Description

Excerpt from Discourse Delivered at the Commemoration of the Landing of the Pilgrims of Maryland: Celebrated May 15, 1843, at Mt; St. Mary's, MD There exists a peculiar relation between the true minister of Christ and his flock. The ties of flesh and blood, that, like silken cords, bind up our affections round home and friends, though tender, are still frail and unenduring, in comparison of those spiritual ties, which bind the soul to Religion, and link us in relationship with its ministers. And though this may appear strange, it is far from being unnatural; for Religion and its Ministers, are the two great links which unite man with his Creator, connect the Visible with the in visible world, and keep up a constant communication between earth and heaven. The Apostle St. Paul, aware of this spiritual relation ship, exhorts the pastors to watch for the salvation of the people, and the people to obey their injunctions; that, as the pastors watched for their security, they should repay their zeal and vigilance with ready obedience and unwavering fidelity. And how admirably and faithfully have the pastors and the people fulfilled these mutual duties, and preserved unbroken their high and holy relationship! How true, in all ages, have we seen the pastors to their sacred call ing; and how firm and faithful the people in attachment and obe dience! Being members of the same spiritual body which is Christ, they sympathized in each other's sufferings, they shared each other's victories. When one was oppressed the other flew to his rescue, maintained his rights and shielded him from injustice. Thus in all ages have the clergy and the people stood side by side, thus have Religion and liberty been always found united, and closely arrayed in opposition to bigotry and tyranny.
