No. 5. + + * * * * * + + + AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION. + + * * * * * + + +This Number of the Missionary will reach our friends, the pastors and +the churches, about the first of June, one month before the usual +vacation time sends many of the pastors to their much-needed summer +rest, and when the churches enter upon the months of small +congregations. We wish to remind our friends that the expenditures of +a missionary society have no vacation, and to ask them that in this +remaining month, special efforts be made to prepare us for the months +when there is the usual outflow with only a small stream coming in. + +The showing of our receipts is favorable. For the seven months to +April 30th, they aggregate $158,921.20, an increase of $5,082.75 over +last year. The increase in collections and donations is $9,241.84, but +there is a decrease in legacies of $4,159.09, leaving the net increase +as above stated. On the other hand, however, the expenditure that has +been absolutely demanded by our growing work has been $23,778.24 over +the receipts. Our committee has denied many appeals pressed upon it, +from the workers in the field, for needed growth and strengthening; +but some calls have come with such urgency to save the work already in +hand, that it felt constrained to grant the additional appropriations, +and we are very confident that if our constituents had been present, +they, too, would have concurred heartily and unanimously in the votes. + +We might reasonably hope that this debtor balance would be wiped out +during the five months of our fiscal year yet before us, but there is +a special reason for anxiety that it should soon be materially +reduced. It is at this time that we are compelled to plan the work, +and make estimates, for the next fiscal year, beginning October 1st. +We are now endeavoring to cut down these estimates to the lowest +possible point, but if, before the close of June, there shall be no +marked reduction of this balance, we shall be obliged to cut still +further, even to the arresting or crippling of work already begun. We +ask our friends to rally to the rescue. + + * * * * * + + +{148} + + A NOBLE WORD FROM THE OHIO CONGREGATIONAL ASSOCIATION. + + REPORT ON THE A.M.A. BY REV. WASHINGTON GLADDEN, D.D. + +The work of the American Missionary Association appeals to the +churches of Ohio with cumulative urgency. "A.M.A.," as our stalwart +brother Pike used to say, are letters that stand for the darkened +races of this continent--the American, the Mongolian and the African. +To the Christian people of America, these tribes are entrusted; for +their enlightenment and Christianization, we are responsible. The +Government at Washington can do something toward protecting these +people in their political rights; but there is very little, after all, +that can be done for any people which does not know how to assert and +maintain its own rights. Liberty can never be a gratuity, it must +always be an achievement. Peoples, as well as individuals, must work +out their own salvation. The Negro at the South is cheated out of his +political rights, simply because he does not know how to claim them; +the Indian on the plains is defrauded of his property, because he does +not know how to protect himself. No matter how favorable the laws may +be to these hapless people, they will be oppressed and impoverished +and kept in a condition of semi-slavery, unless they know how to use +the laws in their own advantage. Education, therefore, is the only +effectual remedy for their wrongs. To awaken their minds, to arouse +the energies of hope, to show them that they are made in God's image +and that they have a right to all the liberties of the laws of God, is +the only way to complete and secure their emancipation from bondage +and from barbarism. + +This is the work to which the American Missionary Association calls us +all. It is our just pride as Congregationalists that through this +Association more has been done for the true enfranchisement of the +freedmen than through any other agency, and it is our duty to see that +this great work, in which we have borne so large and honorable a part, +halt not nor slacken in its energy because of our failure to keep its +treasury replenished and its faithful laborers re-enforced and +supported by our gifts and our prayers. + + * * * * * + + + FACTS AND FIGURES. + +The sum total of all the contributions of all the benevolent agencies +for the evangelization and education of the Negro in the South, is +seventeen cents per year for each person. + +This seventeen cents includes whatever is done in missionary colleges +and in all educational missions, as well as in the direct church work. + +In twenty-one years from 1841 to 1861 there were twenty-one crops of +cotton raised by slave labor, which aggregated 58,441,906 bales. +{149} + +In the twenty-one years from 1865 to 1885 there were twenty-one crops +of cotton which aggregated 93,389,031 bales. + +That is, by free labor there was an excess over the productions of +slave labor of 34,947,125 bales, or nearly 35,000,000 bales. The value +of 35,000,000 bales of cotton produced by free labor in excess of the +product of slave labor cannot have been less than $2,000,000,000, or +about the full valuation of all the slaves who were made free by the +war, had they been sold at the ruling prices. The gain is due not only +to the emancipation of the blacks, but to the emancipation of the +whites from enforced idleness. + +The cotton factories of the world annually require about 12,000,000 +bales of cotton, American weight. Good land in Texas produces one bale +to the acre. The world's supply of cotton could be grown on less than +19,000 square miles, or upon an area equal to only seven per cent. of +the area of Texas. + + * * * * * + + + THE COLOR-LINE QUESTION: WHAT IS IT? + +1. It is not the question of _social_ equality. No one doubts the +right of individuals, or the family, or the social circle, to draw +their lines of association and fellowship at their own pleasure, +whether at wealth, rank, fashion, talent, or anything else. To +confound this with the real question, is not candid. + +2. Still less is it the question of the inter-marriage of the races. +Here, individual preference is undeniable. To claim that this is the +question, and to ask tauntingly: "Do you want your daughter to marry a +_nigger_?" is ungentlemanly and unworthy of an answer. + +3. The question is: Shall a line be drawn between the white and black +races, giving rights and privileges in Church and State to the one +race, which are denied to the other, solely because of race or color? +In other words: Shall a line be drawn which shall separate the +Negroes, and assign them as a race to the position of inferiors +irrespective of merit or character, and merely on the ground of race +or color? + +To narrow the discussion, we leave out of view the civil or political +aspect of the question and confine ourselves to the religious, and we +propose to give a few illustrations. A Negro in every way qualified, +in character, piety, and intelligence, applies for membership in a +white church. Shall the color-line be drawn and he be refused +admission for no other reason than that he is a Negro? This does not +imply that the whites and blacks should be urged or persuaded to unite +in all churches or in any church. It may be conceded that the blacks +generally do not desire to unite with white churches, and that, in +their present state of culture, it may not always be for their +edification to do so. But where an individual Negro _does_ believe +that it would be for his edification and growth in grace to belong to +a white church, shall the color that God stamped on him, or the race +in which God gave him his birth, be a sufficient reason {150} for +refusing him? The question and the principle apply equally if the +Negro should be given to understand that while he would not actually +be refused admission, yet the preference of the church would be that +he should not apply; nay, we do not see why the principle is not the +same if the well-known attitude of the church on the race question +should be such that the Christian self-respect of the Negro would not +allow him to make the application. + +Again, shall colored churches, conferences or presbyteries be formed +on the same territory _in order that_ the colored members may not +unite with the white churches, conferences or presbyteries? Shall a +line be run between the races on the simple ground of race or color, +and irrespective of character, convenience or choice, so that the +Negro as a church member shall not be allowed to choose the church he +shall join, or as a minister the option as to his conference or +presbytery? For one race to demand such a line of separation, is to +consign the other race to a position of inferiority as humiliating as +it is discouraging. Such is the demand of race prejudice, and such the +position of inferiority in which it insists on placing the Negro. +Slavery held the Negro there, and since emancipation, this +race-separation is intended to accomplish the same purpose. The +Southern white man makes no objection to the race or color of the +Negro, but only to his position as an equal. He was not merely +tolerated, he was more than tolerated, as a slave, and he is now as a +servant. + +The present controversy in regard to the color-line is calling forth +some frank admissions from intelligent white men at the South. Thus +the Rev. Wm. H. Campbell, an Episcopal clergyman of South Carolina, +vindicates his refusal to sit in Convention with the Negroes by the +inferiority which the Almighty has stamped upon them. Mr. Campbell +says: + + "The Bishop does not understand or appreciate the reasons why some + of us cannot, under any circumstances, sit in Convention with + Negroes. The objections commonly made need not here be referred to. + The difficulty with some of us is not 'on account of color,' as it + is usually, but not with strict accuracy, put; for some Negroes are + as white as some white men, but because they are of an inferior + race, so made by the Almighty and never intended by him to be put + on an equality with the white race, in either Church or State." + +The question at issue is not one of expediency, but of principle; and, +among Christians, whether in the individual church or the +ecclesiastical body, it is a question of Christian duty to be settled +by the Divine authority of the Master himself. We propose no argument +on the subject, but content ourselves by quoting a few well-known +passages of Scripture, which, though familiar, have lost neither their +significancy nor their authority. In the end, the voice of God must be +decisive. + + "And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all + the face of the earth." + + "God hath showed me that I should call no man common or unclean." + +{151} + + "Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons, but in + every nation, he that feareth Him and worketh righteousness is + accepted with Him." + + "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, + there is neither male nor female, for ye are all one in Christ." + + "Inasmuch as ye have not done it unto one of the least of these, my + brethren, ye have not done it unto me." + + * * * * * + + +Secretary Roy, in the _Advance_, controverts the statement of the +_Herald and Presbyter_, that the Congregationalists have come to +consent to separate ecclesiastical bodies on the ground of color. Dr. +Roy supposes that this conclusion may have been jumped at because of +the formation of a new Congregational Association in Georgia, which is +an outcome from the Congregational Methodist churches there. The +_Interior_, evidently with gladness, makes the same assertion. The +_Christian Union_ replies to this, saying, "We do not think this is +true; _but, if it is, so much the worse for the Congregationalists!_" +We may say with Dr. Roy, that nothing is more certain than that in the +New Empire that is growing before our eyes, the Congregational +churches of this century will not turn towards the dark ages, and will +not put themselves to shame by refusing to fellowship with the +disciples of Christ on the ground of caste. Such a proposition would +have the scorn of our National Council. + +The Christianity of our churches will not fall behind the humanity of +Victor Hugo, who said, "I have had in my hand the gloved and white +palm of the upper class and the heavy black hand of the lower class, +and have recognized that both are the hands of man." + +The Congregational churches may not be quoted as countenancing this +great wickedness against God and man. + + * * * * * + + + FROM ADDRESS OF REV. E.T. FLEMING OF GEORGIA, IN THE BROADWAY TABERNACLE + OF NEW YORK. + +"I suppose it will be necessary to tell you that I am a Negro, that I +was born a slave. We are struggling against difficulties. We meet with +a great deal of opposition. A case comes to mind which shows something +of this opposition. I went out into what we call the Bottom District. +The church there was dirty. I went to work and got a sufficient amount +of money to buy a barrel of lime. It took me a week to get enough +money to buy a barrel of lime. Another brother and myself got the +barrel of lime there on a wheel-barrow. We whitewashed the church +inside and out, and finished the job about half-past eleven o'clock. +It was too late to return to the city, and we agreed to sleep in the +church. The next morning, I was surprised to hear a great noise on the +outside, and opening the door, looked out and saw a lean, lank, white +woman. She was calling to her daughter, "Louisa, Louisa, come here." +Her daughter {152} came to her mother and said, "My ---- ----, they +have painted the nigger church white. We must put a stop to that." +They said we would have to move the church, on the ground that they +were not going to stand anything of that kind. These are the things +that meet us in opposition there. I was myself refused admittance to a +Gospel Tent where a distinguished evangelist from the North was +preaching." + + * * * * * + + + A STRIKING STATEMENT. + +In one of the hotels in Columbia, South Carolina, among the +collections of an excellent library, is a book which bears the seal of +the State of South Carolina, giving much statistical information as to +the geological character of the State, its agricultural resources, its +mineral products and the peculiarities of its population. From its +pages, the following extract is taken, which is reproduced here for +its suggestiveness. It seems incredible, and yet the authority is +wholly Southern and has the imprint of the State. It is as follows: + + "No effort adequate to even an approximate determination + statistically of the intermixture of the White and Negro races has + as yet been undertaken. Mr. Patterson, quoted in an authoritative + work upon '_The Resources and Population of South Carolina_,' and + published by the _State Board of Agriculture_ in 1883, as one who + has given much attention to the subject, says, even now there are + no longer Negroes. One-third has a large infusion of white blood, + another third has less, but still some, and of the other third it + would be difficult to find an assured specimen of pure African + blood. This, continues the report, is a startling statement; but in + the absence of statistics, whoever puts it to the test among his + Negro acquaintance will be surprised at the degree in which it + conforms to the facts. If the lineage of those Negroes whose color + and features seem most unmistakably to mark them as of purely + African descent, be traced, indubitable evidence may often be + obtained of white parentage more or less remote." + + * * * * * + + + MISAPPLIED BENEFACTIONS. + +The judicious placing of benefaction is a large part of the good of +it. Is it wisely located? Will it be permanent? Will it be +reproductive? Will it be in the hands of persons suitably responsible +for the administration of it? Will it be under a fitting supervision? +The cause appeals to sympathy; does it also carry the mark of good +judgment? For lack of this double endorsement, not a little of +generous giving is thrown away. It is a fine piece of romance; does it +proffer a sufficient security upon the proffered investment of the +Lord's money? + +A worthy Christian woman brings the scheme. It is laid upon the +mountains of East Tennessee, thrust up into notoriety by the writing +of Charles Egbert Craddock. A lady of faith and hope and energy, {153} +proposes to build up an industrial farm-school of high quality for the +neglected girls of that mountain district. She has already been +teaching a common-school among them. She comes up to a city of New +England. She lays her plan before some of the noble women there. They +take it up without further inquiry as to the feasibility of the +undertaking. With their first contributions an old worn-out farm is +bought in the lady's name, and in the cheap farm-house a small school +is opened. The location is in an out-of-the-way neighborhood, three or +four miles from the little, old, tumble-down county seat. Now a fine +building is to be secured. The lady patrons raise their offerings up +to six thousand dollars. Fine architectural plans are devised at the +North. Meantime, speculators on the ground, who for a few cents an +acre have bought up a great quantity of land adjoining and would be +glad to sell it at a dollar an acre, have donated a hundred acres, +more or less, to the school. On this tract the building is located and +goes forward. The frame is put up and pretty much enclosed. For want +of money the enterprise comes to a stand, and now for these four years +the stranded structure has been taking damage from the storms. + +The place has been visited repeatedly by the superintendents of the +A.M.A., to find the state of the case and to see if anything could be +done to utilize the partial plant. The pastor of the lady donors +became interested to save the investment through the A.M.A., or to +stop the pouring of more funds into the venture, but after all his +correspondence and personal conference, he found that, if the whole +property were to be offered to the Association, it could not afford to +accept it and undertake to carry forward the school. It already has a +prosperous academy in that county and another in an adjoining county, +and these, wisely located in congenial communities, are all that is +needed for those and for contiguous counties. There is no way to +utilize it, Alas, "Wherefore this waste?" + +An Orphanage for colored children is a tempting charity. The A.M.A +early undertook such work. At Wilmington, N.C., and at Atlanta, Ga., +it bought lands and erected ample buildings, but the experiment +satisfied the authorities that the Association was not called to that +department of work. The children's god-fathers and god-mothers, in +devotion to their covenant, or grand-parents from personal interest, +would soon be taking them out, and others having care of them would +call them out as soon as, by some growth and training, the scholars +were made profitable for work, and so those properties were sold and +the avails put into the ordinary educational process. Then the +conclusion was reached that this was the obligation of the local +communities, and _not of foreign charity_. According to this idea, an +Orphanage in a Southern city, undertaken not by the patronage or +approval of the A.M.A., though made to appear so because the +originator had been under its commission there as a missionary, has +been transferred to a local board and to the support of the city {154} +and county. That is as it should be. Those local authorities ought to +take care of their own orphans, and not appeal to the charity of the +North to relieve them of their proper burdens of humanity. + +Another so-called Orphanage at still another Southern city, started as +an individual venture. It was allowed for a short time to have a +conditional endorsement from the A.M.A., which was soon withdrawn and +the enterprise disowned. This has swallowed up thousands of dollars of +the money of benevolence, and yet it has all the time been a sham and +a falsehood. There was nothing of it. When a lady newspaper +correspondent called to visit the institution, ten or a dozen children +from a neighboring private school were borrowed and paraded as +orphans, when at the time there were only two little children in the +concern, and they had grandparents living near and abundantly able to +take care of them. "Wherefore this waste?" + +In yet another Southern city, a couple of young ladies start a school. +Having once been under commission of the A.M.A., in connection with +its institutions, they appear to many to have its endorsement and they +make appeal to its constituents. Money comes along for a work +irresponsibly begun and without supervision. Only a year goes by +before they appeal by their leaflet-paper for several thousand dollars +to buy land and build a home and school property. Who but they shall +hold and own the property? Whose shall it be when they marry or grow +weary of the work and leave? What protection is there for such +misplaced benefaction? + +By no means would the Association seek to interfere with donations to +individuals where the donors investigate for themselves and assume the +responsibility, but it is not fair that we should be held as +apparently responsible for movements that we disown, and it is not +fair to our constituents that we should allow them to remain under the +impression that in giving to irresponsible projects, they are favoring +such as are endorsed by us. + +Thirty-five years ago the Congregational Union was initiated in the +Albany Convention on purpose to protect Eastern friends from the +miscellaneous and irresponsible and persistent solicitation for +individual church enterprise. It is the business of that Society to +receive, inspect and decide upon all such applications. Take it away +and the flood gates would be lifted again. No less in the cause of +missionary education is such discretionary service needed. + + * * * * * + + + THE NEGRO QUESTION. + +This is the title of a recent brochure by George W. Cable, published +by the American Missionary Association. With the most vigorous and +courageous devotion to the question that "is the gravest in American +affairs," Mr. Cable addresses himself to the problem and to the answer +that should be made to it. His apprehension of injustice is so keen +and true, {155} and his seriousness, in view of the weariness and +offence that the whole subject gives to a great majority of the +people, is so urgent, that the paper has been criticized as +pessimistic, and as an impatient cry against evils that are speedily +being rectified. We may say that the optimistic view of evils never +did much to correct them, and that those who are patient with wrongs +will never create a sentiment against them. To us, this seems the +voice of a prophet pleading for righteousness to man and righteousness +in the land. + + * * * * * + + + OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. + +Among the recent issues of the press, none has been more effective and +deservedly popular than the pamphlet entitled, "OUR COUNTRY," written +by our esteemed friend, Rev. Josiah Strong, D.D. It has aroused public +attention in a remarkable degree, and has opened the way for a career +of most promising usefulness to the author. + +Our only regret in reading these stirring pages, has arisen from the +fact, that in its survey it leaves almost entirely out of account +nearly one third part of our country, namely, the South, a part, too, +that contains as many elements of future trouble to the nation, and +elements, too, that if properly dealt with, can minister as largely to +the nation's future prosperity, as any other portion. Our object in +penning this item is to suggest that some man of equal diligence in +collecting facts, and of equal skill in handling them, shall write a +book entitled, "Our _Whole_ Country," that shall omit no part of it. + + * * * * * + + + A SAMPLE OF SOUTHERN CHURCH WORK. + +The Rev. G.W. McClellan, a graduate of Fisk University and recently a +student at Hartford Theological Seminary, has formed a "_Boys' +Christian Association_" in connection with his church work in +Louisville. The boys meet on Friday evenings for literary exercises, +and the following are some of the questions debated this winter. + +1. _Resolved_, That Washington was a greater general than Grant. + +2. _Resolved_, That capital punishment ought to be abolished. + +3. _Resolved_, That strikes are right and necessary. + +4. _Resolved_, That boys, as a rule, after graduation from the High +School, should go to College. + + * * * * * + + + EXTRACTS FROM EXAMINATION PAPERS. + +Question. _What was the Dred Scott decision?_ + +Answer. "The Dred Scott decision declared that slave owners could +carry their slaves into any territory except their own." +{156} + +Another Answer. "Dred Scott decision was, that protected tariff should +be kept out of the territories." + +Question. _What are ocean currents?_ + +Answer. "The Ocean currant is a celebrated meal-storm on the coast of +Norway." + + * * * * * + + + A STRAW. + +A few days since, there was an examination of candidates for positions +as teachers in the New Orleans public schools. Four of our Straight +University girls presented themselves, three graduates and one an +undergraduate, and all passed the examination, receiving respectively +94, 93, 92 and 87 per cent., and three were at once given good +positions. + + * * * * * + + + IN MEMORIAM. + +Another good man has gone to his reward. Rev. Geo. J. Tillotson, who +has perpetuated his name in the Tillotson Institute, Austin, Texas, +died March 29th, at his home in Wethersfield, Conn. His useful life +was spent in that State. He was born in Farmington, Feb. 5, 1805, was +graduated at Yale in 1825, studied theology in the Yale Seminary one +year and at Andover for two years, completing his theological studies +in 1830. He had several long pastorates, which he filled with great +fidelity and success. From 1876 he was not employed as a pastor, but +devoted himself with great assiduity to various modes of promoting the +Redeemer's kingdom. He had practised economy and had the means to +give, and this he did with a discriminating, and yet a liberal, hand. +To the founding of the Tillotson Institute, he gave not only from his +own resources, but devoted his time and energies to collecting funds +from his friends. But his benefactions were not confined to one +object; he had a broad sympathy for every good cause. He was a man of +genial temperament, and closed his useful career after a short illness +in the 84th year of his age. + + * * * * * + + + THE RADICAL FORCES OF CHRISTIANITY, AS EXHIBITED IN THE WORK OF THE + AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION. + +BY REV. J.W. COOPER, D.D. + +The work of Christ is the work of Christianity. By the "radical forces +of Christianity," we mean the simple spirit of the Master, in its +original and energetic operation. We are dealing with no abstractions, +neither are we considering the operation of human agencies. What +Christ was in his earthly ministry, that Christianity is, because of +His living presence {157} in the church to-day. Wherever we discover +the working of those principles which were exemplified in his life, +there He is present in living power, the inspirer of the endeavor, and +the strength of it. The claim that the work of the American Missionary +Association makes upon our attention, may be presented in a variety of +forms. Its work is commended to us, for example, because it is +patriotic, that is, it makes its appeal to our self-interest. The +instinct of self-preservation demands that we sustain it. Four and a +half millions of Negroes in our Southern States are utterly +illiterate. Half that number of Southern whites are in the same +deplorable condition. These men are citizens. They hold the ballot. +Our free institutions are not safe in such hands as these. Education +is an absolute necessity. This wide-spreading and dense ignorance, +among masses of free American people, must be speedily overcome. We do +not wonder, therefore, that Andrew D. White in his scholarly address, +"The Message of the 19th Century to the 20th," puts the education of +the South first among the many great and pressing problems that claim +the attention of statesmen. It is a matter of self-interest and +self-preservation. + +This work commends itself, also, because of its justice. It appeals as +a duty, to every enlightened conscience. The ignorance of the Negro, +and the degradation of the Indian, are more our fault than theirs. We +owe it to them, as a matter of simple justice, that we now make +reparation, as best we can, for the wrong done to them in the past. If +we, as a nation, have helped push them down, we ought to help lift +them up. It is a burden which stern justice lays upon us. + +But I turn from all such impressive arguments as these, to find +another and altogether different motive to this work, one which the +statesman may consider of little worth, the appeal of which mere +conscience may not feel, but, which to the Christian heart must ever +be more powerful and persuasive than all other motives that can be +named. This work commends itself to us, because it is a Christly work. +The spirit of the Master is in it. The radical forces of Christianity +are exemplified by it. This Society may stand forth before the world +to-day, and without any sacrifice of humility or reverence, opening +the book and finding the place where it is written, it may say, in +concert with the Master himself, "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon +me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, he +hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim deliverance to +the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound, to +proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord that He might be glorified." +And here is its strongest claim upon our sympathy and support. + +That this representation is not an exaggerated one, and that the claim +is in no way over-stated, we shall see more clearly as the comparison +is followed out in detail. The work which this Association has in hand +will {158} bear the test of analysis. It is not only a Christian work, +it is a work which, from the beginning, has called into exercise the +fundamental principles of Christianity. It exemplifies Christianity in +its most original and essential features. + + I.--A RADICAL FAITH. + +As I look into this work, the first thing that impresses me is the +faith that inspired it. It was a most sublime undertaking. It began, +so far as relates to its present fields of labor, with the millions of +freedmen just emancipated from two and a half centuries of bondage. +What this bondage signified, this present generation will find it +difficult to realize. For years it had been a crime to teach them the +alphabet. They had been bought and sold like cattle. Their lives were +a daily school in sensual immorality, deceit and dishonesty. Every +manly aspiration, and womanly feeling, was smothered at its birth. +They had come from savagery to slavery, and in a day, without training +or preparation, they were set free. It is no wonder that they were +ignorant, indolent, degraded and despised. As one of their own number +says, "We came into bondage naked and destitute of worldly goods, we +went out of it penniless, homeless and almost characterless." Now it +was this mass of degraded humanity that this Association set itself to +elevate and Christianize, and it did it with a calm assurance and +serene hope which no obstacle has as yet been able to disturb. The +road has been a long and hard one, but it did not anticipate an easy +time or miraculous success. It has met with new and perhaps unexpected +difficulties. It may be that all the workers would say what the +President of Talladega writes in a recent letter, "The magnitude of +the obstacles are more and more real to me as I live and work." But +they still live and they still work, never doubting the final result. +If you want to find men who have undying faith in the future of the +black race, go to those who, in the spirit of their Master, are +toiling night and day, under the commission of this Society, for its +elevation. + +In the same spirit, also, this Association has welcomed new labors and +entered into new fields. When Chinamen were to be Christianized, +immediately it had great faith for the Chinese. When the Indian +missions were laid upon it, then it saw wonderful possibilities in the +red man. And now, last of all, when some million or two of +long-forgotten and neglected "Mountain Whites" are brought to its +attention, it sees in these abjectly poor, dispirited and +superstitious people, only another opportunity for elevating humanity, +and proving the power of Christianity to restore the lost manhood of +every race. + +These servants of God are not engaged in a forlorn hope. They have +faith. Wherever they work there they expect results, not only in the +saving of individual souls, but in regenerating whole races of men. A +Christian woman, missionary to the poor whites among the mountains of +East {159} Tennessee, under the inspiration of her great faith, writes +home to her friends, "We can almost hear the bells ring in unreared +steeples, and hear the songs from choirs that are as yet totally +oblivious to the spirit of melody, and enter into the heart-worship of +the prayer meetings that are to be when shall have been fulfilled the +prophecy, that 'to the people which sat in darkness and the shadow of +death, light is sprung up'." Such buoyant, hopeful faith as this, so +clear and beautiful in its confidence in the promises of God, is one +of the "radical forces" which command, while they inspire, this holy +work. + + II.--A RADICAL LOVE. + +But what may be called the special characteristic of this Society +among missionary organizations doing work in our own land, that which +establishes its special claim upon hearts of Christian people, is the +radical spirit of love there is in it. It exemplifies in a most +practical way, the brotherhood of man. It repudiates caste. It is +absolutely color-blind. It works for the despised. It helps those who +are themselves the most helpless. This is no newly-discovered fact. I +remember the first sermon I ever heard in behalf of this work, more +than twenty years ago; it was drawn from the Parable of the Good +Samaritan. The text was, "Who is my neighbor?" The address of the +honored late President of this Association at the close of the last +Annual Meeting which he attended, was in the trend of this very same +Scripture. "This organization," he said, "is the Good Samaritan, +loving to bestow its aid upon the poorest and most despised, the most +severely wounded races of our country." The sermon, a score of years +ago, told us that our neighbor was the Negro, just then made free. So +said President Washburn, "If you can point out to this organization +any race that needs its assistance, whether colored or white, there is +the legitimate field of this Association." + +It would seem that a law so emphatically taught by Jesus Christ as the +common brotherhood of man, and so familiar to the world, would long +ago have been accepted and adopted in the practice of Christian +nations, especially by a Christian Republic within its own borders. +But, instead of that, it is the hardest of all laws for us to learn +and the most difficult of all to put in operation. Our policy toward +the general colored races in this land has been one of cold-hearted +and cruel selfishness. As ex-Senator Brace has said, speaking in +behalf of his own people, "From the red race was taken their lands, +from the yellow their labor, from the black their persons. The red +race was gradually driven toward a setting sun; the yellow race, the +rabble demanded to be driven from the country; the black man was a +slave in chains, with no rights which the Constitution recognized." + +These unjust prejudices are by no means altogether a thing of the +past. They are not as violent as they once were, thanks to the +influence {160} of this Association, but they still exist. "Niggers," +are still ordered out of Southern churches. Many a professed Christian +still wants his Indian "dead." This work has all along been compelled +to fight its way against suspicion, bigotry and hatred; it must do so +still, because it recognizes man as man, whether his skin be white or +black, red or yellow; and, in taking this radical ground, it is +interpreting to the world the benevolent spirit of the Saviour, and is +preparing the way for that universal reign of love on earth which He +came to establish. Such a work as this is the salvation of our +Christianity. Without it, one of the chief evidences for Christianity +would be taken away, and the spirit of it would die. Standing before a +congregation of white men, Negroes and Indians, with a Chinamen or two +to make the tale complete, President Mark Hopkins last May dedicated +the new chapel at Hampton to the worship of Almighty God. He voiced +the sentiment of this whole Association when he said, "Here will be +taught and promoted a Christianity as narrow in its creed as revealed +truth, and as broad in its love as humanity!" "A creed as narrow as +revealed truth." Yes! we want no inspirations from outside the sacred +book. "A love as broad as humanity." By all means, yes! for no smaller +measure will satisfy the demands of that book or fulfil the will of +the Master. + + III.--A RADICAL CONSECRATION. + +Another principle required in this work and exemplified by it, is a +thorough-going consecration. The men and women who have taken up this +work, have followed Christ in his self-abnegation. There is no worldly +honor in it. It is not an easy life. You know well enough how these +devoted missionaries have braved social ostracism, and shut themselves +in to their lowly ministry. With the Christly "sympathy of +identification," they have made themselves one with their despised +brethren, bearing their burdens, sharing their privations, stooping to +meet their needs. What almost infinite patience it has sometimes +required, what forbearance and charity, we cannot know, but they have +served willingly and cheerfully, and found the sacrifice to be a joy. +And there are many of them, in school and church and home, in our +Southern land and in the Western wilds, who are serving there in a +spirit of self-abnegation and patient sacrifice, and whom God will +honor. These faithful workers are not martyrs; but there is something +heroic in their lives. It is the heroism of those who lay upon +themselves the lowliest duties, and perform them in the spirit of the +loftiest devotion. The work that calls forth such consecration as +this, so disinterested and sincere, bears its own letter of +commendation. The spirit of Him, who "came to minister, and to give +his life a ransom for many," is exemplified by it. + + IV.--A RADICAL METHOD. + +There is one thing more that I would mention. It is the radical {161} +method which this Association has adopted in doing its work. It has +never been satisfied with surface culture. It strikes down to the +roots of character. Not "quantity," but "quality," is manifestly its +motto. As an illustration of intelligent thoroughness in Christian +service, therefore, this Association commends itself to our regard. + +A decided advance was marked in missionary work when the church came +to see that not only the conversion of the heathen, but their +establishment in Christian character, was a legitimate object of +missionary endeavor. Francis Xavier in ten years visited fifty +kingdoms and baptized a million converts, but the ten years' labor of +some of our modern missionaries, spent in laying solid foundations and +thoroughly training a few chosen men, may, after all, come to more in +its permanent results upon the world, than all that was done by Rome's +great apostle. Jesus gave the best part of his three years of public +ministry to the training of twelve men. He might have baptised a +million. He preferred to do thorough work with a few. This Association +has acted upon this principle. It has sought to develop manhood and +womanhood after the pattern and by the power that is in Jesus Christ. +It calls to its aid every possible force. It educates the mind, the +heart, the conscience, the hand. It uses the church, the school, the +workshop and the Christian home. Character-building is its vocation, +the foundation Jesus Christ, the superstructure such as should stand +the test of fire. These oppressed races need above all things else +leaders from among themselves. It has been the endeavor of this +Society to furnish them--men and women of such moral and mental +quality as shall be fitted for the responsible position. They have +been taught to think, to work and to live. Because labor is a moral +force in establishing character, industrial education is introduced. +Nothing is too great to be attempted, nothing too trivial to be +omitted, the object always being the substantial development of moral +and Christian character. + +Such is this mission. It has gone forth in the spirit of Christ, with +faith and love and consecration, seeking to do an honest work with +thoroughness. God's blessing has been upon it. It has results to show +in the renovated and ennobled lives of thousands who have been the +subjects of its ministry; and its broader influence in the elevation +of the oppressed and despised races, begins even now to be clearly +apparent. It has been a faithful monitor to the churches which have +sustained it, an inspirer of their benevolence, an almoner of their +gifts, and an honor to their name. And beyond all this, standing for +those principles which are most essential and fundamental in +Christianity, it has glorified God by exhibiting to the world the +power of Christian faith and sacrifice. Those who have been bound of +Satan, lo, these many years, are loosed from their bonds and made free +in Christ. War has struck off the chains of human bondage. Love shall +now complete the emancipation. + + * * * * * + + +{162} + +THE SOUTH. + + * * * * * + + + "NOTES IN THE SADDLE." + +BY REV. C.J. RYDER, DISTRICT SECRETARY. + +The following, which was taken from the public records of a _white_ +school in Tennessee, illustrates the intellectual condition of a +portion of the white citizens of that and the other Southern States. +It also shows what kind of men have charge of public instruction in +some districts throughout the South. + + "TENN July --, 188-. + + "Rulus for scoul No 4. + + Teacher will not low the scoulars to scouful or clime or swhisparn + in time of Books; the Teacher can ad eney rulus to this he thinks + needud and eney Larg secular can not comer ounder rulus will have + to quit the scoul." + +These "rulus," as the word is spelled, were signed by two members of +the School Board by whom they were written. How strange, that in +localities in which there is such frightful illiteracy the school +authorities should fail to welcome, with large-hearted cordiality, +teachers who come among them. The white people, as well as the +colored, need missionary schools, as the illiteracy among them is +appalling. + +Think of it! Seven-tenths of one per cent. of the native white +population of Massachusetts are illiterate, while twenty-three per +cent. of the native white population of Georgia, and thirty-one per +cent. of the same population of North Carolina are illiterate!! Why +should not Georgia be proud of her educated (?) citizens, and do all +she dare to drive some of the best teachers there are in the State +outside her borders? + + * * * * * + + +Right in this connection it would be interesting to read the following +letter. A brief word of history, however, is necessary that it may be +understood. In 1878, a young man, a graduate of one of the leading New +England colleges, enlisted in the great army of A.M.A. teachers. He +was a quiet, unassuming, Christian student. The amazing ignorance of +the Southern people, both white and black, awoke his pity; and his +love, for his Saviour, and for his country, led him to give himself to +this most needy field. He was embarrassed and badgered by those who +ought to have welcomed him, and helped him in his work. This mean and +unworthy opposition with which our A.M.A. teachers are so familiar, +culminated in his case, in a series of letters in which his _life_ was +threatened. It was just before the election of President Cleveland. +There was evidently, a well-matured plan to drive him out of the +community, and to intimidate the Negroes so that they would not dare +to vote. The following was one of these letters: +{163} + + "Mr ---- deer Sir It is for your own good That I write This letter + to you you are an advocate for Social Equality with the white and + the Black race and the People are not going to Put up with any Such + doings and I write you this letter to warn you of The danger and + the great danger That you are in You must leve The country right + away for The People have Pledged Them Seves to get you out of the + contry or Kill you and That in a mity Short time Now as a frend I + do beg you to give this matter your emmediate attention I am very + truly your well wisher meaning Exactly wat I Say" + +I saw all these letters, and received this one from the hand of this +Christian hero. He said to me:--"I went to bed a good many nights +thinking that quite possibly I should be dragged out of my bed, and +beaten or hanged before morning." Notwithstanding this, he wrote on +the outside of the envelope the following words, and passed them +around among those whom he knew to be conspirators against him: + + "In answer to the enclosed, I will say to my 'Democratic and + inquiring friends,' that I expect to leave on or before Jan. 1st, + 1940, and that though I hoped to vote for 'St. John and + Prohibition,' I have now decided to vote for 'Blaine and the + Protection of all citizens in their political and civil rights.'" + +When he gave me this letter, he took a promise that it should not be +published until after his death. He passed away in the triumph of his +sweet, but heroic faith a few months ago. He died where he had +suffered and dared for Christ's sake, in the midst of this ignorance +and sin. + +Such stories as his ought to be told. It is cowardly timidity for +those of us who know them, to keep them from the Christian public. +Heroes and heroines answer to the roll-call of A.M.A. workers. I have +met them and mingled with them, the past three years, and I know the +sinew and fibre of their courageous faith. You, who send them out, and +who support them in the field, ought to know what they endure, and +hear, now and then, an incident of their heroism. + + * * * * * + + +Two cases of heroic self-denial have come under my notice recently. In +Macon there lives a colored woman whose husband is in an Insane +Asylum. Their home was recently burned to the ground. She has four +{164} small children with her, the eldest of whom is eleven years old, +who are dependent upon her for support. She earns just eight dollars +per month, and yet she sends one girl, aged fifteen, to Atlanta +University! + +A young man, whose father was a white man and who is himself a blonde, +has been urgently invited by his white grandmother to come to her home +and take the position of her son's child. She is a wealthy woman, +owning a large plantation. The young man's father, her son, is dead. +The boy would have all the privileges of a wealthy young white man and +inherit the property on his grandmother's death. The sole condition +which the grandmother makes is that he shall give up all association +with his octoroon mother and refuse to recognize her in any way. Thank +God, the boy is too true to his gentle and loving mother to enter into +any such arrangement, even though the bribe offered is thousands of +dollars and a social position of great attractiveness. There is a +great deal of this quiet but heroic self-sacrifice among the colored +people in the South, that never finds its way into print. + + * * * * * + + + THE ALABAMA ASSOCIATION. + +PRESIDENT H.S. DEFOREST. + +The thirteenth annual meeting of the Alabama Association was held at +Salma, March 30th to April 3d, when the floods were at their highest, +yet fourteen of our seventeen churches were represented. The +Sunday-school Association convened a day earlier, and one afternoon +the Woman's Missionary Association had a session by itself. + +The opening sermon by Professor Andrews, was a powerful exposition of +Christian love, from the 13th of 1st Corinthians. One evening was +given to the higher, Christian education; one to three papers on "How +to Secure Homes," "The Home Indoors," and "Home Piety;" and the last +to three phases of the temperance question. Pastor C.B. Curtis, whose +church most generously entertained the Association, read a very +suggestive paper on "Self Support of the Churches," a pressing and +difficult question. Almost of necessity, when there is so much to be +done, and the resources are so small compared with the magnitude of +the undertakings, practical rather than theoretical questions come to +the front and engage earnest attention. + +After a most satisfactory examination, six young men from the +Theological Department of Talladega College were licensed to preach, +and it is noteworthy, that, besides this latest gift of Talladega to +the ministry, eleven of the fourteen churches represented at this +meeting of the Association are ministered to by Talladega College or +its graduates. It is a wonder that some man wishing to put a +comparatively small sum of money where it would increase with a +compound interest of blessedness till the latter-day glories have +fully come, does not endow the chair of Theology at Talladega, and his +brothers take up the same line of usefulness till both {165} College +and Seminary are presided for. Some who were taking the rudiments of +learning here but a few years ago, and who have continued their +training at very email expense, are now acceptably filling difficult +and responsible positions in school, in business and in church. There +is more of this work to be done, and to be allowed to help seems a +privilege precious enough to make life vastly desirable. + + * * * * * + + + TEMPERANCE WORK IN OUR SCHOOLS. + + Our esteemed neighbor at 58 Reade Street, Mr. J.N. Stearns, + Publishing Agent of the National Temperance Society, recently made + a visit to Florida. On his return trip, he visited several of the + A.M.A. schools in the South, and his practiced eye of course + detected the facts in regard to temperance instruction and + influence. We quote the following items: + +At Beach Institute, Savannah, under care of the American Missionary +Association, Miss A.A. Holmes principal, I found 230 pupils and a +strong temperance sentiment. The entire school receives sound +temperance instruction. Stirring temperance songs ring through the +halls. A Band of Hope holds regular meetings. "Mother Goose and Her +Temperance Family," was performed with great satisfaction by the +pupils, and a photograph group of the actors taken and preserved as a +memento of the occasion. "Alcohol and Hygiene" and the "Catechism on +Alcohol" are among the studies. + +At Charleston I found Avery Institute slowly recovering from the +effects of the earthquake which effectually scattered its students. +Over 200, however, were now in attendance, under the auspices of the +American Missionary Association, with Professor M.A. Holmes principal. +Temperance is a cardinal virtue here, but they greatly need a +temperance library and other literature. All these schools have a +severe struggle to sustain their ordinary work, and must depend +largely upon outside help for temperance literature. They can use to +great advantage and carefully distribute, without expense, to the +community round about if only the material is furnished. + +At Wilmington, N.C., a great work has been accomplished. It has 20,000 +inhabitants, 12,000 of which are colored. In 1881, when the vote on +prohibition was taken in the State, it was all against the +proposition. A wonderful change for the better has taken place. I had +a most pleasant visit to Gregory Institute of 250 pupils, Mr. George +A. Woodard principal. This is also under the American Missionary +Association. "Alcohol and Hygiene" is taught in the higher branches +and temperance pervades every department. An open temperance society, +with Rev. George S. Rollins president, holds regular evening meetings, +with temperance songs, recitations, dialogues, essays and speeches, +for entertainment and instruction. The regular meeting occurred the +evening I was in town, and I greatly enjoyed the exercises. Carolina +Mills was proposed for {166} membership, and a committee of three +appointed to "investigate and report." The report was "favorable," and +read in regular order and adopted. The candidate came forward to take +the pledge, and proved to be a young man of genuine African descent. +The entire programme was rendered with great credit to all concerned. + + * * * * * + + +THE INDIANS. + + LETTER FROM AN INDIAN CHIEF IN DAKOTA. + + My Dear Sir:----Will you Please I have got your letter and I was + vey glad--and vey Good letter--and I tell My Indian friends all + good men and We are vey glad to see your good paper.

