Excerpt from The Parting of the Ways: An Address
In Giving The First Of The Annual Memorial Lectures which have been instituted to commemorate Mr. Larner Sugden in the town where he lived and worked, it would be proper that some portion at least of my address should be devoted to Mr. Sugden himself. It was chiefly through his energy and devotion that this Church was founded six years ago, and that it has been sustained since. His early death must in any case have been a severe loss for this town and neighbourhood, to the cause of labour, to the cause of Socialism, and to the still wider cause of justice and humanity. That loss is however the greater, that, by what I gather was the unanimous testimony of all who knew him, he was a human being of rare temper and accomplishment. His influence, so I apprehend, survives here less in the many buildings with which in the exercise of his daily work he adorned this town and district, than in the example which he set, and continues to set, in the minds of his friends, of a life lived single-heartedly and courageously, pursuing truth and right, careless of self-interest, and with an eye always fixed upon the high ideals which those are unhappy who have never known, and which those who have known but failed to follow are unhappier still.
