and Scotland, are to be found in the territories of British India. Have these neglected men no claims on British Christians? Have these claims been duly felt and acknowledged by us? If but a small band of Mohammedans were to be brought under the power of the gospel, might we not expect to find, in almost every one of them, an ardent propagator of the faith? of the faith? If such conversions became numerous, might we not anticipate the diffusion of Christianity in the East with unexampled rapidity? Let then the interests of the blinded Mohammedans be duly regarded in our missionary counsels, and our missionary operations. Let our fervent and united prayers continually ascend to the throne of grace, that He who has promised to pour out his Spirit upon all flesh, may convince them of the sin of not believing on the Saviour, and constrain them to abandon the Crescent, and to glory in the Cross! In conclusion, let me ask whether even Mohammedans may not rise up in the judgment of the last day, and condemn many who call themselves Christians! Do not the frequency and the regularity of Mohammedan devotions reproach many for their neglect of prayer? Does not the pre-eminent importance Mohammedans attach to religion, reproach many for their criminal indifference to the things which belong to their peace? Does not their zeal for the propagation of their faith reproach many for their selfish apathy? Examine yourselves, my friends, whether ye be in the faith; whether you are Christians in reality as well as Christians in name. Are you the servants of God, the epistles of Christ, the temples of the Holy Ghost? If you are, give to God the glory which is due. Let your life be obedience; let your character be illustrative of your creed; let your whole persons be a living, holy, and acceptable sacrifice to the God of your salvation; and may it be the crowning blessedness of your eternity, to be surrounded in the heavenly paradise, by numerous converts from Islamism, and Paganism, and Judaism, indebted to your efforts and your prayers, for having obtained a place among the multitude which no man can number, of all nations and kindreds and people and tongues, who sing with a voice of enraptured joy-" Salvation to our God who sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb." 66 THE END.
