+<h3>Rev. Frank P. Woodbury, D.D.</h3>
+
+
+<p>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.</p>

+<h3>Indian Civilization&#8212;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>

+<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>

+<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&#8212;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>

+<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>

+<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>

+<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? 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.</p>
+
+<p>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
+
+<a name="Pg112"><span class="anchor" id="Pg112"></span></a>
+thank God for it, and take courage to go forward in this work of saving
+these destitute millions in our land.</p>
+
+<p>"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."</p>
+
+<p>In the February number of the MISSIONARY, mention is made of a beautiful
+box, the workmanship of a friend of the Association, <span class="hi" style="font-style: italic;">fourscore</span> 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?</p>
+

+
+<p>"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."</p>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p>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.</p>
+
+<p>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."</p>
+
+<br>
+
+<p>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."</p>

+<h3>An Enterprising Woman.</h3>
+
+
+<p>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&#8212;the
+father spends all he gets for whiskey&#8212;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."</p>

+<h4>Letter From A School Girl To Her Pastor In One Of Our
+Institutions.</h4>
+
+
+<p>"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."</p>
+
+<br>
+
+<p>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 name="Pg114"><span class="anchor" id="Pg114"></span></a>
+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.</p>

+<h3>Dedication Of Chandler Normal Institute.</h3>
+
+<p>By District Secretary C.W. 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>

+
+<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&#8212;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>

+<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>

+<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>

+<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&#8212;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 &#8212;&#8212;, 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>

+<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&#8212;more than three to
+one. The victory was complete, and the district stands as the banner
+temperance district of the State.</p>

+<h3>Streaks Of Light.</h3>
+
+<p>Rev. C.L. Hall, Fort Berthold, North Dakota.</p>
+
+
+<p>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:</p>
+
+<p>"DEAR FRIEND:&#8212;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&#8212;&#8212;,
+M&#8212;&#8212;, A&#8212;&#8212; and M&#8212;&#8212;; 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&#8212;&#8212; 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."</p>
+
+<p>Another says:&#8212;"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."</p>
+
+<p>N&#8212;&#8212; and G&#8212;&#8212;, 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.</p>
+
+<p>Mrs. B&#8212;&#8212;'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.</p>
+
+<p>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."</p>

+<h3>Elizabeth Winyan.</h3>
+
+
+<p>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.
+
+<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>

+<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>

+<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&#8212;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&#8212;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>

+<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&#8212;for I am
+a product of the Association,&#8212;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&#8212;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&#8212;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>

+<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&#8212;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,&#8212;"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&#8212;on the study we are on&#8212;hoping in this way to
+gain the attention of those not interested."</p>

+
+<p>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.</p>

+<h3>Our Many-sided Missionary Work.</h3>
+
+
+<p>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:</p>
+
+<p>"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.</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. This is written that you 'also
+might know our affairs and how we do.'"</p>

+THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE
+PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
+distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at
+https://gutenberg.org/license).
+
+
+Section 1. General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A. By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement. If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B. "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See
+paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works. See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States. If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed. Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work. You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder. Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4. Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5. Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6. You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form. However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form. Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7. Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.8. You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+ the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+ you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is
+ owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+ has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+ Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments
+ must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+ prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+ returns. Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+ sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+ address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+ the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+ you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he

+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.

+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
