An anti-Catholic pamphlet aimed at A.M.E. Church members. "Mose is a colored Methodist, but has been our sexton so long that he is a part of our white Presbyterian church. What would we do without him, I cannot imagine." The remainder of this curious little pamphlet consists of a conversation between Mose and author about religion. Mose: "What is dese priests arter 'mong de colored folks? Dey never bothered demselves afore 'bout us." Doctor: "Well," said I, "Mose, you never had a vote, had you, until the war set you free and Congress gave you that right? Maybe that has something to do with it."first and only printing, scarce. oclc locates only one copy.
