XLII. +FEBRUARY, 1888. +No. 2. + + * * * * * + + + + +American Missionary Association. + + * * * * * + + + + +DEATH OF REV. JAMES POWELL, D.D. + +"He whom thou lovest is dead," were the sorrowful words of the stricken +sisters concerning their brother; we repeat them to our many friends who +enjoyed the personal friendship of our beloved brother Powell. These +friends cannot restore him to us, as _the_ Friend restored Lazarus to +his family; but they can sympathize with us in our great bereavement. It +is scarcely three months since our honored president, Gov. Washburn, was +suddenly taken away, and we have not yet found his successor; and now, +Dr. Powell has been removed almost as suddenly, and we can scarcely hope +to find one to take his place. Our only consolation is, that God makes +no mistakes, and that, while men die, His work goes on. + +The death of Dr. Powell was unexpected, but its cause lay far back. When +only nineteen years of age, he entered the service of the Christian +Commission, and in the malarial regions of the South, the germs of +disease were planted in his system. They were the cause of frequent and +distressing turns of illness, while his irrepressible energy never +allowed him to take the rest necessary for recovery. The physicians +pronounced the immediate cause of his death to be apoplexy, but most men +carrying his burden of ill-health would have yielded long before; only +his immeasurable hopefulness and activity sustained him to the end. + +Rev. James Powell, D.D., was born in Wales, December 25, 1842. At an +early age he came to this country, and partly by his own exertions and +partly by the help of friends whom he had won to himself by his genial +nature and evident indications of future usefulness, he obtained an +education, graduating from Dartmouth College in 1866, and from Andover +Theological Seminary in 1869. He was installed as pastor of the church +at Newburyport in November, 1869, his only pastorate, and remained there +till February, 1873. His health being impaired by his incessant labors +as pastor, he was persuaded by his friend, Rev. Mr. Pike, to aid in +introducing the Jubilee Singers to the English public, with the further +purpose of either remaining abroad to manage the affairs of the Singers +in Great Britain, or of returning and temporarily taking Mr. Pike's +place in Connecticut and New York, as District Secretary of the +Association. The latter alternative was finally decided upon, and Mr. +Powell assumed these duties in the latter part of the year 1873. A year +afterwards, on the resignation of Rev. Dr. Patton from our Chicago +office, Mr. Powell, who had shown remarkable gifts as a speaker, was at +once selected as District Secretary of our Western department. Here he +remained for nearly ten years, when some changes were required in our +district offices and he was called to New York as Assistant +Corresponding Secretary, and entrusted with the supervision of the +entire collecting field. The work he had done so acceptably and +efficiently at the West was followed by equally effective services in +his wider field at the East. In the three years of the recent burden of +debt upon the Association, the energies of Dr. Powell were called into +full play, and when, at our last Annual Meeting, we rejoiced in +deliverance from debt, it was felt that the gratifying result was due in +a large measure to his eloquence by voice and pen. At that meeting Dr. +Powell was elected Corresponding Secretary of the Association. + +Bro. Powell was an orator born, not made. His eloquence was not of the +Websterian sort, massive and logical, but rather of that magnetic kind +which wins and sways an audience at will, sometimes to smiles and then +to tears, but always with definite persuasion. He was a brilliant writer +as well as speaker. His pen glowed with a special inspiration, and was +prolific as well. The pages of the AMERICAN MISSIONARY, the columns of +the weekly religious press, the numerous circulars issued from this +office and his abundant correspondence, all bear witness to this. He was +a wise man in counsel. The impassioned and imaginative speaker is not +usually characterized by a cautious judgment or administrative gifts; +but we have found in this office that when grave questions arose for +consideration, Dr. Powell was remarkably conservative and judicious. But +the crowning glory of the man was his bright and genial nature, and his +warm and devoted Christian character. It was this that won all hearts, +that made him welcome on every platform and in every pulpit, that bound +his friends to him in warmest attachment, that opened the doors of all +homes to him and that leaves the memory of brightness behind him in the +offices where he toiled and in his own dear home. His life went out not +as the lightning's flash, that leaves the deeper darkness behind, nor as +the setting sun, that has the night before and after, but his departure +from life was only the entrance into eternal brightness, and leaves a +radiance behind that will be a perpetual joy and consolation to his +friends. He was born on Christmas day, and the festivities of another +Christmas day were not wholly past when he died. His birth was a +Christmas gift to earth, and, be it said with reverence, his death was a +Christmas gift to Heaven, for through the grace of our Lord Jesus +Christ, and the sanctifying influence of the blessed spirit, we believe +he was made meet to be presented to the Father, in whose hands we leave +him. + + + + + +A WORD TO OUR WORKERS + +To lead a people long crushed by oppression away from the degradations +of slavery into a true and intelligent freedom, to teach those who have +no inheritance of steady purpose to rise into new habits of thought and +feeling, and away from the heredity of superstitions which were +unrelated with morality, into a faith which really purifies the heart +and the life, is not the work of a year, nor of fifty years. It means +patient continuance in well doing. It means consecration, responsibility +and self-sacrifice on the part of those who take upon themselves and +into themselves, the sins and the sorrows, and the struggles and +failures of those who are to be saved. + +Nothing but a consecration that becomes a passion of the soul in +Christ's love and for Christ's sake, and an abiding faith in the triumph +of his kingdom of love and righteousness, will explain the earnestness +and labor of the devoted souls in our mission work, who are God's kings +and priests ministering to the lowly, and crowding their days with +service for those who have been the victims of the strong, and who, now +weak and poor, are despised in their poverty and weakness. + + * * * * * + +All honor to those who are giving themselves to break down the +injustices of a cruel and unchristian caste, all honor to the noble men +and women who are working to rescue millions from the woeful inheritance +of centuries, as well as to save them from the dominion of the sin which +is common to man. + +Others may honor Kings and Queens and Princes who have had their +greatness thrust upon them, but we will stand with those who accentuate +their reverence for lives consecrated to the good of humanity, who are +afflicted with the sorrows of God's poor, and oppressed with their +burdens, and whose prayers and songs are _God save the people_, Their +lives may not be chronicled in the pages which tell of those who lived +to make others serve them, but they are shining names upon God's Book of +Life, and in the day of the coronation of the nobility which God sees +and records, their names will stand out like radiant stars in the +heavens. One of such was JAMES POWELL, whose life was a grand sacrifice +of undeviating love for those whose necessities made him feel that he +was debtor to them, until he gave them the price of his life which +Christ had redeemed. + +Subordinating himself to this consecration with incessant desire, he has +left his example which may well be inspiration and strength to all who +are working and praying for those who have been trodden under the feet +of the strong, and he has left his influence for tens of thousands. + + * * * * * + +In the prophecy which foretold Christ, centuries before he came it was +written, "_He shall not fail, nor be discouraged_." Fellow workers, it +is not the consecration of a year, nor of a generation, that is to +restore the millions for whom we work to the places where God would +bring them. The pitiless centuries cannot be redeemed in one day. +Doubtless the work may seem slow and the time may seem long, but every +good deed counts, and no prayer is unheard. The good work is not in +vain. The progress already made is wonderful. The workers who have +consecrated themselves may die in their unfinished work, but God has +pledged himself that the work shall go on. His promises and his +providences will work together like cogs in a wheel. We shall not fail, +and we need not be discouraged. Such lives as that of JAMES POWELL are +not too common in human history, but they show us how the divine can +endue the human with its own power, and how God can make souls great +witnesses for God. Some tell us that the heroic ages have passed away, +but they have not. No! They will last until the world shall be saved, +for the inspirations which come from the spirit of God and from the +cross of Christ will live in hearts which will burn to save those who +need to be saved. + + * * * * * + +Since the death of Dr. Powell, we have received numerous letters from +all parts of the country expressing sympathy in our great bereavement, +which the writers shared profoundly with us. The admiration and love +entertained by the writers, and uttered in these letters, toward our +beloved brother, is gratifying to us, as it is also to his family. In +the pressure of duties consequent upon his death and burial, we have not +found time to reply to these letters, and take this occasion to +acknowledge their receipt and to express our heartfelt thankfulness to +the writers. + + * * * * * + +We shall not be able to make the stirring appeals to provide for the +exigent demands of our great work which our readers have been wont to +recognize as coming from the heart of Dr. Powell, who had the oversight +and burden of the collecting fields. + +Never was our work more critical, never more urgent and never more +hopeful. + +The winter months, on which we must chiefly rely, are here, and are fast +moving into the past. The work has been laid upon us and it would seem +faithless to our sacred trust to sacrifice any part of it. But we must +not take on a debt. We can only be saved from putting the knife to our +work or of trying to do what we cannot pay for, if the faithful pastors +of the churches will give their very present help. If the pastors who +believe in the work, which includes the education and salvation of the +needy among four races, will give their churches and Christian stewards +a good chance to know how great the cause is and what its honest appeals +are, we are confident that the Lord will deliver us from impending +trouble. + + +We will gladly furnish every pastor, and others who will send to us for +them, such facts and figures as may be helpful in representing the work. +Surely we can depend upon those who love God and their country for +thoughtful remembrance and ready response. + + * * * * * + +The Rev. C.J. Ryder who has been assigned to the District Secretaryship +of the Eastern district for the collecting field in New England, will, +upon his return from a supervisory tour in the extreme South, succeed +our friend, Dr. Woodworth, in the Boston office. + +It is well known to our readers that Superintendent Ryder, two and a +half years ago, was induced to assume the laborious work then demitted +by Rev. Dr. Roy upon a similar transfer of Dr. Roy from the Field +Superintendency to the District Secretaryship of the West, with his +office in Chicago. To those who have read the "Notes in the Saddle" from +the South, in our magazine, written by Supt. Ryder, we need add no word +of introduction. Nor need we say that he will carry into his new +department of our common work the same energy, zeal and interest which +has characterized the past. With his presentations of the work, and with +his personal knowledge and experience of the field, and of every part of +it, we anticipate for the new District Secretary a hearty welcome and +co-operation on the part of our pastors and churches. The work in the +South will be temporarily supervised, and arrangements have been made +for this by the New York office. + + * * * * * + +In retiring from his long-time trust, the Rev. Dr. Woodworth bears with +him the thanks of multitudes of God's poor in the South, and the high +regard of all who have been associated in co-operative work with him. It +is not impossible that he may yet see his way to add to his record of +many years, still further service in another department of this varied +work. + + * * * * * + +DEATH OF REV. WM. H. ELLIS. + +Rev. William H. Ellis died Nov. 28th, at Troy, N.C., aged thirty-five +years and six months. He entered the work of the A.M.A. in North +Carolina in 1878 and continued in that field. At the time of his death +he was pastor of the Congregational Church and teacher of the +Association's school, at Troy, N.C. He was a graduate of Williams +College and continued his habits of study during the years of his +arduous labor as a missionary. + +He had been for a long time in feeble health, but was unwilling to leave +his post of duty even temporarily to secure his recovery. His services +in this field of the A.M.A. have been characterized by self-denial, +patience and faithfulness. He was intensely loyal to his convictions and +died having fought the good fight, a Christian hero. + + + + + + +THE FIELD. + +1887-1888. + +The following list presents the names and post-office addresses of those +who are employed in the Churches, Institutions and Schools aided by the +American Missionary Association. + + + + +THE SOUTH. + + + + +WASHINGTON, D.C. + +THEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT, HOWARD UNIVERSITY. + +Rev.

RYDER. + +I write these notes under the shadow of the great affliction that has +fallen upon the A.M.A. in the death of Dr. Powell. Although he was at the +head of another department of A.M.A. work, we always knew that we had in +him a kind and thoughtful friend, and one who would cordially co-operate +with the other officers in their far-reaching plans for the development +of the work, even though it added to his cares and burdens in gathering +the funds necessary to carry out these plans. We who have our work and +responsibilities in the field, no less than those who were in the office +with Dr. Powell, would bear our tribute of love, and scatter the +blossoms of holy memories upon this new-made grave. + + * * * * * + +Two State Associations of unusual interest were held during the month of +November. The Central South Association met with the Trinity Church, in +Athens, Ala., Nov. 3d. This Association includes the churches of +Tennessee and two or three of those in Alabama. The reports from the +churches were very complete. Only one church in the Association was +without regular ministerial services, and that church had recently lost +its pastor by death. They are now supplied by a competent and faithful +minister. The temperance question was discussed with great enthusiasm. +The influence of Fisk University on the right side, during the recent +prohibition battle in Tennessee, can scarcely be over-estimated. Many +expressed the judgment that the argument of the Southern whites, that +the colored people defeated prohibition, was not true. One pastor +reported that his county went almost solidly against prohibition, and +there was only one colored man in the county, so far as he knew, and he +was a staunch prohibitionist. Some argued that while so many churches +and Women's Christian Temperance Unions and Young Men's Christian +Associations shut out respectable colored people, and saloons welcomed +those who were not respectable, it would be a difficult task for the +better class to induce the more ignorant to vote against those who +welcomed them and in favor of those who shut them out. Is there not +considerable force in their arguments? + +A young colored man, who had been a preacher in one of the old churches +of the South and had become disgusted with its ignorance, superstition +and immorality, presented his credentials and applied for admission into +the Congregational Association of the State. This action of his is a +straw which shows which way the wind of religious thought blows among +the intelligent colored people of the South. The weather-vane points +toward Congregationalism. An aged pastor, who had endured ostracism and +violence in New York State in the early times, on account of his +anti-slavery opinions, was present during the meetings of the +Association, and added greatly to their interest. It was a thrilling +sight to him to look upon these colored brethren during their earnest +and often eloquent discussions, and to remember how much he had suffered +in their behalf in other days. Trinity School opened its doors wide and +offered generous hospitality to the pastors and delegates. On the whole, +it was one of the best meetings the Association has ever enjoyed. + + * * * * * + +The Congregational Association of the State of Georgia met with the +church at Macon, November 9th-14th. The church and its new pastor, a son +of Connecticut, did their utmost to make the meetings pleasant and +helpful. The band of earnest Christian teachers of Lewis Normal +Institute, the A.M.A. school at Macon, joined hands with the church and +pastor in helping to make the sessions of the Association profitable. +Here, too, as in the Central South Association, the temperance question +held a prominent place in the discussions. There was not a member of the +Association but was heartily in favor of prohibition. The Atlanta +campaign was on in all its heat and passion, and beseeching requests +were made by the delegates from that city that prayer might be offered +for them as they passed through the heat of this battle against +legalizing crime. Almost every church in the Association was represented +in this meeting and one new church applied for admission. This church +stands near the old prison pen of Andersonville and so the blood of the +martyrs proves the seed of the church, whether they wear the monk's cowl +of a Huss or the ragged blue of our country. The church at Charleston, +S.C., reported two missions just established in the destitute parts of +that city. All the churches in this Association assisted by the A.M.A. +are struggling towards self-support under helpful pressure from that +Society. I am glad to report that the church at Savannah has taken upon +itself the support of its pastor and local expenses for the next year. +The churches in this Association, although poor and often in serious +financial straits themselves, showed their appreciation of other lines +of Christian work by passing the following resolution: + + _Resolved,_ That in view of the financial embarrassments of the + Home Missionary Society, the pastors of the churches urge upon + their people the duty of taking up a collection for the benefit of + that Society. + + * * * * * + +As illustrating the need of intelligent and decent church services in +the South, I record the following facts, which were related to me by +those who knew of them personally. A colored preacher of the "old-time" +sort preached on the Judgment Day. He held the meeting from evening till +well into the night. He arranged with a worthless fellow to hide himself +in the woods just outside the church, with a tremendously big +dinner-horn, with instructions to blow upon it at a certain signal. At +the awful hour of midnight, when, by entreaty and appeal and frightful +figures of speech, the preacher had worked the people up into a frenzy +of excitement and terror, he exclaimed, "Listen, I reckon I hear Gabriel +getting ready to blow now. De last day am on us, de judgment am right +here, whar you sinners now? Listen." And with bated breath they +listened. Just then there came a fearful blast on the stillness of the +midnight air, and the scene that followed can better be imagined than +described. Helter-skelter over the benches and over each other, the +terrified people scrambled for the mourners' bench. The preacher +boastfully told afterward, that "dar want scarsely one sinner but what +wah effected." + +The quiet forms of worship in our Congregational churches, and the +intelligent preaching of the A.M.A. ministers, are fast bringing about a +state of things which will drive out such church circuses, with their +ministerial clowns. God speed the day! + + * * * * * + +During a considerable portion of the last month I have been "riding +double," as our honored Secretary, Dr. Beard, has been in the saddle +with me. His knowledge of the field, gained through these frequent +personal visits, is of great advantage to the work and highly +appreciated by the workers. We jogged together over many miles of +country, comparing notes, discussing plans and expressing our mutual +surprise at the wonderful and far-reaching work which is being +accomplished, and the prophetic glories of the future. + +An account of the mountain campaign, through which Secretary Beard went +with me, will be the subject of future notes. + + * * * * * + +The following churches have been organized in our Southern field during +the past few weeks: + +Deer Lodge Congregational Church, Deer Lodge, Tenn., organized Nov. 16, +1887, with thirteen members; Calvary Congregational Church, Pine +Mountain, Tenn., organized Nov. 26, 1887, with thirteen members; Second +Congregational Church, Decatur, Ala., organized Nov. 30, 1887, with +fifteen members. + + * * * * * + + + + +THE INDIANS. + + + + +WHAT AN INDIAN THINKS OF IT. + +The writer of this letter is Loafer Redhorse, a son-in-law of the Titon +Chief, Swift Bear, whose band have colonized as homesteaders along the +Niobrara River near the mouth of Keya Paha River. Their colony is one +hundred and thirty miles from Rosebud Agency, to which they belong. +Their settlement we call Burrell Station in honor of Dea. Burrell, of +Oberlin, Ohio, who gave the money to build the school-house and home for +the teacher. Mr. Francis Frazier, son of Pastor Ehnamani of Santee, has +now been their teacher two years. + +Loafer Redhorse is anything but a loafer. He is one of the most +industrious men. He is one who would naturally be first in war, as he +says, and now also is first in following the plow, and learning the ways +of the white man. Among other things it is interesting to know what he +thinks of prohibiting the use of the Dakota language. + +MY FRIENDS: Let me speak now. I am sad because of one thing which I will +now speak of. Since our school-house (the Burrell station school) was +built, I, with my children, have attended with a glad heart just as if +it were my own. And now I hear that it is likely to be closed, and I +will speak about that. And this is why I have something to say. The +scholars who go out from the Brules to go to school, come back without +knowing anything, for the reason that they don't teach them anything +except to work. That is the reason they don't know anything, I think. + +And I will tell how it was with us under Indian customs since the time I +had understanding. Then the Indian tribes were happy. Into whatever +country was good they roamed just as they pleased. At that time, +although there were many Indians on all sides, there was a great country +in between full of buffalo. It seemed to be the buffalo's country. And +the Indian people were made happy because of the buffalo. The people +would move their camps and pitch their tents again and the buffalo would +come right in among their tents with a great noise. Then it was that the +people had great joy. + +And there was another thing that the people rejoiced in greatly. I will +speak of that also. That was in war. When they went to war and came near +the enemies' dwellings and saw the enemy there they would choose out +about ten of the bravest young men and dispatch them to kill some of the +enemy. Then they would draw near to the houses, and soon though there +might be five whose hearts were not able for it, the others would go on +and kill a man at his house. And the great joy that I spoke of was thus: +of the five who had killed an enemy but only four of them could take the +glory, but their names would be praised throughout the whole Indian +nation; they would be glorified and considered as chiefs. But most of +all, he who first killed the enemy he would be the chief. And then when +they had returned home even the women would rejoice greatly. They would +dance night and day, all of them. And as I, myself, was chief, I +considered this the very greatest joy. Such were our customs. + +But now from the place I now occupy, I look back and remember these +things. And though the Indian people had all of these customs, I know +not one of them that made the people prosper or brought life to them. I +have not seen that brought life to the people. And thus from where I am +now, I am always looking to the future. On this account I am looking +forward. The Indians have been told the words of the Grandfather, (the +President). And they tell us that by these words the people will +prosper. + +"Plant; by that you shall live," the Grandfather told them. And now I +know a little that the Grandfather spoke the truth. The Grandfather +gives me food for six days, but even though I eat a very little each +day, in three days I have eaten it all up. But now I have raised corn +and though I abide here eating nothing else, by it I live. And also to +go from my place to where the Grandfather gives me rations takes one +week to go and the same to come back and I stay over a few days to rest +when there, and so it altogether covers over three weeks or more. +Therefore, though I have settled here and desire to busy myself in all +the white man's ways that I am able, I have not yet become independent. +And therefore, I earnestly wish, if it were possible, that the +Grandfather would enable us to receive a year's rations at a time, and +then we would make speedy progress in the white man's way. + +And because of this also, the children do not advance much in their +learning. For when we go after the food they also go along. If they +should stay behind, food is scarce, therefore they go along. + +And now I hear it said that schooling in the Dakota language is to be +altogether stopped, and on this account I am sad. For in the +school-house here they learn well and also they pray. It is because they +do these things in the Dakota language that we have been brought to +understand them and to love them, and gladly live in accordance with +them. Then also if it was all done (the teaching and praying) by a white +man we would understand nothing about it, and so I do not think it would +be well. + +And now this is the last thing I want to say. The Grandfather has for +his own the Indians all over the land, and he always helps them +according to what may be for their welfare. Now he is measuring off the +land for them, but I hear it said that he measures it very, very small, +and I am sad about that. If only he would have mercy and measure it off +for them largely, that is what I think. A good while ago the Grandfather +made a treaty with the Indians and promised to give them three hundred +and twenty acres, and according to that I have chosen my homestead and +that suits me. Therefore I prize the Grandfather's word and measure +myself by it. And thus I possess myself and my children. + +Although we are not many people here, yet I always command them to give +heed to the words of the Grandfather. And I bear witness to their +constant attendance at the house (the school and church) that stands +here. Although I am wholly an Indian, yet these are my judgments and so +I tell them. And I write them in order that some may think about the +Indians. My friends, I wish you to hear these words and so I write them. +I shake hands with a good heart. + +LOAFER REDHORSE. + +Burrell Station, Rosebud Agency, D.T. + + * * * * * + + + + +BUREAU OF WOMAN'S WORK. + +MISS D.E.

