of extreme terror; all great merchants and wealthy residents in
the first instance being afraid lest they might incur the risk of
being found guilty of a statutory offence, whilst the poor and low
class people, in the second instance, feared being deprived of a
means to preserve their lives (by selling children to be domestic
servants)."
These petitioners claimed:
That the buying of boys for "adoption" and of girls for domestic
servitude, "widely differs from the above-mentioned wicked
practices" of kidnaping and buying and selling of girls into
brothels.
That the domestic slaves "are allowed to take their ease and have
no hard work to perform," and when they grow up, "they have to be
given in marriage."
That all former Governors had let them alone in the exercise of
their "social customs."
That Governor Elliott had promised them freedom in the exercise of
their native customs.
That infanticide "would be extremely increased if it were entirely
forbidden to dispose of children by buying and selling;" parents
deprived of the means of keeping off starvation by selling their
children would "drift into thiefdom and brigandage."
Following the petition was an elaborate statement on the subject,
full of subtle arguments, misstatements and perversions, together, of
course, with some well-put statements, forming ten propositions in
favor of domestic slavery. Their first claim is not exactly true, as
even Dr. Eitel, w |

in Jerusalem and joy in my people; and the voice of
weeping shall no more be heard in her, nor the voice of crying.
"Before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will
hear. The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat
straw like the bullock; and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not
hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain."
Is. 56:3: "Thus saith the Lord, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my
salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
"Blessed is the man that doeth this, that keepeth the Sabbath, and keepeth
his hand from doing any evil.
"Neither let the strangers that have joined themselves to me, say, God will
separate me from His people. For thus saith the Lord: Whoever will keep my
Sabbath, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;
even unto them will I give in mine house a place and a name better than that
of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall
not be cut off."
Is. 59:9: "Therefore for our iniquities is justice far from us: we wait for
light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness. We
grope for the wall like the blind; we stumble at noonday as in the night: we
are in desolate places as dead men.
"We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves; we look for judgment,
but there is none; for salvation, but it is far from us."
Is. 66:18: "But I know their works and their thoughts; it shall come that I
will gather all nations and tongues, and they shall see my glory.
"And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them
unto the nations, to Africa, to Lydia, to Italy, to Greece, and to the
people that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory. And they
shall bring your brethren.

time,
and this government is pleasant and voluntary; that founded on might lasts
for ever. Thus opinion is the queen of the world, but might is its tyrant.
312. Justice is what is established; and thus all our established laws will
necessarily be regarded as just without examination, since they are
established.
313. Sound opinions of the people.--Civil wars are the greatest of evils.
They are inevitable, if we wish to reward desert; for all will say they are
deserving. The evil we have to fear from a fool who succeeds by right of
birth, is neither so great nor so sure.
314. God has created all for Himself. He has bestowed upon Himself the power
of pain and pleasure.
You can apply it to God, or to yourself. If to God, the Gospel is the rule.
If to yourself, you will take the place of God. As God is surrounded by
persons full of charity, who ask of Him the blessings of charity that are in
His power, so... recognise, then, and learn that you are only a king of
lust, and take the ways of lust.
315. The reason of effects.--It is wonderful that men would not have me
honour a man clothed in brocade and followed by seven or eight lackeys! Why!
He will have m |
