+
+OUR MISSIONS AND MISSIONARIES.
+
+
+It is our custom to publish in the second issue of the Magazine for each
+year a catalogue of the churches, institutions and schools into which we
+place the offerings devoted by those who send them, to the great work of
+the American Missionary Association.
+
+If our readers will look carefully at this, and preserve it for future
+reference, they will come into sympathy more easily and truly with those
+who have gone from our Christian homes and churches in the name of
+Christ and for his sake.
+
+These pages of names and places represent many things:
+
+_First._--_The work._ Our missionaries are among four races, the white,
+the black, the red and the yellow. These are children of a common
+Father; they are under the dominion of a common sinfulness; they are the
+possible heirs of a common Saviour. We go to them with the same gospel,
+which is able to save them to the same fellowship of faith and love on
+earth and to the same heaven.
+
+_Secondly._--_The missionaries and the characteristics of their work._
+There are represented in this list, teachers of theology, teachers of
+language, of history, of philosophy and of science. There are teachers
+of "common branches" and "higher branches." There are teachers of
+industries for men and women, house-makers and home-makers. There are
+preachers to organized churches and preachers at large whose work is to
+gather churches. They are all alike missionaries.
+
+Notice, also, what a large proportion of our missionary work is being
+done by Christian women. Well did Secretary Hiatt say, "The history of
+this Association is a grand and splendid eulogy of woman." "Our sisters
+who went South while the sky was yet heavy with the clouds of war from
+the homes of refinement and culture and religion," are many of them
+remaining until now, and they are continually re-enforced from our best
+institutions of learning in the East and in the West. There is a common
+fidelity on the shores of the Gulf, in the mountains of the South and
+among the tribes of the plains. These men and women in our churches and
+schools who have given themselves in consecration and sacrifice to this
+service are leading those who have been crushed by oppressions and
+wrongs of men, and who have been degraded in ignorance and in sin, to
+rise into a new life, and into new habits of thought and feeling.
+
+They are working to rescue millions from the woful inheritances of the
+pitiless centuries. They are teaching those who are to be the teachers
+of their people. They are preparing those who shall lead their own
+peoples. It is not a work of a score of years, nor of half a century. It
+is a part of the work of Christianity, whatever time it may take, and we
+ask those who pray "_Thy kingdom come_" to remember these missionary
+teachers and preachers before God that they may be of good courage,
+faithful and patient in their ministering.
+
+_Thirdly._--_These pages represent also the faith and sacrifices of
+Christians by which this service of Jesus Christ goes on._ Brethren and
+sisters, you who contribute to this work, read in these names assurances
+to gladden your hearts and cheer your faith. See what solid regiments of
+the Master's army are in the land where slavery has perished, but where
+the problems which follow it are larger than ever before. Look up the
+locations of these missionaries on the map, and see where they are, in
+the valleys and on the mountains of the South, in plains of the far
+West, and on the shores of the Pacific sea. They report cheering
+tidings. Their schools are overflowing. Converts are being added to
+their churches. Our institutions are in harmony and zealous emulation.
+The year has opened auspiciously, "And the best of all is, God is with
+us."
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+The Rev. Frank E. Jenkins, who succeeded the Rev. C.J. Ryder as a Field
+Superintendent, and who has served the Association since that time with
+an untiring devotion and with signal ability, has at his own urgent
+request been transferred from this general work to a specific part of
+the field.
+
+He has accepted the pastorate of the Congregational Church of New
+Decatur, Ala., with which we are in co-operation. Our consent to this
+change would have been the more reluctant but for the fact that we are
+in heartiest sympathy with the missionary purposes contemplated in this
+exchange of service.
+
+We congratulate the New Decatur church upon its entrance into its
+tasteful edifice--recently dedicated,--with a pastor whom we relinquish
+from the relationships of Field Superintendent only upon his own
+repeated convictions of duty, and in view of his preference for this
+particular work.
+
+SOUTHERN NOTES.
+
+BY SECRETARY A.F. BEARD.
+
+
+The "sleeper" had been transformed into a parlor car, which was used
+that day chiefly by the colored porter and myself. The "paper-boy" came
+through and offered me a New York _Illustrated Weekly_, adorned on the
+first page with the portrait of Jefferson Davis, for whom the South was
+then mourning with great abundance of white and black cotton cloth.
+
+After I had declined with thanks to invest in this picture, I turned to
+the colored porter who was travelling in the white man's car in apparent
+"social equality" and casually remarked, "Your people should feel very
+grateful to Jefferson Davis for what he did for you. You ought to have
+that picture." With a surprise that he could not conceal, he intimated
+that he did not understand me. He "didn't care for it," and "didn't know
+what Jeff Davis had done for his people."
+
+Time being at some discount, I undertook to tell him that "Jefferson
+Davis did more than any other person to take the South out of the Union.
+He was chief among the secessionists. Then, as President, he made so
+many mistakes, he did more than any other man to prevent the success of
+the Confederacy. He did more to bring about the freedom of the slave
+than any other man. Since the emancipation of your race came on as a
+consequence of secession, why should you not be grateful to Jefferson
+Davis and cherish his memory?"
+
+The black man by this time had gathered himself up for his reply to my
+Q.E.D. Not knowing what my sympathies might be, he replied in a slow and
+careful way, "Well, sir, I can't see it as you do. The way it looks to
+me is this, you know. In these days there are a good many people who
+don't believe in God--not much--but I reckon it was God who set my
+people free. You see, he didn't want that condition of things any
+longer. It was God who did it, sir, that's what I think, and I don't
+believe it was Jeff Davis. That's my view."
+
+I did not argue the question further. When one gets down solid upon the
+decrees, then I stop. But as the car rolled along with the speed usual
+on Southern railways, I pondered the text, "The wrath of man shall
+praise Him, and the remainder thereof shall he restrain."
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+He was a colored porter, and I may have transgressed the laws of "social
+equality" in asking him aught other than to make up the berth, and to
+call me early. With the judgment resting upon Geo. W. Cable--who is
+never to be forgotten or forgiven because he had conference with some
+colored people in Nashville, and did not insult them--one should be very
+careful of his social equality. Nevertheless, I ventured to talk with
+this colored porter. I asked him what he knew about his race, and what
+he thought of his people and their prospects.
+
+He said, "I was raised in North Carolina, never had much chance myself,
+had only a country school to go to--kept by a colored man--not very good
+teacher--pretty good--better than none. But there's good many good
+schools now, and good many smart colored people by this time, sir.
+There's a good many risin' all the time. Old Fred. Douglass is a right
+smart man, you know; but then he sort o' left his race when he married a
+white woman. We don't think so much of him as a leader as we used to."
+
+The car rolled on. It was two hours late at my station. The bus man who
+stood in the stage door and collected the fares was conversational. He
+was unaware that by my ride and conversation in the car, I had forfeited
+my "social equality" with him. Hence he did not ostracise me; but
+smiling, said, "Train very late to-day, sir." "Isn't it usually as late
+as this?" I asked. "Invariably, sir, except when it's later."

+
+PARAGRAPHS.
+
+
+Dr. Rankin, the newly-elected President of Howard University, writes:
+
+"Everything at the University begins very promisingly. We had a crowded
+preaching service on Sunday night, and are observing the week of prayer
+at 12:30 noon. The meetings are full and impressive."
+
+"If a donor should give a great material gift to the University, I am
+sure I ought to write you. But the great Giver is giving us the choicest
+of spiritual gifts. Eight of the students, one of them a senior, this
+noon expressed a desire for prayers. We continue the daily meeting at
+noon."
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+The immigration into the United States is steadily declining, as appears
+by the figures reported in the papers, while the blending of the
+foreigners here is steadily and rapidly going forward, rendering them
+speedily one people. On the other hand, the colored population in the
+Southern States is steadily augmenting, while the alienation between the
+black and white races in the South is becoming more pronounced. The
+Southern problem is the more difficult of solution.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+A clergyman in a Southern town who is connected with families of great
+influence, and who ministers to a large white church, is accustomed to
+preach every afternoon in a colored church under the care of this
+Association. He usually repeats to the colored church the sermon
+preached in the forenoon to his own people, and finds that those who
+hear it in the afternoon appreciate it fully. The two remarkable facts
+in this incident are that the gentleman should consent to do this
+gratuitous labor for the colored church, and that the colored church
+should understand and appreciate the sermon prepared for the cultured
+white congregation.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+A BEAUTIFUL GIFT.
+
+
+Mr. Silas M. Rideout, of Cumberland, Maine, has presented to the
+American Missionary Association, through the Boston office, a most
+beautiful box for keepsakes. It is about 6 inches in width, 9 in length
+and 4 in depth, made of inlaid woods of different colors very tastefully
+arranged, "American Missionary" being set in the cover. The inside is
+lined with plush. On a card in the box the following was written by a
+friend: "This box was presented to the American Missionary Association
+by a good man living in a small town in Maine, who, like that good
+fisherman of whom we have heard, gives such as he had. This dear brother
+of _four-score_ and _two years_, made this box and presented it to the
+American Missionary Association, with its contents $10.25, which was
+contributed by such of his friends as desired to have a look at the
+skill of their aged brother in his work of love for the cause of
+Christ." It was intended by our venerable friend that this box should
+draw other contributions and finally be sold, the proceeds to be devoted
+to the work of the American Missionary Association in which Mr. Rideout
+has been so deeply interested for many years. A gentleman in Boston
+offers $12 for the box. Will not some one make a better offer, and in
+this way recognize the remarkable skill of this aged friend in his
+effort to increase the income of the Association to help the needy
+millions among whom our missionaries labor?
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+THE SOUTHERN SITUATION.
+
+SOME SUGGESTIVE FACTS.
+
+
+_First Fact._ The condition of the colored man In the South is becoming
+more pitiable and precarious. Mr. Grady, in his last speech, announced
+the unalterable purpose of the Southern whites never to submit to Negro
+rule, and we read not long since of a "quiet election" held in a
+Southern city, because the colored people, duly warned, kept away from
+the polls. We know something, also, of the struggles of that people
+against almost insuperable difficulties in trying to obtain food, homes
+and education. In addition to all this, the public press keeps us
+informed with sad frequency of the repeated murders inflicted upon the
+defenceless colored people.
+
+_Second Fact._ We learn with gratification that Southern people of high
+standing denounce these outrages. Governor Richardson, of South
+Carolina, assured a colored delegation that called upon him, that he had
+offered a reward for the apprehension of the Barnwell murderers, and
+pledged his sacred word that nothing would be undone on his part to
+bring the lynchers to condign punishment. Senator Wade Hampton is said
+to have endorsed the sentiments of the Governor, and leading Southern
+papers have censured in unmeasured terms this outrage.
+
+But as yet these murderers have not been arrested, and we presume that
+no one expects they will be. The murderers of Mr. Clayton, of Arkansas,
+who presumed to run as an independent candidate for Congress, were
+denounced by the authorities of the State, and rewards were offered for
+their apprehension. But, though many months have elapsed, they have not
+been arrested, and no one, North or South, imagines that they will be
+punished. Kind words from Southern officials will not solve the great
+problem.
+
+_Third Fact._ The colored people bear up well under all these trying
+circumstances. We should suppose they would be utterly discouraged, for
+they see little prospect of securing their rights as men and citizens,
+and even life and property are not safe. They are allured to a change of
+location by flaming handbills, making tempting but deceptive offers of
+better wages and better homes. They are hunted down and massacred, and
+yet their wrongs are unredressed.
+
+But in spite of all this, they struggle on, constantly gaining property
+and homes, some of them acquiring wealth. If they are deceived on
+reaching some new Eldorado, losing their all in making the change, they
+do not give up, but strike in again. If they are not safe in some rural
+districts, they go to the cities. But best of all, their educated men
+are showing great wisdom and moderation, as witness the calm and
+dispassionate action of the Convention of the most intelligent and
+influential colored men in Charleston, S.C., after the Barnwell
+massacre. They passed resolutions of dignified condemnation of the
+wrong, yet urged their people to remain quiet, and let the proper
+authorities vindicate the law. The forbearance of that meeting has won
+the commendations of leading white men in the South.
+
+And here let us say, that the white people of the South make no greater
+mistake, than when they imagine that it is a dangerous thing to educate
+the colored people. On the contrary, we believe that the facts make it
+manifest that it is by these educated men that their race will be guided
+wisely and safely through this great crisis, and that if a war of races
+is to be avoided, these educated colored men will be a grand factor in
+averting it.
+
+_Fourth Fact._ It is conceded by all right-thinking people, that the
+education of the colored race is the only true solution of the Southern
+problem. This has been declared in Presidential messages, in the
+utterances of such candid men as Dr. Curry, Dr. Haygood and Colonel
+Keating, by writers in all the Northern religious papers, and is, we
+believe, the accepted and settled opinion of Christian people at the
+North. Everybody admits, also, that there is a crisis coming, and that
+what is done for Negro education must be done quickly. The North has a
+duty in this matter, and admits it. Our constituents have a special duty
+in the case, and they feel it. They have done nobly in the past, and
+have assumed great responsibilities which cannot now be neglected or
+deferred. But here is the strangest of all the facts in this series:
+With the urgency before them, _our constituents do not make a
+corresponding increase in their donations_.
+
+We feel impelled to urge this upon the attention of pastors, churches
+and individuals. Brethren and friends, do not delay as in the case of
+slavery, till the conflict comes! Do not expect that everybody else is
+doing what is needed. The responsibility is personal and pressing, and
+each individual and church can meet it only by making larger gifts--not
+from an impulse, but from a deliberate purpose formed under a sense of
+obligation to the Negro, the Nation and to Christ.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+REV. W.W. PATTON, D.D., LL.D.
+
+
+The sudden and unexpected death of Dr. Patton takes away a man who has
+made a shining mark in the various relations of pastor, secretary,
+editor and president of a university. All these responsible positions he
+has filled with great fidelity and success. It becomes us to speak
+especially of his relations to this Association, which have been
+intimate and special. He was one of the few men present at the formation
+of the American Missionary Association in Albany in 1846, encountering
+the obloquy and ostracism which was then attached to those who favored
+the new movement. In 1868 he became the Western Corresponding Secretary
+of the Association in Chicago, and held this position for about two
+years. In 1877 he accepted the Presidency of Howard University in
+Washington, D.C., the theological department of which is under the care
+of the Association, and in which Dr. Patton was a teacher. Thus from the
+founding of the Association till the time of his death, Dr. Patton had
+been connected with it, sometimes officially, and always with deep
+sympathy and earnest co-operation.
+
+He was in usual health, with his wonted vigor of body and mind, till
+within a few hours of his death, and on the day on which that occurred,
+his Presidency of Howard University expired by the terms of his
+resignation. He seemed to be fitted for further usefulness, and had
+looked forward with the expectation of using his pen and voice in the
+interests of the Master whom he had so faithfully served, but the scene
+of his active enjoyment and services was by that Master transferred to
+the higher realm.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+REVIVAL AT STRAIGHT UNIVERSITY.
+
+
+President Hitchcock writes from Straight University: "Our meetings
+during the 'week of prayer,' took on the character of revival meetings,
+and I have never before seen the school so stirred. Every girl boarding
+in Stone Hall is professedly converted, and there are not more than
+eight or ten boys who are not in the same good way, and every one of
+these is interested and has asked for prayers. Rejoice with us and pray
+for us."

