It presents the likeness of a +man of fine physical proportions and with energy and intelligence +impressed on the features. The signature at the bottom of the picture is +copied from one of Mr. Hand's recent letters, and shows the remarkable +physical vigor of a man in his 88th year.</p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a name="NEW_YEARS_GREETINGS" id="NEW_YEARS_GREETINGS"></a>NEW YEAR'S GREETINGS.</h2> + +<p>The New Year opens upon us auspiciously, and we send forth our joyous +greetings to our patrons at home, and to our fellow workers in the field. +Above all we thank God for putting us into this ministry for the poor and +the ignorant, and for the success granted to us in prosecuting it. We +have had sorrows and anxieties, but they have been followed by +consolations and deliverances. The hand that penned the "Happy New Year" +in our MISSIONARY for last January, is now silent in the grave, but the +memory of Brother Powell's life and character is so precious that it +mitigates our loss. The yellow fever prevented the opening of many of our +schools, and awakened fears of widespread hindrance to our work +throughout the South; but the scourge was restrained, and the work now +goes on prosperously. Our last fiscal year drew towards its close with +the cloud of a large debt looming up, but our friends responded so +generously to our appeals, that the year ended with a debt so small as to +be only a salutary warning.</p> + +<p>But the crowning mercy of the year came at our Annual Meeting, when we +were able to announce the gift of over a million of dollars from that +generous friend of the poor Negro, Mr. Daniel Hand. It is a wonderful +gift, and comes in a good way. The income only can be used, and that will +do just <a name="page2" id="page2"></a><span class="pagenum">[2]</span>so much more for the Negro, and will not be applied to work now +in progress. We are tempted to fear that our patrons will diminish their +gifts because Mr. Hand has been so liberal. But we will have faith in +God, who has entrusted us with this great work, and we will enter upon +our new year with the full confidence that every friend of the +Association who appreciates our responsibilities to Christ and the +Nation, will decide that his gifts to us shall be increased and not +diminished in this year of grace 1889.</p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a name="Financial" id="Financial"></a><i>Financial.</i></h2> + +<p>Emphasis is added to the closing words of the preceding article by the +report of our Treasurer for the first two months of our fiscal year, +October and November. The receipts for those two months were, from +donations, $31,261.99; from estates, $3,961.29; from income, $1,822.72, +making a total for current work of $37,046. The Association needs $62,500 +for these two months. Let us remind our patrons that Mr. Hand's gift will +do its own work and not theirs. We think they will feel that it is only +honorable to let Mr. Hand's benefaction add so much new work, and that it +should not be used simply to relieve others. The great, pressing, and +stupendous work which rests upon this Association as the representative +of the churches, must not stand still. Patriots and statesmen are +becoming alarmed at the Southern situation, and while they will do what +they can to meet the emergency, we believe that the grand solution of the +problem is in the Christian enlightenment and the industrial progress of +the Negro. May God grant that the Christians of this land may not fail to +see their special responsibilities and to meet them in the spirit of +Christian liberality and self-sacrifice.</p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a name="Large_Gifts_of_the_Wealthy" id="Large_Gifts_of_the_Wealthy"></a><i>Large Gifts of the Wealthy.</i></h2> + +<p>It is refreshing to find in this grasping, selfish and money-making world +that there are wealthy men who amass fortunes and use them for noble +purposes. It is said that growing wealth only tightens the grip on the +money and hardens the heart against the calls of benevolence. But the +examples are accumulating that give shining evidence that there are noble +exceptions. Mr. Hand has added his name to the number. He knows the needs +of the colored people, and he devotes a vast fortune to their benefit. +But Mr. Hand has not exhausted the opportunities, even in the range of +the work of this Association, for blessing needy races of men, or of +aiding in the varied forms of effort for the colored people. The mountain +regions of the South present an unique and promising field of effort. The +inhabitants are a noble people, descendants of some of the best races +that settled America. Their mountain isolation separated them from the +people around them. The want of schools and churches left them ignorant, +their thin mountain lands kept <a name="page3" id="page3"></a><span class="pagenum">[3]</span>them poor; but they never held slaves and +they were loyal to the Union in the war. Railroads now penetrate their +mountains and valleys, and the hitherto unused wealth of mines and timber +is brought to light. A new future opens out to these people, and the +question is, "Shall that future be one of prosperity and piety, or one of +intemperance and infidelity?" Some other man wise and wealthy can do for +these people what Daniel Hand has done for the primary and industrial +education of the Negroes. But this does not exhaust the opening for large +investments in the work of the Association. The Indians are fewer in +number than the blacks or whites of the South, and their future will +sooner be determined by their being incorporated into the national life +as citizens, yet that problem is not settled, and a large fund could be +wisely used for their benefit. Then, too, our higher schools and colleges +need endowment, and our church work should be <i>indefinitely</i> +expanded.</p> + +<p>If this review does not succeed in drawing large gifts for these several +objects, it may at least serve to show that our wants are not all +provided for, and that smaller contributors have still the duty and the +privilege of aiding by gifts and prayer this good work of patriotism and +Christianity.</p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a name="THE_SOUTHERN_SITUATION" id="THE_SOUTHERN_SITUATION"></a>THE SOUTHERN SITUATION.</h2> + +<p>The position of the South is becoming once more clearly defined. Before +the war, it was fully formulated thus: The Negroes are an inferior race, +and slavery is their divinely ordained condition. To this was added: The +Negro question is purely local, and with it no one outside of the South +has any right to interfere. To these axioms agreed the press, the pulpit +and the politician. But the war came as an earthquake, with the utter +upheaval of these firm foundations.</p> + +<p>During the years of reconstruction and political agitation, uncertainty +prevailed, but now again the Southern position is becoming settled. It is +the old position with a variation. It runs: The Negroes are an inferior +race, and must be held as a peasant class in subjection to the superior +white race. To this the warning is again added: This is purely a domestic +affair, and all outsiders must keep tongues and hands off. This revised +version of the old theory is proclaimed by Senator Eustis in his now +somewhat famous article in the <i>Forum</i>. More recently it has been +re-affirmed in the fervid eloquence of Mr. Grady, of Atlanta, in his +address at Dallas, Texas.</p> + +<p>This is the same orator (he is an orator) who a few years since +electrified the whole country by his speech at the New England dinner, on +the "New South." But the logic of Southern events has driven him down +again to the platform of the "Old South." More recently still, the +Governor of South Carolina, in his message to the Legislature, has taken +the same position.</p> + +<p>These three gentlemen, representing the press and the politician, are +sustained <a name="page4" id="page4"></a><span class="pagenum">[4]</span>by the pulpit in the South. For example, the Presbyterian +church South repels all overtures for re-union with the Presbyterian +church North, because such a re-union would involve a practical +recognition of the equal manhood of the inferior race. The Presbyterian +church South does not stand alone on this platform. Other denominations +are arrayed side by side with it, and we fear that even the +Congregationalists in the South, with two Conferences in the same State, +one white and the other black, are in danger of being numbered with them.