"Sermons at Rugby" by John Percival is a collection of religious addresses delivered at Rugby School, likely written in the early 20th century. This compilation reflects on various themes relevant to student life, faith, and moral character, illustrating the close connection between education and personal development. The author aims to inspire students to foster a spirit of patriotism towards their school and highlights the importance of maintaining one’s moral fervor and character
amid the challenges of growing up. The opening of the work introduces the concept of "Religious Patriotism," emphasizing the emotional bond that students develop with their school as a formative part of their lives. Percival draws on the imagery from Psalm 122 to invoke a sense of unity and collective well-being among the students, urging them to reflect on the impact of their school experience on their future. He discusses the role of personal commitment in cultivating a healthy school community, suggesting that genuine patriotism is indicative of a fulfilling school experience. Overall, the initial sermonic address sets a reflective and motivational tone aimed at encouraging students to think critically about their formative years at Rugby.
