Men of the Time, eleventh edition/Bullock, Charles
BULLOCK, The Rev. Charles, B.D., was born in 1829, and educated at St. Bee's College, Cumberland. He was ordained in 1855 to the curacy of Rotherham, Yorkshire. He removed, in 1856, to Ripley, near Harrogate, and afterwards held the sole charge of Christ Church, Luton, in Bedfordshire. In 1859 he became curate of St. Nicholas', Worcester, of which parish the late Canon Havergal was rector; and on his retirement, in 1860, Bishop Pepys appointed Mr. Bullock as his successor. He held this post for fourteen years, during which period the fine old church was restored, at a cost of more than £3000, and a rectory house built. In 1874 he removed to Blackheath, in order to devote himself to the dissemination of pure literature. In recognition of his services in this direction the Archbishop of Canterbury conferred on him the degree of B.D. The magazines edited by him are The Fireside (first published in 1864), Home Words, which in its localized form is known throughout the country, and The Day of Days, for Sunday reading. In 1876 he founded Hand and Heart, as a penny illustrated Church of England newspaper. Recently its title has been changed to The Church Standard, as more in keeping with its distinctive features. Hand and Heart still appearing as a monthly social and temperance paper. Mr. Bullock has written "The Way Home; or, the Gospel in the Parable," which has been translated into Norwegian; "England's Royal Home;" "The Home Life of the Prince Consort;" "Doubly Royal;" "What Church? or, The Only Faith and Fold;" "Words of Ministry;" "The Best Wish;" "Earthly Stories with Heavenly Meanings;" "The Syrian Leper;" "The Parents' Gift: a Help to Early Prayer and Praise;" "Heart Cheer for Home Sorrow;" "The Forgotten Truth;" "Hugh Stowell: a Life and its Lessons;" "The Sunday-School Gift;" "What do we owe Him?" "Can Nothing be Done?" "Within the Palace Gates;" and "Robin's Carol, and what came of it."
