~This land, which we have watered with our tears and
our blowd, is How out itiether country,~ wrote Bishop
in F REEDOM~S
JOURNAL, the first tiewspaper published by Negroes -in
this eoutitry. Alle was bert on February 14, 1760, the
slavé of Betijainity Chew it Philadelphia, but very soon
theteafter he was-seld with his whole family to a planter
liviig it Dever, Delaware, Where he grew to manhood.

He was converted to Chifistianity. in 1777 and began
his eateet as casera ~#h#@@ years. later: Moved by the

Richard Wuteout, acis Asbury aise gave hit assignments to preach dnd in

at the St. George Meéthoilist Episcopal: Chiirch - and various
other white churches in the City.

At first the youiig clergyman thought ~he would be at
ease in the white people~s churcli, but the probletiis which
faced him became incteasingly difficult. He préached with
such power that he attracted many of his people which
caused the church to send Negroes to the gallery to: worship. Finally, one morning as Alléh and his friéhds were
being shown to the galléry of the chuich, the~. church
elder began to pray, at. which point Allen. and
his friends. knelt in prayer. ~We had fot. Jong
beeh ori our knees; wheti I fdised thy t@ad atid saw.oné of
