Overview

Excerpt from Memoirs of James Robert Hope-Scott of Abbotsford, Vol. 1 of 2: With Selections From His Correspondence But there is, further, a deep religious interest about his character from this circumstance, that, with an outer life of the most intense secular activity, he united in a wonderful degree an inner and secret life of reli gion; and thus showed that, in a soul living under obedience to Divine grace, but finding its duties and its trials in a field where the treasure it most loves might be thought unlikely to be hidden, these two things, in appearance so strangely incompatible, may yet co-exist. In political life, indeed, the biographies of saints af ford many examples of such a combination but it has perhaps been more rarely exhibited in a professional career remote from politics, and yet as active as Mr. Hope - Scott's. The influence, too, which he exercised throughout his life, though living in such great retire ment (except as regarded his profession), is another point which ought not to be forgotten, as showing the possibility of true and practical service being done by Catholics of position, apart both from Parliament and the platform.
