The will should be attested by three witnesses. + + * * * * * + +THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY. + +VOL. LII. JUNE, 1898. NO. 2. + + * * * * * + +THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT. + + +The outlook for the American Missionary Association while hopeful, yet +appeals most earnestly for increased contributions. The debt has been +steadily reduced. At the Annual Meeting in 1895, it was reported to be +$96,147. At the Annual Meeting in 1896 it was $66,572. At the last +Annual Meeting it was $54,945, and now at the close of eight months of +this fiscal year, May 31st, it is $39,527--a reduction from the +highest figure above of $56,620. This reduction is largely due to the +cutting down of expenditures, which has now reached a limit beyond +which no friends of these needy races would wish it to pass. For these +last eight months the total receipts show an increase of $25,800 in +legacies, and at the same time a decrease of $22,800 in collections. + +In view of these facts the duty is plain. Further reductions should +not be made. The income from legacies is an uncertain quantity, and an +increase of contributions is the only hope that can be given. Better +times are coming, the responsibility to the poor of our land is +urgent, and the generous response of philanthropic and Christian +givers alone can meet the emergency. + + * * * * * + +SUCCESS IS COSTLY. + + +When the early Abolitionists entered upon their contest against +slavery, they found that they had no holiday business on hand. Some +faltered, but others grew stronger as they realized the greatness of +the conflict before them. They saw that their warfare would cost much +in reputation, money, and even life itself. They succeeded, but only +because they were willing to pay the cost. + +When the next form of the conflict came--the terrible Civil War--the +cost was so great as to be without a parallel in human history. That +great cost was paid and success was won--a crowning success that +could only come because the full cost was paid. And now the third part +of the struggle confronts us--the redemption of the millions of blacks +still in the bondage of poverty, ignorance and vice. This is the +culmination of these past conflicts. If this be not successful, the +rest has been in part in vain. Four millions of slaves were freed, and +now four millions of their descendants are as helpless and hopeless as +they--as great a curse to themselves and as dangerous an element to +the nation. Now this great and crowning struggle is upon us. Other +interests may for a time hide it from view, but it must be met, and +here again, only that which costs will win. It is to be hoped that +prosperity will return and make it easier to raise the needed funds. +But continued depression will not hinder, for, as in the past, so +here, self-denial and self-sacrifice will bear the burden which God +has imposed, and the result will be success. Our appeal, therefore, +for aid in this great conflict is not based on a mere hope of a better +financial outlook in the nation, but on the consecration and +benevolence of those who are ready to win a success that costs. + + * * * * * + +WAR AND ITS RESULTS. + + +If war is simply to kill people and destroy property, it is an unmixed +calamity. But often there are great and valuable results. Our War of +Independence gave birth to this nation and to its amazing +possibilities. The civil war confirmed the unity of the nation and +wiped away the blot and curse of slavery. The present war with Spain +is waged for the humane purpose of delivering Cuba, our near neighbor, +from manifold forms of oppression, crippling its life, hindering its +industries and impoverishing its people. It is earnestly to be hoped +that the results of the struggle will secure deliverance from these +evils. + +Other blessings are already beginning to be realized. The war unites +the North and the South as they have not been for thirty years. Our +diverse peoples are united in enthusiasm under a common flag. The +colored people of the country invited to join the armies are yet in +some portions of the country received coldly or even with taunts and +abuse. But they bear it all cheerfully, devoting themselves to the +interests of our common country. Two brief extracts from papers edited +and published by colored men give evidence of their patriotism and +forbearance under these trials. + +From the _Fisk Herald_, Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn.: + +"The duty of the colored citizens of America in the impending conflict +between our country and Spain is clear, and we are exceedingly glad to +note that they are eager to go to the front to uphold the United +States in its just demands upon Spain for the freedom of Cuba. No +people ought to sympathize more with the oppressed than the negroes of +America." + +From the _Christian Recorder_ of the A. M. E. Church: + +"At all times the colored citizens of this country have proven loyal +to the Government, and while they smart under the unjust treatment +accorded them here, at no time and under no circumstances have they +shown a lack of patriotism when the conditions demand it. + +"In the present crisis the colored citizens are maintaining their past +record for loyalty and devotion, and though our soldiers of color have +been insulted and subjected to great indignities while on their way to +defend their country, still their patriotism is not lessened nor their +ardor cooled." + + * * * * * + +THE COLORED PEOPLES OF CUBA. + + +We understand that about a half a million of the people of Cuba are +Negro or mulatto, making nearly one-third of the population, and we +learn that there is no such race antagonism between these Negroes and +the Creoles as there is with us. The Maceos, who are among the finest +specimens of patriotic manhood on the island, are mulattoes. If now, +Cuba should be made free and become a part of these United States, +these colored people would claim the sympathies and services of the +American Missionary Association in giving to them those educational +and religious advantages so promptly and freely given to the +emancipated blacks of our own land. Such a service would bind these +two peoples together and aid in uplifting both to the intelligence and +privileges of free Christian citizens. + + * * * * * + +MISSIONARIES MURDERED IN WEST AFRICA. + + +It is with heartfelt sorrow that we chronicle the murder of six +missionaries in West Africa. They were sent by the Society of United +Brethren in Christ, whose central office is in Dayton, O., and which +has for many years carried forward very successful work in the Sherbro +country, Sierra Leone, West Africa. This mission was contiguous to the +Mendi Mission, founded by the A. M. A., and worked with it in +Christian harmony and fellowship. When the Association retired from +foreign mission work, the Mendi Mission was turned over to the Sherbro +Mission, and aid was furnished for a time with funds from our board. + +The slaughter of these devoted missionaries was brought about in +consequence of a tax on houses or huts imposed by the Sierra Leone +government. The savage people in the remoter districts pushed forward +a resistance to this tax, and, confounding all white men and women +together as responsible, committed these murders and destroyed mission +property. Redress may come for property destroyed and other +missionaries may take the place of those who have fallen, but we mourn +for those who have been martyrs in the cause of the Master. + + * * * * * + +WORKING, THINKING, WRITING. + + +To _print_ a newspaper, though it be a small one, requires dexterous +hand work. To _publish_ such a paper demands business gifts to secure +means and to plan the work. To _edit_ such a paper calls for readable +and racy writing. Few forms of business require a greater variety of +manual, skilful and facile ability. For these reasons we are glad to +find that in nearly all our larger schools in the South, monthly +papers are printed and published--with little or no expense to the +Association. The printing office teaches a useful and profitable trade +to the student, the editing is usually done by the professors and +students, and the publishing is managed so that by the aid of +advertising and paid subscriptions, the expense is mainly met. These +periodicals contain much valuable information. The professors +contribute well-written papers, the students furnish articles or +copies of orations or essays delivered on public occasions, and the +graduates write sketches of their life struggles and successes since +leaving the institutions. Well selected items from the world outside +enrich these pages, and brief, personal paragraphs give varied and +useful local information. We present below a partial list of these +publications, giving their name, place of publication, size, etc. + +THE FISK HERALD, published by the literary societies of Fisk +University, Nashville, Tenn., is a pamphlet of 24 pages, with an +editor-in-chief and assistants selected from the students. The price +is 75 cts. a year. + +THE OLIO is published by the printing department of Straight +University, New Orleans, La. This also is a pamphlet, of 20 pages. +Price, 25 cts. a year. + +TALLADEGA COLLEGE RECORD, published by the printing department of +Talladega College, Talladega, Ala., is a four page sheet well printed, +edited by students appointed for the purpose. + +TOUGALOO NEWS.