+THE INDIAN.
+
+_Address at the Annual Meeting in Chicago_,
+
+BY RT. REV. H.B. WHIPPLE.
+
+
+I accepted the kind invitation of my good brother, Rev. Dr. Strieby, to
+address you, because I do believe that if the hedges which have been
+builded in the garden of the Lord are ever taken away, it will be by
+hearty, believing work for our Saviour. The history of the North
+American Indians is a sad story of wrongs. You may begin far back in the
+days of our Puritan fathers, when Christian men marched to the music of
+a fife and drum, with the head of King Philip on a pole, and then after
+prayer, decided that the sins of the father ought to be visited on the
+children, and therefore sold his son as a slave to Bermuda; and you may
+follow down to where the saintly Worcester, a Congregational missionary,
+was tried, sentenced, and went to the Penitentiary in Georgia for
+teaching Indians to read; and so on to where a Moravian church of
+Christian Indians were cruelly tortured and murdered; and so on to the
+last of our Indian wars, and it is a dark story of robbery and
+wrongs--we have spent five hundred millions on Indian wars, and have
+killed ten of our own people to every one killed of the Indians. Thank
+God that by the efforts of Christian men, the heart of the Nation has
+been touched, and to-day willing hands and hearts are laboring for their
+Christian civilization.
+
+When I went to my diocese thirty years ago, there were over twenty
+thousand Indians in Minnesota. They had sunk to a depth of degradation
+their heathen fathers had not known. Friends told me it was hopeless,
+that they were a perishing race. I said if they are perishing, the more
+reason to make haste to give to them the gospel. The picture was dark,
+but not darker than that drawn by the pen of divine Inspiration in the
+first chapter of Romans. I carried it where I have learned to take all
+which troubles me, and at my blessed Saviour's feet I promised I would
+never turn my back on the Indian whom God had placed at my door, and I
+have tried to keep the vow.
+
+I can tell you the story of Indian missions by relating one incident.
+Some years ago, Rev. Lord Charles Hervey went with me to the Indian
+country. We had delightful services. After the Holy Communion we were
+sitting on the green-sward near a house. The head chief said, "Your
+friend came from across the great water; does he know the Indian's
+history?" I said "No." He said "I will tell him."
+
+"Before the white man came, the forests and prairies were full of game,
+the rivers and lakes were full of fish, the wild rice was Manidou gift
+to the red man. Would you like to see one of these Indians?" There
+stepped out on the porch an Indian man and woman dressed in furs,
+ornamented with porcupine quills. "There," said the chief, "my people
+were like those before the white man came."
+
+"Shall I tell you what the white man did for us? He came and told us we
+had no fire horses, no fire canoes, no houses. He said if we would sell
+him our land, he would make us like white men. Shall I tell you what he
+did? No, you had better see it." The door opened, and out stepped a
+poor, degraded looking Indian, his face besmeared with mud, his blanket
+in rags, no leggins, and by his side a poor, wretched looking woman in a
+torn calico dress. The chief raised his hands and said, "Manido Manido,
+is this an Indian?" The man bowed his head. "How came this?" The Indian
+held up a black bottle and said, "This was the white man's gift." Some
+of us bowed our heads in shame.
+
+Said the chief, "If this were all, I would not have told you. Long years
+ago a pale-faced man came to our country. He spoke kindly, and seemed to
+want to help us, but our hearts were hard. We hated the white man and
+would not listen. Every summer when the sun was so high, he came. We
+always looked to see his tall form coming through the forest. One year I
+said to my fellows, 'what does this man come for? He does not trade with
+us, he never asks anything of us. Perhaps the Great Spirit sent him.' We
+stopped to listen. Some of us have that story in our hearts. Shall I
+tell you what it has done for us?" The door opened and out stepped a
+young man--a clergyman--in a black frock coat, and by his side a woman
+neatly dressed in a black alpaca dress. Said the chief, "There is only
+one religion in the world which can lift a man out of the mire and tell
+him to call God 'Father,' and that is the religion of Jesus Christ."
+
+We have had many deferred hopes, and sometimes it has been dark as
+midnight. After nearly three years of hard work, I had both of my Indian
+missions destroyed, church and mission house burned, and our western
+border for three hundred miles desolated by an Indian massacre, which
+destroyed the fairest portion of our State, and left eight hundred of
+our citizens sleeping in nameless graves. It was needed to teach us that
+nations as well as individuals reap exactly what they sow. We began
+again. Here and there some Indian would listen, and the gospel was the
+same to him as to us. One day an Indian came to our missionary and said,
+"I know this religion is true. The men who have walked in this new trail
+are better and happier. But I have always been a warrior, and my hands
+are full of blood. Could I be a Christian?" The missionary repeated the
+story of God's love. To test the man he said, "May I cut your hair?" The
+Indian wears his scalp lock for his enemy--when it is cut it is a sign
+he will never go on the war-path again. The man said, "Yes, you may cut
+it; I shall throw my old life away." It was cut. He started for home and
+met some wild Indians who shouted with laughter, and with taunts said:
+"Yesterday you were a warrior, to-day you are a squaw." It stung the man
+to madness, and he rushed to his home and threw himself on the floor and
+burst into tears. His wife was a Christian, and came and put her arms
+about his neck and said: "Yesterday there was not a man in the world
+who dared call you a coward. Can't you be as brave for Him who died for
+you as you were to kill the Sioux?" He sprang to his feet and said, "I
+can and I will." I have known many brave, fearless servants of Christ,
+but I never knew one braver than this chief who is now in Paradise.
+
+I wish I could take you to a Christian Indian's home. You might see
+nothing but a plain log house, and you might wonder why the tears came
+in my eyes as he said to me, "That is my daughter's room; the boys sleep
+up stairs; this is for me and my wife." They are tears of joy, for I
+knew them when they herded as swine, in a wigwam. It is the religion of
+Christ which has brought respect for womanhood.
+
+I want to take you far away in the forest to Red Lake. The head chief,
+Mah-dwah-go-no-wind, was a remarkable man as a wild man, true, honest
+and brave. He came and asked me to give him a missionary. I loved him
+and we were warm friends. I said "I cannot give you a missionary for the
+American Missionary Association has a missionary now in that field." The
+chief came again and again to see me. He said: "I want your religion. If
+you refuse I will ask the Roman Catholics." I wrote Rev. Dr. Strieby,
+and told him the situation. I said "The field is in my diocese. I have
+the right to send a missionary there, but ask your consent because I
+will never be a party to present Christian divisions to heathen men."
+After due deliberation, the Association consented. I am happy to tell
+you that that old chief and nearly all the adults of his band are
+faithful communicants. At my last visit, the chief came to me and said,
+"My Father, since you were here, my old wife with whom I have lived
+fifty years, has gone to sleep in the grave. I shall go to lie by her
+side. I have heard that white Christians bless the place where they
+sleep as belonging to God. Will you bless the place where my wife sleeps
+and ask God to care for it until he calls his children out of the
+grave?" We formed a procession of the Indians, the clergy and the old
+chief and myself, and marched around the place singing in Ojibway,
+"Jesus lover of my soul"; then I read appropriate scripture, made an
+address and offered prayer, and asked blessing on this "acre of God."
+After the service the chief said: "I thank you for telling me I have a
+Saviour. I thank you for blessing the place where my wife sleeps. I have
+your face on my heart. Good bye."
+
+I could keep you longer than I ought telling you of the lights and
+shadows of missionary life. The North American Indian is the noblest
+type of a wild man on the earth. He recognizes a Great Spirit, he loves
+his home, he is passionately devoted to his people, and believes in a
+future life. The Ojibway language is a marvel. The verb has inflections
+by thousands. If an Indian says "I love" and stops, you can tell by the
+inflection of the verb whether he loves an animate or inanimate object,
+a man or a woman. The nicest shade of meaning in St. Paul's Epistles
+could be conveyed in Ojibway, and I have heard a missionary say, "A
+classic Greek temple standing in the forest would not be more marvelous
+than this wonderful language."
+
+The Indians are heathen folk and will often come to the Christian life
+fettered by old heathen ideas, and some may stumble and fall; they did
+in St. Paul's time; but I can say that some of the noblest instances of
+the power of religion I have ever known have been among these poor red
+men. I can recall death-beds where an Indian looked up in my face and
+said, "The Great Spirit has called me to go on the last journey. I am
+not afraid to go, for Jesus is going with me, and I shall not be
+lonesome on the road."
+
+I am happy to tell you that the clouds are breaking. Thousands of this
+poor race are rejoicing in the light of the Gospel. The heart of the
+nation has been touched, and thousands are laboring for their salvation.
+The Indians are not decreasing. It is due to the absence of internecine
+wars, to their protection from dangerous contagious diseases, to better
+medical care and a wiser administration. In the future, Indians must
+have citizenship, but not until they are prepared for this precious
+boon. The ballot cannot redeem humanity. I was asked by President
+Cleveland what I thought of making the Indian a voter. I said, "It has
+been tried." Under an old territorial law, any Indian who wore the
+civilized dress could vote. I have heard of an election where a tribe of
+Indians were put through a hickory shirt and pair of pants, and we know
+how that election went. The Indian must have the protection of law. In
+his wild state he has the "lex talionis." He becomes a Christian. A
+drunken wild man kills his cow or insults his wife. He could punish the
+brute, but we have taught him that he must not revenge his wrongs, and
+so the Christian Indian is pitiably helpless. I can take you to an
+Indian village where property and life are safe, where childhood,
+womanhood, and old age are cared for, and it is due to the Gospel of
+Christ.
+
+While missionary work must be carried on in the native tongue, the
+schools ought to teach the English language--if schools are conducted
+only in the heathen tongue, you not only have no Christian ideas, but
+when the child has learned to read, he has no books. He should be taught
+in a language which opens to him the literature, the science and the
+Christian teaching of the Christian world. The Gospel of Jesus Christ
+will do for the Indian what it has done for others through all the
+ages--give him home, manhood and freedom.
+
+Lastly--we are living in eventful times. One hundred years ago the
+people who spoke the English tongue were less numerous than some of the
+Latin races of Europe. To-day one hundred and fifty millions of people
+speak the English language. When we remember how God made the Greek
+tongue the language of the world to prepare for the first preaching of
+the Gospel of His Son, may we not believe he designs to use our English
+tongue to prepare for the second coming of our Lord?
+
+Brethren, we hear a great deal about Indian problems, Negro problems,
+and problems which hinder all work for God and man. When General Sherman
+and other officers of the army were sent out to investigate that awful
+massacre in Colorado, they wrote in their report: "The Indian problem,
+like all other human problems, can be solved by one sentence in an old
+book--'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.'"

