.;
I . ET IN TIE FAAILx of AERSILJ.IM, 02. of
THE PATRIARHIIS:
1. Sin very is inconsistent with the Gus
! pel which waslpreached:
declai / ed to Abraham, "In thee,
and in thy seed shall all the nations, 'kin
! dreds, and falnilies of the earth be bless
; ed," not enrsedwith Slavery. If it could
Ibe shown, as it cannot,; that Abraham and
Jacob held chattel sles, it would be no
more evidenae that God approved of Slave
ry, than the 'fact that each of them had
two wives 'is proof that God is in favor
of ')f.lormon r Ay g atny. , Why, then, are'
we referred to these Patriarchs as slave
holders ? Do we not.know that if they
were now living among us, they would be
put in prison for, bigamy? There is no
evidence that, the servants of Abraham
were involtuatary.ilaies.
2. The word rendered . servant, does
not, of itself qg71 . 1/ a chattel 'slave.
The IlebreW abed, obed, and ebed,
and the Greek Doulos' are generic terms,
like animal, Man, tree; detioting , all kinds
of servants . ; as, the . servants. of the king,
1-Joshme the sef7ant - of Moses, 3loses . and,
Ithe saints, thelservants of God. "Ilis
seyvantsye dre - - to. whom ye: - yield .lour
selves.: savants to. obey." Even the
'bondal• . ,c of theviclied one, is a voluntary,
i" being led captive by him. at his ;
; Christ was called a servant' dare •any
man say. that lie as a slave ? There is
~no' word in the; Hebrew for Slave; The
I sacred language is to-pure for,it!.•
The priAr. bond, ,as . •
servant
is. not to, be found in, die Hebrew and
IGreek of the' Giti,ancl„ , :tVeza• Testaments.
Instead of; bond servant, and hired ser
