B.F. +Ousley, now of the East Central Africa Mission. The missionaries there +have already reduced the language to writing, having formed a vocabulary +of over three thousand words, and from it have printed a few books. +Among them, is the one whose title appears above. It is a translation of +"The Story of the Gospel," in a little volume of two hundred and six +pages. We have read it with great interest so far as we have been able +to understand its dialect. Within our comprehension we find Jesu, the +one word in all languages for all people, Simone Petro, Johane, Marta, +Maria, and Lazaru and many other such proper names. We congratulate our +young people at the South that so soon they have a representative +performing such literary work for the people of Africa. Much of such +work seems drudgery, but it is necessary to opening the light of life to +the people who sit in darkness. A booklet in the same language gives a +catechism and some of the songs of the gospel, ten of which are +translations by Mr. Ousley of some of the dearest of the gospel songs.</p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a name="THE_SOUTH" id="THE_SOUTH"></a>THE SOUTH.</h2> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a name="WHAT_I_FOUND_IN_THE_CUMBERLAND_MOUNTAINS" id="WHAT_I_FOUND_IN_THE_CUMBERLAND_MOUNTAINS"></a>WHAT I FOUND IN THE CUMBERLAND MOUNTAINS.</h2> + +<h4>BY REV. C.W. SHELTON.</h4> + +<p>First. There are living in this mountain country two millions of white +people, until recently isolated from, and untouched by, the civilization +of which we are so proud. No centennial anniversary commemorates their +growth in wealth and intellect. As their fathers lived, so until +recently, have they. One hundred years have witnessed but little +progress, almost no change, in their condition. The open fire-place, the +spinning-wheel and the home-spun jeans are familiar sights. Forgotten by +the rest of the world, they, in turn, forget that beyond these mountain +peaks, marking the limit of view and generally the limit of interest, a +nation has pressed forward to take its place among the foremost of the +earth. And yet no color line has excluded, no reservation boundary +separated, this people from their fellow countrymen. Their lack of +energy and the stagnation of their minds, is the explanation of this +condition of things.</p> + +<p>Secondly. I found this mountain people naturally American; in deepest +sympathy with our free government; loyal to the old flag in the hour of +its greatest danger; fighting, suffering, dying, that the Union might be +preserved. To one who has spent any length of time on our western +prairies settled so largely with an emigrant people, the great +difference between the American <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_214" id="Page_214"></a>[214]</span>born and educated people of the +mountains, and the naturalized American of the prairie, constantly +emphasizes itself. Here no new language has to be acquired, no new form +of government understood. A common interest, a common sympathy, a mother +country, binds one at once to this people as it never can to the +American importation which is found at the West.</p> + +<p>Thirdly. I found homes and a home life, or rather the want of it, which +one would hardly believe possible among a white population in this +country.</p> + +<p>The following illustrations are correct representations of what I +found to be average mountain cabins. Seldom do they contain more than +two, often only one, room. A single window, an open fire-place, and a +few home-made articles of furniture, comprise the whole. The home is +begun when its founders are yet children. Ignorant and poor, the boy +has "took up" with the girl, and it may be they are legally married. A +building-bee is announced, a little cabin erected, a few pigs bought +or given, a few trees girdled, some corn planted, in so crude and +shiftless a way that even an Indian, in his first attempts at farming, +would be ashamed to own it, and home life is begun. Into this home of +poverty and ignorance come the children. The families are +large—eight, ten, twelve, and sometimes more. The mother is too +ignorant herself to instruct, and had she the ability, neither time +nor strength <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_215" id="Page_215"></a>[215]</span>to accomplish it are at her command. Life to her is a +struggle. At twenty she looks thirty-five, at thirty-five she is old. +Always she has a tired, hopeless expression, which simply to look at +almost starts the tears. The children have something of the same +expression; the babies even seem to realize that it is a sober, sad +world they have come into. I do not remember seeing a laughing, cooing +baby in all the cabins I visited.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 500px;"> +<img src="images/img1.jpg" width="500" height="419" alt="MOUNTAIN CABIN." title="" /> +<span class="caption">MOUNTAIN CABIN.<br /></span> +</div> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 492px;"> +<img src="images/img2.jpg" width="492" height="376" alt="MOUNTAIN CABIN." title="" /> +<span class="caption">MOUNTAIN CABIN.<br /></span> +</div> + +<p>Educationally, I found this people far below the emigrant on the +prairie. Seventy per cent. of the whole two millions cannot read or +write. The schools are the poorest. The school houses are built of logs; +a hole is cut for the window; the ground serves for a floor, slabs for +seats, and the teacher is strictly in keeping with all.

The rivers are carrying these logs by the +thousands to the immense mills, which in turn are making the large +towns, toward which already the railroad is hastening.</p> + +<p>Engineering skill is bridging streams, crossing valleys, climbing +mountains or piercing them through.

A new life is beginning, a new future, +opening.</p> + +<p>And as a result of all this, I found a field of missionary work, which +for opportunity and need has perhaps no equal in our country. Amidst all +this change, a people, startled from their long separation, find +themselves suddenly called to face, to compete with, to become a part +of, our life, our intellectual advancement; to move with our energy, and +work with our skill. Realizing their weakness, suddenly roused by their +necessity, they are sending <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_217" id="Page_217"></a>[217]</span>across their valleys and over their +mountains the Macedonian cry, "Come over and help us!" Our duty to this +people, whether we look at it from the standpoint of the Christian or +the citizen, is beyond the measure of words.</p> + +<p>Here, as everywhere in the South, I found that the American Missionary +Association, as representative of our Northern Christian sympathy, was +at work. Its normal schools, fitting teachers to go out and displace the +bare-footed, ignorant, snuff-stick-chewing school mistresses; its +churches, fitting mothers and fathers to enter upon their duties +conscious of their responsibility; and its missionaries, bringing in an +intelligent Christian life, and driving the curse of the country— +intemperance—out of the home, community and the county, are thus +meeting the need, and answering the cry, and fulfilling the obligations. +Below is a cut of one of the buildings of the Academy at Williamsburg, +Ky., recently erected among these people.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 490px;"> +<img src="images/img4.jpg" width="490" height="376" alt="WILLIAMSBURG ACADEMY, KY." title="" /> +<span class="caption">WILLIAMSBURG ACADEMY, KY.<br /></span> +</div> + +<p>I found one worker where the field called for a dozen; one school where +we should have twenty; one church where we should have a hundred; one +scholar received into an over-crowded school house, when its doors +should open to scores.

