Description
Excerpt from Suggestions on the Religious Instruction of the Negroes: Together With an Appendix Containing Forms of Church Registers, Form of a Constitution, and Plans of Different Denominations of Christians
The mass of professing Christians, and the great majority of our citizens who make no profession of religion at all, have advanced beyond the question, Is it our duty to evangelize our Negro popa lation? And are inquiring for the best plan of performing that duty. The inquiry has been made in each of the leading denominations of Christians in the South, and replies of more or less fullness have been given. With the View of meeting this demand for information, now more earnest and pressing, than ever before, I have determined, in humble reliance upon the blessing of God, to present to the Christian public, and to the Presbyterian Church in particular, a Series of Suggestions on the Religious Instruction of the Negroes in the Southern States: suggestions which I have gathered, not only from my own observation and experience, but also from the observation and experience of others.