WOLFE, Chief. + + * * * * * + + +THE CHINESE. + + EVANGELISTIC WORK. + +It is now nearly five months since our evangelists went forth, and the +record of their work, if I had both grace and space to give it in +graphic detail, could not but interest the readers of the MISSIONARY. +Chin Toy was to labor in our more northern missions, viz., Stockton, +Sacramento, Marysville and Oroville, and Loo Quong was to go south to +Santa Barbara and San Diego and certain other cities where Chinese had +congregated, but in which there appeared to be none to care for their +souls. Subsequently another brother entered the field, Yong Jin, +laboring first at Santa Cruz, and now at Tucson, Arizona. + +The intention was to give one month of service at each mission, and +one gratifying feature of our experience has been that at no point has +this {167} one month been deemed sufficient. In every case an urgent +plea has come for a longer visit and a larger work. In some cases, as +with Chin Toy in Sacramento, and Loo Quong at San Diego, it has been +necessary to yield to these appeals. The work needed could not be +fulfilled in the month assigned. But in general we have adhered to the +original plan, so as to cover the whole field. + +The results have justified the undertaking. The work of these brethren +has been greatly blessed, first of all, to those who were already +believers in Jesus. They have been taught the truth more perfectly. +They have had their conceptions of a Christian's duty and a +Christian's privileges raised. They have been brought into closer +harmony with each other. It is too much to expect, perhaps, in view of +facts as they transpire in churches of American Christians--Christians +"to the manner born"--that our little groups of Chinese believers born +as "aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the +covenants of promise," should be free from all envies and jealousies, +walking always in brotherly love. We wish it were so, but our wish is, +as yet, but partially fulfilled. Our evangelists have so presented +Christ, and so magnified the duty and the blessing of brotherly love, +and so exercised, also, their gifts of Christian diplomacy, as to +become peace-makers, and to restore a truly spiritual order at points +where chaos seemed impending. + +They have been "in labors abundant." The following from Yong Jin, at +Santa Cruz, puts in fewest words their ordinary work: "This school has +nineteen or twenty scholars. About sixteen come to take the lesson +every evening. Mrs. Willett teach and I teach. [_i.e._ during the +usual school session from 7 till 9 p.m.] After the school is out, I +teach them the Bible lesson about half so long. [_i.e._ from 9.15 till +10.15 p.m.] Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings gave them the Bible +lesson of Chinese. Wednesday and Friday evenings, the Bible lesson of +English. Saturday evenings we have meeting. Sunday noon, I did preach +in the street--three times since I came here." With this is associated +constant visiting of such Chinese as either cannot or will not attend +the school, seeking to sow beside all waters. Also study; in some +cases aided through the kindness of some resident pastor, for these +brethren have entered upon this work untrained except in the work +itself, and one point of greatest moment in their present service is +to learn how to render better service in the years to come. Street +preaching is undertaken wherever possible. What a hearing can be +secured if only some American Christians will cooperate, was well +illustrated in the experience of Loo Quong at San Diego. I cite the +following sentences: "This afternoon we have a grand time in preaching +the good news of Jesus to the Chinese. There were more than _ten_ good +people who had gathered there to help me in the singing. After half an +hour of hard talk, [_i.e._, earnest laborious speaking,] then Mr. +Kirby, an old gentleman, next is Rev. Dr. Harwood, then a stranger. +{168} + +All these speakings I have put in Chinese and they were listened to by +at least a thousand Chinese and whites. Among the helpers were Mrs. +Noble and Mrs. McKensie and the whole family of Rev. Dr. Harwood. +Besides these were many other good Christian ladies who stood around +me and were given willing lips to join the singing. I cannot tell you +all about our street preaching here. I will leave it for you to think +about and enjoy. Amen." + +God has used this preaching of the Word, not only to edify the +brethren, but to bring men to repentance. The numbers may seem small +when compared with those reported by our American evangelists laboring +among the tens of thousands in our great cities, but, under the +circumstances, they are very cheering. At Stockton, 1; Sacramento, 1; +San Buenaventura, 3; San Diego, 3; Oakland, 4; San Francisco, 5; +Tucson, 5; Santa Barbara, 7; Santa Cruz, 11. Total 40. This is the +harvest of the past five months. If the work of the whole year should +yield corresponding returns, it will be the most fruitful of our whole +history. Much remains unsaid, for which I may find space hereafter. + +WM. C. POND. + + * * * * * + + +The Chinese have been considered by many impervious to Christian +influence, but the following paragraph shows that by "deeds, not +words," the Oriental, sometimes, expresses his gratitude. Sometime ago +a Chinaman in a Sunday-school was taken ill, and, through the +influence of its superintendent, admission to a hospital was secured, +until he was able to return to his native land. But no word of thanks +was given for the faithful care and unwearied attentions he had +received, and only the assurance of the Master's approbation cheered +the hearts of those who had sowed the gospel truth in his name. The +weeks went by, when from over the sea came a living testimony of the +gratitude of this Chinamen in the form of his young son, whom he had +sent to America with the injunction to find the unforgotten +superintendent, and go to her Sunday-school. For five months now he +has been under her care, and at the recent reception given by the +Chinese scholars to their teachers, on their New Year, he wrote in a +clear, well-defined hand, every word correctly spelled, this letter to +his teacher, who had sent him her regrets that she could not be +present. + + My Dear Teacher: + + I thank you for your letter. I am sorry you could not come to the + supper last Monday night. I am glad you can teach me every Sunday. + I like to go to Sunday-school. Please write to me again. + + Yours truly---- + +Five months ago this boy was unable to speak or understand a word of +English; now he can read, write, and repeat the Lord's Prayer from +memory, a task he studied long and patiently to accomplish. + + * * * * * + + +{169} + +BUREAU OF WOMAN'S WORK. + +MISS D.E.

The +meeting was well attended, and encouraging reports were had from many +of the auxiliaries. The advantage of the local missionary societies to +the church and Sunday-school work was emphasized, and a desire for +more thorough local work was very apparent in the meeting. Many +subjects of interest were discussed. Among them the following: +Industrial Training in our Schools; Industrial Training in our Homes; +Should there be a Woman's Missionary Society in every church? If so, +the reason why every sister in the church should be a member; What +shall we do to make our Local Societies more active? + +Greetings of the Second Woman's Temperance Union of Alabama, were +presented at this meeting. This Union is composed of colored women of +various views, together with Northern missionaries and teachers. There +is no doubt that their work for purity and sobriety is most efficient, +yet this Union can have no dealings with the other Union, though color +hinders neither of the vices which the Unions oppose. + + * * * * * + + +The Woman's Home Missionary Union of Michigan leads with "Lesson +Leaves" for its auxiliaries on the work of the different National +Societies. We give the programme for the A.M.A. for the benefit of any +who may wish to follow this example. + +_Hymn._--"Work, for the night is coming." + +_Bible Reading._--I Chronicles 29: 1-18. +{170} + +_Special Subject for Prayer_.--That obstacles in the way of the speedy +coming of Christ be removed. + +_First Topic_.--When, Where and How did this Society originate? (See +"History of American Missionary Association," also "A Catechism.") + +_Second Topic_.--What are some of the results and a general summary of +the work done in forty-six years? (See same papers, and also "Pamphlet +No. 10--Forty Years of Missionary Work, Past and Present.") + +_Third Topic_.--What are the four grand divisions of its work, and +where are its various fields of operations? (See same papers.) + +_Fourth Topic_.--When was the Bureau of Woman's Work organized, and +what is its special department? (See "Forty Years of Missionary +Labor," page 17; also, Leaflet "Bureau of Woman's Work," "Freed Women +of the South," and "Sewing Needed.") + +For pamphlets and leaflets mentioned above, apply to Miss D.E. +Emerson, 56 Reade St., New York. + + * * * * * + + +The ladies in the North who are engaged in every good work for the +Lord will be glad to find that there are those in the South who share +their burdens, and their faith, also. The letter below was written by +one of our most intelligent and earnest Christian workers--a colored +lady educated in one of our schools. + +"Our usual lines of work have gone on with about the same results, +except among the women. Our Woman's Prayer Meeting shows unusual +fervor, and we are expecting to make this meeting _felt_ in the +community and church. Satan seems on the war-path, and we women feel +that we must be wide-awake and closer to the Lord, if the power of +evil is to be checked. In our last meeting the one feeling each +expressed was: 'What can _I_ do? I feel that I am called to work for +the Master, but _what_ can I do for Christ?' In the struggle for +bread, the time of many of the women is used all the day; then the +house must be cared for, and when this is done, strength fails. I +tried to impress the thought that much is gained when a soul is +anxious to work for the Lord, and that such a soul will not be left +unguided, which seemed to comfort many a tired mother. + +"_My_ difficulty is different. I am perplexed to know which of the +many phases of Christian work to adopt for these women, and how to +keep up interest and attendance without multiplying meetings. I am +confident that our regular four weekly meetings and the regular +monthly meetings are all they can attend, yet they _need_ others. I am +often reminded of my dear mother's prayer which she used to cry out +when greatly tried in the days of slavery: 'Oh! for Job's patience and +Joshua's resolution, that we might all pull together like Pharaoh's +horses.' And I would add: 'Oh! for Solomon's wisdom and Samson's +strength, that we might understand and do the Lord's work.'" + + * * * * * + + +{171} + +RECEIPTS FOR APRIL, 1888. + + MAINE, $224.38. + +Acton.

