 My dear Lord, 
 
 It was one of my greatest pleasures on 
 reaching England to hear of your Lordship's 
 deserved appointment to the high and exalted 
 station which you occupy, and afterwards to be 
 present at your Lordship's Consecration, and to 
 mingle my prayers with those of so many others 
 on that solemn occasion. I could not but think 
 at the time of the days of boyhood spent together, 
 of intercourse so happily commenced at the outset 
 of life, and friendship continued without inter- 
 ruption, save by distance from each other, for 
 more than two-and-thirty yea.s. 
 
 Nor could it be a small gratification to be 
 invited, through the kindness of your Lordship,

 to represent the case of my tar-distant Diocese, 
 the wants of the Indian of the wihlerness, in the 
 centre of li-ht and civilization. How different 
 the circumstances of the Church from tlie time 
 when sermons were preached by Kidley and 
 Jewel at Paul's Cross ! It is, if I mistake not, 
 instead of them, that your Lordship has now the 
 appointment of the Morning Preacher in the 
 Cathedral ; and this has given you the oppor- 
 tunity, so happily seized, of combining within its 
 walls the voices from the East and from the 
 West in the compass of a single month. Our 
 beloved Church would now be in act, what your 
 Cathedral is in type and figure, an overshadow- 
 ing mother, embracing under her wing many 
 Churches, and stretching her boughs unto the 
 sea and her branches unto the river. 
 
 Does it not afford a proof of the vast extent 
 and energy of the Church of the present day, 
 that in my remotest boundary I find those who 
 bear the license of your Lordship's predecessor 
 — that in Vancouver's Lland our Dioceses meet ? 
 It will be matter of deep thankfulness if I am 
 ever permitted to visit that spot, and carry out 
 in any measure your Lordship's wishes there. 
 . And the happiest day of my life, in anticipation, 
 would be that on which, if health and strength be 
 
 I 
 
grunted, I may gaze on the distant Pacific, and 
 feel that I have traversed the ^ .nd from sea to sea. 
 It is, I am sure, needless to ask for myself 
 and mv land a casual romemhrance in vour Lord- 
 ship's prayerh ; and it is, I trust, equally un- 
 necessarv to assure vou, that from the West our 
 hearts will often revert to the centre w^hence we 
 were sent forth, and our prayers wiU ascend for 
 him to whom, in an especial manner, the care of 
 the Missionary os of Britain is entrusted. 
 
 That your Lor be abundantly strength- 
 
 ened by God's y"^^ ie overpowering charge 
 
 committed to you ; u.., you may ever possess, 
 what you have already so largely gained, the 
 affection and esteem of an attached Clergy ; that 
 manv davs of health may be ffiven vou on earth, 
 and many souls, at the great day of the Lord, 
 prove your joy and crown of rejoicing, is the 
 sincere antl earnest prayer of 
 
 Your afl^ectionate friend and brother, 
 
 David Rupert's Land.

 " What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation? 
 That the Lord hath founded Zion, and the poor of his 
 people shall .rust in (marg. betake themselves into) H.** 
 — ISA. xiv. 32. 
 
 The stream of time is ever presenting a suc- 
 cession of similar events. Historical parallels 
 are found to recur in ages and countries the 
 most remote from each other. For one such 
 parallel we have the highest authority, that of 
 inspiration. Linked as the two portions of the 
 volume of God are together, we cannot doubt that 
 the historical record of the Old Testament is in 
 some way to be reproduced under the New. The 
 Spirit by the Apostle has told us that ixll things 
 which happened to the Israelites happened unto 
 them, for ensamples, and are written for our ad- 
 monition. And so, casting off Jewish peculiarities, 
 and that which marked out the dispensation as 
 only for an isolated people, and for a passing 
 season, we can always draw from what we read of 
 them some saving instruction for ourselves.

 Now, in the earlier portion of the chapter 
 of our text, we have, you will remember, the 
 thrilling and magnificent prediction of the over- 
 throw of the King of Babylon, and the deliver- 
 ance of the people of the Lord. We have the 
 haughty monarch represented in bold imagery, 
 as welcomed by his compeers in the unseen 
 ^oria, — his pomp brought down to the grave, 
 the worm spread under him and the worms 
 covering him. As a pledge of the fulfilment 
 of the more distant subject, the Prophet adduces 
 the destruction of the host of the Assyrians, 
 the army of Sennacherib, almost at the very 
 gates of' Jerusalem. And then he passes to 
 notice events nearer at hand. Under Uzziah 
 the Philistines had suffered severely and been 
 brought low, but during the reign of Ahaz 
 their courage had revived, and on the accession 
 of Hezekiah they still hoped to be able to corry 
 out successfullv their plans and projects. 
 
