notions concerning color or caste; whatever their relations
heretofore to slavery and what went along with it, this is
absolutely certain: no question involving the rights and wrongs
of men, civilized or savage, white or black, was ever yet
settled so that it would stay settled by any system of mere

equally certain that nothing can be rightly settled that is not
settled in harmony with the teachings of the Sermon on the
Mount. If there be a Divine Providence no good man need be
afraid to do right to-day; nay, he will fear only doing wrong.
