Rh work of The Recorder, or to attempt to tell its history; for to every churchman The Christian Recorder is a familiar periodical.

It was established as the official organ of the A. M. E. Church, and has manfully fought the fight. Its heroic efforts

in the days of slavery for Abolition, are well known to the Afro-American student of times and events.

Rev. Campbell brought its editorial work to a high standard, which was carried even higher by succeeding editors.

Rev. Campbell resigned his position after a few years' service, and was succeeded by Rev. John M. Brown, who afterward became Bishop.
