Duty of the pulpit on slavery and the gospel
A sermon argues the pulpit must address slavery as essential to the gospel, condemning both the institution and its social effects. It urges ministers to discuss slavery, sacrifice party politics, defend religion’s progress, and treat slavery with the same gravity as other social evils. A brief comic anecdote about a boy and a misunderstanding follows.
