Reminiscences, chiefly of towns, villages and schools (Volume 2).
Robert Money Chatfield had then, and till his death, two years since, the Rectory of Woodford. He had a very high sense of pastoral authority and duty; indeed, as a clergyman he was just what I remember him at Charterhouse, and what he would be at Trinity College, Cambridge, where I see he was fifth in the First Class Classical Tripos. I think I must call him the leading man in our monthly clerical meeting. But I had many a long and sharp discussion with him. I would not hear his Millennial views with common patience. Most of the Messianic prophecies he interpreted by a personal reign of Christ in a miraculously conquered, reunited, and regenerated world. At the crisis of a great struggle, in which the Russians and their confederates were to be on the point of destroying the last remnant of the chosen people, the Messiah, he confidently expected, would descend and destroy all His enemies. The Temple would then be rebuilt, the Daily Sacrifice restored indeed the whole Mosaic ritual and ceremonial, as I remember. It is difficult to say what quarrel he could have with the Oxford Movement on spiritual grounds, but a quarrel he had. He reverted to the topic continually. I paid him a hurried call five years ago, and upon my reminding him of our old controversies he gently observed that all that had passed away. At this call his wife, whom I remember so handsome, so charming, and so full of humour, was too evidently passing away as she has since, her husband following her.
