" In camps and fleets, and in the busy scenes of public life r the awful threats and the cheering hopes of the Gospel do not receive the serious consideration they deserve. Withdrawn from those scenes, my mind has become more and more impressed with the clearest conviction, that for men to devote themselves to the military profession, and to assemble by thousands for the avowed purpose of deliberately shedding human blood, is as clearly contrary to the plain and positive precepts of Jesus, as i...t is ab- 4 LETTER OF CAPTAIN THRUSH.
horent to those natural feelings of humanity that, till blunted or perverted by education, are in mercy impressed on our hearts by our wise and benevolent Creator. Entertaining these opinions; believing that they will be approved by my future Judge; and as a Christian determined never to draw a sword or pull a trigger for the purpose of shedding human blood ; nor yet to return a blow for a blow, or an insult for an insult; I feel myself perfectly unfit for your Majesty's naval service, and I think I should not act either honestly or consistently in retaining my commission.
