Excerpt from Afro-American Church Work and WorkersIn sending forth this little vol ume, the author may be pardoned for referring to his own labors in 'church Journalism. For well nigh eighteen years has he edited and published a journal in the interest of church work among the colored race. In addition to the literary, and a large part of the mechanical work, in its publication, it has been at his own financial cost. We do not regret the sacrifice we have made. Nor is this little volume in any way to financially help us per sonally. In addition to the circu lation of information about the col ored work, it is our most ardent hope that sufficient may be realized from the sale of this publication to cancel a mortgage of a few hun dred dollars on the Rectory of St. James' Church. Our little congre gation, at present, is engaged in wrestling with a $4000 debt upon our church, and we are loth to di vert their effort therefrom to the debt upon the Rectory. We shall be profoundly grateful to all who may help us in this undertaking by purchasing copies of this little book.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
