It may be of interest to our + readers to know how our treasury compares with the same period of time last year. + During this half-year, there has been an increase in <i>collections</i> of $6,250.73, + a decrease in the amount paid in from <i>estates</i> and <i>legacies</i> of + $2,880.05, making a balance in the total receipts, of $3,370.68 in advance of those + of the preceding year for the corresponding period.</p> + <p>This, however, does not mean that we are in advance of our expenditures. All life + predicates growth. When there is no growth, the body has begun to die. Those who will + read the able paper of Dr. Bradford in this magazine, will doubtless conclude with + him, that the imperative demand is for increased life, and for multiplied efforts to + save those to whom Providence has manifestly called us. The natural and necessary + growth of life has been upon us. While we have cut and trimmed and pinched with an + economy that the most careful might think an unwise policy, there has yet been + growth. Success necessitates development. Good schools will enlarge. One church + creates another. One foothold secured in a missionary region opens districts to many + who swell the cry of need to the heart of Christian compassion "<i>come over and help + us</i>," so that with all our pruning the work has grown beyond the slight increase + of funds from our churches.</p> + <p>We ought to push our work. Ignorant millions need the truth which we have. They + need the knowledge which we have. They need salvation, and if we have it and have the + spirit of Christ's compassion, we will see that they are not left in darkness. There + is enough and to spare in the hands of the disciples of Christ for this vast and + increasingly urgent work. "Why," says George W. Cable, "if you knew the national + value of this work, to say nothing of its gospel value, you would quadruplicate it + before the year is out," He calls it "the most prolific missionary field that was + ever opened to any Christian people," "right here at your doors."</p> + <span class="pagenum"><a name="page118" id="page118"></a>{118}</span> + <p>While then we have the right to thank God and his people, and reason to take + courage, we should be false to the churches and to ourselves should we fail to + accentuate the necessities of our work, and the demand upon those in whose name we + stand. Brethren, is not ours the appeal of Christ to you for his neglected and his + needy ones? Bring your thank offerings to God and make enlargement for this enlarging + work.</p> + <hr /> + <a name="editorial2" id="editorial2"></a> + <p>We are thankful for our receipts from legacies. They are testimonies that speak, + from those whose lips are sealed in death, for the gospel of Christ and its elevating + and saving power when it is applied to the low-down and the poor and the wronged. In + these legacies, those who are dead yet speak the word of life to those whom they have + remembered.</p> + <p>Our work, however, should be planned, not upon the uncertainties of legacies, but + upon the ability and faith of those who live and give. It cheers us to know that our + living donors are increasing and are entering with us the doors of opportunity which + God has so manifestly opened and which no man can shut.</p> + <hr /> + <p>We congratulate the American Home Missionary Society that it closes its year, not + having realized its fears even if it has not absolutely compassed all its hopes. We + are grateful, for its success. Our congratulations also are hearty that our great + Foreign Missionary Society, the A.B.C.F.M., reports itself at the end of its fiscal + half-year $78,000 in advance of what was received for the same period last year.</p> + <hr /> + <p>But do not forget the great work which the churches have put upon us. See nearly + eight millions who went from barbarism into slavery, and from slavery came out the + poorest of the poor, the most ignorant of the ignorant, the most dependent of the + dependent, without true religion and with no opportunity to know what true religion + is unless we tell them. Africa is in America, China is in America, the barbarous + heathen Indian is in America, and two millions of white people in the mountain region + in four hundred counties, where ignorance is solid, are in America. These all look to + the American Missionary Association. Will it not be our turn next to receive from the + churches their increasing Godspeed on this work in such measure that we may carry the + truth and the life to those who ought to have it.</p> + <hr /> + <p>The Connecticut Normal Industrial School previous to the brief spring vacation was + visited by many northern friends at Thomasville, Ga., upon the occasion of its + closing exercises. The <i>Thomasville Times</i> calls sympathetic <span + class="pagenum"><a name="page119" id="page119"></a>{119}</span> attention to the work + and adds "That the boys and girls are being carefully taught and trained will be + apparent to any one who will go to the Institution and see its workings. The + attendance has averaged over two hundred." Thomasville is not far removed from + Quitman geographically but, in point of intelligent regard for its own interests and + the interests of the Negro, the distance is incalculable. As Joseph said to his + brethren, we can say to the school incendiaries of Quitman, "Ye meant it for evil but + the Lord meant it for good."</p> + <hr /> + <p>An attractive and interesting four-paged weekly journal called the <i>Chinese + Evangelist</i> comes to us. It is the first number of a curiosity in the way of a + newspaper, being printed half in the English and half in the Chinese language. Its + editor is Mr. J.S. Harper, son of Rev. A.F. Harper, of Canton College, and the + manager is Guy Maine, a Christian Chinaman and member of the Broadway Tabernacle + Church. The address of the editor is No. 117 West 87th St., New York, and of the + manager, No. 15 University Place. It is intended for all workers in Chinese + Sunday-schools, and every teacher of Chinese Sunday-school scholars would do well to + send a dollar and secure this invaluable aid for a year. Its column of items is named + "Tea Leaves." We would suggest that the motto for this bright little paper be "<i>Tu + doces</i>."</p> + <hr /> + <a name="editorial3" id="editorial3"></a> + <h3>THE VERNACULAR IN INDIAN SCHOOLS.</h3> + <p>BY SECRETARY STRIKEY.</p> + <p>This question is not settled. One thing that has kept it unsettled has been the + uncertain use of the term "missionary schools" in the Orders of the Indian + Department. What is precisely a missionary school? Let me try to explain. There are + three kinds of schools in the nomenclature of the Indian Office, based on the sources + of their support.</p> + <p>1. <i>Government</i> Schools, supported wholly by Government + appropriations—such as those at Carlisle, Genoa, etc. These may be left out of + the account in this discussion, for no one objects to the Government's directing the + studies in them.</p> + <p>2. <i>Contract</i> Schools, so called because the missionary societies which + sustain them receive under <i>contract</i> with the Government a certain amount of + money in aid of their support. The school at Santee, Nebraska, and the school at + Yankton, Dakota, are specimens of this class. But these are <i>mission</i> schools, + for the societies which support them would not continue to do so for a day except for + their missionary character; and yet these schools are classed by the Department not + as missionary but as contract schools.</p> + <p>3. <i>Missionary</i> Schools, which are supported wholly by missionary funds, the + Government contributing nothing. Here, again, in the recent <span class="pagenum"><a + name="page120" id="page120"></a>{120}</span> order, the Department employs the + confusing use of terms, speaking in general terms of "missionary schools," and then + of missionary schools under the charge of "native Indian teachers," and at remote + points; the inference being that the white teacher of a missionary school, though it + may be in a place so remote that neither the pupils nor the people can understand the + English language, cannot teach in the vernacular.</p> + <p>With these explanations we present, under date of Feb. 11, 1888,</p> + <h4>THE LATEST ORDERS OF THE DEPARTMENT.