+
+
+OUR LIST OF GOOD SAMARITANS.
+
+This number of the MISSIONARY contains the annual list of our workers,
+who go down the Jericho road to care for those who have been wronged,
+the poor and ignorant, who need the Gospel. Our ministers and teachers
+are not like the priest and the Levite, who looked upon the poor man and
+then "passed by on the other side;" nor do they merely pity and utter
+words of sympathy. They take right hold and help. They "pour in the oil
+and the wine," and they build the _inns_--that is, the churches and
+schoolhouses where they instruct and help the needy ones till they can
+take care of themselves and help to take care of others--the most
+genuine kind of assistance.
+
+It must be remembered that this requires expenditure. The oil and the
+wine, the inn and the constant attendance, call for money. Our
+constituents, who furnish this, want the work done and well done, and
+they are willing to pay for it. But sometimes they need to be reminded
+of the cost. At our last Annual Meeting, the "two pence" which they had
+during the year put into our hands, counted in American money, amounted
+to $323,147.22; and they said: "Whatsoever thou spendest more, when I
+come again I will repay thee." We are very careful to watch the receipts
+and expenditures, and we find that for the three months since the Annual
+Meeting, we have received from all sources $66,958.43; whereas, the
+current expenditures for the three months require about $86,000. We give
+this timely notice that they who commit to us this work may remit to us
+what is needed.
+
+Let it be understood that the generous gift of that noble friend of the
+Negro race was not entrusted to us to do the work of the good Samaritans
+of the Churches. We are not permitted to use it for this. The yearly
+income of the Daniel Hand Fund is to do the work of Daniel Hand--no
+more. For this, God will reward him and generations will bless him, but
+he leaves the churches and individual Christians to carry on their own
+work as before and to reap the blessings of it. We cannot give the
+Daniel Hand Fund to the churches. We cannot expend it for the churches. It
+relieves no one of duty and privilege. It is limited also, to its use.
+The churches and the schools to which we are already committed call for
+a great increase in self-denial and benevolence.
+
+Pastors and members of the churches, the work is increasingly great. It
+enlarges itself. Other denominations are increasing their efforts to
+meet the pressing emergency. Let it not be said that our churches--the
+first in the field and the most efficient--are falling behind in the
+ranks. Let our banner be ever at the front. Let us do our work.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+
+AN EXPLICIT WARNING.
+
+One of our missionaries was recently at the North soliciting aid in
+sustaining his work. His appeal was repeatedly met by the response: "The
+Association is rich--it has just had a gift of more than a million of
+dollars." When he explained that only the interest can be used, and this
+for educational work only, the reply was: "This interest can be used in
+payment of appropriations already made for schools, thus releasing just
+so much for other purposes."
+
+Now this is exactly what _cannot_ be done. The Daniel Hand Fund is for
+_new_ work, and only in the industrial, primary and normal schools. It
+is a priceless boon in this department, for we can now make enlargements
+here which were greatly needed, but for which we had not the means; but
+no part of this Fund can be applied to meet appropriations for other
+portions of the work. If our constituents will not enable us to meet
+those other demands, we can only report a debt; the Daniel Hand Fund
+cannot help us. We are confident this needs only to be understood, for
+we cannot believe that the 457,584 members of our churches have any wish
+to shelter themselves behind Daniel Hand.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+
+PRIVILEGES OF LIFE MEMBERSHIP.
+
+The question is sometimes asked in letters we receive, What are the
+privileges of a Life Member in the A.M.A.? We answer:
+
+1. The privilege of voting at the Annual Meeting. Our amended
+constitution says: "Members of evangelical churches may be constituted
+members of this Association for life by the payment of $30 into its
+treasury, with the written declaration at the time or times of payment
+that the sum is to be applied to constitute a designated person a Life
+Member, and such membership shall begin sixty days after the payment
+shall have been completed."
+
+2. A Life Member is entitled to THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY and to the
+ANNUAL REPORT gratuitously, if desired.
+
+3. The highest privilege is that of being a _live_ member, doing all
+that he can to promote the interests of the Association and of the needy
+peoples for whom it labors.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+
+THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY.
+
+We have two objects in printing this magazine. First, to have it read,
+and, secondly, to have it paid for. The main purpose is the first, of
+course, for we wish to have it read if it is not paid for, yet we
+greatly prefer to have it both read and paid for. We believe that those
+who pay for it are most likely to read it, and for this reason we fear
+that this item will be seen only by those who do not need this reminder,
+but we draw the bow at a venture and tell our readers that the price of
+the magazine is 50 cents a year.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+We wish to inform the pastors and churches that we have just issued a
+new _Annual Leaflet_, brief and packed with facts, and suitable for
+distribution in the pews before collections are taken for the
+Association. We shall be glad to furnish a supply gratuitously whenever
+called for.
+
+Our Annual Report, also, is ready for distribution. Those who wish it
+will please send us a postal card requesting it.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+
+THE ROMAN CATHOLICS AND THE FREEDMEN.
+
+Soon after the war the Roman Catholics seemed to have made a strong
+effort to win the Freedmen to their faith, and many Protestants felt a
+good degree of apprehension that the splendors of the ceremonial and the
+absence of race distinction might captivate the Negro. But the effort
+was unsuccessful and appeared for a time to have been abandoned. It has
+often been said, however, that the Church of Rome never surrenders an
+undertaking; it may delay and wait for more auspicious times, but in the
+end it perseveres. There are some indications of the renewal of the zeal
+of the Papacy for the Negro. The article in another part of the
+magazine, entitled "The Colored Catholic Congress," is an evidence.
+
+One thing is certain. The Roman Catholic Church deserves praise for its
+disregard of the color-line. The rich and the poor, the white and the
+black, bow at the same altar, and one of the highest dignitaries of the
+church is not ashamed to stand side by side with the black man on a
+great public occasion. Protestants at the North and the South must not
+allow the Romanists to surpass them in this Christ-like position.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+We ask our friends to read Mr. Dodge's article about the school at
+Pleasant Hill, Tenn. One thousand dollars has already been pledged for
+this building, on condition that the remainder of the $5,000 be secured.
+We ask that this remainder be given by _individuals_, and not taken from
+Church or Sunday-school contributions--all of which are needed for
+current work.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+
+NOTES FROM NEW ENGLAND.
+
+I have swapped horses--exchanged a Georgia mule for a New England
+thoroughbred--and hereafter the "Notes in the Saddle" will be written
+from this dignified seat. And what a change it is from the South to New
+England!
+
+Take a map and look it over. Put down in each State the illiteracy, and
+make the comparison. In this good Commonwealth of Massachusetts only
+seven-tenths of one per cent. of the native born white population are
+illiterate, while in Georgia twenty-three per cent. of the native
+whites, and in North Carolina thirty-two per cent. of the native whites,
+are illiterate.
+
+The South is pre-eminently the great missionary ground for our
+Congregational Churches; for Congregationalism means the school-house as
+truly as the church--and here in New England there is most enthusiastic
+sympathy with, and support of, the American Missionary Association in
+its great work in that section of our country committed to its care by
+the churches.
+
+They want the A.M.A. to take Congregationalism into the South, and
+whether it organize churches mostly of whites or mostly of blacks, New
+England demands that a Christian of any color be admitted into any
+church because he is a Christian. The feeling is intense here and
+growing more so.
+
+Congregationalism could have planted its churches all over the South
+before the war, but it would not strike hands with slavery; so, to-day
+the children of the Pilgrims demand that the A.M.A., in its growing
+work, shall stand true to the historic principles of the fathers, and
+not compromise Christian truth for any seeming temporary advantage.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+There is great interest in the work among the American Highlanders which
+the A.M.A. is pushing with such vigor. I spoke in a church near Boston
+recently, and, after the service, a young man, his eyes bright, his face
+flushed, hurried down the aisle and exclaimed, "I am a Kentuckian!" I
+had been telling some plain and rather painful truths concerning the
+people of Kentucky--the murders committed there; their lack of school
+privileges, etc. I thought this friend might question some of my
+statements, but I was delighted when he said: "I thank God that some one
+is ready to call attention to the terrible needs of my own State. I
+can't get people to believe me when I tell them of those needs. I was
+brought up on the edge of the mountains and know them well, and I do not
+believe there is any spot on earth more needy than that region of my own
+State." He accentuated his words by a generous gift to the Mountain Work
+of our Association.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+A good friend of the A.M.A. in Gorham, Me., put into my hands the letter
+of Edward Payson, in which he accepted the call of the Second Parish
+Church of Portland, requesting that it be sold and the proceeds go to
+the A.M.A. work. It is a most interesting historical document, of value
+to some one collecting historical literature. It was a generous gift,
+for this kind woman valued it highly.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+The President, S.D. Smith, of the "Smith Organ Company," of Boston is
+filling our schools with music, gladness and praise. He has sent three
+organs to as many schools, within a few months, at no cost whatever to
+the Association, giving these grand instruments and paying freight on
+them to the field!
+
+ * * * * *
+
+One message that comes from the work in North Carolina is of so much
+interest that it ought to have a place here. A teacher had been visiting
+her former field of labor, and she writes of this visit as follows:
+
+"One young man, who was but a small lad when I left there, came to shake
+hands with me and said, 'Do you remember how you talked to me right out
+there under that tree? I tried at first to get away from you, but you
+would not let me go till I promised you I would give myself to the Lord.
+I thought, "Now I must not lie to that woman," and I did what I promised
+right there, and I have kept serving him ever since.'"
+
+Such evidences of souls renewed is worth a life of even such
+self-sacrifice as this brave woman lives. Like testimony could be gathered
+of many of these A.M.A. missionaries.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+
+DEATH OF PROF. A. HATCH.
+
+We are called with sadness to chronicle the death of another of our
+noble Christian workers at the South. Prof. Azel Hatch, the Principal of
+our Normal School in Lexington, Ky., closed his earthly labors and
+entered his heavenly rest on the 31st of December, 1888. His illness
+began with a severe cold, but it was soon discovered that congestion of
+the brain had set in, and the end rapidly came.
+
+Prof. Hatch was born January 16, 1852, was educated at Oberlin College
+and at the Union Theological Seminary in New York. He entered the
+service of this Association in 1876, and has occupied honorable
+positions in the schools at Montgomery, Ala., Tougaloo, Miss., and in
+Lexington, Ky. In every post of duty, Mr. Hatch has shown himself to be
+a faithful, conscientious and Christian worker, shrinking from no duty,
+winning the confidence of the teachers and pupils, and showing adequate
+results from his efficient labors. Mr. Hatch was reserved in manner, but
+courteous and affable, and a man of spotless integrity and of entire
+consecration to the work of the Master. It is a grief to record the
+death of such faithful men, but it is a consolation to know that their
+work was done and well done. The Christian life is not measured by its
+length, but by the discharge of the duties allotted by the Heavenly
+Father.

