The Christian feeling was furiously for one and furiously against the other: these two things that looked so much alike were at opposite ends of heaven and hell. One man flung away his life; he was so good that his dry bones could heal cities in pestilence. Another man flung away life; he was so bad that his bones would pollute his brethren's.
Of that Society one of the founders was Rowland Hill. He was well informed about the labours of the Moravians; he corresponded with Peter Braun, the Moravian missionary in Antigua; and to that correspondence he owed in part his interest in missionary work. But that was not the end of the Brethren's influence.
Now scarcely a day escaped without the brethren's having some intercourse with the Esquimaux, though this was attended with much difficulty, and many a sleepless night, as, in passing and repassing to their encampment, they often had nothing but the canopy of heaven to cover them from the wind and the rain.
"Aye," said the corporal, "this is proof enough that you are no Papists; if you were, this book would not have lain here." Another cause of opposition was the Brethren's quiet mode of work. They persistently refused, he declared, to reveal their real opinions. They crept into houses and led captive silly women.
As long as our leaders are guided by the Spirit of Christ, all will be well; but when craft and cunning, and worldly prudence creep in, then woe to the Brethren's Church! Let us rather be careful whom we admit to the ministry, and then the Lord will preserve us from destruction."
As man, I share My brethren's lot, and am content to live as they live. II. The second assault and repulse, on the temple. We need not touch on the questions as to whether our Lord's body was really transported to the temple, and, if so, to what part of it.
Here is one measure of it howsoever long drawn out my sin may be, this is longer; and the white line of His love runs out into infinity, far beyond the point where the black line of my sin stops. Anything short of eternal patience would have been long ago exhausted by your sins and mine, and our brethren's.
Now, to-day these dissembling creatures, distrusting my word as they would their own brethren's, stoutly refused to proceed until their business was completed, suspecting I should break my word on returning, and would not then wait for them. They had come all this way especially for their own benefit, and now meant to profit by their trouble.
Winter arrangements. Childrens' meetings schools. The brethren's settlements contrasted with the heathen. Progress of religion at the different stations. Number of the settled Esquimaux. Epidemic at Nain its consequences. General view of the mission.
He cicerones delighted parties of lady-friends with his face all one smile of courtesy, or he does the honours with dignity and a lofty sense of we do not speak disrespectfully of being on his own dunghill, in respect to the more important exigeant connoisseurs, whom he thinks it right to patronise. He always praises his brethren's works, and discovers in them hidden virtues.