 The Prophet is commissioned to declare that 
 it will be even worse for every enemy of Jerusalem 
 under Hezekiah; that under him the pov\er of 
 God's people will only be more confirmed ; and 
 that if any come to sue for peace, or to inquire 
 regarvling the wonders and deliverances wrought 
 for Judah by God's arm, they are to be told " that 
 the Lord hath founded Zion, and the poor of 
 his people shall trust in it." May not, then, 
 this message of comfort to Jerusalem prove one 
 of comfort to ourselves ? Ages have passed away

 since these words were written, and yet, enlarging 
 our field of view, and changing our standing- 
 point, we may perhaps be guided into some profit- 
 able and suggestive reflections by means of them. 
 We would contemplate, — The Question which 
 seems implied in the words, — The Answer con- 
 tained in them, and, — The Ingathering of the 
 poor into the Zion of the living God. 
 
 To view then, first, the Question of the text, 
 and the analogous and corresponding question, 
 proposed by many around us at the present day. 
 
 The messengers in the case before us were 
 those sent by a small tribe, or if, with some 
 commentators,* we admit the word to be a plural 
 noun (nations), they were those sent by a few 
 of the surrounding tribes, to inquire regarding 
 the actual position and true strength of Judah 
 and Jerusalem. Now the nation to which the 
 appeal was made, measured in the balance of 
 earthly kingdoms, was but a small one, insig- 
 nificant when compared with Babylon the golden 
 city, or with the power of the proud Assyrian ; 
 and vet, there was a mi<xht on the side of this 
 despised people which proved that God was with 
 them. What a miracle and marvel Jerusalem 
 must thus have appeared to the nations dwelling 
 on the earth, to the messengers of the nations 
 who came to inquire regarding her ! They visit 
 a country of narrow and confined limits, thev find 
 
 * The Scptuagint has tlie phiral, aiul this Yitringa also 
 prefers. 
 
10 
 
 within it inhabitants scarcely known beyond their 
 own borders ; but they approach Jerusalem and 
 they are told that this is the city of the hving 
 God Thev see the outward glory and splendour 
 of the Temple, and they hear of its hidden its 
 inner magnificence, its holy and holy of holies. 
 They go about Zion and mark her bulwarks, 
 and, as thev retire, they feel that her protection 
 must be from heaven. And to the messengers, 
 whatever their errand or object, whether from 
 Babylon or Assyria, from the Philistines or any 
 of the nations around, the one answer to be 
 returned by the command of God is the same, 
 "The Lord hath founded Zion." 
 
 Where, then, is there anything corresponding 
 to this at the present hour ? lliere is, surely, a 
 land to which the messengers of the nations 
 come ; nations, that scarcely know her position, 
 feel her power ; and tliey send their ambassadors 
 from afar, to ascertain if possible the secret of 
 her strength and security. The tide of revolution 
 sweeps over other lands, but is rolled back from 
 this one. Her foes arc many and powerful, but 
 they all feel that there is a mightier arm than that 
 of man arrayed on her side. She prevails far and 
 near through the terror of her arms ; but she has 
 other victories,- her peaceful conquests thnt she 
 carries to the ends of the earth, the triumphs of 
 the Gospel of Christ. It is not that we identify 
 the land with Zion, or confine the term to our 
 own Church or country ; rather is it because of 
 
 
11

 her connexion with Zion that God blesses the 
 land, because in her the Zion of God is planted 
 and cherished, by her the borders of Zion are 
 enlarged and extended ; and while she remains 
 tbus favourable and gracious to Zion, God will 
 make her a praise and a glory in the earth. 
 
 The messengers of the nations, then, come to 
 Britain, to behold her power and to demand 
 the secret of her strength. If able to hear the 
 voice of God addressing her in the words before 
 us, if she but listen to them and follow out their 
 spirit, how sure and invincible her position ! 
 for how long a period may she still have cause 
 to say, *'The Lord of hosts is with us, the God 
 of Jacob is our refuge ! " 
 
 But, narrowing for a few moments our view, 
 and taking the words in a subordinate application, 
 the present, we would remark, is peculiarly the 
 season of inquiry regarding her spiritual strength, 
 the amount of her peaceful progress. Year by 
 year as the wh ^els of time roll round, meetings 
 are held as at this time to inquire and tell what 
 God hath wrought. 
 
