No. 6. + + + +American Missionary Association. + + * * * * * + + +FINANCIAL OUTLOOK. + + +_The Figures._ + +Our receipts for seven months to April 30th are, from donations, +$118,051.25, estates, $20,308.09, incomes, $4,829.21, tuition, etc., +$22,719.89, United States Government for Indians, $9,540.87; total, +$175,449.31. Our payments to April 30th are $203,777.45. Debt balance, +$28,328.14. + +_The Meaning of the Figures._ + +These figures mean a debt--growing at the rate of $4,000 a month. In +passing "through the dark valley and shadow of"--debt, we walk with a +goodly company. It is said that nearly every missionary society in +Christendom reports a deficit this year. A common cause must underlie so +broad a fact, and no one society deserves special censure. + +_How we get into Debt._ + +A missionary society cannot make its expenditures as a man provides for +his family--from day to day--but must lay out its plans for the year. +The missionaries, the teachers, the matrons and all employés must be +engaged for that length of time. The appropriation must be made on the +general expectation of receipts, with some allowance for added growth. +Every prosperous business firm plans for enlargement. Shall the Lord's +business only lack enterprise and growth? Must it move on a dead level, +or on a declining grade? The churches would not long endure that, and +the word of the Lord is: "Speak unto the children of Israel that they go +forward." + + +_How our Debts are to be Paid._ + +This cannot be done near the close of the year by dismissing the +ministers and shutting up the schools. These self-sacrificing workers +are dependent on their salaries, and the teachers, some of whom out of +their small pittance are helping to sustain an invalid mother or sister, +and in not a few cases are aiding needy students, and should not be +deprived of their wages. Repudiation of such debts is not the relief for +a missionary society. + +The only way, therefore, that we can see is, to throw ourselves upon the +benevolence of the churches, whose agents we are in doing their work, +and ask them to come to the rescue by increased donations. A little from +each will make it easy for all. + + * * * * * + + +VOICES FROM THE FIELD. + +We wish our friends to see as we see and hear as we hear from the field, +as to the need of enlargement and the difficulty of closing schools +prematurely, and hence we present some condensed facts as specimens. + +McINTOSH, GA.--One hundred and nineteen in a single room and with only + one teacher. No boarding department and scores must be turned away. + +FLORENCE, ALA.--In a rapidly growing city, school held in our church + building. Large numbers turned away for lack of room. + +JONESBORO, TENN.--No boarding place for either boys or girls. Boys live + in rough rooms in a barn, six in a small room. No more can possibly be + accommodated. + +GRAND VIEW, TENN.--Buildings crowded full; no place for any more, yet + pupils are trying to crowd in. + +PINE MOUNTAIN, TENN.--Situated in a region nearly a hundred miles long, + without a single school except the almost worthless district schools + for two or three months. + +WILLIAMSBURG, KY.--Crowded full of students; more than sixty in one room + large enough for only thirty. + +JELLICO, TENN.--Our church and school building will not hold either our + Sunday-school or those who attend the preaching services. Must be + enlarged or no growth can follow. + +ATHENS, TENN.--Growing town; nearly a thousand Northern people with no + church suited to their needs. Some Congregationalists need aid in + starting a church. + +FORT BERTHOLD, DAKOTA.--Rev. C.L. Hall writes: "We have not at Fort + Berthold the necessary buildings for our work. Our girls are in an old + Government building out of repair, and a little cottage 16x22, and our + boys and industrial teacher are crowded into the missionary's house, + and a little one-story annex 14x22. There is no room for a guest to + stay over night." + +CHINESE IN CALIFORNIA.--Dr. Pond, the Superintendent of our Chinese + Missions, makes a dollar go as far as any man in our service. He is + one of the most careful men in making ends meet. But he has been + caught in the cyclone and writes thus about the premature closing of + the schools: + +"Nothing seemed left for me to do but to notify the teachers that I +could pay all bills for May, but could promise nothing more. When I had +resolved to do this, the workers passed before me, one by one: most of +our teachers are dependent on this slender stipend for their daily +bread--teachers that had been in our service for many years, never +measuring their service by their pay, but working in season and out of +season, and most of the time rendering help not bargained for fully +equal to that which I could have required. The helpers also passed +before me. Jee Gam with his wife and five children; our brave, unselfish +Low Quong; our faithful, almost saintly Chin Toy, our earnest and +eloquent Yong Jin--all of whom have sacrificed their pecuniary interests +for service in the mission, and all of whom, if their income from +missionary work ceases, will be compelled at once to seek an income +elsewhere because of those dependent upon them. Then the schools passed +before me--closed and silent, most of them, the scholars scattered and +the momentum from many years of earnest, unremitting effort gradually +dying away." + + +_The Daniel Hand Fund._ + +It may be asked, Why not meet such pressing claims out of this Fund? We +answer, That Fund is doing its noble work in its chosen field, among the +colored people in the South, but cannot do all even in that; and it will +be observed that most of these calls come from the other portions of our +field, the mountains of the South, the Indians of the West, and the +Chinese on the Pacific coast. Our main dependence must ever be on the +churches. + + * * * * * + + +THE DIVIDING LINE BETWEEN THE TWO CENTURIES. + +The first century of the American Constitution has passed, and has been +grandly celebrated. We now stand on the dividing line, and enter upon +the Second Century with its unknown trials and triumphs. What these may +be, we may judge, perhaps, in part, if we turn to those of the past. +Among the many and serious objections made against the Constitution at +the outset, demanding protracted discussions, Compromises and +Amendments, none were graver or more far-reaching in their consequences +than those respecting State Rights and the recognition of Negro slavery. +The bottom difficulty in these was probably that of slavery, for, if it +had not introduced such radically different industries in the two +sections of the country, with their different interests, and habits of +thought and life, the question of State Rights might have slumbered in +quietude. But when slavery had to be defended, State Rights was the +bastion behind which the defence sheltered itself. Whether the +Compromise with slavery at the outset were the wise thing or not, it is +not worth while now to consider. We do not know what the consequences +would have been if the Compromise had not been made. We all know now, +only too sadly, the dreadful price that was at last paid for the +Compromise. + +But the war killed slavery and buried it beyond resurrection. Logically, +it also killed the State Rights doctrine. But we fear it "still lives" +in the heart of Jefferson Davis, and in the hearts of the many millions +who still revere him as the leader of the "lost cause." Its avowal is +still heard from Southern lips and in the Southern press. Will there be +any occasion for its revival into active life? We fear there will be. +Slavery has left behind it a ghost which no more than that of Banquo +will "down." Race prejudice is as unyielding in the Southern heart +to-day as was the purpose once to maintain slavery. Should that prejudice +persist in its inexorable demands, another contest may arise, in which +the enfranchised millions may be goaded to take part, and the North, as +in the case of slavery, may be involved in the dreadful struggle. At +what time in the coming hundred years of the Constitution this new +struggle may come, no one can predict. The crisis will not be averted by +merely deprecating it, and we know of no Compromise that can reach it. +The only possible relief that we can see is by educating the Negro, till +he shall rise to a position that will challenge the respect of his +fellow-citizens and secure to him his equal rights under the glorious +Constitution of the United States of America. + + * * * * * + + +REV. C.W. HIATT. + +The American Missionary Association has divided its Western Collecting +Field. The boundary separating the two parts is the western line of +Indiana. Dr. Roy, who has made so honorable record in the past, will +retain the western portion with his office still in Chicago. The eastern +portion will have its headquarters in Cleveland. Rev. C.W. Hiatt has +been invited to take this District Secretaryship, and we have now the +pleasure of announcing his acceptance. Mr. Hiatt is not unknown in his +district, having made his mark in his pastorate in Columbus, Ohio. We +ask the churches to give him a cordial welcome for his own sake as well +as that of the Association. + + * * * * * + + +PARAGRAPHS. + +The letter of Dr. Pond in this number was written in response to a +request from a Northern lady for hints in regard to the methods of +teaching the Chinese. Many besides this lady will find profit in reading +it. The article on "Church Building in a Day" cannot fail to interest. +We only wish we could add that church services were held in the building +on the following day, but of this we are ignorant. If any of our readers +are desirous of knowing what expedients our missionaries among the +Indians have to resort to in administering the communion at their +out-stations, let them read "One Day's Missionary Work," by Rev. T.L. +Riggs. We give our readers also a problem in the letter from Miss Collins +at Fort Yates, "What shall we do about it?" + + * * * * * + +We have learned of the death of Mrs. Villa (Crumb) Borden at her home in +Norwich, N.Y. During her three years' service in the work of this +Association at Athens, Ala., she was untiring in efforts for the +improvement of her pupils. By her genial spirit, unselfish life and +faithful labor in school, church, Sunday-School and the community, she +greatly endeared herself to the people as well as to pupils and fellow +teachers, who sincerely mourn her departure. + + * * * * * + +A friend who reads the magazine and studies it minutely, sends us a +postal containing these encouraging words: + +"A stimulating fact appeared in the MISSIONARY for April just received. +The summary of receipts October 1st, to February 28th, shows nearly +$14,000 received for tuition in that time--more than one-sixth of the +donations." + +Our friends who are denying themselves, oftentimes, to aid in sustaining +our work, will be cheered to know that the funds they contribute are not +thrown into a slough and lost, but are touching mind and heart and +industry, and thus stimulating the people whom we benefit to help +themselves. + + * * * * * + +In making up the catalogue of Fisk University for this year, the +following facts are culled out: + +Total number of students, 505, which is a gain of thirty over last year, +and last year the attendance was the largest the University had ever +had. Number of students in the Department of Music, 110; a gain of +twenty over last year. Special students in Theology, 9; a gain of six +over the previous year. There has been a gain of eight in the College +Department, two in the Normal, and four in the College Preparatory. + + * * * * * + +Mr. Coffin graduated from Fisk University in 1885, and has held +important positions as a teacher ever since graduating. He has also +bought about $250 worth of books on one of the special courses of study +established by the Illinois Wesleyan University, and so successfully +complied with the requirements of the course that the result mentioned +in the letter below has been reached. + + ILLINOIS WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY, Bloomington, Ill. + + _Dear Sir._--Mr. A.O. Coffin has just been here for his final + examination for his Ph.D., and desires me to report to you his + performance. + + This last work closes a series of about six examinations upon + some thirty papers, requiring from three to five hours' writing + on each. The examination held here was oral, before a committee + of three of our faculty, and lasted nearly three hours. Mr. + Coffin was probed on all sides with everything that had a + bearing on his course (Biology), both as to technical and + general matters, and slipped but twice in the whole ordeal. Our + professors report to me that his previous written work was of + the same high character. Of the forty or fifty men who have + taken this degree here, within the past fifteen years (all on + examination), Mr. Coffin easily stands among the half dozen who + have most distinguished themselves. We were much pleased with + the gentlemanliness and strength of character he displayed, and + no doubt have Fisk University to thank in large measure + therefor. Very Truly Yours, + + CHARLES M.

