STORY OF A SONG.
Circumstances Under Which
“Three Fishers” Was Written,
Charles Kingsley wrote the
ishers” as a result of the many sal
sights he had seen at Clovelly. One
day of horror in particular lived ir
his memory, a day as he described it
“when the old bay lay darkened with

in his mind.
But the “Three Fishers” was writ
ten as a result of one of the stranges
incidents in the stormy career of the
preacher-author. In 1851 he preache
a sermon in a London church on “Tht
Message of the Church to the Labor

and denounced him. Bishop Blomflel
forbade Kingsley to preach
his diocese, until, having

drew the edict. The
