The Victorious Life by H.W. Webb-Peploe

Introduction

The visit of Rev. Prebendary H.W. Webb-Peploe to this country, in the summer of 1895, is an event not likely to be forgotten by any of those who shared the privilege of hearing him, or even of reading the careful reports of his addresses preserved in the Northfield Echoes.

Prebendary Webb-Peploe is well known in Great Britain as the head of the Evangelical or Low Church party in the Anglican Church, and one of the chief promoters of the Keswick movement, which has been so closely associated with the advance of spiritual life as to come to represent almost a new era of practical religious thought and experience. As was remarked by one of the English visitors at the Northfield Conference, last summer, “there is no need of anyone’s going to Keswick who was at Northfield in August last; for the cream of Keswick teaching was to be found there.”

This remarkable man, Prebendary Webb-Peploe, is yet living, and words which might be fitting to utter of the dead, lack delicacy and propriety, when they anticipate such departure