 The question, for example, that would suggest 
 itself to the mind, — the question that might first 
 be proposed, would be, Whether any other tribe or 
 nation dwelling on the earth, hitherto in heathen 
 darkness, has through another year received the 
 message of salvation and accepted the offer of 
 grace? — is any fresh country accessible to the feet 
 of the messenger of peace, of him " that bringeth 
 
l!2 
 
 good tidings of good, that publishcth salvation ? 
 And, brethren, it is surely a privilege to hear ot 
 a continent opened up,* of a wilderness begmmng 
 to blossom,t of tribes casting off the bondage of 
 superstition and the cruelties of war, and rejoicing 
 in the glorious libertv wherewith Christ makes 
 free How cohl and insensible the heart which 
 can listen to the recital of such tidings unmoved ! 
 And then, too, another question would natu^- 
 rally follow : Has the word of God penetrated 
 farther throuoh another year ; has it been trans- 
 lated into anv fresh languages, so as to speak 
 to another nation in their own tongue of the 
 wonderful works of God? Here another noble 
 Society would take up its tale, and number up 
 the languages of earth, in which the voice o 
 the living God is now speaking to man. And 
 •n this way each year would bring in evidence, 
 that the word of the Lord is having free course 
 and being glorified. If, then, you believe that 
 the leaves of this tree are for the healing ot 
 the nations, is not the duty laid upon you to 
 spread them in every tongue, through which the 
 heart of man can be approached ? 
 
 Nor would the questions relate only to the 
 work abroad. It might be asked. While sym- 
 pathv embraces the heathen afar off, does it also 
 overtake the wretched and the outcast at home . 
 And while the hand of pity is stretched out to 
 succour such as have never heard the joyful

 sound, from their distance in remoter lands, the 
 same hand is found seeking out those who have 
 cast off the fear of God, and drowned the thought 
 of rehgion, though near them, and at their very 
 doors. 
 
 Are there not others, also, regarding whom 
 the minds of all would anxiously inquire, — those, 
 once the people of God, now for a season afar off, 
 though still beloved for the father's sake? As 
 the light spreads over the world, and the fulness 
 of the Gentiles seems to approach, how eagerly 
 v;ould the believer ask, Is the time to favour 
 Zion, the set time, yet come ? And on this 
 head information would be given, and we should 
 learn how God's people are earnestly pleading 
 with Him to arise and have mercy upon Zion, 
 how His servants take pleasure in her stones, 
 and favour the dust thereof. 
 
 Now these, it is readily allowed, are scarcely 
 the subjects on which the messengers of the 
 nations might inquire. They would be more 
 likely to ask about the wealth and outward re- 
 sources, — the treasures of the land, as in the 
 verv time of Hezekiah : thev miofht desire in- 
 formation regarding her naval and military 
 power, or the measure of comfort and hap- 
 piness diffused throughout the nation at large. 
 And yet, after beholding these things, and gain- 
 ing the fullest detail about them all, would there 
 not be, beyond and beneath, something for which 
 they could not account, and which would still 
 
14 
 
 require farther explanation ? And is it not the 
 case, that if they looked into the matters of 
 which we treat, the solution, or, at all events, 
 a partial solution, miglit be found ? Is not 
 
 Britain's a moral weight among the nations 
 
 the weight of Christian character and Christian 
 influence ? Is not her greatest glory the guar- 
 dianship of the truth of God — is not her high 
 vocation its dissemination throughout the world ? 
 And, therefore, the secret of her strength lies 
 very much in the exercise of the trust committed 
 to her. " Put in trust with the Gospel" — what 
 a gem on her brow ! Oh, may she not be 
 ashamed to reveal this, when the messengers of 
 the nations ask her of her strength ; may she 
 have grace to declare (jod's glory among the 
 heathen, and His wonders among all the people ! 
 But this would appear more fully b'^ con- 
 sidering, secondly, the Answer furnished in our 
 text. How full of calm and simple dignity the 
 short reply, — " The Lord hath founded Zion ! " 
 Whatever the fluctuations around ; whatever 
 enemy may approach her ; from whatever quarter 
 the messengers may com.e, and on whatever 
 errand ; what security in the assurance that her 
 foundations are upon the holy hills, that the 
 Lord loveth the gates of Zion ! Sennacherib felt 
 this when the voice of God declared, '' 1 will 
 defend this city for mine own sake." Babylon 
 felt it when the hour of her doom arrived ; and 
 the Philistines watched in vain for the moment 
 
 f 
 
? 
 
 i 
 
 i 
 
 15 
 
 when they might triumph over God's heritage, 
 and trample them under their feet. 
 
