NO. 11. + +AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION. + + * * * * * + +FREE ONCE MORE. + +At the close of our fiscal year in 1887, we were enabled to utter the +joyful word "Free," no _debt_ darkening our balance sheet. Last +year (1888) we were compelled to moderate our tone and say "Not quite +free," for a balance of $5,641.21 stood on the wrong side of our +ledger. But now, in the good providence of God, we can say "Free once +more." + +Our receipts from all sources were $376,216.88; payments, including +debt of last year, $371,745.21, leaving a credit balance of $4,471.67. +For this good result we are in some measure indebted to legacies. But, +under all circumstances, we rejoice in the past and look forward with +hope to the future. The work we have in hand, with its grand results, +as will be seen in the "General Survey" published in this number of +the MISSIONARY, will encourage our friends, and the call there made +for growth and enlargement, will, we are sure, stimulate them to +increased contributions and more earnest prayer. The "Survey" will +also contain a statement of the income and expenditure of the Hand +Fund. + + * * * * * + +THE NATIONAL COUNCIL. + +The gathering of this representative body of the Congregational +churches of this country was the largest ever held. It grappled more +fully than any of its predecessors had done with great questions +touching the missionary and benevolent societies in their relations +to the churches and to each other, and the consolidation of the +missionary magazines. The most exciting topic discussed was that of +the Georgia Congregational Churches, white and colored. The result +reached on this point was that the representatives of two District +Conferences were enrolled, and that the representative of the United +Congregational Conference of Georgia was given a seat as an honorary +member. + + * * * * * + +THE COLORED DELEGATES. + +The Southern Associations were represented by six colored delegates +in the National Council. Their bearing and ability won the respect and +admiration of the whole Council. They were modest and manly in their +deportment, prudent in their counsels and very eloquent in their +speech. They showed themselves to be the peers of their white +brethren, and demonstrated beyond a question the capacity of the +colored man for the highest intellectual and moral training. They were +a credit to the American Missionary Association, whose pupils they +have been, and were a living and triumphant vindication of its work at +the South. + + * * * * * + +THE MOHONK CONFERENCE. + +The seventh annual gathering of this Conference, Oct. 2-5, was the +largest ever assembled. Among those present for the first time were +Ex-President Hayes, Gen. O.O. Howard, Gen. John Eaton, Prof. Wayland +and Dr. Wayland. The newspaper press, religious and secular, was very +fully represented; Abbott, Buckley, Dunning, Gilbert, Ward and Wayland +are perhaps best known. The venerable Judge Strong well represented +the law, while the absence of Senator Dawes was sincerely regretted. + +A marked feature of the Conference was the presence of Gen. Morgan, +Commissioner of Indian Affairs. For weeks prior to the meeting of the +Conference, rumors had gone abroad that he intended to abolish the +"contract schools"--that is, schools of the missionary societies which +the Government by a "contract" agrees to assist. Articles had appeared +in the newspapers remonstrating against this course, and it was +believed that this topic would be one of most practical interest in +the Conference. The Commissioner early in the meetings read a paper +outlining his plan for the establishment of Government schools for all +Indian children--the attendance to be compulsory. The omission of +all mention of the "contract schools" in this paper confirmed the +impression to which rumor had given currency. An animated discussion +followed the reading of his paper, in which the Commissioner freely +participated. It appeared that he had been misunderstood--at least +in so far as any immediate curtailment of the "contract schools" is +concerned, and he impressed the Conference warmly in his favor as a +Christian man with broad views, impartial and progressive. He will +meet, we feel sure, with the cordial support of all the societies +engaged in Indian educational work. + +The final action of the Conference was embodied in a platform +substantially repeating the utterances of last year, urging national +education for all Indian children and approving the continuance of +"contract schools." Other planks of the platform related to lands in +severalty, to the legal rights of the Indians, etc.--all of which were +unanimously approved, and thus once more this remarkable Conference +followed its predecessors in free and frank debate, consummated by +entire harmony in the result. + +The varied and unique scenery of Lake Mohonk was shown at its best by +three days of bright and bracing weather. The welcome of Mr. and Mrs. +Smiley to their increased number of guests, who taxed to the utmost +limits the accommodations of the large establishment, was as cordial +and genial as ever. The hearty and enthusiastic vote of thanks, +the only compensation permitted, was a far less reward than the +gratification of their own benevolent feelings in doing good; and that +gratification is probably to be enhanced by the calling together of +another Conference in the early summer in behalf of a still larger +class of our needy fellow-citizens than the Indians. + + * * * * * + +NOTES FROM NEW ENGLAND. + +A good friend of the American Missionary Association in a New England +village recently greatly stirred up the interest of the people in +behalf of our work, through a missionary society which she organized +among the children. They had meetings for sewing, preparing articles +for a box, and then a fair, in which they sold other articles that +they had made, out of which they gathered a considerable sum of money. +The interest went far beyond the children. A gentleman, not a member +of the church, who had never been interested in missionary work, was +stirred up by the solicitation of the children, and gave both time +and money to their effort. He afterwards said to a good lady who +inaugurated the movement, "I am glad I have given to this cause; it +makes me feel good, and I want to keep right on giving." That is the +way it affects every one when the heart and pocket-book are open to +these missionary objects. It makes them feel good, and stirs up a +desire to continue the process. + + * * * * * + +The Christian Endeavor Societies of New England are assisting nobly in +the work of the American Missionary Association. One society pledges +itself to support a missionary in our field for a year. Another makes +one of its number a Life Member of our Association, contributing +thirty dollars. Still another brings in a handsome collection recently +taken, and still another devotes the prayer meeting evening to +thorough study upon the work