Mrs. Scott, of Atlanta, Ca, highly

set forth the claims of the Baptist Home
Missionary Society among the colored

in slavery, and is well acquainted with
all the sad horrors of the slave traffic A
negro, she said, was the first man killed
in the revolutionary war. When the
white men of the south went to the front
during the civil war, the colored man was
left in charge of the plantation, and she
said there is no instance on record where
any one of them betrayed his trust. She
spoke of the advantages of education to
the colored people, who prior to the war
were living in entire ignorance. Her
quotations from the scripture were re-
markable.
