Show moreKirkland 43c To all, who are desirous of promoting the kingdom of Christ, on earth, in the salvation of sinners, the following narrative and proposal are offered, to excite and solicit their charity and prayers. There are two negro men, members of the first congregational church, in NewPort, on Rhode Island; named Bristol Yamma and John Quaminè , who were hopefully converted some years ago, and have, from that time, sustained a good character, as Christians, and made good proficiency in christian knowledge. The latter is the son of a rich man at Annamaboe; and was sent, by his father, to this place, for an education, among the English; and then to be returned home: which the person, to whom he was committed, engaged to perform, for a good reward. But, instead of performing his obligation, he sold him, as a slave, for life. But God, in his providence, has lately put it in the power, of both of them, to obtain their freedom. They joined in purchasing a ticket in a lottery: which drew a prize of three hundred dollars. With this, and some other helps, they have purchased their liberty. The former is however in debt fifty dollars; as he could not obtain his freedom under two hundred, which he must procure by labour, unless relieved by the charity charity of others. These persons, thus acquainted with Christianity, and apparently devoted to the service of Christ, have good natural abilities, are about thirty years of age, apt, steady and judicious; and speak their own native language, the language of a numerous, potent, heathen nation, in Guinea, to which they both belong: they are not only willing, but very desirous, to risk their lives, and quit all worldly prospects, in attempting to open a door, for the propagation of Christianity, among their poor ignorant perishing heathen brothers; if divine providence shall open a way to it. The concurrence of all these things, has induced to set on foot a proposal, to send them to Africa, to preach the gospel to their heathen brethren, if, upon trial, they shall appear, in any good measure, qualified for this business. In order to which, they must be put to school, and taught to read and write better than they now can, and be instructed more fully in divinity, etc. And if, upon trial, they appear to make good proficiency, and shall be thought, by competent judges, to be fitted for such a mission, it is not doubted, that money may be procured, sufficient to carry the design into execution. What is now wanted and asked, is money to pay the debt mentioned, and to support them at school, to make the trial whether they may be fitted for the proposed mission. Whatever shall be given to this end, and put into the hands of the subscribers, they engage faithfully to improve, to this purpose only: and to promote the proposed mission, if more shall be given than is necessary to prepare them for it, according to their best discretion: and to be at all times ready, to give an account, to all who desire it, of all they shall receive, and the manner in which it hath been expended. As god, in his providence, has so far opened the way to this, by raising up these persons, and ordering the remarkable concurring circumstances, that have been mentioned, there is most probably no other instance in America, where so many things conspire to point out the way for a mission of this kind, with such encouragement to pursue it: and as numbers have already manifested their approbation and readiness to forward it, may it not be hoped, it will have the patronage and assistance of all the pious and benevolent? And it is humbly proposed, to those who are sensible of the iniquity of the slave trade, the great inhumanity and cruelty of enslaving so many thousands of our fellow men, every year, with all its horrid attendants; and are ready to bear testimony against it, in all proper ways, and do their utmost to put a stop to it: whether they have not a good opportunity of doing this, by cheerfully contributing according to their abilities, to promote this design: and whether this will not be the the best compensation we are able to make the poor Africans, for the injuries they are constantly receiving, by this unrighteous practice and all its attendants. But, aside from this consideration, may it not be hoped, that all who are heartily praying "thy kingdom come," will liberally contribute to forward this attempt, to send the glorious gospel of the blessed God to the nations who now worship false Gods, and dwell in the habitations of cruelty, and the land of the shadow of death: especially as the king of Zion has promised, that whosoever parts with anything in this world, for the kingdom of God's sake, shall receive manifold more in this present time: and in the world to come life everlasting. Ezra Stiles . Samuel Hopkins . NewPort, Rhode Island August 31st 1773 (copy)
