Excerpt from Caste and Slavery in the American Church

The Jews would not willingly tread upon the smallest piece of paper in their way, but took it up, for possibly, said they, the name of God may be on it. Though there was a little superstition in this, yet truly there is nothing but good religion, if we apply it to Men. Trample not on any, there may be some work of grace there, that thou knowest not of. The name of God may be written on that soul thou treadest on, it may be a soul that Christ thought so much of as to give his precious blood for it, therefore despise it not.

What I feel deeply, deeply will I utter. Truth is not detraction, and assuredly we do not hate him to whom we tell the truth, but with whomsoever we play the deceiver and flatterer, him at the moment we despise.
