They seemed almost as unconcerned about our getting to heaven, as they were about our getting out of slavery.

To this general charge there was one exception--the Rev.GEORGE COOKMAN.

Unlike Rev.Messrs.Storks, Ewry, Hickey, Humphrey and Cooper (all whom were on the St.Michael's circuit) he kindly took an interest in our temporal and spiritual welfare.

Our souls and our bodies were all alike sacred in his sight; and he really had a good deal of genuine anti-slavery feeling mingled with his colonization ideas.

There was not a slave in our neighborhood that did not love, and almost venerate, Mr.Cookman.It was pretty generally believed that he had been chiefly instrumental in bringing one of the largest slaveholders--Mr.Samuel Harrison--in that neighborhood, to emancipate all his slaves, and, indeed, the general impression was, that Mr.Cookman had labored faithfully with slaveholders, whenever he met them, to induce them to emancipate their bondmen, and that he did this as a religious duty.