</h4> + <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; and only native Indian teachers will be permitted to + otherwise teach in any Indian vernacular; and these native teachers will only be + allowed so to teach in schools not supported in whole or in part by the Government + and at remote points, where there are no Government or contract schools where the + English language is taught. These native teachers are only allowed to teach in the + vernacular with a view of reaching those Indians who cannot have the advantage of + instruction in English, and such instruction must give way to the English-teaching + schools as soon as they are established where the Indians can have access to + them.</p> + <p>3. A limited theological class of Indian young men may be trained in the + vernacular at any purely missionary school, supported exclusively by missionary + societies, the object being to prepare them for the ministry, whose subsequent work + shall be confined to preaching unless they are employed as teachers in remote + settlements, where English schools are inaccessible.</p> + <p>4. These rules are not intended to prevent the possession or use by any Indian of + the Bible published in the vernacular, but such possession or use shall not interfere + with the teaching of the English language to the extent and in the manner + hereinbefore directed.</p> + <p>The gravamen of the objections urged in all this controversy is that the + <i>Government has no right to interfere with these mission schools</i>; in the first + place, in excluding all use of the vernacular in contract schools, even for religious + instruction, and in the next place, in controlling the studies of the mission schools + <i>supported wholly by missionary money</i> and in excluding white teachers from + vernacular schools. The missionary societies have found by long experience that these + mission schools in which the vernacular is taught, especially in remote places, are + the most effective, and in many cases the only modes by which the people can be + reached by the Gospel. The pupils are taught to read the Bible and it is carried by + them to their homes. Now we ask, is it the function of the Government of the United + <span class="pagenum"><a name="page121" id="page121"></a>{121}</span> States to + dictate in matters so purely religious and to override the Christian churches in the + choice of their most approved methods of disseminating the Gospel?</p> + <h4>PRESIDENT CLEVELAND'S LETTER.</h4> + <p>The President, under date of March 29, 1888, in response to some resolutions + adopted by the Philadelphia M.E. Conference, writes a letter on this subject, which + deserves careful and candid consideration, both for what it concedes and for what it + does not concede. We present the portion of the letter bearing upon the points at + issue.</p> + <p>"Secular teaching is the object of the ordinary Government schools, but surely + there can be no objection to reading a chapter in the Bible in English, or in Dakota + if English could not be understood, at the daily opening of those schools, as is done + in very many other well-regulated secular schools. It may be, too, that the use of + words in the vernacular may be sometimes necessary to aid in communicating a + knowledge of the English language, but the use of the vernacular should not be + encouraged or continued beyond the limit of such necessity, and the "text books," the + "oral instruction" in a general sense, and the curriculum certainly should be in + English. In missionary schools moral and religious instruction may be given in the + vernacular as an auxiliary to English in conveying such instruction. Here, while the + desirability of some instruction in morals and religion is recognized, the extreme + value of learning the English language is not lost sight of. And the provision which + follows, that only native teachers shall "otherwise" (that is, except for moral or + religious instruction) teach the vernacular, and only in remote places and until + Government or contract schools are established, is in exact keeping with the purpose + of the Government to exclude the Indian languages from the schools as far as is + consistent with a due regard for the continuance of moral and religious teaching in + the missionary schools, and except in such cases as the exclusion would result in the + entire neglect of secular or other instruction."</p> + <p>On this letter let me remark:</p> + <p>1. That it concedes what has not heretofore been granted, the reading of the Bible + in the vernacular in contract schools and its use in explaining the English. We + accept this concession with gratification.</p> + <p>2. But it makes no concession whatever (beyond that made in the order of the + Commissioner) in regard to the use of the vernacular in schools supported wholly by + missionary funds, or in the employment of white teachers in vernacular schools in + remote districts. Until concessions are made on these points, the controversy will go + forward.</p> + <p>The aim of the Government is <i>expedient</i>, in trying to secure ultimately the + use of the English language among the Indians. The aim of the missionary societies is + to fulfil an imperative <i>duty</i>, in trying to reach the Indians with the Gospel + in the most effective methods. There should be mutual respect for these aims; the + Government should yield to the conscientious conviction of the missionary societies + as to methods for giving religious <span class="pagenum"><a name="page122" + id="page122"></a>{122}</span> instruction, and the missionary societies should + co-operate with the Government in introducing the English language as rapidly as + possible consistently with their higher aim. I venture to suggest an outline of + Regulations that would probably attain both these objects and meet other objections + to the ruling of the Department that are not removed by the President's letter.</p> + <h4>DETAILS OF PROPOSED REGULATIONS.</h4> + <p>1. No text-books in the vernacular will be allowed in any Government school, + supported wholly by the Government; no oral instruction in the vernacular will be + allowed at such schools. The entire curriculum must be in the English language.</p> + <p>2. In contract schools supported in part by missionary societies, the vernacular + may be used only for the reading of the Sacred Scriptures, and for oral instruction + in morals and religion and where it is deemed to be an auxiliary to the English + language in conveying such instruction.</p> + <p>3. In all "missionary schools" supported entirely by missionary or benevolent + funds, no restrictions will be put upon the use of the vernacular, with the + understanding, however, that the English language shall be introduced as rapidly as + those conducting these schools shall deem compatible with the higher + aim—religious teaching; and that when these schools shall be prepared to use + the English language wholly, the Department will give them a place on the list of + contract schools rather than to establish others in their stead. If new mission + schools are established they must be so located as not to interfere with existing + Government or contract schools.</p> + <p>4. That any religious denomination shall, at its discretion and entirely at its + own cost, be allowed to conduct special classes in the vernacular for the training of + teachers and preachers. As it is desirable that those teachers and preachers should + be taught in English studies as well as in the vernacular, these classes may be + conducted in connection with contract schools, yet so as not to interfere in any way + with the regular curriculum in the English language.</p> + <hr /> + <p>"Ramona Days," is the title of a neatly printed pamphlet of forty-three pages, + being the January number of a quarterly, published by the Indian Department of the + University of New Mexico. This Indian school is named in honor of Mrs. Helen Hunt + Jackson, who has rendered such valuable services to the Indians in setting forth in + thrilling terms their wrongs, and in pleading so pathetically for their rights. The + Ramona school is under the efficient supervision of Pres. H.O. Ladd, and is aided in + part by the American Missionary Association.</p> + <p>The pamphlet is not a catalogue of the school, but contains a variety of + interesting matter on Indian affairs, the titles of some of the articles being; + "Wiser Methods," "Famous Apache Chiefs," "Treaty Obligations to the Navajoes," "A + Recent Movement Toward Indian Civilization," "Ramona Memorial," etc., etc. There are + also letters from the teachers, and two cuts, one representing the proposed Memorial + Building, Ramona. Mr. Ladd's <span class="pagenum"><a name="page123" + id="page123"></a>{123}</span> work lies largely among that remarkably promising race + of Indians, the Apaches, and those who wish to know more about them would do well to + have the pamphlet. It can be had by addressing Rev. H.O. Ladd, Santa Fe, New Mexico; + subscription price, 50 cents for the four numbers.