+<h2 style="font-variant:small-caps;">American Missionary Association</h2>
+<hr />
+
+<p>It gives us great pleasure to announce that, at a recent meeting of
+our Executive Committee, Rev. Wm. M. Taylor, D.D., Pastor of the
+Broadway Tabernacle, New York, was elected President of the American
+Missionary Association.</p>
+
+<p>The death of our late honored President, ex-Governor Washburn,
+occurred so short a time before our last Annual Meeting, that no
+attempt was there made to elect his successor, but the matter was
+referred according to the Constitution, to the Executive Committee.
+After mature deliberation and with great unanimity, Dr. Taylor was
+elected. A brief extract from his letter accepting the position will
+indicate his sympathy with our work, and his heartiness in
+co-operating with us in this new relation.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;Your Association, alike by its history in the past and its work in
+the present, has a strong hold on my heart. It is doing a work much
+needed; one, too, which is intimately connected with the welfare of
+the nation, as well as with the future of the races among whom it
+specially labors. It has always been a joy to me to plead for it with
+my people from my pulpit, and I regard your selection of me as your
+President, as one of the highest honors of my life.&quot;</p>
+
+<hr class="short" />
+
+<p>We are glad to be able to mention, also, the election of Mr. Charles
+A. Hull as a member of our Executive Committee, in place of the
+honored and respected A.S. Barnes, deceased. Mr. Hull was formerly a
+member of the committee, but was compelled to retire on account of
+pressure of business. He now returns to his place cheerfully and to
+our great satisfaction.</p>
+
+<hr class="short" />
+
+<p><i>Who reads Missionary Magazines?</i>&mdash;We are glad to know that THE
+AMERICAN MISSIONARY has appreciative readers with quick eyes. From the
+last numbers we have noticed extracts and quotations in the <i>New York
+Observer</i>, the <i>Religious Herald</i>, the <i>Advance</i>, the <i>New York
+Tribune</i>, and the <i>New York Times</i>. We are more than willing.</p>

+<hr />
+<h3>THE INDIAN PROBLEM.</h3>
+
+<p>A good deal of ingenious ciphering has been done in endeavoring to
+solve this problem, and, withal, there has been a good deal of honest
+and efficient work. The Government has largely increased its
+appropriations from year to year, the Dawes Bill and other valuable
+legislation have been secured, so that steps looking towards the
+citizenship of the Indian have been attained. Appropriations have been
+granted to aid him in farming and other industrial pursuits, and it is
+not unlikely that in a short time provision will be made for the
+education in the common English branches of every Indian child.</p>
+
+<p>But all this is not sufficient. The Indian may have lands and
+citizenship and an English education, and yet, if he has no strong
+impulse towards civilization, no motive in his heart impelling him to
+be an industrious, self-supporting citizen&mdash;in short, if he has not a
+new heart looking to a new life as a citizen and a man, he will become
+a vagabond on the land granted him, and a skeptic in the school in
+which he is taught. The next few years will constitute a crisis in the
+rapidly changing condition of the Indian, and it is precisely at this
+point where the vital element of the Christian life must be infused
+into his character. To the Christian public, all other questions
+subordinate themselves to this, and this needs, not speculation, but
+hard work; legislation cannot do it, the church must; time will not do
+it, Christian teaching and example alone can. The vernacular question,
+so much agitated recently, is important only as it may hinder this
+practical work.</p>
+
+<p>The Indian problem is not perpetual. The Indian must soon be merged
+into the American, and whether this shall be for good or for ill, the
+church must decide, and decide speedily. We trust, therefore, that our
+constituents will aid us to extend, as rapidly as possible, that part
+of the work entrusted to us. We do not ask for expensive buildings or
+costly plant. We ask for the means to push forward with the teacher
+and the preacher among these uncivilized people till, when they come
+forth from their present anomalous condition, they shall come forth
+practical Christians, as well as intelligent and industrious citizens.</p>
+
+<hr />
+
+<h3>AN OUTRAGE.</h3>
+
+<p>Prof. G.W. Lawrence, teacher of our school at Jellico, Tenn., a
+gentleman of quiet and unobtrusive manners, was brutally assaulted by
+a man of that place, and was shot in three places; one ball entered
+the wrist and followed up the arm, coming out near the shoulder, a
+second went into the back of the shoulder, and a third is probably
+lodged in the lungs. The assault occurred May 18th, in the church in
+which Mr. Lawrence was holding the school, in the presence of his wife
+and scholars. The only provocation<a name="page197" id="page197"></a>
+<span class="newpage">[pg 197]</span>alleged, was that he had gone the
+night before to ask for the tuition of one of his scholars. He was met
+in an angry way by the woman, and the next day the husband, who does
+not live with his wife, came to the school and fired the shots. Prof.
+Lawrence is the brother-in-law of our highly esteemed and active
+Christian worker, Rev. A.A. Myers, who has not only done so much in
+promoting school and church work in Kentucky and Tennessee, but who
+has also been so zealous in promoting the cause of temperance. Prof.
+Lawrence sympathized and co-operated with Mr. Myers in this good work,
+and it is believed that liquor and liquor influence had much to do in
+inspiring the deed. As all the parties in this transaction were white,
+it is not at all probable that the color-line question had anything to
+do with it.</p>
+
+<p>The community was moved with intense indignation, and the assassin was
+speedily taken to the county jail to escape a lynching. A large
+meeting was subsequently held in the Baptist Church, and a committee
+was appointed to prosecute the perpetrator. Mr. Lawrence at this
+writing is in a very critical condition, but hopes are entertained of
+his ultimate recovery.</p>
+
+<hr />
+
+<h3>WADE HAMPTON.</h3>
+
+<p>We opened the June number of the <i>Forum</i> with the confident
+expectation that the article on &quot;<i>What Negro Supremacy Means</i>,&quot; by
+Senator Wade Hampton, would furnish some well-considered and
+statesmanlike views on that important topic. We expected to find a
+fair, if not an encouraging, statement of the changes that twenty
+years have wrought in the educational and property qualifications of
+the Negro. But we confess our utter disappointment, in finding that
+Senator Wade devotes his entire article to details of the Acts of the
+South Carolina Legislature, from 1868 to 1876, in other words, to the
+reconstruction or carpet-bag period. He adds, it is true, a quotation
+from an address of Abraham Lincoln, but that dates back into the still
+remoter past, 1859. Mr. Lincoln learned something better before he
+died.</p>
+
+<p>We make no defence of that carpet-bag Legislature, but does not
+Senator Wade recognize the change that has taken place in the
+condition of the Negro&mdash;a change that is going on at an increased
+ratio? Would an article be worth much on &quot;What <i>Anglo-Saxon</i> Supremacy
+Means,&quot; based on extracts from Roman histories in regard to the
+ancient Germans? True, the comparison is an extreme one, but it must
+be remembered that more progress is now made in human civilization in
+one year, than in a century then. But let us confine ourselves to the
+facts as they now stand. The present generation of Negroes in the
+South has had the aid of the public schools, limited and inadequate as
+they are, and it has had the still more valuable aid of schools
+sustained by Northern benevolence, supplemented in some cases
+<a name="page198" id="page198"></a><span class="newpage">[pg 198]</span>
+by aid from the Southern States, that have furnished instruction of the best
+quality in all ranges of study, from primary to college and
+professional. From Hampton, Va., to Austin, Texas, these schools,
+supported by various religious denominations, with carefully selected
+and thoroughly competent teachers from the North, have been sending
+forth their graduates as teachers, preachers, professional and
+business men. These schools of all grades number more than two
+hundred, and a large per cent. of their graduates become teachers who
+are giving a mighty uplift to their people. A colored editor could say
+truthfully two years ago, &quot;We have preachers learned and eloquent; we
+have professors in colleges by hundreds, and school-masters by
+thousands; successful farmers, merchants, ministers, lawyers, editors,
+educators and physicians.&quot; To all this it may be added that careful
+estimates place the amount of property on which the Negroes in the
+Southern States pay taxes, at one hundred millions of dollars. Surely
+this race could now furnish legislators more intelligent and more
+interested in the assessment of taxes than in 1868, and the number and
+quality will be rapidly increased every year. Senator Hampton might
+have looked around and ahead, and not backward only! His article, as
+it stands, stamps him as a veritable Bourbon; &quot;he has forgotten
+nothing and he has learned nothing.&quot;</p>
+
+<hr />
+
+<h3>MR. CABLE'S PAMPHLET.</h3>
+<center>
+<b>A COLORED MAN'S VIEW OF IT.</b>
+</center>
+<blockquote><p>Mr. Cable's Pamphlet, &quot;The Negro Question,&quot; was sent to an
+ educated Christian colored man in the South. We make some
+ brief extracts from his letter acknowledging the receipt of
+ the pamphlet. He says: </p></blockquote>
+
+<p>I have read &quot;<i>The Negro Question</i>,&quot; by Geo. W. Cable, and appreciate
+it highly. It is the ablest treatment of the subject intellectually,
+morally and judicially that I ever saw. Mr. Cable has dealt with that
+<i>great question</i> with the insight of a statesman and a thinker, and
+the candor of a true Christian. Oh, how I am vexed and do smart when I
+think of the wicked treatment I and my people are subjected to on
+account of the God-given color, and by a people claiming and
+professing to be Christians! I can hardly believe that any other
+people ever bore the names freemen and citizens, and at the same time
+were shut out from so many of their rights and liberties as we are.