Fisk University and other such institutions, filled as they will +be by young men of every class and color, will be strongholds of our New +Testament faith and polity. Such a Commencement as was observed at Fisk +this year does much to bring about that blessed day. This Commencement +week, beginning Thursday, June sixth, and closing the evening of June +twelfth, was crowded with literary and musical exercises of high order. +President E.M. Cravath, D.D., delivered the baccalaureate sermon, taking +for his subject, "Building on the Rock." It was a sermon of great power. +Rev. Dr. Gray, a Southern Episcopal clergyman, preached the missionary +sermon. On Thursday evening, came "The Senior Preparatory Exhibition." +On June seventh, tenth and eleventh, the various class examinations were +held, and in the evening of Friday the seventh, the anniversary +exercises of the Literary Societies were given. There are three healthy +and vigorous societies at Fisk, and it was difficult to tell which of +the three gave the best evidence of the superior quality of its drill, +in the exercises presented.</p> + +<p>The Normal Department graduated a class of four, each presenting an +essay. Rev. C.W. Hiatt, of Cleveland, Ohio, delivered the address at the +close of the exercises of the normal department, taking for his subject +"Earnest Living," and the address was spoken of with high appreciation +by those who heard it.</p> + +<p>The graduating exercises of the Collegiate Department were of unusual +interest. There was not a poor oration or essay presented. The breadth +of training given to the students at Fisk was especially noticeable in +the wide range of subjects selected.</p> + +<p>The anniversary of the Alumni Association gave evidence that the +graduates of Fisk are true to the instruction of that institution, when +they take up their work in the world. Sixty-seven have graduated from +this institution; <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_219" id="Page_219"></a>[219]</span>forty-two are teachers; eight, ministers; three, +doctors; two, editors; two, foreign missionaries; eight, lawyers; one is +a student; and one a real estate agent. Pretty good showing for Fisk!</p> + +<p>The annual oration was delivered by the writer, subject, "The Student's +Workshop, Tools and Work."</p> + +<p>The rendering of the Hallelujah Chorus by the full choir of trained +singers was especially fine, and reflected great credit upon the +director.</p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a name="TALLADEGA_COLLEGE_TALLADEGA_ALA" id="TALLADEGA_COLLEGE_TALLADEGA_ALA"></a>TALLADEGA COLLEGE, TALLADEGA, ALA.</h2> + +<h4>BY MRS. H.S. DEFOREST.</h4> + +<p>Talladega College observed its nineteenth anniversary June 9th to 13th. +The large gathering of students, alumni and friends, the enthusiasm and +interest manifested, and the report of what has been accomplished during +the past decade, showed the hold it has obtained on the hearts of the +people.</p> + +<p>The exhibitions of Cassady School, which is the feeder for the higher +grades, were held the week previous. Large and delighted audiences +listened to the creditable performances of the young people, who showed +in their parts the faithful work of teachers.</p> + +<p>On Sabbath morning, the baccalaureate sermon was preached by Secretary +C.J. Ryder, of Boston. Many valuable and practical lessons for the +graduating class were drawn from his somewhat unique text, "And falling +into a place where two seas met," Acts 27:41. Various currents in life +will bear us hither and thither unless we are founded upon the rock and +there abide. The closing words telling of the inscription upon an +ancient cross, <i>teneo et tenior</i>, will long abide as an inspiration and +help with those who heard.</p> + +<p>At 4 P.M. the Sabbath-school prayer meeting gathered together students +and teachers in a tender farewell, and at night the missionary sermon +was preached by Rev. E.J. Penney, of Selma.</p> + +<p>The examinations of Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday gave evidence of +thorough work and of painstaking study.</p> + +<p>On Wednesday night, four young men, graduates of the Theological +Department, were ordained. The sermon was preached by Rev. A.F. Beard, +D.D., the ordaining prayer offered by the President, a most appropriate +charge given by Pastor Snell of Birmingham, and the right hand by the +Moderator, Rev. J.R. Sims, of Shelby Iron Works.</p> + +<p>The graduating exercises were held on Thursday morning. Six students +received diplomas from the Normal Course, and five were graduated from +the Theological Department. Essays and orations showed thought and +originality, and were well delivered. If all the noble sentiments +expressed are carried out in the lives of the speakers, a class has gone +out from our walls who will make a stand for truth and righteousness, +manly men and faithful womanly women.</p> + +<p>After the conferring of diplomas and the awarding of prizes, President +DeForest gave a <i>resumé</i> of the growth of the college during the ten +years <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_220" id="Page_220"></a>[220]</span>of his connection with it. The number of students has increased +from 203 to 427, instructors from 9 to 18. In this time, theological +graduates have passed from 7 to 28, and normal from 18 to 64.</p> + +<p>The alumni dinner was partaken of with relish by graduates and invited +guests, and after the physical man had been refreshed an intellectual +feast was spread. Older graduates testified to their indebtedness to the +College which by one, quoting the words of another, was said to be "de +main spring ob de fly wheel ob de whole conjunction." Visiting friends +spoke of their interest and satisfaction in the work of the school, and +Drs. Beard and Haygood, with appreciative and hopeful words, fittingly +closed the festivities.</p> + +<p>On Thursday night, Dr. A.G. Haygood, Secretary of the Slater Fund, the +steadfast friend of the black man, gave an address. His eloquence, wit +and earnestness held a large audience in close attention for more than +an hour, and he left with them much matter for thought.</p> + +<p>Teachers and pupils have now said good-bye and college halls are vacant, +but the work of the year will bear fruit as scores of students go out to +the labors of vacation in the dark and needy districts of the South.</p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a name="STRAIGHT_UNIVERSITY_NEW_ORLEANS_LA" id="STRAIGHT_UNIVERSITY_NEW_ORLEANS_LA"></a>STRAIGHT UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS, LA.</h2> + +<h4>BY PRESIDENT R.C. HITCHCOCK.</h4> + +<p>The interest shown by the public in the annual exercises of this school +increases each year, and for those of more general nature it is quite +impossible to obtain a room large enough to accommodate the audience +that assembles.