塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯:节俭·摘录 423
塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《节俭》· Thrift · 投资
"It occurred in this wise. When in town, I occasionally attended, during Lent, the services at Whitehall Chapel, for the sake of hearing a Lenten sermon preached by one of Her Majesty's chaplains. One remarkable sermon of the series was delivered by the Rev. Charles Kingsley, on the 12th of March, on behalf of the Supplemental Ladies' Association of the London Society of Parochial Mission Women. In the sketch which the preacher gave of this excellent institution, he referred to a book entitled 'East and West,' in which the benefits derived by the London poor from the association are clearly set forth; but he dwelt chiefly on the wide separation which divides rich from poor, class from class, in London; and on the dangers which threaten Society from this cause, as was recently exemplified in France. Such was the impression made upon me by the sermon, that, before many days had elapsed, I had purchased 'East and West,' and given the book a careful perusal.

白话
事情是这样的:我在城里时,四旬斋期间偶尔去白厅教堂参加礼拜,为了听女王陛下的牧师讲道。其中一场著名的布道由查尔斯·金斯利牧师于3月12日宣讲,为伦敦教区传教妇女 supplemental 女士协会募捐。牧师在介绍这个优秀机构时,提到一本叫《东与西》的书,清楚说明了伦敦穷人从协会得到的好处;但他主要讲的是伦敦富人与穷人、阶级与阶级之间的巨大隔阂,以及这种隔阂给社会带来的危险,最近在法国就有例证。布道给我留下深刻印象,没过几天我就买了《东与西》仔细阅读。

19世纪伦敦贫富悬殊,金斯利牧师的社会布道影响了斯迈尔斯,促使他关注社会改良。
