Address . . . . . . . . . . . . . . | + +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ + + +JUBILEE SHARES. + +Our readers will notice that our jubilee share list is increasing in +numbers. We have reason to be grateful to God in that he has moved the +hearts of so many and led them to help our Lord's needy ones. We would +that those who have responded to our appeals could see the things that +we see, and hear the things which we hear. We have nothing but gratitude +for the fact that in this time of financial distress and uncertainty, +when money is so hard to get, the cause which we bring to the Christian +love and patriotism of good people is not losing, but gaining in their +sympathies and help. This trying year--trying to so many, therefore +trying to us--brings a jubilee thanksgiving to us, in that we are not +sinking deeper into the horrible pit and miry clay of debt, but are +little by little being pulled out of the slough. We know not how long +the pull may be, but if those who love the Lord Jesus Christ will pull +all together we shall not fail, and we need not be discouraged. Our feet +will get upon a rock and our goings be established; for which we pray. + + +LEADERS. + +The _Home Mission Monthly_ of the American Baptist Home Mission Society, +in an article upon "Leaders," agrees with us in saying: "A different +style of men is needed as leaders of the colored people to-day from that +of those who aspired to leadership twenty-five years ago; the race has +made great progress; there are multitudes now of Negro men and women who +have had the advantages of the common schools, many who have a college +education, and some who have university culture; to wisely influence +them in their thought and action is more difficult than to control the +masses of the illiterate and untrained. It is especially worthy of +consideration that among the Negroes of the South to-day are some men of +power and of education who are leaders; but whose leadership, +unfortunately, is in the wrong direction. This renders it all the more +urgent that the Mission Society and kindred organizations should seek to +supply them with a class of leaders who, by reason of their godly +character, their knowledge, their training, their consecration, will be +able to counteract the evil influences now at work, and to lead their +people into paths of righteousness. + +"The Mission Society does not attempt to provide a college education +for the multitudes of Negroes; even this would be a task beyond its +resources. What it does aim to do is simply to secure, if possible, +the education of a comparatively few young men and young women, who +shall become leaders among their people; men and women who by their +knowledge, training, culture, power, will be able to organize and +direct the energies of the masses of the people. Leaders are needed, +and these should be thoroughly competent for leadership; it is a hard +task to influence successfully the development of a race of eight +million people, and those who attempt the work require natural +qualities of a high order and also unusual attainments." + +What is to prevent these people who have been enfranchised from +becoming the prey of demagogues and designing men who wish to use +them for unchristian purposes and in unchristian ways, unless they have +large minded, thoroughly educated leaders with knowledge of history +and of life who can lead their own people in the ways of righteousness? +Events now transpiring give significance to this question. + + + * * * * * + + +The University of Pennsylvania has conferred the degree of Doctor +of Philosophy on Mr. Lewis B. Moore, who graduated from Fisk University +a few years ago. We listened to his "graduating address" at +the close of his college years at Fisk, whence he went to Philadelphia +to take charge of a branch of the Y.M.C.A. While attending to the +laborious duties of this position he has, during four years of earnest, +patient, and thorough study, earned his degree of Ph.D. in Greek +and Latin and Ethics, in one of the severest graduate schools in the +country. Dr. Moore is one of "our boys"; and there are many of +them who are preparing themselves, by their vision of a larger life +and their attainment of larger possessions, to be wise leaders among +their people. Dr. Moore is now an instructor in Howard University, +Washington, D.C. + + + * * * * * + + +There are those who object to the constitutional rights of the Negro, +and some who object to his Christian privileges, lest his recognition as +a man shall lead to "social equality," whatever this may mean. The +following from a leading Negro paper, _i.e._, edited by a Negro for a +Negro constituency, is a testimony as to what is and what is not the +Negro's idea of "recognition": + +"That the Negroes in recognizing constitutional rights are at the same +time seeking an arbitrary social equality with any other race is +erroneous. From the time of emancipation, the colored people have had no +disposition to force a social alliance with the whites. The colored +citizens have all their civil and political rights, and these rights +they demand. When honored colored men or women enter a first-class +hotel or restaurant, or seek a decent stateroom on a steamer, they do +not enter these places because they are seeking social contact with the +whites, but because they demand their just privileges for their personal +protection and comfort." + + + * * * * * + + +HARRIET BEECHER STOWE. + +Of the illustrious ones who laid the foundations for the liberation of +the slave, the name of Harriet Beecher Stowe leads all the rest. + +What America's greatest woman did towards making freedom possible, our +devoted and consecrated women teachers have been carrying out these +thirty years to the full Christian conclusion. Those who read the +records of the closing days of our schools in this present August number +of THE MISSIONARY will be reminded how these faithful teachers are still +engaged completing the unfinished work of their greater sister. + +Next to "Uncle Tom's Cabin," perhaps the book which has the truest stamp +of the genius of Mrs. Stowe is her "Old Town Folks." In her incomparable +description of "School Days in Cloudland," in which she shows how her +sympathies went out to the people of every nation and tongue who are +oppressed, she compares the influences of education in New England with +a country without schoolhouses, saying: "Look at Spain at this hour and +look back at New England at the time of which I write, and compare the +Spanish peasantry with the yeomen of New England. If Spain had had not a +single cathedral, if her Murillos had all been sunk in the sea, and if +she had had, for a hundred years past, a set of schoolmasters and +ministers working together as I have described Mr. Avery and Mr. +Rossiter as working, would not Spain be infinitely better off for this +life at least? That is the point that I humbly present to the +consideration of the public." + +This point which Mrs. Stowe presents to the consideration of the public, +is the one to which her younger sisters are faithfully directing their +faith and their works among a people who up to Mrs. Stowe's day never +saw a schoolhouse. + +We make our tribute to the gracious memory of her whose words went out +into all the world and extended to the ends of the earth: and we ask +remembrance of those who under the same inspiration are living among the +children of these liberated ones and are taking with them the love and +wisdom of Him who was "anointed to preach the gospel to the poor, the +recovery of sight to the blind, and to proclaim the acceptable year of +the Lord." + +We are sometimes asked how this work of education, which Mrs. Stowe did +more than any other person to inaugurate, is regarded by the intelligent +white people of the South. We can gladly say that we have too much +recognition and appreciation of our work among good people of the South +to be otherwise than thankful for it, and for the fact that these good +people are increasing every year in numbers and in readiness to +encourage us. We have never united in more earnest prayers for our work, +and for those who carry it on, even in our annual meetings than in our +worship in the South with many Southern pastors, and nowhere have we +heard more appreciative words respecting our work than from good people +of the South who have acquainted themselves with what we are doing and +how we are doing it. That multitudes are still unable to see and unready +to prophesy does not count. The day of appreciative recognition has not +fully come, but it has dawned, and will come by and by. + + + * * * * * + + +THE HISTORIES OF OUR CHURCHES. + +We have asked the pastors of some of our churches to give to us +sketches of the histories of those churches--their location, pastors +and membership, the condition of their members financially and otherwise, +how many have homes of their own, and what are their employments. +The details are truthful and are of value as showing the people +in their church, home, and business life. + + + * * * * * + + +DEER LODGE, TENN. + +By Mrs. Ella Gill Sedgwick. + +Deer Lodge, on the Cumberland Plateau in east Tennessee, is delightfully +located. The adjacent country is highly picturesque--rocky cliffs, deep +ravines, winding wooded streams, giving beauty to the landscape. To the +eastward, stretching far in undulating lines, are the mountains, seen +through a purple mist of great beauty. We often repeat the words, "As +the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his +people." We are nearly 2,000 feet above the level of the sea, so the air +is pure and healthful. A spicy fragrance fills the air, blown down from +the pines that crown the hills. + +Deer Lodge has been settled mostly by Northern people. In a religious +point of view we are divided into Congregationalists, Methodists, and +Baptists, with a few Episcopalians. There is only one church building, +however, the Congregationalists'. This is a beautiful little edifice +worthy of the growing importance of this interesting field on the +Cumberland Plateau. The church has a choice location on Ross Avenue. + +On April 13, 1889, the corner-stone was laid, and on August 4 of the +same year the church was dedicated. The church has good officers and +earnest working members. The present membership is forty-one. No +hostility is shown toward our church by the members of other churches, +but all are united and recognize in every one who loves the Master a +fellow-worker in the vineyard of Christ. + +The present pastor, Rev. G. Lusty, during his residence among us has +endeared himself to all. A promising work is being done in the +Sabbath-school, and we believe that from it constantly go forth many +little rills of influence that are entering the homes and bringing the +people a higher and purer life. The Christian Endeavor society is doing +a good work among the young people. The prayer-meetings held on Thursday +evenings are well attended. The growth of the church has not been rapid, +but is steady, and during its history has enjoyed some revivals of +religion. + +Under the direction of the pastor's loyal wife the young people have +been gathered into a sewing-school at her home every Saturday afternoon, +and everything is done to encourage the little fingers in their attempts +to guide the needle; and we feel that here, too, is a work being done +that will bring forth fruit in the homes. + +The barrels of supplies, sent to us by friends in other States, have +enabled us to assist many needy ones. While packing these missionary +boxes, if you could only see "the other end of the line" you would feel +rewarded for your gifts. The kindness done for Christ's sake will not be +forgotten. + +The country around Deer Lodge is sparsely settled. One can travel miles +without meeting any one. The people are somewhere--where, we are unable +to tell; yet when they have an opportunity to hear preaching you will +always find many people gathered in the schoolhouse where the "meeting" +is to be held. In traveling through the surrounding country you will see +many rough log houses, with only one room and often without windows, two +doors opposite each other, one door always kept open winter and summer. +A huge fire-place is in one end of the room. If you would have a view of +humanity in its simplicity, visit one of these mountain homes. You will +find everything of the most primitive kind. The hum of the +spinning-wheel and the heavy thud of the loom will greet your ears. In +one room you will very often see several beds, while the rest of the +furniture will consist of a few wooden chairs, a table and perhaps a +cupboard, and into this one room will be gathered the whole family, the +women with old shawls over their heads, sitting by the fire chewing +tobacco, or with the invariable snuff-stick in their mouth. But +everywhere you will be treated with kindness and invariable civility. +"Come and see us," they say; "we are mighty poor folks, but we will do +the best we can." These mountaineers take life in a slow and easy way; +you cannot make them "step to Yankee time." + +Last Sabbath we attended one of the afternoon services. Our road passed +for several miles through a lovely forest, with its soft shadows and +calm repose. The only sound to break the stillness was the song of the +birds. After a while we heard ringing out through the pine woods the +echo of gospel hymns. Following the sound, and wending our way a little +farther through the woods, in a quiet glen we came to the school house +where the services were to be held. Here we found an earnest, attentive +audience. In one place an outdoor meeting was held. It was a rare, +perfect day. The people came in twos and threes, finding places wherever +they could. One could almost fancy that other scene of centuries ago, +beneath the blue skies of Palestine, where, when the multitude were +gathered upon the mountain, the Master "opened His mouth and taught +them." + +Among these mountaineers are young men and women eager in their desire +for knowledge, and anxious for an opportunity to learn of a better way +of life. We believe that to the question, "What of the night?" the +answer can be given, "The morning cometh." + + + * * * * * + + +COMMENCEMENT AT FISK UNIVERSITY. + +By Miss Alice M. Garsden. + +I cannot promise you a sketch of our commencement abounding in local +color, for, if one were afflicted with color-blindness, he would +probably be unable to discover many points of difference between +commencement at Fisk and the same exercises at an Eastern college of +about the same size. + +As a mere reprint of the programs of the various anniversary exercises, +which continued for three or four days, would occupy more space than is +allowed for this article, it is evident that many things of interest +must be crowded out. + +_The Department of Music_ gave a characteristic performance. Every +selection on the program was well rendered. No music but the best is +ever studied at Fisk, and the productions of the great composers are not +only well played, but also well appreciated by our students. + +The exhibition given by the _Gymnastic Department_ showed that Fisk has +athletes as well as musicians. The young men went through a series of +feats which showed both agility and strength. If they fail in the work +of life, it will not be for lack of hard, well-trained muscles. This +department has been under the direction of a student for the past two +years. + +Rev. Ira Landrith, D.D., of Nashville, preached the annual "missionary +sermon." Dr. Landrith possesses true Southern eloquence, and was +listened to with marked attention. During the year he has, on several +occasions, expressed himself as heartily in sympathy with our work. Such +friendliness on the part of an influential Southerner is pleasant to +note. + +Dr. Beard, our secretary, preached the "baccalaureate sermon." He +presented in a very vivid manner the blessings to be won by those who +conquer the hindrances of life. He showed how the law of struggle is the +law of strength and of possession. The duty and necessity of overcoming +evil, as well as the rewards, were illustrated and urged. + +The various alumni associations are now endeavoring to raise a fund of +one thousand dollars for the university. They are faithful to their alma +mater. + +The graduating exercises of the Normal Department were largely attended, +and the thirteen young women of the class would have been listened to on +any Northern commencement platform with earnest and thoughtful +attention. President Cravath's address to them was on "The New Woman." +"The educated young colored woman of to-day," he said, "is, in a +peculiar sense, the new woman of her race." He contrasted the +opportunities of the young women before him with those which their +mothers had, and besought them to consider their peculiar +responsibilities linked with their opportunities. + +For the regular college graduation exercises every seat in the spacious +chapel was filled. Plants and wild-flowers had been used to decorate the +platform, while large flags were artistically draped on either side. The +class, numbering fifteen, occupied the front seats. President Cravath, +Dr. Beard, and other guests were on the platform. The orations were, +without exception, highly creditable. The speakers chose subjects of +current interest instead of recounting the exploits of the ancient +Greeks and Romans or making Napoleon fight his battles over again for +us. They bore the marks of thoughtful and accurate study. After the +conferring of the degrees, the audience rose while the Mozart Society +rendered the Hallelujah Chorus. What a debt of gratitude we owe to +Handel for giving us that Chorus! General Fisk used to say that there +were glories and hallelujahs and amens enough in it to make several +rousing Methodist camp-meetings. + +After the commencement exercises a collation was served to which all +the alumni and the parents of the students present were invited. After +the refreshments the speeches followed. These were not of the +time-honored sort. Fathers and mothers rose and told of the struggles +they had made to get their boy or girl through school. Many were the +expressions of gladness and of hope, and when President Cravath +announced that the school year was ended, all of those who had taught +felt rewarded for the toils and anxieties of a fruitful college year. + + + * * * * * + + +HOWARD UNIVERSITY, THEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, D.C. + +By Prof. J.H. Ewell, D.D. + +The American Missionary Association was obliged to reduce the +appropriation for our work by one-fourth this year. This has occasioned +so much extra work, care, and anxiety, but the good hand of our Heavenly +Father has been upon us, and the teachers have increased their hours in +the classroom, and kind friends and churches have lent a helping hand. +Grateful mention should be made of large assistance from the First +Congregational Church, of Washington, and of aid from young churches +with heavy burdens upon them. One devoted and steadfast friend who gave +according to her power, yea, gave beyond her power; whose means were +small, but whose charities were large, because she spent so little upon +herself, Miss Mary F. Andrews, of Millbury, has been called home during +the year. Who will take her place? I wish there were space to speak of +all who have co-operated with us by giving. Almost every gift has some +association that has made it specially cheering. + +Our Anniversary Exercises received the heartiest commendation. The class +numbered eight more than four years previously. We are greatly +encouraged by the good work that our graduates are doing. May the Lord +reward all of our beloved supporters! We always pray for them and for +the Association, and for all our varied workers under its auspices, and +we ask especially that all who are interested in our work will pray for +us that Charles Wesley's petition may be fulfilled in us, + + "Write Thy new name upon my heart, + Thy best new name of Love." + + + * * * * * + + +LINCOLN ACADEMY, KING'S MOUNTAIN, N.C. + +By Rev. A.W. Curtis. + +Lincoln Academy is beautiful for situation, in the midst of groves of +young pine, on a considerable plateau sloping southward, overlooking +the valley of a little creek with the grand old mountain towering above +them on the farther side. A quiet restful spot removed from the +temptations of town life, four miles from the village station; just the +place for the great family home school which I found on this occasion, +Wednesday night, busy as bees preparing for the great event of the year. +The boys had put up a brush arbor in the grove near by, and provided +plenty of plank seats beneath. + +We had a rousing Christian Endeavor meeting that night, the last of the +session. All of the students belong to the Senior or Junior branch, and +with the schedule topic, "The Widening of Christ's Kingdom," brought +home and made personal, "What can I do to extend Christ's Kingdom during +this vacation?" Many very practical talks were given, and many pledges +of best endeavor to this end in the home life or where they were +expecting to teach through the summer. Strange noises were heard during +the night, which the morning light explained by the covered wagons, +prairie schooners we would call them at the West, which had come in and +camped out near the spring. As the hour approached a perfect string of +nondescript vehicles bringing the whole family, and many others on +muleback or on foot, came pouring in from near and far, until by 10 A.M. +nearly one thousand people had gathered in and around the arbor; some of +them coming from thirty to fifty miles overland. + +"Old Glory" had been floating from the flagstaff above the central +school building all the morning, and now the scholars, neatly dressed, +came marching up the hill and crowded the platform to sing their welcome +song. Prayer was offered by one of the first graduates, now a minister. +Then the principal, and lady general, gave out the orders for the day in +such a womanly and winning way as showed her fully mistress of the +situation. + +"No _smoking_ anywhere on the school-grounds; no changing of seats +during any exercise; no selling of liquors or even ice cream, lemonade, +or other refreshments--not because these latter were not good in +themselves, but because of the temptation to spend money which they +could not afford in these hard times, and while complaining that they +could not raise money for the schooling of their children, they must not +spend their nickels in such ways. Take care of their nickels and they +would soon count up to dollars." + +Several hucksters and peddlers, who had come with their wares, the +principal succeeded in driving off, and in a region where whisky has +flowed freely and smoking is almost their vital breath, she that day had +an orderly assemblage of nearly a thousand, on uncomfortable seats, +quiet and interested for four and a half hours without any intermission! + +It was a very carefully prepared program; speeches, essays, recitals, +dialogues, and such splendid singing as only these trained voices of +colored students can give. It was no easy matter to speak so as to be +heard by such a crowd in the open air, but every girl as well as boy +succeeded admirably, and all showed most careful training and drill. The +themes chosen were very practical and fitted to the occasion. + +Tobacco got rough and fearless handling, and liquor-drinking was rebuked +in almost every conceivable way and rubbed in repeatedly. The old and +the modern ways of teaching were compared and illustrated; indeed, every +recitation was evidently selected with reference to its moral effect. + +Certainly these huge commencement gatherings are themselves educators +for the fathers and mothers and kinsfolk of these young people, whom +they are proud to see doing so well. The words of all the songs were +thoroughly learned, so they will do service in many another gathering +wherever these students may be. It was the writer's privilege to give +the commencement address on "Making the best use of life as God's plan +for our highest good." + +Thursday night we held a parting communion service with the +Congregational Church, which is mainly composed of students. The maps +shown me and many of their examination papers were exceptionally good. +Last winter mumps and measles successively swept through the school, and +at one time made the home almost a hospital, but the brave teachers went +through all, kept up recitations with the well ones, and nursed the sick +and brought them all safely through without the expense of a doctor. Now +all were well and evidently thriving on good food, though it is marvel +to me how good board can be afforded with tuition, and all expenses +covered for $4.50 per month, and yet work be furnished to most of them +for one-third of that, bringing the cash outlay to _ten cents a day!