Harriet Jacobs Quotes
My Visit To England Is A Memorable Event In My Life, From The Fact Of My Having There Received Strong, Religious Impressions. The Contemptuous Manner In Which The Communion Had Been Administered To Colored People In My Native Place; The Church Membership Of Dr. Flint And Others Like Him; And The Buying And Selling Of Slaves, By Professed Ministers Of The Gospel, Had Given Me A Prejudice Against The Episcopal Church. The Whole Service Seemed To Me A Mockery And A Sham. But My Home In Steventon Was In The Home Of A Clergyman, Who Was A True Disciple Of Jesus. The Beauty Of His Daily Life Inspired Me With Faith In The Genuineness Of Christian Professions. Grace Entered My Heart, And I Knelt At The Communion Table, I Trust, In True Humility Of Soul.
