DURING THE CHRISTMAS WEEK OF 1906
This annual effort. having for its end the Adolf
ton of American Slavery, has been 50 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 as we arc that Slavery is II sin and s.
crime everywhere and under oil circumstance.
that all completely or conniyance with it implies
moral guilt Just in proportion 10 the extent OF the
sanction given, that consequently all political and
especially all religious fellowship with such ns!s
ten of denominations is cminenlly criminal aud
dangerous, it is our endeNSor to promulgatc tLt.e
sentiments, so far rs it may be in cur power,
throughout the whole length and breadth Ct tie
land.
We propose TO do this through the medium o
Newspapers, Lecturers and Tracts, ald we call
upon all who fear God or regard Man to give us
their sympathy and cooperation. Tho country is

e%quately for the accomplishment Of the great work
that lies before it, and, in too many cases, by what
poor and insufficient motives.

enwoven with every fibre Of commercial, political

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 oYc-
rate with it. Her members refuse to be concerned
in thc administration of n government cemcntet
with the blood OF slaves, or to recognize as churches
of Christ the apostate ecclesiastical bodies Of our
country, who consider as goods and chattcls per
sonal, subject to all the fluctuations that mark 9th
er property, the souls for which they profess to-
believe lie died. This is the Treason and this tbs
~lnfdel!ty that so convulscs our country. Whether
that country be destroyed or saved, we checrfullv
leave the character of the American Abolitionists
to the verdict of coming ages, believing that it will
then appear that Loyalty consisted in adhesion to
Righteousness and Faith, in the declaration tha
the Affairs of the Lord were not even as tlose' 0
Moloch.
We solicit correspondence, counsel and assistance
from all friends of the 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 faith
full account for the same at the close of our Under
taking.

mittee at 81 Cornhill, Boston, Mass, or to 1873
