6: 3 — 5. This, sir, was the ''testimony" of an inspired Apostle, " against the immorali- ty" of abolition agitation in his day— against the principle of ecclesiastical interference in the affairs of the State. It was then the doctrine of Christ, a doctrine " after godli- ness, " that the Gospel claims no right to dis- turb the relation of master and slave, as an existing civil institution — that complicity with this civil institution created no prejudice against one's Christian character, and ...con- stituted no disability for church membership. Now, sir, is the metaphysical dogma of " in- trinsio right and wrong" — for whose protec- tion there seems to be a special invocation of our guardianship at present — to be assumed as the " doctrine of our Church ?" Be it so. Then the relation of master and slave, thus sustained by apostolic teaching, was either "intrinsically right or wrong, '' If it was intrinsically right, then the recognition of it by the Apostles was itself right.