+LETTER FROM MISS COLLINS.
+
+
+I went to Oahe to take two girls to school, and was gone eleven days. I
+travelled nearly three hundred miles, driving my ponies myself, and last
+Sabbath held the services for Spotted Bear in the morning, as Mr. Riggs
+was absent; taught a class in the afternoon, and returned to Cheyenne
+agency on Monday, to find that the Indian man who went with me had
+returned home. I visited the Government school there, and witnessed
+Major McChesney issue the annuities to the Indians; found a party of
+Indians coming this way as far as the Itazipco camp on the Moreau; came
+with them so far--about forty-five miles from here--and from there
+Bessie, Jumbo (my ponies) and I came on alone. I drove the forty-five
+miles in one day, arriving here at dark.
+
+At Cheyenne a number of fine-looking, well-dressed young Indian men came
+up to me and addressed me in English. I did not recognize some of them,
+and they told me they went to school to me in '75, '76 and '77. I
+remember them as dirty little long-haired, blanket Indians. It made my
+heart strong to take these manly young men by the hand and to hear them
+say, "You were my first teacher."
+
+One night, when I was coming home, we got into camp, and the Indian tent
+had on one side a man and his wife, his son and daughter, and his baby
+twins. On the other side of the fire, another man, wife and child, four
+dogs, two puppies, and back of the fire a man and his wife and two young
+men and myself. When supper was ready, the dogs were put outside, the
+children hushed, and the head man said, "Winona pray." They were all
+strangers to me but two of them, so you may know I was surprised. I
+prayed, and when I finished, all said, "Ho, ho, ho," that is, all the
+men. I was again surprised at the universal consent or endorsement of
+the petition. I had some rich experiences, many hardships new to me, but
+I sowed seed which I doubt not will spring up. A half-breed Indian, Joe
+Hodgkiss, and his wife, were very kind to me.
+
+When I got in sight of the house here, men stood all along the road
+waiting to shake hands with me. I should not have undertaken the trip,
+but the girls were about fifteen years old, and if they were not in
+school this winter they never would be. I could not see the good
+material in them wasted. Mr. Reed could not go, and he did not want
+Elias to leave his school to go. So I hired a team and went. I am glad
+I did. God meant me to get into the homes and hearts of those strangers,
+and I had no fear but that he planned it all.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *

+GRAND VIEW, TENN.
+
+
+A teacher writes: "Doubtless you have learned how full our school is. We
+all feel that we _must_ do something in some way to have more buildings.
+Several were obliged to go away last week, being unable to secure
+boarding-places. The dormitory is more than full. There are sixteen boys
+in four small rooms; three boys occupy one end of the old store house
+near the railroad. This warm weather is certainly favorable for them.
+Twenty new pupils came one day. Others are expected to-morrow. Where
+shall we put them? Nine in the main room are now without seats; chairs
+were placed in the aisle. In the primary room it is just as full,
+forty-two being crowded into space intended for thirty-two."
+
+Another: "We are blessed with a deep religious awakening, which has
+reached many of the students."

+BUREAU OF WOMAN'S WORK.
+
+MISS D.E. EMERSON, SECRETARY.
+
+
+In reading our list of Missionaries and Mission Stations, ladies will
+recognize many familiar names of those in whom they have become
+particularly interested through contributions to the work.
+
+Maine ladies will find their four teachers for whose support they have
+become responsible.
+
+Vermont ladies will look at the McIntosh School with a sense of
+proprietorship, and rejoice in its enlargement.
+
+Massachusetts and Rhode Island may find their four teachers sustained by
+the Woman's Home Missionary Association, and many Massachusetts ladies
+who have been especially interested in the school at Tougaloo may
+rejoice to be connected with such an institution.
+
+Connecticut ladies have done much for their school at Thomasville, Ga.,
+although not as largely through their State Union. This school was begun
+through the liberality of a Connecticut lady, and for its continuance
+and development this Association depends upon the Bureau of Woman's
+Work. Contributions from all sources are solicited.
+
+The New York Union abides by its principles to increase its contribution
+each year, and in addition to the support of three missionaries, pledges
+six hundred dollars to the general work.
+
+The Ohio Union comes forward also with an appropriation to the general
+work, additional to the support of four missionaries.
+
+The Illinois Union continues its support to two missionaries, and hopes
+for a third during the year.
+
+If the ladies of Michigan will look at the Athens, Ala., Trinity School
+in our list, they will see their own State represented there, an
+incentive, we trust, to special effort toward the sum recommended by the
+officers of their Union.
+
+The ladies of Minnesota have the opportunity to aid the school at
+Jonesboro, Tennessee, and if they carry out the recommendation of their
+Minnesota Missionary Society, they will this year sustain in full the
+two lady teachers.
+
+The other Missionary Unions represented in our list have shown especial
+interest, and nearly all have made such pledge of help as will soon
+secure them a special representative in the field.
+
+A Children's Missionary is sustained by ladies and children, and special
+work is also assigned to Christian Endeavor Societies.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+Thus it will be seen that the long list of Ladies' Societies shown each
+month as co-operating with us, is not merely in name. We really have
+their help, and a careful reading of our list of missionaries will make
+clear that we not only need their help, but can give them much more to
+do.
+
+A lady recently brought to us five hundred dollars as the result of her
+personal effort, and when we expressed to her our thanks she exclaimed,
+"Don't say a word; it is _my_ work as well as yours." Let us be workers
+together.
+
+In sending your money to your State officers, do not fail to designate
+it as for the _American Missionary Association_.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+The Way One Mission Band in Iowa raised its money--"Our society was
+organized in 1888, and the first year we sent twenty dollars for Beach
+Institute. We have about twenty members, from five to thirteen years of
+age. We meet once a month through the summer, but close for the winter.
+Last summer I gave to all over ten years of age a nickel, and those
+under ten a penny to see how much they could gain. These are a few of
+the reports. One little boy with his nickel bought a sitting of eggs
+from which he raised eleven chickens, which he sold for two dollars and
+twenty cents. Another raised nine chickens which he sold for two
+dollars. Another bought a little turkey, which he sold at Thanksgiving
+for a dollar and ten cents. Another with a penny bought a squash vine,
+from which he sold five large squashes for fifty-five cents. Another
+bought a row of potatoes for which he received fifty cents, and so the
+pennies multiplied. I gave mite-boxes to all in the spring, and so at
+the end of the year we are able again to send you the neat little sum of
+twenty-five dollars."

+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.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  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.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.8.  You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  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.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  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

+     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.
+
+
+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.

+
+<h2>Our Missions And Missionaries.</h2>
+
+
+<p>It is our custom to publish in the second issue of the Magazine for each
+year a catalogue of the churches, institutions and schools into which we
+place the offerings devoted by those who send them, to the great work of
+the American Missionary Association.</p>
+
+<p>If our readers will look carefully at this, and preserve it for future
+reference,
+they will come into sympathy more easily and truly with those who
+have gone from our Christian homes and churches in the name of Christ
+and for his sake.</p>
+
+<p>These pages of names and places represent many things:</p>
+
+<p><span class="hi" style="font-style: italic;">First.</span>&mdash;<span class="hi" style="font-style: italic;">The work.</span> Our missionaries are among four races, the
+white,
+the black, the red and the yellow. These are children of a common
+Father; they are under the dominion of a common sinfulness; they are
+the possible heirs of a common Saviour. We go to them with the same
+gospel, which is able to save them to the same fellowship of faith and
+love on earth and to the same heaven.</p>
+
+<p><span class="hi" style="font-style: italic;">Secondly.</span>&mdash;<span class="hi" style="font-style: italic;">The missionaries and the characteristics of their
+work.</span> There
+are represented in this list, teachers of theology, teachers of language,
+of history, of philosophy and of science. There are teachers of "common
+branches" and "higher branches." There are teachers of industries
+for men and women, house-makers and home-makers. There are preachers
+to organized churches and preachers at large whose work is to gather
+churches. They are all alike missionaries.</p>
+
+<p>Notice, also, what a large proportion of our missionary work is being
+done by Christian women. Well did Secretary Hiatt say, "The history of
+this Association is a grand and splendid eulogy of woman." "Our sisters
+who went South while the sky was yet heavy with the clouds of war from
+the homes of refinement and culture and religion," are many of them
+remaining
+
+until now, and they are continually re-enforced from our best institutions
+of learning in the East and in the West. There is a common
+fidelity on the shores of the Gulf, in the mountains of the South and
+among the tribes of the plains. These men and women in our churches
+and schools who have given themselves in consecration and sacrifice to
+this service are leading those who have been crushed by oppressions and
+wrongs of men, and who have been degraded in ignorance and in sin, to
+rise into a new life, and into new habits of thought and feeling.</p>
+
+<p>They are working to rescue millions from the woful inheritances of the
+pitiless centuries. They are teaching those who are to be the teachers of
+their people. They are preparing those who shall lead their own peoples.
+It is not a work of a score of years, nor of half a century. It is a
+part of the work of Christianity, whatever time it may take, and we ask
+those who pray "<span class="hi" style="font-style: italic;">Thy kingdom come</span>" to remember these missionary
+teachers
+and preachers before God that they may be of good courage, faithful
+and patient in their ministering.</p>
+
+<p><span class="hi" style="font-style: italic;">Thirdly.</span>&mdash;<span class="hi" style="font-style: italic;">These pages represent also the faith and sacrifices of
+Christians
+by which this service of Jesus Christ goes on.</span> Brethren and sisters,
+you
+who
+contribute to this work, read in these names assurances to gladden your
+hearts and cheer your faith. See what solid regiments of the Master's
+army are in the land where slavery has perished, but where the problems
+which follow it are larger than ever before. Look up the locations of
+these missionaries on the map, and see where they are, in the valleys
+and on the mountains of the South, in plains of the far West, and on the
+shores of the Pacific sea. They report cheering tidings. Their schools
+are overflowing. Converts are being added to their churches. Our
+institutions
+are in harmony and zealous emulation. The year has opened
+auspiciously, "And the best of all is, God is with us."</p>
+</div>
+
+<div>
+<a name="toc_3"></a>
+
+<p>The Rev. Frank E. Jenkins, who succeeded the Rev. C.J. Ryder as
+a Field Superintendent, and who has served the Association since that time
+with an untiring devotion and with signal ability, has at his own urgent
+request been transferred from this general work to a specific part of the
+field.</p>
+
+<p>He has accepted the pastorate of the Congregational Church of New
+Decatur, Ala., with which we are in co-operation. Our consent to this
+change would have been the more reluctant but for the fact that we are in
+heartiest sympathy with the missionary purposes contemplated in this
+exchange
+of service.</p>
+
+<p>We congratulate the New Decatur church upon its entrance into its
+tasteful edifice&mdash;recently dedicated,&mdash;with a pastor whom we relinquish
+from the relationships of Field Superintendent only upon his own repeated
+convictions of duty, and in view of his preference for this particular
+work.</p>

