Exclamations, not questions. Tags | Authors | Callings
I am aware that many, who profess to preach the Gospel, complain against their brethren of the same faith, who reside in the South, and are ready to withdraw the hand of fellowship, because they will not renounce the principle of slavery, and raise their voice against every thing of the kind. This must be a tender print, and one which should call forth the candid reflections of all men, and more especially before they advance in an opposition calculated to lay waste the fair states of the South, and let loose upon the world a community of people [freed slaves], who might, peradventure, overrun our country, and violate the most sacred principles of human society, chastity and virtue.
- Joseph Smith (President)