that is being done through the A.M.A., +in the needy and destitute portions of our country. One young man who +spoke at the last meeting spent a portion of his vacation in studying +up the work among the Highlanders of the South, and gave the results +of his study at their meeting. And why should not this active society +of earnest young people be interested in the great work that is +being accomplished among other young people, painfully in want of +the advantages which those here enjoy? A prayer meeting pledge of the +Y.P.S.C.E., printed in the Sioux language by Indian boys at a Santee +school, is a most interesting evidence that this society is not +confined in its usefulness to any locality or race. A vigorous Society +is one of the elements of work in this Indian school, and a most +useful element. In a letter written by an Indian boy is the following: +"We have a Christian Endeavor Society here. I joined that society not +very long ago, and we have nice meetings on Saturday night. It does +make me feel good in those meetings. There are about thirty members +now." And so these Societies of New England in their prayers for, and +contributions to, the work of the American Missionary Association, +are clasping hands with the same societies among the Negroes, Mountain +people and Indians. + +The "King's Daughters" are also a useful agency in the field work +of our Association. A little Indian girl writes interestingly of the +"King's Daughters" of whom she is one. + + * * * * * + +DEATH OF SUPERINTENDENT HALL. + +Just as we are going to press, (October 18th), we are startled by the +telegraphic announcement of the sudden death from typhoid fever of +Prof. Edward S. Hall, one of our Field Superintendents. Mr. Hall had +been one year in the service of the Association, and had already shown +himself to be a man of varied and remarkable capabilities--not only +skilled in the management of schools, but familiar in an unusual +degree with the practical work of building and repairing school and +church edifices. His services have been invaluable to the Association, +and it will be difficult to supply his place. As a man of noble +Christian character and consecration to the work entrusted to him, he +had won our highest esteem. + + * * * * * + +DEATH OF LARMON B. LANE, M.D. + +Rev. Larmon B. Lane, M.D., died at his home in St. Charles, Ill., +Sept. 15, 1889. He was born in Tallmadge, Ohio, June 21, 1821. He +studied medicine at Cleveland Medical College, and afterward attended +Oberlin College and Theological Seminary, graduating in 1848. The +following year he was sent by the American Missionary Association as +missionary physician to Siam, where he labored faithfully, ministering +to soul and body six years. In 1855 a severe hemorrhage compelled him +to give up the missionary work. After a short rest he began his work +of preaching the gospel. He had successful pastorates in Illinois +and Ohio; afterwards he practiced medicine in Geneva and St. Charles, +Ill., at which latter place he died. He was successful as a physician +and continued to the end a loyal servant of Christ, was deacon, +treasurer and Sunday-school Superintendent, besides being always ready +to do with his might what his hands found to do. + +S. + + * * * * * + +FORTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, + +FOR THE YEAR ENDING SEPTEMBER 30TH, 1889. + + * * * * * + +GENERAL SURVEY. + +The American Missionary Association finds its commission in the words +of the Master, "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to +every creature." + +It does not choose its fields of labor because the people in them are +black, or red, or yellow, or white; but because they are those +for whom Christ died and to whom he commanded the glad tidings of +salvation to be preached. In the fields to which it providentially has +been called, it seeks to bring the gospel to every human being who has +it not in its purity as an uplifting power. + +In nineteen States and Territories we are laboring--six in the West +and thirteen in the South. In ninety-four schools and one hundred and +forty-two churches we have been directly teaching and preaching the +gospel during the past year. In them have 456 missionaries wrought +with holy purpose. 12,132 pupils have been taught in our schools; more +than seventeen thousand have received instruction in Bible truth in +our Sunday-schools; 782 conversions have been reported. $3,160.14 have +been reported as given in our mission churches for benevolence, and +$21,658.57 for their own expenses--again over last year of $660.03 in +benevolence and $2,322.62 in church expenses. Besides all this and all +that in various ways has failed to be reported to us, have been +the vacation work of our students, the large work of our previous +graduates, the indirect results of many kinds, and the unknown results +and influences of great power and far-reaching importance which have +gone forth from our institutions and missionaries whose only possible +record is in God's Book of Remembrance. + + * * * * * + +THE SOUTH. + +In the South, we are directly reaching three classes--the colored +people, the mountain whites, and the new settlers from the North and +from the old countries. Indirectly we are reaching many more. The +schools we plant often incite others to plant schools; the houses of +worship we aid in erecting cause others to be erected. A single neat, +but inexpensive building for a country church of colored people has +been known to occasion the building or repairing of at least nine +church buildings of neighboring white people. The incontestably good +results of our work among the colored people are slowly but surely +undermining race prejudice. In spite of all the race trouble during +the past year and the increasingly bitter utterances of some papers +and some public speakers, during no other year in the history of our +country have so many manly words in favor of the Negro been printed in +Southern papers, and sounded from the pulpits and platforms of the +South. It was in a Southern University and before a Southern audience +that a Southern man, a Bishop of a Southern church which took the name +Southern when it declared for slavery, this year uttered these words: + + "It is a travesty on religion, this disposition to canonize + missionaries who go to the Dark Continent, while we have + nothing but social ostracism for the white teacher who is + doing a work no less noble at home. The solution to the race + problem rests with the white people who live among the blacks, + and who are willing to become their teachers in a missionary + spirit." + +Cruel and unreasoning is prejudice, but when the public platforms, and +especially the pulpits, begin to yield in their utterances to the sway +of logic and humanity, by and by public opinion will feel their force. +Our institutions and our missionaries have compelled the respect of +the Southern people. This year many expressions of it have been heard. + + * * * * * + +_EDUCATIONAL WORK._ + +CHARTERED INSTITUTIONS. + +During the past year we have directly sustained five chartered +institutions in the South--Fisk University, Talladega College, +Tougaloo University, Straight University and Tillotson Institute. +Every year that passes emphasizes anew that these are most wisely +located, so that each is a center of far-reaching power, and +supplements the work of all the others. + +Fisk University at Nashville, Tenn., with its 503 students, has had a +year of great prosperity, and solid, telling work. Its buildings have +been full, the quality of the work done has been excellent. A graduate +of Fisk recently took his diploma from an Eastern school of medicine, +with a rank two per cent. higher than any other man in his class. +Another graduate of Fisk is a missionary in Africa under the American +Board, and is not only declared by the Secretaries to be one of its +best missionaries, but has shown such business capacity that he has +been chosen treasurer of his mission. His wife, a worthy helpmeet, +is also a graduate of this institution. Fisk has high ideals--few +institutions in the South have higher ones, or come nearer reaching +them. + +Talladega College, in Talladega, Ala., has had 427 students in all +departments. Its year's work has shown most satisfactory results. +Talladega is closely connected with the church work of the State. All +the pastors in the Congregational State Association but four are from +its theological department and several other States have found pastors +there. The last State Association, with its fine body of young men, +educated, dignified and earnest, was a most emphatic demonstration of +the good work done in this institution. The students of Talladega have +carried forward during the past year, under direction of a member +of the Faculty, a systematic mission work in the surrounding +neighborhoods, which has yielded large results, both in the good done +in the neighborhoods and in the training received by the workers for +future usefulness. + +Tougaloo University has been filled to overflowing with 343 students, +and after the last inch of room had been filled, scores had to be +turned away. This school is situated almost in the center of the +State, and reaches a far larger region not limited by State lines. +It is near the border of the Yazoo country, which has begun to be so +wondrously developed, and is so rapidly filling with colored people. +The evangelization and enlightenment of this new Africa must largely +come through Tougaloo. Here must be trained preachers, teachers and +other leaders of character for this new region, as well as for the +older portions of the State. Good, solid work has been done here +all through the year, and preparation has been made for even better +results in the future. + +Straight University, in New Orleans, La., is peculiarly situated for +an important and far-reaching work. It draws its students not only +from the States, but also from Mexico and the West Indies--484 +last year. With the enlarged accommodations for the primary and +intermediate work which have been planned, this institution will be +better prepared to meet the demands of higher education. + +Tillotson Institute, at Austin, Texas, the youngest of our chartered +institutions, has had a prosperous year with 230 students, in the +Primary, Intermediate, Grammar, Normal, College Preparatory and +College departments. Situated at the capital of the great empire of +Texas, it is destined to be an educational, religious and evangelistic +centre, a power for the building up of the kingdom of Christ. It +greatly needs enlarged accommodations. Where is the Lord's steward who +is ready to give it at once the imperatively needed Girls' Hall? + + +NORMAL AND GRADED SCHOOLS. + +Next to our chartered institutions come our normal schools. These have +the same course of study up to the college department as the chartered +institutions have. These normal schools are eighteen in number, and +are situated at Lexington and Williamsburg, Ky.; Memphis, Jonesboro, +Grand View and Pleasant Hill, Tenn.; Wilmington and Beaufort, N.C.; +Charleston and Greenwood, S.C.; Atlanta, Macon, Savannah, Thomasville +and McIntosh, Ga.; Athens, Mobile and Marion, Ala. Adding to these +the normal departments of our five chartered institutions, gives us +twenty-three normal schools in the South. + +Besides these, we have in the South thirty-seven which we class as +common schools. Eight of these are graded, with two or three teachers +each. Nearly all are parochial schools. The teachers are in both the +day schools and the Sunday-schools, and are not only school teachers, +but church missionaries. They train the young of our congregations +for greater usefulness, encourage many of the most promising to go to +higher institutions, teach the parents better ideas of home life, and +lead all ages to a more intelligent and spiritual worship. + + +INDUSTRIAL WORK. + +Nearly all our schools--chartered, normal and even common--give some +industrial training. + +At Fisk, the young men are taught wood-working and printing; the young +women, nursing, cooking, dress-making and house-keeping. + +At Talladega, the young men learn farming, carpentry, painting, +glazing, tinning, blacksmithing and printing; the young women, +cooking, house-keeping, plain sewing and other needle-work. + +At Tougaloo, the young men learn farming, carpentry, blacksmithing, +wheelwrighting, painting, turning and tinning; the young women, +sewing, dressmaking, cooking and housekeeping. + +At Straight, the young men receive instruction in printing, +carpentry, and floriculture; the young women, needlework, cooking and +housekeeping. + +At Tillotson, carpentry is taught the young men; needlework, cooking +and housekeeping, the young women. + +Our normal schools at Memphis, Tenn., Macon, Ga., and Williamsburg, +Ky., have carpentry, printing, and other industrial training for the +young men, and training in the various arts of home life for the young +women. + +At Wilmington, Charleston, Savannah, Macon, Thomasville, Athens, Ala., +Marion, Mobile, Pleasant Hill, Sherwood, and other normal, graded and +common schools, the young women are trained in the things which they +will most need in making comfortable and pleasant homes. Indeed, we +make it our special care that the girls shall everywhere in our work +be taught these things, so essential to the uplifting of a people. +In many places where we have no schools, the pastor's wife, or our +special lady missionary, is doing this same kind of work. + + +THEOLOGICAL SCHOOLS. + +At Fisk, Talladega, Tougaloo and Straight, there have been during +the year theological classes. The Theological Department of Howard +University, at Washington, has been supported by this Association. +Even in some of our normal schools Biblical instruction has been given +to some who are now preachers and some who intend to preach. But +the number trained has not been sufficient to supply our pastorless +churches. The need of a general theological