COMMUNICATED.

EpIroR SENTINEL: AN editorial in
YOUR paper Of the 18th, indicated thatyou
thought that the condition of the negroes
among us demanded that the christians
Of our land should withdraw their mis-
sionary efforts from other countries, un-
til the negroes here better understood the
great truths of the christian religion.
The last commission the Savior gave to
his apostles was to go forth into all the
world and preach the gospel to every
creature teaching them to observe all
things whatsoever he had commanded
them to do.
From this plain far reaching command
ment, we learn that all men needed the
gospel, from the highly cultured philo-
sophie Greek to the most ignorant and
unlettered savage of the human race.
Then as he taught them to go, they
were to teach others to 60; and, there
| fore, it follows that all who accept Christ
as their Lord and Master are in duty
bound to use their efforts to carry or send
the gospel to every creature. They are
not to stop to inquire into the merits of
the Confucian or any other system, nor
consider to what degree of civilization,
any people may have attained. But SO
long as any of the human race are with
out a knowledge of the gospel, the obli-
CATION rests upon the followers of Jesus
to preach that gospel to them.
He also commanded them the apostles)
to commence preaching at Jerusalem
this they did and within the short period
Of their lives, the gospel was preached in
many parts OF the world. Be it remem-
bered also, that they tarried not
in Jerusalem until all were con-
yerted to christianity, but while they
endeavored to preach it there, they also
tried to carry it to the regions beyond
With reference to the neglect of the
negroes among us, any one acquainted
with the state of things in the South, for
some time after the war, knows that it
was almost impossible for a Southern
preacher to get a colored audience; this
prejudice had to be overcome before
much could be done.
There is now a high school for colored
men in every Southern State, under the
control and patronage Of the Baptist of
the United States, in each OF which there
v theological course for the benefit Of
colored Baptist preachers.
DR.. Marston, n very able Baptist
preacher, has been travelling for years
inthe South, preaching to the colored peo-
pie and holding theological intitutes for
the instruction of colored preachers.
The Mississippi Baptist Convention
acting upon this idea, has for several
years had one of its ablest ministers en-
gagged in the same work and wherever
they have gone they have been earn
estly seconded by the white pastors and
laymen Of the denomination
! have confined myself to The work of
the Baptist, because know more of what
they have done.
8 have not not written this to provoke
discussion, but, that those may not be
Misunderstood, who because they love
the Savior are trying, however feebly, to
40 his will. T. b. w.
