+No. 3.
+
+
+In this number of THE MISSIONARY we present our readers with an
+interesting variety of information, embracing sketches of personal
+observation by secretaries of the Association, letters from field
+workers, pictures of pioneers in two important fields, and pictures of
+one of our higher institutions. It is with sorrow that we are compelled
+to notice the death of our late honored and beloved President, Dr.
+William M. Taylor, and that of Professor Painter, so successful and so
+faithful in his work among the Indians.

+FIELD NOTES.
+
+BY SECRETARY RYDER.
+
+
+MOUNTAIN WORK.--A very interesting spiritual awakening seems to prevail
+in many points of our mountain field. From a pastor of one of these
+churches among our American Highlanders we have received the following:
+"I have held meetings a couple of weeks, first at the church, and then
+at the academy. A large number have been reached. The open meetings
+disclosed the new life to all. We held daily meetings of prayer in the
+evening, and a large percentage of the students attended. All took part.
+The Y.P.S.C.E. has increased fourfold, and all the time is occupied in
+their meetings, and often two or three arise to speak at once. Six names
+were presented for active membership, and two for associate. The work is
+not confined to this single church and academy.
+
+"I went recently to another village and half a dozen committed
+themselves for Christ. The Association needs an evangelist to visit
+these fields. Audiences fill the churches, most of them people who are
+out of Christ. All that prevents meeting this crying want of these
+mountain people in supplying to them more intelligent and consecrated
+ministers of the Gospel is the lack of money consecrated and given to
+this great service. This mountain field is now ripe to the harvest.
+Will not the churches multiply their gifts so that we can send into this
+harvest field more devoted men who are ready to go if they can do their
+work and simply be supported?"
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+The hard times and the difficulty of the mountain people to get clothing
+is illustrated in the following, which comes to us in a recent
+missionary letter from this mountain field:
+
+"There would have been much more suffering had it not been for the
+clothing which has gone out from this school. When seven chickens bring
+only thirty-five cents the poor mountain people do not have much
+chance."
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+A pastor of the Association among our American Highlanders writes as
+follows: "This has been a most blessed and glorious season of
+refreshing. In the bounds of my work this fall and winter I have held
+and assisted in meetings which have in all resulted in something more
+than 100 hopeful conversions. My work now is especially to care for and
+look after the welfare of these precious souls lately brought to Christ
+and to give as much time as possible to my studies."
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+INDIAN WORK.--Our friends will remember the appeal made by Rev. James F.
+Cross, of Rosebud Agency, S.D., at our annual meeting at Elgin, Ill.,
+for a chapel to be built at Cedar Butte, S.D. President Gates, moved by
+the appeal, took it up so enthusiastically that nearly $400 came from
+him and other generous givers. The Indians drew the logs and have just
+erected the chapel under the direction of Superintendent Cross. A note
+just received from the field contains the following, which abundantly
+proves the wisdom of opening this new station at Cedar Butte and helping
+the Indians in the erection of their church: "Last week I was up to
+Cedar Butte church. It was the first time since it was built that I have
+been there for service. I received two young men into the church. It was
+a warm day and the thermometer has not been ten degrees away from zero,
+except to go thirteen below, since." This chapel at Cedar Butte is the
+center of a new work, and this message brings the hopefulness of the
+field.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+"We received five grown persons to our church fellowship on Sunday, and
+two children were baptized. Three Christian Indian families were
+constituted by Christian marriage at the same time. Praise God!" So
+writes Supt. C.L. Hall, of Fort Berthold Indian Mission, N.D.

+
+ARE THEY GRATEFUL?
+
+REV. CHAS. F. SARGENT, THOMASVILLE, GA.
+
+
+Very often we are asked if the people among whom we labor are grateful
+for the work that is done for and among them--whether there is
+self-denial on their part in helping themselves in church and school
+work.
+
+It is very important that we should have some expression on their part
+in regard to this. There are many incidents in which grateful
+acknowledgment is made. A few incidents will best answer the above
+question.
+
+A little more than a mile from here there lives in an almost
+uninhabitable cabin an old lady who is called "Aunt Eliza." I saw her
+first one cold day last winter, when I called and found her in bed sick
+with pneumonia. We ministered unto her as we best could, providing
+medicine, food and clothing.
+
+From a missionary barrel garments were obtained which helped to make her
+body comfortable. She depended on the kindness of a neighbor to gather
+sticks for her and draw water. At times there was only enough fire in
+the fire-place to give a faint glimmer, not enough to make the room
+cheerful. Aunt Eliza is old and crippled, and it was only with much care
+and patient waiting that in the goodness of God she was restored to
+health. Some time passed after her recovery before I saw her. She came
+to our house on a hot summer day to bring an offering of gratitude for
+God's mercy in giving her back health and strength. She brought to us in
+a corner of her handkerchief fifty-five cents which she had saved from
+little gifts from children and grandchildren nearly as poor as herself.
+She had at this time only meal enough in her house to make one "pone" of
+bread. Gratefully she urged upon us her self-denying gift of
+thanksgiving. Of course we accepted it, only to return it to her in the
+name of the Master, who is the Great Gift Giver. Later in the season our
+sister remembered us again. She had saved for us two chickens, but a
+"_conjuror_" came along and said he would tell her fortune for them. He
+succeeded in "_beating_" her out of her offering for the Lord, and in
+return she received nothing. She came and told us all about it. This
+good woman did not rest until she brought us one at a time the chickens
+that she had promised. When the Association met with us a few days ago
+she brought, as her part to help, a few eggs. There are other incidents
+in her life which are interesting, but we cannot tell them all now. She
+certainly is grateful and gives the "widow's mite" in giving all that
+she has. She has been to our church and been blessed in meeting God in
+the sanctuary. The first Sunday that she came she bowed and courtesied
+to the people as she came in, much to their amusement.

+
+A PIONEER MISSIONARY IN AFRICA.
+
+
+[Illustration: REV. GEORGE THOMPSON.]
+
+Rev. George Thompson was early enlisted as a missionary in the Mendi
+Mission on the west coast of Africa. He had been a most ardent friend of
+the slave, active in aiding their escape from the house of bondage, and
+as a consequence had spent five years in the Missouri State Prison. He
+went to Africa in 1848 under the commission of the American Missionary
+Association, and proved himself to be remarkably useful. One of his most
+far-reaching efforts was in the work as a peacemaker. A fierce and
+unrelenting war had been raging among the tribes around the mission, and
+this was brought to a close through the wise and persistent efforts of
+Mr. Thompson. He was chosen umpire for the contending chiefs, and after
+repeated and wearying excursions, and ten interviews or councils with
+both parties, he at length succeeded. Then came the joy which peace
+brings. Warriors met and fell on each other's necks; chiefs, who were
+for years enemies, now shook hands and embraced each other with the
+affection of long-separated friends; sisters, wives and daughters, long
+captives, fell into each other's arms, weeping for joy. A chief's
+daughter was seen running to embrace her father's feet, a wife hastened
+to welcome her husband and children, and entire towns were filled with
+cries of gladness. The beatitude, "Blessed are the peacemakers," belongs
+to Mr. Thompson.
+
+Ill health at length compelled Mr. Thompson to relinquish the work in
+Africa, and in 1856 he returned to Oberlin, Ohio, where he spent five
+years in publishing his book on Africa, entitled, "Palm Land," and in
+educating two boys whom he brought with him from Africa. In 1861 he
+removed with his family to northwestern Michigan, where he labored as a
+home missionary for eighteen years, being the pastor for fifteen years
+of a church which he established. He then returned to Oberlin, where he
+remained until his death in 1893. In all these years Mr. Thompson was a
+laborious and useful man, actively engaged in awakening the churches to
+an interest in Africa, in writing his books and educating his children.
+In his later years, while living in Oberlin, he was abundant in labors
+in connection with Sunday-schools and feeble churches in Ohio and other
+States.

+
+A PIONEER MISSIONARY AMONG THE INDIANS.
+
+
+In 1843 a number of young men from Oberlin entered upon a mission among
+the Ojibway Indians in the northern part of what is now Minnesota, under
+the auspices of the Western Evangelical Missionary Society, which was
+soon afterward transferred to the American Missionary Association. Of
+the inaccessibility of this field, a competent authority has said:
+"There is probably no missionary field to-day on the face of the earth
+more difficult to reach than this was at that time."
+
+[Illustration: REV. S.G. WRIGHT.]
+
+Among this group of missionaries was Rev. S.G. Wright. As a part of his
+experience it is said that after a short visit at home, Mr. Wright
+returned to the mission taking his young wife with him--their wedding
+tour. It was a journey of over a month made in a canoe. They were both
+compelled to walk at intervals twenty-two miles in the swamps along the
+side of the stream until they reached Mr. Barnard's station. These walks
+were varied by sickness; Mr. Wright sometimes had chills every day, but
+at Mr. Barnard's station he recovered. There remained yet twenty miles
+of their journey, and this was undertaken on foot, but soon a storm
+brought five inches of snow. Mr. Wright says: "My wife was very lame,
+and what woman would not be after walking twenty long miles through mire
+and water, over high hills and through gullies, in snow from four to
+five inches deep?"
+
+The change wrought by these missionaries can be indicated in a sentence:
+When they went there the Indians cultivated almost no land and their
+only domestic animals were dogs. They maintained a precarious existence
+by hunting and fishing, and the gathering of wild rice, with starvation
+as no uncommon experience. In a few years these Indians raised their own
+supplies of corn and potatoes, with some to sell to procure other
+necessaries; they began to build houses for themselves; had the benefit
+of a saw mill and a grist mill, with the blessings of a church and
+boarding school.
+
+The Association withdrew from the mission in 1859, but Mr. Wright
+returned under other auspices, and spent several years in effective and
+useful work. He still lives and is active in Christian labors as a
+member of the church in Oberlin.

+
+A SOUTHERN JOURNEY.
+
+BY SECRETARY A.F. BEARD.
+
+
+It included every Southern State in extent from Virginia to Texas, and
+from Texas to Florida. It was a study of schools, their methods and
+attainments; it was the acquaintance of new teachers and their work, the
+greeting of those who have become old friends, the look into the eyes of
+more colored youth in schools than usually falls to one person. It was a
+comparative study of classes of all grades in schools of the same grade,
+and of schools in different States and environments. It was an
+examination of industries in agriculture, industries in mechanics, of
+schools, normal and collegiate. It was an inspection of properties; an
+inquiry as to the prices of paints and brick and lime and wall papers.
+
+It was a visit to churches, a handshake with pastors and deacons, a
+gathering of congregations to "make their wants and wishes known" to
+"the Association." One soon learns that the correct use of the definite
+article to designate the A.M.A. is not confined to those who have
+studied grammar. There is only one Association for these people. They
+never call it "American" nor even "Missionary." "The" is all sufficient,
+and it does one good to hear his society thus alphabetically
+abbreviated, as it does to meet these warm-hearted brethren of the
+colored churches which have been nourished with life by "The"
+Association. If anyone is suffering from iciness in the cardiac region,
+there is no better place for him to get the cockles of his heart well
+warmed up than in some of the colored congregations' churches which I
+visited. I said some. Alas! there is a difference in churches--in the
+South.
+
+I find the schools full of interest, and that in the higher institutions
+the girls and young women are side by side in nearly equal numbers with
+lads and young men in climbing up the steep hills of education. It is,
+indeed, climbing. It takes more time, more patience and more resolution
+than most white students with happier conditions can realize.
+
+The characteristics of the student are changing somewhat from the
+former days. Pupils are pushing into the more advanced grades earlier
+in years. They have not the memories of slavery as had the generations
+before them--only the traditions of it, and certain of its
+influences--for influences do not die when institutions pass away. There
+is not, for example, much old-fashioned Puritanism stalking about in New
+York in these days, but considerable of Puritan influence is alive and
+is just now contributing to the hopefulness of the times and the
+interests of municipal reform and even of the State government.
+Influences continue, and it will take time for those of slavery or the
+effect on both races to pass away.
+
+One may not particularize among so many schools and churches as were in
+the path of my visitation, and one must generalize if he will keep
+within limits. For ten years now it has been my privilege to study the
+South as a personal observer, not only in schools and churches and not
+only on the regular routes of travel, but in the bypaths of rural life
+and in talks with all classes and conditions of men of every shade of
+color. I may, therefore, be permitted to generalize.
+
+First, it is often said that those who live among evils best understand
+them and know how to meet them. This is a fallacy. The missionaries in
+China knew better what was for the good of China than did the Emperor
+himself. There are people in the United States, also, who could give
+some good points to the new Emperor of Russia, and if he would take them
+and use them it would be for the advantage of that country. It is true
+that impressions are not facts, and one cannot run over a fashionable
+route of travel holding converse with some hospitable Southern host and
+return with much more than impressions. Such are likely to speak with
+more confidence than knowledge, but, on the other hand, one who confines
+himself to a single locality in the South and to the local facts is more
+likely to have his views lean to inclination than to truth. One's
+opinion ought to be estimated by his information. I have known an
+otherwise intelligent citizen of New Orleans to be ignorant of the
+existence of Straight University with its 500 students and its noble
+accomplishment. A citizen of New York in this case could give the
+citizen of New Orleans some information about the South.
+
+Secondly, the negroes are gaining. Never were the schools better in
+their entire range in different States, the studies more exacting, the
+purpose on the part of students for mastery in their work more resolute.
+Never was there manifested a more self-reliant spirit. The people are
+having a hard time just now; many are poorer than ever before, but the
+negroes are gaining, inch by inch. There are millions in schools and
+unreached millions yet who could not read a word in the New Testament if
+they had one; but the gain is seen in many ways; in schools, in
+churches, in homes, and in the improved quality and character of the
+newspapers edited by colored men, as also in their increased numbers.
+The schools under the direction and superintendence of colored teachers
+are gaining in standing and worthiness.
+
+Thirdly, the white South is gaining. Not very rapidly, but gaining. The
+lawless part of the South--and there is a lawless part--is as lawless as
+ever. The lower and more violent elements, however, are but a small part
+of the Southern people. Still they know that the general public opinion
+is not positive enough to condemn them in any question between the
+negroes and the whites; hence they are not afraid to do what they will
+with the negro. The great body of the Southern people are law-abiding,
+with the single exception that they do not propose to respect the
+Fifteenth Amendment. They are committed against this. They deprecate
+lawlessness. They are personally kind to the negroes. They are busy in
+the ordinary duties of life, but the lawless know that these good people
+will never disturb them in their injustices to the negro. Then, there is
+a relatively small element of the people who are prophets of a better
+day. They themselves often feel the slavery of a public opinion which
+puts odium upon them when they are too friendly in behalf of the
+oppressed colored man. They cannot oppose many things which they feel to
+be wrong without losing their influence. These seers of the future are
+in hearty sympathy with our work and give it such personal encouragement
+as they may under the tyrannical conditions of a public opinion not
+friendly to equal rights on the part of the negro.
+
+There is a great gain, also, in Southern public opinion as to the
+capacity of the colored man and his possible future. This gain is seen
+in the better provisions for the colored public schools, in towns and
+cities. The schools of the A.M.A. are both object lessons and incentives
+for the education of the white as well as the colored in the public
+schools. The South is exceedingly sensitive as to the opinion of the
+North. A trifle of published criticism, for example, goes through the
+Southern papers with rebuttals enough to break down a national
+constitution. An imperfect and incorrect report of an interview, which
+lived just long enough to be printed, has been lately passionately
+confuted in certain Southern newspapers with a profusion of epithets
+which were out of all proportion to the harmless nonsense committed to
+the press by an untrained reporter--a new illustration of the extreme
+sensitiveness of the South to Northern opinion. Northern sentiment is
+often ridiculed, and frequently sends not a few Southern newspapers into
+spasms, but it is heeded. Let it be kindly and true, and pressed
+fraternally and constantly "In His Name" who came
+
+  "To take away transgressions
+  And set the captive free."
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+THE VALUE OF PURE AND INTELLIGENT CHURCHES.
+
+
+The extract given below has the true ring. It is from one of the pastors
+of the American Missionary Association educated at Tougaloo and Howard
+Theological Seminary. If sometimes our church work seems small and
+discouraging there are many things to be remembered. Many times we are
+told by the pastors of our churches "we could have larger churches and
+more of them if we would accept the standards of those about us."
+Moreover, some little church with fifty members may be doing more for
+the cause of Christ than some big church of ten times the number. But,
+read the extract:
+
+"In the battle of Milliken's Bend, a color bearer was seen far in
+advance of his company. The captain shouted to him, 'Bring those colors
+back to the army!' The reply was sent back, 'Bring the army up to the
+colors.'
+
+"Just so, in the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee,
+and the South generally, our church is lifting up the standard, and
+although men are constantly trying to get the standard bearer to fall
+back to the army of biased, narrow humanity, the church ever shouts back
+the reply of the immortal color bearer, 'Bring the army up to the
+colors.'
+
+"Every man and woman going out from our schools is imbued with the
+thought that he or she is to hold up the standard of God--not man--for
+the people. Every church, school or mission fostered by the A.M.A. is
+holding up the highest ideals of all life. And while our work does not
+grow in numbers as rapidly as we could wish, we are broadcasting the
+good seeds of the Kingdom over all the land, and here and there they are
+springing into life, bringing forth fruit--some thirty, some sixty, and
+some an hundred fold; so we go on grinding out the grist ever and anon
+holding one for toll. I am not ignorant of what other churches are
+doing, and some are doing nobly, but ours is the great work. It has been
+my observation, that wherever an enterprising work is being carried on
+in church or school, the leading force is generally the product of
+Congregational effort, directly or indirectly. So take away our work,
+then it would be like blotting out the sun, moon and most of the stars
+from the sky."

