Description:Excerpt from Old Anti-Slavery Days: Proceedings of the Commemorative Meeting, Held by the Danvers Historical Society, at the Town Hall, Danvers, April 26, 1893, With Introduction, Letters and SketchesNor this alone. It was marked by moral lessons of the luohest import and value. As there has been no greater service of man and God in our age than that which broke the chains of the three millions of our oppressed and degraded fellow-beings in the South, clothed them with the rights and immunities of American citizenship and made the nation free in fact as it was in name, so it was now seen, anew, what a noble thing it is for souls to consecrate themselves to a righteous cause and live for others; and it was seen, once more, that such devo tion or work is never in vain that no enmities or hostilities can avail to defeat it, that God is in it, and that in his own good time it shall vindicate itself and gloriously triumph. It was worth the while, for young and for old. To see and hear the confessors who had so loved the truth and who had so loved liberty for all, whose faith had known no fear and whose word had not been silenced, who had bravely met the frowns and jeers and persecutions of the world, and had still toiled on in trust and hope, and conquered at last. While the many were in quest of money, or pleasure, or office, or popularity, or power, or fame, these were willing to be poor, to forego the usually coveted privileges and delights of life, and to be of no reputation, yes, even to suffer, and if need were, to die, if only through their labors and stripes and sacrifices somecomfort or deliverance might come to the trampled and the weary ones. Object lessons they were and are, to inspire men with more faith in the power of truth, and with increased zeal for per sonal excellence and for the universal weal. It is these and such as these, who have made it easier for others to believe and not to doubt, to hold to the right against whatever odds, to keep in sight the lofty ideals and to obey the heavenly vision, and still to press on until the cross is exchanged for the crown. It was good to be there, at the commemoration scene and the eager and unflagging attention of the audience to all that was said, and the vehement and prolonged applause which followed Mr. Garrison's very able and fine address and all the speeches that succeeded it, as well as Mr. Bartlett's poem and the songs of the Hutchinsons, showed how deeply their hearers entered into the the spirit of the occasion and how well they seemed to take to heart the moral instruction and incentives of the hour.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
