Clark, who passed away in November last, has removed from + the list of the early and efficient workers of the A.M.A. in the South, one who + deserved the warmest regards for his fidelity, his excellent services and his + self-sacrificing spirit. Mr. Clark began his work for the Association in 1868, as a + teacher, in Bainbridge, Ga., and was subsequently at Thomasville and Atlanta.

The black race doubles itself in twenty years; + and it is supposed that there are now about 8,000,000 Negro people. Of these, + 3,000,000 may have learned to read and write; there must be 5,000,000 still in + illiterate and superstitious darkness. That they are still trying hard to learn, will + be accentuated by the perusal of a specimen of letters to us from locations less + favored than others:</p> + <blockquote> + <p>"Sir Deare Bretterin I will Rite you A few lines to let you no our condison, we + has had greatiel sickness her for the last few month. But we hant had no Deth in + the time of it, and we wont to no somthing A Bout our School her at + ——— for ef we can geet the teacher we can have a good School now, + for the is good many pepel wating on us, now. we wode Be hapa to her from you all + and then we Can tell the Pepel what to Penon, and ef you Plese Rite to us A Bout + the Deed that we sent to you for we hant never hern from it yeat unly By Rev. + ——— and i woude Be glad to her from you A Bout it</p> + <p class="author">so Rite soon yours truly in Crist"</p> + </blockquote> + <hr /> + <p>The American Missionary Association, which is the authorized and recognized + servant of the Congregational Churches, reporting to them from the fields to which it + is sent in their name, not unfrequently meets the fact that schools and churches in + the South are appealing for support to those who hold us responsible for mission work + in the South. Thus many in the North from time to time, are contributing to schools + or perhaps to churches there, under the impression that they are thus taking the + shortest path to the work which appeals to them.</p> + <p>There are many schools, of one kind and another, which have been started at the + South by private parties on a purely independent basis. Many of these are carried on + for a little time and then are permitted to die out for one reason and another; and + many of them are working not only with a great lack of efficiency in comparison with + the A.M.A. schools, but without supervision and without scrutiny. Some are located + where it has pleased those who located them to reside, without much reference to + relative necessities; and some are located so unwisely that the Association has been + compelled to decline to take them, when through fatigue or failure they have been + given up. Some of them owe their existence to the fact that certain workers were + found to be not adapted to the work, or were uncomfortable under supervision and + superintendence. Some of them are conducted by those who have signally failed in our + schools. Their projectors are often skillful in letter-writing and in solicitation of + funds for their specific enterprises, which being purely personal, have no large and + ultimate achievement. Those who give cannot know <span class="pagenum"><a + name="page60" id="page60"></a>[pg 60]</span> whether the donations are most wisely + used, nor is there any satisfactory method by which contributions can be traced.</p> + <p>The Association, with its Superintendent continually in the field, reporting every + fact to the Secretaries at the office, who in turn report to the churches, is + certainly much better prepared to direct the gifts of the benevolent in ways that + shall not be unwise or irresponsible. As these circulars and letters of appeal are + often referred by those who receive them to the Secretaries, it is but their duty to + say that all funds diverted from our treasury to schools or churches in the South, + under no watch and care, would without doubt go further and help the great work more + to which the A.M.A. is consecrated, if they should be sent through the channel which + the churches have ordained, and which has not only this justification for its + existence and work, but also the justification of long experience and success.</p> + <p>If the friends of the American Missionary Association, upon receiving appeals from + colored pastors or people in the South, or from independent schools, would remember + <i>that their own ordained agency</i> can open and supervise as many schools and + churches as they will make possible with their contributions, no doubt less money + would be diverted and far greater efficiency secured. Schools in the North without + supervision or superintendence, are usually inferior. Much more are these + irresponsible, unadvised and independent schools in the South.</p> + <hr /> + <a name="editorial4" id="editorial4"></a> + <h4>SHALL CHRIST OR MOHAMMED WIN AFRICA?</h4> + <p>Ultimately Christ will, as we know by the sure word of prophecy; immediately, + Mohammed gains most rapidly, as present facts seem to indicate. The rapid strides of + Mohammedanism in Africa have been noticed by nearly all recent explorers and + travelers, but the full statement of the fact has been brought forth more vividly in + a remarkable book written by a remarkable man. The book is entitled, + "<i>Christianity, Islam and the Negro Race</i>." The author is Edward W. Blyden, + LL.D., of whom it is said by a competent witness—and our own personal + acquaintance with him confirms the testimony, so far as we are competent to + judge—that he is a great traveler and an accomplished linguist, equally + familiar with Hebrew and Arabic, with Greek and Latin, with five European and with + several African languages, and, had he been born a European, might fill and adorn + almost any public post. Dr. Blyden was born a full-blooded Negro in the Danish Island + of St. Thomas, emigrated in his seventeenth year to Liberia, entered an American + missionary school and rose to the head of it, became in 1862 Professor in the College + of Liberia, and, two years later, Secretary of State in the African Republic. In + 1877, he represented Liberia at the Court of St. James, as Minister Plenipotentiary, + and has been abundantly decorated with honorary degrees.</p> + <span class="pagenum"><a name="page61" id="page61"></a>[pg 61]</span> + <p>Dr. Blyden's opportunities for knowing the facts are unquestioned, and his book + presents in very striking array the advantages which in some respects Islam enjoys + over Christianity in the propagation of its faith in Africa. The discussion has been + continued by Canon Taylor of York, England, and, more recently, in a very clear + article in the <i>Nineteenth Century</i>, by Dean R. Bosworth Smith. Our space does + not permit us either to summarize the facts as to this progress, nor can we present + all the reasons for it. But one of these reasons touches so nearly a point that is of + such vital interest to American Christians, that we feel called upon to state it and + emphasize it. We abridge the full statement thus: Christianity has labored under the + great disadvantage of coming to the Negro in "a foreign garb." Its teachers came from + a land that first reached the Negro by capturing him as a slave; they came to him + with the conscious or unconscious air of superiority born of race-prejudice. + Christianity came to him as the creed, not of his friends, his well-wishers, his + kindred, but of his masters and oppressors. They differed from him in education, in + manners, in color, in civilization. Mohammedanism, on the other hand, reached the + Negro in his own country, in the midst of his own surroundings. When it had + acclimatized itself and taken root in the soil of Africa, it was handed on to others, + and then no longer exclusively by Arab missionaries, but by men of the Negro's own + race, his own proclivities, his own color. The advantages of this method of approach + cannot be over-estimated. We care not to enter at all into the question of the value + of the two religions nor of the good they may respectively do for poor Africa. We + wish simply to deal with the methods and means, and with the peoples who may best + employ them. We again summarize the language of Dean Smith: The very fact that there + are millions of Negroes in America and the West India Islands, many of whom are men + of cultivation and lead more or less Christian lives, is proof positive that + Christianity is welcomed by them. Is there not room to hope that many of these men, + returning to their own country, may be able to present Christianity to their + fellow-countrymen in a shape in which it has never yet been presented,—in which + it would be very difficult for Europeans or Americans ever to succeed in presenting + it—to them, and may so develop a type of Christianity and civilization combined + which shall be neither American nor European, but African, redolent alike of the + people and of the soil?</p> + <p>This is a point which the American Missionary Association has frequently urged, + and which it had begun to exemplify by sending colored missionaries to Western + Africa. The experiment was in many respects satisfactory, but we realized that a + longer training and a more thorough maturing of character were needed in those who + had just emerged from the darkness and limitations of slavery. But what greater hope + can there be for Africa than in the training of these millions, so apt in learning, + so <span class="pagenum"><a name="page62" id="page62"></a>[pg 62]</span> earnestly + religious, and so well qualified to meet as brothers and friends their kindred in the + Dark Continent! Here is a work for American Christians, full of promise of a glorious + harvest.</p> + <hr class="full" /> + <a name="editorial5" id="editorial5"></a> + <h4>THE VERNACULAR IN INDIAN SCHOOLS.</h4> + <p>After some considerable delay, Commissioner Atkins has issued revised Regulations + in regard to the teaching of Indian languages in schools. That our readers may have + them in distinct form we append them:</p> + <blockquote> + <p>"1. No text books in the vernacular will be allowed in any school where children + are placed under contract, or where the Government contributes, in any manner + whatever, to the support of the school; no oral instruction in the vernacular will + be allowed at such schools. The entire curriculum must be in the English + language.</p> + <p>"2. The vernacular may be used in missionary schools only for oral instruction + in morals and religion, where it is deemed to be an auxiliary to the English + language in conveying such instruction.</p> + <p>"3. No person other than a native Indian teacher will be permitted to teach in + any Indian vernacular, and these native teachers will only be allowed in schools + not supported in whole or in part by the Government, at remote points, where there + are no Government or contract schools where the English language is taught. These + schools under native teachers only, are allowed to teach in the vernacular with a + view of reaching those Indians who cannot have the advantages of instruction in + English, and they must give way to the English-teaching schools as soon as they are + established where the Indians can have access to them."</p> + </blockquote> + <p>In response to a special application for authority to instruct a class of + theological students in the vernacular, at the Santee School, the Commissioner + says:</p> + <blockquote> + <p>"There is no objection to your educating a limited number of Indians in the + vernacular, as missionaries, in some separate building, entirely apart from the + Santee School. This instruction in the vernacular must be conducted entirely + separate from the English course, and must not interfere with English studies or be + considered part of the ordinary course for any other pupils of the school than the + limited number agreed upon, not to exceed thirty, and all instruction in the + vernacular must be conducted at no expense to the Government."</p> + </blockquote> + <p>Since writing the above, we have received from Commissioner Atkins a copy of rules + designed to explain the orders quoted above. We are constrained to say that these + explanations will probably not remove the objections that have been widely + entertained against the rulings of the Department. It must be admitted, however, that + there are difficulties in the way of formulating regulations that in their details + shall meet the views of all parties concerned. On the one hand, there is the aim of + Commissioner Atkins, in which we all coincide, to introduce the English language + among the Indians as speedily as possible. On the other hand, there is the aim of the + churches, in which we are glad to believe the Commissioner coincides, to spread the + gospel as rapidly as possible among the Indians. The churches feel that it is a duty + they owe to God and to those Indians who <span class="pagenum"><a name="page63" + id="page63"></a>[pg 63]</span> cannot understand English to teach them in the + language in which they were born, and they believe, too, as the result of long + experience, that Christian schools in the vernacular are among the most important + means to that end, especially as pioneer movements. American Christians believe, too, + that they have the right as American citizens to use their own methods—tested + by experience—without the interference of the Government; and we believe they + will feel constrained to protest in every legitimate and honorable way against such + interference. We hope that the Department of the Interior will yet make the needful + concessions.</p> + <hr class="full" /> + <a name="south1" id="south1"></a> + <h3>THE SOUTH.</h3> + <p>Rev. Dr. A.G. Haygood, the author of <i>Our Brother in Black</i>, and the general + administrator of the John F. Slater fund, was in Macon a few days ago, visiting + officially Lewis Normal Institute, which he pronounced an admirable school. The + doctor made a thorough inspection of the school, and expressed himself as greatly + pleased with its present management under Mrs. L.A. Shaw. He remarked that the + improvement within the last two years is very noticeable in all departments, that the + teaching is very thoroughly done and the industrial training systematically and + efficiently carried on. Dr. Haygood preached, Sunday morning, at the Congregational + Church to the edification of all who heard him.</p> + <hr /> + <p>The governor of Mississippi in his recent message commends our Institution at + Tougaloo in the following generous terms:</p> + <blockquote> + <p>"The information derived from the President and Board of Visitors of <i>Tougaloo + University</i> is of the most satisfactory character. During the year, additional + school and industrial buildings have been erected, thus making all the appointments + of the Institution excellent and commodious. The University is indebted to a + generous-hearted gentleman of New York, Stephen Ballard, Esq., for the funds + necessary for these buildings. The labor of erecting them was performed by the + students under the direction of the Superintendent of Industries, thus economizing + cost of labor, and at the same time demonstrating the valuable training of the + students. The timely and generous donation of Mr. Ballard serves to carry on under + the same roof, blacksmithing, wagon-making, painting, tinning and carpentry.