Oxford, then an evangelical college. He took first-class honours in 1836, and in 1838 was elected See also:fellow of See also:Oriel. One of his contemporaries, Richard See also:Mitchell, commenting on this See also:election, said: " There is such a moral beauty about Church that they could not help taking him." He was appointed See also:tutor of Oriel in 1839, and was ordained the same See also:year. He was an intimate friend of J. H. See also:Newman at this See also:period, and closely allied to the Tractarian party. In 1841 No. 90 of Tracts for the Times appeared, and Church resigned his tutorship. In 1844–1845 he was junior See also:proctor, and in that capacity, in See also:concert with his See also:senior colleague, vetoed a proposal to censure Tract90 publicly. In 1846 Church, with others, started The See also:Guardian newspaper, and he was an early contributor to The Saturday See also:Review. In 185o he became engaged to See also:Miss H. F. See also:Bennett, of a See also:Somerset-See also:shire See also:family, a niece of See also:George See also:Moberly, See also:bishop of See also:Salisbury. After again holding the tutorship of Oriel, he accepted in 185a the small living of Whatley in See also:Somersetshire, near See also:Frome, and was married in the following year. He was a diligent See also:parish See also:priest and a serious student, and contributed largely to current literature. In 1869 he refused a canonry at See also:Worcester, but See also:iit 1871 he accepted, most reluctantly (calling it " a See also:sacrifice en pure perte "), the deanery of St See also:Paul's, to which he was nominated by W. E. See also:Gladstone.
His task as See also:dean was a complicated one. It was (1) the restoration of the See also:cathedral; (2) the See also:adjustment of the question of the cathedral revenues with the Ecclesiastical Commissioners; (3) the reorganization of a conservative cathedral See also:staff with anomalous vested rights. He described the intention of his See also:appointment to be " that St Paul's should waken up from its See also:long slumber." The first year that he spent at St Paul's was, writes one of his See also:friends, one of " misery " for a See also:man who loved study and quiet and the See also:country, and hated See also:official pomp and See also:financial business and ceremonious appearances. But he performed his difficult and uncongenial task with almost in-credible success, and is said never to have made an enemy or a See also:mistake. The dean was distinguished for uniting in a singular degree the virtues of austerity and sympathy. He was pre-eminently endowed with the See also:faculty of See also:judgment, characterized by See also:Canon See also:Scott See also:- HOLLAND

Holland as the See also:gift of " high and See also:fine and sane
and robust decision." Though of unimpressive stature, he had a strong magnetic See also:influence over all brought into contact with him, and though of a naturally See also:gentle temperament, he never hesitated to See also:express censure if he was convinced it was deserved. In the See also:pulpit the See also:voice of the dean was deliberately monotonous, and he employed no See also:adventitious gesture. He may be described as a High Churchman, but of an essentially rational type, and with an See also:enthusiasm for religious See also:liberty that made it impossible for him to sympathize with any unbalanced or inconsiderate demands for deference to authority. He said of the Church of See also:England that there was " no more glorious church in Christendom than this inconsistent English Church." The dean often meditated resigning his See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office, though his reputation as an ecclesiastical statesman stood so high that he was regarded in 1882 as a possible successor to See also:Archbishop See also:Tait. But his See also:health and mode of See also:life made it out of the question. In 1888 his only son died; his own health declined, and he appeared for the last ,See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

A collection of his journalistic articles was published in 1897 as Occasional Papers. In these writings he exhibits a See also:great grasp of principles, an accurate mastery of detail, and the same See also:fusion of intelligent sympathy and dispassionate judgment that appeared in his handling of business. His See also:style is lucid, and has the See also:charm of austerity. He stated that he had never studied style per se, but that he had acquired it by the exercise of See also:translation from classical See also:languages; that he watched against the temptation of using unreal and fine words; that he employed care in his choice of verbs rather than in his use of adjectives; and that he fought against self-See also:indulgence in See also:writing just as he did in daily life. His sermons have the same quality of self-See also:restraint. His private letters are fresh and See also:simple, and contain many unaffected epigrams; in writing of religious subjects he resolutely avoided dogmatism without ever sacrificing precision. The dean was a man of See also:genius, whose moral stainlessness and instinctive See also:fire were indicated rather than revealed by his writings.