BEARD. + + +It is my lot on the routes of less frequented travel to fall in with a +class of my fellowmen distinctively known as "Commercial men." It is +their business to be both inquisitive and communicative. While waiting +at some little tavern or railroad station often the right hand of +fellowship has been extended to me with the question "What is your +line?" or "I see you have no trunks, how do you carry your samples?" +They do not always quite understand "our line" when I tell them that +our samples have learned to carry themselves and even to carry others. +Then I am called to explain how they began their intelligent life with +us, how we took the raw material and in process of time sent out our +products from our schools and institutions with their thought of life +widened, with enlarged mental vision and the great majority of them +with hopeful religious characters and purposes. Sometimes these fellow +travelers hear, and sometimes I marvel because of their unbelief. If +our readers could see our samples as we see them in their varied +vocations and places they would not soon forget them. + +Not long since in Alabama I came across certain ones which are types; +and as types I present them. The environment which conditions their +work and gives the color of it must needs be included. Situated among +the hills of Eastern Alabama is a thickly settled community of people +about two-thirds of whom are colored. It is in the County of Elmore, +and bears the Indian name of Kowaliga. Being near the corner of two +adjoining counties, it is a rural centre from which large numbers of +children can be reached who ought to be educated, and who are anxious +to "get an education" as their one chance in life, a chance which so +far has been beyond them. + +Kowaliga settlement is remote from any railroad and consists wholly of +plantations. These plantations were formerly tilled by slaves, but +since freedom came to those who gave their unrequited labor, the rich +white planters have become poor and many of their sons now may be seen +themselves following their plows, tilling the fields and driving mules +instead of men. The country is fertile and repays intelligent tillage. + +The American Missionary Association has been applied to repeatedly for +help in this settlement of Kowaliga. Under the lead of two young +college graduates, both of whom I had met while they were students at +Fisk University, the colored people with great sacrifice had +contributed building material and labor in the construction of a very +substantial two-story building with attic and basement, which, +however, is yet incomplete and unfurnished. The people with few +exceptions, are extremely poor and very ignorant, and have an +imperfect idea of what a school means with its proper appointments and +teachers. + +[Illustration: KOWALIGA INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.] + +In answer to the most urgent appeals of the two young educators, I +arranged in my recent journeying in the South for a personal +investigation. One of the former student acquaintances came for me in +his "one horse shay" and with him as my courier and companion I rode +through this rural district. I found that the white farmers are +gradually leaving their plantations while the colored people are as +gradually becoming land owners. Abandoned farms, which through poor +culture have not paid the farmers for cultivation, can easily be +secured by industrious colored people who are willing to deny +themselves and work hard for an independent start in life. + +The father of the young man whom I accompanied on my long ride through +the country is one of these who has already won his success. His +experience and achievement are typical in illustrating the trends and +the probabilities. + +Mr. J. A. Benson--at this present time forty-six years of age--was +born a slave three miles from the great plantation which he now owns. +When his owner's estate was divided he was a part of the property +which fell to an heir in Talladega, Alabama. There as property he was +sent, and there he worked as a slave until emancipation came. At the +age of nineteen years, with a hundred dollars saved from his earnings +as a free man he returned to his birthplace and purchased on credit +160 acres of land. His first year of crops gave him a handsome profit +and soon he was able to pay for this land. Again he bought land, and +again more year by year. Now I found him with his new house of twelve +rooms nearly completed on the site of his old one, the construction of +which was under the direction of a Negro contractor whose leading +workman was a white man; a native of that same community. The mason +who did the masonry was also a Southern white man. While engaged on +this "job" both white men ate at the same table with the owner. In the +"Merchant of Venice" we read of one who said, "I will buy with you, +sell with you, talk with you, walk with you and so following, but I +will not eat with you." Nevertheless there are times when "Necessity +knows no law" and this was one of the times. It was the common +opinion, however, that the excellent mason was much more expeditious +than is common about his job, though he was working by the day. His +work was completed in about one-half the usual time allowed for it. He +stayed, not upon the order of his going. Doubtless a second experience +would come with less self conquest than the first. + +Mr. Benson began his independent life with his unpaid farm of 160 +acres. Now he owns 3,000 acres of land paid for and without +encumbrance, with the virtual ownership of a fine stream, at some +points 500 feet wide, which for five miles runs through his extensive +plantations. On this stream he has a brick yard, a saw mill, a grist +mill and a cotton gin and compressing mill combined in one and +operated by the water of this stream. The farm is worked on shares +chiefly, the owner furnishing the land and the stock, the laborers +dividing the products half and half. + +[Illustration: KOWALIGA CREEK--THROUGH MR. BENSON'S PLANTATIONS.] + +The leases are taken by a dozen responsible and experienced farmers, +who sub-contract with the laborers under their immediate supervision. +Of the 3,000 acres, one-half is devoted to corn, cotton, cane, etc.; +500 are used for pasturage and 1,000 furnish ample supply of pine, oak +and hickory timber for the greedy teeth of his saw mill and the +willing embrace of his planing mill. He has cows, cattle, mules, +horses, barns and farm implements to meet all necessities. His teams +go regularly to Montgomery markets and return with stores for the +forty families who live upon his lands and work them, and for the +community who purchase of him what things they have. Besides his +possessions in land, Mr. Benson has been able to loan to his white +neighbors some $6,000, which are secured by mortgages upon their +farms. They are running behind and he is running ahead. While I was +the guest of this man, opposite me at the table dined a white man who +was engaged on the carpentry of the new house. He was a native +Southerner but he showed no evidence of social injury, and if he did +his carpentry work as thoroughly as he did that of the table he +certainly earned his wages. + +Mr. Benson has managed with his uncommon ability to pick up education +enough to achieve and handle successfully and shrewdly these large +interests; not only to know their details but also to realize their +significance and somewhat of the larger world beyond his own +dominions. The success of this self-made colored man may be somewhat +exceptional in degree, but it is not at all phenomenal. The story with +the variations of personality and place could be told a hundred times +over among the colored people who began thirty years ago without a +foot of land or a dollar of money. + +Among the colored people in this rural community this man is one. For +the most part life has gone on for the others without much +advancement. They have not been left without a certain kind of school +for their children taught for three months out of twelve chiefly by +students who are themselves getting an education in institutions +sustained by Northern benevolence; but the teaching has been without +continuity and insufficient to make much impress on character. This +far-seeing colored man realized this, and his own influence in life +might have been greater if chances had come to him in his earlier +days. He has, therefore, given his son a liberal education at college +and has daughters now in the same path. + +When the young man returned from his studies with Christian love in +his heart to assist his father in business he took in the situation +that there must be a school here commensurate with the needs, where +the colored boys and girls might receive the blessings of an education +large and thorough enough and of such a positive Christian quality as +should change the life of the community. In some aspects it sadly +needs radical change. + +He called to his side one of his mates at Fisk University--a graduate +of the college department--under the conviction that for such work as +this there was a call for a thorough as well as a technical education; +that there must be breadth of mental knowledge and mental vision as +well as skill of hand. The young college man with his diploma in his +pocket heard the call, as scores of samples from our institutions in +our great system of schools are hearing theirs every year; and when +once there these two young men began what is to be the KOWALIGA +ACADEMIC AND INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL. They each had taken industrial +training enough with their studies to know what they were about. They +sought good counsel from others and thus the main school building was +begun. Mr. Benson, the father, furnished a sufficient allotment of +land for the site, the timber and the lumber which his mills sawed and +planed, and which his teams carted. The Samples supervised and the +young people and old wrought with their own hands. Generous friends +from the North lent their names to the undertaking and from and +through them contributions came in amounts sufficient to encourage but +not large enough to complete. From these were named an advisory board +of friends who with an equal number of colored people in the +neighborhood were called trustees. + +These are the conditions in which I introduce our Samples. It was at +this stage of the proceedings when these children of the American +Missionary Association called to us for the second and third time, +"Come over and help us." We came, we saw, and they conquered. How +could we do other than honor their faith and patience with our "watch +and care," and with a little faith on our part that help enough would +come to us to make their own helpfulness successful. Here in the +darkness these light bearers will give light and save life and they +will do this better because light has been given to them and they +themselves have been saved. + +[Illustration: PROF. T. S. INBORDEN. + +Principal Joseph K. Brick Normal, Agricultural and Industrial School +at Enfield, N. C.--A. M. A.