What said the law and the testimony to that peCul iar people9Yer whom God ruled and for whose institutions Ile . has assumed the responsibity,? - The answeris in the 25th chapter of Leviticus, in these wOrdS:-,-, "And if thy brother that Awelletli by thee be waxen poor and be:sold unto thee; thou shalt not compel hitii to serve as a bond „selTant ;. but as Ii hired servant - and a sojourner he shall be with thee and shall serve thee unto the year of jubilee; and then shall he depart from. thee, both lie and his children with him." SO far, you will observe, the law refers I to the citildreeollsreekiyho,. by reasons I of poterty, - wereredueed to servitude: It was their. right .to be free et the jubilee; I unless,they chose to remain in perpetual bondage; for which case provision is made I in . other - and distinct: enactments.
