Excerpt from A Charge Delivered at His Primary Visitation of the Diocese of Colombo, in May, 1879 ON this first occasion of our meeting as a Diocese - Bishop, Diocesan J Priests, Deacons and Laity - officially gathered together, you must feel, my brethren, as I do, oppressed by a sense of our responsibility. We meet in God's presence, as re presenting an organized portion of His Church: a portion which, in regard to the entire Body of Christ, is a small member indeed, but in regard to the individuals who com pose Our diocese is a living whole. We cannot but feel, that by what we do, and still more by what we are, the Church in this diocese may be judged. The standard of unity, of charity, of orthodoxy in the diocese generally, cannot be much higher or much lower than that which is found among us here to-day. Christ, looking on our assembly, sees what are the attainments of this portion of His Church, how much fruit His Passion has borne here, whether there is an acceptable people made ready in His sight. How can we bear this gaze, my brethren, without dismay? Let us humble ourselves before Him, confessing our sins and the sins of our people, and earn estly seek, this morning at His Altar, grace for a better service in time to come, more faith and more love.
