Besides what is said in the epistle to Philemon, to which I will advert by and by, these two verses are the pillars that must sup- port the monstrous system of human slavery. By what species of chicanery anybody can extort out of these two verses justification for a system of bondage that holds millions of human beings as mere property to all intents and purposes whatsoever, I am utterly at a loss to conjecture." After analyzing thoroughly these passages and also Philemon 8-21 he said again :- "What a heart must that man have who imagines that he can by some species of logical chemistry extort chattel slavery into the right to hold and treat even Christian men as things, from a letter so full of tenderness and breathing such an earnest desire that Philemon would receive Onesimus no longer as a servant, but as a brother beloved."
On the whole therefore I conclude, that nothing that is said in the New Testament, and nothing that is omitted, af- fords a shadow of support of modern slavery. We saw this morn- ing that that monstrous institution can derive no just sanction from the Old Testament; so that to the question, "Does the Bible sanc- tion slavery"? we are now prepared to reply, as I do with the deep- est conviction, No; it does not. But I do not stop with that negative declaration. I now in the second place declare affirmatively, that the gospel, in its essential spirit, as well as in many of its most im- portant precepts, is diametrically opposed to chattel slavery. What is the spirit of slavery? It is that spirit which lords it over others; disregards and crushes out their wishes and feelings; extorts from them labor by compulsion, and then appropriates to one's self the fruit of such toil, except so much as may be necessary to keep the living machine in good working order. Who can deny that such is the spirit and genius of slavery? Now the spirit of the gospel, as evinced by Christ himself, and as set forth in the New Testament, is the direct opposite of this. . The very essence of the spirit of the gospel is a disposition to do as much good as possible to others in a spirit of self sacrifice. What fellowship hath such a spirit with that which would make mere tools of others for one's own gratifi- cation or emolument. John 13-13. The example that he gave, and which he would have them copy, was that of humble kindness to
304

others, a readiness to do humble offices in love. What has such a temper to do with the lordly spirit that belongs to slavery as a system ?
While the essential spirit of the gospel is thus diametrically op- posed to that of slavery, many of the precepts of Christ virtually prohibit it. "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so to them."
Nobody is willing to be a slave. Nobody is willing to be re- garded and treated as a thing. Nobody is willing to be shut out from the light of knowledge by law; to toil his whole life at the bidding and for the sole advantage of others; to have no hope on earth for himself or his wretched offspring. And if nobody is will- ing to be a slave. then nobody ought to be willing to 'hold others in slavery. It is not doing as he would be done by; it is not loving his neighbor as himself. It is a clear violation of these precepts of the gospel."
"My third point is, that it is a strong argument in favor of that construction of the Bible, that finds it, not friendly to, but hostile to slavery, because that conclusion is in perfect accordance with the intuitive conviction and the spontaneous sentiments of mankind.
The Bible teaches me to call no man master; that my fellow creatures are in the sight of God just as important as I am; that he is no respecter of persons; that my fellow man is under no more obligations to me than I am to him in the nature of things.
The same things are intuitively true. Is it not intuitively cer- tain that I have, under God, a better right to myself and to the use of my own powers than anybody else has, and that if it do nobody any harm, I have a right to seek my own welfare in my own way? Can any logic beat that conviction out of me, or out of you?
Suppose I have not quite so much bodily strength, or intellectual vigor as another, or that my skin is not so white, does this alter the case ?
Such is the common feeling of men the world over, just in pro- portion as they are intelligent and have hearts in the right place. Many slaveholders, notwithstanding all the opiates to which their consciences are subjected, feel so. John Randolph says in his last will and testament, "I give to my slaves their freedom, to which Iny conscience tells me they are justly entitled." And the state- ment of men's rights in the Declaration of Independence, is but the utterance of the inherent conviction and the spontaneous feeling of the conscience and heart of man. Even the most fanatical pro- slavery advocates unconsciously betray something of the same feeling.
Even Dr. Van Dyke is rather of the opinion that slavery will
305

