THE DIOCESE OF MAINE


a great English estate, entailed so that it could never be alienated or divided, inhabited by industrious and prosperous tenants, content with that subordinate state of life to which he believed God had called them, under the benevolent rule of his descendants, submitting themselves to the Rector and the Squire for the time being, ordering themselves lowly and reverently to all their betters. Faithful to his belief in the righteous- ness of the old order, which he conceived to have been ordained of God, he remained loyal, at the Revolution, to the King, and so, by retiring to England, risked, and subsequently lost, almost the whole of what was then a vast fortune, said to have been one of the two largest in America. It must have been a bitter experience for him to apply, as he was obliged to do, to the British Crown for the means of subsistence in England.


With all my heart, I rejoice that his dream failed of fulfilment. It was impossible, entirely contrary to the new spirit then beginning to stir in America and to that true democracy which Christ came to establish. Yet it was no ignoble dream. He thought it was the best way to devote his wealth to the welfare of the community, and he hoped that thus he could bind fast his posterity forever to the service of God through the Church. Deeply as we rejoice in the abolition of class distinctions, yet there was sometimes in the old order a sense of responsibility which we are in danger of losing, now that entrance into the ranks of the privi- leged comes largely from the acquisition of wealth. There was a deeper and more permanent inspiration in the principle that noblesse oblige than in paying an income tax of fifty per cent. Perhaps the old responsibility too easily felt itself discharged by the cold charity which was content to let the poor man gather the crumbs from the rich man's table, but even that was better than the bitter struggle between rich and poor, each to hold for himself all that he has and to wrest from the other as much more as possible.


My grandfather realized that his grandfather's hope to perpetuate the old order was contrary to American institutions, and his first act, on coming of age, was to break the entail, and thus open this beautiful tract of fertile country to the independent ownership of free American citizens. We, his descendants, still look to him with reverence. From his first dealings with the men who, in the long absence of his grandfather and the impossibility of any development during his own minority, had

settled upon his property without strict legal right, down to the day of his death, his first and only desire was to deal justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly before the Lord his God, and no man ever had, or more justly deserved, a finer epitaph than that beautiful inscription on the walls of the church whose completion we are celebrating, written by the saintly Bishop, for seventeen years his son, his brother, his closest friend.1 God grant that as long as his posterity exist among men, no one of them may ever fail to be loyal to his example.


The attempts which had been made in the earliest settlements of Maine, long before the Pilgrims and the Puritans, to establish the Church proved unsuccessful, and until some years after the Revolution, those who adhered to it were often sorely persecuted, and, in some places, taxed for the support of Congregationalism, then the established State Church. To the south of Massachusetts, and even in Boston, the Episcopal Church was securely founded. Many of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were Churchmen, and Washington, in whose hands God placed the foundation of the Republic, was a devout and loyal communicant. But many of its members throughout the coun- try were Loyalists, and the overthrow of the doctrine of the Divine right of kings too easily fostered prejudice against the Church, which, blind to its Divine commission, had too often regarded itself as the bulwark of the old order.


So the Church in the United States was slow in reaching any concep- tion of itself except as a sect among sects, without a universal message and responsibility. And that was especially true in Maine. In the dis- cussion as to which form of religion should be established in Bowdoin College, even my grandfather, devout and loyal Churchman as he was, debated with his fellow officers of the college only the comparative merits of Congregationalism and Methodism. Yet he had the vision of unity. Under the ministrations of the Rev. Mr. Humphrey, about a hun- dred and ten years ago, an effort was made to unite the Methodists with our Parish. But the Church, then in this country, as in England, in bonds to uniformity, insisted upon the letter of the Prayer Book as one of the cornerstones of unity, and the Methodists, still in the first flush of Wcs-

THE DIOCESE OF MAINE


ley's protest against the deadly and mechanical formality which had brought the Church in England to the lowest ebb in its history, pre- ferred their freedom.


Yet the Parish and the Diocese had their share in the new life which was beginning to stir in the Church. Just before the erection of the present Church building, there was established here a Sunday-school, one of the earliest in the country, and Parish and Diocese shared early in the Evangelical awakening to missionary activity, a reflex of the preaching of Wesley and Whitefield, which first roused the Church to life and power, and prepared the way for the Tractarian movement, which deepened and extended the missionary motive by giving the Church the consciousness of its universal and corporate responsibility as the Body of Christ. For the permanent and life-giving root of that motive is the sharing in the life and purpose and hope for mankind of God Incarnate in the Person of the Son, and, for the generality of men, that motive is best quickened and strengthened by the special means of grace ministered through the Sacraments. We need the intense per- sonal conviction of immediate relation with God. Our Faith, that which makes us what we are, needs to be rooted personally in the personal Christ. But we need, too, the assurance that membership in Christ means membership in the Body of which He is the Head, and through which He ministers His Life to all who are bound together in Him.