+<h2>Southern Notes.</h2>
+
+<p>By Secretary A.F. Beard.</p>
+
+
+<p>The "sleeper" had been transformed into a parlor car, which was used
+that day chiefly by the colored porter and myself. The "paper-boy" came
+through and offered me a New York <span class="hi" style="font-style: italic;">Illustrated Weekly</span>, adorned on the
+first page with the portrait of Jefferson Davis, for whom the South was
+then mourning with great abundance of white and black cotton cloth.</p>
+
+<p>After I had declined with thanks to invest in this picture, I turned to
+the colored porter who was travelling in the white man's car in apparent
+"social equality" and casually remarked, "Your people should feel very
+grateful to Jefferson Davis for what he did for you. You ought to have
+that picture." With a surprise that he could not conceal, he intimated that
+he did not understand me. He "didn't care for it," and "didn't know
+what Jeff Davis had done for his people."</p>
+
+<p>Time being at some discount, I undertook to tell him that "Jefferson
+Davis did more than any other person to take the South out of the Union.
+He was chief among the secessionists. Then, as President, he made so
+many mistakes, he did more than any other man to prevent the success of
+the Confederacy. He did more to bring about the freedom of the slave
+than any other man. Since the emancipation of your race came on as a
+consequence of secession, why should you not be grateful to Jefferson
+Davis and cherish his memory?"</p>
+
+<p>The black man by this time had gathered himself up for his reply to my
+Q.E.D. Not knowing what my sympathies might be, he replied in a slow
+and careful way, "Well, sir, I can't see it as you do. The way it looks to
+me is this, you know. In these days there are a good many people who
+don't believe in God&mdash;not much&mdash;but I reckon it was God who set my
+people free. You see, he didn't want that condition of things any longer.
+It was God who did it, sir, that's what I think, and I don't believe it was
+Jeff Davis. That's my view."</p>
+
+<p>I did not argue the question further. When one gets down solid upon the
+decrees, then I stop. But as the car rolled along with the speed usual on
+Southern railways, I pondered the text, "The wrath of man shall praise
+Him, and the remainder thereof shall he restrain."</p>
+
+<br />
+
+<p>He was a colored porter, and I may have transgressed the laws of
+"social equality" in asking him aught other than to make up the berth,
+and to call me early. With the judgment resting upon Geo. W. Cable&mdash;who
+is never to be forgotten or forgiven because he had conference with
+some colored people in Nashville, and did not insult them&mdash;one should be
+very careful of his social equality. Nevertheless, I ventured to talk with
+this colored porter. I asked him what he knew about his race, and what
+he thought of his people and their prospects.</p>
+
+
+<p>He said, "I was raised in North Carolina, never had much chance myself,
+had only a country school to go to&mdash;kept by a colored man&mdash;not very
+good teacher&mdash;pretty good&mdash;better than none. But there's good many
+good schools now, and good many smart colored people by this time, sir.
+There's a good many risin' all the time. Old Fred. Douglass is a right
+smart man, you know; but then he sort o' left his race when he married a
+white woman. We don't think so much of him as a leader as we used to."</p>
+
+<p>The car rolled on. It was two hours late at my station. The bus
+man who stood in the stage door and collected the fares was conversational.
+He was unaware that by my ride and conversation in the car, I had forfeited
+my "social equality" with him. Hence he did not ostracise me;
+but smiling, said, "Train very late to-day, sir." "Isn't it usually as late
+as this?" I asked. "Invariably, sir, except when it's later."</p>

+<h2>Paragraphs.</h2>
+
+<p>Dr. Rankin, the newly-elected President of Howard University, writes:</p>
+
+<p>"Everything at the University begins very promisingly. We had a
+crowded preaching service on Sunday night, and are observing the week of
+prayer at 12:30 noon. The meetings are full and impressive."</p>
+
+<p>"If a donor should give a great material gift to the University, I am
+sure I ought to write you. But the great Giver is giving us the choicest of
+spiritual gifts. Eight of the students, one of them a senior, this noon
+expressed
+a desire for prayers. We continue the daily meeting at noon."</p>
+
+<br />
+
+<p>The immigration into the United States is steadily declining, as appears
+by the figures reported in the papers, while the blending of the foreigners
+here is steadily and rapidly going forward, rendering them speedily one
+people. On the other hand, the colored population in the Southern States
+is steadily augmenting, while the alienation between the black and white
+races in the South is becoming more pronounced. The Southern problem
+is the more difficult of solution.</p>
+
+<br />
+
+<p>A clergyman in a Southern town who is connected with families of great
+influence, and who ministers to a large white church, is accustomed to
+preach every afternoon in a colored church under the care of this
+Association.
+He usually repeats to the colored church the sermon preached in the
+forenoon to his own people, and finds that those who hear it in the
+afternoon appreciate it fully. The two remarkable facts in this incident
+are that the gentleman should consent to do this gratuitous labor for the
+colored church, and that the colored church should understand and
+appreciate
+the sermon prepared for the cultured white congregation.</p>
+</div>
+
+
+<div>
+
+<a name="toc_6"></a>
+<h2>A Beautiful Gift.</h2>
+
+
+<p>Mr. Silas M. Rideout, of Cumberland, Maine, has presented to the
+American Missionary Association, through the Boston office, a most
+beautiful
+box for keepsakes. It is about 6 inches in width, 9 in length and 4 in
+depth, made of inlaid woods of different colors very tastefully arranged,
+"American Missionary" being set in the cover. The inside is lined with
+plush. On a card in the box the following was written by a friend:
+"This box was presented to the American Missionary Association by a
+good man living in a small town in Maine, who, like that good fisherman of
+whom we have heard, gives such as he had. This dear brother of
+<span class="hi" style="font-style: italic;">four-score</span>
+and <span class="hi" style="font-style: italic;">two years</span>, made this box and presented it to the American
+Missionary
+Association, with its contents $10.25, which was contributed by
+such of his friends as desired to have a look at the skill of their aged
+brother in his work of love for the cause of Christ." It was intended by
+our venerable friend that this box should draw other contributions and
+finally be sold, the proceeds to be devoted to the work of the American
+Missionary Association in which Mr. Rideout has been so deeply interested
+for many years. A gentleman in Boston offers $12 for the box.
+Will not some one make a better offer, and in this way recognize the
+remarkable
+skill of this aged friend in his effort to increase the income of
+the Association to help the needy millions among whom our missionaries
+labor?</p>
+</div>
+
+<div>
+<a name="toc_7"></a>
+<h2>The Southern Situation.</h2>
+
+<h2 class="sub">Some Suggestive Facts.</h2>
+
+
+<p><span class="hi" style="font-style: italic;">First Fact.</span> The condition of the colored man In the South is
+becoming
+more pitiable and precarious. Mr. Grady, in his last speech, announced
+the unalterable purpose of the Southern whites never to submit to Negro
+rule, and we read not long since of a "quiet election" held in a Southern
+city, because the colored people, duly warned, kept away from the polls.
+We know something, also, of the struggles of that people against almost
+insuperable difficulties in trying to obtain food, homes and education. In
+addition to all this, the public press keeps us informed with sad frequency
+of the repeated murders inflicted upon the defenceless colored people.</p>
+
+<p><span class="hi" style="font-style: italic;">Second Fact.</span> We learn with gratification that Southern people of
+high
+standing denounce these outrages. Governor Richardson, of South Carolina,
+assured a colored delegation that called upon him, that he had offered
+a reward for the apprehension of the Barnwell murderers, and pledged his
+sacred word that nothing would be undone on his part to bring the lynchers
+to condign punishment. Senator Wade Hampton is said to have endorsed
+the sentiments of the Governor, and leading Southern papers have
+censured in unmeasured terms this outrage.</p>
+
+<p>But as yet these murderers have not been arrested, and we presume that
+
+no one expects they will be. The murderers of Mr. Clayton, of Arkansas,
+who presumed to run as an independent candidate for Congress, were
+denounced by the authorities of the State, and rewards were offered for
+their apprehension. But, though many months have elapsed, they have not
+been arrested, and no one, North or South, imagines that they will be
+punished. Kind words from Southern officials will not solve the great
+problem.</p>
+
+<p><span class="hi" style="font-style: italic;">Third Fact.</span> The colored people bear up well under all these trying
+circumstances. We should suppose they would be utterly discouraged, for
+they see little prospect of securing their rights as men and citizens, and
+even life and property are not safe. They are allured to a change of
+location
+by flaming handbills, making tempting but deceptive offers of better
+wages and better homes. They are hunted down and massacred, and yet
+their wrongs are unredressed.</p>
+
+<p>But in spite of all this, they struggle on, constantly gaining property
+and homes, some of them acquiring wealth. If they are deceived on reaching
+some new Eldorado, losing their all in making the change, they do not
+give up, but strike in again. If they are not safe in some rural districts,
+they go to the cities. But best of all, their educated men are showing
+great
+wisdom and moderation, as witness the calm and dispassionate action of
+the Convention of the most intelligent and influential colored men in
+Charleston, S.C., after the Barnwell massacre. They passed resolutions
+of dignified condemnation of the wrong, yet urged their people to remain
+quiet, and let the proper authorities vindicate the law. The forbearance
+of that meeting has won the commendations of leading white men in the
+South.</p>
+
+<p>And here let us say, that the white people of the South make no greater
+mistake, than when they imagine that it is a dangerous thing to educate
+the colored people. On the contrary, we believe that the facts make it
+manifest that it is by these educated men that their race will be guided
+wisely and safely through this great crisis, and that if a war of races is
+to
+be avoided, these educated colored men will be a grand factor in averting
+it.</p>
+
+<p><span class="hi" style="font-style: italic;">Fourth Fact.</span> It is conceded by all right-thinking people, that the
+education
+of the colored race is the only true solution of the Southern problem.
+This has been declared in Presidential messages, in the utterances of
+such candid men as Dr. Curry, Dr. Haygood and Colonel Keating, by writers
+in all the Northern religious papers, and is, we believe, the accepted
+and settled opinion of Christian people at the North. Everybody admits,
+also, that there is a crisis coming, and that what is done for Negro
+education
+must be done quickly. The North has a duty in this matter, and admits
+it. Our constituents have a special duty in the case, and they feel it.
+They have done nobly in the past, and have assumed great responsibilities
+which cannot now be neglected or deferred. But here is the strangest of
+
+all the facts in this series: With the urgency before them, <span class="hi" style="font-style: italic;">our
+constituents
+do not make a corresponding increase in their donations</span>.</p>
+
+<p>We feel impelled to urge this upon the attention of pastors, churches
+and individuals. Brethren and friends, do not delay as in the case of
+slavery,
+till the conflict comes! Do not expect that everybody else is doing
+what is needed. The responsibility is personal and pressing, and each
+individual
+and church can meet it only by making larger gifts&mdash;not from an
+impulse, but from a deliberate purpose formed under a sense of obligation
+to the Negro, the Nation and to Christ.</p>

+
+<h2>Rev. W.W. Patton, D.D., LL.D.</h2>
+
+<p>The sudden and unexpected death of Dr. Patton takes away a man who
+has made a shining mark in the various relations of pastor, secretary,
+editor
+and president of a university. All these responsible positions he has
+filled with great fidelity and success. It becomes us to speak especially
+of
+his relations to this Association, which have been intimate and special. He
+was one of the few men present at the formation of the American Missionary
+Association in Albany in 1846, encountering the obloquy and ostracism
+which was then attached to those who favored the new movement. In 1868
+he became the Western Corresponding Secretary of the Association in
+Chicago,
+and held this position for about two years. In 1877 he accepted the
+Presidency of Howard University in Washington, D.C., the theological
+department of which is under the care of the Association, and in which
+Dr. Patton was a teacher. Thus from the founding of the Association till
+the time of his death, Dr. Patton had been connected with it, sometimes
+officially, and always with deep sympathy and earnest co-operation.</p>
+
+<p>He was in usual health, with his wonted vigor of body and mind, till
+within a few hours of his death, and on the day on which that occurred, his
+Presidency of Howard University expired by the terms of his resignation.
+He seemed to be fitted for further usefulness, and had looked forward with
+the expectation of using his pen and voice in the interests of the Master
+whom he had so faithfully served, but the scene of his active enjoyment
+and services was by that Master transferred to the higher realm.</p>

+<h2>Revival At Straight University.</h2>
+
+
+<p>President Hitchcock writes from Straight University: "Our meetings
+during the 'week of prayer,' took on the character of revival meetings,
+and I have never before seen the school so stirred. Every girl boarding in
+Stone Hall is professedly converted, and there are not more than eight or
+ten boys who are not in the same good way, and every one of these is
+interested
+and has asked for prayers. Rejoice with us and pray for us."</p>

