The will should be attested by three witnesses. + + + + +THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY + +VOL. L. MARCH, 1896. No. 3. + + +WHAT NOW? + +One-third of the fiscal year passed on Feb. 1st without any special +campaign of appeals in behalf of the debt and the suffering work of the +American Missionary Association. We have constantly reported to its +supporting churches and friends the exact financial condition of the +Association. We have reiterated the call voted at our Annual Meeting for +such enlargement of support as will bring the receipts of this +semi-centennial year up to $500,000. We have emphasized the urgency of +the present and prospective needs of the work. + +We are sensible of the pressure made upon the churches to increase their +benefactions along the different lines of the Congregational mission +service. We rejoice over their increased offerings in this critical +period, although the support of their work through the American +Missionary Association has not been increased. Their contributions to +the Association in these past four months stand at about the disastrous +figure of the corresponding period last year. The other eight months of +that year suffered from a disheartening reduction which raised the total +debt to nearly a hundred thousand dollars. If the coming eight months +are to bring the same proportionate reduction which the corresponding +eight months of last year suffered, we frankly say now and here that a +new debt will be incurred in addition to the old one. We cannot avoid it +and we cannot remain silent about it. + +What now? Must our debt grow? We cannot reduce our working forces on the +instant. We cannot at once call off our missionaries whom we have +engaged for the current year and to whom we have pledged their support. +They have both the moral and the legal right to their support for the +time stipulated. This is a necessity in the administration of the +missionary societies which are called to employ large numbers of +missionaries. They must keep faith with their workers. + +What now? Reduction? Within the last three years we have reduced our +work by $124,000. But our receipts were reduced in increasing measure +each year by a total of $224,000. Further reduction? Yes, as soon as +possible, under present engagements, if it must be so. Is this the +decision of the Christian people in the churches? Is it wise? Is it +necessary? Must the life-blood of these missions to the poorest, the +most needy of all the peoples in America be shed? Does not the condition +of these lowly and helpless millions cry out to God against it? + +The American Missionary Association has been providentially called to +minister to the down-trodden, the submerged millions of our common +country. Their distressful needs are in danger of being left aside in +the pressure of other worthy appeals for aid. Will not the thoughtful, +the large-minded and large-hearted, who lead in every benevolent service +of the churches, come to the rescue of this imperiled Christian service? +Will they not make this fiftieth year of the American Missionary +Association a year of jubilee by bringing an advance of at least a +hundred thousand dollars before the assembling of our great Boston +Convention in October? + + +BISHOP HAYGOOD.--The recent death of Atticus G. Haygood of the +Methodist Episcopal Church South has removed a very useful man from +among those who are conscientiously engaged in the uplifting of the +colored people and in promoting harmony between the two races in the +South. In the writing of his books and his numerous articles for the +press, in his conscientious administration of the Slater Fund and in his +work as Bishop, he has rendered a permanent benefit to his church and +the country. + + +PAMPHLETS AND ADDRESSES. + +Since the publication, in a recent number of THE MISSIONARY, of +the list of the documents ready for distribution on application of our +friends, we add the following: + +Annual Report of the Association. + +Sermon by Rev. WM. HAYES WARD, D.D., "Instead of thy Fathers +shall be thy Children." + +Citizenship and Christianity, by Rev. SHERROD SOULE. + +The Debt of Our Country to the American Highlanders During the +War, by Secretary C. J. RYDER. (Reprint, illustrated.) + + +"GREAT TRUTHS SIMPLY TOLD" is the title of a most excellent +little book compiled by Prof. George L. Wood, of Philadelphia. A special +fund has been contributed by a friend interested in the circulation of +this useful little volume, which makes it possible for us to offer to +our missionaries a limited number, if they will write asking for the +same. We are very glad to be able in this way to give a wider +circulation to this valuable book, which will prove useful in teaching +Christian truth. + + +INCREASED GIFTS.--We are glad to learn that the Prospect Hill +Church, Somerville, Mass., of which Rev. E. S. Tead is pastor, have just +added 65 per cent. to their gifts of last year to our work. The Grace +Church of South Framingham, of which Rev. F. E. Emrich is pastor, have +also increased their gifts by about $200 over last year. + + +"HOSANNA"--"CRUCIFY." + +On an ever-memorable day, the Son of Man rode into Jerusalem. A vast +multitude of people thronged the streets and cast their garments and +palm branches before Him, and with unbounded enthusiasm cried "Hosanna +in the highest!" But only a few days later that same multitude, as cruel +as they were fickle, followed the Son of Man with the fiendish cry +"Crucify him! crucify him!" ceasing not until he hung on the cross, and +then they taunted him with sneers and mockings. + +The followers of the Son of Man are sometimes called in their measure to +pass through almost similar circumstances changing from the highest +praise to the bitterest denunciation. Dr. Theodore L. Cuyler, that grand +old man, who surpasses all others of this generation in his knowledge of +the great men of his times and in his accurate and vivid descriptions of +them, has given, in a recent article in _The Evangelist_, a striking +sketch of some of the prominent clergymen and laymen of this city two +generations past: + +"The death of that noble Christian philanthropist, William A. Booth, +removes from us about the last survivor of a remarkable group of men who +for three-quarters of a century impressed themselves most deeply on the +religious life of New York and the whole country. Among the earlier +members of this group were the brothers, Arthur and Lewis Tappan, Harlan +Page, Anson G. Phelps, Moses Allen, R. T. Haines, W. W. Chester, and +Joshua Leavitt, who was one of the earliest editors of _The Evangelist_. +Later on we come upon the names of William E. Dodge, Christopher R. +Robert, William A. Booth, Apollos Wetmore, R. M. Hartley, Robert Carter, +James Brown, and Jesse W. Benedict. Other names might be added to this +roll of honor, but these were representative and conspicuous. + +"As far back as 1825 Arthur Tappan might have been called the most +prominent Christian layman in New York. His moral courage and +philanthropic zeal made him on a humbler scale what Lord Shaftesbury +became on a larger scale in London. Those were days of foundation-laying +of great religious enterprises. The Home Missionary Society, the +American Temperance Society, the American Sunday-school Union, and +the Seamen's Friend Society were born about that time. In February, +1825, Arthur Tappan sent on to Boston for the Rev. Wm. A. Hallock, +who before sunrise on a winter morning presented himself at Mr. +Tappan's door. They called together a few warm-hearted Christians--among +whom were Messrs. Allen, Haines, and Chester--and the American Tract +Society was organized, and its new building was erected. It was while +in the employ of the Tract Society that Harlan Page did his wonderful +work as a consecrated laborer for the conversion of souls." + +It was not Dr. Cuyler's purpose to follow these men in their later +experiences. But we take the liberty of doing so in respect to one of +the persons named, Arthur Tappan, of whom Dr. Cuyler says that as far +back as 1825 he might have been called "the most prominent Christian +layman in New York." If we step down nine years to 1834, we shall find +that same Arthur Tappan ostracized by his former associates, ridiculed +and denounced by the press, a reward of $50,000 offered for his head, +and his store assailed by an infuriated mob, and defended inside by Mr. +Tappan and his little band of clerks, of whom the editor and proprietor +of _The Independent_ was then one. It is not too much to say that in +1834 Arthur Tappan was the best-abused man in New York. + +It may be asked with surprise, What had made this great change? The +answer is simple: He had become an _abolitionist_. The same zeal in the +Master's cause which led him to do so much in founding and sustaining +the great missionary and benevolent enterprises, induced him to assist +the anti-slavery cause, which had then come forward. He felt a profound +sympathy for the oppressed slave, and rejoiced to do what he could to +secure his emancipation. + +It should be remarked that Mr. Tappan did not agree with those +abolitionists who denounced the Constitution and the Church. On the +contrary, he took a leading part in the formation of a new anti-slavery +society that was established in opposition to those extremists. He was +the president of that new society for many years. Mr. Tappan used the +same quiet and unassuming methods in giving his time, influence, and +money to the anti-slavery cause as he did to the other benevolent and +missionary enterprises. + +Now we think that the Son of Man, assailed by the mob in the Garden and +crucified on Calvary that He might save the world, was more exalted, and +revealed His divine character more distinctly, than when He was +surrounded by the hosannas of the thoughtless and fickle mob. So, in +like manner and at a humble distance, Arthur Tappan reached his highest +point of honor as a patriotic Christian man when, for the sake of the +poor and downtrodden slaves, he was willing to bear reproach and +jeopardize his life in their behalf. + +Mr. Tappan and his associates, fifty years ago, founded the American +Missionary Association amid the obloquy and danger that surrounded +anti-slavery people in that day; and now, as the Association is +rejoicing in its successful and honored work in this its Jubilee year, +we take pleasure in its behalf in testifying to the courage and +self-sacrificing labors of its founders. + +_From The Independent._ + + +THE PRESENT NEED OF THE INDIANS. + +BY MISS ANNA L. DAWES. + +It would appear that there was a certain definite loss to the cause of +Christianity among the Indians when that work ceased to be called +Foreign Missions, and became Home Missions. In the face of much +opposition and many sneers since the day it first discovered its +"marching orders," the Church has never ceased to believe it to be its +duty to go out into all the world and preach the gospel, and +persecution, neglect, or starvation have only served to intensify its +zeal. It _must_ preach the gospel to the heathen. But in regard to Home +Missions the Church has felt that it _may_ preach the gospel to +neighbors, not that it _must_--that it is a good and desirable thing to +do, but by no means an inexorable duty. If the Indians had remained +foreign heathen, we might hope for a Students' Volunteer movement, for +an Inland Mission, for a zeal beyond wisdom which even sets forth to +preach the gospel in the midst of war. The Indians are as pagan as the +Japanese or the Hindus, for instance: their redemption is as great a +necessity as the redemption of the Chinese. Their chiefs plead for help +and teachers in no less touching fashion than do South African kings. +But those fill us with missionary zeal. We cry unto heaven for money and +opportunity to go over seas to convert those; but these, the heathen in +our very midst, most of us neither see nor hear. Can it be because there +is neither romance nor mystery about these others? The test of the +reality of our zeal is before us here and now. We may measure the value +of our professions for ourselves. + +At this present time the need of the Indians for missionaries is greater +than ever before. They have reached not only a new crisis, but a crisis +of a new kind. Practically speaking the Government has done what it can +for them, or very nearly all. The Indian has law, land, education, he is +fast becoming absorbed in the surrounding people, but never was he in +worse need. All these great fundamental principles of social life have +been thrust upon him, oft against his will and largely unprepared; +certainly with very little comprehension of their resulting privileges +or duties. He needs a friend beside him at every step. Thrust out into +an alien and hostile community, he is in some sense in a worse case than +when he dwelt alone in undisturbed barbarism. + +And again, civilization is not Christianity. This truth, so obvious +everywhere else, seems to be lost sight of when the Indians are +considered. We discover that, although educated, they will not stay +refined, that they are civilized, but will not remain moral. Behold, +says the caviller, there is no good Indian until he dies, and even his +friends complain that the young men will "go back" to gambling games and +horse races. It is true that some measure of refinement and fine morals +is peculiarly necessary to the Indians just now, but these are not any +necessary part of civilization. They are, however, inseparable to +Christianity, and by this token the red man needs Christianity for his +everyday life even more than the white man, who is surrounded by a +Christian atmosphere. If we would have the newly-liberated Indians a +valuable and reliable part of the community in this world they must be +Christianized. Just why goes back a long way; but a fact it is, that +whatever may be true of Chinese or Poles or Bohemians, if the Indian is +to have any staying power, if he is to be anything but a despair to his +friends and a curse to all around him, he must be _converted_ as well as +civilized. The use of his land, the best system of law, an absolute +restriction upon liquor, all together, will do no more for him in the +Northwest than it has done for Cherokee or Choctaw. It is the building +up of the individual that is needed to-day quite as much as any +legislation which shall improve the community. + +Not only has the Indian come to a time of special need, not only does he +need Christianity to make his land and his education of any value, not +only is his law unsupported by his own character of little worth, but he +needs Christian missionaries more and more, because he has ceased to be +the Indian and become Indians. It is peculiarly true that every tribe, +every group, every family almost, has reached a different state of need. +The varying pressure of circumstances combined with the differing +methods of education furnished the children, has brought the race to a +time and place when it needs many, many helpers, who, living with them +as Thomas Riggs has lived with them, will find their reward in their +growth and development. Wherever the Riggs family live, there the Indian +problem is solved. Where Bishop Hare and Mary Collins work the answer is +already plain. Let the Omahas without any missionary testify also to the +darker side of the question. + +It is not further efforts by the churches for the education of the +Indian that are needed. There are many schools, good, bad, and +indifferent, but still schools, and it is certain that the Government +will attend to the education difficulty. But it is missionaries that +the Indian needs; missionaries to convert heathen. This is an inglorious +service and one of plenteous hardship, but beyond measure it is a +patriotic service, beyond measure it is the work of Him whose "all the +world" began "at Jerusalem," who taught us to find Himself wherever the +least of His children were in sore need. + + +A LITTLE BOHEMIAN GIRL'S GIFT. + +The following letter from Rev. J. S. Porter, Missionary of the American +Board, will explain itself. Will there not be among those who shall read +it some one who would like to purchase the remaining coins given by the +poor little orphan girl in Bohemia for the colored people? If so, our +Treasurer, H. W. Hubbard, will forward the coins upon application from +those who would like to purchase one or more of them. A Christian lady +in Detroit, who abounds in good works, has generously sent us $25 for +one of the coins: + + "PRAGUE, BOHEMIA, Sept. 14, 1895. + + "Enclosed find seven Austrian crowns, the gift of a little orphan + girl, Marie Kuchera. She wanted to do something for the colored + people, and this is her offering. Her pastor wished me to send the + original crowns that she gave. Some two years ago I was called into + the country, an hour and a half away, to officiate at the communion + service of a poor consumptive mother and widow. It was a joy to see + her sweet patient endurance during all the long hours she was + waiting for her Lord. She had not long to wait. + + "The little girl who sends these seven crowns--which equal $1.40 in + our money--was the little one she left an orphan. Their home is a + humble one, only one living room, and yet in this humble cottage she + is learning to open her heart to the great needs of her Master's + kingdom, and rejoices to send these offerings for the poor black + children." + + +ACTIVITY, ECONOMY, BENEVOLENCE. + +The following letter tells the story of the remarkable career of a +Christian minister, whose activity was maintained through a long life, +and whose self-denial enabled him to accumulate handsome sums of money +to be bestowed on worthy objects of benevolence. His sympathies were not +narrow, but widespread, and his genial love of children continued to his +latest days: + +"My father, Rev. Otis Holmes, of Lake Grove, L. I., was an enthusiast in +missions, and never let the time of the missionary concerts go by +without attendance. His salary was never above $800 per year--latterly +only $400--and during his last years, to save the Home Missionary +Society, he gave his services. By rigid economy and incessant toil, with +no vacation during fifty years, he laid aside $1,500 for missions, $500 +to the American Board, $500 to the American Missionary Association, $500 +to the Home Missionary Society. He gave, too, a parsonage lot, and +contributed largely to two parsonages. + +"In his earlier ministry he came in contact with pro-slavery +parishioners, and ever and always stood up for the slave, and at no +little sacrifice. And so upon the temperance question, at the age of +eighty and upwards he would arouse most intense enthusiasm in meeting. +None were heard oftener or more gladly. He had great strength and vigor +and rarely ever missed an appointment. No weather detained him. He won +many souls to Christ, and was quite often called away to revival work. +He was exceedingly fond of children and entered heartily into their +pastimes. He died at Lake Grove at the age of nearly ninety-one, and was +an active pastor at the age of eighty-four. He died honored of his +ministerial brethren, whom he ardently loved, and was mourned by a large +number whom he had benefited during his ministry. Such a life of labor +and love should make its appeal to a selfish and skeptical world." + + + + +In Memoriam. + + +REV. HENRY SWIFT DE FOREST, D.D. + +The death of this honored servant of God, January 27, at his house in +Talladega, Ala., was sudden and unexpected. Although he has suffered for +several years past under impaired health, yet on the day preceding the +accident he appeared unusually well. He had performed his usual college +duties, attended and spoken at the memorial services for Dr. Cutler on +the afternoon of Friday, and was present at the college social on Friday +night. The accident occurred on Saturday. He arose early in the morning, +as was his custom, and made preparations for his usual bath. On crossing +the hall at the head of the stairway he fell down the entire flight and +was found stretched out, face downward, on the lower floor. The family +came speedily to his relief. Help was summoned from the neighborhood and +medical attendance secured. It was the doctor's opinion that the fall +was due to an apopleptic stroke, which seized him while in the upper +hall and rendered him powerless to either prevent the fall or hinder its +continued progress. Funeral services were held on Tuesday forenoon, +which were attended by many of the best citizens of Talladega, two of +the pastors of the Talladega churches speaking warmly and +sympathetically of Dr. De Forest and of the institution over which he +had presided. Mrs. De Forest and her daughter, accompanied by one of the +professors of the institution, attended the remains to their last +resting place in Sherburne, N. Y. + +Dr. De Forest was of Huguenot descent; was born in So. Edmeston, N. Y., +March 17, 1833, was graduated from Yale College in 1857, and obtained +his theological education at Yale and Union theological seminaries. He +was ordained in New Haven, August 2, 1863, and served as chaplain in the +Eleventh Connecticut Volunteers during the civil war. He was called to +the pastorate of Plymouth Congregational Church, Des Moines, Iowa., +October 17, 1866, where he remained until October, 1879, when he +accepted the call to the Presidency of Talladega College, Talladega, +Ala., a position he has filled with great acceptance to the day of his +death. He was married August 25th, 1869, to Miss Anna M. Robbins, +daughter of Rev. Alden B. Robbins, D.D., of Muscatine, Iowa. + +Dr. De Forest was a man of fine personal presence, affable in manner, +gifted as a speaker, a scholar, and a man of practical affairs. His life +has been varied, but in whatever position he has been employed he has +soon won the confidence and esteem of those with whom he has been +associated. + + +MISS LUCELIA E. WILLIAMS. + +This estimable lady, after four years of severe but patient suffering +from neuralgia, passed away Sunday afternoon, December 22, at her home +in Deerfield, Mass. Miss Williams was a native of Deerfield, an old +historic town in the Connecticut Valley, and a descendant of Rev. T. +Williams, who was taken captive by the Indians. During the war of the +Rebellion Miss Williams was sent by the National Freedman's Aid Society +to labor among the Freedmen of Port Royal Island, S. C. With a +commission and a Government permit alone she found her mission field. +The following year was spent at Richmond, Va., teaching among the +refugees who had come into the city at the close of the war. The next +year she taught a large school in Washington, D. C., at Kendall Green, +and in the autumn of 1867, accompanied by her sister, Miss P. A. +Williams, she began her work at Hampton, Va., teaching in the Butler and +Lincoln schools. After the new building was completed, the sisters were +transferred to the Normal school, which they organized, and the success +of which was largely due to their indefatigable labors. Miss Williams +was connected with the institution two years when she was appointed by +the American Missionary Association as Principal of the Stanton Normal +Institute, Jacksonville, Fla., where she remained seven years. + +Miss Williams always secured the confidence and esteem of those with and +for whom she labored, and was considered one of the most efficient +teachers in the employ of the Association. + + + + +The South. + + +THANKS, GOVERNOR STONE. + +The popular Governor of Mississippi, Hon. J. M. Stone, who has filled +the responsible position of chief executive for a greater length of time +than any other person since the formation of the State government, in +his last message to the Senate and House of Representatives called +especial attention to Tougaloo University, as follows: + +"Although Tougaloo University is not a State institution, I desire, in +its behalf, to convey to you in this parting message a word of warm and +sincere commendation. No school in the South is conducted upon higher +principles, and its good effects are felt throughout the State. By way +of recognition of its great merit, and for the high esteem in which its +principal is held in the community, the Board of Visitors has been +continued from term to term, and I recommend that a Board be appointed +by the Governor for the next biennial year." + +As Governor Stone has repeatedly visited Tougaloo, he speaks with +personal knowledge of our great work in the "Black Belt." In +agricultural and industrial work Tougaloo is not excelled in the South, +while the standard of scholarship is greatly superior to that of +industrial schools which seek only elementary attainment. + + +GREGORY INSTITUTE, WILMINGTON, N. C. + +BY PROF. F. T. WATERS. + +Christmas in Gregory Normal Institute does not mean simply _receiving_, +but we have what has proved to us, after a trial of two years, a much +better plan--that of _giving_. It is truly surprising how much can be +given, even by those who it would seem are too poor to give anything. On +Thursday, December 19, it was announced by the principal in all the +rooms that all who could bring a Christmas offering might do so on +Friday, the last day of the term before the holidays. Before eight a.m. +Friday the articles began to come in, and the variety would discount any +country grocery store, I am sure. Flour, meat, rice, grits, cracked +peas, beans, potatoes, apples, turnips, cabbages, greens, onions, sugar, +tea, coffee, eggs, bacon, wood, kindling, matches, soap, pictures, +thread, needles, pins, and in fact almost every article that can be +eaten or worn or made use of in any way. Quite a good deal of money was +contributed, and that was used for buying articles for needy persons. + +What struck me most forcibly was the willing and cheerful giving. Some +things came from homes where there was scarcely to be found as much more +of the same thing as was brought. I must mention an instance of real +sacrifice, though the things brought will seem, without doubt, to those +who read this article, as of but little worth. One little girl we had +picked out of the most wretched hovel only a few weeks before, so ragged +that except for pity you would wish her out of sight; and when I saw her +coming in with her gift I thought, "What can she bring?" Well, she +brought all she had to bring--literally her whole wealth--a few dirty +little picture cards which some one had given to her and which she had +treasured "lo, these many years," judging from the dirt accumulated on +them. The gift seemed trivial, but it meant something to this little +girl. Hundreds there are in this very city who are in no school--who +can't attend for want of money. Oh that God's treasures could be used to +save his own dear children! + +Thank God there are many who hold a little of God's gold who have laid +it on the altar for His use! I wish some of the consecrated gifts I have +received and used for two poor children, with the accompanying letters, +were not so sacred; I should feel like mentioning some--where a poor +factory girl sent one dollar, with a "God bless you!" and where a good +mother in Israel sent fifty cents in stamps, saying, "This is my +consecration money of three months." So poor was she that the +accumulation was by a penny now and then. Many larger amounts I have +received, but all with the same cheerful "God bless you!" that so cheers +the heart of the missionary far from home and loved ones. + + +PRAYER WITH A BACKBONE.--The pastor of one of our smaller +churches in the South, describing the concert of prayer held in behalf +of the Association, tells this brief but pithy story about it: "The +objects and purposes and work of the American Missionary Association +were briefly reviewed at the prayer-meeting, and the prayers in its +behalf were fervent and earnest. But we shall not cease, but continue to +pray for your success. Inclosed please find one dollar as a sort of +backbone to our prayers." + + +FUNNY ANSWERS. + +A teacher in the mountain field gives in a recent letter some of the +answers that came in from the pupils in their examination papers. Some +of them are amusing. + +"Climate is the combined space of heat and moisture." + +"The solar system is situated in that part of the heavens called the +Milky Way." + +"The polar circle is parallel, running slanting round the earth." + +"It is the wind's duty to refresh and cherish the earth." + +"A volcano is the safety-valve of an earthquake." + +Digestive organs are termed "dijective organs," and the different races +of men were given as "Indians, Negroes, Whites, and French." + + +FAMILY FEUD IN THE MOUNTAINS. + +BY A MISSIONARY. + +I have recently witnessed the result of a Kentucky riot, the first since +I came here. Two desperate factions met on the night of the 25th, at +eleven o'clock. Four men and a woman were engaged in it. The leader of +the first faction fired and shot the leader of the second faction in his +own house, and another of the first faction fired at the leader of the +second faction till he fell with two balls through his left arm, one +ball broke his right leg, and two balls went into his back. The leader +of the second faction shot the leader of the first faction in the right +leg and he fell; both men lying within a few feet of each other. The +wife of the leader of the second faction took one of his pistols and +started to kill the first leader, but one of his men stepped up with two +revolvers and told her not to fire, that he would kill her if she did. +This ended the shooting. The first faction helped to carry the leader of +the second faction in the house and then took the first leader away. +They used 32 and 44 calibers. + +The first leader lives four miles from my house. When they told him he +could not live he asked them to send for me. I went and helped dress his +wounds and sung and prayed with him. He said he had been a bad man, and +asked me to pray for him. I heard to-day that some of his friends wanted +him to send for some other minister, but he said no, he wanted no one +but myself; and I expect to go and see him to-morrow if he is still +living. I believe in the near future we will have a good hold in eastern +Kentucky, if the American Missionary Association is successful in +getting the right ministers. The minister's wife has a great deal to do +with his success in this work. + + +AN INCIDENT OF MOUNTAIN WORK. + +BY A MISSIONARY. + +At noon, the 16th, I reached Rev. Mr. ----'s home, and after dinner he +hitched up his horse, and we set out for ----, some twelve miles away, +reaching there at dark. 'Twas here I heard the wonderful story of ----'s +rescue and salvation through Bro. ----, one of Rev. Mr. ----'s converts. +Next morning I met the Sunday-school and addressed it. Then came the +after-service, and it was a pleasure to look into those faces and preach +the gospel message, which was so earnestly and anxiously received, and +to think that only six months before a preacher could not come into this +valley to preach and be safe. Some were shot, others thrashed, and +because of the low element located there the place was given up as +hopeless. + +Our Bro. ----, in his quiet way, went into the homes and gained them by +personal contact, and for six months held meetings, during which they +were constrained to surrender to Christ. I had the pleasure of hearing +some thirty tell the story of how our A. M. A. preacher won them. It was +a marvelous work, and the good part is the activity that characterizes +each member. Of the sixty members belonging to Rev. Mr. ----'s churches +fifty-seven are praying members, and _all_ sixty take active part in +testimony. A most cordial relation exists between pastor and people. We +held an afternoon service at another one of Rev. Mr. ----'s churches, +where I had the privilege of talking and meeting the friends. + + +A MOTHER TEACHING REVENGE.--"We know the mother in the home of +the mountaineer is a strong influence. How important that she be trained +to occupy this position! I have sat at the fireside and heard the mother +relate the story of a murder and turn to her eldest boy and say, 'Mind +ye, if ever ye meet up with him, you'll not forget to do what ye'er +mammy learned ye to do.' And that boy will not forget unless the grace +of God keep him." + + +AN INTERESTING CONVERSION.--The month has been a most blessed +one to us at Deer Lodge. The meetings were not large in numbers, but +they were rich in power and full of spiritual blessings. The report that +---- was converted spread quickly, and a large number came last night to +see and hear him. He had been a wicked man for many years, and now his +change is marked, and he proposes to live as near the Christian life as +possible. He commenced to read the Bible, and reads a chapter both +morning and evening. He told me last night, "I cannot read much, but my +wife can help me, and so together we shall help each other." Oh, how +much joy it would give us if the Holy Spirit would sweep into his +kingdom a number of other precious souls at this place. We shall pray +and work for this end. The young ladies who accepted Christ now take +part in our meetings, and it is no small pleasure to hear them testify +for Christ. + + +A COMMUNION SERVICE.--"We had a pleasant communion service last +Sunday. Six young people joined in regular Congregational form after +careful examination. We had previously elected a new member, who was a +pupil in the school last year, to be deacon immediately upon his joining +the church. One of those who joined the church made an attempt on my +life last year. Though he is nearly as old as I he is now a docile pupil +in the fourth-reader grade." + + +HEATHERLY CHAPEL.--The new church in the mountain field, in +Tennessee was organized in November, and is called Heatherly Chapel. It +is enjoying a very interesting revival season. About fifty have been +hopefully converted, twenty-two having joined the new church. This new +church is an important addition to the work which the American +Missionary Association is accomplishing in the mountain field. + + +A USEFUL CHURCH.--From Corbin comes the message of deep +spiritual interest and large usefulness in the church. At the last +communion five were added and the work still goes on very encouragingly. +A Sunday-school is carried on by the Christian Endeavorers of the Corbin +church in a community near by. + + +CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR SOCIETY.--A Young People's Society of +Christian Endeavor was organized at La Follette, Tenn., early in +December. Thirteen members united with this society and much enthusiasm +was manifested. + + + + +The Indians. + + +DI TAPI'O? + +BY REV. C. L. HALL. + +We reached the Missouri at dark. A heavy gale tossed the water and +whirled the sand. Can any one hear across the water, or are we to spend +the October night in the timber? The Lord had provided for His work. A +dark figure appeared on the bluff against the fading light. "Di tapi'o?" +is the call across (Who are you?). "Ho-washte" (I am Good Voice) is the +reply. The figure, like the man of Macedonia; the reply, "a voice crying +in the wilderness." The man was Good Bird. He had come out, expecting +his wife, and found us. + +The wind had sunk the flat-boat, and our horse had to wait in the brush +till morning. I cared for him, while the carpenter and Good Bird +crossed. Two other Indians came for me. The wind lulled and the dark +flood flowed silently. Their leaky skiff was plugged with mud. One +rowed, the other watched in the shadows for the landing. I bailed with a +tin can. The current swung us in, and we lugged our tools and provisions +and bedding up a sand slide, and slept in the "Independence Station" log +house. + +We had made several visits during the summer. Once the whole family +stayed a week. We won the affections of Mrs. Pedi'tska-Kadi'shta (Little +Crow), so that she paddled Mrs. Hall over in her hide "bull-boat," on +our return, for twenty-five cents. + +Then our trained nurse left her hospital room and visiting work at Fort +Berthold and kept up the routine, and also treated about twenty patients +among these Mandans. + +This time we had come to finish the house for winter, before the lady +missionary's return from her vacation. Four women plastered outside with +a mixture of mud and dry grass. This is woman's part of house-building +here, I was laborer and cook and preacher for three days, and then left +the carpenter plastering inside. + +The Mandans are friendly, but much behind our Rees at Fort Berthold. +Dead bodies in rough boxes lie on the ground on a knoll not far from our +house, and near by is an old-style earth lodge. + +At Christmas we had more than 125 people out. A cedar tree hung full of +presents. All had a good meal, except plates, which some were not very +familiar with. A crowd of big men reached out eagerly for the luxury of +red apples. + +[Illustration: MEETING HOUSE. DWELLING. + +MOODY STATION, NO. 1 (INDEPENDENCE).] + +This station is named for Mr. Moody, who gave money to start it. The +place is a hill in the midst of a valley independent of the bluffs on +either side and so Awatahesh--Independence. + +Mr. A. P. Nichols, of Haverhill, Mass., kindly offered $200 if we would +reopen the station. We have done so, trusting to our friends for $300 +more for the year. The work is yet in the dough, but the yeast is in and +it is rising. + +Our Elbowoods station began far out in the wilderness in a log house +like the Independence meeting-house. The Government, after several +years, planted its central agency by our station and so brought many +under our influence. Now we have a new dwelling, with a chapel attached, +and the congregation have raised $130 toward the expense. + +[Illustration: DWELLING. CHAPEL. + +MOODY STATION, NO. 2 (ELBOWOODS).] + +These stations are the spokes of which the Fort Berthold +boarding-school and hospital and church work are the hub. Every hub must +have spokes--as here. If you rim the whole with some of your silver or +gold, and bolt it on with prayer the whole work will roll on. + +Di tapi'o? Indians, and whites too, some gladly others uneasily, are +finding out who we are--you dear friends of the churches and we here +together--a power for righteousness from and by the King. + + +THANKSGIVING DAY.--Rev. C. L. Hall gives us the following +interesting glimpse of Thanksgiving in a prairie mission school: + +"We are to have a church dinner on Thanksgiving (Shak-s-shte-hun), for +which the church have collected produce and money, so that there will be +a large thank offering to the Lord, all paid up, not subscribed. Mrs. +Black Rabbit and Mrs. Crow and Mrs. Two Bears and Cedar Woman are on the +committee to help cook and prepare dinner. There are rabbits and geese +and beef to cook, which is cooked and which cook you can decide. + +Clear moonlight on the snow, mild but no thaw, fine sledding. It was a +good night to come home from prayer meeting at Deacon Many-bears." + + +BUSY DAY OF AN INDIAN MISSIONARY.--Rev. Myron Eells, our +missionary at S'kokomish, Washington, writes: + +"Last Sabbath my work was as follows, though it was a little extra: +Superintended the Sunday-school at the Agency at 9:30; 57 present. +Taught a Sunday-school class. Preached at the same place at 11, then was +on my horse in a few minutes, and at 12:05 was a mile distant and +preached to the Indians. Then rode four miles to John's Creek and +preached to a small congregation of whites in English at 3:00 +P.M., eating my lunch as I rode along. Came home by six +o'clock, and at seven o'clock went in for half an hour to the Christian +Endeavor meeting." + + +A THANK OFFERING.--Miss Collins, of Fort Yates, N. D., in +writing of the Indian work at her mission, says: + +"Last night there was a New Year's meeting, and they took up a 'Thank +Offering' because God had been so good the past year, and they handed me +ten dollars this morning for the native missionary society, and they +pledged ten more. Pretty substantial way to show gratitude to God! Oh if +our churches would come to the help of our American Missionary +Association in so liberal a way, what might we not do for Christ this +year!" + + + + +The Chinese. + + +THE WATSONVILLE MISSION. + +BY REV. W. C. POND, D.D. + +This work was begun about two years ago as an experiment, the teacher, +Mrs. Martha Ellis, giving her services without expense to us for several +months, till it became apparent that the field was one we ought to +occupy. She is an earnest Christian and is putting her very life-blood +into this service for Christ and the souls he died to save. With her has +been associated from the first Mr. Joe Dun, a most faithful and +efficient helper. He was converted in our Marysville Mission, and has +been a steadfast Christian for many years. He accepts less than half pay +in these times of straitness, and tries to eke out a support for himself +and those dependent upon him by attention to business in a small and, I +fear, far from lucrative way, but gives his _heart_ to mission work. I +feel guilty every time I make a remittance to Watsonville because the +pittance we allow him is so small as compared with the work he does. But +he and the zealous teacher have other rewards far richer than coin. + +I reached the Mission House at about 2:30 P.M. Mrs. Ellis's +afternoon class of children was just being dismissed. But it seems they +had heard about me, and were glad to come to order again, and get +acquainted with me and let me hear them sing. It was a sight I never +looked upon before, and did not expect to see in California till we had +come much nearer the millennium than I dare think we now are. Nine +children stood in line before me--three of them Americans, three +Chinese, and three Spanish or Mexican. The whole class numbers sixteen, +the absent ones being five Spanish children and two Jewish ones. They +sang for me, with great vigor and quite good harmony, "Jesus Loves Me," +"Precious Jewels," and "At the Cross." Books were not needed. The words +were packed away in their memory, where they will remain to bless--as we +hope and pray--their whole lives. + +After the children had gone, eleven Chinese brethren gathered about +the table to study with me the Confession of Faith and Covenant of +Bethany Church, San Francisco, with reference to being organized into +the BETHANY CHURCH OF WATSONVILLE. About three hours I spent with them +holding them to close study of that which they would profess and +promise if they were united in Church relationship. They were of +various ages and various grades of intelligence, but I felt that +Christ had refused none of them, and I must not do so. Hum Quong was +converted in Marysville five years before, but had not till now had +opportunity--since he was sufficiently confirmed in his discipleship +to do so--to offer himself for baptism. He had become well versed in +Christian truth, and was able to interpret for me, and to assist his +brethren, almost as well as Joe Dun himself. The others were, all of +them, the fruit of our Watsonville work. One had been in California 25 +years, but had attended mission-school nowhere except in Watsonville. +He was a substantial looking man, a good miniature of a New England +deacon of the old school but for his complexion and attire. I was +rather pleased--having made such reflections silently--to hear him +nominated by several voices and to see him unanimously elected their +only deacon. His name is Ng Kite. + +It was a scene that interested the angels, I am sure, when in our rude +little mission-house, in the presence of a goodly company both of +Chinese and Americans, those twelve disciples stood together, hand in +hand, and accepted their confession and covenant. Eleven were Chinese; +one, their teacher, was an American. Ten were baptized--the largest +number of Chinese that I have ever baptized at one time. + +Some, at least, of the village pastors, and a large company of other +Christians--too large for our limited space--would have been with us but +for the fact that Union Evangelistic services were in progress and they +felt it necessary to attend and take part in them. + +Is it not worth while to maintain in vigor a work like this? + + +SANTA CRUZ MISSION. + +Of this mission Dr. Pond writes: I give you an opportunity to share my +joy by inclosing the letter from Mrs. Hall, our teacher at Santa Cruz. +She has been for three months teaching a class of Japanese after her +teaching in the Chinese school is ended; that is after nine o'clock in +the evening--often not beginning till nearly ten. The two schools are +now happily united at our Chinese Mission House: + + LETTER FROM MRS. KATE V. HALL. + + "My heart is filled with gladness this New Year, and I am sure that + the tidings I send you will make you happy also. Four Japanese and + two Chinese have given their hearts to the Lord in the past month; + two Japanese and two Chinese will receive baptism Sunday, and the + other two Japanese will wait till the following Communion, as they + wish to study the Bible more. I am satisfied to have them wait, if + they wish, as I want them to have all doubts cleared away. + + "I will not send a report for the Japanese, as they came into the + Chinese Mission three nights ago. I am so glad they were willing to + attend the Chinese school, as my work at the Chinese Mission is + growing each night, and often when I reached the Japanese school I + was so hoarse I could hardly speak, so now, by remaining a half hour + later, I will be able to do the same amount of work without hurrying + so. I feel that the Lord has fully repaid me for my labor at the + Japanese school." + + + + +WOMAN'S STATE ORGANIZATIONS + + +MAINE. + +WOMAN'S AID TO A. M.

"Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be +used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who +agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few +things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works +even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See +paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project +Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement +and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works.

If an +individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are +located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from +copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative +works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg +are removed. Of course, we hope that you will support the Project +Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by +freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of +this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with +the work. You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by +keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project +Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others. + +1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern +what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in +a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States, check +the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement +before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or +creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project +Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no representations concerning +the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United +States. + +1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg: + +1.E.1.

You may copy it, give it away or +re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included +with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org + +1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived +from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is +posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied +and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees +or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work +with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the +work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1 +through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the +Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or +1.E.9. + +1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted +with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution +must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional +terms imposed by the copyright holder.

Contact the +Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below. + +1.F. + +1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable +effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread +public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm +collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain +"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or +corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual +property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a +computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by +your equipment. + +1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right +of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project +Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project +Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all +liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal +fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT +LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE +PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE +TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE +LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR +INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH +DAMAGE. + +1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a +defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can +receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a +written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you +received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with +your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with +the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a +refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity +providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to +receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy +is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further +opportunities to fix the problem. + +1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth +in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER +WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO +WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE. + +1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied +warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. +If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the +law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be +interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by +the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any +provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions. + +1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the +trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone +providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance +with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production, +promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works, +harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees, +that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do +or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm +work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any +Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause. + + +Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +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 http://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 +http://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent +permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. + +The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S. +Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered +throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at +809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email +business@pglaf.org.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://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 checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://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/21952-8.zip b/21952-8.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..8355e83 --- /dev/null +++ b/21952-8.zip diff --git a/21952-h.zip b/21952-h.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..65e8221 --- /dev/null +++ b/21952-h.zip diff --git a/21952-h/21952-h.htm b/21952-h/21952-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..eaf4e96 --- /dev/null +++ b/21952-h/21952-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,6664 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" + "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> + +<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> + <head> + <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" /> + <title> + The Project Gutenberg eBook of The American Missionary, Vol. 50, No. 3, March, 1896. + </title> + <style type="text/css"> +/*<![CDATA[ XML blockout */ +<!-- + p { margin-top: .75em; + text-align: justify; + margin-bottom: .75em; + } + h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 { + text-align: center; /* all headings centered */ + clear: both; + } + hr { width: 33%; + margin-top: 1em; + margin-bottom: 1em; + margin-left: auto; + margin-right: auto; + clear: both; + } + + hr.full {width: 100%; margin-top:0em; margin-bottom:0em;} + hr.section {width: 65%;} + hr.quarter {width: 25%;} + + body{margin-left: 15%; + margin-right: 15%; + } + + .blockquot{margin-left: 5%; margin-right: 10%;} + + .pagenum {position: absolute; left: 1%; right: 91%; font-size: smaller;} + + + .center {text-align: center;} + .right {text-align: right;} + .smcap {font-variant: small-caps;} + + table.volume {margin-top: -1em; margin-bottom: 1em;} + table.receipts {width: 75%; } + table.field {width: 80%; } + + .sub1 {text-indent: -1em; margin-left: 1em;} + .sub2 {text-indent: -1em; margin-left: 3em;} + .amt2 {margin-left: 0em; margin-right: 6em;} + + div.center table {margin: 0 auto; text-align: left;} + + ul { list-style: none; text-align: left; } + li { text-indent: -1em;} + li.state { text-align: center; padding-top: 1em;} + li.org { text-align: center; font-variant: small-caps; padding-bottom: .5em;} + + .caption {font-weight: bold;} + + .figcenter {margin: auto; text-align: center;} + + .figleft {float: left; clear: left; margin-left: 0; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: + 1em; margin-right: 1em; padding: 0; text-align: center;} + + .figright {float: right; clear: right; margin-left: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; + margin-top: 1em; margin-right: 0; padding: 0; text-align: center;} + + .footnotes {border: dashed 1px;} + .footnote {margin-left: 10%; margin-right: 10%; font-size: 0.9em;} + .footnote .label {position: absolute; right: 80%; text-align: right;} + .fnanchor {vertical-align: super; font-size: .8em; text-decoration: none;} + + .small {font-size: 70%;} + + + // --> + /* XML end ]]>*/ + </style> + </head> +<body> + + +<pre> + +The Project Gutenberg EBook of American Missionary - Volume 50, No. 3, +March, 1896, by Various + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

We have constantly reported to its +supporting churches and friends the exact financial condition of the +Association. We have reiterated the call voted at our Annual Meeting for +such enlargement of support as will bring the receipts of this +semi-centennial year up to $500,000. We have emphasized the urgency of +the present and prospective needs of the work.</p> + +<p>We are sensible of the pressure made upon the churches to increase their +benefactions along the different lines of the Congregational mission +service. We rejoice over their increased offerings in this critical +period, although the support of their work through the American +Missionary Association has not been increased. Their contributions to +the Association in these past four months stand at about the disastrous +figure of the corresponding period last year. The other eight months of +that year suffered from a disheartening reduction which raised the total +debt to nearly a hundred thousand dollars. If the coming eight months +are to bring the same proportionate reduction which the corresponding +eight months of last year suffered, we frankly say now and here that a +new debt will be incurred in addition to the old one. We cannot avoid it +and we cannot remain silent about it.</p> + +<p>What now? Must our debt grow? We cannot reduce our working forces on the +instant. We cannot at once call off our missionaries whom we have +engaged for the current year and to whom we have pledged their support. +They have both the moral and the legal right to their support for the +time stipulated. This is a necessity in the administration of the +missionary societies which are called to employ large numbers of +missionaries. They must keep faith with their workers.</p> + +<p>What now? Reduction? Within the last three years we have reduced our +work by $124,000. But our receipts were reduced in<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_82" id="Page_82">[Pg 82]</a></span> increasing measure +each year by a total of $224,000. Further reduction? Yes, as soon as +possible, under present engagements, if it must be so. Is this the +decision of the Christian people in the churches? Is it wise? Is it +necessary? Must the life-blood of these missions to the poorest, the +most needy of all the peoples in America be shed? Does not the condition +of these lowly and helpless millions cry out to God against it?</p> + +<p>The American Missionary Association has been providentially called to +minister to the down-trodden, the submerged millions of our common +country. Their distressful needs are in danger of being left aside in +the pressure of other worthy appeals for aid. Will not the thoughtful, +the large-minded and large-hearted, who lead in every benevolent service +of the churches, come to the rescue of this imperiled Christian service? +Will they not make this fiftieth year of the American Missionary +Association a year of jubilee by bringing an advance of at least a +hundred thousand dollars before the assembling of our great Boston +Convention in October?</p> + +<hr class="quarter" /> + +<p><span class="smcap">Bishop Haygood.</span>—The recent death of Atticus G.

