Since the death of our dear Brother Powell, with the large +increase of special resources and the general expansion of our work, an +addition to our administrative force has become an absolute necessity. +Dr. Woodbury brings to his new position special qualifications. His +eighteen years of successful work in his pastorate at Rockford, Ill., and +his very effective two years' service in Minneapolis, have made him +acquainted with the work of a pastor and the needs of the churches. In +these pastorates, and in other services for the general interests of the +church, he has shown exceptional administrative gifts. These will find +ample range for activity in the Secretaryship. His public address at +several of our own Annual Meetings and on many other similar occasions, +attest his power as a platform speaker. He will meet with a warm welcome +to the duties of this office, and we are confident that he will receive an +equally cordial greeting in the churches, Conferences and Associations.</p> +</div> + +<a name="Pg108"><span class="anchor" id="Pg108"></span></a> + +<div class="div"> +<a name="toc_3"></a> +<h3>Indian Civilization—Now For A Push Forward.</h3> + + +<p>The time has come for new vigor in the Indian service. Gen. Morgan has +been confirmed as Indian Commissioner, and his broad and well-matured +plans are ready to be put into operation. We hope that Congress will +make the necessary appropriations, and that nothing will hinder the +multiplication of Indian schools and the ingathering of pupils. With the +Sioux Indians, a great crisis has come. Their reservation is severed, +and a broad belt is opened in it for the incoming of the white man. +There will, of course, be the rush and confusion of new settlers, with +the almost inevitable demoralization of the Indians. But a still more +serious and protracted evil will grow out of the conflict of the two +races and the temptations to the Indians. If ever the friends of the +Sioux Indians needed to bestir themselves, it is just now. The helping +hand, the open school and the sanctifying Gospel, must forestall all bad +influences. So far as the work of the American Missionary Association is +concerned, the opening of this reservation to white settlement will +necessitate the removal of five or six of its out-stations, occasioning +spiritual loss and additional money appropriations.</p> + +<p>While we hail with satisfaction the inauguration of Gen. Morgan's broad +plans, we feel that there should not be the least relaxation on the part +of the churches, in the "contract schools" and in the preaching of the +gospel. From John Eliot down, the gospel has been the great civilizing +power among the Indians, and it will be a fatal mistake to withhold it. +If the new Government policy is successful, the gospel is its essential +adjunct, and if there should be hindrances in carrying out that policy, +the steady stream of gospel influences will be all the more necessary.</p> +</div> + +<div class="div"> +<a name="toc_4"></a> +<h3>Emigration Of Colored People.</h3> + + +<p>We have seen a large map of a Southern railroad, on one side of +which were some highly-colored pictures. The first showed the tumble-down +cabin of a colored man, himself, wife and boy carrying from it their +few belongings to the favored land of promise. The next picture shows +him and his family in the woods in his new location, getting ready to build +his house. The third picture represents a fine log house, with green fields +well fenced, a mule and pigs and chickens in the yard; and the last picture +presents a large frame house with a veranda, in which the colored man is +seated in a large arm-chair, reading a magazine, and his wife sitting by +his side in a rocking chair, while near at hand is the capacious barn, +with mules grazing in the adjacent lot.</p> + +<p>By the side of each picture is a running comment, supposed to be made +by the colored man himself, describing his hard lot 'where he first lived, + +<a name="Pg109"><span class="anchor" id="Pg109"></span></a> +then telling of his purchase in the new land of promise, stating the price +and the terms of purchase; then follows his happy rejoicing over his new +location, and finally his triumphant joy in his wealth and fine mansion.</p> + +<p>It is by such representations, we are told, that the colored people in +various parts of the South are tempted to leave their homes for new +locations. The experience of those of their number who have made such +migrations has not usually been encouraging, and we fear that thousands +more will acquire a good deal of bitter knowledge learned in that same +expensive school.</p> +</div> + +<div class="div"> +<a name="toc_5"></a> +<h3>A Comparison.</h3> + +<h3 class="sub"><span class="hi" style="font-style: italic;">The French and the Negro.</span></h3> + + +<p>A writer in the March number of The Forum has drawn a vivid picture +of France in its poverty, misery and tyranny in 1789, and contrasted +with this the thrift, the improved land culture, and the better clothing, +food, home and intelligence of the French peasantry of 1889. The Revolution +of 1789 broke the tyranny of the old crushing regime and opened +the way for the new world that brightens and gladdens the France of to-day. +But the Revolution did not itself make the great change; it simply +made it possible.</p> + +<p>Two factors developed in French character were the practical forces in +the new prosperity—economy and the desire for ownership of lands and +homes. That economy was pushed, in many cases, almost to the extreme +of miserly hoarding. We give below a few brief extracts illustrating the +point in question:</p> + +<div class="display"> +<p>"The life led by a comfortable English or American farmer would +represent wicked waste and shameful indulgence to a much richer French +peasant. I, myself, know a laborer on wages of less than twenty +shillings a week, who by thrift has bought ten acres of the magnificent +garden land between Fontainebleau and the Seine, worth many thousand +pounds, on which grow all kinds of fruits and vegetables, and the famous +dessert grapes; yet who, with all his wealth and abundance, denies +himself and his two children meat on Sundays, and even a drink of the +wine which he grows and makes for the market."</p> + +<p>"The French peasant has great virtues, but he has the defects of his +virtues, and his home life is far from idyllic. He is laborious, shrewd, +enduring, frugal, self-reliant, sober, honest and capable of intense +self-control for a distant reward; but that reward is property in land, +in pursuit of which he may become as pitiless as a bloodhound."</p> + +<p>"Take him for all in all, he is a strong and noteworthy force in modern +civilization. Though his country has not the vast mineral wealth of +England, nor her gigantic development in manufactures and in commerce, +he has made France one of the richest, most solid, most progressive +countries on earth. He is quite as frugal and patient as the German, and +is far more ingenious and skillful. He has not the energy of the +Englishman, or the elastic spring of the American, but he is far more +saving and much more provident. He 'wastes nothing, and spends little,' +and thus, since his country comes next to England and America in natural +resources and national energy, + +<a name="Pg110"><span class="anchor" id="Pg110"></span></a> +he has built up one of the strongest, most self-contained and most durable +of modern peoples."</p> +</div> + +<p>A very significant parallel is presented in these two pictures to one +that may be drawn between the Negro of 1861 and the Negro of 1961. The +Civil War corresponded to the Revolution in France. It broke the fetters +of the slave, and made his future a possibility. If, now, the Negro will +fill out the beautiful picture in imitation of the French peasant, he +must imitate him in rigid economy and in the ambition to own his own +land and his own home. We do not of course advise the penuriousness of +the miser, but the Negro is in little danger on that score. The grandest +impulse, even in economy and in obtaining property, is found in a +genuine Christian character. This is the work that our ministers and +teachers are endeavoring to accomplish, but we are sure It will aid them +to urge this practical saving of money, curtailing of needless expense, +and the making of most determined efforts to become owners of their own +homes.</p> +</div> + +<div class="div"> +<a name="toc_6"></a> +<h3>The Stereopticon In New England.</h3> + +<p>Rev. Stanley E. Lathrop, Sherwood, Tenn.</p> + + +<p>Secretary Roy of Chicago started an excellent thing when he arranged the +Stereopticon pictures to illustrate the great work of our Association. +After two months spent in traveling with these pictures and giving +explanatory lectures concerning them, the writer desires to testify to +their usefulness, and to express his thanks to the good people of New +England for the interest they have shown, and the cordial reception they +have given him in his travels. Evidently the work of the Association is +"on a boom" in New England. Everywhere a great many questions were +asked, and great many expressions of hearty interest manifested. During +eight weeks, the audiences averaged over four hundred in number, in +spite of "la grippe" and the rainy, sloppy weather that prevailed. In +this time we traveled over five thousand miles, giving the Stereopticon +lecture in forty-three different places, and making twenty-three other +addresses upon the work, to audiences numbering in several cases nearly +a thousand, and a total aggregate of over twenty-five thousand people. +The descendants of the Pilgrims are thoroughly interested in our +missionary work. The pictures of the people, buildings, etc., among the +ten millions of people among whom our work is going on, in the West and +South, were greatly enjoyed, with an evident increase of interest and of +contribution. In view of all my past experiences, of four years of +military service in the South, and my twelve years of missionary work in +that region, this two months of travel and intercourse with so many +intelligent friends and helpers of our Association has been a privilege +and an enjoyment. God bless the good people of New England, and the +grand work of our American Missionary Association!</p> +</div> + + +<a name="Pg111"><span class="anchor" id="Pg111"></span></a> + +<div class="div"> +<a name="toc_7"></a> + +<h3>Mrs. Jane Twichell Ware.</h3> + + +<p>The early and honored workers under the American Missionary Association +in the South are passing away. But the sharp sorrow of parting from them +is relieved by the memory of their self-denying and useful work, and +especially where these dear friends threw over those dark days and +trying experiences the halo of personal excellence, sweetness of +disposition and a manner full of cheerful vivacity.</p> + +<p>Such an one was Mrs. Ware. She entered the service among the Freedmen in +the autumn of 1865, and in Norfolk, Virginia; Charleston, South +Carolina; and Atlanta, Georgia, cast the radiance of her bright +countenance and cheerful spirits over her serious and most successful +work. She was a joy in the circle of her associates and an inspiration +to her pupils.</p> + +<p>In 1869, the year in which the Atlanta University was founded, she was +united in marriage to Rev. E.A. Ware, its President, and they with +others gave the moulding touch to the University, and won for it the +confidence of the friends at the North, and an annual appropriation from +the State of Georgia. In her own pleasant home and in various services +to the institution, she made herself useful. In 1885 her husband died +suddenly from heart failure, and from that time onward she was left to +face alone the serious pulmonary trouble which two years before had +fastened itself upon her. Bravely and in hope did she battle with the +adversary, until at length in the home of her brother, Rev. Jos. H. +Twichell, of Hartford, she passed away February 17, 1890, in the +forty-sixth year of her age, and her remains were laid to rest among her +kindred in the village burying ground at Plantsville, Connecticut. A +bright light has faded out from earth, a brighter one has dawned in +Heaven.</p> +</div> + +<div class="div"> +<a name="toc_8"></a> + +<h3>Paragraphs.</h3> + + +<p>The mention of the fact, in the last number of the MISSIONARY, that Dr. +Patton was one of the members of the Convention in Albany that formed +the American Missionary Association, suggests the inquiry as to how many +of those then present are now alive?

Not all the heroism and self-sacrifice are in the field +work, among the missionaries of our great Association, as true and +earnest as they are. There is the same spirit of devotion to the Master +in the collecting field.

It was the wish of this venerable brother that the box should +be sold and the proceeds devoted to our work. A gentleman in Boston +offered twelve dollars for the box.

All except the youngest can read a little in the +Bible. They sang a gospel hymn for me and repeated quite a number of +Bible verses and the Lord's prayer.

