Aunt Phillis's Cabin: Or Southern Life as It Is (Classic Reprint)

Slavery has no difficulty in tracing back its origin. There is also the advantage of finding it, with its continued history, and the laws given by God to govern his own institution, in the Holy Bible. Neither profane history, tradition, nor philosophical research are required to prove its origin or existence; though they, as all things must, come forward to substantiate the truth of the Scriptures. God, who created the human race, willed they should be holy like himself. Sin was committed, and the curse of sin, death, was induced: other punishments were denounced for the perpetration of particular crimes the shedding of mans blood for murder, and the curse of slavery. The mysterious reasons that here influenced the mind of the Creator it is not ours to declare. Yet may we learn enough from his revealed word on this and every other subject to confirm his power, truth, and justice. There is no Christian duty more insisted upon in Scripture than reverence and obedience to parents. Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. The relation of child to parent resembles closely that of man to his Creator. He who loves and honors his God will assuredly love and honor his parents. (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)