Emrich is pastor, have +also increased their gifts by about $200 over last year.</p> + +<hr class="quarter" /> + + +<h3>"HOSANNA"—"CRUCIFY."</h3> + +<p>On an ever-memorable day, the Son of Man rode into Jerusalem. A vast +multitude of people thronged the streets and cast their garments and +palm branches before Him, and with unbounded enthusiasm cried "Hosanna +in the highest!" But only a few days later that same multitude, as cruel +as they were fickle, followed the Son of Man with the fiendish cry +"Crucify him! crucify him!" ceasing not until he hung on the cross, and +then they taunted him with sneers and mockings.</p> + +<p>The followers of the Son of Man are sometimes called in their measure to +pass through almost similar circumstances changing from the highest +praise to the bitterest denunciation. Dr. Theodore L. Cuyler, that grand +old man, who surpasses all others of this generation in his knowledge of +the great men of his times and in his accurate and vivid descriptions of +them, has given, in a recent article in <i>The Evangelist</i>, a striking +sketch of some of the prominent clergymen and laymen of this city two +generations past:</p> + +<p>"The death of that noble Christian philanthropist, William A. Booth, +removes from us about the last survivor of a remarkable group of men who +for three-quarters of a century impressed themselves most deeply on the +religious life of New York and the whole country. Among the earlier +members of this group were the brothers, Arthur and Lewis Tappan, Harlan +Page, Anson G. Phelps, Moses Allen, R. T. Haines, W. W. Chester, and +Joshua Leavitt, who was one of the earliest editors of <i>The Evangelist</i>. +Later on we come upon the names of William E. Dodge, Christopher R. +Robert, William A. Booth, Apollos Wetmore, R. M. Hartley, Robert Carter, +James Brown, and Jesse W. Benedict. Other names might be added to this +roll of honor, but these were representative and conspicuous.</p> + +<p>"As far back as 1825 Arthur Tappan might have been called the most +prominent Christian layman in New York. His moral courage and +philanthropic zeal made him on a humbler scale what Lord Shaftesbury +became on a larger scale in London. Those were days of +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_84" id="Page_84">[Pg 84]</a></span>foundation-laying of great religious enterprises. The Home Missionary +Society, the American Temperance Society, the American Sunday-school +Union, and the Seamen's Friend Society were born about that time. In +February, 1825, Arthur Tappan sent on to Boston for the Rev. Wm. A. +Hallock, who before sunrise on a winter morning presented himself at Mr. +Tappan's door. They called together a few warm-hearted Christians—among +whom were Messrs. Allen, Haines, and Chester—and the American Tract +Society was organized, and its new building was erected. It was while in +the employ of the Tract Society that Harlan Page did his wonderful work +as a consecrated laborer for the conversion of souls."</p> + +<p>It was not Dr. Cuyler's purpose to follow these men in their later +experiences. But we take the liberty of doing so in respect to one of +the persons named, Arthur Tappan, of whom Dr. Cuyler says that as far +back as 1825 he might have been called "the most prominent Christian +layman in New York." If we step down nine years to 1834, we shall find +that same Arthur Tappan ostracized by his former associates, ridiculed +and denounced by the press, a reward of $50,000 offered for his head, +and his store assailed by an infuriated mob, and defended inside by Mr. +Tappan and his little band of clerks, of whom the editor and proprietor +of <i>The Independent</i> was then one. It is not too much to say that in +1834 Arthur Tappan was the best-abused man in New York.</p> + +<p>It may be asked with surprise, What had made this great change? The +answer is simple: He had become an <i>abolitionist</i>. The same zeal in the +Master's cause which led him to do so much in founding and sustaining +the great missionary and benevolent enterprises, induced him to assist +the anti-slavery cause, which had then come forward. He felt a profound +sympathy for the oppressed slave, and rejoiced to do what he could to +secure his emancipation.</p> + +<p>It should be remarked that Mr. Tappan did not agree with those +abolitionists who denounced the Constitution and the Church. On the +contrary, he took a leading part in the formation of a new anti-slavery +society that was established in opposition to those extremists. He was +the president of that new society for many years. Mr. Tappan used the +same quiet and unassuming methods in giving his time, influence, and +money to the anti-slavery cause as he did to the other benevolent and +missionary enterprises.</p> + +<p>Now we think that the Son of Man, assailed by the mob in the Garden and +crucified on Calvary that He might save the world, was more exalted, and +revealed His divine character more distinctly, than when He was +surrounded by the hosannas of the thoughtless and fickle mob. So, in +like manner and at a humble distance, Arthur Tappan reached his highest +point of honor as a patriotic Christian man when, for the sake<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_85" id="Page_85">[Pg 85]</a></span> of the +poor and downtrodden slaves, he was willing to bear reproach and +jeopardize his life in their behalf.</p> + +<p>Mr. Tappan and his associates, fifty years ago, founded the American +Missionary Association amid the obloquy and danger that surrounded +anti-slavery people in that day; and now, as the Association is +rejoicing in its successful and honored work in this its Jubilee year, +we take pleasure in its behalf in testifying to the courage and +self-sacrificing labors of its founders.</p> + +<div class="right"><i>From The Independent.</i></div><br /> + + +<hr class="quarter" /> + + +<h3>THE PRESENT NEED OF THE INDIANS.</h3> + +<h4>BY MISS ANNA L. DAWES.</h4> + +<p>It would appear that there was a certain definite loss to the cause of +Christianity among the Indians when that work ceased to be called +Foreign Missions, and became Home Missions. In the face of much +opposition and many sneers since the day it first discovered its +"marching orders," the Church has never ceased to believe it to be its +duty to go out into all the world and preach the gospel, and +persecution, neglect, or starvation have only served to intensify its +zeal. It <i>must</i> preach the gospel to the heathen. But in regard to Home +Missions the Church has felt that it <i>may</i> preach the gospel to +neighbors, not that it <i>must</i>—that it is a good and desirable thing to +do, but by no means an inexorable duty. If the Indians had remained +foreign heathen, we might hope for a Students' Volunteer movement, for +an Inland Mission, for a zeal beyond wisdom which even sets forth to +preach the gospel in the midst of war. The Indians are as pagan as the +Japanese or the Hindus, for instance: their redemption is as great a +necessity as the redemption of the Chinese. Their chiefs plead for help +and teachers in no less touching fashion than do South African kings. +But those fill us with missionary zeal. We cry unto heaven for money and +opportunity to go over seas to convert those; but these, the heathen in +our very midst, most of us neither see nor hear. Can it be because there +is neither romance nor mystery about these others? The test of the +reality of our zeal is before us here and now. We may measure the value +of our professions for ourselves.</p> + +<p>At this present time the need of the Indians for missionaries is greater +than ever before. They have reached not only a new crisis, but a crisis +of a new kind. Practically speaking the Government has done what it can +for them, or very nearly all. The Indian has law, land, education, he is +fast becoming absorbed in the surrounding people, but never was he in +worse need. All these great fundamental principles of social life have +been thrust upon him, oft against his will and largely unprepared; +certainly with very little comprehension of<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_86" id="Page_86">[Pg 86]</a></span> their resulting privileges +or duties. He needs a friend beside him at every step. Thrust out into +an alien and hostile community, he is in some sense in a worse case than +when he dwelt alone in undisturbed barbarism.</p> + +<p>And again, civilization is not Christianity. This truth, so obvious +everywhere else, seems to be lost sight of when the Indians are +considered. We discover that, although educated, they will not stay +refined, that they are civilized, but will not remain moral. Behold, +says the caviller, there is no good Indian until he dies, and even his +friends complain that the young men will "go back" to gambling games and +horse races. It is true that some measure of refinement and fine morals +is peculiarly necessary to the Indians just now, but these are not any +necessary part of civilization. They are, however, inseparable to +Christianity, and by this token the red man needs Christianity for his +everyday life even more than the white man, who is surrounded by a +Christian atmosphere. If we would have the newly-liberated Indians a +valuable and reliable part of the community in this world they must be +Christianized. Just why goes back a long way; but a fact it is, that +whatever may be true of Chinese or Poles or Bohemians, if the Indian is +to have any staying power, if he is to be anything but a despair to his +friends and a curse to all around him, he must be <i>converted</i> as well as +civilized. The use of his land, the best system of law, an absolute +restriction upon liquor, all together, will do no more for him in the +Northwest than it has done for Cherokee or Choctaw. It is the building +up of the individual that is needed to-day quite as much as any +legislation which shall improve the community.</p> + +<p>Not only has the Indian come to a time of special need, not only does he +need Christianity to make his land and his education of any value, not +only is his law unsupported by his own character of little worth, but he +needs Christian missionaries more and more, because he has ceased to be +the Indian and become Indians. It is peculiarly true that every tribe, +every group, every family almost, has reached a different state of need. +The varying pressure of circumstances combined with the differing +methods of education furnished the children, has brought the race to a +time and place when it needs many, many helpers, who, living with them +as Thomas Riggs has lived with them, will find their reward in their +growth and development. Wherever the Riggs family live, there the Indian +problem is solved. Where Bishop Hare and Mary Collins work the answer is +already plain. Let the Omahas without any missionary testify also to the +darker side of the question.</p> + +<p>It is not further efforts by the churches for the education of the +Indian that are needed. There are many schools, good, bad, and +indifferent, but still schools, and it is certain that the Government +will<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_87" id="Page_87">[Pg 87]</a></span> attend to the education difficulty. But it is missionaries that +the Indian needs; missionaries to convert heathen. This is an inglorious +service and one of plenteous hardship, but beyond measure it is a +patriotic service, beyond measure it is the work of Him whose "all the +world" began "at Jerusalem," who taught us to find Himself wherever the +least of His children were in sore need.</p> + +<hr class="quarter" /> + + +<h3>A LITTLE BOHEMIAN GIRL'S GIFT.</h3> + +<p>The following letter from Rev. J. S. Porter, Missionary of the American +Board, will explain itself. Will there not be among those who shall read +it some one who would like to purchase the remaining coins given by the +poor little orphan girl in Bohemia for the colored people? If so, our +Treasurer, H. W. Hubbard, will forward the coins upon application from +those who would like to purchase one or more of them. A Christian lady +in Detroit, who abounds in good works, has generously sent us $25 for +one of the coins:</p> + +<div class="blockquot"><div class="right"> +"<span class="smcap">Prague, Bohemia</span>, Sept. 14, 1895.</div> + +<p>"Enclosed find seven Austrian crowns, the gift of a little orphan girl, +Marie Kuchera. She wanted to do something for the colored people, and +this is her offering. Her pastor wished me to send the original crowns +that she gave. Some two years ago I was called into the country, an hour +and a half away, to officiate at the communion service of a poor +consumptive mother and widow. It was a joy to see her sweet patient +endurance during all the long hours she was waiting for her Lord. She +had not long to wait.</p> + +<p>"The little girl who sends these seven crowns—which equal $1.40 in our +money—was the little one she left an orphan. Their home is a humble +one, only one living room, and yet in this humble cottage she is +learning to open her heart to the great needs of her Master's kingdom, +and rejoices to send these offerings for the poor black children."</p></div> + +<hr class="quarter" /> + + +<h3>ACTIVITY, ECONOMY, BENEVOLENCE.</h3> + +<p>The following letter tells the story of the remarkable career of a +Christian minister, whose activity was maintained through a long life, +and whose self-denial enabled him to accumulate handsome sums of money +to be bestowed on worthy objects of benevolence. His sympathies were not +narrow, but widespread, and his genial love of children continued to his +latest days:</p> + +<p>"My father, Rev. Otis Holmes, of Lake Grove, L. I., was an enthusiast in +missions, and never let the time of the missionary concerts go by +without attendance. His salary was never above $800 per year—latterly +only $400—and during his last years, to save the Home<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_88" id="Page_88">[Pg 88]</a></span> Missionary +Society, he gave his services. By rigid economy and incessant toil, with +no vacation during fifty years, he laid aside $1,500 for missions, $500 +to the American Board, $500 to the American Missionary Association, $500 +to the Home Missionary Society. He gave, too, a parsonage lot, and +contributed largely to two parsonages.</p> + +<p>"In his earlier ministry he came in contact with pro-slavery +parishioners, and ever and always stood up for the slave, and at no +little sacrifice. And so upon the temperance question, at the age of +eighty and upwards he would arouse most intense enthusiasm in meeting. +None were heard oftener or more gladly. He had great strength and vigor +and rarely ever missed an appointment. No weather detained him. He won +many souls to Christ, and was quite often called away to revival work. +He was exceedingly fond of children and entered heartily into their +pastimes. He died at Lake Grove at the age of nearly ninety-one, and was +an active pastor at the age of eighty-four. He died honored of his +ministerial brethren, whom he ardently loved, and was mourned by a large +number whom he had benefited during his ministry. Such a life of labor +and love should make its appeal to a selfish and skeptical world."</p> + + +<hr class="section" /> +<h2><a name="In_Memoriam" id="In_Memoriam"></a><b>In Memoriam.</b></h2> + +<hr class="quarter" /> + +<h3>REV. HENRY SWIFT DE FOREST, D.D.</h3> + +<p>The death of this honored servant of God, January 27, at his house in +Talladega, Ala., was sudden and unexpected. Although he has suffered for +several years past under impaired health, yet on the day preceding the +accident he appeared unusually well. He had performed his usual college +duties, attended and spoken at the memorial services for Dr. Cutler on +the afternoon of Friday, and was present at the college social on Friday +night. The accident occurred on Saturday. He arose early in the morning, +as was his custom, and made preparations for his usual bath. On crossing +the hall at the head of the stairway he fell down the entire flight and +was found stretched out, face downward, on the lower floor. The family +came speedily to his relief. Help was summoned from the neighborhood and +medical attendance secured. It was the doctor's opinion that the fall +was due to an apopleptic stroke, which seized him while in the upper +hall and rendered him powerless to either prevent the fall or hinder its +continued progress. Funeral services were held on Tuesday forenoon, +which were attended by many of the best citizens of Talladega, two of +the pastors of the Talladega churches speaking warmly and +sympathetically of Dr. De Forest and of the institution over which he +had presided. Mrs. De Forest and her daughter, accompanied by one of the +professors of the institution, attended the remains to their last +resting place in Sherburne, N.

