Glory be to God I What has come? " Only a proclamation, " say some, — " a state paper, with the signature of the President, declaring the slaves of certain localities free ; but that does not make them so : it is still dependent on the fortunes of the war how soon, or whether at all, they obtain their freedom. " I u have no sympathy witli ihat disposition wliicli receives qiies- tioningly what is in itself a precious gift, because it is not the most precious conceivable or desired ; nor with th...e dis- trust implied by such questioning, in the case before us, of the Great Giver's will and power to perfect it. When he has made a way for what is through such ranks of obstacles, — a way which human wisdom never by so much as a glimpse ^ foresaw, — I will not doubt that the way will be opened, by the same wonder-working Providence, for what we desire shall be. God will not leave his work unlinished, — nor de- layed, but by our unfaithfulness. That most of those held in slavery, if not all, have long known that the day of their re- demption was drawing nigh, was as good as come, — though doubtless, in many instances, with conceptions very vague and crude about it, — this none doubt who know anything of them.