+
+CONVENTION OF COLORED ROMAN CATHOLICS.
+
+"A National Convention of Colored Roman Catholics, composed of delegates
+from nearly all the colored Roman Catholic churches and societies in the
+country, began its sessions on the morning of January 1st, in the St.
+Augustine Colored Catholic Church in Washington. Every seat was occupied
+when Father Tolton, of Quincy, Ill., the only colored Catholic priest in
+the United States, began the celebration of solemn High Mass.
+Immediately in front of and beneath the pulpit sat his Eminence,
+Cardinal Gibbons, who delivered the sermon. He was clad in scarlet
+robes. At the conclusion of the sermon, the Cardinal welcomed the
+delegates in his own name, and in the name of the clergy and of the
+congregation. He said:
+
+"'This gathering will mark an era in the history of the colored people
+of the United States, for never before have colored Catholics of the
+country met in convention.' He suggested that the convention discuss the
+education of the children--the religious education necessary to the life
+of the Republic. _The universal level of the Catholic Church--its
+equality--was eloquently dilated upon, and attention was directed to the
+fact that a colored priest had celebrated mass in company with two white
+clergymen._"
+
+We quote the above from the _People's Advocate_, a paper published in
+Washington, D.C., by colored editors and in the interests of the colored
+people. In comments upon the above report, it adds:
+
+"The presence of a Negro priest of pure lineage, born a slave, ordained
+at Rome, Augustus Tolton--the property of Stephen Elliot, as the record
+stands in the Vatican--the appearance of Cardinal Gibbons in his
+official robes to sanction the meeting, his eloquent reference to the
+universality of the Church of Rome that 'knows neither North, South,
+East or West; that knows neither Jew nor Gentile, Greek, Barbarian nor
+Scythian,' may mislead the unwary as to the real object of the movement.
+Its real purpose is to propagate the Roman Catholic faith among the
+colored people. So far as this meeting will secure from white
+Protestants a greater interest in, and a more Christian recognition of,
+the Negro as an equal participant in the Gospel plan, we regard it as
+Providential. We are not ready to concede that the Roman Catholic Church
+has been the friend of freedom, of education, of human rights and of
+progress. We do not see that anything is gained by claiming for Roman
+Catholicism to-day, or in the past, what is clearly not so. But the
+Roman Catholic Church has placed itself squarely on the doctrine of the
+Gospel as taught by Christ upon the question of universal brotherhood.
+Prejudiced as many may be by long years of training against the tenets
+of this church, all must acknowledge that this practice of the Romanists
+as manifested in the presence of a black man on terms of perfect
+equality, officiating at the altar of St. Augustine's Church, assisted
+on his right and left by white priests, in the presence of his Eminence
+Cardinal Gibbons, will be put in striking contrast with that of the
+white American Protestant churches who are willing on every occasion to
+sacrifice the Negro to secure the co-operation of the South on other
+than Gospel terms."
+
+ * * * * *
+
+Rev. George W. Moore, of the Lincoln Memorial Congregational Church, at
+Washington, to whom we are indebted for a full account of the sessions
+of the Congress, comments upon it as follows:
+
+"Mr. D.A. Rudd, of Cincinnati, editor of the _American Catholic
+Tribune_, a colored Catholic paper, was chosen permanent Chairman. Upon
+assuming the office he spoke favorably of the attitude of the Catholic
+Church towards the Negro, saying especially: 'The Fatherhood of God and
+the brotherhood of man is taught and practised by the Catholic Church in
+no doubtful terms.' He advocated the starting of Catholic schools and
+the aiding of those already started. The following facts were presented
+by the Committee on Resolutions: There are twenty colored Roman Catholic
+churches in the country, each of which has a school annexed. There are
+sixty-five other colored Roman Catholic schools; eight colored Roman
+Catholic orphan asylums; and three reformatories. Five thousand colored
+children are taught in these schools, and three hundred children in the
+asylums. Seven colored students are preparing to become priests. The
+Pope from Rome cabled his greetings in response to a cable from the
+Congress, saying: 'The Sovereign Pontiff gladly and proudly blesses you
+with all his heart.' The influence, patronage and wealth of the Roman
+Catholic Church are all at the service of this movement, and if
+Protestants build up caste-churches in the South, the Romanists will
+not."

+
+
+AMONG THE TENNESSEE MOUNTAINS.
+
+BY EVANGELIST JAMES WHARTON.
+
+
+My visit to the people among the mountains was rather a departure from
+my usual work--that of preaching to the colored people. I have preached
+here about two weeks, the attendance being good, and the interest
+deepening as the meetings went on, until now we have more than a score
+who have professed to find Jesus precious to their souls.
+
+The condition of the natives in this vicinity is very sad. Their
+ignorance and pride coupled make it almost impossible to do anything for
+them. The rough roads over the rocks and mountains make it a dangerous
+undertaking for them to attend church in the evenings. Several of us
+started for a meeting among them on a recent Saturday afternoon, with
+rubbers, umbrellas and waterproofs, prepared for mud and rain. We
+crossed a rickety old wooden bridge that had been nearly washed away by
+the floods, and commenced to climb the mountain side by a road that was
+nearly as steep as a steeple and which wended around to nearly every
+point of the compass, ever going up, over ruts and rocks, roots and
+trunks of trees, now jumping across a ravine, and next climbing a fence.
+At last among the thickets and brush there were some signs of life, and
+we came to an opening among the trees where we saw a miserable-looking
+old shanty. The first thought was, can it be possible that human beings
+live in a shed like this? We drew near and saw two women sitting with
+their knees up to the open fire on the hearth. They looked much
+surprised to see us. We told them that we were going to hold a meeting
+at a house a little farther on; will they go? No, they don't care to go,
+expectorating the tobacco juice from their mouths into the fire at the
+same time. We replied, "You would better go; it may be you will never
+have a chance to hear an Englishman again;" to which we got a reply,
+"Hear a w-h-a-a-t?" Whether they knew what an Englishman was, or not, or
+even if they ever heard there was such a country as England I cannot
+say; but I understand there are thousands of these people who know
+nothing of the outside world, and many who were never five miles away
+from their own door-step in their life. With a patch of ground for corn,
+another for tobacco, with wood for the fire, they are as contented as
+the President; alas, too contented!
+
+We entered the cabin to which we were going by a door-way in which we
+must needs bend our heads very low to get inside. The first thing that
+struck us was the gloom and darkness. In each corner of the room was a
+bed, with a smaller one pushed underneath, and two sick people suffering
+from slow fever. It is no wonder, for eleven people occupied this one
+room, about twelve feet square. Need we wonder that misery and squalor
+are seen all around? An old soap box from the grocery formed a corner
+cupboard. Two old chairs which perhaps belonged to their
+great-grandmother, all frame and no seat, an empty box, and a bucket of
+water with a tin scoop, formed the whole furniture of the mountain cabin.
+Poor souls! I was told that I had done wonders when one day, during an
+address, I got them to smile! It was quite a treat to see a smile upon
+their faces. Joy seems to be outside their domain altogether, and the
+worst feature appears to be that they have no desire for anything
+different. If they get the idea that you think them low down and want to
+lift them up, they at once commence to stretch themselves up to their
+full height and stand upon their dignity. They will not fail to tell you
+plainly that you must not think they belong to the "know-nothing" class.
+They "know what is right and what is wrong, without you coming here."
+This is often said, even by those who live immoral lives. Pride of race
+is often affected towards the colored people. A colored man
+unfortunately had been drinking and was left at the depot. Some one
+stumbled against him, saying, "I did not know it was a man; I thought it
+was baggage." His companion spoke up and said, "It isn't a man; it's a
+nigger." Often their children are bright, cheery-looking children,
+well-behaved, unassuming and quiet. These poor mountain people might do
+well to take a few lessons from many of their despised, dusky neighbors.
+
+The whole work, in my little time among these people, has greatly
+touched my heart and drawn out my sympathies towards them.

+
+ITEMS FROM THE FIELD.
+
+
+Trinity School, Athens, Ala.:
+
+"During December there was a special religious interest in view of the
+meetings held by Rev. Mr. Wharton, your missionary evangelist. The
+meetings were well attended by our students and by the people. These
+meetings were greatly blessed to the quickening and upbuilding of
+Christians, and twelve persons professed conversion. All of our pupils
+except one, above the primary department, are professing Christians. Our
+student prayer meetings are exceedingly precious seasons to teachers and
+pupils. We have just organized a Young People's Society of Christian
+Endeavor which promises to be very helpful.
+
+"On account of these meetings we could not make our usual preparations
+for a Christmas concert and presents to the children. Accordingly, we
+invited them all to our parlors to a reception on Wednesday the 26th,
+and to our great surprise, there came a Christmas box on Tuesday, with
+presents for every one, greatly to the joy of the little ones, yes, and
+of the large ones also. After the distribution of the gifts, delightful
+music bubbled from every throat, and the universal testimony was, 'This
+is the best Christmas I ever spent.'"
+
+Straight University, New Orleans, La.:
+
+"We are having a glorious revival. Every night during the Week of Prayer
+there have been glad hearts. I think there is scarcely a boarding
+student who is not thoroughly aroused. Most are seeking the Saviour.
+Eighteen have found peace. Many day students, and others who are not
+students, have been much interested. One young man who has been a
+scoffer at all good things, came to the meetings, and soon came under
+the influence and asked us to pray for him. As I write in Stone Hall, I
+hear on all sides the sound of prayer and singing."
+
+The new church at Crossville, Tenn., was dedicated on Sunday, Dec. 30th.
+The new building is very tasteful and convenient, in a beautiful and
+central location. Six new members were received--all Northern people.
+The house was full both morning and evening. Much interest was shown.
+Rev. G.S. Pope preached in the morning and Rev. S.E. Lathrop in the
+evening.
+
+Sherwood Academy opened its new winter term with increasing numbers. The
+school is gaining favor with all classes and is doing an excellent work.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+"Habits and Manners," is the title of a neat little volume by Mrs. W.A.
+Armstrong, of Hampton, Va. It is made up of the lectures delivered by
+Mrs. Armstrong to the students of the Institution, and is a remarkably
+clear statement of the rules that should govern the habits and manners
+of ladies and gentlemen. These lectures, though originally addressed to
+colored students, are equally applicable to white people, for here, at
+least, color makes no difference. The book has many other items of
+interest, as for example, rules for cooking, recipes, etc.

+
+
+THE CHINESE.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+
+A GLIMPSE AT SHADY SIDE.
+
+REV. W.C. POND, D.D.
+
+Our friends will get a quite one-sided and mistaken view of our work
+among the Chinese, as of any other missionary work, if they have nothing
+but the sunny-side reports to read. It is a war that we are waging, and
+war is serious business. The varied fortune of the battle involves
+defeats, incidental and temporary, on the way to the final victory.
+Sometimes it is hope deferred.
+
+There are Chinese in whom we have come to be deeply interested, for whom
+we have long prayed, who have for years been among the most constant and
+most pleasing of our pupils, and for years have been convinced that an
+idol is nothing, but that the God of the Bible is the only true God, and
+the Christ of the Gospel the only true Saviour, who stop just there.
+Over and over again we ask about them, only to find them still _just
+there_. Not a step forward seems to have been taken, and meanwhile
+time--weeks that grow to months, and months that grow even to years--
+time that might be full of service, runs to waste. The heart gets sick
+with this hope deferred.
+
+Then there are cases of disappointment. Bright hopes have darkened
+almost to the blackness of very despair. A brother whose conversion,
+(_must_ I say _apparent_ conversion?) has seemed to be unusually clear;
+whose walk as a Christian seemed, while he was with us, to be well-nigh
+perfect; whose spirit was singularly humble, devout and Christly; who
+was growing rapidly in knowledge of the word, and could already preach
+the word with power, goes back to his home in China. Sore pressure is
+brought to bear upon him, and he pays some sort of homage at an idol's
+shrine. He feels forthwith condemned. He will not be a hypocrite, and
+therefore will no longer profess to be a Christian. Now that he has
+returned to California, he is ashamed, he says, to show himself among
+the brethren. He stands aloof; keeps out of sight, and thus takes the
+very path along which Judas hastened to his doom. In vain do we show him
+the better way of faith; in vain speak to him of Peter, or of the
+Father's welcome to the prodigal, and the delight we once had in him
+adds soreness to the heartache of our disappointed hope.
+
+These are not solitary cases. Yet we may thank God that they represent
+not the general rule, but the exceptions. The general rule is that of
+constancy and faithfulness, and these exceptions are such as occurred
+even in the Apostolic ministries: how much more to be expected in ours!
+Yet the pain they bring and the shadow they cast are none the less real
+and deep.
+
+Another element in shady side arises in a quite different quarter.
+"Coming events cast their shadows before," and these shadows just now
+obscure our sunny side. We resolve not to be worried about to-morrow,
+and yet we must not enter doors that open except we first count the
+cost. That coming event is a deficit that seems inevitable, unless we
+shut our ears to what sound like the calls of God. Our plan heretofore
+has been to listen to these calls and answer them if possible, believing
+that he who gives the commission will not fail to supply the means. Nor
+has this faith been put to shame. Yet, when the rules of arithmetic
+confront one at every summing of his probable resources and subtracting
+of his fixed expenditures, and the figures, like fleshless, bony
+fingers, point him to deficits and unpaid bills impending, then, even
+while faith maintains her hold, it cannot be denied that shadows cross
+our path. Our friends who have helped us hitherto must expect some
+urgent appeals before this fiscal year is ended. The utmost economy
+shall be practised. Each dollar shall be made to do full service, if
+care and watchfulness on our part can assure this, but the work must not
+be hindered. Souls are at stake, priceless and immortal.
+
+I have not yet reached the end of my catalogue of shadows, but I soon
+tire of looking at the shady side. Shadow pre-supposes sunshine, and
+sunshine there is, clear, abundant, having cheer in it for the present
+and promise for the future--promise of harvests such as may make this
+year to be as the last and even more abundant.

