to any class of persons. No matter! I am going to tell the plain unvarnished truth, as clearly as I can understand it, and let Christians and Infidels, Orthodox and Unitarians, Catholics and Protestants and Swedenborgians, growl as they like. They all will growl if they notice the book at all; for each one will want to have his own theory favored, and the only thing I have conscientiously aimed at is not to favor any theory.... How queer it seems to me to read long arguments to prove that Philo must have had some idea of the Christian Trinity! Because Plato stands behind Christ, they cannot see him, though his head and shoulders are so plainly visible. One thing I have learned, in the course of my labors. It is of no use to ask questions of others, or seek assistance from them, unless it be concerning the titles of books which contain the most trustworthy information. More and more I feel that every sort of salvation we do attain to in this life must be worked out by ourselves.

lothea. That was a pleasant ramble into classic lands; but this Progress of Religious Ideas was a real pilgrimage of penance, with peas in my shoes, walking over rubble-stones most of the way. You have no idea of the labor! It was greatly increased by my distance from libraries, nearly all the time, which rendered copious extracts necessary. How absurdly the Old Testament is treated by Christians! used for all convenient purposes, neglected whenever it is inconvenient! Moses is good authority for holding slaves, but not for the healthy practice of abstaining from the use of pork. . . . Most devoutly do I believe in the pervasive and ever-guiding Spirit of God ; but I do not believe it was ever shut up within the covers of any book, or that it ever can be. Portions of it, or rather breathing of it, are in many books. The words of Christ seem to me full of it, as no other words are. But if we want truth, we must listen to the voice of God in the silence of our own souls as he did.

ov. XXXI. 8, 9. Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins. Isa. LVIII. 1. I would especially commend to slave-holders the followinW portions of that volume wherein you say God has revealed the duty of masters:-- Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven. Col. IV. 1. Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. Matt. XXIII. 10. Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them. Matt. VII. 12. Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? Isa. LVIII. 6. They have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink. Joel III. 3. He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker. Prov. XIV.

To the same. 1870. Mrs. J--, the author of Linda, spent a couple of nights here a few weeks ago. She told me one little anecdote which reminded me of the Puritan soldiers of old. She said that one day, during the war, she was gathering vegetables in the garden of the hospital where she was nursing the wounded. A soldier passed by, and seeing some roses in bloom he said, Auntie, will you give me a rose? Mrs. J — was sensitive about being called Auntie, that being the universal way of addressing middle-aged slaves. So she answered, I will give yon some roses with all my heart, for I am always willing to give anything to a soldier of the United States. But I am not your auntie; your mother was not my sister. Was n't she, though? rejoined the soldier. You'd better ask General Christ about that. He was a great general, and I guess he would say that your mother was my mother's sister. My mother is a good woman. If you knew her, you would love her. Beautiful, was it no