C.J. RYDER, DISTRICT SECRETARY. + +A trip to Ohio this month to attend the State Association and to +indoctrinate the new District Secretary into the esoteric mysteries of +the American Missionary Association was a delightful experience, and yet +one does not get out of New England by going to Ohio. The hills and +valleys, and clear mountain brooks are left behind, but New England +people are there as much as here. And what grand opportunities there are +in these interior States for growth in missionary enthusiasm and +benevolence! Congregationalism is taking Ohio. I remember when a boy in +the Buckeye State there were few churches of our order off the +"Reserve," or "New Connecticut," as the northern counties were called. +"Congregationalism was not adapted to those conditions," we learned in +our unwritten, uncongregational catechism. But since 1860 it has been +discovered that Congregationalism is fitted for any conditions where +Christians are seeking the advancement of our Lord's kingdom, and there +are souls outside of that kingdom. So Congregationalism has grown in all +sections of Ohio. + +The beautiful city of Mt. Vernon opened her homes and hearts in large +and generous hospitality. The American Missionary Association received +an especially cordial welcome, because many remember the golden days +when the senior Secretary of the Association was pastor of this Mt. +Vernon church. It was he they wanted to present the work of the +Association in his old pulpit, but a younger man went because he was +younger. + +The new District Secretary of the American Missionary Association, Rev. +C.W. Hiatt, was welcomed enthusiastically, and his record merits such a +welcome. The office of this district will be in Cleveland, Ohio, and its +territory includes Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Western Pennsylvania and +Western New York--a large field for one laborer to till successfully! +Take this New England district: there are eleven hundred and forty-five +churches in it, and only one Secretary to reach them all! Were it not +that the pastors and many of the lay members were ready to give their +cordial and hearty assistance, and for the occasional, earnest help of a +missionary, it would be impossible even "to shuffle round in it." But +there is this hearty assistance and it constantly increases in +heartiness. + + * * * * * + +Rev. B. Dodge of Pleasant Hill, Tenn., a faithful worker in that +mountain region, has returned with a glad and thankful heart to his +field of labor. His appeal published in the February magazine, and his +indefatigable personal labors with individuals, were crowned with +success, and he rejoiced in sufficient receipts to warrant the erection +of the "Girls' Dormitory" for the mountain girls. The help rendered was +most generous and timely. But this new building, as imperative as its +need is, _increases the annual expense of the work._ Larger +contributions are necessary in order to carry on this work in its larger +quarters. Prosperity involves expense. + +One of the true friends of Missions has hit upon a plan for gaining +information that is worthy wider adoption than in her own church. She +has organized a club of those who desire to read the magazines of the +various Congregational Societies. This plan puts the magazine of each +society into the hands of a large circle of readers, and the expense to +each is very small. Are there any other clubs of this kind? Cannot one +be organized in each church? + + * * * * * + +Few books would be of more real and lasting value in the libraries of +our schools than "The Deathless Book," by Rev. David O. Mears, D.D. Dr. +S.E. Smith says of it:--"It contains more items of knowledge in many a +field than are often brought together, and all legitimately associated +with the precious Book of Divine Revelation." A pledge has been given +for a part payment in the purchase of one hundred volumes of this book, +to be paid when the whole is pledged. It would be a great addition to +our school libraries if this book were put into them. The publishers +offer special rates. Will not some one make a special gift to complete +this fund? + + * * * * * + +A letter just received from Corpus Christi brings the glad news of a +deep and far-reaching revival in progress there. Many have been +hopefully converted and the interest still continues. + + * * * * * + + +FREDERICK DOUGLASS. + +Few colored men in the United States have occupied a more prominent +position than Frederick Douglass; and there are none whose opinions are +more worthy of respect. His address delivered at the celebration of the +Twenty-seventh Anniversary of the Emancipation of the Slaves in the +District of Columbia was thoughtful, well-expressed and emphatic in its +utterances. While we might not accord with every sentiment, we wish we +could publish the whole. We content ourselves with a few pointed +extracts. + + +THE IRREPRESSIBLE CONFLICT STILL IN PROGRESS. + +"From every view I have been able to take of the present situation in +relation to the colored people of the United States, I am forced to the +conclusion that the irrepressible conflict, of which we heard so much +before the War of the Rebellion and during the war, is still in +progress. It is still the battle between two opposite civilizations--the +one created and sustained by slavery, and the other framed and fashioned +in the spirit of liberty and humanity, and this conflict will not be +ended until one or the other shall be completely adopted in every +section of our common country." + + +THE CONDITION OF THE PLANTATION NEGRO. + +"From my outlook, I am free to affirm that I see nothing for the Negro +of the South but a condition of absolute freedom or of absolute slavery. +I see no half-way place for him. One or the other of these conditions is +to solve the so called Negro-problem. Let it be remembered that the +labor of the Negro is his only capital. Take this from him and he dies +from starvation. The present mode of obtaining his labor in the South +gives the old master-class a complete mastery over him. The payment of +the Negro by orders on stores, where the storekeeper controls price, +quality and quantity, and is subject to no competition, so that the +Negro must buy there and nowhere else--an arrangement by which the Negro +never has a dollar to lay by, and can be kept in debt to his employer +year in and year out, puts him completely at the mercy of the old +master-class. He who could say to the Negro when a slave, you shall work +for me or be whipped to death, can now say to him with equal emphasis, +you shall work for me or I will starve you to death. This is the plain, +matter-of-fact and unexaggerated condition of the plantation Negro in +the Southern States to-day." + + +WHY THE NEGRO DOES NOT EMIGRATE? + +"I will tell you. He has not a cent of money to emigrate with, and if he +had, and desired to exercise that right, he would be arrested for debt, +for non-fulfillment of contract, or be shot down like a dog in his +tracks. When Southern Senators tell you that they want to be rid of the +negroes, and would be glad to have them all clear out, you know, and I +know, and they know, that they are speaking falsely, and simply with a +view to mislead the North. Only a few days ago, armed resistance was +made in North Carolina to colored emigration from that State, and the +first exodus to Kansas was arrested by the old master-class with +shotguns and Winchester rifles. The desire to get rid of the negro is a +hollow sham. His labor is wanted to-day in the South just as it was +wanted in the old times when he was hunted by two-legged and four-legged +bloodhounds." + + +NO FEARS OF THE FINAL RESULT. + +"In conclusion, while I have plainly portrayed the sources of danger to +our people, I have no fears as to the final result. The American people +are governed, not only by laws and selfish interests, but by large ideas +of moral and material civilization. The spirit of justice, liberty, and +fair play is abroad in the land. It is in the air. It animates men of +all stations, of all professions and callings, and can neither be +silenced nor extirpated. It has an agent in every bar of railroad iron, +a servant in every electric wire, a missionary in every traveler. It not +only tunnels the mountains, fills up the valleys, and sheds upon us the +light of science, but it will ultimately destroy the unnumbered wrongs +inherited by both races from the system of slavery and barbarism. In +this direction is the trend of the nation. States may lag, parties may +hesitate, leaders may halt, but to this complexion it must come at last. +States, parties and leaders must, and will in the end, adjust themselves +to this overwhelming and irresistible tendency. It will make parties, +and unmake parties, will make rulers, and unmake rulers, until it shall +become the fixed, universal, and irreversible law of the land. For fifty +years, it has made progress against all contradictions. It stemmed the +current of opposition in church and State. It has removed many +proscriptions. It has opened the gates of knowledge. It has abolished +slavery. It has saved the Union. It has reconstructed the government +upon a basis of justice and liberty, and it will see to it that the last +vestige of fraud and violence on the ballot box shall disappear, and +there shall be one country, one law, one liberty, for all the people of +the United States." + + * * * * * + + +THE SOUTH. + + + * * * * * + + +CHURCH BUILDING IN A DAY. + +Condensed from the _Southern Enterprise_ of April 18th. + +Saturday morning, the 13th instant, at nine o'clock, was the time +appointed for the laying of the corner stone of our first church edifice +in Deer Lodge, Tennessee. Rev. G.S. Pope--founder of the church, and now +General Missionary of the American Missionary Association for the +Cumberland Plateau, had been notified of the occasion, but not in time +to be present, and the duties were committed to Rev. Aaron Porter, the +present pastor. The early morning was a little cloudy, but before nine +o'clock the sun shone out, and the remainder of the day was as pleasant +as possible. + +The locality of the Church is on Ross Avenue between Knoxville Avenue +and Spring Street, where four beautiful lots were selected some time ago +by Rev. Mr. Pope and the building committee, and donated by Mr. A.L. +Ross. At the appointed hour, the citizens and neighbors collected around +the foundation, and occupied the piles of lumber as seats while they +listened to the interesting exercises. These consisted of singing, +reading of Scripture, an original hymn composed by the pastor, prayer, +address, enumeration of articles to be placed in corner stone, +depositing, cementing and closing the box, remarks, singing and +benediction. + +After a few moments of interchanging of views of the situation, and of +the good fellowship now prevailing in our pioneer community--all the men +present took hold, and soon raised the entire framework to its place; it +having been prepared previously by Mr. Hodge and his assistants in such +careful manner that every piece fitted to its proper place. The crowd +then retired to enjoy the good dinners some of the citizens had prepared +for them; after which they returned to the grounds, and before sundown +had the entire frame work enclosed with sheeting in diagonal style. In +addition, the frame of the tower was raised and encased. Saturday was a +day of pride to Deer Lodge, as probably the same amount of work has not +been accomplished in the same time on any other occasion in this +country. + + * * * * * + + +ITEMS FROM WHITLEY COUNTY. + +MRS. A.A. MYERS + +In giving a little report of the condition of Prof. Lawrence, and of +what has been done with the assassin who attempted his life in May last, +I think I will but be answering the unexpressed wish of many of the +readers of the MISSIONARY. Mr. Lawrence is far from well. We fear he +will never recover from the nervous strain and great suffering of the +past year. He has but little use of his right arm and hand. He is now at +Champaign, Ill., and has not been able to attend trial. As to the +assassin, he walks our streets and frequents our saloons at pleasure. He +is out on $1,000 bail; whiskey men on his bonds. Northern people need +not be surprised at such justice, when Haddock's murderers are running +at large; and here we have not only whiskey and its money against us, +but secret fraternities, Southern prejudice, and sectarian intolerance. +We have hardly dared hope for justice in these courts, but rely on the +truth of the motto we have put in our church on the wall near where one +of the bullets struck--"Vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the +Lord." + +One of our native preachers not far from here made this unanswerable +argument in a sermon on _apostacsy_. He said, "'_If_ they shall fall +away'--means that they _cannot_ fall away, for anybody that knows +anything about the English language, knows it is a verb in the +_impossible_ mode and _everlasting_ tense." + +Two ministers in Whitley County had called a public meeting to discuss +their peculiar doctrines. They became quite excited, and at the close of +the discussion, one of them prayed, "Oh God, make Elder So-and-so's +heart as soft as his head is." + +A good meeting means a big excitement as much among the white people as +among the colored. This little incident, which occurred in a service +among the hills of northern Alabama, was told us by an eye witness, and +goes to show the depth of Christ-like feeling (?) that prompts _some_, +at least, of the great happiness they express. An underwitted youth +seemed to get religion in one of these times of shouting and excitement. +He swung his arms and marched back and forth shouting with the rest. To +see him so happy made the others shout the more. Amid all the noise, no +one knew what he was saying till, all of a sudden, as often happens, +there was a lull; then, as he kept on he was understood, and these were +the words he was repeating over and over: "Run, chicken, with your head +pecked off, a'n't we having a good time?" + +It may not be uninteresting to hear how some of the bodily ills are +ministered to here in the mountains. + +If a person is subject to headache, he can be cured by cutting some of +his hair off and putting it in a stream of running water. + +In certain kinds of sickness, there must be the greatest care that none +of the covering on the bed be turned over. If it should be, the case +will terminate fatally. + +In fevers, I have known milk to be strictly forbidden, but ham and +biscuit recommended by the physician. + +Quite a number of people, and even those of whom you would expect better +things, employ "charm" doctors. They make passes and say over a lingo, +and it will cure cancers, toothache, or any other disease. I have never +heard what their magic words are. In fact, if a woman tells a woman, +they lose all their curative properties. But these are the words they +use to charm away the botts in horses. I think they ought to be given to +the public for the benefit of stock growers generally. Putting the +fingers on the animal's nose, they pass the hand along the head and +spine, repeating, "King Solomon plows with a golden plow. He plows deep +and he plows shallow, and he kills all the worms." + + * * * * * + + +TOUGALOO UNIVERSITY. + +The year thus far at Tougaloo University has been one of great success. +The enrollment, three hundred and thirty-five, has already surpassed +that of any previous full year, and many more have signified their +intention of attending next term, when a special Teacher's Training +Course is to be held. The necessity under which many labor, of teaching +school in order to pay their own school bills, makes attendance somewhat +irregular. The grade of the school is being steadily advanced, and under +efficient teachers and Principal, the pupils are making solid +advancement. The upward grading process will prevent the graduation of +any pupils from the normal department this year, but that is of slight +moment compared with the substantial gain of more thorough scholarship. + +The industrial work of the school has this year been more thoroughly +systematized and made more efficient than before. There has been special +improvement in the girls' industrial work. Even the younger pupils enter +into the sewing and cooking classes with zest. The boys' industries +include blacksmithing, carpentry, tinning, wagon making, painting, steam +sawing, turning, scroll sawing, and farm-work in its various branches, +the care of stock, etc. It would be difficult to estimate the value that +this combined school and industrial work is destined to have on the +Negroes of this State of Mississippi. Not in legislative enactments, but +in the gradual process of education along this line, will the main +problems connected with the Negro race be solved. + +The Biblical department of the school, recently established, designed to +train preachers, has as yet but one class, of three members. These are +making good progress, and they take turns in preaching at Clinton, at +the Mt. Hermon School, fourteen miles away. The training in this +department under the President, is especially directed towards knowledge +of the Bible and of human nature, earnest and practical preaching, and +the development in the preacher of sterling character. If preachers can +be sent forth who are well grounded in these things, much may be +expected of them. Says Dr. Haygood, "The hope of the black race lies +mainly in the pulpit." + +The most interesting feature of the work of this year has been the very +deep religious interest which began soon after the Week of Prayer and +which has not passed away. Special services were conducted for several +weeks by President Woodworth, and the feeling was strong and earnest. It +has been a quiet work, but it is believed that it is deep. Between fifty +and sixty expressed a determination to live the Christian life. One of +the most helpful features in the Christian work of the school is the +Covenant for Christian Service, a pledge somewhat similar to the +Christian Endeavor pledge, though there is no organization. Over one +hundred have signed this covenant within the past year. The school is +growing rapidly; its outlook is most hopeful. It is already cramped for +room. Every recitation room has been full, and many crowded, this term. +One class had to overflow into the chapel. Between thirty and forty +girls who wished to come were obliged to stay at home because the +Ladies' Boarding Hall has been crowded to its utmost capacity. A new one +is very greatly needed. + + * * * * * + + +WORK AT HAMPTON. + +REV. H.B. FRISSELL. + +You will be glad to know of the missionary work that the students are +doing in the community. Our graduates have started a Young Men's +Christian Association in the town of Hampton, hired rooms, chosen one of +their number secretary, paid a large part of the expense out of their +own pockets, have fitted up the rooms prettily and made an attractive, +pleasant place for the young men of the town. They have social, +literary, musical and religious gatherings there. A boys' club has been +started in connection with the Association. The colored pastors have +became interested in the work, and take turns in conducting the Sabbath +afternoon prayer meeting in the rooms. + +Our Holly Tree Inn, on the school grounds, is now in active operation. +It is under the direction of our school temperance society. Coffee and +rolls are furnished for five cents, with a pleasant room and open fire +in winter. The result has been that some of our students who used to be +tempted into saloons and doubtful places, find a comfortable, pleasant +room on the school grounds where they can get what they want. We +consider it a valuable object lesson, to the students, of what they can +do at their own homes. + +The work of the students in the Sunday-schools about is continually +increasing. The school at Slabtown, started by the students with twenty +scholars, had over a hundred last Sabbath. The school-room given by a +generous friend in New York is fairly ready to burst with its living +contents. During the week, teachers and normal school scholars go out +and teach the women and children how to sew. + +Another Sunday-school, at Little England, is conducted very largely by +our Indians under the direction of teachers. The Indian boys hold +services at the jail and furnish music for an afternoon service at the +Soldiers' Home. You would be interested to be here of a Sunday morning +and see the happy groups of missionaries going forth in every direction, +on foot, by boat, by wagon, to jail, to poor house, to the cottages of +the old and sick, carrying the good news. Every colored Sunday-school in +the neighborhood has a large number of its teachers from the Normal +school. We consider this missionary work of the students most important +in keeping up their interest in their own people, and in developing the +Christ-like spirit of work for others. + +Our school for Bible study, though cramped for room, is exerting an +important influence on this community. Almost all the colored pastors of +the place have received instruction in its classes. All the white +pastors of the place, with one exception, take part in the instruction +of their colored brethren. This school has sent out colporteurs under +the American Tract Society into the country about. With what knowledge +they have received here, they have been able to unite the office of +teacher and preacher in the country districts; they have earned their +way by the work of their hands and so secured a chance to preach. In +this way, they are able to stay in one community during the whole year. +One of these men went over to the eastern shore of Virginia last year; +worked on the railroad during the day, taught a night school in the +evening, got together a congregation, put up a comfortable church, +building it largely with his own hands, and came back to school in the +fall with money enough for his next year's expenses. One of the class +sailed last spring for Africa. + + * * * * * + + +DEVELOPING PATRIOTISM AMONG THE COLORED PEOPLE. + +REV. G.S. ROLLINS. + +The security of any nation rests largely upon the patriotism of its +people. America is in danger, not from foes without, but from within her +own borders. How to Americanize the foreign element, is the problem +which confronts the people of our great cities; a question which more +directly concerns the Northern portion of our country. + +Here in the South is a different case. We have eight million negroes-- +born Americans. The one all-absorbing question is, how to fit them for +citizenship--how to make patriotic citizens of them. + +Is patriotism in danger among the colored people? Yes, and mainly for +two reasons. + +First, because of their ignorance of our country; its history, +constitution and government. Some will think that this is a danger which +will soon pass away, as the older and more ignorant ones die. It is true +that the number of those who were advanced in years at the close of the +war is rapidly decreasing, but there is an astonishingly large number of +those who were young at that time and are now in the prime of life. They +are ignorant of our National history previous to the Civil War. What +they have learned since, has been politics rather than patriotism. They +look upon our nation as two great political parties, each struggling for +the mastery. One they regard as hostile, and the other friendly, to +them. This is the extent of their knowledge of United States history. +Although they have been told that we are a great nation under a +beneficent government, such a fact is difficult for them to comprehend, +since all they see is the by-play of party politicians. They know they +have a right to vote, but how can they respect a government that does +not always and everywhere protect them in the exercise of that right? + +A second reason why patriotism is in danger among the colored people: +They are not surrounded by that intensely national spirit which prevails +in other parts of our country. By this, I would not take one iota from +the loyalty and patriotism of the Southern people. The fact cannot be +denied, however, that one in the South hears and reads but little about +the United States of America. Much is written and said about the State, +but little genuine enthusiasm for the whole country is displayed. A +general spirit of distrust of the Federal Government is constantly +coming to the surface. Newspapers and men talk as if they were +constantly afraid the government would overstep its bounds and encroach +upon the rights of the States. The Southern press is ever complaining of +the sectionalism of the North. And when confronted with the necessity of +teaching United States History in the public schools, it rejects the +current school histories. It is not the present object to remark further +upon this than to call attention to the fact that there is a state of +public sentiment which is not productive of warm patriotism. Two years +ago, the writer, while attending an anniversary in a Northern city, +witnessed a scene that will not soon be forgotten. Fifty thousand people +were gathered on a public square, and at a given signal a beautiful new +flag was unfurled, and the band struck up "America." Fifty thousand +voices took up the tune. Men cheered until they were hoarse. One +gray-haired Irishman with tears shouted, "Thank God I live under the +American flag." Such scenes develop patriotism. They are rare in the +South. + +In the midst of indifference toward the national government, the colored +race is developing and multiplying, and that so rapidly that it is a +most important factor in the political affairs of the nation. Like +begets like. Indifference toward the government on the part of the +whites, breeds the same in the Negroes. + +Now, true patriotism is a positive power. A new generation of colored +people is growing up. Upon these rests the future of the race. These two +defects, lack of education and unpatriotic surroundings, will best be +remedied by the education of this new generation. + +United States History should be a prominent study, even in the primary +departments of our schools. The vast majority of the colored children +can remain in school only long enough to get a knowledge of the +elements, and among these should be American history. What if children +cannot pronounce the names of all the cities in Siberia? Teach them to +speak intelligently of Lexington, Bunker Hill and Yorktown. Hang the +walls of the school-room with pictures of great Americans. Let incidents +from their lives be used as illustrations of moral lessons. Explain the +principles and form of our government. Dwell upon the extent of its +domain and its vast resources. Define simply the privileges conferred, +and the duties imposed, upon the citizens of our government. Four things +should be taught them: the three Rs and American history. What is needed +among all our citizens, is a great lifting up where a broad view of our +great land can be had. Make the children feel that they dwell in a great +and goodly land, that they enjoy great privileges under its government, +and they will learn to love it. + +When Independence Day arrives, arrange for public gatherings of the +people, and in short addresses explain to them the meaning of the day. +Let it be a day of opportunity for instructing them in the history of +our country and in the duties of citizenship. These are some of the ways +in which the colored people may be aroused from their apathy and +indifference toward their country, and inspired with a patriotism, not +blind and spasmodic, but intelligent and permanent. + + * * * * * + + +A NEGRO GIRL'S PROSE POEM. + +In attendance at one of the ward schools of Indianapolis is a little +colored girl nine years old. She is miserable, indeed, for at home she +is ill treated, and the shoes she wears, and often the clothes, are +supplied by the teachers or some of her classmates. There is a tender, +poetic vein in her make-up, and it found vent in a composition. The +teacher took a little pansy plant to school one day and told the pupils +of the flower. Two days after, she asked them to write a story of it, +and gave them the privilege of having the pansy talk and tell the story, +and this is what the little colored girl wrote, the word pansy in the +copy being the only one dignified with a capital: + +"I am only a Pansy, my home is in a little brown house. I sleep in my +little brown house all winter, and I am now going to open my eyes and +look about. 'give me some rain sky, I want to look out of my window and +see what is going on,' I asked, so the sky gave me some water and I +began to clime to the window, at last I got up there and open my eyes, +oh what a wonderful world I seen when birds sang songs to me, and +grasshoppers kissed me, and dance with me, and creakets smiled at me, +and I had a pretty green dress. there was trees that grow over me and +the wind faned me. the sun smiled at me, and little children smelled me. +one bright morning me and the grasshoppers had a party he wood play with +me and a naughty boy pick me up and tore me up and I died and that was +the last of Pansy."-- + +_Exchange._ + + * * * * * + + +THE INDIANS. + + + * * * * * + + +ONE DAY'S MISSIONARY WORK. + +REV. T.L. RIGGS, OAHE, DAKOTA. + +Early in the winter, I had a pleasant day of work regarding which I want +to write you. It was the day appointed for the observance of the Lord's +Supper at the out-station about ten miles from home, and as the river +had not frozen over thoroughly, I thought it better to go down in the +saddle rather than drive the cart. This made it impossible for Mrs. +Riggs to accompany me as she sometimes does. + +I brought out my saddle camp-pouches (small square cases that strap to +the horn of the saddle) and emptied them of their camp furniture, and in +these were placed the bread and wine and also the service for the +communion. My pouches are so small that I could take but one glass and a +little china pitcher for our service. Usually I am able to take a china +plate as well, but this time there was no room. + +I went early in the day, and after some little difficulty the river was +safely crossed, though my poor horse, not being shod, fell upon the ice +more than once. He was not hurt, however, and I followed the river shore +down to the out-station which is on the west side of the river. + +I found the people gathered, and we had a morning session of nearly two +hours. It was rather a preparatory service, and I talked familiarly with +those present, individually as well as collectively. There were three +men and their wives who wished to be married. Seven applied for +admission to church membership, and there were also several infants to +be baptized. + +After dismissing the morning gathering, I arranged for communion +service. I had no plate, so I sent a boy to his home to get one. He +returned saying they had none, and I sent him to another house, from +which he returned saying he could not get in. Then I decided to use the +best I had, which was the card-board back broken from a hymn book. This +I covered with a napkin and it answered very nicely. I had not prepared +for any applications for baptism and had to send for a bowl, instead of +which a _tin cup_ was brought just as we were ready to begin service. + +After the opening of service, I first married the three couples, (one of +these consisted of an old man and woman nearly seventy years old, both +of them gray-headed). The applicants for Christian fellowship were asked +to give some public expression of their faith and were received into +membership and baptized together with the infants. We, also, at the +close of the service elected a deacon, who holds office for two years, +and then I talked to them regarding the duties of another year. When +dismissed, all went to their homes. I, too, went to a house near by and +drank some coffee, for by this time I was quite faint. After this I rode +home, reaching there just as the family were separating from the +tea-table. + +It seems odd to speak of men and their _wives_ coming to be married--it +is meant that they are husbands and wives _after the Dakota custom_. +When they come to understand Christian marriage, and especially if they +desire to unite with the church, they ask to have the marriage +solemnized in a Christian manner. Sometimes a man and woman who have +several children, perhaps a baby in arms, present themselves for +marriage. + +It is required of married candidates for admission to the church, that +they be married in a Christian way. This sometimes seems hard, as in a +case which has been before our Oahe church for some time. A woman of +fine character whom we believe to be a sincere Christian, desires to +unite with the church. Her husband, who is a veritable heathen, refuses +to marry her. He says he never has had another wife and does not intend +to take one, but he is a Dakota and does not wish to adopt white +people's ways. They have a large family of children, and the wife does +not feel that it is best to separate from her husband, though she really +desires to do her whole Christian duty. In such cases, this regulation +seems hard, but in the early days of the Dakota Mission, anything else +brought confusion and trouble into the church, and this method of action +was decided upon. + + * * * * * + + +WHAT SHALL WE DO ABOUT IT? + +MISS M.C. COLLINS, FORT YATES, DAK. + +There is a time in our work, if it progresses as we would like, when it +seems to go beyond us. The work here now is at that point. When I came +here the people were beggars. Their acquaintance with the Agency people +and the Army people had been such as to cause them to think that white +people were all wealthy, and that one had only to ask for a thing to +receive it. I have labored diligently to induce them to earn what they +have. It is very seldom now that any one begs, but I am over-run with +applications for work. Each individual is jealous of another, if I give +one work and refuse another. If I hire a woman to wash, I must hire +another to iron, another to bring in my wood, another to wash the floor +and still another to clean up my yard. If I hire a man to make some +repairs, I must hire another to cut wood, another to haul water or ice, +and so it is. This is very expensive, and yet I see no way to avoid it. +I cannot say to a man, "It is a disgrace to beg bread for your hungry +child," and then refuse to give him work. Now, let some of your wise +people in the East who are friends of the Indian try to remedy this +great difficulty. Let a part of the Indian money be spent in educating +the Indian in his home to work and to earn something. The church or the +Government ought to devise some plan by which Indians at their homes can +earn money. I do all I can, but the expense is more than I can bear. +There is no market for the Indian, and no work to be done by which he +can earn anything, and no man can become self-supporting until he is +provided with a way to support himself. What can we do about it? + + * * * * * + + +THE CHINESE. + + + * * * * * + + +METHOD OF CONDUCTING CHINESE SUNDAY-SCHOOLS. + +REV. W.C. POND, D.D. + +I have been requested to give in the columns of the MISSIONARY, some +hints as to the opening and conducting of Chinese Sunday-schools. I +wonder that I have waited for such a request, and did not long ago take +this good method of replying to letters of inquiry, which, attempting to +answer one by one, I have been obliged to respond to briefly, hurriedly, +and unsatisfactorily. + +1. First, "Catch your hare"--get the Chinese to come. This is less +difficult, I fancy, in our Eastern cities, than in those of California. +And yet, even there, it may require repeated and persistent invitations. +I would not despair even though the teachers came several times at the +hour appointed, and found that the expected pupils had broken their +promises and failed to appear. You will at length prove to them that you +are in earnest and have something for them worth their consideration. + +2. When they come, _do not undertake any opening exercises_, but as soon +as the first one appears, let the teaching begin. They are generally so +situated, that to exact strict punctuality, is to require the +impossible. Give them a reading lesson in whatever book they bring; or, +if they bring none, in any primer you may have at hand, Chinese who have +made no beginning in English, need to have each one his own teacher. +This may not be possible always, but it is very desirable. It is +exceedingly important that as much as possible be learned of English in +the first few lessons, in order to prepossess the pupils favorably and +get them interested in the school. Those who have already learned to +read can, of course, be put into Bible classes, but beginners ought to +be at liberty to take, each one his own pace, and get on as fast as +possible; and for this a teacher for each pupil is needed. + +3. From the beginning, let each class or each pupil have _one and the +same teacher_. This is of almost vital importance. The establishment of +a personal relationship and the development of a special personal +friendship, are almost indispensable, if we would lead such dark souls +into light. General exercises will not do this fast enough to meet the +emergency. It needs personal contact; careful "hand-picking." + +4. That which seems to me the best _text-book_ for Chinese schools is +"Jacobs' Reader." It was prepared originally for the deaf and dumb; and +thus suits well those who are to us--as we to them--virtually deaf and +dumb. Its object words are all represented in pictures. Its lessons are +so arranged that the advance involves a perpetual review, and thus +fastens in the memory what has been acquired. This is particularly +desirable in the case of the Chinese, because the methods of teaching in +China are so utterly diverse from ours. Teaching that turns back is in +no favor with the average Chinaman. He wants you to pronounce the words +and let him pronounce them after you as fast as possible. Go over it two +or three times, very much as if you were teaching a parrot to speak, and +then let him try himself. He is impatient of protracted explanations. +What he wants is _sounds_; the more of them the better. After he has got +the sounds, he will be willing to take the meaning they convey. One +beauty of this book is, that it conveys the meaning through the eye, and +keeps pupils reviewing without their knowing it. The teacher is in +danger of becoming impatient with this Chinese method, for we _know_ +that our way of teaching is better. But remember that the end you have +in view is not the most effective instruction in English, but the +leading of the soul to Christ; and you can be content with a poorer +method of doing the former, if thereby you can keep within reach that +lost, but blood-bought soul. Another good point in this little book is, +that there is just about enough in it concerning God and Christ to give +the teacher an occasional opportunity to preach Jesus, without +frightening the pupil away by too abrupt a "setting forth of strange +gods." And, finally, this one Reader well studied will place the pupil +where you can safely commend to him the New Testament as the cheapest +and the best book to take next. + +5. Instead of opening exercises have _closing ones_, as extended and as +interesting as possible. Have pictures selected from the Sunday-school +rolls, and, at each session, make one of these the subject of a little +gospel-talk. Ask the pupil best versed in English to be your +interpreter, and use such English as he can understand. And, even though +you have no interpreter, five minutes given to a Bible story will not be +lost, if you have a picture that is apt and suggestive. + +Then _sing_ the gospel to them, asking them to _read_ the verse after +you, word by word, and then sing it with you. I will gladly supply, at +bare cost, Song Rolls in Chinese, containing familiar gospel hymns +translated into Chinese and so conformed in metre to the English +original that the time remains unchanged, and the teachers can sing the +English words, if desirable, while the Chinese use their own. There is +no more effective preaching of the gospel than that in song. + +6. The Sunday-school, at its best, needs to be supplemented by some sort +of week-day work. The Chinese Sunday-schools of California, though +started _with great éclat_, would long ago have perished utterly, but +for the mission schools whose work knows no cessation. Our Christian +Chinese are now so widely scattered that it seems as though there could +scarcely be anywhere Eastward a city of considerable size without at +least one of them. If there is one, he will hear of your Sunday-school +and will be there. Utilize him to the utmost. Make a missionary out of +him. And it seems to me that the _evangelistic work_ which we have been +doing--imperfectly as yet--in California, ought to be extended to the +Eastern cities, and that among our Christian Chinese some ought to be +appointed to this work, spending (say) a month in each city where any +considerable number of Chinese are found, endeavoring to reap the +harvests that are ready, and to organize for Christian work whatever +converted Chinese he may find. Already, without any such special agency, +our "Congregational Association of Christian Chinese" reports one +"branch" with sixteen members, in Brooklyn. I am sure it would be well, +if the same thing, or something similar, were organized elsewhere. + +7. Finally, I must caution the American workers against too ready an +acceptance of pious talk on the part of their Chinese pupils as an +evidence of real piety. Grievous disappointments, involving reproach to +Christ and to all missionary work, sometimes grow out of this. Herein +consists, in part, the benefit which would attend the visits of reliable +Chinese evangelists. They would "take forth the precious from the vile" +(Jer. 15:19), and would give to the American workers not only much +greater results of their labors, but a surer confidence in such as they +have. + + * * * * * + + +BUREAU OF WOMAN'S WORK. + +MISS D.E.

