A. the relation of husband and wife has existed
ever 81 nee the CREATION Of the world the RELATION
of master and slave has existed since Noah
csme out Of the Ark and judging from the past
and the sacred record. suppose that both reations
or institutions will continue to exist tall the end o
the world Some hus Stands mistreat their wives
and some masters mistr-at thei- slaves. But u
some man should say because some hus lands abus'
their wives no gentleman" should marry, h'
would and should be treated with utter contempt
Both institutions have been sanctioned by the Gre