Cyrus Richardson, +Nashua, N.H. + +A teacher in the South writes:--"We have had a Merry Christmas trying to +make others happy. The people have never done so much for others before. +We found an old couple in very destitute circumstances, and asked the +school children if they would not like to do something for them. It was +very interesting to see them bring their gifts of a little sugar, meal, +flour, or an armful of wood, a potato, a little salt, whatever they +could get. It did them good. After our Christmas exercises at the +church, we took quite a number of the children around to see the old +people, and they sang their Christmas songs. I don't know which enjoyed +it most, the children or the old people. + +Some young men of the Sunday-school paid a month's rent for a poor +woman. We are doing more than ever this year in getting the young people +to go and hold prayer meetings, or read to those who cannot get out to +church." + + * * * * * + + + + +FOR THE CHILDREN. + +HOW SUSY WENT TO TOUGALOO. + +You never could guess just how she went, if you should try from now +until your next birthday, so I'll tell you first how she came to go to +Tougaloo at all. + +To begin with, Mamma Bradley had been rummaging about in the attic a +long time, when little Fay set out to find her. + +"What are you doing up here, mamma?" said Fay. "I've been hunting for +you ever so long." + +"Oh, I'm looking for some things to put in the barrel that is going to +Tougaloo for the poor people that the missionaries are working for." + +"Clothes?" said Fay. + +"Yes, clothes, and I suppose they would be glad of almost anything that +would help to make their lives more comfortable," said her mother. + +Fay sat down in an old basket and watched her mother fold and unfold the +contents of trunks and boxes so quietly, that Mrs. Bradley finally +looked up and said: + +"Why don't you go to your play, dear? What are you thinking about?" + +"I was thinking," said Fay, "do you s'pose the Tougaloo folks have any +little girls?" + +"Oh, yes, plenty of them." + +"Big's me?" + +"Yes, all sizes, I suppose," said Mrs. Bradley, going on with her work. + +"Well," said Fay, "I was thinking, how d'you s'pose they'd like Susy?" + +"What! the new dolly that Auntie gave you for keeping your elbows off +the table?" + +"Yes'm," said Fay. "Do you s'pose she'd make a little Tougaloo girl's +life any more comfor'ble?" + +"Why, yes, dear, anything that gives you so much pleasure would please +them, of course," said her mother, "but are you quite sure you want to +give Susy away?" + +"Well, when Auntie gave us our missionary boxes in the Sunday-school +class, she told us to be sure and remember what was printed on them, and +she read on one side something about people giving their first fruits, +and she said it meant their best things, and on top it said, 'Inasmuch +as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, ye have done it unto +me.' Now Susy is my best doll--any way I love her best, and there +couldn't be anybody much leaster than a little girl like me way down in +Tougaloo, could there, mamma?" + +"Well, you must think it all over, and if you are quite sure that you +want to do it, we will take Susy down to the church this afternoon with +the other things," said her mother. + +Fay said no more, and in a few minutes she tripped down stairs, and when +her mamma followed soon after, she heard the creak of Fay's little +rocking chair, and the words, "Sleep, baby, sleep," which told her as +she peeped through a crack in the door, that Susy was getting her last +lullaby from the fond little mother, who at the proper time presented +Susy all dressed for her journey to Tougaloo. + +"When Fay and her mother arrived at the church, sure enough right there +in the parlor stood two or three barrels, while dear old Mrs. Rogers and +half a dozen other ladies were filling them with useful articles. + +"Here is a package of clothing," said Mrs. Bradley, " and I have another +bundle, which Dennis will bring from the carriage in a few minutes." + +"And Susy's going to Tougaloo," said Fay, reaching out her treasure to +Grandma Rogers as she spoke. + +"Well now, the dear," said Grandma Rogers, "don't you want her yourself, +blossom?" + +"No'm, not now," said Fay, "if you'll find a little girl who'll take +real good care of her--her name's 'Susy.'" + +"Well, did you ever!" said Grandma Rogers. " Here's jest the place for +Susy, she can set right here in Miss Blout's bunnit as snug as a bug." + +"Wait a minute, Mrs. Rogers," said Miss Bliss, and taking a pencil she +wrote on a little slip of paper, "My name is Susy, and I should like to +go to some little girl who will take good care of me." This she read and +pinned the slip on Susy's pretty dress when she was safely seated in +"Miss Blout's bunnit," in which odd carriage, made of roses and ribbons, +Susy started on her long journey to Tougaloo. Her little mother, Fay, +would like some day to get a letter from Susy's new mother, though she +has not yet heard from her. + +FROM N.Y.

JAMES POWELL, D.D.</h3> + <p>"He whom thou lovest is dead," were the sorrowful words of the stricken sisters + concerning their brother; we repeat them to our many friends who enjoyed the personal + friendship of our beloved brother Powell. These friends cannot restore him to us, as + <i>the</i> Friend restored Lazarus to his family; but they can sympathize with us in + our great bereavement. It is scarcely three months since our honored president, Gov. + Washburn, was suddenly taken away, and we have not yet found his successor; and now, + Dr. Powell has been removed almost as suddenly, and we can scarcely hope to find one + to take his place. Our only consolation is, that God makes no mistakes, and that, + while men die, His work goes on.</p> + <p>The death of Dr. Powell was unexpected, but its cause lay far back. When only + nineteen years of age, he entered the service of the Christian Commission, and in the + malarial regions of the South, the germs of disease were planted in his system. They + were the cause of frequent and distressing turns of illness, while his irrepressible + energy never allowed him to take the rest necessary for recovery. The physicians + pronounced the immediate cause of his death to be apoplexy, but most men carrying his + burden of ill-health would have yielded long before; only his immeasurable + hopefulness and activity sustained him to the end.</p> + <p>Rev. James Powell, D.D., was born in Wales, December 25, 1842. At an early age he + came to this country, and partly by his own exertions and partly by the help of + friends whom he had won to himself by his genial nature and evident indications of + future usefulness, he obtained an education, graduating from Dartmouth College in + 1866, and from Andover Theological Seminary in 1869. He was installed as pastor of + the church at Newburyport in November, 1869, his only pastorate, and remained there + till February, 1873. His health being impaired by his incessant labors as pastor, he + was persuaded by his friend, Rev. Mr. Pike, to aid in introducing the Jubilee Singers + to the English public, with the further purpose of either remaining abroad to manage + the affairs of the Singers in Great Britain, or of returning and temporarily taking + Mr. Pike's place in <span class="pagenum"><a name="page30" + id="page30"></a>{30}</span> Connecticut and New York, as District Secretary of the + Association. The latter alternative was finally decided upon, and Mr. Powell assumed + these duties in the latter part of the year 1873. A year afterwards, on the + resignation of Rev. Dr. Patton from our Chicago office, Mr. Powell, who had shown + remarkable gifts as a speaker, was at once selected as District Secretary of our + Western department. Here he remained for nearly ten years, when some changes were + required in our district offices and he was called to New York as Assistant + Corresponding Secretary, and entrusted with the supervision of the entire collecting + field. The work he had done so acceptably and efficiently at the West was followed by + equally effective services in his wider field at the East. In the three years of the + recent burden of debt upon the Association, the energies of Dr. Powell were called + into full play, and when, at our last Annual Meeting, we rejoiced in deliverance from + debt, it was felt that the gratifying result was due in a large measure to his + eloquence by voice and pen. At that meeting Dr. Powell was elected Corresponding + Secretary of the Association.</p> + <p>Bro. Powell was an orator born, not made. His eloquence was not of the Websterian + sort, massive and logical, but rather of that magnetic kind which wins and sways an + audience at will, sometimes to smiles and then to tears, but always with definite + persuasion. He was a brilliant writer as well as speaker. His pen glowed with a + special inspiration, and was prolific as well. The pages of the AMERICAN MISSIONARY, + the columns of the weekly religious press, the numerous circulars issued from this + office and his abundant correspondence, all bear witness to this. He was a wise man + in counsel. The impassioned and imaginative speaker is not usually characterized by a + cautious judgment or administrative gifts; but we have found in this office that when + grave questions arose for consideration, Dr. Powell was remarkably conservative and + judicious. But the crowning glory of the man was his bright and genial nature, and + his warm and devoted Christian character. It was this that won all hearts, that made + him welcome on every platform and in every pulpit, that bound his friends to him in + warmest attachment, that opened the doors of all homes to him and that leaves the + memory of brightness behind him in the offices where he toiled and in his own dear + home. His life went out not as the lightning's flash, that leaves the deeper darkness + behind, nor as the setting sun, that has the night before and after, but his + departure from life was only the entrance into eternal brightness, and leaves a + radiance behind that will be a perpetual joy and consolation to his friends. He was + born on Christmas day, and the festivities of another Christmas day were not wholly + past when he died. His birth was a Christmas gift to earth, and, be it said with + reverence, his death was a Christmas gift to Heaven, for through the grace of our + Lord Jesus Christ, and the sanctifying influence of the blessed spirit, we believe he + was made meet to be presented to the Father, in whose hands we leave him.</p> + <span class="pagenum"><a name="page31" id="page31"></a>{31}</span> + <a name="editorial2" id="editorial2"></a> + <h3>A WORD TO OUR WORKERS</h3> + <p>To lead a people long crushed by oppression away from the degradations of slavery + into a true and intelligent freedom, to teach those who have no inheritance of steady + purpose to rise into new habits of thought and feeling, and away from the heredity of + superstitions which were unrelated with morality, into a faith which really purifies + the heart and the life, is not the work of a year, nor of fifty years. It means + patient continuance in well doing. It means consecration, responsibility and + self-sacrifice on the part of those who take upon themselves and into themselves, the + sins and the sorrows, and the struggles and failures of those who are to be + saved.</p> + <p>Nothing but a consecration that becomes a passion of the soul in Christ's love and + for Christ's sake, and an abiding faith in the triumph of his kingdom of love and + righteousness, will explain the earnestness and labor of the devoted souls in our + mission work, who are God's kings and priests ministering to the lowly, and crowding + their days with service for those who have been the victims of the strong, and who, + now weak and poor, are despised in their poverty and weakness.</p> + <hr /> + <p>All honor to those who are giving themselves to break down the injustices of a + cruel and unchristian caste, all honor to the noble men and women who are working to + rescue millions from the woeful inheritance of centuries, as well as to save them from + the dominion of the sin which is common to man.</p> + <p>Others may honor Kings and Queens and Princes who have had their greatness thrust + upon them, but we will stand with those who accentuate their reverence for lives + consecrated to the good of humanity, who are afflicted with the sorrows of God's + poor, and oppressed with their burdens, and whose prayers and songs are <i>God save + the people</i>, Their lives may not be chronicled in the pages which tell of those + who lived to make others serve them, but they are shining names upon God's Book of + Life, and in the day of the coronation of the nobility which God sees and records, + their names will stand out like radiant stars in the heavens. One of such was JAMES + POWELL, whose life was a grand sacrifice of undeviating love for those whose + necessities made him feel that he was debtor to them, until he gave them the price of + his life which Christ had redeemed.</p> + <p>Subordinating himself to this consecration with incessant desire, he has left his + example which may well be inspiration and strength to all who are working and praying + for those who have been trodden under the feet of the strong, and he has left his + influence for tens of thousands.</p> + <hr /> + <p>In the prophecy which foretold Christ, centuries before he came it was written, + "<i>He shall not fail, nor be discouraged</i>." Fellow workers, it is <span + class="pagenum"><a name="page32" id="page32"></a>{32}</span> not the consecration of + a year, nor of a generation, that is to restore the millions for whom we work to the + places where God would bring them. The pitiless centuries cannot be redeemed in one + day. Doubtless the work may seem slow and the time may seem long, but every good deed + counts, and no prayer is unheard. The good work is not in vain. The progress already + made is wonderful. The workers who have consecrated themselves may die in their + unfinished work, but God has pledged himself that the work shall go on. His promises + and his providences will work together like cogs in a wheel. We shall not fail, and + we need not be discouraged. Such lives as that of JAMES POWELL are not too common in + human history, but they show us how the divine can endue the human with its own + power, and how God can make souls great witnesses for God. Some tell us that the + heroic ages have passed away, but they have not. No! They will last until the world + shall be saved, for the inspirations which come from the spirit of God and from the + cross of Christ will live in hearts which will burn to save those who need to be + saved.</p> + <hr /> + <p>Since the death of Dr. Powell, we have received numerous letters from all parts of + the country expressing sympathy in our great bereavement, which the writers shared + profoundly with us. The admiration and love entertained by the writers, and uttered + in these letters, toward our beloved brother, is gratifying to us, as it is also to + his family. In the pressure of duties consequent upon his death and burial, we have + not found time to reply to these letters, and take this occasion to acknowledge their + receipt and to express our heartfelt thankfulness to the writers.</p> + <hr /> + <a name="editorial3" id="editorial3"></a> + <p>We shall not be able to make the stirring appeals to provide for the exigent + demands of our great work which our readers have been wont to recognize as coming + from the heart of Dr. Powell, who had the oversight and burden of the collecting + fields.</p> + <p>Never was our work more critical, never more urgent and never more hopeful.</p> + <p>The winter months, on which we must chiefly rely, are here, and are fast moving + into the past. The work has been laid upon us and it would seem faithless to our + sacred trust to sacrifice any part of it. But we must not take on a debt. We can only + be saved from putting the knife to our work or of trying to do what we cannot pay + for, if the faithful pastors of the churches will give their very present help. If + the pastors who believe in the work, which includes the education and salvation of + the needy among four races, will give their churches and Christian stewards a good + chance to know how great the cause is and what its honest appeals are, we are + confident that the Lord will deliver us from impending trouble.</p> + <span class="pagenum"><a name="page33" id="page33"></a>{33}</span> + <p>We will gladly furnish every pastor, and others who will send to us for them, such + facts and figures as may be helpful in representing the work. Surely we can depend + upon those who love God and their country for thoughtful remembrance and ready + response.</p> + <hr /> + <p>The Rev. C.J. Ryder who has been assigned to the District Secretaryship of the + Eastern district for the collecting field in New England, will, upon his return from + a supervisory tour in the extreme South, succeed our friend, Dr. Woodworth, in the + Boston office.</p> + <p>It is well known to our readers that Superintendent Ryder, two and a half years + ago, was induced to assume the laborious work then demitted by Rev. Dr. Roy upon a + similar transfer of Dr. Roy from the Field Superintendency to the District + Secretaryship of the West, with his office in Chicago. To those who have read the + "Notes in the Saddle" from the South, in our magazine, written by Supt. Ryder, we + need add no word of introduction. Nor need we say that he will carry into his new + department of our common work the same energy, zeal and interest which has + characterized the past. With his presentations of the work, and with his personal + knowledge and experience of the field, and of every part of it, we anticipate for the + new District Secretary a hearty welcome and co-operation on the part of our pastors + and churches. The work in the South will be temporarily supervised, and arrangements + have been made for this by the New York office.</p> + <hr /> + <p>In retiring from his long-time trust, the Rev. Dr. Woodworth bears with him the + thanks of multitudes of God's poor in the South, and the high regard of all who have + been associated in co-operative work with him. It is not impossible that he may yet + see his way to add to his record of many years, still further service in another + department of this varied work.</p> + <hr /> + <a name="editorial4" id="editorial4"></a> + <h3>DEATH OF REV. WM. H. ELLIS.</h3> + <p>Rev. William H. Ellis died Nov. 28th, at Troy, N.C., aged thirty-five years and + six months. He entered the work of the A.M.A. in North Carolina in 1878 and continued + in that field. At the time of his death he was pastor of the Congregational Church + and teacher of the Association's school, at Troy, N.C. He was a graduate of Williams + College and continued his habits of study during the years of his arduous labor as a + missionary.</p> + <p>He had been for a long time in feeble health, but was unwilling to leave his post + of duty even temporarily to secure his recovery. His services in this field of the + A.M.A. have been characterized by self-denial, patience and faithfulness. He was + intensely loyal to his convictions and died having fought the good fight, a Christian + hero.</p> + <span class="pagenum"><a name="page34" id="page34"></a>{34}</span> + <hr class="full" /> + <a name="field" id="field"></a> + <h2>THE FIELD.</h2> + <p style="text-align: center;">1887-1888.</p> + <p>The following list presents the names and post-office addresses of those who are + employed in the Churches, Institutions and Schools aided by the American Missionary + Association.</p> + <div class="field"> + <h4>THE SOUTH.</h4> + <h5>WASHINGTON, D.C.</h5> + <p class="location">THEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT, HOWARD UNIVERSITY.</p> +<pre> +Rev.