For information in regard to morning session, see AMERICAN +MISSIONARY for April, or address Mrs. J.A. Biddle, South Norwalk, Conn. + + * * * * * + + +WOMAN'S MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION OF ALABAMA. + +BY MRS. H.S. DE FOREST. + +Mobile welcomed the Woman's Missionary Association of Alabama at its +twelfth annual meeting, March 31st. A well arranged programme, with +reports from the eight auxiliaries, filled with interest a three hours' +session. Necessarily much of the work in these local societies must be +for building up the church, helping toward the minister's salary and +caring for the destitute in the immediate vicinity; but it was most +encouraging to note that aside from this, work had been done for the +foreign field through the American Board and for the Home Missionary +Society, while several societies had contributed toward the support of a +teacher at Fort Berthold, Dakota, under the American Missionary +Association. Organizations were reported among the women, young women +and girls, with one society of King's Sons, who are interested in the +foreign field. The Penny Plan had been tried with much success by one +society of girls. This band has given during the year forty-five dollars +for foreign, home and local work. + +Interesting and practical papers were read upon "Africa and our duty to +it," "Systematic Work in our Local Societies," and "Prohibition: our +Relation to the Movement." + +Miss Emerson, providentially present, brought the greetings of the +American Missionary Association, cheering and encouraging all with her +helpful and inspiring words. Changes in the Constitution seeming +desirable, they were suggested and adopted at this meeting. The name is +changed from Woman's Missionary Association to Woman's Missionary Union, +thus bringing the society into line with similar organizations in +Northern States. + +Under the new wording, local societies may work for any branch of +missions, home or foreign, contributions being sent through the +established agencies of the Congregational churches. By thus broadening +the field, it is hoped that more and better work will be done, and that +an intelligent interest will be created in many branches of the Master's +work. + +The Union adjourned to meet in Marion, one year hence. + + * * * * * + + +FOR THE CHILDREN. + + + * * * * * + + +A LETTER FROM A TEACHER IN GEORGIA. + +DEAR CHILDREN: + +Would you not like to hear about some of the little black children in +our mission Sunday-school down here in the Southland? One of our +scholars, a certain ragged boy, was for many weeks among the missing. A +few Sundays later, one of the first arrivals was master James, but he +was so decently clad that I did not recognize him, and was obliged to +inquire his name. A blue jacket, much too large for him, and ornamented +with brass buttons, gave him a very distinguished air, but we soon +learned that clothes do not always make the man, for time has proven him +not as worthy as we thought. O, such a little scamp as he is! and yet so +full of good nature in his mischief, that it is not easy to scold him +for naughtiness. Living only across the lane, he runs in and out as much +as he pleases, and if one starts after him, he is often found just +outside on the step, peeping through a crack, and grinning at authority. +He is simply irrepressible, as a little incident will show you. One day, +as the Superintendent was speaking of the collection, a little boy said +he had no money. "_Aw!_ ye've got yer pocket _cram_ full," was the +comment of the boy with brass buttons. It was said for the benefit of +all present, and in no modest tone. + +You have not heard, I believe, about the three little boys I call "my +babies." They are yet in dresses, and as cunning as can be, very regular +in attendance. Harry, Eddie, and--well I must tell you about the other +name. Down here, many nick-names are used, such as son, bubba, or boysa +for the boys, and sister or missy for the little girls. When this little +fellow was asked his name, he very bashfully said, "Son." "But you have +some other name?" If he knew any other, he was afraid to speak, so I +asked whether anyone present knew his name. A little girl called out "He +is Son Anderson _Baby_ Boy," and now I always use the four words when +speaking to or of him. We are very good friends, but he has doubted my +sincerity since one time when I ventured to examine a small brown pipe +held tightly in his hand. It proved to be chocolate candy, and as he did +not choose to risk his treasure with me, he put down his little mouth, +and took in not only the candy, but my finger as well. He is quite shy +of me now, evidently fearing that some of his rights will be denied. + +Mordecai is an unruly specimen, and then there is Simeon, who never +fails to have an answer ready. His favorite one is, "Be humble, and ever +mindful of death." I suppose he learned it in the catechism, for he +rarely fails to give it when any question is asked concerning duty to +God or man. When we had the lesson about "The Sick of the Palsy," his +class were asked what they would do if they had a sick friend who was +unable to walk to a physician, and had no horse. "I'd get some mare and +tote him," was Simeon's original thought, and he did not know the story +either. It always seems as if I had just begun to write when time and +space warn me to stop, so now good-by. + +AN A.M.A. TEACHER. + + * * * * * + + +RECEIPTS FOR APRIL, 1889. + + +MAINE, $362.69. + +Augusta.

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.

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.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf. + + +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. 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://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + +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://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/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/16141-8.zip b/16141-8.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..506fec7 --- /dev/null +++ b/16141-8.zip diff --git a/16141-h.zip b/16141-h.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..6668d56 --- /dev/null +++ b/16141-h.zip diff --git a/16141-h/16141-h.htm b/16141-h/16141-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..a045046 --- /dev/null +++ b/16141-h/16141-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,3012 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" + "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> +<html> +<head> +<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" /> +<title>The Project Gutenberg eBook of The American Missionary, Volume 43, No. 6, June, 1889, by Various</title> + <style type="text/css"> +/*<![CDATA[ XML blockout */ +<!-- + p { margin-top: .75em; + text-align: justify; + margin-bottom: .75em; + } + h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 { + text-align: center; /* all headings centered */ + clear: both; + } + hr { width: 33%; + margin-top: 0em; + margin-bottom: 2em; + margin-left: auto; + margin-right: auto; + clear: both; + } + + hr.full {width: 100%;} + hr.fullpg {width: 100%; + margin-top: 0em; + margin-bottom: 0em; + margin-left: auto; + margin-right: auto; + clear: both; + } + hr.quarter {width: 25%;} + + body{margin-left: 15%; + margin-right: 15%; + line-height: 1.5 em; + } + + .blockquot{margin-left: 5%; margin-right: 10%;} + + .pagenum {position: absolute; left: 1%; right: 91%; font-size: 8pt;} + + + .center {text-align: center;} + .right {text-align: right;} + .smcap {font-variant: small-caps;} + + + .footnotes {border-top: dashed 1px;} + .footnote {margin-left: 15%; margin-right: 15%; font-size: .9em;} + .footnote .label {position: absolute; right: 80%;} + .fnanchor {vertical-align: top; font-size: .8em; text-decoration: none; line-height: 0.5em;} + + table.volume {margin-top: -1em; margin-bottom: 1em;} + table.receipts {width: 75%; } + table.field {width: 80%; } + + div.center table {margin: 0 auto; text-align: left;} + + .poem {margin-left:10%; margin-right:10%; text-align: left;} + .poem br {display: none;} + .poem .stanza {margin: 1em 0em 1em 0em;} + .poem span.i0 {display: block; margin-left: 0em;} + .poem span.i2 {display: block; margin-left: 2em;} + .poem span.i4 {display: block; margin-left: 4em;} + + ul li { padding-top: .7em ; } + ul li ul li { padding: 0; } + ul { list-style: none; } + pre {font-size: 8pt;} + // --> + /* XML end ]]>*/ + </style> +</head> +<body> +<h1>The Project Gutenberg eBook, The American Missionary, Volume 43, No. 6, +June, 1889, by Various</h1> +<pre> +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