_ +but they do it, and a happier household I have never seen than those who +gather at Lincoln Academy. + +A white man with whom I was talking at the station said, "Those lady +teachers are doing a great work for this whole region." + +So the leaven works. + + + * * * * * + + +ALLEN NORMAL SCHOOL, THOMASVILLE, GA. + +By Miss Amelia Merriam. + +The fact that with the graduation of the class of '96 our school would +complete its first decade, added interest to the occasion. + +One member of the class has been in the school from its organization. In +the class history she gave quite a vivid description of those trying +days when the building at Quitman, Ga., where the school was first +gathered, was burned to the ground, as the result of hostile feeling on +the part of the citizens of the place. Certainly there has been progress +toward a just appreciation of the work of the American Missionary +Association in the communities where its work has been done, as seen in +the kindly feeling toward the school manifested in various ways by the +people of Thomasville. + +Of the six graduates, five are young women; three of these begin their +work of teaching in country schools immediately. One, the valedictorian +of the class, has already written something in regard to her +surroundings. At the place, which is the best in the neighborhood, where +she was to board--if the word may be used in connection with such a +state of things--she writes that there is almost nothing in the way of +necessities for decent living. There is not a lamp in the house; not +even a tallow candle, the room in which the family eat and sleep being +lighted only by building a fire upon the hearth. Of such an article as a +towel they apparently do not know the use; and the one basin in which +she washed her hands serves for various other domestic purposes. Almost +the only household appliances are two ovens, as they are called--two +flat-bottomed, shallow iron kettles, with iron covers, and legs a few +inches long. Under these kettles, out of doors, the fire is made, and +coals put upon the flat covers. In this way the hoe-cake is baked in +one, while the bacon is fried in the other. These two viands, with an +occasional mess of greens or potatoes, constitute the bill of fare month +in and month out. No wonder the poor girl lost her appetite. She was +supplied from the Home with what she needed to make herself comfortable +in the one very small room which she is fortunate enough to have to +herself. + +It is from country places like these that we wish to bring scholars into +the school. The truth is that the young people in these communities are +too ignorant to have any desire for anything different from what they +now have. Here is an almost limitless home missionary field, to be +worked by the graduates of our schools. These teachers are good +object-lessons, showing what an education, including a knowledge of +homemaking, as well as what is learned from books, can do for boys and +girls like themselves. + +We rejoice in the fact that when the school closed, all of the girls in +the Hall were professedly disciples of Christ, and will, we believe, go +back to their homes to be better daughters and more helpful members of +the communities so much in need of the influences which we trust they +will exert. + +Five of our scholars connected themselves with our church at the last +communion service. + + + * * * * * + + +SALUDA SEMINARY, N.C. + +By Rev. E.W. Hollies. + +The closing exercises at Saluda Seminary took place on Friday evening, +May 1. Visitors overflowed the schoolrooms before the appointed hour. +After the introductory march had been rendered by one of the music +pupils on the beautiful Estey piano which adorned the platform, there +was not a standing place left for seeing nor hearing. The young people +kept everybody interested and pleased for three hours, by readings, +recitations, instrumental music, and songs. "The Delsarte Children," a +drill by eight little girls, whose motions were accompanied with strains +of music, was prettily and accurately presented, and was much +appreciated. + +A cantata, "THE VOICES OF NATURE," was presented by the Juniors, and was +an interesting and pleasing feature of the evening, and showed that +careful instruction had been given by the teacher of music. Two well +prepared essays were read by their authors; one for, and the other +against, "Woman Suffrage." + +The "SALUDA HERALD," a paper of thirty-two pages, published by the +pupils of the school, was read by four of its editors. This paper +contained many good things in the form of prose, poems, puns, and +puzzles. It abounded in wit and good humor. Its production was a credit +to the young people and added much to the enjoyment of the visitors; and +it was also unmistakable evidence that the young people attending this +school are taught to think and to write their thoughts with grammatical +accuracy, and also to give intelligent vocal expression to the same. +Saluda is highly favored in having this excellent school within its +borders. + + + * * * * * + + +BURRELL SCHOOL, SELMA, ALA. + +By Prof. A.T. Burnell. + +The year 1895-6 will be long remembered by all connected with Burrell +School, Selma, Ala., for the widespread religious interest gathering in +nearly half of those attending in March; for the continued increase of +enrolment, especially in the grammar and normal grades; and the closing +of this year will be remembered as a great and successful financial +endeavor, which netted for the school fifty dollars--"one jubilee +share." It is to be said that Selma is a generous town, when +entertainments come as at this season for the colored schools here. +Burrell presented one for the primaries, in which an entire grade +appeared upon the stage, some children impersonating trees planted by +other children and growing as by magic, while still others played "hide +and seek" about the trees or built nests therein. + +On the second programme, intermingled with the usual dialogues and +"speeches" so loudly demanded by all pupils, there were the essays of +three who had completed the tenth grade, and some excellent music, with +shadow pictures, etc. + +But the chief interest centered in the drama, that brought a crowded +house on Wednesday evening, and was repeated the next week. + +Public examinations were held for three days, beginning Friday the 22d, +when a good number of friends visited the different rooms, noted the +work of the pupils, and shared with the teachers the quizzing of the +pupils, who seemed to enjoy their part. Not the least interesting +because thoroughly practical was the display of garments, stitching and +mending in the sewing-room; and, in the blacksmith and the carpenter +shops, articles manufactured by the boys. The school ground gives +evidence of workmen--attending to fences, repairs on buildings, a shop, +and two pump-shelters erected. + +The catalogue just issued lists 287 students, a gain of twenty-four per +cent. in two years; gives a history of Burrell from its start in 1869, +and among former students names all the lady teachers of the city +school, besides five on other faculties in Selma. + + + * * * * * + + +BLOWING ROCK, N.C. + +By Mrs. Ellen R. Dorsett. + +Skyland Institute at Blowing Rock, N.C., has during the year continually +had in mind the saying, "Children should be seen and not heard," and so +has not lifted up her voice to report her work. But the child is now six +years old, is growing in beauty and strength, and needs some attention. + +The year has been one of good things. Our pupils have been of a better +class than in previous years, and better adapted to go out and teach. +Our attendance has been more regular, our tuition has been paid as a +rule, and, although epidemics have prevailed all about us, we have lived +under the banner of the ninety-first Psalm and "no evil has befallen +us." + +Our closing exercises consisted of reports from our different +organizations by a representative from each; class histories, and an +industrial exhibit on Tuesday afternoon, June 2. The following morning +Rev. J.L. Murphy gave us an address on the topic, "Wanted--A Man." It +was able, interesting, and inspiring. Mr. Murphy has for several years +been president of a girls' college in Hickory, N.C., and we were +fortunate in securing his services. + +We have more applications for places in our home and school next year +than we have places, and just as soon as _that debt_ is paid, the North +will hear a lusty cry from this child for _room, more room_. + + + * * * * * + + +ENFIELD, N.C. + +By Rev. T.S. Inborden. + +The Joseph K. Brick Agricultural, Industrial and Normal School, located +at Enfield, N.C., celebrated its first anniversary May 29. It was a +noteworthy occasion for many who had not before visited the old +plantation under the new regime. + +The exercises began at eight o'clock p.m., but as early as three o'clock +the people began to gather. They came on foot, in ox carts, wagons and +on bicycles. They were plain farmers, young teachers, politicians and +merchants. All were enthusiastic in their interest in the school. The +exercises were full of interest and the outlook for another year never +seemed brighter. Another year, God willing, we will show a great +advance. + + + * * * * * + + +LINCOLN SCHOOL, MERIDIAN, MISS. + +By Mrs. H.I. Miller. + +Our school closed its doors on the night of the 26th of May. All went +away saying "It was the best commencement Lincoln has ever had." I +heartily endorse the opinion. There were seven graduates--six young men +and one young woman. There were six orations, and all were so good that +a higher institution might well be proud of them. At our Social meeting +on the morning of the 26th, we had pleasant talks and addresses, after +which the industrial work, papers on nursing and examination papers were +exhibited. There were dresses, aprons, undergarments, sets of +button-holes, quilts, skirts, cushions, specimens of darning and +patching, and various fancy articles, some of them exceedingly well +done. We also had delicate work from the kindergarten and primary rooms; +paper folding and card sewing, showing great neatness of little fingers. + +Among other papers of interest were those from the general history +class. Each pupil selected some country or character for review, and so +our work extended from old China and Egypt to modern Africa. One young +man writing on the last named country was induced to give the article to +the State through the newspapers and it has been published. + +Some of our young people are teaching, and others are at other work. +There are very few summer schools here now, and those opened are only +for primary grades. + +The Lincoln school is reaping honors at Tougaloo University. Two +scholarships this year were won by two of our ex-graduates, and this +gives Lincoln the honor of five such prizes won in that institution. + +We shall greatly rejoice when the pulpits and places of great +responsibility are filled with intelligent leaders. We cannot but feel +amused, yet distressed, at the mis-read Scriptures. One brother in his +morning lesson from the pulpit said: "Brothers, we should be of the same +mind--_one body_ and mind, for it says here, 'the twins shall be one +flesh.'" A young man came to us, and asked help in writing his sermons. +He had no Bible; I urged his purchasing one, as he could read. One day +he came and said his text was the 14th of John. I inquired the passage. +"Oh," he said, "I takes the whole chapter, and so I don' have to say +much." It surely was the best way for his audience. + +Our class motto was "The Future needs us," and I trust all the class +will fully realize how much they are needed. + + + * * * * * + + +ITEM. + +There is an old colored man in Wilkes county who has never had his +membership changed from the white people's church at Independence. He +belonged to it when a slave and has held on to it. He attends services +regularly and does not intrude upon the congregation, but sits quietly +on the steps and listens to the sermon.--_Atlanta Constitution._ + + + * * * * * + + +A LESSON IN HOME BUILDING. + +By a Teacher. +Andersonville, Ga. + +A woman came in this evening to sell strawberries which were neatly +covered with a bit of white cloth. She looked around our sitting-room +and shook her turbaned head, saying, "I sure would be afraid to live in +this house." "Why," I asked, curious to know what fearful thing she saw +in her glance. "Oh, it's so big, and has so many rooms." Our cozy home, +so snug, with not an inch of unused room, that we call our "Bird's +Nest!" Alas for the people that do not feel at home save in a one-roomed +cabin, and do not feel the necessity of work unless they are hungry. I +long so, sometimes, for something that will make this people hungry and +thirsty for better things, that will make them dissatisfied with the +things that content them now. The longing is _sure_ to come, if we can +have patience to wait. + +A woman a short distance away lives in a house whose roof lets in the +water in streams during a heavy rain. She called on us in the spring so +hoarse that she could hardly speak. A few questions brought out the +trouble, and revealed the fact that she owned a pile of lumber near by. +I asked her why they did not repair it. She thought it too old, and the +reason she gave for not building a new one was that she was waiting for +her "old man" to begin. I found that her daughter was teaching school in +the country, and had $25 already due her that she could use for the +work. I told her to have one room put up at once, and build others as +she had money. She thought a little, then said, "Tell me all about it, +and I'll do just as you say." Now the room is nearly finished (not +ceiled or plastered, for such extras are almost unknown), and a prouder +woman would be hard to find. All are not so willing to be taught, but I +rejoice over every improvement. + + + * * * * * + + +AMONG THE INDIANS. + +CLOSING EXERCISES AT SANTEE NORMAL SCHOOL. + +By Miss Edith Leonard. + +The last busy days of the school year are over. We have gathered the +first fruits of our work; we hope there will be a greater harvest in +years to come. + +At the communion service, on June 7, three of our pupils were received +into the church. The next Thursday came the evening of declamations, +recitations, and music, for which the pupils had been preparing. During +the last four weeks it was a common thing to find a boy declaiming to an +imaginary audience in the schoolroom, or to find a girl reciting in +some secluded spot in the yard, or on the hills in the pasture. In most +schools that is nothing worthy of remark, but to us it shows that the +young people are beginning to feel that their success depends on their +own efforts. + +When the evening came we had an enjoyable entertainment. The house was +decorated with the tall, graceful stems of the Solomon's Seal, and the +platform had a rug and potted plants upon it, and our two beautiful +flags draped behind it. + +Among the recitations, "Betty, the Bound Girl," and "The Peril of a +Passenger Train," were well rendered. Lowell's "A Day in June" was given +with a pleasant voice and manner that fitted the poem. There was an +organ solo, an organ duet, and a sprightly little song by a quartet, +"All Among the Barley." Among the best things were part of an address by +Channing on "Distinction of Mind and Material Forms," and one by +Mitchell on "The First View of the Heavens." The thoughts were noble and +nobly expressed, and the young men delivered them with thoughtfulness +and appreciation, which made us glad, especially as these addresses were +their own choice. + +Immediately after these exercises we all adjourned to the dining room +to see what the girls had done in their little missionary society. Here +was a table gay with pretty articles they had made. Among them were a +nice comfortable, some embroidered doilies, chair pillows, handkerchief +cases, and other things. Most of them were quickly sold. There was also +ice-cream and cake for sale. The girls took about seventeen dollars by +their fair, and the proceeds are to go to the A.M.A. + +The next day was the last. We planned to have an exhibition of school +and industrial work during the forenoon, and parade of cadets in the +afternoon. And, in order to give the pupils a little uplift of +enthusiasm in a good cause, we arranged to have a Christian Endeavor +rally of societies from five neighboring towns, and also to invite the +members of two Sunday-schools that are bravely "lifting the gospel +banner," each in a scattered community near by, where there is no +church. + +The people began to arrive about half-past ten. One party came in a +large farm wagon made gay with flags. + +We hastened to take them about. In the blacksmith shop, two young men +who had been in school only a year, were making some steel nut-crackers. +A table covered with hooks, bolts, chains, towels, ice-picks, etc., +represented the work done during the year. In the printing office, the +boys were turning the press, and printing our Indian paper. The +carpenter-shop exhibit contained some neat boxes, tables, and cabinets, +and here some small boys were at work making joints. In the cooking +school, the girls were making biscuits, coffee, and corn-bread, while +the table was covered with nice loaves of bread, cake, rolls, and +cookies, made the day before. Here, also, the girls' sewing was +displayed. There was a neat set of doll's clothing, a doll's mattress, +pillows, sheets, and pillow-cases, a number of boys' shirts ready for +use in the school, beside other clothing for the girls. + +The primary schoolroom contained clay animals, weaving and sewing done +by the kindergarten class, and some neat language and number work by the +older pupils. The other schoolrooms also had illustrated language work, +examination papers, maps on paper and in sand, and a collection of +botanical specimens. + +About seventy-five visitors came from neighboring towns. They enjoyed +looking at the school work, and they enjoyed their lunch under the +trees, and the marching and drilling of the boys with their wooden guns. + +But the best thing in the day was the meeting in the afternoon. Our +Christian Endeavor guests, with the school and some of the agency people +and neighboring Indians, filled the chapel full. Several of the +societies had pretty banners, and it was inspiring to see them come +marching in. The meeting was just a warm-hearted Christian Endeavor +meeting. Each society responded by a verse of Scripture recited in +concert, or a song, or by the words of some member chosen to represent +them. There was also time for volunteer prayers and testimonies, and a +number of songs. We were all glad to be there--glad to belong to a great +army of Christian workers--and we believe our boys and girls will not +forget it, but that the thoughts of that hour will help to make them +strong. + +After these guests went home, there yet remained the principal's +reception in the evening, where the school gathered with our Agency and +Indian friends, to talk a little while and say goodbye. There was one +delightful little surprise when Dr. Riggs called up thirteen of the +Indian girls and gave to each, as a reward for faithful, successful work +in bread-making, a copy of a cook-book to take home with her. The pupils +enjoyed all these last days, but especially the Christian Endeavor +rally, and we shall remember this year's close as our Christian Endeavor +commencement. + + + * * * * * + + +CHINESE. + +The following letter was written by a young man who was converted in our +Chinese school in Salt Lake City. It is a notification to his teacher of +his arrival in China. It is interesting as a suggestion of the +far-reaching influences of our Chinese work: + + HONG KONG, China, April 5, 1896. + + DEAR FRIEND MRS. M.E. JONES: + + I have arrived here on Sunday 5th of this month, and was very fine + trip.

LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a +defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can +receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a +written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you +received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with +your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with +the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a +refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity +providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to +receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.

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

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.

We have reason to be grateful to God in that he has moved the +hearts of so many and led them to help our Lord's needy ones. We would +that those who have responded to our appeals could see the things that +we see, and hear the things which we hear. We have nothing but gratitude +for the fact that in this time of financial distress and uncertainty, +when money is so hard to get, the cause which we bring to the Christian +love and patriotism of good people is not losing, but gaining in their +sympathies and help. This trying year—trying to so many, therefore +trying to us—brings a jubilee thanksgiving to us, in that we are not +sinking deeper into the horrible pit and miry clay of debt, but are +little by little being pulled out of the slough. We know not how long +the pull may be, but if those who love the Lord Jesus Christ will pull +all together we shall not fail, and we need not be discouraged. Our feet +will get upon a rock and our goings be established; for which we pray.</p> + + +<hr class="quarter" /> + + +<h3>LEADERS.</h3> + +<p>The <i>Home Mission Monthly</i> of the American Baptist Home Mission Society, +in an article upon "Leaders," agrees with us in saying: "A different +style of men is needed as leaders of the colored people to-day from that +of those who aspired to leadership twenty-five years ago; the race has +made great progress; there are multitudes now of Negro men and women who +have had the advantages of the common schools, many who have a college +education, and some who have university culture; to wisely influence +them in their thought and action is more difficult than to control the +masses of the illiterate and untrained. It is especially worthy of +consideration that among the Negroes of the South to-day are some men of +power and of education who are leaders; but whose leadership, +unfortunately, is in the wrong direction. This renders it all the more +urgent that the Mission Society and kindred organizations should seek to +supply them with a class of leaders who, by reason of their godly +character, their knowledge, their training, their consecration, will be +able to counteract the evil influences now at work, and to lead their +people into paths of righteousness.</p> + +<p>"The Mission Society does not attempt to provide a college education for +the multitudes of Negroes; even this would be a task beyond its +resources. What it does aim to do is simply to secure, if possible, the +education of a comparatively few young men and young +<span class="pagenum"><a name="page243" id="page243"></a>{243}</span> +women, who shall become leaders among their people; men and +women who by their knowledge, training, culture, power, will be able +to organize and direct the energies of the masses of the people. +Leaders are needed, and these should be thoroughly competent for +leadership; it is a hard task to influence successfully the development +of a race of eight million people, and those who attempt the work require +natural qualities of a high order and also unusual attainments."</p> + +<p>What is to prevent these people who have been enfranchised from +becoming the prey of demagogues and designing men who wish to use +them for unchristian purposes and in unchristian ways, unless they have +large minded, thoroughly educated leaders with knowledge of history +and of life who can lead their own people in the ways of righteousness? +Events now transpiring give significance to this question.</p> + + +<hr class="quarter" /> + + +<p>The University of Pennsylvania has conferred the degree of Doctor +of Philosophy on Mr. Lewis B. Moore, who graduated from Fisk University +a few years ago. We listened to his "graduating address" at +the close of his college years at Fisk, whence he went to Philadelphia +to take charge of a branch of the Y.M.C.A. While attending to the +laborious duties of this position he has, during four years of earnest, +patient, and thorough study, earned his degree of Ph.D. in Greek +and Latin and Ethics, in one of the severest graduate schools in the +country. Dr. Moore is one of "our boys"; and there are many of +them who are preparing themselves, by their vision of a larger life +and their attainment of larger possessions, to be wise leaders among +their people. Dr. Moore is now an instructor in Howard University, +Washington, D.C.</p> + + +<hr class="quarter" /> + + +<p>There are those who object to the constitutional rights of the Negro, +and some who object to his Christian privileges, lest his recognition as +a man shall lead to "social equality," whatever this may mean. The +following from a leading Negro paper, <i>i.e.</i>, edited by a Negro for a +Negro constituency, is a testimony as to what is and what is not the +Negro's idea of "recognition":</p> + +<p>"That the Negroes in recognizing constitutional rights are at the same +time seeking an arbitrary social equality with any other race is +erroneous. From the time of emancipation, the colored people have had no +disposition to force a social alliance with the whites. The colored +citizens have all their civil and political rights, and these rights +they demand. When honored colored men or women enter a first-class +<span class="pagenum"><a name="page244" id="page244"></a>{244}</span> +hotel or restaurant, or seek a decent stateroom on a steamer, they do +not enter these places because they are seeking social contact with the +whites, but because they demand their just privileges for their personal +protection and comfort."</p> + + +<hr class="quarter" /> + +<p><a name="editorial3" id="editorial3"></a></p> +<h3>HARRIET BEECHER STOWE.</h3> + +<p>Of the illustrious ones who laid the foundations for the liberation of +the slave, the name of Harriet Beecher Stowe leads all the rest.</p> + +<p>What America's greatest woman did towards making freedom possible, our +devoted and consecrated women teachers have been carrying out these +thirty years to the full Christian conclusion. Those who read the +records of the closing days of our schools in this present August number +of THE MISSIONARY will be reminded how these faithful teachers are still +engaged completing the unfinished work of their greater sister.</p> + +<p>Next to "Uncle Tom's Cabin," perhaps the book which has the truest stamp +of the genius of Mrs. Stowe is her "Old Town Folks." In her incomparable +description of "School Days in Cloudland," in which she shows how her +sympathies went out to the people of every nation and tongue who are +oppressed, she compares the influences of education in New England with +a country without schoolhouses, saying: "Look at Spain at this hour and +look back at New England at the time of which I write, and compare the +Spanish peasantry with the yeomen of New England. If Spain had had not a +single cathedral, if her Murillos had all been sunk in the sea, and if +she had had, for a hundred years past, a set of schoolmasters and +ministers working together as I have described Mr. Avery and Mr. +Rossiter as working, would not Spain be infinitely better off for this +life at least? That is the point that I humbly present to the +consideration of the public."</p> + +<p>This point which Mrs. Stowe presents to the consideration of the public, +is the one to which her younger sisters are faithfully directing their +faith and their works among a people who up to Mrs. Stowe's day never +saw a schoolhouse.</p> + +<p>We make our tribute to the gracious memory of her whose words went out +into all the world and extended to the ends of the earth: and we ask +remembrance of those who under the same inspiration are living among the +children of these liberated ones and are taking with them the love and +wisdom of Him who was "anointed to preach the gospel to the poor, the +recovery of sight to the blind, and to proclaim the acceptable year of +the Lord."</p> + + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="page245" id="page245"></a>{245}</span> +We are sometimes asked how this work of education, which Mrs. Stowe did +more than any other person to inaugurate, is regarded by the intelligent +white people of the South. We can gladly say that we have too much +recognition and appreciation of our work among good people of the South +to be otherwise than thankful for it, and for the fact that these good +people are increasing every year in numbers and in readiness to +encourage us. We have never united in more earnest prayers for our work, +and for those who carry it on, even in our annual meetings than in our +worship in the South with many Southern pastors, and nowhere have we +heard more appreciative words respecting our work than from good people +of the South who have acquainted themselves with what we are doing and +how we are doing it. That multitudes are still unable to see and unready +to prophesy does not count. The day of appreciative recognition has not +fully come, but it has dawned, and will come by and by.</p> + + +<hr class="full" /> + +<p><a name="south1" id="south1"></a></p> +<h3>THE HISTORIES OF OUR CHURCHES.</h3> + +<p>We have asked the pastors of some of our churches to give to us +sketches of the histories of those churches—their location, pastors +and membership, the condition of their members financially and otherwise, +how many have homes of their own, and what are their employments. +The details are truthful and are of value as showing the people +in their church, home, and business life.</p> + + +<hr class="quarter" /> + +<p><a name="south2" id="south2"></a></p> +<h3>DEER LODGE, TENN.</h3> + +<p class="center">By Mrs. Ella Gill Sedgwick.</p> + +<p>Deer Lodge, on the Cumberland Plateau in east Tennessee, is delightfully +located. The adjacent country is highly picturesque—rocky cliffs, deep +ravines, winding wooded streams, giving beauty to the landscape. To the +eastward, stretching far in undulating lines, are the mountains, seen +through a purple mist of great beauty. We often repeat the words, "As +the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his +people." We are nearly 2,000 feet above the level of the sea, so the air +is pure and healthful. A spicy fragrance fills the air, blown down from +the pines that crown the hills.</p> + +<p>Deer Lodge has been settled mostly by Northern people. In a religious +point of view we are divided into Congregationalists, Methodists, and +Baptists, with a few Episcopalians. There is only one church building, +however, the Congregationalists'. This is a beautiful little edifice +<span class="pagenum"><a name="page246" id="page246"></a>{246}</span> +worthy of the growing importance of this interesting field on the +Cumberland Plateau. The church has a choice location on Ross Avenue.</p> + +<p>On April 13, 1889, the corner-stone was laid, and on August 4 of the +same year the church was dedicated. The church has good officers and +earnest working members. The present membership is forty-one. No +hostility is shown toward our church by the members of other churches, +but all are united and recognize in every one who loves the Master a +fellow-worker in the vineyard of Christ.</p> + +<p>The present pastor, Rev. G. Lusty, during his residence among us has +endeared himself to all. A promising work is being done in the +Sabbath-school, and we believe that from it constantly go forth many +little rills of influence that are entering the homes and bringing the +people a higher and purer life. The Christian Endeavor society is doing +a good work among the young people. The prayer-meetings held on Thursday +evenings are well attended. The growth of the church has not been rapid, +but is steady, and during its history has enjoyed some revivals of +religion.</p> + +<p>Under the direction of the pastor's loyal wife the young people have +been gathered into a sewing-school at her home every Saturday afternoon, +and everything is done to encourage the little fingers in their attempts +to guide the needle; and we feel that here, too, is a work being done +that will bring forth fruit in the homes.</p> + +<p>The barrels of supplies, sent to us by friends in other States, have +enabled us to assist many needy ones. While packing these missionary +boxes, if you could only see "the other end of the line" you would feel +rewarded for your gifts. The kindness done for Christ's sake will not be +forgotten.</p> + +<p>The country around Deer Lodge is sparsely settled. One can travel miles +without meeting any one. The people are somewhere—where, we are unable +to tell; yet when they have an opportunity to hear preaching you will +always find many people gathered in the schoolhouse where the "meeting" +is to be held. In traveling through the surrounding country you will see +many rough log houses, with only one room and often without windows, two +doors opposite each other, one door always kept open winter and summer. +A huge fire-place is in one end of the room. If you would have a view of +humanity in its simplicity, visit one of these mountain homes. You will +find everything of the most primitive kind. The hum of the +spinning-wheel and the heavy thud of the loom will greet your ears. In +one room you will very often see several beds, while the rest of the +furniture will consist of a few wooden chairs, a table and perhaps a +cupboard, and into this one room will be gathered the whole family, the +<span class="pagenum"><a name="page247" id="page247"></a>{247}</span> +women with old shawls over their heads, sitting by the fire chewing +tobacco, or with the invariable snuff-stick in their mouth. But +everywhere you will be treated with kindness and invariable civility. +"Come and see us," they say; "we are mighty poor folks, but we will do +the best we can." These mountaineers take life in a slow and easy way; +you cannot make them "step to Yankee time."</p> + +<p>Last Sabbath we attended one of the afternoon services. Our road passed +for several miles through a lovely forest, with its soft shadows and +calm repose. The only sound to break the stillness was the song of the +birds. After a while we heard ringing out through the pine woods the +echo of gospel hymns. Following the sound, and wending our way a little +farther through the woods, in a quiet glen we came to the school house +where the services were to be held. Here we found an earnest, attentive +audience. In one place an outdoor meeting was held. It was a rare, +perfect day. The people came in twos and threes, finding places wherever +they could. One could almost fancy that other scene of centuries ago, +beneath the blue skies of Palestine, where, when the multitude were +gathered upon the mountain, the Master "opened His mouth and taught +them."</p> + +<p>Among these mountaineers are young men and women eager in their desire +for knowledge, and anxious for an opportunity to learn of a better way +of life. We believe that to the question, "What of the night?" the +answer can be given, "The morning cometh."</p> + + +<hr class="full" /> + + +<p><a name="anniversary1" id="anniversary1"></a></p> +<h3>COMMENCEMENT AT FISK UNIVERSITY.</h3> + +<p class="center">By Miss Alice M.

No music but the best is +ever studied at Fisk, and the productions of the great composers are not +only well played, but also well appreciated by our students.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="page248" id="page248"></a>{248}</span> +The exhibition given by the <i>Gymnastic Department</i> showed that Fisk has +athletes as well as musicians. The young men went through a series of +feats which showed both agility and strength. If they fail in the work +of life, it will not be for lack of hard, well-trained muscles. This +department has been under the direction of a student for the past two +years.</p> + +<p>Rev. Ira Landrith, D.D., of Nashville, preached the annual "missionary +sermon." Dr. Landrith possesses true Southern eloquence, and was +listened to with marked attention. During the year he has, on several +occasions, expressed himself as heartily in sympathy with our work. Such +friendliness on the part of an influential Southerner is pleasant to +note.</p> + +<p>Dr. Beard, our secretary, preached the "baccalaureate sermon." He +presented in a very vivid manner the blessings to be won by those who +conquer the hindrances of life. He showed how the law of struggle is the +law of strength and of possession. The duty and necessity of overcoming +evil, as well as the rewards, were illustrated and urged.</p> + +<p>The various alumni associations are now endeavoring to raise a fund of +one thousand dollars for the university. They are faithful to their alma +mater.</p> + +<p>The graduating exercises of the Normal Department were largely attended, +and the thirteen young women of the class would have been listened to on +any Northern commencement platform with earnest and thoughtful +attention. President Cravath's address to them was on "The New Woman." +"The educated young colored woman of to-day," he said, "is, in a +peculiar sense, the new woman of her race." He contrasted the +opportunities of the young women before him with those which their +mothers had, and besought them to consider their peculiar +responsibilities linked with their opportunities.</p> + +<p>For the regular college graduation exercises every seat in the spacious +chapel was filled. Plants and wild-flowers had been used to decorate the +platform, while large flags were artistically draped on either side. The +class, numbering fifteen, occupied the front seats. President Cravath, +Dr. Beard, and other guests were on the platform. The orations were, +without exception, highly creditable. The speakers chose subjects of +current interest instead of recounting the exploits of the ancient +Greeks and Romans or making Napoleon fight his battles over again for +us. They bore the marks of thoughtful and accurate study. After the +conferring of the degrees, the audience rose while the Mozart Society +rendered the Hallelujah Chorus. What a debt of gratitude we owe to +Handel for giving us that Chorus! General Fisk used to say that there +were glories and hallelujahs and amens enough in it to make several +rousing Methodist camp-meetings.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="page249" id="page249"></a>{249}</span> +After the commencement exercises a collation was served to which all +the alumni and the parents of the students present were invited. After +the refreshments the speeches followed. These were not of the +time-honored sort. Fathers and mothers rose and told of the struggles +they had made to get their boy or girl through school. Many were the +expressions of gladness and of hope, and when President Cravath +announced that the school year was ended, all of those who had taught +felt rewarded for the toils and anxieties of a fruitful college year.</p> + + +<hr class="quarter" /> + +<p><a name="anniversary2" id="anniversary2"></a></p> +<h3>HOWARD UNIVERSITY, THEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, D.C.</h3> + +<p class="center">By Prof. J.H. Ewell, D.D.</p> + +<p>The American Missionary Association was obliged to reduce the +appropriation for our work by one-fourth this year. This has occasioned +so much extra work, care, and anxiety, but the good hand of our Heavenly +Father has been upon us, and the teachers have increased their hours in +the classroom, and kind friends and churches have lent a helping hand. +Grateful mention should be made of large assistance from the First +Congregational Church, of Washington, and of aid from young churches +with heavy burdens upon them. One devoted and steadfast friend who gave +according to her power, yea, gave beyond her power; whose means were +small, but whose charities were large, because she spent so little upon +herself, Miss Mary F. Andrews, of Millbury, has been called home during +the year. Who will take her place? I wish there were space to speak of +all who have co-operated with us by giving. Almost every gift has some +association that has made it specially cheering.</p> + +<p>Our Anniversary Exercises received the heartiest commendation. The class +numbered eight more than four years previously. We are greatly +encouraged by the good work that our graduates are doing. May the Lord +reward all of our beloved supporters!

