Preaching Property

The Alabama Baptist Association have deemed it advisable for the spread of the Gospel, to own a colored preacher, Caesar Blackmoor, who preaches according to the directions of his owners. This is not so bad an idea after all, although it appears rather singular at first sight. There is one advantage in it. The churches can be sure of having sound doctrine, while they own the Minister. If any heresy is tolerated, it must be the fault of the church.