Our payments to April 30th are $203,777.45. Debt balance, +$28,328.14.</p> + +<h4><i>The Meaning of the Figures.</i></h4> + +<p>These figures mean a debt—growing at the rate of $4,000 a month. In +passing "through the dark valley and shadow of"—debt, we walk with a +goodly company. It is said that nearly every missionary society in +Christendom reports a deficit this year. A common cause must underlie so +broad a fact, and no one society deserves special censure.</p> + +<h4><i>How we get into Debt.</i></h4> + +<p>A missionary society cannot make its expenditures as a man provides for +his family—from day to day—but must lay out its plans for the year. +The missionaries, the teachers, the matrons and all employés must be +engaged for that length of time. The appropriation must be made on the +general expectation of receipts, with some allowance for added growth. +Every prosperous business firm plans for enlargement. Shall the Lord's +business only lack enterprise and growth? Must it move on a dead level, +or on a declining grade? The churches would not long endure that, and +the word of the Lord is: "Speak unto the children of Israel that they go +forward."</p> + + +<h4><i>How our Debts are to be Paid.</i></h4> + +<p>This cannot be done near the close of the year by dismissing the +ministers and shutting up the schools. These self-sacrificing workers +are dependent on their salaries, and the teachers, some of whom out of +their small pittance are helping to sustain an invalid mother or sister, +and in not a few cases are <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_152" id="Page_152"></a>[152]</span>aiding needy students, and should not be +deprived of their wages. Repudiation of such debts is not the relief for +a missionary society.</p> + +<p>The only way, therefore, that we can see is, to throw ourselves upon the +benevolence of the churches, whose agents we are in doing their work, +and ask them to come to the rescue by increased donations. A little from +each will make it easy for all.</p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a name="VOICES_FROM_THE_FIELD" id="VOICES_FROM_THE_FIELD"></a>VOICES FROM THE FIELD.</h2> + +<p>We wish our friends to see as we see and hear as we hear from the field, +as to the need of enlargement and the difficulty of closing schools +prematurely, and hence we present some condensed facts as specimens.</p> + +<p>McINTOSH, GA.—One hundred and nineteen in a single room and with only +one teacher. No boarding department and scores must be turned away.</p> + +<p>FLORENCE, ALA.—In a rapidly growing city, school held in our church +building. Large numbers turned away for lack of room.</p> + +<p>JONESBORO, TENN.—No boarding place for either boys or girls. Boys live +in rough rooms in a barn, six in a small room. No more can possibly be +accommodated.</p> + +<p>GRAND VIEW, TENN.—Buildings crowded full; no place for any more, yet +pupils are trying to crowd in.</p> + +<p>PINE MOUNTAIN, TENN.—Situated in a region nearly a hundred miles long, +without a single school except the almost worthless district schools +for two or three months.</p> + +<p>WILLIAMSBURG, KY.—Crowded full of students; more than sixty in one room +large enough for only thirty.</p> + +<p>JELLICO, TENN.—Our church and school building will not hold either our +Sunday-school or those who attend the preaching services. Must be +enlarged or no growth can follow.</p> + +<p>ATHENS, TENN.—Growing town; nearly a thousand Northern people with no +church suited to their needs. Some Congregationalists need aid in +starting a church.</p> + +<p>FORT BERTHOLD, DAKOTA.—Rev. C.L. Hall writes: "We have not at Fort +Berthold the necessary buildings for our work. Our girls are in an old +Government building out of repair, and a little cottage 16x22, and our +boys and industrial teacher are crowded into the missionary's house, +and a little one-story annex 14x22. There is no room for a guest to +stay over night."</p> + +<p>CHINESE IN CALIFORNIA.—Dr. Pond, the Superintendent of our Chinese +Missions, makes a dollar go as far as any man in our service. He is +one of the most careful men in making ends meet. But he has been +caught in the cyclone and writes thus about the premature closing of +the schools:</p> + +<p>"Nothing seemed left for me to do but to notify the teachers that I +could pay all bills for May, but could promise nothing more. When I had +resolved <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_153" id="Page_153"></a>[153]</span>to do this, the workers passed before me, one by one: most of +our teachers are dependent on this slender stipend for their daily +bread—teachers that had been in our service for many years, never +measuring their service by their pay, but working in season and out of +season, and most of the time rendering help not bargained for fully +equal to that which I could have required. The helpers also passed +before me. Jee Gam with his wife and five children; our brave, unselfish +Low Quong; our faithful, almost saintly Chin Toy, our earnest and +eloquent Yong Jin—all of whom have sacrificed their pecuniary interests +for service in the mission, and all of whom, if their income from +missionary work ceases, will be compelled at once to seek an income +elsewhere because of those dependent upon them. Then the schools passed +before me—closed and silent, most of them, the scholars scattered and +the momentum from many years of earnest, unremitting effort gradually +dying away."</p> + + +<h4><i>The Daniel Hand Fund.</i></h4> + +<p>It may be asked, Why not meet such pressing claims out of this Fund? We +answer, That Fund is doing its noble work in its chosen field, among the +colored people in the South, but cannot do all even in that; and it will +be observed that most of these calls come from the other portions of our +field, the mountains of the South, the Indians of the West, and the +Chinese on the Pacific coast. Our main dependence must ever be on the +churches.</p> + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a name="THE_DIVIDING_LINE_BETWEEN_THE_TWO_CENTURIES" id="THE_DIVIDING_LINE_BETWEEN_THE_TWO_CENTURIES"></a>THE DIVIDING LINE BETWEEN THE TWO CENTURIES.</h2> + +<p>The first century of the American Constitution has passed, and has been +grandly celebrated. We now stand on the dividing line, and enter upon +the Second Century with its unknown trials and triumphs. What these may +be, we may judge, perhaps, in part, if we turn to those of the past. +Among the many and serious objections made against the Constitution at +the outset, demanding protracted discussions, Compromises and +Amendments, none were graver or more far-reaching in their consequences +than those respecting State Rights and the recognition of Negro slavery. +The bottom difficulty in these was probably that of slavery, for, if it +had not introduced such radically different industries in the two +sections of the country, with their different interests, and habits of +thought and life, the question of State Rights might have slumbered in +quietude. But when slavery had to be defended, State Rights was the +bastion behind which the defence sheltered itself. Whether the +Compromise with slavery at the outset were the wise thing or not, it is +not worth while now to consider. We do not know what the consequences +would have been if the Compromise had not been made. We all know now, +only too sadly, the dreadful price that was at last paid for the +Compromise.</p> + +<p>But the war killed slavery and buried it beyond resurrection. Logically, +it also killed the State Rights doctrine. But we fear it "still lives" +in the heart of Jefferson Davis, and in the hearts of the many millions +who still <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_154" id="Page_154"></a>[154]</span>revere him as the leader of the "lost cause." Its avowal is +still heard from Southern lips and in the Southern press. Will there be +any occasion for its revival into active life? We fear there will be. +Slavery has left behind it a ghost which no more than that of Banquo +will "down." Race prejudice is as unyielding in the Southern heart +to-day as was the purpose once to maintain slavery. Should that prejudice +persist in its inexorable demands, another contest may arise, in which +the enfranchised millions may be goaded to take part, and the North, as +in the case of slavery, may be involved in the dreadful struggle. At +what time in the coming hundred years of the Constitution this new +struggle may come, no one can predict. The crisis will not be averted by +merely deprecating it, and we know of no Compromise that can reach it. +The only possible relief that we can see is by educating the Negro, till +he shall rise to a position that will challenge the respect of his +fellow-citizens and secure to him his equal rights under the glorious +Constitution of the United States of America.</p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a name="REV_CW_HIATT" id="REV_CW_HIATT"></a>REV. C.W. HIATT.</h2> + +<p>The American Missionary Association has divided its Western Collecting +Field. The boundary separating the two parts is the western line of +Indiana. Dr. Roy, who has made so honorable record in the past, will +retain the western portion with his office still in Chicago. The eastern +portion will have its headquarters in Cleveland. Rev. C.W. Hiatt has +been invited to take this District Secretaryship, and we have now the +pleasure of announcing his acceptance. Mr. Hiatt is not unknown in his +district, having made his mark in his pastorate in Columbus, Ohio. We +ask the churches to give him a cordial welcome for his own sake as well +as that of the Association.</p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a name="PARAGRAPHS" id="PARAGRAPHS"></a>PARAGRAPHS.</h2> + +<p>The letter of Dr. Pond in this number was written in response to a +request from a Northern lady for hints in regard to the methods of +teaching the Chinese. Many besides this lady will find profit in reading +it. The article on "Church Building in a Day" cannot fail to interest. +We only wish we could add that church services were held in the building +on the following day, but of this we are ignorant. If any of our readers +are desirous of knowing what expedients our missionaries among the +Indians have to resort to in administering the communion at their +out-stations, let them read "One Day's Missionary Work," by Rev.

I remember when a boy in +the Buckeye State there were few churches of our order off the +"Reserve," or "New Connecticut," as the northern counties were called. +"Congregationalism was not adapted to those conditions," we learned in +our unwritten, uncongregational catechism. But since 1860 it has been +discovered that Congregationalism is fitted for any conditions where +Christians are seeking the advancement of our Lord's kingdom, and there +are souls outside of that kingdom. So Congregationalism has grown in all +sections of Ohio.</p> + +<p>The beautiful city of Mt. Vernon opened her homes and hearts in large +and generous hospitality. The American Missionary Association received +an especially cordial welcome, because many remember the golden days +when the senior Secretary of the Association was pastor of this Mt. +Vernon church. It was he they wanted to present the work of the +Association in his old pulpit, but a younger man went because he was +younger.</p> + +<p>The new District Secretary of the American Missionary Association, Rev. +C.W. Hiatt, was welcomed enthusiastically, and his record merits such a +welcome. The office of this district will be in Cleveland, Ohio, and its +territory includes Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Western Pennsylvania and +Western New York—a large field for one laborer to till successfully! +Take this New England district: there are eleven hundred and forty-five +churches in it, and only one Secretary to reach them all! Were it not +that the pastors and many of the lay members were ready to give their +cordial and hearty assistance, and for the occasional, earnest help of a +missionary, it would be impossible even "to shuffle round in it." But +there is this hearty assistance and it constantly increases in +heartiness.</p> + +<hr style="width: 45%;" /> + +<p>Rev. B.

His address delivered at the celebration of the +Twenty-seventh Anniversary of the Emancipation of the Slaves in the +District of Columbia was thoughtful, well-expressed and emphatic in its +utterances. While we might not accord with every sentiment, we wish we +could publish the whole. We content ourselves with a few pointed +extracts.</p> + + +<h4>THE IRREPRESSIBLE CONFLICT STILL IN PROGRESS.</h4> + +<p>"From every view I have been able to take of the present situation in +relation to the colored people of the United States, I am forced to the +conclusion that the irrepressible conflict, of which we heard so much +before the War of the Rebellion and during the war, is still in +progress. It is still the battle between two opposite civilizations—the +one created and sustained by slavery, and the other framed and fashioned +in the spirit of liberty and humanity, and this conflict will not be +ended until one or the other shall be completely adopted in every +section of our common country."</p> + + +<h4>THE CONDITION OF THE PLANTATION NEGRO.</h4> + +<p>"From my outlook, I am free to affirm that I see nothing for the Negro +of the South but a condition of absolute freedom or of absolute slavery. +I see <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_159" id="Page_159"></a>[159]</span>no half-way place for him. One or the other of these conditions is +to solve the so called Negro-problem. Let it be remembered that the +labor of the Negro is his only capital. Take this from him and he dies +from starvation. The present mode of obtaining his labor in the South +gives the old master-class a complete mastery over him. The payment of +the Negro by orders on stores, where the storekeeper controls price, +quality and quantity, and is subject to no competition, so that the +Negro must buy there and nowhere else—an arrangement by which the Negro +never has a dollar to lay by, and can be kept in debt to his employer +year in and year out, puts him completely at the mercy of the old +master-class. He who could say to the Negro when a slave, you shall work +for me or be whipped to death, can now say to him with equal emphasis, +you shall work for me or I will starve you to death. This is the plain, +matter-of-fact and unexaggerated condition of the plantation Negro in +the Southern States to-day."</p> + + +<h4>WHY THE NEGRO DOES NOT EMIGRATE?</h4> + +<p>"I will tell you. He has not a cent of money to emigrate with, and if he +had, and desired to exercise that right, he would be arrested for debt, +for non-fulfillment of contract, or be shot down like a dog in his +tracks. When Southern Senators tell you that they want to be rid of the +negroes, and would be glad to have them all clear out, you know, and I +know, and they know, that they are speaking falsely, and simply with a +view to mislead the North. Only a few days ago, armed resistance was +made in North Carolina to colored emigration from that State, and the +first exodus to Kansas was arrested by the old master-class with +shotguns and Winchester rifles. The desire to get rid of the negro is a +hollow sham. His labor is wanted to-day in the South just as it was +wanted in the old times when he was hunted by two-legged and four-legged +bloodhounds."</p> + + +<h4>NO FEARS OF THE FINAL RESULT.</h4> + +<p>"In conclusion, while I have plainly portrayed the sources of danger to +our people, I have no fears as to the final result. The American people +are governed, not only by laws and selfish interests, but by large ideas +of moral and material civilization. The spirit of justice, liberty, and +fair play is abroad in the land. It is in the air. It animates men of +all stations, of all professions and callings, and can neither be +silenced nor extirpated. It has an agent in every bar of railroad iron, +a servant in every electric wire, a missionary in every traveler. It not +only tunnels the mountains, fills up the valleys, and sheds upon us the +light of science, but it will ultimately destroy the unnumbered wrongs +inherited by both races from the system of slavery and barbarism. In +this direction is the trend of the nation. States may lag, parties may +hesitate, leaders may halt, but to this complexion it must come at last. +States, parties and leaders must, and will in the end, adjust themselves +to this overwhelming and irresistible tendency. <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_160" id="Page_160"></a>[160]</span>It will make parties, +and unmake parties, will make rulers, and unmake rulers, until it shall +become the fixed, universal, and irreversible law of the land. For fifty +years, it has made progress against all contradictions. It stemmed the +current of opposition in church and State. It has removed many +proscriptions. It has opened the gates of knowledge. It has abolished +slavery. It has saved the Union. It has reconstructed the government +upon a basis of justice and liberty, and it will see to it that the last +vestige of fraud and violence on the ballot box shall disappear, and +there shall be one country, one law, one liberty, for all the people of +the United States."</p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a name="THE_SOUTH" id="THE_SOUTH"></a>THE SOUTH.</h2> + + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a name="CHURCH_BUILDING_IN_A_DAY" id="CHURCH_BUILDING_IN_A_DAY"></a>CHURCH BUILDING IN A DAY.</h2> + +<h4>Condensed from the <i>Southern Enterprise</i> of April 18th.</h4> + +<p>Saturday morning, the 13th instant, at nine o'clock, was the time +appointed for the laying of the corner stone of our first church edifice +in Deer Lodge, Tennessee.

Northern people need +not be surprised at such justice, when Haddock's murderers are running +at large; and here we have not only whiskey and its money against us, +but secret fraternities, Southern prejudice, and sectarian intolerance. +We have hardly dared hope for justice in these courts, but rely on the +truth of the motto we have put in our church on the wall near where one +of the bullets struck—"Vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the +Lord."</p> + +<p>One of our native preachers not far from here made this unanswerable +argument in a sermon on <i>apostacsy</i>.

The necessity under which many labor, of teaching +school in order to pay their own school bills, makes attendance somewhat +irregular. The grade of the school is being steadily advanced, and under +efficient teachers and Principal, the pupils are making solid +advancement. The upward grading process will prevent the graduation of +any pupils from the normal department this year, but that is of slight +moment compared with the substantial gain of more thorough scholarship.</p> + +<p>The industrial work of the school has this year been more thoroughly +systematized and made more efficient than before. There has been special +improvement in the girls' industrial work. Even the younger pupils enter +into the sewing and cooking classes with zest. The boys' industries +include blacksmithing, carpentry, tinning, wagon making, painting, steam +sawing, turning, scroll sawing, and farm-work in its various branches, +the care of stock, etc. It would be difficult to estimate the value that +this combined school and industrial work is destined to have on the +Negroes of this State of Mississippi. Not in legislative enactments, but +in the gradual process of education along this line, will the main +problems connected with the Negro race be solved.</p> + +<p>The Biblical department of the school, recently established, designed to +train preachers, has as yet but one class, of three members. These are +making good progress, and they take turns in preaching at Clinton, at +the Mt. Hermon School, fourteen miles away.

Over one +hundred have signed this covenant within the past year. The school is +growing rapidly; its outlook is most hopeful. It is already cramped for +room. Every recitation room has been full, and many crowded, this term. +One class had to overflow into the chapel.

