far as they are pure, holy, merciful, upright, manly—in a word, so far as they are Christian. To Him, therefore, let them be ascribed in the presence of the whole world, and from them, as from a moral mirror, let there be reflected, not our national, but his everlasting “Glory.” Inseparably connected with the glory of God, which has in a measure been worked out, as we maintain, by the events to which we refer, is the “good of his Church”—a result we ever pray may attend all our political consultations and movements. Who can doubt that the spectacle presented to the Indian mind in all our transactions of war—our wisdom, our mercy, our justice—is doing its silent work in many a thoughtful bosom, and adding some new soul to the Church of Christ even whilst we are speaking? Many and many a man, depend upon it, has been made to think for himself, in these troublous times, of the real value and working of his ancestral creed. He has often, may be, had doubts as to the superstitions of his nation, and the doctrines of his overseers. He has for years, perhaps, held in secret and deep admiration the aspirations and longings of his natural conscience, and felt that they ran counter to the senseless commandments and idle traditions of the world with which he and his race have been overburdened. He has longed for a creed which should not suppress and smother, but fan into a living flame of sterling piety, those smouldering elements of natural religion which he has treasured amidst the follies of heathenism on the hearth of a not yet abandoned conscience. His wish is gratified. He has at length found, or rather, we should say, seen at work, such a creed—seen it in the warrior of the Cross, seen it in one who can fight and yet be merciful, who can have within his power a cruel relentless enemy, yet find room for compassion; who can show at all times and in all places that he has a heart which beats true to the instincts of our nature, when not lost and sensualized. He has rejoiced with exceeding great joy to have fallen in with a religion which is far from contradicting conscience or nature, but which, contrariwise, advocates and enforces “whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report;” things which even in his childhood’s superstitions and the ignorance of his more advanced years have never altogether forsaken him. He has pondered over these things in his heart, and contrasting the plain, true, useful life of the Cross, with the wicked follies and fancies of the Crescent, has yielded himself up to the former, and added himself to the Church of Christ. May it have been so in many, many instances!
