To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A poet has thus de- scribed the hosts of an Arabian Caliph, which de- scription we introduce, though his language be most too gorgeous for a grave discourse : CHURCH EXTENSION. 91 " Whose are yon gilded tents that crowd the way, . Where all was waste and silent yesterday ? This war-like city, that in a few short hours. Hath sprung up here, as if the magic powers Had conjured up, far as the eye can see, This world of tents, and domes, and sun-bright armory ; And camels, tufted o'er with Yemen's ...shells, Shaking in every breeze their light-toned bells. " We have chosen our text, with a view to recom- mend and enforce the plan of church extension^ set on foot by our General Assembly, and with which our Presbytery concurs. The plan is simple. It is to call on the whole Presbyterian family in the United States for contributions, with a view to aid in the erection of churches. The fund thus raised is to be sacred to the rearing of edifices in destitute parts — to helping emigrants on our frontier settle- ments — to lifting spires over the lanes of our cities — to succoring congregations oppressed with debt, and to breaking up those petty schemes of paying off the obligations of building committees, to which multitudes resort.