FRISSELL.</h4> + +<p>You will be glad to know of the missionary work that the students are +doing in the community. Our graduates have started a Young Men's +Christian Association in the town of Hampton, hired rooms, chosen one of +their number secretary, paid a large part of the expense out of their +own pockets, have fitted up the rooms prettily and made an attractive, +pleasant place for the young men of the town. They have social, +literary, musical and religious gatherings there. A boys' club has been +started in connection with the Association. The colored pastors have +became interested in the work, and take turns in conducting the Sabbath +afternoon prayer meeting in the rooms.</p> + +<p>Our Holly Tree Inn, on the school grounds, is now in active operation. +It is under the direction of our school temperance society. Coffee and +rolls are furnished for five cents, with a pleasant room and open fire +in winter. The result has been that some of our students who used to be +tempted into saloons and doubtful places, find a comfortable, pleasant +room on the school grounds where they can get what they want. We +consider it a valuable object lesson, to the students, of what they can +do at their own homes.</p> + +<p>The work of the students in the Sunday-schools about is continually +increasing. The school at Slabtown, started by the students with twenty +scholars, had over a hundred last Sabbath. The school-room given by a +generous friend in New York is fairly ready to burst with its living +contents. <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_164" id="Page_164"></a>[164]</span>During the week, teachers and normal school scholars go out +and teach the women and children how to sew.</p> + +<p>Another Sunday-school, at Little England, is conducted very largely by +our Indians under the direction of teachers. The Indian boys hold +services at the jail and furnish music for an afternoon service at the +Soldiers' Home. You would be interested to be here of a Sunday morning +and see the happy groups of missionaries going forth in every direction, +on foot, by boat, by wagon, to jail, to poor house, to the cottages of +the old and sick, carrying the good news. Every colored Sunday-school in +the neighborhood has a large number of its teachers from the Normal +school. We consider this missionary work of the students most important +in keeping up their interest in their own people, and in developing the +Christ-like spirit of work for others.</p> + +<p>Our school for Bible study, though cramped for room, is exerting an +important influence on this community. Almost all the colored pastors of +the place have received instruction in its classes. All the white +pastors of the place, with one exception, take part in the instruction +of their colored brethren. This school has sent out colporteurs under +the American Tract Society into the country about. With what knowledge +they have received here, they have been able to unite the office of +teacher and preacher in the country districts; they have earned their +way by the work of their hands and so secured a chance to preach. In +this way, they are able to stay in one community during the whole year. +One of these men went over to the eastern shore of Virginia last year; +worked on the railroad during the day, taught a night school in the +evening, got together a congregation, put up a comfortable church, +building it largely with his own hands, and came back to school in the +fall with money enough for his next year's expenses.

G.S. ROLLINS.</h4> + +<p>The security of any nation rests largely upon the patriotism of its +people. America is in danger, not from foes without, but from within her +own borders. How to Americanize the foreign element, is the problem +which confronts the people of our great cities; a question which more +directly concerns the Northern portion of our country.</p> + +<p>Here in the South is a different case. We have eight million negroes— +born Americans. The one all-absorbing question is, how to fit them for +citizenship—how to make patriotic citizens of them.</p> + +<p>Is patriotism in danger among the colored people? Yes, and mainly for +two reasons.</p> + +<p>First, because of their ignorance of our country; its history, +constitution and government. Some will think that this is a danger which +will soon pass away, as the older and more ignorant ones die. It is true +that the number <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_165" id="Page_165"></a>[165]</span>of those who were advanced in years at the close of the +war is rapidly decreasing, but there is an astonishingly large number of +those who were young at that time and are now in the prime of life. They +are ignorant of our National history previous to the Civil War. What +they have learned since, has been politics rather than patriotism. They +look upon our nation as two great political parties, each struggling for +the mastery. One they regard as hostile, and the other friendly, to +them. This is the extent of their knowledge of United States history. +Although they have been told that we are a great nation under a +beneficent government, such a fact is difficult for them to comprehend, +since all they see is the by-play of party politicians. They know they +have a right to vote, but how can they respect a government that does +not always and everywhere protect them in the exercise of that right?</p> + +<p>A second reason why patriotism is in danger among the colored people: +They are not surrounded by that intensely national spirit which prevails +in other parts of our country. By this, I would not take one iota from +the loyalty and patriotism of the Southern people. The fact cannot be +denied, however, that one in the South hears and reads but little about +the United States of America. Much is written and said about the State, +but little genuine enthusiasm for the whole country is displayed. A +general spirit of distrust of the Federal Government is constantly +coming to the surface. Newspapers and men talk as if they were +constantly afraid the government would overstep its bounds and encroach +upon the rights of the States. The Southern press is ever complaining of +the sectionalism of the North. And when confronted with the necessity of +teaching United States History in the public schools, it rejects the +current school histories. It is not the present object to remark further +upon this than to call attention to the fact that there is a state of +public sentiment which is not productive of warm patriotism. Two years +ago, the writer, while attending an anniversary in a Northern city, +witnessed a scene that will not soon be forgotten. Fifty thousand people +were gathered on a public square, and at a given signal a beautiful new +flag was unfurled, and the band struck up "America." Fifty thousand +voices took up the tune. Men cheered until they were hoarse. One +gray-haired Irishman with tears shouted, "Thank God I live under the +American flag." Such scenes develop patriotism. They are rare in the +South.</p> + +<p>In the midst of indifference toward the national government, the colored +race is developing and multiplying, and that so rapidly that it is a +most important factor in the political affairs of the nation. Like +begets like. Indifference toward the government on the part of the +whites, breeds the same in the Negroes.</p> + +<p>Now, true patriotism is a positive power. A new generation of colored +people is growing up. Upon these rests the future of the race. These two +defects, lack of education and unpatriotic surroundings, will best be +remedied by the education of this new generation.</p> + +<p>United States History should be a prominent study, even in the primary +<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_166" id="Page_166"></a>[166]</span>departments of our schools. The vast majority of the colored children +can remain in school only long enough to get a knowledge of the +elements, and among these should be American history. What if children +cannot pronounce the names of all the cities in Siberia? Teach them to +speak intelligently of Lexington, Bunker Hill and Yorktown. Hang the +walls of the school-room with pictures of great Americans. Let incidents +from their lives be used as illustrations of moral lessons. Explain the +principles and form of our government. Dwell upon the extent of its +domain and its vast resources. Define simply the privileges conferred, +and the duties imposed, upon the citizens of our government. Four things +should be taught them: the three Rs and American history. What is needed +among all our citizens, is a great lifting up where a broad view of our +great land can be had. Make the children feel that they dwell in a great +and goodly land, that they enjoy great privileges under its government, +and they will learn to love it.</p> + +<p>When Independence Day arrives, arrange for public gatherings of the +people, and in short addresses explain to them the meaning of the day. +Let it be a day of opportunity for instructing them in the history of +our country and in the duties of citizenship. These are some of the ways +in which the colored people may be aroused from their apathy and +indifference toward their country, and inspired with a patriotism, not +blind and spasmodic, but intelligent and permanent.</p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a name="A_NEGRO_GIRLS_PROSE_POEM" id="A_NEGRO_GIRLS_PROSE_POEM"></a>A NEGRO GIRL'S PROSE POEM.</h2> + +<p>In attendance at one of the ward schools of Indianapolis is a little +colored girl nine years old.

Seven applied for +admission to church membership, and there were also several infants to +be baptized.</p> + +<p>After dismissing the morning gathering, I arranged for communion +service. I had no plate, so I sent a boy to his home to get one. He +returned saying they had none, and I sent him to another house, from +which he returned saying he could not get in. Then I decided to use the +best I had, which was the card-board back broken from a hymn book. This +I covered with a napkin and it answered very nicely. I had not prepared +for any applications for baptism and had to send for a bowl, instead of +which a <i>tin cup</i> was brought just as we were ready to begin service.</p> + +<p>After the opening of service, I first married the three couples, (one of +these consisted of an old man and woman nearly seventy years old, both +of them gray-headed). The applicants for Christian fellowship were asked +to give some public expression of their faith and were received into +membership and baptized together with the infants. We, also, at the +close of the service elected a deacon, who holds office for two years, +and then I talked to them regarding the duties of another year. When +dismissed, all went to their homes. I, too, went to a house near by and +drank some coffee, for by this time I was quite faint. After this I rode +home, reaching there just as the family were separating from the +tea-table.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_168" id="Page_168"></a>[168]</span>It seems odd to speak of men and their <i>wives</i> coming to be married—it +is meant that they are husbands and wives <i>after the Dakota custom</i>. +When they come to understand Christian marriage, and especially if they +desire to unite with the church, they ask to have the marriage +solemnized in a Christian manner. Sometimes a man and woman who have +several children, perhaps a baby in arms, present themselves for +marriage.</p> + +<p>It is required of married candidates for admission to the church, that +they be married in a Christian way. This sometimes seems hard, as in a +case which has been before our Oahe church for some time. A woman of +fine character whom we believe to be a sincere Christian, desires to +unite with the church. Her husband, who is a veritable heathen, refuses +to marry her. He says he never has had another wife and does not intend +to take one, but he is a Dakota and does not wish to adopt white +people's ways. They have a large family of children, and the wife does +not feel that it is best to separate from her husband, though she really +desires to do her whole Christian duty. In such cases, this regulation +seems hard, but in the early days of the Dakota Mission, anything else +brought confusion and trouble into the church, and this method of action +was decided upon.</p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a name="WHAT_SHALL_WE_DO_ABOUT_IT" id="WHAT_SHALL_WE_DO_ABOUT_IT"></a>WHAT SHALL WE DO ABOUT IT?</h2> + +<h4>MISS M.C. COLLINS, FORT YATES, DAK.</h4> + +<p>There is a time in our work, if it progresses as we would like, when it +seems to go beyond us. The work here now is at that point. When I came +here the people were beggars. Their acquaintance with the Agency people +and the Army people had been such as to cause them to think that white +people were all wealthy, and that one had only to ask for a thing to +receive it. I have labored diligently to induce them to earn what they +have. It is very seldom now that any one begs, but I am over-run with +applications for work. Each individual is jealous of another, if I give +one work and refuse another. If I hire a woman to wash, I must hire +another to iron, another to bring in my wood, another to wash the floor +and still another to clean up my yard. If I hire a man to make some +repairs, I must hire another to cut wood, another to haul water or ice, +and so it is. This is very expensive, and yet I see no way to avoid it. +I cannot say to a man, "It is a disgrace to beg bread for your hungry +child," and then refuse to give him work. Now, let some of your wise +people in the East who are friends of the Indian try to remedy this +great difficulty. Let a part of the Indian money be spent in educating +the Indian in his home to work and to earn something. The church or the +Government ought to devise some plan by which Indians at their homes can +earn money. I do all I can, but the expense is more than I can bear. +There is no market for the Indian, and no work to be done by which he +can earn anything, and no man can become self-supporting until he is +provided with a way to support himself. What can we do about it?</p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_169" id="Page_169"></a>[169]</span></p> +<h2><a name="THE_CHINESE" id="THE_CHINESE"></a>THE CHINESE.</h2> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a name="METHOD_OF_CONDUCTING_CHINESE_SUNDAY-SCHOOLS" id="METHOD_OF_CONDUCTING_CHINESE_SUNDAY-SCHOOLS"></a>METHOD OF CONDUCTING CHINESE SUNDAY-SCHOOLS.</h2> + +<h4>REV. W.C. POND, D.D.</h4> + +<p>I have been requested to give in the columns of the MISSIONARY, some +hints as to the opening and conducting of Chinese Sunday-schools. I +wonder that I have waited for such a request, and did not long ago take +this good method of replying to letters of inquiry, which, attempting to +answer one by one, I have been obliged to respond to briefly, hurriedly, +and unsatisfactorily.</p> + +<p>1. First, "Catch your hare"—get the Chinese to come. This is less +difficult, I fancy, in our Eastern cities, than in those of California. +And yet, even there, it may require repeated and persistent invitations. +I would not despair even though the teachers came several times at the +hour appointed, and found that the expected pupils had broken their +promises and failed to appear. You will at length prove to them that you +are in earnest and have something for them worth their consideration.</p> + +<p>2. When they come, <i>do not undertake any opening exercises</i>, but as soon +as the first one appears, let the teaching begin. They are generally so +situated, that to exact strict punctuality, is to require the +impossible. Give them a reading lesson in whatever book they bring; or, +if they bring none, in any primer you may have at hand, Chinese who have +made no beginning in English, need to have each one his own teacher. +This may not be possible always, but it is very desirable. It is +exceedingly important that as much as possible be learned of English in +the first few lessons, in order to prepossess the pupils favorably and +get them interested in the school. Those who have already learned to +read can, of course, be put into Bible classes, but beginners ought to +be at liberty to take, each one his own pace, and get on as fast as +possible; and for this a teacher for each pupil is needed.</p> + +<p>3. From the beginning, let each class or each pupil have <i>one and the +same teacher</i>. This is of almost vital importance. The establishment of +a personal relationship and the development of a special personal +friendship, are almost indispensable, if we would lead such dark souls +into light. General exercises will not do this fast enough to meet the +emergency. It needs personal contact; careful "hand-picking."</p> + +<p>4. That which seems to me the best <i>text-book</i> for Chinese schools is +"Jacobs' Reader." It was prepared originally for the deaf and dumb; and +thus suits well those who are to us—as we to them—virtually deaf and +dumb. Its object words are all represented in pictures. Its lessons are +so arranged that the advance involves a perpetual review, and thus +fastens in the memory what has been acquired. This is particularly +desirable in the case of the Chinese, because the methods of teaching in +China are so utterly diverse from ours. Teaching that turns back is in +no favor with the average Chinaman. <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_170" id="Page_170"></a>[170]</span>He wants you to pronounce the words +and let him pronounce them after you as fast as possible. Go over it two +or three times, very much as if you were teaching a parrot to speak, and +then let him try himself. He is impatient of protracted explanations. +What he wants is <i>sounds</i>; the more of them the better. After he has got +the sounds, he will be willing to take the meaning they convey. One +beauty of this book is, that it conveys the meaning through the eye, and +keeps pupils reviewing without their knowing it. The teacher is in +danger of becoming impatient with this Chinese method, for we <i>know</i> +that our way of teaching is better. But remember that the end you have +in view is not the most effective instruction in English, but the +leading of the soul to Christ; and you can be content with a poorer +method of doing the former, if thereby you can keep within reach that +lost, but blood-bought soul. Another good point in this little book is, +that there is just about enough in it concerning God and Christ to give +the teacher an occasional opportunity to preach Jesus, without +frightening the pupil away by too abrupt a "setting forth of strange +gods." And, finally, this one Reader well studied will place the pupil +where you can safely commend to him the New Testament as the cheapest +and the best book to take next.</p> + +<p>5. Instead of opening exercises have <i>closing ones</i>, as extended and as +interesting as possible. Have pictures selected from the Sunday-school +rolls, and, at each session, make one of these the subject of a little +gospel-talk. Ask the pupil best versed in English to be your +interpreter, and use such English as he can understand. And, even though +you have no interpreter, five minutes given to a Bible story will not be +lost, if you have a picture that is apt and suggestive.</p> + +<p>Then <i>sing</i> the gospel to them, asking them to <i>read</i> the verse after +you, word by word, and then sing it with you. I will gladly supply, at +bare cost, Song Rolls in Chinese, containing familiar gospel hymns +translated into Chinese and so conformed in metre to the English +original that the time remains unchanged, and the teachers can sing the +English words, if desirable, while the Chinese use their own. There is +no more effective preaching of the gospel than that in song.</p> + +<p>6. The Sunday-school, at its best, needs to be supplemented by some sort +of week-day work. The Chinese Sunday-schools of California, though +started <i>with great éclat</i>, would long ago have perished utterly, but +for the mission schools whose work knows no cessation. Our Christian +Chinese are now so widely scattered that it seems as though there could +scarcely be anywhere Eastward a city of considerable size without at +least one of them. If there is one, he will hear of your Sunday-school +and will be there. Utilize him to the utmost. Make a missionary out of +him. And it seems to me that the <i>evangelistic work</i> which we have been +doing—imperfectly as yet—in California, ought to be extended to the +Eastern cities, and that among our Christian Chinese some ought to be +appointed to this work, spending (say) a month in each city where any +considerable number of Chinese are found, endeavoring <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_171" id="Page_171"></a>[171]</span>to reap the +harvests that are ready, and to organize for Christian work whatever +converted Chinese he may find. Already, without any such special agency, +our "Congregational Association of Christian Chinese" reports one +"branch" with sixteen members, in Brooklyn. I am sure it would be well, +if the same thing, or something similar, were organized elsewhere.</p> + +<p>7. Finally, I must caution the American workers against too ready an +acceptance of pious talk on the part of their Chinese pupils as an +evidence of real piety. Grievous disappointments, involving reproach to +Christ and to all missionary work, sometimes grow out of this. Herein +consists, in part, the benefit which would attend the visits of reliable +Chinese evangelists. They would "take forth the precious from the vile" +(Jer. 15:19), and would give to the American workers not only much +greater results of their labors, but a surer confidence in such as they +have.</p> + + + +<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.

A well arranged programme, with +reports from the eight auxiliaries, filled with interest a three hours' +session. Necessarily much of the work in these local societies must be +for building up the church, helping toward the minister's salary and +caring for the destitute in the immediate vicinity; but it was most +encouraging to note that aside from this, work had been done for the +foreign field through the American Board and for the Home Missionary +Society, while several societies had contributed toward the support of a +teacher at Fort Berthold, Dakota, under the American Missionary +Association. Organizations were reported among the women, young women +and girls, with one society of King's Sons, who are interested in the +foreign field. The Penny Plan had been tried with much success by one +society of girls. This band has given during the year forty-five dollars +for foreign, home and local work.</p> + +<p>Interesting and practical papers were read upon "Africa and our duty to +it," "Systematic Work in our Local Societies," and "Prohibition: our +Relation to the Movement."</p> + +<p>Miss Emerson, providentially present, brought the greetings of the +American Missionary Association, cheering and encouraging all with her +helpful and inspiring words.