We wish to remind our friends that the + expenditures of a missionary society have no vacation, and to ask them that in this + remaining month, special efforts be made to prepare us for the months when there is + the usual outflow with only a small stream coming in.</p> + <p>The showing of our receipts is favorable. For the seven months to April 30th, they + aggregate $158,921.20, an increase of $5,082.75 over last year. The increase in + collections and donations is $9,241.84, but there is a decrease in legacies of + $4,159.09, leaving the net increase as above stated. On the other hand, however, the + expenditure that has been absolutely demanded by our growing work has been $23,778.24 + over the receipts. Our committee has denied many appeals pressed upon it, from the + workers in the field, for needed growth and strengthening; but some calls have come + with such urgency to save the work already in hand, that it felt constrained to grant + the additional appropriations, and we are very confident that if our constituents had + been present, they, too, would have concurred heartily and unanimously in the + votes.</p> + <p>We might reasonably hope that this debtor balance would be wiped out during the + five months of our fiscal year yet before us, but there is a special reason for + anxiety that it should soon be materially reduced. It is at this time that we are + compelled to plan the work, and make estimates, for the next fiscal year, beginning + October 1st. We are now endeavoring to cut down these estimates to the lowest + possible point, but if, before the close of June, there shall be no marked reduction + of this balance, we shall be obliged to cut still further, even to the arresting or + crippling of work already begun. We ask our friends to rally to the rescue.</p> + <hr /> + <a name="editorial2" id="editorial2"></a> <span class="pagenum"><a name="page148" + id="page148"></a>{148}</span> + <h3>A NOBLE WORD FROM THE OHIO CONGREGATIONAL ASSOCIATION.</h3> + <h4>REPORT ON THE A.M.A. BY REV. WASHINGTON GLADDEN, D.D.</h4> + <p>The work of the American Missionary Association appeals to the churches of Ohio + with cumulative urgency. "A.M.A.," as our stalwart brother Pike used to say, are + letters that stand for the darkened races of this continent—the American, the + Mongolian and the African. To the Christian people of America, these tribes are + entrusted; for their enlightenment and Christianization, we are responsible. The + Government at Washington can do something toward protecting these people in their + political rights; but there is very little, after all, that can be done for any + people which does not know how to assert and maintain its own rights. Liberty can + never be a gratuity, it must always be an achievement. Peoples, as well as + individuals, must work out their own salvation. The Negro at the South is cheated out + of his political rights, simply because he does not know how to claim them; the + Indian on the plains is defrauded of his property, because he does not know how to + protect himself. No matter how favorable the laws may be to these hapless people, + they will be oppressed and impoverished and kept in a condition of semi-slavery, + unless they know how to use the laws in their own advantage. Education, therefore, is + the only effectual remedy for their wrongs. To awaken their minds, to arouse the + energies of hope, to show them that they are made in God's image and that they have a + right to all the liberties of the laws of God, is the only way to complete and secure + their emancipation from bondage and from barbarism.</p> + <p>This is the work to which the American Missionary Association calls us all. It is + our just pride as Congregationalists that through this Association more has been done + for the true enfranchisement of the freedmen than through any other agency, and it is + our duty to see that this great work, in which we have borne so large and honorable a + part, halt not nor slacken in its energy because of our failure to keep its treasury + replenished and its faithful laborers re-enforced and supported by our gifts and our + prayers.</p> + <hr /> + <a name="editorial3" id="editorial3"></a> + <h3>FACTS AND FIGURES.</h3> + <p>The sum total of all the contributions of all the benevolent agencies for the + evangelization and education of the Negro in the South, is seventeen cents per year + for each person.</p> + <p>This seventeen cents includes whatever is done in missionary colleges and in all + educational missions, as well as in the direct church work.</p> + <p>In twenty-one years from 1841 to 1861 there were twenty-one crops of cotton raised + by slave labor, which aggregated 58,441,906 bales.</p> + <span class="pagenum"><a name="page149" id="page149"></a>{149}</span> + <p>In the twenty-one years from 1865 to 1885 there were twenty-one crops of cotton + which aggregated 93,389,031 bales.</p> + <p>That is, by free labor there was an excess over the productions of slave labor of + 34,947,125 bales, or nearly 35,000,000 bales. The value of 35,000,000 bales of cotton + produced by free labor in excess of the product of slave labor cannot have been less + than $2,000,000,000, or about the full valuation of all the slaves who were made free + by the war, had they been sold at the ruling prices. The gain is due not only to the + emancipation of the blacks, but to the emancipation of the whites from enforced + idleness.</p> + <p>The cotton factories of the world annually require about 12,000,000 bales of + cotton, American weight. Good land in Texas produces one bale to the acre. The + world's supply of cotton could be grown on less than 19,000 square miles, or upon an + area equal to only seven per cent. of the area of Texas.</p> + <hr /> + <a name="editorial4" id="editorial4"></a> + <h3>THE COLOR-LINE QUESTION: WHAT IS IT?</h3> + <p>1. It is not the question of <i>social</i> equality. No one doubts the right of + individuals, or the family, or the social circle, to draw their lines of association + and fellowship at their own pleasure, whether at wealth, rank, fashion, talent, or + anything else. To confound this with the real question, is not candid.</p> + <p>2. Still less is it the question of the inter-marriage of the races. Here, + individual preference is undeniable. To claim that this is the question, and to ask + tauntingly: "Do you want your daughter to marry a <i>nigger</i>?" is ungentlemanly + and unworthy of an answer.</p> + <p>3. The question is: Shall a line be drawn between the white and black races, + giving rights and privileges in Church and State to the one race, which are denied to + the other, solely because of race or color? In other words: Shall a line be drawn + which shall separate the Negroes, and assign them as a race to the position of + inferiors irrespective of merit or character, and merely on the ground of race or + color?</p> + <p>To narrow the discussion, we leave out of view the civil or political aspect of + the question and confine ourselves to the religious, and we propose to give a few + illustrations. A Negro in every way qualified, in character, piety, and intelligence, + applies for membership in a white church. Shall the color-line be drawn and he be + refused admission for no other reason than that he is a Negro? This does not imply + that the whites and blacks should be urged or persuaded to unite in all churches or + in any church. It may be conceded that the blacks generally do not desire to unite + with white churches, and that, in their present state of culture, it may not always + be for their edification to do so. But where an individual Negro <i>does</i> believe + that it would be for his edification and growth in grace to belong to a white church, + shall the color that God stamped on him, or the race in which God gave him his birth, + be a sufficient reason <span class="pagenum"><a name="page150" + id="page150"></a>{150}</span> for refusing him? The question and the principle apply + equally if the Negro should be given to understand that while he would not actually + be refused admission, yet the preference of the church would be that he should not + apply; nay, we do not see why the principle is not the same if the well-known + attitude of the church on the race question should be such that the Christian + self-respect of the Negro would not allow him to make the application.</p> + <p>Again, shall colored churches, conferences or presbyteries be formed on the same + territory <i>in order that</i> the colored members may not unite with the white + churches, conferences or presbyteries? Shall a line be run between the races on the + simple ground of race or color, and irrespective of character, convenience or choice, + so that the Negro as a church member shall not be allowed to choose the church he + shall join, or as a minister the option as to his conference or presbytery? For one + race to demand such a line of separation, is to consign the other race to a position + of inferiority as humiliating as it is discouraging. Such is the demand of race + prejudice, and such the position of inferiority in which it insists on placing the + Negro. Slavery held the Negro there, and since emancipation, this race-separation is + intended to accomplish the same purpose. The Southern white man makes no objection to + the race or color of the Negro, but only to his position as an equal. He was not + merely tolerated, he was more than tolerated, as a slave, and he is now as a + servant.</p> + <p>The present controversy in regard to the color-line is calling forth some frank + admissions from intelligent white men at the South. Thus the Rev. Wm. H. Campbell, an + Episcopal clergyman of South Carolina, vindicates his refusal to sit in Convention + with the Negroes by the inferiority which the Almighty has stamped upon them. Mr. + Campbell says:</p> + <blockquote> + <p>"The Bishop does not understand or appreciate the reasons why some of us cannot, + under any circumstances, sit in Convention with Negroes. The objections commonly + made need not here be referred to. The difficulty with some of us is not 'on + account of color,' as it is usually, but not with strict accuracy, put; for some + Negroes are as white as some white men, but because they are of an inferior race, + so made by the Almighty and never intended by him to be put on an equality with the + white race, in either Church or State."</p> + </blockquote> + <p>The question at issue is not one of expediency, but of principle; and, among + Christians, whether in the individual church or the ecclesiastical body, it is a + question of Christian duty to be settled by the Divine authority of the Master + himself. We propose no argument on the subject, but content ourselves by quoting a + few well-known passages of Scripture, which, though familiar, have lost neither their + significancy nor their authority. In the end, the voice of God must be decisive.</p> + <blockquote> + <p>"And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of + the earth."</p> + <p>"God hath showed me that I should call no man common or unclean."</p> + </blockquote> + <span class="pagenum"><a name="page151" id="page151"></a>{151}</span> + <blockquote> + <p>"Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons, but in every nation, + he that feareth Him and worketh righteousness is accepted with Him."</p> + <p>"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is + neither male nor female, for ye are all one in Christ."</p> + <p>"Inasmuch as ye have not done it unto one of the least of these, my brethren, ye + have not done it unto me."</p> + </blockquote> + <hr /> + <a name="editorial5" id="editorial5"></a> + <p>Secretary Roy, in the <i>Advance</i>, controverts the statement of the <i>Herald + and Presbyter</i>, that the Congregationalists have come to consent to separate + ecclesiastical bodies on the ground of color. Dr. Roy supposes that this conclusion + may have been jumped at because of the formation of a new Congregational Association + in Georgia, which is an outcome from the Congregational Methodist churches there. The + <i>Interior</i>, evidently with gladness, makes the same assertion. The <i>Christian + Union</i> replies to this, saying, "We do not think this is true; <i>but, if it is, + so much the worse for the Congregationalists!</i>" We may say with Dr. Roy, that + nothing is more certain than that in the New Empire that is growing before our eyes, + the Congregational churches of this century will not turn towards the dark ages, and + will not put themselves to shame by refusing to fellowship with the disciples of + Christ on the ground of caste. Such a proposition would have the scorn of our + National Council.</p> + <p>The Christianity of our churches will not fall behind the humanity of Victor Hugo, + who said, "I have had in my hand the gloved and white palm of the upper class and the + heavy black hand of the lower class, and have recognized that both are the hands of + man."</p> + <p>The Congregational churches may not be quoted as countenancing this great + wickedness against God and man.</p> + <hr /> + <a name="editorial6" id="editorial6"></a> + <h3>FROM ADDRESS OF REV. E.T. FLEMING OF GEORGIA, IN THE BROADWAY TABERNACLE OF NEW + YORK.</h3> + <p>"I suppose it will be necessary to tell you that I am a Negro, that I was born a + slave. We are struggling against difficulties. We meet with a great deal of + opposition. A case comes to mind which shows something of this opposition. I went out + into what we call the Bottom District. The church there was dirty. I went to work and + got a sufficient amount of money to buy a barrel of lime. It took me a week to get + enough money to buy a barrel of lime. Another brother and myself got the barrel of + lime there on a wheel-barrow. We whitewashed the church inside and out, and finished + the job about half-past eleven o'clock. It was too late to return to the city, and we + agreed to sleep in the church. The next morning, I was surprised to hear a great + noise on the outside, and opening the door, looked out and saw a lean, lank, white + woman. She was calling to her daughter, "Louisa, Louisa, come here." Her daughter + <span class="pagenum"><a name="page152" id="page152"></a>{152}</span> came to her + mother and said, "My —— ——, they have painted the nigger + church white. We must put a stop to that." They said we would have to move the + church, on the ground that they were not going to stand anything of that kind. These + are the things that meet us in opposition there. I was myself refused admittance to a + Gospel Tent where a distinguished evangelist from the North was preaching."</p> + <hr /> + <a name="editorial7" id="editorial7"></a> + <h3>A STRIKING STATEMENT.</h3> + <p>In one of the hotels in Columbia, South Carolina, among the collections of an + excellent library, is a book which bears the seal of the State of South Carolina, + giving much statistical information as to the geological character of the State, its + agricultural resources, its mineral products and the peculiarities of its population. + From its pages, the following extract is taken, which is reproduced here for its + suggestiveness. It seems incredible, and yet the authority is wholly Southern and has + the imprint of the State. It is as follows:</p> + <blockquote> + <p>"No effort adequate to even an approximate determination statistically of the + intermixture of the White and Negro races has as yet been undertaken. Mr. + Patterson, quoted in an authoritative work upon '<i>The Resources and Population of + South Carolina</i>,' and published by the <i>State Board of Agriculture</i> in + 1883, as one who has given much attention to the subject, says, even now there are + no longer Negroes. One-third has a large infusion of white blood, another third has + less, but still some, and of the other third it would be difficult to find an + assured specimen of pure African blood. This, continues the report, is a startling + statement; but in the absence of statistics, whoever puts it to the test among his + Negro acquaintance will be surprised at the degree in which it conforms to the + facts. If the lineage of those Negroes whose color and features seem most + unmistakably to mark them as of purely African descent, be traced, indubitable + evidence may often be obtained of white parentage more or less remote."</p> + </blockquote> + <hr /> + <a name="editorial8" id="editorial8"></a> + <h3>MISAPPLIED BENEFACTIONS.</h3> + <p>The judicious placing of benefaction is a large part of the good of it. Is it + wisely located? Will it be permanent? Will it be reproductive? Will it be in the + hands of persons suitably responsible for the administration of it? Will it be under + a fitting supervision? The cause appeals to sympathy; does it also carry the mark of + good judgment? For lack of this double endorsement, not a little of generous giving + is thrown away. It is a fine piece of romance; does it proffer a sufficient security + upon the proffered investment of the Lord's money?</p> + <p>A worthy Christian woman brings the scheme. It is laid upon the mountains of East + Tennessee, thrust up into notoriety by the writing of Charles Egbert Craddock. A lady + of faith and hope and energy, <span class="pagenum"><a name="page153" + id="page153"></a>{153}</span> proposes to build up an industrial farm-school of high + quality for the neglected girls of that mountain district. She has already been + teaching a common-school among them. She comes up to a city of New England. She lays + her plan before some of the noble women there. They take it up without further + inquiry as to the feasibility of the undertaking. With their first contributions an + old worn-out farm is bought in the lady's name, and in the cheap farm-house a small + school is opened. The location is in an out-of-the-way neighborhood, three or four + miles from the little, old, tumble-down county seat. Now a fine building is to be + secured. The lady patrons raise their offerings up to six thousand dollars. Fine + architectural plans are devised at the North. Meantime, speculators on the ground, + who for a few cents an acre have bought up a great quantity of land adjoining and + would be glad to sell it at a dollar an acre, have donated a hundred acres, more or + less, to the school. On this tract the building is located and goes forward. The + frame is put up and pretty much enclosed. For want of money the enterprise comes to a + stand, and now for these four years the stranded structure has been taking damage + from the storms.</p> + <p>The place has been visited repeatedly by the superintendents of the A.M.A., to + find the state of the case and to see if anything could be done to utilize the + partial plant. The pastor of the lady donors became interested to save the investment + through the A.M.A., or to stop the pouring of more funds into the venture, but after + all his correspondence and personal conference, he found that, if the whole property + were to be offered to the Association, it could not afford to accept it and undertake + to carry forward the school. It already has a prosperous academy in that county and + another in an adjoining county, and these, wisely located in congenial communities, + are all that is needed for those and for contiguous counties. There is no way to + utilize it, Alas, "Wherefore this waste?"</p> + <p>An Orphanage for colored children is a tempting charity. The A.M.A early undertook + such work. At Wilmington, N.C., and at Atlanta, Ga., it bought lands and erected + ample buildings, but the experiment satisfied the authorities that the Association + was not called to that department of work. The children's god-fathers and + god-mothers, in devotion to their covenant, or grand-parents from personal interest, + would soon be taking them out, and others having care of them would call them out as + soon as, by some growth and training, the scholars were made profitable for work, and + so those properties were sold and the avails put into the ordinary educational + process. Then the conclusion was reached that this was the obligation of the local + communities, and <i>not of foreign charity</i>. According to this idea, an Orphanage + in a Southern city, undertaken not by the patronage or approval of the A.M.A., though + made to appear so because the originator had been under its commission there as a + missionary, has been transferred to a local board and to the support of the city + <span class="pagenum"><a name="page154" id="page154"></a>{154}</span> and county. + That is as it should be. Those local authorities ought to take care of their own + orphans, and not appeal to the charity of the North to relieve them of their proper + burdens of humanity.</p> + <p>Another so-called Orphanage at still another Southern city, started as an + individual venture. It was allowed for a short time to have a conditional endorsement + from the A.M.A., which was soon withdrawn and the enterprise disowned. This has + swallowed up thousands of dollars of the money of benevolence, and yet it has all the + time been a sham and a falsehood. There was nothing of it. When a lady newspaper + correspondent called to visit the institution, ten or a dozen children from a + neighboring private school were borrowed and paraded as orphans, when at the time + there were only two little children in the concern, and they had grandparents living + near and abundantly able to take care of them. "Wherefore this waste?"</p> + <p>In yet another Southern city, a couple of young ladies start a school. Having once + been under commission of the A.M.A., in connection with its institutions, they appear + to many to have its endorsement and they make appeal to its constituents. Money comes + along for a work irresponsibly begun and without supervision. Only a year goes by + before they appeal by their leaflet-paper for several thousand dollars to buy land + and build a home and school property. Who but they shall hold and own the property? + Whose shall it be when they marry or grow weary of the work and leave? What + protection is there for such misplaced benefaction?</p> + <p>By no means would the Association seek to interfere with donations to individuals + where the donors investigate for themselves and assume the responsibility, but it is + not fair that we should be held as apparently responsible for movements that we + disown, and it is not fair to our constituents that we should allow them to remain + under the impression that in giving to irresponsible projects, they are favoring such + as are endorsed by us.</p> + <p>Thirty-five years ago the Congregational Union was initiated in the Albany + Convention on purpose to protect Eastern friends from the miscellaneous and + irresponsible and persistent solicitation for individual church enterprise. It is the + business of that Society to receive, inspect and decide upon all such applications. + Take it away and the flood gates would be lifted again. No less in the cause of + missionary education is such discretionary service needed.</p> + <hr /> + <h3>THE NEGRO QUESTION.</h3> + <p>This is the title of a recent brochure by George W. Cable, published by the + American Missionary Association. With the most vigorous and courageous devotion to + the question that "is the gravest in American affairs," Mr. Cable addresses himself + to the problem and to the answer that should be made to it. His apprehension of + injustice is so keen and true, <span class="pagenum"><a name="page155" + id="page155"></a>{155}</span> and his seriousness, in view of the weariness and + offence that the whole subject gives to a great majority of the people, is so urgent, + that the paper has been criticized as pessimistic, and as an impatient cry against + evils that are speedily being rectified. We may say that the optimistic view of evils + never did much to correct them, and that those who are patient with wrongs will never + create a sentiment against them. To us, this seems the voice of a prophet pleading + for righteousness to man and righteousness in the land.</p> + <hr /> + <h3>OUR WHOLE COUNTRY.</h3> + <p>Among the recent issues of the press, none has been more effective and deservedly + popular than the pamphlet entitled, "OUR COUNTRY," written by our esteemed friend, + Rev. Josiah Strong, D.D. It has aroused public attention in a remarkable degree, and + has opened the way for a career of most promising usefulness to the author.</p> + <p>Our only regret in reading these stirring pages, has arisen from the fact, that in + its survey it leaves almost entirely out of account nearly one third part of our + country, namely, the South, a part, too, that contains as many elements of future + trouble to the nation, and elements, too, that if properly dealt with, can minister + as largely to the nation's future prosperity, as any other portion. Our object in + penning this item is to suggest that some man of equal diligence in collecting facts, + and of equal skill in handling them, shall write a book entitled, "Our <i>Whole</i> + Country," that shall omit no part of it.</p> + <hr /> + <h3>A SAMPLE OF SOUTHERN CHURCH WORK.</h3> + <p>The Rev. G.W. McClellan, a graduate of Fisk University and recently a student at + Hartford Theological Seminary, has formed a "<i>Boys' Christian Association</i>" in + connection with his church work in Louisville. The boys meet on Friday evenings for + literary exercises, and the following are some of the questions debated this + winter.</p> + <p>1. <i>Resolved</i>, That Washington was a greater general than Grant.</p> + <p>2. <i>Resolved</i>, That capital punishment ought to be abolished.</p> + <p>3. <i>Resolved</i>, That strikes are right and necessary.</p> + <p>4. <i>Resolved</i>, That boys, as a rule, after graduation from the High School, + should go to College.</p> + <hr /> + <h3>EXTRACTS FROM EXAMINATION PAPERS.</h3> + <p>Question. <i>What was the Dred Scott decision?</i></p> + <p>Answer. "The Dred Scott decision declared that slave owners could carry their + slaves into any territory except their own."</p> + <span class="pagenum"><a name="page156" id="page156"></a>{156}</span> + <p>Another Answer. "Dred Scott decision was, that protected tariff should be kept out + of the territories."</p> + <p>Question. <i>What are ocean currents?</i></p> + <p>Answer. "The Ocean currant is a celebrated meal-storm on the coast of Norway."</p> + <hr /> + <h3>A STRAW.</h3> + <p>A few days since, there was an examination of candidates for positions as teachers + in the New Orleans public schools. Four of our Straight University girls presented + themselves, three graduates and one an undergraduate, and all passed the examination, + receiving respectively 94, 93, 92 and 87 per cent., and three were at once given good + positions.</p> + <hr /> + <a name="editorial9" id="editorial9"></a> + <h3>IN MEMORIAM.</h3> + <p>Another good man has gone to his reward. Rev. Geo. J. Tillotson, who has + perpetuated his name in the Tillotson Institute, Austin, Texas, died March 29th, at + his home in Wethersfield, Conn. His useful life was spent in that State. He was born + in Farmington, Feb. 5, 1805, was graduated at Yale in 1825, studied theology in the + Yale Seminary one year and at Andover for two years, completing his theological + studies in 1830. He had several long pastorates, which he filled with great fidelity + and success. From 1876 he was not employed as a pastor, but devoted himself with + great assiduity to various modes of promoting the Redeemer's kingdom. He had + practised economy and had the means to give, and this he did with a discriminating, + and yet a liberal, hand. To the founding of the Tillotson Institute, he gave not only + from his own resources, but devoted his time and energies to collecting funds from + his friends. But his benefactions were not confined to one object; he had a broad + sympathy for every good cause. He was a man of genial temperament, and closed his + useful career after a short illness in the 84th year of his age.</p> + <hr /> + <a name="editorial10" id="editorial10"></a> + <h3>THE RADICAL FORCES OF CHRISTIANITY, AS EXHIBITED IN THE WORK OF THE AMERICAN + MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION.</h3> + <p>BY REV. J.W. COOPER, D.D.</p> + <p>The work of Christ is the work of Christianity. By the "radical forces of + Christianity," we mean the simple spirit of the Master, in its original and energetic + operation. We are dealing with no abstractions, neither are we considering the + operation of human agencies. What Christ was in his earthly ministry, that + Christianity is, because of His living presence <span class="pagenum"><a + name="page157" id="page157"></a>{157}</span> in the church to-day. Wherever we + discover the working of those principles which were exemplified in his life, there He + is present in living power, the inspirer of the endeavor, and the strength of it. The + claim that the work of the American Missionary Association makes upon our attention, + may be presented in a variety of forms. Its work is commended to us, for example, + because it is patriotic, that is, it makes its appeal to our self-interest. The + instinct of self-preservation demands that we sustain it. Four and a half millions of + Negroes in our Southern States are utterly illiterate. Half that number of Southern + whites are in the same deplorable condition. These men are citizens. They hold the + ballot. Our free institutions are not safe in such hands as these. Education is an + absolute necessity. This wide-spreading and dense ignorance, among masses of free + American people, must be speedily overcome. We do not wonder, therefore, that Andrew + D. White in his scholarly address, "The Message of the 19th Century to the 20th," + puts the education of the South first among the many great and pressing problems that + claim the attention of statesmen. It is a matter of self-interest and + self-preservation.</p> + <p>This work commends itself, also, because of its justice. It appeals as a duty, to + every enlightened conscience. The ignorance of the Negro, and the degradation of the + Indian, are more our fault than theirs. We owe it to them, as a matter of simple + justice, that we now make reparation, as best we can, for the wrong done to them in + the past. If we, as a nation, have helped push them down, we ought to help lift them + up. It is a burden which stern justice lays upon us.</p> + <p>But I turn from all such impressive arguments as these, to find another and + altogether different motive to this work, one which the statesman may consider of + little worth, the appeal of which mere conscience may not feel, but, which to the + Christian heart must ever be more powerful and persuasive than all other motives that + can be named. This work commends itself to us, because it is a Christly work. The + spirit of the Master is in it. The radical forces of Christianity are exemplified by + it. This Society may stand forth before the world to-day, and without any sacrifice + of humility or reverence, opening the book and finding the place where it is written, + it may say, in concert with the Master himself, "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon + me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, he hath sent me to + bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim deliverance to the captives, and the opening + of the prison to them that are bound, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord + that He might be glorified." And here is its strongest claim upon our sympathy and + support.</p> + <p>That this representation is not an exaggerated one, and that the claim is in no + way over-stated, we shall see more clearly as the comparison is followed out in + detail. The work which this Association has in hand will <span class="pagenum"><a + name="page158" id="page158"></a>{158}</span> bear the test of analysis. It is not + only a Christian work, it is a work which, from the beginning, has called into + exercise the fundamental principles of Christianity. It exemplifies Christianity in + its most original and essential features.</p> + <h4>I.—A RADICAL FAITH.</h4> + <p>As I look into this work, the first thing that impresses me is the faith that + inspired it. It was a most sublime undertaking. It began, so far as relates to its + present fields of labor, with the millions of freedmen just emancipated from two and + a half centuries of bondage. What this bondage signified, this present generation + will find it difficult to realize. For years it had been a crime to teach them the + alphabet. They had been bought and sold like cattle. Their lives were a daily school + in sensual immorality, deceit and dishonesty. Every manly aspiration, and womanly + feeling, was smothered at its birth. They had come from savagery to slavery, and in a + day, without training or preparation, they were set free. It is no wonder that they + were ignorant, indolent, degraded and despised. As one of their own number says, "We + came into bondage naked and destitute of worldly goods, we went out of it penniless, + homeless and almost characterless." Now it was this mass of degraded humanity that + this Association set itself to elevate and Christianize, and it did it with a calm + assurance and serene hope which no obstacle has as yet been able to disturb. The road + has been a long and hard one, but it did not anticipate an easy time or miraculous + success. It has met with new and perhaps unexpected difficulties. It may be that all + the workers would say what the President of Talladega writes in a recent letter, "The + magnitude of the obstacles are more and more real to me as I live and work." But they + still live and they still work, never doubting the final result. If you want to find + men who have undying faith in the future of the black race, go to those who, in the + spirit of their Master, are toiling night and day, under the commission of this + Society, for its elevation.</p> + <p>In the same spirit, also, this Association has welcomed new labors and entered + into new fields. When Chinamen were to be Christianized, immediately it had great + faith for the Chinese. When the Indian missions were laid upon it, then it saw + wonderful possibilities in the red man. And now, last of all, when some million or + two of long-forgotten and neglected "Mountain Whites" are brought to its attention, + it sees in these abjectly poor, dispirited and superstitious people, only another + opportunity for elevating humanity, and proving the power of Christianity to restore + the lost manhood of every race.</p> + <p>These servants of God are not engaged in a forlorn hope. They have faith. Wherever + they work there they expect results, not only in the saving of individual souls, but + in regenerating whole races of men. A Christian woman, missionary to the poor whites + among the mountains of East <span class="pagenum"><a name="page159" + id="page159"></a>{159}</span> Tennessee, under the inspiration of her great faith, + writes home to her friends, "We can almost hear the bells ring in unreared steeples, + and hear the songs from choirs that are as yet totally oblivious to the spirit of + melody, and enter into the heart-worship of the prayer meetings that are to be when + shall have been fulfilled the prophecy, that 'to the people which sat in darkness and + the shadow of death, light is sprung up'." Such buoyant, hopeful faith as this, so + clear and beautiful in its confidence in the promises of God, is one of the "radical + forces" which command, while they inspire, this holy work.</p> + <h4>II.—A RADICAL LOVE.</h4> + <p>But what may be called the special characteristic of this Society among missionary + organizations doing work in our own land, that which establishes its special claim + upon hearts of Christian people, is the radical spirit of love there is in it. It + exemplifies in a most practical way, the brotherhood of man. It repudiates caste. It + is absolutely color-blind. It works for the despised. It helps those who are + themselves the most helpless. This is no newly-discovered fact. I remember the first + sermon I ever heard in behalf of this work, more than twenty years ago; it was drawn + from the Parable of the Good Samaritan. The text was, "Who is my neighbor?" The + address of the honored late President of this Association at the close of the last + Annual Meeting which he attended, was in the trend of this very same Scripture. "This + organization," he said, "is the Good Samaritan, loving to bestow its aid upon the + poorest and most despised, the most severely wounded races of our country." The + sermon, a score of years ago, told us that our neighbor was the Negro, just then made + free. So said President Washburn, "If you can point out to this organization any race + that needs its assistance, whether colored or white, there is the legitimate field of + this Association."</p> + <p>It would seem that a law so emphatically taught by Jesus Christ as the common + brotherhood of man, and so familiar to the world, would long ago have been accepted + and adopted in the practice of Christian nations, especially by a Christian Republic + within its own borders. But, instead of that, it is the hardest of all laws for us to + learn and the most difficult of all to put in operation. Our policy toward the + general colored races in this land has been one of cold-hearted and cruel + selfishness. As ex-Senator Brace has said, speaking in behalf of his own people, + "From the red race was taken their lands, from the yellow their labor, from the black + their persons. The red race was gradually driven toward a setting sun; the yellow + race, the rabble demanded to be driven from the country; the black man was a slave in + chains, with no rights which the Constitution recognized."</p> + <p>These unjust prejudices are by no means altogether a thing of the past. They are + not as violent as they once were, thanks to the influence <span class="pagenum"><a + name="page160" id="page160"></a>{160}</span> of this Association, but they still + exist. "Niggers," are still ordered out of Southern churches. Many a professed + Christian still wants his Indian "dead." This work has all along been compelled to + fight its way against suspicion, bigotry and hatred; it must do so still, because it + recognizes man as man, whether his skin be white or black, red or yellow; and, in + taking this radical ground, it is interpreting to the world the benevolent spirit of + the Saviour, and is preparing the way for that universal reign of love on earth which + He came to establish. Such a work as this is the salvation of our Christianity. + Without it, one of the chief evidences for Christianity would be taken away, and the + spirit of it would die. Standing before a congregation of white men, Negroes and + Indians, with a Chinamen or two to make the tale complete, President Mark Hopkins + last May dedicated the new chapel at Hampton to the worship of Almighty God. He + voiced the sentiment of this whole Association when he said, "Here will be taught and + promoted a Christianity as narrow in its creed as revealed truth, and as broad in its + love as humanity!" "A creed as narrow as revealed truth." Yes! we want no + inspirations from outside the sacred book. "A love as broad as humanity." By all + means, yes! for no smaller measure will satisfy the demands of that book or fulfil + the will of the Master.</p> + <h4>III.—A RADICAL CONSECRATION.</h4> + <p>Another principle required in this work and exemplified by it, is a thorough-going + consecration. The men and women who have taken up this work, have followed Christ in + his self-abnegation. There is no worldly honor in it. It is not an easy life. You + know well enough how these devoted missionaries have braved social ostracism, and + shut themselves in to their lowly ministry. With the Christly "sympathy of + identification," they have made themselves one with their despised brethren, bearing + their burdens, sharing their privations, stooping to meet their needs. What almost + infinite patience it has sometimes required, what forbearance and charity, we cannot + know, but they have served willingly and cheerfully, and found the sacrifice to be a + joy. And there are many of them, in school and church and home, in our Southern land + and in the Western wilds, who are serving there in a spirit of self-abnegation and + patient sacrifice, and whom God will honor. These faithful workers are not martyrs; + but there is something heroic in their lives. It is the heroism of those who lay upon + themselves the lowliest duties, and perform them in the spirit of the loftiest + devotion. The work that calls forth such consecration as this, so disinterested and + sincere, bears its own letter of commendation. The spirit of Him, who "came to + minister, and to give his life a ransom for many," is exemplified by it.</p> + <h4>IV.—A RADICAL METHOD.</h4> + <p>There is one thing more that I would mention. It is the radical <span + class="pagenum"><a name="page161" id="page161"></a>{161}</span> method which this + Association has adopted in doing its work. It has never been satisfied with surface + culture. It strikes down to the roots of character. Not "quantity," but "quality," is + manifestly its motto. As an illustration of intelligent thoroughness in Christian + service, therefore, this Association commends itself to our regard.</p> + <p>A decided advance was marked in missionary work when the church came to see that + not only the conversion of the heathen, but their establishment in Christian + character, was a legitimate object of missionary endeavor. Francis Xavier in ten + years visited fifty kingdoms and baptized a million converts, but the ten years' + labor of some of our modern missionaries, spent in laying solid foundations and + thoroughly training a few chosen men, may, after all, come to more in its permanent + results upon the world, than all that was done by Rome's great apostle. Jesus gave + the best part of his three years of public ministry to the training of twelve men. He + might have baptised a million. He preferred to do thorough work with a few. This + Association has acted upon this principle. It has sought to develop manhood and + womanhood after the pattern and by the power that is in Jesus Christ. It calls to its + aid every possible force. It educates the mind, the heart, the conscience, the hand. + It uses the church, the school, the workshop and the Christian home. + Character-building is its vocation, the foundation Jesus Christ, the superstructure + such as should stand the test of fire. These oppressed races need above all things + else leaders from among themselves. It has been the endeavor of this Society to + furnish them—men and women of such moral and mental quality as shall be fitted + for the responsible position. They have been taught to think, to work and to live. + Because labor is a moral force in establishing character, industrial education is + introduced. Nothing is too great to be attempted, nothing too trivial to be omitted, + the object always being the substantial development of moral and Christian + character.</p> + <p>Such is this mission. It has gone forth in the spirit of Christ, with faith and + love and consecration, seeking to do an honest work with thoroughness. God's blessing + has been upon it. It has results to show in the renovated and ennobled lives of + thousands who have been the subjects of its ministry; and its broader influence in + the elevation of the oppressed and despised races, begins even now to be clearly + apparent. It has been a faithful monitor to the churches which have sustained it, an + inspirer of their benevolence, an almoner of their gifts, and an honor to their name. + And beyond all this, standing for those principles which are most essential and + fundamental in Christianity, it has glorified God by exhibiting to the world the + power of Christian faith and sacrifice. Those who have been bound of Satan, lo, these + many years, are loosed from their bonds and made free in Christ. War has struck off + the chains of human bondage. Love shall now complete the emancipation.</p> + <hr class="full" /> + <span class="pagenum"><a name="page162" id="page162"></a>{162}</span> <a + name="south1" id="south1"></a> + <h2>THE SOUTH.</h2> + <hr /> + <h3>"NOTES IN THE SADDLE."</h3> + <p>BY REV. C.J. RYDER, DISTRICT SECRETARY.</p> + <p>The following, which was taken from the public records of a <i>white</i> school in + Tennessee, illustrates the intellectual condition of a portion of the white citizens + of that and the other Southern States. It also shows what kind of men have charge of + public instruction in some districts throughout the South.</p> + <blockquote> + <p>"TENN July —, 188-.</p> + <p>"Rulus for scoul No 4.</p> + <p>Teacher will not low the scoulars to scouful or clime or swhisparn in time of + Books; the Teacher can ad eney rulus to this he thinks needud and eney Larg secular + can not comer ounder rulus will have to quit the scoul."</p> + </blockquote> + <p>These "rulus," as the word is spelled, were signed by two members of the School + Board by whom they were written. How strange, that in localities in which there is + such frightful illiteracy the school authorities should fail to welcome, with + large-hearted cordiality, teachers who come among them. The white people, as well as + the colored, need missionary schools, as the illiteracy among them is appalling.</p> + <p>Think of it! Seven-tenths of one per cent. of the native white population of + Massachusetts are illiterate, while twenty-three per cent. of the native white + population of Georgia, and thirty-one per cent. of the same population of North + Carolina are illiterate!! Why should not Georgia be proud of her educated (?) + citizens, and do all she dare to drive some of the best teachers there are in the + State outside her borders?</p> + <hr /> + <p>Right in this connection it would be interesting to read the following letter. A + brief word of history, however, is necessary that it may be understood. In 1878, a + young man, a graduate of one of the leading New England colleges, enlisted in the + great army of A.M.A. teachers. He was a quiet, unassuming, Christian student. The + amazing ignorance of the Southern people, both white and black, awoke his pity; and + his love, for his Saviour, and for his country, led him to give himself to this most + needy field. He was embarrassed and badgered by those who ought to have welcomed him, + and helped him in his work. This mean and unworthy opposition with which our A.M.A. + teachers are so familiar, culminated in his case, in a series of letters in which his + <i>life</i> was threatened. It was just before the election of President Cleveland. + There was evidently, a well-matured plan to drive him out of the community, and to + intimidate the Negroes so that they would not dare to vote. The following was one of + these letters:</p> + <span class="pagenum"><a name="page163" id="page163"></a>{163}</span> + <blockquote> + <p>"Mr —— deer Sir It is for your own good That I write This letter to + you you are an advocate for Social Equality with the white and the Black race and + the People are not going to Put up with any Such doings and I write you this letter + to warn you of The danger and the great danger That you are in You must leve The + country right away for The People have Pledged Them Seves to get you out of the + contry or Kill you and That in a mity Short time Now as a frend I do beg you to + give this matter your emmediate attention I am very truly your well wisher meaning + Exactly wat I Say"</p> + </blockquote> + <p>I saw all these letters, and received this one from the hand of this Christian + hero. He said to me:—"I went to bed a good many nights thinking that quite + possibly I should be dragged out of my bed, and beaten or hanged before morning." + Notwithstanding this, he wrote on the outside of the envelope the following words, + and passed them around among those whom he knew to be conspirators against him:</p> + <blockquote> + <p>"In answer to the enclosed, I will say to my 'Democratic and inquiring friends,' + that I expect to leave on or before Jan. 1st, 1940, and that though I hoped to vote + for 'St. John and Prohibition,' I have now decided to vote for 'Blaine and the + Protection of all citizens in their political and civil rights.'"</p> + </blockquote> + <p>When he gave me this letter, he took a promise that it should not be published + until after his death. He passed away in the triumph of his sweet, but heroic faith a + few months ago. He died where he had suffered and dared for Christ's sake, in the + midst of this ignorance and sin.</p> + <p>Such stories as his ought to be told. It is cowardly timidity for those of us who + know them, to keep them from the Christian public. Heroes and heroines answer to the + roll-call of A.M.A. workers. I have met them and mingled with them, the past three + years, and I know the sinew and fibre of their courageous faith. You, who send them + out, and who support them in the field, ought to know what they endure, and hear, now + and then, an incident of their heroism.</p> + <hr /> + <p>Two cases of heroic self-denial have come under my notice recently. In Macon there + lives a colored woman whose husband is in an Insane Asylum. Their home was recently + burned to the ground. She has four <span class="pagenum"><a name="page164" + id="page164"></a>{164}</span> small children with her, the eldest of whom is eleven + years old, who are dependent upon her for support. She earns just eight dollars per + month, and yet she sends one girl, aged fifteen, to Atlanta University!</p> + <p>A young man, whose father was a white man and who is himself a blonde, has been + urgently invited by his white grandmother to come to her home and take the position + of her son's child. She is a wealthy woman, owning a large plantation. The young + man's father, her son, is dead. The boy would have all the privileges of a wealthy + young white man and inherit the property on his grandmother's death. The sole + condition which the grandmother makes is that he shall give up all association with + his octoroon mother and refuse to recognize her in any way. Thank God, the boy is too + true to his gentle and loving mother to enter into any such arrangement, even though + the bribe offered is thousands of dollars and a social position of great + attractiveness. There is a great deal of this quiet but heroic self-sacrifice among + the colored people in the South, that never finds its way into print.</p> + <hr /> + <a name="south2" id="south2"></a> + <h3>THE ALABAMA ASSOCIATION.</h3> + <p>PRESIDENT H.S. DEFOREST.</p> + <p>The thirteenth annual meeting of the Alabama Association was held at Salma, March + 30th to April 3d, when the floods were at their highest, yet fourteen of our + seventeen churches were represented. The Sunday-school Association convened a day + earlier, and one afternoon the Woman's Missionary Association had a session by + itself.</p> + <p>The opening sermon by Professor Andrews, was a powerful exposition of Christian + love, from the 13th of 1st Corinthians. One evening was given to the higher, + Christian education; one to three papers on "How to Secure Homes," "The Home + Indoors," and "Home Piety;" and the last to three phases of the temperance question. + Pastor C.B. Curtis, whose church most generously entertained the Association, read a + very suggestive paper on "Self Support of the Churches," a pressing and difficult + question. Almost of necessity, when there is so much to be done, and the resources + are so small compared with the magnitude of the undertakings, practical rather than + theoretical questions come to the front and engage earnest attention.</p> + <p>After a most satisfactory examination, six young men from the Theological + Department of Talladega College were licensed to preach, and it is noteworthy, that, + besides this latest gift of Talladega to the ministry, eleven of the fourteen + churches represented at this meeting of the Association are ministered to by + Talladega College or its graduates.