+
+
+ANNIVERSARY OF CHINESE MISSIONS.
+
+Superintendent Dr. Pond is a modest man, and we, therefore, take the
+liberty of quoting from the _Congregationalist_ a little sketch by our
+friend Dr. Holbrook, of the recent anniversary of the Chinese Mission as
+presenting a broad ray of sunshine over the "Shady Side," as given in
+Brother Pond's candid article above.
+
+ The Chinese Mission of the A.M.A. on the Pacific coast, under
+ the superintendence of Rev. W.C. Pond, D.D., is very efficient
+ and successful. Its thirteenth anniversary was held on Sunday
+ evening, December 9, in the First Congregational Church in San
+ Francisco, Prof. I.E. Dwinell presiding. The exercises by the
+ Chinese converts indicated remarkable proficiency in the English
+ language and in music, both in solos and choruses. Jee Gam, the
+ first convert, and now employed by the courts as an interpreter,
+ read an address on "The Congregational Association of Christian
+ Chinese," of such merit in thought and language, that some
+ doubted its originality, which, however, was vouched for by Dr.
+ Pond. The writer sketched its origin in 1871 and the progress of
+ the Association since, and said it had been the means of the
+ conversion of more than 700 Chinese, and that it designs to send
+ missionaries to China. It is self-supporting, though the
+ expenditures during the year have been $9,619.50, of which
+ $2,066 were for rent. Dr. Pond advocated the appointment of
+ itinerant preachers to labor with the Chinese in the moving
+ camps on the railroads. Rev. Dr. Barrows made a very effective
+ appeal for funds, and a collection was taken. Dr. Pond certainly
+ deserves great credit for his labors in this department, in
+ addition to the pastorate of Bethany Church in San Francisco, in
+ which there are a large number of Chinese.

+
+
+THE MOUNTAIN GIRLS.
+
+But why the _girls_? Because the girls are immortal as well as the boys.
+Because the girls in their education have been neglected far more than
+the boys. Because the _girls_ are to be the _mothers_ of the next
+generation.
+
+That they are immortal, and capable of becoming and doing much in this
+life would seem to be doubted even by their parents. The neglect of the
+girls in their physical, mental, moral, and religious education, is
+enough to draw pity even from the most stupid Christian.
+
+Hundreds are put into field work from spring till autumn. They follow
+the mule and "bull tongue." They wield the heavy hoe, sprouting newly
+cleared land. They look after cattle on the ranges and the mountain
+swine, and if these are needed for meat, kill and dress them as a man
+would do. Said a woman the other day, "I wish I had as many dollars as I
+have alone killed and dressed hogs." With parents the _boy_ means a
+"heap" more than the _girl_. A boy can shoot deer and coon, fox and
+rabbit, can build cabins, can keep school, and "seems" be a doctor or go
+to Congress. With this impression, if anybody is clothed and sent to
+school, it is the _boy_, while as a rule, the girl is poorly clad and
+stays at home to do the boy's work, to make "craps," and grow up in
+ignorance. If in berry time they can get a few dimes to buy a calico
+dress and a pair of shoes, contentment settles over their faces.
+Aspirations for anything better they have not, for an avenue leading to
+a more hopeful life they have never dreamed of. To look into the future
+there is nothing sunny or bright. Illiterate, they marry young some poor
+fellow, and with no money they begin life, build their cabin home in the
+timber land, girdle a few acres of the stately trees of oak and
+chestnut, and there raise a family to take the same dark and gloomy view
+of life the parents have had.
+
+Must this condition of things continue, among a people, too, who are all
+native born Americans, who have fair native abilities to become a power
+for good if trained in Christian schools?
+
+_Is it not time a special_ effort be made for these _girls_? They are
+growing older. They will soon be the mothers of a new generation. With
+illiterate mothers what will that generation be? Just what the present
+generation now is. What will it be if these girls now growing up are
+brought into a school like ours at Pleasant Hill? Here, if there can be
+sufficient room and ample teaching force, they will be taught and
+trained in a practical knowledge of all the duties of life, especially
+in those of the household. If we educate and save the _girls_ we are
+using the very lever needed to lift these hopeless and neglected
+thousands living at our very doors, out of their degraded life and bring
+them into the light of the 19th century, and qualify them to take
+positions among the best women of the land.
+
+The work for which I plead is full of encouragement and hope. It is not
+in Africa. It is within one or two days' ride of the largest and most
+wealthy churches of our country, those who love the Kingdom of Christ
+and have sent, and are still sending, their thousands of dollars to the
+ends of the earth, while these bright American girls are, by some
+strange oversight, neglected at our very doors.
+
+The American Missionary Association has undertaken a noble work among
+them, and something has been accomplished, yet this good work has but
+just begun. The grey dawn has only cast a few signs of daylight over the
+mountains. To carry this work forward successfully in behalf of the
+neglected girls, there should be, in a great natural center of
+operations like Pleasant Hill, a spacious boarding hall with an
+industrial department and home, for those girls. It should not be
+stinted in size, but large, well-arranged, and well-equipped in all its
+departments from the primary upwards, where they can be taught
+everything a girl ought to learn, not only in books and in a Christian
+life, but taught to sew, knit, darn stockings, to make good bread, and
+keep house with order and neatness, and do everything needed to be done
+in a Christian home. If the _native girls_ can come from their cabin
+homes into such an institution and be thus thoroughly trained, the axe
+is then laid at the very root of the tree of a squalid life of
+illiteracy, and a life of Christian culture and hope comes in its place,
+where Christian mothers throw angelic brightness over their households,
+and families of children are trained to act well their part in this
+great and growing nation. The institution I suggest, and for which I
+must plead, should not only be large enough to accommodate girls near at
+hand, but from other neighboring States who stand in need of such a home
+and training. It should be a Bethel for these immortal waifs, a house of
+bread, so well provided for as to take the poorest who cannot pay a cent
+of their own expenses. On this base it will be doing the greatest and
+grandest work possible for the two millions and a half who are scattered
+as lost sheep over the mountains of our own land.

+Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions

+
+Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no
+one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation
+(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without
+permission and without paying copyright royalties. Special rules,
+set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to
+copying and distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works to
+protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm concept and trademark. Project
+Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if you
+charge for the eBooks, unless you receive specific permission. If you
+do not charge anything for copies of this eBook, complying with the
+rules is very easy. You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose
+such as creation of derivative works, reports, performances and
+research. They may be modified and printed and given away--you may do
+practically ANYTHING with public domain eBooks. Redistribution is
+subject to the trademark license, especially commercial
+redistribution.

+*** START: FULL LICENSE ***
+
+THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE
+PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
+distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at
+https://gutenberg.org/license).
+
+
+Section 1. General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A. By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement. If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B. "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See
+paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works. See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States. If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed. Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work. You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder. Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4. Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5. Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6. You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form. However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form. Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7. Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.8. You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+ the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+ you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is
+ owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+ has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+ Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments
+ must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+ prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+ returns. Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+ sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+ address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+ the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+ you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+ does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+ License. You must require such a user to return or
+ destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+ and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+ Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+ money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+ electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+ of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+ distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark. Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org. Email contact links and up to date contact
+information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official
+page at https://pglaf.org
+
+For additional contact information:
+ Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+ Chief Executive and Director
+ gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+<h2><a name="OUR_LIST_OF_GOOD_SAMARITANS" id="OUR_LIST_OF_GOOD_SAMARITANS"></a>OUR LIST OF GOOD SAMARITANS.</h2>
+
+<p>This number of the MISSIONARY contains the annual list of our workers,
+who go down the Jericho road to care for those who have been wronged,
+the poor and ignorant, who need the Gospel. Our ministers and teachers
+are not like the priest and the Levite, who looked upon the poor man and
+then "passed by on the other side;" nor do they merely pity and utter
+words of sympathy. They take right hold and help. They "pour in the oil
+and the wine," and they build the <i>inns</i>&mdash;that is, the churches and
+schoolhouses where they instruct and help the needy ones till they can
+take care of themselves and help to take care of others&mdash;the most
+genuine kind of assistance.</p>
+
+<p>It must be remembered that this requires expenditure. The oil and the
+wine, the inn and the constant attendance, call for money. Our
+constituents, who furnish this, want the work done and well done, and
+they are willing to pay for it. But sometimes they need to be reminded
+of the cost. At our last Annual Meeting, the "two pence" which they had
+during the year put into our hands, counted in American money, amounted
+to $323,147.22; and they said: "Whatsoever thou spendest more, when I
+come again I will repay thee." We are very careful to watch the receipts
+and expenditures, and we find that for the three months since the Annual
+Meeting, we have received from all sources $66,958.43; whereas, the
+current expenditures for the three months require about $86,000. We give
+this timely notice that they who commit to us this work may remit to us
+what is needed.</p>
+
+<p>Let it be understood that the generous gift of that noble friend of the
+Negro race was not entrusted to us to do the work of the good Samaritans
+of the Churches. We are not permitted to use it for this. The yearly
+income of the Daniel Hand Fund is to do the work of Daniel Hand&mdash;no
+more. For this, God will reward him and generations will bless him, but
+he leaves the churches and individual Christians to carry on their own
+work as before and to reap the blessings of it. We cannot give the
+Daniel Hand Fund to <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_32" id="Page_32"></a>[32]</span> the churches. We cannot expend it for the churches. It
+relieves no one of duty and privilege. It is limited also, to its use.
+The churches and the schools to which we are already committed call for
+a great increase in self-denial and benevolence.</p>
+
+<p>Pastors and members of the churches, the work is increasingly great. It
+enlarges itself. Other denominations are increasing their efforts to
+meet the pressing emergency. Let it not be said that our churches&mdash;the
+first in the field and the most efficient&mdash;are falling behind in the
+ranks. Let our banner be ever at the front. Let us do our work.</p>
+
+
+
+<hr style="width: 65%;" />
+<h2><a name="AN_EXPLICIT_WARNING" id="AN_EXPLICIT_WARNING"></a>AN EXPLICIT WARNING.</h2>
+
+<p>One of our missionaries was recently at the North soliciting aid in
+sustaining his work. His appeal was repeatedly met by the response: "The
+Association is rich&mdash;it has just had a gift of more than a million of
+dollars." When he explained that only the interest can be used, and this
+for educational work only, the reply was: "This interest can be used in
+payment of appropriations already made for schools, thus releasing just
+so much for other purposes."</p>
+
+<p>Now this is exactly what <i>cannot</i> be done. The Daniel Hand Fund is for
+<i>new</i> work, and only in the industrial, primary and normal schools. It
+is a priceless boon in this department, for we can now make enlargements
+here which were greatly needed, but for which we had not the means; but
+no part of this Fund can be applied to meet appropriations for other
+portions of the work. If our constituents will not enable us to meet
+those other demands, we can only report a debt; the Daniel Hand Fund
+cannot help us. We are confident this needs only to be understood, for
+we cannot believe that the 457,584 members of our churches have any wish
+to shelter themselves behind Daniel Hand.</p>
+
+
+
+<hr style="width: 65%;" />
+<h2><a name="PRIVILEGES_OF_LIFE_MEMBERSHIP" id="PRIVILEGES_OF_LIFE_MEMBERSHIP"></a>PRIVILEGES OF LIFE MEMBERSHIP.</h2>
+
+<p>The question is sometimes asked in letters we receive, What are the
+privileges of a Life Member in the A.M.A.? We answer:</p>
+
+<p>1. The privilege of voting at the Annual Meeting. Our amended
+constitution says: "Members of evangelical churches may be constituted
+members of this Association for life by the payment of $30 into its
+treasury, with the written declaration at the time or times of payment
+that the sum is to be applied to constitute a designated person a Life
+Member, and such membership shall begin sixty days after the payment
+shall have been completed."</p>
+
+<p>2. A Life Member is entitled to THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY and to the
+ANNUAL REPORT gratuitously, if desired.</p>
+
+<p>3. The highest privilege is that of being a <i>live</i> member, doing all
+that he <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_33" id="Page_33"></a>[33]</span> can to promote the interests of the Association and of the needy
+peoples for whom it labors.</p>
+
+
+
+<hr style="width: 65%;" />
+<h2><a name="THE_AMERICAN_MISSIONARY" id="THE_AMERICAN_MISSIONARY"></a>THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY.</h2>
+
+<p>We have two objects in printing this magazine. First, to have it read,
+and, secondly, to have it paid for. The main purpose is the first, of
+course, for we wish to have it read if it is not paid for, yet we
+greatly prefer to have it both read and paid for. We believe that those
+who pay for it are most likely to read it, and for this reason we fear
+that this item will be seen only by those who do not need this reminder,
+but we draw the bow at a venture and tell our readers that the price of
+the magazine is 50 cents a year.</p>
+
+<hr style='width: 45%;' />
+
+<p>We wish to inform the pastors and churches that we have just issued a
+new <i>Annual Leaflet</i>, brief and packed with facts, and suitable for
+distribution in the pews before collections are taken for the
+Association. We shall be glad to furnish a supply gratuitously whenever
+called for.</p>
+
+<p>Our Annual Report, also, is ready for distribution. Those who wish it
+will please send us a postal card requesting it.</p>

