ftelves  members  of  that  Churchy  yon  expect  a 
share  in  the  Christian  rites  of  Baptism  tor  your 
children,  and  burial  for  yourselves  >  you  have 
ample  opportunities  of  hearing  the  word  of  God, 
and  of  erijoyin<^  the  privileii^es  of  the  Church. 

But  what  is  vour  conduct?  Manvof  vou  are 
careless  ubout  your  souls,  ignorant  of  your  pnn- 
ciples,  la^iyhig  the  lie  to  your  vows— many  of 
you  break  the  Sabbath  by  fishini^,  or  by  assemb- 
ling iti  Taverns  or  by  ^amblin^,  or  by  neglect- 
ing the  house  of  God  — Many  of  you  live  in  the 
practice  of  sweari Off  and  drinking — many  of 
you  eoitiinit  lewdness,  whordom  and  aduHr}'« — 
Many  cif  you  quarrel  and  slander  and  even  fight 
one  another— brawling,  swearing  and  disgusting 
language  are  continually  heard  in  the  streets^ 
the  roads,  and  bar-rooms;  and  yet  you  are 
warned  by  word  of  mouth,  you  are  reminded  of 
your  sins  and  of  your  duties,  you  are  invired 
Sabbath  after  sabbath  to  return  to  God.  But 
you  live  either  in  a  sleeply  delusion  respecting^ 
the  safety  of  your  souls,  or  else  in  the  secret  or 
open  violation  of  the  laws  of  God.  Hear,  oh 
ye  unwise,  heiar  oh  ye  murderers  of  your  own 
souls!  what  the  Scriptures  baith  "Cursed  is 
every  one  that  continueth  not  in  all  things  that 
are  written  in  the  book  of  the  law  to  do  them/*^ 
(Gal.  iii.  10.) 

If  the  Church  did  her  dnty  she  ^ould  not  only 
warn  and  invite  you,  but  also  mark  the  most 
^agrant  and,  by  the  virtue  ot  the  authority 
{Ef^i ven >  her,  pronounce  you  excommttnieated  un* 
ill  you  vepented  of  your  orying  BiM. 


But  alaSf  we  have  this  to  teanii  neirertbeKtei 
think  noti  oh  ye  who  eommit  the^e  eaottnilies, 
that  he  who  now  writes  out  of  lore  lo  yoitr  somU 
can  define  his  eonsoience  by  knowiof^Iy  gnantiBg 
privileges,  which  are  meant  for  Christians^  ta 
men  who  live  like  heathens.  >« 

Let  me,  by  a  love  which  brought  me  from 
home  and  fr(»m  beloved  kindred,  exhort  you  to 
repent, — by  the  love  of  Jesus,  who  left  his  glory 
and  on  the  cross  stretched  out  his  arms  for  us 
guilty  sinners,  I  beseech  you  turn  to  God*  By 
the  love  of  our  Father,  who  gave  His  &on  for 
the  un^odly^  1  entreat  you  to  tiirn.  By  the  love 
of  the  Holy  Spirit^  whom  ye  resist*  I  pray  you 
to  hear  me.  For  the  sake  of  your  parentst  for 
the  sake  of  childrer?,  wives,  and  property,r-r{bri 
the  sake  of  your  souls  repent  ye,  repent  ye*  g  lo

Oh    ye  self  righteous,  awake  out  of  yojl*'

by  your  good  works,  and  by  your  forms  of  r^H*

Scriptures  saith  **  Cursed  is  every  one  that  con«r

'   9.  To  those  who  listen  to  this  warning*  i  H 

What  must  ye  do,  my  brethren  ?  Seek  ye 
liord  while  he  may  be  found,  call  ye  upon  him 
while  he  is  near.  Let  the  wicked  forsake  his 
way,  and  the  unrighteous  man  his  thoughts  and 
let  him  return  unto  the  Lord  and  he  will  have 
mercy  upon  him,  and  to  our  God  for  he  will 
abundantly  pardon.  Pray  for  a  broken  heart*  i 
4.  To  the  broken  hearted.  v«*t^ 