</p> + <p>"This University not only endeavors to encourage and conduct intelligently farm + work of every description, but to teach and thoroughly instruct the boys in the + several industries mentioned, as well as in the use of the steam-engine, saw, etc. + The girls, in addition to the studies prescribed, are taught practical household + duties in all their details. During the year <span class="pagenum"><a name="page64" + id="page64"></a>[pg 64]</span> Rev. G.S. Pope, who has been President of the + University for a decade, and who labored faithfully to advance its interests, was + transferred to another field of labor. His place is filled by Frank G. Woodworth, + who assumes the Presidency of the Institution and who will earnestly strive to + advance its interests and sustain its already excellent reputation. This + University, by its successful management, commends itself to your favorable + consideration."</p> + </blockquote> + <hr /> + <a name="south2" id="south2"></a> + <p>The most important gathering of negroes that probably has ever occurred, was in + Macon, Ga., a few weeks since. Five hundred leading Negro representatives convened to + discuss and adopt "a thorough plan of State organization." A permanent organization + was effected and named the "<i>United Brotherhood of Georgia</i>," the purpose of + which is "to resist oppression, wrong and injustice." We note the following + resolutions, which were passed by the convention:</p> + <blockquote> + <p><i>Resolved</i>, That we, in convention assembled, respectfully but earnestly + demand of the powers that be, that the Negro be given what, and only what, he is + entitled to.</p> + <p><i>Resolved further</i>, That never, until we are in the fullest enjoyment of + our rights at the ballot-box, will we cease to agitate and work for what justly + belongs to us in the shape of suffrage.</p> + <p><i>Further resolved</i>, That it shall be the policy of the colored race to vote + so as to bring the greatest division to the white voters of this country, for in + this we believe lies the boon of our desire.</p> + </blockquote> + <p>The last resolution is not entirely plain to us, and we refrain from comment upon + it, but the convention itself, the fact of leadership taking shape among the Negroes, + and the forth-putting of their purposes, are very significant.</p> + <p>When the Glenn Bill was born, and when the Georgia House of Representatives stood + sponsor for its baptism, we believed that the enemy of righteousness had made a + mistake, and that this particular piece of artillery would kick. They who think to + thwart the providences of God usually help them forward. Christianity has had many a + help from its opposers.</p> + <p>Upon the incidental question of temperance, the sentiments of the convention were + voiced by one of the speakers in these words: "The best thing for the Negro is + industry, temperance, virtue, economy, union and courage. Get land, get money, get + education; be sober and be virtuous. We have drunk enough whiskey since the war to + build a railroad from Atlanta to Savannah. The Negro race cannot be great except as + individuals rise towards greatness." They are rising.

FORREST F. EMERSON.</p> + <p>The report of the Executive Committee on educational work in the South, confirms + the conviction which must have impressed itself on many minds, that the Association + is a divinely-appointed agency for carrying forward a work delegated to us as a + <i>nation</i>. God calls nations as he calls men, and consecrates them to a special + work. Rome had a call, and fulfilled it, under the Divine Providence, and that call + was to work out the idea, and demonstrate the necessity, of government, and to + cultivate in the minds of men everywhere regard for the authority of law; Greece had + her mission, and it was to teach the value of individual culture, both physical and + intellectual; the people of Israel had their call to teach the doctrine of God, of + his moral government, and of the eternal nature of moral law; <span + class="pagenum"><a name="page66" id="page66"></a>[pg 66]</span> and this Christian + nation has its divine call, and that call arises from the peculiar relation which it + sustains to the other races and nations of the earth.</p> + <p>For a long time it seemed as if this land was to be given exclusively to the + English race. The Dutch who settled here were assimilated and absorbed; the Spaniards + and Portuguese found a congenial clime in South America; the French, by the progress + of events, were prevented from gaining a foothold in New England, and with the sale + of so-called "Louisiana"—an immense area extending from the Gulf to British + America,—France relinquished her last claim to ownership of any part of our + domain. The period of history, from the landing at Jamestown and Plymouth to the war + of 1812, and later, was the unfolding of events which pointed to the supremacy of the + English in North America. Our religion was Protestant and English; our literature + took root in English forms of thought; our free institutions were the outcome of + principles which had been, and now are, influential in English politics; our common + law was English, our traditions of liberty were English, and that union of liberty + and law which makes us strong, we inherited from our English fathers. So that in + 1820, two hundred years after the arrival of the Mayflower, we were essentially an + English nation; old England broken away from old forms and precedents, the natural + expansion of England under new forms of government and society.</p> + <p>Now it would have been pleasant, to human ways of thinking, if we could have + remained always thus homogeneous. But God had a work for us to do. We were not left + to sit down amidst the vast resources which the land affords for material prosperity, + and just watch and foster our own growing and expanding life, but God gave us four + problems to solve. These four problems came to us from the four quarters of the + globe, the Indian of America on the North, the Chinaman of Asia on the West, the + descendant of Africa on the South, and the emigrant of Europe on the East, who + poured, in great masses, through our Eastern gates, the German unbeliever, the Irish + Catholic, the Mormon convert, and representatives of every race of Europe.</p> + <p>The English race, which still represents the heart and brain of the nation, + confronts these four problems. The problem on the North and South we brought on + ourselves, as results on the one hand of our neglect and injustice, and on the other + of our cupidity and cruelty. The troubles that come to us through our Eastern and + Western ports, are drawn to us by the attractive influence of our free institutions + and our material prosperity.