+<h2>The Indian.</h2>
+
+<h2 class="sub">Address at the Annual Meeting in Chicago,</h2>
+
+<p>By Rt. Rev. H.b. Whipple.</p>
+
+
+<p>I accepted the kind invitation of my good brother, Rev. Dr. Strieby, to
+address you, because I do believe that if the hedges which have been
+builded in the garden of the Lord are ever taken away, it will be by
+hearty,
+believing work for our Saviour. The history of the North American Indians
+is a sad story of wrongs. You may begin far back in the days of
+our Puritan fathers, when Christian men marched to the music of a fife and
+drum, with the head of King Philip on a pole, and then after prayer,
+decided
+that the sins of the father ought to be visited on the children, and
+therefore sold his son as a slave to Bermuda; and you may follow down
+to where the saintly Worcester, a Congregational missionary, was tried,
+sentenced,
+and went to the Penitentiary in Georgia for teaching Indians to
+read; and so on to where a Moravian church of Christian Indians were
+cruelly tortured and murdered; and so on to the last of our Indian wars,
+and it is a dark story of robbery and wrongs&mdash;we have spent five hundred
+millions on Indian wars, and have killed ten of our own people to every
+one killed of the Indians. Thank God that by the efforts of Christian
+men, the heart of the Nation has been touched, and to-day willing hands
+and hearts are laboring for their Christian civilization.</p>
+
+<p>When I went to my diocese thirty years ago, there were over twenty
+thousand Indians in Minnesota. They had sunk to a depth of degradation
+their heathen fathers had not known. Friends told me it was hopeless,
+that they were a perishing race. I said if they are perishing, the more
+reason to make haste to give to them the gospel. The picture was dark,
+but not darker than that drawn by the pen of divine Inspiration in the
+first
+chapter of Romans. I carried it where I have learned to take all which
+troubles me, and at my blessed Saviour's feet I promised I would never
+turn my back on the Indian whom God had placed at my door, and I have
+tried to keep the vow.</p>
+
+<p>I can tell you the story of Indian missions by relating one incident.
+Some years ago, Rev. Lord Charles Hervey went with me to the Indian
+country. We had delightful services. After the Holy Communion we
+were sitting on the green-sward near a house. The head chief said, "Your
+friend came from across the great water; does he know the Indian's
+history?"
+I said "No." He said "I will tell him."</p>
+
+<p>"Before the white man came, the forests and prairies were full of game,
+the rivers and lakes were full of fish, the wild rice was Manidou gift to
+the
+red man. Would you like to see one of these Indians?" There stepped
+out on the porch an Indian man and woman dressed in furs, ornamented
+with porcupine quills. "There," said the chief, "my people were like
+those before the white man came."</p>
+
+<p>"Shall I tell you what the white man did for us? He came and told
+
+us we had no fire horses, no fire canoes, no houses. He said if we would
+sell him our land, he would make us like white men. Shall I tell you what
+he did? No, you had better see it." The door opened, and out stepped
+a poor, degraded looking Indian, his face besmeared with mud, his
+blanket in rags, no leggins, and by his side a poor, wretched looking woman
+in a torn calico dress. The chief raised his hands and said, "Manido
+Manido, is this an Indian?" The man bowed his head. "How came
+this?" The Indian held up a black bottle and said, "This was the white
+man's gift." Some of us bowed our heads in shame.</p>
+
+<p>Said the chief, "If this were all, I would not have told you. Long
+years ago a pale-faced man came to our country. He spoke kindly, and
+seemed to want to help us, but our hearts were hard. We hated the white
+man and would not listen. Every summer when the sun was so high, he
+came. We always looked to see his tall form coming through the forest.
+One year I said to my fellows, 'what does this man come for? He does
+not trade with us, he never asks anything of us. Perhaps the Great Spirit
+sent him.' We stopped to listen. Some of us have that story in our
+hearts. Shall I tell you what it has done for us?" The door opened and
+out stepped a young man&mdash;a clergyman&mdash;in a black frock coat, and by his
+side a woman neatly dressed in a black alpaca dress. Said the chief,
+"There is only one religion in the world which can lift a man out of the
+mire and tell him to call God 'Father,' and that is the religion of Jesus
+Christ."</p>
+
+<p>We have had many deferred hopes, and sometimes it has been dark as
+midnight. After nearly three years of hard work, I had both of my Indian
+missions destroyed, church and mission house burned, and our western border
+for three hundred miles desolated by an Indian massacre, which destroyed
+the fairest portion of our State, and left eight hundred of our
+citizens sleeping in nameless graves. It was needed to teach us that
+nations
+as well as individuals reap exactly what they sow. We began again.
+Here and there some Indian would listen, and the gospel was the same to
+him as to us. One day an Indian came to our missionary and said, "I
+know this religion is true. The men who have walked in this new trail
+are better and happier. But I have always been a warrior, and my hands
+are full of blood. Could I be a Christian?" The missionary repeated the
+story of God's love. To test the man he said, "May I cut your hair?" The
+Indian wears his scalp lock for his enemy&mdash;when it is cut it is a sign he
+will never go on the war-path again. The man said, "Yes, you may cut it;
+I shall throw my old life away." It was cut. He started for home and
+met some wild Indians who shouted with laughter, and with taunts said:
+"Yesterday you were a warrior, to-day you are a squaw." It stung the
+man to madness, and he rushed to his home and threw himself on the floor
+and burst into tears. His wife was a Christian, and came and put her
+arms about his neck and said: "Yesterday there was not a man in the
+
+world who dared call you a coward. Can't you be as brave for Him who
+died for you as you were to kill the Sioux?" He sprang to his feet and
+said, "I can and I will." I have known many brave, fearless servants of
+Christ, but I never knew one braver than this chief who is now in Paradise.</p>
+
+<p>I wish I could take you to a Christian Indian's home. You might see
+nothing but a plain log house, and you might wonder why the tears came
+in my eyes as he said to me, "That is my daughter's room; the boys sleep
+up stairs; this is for me and my wife." They are tears of joy, for I knew
+them when they herded as swine, in a wigwam. It is the religion of Christ
+which has brought respect for womanhood.</p>
+
+<p>I want to take you far away in the forest to Red Lake. The head chief,
+Mah-dwah-go-no-wind, was a remarkable man as a wild man, true, honest
+and brave. He came and asked me to give him a missionary. I loved
+him and we were warm friends. I said "I cannot give you a missionary for
+the American Missionary Association has a missionary now in that field."
+The chief came again and again to see me. He said: "I want your religion.
+If you refuse I will ask the Roman Catholics." I wrote Rev. Dr.
+Strieby, and told him the situation. I said "The field is in my diocese.
+I have the right to send a missionary there, but ask your consent because I
+will never be a party to present Christian divisions to heathen men."
+After due deliberation, the Association consented. I am happy to tell
+you that that old chief and nearly all the adults of his band
+are faithful communicants. At my last visit, the chief came to
+me and said, "My Father, since you were here, my old wife with
+whom I have lived fifty years, has gone to sleep in the grave. I shall go
+to
+lie by her side. I have heard that white Christians bless the place where
+they sleep as belonging to God. Will you bless the place where my wife
+sleeps and ask God to care for it until he calls his children out of the
+grave?" We formed a procession of the Indians, the clergy and the old
+chief and myself, and marched around the place singing in Ojibway, "Jesus
+lover of my soul"; then I read appropriate scripture, made an address
+and offered prayer, and asked blessing on this "acre of God." After the
+service the chief said: "I thank you for telling me I have a Saviour. I
+thank you for blessing the place where my wife sleeps. I have your face
+on my heart. Good bye."</p>
+
+<p>I could keep you longer than I ought telling you of the lights and shadows
+of missionary life. The North American Indian is the noblest type of
+a wild man on the earth. He recognizes a Great Spirit, he loves his home,
+he is passionately devoted to his people, and believes in a future life.
+The
+Ojibway language is a marvel. The verb has inflections by thousands. If
+an Indian says "I love" and stops, you can tell by the inflection of the
+verb whether he loves an animate or inanimate object, a man or a woman.
+The nicest shade of meaning in St. Paul's Epistles could be conveyed in
+Ojibway, and I have heard a missionary say, "A classic Greek temple
+standing
+
+in the forest would not be more marvelous than this wonderful language."</p>
+
+<p>The Indians are heathen folk and will often come to the Christian life
+fettered by old heathen ideas, and some may stumble and fall; they did in
+St. Paul's time; but I can say that some of the noblest instances of the
+power of religion I have ever known have been among these poor red men.
+I can recall death-beds where an Indian looked up in my face and said,
+"The Great Spirit has called me to go on the last journey. I am not
+afraid to go, for Jesus is going with me, and I shall not be lonesome on
+the
+road."</p>
+
+<p>I am happy to tell you that the clouds are breaking. Thousands of this
+poor race are rejoicing in the light of the Gospel. The heart of the nation
+has been touched, and thousands are laboring for their salvation. The
+Indians are not decreasing. It is due to the absence of internecine wars,
+to their protection from dangerous contagious diseases, to better medical
+care and a wiser administration. In the future, Indians must have
+citizenship,
+but not until they are prepared for this precious boon. The ballot
+cannot redeem humanity. I was asked by President Cleveland what I
+thought of making the Indian a voter. I said, "It has been tried." Under
+an old territorial law, any Indian who wore the civilized dress could
+vote. I have heard of an election where a tribe of Indians were put
+through a hickory shirt and pair of pants, and we know how that election
+went. The Indian must have the protection of law. In his wild state he
+has the "lex talionis." He becomes a Christian. A drunken wild man
+kills his cow or insults his wife. He could punish the brute, but we have
+taught him that he must not revenge his wrongs, and so the Christian Indian
+is pitiably helpless. I can take you to an Indian village where property
+and life are safe, where childhood, womanhood, and old age are cared
+for, and it is due to the Gospel of Christ.</p>
+
+<p>While missionary work must be carried on in the native tongue, the
+schools ought to teach the English language&mdash;if schools are conducted only
+in the heathen tongue, you not only have no Christian ideas, but when the
+child has learned to read, he has no books. He should be taught in a
+language which opens to him the literature, the science and the Christian
+teaching of the Christian world. The Gospel of Jesus Christ will do for
+the Indian what it has done for others through all the ages&mdash;give him
+home, manhood and freedom.</p>
+
+<p>Lastly&mdash;we are living in eventful times. One hundred years ago the
+people who spoke the English tongue were less numerous than some of the
+Latin races of Europe. To-day one hundred and fifty millions of people
+speak the English language. When we remember how God made the
+Greek tongue the language of the world to prepare for the first preaching
+of the Gospel of His Son, may we not believe he designs to use our English
+tongue to prepare for the second coming of our Lord?</p>
+
+
+<p>Brethren, we hear a great deal about Indian problems, Negro problems,
+and problems which hinder all work for God and man. When General
+Sherman and other officers of the army were sent out to investigate that
+awful massacre in Colorado, they wrote in their report: "The Indian
+problem,
+like all other human problems, can be solved by one sentence in an
+old book&mdash;'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.'"</p>

+<h2>Letter From Miss Collins.</h2>
+
+
+<p>I went to Oahe to take two girls to school, and was gone eleven days.
+I travelled nearly three hundred miles, driving my ponies myself, and last
+Sabbath held the services for Spotted Bear in the morning, as Mr. Riggs
+was absent; taught a class in the afternoon, and returned to Cheyenne
+agency on Monday, to find that the Indian man who went with me had returned
+home. I visited the Government school there, and witnessed
+Major McChesney issue the annuities to the Indians; found a party of
+Indians coming this way as far as the Itazipco camp on the Moreau; came
+with them so far&mdash;about forty-five miles from here&mdash;and from there Bessie,
+Jumbo (my ponies) and I came on alone. I drove the forty-five miles in
+one day, arriving here at dark.</p>
+
+<p>At Cheyenne a number of fine-looking, well-dressed young Indian men
+came up to me and addressed me in English. I did not recognize some
+of them, and they told me they went to school to me in '75, '76 and '77.
+I remember them as dirty little long-haired, blanket Indians. It made
+my heart strong to take these manly young men by the hand and to hear
+them say, "You were my first teacher."</p>
+
+<p>One night, when I was coming home, we got into camp, and the Indian
+tent had on one side a man and his wife, his son and daughter, and his baby
+twins. On the other side of the fire, another man, wife and child, four
+dogs, two puppies, and back of the fire a man and his wife and two young
+men and myself. When supper was ready, the dogs were put outside, the
+children hushed, and the head man said, "Winona pray." They were all
+strangers to me but two of them, so you may know I was surprised. I
+prayed, and when I finished, all said, "Ho, ho, ho," that is, all the men.
+I
+was
+again surprised at the universal consent or endorsement of the petition. I
+had some rich experiences, many hardships new to me, but I sowed seed
+which I doubt not will spring up. A half-breed Indian, Joe Hodgkiss, and
+his wife, were very kind to me.</p>
+
+<p>When I got in sight of the house here, men stood all along the road
+waiting to shake hands with me. I should not have undertaken the trip,
+but the girls were about fifteen years old, and if they were not in school
+this winter they never would be. I could not see the good material in them
+wasted. Mr. Reed could not go, and he did not want Elias to leave his
+
+school to go. So I hired a team and went. I am glad I did. God meant
+me to get into the homes and hearts of those strangers, and I had no fear
+but that he planned it all.</p>