He +was ordained in New Haven, August 2, 1863, and served as chaplain in the +Eleventh Connecticut Volunteers during the civil war. He was called to +the pastorate of Plymouth Congregational Church, Des Moines, Iowa., +October 17, 1866, where he remained until October, 1879, when he +accepted the call to the Presidency of Talladega College, Talladega, +Ala., a position he has filled with great acceptance to the day of his +death. He was married August 25th, 1869, to Miss Anna M. Robbins, +daughter of Rev. Alden B. Robbins, D.D., of Muscatine, Iowa.</p> + +<p>Dr. De Forest was a man of fine personal presence, affable in manner, +gifted as a speaker, a scholar, and a man of practical affairs.

WILLIAMS.</h3> + +<p>This estimable lady, after four years of severe but patient suffering +from neuralgia, passed away Sunday afternoon, December 22, at her home +in Deerfield, Mass. Miss Williams was a native of Deerfield, an old +historic town in the Connecticut Valley, and a descendant of Rev. T. +Williams, who was taken captive by the Indians. During the war of the +Rebellion Miss Williams was sent by the National Freedman's Aid Society +to labor among the Freedmen of Port Royal Island, S. C. With a +commission and a Government permit alone she found her mission field. +The following year was spent at Richmond, Va., teaching among the +refugees who had come into the city at the close of the war. The next +year she taught a large school in Washington, D. C., at Kendall Green, +and in the autumn of 1867, accompanied by her sister, Miss P. A. +Williams, she began her work at Hampton, Va., teaching in the Butler and +Lincoln schools. After the new building was completed, the sisters were +transferred to the Normal school, which they organized, and the success +of which was largely due to their indefatigable labors. Miss Williams +was connected with the institution two years when she was appointed by +the American Missionary Association as Principal of the Stanton Normal +Institute, Jacksonville, Fla., where she remained seven years.</p> + +<p>Miss Williams always secured the confidence and esteem of those with and +for whom she labored, and was considered one of the most efficient +teachers in the employ of the Association.</p> + + + +<hr class="section" /><p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_90" id="Page_90">[Pg 90]</a></span></p> +<h2><a name="The_South" id="The_South"></a><b>The South.</b></h2> + +<hr class="quarter" /> + +<h3>THANKS, GOVERNOR STONE.</h3> + +<p>The popular Governor of Mississippi, Hon. J. M. Stone, who has filled +the responsible position of chief executive for a greater length of time +than any other person since the formation of the State government, in +his last message to the Senate and House of Representatives called +especial attention to Tougaloo University, as follows:</p> + +<p>"Although Tougaloo University is not a State institution, I desire, in +its behalf, to convey to you in this parting message a word of warm and +sincere commendation. No school in the South is conducted upon higher +principles, and its good effects are felt throughout the State. By way +of recognition of its great merit, and for the high esteem in which its +principal is held in the community, the Board of Visitors has been +continued from term to term, and I recommend that a Board be appointed +by the Governor for the next biennial year."</p> + +<p>As Governor Stone has repeatedly visited Tougaloo, he speaks with +personal knowledge of our great work in the "Black Belt." In +agricultural and industrial work Tougaloo is not excelled in the South, +while the standard of scholarship is greatly superior to that of +industrial schools which seek only elementary attainment.</p> + +<hr class="quarter" /> + + +<h3>GREGORY INSTITUTE, WILMINGTON, N. C.</h3> + +<h4>BY PROF. F. T. WATERS.</h4> + +<p>Christmas in Gregory Normal Institute does not mean simply <i>receiving</i>, +but we have what has proved to us, after a trial of two years, a much +better plan—that of <i>giving</i>. It is truly surprising how much can be +given, even by those who it would seem are too poor to give anything. On +Thursday, December 19, it was announced by the principal in all the +rooms that all who could bring a Christmas offering might do so on +Friday, the last day of the term before the holidays. Before eight a.m. +Friday the articles began to come in, and the variety would discount any +country grocery store, I am sure. Flour, meat, rice, grits, cracked +peas, beans, potatoes, apples, turnips, cabbages, greens, onions, sugar, +tea, coffee, eggs, bacon, wood, kindling, matches, soap, pictures, +thread, needles, pins, and in fact almost every article that can be +eaten or worn or made use of in any way. Quite a good deal of money was +contributed, and that was used for buying articles for needy persons.</p> + +<p>What struck me most forcibly was the willing and cheerful giving. Some +things came from homes where there was scarcely to be found as much more +of the same thing as was brought. I must mention an instance of real +sacrifice, though the things brought will seem, <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_91" id="Page_91">[Pg 91]</a></span>without doubt, to those +who read this article, as of but little worth. One little girl we had +picked out of the most wretched hovel only a few weeks before, so ragged +that except for pity you would wish her out of sight; and when I saw her +coming in with her gift I thought, "What can she bring?" Well, she +brought all she had to bring—literally her whole wealth—a few dirty +little picture cards which some one had given to her and which she had +treasured "lo, these many years," judging from the dirt accumulated on +them. The gift seemed trivial, but it meant something to this little +girl. Hundreds there are in this very city who are in no school—who +can't attend for want of money. Oh that God's treasures could be used to +save his own dear children!</p> + +<p>Thank God there are many who hold a little of God's gold who have laid +it on the altar for His use! I wish some of the consecrated gifts I have +received and used for two poor children, with the accompanying letters, +were not so sacred; I should feel like mentioning some—where a poor +factory girl sent one dollar, with a "God bless you!" and where a good +mother in Israel sent fifty cents in stamps, saying, "This is my +consecration money of three months." So poor was she that the +accumulation was by a penny now and then. Many larger amounts I have +received, but all with the same cheerful "God bless you!" that so cheers +the heart of the missionary far from home and loved ones.</p> + +<hr class="quarter" /> + +<p><span class="smcap">Prayer with a Backbone.</span>—The pastor of one of our smaller +churches in the South, describing the concert of prayer held in behalf +of the Association, tells this brief but pithy story about it: "The +objects and purposes and work of the American Missionary Association +were briefly reviewed at the prayer-meeting, and the prayers in its +behalf were fervent and earnest. But we shall not cease, but continue to +pray for your success. Inclosed please find one dollar as a sort of +backbone to our prayers."</p> + +<hr class="quarter" /> + + +<h3>FUNNY ANSWERS.</h3> + +<p>A teacher in the mountain field gives in a recent letter some of the +answers that came in from the pupils in their examination papers.

Two desperate factions met on the night of the 25th, at +eleven o'clock. Four men and a woman were engaged in it. The leader of +the first faction fired and shot the leader of the second faction in his +own house, and another of the first faction fired at the leader of the +second faction till he fell with two balls through his left arm, one +ball broke his right leg, and two balls went into his back. The leader +of the second faction shot the leader of the first faction in the right +leg and he fell; both men lying within a few feet of each other. The +wife of the leader of the second faction took one of his pistols and +started to kill the first leader, but one of his men stepped up with two +revolvers and told her not to fire, that he would kill her if she did. +This ended the shooting. The first faction helped to carry the leader of +the second faction in the house and then took the first leader away. +They used 32 and 44 calibers.</p> + +<p>The first leader lives four miles from my house. When they told him he +could not live he asked them to send for me. I went and helped dress his +wounds and sung and prayed with him. He said he had been a bad man, and +asked me to pray for him. I heard to-day that some of his friends wanted +him to send for some other minister, but he said no, he wanted no one +but myself; and I expect to go and see him to-morrow if he is still +living. I believe in the near future we will have a good hold in eastern +Kentucky, if the American Missionary Association is successful in +getting the right ministers. The minister's wife has a great deal to do +with his success in this work.</p> + +<hr class="quarter" /> + + +<h3>AN INCIDENT OF MOUNTAIN WORK.</h3> + +<h4>BY A MISSIONARY.</h4> + +<p>At noon, the 16th, I reached Rev. Mr. ——'s home, and after dinner he +hitched up his horse, and we set out for ——, some twelve miles away, +reaching there at dark. 'Twas here I heard the wonderful story of ——'s +rescue and salvation through Bro. ——, one of Rev. Mr. ——'s converts. +Next morning I met the Sunday-school and addressed it. Then came the +after-service, and it was a pleasure to look into those faces and preach +the gospel message, which was so earnestly and anxiously received, and +to think that only six months before a preacher could not come into this +valley to preach and be safe. Some were shot, others thrashed, and +because of the low element located there the place was given up as +hopeless.</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_93" id="Page_93">[Pg 93]</a></span></p><p>Our Bro. ——, in his quiet way, went into the homes and gained them by +personal contact, and for six months held meetings, during which they +were constrained to surrender to Christ. I had the pleasure of hearing +some thirty tell the story of how our A. M. A. preacher won them. It was +a marvelous work, and the good part is the activity that characterizes +each member. Of the sixty members belonging to Rev. Mr. ——'s churches +fifty-seven are praying members, and <i>all</i> sixty take active part in +testimony. A most cordial relation exists between pastor and people. We +held an afternoon service at another one of Rev. Mr. ——'s churches, +where I had the privilege of talking and meeting the friends.</p> + +<hr class="quarter" /> + +<p><span class="smcap">A Mother Teaching Revenge.</span>—"We know the mother in the home of +the mountaineer is a strong influence. How important that she be trained +to occupy this position! I have sat at the fireside and heard the mother +relate the story of a murder and turn to her eldest boy and say, 'Mind +ye, if ever ye meet up with him, you'll not forget to do what ye'er +mammy learned ye to do.' And that boy will not forget unless the grace +of God keep him."</p> + +<hr class="quarter" /> + +<p><span class="smcap">An Interesting Conversion.</span>—The month has been a most blessed +one to us at Deer Lodge. The meetings were not large in numbers, but +they were rich in power and full of spiritual blessings. The report that +---- was converted spread quickly, and a large number came last night to +see and hear him. He had been a wicked man for many years, and now his +change is marked, and he proposes to live as near the Christian life as +possible. He commenced to read the Bible, and reads a chapter both +morning and evening. He told me last night, "I cannot read much, but my +wife can help me, and so together we shall help each other." Oh, how +much joy it would give us if the Holy Spirit would sweep into his +kingdom a number of other precious souls at this place. We shall pray +and work for this end. The young ladies who accepted Christ now take +part in our meetings, and it is no small pleasure to hear them testify +for Christ.</p> + +<hr class="quarter" /> + +<p><span class="smcap">A Communion Service.</span>—"We had a pleasant communion service last +Sunday. Six young people joined in regular Congregational form after +careful examination. We had previously elected a new member, who was a +pupil in the school last year, to be deacon immediately upon his joining +the church. One of those who joined the church made an attempt on my +life last year.

C. L. HALL.</h4> + +<p>We reached the Missouri at dark. A heavy gale tossed the water and +whirled the sand. Can any one hear across the water, or are we to spend +the October night in the timber? The Lord had provided for His work. A +dark figure appeared on the bluff against the fading light. "Di tapi'o?" +is the call across (Who are you?). "Ho-washte" (I am Good Voice) is the +reply. The figure, like the man of Macedonia; the reply, "a voice crying +in the wilderness." The man was Good Bird. He had come out, expecting +his wife, and found us.</p> + +<p>The wind had sunk the flat-boat, and our horse had to wait in the brush +till morning. I cared for him, while the carpenter and Good Bird +crossed. Two other Indians came for me. The wind lulled and the dark +flood flowed silently. Their leaky skiff was plugged with mud. One +rowed, the other watched in the shadows for the landing. I bailed with a +tin can. The current swung us in, and we lugged our tools and provisions +and bedding up a sand slide, and slept in the "Independence Station" log +house.</p> + +<p>We had made several visits during the summer. Once the whole family +stayed a week. We won the affections of Mrs. Pedi'tska-Kadi'shta (Little +Crow), so that she paddled Mrs. Hall over in her hide "bull-boat," on +our return, for twenty-five cents.</p> + +<p>Then our trained nurse left her hospital room and visiting work at<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_95" id="Page_95">[Pg 95]</a></span> Fort +Berthold and kept up the routine, and also treated about twenty patients +among these Mandans.</p> + +<p>This time we had come to finish the house for winter, before the lady +missionary's return from her vacation. Four women plastered outside with +a mixture of mud and dry grass. This is woman's part of house-building +here, I was laborer and cook and preacher for three days, and then left +the carpenter plastering inside.</p> + +<p>The Mandans are friendly, but much behind our Rees at Fort Berthold. +Dead bodies in rough boxes lie on the ground on a knoll not far from our +house, and near by is an old-style earth lodge.</p> + +<p>At Christmas we had more than 125 people out. A cedar tree hung full of +presents. All had a good meal, except plates, which some were not very +familiar with.

