Excerpt from English Civilization Undemonstrative: The Address to the St. George's Society, in the Cathedral of St. James, Toronto, April James, Toronto
The metaphors employed in Holy Scripture to describe the progress of Christianity on the earth, represent it as advancing from great obscurity (at the outset), to ultimate visibility and conspicuousness. In one place it is Leaven, unseen for a time, but in due season making itself manifest by its upheaving, transforming, and purifying effects throughout the mass into which it was inserted. In another it is minute unnoticeable Seed, cast into the ground, and becoming a great Tree, stretching itself out to such an extent that nations might find shelter under the shadow of its branches. And then, it is a Building, whose general form and design, to the uninitiated, are not at first perceptible whose foundations are laid down over large and irregular spaces in great obscurity, stone by stone, slowly and silently, by humble unnoticed labourers - until at length it shews it self above the surface, and grows and rises - and assumes shape and proportion, revealing itself at last in all its dimen sions, even as a City set upon a hill, with walls and towers, and innumerable roofs, for 'the security, protection, and comfort of men.
