The Gospel took the surest means of overthrowing it when, letting 98 THE GOSPEL AND SLAVERY. alone the reform of institutions, it contented itself with pursuing that of sentiments ; when it thus prepared the time when the slaveholder himself would be forced to ask what is contained in the in- exhaustible saying : " What ye would that men should do unto you, do ye also unto them." Even in the heart of the Southern States, despite the triple covering of habits, prejudices, and interests, this say...ing is making its way, and is disturbing the consciences of the people much more than is gen- erally believed.

Is it to do to others as we would that they should do to us, to sell a family at retail ?