 But where, and what is the foundation, since 
 Jerusalem hath been trodden down, and her 
 glory swept away ? Was there not something 
 connected with Zion which shall never end ? 
 Was there not a foundation laid there of a build- 
 ing, which shall only be consummated and com- 
 pleted in eternity ? Listen to an Apostle, quoting 
 the words of our Prophet: — *' Behold, 1 lay in 
 Zion a chief corner-stone, elect, precious, and 
 he that believeth on Him shall not be con- 
 founded." As here explained by the Spirit, the 
 foundation would seem to rest on the work and 
 word of Christ. The stone, which is become the 
 head of the corner, — this, you well know from 
 His own gracious declaration, is the Saviour, in 
 the fulness of His finished sacrifice — the blood 
 shed upon the cross. But the same passage 
 links very closely the stone and the believer's 
 faith ; it describes the stone as elect and pre- 
 cious, and because of this sets forth the necessity 
 and privilege of a living faith. There is, then, 
 a work wrought out and accomplished, and there 
 is the record of that work to be believed and 
 rested in ; or, to express it otherwise, the work 
 and the word of Christ. Oh, what a blessed 
 foundation here! the blood of Emmanuel, God 
 with us ! the voice of the Spirit speaking to us 
 in the word! Let either of these be dimmed 
 or obscured, and the ground on which the sinner 
 
 i 
 
depends for acceptarn'o totters boncatli liis f"»* ■ 
 let the virtue and reality of the sacrifice "bo 
 questioned, and where is the sinner's hope for 
 the pardon of sin? and h,t tlie Divine inspira- 
 tion of the record be doubted, and where is the 
 assurance that the declaration of forgiveness is 
 from God? But, with the work and word of 
 Chnst in all their glory, how strong the sinner's 
 hope— how blessed the ministry of souls ' This 
 IS the message of sovereign efficacv,_this th- 
 secret of victory over the powers of darkness^ 
 for on the banners of all who would win souls 
 from Satan, until the last one is gathered in 
 would be the universal inscription, _- Thev 
 overcame him by t'.e blood of the Lamb, by the 
 word of their testimony." 
 
 New to this foundation we can obviously add 
 nothing. The work was finished when the Re- 
 deemer bowed His sacred head ; the word and 
 record were sealed up when the volume was 
 closed and given to the expectant Church, with 
 the prayer, " Even so, come." To its security 
 man can contribute nothing. " Other founda- 
 tion can no man lay than that is laid, which 
 :s Jesus Chust." Man's oflice is but to build, 
 to place the feet of perishing sinners thereon. 
 As the Baptist pointed to the Saviour and said. 
 Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh awav 
 the sin of the world;" as the beloved Apostle' 
 who saw the drops of blood falling from the' 
 Kodeemers sacred person as He hung upon the 
 
17 
 
 cross, delighted to point to that fountain and say, 
 " The blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth from all 
 sin," so we only point to Jesus Christ and Him 
 crucified, and invite sinners, in His own gracious 
 words, '' Look unto me, and be ye saved, all ye 
 ends of the world." 
 
 Wherever, then, this blessed message is pro- 
 claimed, wherever the work and word are set 
 forth, there the Zion of God is planted ; and 
 although nought is or can be added to the 
 strength of the foundation, yet as the well- 
 known Eastern tree plants its roots in fresh 
 soil, and each branch becomes a tree, and all 
 grows in solidity, and strength, and beauty, 
 though still deriving sap and moisture from the 
 parent stem, so it is with the Temple, which 
 grows and spreads, though from the one found- 
 ation. Besides, as the stones of this spiritual 
 edifice are not dead and inert, but all lively 
 stones, full of power and animation from above, 
 they are each of them endued with an attractive 
 energy; and, therefore, while the foundation 
 remains the same, the attractive power of the 
 whole becomes, from age to age, indefinitely 
 increased. And to all the lively stones so ga- 
 thered in, from countries the most remote from 
 the earthly Jerusalem, and to the latest periods 
 of the Church's history, the Apostle would say, 
 " Ye are come unto Mount Zion, the city of the 
 living God, the heavenly Jerusalem." 
 
