There Is No Safety Where There Is

It [slavery] Has Exercised Absolute Mastery Over The American Church. . . . With The Bible In Their Hands, Her Priesthood Have Attempted To Prove That Slavery Came Down From God Out Of Heaven. They Have Become Slaveholders And Dealers In Human Flesh.

The Sabbath, As Now Recognized And Enforced, Is One Of The Main Pillars Of Priestcraft And Superstition, And The Stronghold Of A Merely Ceremonial Religion.

I Will Be As Harsh As Truth, And Uncompromising As Justice... I Am In Earnest, I Will Not Equivocate, I Will Not Excuse, I Will Not Retreat A Single Inch, And I Will Be Heard.

What Shall Be Said, Then, Of Those Who Insist Upon Ignoring The Question Of Slavery As Not Involved In This Deadly Feud, And Maintain That The Only Issue Is, The Support Of The Government And The Preservation Of The Union? Surely, They Are "fools And Blind"; For It Is Slaveholders Alone Who Have Conspired To Seize The One, And Overturn The Other. As Long As The Enslavement Of A Single Human Being Is Sanctioned In The Land, The Curse Of God Will Rest Upon It.

Better To Be Always In A Minority Of One With God - Branded As Madman, Incendiary, Fanatic, Heretic, Infidel - Frowned Upon By "the Powers That Be," And Mobbed By The Populace - Or Consigned Ignominiously To The Gallows, Like Him Whose "soul Is Marching On," Though His "body Lies Mouldering In The Grave," Or Burnt To Ashes At The Stake Like Wickliffe, Or Nailed To The Cross Like Him Who "gave Himself For The World," - In Defence Of The Right, Than Like Herod, Having The Shouts Of A Multitude Crying, "it Is The Voice Of A God, And Not Of A Man!"