One of our +scholars, a certain ragged boy, was for many weeks among the missing. A +few Sundays later, one of the first arrivals was master James, but he +was so decently clad that I did not recognize him, and was obliged to +inquire his name. A blue jacket, much too large for him, and ornamented +with brass buttons, gave him a very distinguished air, but we soon +learned that clothes do not always make the man, for time has proven him +not as worthy as we thought. O, such a little scamp as he is! and yet so +full of good nature in his mischief, that it is not easy to scold him +for naughtiness. Living only across the lane, he runs in and out as much +as he pleases, and if one starts after him, he is often found just +outside on the step, peeping through a crack, and grinning at authority. +He is simply irrepressible, as a little incident will show you. One day, +as the Superintendent was speaking of the collection, a little boy said +he had no money. "<i>Aw!</i> ye've got yer pocket <i>cram</i> full," was the +comment of the boy with brass buttons. It was said for the benefit of +all present, and in no modest tone.</p> + +<p>You have not heard, I believe, about the three little boys I call "my +babies." They are yet in dresses, and as cunning as can be, very regular +in attendance. Harry, Eddie, and—well I must tell you about the other +name. Down here, many nick-names are used, such as son, bubba, or boysa +for the boys, and sister or missy for the little girls. When this little +fellow was asked his name, he very bashfully said, "Son." "But you have +some other name?" If he knew any other, he was afraid to speak, so I +asked whether anyone present knew his name. A little girl called out "He +is Son Anderson <i>Baby</i> Boy," and now I always use the four words when +speaking to or of him. We are very good friends, but he has doubted my +sincerity since one time when I ventured to examine a small brown pipe +held tightly in his hand. It proved to be chocolate candy, and as he did +not choose to risk his treasure with me, he put down his little mouth, +and took in not only the candy, but my finger as well. He is quite shy +of me now, evidently fearing that some of his rights will be denied.</p> + +<p>Mordecai is an unruly specimen, and then there is Simeon, who never +fails to have an answer ready. His favorite one is, "Be humble, and ever +mindful of death." I suppose he learned it in the catechism, <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_174" id="Page_174"></a>[174]</span>for he +rarely fails to give it when any question is asked concerning duty to +God or man. When we had the lesson about "The Sick of the Palsy," his +class were asked what they would do if they had a sick friend who was +unable to walk to a physician, and had no horse. "I'd get some mare and +tote him," was Simeon's original thought, and he did not know the story +either. It always seems as if I had just begun to write when time and +space warn me to stop, so now good-by.</p> + +<div class="right">AN A.M.A. TEACHER.</div> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a name="RECEIPTS_FOR_APRIL_1889" id="RECEIPTS_FOR_APRIL_1889"></a>RECEIPTS FOR APRIL, 1889.</h2> + + +<div class='center'> +<table class="receipts" border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" summary=""><tr><td width="80%"> </td><td width="20%"> </td></tr> +<tr><td colspan="2" align='center'><b>MAINE, $362.69.</b></td></tr> +<tr><td align='left'>Augusta.

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 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.

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.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf. + + +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://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf + +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.

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. + +Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's +eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII, +compressed (zipped), HTML and others. + +Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over +the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed. +VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving +new filenames and etext numbers. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + +<a href="https://www.gutenberg.org">https://www.gutenberg.org</a> + +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. + +EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000, +are filed in directories based on their release date. If you want to +download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular +search system you may utilize the following addresses and just +download by the etext year. + +<a href="https://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext06/">https://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext06/</a> + + (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99, + 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90) + +EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are +filed in a different way.

No. 6. + + + +American Missionary Association. + + * * * * * + + +FINANCIAL OUTLOOK. + + +_The Figures._ + +Our receipts for seven months to April 30th are, from donations, +$118,051.25, estates, $20,308.09, incomes, $4,829.21, tuition, etc., +$22,719.89, United States Government for Indians, $9,540.87; total, +$175,449.31. Our payments to April 30th are $203,777.45. Debt balance, +$28,328.14. + +_The Meaning of the Figures._ + +These figures mean a debt--growing at the rate of $4,000 a month. In +passing "through the dark valley and shadow of"--debt, we walk with a +goodly company. It is said that nearly every missionary society in +Christendom reports a deficit this year. A common cause must underlie so +broad a fact, and no one society deserves special censure. + +_How we get into Debt._ + +A missionary society cannot make its expenditures as a man provides for +his family--from day to day--but must lay out its plans for the year. +The missionaries, the teachers, the matrons and all employes must be +engaged for that length of time. The appropriation must be made on the +general expectation of receipts, with some allowance for added growth. +Every prosperous business firm plans for enlargement. Shall the Lord's +business only lack enterprise and growth? Must it move on a dead level, +or on a declining grade? The churches would not long endure that, and +the word of the Lord is: "Speak unto the children of Israel that they go +forward." + + +_How our Debts are to be Paid._ + +This cannot be done near the close of the year by dismissing the +ministers and shutting up the schools. These self-sacrificing workers +are dependent on their salaries, and the teachers, some of whom out of +their small pittance are helping to sustain an invalid mother or sister, +and in not a few cases are aiding needy students, and should not be +deprived of their wages. Repudiation of such debts is not the relief for +a missionary society. + +The only way, therefore, that we can see is, to throw ourselves upon the +benevolence of the churches, whose agents we are in doing their work, +and ask them to come to the rescue by increased donations. A little from +each will make it easy for all. + + * * * * * + + +VOICES FROM THE FIELD. + +We wish our friends to see as we see and hear as we hear from the field, +as to the need of enlargement and the difficulty of closing schools +prematurely, and hence we present some condensed facts as specimens. + +McINTOSH, GA.--One hundred and nineteen in a single room and with only + one teacher. No boarding department and scores must be turned away. + +FLORENCE, ALA.--In a rapidly growing city, school held in our church + building. Large numbers turned away for lack of room. + +JONESBORO, TENN.--No boarding place for either boys or girls. Boys live + in rough rooms in a barn, six in a small room. No more can possibly be + accommodated. + +GRAND VIEW, TENN.--Buildings crowded full; no place for any more, yet + pupils are trying to crowd in. + +PINE MOUNTAIN, TENN.--Situated in a region nearly a hundred miles long, + without a single school except the almost worthless district schools + for two or three months. + +WILLIAMSBURG, KY.--Crowded full of students; more than sixty in one room + large enough for only thirty. + +JELLICO, TENN.--Our church and school building will not hold either our + Sunday-school or those who attend the preaching services. Must be + enlarged or no growth can follow. + +ATHENS, TENN.--Growing town; nearly a thousand Northern people with no + church suited to their needs. Some Congregationalists need aid in + starting a church. + +FORT BERTHOLD, DAKOTA.--Rev. C.L. Hall writes: "We have not at Fort + Berthold the necessary buildings for our work. Our girls are in an old + Government building out of repair, and a little cottage 16x22, and our + boys and industrial teacher are crowded into the missionary's house, + and a little one-story annex 14x22. There is no room for a guest to + stay over night." + +CHINESE IN CALIFORNIA.--Dr. Pond, the Superintendent of our Chinese + Missions, makes a dollar go as far as any man in our service. He is + one of the most careful men in making ends meet. But he has been + caught in the cyclone and writes thus about the premature closing of + the schools: + +"Nothing seemed left for me to do but to notify the teachers that I +could pay all bills for May, but could promise nothing more. When I had +resolved to do this, the workers passed before me, one by one: most of +our teachers are dependent on this slender stipend for their daily +bread--teachers that had been in our service for many years, never +measuring their service by their pay, but working in season and out of +season, and most of the time rendering help not bargained for fully +equal to that which I could have required. The helpers also passed +before me. Jee Gam with his wife and five children; our brave, unselfish +Low Quong; our faithful, almost saintly Chin Toy, our earnest and +eloquent Yong Jin--all of whom have sacrificed their pecuniary interests +for service in the mission, and all of whom, if their income from +missionary work ceases, will be compelled at once to seek an income +elsewhere because of those dependent upon them. Then the schools passed +before me--closed and silent, most of them, the scholars scattered and +the momentum from many years of earnest, unremitting effort gradually +dying away." + + +_The Daniel Hand Fund._ + +It may be asked, Why not meet such pressing claims out of this Fund? We +answer, That Fund is doing its noble work in its chosen field, among the +colored people in the South, but cannot do all even in that; and it will +be observed that most of these calls come from the other portions of our +field, the mountains of the South, the Indians of the West, and the +Chinese on the Pacific coast. Our main dependence must ever be on the +churches. + + * * * * * + + +THE DIVIDING LINE BETWEEN THE TWO CENTURIES. + +The first century of the American Constitution has passed, and has been +grandly celebrated. We now stand on the dividing line, and enter upon +the Second Century with its unknown trials and triumphs. What these may +be, we may judge, perhaps, in part, if we turn to those of the past. +Among the many and serious objections made against the Constitution at +the outset, demanding protracted discussions, Compromises and +Amendments, none were graver or more far-reaching in their consequences +than those respecting State Rights and the recognition of Negro slavery. +The bottom difficulty in these was probably that of slavery, for, if it +had not introduced such radically different industries in the two +sections of the country, with their different interests, and habits of +thought and life, the question of State Rights might have slumbered in +quietude. But when slavery had to be defended, State Rights was the +bastion behind which the defence sheltered itself. Whether the +Compromise with slavery at the outset were the wise thing or not, it is +not worth while now to consider. We do not know what the consequences +would have been if the Compromise had not been made. We all know now, +only too sadly, the dreadful price that was at last paid for the +Compromise. + +But the war killed slavery and buried it beyond resurrection. Logically, +it also killed the State Rights doctrine. But we fear it "still lives" +in the heart of Jefferson Davis, and in the hearts of the many millions +who still revere him as the leader of the "lost cause." Its avowal is +still heard from Southern lips and in the Southern press. Will there be +any occasion for its revival into active life? We fear there will be. +Slavery has left behind it a ghost which no more than that of Banquo +will "down." Race prejudice is as unyielding in the Southern heart +to-day as was the purpose once to maintain slavery. Should that prejudice +persist in its inexorable demands, another contest may arise, in which +the enfranchised millions may be goaded to take part, and the North, as +in the case of slavery, may be involved in the dreadful struggle. At +what time in the coming hundred years of the Constitution this new +struggle may come, no one can predict. The crisis will not be averted by +merely deprecating it, and we know of no Compromise that can reach it. +The only possible relief that we can see is by educating the Negro, till +he shall rise to a position that will challenge the respect of his +fellow-citizens and secure to him his equal rights under the glorious +Constitution of the United States of America. + + * * * * * + + +REV. C.W. HIATT. + +The American Missionary Association has divided its Western Collecting +Field. The boundary separating the two parts is the western line of +Indiana. Dr. Roy, who has made so honorable record in the past, will +retain the western portion with his office still in Chicago. The eastern +portion will have its headquarters in Cleveland. Rev. C.W. Hiatt has +been invited to take this District Secretaryship, and we have now the +pleasure of announcing his acceptance. Mr. Hiatt is not unknown in his +district, having made his mark in his pastorate in Columbus, Ohio. We +ask the churches to give him a cordial welcome for his own sake as well +as that of the Association. + + * * * * * + + +PARAGRAPHS. + +The letter of Dr. Pond in this number was written in response to a +request from a Northern lady for hints in regard to the methods of +teaching the Chinese. Many besides this lady will find profit in reading +it. The article on "Church Building in a Day" cannot fail to interest. +We only wish we could add that church services were held in the building +on the following day, but of this we are ignorant. If any of our readers +are desirous of knowing what expedients our missionaries among the +Indians have to resort to in administering the communion at their +out-stations, let them read "One Day's Missionary Work," by Rev. T.L. +Riggs. We give our readers also a problem in the letter from Miss Collins +at Fort Yates, "What shall we do about it?" + + * * * * * + +We have learned of the death of Mrs. Villa (Crumb) Borden at her home in +Norwich, N.Y. During her three years' service in the work of this +Association at Athens, Ala., she was untiring in efforts for the +improvement of her pupils. By her genial spirit, unselfish life and +faithful labor in school, church, Sunday-School and the community, she +greatly endeared herself to the people as well as to pupils and fellow +teachers, who sincerely mourn her departure. + + * * * * * + +A friend who reads the magazine and studies it minutely, sends us a +postal containing these encouraging words: + +"A stimulating fact appeared in the MISSIONARY for April just received. +The summary of receipts October 1st, to February 28th, shows nearly +$14,000 received for tuition in that time--more than one-sixth of the +donations." + +Our friends who are denying themselves, oftentimes, to aid in sustaining +our work, will be cheered to know that the funds they contribute are not +thrown into a slough and lost, but are touching mind and heart and +industry, and thus stimulating the people whom we benefit to help +themselves. + + * * * * * + +In making up the catalogue of Fisk University for this year, the +following facts are culled out: + +Total number of students, 505, which is a gain of thirty over last year, +and last year the attendance was the largest the University had ever +had. Number of students in the Department of Music, 110; a gain of +twenty over last year. Special students in Theology, 9; a gain of six +over the previous year. There has been a gain of eight in the College +Department, two in the Normal, and four in the College Preparatory. + + * * * * * + +Mr. Coffin graduated from Fisk University in 1885, and has held +important positions as a teacher ever since graduating. He has also +bought about $250 worth of books on one of the special courses of study +established by the Illinois Wesleyan University, and so successfully +complied with the requirements of the course that the result mentioned +in the letter below has been reached. + + ILLINOIS WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY, Bloomington, Ill. + + _Dear Sir._--Mr. A.O. Coffin has just been here for his final + examination for his Ph.D., and desires me to report to you his + performance. + + This last work closes a series of about six examinations upon + some thirty papers, requiring from three to five hours' writing + on each. The examination held here was oral, before a committee + of three of our faculty, and lasted nearly three hours. Mr. + Coffin was probed on all sides with everything that had a + bearing on his course (Biology), both as to technical and + general matters, and slipped but twice in the whole ordeal. Our + professors report to me that his previous written work was of + the same high character. Of the forty or fifty men who have + taken this degree here, within the past fifteen years (all on + examination), Mr. Coffin easily stands among the half dozen who + have most distinguished themselves.