</p> + +<p>The baccalaureate sermon was preached on Sunday night by President +Hitchcock at Central Church. On Monday night, the Sumner and +Philomathean Literary Societies and the Band of Mercy held their +anniversary meeting, and listened to a very interesting lecture on "Life +at a German University," by Rev. G.W. Henderson. Wednesday night, came +the annual concert and exhibition. This has for two or three years +gradually taken more and more the character of an exhibit of the +gymnastic exercises, singing, etc., from each grade, and with so large a +school, gives a long programme; but since people here have learned that +at Straight University, when the appointed time comes the exercises +begin, every spot where a chair could be put in an aisle, or a foot +stand, besides all the pews both below and in the spacious galleries of +Central, one of the largest churches in the city, was occupied at the +moment assigned for opening, and the attention was grand until the very +last.</p> + +<p>On Thursday night, the Alumni Association met at the University Chapel +for election of officers, adjourning later to the parlors for a social +meeting. These Alumni meetings grow each year in numbers, interest and +importance. Papers were read by several members, the usual history, +prophecy and poem were given, remarks were made by others and some good +music was rendered. <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_221" id="Page_221"></a>[221]</span>Many who could not come sent interesting letters. +Friday night was the <i>great</i> occasion. The crowd was no less than on +Wednesday night, and that such an audience should sit, giving close +attention, from 7:30 to 11:30, to the orations and essays of the +graduates, with no sign of weariness, was to me a wonderful thing and +showed a deep and heart-felt interest, in the community, for Christian +education, which is grandly encouraging.</p> + +<p>Two of the graduates were from Mexico, one from Mississippi, one from +Plaquemines Parish, one from Baton Rouge and five from this city, the +proportion from the city being larger than usual.</p> + +<p>Members of the Trustee Board and others who have heard these exercises +for many years, without hesitation pronounce them as a whole far better +than those of any previous year. It is certain that each year there is +shown a marked advancement in general intelligence and culture, and in +the depth and arrangement of thought. The venerable Judge Whittaker, who +seldom leaves his home at night, was on the platform, and at the close +of the valedictory, which was given by Leonidas Burbridge, of +Greenville, Miss., he jumped from his chair, seized the young man by the +hand and expressed his wonder and gratification at all he had heard and +seen, saying that in all his fifty years of life in New Orleans he had +seen nothing that so filled his heart with emotions of astonishment and +joy.</p> + +<p>I neglected to speak of the meeting on Sunday morning, May 26th, of the +College Y.M.C.A., which has had a very prosperous year. The Association +was addressed by Mr. Fred S. Hitchcock on Y.M.C.A. work in the great +cities, and by Mr. Perry on College Y.M.C.A. work. The year has been a +good one, notwithstanding many adverse circumstances. The establishment +of a regular graded course of study, from the lowest primary grades to +the college, and close adherence to such course are being felt more and +more each year. More than half the graduates of this year began their +education in the school, and all interested are proud of them. There is +all along a marked difference between those who have come through our +own primary schools and others equally capable who have had no +systematic early training. For the first time since the course of study +was adopted, every class this year has thoroughly completed the work +assigned, and in most cases reviewed it.</p> + +<p>The State has been in a condition of great excitement during most of the +year, nearly one-half the parishes being under a complete reign of +terror, and it has been a frequent thing to see one of our students from +the country, especially from the southern parishes, in tears in +consequence of the intelligence of some friend, father or brother +perhaps, having been the victim of some dastardly outrage from the +"regulators." Tales of sorrow and suffering could easily be gathered to +fill volumes. Iberia, Terrebonne and Lafayette parishes have been +especially noted as under this reign of terror, and from these we have +many pupils. Three sisters of Sammy Wakefield, who was shot at New +Iberia, are in our school, and many others closely connected <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_222" id="Page_222"></a>[222]</span>with +suffering families. It has been very difficult for the colored people to +get a living, and the sacrifices they make to keep the children in +school are wonderful.</p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a name="LE_MOYNE_NORMAL_INSTITUTE_MEMPHIS_TENN" id="LE_MOYNE_NORMAL_INSTITUTE_MEMPHIS_TENN"></a>LE MOYNE NORMAL INSTITUTE, MEMPHIS, TENN.</h2> + +<h4>BY PROF.

Recalling sixteen years +of experience in connection with this work, I can fix upon scarcely a +single event or circumstance that has not been made to conduce to the +advancement of our work and influence in the community, and looking over +results in all directions, they have surpassed the dreams and +expectations of the most hopeful.</p> + +<p>The year past has been a remarkable one in our history. Our attendance +has varied little from four hundred pupils in all grades of the twelve +years' course, while our enrollment for the year has reached five +hundred and twenty different pupils.</p> + +<p>Every interest of the school has been prospered and greatly blessed and +strengthened. The utmost harmony and earnestness has marked the work of +the year, both among teachers and pupils. During the past session, as +many as sixty of our pupils have started out in the Christian life, +giving evidence of change of heart and an earnest purpose to live for +Christ and His work in the world. We rejoice over this more than over +all other results of our year's work.</p> + +<p>The whole spirit and tone of our work has been such that even our trials +and losses, from fire and from breaks in our working force, have seemed +to be turned to means of blessing and sources of strength. Our trials +and difficulties have been to us opportunities. We look forward +hopefully to the future, as we look thankfully back to the past.</p> + +<p>Our partially destroyed building, from the fire of March 3d, is rebuilt +and greatly improved. We hope our corps of instructors, so uniformly +faithful in the discharge of duty, may remain unbroken, the same for the +coming year.</p> + +<p>At the close of the term, the promotions were made in all grades by the +principal, and the pupils given the "forms" they are to occupy the +coming year. In truth, the formal "Commencement" for the year was made +at the close of this session.

R.C. BEDFORD.</h4> + +<p>Brewton is the county seat of Escambia County, Alabama. It is on the +Louisville & Nashville Railroad, one hundred and six miles north of +Montgomery, and seventy-four north of Mobile. It has a population of +about two thousand five hundred, and is quite thrifty. Alco is a mile +and a half further south, on the same road, and is a nice little village +of five or six hundred people, that has grown up within the last three +years, and almost wholly out of the Peters Lumber Company. The property +of the Company consists of one of the largest and finest mills in the +South, with nearly 200,000 acres of yellow pine surrounding it. Some +three hundred colored men, most of them with families, are employed in +the various operations of the mills. Mr. Peters is engaged most of the +time in his large lumber and salt interests at Manistee, Mich., but +comes South two or three times a year to look after the business at +Alco. From the first, it was the purpose of the Company to do something +to improve the church and school facilities of the colored people, and +last spring, while Mrs. Peters was spending a few weeks at Alco, she had +a building 35x60 erected, and nicely arranged for church and school +purposes. This she turned over to the American Missionary Association, +and they at once sent down Rev. W.P. Hamilton, of Talladega, to open a +school and begin preaching. The second Sunday in June, he was joined by +Prof. G.W. Andrews, of Talladega, Rev. R.C. Bedford, of Montgomery, and +Rev. F.G. Ragland and Deacon Godbold of Mobile, to assist him in +dedicating the building.</p> + +<p>Though but little was known of Congregationalism in that part of the +country, the services were entered into most heartily by all classes of +the people. Most of the ministers at Brewton, in charge of colored +churches, closed their places of worship and joined with us, partaking +in the services, and speaking with great delight of the coming of an +educated preacher and teacher among them.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_224" id="Page_224"></a>[224]</span>Mr. Hamilton starts off with over fifty pupils in Sunday and day school, +and hopes soon to have members enough so that he can take steps to call +a council and organize a church. The brethren of Alabama are greatly +encouraged by this movement. Heretofore we have had no church or school +between Montgomery and Mobile, one hundred and eighty miles. Now the +distance is divided, Alco standing about half way between the two +places.</p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a name="CHILDRENS_DAY" id="CHILDRENS_DAY"></a>CHILDREN'S DAY.</h2> + +<h4>BY REV. J.E. SMITH.</h4> + +<p>The 9th of June last was a grand day for the young people in the First +Congregational Church at Chattanooga. The church was tastefully +decorated with appropriate Scripture mottoes, choice evergreens, +beautiful flowers and sweet singing canaries. There was present a large +number of adults and a larger number of clean, sweet, hopeful children, +and many laughing, cooing babes in the arms of their Christian parents, +who like faithful Hannah and good Mary of old, had brought their babes +to the house of God to present them to the Lord. After the rendering of +a beautiful voluntary by the organist, the whole congregation joined in +singing that grand hymn, "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty!" The +pastor then read a few passages of Scripture selected for the occasion, +giving a short comment on the same, and prayed for God's blessing on the +young. While the congregation joined heartily in singing, "Heavenly +Father, send Thy blessing, On Thy children gathered here," Christian +parents who desired to present their offspring to the Lord, having been +invited, came forward and stood before the altar with their little ones +in their arms. Six bright-eyed, innocent babes were, on the faith of +their believing parents, consecrated to God in the Christian ordinance +of infant baptism. It was a most beautiful, pleasing and impressive +service.</p> + +<p>After singing, "Take my life and let it be, Consecrated, Lord, to Thee," +the pastor invited all children, calling them by name, who were ten +years of age and had been baptized in the church when infants, to come +forward. The church, then, through its pastor, at a cost of twenty-three +dollars, presented to each child, (nineteen in number) a beautiful, +well-bound copy of the Bible, with the following written on the fly +leaf: "This Bible was presented to —— by the First Congregational +Church at Chattanooga, in commemoration of his infant consecration to +God at her sacred altar, by his Christian parents. John 5:39."</p> + +<p>After taking a collection of ten dollars and twenty-four cents for the +Congregational Sunday-school and Publishing Society, we sang "God be +with you till we meet again," and the benediction was pronounced. Thus, +a very interesting and we trust profitable service of an hour and twenty +minutes was ended.</p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_225" id="Page_225"></a>[225]</span> +<h2><a name="THE_INDIANS" id="THE_INDIANS"></a>THE INDIANS.</h2> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a name="LETTER_FROM_MISS_COLLINS" id="LETTER_FROM_MISS_COLLINS"></a>LETTER FROM MISS COLLINS.</h2> + +<p>No facts in this field can be of more interest to the readers of the +MISSIONARY than those contained in the following thrilling account of +the conversion of three young Indians in Miss Collins' mission field. We +give the facts as written by this self-sacrificing missionary.</p> + +<p>Last Sabbath, Mr. Riggs came up from Oahe and we had communion, and +there were five children baptized and seven grown people, and seven more +were examined and advised to wait till the next communion. It was a most +interesting season.</p> + +<p>Three of the young men were the leaders in the Indian dance. They have +always been the head ones in all Indian customs. A year ago, one of them +said in the dance that he should follow the Indian customs a year +longer—give himself up to them wholly and try to be satisfied, and if +he had in his heart the same unsatisfied feeling, the same longing, that +he then had, he should throw it all away.</p> + +<p>On last New Year's day, the same young man, "Huntington Wolcott," came +to me and said—"Last night I arose in the dance and told them that I +had given the old customs and the old Indians a fair trial, and that +they did not satisfy, now I should leave them forever and give myself to +God, and if any others were ready to follow to arise and so make it +known. The other two leaders arose, stood silently a moment, and walked +out." From that time they have given themselves up to singing, praying +and studying the Bible. They had, for two years, been halting between +two opinions, attending the school, church, etc., and the Indian feasts +and dances, too. These three having come out so boldly on God's side, +has made a great change in our work here.</p> + +<p>Poor old Running-Antelope feels very sad. It is his desire to keep the +young men from learning Christianity and civilization as long as he can. +He wants them to have everything in common, and to feel that for an +individual to accumulate anything is a disgrace. As long as they feel +so, of course squalor and suffering will be the natural consequences.</p> + +<p>The young men are working hard to build up homes and to accumulate +something for their families during the winter. One young man has cut +logs and is building a house. I try to teach them that long prayers and +loud singing is not all of Christianity—that however regularly a man +attends to his church duties, if he fails to provide for his family, his +religion is vain; and if he gives all his goods to his friends and lets +his wife and children cry for bread, that their cries will reach the +ears of God, and his prayers and hymns will be lost in this round of +wailing of the hungry. All this is very different from their old Indian +doctrine and hard to understand.</p> + +<p>Elias, our native teacher, has formed a class of young men who meet +<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_226" id="Page_226"></a>[226]</span>every Tuesday night and talk and pray and sing together, and he directs +their thought. I think it will prove very helpful. Then on Thursday +night I have my Bible class, which now numbers about twenty. It is +formed of the young men and women who wish to follow Christ's example, +and band themselves together to learn of him. It has been the <i>training +school</i> of the young Christians.</p> + +<hr style='width: 45%;' /> + +<p>What could be more encouraging than such facts as these? An Indian +unattended by any white person, dissatisfied with the religion of his +fathers, walks out of heathenism; out of sympathy and connection with +his tribe; out of the religion and customs of his fathers and into the +customs of civilized life, into the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ! In +the words of that quaint old Negro hymn, let those who so earnestly +desire the conversion of the Pagans in America exhort one another to +"Pray on: Pray on."</p> + +<div class="right">C.J.R.</div> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a name="THE_RAMONA_INDIAN_SCHOOL" id="THE_RAMONA_INDIAN_SCHOOL"></a>THE RAMONA INDIAN SCHOOL.</h2> + +<h4>BY DISTRICT SECRETARY JOS. E. ROY.</h4> + +<p>This is a department of the University of New Mexico at Santa Fé, +occupying separate buildings and a separate locality, and managed by the +American Missionary Association. A recent visit to the school it may be +worth while to report. It is for the Apache Indians and the youth who +are gathered into it are of the Jiccarrilla band. Their reservation is +about two hundred miles west, and is reached by railroad or by pony +transportation. The teachers deem it better to have the school some +distance from the people so as to make its impression the more positive, +and yet near enough for the parents to visit their children occasionally +while at school. This keeps up the interest and prevents the children +from being educated away from their elders. Two good sized buildings are +used. In one there are the school rooms, the accommodations for the +teachers, and the lodgings for the boys. In the other, under a matron, +there are lodgings for the girls, work rooms for the same, and the +boarding department for all. The Indian girls do the cooking for the +establishment. I saw them getting dinner and I saw many loaves of +beautiful white bread made by them. In their work shop they make their +own clothes. The boys, under the lead of the principal, Prof. Elmore +Chase, work at cobbling, making ditches and cultivating the soil, and +also do something with carpenter's tools. The Government pays over a +hundred dollars a year for each student toward the expense of board, +clothes, etc. The American Missionary Association appoints the teachers +and directs the school. The scholars, thirty in all, have made very +creditable progress in their studies, considering the short time the +school has been in operation, from three to four years. Prof. Whipple, +now of Wheaton College, who for a time was principal of the Ramona, +testifies: "I never saw on an average such aptness, docility and +faithfulness in school and industrial <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_227" id="Page_227"></a>[227]</span>work." The religious influence +of the school has not been interfered with by the Government. I heard +the scholars recite with promptness and evident understanding the +Twenty third Psalm, the Beatitudes, the Commandments, the Lord's +Prayer, and portions of a catechism introductory to the Westminster +Shorter. Daily worship is maintained among them, the Sunday-school +lesson is thoroughly taught, while the Bible is freely used in the +school. The Professor thought that several of the youth gave such +evidence of an experience of grace as would satisfy us concerning +white children. I was permitted to see half a dozen letters written by +the scholars to be sent to their parents and brothers and sisters, +without the supervision of their teachers, in which were many +expressions of love for the Saviour and the Bible, and of a desire +that their friends at home should be made acquainted with the same, +and the purpose, when they should go home, to communicate those good +things.</p> + +<p>The following are four of those letters:</p> + + +<div class="blockquot"> +<div class="right">RAMONA INDIAN SCHOOL, SANTA FÉ, NEW MEXICO.<br /> +June 16, 1889.</div> + +<p><i>My Dear Father:</i></p> + +<p>I am very well and happy all the time.

W.C. POND, D.D.</h4> + +<p>Early on Monday morning, June 17th, I left home for a visit to our +missions at Oroville and Marysville. I reached Oroville at about 7:30 +P.M. As soon as possible I was at the Mission House, where warmest +greetings from teacher and pupils awaited me. The lessons of the evening +received our first attention, for it is a principle with us that each +scholar shall have the English lesson promised him, whoever may be +present and whatever else we may desire to do. This is the demand of +good faith, and not less of good policy. It is the English lesson that +holds them where the gospel can reach them, so that this we must never +forego.</p> + +<p>When all this was accomplished, those who could read with comparative +ease were gathered about a table for a sort of Bible reading, which I +proposed to give them, in the fifteenth chapter of Luke. This was the +manner of it: One of them read the first verse, being helped over the +hard words, then I explained it in as simple English as I could command; +then the reader translated both it and my explanation into Chinese, each +other pupil keeping watch to see whether what was said expressed the +ideas which he had received from me. At this time, we were much aided by +the co-operation <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_229" id="Page_229"></a>[229]</span>of Yong Jin, our missionary helper, whose translations +I could depend upon quite confidently, but I often give these readings +without such help, feeling quite sure that if six or eight have received +the <i>same</i> idea, they have received the one I meant to give. When we had +finished the first verse, a second pupil read the second verse with the +same method, and so on. Some felt unequal to the task of translating, +but most were willing to try, and most who tried succeeded strangely +well. I had intended to follow this with a few words of exhortation, but +just as we read the last verse, Yong Ack arrived. This is a brother who +was converted about a year ago. His daily work is that of a cook in a +way-side inn, about six (some said eight) miles from Oroville. He has +been accustomed to walk this distance, over a rough and dusty road, to +attend, not often the school, but the religious services of our mission. +He can seldom reach the Mission House before nine, but the meetings +begin when he arrives and continue till he is ready to start away. As +this brother was to be baptized on the following evening, the Bible +reading was suspended with a promise from me that I would speak from +these words the next evening, and we all addressed ourselves to a study +of the Confession and Covenant of our little Chinese Church at Oroville. +It was taken up clause by clause, read in English, explained, translated +into Chinese, and still further explained, till Yong Ack in particular, +and in a general way all the rest of them, professed to understand and +believe it all. When this was finished, we were well on towards 11 P.M., +and we closed the meeting with song and prayer.</p> + +<p>The day following was variously occupied, but in the evening we were all +at the Mission House again. The lessons were given, and then the table +was spread for the celebration of the Lord's Supper. Then came the +preaching, with Yong Jin interpreting, sentence by sentence. The topic— +the Shepherd seeking his lost sheep, followed by the story of the +prodigal son. One could not have asked a more attentive audience. The +presence and work of the Spirit were unmistakable. At length, a little +after nine, Yong Ack appeared. He had been over that road three times +that day, and expected, before morning to go over it again. But he +confessed no weariness either by word or by manner. He was bright, +wakeful, joyous. He confessed Christ, was baptized, and was welcomed +with gladness to the church, after which we gathered round the table of +the Lord.</p> + +<p>Wednesday and Thursday were spent in and about Marysville. Both Oroville +and Marysville are "hard fields." In both of them good work has been +done in days past, but the fruits from the seed sown have been widely +scattered, so that in each place but few Christians remain. Our Chinese +Church in Marysville, some years ago was reported—truthfully, I am +sure—as in proportion to its numbers and its means, the Banner Church +of the country for its contribution to Foreign Missions. But now only +one member, a deacon, resides in the place. He is a cook at one of the +hotels, and is unable to leave his work till about 8:30 P.M., but he +"holds the fort" sturdily, <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_230" id="Page_230"></a>[230]</span>bravely. He is an athletic man, full of +energy and courage, with, doubtless, some of the defects which usually +attend these qualities, but honest, earnest, consistent, determined.</p> + +<p>The first evening was a reproduction of that at Oroville, there being +also one believer to be baptized. On the second evening, in view of the +Lord's Supper and the baptism, our good deacon, as soon as his work was +done, was "all abroad" in Chinatown. Squad after squad he brought, and +seeing them seated, went out after more. When about 9:15 P.M., I +commenced my discourse, the room was packed. Oh, what joy it was, what +inspiration, to look into those eyes fixed closely upon me, and tell +them of the love of God in Christ! Yong Jin's quick, animated +interpretations of my sentences were not interruptions, but seemed to +urge me on. I am sure that the Spirit spoke through me to some hearts, +and that I shall see the fruits of that seed-sowing in the better world. +After the most careful and repeated statements as to what a partaking of +the bread and wine would mean, and as to the guilt of those who should +partake <i>without</i> meaning what they did, a goodly number, eight or nine, +I think, who had never before consented to be recognized as Christians, +did thus profess that they received Christ as Saviour and Lord. They did +it in the sight and in the midst of others who did not do it—did it +with a painstaking and an apparent determination which encourages my +hope that they will hold fast and be led on to clearer light and the +full day.</p> + +<p>Reaching home on Friday noon, I started for Petaluma on Saturday +morning. That evening was spent partly at the Mission House preaching +the word, and partly at the church preparing our pupils for the parts +they were to take in the anniversary exercises on the following evening. +Our brothers, Jee Gam and Lem Chung, were with me. I see that I have +already exhausted my space and venture only to add, that this +anniversary service was one of deep interest. The Congregational Church +at which it was held was crowded, auditors standing in the doors. All +the exercises by the pupils were well rendered. The address by Jee Gam +and the songs by Lem Chung seemed to win all hearts. The report of the +year's work at the school was more cheering than any we have been able +to make for years; the collection amounted to about sixty-five dollars, +and last and best of all, the gospel work done by our Chinese brethren +at the Mission House was the means of leading at least two, heretofore +undecided, to take their stand clearly and decisively as followers of +Christ.</p> + +<p>In a later letter, Dr. Pond adds:</p> + +<p>It seems that <i>three</i> instead of <i>two</i>, as I have it in my article, were +led to confess Christ at Petaluma last Sunday. One other was almost +persuaded, but said he must first send home to China the bones of his +father. (Matt. 8:21). Jee Gam explained to him that he could do that as +a <i>Christian</i>, without <i>worshiping</i> his father. But he could not be +persuaded. He is a very bright <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_231" id="Page_231"></a>[231]</span>and promising young man, and I hope and +pray that this wrong decision may not cost him his salvation.</p> + +<p>Jee Gam and Lum Chung were so wrought upon by what they saw and by what +God wrought by them at Petaluma, that they came back fired with a desire +to do something like it at our Central Mission House. This is what I +have long wished for, but could never seem to inspire the brethren with +courage to undertake. On Tuesday evening the first of a series of +meetings was held there. The room was crowded. Some scoffed, some tried +to seem indifferent, but <i>all heard</i> the word, and one took a stand +for Christ. The brethren take hold well, each one contriving to make +himself the center of a group of heathen, so as to go right to work in +the after-meeting. Pray for them.</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.

FLORA K. REGAL, OBERLIN, OHIO.</h4> + +<p>The local society will always have its active and its passive +membership. How to increase the latter from without, and how to transfer +recruits from the passive to the active list, are problems that have +taxed the ingenuity of not a few and have not infrequently been +abandoned as insoluble. It has so long been said, "This missionary work +always has to be carried on by a few," that the expression has come to +have something of the force of axiomatic truth which, of course, no one +dares assail. And so the missionary society lives on, decade after +decade, with less than a quarter of the women of the church on its list, +and of that quarter not more than one-fourth active members. How to +change these conditions, is the problem which confronts us.</p> + +<p>I.—It has not always been clear who should be included in the +membership, but with the broad scope given to our Home Missionary +Unions, its auxiliaries should include:</p> + +<p><i>First.</i>—Every woman who thinks that if she were living on some lonely +frontier and had for years heard no sermon, no public prayer, no songs +of praise, had no communion service, no Christian fellowship, she would +welcome the home missionary and all the sweet influences of the Gospel.</p> + +<p><i>Second.</i>—Every woman who thinks we owe it to the Freedwoman to put +into her life and home something of the sweetness and purity of our own; +to the Indian woman a sympathetic effort for her uplifting, in atonement +for a "Century of Dishonor."</p> + +<p><i>Third.</i>—Every woman who thinks that if she, or her sister or daughter, +were heroic enough to share the labors and sacrifices of a home +missionary, she ought to have some better place to live in than an old +grocery, a room over a saloon or the basement of a church.</p> + +<p><i>Fourth.</i>—Every woman who thinks that if she were an inmate of a Mormon +home she might not have grace to welcome the companionship of the +second, third or tenth woman who might be sealed by celestial marriage +to her husband.</p> + +<p><i>Fifth.</i>—Every woman who thinks there are worthy young men trying to +prepare themselves for ministerial or missionary work whose struggle +with poverty ought to be relieved.</p> + +<p><i>Sixth.</i>—Every woman who would welcome for her own children, if she +were living in some Godless community, the Sunday-school missionary and +the books, papers, lesson helps, prayers and Christian songs which make +the Sunday-school a place of blessed influences.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_233" id="Page_233"></a>[233]</span>If there be in any Christian church a woman who will respond to none of +these calls for service to the extent of a moderate annual membership +fee, say twenty-five cents, she has missed the true import of the Gospel +and has never entered into its most blessed privileges. Let us assume +that there is no such, but that rightly approached, every woman worthy a +place in the church will be willing to enroll herself into at least the +passive membership of the local society.</p> + +<p>II.—The management of this new membership, presumably uninformed, +indifferent, possibly prejudiced, will require familiar acquaintance +with our six benevolences, sympathy with them all, much practical +wisdom, good courage, and the spirit of I Corinthians, 13th chapter.</p> + +<p>The <i>President</i> must do more than preside at the meetings. She must plan +every detail; must know beforehand what hymns, what Scripture lesson, +who shall lead in singing and in prayer, what reports, what letters, +what original papers, what selections, what business. Everything must be +carefully planned and written down, yet there must be withal a certain +amount of elasticity of management, so that the timid question may be +answered, the objection removed, the enthusiasm expressed. The President +will welcome strangers and greet the diffident and neglected. She will +not be <i>surprised</i> at seeing anybody at the meeting. It was reasonably +to be expected.</p> + +<p>The <i>Secretary</i> will do more than keep the minutes of the meetings. She +will not forget the proper public announcement of the meetings and will +add special invitations to such as may not feel themselves included in +the general. She will send for such printed helps as are needed for use. +She will fill out distinctly and promptly such blanks as are needed for +Conference, State or other Reports, and her quarterly and annual +reports will be helpful from their information and their inspiration.</p> + +<p>The <i>Treasurer</i> will do more than passively receive what is brought to +her hands. She will see that no one is overlooked when a canvass is made +for any object; that pledges are redeemed; that the way is made easy for +the poor to give without embarrassment and the rich without ostentation. +She will see that all moneys are forwarded as designated and that <i>they +go through the State Treasury</i>.</p> + +<p>But the highest qualification any local officer can possess, is the +ability to transfer members from the passive to the active list. Some +practical hints toward this result maybe gathered from the following +suggestions:</p> + +<p>Aim at unity of effect for each meeting. Make some one of the six +benevolences the subject, and center everything—Scripture, hymn, +prayer, letter, paper, leaflet, about the single topic. Suppose it be +"Missions on our Western frontier." Ask some lady to prepare a fifteen +minutes' paper. Give out in addition six back numbers of the <i>Home +Missionary</i> to as many ladies, asking each to select a paragraph or +short article bearing directly on the subject and which she thinks will, +or ought to, interest the meeting. Let several of these ladies be chosen +from the passive list—the diffident or even the indifferent.<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_234" id="Page_234"></a>[234]</span>In +making their selections, they will perhaps have made their first +acquaintance with missionary magazines and will have learned something +about the heroism of our home missionaries. Moreover, they will have +participated in the exercises. This, repeated with variations, will give +them courage to speak, and intelligent thoughts to express. <i>They are on +the way to active participation.</i> Crown the exercises with a collection. +The leader must know how to kindle enthusiasm and put it to the tangible +proof.</p> + +<p>The subject for the next meeting may be some branch of the work of the +American Missionary Association, as "Indian Missions in Dakota." Assign +to some one a paper, an historical sketch. She will need books from the +missionary library. "Ten years among the Dakotas," and "Mary and I; or, +Life among the Sioux," (to which she would never think of going for help +unless informed that the Dakotas and Sioux are one.) She may also send +to Miss Emerson for further helps. Then, in addition, give out back +numbers of the <i>American Missionary</i> to two or three passive ladies, +asking them to make short selections concerning Indian missions—or let +one read Prof. G.F. Wright's leaflet—"Indian Missions as seen upon the +ground"—and another some missionary's letter. Call out expressions of +interest in the work—proofs of its success—etc., and ask if we ought +not to do something for its support. Give to everyone present a small +envelope with the request that it be brought to the next meeting with a +free will offering for Indian missions.</p> + +<p>The next meeting may be devoted to "Christian work among the Mormons," +using the "New West Reports," "The Gleaner," newspaper extracts, +missionary letters and, if possible, have the experience of some one who +has visited the schools and the homes of sin-cursed Utah. Having +awakened deep interest, the proposition to procure a lecture or a +musical entertainment and devote the proceeds to the New West Commission +will probably find favor and be carried on to success.</p> + +<p>For the next meeting, choose another object, as "Parsonage Building." +Distribute copies of the <i>Church Building Quarterly</i> and again the +indispensable back numbers of <i>The Home Missionary</i>, and have extracts +read which show the discomfort, and even distress, which come to the +family of the home missionary. Propose aid in the form of a birthday +offering, in which every member brings in an envelope as many cents as +she is years old. The result may be surprising.</p> + +<p>For other objects other plans, but in every case the way should be +prepared for <i>intelligent giving</i>.</p> + +<p>It has sometimes resulted favorably to secure, at the beginning of the +year, pledges for some definite, well understood object, as a teacher's +or missionary's salary, or a share in one, which should apparently but +not really exhaust the resources of the society, and have the payments +made as early in the year as practicable. Then pursue intelligent study +of the other fields until the time is ripe for proposing generous aid to +the one which appeals most strongly <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_235" id="Page_235"></a>[235]</span>to the combined judgment and +sympathy. And so on through the year, in which time the six benevolences +can all be reached. This somewhat irregular method of procedure has +perhaps no better defence than that it has been known to produce good +results. A society the intelligence and consecration of whose members +could be relied upon would doubtless find the plan of monthly pledges, +to be divided according to some accepted schedule, much easier. No +special labor would have to be expended to make the need apparent, or to +awaken sympathy for the object, or to choose the best means of attaining +it. Gifts would be systematic and uniform throughout the year and could +be counted upon.</p> + +<p>The machinery, well oiled at the start, would run smoothly and quietly, +and woman's work would not be made unpleasantly prominent. But it seems +doubtful whether as many gifts would flow into the treasury and whether +the gifts would be accompanied by as much interest, sympathy and prayer.</p> + +<p>The hints concerning management thus far presuppose a Home Missionary +Society organized on the modern basis of a programme of devotional +exercises and various mission studies, and do not apply to those cases +in which such exercises have been engrafted upon a sewing society with a +long line of Dorcases as Presidents, and antecedents too respectable to +be ruthlessly set aside. How shall a sewing society be so modified as to +best subserve the present home missionary needs? Do not create friction +by attempting a sudden and complete revolution. Propose that the brief +devotional exercises with which such gatherings sometimes close be +placed a little earlier than usual, that there may be time for some +interesting missionary letter or some inspiring leaflet, or other +selection, or better still, an original paper on some live topic. When +about the usual season for beginning the missionary box arrives, prepare +a symposium on the subject of boxes. Select and distribute brief +paragraphs from the magazines concerning missionary debts, from +missionary letters concerning unpaid salaries, and lead gradually up to +the question whether if we were missionaries we would rather receive a +box or a check for an unpaid salary. Which would best enable a minister +to look his creditors, who are also his parishioners, in the face—the +new pulpit suit or cash to pay off accumulated bills? In trying to +decide between box and salary, the society may decide for <i>both</i>, and a +point is gained. When box preparations begin, assign them a proper place +in the meeting. Do not permit papers and addresses to be sandwiched +between rolling quilt frames and turning down refractory hems, or +punctuated by requests or signals for scissors, thread, and bits of +gingham; and do not spoil garments by working with divided attention. +Give each its hour or its day. Best of all, when a box is in +preparation, sew early, late, and often, till it is despatched. Then +resume the studies, being especially careful to have their first +resumption provided with an attractive programme. In all cases when +studies have been grafted upon sewing, <i>encourage the graft</i>. It ought +to yield better fruit than the original stock.</p> + +<p>It should be the constant aim of those in charge of local societies to +inspire <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_236" id="Page_236"></a>[236]</span>in the membership intelligent interest in the six branches of +our work—to cultivate a spirit of liberality toward them all—to create +in every member a desire to aid them all. Only with such an aim can the +local society achieve its highest usefulness.</p> + + + +<hr style="width: 65%;" /> +<h2><a name="RECEIPTS_FOR_JUNE_1889" id="RECEIPTS_FOR_JUNE_1889"></a>RECEIPTS FOR JUNE, 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'><br /><b>MAINE, $123.20.</b></td></tr> +<tr><td align='left'>Augusta.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + +*** END: FULL LICENSE *** + + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/16153-h/images/img1.jpg b/16153-h/images/img1.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..3ddec83 --- /dev/null +++ b/16153-h/images/img1.jpg diff --git a/16153-h/images/img2.jpg b/16153-h/images/img2.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..0e82811 --- /dev/null +++ b/16153-h/images/img2.jpg diff --git a/16153-h/images/img3.jpg b/16153-h/images/img3.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..d39d9ce --- /dev/null +++ b/16153-h/images/img3.jpg diff --git a/16153-h/images/img4.jpg b/16153-h/images/img4.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..73c1632 --- /dev/null +++ b/16153-h/images/img4.jpg diff --git a/16153-h/images/title.jpg b/16153-h/images/title.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..28f8135 --- /dev/null +++ b/16153-h/images/title.jpg |