Stearns, Publishing Agent of + the National Temperance Society, recently made a visit to Florida. On his return + trip, he visited several of the A.M.A. schools in the South, and his practiced eye + of course detected the facts in regard to temperance instruction and influence. We + quote the following items:</p> + </blockquote> + <p>At Beach Institute, Savannah, under care of the American Missionary Association, + Miss A.A. Holmes principal, I found 230 pupils and a strong temperance sentiment. The + entire school receives sound temperance instruction. Stirring temperance songs ring + through the halls. A Band of Hope holds regular meetings. "Mother Goose and Her + Temperance Family," was performed with great satisfaction by the pupils, and a + photograph group of the actors taken and preserved as a memento of the occasion. + "Alcohol and Hygiene" and the "Catechism on Alcohol" are among the studies.</p> + <p>At Charleston I found Avery Institute slowly recovering from the effects of the + earthquake which effectually scattered its students. Over 200, however, were now in + attendance, under the auspices of the American Missionary Association, with Professor + M.A. Holmes principal. Temperance is a cardinal virtue here, but they greatly need a + temperance library and other literature. All these schools have a severe struggle to + sustain their ordinary work, and must depend largely upon outside help for temperance + literature. They can use to great advantage and carefully distribute, without + expense, to the community round about if only the material is furnished.</p> + <p>At Wilmington, N.C., a great work has been accomplished. It has 20,000 + inhabitants, 12,000 of which are colored. In 1881, when the vote on prohibition was + taken in the State, it was all against the proposition. A wonderful change for the + better has taken place. I had a most pleasant visit to Gregory Institute of 250 + pupils, Mr. George A. Woodard principal. This is also under the American Missionary + Association. "Alcohol and Hygiene" is taught in the higher branches and temperance + pervades every department. An open temperance society, with Rev. George S. Rollins + president, holds regular evening meetings, with temperance songs, recitations, + dialogues, essays and speeches, for entertainment and instruction. The regular + meeting occurred the evening I was in town, and I greatly enjoyed the exercises. + Carolina Mills was proposed for <span class="pagenum"><a name="page166" + id="page166"></a>{166}</span> membership, and a committee of three appointed to + "investigate and report." The report was "favorable," and read in regular order and + adopted. The candidate came forward to take the pledge, and proved to be a young man + of genuine African descent. The entire programme was rendered with great credit to + all concerned.</p> + <hr class="full" /> + <a name="indians1" id="indians1"></a> + <h2>THE INDIANS.</h2> + <h3>LETTER FROM AN INDIAN CHIEF IN DAKOTA.</h3> + <blockquote> + <p>My Dear Sir:——Will you Please I have got your letter and I was vey + glad—and vey Good letter—and I tell My Indian friends all good men and + We are vey glad to see your good paper.

Chin Toy was to labor in our more northern + missions, viz., Stockton, Sacramento, Marysville and Oroville, and Loo Quong was to + go south to Santa Barbara and San Diego and certain other cities where Chinese had + congregated, but in which there appeared to be none to care for their souls. + Subsequently another brother entered the field, Yong Jin, laboring first at Santa + Cruz, and now at Tucson, Arizona.</p> + <p>The intention was to give one month of service at each mission, and one gratifying + feature of our experience has been that at no point has this <span class="pagenum"><a + name="page167" id="page167"></a>{167}</span> one month been deemed sufficient. In + every case an urgent plea has come for a longer visit and a larger work. In some + cases, as with Chin Toy in Sacramento, and Loo Quong at San Diego, it has been + necessary to yield to these appeals. The work needed could not be fulfilled in the + month assigned. But in general we have adhered to the original plan, so as to cover + the whole field.</p> + <p>The results have justified the undertaking. The work of these brethren has been + greatly blessed, first of all, to those who were already believers in Jesus. They + have been taught the truth more perfectly. They have had their conceptions of a + Christian's duty and a Christian's privileges raised. They have been brought into + closer harmony with each other. It is too much to expect, perhaps, in view of facts + as they transpire in churches of American Christians—Christians "to the manner + born"—that our little groups of Chinese believers born as "aliens from the + commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise," should be free + from all envies and jealousies, walking always in brotherly love. We wish it were so, + but our wish is, as yet, but partially fulfilled. Our evangelists have so presented + Christ, and so magnified the duty and the blessing of brotherly love, and so + exercised, also, their gifts of Christian diplomacy, as to become peace-makers, and + to restore a truly spiritual order at points where chaos seemed impending.</p> + <p>They have been "in labors abundant." The following from Yong Jin, at Santa Cruz, + puts in fewest words their ordinary work: "This school has nineteen or twenty + scholars. About sixteen come to take the lesson every evening. Mrs. Willett teach and + I teach. [<i>i.e.</i> during the usual school session from 7 till 9 p.m.] After the + school is out, I teach them the Bible lesson about half so long. [<i>i.e.</i> from + 9.15 till 10.15 p.m.] Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings gave them the Bible + lesson of Chinese. Wednesday and Friday evenings, the Bible lesson of English. + Saturday evenings we have meeting. Sunday noon, I did preach in the + street—three times since I came here." With this is associated constant + visiting of such Chinese as either cannot or will not attend the school, seeking to + sow beside all waters. Also study; in some cases aided through the kindness of some + resident pastor, for these brethren have entered upon this work untrained except in + the work itself, and one point of greatest moment in their present service is to + learn how to render better service in the years to come. Street preaching is + undertaken wherever possible. What a hearing can be secured if only some American + Christians will cooperate, was well illustrated in the experience of Loo Quong at San + Diego. I cite the following sentences: "This afternoon we have a grand time in + preaching the good news of Jesus to the Chinese. There were more than <i>ten</i> good + people who had gathered there to help me in the singing. After half an hour of hard + talk, [<i>i.e.</i>, earnest laborious speaking,] then Mr. Kirby, an old gentleman, + next is Rev. Dr. Harwood, then a stranger.</p> + <span class="pagenum"><a name="page168" id="page168"></a>{168}</span> + <p>All these speakings I have put in Chinese and they were listened to by at least a + thousand Chinese and whites. Among the helpers were Mrs. Noble and Mrs. McKensie and + the whole family of Rev. Dr. Harwood. Besides these were many other good Christian + ladies who stood around me and were given willing lips to join the singing. I cannot + tell you all about our street preaching here. I will leave it for you to think about + and enjoy. Amen."</p> + <p>God has used this preaching of the Word, not only to edify the brethren, but to + bring men to repentance. The numbers may seem small when compared with those reported + by our American evangelists laboring among the tens of thousands in our great cities, + but, under the circumstances, they are very cheering. At Stockton, 1; Sacramento, 1; + San Buenaventura, 3; San Diego, 3; Oakland, 4; San Francisco, 5; Tucson, 5; Santa + Barbara, 7; Santa Cruz, 11. Total 40. This is the harvest of the past five months. If + the work of the whole year should yield corresponding returns, it will be the most + fruitful of our whole history. Much remains unsaid, for which I may find space + hereafter.</p> + <p>WM. C. POND.</p> + <hr /> + <a name="chinese2" id="chinese2"></a> + <p>The Chinese have been considered by many impervious to Christian influence, but + the following paragraph shows that by "deeds, not words," the Oriental, sometimes, + expresses his gratitude. Sometime ago a Chinaman in a Sunday-school was taken ill, + and, through the influence of its superintendent, admission to a hospital was + secured, until he was able to return to his native land. But no word of thanks was + given for the faithful care and unwearied attentions he had received, and only the + assurance of the Master's approbation cheered the hearts of those who had sowed the + gospel truth in his name. The weeks went by, when from over the sea came a living + testimony of the gratitude of this Chinamen in the form of his young son, whom he had + sent to America with the injunction to find the unforgotten superintendent, and go to + her Sunday-school. For five months now he has been under her care, and at the recent + reception given by the Chinese scholars to their teachers, on their New Year, he + wrote in a clear, well-defined hand, every word correctly spelled, this letter to his + teacher, who had sent him her regrets that she could not be present.</p> + <blockquote> + <p>My Dear Teacher:</p> + <p>I thank you for your letter. I am sorry you could not come to the supper last + Monday night. I am glad you can teach me every Sunday. I like to go to + Sunday-school. Please write to me again.</p> + <p>Yours truly——</p> + </blockquote> + <p>Five months ago this boy was unable to speak or understand a word of English; now + he can read, write, and repeat the Lord's Prayer from memory, a task he studied long + and patiently to accomplish.</p> + <hr class="full" /> + <a name="bureau1" id="bureau1"></a> <span class="pagenum"><a name="page169" + id="page169"></a>{169}</span> + <h2>BUREAU OF WOMAN'S WORK.</h2> + <p>MISS D.E.

The letter below was written by one of our most intelligent and earnest + Christian workers—a colored lady educated in one of our schools.</p> + <p>"Our usual lines of work have gone on with about the same results, except among + the women. Our Woman's Prayer Meeting shows unusual fervor, and we are expecting to + make this meeting <i>felt</i> in the community and church. Satan seems on the + war-path, and we women feel that we must be wide-awake and closer to the Lord, if the + power of evil is to be checked. In our last meeting the one feeling each expressed + was: 'What can <i>I</i> do? I feel that I am called to work for the Master, but + <i>what</i> can I do for Christ?' In the struggle for bread, the time of many of the + women is used all the day; then the house must be cared for, and when this is done, + strength fails. I tried to impress the thought that much is gained when a soul is + anxious to work for the Lord, and that such a soul will not be left unguided, which + seemed to comfort many a tired mother.</p> + <p>"<i>My</i> difficulty is different. I am perplexed to know which of the many + phases of Christian work to adopt for these women, and how to keep up interest and + attendance without multiplying meetings. I am confident that our regular four weekly + meetings and the regular monthly meetings are all they can attend, yet they + <i>need</i> others. I am often reminded of my dear mother's prayer which she used to + cry out when greatly tried in the days of slavery: 'Oh! for Job's patience and + Joshua's resolution, that we might all pull together like Pharaoh's horses.' And I + would add: 'Oh! for Solomon's wisdom and Samson's strength, that we might understand + and do the Lord's work.'"</p> + <hr class="receipts_hr" /> + <a name="receipts1" id="receipts1"></a> <span class="pagenum"><a name="page171" + id="page171"></a>{171}</span> + <h2>RECEIPTS FOR APRIL, 1888.</h2> + <h5>MAINE, $224.38.</h5> + <table width="100%" summary="receipts"> + <tr> + <td align="left" width="75%">Acton.