+<h2>Grand View, Tenn.</h2>
+
+
+<p>A teacher writes: "Doubtless you have learned how full our school is.
+We all feel that we <span class="hi" style="font-style: italic;">must</span> do something in some way to have more
+buildings.
+Several were obliged to go away last week, being unable to
+secure boarding-places.
+The dormitory is more than full. There are sixteen boys in four
+small rooms; three boys occupy one end of the old store house near the
+railroad. This warm weather is certainly favorable for them. Twenty
+new pupils came one day. Others are expected to-morrow. Where shall
+we put them? Nine in the main room are now without seats; chairs
+were placed in the aisle. In the primary room it is just as full, forty-two
+being crowded into space intended for thirty-two."</p>
+
+<p>Another: "We are blessed with a deep religious awakening, which has
+reached many of the students."</p>

+<p>Miss D.E. Emerson, Secretary.</p>
+
+<a name="toc_15"></a>
+
+<p>In reading our list of Missionaries and Mission Stations, ladies will
+recognize many familiar names of those in whom they have become
+particularly interested through contributions to the work.</p>
+
+<p>Maine ladies will find their four teachers for whose support they have
+become responsible.</p>
+
+<p>Vermont ladies will look at the McIntosh School with a sense of
+proprietorship, and rejoice in its enlargement.</p>
+
+<p>Massachusetts and Rhode Island may find their four teachers sustained
+by the Woman's Home Missionary Association, and many Massachusetts
+ladies who have been especially interested in the school at Tougaloo may
+rejoice to be connected with such an institution.</p>
+
+<p>Connecticut ladies have done much for their school at Thomasville,
+Ga., although not as largely through their State Union. This school was
+begun through the liberality of a Connecticut lady, and for its continuance
+and development this Association depends upon the Bureau of Woman's
+Work. Contributions from all sources are solicited.</p>
+
+<p>The New York Union abides by its principles to increase its contribution
+each year, and in addition to the support of three missionaries,
+pledges six hundred dollars to the general work.</p>
+
+
+<p>The Ohio Union comes forward also with an appropriation to the
+general work, additional to the support of four missionaries.</p>
+
+<p>The Illinois Union continues its support to two missionaries, and hopes
+for a third during the year.</p>
+
+<p>If the ladies of Michigan will look at the Athens, Ala., Trinity School
+in our list, they will see their own State represented there, an incentive,
+we
+trust, to special effort toward the sum recommended by the officers of
+their
+Union.</p>
+
+<p>The ladies of Minnesota have the opportunity to aid the school at
+Jonesboro, Tennessee, and if they carry out the recommendation of their
+Minnesota Missionary Society, they will this year sustain in full the two
+lady teachers.</p>
+
+<p>The other Missionary Unions represented in our list have shown especial
+interest, and nearly all have made such pledge of help as will soon secure
+them a special representative in the field.</p>
+
+<p>A Children's Missionary is sustained by ladies and children, and special
+work is also assigned to Christian Endeavor Societies.</p>
+
+<br />
+
+<p>Thus it will be seen that the long list of Ladies' Societies shown each
+month as co-operating with us, is not merely in name. We really have
+their help, and a careful reading of our list of missionaries will make
+clear
+that we not only need their help, but can give them much more to do.</p>
+
+<p>A lady recently brought to us five hundred dollars as the result of her
+personal effort, and when we expressed to her our thanks she exclaimed,
+"Don't say a word; it is <span class="hi" style="font-style: italic;">my</span> work as well as yours." Let us be
+workers
+together.</p>
+
+<p>In sending your money to your State officers, do not fail to designate
+it as for the <span class="hi" style="font-style: italic;">American Missionary Association</span>.</p>

+
+<p>The Way One Mission Band in Iowa raised its money&mdash;"Our society
+was organized in 1888, and the first year we sent twenty dollars for Beach
+Institute. We have about twenty members, from five to thirteen years of
+age. We meet once a month through the summer, but close for the winter.
+Last summer I gave to all over ten years of age a nickel, and those
+under ten a penny to see how much they could gain. These are a few of
+the reports. One little boy with his nickel bought a sitting of eggs from
+which he raised eleven chickens, which he sold for two dollars and twenty
+cents. Another raised nine chickens which he sold for two dollars.
+Another bought a little turkey, which he sold at Thanksgiving for a dollar
+and ten cents. Another with a penny bought a squash vine, from which
+he sold five large squashes for fifty-five cents. Another bought a row of
+potatoes for which he received fifty cents, and so the pennies multiplied.
+I gave mite-boxes to all in the spring, and so at the end of the year we
+are
+able again to send you the neat little sum of twenty-five dollars."</p>

+Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions
+will be renamed.
+
+Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no
+one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation
+(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without
+permission and without paying copyright royalties.  Special rules,
+set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to
+copying and distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works to
+protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm concept and trademark.  Project
+Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if you
+charge for the eBooks, unless you receive specific permission.  If you
+do not charge anything for copies of this eBook, complying with the
+rules is very easy.  You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose
+such as creation of derivative works, reports, performances and
+research.  They may be modified and printed and given away--you may do
+practically ANYTHING with public domain eBooks.  Redistribution is
+subject to the trademark license, especially commercial
+redistribution.

+*** START: FULL LICENSE ***
+
+THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE
+PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
+distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at
+https://gutenberg.org/license).
+
+
+Section 1.  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.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  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.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.8.  You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  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.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  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.
+
+
+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.

+
+OUR MISSIONS AND MISSIONARIES.
+
+
+It is our custom to publish in the second issue of the Magazine for each
+year a catalogue of the churches, institutions and schools into which we
+place the offerings devoted by those who send them, to the great work of
+the American Missionary Association.
+
+If our readers will look carefully at this, and preserve it for future
+reference, they will come into sympathy more easily and truly with those
+who have gone from our Christian homes and churches in the name of
+Christ and for his sake.
+
+These pages of names and places represent many things:
+
+_First._--_The work._ Our missionaries are among four races, the white,
+the black, the red and the yellow. These are children of a common
+Father; they are under the dominion of a common sinfulness; they are the
+possible heirs of a common Saviour. We go to them with the same gospel,
+which is able to save them to the same fellowship of faith and love on
+earth and to the same heaven.
+
+_Secondly._--_The missionaries and the characteristics of their work._
+There are represented in this list, teachers of theology, teachers of
+language, of history, of philosophy and of science. There are teachers
+of "common branches" and "higher branches." There are teachers of
+industries for men and women, house-makers and home-makers. There are
+preachers to organized churches and preachers at large whose work is to
+gather churches. They are all alike missionaries.
+
+Notice, also, what a large proportion of our missionary work is being
+done by Christian women. Well did Secretary Hiatt say, "The history of
+this Association is a grand and splendid eulogy of woman." "Our sisters
+who went South while the sky was yet heavy with the clouds of war from
+the homes of refinement and culture and religion," are many of them
+remaining until now, and they are continually re-enforced from our best
+institutions of learning in the East and in the West. There is a common
+fidelity on the shores of the Gulf, in the mountains of the South and
+among the tribes of the plains. These men and women in our churches and
+schools who have given themselves in consecration and sacrifice to this
+service are leading those who have been crushed by oppressions and
+wrongs of men, and who have been degraded in ignorance and in sin, to
+rise into a new life, and into new habits of thought and feeling.
+
+They are working to rescue millions from the woful inheritances of the
+pitiless centuries. They are teaching those who are to be the teachers
+of their people. They are preparing those who shall lead their own
+peoples. It is not a work of a score of years, nor of half a century. It
+is a part of the work of Christianity, whatever time it may take, and we
+ask those who pray "_Thy kingdom come_" to remember these missionary
+teachers and preachers before God that they may be of good courage,
+faithful and patient in their ministering.
+
+_Thirdly._--_These pages represent also the faith and sacrifices of
+Christians by which this service of Jesus Christ goes on._ Brethren and
+sisters, you who contribute to this work, read in these names assurances
+to gladden your hearts and cheer your faith. See what solid regiments of
+the Master's army are in the land where slavery has perished, but where
+the problems which follow it are larger than ever before. Look up the
+locations of these missionaries on the map, and see where they are, in
+the valleys and on the mountains of the South, in plains of the far
+West, and on the shores of the Pacific sea. They report cheering
+tidings. Their schools are overflowing. Converts are being added to
+their churches. Our institutions are in harmony and zealous emulation.
+The year has opened auspiciously, "And the best of all is, God is with
+us."
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+The Rev. Frank E. Jenkins, who succeeded the Rev. C.J. Ryder as a Field
+Superintendent, and who has served the Association since that time with
+an untiring devotion and with signal ability, has at his own urgent
+request been transferred from this general work to a specific part of
+the field.
+
+He has accepted the pastorate of the Congregational Church of New
+Decatur, Ala., with which we are in co-operation. Our consent to this
+change would have been the more reluctant but for the fact that we are
+in heartiest sympathy with the missionary purposes contemplated in this
+exchange of service.
+
+We congratulate the New Decatur church upon its entrance into its
+tasteful edifice--recently dedicated,--with a pastor whom we relinquish
+from the relationships of Field Superintendent only upon his own
+repeated convictions of duty, and in view of his preference for this
+particular work.
+
+SOUTHERN NOTES.
+
+BY SECRETARY A.F. BEARD.
+
+
+The "sleeper" had been transformed into a parlor car, which was used
+that day chiefly by the colored porter and myself. The "paper-boy" came
+through and offered me a New York _Illustrated Weekly_, adorned on the
+first page with the portrait of Jefferson Davis, for whom the South was
+then mourning with great abundance of white and black cotton cloth.
+
+After I had declined with thanks to invest in this picture, I turned to
+the colored porter who was travelling in the white man's car in apparent
+"social equality" and casually remarked, "Your people should feel very
+grateful to Jefferson Davis for what he did for you. You ought to have
+that picture." With a surprise that he could not conceal, he intimated
+that he did not understand me. He "didn't care for it," and "didn't know
+what Jeff Davis had done for his people."
+
+Time being at some discount, I undertook to tell him that "Jefferson
+Davis did more than any other person to take the South out of the Union.
+He was chief among the secessionists. Then, as President, he made so
+many mistakes, he did more than any other man to prevent the success of
+the Confederacy. He did more to bring about the freedom of the slave
+than any other man. Since the emancipation of your race came on as a
+consequence of secession, why should you not be grateful to Jefferson
+Davis and cherish his memory?"
+
+The black man by this time had gathered himself up for his reply to my
+Q.E.D. Not knowing what my sympathies might be, he replied in a slow and
+careful way, "Well, sir, I can't see it as you do. The way it looks to
+me is this, you know. In these days there are a good many people who
+don't believe in God--not much--but I reckon it was God who set my
+people free. You see, he didn't want that condition of things any
+longer. It was God who did it, sir, that's what I think, and I don't
+believe it was Jeff Davis. That's my view."
+
+I did not argue the question further. When one gets down solid upon the
+decrees, then I stop. But as the car rolled along with the speed usual
+on Southern railways, I pondered the text, "The wrath of man shall
+praise Him, and the remainder thereof shall he restrain."
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+He was a colored porter, and I may have transgressed the laws of "social
+equality" in asking him aught other than to make up the berth, and to
+call me early. With the judgment resting upon Geo. W. Cable--who is
+never to be forgotten or forgiven because he had conference with some
+colored people in Nashville, and did not insult them--one should be very
+careful of his social equality. Nevertheless, I ventured to talk with
+this colored porter. I asked him what he knew about his race, and what
+he thought of his people and their prospects.
+
+He said, "I was raised in North Carolina, never had much chance myself,
+had only a country school to go to--kept by a colored man--not very good
+teacher--pretty good--better than none. But there's good many good
+schools now, and good many smart colored people by this time, sir.
+There's a good many risin' all the time. Old Fred. Douglass is a right
+smart man, you know; but then he sort o' left his race when he married a
+white woman. We don't think so much of him as a leader as we used to."
+
+The car rolled on. It was two hours late at my station. The bus man who
+stood in the stage door and collected the fares was conversational. He
+was unaware that by my ride and conversation in the car, I had forfeited
+my "social equality" with him. Hence he did not ostracise me; but
+smiling, said, "Train very late to-day, sir." "Isn't it usually as late
+as this?" I asked. "Invariably, sir, except when it's later."

