312 is an uprising of her sons from intellectual sloth and spritual inertness; a seeking and a stretching forth of her hands, for light, instruction, and spirituality, such as the world has never before seen; and which gives hopes that the days of Cyprian and Augustine shall again return to Africa; when the giant sins and the deadly evils, which have ruined her, shall be effectually stayed; and when Ethiopia, from the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean—from the Mediterranean to the Cape, "shall stretch out her hands unto God!" But it may be asked, What relation have the remarks I have made this evening, to the subject of the Ladies' Negro Emancipation Society? Much every way: and I proceed now to point out this relation, and the obligation which it appears to me to ensue thereon. I have endeavored to show this evening that God is laying bare His arm just now for Africa and the Negro race;—is bringing to a rapid end their long and grievous servitude;—and is showing, in His mysterious providence, that, however grievous, in the past, to flesh and blood, has been their lot, that He meant it for good. Now the Almighty has placed a very considerable section of this race under your care, control, and government. They inhabit all those islands in the Caribbean Sea, which have come into your possession by discovery, or which have been purchased by the heroic sacrifice of blood, or won by bravciy or prowess. They are the dwellers of some of the most productive portions of the globe, lying in the bright and genial bounds of the tropics.
