Description:Excerpt from The Times, and Signs of the Times: Baccalaureate Sermon, to the Graduating Class of Washington College, August 31, 1862 The keeping out of the pulpit subjects so essentially connected with the moral and political life of the nation, and with the peace, unity and religious life of the church as the subject of slavery, is a most cunning device of Satan, which has already wrought unspeakable evil. This ignoring of slavery because merely incidentally connected with party politics, though essentially connected with the morals, religion and very life of the nation, is going even beyond the demands of Satan's own rule of taking an ell when allowed an inch. This is permitting him to take the substance, when he has merely the accident, and has that, only on the monstrous assumption that the politics of nations are under his peculiar care and administration. The author of this Sermon fully believes in rebuking the impudence of Satan herein, and in speaking out for the honor of Him whose right it is to rule, by causing the principles of his religion to pervade the affairs of all nations, their politics included, and thus to be really the salt of the earth. The author believes in speaking out for the honor of "Christ's Crown and Kingdom," even in the pulpits of Christ's own house; believes in instructing the people in "all the counsel of God," however it may fare with partisan political platforms of whatever name, or with those who can see nothing in politics higher, better, nobler than the triumph of party with its accompanying spoils. Entire originality is not to be expected in a discussion of Slavery at this day, except in the method of presenting it. That is pretty much all that is claimed for the following discourse, which is here presented just as it was preached, except what is added in a short appendix.
