comprehends no more than an earnest and
heartfelt recognition Of the Slave as our
Brother, and the faithful performance Of the
duties springing from that relation, and en-.
forced in that precept of Jesus which de-

them"
3. Resolved, Tha, we hereby reaffrm our
conviction, that American Slavery, whatever
disguise it may assume, and by whatever
name its votaries and apologists may 5ap-
tie it, is an atIocious crime against God
and humanity and that if as they affirm,

from above, bu, from beneath, and worthy
not Of the reverence, but the execration OF
mankind.
4. Resolved, That there can be no higher

5. That the ministers and sects of our land
which either sanction or apologize for Slave
ry, or which refuse or neglect TO adopt ear
nc st and vigorous efforts 10 break the chains
Of the Slave, are in6del TO the highest and
J hottest law of God, false alike 10 humanity
and Christ, and filled with the spirit of Athe-
ism and that 10 call such a Ministry and
such a Church Christian, would be TO put
darkness for light, falsehood for truth, and sin
L. for holiness, thereby insulting the common
sense of mankind, and provoking The ~displea.
sure Of Heaven.
. 6. Resolved, That the infdelity against
which the Bible Lao inches its severesi denun.
Citations, consists not in the denial Of any Sec
i tartan dogma or shibboleth, nor in the failure
to observe any outward rite or ceremony, but
in a practical rejection Of the great law Of
Human Brotherhood, a neglect of the claims
lie of suffering humanity, stopping the ear and
hardening the heart TO the cries Of the OPP
O pressed and refusing 10 aid in breaking their
chains.

a covenant between Shareholders and non.
Shareholders, an alliance between communal
ties cherishing the crime Of Slavery and