C.J. RYDER, DISTRICT SECRETARY. + +A trip to Ohio this month to attend the State Association and to +indoctrinate the new District Secretary into the esoteric mysteries of +the American Missionary Association was a delightful experience, and yet +one does not get out of New England by going to Ohio. The hills and +valleys, and clear mountain brooks are left behind, but New England +people are there as much as here. And what grand opportunities there are +in these interior States for growth in missionary enthusiasm and +benevolence! Congregationalism is taking Ohio. I remember when a boy in +the Buckeye State there were few churches of our order off the +"Reserve," or "New Connecticut," as the northern counties were called. +"Congregationalism was not adapted to those conditions," we learned in +our unwritten, uncongregational catechism. But since 1860 it has been +discovered that Congregationalism is fitted for any conditions where +Christians are seeking the advancement of our Lord's kingdom, and there +are souls outside of that kingdom. So Congregationalism has grown in all +sections of Ohio. + +The beautiful city of Mt. Vernon opened her homes and hearts in large +and generous hospitality. The American Missionary Association received +an especially cordial welcome, because many remember the golden days +when the senior Secretary of the Association was pastor of this Mt. +Vernon church. It was he they wanted to present the work of the +Association in his old pulpit, but a younger man went because he was +younger. + +The new District Secretary of the American Missionary Association, Rev. +C.W. Hiatt, was welcomed enthusiastically, and his record merits such a +welcome. The office of this district will be in Cleveland, Ohio, and its +territory includes Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Western Pennsylvania and +Western New York--a large field for one laborer to till successfully! +Take this New England district: there are eleven hundred and forty-five +churches in it, and only one Secretary to reach them all! Were it not +that the pastors and many of the lay members were ready to give their +cordial and hearty assistance, and for the occasional, earnest help of a +missionary, it would be impossible even "to shuffle round in it." But +there is this hearty assistance and it constantly increases in +heartiness. + + * * * * * + +Rev. B. Dodge of Pleasant Hill, Tenn., a faithful worker in that +mountain region, has returned with a glad and thankful heart to his +field of labor. His appeal published in the February magazine, and his +indefatigable personal labors with individuals, were crowned with +success, and he rejoiced in sufficient receipts to warrant the erection +of the "Girls' Dormitory" for the mountain girls. The help rendered was +most generous and timely. But this new building, as imperative as its +need is, _increases the annual expense of the work._ Larger +contributions are necessary in order to carry on this work in its larger +quarters. Prosperity involves expense. + +One of the true friends of Missions has hit upon a plan for gaining +information that is worthy wider adoption than in her own church. She +has organized a club of those who desire to read the magazines of the +various Congregational Societies. This plan puts the magazine of each +society into the hands of a large circle of readers, and the expense to +each is very small. Are there any other clubs of this kind? Cannot one +be organized in each church? + + * * * * * + +Few books would be of more real and lasting value in the libraries of +our schools than "The Deathless Book," by Rev. David O. Mears, D.D. Dr. +S.E. Smith says of it:--"It contains more items of knowledge in many a +field than are often brought together, and all legitimately associated +with the precious Book of Divine Revelation." A pledge has been given +for a part payment in the purchase of one hundred volumes of this book, +to be paid when the whole is pledged. It would be a great addition to +our school libraries if this book were put into them. The publishers +offer special rates. Will not some one make a special gift to complete +this fund? + + * * * * * + +A letter just received from Corpus Christi brings the glad news of a +deep and far-reaching revival in progress there. Many have been +hopefully converted and the interest still continues. + + * * * * * + + +FREDERICK DOUGLASS. + +Few colored men in the United States have occupied a more prominent +position than Frederick Douglass; and there are none whose opinions are +more worthy of respect. His address delivered at the celebration of the +Twenty-seventh Anniversary of the Emancipation of the Slaves in the +District of Columbia was thoughtful, well-expressed and emphatic in its +utterances. While we might not accord with every sentiment, we wish we +could publish the whole. We content ourselves with a few pointed +extracts. + + +THE IRREPRESSIBLE CONFLICT STILL IN PROGRESS. + +"From every view I have been able to take of the present situation in +relation to the colored people of the United States, I am forced to the +conclusion that the irrepressible conflict, of which we heard so much +before the War of the Rebellion and during the war, is still in +progress. It is still the battle between two opposite civilizations--the +one created and sustained by slavery, and the other framed and fashioned +in the spirit of liberty and humanity, and this conflict will not be +ended until one or the other shall be completely adopted in every +section of our common country." + + +THE CONDITION OF THE PLANTATION NEGRO. + +"From my outlook, I am free to affirm that I see nothing for the Negro +of the South but a condition of absolute freedom or of absolute slavery. +I see no half-way place for him. One or the other of these conditions is +to solve the so called Negro-problem. Let it be remembered that the +labor of the Negro is his only capital. Take this from him and he dies +from starvation. The present mode of obtaining his labor in the South +gives the old master-class a complete mastery over him. The payment of +the Negro by orders on stores, where the storekeeper controls price, +quality and quantity, and is subject to no competition, so that the +Negro must buy there and nowhere else--an arrangement by which the Negro +never has a dollar to lay by, and can be kept in debt to his employer +year in and year out, puts him completely at the mercy of the old +master-class. He who could say to the Negro when a slave, you shall work +for me or be whipped to death, can now say to him with equal emphasis, +you shall work for me or I will starve you to death. This is the plain, +matter-of-fact and unexaggerated condition of the plantation Negro in +the Southern States to-day." + + +WHY THE NEGRO DOES NOT EMIGRATE? + +"I will tell you. He has not a cent of money to emigrate with, and if he +had, and desired to exercise that right, he would be arrested for debt, +for non-fulfillment of contract, or be shot down like a dog in his +tracks. When Southern Senators tell you that they want to be rid of the +negroes, and would be glad to have them all clear out, you know, and I +know, and they know, that they are speaking falsely, and simply with a +view to mislead the North. Only a few days ago, armed resistance was +made in North Carolina to colored emigration from that State, and the +first exodus to Kansas was arrested by the old master-class with +shotguns and Winchester rifles. The desire to get rid of the negro is a +hollow sham. His labor is wanted to-day in the South just as it was +wanted in the old times when he was hunted by two-legged and four-legged +bloodhounds." + + +NO FEARS OF THE FINAL RESULT. + +"In conclusion, while I have plainly portrayed the sources of danger to +our people, I have no fears as to the final result. The American people +are governed, not only by laws and selfish interests, but by large ideas +of moral and material civilization. The spirit of justice, liberty, and +fair play is abroad in the land. It is in the air. It animates men of +all stations, of all professions and callings, and can neither be +silenced nor extirpated. It has an agent in every bar of railroad iron, +a servant in every electric wire, a missionary in every traveler. It not +only tunnels the mountains, fills up the valleys, and sheds upon us the +light of science, but it will ultimately destroy the unnumbered wrongs +inherited by both races from the system of slavery and barbarism. In +this direction is the trend of the nation. States may lag, parties may +hesitate, leaders may halt, but to this complexion it must come at last. +States, parties and leaders must, and will in the end, adjust themselves +to this overwhelming and irresistible tendency. It will make parties, +and unmake parties, will make rulers, and unmake rulers, until it shall +become the fixed, universal, and irreversible law of the land. For fifty +years, it has made progress against all contradictions. It stemmed the +current of opposition in church and State. It has removed many +proscriptions. It has opened the gates of knowledge. It has abolished +slavery. It has saved the Union. It has reconstructed the government +upon a basis of justice and liberty, and it will see to it that the last +vestige of fraud and violence on the ballot box shall disappear, and +there shall be one country, one law, one liberty, for all the people of +the United States." + + * * * * * + + +THE SOUTH. + + + * * * * * + + +CHURCH BUILDING IN A DAY. + +Condensed from the _Southern Enterprise_ of April 18th. + +Saturday morning, the 13th instant, at nine o'clock, was the time +appointed for the laying of the corner stone of our first church edifice +in Deer Lodge, Tennessee. Rev. G.S. Pope--founder of the church, and now +General Missionary of the American Missionary Association for the +Cumberland Plateau, had been notified of the occasion, but not in time +to be present, and the duties were committed to Rev. Aaron Porter, the +present pastor. The early morning was a little cloudy, but before nine +o'clock the sun shone out, and the remainder of the day was as pleasant +as possible. + +The locality of the Church is on Ross Avenue between Knoxville Avenue +and Spring Street, where four beautiful lots were selected some time ago +by Rev. Mr. Pope and the building committee, and donated by Mr. A.L. +Ross. At the appointed hour, the citizens and neighbors collected around +the foundation, and occupied the piles of lumber as seats while they +listened to the interesting exercises. These consisted of singing, +reading of Scripture, an original hymn composed by the pastor, prayer, +address, enumeration of articles to be placed in corner stone, +depositing, cementing and closing the box, remarks, singing and +benediction. + +After a few moments of interchanging of views of the situation, and of +the good fellowship now prevailing in our pioneer community--all the men +present took hold, and soon raised the entire framework to its place; it +having been prepared previously by Mr. Hodge and his assistants in such +careful manner that every piece fitted to its proper place. The crowd +then retired to enjoy the good dinners some of the citizens had prepared +for them; after which they returned to the grounds, and before sundown +had the entire frame work enclosed with sheeting in diagonal style. In +addition, the frame of the tower was raised and encased. Saturday was a +day of pride to Deer Lodge, as probably the same amount of work has not +been accomplished in the same time on any other occasion in this +country. + + * * * * * + + +ITEMS FROM WHITLEY COUNTY. + +MRS. A.A. MYERS + +In giving a little report of the condition of Prof. Lawrence, and of +what has been done with the assassin who attempted his life in May last, +I think I will but be answering the unexpressed wish of many of the +readers of the MISSIONARY. Mr. Lawrence is far from well. We fear he +will never recover from the nervous strain and great suffering of the +past year. He has but little use of his right arm and hand. He is now at +Champaign, Ill., and has not been able to attend trial. As to the +assassin, he walks our streets and frequents our saloons at pleasure. He +is out on $1,000 bail; whiskey men on his bonds. Northern people need +not be surprised at such justice, when Haddock's murderers are running +at large; and here we have not only whiskey and its money against us, +but secret fraternities, Southern prejudice, and sectarian intolerance. +We have hardly dared hope for justice in these courts, but rely on the +truth of the motto we have put in our church on the wall near where one +of the bullets struck--"Vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the +Lord." + +One of our native preachers not far from here made this unanswerable +argument in a sermon on _apostacsy_. He said, "'_If_ they shall fall +away'--means that they _cannot_ fall away, for anybody that knows +anything about the English language, knows it is a verb in the +_impossible_ mode and _everlasting_ tense." + +Two ministers in Whitley County had called a public meeting to discuss +their peculiar doctrines. They became quite excited, and at the close of +the discussion, one of them prayed, "Oh God, make Elder So-and-so's +heart as soft as his head is." + +A good meeting means a big excitement as much among the white people as +among the colored. This little incident, which occurred in a service +among the hills of northern Alabama, was told us by an eye witness, and +goes to show the depth of Christ-like feeling (?) that prompts _some_, +at least, of the great happiness they express. An underwitted youth +seemed to get religion in one of these times of shouting and excitement. +He swung his arms and marched back and forth shouting with the rest. To +see him so happy made the others shout the more. Amid all the noise, no +one knew what he was saying till, all of a sudden, as often happens, +there was a lull; then, as he kept on he was understood, and these were +the words he was repeating over and over: "Run, chicken, with your head +pecked off, a'n't we having a good time?" + +It may not be uninteresting to hear how some of the bodily ills are +ministered to here in the mountains. + +If a person is subject to headache, he can be cured by cutting some of +his hair off and putting it in a stream of running water. + +In certain kinds of sickness, there must be the greatest care that none +of the covering on the bed be turned over. If it should be, the case +will terminate fatally. + +In fevers, I have known milk to be strictly forbidden, but ham and +biscuit recommended by the physician. + +Quite a number of people, and even those of whom you would expect better +things, employ "charm" doctors. They make passes and say over a lingo, +and it will cure cancers, toothache, or any other disease. I have never +heard what their magic words are. In fact, if a woman tells a woman, +they lose all their curative properties. But these are the words they +use to charm away the botts in horses. I think they ought to be given to +the public for the benefit of stock growers generally. Putting the +fingers on the animal's nose, they pass the hand along the head and +spine, repeating, "King Solomon plows with a golden plow. He plows deep +and he plows shallow, and he kills all the worms." + + * * * * * + + +TOUGALOO UNIVERSITY. + +The year thus far at Tougaloo University has been one of great success. +The enrollment, three hundred and thirty-five, has already surpassed +that of any previous full year, and many more have signified their +intention of attending next term, when a special Teacher's Training +Course is to be held. The necessity under which many labor, of teaching +school in order to pay their own school bills, makes attendance somewhat +irregular. The grade of the school is being steadily advanced, and under +efficient teachers and Principal, the pupils are making solid +advancement. The upward grading process will prevent the graduation of +any pupils from the normal department this year, but that is of slight +moment compared with the substantial gain of more thorough scholarship. + +The industrial work of the school has this year been more thoroughly +systematized and made more efficient than before. There has been special +improvement in the girls' industrial work. Even the younger pupils enter +into the sewing and cooking classes with zest. The boys' industries +include blacksmithing, carpentry, tinning, wagon making, painting, steam +sawing, turning, scroll sawing, and farm-work in its various branches, +the care of stock, etc. It would be difficult to estimate the value that +this combined school and industrial work is destined to have on the +Negroes of this State of Mississippi. Not in legislative enactments, but +in the gradual process of education along this line, will the main +problems connected with the Negro race be solved. + +The Biblical department of the school, recently established, designed to +train preachers, has as yet but one class, of three members. These are +making good progress, and they take turns in preaching at Clinton, at +the Mt. Hermon School, fourteen miles away. The training in this +department under the President, is especially directed towards knowledge +of the Bible and of human nature, earnest and practical preaching, and +the development in the preacher of sterling character. If preachers can +be sent forth who are well grounded in these things, much may be +expected of them. Says Dr. Haygood, "The hope of the black race lies +mainly in the pulpit." + +The most interesting feature of the work of this year has been the very +deep religious interest which began soon after the Week of Prayer and +which has not passed away. Special services were conducted for several +weeks by President Woodworth, and the feeling was strong and earnest. It +has been a quiet work, but it is believed that it is deep. Between fifty +and sixty expressed a determination to live the Christian life. One of +the most helpful features in the Christian work of the school is the +Covenant for Christian Service, a pledge somewhat similar to the +Christian Endeavor pledge, though there is no organization. Over one +hundred have signed this covenant within the past year. The school is +growing rapidly; its outlook is most hopeful. It is already cramped for +room. Every recitation room has been full, and many crowded, this term. +One class had to overflow into the chapel. Between thirty and forty +girls who wished to come were obliged to stay at home because the +Ladies' Boarding Hall has been crowded to its utmost capacity. A new one +is very greatly needed. + + * * * * * + + +WORK AT HAMPTON. + +REV. H.B. FRISSELL. + +You will be glad to know of the missionary work that the students are +doing in the community. Our graduates have started a Young Men's +Christian Association in the town of Hampton, hired rooms, chosen one of +their number secretary, paid a large part of the expense out of their +own pockets, have fitted up the rooms prettily and made an attractive, +pleasant place for the young men of the town. They have social, +literary, musical and religious gatherings there. A boys' club has been +started in connection with the Association. The colored pastors have +became interested in the work, and take turns in conducting the Sabbath +afternoon prayer meeting in the rooms. + +Our Holly Tree Inn, on the school grounds, is now in active operation. +It is under the direction of our school temperance society. Coffee and +rolls are furnished for five cents, with a pleasant room and open fire +in winter. The result has been that some of our students who used to be +tempted into saloons and doubtful places, find a comfortable, pleasant +room on the school grounds where they can get what they want. We +consider it a valuable object lesson, to the students, of what they can +do at their own homes. + +The work of the students in the Sunday-schools about is continually +increasing. The school at Slabtown, started by the students with twenty +scholars, had over a hundred last Sabbath. The school-room given by a +generous friend in New York is fairly ready to burst with its living +contents. During the week, teachers and normal school scholars go out +and teach the women and children how to sew. + +Another Sunday-school, at Little England, is conducted very largely by +our Indians under the direction of teachers. The Indian boys hold +services at the jail and furnish music for an afternoon service at the +Soldiers' Home. You would be interested to be here of a Sunday morning +and see the happy groups of missionaries going forth in every direction, +on foot, by boat, by wagon, to jail, to poor house, to the cottages of +the old and sick, carrying the good news. Every colored Sunday-school in +the neighborhood has a large number of its teachers from the Normal +school. We consider this missionary work of the students most important +in keeping up their interest in their own people, and in developing the +Christ-like spirit of work for others. + +Our school for Bible study, though cramped for room, is exerting an +important influence on this community. Almost all the colored pastors of +the place have received instruction in its classes. All the white +pastors of the place, with one exception, take part in the instruction +of their colored brethren. This school has sent out colporteurs under +the American Tract Society into the country about. With what knowledge +they have received here, they have been able to unite the office of +teacher and preacher in the country districts; they have earned their +way by the work of their hands and so secured a chance to preach. In +this way, they are able to stay in one community during the whole year. +One of these men went over to the eastern shore of Virginia last year; +worked on the railroad during the day, taught a night school in the +evening, got together a congregation, put up a comfortable church, +building it largely with his own hands, and came back to school in the +fall with money enough for his next year's expenses. One of the class +sailed last spring for Africa. + + * * * * * + + +DEVELOPING PATRIOTISM AMONG THE COLORED PEOPLE. + +REV. G.S. ROLLINS. + +The security of any nation rests largely upon the patriotism of its +people. America is in danger, not from foes without, but from within her +own borders. How to Americanize the foreign element, is the problem +which confronts the people of our great cities; a question which more +directly concerns the Northern portion of our country. + +Here in the South is a different case. We have eight million negroes-- +born Americans. The one all-absorbing question is, how to fit them for +citizenship--how to make patriotic citizens of them. + +Is patriotism in danger among the colored people? Yes, and mainly for +two reasons. + +First, because of their ignorance of our country; its history, +constitution and government. Some will think that this is a danger which +will soon pass away, as the older and more ignorant ones die. It is true +that the number of those who were advanced in years at the close of the +war is rapidly decreasing, but there is an astonishingly large number of +those who were young at that time and are now in the prime of life. They +are ignorant of our National history previous to the Civil War. What +they have learned since, has been politics rather than patriotism. They +look upon our nation as two great political parties, each struggling for +the mastery. One they regard as hostile, and the other friendly, to +them. This is the extent of their knowledge of United States history. +Although they have been told that we are a great nation under a +beneficent government, such a fact is difficult for them to comprehend, +since all they see is the by-play of party politicians. They know they +have a right to vote, but how can they respect a government that does +not always and everywhere protect them in the exercise of that right? + +A second reason why patriotism is in danger among the colored people: +They are not surrounded by that intensely national spirit which prevails +in other parts of our country. By this, I would not take one iota from +the loyalty and patriotism of the Southern people. The fact cannot be +denied, however, that one in the South hears and reads but little about +the United States of America. Much is written and said about the State, +but little genuine enthusiasm for the whole country is displayed. A +general spirit of distrust of the Federal Government is constantly +coming to the surface. Newspapers and men talk as if they were +constantly afraid the government would overstep its bounds and encroach +upon the rights of the States. The Southern press is ever complaining of +the sectionalism of the North. And when confronted with the necessity of +teaching United States History in the public schools, it rejects the +current school histories. It is not the present object to remark further +upon this than to call attention to the fact that there is a state of +public sentiment which is not productive of warm patriotism. Two years +ago, the writer, while attending an anniversary in a Northern city, +witnessed a scene that will not soon be forgotten. Fifty thousand people +were gathered on a public square, and at a given signal a beautiful new +flag was unfurled, and the band struck up "America." Fifty thousand +voices took up the tune. Men cheered until they were hoarse. One +gray-haired Irishman with tears shouted, "Thank God I live under the +American flag." Such scenes develop patriotism. They are rare in the +South. + +In the midst of indifference toward the national government, the colored +race is developing and multiplying, and that so rapidly that it is a +most important factor in the political affairs of the nation. Like +begets like. Indifference toward the government on the part of the +whites, breeds the same in the Negroes. + +Now, true patriotism is a positive power. A new generation of colored +people is growing up. Upon these rests the future of the race. These two +defects, lack of education and unpatriotic surroundings, will best be +remedied by the education of this new generation. + +United States History should be a prominent study, even in the primary +departments of our schools. The vast majority of the colored children +can remain in school only long enough to get a knowledge of the +elements, and among these should be American history. What if children +cannot pronounce the names of all the cities in Siberia? Teach them to +speak intelligently of Lexington, Bunker Hill and Yorktown. Hang the +walls of the school-room with pictures of great Americans. Let incidents +from their lives be used as illustrations of moral lessons. Explain the +principles and form of our government. Dwell upon the extent of its +domain and its vast resources. Define simply the privileges conferred, +and the duties imposed, upon the citizens of our government. Four things +should be taught them: the three Rs and American history. What is needed +among all our citizens, is a great lifting up where a broad view of our +great land can be had. Make the children feel that they dwell in a great +and goodly land, that they enjoy great privileges under its government, +and they will learn to love it. + +When Independence Day arrives, arrange for public gatherings of the +people, and in short addresses explain to them the meaning of the day. +Let it be a day of opportunity for instructing them in the history of +our country and in the duties of citizenship. These are some of the ways +in which the colored people may be aroused from their apathy and +indifference toward their country, and inspired with a patriotism, not +blind and spasmodic, but intelligent and permanent. + + * * * * * + + +A NEGRO GIRL'S PROSE POEM. + +In attendance at one of the ward schools of Indianapolis is a little +colored girl nine years old. She is miserable, indeed, for at home she +is ill treated, and the shoes she wears, and often the clothes, are +supplied by the teachers or some of her classmates. There is a tender, +poetic vein in her make-up, and it found vent in a composition. The +teacher took a little pansy plant to school one day and told the pupils +of the flower. Two days after, she asked them to write a story of it, +and gave them the privilege of having the pansy talk and tell the story, +and this is what the little colored girl wrote, the word pansy in the +copy being the only one dignified with a capital: + +"I am only a Pansy, my home is in a little brown house. I sleep in my +little brown house all winter, and I am now going to open my eyes and +look about. 'give me some rain sky, I want to look out of my window and +see what is going on,' I asked, so the sky gave me some water and I +began to clime to the window, at last I got up there and open my eyes, +oh what a wonderful world I seen when birds sang songs to me, and +grasshoppers kissed me, and dance with me, and creakets smiled at me, +and I had a pretty green dress. there was trees that grow over me and +the wind faned me. the sun smiled at me, and little children smelled me. +one bright morning me and the grasshoppers had a party he wood play with +me and a naughty boy pick me up and tore me up and I died and that was +the last of Pansy."-- + +_Exchange._ + + * * * * * + + +THE INDIANS. + + + * * * * * + + +ONE DAY'S MISSIONARY WORK. + +REV. T.L. RIGGS, OAHE, DAKOTA. + +Early in the winter, I had a pleasant day of work regarding which I want +to write you. It was the day appointed for the observance of the Lord's +Supper at the out-station about ten miles from home, and as the river +had not frozen over thoroughly, I thought it better to go down in the +saddle rather than drive the cart. This made it impossible for Mrs. +Riggs to accompany me as she sometimes does. + +I brought out my saddle camp-pouches (small square cases that strap to +the horn of the saddle) and emptied them of their camp furniture, and in +these were placed the bread and wine and also the service for the +communion. My pouches are so small that I could take but one glass and a +little china pitcher for our service. Usually I am able to take a china +plate as well, but this time there was no room. + +I went early in the day, and after some little difficulty the river was +safely crossed, though my poor horse, not being shod, fell upon the ice +more than once. He was not hurt, however, and I followed the river shore +down to the out-station which is on the west side of the river. + +I found the people gathered, and we had a morning session of nearly two +hours. It was rather a preparatory service, and I talked familiarly with +those present, individually as well as collectively. There were three +men and their wives who wished to be married. Seven applied for +admission to church membership, and there were also several infants to +be baptized. + +After dismissing the morning gathering, I arranged for communion +service. I had no plate, so I sent a boy to his home to get one. He +returned saying they had none, and I sent him to another house, from +which he returned saying he could not get in. Then I decided to use the +best I had, which was the card-board back broken from a hymn book. This +I covered with a napkin and it answered very nicely. I had not prepared +for any applications for baptism and had to send for a bowl, instead of +which a _tin cup_ was brought just as we were ready to begin service. + +After the opening of service, I first married the three couples, (one of +these consisted of an old man and woman nearly seventy years old, both +of them gray-headed). The applicants for Christian fellowship were asked +to give some public expression of their faith and were received into +membership and baptized together with the infants. We, also, at the +close of the service elected a deacon, who holds office for two years, +and then I talked to them regarding the duties of another year. When +dismissed, all went to their homes. I, too, went to a house near by and +drank some coffee, for by this time I was quite faint. After this I rode +home, reaching there just as the family were separating from the +tea-table. + +It seems odd to speak of men and their _wives_ coming to be married--it +is meant that they are husbands and wives _after the Dakota custom_. +When they come to understand Christian marriage, and especially if they +desire to unite with the church, they ask to have the marriage +solemnized in a Christian manner. Sometimes a man and woman who have +several children, perhaps a baby in arms, present themselves for +marriage. + +It is required of married candidates for admission to the church, that +they be married in a Christian way. This sometimes seems hard, as in a +case which has been before our Oahe church for some time. A woman of +fine character whom we believe to be a sincere Christian, desires to +unite with the church. Her husband, who is a veritable heathen, refuses +to marry her. He says he never has had another wife and does not intend +to take one, but he is a Dakota and does not wish to adopt white +people's ways. They have a large family of children, and the wife does +not feel that it is best to separate from her husband, though she really +desires to do her whole Christian duty. In such cases, this regulation +seems hard, but in the early days of the Dakota Mission, anything else +brought confusion and trouble into the church, and this method of action +was decided upon. + + * * * * * + + +WHAT SHALL WE DO ABOUT IT? + +MISS M.C. COLLINS, FORT YATES, DAK. + +There is a time in our work, if it progresses as we would like, when it +seems to go beyond us. The work here now is at that point. When I came +here the people were beggars. Their acquaintance with the Agency people +and the Army people had been such as to cause them to think that white +people were all wealthy, and that one had only to ask for a thing to +receive it. I have labored diligently to induce them to earn what they +have. It is very seldom now that any one begs, but I am over-run with +applications for work. Each individual is jealous of another, if I give +one work and refuse another. If I hire a woman to wash, I must hire +another to iron, another to bring in my wood, another to wash the floor +and still another to clean up my yard. If I hire a man to make some +repairs, I must hire another to cut wood, another to haul water or ice, +and so it is. This is very expensive, and yet I see no way to avoid it. +I cannot say to a man, "It is a disgrace to beg bread for your hungry +child," and then refuse to give him work. Now, let some of your wise +people in the East who are friends of the Indian try to remedy this +great difficulty. Let a part of the Indian money be spent in educating +the Indian in his home to work and to earn something. The church or the +Government ought to devise some plan by which Indians at their homes can +earn money. I do all I can, but the expense is more than I can bear. +There is no market for the Indian, and no work to be done by which he +can earn anything, and no man can become self-supporting until he is +provided with a way to support himself. What can we do about it? + + * * * * * + + +THE CHINESE. + + + * * * * * + + +METHOD OF CONDUCTING CHINESE SUNDAY-SCHOOLS. + +REV. W.C. POND, D.D. + +I have been requested to give in the columns of the MISSIONARY, some +hints as to the opening and conducting of Chinese Sunday-schools. I +wonder that I have waited for such a request, and did not long ago take +this good method of replying to letters of inquiry, which, attempting to +answer one by one, I have been obliged to respond to briefly, hurriedly, +and unsatisfactorily. + +1. First, "Catch your hare"--get the Chinese to come. This is less +difficult, I fancy, in our Eastern cities, than in those of California. +And yet, even there, it may require repeated and persistent invitations. +I would not despair even though the teachers came several times at the +hour appointed, and found that the expected pupils had broken their +promises and failed to appear. You will at length prove to them that you +are in earnest and have something for them worth their consideration. + +2. When they come, _do not undertake any opening exercises_, but as soon +as the first one appears, let the teaching begin. They are generally so +situated, that to exact strict punctuality, is to require the +impossible. Give them a reading lesson in whatever book they bring; or, +if they bring none, in any primer you may have at hand, Chinese who have +made no beginning in English, need to have each one his own teacher. +This may not be possible always, but it is very desirable. It is +exceedingly important that as much as possible be learned of English in +the first few lessons, in order to prepossess the pupils favorably and +get them interested in the school. Those who have already learned to +read can, of course, be put into Bible classes, but beginners ought to +be at liberty to take, each one his own pace, and get on as fast as +possible; and for this a teacher for each pupil is needed. + +3. From the beginning, let each class or each pupil have _one and the +same teacher_. This is of almost vital importance. The establishment of +a personal relationship and the development of a special personal +friendship, are almost indispensable, if we would lead such dark souls +into light. General exercises will not do this fast enough to meet the +emergency. It needs personal contact; careful "hand-picking." + +4. That which seems to me the best _text-book_ for Chinese schools is +"Jacobs' Reader." It was prepared originally for the deaf and dumb; and +thus suits well those who are to us--as we to them--virtually deaf and +dumb. Its object words are all represented in pictures. Its lessons are +so arranged that the advance involves a perpetual review, and thus +fastens in the memory what has been acquired. This is particularly +desirable in the case of the Chinese, because the methods of teaching in +China are so utterly diverse from ours. Teaching that turns back is in +no favor with the average Chinaman. He wants you to pronounce the words +and let him pronounce them after you as fast as possible. Go over it two +or three times, very much as if you were teaching a parrot to speak, and +then let him try himself. He is impatient of protracted explanations. +What he wants is _sounds_; the more of them the better. After he has got +the sounds, he will be willing to take the meaning they convey. One +beauty of this book is, that it conveys the meaning through the eye, and +keeps pupils reviewing without their knowing it. The teacher is in +danger of becoming impatient with this Chinese method, for we _know_ +that our way of teaching is better. But remember that the end you have +in view is not the most effective instruction in English, but the +leading of the soul to Christ; and you can be content with a poorer +method of doing the former, if thereby you can keep within reach that +lost, but blood-bought soul. Another good point in this little book is, +that there is just about enough in it concerning God and Christ to give +the teacher an occasional opportunity to preach Jesus, without +frightening the pupil away by too abrupt a "setting forth of strange +gods." And, finally, this one Reader well studied will place the pupil +where you can safely commend to him the New Testament as the cheapest +and the best book to take next. + +5. Instead of opening exercises have _closing ones_, as extended and as +interesting as possible. Have pictures selected from the Sunday-school +rolls, and, at each session, make one of these the subject of a little +gospel-talk. Ask the pupil best versed in English to be your +interpreter, and use such English as he can understand. And, even though +you have no interpreter, five minutes given to a Bible story will not be +lost, if you have a picture that is apt and suggestive. + +Then _sing_ the gospel to them, asking them to _read_ the verse after +you, word by word, and then sing it with you. I will gladly supply, at +bare cost, Song Rolls in Chinese, containing familiar gospel hymns +translated into Chinese and so conformed in metre to the English +original that the time remains unchanged, and the teachers can sing the +English words, if desirable, while the Chinese use their own. There is +no more effective preaching of the gospel than that in song. + +6. The Sunday-school, at its best, needs to be supplemented by some sort +of week-day work. The Chinese Sunday-schools of California, though +started _with great eclat_, would long ago have perished utterly, but +for the mission schools whose work knows no cessation. Our Christian +Chinese are now so widely scattered that it seems as though there could +scarcely be anywhere Eastward a city of considerable size without at +least one of them. If there is one, he will hear of your Sunday-school +and will be there. Utilize him to the utmost. Make a missionary out of +him. And it seems to me that the _evangelistic work_ which we have been +doing--imperfectly as yet--in California, ought to be extended to the +Eastern cities, and that among our Christian Chinese some ought to be +appointed to this work, spending (say) a month in each city where any +considerable number of Chinese are found, endeavoring to reap the +harvests that are ready, and to organize for Christian work whatever +converted Chinese he may find. Already, without any such special agency, +our "Congregational Association of Christian Chinese" reports one +"branch" with sixteen members, in Brooklyn. I am sure it would be well, +if the same thing, or something similar, were organized elsewhere. + +7. Finally, I must caution the American workers against too ready an +acceptance of pious talk on the part of their Chinese pupils as an +evidence of real piety. Grievous disappointments, involving reproach to +Christ and to all missionary work, sometimes grow out of this. Herein +consists, in part, the benefit which would attend the visits of reliable +Chinese evangelists. They would "take forth the precious from the vile" +(Jer. 15:19), and would give to the American workers not only much +greater results of their labors, but a surer confidence in such as they +have. + + * * * * * + + +BUREAU OF WOMAN'S WORK. + +MISS D.E.