A.W. Curtis.</p> + +<p>Lincoln Academy is beautiful for situation, in the midst of groves of +young pine, on a considerable plateau sloping southward, overlooking +<span class="pagenum"><a name="page250" id="page250"></a>{250}</span> +the valley of a little creek with the grand old mountain towering above +them on the farther side. A quiet restful spot removed from the +temptations of town life, four miles from the village station; just the +place for the great family home school which I found on this occasion, +Wednesday night, busy as bees preparing for the great event of the year. +The boys had put up a brush arbor in the grove near by, and provided +plenty of plank seats beneath.</p> + +<p>We had a rousing Christian Endeavor meeting that night, the last of the +session. All of the students belong to the Senior or Junior branch, and +with the schedule topic, "The Widening of Christ's Kingdom," brought +home and made personal, "What can I do to extend Christ's Kingdom during +this vacation?" Many very practical talks were given, and many pledges +of best endeavor to this end in the home life or where they were +expecting to teach through the summer. Strange noises were heard during +the night, which the morning light explained by the covered wagons, +prairie schooners we would call them at the West, which had come in and +camped out near the spring. As the hour approached a perfect string of +nondescript vehicles bringing the whole family, and many others on +muleback or on foot, came pouring in from near and far, until by 10 A.M. +nearly one thousand people had gathered in and around the arbor; some of +them coming from thirty to fifty miles overland.</p> + +<p>"Old Glory" had been floating from the flagstaff above the central +school building all the morning, and now the scholars, neatly dressed, +came marching up the hill and crowded the platform to sing their welcome +song. Prayer was offered by one of the first graduates, now a minister. +Then the principal, and lady general, gave out the orders for the day in +such a womanly and winning way as showed her fully mistress of the +situation.</p> + +<p>"No <i>smoking</i> anywhere on the school-grounds; no changing of seats +during any exercise; no selling of liquors or even ice cream, lemonade, +or other refreshments—not because these latter were not good in +themselves, but because of the temptation to spend money which they +could not afford in these hard times, and while complaining that they +could not raise money for the schooling of their children, they must not +spend their nickels in such ways. Take care of their nickels and they +would soon count up to dollars."</p> + +<p>Several hucksters and peddlers, who had come with their wares, the +principal succeeded in driving off, and in a region where whisky has +flowed freely and smoking is almost their vital breath, she that day had +an orderly assemblage of nearly a thousand, on uncomfortable seats, +quiet and interested for four and a half hours without any intermission!</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="page251" id="page251"></a>{251}</span> +It was a very carefully prepared program; speeches, essays, recitals, +dialogues, and such splendid singing as only these trained voices of +colored students can give. It was no easy matter to speak so as to be +heard by such a crowd in the open air, but every girl as well as boy +succeeded admirably, and all showed most careful training and drill. The +themes chosen were very practical and fitted to the occasion.</p> + +<p>Tobacco got rough and fearless handling, and liquor-drinking was rebuked +in almost every conceivable way and rubbed in repeatedly. The old and +the modern ways of teaching were compared and illustrated; indeed, every +recitation was evidently selected with reference to its moral effect.</p> + +<p>Certainly these huge commencement gatherings are themselves educators +for the fathers and mothers and kinsfolk of these young people, whom +they are proud to see doing so well. The words of all the songs were +thoroughly learned, so they will do service in many another gathering +wherever these students may be. It was the writer's privilege to give +the commencement address on "Making the best use of life as God's plan +for our highest good."</p> + +<p>Thursday night we held a parting communion service with the +Congregational Church, which is mainly composed of students. The maps +shown me and many of their examination papers were exceptionally good. +Last winter mumps and measles successively swept through the school, and +at one time made the home almost a hospital, but the brave teachers went +through all, kept up recitations with the well ones, and nursed the sick +and brought them all safely through without the expense of a doctor. Now +all were well and evidently thriving on good food, though it is marvel +to me how good board can be afforded with tuition, and all expenses +covered for $4.50 per month, and yet work be furnished to most of them +for one-third of that, bringing the cash outlay to <i>ten cents a day!</i> +but they do it, and a happier household I have never seen than those who +gather at Lincoln Academy.</p> + +<p>A white man with whom I was talking at the station said, "Those lady +teachers are doing a great work for this whole region."</p> + +<p>So the leaven works.</p> + + +<hr class="quarter" /> + +<p><a name="anniversary4" id="anniversary4"></a></p> +<h3>ALLEN NORMAL SCHOOL, THOMASVILLE, GA.</h3> + +<p class="center">By Miss Amelia Merriam.</p> + +<p>The fact that with the graduation of the class of '96 our school would +complete its first decade, added interest to the occasion.</p> + +<p>One member of the class has been in the school from its organization. In +the class history she gave quite a vivid description of those trying +<span class="pagenum"><a name="page252" id="page252"></a>{252}</span> +days when the building at Quitman, Ga., where the school was first +gathered, was burned to the ground, as the result of hostile feeling on +the part of the citizens of the place. Certainly there has been progress +toward a just appreciation of the work of the American Missionary +Association in the communities where its work has been done, as seen in +the kindly feeling toward the school manifested in various ways by the +people of Thomasville.</p> + +<p>Of the six graduates, five are young women; three of these begin their +work of teaching in country schools immediately. One, the valedictorian +of the class, has already written something in regard to her +surroundings. At the place, which is the best in the neighborhood, where +she was to board—if the word may be used in connection with such a +state of things—she writes that there is almost nothing in the way of +necessities for decent living. There is not a lamp in the house; not +even a tallow candle, the room in which the family eat and sleep being +lighted only by building a fire upon the hearth. Of such an article as a +towel they apparently do not know the use; and the one basin in which +she washed her hands serves for various other domestic purposes. Almost +the only household appliances are two ovens, as they are called—two +flat-bottomed, shallow iron kettles, with iron covers, and legs a few +inches long. Under these kettles, out of doors, the fire is made, and +coals put upon the flat covers. In this way the hoe-cake is baked in +one, while the bacon is fried in the other. These two viands, with an +occasional mess of greens or potatoes, constitute the bill of fare month +in and month out. No wonder the poor girl lost her appetite. She was +supplied from the Home with what she needed to make herself comfortable +in the one very small room which she is fortunate enough to have to +herself.</p> + +<p>It is from country places like these that we wish to bring scholars into +the school. The truth is that the young people in these communities are +too ignorant to have any desire for anything different from what they +now have. Here is an almost limitless home missionary field, to be +worked by the graduates of our schools. These teachers are good +object-lessons, showing what an education, including a knowledge of +homemaking, as well as what is learned from books, can do for boys and +girls like themselves.</p> + +<p>We rejoice in the fact that when the school closed, all of the girls in +the Hall were professedly disciples of Christ, and will, we believe, go +back to their homes to be better daughters and more helpful members of +the communities so much in need of the influences which we trust they +will exert.</p> + +<p>Five of our scholars connected themselves with our church at the last +communion service.</p> + + +<hr class="quarter" /> + +<p><a name="anniversary5" id="anniversary5"></a> +<span class="pagenum"><a name="page253" id="page253"></a>{253}</span></p> +<h3>SALUDA SEMINARY, N.C.</h3> + +<p class="center">By Rev.

Visitors overflowed the schoolrooms before the appointed hour. +After the introductory march had been rendered by one of the music +pupils on the beautiful Estey piano which adorned the platform, there +was not a standing place left for seeing nor hearing. The young people +kept everybody interested and pleased for three hours, by readings, +recitations, instrumental music, and songs. "The Delsarte Children," a +drill by eight little girls, whose motions were accompanied with strains +of music, was prettily and accurately presented, and was much +appreciated.</p> + +<p>A cantata, "THE VOICES OF NATURE," was presented by the Juniors, and was +an interesting and pleasing feature of the evening, and showed that +careful instruction had been given by the teacher of music. Two well +prepared essays were read by their authors; one for, and the other +against, "Woman Suffrage."</p> + +<p>The "SALUDA HERALD," a paper of thirty-two pages, published by the +pupils of the school, was read by four of its editors. This paper +contained many good things in the form of prose, poems, puns, and +puzzles. It abounded in wit and good humor. Its production was a credit +to the young people and added much to the enjoyment of the visitors; and +it was also unmistakable evidence that the young people attending this +school are taught to think and to write their thoughts with grammatical +accuracy, and also to give intelligent vocal expression to the same. +Saluda is highly favored in having this excellent school within its +borders.</p> + + +<hr class="quarter" /> + +<p><a name="anniversary6" id="anniversary6"></a></p> +<h3>BURRELL SCHOOL, SELMA, ALA.</h3> + +<p class="center">By Prof. A.T.

It is to be said that Selma is a generous town, when +entertainments come as at this season for the colored schools here. +Burrell presented one for the primaries, in which an entire grade +appeared upon the stage, some children impersonating trees planted by +other children and growing as by magic, while still others played "hide +and seek" about the trees or built nests therein.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="page254" id="page254"></a>{254}</span> +On the second programme, intermingled with the usual dialogues and +"speeches" so loudly demanded by all pupils, there were the essays of +three who had completed the tenth grade, and some excellent music, with +shadow pictures, etc.</p> + +<p>But the chief interest centered in the drama, that brought a crowded +house on Wednesday evening, and was repeated the next week.</p> + +<p>Public examinations were held for three days, beginning Friday the 22d, +when a good number of friends visited the different rooms, noted the +work of the pupils, and shared with the teachers the quizzing of the +pupils, who seemed to enjoy their part. Not the least interesting +because thoroughly practical was the display of garments, stitching and +mending in the sewing-room; and, in the blacksmith and the carpenter +shops, articles manufactured by the boys. The school ground gives +evidence of workmen—attending to fences, repairs on buildings, a shop, +and two pump-shelters erected.</p> + +<p>The catalogue just issued lists 287 students, a gain of twenty-four per +cent. in two years; gives a history of Burrell from its start in 1869, +and among former students names all the lady teachers of the city +school, besides five on other faculties in Selma.</p> + + +<hr class="quarter" /> + +<p><a name="anniversary7" id="anniversary7"></a></p> +<h3>BLOWING ROCK, N.C.</h3> + +<p class="center">By Mrs. Ellen R.

There were seven graduates—six young men +and one young woman. There were six orations, and all were so good that +a higher institution might well be proud of them. At our Social meeting +on the morning of the 26th, we had pleasant talks and addresses, after +which the industrial work, papers on nursing and examination papers were +exhibited. There were dresses, aprons, undergarments, sets of +button-holes, quilts, skirts, cushions, specimens of darning and +patching, and various fancy articles, some of them exceedingly well +done. We also had delicate work from the kindergarten and primary rooms; +paper folding and card sewing, showing great neatness of little fingers.</p> + +<p>Among other papers of interest were those from the general history +class. Each pupil selected some country or character for review, and so +our work extended from old China and Egypt to modern Africa. One young +man writing on the last named country was induced to give the article to +the State through the newspapers and it has been published.</p> + +<p>Some of our young people are teaching, and others are at other work. +There are very few summer schools here now, and those opened are only +for primary grades.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="page256" id="page256"></a>{256}</span> +The Lincoln school is reaping honors at Tougaloo University.

Alas for the people that do not feel at home save in a one-roomed +cabin, and do not feel the necessity of work unless they are hungry.

A few questions brought out the +trouble, and revealed the fact that she owned a pile of lumber near by. +I asked her why they did not repair it.

I found that her daughter was teaching school in +the country, and had $25 already due her that she could use for the +work. I told her to have one room put up at once, and build others as +she had money. She thought a little, then said, "Tell me all about it, +and I'll do just as you say."