 Here, then, is the one foundation in its 
 
 B 
 
1$ 
 
 essential and incommunicable glory ; yet here is 
 the foundation, in another sense muU.ply.ns 
 itself among the Churches of the txentdes. In 
 extent of superstructure, in attractive povver, how 
 much is it gaining from year to year ! How 
 great the privilege of planting it wherever lost 
 man is found! how solemn the responsibility to 
 plant it as wise master-builders ! And as it is 
 one spirit which reigns throughout the whole, 
 how necessary to keep up a healthy circulation, 
 so that the life-blood may pass to animate tl.u 
 extremities, and then return to the centre to 
 draw fresh nourishment, so that the spiritual 
 household may feel a oneness m Christ,- an 
 intercommunion, an all-pervading sympathy 
 
 And from what spot can the answer, " ihc 
 Lord hath founded Zion," be given forth more 
 suitably than from the Cathedral of the me- 
 tropolis of this mighty land, from which the 
 work and the word of the Saviour are d.flused 
 through the most distant nations of the earth .' 
 Does this our Metropolitan Church bear the 
 name of the great Apostle of the Gentiles, and 
 does it contain the memorials of the depar ed 
 the trophies of those who have made the l,ritish 
 name renowned ' land or sea ? Is it not as 
 great an honour t ".r country to be the nursing- 
 mother of the Chu .hos of the Gentiles, to have 
 it in commission to say to the messengers ot the 
 nations, "The Lord hath founded Zion 
 
 If, listening to the invitation of the bmlder 
 
10 
 
 of this imposing fabric, wc look around, it is to 
 behold tho mighty effort of human genius, and 
 the memorials of the dead ; but if wc take a 
 wider survey, and from this s[)ot look around on 
 the work and word of the Lord, as published 
 and passing hence to the ends of the earth, how- 
 glorious and yet how humbling the view ! In the 
 East the foundaiion is laid ; in India countries 
 are pressed upon us, in order that the standard 
 of the Cross may be unfurled in them. In China 
 the foundation is planted, and, although there 
 may be the passing cloud, our assurance would 
 be that of the Psalmist, — ** The Lord is King, be 
 the people never so impatient: He sitteth be- 
 tween the cherubim, be the earth never so un- 
 quiet. The Lord is great in Zion and high 
 above all people." And in the remotest West 
 the same foundation is, we trust, planted in the 
 recesses of the lonely wilderness, and stretching 
 to the distant Pacific. Here, then, are Zion's 
 watchmen, placed on their towers on the ex- 
 tremest veroe of the earth, — watchmen who are to 
 declare their message, to lift up their voice to 
 their fellow-creatures, and to plead with God for 
 man, *' until He make Jerusalem a praise in 
 the earth." 
 
 While thus the messengers of the truth oc- 
 cupy the extremities of the earth, while they in a 
 manner encircle the globe, who, brethren, are 
 those who are gathered in ? The text would 
 lead us to consider, lastly, the Ingathering of the 
 
 1 
 
!20 
 
 poor into the Zion of the livinc? God ; betaking 
 themselves into it, as we read in the vnaroin. 
 
 With the experience of centuries, and the 
 enlarged opportunities of observation of tlic pre- 
 sent "da/, how is this confinned ? Shall we 
 ascend even to Him, who spake as never man 
 spake, and ask who received His word? Wc 
 read that the common people heard Him gladly ; 
 we find, tliat when in Nazareth He declared, 
 ''This day is this Scripture fdfilled in your 
 ears," the first portion fulfilled was, "'J^he Spirit 
 of the Lord is upon me, because He hath anointed 
 me to pi each the Gospel to the poor." Such, 
 too, was the Kedeemer's proof to the Baptist of 
 His Messiahship and mission, that "the poor 
 have the Gospel preached to them.*' 
 
