most vociferous cheering by the rebel SOL

salute in honor OF the surrender and no

bic practical reply to tho arguments in

word on the subject Of slavery which
these books contain goes toward mitiga-
ting and lessning the power Of the master
and giving some comfort to the slave
And this, too, I know: That wherever
Christianity is the ruling religion, sla-
very has gone down, down, downt And
wherever people do not believe in the
Bible, but in the Tukish Koran, or in
some heathenish superstition, there
slavery is still As strong, and universal,
and deeply Fixed, as It yrs two thousand
years ago. Now oil your hypooritical
rebel parsons, with their texts about
Paul and Ouesimus, can't get over this
