NO. 2. + + * * * * * + +American Missionary Association. + + * * * * * + +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 FIELD. + +1889-1890. + + +The following list presents the names and post-office addresses of those +who are employed in the Churches, Institutions and Schools aided by the +American Missionary Association. + + +THE SOUTH. + + * * * * * + +WASHINGTON, D.C. + +THEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT, HOWARD UNIVERSITY. + +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." + + * * * * * + +WOMAN'S STATE ORGANIZATIONS. + +CO-OPERATING WITH THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION. + + +MAINE. + +WOMAN'S AID TO A.M.A. +Chairman of Committee--Mrs. C.A.

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.

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 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. |
