It is hard for the old slave holding spirit to die. But die it must.
Where there is so much racket there must be something out of kilter.
What we give to the poor, we lend to the Lord.
You have been having our rights so long, that you think, like a slave-holder, that you own us. I know that it is hard for one who has held the reins for so long to give up; it cuts like a knife. It will feel all the better when it closes up again.
Religion without humanity is very poor human stuff.
I am for keeping the thing going while things are stirring. Because if we wait till it is still, it will take a great while to get it going again.
