Albert Barnes

The Church and Slavery Albert Barnes

TioK There are times when it is important that every man, however humble may be his name, should express his views on great moral, po Htical, and relious subjects. Public sentiment is made up of a great number of individual opinions, as earth and ocean are made-up of a great number of individual particles of matter. The opinion of each individual contributes to form the public sentiment, as the labour of the animalcule in the ocean contributes to form the coral reefe that rise above the waves. Public sentiment controls our land; pub Uceentiment will ultimately control the World. All that error, tyranny, and oppression demand is a strong public sentiment in their favor; all that is necessary to counteract their influence is that public sentiment should be right. The present is eminently a time when the views of every man on the subject of slavery should be uttered in unambiguous tones.
