Excerpt from The Redemption of Africa, Vol. 2: A Story of Civilization, With Maps, Statistical Tables and Select Bibliography of the Literature of African Missions The Reformed Episcopal church has, absolutely, done little, relatively, much, for the American Negro. In 1875 Bishop Cummins granted canonical recognition to four hundred colored Episcopalians in South Carolina. Stevens, his evangelist, afterward bishop, opened a trainingsschool for the ministry. Since 1882 the work has received aid from the general council. In 1892 these Reformed Episcopal Negroes numbered twenty lay: preachers, thirtyzeight congregations and eighteen hun dred and twentysfour communicants; maintained a paro chial school at Charleston; and supported a girl in India. The women also send annual aid to Africa. Bishop Stevens before 1861 trained the boys who as Stevens Battery fired the first Shot at Fort Sumter; in 1893 he participated in the Chicago Congress on Africa. So swift are the changes of life and especially in America*! When Turner, a Negro bishop of a Methodist denomi nation, spoke of the wrongs of his race, the southern white man solemnly affirmed that the southern black man was right. The Episcopalian and the Methodist alike advocated governmental aid for the Negro emigrant. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
