case of slaverj’ in the U.S.A.
Today nobody would have
slavery back. We all know it
was one of the grossest and
most cruel of sins. God had no
। hand in it, but He did bring
about the concentration of
slaves in the Southern States,
the so called “’Bible belt”. All
through the Bible slavery is
recorded, and the treatment of
slaves, and their obedience to
their masters advised. So these
southern planters saw nothing
■ out of harmony with the Bible
in using slave labor, but ac
cepted the responsibility (in
most cases), of teaching to
their slaves the Gospel of their
Lord Jesus Christ.
Galleries were built in the
churches for the occupation of
the servants who accompanied
their masters to the services.
In many cases when in the
home the master of the house
led in family' prayers, the slaves
i were assembled with the rest
; of the household to hear the
Bible read, and prayer offered

to God for His care and pro
tection for the night.
The Negro is by nature in
clined to religion, and these
people who in the wilds of
Africa had never heard of a
loving Saviour, accepted this
marvelous teaching whole
heartedly. That they under
stood and grasped its deep
meanings is evidenced by their
incomparable ‘‘Spirituals”.
Some of the best training
, given to the white children of
that period came from their
nurses who were so truly
Christian, they passed on to
I their young charges the neces
j sity of always being obedient
and truthful.
There are many stories I
could relate of a personal na
. ture, but space forbids.
What I started out to say is
I that God used those years of
i slavery to bring about the most
i far reaching stupendous, evan
ge li st i c accomplishments on
record. The whole group of
Africans brought to America
i was, almost in toto, Christ
ianized, and their descendents
are evangelical Christians.
Had they been left in Africa
awaiting the awakening of the
I Christian churches to the ne
cessity of sending missionaries
to the ‘‘dark continent”, all of
those millions of slaves and
their multi-millions, of des
cendents, who have enjoyed,
and are enjoying the benefits
of Christian civilization, would
have lived and died in pagan
ism, or would now be roaming
the wilds of Africa ignorant of
the Gospel.
It seems similar to God’s
■ having sent the Israelites down
into Egypt, where they were
; slaves for 400 years, but pro
tected and fed till they became
numerous enough to become a
nation, and He called Moses to
i lead them out of slavery and
established them as an inde
pendent people, to teach others
i the truth of the one true God.
Today the white missionary
; is often not welcomed in As-
I rica and often God is consider
ed the God of the white man!
Is God opening the w r ay for
' the Christian Negro to go as a
missionary to the land of his
forebears? To take the Gospel
i and show his African neighbor
that Jesus died for him, just
; as He died for the white man?
Is He calling His faithful
j Negro worshipers to do what
His white servants cannot do?
Who among them is ready to
I say with Isaiah, ‘‘Here am I.
I Send me?” This may be a new
day for Christian Missions.
| Why not co-operate by the
strong white churches footing
the bills for the Negro mis
-1 sionaries to take the good news
;to our colored neighbors in
’ Africa?