+<h2><a name="THE_ROMAN_CATHOLICS_AND_THE_FREEDMEN" id="THE_ROMAN_CATHOLICS_AND_THE_FREEDMEN"></a>THE ROMAN CATHOLICS AND THE FREEDMEN.</h2>
+
+<p>Soon after the war the Roman Catholics seemed to have made a strong
+effort to win the Freedmen to their faith, and many Protestants felt a
+good degree of apprehension that the splendors of the ceremonial and the
+absence of race distinction might captivate the Negro. But the effort
+was unsuccessful and appeared for a time to have been abandoned. It has
+often been said, however, that the Church of Rome never surrenders an
+undertaking; it may delay and wait for more auspicious times, but in the
+end it perseveres. There are some indications of the renewal of the zeal
+of the Papacy for the Negro. The article in another part of the
+magazine, entitled "The Colored Catholic Congress," is an evidence.</p>
+
+<p>One thing is certain. The Roman Catholic Church deserves praise for its
+disregard of the color-line. The rich and the poor, the white and the
+black, bow at the same altar, and one of the highest dignitaries of the
+church is not ashamed to stand side by side with the black man on a
+great public occasion. Protestants at the North and the South must not
+allow the Romanists to surpass them in this Christ-like position.</p>
+
+<hr style='width: 45%;' />
+
+<p>We ask our friends to read Mr. Dodge's article about the school at
+Pleasant Hill, Tenn. One thousand dollars has already been pledged for
+this building, on condition that the remainder of the $5,000 be secured.
+We ask that this remainder be given by <i>individuals</i>, and not taken from
+Church or Sunday-school contributions&mdash;all of which are needed for
+current work.</p>

+<h2><a name="NOTES_FROM_NEW_ENGLAND" id="NOTES_FROM_NEW_ENGLAND"></a>NOTES FROM NEW ENGLAND.</h2>
+
+<p>I have swapped horses&mdash;exchanged a Georgia mule for a New England
+thoroughbred&mdash;and hereafter the "Notes in the Saddle" will be written
+from this dignified seat. And what a change it is from the South to New
+England!</p>
+
+<p>Take a map and look it over. Put down in each State the illiteracy, and
+make the comparison. In this good Commonwealth of Massachusetts only
+seven-tenths of one per cent. of the native born white population are
+illiterate, while in Georgia twenty-three per cent. of the native
+whites, and in North Carolina thirty-two per cent. of the native whites,
+are illiterate.</p>
+
+<p>The South is pre-eminently the great missionary ground for our
+Congregational Churches; for Congregationalism means the school-house as
+truly as the church&mdash;and here in New England there is most enthusiastic
+sympathy with, and support of, the American Missionary Association in
+its great work in that section of our country committed to its care by
+the churches.</p>
+
+<p>They want the A.M.A. to take Congregationalism into the South, and
+whether it organize churches mostly of whites or mostly of blacks, New
+England demands that a Christian of any color be admitted into any
+church because he is a Christian. The feeling is intense here and
+growing more so.</p>
+
+<p>Congregationalism could have planted its churches all over the South
+before the war, but it would not strike hands with slavery; so, to-day
+the children of the Pilgrims demand that the A.M.A., in its growing
+work, shall stand true to the historic principles of the fathers, and
+not compromise Christian truth for any seeming temporary advantage.</p>
+
+<hr style='width: 45%;' />
+
+<p>There is great interest in the work among the American Highlanders which
+the A.M.A. is pushing with such vigor. I spoke in a church near Boston
+recently, and, after the service, a young man, his eyes bright, his face
+flushed, hurried down the aisle and exclaimed, "I am a Kentuckian!" I
+had been telling some plain and rather painful truths concerning the
+people of Kentucky&mdash;the murders committed there; their lack of school
+privileges, etc. I thought this friend might question some of my
+statements, but I was delighted when he said: "I thank God that some one
+is ready to call attention to the terrible needs of my own State. I
+can't get people to believe me when I tell them of those needs. I was
+brought up on the edge of the mountains and know them well, and I do not
+believe there is any spot on earth more needy than that region of my own
+State." He accentuated his words by a generous gift to the Mountain Work
+of our Association.</p>
+
+<hr style='width: 45%;' />
+
+<p>A good friend of the A.M.A. in Gorham, Me., put into my hands the letter
+of Edward Payson, in which he accepted the call of the Second Parish
+Church of Portland, requesting that it be sold and the proceeds go to
+the A.M.A. work. It is a most interesting historical document, of value
+to <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_35" id="Page_35"></a>[35]</span> some one collecting historical literature. It was a generous gift,
+for this kind woman valued it highly.</p>
+
+<hr style='width: 45%;' />
+
+<p>The President, S.D. Smith, of the "Smith Organ Company," of Boston is
+filling our schools with music, gladness and praise. He has sent three
+organs to as many schools, within a few months, at no cost whatever to
+the Association, giving these grand instruments and paying freight on
+them to the field!</p>
+
+<hr style='width: 45%;' />
+
+<p>One message that comes from the work in North Carolina is of so much
+interest that it ought to have a place here. A teacher had been visiting
+her former field of labor, and she writes of this visit as follows:</p>
+
+<p>"One young man, who was but a small lad when I left there, came to shake
+hands with me and said, 'Do you remember how you talked to me right out
+there under that tree? I tried at first to get away from you, but you
+would not let me go till I promised you I would give myself to the Lord.
+I thought, "Now I must not lie to that woman," and I did what I promised
+right there, and I have kept serving him ever since.'"</p>
+
+<p>Such evidences of souls renewed is worth a life of even such
+self-sacrifice as this brave woman lives. Like testimony could be gathered
+of many of these A.M.A. missionaries.</p>
+
+
+
+<hr style="width: 65%;" />
+<h2><a name="DEATH_OF_PROF_A_HATCH" id="DEATH_OF_PROF_A_HATCH"></a>DEATH OF PROF. A. HATCH.</h2>
+
+<p>We are called with sadness to chronicle the death of another of our
+noble Christian workers at the South. Prof. Azel Hatch, the Principal of
+our Normal School in Lexington, Ky., closed his earthly labors and
+entered his heavenly rest on the 31st of December, 1888. His illness
+began with a severe cold, but it was soon discovered that congestion of
+the brain had set in, and the end rapidly came.</p>
+
+<p>Prof. Hatch was born January 16, 1852, was educated at Oberlin College
+and at the Union Theological Seminary in New York. He entered the
+service of this Association in 1876, and has occupied honorable
+positions in the schools at Montgomery, Ala., Tougaloo, Miss., and in
+Lexington, Ky. In every post of duty, Mr. Hatch has shown himself to be
+a faithful, conscientious and Christian worker, shrinking from no duty,
+winning the confidence of the teachers and pupils, and showing adequate
+results from his efficient labors. Mr. Hatch was reserved in manner, but
+courteous and affable, and a man of spotless integrity and of entire
+consecration to the work of the Master. It is a grief to record the
+death of such faithful men, but it is a consolation to know that their
+work was done and well done. The Christian life is not measured by its
+length, but by the discharge of the duties allotted by the Heavenly
+Father.</p>

+<h2><a name="CONVENTION_OF_COLORED_ROMAN_CATHOLICS" id="CONVENTION_OF_COLORED_ROMAN_CATHOLICS"></a>CONVENTION OF COLORED ROMAN CATHOLICS.</h2>
+
+<p>"A National Convention of Colored Roman Catholics, composed of delegates
+from nearly all the colored Roman Catholic churches and societies in the
+country, began its sessions on the morning of January 1st, in the St.
+Augustine Colored Catholic Church in Washington. Every seat was occupied
+when Father Tolton, of Quincy, Ill., the only colored Catholic priest in
+the United States, began the celebration of solemn High Mass.
+Immediately in front of and beneath the pulpit sat his Eminence,
+Cardinal Gibbons, who delivered the sermon. He was clad in scarlet
+robes. At the conclusion of the sermon, the Cardinal welcomed the
+delegates in his own name, and in the name of the clergy and of the
+congregation. He said:</p>
+
+<p>"'This gathering will mark an era in the history of the colored people
+of the United States, for never before have colored Catholics of the
+country met in convention.' He suggested that the convention discuss the
+education of the children&mdash;the religious education necessary to the life
+of the Republic. <i>The universal level of the Catholic Church&mdash;its
+equality&mdash;was eloquently dilated upon, and attention was directed to the
+fact that a colored priest had celebrated mass in company with two white
+clergymen.</i>"</p>
+
+<p>We quote the above from the <i>People's Advocate</i>, a paper published in
+Washington, D.C., by colored editors and in the interests of the colored
+people. In comments upon the above report, it adds:</p>
+
+<p>"The presence of a Negro priest of pure lineage, born a slave, ordained
+at Rome, Augustus Tolton&mdash;the property of Stephen Elliot, as the record
+stands in the Vatican&mdash;the appearance of Cardinal Gibbons in his
+official robes to sanction the meeting, his eloquent reference to the
+universality of the Church of Rome that 'knows neither North, South,
+East or West; that knows neither Jew nor Gentile, Greek, Barbarian nor
+Scythian,' may mislead the unwary as to the real object of the movement.
+Its real purpose is to propagate the Roman Catholic faith among the
+colored people. So far as this meeting will secure from white
+Protestants a greater interest in, and a more Christian recognition of,
+the Negro as an equal participant in the Gospel plan, we regard it as
+Providential. We are not ready to concede that the Roman Catholic Church
+has been the friend of freedom, of education, of human rights and of
+progress. We do not see that anything is gained by claiming for Roman
+Catholicism to-day, or in the past, what is clearly not so. But the
+Roman Catholic Church has placed itself squarely on the doctrine of the
+Gospel as taught by Christ upon the question of universal brotherhood.
+Prejudiced as many may be by long years of training against the tenets
+of this church, all must acknowledge that this practice of the Romanists
+as manifested in the presence of a black man on terms of perfect
+equality, officiating at the altar of St. Augustine's Church, assisted
+on his right and left by white priests, in the presence of his Eminence
+Cardinal Gibbons, will be put in striking contrast with that of the
+white American <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_47" id="Page_47"></a>[47]</span> Protestant churches who are willing on every occasion to
+sacrifice the Negro to secure the co-operation of the South on other
+than Gospel terms."</p>
+
+<hr style='width: 45%;' />
+
+<p>Rev. George W. Moore, of the Lincoln Memorial Congregational Church, at
+Washington, to whom we are indebted for a full account of the sessions
+of the Congress, comments upon it as follows:</p>
+
+<p>"Mr. D.A. Rudd, of Cincinnati, editor of the <i>American Catholic
+Tribune</i>, a colored Catholic paper, was chosen permanent Chairman. Upon
+assuming the office he spoke favorably of the attitude of the Catholic
+Church towards the Negro, saying especially: 'The Fatherhood of God and
+the brotherhood of man is taught and practised by the Catholic Church in
+no doubtful terms.' He advocated the starting of Catholic schools and
+the aiding of those already started. The following facts were presented
+by the Committee on Resolutions: There are twenty colored Roman Catholic
+churches in the country, each of which has a school annexed. There are
+sixty-five other colored Roman Catholic schools; eight colored Roman
+Catholic orphan asylums; and three reformatories. Five thousand colored
+children are taught in these schools, and three hundred children in the
+asylums. Seven colored students are preparing to become priests. The
+Pope from Rome cabled his greetings in response to a cable from the
+Congress, saying: 'The Sovereign Pontiff gladly and proudly blesses you
+with all his heart.' The influence, patronage and wealth of the Roman
+Catholic Church are all at the service of this movement, and if
+Protestants build up caste-churches in the South, the Romanists will
+not."</p>