+A COLORED MAN WINS.--Charles W. Wood, of Chicago, a colored contestant
+for oratorical honors, has won the first prize in Beloit College, Wis. A
+few years ago he was a newsboy upon the street, but he made up his mind
+to have an education. With the aid of a generous patron he has nearly
+completed his college course and justified the high hopes of his many

+
+TILLOTSON, AUSTIN, TEXAS.
+
+BY SECRETARY A.F. BEARD.
+
+
+In the year 1875 the Rev. George J. Tillotson, of Connecticut, visited
+various points of the South with a view to the establishment of a
+school. He was accompanied by a secretary of the Association. After a
+careful survey they selected Austin, Texas, as the most promising point.
+About twenty-five acres of partially wooded land just beyond the eastern
+boundary of the city of Austin were purchased for $5,000, the gift of
+Mr. Tillotson. In the following year a charter was obtained and the work
+of raising money for the building was entered upon. The funds were
+finally secured, and in 1879 the foundations were laid, and the
+building, 104 feet in length and 42 in depth, constructed of white
+pressed brick with dress stone trimmings, rose to its five stories in
+height. On the 17th of January, 1881, the school opened. Two of the five
+floors were then open spaces. Eleven pupils only were enrolled at the
+beginning, but the term closed in June with 107. During this year the
+building was completed and named "Allen Hall," in honor of one of the
+largest givers. At the opening of the fall term the beginning of the
+next year, the accommodations were taxed to the utmost. In August, 1882,
+the report reads, "Allen Hall is full to repletion, 100 in the boarding
+department. Work cannot unfold for need of more room. Young men and
+young women in the same building make an urgent appeal for a new
+building."
+
+At no time since the beginning of the second year have there been
+adequate accommodations for all desiring to attend.
+
+For ten years the institution under the name of "Tillotson Collegiate
+and Normal Institute" has furnished to students from all parts of the
+great State of Texas with its half million of colored people, and from
+other States, and from Mexico, not only an opportunity to acquire a
+thoroughly practical common-school education, but also a more extended
+course to prepare students for entrance to the highest educational
+institutions in the land; and a normal training course for teachers for
+all positions in the public schools. Within this period of time a church
+has been formed for the students of the institution and others, which
+has been regularly ministered to by the president of the institution.
+
+In the year 1888 a building for carpentry and manual instruction was
+erected and a teacher was appointed for industrial training.
+
+The picture following is that of Allen Hall as it looks down upon the
+valley of the river Colorado. In every direction the views are of great
+extent, and include many picturesque scenes. The State capitol--a mile
+distant--and the various public buildings of Austin, are before the eye.
+Since electricity has been introduced, Austin by night presents a
+brilliant outlook from the grounds of the institution, but the light
+which shines from these buildings on the hill sends its beams farther
+than those of the electric plant, and pierces a denser darkness than
+that of night.
+
+[Illustration: ALLEN HALL.]
+
+The industrial buildings--viz., the shop for carpentry, another for
+blacksmithing, for repairing of vehicles, and for painting--are at a
+suitable distance in the rear on the "boys' side" of the grounds. Below
+them are located the barn, wagon house, hennery, etc.
+
+On the crest of a second eminence, several hundred feet from "Allen
+Hall," is the attractive new building (see picture, page 100) used as a
+dormitory for teachers and young women pupils. In this building are the
+culinary department also, and the dining room for each hall. There are
+forty dormitory rooms in this hall which will accommodate sixty pupils
+and their teachers. In addition to its dining-hall for all the pupils
+within the institution there are reading and sewing rooms, etc., which
+add to its completeness. There are not many school buildings anywhere
+with more diversified landscape and beautiful natural surroundings than
+those of Tillotson. Encompassed by oak trees large enough for shade and
+shelter, but not over-towering the prospect, free from the distracting
+noises and dust of the streets, and yet possessing all the advantages of
+a thrifty and beautiful city, the student at Tillotson will have at
+least one period in life that may not be commiserated.
+
+This new building has not yet been duly named, and if anyone of those
+who may read this sketch will give $1,000 to be used as an endowment
+fund, the interest to be applied year by year as long as the school
+stands, we shall be glad to name this new hall after the giver, unless
+the name should happen to be too un-euphonious. Would not this beautiful
+hall be a fine monument to bear the name of some considerate and
+generous giver?
+
+[Illustration: NEW HALL: DORMITORY FOR TEACHERS AND PUPILS.]
+
+Tillotson was chartered under the corporate name of "Institute." This
+charter has now expired, and since the institution has blossomed out
+with the possibilities of a college it is hoped that under the new
+charter it may bear the name of "College."
+
+It has the following departments: Common English, Normal, College
+Preparatory, College, Vocal and Instrumental Music, and Industrial, and
+a department for trained nurses. The faculty of the institution has
+consisted of the president, the normal principal, the industrial
+teacher, and ten other teachers. The boarding department is conducted
+upon the model of a Christian household. The intention is by no means
+simply to furnish rooms and meals for those who are in attendance, but
+also to inculcate ideas of right living and thinking, which are
+indispensable to true manhood and womanhood.
+
+In the Common English department the purpose is to prepare the pupils
+thoroughly for the practical duties of life.
+
+The College Preparatory gives a careful preparation in the way of
+language studies which will fit them to enter into the more generous
+course of study in which they may be fitted to be intelligent preachers
+and leaders of their race. The demand for college-educated men among the
+negroes is an intelligent one. This race cannot be elevated unless there
+can be raised a sufficient number of strong, earnest men, thoroughly
+trained intellectually, as well as morally; men who shall have a larger
+than a local vision, and who shall stand forth as representative leaders
+and teachers of those less fortunate than themselves.
+
+The Normal department adds the study of subjects and methods, for those
+who are preparing to become teachers among their own people.
+
+The Industrial includes not only manual instruction, but carpentry,
+blacksmithing and mechanical drawing for boys and young men, and also
+sewing and dressmaking for girls and young women.
+
+[Illustration: MANUAL INSTRUCTION SHOP.]
+
+For a young institution the record of Tillotson is excellent. There are
+few places in the great empire of Texas where it has not already become
+known through its pupils, or through teachers who have received their
+education within its walls.
+
+Being under the care of a distinctively Christian organization it
+carries out the intention of its founders in providing religious
+instruction for all who attend. Its Sunday School, its Christian
+Endeavor Societies, its social worship, its church service, its mission
+work, all intensify the religious influence and religious life.
+
+Tillotson is far away and needs friends who will give it help. It needs
+scholarships and professorships. It needs a library, chemical and
+philosophical apparatus, and a printing press. It needs gifts of
+bedding, tableware for the halls, and clothing for needy students.
+Friends, it needs your Christian sympathy and Christian prayers, that
+the great and blessed Teacher may dwell within its walls and in the
+hearts of the inmates.

+
+DEATH OF DR. TAYLOR.
+
+
+Nine years ago we were called upon to record the death of Governor
+Washburn, President of this Association. While he was seemingly in the
+fullness of life and while on the platform at the meeting of the
+American Board he suddenly and unexpectedly fell asleep in death. In a
+far different way did his successor, Rev. William M. Taylor, D.D., meet
+in quietude and with patient resignation the summons that called him
+home. The premonition of death came three years ago, and the march has
+been steady to the close. During these months his patience and sweet
+assurance have been as marked illustrations of the power of the Gospel
+as other graces were in his more active career.
+
+Dr. Taylor, long before he became President of this Association, took a
+deep interest in its work and brought to it his own personal influence
+and that of his large and wealthy congregation. As a presiding officer
+he was constant in his attendance, and by the dignity of his manner and
+his great force of character gave guidance and strength to the
+gatherings of our annual meeting. But Dr. Taylor was broad, and his
+sympathies went forth to every form of endeavor for the spread of the
+Gospel and the benefit of mankind. With a strong character derived from
+his Scottish ancestry, he had made his mark as a pastor in the growth of
+a church under his care in the old country. Nearly a quarter of a
+century ago he came to this city, and by his commanding eloquence, his
+pastoral gifts and the books which flowed from his pen, he has exerted a
+wide and salutary influence. On great occasions, at college
+anniversaries and at missionary and ecclesiastical gatherings, Dr.
+Taylor was one of the most acceptable and efficient speakers. One marked
+characteristic of Dr. Taylor came from his great heart, and mellowed and
+sweetened all his other powers. He has finished a glorious course, and
+has gone to his reward.

+REV. CHAS. C. PAINTER.
+
+
+The recent death of Prof. Painter has removed a most useful and
+efficient worker in behalf of the Indians. He died at his home in
+Washington, of heart disease, after an illness of only twelve hours. He
+was sixty-two years old, born in Virginia, but resident for most of his
+life in New England, where he was an acceptable pastor. He was called
+from that position into the service of the American Missionary
+Association, acting for a time as Professor in Fisk University. He,
+however, soon gave his life to promoting the education and civilization
+of the Indians, and for ten years was connected with the Indian Rights
+Association. It was a tribute to his knowledge and service in the Indian
+work that about a year ago he was appointed a member of the Board of
+Indian Commissioners.