--born a slave. Struggled up through +poverty, educated himself by teaching vacations and working his way. +Was graduated from Fisk University. A Sample.] + +I have given this story of Samples because it is our latest. Our +picture would be out of perspective, however, should it lead any to +the conclusion that this typical illustration of conditions and work +is other than a sample in itself. Let it be known that this is what is +going on in the work of the American Missionary Association constantly +year by year, every year, as it reduplicates itself in every State of +the South. + +Above ten thousand of these Samples are examples. They have taken the +torches lighted at our fires and have borne the light of their +knowledge on to others in darkness. They are doing it this year. They +will do it next year. There are entire counties in the South in which +our schools have supplied nine-tenths of all the colored teachers. +These teachers, graduates of Normal Schools and higher institutions, +are good samples, making full proof of their enlarged powers in the +Christian upbuilding of their own race. The man who thinks leads. + +Samples, also, in strong ministers of Christ, good and true, who are +in "our line," planting little churches and developing little churches +into larger ones, bringing dependent churches forward into +self-support, and leading the colored people out and away from +old-time superstition and evil ways into the pure life of intelligent +faith. + +[Illustration: PROF. JAMES L. MURRAY. + +Born a slave. Educated by his own endeavors. Taught his way through +College. Was graduated at Fisk University. Principal of the Albany +Normal School, A. M. A. A Sample.] + +In the more conspicuous places of life we find our Samples. Some of +their "examples" are already on the shelves of science in our +libraries, and are hanging in honor in the galleries of art. Not a few +of our graduates fill Professors' chairs. Many are already teachers of +teachers. They believe that the Negro has intellect as well as hands. +They believe in the development of manhood and womanhood along all +lines, and do not believe that an elementary education for an +elementary people is enough to save a race. They have been taught in +our schools that our thought of education is that the knowledge which +is of most worth "is that which stands in closet relation to the +highest forms of the activity of the spirit created in the image of +Him who holds nature and man and life alike in the hollow of His +hand." Our idea of the educational process is that it is vital and not +merely technical; that it is indeed but another name for the unfolding +and growth of the human spirit. It has not, therefore, been along a +single line of material helpfulness, and its ends are not reached with +mere technical skill. + +Our supreme purpose is "to give light and to save life," but we have +never tried to save disembodied spirits. We have written Christianity +large over and in all of our work in the school rooms, in the manual +training shops, in the farm instruction, because we are sure there is +no recuperative energy in the colored race, nor in any other, +sufficient to save itself. There is nothing so practical to uplift men +or races as Christianity. Said Archdeacon Tiffany the other day at +Yale, "A prevailing idea is, to create an environment is to develop +Christian life. Put people in the right places and they will be all +right, a statement, however, which experience has denied from the +Garden of Eden until now. Environment is a great factor but it does +not furnish the life impulse. Recognize the help of environment but do +not depend on it. How often environment does not make character but +may retard it." Our work strikes its roots far deeper than in +externals. Nevertheless, Christianity assumes intelligence and depends +upon it. With Christian character and intelligence we hear the call +for technical skill and provide for it in our industrial annexes side +by side with our work in mental development. Hence you will find the +Samples "in our line" as easily as a commercial traveler finds the +stores which handle his goods. + +[Illustration: INDUSTRIAL ROOM, ORANGE PARK, FLA. A SAMPLE.] + +We have industrial samples also in educated farmers, architects, +carpenters, masons, contractors, merchants and bankers, who in the +industrial competitions of life are proving the mettle of their +pasture in the fields where they were fed and trained. While we were +teaching them first of all to be larger and better in mind, stronger +in heart and will, teaching them to have a large and intelligent faith +in God, and an honest following of Christ, we have taught them at the +same time how to till the soil wisely, how to excel in the trades, how +to keep their accounts accurately and how to have accounts to keep. We +would like to have the great American Missionary Association +constituency see these samples as we have seen them and do see them, +not alone in pulpits, in schools and on farms and in trades, but also +in commercial life and in places of extended influence. We should like +to show our Samples in their Christian homes, homes which are not made +of brick and mortar and boards and shingles, but which are only +sheltered by these; homes where there is educated intelligence, where +there are books and thoughtful minds that can appreciate them; homes +where there is refinement, and where samples are examples of exalted +life which in itself stimulates and uplifts life all around--these are +centres of untold good. The light streams out from them day by day. +They are the leaven of a rising race. I go not anywhere in towns or in +rural places in any Southern state where I fail to find such samples +and examples which in their various ways are thus holding forth the +word of life and justifying the farsighted wisdom and benevolence +which planted the system of American Missionary schools upon "our +line" and which in sustaining them is building up the Kingdom of God +on the Master's line as it builds up thousands of men and women +towards the mind and heart of God. + +[Illustration: COLLEGE GRADUATES. SAMPLES.] + +[Illustration: SMALL SAMPLES, _En Route_ TO THE TWENTIETH CENTURY.] + +The little people pictured above are "children's children." Parents +who came under our care thirty years ago, but one remove from all that +was wrapped up in hopeless slavery, can now give their children better +chances than they themselves could secure in the early days of +freedom. In our great system of schools one may look into thousands of +such earnest faces turned inquiringly toward the twentieth century. +What the coming days shall hold for them and through them for the +kingdom of Christ is in good part to be answered in positive Christian +schools, where character building is made the supreme foundation for +future homes and opportunities. These "children's children" began +their climbing on a higher round than did their parents, and there are +more of them to climb-- + + "More and more, more and more, + Still there's more to follow." + + * * * * * + +COMMENCEMENT AT STRAIGHT UNIVERSITY, LA. + +BY REV. G. W. HENDERSON, D.D. + + +Our school year, which closed May 25, has been crucial in many +respects. It has tested the attachment of the scholars to the school +on one hand, and their desire for an education and the willingness of +themselves and of their parents to make sacrifices to this end on the +other; for the fever and the rigid quarantine delayed the opening in +the fall, paralyzed business, and made it difficult for parents and +students to earn the means not only to meet school expenses, but even +to obtain the ordinary comforts of life. But, notwithstanding these +discouragements, our old scholars remained loyal and patiently awaited +the opening, and the attendance has been good--that in the higher +grades coming up to the average figure. How much solicitude, earnest +planning and brave self-sacrifice all this involved no one who has not +lived in the midst of the people can realize; no one but the +All-Knowing can understand. + +The list of our various exercises is somewhat long, yet each +represents some special department of our work, or is a manifestation +of some special form of its manifold activities, and for this reason +cannot fail to be of interest to our readers. + +Junior Exhibition, May 4, was the first exercise on the program; two +weeks later came the Recital by the Department of Instrumental Music. +The Address, Sunday morning, May 22d, to the Christian Associations by +Rev. J. M. Loring, D.D., of this city, and the Baccalaureate, Sunday +night, by President Atwood, were both greatly enjoyed by the large +audiences that came to hear. + +A feature of growing power and usefulness is the Sumner and Alpha +Literary Societies, whose anniversary is always an occasion of great +interest. The able and eloquent address this year was given by Rev. L. +H. Reynolds, D.D., the successful pastor of the leading African +Methodist Church in this city. He made his auditors feel that, though +their lot had many hardships, it also had many compensating +advantages, and that to the educated and consecrated youth of the race +the field for usefulness and distinction was large and inviting. + +The Class Day Exercise, Monday night, came up in point of interest and +attraction to the usual high standard. The Grammar Department had the +right of way Tuesday 1 P. M. Certificates admitting them to the Normal +and College Preparatory Departments were given to forty-two bright +boys and girls. And truly, the boys in their neat fitting suits and +the girls in their white gowns presented a beautiful sight. The +history of their efforts to reach this landmark in their educational +life is full of pathos and romance. Observe that girl sitting yonder +on the right. Her happy face glows with the interest of the occasion; +her dress is neat and cleanly. Yet that girl left the washroom or +laundry when she came to school this morning, and will return to it +when the school day closes. Back from the street and enclosed by +larger buildings and shut out from the blessed sunlight and pure air +is the house she calls her home. She is the oldest of five or six +children. The hard worked mother, who seldom leaves the wash-tub +except to retire to her weary couch, is only able to keep this girl in +school by the most rigid economy and self-denial, and when she has +finished her course, then by her help the others may have a chance. + +This is one of many cases which the kind and faithful teacher has +discovered among her scholars. The lesson of it is that the race which +has such mothers, so patient, so self-sacrificing, is sure to rise, +and is worth taking some stock in by the friends of Christian +missions; nor need we be surprised to learn that out of a colored +voting population of 120,000 in Louisiana, nearly 39,000 have acquired +within thirty-five years the ability to read and write. + +The Alumni Association held their annual meeting Tuesday night and +listened to a bright oration by Miss Annie Feyer, class '97. + +And now let us look at the last scene in this drama of the closing +year at Central Church. It is the old story--old yet new and fresh in +its human element and its deep significance--of a