We have gathered the +first fruits of our work; we hope there will be a greater harvest in +years to come.</p> + +<p>At the communion service, on June 7, three of our pupils were received +into the church. The next Thursday came the evening of declamations, +recitations, and music, for which the pupils had been preparing. During +the last four weeks it was a common thing to find a boy declaiming to an +imaginary audience in the schoolroom, or to find a girl reciting in +some secluded spot in the yard, or on the hills in the pasture. In most +schools that is nothing worthy of remark, but to us it shows that the +young people are beginning to feel that their success depends on their +own efforts.</p> + +<p>When the evening came we had an enjoyable entertainment. The house was +decorated with the tall, graceful stems of the Solomon's Seal, and the +platform had a rug and potted plants upon it, and our two beautiful +flags draped behind it.</p> + +<p>Among the recitations, "Betty, the Bound Girl," and "The Peril of a +Passenger Train," were well rendered. Lowell's "A Day in June" was given +with a pleasant voice and manner that fitted the poem. There was an +organ solo, an organ duet, and a sprightly little song by a quartet, +"All Among the Barley." Among the best things were part of an address by +Channing on "Distinction of Mind and Material Forms," and one by +Mitchell on "The First View of the Heavens." The thoughts were noble and +nobly expressed, and the young men delivered them with thoughtfulness +and appreciation, which made us glad, especially as these addresses were +their own choice.</p> + + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="page258" id="page258"></a>{258}</span> +Immediately after these exercises we all adjourned to the dining room +to see what the girls had done in their little missionary society. Here +was a table gay with pretty articles they had made. Among them were a +nice comfortable, some embroidered doilies, chair pillows, handkerchief +cases, and other things. Most of them were quickly sold. There was also +ice-cream and cake for sale. The girls took about seventeen dollars by +their fair, and the proceeds are to go to the A.M.A.</p> + +<p>The next day was the last. We planned to have an exhibition of school +and industrial work during the forenoon, and parade of cadets in the +afternoon. And, in order to give the pupils a little uplift of +enthusiasm in a good cause, we arranged to have a Christian Endeavor +rally of societies from five neighboring towns, and also to invite the +members of two Sunday-schools that are bravely "lifting the gospel +banner," each in a scattered community near by, where there is no +church.</p> + +<p>The people began to arrive about half-past ten. One party came in a +large farm wagon made gay with flags.</p> + +<p>We hastened to take them about. In the blacksmith shop, two young men +who had been in school only a year, were making some steel nut-crackers. +A table covered with hooks, bolts, chains, towels, ice-picks, etc., +represented the work done during the year. In the printing office, the +boys were turning the press, and printing our Indian paper. The +carpenter-shop exhibit contained some neat boxes, tables, and cabinets, +and here some small boys were at work making joints. In the cooking +school, the girls were making biscuits, coffee, and corn-bread, while +the table was covered with nice loaves of bread, cake, rolls, and +cookies, made the day before. Here, also, the girls' sewing was +displayed. There was a neat set of doll's clothing, a doll's mattress, +pillows, sheets, and pillow-cases, a number of boys' shirts ready for +use in the school, beside other clothing for the girls.</p> + +<p>The primary schoolroom contained clay animals, weaving and sewing done +by the kindergarten class, and some neat language and number work by the +older pupils. The other schoolrooms also had illustrated language work, +examination papers, maps on paper and in sand, and a collection of +botanical specimens.</p> + +<p>About seventy-five visitors came from neighboring towns. They enjoyed +looking at the school work, and they enjoyed their lunch under the +trees, and the marching and drilling of the boys with their wooden guns.</p> + +<p>But the best thing in the day was the meeting in the afternoon. Our +Christian Endeavor guests, with the school and some of the agency people +and neighboring Indians, filled the chapel full. Several of the +<span class="pagenum"><a name="page259" id="page259"></a>{259}</span> +societies had pretty banners, and it was inspiring to see them come +marching in. The meeting was just a warm-hearted Christian Endeavor +meeting. Each society responded by a verse of Scripture recited in +concert, or a song, or by the words of some member chosen to represent +them. There was also time for volunteer prayers and testimonies, and a +number of songs. We were all glad to be there—glad to belong to a great +army of Christian workers—and we believe our boys and girls will not +forget it, but that the thoughts of that hour will help to make them +strong.</p> + +<p>After these guests went home, there yet remained the principal's +reception in the evening, where the school gathered with our Agency and +Indian friends, to talk a little while and say goodbye. There was one +delightful little surprise when Dr. Riggs called up thirteen of the +Indian girls and gave to each, as a reward for faithful, successful work +in bread-making, a copy of a cook-book to take home with her. The pupils +enjoyed all these last days, but especially the Christian Endeavor +rally, and we shall remember this year's close as our Christian Endeavor +commencement.</p> + + +<hr class="full" /> + + +<p><a name="chinese1" id="chinese1"></a></p> +<h3>CHINESE.</h3> + +<p>The following letter was written by a young man who was converted in our +Chinese school in Salt Lake City.

