Excerpt from Sermon Preached Before the Synod of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island: In Connection With the Church of Scotland, on June 26th, 1866 All work is honorable the more difficult the more honor able, the higher the nature of that on which, and the aims with which we work, the more honorable, the nobler the companionship the more honorable the work. Of his work in the ministry St. Paul specially speaks in this chapter, and he strikes a higher key than David, who often cried, God is my helper, for such language indicates a separation between God and man, shows us man, weak, depressed, in danger, and the mighty God coming down to his rescue, whereas St. Paul's words imply a perfect oneness between man and God, a sympathy and companionship in labor, a unity of aim and effort. And this thought was a living reality to the apostle, seemed to be ever before him, and was expressed by him again and again, both in \his speaking and writing.* I. - What is the work of God? The large earth, seamed with rich ores, rock-ribbed and knit together, carpeted with soft grass and many ¿owers the luxuriance of summer and harvest, 'the landscape winking through the heat', 'the quiet tune of a hidden brook', rolling prairies and vast depths of woodland, billowy mountains stretching far to the horizon the wise ways, the unerring instincts of ant and bee.