+Our manhood is outraged, our civil and political rights are abused,
+our women are robbed of their womanhood and their chastity is
+insulted, our aspirations are banded and proscription is held up to
+our eyes wherever we go, and enforced against us with Egyptian
+exactness and Spartan severity, and the most vexatious and grievous
+fact of all is, that the strong arm of the law of the land loses its power
+when it comes our turn to receive justice. The law either plays truant, or
+openly acknowledges that it has no power to defend us. But the God of law and
+<a name="page199" id="page199"></a><span class="newpage">[pg 199]</span>
+justice, who broke down one form of slavery, will break down this, too.
+Still, there is a part for us to do. On this line, as on others, the man who needs
+help must help himself while he asks for help.</p>
+
+<hr />
+
+<h3>MRS. WARE.</h3>
+
+<blockquote><p>We honor the memory of the early and self-denying workers
+ among the Freedmen. They were ostracised at the South, and
+ were scarcely appreciated at the North. Many of them have laid
+ down their lives in the service, others were compelled to
+ return home on account of ill-health, but others still are
+ toiling on, seeing the fruits of their labors in the new
+ impulse given to the Negro in his great race struggle. Among
+ the earliest and most efficient of these workers was President
+ Ware, of Atlanta, now gone to his reward. Mrs. Ware is still
+ at the post of duty, and, though in feeble health, clings with
+ undiminished interest to her chosen life-work.</p>
+
+<p>At the recent anniversary of the Atlanta University, the
+ meeting of the Alumni, (May 28th), was made pleasant and
+ memorable by the presentation to Mrs. Ware of a large portrait
+ of herself. It was wholly unexpected to her, and her impromptu
+ acknowledgment of the gift was made in the vein of her
+ characteristic vivacity and kindness. Among the addresses made
+ at the presentation, was one by Mrs. Chase, herself one of our
+ earliest and most honored laborers. From this address we are
+ permitted to make a few extracts. </p></blockquote>
+
+<p>It is very significant that at any time during these twenty years of
+your life here, it would have been just as delightful to meet and say
+the pleasant words that leap to our lips, as it is to say them to-day.
+You, whom we delight to honor this afternoon, have held the same post
+of honor all these years, but many of us do not know how delightfully
+you hold that place, so I, who have known you so long, am asked to
+explain, and if this hasty sketch seems too flattering to be given in
+your presence, I fear you alone are responsible. If you had put less
+into your life for us to admire, we could put less into our expression
+of admiration.</p>
+
+<p>We know how you lost early a good mother, and that your father was
+taken when you were only eighteen; but the missionary spirit of that
+father was repeated in the daughter. We know of your being discouraged
+by a missionary Board because applying so young, but of your being
+finally accepted, and going to Hampton, reaching that now famous
+school even before the veteran&mdash;General Armstrong.</p>
+
+<p>Then came the year of teaching at Charleston, a year so full of
+privations in those pioneer days, that though repeated calls came to
+you from Florida and Georgia, as well as the old fields, you shrank
+from farther hardships and decided to remain at home, till one Sunday
+morning in Connecticut, twenty years ago, these words were unfolded in
+a sermon, &quot;Simon, Son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Yea, Lord, thou
+knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my Lambs.&quot; How easy
+it is for us now to see the beautiful Providence of those wonderful words
+finding a swift response in your heart and bringing you at once to Atlanta.
+There are those before me now that greeted you then in Storrs School. How
+<a name="page200" id="page200"></a><span class="newpage">[pg 200 ]</span>
+much we might say of that eventful year when you
+worked beyond your strength to fit the &quot;A&quot; class for Atlanta
+University. We can hardly see how it could have been otherwise than
+that the next year you should come to us, the bride of our beloved
+President. But position brought no exemption from hard work to either
+of you royal workers.</p>
+
+<p>We shall never forget what hosts of friends have been won for the
+school by your ready pen and stirring words. And during those sixteen
+memorable foundation years of our school, which are so rapidly passing
+into history, who can ever know how much of their grand success was
+due to you for your devotion to him who created Atlanta University,
+and made it what it is? We may know in that &quot;day when He makes up his
+jewels.&quot;</p>

+<h3>THREE COMMENCEMENTS.</h3>
+<center>
+<b>BY A VISITOR.</b>
+</center>
+<p>It has been my privilege to attend in succession the anniversary
+exercises at Hampton, Va., Atlanta, Ga., and Howard University,
+Washington, D.C. Hampton, as usual, welcomed a crowd of visitors, and
+among these a number of distinguished men&mdash;Governor Lee of Virginia,
+and Senator Dawes, being those most widely known. The visitor sees
+here the magical touch of genius in these large and commodious
+buildings, the schools, the shops, the houses, the cottages, and,
+crowning all, the stately chapel. The plat of the village in which
+these are congregated realizes the words,</p>
+
+<span style="margin-left: 2em;">&quot;A mighty maze and not without a plan.&quot;</span>
+
+<p>The effect of the whole, threaded by winding roads, shaded by trees,
+and interspersed with gardens and shrubs, is picturesque and
+practically convenient. The main value of Hampton, however, is found
+in what is done <i>within</i> these buildings&mdash;the teaching, the
+industries, the making of character.</p>
+
+<p>The graduating exercises were the great attraction. The addresses and
+papers of the pupils did not, perhaps, as a whole, quite come up to
+what we have heard in other years, but all were good and some of them
+of great excellence. One is always impressed at Hampton with the tone
+and local coloring of the addresses. They are tinged and touched by
+the work done here, and the races for and by whom it is done. The
+titles of some of the pieces show this: &quot;What is expected of a Hampton
+Graduate.&quot; &quot;Hampton Girls.&quot; &quot;Mission Work in Tennessee.&quot; &quot;Way down in
+Georgia.&quot; &quot;Progress of the Oneidas.&quot; Of the same sort was the closing
+tableau, &quot;The Great Father and his Children,&quot; a representation by
+Indian students, with the implements or products of the industries
+they have learned, applying to the Great Father for admission to his
+country. The exercises were closed by eloquent addresses, given by
+Rev. Dr. Parkhurst, of New York, one of the Trustees, Governor Lee, of
+Virginia, and Senator Dawes.</p>
+
+<a name="page201" id="page201"></a><span class="newpage">[pg 201]</span>
+<p>Atlanta University now welcomes its visitors to its beautiful green
+lawns and fields, which were once red clay washed into deep gullies.
