We may, and we do, look forward with earnest expectation to the day when knowledge of salvation shall be given to these nations "by the remission of their sins, through the tender mercy of our God, whereby the Dayspring from on high hath visited us, to give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace." WE MAY AN WE DO LOOK FORWARD THE EARNEST EXPECTATION TO THE DAY WHEN KNOWLEDGE OF SALVATION SHALL BE GIVEN TO THESE NATIONS BY THE REMISSION OF THEIR SINS THROUGH THE TENDER MERCY OF OUR GOD WHEREBY THE DAYSPRING FROM ON HIGH HATH VISITED US TO GIVE LIGHT TO THEM THAT SIT IN DARKNESS AND IN THE SHADOW OF DEATH TO GUIDE OUR FEET INTO THE WAY OF PEAC
ing the argument on independent ground I have refrained from touching the peculiar doctrines of Christianity, and the inestimable benefits which flow to mankind therefrom, I may be excused, before I conclude, if I add a word regarding them. The followers of Mohammed have no knowledge of God as a _Father_; still less have they knowledge of him as "_Our_ Father"--the God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ. They acknowledge, indeed, that Jesus was a true prophet sent of God; but they deny his crucifixion and death, and they know nothing of the power of his resurrection. To those who have found redemption and peace in these the grand and distinctive truths of the Christian faith, it may be allowed to mourn over the lands in which the light of the Gospel has been quenched, and these blessings blotted out, by the material forces of Islam; where, together with civilization and liberty, Christianity has given place to gross darkness, and it is as if now "there were no more sacrifice for sins. HOUGH WITH THE VIEW OF PLACING THE ARGUMENT ON INDEPENDENT GROUND I HAVE REFRAINED FROM TOUCHING THE PECULIAR DOCTRINES OF CHRISTIANITY AND THE INESTIMABLE BENEFITS WHICH FLOW TO MANKIND THEREFROM I MAY BE EXCUSED BEFORE I CONCLUDE IF I ADD A WORD REGARDING THEM THE FOLLOWERS OF MOHAMMED HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF GOD AS A FATHER STILL LESS HAVE THEY KNOWLEDGE OF HIM AS OUR FATHER THE GOD AND FATHER OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST THEY ACKNOWLEDGE INDEED THAT JESUS WAS THE TRUE PROPHET SENT OF GOD BUT THEY DENY HIS CRUXIFIXION AND DEATH AND THEY KNOW NOTHING OF THE POWER OF HIS RESURRECTION TO THOSE WHO HAVE FOUND REDEMPTION AND PEACE IN THESE THE GRAND AND DISTINCT TRUTHS OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH IT MAY BE ALLOWED TO MOURN OVER THE LANDS IN WHICH THE LIGHT OF THE GOSPEL HAS BEEN QUENCHED AND THESE BLESSINGS BLOTTED OUT BY THE MATERIAL FORCES OF HIS LAMP WEAR TOGETHER WITH CIVILIZATION AND LIBERTY CHRISTIANITY HAS GIVEN PLACE TO GROSS DARKNESS AND IT IS AS IF NOW THERE WERE NO MORE SACRIFICE FOR SINS