+
+ONE MISSIONARY DAY.
+
+MISS S.E. OBER, EVARTS, KY.
+
+
+At work again. Back from the rest and change of the summer vacation.
+Leaving behind friends and home, comforts and pleasures, and nearly all
+the advantages of civilization. But coming to a greater joy, a higher
+privilege than any of these can afford--the "high calling" of our
+Master, to minister to poor, needy souls in His name.
+
+So with great happiness we gather up the loose threads and the dropped
+stitches of last year's work, and start anew. Come with us through one
+day, and taste a few of a missionary's joys. After our household tasks
+are over, and we have gained new power from our daily devotions, we
+start out on our work. Over one hundred boys and girls give us bright
+greetings as we ride past. We must go on horseback, as there are no
+_good_ roads in our vicinity.
+
+We are entirely compassed about with mountains; on every side they lift
+their grand heads in everlasting testimony of the wonderful handiwork of
+the Almighty. But we have little time to gaze upon their beauty, for
+more precious creations of the same great Hand are needing our
+attention.
+
+See this little hovel, built of rough logs, scarcely serving to keep out
+the wind or the rain. Let us enter. A most pitiful sight awaits us. The
+fever has been before us. For months it has raged, and two human souls
+have been taken from the family which dwells here. On a rude filthy bed
+lies the wasted frame of a once stalwart man. He is as feeble as the
+infant; a wan child is sitting near by. The mother, in tattered
+garments, totters about her work, so enfeebled by the disease that her
+strength is inadequate for her tasks. Three of the children are nothing
+but skeletons, and sit listlessly on the floor, taking but little
+notice of anything going on about them.
+
+The thin faces light up at sight of us, and a cordial welcome is
+extended. The only whole chair is brought forward for our use. You might
+expect a torrent of complaints from these poor creatures. But no,
+instead come words of praise to God that He had spared so many of their
+lives, that He had been _with_ them in their sufferings.
+
+A year ago, when we visited this hut, we found them stolid and
+indifferent, caring nothing for spiritual things. The woman sat smoking
+over the fire, scarcely vouchsafing us a word, and muttered to a crony,
+"Wot's thet thar woman nosing 'bout yere for? She'd er heap sight better
+let we uns erlone."
+
+It was very hard to ask permission to hold prayers with them in such a
+hostile atmosphere, but it is our duty to "sow beside _all_ waters," so
+we proffered our request.
+
+"Yer kin ef yer mines ter. I haint er carin'," was the ungracious reply.
+
+But what a change _now_. The woman's face glows with a light that only
+comes from the "light of the world." "God's been mighty good ter we
+uns," she says. "Ef hit hedn't ben fer Him we'd er died. An' we uns air
+bound ter do ez near right ez we kin, an' serve ther Lord, ther hull lot
+on us."
+
+Does it not make our own hearts glow to hear such words, and see the
+wonders God hath wrought? And with thanksgiving we read and pray with
+them, and strengthen their faith with God's Word. After noting their
+needs, and promising to supply them from the articles sent us by
+generous Northern friends, we go on to the next house.
+
+We find the same sad state of affairs; fever-worn men and women, wasted
+children, and starvation and want staring them in the face. But we find
+also the same great change. God's Spirit has been working among them,
+and hearts are softened and lives changed by His power. So we go from
+hut to hut, until the way becomes too steep to ride, and we leave our
+horses and climb, on foot, the lofty, rocky ridges.
+
+We find men who were reckless and bad ready to listen to God's Word, and
+in broken voices asking for prayers. We find women who have lived lives
+of open shame penitent and contrite, showing by their abandonment of
+their evil ways that they are sincere when they say, oh so earnestly,
+"We uns air tryin' ter do right."
+
+But all is not so encouraging. We must visit homes where vice reigns
+supreme; where women are lost to shame, and glory in their sin; where
+even the children have the "trail of the serpent" upon their young
+faces; where the men are brutal and beastly, and even sickness does not
+_touch_ them.
+
+Let us call at this old log house as we pass; nestled under a high
+cliff, with the creek flowing past, it looks like some ugly blot on the
+"face of nature." But it is a _school-house_. There is no window, no
+chimney, only a hole in the side of the house, opening into a sort of
+pen of rocks, in which the fire is built; an admirable arrangement to
+send all the heat out of doors, and the smoke into the house. Several
+rough benches (that do not invite to ease or comfort) and an ancient
+chair complete the furniture of the room. Several boards painted black
+form the "blackboards." Here we find two tattered urchins and three tiny
+girls, whose faces have evidently not made the acquaintance of soap and
+water for some days.
+
+The teacher is one of the advanced pupils of our academy--a bright young
+man, who will attend our school when his is completed. We ask where the
+rest of the scholars are.
+
+"Pulling fodder or stripping cane," is the reply. And the children have
+to work so much in the fields that they seldom have the chance of
+attending school. Out of fifty or sixty scholars only a very few ever
+attend these public schools. But it is growing late, and we have a long,
+rough way before us, so we spur on toward home, reaching it just as the
+glow of the sunset dies away from the last distant peak and the dusky
+twilight settles down over the whole land.
+
+A hurried supper and then to the church prayer meeting. Here are
+gathered quite a number, and we have a very good meeting, feeling the
+presence of our Saviour in our midst. So closes one of our days, and
+wearied in body, but refreshed and strengthened in spirit, we go to
+rest.

+
+SOUTHERN FIELD NOTES.
+
+REV. GEORGE W. MOORE.
+
+
+The mission station recently opened at La Pine, in the black belt of
+Alabama, is a door of hope to that needy people. The people came for
+miles around to greet the missionary and to hear the Gospel. At another
+point in Alabama we found a promising field which one of our theological
+graduates from Talladega had opened. He began the work in a rented hall
+at his own cost, and after he had gathered a congregation and found it a
+needy and at the same time a hopeful field he raised the "Macedonian
+cry" to the American Missionary Association for help. The Pauline
+heroism of this brother in preaching the Gospel in his own hired house
+is shared by our brethren in various parts of our Southern field. The
+work is so large and the needs of the people are so great that this
+spirit of Christ must be more fully expressed, both in gifts and
+service, to reach the pressing calls for help.
+
+I met three interesting characters in the black belt of Georgia. The
+first was named Moses. On meeting him he addressed me with "You don't
+knows me, does you? My name is Moses." His friend "Uncle Plenty" lived
+in a little cabin by the roadside. He had heard of the Association, and
+was glad to greet me as one of its missionaries. He told me that he felt
+so thankful for what the Northern friends had done for his people that
+he wished his little cabin and half acre lot to be bequeathed to the
+American Missionary Association. I dined with "Uncle Plenty" and met
+Father Joshua, a poor old blind man ninety years of age, in his cabin.
+They told me the story of their lives in slavery and how they had prayed
+to see this day of freedom and light.
+
+Moses and Joshua and "Uncle Plenty" are types of the old people and
+times that are giving place to a new generation and a brighter day.
+
+Among the new enterprises reported at the meeting of the Georgia
+Association at Thomasville, Ga., were two churches and several missions
+from the vicinity of Columbia, S.C.
+
+I spent Thanksgiving Day at Lowell, N.C. Our mission at this point is
+the only church in that vicinity. It was the first Thanksgiving service
+they had ever enjoyed or even heard of. It was held in a log cabin.
+
+Lowell is the center of a large negro settlement; the people have had a
+hard lot, and but little opportunity to improve their condition. They
+are very grateful to hear the Gospel.
+
+Forefather's day was observed by the Nashville churches in the
+theological hall of Fisk University. We "spiritual children" of the
+Pilgrims honor the fathers whose descendants have enriched us through
+the A.M.A. by the schools and churches that have been planted among us.
+The church at Lexington, Ky., had a season of "refreshing" in December,
+when several heads of families united with it. Howard church, Nashville,
+also had an awakening with good results. This church has increased its
+membership fifty per cent. in fifteen months. Jackson Street Church,
+Nashville, held a recognition service for its new pastor in January.
+
+We were glad to greet the churches and brethren of Louisiana after an
+absence from them of two years. The Spain Street Church at New Orleans
+held a series of Gospel meetings in which a number avowed their faith in
+the Saviour, and the church was strengthened.
+
+Straight University is crowded with an earnest class of students.
+
+This school is doing a great work for the people of Louisiana and
+surrounding States. In spite of the hard times, which are very severe in
+the South (laborers in Louisiana and some other States receive only
+fifty cents a day and board themselves), the people are making great
+sacrifices for the education of their children, and our pastors and
+teachers are making heroic struggles that the work in school and church
+may go forward.
+
+The need of the continuance of the work was never greater and the
+results of the service of our workers were never better. To retrench
+further at this time would not only cripple the work among the needy
+peoples of our field, but shut the door of opportunity in many places,
+and injure the people in their efforts to rise, and discourage our
+self-sacrificing missionaries. The people are grateful for these schools
+and churches and need more of them. We appeal to our Northern friends to
+come to the rescue of the American Missionary Association at this time.

+
+A SCHOOLBOY'S COMPOSITION.
+
+
+A little lad six years of age in the primary grade of Knox Institute,
+Athens, Ga., attended rhetoricals in which several pupils read
+compositions on the subject of America. He was greatly impressed, went
+home, and wrote without supervision the composition below. Although he
+has put the raccoon, lion and tiger among the birds, it is certainly a
+pretty good composition for the first one written by a child six years
+of age. Could any of the children six years old to whom THE AMERICAN
+MISSIONARY may come do better than this little black boy?
+
+AMERICA.
+
+America is a large country, and it has many large rivers, and it has
+many animals, and has wild creatures.
+
+America is a most important country. And many a people like to go there.
+And it has many wild birds--mocking birds, nightingale, raccoon, and
+also the opossum and lion, tiger, elephant, and the rhinoceros.
+
+And in America there are lakes, seas, and the bushes are so thick that
+you can hardly tell when a human is beside them.
+
+The States in America are so large that ten hundred can get in these.
+But if one of the animals was to seize you once you would never want to
+go there any more, for if one of them get hold of you you would hollow
+like anything. It would settle your hash. It would frighten you so much
+you never would want to see one of them.

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

+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE

+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO

+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be

+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+

+
+
+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.

+    <h3>FIELD NOTES.</h3>
+    <center>
+      BY SECRETARY RYDER.
+    </center>
+    <p>MOUNTAIN WORK.&mdash;A very interesting spiritual awakening seems to prevail
+    in many points of our mountain field. From a pastor of one of these
+    churches among our American Highlanders we have received the following:
+    "I have held meetings a couple of weeks, first at the church, and then
+    at the academy. A large number have been reached. The open meetings
+    disclosed the new life to all. We held daily meetings of prayer in the
+    evening, and a large percentage of the students attended. All took part.
+    The Y.P.S.C.E. has increased fourfold, and all the time is occupied in
+    their meetings, and often two or three arise to speak at once. Six names
+    were presented for active membership, and two for associate. The work is
+    not confined to this single church and academy.</p>
+    <p>"I went recently to another village and half a dozen committed
+    themselves for Christ. The Association needs an evangelist to visit
+    these fields. Audiences fill the churches, most of them people who are
+    out of Christ. All that prevents meeting this crying want of these
+    mountain people in supplying to them more intelligent and consecrated
+    ministers of the Gospel is the lack of money consecrated and given to
+<a name="page90" id="page90"></a><span class="newpage">[pg 90]</span>
+    this great service. This mountain field is now ripe to the harvest.
+    Will not the churches multiply their gifts so that we can send into this
+    harvest field more devoted men who are ready to go if they can do their
+    work and simply be supported?"</p>
+    <hr />
+    <p>The hard times and the difficulty of the mountain people to get clothing
+    is illustrated in the following, which comes to us in a recent
+    missionary letter from this mountain field:</p>
+    <p>"There would have been much more suffering had it not been for the
+    clothing which has gone out from this school. When seven chickens bring
+    only thirty-five cents the poor mountain people do not have much
+    chance."</p>
+    <hr />
+    <p>A pastor of the Association among our American Highlanders writes as
+    follows: "This has been a most blessed and glorious season of
+    refreshing. In the bounds of my work this fall and winter I have held
+    and assisted in meetings which have in all resulted in something more
+    than 100 hopeful conversions. My work now is especially to care for and
+    look after the welfare of these precious souls lately brought to Christ
+    and to give as much time as possible to my studies."</p>
+    <hr />
+    <p>INDIAN WORK.&mdash;Our friends will remember the appeal made by Rev. James F.
+    Cross, of Rosebud Agency, S.D., at our annual meeting at Elgin, Ill.,
+    for a chapel to be built at Cedar Butte, S.D. President Gates, moved by
+    the appeal, took it up so enthusiastically that nearly $400 came from
+    him and other generous givers. The Indians drew the logs and have just
+    erected the chapel under the direction of Superintendent Cross. A note
+    just received from the field contains the following, which abundantly
+    proves the wisdom of opening this new station at Cedar Butte and helping
+    the Indians in the erection of their church: "Last week I was up to
+    Cedar Butte church. It was the first time since it was built that I have
+    been there for service. I received two young men into the church. It was
+    a warm day and the thermometer has not been ten degrees away from zero,
+    except to go thirteen below, since." This chapel at Cedar Butte is the
+    center of a new work, and this message brings the hopefulness of the
+    field.</p>
+    <hr />
+    <p>"We received five grown persons to our church fellowship on Sunday, and
+    two children were baptized. Three Christian Indian families were
+    constituted by Christian marriage at the same time. Praise God!" So
+    writes Supt. C.L. Hall, of Fort Berthold Indian Mission, N.D.</p>

+    <h3>ARE THEY GRATEFUL?</h3>
+    <center>
+     REV. CHAS. F. SARGENT, THOMASVILLE, GA.
+    </center>
+    <p>Very often we are asked if the people among whom we labor are grateful
+    for the work that is done for and among them&mdash;whether there is
+    self-denial on their part in helping themselves in church and school
+    work.</p>
+    <p>It is very important that we should have some expression on their part
+    in regard to this. There are many incidents in which grateful
+    acknowledgment is made. A few incidents will best answer the above
+    question.</p>
+    <p>A little more than a mile from here there lives in an almost
+    uninhabitable cabin an old lady who is called "Aunt Eliza." I saw her
+    first one cold day last winter, when I called and found her in bed sick
+    with pneumonia. We ministered unto her as we best could, providing
+    medicine, food and clothing.</p>
+    <p>From a missionary barrel garments were obtained which helped to make her
+    body comfortable. She depended on the kindness of a neighbor to gather
+    sticks for her and draw water. At times there was only enough fire in
+    the fire-place to give a faint glimmer, not enough to make the room
+    cheerful. Aunt Eliza is old and crippled, and it was only with much care
+    and patient waiting that in the goodness of God she was restored to
+    health. Some time passed after her recovery before I saw her. She came
+    to our house on a hot summer day to bring an offering of gratitude for
+    God's mercy in giving her back health and strength. She brought to us in
+    a corner of her handkerchief fifty-five cents which she had saved from
+    little gifts from children and grandchildren nearly as poor as herself.
+    She had at this time only meal enough in her house to make one "pone" of
+    bread. Gratefully she urged upon us her self-denying gift of
+    thanksgiving. Of course we accepted it, only to return it to her in the
+    name of the Master, who is the Great Gift Giver. Later in the season our
+    sister remembered us again. She had saved for us two chickens, but a
+    "<i>conjuror</i>" came along and said he would tell her fortune for them. He
+    succeeded in "<i>beating</i>" her out of her offering for the Lord, and in
+    return she received nothing. She came and told us all about it. This
+    good woman did not rest until she brought us one at a time the chickens
+    that she had promised. When the Association met with us a few days ago
+    she brought, as her part to help, a few eggs. There are other incidents
+    in her life which are interesting, but we cannot tell them all now. She
+    certainly is grateful and gives the "widow's mite" in giving all that
+    she has. She has been to our church and been blessed in meeting God in
+    the sanctuary. The first Sunday that she came she bowed and courtesied
+    to the people as she came in, much to their amusement.</p>

