  4. Scenes from the Second Great Awakening The Tree of Life brings forth, under the redemptive rays of God as Father, Spirit and Word, twelve fruits of salvation for those seeking entry into the New Jerusalem. A large crowd strolls by the narrow gate of salvation along the Broad Way to the Devil and "babylon Mother of Harlots" beckon. The secure sinners are stigmatized with labels indicating: "pride," "chambering & wantonness," "quack," "usury," and "extortion."

  5. The Abolitionist Message The illustration on this sheet-music cover is an allegory of the triumph of abolitionism. A railroad car called "Immediate Emancipation," is pulled by a locomotive named "Liberator." Flags bearing the names of two other abolitionist publications, the Herald of Freedom and American Standard (or National Anti-Slavery Standard) fly from the "Emancipation" car. In the distance, two other trains, one marked "Van," the other "Clay," crash, and their passengers flee.
