And here The first striking simiAtily thai pre-

they the masters aie doing right in holding
them IN bondage, assisting God to fulfill his
prdphesy on The desceDdanis Of Canaan, which
prophesy they think God would b. unlb!e TO

would leach them that 'bc slaves in The Uni,
ted States are uilhe descendants uf Canaan,
AMI ihatif they were, they the masters have
mol the Delegated right 10 bod taetn as slaves,
which rlgll' could only be proven by wedu-
cling bill Of sale from The Almighty. We
| lathm tha, nothing short Of This can give a
right to any nIan 10 hold asa slave and lra6C
ln his fellow man. Now, as we have before
stated, that robbery ia taking from man bis
money or property without giving lin any
thing in return.
And that selling man whiskcy is worse
'lan robbery because j, gives him that which
is worse than nothing, Or that which has a
tendency 10 injnIe him in reiutn for his
money. So slavery is robbery, il is also
worse Than rnbbery, and it is fuIlhe, the aorst
kind Of rubicrv, The robbety Of God and nlan.
Becausc il not only rObs man Of his proper,
~ without giving hpn anything in return for
! It. Which is robbery, But il also IoIs hiul
Of his wife oi his bosom, and The children
which God has gwen him. Which is worse
than property robbery. Aud as If this is not
sufficient to capIhe climax of crime. il goes
one step riher and robs the man Of himselG If.
and God Of his creature whun he has c,ea
Ited. And aAif this ctine was not sufficient
Of ITSELF 10 dunn him 10 lhe Invest hell, he
ii presu;npluns enough to cain The right So
to dn tromra just God aud the SANCTIONS Of
his holy word. .,..-...,..
