In Richmond there were two Baptist churches for Negroes — the First and Second — shown in directories up to 1856, and in the book of that year a Alethudist church appears. By 1858-9 another Baptist church was in existence. '^^ The work done in these churches under white leadership was comparable from the Negroes' standpoint to time spent in a training school ; and this training served them in good stead during the half century of independent church life since 1865. That the Negro should have be...en subject to severe criticism was inevitable. He was an alien of a different race and color; far from home ; he had little or no social caste — in short, a social pariah ; his morals were immatured or loose ; his ambi- tions were frequently stifled, and his home life too often unde- veloped ; his religion was hedged about by superstitions and his reactions in the presence of religious stimuli were exceedingly emotional. All in all, his sins of omission and commission were frequently facilitated by the mischievous of both races.