DE FOREST. + +Mobile welcomed the Woman's Missionary Association of Alabama at its +twelfth annual meeting, March 31st. A well arranged programme, with +reports from the eight auxiliaries, filled with interest a three hours' +session. Necessarily much of the work in these local societies must be +for building up the church, helping toward the minister's salary and +caring for the destitute in the immediate vicinity; but it was most +encouraging to note that aside from this, work had been done for the +foreign field through the American Board and for the Home Missionary +Society, while several societies had contributed toward the support of a +teacher at Fort Berthold, Dakota, under the American Missionary +Association. Organizations were reported among the women, young women +and girls, with one society of King's Sons, who are interested in the +foreign field. The Penny Plan had been tried with much success by one +society of girls. This band has given during the year forty-five dollars +for foreign, home and local work. + +Interesting and practical papers were read upon "Africa and our duty to +it," "Systematic Work in our Local Societies," and "Prohibition: our +Relation to the Movement." + +Miss Emerson, providentially present, brought the greetings of the +American Missionary Association, cheering and encouraging all with her +helpful and inspiring words. Changes in the Constitution seeming +desirable, they were suggested and adopted at this meeting. The name is +changed from Woman's Missionary Association to Woman's Missionary Union, +thus bringing the society into line with similar organizations in +Northern States. + +Under the new wording, local societies may work for any branch of +missions, home or foreign, contributions being sent through the +established agencies of the Congregational churches. By thus broadening +the field, it is hoped that more and better work will be done, and that +an intelligent interest will be created in many branches of the Master's +work. + +The Union adjourned to meet in Marion, one year hence. + + * * * * * + + +FOR THE CHILDREN. + + + * * * * * + + +A LETTER FROM A TEACHER IN GEORGIA. + +DEAR CHILDREN: + +Would you not like to hear about some of the little black children in +our mission Sunday-school down here in the Southland? One of our +scholars, a certain ragged boy, was for many weeks among the missing. A +few Sundays later, one of the first arrivals was master James, but he +was so decently clad that I did not recognize him, and was obliged to +inquire his name. A blue jacket, much too large for him, and ornamented +with brass buttons, gave him a very distinguished air, but we soon +learned that clothes do not always make the man, for time has proven him +not as worthy as we thought. O, such a little scamp as he is! and yet so +full of good nature in his mischief, that it is not easy to scold him +for naughtiness. Living only across the lane, he runs in and out as much +as he pleases, and if one starts after him, he is often found just +outside on the step, peeping through a crack, and grinning at authority. +He is simply irrepressible, as a little incident will show you. One day, +as the Superintendent was speaking of the collection, a little boy said +he had no money. "_Aw!_ ye've got yer pocket _cram_ full," was the +comment of the boy with brass buttons. It was said for the benefit of +all present, and in no modest tone. + +You have not heard, I believe, about the three little boys I call "my +babies." They are yet in dresses, and as cunning as can be, very regular +in attendance. Harry, Eddie, and--well I must tell you about the other +name. Down here, many nick-names are used, such as son, bubba, or boysa +for the boys, and sister or missy for the little girls. When this little +fellow was asked his name, he very bashfully said, "Son." "But you have +some other name?" If he knew any other, he was afraid to speak, so I +asked whether anyone present knew his name. A little girl called out "He +is Son Anderson _Baby_ Boy," and now I always use the four words when +speaking to or of him. We are very good friends, but he has doubted my +sincerity since one time when I ventured to examine a small brown pipe +held tightly in his hand. It proved to be chocolate candy, and as he did +not choose to risk his treasure with me, he put down his little mouth, +and took in not only the candy, but my finger as well. He is quite shy +of me now, evidently fearing that some of his rights will be denied. + +Mordecai is an unruly specimen, and then there is Simeon, who never +fails to have an answer ready. His favorite one is, "Be humble, and ever +mindful of death." I suppose he learned it in the catechism, for he +rarely fails to give it when any question is asked concerning duty to +God or man. When we had the lesson about "The Sick of the Palsy," his +class were asked what they would do if they had a sick friend who was +unable to walk to a physician, and had no horse. "I'd get some mare and +tote him," was Simeon's original thought, and he did not know the story +either. It always seems as if I had just begun to write when time and +space warn me to stop, so now good-by. + +AN A.M.A. TEACHER. + + * * * * * + + +RECEIPTS FOR APRIL, 1889. + + +MAINE, $362.69. + +Augusta.

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 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.

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.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf. + + +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.

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://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + +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://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/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/16141.zip b/16141.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..91af420 --- /dev/null +++ b/16141.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.
