ST. SEPULCHRE'S.
At the Church of the Holy Sepulchre yesterday morning the Yen. Archdeacon B. T. Dudley took as his text Ephesians 11., 19, "Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints of the household of God." The preacher analysed the duties of Christian citizenship. He said that the inhabitants of the New Jerusalem would be brought into communion out of every tongue, people and nation. The worK of elevation and purification would be carried out by faith, hope and love, until, like the British Constitution, which has been produced by generations of chequered experience, the ideal citizenship was gradually prepared for. Man missed his life's intent if he lived for this world alone, Man was made for immortality, and should look up and realise his calling as a member of Christ and inheritor of the kingdom of heaven. "Noblesse oblige" should be the true motto, and, if it were made so, man would live the same life as at present, but would do nobler things, and would be worthy "fellow-citizens with the saints."
