Q. I Wish to ask several questions ra specting the M. E. Church and slavery; but before I do this, I Wish to know some thing about the views of Mr. Wesley and his followersin England. The slave trade was extensively earned on during the Whole of Mr. Wesley' s life. Christians were generally asleep on the subject and many professors of religion and some min isters of the gospel were extensively en gaged in the atrocious business of the slave trade, even at the time of Mr. Vvesley's death, and for some years afterward.
