Kellman Family Papers and Photographs,

Scope and Content Note

Writer says that the quarreling between Presbyterians and Baptists is strange because their history is so similar; can't understand why so many people are against the Bible Sabbath, but the martyrdom of John James in 1661 has kept the Seventh Day Baptists alive; evidence exists that Aimee MacPherson of Four Square Temple fame committed suicide; the Zambezi Industrial Mission did not like Booth's establishment of a separatist mission which might have been the cause of the hostility; unable to recall who said that Livingstone was harsh with the Africans, but Barrar told him about the laws preventing “whites from striking natives”; “the Negroes were very proud, and the missionaries' teaching encouraged the natives to put on airs which irritated the planters”; a general uprising was impossible because the Africans were so divided; “colored people will be long in reaching the white man's level of civilization.”
