(5) Here, after all, 10 key TO the whole.
Better not have written any thing else on the
subject. Seen in the light Of this single SEN
tsnce, al the rest you have said, brother
Sands, lis worse than thrown away,-because
Il shows all your other objections to be mere

discussed In the Herald-and one side of

shCrch members found guilty ofthese sins
and Of excluding them if they will not repent
and forsake. But If you wish TO urge the
duty or propriety Of disciplining church
members for trading in slaves and souls Of

full Of outrage, robbery, incest and murder,

aught in behalf OF those who are violently
deprived OF this 5read in our own land, and
BY Chrisfian hands, you must not expect to
make such communications through the
R<lirious Herald-they pertain more 10 the
