Excerpt from The Catholic World, Vol. 70: A Monthly Magazine of General Literature and Science; October, 1899, to March, 1900 In Eastern lands Catholic missionaries deal with pagans; we, however, who labor for the negroes in the United States are dealing with a people who cannot be classed as pagans even if in great part unbaptized. Whatever religious senti ments and ideals, training and education the American negroes enjoy, the vast bulk of them have imbibed from their Protest ant white neighbors, whose slaves they and their ancestors had been for two and one-half centuries. The African Methodist Church has its bishops, ministers, itinerants, deacons, elders, exhorters, class-leaders, as well as congregations fully equal to if not more than one million and a half. Likewise the Afri can Baptist Church has the same Officers, except bishops, and perhaps a larger number of followers - all black also in every case. In the hands of these negro churchmen are the finances of their respective congregations, which are never laggards in the support and maintenance of their clergy and churches, having a uniform yearly tax, besides Sunday offerings and special efforts, vg., lectures, concerts, bazaars, etc., not to speak of help from the royal generosity with which their Protestant white countrymen pour out money in supporting them.
