The friends of our adorable Redeemer will, no doubt, rejoice to find that this large body of Christians negroes, under the patronage of some of the most respectable persons in their city, “have opened a subscription for the erecting of a place of worship in the city of Savannah, for the society of black people of the Baptist denomination—­ the property to be vested in the hands of seven or more persons in trust for the church and congregation.”

Their case[4] is sent to England, recommended by
     J. JOHNSON,[5] Minister of the Union Church.

     EBENEZER HILLS. 
     JOSEPH WATTS. 
     D. MOSES VALLOTTON.

Kingston, Jamaica, May 18, 1792.

Rev. and Dear Sir,

In answer to yours I wrote December 18 last, and as I have not received a line from you since, I send this, not knowing but the other was miscarried.  Mr. Green has called upon me, and very kindly offered his service to deliver a letter from me into your hands; he also advised me to send you a copy of our church covenant, which I have done:  being a collection of some of the principal texts of scripture which we observe, both in America and this country, for the direction of our practice.  It is read once a month here on sacrament meetings, that our members may examine if they live according to all those laws which they profess, covenanted and agreed to; by this means our church is kept in scriptural subjection.  As I observe in my last the chiefest part of our society are poor illiterate slaves, some living on sugar estates, some on mountains, pens, and other settlements, that have no learning, no not to know so much as a letter in the book; but the reading this covenant once a month, when all are met together from the different parts of the island, keeps them in mind of the commandments of God.  And by shewing the same to the gentlemen of the legislature, and the justices, and magistrates, when I applied for a sanction, it gave them general satisfaction; and wherever a negro servant is to be admitted, their owners, after the perusal of it, are better satisfied.  We are this day raising the roof on the walls of our meeting house; the height of the walls from the foundation is seventeen feet.  I have a right to praise God, and glorify him for the manifold blessings I have received, and do still receive from him.  I have full liberty from Spanish Town, the capital of this country, to preach the Gospel throughout the Island:  the Lord is blessing the work everywhere, and believers are added daily to the church.  My tongue is not able to express the goodness of the Lord.  As our meeting house is out of town “(about a mile and a half),” I have a steeple on it, to have a bell to give notice to our people and more particularly to the owners