+The buildings are convenient and well-kept. The Baccalaureate sermon,
+delivered by Professor Francis, was very appropriate and touching. The
+commencement exercises were held on Monday, May 28th, and were
+attended by a vast concourse of people, many going away because the
+building, though large, could not give them room. The aisles were
+crowded through all the services. The audiences were, as usual, made
+up mostly of colored people. Heretofore, at times, the dignitaries of
+the State and city have graced the platform, but Governor Gordon was
+out of town, and, perhaps, if he had been at home, he would not have
+attended. The recent excitement about the Glenn Bill, and the
+withdrawal of the $8,000, the annual grant of the State, have left the
+relations somewhat strained. There is, however, no excitement on that
+subject. The State authorities have not yet decided what to do with
+the fund, and in the meantime, the University goes quietly forward
+with its work. Prof. Bumstead has just succeeded in raising the
+$16,000 necessary to meet the current expenses of the year.</p>
+
+<p>At the anniversary exercises there were no graduates from the college
+department this year. Thirteen pupils, all girls, from the normal
+department, read their essays and received their certificates of
+graduation. The number of the class is supposed to be unfortunate, but
+there was nothing amiss in the quality of the essays they read. They
+were all good, but the absence of any male voice left the class
+somewhat in the condition of a choir without a baas. There was a
+noticeable difference in one respect between the essays on this
+occasion and those at Hampton. Here there was no local or race tone.
+If I had closed my eyes, I might have thought myself at the
+anniversary of a Ladies' Seminary at the North. Scarcely a word or
+allusion indicated that these girls belonged to the colored race, and
+for that matter their faces scarcely showed it, for the white blood
+largely preponderated in most of them. I can well understand why these
+pupils should prefer to stand forth not as a distinct race, but as
+American and Christian girls. Perhaps that is the higher wisdom, but
+it makes the anniversary less distinctive, and inspires less sympathy
+and enthusiasm. These girls were plainly dressed, and in that respect
+would differ greatly from the graduating class in a Northern Female
+Seminary, but they would have no occasion to shrink from a comparison
+with their Northern sisters, if propriety of deportment, and
+excellence and force of writing were considered.</p>
+
+<p>At the Howard University, we had the opportunity of attending only the
+exercises of the graduating class in college. This institution has a good
+claim to its title as a University, for it has collegiate, medical, theological,
+law and normal departments. The anniversaries of the theological and
+medical departments had been held a few days previously in
+<a name="page202" id="page202"></a><span class="newpage">[pg 202]</span>
+churches down in the city, and were attended, as we
+understand, by large audiences. The college anniversary, on the other
+hand, was held in the college chapel, which, while it was well filled,
+contained a relatively small audience, and this was made up mostly of
+colored people. We hardly appreciate this discrimination as to the
+places of holding these anniversaries, for the orations in the chapel
+were of a high order, and might well have attracted the attention of
+members of Congress and of the numerous visitors in the crowded city.
+The graduating class consisted of six persons, one being a lady and
+she the only one of the class without apparent admixture of white
+blood. The addresses were all orations, and resembled somewhat the
+essays in the Atlanta school in presenting almost no touch or tone of
+race or local surroundings, the lady's being almost the only
+exception. I could not avoid the conviction, that if these
+well-trained minds had thrown themselves into topics more nearly
+related to their own life and race struggle, there would have been
+more fervor in the oratory. But some of these graduates will yet be
+heard from as useful laborers in some fields of active Christian work.</p>

+<h2>THE SOUTH.</h2>
+
+<h3>NOTES IN THE SADDLE.</h3>
+<center>
+<b>BY REV. C.J. RYDER, DISTRICT SECRETARY.</b>
+</center>
+<p>I promised, in my February &quot;Notes in the Saddle,&quot; to give a brief
+account of the mountain campaign which had then just closed. It was
+full of most interesting experiences. We began the series of meetings
+in the Congregational Church, Jellico, Tenn. The Association was
+represented by one of its Corresponding Secretaries, a District
+Secretary, and the writer. Beside these brethren from abroad, the
+local force of A.M.A. workers was large, and several neighboring
+churches of our Congregational faith sent their pastors.</p>
+
+<p>At Jellico, the A.M.A. has planted both a church and a school, and
+built a meeting house. The interesting series of meetings, which began
+at Jellico, was for the purpose of dedicating the neat Congregational
+churches recently built by the Association along this line of
+railroad. Preaching services were held every afternoon and evening,
+the company of ministers taking turns, as they pushed on from one
+church to another. These churches are at Jellico, Pleasant View, South
+Williamsburg, Williamsburg, Woodbine, Rockhold and Corbin.
+Congregationalism, through the A.M.A., has taken possession of this
+whole region in the name of Christ. We can easily hold it in the
+interests of broad and evangelical Christianity, if our older
+Congregational churches in the East and North arouse themselves to
+meet the pressing exigencies, and realize the splendid
+<a name="page203" id="page203"></a><span class="newpage">[pg 203]</span>
+possibilities that lie before them in this field <i>to-day</i>, but which will be denied
+them in the near future.</p>
+
+<p>One very interesting feature of these meetings was the dedication of a
+chapel which has been recently added to the Williamsburg church, and
+which is used for the infant class of the Sunday-school. This class
+had outgrown all the accommodations of the church, in connection with
+the other departments of the Sunday-school. It had become a
+Sunday-school of itself. This chapel was, therefore, built and
+publicly set aside for the service of these little folks.</p>
+
+<p>During these meetings, our honored Corresponding Secretary and
+District Secretary pushed through the storms and forded mountain
+streams together with the other brethren, that they might keep the
+appointments which had been made for them. Dr. Roy's stereopticon
+views, which have interested and instructed so many audiences in the
+North, he used with great profit during this mountain campaign.</p>
+
+<hr class="short" />
+
+<p>Two men called upon Brother Myers, our general missionary in this
+mountain region, and requested that he and the writer visit the field,
+some fourteen miles away, from which they had come that morning. They
+told a thrillingly interesting story of how God's Spirit had entered
+their hearts, and stirred them up to desire better things for their
+children and their community than they had enjoyed. One of them was a
+son of a French Catholic mother, and had early adopted her faith. His
+life had been wild and reckless, until he found the Saviour in a
+meeting led by an A.M.A. missionary. He was an intelligent man of some
+education. He found others ready to join him in a movement for the
+elevation of the people. They established a church and organized a
+Sunday-school. We pushed over the mountain on horseback, after the
+other visiting brethren had left the mountain region, to inspect
+personally this field. We found it even as the men had represented it
+to be. A little church had been organized and Sunday-school gathered.
