In the second division of the sermon before us, the occasions and modes of fulfilling the new commandment of our Lord are exhibited. If all that Mr. S. has remarked upon are not strictly modifications of that mutual complacency in which he appears to think Christian love consists, each is of such vast importance that it could be but ill spared. This commandment, we are told, will be obeyed by affording _each other mutual_ (redundant) countenance, in supporting the public means of grace; by embracing opportunities for social devotion and spiritual intercourse; by _mutual_ submission _to one another_, especially in cases where a difference of opinion exists; by treating offenders properly; by mutually sympathizing, interchanging kindly offices, and watching over one another in the spirit of meekness; and by a hearty co-operation with fellow-christians in whatever tends to promote the prosperity of the church, and the general interests of Christianity in the world. These topics are respectively remarked upon with considerable propriety; as are also the motives enforcing this new commandment. These are, Christ's love to us; our mutual love will afford one of the best evidences of personal piety; it will make known our character to the world; and it will exist for ever. We a little regret that Mr. S. has fallen into the common error of supposing faith and hope excluded from heaven. "Faith and hope," he says, "will expire; but love never dies." We need not say that Scripture furnishes no ground for such a representation; neither is such ground involved in the nature of faith and hope, or in the views the Bible opens to us of heaven. Under some of their present modifications faith and hope will indeed be unknown there; but as much may be said of love. Do not the spirits of the just made perfect now anticipate, with faith and hope, "the adoption; to wit, the redemption of the body?" And will not the glorified assembly around the throne of God be always anticipating large accessions to their knowledge, holiness, and joy? On the whole, however, notwithstanding these free remarks, we cordially recommend this sermon to our readers; and shall be glad, at any time, to meet with the author in a department of Christian instruction for which his habits and experience have so well qualified him.
