more than man; and he went on TO say
he was the first who ever attempted to
conquer tho world by love. II was q
scheme which would never have been
attempted by any nero mortal man.
None but the mind Of God could have
conceived it. Yes, the mission Of Je-
sus was one of love; and love is the
great argument by which he seeks to
conquer men. s:The Son Of ,na,, is
come to sock and to save that which was
lost"
And such. too, is our. mission. We
are sent forth to seek the cutcast, the
debauched, the beggared, the ruined.
We go to him whether in the palace or
the cabin; whether clothed in fine linen
or iii rags Our mission is to seek the
lost, and if we find him abandoned
by man, an outcast from the sympathies
of those who honored him in better day
an object of loathing to his kindred,
clad in rags, and lying in the gutter,
love prompts us to goto him. We will
raise him up from his degradation, and
whisper to him that he is vet a man.:
that there are those around him whose
hearts in unison with their solemn plcd-
ges, bind them to do him good, to save
him; that We will put him on his feet,
help him to stand, and aid him with ali
our power in his efforts to walk forth
into society disenthralled and free to
do tho bidding Of his conscience and his
God. This is our work, and thousands
of redeemed drunkards, once debased
and ruined, now clothed and in their
right minds, honored of men and ap-
proved OF God, are the trophies of our
victory, and tho divine signatures to
our glorious ministry; and tho blessings
of thousands of happy wives and joyful
mothers who pray for US and bless us as
Gods chosen instruments in restoring
those once lost, and bringing back peace
and love and joy to homes accursed for
many long years,-ay, and lisping
childhood has heard the name and char
acter of our Order, and pours it's pray
ers for US, and its blessings on US: and
the blessings of many who were ready
to perish have come upon us. Unlike
other conquering armies, no cities
smoke in the rear of our military march,
no fields are laid waste, no famine Of
bread marks our course; 10 widows wall
because of US; nor do the lips of orphan
age curse US; but we find cursing and
woe and ruin in our front, and behind
us spring up peace and plenty and
prosperity.
Again, I say, sir, we thank you and
the ladies of Oxford for the precious
gift bestowed on us. Ircceive it from
you, and now commit to my brethren of
the Division. Brethren, shall it be en-
phaucally our booG2 May not pledge
