Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Review of the Rev. U. C. Burnap's Sermon on Bible Servitude
Christ Jesus the Lord having forgiven you all trespasses; blotting out the hand-writing of ordinances that were against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nail ing it to his cross. (col xi: 13, soi might go on multiplying texts, but if such as Ihave produced do not satisfy a man, neither would he be though one rose from the dead. Again: Mr. B. Savs, that the system is allowed in some form, and, in view of human nature, and the circumstances of human existence, deemed necessary, is further evident from the instructions which are given to regulate it. If the object had been at once to destroy, no efforts would have been made to regulate. The duty of the master and servant would have been simply, to dissolve the relation. They would have had no further responsibility under those names. Obedience to God would no longer have been connected with previous titles and obligations. As it is, they are each of them charged in reference to the continued relation. The master and servant are solemnly charged as such, and their obligations are render ed mutual and conditionally permanent. No sin of the world is rebuked with more pungency and terror, than the sin of op pression. It is the great and prevalent sin of the world, and calls loudly for divine vengeance.
