Not illustrated. 1876 edition. Excerpt: ...mind, and that we use to measure other things by the hurt or good they do to our immortal souls. Again, Christ's Spirit is a Spirit of Counsel and Might. He shews people the right way to obtain what they seek after, and gives them the heart, the courage, the good will, to set at once about that way, however disagreeable to flesh and blood. It is a good sign as to our having the Spirit, when we are ready at once to do those things which our conscience tells us ought to be done, without asking questions, without making excuses or difficulties. When we are bold to say at once to foolish irreligious friends and companions, "I will not go with you in sin, and there is an end of it: " when we make ourselves good rules, or what is still better, observe the good rules of the Church, and keep resolutely to them; when we mind the laughter of idle people less and less, and the secret whisperings of our conscience more and more: when, having considered beforehand and made up our minds what is right to be done, and strengthened ourselves with prayer and Holy Communion, we steadily deny ourselves in order to perform our good intentions, not listening to our own indolent scruples nor to the frivolous objections of men: all these are good marks of our still being possessed with the Spirit of Counsel and Might, Who was given us at our Baptism. But most especially He is the Spirit of Knowledge and of the Fear of the Lord. Those who have not in any degree made void His gracious influences have a sort of inward light within them; an instinct, such as that by which children know their parents, which tells them at once what ought to be done, without long calculation and reasoning. And most especially He causes the Fear of the Lord to be present with us. He brings it...

(Excerpt from Tracts for the Times: On the Mysticism Attri...)
Excerpt from Tracts for the Times: On the Mysticism Attributed to the Early Fathers of the Church One would think it impossible to go beyond this in the way of disparagement; but so it is, that in the course of the century which has elapsed since Whitby and Middleton, a yet more disrespectful, because more summary, way of dealing with the Fathers has become current. Whitby and Middleton did think it necessary to appear to have examined what is really to be found in Antiquity; and the former especially exhibits, throughout his treatise above-mentioned, what on his principles must be called a morbid anxiety, to confirm his own views on several important subjects, (on original sin, for example, and the natural condition of infants,) by the testimony of the very writers, whom he is most busy in disparaging. But in our day, perhaps, the more usual course is, for persons, who do not even pro fess any acquaintance with those writers, beyond vague impres sions received from report or quotation, to dispose of their authority in any controverted point, under the notion, understood or expressed, that the Fathers were Mystics, and need not be regarded at all.

(The power of Kebles verse lies in its truth. A faithful ...)
The power of Kebles verse lies in its truth. A faithful and pure nature, strong in home affections, full of love and reverence for all that is of heaven in our earthly lot, strives for the full consecration of mans life with love and faith. There is no rare gift of genius. Keble is not in subtlety of thought or of expression another George Herbert, or another Henry Vaughan. But his voice is not the less in unison with theirs, for every note is true, and wins us by its purity. His also are melodies of the everlasting chime.

John Keble was born on 25 April 1792 in Fairford, where his father served a vicar.
A brilliant student at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, he was elected a Fellow of Oriel College there in 1811 and remained as a tutor until 1823, when he became a country curate.
His career (1807–11) at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, was one of unusual distinction.
His book of hymns, The Christian Year, appeared in 1827, and from 1831 to 1841 he was Professor of Poetry at Oxford. Keble is perhaps best known for the part he played in launching the "High Church" movement with Pusey and Newman, his friends at Oriel College: his sermon at Oxford on July 14, 1833, National Apostasy, was regarded by Newman as opening the campaign.
Keble also contributed eight articles to the Tracts for the Times, from which the Tractarian movement took its name.
Alarmed at the suppression of 10 bishoprics in Ireland, Keble preached (1833) a sermon that he called"National Apostasy.
"J. H. Newman later called this the beginning of the Oxford movement.
From 1836 he held the living of Hursley, Hampshire.
His works include an edition of Richard Hooker's works (1836), a life of Bishop Wilson (1863), the Oxford Psalter (1839) and Lyra Innocentium: Thoughts in Verse on Children (1846).
Among his poems are the well-known hymns Red o'er the Forest, New Every Morning Is Thy Love, and Sun of My Soul.

He was a member of The Oxford Movement.
