Note: This sermon was delivered on January 23, 1859. Here is a short excerpt from this sermon: ".right hates the evil of slavery. But we do not so intensely hate slavery as we should do if we saw it before our eyes. Then would our blood boil when we saw our black brothers smitten by the cowhide whip. Imagine a slaveholder standing right here and smiting his poor slave until the red blood gushed forth in a river. Can you conceive your indignation? Now it is distance that makes you feel this less acutely. The right forgets the wrong because it is far away. But suppose now that right and wrong lived in the same house. Suppose that two such desperate enemies, cribbed, cabined and confined within this narrow house called man."
"If you do not hate sin so much that you do not do everything to drive it out, then J'm afraid you're not a living child of God."
"Men who believe their depravity, but do not hate it, are no further on the road to heaven than the devil."