We wish to remind our friends that the + expenditures of a missionary society have no vacation, and to ask them that in this + remaining month, special efforts be made to prepare us for the months when there is + the usual outflow with only a small stream coming in.</p> + <p>The showing of our receipts is favorable. For the seven months to April 30th, they + aggregate $158,921.20, an increase of $5,082.75 over last year. The increase in + collections and donations is $9,241.84, but there is a decrease in legacies of + $4,159.09, leaving the net increase as above stated. On the other hand, however, the + expenditure that has been absolutely demanded by our growing work has been $23,778.24 + over the receipts. Our committee has denied many appeals pressed upon it, from the + workers in the field, for needed growth and strengthening; but some calls have come + with such urgency to save the work already in hand, that it felt constrained to grant + the additional appropriations, and we are very confident that if our constituents had + been present, they, too, would have concurred heartily and unanimously in the + votes.</p> + <p>We might reasonably hope that this debtor balance would be wiped out during the + five months of our fiscal year yet before us, but there is a special reason for + anxiety that it should soon be materially reduced. It is at this time that we are + compelled to plan the work, and make estimates, for the next fiscal year, beginning + October 1st. We are now endeavoring to cut down these estimates to the lowest + possible point, but if, before the close of June, there shall be no marked reduction + of this balance, we shall be obliged to cut still further, even to the arresting or + crippling of work already begun. We ask our friends to rally to the rescue.</p> + <hr /> + <a name="editorial2" id="editorial2"></a> <span class="pagenum"><a name="page148" + id="page148"></a>{148}</span> + <h3>A NOBLE WORD FROM THE OHIO CONGREGATIONAL ASSOCIATION.</h3> + <h4>REPORT ON THE A.M.A. BY REV. WASHINGTON GLADDEN, D.D.</h4> + <p>The work of the American Missionary Association appeals to the churches of Ohio + with cumulative urgency. "A.M.A.," as our stalwart brother Pike used to say, are + letters that stand for the darkened races of this continent—the American, the + Mongolian and the African. To the Christian people of America, these tribes are + entrusted; for their enlightenment and Christianization, we are responsible. The + Government at Washington can do something toward protecting these people in their + political rights; but there is very little, after all, that can be done for any + people which does not know how to assert and maintain its own rights. Liberty can + never be a gratuity, it must always be an achievement. Peoples, as well as + individuals, must work out their own salvation. The Negro at the South is cheated out + of his political rights, simply because he does not know how to claim them; the + Indian on the plains is defrauded of his property, because he does not know how to + protect himself. No matter how favorable the laws may be to these hapless people, + they will be oppressed and impoverished and kept in a condition of semi-slavery, + unless they know how to use the laws in their own advantage. Education, therefore, is + the only effectual remedy for their wrongs. To awaken their minds, to arouse the + energies of hope, to show them that they are made in God's image and that they have a + right to all the liberties of the laws of God, is the only way to complete and secure + their emancipation from bondage and from barbarism.</p> + <p>This is the work to which the American Missionary Association calls us all. It is + our just pride as Congregationalists that through this Association more has been done + for the true enfranchisement of the freedmen than through any other agency, and it is + our duty to see that this great work, in which we have borne so large and honorable a + part, halt not nor slacken in its energy because of our failure to keep its treasury + replenished and its faithful laborers re-enforced and supported by our gifts and our + prayers.</p> + <hr /> + <a name="editorial3" id="editorial3"></a> + <h3>FACTS AND FIGURES.</h3> + <p>The sum total of all the contributions of all the benevolent agencies for the + evangelization and education of the Negro in the South, is seventeen cents per year + for each person.</p> + <p>This seventeen cents includes whatever is done in missionary colleges and in all + educational missions, as well as in the direct church work.</p> + <p>In twenty-one years from 1841 to 1861 there were twenty-one crops of cotton raised + by slave labor, which aggregated 58,441,906 bales.</p> + <span class="pagenum"><a name="page149" id="page149"></a>{149}</span> + <p>In the twenty-one years from 1865 to 1885 there were twenty-one crops of cotton + which aggregated 93,389,031 bales.</p> + <p>That is, by free labor there was an excess over the productions of slave labor of + 34,947,125 bales, or nearly 35,000,000 bales. The value of 35,000,000 bales of cotton + produced by free labor in excess of the product of slave labor cannot have been less + than $2,000,000,000, or about the full valuation of all the slaves who were made free + by the war, had they been sold at the ruling prices. The gain is due not only to the + emancipation of the blacks, but to the emancipation of the whites from enforced + idleness.</p> + <p>The cotton factories of the world annually require about 12,000,000 bales of + cotton, American weight. Good land in Texas produces one bale to the acre. The + world's supply of cotton could be grown on less than 19,000 square miles, or upon an + area equal to only seven per cent. of the area of Texas.</p> + <hr /> + <a name="editorial4" id="editorial4"></a> + <h3>THE COLOR-LINE QUESTION: WHAT IS IT?</h3> + <p>1. It is not the question of <i>social</i> equality. No one doubts the right of + individuals, or the family, or the social circle, to draw their lines of association + and fellowship at their own pleasure, whether at wealth, rank, fashion, talent, or + anything else. To confound this with the real question, is not candid.</p> + <p>2. Still less is it the question of the inter-marriage of the races. Here, + individual preference is undeniable. To claim that this is the question, and to ask + tauntingly: "Do you want your daughter to marry a <i>nigger</i>?" is ungentlemanly + and unworthy of an answer.</p> + <p>3. The question is: Shall a line be drawn between the white and black races, + giving rights and privileges in Church and State to the one race, which are denied to + the other, solely because of race or color? In other words: Shall a line be drawn + which shall separate the Negroes, and assign them as a race to the position of + inferiors irrespective of merit or character, and merely on the ground of race or + color?</p> + <p>To narrow the discussion, we leave out of view the civil or political aspect of + the question and confine ourselves to the religious, and we propose to give a few + illustrations. A Negro in every way qualified, in character, piety, and intelligence, + applies for membership in a white church. Shall the color-line be drawn and he be + refused admission for no other reason than that he is a Negro? This does not imply + that the whites and blacks should be urged or persuaded to unite in all churches or + in any church. It may be conceded that the blacks generally do not desire to unite + with white churches, and that, in their present state of culture, it may not always + be for their edification to do so. But where an individual Negro <i>does</i> believe + that it would be for his edification and growth in grace to belong to a white church, + shall the color that God stamped on him, or the race in which God gave him his birth, + be a sufficient reason <span class="pagenum"><a name="page150" + id="page150"></a>{150}</span> for refusing him? The question and the principle apply + equally if the Negro should be given to understand that while he would not actually + be refused admission, yet the preference of the church would be that he should not + apply; nay, we do not see why the principle is not the same if the well-known + attitude of the church on the race question should be such that the Christian + self-respect of the Negro would not allow him to make the application.</p> + <p>Again, shall colored churches, conferences or presbyteries be formed on the same + territory <i>in order that</i> the colored members may not unite with the white + churches, conferences or presbyteries? Shall a line be run between the races on the + simple ground of race or color, and irrespective of character, convenience or choice, + so that the Negro as a church member shall not be allowed to choose the church he + shall join, or as a minister the option as to his conference or presbytery? For one + race to demand such a line of separation, is to consign the other race to a position + of inferiority as humiliating as it is discouraging. Such is the demand of race + prejudice, and such the position of inferiority in which it insists on placing the + Negro. Slavery held the Negro there, and since emancipation, this race-separation is + intended to accomplish the same purpose. The Southern white man makes no objection to + the race or color of the Negro, but only to his position as an equal. He was not + merely tolerated, he was more than tolerated, as a slave, and he is now as a + servant.</p> + <p>The present controversy in regard to the color-line is calling forth some frank + admissions from intelligent white men at the South. Thus the Rev. Wm. H. Campbell, an + Episcopal clergyman of South Carolina, vindicates his refusal to sit in Convention + with the Negroes by the inferiority which the Almighty has stamped upon them. Mr. + Campbell says:</p> + <blockquote> + <p>"The Bishop does not understand or appreciate the reasons why some of us cannot, + under any circumstances, sit in Convention with Negroes. The objections commonly + made need not here be referred to. The difficulty with some of us is not 'on + account of color,' as it is usually, but not with strict accuracy, put; for some + Negroes are as white as some white men, but because they are of an inferior race, + so made by the Almighty and never intended by him to be put on an equality with the + white race, in either Church or State."</p> + </blockquote> + <p>The question at issue is not one of expediency, but of principle; and, among + Christians, whether in the individual church or the ecclesiastical body, it is a + question of Christian duty to be settled by the Divine authority of the Master + himself. We propose no argument on the subject, but content ourselves by quoting a + few well-known passages of Scripture, which, though familiar, have lost neither their + significancy nor their authority. In the end, the voice of God must be decisive.</p> + <blockquote> + <p>"And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of + the earth."</p> + <p>"God hath showed me that I should call no man common or unclean."</p> + </blockquote> + <span class="pagenum"><a name="page151" id="page151"></a>{151}</span> + <blockquote> + <p>"Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons, but in every nation, + he that feareth Him and worketh righteousness is accepted with Him."</p> + <p>"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is + neither male nor female, for ye are all one in Christ."</p> + <p>"Inasmuch as ye have not done it unto one of the least of these, my brethren, ye + have not done it unto me."</p> + </blockquote> + <hr /> + <a name="editorial5" id="editorial5"></a> + <p>Secretary Roy, in the <i>Advance</i>, controverts the statement of the <i>Herald + and Presbyter</i>, that the Congregationalists have come to consent to separate + ecclesiastical bodies on the ground of color. Dr. Roy supposes that this conclusion + may have been jumped at because of the formation of a new Congregational Association + in Georgia, which is an outcome from the Congregational Methodist churches there. The + <i>Interior</i>, evidently with gladness, makes the same assertion. The <i>Christian + Union</i> replies to this, saying, "We do not think this is true; <i>but, if it is, + so much the worse for the Congregationalists!</i>" We may say with Dr. Roy, that + nothing is more certain than that in the New Empire that is growing before our eyes, + the Congregational churches of this century will not turn towards the dark ages, and + will not put themselves to shame by refusing to fellowship with the disciples of + Christ on the ground of caste. Such a proposition would have the scorn of our + National Council.</p> + <p>The Christianity of our churches will not fall behind the humanity of Victor Hugo, + who said, "I have had in my hand the gloved and white palm of the upper class and the + heavy black hand of the lower class, and have recognized that both are the hands of + man."</p> + <p>The Congregational churches may not be quoted as countenancing this great + wickedness against God and man.</p> + <hr /> + <a name="editorial6" id="editorial6"></a> + <h3>FROM ADDRESS OF REV. E.T. FLEMING OF GEORGIA, IN THE BROADWAY TABERNACLE OF NEW + YORK.</h3> + <p>"I suppose it will be necessary to tell you that I am a Negro, that I was born a + slave. We are struggling against difficulties. We meet with a great deal of + opposition. A case comes to mind which shows something of this opposition. I went out + into what we call the Bottom District. The church there was dirty. I went to work and + got a sufficient amount of money to buy a barrel of lime. It took me a week to get + enough money to buy a barrel of lime. Another brother and myself got the barrel of + lime there on a wheel-barrow. We whitewashed the church inside and out, and finished + the job about half-past eleven o'clock. It was too late to return to the city, and we + agreed to sleep in the church. The next morning, I was surprised to hear a great + noise on the outside, and opening the door, looked out and saw a lean, lank, white + woman. She was calling to her daughter, "Louisa, Louisa, come here." Her daughter + <span class="pagenum"><a name="page152" id="page152"></a>{152}</span> came to her + mother and said, "My —— ——, they have painted the nigger + church white. We must put a stop to that." They said we would have to move the + church, on the ground that they were not going to stand anything of that kind. These + are the things that meet us in opposition there. I was myself refused admittance to a + Gospel Tent where a distinguished evangelist from the North was preaching."</p> + <hr /> + <a name="editorial7" id="editorial7"></a> + <h3>A STRIKING STATEMENT.</h3> + <p>In one of the hotels in Columbia, South Carolina, among the collections of an + excellent library, is a book which bears the seal of the State of South Carolina, + giving much statistical information as to the geological character of the State, its + agricultural resources, its mineral products and the peculiarities of its population. + From its pages, the following extract is taken, which is reproduced here for its + suggestiveness. It seems incredible, and yet the authority is wholly Southern and has + the imprint of the State. It is as follows:</p> + <blockquote> + <p>"No effort adequate to even an approximate determination statistically of the + intermixture of the White and Negro races has as yet been undertaken. Mr. + Patterson, quoted in an authoritative work upon '<i>The Resources and Population of + South Carolina</i>,' and published by the <i>State Board of Agriculture</i> in + 1883, as one who has given much attention to the subject, says, even now there are + no longer Negroes. One-third has a large infusion of white blood, another third has + less, but still some, and of the other third it would be difficult to find an + assured specimen of pure African blood. This, continues the report, is a startling + statement; but in the absence of statistics, whoever puts it to the test among his + Negro acquaintance will be surprised at the degree in which it conforms to the + facts. If the lineage of those Negroes whose color and features seem most + unmistakably to mark them as of purely African descent, be traced, indubitable + evidence may often be obtained of white parentage more or less remote."</p> + </blockquote> + <hr /> + <a name="editorial8" id="editorial8"></a> + <h3>MISAPPLIED BENEFACTIONS.</h3> + <p>The judicious placing of benefaction is a large part of the good of it. Is it + wisely located? Will it be permanent? Will it be reproductive? Will it be in the + hands of persons suitably responsible for the administration of it? Will it be under + a fitting supervision? The cause appeals to sympathy; does it also carry the mark of + good judgment? For lack of this double endorsement, not a little of generous giving + is thrown away. It is a fine piece of romance; does it proffer a sufficient security + upon the proffered investment of the Lord's money?</p> + <p>A worthy Christian woman brings the scheme. It is laid upon the mountains of East + Tennessee, thrust up into notoriety by the writing of Charles Egbert Craddock. A lady + of faith and hope and energy, <span class="pagenum"><a name="page153" + id="page153"></a>{153}</span> proposes to build up an industrial farm-school of high + quality for the neglected girls of that mountain district. She has already been + teaching a common-school among them. She comes up to a city of New England. She lays + her plan before some of the noble women there. They take it up without further + inquiry as to the feasibility of the undertaking. With their first contributions an + old worn-out farm is bought in the lady's name, and in the cheap farm-house a small + school is opened. The location is in an out-of-the-way neighborhood, three or four + miles from the little, old, tumble-down county seat. Now a fine building is to be + secured. The lady patrons raise their offerings up to six thousand dollars. Fine + architectural plans are devised at the North. Meantime, speculators on the ground, + who for a few cents an acre have bought up a great quantity of land adjoining and + would be glad to sell it at a dollar an acre, have donated a hundred acres, more or + less, to the school. On this tract the building is located and goes forward. The + frame is put up and pretty much enclosed. For want of money the enterprise comes to a + stand, and now for these four years the stranded structure has been taking damage + from the storms.</p> + <p>The place has been visited repeatedly by the superintendents of the A.M.A., to + find the state of the case and to see if anything could be done to utilize the + partial plant. The pastor of the lady donors became interested to save the investment + through the A.M.A., or to stop the pouring of more funds into the venture, but after + all his correspondence and personal conference, he found that, if the whole property + were to be offered to the Association, it could not afford to accept it and undertake + to carry forward the school. It already has a prosperous academy in that county and + another in an adjoining county, and these, wisely located in congenial communities, + are all that is needed for those and for contiguous counties. There is no way to + utilize it, Alas, "Wherefore this waste?"</p> + <p>An Orphanage for colored children is a tempting charity. The A.M.A early undertook + such work. At Wilmington, N.C., and at Atlanta, Ga., it bought lands and erected + ample buildings, but the experiment satisfied the authorities that the Association + was not called to that department of work. The children's god-fathers and + god-mothers, in devotion to their covenant, or grand-parents from personal interest, + would soon be taking them out, and others having care of them would call them out as + soon as, by some growth and training, the scholars were made profitable for work, and + so those properties were sold and the avails put into the ordinary educational + process. Then the conclusion was reached that this was the obligation of the local + communities, and <i>not of foreign charity</i>. According to this idea, an Orphanage + in a Southern city, undertaken not by the patronage or approval of the A.M.A., though + made to appear so because the originator had been under its commission there as a + missionary, has been transferred to a local board and to the support of the city + <span class="pagenum"><a name="page154" id="page154"></a>{154}</span> and county. + That is as it should be. Those local authorities ought to take care of their own + orphans, and not appeal to the charity of the North to relieve them of their proper + burdens of humanity.</p> + <p>Another so-called Orphanage at still another Southern city, started as an + individual venture. It was allowed for a short time to have a conditional endorsement + from the A.M.A., which was soon withdrawn and the enterprise disowned. This has + swallowed up thousands of dollars of the money of benevolence, and yet it has all the + time been a sham and a falsehood. There was nothing of it. When a lady newspaper + correspondent called to visit the institution, ten or a dozen children from a + neighboring private school were borrowed and paraded as orphans, when at the time + there were only two little children in the concern, and they had grandparents living + near and abundantly able to take care of them. "Wherefore this waste?"</p> + <p>In yet another Southern city, a couple of young ladies start a school. Having once + been under commission of the A.M.A., in connection with its institutions, they appear + to many to have its endorsement and they make appeal to its constituents. Money comes + along for a work irresponsibly begun and without supervision. Only a year goes by + before they appeal by their leaflet-paper for several thousand dollars to buy land + and build a home and school property. Who but they shall hold and own the property? + Whose shall it be when they marry or grow weary of the work and leave? What + protection is there for such misplaced benefaction?</p> + <p>By no means would the Association seek to interfere with donations to individuals + where the donors investigate for themselves and assume the responsibility, but it is + not fair that we should be held as apparently responsible for movements that we + disown, and it is not fair to our constituents that we should allow them to remain + under the impression that in giving to irresponsible projects, they are favoring such + as are endorsed by us.</p> + <p>Thirty-five years ago the Congregational Union was initiated in the Albany + Convention on purpose to protect Eastern friends from the miscellaneous and + irresponsible and persistent solicitation for individual church enterprise. It is the + business of that Society to receive, inspect and decide upon all such applications. + Take it away and the flood gates would be lifted again. No less in the cause of + missionary education is such discretionary service needed.</p> + <hr /> + <h3>THE NEGRO QUESTION.</h3> + <p>This is the title of a recent brochure by George W. Cable, published by the + American Missionary Association. With the most vigorous and courageous devotion to + the question that "is the gravest in American affairs," Mr. Cable addresses himself + to the problem and to the answer that should be made to it. His apprehension of + injustice is so keen and true, <span class="pagenum"><a name="page155" + id="page155"></a>{155}</span> and his seriousness, in view of the weariness and + offence that the whole subject gives to a great majority of the people, is so urgent, + that the paper has been criticized as pessimistic, and as an impatient cry against + evils that are speedily being rectified. We may say that the optimistic view of evils + never did much to correct them, and that those who are patient with wrongs will never + create a sentiment against them. To us, this seems the voice of a prophet pleading + for righteousness to man and righteousness in the land.</p> + <hr /> + <h3>OUR WHOLE COUNTRY.</h3> + <p>Among the recent issues of the press, none has been more effective and deservedly + popular than the pamphlet entitled, "OUR COUNTRY," written by our esteemed friend, + Rev. Josiah Strong, D.D. It has aroused public attention in a remarkable degree, and + has opened the way for a career of most promising usefulness to the author.</p> + <p>Our only regret in reading these stirring pages, has arisen from the fact, that in + its survey it leaves almost entirely out of account nearly one third part of our + country, namely, the South, a part, too, that contains as many elements of future + trouble to the nation, and elements, too, that if properly dealt with, can minister + as largely to the nation's future prosperity, as any other portion. Our object in + penning this item is to suggest that some man of equal diligence in collecting facts, + and of equal skill in handling them, shall write a book entitled, "Our <i>Whole</i> + Country," that shall omit no part of it.</p> + <hr /> + <h3>A SAMPLE OF SOUTHERN CHURCH WORK.</h3> + <p>The Rev. G.W. McClellan, a graduate of Fisk University and recently a student at + Hartford Theological Seminary, has formed a "<i>Boys' Christian Association</i>" in + connection with his church work in Louisville. The boys meet on Friday evenings for + literary exercises, and the following are some of the questions debated this + winter.</p> + <p>1. <i>Resolved</i>, That Washington was a greater general than Grant.</p> + <p>2. <i>Resolved</i>, That capital punishment ought to be abolished.</p> + <p>3. <i>Resolved</i>, That strikes are right and necessary.</p> + <p>4. <i>Resolved</i>, That boys, as a rule, after graduation from the High School, + should go to College.</p> + <hr /> + <h3>EXTRACTS FROM EXAMINATION PAPERS.</h3> + <p>Question. <i>What was the Dred Scott decision?</i></p> + <p>Answer. "The Dred Scott decision declared that slave owners could carry their + slaves into any territory except their own."</p> + <span class="pagenum"><a name="page156" id="page156"></a>{156}</span> + <p>Another Answer. "Dred Scott decision was, that protected tariff should be kept out + of the territories."</p> + <p>Question. <i>What are ocean currents?</i></p> + <p>Answer. "The Ocean currant is a celebrated meal-storm on the coast of Norway."</p> + <hr /> + <h3>A STRAW.</h3> + <p>A few days since, there was an examination of candidates for positions as teachers + in the New Orleans public schools. Four of our Straight University girls presented + themselves, three graduates and one an undergraduate, and all passed the examination, + receiving respectively 94, 93, 92 and 87 per cent., and three were at once given good + positions.</p> + <hr /> + <a name="editorial9" id="editorial9"></a> + <h3>IN MEMORIAM.</h3> + <p>Another good man has gone to his reward. Rev. Geo. J. Tillotson, who has + perpetuated his name in the Tillotson Institute, Austin, Texas, died March 29th, at + his home in Wethersfield, Conn. His useful life was spent in that State. He was born + in Farmington, Feb. 5, 1805, was graduated at Yale in 1825, studied theology in the + Yale Seminary one year and at Andover for two years, completing his theological + studies in 1830. He had several long pastorates, which he filled with great fidelity + and success. From 1876 he was not employed as a pastor, but devoted himself with + great assiduity to various modes of promoting the Redeemer's kingdom. He had + practised economy and had the means to give, and this he did with a discriminating, + and yet a liberal, hand. To the founding of the Tillotson Institute, he gave not only + from his own resources, but devoted his time and energies to collecting funds from + his friends. But his benefactions were not confined to one object; he had a broad + sympathy for every good cause. He was a man of genial temperament, and closed his + useful career after a short illness in the 84th year of his age.</p> + <hr /> + <a name="editorial10" id="editorial10"></a> + <h3>THE RADICAL FORCES OF CHRISTIANITY, AS EXHIBITED IN THE WORK OF THE AMERICAN + MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION.</h3> + <p>BY REV. J.W. COOPER, D.D.</p> + <p>The work of Christ is the work of Christianity. By the "radical forces of + Christianity," we mean the simple spirit of the Master, in its original and energetic + operation. We are dealing with no abstractions, neither are we considering the + operation of human agencies. What Christ was in his earthly ministry, that + Christianity is, because of His living presence <span class="pagenum"><a + name="page157" id="page157"></a>{157}</span> in the church to-day. Wherever we + discover the working of those principles which were exemplified in his life, there He + is present in living power, the inspirer of the endeavor, and the strength of it. The + claim that the work of the American Missionary Association makes upon our attention, + may be presented in a variety of forms. Its work is commended to us, for example, + because it is patriotic, that is, it makes its appeal to our self-interest. The + instinct of self-preservation demands that we sustain it. Four and a half millions of + Negroes in our Southern States are utterly illiterate. Half that number of Southern + whites are in the same deplorable condition. These men are citizens. They hold the + ballot. Our free institutions are not safe in such hands as these. Education is an + absolute necessity. This wide-spreading and dense ignorance, among masses of free + American people, must be speedily overcome. We do not wonder, therefore, that Andrew + D. White in his scholarly address, "The Message of the 19th Century to the 20th," + puts the education of the South first among the many great and pressing problems that + claim the attention of statesmen. It is a matter of self-interest and + self-preservation.</p> + <p>This work commends itself, also, because of its justice. It appeals as a duty, to + every enlightened conscience. The ignorance of the Negro, and the degradation of the + Indian, are more our fault than theirs. We owe it to them, as a matter of simple + justice, that we now make reparation, as best we can, for the wrong done to them in + the past. If we, as a nation, have helped push them down, we ought to help lift them + up. It is a burden which stern justice lays upon us.</p> + <p>But I turn from all such impressive arguments as these, to find another and + altogether different motive to this work, one which the statesman may consider of + little worth, the appeal of which mere conscience may not feel, but, which to the + Christian heart must ever be more powerful and persuasive than all other motives that + can be named. This work commends itself to us, because it is a Christly work. The + spirit of the Master is in it. The radical forces of Christianity are exemplified by + it. This Society may stand forth before the world to-day, and without any sacrifice + of humility or reverence, opening the book and finding the place where it is written, + it may say, in concert with the Master himself, "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon + me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, he hath sent me to + bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim deliverance to the captives, and the opening + of the prison to them that are bound, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord + that He might be glorified." And here is its strongest claim upon our sympathy and + support.</p> + <p>That this representation is not an exaggerated one, and that the claim is in no + way over-stated, we shall see more clearly as the comparison is followed out in + detail. The work which this Association has in hand will <span class="pagenum"><a + name="page158" id="page158"></a>{158}</span> bear the test of analysis. It is not + only a Christian work, it is a work which, from the beginning, has called into + exercise the fundamental principles of Christianity. It exemplifies Christianity in + its most original and essential features.</p> + <h4>I.—A RADICAL FAITH.</h4> + <p>As I look into this work, the first thing that impresses me is the faith that + inspired it. It was a most sublime undertaking. It began, so far as relates to its + present fields of labor, with the millions of freedmen just emancipated from two and + a half centuries of bondage. What this bondage signified, this present generation + will find it difficult to realize. For years it had been a crime to teach them the + alphabet. They had been bought and sold like cattle. Their lives were a daily school + in sensual immorality, deceit and dishonesty. Every manly aspiration, and womanly + feeling, was smothered at its birth. They had come from savagery to slavery, and in a + day, without training or preparation, they were set free. It is no wonder that they + were ignorant, indolent, degraded and despised. As one of their own number says, "We + came into bondage naked and destitute of worldly goods, we went out of it penniless, + homeless and almost characterless." Now it was this mass of degraded humanity that + this Association set itself to elevate and Christianize, and it did it with a calm + assurance and serene hope which no obstacle has as yet been able to disturb. The road + has been a long and hard one, but it did not anticipate an easy time or miraculous + success. It has met with new and perhaps unexpected difficulties. It may be that all + the workers would say what the President of Talladega writes in a recent letter, "The + magnitude of the obstacles are more and more real to me as I live and work." But they + still live and they still work, never doubting the final result. If you want to find + men who have undying faith in the future of the black race, go to those who, in the + spirit of their Master, are toiling night and day, under the commission of this + Society, for its elevation.</p> + <p>In the same spirit, also, this Association has welcomed new labors and entered + into new fields. When Chinamen were to be Christianized, immediately it had great + faith for the Chinese. When the Indian missions were laid upon it, then it saw + wonderful possibilities in the red man. And now, last of all, when some million or + two of long-forgotten and neglected "Mountain Whites" are brought to its attention, + it sees in these abjectly poor, dispirited and superstitious people, only another + opportunity for elevating humanity, and proving the power of Christianity to restore + the lost manhood of every race.</p> + <p>These servants of God are not engaged in a forlorn hope. They have faith. Wherever + they work there they expect results, not only in the saving of individual souls, but + in regenerating whole races of men. A Christian woman, missionary to the poor whites + among the mountains of East <span class="pagenum"><a name="page159" + id="page159"></a>{159}</span> Tennessee, under the inspiration of her great faith, + writes home to her friends, "We can almost hear the bells ring in unreared steeples, + and hear the songs from choirs that are as yet totally oblivious to the spirit of + melody, and enter into the heart-worship of the prayer meetings that are to be when + shall have been fulfilled the prophecy, that 'to the people which sat in darkness and + the shadow of death, light is sprung up'." Such buoyant, hopeful faith as this, so + clear and beautiful in its confidence in the promises of God, is one of the "radical + forces" which command, while they inspire, this holy work.</p> + <h4>II.—A RADICAL LOVE.</h4> + <p>But what may be called the special characteristic of this Society among missionary + organizations doing work in our own land, that which establishes its special claim + upon hearts of Christian people, is the radical spirit of love there is in it. It + exemplifies in a most practical way, the brotherhood of man. It repudiates caste. It + is absolutely color-blind. It works for the despised. It helps those who are + themselves the most helpless. This is no newly-discovered fact. I remember the first + sermon I ever heard in behalf of this work, more than twenty years ago; it was drawn + from the Parable of the Good Samaritan. The text was, "Who is my neighbor?" The + address of the honored late President of this Association at the close of the last + Annual Meeting which he attended, was in the trend of this very same Scripture. "This + organization," he said, "is the Good Samaritan, loving to bestow its aid upon the + poorest and most despised, the most severely wounded races of our country." The + sermon, a score of years ago, told us that our neighbor was the Negro, just then made + free. So said President Washburn, "If you can point out to this organization any race + that needs its assistance, whether colored or white, there is the legitimate field of + this Association."</p> + <p>It would seem that a law so emphatically taught by Jesus Christ as the common + brotherhood of man, and so familiar to the world, would long ago have been accepted + and adopted in the practice of Christian nations, especially by a Christian Republic + within its own borders. But, instead of that, it is the hardest of all laws for us to + learn and the most difficult of all to put in operation. Our policy toward the + general colored races in this land has been one of cold-hearted and cruel + selfishness. As ex-Senator Brace has said, speaking in behalf of his own people, + "From the red race was taken their lands, from the yellow their labor, from the black + their persons. The red race was gradually driven toward a setting sun; the yellow + race, the rabble demanded to be driven from the country; the black man was a slave in + chains, with no rights which the Constitution recognized."</p> + <p>These unjust prejudices are by no means altogether a thing of the past. They are + not as violent as they once were, thanks to the influence <span class="pagenum"><a + name="page160" id="page160"></a>{160}</span> of this Association, but they still + exist. "Niggers," are still ordered out of Southern churches. Many a professed + Christian still wants his Indian "dead." This work has all along been compelled to + fight its way against suspicion, bigotry and hatred; it must do so still, because it + recognizes man as man, whether his skin be white or black, red or yellow; and, in + taking this radical ground, it is interpreting to the world the benevolent spirit of + the Saviour, and is preparing the way for that universal reign of love on earth which + He came to establish. Such a work as this is the salvation of our Christianity. + Without it, one of the chief evidences for Christianity would be taken away, and the + spirit of it would die. Standing before a congregation of white men, Negroes and + Indians, with a Chinamen or two to make the tale complete, President Mark Hopkins + last May dedicated the new chapel at Hampton to the worship of Almighty God. He + voiced the sentiment of this whole Association when he said, "Here will be taught and + promoted a Christianity as narrow in its creed as revealed truth, and as broad in its + love as humanity!" "A creed as narrow as revealed truth." Yes! we want no + inspirations from outside the sacred book. "A love as broad as humanity." By all + means, yes! for no smaller measure will satisfy the demands of that book or fulfil + the will of the Master.</p> + <h4>III.—A RADICAL CONSECRATION.</h4> + <p>Another principle required in this work and exemplified by it, is a thorough-going + consecration. The men and women who have taken up this work, have followed Christ in + his self-abnegation. There is no worldly honor in it. It is not an easy life. You + know well enough how these devoted missionaries have braved social ostracism, and + shut themselves in to their lowly ministry. With the Christly "sympathy of + identification," they have made themselves one with their despised brethren, bearing + their burdens, sharing their privations, stooping to meet their needs. What almost + infinite patience it has sometimes required, what forbearance and charity, we cannot + know, but they have served willingly and cheerfully, and found the sacrifice to be a + joy. And there are many of them, in school and church and home, in our Southern land + and in the Western wilds, who are serving there in a spirit of self-abnegation and + patient sacrifice, and whom God will honor. These faithful workers are not martyrs; + but there is something heroic in their lives. It is the heroism of those who lay upon + themselves the lowliest duties, and perform them in the spirit of the loftiest + devotion. The work that calls forth such consecration as this, so disinterested and + sincere, bears its own letter of commendation. The spirit of Him, who "came to + minister, and to give his life a ransom for many," is exemplified by it.</p> + <h4>IV.—A RADICAL METHOD.</h4> + <p>There is one thing more that I would mention. It is the radical <span + class="pagenum"><a name="page161" id="page161"></a>{161}</span> method which this + Association has adopted in doing its work. It has never been satisfied with surface + culture. It strikes down to the roots of character. Not "quantity," but "quality," is + manifestly its motto. As an illustration of intelligent thoroughness in Christian + service, therefore, this Association commends itself to our regard.</p> + <p>A decided advance was marked in missionary work when the church came to see that + not only the conversion of the heathen, but their establishment in Christian + character, was a legitimate object of missionary endeavor. Francis Xavier in ten + years visited fifty kingdoms and baptized a million converts, but the ten years' + labor of some of our modern missionaries, spent in laying solid foundations and + thoroughly training a few chosen men, may, after all, come to more in its permanent + results upon the world, than all that was done by Rome's great apostle. Jesus gave + the best part of his three years of public ministry to the training of twelve men. He + might have baptised a million. He preferred to do thorough work with a few. This + Association has acted upon this principle. It has sought to develop manhood and + womanhood after the pattern and by the power that is in Jesus Christ. It calls to its + aid every possible force. It educates the mind, the heart, the conscience, the hand. + It uses the church, the school, the workshop and the Christian home. + Character-building is its vocation, the foundation Jesus Christ, the superstructure + such as should stand the test of fire. These oppressed races need above all things + else leaders from among themselves. It has been the endeavor of this Society to + furnish them—men and women of such moral and mental quality as shall be fitted + for the responsible position. They have been taught to think, to work and to live. + Because labor is a moral force in establishing character, industrial education is + introduced. Nothing is too great to be attempted, nothing too trivial to be omitted, + the object always being the substantial development of moral and Christian + character.</p> + <p>Such is this mission. It has gone forth in the spirit of Christ, with faith and + love and consecration, seeking to do an honest work with thoroughness. God's blessing + has been upon it. It has results to show in the renovated and ennobled lives of + thousands who have been the subjects of its ministry; and its broader influence in + the elevation of the oppressed and despised races, begins even now to be clearly + apparent. It has been a faithful monitor to the churches which have sustained it, an + inspirer of their benevolence, an almoner of their gifts, and an honor to their name. + And beyond all this, standing for those principles which are most essential and + fundamental in Christianity, it has glorified God by exhibiting to the world the + power of Christian faith and sacrifice. Those who have been bound of Satan, lo, these + many years, are loosed from their bonds and made free in Christ. War has struck off + the chains of human bondage. Love shall now complete the emancipation.</p> + <hr class="full" /> + <span class="pagenum"><a name="page162" id="page162"></a>{162}</span> <a + name="south1" id="south1"></a> + <h2>THE SOUTH.</h2> + <hr /> + <h3>"NOTES IN THE SADDLE."</h3> + <p>BY REV. C.J. RYDER, DISTRICT SECRETARY.</p> + <p>The following, which was taken from the public records of a <i>white</i> school in + Tennessee, illustrates the intellectual condition of a portion of the white citizens + of that and the other Southern States. It also shows what kind of men have charge of + public instruction in some districts throughout the South.</p> + <blockquote> + <p>"TENN July —, 188-.</p> + <p>"Rulus for scoul No 4.</p> + <p>Teacher will not low the scoulars to scouful or clime or swhisparn in time of + Books; the Teacher can ad eney rulus to this he thinks needud and eney Larg secular + can not comer ounder rulus will have to quit the scoul."</p> + </blockquote> + <p>These "rulus," as the word is spelled, were signed by two members of the School + Board by whom they were written. How strange, that in localities in which there is + such frightful illiteracy the school authorities should fail to welcome, with + large-hearted cordiality, teachers who come among them. The white people, as well as + the colored, need missionary schools, as the illiteracy among them is appalling.</p> + <p>Think of it! Seven-tenths of one per cent. of the native white population of + Massachusetts are illiterate, while twenty-three per cent. of the native white + population of Georgia, and thirty-one per cent. of the same population of North + Carolina are illiterate!! Why should not Georgia be proud of her educated (?) + citizens, and do all she dare to drive some of the best teachers there are in the + State outside her borders?</p> + <hr /> + <p>Right in this connection it would be interesting to read the following letter. A + brief word of history, however, is necessary that it may be understood. In 1878, a + young man, a graduate of one of the leading New England colleges, enlisted in the + great army of A.M.A. teachers. He was a quiet, unassuming, Christian student. The + amazing ignorance of the Southern people, both white and black, awoke his pity; and + his love, for his Saviour, and for his country, led him to give himself to this most + needy field. He was embarrassed and badgered by those who ought to have welcomed him, + and helped him in his work. This mean and unworthy opposition with which our A.M.A. + teachers are so familiar, culminated in his case, in a series of letters in which his + <i>life</i> was threatened. It was just before the election of President Cleveland. + There was evidently, a well-matured plan to drive him out of the community, and to + intimidate the Negroes so that they would not dare to vote. The following was one of + these letters:</p> + <span class="pagenum"><a name="page163" id="page163"></a>{163}</span> + <blockquote> + <p>"Mr —— deer Sir It is for your own good That I write This letter to + you you are an advocate for Social Equality with the white and the Black race and + the People are not going to Put up with any Such doings and I write you this letter + to warn you of The danger and the great danger That you are in You must leve The + country right away for The People have Pledged Them Seves to get you out of the + contry or Kill you and That in a mity Short time Now as a frend I do beg you to + give this matter your emmediate attention I am very truly your well wisher meaning + Exactly wat I Say"</p> + </blockquote> + <p>I saw all these letters, and received this one from the hand of this Christian + hero. He said to me:—"I went to bed a good many nights thinking that quite + possibly I should be dragged out of my bed, and beaten or hanged before morning." + Notwithstanding this, he wrote on the outside of the envelope the following words, + and passed them around among those whom he knew to be conspirators against him:</p> + <blockquote> + <p>"In answer to the enclosed, I will say to my 'Democratic and inquiring friends,' + that I expect to leave on or before Jan. 1st, 1940, and that though I hoped to vote + for 'St. John and Prohibition,' I have now decided to vote for 'Blaine and the + Protection of all citizens in their political and civil rights.'"</p> + </blockquote> + <p>When he gave me this letter, he took a promise that it should not be published + until after his death. He passed away in the triumph of his sweet, but heroic faith a + few months ago. He died where he had suffered and dared for Christ's sake, in the + midst of this ignorance and sin.</p> + <p>Such stories as his ought to be told. It is cowardly timidity for those of us who + know them, to keep them from the Christian public. Heroes and heroines answer to the + roll-call of A.M.A. workers. I have met them and mingled with them, the past three + years, and I know the sinew and fibre of their courageous faith. You, who send them + out, and who support them in the field, ought to know what they endure, and hear, now + and then, an incident of their heroism.</p> + <hr /> + <p>Two cases of heroic self-denial have come under my notice recently. In Macon there + lives a colored woman whose husband is in an Insane Asylum. Their home was recently + burned to the ground. She has four <span class="pagenum"><a name="page164" + id="page164"></a>{164}</span> small children with her, the eldest of whom is eleven + years old, who are dependent upon her for support. She earns just eight dollars per + month, and yet she sends one girl, aged fifteen, to Atlanta University!</p> + <p>A young man, whose father was a white man and who is himself a blonde, has been + urgently invited by his white grandmother to come to her home and take the position + of her son's child. She is a wealthy woman, owning a large plantation. The young + man's father, her son, is dead. The boy would have all the privileges of a wealthy + young white man and inherit the property on his grandmother's death. The sole + condition which the grandmother makes is that he shall give up all association with + his octoroon mother and refuse to recognize her in any way. Thank God, the boy is too + true to his gentle and loving mother to enter into any such arrangement, even though + the bribe offered is thousands of dollars and a social position of great + attractiveness. There is a great deal of this quiet but heroic self-sacrifice among + the colored people in the South, that never finds its way into print.</p> + <hr /> + <a name="south2" id="south2"></a> + <h3>THE ALABAMA ASSOCIATION.</h3> + <p>PRESIDENT H.S. DEFOREST.</p> + <p>The thirteenth annual meeting of the Alabama Association was held at Salma, March + 30th to April 3d, when the floods were at their highest, yet fourteen of our + seventeen churches were represented. The Sunday-school Association convened a day + earlier, and one afternoon the Woman's Missionary Association had a session by + itself.</p> + <p>The opening sermon by Professor Andrews, was a powerful exposition of Christian + love, from the 13th of 1st Corinthians. One evening was given to the higher, + Christian education; one to three papers on "How to Secure Homes," "The Home + Indoors," and "Home Piety;" and the last to three phases of the temperance question. + Pastor C.B. Curtis, whose church most generously entertained the Association, read a + very suggestive paper on "Self Support of the Churches," a pressing and difficult + question. Almost of necessity, when there is so much to be done, and the resources + are so small compared with the magnitude of the undertakings, practical rather than + theoretical questions come to the front and engage earnest attention.</p> + <p>After a most satisfactory examination, six young men from the Theological + Department of Talladega College were licensed to preach, and it is noteworthy, that, + besides this latest gift of Talladega to the ministry, eleven of the fourteen + churches represented at this meeting of the Association are ministered to by + Talladega College or its graduates. It is a wonder that some man wishing to put a + comparatively small sum of money where it would increase with a compound interest of + blessedness till the latter-day glories have fully come, does not endow the chair of + Theology at Talladega, and his brothers take up the same line of usefulness till both + <span class="pagenum"><a name="page165" id="page165"></a>{165}</span> College and + Seminary are presided for. Some who were taking the rudiments of learning here but a + few years ago, and who have continued their training at very email expense, are now + acceptably filling difficult and responsible positions in school, in business and in + church. There is more of this work to be done, and to be allowed to help seems a + privilege precious enough to make life vastly desirable.</p> + <hr /> + <a name="south3" id="south3"></a> + <h3>TEMPERANCE WORK IN OUR SCHOOLS.</h3> + <blockquote> + <p>Our esteemed neighbor at 58 Reade Street, Mr. J.N. Stearns, Publishing Agent of + the National Temperance Society, recently made a visit to Florida. On his return + trip, he visited several of the A.M.A. schools in the South, and his practiced eye + of course detected the facts in regard to temperance instruction and influence. We + quote the following items:</p> + </blockquote> + <p>At Beach Institute, Savannah, under care of the American Missionary Association, + Miss A.A. Holmes principal, I found 230 pupils and a strong temperance sentiment. The + entire school receives sound temperance instruction. Stirring temperance songs ring + through the halls. A Band of Hope holds regular meetings. "Mother Goose and Her + Temperance Family," was performed with great satisfaction by the pupils, and a + photograph group of the actors taken and preserved as a memento of the occasion. + "Alcohol and Hygiene" and the "Catechism on Alcohol" are among the studies.</p> + <p>At Charleston I found Avery Institute slowly recovering from the effects of the + earthquake which effectually scattered its students. Over 200, however, were now in + attendance, under the auspices of the American Missionary Association, with Professor + M.A. Holmes principal. Temperance is a cardinal virtue here, but they greatly need a + temperance library and other literature. All these schools have a severe struggle to + sustain their ordinary work, and must depend largely upon outside help for temperance + literature. They can use to great advantage and carefully distribute, without + expense, to the community round about if only the material is furnished.</p> + <p>At Wilmington, N.C., a great work has been accomplished. It has 20,000 + inhabitants, 12,000 of which are colored. In 1881, when the vote on prohibition was + taken in the State, it was all against the proposition. A wonderful change for the + better has taken place. I had a most pleasant visit to Gregory Institute of 250 + pupils, Mr. George A. Woodard principal. This is also under the American Missionary + Association. "Alcohol and Hygiene" is taught in the higher branches and temperance + pervades every department. An open temperance society, with Rev. George S. Rollins + president, holds regular evening meetings, with temperance songs, recitations, + dialogues, essays and speeches, for entertainment and instruction. The regular + meeting occurred the evening I was in town, and I greatly enjoyed the exercises. + Carolina Mills was proposed for <span class="pagenum"><a name="page166" + id="page166"></a>{166}</span> membership, and a committee of three appointed to + "investigate and report." The report was "favorable," and read in regular order and + adopted. The candidate came forward to take the pledge, and proved to be a young man + of genuine African descent. The entire programme was rendered with great credit to + all concerned.</p> + <hr class="full" /> + <a name="indians1" id="indians1"></a> + <h2>THE INDIANS.</h2> + <h3>LETTER FROM AN INDIAN CHIEF IN DAKOTA.</h3> + <blockquote> + <p>My Dear Sir:——Will you Please I have got your letter and I was vey + glad—and vey Good letter—and I tell My Indian friends all good men and + We are vey glad to see your good paper.

