DR.. Sunderland permitted the use of
his church for lecture by Frederick
Douglass, the celebrated colored lead
er and orator. Several families left
the church on that account, for race
feeling ran high, and Lincoln's
emancipation proclamation was more
popular everywhere else in the north
than in the national capital Many
families worshiping there were or
had been slave owners. and they did
not approve of negro in their pull
pit, even though he were conceded to
be man of superior intellectual
force and marvellous requirements 1t
is not likely that any other preacher
in Washington at that time could
have retained his charge under such
circumstances. But the people of the
First church Endorsed what DR. Sun
derland had done. Several of the
families who felt greatly aggrieved
afterwards came back to the church.
DR. Sunderland was a natural con-
frnversialist. In 1872 he went to Salt
