Excerpt from The Bad Friday: A Sermon Preached in the First Church, West Roxbury, June 4, 1854; It Being the Sunday After the Return of Anthony Burns to Slavery

It is not my wish, in alluding to these occurrences, to fan a feeling of indignation against those who have been at man-hunting in Boston. That feeling is na tural. It has been with me. It may be right. But other feelings than that are now with me uppermost, - yes, and undermost, and most pervading. I am altogether saddened and ashamed. A sense of utter degradation weighs me down. There is at this mo ment no room in my heart for any other feeling. There have been moments when I could almost adopt the recent language of a noble-hearted friend, who said, I am ashamed to live! So entire is the humiliation I feel.