Hiatt.</p> + + +<p>The tenth of February was a great day in Lexington, Kentucky. It marked +two special events, the dedication of Chandler Normal Institute, and the +opening of a great "Hoss sale." Anybody who knows the "Blue-grass +region" will understand what the latter means. The world flocks to +Lexington on such occasions in quest of thoroughbreds, and the country +rids itself in consequence, at fabulous prices, of droves of genuine +Kentucky plugs. Buyers go home wiser, sellers richer. But not everybody +on this day was discussing "Abdallah" and "Hambletonian." Long before +the appointed hour, a stream of people began moving to a part of the +city where two pikes intersect, the point of attraction being a fine +three-story red brick structure known as the "Chandler Normal +Institute." This building occupies a commanding position on a hill which +overlooks the city. It was erected and furnished by the liberality of +one esteemed lady, Mrs. Phoebe Chandler, of Andover, Massachusetts, at +an outlay of some fifteen thousand dollars, and is given to the cause of +Christian education under the care of the American Missionary +Association. On this particular day, the building was formally +consecrated to its work with appropriate and impressive services. At two +o'clock in the afternoon the spacious chapel was filled to its utmost by +crowds of colored people, some of whom had come for miles in carriages, +to witness the event. The presence also of numerous whites, representing +the foremost professional and social circles of Lexington, was a +significant fact. These friends, by their close attention and frequent +signs of approval, as well as by their own eloquent contributions to the +programme, gave unmistakable evidence of earnest sympathy with the good +cause.</p> + +<p>The exercises were opened with prayer and Scriptural reading, after +which the Principal, Mr. Frederick W. Foster, made an address of welcome, +marked for its practical force and fine discretion. The visiting Secretary +then, in an address of half an hour, gave his understanding of the + +<a name="Pg115"><span class="anchor" id="Pg115"></span></a> +importance of Christian education as the solution of National problems, +both North and South, closing with a formal God-speed to this institution +as it started forth on its noble career. To this address, Rev. Mr. Tate, of +the African Methodist Episcopal Church, made a scholarly, eloquent and +touching response. He reviewed the work of the Association for his people, +eulogized the friend who had made this special benefaction, and urged +upon his hearers to make the most, under God, of the high privileges thus +brought to them from afar.</p> + +<p>Informal addresses from both white and colored visitors followed. The +eloquent periods of Dr. L.P. Todd, dwelling fully upon the brotherhood +of man, the witty and practical remarks of Prof. John Schackleford, of +Kentucky State College, and the wise and cogent exhortations of Rev. W. +S. Fulton, D.D., cannot be reported; suffice it to say, that they gave a +spiritual uplift and fine dignity to the occasion. These noble men are +staunch supporters of our work, and freely give to our corps of teachers +the benefits of fatherly and fraternal fellowship.</p> + +<p>A resolution expressing the gratitude of the colored people for this +generous gift was adopted with enthusiasm, and the inspiring exercises came +to a close with the praises of God in the well-known words of Bishop Ken:</p> + +<p style="text-align: center">"Praise God, from whom all blessings flow."</p> + +<p>The event marks the beginning of an epoch in our work in this place. +One dark brother said: "It is the greatest day for the colored people of +Lexington since the emancipation."</p> +</div> + +<div class="div"> +<a name="toc_12"></a> + +<h3>Congregationalism Around Paris, Texas.</h3> + +<p>By Rev. J.D. Pettigrew.</p> + + +<p>It gives me much pleasure to tell you what we are doing for the Master +and for Congregationalism in this part of the great field. I came to Paris +nearly eleven months ago and assumed the pastorate of the First +Congregational Church. I had been here but a short time when I found that +there were three other Congregational Churches out in the country near +Paris, and that there had once been a Quarterly Conference made up of +these four churches; but this Conference had died out ere I came. I +thought that such an organization, if revived, would be a great stimulus to +the churches, and especially to those out in the country, two of which +were, at that time, without pastors. So I sent out cards notifying the +brethren that the Conference would convene at a specified day, and urging +them to come in full representation.</p> + +<p>A few, very few, responded. We organized. After transacting a little +business the Conference adjourned to meet at our next regularly appointed +time. Before the time for our next meeting we were all made to rejoice +by the coming of Rev. M.R. Carlisle, a graduate of both the collegiate + +<a name="Pg116"><span class="anchor" id="Pg116"></span></a> +and theological courses of Talladega College, from Alabama, to assume +the pastoral charge of two of these churches—Dodd City and Bois D'Arc.</p> + +<p>He and I drew up a plan to re-organize the old Conference into a more +excellent and practical one. We offered our plan at the next meeting of +the Conference, and it was cheerfully received. The effect of this plan +was to change the name from Conference to Association, and to divide the +Association into three distinct departments, each with its own set of +officers, as follows: a Sunday-school Department, composed of the +different Sunday-schools of the churches; a Missionary Department, +composed of the different church missionary societies; and a Church +Department, composed of the different churches.</p> + +<p>Each department had its own distinct programme and business; but +the combined programmes of all made up the "general programme" of +the Association. This plan works excellently, and serves as a wonderful +stimulus to each of these departments of church work. We have, in our +next meeting, to add the department of Christian Endeavor.</p> + +<p>Our last session, held with our church in Paris on the 28th of December, +1889, was indeed a grand success. Previous to its meeting, I heard of +four other Congregational Churches in the Indian Territory, under the +auspices of the American Home Missionary Society. I sent them an invitation +to join the Association. These churches promptly sent delegates +who connected their churches with the Association.</p> + +<p>One brother from the Territory heard of the Association, but was not +able to pay his way on the train to Paris. So, as he said to me, "I left my +wife and children in the care of God, and I put myself into his hands and +came; and I walked every step of the way." This brother walked forty +miles to meet the Association, and his fidelity had a great effect upon the +whole meeting. We tried to make it pleasant for him, and took up a special +collection to send him back home on the train.</p> + +<p>Space will not allow me to speak touching the spiritual strength and +interest of the meeting. We had many valuable papers read and discussed, +and closed our session on the Sabbath with the following programme: +"Sabbath morning from 9-11 o'clock, Sabbath-school; 11-12:30, Sermon, +'Congregationalism in the South,' Rev. J.D. Pettigrew; at 3 o'clock P.M. +Sermon, by Rev. A. Gross, from the Indian Territory; 7:30 o'clock P.M., +Quarterly Sermon, by Rev. M.R. Carlisle, followed by the administration +of the Lord's Supper." The brethren left for their fields of labor filled +with encouragement and enthusiasm.' Those from the Indian Territory +seemed to be especially strengthened.</p> + +<p>Our next meeting is to be with the Bois D'Arc church. We have now eight +churches and mission stations represented, and it is only a question of +time before our Association will be a power for God and +Congregationalism in this part of the State. I think we have a bright +future before us here.</p> + +<a name="Pg117"><span class="anchor" id="Pg117"></span></a> +</div> + +<div class="div"> +<a name="toc_13"></a> + +<h3>A Mission Church.</h3> + +<p>Rev. Geo. C. Howe, Charleston, S.c.</p> + + +<p>The work at Tradd Street Mission in our city is carried on now in just +the same way as since its organization. After Sunday-school is over at +Plymouth Church, about 11 o'clock, a number of our young people, +including the Pastor, Superintendent Herron and Miss Deas, who acts as +organist, go immediately to the mission about a mile away, and conduct +the Sunday-school there. We have eight classes, with an average +attendance of eleven to a class. One class is composed of adults. We +finish work there at one o'clock. On Thursday night, I go down and +preach, and in case I am unable to go, Deacon Hollens takes the service +for me.</p> + +<p>Last Thursday night, an Irishman about thirty-five years old came in +while we were singing, and when I began to speak on the temptations of +Christ, he sat and listened in open-mouthed wonder. Before I finished he +arose and came forward, his eyes glistening with tears, and gave me his +hand, saying: "I belong to the Catholic Church, but they never told me +that truth from the Word, never explained it that way. That <span class="hi" style="font-style: italic;">is the truth</span>, +I know it. I was just going after a drink, but I shall not do it now. I +thank you, and hope I have not intruded by coming in." It was quite an +incident to see a strong man of an opposite race and creed, in a place +where the "Jews desire to have no dealing with the Samaritans," coming up +and acknowledging with tears that he had never heard the truth of +God's word before.</p> +</div> + +<div class="div"> +<a name="toc_14"></a> + +<h3>A Prosperous Church.</h3> + +<p>Rev. Sterling N. Brown.</p> + + +<p>We know you will rejoice with us in the good work at Plymouth Church, +Washington, D.C. In January we began a special series of meetings. I +preached short sermons nearly every night, save Saturdays, for more +than three weeks. About fifty have been hopefully brought to a saving +knowledge of Christ. The church was never, perhaps, more deeply stirred +than at this time. There seems to be a thirsting for a deeper work of +grace among Christians, a thorough coming out from the world. It was a +beautiful sight yesterday, when before the altar twenty-nine "new recruits" +took upon themselves the covenant of the church.. The most of +the remaining converts will unite with us at our next communion. A few +of them will join elsewhere. Our church is getting well organized for work +along all lines of Christian activity. The Endeavor Society among our +young people, now the largest in number in the district, is a real power +for good. The Sunday-school is taking on new life. There is before us +in this city "an exceeding good land," but before full possession, many +battles must be fought, spiritual and financial. But we have great reason +to be thankful.</p> + +<a name="Pg118"><span class="anchor" id="Pg118"></span></a> +</div> + +<div class="div"> +<a name="toc_15"></a> + +<h3>The White Cross League.</h3> + +<p>Prof. H.H. Wright, Fisk University.</p> + + +<p>I want to lay before you a short account of the work of the White Cross +League, of this University, as reported by the members at a meeting held +at my house last Sunday night. You may not be aware that late last +school year I called together a dozen or two of our best young men and +induced them to take the White Cross pledge—to treat all women with +respect, to refrain from indecent jests and coarse language, to maintain +that the law of personal purity is as binding on men as upon women, etc. +At the meeting last Sunday night one after another gave his experience +touching the White Cross movement. One young man reported that through +his persuasion, public and private, especially the latter, three or four +couples who had been living together unlawfully went before the proper +authorities and were married. Another testified that he had personally +felt the restraining influence of his pledge, while he acted as waiter +at a summer hotel. The pledge had a great restraining influence upon him +and was a safeguard. Another found it necessary to organize a Wednesday +night Bible meeting of his own, for the regular meetings of the churches +did not give him the opportunity he desired.</p> + +<p>All the young men testified to the good influence of the pledge upon +their own lives, but one young man's report of his work was of especial +interest. He is head waiter at the hotel at Lake ——, where about 250 +servants, men and women, are employed. He took a squad of seventy-eight +colored men from the South to the Lake at the opening of the season, +engaging them on condition that there was to be no gambling among them. +Immediately on arriving he organized a Y.M.C.A. among them, and held +meetings Sunday afternoons and two evenings during the week through the +summer, all well attended. At some of these meetings he spoke of the +White Cross movement, and was successful in gaining the approbation of +most of the members of the Association. The nature of the pledge and of +the talks got out among the women servants, and ere long at their +invitation he assembled from seventy-five to one hundred of them and +gave them a very earnest talk on the value and duty of virtuous lives. +Many were affected to tears, and all were seriously impressed. After +that they seemed to look to him as their protector, and often said they +were so glad they had a head man who would endeavor to shield them from +temptation and wrong. And the remarkable thing about it is, that these +women servants are white!</p> + +<p>The proprietor of the hotel, on closing the season, told our student that +if he had been told that such a work as he had accomplished among his +help could be done he would have declared it impossible. What is to be +the outcome of this little movement so auspiciously begun? It seems to +me that if wisely carried on the possibilities for good are very great.</p> + +<a name="Pg119"><span class="anchor" id="Pg119"></span></a> +</div> + +<div class="div"> +<a name="toc_16"></a> + +<h3>Berea And Temperance.</h3> + + +<p>For nearly twelve years there has been a temperance organization centering +at Berea. By personal canvass it has secured signers to the total +abstinence pledge, until the aggregate number is between two thousand +and three thousand.</p> + +<p>The length of the district from north to south is not less than ten +miles, and the greatest breadth seven or eight miles. The number of +votes polled at a general election is about six hundred. For nearly ten +years the sale of intoxicating liquors within the district has been +illegal, it having been voted out by the people by a large majority soon +after the great Murphy movement. Just on the border of the district were +two or three men, distillers in a small way and venders of the fiery +liquid, who thought the enthusiasm of the Murphy movement was past, and +took the necessary steps to have a poll opened on the liquor question, +at the August election of 1888. But they had underrated the effect of +these years of temperance education. Nearly all our students become +signers of the pledge and workers in whatever field they may visit; and +the people of the country immediately around us have been profiting by +the teachings of these meetings. When the question was clearly +presented, "Shall we again have the legalized liquor traffic among us?" +the activity of the friends of sobriety and order was as great as that +of the selfish advocates of license. Meetings were held in every +neighborhood. On election day, seventy-five ladies, of the noblest in +the district, were at the voting place. Refreshments were furnished in +abundance and free of charge. Doubtful voters were met with argument and +persuasion. All was as orderly as if it were a religious meeting. The +result showed 435 for temperance to 131 for liquor—more than three to +one. The victory was complete, and the district stands as the banner +temperance district of the State.</p> + +<p style="text-align: right"><span class="hi" style="font-variant: small-caps;">Berea College Reporter.</span></p> +</div> + +<div class="div"> +<a name="toc_17"></a> + +<h3>"Becca Must Go!"</h3> + + +<div class="lg"> +<p class="l">Say "Becca must go," Yes, "Becca must go,"</p> +<p class="l">I don't hardly see why it needs to be so,</p> +<p class="l">She's nice—very quiet.

