The sentence of conservation deliv.
cred by Bishop Willis concluded as
follows:
This Cathedral stands as a witness
to an unchanging morality. The will
of God in regard to human conduct
first written on the human conscience
was delivered from Mt. Sinai in ter
commandments by the voice of Goo
Himself, and then inscribed by the
| finger of God on two tables OF stone
Those ten commandments delivered
| by the word Of God are not less the
rule of life under the Gospel than they
were under the law. 1 am not cCmC
to destroy, but to fulfill said our bless
ed Lord. His mission was not to dc
away with the moral law, but tC
teach fuller and wider application o
1t. For with God is no variableness
neither shadow Of turning. Thougl
heaven and earth pass away, His wort
shall not pass away. This cathedral
built in the faith Of Him who is tn,
same yesterday and today and forever
stands a witness to the immutable oh
legation of the ten commandments, anC
every one of them without exception
No change of time can relax that obi
cation. The laws of States may ceas,
to be based upon Divine law, but tn,
Divine law remains in force. When II,
who Is the sarle yesterday and toda!
and forever has declared the marriag,
Of divorced persons to be adultery, NJ
human legislation can make II other
wise. Nor again can law or custom
alter the immutable obligation of tn,
sanctity Of the Lords day. The res
of one day in seven Is q God.givel
right to the sons OF toll OF which cap
ital cannot deprive them without sin
Capitalists who in their greed TO
wealth keep their mills running from
midnight on Sunday to midnight OF
Saturday need to be reminded tina
they aret robbing God of the honor tina
He demands, and their fellowmen 0
their most sacred rights. They ma.
say, we keep the letter OF the law
our machinery is still for a seventh o
The wAnlg nnf hnw ahnttf tho liuini
souls who attend to the machinery
engineers, sugar boilers and laborers
Have they twenty.four hours rest
Are they free to attend to their RELIC
lCus duties on the sacred day? II tn
answer to these questions is no, thel
may this cathedral ever be a witnes
to these Islands that their prosperit
depends on obedience to the will o
God, and though they who transgres
the laws OF God In their haste to b.
rich may prosper for time, but pres
emily they will find, to use the Ian
guage of the prophet Haggai to hi
own generation, that their dividend
are put into bag with holes
And finally consider that in settin,
apart this cathedral for the worship o
bpu We nave d'lSu not lpI OuTSelNeI
alone. or for this generation. but TO
generation after generation of tn,
faithful who within these walls will
offer their prayers and praises to Hin
VINO Is the same yesterday and toda!
and forever"
