Edward Norris Kirk, Presbyterian missionary, says we must love as the Good Samaritan (Luke 10) did. Be like Christ, seek the happiness of those whose character you hate. If that’s too much to ask, why would God allow you in heaven?
I often see the “without holiness” (Heb 12:14) applied to purity, but Kirk applies to love of enemy.
Today we’re asked to acquiese to cruetly cuz victim might be an enemy.
How can you seek others’ happiness?

Thomas Gisborne, Anglican priest, comments on the effects of the slave trade, per se. It foments wars, tyranny, and discord in Africa. And it prevents the diffusion of the religion of Christ.
A country’s participation in a great injustice could make its religion less popular!
Have you heard people use the tyranny or turmoil of Africa as a justification for slavery?
How can you truly take responsibility for your actions?