But now, as the world grows smaller and men are more closely related to one another, the corporate aspect of our religion is the special need. It is more deeply true than at any time in history, that no man, nor any nation, can truly live in isolation. Yes, - never has there been greater need or opportunity for the corporate function of the Church. God established on the great high road between the earliest civilizations the people to whom He specially manifested His revelation of Himself as infinite, eternal, transcendent, righteous, and just. There He sent His Son to be made man to reveal His indwelling in the world in perfect love, that the knowledge of Him might be carried more swiftly to every part of the earth. That has now been done, for there is no corner of the globe to which the Gospel has not penetrated, or where men are not influenced, consciously or unconsciously, directly or indirectly, by Jesus Christ. There was an old prophecy that when the Gospel had been


[ 112 ]


ADDRESS OF IV ELCOME


preached to all the world, the Lord would come again in all His glory. It may be that tothe generation which is taking our places is vouchsafed the opportunity now to bring all His world to obedience to His law of Love. The ends of the earth have been brought together, and the whole world made one, so that the Church, to which God has entrusted the message of His Love Incarnate, may knit all men everywhere, of every race and tongue and clime, into the one Body of the one Lord, filled with His Spirit of love and service and sacrifice, that He may be all in all, and peace and righteousness established forever.


So while our children and our children's children to the remotest gen- eration must hold fast to all that our ancestors have preserved for them of the personal relation of the individual to God, yet the eyes of the generation to whose hands God is now entrusting the visible activities of the Church and the direction of the world must be fixed upon the vision of the Church, not as an aggregation of individuals, however saintly, but as the Body of Christ, the fullness of Him that filleth all in all.


The day of Democracy, toward which civilization has been struggling from its earliest dawn, often through blood and fire in all the horrors of war between nations and classes and individuals, is near at hand. It can- not be held back, for democracy is the instinct deeply implanted by God in the hearts of all men that they may be fit to be His friends, brothers of His Son and of one another in His Son. And because God wants men to be His friends, He has made us free, -free to share in His purposes of Love. or free, if we will, to thwart and postpone them.


But to seek to thwart oncoming democracy is to oppose the central doctrine of our Faith. For we who are Churchmen can find, if we look fearlessly and deeply, no permanent and efficient hope for the world except in Christ's New Commandment that we should love one another even as He also has loved us. To us is not offered the crown of martyr- dom by axe or fire. But there stands before each of us the opportunity for the utter surrender of self to the one Life of the one Body, that each of us may help to bring in a free and united world living the life of love. State and Church have their separate functions, and neither can yet attain fulfilment unless they are kept separate. But surely that is not the complete or permanent ideal. The State has been defined as soci- ety organized apart from God. The Church is, or would be if we gave


[ 113 ]


THE DIOCESE OF MAINE


ourselves to God's will, society organized, that is to say, vitalized and bound together, in God through Christ, charged with the duty of mani- festing His Will as to every relation in which men as individuals or classes or nations can stand to one another. The ground of real demo- cracy is the fact that God has taken upon Him the nature of every man, and the Church, which is the Body in which Christ dwells in His world, will be, if men cease to thwart the purpose of its Head, the life and guid- ing spirit of a truly democratic state.


So the present opportunity of the Church is to manifest itself as the one Body of Christ, Whose Law of love is the only solution of the problem of a world which shall not be desolated by horrors unspeakable. The divided Church, divided because each of us has fixed his gaze upon the motes in his brother's eye instead of standing with his brothers uplifted to the vision of the King in His beauty, has been powerless to prevent the war which has almost destroyed civilization in half the world and effaced the ideals of freedom in the rest. It had no one voice with which to protest effectively against the iniquities of a treaty which has sought to reduce to hopeless slavery a great nation, sinful though it may have been, yet whose industry and ability and thoroughness had helped so greatly to promote learning and science, and had so largely increased that material prosperity of the world which all of us have put before the advancement of the Kingdom of God.


And it will be a lasting blot on the history of this great Republic that, after we had, in the earlier years of the titanic struggle in Europe, accumulated most of the wealth of the world and bound all the nations to our service as our debtors, we have refused to share in the effort to recreate the world and have determined to pass by on the other side, letting bleeding, starving Europe writhe in agony till, if life and strength return, the nations may grapple one another again in a still more deadly struggle of hate. The problems which racked the world before the War remain unsolved, changed a little in outward form, but in essence the same, for their root was in the principle of competition,-selfishness under the thin disguise of another word. The evil to combat which the world poured out its blood and treasure was Force, but the victory has only substituted one force for another. Even in America, boasting it- self for more than a century as the land of the free, we have witnessed


[ 114 ]


ADDRESS OF WELCOME


with equanimity, if not with horrid joy, the oppression of conscience and the destruction of free speech. It is the same world, weakened by hunger and want, convulsed by new forces, falling into new alignments. Great mass movements are aroused that cannot be stemmed. To per- meate these new forces with the life of love, with the thought of the well-being of all, and not the salvation of the few, is the revolution for which we must work. The world is in revolution. It is for us to help to make it a Christian revolution.


God grant that the Church may yet open her eyes to the vision of the King of Love upon the Cross. If she can but catch a glimpse of that, all her divisions will be healed, for every member of the Body will be set free from self, whether it be the self of the individual, the class, the sect, or the nation. Love is the only enduring power and hope of the world, the only means by which mancan become what God, Who made man in His own Image, hopes and means him to be. Only in perfect love is perfect freedom and fulfilment-and the history of the world is the story of God's patience in teaching man that lesson. Do we really believe that Love is a powerful force, mightier than hate and greed and ambi- tion? If we do not, we take the name of Christian in vain. Let us, if we do not have this Faith, tear down our churches and remove from the fascinated eyes of aspiring men the light of the Cross. But He Who was lifted up does indeed draw all men unto Him. And so this occasion, which takes us back to the early days of the Church in America, is not for us so much a day of memories as a day of purpose. Every age has its own pioneers. Let us be pioneers of the new world of love.
