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.

Thrall, Amour, Dak. + +Miss Bertha Robertson, missionary of the A.M.A. from McIntosh, Ga., will +spend a few months in presenting our work in the North. She has just +completed a missionary tour in Maine, which has been most fruitful of +good, and will now give a few weeks to the churches of New Hampshire, +speaking to meetings of ladies, or to mixed audiences, as may be +desired. Applications for her services can be made to Miss Emerson, of +the Woman's Bureau, 56 Reade St., New York, or to Rev. 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.