RYDER.</p> + <p>I write these notes under the shadow of the great affliction that has fallen upon + the A.M.A. in the death of Dr. Powell. Although he was at the head of another + department of A.M.A. work, we always knew that we had in him a kind and thoughtful + friend, and one who would cordially co-operate with the other officers in their + far-reaching plans for the development of the work, even though it added to his cares + and burdens in gathering the funds necessary to carry out these plans. We who have + our work and responsibilities in the field, no less than those who were in <span + class="pagenum"><a name="page44" id="page44"></a>{44}</span> the office with Dr. + Powell, would bear our tribute of love, and scatter the blossoms of holy memories + upon this new-made grave.</p> + <hr /> + <p>Two State Associations of unusual interest were held during the month of November. + The Central South Association met with the Trinity Church, in Athens, Ala., Nov. 3d. + This Association includes the churches of Tennessee and two or three of those in + Alabama. The reports from the churches were very complete. Only one church in the + Association was without regular ministerial services, and that church had recently + lost its pastor by death. They are now supplied by a competent and faithful minister. + The temperance question was discussed with great enthusiasm. The influence of Fisk + University on the right side, during the recent prohibition battle in Tennessee, can + scarcely be over-estimated. Many expressed the judgment that the argument of the + Southern whites, that the colored people defeated prohibition, was not true. One + pastor reported that his county went almost solidly against prohibition, and there + was only one colored man in the county, so far as he knew, and he was a staunch + prohibitionist. Some argued that while so many churches and Women's Christian + Temperance Unions and Young Men's Christian Associations shut out respectable colored + people, and saloons welcomed those who were not respectable, it would be a difficult + task for the better class to induce the more ignorant to vote against those who + welcomed them and in favor of those who shut them out. Is there not considerable + force in their arguments?</p> + <p>A young colored man, who had been a preacher in one of the old churches of the + South and had become disgusted with its ignorance, superstition and immorality, + presented his credentials and applied for admission into the Congregational + Association of the State. This action of his is a straw which shows which way the + wind of religious thought blows among the intelligent colored people of the South. + The weather-vane points toward Congregationalism. An aged pastor, who had endured + ostracism and violence in New York State in the early times, on account of his + anti-slavery opinions, was present during the meetings of the Association, and added + greatly to their interest. It was a thrilling sight to him to look upon these colored + brethren during their earnest and often eloquent discussions, and to remember how + much he had suffered in their behalf in other days. Trinity School opened its doors + wide and offered generous hospitality to the pastors and delegates. On the whole, it + was one of the best meetings the Association has ever enjoyed.</p> + <hr /> + <p>The Congregational Association of the State of Georgia met with the church at + Macon, November 9th-14th. The church and its new pastor, a son of Connecticut, did + their utmost to make the meetings pleasant and helpful. The band of earnest Christian + teachers of Lewis Normal Institute, <span class="pagenum"><a name="page45" + id="page45"></a>{45}</span> the A.M.A. school at Macon, joined hands with the church + and pastor in helping to make the sessions of the Association profitable. Here, too, + as in the Central South Association, the temperance question held a prominent place + in the discussions. There was not a member of the Association but was heartily in + favor of prohibition. The Atlanta campaign was on in all its heat and passion, and + beseeching requests were made by the delegates from that city that prayer might be + offered for them as they passed through the heat of this battle against legalizing + crime. Almost every church in the Association was represented in this meeting and one + new church applied for admission. This church stands near the old prison pen of + Andersonville and so the blood of the martyrs proves the seed of the church, whether + they wear the monk's cowl of a Huss or the ragged blue of our country. The church at + Charleston, S.C., reported two missions just established in the destitute parts of + that city. All the churches in this Association assisted by the A.M.A. are struggling + towards self-support under helpful pressure from that Society. I am glad to report + that the church at Savannah has taken upon itself the support of its pastor and local + expenses for the next year. The churches in this Association, although poor and often + in serious financial straits themselves, showed their appreciation of other lines of + Christian work by passing the following resolution:</p> + <blockquote> + <p><i>Resolved,</i> That in view of the financial embarrassments of the Home + Missionary Society, the pastors of the churches urge upon their people the duty of + taking up a collection for the benefit of that Society.</p> + </blockquote> + <hr /> + <p>As illustrating the need of intelligent and decent church services in the South, I + record the following facts, which were related to me by those who knew of them + personally. A colored preacher of the "old-time" sort preached on the Judgment Day. + He held the meeting from evening till well into the night. He arranged with a + worthless fellow to hide himself in the woods just outside the church, with a + tremendously big dinner-horn, with instructions to blow upon it at a certain signal. + At the awful hour of midnight, when, by entreaty and appeal and frightful figures of + speech, the preacher had worked the people up into a frenzy of excitement and terror, + he exclaimed, "Listen, I reckon I hear Gabriel getting ready to blow now. De last day + am on us, de judgment am right here, whar you sinners now? Listen." And with bated + breath they listened. Just then there came a fearful blast on the stillness of the + midnight air, and the scene that followed can better be imagined than described. + Helter-skelter over the benches and over each other, the terrified people scrambled + for the mourners' bench. The preacher boastfully told afterward, that "dar want + scarsely one sinner but what wah effected."</p> + <p>The quiet forms of worship in our Congregational churches, and the intelligent + preaching of the A.M.A. ministers, are fast bringing about a <span class="pagenum"><a + name="page46" id="page46"></a>{46}</span> state of things which will drive out such + church circuses, with their ministerial clowns. God speed the day!</p> + <hr /> + <p>During a considerable portion of the last month I have been "riding double," as + our honored Secretary, Dr. Beard, has been in the saddle with me. His knowledge of + the field, gained through these frequent personal visits, is of great advantage to + the work and highly appreciated by the workers. We jogged together over many miles of + country, comparing notes, discussing plans and expressing our mutual surprise at the + wonderful and far-reaching work which is being accomplished, and the prophetic + glories of the future.</p> + <p>An account of the mountain campaign, through which Secretary Beard went with me, + will be the subject of future notes.</p> + <hr /> + <p>The following churches have been organized in our Southern field during the past + few weeks:</p> + <p>Deer Lodge Congregational Church, Deer Lodge, Tenn., organized Nov. 16, 1887, with + thirteen members; Calvary Congregational Church, Pine Mountain, Tenn., organized Nov. + 26, 1887, with thirteen members; Second Congregational Church, Decatur, Ala., + organized Nov. 30, 1887, with fifteen members.</p> + <hr class="full" /> + <a name="indians" id="indians"></a> + <h3>THE INDIANS.</h3> + <h4>WHAT AN INDIAN THINKS OF IT.</h4> + <p>The writer of this letter is Loafer Redhorse, a son-in-law of the Titon Chief, + Swift Bear, whose band have colonized as homesteaders along the Niobrara River near + the mouth of Keya Paha River. Their colony is one hundred and thirty miles from + Rosebud Agency, to which they belong. Their settlement we call Burrell Station in + honor of Dea. Burrell, of Oberlin, Ohio, who gave the money to build the school-house + and home for the teacher. Mr. Francis Frazier, son of Pastor Ehnamani of Santee, has + now been their teacher two years.</p> + <p>Loafer Redhorse is anything but a loafer. He is one of the most industrious men. + He is one who would naturally be first in war, as he says, and now also is first in + following the plow, and learning the ways of the white man. Among other things it is + interesting to know what he thinks of prohibiting the use of the Dakota language.</p> + <p>MY FRIENDS: Let me speak now. I am sad because of one thing which I will now speak + of. Since our school-house (the Burrell station school) was built, I, with my + children, have attended with a glad heart just as if it were my own. And now I hear + that it is likely to be closed, and I will speak about that. And this is why I have + something to say. The scholars <span class="pagenum"><a name="page47" + id="page47"></a>{47}</span> who go out from the Brules to go to school, come back + without knowing anything, for the reason that they don't teach them anything except + to work. That is the reason they don't know anything, I think.</p> + <p>And I will tell how it was with us under Indian customs since the time I had + understanding. Then the Indian tribes were happy. Into whatever country was good they + roamed just as they pleased. At that time, although there were many Indians on all + sides, there was a great country in between full of buffalo. It seemed to be the + buffalo's country. And the Indian people were made happy because of the buffalo. The + people would move their camps and pitch their tents again and the buffalo would come + right in among their tents with a great noise. Then it was that the people had great + joy.</p> + <p>And there was another thing that the people rejoiced in greatly. I will speak of + that also. That was in war. When they went to war and came near the enemies' + dwellings and saw the enemy there they would choose out about ten of the bravest + young men and dispatch them to kill some of the enemy. Then they would draw near to + the houses, and soon though there might be five whose hearts were not able for it, + the others would go on and kill a man at his house. And the great joy that I spoke of + was thus: of the five who had killed an enemy but only four of them could take the + glory, but their names would be praised throughout the whole Indian nation; they + would be glorified and considered as chiefs. But most of all, he who first killed the + enemy he would be the chief. And then when they had returned home even the women + would rejoice greatly. They would dance night and day, all of them. And as I, myself, + was chief, I considered this the very greatest joy. Such were our customs.</p> + <p>But now from the place I now occupy, I look back and remember these things. And + though the Indian people had all of these customs, I know not one of them that made + the people prosper or brought life to them. I have not seen that brought life to the + people. And thus from where I am now, I am always looking to the future. On this + account I am looking forward. The Indians have been told the words of the + Grandfather, (the President). And they tell us that by these words the people will + prosper.</p> + <p>"Plant; by that you shall live," the Grandfather told them. And now I know a + little that the Grandfather spoke the truth. The Grandfather gives me food for six + days, but even though I eat a very little each day, in three days I have eaten it all + up. But now I have raised corn and though I abide here eating nothing else, by it I + live. And also to go from my place to where the Grandfather gives me rations takes + one week to go and the same to come back and I stay over a few days to rest when + there, and so it altogether covers over three weeks or more. Therefore, though I have + settled here and desire to busy myself in all the white man's ways that I am able, I + have not yet become independent. And therefore, I earnestly wish, if it were + possible, that the Grandfather would enable us to receive <span class="pagenum"><a + name="page48" id="page48"></a>{48}</span> a year's rations at a time, and then we + would make speedy progress in the white man's way.</p> + <p>And because of this also, the children do not advance much in their learning. For + when we go after the food they also go along. If they should stay behind, food is + scarce, therefore they go along.</p> + <p>And now I hear it said that schooling in the Dakota language is to be altogether + stopped, and on this account I am sad. For in the school-house here they learn well + and also they pray. It is because they do these things in the Dakota language that we + have been brought to understand them and to love them, and gladly live in accordance + with them. Then also if it was all done (the teaching and praying) by a white man we + would understand nothing about it, and so I do not think it would be well.</p> + <p>And now this is the last thing I want to say. The Grandfather has for his own the + Indians all over the land, and he always helps them according to what may be for + their welfare. Now he is measuring off the land for them, but I hear it said that he + measures it very, very small, and I am sad about that. If only he would have mercy + and measure it off for them largely, that is what I think. A good while ago the + Grandfather made a treaty with the Indians and promised to give them three hundred + and twenty acres, and according to that I have chosen my homestead and that suits me. + Therefore I prize the Grandfather's word and measure myself by it. And thus I possess + myself and my children.</p> + <p>Although we are not many people here, yet I always command them to give heed to + the words of the Grandfather. And I bear witness to their constant attendance at the + house (the school and church) that stands here. Although I am wholly an Indian, yet + these are my judgments and so I tell them. And I write them in order that some may + think about the Indians. My friends, I wish you to hear these words and so I write + them. I shake hands with a good heart.</p> + <p class="author">LOAFER REDHORSE.</p> + <p>Burrell Station, Rosebud Agency, D.T.</p> + <hr class="full" /> + <a name="bureau" id="bureau"></a> + <h3>BUREAU OF WOMAN'S WORK.</h3> + <h5>MISS D.E.

We are + doing more than ever this year in getting the young people to go and hold prayer + meetings, or read to those who cannot get out to church."</p> + <hr class="full" /> + <a name="children" id="children"></a> + <h3>FOR THE CHILDREN.</h3> + <h4>HOW SUSY WENT TO TOUGALOO.</h4> + <p>You never could guess just how she went, if you should try from now until your + next birthday, so I'll tell you first how she came to go to Tougaloo at all.</p> + <p>To begin with, Mamma Bradley had been rummaging about in the attic a long time, + when little Fay set out to find her.</p> + <p>"What are you doing up here, mamma?" said Fay. "I've been hunting for you ever so + long."</p> + <p>"Oh, I'm looking for some things to put in the barrel that is going to Tougaloo + for the poor people that the missionaries are working for."</p> + <p>"Clothes?" said Fay.</p> + <p>"Yes, clothes, and I suppose they would be glad of almost anything that would help + to make their lives more comfortable," said her mother.</p> + <p>Fay sat down in an old basket and watched her mother fold and unfold the contents + of trunks and boxes so quietly, that Mrs. Bradley finally looked up and said:</p> + <p>"Why don't you go to your play, dear? What are you thinking about?"</p> + <p>"I was thinking," said Fay, "do you s'pose the Tougaloo folks have any little + girls?"</p> + <span class="pagenum"><a name="page50" id="page50"></a>{50}</span> + <p>"Oh, yes, plenty of them."</p> + <p>"Big's me?"</p> + <p>"Yes, all sizes, I suppose," said Mrs. Bradley, going on with her work.</p> + <p>"Well," said Fay, "I was thinking, how d'you s'pose they'd like Susy?"</p> + <p>"What! the new dolly that Auntie gave you for keeping your elbows off the + table?"</p> + <p>"Yes'm," said Fay. "Do you s'pose she'd make a little Tougaloo girl's life any + more comfor'ble?"</p> + <p>"Why, yes, dear, anything that gives you so much pleasure would please them, of + course," said her mother, "but are you quite sure you want to give Susy away?"</p> + <p>"Well, when Auntie gave us our missionary boxes in the Sunday-school class, she + told us to be sure and remember what was printed on them, and she read on one side + something about people giving their first fruits, and she said it meant their best + things, and on top it said, 'Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of + these, ye have done it unto me.' Now Susy is my best doll—any way I love her + best, and there couldn't be anybody much leaster than a little girl like me way down + in Tougaloo, could there, mamma?"</p> + <p>"Well, you must think it all over, and if you are quite sure that you want to do + it, we will take Susy down to the church this afternoon with the other things," said + her mother.</p> + <p>Fay said no more, and in a few minutes she tripped down stairs, and when her mamma + followed soon after, she heard the creak of Fay's little rocking chair, and the + words, "Sleep, baby, sleep," which told her as she peeped through a crack in the + door, that Susy was getting her last lullaby from the fond little mother, who at the + proper time presented Susy all dressed for her journey to Tougaloo.</p> + <p>"When Fay and her mother arrived at the church, sure enough right there in the + parlor stood two or three barrels, while dear old Mrs. Rogers and half a dozen other + ladies were filling them with useful articles.</p> + <p>"Here is a package of clothing," said Mrs. Bradley, " and I have another bundle, + which Dennis will bring from the carriage in a few minutes."</p> + <p>"And Susy's going to Tougaloo," said Fay, reaching out her treasure to Grandma + Rogers as she spoke.</p> + <p>"Well now, the dear," said Grandma Rogers, "don't you want her yourself, + blossom?"</p> + <p>"No'm, not now," said Fay, "if you'll find a little girl who'll take real good + care of her—her name's ' Susy.'"</p> + <p>"Well, did you ever!" said Grandma Rogers. " Here's jest the place for Susy, she + can set right here in Miss Blout's bunnit as snug as a bug."</p> + <p>"Wait a minute, Mrs. Rogers," said Miss Bliss, and taking a pencil she wrote on a + little slip of paper, "My name is Susy, and I should like to go to some little girl + who will take good care of me." This she read and pinned the slip on Susy's pretty + dress when she was safely seated in "Miss Blout's bunnit," in which odd carriage, + made of roses and ribbons, Susy started on her long journey to Tougaloo. Her little + mother, Fay, would like some day to get a letter from Susy's new mother, though she + has not yet heard from her.</p> + <p class="author">FROM N.Y.

