Where or when, or on what occasion he
spoke them, we arc not informed but
certain it is, that Paul has borne false wit
ness, or that Jesus Christ has uttered the
words that impose an obligation on SER
wants, who are ahiect slaves, to render ser
vice with good will from the heart, to be-
lieving masters, and to account their un-
believing masters as worthy Of all honor,
that the name Of God and his doctrine be
not blasphemed. Jesus Christ revealed to
Paul the doctrine which Paul has settled
through the Gentle world, (and by conse-
qucnce, the Jewish world Also on the
subject of slavery, so far as it affects his
kingdom. AS we have seen, it is clear
and full.
From the great importance of the sub
ject, involving the personal liberty of half
the human race at that time, and large
portion Of them at all times since, it is no,
TO be wondered at, that Paul would carry
the questida to the Savior, and plead for
decisive expression of his will, that would
forever do away the necessity of interring
anything by reasoning from the premises

Jewish constitution, was designed princi-
pally, not to enlarge the number, but to
ameliorate the condition of the slaves in /
the neighboring nations.
Under the Gospel. it has brought within
the range of Gospel influence, millions OF
Hams defendants among ourselves, who. !
but for this institution. would have sunk
down to eternal ruin, knowing not God,
strangers to the Gospel. In their bondage
here on earth, they have been much better
provided for, and great multitudes of them
have been made the freemen Of the Lord
Jesus Christ, and left this world re ;oicing
in hope of the glory Of God. The ele-
ments of an empire, which hope will lead
Ethiopia very soon to streach out her hands
to God, is the fruit Of the institution here.
An officious meddling with the institution,
from feelings and sentiment unknown to
the Bible, may lead to the determination
Of the slave race among us, who, taken as
whole, are utterly unprepared for high
er civil state; but benefit them, it cannot.
Their condition, as a class, is now better
than that of any other equal number of la
borers on earth, and is daily improving.
If the Bible is allowed to awaken the
spirit, and control the philanthropy which
works their good, the day is not far distant
when the highest wishes Of saints will be
gratifed, in having conferred on them all
that the spirit of goodwill can bcstow.-
This spirit which was kindling into life,
has received great check among US Of
late, by that trait which the Apostle Peter
reproves and shames in his officious coun-
trymen. when he says: "But let none OF
you suffer as murderer, or as a theft, or
as an evil doer, or as a busy-body III other
mems matters" Our citizens have been
murdercd-our property has been stolen;
(if the receiver is as bad as the thief, y
our lives have been put in jeopardy-our
characters traduced-and attempts made
to force political slavery upon us in the
place of domestic, by strangers who have
no right to NEEDLE with our matters. In
stead Of meditating generous things to our
slaves, as return for Gospel subordina-
ton. we have to put on our armor to sup
press rebelhous spirit, ,engendered by
''false doctrine" propagated by men 'ot
corrupt minds, and destitute OF the truth v
who teach them that the gain of freedom
to the slave, is the only proof of godliness
in the master. From such, Paul says we
must withdraw ourselves; and if we fail to
do it, and to rebuke them with all the au.
thority which 'the words Of our Lord Je-
sus Christ" confer, we shall be wanting in
duty to him, to ourselves, and to the
world.
