At Liberty's shrine, in Humanity's name. The spots of the leopard shall token no sin-- No crime shall be charged to the Ethiop's skin-- And, evermore radiant, the zenith shall glow, The light and the joy of creation below-- For perished shall _then_ be the Slavery rod, And man stand erect in the image of God. "Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low, and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain; and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it."--_Isaiah xl. 3-5_ End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The Gospel of Slavery, by Iron Gray