seminary for our churches +in the South is becoming imperative. The extensive enlargement of +our church work, which ought to begin at once, can scarcely be made +successful without this. Who is the one to seize this opportunity +to establish an institution of untold possibilities in advancing the +Kingdom of Christ on earth--a place where ministers shall be prepared +for the work in the South and for foreign missions in Africa? + + + STATISTICS OF EDUCATIONAL WORK IN THE SOUTH. + + Total number of Schools 60 + Total number of Instructors 260 + Total number of Pupils 10,094 + Theological Students 82 + Law Students 10 + College Students 51 + College Preparatory Students 103 + Normal Students 784 + Grammar Grades 2,127 + Intermediate Grades 3,181 + Primary Grades 3,773 + In two grades 17 + + +_CHURCH WORK IN THE SOUTH._ + +Our church work has necessarily been of slow growth. Churches might +have been multiplied, had we thought it best to lower the standard +near the level of the old churches, and acknowledge wild ravings as +belonging in the worship of God. We have believed that our churches +should mean new ideas and intelligent worship. We have knowingly lent +our aid to nothing else. + +These churches are gathered into Associations, and the fine bodies +of pastors and delegates which come together in these, present a most +emphatic testimony to the value of the work done in the past, and are +an earnest of what the future will show. + +Revivals--some of them of great power--have been reported to us from +the Plymouth Church, Washington, D.C., Fisk University, Memphis, +Jonesboro, Sherwood, Glen Mary, Oakdale, Athens and Pine Mountain, +Tenn.; Montgomery and Florence, Ala.; Tougaloo and Jackson, Miss.; +Straight University, New Orleans, and Corpus Christi, Texas. Many +others of our churches have had a quiet work of grace, by which +additions have been made to them. + +We report new churches at Glen Mary and Athens, Tenn.; Roseland, La; +Fort Payne and Alco, Ala. This makes the whole number of our churches +in the South 136. + +Besides these churches, there are our churches among the Indians and +the work of gathering the Chinese into churches in California. + +We are praying and laboring for the eternal salvation of millions, the +establishment through the grace of God, the atoning blood of Christ, +and the work of the Holy Spirit, of character which shall meet the +tests of the Judgment Day and the needs of eternal association with +purity. In aiming at this ultimate result, our missionaries are doing +a work of inestimable importance for the nation and the world. They +are successfully working upon some of the great problems of this +country, which armies and millions of money have failed, and of +necessity must fail, to solve. Nothing but the "glorious gospel of +the blessed God," taught from the pulpit and the teacher's desk, and +illustrated in the eloquent lives of consecrated missionaries, can +change the idol worshiper from heathen China, the wild-man of the +West, the half-heathen Negro so recently in the cruel degradation +of slavery, those of our own race in the bonds of ignorance and +immorality--so that they shall have and manifest an intelligent and +worthy manhood and womanhood. Nothing else can meet cruel prejudice, +which would forever deny full manhood or womanhood to those called to +it by God himself, and pour oil upon its angry waves until they shall +be still. + +Our plan of work in the South is often misunderstood and often +misrepresented. It is not our plan to force the races together. It is +not our plan to agitate questions which arouse the prejudices of the +Southern people. We do not agitate. Quietly, steadily, patiently, +lovingly, our missionaries seek to lift up the degraded, enlighten +the ignorant, and bring them all to Christ, well knowing that bitter +prejudice cannot forever stand opposed to an enlightened, cultivated, +Christian people, whatever may be their color or their past condition. +We have nothing to do with the question of social equality in the +South any more than we have in the North. We are not even trying to +force the races together in the churches. We have no principles which +would prevent our aiding two churches in the same town--one with a +membership of white, the other of colored people. We have done it. +In our church work, we simply maintain that a Christian church should +stand ready to fellowship any one whom Christ fellowships, that it +should turn no one away because of his color, or because he, his +father or his mother was a slave. We maintain that there is +no Christian reason why there should be either State or local +organizations of churches which will not fellowship churches whose +memberships differ in race. We seek to establish churches and other +institutions which dare interpret Christianity as Christ taught +it, and which will not yield a Christian principle for enlarged +statistics. There are caste churches enough in the South. No more are +needed. If Congregationalism can go there true to its history, true to +its real convictions, true to that gospel which successfully faced +the bitter prejudices of Jew and Gentile with the broad invitation, +"Whosoever will, may come," then it goes to become a mighty power and +to win both a place for itself and other churches, in time, to accept +the same broad interpretation of Christianity. + +This Association has faith in the power of the gospel, and, under +the reign of God, of the final triumph of the right. It is willing to +enter the doors now so wide open for missionary work, and to wait, if +need be, for that glory of the denomination, which is better than long +tables of statistics, the glory of adhering to the right. + +The time has now come when our church work can be greatly enlarged. +Our schools have been doing their work, and scattering all through the +South those who have learned what pure religion and spiritual worship +mean, and they are ready and longing for something better than they +find within their reach. We can now push our work as fast as the +churches of the North will furnish the money. We most earnestly appeal +for the means to enable us to greatly develop, during the coming year, +this department of the work. + + +CHURCH WORK AMONG NEW SETTLERS IN THE SOUTH. + +Wonderful and more wonderful tales are now reaching the world of the +unlimited resources of the South. They are a new discovery even to the +South itself. These stories of lumber and mineral wealth are turning +the tide thitherward. Towns and cities are beginning to spring up as +they have in the West, and both great need and rich opportunity call +for immediate missionary work. This new population is mostly, as yet, +from the North, though many from Wales, especially miners, and from +other countries of the old world are beginning to come in. In the +new towns they find no churches, in the old towns few whose ideas +and customs can satisfy their minds and hearts. Here is a great +opportunity. We can aid these people to