Addressing an education meeting at Blackburn on Saturday, Bishop Thornton made reference to the death in South Africa of Major Feilden. He said it was an abominable thing for these Boers to go on doing these murderous things without any possibility of attaining their end. It was hate, it was devilry, which animated the Boers, and the most precious blood was being shed in consequence of it.