</p> + <p>What are we to do with these alien elements? Do as Rome did. When Rome heard of a + hostile nation on her borders, she conquered it, attached it to the Empire, and made + it a new pillar of imperial power. So are we to conquer every element of darkness and + attach it to the kingdom of light, making it an element of strength in our American + civilization and <span class="pagenum"><a name="page67" id="page67"></a>[pg + 67]</span> our American Christianity. The difference in the method is the difference + between paganism and Christianity, for while Rome conquered with a sword of steel, we + conquer with the sword of the Spirit. We conquer by giving gifts unto men, the four + gifts of law, land, letters and religion. We have given law to the African and the + European with citizenship and the ballot; we have given land to the African and the + European, and, thanks to Christian statesmanship, we will soon give it to the Indian + in severalty; and to all will we give letters and religion.</p> + <p>It is the peculiar glory of this Association that it deals more directly than any + other agency with the gravest and most urgent of these problems, the education of the + colored race, so that while the Government gives the Negro citizenship, and permits + him to own land, this society undertakes the work of fitting him for the ownership of + land and for the responsibility of citizenship. And it is doing this in the genuine + way, through the gospel of Christ, and education as the handmaid and helper of the + gospel—that helper without which Christianity would be falsely conceived, and + erroneously applied, and without which a failure would result in the ethical training + of the colored race. The Association, by its educational work, is thus fulfilling the + divine purpose in the call made to us as a Christian nation.</p> + <p>The report of the committee also suggests the heroic element in our work. It + brings to mind the obstacles and difficulties which we are called upon to overcome. + The illiteracy of the colored people is a fact immense in extent and dark in its + prophetic significance. Your hearts were rejoiced, I know, by the statements of the + changes going on in the education of the colored children in several States through + free schools. The need of this movement will be appreciated when we remember the + figures which bring before us the present illiterate condition of the people. I + present the outline of a report made in January, 1885, based on reports of Albion + Tourgee, and on articles in the <i>North American Review</i>. According to that + report, seventy-three per cent. of the colored population of the South cannot read + and write. In the eight Gulf and Atlantic States, seventy-eight per cent. are in the + same condition. Over two millions of colored people in these eight States cannot read + and write. But this is not all. We must take into account the rapid increase of the + negroes. In three States of the South they already outnumber the whites. In eight + States, they are about one-half the population. In all the Southern States they + increase faster than the white population. From 1870 to 1880, in the eight States + mentioned above, they increased thirty-four per cent., the whites only twenty-seven + per cent. The immigration of foreign-born whites will not change the proportionate + difference of increase, as the foreign-born white population has decreased 30,000 + since the war, and the immigration of northern-born whites amounts to only a fraction + of one per cent. According to the present <span class="pagenum"><a name="page68" + id="page68"></a>[pg 68]</span> rate of increase, the colored race in one hundred + years from now will have a population many millions in excess of the whites, since, + while it will take thirty-five years for the white race to double its numbers, the + blacks will do so every twenty years. In less than twenty-five years from this date, + the colored race in the South will outnumber the whites in nearly all the States, and + then the world will witness a conflict of races, the aspiration of the negro against + the caste-prejudice of the white, the end and result of which no man can foresee.</p> + <p>These facts all point to the greatness of the work undertaken by this Association. + Christian education is the only education for a race having before it such a future. + The illiteracy which we deplore must be overcome, but something more than that; that + change must be provided for, when the Negro in large numbers will pass from the quiet + and peaceful pursuits of agriculture to be massed together in mine and factory and + the work of the mechanic arts, but something more than that; intelligence for the + burden of citizenship must be given, but something more than that; incentives to the + accumulation of property and the building of homes for themselves and their families + must be encouraged, but something more than that must be done. If we were simply + patriots, we would educate these people; if we were only philanthropists, or wise + statesmen, or political economists, we would still feel bound to educate them. But we + are more than these, we are Christians, and so there is one other thing we must do + besides these I have mentioned, something which includes all these and so is greater + than they all—and that thing is to make them Christian. Education is a part of + the means to be used, and not the total end and aim.</p> + <p>For what is education? Not the mere accumulation of knowledge, nor the mere + training of the powers of the mind, but the building of manhood. You have tempered + your Damascus blade, but who is going to hold it—the patriot, or the rebel? You + have your educated man with his printing press, but what is he going to + print—the Police Gazette or the Gospel of St. John? You have built your college + and found your young man, and trained him up to the very highest point of mental + excellence and power, but what is he going to do with his mind? The mind is only an + instrument under the direction of the man. The great thing is the ethical man who is + going to use this mind. If there is any thing the American people need to learn, it + is that there is one thing greater than talent, and that is character—the love + and regard for righteousness.</p> + <p>It is here that this Association does its work in the genuine way, regarding + education as necessary for the colored race and for all races, not as an end in + itself, but as an instrument in the hands of a man ethically and Christianly trained. + The gospel must go with the school, so that we may train not only the hand and the + brain, but also the conscience and the heart. When I think of the future of the Negro + race in America, of the possibilities of that race already being revealed, of the + immense political <span class="pagenum"><a name="page69" id="page69"></a>[pg + 69]</span> significance of its position to-day, of the certain increase of its + numbers, of the inevitable collision of races by and by, unless there be a change in + the spirit of the whites, I feel that no education is to be trusted but Christian + education, an education based on the gospel of Christ.</p> + <p>And to what purpose can any of us, with better hope of success, devote our time, + our money, our labor? Let us have more money for this work. I would say no word to + depreciate foreign missions, but is not this after all the work of foreign missions? + How will you influence the future of China, or of Japan, or of Africa, or of Europe, + in more direct, sympathetic, permanent ways, than by giving the gospel, and the + education that goes with the gospel, to those at our very doors from all these lands, + who shall carry back, and send back, to their own native countries the same gospel + they have learned in this?</p> + <hr /> + <a name="south5" id="south5"></a> + <h4>TO THE MEMORY OF DR.