</p> + +<p>This is the Southern position. It portends the renewal of the old +antagonism. It repels the North, denying its right to interfere, and thus +draws again the sectional line; and above all, it sets up sharply the +antagonism of races, consigning the Negro permanently to an inferior +place. This implies, of course, that if the Negro will not quietly accept +this place, he must be compelled to do so by force of arms, and in this +struggle the North is notified that it has no right to interfere. We can +only express our amazement at this theory! With the memory of the war so +fresh, when the North broke over all warnings against interference, and +stepped in to aid the helpless slave, can the South now hope to make +these warnings any more efficacious? Can it hope that the North will +acquiesce in a quasi slavery, that sets aside substantially all that it +gained and established by the long war?</p> + +<p>And if the struggle comes again, what hope of success can the South +cherish? If in the last national struggle, it was overpowered when the +slave, as Mr. Grady acknowledges, guarded the house while his master +fought for his perpetual enslavement, what can it do when the Negroes +have tasted freedom for a quarter of a century, and now number nearly as +many as the whites in the South? It is for the white people of the South +to say whether that struggle shall come. The North does not desire it, +the Negro does not desire it, and we sincerely believe that a large share +of the people of the South do not want it. Rev. Dr. Haygood, the +efficient agent of the Slater Fund, in a recent article in <i>The +Independent</i>, in reply to Senator Eustis, voices, as we hope, the +sentiments of thoughtful and influential Southerners. But it remains to +be seen whether these wise counselors will be heard. Such voices were +uttered before the war, but they were drowned in the noise of sectional +hatred and the imperious demands of slavery. God grant that the sad +lesson of the past may be heeded.</p> + +<p>In the meantime, the A.M.A. will continue its efforts at what it believes +to be the true solution of the Southern problem—the Christian, +educational and industrial advancement of the colored people. With the +help of the great benefaction of Mr. Hand, whose money was made in the +South, and is now consecrated to the South, we shall go forward with +greater zeal and encouragement. We are not partizans; we are not +sectionalists. We are working for the good of both whites and blacks, and +for the peace and prosperity of our common country.</p> + +<p><a name="page5" id="page5"></a><span class="pagenum">[5]</span>The election of Benjamin Harrison as President of the United States, and +the restoration of the Republican party to power, awakens special +attention to the probable attitude of both towards the great Southern +problem. We have no opinion to express on the subject, and we have no +interest in it as a mere party question, but only as it may lead to the +sober and earnest investigation of that transcendently important problem +which requires the unbiased and honest consideration of the patriot, the +statesman and the Christian.</p> + +<hr style='width: 45%;' /> + +<p><a name="PARAGRAPHS" id="PARAGRAPHS"></a>The combination of the Christian powers of Europe for the suppression of +the nefarious African slave-trade is a measure sanctioned by Christianity +and humanity, and is in the interest of the world's commerce. The effort +can be hopefully undertaken. The abolition of slavery in the Western +Hemisphere—once the great slave mart—confines the outlet of the traffic +to the eastern coast of Africa, and the blockade can be made more +effective than when both sides of the great continent had to be guarded.</p> + +<hr style='width: 45%;' /> + +<p>An esteemed Christian brother, who made his wife a Life Member of the +Association in 1854, and who has added a member to the list each year +since by his personal gift, speaks of the pleasure he finds in thus +contributing to our treasury, and at the same time enlisting others in +our work. We commend to our patrons this helpful and agreeable way of +doing good. Try it.</p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a name="ITEMS_FROM_THE_FIELD" id="ITEMS_FROM_THE_FIELD"></a>ITEMS FROM THE FIELD.</h2> + +<p>From a teacher in one of our schools in the mountain country:</p> + +<p>"As I go among the homes I continually see something new which shows me +how great are the needs of the people here. The primitive ways and +simplicity of the mountain people strike me and I sometimes imagine that +I am in a country a century behind the times. Last week I made a call at +the home of one of my pupils whose mother was sick. As I entered the room +I could not distinguish the faces of those who sat about the fire, for +the room had no windows. The only light that came in was through a door +in an outer room, and it seemed to let in more cold than light. I +wondered how much work or enjoyment could be got out of such dark, small +quarters, while the sick woman told of her struggle with sickness and +poverty. She also gave me some history of her early life, which showed a +great lack of necessary instruction in what are the best things. The +children of this home look like sickly plants which have always lived in +the dark and which have never felt the invigorating influence of God's +beautiful sunshine. We are praying that the sunshine of God's love may be +felt in the hearts of this people, even if there are no windows in their +homes to let it in."</p> + + +<p><a name="page6" id="page6"></a><span class="pagenum">[6]</span>From a pastor in Kentucky:</p> + +<p>"We are busily at work in this mountain country, and as we think of wider +possibilities for the mountain boys, you cannot imagine our gratitude in +view of our hopes that a new industrial department will be opened. It has +been the subject of many a prayer in the closet and in teachers' +meetings, and we feel that all that is needed will be supplied according +to His riches who gave himself for us. He has heard our united petitions +for a pastor to gather the straying flock and relieve our overworked +missionaries. We held our weekly teachers' meeting on Friday. Last +evening as we were sitting together as usual, one spoke of the coming +pastor, when lo, he was ushered in. He has really come. We rejoice in our +work, but we see so much just ahead. I long for the time to come when +this interesting people shall be a 'peculiar' people in the better +sense."</p> + + +<p>From a teacher at Jonesboro, Tenn.:</p> + +<p>"Each week brings new accessions to the school: there are now nearly a +hundred enrolled. All the seats in the primary room are in use, so that +when Miss Smith has a full school she has to seat some of her scholars in +chairs. The seats in Miss Page's room are also full. We have eight pupils +who room here and board themselves. Four of them come from Scott Co., +Va., coming ninety miles. They are young men and women, but they have had +very little opportunity for education. They are anxious to learn and try +to carefully obey the rules of the school. We hope they will gain much +from church and Sunday-school and the influences thrown around them here, +as well as the lessons from the school room. Yesterday we had +applications from four others from the same region for accommodations—a +young married man and his little daughter, seven years old—a young man +and a young woman. We said, 'Come and we will do our best for you;' but +if others apply we shall have to tell them we are full. These are just +the kind of people we want; eager to learn and willing to do the best +they can."</p> + + +<p>From a school in North Carolina:</p> + +<p>"Your letter of the 28th, informing us that we can have assistance from +the Hand Fund for a certain number of pupils, is received, and we have +had a continual thanksgiving ever since. If I could tell you how the +mothers looked when I told them, and if I could put down the tones of +their voices as well as their words, you would be sure that the help is +appreciated."</p> + + +<p>The pastor of the church and teacher of the Theological Department of +Straight University writes us:</p> + +<p>"The religious interest has so deepened that for several weeks I have +been preaching three times a week. Four or five prayer meetings have been +started by the students of their own accord in each other's rooms. Eleven +united with us on profession of faith at our last communion, and as many +<a name="page7" id="page7"></a><span class="pagenum">[7]</span>more have made a start at different meetings, and will unite with us at +the next communion. A remarkable feature about the work is the fact that +numbers of the older students who are most deeply interested are Roman +Catholics.

