in bonds as bound with them and them which suffer
adversely as being yourselves also in the body" To
sweep with those that weep" 10 "do unto others as
we would that they should do unto u.s." Do any of
us feel, and live up to this spirit? Do we not often
turn deaf ear, or 'pass by on the other side when
the claims of the wretched sons and daughters of Ad
am are urged upon us? While enjoying the comforts
of home, and the social blessings of intercourse with
kindred and friends are we not apt to forget the poor
bondman, who have nothing they call their own
whose wife and children, brothers and sisters, may be
torn from them by unfeeling master, and sold far
away-who have no prospect before them but the
chains of slavery till death sets them lroe-whose

R L LIG lou s

To all the ministers and Chmch-mcmJcrS
JcFcvcrs in Christ throughout the United
States:
The Anti-SIavery Convention of Ministers anl
Church-members in Massachusetts, held at the
Marlboro Chapel, Boston, on the Goth Of Feb
1916, present the following Declaration Of some
of their views, and Pledge of their intentions
for the future, in regard to the great subject o
American Slavery.
The subject has been before us in the light o
these interrogatorles, viz
|. Why the Gospel has not long since abolish
ed American Slavery?
9. Where lies the blame that it has not!
3. Are we authorized TO expect that the Cos
pei will yet abolish it,
A. If so, whenl How! BY what agency
s. What ought we to do for this end

They will remember that thou vert their
fruitful mother, their robust nurse, and their
'church militant. They will pour balm upon
thy wounds, and they will make the rejuvena-
ted and embamed earth bed where thou canSt

RESOLUTIONS


|. Resolved; That all the religious papers
which circulate in Massachusetts, be respectfully
requested to publish the acts of this conven-
ton.
9 Resolved That the above Declaration and
Pledge be recommended for consideration and
adoption by all all Christian societies; not only
churches but Bible, Tract, Missionary and 9th
or benevolent Societies, who have it properly in
their power to do anything in aid of tbs cause of
Emancipation.
3. Resolved; That Standing Committee Of
seven persons, be now appointed, to promote the
object Of this convention; particularly by holding
county and other meetings Of similar charac-
ter, composed of ministers and church members
without distinction of sect or party; and bringing
the subject appropriately before the different &C.
cIcsiascaI and religious bodies throughout the
Commonwealth.
d. Resolved; That this committee be empow-
cred to issue an appeal to all who profess the re-
ligion Of the Lord Jesus Christ, on the subject
of American Slavery, urging upon them the ac
complishment Of two things:
First, to clear the religion of the Bible from
the reproach which has been brought upon it by
connivance with slavery on the part of many
who have protested it.
Secondly, to bring religion, by every legit-
mate means within its reach, to bear upon that
sin Of our Nation.
The following persons were chosen commit
tee to carry out the Resolutions:
N. Coyer, j. Lcavitt, r. II. Neale, J. c.
Loyeoy, D. S. King, s Cobb, and c. Fors-.
ter.
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1846-03-19

ly thorough and comprehensive to promise sue
cess.
II. That to doubt whether the Gospel is able
to abolish slavery is to dsPdrage the power and
wisdom of Christ
Is. That our Christian brethren in other
countries do look, and have Alright to look to the
ministers and church-mcmbers of the United
States to see to it that the Gospel gains IFS prop
er honors in the abolition of slavery.
49, That slavery has continued too Icing, and
it is time it was abolished; that the Gospel ought
to abolish slavery and must abolish 1t; that min
listers and churches ought to be united ana
must be united, in this work, as they are IN the
Billie Society and that we must and will put
forth our best energies until it is done.
PLEDGE.
Holding these several sentiments, we feel now
called upon, in the fear of God, and humby re-
lying on his aid to pledge ourselves to one an
other, to our cnslayed brethren, to our country,
and to God, that we will make active and per-
severing efforts for the speedy and peaceful abo-
ton of slavery a prominent part of our rell-
gious duty; that We will use every means and
bear every sacrifice fer it which wisdom dictates
and religion sanctions; that we will suspend or
postpone other cherished objects which may
stand in the way of this; that we will act togeth
er as brethren, so fan as we are agreed on this
subject leaving all that is past to be settled be-
tween each individual and his Maker; that we
will make the cause of Emancipation our own
cause, and labor i'll it as God may give us abll-
ty and opportunity, whoever else may help or
hinder, and whatever any others may do or leave
undone, for or against it that we will never con-
slider enough done while more remains which
we can do; but will do all that is lawfully in our
power, individually and collectively, in every
capacity and relation, expecting to do contlnu-
ally more and more, until the letters are knock
ed from the the limbs of the last slave in our
country, and the honor of the Gospel is fully