 And in Apostolic times, although the preach- 
 ing wvu- not without a blessing among the coun- 
 cil 'ors at Athene, or Nero's household at Home, 
 who were, for the most part, the willing hearers ? 
 What saith the Apostle, the ns^st largely blessed 
 in gathering in from among the Gentiles ? " Not 
 many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, 
 not many noble are called ; but God hath chosen 
 the foolish things, the v.dak things, the base 
 things, and things which are despised, that no 
 flesh should glory in his presence." Such is the 
 general tenor of Scripture. However rebellious 
 in the day of their prosperity, God testifies of 
 Israel, "In their affliction they will seek me 
 early." by another prophet He decla.es, "I will 
 
 V 
 
m 
 
 leave in the midst of tliee an afflicted and poor 
 people, and they ."^hall trust in the name of the 
 Lord." And does not an Apostle ask with a 
 peculijirly impressive earnestness, ♦' Hearken, my 
 heloved hrethren, hath not (jod chosen the poor 
 of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the king- 
 dom which lie hath promised to them that love 
 Ilim ?" All this would tend to show a common 
 condition of heart, rather than one outward con- 
 dition of life, as marking God's people. The 
 m(>tto over the gate of the heavenlv Zion would 
 be the first of the Redeemer'^ oeatitudes, — 
 ** Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the 
 kingdom of heaven." Such, then, are they who 
 are being gathered in from every country and 
 clime by the power of the Spirit. And is it not 
 remarkably seen at the present ho'ir, and con- 
 firmed bv every missionary record ? How small 
 comparatively the success among the proud 
 Brahmins, among those whose minds are filled 
 with a false philosophy in India or Chini ! But 
 take the African, brought low, ground down by 
 the pressure of distress, and when the Spirit 
 speaks, it speaks comfortably to his heart. Take 
 the New Zealander, and the hour of his lowest 
 depression becomes the very season for gathering 
 almost a whole nation into the fold. Oh, that 
 in the second generation they may preserve the 
 simplicity of their faith, the purity of their first 
 love I 
 
 And in our own far-distant land, brethren, 
 
._-L..MIin.*irtiW. 
 
 22 
 
 how touching has often been the tale of want 
 and famine, coupled with the exercise of the 
 most child-like trust in Gcd! How often is the 
 Psalmist's picture realised, " They wander in the 
 wilderness, in a solitary way ; they find no city to 
 dwell in : hungry and thirsty, their soul fainteth 
 in them ; they crv unto the Lord in their trouble, 
 and He delivereth them out of their distress!" 
 How often is there a longing for grace, even in 
 the extremity of earthly want, — a longing which 
 God graciously satisfies in fulfilment of His pro- 
 mise, — *' When the poor and needy seek water 
 and there is none, and their tongue faileth for 
 thirst, I the Lord will hear them, I the God of 
 Israel will not forsake them. I will open rivers 
 in dry places, and fountains in the midst of the 
 valleys. I will make the wilderness a pool of 
 water, and the dry land springs of water." Oh ! 
 if there be on earth, according to the expressive 
 figure of the Prophet in the chapter of our text, 
 "the firstborn of the poor," the poorest of the 
 poor, we have them among our own poor Indians ; 
 and, blessed be God, from among them many 
 feed in Zion's pastures, and the wilderness begins 
 to re-echo with the prayer and praise which 
 ascend from their lonely tents. How many will 
 have cause through eternity to bless God, that 
 Zion'^. foundation was planted among them ; 
 that there are the Zoars, the cities of refuge, 
 dotting the land, to flee unto ! The prouder 
 Indian may stand aloof, and, unwilling to ac- 
 
23 
 
 knowledge himself a transgressor, may behold, 
 and wonder, and perish ; but the poor and lowly 
 inquirer, anxious to be delivered from the burden 
 of sin, and to be taught by the Spirit, enters in, 
 and the universal prayer, the Litany of all the 
 redeemed, gathered out of the lands, from the 
 east and from the west, from the north and from 
 the south, would be the same, — " Have mercy 
 upon us miserable sinners." 
 
 And oh ! what a change passes over the scene 
 when the poor betake themselves into Zion, and 
 the prodigal finds a welcome in the bosom of his 
 Father, a sympathising heart in the Redeemer, 
 and a fountain of holiness and peace in the power 
 of the Holy Spirit ! The land may remain out- 
 wardly the samr^, the severity of climate and 
 the extremity of want may bring low, but there 
 is in the tent the lamp which leads to endless 
 day ; there is, as the poor Indian pines away, 
 shivering at times, and hunger-stricken, a hope 
 that cheers with the prospect of a place in the 
 mansions prepared for the redeemed. God is 
 found even now to "comfort Zion, to comfort 
 all her waste places, to make her wilderness like 
 Eden, and her desert lii • the garden of the 
 Lord : iov and Madness are found therein, 
 thanksgiving, and the voice of melody." 
 
