"I perfectly agree with a writer of respectable authority, in
considering the institution of Caste as the most formidable engine
that was ever invented for perpetuating the subjugation of men: so
that, as a friend of humanity only, I should feel myself bound to
protest against and oppose it; but in particular as a Christian,
I deem it my obvious and imperative duty wholly to discountenance
it, conceiving it to be utterly repugnant to all the principles and
the whole spirit of Christianity. He who is prepared to support the
system of Caste is, in my judgment, neither a true friend of man
nor a consistent follower of Christ."
