Excerpt from A Sermon, Preached in the Parish Church of St. Paul, at Halifax: On Behalf of the Incorporated Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, on the 19th February 1832, Being the Sunday Next After the Anniversary of the Society
The words before us, thus explained, will not be thought inappropriate in an address, which is designed, if God should be pleased so to bless it, to excite your affectionate gratitude for the benefits which have been conferred, as on other extensive portions of the world, so also on this Co~ lony by the labors of a venerable Society, who in their efo forts for the Propagation of the Gospel, have been anxi onely desirous to make the way of God known upon earth, and His saving health among all nations. And if this grati tude beduly excited, it will not be difficult to animate your desires to partake of their labour of liberality and love nor will your most serious consideration be refused to the peculiar calls which are made upon us at the pre sent time, to co-operate, to the full extent of our abili ty, in their holy objects whether we regard the necessi ties of the Society, or the alarming condition of the world, and especially of that portion of it, in which we are most deeply interested. And Whatsoever your hand findeth to do, do it with your might, in a matter so deeply important to the dearest interests of all around you, as well as of your selves, your children, and your children's children. Do it with all your might, as a christian duty, in humble faith and love and the blessing of the Lord our God will sure ly rest upon it.
