There is nothing to fear from immediate Emancipation, but every thing from the continuance of slavery.
What can I say more, my friends, to induce you to set your hands, and heads, and hearts, to this great work of justice and mercy.
Perhaps you have feared the consequences of immediate Emancipation, and been frightened by all those dreadful prophecies of rebellion, bloodshed and murder, which have been uttered.
I have endeavoured to set before you the exceeding sinfulness of slavery, and to point you to the example of those noble women who have been raised up in the church to effect great revolutions, and to suffer for the truth's sake.
