UNCLE TOM’S CABIN

TOM (Narrative 1)
One Sunday, my mother urged me to ask master’s permission to go hear the minister.  I had so often been beaten for making such a request that I refused to make it.  Yet, she still persisted.  To gratify her I went to my master and for this once he allowed me to go.  I had never heard a sermon except from ny mother.  When the speaker was beginning. “That he, by the Grace of God, should taste of death for every man.”  This was the first text of the Bible to which I had ever listened, knowing it to be such.  I have never forgotten it.  The divine character of Jesus Christ, his tender love for mankind, his forgiving spirit, his compassion for the outcast and despised, his  crucifixion and glorious ascencion were alldepicted.  I felt sorry that massa did’nt know him, sorry should live a course, wicked, cruel life.  I love my enemies, and prayed for them that did despitefully use and entreat me.
