To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We answer NO ; the negroes have no regular and efficient ministry ; as a matter of course, no churches; neither is there sufficient room in white churches for their accommodation. We know of but five churches in the slave holding States built expressly for their use; these are all in the State of Georgia. We may now inquire if they enjoy the privileges of the Gospel in their own houses, and on our plantations ? Again we return a negative answer. They have no Bibles to read by their own fireside...s they have no family altars ; and when in affliction, sickness, or death, they have no minister to address to them the consolations of the Gospel, nor to bury them with solemn and appropriate services. " In a late number of the Charleston (S. C. ) Observer, a cor respondent remarked: "Let us establish missionaries among -our own negroes, who, in view of religious knowledge, are as debasingly ignorant as any one on the coast of Africa; for I hazard the assertion, that throughout the bounds of our synod, there are at least one hundred thousand slaves, speaking the same language as ourselves, who never heard of the plan of - salvation by a Redeemer.
