This fact in the history of one person is illustrated on a still greater scale in the history of a community, which is a mere aggregation of similar individuals. A wave of emotional excitement sweeps over a whole neighborhood, aro'using the negroes to frenzy ; there is a universal wail of unhappiness, followed by a shout, as a trium- phant expression of eternal security through faith, and yet no special change is observed in the course of the community afterwards, not even in a short period imm...e- diately succeeding these revivals.
The divorce between religion and morality in the life of the negro fills the observer at first with astonishment, for it seems impossible that he can be both devout and depraved at the same moment, but if he is suspected in the beginning, of h3rpocrisy, that suspicion is dispelled after a brief association with him. It is true that he is not lacking in capacity for dissimulation, as is frequently disclosed in his personal relations with the whites ; nev- ertheless, it is doubtful whether he could play a hypo- critical part for any length of time, for the reason that it I04 THE PLANTATION NEGRO AS A FREEMAN is not practicable for him to carry out, with unswerving steadiness of will, any purpose that requires an unremit- ting watch over his natural impulses and a resolute-re- pression of them when they rise.
