Tor the work OF the convention OF over
one million colored Baptists in these
United States One dollar is given for
African Missions by q person, two
thirds Of il is used for expenses, and
the poor African only gets one-thirds

beyond measure. It seems that for

doubtful il all the foreign mission

A Mistake in Place of Meeting-The Mon
ey and the Heathen-A Good Plan
RejeCted-AmOs Queries.

The above named body composed o.
colored Baptists met on the 18th of
last September in Boston. Mass. II
my candid opinion it is a pity that ever
it met there. At the headquarters OF
the American Baptist Missionary IN
ion some good things were no doub
said and done by the convention but
In the main many bad things were
done that eclipsed the good things
The color line was drawn, race prelu
dice evinced. Too much was sal
against the south, and ingratitudt
shown against the north.
THE BEeINNING OF TROUBLE.
The race prejudice began in speeches
made by the colored ministers or
board the steamer Priscilla on Lone
Island Sound, enroute to Boston, Mass
Instead of discussing the great work OF
the convention, in foreign and home
mission work, Sabbath-school and edu.
cation work; the race question anC
notherners and sOutherners status o
the people were reviewed.
THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.
In Boston patriotic" proceeding,
were more presented than religion,
proceedings for the furthering Of the
cause Of Christ and the building up q
His kingdom. It may with safety b
pronounced political religious gath.
ering Political tactics ard up wer,
in the ascendency. Many of tn,
preachers showed that they are NOR
at home in a political meeting or OF
the stump, than at home in the pal.
pit or in q religious meeting where
piety should prevail and holmes,
should be unto the Lord.

Oh, lovely sight
A dew-drop bright.
Upon a blushiug rose;
A sight to cause
Venus to pause,
And all her mind compose;
And wonder why,
Her charms must die.
Beside this Low ,ly thing,
The answer says
Gods purest praise
This dewy gem doth sing.