The snow was about two + feet deep and light. Last night the wind began to blow, and to-day it is blowing a + gale and the snow flies like powdered glass. Neither man nor beast can endure it. I + cannot see my stable, which is within a stone's-throw of the house. I have wood and + water enough in the house to last two or three days; so I shall not suffer + personally, and I will spend the time of imprisonment in writing, if I can, between + making fires. The snow sifts through my door and window until I have a regular + snowbank all along the inside of the house. Though I am warm right by the <span + class="pagenum"><a name="page70" id="page70"></a>[pg 70]</span> stove, yet I cannot + get the room warm enough to melt the snow. Last winter and this are the hardest I + have ever seen in the Territory.</p> + <p>So dear Dr. Powell has gone home! No one should feel sorry for him. How grand and + glorious thus to be called home to God! I do not think the work here will suffer + because he has gone from our sight. He is only promoted. God will no doubt let him + work on in heaven; only gone from the ills that the flesh is heir to. Dead? Oh no! he + is not dead. He is living evermore. May we all be as ready as was he for the final + call!</p> + <p>On the same day that he died, we trust that there passed through the gates with + him one of our Indian boys, whose cause Dr. Powell had so eloquently pleaded. Harry + Little-Eagle died like a hero. No one ever suffered more for four months than he, and + not once did his faith fail. He prayed and sang, and talked for Jesus as long as his + strength held out. The night before he died his voice returned, and he said: "God + gave it back to me and told me to talk to the people." He did. He said: "I am going + home, God will give me a greater work there to do. Do not cry. You must keep a stout + heart and give my message to all the people." Then he prayed, "O Father, keep a big + work for me. I have not lived here long. I have only known thee a short time, and I + have been a great sufferer. I have done nothing for thee. Keep some work up there for + me. I want to help you." Then he said: "Tell Winona to be brave; tell her to have a + strong will; tell her to seek out the lost; some will believe and be saved. Tell her + to continue to work for the people." I asked, "Are you afraid now, when you are so + near the water?" "No," he replied, "I am in a hurry to go home." To his father he + said: "God will send you a comforter. I will help prepare a home for you, and my + mother and sister and brother. I shall wait for you."</p> + <p>His father, Little-Eagle, seems inspired. New Year's Day he stood up before some + Teton Indians and said: "I am one of you. You all know me. You all see me. You see + the same body that has been on the war-path with you many times; the same body that + has been rigged out in paint and feathers and rattlers, and has danced with you in + the dance. The body is the same, but that is all. The part of me that your eyes + cannot see is not the same. I am not the same. I think differently; I feel + differently; I plan differently. I like different things; I am a new man. My heart is + made clean in Christ. When I first tried to follow Christ, I was satisfied. I tried + to do right and I thought God would own me. When my boy died he said: 'Tell the + people that God has said, "Thou shalt have no God but me. Thou shalt not kill. Thou + shalt not steal. Thou shalt not commit adultery. Remember the Sabbath to keep it + holy."' Then my heart was heavy. All day and night I sat mute. I said: 'I have done + all these things and my boy never did any of them. He will be saved and I shall be + lost.' I went to Winona and told her. She told me: 'My friend, if we never had + sinned, Christ would not have died. Because <span class="pagenum"><a name="page71" + id="page71"></a>[pg 71]</span> you sinned and broke God's laws, Christ died for you. + His death makes you his.' Then light came. Yes, I am a sinner, just like the rest of + you. We have all done the same things. Now I stand here acquitted. Come to Christ. + Come to God. You seek after food for the body; that is all your thought. I sought + God, and when I sowed my seed in the spring, I prayed to God and attended to my soul, + and God has taken care of my body. I wished, and he made my field flourish when all + yours dried up in the sun. If you will seek God he will take care of your bodies. + Trust in the Lord. Put away heathen dances and plays. Be not like children; be men + and women and God will feed you."</p> + <p>These were his words. He spoke the truth, for he is the only Indian who had an + abundant crop.</p> + <p>Little Eagle cannot speak an English word. His son Harry who died could read + English a little. He learned at Santee. But his knowledge of the Bible, and his + Bible-reading to the people and his work for Christ, were in his own tongue. It was + the truth in his own tongue that saved Little Eagle. <i>Shall we not, then, teach the + children Christian truths in their own language?</i></p> + <hr class="full" /> + <a name="chinese" id="chinese"></a> + <h3>THE CHINESE.</h3> + <h4>A CHINESE CHRISTIAN IN CHINA.</h4> + <p>Chin Toy was a shoemaker until he accepted my invitation to become a Missionary + Helper. His education, in English and as a Christian, has been wholly in our humble + mission work. He is now engaged in evangelistic service. Having recently returned + from a visit to his native land, I asked him to give me an account of his experience + there. I give it below to the readers of the <i>Missionary</i>. W.C. POND.</p> + <p>DEAR PASTOR:—You asked me kindly to give you my experience during my visit + in China. I stayed home about ten months. I had a very hard time there at first, + because I have no Christian friends who live near enough to help me. The temptations + around me very great. My father and my uncle wanted me to help in their store: they + had sacrifice-paper and candles for the offering of idols for sale. This hurted my + feeling very much. I told them I was a Christian. I could not help in that business, + for I know it was against the law of the true God. They laughed at me and said I was + very foolish to believe such a doctrine. I found it very difficult to enlighten their + minds.