This being impracticable, I retired into the Anti-Slavery Office, (which is separated from the hall by a board partition), accompanied by my friend Mr. Charles C. Burleigh. Besides Mr. Burleigh and Mr. Garrison, the only gentlemen present were Mr. Henry G. Chapman and Dr. Amos Farnsworth, of Groton. The two latter retired from the hall with the expelled ladies. It was deemed prudent to lock the door, to prevent the mob from rushing in and destroying our publications. I immediately sat down, and wrote to a friend in Providence a description of the incidents of the day as they were transpiring (W. L. G., 20th Anniversary, p. 25. So Mr. Burleigh, in Lib. 5.171).

Parker, and intended for publication in the New England Spectator (Lib. 8.4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28). In a letter to H. C. Wright, from Groton, Mass., Aug. 12, 1837, Sarah says: The Lord . . . has very unexpectedly made us the means of bringing up the discussion of the question of woman's preaching, and all we have to do is to do our duty. . . . I cannot consent to make my Quakerism an excuse for my exercising the rights and performing the duties of a rational and responsible being. . . . All I claim is as woman, and for any woman whom God qualifies and commands to preach his blessed gospel. I claim the Bible, not Quakerism, as my sa

One, which made much stir, was held at Groton, Mass., Lib. 10.127, 135. on August 12 (while Mr. Garrison was on the water), being called by the friends of Christian Union, who inquired: Is the outward organization of the Church a human or a divine institution?