We have now to communicate the sad tidings of +her death, after a brief, but severe illness. Her life was an eventful +and a useful one. Elizabeth was the name given her by the missionaries. +Winyan was her Indian name. She was born near Mankato, Minnesota, in 1831. + +<a name="Pg121"><span class="anchor" id="Pg121"></span></a> +At the age of twenty-five she became one of the early converts under Drs. +Williamson and Riggs. She came to live at the mission, and learned to +sew and do all household work. Dr. Williamson set her to teaching some +women, and so began her missionary labor. She was a woman of great +physical strength. When she was living at the Sisseton Agency, she cut +with her own hands and hauled to the Agency, driving the ox-team +herself, wood enough to pay for putting her little house in good repair +and to buy some farming implements. She was a faithful friend. This +fidelity she proved during the Indian uprising in 1862. When the mission +families were fleeing from their burning houses at midnight, they forgot +to take any food along. While they were hiding on an island in the +Minnesota River, she, <span class="hi" style="font-style: italic;">at the risk of her own life</span>, carried to them +bread and meat. In 1875, she and Miss Collins went to assist Rev. T.L. +Riggs in starting the Oahe Mission, near Fort Sully, on the Missouri. At +the time of her death she was in charge of an out-station on the +Cheyenne River, forty miles from the central mission. Her duties were to +hold meetings on the Sabbath, one general prayer meeting on Thursday +night, and a women's meeting on Friday night, to teach every day, visit +the sick, attend funerals, and teach the women to sew, cook, wash and +iron.</p> + +<p>Miss Collins says of her: "There is no one to fill her place. She was +one of the grandest women I ever knew. May God help our poor bereaved +Dakotas."</p> +</div> + +<div class="div"> +<a name="toc_21"></a> +<h3>An Exemplary Mother.</h3> + + +<p>The recent death of Elizabeth Winyan calls to mind a little story +connected with the training of her son, which may not be without point +even now.</p> + +<p>Elizabeth Winyan taught Edwin, her son, to believe in God and in prayer. +She tells a story of how Edwin, as a child, wanted to wear "civilized +clothes." She made him a shirt and trousers, and then he needed a hat +and shoes. She said, "I told him to pray for them; in the meantime I +worked as well as prayed, and on Saturday, when my work was done, the +missionary's wife gave me a hat and a pair of shoes for Edwin. He was +delighted and so was I. Since that time he has never doubted that God +would answer prayer." She said: "I taught Edwin to give to the Lord from +a baby. When he was not old enough to know his duty, I put the penny in +his hand and held his hand over the basket, and dropped in the penny. +Sometimes I would only be able to get one penny, and that I would give +to Edwin to put in the collection, for I wanted him to form a habit of +giving; I knew I ought to give, and God knows I would when I had a +penny, but my son must be taught." This son has grown up a good +Christian, speaks English, is a teacher, and is now a missionary at +Standing Rock. He owes much to his faithful Christian mother.</p> +</div> +</div> + + +<a name="Pg122"><span class="anchor" id="Pg122"></span></a> + +<hr class="page"> + +<div class="div"> +<a name="toc_22"></a> +<h2>The Chinese.</h2> + +<div class="div"> +<a name="toc_23"></a> +<h3>Two Chinese Anniversaries.</h3> + +<p>By District Secretary J.E. Roy, D.D.</p> + + +<p>One was that of the New Year, which is the first of February. It was at +Los Angeles. The celebration lasts three or four days. The Christian +Chinese observe the festival with Christian ceremonies. In the forenoon, +I was with the Congregational brethren at their rooms in Chinatown. +Their schoolroom was decorated with all the colors and characters of the +native land. A table was spread with fruits and nuts and candies and +cakes and flowers. The Chinese lily was the appropriate New Year's +adornment. The services were prayer, much singing of Moody and Sankey +songs, recitations of Scripture and addresses by their own men and by +visitors. The room was filled with sympathetic touring friends. After +the public service, the goodies of the table were passed around. In the +afternoon, I went to the Presbyterian, and my wife to the United +Presbyterian, service, which was much after the same sort. In the +former, the Rev. Mr. Condit and his wife, who had long ago returned from +China to engage in this work, were the leaders. After the Superintendent +of the Methodist Chinese Sunday-school had spoken, a brother in the +mission, following, called him a good Presbyterian. Although these +foreigners fall into the church order of the people who have led them +into the Jesus way, they recognize these divisions as simply so many +families akin, and so there is a constant visiting and affiliation among +them as Christians. The whole occasion was one to inspire faith in the +Gospel as suited to the needs of our common humanity, and faith in the +beneficent results upon those who have not known of the true God and +Saviour. On the afternoon of the following Sunday, in Dr. Hutchins' +church, I visited the Congregational Chinese Sunday-school, +superintended by a lawyer and taught by members of that parish. Mr. +Dorland, the Superintendent, is giving himself to this work with great +enthusiasm, and his associates share in the same. The thing which +delighted me in Dr. Hutchins' church, and in all this round of our +Chinese Missions, was the fact that the local church is taking these +Chinese of the A.M.A. schools into their fellowship, not only that of +the Sunday-school but of church membership. Whatever views may be held +as to the political economy of exclusion, these Christians seem to +realize that God has brought these pagans to their doors to be cared for +in Christ's name. Mrs. Sheldon and her daughter, the missionaries of the +American Missionary Association, teaching the night-school, serving in +the Sunday-school, and by every feasible ministry, are confirming the +judgment of one of our pastors that these lady missionaries are their +"Evidences of Christianity."</p> + +<p>The other anniversary was that of our mission at San Diego—Miss +M.M. Elliot, the missionary teacher, and Chin Toy, the helper. Rev. W.C. + +<a name="Pg123"><span class="anchor" id="Pg123"></span></a> +Pond, D.D., of San Francisco, the Superintendent of our Chinese work, +which he takes in addition to the pastoral care of the Bethany Church, had +come down for his annual visitation of the missions in Southern California. +In the Mission Chapel, at the time of the night-school, Dr. +Pond conducts the rehearsal and, on Sunday night, in the Tabernacle +of the First Congregational Church, presides at the public service. +The great assembly room is packed with interested listeners who +soon become delighted. After opening devotions, conducted by the pastor, +Rev. Mr. Voorhees, and his choir, the young brethren proceed with a +prayer in the Chinese, then with the Lord's Prayer in concert, both in +English and in Chinese. Then come songs in solo and in concert, from +the Moody and Sankey book, and recitations of Scripture passages. "Dare +to be a Daniel," was rendered in solo with fine effect as to the music, and +especially as to the idea of daring to become Christians in the face of the +derision of their pagan friends. The Ten Commandments, as recited by +one, and each responded to in music by the school in the words of the +prayer-book, were deeply impressive. And so was the "Missionary Exercise," +with nine questions by Quon Newy, answered by as many men one +after another, Quon Tape, Sam Tai, Quon Dick, Korn Ock, Korn Chow, +Korn Zee, Chong Chung, Lee Wing, and Linn Yee.</p> + +<p>The characteristic feature of the evening was the address, in good +English, of Chin Toy. Dr. Pond introduced him as having been a shoemaker +at San Francisco, who, upon conversion, about to be baptized in his +church, was locked into his apartment of the shoeshop by some of his +pagan friends, who thought that after the passing of the baptismal +occasion of Sunday morning he would get over his desire to be a Jesus +man. So, Sunday afternoon, he was released. But at night he appeared at +the Bethany and was baptized into Christ. He is now with Loo Quong, an +A.M.A. evangelist, and at present is serving as "helper" at the San +Diego mission. His address was a logical and eloquent setting forth of +the difficulties in the way of the Chinese becoming Christians; and, at +the end, it was an appeal to American Christians to improve their +opportunity to become missionaries to the heathen whom God had brought +to their door.</p> + +<p>Short addresses were then made by Rev. F.B. Perkins, of the Second +Church, and by District Secretary Roy—the former declaring that that +meeting alone was enough to repay all effort in that line; enough to +remove all prejudice. Indeed, only this week, a former pastor of that +church, Rev. J.B. Silcox, now of the East Oakland Church, told me that a +similar anniversary held in that same Tabernacle a year ago, had melted +down all prejudice. Indeed, it is now, as in the days of the primitive +Christians: wheresoever it is seen that people of the despised classes +have received the Holy Ghost, that is the end of caste distinction. +"Forasmuch, then, as God gave them the like gift as He did unto us who +had believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, what was I that I should +withstand God?"</p> +</div> + + +<a name="Pg124"><span class="anchor" id="Pg124"></span></a> + +<div class="div"> +<a name="toc_24"></a> +<h3>A Colored Man Speaks For His Race.</h3> + +<h3 class="sub">Address at the Annual Meeting in Chicago,</h3> + +<p>By The Rev. Geo. M. McClellan.</p> + + +<p>About eleven years ago, out in the country, near Louisville, there was +born a little colored girl. She was her father's first child, and he was +justly proud of her, and calculated that there must be some fitting name +for her somewhere, and that he must get it out of a book. He could not +read, but he could spell a little, and therefore he got him a copy of +Webster's blue-backed speller, and spelled the book half way through +until he found the word "heterogeneous;" therefore that little girl was +christened "Heterogeneous." This morning this programme was handed to +me, and I saw on it "Chinese, Indian, Negro, White;" and I couldn't help +thinking of Heterogeneous. As I looked over the subjects, and thought +that I would have to speak about something, I thought that "Chinese, +Indian, White man and Negro," was quite a subject for a speech. But I +was inclined to be fair, like a certain minister, who was always +preaching on infant baptism. He preached on infant baptism, no matter +what the text was. The deacons and the people of the church got tired of +it, and they concluded to give him some text that would relate to facts, +before there were any infants. So they turned to the Book of Genesis, +and found the text "Adam, where art thou?" And when the minister came to +the pulpit Sunday morning, the deacons gave this text to him and told +him, "Here is a text we want you to preach upon." He demurred a little +and wondered why they had not given him more time, but finally concluded +to preach on this text. He got up and said: "There are three points in +this text: First, that men are always somewhere; second, that they are +very often where they ought not to be; third, the text is dead set +against infant baptism; and as the time is short, I will speak on point +third." Now, I said to myself that either of these themes was a worthy +one; but as Chinese comes first, Indian second, and Negro third, and, as +the time is brief, I will speak on point third.</p> + +<p>Not long ago I saw in an illustrated paper President Harrison with his +Cabinet, represented as all lolling over asleep; and in the group there +stood a Negro, his mouth open, his collar open, his teeth showing, and +with a large scroll in his hand. Beneath this picture was this remark: +"Wake up to the question of the day," and on that scroll which the Negro +had in his hand were the words: "What are you gwine to do with the +black man?"</p> + +<p>Now, that question has been asked here indirectly to-day: and, my +friends, do you know that sometimes, as we have heard this question +discussed, we wonder just exactly how people do consider us in this +country. There have been some who have advocated colonization. Some have +said that we would have to be sent back to Africa or out West, or to South + +<a name="Pg125"><span class="anchor" id="Pg125"></span></a> +America. One man thinks that extermination will be the final thing to be +resorted to. It may be a fault in my education, it may be that this +American Missionary Association has not educated me all right—for I am +a product of the Association,—but I have been taught to suppose that we +Negroes were free, independent, American citizens, at liberty to choose +where we will stay and how long we will stay. It seems that very eminent +men are discussing the feasibility of sending us to Africa, and whether +it is wise to go to the expense if it is thought best to send us there. +Now, my friends, it does not seem to me that there is any question about +it so far as we are concerned. The whites may go if they want to, but we +are not going to budge! So long as this is a free country we are going +to stay here; it satisfies us. It seems to me God has so settled it.