The circumstances, my Brethren, in which we are now met are of a peculiar kind, met as we are as the natives of a common Country, the Members of a Charitable Society, for the purpose of engaging in a religious service. As such it is peculiarly be- coming for us so to do. We are met as the natives of a Country endeared to us by many associations. It is endeared to us, as the land of our fathers,— the land of our birth,— the land of many of our friends, and of the companions of our earlier years. As the Englishman delights to look back to the rich fields of merry England, so Scotland is endeared to us by the recoUec- tion of those scenes with which our boyhood, and the riper age of some among us were familiar, its lofty mountains, its highland lakes and glens, its green hills, its pleasant vales and silvery streams, each linked with many a tale of former days. It is endeared to us,as ilie land of freedom, and now reposing under a political constitution the wisest and the best which the world ever saw. It is endeared to us, as « land, where the benelit^ of education, here yet but very partially known, are universally diffused, — of a system of Education, the glory and the blessing of oi'r Country, which has producinl many illustrious niunes, Iti- mili'ir OS household words in the diflerent walks of learning, and to which as a means thousands of Scotia's Sons have owed Ihei" -idvancement, and success in distant climes, — an education which is yet rapidly rising to yet higher attainments, in every '\ 3lQ1^13 defence.

I of the people of Israel, and recounting to them the benefits which the Lord had conferred on them, thus exhorted them, " Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve him in sincerity and in truth." Surely to us is peculiarly applicable the exhortation of the Apostle in our Text, « And besides this " (or rather, for such is the meaning of the expression), " on this very account, giv- ing all diligence, add to your faith virtue, and to virtue know- ledge, and to knowledge temperance, and to temperance pa- tience, and to patience godliness, and to godliness brotherly kindn<-'ss, and to brotherly kindness charity." The Apostle, after, in the preceding verses of this Epistle, praying for grace and peace from God to his Christian brethren, first directs their minds to the grace of God, by His Holy Spirit, as the only eliectual source of their conversion, impressing as it did on their hearts and minds the knowledge of Christ, and the precious promises of His Gospel, and causing them to fulfil the end which these were intended, as well as fitted to accomplish, — that is, that they might be delivered from sin, and made parta- kers of the divine nature ; and then he takes occasion, in the words before us, to exhort those to whom he wrote, in the use of every means in the pursuit of the same end, to work out their own salvation with fear, and trembling, because it is God who hath wrought, and still worketh in them to will, and to do, and giving all diligence, to make their calling and election sure. — Even so, since God thus calls us by his grace, and has bestowed on us so many inestimable blessings, in that land which we still delight to call by the endearing name of Home, we ought, all the more, to give all diligence to add to our faith every Christian grace. Let us then consider, in thejirst place, the several practical duties to which we are here called ; and next, the manner in which they ought to be performed, "Giving all diligence." Christian faith is not a dead and inoperative, but a living and active principle. Though we are saved by faith a/one, we are not saved by a faith which is alone, " For in Christ Jesus nei- ther circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision,butyci- . a"dS ""'■ "■»' ""Oh need .o'CAIZT" ''* -"^ " "S' A„7 »»•' "- ».»« may wear the f"™ of ^'.1 '"""' "''« '•"junc;i„„'^?''

The importance of a right understanding of the objects of faith can scarcely be too highly estimated. If we know not the glorious nature, and works, and ways of God, how can we possibly think of Him, and feel towards Him, and serve Him as we ought ? If we have only vague, or mistaken notions of the way of salvation which His Word proclaims, how can we expect, that we should expe- rience its saving and sanctifying power? How, without knowledge, can we be said to believe at all, in the proper sense of that term ? We must, first, understand the meaning of what we affirm that we believe ; otherwise, although still termed by us belief, it is not the belief of the truth as it is in Jesus. Let us seek, not only, to have the knowledge of these things, but to grow in the knowledge of them. For while the declarations of the Gospel are, in their main features, simple, and level to the apprehension of the meanest capacity, and such that he who runs may read, they are at the same time sublime, in their im- port, beyond the most exalted conceptions of the highest intelli- gence. 3. Another grace specified l)y the Apostle, as requisite to be added to our faith.is temperance. By this.is not meant a refraining from excess merely of one particular kind, but of all kinds what, ever. The temperance of Cliristianity implies in it moderation maZ/thmgs, even those which are lawful, and innocent in them. solves. This is evident from the meaning of the original word, which is mastfry,~the mastery over the world, the devil and ther flesh,— the greatest of all conquests, which none but the true disciple of Christ can attain. The want of a proper rule over our spirits, and carrying beyond their due bounds passions, and inclinations right and becomhig in themselves, is the source of many of the sins of men. Thus a proper industry, and economy are degraded into covetousness, the lawful desire for pleasure is debased into sensualism, the love of knowledge gives place to an msatiable craving after an unprofitable, and falsely called learning, patrotism degenerates into a vain ambition, and thirst utter a merely popular applause, the natural appetites, which 8 ^ "'KUMOX. prompt us to provide To. ♦u affections thelr'"^'- '" ^'^^ niode,;!"^ ^ '"' *^ ^^^^^ ^^ fo endure what^vo!

