A large appropriation was made from the Murray Fund. In 1866 this Committee became the Committee in Aid of the Freedmen; this Committee was laid down in 1873. The concern for mission work among African-Americans in the South was taken up by the new Bible School and... Missionary Board that also took responsibility for First Day Schools.