+    <h3>A PIONEER MISSIONARY IN AFRICA.</h3>
+    <div class="figleft">
+      <a href="images/image92_full.jpg"><img src="images/image92_thumbnail.jpg" alt="REV. GEORGE THOMPSON." /></a>
+      <center>REV. GEORGE THOMPSON.</center>
+    </div>
+    <p>Rev. George Thompson was early enlisted as a missionary in the Mendi
+    Mission on the west coast of Africa. He had been a most ardent friend of
+    the slave, active in aiding their escape from the house of
+    bondage, and as a consequence had spent five years in the Missouri State Prison.
+    He went to Africa in 1848 under the commission of the American Missionary
+    Association, and proved himself to be remarkably useful. One of his most
+    far-reaching efforts was in the work as a peacemaker. A fierce and
+    unrelenting war had been raging among the tribes around the mission, and
+    this was brought to a close through the wise and persistent efforts of
+    Mr. Thompson. He was chosen umpire for the contending chiefs, and after
+    repeated and wearying excursions, and ten interviews or councils with
+    both parties, he at length succeeded. Then came the joy which peace
+    brings. Warriors met and fell on each other's necks; chiefs, who were
+    for years enemies, now shook hands and embraced each other with the
+    affection of long-separated friends; sisters, wives and daughters, long
+    captives, fell into each other's arms, weeping for joy. A chief's
+    daughter was seen running to embrace her father's feet, a wife hastened
+    to welcome her husband and children, and entire towns were filled with
+    cries of gladness. The beatitude, "Blessed are the peacemakers," belongs
+    to Mr. Thompson.</p>
+    <p>Ill health at length compelled Mr. Thompson to relinquish the work in
+    Africa, and in 1856 he returned to Oberlin, Ohio, where he spent five
+    years in publishing his book on Africa, entitled, "Palm Land," and in
+    educating two boys whom he brought with him from Africa. In 1861 he
+    removed with his family to northwestern Michigan, where he labored as a
+    home missionary for eighteen years, being the pastor for fifteen years
+    of a church which he established. He then returned to Oberlin, where he
+    remained until his death in 1893. In all these years Mr. Thompson was a
+    laborious and useful man, actively engaged in awakening the
+<a name="page93" id="page93"></a><span class="newpage">[pg 93]</span>
+    churches to an interest in Africa, in writing his books and educating his children.
+    In his later years, while living in Oberlin, he was abundant in labors
+    in connection with Sunday-schools and feeble churches in Ohio and other
+    States.</p>

+    <h3>A PIONEER MISSIONARY AMONG THE INDIANS.</h3>
+    <div class="figright">
+      <a href="images/image93_full.jpg"><img src="images/image93_thumbnail.jpg"
+      alt="REV. S.G. WRIGHT." /></a>
+      <center>REV. S.G. WRIGHT.</center>
+    </div>
+    <p>In 1843 a number of young men from Oberlin entered upon a mission among
+    the Ojibway Indians in the northern part of what is now Minnesota, under
+    the auspices of the Western Evangelical Missionary Society, which was
+    soon afterward transferred to the American Missionary Association. Of
+    the inaccessibility of this field, a competent authority has said:
+    "There is probably no missionary field to-day on the face of the earth more
+    difficult to reach than this was at that time."</p>
+
+    <p>Among this group of missionaries was Rev. S.G. Wright. As a part of his
+    experience it is said that after a short visit at home, Mr. Wright
+    returned to the mission taking his young wife with him&mdash;their wedding
+    tour. It was a journey of over a month made in a canoe. They were both
+    compelled to walk at intervals twenty-two miles in the swamps along the
+    side of the stream until they reached Mr. Barnard's station. These walks
+    were varied by sickness; Mr. Wright sometimes had chills every day, but
+    at Mr. Barnard's station he recovered. There remained yet twenty miles
+    of their journey, and this was undertaken on foot, but soon a storm
+    brought five inches of snow. Mr. Wright says: "My wife was very lame,
+    and what woman would not be after walking twenty long miles through mire
+    and water, over high hills and through gullies, in snow from four to
+    five inches deep?"</p>
+    <p>The change wrought by these missionaries can be indicated in a sentence:
+    When they went there the Indians cultivated almost no land and their
+    only domestic animals were dogs. They maintained a precarious
+<a name="page94" id="page94"></a><span class="newpage">[pg 94]</span>
+    existence by hunting and fishing, and the gathering of wild rice, with starvation
+    as no uncommon experience. In a few years these Indians raised their own
+    supplies of corn and potatoes, with some to sell to procure other
+    necessaries; they began to build houses for themselves; had the benefit
+    of a saw mill and a grist mill, with the blessings of a church and
+    boarding school.</p>
+    <p>The Association withdrew from the mission in 1859, but Mr. Wright
+    returned under other auspices, and spent several years in effective and
+    useful work. He still lives and is active in Christian labors as a
+    member of the church in Oberlin.</p>

+    <h3>A SOUTHERN JOURNEY.</h3>
+    <center>
+     BY SECRETARY A.F. BEARD.
+    </center>
+    <p>It included every Southern State in extent from Virginia to Texas, and
+    from Texas to Florida. It was a study of schools, their methods and
+    attainments; it was the acquaintance of new teachers and their work, the
+    greeting of those who have become old friends, the look into the eyes of
+    more colored youth in schools than usually falls to one person. It was a
+    comparative study of classes of all grades in schools of the same grade,
+    and of schools in different States and environments. It was an
+    examination of industries in agriculture, industries in mechanics, of
+    schools, normal and collegiate. It was an inspection of properties; an
+    inquiry as to the prices of paints and brick and lime and wall papers.</p>
+    <p>It was a visit to churches, a handshake with pastors and deacons, a
+    gathering of congregations to "make their wants and wishes known" to
+    "the Association." One soon learns that the correct use of the definite
+    article to designate the A.M.A. is not confined to those who have
+    studied grammar. There is only one Association for these people. They
+    never call it "American" nor even "Missionary." "The" is all sufficient,
+    and it does one good to hear his society thus alphabetically
+    abbreviated, as it does to meet these warm-hearted brethren of the
+    colored churches which have been nourished with life by "The"
+    Association. If anyone is suffering from iciness in the cardiac region,
+    there is no better place for him to get the cockles of his heart well
+    warmed up than in some of the colored congregations' churches which I
+    visited. I said some. Alas! there is a difference in churches&mdash;in the
+    South.</p>
+    <p>I find the schools full of interest, and that in the higher institutions
+    the girls and young women are side by side in nearly equal numbers with
+    lads and young men in climbing up the steep hills of education. It is,
+    indeed, climbing. It takes more time, more patience and more resolution
+    than most white students with happier conditions can realize.</p>
+    <p>The characteristics of the student are changing somewhat from the
+<a name="page95" id="page95"></a><span class="newpage">[pg 95]</span>
+    former days. Pupils are pushing into the more advanced grades earlier
+    in years. They have not the memories of slavery as had the generations
+    before them&mdash;only the traditions of it, and certain of its
+    influences&mdash;for influences do not die when institutions pass away. There
+    is not, for example, much old-fashioned Puritanism stalking about in New
+    York in these days, but considerable of Puritan influence is alive and
+    is just now contributing to the hopefulness of the times and the
+    interests of municipal reform and even of the State government.
+    Influences continue, and it will take time for those of slavery or the
+    effect on both races to pass away.</p>
+    <p>One may not particularize among so many schools and churches as were in
+    the path of my visitation, and one must generalize if he will keep
+    within limits. For ten years now it has been my privilege to study the
+    South as a personal observer, not only in schools and churches and not
+    only on the regular routes of travel, but in the bypaths of rural life
+    and in talks with all classes and conditions of men of every shade of
+    color. I may, therefore, be permitted to generalize.</p>
+    <p>First, it is often said that those who live among evils best understand
+    them and know how to meet them. This is a fallacy. The missionaries in
+    China knew better what was for the good of China than did the Emperor
+    himself. There are people in the United States, also, who could give
+    some good points to the new Emperor of Russia, and if he would take them
+    and use them it would be for the advantage of that country. It is true
+    that impressions are not facts, and one cannot run over a fashionable
+    route of travel holding converse with some hospitable Southern host and
+    return with much more than impressions. Such are likely to speak with
+    more confidence than knowledge, but, on the other hand, one who confines
+    himself to a single locality in the South and to the local facts is more
+    likely to have his views lean to inclination than to truth. One's
+    opinion ought to be estimated by his information. I have known an
+    otherwise intelligent citizen of New Orleans to be ignorant of the
+    existence of Straight University with its 500 students and its noble
+    accomplishment. A citizen of New York in this case could give the
+    citizen of New Orleans some information about the South.</p>
+    <p>Secondly, the negroes are gaining. Never were the schools better in
+    their entire range in different States, the studies more exacting, the
+    purpose on the part of students for mastery in their work more resolute.
+    Never was there manifested a more self-reliant spirit. The people are
+    having a hard time just now; many are poorer than ever before, but the
+    negroes are gaining, inch by inch. There are millions in schools and
+    unreached millions yet who could not read a word in the New Testament if
+    they had one; but the gain is seen in many ways; in schools, in
+    churches, in homes, and in the improved quality and character of the
+<a name="page96" id="page96"></a><span class="newpage">[pg 96]</span>
+    newspapers edited by colored men, as also in their increased numbers.
+    The schools under the direction and superintendence of colored teachers
+    are gaining in standing and worthiness.</p>
+    <p>Thirdly, the white South is gaining. Not very rapidly, but gaining. The
+    lawless part of the South&mdash;and there is a lawless part&mdash;is as lawless as
+    ever. The lower and more violent elements, however, are but a small part
+    of the Southern people. Still they know that the general public opinion
+    is not positive enough to condemn them in any question between the
+    negroes and the whites; hence they are not afraid to do what they will
+    with the negro. The great body of the Southern people are law-abiding,
+    with the single exception that they do not propose to respect the
+    Fifteenth Amendment. They are committed against this. They deprecate
+    lawlessness. They are personally kind to the negroes. They are busy in
+    the ordinary duties of life, but the lawless know that these good people
+    will never disturb them in their injustices to the negro. Then, there is
+    a relatively small element of the people who are prophets of a better
+    day. They themselves often feel the slavery of a public opinion which
+    puts odium upon them when they are too friendly in behalf of the
+    oppressed colored man. They cannot oppose many things which they feel to
+    be wrong without losing their influence. These seers of the future are
+    in hearty sympathy with our work and give it such personal encouragement
+    as they may under the tyrannical conditions of a public opinion not
+    friendly to equal rights on the part of the negro.</p>
+    <p>There is a great gain, also, in Southern public opinion as to the
+    capacity of the colored man and his possible future. This gain is seen
+    in the better provisions for the colored public schools, in towns and
+    cities. The schools of the A.M.A. are both object lessons and incentives
+    for the education of the white as well as the colored in the public
+    schools. The South is exceedingly sensitive as to the opinion of the
+    North. A trifle of published criticism, for example, goes through the
+    Southern papers with rebuttals enough to break down a national
+    constitution. An imperfect and incorrect report of an interview, which
+    lived just long enough to be printed, has been lately passionately
+    confuted in certain Southern newspapers with a profusion of epithets
+    which were out of all proportion to the harmless nonsense committed to
+    the press by an untrained reporter&mdash;a new illustration of the extreme
+    sensitiveness of the South to Northern opinion. Northern sentiment is
+    often ridiculed, and frequently sends not a few Southern newspapers into
+    spasms, but it is heeded. Let it be kindly and true, and pressed
+    fraternally and constantly "In His Name" who came</p>
+    <blockquote>
+      "To take away transgressions<br />
+      And set the captive free."

+    <h3>THE VALUE OF PURE AND INTELLIGENT CHURCHES.</h3>
+    <p>The extract given below has the true ring. It is from one of the pastors
+    of the American Missionary Association educated at Tougaloo and Howard
+    Theological Seminary. If sometimes our church work seems small and
+    discouraging there are many things to be remembered. Many times we are
+    told by the pastors of our churches "we could have larger churches and
+    more of them if we would accept the standards of those about us."
+    Moreover, some little church with fifty members may be doing more for
+    the cause of Christ than some big church of ten times the number. But,
+    read the extract:</p>
+    <p>"In the battle of Milliken's Bend, a color bearer was seen far in
+    advance of his company. The captain shouted to him, 'Bring those colors
+    back to the army!' The reply was sent back, 'Bring the army up to the
+    colors.'</p>
+    <p>"Just so, in the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee,
+    and the South generally, our church is lifting up the standard, and
+    although men are constantly trying to get the standard bearer to fall
+    back to the army of biased, narrow humanity, the church ever shouts back
+    the reply of the immortal color bearer, 'Bring the army up to the
+    colors.'</p>
+    <p>"Every man and woman going out from our schools is imbued with the
+    thought that he or she is to hold up the standard of God&mdash;not man&mdash;for
+    the people. Every church, school or mission fostered by the A.M.A. is
+    holding up the highest ideals of all life. And while our work does not
+    grow in numbers as rapidly as we could wish, we are broadcasting the
+    good seeds of the Kingdom over all the land, and here and there they are
+    springing into life, bringing forth fruit&mdash;some thirty, some sixty, and
+    some an hundred fold; so we go on grinding out the grist ever and anon
+    holding one for toll. I am not ignorant of what other churches are
+    doing, and some are doing nobly, but ours is the great work. It has been
+    my observation, that wherever an enterprising work is being carried on