Address . . . . . . . . . . . . . . | + +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ + + +JUBILEE SHARES. + +Our readers will notice that our jubilee share list is increasing in +numbers. We have reason to be grateful to God in that he has moved the +hearts of so many and led them to help our Lord's needy ones. We would +that those who have responded to our appeals could see the things that +we see, and hear the things which we hear. We have nothing but gratitude +for the fact that in this time of financial distress and uncertainty, +when money is so hard to get, the cause which we bring to the Christian +love and patriotism of good people is not losing, but gaining in their +sympathies and help. This trying year--trying to so many, therefore +trying to us--brings a jubilee thanksgiving to us, in that we are not +sinking deeper into the horrible pit and miry clay of debt, but are +little by little being pulled out of the slough. We know not how long +the pull may be, but if those who love the Lord Jesus Christ will pull +all together we shall not fail, and we need not be discouraged. Our feet +will get upon a rock and our goings be established; for which we pray. + + +LEADERS. + +The _Home Mission Monthly_ of the American Baptist Home Mission Society, +in an article upon "Leaders," agrees with us in saying: "A different +style of men is needed as leaders of the colored people to-day from that +of those who aspired to leadership twenty-five years ago; the race has +made great progress; there are multitudes now of Negro men and women who +have had the advantages of the common schools, many who have a college +education, and some who have university culture; to wisely influence +them in their thought and action is more difficult than to control the +masses of the illiterate and untrained. It is especially worthy of +consideration that among the Negroes of the South to-day are some men of +power and of education who are leaders; but whose leadership, +unfortunately, is in the wrong direction. This renders it all the more +urgent that the Mission Society and kindred organizations should seek to +supply them with a class of leaders who, by reason of their godly +character, their knowledge, their training, their consecration, will be +able to counteract the evil influences now at work, and to lead their +people into paths of righteousness. + +"The Mission Society does not attempt to provide a college education +for the multitudes of Negroes; even this would be a task beyond its +resources. What it does aim to do is simply to secure, if possible, +the education of a comparatively few young men and young women, who +shall become leaders among their people; men and women who by their +knowledge, training, culture, power, will be able to organize and +direct the energies of the masses of the people. Leaders are needed, +and these should be thoroughly competent for leadership; it is a hard +task to influence successfully the development of a race of eight +million people, and those who attempt the work require natural +qualities of a high order and also unusual attainments." + +What is to prevent these people who have been enfranchised from +becoming the prey of demagogues and designing men who wish to use +them for unchristian purposes and in unchristian ways, unless they have +large minded, thoroughly educated leaders with knowledge of history +and of life who can lead their own people in the ways of righteousness? +Events now transpiring give significance to this question. + + + * * * * * + + +The University of Pennsylvania has conferred the degree of Doctor +of Philosophy on Mr. Lewis B. Moore, who graduated from Fisk University +a few years ago. We listened to his "graduating address" at +the close of his college years at Fisk, whence he went to Philadelphia +to take charge of a branch of the Y.M.C.A. While attending to the +laborious duties of this position he has, during four years of earnest, +patient, and thorough study, earned his degree of Ph.D. in Greek +and Latin and Ethics, in one of the severest graduate schools in the +country. Dr. Moore is one of "our boys"; and there are many of +them who are preparing themselves, by their vision of a larger life +and their attainment of larger possessions, to be wise leaders among +their people. Dr. Moore is now an instructor in Howard University, +Washington, D.C. + + + * * * * * + + +There are those who object to the constitutional rights of the Negro, +and some who object to his Christian privileges, lest his recognition as +a man shall lead to "social equality," whatever this may mean. The +following from a leading Negro paper, _i.e._, edited by a Negro for a +Negro constituency, is a testimony as to what is and what is not the +Negro's idea of "recognition": + +"That the Negroes in recognizing constitutional rights are at the same +time seeking an arbitrary social equality with any other race is +erroneous. From the time of emancipation, the colored people have had no +disposition to force a social alliance with the whites. The colored +citizens have all their civil and political rights, and these rights +they demand. When honored colored men or women enter a first-class +hotel or restaurant, or seek a decent stateroom on a steamer, they do +not enter these places because they are seeking social contact with the +whites, but because they demand their just privileges for their personal +protection and comfort." + + + * * * * * + + +HARRIET BEECHER STOWE. + +Of the illustrious ones who laid the foundations for the liberation of +the slave, the name of Harriet Beecher Stowe leads all the rest. + +What America's greatest woman did towards making freedom possible, our +devoted and consecrated women teachers have been carrying out these +thirty years to the full Christian conclusion. Those who read the +records of the closing days of our schools in this present August number +of THE MISSIONARY will be reminded how these faithful teachers are still +engaged completing the unfinished work of their greater sister. + +Next to "Uncle Tom's Cabin," perhaps the book which has the truest stamp +of the genius of Mrs. Stowe is her "Old Town Folks." In her incomparable +description of "School Days in Cloudland," in which she shows how her +sympathies went out to the people of every nation and tongue who are +oppressed, she compares the influences of education in New England with +a country without schoolhouses, saying: "Look at Spain at this hour and +look back at New England at the time of which I write, and compare the +Spanish peasantry with the yeomen of New England. If Spain had had not a +single cathedral, if her Murillos had all been sunk in the sea, and if +she had had, for a hundred years past, a set of schoolmasters and +ministers working together as I have described Mr. Avery and Mr. +Rossiter as working, would not Spain be infinitely better off for this +life at least? That is the point that I humbly present to the +consideration of the public." + +This point which Mrs. Stowe presents to the consideration of the public, +is the one to which her younger sisters are faithfully directing their +faith and their works among a people who up to Mrs. Stowe's day never +saw a schoolhouse. + +We make our tribute to the gracious memory of her whose words went out +into all the world and extended to the ends of the earth: and we ask +remembrance of those who under the same inspiration are living among the +children of these liberated ones and are taking with them the love and +wisdom of Him who was "anointed to preach the gospel to the poor, the +recovery of sight to the blind, and to proclaim the acceptable year of +the Lord." + +We are sometimes asked how this work of education, which Mrs. Stowe did +more than any other person to inaugurate, is regarded by the intelligent +white people of the South. We can gladly say that we have too much +recognition and appreciation of our work among good people of the South +to be otherwise than thankful for it, and for the fact that these good +people are increasing every year in numbers and in readiness to +encourage us. We have never united in more earnest prayers for our work, +and for those who carry it on, even in our annual meetings than in our +worship in the South with many Southern pastors, and nowhere have we +heard more appreciative words respecting our work than from good people +of the South who have acquainted themselves with what we are doing and +how we are doing it. That multitudes are still unable to see and unready +to prophesy does not count. The day of appreciative recognition has not +fully come, but it has dawned, and will come by and by. + + + * * * * * + + +THE HISTORIES OF OUR CHURCHES. + +We have asked the pastors of some of our churches to give to us +sketches of the histories of those churches--their location, pastors +and membership, the condition of their members financially and otherwise, +how many have homes of their own, and what are their employments. +The details are truthful and are of value as showing the people +in their church, home, and business life. + + + * * * * * + + +DEER LODGE, TENN. + +By Mrs. Ella Gill Sedgwick. + +Deer Lodge, on the Cumberland Plateau in east Tennessee, is delightfully +located. The adjacent country is highly picturesque--rocky cliffs, deep +ravines, winding wooded streams, giving beauty to the landscape. To the +eastward, stretching far in undulating lines, are the mountains, seen +through a purple mist of great beauty. We often repeat the words, "As +the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his +people." We are nearly 2,000 feet above the level of the sea, so the air +is pure and healthful. A spicy fragrance fills the air, blown down from +the pines that crown the hills. + +Deer Lodge has been settled mostly by Northern people. In a religious +point of view we are divided into Congregationalists, Methodists, and +Baptists, with a few Episcopalians. There is only one church building, +however, the Congregationalists'. This is a beautiful little edifice +worthy of the growing importance of this interesting field on the +Cumberland Plateau. The church has a choice location on Ross Avenue. + +On April 13, 1889, the corner-stone was laid, and on August 4 of the +same year the church was dedicated. The church has good officers and +earnest working members. The present membership is forty-one. No +hostility is shown toward our church by the members of other churches, +but all are united and recognize in every one who loves the Master a +fellow-worker in the vineyard of Christ. + +The present pastor, Rev. G. Lusty, during his residence among us has +endeared himself to all. A promising work is being done in the +Sabbath-school, and we believe that from it constantly go forth many +little rills of influence that are entering the homes and bringing the +people a higher and purer life. The Christian Endeavor society is doing +a good work among the young people. The prayer-meetings held on Thursday +evenings are well attended. The growth of the church has not been rapid, +but is steady, and during its history has enjoyed some revivals of +religion. + +Under the direction of the pastor's loyal wife the young people have +been gathered into a sewing-school at her home every Saturday afternoon, +and everything is done to encourage the little fingers in their attempts +to guide the needle; and we feel that here, too, is a work being done +that will bring forth fruit in the homes. + +The barrels of supplies, sent to us by friends in other States, have +enabled us to assist many needy ones. While packing these missionary +boxes, if you could only see "the other end of the line" you would feel +rewarded for your gifts. The kindness done for Christ's sake will not be +forgotten. + +The country around Deer Lodge is sparsely settled. One can travel miles +without meeting any one. The people are somewhere--where, we are unable +to tell; yet when they have an opportunity to hear preaching you will +always find many people gathered in the schoolhouse where the "meeting" +is to be held. In traveling through the surrounding country you will see +many rough log houses, with only one room and often without windows, two +doors opposite each other, one door always kept open winter and summer. +A huge fire-place is in one end of the room. If you would have a view of +humanity in its simplicity, visit one of these mountain homes. You will +find everything of the most primitive kind. The hum of the +spinning-wheel and the heavy thud of the loom will greet your ears. In +one room you will very often see several beds, while the rest of the +furniture will consist of a few wooden chairs, a table and perhaps a +cupboard, and into this one room will be gathered the whole family, the +women with old shawls over their heads, sitting by the fire chewing +tobacco, or with the invariable snuff-stick in their mouth. But +everywhere you will be treated with kindness and invariable civility. +"Come and see us," they say; "we are mighty poor folks, but we will do +the best we can." These mountaineers take life in a slow and easy way; +you cannot make them "step to Yankee time." + +Last Sabbath we attended one of the afternoon services. Our road passed +for several miles through a lovely forest, with its soft shadows and +calm repose. The only sound to break the stillness was the song of the +birds. After a while we heard ringing out through the pine woods the +echo of gospel hymns. Following the sound, and wending our way a little +farther through the woods, in a quiet glen we came to the school house +where the services were to be held. Here we found an earnest, attentive +audience. In one place an outdoor meeting was held. It was a rare, +perfect day. The people came in twos and threes, finding places wherever +they could. One could almost fancy that other scene of centuries ago, +beneath the blue skies of Palestine, where, when the multitude were +gathered upon the mountain, the Master "opened His mouth and taught +them." + +Among these mountaineers are young men and women eager in their desire +for knowledge, and anxious for an opportunity to learn of a better way +of life. We believe that to the question, "What of the night?" the +answer can be given, "The morning cometh." + + + * * * * * + + +COMMENCEMENT AT FISK UNIVERSITY. + +By Miss Alice M. Garsden. + +I cannot promise you a sketch of our commencement abounding in local +color, for, if one were afflicted with color-blindness, he would +probably be unable to discover many points of difference between +commencement at Fisk and the same exercises at an Eastern college of +about the same size. + +As a mere reprint of the programs of the various anniversary exercises, +which continued for three or four days, would occupy more space than is +allowed for this article, it is evident that many things of interest +must be crowded out. + +_The Department of Music_ gave a characteristic performance. Every +selection on the program was well rendered. No music but the best is +ever studied at Fisk, and the productions of the great