Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sermons Preached in Westminster Abbey So, too, you will find it with all the other services of this holy time; With the Epistles, for example. Thus take the words of my text, and those which go just before them - a portion, as you are aware, of to-day's Epistle. What a trumpet-tone does the Apostle here sound in our ears, it is high time to awake out of sleep, -startling us from the sleep of sin, telling us of a morning that is breaking, of a day that is at hand, of an armor with which we must be clothed, if we would be found upon that day in the ranks of God's army, and acknowledged as true sol diers and servants of Him under whose banner we profess to serve. And assuredly the trumpet of the Apostle gives here no uncertain sound. It was by these very words that, fifteen hundred years ago, the noblest and chiefest uninspired teacher whom the Western Church has ever known, - I mean St. Agus tine - it was in the act of reading these very words that he was at length effectually roused from the death of sin to the life of righteousness. It was by the Spirit of God working through these words that he was strengthened at last to burst those bands of sinful habit which had held him so long, and enabled to enter into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
