Impossible! How dare you make such an assertion!" "It doubtless strikes you, Florry, as strangely uncharitable and unchristian; yet, if you will consult the records of the past, I venture to say you will think very differently. What memorable event occurred on one of your saints' days the 24th of August, 1572?
Even her zeal in her studies often unduly absorbed her mind, tempting her to leave the fag-end of time and strength for prayer and the reading of God's word, and her natural ambition often led her into unchristian feelings and tempers.
And there, thought the Sub-Prior, goes another plague of the times a fellow whose birth designed him to cultivate the earth, but who is perverted by the unhallowed and unchristian divisions of the country, into a daring and dissolute robber.
Negro-stealing by Americans continued till 1864, when a brig sailing westward from Africa on that iniquitous errand, was lost at sea a grim ending to three centuries of incredible and unchristian cruelty. The first anti-slavery tract published in America was written by Judge Sewall in the year 1700 "The Selling of Joseph."

Or, with the female followers of the false prophet, or, in more refined but unchristian nations, you might have been little else than the slave or the convenience of man, and left to doubt whether any inheritance awaits you beyond the grave.
Do we feel as men? and is not this insult to manliness, and a vile mockery to the feelings of men? We can never forget we will never forgive, and we will wait; for when the opportunity shall come, as come it will, we will avenge the damning wrong.