composers are not +only well played, but also well appreciated by our students. + +The exhibition given by the _Gymnastic Department_ showed that Fisk has +athletes as well as musicians. The young men went through a series of +feats which showed both agility and strength. If they fail in the work +of life, it will not be for lack of hard, well-trained muscles. This +department has been under the direction of a student for the past two +years. + +Rev. Ira Landrith, D.D., of Nashville, preached the annual "missionary +sermon." Dr. Landrith possesses true Southern eloquence, and was +listened to with marked attention. During the year he has, on several +occasions, expressed himself as heartily in sympathy with our work. Such +friendliness on the part of an influential Southerner is pleasant to +note. + +Dr. Beard, our secretary, preached the "baccalaureate sermon." He +presented in a very vivid manner the blessings to be won by those who +conquer the hindrances of life. He showed how the law of struggle is the +law of strength and of possession. The duty and necessity of overcoming +evil, as well as the rewards, were illustrated and urged. + +The various alumni associations are now endeavoring to raise a fund of +one thousand dollars for the university. They are faithful to their alma +mater. + +The graduating exercises of the Normal Department were largely attended, +and the thirteen young women of the class would have been listened to on +any Northern commencement platform with earnest and thoughtful +attention. President Cravath's address to them was on "The New Woman." +"The educated young colored woman of to-day," he said, "is, in a +peculiar sense, the new woman of her race." He contrasted the +opportunities of the young women before him with those which their +mothers had, and besought them to consider their peculiar +responsibilities linked with their opportunities. + +For the regular college graduation exercises every seat in the spacious +chapel was filled. Plants and wild-flowers had been used to decorate the +platform, while large flags were artistically draped on either side. The +class, numbering fifteen, occupied the front seats. President Cravath, +Dr. Beard, and other guests were on the platform. The orations were, +without exception, highly creditable. The speakers chose subjects of +current interest instead of recounting the exploits of the ancient +Greeks and Romans or making Napoleon fight his battles over again for +us. They bore the marks of thoughtful and accurate study. After the +conferring of the degrees, the audience rose while the Mozart Society +rendered the Hallelujah Chorus. What a debt of gratitude we owe to +Handel for giving us that Chorus! General Fisk used to say that there +were glories and hallelujahs and amens enough in it to make several +rousing Methodist camp-meetings. + +After the commencement exercises a collation was served to which all +the alumni and the parents of the students present were invited. After +the refreshments the speeches followed. These were not of the +time-honored sort. Fathers and mothers rose and told of the struggles +they had made to get their boy or girl through school. Many were the +expressions of gladness and of hope, and when President Cravath +announced that the school year was ended, all of those who had taught +felt rewarded for the toils and anxieties of a fruitful college year. + + + * * * * * + + +HOWARD UNIVERSITY, THEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, D.C. + +By Prof. J.H. Ewell, D.D. + +The American Missionary Association was obliged to reduce the +appropriation for our work by one-fourth this year. This has occasioned +so much extra work, care, and anxiety, but the good hand of our Heavenly +Father has been upon us, and the teachers have increased their hours in +the classroom, and kind friends and churches have lent a helping hand. +Grateful mention should be made of large assistance from the First +Congregational Church, of Washington, and of aid from young churches +with heavy burdens upon them. One devoted and steadfast friend who gave +according to her power, yea, gave beyond her power; whose means were +small, but whose charities were large, because she spent so little upon +herself, Miss Mary F. Andrews, of Millbury, has been called home during +the year. Who will take her place? I wish there were space to speak of +all who have co-operated with us by giving. Almost every gift has some +association that has made it specially cheering. + +Our Anniversary Exercises received the heartiest commendation. The class +numbered eight more than four years previously. We are greatly +encouraged by the good work that our graduates are doing. May the Lord +reward all of our beloved supporters! We always pray for them and for +the Association, and for all our varied workers under its auspices, and +we ask especially that all who are interested in our work will pray for +us that Charles Wesley's petition may be fulfilled in us, + + "Write Thy new name upon my heart, + Thy best new name of Love." + + + * * * * * + + +LINCOLN ACADEMY, KING'S MOUNTAIN, N.C. + +By Rev. A.W. Curtis. + +Lincoln Academy is beautiful for situation, in the midst of groves of +young pine, on a considerable plateau sloping southward, overlooking +the valley of a little creek with the grand old mountain towering above +them on the farther side. A quiet restful spot removed from the +temptations of town life, four miles from the village station; just the +place for the great family home school which I found on this occasion, +Wednesday night, busy as bees preparing for the great event of the year. +The boys had put up a brush arbor in the grove near by, and provided +plenty of plank seats beneath. + +We had a rousing Christian Endeavor meeting that night, the last of the +session. All of the students belong to the Senior or Junior branch, and +with the schedule topic, "The Widening of Christ's Kingdom," brought +home and made personal, "What can I do to extend Christ's Kingdom during +this vacation?" Many very practical talks were given, and many pledges +of best endeavor to this end in the home life or where they were +expecting to teach through the summer. Strange noises were heard during +the night, which the morning light explained by the covered wagons, +prairie schooners we would call them at the West, which had come in and +camped out near the spring. As the hour approached a perfect string of +nondescript vehicles bringing the whole family, and many others on +muleback or on foot, came pouring in from near and far, until by 10 A.M. +nearly one thousand people had gathered in and around the arbor; some of +them coming from thirty to fifty miles overland. + +"Old Glory" had been floating from the flagstaff above the central +school building all the morning, and now the scholars, neatly dressed, +came marching up the hill and crowded the platform to sing their welcome +song. Prayer was offered by one of the first graduates, now a minister. +Then the principal, and lady general, gave out the orders for the day in +such a womanly and winning way as showed her fully mistress of the +situation. + +"No _smoking_ anywhere on the school-grounds; no changing of seats +during any exercise; no selling of liquors or even ice cream, lemonade, +or other refreshments--not because these latter were not good in +themselves, but because of the temptation to spend money which they +could not afford in these hard times, and while complaining that they +could not raise money for the schooling of their children, they must not +spend their nickels in such ways. Take care of their nickels and they +would soon count up to dollars." + +Several hucksters and peddlers, who had come with their wares, the +principal succeeded in driving off, and in a region where whisky has +flowed freely and smoking is almost their vital breath, she that day had +an orderly assemblage of nearly a thousand, on uncomfortable seats, +quiet and interested for four and a half hours without any intermission! + +It was a very carefully prepared program; speeches, essays, recitals, +dialogues, and such splendid singing as only these trained voices of +colored students can give. It was no easy matter to speak so as to be +heard by such a crowd in the open air, but every girl as well as boy +succeeded admirably, and all showed most careful training and drill. The +themes chosen were very practical and fitted to the occasion. + +Tobacco got rough and fearless handling, and liquor-drinking was rebuked +in almost every conceivable way and rubbed in repeatedly. The old and +the modern ways of teaching were compared and illustrated; indeed, every +recitation was evidently selected with reference to its moral effect. + +Certainly these huge commencement gatherings are themselves educators +for the fathers and mothers and kinsfolk of these young people, whom +they are proud to see doing so well. The words of all the songs were +thoroughly learned, so they will do service in many another gathering +wherever these students may be. It was the writer's privilege to give +the commencement address on "Making the best use of life as God's plan +for our highest good." + +Thursday night we held a parting communion service with the +Congregational Church, which is mainly composed of students. The maps +shown me and many of their examination papers were exceptionally good. +Last winter mumps and measles successively swept through the school, and +at one time made the home almost a hospital, but the brave teachers went +through all, kept up recitations with the well ones, and nursed the sick +and brought them all safely through without the expense of a doctor. Now +all were well and evidently thriving on good food, though it is marvel +to me how good board can be afforded with tuition, and all expenses +covered for $4.50 per month, and yet work be furnished to most of them +for one-third of that, bringing the cash outlay to _ten cents a day!_ +but they do it, and a happier household I have never seen than those who +gather at Lincoln Academy. + +A white man with whom I was talking at the station said, "Those lady +teachers are doing a great work for this whole region." + +So the leaven works. + + + * * * * * + + +ALLEN NORMAL SCHOOL, THOMASVILLE, GA. + +By Miss Amelia Merriam. + +The fact that with the graduation of the class of '96 our school would +complete its first decade, added interest to the occasion. + +One member of the class has been in the school from its organization. In +the class history she gave quite a vivid description of those trying +days when the building at Quitman, Ga., where the school was first +gathered, was burned to the ground, as the result of hostile feeling on +the part of the citizens of the place. Certainly there has been progress +toward a just appreciation of the work of the American Missionary +Association in the communities where its work has been done, as seen in +the kindly feeling toward the school manifested in various ways by the +people of Thomasville. + +Of the six graduates, five are young women; three of these begin their +work of teaching in country schools immediately. One, the valedictorian +of the class, has already written something in regard to her +surroundings. At the place, which is the best in the neighborhood, where +she was to board--if the word may be used in connection with such a +state of things--she writes that there is almost nothing in the way of +necessities for decent living. There is not a lamp in the house; not +even a tallow candle, the room in which the family eat and sleep being +lighted only by building a fire upon the hearth. Of such an article as a +towel they apparently do not know the use; and the one basin in which +she washed her hands serves for various other domestic purposes. Almost +the only household appliances are two ovens, as they are called--two +flat-bottomed, shallow iron kettles, with iron covers, and legs a few +inches long. Under these kettles, out of doors, the fire is made, and +coals put upon the flat covers. In this way the hoe-cake is baked in +one, while the bacon is fried in the other. These two viands, with an +occasional mess of greens or potatoes, constitute the bill of fare month +in and month out. No wonder the poor girl lost her appetite. She was +supplied from the Home with what she needed to make herself comfortable +in the one very small room which she is fortunate enough to have to +herself. + +It is from country places like these that we wish to bring scholars into +the school. The truth is that the young people in these communities are +too ignorant to have any desire for anything different from what they +now have. Here is an almost limitless home missionary field, to be +worked by the graduates of our schools. These teachers are good +object-lessons, showing what an education, including a knowledge of +homemaking, as well as what is learned from books, can do for boys and +girls like themselves. + +We rejoice in the fact that when the school closed, all of the girls in +the Hall were professedly disciples of Christ, and will, we believe, go +back to their homes to be better daughters and more helpful members of +the communities so much in need of the influences which we trust they +will exert. + +Five of our scholars connected themselves with our church at the last +communion service. + + + * * * * * + + +SALUDA SEMINARY, N.C. + +By Rev. E.W. Hollies. + +The closing exercises at Saluda Seminary took place on Friday evening, +May 1. Visitors overflowed the schoolrooms before the appointed hour. +After the introductory march had been rendered by one of the music +pupils on the beautiful Estey piano which adorned the platform, there +was not a standing place left for seeing nor hearing. The young people +kept everybody interested and pleased for three hours, by readings, +recitations, instrumental music, and songs. "The Delsarte Children," a +drill by eight little girls, whose motions were accompanied with strains +of music, was prettily and accurately presented, and was much +appreciated. + +A cantata, "THE VOICES OF NATURE," was presented by the Juniors, and was +an interesting and pleasing feature of the evening, and showed that +careful instruction had been given by the teacher of music. Two well +prepared essays were read by their authors; one for, and the other +against, "Woman Suffrage." + +The "SALUDA HERALD," a paper of thirty-two pages, published by the +pupils of the school, was read by four of its editors. This paper +contained many good things in the form of prose, poems, puns, and +puzzles. It abounded in wit and good humor. Its production was a credit +to the young people and added much to the enjoyment of the visitors; and +it was also unmistakable evidence that the young people attending this +school are taught to think and to write their thoughts with grammatical +accuracy, and also to give intelligent vocal expression to the same. +Saluda is highly favored in having this excellent school within its +borders. + + + * * * * * + + +BURRELL SCHOOL, SELMA, ALA. + +By