 While thus answering the question to others, 
 mav we not, in conclusion, do well to ask our 
 own hearts whether we are indeed on the true 
 foundation. It is a signal blessing to behold 
 
I 
 
 24 
 
 many building on that foundation around us, but 
 how much more blessed to feel that our own feet 
 are upon the rock, and to be able from the depth 
 of our own experience to say, " The name of the 
 Lord is a strong tower, the righteous runneth 
 into it and is safe." Do we value as we ou^^ht 
 our Christian name, our Christian parents, our 
 Christian country? How different to live in 
 a land where the true light shines and has shone 
 for centuries, and to live where the sights and 
 sounds of heathenism are continually obtruded 
 upon us I 
 
 Again, what a privilege to be permitted to 
 plant the foundation in other lands, and invite 
 the poor and outcast, the weary and the heavy 
 laden, to betake themselves to it! To whom 
 more than to ourselves could the charge be 
 given,—" I have set thee a light to the Gentiles, 
 and that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the 
 ends of the earth." Eighteen hundred years 
 ago these words were full of comfort and direction 
 to the great Apostle, when listening to them 
 he cried out, "Lo, we turn to the Gentiles!" 
 And the command is not yet spent. It would 
 lead and beckon us on, as we turn from nation 
 to nation among the Gentiles still, and seek the 
 lost and perishing heathen. Our work is not 
 over and done, and disobedient are we to the 
 heavenly command, if we fold our hands in 
 apathy and sit still. 
 
 I have come as a messenger from afar, to 
 
^ « 
 
 m 
 
 tell you of those over whom the providence of 
 God has placed me, and to entreat foi' them your 
 sympathy and prayers. I count it no ordinary 
 privilege to have been invited by your beloved 
 Diocesan to plead from this cathedral pulpit for 
 my land, so vast in extent of territory, yet so 
 very scantily and thinly peopled. I feel it a 
 pleasure to lift up my voice here for the scattered 
 flocks in the wilderness, for the poor Indian, 
 who (in the eloquent and striking language of a 
 native chief, then a heathen, now a brother in 
 the faith) is a poor son, yet made and stamped 
 with the same hand that made the white man, 
 and who would call to his brother the white 
 son to come on the weather side of him, of 
 the severe cold of the north, as a protection 
 and shelter to his needy brother. 
 
 What, then, shall be the answer which 1 carry 
 back ? Shall I tell the converts that you regard 
 them not as strangers and foreigners, but as 
 fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household 
 of God ; that you think of them as built on 
 the same foundation ; and that, though thousands 
 of miles separate, your hopes and theirs rest 
 for eternity on one rock? Permit me to carry 
 back such a reply, and to bear with me the 
 assurance that we shall not be unremembered 
 in your petitions. Think of our land, as stretch- 
 ing to where the sun dips in the Western Ocean ; 
 think of it as stretching northward, to where the 
 sun is hidden and veiled for months. 
 
It is for an infant Church that I plead. The 
 work as yet effected is but the work of yesterday, 
 the result of scarcely forty years. Before that, 
 no ministers, no Sabbaths, no ordinances I Now 
 we have, at the heart and centre, light ; we have 
 there the Sabbath, the Sanctuary, the Scriptures 
 reverenced and prized. We are baffled, how- 
 ever, as we look on the lonely spots, so many in 
 number, with but few souls in each, to which we 
 are wholly unable to carry the glad tidings. We 
 cry out again and again before our God, " By 
 whom shall Jacob rise, for he is small?" We 
 look to God to fulfil the promise — ** I will be to 
 them a little sanctuary ; " and we trust that the 
 day may not be far distant, when, as the northern 
 lights shoot across the sky and cover the heavens 
 with a clear zone of light, so the truth as it is in 
 Jesus may spread over the whole land, and en- 
 lighten every soul. 
 
