Overview

Excerpt from The Hand of God With the Black Race: A Discourse Delivered Before the Pennsylvania Colonization Society Its missionary aspects alone are enough to enlist the a i'der and liberalit y of every Christian man, for this cause of colonization in Africa. Its patriotism, its philanthropy, its worldly wisdom, its whole assemblage of merits and values, the rarest and best that ever combined in any society of man's organization, have been so palpable and imposing, upon the minds of its friends, and the passions of its enemies, that its grandest claim of all, for which alone it should be cherished and promoted, if every thing besides in its history had been foolishness, to this hour, has been strangely unappreciated. In its day of small things, for the spread of his kingdom and the knowledge of himself, beholld what God hath wrought 1 Devil worship and brutal violence have already ded from six hundred miles of the benighted coast; and churches, and schools, and a college now dot the whole conquest and invite, with wonderful success, two hundred and fifty thousand heathen, under its jurisdiction, to accept the light and liberty of the Gospel. And far beyond the selvage of that evangelized and evangelizing shore, the preachers of J esus Christ have penetrated the interior, and have already been hailed with welcome, by the barbarous idolators, who swarm upon its fertile hills and valleys.
