the Sunday School no studied the

unexpected honor ana found mo hard.

/ submit however, the following
thoughts, which / have cleaned from
a somewhat hasty consideration OF
the subject assigned me:
In answer to this question, one
might say and believe 1t TO be all
that would be necessary TO say, that
the Sunday School mas done for the
Negro what 1t has done for all other
people, and no more. Such an an.
swer, however, would hardly cover all
the facts TO be considered. The fact
that this question has been PROFOUND
cd as subject to write upon, by the
committee on program, seems 10 me
TO show that It's author had In mind
more than the ordinary results OF tho
Sunday School work in IT'S application
to the negro; and surely, ag IL 40.
pears to me, he had room 10 enter,
tain such views OF the subject.
In discussing this subject wo should
take into account the previous con-
dition Of the race, not his preyloua
condition in the northern slater,
but his, previous condition in the
southern states, where the great mass
Of the race Ia found. That previous
condition was one or bondage, IL.
norance and superstition Here was

darkness. The home, In It's true
meaning, was unknown to them. The
tender ties OF brother ana sister, IA
Their and mother, were weakened be.
cause they were so long ignored by
the institution of slavery. Their
ideas Of morality were blunted by it's
permitted practices. IN such conGi-
lions, and amidst such surroundings.
did the Sunday School find these
people and their children at tho end
OF the civil war. They hardly kacw
the Sabbath day from any other day
OF the week. What work there was
to be donel No other Christian ag-
ency has done more to accomplish
that work than the Sunday School.
It's doors were thrown open TO the
negro long before ne had access TO
the public school, or 20 the higher
Christian institutions OF learning.