WOLFE, Chief.</p> + </blockquote> + <hr class="full" /> + <a name="chinese1" id="chinese1"></a> + <h2>THE CHINESE.</h2> + <h3>EVANGELISTIC WORK.</h3> + <p>It is now nearly five months since our evangelists went forth, and the record of + their work, if I had both grace and space to give it in graphic detail, could not but + interest the readers of the MISSIONARY. Chin Toy was to labor in our more northern + missions, viz., Stockton, Sacramento, Marysville and Oroville, and Loo Quong was to + go south to Santa Barbara and San Diego and certain other cities where Chinese had + congregated, but in which there appeared to be none to care for their souls. + Subsequently another brother entered the field, Yong Jin, laboring first at Santa + Cruz, and now at Tucson, Arizona.</p> + <p>The intention was to give one month of service at each mission, and one gratifying + feature of our experience has been that at no point has this <span class="pagenum"><a + name="page167" id="page167"></a>{167}</span> one month been deemed sufficient. In + every case an urgent plea has come for a longer visit and a larger work. In some + cases, as with Chin Toy in Sacramento, and Loo Quong at San Diego, it has been + necessary to yield to these appeals. The work needed could not be fulfilled in the + month assigned. But in general we have adhered to the original plan, so as to cover + the whole field.</p> + <p>The results have justified the undertaking. The work of these brethren has been + greatly blessed, first of all, to those who were already believers in Jesus. They + have been taught the truth more perfectly. They have had their conceptions of a + Christian's duty and a Christian's privileges raised. They have been brought into + closer harmony with each other. It is too much to expect, perhaps, in view of facts + as they transpire in churches of American Christians—Christians "to the manner + born"—that our little groups of Chinese believers born as "aliens from the + commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise," should be free + from all envies and jealousies, walking always in brotherly love. We wish it were so, + but our wish is, as yet, but partially fulfilled. Our evangelists have so presented + Christ, and so magnified the duty and the blessing of brotherly love, and so + exercised, also, their gifts of Christian diplomacy, as to become peace-makers, and + to restore a truly spiritual order at points where chaos seemed impending.</p> + <p>They have been "in labors abundant." The following from Yong Jin, at Santa Cruz, + puts in fewest words their ordinary work: "This school has nineteen or twenty + scholars. About sixteen come to take the lesson every evening. Mrs. Willett teach and + I teach. [<i>i.e.</i> during the usual school session from 7 till 9 p.m.] After the + school is out, I teach them the Bible lesson about half so long. [<i>i.e.</i> from + 9.15 till 10.15 p.m.] Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings gave them the Bible + lesson of Chinese. Wednesday and Friday evenings, the Bible lesson of English. + Saturday evenings we have meeting. Sunday noon, I did preach in the + street—three times since I came here." With this is associated constant + visiting of such Chinese as either cannot or will not attend the school, seeking to + sow beside all waters. Also study; in some cases aided through the kindness of some + resident pastor, for these brethren have entered upon this work untrained except in + the work itself, and one point of greatest moment in their present service is to + learn how to render better service in the years to come. Street preaching is + undertaken wherever possible. What a hearing can be secured if only some American + Christians will cooperate, was well illustrated in the experience of Loo Quong at San + Diego. I cite the following sentences: "This afternoon we have a grand time in + preaching the good news of Jesus to the Chinese. There were more than <i>ten</i> good + people who had gathered there to help me in the singing. After half an hour of hard + talk, [<i>i.e.</i>, earnest laborious speaking,] then Mr. Kirby, an old gentleman, + next is Rev. Dr. Harwood, then a stranger.</p> + <span class="pagenum"><a name="page168" id="page168"></a>{168}</span> + <p>All these speakings I have put in Chinese and they were listened to by at least a + thousand Chinese and whites. Among the helpers were Mrs. Noble and Mrs. McKensie and + the whole family of Rev. Dr. Harwood. Besides these were many other good Christian + ladies who stood around me and were given willing lips to join the singing. I cannot + tell you all about our street preaching here. I will leave it for you to think about + and enjoy. Amen."</p> + <p>God has used this preaching of the Word, not only to edify the brethren, but to + bring men to repentance. The numbers may seem small when compared with those reported + by our American evangelists laboring among the tens of thousands in our great cities, + but, under the circumstances, they are very cheering. At Stockton, 1; Sacramento, 1; + San Buenaventura, 3; San Diego, 3; Oakland, 4; San Francisco, 5; Tucson, 5; Santa + Barbara, 7; Santa Cruz, 11. Total 40. This is the harvest of the past five months. If + the work of the whole year should yield corresponding returns, it will be the most + fruitful of our whole history. Much remains unsaid, for which I may find space + hereafter.</p> + <p>WM. C. POND.</p> + <hr /> + <a name="chinese2" id="chinese2"></a> + <p>The Chinese have been considered by many impervious to Christian influence, but + the following paragraph shows that by "deeds, not words," the Oriental, sometimes, + expresses his gratitude. Sometime ago a Chinaman in a Sunday-school was taken ill, + and, through the influence of its superintendent, admission to a hospital was + secured, until he was able to return to his native land. But no word of thanks was + given for the faithful care and unwearied attentions he had received, and only the + assurance of the Master's approbation cheered the hearts of those who had sowed the + gospel truth in his name. The weeks went by, when from over the sea came a living + testimony of the gratitude of this Chinamen in the form of his young son, whom he had + sent to America with the injunction to find the unforgotten superintendent, and go to + her Sunday-school. For five months now he has been under her care, and at the recent + reception given by the Chinese scholars to their teachers, on their New Year, he + wrote in a clear, well-defined hand, every word correctly spelled, this letter to his + teacher, who had sent him her regrets that she could not be present.</p> + <blockquote> + <p>My Dear Teacher:</p> + <p>I thank you for your letter. I am sorry you could not come to the supper last + Monday night. I am glad you can teach me every Sunday. I like to go to + Sunday-school. Please write to me again.</p> + <p>Yours truly——</p> + </blockquote> + <p>Five months ago this boy was unable to speak or understand a word of English; now + he can read, write, and repeat the Lord's Prayer from memory, a task he studied long + and patiently to accomplish.</p> + <hr class="full" /> + <a name="bureau1" id="bureau1"></a> <span class="pagenum"><a name="page169" + id="page169"></a>{169}</span> + <h2>BUREAU OF WOMAN'S WORK.</h2> + <p>MISS D.E.

The letter below was written by one of our most intelligent and earnest + Christian workers—a colored lady educated in one of our schools.</p> + <p>"Our usual lines of work have gone on with about the same results, except among + the women. Our Woman's Prayer Meeting shows unusual fervor, and we are expecting to + make this meeting <i>felt</i> in the community and church. Satan seems on the + war-path, and we women feel that we must be wide-awake and closer to the Lord, if the + power of evil is to be checked. In our last meeting the one feeling each expressed + was: 'What can <i>I</i> do? I feel that I am called to work for the Master, but + <i>what</i> can I do for Christ?' In the struggle for bread, the time of many of the + women is used all the day; then the house must be cared for, and when this is done, + strength fails. I tried to impress the thought that much is gained when a soul is + anxious to work for the Lord, and that such a soul will not be left unguided, which + seemed to comfort many a tired mother.</p> + <p>"<i>My</i> difficulty is different. I am perplexed to know which of the many + phases of Christian work to adopt for these women, and how to keep up interest and + attendance without multiplying meetings. I am confident that our regular four weekly + meetings and the regular monthly meetings are all they can attend, yet they + <i>need</i> others. I am often reminded of my dear mother's prayer which she used to + cry out when greatly tried in the days of slavery: 'Oh! for Job's patience and + Joshua's resolution, that we might all pull together like Pharaoh's horses.' And I + would add: 'Oh! for Solomon's wisdom and Samson's strength, that we might understand + and do the Lord's work.'"</p> + <hr class="receipts_hr" /> + <a name="receipts1" id="receipts1"></a> <span class="pagenum"><a name="page171" + id="page171"></a>{171}</span> + <h2>RECEIPTS FOR APRIL, 1888.</h2> + <h5>MAINE, $224.38.</h5> + <table width="100%" summary="receipts"> + <tr> + <td align="left" width="75%">Acton.

