The same writer sent to the Corresponding Secretary the following
"Warning to Slave-holders." At the time these documents were received,
Slaveholders were never more defiant. The right to trample on the weak
in oppression was indisputable. "Cinnamon and odors, and ointments, and
frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour and wheat, and beasts,
and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men,"
slave-holders believed doubtless were theirs by Divine Right. Little
dreaming that in less than three short years--"Therefore shall her
plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine." In view of
the marvelous changes which have been wrought by the hand of the
Almighty, this warning to slave-holders from one who felt the sting of
Slavery, as evincing a particular phase of simple faith and Christian
charity is entitled to a place in these records.
