In Mr. Barrow's piece against slavery, we find the following note: "To see a man (a Christian) in the most serious period of all his life--making his last will and testament--and in the most solemn manner addressing the Judge of all the earth--_In the name of God, Amen._--Hearken to him--he will very shortly appear before the Judge, where kings and slaves have equal thrones!--He proceeds: "Item. I give and bequeath to my son ----, a negro man named ----, a negro woman named ---- with five of her youngest children. "Item. I give and bequeath to my daughter ----, a negro man named ----, also a negro woman named ----, with her three children. "Item. All my other slaves, whether men, women or children, with all my stock of horses, cattle, sheep, and hogs, I direct to be sold to the highest bidder, and the monies arising therefrom (after paying my just debts) to be equally divided between my two above-named children!!! "The above specimen is not exaggerated; the like of it often turns up. And what can a real lover of the rights of man say in vindication thereof? "Suppose for a moment, that the testator, or if the owner, dies intestate (which is often the case), was ever so humane a person, who can vouch for their heirs and successors? This consideration, if nothing else, ought to make all slaveholders take heed what they do, 'for they must give an account of themselves to God.'"] [Footnote 3: Departing under similar circumstances at the same time, went Rev. Mr. Amos, a product of the same Christian environment, directing his course to New Providence, Bahama Islands, British West Indies, where he established a flourishing Baptist Church.] [Footnote 4: When he purchased the property for the Bethel Church on Lombard Street near Sixth and the majority of the committee refused to accept, Allen having given his word so to do, kept it at a great personal loss.] [Footnote 5: A man of fair education, Willis was a power in that State as early as 1798. We hear of him in Louisiana in 1804. Mississippi sent two ministers to ordain him in Louisiana in 1812. He organized later the Louisiana Baptist Association and was chosen as its moderator in 1837.]
