While the white Baptist churches had no societies exclusively for evangeliz- ing the negroes, their associations frequently laid the duty on the hearts and consciences of their people. Multitudes of colored preachers among the African Baptists in the South- em states were preaching to their own color on the planta- tions. Their preaching was broken and illiterate, but doubtless through this very imperfect medium the truth reached and benefited many souls. The Episcopal Church fell heir to the i...nterest aroused and the efforts put forth by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel. But this Church suffered more than any other from the Revolutionary War. It lost nearly all of its preach- ers and all its state support, and was left in such a languish- ing and disorganized condition that for some years it had to devote all its enfeebled energies to strengthening the things which remained and were ready to die. When better days came, it showed in many ways its continued concern for the negroes.
