Excerpt from Slavery in Its Relation to God: A Review of Rev. Dr. Lord's Thanksgiving Sermon, in Favor of Domestic Slavery, Entitled the Higher Law, in Its Application to the Fugitive Slave BillThis is a singular Sermon. It is not singular, indeed, in the gramma tical sense of that word, for many such, we are told, are making their appearance in these days of strange things. But it is remarkable in its doctrine and for the deliberate boldness with which a Christian minis ter stands up in the pulpit and avows sentiments so entirely discordant with the word of God, and so utterly antagonistic to the Spirit of Jesus Christ, who came into this world to bind up the broken-hearted, to pro claim liberty to the captives, and the Opening of the prison to them that are bound.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