packed house, and of +an attention so fixed and earnest that naught is heard during the +delivery of the pieces, though hundreds are standing, save the beating +of fifteen hundred fans against the warm air, and the clear +enunciation of the speakers, and the hearty, yet discriminating +applause. + +The various subjects treated reveal, as usual, interesting traits in +the characters of the speakers, some breathing aspirations after a +larger liberty, and a more rational conception of it, some revealing a +deep consciousness of life's noble obligations and splendid +opportunities, some insisting on independence of mind as the basis of +true manhood. The graduate from the department of theology pleaded for +character in the ministry to the manifest satisfaction of the +audience. Here and there were heard echoes of the troubled past, some +sensitiveness to present hardships was manifested, but the prevailing +tone was a willingness to take hold of life bravely and seriously, to +redress the wrong and to glorify the right. + +In beholding these ten graduates--six from the normal course, three +from the college preparatory and one from the theological--one could +not but compare the present with the not distant past, and rejoice in +the compensations of prudence. The proud father of one of the girls +who sat in the audience was once the body servant of Jefferson Davis. +The mother of one of the boys who acquitted himself with more than +usual ability came forward at the close of the exercises and looked +him in the face for several moments, too utterly happy to speak a +word. + +The exhibits of the industrial department as well as the work of the +grades, notwithstanding the shortness of the year, showed no sacrifice +of quality. + +Thus, in spite of many adverse circumstances, the year has been one of +signal blessing in all the departments; the religious life was never +sweeter or more earnest, the school was never more thoroughly +dominated by Christian motives and principles. President Atwood may +justly felicitate himself and his co-workers upon the good results +obtained. + + * * * * * + +COMMENCEMENT AT TOUGALOO UNIVERSITY, MISS. + +BY PRESIDENT FRANK G. WOODWORTH, D.D. + + +The commencement exercises on May 19th closed one of the most +memorable years in the history of the institution. Quarantine delayed +the opening of the year until November 23d, and on the next night the +girls' dormitory was destroyed by fire. These two things greatly +reduced the attendance, and of course the fire entailed a great many +inconveniences. The school has gone bravely on, however, and the year +is now looked back upon as one of the most satisfactory in work and +general results that has been seen. Students and teachers have labored +with unusual diligence, crowding nearly the full work of the usual +school year into six months. + +The year has been signalized by having a Freshman class, the first to +enter on college work. Four students have successfully completed the +year, and another class of the same size or larger is expected for +next year. + +The president preached the Baccalaureate sermon from Gen. 5:24. All +the graduates are Christians; all but two of the Academy, and +three-fourths of the grammar pupils of the year have been Christians. + +The annual concert always attracts much attention, and it has been a +problem what to do with the large crowds who attend. This year a +complimentary rehearsal was given on Monday evening to which friends +from Jackson were invited, a special train coming out on their behalf. +On Wednesday evening was the regular concert, and the room was again +crowded. A general program of fine selections was rendered, followed +by Rheinberger's "Clarice of Eberstein." Tougaloo's musical work is of +the highest order. At the graduating exercises on Thursday, nine young +people received diplomas of graduation from the Academy courses, five +of them young women. Four of the class expect to return for college +work, one to go on to college elsewhere, one to study medicine, one is +taking nurse training in a Chicago hospital, and the others expect to +teach. The spirit in which they go out is exemplified in the answer +made by one of them to the question, "What will you do if you fail to +get a school to teach this summer?" "Do what I can find. Dig, if need +be." A very similar answer was given by one of the most advanced young +women, except she said "Hoe corn or cotton" instead of "dig." The +higher education will hurt none who have that spirit. + +The annual address was delivered by President Barrett of the Jackson +College, and was a most helpful and stimulating utterance on the +"Value of Purpose." Brief addresses were made by prominent visitors, +among them several pastors of the white churches in Jackson, the +principal of the city schools, and Col. Charles E. Hooker, for many +years congressman from this district. His address was specially +interesting in the strong feeling of sympathy which it exhibited for +the work of Tougaloo and similar schools, coming as it did from a +public man of such prominence, of a slave-holding family and himself a +former slave owner. + +The industrial exhibit in one of the school rooms attracted very large +attention. It covered needle work, cookery, nurse-training, wood and +iron work, agriculture, and there was also a fine botanical exhibit. +While the manual training work has always made a fine appearance, it +was felt that this exhibit surpassed all that had preceded it. The +steel tools, made and tempered by students, were specially admired. + +It was matter of special gratulation that the work of excavation for +the foundation of the new dormitory, delayed because the Association +builder was elsewhere occupied, was well advanced. It is hoped that +the building will be nearing completion when the term begins on +September 28th next. + +It is sometimes said that colored students show little gratitude for +what aid is given to them. Many instances to the contrary are +continually occurring. One of the graduates of this year, a young +woman, left a note for the president to be read by him after she had +gone, which shows so much in several ways that a portion of it may +well be quoted here. "Since I have been coming to Tougaloo, I have had +quite a little help. Although it was a blessing from God, you are the +agent through whom it came. These few lines are to let you know that I +appreciate and thank you for your kindness. I haven't gained as much +as I would like to have done, yet I have this consolation, and it may +be encouraging to you, that I got as much as I could mentally, +physically and spiritually. Since my connection with this school, my +knowledge has been increased, false ideas have been corrected, truths +have been established, life broadened, desires multiplied, faith in +Christ increased, and I have been enabled to advance a few steps +toward my ideal. My greatest desire is to do as much for Christ as I +may among my fellow men." Who could show better results of education? +Does not aiding such a student pay? + + * * * * * + +DORCHESTER ACADEMY, MCINTOSH, GA. + +BY PROF. FREDERICK W. FOSTER. + + +The beginning of our Commencement Exercises occurred on Sunday +morning, May 15, when Rev. J. R. McLean, of Macon, preached an able +and instructive sermon to our graduating class. The speaker made very +apt and telling application of his subject, which, while especially +directed to the graduates, was good for all. + +The examinations in the various grades took place on Wednesday, 18th, +lasting through the day. They gave evidence of good, thorough work on +the part of pupils and teachers, and that our school is moving upward +all along the line. Much interest was manifested in the recitations +and discussions by patrons and visiting friends. Although many of our +visitors were unlettered people, they showed that they could keenly +appreciate whatever they saw that was good. + +A fine display of boys' and girls' clothing and quilts gave proof of +the diligence of teacher and pupils in the sewing and dressmaking +department, and of the progress made in that line both in the present +and past years. A display of household furniture, including tables, +stands, wash-stands, a side-board, hat racks and towel racks, showed +what our boys' manual teacher and his boys have been doing. To this +should be added a neat fence, built by the boys in the lower grades. +The neatness and thoroughness of the work on the furniture greatly +exceeds that of the same grade from a manufactory. + +But our day of days came on Thursday, when a large audience from +various parts of Southeastern Georgia assembled at our church to +witness the exercises of graduation. Although this is only our third +exercise of this kind, it has already become one of the great annual +events of Liberty and neighboring counties. Notwithstanding the heat +of the day and the dust, the church was packed by an audience of at +least six hundred. In thought, force and plainness of expression and +delivery, the orations of the young men were well up toward +"high-water mark." The subjects chosen were eminently of a practical +nature, and were treated in a very practical and forceful way that +went right home to the understanding and appreciation of the hearers, +as was manifested by the close attention that was evident on every +hand. The music for the occasion was furnished by the Normal +department, assisted by the grammar grades, and consisted of +well-drilled choruses, a duet and a solo. The exercises closed with an +appropriate address by the pastor, Rev. A. L. DeMond, and the +presentation of the well-earned diplomas. + +It should have been mentioned that, on Tuesday evening, a reception +was given by the teachers to the members of the graduating class and +the alumni, furnishing a very pleasant social occasion. On Thursday +afternoon, the alumni of the school organized and held its first +meeting, consisting of literary exercises; and in the evening gave a +reception to the teachers at a neighboring house, thus giving a +pleasant ending to the school year of 1897-8. + +It has been a busy week and one filled with hard work, and moreover, +such work as could not have been possible a very few years ago. A +diploma received now by a graduate means the completion of a +four-years' Normal course, and the work satisfactorily done. + + * * * * * + +COLORED TEACHERS IN THE SOUTH. + +BY PROF. A. J. STEELE, MEMPHIS, TENN. + + +A full generation has passed since the emancipation of the slaves in +the United States and since the avenues of knowledge were thrown open +to the colored people through the doors of the school house. During +this time portions of three generations, parents, children and +grand-children, literally "Children's children to the third +generation," have, to a greater or less extent, availed themselves of +the tuition of the schools. + +[Illustration: CHILDREN'S CHILDREN.] + +During the first decade, and in regularly decreasing ratio since, the +most difficult problem has been how to provide competent teachers for +the instruction of a race crowding and hungry for knowledge. +Fortunately, perhaps, in the long view, the teaching of colored youth +has never, from