In 1830 it was a million Irilcs. The scolTcr says tliat it CONSCIOUSNESS AND SLAVERY 99 very soon became apparent that slavery was a divine institution. While this was the state of affairs in the South, the more violent aboli- tionists were taking the church to task in the North. Some of them left the church because they could not find that Jesus or the Old or New Testament distinctly forbade slavery. Others left because the churches would not openly espouse their cause, and liiany of the wealt...hy conservative people threatened to leave if the church got mixed up in what they claimed to be a political discussion and question. In a subsequent chapter the relation of the church to evolution in morals will be treated. It is not necessary to say whether the North or the South was right. Nor do we need to- day to go into the merits of the much-debated question, as to whether or not the Bible was in favor of slavery. To the oft repeated and in- geniously put arguments of Southern divines, the North had its reply; and a passage from Hunger's " Freedom of Faith " may be given, which, while it appeared long after slavery became a dead issue, expresses in felicitous language the spirit of the rejoinder of North- ern Christians to their brethren of the South : 430712 lUO Till': VlllllSTIAN CONSCIOUSNESS '' Humanly speaking, slavery could not be kept out of the Hebrew counnon wealth ; it was too early in the history of the ^^■u^kl ; but it was hedged about by strenuous laws, all merciful in their character, and of such a nature in their operation that slave-holding became unprofit- able, and the system died out.