+
+<h4>BY EVANGELIST JAMES WHARTON.</h4>
+
+
+<p>My visit to the people among the mountains was rather a departure from
+my usual work&mdash;that of preaching to the colored people. I have preached
+here about two weeks, the attendance being good, and the interest
+deepening as the meetings went on, until now we have more than a score
+who have professed to find Jesus precious to their souls.</p>
+
+<p>The condition of the natives in this vicinity is very sad. Their
+ignorance and pride coupled make it almost impossible to do anything for
+them. The rough roads over the rocks and mountains make it a dangerous
+undertaking for them to attend church in the evenings. Several of us
+started for a meeting among them on a recent Saturday afternoon, with
+rubbers, umbrellas and waterproofs, prepared for mud and rain. We
+crossed a rickety old wooden bridge that had been nearly washed away by
+the floods, and commenced to climb the mountain side by a road that was
+nearly as steep as a steeple and which wended around to nearly every
+point of the compass, ever going up, over ruts and rocks, roots and
+trunks of trees, now jumping across a ravine, and next climbing a fence.
+At last among the thickets and brush there were <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_48" id="Page_48"></a>[48]</span> some signs of life, and
+we came to an opening among the trees where we saw a miserable-looking
+old shanty. The first thought was, can it be possible that human beings
+live in a shed like this? We drew near and saw two women sitting with
+their knees up to the open fire on the hearth. They looked much
+surprised to see us. We told them that we were going to hold a meeting
+at a house a little farther on; will they go? No, they don't care to go,
+expectorating the tobacco juice from their mouths into the fire at the
+same time. We replied, "You would better go; it may be you will never
+have a chance to hear an Englishman again;" to which we got a reply,
+"Hear a w-h-a-a-t?" Whether they knew what an Englishman was, or not, or
+even if they ever heard there was such a country as England I cannot
+say; but I understand there are thousands of these people who know
+nothing of the outside world, and many who were never five miles away
+from their own door-step in their life. With a patch of ground for corn,
+another for tobacco, with wood for the fire, they are as contented as
+the President; alas, too contented!</p>
+
+<p>We entered the cabin to which we were going by a door-way in which we
+must needs bend our heads very low to get inside. The first thing that
+struck us was the gloom and darkness. In each corner of the room was a
+bed, with a smaller one pushed underneath, and two sick people suffering
+from slow fever. It is no wonder, for eleven people occupied this one
+room, about twelve feet square. Need we wonder that misery and squalor
+are seen all around? An old soap box from the grocery formed a corner
+cupboard. Two old chairs which perhaps belonged to their
+great-grandmother, all frame and no seat, an empty box, and a bucket of
+water with a tin scoop, formed the whole furniture of the mountain cabin.
+Poor souls! I was told that I had done wonders when one day, during an
+address, I got them to smile! It was quite a treat to see a smile upon
+their faces. Joy seems to be outside their domain altogether, and the
+worst feature appears to be that they have no desire for anything
+different. If they get the idea that you think them low down and want to
+lift them up, they at once commence to stretch themselves up to their
+full height and stand upon their dignity. They will not fail to tell you
+plainly that you must not think they belong to the "know-nothing" class.
+They "know what is right and what is wrong, without you coming here."
+This is often said, even by those who live immoral lives. Pride of race
+is often affected towards the colored people. A colored man
+unfortunately had been drinking and was left at the depot. Some one
+stumbled against him, saying, "I did not know it was a man; I thought it
+was baggage." His companion spoke up and said, "It isn't a man; it's a
+nigger." Often their children are bright, cheery-looking children,
+well-behaved, unassuming and quiet. These poor mountain people might do
+well to take a few lessons from many of their despised, dusky neighbors.</p>
+
+<p>The whole work, in my little time among these people, has greatly
+touched my heart and drawn out my sympathies towards them.</p>

+
+<p>"During December there was a special religious interest in view of the
+meetings held by Rev. Mr. Wharton, your missionary evangelist. The
+meetings were well attended by our students and by the people. These
+meetings were greatly blessed to the quickening and upbuilding of
+Christians, and twelve persons professed conversion. All of our pupils
+except one, above the primary department, are professing Christians. Our
+student prayer meetings are exceedingly precious seasons to teachers and
+pupils. We have just organized a Young People's Society of Christian
+Endeavor which promises to be very helpful.</p>
+
+<p>"On account of these meetings we could not make our usual preparations
+for a Christmas concert and presents to the children. Accordingly, we
+invited them all to our parlors to a reception on Wednesday the 26th,
+and to our great surprise, there came a Christmas box on Tuesday, with
+presents for every one, greatly to the joy of the little ones, yes, and
+of the large ones also. After the distribution of the gifts, delightful
+music bubbled from every throat, and the universal testimony was, 'This
+is the best Christmas I ever spent.'"</p>

+
+<p>"We are having a glorious revival. Every night during the Week of Prayer
+there have been glad hearts. I think there is scarcely a boarding
+student who is not thoroughly aroused. Most are seeking the Saviour.
+Eighteen have found peace. Many day students, and others who are not
+students, have been much interested. One young man who has been a
+scoffer at all good things, came to the meetings, and soon came under
+the influence and asked us to pray for him. As I write in Stone Hall, I
+hear on all sides the sound of prayer and singing."</p>

+
+<h4>REV. W.C. POND, D.D.</h4>
+
+<p>Our friends will get a quite one-sided and mistaken view of our work
+among the Chinese, as of any other missionary work, if they have nothing
+but the sunny-side reports to read. It is a war that we are waging, and
+war is serious business. The varied fortune of the battle involves
+defeats, incidental and temporary, on the way to the final victory.
+Sometimes it is hope deferred.</p>
+
+<p>There are Chinese in whom we have come to be deeply interested, for whom
+we have long prayed, who have for years been among the most constant and
+most pleasing of our pupils, and for years have been convinced that an
+idol is nothing, but that the God of the Bible is the only true God, and
+the Christ of the Gospel the only true Saviour, who stop just there.
+Over and over again we ask about them, only to find them still <i>just
+there</i>. Not a step forward seems to have been taken, and meanwhile
+time&mdash;weeks that grow to months, and months that grow even to years&mdash;
+time that might be full of service, runs to waste. The heart gets sick
+with this hope deferred.</p>
+
+<p>Then there are cases of disappointment. Bright hopes have darkened
+almost to the blackness of very despair. A brother whose conversion,
+(<i>must</i> I say <i>apparent</i> conversion?) has seemed to be unusually clear;
+whose walk as a Christian seemed, while he was with us, to be well-nigh
+perfect; whose spirit was singularly humble, devout and Christly; who
+was growing rapidly in knowledge of the word, and could already preach
+the word with power, goes back to his home in China. Sore pressure is
+brought to bear upon him, and he pays some sort of homage at an idol's
+shrine. He feels forthwith condemned. He will not be a hypocrite, and
+therefore will no longer profess to be a Christian. Now that he has
+returned to California, he is ashamed, he says, to show himself among
+the brethren. He stands aloof; keeps out of sight, and thus takes the
+very path along which Judas hastened to his doom. In vain do we show him
+the better way of faith; in vain speak to him of Peter, or of the
+Father's welcome to the prodigal, and the delight we once had in him
+adds soreness to the heartache of our disappointed hope.</p>
+
+<p>These are not solitary cases. Yet we may thank God that they represent
+not the general rule, but the exceptions. The general rule is that of
+constancy and faithfulness, and these exceptions are such as occurred
+even <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_51" id="Page_51"></a>[51]</span> in the Apostolic ministries: how much more to be expected in ours!
+Yet the pain they bring and the shadow they cast are none the less real
+and deep.</p>
+
+<p>Another element in shady side arises in a quite different quarter.
+"Coming events cast their shadows before," and these shadows just now
+obscure our sunny side. We resolve not to be worried about to-morrow,
+and yet we must not enter doors that open except we first count the
+cost. That coming event is a deficit that seems inevitable, unless we
+shut our ears to what sound like the calls of God. Our plan heretofore
+has been to listen to these calls and answer them if possible, believing
+that he who gives the commission will not fail to supply the means. Nor
+has this faith been put to shame. Yet, when the rules of arithmetic
+confront one at every summing of his probable resources and subtracting
+of his fixed expenditures, and the figures, like fleshless, bony
+fingers, point him to deficits and unpaid bills impending, then, even
+while faith maintains her hold, it cannot be denied that shadows cross
+our path. Our friends who have helped us hitherto must expect some
+urgent appeals before this fiscal year is ended. The utmost economy
+shall be practised. Each dollar shall be made to do full service, if
+care and watchfulness on our part can assure this, but the work must not
+be hindered. Souls are at stake, priceless and immortal.</p>
+
+<p>I have not yet reached the end of my catalogue of shadows, but I soon
+tire of looking at the shady side. Shadow pre-supposes sunshine, and
+sunshine there is, clear, abundant, having cheer in it for the present
+and promise for the future&mdash;promise of harvests such as may make this
+year to be as the last and even more abundant.</p>

+<h2><a name="ANNIVERSARY_OF_CHINESE_MISSIONS" id="ANNIVERSARY_OF_CHINESE_MISSIONS"></a>ANNIVERSARY OF CHINESE MISSIONS.</h2>
+
+<p>Superintendent Dr. Pond is a modest man, and we, therefore, take the
+liberty of quoting from the <i>Congregationalist</i> a little sketch by our
+friend Dr. Holbrook, of the recent anniversary of the Chinese Mission as
+presenting a broad ray of sunshine over the "Shady Side," as given in
+Brother Pond's candid article above.</p>
+
+<div class="blockquot"><p>The Chinese Mission of the A.M.A. on the Pacific coast, under the
+superintendence of Rev. W.C. Pond, D.D., is very efficient and
+successful. Its thirteenth anniversary was held on Sunday evening,
+December 9, in the First Congregational Church in San Francisco, Prof.
+I.E. Dwinell presiding. The exercises by the Chinese converts
+indicated remarkable proficiency in the English language and in music,
+both in solos and choruses. Jee Gam, the first convert, and now
+employed by the courts as an interpreter, read an address on "The
+Congregational Association of Christian Chinese," of such merit in
+thought and language, that some doubted its originality, which,
+however, was vouched for by Dr. Pond. The writer sketched its origin
+in 1871 and the progress of the Association since, and said it had
+been the means of the conversion of more than 700 Chinese, and that it
+designs to send missionaries to China. It is self-supporting, though
+the expenditures during the year have been $9,619.50, of which $2,066
+were for rent. Dr. Pond advocated the appointment of itinerant
+preachers to labor with the <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_52" id="Page_52"></a>[52]</span> Chinese in the moving camps on the
+railroads. Rev. Dr. Barrows made a very effective appeal for funds,
+and a collection was taken. Dr. Pond certainly deserves great credit
+for his labors in this department, in addition to the pastorate of
+Bethany Church in San Francisco, in which there are a large number of
+Chinese.</p></div>

