Synopsis
Excerpt from Two Discourses
The face of society is continually assuming new forms. Old things are passing away. Empires are falling, and giv ing place to new political combinations, which, in turn, flour ish for a season, and then give place to others of a different character. States are changing. Laws and ordinances are changing. Legislators are urging on the bold experiment to discover the best system of human government, that shall combine the greatest amount of human liberty consistent with due subordination to law, and the prompt execution of justice. The possession of wealth, of power, of popular influence, is as unstable as water. The men of three score and less may look back upon great and surprising reversion in the circumstances of families, involving disappointment and distress. Changes, moreover, pertain to the externals of Christianity. The form and fitting up of sanctuaries vary - the modes of conducting public worship - the position of the worshippers - the style of sacred melody - the manner of communicating divine truth, vary from age to age.
But in the principles of divine worship - ih essential truth as revealed in the Word, there is, there can be, no change.
