Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The M. E. Church and Slavery The Anti-slavery men in the M. E. Church, occupy a very remarkable position at this time. A position which Christian men cannot occupy and be consistent, if all they say of their Church in her relation to slavery be correct. Their position cannot be defended from the word of God. Nay, rather the word of God plainly condemns it. Contemplating the pictures which they themselves have drawn of the M. E. Church, in her complicity with slavery, no one can, on any scriptural ground, account for these men remaining in her communion another day. In the entire absence of any more favorable light in which to estimate their motives, we are driven to the unpleasant conclusion, that they are governed more by the spirit of sectarianism and love of party in their present operations, than they are by the Spirit of Truth or the Bible. I say not this to give offence. I would not judge these brethren harshly. They, however, have laid themselves liable to such insinuations, or to the equally discreditable one, that the directions given in the Bible in relation to the moral ground they occupy as Christian men, is wholly set aside by them; and that they have adopted instead thereof, the tricks and traps of political parties as promising greater, and more permanent success than can be hoped for by pursuing the course pointed out in the word of God.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Slavery in the Methodist Episcopal Church Sometime last winter we read an essay before the Cortland District Theological Association on the subject of church-slavery; a copy of which was solicited for the columns of the Northern Christian Ad vocate, and accordingly sent to the office of that paper. But as the Editor declined giving it to his readers, on account, as he said, of the severity of the style, and the darkness of the picture it drew of the church; it occurred to us that we might as well expand it into a small volume, and publish it into a more permanent form. He did indeed consent to admit it upon the condition that we would modify it somewhat in those points which he deemed exceptionable; but feeling that the proposed change, though it might improve the mo twre, would destroy the likeness, we could not make up our mind to do it.

To the in uence of this direction, may doubtless be imputed a large proportion of that ungodliness which debases and curses the whole mass of soci ety where slavery developes its demoralizing power. The female slaves are exhorted to obey the commands of their masters! These extracts are cited from their book of doctrines and discipline; and yet where can you find a parallel to such duplicity and abandonment 'of truth, rectitude and reli gion, as in these facts?

Download or read book An Appeal to the Methodist Episcopal Church Classic Reprint written by Orange Scott and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-01-26 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Appeal to the Methodist Episcopal Church The anti-slavery discussion forms a new era in the history of the M. E. Church. The principal facts and arguments connected with this discussion, should have a more permanent existence than that of newspaper articles; and I, doubt not, the time will come, when a repository containing such matters will be highly valued. The Wesleyan anti-slavery Review will be published again in 1839 and 1840, unless some unforeseen circumstance should prevent it. The present number contains matter enough to fill a common sized octavo volume of from 300 to 400 pages. The publication of this work was not deter mined upon till a short time before it was commenced. Should it be continued, more attention will be paid to future numbers. The next number will contain more matter of general interest, though it will be suited to the discussion in the M. E. Church. The history of this discussion will be continued in future num bers, and new and important topics will be introduced. Two numbers more will make a volume of about 450 pages, which will con tain more matter than two common sized octavo volumes of 500 pages each. Such a volume will be of consequence hereafter. Those who wish for the work complete, will do well to preserve this, as they may not be able to obtain it hereafter.

Church: Being an Examination of Her Connection With Slavery, and Also of Her Form of Government The Bishops have never remonstrated against the course of those conferences which have neglected to call these advocates 'of slavery to an account nor have they evenattempted to transfer these men to' other conferences to be dealt'with, which they claim the nwer and right to do; but on the other hand, they put the dress u'tions 'by which the conferences pronounced slavery to be right, which they claim not to be legally bound to put, and for the sentiments of which resolutions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from From Slavery to a Bishopric: Or the Life of Bishop Walter Hawkins of the British Methodist Episcopal Church Canada I undertake this work, because I think it will probably act as a stimulus to the young men of my race, who, though physically free, have not yet realised the duty they owe to themselves, and to humanity at large, and especially to the British public, to whom I feel we owe a great debt of gratitude for leading the way for our emancipation in the New World. My experience in England has led me to think that many are somewhat disappointed that the Negro, from whom they expected so much fifty or sixty years ago, has not come up to their expectations, t.e., he has not improved his position quite as quickly as they feel he ought to have done. In this book I hope to set forth what Europeans well know: viz., that there is not a single nation in Europe who could have done more for itself, in the same time and under similar circumstances, than our race: they have expected too much of us, with far less Opportunities. Besides, it is all very well to tell people what they ought to do, but it is quite another thing to give them the opportunity of doing.1st. We cannot expect much from a people who had to start an existence upon nothing, like the West Indian Negroes.

I Wish to ask several questions ra specting the M. E. Church and slavery; but before I do this, I Wish to know some thing about the views of Mr. Wesley and his followersin England. The slave trade was extensively earned on during the Whole of Mr. Wesley' s life. Christians were generally asleep on the subject and many professors of religion and some min isters of the gospel were extensively en gaged in the atrocious business of the slave trade, even at the time of Mr. Vvesley's death, and for some years afterward.