+<h2><a name="THE_MOUNTAIN_GIRLS" id="THE_MOUNTAIN_GIRLS"></a>THE MOUNTAIN GIRLS.</h2>
+
+<p>But why the <i>girls</i>? Because the girls are immortal as well as the boys.
+Because the girls in their education have been neglected far more than
+the boys. Because the <i>girls</i> are to be the <i>mothers</i> of the next
+generation.</p>
+
+<p>That they are immortal, and capable of becoming and doing much in this
+life would seem to be doubted even by their parents. The neglect of the
+girls in their physical, mental, moral, and religious education, is
+enough to draw pity even from the most stupid Christian.</p>
+
+<p>Hundreds are put into field work from spring till autumn. They follow
+the mule and "bull tongue." They wield the heavy hoe, sprouting newly
+cleared land. They look after cattle on the ranges and the mountain
+swine, and if these are needed for meat, kill and dress them as a man
+would do. Said a woman the other day, "I wish I had as many dollars as I
+have alone <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_53" id="Page_53"></a>[53]</span> killed and dressed hogs." With parents the <i>boy</i> means a
+"heap" more than the <i>girl</i>. A boy can shoot deer and coon, fox and
+rabbit, can build cabins, can keep school, and "seems" be a doctor or go
+to Congress. With this impression, if anybody is clothed and sent to
+school, it is the <i>boy</i>, while as a rule, the girl is poorly clad and
+stays at home to do the boy's work, to make "craps," and grow up in
+ignorance. If in berry time they can get a few dimes to buy a calico
+dress and a pair of shoes, contentment settles over their faces.
+Aspirations for anything better they have not, for an avenue leading to
+a more hopeful life they have never dreamed of. To look into the future
+there is nothing sunny or bright. Illiterate, they marry young some poor
+fellow, and with no money they begin life, build their cabin home in the
+timber land, girdle a few acres of the stately trees of oak and
+chestnut, and there raise a family to take the same dark and gloomy view
+of life the parents have had.</p>
+
+<p>Must this condition of things continue, among a people, too, who are all
+native born Americans, who have fair native abilities to become a power
+for good if trained in Christian schools?</p>
+
+<p><i>Is it not time a special</i> effort be made for these <i>girls</i>? They are
+growing older. They will soon be the mothers of a new generation. With
+illiterate mothers what will that generation be? Just what the present
+generation now is. What will it be if these girls now growing up are
+brought into a school like ours at Pleasant Hill? Here, if there can be
+sufficient room and ample teaching force, they will be taught and
+trained in a practical knowledge of all the duties of life, especially
+in those of the household. If we educate and save the <i>girls</i> we are
+using the very lever needed to lift these hopeless and neglected
+thousands living at our very doors, out of their degraded life and bring
+them into the light of the 19th century, and qualify them to take
+positions among the best women of the land.</p>
+
+<p>The work for which I plead is full of encouragement and hope. It is not
+in Africa. It is within one or two days' ride of the largest and most
+wealthy churches of our country, those who love the Kingdom of Christ
+and have sent, and are still sending, their thousands of dollars to the
+ends of the earth, while these bright American girls are, by some
+strange oversight, neglected at our very doors.</p>
+
+<p>The American Missionary Association has undertaken a noble work among
+them, and something has been accomplished, yet this good work has but
+just begun. The grey dawn has only cast a few signs of daylight over the
+mountains. To carry this work forward successfully in behalf of the
+neglected girls, there should be, in a great natural center of
+operations like Pleasant Hill, a spacious boarding hall with an
+industrial department and home, for those girls. It should not be
+stinted in size, but large, well-arranged, and well-equipped in all its
+departments from the primary upwards, where they can be taught
+everything a girl ought to learn, not only in books and in a Christian
+life, but taught to sew, knit, <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_54" id="Page_54"></a>[54]</span> darn stockings, to make good bread, and
+keep house with order and neatness, and do everything needed to be done
+in a Christian home. If the <i>native girls</i> can come from their cabin
+homes into such an institution and be thus thoroughly trained, the axe
+is then laid at the very root of the tree of a squalid life of
+illiteracy, and a life of Christian culture and hope comes in its place,
+where Christian mothers throw angelic brightness over their households,
+and families of children are trained to act well their part in this
+great and growing nation. The institution I suggest, and for which I
+must plead, should not only be large enough to accommodate girls near at
+hand, but from other neighboring States who stand in need of such a home
+and training. It should be a Bethel for these immortal waifs, a house of
+bread, so well provided for as to take the poorest who cannot pay a cent
+of their own expenses. On this base it will be doing the greatest and
+grandest work possible for the two millions and a half who are scattered
+as lost sheep over the mountains of our own land.</p>

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

+1.E.8. You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that

+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+ the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+ you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is
+ owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+ has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+ Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments
+ must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+ prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+ returns. Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+ sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+ address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+ the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+ you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+ does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+ License. You must require such a user to return or
+ destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+ and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+ Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+ money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+ electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+ of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+ distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set

+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark. Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org. Email contact links and up to date contact
+information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official
+page at https://pglaf.org
+
+For additional contact information:
+ Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+ Chief Executive and Director
+ gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+
+
+OUR LIST OF GOOD SAMARITANS.
+
+This number of the MISSIONARY contains the annual list of our workers,
+who go down the Jericho road to care for those who have been wronged,
+the poor and ignorant, who need the Gospel. Our ministers and teachers
+are not like the priest and the Levite, who looked upon the poor man and
+then "passed by on the other side;" nor do they merely pity and utter
+words of sympathy. They take right hold and help. They "pour in the oil
+and the wine," and they build the _inns_--that is, the churches and
+schoolhouses where they instruct and help the needy ones till they can
+take care of themselves and help to take care of others--the most
+genuine kind of assistance.
+
+It must be remembered that this requires expenditure. The oil and the
+wine, the inn and the constant attendance, call for money. Our
+constituents, who furnish this, want the work done and well done, and
+they are willing to pay for it. But sometimes they need to be reminded
+of the cost. At our last Annual Meeting, the "two pence" which they had
+during the year put into our hands, counted in American money, amounted
+to $323,147.22; and they said: "Whatsoever thou spendest more, when I
+come again I will repay thee." We are very careful to watch the receipts
+and expenditures, and we find that for the three months since the Annual
+Meeting, we have received from all sources $66,958.43; whereas, the
+current expenditures for the three months require about $86,000. We give
+this timely notice that they who commit to us this work may remit to us
+what is needed.
+
+Let it be understood that the generous gift of that noble friend of the
+Negro race was not entrusted to us to do the work of the good Samaritans
+of the Churches. We are not permitted to use it for this. The yearly
+income of the Daniel Hand Fund is to do the work of Daniel Hand--no
+more. For this, God will reward him and generations will bless him, but
+he leaves the churches and individual Christians to carry on their own
+work as before and to reap the blessings of it. We cannot give the
+Daniel Hand Fund to the churches. We cannot expend it for the churches. It
+relieves no one of duty and privilege. It is limited also, to its use.
+The churches and the schools to which we are already committed call for
+a great increase in self-denial and benevolence.
+
+Pastors and members of the churches, the work is increasingly great. It
+enlarges itself. Other denominations are increasing their efforts to
+meet the pressing emergency. Let it not be said that our churches--the
+first in the field and the most efficient--are falling behind in the
+ranks. Let our banner be ever at the front. Let us do our work.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+
+AN EXPLICIT WARNING.
+
+One of our missionaries was recently at the North soliciting aid in
+sustaining his work. His appeal was repeatedly met by the response: "The
+Association is rich--it has just had a gift of more than a million of
+dollars." When he explained that only the interest can be used, and this
+for educational work only, the reply was: "This interest can be used in
+payment of appropriations already made for schools, thus releasing just
+so much for other purposes."
+
+Now this is exactly what _cannot_ be done. The Daniel Hand Fund is for
+_new_ work, and only in the industrial, primary and normal schools. It
+is a priceless boon in this department, for we can now make enlargements
+here which were greatly needed, but for which we had not the means; but
+no part of this Fund can be applied to meet appropriations for other
+portions of the work. If our constituents will not enable us to meet
+those other demands, we can only report a debt; the Daniel Hand Fund
+cannot help us. We are confident this needs only to be understood, for
+we cannot believe that the 457,584 members of our churches have any wish
+to shelter themselves behind Daniel Hand.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+
+PRIVILEGES OF LIFE MEMBERSHIP.
+
+The question is sometimes asked in letters we receive, What are the
+privileges of a Life Member in the A.M.A.? We answer:
+
+1. The privilege of voting at the Annual Meeting. Our amended
+constitution says: "Members of evangelical churches may be constituted
+members of this Association for life by the payment of $30 into its
+treasury, with the written declaration at the time or times of payment
+that the sum is to be applied to constitute a designated person a Life
+Member, and such membership shall begin sixty days after the payment
+shall have been completed."
+
+2. A Life Member is entitled to THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY and to the
+ANNUAL REPORT gratuitously, if desired.
+
+3. The highest privilege is that of being a _live_ member, doing all
+that he can to promote the interests of the Association and of the needy
+peoples for whom it labors.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+
+THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY.
+
+We have two objects in printing this magazine. First, to have it read,
+and, secondly, to have it paid for. The main purpose is the first, of
+course, for we wish to have it read if it is not paid for, yet we
+greatly prefer to have it both read and paid for. We believe that those
+who pay for it are most likely to read it, and for this reason we fear
+that this item will be seen only by those who do not need this reminder,
+but we draw the bow at a venture and tell our readers that the price of
+the magazine is 50 cents a year.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+We wish to inform the pastors and churches that we have just issued a
+new _Annual Leaflet_, brief and packed with facts, and suitable for
+distribution in the pews before collections are taken for the
+Association. We shall be glad to furnish a supply gratuitously whenever
+called for.
+
+Our Annual Report, also, is ready for distribution. Those who wish it
+will please send us a postal card requesting it.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+
+THE ROMAN CATHOLICS AND THE FREEDMEN.
+
+Soon after the war the Roman Catholics seemed to have made a strong
+effort to win the Freedmen to their faith, and many Protestants felt a
+good degree of apprehension that the splendors of the ceremonial and the
+absence of race distinction might captivate the Negro. But the effort
+was unsuccessful and appeared for a time to have been abandoned. It has
+often been said, however, that the Church of Rome never surrenders an
+undertaking; it may delay and wait for more auspicious times, but in the
+end it perseveres. There are some indications of the renewal of the zeal
+of the Papacy for the Negro. The article in another part of the
+magazine, entitled "The Colored Catholic Congress," is an evidence.
+
+One thing is certain. The Roman Catholic Church deserves praise for its
+disregard of the color-line. The rich and the poor, the white and the
+black, bow at the same altar, and one of the highest dignitaries of the
+church is not ashamed to stand side by side with the black man on a
+great public occasion. Protestants at the North and the South must not
+allow the Romanists to surpass them in this Christ-like position.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+We ask our friends to read Mr. Dodge's article about the school at

