Oh, Higher! You can’t trighten me! I’m not one of I had seen the various animad- | versions from North, South, East and West, against your sentiments with referenca to the Colored Min- istry South; but I wish to read for myself what you had said to in-| ceuse the gramblers, knowing that one can be so misrepresented through animadversions. There- fore, I wrote, asking that you send me a copy of the original article. Having read it, I must hasten to support you. For nine winters my residence has been South, and this has given me ample opportunity for observ- ing the great defects that your eight years have afforded you. In 1865 1 organized the Southern work ofthe A. M. E. Church, having with me three well educated men, one being an Elder and two Dea- cons—Jamee A. H. Johnson and T.G. Steward. From that period until this, some twenty-five years, I have been operating more or less in Southern fields, beginning with the Baltimore Conference on the Atlantic sea board and ruoning down to the Gulf. Daring the Governorship of An- drew Jolusou, and under military protection of the Secretary of War, Lopened the,work ot the A. M. E. Charch in Nashville, Tenn., which has since spread down to New Or- loans, that city having Deen previ- ously embraced in the Connection. As long as I could-lead here, there and elsewhere, the demand was for well edacated Christian muuisters. But other leaders demanded num- bers regardless of education. They called for quantity and not for quality, forgetting the historic fact that twelve-well qualified were suf ficient to overturn the heathen Ro man Empire into a Christian one. The A. M.E. leaders called for numbers.and not tor qualifications. Scores of cases like that you illus trated by the story of the cotton field hand who thought the aun too hot for him to remain at such, have come to my aotice, and I have had occasion to tell such unqualified men that I believe they left the cot ton patch and cornfield and enter- ed the ministy because they thought 1t would be an easier way to get a living. In regard to the moral qualifica- tions of the Methodis‘ and Baptist ministers, so far as I have seen and known them by personal contact, I believe that you have not over- stated, but rather un:terstated the facts. I say emphatically in the presence of the great Head of the Church, that not more than one third of the ministers, Baptist or Methodist, in the Souch are moral- ly and intellectually qualified. 1 .will stand by ‘this statement, and can demonstrate. i's trathfuluess by shameful-and painful facts, with regard to names, times and places. Doubtless I shall be assailed like yourself for speaking the truth and recording facts. Denominational bias and influence will ‘not cause me to suppreas the truth, nor to hide facts when it 18 necessary to speak out with the spirit of Cbris tian reform. the Methodists, bead, beart and soul; and while I love Methodism sincerely, I love Christianity bet- ter. Therefore, in behalf of Chris tianity, 1 speak what I believe and know to be true with reference to oar people South. I commenced forty-seven years ago to labor fora well edacated and thoroughly Christian ministry. The Apostles and Prophets were all ‘condemned for speaking out against the cor-| ruption of the chief priests aad the Churches. But a power from above compelled them to cry out. Yoar relation to the South as an educator entitles you to a respect- fal hearing. Fraternally Yours, Dantet A.
