Men of different temperaments and creeds, Gladstone and Wiseman, Dean Church and Sir Francis Hastings Doyle, Shairp, Mozley and James A. Froude have borne testimony to the lasting effect produced upon them by the sermons of Cardinal Newman. The St. Mary's sermons stirred Oxford to its depths. The Catholic discourses showed no less of power; there was a gain even in breadth and warmth of feeling. These masterpieces are today a storehouse of spiritual energy, a mine seamed with lodes and veins of purest gold.