</p> + +<p>The question is not, what are you going to do with the colored man, but +what are you going to do for him? A great deal has been done, and it has +been said that more has been done for the Negroes than for any other +people. That is true: and the Negro has done more in these last +twenty-five years than any other people on whom money and time and labor +has been expended. The American Missionary Association found out long +ago what the Negro problem was. They established schools and sent +teachers among us, and when they came to us, they came at once, +assuming—not as Senator Eustis has done, that the Negroes have an +inherent sense of inferiority, and that they should take an assigned +place; not as Governor Lee has insisted, that the all-important thing +for the white man to do is to keep the Negro down; and not as Senator +Gibbs of Georgia, who a few weeks ago insisted that the white people are +in imminent peril, and even went so far as to bring a bill before the +Legislature as to whether the Negroes should be driven out of that +State. That is not the way these teachers have come down to us. They +have assumed that we are as capable as other people, that we have the +same needs; and because they have come to us with this assumption to +begin with, because they have received us in this way, we have made the +progress that we have.</p> + +<p>Now, of all things that are most needed to be done for us, we need a +good theological seminary in the South, where the ministry can be educated +among us. It is only an elevated Christian citizenship that will save us, +and make us what other people are; and we must have a theological seminary +to aid us toward that end. You have given us colleges, normal +schools, industrial training schools, and schools of common branches, and +we have now young men and young women filling all the schools through +the South. We can get good teachers for our schools in the remotest +places, in Arkansas, Texas and Mississippi, or anywhere else. So it is not +a question as to what kind of teachers we will have. But the churches +have not in their pulpits ministers well prepared to preach the gospel of +Christ. They have not kept up with the young people in the work done +by the schools. In the North, one of the pleasant things we find wherever + +<a name="Pg126"><span class="anchor" id="Pg126"></span></a> +we go, is that in all your churches there is something for the young +people to do. You have Christian Endeavor Societies, and various +organizations by which the young people may be reached. Therefore, you +gather them in from the beginning and have them trained so that they can +take your places as soon as you are ready to step out of the work. It is +not so with our churches. Our ministers have not advanced to that degree +where they can take up such work. In these little Congregational +churches that have been planted, we have educated ministers, who are +able thus to work, especially among young people. We do not have people +at our hand as other churches have, but we are trying to get hold of +them. In Fisk University there were last year, I believe, 510 students, +of whom, perhaps, there were 100 Congregationalists. So, after all, it +is Methodists and Baptists that you are educating there. This is all +right, because the great masses of the people are found in those +churches. If we had a Congregational Theological School we could reach +these people just as well through the pulpit as we reach them in the +schools.</p> + +<p>I was asked to give a little of my personal experience. I dislike to do +this: but if narrating any of my personal experience will give an +insight into the work that the American Missionary Association is doing, +I will gladly consent. My story is the story of hundreds of young men in +the South. Only in the larger cities can we get a good English +education, except we go to schools established for us by this +Association. I went eight years to Fisk University. I have a brother +there now in the senior college class. This is his tenth year, and I +have a sister who is also in her tenth year there. It takes a long while +to get through. My father had no money to send me to school. In his +slavery days he had stolen a little bit of learning, and had learned how +to write and read and a little arithmetic. I was about four years old +when the stroke for freedom was made. My father began to teach me +arithmetic, and many a day in his shoemaker's shop, as I sat and kept +the fire going, he would teach me and carry me as far as he could; and +he put into me the idea of getting an education. At fifteen he told me I +might have my own time. At that age I had advanced far enough to pass +the examination of the district school, and, having passed, I made my +way to Fisk University. I had not known that there was such an +institution in the land, or such a thing as the Missionary Association; +but going once into an adjoining county, I happened to fall in with some +Christian young men from Fisk, and they told me about that school. I had +always had a great desire to be educated, and so I went down there. When +I arrived there, I thought it was a strange place. I was familiar with +white people, but I think I had never up to that time had one of them +shake hands with me. When I found what they were doing there, and that +it was an earnest Christian school, my whole soul was uplifted, and I +determined to seek for better things. I thought I was pretty well +educated, but when I found myself down stairs among those learning + +<a name="Pg127"><span class="anchor" id="Pg127"></span></a> +grammar and arithmetic, and that there were nine years before me, I +concluded that after all I was not very well educated, but I set out to +go through that long course of study.</p> + +<p>During all those years of study I taught school every summer. For nine +years I was not out of the school room a month in the year. I was either +a pupil or a teacher. Wherever I was teaching, I would try to set up a +little Fisk University of my own. You know that the school teacher who +goes out into these country places is everybody and everything. He is +law and gospel, and he must know everything—at least, he must not let +people know that he does not know everything. So I was not only school +teacher, but I organized a Sunday-school, and preached, also. Especially +in Mississippi I did that kind of work, where there was much need of it. +This is the way that hundreds of young men have gone through Fisk +University and other institutions. We get our education sometimes at +great cost, and at great hardships. Sometimes we break down under this +constant strain of teaching. Many a time in Mississippi swamps I have +waded up to my knees in water going to school, and many a time have I +taught lying sick on my back; but the money had to be made. This is the +way we get through, and not only the young men but the girls. There are +two things which it teaches us: It teaches us how to be men, and it +teaches us how to work. We are forced to do it for the money's sake, and +it is not only for the money's sake, because we are sure that these +young men and young ladies go out with a Christian desire to do good, +and a young man, whether he is a Christian or not, feels that he must do +Christian work when he is teaching in the summer. He is hardly +respectable if he does not do that sort of thing during his service as a +teacher. In that way the great masses of the people are being reached by +Christian students going out among them.</p> + +<p>So it seems to me as though the problem were being slowly yet truly +solved, and by and by the Negroes will be lifted up on the same footing +with other people. That is the only thing we want. We are not fighting +for social equality, or this or that thing. No intelligent Negro has any +desire to put the South into the hands of the Negroes for rule. No man +who is intelligent could wish the government of the South to come into +the hands of any ignorant and inexperienced people, whether white or +black, and that is what we are as a mass. But we do want recognition, so +far as we have those qualities that would cause the same thing to be +granted to us if we were not Negroes. This is the only thing that we ask +for, and this is what is withheld from us. There are those even in the +South who are willing to give us this recognition, and little by little +they are getting over some of their prejudice and are inclined to +recognize us so far as we have a right to their respect. Of course there +are those who are determined to keep the Negro down; but these are +coming over slowly but surely, and by and by there will be in this land +no Negro problem.</p> +</div> +</div> + +<a name="Pg128"><span class="anchor" id="Pg128"></span></a> + +<hr class="page"> + +<div class="div"> +<a name="toc_25"></a> +<h2>Bureau Of Woman's Work.</h2> + +<p>Miss D.E. Emerson, Secretary.</p> + +<div class="div"> +<p>In our February number, in mentioning the special work of some of the +Woman's Organizations, we referred to the four teachers of the Woman's +Home Missionary Association. These have been assigned them from the +ranks of the American Missionary Association additional to their former +work in the Southern field. They having transferred to the American +Missionary Association their former work, have now eleven missionaries +under our auspices.</p> + +<p>We also failed to mention in our February number the Woman's Union +of Iowa, which is rendering us so substantial aid in the support of our +Beach Institute at Savannah, Georgia.</p> + +<p>And here comes yet another pledge—the Union of Kansas starting in +with three hundred dollars toward the support of a missionary. Nebraska +has also come forward with a pledge of a definite amount.</p> + +<br> + +<p>The State Unions organized in the South have begun their growth in the +right direction. The Union of Louisiana shows its right to live by the +following words from its Treasurer: "I have just had the privilege of +sending off three postal orders, $8.00 to the A.M.A., $7.00 to the +A.H.M.S., and $3.00 to the W.B.M.I., which at least is a beginning. We +hope the little acorn planted last April may yet be a grand live oak."</p> + +<br> + +<p>The following from one of the auxiliaries of the Union of Tennessee and +Kentucky is also cheering. "The inclosed $6.00 is an offering of our +Ladies' Missionary Society of Trinity Congregational Church to the +American Missionary Association, the first fruits, financially, of the +little organization. Be assured the small gift is accompanied with +large-hearted gratitude for the work of the Association in elevating the +colored people, and earnest prayers for the continued success of the +Association in its beneficent work in every field."</p> + +<br> + +<p>MICHIGAN,—"We have we think, a model Missionary Society in our +church. We take up the study of our six great Societies and give two +months to each, just preceding our church collection for the same cause. +We study them as thoroughly as possible and our collections for the two +months go to the object of our study. November and December are A.M.A. +months with us. At our meeting this week we had reports from the +Chicago meeting.

Placing this in the center of +the platform, the chief cook advanced to the front, and after appropriate +words of greeting and of explanation, the assistants passed down the aisles +and gathered the various ingredients, or "plums" which the audience had +brought. When ready it was started on its way to the South.

The teachers are +earnest, efficient and united. The students are of a better average than +ever before. There has been a healthful religious interest all the year. +During the past two weeks there have been several conversions in every +room, (unless, perhaps, in the primary). Every room has had some religious +services conducted by the teachers. A few union services were +held, attended by those interested. These were mostly conducted by +Miss B. In Miss S.'s room the conversions are very hopeful young men +and women.</p> + +<p>"The industrial classes of boys and girls were never so large before, +and among the girls the spirit of real work and helpfulness through work +seems to be developing true womanly character. In the tool-room there +are five classes of from eight to fourteen boys every day. A little +printing-press is set up, and one boy has begun to set type. The shop is +a busy place when fourteen boys are in it shoving their saws and planes, +running the lathes, carving or hammering, and they usually seem very +happy. We are looking with anxious longing for that new teacher +promised. The number of country students this year makes it imperative +if we reach these surrounding counties, as we want to do, but the new +teacher must come soon, or we must send away thirty-five or forty +scholars, nearly all from the country.