C.J. RYDER.</h4> + +<p>The pastor of a Boston church recently handed to the District Secretary +of the A.M.A. $1, saying as he did so: "That one dollar is really more +than some hundreds of dollars. It is the gift of a poor woman in my +congregation who depends upon her own labor for support. She gives this +dollar to the A.M.A. from her hard economy." It may be that God's decimal +pointing is not the same as ours in many cases.</p> + +<p>On a table of the same district office of the A.M.A., there stands a +little brown pasteboard box. In it are some tracts offered for sale. All +the proceeds from their sale go into the treasury of the Association. +These tracts <a name="page9" id="page9"></a><span class="pagenum">[9]</span>were printed at the expense of a poor woman who has spent a +long and useful life in service for others. She comes into that office +now and again to see if her gift is increasing. She is not fashionably +dressed. No! She never drives to the Congregational House in a carriage. +I doubt if she often enjoys the luxury of a street-car ride, although she +is upward of seventy years of age; and yet she never comes through that +office door but she brings with her the bright glory of spiritual +sunshine, and the wealth of her Lord's own presence. She is pinching +herself in almost painful economy that she may have $100 to give to this +great mission work before she dies, and</p> + +<div class="poem"><div class="stanza"> +<span class="i0">"Her great Redeemer shall call her to inherit<br /></span> +<span class="i0">The heaven of wealth long garnered up for her."<br /></span> +</div></div> + +<p>Now let us turn a moment to the other side of the A.M.A. work. I hold in +my hand a letter written upon this scrap of paper by a colored boy in the +South and sent to one of our missionaries who had come North:</p> + +<p>"<i>Oct. 21.</i> My Dear Friend, Mr. Brown—I wish you would if you please if +you please send me three dollars and a half now if you please send it I +want to buy a good little shot gun please send it."</p> + +<p>These facts present the double responsibility which the A.M.A. sustains +to its constituency in this vast and complex missionary work. None of +these facts are exceptional in character. The Association must so present +its work to the churches as to "constrain" them to give; drag them by the +chains of Christian duty to give; those who can of their abundance +abundantly; those who must of their penury, with this tremendous +self-sacrifice.</p> + +<p>An old colored preacher in Georgia, in my hearing, preached on +"Pasteboard Christians." He said: "Brethren, did you neber see a +pasteboard box? It's mighty nice; maybe all covered with gilt paper; +looks right stiff and stout, but you just set it out in the rain and see +it when it goes 'pooh,' and am all omnatiously busted. It am jest so with +some Christians. They comes to meetin' with good clothes on; they looks +drefful fine! But you just pass the contribution box 'round, da goes +'pooh!' and dar ain't nothin' left of 'em." It has not been my experience +that there are many pasteboard Christians in the district of New England. +Systematic giving, giving constantly, giving because the safety of our +country requires it, and the kingdom of Christ demands it; this is the +sort of giving which I have found to be the rule.</p> + +<p>But there must be systematic spending as truly as systematic giving. The +gifts of the churches must be husbanded, and the churches must be warned +from time to time against wasteful and unwise efforts, by which others +are seeking to do the work, which is being done systematically through +your agent, the American Missionary Association.</p> + +<p>My personal experience as Field Superintendent, has pressed upon me the +imperative importance of this side of the responsibility which this +<a name="page10" id="page10"></a><span class="pagenum">[10]</span>Association holds to the churches. One must pass back and forth often, +and become personally familiar with this great field, before he can +understand the importance of the systematic spending of this Association. +Wrecks of schools and churches are not few in the Southland. Godly men +and women and godless adventurers have experimented in many places. Money +has been and is being wasted, that might be used to great and permanent +advantage if contributed through the A.M.A. and disbursed according to +the principles which long experience has proved to be sound.</p> + +<p>It is the purpose of this paper to emphasize some of the facts concerning +this great missionary field, and to point out the advantages of +systematic spending, which you secure when you commit your funds to this +society rather than to the hap-hazard efforts which you have no power to +supervise and no control over.</p> + +<p>An organized society controlled and directed by those who contribute is +the surest possible way of securing this systematic spending. This method +has both negative and positive advantages:</p> + +<p>I. It prevents waste.</p> + +<p>(a.) Waste in administration of funds. Its accounts are open to and +audited by those whose money is being spent. Reports of the financial +standing, receipts and expenditures to the half-penny are presented every +year. Look them over and note how minutely your accounts are kept. +Officers and missionaries are held by you to strictest responsibility. +This is sound business sense applied to missionary work. But one +naturally asks why, when such absolute safeguards are thrown around the +administration of the funds committed to the A.M.A., some of those who +established those safeguards give a considerable portion of their money +to individuals over whose expenditure they have absolutely no control, +and where funds may be, and often are, wasted? And in this way the +percentage of the cost of administering the funds committed to the A.M.A. +is also increased. This can scarcely be called sound business wisdom.</p> + +<p>(b.) Waste in field work. It requires wide experience and knowledge of +the whole field in order to adjust and direct, without waste of laborers, +the force of missionaries. Those who know only one locality cannot do +this. It is often remarked that each missionary thinks his particular +field the most important, and the one especially needing help and +enlargement. This is a grand tribute to their faithfulness and Christian +enthusiasm. But the systematic investigation of the whole field, +constantly and patiently carried on as it is by the A.M.A., determines +with larger wisdom whether work should be strengthened and developed in +Tennessee, or Georgia, or Texas. Gen. Grant was familiar with the whole +field, and placed his men according to the varying exigencies of the +campaign. Just so the systematic methods of this Association place these +noble missionaries where there will be least waste of labor.</p> + +<p><a name="page11" id="page11"></a><span class="pagenum">[11]</span>But there are also positive advantages secured by the systematic methods +of the A.M.A. in expending the money committed to its treasury.</p> + +<p>II. It secures proportion in different parts of the work.</p> + +<p>(a.) In appeal.—This Association, constituted, as it is, the immediate +agent of the churches, ought to be your watchman on the tower.</p> + +<p>Every pastor is crowded with parish duties. Few intelligent laymen can +give time enough to study thoroughly the whole field covered by the +missions of the A.M.A. It is now an enormous field. Representatives of +five distinct races, Japanese, Chinese, Indians, Mountain Whites and +Negroes wait for Christian instruction very largely upon the missionaries +you are sending out.</p> + +<p>Now, no one who is not compelled by official duties to do it can find +time, nor has he the information at hand, to investigate thoroughly each +department of this missionary work. The A.M.A. is your agent to discover, +through careful and patient investigation, the exact facts, and so to +direct its appeals to the churches that the department of work which is +especially pressing may be given due prominence. Systematic spending +involves this.