Excerpt from The Convent and the Manse If the reader sits down to the perusal of this tale expecting a deep-laid plot of cunning or cruelty, he will be disappointed. Our simple object is to lift a voice of warning, and to show the contrast between the pure and peaceable religion of Christ and that system which is its dangerous counterfeit, and, especially, to bespeak for the humble, deluded stranger such kindly Christian treatment as may win him from darkness to light. In our mission to this class, we are not forced to go abroad for a field of labor, - Providence has brought our work to our own shores. - ay, into our very families. We would remind those who have the guidance of these simple-hearted strangers, of John Randolph, s rebuke to the mistress of many half-clothed slaves, when he found her working with great enthusiasm for the down- trodden Greeks, - "Madam, the Greeks are at your door!"