the first, in the South, been considered a popular +calling, and so the work has in the main devolved upon the colored +people themselves, a work to which, for years, from almost entire lack +of opportunity for training, they could bring but the scantiest +preparation and even less experience. + +No more interesting or suggestive study could be undertaken than that, +of tracing the progress of the colored teachers of a race so recently +emancipated, as they have advanced in literary, mental and moral +fitness for a work thrust upon them by the exigencies of the +situation. + +Reference to the tables of statistics compiled by the Commissioner of +Education for 1895-6 shows how well the race is meeting the demand for +teachers in its schools, everywhere in the South kept separate from +the public schools for white children. For the year above mentioned +there were employed 26,499 colored teachers, who had under their care +1,429,713 pupils. For the same year there were in the various Normal +Schools for colored people 4,672 students, 966 of whom were graduated; +826 were graduated from high schools and 161 from college courses, +making in all 1,953 graduates from courses of study considered +sufficient in extent to fit more or less thoroughly for the work of +teaching; not to mention the even greater numbers who engage in +teaching before having completed any higher course of training. So +much as to mere numbers. Now, in general, as to the advancement being +made by schools of this class. Without exception, the reports of +school officers give credit for constantly increasing excellency and +proficiency of both schools and teachers, and certain it is, that the +public appreciation and esteem is shown by an increasing patronage and +a more substantial provision for the improvement and support of the +schools. + +In particular, while it is not always safe to draw sweeping +conclusions from facts gathered within a limited area of observation, +it may yet be confidently asserted, that what is true of the schools +and teachers of any fairly representative city or community in the +South, is likely to be measurably true wherever similar conditions and +opportunities prevail. My own direct experience and observation have +had to do with the colored schools and teachers of a single city of +sixty to eighty thousand people, nearly one-half colored, and the +counties and towns adjacent. These I have followed very closely for +over twenty-five years. I can testify positively that there has been a +steady raising of the standards of qualifications and proficiency with +regard both to intellectual and moral attainments among the teachers +of colored schools, and in this I shall be borne out by the testimony +of superintendents and school officers, as well as by all observing +people of these communities. In many cases teachers and schools of +this class have attained an enviable reputation and are often +mentioned as models of excellence in many ways. + +The process of growth here, as elsewhere, has been one of the +"survival of the fittest," the ill-trained, inefficient teachers +gradually giving place to the better qualified, more capable class. +The initial influence in this line of succession dates back but little +more than thirty years, to the founding of "mission" schools at +centres of influence throughout the South; "a handful of corn on the +top of the mountain" from which has come the wide-spreading harvests +of the present. It is a statement well within the facts that nine out +of ten of the colored schools of all grades in the South are taught by +those who had their training in these mission schools, or else by +teachers who owe their education to those of their own race who were +so trained. No more powerful or far-reaching influence was ever set in +operation than that which had its origin in the cabin where taught the +first humble missionary among the people freed by the war. The whole +power and potency of all that has followed was represented in that +first despised and humble effort. + +From that day to this seems a long call. The passage has been made +almost unobserved, like the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven. It now +not unfrequently happens that a colored public school stands +accredited in a community with excellencies to distinguish it as an +example worthy of imitation. Such is the colored high school in the +city of my direct observation, in the two respects of self-control and +government of its pupils, and in its movement toward a collection of +miscellaneous books for a school library--excellencies not ascribed, +so far as I know, in anything like the same measure to any other +public school. It is perhaps needless to add that the principal of +this school, as well as the teachers of a large percentage of the +other best schools of the city and county, have had their training in +one of the "mission" normal schools above mentioned. + +To remove or weaken these centres of power would be to strike the most +deadly blow at the education of the colored people. It would be the +removal of so many nerve centres out from which still flow the stimuli +needful to keep in active operation and growing power the entire +system. + +John F. Slater and Daniel Hand and a hundred other individual +benefactors have seen this vital fact and have done what they could to +build up and strengthen such influences. The church will make a great +mistake if it ignores this fact or relaxes its efforts in the support +of the institutions so wisely planned and so greatly efficient for +good in the past. + + * * * * * + +NOTES. + + +CLOSING EXERCISES AT LE MOYNE.--Le Moyne Normal Institute, Memphis, +Tennessee, closed on the 2nd of June. Not less than 2,500 people +crowded the auditorium at the closing exercises. The large attendance +betokens the influence of the school in the community and the esteem +in which it is held. + +STUDENTS ENLISTING.--Many of the students of our colleges and Normal +Schools have enlisted in the service of their country. From Talladega +College, Alabama, we receive the following: "We send a score of our +choice young men off to the army to-morrow." From Lincoln School, +Meridian, Miss., the Principal writes: "One young man is away in the +interests of his company, of which he is Captain. He wrote, 'This is +the time to show of what clay we are made, and I trust each student +of Lincoln School will prove himself loyal to his country.' Four of +the officers of his company are graduates of Lincoln School." + + * * * * * + +A SKETCH OF THE CAREER OF A STRAIGHT UNIVERSITY GRADUATE. + +BY REV. GEORGE W. HENDERSON, D.D. + + +Among the young colored men who heard the call of God for the +uplifting of their race was Mr. H----, whose home was in Arkansas. +From the first, with him Christian faith meant Christian service, and +he at once became active in church and Sunday-school. Nature was +generous to him in the saving gift of common sense, and he was not +long in perceiving the incompetency of the ministers to whom the +people at that time looked for religious instruction and leadership. + +A fortunate providence brought him into contact with a teacher from +Straight University. The information she gave him of this institution +opened the way to execute the purpose which he had been cherishing for +some time, to fit himself to become a missionary to his people in his +own home. The loss of a leg at this time, through the carelessness of +another, instead of discouraging, strengthened his resolution. +Penniless, like Booker Washington, he set out for this missionary seat +of learning, his only resource, prayer, his only support, hope and +faith. + +One bright morning, this brave Arkansas lad presented himself at +Straight University. Hobbling up the walk to the main building, and +assuming an air of confidence quite in contrast to his internal +emotions, he hailed a passing student in the familiar vocabulary of +the plantation--"Say, Sonny, is the Boss in?" The "Boss" was in, and +on meeting this new candidate for academical honors, quite took away +his breath by addressing him as "Mr." Such courtesy was a surprise and +a revelation to him. That he was somebody in the eyes of heaven was +the gracious revelation of his Christian faith; it now for the first +time dawned upon him that the recognition of his manhood was possible +on earth. + +Eight years of earnest study followed, years full of happiness, +because they were years of progress, of growing religious experience, +of expanding intellectual and spiritual vision. The dream of his +uncared for boyhood was in process of realization. He enjoyed the +confidence of teachers and scholars alike, for he was the soul of +honor, and his word was the word of truth. His vacations were spent in +teaching in the common schools of Louisiana. Success always crowned +his efforts; his schools were usually full to overflowing. He taught +in the Sunday-schools and made himself useful in every form of +Christian service. On one occasion the school house was destroyed by +fire, but nothing daunted, the enthusiastic teacher rallied the +neighbors, and with them and the scholars he went into the woods, +chopped down the trees, hewed the logs, and in a few days replaced the +old building with a better, and the school went on more successfully +than ever. + +And so on till the end of his life, difficulties were faced bravely +and successfully. With the assistance of friends, a cork leg took the +place of the pole which he had lashed to the stump of his lost limb. +After completing the normal course, he took the usual course in +theology. + +On Vermillion Bay, not far from the Gulf Coast, and at the terminus of +a branch of the Southern Pacific Railroad, about twenty miles from +Bayou Teche, the stream that keeps green and beautiful the year round +that section of Louisiana which was first settled by the exiled +Acadians and made famous in Longfellow's "Evangeline," is a thriving +village. In the patois of the country the people are called "Cajians," +a corruption of Acadians. As a rule, they are non-progressive and +ignorant. But the spirit of modern progress, brought in on the +railroad, is putting new life into old customs. + +In this village just waking into its new life, a humble man of faith, +in the year 1885, organized a Congregational church. The organizer of +this new church, having only a limited education, soon found himself +at the end of his resources. The people were still hungry and still +unfed. One plants, another waters. Unknown to the people, and in his +own good way and time, God was preparing to answer their prayer for a +shepherd who could lead them into the green pastures and by the side +of quiet waters. + +The Arkansas lad, proud of the possession of his normal and +theological diplomas, and now ready for service, was sent by the A. M. +A. to this prosperous village in the beautiful Teche country. When Mr. +H. arrived in the fading twilight of a June evening, and looked over +the situation--a rude, unfinished edifice, a scattered congregation, +and a membership that had diminished almost to the vanishing +point--for the first time he began to have serious doubts whether +after all he had not