+    <h3>TILLOTSON, AUSTIN, TEXAS.</h3>
+    <center>
+     BY SECRETARY A.F. BEARD.
+    </center>
+    <p>In the year 1875 the Rev. George J. Tillotson, of Connecticut, visited
+    various points of the South with a view to the establishment of a
+    school. He was accompanied by a secretary of the Association. After a
+    careful survey they selected Austin, Texas, as the most promising point.
+    About twenty-five acres of partially wooded land just beyond the eastern
+    boundary of the city of Austin were purchased for $5,000, the gift of
+    Mr. Tillotson. In the following year a charter was obtained and the work
+    of raising money for the building was entered upon. The funds were
+    finally secured, and in 1879 the foundations were laid, and the
+    building, 104 feet in length and 42 in depth, constructed of white
+    pressed brick with dress stone trimmings, rose to its five stories in
+    height. On the 17th of January, 1881, the school opened. Two of the five
+    floors were then open spaces. Eleven pupils only were enrolled at the
+    beginning, but the term closed in June with 107. During this year the
+    building was completed and named "Allen Hall," in honor of one of the
+    largest givers. At the opening of the fall term the beginning of the
+    next year, the accommodations were taxed to the utmost. In August, 1882,
+    the report reads, "Allen Hall is full to repletion, 100 in the boarding
+    department. Work cannot unfold for need of more room. Young men and
+    young women in the same building make an urgent appeal for a new
+    building."</p>
+    <p>At no time since the beginning of the second year have there been
+    adequate accommodations for all desiring to attend.</p>
+    <p>For ten years the institution under the name of "Tillotson Collegiate
+    and Normal Institute" has furnished to students from all parts of the
+    great State of Texas with its half million of colored people, and from
+    other States, and from Mexico, not only an opportunity to acquire a
+    thoroughly practical common-school education, but also a more extended
+    course to prepare students for entrance to the highest educational
+    institutions in the land; and a normal training course for teachers for
+    all positions in the public schools. Within this period of time a church
+    has been formed for the students of the institution and others, which
+    has been regularly ministered to by the president of the institution.</p>
+    <p>In the year 1888 a building for carpentry and manual instruction was
+    erected and a teacher was appointed for industrial training.</p>
+    <p>The picture following is that of Allen Hall as it looks down upon the
+    valley of the river Colorado. In every direction the views are of great
+    extent, and include many picturesque scenes. The State capitol&mdash;a mile
+    distant&mdash;and the various public buildings of Austin, are before the eye.
+    Since electricity has been introduced, Austin by
+<a name="page99" id="page99"></a><span class="newpage">[pg 99]</span>
+    night presents a
+    brilliant outlook from the grounds of the institution, but the light
+    which shines from these buildings on the hill sends its beams farther
+    than those of the electric plant, and pierces a denser darkness than
+    that of night.</p>

+      <center>ALLEN HALL.</center>
+    </div>
+    <p>The industrial buildings&mdash;viz., the shop for carpentry, another for
+    blacksmithing, for repairing of vehicles, and for painting&mdash;are at a
+    suitable distance in the rear on the "boys' side" of the grounds. Below
+    them are located the barn, wagon house, hennery, etc.</p>
+    <p>On the crest of a second eminence, several hundred feet from "Allen
+    Hall," is the attractive new building (<a href="#page100p">see picture,
+    page 100</a>) used as a
+    dormitory for teachers and young women pupils. In this building are the
+    culinary department also, and the dining room for each hall. There are
+    forty dormitory rooms in this hall which will accommodate sixty pupils
+    and their teachers. In addition to its dining-hall for all the pupils
+    within the institution there are reading and sewing rooms, etc., which
+    add to its completeness. There are not many school buildings anywhere
+    with more diversified landscape and beautiful natural surroundings than
+    those of Tillotson. Encompassed by oak trees large enough for shade and
+    shelter, but not over-towering the prospect, free from the distracting
+    noises and dust of the streets, and yet possessing all the advantages of
+    a thrifty and beautiful city, the student at Tillotson will have at
+    least one period in life that may not be commiserated.</p>
+<a name="page100" id="page100"></a><span class="newpage">[pg 100]</span>
+    <p>This new building has not yet been duly named, and if anyone of those
+    who may read this sketch will give $1,000 to be used as an endowment
+    fund, the interest to be applied year by year as long as the school
+    stands, we shall be glad to name this new hall after the giver, unless
+    the name should happen to be too un-euphonious. Would not this beautiful
+    hall be a fine monument to bear the name of some considerate and
+    generous giver?</p>

+      <center>NEW HALL: DORMITORY FOR TEACHERS AND PUPILS.</center>
+    </div>
+    <p>Tillotson was chartered under the corporate name of "Institute." This
+    charter has now expired, and since the institution has blossomed out
+    with the possibilities of a college it is hoped that under the new
+    charter it may bear the name of "College."</p>
+    <p>It has the following departments: Common English, Normal, College
+    Preparatory, College, Vocal and Instrumental Music, and Industrial, and
+    a department for trained nurses. The faculty of the institution has
+    consisted of the president, the normal principal, the industrial
+    teacher, and ten other teachers. The boarding department is conducted
+    upon the model of a Christian household. The intention is by no means
+    simply to furnish rooms and meals for those who are in attendance, but
+    also to inculcate ideas of right living and thinking, which are
+    indispensable to true manhood and womanhood.</p>
+<a name="page101" id="page101"></a><span class="newpage">[pg 101]</span>
+    <p>In the Common English department the purpose is to prepare the pupils
+    thoroughly for the practical duties of life.</p>
+    <p>The College Preparatory gives a careful preparation in the way of
+    language studies which will fit them to enter into the more generous
+    course of study in which they may be fitted to be intelligent preachers
+    and leaders of their race. The demand for college-educated men among the
+    negroes is an intelligent one. This race cannot be elevated unless there
+    can be raised a sufficient number of strong, earnest men, thoroughly
+    trained intellectually, as well as morally; men who shall have a larger
+    than a local vision, and who shall stand forth as representative leaders
+    and teachers of those less fortunate than themselves.</p>
+    <p>The Normal department adds the study of subjects and methods, for those
+    who are preparing to become teachers among their own people.</p>
+    <p>The Industrial includes not only manual instruction, but carpentry,
+    blacksmithing and mechanical drawing for boys and young men, and also
+    sewing and dressmaking for girls and young women.</p>

+    <p>For a young institution the record of Tillotson is excellent. There are
+    few places in the great empire of Texas where it has not already become
+    known through its pupils, or through teachers who have received their
+    education within its walls.</p>
+<a name="page102" id="page102"></a><span class="newpage">[pg 102]</span>
+    <p>Being under the care of a distinctively Christian organization it
+    carries out the intention of its founders in providing religious
+    instruction for all who attend. Its Sunday School, its Christian
+    Endeavor Societies, its social worship, its church service, its mission
+    work, all intensify the religious influence and religious life.</p>
+    <p>Tillotson is far away and needs friends who will give it help. It needs
+    scholarships and professorships. It needs a library, chemical and
+    philosophical apparatus, and a printing press. It needs gifts of
+    bedding, tableware for the halls, and clothing for needy students.
+    Friends, it needs your Christian sympathy and Christian prayers, that
+    the great and blessed Teacher may dwell within its walls and in the
+    hearts of the inmates.</p>

+    <h3>DEATH OF DR. TAYLOR.</h3>
+    <p>Nine years ago we were called upon to record the death of Governor
+    Washburn, President of this Association. While he was seemingly in the
+    fullness of life and while on the platform at the meeting of the
+    American Board he suddenly and unexpectedly fell asleep in death. In a
+    far different way did his successor, Rev. William M. Taylor, D.D., meet
+    in quietude and with patient resignation the summons that called him
+    home. The premonition of death came three years ago, and the march has
+    been steady to the close. During these months his patience and sweet
+    assurance have been as marked illustrations of the power of the Gospel
+    as other graces were in his more active career.</p>
+    <p>Dr. Taylor, long before he became President of this Association, took a
+    deep interest in its work and brought to it his own personal influence
+    and that of his large and wealthy congregation. As a presiding officer
+    he was constant in his attendance, and by the dignity of his manner and
+    his great force of character gave guidance and strength to the
+    gatherings of our annual meeting. But Dr. Taylor was broad, and his
+    sympathies went forth to every form of endeavor for the spread of the
+    Gospel and the benefit of mankind. With a strong character derived from
+    his Scottish ancestry, he had made his mark as a pastor in the growth of
+    a church under his care in the old country. Nearly a quarter of a
+    century ago he came to this city, and by his commanding eloquence, his
+    pastoral gifts and the books which flowed from his pen, he has exerted a
+    wide and salutary influence. On great occasions, at college
+    anniversaries and at missionary and ecclesiastical gatherings, Dr.
+    Taylor was one of the most acceptable and efficient speakers. One marked
+    characteristic of Dr. Taylor came from his great heart, and mellowed and
+    sweetened all his other powers. He has finished a glorious course, and
+    has gone to his reward.</p>

+    <h3>REV. CHAS. C. PAINTER.</h3>
+    <p>The recent death of Prof. Painter has removed a most useful and
+    efficient worker in behalf of the Indians. He died at his home in
+    Washington, of heart disease, after an illness of only twelve hours. He
+    was sixty-two years old, born in Virginia, but resident for most of his
+    life in New England, where he was an acceptable pastor. He was called
+    from that position into the service of the American Missionary
+    Association, acting for a time as Professor in Fisk University. He,
+    however, soon gave his life to promoting the education and civilization
+    of the Indians, and for ten years was connected with the Indian Rights
+    Association. It was a tribute to his knowledge and service in the Indian
+    work that about a year ago he was appointed a member of the Board of
+    Indian Commissioners.</p>

+    <h3>ONE MISSIONARY DAY.</h3>
+    <center>
+     MISS S.E. OBER, EVARTS, KY.
+    </center>
+    <p>At work again. Back from the rest and change of the summer vacation.
+    Leaving behind friends and home, comforts and pleasures, and nearly all
+    the advantages of civilization. But coming to a greater joy, a higher
+    privilege than any of these can afford&mdash;the "high calling" of our
+    Master, to minister to poor, needy souls in His name.</p>
+    <p>So with great happiness we gather up the loose threads and the dropped
+    stitches of last year's work, and start anew. Come with us through one
+    day, and taste a few of a missionary's joys. After our household tasks
+    are over, and we have gained new power from our daily devotions, we
+    start out on our work. Over one hundred boys and girls give us bright
+    greetings as we ride past. We must go on horseback, as there are no
+    <i>good</i> roads in our vicinity.</p>
+    <p>We are entirely compassed about with mountains; on every side they lift
+    their grand heads in everlasting testimony of the wonderful handiwork of
+    the Almighty. But we have little time to gaze upon their beauty, for
+    more precious creations of the same great Hand are needing our
+    attention.</p>
+    <p>See this little hovel, built of rough logs, scarcely serving to keep out
+    the wind or the rain. Let us enter. A most pitiful sight awaits us. The
+    fever has been before us. For months it has raged, and two human souls
+    have been taken from the family which dwells here. On a rude filthy bed
+    lies the wasted frame of a once stalwart man. He is as feeble as the
+    infant; a wan child is sitting near by. The mother, in tattered
+    garments, totters about her work, so enfeebled by the disease that her
+    strength is inadequate for her tasks. Three of the children are nothing
+<a name="page104" id="page104"></a><span class="newpage">[pg 104]</span>
+    but skeletons, and sit listlessly on the floor, taking but little
+    notice of anything going on about them.</p>
+    <p>The thin faces light up at sight of us, and a cordial welcome is
+    extended. The only whole chair is brought forward for our use. You might
+    expect a torrent of complaints from these poor creatures. But no,
+    instead come words of praise to God that He had spared so many of their
+    lives, that He had been <i>with</i> them in their sufferings.</p>
+    <p>A year ago, when we visited this hut, we found them stolid and
+    indifferent, caring nothing for spiritual things. The woman sat smoking
+    over the fire, scarcely vouchsafing us a word, and muttered to a crony,
+    "Wot's thet thar woman nosing 'bout yere for? She'd er heap sight better
+    let we uns erlone."</p>
+    <p>It was very hard to ask permission to hold prayers with them in such a
+    hostile atmosphere, but it is our duty to "sow beside <i>all</i> waters," so
+    we proffered our request.</p>
+    <p>"Yer kin ef yer mines ter. I haint er carin'," was the ungracious reply.</p>
+    <p>But what a change <i>now</i>. The woman's face glows with a light that only
+    comes from the "light of the world." "God's been mighty good ter we
+    uns," she says. "Ef hit hedn't ben fer Him we'd er died. An' we uns air
+    bound ter do ez near right ez we kin, an' serve ther Lord, ther hull lot
+    on us."</p>
+    <p>Does it not make our own hearts glow to hear such words, and see the
+    wonders God hath wrought? And with thanksgiving we read and pray with
+    them, and strengthen their faith with God's Word. After noting their
+    needs, and promising to supply them from the articles sent us by
+    generous Northern friends, we go on to the next house.</p>
+    <p>We find the same sad state of affairs; fever-worn men and women, wasted
+    children, and starvation and want staring them in the face. But we find
+    also the same great change. God's Spirit has been working among them,
+    and hearts are softened and lives changed by His power. So we go from
+    hut to hut, until the way becomes too steep to ride, and we leave our
+    horses and climb, on foot, the lofty, rocky ridges.</p>
+    <p>We find men who were reckless and bad ready to listen to God's Word, and
+    in broken voices asking for prayers. We find women who have lived lives
+    of open shame penitent and contrite, showing by their abandonment of
+    their evil ways that they are sincere when they say, oh so earnestly,
+    "We uns air tryin' ter do right."</p>
+    <p>But all is not so encouraging. We must visit homes where vice reigns
+    supreme; where women are lost to shame, and glory in their sin; where
+    even the children have the "trail of the serpent" upon their young
+    faces; where the men are brutal and beastly, and even sickness does not
+    <i>touch</i> them.</p>
+<a name="page105" id="page105"></a><span class="newpage">[pg 105]</span>
+    <p>Let us call at this old log house as we pass; nestled under a high
+    cliff, with the creek flowing past, it looks like some ugly blot on the
+    "face of nature." But it is a <i>school-house</i>. There is no window, no
+    chimney, only a hole in the side of the house, opening into a sort of
+    pen of rocks, in which the fire is built; an admirable arrangement to
+    send all the heat out of doors, and the smoke into the house. Several
+    rough benches (that do not invite to ease or comfort) and an ancient
+    chair complete the furniture of the room. Several boards painted black
+    form the "blackboards." Here we find two tattered urchins and three tiny
+    girls, whose faces have evidently not made the acquaintance of soap and
+    water for some days.</p>
+    <p>The teacher is one of the advanced pupils of our academy&mdash;a bright young
+    man, who will attend our school when his is completed. We ask where the
+    rest of the scholars are.</p>
+    <p>"Pulling fodder or stripping cane," is the reply. And the children have
+    to work so much in the fields that they seldom have the chance of
+    attending school. Out of fifty or sixty scholars only a very few ever
+    attend these public schools. But it is growing late, and we have a long,
+    rough way before us, so we spur on toward home, reaching it just as the
+    glow of the sunset dies away from the last distant peak and the dusky
+    twilight settles down over the whole land.</p>
+    <p>A hurried supper and then to the church prayer meeting. Here are
+    gathered quite a number, and we have a very good meeting, feeling the
+    presence of our Saviour in our midst. So closes one of our days, and
+    wearied in body, but refreshed and strengthened in spirit, we go to
+    rest.</p>

