Excerpt from Thirteenth Annual Address of the Bishop of the Diocese of Illinois: 1864 Brethren Beloved: In the opening of the great deliverance from Egypt of the Covenant people, which has always been to the Church so striking a type, and so rich a directory of the wilderness journey of the Bride of Christ, there is a beautiful incident closely relative to our present meeting, sympathies and commission: "The Lord said unto Aaron, 'Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went and met him in the mount of God, and kissed him." The "meeting and greeting" on the mount of God, the preparation for the heroic endurance and successful work of the Ministry of the Church. Brothers in blood were those two representative men, but trained apart in the discipline, culture and experience of life. Moses was "learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, mighty in words and in deeds, " and lifted by an adopted birthright into princely state, while his interior life, in its ideal, was repellent to the heathen luxury, and panted in noble seclusion, with the aspirations of its undefined mission. The other child of that same mother had been left in the world as it was, and dwelt among his own people, to share the bondage of the masses, and elaborate his training from the common business and handicraft of the serfdom to which his nation was reduced.