XLII. +FEBRUARY, 1888. +No. 2. + + * * * * * + + + + +American Missionary Association. + + * * * * * + + + + +DEATH OF REV. JAMES POWELL, D.D. + +"He whom thou lovest is dead," were the sorrowful words of the stricken +sisters concerning their brother; we repeat them to our many friends who +enjoyed the personal friendship of our beloved brother Powell. These +friends cannot restore him to us, as _the_ Friend restored Lazarus to +his family; but they can sympathize with us in our great bereavement. It +is scarcely three months since our honored president, Gov. Washburn, was +suddenly taken away, and we have not yet found his successor; and now, +Dr. Powell has been removed almost as suddenly, and we can scarcely hope +to find one to take his place. Our only consolation is, that God makes +no mistakes, and that, while men die, His work goes on. + +The death of Dr. Powell was unexpected, but its cause lay far back. When +only nineteen years of age, he entered the service of the Christian +Commission, and in the malarial regions of the South, the germs of +disease were planted in his system. They were the cause of frequent and +distressing turns of illness, while his irrepressible energy never +allowed him to take the rest necessary for recovery. The physicians +pronounced the immediate cause of his death to be apoplexy, but most men +carrying his burden of ill-health would have yielded long before; only +his immeasurable hopefulness and activity sustained him to the end. + +Rev. James Powell, D.D., was born in Wales, December 25, 1842. At an +early age he came to this country, and partly by his own exertions and +partly by the help of friends whom he had won to himself by his genial +nature and evident indications of future usefulness, he obtained an +education, graduating from Dartmouth College in 1866, and from Andover +Theological Seminary in 1869. He was installed as pastor of the church +at Newburyport in November, 1869, his only pastorate, and remained there +till February, 1873. His health being impaired by his incessant labors +as pastor, he was persuaded by his friend, Rev. Mr. Pike, to aid in +introducing the Jubilee Singers to the English public, with the further +purpose of either remaining abroad to manage the affairs of the Singers +in Great Britain, or of returning and temporarily taking Mr. Pike's +place in Connecticut and New York, as District Secretary of the +Association. The latter alternative was finally decided upon, and Mr. +Powell assumed these duties in the latter part of the year 1873. A year +afterwards, on the resignation of Rev. Dr. Patton from our Chicago +office, Mr. Powell, who had shown remarkable gifts as a speaker, was at +once selected as District Secretary of our Western department. Here he +remained for nearly ten years, when some changes were required in our +district offices and he was called to New York as Assistant +Corresponding Secretary, and entrusted with the supervision of the +entire collecting field. The work he had done so acceptably and +efficiently at the West was followed by equally effective services in +his wider field at the East. In the three years of the recent burden of +debt upon the Association, the energies of Dr. Powell were called into +full play, and when, at our last Annual Meeting, we rejoiced in +deliverance from debt, it was felt that the gratifying result was due in +a large measure to his eloquence by voice and pen. At that meeting Dr. +Powell was elected Corresponding Secretary of the Association. + +Bro. Powell was an orator born, not made. His eloquence was not of the +Websterian sort, massive and logical, but rather of that magnetic kind +which wins and sways an audience at will, sometimes to smiles and then +to tears, but always with definite persuasion. He was a brilliant writer +as well as speaker. His pen glowed with a special inspiration, and was +prolific as well. The pages of the AMERICAN MISSIONARY, the columns of +the weekly religious press, the numerous circulars issued from this +office and his abundant correspondence, all bear witness to this. He was +a wise man in counsel. The impassioned and imaginative speaker is not +usually characterized by a cautious judgment or administrative gifts; +but we have found in this office that when grave questions arose for +consideration, Dr. Powell was remarkably conservative and judicious. But +the crowning glory of the man was his bright and genial nature, and his +warm and devoted Christian character. It was this that won all hearts, +that made him welcome on every platform and in every pulpit, that bound +his friends to him in warmest attachment, that opened the doors of all +homes to him and that leaves the memory of brightness behind him in the +offices where he toiled and in his own dear home. His life went out not +as the lightning's flash, that leaves the deeper darkness behind, nor as +the setting sun, that has the night before and after, but his departure +from life was only the entrance into eternal brightness, and leaves a +radiance behind that will be a perpetual joy and consolation to his +friends. He was born on Christmas day, and the festivities of another +Christmas day were not wholly past when he died. His birth was a +Christmas gift to earth, and, be it said with reverence, his death was a +Christmas gift to Heaven, for through the grace of our Lord Jesus +Christ, and the sanctifying influence of the blessed spirit, we believe +he was made meet to be presented to the Father, in whose hands we leave +him. + + + + + +A WORD TO OUR WORKERS + +To lead a people long crushed by oppression away from the degradations +of slavery into a true and intelligent freedom, to teach those who have +no inheritance of steady purpose to rise into new habits of thought and +feeling, and away from the heredity of superstitions which were +unrelated with morality, into a faith which really purifies the heart +and the life, is not the work of a year, nor of fifty years. It means +patient continuance in well doing. It means consecration, responsibility +and self-sacrifice on the part of those who take upon themselves and +into themselves, the sins and the sorrows, and the struggles and +failures of those who are to be saved. + +Nothing but a consecration that becomes a passion of the soul in +Christ's love and for Christ's sake, and an abiding faith in the triumph +of his kingdom of love and righteousness, will explain the earnestness +and labor of the devoted souls in our mission work, who are God's kings +and priests ministering to the lowly, and crowding their days with +service for those who have been the victims of the strong, and who, now +weak and poor, are despised in their poverty and weakness. + + * * * * * + +All honor to those who are giving themselves to break down the +injustices of a cruel and unchristian caste, all honor to the noble men +and women who are working to rescue millions from the woeful inheritance +of centuries, as well as to save them from the dominion of the sin which +is common to man. + +Others may honor Kings and Queens and Princes who have had their +greatness thrust upon them, but we will stand with those who accentuate +their reverence for lives consecrated to the good of humanity, who are +afflicted with the sorrows of God's poor, and oppressed with their +burdens, and whose prayers and songs are _God save the people_, Their +lives may not be chronicled in the pages which tell of those who lived +to make others serve them, but they are shining names upon God's Book of +Life, and in the day of the coronation of the nobility which God sees +and records, their names will stand out like radiant stars in the +heavens. One of such was JAMES POWELL, whose life was a grand sacrifice +of undeviating love for those whose necessities made him feel that he +was debtor to them, until he gave them the price of his life which +Christ had redeemed. + +Subordinating himself to this consecration with incessant desire, he has +left his example which may well be inspiration and strength to all who +are working and praying for those who have been trodden under the feet +of the strong, and he has left his influence for tens of thousands. + + * * * * * + +In the prophecy which foretold Christ, centuries before he came it was +written, "_He shall not fail, nor be discouraged_." Fellow workers, it +is not the consecration of a year, nor of a generation, that is to +restore the millions for whom we work to the places where God would +bring them. The pitiless centuries cannot be redeemed in one day. +Doubtless the work may seem slow and the time may seem long, but every +good deed counts, and no prayer is unheard. The good work is not in +vain. The progress already made is wonderful. The workers who have +consecrated themselves may die in their unfinished work, but God has +pledged himself that the work shall go on. His promises and his +providences will work together like cogs in a wheel. We shall not fail, +and we need not be discouraged. Such lives as that of JAMES POWELL are +not too common in human history, but they show us how the divine can +endue the human with its own power, and how God can make souls great +witnesses for God. Some tell us that the heroic ages have passed away, +but they have not. No! They will last until the world shall be saved, +for the inspirations which come from the spirit of God and from the +cross of Christ will live in hearts which will burn to save those who +need to be saved. + + * * * * * + +Since the death of Dr. Powell, we have received numerous letters from +all parts of the country expressing sympathy in our great bereavement, +which the writers shared profoundly with us. The admiration and love +entertained by the writers, and uttered in these letters, toward our +beloved brother, is gratifying to us, as it is also to his family. In +the pressure of duties consequent upon his death and burial, we have not +found time to reply to these letters, and take this occasion to +acknowledge their receipt and to express our heartfelt thankfulness to +the writers. + + * * * * * + +We shall not be able to make the stirring appeals to provide for the +exigent demands of our great work which our readers have been wont to +recognize as coming from the heart of Dr. Powell, who had the oversight +and burden of the collecting fields. + +Never was our work more critical, never more urgent and never more +hopeful. + +The winter months, on which we must chiefly rely, are here, and are fast +moving into the past. The work has been laid upon us and it would seem +faithless to our sacred trust to sacrifice any part of it. But we must +not take on a debt. We can only be saved from putting the knife to our +work or of trying to do what we cannot pay for, if the faithful pastors +of the churches will give their very present help. If the pastors who +believe in the work, which includes the education and salvation of the +needy among four races, will give their churches and Christian stewards +a good chance to know how great the cause is and what its honest appeals +are, we are confident that the Lord will deliver us from impending +trouble. + + +We will gladly furnish every pastor, and others who will send to us for +them, such facts and figures as may be helpful in representing the work. +Surely we can depend upon those who love God and their country for +thoughtful remembrance and ready response. + + * * * * * + +The Rev. C.J. Ryder who has been assigned to the District Secretaryship +of the Eastern district for the collecting field in New England, will, +upon his return from a supervisory tour in the extreme South, succeed +our friend, Dr. Woodworth, in the Boston office. + +It is well known to our readers that Superintendent Ryder, two and a +half years ago, was induced to assume the laborious work then demitted +by Rev. Dr. Roy upon a similar transfer of Dr. Roy from the Field +Superintendency to the District Secretaryship of the West, with his +office in Chicago. To those who have read the "Notes in the Saddle" from +the South, in our magazine, written by Supt. Ryder, we need add no word +of introduction. Nor need we say that he will carry into his new +department of our common work the same energy, zeal and interest which +has characterized the past. With his presentations of the work, and with +his personal knowledge and experience of the field, and of every part of +it, we anticipate for the new District Secretary a hearty welcome and +co-operation on the part of our pastors and churches. The work in the +South will be temporarily supervised, and arrangements have been made +for this by the New York office. + + * * * * * + +In retiring from his long-time trust, the Rev. Dr. Woodworth bears with +him the thanks of multitudes of God's poor in the South, and the high +regard of all who have been associated in co-operative work with him. It +is not impossible that he may yet see his way to add to his record of +many years, still further service in another department of this varied +work. + + * * * * * + +DEATH OF REV. WM. H. ELLIS. + +Rev. William H. Ellis died Nov. 28th, at Troy, N.C., aged thirty-five +years and six months. He entered the work of the A.M.A. in North +Carolina in 1878 and continued in that field. At the time of his death +he was pastor of the Congregational Church and teacher of the +Association's school, at Troy, N.C. He was a graduate of Williams +College and continued his habits of study during the years of his +arduous labor as a missionary. + +He had been for a long time in feeble health, but was unwilling to leave +his post of duty even temporarily to secure his recovery. His services +in this field of the A.M.A. have been characterized by self-denial, +patience and faithfulness. He was intensely loyal to his convictions and +died having fought the good fight, a Christian hero. + + + + + + +THE FIELD. + +1887-1888. + +The following list presents the names and post-office addresses of those +who are employed in the Churches, Institutions and Schools aided by the +American Missionary Association. + + + + +THE SOUTH. + + + + +WASHINGTON, D.C. + +THEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT, HOWARD UNIVERSITY. + +Rev.

RYDER. + +I write these notes under the shadow of the great affliction that has +fallen upon the A.M.A. in the death of Dr. Powell. Although he was at the +head of another department of A.M.A. work, we always knew that we had in +him a kind and thoughtful friend, and one who would cordially co-operate +with the other officers in their far-reaching plans for the development +of the work, even though it added to his cares and burdens in gathering +the funds necessary to carry out these plans. We who have our work and +responsibilities in the field, no less than those who were in the office +with Dr. Powell, would bear our tribute of love, and scatter the +blossoms of holy memories upon this new-made grave. + + * * * * * + +Two State Associations of unusual interest were held during the month of +November. The Central South Association met with the Trinity Church, in +Athens, Ala., Nov. 3d. This Association includes the churches of +Tennessee and two or three of those in Alabama. The reports from the +churches were very complete. Only one church in the Association was +without regular ministerial services, and that church had recently lost +its pastor by death. They are now supplied by a competent and faithful +minister. The temperance question was discussed with great enthusiasm. +The influence of Fisk University on the right side, during the recent +prohibition battle in Tennessee, can scarcely be over-estimated. Many +expressed the judgment that the argument of the Southern whites, that +the colored people defeated prohibition, was not true. One pastor +reported that his county went almost solidly against prohibition, and +there was only one colored man in the county, so far as he knew, and he +was a staunch prohibitionist. Some argued that while so many churches +and Women's Christian Temperance Unions and Young Men's Christian +Associations shut out respectable colored people, and saloons welcomed +those who were not respectable, it would be a difficult task for the +better class to induce the more ignorant to vote against those who +welcomed them and in favor of those who shut them out. Is there not +considerable force in their arguments? + +A young colored man, who had been a preacher in one of the old churches +of the South and had become disgusted with its ignorance, superstition +and immorality, presented his credentials and applied for admission into +the Congregational Association of the State. This action of his is a +straw which shows which way the wind of religious thought blows among +the intelligent colored people of the South. The weather-vane points +toward Congregationalism. An aged pastor, who had endured ostracism and +violence in New York State in the early times, on account of his +anti-slavery opinions, was present during the meetings of the +Association, and added greatly to their interest. It was a thrilling +sight to him to look upon these colored brethren during their earnest +and often eloquent discussions, and to remember how much he had suffered +in their behalf in other days. Trinity School opened its doors wide and +offered generous hospitality to the pastors and delegates. On the whole, +it was one of the best meetings the Association has ever enjoyed. + + * * * * * + +The Congregational Association of the State of Georgia met with the +church at Macon, November 9th-14th. The church and its new pastor, a son +of Connecticut, did their utmost to make the meetings pleasant and +helpful. The band of earnest Christian teachers of Lewis Normal +Institute, the A.M.A. school at Macon, joined hands with the church and +pastor in helping to make the sessions of the Association profitable. +Here, too, as in the Central South Association, the temperance question +held a prominent place in the discussions. There was not a member of the +Association but was heartily in favor of prohibition. The Atlanta +campaign was on in all its heat and passion, and beseeching requests +were made by the delegates from that city that prayer might be offered +for them as they passed through the heat of this battle against +legalizing crime. Almost every church in the Association was represented +in this meeting and one new church applied for admission. This church +stands near the old prison pen of Andersonville and so the blood of the +martyrs proves the seed of the church, whether they wear the monk's cowl +of a Huss or the ragged blue of our country. The church at Charleston, +S.C., reported two missions just established in the destitute parts of +that city. All the churches in this Association assisted by the A.M.A. +are struggling towards self-support under helpful pressure from that +Society. I am glad to report that the church at Savannah has taken upon +itself the support of its pastor and local expenses for the next year. +The churches in this Association, although poor and often in serious +financial straits themselves, showed their appreciation of other lines +of Christian work by passing the following resolution: + + _Resolved,_ That in view of the financial embarrassments of the + Home Missionary Society, the pastors of the churches urge upon + their people the duty of taking up a collection for the benefit of + that Society. + + * * * * * + +As illustrating the need of intelligent and decent church services in +the South, I record the following facts, which were related to me by +those who knew of them personally. A colored preacher of the "old-time" +sort preached on the Judgment Day. He held the meeting from evening till +well into the night. He arranged with a worthless fellow to hide himself +in the woods just outside the church, with a tremendously big +dinner-horn, with instructions to blow upon it at a certain signal. At +the awful hour of midnight, when, by entreaty and appeal and frightful +figures of speech, the preacher had worked the people up into a frenzy +of excitement and terror, he exclaimed, "Listen, I reckon I hear Gabriel +getting ready to blow now. De last day am on us, de judgment am right +here, whar you sinners now? Listen." And with bated breath they +listened. Just then there came a fearful blast on the stillness of the +midnight air, and the scene that followed can better be imagined than +described. Helter-skelter over the benches and over each other, the +terrified people scrambled for the mourners' bench. The preacher +boastfully told afterward, that "dar want scarsely one sinner but what +wah effected." + +The quiet forms of worship in our Congregational churches, and the +intelligent preaching of the A.M.A. ministers, are fast bringing about a +state of things which will drive out such church circuses, with their +ministerial clowns. God speed the day! + + * * * * * + +During a considerable portion of the last month I have been "riding +double," as our honored Secretary, Dr. Beard, has been in the saddle +with me. His knowledge of the field, gained through these frequent +personal visits, is of great advantage to the work and highly +appreciated by the workers. We jogged together over many miles of +country, comparing notes, discussing plans and expressing our mutual +surprise at the wonderful and far-reaching work which is being +accomplished, and the prophetic glories of the future. + +An account of the mountain campaign, through which Secretary Beard went +with me, will be the subject of future notes. + + * * * * * + +The following churches have been organized in our Southern field during +the past few weeks: + +Deer Lodge Congregational Church, Deer Lodge, Tenn., organized Nov. 16, +1887, with thirteen members; Calvary Congregational Church, Pine +Mountain, Tenn., organized Nov. 26, 1887, with thirteen members; Second +Congregational Church, Decatur, Ala., organized Nov. 30, 1887, with +fifteen members. + + * * * * * + + + + +THE INDIANS. + + + + +WHAT AN INDIAN THINKS OF IT. + +The writer of this letter is Loafer Redhorse, a son-in-law of the Titon +Chief, Swift Bear, whose band have colonized as homesteaders along the +Niobrara River near the mouth of Keya Paha River. Their colony is one +hundred and thirty miles from Rosebud Agency, to which they belong. +Their settlement we call Burrell Station in honor of Dea. Burrell, of +Oberlin, Ohio, who gave the money to build the school-house and home for +the teacher. Mr. Francis Frazier, son of Pastor Ehnamani of Santee, has +now been their teacher two years. + +Loafer Redhorse is anything but a loafer. He is one of the most +industrious men. He is one who would naturally be first in war, as he +says, and now also is first in following the plow, and learning the ways +of the white man. Among other things it is interesting to know what he +thinks of prohibiting the use of the Dakota language. + +MY FRIENDS: Let me speak now. I am sad because of one thing which I will +now speak of. Since our school-house (the Burrell station school) was +built, I, with my children, have attended with a glad heart just as if +it were my own. And now I hear that it is likely to be closed, and I +will speak about that. And this is why I have something to say. The +scholars who go out from the Brules to go to school, come back without +knowing anything, for the reason that they don't teach them anything +except to work. That is the reason they don't know anything, I think. + +And I will tell how it was with us under Indian customs since the time I +had understanding. Then the Indian tribes were happy. Into whatever +country was good they roamed just as they pleased. At that time, +although there were many Indians on all sides, there was a great country +in between full of buffalo. It seemed to be the buffalo's country. And +the Indian people were made happy because of the buffalo. The people +would move their camps and pitch their tents again and the buffalo would +come right in among their tents with a great noise. Then it was that the +people had great joy. + +And there was another thing that the people rejoiced in greatly. I will +speak of that also. That was in war. When they went to war and came near +the enemies' dwellings and saw the enemy there they would choose out +about ten of the bravest young men and dispatch them to kill some of the +enemy. Then they would draw near to the houses, and soon though there +might be five whose hearts were not able for it, the others would go on +and kill a man at his house. And the great joy that I spoke of was thus: +of the five who had killed an enemy but only four of them could take the +glory, but their names would be praised throughout the whole Indian +nation; they would be glorified and considered as chiefs. But most of +all, he who first killed the enemy he would be the chief. And then when +they had returned home even the women would rejoice greatly. They would +dance night and day, all of them. And as I, myself, was chief, I +considered this the very greatest joy. Such were our customs. + +But now from the place I now occupy, I look back and remember these +things. And though the Indian people had all of these customs, I know +not one of them that made the people prosper or brought life to them. I +have not seen that brought life to the people. And thus from where I am +now, I am always looking to the future. On this account I am looking +forward. The Indians have been told the words of the Grandfather, (the +President). And they tell us that by these words the people will +prosper. + +"Plant; by that you shall live," the Grandfather told them. And now I +know a little that the Grandfather spoke the truth. The Grandfather +gives me food for six days, but even though I eat a very little each +day, in three days I have eaten it all up. But now I have raised corn +and though I abide here eating nothing else, by it I live. And also to +go from my place to where the Grandfather gives me rations takes one +week to go and the same to come back and I stay over a few days to rest +when there, and so it altogether covers over three weeks or more. +Therefore, though I have settled here and desire to busy myself in all +the white man's ways that I am able, I have not yet become independent. +And therefore, I earnestly wish, if it were possible, that the +Grandfather would enable us to receive a year's rations at a time, and +then we would make speedy progress in the white man's way. + +And because of this also, the children do not advance much in their +learning. For when we go after the food they also go along. If they +should stay behind, food is scarce, therefore they go along. + +And now I hear it said that schooling in the Dakota language is to be +altogether stopped, and on this account I am sad. For in the +school-house here they learn well and also they pray. It is because they +do these things in the Dakota language that we have been brought to +understand them and to love them, and gladly live in accordance with +them. Then also if it was all done (the teaching and praying) by a white +man we would understand nothing about it, and so I do not think it would +be well. + +And now this is the last thing I want to say. The Grandfather has for +his own the Indians all over the land, and he always helps them +according to what may be for their welfare. Now he is measuring off the +land for them, but I hear it said that he measures it very, very small, +and I am sad about that. If only he would have mercy and measure it off +for them largely, that is what I think. A good while ago the Grandfather +made a treaty with the Indians and promised to give them three hundred +and twenty acres, and according to that I have chosen my homestead and +that suits me. Therefore I prize the Grandfather's word and measure +myself by it. And thus I possess myself and my children. + +Although we are not many people here, yet I always command them to give +heed to the words of the Grandfather. And I bear witness to their +constant attendance at the house (the school and church) that stands +here. Although I am wholly an Indian, yet these are my judgments and so +I tell them. And I write them in order that some may think about the +Indians. My friends, I wish you to hear these words and so I write them. +I shake hands with a good heart. + +LOAFER REDHORSE. + +Burrell Station, Rosebud Agency, D.T. + + * * * * * + + + + +BUREAU OF WOMAN'S WORK. + +MISS D.E.

