Sermon.
B, IlLv H D. Steele, Ineunibent of
St. • Paul's Church, Kirkton, 'Ont.
preached on oceasion of the Queen's
Birthday, May 24th, 1891.
Prov: XXIV. 21. "My son, for thou the
Lord and the 'King, and meddle not with
them that are.given to change."
We may begat by saying that we have a
Bible warrant for the proneiples of Conserv-
atism. Radio:silent, its counterpart, is op-
posed to Holy Scripture. It means "tearing
up things by the roots", --from the Latin
word radix, a root; and were this spirit of
radicalism confined only to whee is evils it
would be onost commendable in the sight
both of God and man.
All great reformers, such as josiah, and
Rehm ia.h,.and John the Baptist, or social
evilsenvarm bly "took the bull by theherns"
ancl spared. not to unmask and lay be the
chambers of imagery. But im so doing th ey
never once thought of rooting etp the old
foundations either of Church or of State.
John the Baptist laid, the itaQ at the root of
the tree ofunrighteousnees and hollow in-
sincerity for vrhich the Pharisees were (us.-
tinguishea. So our Lord Himself came with
His fan in hand to thoroughly purge the,
floor of the Church and to gather the wheat
into 11 1' garner. Bat neither our Lord nor
his forerunn er ever attempted to overturn
the foundation of things.
A.ncl when in the progress of event Popery
laid its deadly hand 'tippet the Church, our
British reformers rose en their might anil
struck at the root of the deadly Upas tree
that heel entwin ed itself around the goodly
oak tree plan Md by Apostolics hands, and
which was crushing out the very lifeblood of
the church.
We are to distinguish, however, between
reforming abuses and what needed to be re-
formed ,-and. rooting up the old foundations
of what has been established by Heaven's
decree Hart this necessary distinctioit been
observed, we should not have been willed
today to witness the sod snectacle of some
three hundred different sections of Christen-
dom in the world; on the contrary, it would
;lave been oar happy privilege to 011ie:7 a
milleninm of unity 8,nd peace with. our
brethern, in which the seven marks of Chris-
tian unity laid. down. by St. Paul would have
been the present order of things, viz: "One
body, awl one spirit; one hope of our heaven-
ly welling; one Lord, one faith, one Baptism;
one God and father °fall"! _
The present sad spectacle of disuniey
among the professed followers of Jesus is
the result of a spirit of raclicalism, as to re-
ligion, and of ft want of that safe and stable
element of Conservatism taught us in the
Bible, which enjoins upon us to "hold fast
that which is good," and in which we are
counselled to "fear the Lord and the Ring,
and not to meddle with them that are given
to change".
Loyalty to the Throne ancl loyalty to the
Alter are tho necessary compliments of each
other. Godliness and patriotism, like two
brethren dwelling together in unity, may
occupy the same heart. There is room for
both. 'mind, if a man be truly loyal to
God, he will also be loyal to the King; for
"the powers that, be are ordained of reed",
they are His ministers to execute judge-
ment, to bo "a terror to evil doers. thepraise
and protection of mph as do well."
Hence St. Paul enjoined upon all chris Hans
obedience to civil rulors,msen though at that
time they were heathen rulers; and a greater
than St. Paul exhorted His followers to "ren-
der unto Ceisar the things that be Crest:es,
and unto God the things that be God's.
It is one of the glories of our Church that
we "pray for kings and all that are in au-
th °ray "-to r pa rliereents a nd magistrates
and all'mon in public stations of trust, that
they natty be "moaned with righteousn ese,"
and that, God ratty give then:grace to eve -
ante juetico and to Maintain truth."
Speaking to the sentiment of my tee t, as
announeed by Ring Solomon. the fear of the
Lola lona reverence for earthly monarchs go
hand iro hand. Sulenissioe of heart to the
Groat Ruler implies obedience to earthly
rulers. If it Man be a truaehristittn, he will
make all the better citizen. The heert that
is filled with piety towards God will be so
large as talus's° plenty of room for' patriot -
'ism. Imyelty to the th ro tie is not merely a
negative vietue-it is a positive eommand
