XLIX. +March, 1895. +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 +friends. + + * * * * * + +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. + +HALL JOHNSON, +Age 6, December 16, 1894. + + * * * * * + +WOMAN'S STATE ORGANIZATIONS. + + +MAINE. + +WOMAN'S AID TO A.M.A. + +_State Committee_--Mrs. Ida Vose Woodbury, + Woodfords; Mrs. A.T.

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.

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.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/15887-8.zip b/15887-8.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..ad02c36 --- /dev/null +++ b/15887-8.zip diff --git a/15887-h.zip b/15887-h.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..915c13c --- /dev/null +++ b/15887-h.zip diff --git a/15887-h/15887-h.htm b/15887-h/15887-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..af702a5 --- /dev/null +++ b/15887-h/15887-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,6220 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> +<html lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> +<head> +<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;

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.—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.

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—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> + <hr /> +<a name="page92" id="page92"></a><span class="newpage">[pg 92]</span> + <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> + <hr /> + <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—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> + <hr /> + <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—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—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.</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—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.</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—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.

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—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."</p> + <hr /> + <p>A COLORED MAN WINS.—Charles W.

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—a mile + distant—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> + <div class="figcenter"> + <a href="images/image99_full.jpg"><img src="images/image99_thumbnail.jpg" + alt="ALLEN HALL." /></a> + <center>ALLEN HALL.</center> + </div> + <p>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.</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.

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.

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 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> + <hr /> + <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—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—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> + <hr /> + <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> + <hr /> + <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—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> + <blockquote> + HALL JOHNSON,<br /> + Age 6, December 16, 1894. + </blockquote> + <hr /> +<a name="page108" id="page108"></a><span class="newpage">[pg 108]</span> + <h2 style="font-variant: small-caps;">Woman's State Organizations.</h2> + <p class="scntr">MAINE.<br /> + Woman's Aid to A.M.A.</p> + <p><i>State Committee</i>—Mrs. Ida Vose Woodbury, + Woodfords; Mrs. A.T.

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.

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.

XLIX. +March, 1895. +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 +friends. + + * * * * * + +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. + +HALL JOHNSON, +Age 6, December 16, 1894. + + * * * * * + +WOMAN'S STATE ORGANIZATIONS. + + +MAINE. + +WOMAN'S AID TO A.M.A. + +_State Committee_--Mrs. Ida Vose Woodbury, + Woodfords; Mrs. A.T.
