Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Character and Influence of Abolitionism: A Sermon Preached in the First Presbyterian Church, Brooklyn, on Sabbath Evening, Dec, 9th, 1860
Let whatever Christian slaves are under the yoke of unbelievers pay their own masters all respect and obedience, that the character of God whom we worship may not be calumniated, and the doctrine of the gospel may not be evil spoken of, as tending to destroy the political rights of mankind. And those Christian slaves who have believing masters, let them not despise them, fancying that they are their equals because they are their brethren in Christ; for, though all Christians are equal as to religious privileges, slaves are infe rior to their masters in station. Wherefore, let them serve their masters more diligently, because' they who enjoy the benefit of their service are believers and beloved of God. These things teach, and exhort the brethren to practise them. If any one teach differently, by affirming that, under the gospel.
