Sinopsis

Excerpt from Two Discourses Preached in the Church of the Advent, Boston, on Sunday, October 19, 1851

But there is one sympathy which unites all in one, binds man to the creation, and the creation to man, man to his fellow-man, and to the angels of God; which softens the prejudices of race, dissolves the tyranny of caste, beats down the pride of birth and wealth, - the sympathy of the Church of God! Here, all are fellow-sinners redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, born anew by baptism, placed in the world in a new relation to God, to eternity, and to each other, and sent to do Christ's work, to help Christ's little ones, to enlarge Christ's fold, to rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. This is that holy love, of which a great Saint* thus nobly writes Love runneth, rejoiceth, and cannot be held in. Love giveth all for all, feeleth no bur den, thinks nothing of trouble, attempts what is beyond its reach, complains not of impossibility. Love undertakes and completes many things, where he 'who does not love, faints and lies down. Love is ever watchful, and, sleeping, slumbereth not. Weary', it is not tired; pressed, it is not straitened; alarmed, it is not confounded; but, like a lively flame and burn ing torch, forces its way upwards, and securely passes through all. Love is a loud cry in the ears of God. My God, thou art all mine, and I am all thine.
