Book Description
Excerpt from Relation of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions to Slavery Resolved, That this Board rejoice and give praise to Almighty God for that increase of Christian activity which is seen in the various institutions established during the last forty years for the prevention of Sin in all its forms, and for removing from our guilty and suffering race the evils which sin occasions; that they especially rejoice in the progress of the temperance reform, and of the princi ples of peace among the nations of Christendom; and that their earnest prayer is, that all these associations may continue to labor with wisdom and energy, and that others may be organized to coop crate with them, until the institutions of Christian benevolence shall present a front as extended as the ravages of Sin; and, favored with guidance and power from on high, shall press forward in their joint labors to chase wickedness and misery from the earth. That the Board then chose also not only to acknowledge, but to cooperate with, reformatory institutions, appears from this statement, page 33 of the same Report.