Cyrus Richardson, +Nashua, N.H. + +A teacher in the South writes:--"We have had a Merry Christmas trying to +make others happy. The people have never done so much for others before. +We found an old couple in very destitute circumstances, and asked the +school children if they would not like to do something for them. It was +very interesting to see them bring their gifts of a little sugar, meal, +flour, or an armful of wood, a potato, a little salt, whatever they +could get. It did them good. After our Christmas exercises at the +church, we took quite a number of the children around to see the old +people, and they sang their Christmas songs. I don't know which enjoyed +it most, the children or the old people. + +Some young men of the Sunday-school paid a month's rent for a poor +woman. We are doing more than ever this year in getting the young people +to go and hold prayer meetings, or read to those who cannot get out to +church." + + * * * * * + + + + +FOR THE CHILDREN. + +HOW SUSY WENT TO TOUGALOO. + +You never could guess just how she went, if you should try from now +until your next birthday, so I'll tell you first how she came to go to +Tougaloo at all. + +To begin with, Mamma Bradley had been rummaging about in the attic a +long time, when little Fay set out to find her. + +"What are you doing up here, mamma?" said Fay. "I've been hunting for +you ever so long." + +"Oh, I'm looking for some things to put in the barrel that is going to +Tougaloo for the poor people that the missionaries are working for." + +"Clothes?" said Fay. + +"Yes, clothes, and I suppose they would be glad of almost anything that +would help to make their lives more comfortable," said her mother. + +Fay sat down in an old basket and watched her mother fold and unfold the +contents of trunks and boxes so quietly, that Mrs. Bradley finally +looked up and said: + +"Why don't you go to your play, dear? What are you thinking about?" + +"I was thinking," said Fay, "do you s'pose the Tougaloo folks have any +little girls?" + +"Oh, yes, plenty of them." + +"Big's me?" + +"Yes, all sizes, I suppose," said Mrs. Bradley, going on with her work. + +"Well," said Fay, "I was thinking, how d'you s'pose they'd like Susy?" + +"What! the new dolly that Auntie gave you for keeping your elbows off +the table?" + +"Yes'm," said Fay. "Do you s'pose she'd make a little Tougaloo girl's +life any more comfor'ble?" + +"Why, yes, dear, anything that gives you so much pleasure would please +them, of course," said her mother, "but are you quite sure you want to +give Susy away?" + +"Well, when Auntie gave us our missionary boxes in the Sunday-school +class, she told us to be sure and remember what was printed on them, and +she read on one side something about people giving their first fruits, +and she said it meant their best things, and on top it said, 'Inasmuch +as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, ye have done it unto +me.' Now Susy is my best doll--any way I love her best, and there +couldn't be anybody much leaster than a little girl like me way down in +Tougaloo, could there, mamma?" + +"Well, you must think it all over, and if you are quite sure that you +want to do it, we will take Susy down to the church this afternoon with +the other things," said her mother. + +Fay said no more, and in a few minutes she tripped down stairs, and when +her mamma followed soon after, she heard the creak of Fay's little +rocking chair, and the words, "Sleep, baby, sleep," which told her as +she peeped through a crack in the door, that Susy was getting her last +lullaby from the fond little mother, who at the proper time presented +Susy all dressed for her journey to Tougaloo. + +"When Fay and her mother arrived at the church, sure enough right there +in the parlor stood two or three barrels, while dear old Mrs. Rogers and +half a dozen other ladies were filling them with useful articles. + +"Here is a package of clothing," said Mrs. Bradley, " and I have another +bundle, which Dennis will bring from the carriage in a few minutes." + +"And Susy's going to Tougaloo," said Fay, reaching out her treasure to +Grandma Rogers as she spoke. + +"Well now, the dear," said Grandma Rogers, "don't you want her yourself, +blossom?" + +"No'm, not now," said Fay, "if you'll find a little girl who'll take +real good care of her--her name's 'Susy.'" + +"Well, did you ever!" said Grandma Rogers. " Here's jest the place for +Susy, she can set right here in Miss Blout's bunnit as snug as a bug." + +"Wait a minute, Mrs. Rogers," said Miss Bliss, and taking a pencil she +wrote on a little slip of paper, "My name is Susy, and I should like to +go to some little girl who will take good care of me." This she read and +pinned the slip on Susy's pretty dress when she was safely seated in +"Miss Blout's bunnit," in which odd carriage, made of roses and ribbons, +Susy started on her long journey to Tougaloo. Her little mother, Fay, +would like some day to get a letter from Susy's new mother, though she +has not yet heard from her. + +FROM N.Y.

If you do not agree to abide by all +the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy +all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession. +If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project +Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the +terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or +entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8. + +1.B. "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be +used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who +agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few +things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works +even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See +paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project +Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement +and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. See paragraph 1.E below. + +1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation" +or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project +Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Nearly all the individual works in the +collection are in the public domain in the United States. If an +individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are +located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from +copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative +works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg +are removed. Of course, we hope that you will support the Project +Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by +freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of +this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with +the work. You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by +keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project +Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others. + +1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern +what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in +a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States, check +the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement +before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or +creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project +Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no representations concerning +the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United +States. + +1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg: + +1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate +access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently +whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the +phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project +Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed, +copied or distributed: + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or +re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included +with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org + +1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived +from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is +posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied +and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees +or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work +with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the +work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1 +through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the +Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or +1.E.9. + +1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted +with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution +must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional +terms imposed by the copyright holder. Additional terms will be linked +to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the +permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work. + +1.E.4.

However, if you provide access to or +distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than +"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version +posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org), +you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a +copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon +request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other +form. Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm +License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1. + +1.E.7. Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying, +performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works +unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9. + +1.E.8. You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing +access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided +that + +- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from + the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method + you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is + owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he + has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the + Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments + must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you + prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax + returns. Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and + sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the + address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to + the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation." + +- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies + you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he + does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm + License. You must require such a user to return or + destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium + and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of + Project Gutenberg-tm works. + +- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any + money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the + electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days + of receipt of the work. + +- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free + distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works. + +1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm +electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set +forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from +both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael +Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark. Contact the +Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below. + +1.F. + +1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable +effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread +public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm +collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain +"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or +corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual +property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a +computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by +your equipment. + +1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right +of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project +Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project +Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all +liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal +fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT +LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE +PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE +TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE +LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR +INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH +DAMAGE. + +1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a +defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can +receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a +written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you +received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with +your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with +the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a +refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity +providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to +receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy +is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further +opportunities to fix the problem. + +1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth +in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO OTHER +WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO +WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE. + +1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied +warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. +If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the +law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be +interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by +the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any +provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions. + +1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the +trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone +providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance +with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production, +promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works, +harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees, +that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do +or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm +work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any +Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause. + + +Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +https://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent +permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. + +The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S. +Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered +throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at +809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email +business@pglaf.org. Email contact links and up to date contact +information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official +page at https://pglaf.org + +For additional contact information: + Dr. Gregory B. Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's +eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII, +compressed (zipped), HTML and others. + +Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over +the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed. +VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving +new filenames and etext numbers. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + +EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000, +are filed in directories based on their release date. If you want to +download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular +search system you may utilize the following addresses and just +download by the etext year. For example: + + https://www.gutenberg.org/etext06 + + (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99, + 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90) + +EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are +filed in a different way. The year of a release date is no longer part +of the directory path. The path is based on the etext number (which is +identical to the filename). The path to the file is made up of single +digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename. For +example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at: + + https://www.gutenberg.org/1/0/2/3/10234 + +or filename 24689 would be found at: + https://www.gutenberg.org/2/4/6/8/24689 + +An alternative method of locating eBooks: + https://www.gutenberg.org/GUTINDEX.ALL + + diff --git a/old/11763-8.zip b/old/11763-8.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..7933cdb --- /dev/null +++ b/old/11763-8.zip diff --git a/old/11763-h.zip b/old/11763-h.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..d62cb84 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/11763-h.zip diff --git a/old/11763-h/11763-h.htm b/old/11763-h/11763-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..baf88c4 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/11763-h/11763-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,3287 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" + "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> +<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> + <head> + <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> + <title>The American Missionary, Vol. XLII.