Go  to  Christ,   believe  in  him — He  was  made 
a  sin  offering  for  you, — give  up  your  own  right- 
eousness for  it  is  an  abomination,  and  believe 
on  the   Lord  your  Righteousness, — you  have  a 
vile  nature;  Christ  wore  a  perfect  nature  for  you. 
You  have  broken  the  laws  of  God, — Christ  has 
kept  them  for  you :  you  have  contracted  a  load 
of  guilt  upon  your  conscience  which  no  tears^ 
or  good  works  of  your  own,  can  do  away*    But 
Christ's  blood  can  wash  away  your  guflt,—- be- 
lieve in  him.    Go  to  him  by  faith,  cast  yourself 
an  him.;  roll  your  burden  of  sin  upon  him.   Re- 
member that  it  is  written  ^'  Him  that  cometh 
to  me  I  will  in  no  wise  cast  out/'   It  was  Christ 
who  said  this  (John  vi.  370     Believe  him  and 
go  to  him.     If  you  feel  the  curse  of  God  in  your  i 
conscience  $  then  look  at  Christ  for  it  is  written,'^ 
Christ  hath  redtf  emed  us  from  the  curse  of  the 
law  being  made  a  curse  for  us.  (Gal.  iii.  13*) 
5*  To  the  faithful  in  Christ  Jesus. 
Brethern  beloved  in  the   Lord.    As  our  Fa- 
ther has  called  us  out  of  sin  and  misery,  having . 
begotten  us.  by  bis  spirit,  in  Christ  Jesus  $  let( 
It  be  our  continued  aim  to  walk  in  fellowship  a 


'■■Hi 


»  %,.•    f 


with  the  Father  and  the  Son ;  and  let  us  hj  Ihtr 
Spirit  which  dwelleth  in  us,  live  in  sweet  fellow* 
ship  one  with  another,  let  us  remember  the  vows 
which  are  upon  us,  let  us  remember  the  pure 
and  holy  principles  of  th^  Church*  and  let  it  be 
our  united  effort  to  bring  them  from  a  dead  let- 
ter to  a  living  power  in  our  hearts  and  in  our 
lives.  Let  us  remember  that  the  great  aim  of 
thie  Church  of  Jesus  is  to  glorify  God  on  earth ; 
:and  such  is  the  design  of  our  public  services,  let 
us  seek  to  carry  this  into  effect,  let  us  guard 
against  the  deadness  and  the  worthless,  and 
the  worldlimindedness  of  the  age:  let  us,  by  a  sim^ 
pie  and  holy  walk  with  Christ,  separate  our- 
selves, not  from  the  communion  of  the  Church, 
but  from  the  communion  of  the  world  without 
and  within  it* 

Lpt  us  bear  testimony  against  sin, — wherever 
we  se^  it,  let  as,  by  the  Lords  help,  seek  oppor- 
tunity to  rebuke  it.  If  we  neglect  this  we  con- 
tract a  habit  of  shrinking  from  duty  which  will 
identify  us  with  the  mass  of  corruption  now  en- 
closed within  the  pale  of  professing  Christen* 
doro,^— by  drawing  back  from  this  duty  we  shall 
also  encourage  in  their  wickedness  those  whom 
we  ought  to  seek  to  snatch  from  the  wrath  to 
come. 

But  let  us  do  this  in  Faith.  Our  rebukes  will 
be  powerless  unless  conveyed  in  Faith, — we 
most  look  to  Christ  for  a  will,  and  words,  and 
for  strength  to  perform  this  duty. 

And  let  us  rebuke  in  love*  The  quarrel  is  not 
<oarB  but  the  Lord's, — we  are  poor  sinners  whose 


ism 


'^_ 


natorft  are  aft  eorropt  at  those  of  othera-^who 
were  once  as  bad  as  others — who  are  saved  only 
by  faith  in  the  blood  and  ri^hteousne&s  of  Jesag 
«— and  who  are  enabled  to  wal^  In  obedience 
only  by  the  power  of  the  Holy  Spirit  and  the 
K^race  of  Christ  mutually  operating  on  our  re- 
newed spirits.-— Let  us  therefore  seeib  mee/rnesst 
love«  forbearance*  and  tenderness  while  we  warn 
sinners  to  flee  from  the  damnation  ot  Hell. 

Finally^  let  us  not  mistaAre  the  meaning  of 
love:  it  is  not  love  which  allows  one  to  stand 
quietly  by  when  a  poor  fell  »w  creature  is  drown- 
ing; nor  onn  it  be  love  which  will  suffer  aeiother 
to  go  on  in  sin  without  making  an  eftort  to  save
