uable extent,
worshipping in our families, preaching three times every Lord's Day,
baptizing frequently from ten to thirty at a time, in the Savannah,
and administering the sacred supper, not only without molestation,
but in the presence and with the approbation and encouragement of many
of the white people."[56]

Let us recapitulate. We began with the church at Silver Bluff, South
Carolina. We were next attracted to Canada, and then to far-off Africa
by the labors of David George, the first regular pastor at Silver
Bluff. Again we follow a portion of the Silver Bluff Church to
Savannah, Georgia. In Savannah we see a church growing under the
labors of George Liele, then we find Liele and Amos in the British
West Indies, leading large congregations of Negro Baptists. Once more
we turn our eyes homeward, and we are attracted to the church at
Silver Bluff, South Carolina, to the church at Augusta, Georgia, and
the church at Savannah, which, having endured the severest trials,
rejoices in recognition and peace--the church of today.