JAMES POWELL, D.D.</h3> + <p>"He whom thou lovest is dead," were the sorrowful words of the stricken sisters + concerning their brother; we repeat them to our many friends who enjoyed the personal + friendship of our beloved brother Powell. These friends cannot restore him to us, as + <i>the</i> Friend restored Lazarus to his family; but they can sympathize with us in + our great bereavement. It is scarcely three months since our honored president, Gov. + Washburn, was suddenly taken away, and we have not yet found his successor; and now, + Dr. Powell has been removed almost as suddenly, and we can scarcely hope to find one + to take his place. Our only consolation is, that God makes no mistakes, and that, + while men die, His work goes on.</p> + <p>The death of Dr. Powell was unexpected, but its cause lay far back. When only + nineteen years of age, he entered the service of the Christian Commission, and in the + malarial regions of the South, the germs of disease were planted in his system. They + were the cause of frequent and distressing turns of illness, while his irrepressible + energy never allowed him to take the rest necessary for recovery. The physicians + pronounced the immediate cause of his death to be apoplexy, but most men carrying his + burden of ill-health would have yielded long before; only his immeasurable + hopefulness and activity sustained him to the end.</p> + <p>Rev. James Powell, D.D., was born in Wales, December 25, 1842. At an early age he + came to this country, and partly by his own exertions and partly by the help of + friends whom he had won to himself by his genial nature and evident indications of + future usefulness, he obtained an education, graduating from Dartmouth College in + 1866, and from Andover Theological Seminary in 1869. He was installed as pastor of + the church at Newburyport in November, 1869, his only pastorate, and remained there + till February, 1873. His health being impaired by his incessant labors as pastor, he + was persuaded by his friend, Rev. Mr. Pike, to aid in introducing the Jubilee Singers + to the English public, with the further purpose of either remaining abroad to manage + the affairs of the Singers in Great Britain, or of returning and temporarily taking + Mr. Pike's place in <span class="pagenum"><a name="page30" + id="page30"></a>{30}</span> Connecticut and New York, as District Secretary of the + Association. The latter alternative was finally decided upon, and Mr. Powell assumed + these duties in the latter part of the year 1873. A year afterwards, on the + resignation of Rev. Dr. Patton from our Chicago office, Mr. Powell, who had shown + remarkable gifts as a speaker, was at once selected as District Secretary of our + Western department. Here he remained for nearly ten years, when some changes were + required in our district offices and he was called to New York as Assistant + Corresponding Secretary, and entrusted with the supervision of the entire collecting + field. The work he had done so acceptably and efficiently at the West was followed by + equally effective services in his wider field at the East. In the three years of the + recent burden of debt upon the Association, the energies of Dr. Powell were called + into full play, and when, at our last Annual Meeting, we rejoiced in deliverance from + debt, it was felt that the gratifying result was due in a large measure to his + eloquence by voice and pen. At that meeting Dr. Powell was elected Corresponding + Secretary of the Association.</p> + <p>Bro. Powell was an orator born, not made. His eloquence was not of the Websterian + sort, massive and logical, but rather of that magnetic kind which wins and sways an + audience at will, sometimes to smiles and then to tears, but always with definite + persuasion. He was a brilliant writer as well as speaker. His pen glowed with a + special inspiration, and was prolific as well. The pages of the AMERICAN MISSIONARY, + the columns of the weekly religious press, the numerous circulars issued from this + office and his abundant correspondence, all bear witness to this. He was a wise man + in counsel. The impassioned and imaginative speaker is not usually characterized by a + cautious judgment or administrative gifts; but we have found in this office that when + grave questions arose for consideration, Dr. Powell was remarkably conservative and + judicious. But the crowning glory of the man was his bright and genial nature, and + his warm and devoted Christian character. It was this that won all hearts, that made + him welcome on every platform and in every pulpit, that bound his friends to him in + warmest attachment, that opened the doors of all homes to him and that leaves the + memory of brightness behind him in the offices where he toiled and in his own dear + home. His life went out not as the lightning's flash, that leaves the deeper darkness + behind, nor as the setting sun, that has the night before and after, but his + departure from life was only the entrance into eternal brightness, and leaves a + radiance behind that will be a perpetual joy and consolation to his friends. He was + born on Christmas day, and the festivities of another Christmas day were not wholly + past when he died. His birth was a Christmas gift to earth, and, be it said with + reverence, his death was a Christmas gift to Heaven, for through the grace of our + Lord Jesus Christ, and the sanctifying influence of the blessed spirit, we believe he + was made meet to be presented to the Father, in whose hands we leave him.</p> + <span class="pagenum"><a name="page31" id="page31"></a>{31}</span> + <a name="editorial2" id="editorial2"></a> + <h3>A WORD TO OUR WORKERS</h3> + <p>To lead a people long crushed by oppression away from the degradations of slavery + into a true and intelligent freedom, to teach those who have no inheritance of steady + purpose to rise into new habits of thought and feeling, and away from the heredity of + superstitions which were unrelated with morality, into a faith which really purifies + the heart and the life, is not the work of a year, nor of fifty years. It means + patient continuance in well doing. It means consecration, responsibility and + self-sacrifice on the part of those who take upon themselves and into themselves, the + sins and the sorrows, and the struggles and failures of those who are to be + saved.</p> + <p>Nothing but a consecration that becomes a passion of the soul in Christ's love and + for Christ's sake, and an abiding faith in the triumph of his kingdom of love and + righteousness, will explain the earnestness and labor of the devoted souls in our + mission work, who are God's kings and priests ministering to the lowly, and crowding + their days with service for those who have been the victims of the strong, and who, + now weak and poor, are despised in their poverty and weakness.</p> + <hr /> + <p>All honor to those who are giving themselves to break down the injustices of a + cruel and unchristian caste, all honor to the noble men and women who are working to + rescue millions from the woeful inheritance of centuries, as well as to save them from + the dominion of the sin which is common to man.</p> + <p>Others may honor Kings and Queens and Princes who have had their greatness thrust + upon them, but we will stand with those who accentuate their reverence for lives + consecrated to the good of humanity, who are afflicted with the sorrows of God's + poor, and oppressed with their burdens, and whose prayers and songs are <i>God save + the people</i>, Their lives may not be chronicled in the pages which tell of those + who lived to make others serve them, but they are shining names upon God's Book of + Life, and in the day of the coronation of the nobility which God sees and records, + their names will stand out like radiant stars in the heavens. One of such was JAMES + POWELL, whose life was a grand sacrifice of undeviating love for those whose + necessities made him feel that he was debtor to them, until he gave them the price of + his life which Christ had redeemed.</p> + <p>Subordinating himself to this consecration with incessant desire, he has left his + example which may well be inspiration and strength to all who are working and praying + for those who have been trodden under the feet of the strong, and he has left his + influence for tens of thousands.</p> + <hr /> + <p>In the prophecy which foretold Christ, centuries before he came it was written, + "<i>He shall not fail, nor be discouraged</i>." Fellow workers, it is <span + class="pagenum"><a name="page32" id="page32"></a>{32}</span> not the consecration of + a year, nor of a generation, that is to restore the millions for whom we work to the + places where God would bring them. The pitiless centuries cannot be redeemed in one + day. Doubtless the work may seem slow and the time may seem long, but every good deed + counts, and no prayer is unheard. The good work is not in vain. The progress already + made is wonderful. The workers who have consecrated themselves may die in their + unfinished work, but God has pledged himself that the work shall go on. His promises + and his providences will work together like cogs in a wheel. We shall not fail, and + we need not be discouraged. Such lives as that of JAMES POWELL are not too common in + human history, but they show us how the divine can endue the human with its own + power, and how God can make souls great witnesses for God. Some tell us that the + heroic ages have passed away, but they have not. No! They will last until the world + shall be saved, for the inspirations which come from the spirit of God and from the + cross of Christ will live in hearts which will burn to save those who need to be + saved.</p> + <hr /> + <p>Since the death of Dr. Powell, we have received numerous letters from all parts of + the country expressing sympathy in our great bereavement, which the writers shared + profoundly with us. The admiration and love entertained by the writers, and uttered + in these letters, toward our beloved brother, is gratifying to us, as it is also to + his family. In the pressure of duties consequent upon his death and burial, we have + not found time to reply to these letters, and take this occasion to acknowledge their + receipt and to express our heartfelt thankfulness to the writers.</p> + <hr /> + <a name="editorial3" id="editorial3"></a> + <p>We shall not be able to make the stirring appeals to provide for the exigent + demands of our great work which our readers have been wont to recognize as coming + from the heart of Dr. Powell, who had the oversight and burden of the collecting + fields.</p> + <p>Never was our work more critical, never more urgent and never more hopeful.</p> + <p>The winter months, on which we must chiefly rely, are here, and are fast moving + into the past. The work has been laid upon us and it would seem faithless to our + sacred trust to sacrifice any part of it. But we must not take on a debt. We can only + be saved from putting the knife to our work or of trying to do what we cannot pay + for, if the faithful pastors of the churches will give their very present help. If + the pastors who believe in the work, which includes the education and salvation of + the needy among four races, will give their churches and Christian stewards a good + chance to know how great the cause is and what its honest appeals are, we are + confident that the Lord will deliver us from impending trouble.</p> + <span class="pagenum"><a name="page33" id="page33"></a>{33}</span> + <p>We will gladly furnish every pastor, and others who will send to us for them, such + facts and figures as may be helpful in representing the work. Surely we can depend + upon those who love God and their country for thoughtful remembrance and ready + response.</p> + <hr /> + <p>The Rev. C.J. Ryder who has been assigned to the District Secretaryship of the + Eastern district for the collecting field in New England, will, upon his return from + a supervisory tour in the extreme South, succeed our friend, Dr. Woodworth, in the + Boston office.</p> + <p>It is well known to our readers that Superintendent Ryder, two and a half years + ago, was induced to assume the laborious work then demitted by Rev. Dr. Roy upon a + similar transfer of Dr. Roy from the Field Superintendency to the District + Secretaryship of the West, with his office in Chicago. To those who have read the + "Notes in the Saddle" from the South, in our magazine, written by Supt. Ryder, we + need add no word of introduction. Nor need we say that he will carry into his new + department of our common work the same energy, zeal and interest which has + characterized the past. With his presentations of the work, and with his personal + knowledge and experience of the field, and of every part of it, we anticipate for the + new District Secretary a hearty welcome and co-operation on the part of our pastors + and churches. The work in the South will be temporarily supervised, and arrangements + have been made for this by the New York office.</p> + <hr /> + <p>In retiring from his long-time trust, the Rev. Dr. Woodworth bears with him the + thanks of multitudes of God's poor in the South, and the high regard of all who have + been associated in co-operative work with him. It is not impossible that he may yet + see his way to add to his record of many years, still further service in another + department of this varied work.</p> + <hr /> + <a name="editorial4" id="editorial4"></a> + <h3>DEATH OF REV. WM. H. ELLIS.</h3> + <p>Rev. William H. Ellis died Nov. 28th, at Troy, N.C., aged thirty-five years and + six months. He entered the work of the A.M.A. in North Carolina in 1878 and continued + in that field. At the time of his death he was pastor of the Congregational Church + and teacher of the Association's school, at Troy, N.C. He was a graduate of Williams + College and continued his habits of study during the years of his arduous labor as a + missionary.</p> + <p>He had been for a long time in feeble health, but was unwilling to leave his post + of duty even temporarily to secure his recovery. His services in this field of the + A.M.A. have been characterized by self-denial, patience and faithfulness. He was + intensely loyal to his convictions and died having fought the good fight, a Christian + hero.</p> + <span class="pagenum"><a name="page34" id="page34"></a>{34}</span> + <hr class="full" /> + <a name="field" id="field"></a> + <h2>THE FIELD.</h2> + <p style="text-align: center;">1887-1888.</p> + <p>The following list presents the names and post-office addresses of those who are + employed in the Churches, Institutions and Schools aided by the American Missionary + Association.</p> + <div class="field"> + <h4>THE SOUTH.</h4> + <h5>WASHINGTON, D.C.</h5> + <p class="location">THEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT, HOWARD UNIVERSITY.</p> +<pre> +Rev.

RYDER.</p> + <p>I write these notes under the shadow of the great affliction that has fallen upon + the A.M.A. in the death of Dr. Powell. Although he was at the head of another + department of A.M.A. work, we always knew that we had in him a kind and thoughtful + friend, and one who would cordially co-operate with the other officers in their + far-reaching plans for the development of the work, even though it added to his cares + and burdens in gathering the funds necessary to carry out these plans. We who have + our work and responsibilities in the field, no less than those who were in <span + class="pagenum"><a name="page44" id="page44"></a>{44}</span> the office with Dr. + Powell, would bear our tribute of love, and scatter the blossoms of holy memories + upon this new-made grave.</p> + <hr /> + <p>Two State Associations of unusual interest were held during the month of November. + The Central South Association met with the Trinity Church, in Athens, Ala., Nov. 3d. + This Association includes the churches of Tennessee and two or three of those in + Alabama. The reports from the churches were very complete. Only one church in the + Association was without regular ministerial services, and that church had recently + lost its pastor by death. They are now supplied by a competent and faithful minister. + The temperance question was discussed with great enthusiasm. The influence of Fisk + University on the right side, during the recent prohibition battle in Tennessee, can + scarcely be over-estimated. Many expressed the judgment that the argument of the + Southern whites, that the colored people defeated prohibition, was not true. One + pastor reported that his county went almost solidly against prohibition, and there + was only one colored man in the county, so far as he knew, and he was a staunch + prohibitionist. Some argued that while so many churches and Women's Christian + Temperance Unions and Young Men's Christian Associations shut out respectable colored + people, and saloons welcomed those who were not respectable, it would be a difficult + task for the better class to induce the more ignorant to vote against those who + welcomed them and in favor of those who shut them out. Is there not considerable + force in their arguments?</p> + <p>A young colored man, who had been a preacher in one of the old churches of the + South and had become disgusted with its ignorance, superstition and immorality, + presented his credentials and applied for admission into the Congregational + Association of the State. This action of his is a straw which shows which way the + wind of religious thought blows among the intelligent colored people of the South. + The weather-vane points toward Congregationalism. An aged pastor, who had endured + ostracism and violence in New York State in the early times, on account of his + anti-slavery opinions, was present during the meetings of the Association, and added + greatly to their interest. It was a thrilling sight to him to look upon these colored + brethren during their earnest and often eloquent discussions, and to remember how + much he had suffered in their behalf in other days. Trinity School opened its doors + wide and offered generous hospitality to the pastors and delegates. On the whole, it + was one of the best meetings the Association has ever enjoyed.</p> + <hr /> + <p>The Congregational Association of the State of Georgia met with the church at + Macon, November 9th-14th. The church and its new pastor, a son of Connecticut, did + their utmost to make the meetings pleasant and helpful. The band of earnest Christian + teachers of Lewis Normal Institute, <span class="pagenum"><a name="page45" + id="page45"></a>{45}</span> the A.M.A. school at Macon, joined hands with the church + and pastor in helping to make the sessions of the Association profitable. Here, too, + as in the Central South Association, the temperance question held a prominent place + in the discussions. There was not a member of the Association but was heartily in + favor of prohibition. The Atlanta campaign was on in all its heat and passion, and + beseeching requests were made by the delegates from that city that prayer might be + offered for them as they passed through the heat of this battle against legalizing + crime. Almost every church in the Association was represented in this meeting and one + new church applied for admission. This church stands near the old prison pen of + Andersonville and so the blood of the martyrs proves the seed of the church, whether + they wear the monk's cowl of a Huss or the ragged blue of our country. The church at + Charleston, S.C., reported two missions just established in the destitute parts of + that city. All the churches in this Association assisted by the A.M.A. are struggling + towards self-support under helpful pressure from that Society. I am glad to report + that the church at Savannah has taken upon itself the support of its pastor and local + expenses for the next year. The churches in this Association, although poor and often + in serious financial straits themselves, showed their appreciation of other lines of + Christian work by passing the following resolution:</p> + <blockquote> + <p><i>Resolved,</i> That in view of the financial embarrassments of the Home + Missionary Society, the pastors of the churches urge upon their people the duty of + taking up a collection for the benefit of that Society.</p> + </blockquote> + <hr /> + <p>As illustrating the need of intelligent and decent church services in the South, I + record the following facts, which were related to me by those who knew of them + personally. A colored preacher of the "old-time" sort preached on the Judgment Day. + He held the meeting from evening till well into the night. He arranged with a + worthless fellow to hide himself in the woods just outside the church, with a + tremendously big dinner-horn, with instructions to blow upon it at a certain signal. + At the awful hour of midnight, when, by entreaty and appeal and frightful figures of + speech, the preacher had worked the people up into a frenzy of excitement and terror, + he exclaimed, "Listen, I reckon I hear Gabriel getting ready to blow now. De last day + am on us, de judgment am right here, whar you sinners now? Listen." And with bated + breath they listened. Just then there came a fearful blast on the stillness of the + midnight air, and the scene that followed can better be imagined than described. + Helter-skelter over the benches and over each other, the terrified people scrambled + for the mourners' bench. The preacher boastfully told afterward, that "dar want + scarsely one sinner but what wah effected."</p> + <p>The quiet forms of worship in our Congregational churches, and the intelligent + preaching of the A.M.A. ministers, are fast bringing about a <span class="pagenum"><a + name="page46" id="page46"></a>{46}</span> state of things which will drive out such + church circuses, with their ministerial clowns. God speed the day!</p> + <hr /> + <p>During a considerable portion of the last month I have been "riding double," as + our honored Secretary, Dr. Beard, has been in the saddle with me. His knowledge of + the field, gained through these frequent personal visits, is of great advantage to + the work and highly appreciated by the workers. We jogged together over many miles of + country, comparing notes, discussing plans and expressing our mutual surprise at the + wonderful and far-reaching work which is being accomplished, and the prophetic + glories of the future.</p> + <p>An account of the mountain campaign, through which Secretary Beard went with me, + will be the subject of future notes.</p> + <hr /> + <p>The following churches have been organized in our Southern field during the past + few weeks:</p> + <p>Deer Lodge Congregational Church, Deer Lodge, Tenn., organized Nov. 16, 1887, with + thirteen members; Calvary Congregational Church, Pine Mountain, Tenn., organized Nov. + 26, 1887, with thirteen members; Second Congregational Church, Decatur, Ala., + organized Nov. 30, 1887, with fifteen members.</p> + <hr class="full" /> + <a name="indians" id="indians"></a> + <h3>THE INDIANS.</h3> + <h4>WHAT AN INDIAN THINKS OF IT.</h4> + <p>The writer of this letter is Loafer Redhorse, a son-in-law of the Titon Chief, + Swift Bear, whose band have colonized as homesteaders along the Niobrara River near + the mouth of Keya Paha River. Their colony is one hundred and thirty miles from + Rosebud Agency, to which they belong. Their settlement we call Burrell Station in + honor of Dea. Burrell, of Oberlin, Ohio, who gave the money to build the school-house + and home for the teacher. Mr. Francis Frazier, son of Pastor Ehnamani of Santee, has + now been their teacher two years.</p> + <p>Loafer Redhorse is anything but a loafer. He is one of the most industrious men. + He is one who would naturally be first in war, as he says, and now also is first in + following the plow, and learning the ways of the white man. Among other things it is + interesting to know what he thinks of prohibiting the use of the Dakota language.</p> + <p>MY FRIENDS: Let me speak now. I am sad because of one thing which I will now speak + of. Since our school-house (the Burrell station school) was built, I, with my + children, have attended with a glad heart just as if it were my own. And now I hear + that it is likely to be closed, and I will speak about that. And this is why I have + something to say. The scholars <span class="pagenum"><a name="page47" + id="page47"></a>{47}</span> who go out from the Brules to go to school, come back + without knowing anything, for the reason that they don't teach them anything except + to work. That is the reason they don't know anything, I think.</p> + <p>And I will tell how it was with us under Indian customs since the time I had + understanding. Then the Indian tribes were happy. Into whatever country was good they + roamed just as they pleased. At that time, although there were many Indians on all + sides, there was a great country in between full of buffalo. It seemed to be the + buffalo's country. And the Indian people were made happy because of the buffalo. The + people would move their camps and pitch their tents again and the buffalo would come + right in among their tents with a great noise. Then it was that the people had great + joy.</p> + <p>And there was another thing that the people rejoiced in greatly. I will speak of + that also. That was in war. When they went to war and came near the enemies' + dwellings and saw the enemy there they would choose out about ten of the bravest + young men and dispatch them to kill some of the enemy. Then they would draw near to + the houses, and soon though there might be five whose hearts were not able for it, + the others would go on and kill a man at his house. And the great joy that I spoke of + was thus: of the five who had killed an enemy but only four of them could take the + glory, but their names would be praised throughout the whole Indian nation; they + would be glorified and considered as chiefs. But most of all, he who first killed the + enemy he would be the chief. And then when they had returned home even the women + would rejoice greatly. They would dance night and day, all of them. And as I, myself, + was chief, I considered this the very greatest joy. Such were our customs.</p> + <p>But now from the place I now occupy, I look back and remember these things. And + though the Indian people had all of these customs, I know not one of them that made + the people prosper or brought life to them. I have not seen that brought life to the + people. And thus from where I am now, I am always looking to the future. On this + account I am looking forward. The Indians have been told the words of the + Grandfather, (the President). And they tell us that by these words the people will + prosper.</p> + <p>"Plant; by that you shall live," the Grandfather told them. And now I know a + little that the Grandfather spoke the truth. The Grandfather gives me food for six + days, but even though I eat a very little each day, in three days I have eaten it all + up. But now I have raised corn and though I abide here eating nothing else, by it I + live. And also to go from my place to where the Grandfather gives me rations takes + one week to go and the same to come back and I stay over a few days to rest when + there, and so it altogether covers over three weeks or more. Therefore, though I have + settled here and desire to busy myself in all the white man's ways that I am able, I + have not yet become independent. And therefore, I earnestly wish, if it were + possible, that the Grandfather would enable us to receive <span class="pagenum"><a + name="page48" id="page48"></a>{48}</span> a year's rations at a time, and then we + would make speedy progress in the white man's way.</p> + <p>And because of this also, the children do not advance much in their learning. For + when we go after the food they also go along. If they should stay behind, food is + scarce, therefore they go along.</p> + <p>And now I hear it said that schooling in the Dakota language is to be altogether + stopped, and on this account I am sad. For in the school-house here they learn well + and also they pray. It is because they do these things in the Dakota language that we + have been brought to understand them and to love them, and gladly live in accordance + with them. Then also if it was all done (the teaching and praying) by a white man we + would understand nothing about it, and so I do not think it would be well.</p> + <p>And now this is the last thing I want to say. The Grandfather has for his own the + Indians all over the land, and he always helps them according to what may be for + their welfare. Now he is measuring off the land for them, but I hear it said that he + measures it very, very small, and I am sad about that. If only he would have mercy + and measure it off for them largely, that is what I think. A good while ago the + Grandfather made a treaty with the Indians and promised to give them three hundred + and twenty acres, and according to that I have chosen my homestead and that suits me. + Therefore I prize the Grandfather's word and measure myself by it. And thus I possess + myself and my children.</p> + <p>Although we are not many people here, yet I always command them to give heed to + the words of the Grandfather. And I bear witness to their constant attendance at the + house (the school and church) that stands here. Although I am wholly an Indian, yet + these are my judgments and so I tell them. And I write them in order that some may + think about the Indians. My friends, I wish you to hear these words and so I write + them. I shake hands with a good heart.</p> + <p class="author">LOAFER REDHORSE.</p> + <p>Burrell Station, Rosebud Agency, D.T.</p> + <hr class="full" /> + <a name="bureau" id="bureau"></a> + <h3>BUREAU OF WOMAN'S WORK.</h3> + <h5>MISS D.E.

