SLAVERY.

heA Consider cvtlon. of Some
ofTIie Points Raised tv
Mr. Tuttle.
cm
j n The sermon of Rev. D. H. Tut
tie has excited 89 much interest
i that perhaps a review of it and a
brief consideration -of the issue
raised will be timely.
The suDjecu 01 tne sermon is
Humatf Slavery and the Church,
Thefirst division discus the re
m m
Tation of the minister to party orl
ganization in politics. ' The con
clusion is that the. minister caaaot
be a party man.
The second division considers the
relation of the, church to Qhjist.
j The conclusion is that the church
"composed of human elements ; '
. ; Vmen have controlled the church ;
, raen have shaped its destiny?'
Hence a criticism of the church is
not a criticism of Christ.
. The third division considers
slavery in thetOld Testament. ihe
conclusion is that slavery prevailed
' generally.
' . Then follows the observation
that is the first century the Gos
pel was preached in Greece and
Rome, and that the relations of
the slave were not disturbed .
,;V The next thing is an account of
the introduction of
this immortality; and he used the
arm of the church when be forced
?Kt tojead a virtuous life.
Wi wai tfcU I vr 6Ai that
gave this great mia'a jgrrnanent
place in the heart of the churchy
The second form of slavery in
Bur.Vpe was Feudalism. Ih this
the people were divided into class
es and the lower classes weriia
complete subjection to the upper
classes -
-The overthrow of Feudalism cost
a great struggle. And in -this
struggle the church played a large
part on the side of freedom . Let
to? specify In Jfce Ecclesiastical
courts thf? aim rwas. to deal out of
divine juatifi. The peasant and
the baton stood IIw . to albow in
this court. ThsOtvUriginaaaxica
of tjns wxactice wbi profound.
Again, in the church life there was
no regard for titles. Baron, prince
and peasant bowed at the satne
altar and oonf eased the same sins.
Thus the' church insisted all the
time that in the deepest life all
men were absolutely on a level.
And to my mind this- profound
democratic doctrine preached
steadily by the church counted
more than any, other force in the
undermining of Feudalism
The third form of slavery was
of the intellect. The people ;o
Europe for centuries had do intel
lectual life . High dignitaries were
utterly ignorant . Otto I learned
slavery indfc to read after the death of his wife.
Europe and America. The Ca;th. The slavery here was even unto

The church of England encourage t$jt( rom the eighth to th4 flf
glavery. The Methodist church teenth" "century the fight against
declared against slavery in 1844. this intellectual death was carried
The Quakers were against slavery, on bv the church alone. Lanf ranc.
say ng that the church is the pro
duct of men. I think he ij wrong
in t aying that the destiny of the
jchxrch has bean shaped by men.
Tlit adequate interpretation is
dtf; er than this.
1 he aim of the church is the bet
ter 1 lent of man . This ' being the
fun laraental purpose, the church
he 1 aided the forces that tended to
th betterment of man. and on-
po d whatever it thought to be
ha: nful. Hence the church has