+I could learn of no other Sunday-school in that region. I heard
+afterwards, that one of the old-time preachers warned the people
+against the Sunday-school, saying, &quot;It war a heap worse than a dancing
+place.&quot; This same preacher had a vision, and gave an account of it to
+his people. &quot;Two devils,&quot; he said, &quot;had been in that country getting
+up some sort of an institution that they called a church.&quot; He warned
+his people against them.</p>
+
+<p>The two men who visited us at Jellico, together with others who had
+joined with them in this effort to Christianize and educate this
+community, we found busy on a hillside, laying the foundations of the
+new &quot;church house.&quot; They were enthusiastic in this new movement, which
+promised so much to their community. They had drawn up a confession of
+faith and covenant, which were evangelical and Congregational. They reported
+<a name="page204" id="page204"></a><span class="newpage">[pg 204 ]</span>
+three thousand people living in the coves and valleys
+radiating from the point upon which they had planted their &quot;church
+house,&quot; absolutely without intelligent Christian instruction of any
+kind. There were hundreds of square miles without a church building of
+any denomination. This little company had been stirred up by God's
+Spirit, and were almost starving for spiritual food. There was a
+pathos even in their peculiar mountain vernacular, as one of them said
+to me, &quot;I don't understand scarcely a word you uns say. I'm too old to
+larn now. I'se done left. But I does want my chilluns to know
+somethin'. I tell you, I'd sell my old farm down in the cove so's to
+help my chilluns to know somethin'.&quot; What a tremendous appeal this is
+from the very heart of our country! All they asked was one hundred
+dollars, to help them build this Congregational &quot;church house&quot; by the
+side of Hickory Creek.</p>
+
+<hr class="short" />
+
+<p>While writing these &quot;Notes,&quot; there comes flashing over the wires, the
+news of this horrible crime committed upon the person of Prof. G.W.
+Lawrence, at Jellico. I remember a conversation I had with Mr.
+Lawrence during this campaign of which I have been writing. He had
+just been offered an important and lucrative position as teacher in
+the North. He was a young man of only limited means, and felt almost
+that he <i>must</i> go. I told him we could not offer him <i>financial</i>
+inducements to remain, but it seemed to me that the Lord had called
+him to that work, and I did not know where we could find a man to fill
+his place. &quot;Very well,&quot; he replied, &quot;I will remain.&quot; The Christian
+hero that he was, he went patiently forward in this self-sacrificing
+labor. Now, he has fallen by the hand of a brutal assassin! This awful
+crime emphasizes the importance of this work, and calls aloud to us to
+send <i>more</i> Christian missionaries into this field, until Christian
+light shall displace the darkness of semi-barbarism.</p>
+
+<hr class="short" />
+
+<p>Turning a moment from the field in which our missions are planted, to
+that from which they are supported, I give three interesting
+incidents. In a New England church two young girls came forward after
+hearing the story of the A.M.A. work in the dark places of our
+country, and pledged fourteen dollars, which they had themselves
+gathered by the sale of articles which they had made. A good example.</p>
+
+<p>Another little girl, not ten years old, had one dollar which she had
+been saving for sometime. It was her total bank credit. When she heard
+of our pressing needs, she slipped her dollar into my hand, asking
+that it be spent for the poor children in our field.</p>
+
+<p>A woman, for years an A.M.A. teacher, but now a bed-ridden invalid,
+pledges $100 to the work of the Association. What can we not do when
+there is so much of Christian self-sacrifice in both departments of
+our field?</p>

+<h3>ANNIVERSARY EXERCISES AT GREGORY INSTITUTE.</h3>
+<center>
+<b>WILMINGTON, N.C.</b>
+</center>
+<p>Our anniversary really began May 18, for on the evening of that date
+were held the public exercises of the &quot;Gregory Band of Hope.&quot; There
+are at least 160 members of this Band and they hold fortnightly
+meetings.</p>
+
+<p>One of the principal lessons which has to be impressed upon these
+children, is the sacredness of the pledge. We feel sure that much has
+been gained in this direction the past year. There were those who
+would come forward and manfully confess when they had violated any
+condition of the pledge. But the good done to the children is not the
+only benefit. Through these children, the parents become interested in
+temperance. One little boy said, &quot;Since I joined the Band of Hope I
+got my papa and mamma to join the pledge too.&quot; Many families were
+represented by either father or mother, and in many cases by both.
+This topic is destined very soon to be of paramount importance in the
+training of the colored people.</p>
+
+<p>The week beginning May 21 was given up to examinations. The pupils
+have in the main done well. Many of them in advancement and aptness
+will compare well with white children. By reason of a re-arrangement
+in the course of study, there was no graduating class this year.
+However, on the evening of May 25, we had an exhibition given by the
+scholars. The stage at the back was prettily draped with the national
+colors, and flowers were scattered in profusion everywhere. At the
+appointed hour the room was filled with the parents of the pupils and
+other friends of the schools. The programme was a miscellaneous one,
+made up of tableaux, songs, dialogues and recitations. Some of these
+reflected great credit upon the pupils and their teachers. I say
+<i>some</i> of them, because some parts were rendered so excellently as to
+astonish one who did not expect anything <i>very</i> good from negro
+scholars. One beautiful scene was, &quot;Winding the May Pole,&quot; by twelve
+little girls dressed in white. Another striking piece was, &quot;What
+Alcohol has done for the Nations.&quot; Different persons in appropriate
+costume represented the various nations of Europe and one represented
+Africa, each in a short speech stating what havoc alcohol had made.
+One young lad caused a good deal of merriment in declaiming &quot;Theology
+at the Quarters,&quot; in which he drew a picture of the candidate for
+heaven being subjected to a close examination before he could be
+admitted through the &quot;<i>Alaplaster</i> gate.&quot; &quot;The questions,&quot; said the
+declaimer, &quot;you must answer mighty straight. And de <i>watermillion</i>
+question gwine to cause a heap o' trouble.&quot; When one of these colored
+people declaims in the Negro dialect, it is a treat. There is nothing
+artificial about it.</p>
+
+<p>The year has been a prosperous one. The school-rooms have been crowded
+to their utmost capacity. 312 different pupils have attended during
+some part of the year, and average daily attendance has been 230.
+<a name="page206" id="page206"></a><span class="newpage">[pg 206]</span>
+Excellent progress has been made. Another teacher is needed. More and
+more are the colored people awakening to their real need&mdash;deliverance
+from the bonds of ignorance. You older people in the North gave your
+sons to free the slave from human task-masters. We who have arisen
+since the war look upon that as the noblest sacrifice which the
+history of our country presents. But there still remains the great
+problem of freeing the black man from the slavery of ignorance,
+superstition and sin. The work increases upon our hands. The South is
+struggling to rise. It has this problem of illiteracy to settle. We
+who have grown since the war could not carry a musket in '62, but we
+are willing to carry the Speller and the Bible now, and we do not
+consider this work one whit less honorable or necessary than the art
+of war. Do you?</p>
+
+<p>Wilmington is a city with a population of 25,000. It is estimated that
+14,000 of this is colored. Business is increasing fast and population
+is gaining proportionately. How what is the import of all this? Large
+numbers of colored people will be attracted here. It will be an
+objective point for educational work among them. If we already have
+300 pupils, the opportunity will then be enlarged many fold. But even
+now we need more help. Cannot the friends at home enter upon a course
+of self-denial to extend us a little aid?</p>

+<h3>A DAY AT TOUGALOO.</h3>
+<center>
+<b><i>Special Correspondence of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.</i></b>
+</center>
+<p>Jackson, Miss., May 26.&mdash;While the white Mississippians were laying
+the corner stone of a Confederate monument at Jackson, the black
+Mississippians were holding the closing exercises of their university
+at Tougaloo, only seven miles away.</p>
+
+<h4>TOUGALOO TO-DAY.</h4>
+
+<p>For a wonder the war spared Tougaloo. Less pretentious houses within
+sight of it were fired and destroyed by roving squads. But the
+mansion, in the midst of a grand grove of oaks, stood intact. When the
+war was over, the American Missionary Association acquired 500 acres
+of the estate, including the mansion.</p>
+
+<p>At the beginning the building afforded accommodations for both
+teachers and students. But at present the mansion is used for the
+offices of the institution and for class rooms. Tougaloo has developed
+into one of the largest institutions for colored youth in the South.
