The old testament, appesn 70 be
a history Of war, during thousands Of
years, aud oil these bloody scenes
therein recorded, were Of Gods direc-
ton, and sanctioned by his blessing.
God who rules the work in righteous
ness and wisdom, aces the end from
the beginning willie poor earthly
mortals, are striving to be more just
than their maker.
War however ought to be avoided
rs much as possible, tho it appears
to be IN ordination Of heaven. to Sc.
cure our just claims, preserve and
maintain our national and individual
, rights, as in the cas-, Of the Patriarch
Abraham.
The holding Of bond mon and
bond women" in scrvitude, though
clearly and expressly appreciated by
the law of God, is urged by orr lead
ing diviLes, as q wicked and unius
law, that ought to be erased from tn,
sacred pages Of our billcs. Notwith
standing God, by the mouth Of hi
prophet Moses, said that they SHOULD
) take from the heather round abou
I them, and they should become thci
servants, and an Inheritance to thei
children forever But those ,,iou
men who are striving to put down Thu
divine institution, as unjust and wick
ed. seem not to "sce the end from

f and astonishing plan Of the creator i,
civilizing and outstanding that dark

proach formerly do not those piou
; fanatics now see the finger of God il
' all this, by them termed wickcdncss
and that there are already four hun
dred thousand converts to christianit
among the slaves, and millions NOR
civilized Missionaries Of their ow
:, blood are now gone forth to proclait
:, the gospel OF salvation, to that benign
:. ed corner of the earth. This, all
r much more good has brought abou
f by divine agency, and still there ar
,, those who are bold enough to pre
# nouuce the effects Of this great pla

It and are striving against their make
J. and say, Goods ways are not equal.
II Christ honored this law, and tauyl
obedience to it. His language was

" Exhort servants to be obedient /
