The gospel of slavery : a primer of freedom . G Stands for Qospel, How beautiful areThe feet of the bearer of news from afar,When coming to touch a humanity-chordAnd preach the acceptable year of the Lord!Set free the scourged bondman, now branded and sore,And write him a freeman, a man whom a family closely may draw.—Or if the Good Gospel be Slavery Law,Tlie clergy, for aught that to reason appears,Might honestly prosper as Slave Auctioneers! Why not ? Disrespect is intended for such clergymen only asput Southern Slavery on Bible grounds. They might sellbooks, shoes, horses, by public outcry, and feel no shame ofsin. If the Gospel endorses colored peojole as property, whyshould the clergy scruple to be Slave-Auctioneers ? BishopHopkins, of Vermont, might do a thriving business in that line,down South. Doubtless he is popular in that region, andwould be largely patronized!.
