MIR. GRANDERsoN's REMARKS.
The Methodist church has heart that
throbs for all the children of Adam. When
ever men are found the great big Methodist
church is somewhere near. We once occu-
pied an obscure place in the church with the
letters upon our bleeding limbs. But thank
God tonight we occupy blessed place in
the church with not fetter upon our limbs,
and this has been brought about by the un-
compromising attitude of the church in the
dark days of slavery.
The church after the war found the South
impoverished by the struggle, found the ne
gro impoverished by slavery, not only found
him impoverished but found him in degrade
tion and in darkness that could be felt. For
remember that slavery gave us a religion Of
fear and not of love-
The church has come to us with its soul
saving gospel, has come to US with its gospel
of purity, come to us with its gospel of pow
er, come to us with its gospel that points not
only to salvation when we die, but points to
the lamb of God that takes away sin now."