</p> + <p>Two weeks after I got home was a birthday of my grandfather, who died many years + ago. My father set some sacrifices on the parlor table, before the ancestral tablet; + he wanted me to bow down and worship with him, but I refused. I told him while I + honored my grandfather a great deal, yet I could not worship him. The Christians only + worship the one true God. This made him very angry at me, he so angry that he did not + <span class="pagenum"><a name="page72" id="page72"></a>[pg 72]</span> take his + breakfast that morning. From this time on, my father was cross to me very often, he + called me a man without conscience. I did not mind about that, for I knew he loved me + in his heart. He had not learned what Christianity was. I tried to please him all I + could. When he scolded me I answered him softly. I prayed for him and for all my + relatives every day. I asked the Lord to send the Holy Spirit to them, that they + might prove what was good. Two or three months afterward, I found my father and + relatives changed a great deal. They seemed to like Christianity more than they + did.</p> + <p>Sometimes I showed them some things which they never saw before, such as + photograph album, Holy Bible, book of mission stories with many pictures in it. I + explained the pictures to them and they were all pleased. I also told them that these + good books were presented by my kind teachers. I gave the names of these faithful + workers of the Lord and said they were the best friends of the Chinese, the reason + was that they love Jesus. I then went on and told them about the true God, and his + blessed Son Jesus, who love the whole world. They all kept quiet and listen + attentively. Besides these, I show them my coal-oil stove, alarm clock, thermometer, + etc. These things greatly pleased them. I told them the wonderful arts, the + machineries, railways and the telegraphs. These news led them spoke out in a loud + voice, "The people in Christian land have more wisdom than our Chinese." I said, "God + gave this wisdom, our Chinese must love the true God and forsake the idols, then God + will send the Holy Spirit to make us wise and happy, and love to do good. The Bible + says, Trust the Lord and do good." After this, I found opportunity to preach the + gospel every day. Though I could not make them become Christians yet, I was glad they + shew so much interest in receiving the good seeds. Nearly every day, some people came + in our little store and asked me to tell them about this new doctrine. During March, + Rev. C.R. Hager paid us a visit. Our store was crowded with people. They all came to + see him. He preached to them. Several of the students had a long talk with him.</p> + <p>On the day of my marriage, my father did not compel me to worship the idols and + ancestors. I felt very thankful for the Lord's help in this matter. My mother used to + believe in all kinds of superstitions. If any one in the family was sick, she would + go to a sorcerer and ask for some charms to heal the sick one. I told her that this + kind of belief and doing were all wrong. I shew her how to pray the true God, and + taught her to say the Lord's prayer. One day my sister was sick in bed, and my mother + called me home to pray for her. I asked my mother whether she had been to the + sorcerer or not. She said she had not. I then opened the Bible and read the first + eleven verses from the fourth chapter of Matthew. I knelt and prayed, while my mother + and all the rest of the family kept silent. When I said the Lord's prayer at the + close, I asked them to follow <span class="pagenum"><a name="page73" + id="page73"></a>[pg 73]</span> me, but they were too bashful to comply. I am glad to + say that my sister's health was restored, and this greatly pleased my mother.</p> + <p>During the month of March, the Chinese worship their ancestors at their respective + graves. This kind of worship has two meanings, one is to repair and decorate the + graves, the other, to worship with sacrifice, consisting of already cooked chicken + and pork, and paper which represents money and clothing. My father and relatives, of + course, follow the same custom. I accompanied them to the graves, but I only helped + them in repairing the graves. Some of these relatives were school teachers. They + spoke scornfully at me for not worshiping. They said, "You cannot show honor to your + ancestors without kneeling before them." I then said to them, "Can you tell me the + origin of sacrifice? Who established it, and for what purpose?" This seemed to strike + them like lightning, for they all stood and had nothing to say. I then said, let me + give you the origin. I told them that after God created heaven and earth and all + things, he finally made a man and a woman, and placed them in Eden, the paradise, and + how they sinned against God's command by eating the forbidden fruit. This brought + death into the world. They were driven out of Paradise and had to work hard for a + livelihood, but God was so merciful that he promised that the seed of the woman shall + bruise the head of the serpent; that is, he would provide a Saviour, by which death + could be conquered. God told them that when they sinned again, they must offer + sacrifice and confess their sins, then God would forgive them. From that time on, the + people offer sacrifice. This sacrifice is a type of Jesus, who gave his life and died + on the cross for all who are willing to believe in him. So Jesus paid it all, and + after his crucifixion there is no more offering required. That is the reason why the + Christians do not offer sacrifice, and why I do not worship in this manner. For no + one deserves our worship but God alone. I only honor the ancestors with my heart. I + love them just as much as you do yourselves.</p> + <p>When they heard this explanation, they were greatly surprised. Then they spoke + among themselves by saying, "His doctrine is good; this is all news to us; our + Confucius books never tell us about the origin of sacrifice." This seemed to break + down their pride a great deal, and after this they shew great willingness to listen + to the Word of Life. Oh! how I long to have them learn of Jesus and become His + followers. I not only pray for them, but every one in our village. May the Lord bless + the seed sown in their hearts. Moreover, may He enlighten every soul in China. Yours + in Christ, CHIN TOY.</p> + <hr class="full" /> + <a name="bureau" id="bureau"></a> + <p>We are in need of clothing to be sent to our mission stations in the South. + Second-hand clothing will be of use if it is yet durable.

