Written by A. W. Miller (possibly by the Rev. Arnold W. Miller, though most of Arnold Miller's sermons and writings were published in South Carolina). Justifies slavery through Christianity: "Thus, the relation of slavery will ever continue in the world, rendered perpetual by Christianity, because it points to Christ, who took upon Him the form of a slave... The Christianity of the Old Testament did not condemn it, neither does the Christianity of the New."