+
+PARAGRAPHS.
+
+
+Dr. Rankin, the newly-elected President of Howard University, writes:
+
+"Everything at the University begins very promisingly. We had a crowded
+preaching service on Sunday night, and are observing the week of prayer
+at 12:30 noon. The meetings are full and impressive."
+
+"If a donor should give a great material gift to the University, I am
+sure I ought to write you. But the great Giver is giving us the choicest
+of spiritual gifts. Eight of the students, one of them a senior, this
+noon expressed a desire for prayers. We continue the daily meeting at
+noon."
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+The immigration into the United States is steadily declining, as appears
+by the figures reported in the papers, while the blending of the
+foreigners here is steadily and rapidly going forward, rendering them
+speedily one people. On the other hand, the colored population in the
+Southern States is steadily augmenting, while the alienation between the
+black and white races in the South is becoming more pronounced. The
+Southern problem is the more difficult of solution.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+A clergyman in a Southern town who is connected with families of great
+influence, and who ministers to a large white church, is accustomed to
+preach every afternoon in a colored church under the care of this
+Association. He usually repeats to the colored church the sermon
+preached in the forenoon to his own people, and finds that those who
+hear it in the afternoon appreciate it fully. The two remarkable facts
+in this incident are that the gentleman should consent to do this
+gratuitous labor for the colored church, and that the colored church
+should understand and appreciate the sermon prepared for the cultured
+white congregation.

+
+A BEAUTIFUL GIFT.
+
+
+Mr. Silas M. Rideout, of Cumberland, Maine, has presented to the
+American Missionary Association, through the Boston office, a most
+beautiful box for keepsakes. It is about 6 inches in width, 9 in length
+and 4 in depth, made of inlaid woods of different colors very tastefully
+arranged, "American Missionary" being set in the cover. The inside is
+lined with plush. On a card in the box the following was written by a
+friend: "This box was presented to the American Missionary Association
+by a good man living in a small town in Maine, who, like that good
+fisherman of whom we have heard, gives such as he had. This dear brother
+of _four-score_ and _two years_, made this box and presented it to the
+American Missionary Association, with its contents $10.25, which was
+contributed by such of his friends as desired to have a look at the
+skill of their aged brother in his work of love for the cause of
+Christ." It was intended by our venerable friend that this box should
+draw other contributions and finally be sold, the proceeds to be devoted
+to the work of the American Missionary Association in which Mr. Rideout
+has been so deeply interested for many years. A gentleman in Boston
+offers $12 for the box. Will not some one make a better offer, and in
+this way recognize the remarkable skill of this aged friend in his
+effort to increase the income of the Association to help the needy
+millions among whom our missionaries labor?
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+THE SOUTHERN SITUATION.
+
+SOME SUGGESTIVE FACTS.
+
+
+_First Fact._ The condition of the colored man In the South is becoming
+more pitiable and precarious. Mr. Grady, in his last speech, announced
+the unalterable purpose of the Southern whites never to submit to Negro
+rule, and we read not long since of a "quiet election" held in a
+Southern city, because the colored people, duly warned, kept away from
+the polls. We know something, also, of the struggles of that people
+against almost insuperable difficulties in trying to obtain food, homes
+and education. In addition to all this, the public press keeps us
+informed with sad frequency of the repeated murders inflicted upon the
+defenceless colored people.
+
+_Second Fact._ We learn with gratification that Southern people of high
+standing denounce these outrages. Governor Richardson, of South
+Carolina, assured a colored delegation that called upon him, that he had
+offered a reward for the apprehension of the Barnwell murderers, and
+pledged his sacred word that nothing would be undone on his part to
+bring the lynchers to condign punishment. Senator Wade Hampton is said
+to have endorsed the sentiments of the Governor, and leading Southern
+papers have censured in unmeasured terms this outrage.
+
+But as yet these murderers have not been arrested, and we presume that
+no one expects they will be. The murderers of Mr. Clayton, of Arkansas,
+who presumed to run as an independent candidate for Congress, were
+denounced by the authorities of the State, and rewards were offered for
+their apprehension. But, though many months have elapsed, they have not
+been arrested, and no one, North or South, imagines that they will be
+punished. Kind words from Southern officials will not solve the great
+problem.
+
+_Third Fact._ The colored people bear up well under all these trying
+circumstances. We should suppose they would be utterly discouraged, for
+they see little prospect of securing their rights as men and citizens,
+and even life and property are not safe. They are allured to a change of
+location by flaming handbills, making tempting but deceptive offers of
+better wages and better homes. They are hunted down and massacred, and
+yet their wrongs are unredressed.
+
+But in spite of all this, they struggle on, constantly gaining property
+and homes, some of them acquiring wealth. If they are deceived on
+reaching some new Eldorado, losing their all in making the change, they
+do not give up, but strike in again. If they are not safe in some rural
+districts, they go to the cities. But best of all, their educated men
+are showing great wisdom and moderation, as witness the calm and
+dispassionate action of the Convention of the most intelligent and
+influential colored men in Charleston, S.C., after the Barnwell
+massacre. They passed resolutions of dignified condemnation of the
+wrong, yet urged their people to remain quiet, and let the proper
+authorities vindicate the law. The forbearance of that meeting has won
+the commendations of leading white men in the South.
+
+And here let us say, that the white people of the South make no greater
+mistake, than when they imagine that it is a dangerous thing to educate
+the colored people. On the contrary, we believe that the facts make it
+manifest that it is by these educated men that their race will be guided
+wisely and safely through this great crisis, and that if a war of races
+is to be avoided, these educated colored men will be a grand factor in
+averting it.
+
+_Fourth Fact._ It is conceded by all right-thinking people, that the
+education of the colored race is the only true solution of the Southern
+problem. This has been declared in Presidential messages, in the
+utterances of such candid men as Dr. Curry, Dr. Haygood and Colonel
+Keating, by writers in all the Northern religious papers, and is, we
+believe, the accepted and settled opinion of Christian people at the
+North. Everybody admits, also, that there is a crisis coming, and that
+what is done for Negro education must be done quickly. The North has a
+duty in this matter, and admits it. Our constituents have a special duty
+in the case, and they feel it. They have done nobly in the past, and
+have assumed great responsibilities which cannot now be neglected or
+deferred. But here is the strangest of all the facts in this series:
+With the urgency before them, _our constituents do not make a
+corresponding increase in their donations_.
+
+We feel impelled to urge this upon the attention of pastors, churches
+and individuals. Brethren and friends, do not delay as in the case of
+slavery, till the conflict comes! Do not expect that everybody else is
+doing what is needed. The responsibility is personal and pressing, and
+each individual and church can meet it only by making larger gifts--not
+from an impulse, but from a deliberate purpose formed under a sense of
+obligation to the Negro, the Nation and to Christ.
+

+
+REV. W.W. PATTON, D.D., LL.D.
+
+
+The sudden and unexpected death of Dr. Patton takes away a man who has
+made a shining mark in the various relations of pastor, secretary,
+editor and president of a university. All these responsible positions he
+has filled with great fidelity and success. It becomes us to speak
+especially of his relations to this Association, which have been
+intimate and special. He was one of the few men present at the formation
+of the American Missionary Association in Albany in 1846, encountering
+the obloquy and ostracism which was then attached to those who favored
+the new movement. In 1868 he became the Western Corresponding Secretary
+of the Association in Chicago, and held this position for about two
+years. In 1877 he accepted the Presidency of Howard University in
+Washington, D.C., the theological department of which is under the care
+of the Association, and in which Dr. Patton was a teacher. Thus from the
+founding of the Association till the time of his death, Dr. Patton had
+been connected with it, sometimes officially, and always with deep
+sympathy and earnest co-operation.
+
+He was in usual health, with his wonted vigor of body and mind, till
+within a few hours of his death, and on the day on which that occurred,
+his Presidency of Howard University expired by the terms of his
+resignation. He seemed to be fitted for further usefulness, and had
+looked forward with the expectation of using his pen and voice in the
+interests of the Master whom he had so faithfully served, but the scene
+of his active enjoyment and services was by that Master transferred to
+the higher realm.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+REVIVAL AT STRAIGHT UNIVERSITY.
+
+
+President Hitchcock writes from Straight University: "Our meetings
+during the 'week of prayer,' took on the character of revival meetings,
+and I have never before seen the school so stirred. Every girl boarding
+in Stone Hall is professedly converted, and there are not more than
+eight or ten boys who are not in the same good way, and every one of
+these is interested and has asked for prayers. Rejoice with us and pray
+for us."

