O! the deep, DEEP injury which such unfaithful ministers have inflicted on the South!
If Prophets and Apostles, Martyrs, and Reformers had not been willing to suffer for the truth's sake, where would the world have been now?
The women of the South can overthrow this horrible system of oppression and cruelty, licentiousness and wrong.
The fact is, we need no excuse for not going to the South, so long as the North is as deeply involved in the guilt of slavery as she is, and as blind to her duty.