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. + + +</pre> + +</body> + +</html> + diff --git a/15609-h/images/image01.png b/15609-h/images/image01.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..ff025d0 --- /dev/null +++ b/15609-h/images/image01.png diff --git a/15609-h/images/image02.png b/15609-h/images/image02.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..210b273 --- /dev/null +++ b/15609-h/images/image02.png diff --git a/15609-h/images/image03.png b/15609-h/images/image03.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..1e7223e --- /dev/null +++ b/15609-h/images/image03.png diff --git a/15609-h/images/image04.png b/15609-h/images/image04.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..3c61a56 --- /dev/null +++ b/15609-h/images/image04.png diff --git a/15609.txt b/15609.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..43d01fb --- /dev/null +++ b/15609.txt @@ -0,0 +1,3565 @@ +The Project Gutenberg EBook of The American Missionary -- Vol. 44, No. 4, +April, 1890, by Various + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

Correspondents will please address us +accordingly. + +Visitors will find our Rooms on the sixth floor of the Bible House, +corner Ninth Street and Fourth Avenue; entrance by elevator on Ninth +Street. + + * * * * * + +REV. FRANK P. WOODBURY, D.D. + + +It gives us great pleasure to announce the acceptance by Rev. Frank P. +Woodbury, D.D., of the position of Corresponding Secretary of this +Association. Since the death of our dear Brother Powell, with the large +increase of special resources and the general expansion of our work, an +addition to our administrative force has become an absolute necessity. +Dr. Woodbury brings to his new position special qualifications. His +eighteen years of successful work in his pastorate at Rockford, Ill., +and his very effective two years' service in Minneapolis, have made him +acquainted with the work of a pastor and the needs of the churches. In +these pastorates, and in other services for the general interests of the +church, he has shown exceptional administrative gifts. These will find +ample range for activity in the Secretaryship. His public address at +several of our own Annual Meetings and on many other similar occasions, +attest his power as a platform speaker. He will meet with a warm welcome +to the duties of this office, and we are confident that he will receive +an equally cordial greeting in the churches, Conferences and +Associations. + + * * * * * + +INDIAN CIVILIZATION--NOW FOR A PUSH FORWARD. + + +The time has come for new vigor in the Indian service. Gen. Morgan has +been confirmed as Indian Commissioner, and his broad and well-matured +plans are ready to be put into operation. We hope that Congress will +make the necessary appropriations, and that nothing will hinder the +multiplication of Indian schools and the ingathering of pupils. With the +Sioux Indians, a great crisis has come. Their reservation is severed, +and a broad belt is opened in it for the incoming of the white man. +There will, of course, be the rush and confusion of new settlers, with +the almost inevitable demoralization of the Indians. But a still more +serious and protracted evil will grow out of the conflict of the two +races and the temptations to the Indians. If ever the friends of the +Sioux Indians needed to bestir themselves, it is just now. The helping +hand, the open school and the sanctifying Gospel, must forestall all bad +influences. So far as the work of the American Missionary Association is +concerned, the opening of this reservation to white settlement will +necessitate the removal of five or six of its out-stations, occasioning +spiritual loss and additional money appropriations. + +While we hail with satisfaction the inauguration of Gen. Morgan's broad +plans, we feel that there should not be the least relaxation on the part +of the churches, in the "contract schools" and in the preaching of the +gospel. From John Eliot down, the gospel has been the great civilizing +power among the Indians, and it will be a fatal mistake to withhold it. +If the new Government policy is successful, the gospel is its essential +adjunct, and if there should be hindrances in carrying out that policy, +the steady stream of gospel influences will be all the more necessary. + + * * * * * + +EMIGRATION OF COLORED PEOPLE. + + +We have seen a large map of a Southern railroad, on one side of which +were some highly-colored pictures. The first showed the tumble-down +cabin of a colored man, himself, wife and boy carrying from it their few +belongings to the favored land of promise. The next picture shows him +and his family in the woods in his new location, getting ready to build +his house. The third picture represents a fine log house, with green +fields well fenced, a mule and pigs and chickens in the yard; and the +last picture presents a large frame house with a veranda, in which the +colored man is seated in a large arm-chair, reading a magazine, and his +wife sitting by his side in a rocking chair, while near at hand is the +capacious barn, with mules grazing in the adjacent lot. + +By the side of each picture is a running comment, supposed to be made by +the colored man himself, describing his hard lot 'where he first lived, +then telling of his purchase in the new land of promise, stating the +price and the terms of purchase; then follows his happy rejoicing over +his new location, and finally his triumphant joy in his wealth and fine +mansion. + +It is by such representations, we are told, that the colored people in +various parts of the South are tempted to leave their homes for new +locations. The experience of those of their number who have made such +migrations has not usually been encouraging, and we fear that thousands +more will acquire a good deal of bitter knowledge learned in that same +expensive school. + + * * * * * + +A COMPARISON. + +_The French and the Negro._ + + +A writer in the March number of The Forum has drawn a vivid picture of +France in its poverty, misery and tyranny in 1789, and contrasted with +this the thrift, the improved land culture, and the better clothing, +food, home and intelligence of the French peasantry of 1889. The +Revolution of 1789 broke the tyranny of the old crushing regime and +opened the way for the new world that brightens and gladdens the France +of to-day. But the Revolution did not itself make the great change; it +simply made it possible. + +Two factors developed in French character were the practical forces in +the new prosperity--economy and the desire for ownership of lands and +homes. That economy was pushed, in many cases, almost to the extreme of +miserly hoarding. We give below a few brief extracts illustrating the +point in question: + + "The life led by a comfortable English or American farmer would + represent wicked waste and shameful indulgence to a much richer + French peasant. I, myself, know a laborer on wages of less than + twenty shillings a week, who by thrift has bought ten acres of the + magnificent garden land between Fontainebleau and the Seine, worth + many thousand pounds, on which grow all kinds of fruits and + vegetables, and the famous dessert grapes; yet who, with all his + wealth and abundance, denies himself and his two children meat on + Sundays, and even a drink of the wine which he grows and makes for + the market." + + "The French peasant has great virtues, but he has the defects of + his virtues, and his home life is far from idyllic. He is + laborious, shrewd, enduring, frugal, self-reliant, sober, honest + and capable of intense self-control for a distant reward; but that + reward is property in land, in pursuit of which he may become as + pitiless as a bloodhound." + + "Take him for all in all, he is a strong and noteworthy force in + modern civilization. Though his country has not the vast mineral + wealth of England, nor her gigantic development in manufactures + and in commerce, he has made France one of the richest, most + solid, most progressive countries on earth. He is quite as frugal + and patient as the German, and is far more ingenious and skillful. + He has not the energy of the Englishman, or the elastic spring of + the American, but he is far more saving and much more provident. + He 'wastes nothing, and spends little,' and thus, since his + country comes next to England and America in natural resources and + national energy, he has built up one of the strongest, most + self-contained and most durable of modern peoples." + +A very significant parallel is presented in these two pictures to one +that may be drawn between the Negro of 1861 and the Negro of 1961. The +Civil War corresponded to the Revolution in France. It broke the fetters +of the slave, and made his future a possibility. If, now, the Negro will +fill out the beautiful picture in imitation of the French peasant, he +must imitate him in rigid economy and in the ambition to own his own +land and his own home. We do not of course advise the penuriousness of +the miser, but the Negro is in little danger on that score. The grandest +impulse, even in economy and in obtaining property, is found in a +genuine Christian character. This is the work that our ministers and +teachers are endeavoring to accomplish, but we are sure It will aid them +to urge this practical saving of money, curtailing of needless expense, +and the making of most determined efforts to become owners of their own +homes. + + * * * * * + +THE STEREOPTICON IN NEW ENGLAND. + +REV. STANLEY E. LATHROP, SHERWOOD, TENN. + + +Secretary Roy of Chicago started an excellent thing when he arranged the +Stereopticon pictures to illustrate the great work of our Association. +After two months spent in traveling with these pictures and giving +explanatory lectures concerning them, the writer desires to testify to +their usefulness, and to express his thanks to the good people of New +England for the interest they have shown, and the cordial reception they +have given him in his travels. Evidently the work of the Association is +"on a boom" in New England. Everywhere a great many questions were +asked, and great many expressions of hearty interest manifested. During +eight weeks, the audiences averaged over four hundred in number, in +spite of "la grippe" and the rainy, sloppy weather that prevailed. In +this time we traveled over five thousand miles, giving the Stereopticon +lecture in forty-three different places, and making twenty-three other +addresses upon the work, to audiences numbering in several cases nearly +a thousand, and a total aggregate of over twenty-five thousand people. +The descendants of the Pilgrims are thoroughly interested in our +missionary work. The pictures of the people, buildings, etc., among the +ten millions of people among whom our work is going on, in the West and +South, were greatly enjoyed, with an evident increase of interest and of +contribution. In view of all my past experiences, of four years of +military service in the South, and my twelve years of missionary work in +that region, this two months of travel and intercourse with so many +intelligent friends and helpers of our Association has been a privilege +and an enjoyment. God bless the good people of New England, and the +grand work of our American Missionary Association! + + * * * * * + +MRS. JANE TWICHELL WARE. + + +The early and honored workers under the American Missionary Association +in the South are passing away. But the sharp sorrow of parting from them +is relieved by the memory of their self-denying and useful work, and +especially where these dear friends threw over those dark days and +trying experiences the halo of personal excellence, sweetness of +disposition and a manner full of cheerful vivacity. + +Such an one was Mrs. Ware. She entered the service among the Freedmen in +the autumn of 1865, and in Norfolk, Virginia; Charleston, South +Carolina; and Atlanta, Georgia, cast the radiance of her bright +countenance and cheerful spirits over her serious and most successful +work. She was a joy in the circle of her associates and an inspiration +to her pupils. + +In 1869, the year in which the Atlanta University was founded, she was +united in marriage to Rev. E.A. Ware, its President, and they with +others gave the moulding touch to the University, and won for it the +confidence of the friends at the North, and an annual appropriation from +the State of Georgia. In her own pleasant home and in various services +to the institution, she made herself useful. In 1885 her husband died +suddenly from heart failure, and from that time onward she was left to +face alone the serious pulmonary trouble which two years before had +fastened itself upon her. Bravely and in hope did she battle with the +adversary, until at length in the home of her brother, Rev. Jos. H. +Twichell, of Hartford, she passed away February 17, 1890, in the +forty-sixth year of her age, and her remains were laid to rest among her +kindred in the village burying ground at Plantsville, Connecticut. A +bright light has faded out from earth, a brighter one has dawned in +Heaven. + + * * * * * + +PARAGRAPHS. + + +The mention of the fact, in the last number of the MISSIONARY, that Dr. +Patton was one of the members of the Convention in Albany that formed +the American Missionary Association, suggests the inquiry as to how many +of those then present are now alive? If those who know the facts, either +by their personal presence on that occasion or otherwise, will send to +us the names of such survivors, we will be greatly obliged. + +An envelope containing a gift of five dollars was dropped into the +contribution bag recently among others, after an address concerning our +work. It was from a faithful colored woman who had spent her life in +domestic service, and represented as true and earnest self-denial as +money could. Not all the heroism and self-sacrifice are in the field +work, among the missionaries of our great Association, as true and +earnest as they are. There is the same spirit of devotion to the Master +in the collecting field. We thank God for it, and take courage to go +forward in this work of saving these destitute millions in our land. + +"I enclose a draft for fifty dollars to be used by the American +Missionary Association in such way as they think wilt do the most good. +I am in my ninety-first year but when I read of the doings of the +Association in Chicago, it made me feel almost young. My prayer to God +is that he will continue his blessing on the Association." + +In the February number of the MISSIONARY, mention is made of a beautiful +box, the workmanship of a friend of the Association, _fourscore_ and two +years old. It was the wish of this venerable brother that the box should +be sold and the proceeds devoted to our work. A gentleman in Boston +offered twelve dollars for the box. We have since received an offer of +twenty dollars from a friend, with permission, however, to hold the +matter open a little longer for a still higher bid. Who speaks next? + + * * * * * + +"You will be interested to learn that E.A. Johnson, of Raleigh, N.C., +has just been admitted to the bar here. He passed a very good +examination, the only colored man among twenty-four whites. It made some +of them quite vexed to have him promptly answer questions on which they +failed, but when he received his license, the Judge commended him, and +the young men all congratulated him." + +It is said that the colored pupils fail when they reach mathematics. A +scholar in one of our Southern institutions made an original +demonstration of an intricate problem in geometry, in a method different +from any known previously by his teacher, an accomplished scholar, and +it was correct. + +From Le Moyne Institute, Memphis, Tennessee: Not a week passes that we +do not have to turn away earnest applicants from the school for want of +room. Fully two hundred such applicants have gone sadly away from our +door during the past months. + +A colored minister in the South applying for a position as a preacher, +says, "I feel to say woe be under me if I preach not." + + * * * * * + +Rev. A.W. Curtis writes from Raleigh, N.C.: "It is estimated that thirty +thousand Negroes have gone South and West from North Carolina since the +exodus from this State began. Most of them are crowded out because of +repeated crop failures in the eastern counties. Many of them have joined +in the movement, with the hope of doing better, who were doing passably +well at home. Many have been discouraged by the attitude of the State +toward the colored people." + +Rev. J.W. Freeman, of Dudley, N.C., writes: "The emigration casts a +great depression on all our spiritual work among the colored people now +In this locality." + + * * * * * + +AN ENTERPRISING WOMAN. + + +A letter from Louisiana says, "I visited a Negro family the other day in +a settlement where there is no school, and found the following condition +of things: A white lady was boarding with them and giving instruction +for her board. She is teaching them how to live. Eight months ago no one +in this family could read. The father only could speak English. Now all +speak some English. All except the youngest can read a little in the +Bible. They sang a gospel hymn for me and repeated quite a number of +Bible verses and the Lord's prayer. The colored mother I believe to be +one of the smartest women in America. With the help of her children--the +father spends all he gets for whiskey--she has built her house, supports +her family, makes her own furniture, spins and weaves cloth from cotton +she has raised, and has engaged this white lady to educate her and her +children, she herself leading the class. The children are all very quick +to learn. The home was tidy and well-kept. The children were clean and +neat. I shall look to see something grand come from that family." + + * * * * * + +LETTER FROM A SCHOOL GIRL TO HER PASTOR IN ONE OF OUR INSTITUTIONS. + + +"I am a Christian and I think I enjoy it better than being a sinner, and +always doing something on earth to please myself and not trying to +please my Saviour who died for me, that through him I might be saved. I +am enjoying this week of prayer, and it seems to me we would have better +Christians if we had more prayer. I feel as if I need your prayers both +night and morning. It does seem so hard for me to overcome my trials and +temptations which come to me so very often. I hope you will join in +earnest prayers to help me overcome my temptations." + + * * * * * + +The Negro, having all this promise and potency in him, is to be our +neighbor in these coming years. Whether we like it or not, he is to be +our fellow citizen, sharing with us the responsibilities and the +blessings of the republic. Before he was ripe for it he had the power of +a sovereign thrust upon him, and no man but by crime can take from him +the right and duty of joint rulership with us. It must be admitted that, +in the present condition of the average Southern Negro, he is not a +satisfactory neighbor nor a safe ruler. But that is not his fault; it is +his misfortune. His illiteracy is a National peril; his moral weakness +is a danger to himself and to the society in which he lives. But these +are the results of the cruel and corrupting system in which we held him +fast; the disabilities we have imposed upon him. And they suggest to us +certain helpful duties we owe to him; certain helpful ministries we are +under obligation to render him in order to enable him to attain that +large and splendid future toward which Providence seems to be pointing. + + * * * * * + +THE SOUTH. + + * * * * * + +DEDICATION OF CHANDLER NORMAL INSTITUTE. + +BY DISTRICT SECRETARY C.W. HIATT. + + +The tenth of February was a great day in Lexington, Kentucky. It marked +two special events, the dedication of Chandler Normal Institute, and the +opening of a great "Hoss sale." Anybody who knows the "Blue-grass +region" will understand what the latter means. The world flocks to +Lexington on such occasions in quest of thoroughbreds, and the country +rids itself in consequence, at fabulous prices, of droves of genuine +Kentucky plugs. Buyers go home wiser, sellers richer. But not everybody +on this day was discussing "Abdallah" and "Hambletonian." Long before +the appointed hour, a stream of people began moving to a part of the +city where two pikes intersect, the point of attraction being a fine +three-story red brick structure known as the "Chandler Normal +Institute." This building occupies a commanding position on a hill which +overlooks the city. It was erected and furnished by the liberality of +one esteemed lady, Mrs. Phoebe Chandler, of Andover, Massachusetts, at +an outlay of some fifteen thousand dollars, and is given to the cause of +Christian education under the care of the American Missionary +Association. On this particular day, the building was formally +consecrated to its work with appropriate and impressive services. At two +o'clock in the afternoon the spacious chapel was filled to its utmost by +crowds of colored people, some of whom had come for miles in carriages, +to witness the event. The presence also of numerous whites, representing +the foremost professional and social circles of Lexington, was a +significant fact. These friends, by their close attention and frequent +signs of approval, as well as by their own eloquent contributions to the +programme, gave unmistakable evidence of earnest sympathy with the good +cause. + +The exercises were opened with prayer and Scriptural reading, after +which the Principal, Mr. Frederick W. Foster, made an address of +welcome, marked for its practical force and fine discretion. The +visiting Secretary then, in an address of half an hour, gave his +understanding of the importance of Christian education as the solution +of National problems, both North and South, closing with a formal +God-speed to this institution as it started forth on its noble career. +To this address, Rev. Mr. Tate, of the African Methodist Episcopal +Church, made a scholarly, eloquent and touching response. He reviewed +the work of the Association for his people, eulogized the friend who had +made this special benefaction, and urged upon his hearers to make the +most, under God, of the high privileges thus brought to them from afar. + +Informal addresses from both white and colored visitors followed. The +eloquent periods of Dr. L.P. Todd, dwelling fully upon the brotherhood +of man, the witty and practical remarks of Prof. John Schackleford, of +Kentucky State College, and the wise and cogent exhortations of Rev. W. +S. Fulton, D.D., cannot be reported; suffice it to say, that they gave a +spiritual uplift and fine dignity to the occasion. These noble men are +staunch supporters of our work, and freely give to our corps of teachers +the benefits of fatherly and fraternal fellowship. + +A resolution expressing the gratitude of the colored people for this +generous gift was adopted with enthusiasm, and the inspiring exercises +came to a close with the praises of God in the well-known words of +Bishop Ken: "Praise God, from whom all blessings flow." + +The event marks the beginning of an epoch in our work in this place. One +dark brother said: "It is the greatest day for the colored people of +Lexington since the emancipation." + + * * * * * + +CONGREGATIONALISM AROUND PARIS, TEXAS. + +BY REV. J.D. PETTIGREW. + + +It gives me much pleasure to tell you what we are doing for the Master +and for Congregationalism in this part of the great field. I came to +Paris nearly eleven months ago and assumed the pastorate of the First +Congregational Church. I had been here but a short time when I found +that there were three other Congregational Churches out in the country +near Paris, and that there had once been a Quarterly Conference made up +of these four churches; but this Conference had died out ere I came. I +thought that such an organization, if revived, would be a great stimulus +to the churches, and especially to those out in the country, two of +which were, at that time, without pastors. So I sent out cards notifying +the brethren that the Conference would convene at a specified day, and +urging them to come in full representation. + +A few, very few, responded. We organized. After transacting a little +business the Conference adjourned to meet at our next regularly +appointed time. Before the time for our next meeting we were all made to +rejoice by the coming of Rev. M.R. Carlisle, a graduate of both the +collegiate and theological courses of Talladega College, from Alabama, +to assume the pastoral charge of two of these churches--Dodd City and +Bois D'Arc. + +He and I drew up a plan to re-organize the old Conference into a more +excellent and practical one. We offered our plan at the next meeting of +the Conference, and it was cheerfully received. The effect of this plan +was to change the name from Conference to Association, and to divide the +Association into three distinct departments, each with its own set of +officers, as follows: a Sunday-school Department, composed of the +different Sunday-schools of the churches; a Missionary Department, +composed of the different church missionary societies; and a Church +Department, composed of the different churches. + +Each department had its own distinct programme and business; but the +combined programmes of all made up the "general programme" of the +Association. This plan works excellently, and serves as a wonderful +stimulus to each of these departments of church work. We have, in our +next meeting, to add the department of Christian Endeavor. + +Our last session, held with our church in Paris on the 28th of December, +1889, was indeed a grand success. Previous to its meeting, I heard of +four other Congregational Churches in the Indian Territory, under the +auspices of the American Home Missionary Society. I sent them an +invitation to join the Association. These churches promptly sent +delegates who connected their churches with the Association. + +One brother from the Territory heard of the Association, but was not +able to pay his way on the train to Paris. So, as he said to me, "I left +my wife and children in the care of God, and I put myself into his hands +and came; and I walked every step of the way." This brother walked forty +miles to meet the Association, and his fidelity had a great effect upon +the whole meeting. We tried to make it pleasant for him, and took up a +special collection to send him back home on the train. + +Space will not allow me to speak touching the spiritual strength and +interest of the meeting. We had many valuable papers read and discussed, +and closed our session on the Sabbath with the following programme: +"Sabbath morning from 9-11 o'clock, Sabbath-school; 11-12:30, Sermon, +'Congregationalism in the South,' Rev. J.D. Pettigrew; at 3 o'clock P.M. +Sermon, by Rev. A. Gross, from the Indian Territory; 7:30 o'clock P.M., +Quarterly Sermon, by Rev. M.R. Carlisle, followed by the administration +of the Lord's Supper." The brethren left for their fields of labor +filled with encouragement and enthusiasm.' Those from the Indian +Territory seemed to be especially strengthened. + +Our next meeting is to be with the Bois D'Arc church. We have now eight +churches and mission stations represented, and it is only a question of +time before our Association will be a power for God and +Congregationalism in this part of the State. I think we have a bright +future before us here. + + * * * * * + +A MISSION CHURCH. + +REV. GEO. C. HOWE, CHARLESTON, S.C. + + +The work at Tradd Street Mission in our city is carried on now in just +the same way as since its organization. After Sunday-school is over at +Plymouth Church, about 11 o'clock, a number of our young people, +including the Pastor, Superintendent Herron and Miss Deas, who acts as +organist, go immediately to the mission about a mile away, and conduct +the Sunday-school there. We have eight classes, with an average +attendance of eleven to a class. One class is composed of adults. We +finish work there at one o'clock. On Thursday night, I go down and +preach, and in case I am unable to go, Deacon Hollens takes the service +for me. + +Last Thursday night, an Irishman about thirty-five years old came in +while we were singing, and when I began to speak on the temptations of +Christ, he sat and listened in open-mouthed wonder. Before I finished he +arose and came forward, his eyes glistening with tears, and gave me his +hand, saying: "I belong to the Catholic Church, but they never told me +that truth from the Word, never explained it that way. That _is the +truth_, I know it. I was just going after a drink, but I shall not do it +now. I thank you, and hope I have not intruded by coming in." It was +quite an incident to see a strong man of an opposite race and creed, in +a place where the "Jews desire to have no dealing with the Samaritans," +coming up and acknowledging with tears that he had never heard the truth +of God's word before. + + * * * * * + +A PROSPEROUS CHURCH. + +REV. STERLING N. BROWN. + + +We know you will rejoice with us in the good work at Plymouth Church, +Washington, D.C. In January we began a special series of meetings. I +preached short sermons nearly every night, save Saturdays, for more than +three weeks. About fifty have been hopefully brought to a saving +knowledge of Christ. The church was never, perhaps, more deeply stirred +than at this time. There seems to be a thirsting for a deeper work of +grace among Christians, a thorough coming out from the world. It was a +beautiful sight yesterday, when before the altar twenty-nine "new +recruits" took upon themselves the covenant of the church.. The most of +the remaining converts will unite with us at our next communion. A few +of them will join elsewhere. Our church is getting well organized for +work along all lines of Christian activity. The Endeavor Society among +our young people, now the largest in number in the district, is a real +power for good. The Sunday-school is taking on new life. There is before +us in this city "an exceeding good land," but before full possession, +many battles must be fought, spiritual and financial. But we have great +reason to be thankful. + + * * * * * + +THE WHITE CROSS LEAGUE. + +PROF. H.H. WRIGHT, FISK UNIVERSITY. + + +I want to lay before you a short account of the work of the White Cross +League, of this University, as reported by the members at a meeting held +at my house last Sunday night. You may not be aware that late last +school year I called together a dozen or two of our best young men and +induced them to take the White Cross pledge--to treat all women with +respect, to refrain from indecent jests and coarse language, to maintain +that the law of personal purity is as binding on men as upon women, etc. +At the meeting last Sunday night one after another gave his experience +touching the White Cross movement. One young man reported that through +his persuasion, public and private, especially the latter, three or four +couples who had been living together unlawfully went before the proper +authorities and were married. Another testified that he had personally +felt the restraining influence of his pledge, while he acted as waiter +at a summer hotel. The pledge had a great restraining influence upon him +and was a safeguard. Another found it necessary to organize a Wednesday +night Bible meeting of his own, for the regular meetings of the churches +did not give him the opportunity he desired. + +All the young men testified to the good influence of the pledge upon +their own lives, but one young man's report of his work was of especial +interest. He is head waiter at the hotel at Lake ----, where about 250 +servants, men and women, are employed. He took a squad of seventy-eight +colored men from the South to the Lake at the opening of the season, +engaging them on condition that there was to be no gambling among them. +Immediately on arriving he organized a Y.M.C.A. among them, and held +meetings Sunday afternoons and two evenings during the week through the +summer, all well attended. At some of these meetings he spoke of the +White Cross movement, and was successful in gaining the approbation of +most of the members of the Association. The nature of the pledge and of +the talks got out among the women servants, and ere long at their +invitation he assembled from seventy-five to one hundred of them and +gave them a very earnest talk on the value and duty of virtuous lives. +Many were affected to tears, and all were seriously impressed. After +that they seemed to look to him as their protector, and often said they +were so glad they had a head man who would endeavor to shield them from +temptation and wrong. And the remarkable thing about it is, that these +women servants are white! + +The proprietor of the hotel, on closing the season, told our student +that if he had been told that such a work as he had accomplished among +his help could be done he would have declared it impossible. What is to +be the outcome of this little movement so auspiciously begun? It seems +to me that if wisely carried on the possibilities for good are very +great. + + * * * * * + +BEREA AND TEMPERANCE. + + +For nearly twelve years there has been a temperance organization +centering at Berea. By personal canvass it has secured signers to the +total abstinence pledge, until the aggregate number is between two +thousand and three thousand. + +The length of the district from north to south is not less than ten +miles, and the greatest breadth seven or eight miles. The number of +votes polled at a general election is about six hundred. For nearly ten +years the sale of intoxicating liquors within the district has been +illegal, it having been voted out by the people by a large majority soon +after the great Murphy movement. Just on the border of the district were +two or three men, distillers in a small way and venders of the fiery +liquid, who thought the enthusiasm of the Murphy movement was past, and +took the necessary steps to have a poll opened on the liquor question, +at the August election of 1888. But they had underrated the effect of +these years of temperance education. Nearly all our students become +signers of the pledge and workers in whatever field they may visit; and +the people of the country immediately around us have been profiting by +the teachings of these meetings. When the question was clearly +presented, "Shall we again have the legalized liquor traffic among us?" +the activity of the friends of sobriety and order was as great as that +of the selfish advocates of license. Meetings were held in every +neighborhood. On election day, seventy-five ladies, of the noblest in +the district, were at the voting place. Refreshments were furnished in +abundance and free of charge. Doubtful voters were met with argument and +persuasion. All was as orderly as if it were a religious meeting. The +result showed 435 for temperance to 131 for liquor--more than three to +one. The victory was complete, and the district stands as the banner +temperance district of the State. + +BEREA COLLEGE REPORTER. + + * * * * * + +"BECCA MUST GO!" + + + Say "Becca must go," Yes, "Becca must go," + I don't hardly see why it needs to be so, + She's nice--very quiet.

