Excerpt from Sermon: Delivered May 20th, 1888, at the Dedication of the Memorial Church "What hath God wrought?" - Numbers xxiii., 23d. When these words were uttered a great work had been wrought. The Israelites had been in bondage in Egypt. While there they had been the occasion of the ten plagues to the Egyptians. They had been brought forth with a mighty hand. The Red Sea had opened before them. The smitten rock had poured forth its waters. The manna had descended. The law - that marvellous law which is for all times and for all people - had been given from Sinai. The people had once reached the borders of the promised land, and because of unbelief had failed to enter in. They had then wandered in the wilderness for forty years till every faithless man had died, and now they had come again to that border, and their tents were pitched on the plain of Moab, eastward of the Jordan. Overlooking that plain was Mount Pisgah. On the top of that were seen seven smoking altars, and on each of these had been offered a bullock and a ram. Near these altars stood the King of Moab surrounded by his princes, and by his side stood Balaam, who had been sent for from the mountains of the East to come and curse Israel.
