testimony of scriptural character, and of such seals given to our ministry, is irresistible. * * * * * But it may be asked, have not even false apostles their disciples, and sometimes many; Theudas, four hundred; Judas of Galilee, much people? {47} They have: but not of such sinners converted into saints, as evidently prove the operation to be of GOD; not such as would glorify GOD on the racks of persecuting torture; not such as would die martyrs in the flames, if called to it; nor such as, in peaceful departures, could triumph through faith in the SON of GOD, and rejoice in the _certain_ hope of a glorious immortality. The happy and heavenly deaths of those who had lived upon the doctrines of Evangelical Protestantism are immortal and irresistible testimonies in favour of that sort of Christianity, as the truth of GOD. They constitute an evidence, which Anglo-catholics will never be able to produce. What were the latter days of Froude, their modern proto-saint, if not their proto-martyr? Where are their dying witnesses? What do they in the formation of such characters as I speak of? Here, my honoured fellow-labourers in the Church of GOD,—the questions which I would put concerning them, allow me to put pointedly to you all. What are you really doing in the work of the ministry you have received of the LORD? Are you answering the purposes for which you were called to it? What can you do, by the grace of GOD? Can you convert a sinner from the error of his way? Can you give me the heart of stone broken down and melted into the humble and contrite heart? Can you display a compassionate and crucified SAVIOUR, till men love Him fervently, and mourn for their sins which pierced Him? Can you heal a wounded spirit? Can you beautify disciples with Christian graces? Can you help the saints of GOD in their preparations for death and eternal glory, when JESUS shall come and receive them to Himself? Shall you then have any, of whom you will be humbly able to say, “Behold, I and the children whom Thou hast given me! These are my letters of commendation! These are my joy and crown of rejoicing: while all the supreme and sovereign glory, O CHRIST, is thine!” Thus let us examine and prove both ourselves and our work. And may GOD indeed make us able ministers of the New Testament; that we be not ashamed, but may rejoice before Him, at His appearing and His kingdom. * * * * * THE END. * * * * * LONDON: G. J.