W. C. POND, D.D.</h4> + +<p>This work was begun about two years ago as an experiment, the teacher, +Mrs. Martha Ellis, giving her services without expense to us for several +months, till it became apparent that the field was one we ought to +occupy. She is an earnest Christian and is putting her very life-blood +into this service for Christ and the souls he died to save. With her has +been associated from the first Mr. Joe Dun, a most faithful and +efficient helper. He was converted in our Marysville Mission, and has +been a steadfast Christian for many years. He accepts less than half pay +in these times of straitness, and tries to eke out a support for himself +and those dependent upon him by attention to business in a small and, I +fear, far from lucrative way, but gives his <i>heart</i> to mission work. I +feel guilty every time I make a remittance to Watsonville because the +pittance we allow him is so small as compared with the work he does. But +he and the zealous teacher have other rewards far richer than coin.</p> + +<p>I reached the Mission House at about 2:30 <span class="smcap">p.m.</span> Mrs. Ellis's +afternoon class of children was just being dismissed. But it seems they +had heard about me, and were glad to come to order again, and get +acquainted with me and let me hear them sing. It was a sight I never +looked upon before, and did not expect to see in California till we had +come much nearer the millennium than I dare think we now are. Nine +children stood in line before me—three of them Americans, three +Chinese, and three Spanish or Mexican. The whole class numbers sixteen, +the absent ones being five Spanish children and two Jewish ones. They +sang for me, with great vigor and quite good harmony, "Jesus Loves Me," +"Precious Jewels," and "At the Cross." Books were not needed. The words +were packed away in their memory, where they will remain to bless—as we +hope and pray—their whole lives.</p> + +<p>After the children had gone, eleven Chinese brethren gathered about the +table to study with me the Confession of Faith and Covenant of Bethany +Church, San Francisco, with reference to being organized into the +<span class="smcap">Bethany Church of Watsonville</span>. About three hours I spent with +them holding them to close study of that which they would profess and +promise if they were united in Church relationship. They were of various +ages and various grades of intelligence, but I felt that Christ had +refused none of them, and I must not do so. Hum Quong was converted in +Marysville five years before, but had not till now had +opportunity—since he was sufficiently confirmed in his discipleship to +do so—to offer himself for baptism. He had become well versed in +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_98" id="Page_98">[Pg 98]</a></span>Christian truth, and was able to interpret for me, and to assist his +brethren, almost as well as Joe Dun himself. The others were, all of +them, the fruit of our Watsonville work. One had been in California 25 +years, but had attended mission-school nowhere except in Watsonville. He +was a substantial looking man, a good miniature of a New England deacon +of the old school but for his complexion and attire. I was rather +pleased—having made such reflections silently—to hear him nominated by +several voices and to see him unanimously elected their only deacon. His +name is Ng Kite.</p> + +<p>It was a scene that interested the angels, I am sure, when in our rude +little mission-house, in the presence of a goodly company both of +Chinese and Americans, those twelve disciples stood together, hand in +hand, and accepted their confession and covenant. Eleven were Chinese; +one, their teacher, was an American. Ten were baptized—the largest +number of Chinese that I have ever baptized at one time.</p> + +<p>Some, at least, of the village pastors, and a large company of other +Christians—too large for our limited space—would have been with us but +for the fact that Union Evangelistic services were in progress and they +felt it necessary to attend and take part in them.</p> + +<p>Is it not worth while to maintain in vigor a work like this?</p> + +<hr class="quarter" /> + + +<h3>SANTA CRUZ MISSION.</h3> + +<p>Of this mission Dr. Pond writes: I give you an opportunity to share my +joy by inclosing the letter from Mrs. Hall, our teacher at Santa Cruz. +She has been for three months teaching a class of Japanese after her +teaching in the Chinese school is ended; that is after nine o'clock in +the evening—often not beginning till nearly ten. The two schools are +now happily united at our Chinese Mission House:</p> + +<div class="blockquot"><h4>LETTER FROM MRS. KATE V. HALL.</h4> + +<p>"My heart is filled with gladness this New Year, and I am sure that the +tidings I send you will make you happy also. Four Japanese and two +Chinese have given their hearts to the Lord in the past month; two +Japanese and two Chinese will receive baptism Sunday, and the other two +Japanese will wait till the following Communion, as they wish to study +the Bible more. I am satisfied to have them wait, if they wish, as I +want them to have all doubts cleared away.</p> + +<p>"I will not send a report for the Japanese, as they came into the +Chinese Mission three nights ago. I am so glad they were willing to +attend the Chinese school, as my work at the Chinese Mission is growing +each night, and often when I reached the Japanese school I was so hoarse +I could hardly speak, so now, by remaining a half hour later, I will be +able to do the same amount of work without hurrying so. I feel that the +Lord has fully repaid me for my labor at the Japanese school."</p></div> + + + +<hr class="section" /> +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_99" id="Page_99">[Pg 99]</a></span></p> +<h2><a name="WOMANS_STATE_ORGANIZATIONS" id="WOMANS_STATE_ORGANIZATIONS"></a><b>WOMAN'S STATE ORGANIZATIONS</b></h2> + +<hr class="quarter" /> + +<ul> +<li class="state">MAINE.</li> +<li class="org">Woman's Aid to A.

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 http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements.

To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://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.

General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://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. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/21952-h/images/ill_1.jpg b/21952-h/images/ill_1.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..436b0c5 --- /dev/null +++ b/21952-h/images/ill_1.jpg diff --git a/21952-h/images/ill_2.jpg b/21952-h/images/ill_2.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..ac4b330 --- /dev/null +++ b/21952-h/images/ill_2.jpg diff --git a/21952-h/images/title.jpg b/21952-h/images/title.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..e894291 --- /dev/null +++ b/21952-h/images/title.jpg diff --git a/21952.txt b/21952.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..7335370 --- /dev/null +++ b/21952.txt @@ -0,0 +1,3546 @@ +The Project Gutenberg EBook of American Missionary - Volume 50, No. 3, +March, 1896, by Various + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

