Guar. viii, And when Jesss was entered IN
to Capernaum, there came unto him centurion
beseeching him.
& And saying, Lord my servant lcth at home
sick of the palsy gricvously tormcnted.
I And Jesus said unto him, will come and
heal him.
s The centurion answered and said, am not
worthy that thou shouldst come under my roof ;
but speak the word only, and my servant shall
be healed.
| 9 For am man under authority, having sol
diers under me : and | say to this man, Go, and
! he goeth and to another, come, and he comcth ;
and to my servant, DO this, and he doetll it.
10 When Jesus heard it he maryclcd, and said
unto them that followed, Verify say unto you,
have not found so great faith. no, not in lsra ell.
l3 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go
thy way: and as thou hast believed, so it be done
unto thee. And his servant was healed in the
sclf-samc hour.
CHAR. xviii, % Therefore is the kingdom of
heaven likened unto sertain king which would
| take account of his servants.
| "a And when he had begun to recken, one was
brought unto him which owed him ten thousand
talents.
2j But forasmuch as he had not pay, his lord
comm .nded him to bo sod and his wife and chill
dren, and all that ho had, and payment to be
made.
oG Tho sa-u.-. therefore ieI down, ana wor-
shipped him saying, Lord, have patience with
me, and l will pay the all
q Then the lord Of that scrvan. was moved
with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave
him the debt.
2S But the same servant went out, and found
one of his fellow servants, which owed him an
hundred pence and he laid hands on him, and
took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou
owest.
% And his fellow servant fell down at bis feet,
and hesought him saying, Have patience with me,
and will pay the all.
80 And he would not but went and cast him
into prison, till he should pay the debt.
81 So when his lellow-seryants saw what was
done, they were very sorry, and came ana told
unto their lord all that was done.
80 Then his lord, after that he had called him,
said unto him, o thou wicked servant, torgaye
thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me
33 Shouldest not thou also have had compass
sion on thy fellow-servant, even rs L had pity on
thee
a And his lord wa. wroth and delivered him
to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was
due unto him.
This parable of our Saviour proves conclusive
lv that slavery existed among the people he was
addressing as it was his rule in presenting
divine truth by parable TO illustrate it by some
subject matter with which the people was famil-
lar. as in the case Of the vineyard, Matt. Xxx.
Luke
Cu,r. vii. . And a certain centuron's SER
want who was dear unto him, was sick, and
ready to die.
3 And when he heard Of Jesus, he sent unto
him the elders of the Jews, bcseeching him that
he'would come and heal his servant.
4 And when they came to Jesus they besought
him instantly, saying, That lie wa, worthy Tor
whom he should do this:
5 For he loved our nation, und he nath Duiit
us q synagogue.
G Then Jesus went with them. And when he
was now not far from the house, the centurion
sent friends to him. saying unto nm; LORD,
trouble not thyself; for am not worthy that
thou shouldest enter Under my my roof:
Wherefore neither thought myself worthy
to come INTO thee but say in a word, and my
servant shall be healed.
3 For | am q man set under authority, having
under me soldiers, and say unto one, Go, ana
he coetb to another, Come, and he cometh ; and
to nv servant, Do this, and he docth it.
When Jesus heard these things, he marve!ed
Mt him. and turned him about and said unto the
people that followed him, say unto you | have
not found SO great faith, no, not IN Israel.
1t was we'll said by Britton in the Senate OF
Texas. at the session of 1878, in debate on
the slavery ouesti n that this declaration OF our
Saviour. :: | hare not found so great faith, no,
,ot in Israel" was higher compliment paid by
Christ TO this slavcholding centurion than was
ever paid to any man North of Mason and Dix
ans line Let it not be said the sick servant was
colder and not servant, for the centurion said:
~ Sl.. For | am q man set under authority, !
having under me soldiers, and say unto one,
Go. and he gOeth: and to another, Come, and
he cometh and to my SERVANT, DO hi' and
he doeth it," Language cannot be plainer.-
NJ abstraction between other classes and servants
is indisputable.

his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy
