+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. 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. MOSS.

+NOTES FROM NEW ENGLAND.
+
+BY REV. 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?

+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."

+
+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."--

+
+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.

+
+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.

+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.

+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.8.  You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4

+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:

+
+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.
