they speak disparagingly of the negro's religion, which is full as good
as that of converts in our foreign missionary fields, as good, judging

My own hopeful persuasion is, that great and marvellous works of Divine
Providence and grace are in reserve for the African people in their own

great accomplishment. This is my persuasion, and I trust that every
nation will be independent; but I shall not discard the Bible, if my
