ANGLICAN CHURCH MISSIONS. 301 
of the ministers and system of the English 
Church is therefore to be considered as of con- 
siderable weight in the balance of their fitness, 
and adaptation to be the established teachers 
of the Kaffirs. 
In the same order, regularity, and decency 
then with which we have received the Gospel 
in Britain, in the same may we not hope and 
believe it will be received in Southern Africa. 
If its evangelical truth has lost none of its lus- 
tre or brightness by being established amongst 
us, in the true apostolic order ; if its catholic 
love was strong enough to keep alive the zeal 
of those who first planted that banner on Bri- 
tain's shores, and was able, in their hands, 
to expel and extirpate the barbarous rites of 
Pagan Druidism ; shall it be said, or even sup- 
posed, that it has lost any of that power now, 
or that the same is not to be found as all-suffi- 
cient in uprooting heathenism from Africa, 
and uprearing there, in its stead, the kingdom 
of Christ and His sceptre of righteousness ? 
ISTo, let England's Church not doubt the power 
which belongs, not indeed to her own inherent 
excellency, or her superior worth, but to Him, 
who is her Head, her Sovereign, and her God, 
and through Him to her, and who has said 
that the conflict is won, by his servants, not 
"by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit
