Slavery and Liberty
James 1:25
But whoever looks into the perfect law of liberty, and continues therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work…


James II., on his death-bed, thus addressed his son: — "There is no slavery like sin, and no liberty like God's service." Was not the dethroned monarch right?

(H. Melvill, B. D.)