The will should be attested by three witnesses. + + + + +THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY + +VOL. L. MARCH, 1896. No. 3. + + +WHAT NOW? + +One-third of the fiscal year passed on Feb. 1st without any special +campaign of appeals in behalf of the debt and the suffering work of the +American Missionary Association. We have constantly reported to its +supporting churches and friends the exact financial condition of the +Association. We have reiterated the call voted at our Annual Meeting for +such enlargement of support as will bring the receipts of this +semi-centennial year up to $500,000. We have emphasized the urgency of +the present and prospective needs of the work. + +We are sensible of the pressure made upon the churches to increase their +benefactions along the different lines of the Congregational mission +service. We rejoice over their increased offerings in this critical +period, although the support of their work through the American +Missionary Association has not been increased. Their contributions to +the Association in these past four months stand at about the disastrous +figure of the corresponding period last year. The other eight months of +that year suffered from a disheartening reduction which raised the total +debt to nearly a hundred thousand dollars. If the coming eight months +are to bring the same proportionate reduction which the corresponding +eight months of last year suffered, we frankly say now and here that a +new debt will be incurred in addition to the old one. We cannot avoid it +and we cannot remain silent about it. + +What now? Must our debt grow? We cannot reduce our working forces on the +instant. We cannot at once call off our missionaries whom we have +engaged for the current year and to whom we have pledged their support. +They have both the moral and the legal right to their support for the +time stipulated. This is a necessity in the administration of the +missionary societies which are called to employ large numbers of +missionaries. They must keep faith with their workers. + +What now? Reduction? Within the last three years we have reduced our +work by $124,000. But our receipts were reduced in increasing measure +each year by a total of $224,000. Further reduction? Yes, as soon as +possible, under present engagements, if it must be so. Is this the +decision of the Christian people in the churches? Is it wise? Is it +necessary? Must the life-blood of these missions to the poorest, the +most needy of all the peoples in America be shed? Does not the condition +of these lowly and helpless millions cry out to God against it? + +The American Missionary Association has been providentially called to +minister to the down-trodden, the submerged millions of our common +country. Their distressful needs are in danger of being left aside in +the pressure of other worthy appeals for aid. Will not the thoughtful, +the large-minded and large-hearted, who lead in every benevolent service +of the churches, come to the rescue of this imperiled Christian service? +Will they not make this fiftieth year of the American Missionary +Association a year of jubilee by bringing an advance of at least a +hundred thousand dollars before the assembling of our great Boston +Convention in October? + + +BISHOP HAYGOOD.--The recent death of Atticus G. Haygood of the +Methodist Episcopal Church South has removed a very useful man from +among those who are conscientiously engaged in the uplifting of the +colored people and in promoting harmony between the two races in the +South. In the writing of his books and his numerous articles for the +press, in his conscientious administration of the Slater Fund and in his +work as Bishop, he has rendered a permanent benefit to his church and +the country. + + +PAMPHLETS AND ADDRESSES. + +Since the publication, in a recent number of THE MISSIONARY, of +the list of the documents ready for distribution on application of our +friends, we add the following: + +Annual Report of the Association. + +Sermon by Rev. WM. HAYES WARD, D.D., "Instead of thy Fathers +shall be thy Children." + +Citizenship and Christianity, by Rev. SHERROD SOULE. + +The Debt of Our Country to the American Highlanders During the +War, by Secretary C. J. RYDER. (Reprint, illustrated.) + + +"GREAT TRUTHS SIMPLY TOLD" is the title of a most excellent +little book compiled by Prof. George L. Wood, of Philadelphia. A special +fund has been contributed by a friend interested in the circulation of +this useful little volume, which makes it possible for us to offer to +our missionaries a limited number, if they will write asking for the +same. We are very glad to be able in this way to give a wider +circulation to this valuable book, which will prove useful in teaching +Christian truth. + + +INCREASED GIFTS.--We are glad to learn that the Prospect Hill +Church, Somerville, Mass., of which Rev. E. S. Tead is pastor, have just +added 65 per cent. to their gifts of last year to our work. The Grace +Church of South Framingham, of which Rev. F. E. Emrich is pastor, have +also increased their gifts by about $200 over last year. + + +"HOSANNA"--"CRUCIFY." + +On an ever-memorable day, the Son of Man rode into Jerusalem. A vast +multitude of people thronged the streets and cast their garments and +palm branches before Him, and with unbounded enthusiasm cried "Hosanna +in the highest!" But only a few days later that same multitude, as cruel +as they were fickle, followed the Son of Man with the fiendish cry +"Crucify him! crucify him!" ceasing not until he hung on the cross, and +then they taunted him with sneers and mockings. + +The followers of the Son of Man are sometimes called in their measure to +pass through almost similar circumstances changing from the highest +praise to the bitterest denunciation. Dr. Theodore L. Cuyler, that grand +old man, who surpasses all others of this generation in his knowledge of +the great men of his times and in his accurate and vivid descriptions of +them, has given, in a recent article in _The Evangelist_, a striking +sketch of some of the prominent clergymen and laymen of this city two +generations past: + +"The death of that noble Christian philanthropist, William A. Booth, +removes from us about the last survivor of a remarkable group of men who +for three-quarters of a century impressed themselves most deeply on the +religious life of New York and the whole country. Among the earlier +members of this group were the brothers, Arthur and Lewis Tappan, Harlan +Page, Anson G. Phelps, Moses Allen, R. T. Haines, W. W. Chester, and +Joshua Leavitt, who was one of the earliest editors of _The Evangelist_. +Later on we come upon the names of William E. Dodge, Christopher R. +Robert, William A. Booth, Apollos Wetmore, R. M. Hartley, Robert Carter, +James Brown, and Jesse W. Benedict. Other names might be added to this +roll of honor, but these were representative and conspicuous. + +"As far back as 1825 Arthur Tappan might have been called the most +prominent Christian layman in New York. His moral courage and +philanthropic zeal made him on a humbler scale what Lord Shaftesbury +became on a larger scale in London. Those were days of foundation-laying +of great religious enterprises. The Home Missionary Society, the +American Temperance Society, the American Sunday-school Union, and +the Seamen's Friend Society were born about that time. In February, +1825, Arthur Tappan sent on to Boston for the Rev. Wm. A. Hallock, +who before sunrise on a winter morning presented himself at Mr. +Tappan's door. They called together a few warm-hearted Christians--among +whom were Messrs. Allen, Haines, and Chester--and the American Tract +Society was organized, and its new building was erected. It was while +in the employ of the Tract Society that Harlan Page did his wonderful +work as a consecrated laborer for the conversion of souls." + +It was not Dr. Cuyler's purpose to follow these men in their later +experiences. But we take the liberty of doing so in respect to one of +the persons named, Arthur Tappan, of whom Dr. Cuyler says that as far +back as 1825 he might have been called "the most prominent Christian +layman in New York." If we step down nine years to 1834, we shall find +that same Arthur Tappan ostracized by his former associates, ridiculed +and denounced by the press, a reward of $50,000 offered for his head, +and his store assailed by an infuriated mob, and defended inside by Mr. +Tappan and his little band of clerks, of whom the editor and proprietor +of _The Independent_ was then one. It is not too much to say that in +1834 Arthur Tappan was the best-abused man in New York. + +It may be asked with surprise, What had made this great change? The +answer is simple: He had become an _abolitionist_. The same zeal in the +Master's cause which led him to do so much in founding and sustaining +the great missionary and benevolent enterprises, induced him to assist +the anti-slavery cause, which had then come forward. He felt a profound +sympathy for the oppressed slave, and rejoiced to do what he could to +secure his emancipation. + +It should be remarked that Mr. Tappan did not agree with those +abolitionists who denounced the Constitution and the Church. On the +contrary, he took a leading part in the formation of a new anti-slavery +society that was established in opposition to those extremists. He was +the president of that new society for many years. Mr. Tappan used the +same quiet and unassuming methods in giving his time, influence, and +money to the anti-slavery cause as he did to the other benevolent and +missionary enterprises. + +Now we think that the Son of Man, assailed by the mob in the Garden and +crucified on Calvary that He might save the world, was more exalted, and +revealed His divine character more distinctly, than when He was +surrounded by the hosannas of the thoughtless and fickle mob. So, in +like manner and at a humble distance, Arthur Tappan reached his highest +point of honor as a patriotic Christian man when, for the sake of the +poor and downtrodden slaves, he was willing to bear reproach and +jeopardize his life in their behalf. + +Mr. Tappan and his associates, fifty years ago, founded the American +Missionary Association amid the obloquy and danger that surrounded +anti-slavery people in that day; and now, as the Association is +rejoicing in its successful and honored work in this its Jubilee year, +we take pleasure in its behalf in testifying to the courage and +self-sacrificing labors of its founders. + +_From The Independent._ + + +THE PRESENT NEED OF THE INDIANS. + +BY MISS ANNA L. DAWES. + +It would appear that there was a certain definite loss to the cause of +Christianity among the Indians when that work ceased to be called +Foreign Missions, and became Home Missions. In the face of much +opposition and many sneers since the day it first discovered its +"marching orders," the Church has never ceased to believe it to be its +duty to go out into all the world and preach the gospel, and +persecution, neglect, or starvation have only served to intensify its +zeal. It _must_ preach the gospel to the heathen. But in regard to Home +Missions the Church has felt that it _may_ preach the gospel to +neighbors, not that it _must_--that it is a good and desirable thing to +do, but by no means an inexorable duty. If the Indians had remained +foreign heathen, we might hope for a Students' Volunteer movement, for +an Inland Mission, for a zeal beyond wisdom which even sets forth to +preach the gospel in the midst of war. The Indians are as pagan as the +Japanese or the Hindus, for instance: their redemption is as great a +necessity as the redemption of the Chinese. Their chiefs plead for help +and teachers in no less touching fashion than do South African kings. +But those fill us with missionary zeal. We cry unto heaven for money and +opportunity to go over seas to convert those; but these, the heathen in +our very midst, most of us neither see nor hear. Can it be because there +is neither romance nor mystery about these others? The test of the +reality of our zeal is before us here and now. We may measure the value +of our professions for ourselves. + +At this present time the need of the Indians for missionaries is greater +than ever before. They have reached not only a new crisis, but a crisis +of a new kind. Practically speaking the Government has done what it can +for them, or very nearly all. The Indian has law, land, education, he is +fast becoming absorbed in the surrounding people, but never was he in +worse need. All these great fundamental principles of social life have +been thrust upon him, oft against his will and largely unprepared; +certainly with very little comprehension of their resulting privileges +or duties. He needs a friend beside him at every step. Thrust out into +an alien and hostile community, he is in some sense in a worse case than +when he dwelt alone in undisturbed barbarism. + +And again, civilization is not Christianity. This truth, so obvious +everywhere else, seems to be lost sight of when the Indians are +considered. We discover that, although educated, they will not stay +refined, that they are civilized, but will not remain moral. Behold, +says the caviller, there is no good Indian until he dies, and even his +friends complain that the young men will "go back" to gambling games and +horse races. It is true that some measure of refinement and fine morals +is peculiarly necessary to the Indians just now, but these are not any +necessary part of civilization. They are, however, inseparable to +Christianity, and by this token the red man needs Christianity for his +everyday life even more than the white man, who is surrounded by a +Christian atmosphere. If we would have the newly-liberated Indians a +valuable and reliable part of the community in this world they must be +Christianized. Just why goes back a long way; but a fact it is, that +whatever may be true of Chinese or Poles or Bohemians, if the Indian is +to have any staying power, if he is to be anything but a despair to his +friends and a curse to all around him, he must be _converted_ as well as +civilized. The use of his land, the best system of law, an absolute +restriction upon liquor, all together, will do no more for him in the +Northwest than it has done for Cherokee or Choctaw. It is the building +up of the individual that is needed to-day quite as much as any +legislation which shall improve the community. + +Not only has the Indian come to a time of special need, not only does he +need Christianity to make his land and his education of any value, not +only is his law unsupported by his own character of little worth, but he +needs Christian missionaries more and more, because he has ceased to be +the Indian and become Indians. It is peculiarly true that every tribe, +every group, every family almost, has reached a different state of need. +The varying pressure of circumstances combined with the differing +methods of education furnished the children, has brought the race to a +time and place when it needs many, many helpers, who, living with them +as Thomas Riggs has lived with them, will find their reward in their +growth and development. Wherever the Riggs family live, there the Indian +problem is solved. Where Bishop Hare and Mary Collins work the answer is +already plain. Let the Omahas without any missionary testify also to the +darker side of the question. + +It is not further efforts by the churches for the education of the +Indian that are needed. There are many schools, good, bad, and +indifferent, but still schools, and it is certain that the Government +will attend to the education difficulty. But it is missionaries that +the Indian needs; missionaries to convert heathen. This is an inglorious +service and one of plenteous hardship, but beyond measure it is a +patriotic service, beyond measure it is the work of Him whose "all the +world" began "at Jerusalem," who taught us to find Himself wherever the +least of His children were in sore need. + + +A LITTLE BOHEMIAN GIRL'S GIFT. + +The following letter from Rev. J. S. Porter, Missionary of the American +Board, will explain itself. Will there not be among those who shall read +it some one who would like to purchase the remaining coins given by the +poor little orphan girl in Bohemia for the colored people? If so, our +Treasurer, H. W. Hubbard, will forward the coins upon application from +those who would like to purchase one or more of them. A Christian lady +in Detroit, who abounds in good works, has generously sent us $25 for +one of the coins: + + "PRAGUE, BOHEMIA, Sept. 14, 1895. + + "Enclosed find seven Austrian crowns, the gift of a little orphan + girl, Marie Kuchera. She wanted to do something for the colored + people, and this is her offering. Her pastor wished me to send the + original crowns that she gave. Some two years ago I was called into + the country, an hour and a half away, to officiate at the communion + service of a poor consumptive mother and widow. It was a joy to see + her sweet patient endurance during all the long hours she was + waiting for her Lord. She had not long to wait. + + "The little girl who sends these seven crowns--which equal $1.40 in + our money--was the little one she left an orphan. Their home is a + humble one, only one living room, and yet in this humble cottage she + is learning to open her heart to the great needs of her Master's + kingdom, and rejoices to send these offerings for the poor black + children." + + +ACTIVITY, ECONOMY, BENEVOLENCE. + +The following letter tells the story of the remarkable career of a +Christian minister, whose activity was maintained through a long life, +and whose self-denial enabled him to accumulate handsome sums of money +to be bestowed on worthy objects of benevolence. His sympathies were not +narrow, but widespread, and his genial love of children continued to his +latest days: + +"My father, Rev. Otis Holmes, of Lake Grove, L. I., was an enthusiast in +missions, and never let the time of the missionary concerts go by +without attendance. His salary was never above $800 per year--latterly +only $400--and during his last years, to save the Home Missionary +Society, he gave his services. By rigid economy and incessant toil, with +no vacation during fifty years, he laid aside $1,500 for missions, $500 +to the American Board, $500 to the American Missionary Association, $500 +to the Home Missionary Society. He gave, too, a parsonage lot, and +contributed largely to two parsonages. + +"In his earlier ministry he came in contact with pro-slavery +parishioners, and ever and always stood up for the slave, and at no +little sacrifice. And so upon the temperance question, at the age of +eighty and upwards he would arouse most intense enthusiasm in meeting. +None were heard oftener or more gladly. He had great strength and vigor +and rarely ever missed an appointment. No weather detained him. He won +many souls to Christ, and was quite often called away to revival work. +He was exceedingly fond of children and entered heartily into their +pastimes. He died at Lake Grove at the age of nearly ninety-one, and was +an active pastor at the age of eighty-four. He died honored of his +ministerial brethren, whom he ardently loved, and was mourned by a large +number whom he had benefited during his ministry. Such a life of labor +and love should make its appeal to a selfish and skeptical world." + + + + +In Memoriam. + + +REV. HENRY SWIFT DE FOREST, D.D. + +The death of this honored servant of God, January 27, at his house in +Talladega, Ala., was sudden and unexpected. Although he has suffered for +several years past under impaired health, yet on the day preceding the +accident he appeared unusually well. He had performed his usual college +duties, attended and spoken at the memorial services for Dr. Cutler on +the afternoon of Friday, and was present at the college social on Friday +night. The accident occurred on Saturday. He arose early in the morning, +as was his custom, and made preparations for his usual bath. On crossing +the hall at the head of the stairway he fell down the entire flight and +was found stretched out, face downward, on the lower floor. The family +came speedily to his relief. Help was summoned from the neighborhood and +medical attendance secured. It was the doctor's opinion that the fall +was due to an apopleptic stroke, which seized him while in the upper +hall and rendered him powerless to either prevent the fall or hinder its +continued progress. Funeral services were held on Tuesday forenoon, +which were attended by many of the best citizens of Talladega, two of +the pastors of the Talladega churches speaking warmly and +sympathetically of Dr. De Forest and of the institution over which he +had presided. Mrs. De Forest and her daughter, accompanied by one of the +professors of the institution, attended the remains to their last +resting place in Sherburne, N. Y. + +Dr. De Forest was of Huguenot descent; was born in So. Edmeston, N. Y., +March 17, 1833, was graduated from Yale College in 1857, and obtained +his theological education at Yale and Union theological seminaries. He +was ordained in New Haven, August 2, 1863, and served as chaplain in the +Eleventh Connecticut Volunteers during the civil war. He was called to +the pastorate of Plymouth Congregational Church, Des Moines, Iowa., +October 17, 1866, where he remained until October, 1879, when he +accepted the call to the Presidency of Talladega College, Talladega, +Ala., a position he has filled with great acceptance to the day of his +death. He was married August 25th, 1869, to Miss Anna M. Robbins, +daughter of Rev. Alden B. Robbins, D.D., of Muscatine, Iowa. + +Dr. De Forest was a man of fine personal presence, affable in manner, +gifted as a speaker, a scholar, and a man of practical affairs. His life +has been varied, but in whatever position he has been employed he has +soon won the confidence and esteem of those with whom he has been +associated. + + +MISS LUCELIA E. WILLIAMS. + +This estimable lady, after four years of severe but patient suffering +from neuralgia, passed away Sunday afternoon, December 22, at her home +in Deerfield, Mass. Miss Williams was a native of Deerfield, an old +historic town in the Connecticut Valley, and a descendant of Rev. T. +Williams, who was taken captive by the Indians. During the war of the +Rebellion Miss Williams was sent by the National Freedman's Aid Society +to labor among the Freedmen of Port Royal Island, S. C. With a +commission and a Government permit alone she found her mission field. +The following year was spent at Richmond, Va., teaching among the +refugees who had come into the city at the close of the war. The next +year she taught a large school in Washington, D. C., at Kendall Green, +and in the autumn of 1867, accompanied by her sister, Miss P. A. +Williams, she began her work at Hampton, Va., teaching in the Butler and +Lincoln schools. After the new building was completed, the sisters were +transferred to the Normal school, which they organized, and the success +of which was largely due to their indefatigable labors. Miss Williams +was connected with the institution two years when she was appointed by +the American Missionary Association as Principal of the Stanton Normal +Institute, Jacksonville, Fla., where she remained seven years. + +Miss Williams always secured the confidence and esteem of those with and +for whom she labored, and was considered one of the most efficient +teachers in the employ of the Association. + + + + +The South. + + +THANKS, GOVERNOR STONE. + +The popular Governor of Mississippi, Hon. J. M. Stone, who has filled +the responsible position of chief executive for a greater length of time +than any other person since the formation of the State government, in +his last message to the Senate and House of Representatives called +especial attention to Tougaloo University, as follows: + +"Although Tougaloo University is not a State institution, I desire, in +its behalf, to convey to you in this parting message a word of warm and +sincere commendation. No school in the South is conducted upon higher +principles, and its good effects are felt throughout the State. By way +of recognition of its great merit, and for the high esteem in which its +principal is held in the community, the Board of Visitors has been +continued from term to term, and I recommend that a Board be appointed +by the Governor for the next biennial year." + +As Governor Stone has repeatedly visited Tougaloo, he speaks with +personal knowledge of our great work in the "Black Belt." In +agricultural and industrial work Tougaloo is not excelled in the South, +while the standard of scholarship is greatly superior to that of +industrial schools which seek only elementary attainment. + + +GREGORY INSTITUTE, WILMINGTON, N. C. + +BY PROF. F. T. WATERS. + +Christmas in Gregory Normal Institute does not mean simply _receiving_, +but we have what has proved to us, after a trial of two years, a much +better plan--that of _giving_. It is truly surprising how much can be +given, even by those who it would seem are too poor to give anything. On +Thursday, December 19, it was announced by the principal in all the +rooms that all who could bring a Christmas offering might do so on +Friday, the last day of the term before the holidays. Before eight a.m. +Friday the articles began to come in, and the variety would discount any +country grocery store, I am sure. Flour, meat, rice, grits, cracked +peas, beans, potatoes, apples, turnips, cabbages, greens, onions, sugar, +tea, coffee, eggs, bacon, wood, kindling, matches, soap, pictures, +thread, needles, pins, and in fact almost every article that can be +eaten or worn or made use of in any way. Quite a good deal of money was +contributed, and that was used for buying articles for needy persons. + +What struck me most forcibly was the willing and cheerful giving. Some +things came from homes where there was scarcely to be found as much more +of the same thing as was brought. I must mention an instance of real +sacrifice, though the things brought will seem, without doubt, to those +who read this article, as of but little worth. One little girl we had +picked out of the most wretched hovel only a few weeks before, so ragged +that except for pity you would wish her out of sight; and when I saw her +coming in with her gift I thought, "What can she bring?" Well, she +brought all she had to bring--literally her whole wealth--a few dirty +little picture cards which some one had given to her and which she had +treasured "lo, these many years," judging from the dirt accumulated on +them. The gift seemed trivial, but it meant something to this little +girl. Hundreds there are in this very city who are in no school--who +can't attend for want of money. Oh that God's treasures could be used to +save his own dear children! + +Thank God there are many who hold a little of God's gold who have laid +it on the altar for His use! I wish some of the consecrated gifts I have +received and used for two poor children, with the accompanying letters, +were not so sacred; I should feel like mentioning some--where a poor +factory girl sent one dollar, with a "God bless you!" and where a good +mother in Israel sent fifty cents in stamps, saying, "This is my +consecration money of three months." So poor was she that the +accumulation was by a penny now and then. Many larger amounts I have +received, but all with the same cheerful "God bless you!" that so cheers +the heart of the missionary far from home and loved ones. + + +PRAYER WITH A BACKBONE.