TWENTY SECOND
NATIONAL ANTI-SLAVERY BAZAAR.
TO DE- HELD IN BOSTON, MASS,
DURING THE CHRISTMAS WEEK or 1868.


This annual effort, having for It's end the Adolf
ton Of American Slavery, has been SO long before
the eyes Of tho community that We feel prolonged
explanation in respect TO it unnecessary. A very
simulc statement viii be sufficient for our purpose.
Convinced MS we are that Slavery is a sin and -
crime everywhere and under all circumstances.
that all completely or connivancc with it implies
moral guilt just in proportion 10 he extent of the
sanction given. that consequently oil political and
especially NIL religious fellowship with such q sys-
lem Of denominations is eminently criminal and
dangerous, it Is our endcayor to promulgate these
sentiments, so far ns it may be IN cur power,
throughout tho whole length aud breadth Of the
land.
We propose to do this through The medium Q
Newspapers, Lecturers and Tracts, and We call
upon all who fear God or regard Man to give Us
their sympathy and cooperation. The country Is
stirred as it never yet has been, bpt of, how mad
equately 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 be abolished through,
the force of moral power, a nobler example will
have been given to the world than any previous
ago has ever witnessed. 1t is III the Colonial pos.

has been abolished. 1t are laboring for ito e-
%tinction in the midst Of a great nation, where it is
cnwoyen with every Gbre Of commercial, political
and religious life, and where, with unimportant
exceptions, every man is a voter. We do not alludc
to these facts with any discouioging purpose, but
only thai we may declare with convincing earnest
ness the necessity there exists Cor the PRONUNCIATION.
6 not of any halfway testimonies or diluted doctrine,
but for the truth in its entire efficiency, "withou,
coneealmGnt and without compromise
i This great mission the American Anti Slavery
Society alone discharges, and therefore we eo-oYo-
e rate with It. Her members refuse to Le concerned

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
or property, the souls for which aey profess to
; believe lie died. This Is The Treason and llis tho
~Tnfdel.ty that SO conyulscs our country. Whether
that country be destroyed or saved, we checrfully
= 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 tie declaration lha
the Affairs of the Lord were not even as those q
Moloch.
