Who labored assiduously to keep the sufferings of the slave continually before the British public?
So far from thinking slavery a sin, or that I had no right to own the slaves inherited from my father, I thought no one could venture to dispute that right, any more than he could my right to his land or his stock.
No station or character can destroy individual responsibility, in the matter of reproving sin.
I shall never forget my feelings when the subject was first hit upon in the Evangelist.