</p> + <hr /> + <a name="editorial4" id="editorial4"></a> + <h3>THE TIME FACTOR IN THE SOUTHERN PROBLEM.</h3> + <p>BY REV. A.H. BRADFORD, D.D.</p> + <p>The supreme question in English politics is the unity of the empire. The problem + of the mother country is, How may the scattered colonies be joined in one body whose + heart shall be London? All the other questions of the island-empire are but parts of + this. This in turn is forced into prominence by the under-current of the world's + aspiration for larger liberty. "The world no longer for the few, but for the many," + is the watchword of an increasing number in all the nations. How to maintain the + manhood of her subjects, and yet not to force the dismemberment of the empire, is the + question uppermost in old England.</p> + <p>With us, the problem is not one of scattered colonies but of divergent people. + There is in the United States the double problem of how to consolidate and preserve + the interests of a nation with a long area north and south, and with the most diverse + elements of population ever gathered under one flag. This is complicated by other + factors. Our study is confined to those which touch what is known as the Southern + question. The problems of English and American political and religious life are + identical in that both are inspired by the watchword of the rising multitudes, "The + world for the many."</p> + <p>The Southern problem is but part of the larger one of area and races. Consider a + few facts. The South is peopled chiefly by two classes, native whites and native + blacks. Both whites and blacks are there to remain. More whites leave the South than + blacks, and the population is increasing. Emigration avoids the States chiefly + inhabited by blacks. It is not probable that the exodus of whites will be very great. + The population of the future will probably be of the same classes, although the + proportion is rapidly changing. Native whites and native blacks, unless signs fail, + will possess the land.</p> + <p>The Negro race is appallingly fertile. It shows no sign of decadence. It is + multiplying faster than any other. The number of blacks in the United States has + risen from four millions to nearly eight millions since the war. That has been + entirely by natural reproduction. The increase of whites during the decade from 1870 + to 1880 was twenty-nine per cent.; of blacks thirty-five per cent. If, now, we allow + nine per cent. for the increase of the whites by immigration, we find that the + increase of blacks over the whites by natural order is about fourteen per cent. Here, + then, is a <span class="pagenum"><a name="page124" id="page124"></a>{124}</span> + simple problem in arithmetic. If the blacks increase on an average fourteen per cent. + faster than the whites, and to the South there is little immigration, how long will + it be before the blacks preponderate? They will go neither to Africa, to Mexico, nor + to the West Indies. They are here to stay. They are multiplying faster than their + white neighbors. They are growing in consciousness of power faster than in + intelligence. What is the sure result of conscious but blind power? The story of + Samson answers. The problem is the new-birth of a rapidly increasing race. How long + it will take may possibly be imagined from the questions which follow.</p> + <p>I. How long will it require for race-prejudices to go? I put that question to an + intelligent colored man who had been a slave. His answer was, "Until the present + generation is dead."</p> + <p>The conflict between classes in the South will last until they recognize that they + have an identity of interests, or that they are brethren. Prejudice is neither dead + nor fast dying. There is a change in the cities, but it does not reach far inland. In + how many Southern States are the same privileges extended to both races in schools? + in cars? in hotels? in churches? This prejudice is in the blood. Heredity and + training have both fostered it. Race prejudices die slowly. For centuries the contest + between Patrician and Plebeian was carried on in ancient Rome. The subject-class + never affiliated with the master-class. Two or three hundred years ago a new people + was introduced into the north of Ireland. The north is essentially Scottish. Its + inhabitants are Protestant and phlegmatic. In the south, the religion is Romanist, + and the people are mercurial. They are of the same color. They have had the same + history for centuries. For nearly five hundred years, the Turk has been a disturbing + factor in Europe. The Turk is Asiatic. He is surrounded by European life. How rapidly + has the antipathy between races disappeared where the Turk has power? The race-lines + are as distinct as if the waters of a white river and a black ran in the same + channel. The Hebrews are found in all parts of the world. They are industrious, and + as decent as the average man; they mingle with other people, and yet almost + everywhere the prejudice against them is constant and bitter. How long before + Protestant Orangemen and Catholic Irishmen will walk arm and arm in the same + procession? How long before the German and Russian and Englishman will recognize the + Jew as a brother? In the South, the antipathy is between black and white, between a + master-class and a subject-class, between oppressed and oppressor. How long before + this prejudice will disappear?</p> + <p>II. How much time will be required for the consciousness of having been wronged to + wear from the breast and the blood of the black man? This consciousness of having + been wronged is not a race-prejudice, and yet it may become one. It is hard to + eradicate. It is aggravated when the same feelings are in many hearts. This is a + complicated factor. Some of <span class="pagenum"><a name="page125" + id="page125"></a>{125}</span> the blacks seem incapable of sentiments of revenge. + They are too lighthearted to cherish grievances. But all are not so. The pure blacks + who carry with them the consciousness of having been deeply injured, are many. What + will you say of the mulattoes? A man who knows his father, and knows that his father + ignores his existence, may keep it to himself, but he cannot smother his feeling. He + who sees his brothers and sisters pass him on the street in carriages, living in + comfort and honor, while he is poor, and nothing to them, will, in proportion as he + is a man, hate the social order in which they live. Until this consciousness of + having been injured and degraded vanishes, the Southern question will disturb + political and social life.</p> + <p>III. Closely allied to the consciousness of degradation is the lack of manly + feeling. Appreciation of manhood is a condition of improvement. He who thinks himself + only an animal will live like one. Does this condition exist at the South? It could + not be otherwise. Any one who has travelled there must have his faith in the + evolution of some men from the lower animals immeasurably strengthened. Rev. Dr. + Taylor, of New York, has said that he knows that the Darwinian theory cannot be true, + because, if it were, "an Englishman's right arm would have developed into an umbrella + long ago." But Dr. Taylor would find faces in the South which, from their resemblance + to lower orders of life, might weaken his faith in his demonstration.</p> + <p>The black race is no more degraded than our own would be under similar + circumstances, but its condition is appalling. How long will it take to develop the + consciousness of manhood where all the tastes, and all the tendencies, and almost all + the environment, are low and in the opposite direction? The colored people have not + the help of higher and refining influences. Their tendencies have been downward, and + present environment increases the tendency. Regeneration or reform is not the work of + a year or a generation. The change will come only by the creation of new and higher + conditions, and with the birth of a more self-respecting stock.</p> + <p>IV. How long will be required for the education of the colored people and the poor + whites?</p> + <p>The author of "An Appeal to Caesar" says, "The Southern man, black or white, is + not likely to be greatly different to-morrow from what he was yesterday. Generations + may modify; years can only restrain. The question is not whether education, begun + to-day and carried on however vigorously and successfully by the most approved + agencies, would change the characteristics of to-day's masses. Not at all. The + question is whether it would so act upon them <i>as they are</i>, would so enlighten + and inform their minds, as to convince them of the mutual danger, peril, disaster, + that must attend continual oppression or sudden uprising. We cannot expect to make + intelligence instantly effective in the elevation of individual citizenship, or the + exercise of collective power. Little by little that change must come."