RUDDOCK. + + * * * * * + +THE INDIANS. + + * * * * * + +STREAKS OF LIGHT. + +REV. C.L. HALL, FORT BERTHOLD, NORTH DAKOTA. + + +A girl about seventeen years of age writes the following to her teacher +while she is away from school for a short vacation among her people: + +"DEAR FRIEND:--I will now try to write a few lines to-night to tell you +all about what we are doing now; first I tell you when first we came +home we told the girls to come to our house that we would have prayer +meeting the first thing; I tell you they are real good girls, L----, +M----, A---- and M----; we did not expect them to come; it is far away +and they were so tired yet they did not mind, they come right away +before we saw them. We went upon the hills, Mary and I, we prayed, and +when we came back we was surprise to see the girls coming. So we had +prayer meeting; that was the first time that L---- ever prayed; we +thought we would have prayer meeting to-day, but we are sorry the girls +did not come, they did not know; we expect to go to Minot Monday if +nothing should happen." + +Another says:--"I don't want to see the Indian dance. I like to stay in +the house and I like to read the Bible every morning, and in the +afternoon I ask God to bless the boys and girls and keep you always, and +I know he will help all if we ask him." + +N---- and G----, two little sisters away on a vacation where no Sabbath +is observed, go away on the prairie alone and have prayers together. +After evening service those who wished to follow Christ were asked to +remain to an inquiry meeting, and eight remained, and in their own +language some expressed very clearly a desire to follow Christ and a +consciousness of their own sin and weakness. + +Mrs. B----'s husband died very earnestly endeavoring to teach her the +faith he had come to have, and asking her again and again to have no +idols, but to worship and believe in God alone. She is now an earnest +seeker after light, is visited on Sunday by a leading man who lives near +her, and who is asked to tell them on the Sabbath of the religion and +the God of whom her husband had told her. + +A father, a hearer, but yet a heathen, says: "I want to put the boy in a +school where he will learn God's ways. I do not want him in a school +where religion is not taught." + + * * * * * + +ELIZABETH WINYAN. + + +Many of our readers will remember being interested at our meeting in +Chicago by the appearance and speech of an Indian woman from our Oahe +Station, Elizabeth Winyan. We have now to communicate the sad tidings of +her death, after a brief, but severe illness. Her life was an eventful +and a useful one. Elizabeth was the name given her by the missionaries. +Winyan was her Indian name. She was born near Mankato, Minnesota, in +1831. At the age of twenty-five she became one of the early converts +under Drs. Williamson and Riggs. She came to live at the mission, and +learned to sew and do all household work. Dr. Williamson set her to +teaching some women, and so began her missionary labor. She was a woman +of great physical strength. When she was living at the Sisseton Agency, +she cut with her own hands and hauled to the Agency, driving the ox-team +herself, wood enough to pay for putting her little house in good repair +and to buy some farming implements. She was a faithful friend. This +fidelity she proved during the Indian uprising in 1862. When the mission +families were fleeing from their burning houses at midnight, they forgot +to take any food along. While they were hiding on an island in the +Minnesota River, she, _at the risk of her own life_, carried to them +bread and meat. In 1875, she and Miss Collins went to assist Rev. T.L. +Riggs in starting the Oahe Mission, near Fort Sully, on the Missouri. At +the time of her death she was in charge of an out-station on the +Cheyenne River, forty miles from the central mission. Her duties were to +hold meetings on the Sabbath, one general prayer meeting on Thursday +night, and a women's meeting on Friday night, to teach every day, visit +the sick, attend funerals, and teach the women to sew, cook, wash and +iron. + +Miss Collins says of her: "There is no one to fill her place. She was +one of the grandest women I ever knew. May God help our poor bereaved +Dakotas." + + * * * * * + +AN EXEMPLARY MOTHER. + + +The recent death of Elizabeth Winyan calls to mind a little story +connected with the training of her son, which may not be without point +even now. + +Elizabeth Winyan taught Edwin, her son, to believe in God and in prayer. +She tells a story of how Edwin, as a child, wanted to wear "civilized +clothes." She made him a shirt and trousers, and then he needed a hat +and shoes. She said, "I told him to pray for them; in the meantime I +worked as well as prayed, and on Saturday, when my work was done, the +missionary's wife gave me a hat and a pair of shoes for Edwin. He was +delighted and so was I. Since that time he has never doubted that God +would answer prayer." She said: "I taught Edwin to give to the Lord from +a baby. When he was not old enough to know his duty, I put the penny in +his hand and held his hand over the basket, and dropped in the penny. +Sometimes I would only be able to get one penny, and that I would give +to Edwin to put in the collection, for I wanted him to form a habit of +giving; I knew I ought to give, and God knows I would when I had a +penny, but my son must be taught." This son has grown up a good +Christian, speaks English, is a teacher, and is now a missionary at +Standing Rock. He owes much to his faithful Christian mother. + + * * * * * + +THE CHINESE. + + * * * * * + +TWO CHINESE ANNIVERSARIES. + +BY DISTRICT SECRETARY J.E. ROY, D.D. + + +One was that of the New Year, which is the first of February. It was at +Los Angeles. The celebration lasts three or four days. The Christian +Chinese observe the festival with Christian ceremonies. In the forenoon, +I was with the Congregational brethren at their rooms in Chinatown. +Their schoolroom was decorated with all the colors and characters of the +native land. A table was spread with fruits and nuts and candies and +cakes and flowers. The Chinese lily was the appropriate New Year's +adornment. The services were prayer, much singing of Moody and Sankey +songs, recitations of Scripture and addresses by their own men and by +visitors. The room was filled with sympathetic touring friends. After +the public service, the goodies of the table were passed around. In the +afternoon, I went to the Presbyterian, and my wife to the United +Presbyterian, service, which was much after the same sort. In the +former, the Rev. Mr. Condit and his wife, who had long ago returned from +China to engage in this work, were the leaders. After the Superintendent +of the Methodist Chinese Sunday-school had spoken, a brother in the +mission, following, called him a good Presbyterian. Although these +foreigners fall into the church order of the people who have led them +into the Jesus way, they recognize these divisions as simply so many +families akin, and so there is a constant visiting and affiliation among +them as Christians. The whole occasion was one to inspire faith in the +Gospel as suited to the needs of our common humanity, and faith in the +beneficent results upon those who have not known of the true God and +Saviour. On the afternoon of the following Sunday, in Dr. Hutchins' +church, I visited the Congregational Chinese Sunday-school, +superintended by a lawyer and taught by members of that parish. Mr. +Dorland, the Superintendent, is giving himself to this work with great +enthusiasm, and his associates share in the same. The thing which +delighted me in Dr. Hutchins' church, and in all this round of our +Chinese Missions, was the fact that the local church is taking these +Chinese of the A.M.A. schools into their fellowship, not only that of +the Sunday-school but of church membership. Whatever views may be held +as to the political economy of exclusion, these Christians seem to +realize that God has brought these pagans to their doors to be cared for +in Christ's name. Mrs. Sheldon and her daughter, the missionaries of the +American Missionary Association, teaching the night-school, serving in +the Sunday-school, and by every feasible ministry, are confirming the +judgment of one of our pastors that these lady missionaries are their +"Evidences of Christianity." + +The other anniversary was that of our mission at San Diego--Miss M.M. +Elliot, the missionary teacher, and Chin Toy, the helper. Rev. W. C. +Pond, D.D., of San Francisco, the Superintendent of our Chinese work, +which he takes in addition to the pastoral care of the Bethany Church, +had come down for his annual visitation of the missions in Southern +California. In the Mission Chapel, at the time of the night-school, Dr. +Pond conducts the rehearsal and, on Sunday night, in the Tabernacle of +the First Congregational Church, presides at the public service. The +great assembly room is packed with interested listeners who soon become +delighted. After opening devotions, conducted by the pastor, Rev. Mr. +Voorhees, and his choir, the young brethren proceed with a prayer in the +Chinese, then with the Lord's Prayer in concert, both in English and in +Chinese. Then come songs in solo and in concert, from the Moody and +Sankey book, and recitations of Scripture passages. "Dare to be a +Daniel," was rendered in solo with fine effect as to the music, and +especially as to the idea of daring to become Christians in the face of +the derision of their pagan friends. The Ten Commandments, as recited by +one, and each responded to in music by the school in the words of the +prayer-book, were deeply impressive. And so was the "Missionary +Exercise," with nine questions by Quon Newy, answered by as many men one +after another, Quon Tape, Sam Tai, Quon Dick, Korn Ock, Korn Chow, Korn +Zee, Chong Chung, Lee Wing, and Linn Yee. + +The characteristic feature of the evening was the address, in good +English, of Chin Toy. Dr. Pond introduced him as having been a shoemaker +at San Francisco, who, upon conversion, about to be baptized in his +church, was locked into his apartment of the shoeshop by some of his +pagan friends, who thought that after the passing of the baptismal +occasion of Sunday morning he would get over his desire to be a Jesus +man. So, Sunday afternoon, he was released. But at night he appeared at +the Bethany and was baptized into Christ. He is now with Loo Quong, an +A.M.A. evangelist, and at present is serving as "helper" at the San +Diego mission. His address was a logical and eloquent setting forth of +the difficulties in the way of the Chinese becoming Christians; and, at +the end, it was an appeal to American Christians to improve their +opportunity to become missionaries to the heathen whom God had brought +to their door. + +Short addresses were then made by Rev. F.B. Perkins, of the Second +Church, and by District Secretary Roy--the former declaring that that +meeting alone was enough to repay all effort in that line; enough to +remove all prejudice. Indeed, only this week, a former pastor of that +church, Rev. J.B. Silcox, now of the East Oakland Church, told me that a +similar anniversary held in that same Tabernacle a year ago, had melted +down all prejudice. Indeed, it is now, as in the days of the primitive +Christians: wheresoever it is seen that people of the despised classes +have received the Holy Ghost, that is the end of caste distinction. +"Forasmuch, then, as God gave them the like gift as He did unto us who +had believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, what was I that I should +withstand God?" + + + * * * * * + +A COLORED MAN SPEAKS FOR HIS RACE. + +Address at the Annual Meeting in Chicago, + +BY THE REV. GEO. M. MCCLELLAN. + + +About eleven years ago, out in the country, near Louisville, there was +born a little colored girl. She was her father's first child, and he was +justly proud of her, and calculated that there must be some fitting name +for her somewhere, and that he must get it out of a book. He could not +read, but he could spell a little, and therefore he got him a copy of +Webster's blue-backed speller, and spelled the book half way through +until he found the word "heterogeneous;" therefore that little girl was +christened "Heterogeneous." This morning this programme was handed to +me, and I saw on it "Chinese, Indian, Negro, White;" and I couldn't help +thinking of Heterogeneous. As I looked over the subjects, and thought +that I would have to speak about something, I thought that "Chinese, +Indian, White man and Negro," was quite a subject for a speech. But I +was inclined to be fair, like a certain minister, who was always +preaching on infant baptism. He preached on infant baptism, no matter +what the text was. The deacons and the people of the church got tired of +it, and they concluded to give him some text that would relate to facts, +before there were any infants. So they turned to the Book of Genesis, +and found the text "Adam, where art thou?" And when the minister came to +the pulpit Sunday morning, the deacons gave this text to him and told +him, "Here is a text we want you to preach upon." He demurred a little +and wondered why they had not given him more time, but finally concluded +to preach on this text. He got up and said: "There are three points in +this text: First, that men are always somewhere; second, that they are +very often where they ought not to be; third, the text is dead set +against infant baptism; and as the time is short, I will speak on point +third." Now, I said to myself that either of these themes was a worthy +one; but as Chinese comes first, Indian second, and Negro third, and, as +the time is brief, I will speak on point third. + +Not long ago I saw in an illustrated paper President Harrison with his +Cabinet, represented as all lolling over asleep; and in the group there +stood a Negro, his mouth open, his collar open, his teeth showing, and +with a large scroll in his hand. Beneath this picture was this remark: +"Wake up to the question of the day," and on that scroll which the Negro +had in his hand were the words: "What are you gwine to do with the black +man?" + +Now, that question has been asked here indirectly to-day: and, my +friends, do you know that sometimes, as we have heard this question +discussed, we wonder just exactly how people do consider us in this +country. There have been some who have advocated colonization. Some have +said that we would have to be sent back to Africa or out West, or to +South America. One man thinks that extermination will be the final +thing to be resorted to. It may be a fault in my education, it may be +that this American Missionary