He has a high standing among his brethren, for talents, piety, and usefulness.

There are few ministers in the West Indies who have accomplished more _for the cause of Christ_ than has Mr.H.[A] [Footnote A: It is a fact well known in Antigua and Barbadoes, that this colored missionary has been instrumental in the conversion of several clergymen of the Episcopal Church in those islands, who are now currently devoted men.] He said he had at different periods been stationed in Antigua, Anguilla, Tortola, and some other islands.

He said that the negroes in the other islands in which he had preached, were as intelligent as those in Antigua, and in every respect as well prepared for freedom.

He was in Anguilla when emancipation took place.

The negroes there were kept at work on the very _day that freedom came!_ They worked as orderly as on any other day.