+The mansion, which was the nucleus, is now only one of half a dozen
+large structures. To the north of it is Strieby Hall, a long three-story brick
+structure. The clay was dug, the brick made, and the walls laid, chiefly by
+student labor. To the south is another three-story dormitory. Another notable
+<a name="page207" id="page207"></a><span class="newpage">[pg 207 ]</span>
+structure in the group is the Ballard School Building, every nail in which was
+driven by the students. About these larger buildings are grouped the Ballard
+Industrial shops and cottages.</p>
+
+<p>Three hundred and twenty-six students were enrolled at Tougaloo the
+past year. The steady growth in the attendance more than keeps pace
+with the increase in accommodations. They come from all parts of
+Mississippi, Yazoo County of terrible memories furnishing a
+representation notable for its numbers. Arkansas, Louisiana and
+Tennessee are represented.</p>
+
+<h4>A MISSISSIPPI MYSTERY.</h4>
+
+<p>Nowhere in the South is the negro so totally a nonentity in politics
+as in Mississippi, and yet nowhere in the South is there a colored
+institution so heartily commended as is Tougaloo University by the
+white Mississippians. This seems odd, hardly credible. Tougaloo is not
+a State institution. Mississippi has a system of instruction including
+a normal school and other departments for colored youth. And yet every
+Legislature makes an appropriation for Tougaloo. The institution's
+management reports the use made of the money, and the Governor
+appoints a Board of Visitors. This is the extent of State supervision,
+and still Mississippi continues to make biennially an appropriation
+for the university. The last Legislature cut down the amount somewhat,
+but it cut some of the white institutions worse than it did Tougaloo.</p>
+
+<p>Perhaps a stronger evidence of the esteem in which this university is
+held by white Mississippi is the social consideration bestowed upon
+those connected with the institution. The prejudice which ostracises
+&quot;a nigger teacher&quot; and which is so pronounced in most communities
+where there is a colored institution, is rarely observable here. On
+the Board of Visitors are men of the highest standing, like Col. J.L.
+Power, for almost a lifetime the head of the <i>Clarion</i>; Oliver
+Clifton, the Clerk of the Supreme Court, and F.A. Wolfe, the former
+Superintendent of Education. Mr. W.S. Lemly, one of the leading
+business men of Jackson, is a member of the Board of Trustees. To
+visit Tougaloo is not to lose caste in Jackson society, but is
+altogether a proper thing to do.</p>
+
+<p>Of course there is an explanation for this. White Mississippians are
+much like white Georgians or white Carolinians in their views on the
+race problem and on negro education. Tougaloo's peculiar relation to
+the white people must be accounted for by the features in which it
+differs from other colored institutions maintained by Northern
+societies.</p>
+
+<h4>THE SECRET OF IT.</h4>
+
+<p>The Rev. Frank G. Woodworth, President of the university, was asked
+how he accounted for the exceptional esteem in which Tougaloo is held.
+His reply was: &quot;I think the attention which we give to industrial
+education has a great deal to do with it. That, and the preparation of teachers,
+<a name="page208" id="page208"></a><span class="newpage">[pg 208]</span>
+are two things which we make most prominent in our work.
+The white people can see the good effects of the training we give so
+plainly that they feel the work we are doing is good.&quot;</p>
+
+<p>This view of President Woodworth was abundantly confirmed by
+subsequent inquiries among white Mississippians. It is the industrial
+education the negroes are receiving there which so thoroughly commends
+the university to the dominant race. The shops are considered fully as
+important as the class rooms at Tougaloo. Carpentry, painting,
+tinning, blacksmithing and wagon-making are taught, not only the
+rudiments, but to the extent of turning out finished workmen. The
+shops were built by the students and are admirably equipped with
+tools. Wagons from the Tougaloo apprentices sell for $60 in Jackson,
+and are preferred to the product of first-class wagon-makers.</p>
+
+<p>The desk at which I sit, and which will compare with skilled work
+anywhere, was made by one of our students. In the blacksmithing and
+wagon-making they learn to take iron and wood in the rough and turn
+out a good, substantial wagon. The value to the colored youth of such
+training can hardly be over-estimated. They are trained to do skilled
+work, to be self-reliant and self-supporting.</p>
+
+<h4>THE FARM SCHOOL.</h4>
+
+<p>But teaching the trades is but part of the system of industrial
+education at Tougaloo. Each boy is required to work at least one hour
+a day on the university farm. For all work over that hour the student
+receives pay, the highest allowance being 7c. an hour. The farm is not
+run to make money, but to educate. The idea is to make the operation
+of the farm an object lesson to the students in the better methods of
+agriculture and stock raising. Several students, enough to take care
+of the steady and continuous farm work, are employed all day on the
+farm and attend the night school, but the bulk of the farm labor comes
+from the students, who give from one to several hours to it outside of
+school. Last year the farm was run with but one man outside of the
+student help. The boys, while getting their book learning, tilled
+eighty-five acres of corn, fifteen acres of oats, with a second crop
+of peas, seventeen acres of cotton, eight acres of peas, three acres
+of sorghum, two acres of garden and five acres of berries and orchard.
+The stock cared for included 100 head of blooded cattle, forty sheep
+and forty swine. The farm furnished the boarding department 14,000
+pounds of beef and pork, 84,476 pounds of milk, and other products in
+proportion. The university farm stock has a reputation State-wide, and
+the exhibits are features of the annual fairs held at Jackson. While
+every boy in the institution has to do some daily work on the farm,
+there is set apart for the ninth grade a special course of a year in
+agricultural instruction designed to make good, practical farmers of
+those who take it. So much for the boys.</p>
+
+<a name="page209" id="page209"></a><span class="newpage">[pg 209]</span>
+<p>The girls get their full share of industrial training at Tougaloo.
+They have daily instruction in some branch of household duty, ranging
+from dish-washing to canning and preserving. Sewing is taught from the
+plain darning and mending to fitting and dressmaking according to the
+latest fashion plates. It has come to be well understood that the
+Mississippi lady of a house who gets one of the trained students from
+Tougaloo has &quot;a perfect treasure.&quot;</p>
+
+<h4>THE STUDY OF HOUSEKEEPING.</h4>
+
+<p>One of the latest additions to the system of industrial training for
+girls at the university is a novelty. A cottage has been set
+apart&mdash;four girls are assigned to it for a month at a time. There they
+&quot;keep house&quot; in all details. They not only sweep and clean and cook,
+but they buy their supplies, keep account of all household expenses,
+and manage as they will have to do when they get homes of their own. A
+matron looks closely after the cottage feature, which is intended to
+teach neatness and economy and to develop executive ability.</p>
+
+<p>With Tougaloo doing such a work as this, how could the white
+Mississippians feel otherwise than kindly toward her. The cry has been
+that &quot;education ruins the nigger.&quot; It has been asserted over and
+over&mdash;so many times that most Southerners believe it as true as
+gospel&mdash;that higher education makes a negro too proud to work. But
+here is an education the very central idea of which is work&mdash;work with
+the hands and the eyes. Here is a university which gives to the State
+skilled mechanics vastly superior to those who &quot;pick up&quot; their trades;
+farmers who can make two bolls of cotton grow where one grew before;
+stockraisers who know all the fine points of the various breeds.
