Senator Jones Attack on the Saviour.
To the Editor of THE REPUBLICAN
What need for Senator Jones, of Flor
ida, to pervert the Scriptures and the Saviour's
teachings to bolster up oppression in the past in
the South? Heasserts that the Saviour never spoke
against oppression. So far from that being the
case about the very first sermon He preached was
against oppression, and i'll consequence He was
mobbed by those who disbelieved in the equality
of man, Just as men were mObbed in this country
for teaching the same doctrine. About the first
sermon He preached was from the text isaiah l. !
l-2J which proclaimed that He had come to preach |
good uding, to bind up the broken hearted, to !
proclaim liberty to the captive, and opening !
the prison door to the bound-to proclaim the |
acceptable year of the Lord. And because He |
then preached liberty and equality and that !
God looked with favor upon the humbleSt classes, !
the believers in that day in the right of the strong
to Cypress the weak rose upon and thrust him out
of the Synagogue took him to the brow of the hill /
TO cast him from thence: but he escaped by mir |
acle. And any man who ever attempted to preach /
from the same text luke, w.. 1919 in Senator !
Jones State or any other Slave State would have /
Jared equally bad, or worse. The whole tenor of |
the SaviOur'S teachings was to carry out the doc :
trne promulgated before his day in Mosaic teach
ings, and sanctioned by our revolutionary fathers /
by its inscription the Old liberty bill: &" Pro /
claim liberty throughout all the land, unto all the |
inhabitants thereof" If Senator Jones never read
the text above referred TO he may have heard the /
command, "DO unto others you would have !
others do unto YOU" Would that justify slavery? |
As to slavery in jerusalem there little, if any,
in the SaYiOur'S day. S.
