Peculiar Religious Notions
My people have peculiar notions about religion.
An old brother came into meeting one
night and said: "I have had a bad time since
I was here a week ago. I have been sometimes
up and sometimes down, I have gnawed
hard bones and swallowed bitter pills, and I
believe I have broken all the Commandments;
but, thank the Lord, I have n't yet lost my
religion." The Rise of the Negro.