General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's +eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII, +compressed (zipped), HTML and others. + +Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over +the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed. +VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving +new filenames and etext numbers. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + +EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000, +are filed in directories based on their release date. If you want to +download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular +search system you may utilize the following addresses and just +download by the etext year. + + https://www.gutenberg.org/etext06 + + (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99, + 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90) + +EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are +filed in a different way. The year of a release date is no longer part +of the directory path. The path is based on the etext number (which is +identical to the filename). The path to the file is made up of single +digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename. For +example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at: + + https://www.gutenberg.org/1/0/2/3/10234 + +or filename 24689 would be found at: + https://www.gutenberg.org/2/4/6/8/24689 + +An alternative method of locating eBooks: + https://www.gutenberg.org/GUTINDEX.ALL + + + + +</pre> + + </body> +</html> diff --git a/old/12134.txt b/old/12134.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..da32a04 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/12134.txt @@ -0,0 +1,2737 @@ +The Project Gutenberg EBook of American Missionary, Vol. XLII., June, +1888., No. 6, by Various + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

No. 5. + + * * * * * + + + AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION. + + * * * * * + + +This Number of the Missionary will reach our friends, the pastors and +the churches, about the first of June, one month before the usual +vacation time sends many of the pastors to their much-needed summer +rest, and when the churches enter upon the months of small +congregations. We wish to remind our friends that the expenditures of +a missionary society have no vacation, and to ask them that in this +remaining month, special efforts be made to prepare us for the months +when there is the usual outflow with only a small stream coming in. + +The showing of our receipts is favorable. For the seven months to +April 30th, they aggregate $158,921.20, an increase of $5,082.75 over +last year. The increase in collections and donations is $9,241.84, but +there is a decrease in legacies of $4,159.09, leaving the net increase +as above stated. On the other hand, however, the expenditure that has +been absolutely demanded by our growing work has been $23,778.24 over +the receipts. Our committee has denied many appeals pressed upon it, +from the workers in the field, for needed growth and strengthening; +but some calls have come with such urgency to save the work already in +hand, that it felt constrained to grant the additional appropriations, +and we are very confident that if our constituents had been present, +they, too, would have concurred heartily and unanimously in the votes. + +We might reasonably hope that this debtor balance would be wiped out +during the five months of our fiscal year yet before us, but there is +a special reason for anxiety that it should soon be materially +reduced. It is at this time that we are compelled to plan the work, +and make estimates, for the next fiscal year, beginning October 1st. +We are now endeavoring to cut down these estimates to the lowest +possible point, but if, before the close of June, there shall be no +marked reduction of this balance, we shall be obliged to cut still +further, even to the arresting or crippling of work already begun. We +ask our friends to rally to the rescue. + + * * * * * + + +{148} + + A NOBLE WORD FROM THE OHIO CONGREGATIONAL ASSOCIATION. + + REPORT ON THE A.M.A. BY REV. WASHINGTON GLADDEN, D.D. + +The work of the American Missionary Association appeals to the +churches of Ohio with cumulative urgency. "A.M.A.," as our stalwart +brother Pike used to say, are letters that stand for the darkened +races of this continent--the American, the Mongolian and the African. +To the Christian people of America, these tribes are entrusted; for +their enlightenment and Christianization, we are responsible. The +Government at Washington can do something toward protecting these +people in their political rights; but there is very little, after all, +that can be done for any people which does not know how to assert and +maintain its own rights. Liberty can never be a gratuity, it must +always be an achievement. Peoples, as well as individuals, must work +out their own salvation. The Negro at the South is cheated out of his +political rights, simply because he does not know how to claim them; +the Indian on the plains is defrauded of his property, because he does +not know how to protect himself. No matter how favorable the laws may +be to these hapless people, they will be oppressed and impoverished +and kept in a condition of semi-slavery, unless they know how to use +the laws in their own advantage. Education, therefore, is the only +effectual remedy for their wrongs. To awaken their minds, to arouse +the energies of hope, to show them that they are made in God's image +and that they have a right to all the liberties of the laws of God, is +the only way to complete and secure their emancipation from bondage +and from barbarism. + +This is the work to which the American Missionary Association calls us +all. It is our just pride as Congregationalists that through this +Association more has been done for the true enfranchisement of the +freedmen than through any other agency, and it is our duty to see that +this great work, in which we have borne so large and honorable a part, +halt not nor slacken in its energy because of our failure to keep its +treasury replenished and its faithful laborers re-enforced and +supported by our gifts and our prayers. + + * * * * * + + + FACTS AND FIGURES. + +The sum total of all the contributions of all the benevolent agencies +for the evangelization and education of the Negro in the South, is +seventeen cents per year for each person. + +This seventeen cents includes whatever is done in missionary colleges +and in all educational missions, as well as in the direct church work. + +In twenty-one years from 1841 to 1861 there were twenty-one crops of +cotton raised by slave labor, which aggregated 58,441,906 bales. +{149} + +In the twenty-one years from 1865 to 1885 there were twenty-one crops +of cotton which aggregated 93,389,031 bales. + +That is, by free labor there was an excess over the productions of +slave labor of 34,947,125 bales, or nearly 35,000,000 bales. The value +of 35,000,000 bales of cotton produced by free labor in excess of the +product of slave labor cannot have been less than $2,000,000,000, or +about the full valuation of all the slaves who were made free by the +war, had they been sold at the ruling prices. The gain is due not only +to the emancipation of the blacks, but to the emancipation of the +whites from enforced idleness. + +The cotton factories of the world annually require about 12,000,000 +bales of cotton, American weight. Good land in Texas produces one bale +to the acre. The world's supply of cotton could be grown on less than +19,000 square miles, or upon an area equal to only seven per cent. of +the area of Texas. + + * * * * * + + + THE COLOR-LINE QUESTION: WHAT IS IT? + +1. It is not the question of _social_ equality. No one doubts the +right of individuals, or the family, or the social circle, to draw +their lines of association and fellowship at their own pleasure, +whether at wealth, rank, fashion, talent, or anything else. To +confound this with the real question, is not candid. + +2. Still less is it the question of the inter-marriage of the races. +Here, individual preference is undeniable. To claim that this is the +question, and to ask tauntingly: "Do you want your daughter to marry a +_nigger_?" is ungentlemanly and unworthy of an answer. + +3. The question is: Shall a line be drawn between the white and black +races, giving rights and privileges in Church and State to the one +race, which are denied to the other, solely because of race or color? +In other words: Shall a line be drawn which shall separate the +Negroes, and assign them as a race to the position of inferiors +irrespective of merit or character, and merely on the ground of race +or color? + +To narrow the discussion, we leave out of view the civil or political +aspect of the question and confine ourselves to the religious, and we +propose to give a few illustrations. A Negro in every way qualified, +in character, piety, and intelligence, applies for membership in a +white church. Shall the color-line be drawn and he be refused +admission for no other reason than that he is a Negro? This does not +imply that the whites and blacks should be urged or persuaded to unite +in all churches or in any church. It may be conceded that the blacks +generally do not desire to unite with white churches, and that, in +their present state of culture, it may not always be for their +edification to do so. But where an individual Negro _does_ believe +that it would be for his edification and growth in grace to belong to +a white church, shall the color that God stamped on him, or the race +in which God gave him his birth, be a sufficient reason {150} for +refusing him? The question and the principle apply equally if the +Negro should be given to understand that while he would not actually +be refused admission, yet the preference of the church would be that +he should not apply; nay, we do not see why the principle is not the +same if the well-known attitude of the church on the race question +should be such that the Christian self-respect of the Negro would not +allow him to make the application. + +Again, shall colored churches, conferences or presbyteries be formed +on the same territory _in order that_ the colored members may not +unite with the white churches, conferences or presbyteries? Shall a +line be run between the races on the simple ground of race or color, +and irrespective of character, convenience or choice, so that the +Negro as a church member shall not be allowed to choose the church he +shall join, or as a minister the option as to his conference or +presbytery? For one race to demand such a line of separation, is to +consign the other race to a position of inferiority as humiliating as +it is discouraging. Such is the demand of race prejudice, and such the +position of inferiority in which it insists on placing the Negro. +Slavery held the Negro there, and since emancipation, this +race-separation is intended to accomplish the same purpose. The +Southern white man makes no objection to the race or color of the +Negro, but only to his position as an equal. He was not merely +tolerated, he was more than tolerated, as a slave, and he is now as a +servant. + +The present controversy in regard to the color-line is calling forth +some frank admissions from intelligent white men at the South. Thus +the Rev. Wm. H. Campbell, an Episcopal clergyman of South Carolina, +vindicates his refusal to sit in Convention with the Negroes by the +inferiority which the Almighty has stamped upon them. Mr. Campbell +says: + + "The Bishop does not understand or appreciate the reasons why some + of us cannot, under any circumstances, sit in Convention with + Negroes. The objections commonly made need not here be referred to. + The difficulty with some of us is not 'on account of color,' as it + is usually, but not with strict accuracy, put; for some Negroes are + as white as some white men, but because they are of an inferior + race, so made by the Almighty and never intended by him to be put + on an equality with the white race, in either Church or State." + +The question at issue is not one of expediency, but of principle; and, +among Christians, whether in the individual church or the +ecclesiastical body, it is a question of Christian duty to be settled +by the Divine authority of the Master himself. We propose no argument +on the subject, but content ourselves by quoting a few well-known +passages of Scripture, which, though familiar, have lost neither their +significancy nor their authority. In the end, the voice of God must be +decisive. + + "And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all + the face of the earth." + + "God hath showed me that I should call no man common or unclean." + +{151} + + "Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons, but in + every nation, he that feareth Him and worketh righteousness is + accepted with Him." + + "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, + there is neither male nor female, for ye are all one in Christ." + + "Inasmuch as ye have not done it unto one of the least of these, my + brethren, ye have not done it unto me." + + * * * * * + + +Secretary Roy, in the _Advance_, controverts the statement of the +_Herald and Presbyter_, that the Congregationalists have come to +consent to separate ecclesiastical bodies on the ground of color. Dr. +Roy supposes that this conclusion may have been jumped at because of +the formation of a new Congregational Association in Georgia, which is +an outcome from the Congregational Methodist churches there. The +_Interior_, evidently with gladness, makes the same assertion. The +_Christian Union_ replies to this, saying, "We do not think this is +true; _but, if it is, so much the worse for the Congregationalists!_" +We may say with Dr. Roy, that nothing is more certain than that in the +New Empire that is growing before our eyes, the Congregational +churches of this century will not turn towards the dark ages, and will +not put themselves to shame by refusing to fellowship with the +disciples of Christ on the ground of caste. Such a proposition would +have the scorn of our National Council. + +The Christianity of our churches will not fall behind the humanity of +Victor Hugo, who said, "I have had in my hand the gloved and white +palm of the upper class and the heavy black hand of the lower class, +and have recognized that both are the hands of man." + +The Congregational churches may not be quoted as countenancing this +great wickedness against God and man. + + * * * * * + + + FROM ADDRESS OF REV. E.T. FLEMING OF GEORGIA, IN THE BROADWAY TABERNACLE + OF NEW YORK. + +"I suppose it will be necessary to tell you that I am a Negro, that I +was born a slave. We are struggling against difficulties. We meet with +a great deal of opposition. A case comes to mind which shows something +of this opposition. I went out into what we call the Bottom District. +The church there was dirty. I went to work and got a sufficient amount +of money to buy a barrel of lime. It took me a week to get enough +money to buy a barrel of lime. Another brother and myself got the +barrel of lime there on a wheel-barrow. We whitewashed the church +inside and out, and finished the job about half-past eleven o'clock. +It was too late to return to the city, and we agreed to sleep in the +church. The next morning, I was surprised to hear a great noise on the +outside, and opening the door, looked out and saw a lean, lank, white +woman. She was calling to her daughter, "Louisa, Louisa, come here." +Her daughter {152} came to her mother and said, "My ---- ----, they +have painted the nigger church white. We must put a stop to that." +They said we would have to move the church, on the ground that they +were not going to stand anything of that kind. These are the things +that meet us in opposition there. I was myself refused admittance to a +Gospel Tent where a distinguished evangelist from the North was +preaching." + + * * * * * + + + A STRIKING STATEMENT. + +In one of the hotels in Columbia, South Carolina, among the +collections of an excellent library, is a book which bears the seal of +the State of South Carolina, giving much statistical information as to +the geological character of the State, its agricultural resources, its +mineral products and the peculiarities of its population. From its +pages, the following extract is taken, which is reproduced here for +its suggestiveness. It seems incredible, and yet the authority is +wholly Southern and has the imprint of the State. It is as follows: + + "No effort adequate to even an approximate determination + statistically of the intermixture of the White and Negro races has + as yet been undertaken. Mr. Patterson, quoted in an authoritative + work upon '_The Resources and Population of South Carolina_,' and + published by the _State Board of Agriculture_ in 1883, as one who + has given much attention to the subject, says, even now there are + no longer Negroes. One-third has a large infusion of white blood, + another third has less, but still some, and of the other third it + would be difficult to find an assured specimen of pure African + blood. This, continues the report, is a startling statement; but in + the absence of statistics, whoever puts it to the test among his + Negro acquaintance will be surprised at the degree in which it + conforms to the facts. If the lineage of those Negroes whose color + and features seem most unmistakably to mark them as of purely + African descent, be traced, indubitable evidence may often be + obtained of white parentage more or less remote." + + * * * * * + + + MISAPPLIED BENEFACTIONS. + +The judicious placing of benefaction is a large part of the good of +it. Is it wisely located? Will it be permanent? Will it be +reproductive? Will it be in the hands of persons suitably responsible +for the administration of it? Will it be under a fitting supervision? +The cause appeals to sympathy; does it also carry the mark of good +judgment? For lack of this double endorsement, not a little of +generous giving is thrown away. It is a fine piece of romance; does it +proffer a sufficient security upon the proffered investment of the +Lord's money? + +A worthy Christian woman brings the scheme. It is laid upon the +mountains of East Tennessee, thrust up into notoriety by the writing +of Charles Egbert Craddock. A lady of faith and hope and energy, {153} +proposes to build up an industrial farm-school of high quality for the +neglected girls of that mountain district. She has already been +teaching a common-school among them. She comes up to a city of New +England. She lays her plan before some of the noble women there. They +take it up without further inquiry as to the feasibility of the +undertaking. With their first contributions an old worn-out farm is +bought in the lady's name, and in the cheap farm-house a small school +is opened. The location is in an out-of-the-way neighborhood, three or +four miles from the little, old, tumble-down county seat. Now a fine +building is to be secured. The lady patrons raise their offerings up +to six thousand dollars. Fine architectural plans are devised at the +North. Meantime, speculators on the ground, who for a few cents an +acre have bought up a great quantity of land adjoining and would be +glad to sell it at a dollar an acre, have donated a hundred acres, +more or less, to the school. On this tract the building is located and +goes forward. The frame is put up and pretty much enclosed. For want +of money the enterprise comes to a stand, and now for these four years +the stranded structure has been taking damage from the storms. + +The place has been visited repeatedly by the superintendents of the +A.M.A., to find the state of the case and to see if anything could be +done to utilize the partial plant. The pastor of the lady donors +became interested to save the investment through the A.M.A., or to +stop the pouring of more funds into the venture, but after all his +correspondence and personal conference, he found that, if the whole +property were to be offered to the Association, it could not afford to +accept it and undertake to carry forward the school. It already has a +prosperous academy in that county and another in an adjoining county, +and these, wisely located in congenial communities, are all that is +needed for those and for contiguous counties. There is no way to +utilize it, Alas, "Wherefore this waste?" + +An Orphanage for colored children is a tempting charity. The A.M.A +early undertook such work. At Wilmington, N.C., and at Atlanta, Ga., +it bought lands and erected ample buildings, but the experiment +satisfied the authorities that the Association was not called to that +department of work. The children's god-fathers and god-mothers, in +devotion to their covenant, or grand-parents from personal interest, +would soon be taking them out, and others having care of them would +call them out as soon as, by some growth and training, the scholars +were made profitable for work, and so those properties were sold and +the avails put into the ordinary educational process. Then the +conclusion was reached that this was the obligation of the local +communities, and _not of foreign charity_. According to this idea, an +Orphanage in a Southern city, undertaken not by the patronage or +approval of the A.M.A., though made to appear so because the +originator had been under its commission there as a missionary, has +been transferred to a local board and to the support of the city {154} +and county. That is as it should be. Those local authorities ought to +take care of their own orphans, and not appeal to the charity of the +North to relieve them of their proper burdens of humanity. + +Another so-called Orphanage at still another Southern city, started as +an individual venture. It was allowed for a short time to have a +conditional endorsement from the A.M.A., which was soon withdrawn and +the enterprise disowned. This has swallowed up thousands of dollars of +the money of benevolence, and yet it has all the time been a sham and +a falsehood. There was nothing of it. When a lady newspaper +correspondent called to visit the institution, ten or a dozen children +from a neighboring private school were borrowed and paraded as +orphans, when at the time there were only two little children in the +concern, and they had grandparents living near and abundantly able to +take care of them. "Wherefore this waste?" + +In yet another Southern city, a couple of young ladies start a school. +Having once been under commission of the A.M.A., in connection with +its institutions, they appear to many to have its endorsement and they +make appeal to its constituents. Money comes along for a work +irresponsibly begun and without supervision. Only a year goes by +before they appeal by their leaflet-paper for several thousand dollars +to buy land and build a home and school property. Who but they shall +hold and own the property? Whose shall it be when they marry or grow +weary of the work and leave? What protection is there for such +misplaced benefaction? + +By no means would the Association seek to interfere with donations to +individuals where the donors investigate for themselves and assume the +responsibility, but it is not fair that we should be held as +apparently responsible for movements that we disown, and it is not +fair to our constituents that we should allow them to remain under the +impression that in giving to irresponsible projects, they are favoring +such as are endorsed by us. + +Thirty-five years ago the Congregational Union was initiated in the +Albany Convention on purpose to protect Eastern friends from the +miscellaneous and irresponsible and persistent solicitation for +individual church enterprise. It is the business of that Society to +receive, inspect and decide upon all such applications. Take it away +and the flood gates would be lifted again. No less in the cause of +missionary education is such discretionary service needed. + + * * * * * + + + THE NEGRO QUESTION. + +This is the title of a recent brochure by George W. Cable, published +by the American Missionary Association. With the most vigorous and +courageous devotion to the question that "is the gravest in American +affairs," Mr. Cable addresses himself to the problem and to the answer +that should be made to it. His apprehension of injustice is so keen +and true, {155} and his seriousness, in view of the weariness and +offence that the whole subject gives to a great majority of the +people, is so urgent, that the paper has been criticized as +pessimistic, and as an impatient cry against evils that are speedily +being rectified. We may say that the optimistic view of evils never +did much to correct them, and that those who are patient with wrongs +will never create a sentiment against them. To us, this seems the +voice of a prophet pleading for righteousness to man and righteousness +in the land. + + * * * * * + + + OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. + +Among the recent issues of the press, none has been more effective and +deservedly popular than the pamphlet entitled, "OUR COUNTRY," written +by our esteemed friend, Rev. Josiah Strong, D.D. It has aroused public +attention in a remarkable degree, and has opened the way for a career +of most promising usefulness to the author. + +Our only regret in reading these stirring pages, has arisen from the +fact, that in its survey it leaves almost entirely out of account +nearly one third part of our country, namely, the South, a part, too, +that contains as many elements of future trouble to the nation, and +elements, too, that if properly dealt with, can minister as largely to +the nation's future prosperity, as any other portion. Our object in +penning this item is to suggest that some man of equal diligence in +collecting facts, and of equal skill in handling them, shall write a +book entitled, "Our _Whole_ Country," that shall omit no part of it. + + * * * * * + + + A SAMPLE OF SOUTHERN CHURCH WORK. + +The Rev. G.W. McClellan, a graduate of Fisk University and recently a +student at Hartford Theological Seminary, has formed a "_Boys' +Christian Association_" in connection with his church work in +Louisville. The boys meet on Friday evenings for literary exercises, +and the following are some of the questions debated this winter. + +1. _Resolved_, That Washington was a greater general than Grant. + +2. _Resolved_, That capital punishment ought to be abolished. + +3. _Resolved_, That strikes are right and necessary. + +4. _Resolved_, That boys, as a rule, after graduation from the High +School, should go to College. + + * * * * * + + + EXTRACTS FROM EXAMINATION PAPERS. + +Question. _What was the Dred Scott decision?_ + +Answer. "The Dred Scott decision declared that slave owners could +carry their slaves into any territory except their own." +{156} + +Another Answer. "Dred Scott decision was, that protected tariff should +be kept out of the territories." + +Question. _What are ocean currents?_ + +Answer. "The Ocean currant is a celebrated meal-storm on the coast of +Norway." + + * * * * * + + + A STRAW. + +A few days since, there was an examination of candidates for positions +as teachers in the New Orleans public schools. Four of our Straight +University girls presented themselves, three graduates and one an +undergraduate, and all passed the examination, receiving respectively +94, 93, 92 and 87 per cent., and three were at once given good +positions. + + * * * * * + + + IN MEMORIAM. + +Another good man has gone to his reward. Rev. Geo. J. Tillotson, who +has perpetuated his name in the Tillotson Institute, Austin, Texas, +died March 29th, at his home in Wethersfield, Conn. His useful life +was spent in that State. He was born in Farmington, Feb. 5, 1805, was +graduated at Yale in 1825, studied theology in the Yale Seminary one +year and at Andover for two years, completing his theological studies +in 1830. He had several long pastorates, which he filled with great +fidelity and success. From 1876 he was not employed as a pastor, but +devoted himself with great assiduity to various modes of promoting the +Redeemer's kingdom. He had practised economy and had the means to +give, and this he did with a discriminating, and yet a liberal, hand. +To the founding of the Tillotson Institute, he gave not only from his +own resources, but devoted his time and energies to collecting funds +from his friends. But his benefactions were not confined to one +object; he had a broad sympathy for every good cause. He was a man of +genial temperament, and closed his useful career after a short illness +in the 84th year of his age. + + * * * * * + + + THE RADICAL FORCES OF CHRISTIANITY, AS EXHIBITED IN THE WORK OF THE + AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION. + +BY REV. J.W. COOPER, D.D. + +The work of Christ is the work of Christianity. By the "radical forces +of Christianity," we mean the simple spirit of the Master, in its +original and energetic operation. We are dealing with no abstractions, +neither are we considering the operation of human agencies. What +Christ was in his earthly ministry, that Christianity is, because of +His living presence {157} in the church to-day. Wherever we discover +the working of those principles which were exemplified in his life, +there He is present in living power, the inspirer of the endeavor, and +the strength of it. The claim that the work of the American Missionary +Association makes upon our attention, may be presented in a variety of +forms. Its work is commended to us, for example, because it is +patriotic, that is, it makes its appeal to our self-interest. The +instinct of self-preservation demands that we sustain it. Four and a +half millions of Negroes in our Southern States are utterly +illiterate. Half that number of Southern whites are in the same +deplorable condition. These men are citizens. They hold the ballot. +Our free institutions are not safe in such hands as these. Education +is an absolute necessity. This wide-spreading and dense ignorance, +among masses of free American people, must be speedily overcome. We do +not wonder, therefore, that Andrew D. White in his scholarly address, +"The Message of the 19th Century to the 20th," puts the education of +the South first among the many great and pressing problems that claim +the attention of statesmen. It is a matter of self-interest and +self-preservation. + +This work commends itself, also, because of its justice. It appeals as +a duty, to every enlightened conscience. The ignorance of the Negro, +and the degradation of the Indian, are more our fault than theirs. We +owe it to them, as a matter of simple justice, that we now make +reparation, as best we can, for the wrong done to them in the past. If +we, as a nation, have helped push them down, we ought to help lift +them up. It is a burden which stern justice lays upon us. + +But I turn from all such impressive arguments as these, to find +another and altogether different motive to this work, one which the +statesman may consider of little worth, the appeal of which mere +conscience may not feel, but, which to the Christian heart must ever +be more powerful and persuasive than all other motives that can be +named. This work commends itself to us, because it is a Christly work. +The spirit of the Master is in it. The radical forces of Christianity +are exemplified by it. This Society may stand forth before the world +to-day, and without any sacrifice of humility or reverence, opening +the book and finding the place where it is written, it may say, in +concert with the Master himself, "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon +me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, he +hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim deliverance to +the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound, to +proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord that He might be glorified." +And here is its strongest claim upon our sympathy and support. + +That this representation is not an exaggerated one, and that the claim +is in no way over-stated, we shall see more clearly as the comparison +is followed out in detail. The work which this Association has in hand +will {158} bear the test of analysis. It is not only a Christian work, +it is a work which, from the beginning, has called into exercise the +fundamental principles of Christianity. It exemplifies Christianity in +its most original and essential features. + + I.--A RADICAL FAITH. + +As I look into this work, the first thing that impresses me is the +faith that inspired it. It was a most sublime undertaking. It began, +so far as relates to its present fields of labor, with the millions of +freedmen just emancipated from two and a half centuries of bondage. +What this bondage signified, this present generation will find it +difficult to realize. For years it had been a crime to teach them the +alphabet. They had been bought and sold like cattle. Their lives were +a daily school in sensual immorality, deceit and dishonesty. Every +manly aspiration, and womanly feeling, was smothered at its birth. +They had come from savagery to slavery, and in a day, without training +or preparation, they were set free. It is no wonder that they were +ignorant, indolent, degraded and despised. As one of their own number +says, "We came into bondage naked and destitute of worldly goods, we +went out of it penniless, homeless and almost characterless." Now it +was this mass of degraded humanity that this Association set itself to +elevate and Christianize, and it did it with a calm assurance and +serene hope which no obstacle has as yet been able to disturb. The +road has been a long and hard one, but it did not anticipate an easy +time or miraculous success. It has met with new and perhaps unexpected +difficulties. It may be that all the workers would say what the +President of Talladega writes in a recent letter, "The magnitude of +the obstacles are more and more real to me as I live and work." But +they still live and they still work, never doubting the final result. +If you want to find men who have undying faith in the future of the +black race, go to those who, in the spirit of their Master, are +toiling night and day, under the commission of this Society, for its +elevation. + +In the same spirit, also, this Association has welcomed new labors and +entered into new fields. When Chinamen were to be Christianized, +immediately it had great faith for the Chinese. When the Indian +missions were laid upon it, then it saw wonderful possibilities in the +red man. And now, last of all, when some million or two of +long-forgotten and neglected "Mountain Whites" are brought to its +attention, it sees in these abjectly poor, dispirited and +superstitious people, only another opportunity for elevating humanity, +and proving the power of Christianity to restore the lost manhood of +every race. + +These servants of God are not engaged in a forlorn hope. They have +faith. Wherever they work there they expect results, not only in the +saving of individual souls, but in regenerating whole races of men. A +Christian woman, missionary to the poor whites among the mountains of +East {159} Tennessee, under the inspiration of her great faith, writes +home to her friends, "We can almost hear the bells ring in unreared +steeples, and hear the songs from choirs that are as yet totally +oblivious to the spirit of melody, and enter into the heart-worship of +the prayer meetings that are to be when shall have been fulfilled the +prophecy, that 'to the people which sat in darkness and the shadow of +death, light is sprung up'." Such buoyant, hopeful faith as this, so +clear and beautiful in its confidence in the promises of God, is one +of the "radical forces" which command, while they inspire, this holy +work. + + II.--A RADICAL LOVE. + +But what may be called the special characteristic of this Society +among missionary organizations doing work in our own land, that which +establishes its special claim upon hearts of Christian people, is the +radical spirit of love there is in it. It exemplifies in a most +practical way, the brotherhood of man. It repudiates caste. It is +absolutely color-blind. It works for the despised. It helps those who +are themselves the most helpless. This is no newly-discovered fact. I +remember the first sermon I ever heard in behalf of this work, more +than twenty years ago; it was drawn from the Parable of the Good +Samaritan. The text was, "Who is my neighbor?" The address of the +honored late President of this Association at the close of the last +Annual Meeting which he attended, was in the trend of this very same +Scripture. "This organization," he said, "is the Good Samaritan, +loving to bestow its aid upon the poorest and most despised, the most +severely wounded races of our country." The sermon, a score of years +ago, told us that our neighbor was the Negro, just then made free. So +said President Washburn, "If you can point out to this organization +any race that needs its assistance, whether colored or white, there is +the legitimate field of this Association." + +It would seem that a law so emphatically taught by Jesus Christ as the +common brotherhood of man, and so familiar to the world, would long +ago have been accepted and adopted in the practice of Christian +nations, especially by a Christian Republic within its own borders. +But, instead of that, it is the hardest of all laws for us to learn +and the most difficult of all to put in operation. Our policy toward +the general colored races in this land has been one of cold-hearted +and cruel selfishness. As ex-Senator Brace has said, speaking in +behalf of his own people, "From the red race was taken their lands, +from the yellow their labor, from the black their persons. The red +race was gradually driven toward a setting sun; the yellow race, the +rabble demanded to be driven from the country; the black man was a +slave in chains, with no rights which the Constitution recognized." + +These unjust prejudices are by no means altogether a thing of the +past. They are not as violent as they once were, thanks to the +influence {160} of this Association, but they still exist. "Niggers," +are still ordered out of Southern churches. Many a professed Christian +still wants his Indian "dead." This work has all along been compelled +to fight its way against suspicion, bigotry and hatred; it must do so +still, because it recognizes man as man, whether his skin be white or +black, red or yellow; and, in taking this radical ground, it is +interpreting to the world the benevolent spirit of the Saviour, and is +preparing the way for that universal reign of love on earth which He +came to establish. Such a work as this is the salvation of our +Christianity. Without it, one of the chief evidences for Christianity +would be taken away, and the spirit of it would die. Standing before a +congregation of white men, Negroes and Indians, with a Chinamen or two +to make the tale complete, President Mark Hopkins last May dedicated +the new chapel at Hampton to the worship of Almighty God. He voiced +the sentiment of this whole Association when he said, "Here will be +taught and promoted a Christianity as narrow in its creed as revealed +truth, and as broad in its love as humanity!" "A creed as narrow as +revealed truth." Yes! we want no inspirations from outside the sacred +book. "A love as broad as humanity." By all means, yes! for no smaller +measure will satisfy the demands of that book or fulfil the will of +the Master. + + III.--A RADICAL CONSECRATION. + +Another principle required in this work and exemplified by it, is a +thorough-going consecration. The men and women who have taken up this +work, have followed Christ in his self-abnegation. There is no worldly +honor in it. It is not an easy life. You know well enough how these +devoted missionaries have braved social ostracism, and shut themselves +in to their lowly ministry. With the Christly "sympathy of +identification," they have made themselves one with their despised +brethren, bearing their burdens, sharing their privations, stooping to +meet their needs. What almost infinite patience it has sometimes +required, what forbearance and charity, we cannot know, but they have +served willingly and cheerfully, and found the sacrifice to be a joy. +And there are many of them, in school and church and home, in our +Southern land and in the Western wilds, who are serving there in a +spirit of self-abnegation and patient sacrifice, and whom God will +honor. These faithful workers are not martyrs; but there is something +heroic in their lives. It is the heroism of those who lay upon +themselves the lowliest duties, and perform them in the spirit of the +loftiest devotion. The work that calls forth such consecration as +this, so disinterested and sincere, bears its own letter of +commendation. The spirit of Him, who "came to minister, and to give +his life a ransom for many," is exemplified by it. + + IV.--A RADICAL METHOD. + +There is one thing more that I would mention. It is the radical {161} +method which this Association has adopted in doing its work. It has +never been satisfied with surface culture. It strikes down to the +roots of character. Not "quantity," but "quality," is manifestly its +motto. As an illustration of intelligent thoroughness in Christian +service, therefore, this Association commends itself to our regard. + +A decided advance was marked in missionary work when the church came +to see that not only the conversion of the heathen, but their +establishment in Christian character, was a legitimate object of +missionary endeavor. Francis Xavier in ten years visited fifty +kingdoms and baptized a million converts, but the ten years' labor of +some of our modern missionaries, spent in laying solid foundations and +thoroughly training a few chosen men, may, after all, come to more in +its permanent results upon the world, than all that was done by Rome's +great apostle. Jesus gave the best part of his three years of public +ministry to the training of twelve men. He might have baptised a +million. He preferred to do thorough work with a few. This Association +has acted upon this principle. It has sought to develop manhood and +womanhood after the pattern and by the power that is in Jesus Christ. +It calls to its aid every possible force. It educates the mind, the +heart, the conscience, the hand. It uses the church, the school, the +workshop and the Christian home. Character-building is its vocation, +the foundation Jesus Christ, the superstructure such as should stand +the test of fire. These oppressed races need above all things else +leaders from among themselves. It has been the endeavor of this +Society to furnish them--men and women of such moral and mental +quality as shall be fitted for the responsible position. They have +been taught to think, to work and to live. Because labor is a moral +force in establishing character, industrial education is introduced. +Nothing is too great to be attempted, nothing too trivial to be +omitted, the object always being the substantial development of moral +and Christian character. + +Such is this mission. It has gone forth in the spirit of Christ, with +faith and love and consecration, seeking to do an honest work with +thoroughness. God's blessing has been upon it. It has results to show +in the renovated and ennobled lives of thousands who have been the +subjects of its ministry; and its broader influence in the elevation +of the oppressed and despised races, begins even now to be clearly +apparent. It has been a faithful monitor to the churches which have +sustained it, an inspirer of their benevolence, an almoner of their +gifts, and an honor to their name. And beyond all this, standing for +those principles which are most essential and fundamental in +Christianity, it has glorified God by exhibiting to the world the +power of Christian faith and sacrifice. Those who have been bound of +Satan, lo, these many years, are loosed from their bonds and made free +in Christ. War has struck off the chains of human bondage. Love shall +now complete the emancipation. + + * * * * * + + +{162} + +THE SOUTH. + + * * * * * + + + "NOTES IN THE SADDLE." + +BY REV. C.J. RYDER, DISTRICT SECRETARY. + +The following, which was taken from the public records of a _white_ +school in Tennessee, illustrates the intellectual condition of a +portion of the white citizens of that and the other Southern States. +It also shows what kind of men have charge of public instruction in +some districts throughout the South. + + "TENN July --, 188-. + + "Rulus for scoul No 4. + + Teacher will not low the scoulars to scouful or clime or swhisparn + in time of Books; the Teacher can ad eney rulus to this he thinks + needud and eney Larg secular can not comer ounder rulus will have + to quit the scoul." + +These "rulus," as the word is spelled, were signed by two members of +the School Board by whom they were written. How strange, that in +localities in which there is such frightful illiteracy the school +authorities should fail to welcome, with large-hearted cordiality, +teachers who come among them. The white people, as well as the +colored, need missionary schools, as the illiteracy among them is +appalling. + +Think of it! Seven-tenths of one per cent. of the native white +population of Massachusetts are illiterate, while twenty-three per +cent. of the native white population of Georgia, and thirty-one per +cent. of the same population of North Carolina are illiterate!! Why +should not Georgia be proud of her educated (?) citizens, and do all +she dare to drive some of the best teachers there are in the State +outside her borders? + + * * * * * + + +Right in this connection it would be interesting to read the following +letter. A brief word of history, however, is necessary that it may be +understood. In 1878, a young man, a graduate of one of the leading New +England colleges, enlisted in the great army of A.M.A. teachers. He +was a quiet, unassuming, Christian student. The amazing ignorance of +the Southern people, both white and black, awoke his pity; and his +love, for his Saviour, and for his country, led him to give himself to +this most needy field. He was embarrassed and badgered by those who +ought to have welcomed him, and helped him in his work. This mean and +unworthy opposition with which our A.M.A. teachers are so familiar, +culminated in his case, in a series of letters in which his _life_ was +threatened. It was just before the election of President Cleveland. +There was evidently, a well-matured plan to drive him out of the +community, and to intimidate the Negroes so that they would not dare +to vote. The following was one of these letters: +{163} + + "Mr ---- deer Sir It is for your own good That I write This letter + to you you are an advocate for Social Equality with the white and + the Black race and the People are not going to Put up with any Such + doings and I write you this letter to warn you of The danger and + the great danger That you are in You must leve The country right + away for The People have Pledged Them Seves to get you out of the + contry or Kill you and That in a mity Short time Now as a frend I + do beg you to give this matter your emmediate attention I am very + truly your well wisher meaning Exactly wat I Say" + +I saw all these letters, and received this one from the hand of this +Christian hero. He said to me:--"I went to bed a good many nights +thinking that quite possibly I should be dragged out of my bed, and +beaten or hanged before morning." Notwithstanding this, he wrote on +the outside of the envelope the following words, and passed them +around among those whom he knew to be conspirators against him: + + "In answer to the enclosed, I will say to my 'Democratic and + inquiring friends,' that I expect to leave on or before Jan. 1st, + 1940, and that though I hoped to vote for 'St. John and + Prohibition,' I have now decided to vote for 'Blaine and the + Protection of all citizens in their political and civil rights.'" + +When he gave me this letter, he took a promise that it should not be +published until after his death. He passed away in the triumph of his +sweet, but heroic faith a few months ago. He died where he had +suffered and dared for Christ's sake, in the midst of this ignorance +and sin. + +Such stories as his ought to be told. It is cowardly timidity for +those of us who know them, to keep them from the Christian public. +Heroes and heroines answer to the roll-call of A.M.A. workers. I have +met them and mingled with them, the past three years, and I know the +sinew and fibre of their courageous faith. You, who send them out, and +who support them in the field, ought to know what they endure, and +hear, now and then, an incident of their heroism. + + * * * * * + + +Two cases of heroic self-denial have come under my notice recently. In +Macon there lives a colored woman whose husband is in an Insane +Asylum. Their home was recently burned to the ground. She has four +{164} small children with her, the eldest of whom is eleven years old, +who are dependent upon her for support. She earns just eight dollars +per month, and yet she sends one girl, aged fifteen, to Atlanta +University! + +A young man, whose father was a white man and who is himself a blonde, +has been urgently invited by his white grandmother to come to her home +and take the position of her son's child. She is a wealthy woman, +owning a large plantation. The young man's father, her son, is dead. +The boy would have all the privileges of a wealthy young white man and +inherit the property on his grandmother's death. The sole condition +which the grandmother makes is that he shall give up all association +with his octoroon mother and refuse to recognize her in any way. Thank +God, the boy is too true to his gentle and loving mother to enter into +any such arrangement, even though the bribe offered is thousands of +dollars and a social position of great attractiveness. There is a +great deal of this quiet but heroic self-sacrifice among the colored +people in the South, that never finds its way into print. + + * * * * * + + + THE ALABAMA ASSOCIATION. + +PRESIDENT H.S. DEFOREST. + +The thirteenth annual meeting of the Alabama Association was held at +Salma, March 30th to April 3d, when the floods were at their highest, +yet fourteen of our seventeen churches were represented. The +Sunday-school Association convened a day earlier, and one afternoon +the Woman's Missionary Association had a session by itself. + +The opening sermon by Professor Andrews, was a powerful exposition of +Christian love, from the 13th of 1st Corinthians. One evening was +given to the higher, Christian education; one to three papers on "How +to Secure Homes," "The Home Indoors," and "Home Piety;" and the last +to three phases of the temperance question. Pastor C.B. Curtis, whose +church most generously entertained the Association, read a very +suggestive paper on "Self Support of the Churches," a pressing and +difficult question. Almost of necessity, when there is so much to be +done, and the resources are so small compared with the magnitude of +the undertakings, practical rather than theoretical questions come to +the front and engage earnest attention. + +After a most satisfactory examination, six young men from the +Theological Department of Talladega College were licensed to preach, +and it is noteworthy, that, besides this latest gift of Talladega to +the ministry, eleven of the fourteen churches represented at this +meeting of the Association are ministered to by Talladega College or +its graduates. It is a wonder that some man wishing to put a +comparatively small sum of money where it would increase with a +compound interest of blessedness till the latter-day glories have +fully come, does not endow the chair of Theology at Talladega, and his +brothers take up the same line of usefulness till both {165} College +and Seminary are presided for. Some who were taking the rudiments of +learning here but a few years ago, and who have continued their +training at very email expense, are now acceptably filling difficult +and responsible positions in school, in business and in church. There +is more of this work to be done, and to be allowed to help seems a +privilege precious enough to make life vastly desirable. + + * * * * * + + + TEMPERANCE WORK IN OUR SCHOOLS. + + Our esteemed neighbor at 58 Reade Street, Mr. J.N. Stearns, + Publishing Agent of the National Temperance Society, recently made + a visit to Florida. On his return trip, he visited several of the + A.M.A. schools in the South, and his practiced eye of course + detected the facts in regard to temperance instruction and + influence. We quote the following items: + +At Beach Institute, Savannah, under care of the American Missionary +Association, Miss A.A. Holmes principal, I found 230 pupils and a +strong temperance sentiment. The entire school receives sound +temperance instruction. Stirring temperance songs ring through the +halls. A Band of Hope holds regular meetings. "Mother Goose and Her +Temperance Family," was performed with great satisfaction by the +pupils, and a photograph group of the actors taken and preserved as a +memento of the occasion. "Alcohol and Hygiene" and the "Catechism on +Alcohol" are among the studies. + +At Charleston I found Avery Institute slowly recovering from the +effects of the earthquake which effectually scattered its students. +Over 200, however, were now in attendance, under the auspices of the +American Missionary Association, with Professor M.A. Holmes principal. +Temperance is a cardinal virtue here, but they greatly need a +temperance library and other literature. All these schools have a +severe struggle to sustain their ordinary work, and must depend +largely upon outside help for temperance literature. They can use to +great advantage and carefully distribute, without expense, to the +community round about if only the material is furnished. + +At Wilmington, N.C., a great work has been accomplished. It has 20,000 +inhabitants, 12,000 of which are colored. In 1881, when the vote on +prohibition was taken in the State, it was all against the +proposition. A wonderful change for the better has taken place. I had +a most pleasant visit to Gregory Institute of 250 pupils, Mr. George +A. Woodard principal. This is also under the American Missionary +Association. "Alcohol and Hygiene" is taught in the higher branches +and temperance pervades every department. An open temperance society, +with Rev. George S. Rollins president, holds regular evening meetings, +with temperance songs, recitations, dialogues, essays and speeches, +for entertainment and instruction. The regular meeting occurred the +evening I was in town, and I greatly enjoyed the exercises. Carolina +Mills was proposed for {166} membership, and a committee of three +appointed to "investigate and report." The report was "favorable," and +read in regular order and adopted. The candidate came forward to take +the pledge, and proved to be a young man of genuine African descent. +The entire programme was rendered with great credit to all concerned. + + * * * * * + + +THE INDIANS. + + LETTER FROM AN INDIAN CHIEF IN DAKOTA. + + My Dear Sir:----Will you Please I have got your letter and I was + vey glad--and vey Good letter--and I tell My Indian friends all + good men and We are vey glad to see your good paper.