establish churches which will +emphasize that interpretation of the Gospel which we believe to be +Christian. + +In Florida, Louisiana, Alabama and Tennessee we have already aided in +establishing such churches which have connected themselves--and gladly +so--with the regular State organizations of Congregational churches. +No direful results have followed. No fanaticism is in it. It is +simply doing the thing that is right and Christian. May such churches +continue to multiply in the "New South" and help to make it _new_ +indeed. + + + STATISTICS OF CHURCH WORK IN THE SOUTH. + + Number of Churches 136 + Number of Missionaries 113 + Number of Church Members 8,438 + Added during the year 989 + Added by profession of faith 734 + Scholars in Sunday-school 14,735 + + +_THE MOUNTAIN WORK._ + +Notwithstanding all the interest that has been manifested in our +mountain work, we feel sure that the churches do not realize the +magnitude of this field, the pressing needs of this people in the +heart of our country, the wonderful opportunities before us, and the +heart-stirring results already secured. + +Large portions of seven States--three or four hundred counties--with a +population of between two and three millions, claim our attention and +call for our work. Here is a country of untold natural resources. Here +is a people of good blood. Men of power have come from among them, +and shown of what they are capable. Side by side with the Northern +soldiers these mountaineers fought for the Union, or suffered in +prisons rather than fight against it. Where our schools and churches +have been established, men and women of worth and ability have stepped +out and become strong helpers in building up new institutions. But +away from these institutions and out of touch with the life of the +towns, we find a class of people whose condition in itself is a +Macedonian cry. Their windowless, stoveless, comfortless log cabins; +their so-called schools, in which on the roughest benches conceivable, +and without a desk, a slate, or a blackboard, with a teacher with +unkempt hair, ragged and dirty clothes, possibly bare feet, who +perhaps can scarcely read, the children study at the top of their +voices--_blab_ schools they call them--have for their course of +study the spelling book alone, and are taught that a word is correctly +spelled when all the letters are named, no matter in what order; their +so-called churches, with perhaps a monthly meeting during the summer +months, without Sunday-school, prayer meeting, or any form of church +work, without morality as a requisite of church membership, with an +illiterate ministry--a large number of the ministers cannot read even, +and what is worse in many cases are drunken, impure, and in every +way immoral; their children so easily gathered into day-schools and +Sunday-schools, and so responsive to the work done for them--all these +things appeal to us with pathetic power. Perhaps no missionary work +ever showed greater results in so short a time than those obtained in +these mountains. + +We have here in two States eleven schools and twenty-two churches. +Earnest calls have come to us to begin work in North Carolina and +Alabama. We feel sure that if the churches could hear these appeals +they would bid us respond. We have promised to begin work the coming +year in these States, and we must look to the churches to furnish us +the means. New lumbering and mining towns are springing up in this +mountain country, and immediate missionary work is their only hope. +A single one of these new towns, scarcely half-a-dozen years old, has +had already more than a hundred men shot in it, and this awful work +still goes on. This marvelously rich mineral region is sure to be +filled in the near future with these mining towns, and unless the +Christian work keeps pace with this kind of growth, this large +territory will become notorious for bloody scenes as no portion of our +land has ever been. Now is the time to preempt the country for Christ, +by planting at strategic points the church and the Christian school, +and through them to send forth to every part the pure, restraining and +elevating influences of the gospel. God's call to us to do this work +is loud and clear. Can we be faithful to Him and refuse to obey? + + * * * * * + +THE INDIANS. + +There are 260,000 Indians in this country. Compared with our great +fields in the South, this is small. But there is an emphasis on this +work which is not made by figures. Those who were native to this +land have been made foreigners. Those who were the first to receive +missionary work here, and who responded as readily as any heathen +people ever did, are still largely pagans. While one Christian has +been telling the Indians the story of the gospel, another calling +himself a Christian has been shooting them. They have not yet had a +full chance to learn what Christianity is. From place to place they +have been pushed so that they have not had time to build their altars +to the true God. We have wronged them and we owe them more than we +shall pay. We shall meet our obligations but in part, when we do all +we can to save them. + +We have in bur Indian work eighteen schools and six churches, one new +church having been added this year. In these, 68 missionaries have +been doing noble service for the Indian and for the country. Shall +the Indian problem forever perplex and shame both the country and the +Church? Will not the churches enable us to send all the workers and do +all the work needed to be done, and thus hasten the day when it can be +joyfully proclaimed that the Indians are evangelized--no longer pagans +and foreigners, but our fellow Christians and our fellow citizens? + + + STATISTICS OF INDIAN WORK. + + Churches 6 + Church Members 401 + Schools 18 + Missionaries and Teachers 68 + Theological Students 24 + Normal Students 11 + Grammar Grades 32 + Intermediate Grades 120 + Primary 495 + Total Pupils 658 + Sunday-school Scholars 1,332 + + * * * * * + +THE CHINESE. + +At our Annual Meeting in 1887 we were urged to bring the attention of +the churches to this their phenomenal opportunity and duty, to give +the gospel at short range and nominal cost to Asia's millions, and to +support their hopeful and fruitful mission with all possible +sympathy and aid. Again, in 1888, the need of immediate and great +re-enforcement and enlargement was urged upon us. + +Sixteen missions have been in operation during the year, and in them +thirty-five workers, ten of them Chinese, have been employed. 