Sinopsis
Excerpt from Providence in Reference to Nations: A Lecture Delivered Before the Halifax Young Men's Christian Association, April 6th, 1858
But Providence in the Opinion of many has reference exclu sively to individuals. Corporate bodies are proverbially skep tical. Christian men in companies have oft consented to run steamers and railway trains on the Lord's day, and yet never dreamed of opening their own shops or offices; and good men are silent when those who in 'high places are acting for them and others, are leading the nation in a course of hostility to the law of God. Responsibility is forgotten or thought to be dissipated among the million like the electric fluid, when it strikes earth or ocean and diffuses itself in ten thousand dirceo tions. Such silence is wrong. Responsibility remains. It is indeed diffused over all, and the righteous Lord will treat cor porate bodies as well as individuals, according to their deeds. If the nation exists by divine appointment and if the legitimate functions of government are ordained of God, then surely it is amenable to divine law. If Christian men forming an insu rance company or a railway company are bound in their cor porate capacity to act rightly, so are they who constitute a. Commonwealth, whether civic, provincial or national; and when we open the Bible we find in fact that nations as such are ad dressed, commanded, encouraged and threatened.

Excerpt from Providence in Reference to Nations: A Lecture Delivered Before the Halifax Young Men's Christian Association, April 6th, 1858
In glancing at historic illustrations the first place is evidently due to the inspired history of the chosen people. I refer to the government of the theocracy however not as furnishing a perfect parallel to the divine moral government as new exer cised to the nations of the earth. The retributive principle I think was more prompt and prominent. I turn to it not as furnishing a perfect parallel, but because the hand of the Lord is there so visible. The cover is removed from the mechan ism, and we can see the machinery in motion, and observe wheels within wheels, and minute movements tending to re mote results. In a glass hive you can see the movements of the bees, so in the Bible you can trace, the loss of battles, the siege and fall of cities and national reverses and calamities to their true sources.
