At Dry Creek and Nalls, Pekin, Carter's Mills and Malee, he
has preached regularly or occasionally and has watched with incessant care
and labor the development of missions throughout a wide tract of country.
The influence of these churches has pervaded many communities. Calls have
come to him to develop new church work simply because the poor people of
other churches have seen and felt the higher standards of piety and purer
lives among many in the Congregational churches and have desired that they
too might have the advantage of such ministers.

Indeed, this long care of our churches and schools is awakening many new
movements among the colored people of the South. Our churches are
generally small and poor, but they have stood steadfastly for human
rights, for Christian equality and freedom of church membership, and for
moral and religious education. While their work has been slow, their
influence has been deep and pervasive, as has been that of our schools,
small and great.