+Governor Lowry could well say in his last message to the Mississippi
+Legislature:</p>
+
+<p>&quot;This university, by its successful management, commends itself to
+your favorable consideration.&quot;</p>
+
+<p>At the closing exercises of the year yesterday, Tougaloo took another
+step forward. Instead of turning out a class of graduates, the
+management increased the course and raised the standard. An
+institution which does that is certainly progressive.</p>
+
+<p>Two of the notable things on the programme were an essay by Lucy
+Jenkins, on &quot;What Tougaloo Does for the Girls,&quot; and an oration by
+James Miller on &quot;Industrial Education.&quot; Both of them were well
+considered, well written and well delivered. The essayist and the
+orator were black, not yellow. Their efforts would have done credit to
+Anglo-Saxons of corresponding age, North or South. As for the musical
+part of the programme&mdash;ah, there was melody indeed.</p>
+
+<p>A negro boy named Scott, with all the features of the African strongly
+marked, executed a difficult solo with an artistic appreciation which
+would have brought enthusiastic plaudits from an audience of critics.</p>

+<h4>A TRUE FRIEND OF THE RACE.</h4>
+
+<p>And then the Rev. Dr. William Hayne Leavell, of Meridian, arose to
+deliver the annual address. What a contrast! Dr. Leavell is a South
+Carolinian by birth and a relative of the great Nullifier Hayne. He
+comes of one of the proud old Southern families and has the highest
+social connections. He stands six feet high, a magnificent specimen of
+physical manhood, and as chock full of moral courage as he is of blue
+blood. This man left his home, declined an invitation to participate
+in the Confederate corner-stone ceremonies, and devoted his birthday
+anniversary to Tougaloo. Dr. Leavell is a son-in-law of United States
+Senator George, of Mississippi. He is the man who delivered an address
+before the Mississippi Legislature last winter, and denounced as
+cowards, men who go about with pistols in their hip pockets. And when
+the blank looks of amazement went round he rubbed his sentiments in on
+the Mississippians and their folly, of making themselves walking
+shooting galleries. Coming before the students of Tougaloo yesterday,
+Dr. Leavell said:</p>
+
+<p>&quot;My interest in you, in this whole work, grows out of a memory. Your
+fathers were the servants of my fathers. I remember that in 1861, when
+I was a very small boy, the sound of war went through this land. My
+father, kinsmen and friends went forth to battle to keep your fathers
+in servitude. I remember that not a few of your fathers knew what that
+war meant&mdash;that if my fathers succeeded, your fathers would be kept in
+servitude forever and my fathers would remain the master class. All
+the men that could protect the women and children were away. The
+fathers and brothers and friends were away fighting. We were in the
+power of your fathers and of some of you gray-headed people that I
+see. I remember that when they returned from that war your fathers
+gave back to mine the women and children without a hair of their heads
+having been harmed. I have remembered this with deep gratitude; and
+ever since that time I have felt a deep interest in you. It is
+therefore, that I have come in response to the call to be here
+to-day.&quot;</p>
+
+<h4>THE ONLY LOGICAL RESULT.</h4>
+
+<p>He proceeded at considerable length with such earnest advice as he
+might have given to the assembled students of a white university on
+commencement day. After a time he touched upon the special condition
+which his audience presented.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;I know,&quot; said he, &quot;of no people who have ever lived with a more
+difficult problem before them. You have before you the duty of saving
+yourselves. Mark what I tell you, no man of another race ever saved a
+people. Some man of you, or of your race, has got to go with the
+pillar of fire by night and the cloud by day, and, like Moses, lead
+you.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;God knows many a man of my race has given his life and service for
+<a name="page211" id="page211"></a><span class="newpage">[pg 211]</span>
+yours. And not only these men who fought at the end of a gun to make
+you free have given their lives for you, but some of us from the
+South, who stood with breasts bared to the bayonets of those who were
+marching forward to the support of a great principle. We are anxious
+now to do all we can for your advancement. But we of the white race
+may do our best. After all we have done for you, it is as when a man
+goes with a friend to the brink of the grave; he can go no further.
+There is a limit beyond which we cannot go for you, no matter how
+great our interest in you. Some man with a skin darker than mine must
+take up the work and carry it on.&quot;</p>
+
+<p>He said not a word about politics, but later in the day the question
+was put to him privately:</p>
+
+<p>&quot;Doctor, suppose these negroes to whom you talked awhile ago become
+what you urged them to be&mdash;useful, reliant, well-to-do citizens&mdash;what
+will be their status politically? Will the white people, with all this
+progress of the negro in education, in industry, in independence and
+in the acquisition of property, acknowledge his political rights?&quot;</p>
+
+<p>&quot;They'll have to, sir,&quot; was the prompt and emphatic reply. &quot;This
+present condition of affairs can't go on. We know that. As the negro
+becomes qualified we've got to admit him to full citizenship.&quot;</p>
+
+<p>W.B.S.</p>

+
+<h3>WHICH WILL BE THE UNDER DOG IN THE FIGHT?</h3>
+
+<p>As a member of a Boston Raymond Excursion in January last, I spent
+three or four days in New Orleans. The President and a Trustee of
+Straight University visited our <i>side-tracked train</i>, and invited us
+to call at the University. Quite a number accepted the invitation, and
+in addition to being shown through the buildings, we were entertained
+by the students, under the supervision of the President and
+Professors, with hymns, songs and plantation music, with explanation
+by the President of the course of studies and progress of the
+students. At the close of the reception, it fell to my lot to
+acknowledge the civility shown us, which I did in the following words:</p>
+
+<p>In behalf of visitors from the Raymond Excursion, it gives me great
+pleasure to express to the officers and students of Straight
+University our thanks for the interesting reception we have received
+at their hands. We have come from a long way off, for sight-seeing,
+and the study of the country, but here we find something more than the
+wild mountains, and desolate plains, and border towns, that are to
+make up so much of the interest of our journey. Through institutions
+like this, a problem suggested to me in one of your streets will find
+solution. I visited the Republican State Convention in session, to see
+ex-Governor Kellogg, whom I had known in his boyhood among the Green
+Mountains, and who was one of
+<a name="page212" id="page212"></a><span class="newpage">[pg 212]</span>
+the officers of the convention. While
+there I listened to several speeches from colored men, which, for
+clearness of thought and pathos of oratory, would have done credit to
+any public speaker in the country. I have since learned, with great
+pleasure, that several of these gentlemen were graduates of this
+University. On leaving the convention, when scarcely a block away, I
+met a well-dressed gentleman, and naturally fell into conversation
+about the convention. The gentleman claimed to have inherited the
+blood of Boston, but had lived twenty years in New Orleans. With
+respect to the convention, he said: &quot;I tell you, sir, the white people
+here will never consent to be governed by a lot of ignorant Negroes,
+like those in that convention!&quot; I have thought on this statement, and
+coming here, I find its solution. Knowledge is power, whether its
+possessor be white or black, and unless the white people of the South
+make the education of their children more of a paramount interest than
+heretofore, they will find the learning and muscle, the precedents of
+wealth, combined in the colored race. The rural population will find
+that they need for themselves and their children a better knowledge
+than can be acquired from the court-house, saloon, or the village
+tavern.</p>
+
+<p>It is an interesting thought, that these students will go from this
+institution back to their low-down homes on the borders of rice fields
+and cotton plantations, where their fathers and mothers have toiled in
+slavery, and by an inspiration that is divine, will dissipate the dark
+memories of the past, and will show, by precept and example, that
+sanctification of spirit and purity of life will shape the destiny of
+their race for coming time. Again we thank you for this interview.</p>

+<h3>VALUED APPRECIATION.</h3>
+
+<blockquote><p>B.M. Zettler, Esq., who for many years has been in charge of
+ the public schools of Macon, Ga., and who has, therefore,
+ eminent qualifications for pronouncing judgment in regard to
+ schools and school work, has written the following in
+ reference to the Lewis Normal Institute of Macon. We are
+ always glad to welcome the inspection of our schools by our
+ Southern friends, and are specially gratified with their
+ approval of our work. </p></blockquote>
+
+<p>Having had this year for the first time since Lewis School was placed
