"A Sermon preached at Christ Church, Kensington, on May 1, 1859" by William Wright is a religious sermon delivered during the Victorian era. This text is a historical account of a specific event commemorating a general Thanksgiving for the British military's success in suppressing the Indian rebellion and restoring order in the Indian empire. The sermon deeply reflects on the intersection of faith, governance, and national pride during a time of tumult and upheaval in British India. In the sermon, William Wright emphasizes the relationship between divine providence and the governing authorities of Britain, drawing parallels with biblical figures such as King David. He reflects on the power of collective prayer and the belief that God has favored the British actions in India, both for the glory of His name and for the welfare of the Church. Wright calls for gratitude towards God and encourages the congregation to contribute to the spiritual and social upliftment of the Indian populace, advocating for missionary work as a part of their obligations as a Christian nation. The text concludes with a strong appeal to the audience to actively engage in evangelizing efforts, highlighting the moral imperative to spread the teachings of Christianity to the people of India.
