s for weak brethren, or his value
for more steadfast fellow-members of Christ, influencing him to avoid
the responsibility of advising them to quit the home of their fathers,
the faithful churchman will be under no alarm whatever, respecting the
stability of the branch planted by his mother-church in Australia. Nor
yet will he grudge all other denominations (unless they be blasphemous
or immoral,) the most complete toleration. Nay, were it not for the
mischief that would arise to Christianity and to the souls of men, they
might be welcome to all the support and patronage of the State; and if
they obtain it all, even then we fear them not; indeed it is our duty
to pity them, to love them, to pray for them as brethren. Whatever
may be the fate either of Australia or England, the lot of Christ's
Church--that visible Church of His which was founded upon the first
preaching of Peter both to the Jews and to the Gentiles--is fixed and
determined:--it is firmly built upon a rock, and "the gates of hell
shall not prevail against it."