cease at the time of the Millenium. One would suppose, from his zeal on the subject, that in his opinion heaven would not be perfect without "the institution." And now I ask, who planted these sentiments of right and humanity in our consciences and hearts? Who wrote these laws in the human soul? Why, the same being who has given us the Bible. And is it to be supposed that in that book he has given laws that contradict the law that he has inscribed on the soul? Sooner let my tongue cleave . to the roof of my mouth, than give utterance to what I should feel to be an impious libel on the Divine character. And, my hearers, whatever you may allow yourselves to do for the sake of politics, do not, I beseech you, inspire your children with the domineering, the selfish spirit of slavery. If what I have said in re- gard to the Bible be true. then slavery is doomed to expire. Not merely the intelligence and conscience of the civilized world are against it, but Christ the Redeemer is also against it. It may be bolstered up for a time, but its ultimate doom is sealed. No human foresight can now determine the when and the how of its demise; but that it will die, I regard as only a question of time. And who is not prepared with me to say, "O Lord, hasten the day!"
No apology is needed, nor will any be made, for inserting at length this extract from Dr. Eldridge's discourse on a subject long since settled, but which was the burning vital one at the time of its delivery. His words from our stand- point today seem nothing less than prophetic. If for no other reason, his discourse in full, which can be found at the Norfolk Library and elsewhere, is richly worthy a care- ful perusal as a specimen of his clear, cogent reasoning, showing, as it does, the power, the breadth and the scope of his mind.
"There were giants in those days."
It is said that Deacon Amos Pettibone was the head and front of the 'Anti-Slavery,' or 'Abolition party,' in this town. The caucuses were usually held at his house, around his fireside, in the early days. Their full roll for consider- able time was nine. The sentiments and convictions of a few were so intense that they withdrew from the churches, and thought it wrong even to vote, so long as the Constitu- tion of the United States sanctioned slavery. Of these were Mr. Merrill Humphrey, Mr. Abel Camp and probably others.

NORFOLK MEN IN THE WAR OF THE REBELLION.
The following record of service is largely as published by order of the State Legislature in 1885. This state publica- tion is in many cases incorrect :
President Lincoln's proclamation calling for men for three months was issued April 15, 1861. The First Regiment, Connecticut Volunteers, arrived at Washington on the steamer "Bienville," via Chesapeake Bay and the Potomac, May 13th.
"These were days of intense excitement in Washington, and false alarms were frequent, but cool heads were in control of the Connecticut Brigade." There were no Norfolk men in the First Connecticut Regiment.
The Second Regiment, Connecticut Volunteers, enlisted for three months, Col. Alfred H. Terry, was mustered into the United States service at Brewster's Park, New Haven, May 7. 1861. It embarked from that port May 10th on the steamer "Cahawba" for Washing- ton, D. C., arriving there May 14th, camping at Meridian Hill. On the night of June 16th it crossed Long Bridge, entering upon the "sacred soil of Virginia." On the 17th it was ordered to the support of Col. McCook's Ohio regiment, which had that day been attacked at Vienna Station." "The Second Connecticut took part in the battle of Bull Run, July 21st, acquitting itself with great credit, demonstrating by its coolness under fire the excellence of its material and the thoroughness of its discipline. At the ex- piration of its term of service the Second Regiment returned to New Haven, where on August 7th, 1861, its men were mustered out, most of them to make use of their experience, training and discipline in the three years' regiments of the State, wherein a large number became valuable officers."
Norfolk was well represented in this regiment, Rifle Co. E or Infantry Co. F containing the first men to enlist from this town, viz., Samuel C. Barnum, Charles N. Decker, George J. Karmann, Samuel J. Mills, Calvin N. Sage and John M. Walker.
In Co. A, or Rifle Co. B, the Norfolk men were Edward Adams, Stephen Barden, Philo Blake, William J. Downer, Charles A. Lewis and Timothy Ryan.
In the Third Connecticut Regiment, which was in the same brigade as the First and Second regiments, in Rifle Co. A, was Willis H. Tyrrell of Norfolk.
These Norfolk men were all mustered out at the close of their three months' term of service; nearly all of them, however, re- enlisted. Samuel J. Mills, a native of this town, son of Irad Mills, died not long after his return, his death occurring Sept. 5, 1861, from

disease contracted in the service, and was buried here with military honors, his being the first death of a Norfolk soldier, and the first military funeral here.
In the First Squadron Conn. Vol. Cavalry, which was consoli- dated with the Second New York, known as the "Harris Light Cavalry," in Company A, were Sergeants Edward C. Morehouse and Russell A. Murphy from Norfolk, both mustered in Aug. 13, '61. Morehouse continued in the service until mustered out, September 10, 1864, the expiration of his term. Murphy was taken prisoner June 9, '63, at Brandy Station, Va .; died at Andersonville, Ga., 1864.
This regiment was among the very first volunteer cavalry regi- ments to prove that Union cavalry could match and overmatch the rough riders of the Confederacy."

In the First Regiment Conn. Vol. Heavy Artillery was Jonathan H. P. Stevens, M. D., Assistant Surgeon; mustered in Oct. 14, '61; re- signed September 1, 1862.
Dr. Stevens was a native of this town, a life long resident, and from the time of his graduation as a physician and surgeon until his death a much esteemed, trusted and successful practising physician. He was a man of sterling character, integrity and worth, whose death in middle life was deeply deplored by the entire community.
