Excerpt from The Origin, the General Character, and the Present Situation of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America: A Sermon

Psalm cxxii. 7.

Peace be within thy walls and plenteousness within thy palaces.

The prayer of the devout Israelite, for that holy city where God manifested his glory and dispensed his blessing in the institutions and ordinances of the law established by his servant Moses, should be the more ardent prayer of the Christian for that New Jerusalem, that city of the living God, where he manifests his glory and dispenses his grace in his Son Jesus Christ.

"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem; they shall prosper that love thee. Peace be within thy walls and plenteousness within thy palaces. For my brethren and companions sake I will now say, Peace be within thee. Because of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek thy good."

The sentiment, contained in this prayer, should more deeply interest us, my brethren, on occasions when the promotion of the peace and the prosperity of our Zion is the object of the counsels of her highest ecclesiastical assembly.
