But God can easily advance the question from tins low
and selfish level 90 the point OF freedom Tor the en-
slayed and we trust tins is what He will do For we
believe that with God the Of all The overtnrDing
and upheaving in that country is just this: that the
time fer the redemption Of the slave is drawing nigh,