"I've been hunting for you ever so + long."</p> + <p>"Oh, I'm looking for some things to put in the barrel that is going to Tougaloo + for the poor people that the missionaries are working for."</p> + <p>"Clothes?" said Fay.</p> + <p>"Yes, clothes, and I suppose they would be glad of almost anything that would help + to make their lives more comfortable," said her mother.</p> + <p>Fay sat down in an old basket and watched her mother fold and unfold the contents + of trunks and boxes so quietly, that Mrs. Bradley finally looked up and said:</p> + <p>"Why don't you go to your play, dear? What are you thinking about?"</p> + <p>"I was thinking," said Fay, "do you s'pose the Tougaloo folks have any little + girls?"</p> + <span class="pagenum"><a name="page50" id="page50"></a>{50}</span> + <p>"Oh, yes, plenty of them."</p> + <p>"Big's me?"</p> + <p>"Yes, all sizes, I suppose," said Mrs. Bradley, going on with her work.</p> + <p>"Well," said Fay, "I was thinking, how d'you s'pose they'd like Susy?"</p> + <p>"What! the new dolly that Auntie gave you for keeping your elbows off the + table?"</p> + <p>"Yes'm," said Fay. "Do you s'pose she'd make a little Tougaloo girl's life any + more comfor'ble?"</p> + <p>"Why, yes, dear, anything that gives you so much pleasure would please them, of + course," said her mother, "but are you quite sure you want to give Susy away?"</p> + <p>"Well, when Auntie gave us our missionary boxes in the Sunday-school class, she + told us to be sure and remember what was printed on them, and she read on one side + something about people giving their first fruits, and she said it meant their best + things, and on top it said, 'Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of + these, ye have done it unto me.' Now Susy is my best doll—any way I love her + best, and there couldn't be anybody much leaster than a little girl like me way down + in Tougaloo, could there, mamma?"</p> + <p>"Well, you must think it all over, and if you are quite sure that you want to do + it, we will take Susy down to the church this afternoon with the other things," said + her mother.</p> + <p>Fay said no more, and in a few minutes she tripped down stairs, and when her mamma + followed soon after, she heard the creak of Fay's little rocking chair, and the + words, "Sleep, baby, sleep," which told her as she peeped through a crack in the + door, that Susy was getting her last lullaby from the fond little mother, who at the + proper time presented Susy all dressed for her journey to Tougaloo.</p> + <p>"When Fay and her mother arrived at the church, sure enough right there in the + parlor stood two or three barrels, while dear old Mrs. Rogers and half a dozen other + ladies were filling them with useful articles.</p> + <p>"Here is a package of clothing," said Mrs. Bradley, " and I have another bundle, + which Dennis will bring from the carriage in a few minutes."</p> + <p>"And Susy's going to Tougaloo," said Fay, reaching out her treasure to Grandma + Rogers as she spoke.</p> + <p>"Well now, the dear," said Grandma Rogers, "don't you want her yourself, + blossom?"</p> + <p>"No'm, not now," said Fay, "if you'll find a little girl who'll take real good + care of her—her name's ' Susy.'"</p> + <p>"Well, did you ever!" said Grandma Rogers. " Here's jest the place for Susy, she + can set right here in Miss Blout's bunnit as snug as a bug."</p> + <p>"Wait a minute, Mrs. Rogers," said Miss Bliss, and taking a pencil she wrote on a + little slip of paper, "My name is Susy, and I should like to go to some little girl + who will take good care of me." This she read and pinned the slip on Susy's pretty + dress when she was safely seated in "Miss Blout's bunnit," in which odd carriage, + made of roses and ribbons, Susy started on her long journey to Tougaloo. Her little + mother, Fay, would like some day to get a letter from Susy's new mother, though she + has not yet heard from her.</p> + <p class="author">FROM N.Y.

General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's +eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII, +compressed (zipped), HTML and others. + +Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over +the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed. +VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving +new filenames and etext numbers. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + +EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000, +are filed in directories based on their release date. If you want to +download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular +search system you may utilize the following addresses and just +download by the etext year. For example: + + https://www.gutenberg.org/etext06 + + (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99, + 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90) + +EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are +filed in a different way. The year of a release date is no longer part +of the directory path. The path is based on the etext number (which is +identical to the filename). The path to the file is made up of single +digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename. For +example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at: + + https://www.gutenberg.org/1/0/2/3/10234 + +or filename 24689 would be found at: + https://www.gutenberg.org/2/4/6/8/24689 + +An alternative method of locating eBooks: + https://www.gutenberg.org/GUTINDEX.ALL + + + + +</pre> + + </body> +</html> + + diff --git a/old/11763-h/images/image1.png b/old/11763-h/images/image1.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..6290ea9 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/11763-h/images/image1.png diff --git a/old/11763-h/images/image1_small.png b/old/11763-h/images/image1_small.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..11c708b --- /dev/null +++ b/old/11763-h/images/image1_small.png diff --git a/old/11763.txt b/old/11763.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..c6501f1 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/11763.txt @@ -0,0 +1,4241 @@ +The Project Gutenberg EBook of The American Missionary, by Various + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

XLII. +FEBRUARY, 1888. +No. 2. + + * * * * * + + + + +American Missionary Association. + + * * * * * + + + + +DEATH OF REV. JAMES POWELL, D.D. + +"He whom thou lovest is dead," were the sorrowful words of the stricken +sisters concerning their brother; we repeat them to our many friends who +enjoyed the personal friendship of our beloved brother Powell. These +friends cannot restore him to us, as _the_ Friend restored Lazarus to +his family; but they can sympathize with us in our great bereavement. It +is scarcely three months since our honored president, Gov. Washburn, was +suddenly taken away, and we have not yet found his successor; and now, +Dr. Powell has been removed almost as suddenly, and we can scarcely hope +to find one to take his place. Our only consolation is, that God makes +no mistakes, and that, while men die, His work goes on. + +The death of Dr. Powell was unexpected, but its cause lay far back. When +only nineteen years of age, he entered the service of the Christian +Commission, and in the malarial regions of the South, the germs of +disease were planted in his system. They were the cause of frequent and +distressing turns of illness, while his irrepressible energy never +allowed him to take the rest necessary for recovery. The physicians +pronounced the immediate cause of his death to be apoplexy, but most men +carrying his burden of ill-health would have yielded long before; only +his immeasurable hopefulness and activity sustained him to the end. + +Rev. James Powell, D.D., was born in Wales, December 25, 1842. At an +early age he came to this country, and partly by his own exertions and +partly by the help of friends whom he had won to himself by his genial +nature and evident indications of future usefulness, he obtained an +education, graduating from Dartmouth College in 1866, and from Andover +Theological Seminary in 1869. He was installed as pastor of the church +at Newburyport in November, 1869, his only pastorate, and remained there +till February, 1873. His health being impaired by his incessant labors +as pastor, he was persuaded by his friend, Rev. Mr. Pike, to aid in +introducing the Jubilee Singers to the English public, with the further +purpose of either remaining abroad to manage the affairs of the Singers +in Great Britain, or of returning and temporarily taking Mr. Pike's +place in Connecticut and New York, as District Secretary of the +Association. The latter alternative was finally decided upon, and Mr. +Powell assumed these duties in the latter part of the year 1873. A year +afterwards, on the resignation of Rev. Dr. Patton from our Chicago +office, Mr. Powell, who had shown remarkable gifts as a speaker, was at +once selected as District Secretary of our Western department. Here he +remained for nearly ten years, when some changes were required in our +district offices and he was called to New York as Assistant +Corresponding Secretary, and entrusted with the supervision of the +entire collecting field. The work he had done so acceptably and +efficiently at the West was followed by equally effective services in +his wider field at the East. In the three years of the recent burden of +debt upon the Association, the energies of Dr. Powell were called into +full play, and when, at our last Annual Meeting, we rejoiced in +deliverance from debt, it was felt that the gratifying result was due in +a large measure to his eloquence by voice and pen. At that meeting Dr. +Powell was elected Corresponding Secretary of the Association. + +Bro. Powell was an orator born, not made. His eloquence was not of the +Websterian sort, massive and logical, but rather of that magnetic kind +which wins and sways an audience at will, sometimes to smiles and then +to tears, but always with definite persuasion. He was a brilliant writer +as well as speaker. His pen glowed with a special inspiration, and was +prolific as well. The pages of the AMERICAN MISSIONARY, the columns of +the weekly religious press, the numerous circulars issued from this +office and his abundant correspondence, all bear witness to this. He was +a wise man in counsel. The impassioned and imaginative speaker is not +usually characterized by a cautious judgment or administrative gifts; +but we have found in this office that when grave questions arose for +consideration, Dr. Powell was remarkably conservative and judicious. But +the crowning glory of the man was his bright and genial nature, and his +warm and devoted Christian character. It was this that won all hearts, +that made him welcome on every platform and in every pulpit, that bound +his friends to him in warmest attachment, that opened the doors of all +homes to him and that leaves the memory of brightness behind him in the +offices where he toiled and in his own dear home. His life went out not +as the lightning's flash, that leaves the deeper darkness behind, nor as +the setting sun, that has the night before and after, but his departure +from life was only the entrance into eternal brightness, and leaves a +radiance behind that will be a perpetual joy and consolation to his +friends. He was born on Christmas day, and the festivities of another +Christmas day were not wholly past when he died. His birth was a +Christmas gift to earth, and, be it said with reverence, his death was a +Christmas gift to Heaven, for through the grace of our Lord Jesus +Christ, and the sanctifying influence of the blessed spirit, we believe +he was made meet to be presented to the Father, in whose hands we leave +him. + + + + + +A WORD TO OUR WORKERS + +To lead a people long crushed by oppression away from the degradations +of slavery into a true and intelligent freedom, to teach those who have +no inheritance of steady purpose to rise into new habits of thought and +feeling, and away from the heredity of superstitions which were +unrelated with morality, into a faith which really purifies the heart +and the life, is not the work of a year, nor of fifty years. It means +patient continuance in well doing. It means consecration, responsibility +and self-sacrifice on the part of those who take upon themselves and +into themselves, the sins and the sorrows, and the struggles and +failures of those who are to be saved. + +Nothing but a consecration that becomes a passion of the soul in +Christ's love and for Christ's sake, and an abiding faith in the triumph +of his kingdom of love and righteousness, will explain the earnestness +and labor of the devoted souls in our mission work, who are God's kings +and priests ministering to the lowly, and crowding their days with +service for those who have been the victims of the strong, and who, now +weak and poor, are despised in their poverty and weakness. + + * * * * * + +All honor to those who are giving themselves to break down the +injustices of a cruel and unchristian caste, all honor to the noble men +and women who are working to rescue millions from the woeful inheritance +of centuries, as well as to save them from the dominion of the sin which +is common to man. + +Others may honor Kings and Queens and Princes who have had their +greatness thrust upon them, but we will stand with those who accentuate +their reverence for lives consecrated to the good of humanity, who are +afflicted with the sorrows of God's poor, and oppressed with their +burdens, and whose prayers and songs are _God save the people_, Their +lives may not be chronicled in the pages which tell of those who lived +to make others serve them, but they are shining names upon God's Book of +Life, and in the day of the coronation of the nobility which God sees +and records, their names will stand out like radiant stars in the +heavens. One of such was JAMES POWELL, whose life was a grand sacrifice +of undeviating love for those whose necessities made him feel that he +was debtor to them, until he gave them the price of his life which +Christ had redeemed. + +Subordinating himself to this consecration with incessant desire, he has +left his example which may well be inspiration and strength to all who +are working and praying for those who have been trodden under the feet +of the strong, and he has left his influence for tens of thousands. + + * * * * * + +In the prophecy which foretold Christ, centuries before he came it was +written, "_He shall not fail, nor be discouraged_." Fellow workers, it +is not the consecration of a year, nor of a generation, that is to +restore the millions for whom we work to the places where God would +bring them. The pitiless centuries cannot be redeemed in one day. +Doubtless the work may seem slow and the time may seem long, but every +good deed counts, and no prayer is unheard. The good work is not in +vain. The progress already made is wonderful. The workers who have +consecrated themselves may die in their unfinished work, but God has +pledged himself that the work shall go on. His promises and his +providences will work together like cogs in a wheel. We shall not fail, +and we need not be discouraged. Such lives as that of JAMES POWELL are +not too common in human history, but they show us how the divine can +endue the human with its own power, and how God can make souls great +witnesses for God. Some tell us that the heroic ages have passed away, +but they have not. No! They will last until the world shall be saved, +for the inspirations which come from the spirit of God and from the +cross of Christ will live in hearts which will burn to save those who +need to be saved. + + * * * * * + +Since the death of Dr. Powell, we have received numerous letters from +all parts of the country expressing sympathy in our great bereavement, +which the writers shared profoundly with us. The admiration and love +entertained by the writers, and uttered in these letters, toward our +beloved brother, is gratifying to us, as it is also to his family. In +the pressure of duties consequent upon his death and burial, we have not +found time to reply to these letters, and take this occasion to +acknowledge their receipt and to express our heartfelt thankfulness to +the writers. + + * * * * * + +We shall not be able to make the stirring appeals to provide for the +exigent demands of our great work which our readers have been wont to +recognize as coming from the heart of Dr. Powell, who had the oversight +and burden of the collecting fields. + +Never was our work more critical, never more urgent and never more +hopeful. + +The winter months, on which we must chiefly rely, are here, and are fast +moving into the past. The work has been laid upon us and it would seem +faithless to our sacred trust to sacrifice any part of it. But we must +not take on a debt. We can only be saved from putting the knife to our +work or of trying to do what we cannot pay for, if the faithful pastors +of the churches will give their very present help. If the pastors who +believe in the work, which includes the education and salvation of the +needy among four races, will give their churches and Christian stewards +a good chance to know how great the cause is and what its honest appeals +are, we are confident that the Lord will deliver us from impending +trouble. + + +We will gladly furnish every pastor, and others who will send to us for +them, such facts and figures as may be helpful in representing the work. +Surely we can depend upon those who love God and their country for +thoughtful remembrance and ready response. + + * * * * * + +The Rev. C.J. Ryder who has been assigned to the District Secretaryship +of the Eastern district for the collecting field in New England, will, +upon his return from a supervisory tour in the extreme South, succeed +our friend, Dr. Woodworth, in the Boston office. + +It is well known to our readers that Superintendent Ryder, two and a +half years ago, was induced to assume the laborious work then demitted +by Rev. Dr. Roy upon a similar transfer of Dr. Roy from the Field +Superintendency to the District Secretaryship of the West, with his +office in Chicago. To those who have read the "Notes in the Saddle" from +the South, in our magazine, written by Supt. Ryder, we need add no word +of introduction. Nor need we say that he will carry into his new +department of our common work the same energy, zeal and interest which +has characterized the past. With his presentations of the work, and with +his personal knowledge and experience of the field, and of every part of +it, we anticipate for the new District Secretary a hearty welcome and +co-operation on the part of our pastors and churches. The work in the +South will be temporarily supervised, and arrangements have been made +for this by the New York office. + + * * * * * + +In retiring from his long-time trust, the Rev. Dr. Woodworth bears with +him the thanks of multitudes of God's poor in the South, and the high +regard of all who have been associated in co-operative work with him. It +is not impossible that he may yet see his way to add to his record of +many years, still further service in another department of this varied +work. + + * * * * * + +DEATH OF REV. WM. H. ELLIS. + +Rev. William H. Ellis died Nov. 28th, at Troy, N.C., aged thirty-five +years and six months. He entered the work of the A.M.A. in North +Carolina in 1878 and continued in that field. At the time of his death +he was pastor of the Congregational Church and teacher of the +Association's school, at Troy, N.C. He was a graduate of Williams +College and continued his habits of study during the years of his +arduous labor as a missionary. + +He had been for a long time in feeble health, but was unwilling to leave +his post of duty even temporarily to secure his recovery. His services +in this field of the A.M.A. have been characterized by self-denial, +patience and faithfulness. He was intensely loyal to his convictions and +died having fought the good fight, a Christian hero. + + + + + + +THE FIELD. + +1887-1888. + +The following list presents the names and post-office addresses of those +who are employed in the Churches, Institutions and Schools aided by the +American Missionary Association. + + + + +THE SOUTH. + + + + +WASHINGTON, D.C. + +THEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT, HOWARD UNIVERSITY. + +Rev.