+    <h3>SOUTHERN FIELD NOTES.</h3>
+    <center>
+     REV. GEORGE W. MOORE.
+    </center>
+    <p>The mission station recently opened at La Pine, in the black belt of
+    Alabama, is a door of hope to that needy people. The people came for
+    miles around to greet the missionary and to hear the Gospel. At another
+    point in Alabama we found a promising field which one of our theological
+    graduates from Talladega had opened. He began the work in a rented hall
+    at his own cost, and after he had gathered a congregation and found it a
+    needy and at the same time a hopeful field he raised the "Macedonian
+    cry" to the American Missionary Association for help. The Pauline
+    heroism of this brother in preaching the Gospel in his own hired house
+    is shared by our brethren in various parts of our Southern field. The
+    work is so large and the needs of the people are so great
+<a name="page106" id="page106"></a><span class="newpage">[pg 106]</span>
+    that this spirit of Christ must be more fully expressed, both in
+    gifts and service, to reach the pressing calls for help.</p>
+    <p>I met three interesting characters in the black belt of Georgia. The
+    first was named Moses. On meeting him he addressed me with "You don't
+    knows me, does you? My name is Moses." His friend "Uncle Plenty" lived
+    in a little cabin by the roadside. He had heard of the Association, and
+    was glad to greet me as one of its missionaries. He told me that he felt
+    so thankful for what the Northern friends had done for his people that
+    he wished his little cabin and half acre lot to be bequeathed to the
+    American Missionary Association. I dined with "Uncle Plenty" and met
+    Father Joshua, a poor old blind man ninety years of age, in his cabin.
+    They told me the story of their lives in slavery and how they had prayed
+    to see this day of freedom and light.</p>
+    <p>Moses and Joshua and "Uncle Plenty" are types of the old people and
+    times that are giving place to a new generation and a brighter day.</p>
+    <p>Among the new enterprises reported at the meeting of the Georgia
+    Association at Thomasville, Ga., were two churches and several missions
+    from the vicinity of Columbia, S.C.</p>
+    <p>I spent Thanksgiving Day at Lowell, N.C. Our mission at this point is
+    the only church in that vicinity. It was the first Thanksgiving service
+    they had ever enjoyed or even heard of. It was held in a log cabin.</p>
+    <p>Lowell is the center of a large negro settlement; the people have had a
+    hard lot, and but little opportunity to improve their condition. They
+    are very grateful to hear the Gospel.</p>
+    <p>Forefather's day was observed by the Nashville churches in the
+    theological hall of Fisk University. We "spiritual children" of the
+    Pilgrims honor the fathers whose descendants have enriched us through
+    the A.M.A. by the schools and churches that have been planted among us.
+    The church at Lexington, Ky., had a season of "refreshing" in December,
+    when several heads of families united with it. Howard church, Nashville,
+    also had an awakening with good results. This church has increased its
+    membership fifty per cent. in fifteen months. Jackson Street Church,
+    Nashville, held a recognition service for its new pastor in January.</p>
+    <p>We were glad to greet the churches and brethren of Louisiana after an
+    absence from them of two years. The Spain Street Church at New Orleans
+    held a series of Gospel meetings in which a number avowed their faith in
+    the Saviour, and the church was strengthened.</p>
+    <p>Straight University is crowded with an earnest class of students.</p>
+    <p>This school is doing a great work for the people of Louisiana and
+    surrounding States. In spite of the hard times, which are very severe in
+    the South (laborers in Louisiana and some other States receive only
+    fifty cents a day and board themselves), the people are making great
+<a name="page107" id="page107"></a><span class="newpage">[pg 107]</span>
+    sacrifices for the education of their children, and our pastors and
+    teachers are making heroic struggles that the work in school and church
+    may go forward.</p>
+    <p>The need of the continuance of the work was never greater and the
+    results of the service of our workers were never better. To retrench
+    further at this time would not only cripple the work among the needy
+    peoples of our field, but shut the door of opportunity in many places,
+    and injure the people in their efforts to rise, and discourage our
+    self-sacrificing missionaries. The people are grateful for these schools
+    and churches and need more of them. We appeal to our Northern friends to
+    come to the rescue of the American Missionary Association at this time.</p>

+    <h3>A SCHOOLBOY'S COMPOSITION.</h3>
+    <p>A little lad six years of age in the primary grade of Knox Institute,
+    Athens, Ga., attended rhetoricals in which several pupils read
+    compositions on the subject of America. He was greatly impressed, went
+    home, and wrote without supervision the composition below. Although he
+    has put the raccoon, lion and tiger among the birds, it is certainly a
+    pretty good composition for the first one written by a child six years
+    of age. Could any of the children six years old to whom THE AMERICAN
+    MISSIONARY may come do better than this little black boy?</p>
+    <h4>AMERICA.</h4>
+    <p>America is a large country, and it has many large rivers, and it has
+    many animals, and has wild creatures.</p>
+    <p>America is a most important country. And many a people like to go there.
+    And it has many wild birds&mdash;mocking birds, nightingale, raccoon, and
+    also the opossum and lion, tiger, elephant, and the rhinoceros.</p>
+    <p>And in America there are lakes, seas, and the bushes are so thick that
+    you can hardly tell when a human is beside them.</p>
+    <p>The States in America are so large that ten hundred can get in these.
+    But if one of the animals was to seize you once you would never want to
+    go there any more, for if one of them get hold of you you would hollow
+    like anything. It would settle your hash. It would frighten you so much
+    you never would want to see one of them.</p>

+set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to
+copying and distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works to

+Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if you
+charge for the eBooks, unless you receive specific permission.  If you

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

+1.E.8.  You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact

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

+No. 3.
+
+
+In this number of THE MISSIONARY we present our readers with an
+interesting variety of information, embracing sketches of personal
+observation by secretaries of the Association, letters from field
+workers, pictures of pioneers in two important fields, and pictures of
+one of our higher institutions. It is with sorrow that we are compelled
+to notice the death of our late honored and beloved President, Dr.
+William M. Taylor, and that of Professor Painter, so successful and so
+faithful in his work among the Indians.

+FIELD NOTES.
+
+BY SECRETARY RYDER.
+
+
+MOUNTAIN WORK.--A very interesting spiritual awakening seems to prevail
+in many points of our mountain field. From a pastor of one of these
+churches among our American Highlanders we have received the following:
+"I have held meetings a couple of weeks, first at the church, and then
+at the academy. A large number have been reached. The open meetings
+disclosed the new life to all. We held daily meetings of prayer in the
+evening, and a large percentage of the students attended. All took part.
+The Y.P.S.C.E. has increased fourfold, and all the time is occupied in
+their meetings, and often two or three arise to speak at once. Six names
+were presented for active membership, and two for associate. The work is
+not confined to this single church and academy.
+
+"I went recently to another village and half a dozen committed
+themselves for Christ. The Association needs an evangelist to visit
+these fields. Audiences fill the churches, most of them people who are
+out of Christ. All that prevents meeting this crying want of these
+mountain people in supplying to them more intelligent and consecrated
+ministers of the Gospel is the lack of money consecrated and given to
+this great service. This mountain field is now ripe to the harvest.
+Will not the churches multiply their gifts so that we can send into this
+harvest field more devoted men who are ready to go if they can do their
+work and simply be supported?"
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+The hard times and the difficulty of the mountain people to get clothing
+is illustrated in the following, which comes to us in a recent
+missionary letter from this mountain field:
+
+"There would have been much more suffering had it not been for the
+clothing which has gone out from this school. When seven chickens bring
+only thirty-five cents the poor mountain people do not have much
+chance."
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+A pastor of the Association among our American Highlanders writes as
+follows: "This has been a most blessed and glorious season of
+refreshing. In the bounds of my work this fall and winter I have held
+and assisted in meetings which have in all resulted in something more
+than 100 hopeful conversions. My work now is especially to care for and
+look after the welfare of these precious souls lately brought to Christ
+and to give as much time as possible to my studies."
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+INDIAN WORK.--Our friends will remember the appeal made by Rev. James F.
+Cross, of Rosebud Agency, S.D., at our annual meeting at Elgin, Ill.,
+for a chapel to be built at Cedar Butte, S.D. President Gates, moved by
+the appeal, took it up so enthusiastically that nearly $400 came from
+him and other generous givers. The Indians drew the logs and have just
+erected the chapel under the direction of Superintendent Cross. A note
+just received from the field contains the following, which abundantly
+proves the wisdom of opening this new station at Cedar Butte and helping
+the Indians in the erection of their church: "Last week I was up to
+Cedar Butte church. It was the first time since it was built that I have
+been there for service. I received two young men into the church. It was
+a warm day and the thermometer has not been ten degrees away from zero,
+except to go thirteen below, since." This chapel at Cedar Butte is the
+center of a new work, and this message brings the hopefulness of the
+field.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+"We received five grown persons to our church fellowship on Sunday, and
+two children were baptized. Three Christian Indian families were
+constituted by Christian marriage at the same time. Praise God!" So
+writes Supt. C.L. Hall, of Fort Berthold Indian Mission, N.D.
+

+
+ARE THEY GRATEFUL?
+
+REV. CHAS. F. SARGENT, THOMASVILLE, GA.
+
+
+Very often we are asked if the people among whom we labor are grateful
+for the work that is done for and among them--whether there is
+self-denial on their part in helping themselves in church and school
+work.
+
+It is very important that we should have some expression on their part
+in regard to this. There are many incidents in which grateful
+acknowledgment is made. A few incidents will best answer the above
+question.
+
+A little more than a mile from here there lives in an almost
+uninhabitable cabin an old lady who is called "Aunt Eliza." I saw her
+first one cold day last winter, when I called and found her in bed sick
+with pneumonia. We ministered unto her as we best could, providing
+medicine, food and clothing.
+
+From a missionary barrel garments were obtained which helped to make her
+body comfortable. She depended on the kindness of a neighbor to gather
+sticks for her and draw water. At times there was only enough fire in
+the fire-place to give a faint glimmer, not enough to make the room
+cheerful. Aunt Eliza is old and crippled, and it was only with much care
+and patient waiting that in the goodness of God she was restored to
+health. Some time passed after her recovery before I saw her. She came
+to our house on a hot summer day to bring an offering of gratitude for
+God's mercy in giving her back health and strength. She brought to us in
+a corner of her handkerchief fifty-five cents which she had saved from
+little gifts from children and grandchildren nearly as poor as herself.
+She had at this time only meal enough in her house to make one "pone" of
+bread. Gratefully she urged upon us her self-denying gift of
+thanksgiving. Of course we accepted it, only to return it to her in the
+name of the Master, who is the Great Gift Giver. Later in the season our
+sister remembered us again. She had saved for us two chickens, but a
+"_conjuror_" came along and said he would tell her fortune for them. He
+succeeded in "_beating_" her out of her offering for the Lord, and in
+return she received nothing. She came and told us all about it. This
+good woman did not rest until she brought us one at a time the chickens
+that she had promised. When the Association met with us a few days ago
+she brought, as her part to help, a few eggs. There are other incidents
+in her life which are interesting, but we cannot tell them all now. She
+certainly is grateful and gives the "widow's mite" in giving all that
+she has. She has been to our church and been blessed in meeting God in
+the sanctuary. The first Sunday that she came she bowed and courtesied
+to the people as she came in, much to their amusement.

+
+A PIONEER MISSIONARY IN AFRICA.
+
+
+[Illustration: REV. GEORGE THOMPSON.]
+
+Rev. George Thompson was early enlisted as a missionary in the Mendi
+Mission on the west coast of Africa. He had been a most ardent friend of
+the slave, active in aiding their escape from the house of bondage, and
+as a consequence had spent five years in the Missouri State Prison. He
+went to Africa in 1848 under the commission of the American Missionary
+Association, and proved himself to be remarkably useful. One of his most
+far-reaching efforts was in the work as a peacemaker. A fierce and
+unrelenting war had been raging among the tribes around the mission, and
+this was brought to a close through the wise and persistent efforts of
+Mr. Thompson. He was chosen umpire for the contending chiefs, and after
+repeated and wearying excursions, and ten interviews or councils with
+both parties, he at length succeeded. Then came the joy which peace
+brings. Warriors met and fell on each other's necks; chiefs, who were
+for years enemies, now shook hands and embraced each other with the
+affection of long-separated friends; sisters, wives and daughters, long
+captives, fell into each other's arms, weeping for joy. A chief's
+daughter was seen running to embrace her father's feet, a wife hastened
+to welcome her husband and children, and entire towns were filled with
+cries of gladness. The beatitude, "Blessed are the peacemakers," belongs
+to Mr. Thompson.
+
+Ill health at length compelled Mr. Thompson to relinquish the work in
+Africa, and in 1856 he returned to Oberlin, Ohio, where he spent five
+years in publishing his book on Africa, entitled, "Palm Land," and in
+educating two boys whom he brought with him from Africa. In 1861 he
+removed with his family to northwestern Michigan, where he labored as a
+home missionary for eighteen years, being the pastor for fifteen years
+of a church which he established. He then returned to Oberlin, where he
+remained until his death in 1893. In all these years Mr. Thompson was a
+laborious and useful man, actively engaged in awakening the churches to
+an interest in Africa, in writing his books and educating his children.
+In his later years, while living in Oberlin, he was abundant in labors
+in connection with Sunday-schools and feeble churches in Ohio and other
+States.

