Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Discourse on Christian Politics: Delivered in Williams Hall, Boston, on Whitsunday, June 4, 1854 Is true freedom but to break Fetters for our own dear sake, And with leathern hearts forget That we owe mankind a debt? No! true freedom is to share All the chains our brothers wear, And with heart and hand to be Earnest to make others free! They are slaves, who fear to speak For the fallen and the weak; They are slaves, who will not choose Hatred, scoffing, and abuse, Rather than, in silence, shrink From the truth they needs must think; They are slaves, who dare not be In the right with two or three. VII. Sermon. Lamentations, Chapter II. 15, 9. Is this the city that men call The perfection of beauty, the joy of the whole earth? Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars; her king and her princes are among the Gentiles; the law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from the Lord. I have invited you here this morning to meditate on the events of the week; the phenomenon which has occurred in the streets of Boston. The Slave Power, which has triumphed in Congress over the Rights of the North, which has violated sacred compacts, and broken contracts after having taken its own share of the consideration, has come North to Boston, has taken possession of our Court House, of our City Government, our whole Police force, our whole Military force, and suspended and interrupted the business of our citizens until its demands could be satisfied.