mistaken his calling. After much searching, only +ten or twelve discouraged members could be found. Neither party was +unduly impressed with the other. His doubt that he could do anything +for the church was probably fully respected by the members as they +looked him over and took his measure. The thoughts that came to him +that night as he lay upon his restless and dreamless pillow, were +decidedly Jonah-like. Nor were the means lacking to follow the example +of that ancient prophet. Ships lay at anchor in Vermillion Bay ready +to carry him out into the gulf and the great sea beyond. The question +what he should eat and drink, and wherewithal he should be clothed, +seemed to justify his flight. He was now learning that missionary +service is a fine thing to talk about in prayer meetings and +missionary gatherings, but that the reality often possesses a stern +and forbidding countenance. Nor was much reflection needed to show him +that though the ships might take him away from the place of duty, +they could not take him away from duty itself; that it were better to +bear poverty and privation than to bear a guilty conscience. + +It is always darkest before day. In a few weeks an ordaining council +has assembled, his old pastor and theological teacher being among the +number. The harvest was ripe, waiting for the reapers to put in the +sickle, and what began as ecclesiastical council ended in a gracious +revival. The Arkansas lad was now a minister; the dream of his boyhood +was rapidly fulfilling. + +Three years and a half passed. The field which at first seemed so +barren of promises had proved to be rich in opportunities. The +Louisiana Congregational Association holds its annual meeting with +him. His old pastor sends three other teachers. One of them, the wife +of "the Boss," returns with the other members of the ordaining council +to see what progress has been made. + +Yes, this must be the place; for the railroad stops here, and yonder +is Vermillion Bay, and the anchored ships. This, too, must be the +young pastor; his limp betrays his identity, but the face, whose pure +native hue three years ago was darkened by the cloud of doubt is now +wreathed in smiles. Here, too, is the church, the same, yet not the +same; its former disfigured and unwashed face now shines in a new coat +of paint; the unfinished and leaky bell-tower has been repaired and +beautified; and those old benches, apparently designed for those +condemned to do penance, have been replaced by comfortable modern +seats, so that the worshipper's attention is no longer diverted from +the sermon by the painful consciousness of his physical sufferings. + +But these changes, excellent in themselves, are by no means the +highest test of these years of faithful and consecrated service. The +twelve members with whom the new pastor began, have been nearly +sextupled; the Sunday-school has been organized, enlarged and +developed; a flourishing Christian Endeavor Society started; and right +conceptions of practical righteousness enforced. The pastor's +conception of his ministry includes a practical interest in education, +and since his advent an increasing stream of young people has been +flowing to Straight University. Thrifty himself, his contagious +enthusiasm has not only affected his own flock, but the community +generally, filling them with ambition to save their humble earnings, +and become owners of their own homes, and send their children to +school. + +The esteem in which Mr. H. is held by the best white people of the +town was well illustrated at the recent meeting of the State +Association. They not only crowded into the church, filling every +available space for standing, but stood outside at the windows for +hours in earnest attention, in the chilly night air. So great had +their interest become that the last night of the Association, one +white man offered the pastor any price for a reserved seat for himself +and lady friends, and the town representative wrote him a polite note +asking for a seat for himself and family, and the next day the white +people offered to procure the courthouse, that we might have a larger +place for our meeting. + +Newspapers and magazines are teeming, nowadays, with articles claiming +that our people's supreme need is industrially trained men to indicate +the road to prosperity. We gladly concede that there is need enough +and room enough for such men, but we part company with these advocates +when they intimate that we have too many liberally educated men. The +value of such well educated men may be seen in the example of Mr. H., +who is only one of many young men who have gone forth from Straight +University and other A. M. A. institutions. + + * * * * * + +ITEMS. + + +PENALTY FOR LYNCHING.--The Legislature of Ohio has passed the +Anti-Lynching amendment which makes it possible for the heirs of a +person lynched to sue the county in which the crime is committed for +from $500 to $5,000. This is the right way to do. Every state in the +Union ought to be made to pay either one of these amounts. Why not let +us agitate on these lines. The government can never find the +offenders, but under this law they can find the county.--_The +Conservator of Chicago._ + + +THE BLACK MILLIONAIRE ON HIS WAY.--Mr. T. Thomas Fortune, Editor of +the _New York Age_, one of the bright papers published by colored men, +stated at a recent meeting that the race problem, instead of being +solved in the South, is being intensified by the present condition of +things. He deplored the fact of the black man being excluded by the +labor unions from earning an honest living, and, while the poor white +people are employed in mills and factories of the cities, the black +man is left to till the soil. He is barred out from manual labor and +in many cases must either "starve or steal." This despised individual +who "befo' de war," performed all the labor, is now hardly able to +earn a living. Yet, for all that, Mr. Fortune is confident that in the +future a "monstrosity" is coming. "I may not live to see him, but the +black millionaire is on his way." + + +THE TRIUMPHANT DEATH OF A CHRISTIAN INDIAN.--"It was my privilege to +see her very frequently in these last days and to be with the family +circle when she died. Whenever I intimated that my presence seemed +like an intrusion, poor Uncle Elias always said, 'No, I like to have +you here; it strengthens me.' And when I was not there, he sent to +have me come. It was just the sympathy he felt. He was sure of that, +for I loved her, too. Through it all Elias had been lovely, a constant +wonder to me in the strength of his beautiful faith which never +faltered for a moment. Again and again in those last hours, his voice +led in prayer as we stood around her bedside, and it seemed the +spontaneous overflow of his soul. And in the accompanying hymn each +time, he also led. The last one which he gave out, only a few minutes +before the faint breathing ceased, was 'Praise God--', the doxology, +(as it is in the Dakota, of course). His faith triumphed over his +sorrow for he knew she was going home to God. Only in that last prayer +from his breaking heart, his voice trembled as he pleaded that God +would help him. Surely He has helped him wonderfully." + + +FAMILY AFFECTION AMONG INDIANS.--I am impressed with the great degree +of family affection in some cases. I know one young girl who would +profit much by going for several years to Santee. Her parents are past +middle life, and have buried many sons, and Millie is their only +daughter, so naturally they cling most tenderly to her, and it seems +to me most a necessity that the sacrifice should be made, and yet--I +wish it could be different. + + +SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, FROM MRS. A. E. R. JONES, MISSIONARY TO THE +CHINESE.--Since writing you last month I am happy to say that two of +our pupils have entered Salt Lake College as students. They have +joined the preparatory classes in arithmetic and grammar. It is a +great step for them. We help them in our evening school in the lessons +for the next day. + +But this encouragement is little in comparison with the great blessing +that has come to us. By God's grace we trust three persons have been +led to Himself. These desire to be baptized next Sunday. It is no +hasty act, but has been postponed for some time rather than to make +haste. We believe that their conversions are of the Lord and are true +and genuine. + + * * * * * + +The Indians. + + * * * * * + +NEW TYPE OF INDIAN UPRISING. + +REV. GEORGE W. REED, FORT YATES, N. D. + + +The missionaries' correspondence begins to bring inquiries concerning +an Indian uprising. With the war news are mingled expressions of fear +that the Indians will be only too ready to seize upon the opportunity +to avenge fancied wrongs. Most of the soldiers have been withdrawn +from the frontier posts. In regard to the Sioux, those who know them +best have no fear. They recognize the progress made by them in the +last ten years. Too many of them have become followers of the Prince +of Peace. These ten years of splendid school training have given us a +new type of young men and women, who have more of home love and who +are beginning to think for themselves. The majority are no longer +roused to action by the harangue of a petty chief. The day of the +chief is rapidly passing away. The thinker and not the talker is +becoming the leader. + +There must be convincing proof of a good cause and of beneficial +results before another Indian war is undertaken under the most +favorable circumstances. In territory there is nothing to be gained. +They cling tenaciously to what they have, but they are not grasping +for more, for they realize that their vast hunting grounds have been +lost to them forever. The young men and women in going half across the +continent to Carlisle and Hampton, being educated there and in summer +homes in the East, come back impressed with the largeness of the +country, the prosperity and vast numerical superiority of the people. +They care not to war against so strong a foe. + +There is an uprising of the Indians, however, which is being too +slowly recognized. They are slowly but surely rising above +superstition and ignorance, yes, even above indolence. The old roving, +restless, tramp-like spirit has not wholly disappeared. Some are still +living only a stomach level life, with apparently no thought of head +or heart. The old Indian life is self-centered, hence selfish, ever +gathering to itself, never giving out, hence stagnant, non-progressive. + +Religion has given the life a new center and indefinite breadth. The +Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man are truths which once +accepted must change the whole life, and he who teaches them to an +Indian becomes a friend and not an enemy, and becomes loved for what +he brings and not hated for what he has taken away. The Indian and the +white man have gone into partnership in building churches. The Indian +has been giving liberally to missions outside of his own little land. + +The progress in educational work has been marked in the last decade. +Today every healthy boy and girl over six years of age is supposed to +be in school. More