+
+A PIONEER MISSIONARY AMONG THE INDIANS.
+
+
+In 1843 a number of young men from Oberlin entered upon a mission among
+the Ojibway Indians in the northern part of what is now Minnesota, under
+the auspices of the Western Evangelical Missionary Society, which was
+soon afterward transferred to the American Missionary Association. Of
+the inaccessibility of this field, a competent authority has said:
+"There is probably no missionary field to-day on the face of the earth
+more difficult to reach than this was at that time."
+
+[Illustration: REV. S.G. WRIGHT.]
+
+Among this group of missionaries was Rev. S.G. Wright. As a part of his
+experience it is said that after a short visit at home, Mr. Wright
+returned to the mission taking his young wife with him--their wedding
+tour. It was a journey of over a month made in a canoe. They were both
+compelled to walk at intervals twenty-two miles in the swamps along the
+side of the stream until they reached Mr. Barnard's station. These walks
+were varied by sickness; Mr. Wright sometimes had chills every day, but
+at Mr. Barnard's station he recovered. There remained yet twenty miles
+of their journey, and this was undertaken on foot, but soon a storm
+brought five inches of snow. Mr. Wright says: "My wife was very lame,
+and what woman would not be after walking twenty long miles through mire
+and water, over high hills and through gullies, in snow from four to
+five inches deep?"
+
+The change wrought by these missionaries can be indicated in a sentence:
+When they went there the Indians cultivated almost no land and their
+only domestic animals were dogs. They maintained a precarious existence
+by hunting and fishing, and the gathering of wild rice, with starvation
+as no uncommon experience. In a few years these Indians raised their own
+supplies of corn and potatoes, with some to sell to procure other
+necessaries; they began to build houses for themselves; had the benefit
+of a saw mill and a grist mill, with the blessings of a church and
+boarding school.
+
+The Association withdrew from the mission in 1859, but Mr. Wright
+returned under other auspices, and spent several years in effective and
+useful work. He still lives and is active in Christian labors as a
+member of the church in Oberlin.

+
+A SOUTHERN JOURNEY.
+
+BY SECRETARY A.F. BEARD.
+
+
+It included every Southern State in extent from Virginia to Texas, and
+from Texas to Florida. It was a study of schools, their methods and
+attainments; it was the acquaintance of new teachers and their work, the
+greeting of those who have become old friends, the look into the eyes of
+more colored youth in schools than usually falls to one person. It was a
+comparative study of classes of all grades in schools of the same grade,
+and of schools in different States and environments. It was an
+examination of industries in agriculture, industries in mechanics, of
+schools, normal and collegiate. It was an inspection of properties; an
+inquiry as to the prices of paints and brick and lime and wall papers.
+
+It was a visit to churches, a handshake with pastors and deacons, a
+gathering of congregations to "make their wants and wishes known" to
+"the Association." One soon learns that the correct use of the definite
+article to designate the A.M.A. is not confined to those who have
+studied grammar. There is only one Association for these people. They
+never call it "American" nor even "Missionary." "The" is all sufficient,
+and it does one good to hear his society thus alphabetically
+abbreviated, as it does to meet these warm-hearted brethren of the
+colored churches which have been nourished with life by "The"
+Association. If anyone is suffering from iciness in the cardiac region,
+there is no better place for him to get the cockles of his heart well
+warmed up than in some of the colored congregations' churches which I
+visited. I said some. Alas! there is a difference in churches--in the
+South.
+
+I find the schools full of interest, and that in the higher institutions
+the girls and young women are side by side in nearly equal numbers with
+lads and young men in climbing up the steep hills of education. It is,
+indeed, climbing. It takes more time, more patience and more resolution
+than most white students with happier conditions can realize.
+
+The characteristics of the student are changing somewhat from the
+former days. Pupils are pushing into the more advanced grades earlier
+in years. They have not the memories of slavery as had the generations
+before them--only the traditions of it, and certain of its
+influences--for influences do not die when institutions pass away. There
+is not, for example, much old-fashioned Puritanism stalking about in New
+York in these days, but considerable of Puritan influence is alive and
+is just now contributing to the hopefulness of the times and the
+interests of municipal reform and even of the State government.
+Influences continue, and it will take time for those of slavery or the
+effect on both races to pass away.
+
+One may not particularize among so many schools and churches as were in
+the path of my visitation, and one must generalize if he will keep
+within limits. For ten years now it has been my privilege to study the
+South as a personal observer, not only in schools and churches and not
+only on the regular routes of travel, but in the bypaths of rural life
+and in talks with all classes and conditions of men of every shade of
+color. I may, therefore, be permitted to generalize.
+
+First, it is often said that those who live among evils best understand
+them and know how to meet them. This is a fallacy. The missionaries in
+China knew better what was for the good of China than did the Emperor
+himself. There are people in the United States, also, who could give
+some good points to the new Emperor of Russia, and if he would take them
+and use them it would be for the advantage of that country. It is true
+that impressions are not facts, and one cannot run over a fashionable
+route of travel holding converse with some hospitable Southern host and
+return with much more than impressions. Such are likely to speak with
+more confidence than knowledge, but, on the other hand, one who confines
+himself to a single locality in the South and to the local facts is more
+likely to have his views lean to inclination than to truth. One's
+opinion ought to be estimated by his information. I have known an
+otherwise intelligent citizen of New Orleans to be ignorant of the
+existence of Straight University with its 500 students and its noble
+accomplishment. A citizen of New York in this case could give the
+citizen of New Orleans some information about the South.
+
+Secondly, the negroes are gaining. Never were the schools better in
+their entire range in different States, the studies more exacting, the
+purpose on the part of students for mastery in their work more resolute.
+Never was there manifested a more self-reliant spirit. The people are
+having a hard time just now; many are poorer than ever before, but the
+negroes are gaining, inch by inch. There are millions in schools and
+unreached millions yet who could not read a word in the New Testament if
+they had one; but the gain is seen in many ways; in schools, in
+churches, in homes, and in the improved quality and character of the
+newspapers edited by colored men, as also in their increased numbers.
+The schools under the direction and superintendence of colored teachers
+are gaining in standing and worthiness.
+
+Thirdly, the white South is gaining. Not very rapidly, but gaining. The
+lawless part of the South--and there is a lawless part--is as lawless as
+ever. The lower and more violent elements, however, are but a small part
+of the Southern people. Still they know that the general public opinion
+is not positive enough to condemn them in any question between the
+negroes and the whites; hence they are not afraid to do what they will
+with the negro. The great body of the Southern people are law-abiding,
+with the single exception that they do not propose to respect the
+Fifteenth Amendment. They are committed against this. They deprecate
+lawlessness. They are personally kind to the negroes. They are busy in
+the ordinary duties of life, but the lawless know that these good people
+will never disturb them in their injustices to the negro. Then, there is
+a relatively small element of the people who are prophets of a better
+day. They themselves often feel the slavery of a public opinion which
+puts odium upon them when they are too friendly in behalf of the
+oppressed colored man. They cannot oppose many things which they feel to
+be wrong without losing their influence. These seers of the future are
+in hearty sympathy with our work and give it such personal encouragement
+as they may under the tyrannical conditions of a public opinion not
+friendly to equal rights on the part of the negro.
+
+There is a great gain, also, in Southern public opinion as to the
+capacity of the colored man and his possible future. This gain is seen
+in the better provisions for the colored public schools, in towns and
+cities. The schools of the A.M.A. are both object lessons and incentives
+for the education of the white as well as the colored in the public
+schools. The South is exceedingly sensitive as to the opinion of the
+North. A trifle of published criticism, for example, goes through the
+Southern papers with rebuttals enough to break down a national
+constitution. An imperfect and incorrect report of an interview, which
+lived just long enough to be printed, has been lately passionately
+confuted in certain Southern newspapers with a profusion of epithets
+which were out of all proportion to the harmless nonsense committed to
+the press by an untrained reporter--a new illustration of the extreme
+sensitiveness of the South to Northern opinion. Northern sentiment is
+often ridiculed, and frequently sends not a few Southern newspapers into
+spasms, but it is heeded. Let it be kindly and true, and pressed
+fraternally and constantly "In His Name" who came
+
+  "To take away transgressions
+  And set the captive free."
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+THE VALUE OF PURE AND INTELLIGENT CHURCHES.
+
+
+The extract given below has the true ring. It is from one of the pastors
+of the American Missionary Association educated at Tougaloo and Howard
+Theological Seminary. If sometimes our church work seems small and
+discouraging there are many things to be remembered. Many times we are
+told by the pastors of our churches "we could have larger churches and
+more of them if we would accept the standards of those about us."
+Moreover, some little church with fifty members may be doing more for
+the cause of Christ than some big church of ten times the number. But,
+read the extract:
+
+"In the battle of Milliken's Bend, a color bearer was seen far in
+advance of his company. The captain shouted to him, 'Bring those colors
+back to the army!' The reply was sent back, 'Bring the army up to the
+colors.'
+
+"Just so, in the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee,
+and the South generally, our church is lifting up the standard, and
+although men are constantly trying to get the standard bearer to fall
+back to the army of biased, narrow humanity, the church ever shouts back
+the reply of the immortal color bearer, 'Bring the army up to the
+colors.'
+
+"Every man and woman going out from our schools is imbued with the
+thought that he or she is to hold up the standard of God--not man--for
+the people. Every church, school or mission fostered by the A.M.A. is
+holding up the highest ideals of all life. And while our work does not
+grow in numbers as rapidly as we could wish, we are broadcasting the
+good seeds of the Kingdom over all the land, and here and there they are
+springing into life, bringing forth fruit--some thirty, some sixty, and
+some an hundred fold; so we go on grinding out the grist ever and anon
+holding one for toll. I am not ignorant of what other churches are
+doing, and some are doing nobly, but ours is the great work. It has been

+
+TILLOTSON, AUSTIN, TEXAS.
+
+BY SECRETARY A.F. BEARD.
+
+
+In the year 1875 the Rev. George J. Tillotson, of Connecticut, visited
+various points of the South with a view to the establishment of a
+school. He was accompanied by a secretary of the Association. After a
+careful survey they selected Austin, Texas, as the most promising point.
+About twenty-five acres of partially wooded land just beyond the eastern
+boundary of the city of Austin were purchased for $5,000, the gift of
+Mr. Tillotson. In the following year a charter was obtained and the work
+of raising money for the building was entered upon. The funds were
+finally secured, and in 1879 the foundations were laid, and the
+building, 104 feet in length and 42 in depth, constructed of white
+pressed brick with dress stone trimmings, rose to its five stories in
+height. On the 17th of January, 1881, the school opened. Two of the five
+floors were then open spaces. Eleven pupils only were enrolled at the
+beginning, but the term closed in June with 107. During this year the
+building was completed and named "Allen Hall," in honor of one of the
+largest givers. At the opening of the fall term the beginning of the
+next year, the accommodations were taxed to the utmost. In August, 1882,
+the report reads, "Allen Hall is full to repletion, 100 in the boarding
+department. Work cannot unfold for need of more room. Young men and
+young women in the same building make an urgent appeal for a new
+building."
+
+At no time since the beginning of the second year have there been
+adequate accommodations for all desiring to attend.
+
+For ten years the institution under the name of "Tillotson Collegiate
+and Normal Institute" has furnished to students from all parts of the
+great State of Texas with its half million of colored people, and from
+other States, and from Mexico, not only an opportunity to acquire a
+thoroughly practical common-school education, but also a more extended
+course to prepare students for entrance to the highest educational
+institutions in the land; and a normal training course for teachers for
+all positions in the public schools. Within this period of time a church
+has been formed for the students of the institution and others, which
+has been regularly ministered to by the president of the institution.
+
+In the year 1888 a building for carpentry and manual instruction was
+erected and a teacher was appointed for industrial training.
+
+The picture following is that of Allen Hall as it looks down upon the
+valley of the river Colorado. In every direction the views are of great
+extent, and include many picturesque scenes. The State capitol--a mile
+distant--and the various public buildings of Austin, are before the eye.
+Since electricity has been introduced, Austin by night presents a
+brilliant outlook from the grounds of the institution, but the light
+which shines from these buildings on the hill sends its beams farther
+than those of the electric plant, and pierces a denser darkness than
+that of night.
+
+[Illustration: ALLEN HALL.]
+
+The industrial buildings--viz., the shop for carpentry, another for
+blacksmithing, for repairing of vehicles, and for painting--are at a
+suitable distance in the rear on the "boys' side" of the grounds. Below
+them are located the barn, wagon house, hennery, etc.
+
+On the crest of a second eminence, several hundred feet from "Allen
+Hall," is the attractive new building (see picture, page 100) used as a
+dormitory for teachers and young women pupils. In this building are the
+culinary department also, and the dining room for each hall. There are
+forty dormitory rooms in this hall which will accommodate sixty pupils
+and their teachers. In addition to its dining-hall for all the pupils
+within the institution there are reading and sewing rooms, etc., which
+add to its completeness. There are not many school buildings anywhere
+with more diversified landscape and beautiful natural surroundings than
+those of Tillotson. Encompassed by oak trees large enough for shade and
+shelter, but not over-towering the prospect, free from the distracting
+noises and dust of the streets, and yet possessing all the advantages of
+a thrifty and beautiful city, the student at Tillotson will have at
+least one period in life that may not be commiserated.
+
+This new building has not yet been duly named, and if anyone of those
+who may read this sketch will give $1,000 to be used as an endowment
+fund, the interest to be applied year by year as long as the school
+stands, we shall be glad to name this new hall after the giver, unless
+the name should happen to be too un-euphonious. Would not this beautiful
+hall be a fine monument to bear the name of some considerate and
+generous giver?
+
+[Illustration: NEW HALL: DORMITORY FOR TEACHERS AND PUPILS.]
+
+Tillotson was chartered under the corporate name of "Institute." This
+charter has now expired, and since the institution has blossomed out
+with the possibilities of a college it is hoped that under the new
+charter it may bear the name of "College."
+
+It has the following departments: Common English, Normal, College
+Preparatory, College, Vocal and Instrumental Music, and Industrial, and
+a department for trained nurses. The faculty of the institution has
+consisted of the president, the normal principal, the industrial
+teacher, and ten other teachers. The boarding department is conducted
+upon the model of a Christian household. The intention is by no means
+simply to furnish rooms and meals for those who are in attendance, but
+also to inculcate ideas of right living and thinking, which are
+indispensable to true manhood and womanhood.
+
+In the Common English department the purpose is to prepare the pupils
+thoroughly for the practical duties of life.
+
+The College Preparatory gives a careful preparation in the way of
+language studies which will fit them to enter into the more generous
+course of study in which they may be fitted to be intelligent preachers
+and leaders of their race. The demand for college-educated men among the
+negroes is an intelligent one. This race cannot be elevated unless there
+can be raised a sufficient number of strong, earnest men, thoroughly
+trained intellectually, as well as morally; men who shall have a larger
+than a local vision, and who shall stand forth as representative leaders
+and teachers of those less fortunate than themselves.
+
+The Normal department adds the study of subjects and methods, for those
+who are preparing to become teachers among their own people.
+
+The Industrial includes not only manual instruction, but carpentry,
+blacksmithing and mechanical drawing for boys and young men, and also
+sewing and dressmaking for girls and young women.
+
+[Illustration: MANUAL INSTRUCTION SHOP.]
+
+For a young institution the record of Tillotson is excellent. There are
+few places in the great empire of Texas where it has not already become
+known through its pupils, or through teachers who have received their
+education within its walls.
+
+Being under the care of a distinctively Christian organization it
+carries out the intention of its founders in providing religious
+instruction for all who attend. Its Sunday School, its Christian
+Endeavor Societies, its social worship, its church service, its mission
+work, all intensify the religious influence and religious life.
+
+Tillotson is far away and needs friends who will give it help. It needs
+scholarships and professorships. It needs a library, chemical and
+philosophical apparatus, and a printing press. It needs gifts of
+bedding, tableware for the halls, and clothing for needy students.
+Friends, it needs your Christian sympathy and Christian prayers, that
+the great and blessed Teacher may dwell within its walls and in the
+hearts of the inmates.

