So lost the of justice that there IS no En-
ropean nation in which personal liberty is held OF little
value. How fallacious the common arguments for
Slavery! How would they be valued in Europe Take

no combination of circumstances is Slavery right snl the
law that makes man chattel slave should DC tranpet
under foot the church that consents to his enslavemen

Standard viii Won iulge the otheri Mr. Garrison here
to defend his peculiar views of Slavery and Vn
dictate a Garrisonan AboltOnsm. He continued: If
Slavery right why did you abolish il in this State in
1927 If AbOltionism is wrong, why do you let the Illus
