The Anti-Slavery Examiner, Part 2 of 4

CHAPTER III
286/620

Respectfully yours, W.FISK "SO THEY WRAP [SNARL] IT UP." What are we taught here?
That in the ecclesiastical organizations which grew up under the hands of the apostles, slavery was admitted as a relation, that did not violate the Christian faith; that the relation may now in like manner exist; that "the abuse of it is the essential and fundamental wrong;" and, of course, that American Christians may hold their own brethren in slavery without incurring guilt or inflicting injury.

Thus according to Prof.Stuart, Jesus Christ has not a word to say against "the peculiar institutions" of the South.

If our brethren there do not "abuse" the privilege of exacting unpaid labor, they may multiply their slaves to their hearts' content, without exposing themselves to the frown of the Savior or laying their Christian character open to the least suspicion.

Could any trafficker in human flesh ask for greater latitude?
And to such doctrines, Dr.Fisk eagerly aid earnestly subscribes.

He goes further.