+NOTES FROM NEW ENGLAND.
+
+I have swapped horses--exchanged a Georgia mule for a New England
+thoroughbred--and hereafter the "Notes in the Saddle" will be written
+from this dignified seat. And what a change it is from the South to New
+England!
+
+Take a map and look it over. Put down in each State the illiteracy, and
+make the comparison. In this good Commonwealth of Massachusetts only
+seven-tenths of one per cent. of the native born white population are
+illiterate, while in Georgia twenty-three per cent. of the native
+whites, and in North Carolina thirty-two per cent. of the native whites,
+are illiterate.
+
+The South is pre-eminently the great missionary ground for our
+Congregational Churches; for Congregationalism means the school-house as
+truly as the church--and here in New England there is most enthusiastic
+sympathy with, and support of, the American Missionary Association in
+its great work in that section of our country committed to its care by
+the churches.
+
+They want the A.M.A. to take Congregationalism into the South, and
+whether it organize churches mostly of whites or mostly of blacks, New
+England demands that a Christian of any color be admitted into any
+church because he is a Christian. The feeling is intense here and
+growing more so.
+
+Congregationalism could have planted its churches all over the South
+before the war, but it would not strike hands with slavery; so, to-day
+the children of the Pilgrims demand that the A.M.A., in its growing
+work, shall stand true to the historic principles of the fathers, and
+not compromise Christian truth for any seeming temporary advantage.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+There is great interest in the work among the American Highlanders which
+the A.M.A. is pushing with such vigor. I spoke in a church near Boston
+recently, and, after the service, a young man, his eyes bright, his face
+flushed, hurried down the aisle and exclaimed, "I am a Kentuckian!" I
+had been telling some plain and rather painful truths concerning the
+people of Kentucky--the murders committed there; their lack of school
+privileges, etc. I thought this friend might question some of my
+statements, but I was delighted when he said: "I thank God that some one
+is ready to call attention to the terrible needs of my own State. I
+can't get people to believe me when I tell them of those needs. I was
+brought up on the edge of the mountains and know them well, and I do not
+believe there is any spot on earth more needy than that region of my own
+State." He accentuated his words by a generous gift to the Mountain Work
+of our Association.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+A good friend of the A.M.A. in Gorham, Me., put into my hands the letter
+of Edward Payson, in which he accepted the call of the Second Parish
+Church of Portland, requesting that it be sold and the proceeds go to
+the A.M.A. work. It is a most interesting historical document, of value
+to some one collecting historical literature. It was a generous gift,
+for this kind woman valued it highly.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+The President, S.D. Smith, of the "Smith Organ Company," of Boston is
+filling our schools with music, gladness and praise. He has sent three
+organs to as many schools, within a few months, at no cost whatever to
+the Association, giving these grand instruments and paying freight on
+them to the field!
+
+ * * * * *
+
+One message that comes from the work in North Carolina is of so much
+interest that it ought to have a place here. A teacher had been visiting
+her former field of labor, and she writes of this visit as follows:
+
+"One young man, who was but a small lad when I left there, came to shake
+hands with me and said, 'Do you remember how you talked to me right out
+there under that tree? I tried at first to get away from you, but you
+would not let me go till I promised you I would give myself to the Lord.
+I thought, "Now I must not lie to that woman," and I did what I promised
+right there, and I have kept serving him ever since.'"
+
+Such evidences of souls renewed is worth a life of even such
+self-sacrifice as this brave woman lives. Like testimony could be gathered
+of many of these A.M.A. missionaries.
+

+
+
+DEATH OF PROF. A. HATCH.
+
+We are called with sadness to chronicle the death of another of our
+noble Christian workers at the South. Prof. Azel Hatch, the Principal of
+our Normal School in Lexington, Ky., closed his earthly labors and
+entered his heavenly rest on the 31st of December, 1888. His illness
+began with a severe cold, but it was soon discovered that congestion of
+the brain had set in, and the end rapidly came.
+
+Prof. Hatch was born January 16, 1852, was educated at Oberlin College
+and at the Union Theological Seminary in New York. He entered the
+service of this Association in 1876, and has occupied honorable
+positions in the schools at Montgomery, Ala., Tougaloo, Miss., and in
+Lexington, Ky. In every post of duty, Mr. Hatch has shown himself to be
+a faithful, conscientious and Christian worker, shrinking from no duty,
+winning the confidence of the teachers and pupils, and showing adequate
+results from his efficient labors. Mr. Hatch was reserved in manner, but
+courteous and affable, and a man of spotless integrity and of entire
+consecration to the work of the Master. It is a grief to record the
+death of such faithful men, but it is a consolation to know that their
+work was done and well done. The Christian life is not measured by its
+length, but by the discharge of the duties allotted by the Heavenly
+Father.

+
+CONVENTION OF COLORED ROMAN CATHOLICS.
+
+"A National Convention of Colored Roman Catholics, composed of delegates
+from nearly all the colored Roman Catholic churches and societies in the
+country, began its sessions on the morning of January 1st, in the St.
+Augustine Colored Catholic Church in Washington. Every seat was occupied
+when Father Tolton, of Quincy, Ill., the only colored Catholic priest in
+the United States, began the celebration of solemn High Mass.
+Immediately in front of and beneath the pulpit sat his Eminence,
+Cardinal Gibbons, who delivered the sermon. He was clad in scarlet
+robes. At the conclusion of the sermon, the Cardinal welcomed the
+delegates in his own name, and in the name of the clergy and of the
+congregation. He said:
+
+"'This gathering will mark an era in the history of the colored people
+of the United States, for never before have colored Catholics of the
+country met in convention.' He suggested that the convention discuss the
+education of the children--the religious education necessary to the life
+of the Republic. _The universal level of the Catholic Church--its
+equality--was eloquently dilated upon, and attention was directed to the
+fact that a colored priest had celebrated mass in company with two white
+clergymen._"
+
+We quote the above from the _People's Advocate_, a paper published in
+Washington, D.C., by colored editors and in the interests of the colored
+people. In comments upon the above report, it adds:
+
+"The presence of a Negro priest of pure lineage, born a slave, ordained
+at Rome, Augustus Tolton--the property of Stephen Elliot, as the record
+stands in the Vatican--the appearance of Cardinal Gibbons in his
+official robes to sanction the meeting, his eloquent reference to the
+universality of the Church of Rome that 'knows neither North, South,
+East or West; that knows neither Jew nor Gentile, Greek, Barbarian nor
+Scythian,' may mislead the unwary as to the real object of the movement.
+Its real purpose is to propagate the Roman Catholic faith among the
+colored people. So far as this meeting will secure from white
+Protestants a greater interest in, and a more Christian recognition of,
+the Negro as an equal participant in the Gospel plan, we regard it as
+Providential. We are not ready to concede that the Roman Catholic Church
+has been the friend of freedom, of education, of human rights and of
+progress. We do not see that anything is gained by claiming for Roman
+Catholicism to-day, or in the past, what is clearly not so. But the
+Roman Catholic Church has placed itself squarely on the doctrine of the
+Gospel as taught by Christ upon the question of universal brotherhood.
+Prejudiced as many may be by long years of training against the tenets
+of this church, all must acknowledge that this practice of the Romanists
+as manifested in the presence of a black man on terms of perfect
+equality, officiating at the altar of St. Augustine's Church, assisted
+on his right and left by white priests, in the presence of his Eminence
+Cardinal Gibbons, will be put in striking contrast with that of the
+white American Protestant churches who are willing on every occasion to
+sacrifice the Negro to secure the co-operation of the South on other
+than Gospel terms."
+
+ * * * * *
+
+Rev. George W. Moore, of the Lincoln Memorial Congregational Church, at
+Washington, to whom we are indebted for a full account of the sessions
+of the Congress, comments upon it as follows:
+
+"Mr. D.A. Rudd, of Cincinnati, editor of the _American Catholic
+Tribune_, a colored Catholic paper, was chosen permanent Chairman. Upon
+assuming the office he spoke favorably of the attitude of the Catholic
+Church towards the Negro, saying especially: 'The Fatherhood of God and
+the brotherhood of man is taught and practised by the Catholic Church in
+no doubtful terms.' He advocated the starting of Catholic schools and
+the aiding of those already started. The following facts were presented
+by the Committee on Resolutions: There are twenty colored Roman Catholic
+churches in the country, each of which has a school annexed. There are
+sixty-five other colored Roman Catholic schools; eight colored Roman
+Catholic orphan asylums; and three reformatories. Five thousand colored
+children are taught in these schools, and three hundred children in the
+asylums. Seven colored students are preparing to become priests. The
+Pope from Rome cabled his greetings in response to a cable from the
+Congress, saying: 'The Sovereign Pontiff gladly and proudly blesses you
+with all his heart.' The influence, patronage and wealth of the Roman
+Catholic Church are all at the service of this movement, and if
+Protestants build up caste-churches in the South, the Romanists will
+not."

+
+
+AMONG THE TENNESSEE MOUNTAINS.
+
+BY EVANGELIST JAMES WHARTON.
+
+
+My visit to the people among the mountains was rather a departure from
+my usual work--that of preaching to the colored people. I have preached
+here about two weeks, the attendance being good, and the interest
+deepening as the meetings went on, until now we have more than a score
+who have professed to find Jesus precious to their souls.
+
+The condition of the natives in this vicinity is very sad. Their
+ignorance and pride coupled make it almost impossible to do anything for
+them. The rough roads over the rocks and mountains make it a dangerous
+undertaking for them to attend church in the evenings. Several of us
+started for a meeting among them on a recent Saturday afternoon, with
+rubbers, umbrellas and waterproofs, prepared for mud and rain. We
+crossed a rickety old wooden bridge that had been nearly washed away by
+the floods, and commenced to climb the mountain side by a road that was
+nearly as steep as a steeple and which wended around to nearly every
+point of the compass, ever going up, over ruts and rocks, roots and
+trunks of trees, now jumping across a ravine, and next climbing a fence.
+At last among the thickets and brush there were some signs of life, and
+we came to an opening among the trees where we saw a miserable-looking
+old shanty. The first thought was, can it be possible that human beings
+live in a shed like this? We drew near and saw two women sitting with
+their knees up to the open fire on the hearth. They looked much
+surprised to see us. We told them that we were going to hold a meeting
+at a house a little farther on; will they go? No, they don't care to go,
+expectorating the tobacco juice from their mouths into the fire at the
+same time. We replied, "You would better go; it may be you will never
+have a chance to hear an Englishman again;" to which we got a reply,
+"Hear a w-h-a-a-t?" Whether they knew what an Englishman was, or not, or
+even if they ever heard there was such a country as England I cannot
+say; but I understand there are thousands of these people who know
+nothing of the outside world, and many who were never five miles away
+from their own door-step in their life. With a patch of ground for corn,
+another for tobacco, with wood for the fire, they are as contented as
+the President; alas, too contented!
+
+We entered the cabin to which we were going by a door-way in which we
+must needs bend our heads very low to get inside. The first thing that
+struck us was the gloom and darkness. In each corner of the room was a
+bed, with a smaller one pushed underneath, and two sick people suffering
+from slow fever. It is no wonder, for eleven people occupied this one
+room, about twelve feet square. Need we wonder that misery and squalor
+are seen all around? An old soap box from the grocery formed a corner
+cupboard. Two old chairs which perhaps belonged to their
+great-grandmother, all frame and no seat, an empty box, and a bucket of
+water with a tin scoop, formed the whole furniture of the mountain cabin.
+Poor souls! I was told that I had done wonders when one day, during an
+address, I got them to smile! It was quite a treat to see a smile upon
+their faces. Joy seems to be outside their domain altogether, and the
+worst feature appears to be that they have no desire for anything
+different. If they get the idea that you think them low down and want to
+lift them up, they at once commence to stretch themselves up to their
+full height and stand upon their dignity. They will not fail to tell you
+plainly that you must not think they belong to the "know-nothing" class.
+They "know what is right and what is wrong, without you coming here."
+This is often said, even by those who live immoral lives. Pride of race
+is often affected towards the colored people. A colored man
+unfortunately had been drinking and was left at the depot. Some one
+stumbled against him, saying, "I did not know it was a man; I thought it
+was baggage." His companion spoke up and said, "It isn't a man; it's a
+nigger." Often their children are bright, cheery-looking children,
+well-behaved, unassuming and quiet. These poor mountain people might do
+well to take a few lessons from many of their despised, dusky neighbors.
+
+The whole work, in my little time among these people, has greatly
+touched my heart and drawn out my sympathies towards them.

