Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Appeal to the Professors of Christianity, in the Southern States and Elsewhere, on the Subject of Slavery
It is the duty of those who are the professed followers of our Divine Master, to be concerned for the welfare of their fellow-professors, and for their steady advancement in the path prescribed by our Lord for all his servants to walk in; and it is their privilege to extend to them a word of caution or entreaty in a spirit of love and good will, which desires the peace and prosperity of the whole heritage of God. "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men," was the anthem sung by angels at the advent of the Messiah; and as we become partakers of his spirit, we, too, may be enabled to join in this angelic song.
It is, we trust, in Christian, brotherly love, and for the promotion of the cause of truth and righteousness, and certainly not for the advancement of any temporal interest of our own, that we are induced, at this time, to present to our fellow-professors, of every denomination, this brief address on the subject of Slavery; and the freedom that we feel ourselves required to use in relation to it, will not, we hope, be deemed obtrusive, when we remember the intrinsic importance of the matter treated of, and call to mind the one faith and ground of hope of all true professors of Christianity. We are believers in one Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who died for the sins of the whole world. We believe in him as a risen Mediator, who ever liveth to make intercession for us.