How manifold are the benefits which He has conferr3d, and is still conferring on us ! And O forbid, that, sinful and undeserving as we are, we should complain under any affliction, which he may see meet to mingle in our cup, and even which also, if we be duly exercised thereby, He sends in mercy. Let it rather be our earnest desire, and endeavor, to profit by all His dispensations, that they may be accompanied by the teaching of His Word and Spirit, may be the means of producmg in us more realizing impressions of divine and eternal things, more humbling views of ourselves, a closer cleaving to Christ, and a more watchful, and prayerful obedience for thj time to come. 5. But, having urged upon us a proper control over our pas- sions and inclinations, and a patient resignation to all the dis- pensations of the providence of God, we are farther enjoined to add to patience ^^ godliness;" that is, a regard to God in all the thoughts and T lings of our souls, and all the actions of our lives,_-that love and fear of Him, and delight in Him, which will eftectually dispose us to the performance of every duty, and which are the fulfilling of the law. So important is this grace of piety, to which we are here called, that it in fact involves in it the whole of true religion. Timothy, therefore, is exhorted by St. Paul to » exercise himself unto godliness,'''' and it is decla- red, that " godliness is profitable unto all things, having the promise both of the life that now is, and of that which is to come." By it, we are taught, at once to take, as our guide in all our ways, His holy, and just, and good Law,— the perfect, and unchangeable standard of rectitude ; and, at the same time, to keep all His commandments from a regard to Him, as our only Creator, our only Preserver, and Benefactor, our only Lawgiver and Judge, our only Redeemer, and our only Happi- ness. No sentiments, or dispositions, or actions can be pro- perly called ^oo(Z, when not prompted mainly by a regard to God. Man alone, of all His creation hero below, has been formed with the capacity of knowing, and loving, and intelli- gently serving Him. This is our highest privilege and distinc- tion, as it must be the highest privilege and distinction of any created being. God has paramount claims on our reverence, gratitude, ol)edience, trust, and devout admiration, and affection ; — claims, to which the claims of all others are as nothing in comparison, and he who is not actuated by a supreme •t- 10 '^ SKR3Io^^.

Surely, then, wc have every reason, among those things which are to be added to our faith, to add " brotherly kindness." 7. Once more, we are to add to affection, and kindness to our brethren in Christ, love to all our fellow-men, " and to brother- ly kindness, charili/." The word translated " charily " here, us in 1st Cor. 13th ch. and in other passages of Scri])ture, means, a.s is well known, " loV(s" and ought to have been so translated for the purpose of greater perspicuity, and in order to guard against mistakes. It is not, therefore, to be taken in the ordinary sense of the term in connnon language, as api)lied merely to acts of beneficence to the needy. This is but one, and though an imjwrtant one, by no means the highest ex<>rcise of the divine principle of Christian h)vu to men. Upon its va- ri(»us altractive features, so beautitidly set before us by the in- spired Apostle of the (ientiles, in tlu^ chapter of the Kpistio just referred ttt, we cajinot now dwell. Suffice it to say, Christian charity, or love, extends itself to all, even to enemies. Heaven descended, she eyes at one glance tlic; whole lu-eadth of the earth, and looks with the same benign counte- nance upon all its unniunbered millions, asalike children (.f the same Almighty and merciful Father. And the measure of this love v.hieh we are to cherish, and to display towards man, as man, is that love which we an; reciuired by the strongest mo- tives t«» bear tt)wards ..urselves. " 'J'hou shalt love thy neigh- bor as thii^rlfr This is a high standard, it is true, for our Christian charity, but it is the standard at the attainment of which we are to' aim, and we may remark, that it is one which we can distinctly and easily understand, and apply ; while, at the same time, it com|)leteIy refutes the charge which hasi sometimes been brought against love to ourselves, by those who have con- founded love to ourselves with seltishness. J.nying out of view at pres<'nt the other, and important evercises of this, the grand^ social principle of the (.'ospel, it is pusy to see the bearing of V2 A SERMON. Christian love on the many, and various necessities of our fel- low-men. We are taught by it, or rather by Him by whom it was first proclaimed, that man is every where