Excerpt from Treasured Moments: Being a Compilation of Letters on Various Topics, Written at Different Times, and in Different Countries, Together With Notes, Incidents of Travel and Reminiscences of Men and Things In a compilation of such fragmentary articles, culled from portfolios, whose dates run through a period of thirty-five years' ministry, in which opinions have been advanced touching a variety of subjects, moral and religious, viewed at different periods and from different points of observation, it would be strange indeed if the writer shall not be found to have advanced opinions "whereby some weak conscience shall be offended." Sure I am of having touched one sensitive chord, which, for the last quarter of a century, has discoursed all manner of music, from the wildest yells of an Indian war-song down to the melting strains of an Eolian harp. But being no theorist, and having no theories to bolster up, and always inclined to take a practical rather than a visionary view of such subjects; and acknowledging no authority but the Bible; and believing in no remedy for the ills and woes of men and nations, save the pure gospel of the blessed God our Saviour, I have written what I have written, without the fear or favour of men; and what I conscientiously believe to be in accordance with the word of God. It was a common saying of the late lamented Jay, of Bath, that "the truth generally lies in the middle, and he is commonly nearest to it who is abused by both the opposite parties." It is not improbable that the views herein expressed on the vexed question of slavery, and of our duties to the slave, may place me between two fires, thus furnishing the gratifying testimony of being nearest the truth.
