"There are now fifteen Independent
colored churches in Boston, where thlr-
ty years ago it was difficult TO support
Dne," says the Boston Transcript. 1.-The
colored people are not crowded out of
the white churches. although very few
attend them now. but they prefer to
worship by themselves. One reason
for this is that education has fitted
more colored people to be leaders Of
their own people and pastors of their
own churches"