WOLFE, Chief. + + * * * * * + + +THE CHINESE. + + EVANGELISTIC WORK. + +It is now nearly five months since our evangelists went forth, and the +record of their work, if I had both grace and space to give it in +graphic detail, could not but interest the readers of the MISSIONARY. +Chin Toy was to labor in our more northern missions, viz., Stockton, +Sacramento, Marysville and Oroville, and Loo Quong was to go south to +Santa Barbara and San Diego and certain other cities where Chinese had +congregated, but in which there appeared to be none to care for their +souls. Subsequently another brother entered the field, Yong Jin, +laboring first at Santa Cruz, and now at Tucson, Arizona. + +The intention was to give one month of service at each mission, and +one gratifying feature of our experience has been that at no point has +this {167} one month been deemed sufficient. In every case an urgent +plea has come for a longer visit and a larger work. In some cases, as +with Chin Toy in Sacramento, and Loo Quong at San Diego, it has been +necessary to yield to these appeals. The work needed could not be +fulfilled in the month assigned. But in general we have adhered to the +original plan, so as to cover the whole field. + +The results have justified the undertaking. The work of these brethren +has been greatly blessed, first of all, to those who were already +believers in Jesus. They have been taught the truth more perfectly. +They have had their conceptions of a Christian's duty and a +Christian's privileges raised. They have been brought into closer +harmony with each other. It is too much to expect, perhaps, in view of +facts as they transpire in churches of American Christians--Christians +"to the manner born"--that our little groups of Chinese believers born +as "aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the +covenants of promise," should be free from all envies and jealousies, +walking always in brotherly love. We wish it were so, but our wish is, +as yet, but partially fulfilled. Our evangelists have so presented +Christ, and so magnified the duty and the blessing of brotherly love, +and so exercised, also, their gifts of Christian diplomacy, as to +become peace-makers, and to restore a truly spiritual order at points +where chaos seemed impending. + +They have been "in labors abundant." The following from Yong Jin, at +Santa Cruz, puts in fewest words their ordinary work: "This school has +nineteen or twenty scholars. About sixteen come to take the lesson +every evening. Mrs. Willett teach and I teach. [_i.e._ during the +usual school session from 7 till 9 p.m.] After the school is out, I +teach them the Bible lesson about half so long. [_i.e._ from 9.15 till +10.15 p.m.] Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings gave them the Bible +lesson of Chinese. Wednesday and Friday evenings, the Bible lesson of +English. Saturday evenings we have meeting. Sunday noon, I did preach +in the street--three times since I came here." With this is associated +constant visiting of such Chinese as either cannot or will not attend +the school, seeking to sow beside all waters. Also study; in some +cases aided through the kindness of some resident pastor, for these +brethren have entered upon this work untrained except in the work +itself, and one point of greatest moment in their present service is +to learn how to render better service in the years to come. Street +preaching is undertaken wherever possible. What a hearing can be +secured if only some American Christians will cooperate, was well +illustrated in the experience of Loo Quong at San Diego. I cite the +following sentences: "This afternoon we have a grand time in preaching +the good news of Jesus to the Chinese. There were more than _ten_ good +people who had gathered there to help me in the singing. After half an +hour of hard talk, [_i.e._, earnest laborious speaking,] then Mr. +Kirby, an old gentleman, next is Rev. Dr. Harwood, then a stranger. +{168} + +All these speakings I have put in Chinese and they were listened to by +at least a thousand Chinese and whites. Among the helpers were Mrs. +Noble and Mrs. McKensie and the whole family of Rev. Dr. Harwood. +Besides these were many other good Christian ladies who stood around +me and were given willing lips to join the singing. I cannot tell you +all about our street preaching here. I will leave it for you to think +about and enjoy. Amen." + +God has used this preaching of the Word, not only to edify the +brethren, but to bring men to repentance. The numbers may seem small +when compared with those reported by our American evangelists laboring +among the tens of thousands in our great cities, but, under the +circumstances, they are very cheering. At Stockton, 1; Sacramento, 1; +San Buenaventura, 3; San Diego, 3; Oakland, 4; San Francisco, 5; +Tucson, 5; Santa Barbara, 7; Santa Cruz, 11. Total 40. This is the +harvest of the past five months. If the work of the whole year should +yield corresponding returns, it will be the most fruitful of our whole +history. Much remains unsaid, for which I may find space hereafter. + +WM. C. POND. + + * * * * * + + +The Chinese have been considered by many impervious to Christian +influence, but the following paragraph shows that by "deeds, not +words," the Oriental, sometimes, expresses his gratitude. Sometime ago +a Chinaman in a Sunday-school was taken ill, and, through the +influence of its superintendent, admission to a hospital was secured, +until he was able to return to his native land. But no word of thanks +was given for the faithful care and unwearied attentions he had +received, and only the assurance of the Master's approbation cheered +the hearts of those who had sowed the gospel truth in his name. The +weeks went by, when from over the sea came a living testimony of the +gratitude of this Chinamen in the form of his young son, whom he had +sent to America with the injunction to find the unforgotten +superintendent, and go to her Sunday-school. For five months now he +has been under her care, and at the recent reception given by the +Chinese scholars to their teachers, on their New Year, he wrote in a +clear, well-defined hand, every word correctly spelled, this letter to +his teacher, who had sent him her regrets that she could not be +present. + + My Dear Teacher: + + I thank you for your letter. I am sorry you could not come to the + supper last Monday night. I am glad you can teach me every Sunday. + I like to go to Sunday-school. Please write to me again. + + Yours truly---- + +Five months ago this boy was unable to speak or understand a word of +English; now he can read, write, and repeat the Lord's Prayer from +memory, a task he studied long and patiently to accomplish. + + * * * * * + + +{169} + +BUREAU OF WOMAN'S WORK. + +MISS D.E.

The +meeting was well attended, and encouraging reports were had from many +of the auxiliaries. The advantage of the local missionary societies to +the church and Sunday-school work was emphasized, and a desire for +more thorough local work was very apparent in the meeting. Many +subjects of interest were discussed. Among them the following: +Industrial Training in our Schools; Industrial Training in our Homes; +Should there be a Woman's Missionary Society in every church? If so, +the reason why every sister in the church should be a member; What +shall we do to make our Local Societies more active? + +Greetings of the Second Woman's Temperance Union of Alabama, were +presented at this meeting.

The letter below was written by +one of our most intelligent and earnest Christian workers--a colored +lady educated in one of our schools. + +"Our usual lines of work have gone on with about the same results, +except among the women. Our Woman's Prayer Meeting shows unusual +fervor, and we are expecting to make this meeting _felt_ in the +community and church. Satan seems on the war-path, and we women feel +that we must be wide-awake and closer to the Lord, if the power of +evil is to be checked. In our last meeting the one feeling each +expressed was: 'What can _I_ do? I feel that I am called to work for +the Master, but _what_ can I do for Christ?' In the struggle for +bread, the time of many of the women is used all the day; then the +house must be cared for, and when this is done, strength fails. I +tried to impress the thought that much is gained when a soul is +anxious to work for the Lord, and that such a soul will not be left +unguided, which seemed to comfort many a tired mother. + +"_My_ difficulty is different. I am perplexed to know which of the +many phases of Christian work to adopt for these women, and how to +keep up interest and attendance without multiplying meetings. I am +confident that our regular four weekly meetings and the regular +monthly meetings are all they can attend, yet they _need_ others. I am +often reminded of my dear mother's prayer which she used to cry out +when greatly tried in the days of slavery: 'Oh! for Job's patience and +Joshua's resolution, that we might all pull together like Pharaoh's +horses.' And I would add: 'Oh! for Solomon's wisdom and Samson's +strength, that we might understand and do the Lord's work.'" + + * * * * * + + +{171} + +RECEIPTS FOR APRIL, 1888. + + MAINE, $224.38. + +Acton.

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

However, if you provide access to or +distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than +"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version +posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org), +you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a +copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon +request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other +form. Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm +License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1. + +1.E.7.

Royalty payments + must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you + prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax + returns. Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and + sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the + address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to + the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation." + +- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies + you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he + does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm + License.

If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm +electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set +forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from +both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael +Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark. Contact the +Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below. + +1.F. + +1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable +effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread +public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm +collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain +"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or +corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual +property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a +computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by +your equipment. + +1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right +of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project +Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project +Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all +liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal +fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT +LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE +PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE +TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE +LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR +INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH +DAMAGE. + +1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a +defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can +receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a +written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you +received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with +your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with +the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a +refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity +providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to +receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy +is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further +opportunities to fix the problem. + +1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth +in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER +WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO +WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE. + +1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied +warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. +If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the +law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be +interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by +the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any +provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions. + +1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the +trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone +providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance +with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production, +promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works, +harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees, +that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do +or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm +work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any +Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause. + + +Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +https://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent +permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. + +The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S. +Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered +throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at +809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email +business@pglaf.org. Email contact links and up to date contact +information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official +page at https://pglaf.org + +For additional contact information: + Dr. Gregory B. Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's +eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII, +compressed (zipped), HTML and others. + +Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over +the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed. +VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving +new filenames and etext numbers. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + +EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000, +are filed in directories based on their release date. If you want to +download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular +search system you may utilize the following addresses and just +download by the etext year. + + https://www.gutenberg.org/etext06 + + (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99, + 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90) + +EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are +filed in a different way. The year of a release date is no longer part +of the directory path. The path is based on the etext number (which is +identical to the filename). The path to the file is made up of single +digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename. For +example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at: + + https://www.gutenberg.org/1/0/2/3/10234 + +or filename 24689 would be found at: + https://www.gutenberg.org/2/4/6/8/24689 + +An alternative method of locating eBooks: + https://www.gutenberg.org/GUTINDEX.ALL + + diff --git a/old/12134.zip b/old/12134.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..ad4486c --- /dev/null +++ b/old/12134.zip |
