Excerpt from A Sermon Preached at the Opening of the New Sabbath-School Rooms, of the Green Point Presbyterian Church, Noble Street, on Sabbath Morning, April 7, 1872
The words of Moses Aare not inappropriate words at this time, and to those who have built this house of God. That portion of Scripture in which we find the passage is full of promise, andgood cheer, and comfort. It predicts the restora tioh and ingathering of a scattered people; it declares that the Lord will make them plen teous in every work reminds them that He is their life tells them to be strong, and of good courage, and fear not for the Lord. He it is that doth go before thee: He will-not fail thee nor forsake thee and then commands, saying: Gather the people together. Men, and women, and children_, and thy stranger that is 'within thy gates. That they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the Lord your God, and observe to do all the words of this law; and that Z/zesv' chiidren, which have not known anything, may hear and learn to fear the Lord your God. As long as ye live in the land.'
