PRAYER FOR THE OPPRESSED.
SLAVERY UNCHRISTIAN.
FROM A SERMON BY REV. E. N. KIRK, D. D.
IS HE NOT MAN?
WRONG OF SLAVERY.
This powerful pamphlet opens with a forceful declaration that slavery stands in direct conflict with both natural law and the core teachings of the New Testament. The author argues that the institution violates the fundamental rights of liberty granted to every person and that true Christian faith, when honestly applied, must reject it entirely. By weaving together moral philosophy, biblical interpretation, and the spirit of the American ideals of freedom, the text presents a compelling case for why the church should distance itself from the practice.
The work moves beyond argument to a heartfelt appeal for collective prayer and action. It urges each denomination and individual believer to raise a clear, unwavering voice against oppression, suggesting that such unified testimony could sway public sentiment and bring about lasting change. Readers are invited to consider how faith can become a catalyst for justice, encouraging a sincere, prayerful commitment to the cause of freedom.