+
+DEATH OF DR. TAYLOR.
+
+
+Nine years ago we were called upon to record the death of Governor
+Washburn, President of this Association. While he was seemingly in the
+fullness of life and while on the platform at the meeting of the
+American Board he suddenly and unexpectedly fell asleep in death. In a
+far different way did his successor, Rev. William M. Taylor, D.D., meet
+in quietude and with patient resignation the summons that called him
+home. The premonition of death came three years ago, and the march has
+been steady to the close. During these months his patience and sweet
+assurance have been as marked illustrations of the power of the Gospel
+as other graces were in his more active career.
+
+Dr. Taylor, long before he became President of this Association, took a
+deep interest in its work and brought to it his own personal influence
+and that of his large and wealthy congregation. As a presiding officer
+he was constant in his attendance, and by the dignity of his manner and
+his great force of character gave guidance and strength to the
+gatherings of our annual meeting. But Dr. Taylor was broad, and his
+sympathies went forth to every form of endeavor for the spread of the
+Gospel and the benefit of mankind. With a strong character derived from
+his Scottish ancestry, he had made his mark as a pastor in the growth of
+a church under his care in the old country. Nearly a quarter of a
+century ago he came to this city, and by his commanding eloquence, his
+pastoral gifts and the books which flowed from his pen, he has exerted a
+wide and salutary influence. On great occasions, at college
+anniversaries and at missionary and ecclesiastical gatherings, Dr.
+Taylor was one of the most acceptable and efficient speakers. One marked
+characteristic of Dr. Taylor came from his great heart, and mellowed and
+sweetened all his other powers. He has finished a glorious course, and
+has gone to his reward.

+REV. CHAS. C. PAINTER.
+
+
+The recent death of Prof. Painter has removed a most useful and
+efficient worker in behalf of the Indians. He died at his home in
+Washington, of heart disease, after an illness of only twelve hours. He
+was sixty-two years old, born in Virginia, but resident for most of his
+life in New England, where he was an acceptable pastor. He was called
+from that position into the service of the American Missionary
+Association, acting for a time as Professor in Fisk University. He,
+however, soon gave his life to promoting the education and civilization
+of the Indians, and for ten years was connected with the Indian Rights
+Association. It was a tribute to his knowledge and service in the Indian
+work that about a year ago he was appointed a member of the Board of
+Indian Commissioners.

+
+ONE MISSIONARY DAY.
+
+MISS S.E. OBER, EVARTS, KY.
+
+
+At work again. Back from the rest and change of the summer vacation.
+Leaving behind friends and home, comforts and pleasures, and nearly all
+the advantages of civilization. But coming to a greater joy, a higher
+privilege than any of these can afford--the "high calling" of our
+Master, to minister to poor, needy souls in His name.
+
+So with great happiness we gather up the loose threads and the dropped
+stitches of last year's work, and start anew. Come with us through one
+day, and taste a few of a missionary's joys. After our household tasks
+are over, and we have gained new power from our daily devotions, we
+start out on our work. Over one hundred boys and girls give us bright
+greetings as we ride past. We must go on horseback, as there are no
+_good_ roads in our vicinity.
+
+We are entirely compassed about with mountains; on every side they lift
+their grand heads in everlasting testimony of the wonderful handiwork of
+the Almighty. But we have little time to gaze upon their beauty, for
+more precious creations of the same great Hand are needing our
+attention.
+
+See this little hovel, built of rough logs, scarcely serving to keep out
+the wind or the rain. Let us enter. A most pitiful sight awaits us. The
+fever has been before us. For months it has raged, and two human souls
+have been taken from the family which dwells here. On a rude filthy bed
+lies the wasted frame of a once stalwart man. He is as feeble as the
+infant; a wan child is sitting near by. The mother, in tattered
+garments, totters about her work, so enfeebled by the disease that her
+strength is inadequate for her tasks. Three of the children are nothing
+but skeletons, and sit listlessly on the floor, taking but little
+notice of anything going on about them.
+
+The thin faces light up at sight of us, and a cordial welcome is
+extended. The only whole chair is brought forward for our use. You might
+expect a torrent of complaints from these poor creatures. But no,
+instead come words of praise to God that He had spared so many of their
+lives, that He had been _with_ them in their sufferings.
+
+A year ago, when we visited this hut, we found them stolid and
+indifferent, caring nothing for spiritual things. The woman sat smoking
+over the fire, scarcely vouchsafing us a word, and muttered to a crony,
+"Wot's thet thar woman nosing 'bout yere for? She'd er heap sight better
+let we uns erlone."
+
+It was very hard to ask permission to hold prayers with them in such a
+hostile atmosphere, but it is our duty to "sow beside _all_ waters," so
+we proffered our request.
+
+"Yer kin ef yer mines ter. I haint er carin'," was the ungracious reply.
+
+But what a change _now_. The woman's face glows with a light that only
+comes from the "light of the world." "God's been mighty good ter we
+uns," she says. "Ef hit hedn't ben fer Him we'd er died. An' we uns air
+bound ter do ez near right ez we kin, an' serve ther Lord, ther hull lot
+on us."
+
+Does it not make our own hearts glow to hear such words, and see the
+wonders God hath wrought? And with thanksgiving we read and pray with
+them, and strengthen their faith with God's Word. After noting their
+needs, and promising to supply them from the articles sent us by
+generous Northern friends, we go on to the next house.
+
+We find the same sad state of affairs; fever-worn men and women, wasted
+children, and starvation and want staring them in the face. But we find
+also the same great change. God's Spirit has been working among them,
+and hearts are softened and lives changed by His power. So we go from
+hut to hut, until the way becomes too steep to ride, and we leave our
+horses and climb, on foot, the lofty, rocky ridges.
+
+We find men who were reckless and bad ready to listen to God's Word, and
+in broken voices asking for prayers. We find women who have lived lives
+of open shame penitent and contrite, showing by their abandonment of
+their evil ways that they are sincere when they say, oh so earnestly,
+"We uns air tryin' ter do right."
+
+But all is not so encouraging. We must visit homes where vice reigns
+supreme; where women are lost to shame, and glory in their sin; where
+even the children have the "trail of the serpent" upon their young
+faces; where the men are brutal and beastly, and even sickness does not
+_touch_ them.
+
+Let us call at this old log house as we pass; nestled under a high
+cliff, with the creek flowing past, it looks like some ugly blot on the
+"face of nature." But it is a _school-house_. There is no window, no
+chimney, only a hole in the side of the house, opening into a sort of
+pen of rocks, in which the fire is built; an admirable arrangement to
+send all the heat out of doors, and the smoke into the house. Several
+rough benches (that do not invite to ease or comfort) and an ancient
+chair complete the furniture of the room. Several boards painted black
+form the "blackboards." Here we find two tattered urchins and three tiny
+girls, whose faces have evidently not made the acquaintance of soap and
+water for some days.
+
+The teacher is one of the advanced pupils of our academy--a bright young
+man, who will attend our school when his is completed. We ask where the
+rest of the scholars are.
+
+"Pulling fodder or stripping cane," is the reply. And the children have
+to work so much in the fields that they seldom have the chance of
+attending school. Out of fifty or sixty scholars only a very few ever
+attend these public schools. But it is growing late, and we have a long,
+rough way before us, so we spur on toward home, reaching it just as the
+glow of the sunset dies away from the last distant peak and the dusky
+twilight settles down over the whole land.
+
+A hurried supper and then to the church prayer meeting. Here are
+gathered quite a number, and we have a very good meeting, feeling the
+presence of our Saviour in our midst. So closes one of our days, and
+wearied in body, but refreshed and strengthened in spirit, we go to
+rest.

+
+SOUTHERN FIELD NOTES.
+
+REV. GEORGE W. MOORE.
+
+
+The mission station recently opened at La Pine, in the black belt of
+Alabama, is a door of hope to that needy people. The people came for
+miles around to greet the missionary and to hear the Gospel. At another
+point in Alabama we found a promising field which one of our theological
+graduates from Talladega had opened. He began the work in a rented hall
+at his own cost, and after he had gathered a congregation and found it a
+needy and at the same time a hopeful field he raised the "Macedonian
+cry" to the American Missionary Association for help. The Pauline
+heroism of this brother in preaching the Gospel in his own hired house
+is shared by our brethren in various parts of our Southern field. The
+work is so large and the needs of the people are so great that this
+spirit of Christ must be more fully expressed, both in gifts and
+service, to reach the pressing calls for help.
+
+I met three interesting characters in the black belt of Georgia. The
+first was named Moses. On meeting him he addressed me with "You don't
+knows me, does you? My name is Moses." His friend "Uncle Plenty" lived
+in a little cabin by the roadside. He had heard of the Association, and
+was glad to greet me as one of its missionaries. He told me that he felt
+so thankful for what the Northern friends had done for his people that
+he wished his little cabin and half acre lot to be bequeathed to the
+American Missionary Association. I dined with "Uncle Plenty" and met
+Father Joshua, a poor old blind man ninety years of age, in his cabin.
+They told me the story of their lives in slavery and how they had prayed
+to see this day of freedom and light.
+
+Moses and Joshua and "Uncle Plenty" are types of the old people and
+times that are giving place to a new generation and a brighter day.
+
+Among the new enterprises reported at the meeting of the Georgia
+Association at Thomasville, Ga., were two churches and several missions
+from the vicinity of Columbia, S.C.
+
+I spent Thanksgiving Day at Lowell, N.C. Our mission at this point is
+the only church in that vicinity. It was the first Thanksgiving service
+they had ever enjoyed or even heard of. It was held in a log cabin.
+
+Lowell is the center of a large negro settlement; the people have had a
+hard lot, and but little opportunity to improve their condition. They
+are very grateful to hear the Gospel.
+
+Forefather's day was observed by the Nashville churches in the
+theological hall of Fisk University. We "spiritual children" of the
+Pilgrims honor the fathers whose descendants have enriched us through
+the A.M.A. by the schools and churches that have been planted among us.
+The church at Lexington, Ky., had a season of "refreshing" in December,
+when several heads of families united with it. Howard church, Nashville,
+also had an awakening with good results. This church has increased its
+membership fifty per cent. in fifteen months. Jackson Street Church,
+Nashville, held a recognition service for its new pastor in January.
+
+We were glad to greet the churches and brethren of Louisiana after an
+absence from them of two years. The Spain Street Church at New Orleans
+held a series of Gospel meetings in which a number avowed their faith in
+the Saviour, and the church was strengthened.
+
+Straight University is crowded with an earnest class of students.
+
+This school is doing a great work for the people of Louisiana and
+surrounding States. In spite of the hard times, which are very severe in
+the South (laborers in Louisiana and some other States receive only
+fifty cents a day and board themselves), the people are making great
+sacrifices for the education of their children, and our pastors and
+teachers are making heroic struggles that the work in school and church
+may go forward.
+
+The need of the continuance of the work was never greater and the
+results of the service of our workers were never better. To retrench
+further at this time would not only cripple the work among the needy
+peoples of our field, but shut the door of opportunity in many places,
+and injure the people in their efforts to rise, and discourage our
+self-sacrificing missionaries. The people are grateful for these schools
+and churches and need more of them. We appeal to our Northern friends to
+come to the rescue of the American Missionary Association at this time.

+
+A SCHOOLBOY'S COMPOSITION.
+
+
+A little lad six years of age in the primary grade of Knox Institute,
+Athens, Ga., attended rhetoricals in which several pupils read
+compositions on the subject of America. He was greatly impressed, went
+home, and wrote without supervision the composition below. Although he
+has put the raccoon, lion and tiger among the birds, it is certainly a
+pretty good composition for the first one written by a child six years
+of age. Could any of the children six years old to whom THE AMERICAN
+MISSIONARY may come do better than this little black boy?
+
+AMERICA.
+
+America is a large country, and it has many large rivers, and it has
+many animals, and has wild creatures.
+
+America is a most important country. And many a people like to go there.
+And it has many wild birds--mocking birds, nightingale, raccoon, and
+also the opossum and lion, tiger, elephant, and the rhinoceros.
+
+And in America there are lakes, seas, and the bushes are so thick that
+you can hardly tell when a human is beside them.
+
+The States in America are so large that ten hundred can get in these.
+But if one of the animals was to seize you once you would never want to
+go there any more, for if one of them get hold of you you would hollow
+like anything. It would settle your hash. It would frighten you so much
+you never would want to see one of them.

+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

+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

+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"

+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

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

+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate

+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
