Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Antidote to Rev. H. J. Van Dyke´s Pro-Slavery Discourse: Delivered in the M. E. Church, Mount Vernon, New York, on Sunday, January 13, 1861 Is. v: 20. "Woe unto them that call evil good: (Heb.: that say concerning evil, it is good:) that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter." Surely, the condemnation of the text was never more fully deserved by any, than by those "blind leaders of the blind," who, in this age and day of Gospel light and influence, have lifted up their voice, in the pulpit of the church of God, to defend, and attempt to cover with the sanction of divine enactments, that which is the condensation of barbarism, the only remaining relic and last vestige of an odious institution, founded in iniquity and perpetuated in fraud, and an utter disregard of all the holy claims of humanity - American slavery! We propose to discuss the sermon of the Rev. Henry J. Van Dyke, of Brooklyn, preached in his church on Sabbath evening, December 9th last, 1860, on "The Character and Influence of Abolitionism," in which Slavery - American slavery - is lauded as a divine institution, and lifted to the high position of an appointed agency in the salvation of the human race. This we deny. And we accept the "sublime challenge" and appeal against him, "to the law and the testimony." "We are not blind devotees, to bow down to the dictation of any man. We acknowledge in this place but one standard of morals, but one authoritative and infallible rule of faith and practice - the Bible." From that book of God, wherein we are taught the precept of the Golden Rule, "As ye would have others do to you, do ye even so to them," that "this is acceptable unto God," "to break the bands of the oppressed," the Rev. Mr, Van Dyke attempts to draw his proofs in defense of a vile system of slavery, "the sum of all villanies."
