Here we have in a nut-shell an illustration of how the work may be done. Representatives of the inland tribes may be gathered into suitable schools, taught the things which pertain to the Christian faith, and practiced in the arts of teaching and preaching, under the supervision of wise and experienced missionaries, and then returned to their tribes to declare the good news of a salvation which, through the blessing of God, they have experienced. The illustration we have chosen would indicate that it were wise to establish the training-school in Africa itself; and the fate of scores of white missionaries and others of our race, who have perished on account of the climate of Africa, points to the wisdom of selecting black men as teachers in these training-schools, whenever suitable persons for the position can be found among the colored people. The venerable Dr. Moffat affirms that black missionaries for Africa is the “Divine plan.” Dr. Blyden tells us that the climate of Africa recognizes only pure negroes with favor. It conforms to no prejudices or customs of society in assigning mulattoes to the negro race. Unmixed black men alone are welcomed with long life and happiness. God sets bounds to habitations, but the love of Christ in God is unbounded. The good tidings of great joy has no metes. The heathen and the uttermost parts of the earth are within the borders of the kingdom. The elect and precious are separated by no climate or partition walls. They shall come up from the North, South, East and West. We can only hope to succeed in doing our part towards hastening the consummation when we have fallen into line with the logic of events, and have accepted the new phases of work for the negro as they are providentially unfolded. * * * * * ITEMS FROM THE FIELD. SAVANNAH, GA.—The pastor of the church at this place writes: “The standard of piety among the colored people about us is so low that it is difficult to create a moral conscience in our own people, and this fact shows the great need there is for our churches.” There has been an unusual work of grace among his people, and the “meetings have been quiet and orderly, as with a New England congregation.” A number have been brought into the church whose experience has been most satisfactory; none of them have had dreams or visions, but all tell of simple faith in the Saviour, and express the purpose of a new life of intelligent obedience to Him. “We are beginning to rise above the superstitious notions which once prevailed.”
