  5. In May 1855 in the very height of the
  6. Kansas strength Mr. Garrison held
  7. his annual convention in new York
  8. City. They passed a long string of reso-
  9. lutions against clergymen calling ˄them all
  10. the hard names in, & after genesis.
  11. At that very time these Clergymen
  12. were the active, earnest and hopeful advo-
  13. cates of the plan of the Emigrant Aid Co.
  14. Hundreds of them through the influence
  15.  of Rev. E. E. Hale became life members
  16. of the Company. In every place where
  17. duty called me in raising colonies, if
  18. there was no hall, or if the hall was in
  19. use, the church was opened & the
  20. clergyman never failed to add his
  21.  exhortation to my remarks. Dr. Bacon
  22. of new Haven did more perhaps than
  23. any other one to raise & equip the splendid
  24. colony of Charles B. Lines which founded
  25. Waubonse (sic.) {Wabaunsee} in Kansas. Twice I had his
  26. church for a lecture on Kansas. Twice
  27. I had Henry Ward Beecher & his conger-
  28. gation subscribed more money for Kansas
  29. than any other.