</p> + <span class="pagenum"><a name="page126" id="page126"></a>{126}</span> + <p>About ninety per cent, of the whole colored population of the South, and about + forty-five per cent. of those above ten years of age, are illiterate. In 1880, + nineteen per cent., or about one in every five, of the white people of the South, and + seventy-three per cent. of the colored people, could neither read nor write; and this + estimate is far too large. After fifteen years of the ballot, seventy-three per cent. + of the colored race of the South could neither read nor write. Much is being done to + promote education by schools and charities, but what are these among so many? To meet + the ignorant condition of things, the Government is doing nothing. The State + governments are doing only a little. In the Southern States previous to the war there + was no system of common schools. After the war there were not even old foundations to + build upon. Everything had to be started <i>de novo</i> by those who had nothing with + which to start. "We must remember," said Dr. Mayo, "that nine men out of ten of the + South never saw what we call a good public elementary school. It has been said that + the public school-buildings of Denver alone exceed in value all the public + school-buildings of the State of North Carolina."</p> + <p>The average school year throughout the South, in 1880, was less than one hundred + days; the average attendance less than thirty per cent. of those within school age. + In a belt of States where seventy-three per cent., and probably ninety per cent., of + the population are illiterate, where they are too poor to do much except keep up the + struggle for existence, where there are no traditions of culture, where it has been a + crime for a black man to read, where the Nation is doing nothing, and where the + State, when it does its best, provides instruction which reaches only thirty per + cent. of those of school age for one hundred days in a year, and where the population + is increasing so rapidly that in 1900 the blacks will be in a decided majority, + charity and religion are doing—what? The progress under the circumstances is + amazing, but how long will it take to educate the nineteen per cent. of Southern + whites, and seventy-three per cent., of Southern blacks? There is more illiteracy now + than at the close of the war, because education has not kept pace with the increase + of the race.</p> + <p>V. How long will be required for the <i>moralizing</i> of the lower classes of the + South? Ability to make moral discriminations grows slowly. Ability to appreciate + moral motives grows still more slowly. These people were trained in a school in which + virtue was ignored. They have lived under conditions which have put a premium on + theft. Slavery always makes thieves. The heredity of the passion for stealing is just + as clearly marked as the heredity of the Roman nose or the faculty for music. The + transmission of the tendency toward the gratification of the animal propensities is + as definite as, and stronger than, the tendency for insanity and consumption to + reproduce themselves. These people come into life blind, <span class="pagenum"><a + name="page127" id="page127"></a>{127}</span> and find little but darkness around + them. Here you have about eight millions with an ancestry which began in heathenism + and has had two centuries of slavery—a people inheriting all the evils of + slavery; a people who have never been trained to make moral discriminations, and + whose ancestors for unknown generations have been trained still less than they; a + people who have none, or at least but little, of the inspiration toward a higher + moral life which comes from a healthy environment; a people whose religion is almost + all emotional; who can soar on the wings of imagination and enthusiasm to heights + which would make an archangel dizzy; who from paroxysms of anguish at the condition + of those whose burning bodies are lighting the fires of hell, will go off and commit + adultery or rob a hen-roost as complacently as if to do so were a part of their + religion. This is not fiction. Religion has not meant chastity, for slavery made that + impossible; it has not meant justice, for injustice forged their chains; it has not + meant generosity, for they had nothing; it has been simple emotion. The ethical + element has been absent, and it was through no fault of the black man.</p> + <p>In 1860, President Hopkins said that a greater proportion of the Sandwich + Islanders could read than of the people in New England. They were educated but not + moralized. There were three hundred thousand of them a century and a half ago; in + 1883, there were forty-nine thousand. Education without morality is no safeguard.</p> + <p>Prof. Gilliam shows, from census reports, that if the population of the Southern + whites increases for a century, as at present, in 1985, there will be ninety-six + million whites in the Southern States, and in 1980, one hundred and ninety-two + million blacks. Statistics may lie; but there is enough truth in these to give + terrible emphasis to the inquiry, How long before the colored people will be + sufficiently educated to need no help? How long before they will have sufficient + moral discrimination to know what the commandments require? When we realize how + difficult is the task of inducing men with the environment of Christian influence at + the North, and in England, to live even decent lives, the wonder is that the freedmen + do as well as they do. How long before we can expect a race with such antecedents and + environments to be fitted to be left to themselves? What answer must be given? I am + not exaggerating the picture. I am only hinting at conditions of heathenism which + exist. I am least of all blaming these poor and needy people; but none the less clear + and strong comes the appeal for their moral and intellectual emancipation. The + moralizing of a race which has such a history, how long will that require? No people + ever rose more rapidly in the world's history. That shows what is possible. It does + not tell us when our work will be finished. So long as one-half of the American + republic is inhabited by those whose interests are alien to the other half, there can + be no permanent prosperity. It has been said that there are three essentials to the + <span class="pagenum"><a name="page128" id="page128"></a>{128}</span> permanent unity + of a nation; viz., unity of language, unity of interest and unity of religion. There + is a common language between the blacks and whites, but the unity of interest is not + recognized, and agreement in religion is only in name. The religion of the poor + whites in the South is mechanical, and unintelligently doctrinal; the religion of the + blacks is emotional and fantastic; and the religion of both blacks and whites is + lacking in the ethical element. The process of political reconstruction has been + progressing for twenty years and more, and is still incomplete. That is an easy work + compared with what must be created intellectually, and socially, and morally. Before + the Southern problem will be solved, a new stock must take the place of those who + were reared in slavery; the old traditions must fade, and education, and an ethical + type of Christianity, must do their work. How long will be required for that, none + can tell. In the meantime, new complications may arise. The principles of socialism + and anarchy are not unlikely to pervade the South, and if the masses of blacks are + ever exploited by a central, unknown and irresponsible committee of agitators, the + results must be a new reign of terror. The labor agitators are moving southward. It + has been said that colored people have no tendencies toward socialism and anarchy. I + am no prophet, but I will hazard the prediction that it will not be long before the + socialistic agitator will stir up a commotion at the South that will make employers + of labor and people of wealth tremble.