The Will should be attested by three +witnesses. + + * * * * * + + +THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY. + + +VOL. XLIII. FEBRUARY, 1889. No. 2. + + +American Missionary Association. + + * * * * * + + +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. + + * * * * * + + +THE FIELD. + + +1888-1889. + +The following list presents the names and post-office addresses of those +who are employed in the Churches, Institutions and Schools aided by the +American Missionary Association. + + + +THE SOUTH. + + + +WASHINGTON, D.C. + + +THEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT, HOWARD UNIVERSITY. + + Rev.

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.

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. + + + * * * * * + + +BUREAU OF WOMAN'S WORK. + +MISS D.E.

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. + +B.

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.

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.

Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable +effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread +public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm +collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain +"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or +corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual +property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a +computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by +your equipment. + +1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right +of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project +Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project +Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all +liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal +fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT +LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE +PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE +TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE +LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR +INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH +DAMAGE. + +1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a +defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can +receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a +written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you +received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with +your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with +the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a +refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity +providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to +receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy +is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further +opportunities to fix the problem. + +1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth +in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER +WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO +WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE. + +1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied +warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. +If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the +law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be +interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by +the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any +provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions. + +1.F.6.

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +https://pglaf.org/fundraising. 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.

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.

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>—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.</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—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—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.</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—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> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<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—all of which are needed for +current work.</p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_34" id="Page_34"></a>[34]</span> +<h2><a name="NOTES_FROM_NEW_ENGLAND" id="NOTES_FROM_NEW_ENGLAND"></a>NOTES FROM NEW ENGLAND.</h2> + +<p>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!</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—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—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> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_36" id="Page_36"></a>[36]</span> +<h2><a name="THE_FIELD" id="THE_FIELD"></a>THE FIELD.</h2> + + +<h3>1888-1889.</h3> + +<p>The following list presents the names and post-office addresses of those +who are employed in the Churches, Institutions and Schools aided by the +American Missionary Association.</p> + + + +<h4>THE SOUTH.</h4> + + +<div class='center'> +<table class="field" border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" summary=""> +<tr><td colspan="2" align='center'><b>WASHINGTON, D.C.</b></td></tr> +<tr><td colspan="2" align='center'><br />THEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT, HOWARD UNIVERSITY.</td></tr> +<tr><td width="60%" align='left'>Rev.

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—the religious education necessary to the life +of the Republic. <i>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.</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—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 <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> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a name="AMONG_THE_TENNESSEE_MOUNTAINS" id="AMONG_THE_TENNESSEE_MOUNTAINS"></a>AMONG THE TENNESSEE MOUNTAINS.</h2> + +<h4>BY EVANGELIST JAMES WHARTON.</h4> + + +<p>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.</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> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_49" id="Page_49"></a>[49]</span> +<h2><a name="ITEMS_FROM_THE_FIELD" id="ITEMS_FROM_THE_FIELD"></a>ITEMS FROM THE FIELD.</h2> + + +<p>Trinity School, Athens, Ala.:</p> + +<p>"During December there was a special religious interest in view of the +meetings held by 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—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.</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—promise of harvests such as may make this +year to be as the last and even more abundant.</p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<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> + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> + +<h2><a name="BUREAU_OF_WOMANS_WORK" id="BUREAU_OF_WOMANS_WORK"></a>BUREAU OF WOMAN'S WORK.</h2> + +<h4>MISS D.E.

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> + +<div class="right">B.

The Will should be attested by three +witnesses. + + * * * * * + + +THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY. + + +VOL. XLIII. FEBRUARY, 1889. No. 2. + + +American Missionary Association. + + * * * * * + + +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. + + * * * * * + + +THE FIELD. + + +1888-1889. + +The following list presents the names and post-office addresses of those +who are employed in the Churches, Institutions and Schools aided by the +American Missionary Association. + + + +THE SOUTH. + + + +WASHINGTON, D.C. + + +THEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT, HOWARD UNIVERSITY. + + Rev.

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. + + + * * * * * + + +BUREAU OF WOMAN'S WORK. + +MISS D.E.

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. + +B.

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.

YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT +LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE +PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE +TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE +LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR +INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH +DAMAGE. + +1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a +defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can +receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a +written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you +received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with +your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with +the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a +refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity +providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to +receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy +is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further +opportunities to fix the problem. + +1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth +in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER +WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO +WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE. + +1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied +warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. +If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the +law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be +interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by +the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any +provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions. + +1.F.6.

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

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/16084.zip b/16084.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..317be43 --- /dev/null +++ b/16084.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.