</p> + +<p>(b.) Greatest care is required and exercised in planting new work. Let us +in fancy plant a new school in the South, as the Association does it. +Exhaustive correspondence is of course, the first step. Then the Field +Superintendent visits the field. He gathers every possible fact bearing +upon the question: The population; schools, if any; the opinions of white +and colored citizens; the religious complexion of the community, etc., +etc., etc. Now this Field Superintendent has studied maps and statistics +and school reports, and been back and forth until the whole field is in +his mind, not simply this one locality. These facts <i>in extenso</i> are +reported to the officers in New York. Conferences many and patient are +held over them until finally it is settled that this place rather than +some other shall be selected for the new school. Now such care as this +would be impossible except as the A.M.A., through its officers and +teachers, knew the whole field. By independent or individual effort this +could not be done. It is not the absolute, but the comparative need and +hopefulness that determine the wisdom of fixing upon a certain place for +a school or church. This comparative need can only be known by an +organized society which has frequent and abundant communication with the +whole field, and has officers whose business it is to know that field. +The experiments being tried in different places have already been made by +the A.M.A., and proved to be either absolutely failures or relatively an +uneconomic use of funds.</p> + +<p>The saving to you who furnish the money is very great by this method of +systematic spending. Let me illustrate by a single example which occurred +only a few months ago. Two towns, only a few miles apart, were clamoring +for help in school work. We opened a school tentatively in one of these +places, as we had one missionary there already, and I visited the other +place. This is what I found: A teacher independent of any society, <a name="page12" id="page12"></a><span class="pagenum">[12]</span>and +consequently knowing only a small part of the South, had opened a school. +She had labored very faithfully, but very unwisely, putting money and +years of hard work into a field which, from its very conditions, could +not be largely successful. She had a poor building for teachers' home, a +rough school-house with no desks, a narrow strip of land, and an +enrollment of about eighty pupils. She was anxious to have the A.M.A. +take the work. She informed me that in order to secure it, it would be +necessary to pay out from $2,500 to $3,000 in paying debts and putting +the buildings in shape for advantageous use. This was the case then: A +fairly good house, a rough school-house, a bit of land, and a school of +less than one hundred pupils, costing at least $2,500. At the other point +under discussion, there were five acres of land, five buildings, an +enrollment of about 250 pupils, and the whole property could be secured +for $600! $2,500 vs. $600.</p> + +<p>These are not very exceptional cases. It is only fair to the generous +constituency of this Association to know that their funds are being thus +guarded, and that those who give through independent agencies may have +their funds squandered because they cannot hold those doing this +independent work to strict account as they do the Association, nor can +these independent missionaries know the whole field as the A.M.A. knows +it. Here are nearly 500 missionaries in constant correspondence with this +office, besides the field officers appointed especially to gather +information.</p> + +<p>(c.) Again, this systematic method of disbursing funds secures a +methodical arrangement of field work. Take the mountain field as an +illustration of this. This field has been divided into two general +districts; one having for its base the L.N.R.R., the other lying along +the Cincinnati Southern Railroad. Each department has its general +missionary, who goes back and forth in his district to lay out new work, +and to superintend the old. The missionaries, pastors and teachers are +all busy in their own places. Here then is systematic development of +this whole work. These noble missionaries in this way form a +well-organized army, and are not guerrillas fighting behind trees and +stones, and scattered hap-hazard over the mountains. We shall hold these +lines of railroad in the name of the Lord. Churches and missions and +Sunday-schools will supplant the saloons and gambling hells if you as +churches generously support this painfully urgent work. But when +school-houses shall stand in all their fertile coves and church bells +shall call to intelligent Christian worship on all those mountain sides, +and the people shall be lifted up into spiritual citizenship, it will +simply be the victory under God of the systematic planning and execution +possible only when funds are disbursed on the sound principles of this +Association.</p> + +<p>III. This systematic spending of benevolent funds also secures +permanency. How few deaths there are in the family of A.M.A. schools and +churches! Why? Because these missions are born through wisdom and sound +judgment. These schools and churches are not only permanent <a name="page13" id="page13"></a><span class="pagenum">[13]</span>but they will +also perpetuate the great fundamental principles of the churches whose +prayers and money have gone into their establishment.</p> + +<p>These missions cannot become Roman Catholic or infidel. They cannot drift +away from the safe moorings of evangelical truth, unless the churches to +which they are tied up give way. The churches control these missions +forever. Local management in this work often means mismanagement, on +account of the peculiar surroundings in which these schools are placed. +They differ radically from schools and colleges planted among the new +settlers in the West. Here in the South there is no considerable +intelligent Christian constituency to direct their work, manage their +affairs and keep them in close connection with Congregational conferences +and councils.</p> + +<p>IV. Lastly. By means of this systematic spending you keep step with the +grand onward movement of God's providence in the marvelous openings of +this great missionary field. How wonderfully this work develops! The +primary schools of the early period have grown into normal and +preparatory institutes and colleges and theological seminaries, although +the primary work is still being done and well done! New schools are being +planted. "Enter the mountains with your mission host," came the command, +and it was done. Industrial training became necessary to the best +furnishing of these young people for their life-work and their largest +intellectual development, and now thorough training in these departments +is furnished by the schools of the American Missionary Association. The +grand work has kept step with the developing needs.</p> + +<p>I asked one of the most experienced teachers and missionaries in the +South what feature of the A.M.A. especially impressed him. He replied at +once, "The wonderful and consummate statesmanship displayed in its +management. The wisdom manifested in planting schools and churches, and +in keeping pace with the new and constantly changing conditions of this +great and perplexing field, absolutely astounds me." This is no tribute +to those of us who have recently entered this service.</p> + +<p>To sum up this argument, then: By the systematic method of spending +through the A.M.A., you avoid—</p> + +<p>I. Waste, (1.) In administration. (2.) In field work.</p> + +<p>II. You secure the wisest apportionment of the work, (1.) Appeals are +systematic. (2.) The work is developed proportionately. (3.) And each +department is systematically conducted.</p> + +<p>III. You can secure permanency in the work, (b.) And perpetuate the +principles you believe to be of fundamental importance in uplifting these +races.</p> + +<p>IV. You keep step with God's providence in the development of these +fields.</p> + +<p>It is told us that during the days that immediately preceded the capture +of Richmond, Sheridan was in hot pursuit of Lee's retreating troops. He +telegraphed to Grant, "I think if the thing is pushed Lee will surrender." +<a name="page14" id="page14"></a><span class="pagenum">[14]</span>There came flashing back this laconic message from that silent soldier, +"Push things." They were pushed, and within a few weeks Lee's army was +annihilated, and the sword of the haughty rebel was in the hands of the +loyal Grant. The Union army had pushed through the broken fortifications +around Richmond and planted the grand old stars and stripes, +battle-stained and bullet-torn, above the dome of the rebel capitol, +never, never, never to be pulled down again by disloyal hands.</p> + +<p>My brethren, there comes flashing to us to-day from this army of +Christ-like men and women away out yonder in front of us, from out the +heat of battle against ignorance, and prejudice, and misery, and sin, +these stirring words: "We can take these lowlands and mountains and +prairies and ocean coasts for our Lord, and for his Christ, now if the +thing be pushed."</p> + +<p>What message shall we send back to them, O people of God?</p> + +<p>Shall it not be this?