Prof. A.T. Burnell. + +The year 1895-6 will be long remembered by all connected with Burrell +School, Selma, Ala., for the widespread religious interest gathering in +nearly half of those attending in March; for the continued increase of +enrolment, especially in the grammar and normal grades; and the closing +of this year will be remembered as a great and successful financial +endeavor, which netted for the school fifty dollars--"one jubilee +share." It is to be said that Selma is a generous town, when +entertainments come as at this season for the colored schools here. +Burrell presented one for the primaries, in which an entire grade +appeared upon the stage, some children impersonating trees planted by +other children and growing as by magic, while still others played "hide +and seek" about the trees or built nests therein. + +On the second programme, intermingled with the usual dialogues and +"speeches" so loudly demanded by all pupils, there were the essays of +three who had completed the tenth grade, and some excellent music, with +shadow pictures, etc. + +But the chief interest centered in the drama, that brought a crowded +house on Wednesday evening, and was repeated the next week. + +Public examinations were held for three days, beginning Friday the 22d, +when a good number of friends visited the different rooms, noted the +work of the pupils, and shared with the teachers the quizzing of the +pupils, who seemed to enjoy their part. Not the least interesting +because thoroughly practical was the display of garments, stitching and +mending in the sewing-room; and, in the blacksmith and the carpenter +shops, articles manufactured by the boys. The school ground gives +evidence of workmen--attending to fences, repairs on buildings, a shop, +and two pump-shelters erected. + +The catalogue just issued lists 287 students, a gain of twenty-four per +cent. in two years; gives a history of Burrell from its start in 1869, +and among former students names all the lady teachers of the city +school, besides five on other faculties in Selma. + + + * * * * * + + +BLOWING ROCK, N.C. + +By Mrs. Ellen R. Dorsett. + +Skyland Institute at Blowing Rock, N.C., has during the year continually +had in mind the saying, "Children should be seen and not heard," and so +has not lifted up her voice to report her work. But the child is now six +years old, is growing in beauty and strength, and needs some attention. + +The year has been one of good things. Our pupils have been of a better +class than in previous years, and better adapted to go out and teach. +Our attendance has been more regular, our tuition has been paid as a +rule, and, although epidemics have prevailed all about us, we have lived +under the banner of the ninety-first Psalm and "no evil has befallen +us." + +Our closing exercises consisted of reports from our different +organizations by a representative from each; class histories, and an +industrial exhibit on Tuesday afternoon, June 2. The following morning +Rev. J.L. Murphy gave us an address on the topic, "Wanted--A Man." It +was able, interesting, and inspiring. Mr. Murphy has for several years +been president of a girls' college in Hickory, N.C., and we were +fortunate in securing his services. + +We have more applications for places in our home and school next year +than we have places, and just as soon as _that debt_ is paid, the North +will hear a lusty cry from this child for _room, more room_. + + + * * * * * + + +ENFIELD, N.C. + +By Rev. T.S. Inborden. + +The Joseph K. Brick Agricultural, Industrial and Normal School, located +at Enfield, N.C., celebrated its first anniversary May 29. It was a +noteworthy occasion for many who had not before visited the old +plantation under the new regime. + +The exercises began at eight o'clock p.m., but as early as three o'clock +the people began to gather. They came on foot, in ox carts, wagons and +on bicycles. They were plain farmers, young teachers, politicians and +merchants. All were enthusiastic in their interest in the school. The +exercises were full of interest and the outlook for another year never +seemed brighter. Another year, God willing, we will show a great +advance. + + + * * * * * + + +LINCOLN SCHOOL, MERIDIAN, MISS. + +By Mrs. H.I. Miller. + +Our school closed its doors on the night of the 26th of May. All went +away saying "It was the best commencement Lincoln has ever had." I +heartily endorse the opinion. There were seven graduates--six young men +and one young woman. There were six orations, and all were so good that +a higher institution might well be proud of them. At our Social meeting +on the morning of the 26th, we had pleasant talks and addresses, after +which the industrial work, papers on nursing and examination papers were +exhibited. There were dresses, aprons, undergarments, sets of +button-holes, quilts, skirts, cushions, specimens of darning and +patching, and various fancy articles, some of them exceedingly well +done. We also had delicate work from the kindergarten and primary rooms; +paper folding and card sewing, showing great neatness of little fingers. + +Among other papers of interest were those from the general history +class. Each pupil selected some country or character for review, and so +our work extended from old China and Egypt to modern Africa. One young +man writing on the last named country was induced to give the article to +the State through the newspapers and it has been published. + +Some of our young people are teaching, and others are at other work. +There are very few summer schools here now, and those opened are only +for primary grades. + +The Lincoln school is reaping honors at Tougaloo University. Two +scholarships this year were won by two of our ex-graduates, and this +gives Lincoln the honor of five such prizes won in that institution. + +We shall greatly rejoice when the pulpits and places of great +responsibility are filled with intelligent leaders. We cannot but feel +amused, yet distressed, at the mis-read Scriptures. One brother in his +morning lesson from the pulpit said: "Brothers, we should be of the same +mind--_one body_ and mind, for it says here, 'the twins shall be one +flesh.'" A young man came to us, and asked help in writing his sermons. +He had no Bible; I urged his purchasing one, as he could read. One day +he came and said his text was the 14th of John. I inquired the passage. +"Oh," he said, "I takes the whole chapter, and so I don' have to say +much." It surely was the best way for his audience. + +Our class motto was "The Future needs us," and I trust all the class +will fully realize how much they are needed. + + + * * * * * + + +ITEM. + +There is an old colored man in Wilkes county who has never had his +membership changed from the white people's church at Independence. He +belonged to it when a slave and has held on to it. He attends services +regularly and does not intrude upon the congregation, but sits quietly +on the steps and listens to the sermon.--_Atlanta Constitution._ + + + * * * * * + + +A LESSON IN HOME BUILDING. + +By a Teacher. +Andersonville, Ga. + +A woman came in this evening to sell strawberries which were neatly +covered with a bit of white cloth. She looked around our sitting-room +and shook her turbaned head, saying, "I sure would be afraid to live in +this house." "Why," I asked, curious to know what fearful thing she saw +in her glance. "Oh, it's so big, and has so many rooms." Our cozy home, +so snug, with not an inch of unused room, that we call our "Bird's +Nest!" Alas for the people that do not feel at home save in a one-roomed +cabin, and do not feel the necessity of work unless they are hungry. I +long so, sometimes, for something that will make this people hungry and +thirsty for better things, that will make them dissatisfied with the +things that content them now. The longing is _sure_ to come, if we can +have patience to wait. + +A woman a short distance away lives in a house whose roof lets in the +water in streams during a heavy rain. She called on us in the spring so +hoarse that she could hardly speak. A few questions brought out the +trouble, and revealed the fact that she owned a pile of lumber near by. +I asked her why they did not repair it. She thought it too old, and the +reason she gave for not building a new one was that she was waiting for +her "old man" to begin. I found that her daughter was teaching school in +the country, and had $25 already due her that she could use for the +work. I told her to have one room put up at once, and build others as +she had money. She thought a little, then said, "Tell me all about it, +and I'll do just as you say." Now the room is nearly finished (not +ceiled or plastered, for such extras are almost unknown), and a prouder +woman would be hard to find. All are not so willing to be taught, but I +rejoice over every improvement. + + + * * * * * + + +AMONG THE INDIANS. + +CLOSING EXERCISES AT SANTEE NORMAL SCHOOL. + +By Miss Edith Leonard. + +The last busy days of the school year are over. We have gathered the +first fruits of our work; we hope there will be a greater harvest in +years to come. + +At the communion service, on June 7, three of our pupils were received +into the church. The next Thursday came the evening of declamations, +recitations, and music, for which the pupils had been preparing. During +the last four weeks it was a common thing to find a boy declaiming to an +imaginary audience in the schoolroom, or to find a girl reciting in +some secluded spot in the yard, or on the hills in the pasture. In most +schools that is nothing worthy of remark, but to us it shows that the +young people are beginning to feel that their success depends on their +own efforts. + +When the evening came we had an enjoyable entertainment. The house was +decorated with the tall, graceful stems of the Solomon's Seal, and the +platform had a rug and potted plants upon it, and our two beautiful +flags draped behind it. + +Among the recitations, "Betty, the Bound Girl," and "The Peril of a +Passenger Train," were well rendered. Lowell's "A Day in June" was given +with a pleasant voice and manner that fitted the poem. There was an +organ solo, an organ duet, and a sprightly little song by a quartet, +"All Among the Barley." Among the best things were part of an address by +Channing on "Distinction of Mind and Material Forms," and one by +Mitchell on "The First View of the Heavens." The thoughts were noble and +nobly expressed, and the young men delivered them with thoughtfulness +and appreciation, which made us glad, especially as these addresses were +their own choice. + +Immediately after these exercises we all adjourned to the dining room +to see what the girls had done in their little missionary society. Here +was a table gay with pretty articles they had made. Among them were a +nice comfortable, some embroidered doilies, chair pillows, handkerchief +cases, and other things. Most of them were quickly sold. There was also +ice-cream and cake for sale. The girls took about seventeen dollars by +their fair, and the proceeds are to go to the A.M.A. + +The next day was the last. We planned to have an exhibition of school +and industrial work during the forenoon, and parade of cadets in the +afternoon. And, in order to give the pupils a little uplift of +enthusiasm in a good cause, we arranged to have a Christian Endeavor +rally of societies from five neighboring towns, and also to invite the +members of two Sunday-schools that are bravely "lifting the gospel +banner," each in a scattered community near by, where there is no +church. + +The people began to arrive about half-past ten. One party came in a +large farm wagon made gay with flags. + +We hastened to take them about. In the blacksmith shop, two young men +who had been in school only a year, were making some steel nut-crackers. +A table covered with hooks, bolts, chains, towels, ice-picks, etc., +represented the work done during the year. In the printing office, the +boys were turning the press, and printing our Indian paper. The +carpenter-shop exhibit contained some neat boxes, tables, and cabinets, +and here some small boys were at work making joints. In the cooking +school, the girls were making biscuits, coffee, and corn-bread, while +the table was covered with nice loaves of bread, cake, rolls, and +cookies, made the day before. Here, also, the girls' sewing was +displayed. There was a neat set of doll's clothing, a doll's mattress, +pillows, sheets, and pillow-cases, a number of boys' shirts ready for +use in the school, beside other clothing for the girls. + +The primary schoolroom contained clay animals, weaving and sewing done +by the kindergarten class, and some neat language and number work by the +older pupils. The other schoolrooms also had illustrated language work, +examination papers, maps on paper and in sand, and a collection of +botanical specimens. + +About seventy-five visitors came from neighboring towns. They enjoyed +looking at the school work, and they enjoyed their lunch under the +trees, and the marching and drilling of the boys with their wooden guns. + +But the best thing in the day was the meeting in the afternoon. Our +Christian Endeavor guests, with the school and some of the agency people +and neighboring Indians, filled the chapel full. Several of the +societies had pretty banners, and it was inspiring to see them come +marching in. The meeting was just a warm-hearted Christian Endeavor +meeting. Each society responded by a verse of Scripture recited in +concert, or a song, or by the words of some member chosen to represent +them. There was also time for volunteer prayers and testimonies, and a +number of songs. We were all glad to be there--glad to belong to a great +army of Christian workers--and we believe our boys and girls will not +forget it, but that the thoughts of that hour will help to make them +strong. + +After these guests went home, there yet remained the principal's +reception in the evening, where the school gathered with our Agency and +Indian friends, to talk a little while and say goodbye. There was one +delightful little surprise when Dr. Riggs called up thirteen of the +Indian girls and gave to each, as a reward for faithful, successful work +in bread-making, a copy of a cook-book to take home with her. The pupils +enjoyed all these last days, but especially the Christian Endeavor +rally, and we shall remember this year's close as our Christian Endeavor +commencement. + + + * * * * * + + +CHINESE. + +The following letter was written by a young man who was converted in our +Chinese school in Salt Lake City. It is a notification to his teacher of +his arrival in China. It is interesting as a suggestion of the +far-reaching influences of our Chinese work: + + HONG KONG, China, April 5, 1896. + + DEAR FRIEND MRS. M.E.

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.

Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/16216.zip b/16216.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..b1a1d8a --- /dev/null +++ b/16216.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.
