 npicuouH, instances, we have seen, time and ttnie aniin, tlie workiiiK of 
 tbii »amc spirit of rampant uiUeinpered mm ialisn», and are made to feci 
 how helpless the Chureh is to aUay the storni.Jo the ralMnj* of wlii« h she 
 has too much eontrduited. One nielan«h«)ly feature «if.lhe i»revailinn 
 gotllessness of our time is the/(re(|iien<y of sniride. li is sanl that even 
 in our quiet, and eomparatively moral, City of Toronto, there have Iteen _ 
 six suicides within the last numth. If this lie unhappily true, it indicate* 
 tt eondilioo of irreligious k«m1Icss despair prevadinn our coinmunily, 
 which leads those who are sorely tried hy adversity, or l»y the wicketl- . 
 ness of others, to seek relief froiii their troubles, not in Cod's love, Init in 
 what they wrongly suppose to l)eoltlivion and annihiliUion. 
 
 For all the evils of our soi lal comlition the true reine<ly is not des. 
 pair, hut faith, faith which endures, as seeing Kim, Who is invisihle 
 ' nort-, but Who upholds all things, guides all tilings, hy the word of His 
 power, Who came to take away sin hy die sat rifi«e of Himself, and 
 Wlio ihall yet come t^) take vengcnce on them that oliey not iWul, and to 
 I w glorified in His Saints and a»hnired in tliem that lielieve. Hut U'fore 
 that time the world must lie turned upside down, and many cuslonw 
 which have corrupted the world must lie changed Ity the power of Cod. 
 And Cod fulfils Himself in many ways, and it rests altogether with men 
 themselves whether this radical change from prevailing wrong to triuii*- 
 phant right shall lie effectetl amid the luriil fires of sanguinary revolutioit, 
 or I ly the gentle mnueiices of the Spirit of Cod. To this end let us 
 lal)our, for labour is prayer, and wliilc wc lalxnir let us in our Uves as 
 wdl as with our lips pray in the words of last Sunday's collect tliat the 
 eourse of this world may be so pauxably ordered by Cod's govemancCi 
 that His Church may joyfully serve Him in all godly (piietness. . . 
 
 It is too umch, however to expert that all will be simioth watier and - 
 calm progress for the Ark of Christ's Church. It will not In: until all or 
 nearly all the baptised mendters of Christ are steadfast in faith, joyful 
 through hope, and rooted in charity, that the CMuirch which they make / 
 up will safely pass the waves of this troublesome world. Christ cam^ 
 not to send peace on earth, but a sword, add the progress of His religiyii 
 has all along l>een marked by strife.and even bloodshed. And nO wonder, 
 for the world has to l)e sulnlued to the olnjdience of Christ, and ^brld- 
 liness fights long, and dies hard. It would iiot matter s<i mucly il the 
 struggle were entirely with outside enemies ; but in every century widm 
 every country, worldliness within the Church has Iwen the grc^t trouble, 
 V and Christ's worst foes have lieen those of His own household. - And so 
 it has come to pass that from ti mi; to time the religion of Jesus has 
 found itself involved in the jealousies and ambitions pf worldly men, 
 and hits l)een used by them as n pretext for furthering their unworthy 
 designs And so, 1 fear, it will continue to be untd men have really 
 ; learned that the Most High ruleth in the kingdopis of men, and that 
 righteousness exalteth a nation. ,■ „'

 ofrdigio.iandworldhi.fss. From the very l)egi.ininj? alirtost there has 
 •iwen more or less of a contest «oir>g on between the ambition oUhe 
 Homan I oivtiff, and t he stirrdy spiri t of national independenoc. If you 
 look closely into the motives a;id origin of thp strifes that have disturb- 
 ed the peare of^he world fo,-the last thousand years, you will find most 
 of thehi resolving themselves into this one (luestion of the Papal Supreni. 
 acy. It IS not my purpose now to weary you with any argument on this 
 subject but simply to say that I consider tKe claim •nlenable on any 
 grouncr, either of Sor.ptnre, or, of true church tradition, or of universal 
 consent, or of expediency, or of common sense practicability. Our per- 
 ^ sonal iirteiest in it is hot^ so very great at present, but still it demands 
 consideration and watchfuhiess, and we cannot be too careful to guard 
 agaiij^it the similer and .yore insidious advances and aggressions wiUi 
 which we are fflmiliar. 1 he great difficulty i$ that the Roman Church

 ^^iymnin^ been members-of the one whole family in heaven and earth, ' 
 and heref<,re it cannot but l,e a cause of additional sorrow that the latter 
 should, by her own a.t, have broken the bond of love, a-ul suspended 
 the cuminunion which should exist between sister churches

 to resist the coming danger ofsubjection to Rome. The seven Bishopv '

 (Ufli ult to allay religious or [lolitiial aniimisities. Airl it is possible that 
 we liave not yet seen the last of su;h atro ;ities, for the advance, of inat-

 will remeinlier that the foremost, ami bravest of the defenders of I )erry 
 was a clergymaiv ot the Chur 'li, Nvhw <lid not then g.ve up his military 
 service, but, perhaps with ill-judging zeal, was present, and died a year 
 ahcr at the Battle of tlie IJoyne. 1 woatd have you to observe that the 
 Church of England is, and always has been, tiuinOst active prOii'ioter of 
 true l)oUlicid liberty, and the inost effectual bulwark against omnession 
 from any ijuarter. P would like this to be always renuimberetl iiy the 
 Sons of the Church when they hear her foand fault with, and by those 
 ^ outside of the ('hurch when they are tempied to blamj lier; With all 
 her defects, she is the best rallying point for the for es of truth and free- 
 dom, and in her strength is the security of the whole empire from aggre.s»r 
 sion and conquest. 
 
 We welcome you here this afternoon, not as strangers but as friends 
 - and allies. We are grateful for any institution whose object it is to ihain- 
 taui the staUility of the IJritish iMupire, and the permanence ol our con- 
 nection therewith. If Orangeisin is anything, it is loyal to the Crown, , 
 and in- Canada this means as nuich as it does in Irclandi lu,jK)th coun- 
 tries there are those who ^voiiUl sever this coiuie:tion if they could— nay, 
 ■ I believe there have been times ^ay forty five years liack, in onr history, 
 when even some Orangemen themselves were disloyal /but they were the 
 ejcception, and not the rule, and tiie circumstances in 1849 were very ag- 
 gravating. Hut that is all liaiipiU loiiii past, and in the Orangemen of
