ABSTRACT

The man whose life is in entire opposition to the system of Christian ethics, has frequently been compelled, by the sincerest conviction, to acknowledge that this is the only pure, consistent, and / perfect system: that it, alone, develops and inculcates the principle by which the highest order and felicity can be produced among men, and throughout the universe of intelligent minds. Charity is imperishable as the divine nature; it is the light and life of Heaven, the glory which shines forth from the Everlasting Throne over all the habitations of the City of God. Christian villages and cities may adorn the whole line of coast: intervene, as with an impassable rampart, the parties in the slave trade, and dispel, by their blessed illuminations, the deep gloom of the interior.
