“I cannot preach to you--I cannot out of my own conscience recommend to you one or the other form of faith as the way to peace and wisdom;--but I can and do Beseech you to remember the Note Dominant of this great Universe--the Note that sounds through high and low,--through small and great alike!--and that must and will in due course absorb all our discords into Everlasting Harmony! Try not to put this fact out of your lives,--that Justice and Order are the rule of the spheres; and that whenever we depart from these, even in the smallest contingency, confusion reigns. How hard it is to believe in Justice and Order, you will tell me,--when the poor are not treated with the same consideration as the rich,--and when money will buy place and position! True! It is hard to believe,--but it is believable nevertheless. As the lungs and the heart are the life of the human body, so are Justice and Order the life of the Universe,--and when these are pushed out of place, or become diseased in the composition of a human state or community, then the life of that state or community is threatened;--and unless remedies are quickly to hand, it must end. You all know the position of things among yourselves to-day;--you all know that there is no trust to be placed in Churches, Kings or Parliaments;--that the world is in a state of ferment and unrest,--moving towards Change;--change imminent--change, possibly, disastrous! And if it is You who know, it is likewise You who must seize the hour as it approaches!--seize it as you would seize a robber by the throat, and demand its business;--search its heart;--deprive it of its weapons;--and learn from it its message! A message it may be of wild alarm--of tearing up old conventions;--of thrusting forth old abuses; a message full of clamour and outcry--but whatever the uproar, doubt not that we shall hear the voice of the Forgotten God thundering in our ears at the close! We shall have found our way closer to Him--and with penitence and prayer, we shall ask to be forgiven for having wandered away from Him so long!