than half of these are for ten months of every year +in a boarding school, well cared for, well fed, well instructed. To me +one of the greatest evidences of progress is that so many of them +uncomplainingly--some eagerly--part with their young children during +these many months. The large majority of the parents have never +attended school a day in their lives, yet they make this large +sacrifice for the child's good. Ten years ago there was a dance house +in nearly every village, and the senseless gyrations were in progress +every week. The larger portion of the two weeks' rations was given to +the dancer's feast, and the half fed children were the sufferers. +Today there is not a dance house for the whole 90 miles along Grand +River. + +Ten years ago the first Indian returning with his bi-weekly rations +would invite his neighbors as they came home to help him eat in one +day, often in one meal, all this food. For the remainder of the two +weeks the family would be driven to live upon other feasts, or to the +fields for the wild turnip, the few berries or the plum. If four or +more feasts were called daily, the feasts gave way to famine before +the coming ration day. Often a week of feasting, then a week of +famine, became the rule. This state of things is becoming more and +more a thing of the past. Hospitality is as marked, but is not +carried to starvation extremes. Recently passing some trees in which +twelve or more years ago seven bodies were placed, and contrasting +this with the last funeral I attended, impressed upon me progress in +another line. + +Ten years ago last Jan. 12, a day made memorable by the great blizzard +which swept over our land with death and destruction, in the early +morning, long before daylight, I was aroused from slumber by a knock +at the door of our little log house on Oak Creek. One stops to think +twice before he jumps out of a warm bed when the temperature is out of +sight below zero in the room, the fire has gone out and a blizzard is +howling outside. The rapping at the door was continued till I opened +it. A rope was placed in my hand in which were two knots. They showed +the length and width of a coffin the man wished to make, and for which +he wanted lumber. I had only an old packing-case to give him. At +daylight, breakfastless, I went over to the tent and helped him make a +coffin from the case, a soap box and a small stable door. It was a +crude and weak affair. Ignorant of the language, I could only read +words of comfort from the Word of God and try to sing two Indian +hymns. Only a few of us stood about the grave, which the husband and +myself had dug. + +In the coffin had been placed dry crusts of bread, waste pieces of +meat, a rusty knife, fork and spoon. In the grave were first placed +some thick comfortables and a filthy pillow, on which the coffin, +warmly wrapped, was placed. Then over the mouth of the grave was laid +the broken tent poles, the tent covering folded and laid over, then a +great mound of earth. At the grave everything the family had was given +away. And this was only ten years ago. But how great an improvement on +the custom of laying the body on the top of a high hill, or in the +branches of a tree, or even leaving the top of the coffin even with +the surface of the ground, which has been done away with only in the +last twelve years. + +I have described one of the first funerals in the Indian country that +I remember. How different the funeral of one of our most faithful +women, Mrs. Mary Gilbert, who was buried from our crowded Grand River +Chapel April 17th. She had been a great sufferer for years, yet +patiently, uncomplainingly, bearing it all. Though in her last +sickness there was no hope of recovery, the most popular medicine man +was not sent for. The suffering woman was not put out in a tent to +die. Gratefully did she receive the tender nursing of the white lady +missionary and the skillful school physician. Tenderly was she cared +for to the last in a comfortable bed, in a clean, tidy house. The body +was not hurried with unseemly haste to the burial. Through the +darkness of night a messenger rode 30 miles to have the agency +carpenter make a coffin, neatly cover it with black cloth and white +metal trimmings. Through the darkness of another night was it carried +back. The one service of the Sabbath day was the funeral service. +Crowds gathered at the house at an early hour. The long procession of +wagons was nearly two hours in reaching the chapel. Beautiful and +simple was the service, and the closing words of the sorrowing husband +will long be remembered, as he spoke of his wife's noble work and +trusting faith in the Master. Through the parted lines of the 80 +school children was borne the casket, followed by the parents of these +children and others to the number of over 200, most of whom in the +last eight years have found Christ as an ever-present Saviour, and +have learned to know Him as "the resurrection and the life." In this +belief they gathered about this grave, and from it they went to their +homes to live re-consecrated lives. + +I have but hinted at progress in these illustrations from their life. +May the churches recognize this new type of Indian uprising, this +progress in many ways, by larger gifts for building much needed +churches, and in sending out new messengers of the Gospel of peace. +The Indians seem ready to do their share, are we ready to do ours? + + * * * * * + +The Chinese. + + * * * * * + +THE CALIFORNIA CHINESE MISSION. + + +I am requested to give a "general view of our work in about 1000 +words:" and I attempt the task. The story is elastic; it bears +compression. Perhaps it can be brought within the allotted space. I +have often undertaken to tell it in five minutes, premising, however, +always that to do this adequately would require more than five hours. + +I. FIGURES THAT WILL NOT LIE. The first half of the present fiscal +year ended March 3. The statistical reports for these six months are +the best we have had for more than ten years. The total number of +pupils enrolled in our 19 mission schools thus far is 970: about as +many as in the whole year '95 to '96. The average membership month by +month has been about 430, and the average attendance 234. Every month +has been fraught with saving light and love for some dark souls. I +cannot give an exact statement, but I think that nearly 50 conversions +have been reported, making a total, since our work began, of fully +1,600. + +II. THE NEW MISSION HOUSE. It has cost us, finished and furnished (so +far as it is yet furnished), fully $19,500. It is a fine building in +an admirable location, the best that could be found, overlooking a +pretty square, yet standing just within the border line of San +Francisco's Chinatown. It is four stories high, with a dry basement +and a flat roof, and it is utilized on these six floors. The Noyes +Memorial Chapel on the first floor is an attractive place of worship +seating easily 250, and is used on week days for the Central School, +which is, doubtless, the largest Chinese week-day school in our +country. Rev. Jee Gam, with his large family, has several rooms as a +sort of parsonage. Other Christian families occupy apartments. +Homeless young men rent some of our best rooms, and use them for +social purposes and as a retreat from the wickedness of almost every +other gathering place in Chinatown. Most of these young men were +Christians when they came to occupy these rooms. One among those who +were not Christians has already turned to Christ, the first fruits in +this our new garden of the Lord. We owe $13,250 on this building, of +which $2,000 ought to be paid at once. + +[Illustration: NEW MISSION HOUSE.] + +III. OUR WORK FOR MOTHERS AND CHILDREN is to be distinguished from the +Rescue work among the female slaves bought and sold for the worst of +purposes, who constitute a large majority of all the Chinese women in +California. This latter work our Presbyterian and Methodist Missions +have been doing for many years at large expense and with good results. +They were prepared to take care of all who would come to them, and we +did not enter into that field, for we never have used missionary money +for the purpose of competition with other denominations, and we never +will. The mothers living in wedlock and their children constitute our +field, and wherever we have missions this is carried on with more or +less activity according to the number of families and the welcomes +extended. In Los Angeles, Marysville, San Francisco and Watsonville, +there are visitors giving to this undertaking so much of their time as +to make it necessary to assist in their support. I doubt if any human +beings anywhere on earth have more hindrances to overcome, more lions +to face, more superstitions to be laid aside in coming to Christ, than +have the Chinese women. The tyranny of heathen husbands, the scorn of +neighbors, the vague dread of untold calamities which the ghosts of +the dead will inflict upon them if not duly worshipped, the stories +told them of children kidnapped, eyes put out, hurtful spells thrown +upon people by foreign devils; all these and other obstacles must be +met and overcome. But Christian kindness will overcome everything if +persistently shown, and I believe the time is coming when the harvest +among these Chinese mothers will exceed, in proportion to the numbers +within reach of us, any reaped elsewhere. I would like to go into the +details of this comparatively new work but my limits forbid it. + +IV. THE CHINESE POPULATION in America is, I believe, increasing. I +cannot prove this, and I state it only as an impression. The Exclusion +Law at its best is a leaky dike, and the tide washing up against it +leaps through and sometimes overflows. How this comes to pass I have +not space to tell, but while I do not believe that _all_ men have +their price, I suspect that some Custom House officials have not +always been proof against temptation, and are not now. And perjury in +the view of a non-christian Chinese is a venial offense except when so +clumsily committed as to lead to detection. But, no matter how these +new comers get here, once among us they are fish for our fishing, and +when one of them becomes a Christian and tells me he has been in the +country five or six or eight years, I do not feel bound to make him +confess the method of his entrance. He was a heathen then. There is no +probability whatever that the work of our mission will cease for lack +of material to work upon, till long after the present workers have +passed to their reward. + +V. THE FINANCES. Under this head the tale is soon told. Appropriation +from the A. M. A. exhausted. The last check for this fiscal year from +the office in New York came to me on the 1st of March. The bills for +April are provided for, however. As to May, June, July and August, +bills, which if the work were done as it should be, could not even by +closest economy, be brought below $4,000, we wait for the payment of +upon God and upon those whom he has made to be the almoners of His +bounty. Our Chinese will probably give about $1,500. Who will give the +rest? + +W. C. POND. + + * * * * * + +Obituary. + + +Rev. C. L.

