About this listen

 THIS Sermon is published not simply in deference to the request of friends who heard it,—of one especially whose wish came with authority,—hut also because, so sanctioned, it may possibly help to draw attention to the real issue in the great controversy between the Catholic Church in its several branches on the one side, and the sects and schools, Ultra-Protestant or Rationalistic, on the other. That issue I take to be, Whether, believe it or not as men please, their standing as Christians be not indeed “on holy ground;” whether we be not indeed “under the cloud,” separated from Egypt and the wilderness and the whole outer world, as the children of Israel were, only having God infinitely nearer unto us than He was even unto them. I remember one departed from among us, eminent for many good gifts, but (as I sadly believe) greatly misled and misleading on this and kindred points,— what surprise he expressed at finding that the miracle of Pentecost was supposed to be really though invisibly continued in the Church, whereas he had been used to regard it as a manifestation vouchsafed for a time only, by way of outward credentials. The theories which are even now disturbing us remind me perpetually of this sentiment, whereof they appear to be so many legitimate developments. With a view to this, the subject of the Sermon was selected. It will not be irrelevant, nor yet, I hope, presumptuous, if I say here that these bad developments appear to me to culminate in the two recent decisions of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, which are now such a trouble and alarm to us. For indeed they remind one but too distinctly of the two first suggestions which brought sin into our world:—“Hath God said it?” “is this indeed His word?” and, “Ye shall not surely die” “He might not mean what He said.” But I am anxious to add to this, that how sadly soever these sentences, so long as they stand, affect the well-being of the Church of England, they will not, that I can see, imperil her life and being as a true portion of the Catholic Church, until she have ceased to disavow them and to seek their revocation. That she is bringing grievous sin upon herself, and may expect heavy judgments from the Almighty, for every moment that she bears with such profane interference as seems inseparable from the action of that Court as now constituted,—besides the direct wrong done to two of her Parishes, and the scandal before all Christendom by the prima facie allowance of fundamental error,—I cannot, alas! have the smallest doubt.
