W GORDON GREEN Now that wealth* -J - gan has- consentedt to give Americans another holiday, this one o honor Martin Luther King, it seems in- credible that we are little more than •a ' century re- moved from the 'time when slavery was both, legal and respectable. It was in fact just 150 years ago this month when the Rev. Richard Fur- man, then the leader of the Southern Baptists in the U.S. wrote a most amazing de- fence of slavery. Furman pointed out that the Bible clearly approved the institu- tion both in the Old Testa- ment and the New, and then he made a proposition which angered. many of the slave owners. He said that slaves should be given religious instruction. Why? Well not so much to save their souls it seems, be- cause there was some real doubt among the God people then, as to whether or not the black man had a soul. But Preacher Furman said the negro should be given Chris- tian teaching nevertheless so that he would be taught what the Bible said about slaves having the proper respect for their masters. And when certain Aboli- tionists of the norith pro- tested at the inhumanity of such a calloused viewpoint being urged in the name of religion, Rev. Furman found plenty of support from other southern clergymen. Two in particular, distinguished Episcopalians both of them, wrote very scholarly treat- ises on the matter. The Rev. Dalche declared that the church was not nearly bold enough in accepting the fact that black men were called upon by God • HimselT to serve.. the whites, and William Barlow, the rector of the Protestant Episcopal' Church in Charleston urged the church to propose a learned society to promote pro -slavery doctrine. He sug- gested that the name of this be "The American Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge" and he pro- posed the senior .bishog;;as, the society's president:- . - -•! Bat before you label such men as bigots or hypocrites, we should realize that these men did have the authority of the Bible to back up their contentions. The Bible, not once but many times, either , gives its outright support, to slavery or at least accepts its existence without protest. I had occasion to think about this supposedly divine support of slavery last week when one of my ultra -pious friends got rather angry at me for my casting what he thought, was a slur on the authenticity of the Bible. And I was told with all the righteous indignation, this a • man could utter that "all scripture is the divinely in-, spired Word of God. Not one jot or title of it is false, con- tradictory or superfluous",. Well my answer to 'that is simply this: if you are will- ing to -study those parts of the Bible which our clergymen conveniently overlook; you will discover that ever since Eden, men have"claimed Di- vine approval for commit- ting almost all of the major atrocities and injustices. That in addition,to slavery• they have foughtone merci- less war after another, each in the name of God; ' that all through the Old Testament ° they were consistently guilty of cruel and unyielding racial prejudice: that even rape and incest were some- times in t --w.lL..of Gott too; that God gave them the inali- enable right to buy and sell ,, their own wives anddaugh- ters; that they were com- manded topunish the inno- cent for the guiliy.,,`the..child for the sin of his father or his • grandfather; that it was often God's will for a man to commit murder, (as for in- stance when he discovered that the woman he had mar- ried was not a^100 per cent virgin;) that no mercy be shown • to thevanquished, even to the women and child- ren. True, Christ had nothing but contempt for such a con- , cept °Med and His`mission ,^,was I see it was to bring a gos- `%lel-ove to take the place of blame -shed and vengeance and prejudice. Hut if you will overlook the teaching and the spirit of those very few red-letter sayings Christ left us in the Gospels, it is still' possible to find a Biblical precedent for afrhost any act of violence or, hate it suits a man to conl- mit