 It is for Churches yet to be born that I plead. 
 The heights of land, the mountains with snow- 
 clad summits, separate from the regions beyond, 
 which are still micheered by the joyful sound. 
 The barriers of nature, the difficulties of lanffuaire 
 and of tribe, oppose the progress of the Gospel. 
 We are but as *' the voice crying in the wilder- 
 ness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make 
 straight in the desert a highway for our God ; " 
 but we rest on the assurance, that ** every valley 
 shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill 
 shall be made low, and the crooked shall be made 
 
 i 
 
straight, and the rough places plain, and the glory 
 of the Lord shall be revealed." Pray then that, 
 as obstacles arise in the erection of the spiritual 
 temple, wc may hear the cheering voice saying 
 to us, *• Who art thou, great mountain ? before 
 Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain." And 
 may we throw ourselves with redoubled energy 
 into the more distant work ! May more of the 
 Apostle's spirit be given us, that we may " strive 
 to preach the Gospel, not where Christ is named, 
 lest we build on another man's foundation, but 
 as it is written, To whom He was not known 
 they shall see, and they that have not heard shall 
 understand." 
 
 It is, too, for a work already largely blessed 
 that I plead. If success be taken as some en- 
 couragement to prosecute our task with renewed 
 ardour, we want not tokens of the presence and 
 Spirit of God accompanying our labour. Many 
 of the firstborn of the poor are betaking them- 
 selves to the foundation planted among them, 
 and turning to the stronghold as prisoners of 
 hope, and the work grows. The Missionary 
 Clergy were but five in number when I first went 
 out, we are now twenty ; but still this is only a 
 handful for the mighty portion of that continent 
 committed to us. We want men ; we want 
 facilities for gathering the scattered ones into a 
 point, and addressing them in their many tongues. 
 May the fruit of this day's sermon be, that some 
 prayers may be offered up for that great Highway 
 
 I 
 
28 
 
 of the West, that the poor Indian may be had in 
 remembrance before the Lord, and that, if ever I 
 be permitted to return, as a messenger from 
 those distant tribes, after other seven years of 
 happy labour, it may be to tell that Zion's foun- 
 dation is more deeply rooted in the land ; that 
 " the wilderness and the solitary place are begin- 
 ning to be glad for us ; the desert to rejoice and 
 blossom as the rose."

 From leaving England within a week of his consecra- 
 tion, the Bishop of Rupert's Land was unable at the time 
 to issue a direct appeal to the Christian public. After an 
 uninterrupted residence of seven years in his diocese, he 
 can now do so with a fuller knowledge of the country 
 and the want of its inhabitants. 
 
 The increase of clergy has more than equalled his 
 expectations. Five in number when he first set foot in 
 the land, they are now nineteen. Education has advanced 
 in the same proportion. After all, however, that has 
 been done, there remains yet much land to be possessed. 
 The territory is nearly as large as Europe, stretching 
 from Lake Superior to the Rocky Mountains and the 
 Pacific — from the parallel of latitude 49 deg. northwards 
 to the Arctic Sea. 
 
/ 
 
 .30 
 
 Two tribes only of the Indians, the Crees and tlic 
 Saulteax, have yet been approached. There are many 
 other tribes wandering over the plains to the west, many 
 to the north of the great height of land towards the 
 Mackenzie River. It is imagined that they would be as 
 accessible, if the offers were made to them, as those 
 already brought under the Gospel. 
 
 On these grounds the Bishop would venture to appeal 
 to those who have at heart the welfare of their fellow- 
 countrymen cut off from the means of grace, and of tlie 
 heathen still in darkness and the shadow of death. His 
 special objects would be : — 
 
 I. The erection of a modest and unpretending Cathe- 
 dral Church— that in which he has hitherto officiated 
 being supported by props both within and without. The 
 estimated cost would be about 4500/., both labour and 
 building material being expensive on the spot. 
 
 II. The extension of Missionary labour. If it is 
 found impossible to multiply ministers, something, it is 
 hoped, may be attempted Ly a system of colportage, 
 sending forward native agents as pioneers among their 
 countrymen. Since tho Bishop's arrival in England, two 
 very promising candidates for the ministry have offered 
 themselves to go abroad, who have been necessarily 
 declined from want of means. 
 
 III. The Promotion of Education. In addition to the 
 Collegiate School for boys, the Bishop has undertaken a 
 large responsibility in the purchase of a house for a 
 Female School, feeling that the elevation of the country 
 will, under God, depend on the training of the mothers 
 of the next generation. In the establishment of other 
 Schools much outlay is also incurred, which, from the 
 circumstances of a land where there are few to help in 
 any good work, falls in a great measure upon the Bishop 
 himself.