</p> + <p>The sentiment has sometimes been whispered, that the work of this Association, and + those akin to it, was about accomplished. That sentiment has selfishness or ignorance + at the bottom of it. How long must this work be kept up? Until all that mass of + darkness which fills the Southern horizon be shot through and through with shafts of + light. How long must it be kept up? Until the last trace of prejudice that separates + brother from brother shall have been removed. How long will this thing be kept up? + Until the black man feels that he is a man; until he can vote intelligently, and live + wisely, and until he has the ability and the will to discriminate carefully in + matters of morals. How long must it be kept up? Until no man can plead ignorance, or + want of opportunity, for rejecting the Lord Jesus Christ. The Eastern question has + been a live question in European politics for more than four centuries. It is no more + puzzling than the Southern question is with us. There is an experiment in physics + that is typical of this work. An iron bar is suspended in the air and then a tiny + cork, hung from a string, is thrown against it. At first no impression is made, but + the blows are repeated, until, by and by, the bar begins to tremble, then to vibrate, + then to swing to and fro. The repeated impacts of the little cork at last move the + mass. It will not be by any great rush that the Southern problem will be solved. It + will yield at last to the constancy, and fidelity, of the great multitude of those + who love their brother because they love their Lord; who are content to work in + secret, <span class="pagenum"><a name="page129" id="page129"></a>{129}</span> and + many of whom already rest in unmarked graves. That mass of ignorance, wretchedness + and wrong will swing and disappear at last before the multitudinous strokes of + individual gifts and individual prayers.</p> + <p>All the problems which are vexing the older nations are essentially social + problems, and the watchword of all the movements that are undermining thrones and + caste, and the wicked social order, is, "The world no longer for the few, but for the + many." In America the <i>many</i> are already in possession, and the problem with us + is, How may our rulers—the people who can never be dethroned—be rendered + competent to rule? That is the question to which the American Missionary Association + is devoting itself; and its answer is the only true one: By making the people + intelligent, and Christian. And how long before that will be accomplished? A + Scotchman once asked an Irishman, "Why were half-farthings coined in England?" Pat + instantly replied, "To give Scotchmen an opportunity of contributing to missions." + When will this problem be solved? Never, if the Christians of America are like Pat's + Scotchman, but quicker than any of us dream, if all the Christians of America are + like that woman in the New Testament who put into the treasury two mites.</p> + <hr class="full" /> + <a name="south1" id="south1"></a> + <h2>THE SOUTH.</h2> + <h3>SOUTHERN TESTIMONY.</h3> + <p>We insert the following from the <i>Southern Presbyterian</i>, as a recent + testimony to the views, principles and work of the American Missionary Association. + It will be all the stronger from the fact that it was not written for a testimony, + but as a setting forth of facts by a Southerner to Southerners.</p> + <blockquote> + <p>The old masters and the old slaves are now rapidly passing into eternity. In ten + years more no one of our people, white or black, under <i>forty years</i> of age, + will know personally anything of slavery. It then comes to this, that now and from + this time forward, we white Christians must be impressed with the fact that we have + here at our doors, in our houses, offices, stores and kitchens, and on our farms, + not slaves, but a race of people, three-fourths of whom are but a little removed + from savages in so far as their knowledge of religion is concerned. They have among + them those whom they call preachers; they hold meetings, they halloo, they shout, + but no <i>saving truth</i> is preached or heard from that source. The result is + great animal excitement, but no moral elevation. Then many of them are receiving + secular education. That sharpens their intellects but gives no Christian character. + It does just the opposite; it fits them for rascality. They are increasing. There + are probably eight millions of them now, and there will be many millions more. + Those who are dying without Christ are dying here in a Christian land without + hope.</p> + <p>The statement of a Congregational missionary recently made, is probably true, + viz.: that "one-fourth of the race is improving rapidly," yet much the larger part + of them are almost, if not altogether, <i>heathen</i>. They are not across the + ocean; under God's providence they are here, where you can touch them with your + finger. Why here? <span class="pagenum"><a name="page130" + id="page130"></a>{130}</span> It will not do to say that nothing can be made out of + them. Go to Texas, to Tennessee, and come right here to Atlanta now, and our most + intelligent white men will tell you that on the prohibition question, negroes, + educated, smart and very eloquent, have made, and are making, <i>ringing</i> + speeches. There have been smart speakers on both sides. Some of their speeches + would do credit to any white orator in the South. Dr. Sanderson, our late Professor + at Tuskaloosa, stated on the floor of the Synod of Alabama last week, that he had + taught a good deal, and that a young negro, twenty years of age, one of our + divinity students at Tuskaloosa, was as smart a pupil as he had ever seen; that if + he were in the State University he would be in its first rank of students, and that + he heard him recently preach a sermon on the mediatorial work of Christ, such that + he (Dr. Sanderson) would not undertake to make a better one on that majestic theme. + * * *</p> + <p>In Dallas Presbytery, Texas, recently, a black man was examined for two days on + Latin, Greek, Hebrew, and on all that is required by our Book of Government for + ordination, and he did not falter once. So the brethren there testify.</p> + <p>Then it comes to this: this race of people is here; the great body of them are + heathen. Can anyone doubt that it is the purpose of the Almighty to prepare a large + number of them, converted, educated and civilized, to go back to Africa to redeem + that continent for civilization and for Christ? We are commanded to preach the + Gospel to every creature, to teach it to all nations.</p> + </blockquote> + <hr /> + <a name="south2" id="south2"></a> + <h3>OUR WORK, AS A GRADUATE OF FISK UNIVERSITY SEES IT.</h3> + <p>BY WILLIAM A. CROSTHWAITE.</p> + <p>The American Missionary Association is doing more to quicken the hopes and + aspirations of the Southern Negro, more toward arousing the Southern white man to + educate himself, and more toward bringing the two races to an acknowledgment of each + other's rights, than any other similar institution in the country.</p> + <p>In the summer of 1884, near Leesburg, Texas, a well-appointed Negro school was + burned by the whites of that community. The colored people, seeing their hope of + years in ashes, advertised their little holdings for sale, and prepared to leave in a + body. But the whites offered to supplement the insurance on the former building and + to re-build the school, if the colored people would remain in the community. The + terms were accepted, and now <i>West Chapel</i>, which is the name of the school, is + excellently furnished and has a $200 bell upon it, and is the best known school in + Northeast Texas. Previous to the burning of West Chapel, the whites were continually + distracted by factional fights. There was general apathy with regard to improvement + in any way whatever. Their teachers were always of the inferior class. But, when they + found that the colored people would have a school, they decided to have one also. The + colored people bought a bell. So did they. The colored people had a foreign teacher. + So must they have one, and they paid $750 a year for him. One of the white citizens + of the locality summed the situation up thus:—"West Chapel is to the whites + what a coal of fire is on the back of a terrapin." This school was organized by a + Fisk student and has ever <span class="pagenum"><a name="page131" + id="page131"></a>{131}</span> since been taught by students of Fisk. Thus is the + A.M.A. lifting up the Negro directly and the whites indirectly, and establishing + friendly relations between the two.</p> + <p>But this is no isolated case. The story is the same wherever the educated Negro + comes in contact with the whites. At one time, our school was so far in advance of + the white school, that I was told by my school director that "no high-learnt teacher + was wanted to teach 'Nigger Schools,'" and I was actually driven from my school by + threats of violence.