The following Sabbath, Dr.Cox was on a visit in Brooklyn to preach, and was a guest in the family; hearing of my case, he expressed a wish to converse with me, and without knowing the plan, I was invited into a room and left alone with him.

He entered skilfully and kindly into my feelings, and after considerable conversation he invited me to attend his service that afternoon.

I did so, and was deeply interested.
Without detaining the reader with too many particulars, I will only state that I heard the doctor once or twice after this, at his own place of worship in New York City, and had several personal interviews with him, as the result of which, I hope, I was brought to a saving acquaintance with Him, of whom Moses in the Law and the Prophets did write; and soon connected myself with the church under his pastoral care.
I now returned with all my renewed powers to the great theme--slavery.

It seemed now as I looked at it, to be more hideous than ever.

I saw it now as an evil under the moral government of God--as a sin not only against man, but also against God.