The story "How I Became A Golden Missionary," + tells how they did it. It is a clear case of evolution. If any of our young people do + not know what evolution is, they can learn how to start one by reading</p> + <h4>HOW I BECAME A GOLDEN MISSIONARY.</h4> + <p>My birthplace was in a very Superior region, as for millions of years I had dwelt + near Lake Superior. My superior quality almost defied the arts of man. I first became + conscious of existence when being liberated from my copper prison. I was, as I heard + men say, ninety per cent. pure copper. Up to this time I had never been disturbed, + but now sounded sharply the click of the hammer upon the cold chisel that rudely + separated me from all that had been most closely associated with me. I heard men say + that I was to be made over; and I was transported far away to a place where I was + exposed to fierce fires, and without suffering I was made to assume a liquid form. I + was then poured into a mold from which I came out, verily, a new creature. I was very + bright and beautiful, shining and glowing, as if still retaining in myself the fires + that had transformed me. I now discovered that I had a new name, for they called me + "One Cent," and gave me this motto, "In God we trust."</p> + <p>I heard it said that I was a tool to assist in civilization, and I soon found + myself aiding men in commercial transactions. I had manifold experiences and, like + most useful people, found that while age increased my usefulness it subdued my + glitter. At last, after many, many years, I fell into the hands of a Sabbath-school + Superintendent with a missionary spirit, and by him was distributed with many of my + companions to the children of his Sabbath-school, with the injunction to multiply. I + fell <span class="pagenum"><a name="page75" id="page75"></a>[pg 75]</span> into the + hands of a boy who undertook to help me in a business way which should tend to my + rapid increase. At the end of a fixed period I and my companions were to be returned + to the Superintendent with our respective gains; and then, after relating our + experiences, we were to be sent forth as missionaries to the Indians. Before this, my + aims had been simply to aid in commerce, with no definite plan before me, and like + all who have no fixed purpose, I drifted here and there and took no special interest + in the world. But now I was to become a missionary; I was not only to aid in + civilization but in advancing Christianity.</p> + <p>My new aim in life made me anxious concerning the boy who was to be my helper. I + took the deepest interest in all his plans in regard to me and listened attentively + when he bargained with his father for a fourth of a cent's worth of yarn and the use + of a needle with which to darn his father's socks. I thought that a boy of sixteen + who was willing to increase me by undertaking to darn his father's stockings, + deserved all the aid that I could give him. I looked on with interest and admiration, + while he, with earnest toil, completed his task. When the task was ended, I found + myself increased from one to three cents. This small beginning was in reality the + most important of all our transactions and demonstrated that we could work + harmoniously together.</p> + <p>While he went to the St. Lawrence for his vacation, he did not give me a vacation + nor wrap me in a napkin, but left me where I grew to four cents. Then we invested my + whole increase in hickory nuts, which transaction increased me to fifteen cents. I + here discovered that I had not only multiplied but had become of a more precious + metal. I was now silver. We now invested in peanuts and hickory nuts and I was + increased from fifteen to thirty cents. The community in which we lived manifested + such a fondness for peanuts that we again invested and I found myself increased to + seventy-five cents.</p> + <p>Coming in contact with one who mourned over sleepless nights, we undertook to add + to her comfort by making a hop pillow. Having invested in materials, and the boy + making the pillow himself upon the machine, we realized an increase of twenty-five + cents. Now to my great surprise and still greater delight, I found that I had again + been transformed into a more precious metal. I was now gold. As I could attain no + higher degree in precious metals, it was decreed that in this form I should go forth + on my career as a missionary.</p> + <p>Good-bye to you, Lottie, and Rose, and Marion, and John, and Carl, and Waldo. Our + association has been very pleasant together, and I hope that in taking leave of you I + am not to pass altogether from your knowledge. I should desire that this history of + my growth and increase may accompany me, that in time to come I may be able to report + to you of the good that through me you have been able to accomplish. Once more + good-bye.</p> + <p class="author">YOUR HAPPY MISSIONARY GOLD DOLLAR.</p> + <span class="pagenum"><a name="page76" id="page76"></a>[pg 76]</span> + <hr class="full" /> + <a name="children" id="children"></a> + <h3>CHILDREN'S PAGE.</h3> + <h4>THE STORY OF THE BULLETS.</h4> + <p>Among some unpublished papers of the late Rev. Dr. Pike, we find the following + story, which we know will be of interest to our readers, both from the sketch itself + and the association with its author:</p> + <p>A few years after Gen. Hooker fought his famous battle of the clouds, I visited + Lookout Mountain, and, while searching for some memento on the battle-field, picked + up a slightly bruised rifle bullet. This to me was a real prize. It was not too + large, it would keep.</p> + <p>A slight illness, aggravated by the fatigue of the day, induced me to accept the + urgent request of a former acquaintance to spend the night with him upon the + mountain. During the evening, I chanced to show him the bullet, saying I thought + myself quite fortunate in finding it.</p> + <p>"Oh," said he, "that's nothing. A colored woman after the battle gathered and sold + so many that she was able to purchase a cow with the money, and now that cow supports + her family."