How Slavery Makes Infidels
HOW TO MAKE INFIDELS.—The profound silence of many of our churches, missionary enterprises, Sunday school unions, and tract societies, on one of the greatest sins of the age, has been the cause of much rebuke and open blasphemy! What must an eagle-eyed world of sinners think and say to see such men as Rev. N. Adams, an advocate of “the sum of all villanies,” placed on the executive committee of the American Tract Society! And such men as Judge O’Neil, a wicked, cruel, inveterate slaveholder, chosen as vice-president of the American Bible Society! The Zion’s Herald alluding to these facts, says: “This discussion is of grave import. Much of the Christianity in this country is weakened and crippled. A religion that dares not rebuke stealing, adultery, and blasphemy, under the general name of slavery, is a whited sepulchre, and is in alliance with the bitterest foes of Christ. If the American Tract Society, through a squeamish conservatism, a most unmartyr-like fear and liberalism has been betrayed into this sin, let it repent, and bring forth works meet for repentance.”—Golden Rule.
