Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Fugitive Slaves: A Sermon, Preached in the North Congregational Church, Winchendon, on the Day of the Annual Fast, April 11, 1850 I. This was one of the municipal laws of the Hebrews. It was undoubtedly enacted in accordance with the divine will, and it has been handed down to us by divine inspiration. But being a law for the Hebrews, it has no relation to us except so far as the principle on which it was founded is of general application. If, however, the law was based on a moral principle of universal extent, then we are bound to act according to it, although this particular enactment has never had a place in our statute book. Even the ten commandments were a part of the national law of the Hebrews, and their authority would have ceased ages ago, were it not for the fact that they are the expression of moral obligation, in all nations, and in all times. If we consult the opinions of commentators respecting this law, our surprise wilt be increased in proportion to the attention we may give to the subject. I know of scarcely a passage of Scripture which has been more grossly perverted from its true meaning, than the text. And yet there seems to be no necessity for the least misunderstanding. It reads plainly. How simple the terms in which it is expressed. "Thou shalt not deliver unto his master, the servant which is escaped from his master unto thee." The law is unlimited in its terms. It has no qualifications. Strictly interpreted, it applies to all servants whatsoever. Why then have writers on this point, ventured to qualify and limit this philanthropic enactment?