POND.</h4> + +<p>Our limited space forbids the publication of extended correspondence; and +yet, often, in the familiar and unstudied letters which I receive from +our workers, there are paragraphs or sentences which I greatly desire +that our Eastern friends and helpers might share with me. The following +are a few of these.</p> + +<p>Mrs. Carrington, our very faithful and efficient teacher at Sacramento, +writes as follows: "Our school seems in better condition than for many +months. Chin Toy [missionary helper] is true and watchful. Two joined the +church at the last communion, one has given his name to join the +Association, and others seem almost ready."</p> + +<p>Our school at Oroville has been for a year past in the hands of two quite +young, but true hearted and enthusiastic teachers, from one of whom I +hear in this way: "We have had a very good school this month. The +attendance has been very good; the scholars seem to feel better, and I +think the teachers do too. We had quite a re-union one evening last +month. There was one brother who had just returned from China, and +another from away out in the country. The former had not been here for +years, nor the latter for more than twelve months. It would have done any +one good to see how glad they were to meet each other. I never saw so +much hand-shaking, and talking, and laughing. Both these are good +scholars and will help us much. We have the Bible lessons twice a week, +and they are very interesting to us <a name="page15" id="page15"></a><span class="pagenum">[15]</span>both. We have nearly finished the +Gospel of Mark, and it gets more interesting towards the last."</p> + +<p>Other extracts shall be from letters of our Chinese brethren. Here is one +who has evidently gotten over into an American way of thinking. He is so +much in earnest that his English is badly wrenched in the effort to +convey his views, but I give his words very nearly as he wrote them. +"What I think and what often I observed is that the Chinese very meanness +and sordidness, just exactly what were the Jews. Scatter all round the +world, and still they feel very proud of their country, despise the +foreigners, close all their sea-ports, would not allow the poor celestial +to go out or have civilized men to enter the happy country. On account of +their ignorance of Christ, unhappy, miserable, wretched. Some of them +think good deal of their improvement, national, naval, but if the +Government will not adopt the Christianity and put behind their ancestor +and evil ways and the wicked custom, they will not be very flourishing +what they look for." For himself he says, "I hope I will have a good +opportunity while I am working for the Lord and looking for some souls to +bring to the Lord, as His will be done."</p> + +<p>Another writes: "I speak in Chinatown yesterday. Then we had very good +singers of American Christian young men (they were five) and Chinese +brethren (they were eight.). All go on to sing with me. Then I have a +good chance. I pray God to help and hope our countrymen immediately come +to repent and follow Christ and worship Him." And again, "I thank God for +His blessing. This school now is increasing. Last evening we had +twenty-three scholars. Six new ones came in this month. I like stay here +two or three months more and talk this gospel of Christ."</p> + +<p>Another translated for me a letter just received from his father-in-law +in China—a letter which gives him great joy. "Dear Son-in-law:—Your +letter was reached me some ten days ago, and glad to read it and that you +are all right in California, <i>doing Jesus work</i>. But there was a fellow +named —— —— who had come back from San Francisco last year. This +fellow came to me with some news to tell me, so he said. So I asked him +to sit down and gave him a cup of tea. Then he commenced his false story +about you <i>being poisoned by the Jesus doctors</i>, and that your heart had +been poisoned so that you don't want to come back any more. After the +length of his false talks, I commenced to ask him questions which he +cannot answer. I told him that I had known my son-in-law too much about +his faith in Jesus. People with the same report came to me from time to +time, before you [i.e., the son-in-law addressed in the letter,—W.C.P.] +came back the last time. At first I have faith in their talks, but since +you came home, I have found you all right. Now a mission is near my +house, and I have time to talk and to read the Jesus books, and have +found that Jesus is like our Confucius, and I believed Jesus words all +right and so my son-in-law all-right too.

"Sunday morning, accompanied by about ten +American friends, I went to Chinatown to hold a preaching service. After +singing several times and offering prayer, I took the stand and preached +to a large crowd of my countrymen, of both sexes and all ages, drawn by +our loud invitation and our songs. Before I began my sermon I told them +what we had been singing about, also what we prayed for, and to whom we +prayed, and asked them to see the difference between these Christian +Americans who sang and prayed for us, and those who would crowd us out +Then I preached on Gal. 6:7, for nearly an hour, and all listened +attentively. Not one of the hearers said anything against us. I was told +that two years ago a Chinaman had tried to preach there, but the people +drowned his voice by beating their tin cans, and drove him off with +various missiles. When I heard this I said, 'I am not afraid, God will go +with us; with his help I will preach Christ to them.' And he did help, +and oh, may he bless the seed sown!