+under your charge, an opportunity to see the institution &quot;from the
+inside,&quot; I desire to place in your hands a brief statement of my
+impressions concerning the school and its work. And while I do this
+(without solicitation) for the encouragement of yourself and
+associates, I have no objection to the use of the statement in any way
+that you may see fit. I confess I was not prepared to see so many
+practical, common-sense features in the school. I refer especially to
+the well conducted industrial departments, and the prominence given to
+moral training.</p>
+
+<a name="page213" id="page213"></a><span class="newpage">[pg 213]</span>
+<p>The teachers impressed me as being not only qualified, zealous and
+skillful, but as possessing a genuine interest in their work that is
+as inspiring as it is beautiful and becoming. The results of their
+labors as I witnessed them in the closing exercises were such as
+always follow where skill, good judgment and zeal are brought to bear.</p>
+
+<p>I am satisfied that you, and the noble ladies associated with you, are
+doing a good work among our colored people, and that, too, in a way
+that leaves no room with fair-minded men for adverse criticism in any
+direction. In leaving our city for the summer vacation, you take with
+you my earnest wish that you may have a season of genuine rest and
+recuperation and that a kind Providence may return you to us in the
+fall, to continue your &quot;labor of love&quot; in Macon.</p>

+<h2>THE CHINESE.</h2>
+
+<blockquote><p>Our missions in San Francisco observed their thirteenth
+ (public) anniversary on Sunday evening, May 30th, at Bethany
+ Church. The audience&mdash;partly American, partly Chinese&mdash;crowded
+ not the pews only, but most of the aisles. The service was
+ impressive and deeply interesting. Lack of space forbids my
+ attempting to describe it in detail, but I forward for the
+ readers of the MISSIONARY the following address, delivered by
+ Fung Jung, who has recently entered upon work as a missionary
+ helper.</p>
+
+<p>WM. C. POND. </p></blockquote>
+
+<h3>SCHOOL LIFE IN CHINA.</h3>
+
+<p>I suppose you would like to hear about the school life of the children
+in China. The girls are never sent to school, as the Chinese do not
+think it is necessary for girls to be educated. Nearly every boy is
+sent to school at about the same age as your American boys, six or
+seven. From this time the boy's playing days are over. If the teacher
+sees or hears that any one has been playing after the school hour, he
+would be severely punished. What would your American boys think of
+such treatment?</p>
+
+<p>School begins at the first dawning of light, and closes when we can
+see to read no more. No intermission is allowed, excepting for the
+pupils to go home to get their meals. The first thing in the morning
+we begin to study the book of Confucius, all the pupils studying
+aloud. We shall have to recite to the teacher very soon. When we go up
+to recite, we must hand the book to the teacher and turn our faces
+from him. This gives no chance to see which word comes next. This is
+called backing the book. The consequences will be very sad should we
+fail in reciting our lessons. A new lesson is then assigned if we
+recite well. School dismisses for the pupils to go home for breakfast
+at 9 o'clock. The writing lesson begins as soon as we come back. We
+study again, and write again,
+<a name="page214" id="page214"></a><span class="newpage">[pg 214]</span>
+and our copy books are examined by the
+teacher. The nest time we recite, the teacher picks out ten of the
+hardest characters from our lesson to see if we recognize them. We
+shall have much trouble this time if we miss. The teacher will inflict
+some curious punishment upon us and will say, &quot;You know this very
+well, I suppose, but the trouble is, you are too old to study your
+lesson, and I am afraid you cannot see; I will give you a pair of
+spectacles for a present. Perhaps that may help you to see.&quot; Then he
+takes some red ink and draws a large circle around both eyes, and then
+we may go home for lunch. No one is allowed to clean it till coming
+back to school. Hardly any one with such marks wishes to go home for
+lunch; every one who saw you would know you had been in disgrace.</p>
+
+<p>We come back for our afternoon's work. The first part we spend in
+writing, and the remainder of the day preparing our lesson for the
+next morning. For the slightest offense the children are whipped
+severely. The teachers are so strict, that it is no wonder the
+children run away from school; some go fishing, or else to the woods
+hunting birds' nests. If the boys see anybody not belonging to their
+company they will climb up a tree as high as the branch can hide them
+from view. All you boys will know the reason we are afraid any one
+should see us. I remember running away from school once, but
+unfortunately my father sent my sister to the school for me to go home
+on business. As she could not find me, my father knew I had not been
+to school that day. I went home for lunch about the time school
+dismissed. When I got home, the first question my father asked was,
+&quot;School dismissed?&quot; I answered, &quot;Yes sir.&quot; He then said, &quot;How did you
+get along with your lesson?&quot; I answered, &quot;First class.&quot; &quot;And who was
+the first one in the class to-day?&quot; I answered, &quot;I am, sir.&quot; Then I
+noticed his voice seemed to have an angry tone, and he said, &quot;Are you
+sure you have been to school?&quot; I answered, &quot;Of course I did, do you
+think I am a liar?&quot; I got terribly whipped this time, and when I went
+to school in the afternoon, I also got a whipping from the teacher. I
+did not have any more chance for running away from school this year,
+for I was too closely watched. The children of China, you see, have no
+pleasant time as you American boys and girls.</p>
+
+<p>The high schools are quite different from the primary. The students
+have to lodge and board in the school-house. We get up in the morning
+before daybreak to study; the teacher and all the students go to the
+explanation hall for our lesson. The teacher explains the meaning of
+the lesson, and in the afternoon we are expected to recite and give
+the explanation as given by the teacher. This is the hardest work of
+the whole day. Our evening lesson is studying essays and poems by
+Chinese Princes. About eleven o'clock school closes, and in a very few
+minutes I am sure you will find no one awake. In winter time we manage
+to get about six hours for sleep, but in summer only about four. We generally
+<a name="page215" id="page215"></a><span class="newpage">[pg 215]</span>
+sleep a little while at the noon recess. It would not be
+surprising if when the teacher could not see us, we try to take a
+little nap in our seat. Each boy has a table to himself. None of the
+scholars sit erect as your American custom. Every boy leans his head
+upon his hands, so that he can manage to take a little sleep when the
+teacher is not looking.</p>
+
+<p>We are allowed two meals a day only, and students cannot tell the cook
+to prepare any private lunch. We can have as much tea as we wish. The
+only way we can get anything extra is to try and get the cook to buy
+it secretly, then it is very hard to get a chance to eat it without
+the teacher seeing. I remember once my teacher made a visit to his
+friends; usually he came back in about half an hour. When he was gone,
+I thought I could make a little lunch, and eat it before he came back.
+He came sooner than I expected. When I saw him coming back, I ran to
+my seat as fast as I could and left the lunch in the kitchen. When the
+teacher found out he told the cook to dish it up and he ate it. When
+he finished, he came to us with a smile on his face and said, &quot;Whose
+cooking is this? If he tell me I will give him back the money.&quot; When I
+heard that, I thought it was true, and I never thought the teacher of
+the high school would tell stories and deceive me. So I said, &quot;It is
+mine.&quot; After I said that, he walked slowly back to his seat. I thought
+he was going to give me back the money. I did wonder he did not ask me
+how much it cost. So I watched him and saw him take up the bundle of
+rattans. I guessed what was coming, and I guess I need not tell you
+the result. The children of Christian lands have much to be thankful
+for. I earnestly hope that soon the children of China will enjoy <i>all</i>
+the privileges which the Gospel brings.</p>

+<h3>WOMAN'S TEMPERANCE WORK IN THE SOUTH.</h3>
+
+<p>We regret that the color-line is rigidly drawn in some parts of the
+South, at least, in the woman's work for temperance. Too much praise
+cannot be given to the white women in the South for their zeal in this
+good cause. The day will probably come when they will extend the hand
+of fellowship to their equally earnest sisters of the less favored
+race, but at present they do not recognize them as fellow-workers in
+the same societies. Some of the extracts given below tell this
+unpleasant story. All of them, however, show that the colored women,
+undeterred by this ostracism, are throwing themselves with zeal and
+success into this good work.</p>
+
+<h4>STORRS SCHOOL, ATLANTA, GA.</h4>
+
+<p>We have a W.C.T.U., also a Band of Hope. Our Union has increased very
+much in interest, as well as in numbers, during the year. The Band of
+Hope meets every Wednesday. It has a membership of <i>one hundred and
+twenty-five</i>, and an average attendance of seventy-five or eighty.