1,380 +have been enrolled as pupils in our schools--249 more than last year. +40 have this year come out of heathenism into Christianity, and the +whole number who have confessed Christ in these missions and have +been received as true converts is above 750. This means much for the +Chinese in this country, and it means missionaries for China as well. + + * * * * * + +ENLARGEMENTS AND IMPROVEMENTS. + +Extensive building and improvements have been called for this year. +At Lexington, Ky., the Chandler Normal School building is nearly +completed at a cost of $15,000--the gift of Mrs. Chandler. At +Williamsburg, Ky., thirteen acres of land have been secured for +the enlargement of our very successful school there and the large +industrial building moved upon it. $2,300 of the expense for this was +paid by our generous friend, Mr. Stephen Ballard, of Brooklyn, +N.Y. The increasing number of boarders at this institution has made +necessary a new and larger dining room and kitchen, which have been +built. + +At Nashville, Tenn., a commodious two-story building of modern +architecture, with rooms for physical culture and industrial training, +has been erected. + +At Memphis, Tenn., the Le Moyne school building, which in the winter +was partially destroyed by fire, has been restored by the insurance. + +At Knoxville, Tenn., the old church building, which was unfit for +use, has been built over and a parsonage added, making a neat and +convenient place of worship, and a home for the minister. + +At Jellico, Tenn., the building used for church and school purposes +has been considerably enlarged to meet the wants of a large +Sunday-school and congregation. + +At Grand View, Tenn., a new building has been put up for school and +dormitory purposes. + +At Pleasant Hill, Tenn., a large three-story Girls' Hall is in process +of construction to enable the mountain girls to take advantage of this +successful normal school. + +At Pine Mountain, Tenn., the church building has been completed and +furnished for school as well as church purposes and a teachers' home +has been built. + +At Beaufort, N.C., the large old school building known as Washburn +Seminary, has been placed in the hands of the Association and refitted +and a new normal school started in it. The church building, also, has +received many greatly needed repairs. + +At Chapel Hill, N.C., a brick church building, formerly belonging to +the Southern Methodists, has been purchased for a school, and will be +used also for church services. + +At Macon, Ga., the Ballard School building has been completed and +furnished at a cost of $14,000, and a Girls' Hall erected at a cost of +$7,500--two more generous gifts of Mr. Stephen Ballard, of Brooklyn. + +At Savannah, Ga., extensive repairs have been made on the Beach +Institute building. + +At Thomasville, Ga., the school facilities have been increased by +moving a school building in the town, to the Connecticut Industrial +School. + +At McIntosh, Ga., land and buildings have been bought for the +enlargement of this historic, successful and intensely interesting +school. + +At Woodville, Ga., the church and school building which had been +nearly wrecked, first by the Charleston earthquake and then by a +cyclone, has been made solid and comfortable. + +At Byron, Ga., land has been bought and preparations have been made +for a church building. + +At Fairbanks, Fla., a school building and lot worth $2,500 have been +given to us by Mrs. Merrill, of Bangor, Me., on condition that we +maintain a school there. + +At Marion, Ala., we have refitted a large dwelling for a greatly +needed school building. + +At New Decatur, Ala., a new church building is about completed. + +At Tougaloo, Miss., the large Girls' Hall, owing to the peculiarities +of the soil--alluvium, 300 feet deep--unknown when it was built, had +been crushing its foundations into the ground until it was on the +point of falling. Our own missionary and student force lifted it up, +put under it new foundations and repaired it in every part. At a cost +of between $4,000 and $5,000, they saved a $15,000 building which +engineers and contractors pronounced a hopeless wreck. + +At Jackson, Miss., our church has been nicely seated with new pews. + +At Hammond, La., a new church building has been erected. + +At Straight University, a new industrial building has been put up with +student labor, and a small greenhouse has been built. For a long +time the need of enlargement there has been felt, and a lot near the +present buildings has been bought, on which is to be a school house +for the primary and intermediate grades. + +At the Fort Berthold Mission, North Dakota, a new church, school and +mission home building has been built and named the Moody Station, +after the giver of the money which built it; also a small church +building at Moody Station No. 2. + +At Standing Rock a new school, church and mission building--called +after the donor, the Sankey Station--has been erected. At Fort Yates, +we report a new church building--the Darling Memorial. + +These are the most important enlargements and improvements. Of course, +there are many other smaller ones throughout our large field. + + * * * * * + +WOMAN'S WORK. + +Twenty-six Woman's State Organizations now co-operate with us in +our missionary work. Each year shows the increasing importance and +helpfulness of the Woman's Bureau. From it go counsel, help and +inspiration to the lady teachers in the field, and missionary news and +helpful suggestions to the ladies of the State Associations. Through +it pass the sympathy and the help of the earnest workers in the older +churches to the earnest workers in our mission churches and schools. +The people for whom we labor cannot be saved either for this world +or the next, unless the women who make the homes are lifted out of +coarseness and vice, and taught true womanhood and womanly duties +and arts. The Woman's Bureau is a most potent factor in the work of +bringing the Gospel to the rescue of womanhood in our mission fields. + + + FINANCES. + + The current receipts have been $376,216.88. + The expenditures, including the payment of the debt + of last year of $5,641.21, have been $371,745.21. + ------------- + Leaving a balance in hand September 30, 1889 $4,471.67. + +It is with devout gratitude to God that we present these figures, +showing that we have been enabled during the past year to meet all +current expenditures, to liquidate the indebtedness of last year and +to show a balance of over four thousand dollars now in the treasury. +This result is not only gratifying in respect to the past, but it is +hopeful in respect to the future. We trust the constituents of the +Association, who are so deeply interested in the success of the work +entrusted to us, will see to it that the coming year shall terminate +as favorably as this. + + +DANIEL HAND FUND. + +In addition to the above receipts, the Association has received from +Daniel Hand the munificent gift of one million eight hundred and +ninety-four dollars and twenty-five cents ($1,000,894.25) to be known +as the Daniel Hand Fund for The Education of Colored People. The +income only of this Fund is to be used. The amount received as income +from this Fund for the nine months to September 30, is $36,999.71. +This amount is not included in the current receipts stated above, +but is a Special Fund and has been appropriated under the terms and +conditions of the Trust. From this income we have not only aided +more than three hundred