Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1846-04-10


The Methodists, the Presbyterians and the
Quakcrs have made laws to sell Jesus Christ
in the capitol of this nation, according to
what we have just read.
Although Jesus Christ, when on earth,
went about healing the lame, restoring the
blind to their sight, and healing all manner
OF disease among the people and doing them
good, yet they hated him. Why did they
hate him Because he exposed their sins.
lie declared that the kingdom Of heaven was
within you except you be reprobates, and
when there is a soul under the dominion Of
God, that soul is in heaven.
If we could, my friends, be willing TO
throw away party and sect. and everything
that stands in the way of this cause, and join
in and let our hearts all run together in the
great work of redeeming the suffering bond
man, what an achievement would soon be
wrought!
Foster here desired his hearers, when they
went home, TO reflect whether he had not .old
them the truth, and whether the positions he
had laid down were not correct. He then
closed his discourse.
lie however made some further remarks
Immediately in connection, in which he stated
that he had been educated a minister-had
been L. years in the church. He had la
bored hard TO bring members into the church
had been very successful in making con-
verts to the church and not to God. He had
since discovered, and had the most indubitl-
BILE evidence that they we're not Christians,
but were merely upon a level with the world
around them. Two Of these men whom he
had converted, and who had knelt down by
his side and prayed, Lad since assisted in
dragging him out Of a house when he was
lecturing.
If he was in error now, as he had now dis
covered he once was, le would thank any
one to set him right.
Friends Editors The reported speech of
Stephen S. Foster which | send you, has been
taken, more for the purpose of obtaining all
his positions and sentiments as then express
ed, than to give it that embellished form in
which it was delivered, and in which it would
be read with more interest generally. | be-
lieye have in no respect misrepresentod him,
although it is abridged in several places. 1t
will of course convey but little idea to the
reader of the force with which the speaker
is wont to present his views
The length of the speech will not deter those
who desire to understand the religious aspect
oil the cause he represents, from a careful Pc
rusal of it, and it will be perceived 10 con-
tain a great number Of ideas simply bu, clea,-
ly expressed.
