Synopsis
Excerpt from Thy Neighbor as Thyself: A Sermon Before the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, at the Seventy-Fourth Annual Meeting, Held at Detroit, Michigan, October 2, 1883
Men and brethren: In announcing this plain sentence as the text of the following discourse, allow me the privilege Of an introduction to it in the use Of a somewhat violent supposition. Let Christianity be withdrawn. Suppose that instead of being here tonight with our eyes on the map of the world, forming plans for its conversion to Christ, there is no Christ nor Christian Church. The gospel is no more. The vexations of the learned over miracle and inspiration are at an end the rivalries Of the sects have gone down in a general indifference 5 missions are abandoned, reform has become impotent, In SO far as it depended upon the Christian dynamic. What would be left? The world would still be here, as firm under the human foot as ever; day and night, summer and winter, seed-time and harvest would not cease. And man as a moral being Would be here, behaving as he has behaved where the gospel has not corrected him. Under the One who is over all, law would still be here, reigning unto life and death, over all who by their very make find themselves its natural subjects. The gospel of Christ not having made the world, nor human nature, nor enacted the great law Of right and wrong with its award and doom, these things would still continue under its supposed withdrawal.