</p> + <p>I left Chattanooga the nest morning, and thought no more of the incident for a + dozen years. A short time since, however, I was spending the night in a small village + in one of the mountain towns of Tennessee. At nightfall, looking out from my hotel, I + observed a company of colored people ambling along towards a low wooden + meeting-house, and time hanging heavily on my hands, I decided to join the dusky + worshipers. I slipped in, therefore, when the meeting was a little under way, and + allowed myself to be ushered up to the front seat, directly under the eye of an + intelligent looking young man who proved to be the preacher for the occasion. After a + few opening services, which embraced the usual variety in ordinary churches, the + minister took for his text the passage, "Ask, and ye shall receive, seek and ye shall + find, knock and it shall be opened unto you."</p> + <p>"Now," said he, when he had gotten on well with his introduction, "you must not + believe you will surely receive precisely the thing you ask for in just the way you + might like it. Let me give you an illustration from my personal experience. When a + little boy, I lived with my mother on the southern slope of Lookout Mountain, and + remember well the day that Gen. Hooker fought his great battle up there and how he + and his soldiers marched bravely away. For a long time the children and the grown + people searched the battle-fields over, day after day, hoping to find things of + value. My mother made it her business to hunt for bullets, and at length the number + she gathered herself and took from us boys was so great that she was able to purchase + a cow with the money they brought.</p> + <p>"A benevolent gentleman living in New York at this time soon after secured the + Government buildings on the top of the mountain that had <span class="pagenum"><a + name="page77" id="page77"></a>[pg 77]</span> been used for the sick soldiers, and + fitted them up nicely for Northern teachers, who opened a boarding-school for white + students. I took milk to the institution from our cow, every morning, and how I + wished that I might gain admittance to the school and procure an education! One day I + heard the scholars reciting in concert, 'Ask and ye shall receive, seek and ye shall + find, knock and it shall be opened unto you.' It came over me most powerfully and I + repeated it again and again. I said it to my mother, and inquired of her what it + meant, and why it impressed me so, and who it was that said it.</p> + <p>"She replied, 'I dunno. I reckon I'se heard dem words afore. 'Pears like dey was + spoke by the bressed Lord.'</p> + <p>"The more I thought of it, the more undecided I was what I could do, or what my + mother could do for me, I knew, however, that the Lord could do everything.</p> + <p>"Well, the nest time I met the good-natured teacher who managed the school, I made + bold to ask him to allow me to tell him all about it, and this was his reply. 'Our + Lord made that promise long before the discovery of America and the establishment of + the peculiar institutions of this country. If he had lived at this day, I reckon,' he + continued with a look of drollery, 'he would have said "Ask and ye shall + receive—if you aint a nigger." I can't take you into my school because you are + black, but I'll send you down to the American Missionary school at Chattanooga. You + can ask and receive there whether you are black or white.'</p> + <p>"So, shortly after he told my experience to the teacher in the town, who arranged + that my mother should take me and the cow to a little farm just out of the city, + giving me an opportunity to attend his school regularly until I was fitted to enter + an institution of a higher grade. I then went away and pursued a course of study for + six years, teaching during the summer and receiving aid from my mother, who kept the + cow all the while for her own support and my assistance. I asked, I received, but not + just in the way I hoped."</p> + <p>When he had finished speaking, I took him heartily by the hand, told him of my + early visit to the mountain and the bullet still in my possession. I talked with him + about his teachers, his struggles for self-help, his aim to work for the progress of + the church and his consecration to the duties of the Christian ministry. I conversed + with him in reference to others of his acquaintance and believe that his experience + serves to illustrate the ingenuity of the colored people in seeking their own + advancement.</p> + <div class="poem"> + <div class="stanza"> + <p>"They climb like corals, grave on grave,</p> + <p>But pave a path that's sunward,</p> + <p>They're beaten back in many a fray,</p> + <p class="i2">Yet newer strength they borrow;</p> + <p>And where the vanguard rests to-day,</p> + <p class="i2">The rear shall camp to-morrow."</p> + </div> + </div> + <span class="pagenum"><a name="page78" id="page78"></a>[pg 78]</span> + <hr class="receipts_hr" /> + <a name="receipts" id="receipts"></a> + <h3>RECEIPTS FOR JANUARY, 1888.</h3> + <hr class="quarter" /> + <h5>MAINE, $977.34.</h5> + <div class="receipts"> + <p>Auburn.

Guaranteed to give perfect satisfaction if + properly applied. They are <i>heavy bodied</i>, and for work that does not require an + extra heavy coat, they can be thinned (with our Old Fashioned Kettle-boiled Linseed + Oil) and still cover better than most of the mixed paints sold in the market, many of + which have so little stock in them that they will not give a good solid coat.</p> + <p>Some manufacturers of mixed paints direct NOT to rub out the paint, but to FLOW it + on; the reason being that if such stuff were rubbed out there would be but little + left to cover, would be transparent. Our Cottage Colors have great strength or body, + and, like any good paint, should be worked out well under the brush. The covering + property of this paint is so excellent as to allow this to be done.</p> + <p>Put up for shipment as follows: In 3-gal. and 5-gal. bailed buckets, also barrels; + in cans of 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1-gal. and 2-gal. each.</p> + <p>Sample Cards of Colors, Testimonials and prices sent on application to</p> + <p>Chicago White Lead & Oil Co., Cor.
