Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from What Christianity Demands of Us at the Present Crisis: A Sermon Preached on Thanksgiving Day, Nov; 29, 1860
It may not be my province to Speak of slavery 5in the Territories; but I cannot refrain, from saying, that the whole agitation upon that subject looks to me, in the main, like the work of desperate politicians. All the other cardinal issues upon which the country has been divided, are put to rest. The contingencies of this question must inevitably be controlled by agencies which are paramount to all human legislation. But it offers a convenient lever for stirring up the sediment of party feeling, and fomenting our sec tional jealousies; and therefore it must be plied, no matter what the con sequences to the country. We who are not politicians (i Speak for some millions of people) have too deep a stake in the Republic to regard this course of things with satisfaction.
