NEGRO RELIGION


HENDERSON, Tenn, July 27.-Immedi-
ately after the war, most Of the negroes
dissolved their. connection with the white
churches, andlset up separate organizations,
and, may almost say, religion for them
selves, for it is different from any Of the
other creeds Of this country, though re-
sembling the Hard Shell Baptists in some
respects. They usually hold their protraet-
ed meetings during the summer months,
as their churches are too open for winter,
and in many ueighborhoOds where they
have no churches, they preach under arbOrs
built in groves.
During their time Of seeking" as they
call it, they are unfit for any business, since
it is their custom 10 retire to secluded spots
and spend most Of their time in prayer.
Their position for secret prayer is in most
cases fiat upon the ground, with the face
downward, and they pray as if they were in
an agony Of despair. Their prayers some =
times take very practical turn. Irenem-
Der hearing Of one whose prayer was some
what in this strain; 80 Lord, give this
poor darkey bout a hundred acres of Old
masters Land. Thou knowest he has more
than he can work, and thy poor servant
ain't GOT nary FOOT Their services are
coudu'ted On nearly the same plans as
other denominations, alternating with
prayer and song before and after the se.-
mon, which is usually a long, incOherent
TRADE, interspeiSed with SCriptural quota
tions at random.
Some Of these sermons, however, are
very figurative, and the figures used are
quaint and hOmely. l recOllect a sermon
on NOah's ark, in which the preacher said
that it was built with the hammer Of re-
pentance, the chisel Of faith, and the saw
Of salvation. In church they commence
their prayers in low tOne, which gradu-
ally aseends to a higher pitch, when the
congregation set up sort of moan, and
this finally breaks out into a general song,
accompanied by regular sWsying Of their
bodies. They then begin to shout, shake
hands, jump into the air and fall upon the
floor as if in commissions. All this is con
sidered evidences that their religion is sim
cere.
Before being admitted into church the
colored converts are required to tell a long
experience Of their struggles with the arch
6end, which they relate as a struggle of the
body as well as of the spirit. Most of
these recitals are as fanciflll as the confess
ions of an opium eater, which is an effect
Of their highly imaginative natures. Time
and education may DO away with the OBJ
| iectionable features Of their worship, bat it
is to be hoped that they may retain their
zeal and sincerity.