the neighbour of man. We are taught by it to take a deep interest in every phil- anthropic enterprizo for the benefit ofourlellow countrymen, whether from Great Britain, or the Sister Isle, scattered over this land, or of any of our brethren of mankind, and to help it forward, in so flir as it may be in our power; to give our mite for the alleviation of famine, or sudden and overwhelming ca- lamities, or the disasters of wide-sj)reading disease, whether in our own, or in neighboring lands ; but above all, in our own more immediate sphere, to do good both to the souls and to the bodies of our fellow men — by precept and example, by our alms,and by our prayers; — to pluck those that are ready to perish, as brands from the burning, to visit the sick in their alKiction, to pour into the wounded spirit the healing balm of christian consolation, and to minister to the wants of the poor and needy. Your destitute fellow comitrymen, my Brethren, M'hom you have aided in this distant land, far from the home of their sires, cannot recompense you, but every such act, pcvtormed in the spirit ol christian love, meets with the approval ofyoin* heavenly Father, and will receive the recompense of reward at His hands. " He that hath pity on the poor h'udeth unto the Lord, and that which he hath given will He pay him again." ! \ Secouilh/, and in couclusion, my Brethren, it only remains, brieflyto consider the manner in which we are tofullll the precept here given, ^^(iiv'tn^ alhlillgrnrv,'" add to your faith virtue, and all other christian graces.The atlainnuMilofthe^ejalong with faith itself, forms an aim which ought to be common to all, and in the prosecution of which, everyone ought to be sedulously engagi^d with all diligence, as his chief i)usiness and concern. In sub- ordination to the principal business of lile, other objects may bo lawlully pursued, and many ar<' the aims towards which we sever- ally direct our labors, and which we are bound to lollow. But tliis i« the ol»j<'ct that ought to engage our main endeavours, which wo ought to i"cgard as most excellent, and to seek aller as our best portion, and which alone brings with it real, and permanent happiness. Then shall we " lay up Ibr ourselvt's treasures in A SEKMON. 13 heaven, where neither moth nor rust corrupt, nor thieves break through and steal." Here the honours and pleasures of time wither in our grasp, our garments are motheaten, and riches take unto themselves wings and fly away, but the treas- ures, and happiness ol' heaven are unfading and eternal. And yet are any among us, uninterruptedly, and with scarcely any other thought or employment, busied with merely worldly avocations, and never seriously, and zealously labouring after that bread which nourishcth the soul unto everlasting life / Surely, my friends, we do not imagine, that heaven is to be gained by a few short steps, and that while the most toilsome and unwearied ef- forts are put forth for worldly wealth, or worldly honours, the eternal dignity, and felicity of the saints in light are so little esteemed as not to require to be diligently, and steadfastly pur- sued, the exercise of our constant endeavors, and the use of ev- ery means placed within our power. To the most pious Chris- tians even, what a wide Held of advancement and high im- provement here lies before them ! so that the holy Apostle coun- ted not himself to have attained, either to be already perfect, but this one thing he did, " ibrgetting those things which were be- hind, and reaching forth unto those things which were before, he pressed towards the mark lor the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." Let as many, thereture, as be perfect, be thus minded, still pressing towards the mark, and giving all diligence to make their calling and tdection sure. We know not, my Brethren, upon what sudden, or unforeseen occasions we may be stretched on beds of languishing, or of death, — how soon we may bo taken out of this busy world, and laid in the silent tomb. There the eye is tor ever closed upon the scenes and lessons of time ; the ear is for ever shut to the invitationo of redeeming mercy here held out to all ; the hand is powerless that may now l)e stretched l()rlh in deeds of piety and benelicence, and no sound of penitence, gratitude, or entreaty, thence ascends fmin earth to heaven. Let us walk therefore, while wo have the light, lest darkness come upon us. •* Whatso- ever your hands find to do, that do with all ycnir might. While (lod is thus gracious, and worketh in you to will, and to do, be ye fellow workers with Him, and work otit your own sidvation with fear and tn^nbling, in the diligent use of every appointed means, and the practice of all the duties of the Christian life. 14 A SKKMOX.