Woodbury, of Portland, Me. The report of the +Secretary, Miss D.E. Emerson, of New York, was presented, and then +missionary addresses were delivered by Mrs. A.A. Myers on "Mountain +Work;" by Mrs. Geo. W. Moore on the "Colored People;" and by Miss Collins +on "Indians," all of which were listened to with deep interest.</p> + +<p>Mrs. Woodbury, on taking the chair, said:</p> + +<p>The object of this meeting is well understood. It is to decide what the +women of the Congregational Churches shall do in connection with woman's +work—that part of the Association's work which is designed to be among +women. It is woman's work among women. It is designed at this time to +hear from those fields in which the speakers are especially interested. +We shall hear from the Mountain Work, from the Negroes in the South, and +from the work among the Indians in the West. Like a very close man who, +to the surprise of those who approached him, gave money enough to +purchase a town clock, who explained by saying he liked to hear his money +tick, so it is meant here this afternoon that the women shall hear the +tick of their work from all these fields to which I have referred, and +may the sound of it reverberate all down through the ages.</p> + +<hr style='width: 45%;' /> + +<p>A special meeting for ladies was held on Thursday morning, at which there +was a full attendance. Brief remarks, interspersed with song and prayer, +made the occasion an enjoyable one. Miss Plimpton, of McIntosh, Ga., gave +bits of her experience among the colored people, and Miss Haynes +described her work for the Indians at Santee Agency, Neb.</p> + +<hr style='width: 45%;' /> + +<p>The annual report made by the Secretary was given in full in our November +Magazine, and is also published in leaflet form for free distribution to +those desiring it.</p> + +<p>We give below extracts from the addresses of the missionaries.</p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a name="MOUNTAIN_WHITE_WORK" id="MOUNTAIN_WHITE_WORK"></a>MOUNTAIN WHITE WORK.</h2> + +<h4>BY MRS. A.A. MYERS.</h4> + +<p>In my younger days I never remember looking at the forests that skirt the +horizon without an indefinable questioning as to what lay beyond. It was +easy to picture stretches of landscape and quiet homes like our own, but +the query was ever the same, what is <i>still beyond</i>?</p> + +<p><a name="page18" id="page18"></a><span class="pagenum">[18]</span>The first Sabbath I attended church in the mountains of Kentucky, having +listened to the quaint singing before entering the rough-board building, +seating myself on one of the slab benches near a box stove, which had but +one length of pipe, out of which the smoke was pouring towards an opening +in the roof, glancing around on the women in their sun bonnets, the +babies in their little calico caps and the men in homespun, then out of +the open door into a ravine where the tops of the tall trees were beneath +us, I said to myself, I've reached "<i>that beyond</i>." The undefined has +taken shape and I have reached the place of which I could never formulate +a picture. Seven years' acquaintance in this mountain country has not +changed my opinion. We are in another world, and if I could describe that +world so you could see it as it is, could feel its needs as we feel them +day by day, it is all I could ask.</p> + +<p>Philosophers might describe it as the dead centre of motion; at least it +has remained seemingly unmoved, while all the world around it has been +moving forward.</p> + +<p>Here in these mountains live over two million people, two-thirds of whom +have never written nor received a letter, could not read one if printed +and sent them. They take no newspapers, and the great events of nations +or discoveries of science have been nothing to them. Questions of vital +importance to our country have never troubled them. They knew there was a +war, for contending armies met on their grounds. With few exceptions +their sympathies were with the Union. Too poor to own slaves to any +extent, they had no motive for seceding, and many of them joined our army +and were faithful soldiers.</p> + +<p>At the close of the war, they went back to their secluded homes, and +between them and the world the curtain fell again. We very well know that +mortals cannot rise above their surroundings only within defined limits. +Alas! for the defeated manhood and blasted womanhood in our land, held +down to earth by unfortunate surroundings. They are looking to you for +help. You have done nobly in sustaining a work in their midst. Besides +what you have done at Pleasant Hill, Grand View and other points, you +have enabled us to organize eight churches and build one academy and +eight houses of worship. You have sent among us most efficient teachers. +Besides their school duties they have taken upon themselves to visit the +homes, to pray with the sick, to distribute clothing among the needy, to +go to the homes of the students, to share their humble fare and sleep in +their crowded rooms. They have spared neither time nor strength to carry +the uplifting word to those needy souls. From the better classes we have +been fortunate enough to draw a nucleus for each of our churches. We have +some Sunday-school superintendents that for zeal and tact are models in +their work and many a Northern school might rejoice in the possession of +such officers. They are not so well versed in Scripture as we could wish, +but they spare neither time nor expense to prepare themselves for their +work.</p> + +<p>This class of people responds quickly to the new life that comes to them +<a name="page19" id="page19"></a><span class="pagenum">[19]</span>by the school, the railroad or the business man. If we could find as +ready response in the masses as we find in the individuals, our work in +the mountains would be quickly done. But, alas! what of these hundreds of +thousands who seemingly have no more aspiration than the brute in their +field? They are wedded to the customs of their ancestors, and they rebel +at any innovation. Give them tobacco, and whiskey, and pistols, a little +meal and bacon and coffee, a crude bed and a roof, and that, to them, is +living. Oh, those purposeless lives! They exist simply because they are +in the world and cannot help it. With the girls especially, marriage is +the chief aim, and what should be the holy relation is entered upon +almost in childhood. As soon as they begin to lisp they are talking of +their lovers. A little wee girl came to a teacher's home, and after +answering in monosyllables the common questions as to schools and +Sunday-schools, there was a lull in the conversation, when she spoke up: +"I hain't got no sweetheart." For all marriage is the chief aim, it is +surprising how little preparation they make for it. No bridal trousseau +is ever thought of; not even a new dress is made for the occasion. I have +seen many a bride in calf-skin shoes, old calico dress, long apron, with +no cuffs nor collar, and her hair falling from her comb, while the groom +appeared with uncombed hair, stogy shoes, jean pants and in shirt +sleeves.</p> + +<p>We have no rollicking girls or boisterous boys; we never see a crowing, +cooing baby. The children are born old. The babies have a sad and +dejected look, as if this world were a "dreary wilderness of woe," and +they grieve they were ever born. Poor little ones in the Southland! how +many are gathered home ere a twelve months' stay on earth. Besides this +weary, aged look of the children, we frequently find those who look like +walking corpses. A little inquiry reveals the fact that they are clay +eaters. We have them in our schools. In our Jellico school, we have +children whose elder sisters had to sprinkle pepper around the +hearthstones to keep them from digging out the clay and eating it. The +habit once formed, it seems to last them during life; where it ever +originated I don't know, but have no doubt it was from lack of proper +nourishment.</p> + +<p>Our women! how shall I describe them? I wish I might picture them before +you as they ride into town with their babies in their arms and a child or +two on their horses with them, or as they walk in with heavy, dragging +gait, loaded with some produce for sale, or as they stand for hours +open-eyed and open-mouthed around the counters of some country store. I +wish you could see them in their cabin homes, as bare of comfort as a wild +desert waste, or at work in the field with the family, but always and +everywhere with a chew of tobacco or a snuff stick in their mouths. They +never express a desire for what they have not, nor a murmur at what they +have, but their very movements are a complaint—a wail. On their face is +ever seen that weary, resigned, passionless look. They never lighten with +joy or surprise. If you could manage to fire a Vesuvius before their eyes +you would <a name="page20" id="page20"></a><span class="pagenum">[20]</span>never know by any outward expression but that they had seen +volcanoes every day of their lives. There is no imagery, no ideality. The +world to them is a humdrum routine, a common-place affair. They have no +heroes, and they look upon all men, not as protectors, but seducers, not +as beings formed in the image of a pure and holy God, but in the image of +a God of lust and debauchery.