+THE INDIAN.
+
+_Address at the Annual Meeting in Chicago_,
+
+BY RT. REV. H.B. WHIPPLE.
+
+
+I accepted the kind invitation of my good brother, Rev. Dr. Strieby, to
+address you, because I do believe that if the hedges which have been
+builded in the garden of the Lord are ever taken away, it will be by
+hearty, believing work for our Saviour. The history of the North
+American Indians is a sad story of wrongs. You may begin far back in the
+days of our Puritan fathers, when Christian men marched to the music of
+a fife and drum, with the head of King Philip on a pole, and then after
+prayer, decided that the sins of the father ought to be visited on the
+children, and therefore sold his son as a slave to Bermuda; and you may
+follow down to where the saintly Worcester, a Congregational missionary,
+was tried, sentenced, and went to the Penitentiary in Georgia for
+teaching Indians to read; and so on to where a Moravian church of
+Christian Indians were cruelly tortured and murdered; and so on to the
+last of our Indian wars, and it is a dark story of robbery and
+wrongs--we have spent five hundred millions on Indian wars, and have
+killed ten of our own people to every one killed of the Indians. Thank
+God that by the efforts of Christian men, the heart of the Nation has
+been touched, and to-day willing hands and hearts are laboring for their
+Christian civilization.
+
+When I went to my diocese thirty years ago, there were over twenty
+thousand Indians in Minnesota. They had sunk to a depth of degradation
+their heathen fathers had not known. Friends told me it was hopeless,
+that they were a perishing race. I said if they are perishing, the more
+reason to make haste to give to them the gospel. The picture was dark,
+but not darker than that drawn by the pen of divine Inspiration in the
+first chapter of Romans. I carried it where I have learned to take all
+which troubles me, and at my blessed Saviour's feet I promised I would
+never turn my back on the Indian whom God had placed at my door, and I
+have tried to keep the vow.
+
+I can tell you the story of Indian missions by relating one incident.
+Some years ago, Rev. Lord Charles Hervey went with me to the Indian
+country. We had delightful services. After the Holy Communion we were
+sitting on the green-sward near a house. The head chief said, "Your
+friend came from across the great water; does he know the Indian's
+history?" I said "No." He said "I will tell him."
+
+"Before the white man came, the forests and prairies were full of game,
+the rivers and lakes were full of fish, the wild rice was Manidou gift
+to the red man. Would you like to see one of these Indians?" There
+stepped out on the porch an Indian man and woman dressed in furs,
+ornamented with porcupine quills. "There," said the chief, "my people
+were like those before the white man came."
+
+"Shall I tell you what the white man did for us? He came and told us we
+had no fire horses, no fire canoes, no houses. He said if we would sell
+him our land, he would make us like white men. Shall I tell you what he
+did? No, you had better see it." The door opened, and out stepped a
+poor, degraded looking Indian, his face besmeared with mud, his blanket
+in rags, no leggins, and by his side a poor, wretched looking woman in a
+torn calico dress. The chief raised his hands and said, "Manido Manido,
+is this an Indian?" The man bowed his head. "How came this?" The Indian
+held up a black bottle and said, "This was the white man's gift." Some
+of us bowed our heads in shame.
+
+Said the chief, "If this were all, I would not have told you. Long years
+ago a pale-faced man came to our country. He spoke kindly, and seemed to
+want to help us, but our hearts were hard. We hated the white man and
+would not listen. Every summer when the sun was so high, he came. We
+always looked to see his tall form coming through the forest. One year I
+said to my fellows, 'what does this man come for? He does not trade with
+us, he never asks anything of us. Perhaps the Great Spirit sent him.' We
+stopped to listen. Some of us have that story in our hearts. Shall I
+tell you what it has done for us?" The door opened and out stepped a
+young man--a clergyman--in a black frock coat, and by his side a woman
+neatly dressed in a black alpaca dress. Said the chief, "There is only
+one religion in the world which can lift a man out of the mire and tell
+him to call God 'Father,' and that is the religion of Jesus Christ."
+
+We have had many deferred hopes, and sometimes it has been dark as
+midnight. After nearly three years of hard work, I had both of my Indian
+missions destroyed, church and mission house burned, and our western
+border for three hundred miles desolated by an Indian massacre, which
+destroyed the fairest portion of our State, and left eight hundred of
+our citizens sleeping in nameless graves. It was needed to teach us that
+nations as well as individuals reap exactly what they sow. We began
+again. Here and there some Indian would listen, and the gospel was the
+same to him as to us. One day an Indian came to our missionary and said,
+"I know this religion is true. The men who have walked in this new trail
+are better and happier. But I have always been a warrior, and my hands
+are full of blood. Could I be a Christian?" The missionary repeated the
+story of God's love. To test the man he said, "May I cut your hair?" The
+Indian wears his scalp lock for his enemy--when it is cut it is a sign
+he will never go on the war-path again. The man said, "Yes, you may cut
+it; I shall throw my old life away." It was cut. He started for home and
+met some wild Indians who shouted with laughter, and with taunts said:
+"Yesterday you were a warrior, to-day you are a squaw." It stung the man
+to madness, and he rushed to his home and threw himself on the floor and
+burst into tears. His wife was a Christian, and came and put her arms
+about his neck and said: "Yesterday there was not a man in the world
+who dared call you a coward. Can't you be as brave for Him who died for
+you as you were to kill the Sioux?" He sprang to his feet and said, "I
+can and I will." I have known many brave, fearless servants of Christ,
+but I never knew one braver than this chief who is now in Paradise.
+
+I wish I could take you to a Christian Indian's home. You might see
+nothing but a plain log house, and you might wonder why the tears came
+in my eyes as he said to me, "That is my daughter's room; the boys sleep
+up stairs; this is for me and my wife." They are tears of joy, for I
+knew them when they herded as swine, in a wigwam. It is the religion of
+Christ which has brought respect for womanhood.
+
+I want to take you far away in the forest to Red Lake. The head chief,
+Mah-dwah-go-no-wind, was a remarkable man as a wild man, true, honest
+and brave. He came and asked me to give him a missionary. I loved him
+and we were warm friends. I said "I cannot give you a missionary for the
+American Missionary Association has a missionary now in that field." The
+chief came again and again to see me. He said: "I want your religion. If
+you refuse I will ask the Roman Catholics." I wrote Rev. Dr. Strieby,
+and told him the situation. I said "The field is in my diocese. I have
+the right to send a missionary there, but ask your consent because I
+will never be a party to present Christian divisions to heathen men."
+After due deliberation, the Association consented. I am happy to tell
+you that that old chief and nearly all the adults of his band are
+faithful communicants. At my last visit, the chief came to me and said,
+"My Father, since you were here, my old wife with whom I have lived
+fifty years, has gone to sleep in the grave. I shall go to lie by her
+side. I have heard that white Christians bless the place where they
+sleep as belonging to God. Will you bless the place where my wife sleeps
+and ask God to care for it until he calls his children out of the
+grave?" We formed a procession of the Indians, the clergy and the old
+chief and myself, and marched around the place singing in Ojibway,
+"Jesus lover of my soul"; then I read appropriate scripture, made an
+address and offered prayer, and asked blessing on this "acre of God."
+After the service the chief said: "I thank you for telling me I have a
+Saviour. I thank you for blessing the place where my wife sleeps. I have
+your face on my heart. Good bye."
+
+I could keep you longer than I ought telling you of the lights and
+shadows of missionary life. The North American Indian is the noblest
+type of a wild man on the earth. He recognizes a Great Spirit, he loves
+his home, he is passionately devoted to his people, and believes in a
+future life. The Ojibway language is a marvel. The verb has inflections
+by thousands. If an Indian says "I love" and stops, you can tell by the
+inflection of the verb whether he loves an animate or inanimate object,
+a man or a woman. The nicest shade of meaning in St. Paul's Epistles
+could be conveyed in Ojibway, and I have heard a missionary say, "A
+classic Greek temple standing in the forest would not be more marvelous
+than this wonderful language."
+
+The Indians are heathen folk and will often come to the Christian life
+fettered by old heathen ideas, and some may stumble and fall; they did
+in St. Paul's time; but I can say that some of the noblest instances of
+the power of religion I have ever known have been among these poor red
+men. I can recall death-beds where an Indian looked up in my face and
+said, "The Great Spirit has called me to go on the last journey. I am
+not afraid to go, for Jesus is going with me, and I shall not be
+lonesome on the road."
+
+I am happy to tell you that the clouds are breaking. Thousands of this
+poor race are rejoicing in the light of the Gospel. The heart of the
+nation has been touched, and thousands are laboring for their salvation.
+The Indians are not decreasing. It is due to the absence of internecine
+wars, to their protection from dangerous contagious diseases, to better
+medical care and a wiser administration. In the future, Indians must
+have citizenship, but not until they are prepared for this precious
+boon. The ballot cannot redeem humanity. I was asked by President
+Cleveland what I thought of making the Indian a voter. I said, "It has
+been tried." Under an old territorial law, any Indian who wore the
+civilized dress could vote. I have heard of an election where a tribe of
+Indians were put through a hickory shirt and pair of pants, and we know
+how that election went. The Indian must have the protection of law. In
+his wild state he has the "lex talionis." He becomes a Christian. A
+drunken wild man kills his cow or insults his wife. He could punish the
+brute, but we have taught him that he must not revenge his wrongs, and
+so the Christian Indian is pitiably helpless. I can take you to an
+Indian village where property and life are safe, where childhood,
+womanhood, and old age are cared for, and it is due to the Gospel of
+Christ.
+
+While missionary work must be carried on in the native tongue, the
+schools ought to teach the English language--if schools are conducted
+only in the heathen tongue, you not only have no Christian ideas, but
+when the child has learned to read, he has no books. He should be taught
+in a language which opens to him the literature, the science and the
+Christian teaching of the Christian world. The Gospel of Jesus Christ
+will do for the Indian what it has done for others through all the
+ages--give him home, manhood and freedom.
+
+Lastly--we are living in eventful times. One hundred years ago the
+people who spoke the English tongue were less numerous than some of the
+Latin races of Europe. To-day one hundred and fifty millions of people
+speak the English language. When we remember how God made the Greek
+tongue the language of the world to prepare for the first preaching of
+the Gospel of His Son, may we not believe he designs to use our English
+tongue to prepare for the second coming of our Lord?
+
+Brethren, we hear a great deal about Indian problems, Negro problems,
+and problems which hinder all work for God and man. When General Sherman
+and other officers of the army were sent out to investigate that awful
+massacre in Colorado, they wrote in their report: "The Indian problem,
+like all other human problems, can be solved by one sentence in an old
+book--'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.'"

+Sabbath held the services for Spotted Bear in the morning, as Mr. Riggs
+was absent; taught a class in the afternoon, and returned to Cheyenne
+agency on Monday, to find that the Indian man who went with me had
+returned home. I visited the Government school there, and witnessed
+Major McChesney issue the annuities to the Indians; found a party of
+Indians coming this way as far as the Itazipco camp on the Moreau; came
+with them so far--about forty-five miles from here--and from there
+Bessie, Jumbo (my ponies) and I came on alone. I drove the forty-five
+miles in one day, arriving here at dark.
+
+At Cheyenne a number of fine-looking, well-dressed young Indian men came
+up to me and addressed me in English. I did not recognize some of them,
+and they told me they went to school to me in '75, '76 and '77. I
+remember them as dirty little long-haired, blanket Indians. It made my
+heart strong to take these manly young men by the hand and to hear them
+say, "You were my first teacher."
+
+One night, when I was coming home, we got into camp, and the Indian tent
+had on one side a man and his wife, his son and daughter, and his baby
+twins. On the other side of the fire, another man, wife and child, four
+dogs, two puppies, and back of the fire a man and his wife and two young
+men and myself. When supper was ready, the dogs were put outside, the
+children hushed, and the head man said, "Winona pray." They were all
+strangers to me but two of them, so you may know I was surprised. I
+prayed, and when I finished, all said, "Ho, ho, ho," that is, all the
+men. I was again surprised at the universal consent or endorsement of
+the petition. I had some rich experiences, many hardships new to me, but
+I sowed seed which I doubt not will spring up. A half-breed Indian, Joe
+Hodgkiss, and his wife, were very kind to me.
+
+When I got in sight of the house here, men stood all along the road
+waiting to shake hands with me. I should not have undertaken the trip,
+but the girls were about fifteen years old, and if they were not in
+school this winter they never would be. I could not see the good
+material in them wasted. Mr. Reed could not go, and he did not want
+Elias to leave his school to go. So I hired a team and went. I am glad
+I did. God meant me to get into the homes and hearts of those strangers,
+and I had no fear but that he planned it all.

+
+A teacher writes: "Doubtless you have learned how full our school is. We
+all feel that we _must_ do something in some way to have more buildings.
+Several were obliged to go away last week, being unable to secure
+boarding-places. The dormitory is more than full. There are sixteen boys
+in four small rooms; three boys occupy one end of the old store house
+near the railroad. This warm weather is certainly favorable for them.
+Twenty new pupils came one day. Others are expected to-morrow. Where
+shall we put them? Nine in the main room are now without seats; chairs
+were placed in the aisle. In the primary room it is just as full,
+forty-two being crowded into space intended for thirty-two."
+
+Another: "We are blessed with a deep religious awakening, which has
+reached many of the students."

+BUREAU OF WOMAN'S WORK.
+
+MISS D.E. EMERSON, SECRETARY.
+
+
+In reading our list of Missionaries and Mission Stations, ladies will
+recognize many familiar names of those in whom they have become
+particularly interested through contributions to the work.
+
+Maine ladies will find their four teachers for whose support they have
+become responsible.
+
+Vermont ladies will look at the McIntosh School with a sense of
+proprietorship, and rejoice in its enlargement.
+
+Massachusetts and Rhode Island may find their four teachers sustained by
+the Woman's Home Missionary Association, and many Massachusetts ladies
+who have been especially interested in the school at Tougaloo may
+rejoice to be connected with such an institution.
+
+Connecticut ladies have done much for their school at Thomasville, Ga.,
+although not as largely through their State Union. This school was begun
+through the liberality of a Connecticut lady, and for its continuance
+and development this Association depends upon the Bureau of Woman's
+Work. Contributions from all sources are solicited.
+
+The New York Union abides by its principles to increase its contribution
+each year, and in addition to the support of three missionaries, pledges
+six hundred dollars to the general work.
+
+The Ohio Union comes forward also with an appropriation to the general
+work, additional to the support of four missionaries.
+
+The Illinois Union continues its support to two missionaries, and hopes
+for a third during the year.
+
+If the ladies of Michigan will look at the Athens, Ala., Trinity School
+in our list, they will see their own State represented there, an
+incentive, we trust, to special effort toward the sum recommended by the
+officers of their Union.
+
+The ladies of Minnesota have the opportunity to aid the school at
+Jonesboro, Tennessee, and if they carry out the recommendation of their
+Minnesota Missionary Society, they will this year sustain in full the
+two lady teachers.
+
+The other Missionary Unions represented in our list have shown especial
+interest, and nearly all have made such pledge of help as will soon
+secure them a special representative in the field.
+
+A Children's Missionary is sustained by ladies and children, and special
+work is also assigned to Christian Endeavor Societies.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+Thus it will be seen that the long list of Ladies' Societies shown each
+month as co-operating with us, is not merely in name. We really have
+their help, and a careful reading of our list of missionaries will make
+clear that we not only need their help, but can give them much more to
+do.
+
+A lady recently brought to us five hundred dollars as the result of her
+personal effort, and when we expressed to her our thanks she exclaimed,
+"Don't say a word; it is _my_ work as well as yours." Let us be workers
+together.
+
+In sending your money to your State officers, do not fail to designate
+it as for the _American Missionary Association_.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+The Way One Mission Band in Iowa raised its money--"Our society was
+organized in 1888, and the first year we sent twenty dollars for Beach
+Institute. We have about twenty members, from five to thirteen years of
+age. We meet once a month through the summer, but close for the winter.
+Last summer I gave to all over ten years of age a nickel, and those
+under ten a penny to see how much they could gain. These are a few of
+the reports. One little boy with his nickel bought a sitting of eggs
+from which he raised eleven chickens, which he sold for two dollars and
+twenty cents. Another raised nine chickens which he sold for two
+dollars. Another bought a little turkey, which he sold at Thanksgiving
+for a dollar and ten cents. Another with a penny bought a squash vine,
+from which he sold five large squashes for fifty-five cents. Another
+bought a row of potatoes for which he received fifty cents, and so the
+pennies multiplied. I gave mite-boxes to all in the spring, and so at
+the end of the year we are able again to send you the neat little sum of
+twenty-five dollars."

+THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE
+PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
+distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at

+
+
+Section 1.  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

+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

+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.
+
+
+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.
