Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sin of Slavery: A Discourse, First Preached in the N. S. Presbyterian Church, Rockford, Ill;, July 15th, 1860
And there are those professedly of the Christian Church that would take advantage of God's patience and forbearance toward those ancient sinners, to excuse the grossest acts of wickedness in this age of Gospel light.' We have proof, however, that Slavery was not among the Sins permitted even in those times of ignorance: but admit ting that itwas, I remark what every candid judgment must approve, that we are to gather God's will and law for four guidance not from the defects of his ancient children, nor from what in his forbearance he permitted them in their ignorance and hardness of heart, nor from his Special and temporary com-3 mands, as those requiring the destruction of the idolatrous, heathen but only from those precepts which express and accord with the great law of love to God and man which the Scrip: tures teach, and which is essentially of perpetual obligation.