students who otherwise would not have had the +privilege of attending any school, but have also greatly enlarged +our school accommodations at Chapel Hill and Beaufort, N.C., Phoenix, +S.C., Thomasville and McIntosh, Ga., Selma, Ala., and New Orleans, +La. Another year will afford opportunities to a much greater number +of pupils, and will still further enlarge our school facilities in the +special lines of work contemplated by this gift. It was a noble gift +from a noble man and it will do a noble work. + +The overwhelming majority of the Southern Negroes are still found +in the rural districts, where schools are few and far apart. It is +expected that the gift of Daniel Hand will take educational privileges +to thousands of these in the country and on the plantations, who but +for this must have lived as in the blackness of night. + + * * * * * + +It has been found that with the West ever growing, and Congregational +churches multiplying, the field of our Western District Secretary +was too large for him possibly to cover it all. Hence this immense +district has been divided, and another has been established with its +centre at Cleveland, Ohio. Rev. C.W. Hiatt, a graduate of Wheaton +College and Oberlin Seminary, has been placed in charge of this +district, and has already entered upon the work. We bespeak for him a +hearty welcome from the churches. + +Prof. Edward S. Hall, a graduate of Amherst College and a teacher of +long and successful experience, has been chosen a Field Superintendent +for the Southern work, and entered upon his duties at the beginning of +our year. + +We again make grateful acknowledgment of our indebtedness to +the American Bible Society for its grants of Bibles, and to the +Congregational Sunday-school and Publishing Society for its grants of +books and lesson helps, to our poorer churches and Sunday-schools. + + * * * * * + +This much we report. But how little can figures and words present the +needs of these great fields. How little idea can they convey of the +extent of the work done by our earnest, self-sacrificing, faithful and +able missionaries. + +We turn from the past to the future. The work attempted and done is +great, the work unattempted and not done is far greater. Should every +church and individual in the land double last year's contribution this +year, we would be compelled still to leave greatly needed work undone. +In view of boundless opportunities, we can ask no less of the +churches than that which the recent National Council at Worcester +recommended--five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) for the work +of the coming year. Brethren, with more prayer, more consecration +and more self-denial let us take up together this vast work and these +difficult problems which God has set before us. + + + + +THE CHINESE. + + +REVIEW OF THE YEAR. + +BY REV. WM. C. POND, D.D. + +Our fiscal year ended August 31st. To a stranger looking on as I close +its accounts, there might be nothing visible but an array of figures +"dry as dust." But if that on-looker could count the heart-beats, as +I draw near to making up the balance, could watch the rising tide of +feeling, could hear the out-burst of thanksgiving sounding through +the chambers of the soul, and now and again breaking the silence of +my study with the cry:--"What shall I render unto the Lord for all his +benefits," he would realise that there was something in those figures +not so very dry. _All bills paid_, and even a balance much larger +than usual left to help out the too scant resources of the new year! +I find myself saying again and again: "How can this be?" It looked +so dark four months ago; it looks so bright to-day. God has answered +prayer, has been true to his promise, has changed to blessing the +stress that we were under by placing thus upon our work the seal of +his own and his people's approbation. + +Sixteen missions have been in operation during the year, all but three +of them for the entire twelve months. Thirty-five workers have been +employed, ten of whom have been Chinese brethren. The months of labor +aggregate 354. + +The total number who have been enrolled as pupils in our schools is +1,380. This is larger by 249 than the enrollment of the previous year, +and by 336 than that of the year before. The _average_ membership +month by month was in the aggregate, 523; the average attendance, 319. +These numbers are also in excess of the corresponding ones in several +previous years. Among these members of our schools there are 211 that +profess to have ceased from idolatry, and 150 who are believed to be +true disciples of Christ. I cannot now state the exact number who have +professed conversion during the year, but I believe it to be about +_forty_. If so, the total number who have declared themselves to +be Christians and have been accepted as such by our brethren, is more +than 750. + +The expenditures have been $11,019, of which more than 1,600 came +from the Chinese themselves, while their offerings for mission work in +China and expenses met in connection with Christian work in California +would show a giving on their part of at least $2,500 during the year. + +SOME OTHER TOKENS OF GOOD.--Our helper, Loo Quong, writes as follows +from Los Angeles under date of Sept. 20th: "Now I have some good news +to tell you this time. The first one is this, that _five_ of +our brethren will receive their baptism on Sunday in the First +Congregational Church. I brought them all down to the church to be +proved by the pastor and the deacons, and they all gave their good +testimonies to the satisfaction of all. Dr. Hutchins [Rev. R.G. +Hutchins, D.D., pastor] was so glad on hearing this good news again. +There will now be eleven Chinese members among his white flock. +He spoke very kind towards the Chinese and our school in their +prayer-meeting, as he always did so in his preaching." Another item of +good news is, that by an arrangement among the ladies of this church, +a reduction in the teaching force which I have been compelled to make +is to be made good by volunteer service, each lady giving one evening +in each week. I earnestly hope that this good example may be followed +in others of our churches. + +At San Buenaventura the new mission house, finished several months +ago, gives great satisfaction. It is not the property of the Mission, +but has been built for it and is rented to us at cost. We can rely +upon the use of it as long as the work continues in that place,--that +is, if the building lasts so long. We were paying $12.00 per month for +a low, ill-located and ill-built, untidy shanty, yet the best place +that could be had. We now pay $8.00 per month for a neat, commodious +building which furnishes not only an attractive school-room, but +living rooms also, for which our brethren pay a small rent, and thus +make for themselves something very like a Christian home. Four +of these brethren were recently baptised and received to the +Congregational Church. + +No mention has yet been made in these