+Occasionally one or two ladies from the white W.C.T.U. will visit
+ours, but our Union is not recognized by the State Union. At one time
+a lady, acting then as President of our Union, went to the white
+Union, but she was so light that no one could know to what race she
+belonged, unless they knew her personally. There were no questions
+asked, and I don't suppose any one thought of her being <i>colored</i>. Our
+colored members would <i>not</i> be admitted. Our teachers <i>would</i> be,
+<i>going by themselves</i>.</p>
+
+<h4>TALLADEGA, ALA.</h4>
+
+<p>We have a W.C.T.U., also a Loyal Temperance Legion. Our Union is
+auxiliary to the Second W.C.T.U. of the State, and we are not
+recognized by the First, or distinctively white organization. Colored
+members would not be admitted. Indeed I understand that the First
+Union has withdrawn from the National, because colored delegates were
+received on the same basis as white.</p>
+
+<h4>LOUISVILLE, KY.</h4>
+
+<p>I endeavored when I first came to L&mdash;&mdash;, to arouse an interest in
+temperance work among the people. I visited members of the white
+W.C.T.U. They assured me of their interest, and a Y.W.C.T.U. No. 2 was
+organized among the colored women. They were not anxious to be
+associated with the whites, but when the whites insisted that the name
+given them should be changed to <i>Colored</i> Y.W.C.T.U., the colored
+women refused, and the Union disbanded, since which time it has been
+impossible to arouse among them an interest in organized temperance
+work, much as it is needed. Colored women would not be admitted as
+members of a white Union.</p>
+
+<a name="page217" id="page217"></a><span class="newpage">[pg 217]</span>
+<h4>WILMINGTON, N.C.</h4>
+
+<p>We have a Temperance Society of about eighty members, and a Band of
+Hope of one hundred and sixty members, no W.C.T.U., and if there were,
+it could not have any co-operation with the white societies. Colored
+members would not be admitted to white societies.</p>
+
+<h4>LETTER FROM A TEACHER IN ATLANTA.</h4>
+
+<p>When, last November, Atlanta voted to bring the deadly saloon back to
+our quiet streets, she brought also startling revelations of woman's
+power. We are accustomed to the refrain of &quot;woman's sceptre,&quot; &amp;c.,
+with all its dulcet variations, but the wild threats of deluded wives
+if their sons or husbands voted for prohibition was a hitherto unheard
+of &quot;wail from the inferno.&quot; Many an earnest Atlanta woman dates her
+re-consecration to the temperance cause from that awful Saturday night
+when her frenzied sisters in the public streets joined in the
+Bacchanalian revelries over the return of their cruel foe. Woman's
+Christian Temperance Unions at once sprang up in various parts of the
+city. So much has been done by colored women here, I feel that other
+A.M.A. centres may be encouraged by an account of it.</p>
+
+<p>The Woman's Christian Temperance Union of East Atlanta, formed in
+1885, is an inspiring gathering to visit, with a membership over
+fifty, and the programme of weekly meetings full and interesting.
+There are three female physicians in the city who cheerfully address
+the Union when desired. The pastor of the First Congregational Church,
+once a month, gives up the mid-week prayer meeting entirely into the
+hands of this Union. Last week at the close of one of these meetings,
+a young man told his sister it was the best prayer meeting he ever
+attended in his life. The Temperance Catechism has been thoroughly
+taught and illustrated. Committees of women are appointed to visit
+homes and solicit members or attendance on the Union. At the close of
+the meetings the women have access to a box of leaflets on social
+purity, training of children, &amp;c., which they read and return.</p>
+
+<p>Atlanta University has a Y.W.C.T.U., composed of over seventy girls in
+the Higher Normal department. I wish our Northern friends could look
+into their intelligent faces and watch their eager interest in this
+work. A committee for visiting the poor reports every week; the press
+superintendent reports her work, and if there is time reads what she
+sent to the papers; the social purity superintendent gives a little
+talk or has something read on the subject; and the most cheering thing
+of all is the report from our literature superintendents, who often
+report as many as thirty books or leaflets read during the week from
+our little circulating library. This library cost about five dollars.</p>
+
+<p>Every officer in all these four Unions is a Negro except one. They
+preside with such intelligence, grace and dignity, that our Southern white
+<a name="page218" id="page218"></a><span class="newpage">[pg 218]</span>
+ladies who sometimes visit them are enthusiastic in their
+praise. The Unions plan for a mass meeting every three months in some
+large church.</p>
+
+<p>Its forty departments of organized work give each a place where she
+can do her best, and its opportunities for visiting the lowly are
+excellent. To give our money is generous, but to give ourselves is
+Christly. House-to-house visitation and personal contact of the
+ignorant and unfortunate with those who are only a <i>little</i> wiser and
+better, even, is a mighty elevator. A W.C.T.U. visiting committee with
+short terms of office, and so including a large number of women during
+the year, can, in an <i>official</i> capacity, call on a poor or wayward
+sister without antagonizing her or wounding her self-respect.</p>

+<h2>OUR YOUNG FOLKS.</h2>
+
+<h3>CHILDREN'S DAY AT TALLADEGA.</h3>
+<center>
+<b>MRS. H.S. DEFOREST.</b>
+</center>
+
+<p>A glorious sun ushered in the 29th of April, when for the first time
+Children's Day was observed by the College Church. Deft fingers had
+adorned the white walls, the chandeliers and the rostrum, with living
+green, and from pulpit and organ glowed and burned the roses which
+blossomed in rare profusion for this happy day. Early, from every
+quarter, flocked the children, many with faces &quot;black, but comely,&quot;
+and all in attire neat and clean. Seats reserved for their use were
+speedily filled, and as their voices rose in songs of praise, canary
+and mocking bird from swinging cages swelled the glad sound. An
+ascription of praise to God by the choir opened the exercises, the
+pastor following with appropriate Scripture and prayer, and a word as
+to the object of the decorations and special service&mdash;not for a picnic
+or celebration, but that the children might ever remember this day
+with solemn and peculiar interest as their very own.</p>
+
+<p>After the chanting by the choir, soft and slow, of &quot;Suffer the little
+children to come unto me,&quot; twenty children were presented by their
+parents for baptism, two of the youngest belonging to officers of the
+College. Parents brought two, and even three, little ones, that the
+man of God might place upon their foreheads the seal of their
+consecration, and in solemn and tender words they were reminded of the
+meaning and obligation of the rite.</p>
+
+<p>A second exercise of unusual interest was the presentation of a Bible
+to each of the baptized children of the church between the ages of
+seven and twelve. To sixteen children, the day was thus made
+memorable, the giving being prefaced with fitting remarks, and the
+hope being expressed that during the year the new Bible might be read
+entirely through. One recipient on reaching home immediately fell to
+work, and on being remonstrated with for using his eyes too steadily,
+said, &quot;This is too good a
+<a name="page219" id="page219"></a><span class="newpage">[pg 219]</span>
+Bible to stop reading.&quot; Doubtless all were
+appreciated in like manner, and will be sacredly treasured.</p>
+
+<p>Short and pertinent addresses, suitable to childhood, were made by
+chosen speakers, hymns familiar and appropriate were sung, and the
