NATIONAL ANTI-SLAVERY BAZAAR;
TO BE HELD IN BOSTON, MASS,
DUNNO TIE CHRISTNAS WEEK or 1888

This annual effort, having for its end the Adolf.
ton Of American Slavery, has been SO long before
the eyes Of the community that we feel prolonged
explanation in respect to it unnecessary. A very
simple statement will be sufficient for our purpose.
Convinced us We are that Slavery is sin and d
crime everywhere aud under all circumstances,
that all completely or connivance with it implies
moral quit just in proportion to the extent Of tho
sanction gwen, that consequently all political and
especially all religious fellow ship with such n sss,
TEN OF denominations is eminehtly criminal and
dangerous 1T is our cndeavor To promulgate these
sentiments, 50 far as it may he in our power.
throughout the whole length aud Lreadd, Of the
land.
We propose to DO this through the medium Of
Newspapers, Lecturers and Tracts, and we cali
upon all who fear God or rcgard Man to give us
their sympathy and cooperation. The county IA
stirred rs it never yet has been, bnt oil how mad
%cquately for the accomplishment Of the great work
that lies before it, and, in too many cases, by what
poor and insufficient motives,
Should American Slavery he abolished through
the force Of moral power II noblcr example will
have been given to the world than any previous
age has ever witnessed. 1t is in the Colonial pos
sessions Of Monarchial Governments that Slavery
has been abolished. We are laboring for its ex
tincticn in the midst Of Il great nation, where il is
cnwovcn with every hOre Of commercial, political
and religious life, and where, with unimportant
exceptions, every man is a voter. We do TO. allude
to these facts with any discouIaging purpose, but
only thai we may declare with convincing earnest
ness the necessity there exists for the PRONUNCIATION,
not of any halfway testimonies or diluted doctrine,
but for the truth in its entire efficiency, without
concealment and without compromise"
This great mission the American Anti Slavery
Society alone discharges, and therefore we co-ope-
rate with it. Her members refuse to be concerned
in the administration Of d government cehehted
with the blood Of slaves, or to recognize as churches
of Christ the apostate ecclesiastical bodies of our
country, who consider as goods and chattels per-
sonal, subject to all the fluctuations that mark 9th
or property, the souls for which they profess to
believe lie died. This is the Treason and this the
lnfdeIty that so convulses our country. Whether
that country be destroyed or saved, we cheerfully
Lease the character of the American Abolitionists
to the verdict of coming ages, believing that 1T will
then appear that Loyalty consisted in adhesion To-
Righteousness and Faith, in the declaration that
the Affairs Of the Lord were not even as those OF
Moloch,
Wes solicit correspondence, counsel and assistance
from all friends of tho Slave, whether at home or
in Europe, and we pledge ourselves to employ most
conscientiously whatever of influence or money
may be committed to our hands, and to make faithi
full account for the same at the close of our under
taking.