</p> + +<p>When first going among these people, the ludicrous or comical keeps +presenting itself, but as you stay year by year the terrible <i>reality</i> of +their lives presses sore upon you. You are cramped by their narrowness; +you are depressed by their lack of buoyancy; you grow distrustful because +of their perfidy; you become sharer of their woes, but they have no joys +to share.</p> + +<p>Our work among them was begun none too soon. The eye of the speculator is +being turned to our mineral and timber resources, and with unscrupulous +money-makers for a centre and a demoralized people to gather round them, +and no Christ in their midst, what strongholds of Satan would be formed. +When we commenced our work seven years ago the field was open to the +Congregationalists. If we could have had means to have secured helpers we +could have planted ourselves largely, for we had continuous calls to come +and organize churches. The people of better minds are sick and tired of +the church life around them; they cannot indorse it and so are called +infidels. But we have found no infidels there; still it takes no prophet +to see that the reaction from this demoralized church life all through +the mountains is going to create a great wave of infidelity unless real +Christians come to the rescue very soon.</p> + +<p>How these things nerve us to increased efforts to save the children and +youth from these ways of death. Our hope for the land is in saving them, +and our work is largely for them. We have many Sunday-schools connected +with our churches and many others where we furnish some helps and where +our students teach. Our Bands of Hope are encouraging. Our Christian +Endeavor Society has a large membership, and is a power for good. But +while we rejoice over these places that have these helps we think of the +hundreds of counties along this mountain range that have no such helps. +Senator Plumb has stated that the assessment in Alabama for pistols, guns +and dirks is four times that on farming implements, and Kentucky's record +of crime is far worse than Alabama's. Who of us can say that he is +innocent of this shed blood, unless he is doing something toward sending +the only cure—a Christian civilization? Because the work has many +discouragements, are we excused? Because the people are prejudiced +against us and our principles, shall we withdraw, and let them sink lower +and lower?</p> + +<p>But the question is asked: "Have you no public schools or churches in +this large section of the country?" Yes, schools for a few months in the +year, taught in little log school houses, some with floors and some with +none; some with a tiny window and some without; some have doors and some +<a name="page21" id="page21"></a><span class="pagenum">[21]</span>haven't. Very few have desks; in most there are but slab benches. But +worse than the school house and its surroundings is the illiterate, +immoral teacher who attempts to teach the children. As for church +organizations they are numerous, and a large majority are church members; +but alas for the Christianity taught and practiced. Religion and morality +are divorced. With most of them, religion is the thing of a moment and +not of a life. Meetings once a month during the summer, and that is all +the Christian institution the people have, and we call it <i>instruction</i>. +We are inclined to smile at the thought of a preacher prefacing his +sermon with the boast that he has no learning; that his "jeens" coat has +never brushed the chalk off college walls, and what he has to say is "no +fixup" of his own, but direct from "<i>sac</i>-rid writ" or an "inspiration of +the Speret." But our smiles end with a sigh when we see that there is not +only <i>ignorance</i>, but "the poison of asps is under their lips." Their +hatred for all other churches than their own is intense. They have no +charity for any religion outside of their own church. The excitement and +strife for membership is unequalled even in the craze of their political +wars. They are bigoted and intolerant, they have no idea of practical +Christianity. They have no prayer-meeting, no family prayers, no +Sunday-schools. One minister living near where we have recently planted +some Sunday-schools gave a whole sermon to talking against them, and said +if any one would show him from the Bible where Sunday-schools were taught +he'd believe they were right; but a few weeks later, pressed by seeing +our schools drawing so largely from the community, he thought something +must be done, so with a few of his leading members they announced the +organization of a school near ours. They sent to Jellico on Saturday and +bought two gallons of whiskey in order to draw the crowd. Of course, such +a school lasted but a few days, but their hatred doesn't die so easily. +We could help many churches if it were not for this jealousy among their +ministers. The people are our friends, and our growing churches are a +stimulant to them. Paul said: "What matter if Christ were preached +through envy, only so he were preached," and if we can provoke them to +good works, will not the children be blessed? Whatever cause prompts them +to church building, to prayer or outward Christian living, they must be +bettered by it.</p> + +<p>And so, slowly, but steadily, this great mass is going to be leavened. It +may not come in your day or mine, but come it will, and happy will we be +in that far-off time to know that we had something to do in bringing +about such needed results. We are confident of success. Right must win +"since God is God," and the day is coming when the great "I Am" will +dwell in all these churches. Then the bigot will say, "my brother;" the +intolerant will grasp hands in loyal fellowship, and Christian hearts +will pulsate in one common rhythm. Then will our mountains and hills +break forth into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their +hands.</p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<a name="page22" id="page22"></a><span class="pagenum">[22]</span> +<h2><a name="NEEDS_OF_THE_COLORED_WOMEN_AND_GIRLS" id="NEEDS_OF_THE_COLORED_WOMEN_AND_GIRLS"></a>NEEDS OF THE COLORED WOMEN AND GIRLS.</h2> + +<h4>BY MRS. G.W. MOORE.</h4> + +<p>I have been asked to speak to you on the needs of four millions of women +and girls. The time allotted for this paper is far too limited for me to +give more than a glimpse of their real condition.</p> + +<p>In considering the needs of the colored women and girls of the South, you +must bear in mind their past condition, present status and future +prospects, together with the forces that have contributed to each, before +you can know and feel the heart yearnings and struggles of my sisters.</p> + +<p>No human lips can tell the story of that dark night that has left its +impress upon the habits, customs and life of a whole race of people. The +crudest results of that iniquitous system fell heaviest upon the colored +woman. From childhood, no matter how favorably situated, she was liable +to become the doomed victim of the grossest outrages. There was no +assurance that she would not be a constant associate in the field with +the coarsest and most ignorant men of both races, or at any moment, at +the caprice of the master, be sold. Swayed, body, mind and spirit, by a +master class who found it necessary to close every avenue of intelligence +in order to accomplish his fiendish purposes, this creature, made in the +image of God, was often taught that there was no God of justice for her. +Her body, instead of being a fit temple for the indwelling of the Holy +Spirit, was subject to the foulest demands of sensuality. No wonder they +sang,</p> + +<div class="poem"><div class="stanza"> +<span class="i1">"Nobody knows the trouble I see, Lord,<br /></span> +<span class="i1">Nobody knows but Jesus."<br /></span> +</div></div> + +<p>These slave songs, born of agony, might well be called "The Passion +Flowers" of the slave cabin. Thank God that all of my sisters were not +thus brutalized, and even to those who were, God was merciful. Deep down +underneath the lacerated and bruised heart, rested the "Shekinah of the +Lord," preventing the wholesale transmission of vice. Two hundred and +fifty years of such tuition gave her but little chance to develop her +womanhood.</p> + +<p>Intuitively she knew that there was a living God, and she sought Him in +visions, and listened for His voice, and looked forward and persevered +for that home not made with hands, and from her heart were wrung these +words:</p> + +<div class="poem"><div class="stanza"> +<span class="i1">"O Lord, O my Lord, O my good Lord,<br /></span> +<span class="i1">Keep me from sinking down."