Association has not educated me all +right--for I am a product of the Association,--but I have been taught to +suppose that we Negroes were free, independent, American citizens, at +liberty to choose where we will stay and how long we will stay. It seems +that very eminent men are discussing the feasibility of sending us to +Africa, and whether it is wise to go to the expense if it is thought +best to send us there. Now, my friends, it does not seem to me that +there is any question about it so far as we are concerned. The whites +may go if they want to, but we are not going to budge! So long as this +is a free country we are going to stay here; it satisfies us. It seems +to me God has so settled it. + +The question is not, what are you going to do with the colored man, but +what are you going to do for him? A great deal has been done, and it has +been said that more has been done for the Negroes than for any other +people. That is true: and the Negro has done more in these last +twenty-five years than any other people on whom money and time and labor +has been expended. The American Missionary Association found out long +ago what the Negro problem was. They established schools and sent +teachers among us, and when they came to us, they came at once, +assuming--not as Senator Eustis has done, that the Negroes have an +inherent sense of inferiority, and that they should take an assigned +place; not as Governor Lee has insisted, that the all-important thing +for the white man to do is to keep the Negro down; and not as Senator +Gibbs of Georgia, who a few weeks ago insisted that the white people are +in imminent peril, and even went so far as to bring a bill before the +Legislature as to whether the Negroes should be driven out of that +State. That is not the way these teachers have come down to us. They +have assumed that we are as capable as other people, that we have the +same needs; and because they have come to us with this assumption to +begin with, because they have received us in this way, we have made the +progress that we have. + +Now, of all things that are most needed to be done for us, we need a +good theological seminary in the South, where the ministry can be +educated among us. It is only an elevated Christian citizenship that +will save us, and make us what other people are; and we must have a +theological seminary to aid us toward that end. You have given us +colleges, normal schools, industrial training schools, and schools of +common branches, and we have now young men and young women filling all +the schools through the South. We can get good teachers for our schools +in the remotest places, in Arkansas, Texas and Mississippi, or anywhere +else. So it is not a question as to what kind of teachers we will have. +But the churches have not in their pulpits ministers well prepared to +preach the gospel of Christ. They have not kept up with the young people +in the work done by the schools. In the North, one of the pleasant +things we find wherever we go, is that in all your churches there is +something for the young people to do. You have Christian Endeavor +Societies, and various organizations by which the young people may be +reached. Therefore, you gather them in from the beginning and have them +trained so that they can take your places as soon as you are ready to +step out of the work. It is not so with our churches. Our ministers have +not advanced to that degree where they can take up such work. In these +little Congregational churches that have been planted, we have educated +ministers, who are able thus to work, especially among young people. We +do not have people at our hand as other churches have, but we are trying +to get hold of them. In Fisk University there were last year, I believe, +510 students, of whom, perhaps, there were 100 Congregationalists. So, +after all, it is Methodists and Baptists that you are educating there. +This is all right, because the great masses of the people are found in +those churches. If we had a Congregational Theological School we could +reach these people just as well through the pulpit as we reach them in +the schools. + +I was asked to give a little of my personal experience. I dislike to do +this: but if narrating any of my personal experience will give an +insight into the work that the American Missionary Association is doing, +I will gladly consent. My story is the story of hundreds of young men in +the South. Only in the larger cities can we get a good English +education, except we go to schools established for us by this +Association. I went eight years to Fisk University. I have a brother +there now in the senior college class. This is his tenth year, and I +have a sister who is also in her tenth year there. It takes a long while +to get through. My father had no money to send me to school. In his +slavery days he had stolen a little bit of learning, and had learned how +to write and read and a little arithmetic. I was about four years old +when the stroke for freedom was made. My father began to teach me +arithmetic, and many a day in his shoemaker's shop, as I sat and kept +the fire going, he would teach me and carry me as far as he could; and +he put into me the idea of getting an education. At fifteen he told me I +might have my own time. At that age I had advanced far enough to pass +the examination of the district school, and, having passed, I made my +way to Fisk University. I had not known that there was such an +institution in the land, or such a thing as the Missionary Association; +but going once into an adjoining county, I happened to fall in with some +Christian young men from Fisk, and they told me about that school. I had +always had a great desire to be educated, and so I went down there. When +I arrived there, I thought it was a strange place. I was familiar with +white people, but I think I had never up to that time had one of them +shake hands with me. When I found what they were doing there, and that +it was an earnest Christian school, my whole soul was uplifted, and I +determined to seek for better things. I thought I was pretty well +educated, but when I found myself down stairs among those learning +grammar and arithmetic, and that there were nine years before me, I +concluded that after all I was not very well educated, but I set out to +go through that long course of study. + +During all those years of study I taught school every summer. For nine +years I was not out of the school room a month in the year. I was either +a pupil or a teacher. Wherever I was teaching, I would try to set up a +little Fisk University of my own. You know that the school teacher who +goes out into these country places is everybody and everything. He is +law and gospel, and he must know everything--at least, he must not let +people know that he does not know everything. So I was not only school +teacher, but I organized a Sunday-school, and preached, also. Especially +in Mississippi I did that kind of work, where there was much need of it. +This is the way that hundreds of young men have gone through Fisk +University and other institutions. We get our education sometimes at +great cost, and at great hardships. Sometimes we break down under this +constant strain of teaching. Many a time in Mississippi swamps I have +waded up to my knees in water going to school, and many a time have I +taught lying sick on my back; but the money had to be made. This is the +way we get through, and not only the young men but the girls. There are +two things which it teaches us: It teaches us how to be men, and it +teaches us how to work. We are forced to do it for the money's sake, and +it is not only for the money's sake, because we are sure that these +young men and young ladies go out with a Christian desire to do good, +and a young man, whether he is a Christian or not, feels that he must do +Christian work when he is teaching in the summer. He is hardly +respectable if he does not do that sort of thing during his service as a +teacher. In that way the great masses of the people are being reached by +Christian students going out among them. + +So it seems to me as though the problem were being slowly yet truly +solved, and by and by the Negroes will be lifted up on the same footing +with other people. That is the only thing we want. We are not fighting +for social equality, or this or that thing. No intelligent Negro has any +desire to put the South into the hands of the Negroes for rule. No man +who is intelligent could wish the government of the South to come into +the hands of any ignorant and inexperienced people, whether white or +black, and that is what we are as a mass. But we do want recognition, so +far as we have those qualities that would cause the same thing to be +granted to us if we were not Negroes. This is the only thing that we ask +for, and this is what is withheld from us. There are those even in the +South who are willing to give us this recognition, and little by little +they are getting over some of their prejudice and are inclined to +recognize us so far as we have a right to their respect. Of course there +are those who are determined to keep the Negro down; but these are +coming over slowly but surely, and by and by there will be in this land +no Negro problem. + + * * * * * + +BUREAU OF WOMAN'S WORK. + +MISS D.E. EMERSON, SECRETARY. + + +In our February number, in mentioning the special work of some of the +Woman's Organizations, we referred to the four teachers of the Woman's +Home Missionary Association. These have been assigned them from the +ranks of the American Missionary Association additional to their former +work in the Southern field. They having transferred to the American +Missionary Association their former work, have now eleven missionaries +under our auspices. + +We also failed to mention in our February number the Woman's Union of +Iowa, which is rendering us so substantial aid in the support of our +Beach Institute at Savannah, Georgia. + +And here comes yet another pledge--the Union of Kansas starting in with +three hundred dollars toward the support of a missionary. Nebraska has +also come forward with a pledge of a definite amount. + + * * * * * + +The State Unions organized in the South have begun their growth in the +right direction. The Union of Louisiana shows its right to live by the +following words from its Treasurer: "I have just had the privilege of +sending off three postal orders, $8.00 to the A.M.A., $7.00 to the +A.H.M.S., and $3.00 to the W.B.M.I., which at least is a beginning. We +hope the little acorn planted last April may yet be a grand live oak." + + * * * * * + +The following from one of the auxiliaries of the Union of Tennessee and +Kentucky is also cheering. "The inclosed $6.00 is an offering of our +Ladies' Missionary Society of Trinity Congregational Church to the +American Missionary Association, the first fruits, financially, of the +little organization. Be assured the small gift is accompanied with +large-hearted gratitude for the work of the Association in elevating the +colored people, and earnest prayers for the continued success of the +Association in its beneficent work in every field." + + * * * * * + +MICHIGAN,--"We have we think, a model Missionary Society in our church. +We take up the study of our six great Societies and give two months to +each, just preceding our church collection for the same cause. We study +them as thoroughly as possible and our collections for the two months go +to the object of our study. November and December are A.M.A. months with +us. At our meeting this week we had reports from the Chicago meeting. We +always aim to have at least one leaflet to put into each family once a +month--on the study we are on--hoping in this way to gain the attention +of those not interested." + + * * * * * + +A NOVEL DISH. + + +A barrel of clothing recently sent from Putney and Dummerston, Vermont, +received its first installment of gifts from a Christmas plum pudding, +which formed a part of the Christmas exercises. A wash-tub was covered +with brown paper to represent a pudding. At the proper time a young man +dressed to represent a cook, with white cap and apron, and wand of +office, entered the room followed by two boys, also in white caps and +aprons, and carrying a pudding dish. Placing this in the center of the +platform, the chief cook advanced to the front, and after appropriate +words of greeting and of explanation, the assistants passed down the +aisles and gathered the various ingredients, or "plums" which the +audience had brought. When ready it was started on its way to the South. +We venture to say it will last longer and do more good than any plum +pudding that ever was served. + + * * * * * + +OUR MANY-SIDED MISSIONARY WORK. + + +One of our efficient ladies, Principal of a large school embracing the +grades from primary to the high school and normal department, and in +which the scholastic standard is creditably maintained, writes as +follows: + +"Our school is on the whole in good condition. The teachers are earnest, +efficient and united. The students are of a better average than ever +before. There has been a healthful religious interest all the year. +During the past two weeks there have been several conversions in every +room, (unless, perhaps, in the primary). Every room has had some +religious services conducted by the teachers. A few union services were +held, attended by those interested. These were mostly conducted by Miss +B. In Miss S.'s room the conversions are very hopeful young men and +women. + +"The industrial classes of boys and girls were never so large before, +and among the girls the spirit of real work and helpfulness through work +seems to be developing true womanly character. In the tool-room there +are five classes of from eight to fourteen boys every day. A little +printing-press is set up, and one boy has begun to set type. The shop is +a busy place when fourteen boys are in it shoving their saws and planes, +running the lathes, carving or hammering, and they usually seem very +happy. We are looking with anxious longing for that new teacher +promised. The number of country students this year makes it imperative +if we reach these surrounding counties, as we want to do, but the new +teacher must come soon, or we must send away thirty-five or forty +scholars, nearly all from the country. This is written that you 'also +might know our affairs and how we do.'" + + * * * * * + +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.

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. diff --git a/15609.zip b/15609.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..12cb35e --- /dev/null +++ b/15609.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.