</p> + <p>The North can better understand the work of the American Missionary Association, + when it is fully understood that the presence of Fisk University in Nashville brought + about the existence of Vanderbilt University. When Fisk began to send out her + graduates as refined and upright gentlemen, and the newspapers were enthusiastic in + their accounts of its literary and musical exhibitions, the white people said; "We + must have a university in Nashville also."</p> + <p>In the recent Prohibition campaign in Tennessee, the students of Fisk were one of + the chief factors. In the beginning of the movement, the cry; "Where does Fisk stand + on this question?" went up from the good people all over the State. Fisk was the + first college to declare in favor of the proposed Amendment, and one hundred young + men and women went from her walls and fought valiantly for the cause.</p> + <p>It is due the profound Christian spirit that characterizes the work of the + Association to say, that every student and alumnus of Fisk in the State of Tennessee + was an ardent supporter of the cause, save two. During the campaign the most cordial + feelings existed between the better elements of both races. Heretofore these things + were almost unheard of.</p> + <p>There was a time when policy or political expediency had no effect upon the + prejudices of the Southern whites, but the educational process inaugurated by the + North is elevating a class of colored people to a plane where they are respected as + never before. No State or Federal aid can do for us what the A.M.A. is doing. Such + aid as the Blair Bill proposed would meet a certain need, and enable the men that are + educated by the A.M.A. to get at the masses; but the peculiar work of preparing + honest and devout Christian leaders must be otherwise provided for. The complete + regeneration of the South is a thing of the future. The A.M.A. must remain among us + to hasten on "the harvest of the golden year."</p> + <p>That the Christianization of the Negro must come from without his own + institutions, will be clearly seen by looking at his present religious condition. The + new life that is developing cannot be crowded into the narrow limits of his church. + The moral element is almost entirely wanting in his creed and doctrine. Such is the + condition of the church that moral and spiritual growth are impossible. He must be + educated away from the institutions that attended his enslavement; as far from them + as Canaan is from Egypt. Again, the pulpit, with comparatively few honorable + exceptions, <span class="pagenum"><a name="page132" id="page132"></a>{132}</span> is + filled with adventurers and impure ministers. To a great extent this is true. But + signs of a spiritual and moral exodus are everywhere manifest. The judgment of God + rests heavily upon the Negro's temple-worship and the structure tumbles to the + ground. Within the last two years I have seen six of the largest colored churches in + Tennessee split on moral grounds, and the discontent with what is bad, grows among + them. The old associations are losing their power over the rising generation. + Intelligent men are seeking to supply their spiritual and moral wants. The A.M.A. has + but to persist in the establishment of its school and church work among the colored + people, with good strong men as ministers, and it is sure to be the leaven of the + church of the future for the Negro people.</p> + <p>Last summer an old father, who had educated four children at Fisk University and + had himself been there on one Commencement occasion, said to me:—"That Fisk + school is the <i>buildin'-up-est</i> place to our people in the world. I never expect + to have such a good time and treatment again until I get to heaven." Thus are our + hopes quickened and our aspirations for nobler things awakened.</p> + <p>But to one who understands the situation, the question of our education is of + serious moment. All our institutions of higher learning are living from hand to + mouth, with no endowment, and the North's purse-strings are growing tighter as the + years go by. On the other hand, prejudice strikes savagely at our State + appropriations. This year, in the advanced State of Tennessee, the white + State-student gets one hundred dollars while the colored gets only twenty-two dollars + and a half. In his poverty what can the Negro student do with this sum in the way of + educating himself?</p> + <p>I could take you in the homes of those whom you have educated, then could you + appreciate the wisdom of your investments. It is around the fireside, and in the + conduct of the children, that your noble work is manifesting itself so clearly. The + intellectual, moral and spiritual life found there are the true and only guarantees + that old things are passing away.</p> + <p>The abject condition of the great body of Negroes appeals to Christian religion + and philanthropy for the help that must come to redeem their lost minds and souls. + The South cannot give them a Christian education. The cry goes up to the great, warm + heart of the North. We crave the crumbs that fall from your God-given, bountiful + table.</p> + <hr /> + <a name="south3" id="south3"></a> + <h3>A PASTOR'S FIRST VIEW.</h3> + <blockquote> + <p>A pastor who was educated at the North and who was graduated at the Hartford + Theological Seminary, has for the first time made the acquaintance of his race in + the South. He had never met his own people as a race until he entered into the + service of the American Missionary Association. His impressions and testimony have, + therefore, an additional interest.</p> + </blockquote> + <p>In reference to the field: it is large and interesting, and requires more <span + class="pagenum"><a name="page133" id="page133"></a>{133}</span> than ordinary + attention, both to that part of it under cultivation and that which is not yet. I + have arranged my visits in such a way as to make it practicable for me to do justice + to both; visiting church members the last week in each month (except in case of + sickness), and using the rest of the time (apart from other necessary duties) for + visits outside.</p> + <p>I am thus brought into direct contact with our people and learn a great deal about + their condition. In some places it does seem actually as if liberty and civilization + are still mysteries to them.</p> + <p>When I was in the North and heard or read descriptions of the condition and mode + of living of the colored people of the South, I often thought that those descriptions + were very highly colored, but I am now perfectly cured of all my doubts. My visits + furnish me with the most plausible attestation of the facts. Squalor, with its long + train of attendants, may be commonly seen in every direction, and perhaps not + confined to the lower-conditioned of our people either. The desecration of the Lord's + day is actually frightful. It is very literally used as a "day of rest from labor." + On every hand the people are seen resting—resting from labor in the houses, on + the stoops and on the streets, instead of being in the house of God. In very many + instances, however, we succeed in getting some of them to attend church, but the work + is somewhat uphill. I trust that this abnormal condition to which slavery has reduced + them will eventually succumb to the effective educational weapon that is being + brought to bear upon them, that of the American Missionary Association especially, + and may the time soon come for the South when the Holy Spirit working in and through + the various missionary Boards, and also other agencies, shall spread righteousness + and education and the true art of living, among these benighted people. I am praying, + others are praying, and you, too, must help us to pray and to wait for the quickening + influences and a fresh baptism of the Holy Spirit.</p> + <hr /> + <a name="south4" id="south4"></a> + <h3>TALLADEGA FRUIT.</h3> + <p>BY MISS E.B. EMERY.</p> + <p>The missions of the American Missionary Association at the South are like orange + trees, perennial, evergreen, and continually bearing golden fruit, and of these there + is none more abounding in vitality than Talladega. All the year round the foliage + glistens, the blossoming sheds its fragrance, and every winter there is an ample + harvest. Sometimes one from abroad comes in to shake the tree and gather the fruit, + and sometimes not; but however that may be, the soil is previously and thoroughly + prepared by these consecrated missionaries, the tree is watered and nourished and + tended the year round, and the harvest <i>expected</i>, and it comes.