--The pastor of one of our smaller +churches in the South, describing the concert of prayer held in behalf +of the Association, tells this brief but pithy story about it: "The +objects and purposes and work of the American Missionary Association +were briefly reviewed at the prayer-meeting, and the prayers in its +behalf were fervent and earnest. But we shall not cease, but continue to +pray for your success. Inclosed please find one dollar as a sort of +backbone to our prayers." + + +FUNNY ANSWERS. + +A teacher in the mountain field gives in a recent letter some of the +answers that came in from the pupils in their examination papers. Some +of them are amusing. + +"Climate is the combined space of heat and moisture." + +"The solar system is situated in that part of the heavens called the +Milky Way." + +"The polar circle is parallel, running slanting round the earth." + +"It is the wind's duty to refresh and cherish the earth." + +"A volcano is the safety-valve of an earthquake." + +Digestive organs are termed "dijective organs," and the different races +of men were given as "Indians, Negroes, Whites, and French." + + +FAMILY FEUD IN THE MOUNTAINS. + +BY A MISSIONARY. + +I have recently witnessed the result of a Kentucky riot, the first since +I came here. Two desperate factions met on the night of the 25th, at +eleven o'clock. Four men and a woman were engaged in it. The leader of +the first faction fired and shot the leader of the second faction in his +own house, and another of the first faction fired at the leader of the +second faction till he fell with two balls through his left arm, one +ball broke his right leg, and two balls went into his back. The leader +of the second faction shot the leader of the first faction in the right +leg and he fell; both men lying within a few feet of each other. The +wife of the leader of the second faction took one of his pistols and +started to kill the first leader, but one of his men stepped up with two +revolvers and told her not to fire, that he would kill her if she did. +This ended the shooting. The first faction helped to carry the leader of +the second faction in the house and then took the first leader away. +They used 32 and 44 calibers. + +The first leader lives four miles from my house. When they told him he +could not live he asked them to send for me. I went and helped dress his +wounds and sung and prayed with him. He said he had been a bad man, and +asked me to pray for him. I heard to-day that some of his friends wanted +him to send for some other minister, but he said no, he wanted no one +but myself; and I expect to go and see him to-morrow if he is still +living. I believe in the near future we will have a good hold in eastern +Kentucky, if the American Missionary Association is successful in +getting the right ministers. The minister's wife has a great deal to do +with his success in this work. + + +AN INCIDENT OF MOUNTAIN WORK. + +BY A MISSIONARY. + +At noon, the 16th, I reached Rev. Mr. ----'s home, and after dinner he +hitched up his horse, and we set out for ----, some twelve miles away, +reaching there at dark. 'Twas here I heard the wonderful story of ----'s +rescue and salvation through Bro. ----, one of Rev. Mr. ----'s converts. +Next morning I met the Sunday-school and addressed it. Then came the +after-service, and it was a pleasure to look into those faces and preach +the gospel message, which was so earnestly and anxiously received, and +to think that only six months before a preacher could not come into this +valley to preach and be safe. Some were shot, others thrashed, and +because of the low element located there the place was given up as +hopeless. + +Our Bro. ----, in his quiet way, went into the homes and gained them by +personal contact, and for six months held meetings, during which they +were constrained to surrender to Christ. I had the pleasure of hearing +some thirty tell the story of how our A. M. A. preacher won them. It was +a marvelous work, and the good part is the activity that characterizes +each member. Of the sixty members belonging to Rev. Mr. ----'s churches +fifty-seven are praying members, and _all_ sixty take active part in +testimony. A most cordial relation exists between pastor and people. We +held an afternoon service at another one of Rev. Mr. ----'s churches, +where I had the privilege of talking and meeting the friends. + + +A MOTHER TEACHING REVENGE.--"We know the mother in the home of +the mountaineer is a strong influence. How important that she be trained +to occupy this position! I have sat at the fireside and heard the mother +relate the story of a murder and turn to her eldest boy and say, 'Mind +ye, if ever ye meet up with him, you'll not forget to do what ye'er +mammy learned ye to do.' And that boy will not forget unless the grace +of God keep him." + + +AN INTERESTING CONVERSION.--The month has been a most blessed +one to us at Deer Lodge. The meetings were not large in numbers, but +they were rich in power and full of spiritual blessings. The report that +---- was converted spread quickly, and a large number came last night to +see and hear him. He had been a wicked man for many years, and now his +change is marked, and he proposes to live as near the Christian life as +possible. He commenced to read the Bible, and reads a chapter both +morning and evening. He told me last night, "I cannot read much, but my +wife can help me, and so together we shall help each other." Oh, how +much joy it would give us if the Holy Spirit would sweep into his +kingdom a number of other precious souls at this place. We shall pray +and work for this end. The young ladies who accepted Christ now take +part in our meetings, and it is no small pleasure to hear them testify +for Christ. + + +A COMMUNION SERVICE.--"We had a pleasant communion service last +Sunday. Six young people joined in regular Congregational form after +careful examination. We had previously elected a new member, who was a +pupil in the school last year, to be deacon immediately upon his joining +the church. One of those who joined the church made an attempt on my +life last year. Though he is nearly as old as I he is now a docile pupil +in the fourth-reader grade." + + +HEATHERLY CHAPEL.--The new church in the mountain field, in +Tennessee was organized in November, and is called Heatherly Chapel. It +is enjoying a very interesting revival season. About fifty have been +hopefully converted, twenty-two having joined the new church. This new +church is an important addition to the work which the American +Missionary Association is accomplishing in the mountain field. + + +A USEFUL CHURCH.--From Corbin comes the message of deep +spiritual interest and large usefulness in the church. At the last +communion five were added and the work still goes on very encouragingly. +A Sunday-school is carried on by the Christian Endeavorers of the Corbin +church in a community near by. + + +CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR SOCIETY.--A Young People's Society of +Christian Endeavor was organized at La Follette, Tenn., early in +December. Thirteen members united with this society and much enthusiasm +was manifested. + + + + +The Indians. + + +DI TAPI'O? + +BY REV. C. L. HALL. + +We reached the Missouri at dark. A heavy gale tossed the water and +whirled the sand. Can any one hear across the water, or are we to spend +the October night in the timber? The Lord had provided for His work. A +dark figure appeared on the bluff against the fading light. "Di tapi'o?" +is the call across (Who are you?). "Ho-washte" (I am Good Voice) is the +reply. The figure, like the man of Macedonia; the reply, "a voice crying +in the wilderness." The man was Good Bird. He had come out, expecting +his wife, and found us. + +The wind had sunk the flat-boat, and our horse had to wait in the brush +till morning. I cared for him, while the carpenter and Good Bird +crossed. Two other Indians came for me. The wind lulled and the dark +flood flowed silently. Their leaky skiff was plugged with mud. One +rowed, the other watched in the shadows for the landing. I bailed with a +tin can. The current swung us in, and we lugged our tools and provisions +and bedding up a sand slide, and slept in the "Independence Station" log +house. + +We had made several visits during the summer. Once the whole family +stayed a week. We won the affections of Mrs. Pedi'tska-Kadi'shta (Little +Crow), so that she paddled Mrs. Hall over in her hide "bull-boat," on +our return, for twenty-five cents. + +Then our trained nurse left her hospital room and visiting work at Fort +Berthold and kept up the routine, and also treated about twenty patients +among these Mandans. + +This time we had come to finish the house for winter, before the lady +missionary's return from her vacation. Four women plastered outside with +a mixture of mud and dry grass. This is woman's part of house-building +here, I was laborer and cook and preacher for three days, and then left +the carpenter plastering inside. + +The Mandans are friendly, but much behind our Rees at Fort Berthold. +Dead bodies in rough boxes lie on the ground on a knoll not far from our +house, and near by is an old-style earth lodge. + +At Christmas we had more than 125 people out. A cedar tree hung full of +presents. All had a good meal, except plates, which some were not very +familiar with. A crowd of big men reached out eagerly for the luxury of +red apples. + +[Illustration: MEETING HOUSE. DWELLING. + +MOODY STATION, NO. 1 (INDEPENDENCE).] + +This station is named for Mr. Moody, who gave money to start it. The +place is a hill in the midst of a valley independent of the bluffs on +either side and so Awatahesh--Independence. + +Mr. A. P. Nichols, of Haverhill, Mass., kindly offered $200 if we would +reopen the station. We have done so, trusting to our friends for $300 +more for the year. The work is yet in the dough, but the yeast is in and +it is rising. + +Our Elbowoods station began far out in the wilderness in a log house +like the Independence meeting-house. The Government, after several +years, planted its central agency by our station and so brought many +under our influence. Now we have a new dwelling, with a chapel attached, +and the congregation have raised $130 toward the expense. + +[Illustration: DWELLING. CHAPEL. + +MOODY STATION, NO. 2 (ELBOWOODS).] + +These stations are the spokes of which the Fort Berthold +boarding-school and hospital and church work are the hub. Every hub must +have spokes--as here. If you rim the whole with some of your silver or +gold, and bolt it on with prayer the whole work will roll on. + +Di tapi'o? Indians, and whites too, some gladly others uneasily, are +finding out who we are--you dear friends of the churches and we here +together--a power for righteousness from and by the King. + + +THANKSGIVING DAY.--Rev. C. L. Hall gives us the following +interesting glimpse of Thanksgiving in a prairie mission school: + +"We are to have a church dinner on Thanksgiving (Shak-s-shte-hun), for +which the church have collected produce and money, so that there will be +a large thank offering to the Lord, all paid up, not subscribed. Mrs. +Black Rabbit and Mrs. Crow and Mrs. Two Bears and Cedar Woman are on the +committee to help cook and prepare dinner. There are rabbits and geese +and beef to cook, which is cooked and which cook you can decide. + +Clear moonlight on the snow, mild but no thaw, fine sledding. It was a +good night to come home from prayer meeting at Deacon Many-bears." + + +BUSY DAY OF AN INDIAN MISSIONARY.--Rev. Myron Eells, our +missionary at S'kokomish, Washington, writes: + +"Last Sabbath my work was as follows, though it was a little extra: +Superintended the Sunday-school at the Agency at 9:30; 57 present. +Taught a Sunday-school class. Preached at the same place at 11, then was +on my horse in a few minutes, and at 12:05 was a mile distant and +preached to the Indians. Then rode four miles to John's Creek and +preached to a small congregation of whites in English at 3:00 +P.M., eating my lunch as I rode along. Came home by six +o'clock, and at seven o'clock went in for half an hour to the Christian +Endeavor meeting." + + +A THANK OFFERING.--Miss Collins, of Fort Yates, N. D., in +writing of the Indian work at her mission, says: + +"Last night there was a New Year's meeting, and they took up a 'Thank +Offering' because God had been so good the past year, and they handed me +ten dollars this morning for the native missionary society, and they +pledged ten more. Pretty substantial way to show gratitude to God! Oh if +our churches would come to the help of our American Missionary +Association in so liberal a way, what might we not do for Christ this +year!" + + + + +The Chinese. + + +THE WATSONVILLE MISSION. + +BY REV. W. C. POND, D.D. + +This work was begun about two years ago as an experiment, the teacher, +Mrs. Martha Ellis, giving her services without expense to us for several +months, till it became apparent that the field was one we ought to +occupy. She is an earnest Christian and is putting her very life-blood +into this service for Christ and the souls he died to save. With her has +been associated from the first Mr. Joe Dun, a most faithful and +efficient helper. He was converted in our Marysville Mission, and has +been a steadfast Christian for many years. He accepts less than half pay +in these times of straitness, and tries to eke out a support for himself +and those dependent upon him by attention to business in a small and, I +fear, far from lucrative way, but gives his _heart_ to mission work. I +feel guilty every time I make a remittance to Watsonville because the +pittance we allow him is so small as compared with the work he does. But +he and the zealous teacher have other rewards far richer than coin. + +I reached the Mission House at about 2:30 P.M. Mrs. Ellis's +afternoon class of children was just being dismissed. But it seems they +had heard about me, and were glad to come to order again, and get +acquainted with me and let me hear them sing. It was a sight I never +looked upon before, and did not expect to see in California till we had +come much nearer the millennium than I dare think we now are. Nine +children stood in line before me--three of them Americans, three +Chinese, and three Spanish or Mexican. The whole class numbers sixteen, +the absent ones being five Spanish children and two Jewish ones. They +sang for me, with great vigor and quite good harmony, "Jesus Loves Me," +"Precious Jewels," and "At the Cross." Books were not needed. The words +were packed away in their memory, where they will remain to bless--as we +hope and pray--their whole lives. + +After the children had gone, eleven Chinese brethren gathered about +the table to study with me the Confession of Faith and Covenant of +Bethany Church, San Francisco, with reference to being organized into +the BETHANY CHURCH OF WATSONVILLE. About three hours I spent with them +holding them to close study of that which they would profess and +promise if they were united in Church relationship. They were of +various ages and various grades of intelligence, but I felt that +Christ had refused none of them, and I must not do so. Hum Quong was +converted in Marysville five years before, but had not till now had +opportunity--since he was sufficiently confirmed in his discipleship +to do so--to offer himself for baptism. He had become well versed in +Christian truth, and was able to interpret for me, and to assist his +brethren, almost as well as Joe Dun himself. The others were, all of +them, the fruit of our Watsonville work. One had been in California 25 +years, but had attended mission-school nowhere except in Watsonville. +He was a substantial looking man, a good miniature of a New England +deacon of the old school but for his complexion and attire. I was +rather pleased--having made such reflections silently--to hear him +nominated by several voices and to see him unanimously elected their +only deacon. His name is Ng Kite. + +It was a scene that interested the angels, I am sure, when in our rude +little mission-house, in the presence of a goodly company both of +Chinese and Americans, those twelve disciples stood together, hand in +hand, and accepted their confession and covenant. Eleven were Chinese; +one, their teacher, was an American. Ten were baptized--the largest +number of Chinese that I have ever baptized at one time. + +Some, at least, of the village pastors, and a large company of other +Christians--too large for our limited space--would have been with us but +for the fact that Union Evangelistic services were in progress and they +felt it necessary to attend and take part in them. + +Is it not worth while to maintain in vigor a work like this? + + +SANTA CRUZ MISSION. + +Of this mission Dr. Pond writes: I give you an opportunity to share my +joy by inclosing the letter from Mrs. Hall, our teacher at Santa Cruz. +She has been for three months teaching a class of Japanese after her +teaching in the Chinese school is ended; that is after nine o'clock in +the evening--often not beginning till nearly ten. The two schools are +now happily united at our Chinese Mission House: + + LETTER FROM MRS. KATE V. HALL. + + "My heart is filled with gladness this New Year, and I am sure that + the tidings I send you will make you happy also. Four Japanese and + two Chinese have given their hearts to the Lord in the past month; + two Japanese and two Chinese will receive baptism Sunday, and the + other two Japanese will wait till the following Communion, as they + wish to study the Bible more. I am satisfied to have them wait, if + they wish, as I want them to have all doubts cleared away. + + "I will not send a report for the Japanese, as they came into the + Chinese Mission three nights ago. I am so glad they were willing to + attend the Chinese school, as my work at the Chinese Mission is + growing each night, and often when I reached the Japanese school I + was so hoarse I could hardly speak, so now, by remaining a half hour + later, I will be able to do the same amount of work without hurrying + so. I feel that the Lord has fully repaid me for my labor at the + Japanese school." + + + + +WOMAN'S STATE ORGANIZATIONS + + +MAINE. + +WOMAN'S AID TO A. M.

"Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be +used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who +agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few +things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works +even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See +paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project +Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement +and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. See paragraph 1.E below. + +1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation" +or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project +Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Nearly all the individual works in the +collection are in the public domain in the United States. If an +individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are +located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from +copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative +works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg +are removed. Of course, we hope that you will support the Project +Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by +freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of +this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with +the work. You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by +keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project +Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others. + +1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern +what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in +a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States, check +the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement +before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or +creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project +Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no representations concerning +the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United +States. + +1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg: + +1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate +access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently +whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the +phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project +Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed, +copied or distributed: + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived +from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is +posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied +and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees +or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work +with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the +work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1 +through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the +Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or +1.E.9. + +1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted +with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution +must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional +terms imposed by the copyright holder.

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 http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://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 checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5.