columns of the new mission +house in Oakland which we hold by the same tenure as that at +San Buenaventura. It could not be better located, is a very neat +structure, substantial also, and planned expressly for our work. It, +too, is rented to us at cost. A hint of what goes on there, and of +what goes _out_ from there, aside from the labors of the school, +may be found in these few sentences from a letter of Yong Jin: "One +scholar promised to be Christian was two weeks (i.e. two weeks ago), +and he will join our Association to-night. I hope his soul will be +saved. I had preaching on the street last Sunday and before last +Sunday. I shall go next Sunday too. I hope you pray for me and this +school. May [may be] I can conquer the evil and bring more number to +the school and to the Association. I believe God has a great power." + + + + +BUREAU OF WOMAN'S WORK. + +MISS D.E. EMERSON, SECRETARY. + + +We are glad to see the State Organizations increasing. Now let every +one become a working Union, bringing funds into the treasury of the +American Missionary Association, toward meeting the imperative needs +of its Woman's Work, and we shall rejoice indeed. + +OUR INDUSTRIAL TEACHERS are heavily taxed just now in +providing sewing material for classes. We need basted patchwork, and +basted under garments for the sewing departments throughout the +field, but especially for Anniston and Mobile, Alabama; Memphis and +Jonesboro, Tennessee; Tougaloo, Mississippi; and Austin, Texas. One +missionary writes, "I find my classes very large. In beginning I have +about one hundred girls in sewing, about thirty in Household Economy +and Cooking, and later I shall have a large class in Nursing. This +work added to the care of the Mission Home will, I fear, be more than +I can carry, unless I have help, and I do not see how I can let one +bit of the work stop. I am sure there are plenty of good friends at +the North who will gladly help when they know." + +WE HAVE ADDED a special industrial teacher to the force in +Trinity School at Athens, Alabama. Miss Perkins writes: "I am charmed +with the school and the inside of the building. I wish each day that +our Northern friends could look in at Chapel. I think they would feel +repaid in great measure by the goodly sight. I was glad to find a +Christian Endeavor Society in the school, it seemed so like home." + + * * * * * + +WOMAN'S WORK IN NORTH CAROLINA. + +BY MISS A.E. FARRINGTON. + +On Thursday, Oct. 3d, a Woman's Missionary Union was organized for the +Congregational churches of North Carolina. A year ago, at the meeting +of the State Association in Wilmington, the subject was discussed, and +a committee was appointed to confer with the ladies of the churches +in regard to a local organization in each church. The plan met with +favor, and on coming together this year it was found that nearly every +church reported a missionary society in some form. All were therefore +ready for the State Union, when the Association of Congregational +Churches convened in the little country church at Oaks. As there was +no chapel or church parlor to be placed at the disposal of the ladies, +they withdrew to the grove, and there under the tall, symmetrical +oaks by the veranda of the little mission home of Miss Douglass, the +organization was effected with the aid of Miss Emerson, of New York, +who was present. + +The following evening a public meeting was held at which reports were +heard from the local societies. The dark countenances were light with +eager interest, as they listened to the account of the work done +by the women. One told of a society, organized in February with two +members who became President and Treasurer. The numbers soon increased +to eight, all of them hard-working women, one of them the mother of +twelve children for whom she found it difficult to provide, yet that +society reported $10.61 as the result of their eight months' work. + +Another reported a weekly Bible reading in connection with the Woman's +Society, at which one who could read took the Bible while others +gathered around, and "as they got to understand the Word" they spoke +to one another of the work of the Lord in their own hearts. + +Report was made of a contribution to the Indian work at Fort Berthold, +also a quilt made by the little girls for a Christmas present to the +Indian children. + +One society, embracing both home and foreign work, cared for the sick +and needy of its own church, and also sent contributions to Africa. + +Knowing, as I do, the poverty of this people and the sacrifices they +make, I could but feel that if in the North there should be as ready +and proportionate a response, the treasury of the Lord would be +overflowing. + + * * * * * + +WOMAN'S STATE ORGANIZATIONS. + +CO-OPERATING WITH THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION. + + +MAINE. + +WOMAN'S AID TO A.M.A. + + Chairman of Committee--Mrs. C.A.

Barnes & Co. publish a great variety of valuable works. +There is nothing better in the line of hymn books than their "Carmina +Sanctorum," edited by Zachary Eddy, Lewis Ward Mudge and the late Dr. +Roswell Dwight Hitchcock. This book of sacred song has already been +adopted by over _400 CHURCHES_ of different denominations--_The +New York Observer._ + +Any congregation that likes to have its hymnal represent careful +thought and full culture, would do well to examine this collection +of "Carmina Sanctorum," recently published by A.S. Barnes & Co. The +editors have taken it for granted that choirs and congregations are +desiring, not revolution, but only improvement in their service +of song, i.e.--the plan is conservative, but not narrowly so. It +represents the great communion of saints of all ages and nations. +All corners of the vast hymnic field have been drawn on.--_The +Independent, New York._ + +"Carmina Sanctorum" contains 746 hymns, 21 doxologies, 43 chants, 450 +tunes and 7 separate indexes. The hymns are only the choicest, and +they have been carefully edited by that accomplished authority in +hymnody, Dr. Hitchcock, who gives the date and authorship of each hymn +and notes all abbreviations and changes in each page. The responses +are selected from the revision and make a complete manual. The cream +of the old [tunes] is all here. The cream of the new is all here. +As The AMERICAN CHURCHES HAVE GROWN IN TASTE AND CAPACITY FOR +MUSICAL EXPRESSION IN WORSHIP, THIS BOOK SEEMS TO MEET THEIR WANTS +COMPLETELY, GIVING THEM PLENTY OF TUNES, THEY CAN AND WILL SING, AND +AT THE SAME TIME EDUCATING THEIR TASTE AND IMPROVING THEIR PUBLIC +WORSHIP. It is also a pleasant feature that when new tunes are +furnished to certain hymns, the more familiar ones will be found +on the same page. To all this may be added that four editions +are published, two with music and two without, and they are all +cheap.--_The New York Evangelist._ + + +SPECIMEN COPIES FURNISHED ON APPLICATION. + + A.S.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

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