  • William E. Gilroy, D.D. (Editor of The Congregationalist, Boston MA. Gilroy's articles were published nationally in newspapers for apparently decades. I have seen a brilliantly written article from Gilroy on page 4 the 16 November 1929 edition of The Clarksburg Exponent, Clarksburg West Virginia. The article urged new attitudes of kindness and love toward all racial groups. This article is as relevant today as it was in 1929. According to The American Missionary Volume 76, 1922, Gilroy took a tour of the South to get acquainted with the works of the A.M.A. and came back a profound believer in its value. Gilroy's articles were obviously still being published in the late 1950s as seen in the links below.)1 2 3 4
