And to what have we now to trust but to private zeal, when the State is paralyzed by re- ligious divisions, and when the spirit of counsel has departed for a season from the Church ? Where is the power to command, which shall supply every colony of the British Empire with the ministers of the Gospel, as I have seen the wild hills of New Zealand guarded bv the soldiers of the British army, and its harbours by the seamen of our fleet I When will we learn the lesson that the sacrament of the soldi...er of the Cross binds him by a far higher obligation, to fight manfully under his Lord's banner, and to bear it to the utmost bounds of the habitable globe? Is there then no voice to call, no power to com- mand, because the State cannot, and the Church does not speak? There was no earthly power to command Abraham to leave home and kindred, and all that he had ; but it was the voice of God that SERMON III. 47 spake within him. And the same voice of God is speaking now ; yes, speaking to us, calling upon many of us here present to go to some Mount Moriah, some place afar off which God has chosen for the field of our future ministry.