</p> + <p>Are there no spiritual frosts to blight? They are impossible, if the <span + class="pagenum"><a name="page134" id="page134"></a>{134}</span> spiritual atmosphere + be kept clear, and the Holy Ghost be a daily and hourly companion and friend.</p> + <p>It is by no means unusual in Talladega for every unbelieving pupil in the boarding + department to be converted. This year there were over forty hopeful conversions, and + Rev. James Wharton, an English evangelist, by his earnest preaching was of very great + assistance. It is noticeable that if any who have had little <i>previous</i> training + are converted through the preaching of an evangelist, they are not likely to hold out + well.</p> + <p>On the first Sunday in March, twenty-seven of the converts were received into the + college church, with two from the Baptist Church. More will come later as the fruits + of the revival, while a few will join other churches. Eighteen of the number were + young men, and among them were the two sons of Pres. DeForest, one fourteen, the + other nine, years of age.</p> + <p>Prof. G.W. Andrews, D.D., the pastor this year, conducted the services; there was + no sermon proper and no time for any, but there was much of the beautiful music of + these colored people; they sing out their fervid souls with their rich and powerful + voices. Nearly all were baptized, and much more was made of the right hand of + fellowship than is usual in any Northern church. And it is needful for these + children, for they will call for constant help months and years to come. With few + exceptions, they are not reared in Christian homes, are not educated from the cradle + in the Christian faith. The services were both solemn and joyful, and very tender and + touching.</p> + <p>Such an avowal is the most significant of all things, anytime, anywhere, but here + we know that every life is to be one of toil and bitter struggle, a fight in which + the odds are, to appearances, all against them; more than all, that this young man, + that young woman, with the dusky face, the mellow voice and the eager spirit, now in + covenant with us, is to be a missionary to the heathen, and of his own people. What + may he not accomplish? What may she not do for Christ? And these heathen are in our + own country; they are our own people. These young missionaries are very peculiarly + ours, and it is through the Northern churches that they are trained for their work. + Shall not then those churches adopt them in their hearts, carry them in their + prayers, and let them suffer no lack in their preparation? Their work in the future + for the Master's kingdom will depend very much upon us Christians of the North.</p> + <p>Talladega College is exceedingly prosperous. The day-school is very large; the + Sunday-school packs the chapel, and the Sunday congregation is much too crowded for + health or comfort in a room seating but two hundred and fifty. The college is working + all the time, for a church, earning many small sums. The result, with some gifts, + amounts to about $400.

The tattered, soiled bed and the fireplace took up + a large part of the room, and the rest was nearly filled with the confusion of odds + and ends that make up the belongings of such a home. A feeble fire rested on the + uneven bricks of the fireplace, and the chimney above was covered with newspapers in + the last stages of dilapidation and dirt. There was no window, but a little sliding + shutter, moved aside a few inches, admitted light enough to make the darkness visible + as it fell on the smoke-stained boards, and the dusky faces of the inmates seated + close to the fire on old chairs and boxes. A home more forlorn than this little pen, + which, with a smaller back shed, is the only residence of at least five human beings, + I can hardly conceive.</p> + <p>Now for a more cheering picture. It is a cozy sitting-room, papered with taste and + furnished in harmony. Everything looks neat, from the snowy bed-spread to the pretty + clock on the mantel, and the dainty bunch of pansies on the wall above. Open doors + give glimpses of other rooms as well ordered as this, while intelligence and kindness + beam in the dark faces of gentle mother and cheery bright-eyed daughters. When people + ask us how we can bear to teach "niggers," they generally have in mind those + tattered, lazy persons, who are most wont to show themselves on the street corners, + and so make the deepest impression on the average white mind.</p> + <p>But look at my third picture, and you will see both how we can like our work, and + what is one of the things that make a difference between the second home I have + described and the first. The large school-room is filled. More than one hundred and + twenty-five students are arranged in classes, most of whom are standing in their + places ready to pass to recitation rooms. One of their number is at the piano. + Another stands at the desk to give the word of command. Now he strikes the bell and + the pupils in long file pass out, marching with their heads up. Not a teacher is in + sight. Everything is orderly and is running of itself, as it does every day. This is + nothing wonderful, of course, though I know some white schools which could not be + trusted to this degree to the control of monitors. But it is only a sign of the + influences that here lead to self-reliance and self-control. Every year a new set of + uncouth and undeveloped young people come shambling in, looking around with + bewildered eyes. But they soon begin to straighten up and fall into step. Their vague + ideas get settled, and their minds, slow at first, wake up. In a few years they will + be made over new, not perfect, but vastly improved. They will be out teaching, + spreading light from scores of new centres, and sending new pupils to "Old Le + Moyne."</p> + <span class="pagenum"><a name="page136" id="page136"></a>{136}</span> + <hr /> + <a name="south6" id="south6"></a> + <h3>THE EVANGELIST AT WORK.</h3> + <p>The last night of the three weeks' series of meetings at Marion was a memorable + one. Every night the church, which was a large-sized building, was well filled with + an attentive congregation, hungering and thirsting for the bread and water of life. + After singing and prayer and hearing the testimonies from the young converts present, + who told with unmistakable clearness how they had given their hearts to God, a few + words were spoken, especially to them, showing what God requires of them now they + have become Christians. Afterwards the gospel was preached to the unconverted and an + invitation given for those who wished to become Christians to signify their desire. A + number responded, including an old man supposed to be at least ninety years of age. + The old man had long thought of being a Christian, but never could get to the point + of decision until now. He looked back upon his long life of sin; he wept, he prayed, + he arose and confessed that he had then and there taken Christ as his Saviour. Was + not he a brand plucked from the burning?</p> + <p>It was most encouraging to see a young lady bringing along to the pastor's house + nearly every day some two or three of her school companions or friends, to be prayed + for and spoken with about the way of salvation. The Christians worked faithfully + visiting the houses of their friends to pray and speak with them and to bring them + out to the meeting at night.</p> + <p>At Mobile, although the first week it rained six days in succession, yet the + people came out well and were repaid for their faithfulness. Every night for the past + three weeks large numbers of all classes have been personally interested, and with + the exception of one service, we have had cause to thank God for conversions. Fathers + and mothers are rejoicing over sons and daughters brought to Christ. A large number + of young people from the Sabbath-school as well as from the day-school have started + on the new life. The teachers say that a marked change is observable and that the + young converts seem to be trying their very best to live up to their profession. + Forty-six were received into the church and will have the instruction that is so much + needed by young converts.