WE often hear, even at this late period of the Christian era, and in this age Of Christian revivals, reformations, and mis Sionary enterprise, the lamentation Of the evangelic Prophet; or inquiries quite equivalent. Who hath believed our re port and to Whom is the arm of the Lord revealed Isa. Liii. 1. If the gospel of Christ is the power Of God unto sal vation, Why has not the World been saved, from the dominion Of Sin and misery, ages ago If the law of the Lord be per fect, converting the soul, Why are there SO many millions of unconverted Sinners, in every part Of the World; and especially in this Christian land, Where the Bible is placed in every house, or Offered at the door Of every habitation, and Where provision is made for teaching every child to read and under stand the same If God our Saviour has, by his word and Spirit, revealed to men for their salvation, his whole Will, in all things concerning their edification and salvation, Why do ignorance Of his Will, transgression Of the same, and the con sequent Sin and misery, constitute the general character and condition of the great mass Of mankind, even in the most em lightened and Christian nations Of'the earth Why, in every Christian city, community, and country, do the catalogues Of crime, against the law Of God, the law Of nature, the laws Of men, and the peace and happiness of human society, exceed, by many fold, the number Of Christian conversions in the same communities Why does not the preaching Of the gos pel, Which has become the exclusive profession, Office, busi ness, and livelihood, Of a large and very important class Of men, sustained at great expense, in all Christian nations, ex bibit its legitimate in?uences, and produce its natural fruits.