+
+ITEMS FROM THE FIELD.
+
+
+Trinity School, Athens, Ala.:
+
+"During December there was a special religious interest in view of the
+meetings held by Rev. Mr. Wharton, your missionary evangelist. The
+meetings were well attended by our students and by the people. These
+meetings were greatly blessed to the quickening and upbuilding of
+Christians, and twelve persons professed conversion. All of our pupils
+except one, above the primary department, are professing Christians. Our
+student prayer meetings are exceedingly precious seasons to teachers and
+pupils. We have just organized a Young People's Society of Christian
+Endeavor which promises to be very helpful.
+
+"On account of these meetings we could not make our usual preparations
+for a Christmas concert and presents to the children. Accordingly, we
+invited them all to our parlors to a reception on Wednesday the 26th,
+and to our great surprise, there came a Christmas box on Tuesday, with
+presents for every one, greatly to the joy of the little ones, yes, and
+of the large ones also. After the distribution of the gifts, delightful
+music bubbled from every throat, and the universal testimony was, 'This
+is the best Christmas I ever spent.'"
+
+Straight University, New Orleans, La.:
+
+"We are having a glorious revival. Every night during the Week of Prayer
+there have been glad hearts. I think there is scarcely a boarding
+student who is not thoroughly aroused. Most are seeking the Saviour.
+Eighteen have found peace. Many day students, and others who are not
+students, have been much interested. One young man who has been a
+scoffer at all good things, came to the meetings, and soon came under
+the influence and asked us to pray for him. As I write in Stone Hall, I
+hear on all sides the sound of prayer and singing."
+
+The new church at Crossville, Tenn., was dedicated on Sunday, Dec. 30th.
+The new building is very tasteful and convenient, in a beautiful and
+central location. Six new members were received--all Northern people.
+The house was full both morning and evening. Much interest was shown.
+Rev. G.S. Pope preached in the morning and Rev. S.E. Lathrop in the
+evening.
+
+Sherwood Academy opened its new winter term with increasing numbers. The
+school is gaining favor with all classes and is doing an excellent work.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+"Habits and Manners," is the title of a neat little volume by Mrs. W.A.
+Armstrong, of Hampton, Va. It is made up of the lectures delivered by
+Mrs. Armstrong to the students of the Institution, and is a remarkably
+clear statement of the rules that should govern the habits and manners
+of ladies and gentlemen. These lectures, though originally addressed to
+colored students, are equally applicable to white people, for here, at
+least, color makes no difference. The book has many other items of
+interest, as for example, rules for cooking, recipes, etc.

+
+THE CHINESE.
+
+ * * * * *
+
+
+A GLIMPSE AT SHADY SIDE.
+
+REV. W.C. POND, D.D.
+
+Our friends will get a quite one-sided and mistaken view of our work
+among the Chinese, as of any other missionary work, if they have nothing
+but the sunny-side reports to read. It is a war that we are waging, and
+war is serious business. The varied fortune of the battle involves
+defeats, incidental and temporary, on the way to the final victory.
+Sometimes it is hope deferred.
+
+There are Chinese in whom we have come to be deeply interested, for whom
+we have long prayed, who have for years been among the most constant and
+most pleasing of our pupils, and for years have been convinced that an
+idol is nothing, but that the God of the Bible is the only true God, and
+the Christ of the Gospel the only true Saviour, who stop just there.
+Over and over again we ask about them, only to find them still _just
+there_. Not a step forward seems to have been taken, and meanwhile
+time--weeks that grow to months, and months that grow even to years--
+time that might be full of service, runs to waste. The heart gets sick
+with this hope deferred.
+
+Then there are cases of disappointment. Bright hopes have darkened
+almost to the blackness of very despair. A brother whose conversion,
+(_must_ I say _apparent_ conversion?) has seemed to be unusually clear;
+whose walk as a Christian seemed, while he was with us, to be well-nigh
+perfect; whose spirit was singularly humble, devout and Christly; who
+was growing rapidly in knowledge of the word, and could already preach
+the word with power, goes back to his home in China. Sore pressure is
+brought to bear upon him, and he pays some sort of homage at an idol's
+shrine. He feels forthwith condemned. He will not be a hypocrite, and
+therefore will no longer profess to be a Christian. Now that he has
+returned to California, he is ashamed, he says, to show himself among
+the brethren. He stands aloof; keeps out of sight, and thus takes the
+very path along which Judas hastened to his doom. In vain do we show him
+the better way of faith; in vain speak to him of Peter, or of the
+Father's welcome to the prodigal, and the delight we once had in him
+adds soreness to the heartache of our disappointed hope.
+
+These are not solitary cases. Yet we may thank God that they represent
+not the general rule, but the exceptions. The general rule is that of
+constancy and faithfulness, and these exceptions are such as occurred
+even in the Apostolic ministries: how much more to be expected in ours!
+Yet the pain they bring and the shadow they cast are none the less real
+and deep.
+
+Another element in shady side arises in a quite different quarter.
+"Coming events cast their shadows before," and these shadows just now
+obscure our sunny side. We resolve not to be worried about to-morrow,
+and yet we must not enter doors that open except we first count the
+cost. That coming event is a deficit that seems inevitable, unless we
+shut our ears to what sound like the calls of God. Our plan heretofore
+has been to listen to these calls and answer them if possible, believing
+that he who gives the commission will not fail to supply the means. Nor
+has this faith been put to shame. Yet, when the rules of arithmetic
+confront one at every summing of his probable resources and subtracting
+of his fixed expenditures, and the figures, like fleshless, bony
+fingers, point him to deficits and unpaid bills impending, then, even
+while faith maintains her hold, it cannot be denied that shadows cross
+our path. Our friends who have helped us hitherto must expect some
+urgent appeals before this fiscal year is ended. The utmost economy
+shall be practised. Each dollar shall be made to do full service, if
+care and watchfulness on our part can assure this, but the work must not
+be hindered. Souls are at stake, priceless and immortal.
+
+I have not yet reached the end of my catalogue of shadows, but I soon
+tire of looking at the shady side. Shadow pre-supposes sunshine, and
+sunshine there is, clear, abundant, having cheer in it for the present

+year to be as the last and even more abundant.

+
+ANNIVERSARY OF CHINESE MISSIONS.
+
+Superintendent Dr. Pond is a modest man, and we, therefore, take the
+liberty of quoting from the _Congregationalist_ a little sketch by our
+friend Dr. Holbrook, of the recent anniversary of the Chinese Mission as
+presenting a broad ray of sunshine over the "Shady Side," as given in
+Brother Pond's candid article above.
+
+ The Chinese Mission of the A.M.A. on the Pacific coast, under
+ the superintendence of Rev. W.C. Pond, D.D., is very efficient
+ and successful. Its thirteenth anniversary was held on Sunday
+ evening, December 9, in the First Congregational Church in San
+ Francisco, Prof. I.E. Dwinell presiding. The exercises by the
+ Chinese converts indicated remarkable proficiency in the English
+ language and in music, both in solos and choruses. Jee Gam, the
+ first convert, and now employed by the courts as an interpreter,
+ read an address on "The Congregational Association of Christian
+ Chinese," of such merit in thought and language, that some
+ doubted its originality, which, however, was vouched for by Dr.
+ Pond. The writer sketched its origin in 1871 and the progress of
+ the Association since, and said it had been the means of the
+ conversion of more than 700 Chinese, and that it designs to send
+ missionaries to China. It is self-supporting, though the
+ expenditures during the year have been $9,619.50, of which
+ $2,066 were for rent. Dr. Pond advocated the appointment of
+ itinerant preachers to labor with the Chinese in the moving
+ camps on the railroads. Rev. Dr. Barrows made a very effective
+ appeal for funds, and a collection was taken. Dr. Pond certainly
+ deserves great credit for his labors in this department, in
+ addition to the pastorate of Bethany Church in San Francisco, in
+ which there are a large number of Chinese.

+We would suggest to all ladles connected with the auxiliaries of State

+sent to us through the treasurers of the Union. Care, however, should be
+taken to designate the money as for the American Missionary Association,
+since _undesignated funds will not reach us_.

+
+
+THE MOUNTAIN GIRLS.
+
+But why the _girls_? Because the girls are immortal as well as the boys.
+Because the girls in their education have been neglected far more than
+the boys. Because the _girls_ are to be the _mothers_ of the next
+generation.
+
+That they are immortal, and capable of becoming and doing much in this
+life would seem to be doubted even by their parents. The neglect of the
+girls in their physical, mental, moral, and religious education, is
+enough to draw pity even from the most stupid Christian.
+
+Hundreds are put into field work from spring till autumn. They follow
+the mule and "bull tongue." They wield the heavy hoe, sprouting newly
+cleared land. They look after cattle on the ranges and the mountain
+swine, and if these are needed for meat, kill and dress them as a man
+would do. Said a woman the other day, "I wish I had as many dollars as I
+have alone killed and dressed hogs." With parents the _boy_ means a
+"heap" more than the _girl_. A boy can shoot deer and coon, fox and
+rabbit, can build cabins, can keep school, and "seems" be a doctor or go
+to Congress. With this impression, if anybody is clothed and sent to
+school, it is the _boy_, while as a rule, the girl is poorly clad and
+stays at home to do the boy's work, to make "craps," and grow up in
+ignorance. If in berry time they can get a few dimes to buy a calico
+dress and a pair of shoes, contentment settles over their faces.
+Aspirations for anything better they have not, for an avenue leading to
+a more hopeful life they have never dreamed of. To look into the future
+there is nothing sunny or bright. Illiterate, they marry young some poor
+fellow, and with no money they begin life, build their cabin home in the
+timber land, girdle a few acres of the stately trees of oak and
+chestnut, and there raise a family to take the same dark and gloomy view
+of life the parents have had.
+
+Must this condition of things continue, among a people, too, who are all
+native born Americans, who have fair native abilities to become a power
+for good if trained in Christian schools?
+
+_Is it not time a special_ effort be made for these _girls_? They are
+growing older. They will soon be the mothers of a new generation. With
+illiterate mothers what will that generation be? Just what the present
+generation now is. What will it be if these girls now growing up are
+brought into a school like ours at Pleasant Hill? Here, if there can be
+sufficient room and ample teaching force, they will be taught and
+trained in a practical knowledge of all the duties of life, especially
+in those of the household. If we educate and save the _girls_ we are
+using the very lever needed to lift these hopeless and neglected
+thousands living at our very doors, out of their degraded life and bring
+them into the light of the 19th century, and qualify them to take
+positions among the best women of the land.
+
+The work for which I plead is full of encouragement and hope. It is not
+in Africa. It is within one or two days' ride of the largest and most
+wealthy churches of our country, those who love the Kingdom of Christ
+and have sent, and are still sending, their thousands of dollars to the
+ends of the earth, while these bright American girls are, by some
+strange oversight, neglected at our very doors.
+
+The American Missionary Association has undertaken a noble work among
+them, and something has been accomplished, yet this good work has but
+just begun. The grey dawn has only cast a few signs of daylight over the
+mountains. To carry this work forward successfully in behalf of the
+neglected girls, there should be, in a great natural center of
+operations like Pleasant Hill, a spacious boarding hall with an
+industrial department and home, for those girls. It should not be
+stinted in size, but large, well-arranged, and well-equipped in all its
+departments from the primary upwards, where they can be taught
+everything a girl ought to learn, not only in books and in a Christian
+life, but taught to sew, knit, darn stockings, to make good bread, and
+keep house with order and neatness, and do everything needed to be done
+in a Christian home. If the _native girls_ can come from their cabin
+homes into such an institution and be thus thoroughly trained, the axe
+is then laid at the very root of the tree of a squalid life of
+illiteracy, and a life of Christian culture and hope comes in its place,
+where Christian mothers throw angelic brightness over their households,
+and families of children are trained to act well their part in this
+great and growing nation. The institution I suggest, and for which I
+must plead, should not only be large enough to accommodate girls near at
+hand, but from other neighboring States who stand in need of such a home
+and training. It should be a Bethel for these immortal waifs, a house of
+bread, so well provided for as to take the poorest who cannot pay a cent
+of their own expenses. On this base it will be doing the greatest and
+grandest work possible for the two millions and a half who are scattered
+as lost sheep over the mountains of our own land.

+(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without
+permission and without paying copyright royalties. Special rules,
+set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to

+
+THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE
+PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
+distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at
+https://gutenberg.org/license).
+
+
+Section 1. General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A. By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement. If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B. "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See
+paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works. See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States. If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed. Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work. You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder. Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4. Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5. Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6. You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form. However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form. Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7. Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.8. You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+ the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+ you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is
+ owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+ has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+ Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments
+ must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+ prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+ returns. Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+ sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+ address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+ the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+ you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+ does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+ License. You must require such a user to return or
+ destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+ and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+ Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+ money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+ electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+ of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+ distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark. Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm

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

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

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