[The Anti-Slavery Examiner, Omnibus by American Anti-Slavery Society]@TWC D-Link bookThe Anti-Slavery Examiner, Omnibus INTRODUCTION 19/154
As we sat facing the congregation, we looked around upon the multitude to find the marks of those demoniac passions which are to strew carnage through our own country when its bondmen shall be made free.
The countenances gathered there, bore the traces of benevolence, of humility, of meekness, of docility, and reverence; and we felt, while looking on them, that the doers of justice to a wronged people "shall surely dwell in safety and be quiet from fear of evil." After the service, we visited the Sabbath school.
The superintendent was an interesting young colored man.
We attended the recitation of a Testament class of children of both sexes from eight to twelve.
They read, and answered numerous questions with great sprightliness. In the afternoon we attended the Episcopal church, of which the Rev. Robert Holberton is rector.