</p> + <p>One of the teachers and myself, while visiting some of the converts, found five + young women in one house rejoicing in the pardoning love of God. "Truly," said the + old grandmother, "salvation has come to this house." We found that, some years ago, + three mothers had died and left five orphan children, who were taken by the + grandmother and who had now grown into womanhood. Two sisters first became Christians + and the others soon followed. One said, "I used to be so fond of going to the + theatre, but now I have no heart for that sort of thing; I mean to live a good + Christian life and do all I can for my Saviour." They were all received into church, + and joined as well the Young People's Society of <span class="pagenum"><a + name="page137" id="page137"></a>{137}</span> Christian Endeavor, which is a good + thing for young people, as it trains them for future work, and to be active and + useful in the service of Christ.</p> + <p>JAMES WHARTON.</p> + <hr class="full" /> + <a name="chinese1" id="chinese1"></a> + <h2>THE CHINESE.</h2> + <h3>LETTER FROM REV. W.C. POND.</h3> + <p>Our anniversary was an occasion of much interest. The attendance was large, and + our brethren acquitted themselves well. The <i>Record-Union</i>, the principal daily + of Sacramento, published both the addresses in full.</p> + <p>We have good news from our evangelists. They are doing great good, if we can judge + at all by what we see: and they are in training, I believe, for larger and better + service in the years to come. I shall have much to write about this for the <i>next + Missionary</i>, much more than I can crowd into the space allowed me.</p> + <p>The new work at San Buenaventura opens finely. It is already one of our largest + interior schools; and two or three, possibly <i>four</i>, of the Chinese have already + been led to believe; so that before Low Quong returns he expects to organize an + Association and get Christian work into systematic operation.</p> + <p>I am greatly pleased also with the reports from Tucson. Yong Jin, who has done + excellent evangelistic work at Santa Cruz, goes to Tucson next week. He is an earnest + Christian, and though somewhat deficient in English is better educated in Chinese and + is an excellent preacher.</p> + <hr /> + <a name="chinese2" id="chinese2"></a> + <h3>FOUR MONTHS OF EVANGELISTIC WORK.</h3> + <p>BY LOW QUONG.</p> + <p>In January last I was asked to do some evangelistic work in the Northern part of + this State. The first place I visited was Oroville. There we have a branch mission + with a fine mission house, or, we might call it a Chinese church and school combined. + The church has a membership of about fifteen. The evening scholars were usually about + twenty or more. This school has a faithful teacher, and all together makes a fruitful + mission. Although I was there only about a month—yet I enjoyed the work very + much, and my acquaintance with the brethren there and their kindness to me I can + never forget. I will now give you some little incidents of my work there. The town + has about three hundred Chinese inhabitants, and most of our brethren and scholars + live in the town, but there were also a good many outside of the town. These are + mostly miners. But even these hard-working men, when they got through their day's + work, <span class="pagenum"><a name="page138" id="page138"></a>{138}</span> came to + town at night to attend our evening school; and on Sundays also, to hear the + preaching of the gospel.</p> + <p>At the end of the month, when Mr. Pond came to Oroville, we had the Lord's supper + in our little Chinese church. It was held in the evening. One far-away brother was + informed by letter, and he came over a long, rough road to attend the Lord's table. + It was about eight o'clock when he reached the church. We asked him what time he + started to walk; he said at one o'clock in the afternoon. He had walked fully seven + hours just for the Lord's supper, and early in the morning he had to walk back again + to his place, while we took the train for Marysville. During my stay at Oroville, + four members were added to the Association and one was baptized and received to the + church. We would have had two, but one had gone to work in a place sixty miles from + town. He had waited for Mr. Pond to come up for nearly a whole month, so he could be + baptized, and he had gone only a week when Mr. Pond came. Lately I have received a + letter from him, that he has returned to Oroville.</p> + <p>The Chinese inhabitants at Oroville are very kind to the Christian Chinese. They + never trouble them and always send their boys to the evening school. I heard not long + ago from their teacher, that the whole mission house has been renovated and a new + floor put down at the expense of the brethren and scholars.</p> + <hr /> + <a name="chinese3" id="chinese3"></a> + <h3>CHIN GAING IN CHINA.</h3> + <p>[EXTRACT FROM AN ADDRESS IN ALAMEDA, CAL., BY CHIN GAING.]</p> + <p>It is over eleven years since I left my home in China. Near the end of 1882 I + began to attend the mission school in San Francisco. After being there about two + years I joined the Christian Association, and six months from then I was baptized and + joined Bethany Church.</p> + <p>Two years ago I returned to China. My friends there knew that I had changed my + religion, and so, when I went back they asked me many questions.</p> + <p>My relatives wanted to know about the people in this country, what religion they + had and what gods they worshiped. And whether the Chinese who went there believed the + same as the American people.</p> + <p>I told them we believed in one God. They said, "Which one?"</p> + <p>I answered, the one that created the heaven and the earth, and all things in the + world and the sea. The God who has all power and whom we ought to worship.</p> + <p>My mother then came up and said: "Do not talk such things; we are Chinese and must + keep our customs."</p> + <p>I said I could not keep those which were against God. So they said: "If you have + anything good, then keep it."</p> + <p>While in China I could not help seeing how much the people spent in <span + class="pagenum"><a name="page139" id="page139"></a>{139}</span> foolishness. They + have so many idol processions, which cost a great deal of money. The people gladly + give to keep up their worship, as they are in darkness and know not the name of + Jesus, which is the only name under heaven given among men whereby we must be + saved.</p> + <p>But how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they + hear without a preacher?</p> + <p>And so it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel + of peace."</p> + <hr class="full" /> + <a name="bureau1" id="bureau1"></a> + <h2>BUREAU OF WOMAN'S WORK.</h2> + <p>MISS D.E.

Such is + the burdened sigh of one of our earnest, self-denying missionaries, who is upon the + mission field that she may relieve the suffering, teach the ignorant and save souls, + and for whom the days are all too short for these duties alone.</p> + <p>Have our readers ever felt the burden of unanswered letters?

Then you will surely be ready + unselfishly to</p> + <a name="bureau2" id="bureau2"></a> + <h3>SPARE OUR TEACHERS.</h3> + <p>How can it be done? Not by withholding your letters from them. If any missionaries + anywhere need words of appreciation and good cheer they are those who year after year + sacrifice social life and religious privileges to mingle with the ignorant, + uncultured—yes, and impure—that they may lift them up into the healthful + ways of righteousness. Write to them, encourage <span class="pagenum"><a + name="page140" id="page140"></a>{140}</span> them, but do not ask for a special + letter for your next missionary meeting. Tell them <i>not to write</i>, that you have + heard or can hear from them every month through their letters sent to the officers at + New York and that you learn of the work through the A.M.A. magazine. Thank them for + making this monthly missionary letter so full and interesting.</p> + <p>"But that monthly letter is a copied letter," some one answers, "and we wish our + teacher to write to us, <i>to us alone, and in her own hand</i>." Yes, it is a copied + letter in order that it may be sent to others who are interested in, and helping, the + same work, and that the missionaries' time may be given to the work about them + instead of being spent so largely in writing. But it is a fresh letter. It has the + latest monthly news and was written for you, and if not in the same hand is as truly + yours as a typewritten letter, which is the sort most of us receive and give in the + high-work pressure of now-a-days.</p> + <p>We provide <i>The American Missionary</i>, furnish our printed leaflets freely, + and will send the monthly missionary letters to all who desire to hear thus from + their contributions—as we hope all do—thus giving the very best + information that the field affords; but we most earnestly hope the missionaries may + be allowed their time for their missionary duties pressing upon them. <i>The + Missionary</i> is the word from your missionary.
