The Union Of Love To God And Love To Man, A Sermon, Preached In St. Andrew's Church, New Town, Edinburgh,

That he may add still greater wei ght to this argument for mutual love among Christian Brethren , he tells us , that the good angels who minister to the happiness ancl salvation of the pious , and meek , and humble , do daily witness in Heaven the injuries that are done to them by their Brethren through malice and injustice . Thus , ' Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones ; for I say unto you

, that in Heaven their angels do always behold the face of my father who is in Heaven * . ' Is not this a consideration which ought to arrest the daring hand of guilt , . and stop the profligate and the injurious from seducing into vice , and from treating with cruelty and injustice , any of our Christian Brethren , the flock of Christ , whom , by his Spiritand by the ministry of good angelshe watches over with

, , the tenderness and cave of a faithful shepherd ? In his own description of the last judgment , our Saviour has strongly marked the value of a humane and benevolent mind ; and he has set before us , in the strongest colours , the awful danger of being unjust and unmerciful toward our Brethren . ' When the Son of Man shall come in his glorj ' ancl all the holy angels with him

, , then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory : and before him shall be gathered all nations ; and he shall separate them one from another , as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats . And he shall set the sheep on his right hand , but the goats on the left . Then shall

the king say unto them on his right hand , Come , ye blessed of my Father , inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world : for I was an hungered , and ) 'e gave me meat ; I was thirsty , and ye gave me drink : I was a stranger , and ye took me in ; naked , and ye clothed me ; I was sick , and ye visited me ; I was in prison , and ye came unto me . —Verily I say unto you , in as much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my Brethrenye

, have done it unto me . Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand , Depart from me , ye cursed , into everlasting fire , prepared for the-devil and his angels : for 1 was an hungered , and ye gave me no meat ; I was thirsty , and ye gave me no drink ; I was a stranger , and ye took me not in ; naked , and ye clothed me not ; sick , and in prison , and ye visited me not . —Verily I say unto you , in as much