<br /></span> +</div></div> +<p>And then comforted, she cried out triumphantly—</p> + +<div class="poem"><div class="stanza"> +<span class="i1">"Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel,<br /></span> +<span class="i1">Then why not every man?"<br /></span> +</div></div> + +<p>Many have told me their struggles, and I know of others who even suffered +death rather than submit to the outrage of chastity. One poor mother with +three beautiful baby girls, driven to despair by realizing their probable +<a name="page23" id="page23"></a><span class="pagenum">[23]</span>doom if allowed to live, sent them back to the God who gave them and then +took her own life.</p> + +<p>Thus the colored women and girls lived before the war.</p> + +<p>How have they fared since Freedom?</p> + +<p>Have they had a fair chance in the race of life? No. They have met +caste-prejudice, the ghost of slavery, at every step of their journey +during these years of freedom. They have been made to feel that they are a +separate species of the human family. The phrases "Your people" and "Your +place," do not so much designate their race identity, as the fixed status +in the sisterhood of races. This idea, as harmless as it may appear, or +as much as it is used, with varied phrases of meaning, according to the +attitude of the speaker, has been one of the greatest barriers to the +progress of the Negro, especially of the women and girls. It has colored +everything they have to do. Their place, like the ebony of their skin, is +a dark place. In the home, and in social life, "their place" is confined +to colored society, colored schools and colored churches. Be it +understood, I am not reflecting upon colored society, but am pointing out +the limitations that no other race in this country has to contend with, +in its efforts to rise.</p> + +<p>The higher the plane of culture the colored women and girls reach, the +more sensitive they become, and the more keenly the effects of ostracism +are felt. In wages it does not matter how capable she may be, she must +not aspire. I have asked several persons, "What is the greatest need of +the colored woman and girl?" and many have replied, "To be good +servants." Assuming that this is her highest need, can good servants be +had without good wages?</p> + +<p>In education, her place is the colored school, if there is one far or +near, and if there is no school for colored youth, (as is sometimes the +case) the no-school is her place. In religious life, her place is the +colored church. No matter how her soul may long for a more intelligent +Gospel than perchance surrounds her, she must find it there.</p> + +<p>Her place in the work of reform, if she has fallen or desires to reform, +is the public street. I could relate many incidents which have come under +my personal observation in Washington, (and Washington is far ahead of +many places in the South) to illustrate how our fallen sisters have +suffered worse than death, because doors have been shut against them. +Several cases have been brought to me this year, one since writing this +paper, but my sisters, the sad fact is like the advent of our blessed +Lord, there is no room in the inn for her.</p> + +<p>What is the true place of our women and girls? It is that place which is +not circumscribed by the mere accident of birth and race, where she can +rise just as high as she has the ability to reach and sustain. My five +years' experience in Europe as a Jubilee Singer gave me a taste of the +sweets of true womanhood, unfettered by caste-prejudice and by a low +estimate of my position. There my complexion was not a target for insult +and ostracism. <a name="page24" id="page24"></a><span class="pagenum">[24]</span>Our needs are not only those common to other races, but +are in a vast measure greater, because of the past and present +difficulties. The masses furnish the most difficult problem to solve. How +can we rescue them from poverty and illiteracy, and not pauperize them? +How can we prevent crime, check immorality and decrease mortality? The +answer lies in giving to them better home life, more elevating social +surroundings, better educational advantages in school and industries, and +a higher type of Christian life and worship.</p> + +<p>My first introduction into an intelligent idea of practical Christianity +was at Fisk University. There, and at many similar institutions under the +A.M.A., may be found the epitome of a Christian home. Such schools +furnish potent object lessons; such are the factors of the problem in +answer to the question of how to meet the needs of the colored women and +girls, who are to preside over the homes of eight millions of people, who +had no home twenty-three years ago. Washington, alone, has a population +of eighty thousand colored people, and more than forty thousand of these +are women and girls.</p> + +<p>It is said that the "hand that rocks the cradle, rules the world." It +matters not whether that hand be black or white, but it does matter +whether that hand be intelligent or ignorant. They not only need the +education of the schools to develop their minds, and industrial training +to prepare their hands for the practical duties of life, but Christian +education, such as is given in the schools of the Association.</p> + +<p>More than three thousand women and thousands of men have gone out under +the A.M.A., in school, home and church, for the uplifting, Christianizing +and elevating of our people.</p> + +<p>Eternity alone will reveal the work that these Christian heroines and +heroes have done in the Master's name. The eleventh chapter of Hebrews +would need be extended to give to them their rightful place in the role +of achievements of faith. We need not wait for eternity, we now see some +of the grand results; their memory is already engraven upon the hearts, +and their spirit infused into the life of thousands of educated colored +young men and women, who have gone out among their people, carrying +educated minds, trained hands and warm hearts, as an outgrowth of that +labor which has not been in vain. This magnificent record of Christian +endeavor and conquest has largely been made possible by the foresight, +energy and fidelity of the many who have been and are at the head of the +different departments of the A.M.A.</p> + +<p>How can the Association more fully meet these needs? By continuing +woman's work for woman, through their Woman's Bureau. Through this +agency, ladies of the churches can furnish volunteers for the work and +the base of supply. While we at the front are in the heat of the battle, +you at home, through your missionary societies, young people's meetings, +and Sunday-schools, can aid us with your prayers, your sympathy, your +gifts and <a name="page25" id="page25"></a><span class="pagenum">[25]</span>service. Those in the larger churches can sustain a missionary +in the field, and may it be said of all, both large and small, "They have +done what they could." Then we can sing,</p> + +<div class="poem"><div class="stanza"> +<span class="i0">"March on, and you shall gain the victory,<br /></span> +<span class="i0">March on, and you shall gain the day."<br /></span> +</div></div> + +<p>My sisters, we must first be touched by the Spirit of the Master, and +through him touch them. This work cannot be done perfunctorily or +professionally.</p> + +<p>And now in conclusion allow me to thank you in behalf of the millions +whom I represent, for the faithful work and practical sympathy already +given, and appeal to you in his name, and through you to the thousands +whom you represent, for a continuation of your Christian efforts and +support, also for greater supplies and larger gifts to the treasury of +the A.M.A., that it may be able to furnish the laborers according to the +demands of the growing needs of more than four millions of colored women +and girls, who are trying to help themselves. Our lamented President +Garfield said to the Jubilee Singers during their visit to Mentor: +"Ethiopia is not only stretching out her hand unto God, but God is +stretching out his hand unto Ethiopia." We believe this, and that the +time is coming when all races shall sing:</p> + +<div class="poem"><div class="stanza"> +<span class="i1">"O, brethren, rise and shine and give God the glory,<br /></span> +<span class="i1">For the year of Jubilee."<br /></span> +</div></div> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a name="RECEIPTS" id="RECEIPTS"></a>RECEIPTS FOR NOVEMBER, 1888.</h2> + +<div class='center'> +<table class="receipts" border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" summary=""> +<tr><td colspan="2" align="center"><b>MAINE, $186.96.</b></td></tr> +<tr><td align='left' width="80%">Augusta.

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. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/16083-h/images/img1.jpg b/16083-h/images/img1.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..19e65fc --- /dev/null +++ b/16083-h/images/img1.jpg |
