JOHN DOWLING, D.D. are convened here this evening for the purpose of in enth Anniversary of the American and Foreign Christia 7, the special object of whose labors is the enlightenm on of the people in our own land, and in all foreign lan amidst the bondage and the gloom of Papal darkness and the operations of this Society I have been familiar from so with the history and labors of the three kindred soci of which it was formed under its present designation in 184 nerican Protestant Society, the Foreign Evangelical Soci an Alliance. lieve this Society to be truly evangelical in its labors c and kind in its character, and eminently entitled to t is a CHRISTIAN UNION of evangelical Protestant Christia panded together for the purpose, by means of Missions, ess, Sabbath-schools, and other appropriate agencies, "to e the principles of religious liberty, and a pure and evang both at home and abroad, wherever a corrupted Christian hful, devoted and godly missionaries and colporteurs, ma ed Romanists themselves, going forth with the love o earts, the book of Christ in their hands, and the Gospel ps, can each adopt the language of the apostle Paul-" s, I am ready to preach the Gospel to you that are at m not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ; for it is the po lvation to every one that believeth." Rom. xv. 16. Yes of Paul in a somewhat wider application, we are ready, a ch the Gospel "to you that are at Rome also," whether pode, dwellers in Rome itself, or in the classic land of whi norable saying of the Lord Jesus Christ-"My kingdom is and tell them that that kingdom is a spiritual kingdom, l kingdom, such as that which is ruled over by the Pope. farther than that; and when some Romish Cardinal might shop Hughes told the people of New York a few years a it the Pope is an earthly sovereign, and that all Catholics ev subjects, but also, that "there is no sovereign on earth counts s as he;" the great apostle might even dare to tell "his er so, then the Pope is no true bishop, and that his so called " Dostacy from the faith and no true church; and that Christ your Master, even Christ, and all ye are brethren." , although we believe that if Paul, himself, were to arise ad preach his old doctrine in the nineteenth century in Rom 【, or Cardinal Antonelli would kick him out of the city, as t y treated some of Paul's friends and followers who preached t yet we maintain, and hold ourselves prepared to prove the line doctrine, that Christ's kingdom is not of this world, and c organization over which the Pope reigns and rules, is no c and has nothing in common with the spiritual kingdom of because it is one of the temporal kingdoms of this world. T Christ differs, in toto, from earthly kingdoms. That is a s m. These are temporal and carnal. The former is a heavenl and shall never be destroyed. The latter are mere earthly kir ll all soon pass away. These kingdoms differ in many essent nt respects. the motives and designs of their founders. The founder of one esus Christ. He was prompted simply by pure and disinterested pity for a lost and guilty race, the joy of saving souls. "For as set before Him, He endured the Cross, despising the shame, n at the right hand of the throne of God." The founders of ms are generally actuated-and to this the founders of the m are no exception-by personal ambition, or avarice, or p power and dominion. |