RYDER. + +I write these notes under the shadow of the great affliction that has +fallen upon the A.M.A. in the death of Dr. Powell. Although he was at the +head of another department of A.M.A. work, we always knew that we had in +him a kind and thoughtful friend, and one who would cordially co-operate +with the other officers in their far-reaching plans for the development +of the work, even though it added to his cares and burdens in gathering +the funds necessary to carry out these plans. We who have our work and +responsibilities in the field, no less than those who were in the office +with Dr. Powell, would bear our tribute of love, and scatter the +blossoms of holy memories upon this new-made grave. + + * * * * * + +Two State Associations of unusual interest were held during the month of +November. The Central South Association met with the Trinity Church, in +Athens, Ala., Nov. 3d. This Association includes the churches of +Tennessee and two or three of those in Alabama. The reports from the +churches were very complete. Only one church in the Association was +without regular ministerial services, and that church had recently lost +its pastor by death. They are now supplied by a competent and faithful +minister. The temperance question was discussed with great enthusiasm. +The influence of Fisk University on the right side, during the recent +prohibition battle in Tennessee, can scarcely be over-estimated. Many +expressed the judgment that the argument of the Southern whites, that +the colored people defeated prohibition, was not true. One pastor +reported that his county went almost solidly against prohibition, and +there was only one colored man in the county, so far as he knew, and he +was a staunch prohibitionist. Some argued that while so many churches +and Women's Christian Temperance Unions and Young Men's Christian +Associations shut out respectable colored people, and saloons welcomed +those who were not respectable, it would be a difficult task for the +better class to induce the more ignorant to vote against those who +welcomed them and in favor of those who shut them out. Is there not +considerable force in their arguments? + +A young colored man, who had been a preacher in one of the old churches +of the South and had become disgusted with its ignorance, superstition +and immorality, presented his credentials and applied for admission into +the Congregational Association of the State. This action of his is a +straw which shows which way the wind of religious thought blows among +the intelligent colored people of the South. The weather-vane points +toward Congregationalism. An aged pastor, who had endured ostracism and +violence in New York State in the early times, on account of his +anti-slavery opinions, was present during the meetings of the +Association, and added greatly to their interest. It was a thrilling +sight to him to look upon these colored brethren during their earnest +and often eloquent discussions, and to remember how much he had suffered +in their behalf in other days. Trinity School opened its doors wide and +offered generous hospitality to the pastors and delegates. On the whole, +it was one of the best meetings the Association has ever enjoyed. + + * * * * * + +The Congregational Association of the State of Georgia met with the +church at Macon, November 9th-14th. The church and its new pastor, a son +of Connecticut, did their utmost to make the meetings pleasant and +helpful. The band of earnest Christian teachers of Lewis Normal +Institute, the A.M.A. school at Macon, joined hands with the church and +pastor in helping to make the sessions of the Association profitable. +Here, too, as in the Central South Association, the temperance question +held a prominent place in the discussions. There was not a member of the +Association but was heartily in favor of prohibition. The Atlanta +campaign was on in all its heat and passion, and beseeching requests +were made by the delegates from that city that prayer might be offered +for them as they passed through the heat of this battle against +legalizing crime. Almost every church in the Association was represented +in this meeting and one new church applied for admission. This church +stands near the old prison pen of Andersonville and so the blood of the +martyrs proves the seed of the church, whether they wear the monk's cowl +of a Huss or the ragged blue of our country. The church at Charleston, +S.C., reported two missions just established in the destitute parts of +that city. All the churches in this Association assisted by the A.M.A. +are struggling towards self-support under helpful pressure from that +Society. I am glad to report that the church at Savannah has taken upon +itself the support of its pastor and local expenses for the next year. +The churches in this Association, although poor and often in serious +financial straits themselves, showed their appreciation of other lines +of Christian work by passing the following resolution: + + _Resolved,_ That in view of the financial embarrassments of the + Home Missionary Society, the pastors of the churches urge upon + their people the duty of taking up a collection for the benefit of + that Society. + + * * * * * + +As illustrating the need of intelligent and decent church services in +the South, I record the following facts, which were related to me by +those who knew of them personally. A colored preacher of the "old-time" +sort preached on the Judgment Day. He held the meeting from evening till +well into the night. He arranged with a worthless fellow to hide himself +in the woods just outside the church, with a tremendously big +dinner-horn, with instructions to blow upon it at a certain signal. At +the awful hour of midnight, when, by entreaty and appeal and frightful +figures of speech, the preacher had worked the people up into a frenzy +of excitement and terror, he exclaimed, "Listen, I reckon I hear Gabriel +getting ready to blow now. De last day am on us, de judgment am right +here, whar you sinners now? Listen." And with bated breath they +listened. Just then there came a fearful blast on the stillness of the +midnight air, and the scene that followed can better be imagined than +described. Helter-skelter over the benches and over each other, the +terrified people scrambled for the mourners' bench. The preacher +boastfully told afterward, that "dar want scarsely one sinner but what +wah effected." + +The quiet forms of worship in our Congregational churches, and the +intelligent preaching of the A.M.A. ministers, are fast bringing about a +state of things which will drive out such church circuses, with their +ministerial clowns. God speed the day! + + * * * * * + +During a considerable portion of the last month I have been "riding +double," as our honored Secretary, Dr. Beard, has been in the saddle +with me. His knowledge of the field, gained through these frequent +personal visits, is of great advantage to the work and highly +appreciated by the workers. We jogged together over many miles of +country, comparing notes, discussing plans and expressing our mutual +surprise at the wonderful and far-reaching work which is being +accomplished, and the prophetic glories of the future. + +An account of the mountain campaign, through which Secretary Beard went +with me, will be the subject of future notes. + + * * * * * + +The following churches have been organized in our Southern field during +the past few weeks: + +Deer Lodge Congregational Church, Deer Lodge, Tenn., organized Nov. 16, +1887, with thirteen members; Calvary Congregational Church, Pine +Mountain, Tenn., organized Nov. 26, 1887, with thirteen members; Second +Congregational Church, Decatur, Ala., organized Nov. 30, 1887, with +fifteen members. + + * * * * * + + + + +THE INDIANS. + + + + +WHAT AN INDIAN THINKS OF IT. + +The writer of this letter is Loafer Redhorse, a son-in-law of the Titon +Chief, Swift Bear, whose band have colonized as homesteaders along the +Niobrara River near the mouth of Keya Paha River. Their colony is one +hundred and thirty miles from Rosebud Agency, to which they belong. +Their settlement we call Burrell Station in honor of Dea. Burrell, of +Oberlin, Ohio, who gave the money to build the school-house and home for +the teacher. Mr. Francis Frazier, son of Pastor Ehnamani of Santee, has +now been their teacher two years. + +Loafer Redhorse is anything but a loafer. He is one of the most +industrious men. He is one who would naturally be first in war, as he +says, and now also is first in following the plow, and learning the ways +of the white man. Among other things it is interesting to know what he +thinks of prohibiting the use of the Dakota language. + +MY FRIENDS: Let me speak now. I am sad because of one thing which I will +now speak of. Since our school-house (the Burrell station school) was +built, I, with my children, have attended with a glad heart just as if +it were my own. And now I hear that it is likely to be closed, and I +will speak about that. And this is why I have something to say. The +scholars who go out from the Brules to go to school, come back without +knowing anything, for the reason that they don't teach them anything +except to work. That is the reason they don't know anything, I think. + +And I will tell how it was with us under Indian customs since the time I +had understanding. Then the Indian tribes were happy. Into whatever +country was good they roamed just as they pleased. At that time, +although there were many Indians on all sides, there was a great country +in between full of buffalo. It seemed to be the buffalo's country. And +the Indian people were made happy because of the buffalo. The people +would move their camps and pitch their tents again and the buffalo would +come right in among their tents with a great noise. Then it was that the +people had great joy. + +And there was another thing that the people rejoiced in greatly. I will +speak of that also. That was in war. When they went to war and came near +the enemies' dwellings and saw the enemy there they would choose out +about ten of the bravest young men and dispatch them to kill some of the +enemy. Then they would draw near to the houses, and soon though there +might be five whose hearts were not able for it, the others would go on +and kill a man at his house. And the great joy that I spoke of was thus: +of the five who had killed an enemy but only four of them could take the +glory, but their names would be praised throughout the whole Indian +nation; they would be glorified and considered as chiefs. But most of +all, he who first killed the enemy he would be the chief. And then when +they had returned home even the women would rejoice greatly. They would +dance night and day, all of them. And as I, myself, was chief, I +considered this the very greatest joy. Such were our customs. + +But now from the place I now occupy, I look back and remember these +things. And though the Indian people had all of these customs, I know +not one of them that made the people prosper or brought life to them. I +have not seen that brought life to the people. And thus from where I am +now, I am always looking to the future. On this account I am looking +forward. The Indians have been told the words of the Grandfather, (the +President). And they tell us that by these words the people will +prosper. + +"Plant; by that you shall live," the Grandfather told them. And now I +know a little that the Grandfather spoke the truth. The Grandfather +gives me food for six days, but even though I eat a very little each +day, in three days I have eaten it all up. But now I have raised corn +and though I abide here eating nothing else, by it I live. And also to +go from my place to where the Grandfather gives me rations takes one +week to go and the same to come back and I stay over a few days to rest +when there, and so it altogether covers over three weeks or more. +Therefore, though I have settled here and desire to busy myself in all +the white man's ways that I am able, I have not yet become independent. +And therefore, I earnestly wish, if it were possible, that the +Grandfather would enable us to receive a year's rations at a time, and +then we would make speedy progress in the white man's way. + +And because of this also, the children do not advance much in their +learning. For when we go after the food they also go along. If they +should stay behind, food is scarce, therefore they go along. + +And now I hear it said that schooling in the Dakota language is to be +altogether stopped, and on this account I am sad. For in the +school-house here they learn well and also they pray. It is because they +do these things in the Dakota language that we have been brought to +understand them and to love them, and gladly live in accordance with +them. Then also if it was all done (the teaching and praying) by a white +man we would understand nothing about it, and so I do not think it would +be well. + +And now this is the last thing I want to say. The Grandfather has for +his own the Indians all over the land, and he always helps them +according to what may be for their welfare. Now he is measuring off the +land for them, but I hear it said that he measures it very, very small, +and I am sad about that. If only he would have mercy and measure it off +for them largely, that is what I think. A good while ago the Grandfather +made a treaty with the Indians and promised to give them three hundred +and twenty acres, and according to that I have chosen my homestead and +that suits me. Therefore I prize the Grandfather's word and measure +myself by it. And thus I possess myself and my children. + +Although we are not many people here, yet I always command them to give +heed to the words of the Grandfather. And I bear witness to their +constant attendance at the house (the school and church) that stands +here. Although I am wholly an Indian, yet these are my judgments and so +I tell them. And I write them in order that some may think about the +Indians. My friends, I wish you to hear these words and so I write them. +I shake hands with a good heart. + +LOAFER REDHORSE. + +Burrell Station, Rosebud Agency, D.T. + + * * * * * + + + + +BUREAU OF WOMAN'S WORK. + +MISS D.E.

Cyrus Richardson, +Nashua, N.H. + +A teacher in the South writes:--"We have had a Merry Christmas trying to +make others happy. The people have never done so much for others before. +We found an old couple in very destitute circumstances, and asked the +school children if they would not like to do something for them. It was +very interesting to see them bring their gifts of a little sugar, meal, +flour, or an armful of wood, a potato, a little salt, whatever they +could get. It did them good. After our Christmas exercises at the +church, we took quite a number of the children around to see the old +people, and they sang their Christmas songs. I don't know which enjoyed +it most, the children or the old people. + +Some young men of the Sunday-school paid a month's rent for a poor +woman. We are doing more than ever this year in getting the young people +to go and hold prayer meetings, or read to those who cannot get out to +church." + + * * * * * + + + + +FOR THE CHILDREN. + +HOW SUSY WENT TO TOUGALOO. + +You never could guess just how she went, if you should try from now +until your next birthday, so I'll tell you first how she came to go to +Tougaloo at all. + +To begin with, Mamma Bradley had been rummaging about in the attic a +long time, when little Fay set out to find her. + +"What are you doing up here, mamma?" said Fay. "I've been hunting for +you ever so long." + +"Oh, I'm looking for some things to put in the barrel that is going to +Tougaloo for the poor people that the missionaries are working for." + +"Clothes?" said Fay. + +"Yes, clothes, and I suppose they would be glad of almost anything that +would help to make their lives more comfortable," said her mother. + +Fay sat down in an old basket and watched her mother fold and unfold the +contents of trunks and boxes so quietly, that Mrs. Bradley finally +looked up and said: + +"Why don't you go to your play, dear? What are you thinking about?" + +"I was thinking," said Fay, "do you s'pose the Tougaloo folks have any +little girls?" + +"Oh, yes, plenty of them." + +"Big's me?" + +"Yes, all sizes, I suppose," said Mrs. Bradley, going on with her work. + +"Well," said Fay, "I was thinking, how d'you s'pose they'd like Susy?" + +"What! the new dolly that Auntie gave you for keeping your elbows off +the table?" + +"Yes'm," said Fay. "Do you s'pose she'd make a little Tougaloo girl's +life any more comfor'ble?" + +"Why, yes, dear, anything that gives you so much pleasure would please +them, of course," said her mother, "but are you quite sure you want to +give Susy away?" + +"Well, when Auntie gave us our missionary boxes in the Sunday-school +class, she told us to be sure and remember what was printed on them, and +she read on one side something about people giving their first fruits, +and she said it meant their best things, and on top it said, 'Inasmuch +as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, ye have done it unto +me.' Now Susy is my best doll--any way I love her best, and there +couldn't be anybody much leaster than a little girl like me way down in +Tougaloo, could there, mamma?" + +"Well, you must think it all over, and if you are quite sure that you +want to do it, we will take Susy down to the church this afternoon with +the other things," said her mother. + +Fay said no more, and in a few minutes she tripped down stairs, and when +her mamma followed soon after, she heard the creak of Fay's little +rocking chair, and the words, "Sleep, baby, sleep," which told her as +she peeped through a crack in the door, that Susy was getting her last +lullaby from the fond little mother, who at the proper time presented +Susy all dressed for her journey to Tougaloo. + +"When Fay and her mother arrived at the church, sure enough right there +in the parlor stood two or three barrels, while dear old Mrs. Rogers and +half a dozen other ladies were filling them with useful articles. + +"Here is a package of clothing," said Mrs. Bradley, " and I have another +bundle, which Dennis will bring from the carriage in a few minutes." + +"And Susy's going to Tougaloo," said Fay, reaching out her treasure to +Grandma Rogers as she spoke. + +"Well now, the dear," said Grandma Rogers, "don't you want her yourself, +blossom?" + +"No'm, not now," said Fay, "if you'll find a little girl who'll take +real good care of her--her name's 'Susy.'" + +"Well, did you ever!" said Grandma Rogers. " Here's jest the place for +Susy, she can set right here in Miss Blout's bunnit as snug as a bug." + +"Wait a minute, Mrs. Rogers," said Miss Bliss, and taking a pencil she +wrote on a little slip of paper, "My name is Susy, and I should like to +go to some little girl who will take good care of me." This she read and +pinned the slip on Susy's pretty dress when she was safely seated in +"Miss Blout's bunnit," in which odd carriage, made of roses and ribbons, +Susy started on her long journey to Tougaloo. Her little mother, Fay, +would like some day to get a letter from Susy's new mother, though she +has not yet heard from her. + +FROM N.Y.

"Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be +used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who +agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few +things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works +even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See +paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project +Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement +and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. See paragraph 1.E below. + +1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation" +or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project +Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Nearly all the individual works in the +collection are in the public domain in the United States. If an +individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are +located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from +copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative +works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg +are removed. Of course, we hope that you will support the Project +Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by +freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of +this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with +the work. You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by +keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project +Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others. + +1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern +what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in +a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States, check +the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement +before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or +creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project +Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no representations concerning +the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United +States. + +1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg: + +1.E.1.

You may copy it, give it away or +re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included +with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org + +1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived +from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is +posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied +and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees +or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work +with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the +work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1 +through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the +Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or +1.E.9. + +1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted +with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution +must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional +terms imposed by the copyright holder.

Contact the +Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below. + +1.F. + +1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable +effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread +public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm +collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain +"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or +corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual +property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a +computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by +your equipment. + +1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right +of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project +Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project +Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all +liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal +fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT +LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE +PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE +TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE +LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR +INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH +DAMAGE. + +1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a +defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can +receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a +written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you +received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with +your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with +the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a +refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity +providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to +receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy +is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further +opportunities to fix the problem. + +1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth +in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO OTHER +WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO +WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE. + +1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied +warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. +If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the +law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be +interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by +the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any +provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions. + +1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the +trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone +providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance +with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production, +promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works, +harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees, +that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do +or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm +work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any +Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause. + + +Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +https://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent +permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. + +The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S. +Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered +throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at +809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email +business@pglaf.org. Email contact links and up to date contact +information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official +page at https://pglaf.org + +For additional contact information: + Dr. Gregory B. Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's +eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII, +compressed (zipped), HTML and others. + +Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over +the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed. +VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving +new filenames and etext numbers. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + +EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000, +are filed in directories based on their release date. If you want to +download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular +search system you may utilize the following addresses and just +download by the etext year. For example: + + https://www.gutenberg.org/etext06 + + (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99, + 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90) + +EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are +filed in a different way. The year of a release date is no longer part +of the directory path. The path is based on the etext number (which is +identical to the filename). The path to the file is made up of single +digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename. For +example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at: + + https://www.gutenberg.org/1/0/2/3/10234 + +or filename 24689 would be found at: + https://www.gutenberg.org/2/4/6/8/24689 + +An alternative method of locating eBooks: + https://www.gutenberg.org/GUTINDEX.ALL + + diff --git a/old/11763.zip b/old/11763.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..f1974b5 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/11763.zip |
