...fiery young preacher stood at his pulpit, gesturing at a handsome mulatto girl who sat near him on the platform. Cried he: ''This is a marketable commodity! Such as she are put into one balance and silver into the other. I reverence woman. For the sake of the love I bore my mother I hold her sacred even in the lowest position and will use every means in my power for her uplifting. What will you do now?