He was born in +Somers, Conn., was graduated at Amherst College in 1845, at East +Windsor Theological Institute in 1848, and was ordained to the +ministry in the Second Church in Amherst and became its pastor Nov. 7, +1849. He remained there till September 2, 1863 when he resigned to +become chaplain to the Twenty-seventh Massachusetts Regiment. In this +service he remained nearly a year, and in 1865 was appointed general +agent of the American Missionary Association for Massachusetts, and in +1866 its District Secretary for New England, with office in Boston, +which position he occupied till 1888. In June, 1893, he returned to +his pastorate in Amherst where he labored with much earnestness till +his death. + + * * * * * + +RECEIPTS FOR FEBRUARY, 1898. + + * * * * * + +THE DANIEL HAND FUND + +For the Education of Colored People. + + Income for February $5,037.35 + Previously acknowledged 29,295.00 + ---------- + $34,332.35 + ========== + + +NOTE.--Where no name follows that of the town, the contribution is +from the church and society of that place.

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

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/25958-8.zip b/25958-8.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..8b7334b --- /dev/null +++ b/25958-8.zip diff --git a/25958-h.zip b/25958-h.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..a6e0e27 --- /dev/null +++ b/25958-h.zip diff --git a/25958-h/25958-h.htm b/25958-h/25958-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6eb6851 --- /dev/null +++ b/25958-h/25958-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,5201 @@ + <!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. 52, No. 2, June, 1898. + </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%;} + hr.tenth {width: 10%;} + + body{margin-left: 15%; + margin-right: 15%; + } + + .blockquot{margin-left: 5%; margin-right: 10%;} + + .pagenum {position: absolute; left: 1%; right: 91%; font-size: smaller;} + + 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; margin-left: 5em; margin-right: 5em; } + 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: + 0em; margin-right: 1em; padding: 0; text-align: center;} + .figright {float: right; clear: right; margin-left: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: + 0em; margin-right: 0em; 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;} + + .medium {font-size: 80%;} + .small {font-size: 50%;} + .right {text-align: right;} + .left {text-align: left;} + + .linenum {position: absolute; right: 25%; text-align: right;} + .center {text-align: center;} + .smcap {font-variant: small-caps;} + .chapline {font-variant: small-caps; margin-left: 6em;} + + .poem {margin-left:10%; margin-right:10%; text-align: left;} + .poem br {display: none;} + .poem .stanza {margin: 1em 0em 1em 0em;} + .poem span.i0 {display: block; margin-left: 0em; padding-left: 3em; text-indent: -3em;} + .poem span.i2 {display: block; margin-left: 2em; padding-left: 3em; text-indent: -3em;} + .poem span.i4 {display: block; margin-left: 4em; padding-left: 3em; text-indent: -3em;} + // --> + /* XML end ]]>*/ + </style> + </head> +<body> + + +<pre> + +The Project Gutenberg EBook of The American Missionary - Volume 52, No. 2, +June, 1898, by Various + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

The debt has been +steadily reduced. At the Annual Meeting in 1895, it was reported to be +$96,147. At the Annual Meeting in 1896 it was $66,572. At the last +Annual Meeting it was $54,945, and now at the close of eight months of +this fiscal year, May 31st, it is $39,527—a reduction from the +highest figure above of $56,620. This reduction is largely due to the +cutting down of expenditures, which has now reached a limit beyond +which no friends of these needy races would wish it to pass. For these +last eight months the total receipts show an increase of $25,800 in +legacies, and at the same time a decrease of $22,800 in collections.</p> + +<p>In view of these facts the duty is plain. Further reductions should +not be made. The income from legacies is an uncertain quantity, and an +increase of contributions is the only hope that can be given. Better +times are coming, the responsibility to the poor of our land is +urgent, and the generous response of philanthropic and Christian +givers alone can meet the emergency.</p> + +<hr class="quarter" /> +<h3>SUCCESS IS COSTLY.</h3> + +<p>When the early Abolitionists entered upon their contest against +slavery, they found that they had no holiday business on hand. Some +faltered, but others grew stronger as they realized the greatness of +the conflict before them. They saw that their warfare would cost much +in reputation, money, and even life itself. They succeeded, but only +because they were willing to pay the cost.</p> + +<p>When the next form of the conflict came—the terrible Civil War—the +cost was so great as to be without a parallel in human history. That +great<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_58" id="Page_58">[Pg 58]</a></span> cost was paid and success was won—a crowning success that +could only come because the full cost was paid. And now the third part +of the struggle confronts us—the redemption of the millions of blacks +still in the bondage of poverty, ignorance and vice. This is the +culmination of these past conflicts. If this be not successful, the +rest has been in part in vain. Four millions of slaves were freed, and +now four millions of their descendants are as helpless and hopeless as +they—as great a curse to themselves and as dangerous an element to +the nation. Now this great and crowning struggle is upon us. Other +interests may for a time hide it from view, but it must be met, and +here again, only that which costs will win. It is to be hoped that +prosperity will return and make it easier to raise the needed funds. +But continued depression will not hinder, for, as in the past, so +here, self-denial and self-sacrifice will bear the burden which God +has imposed, and the result will be success. Our appeal, therefore, +for aid in this great conflict is not based on a mere hope of a better +financial outlook in the nation, but on the consecration and +benevolence of those who are ready to win a success that costs.</p> + +<hr class="quarter" /> +<h3>WAR AND ITS RESULTS.</h3> + +<p>If war is simply to kill people and destroy property, it is an unmixed +calamity. But often there are great and valuable results. Our War of +Independence gave birth to this nation and to its amazing +possibilities. The civil war confirmed the unity of the nation and +wiped away the blot and curse of slavery. The present war with Spain +is waged for the humane purpose of delivering Cuba, our near neighbor, +from manifold forms of oppression, crippling its life, hindering its +industries and impoverishing its people. It is earnestly to be hoped +that the results of the struggle will secure deliverance from these +evils.</p> + +<p>Other blessings are already beginning to be realized. The war unites +the North and the South as they have not been for thirty years. Our +diverse peoples are united in enthusiasm under a common flag. The +colored people of the country invited to join the armies are yet in +some portions of the country received coldly or even with taunts and +abuse. But they bear it all cheerfully, devoting themselves to the +interests of our common country. Two brief extracts from papers edited +and published by colored men give evidence of their patriotism and +forbearance under these trials.</p> + +<p>From the <i>Fisk Herald</i>, Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn.:</p> + +<p>"The duty of the colored citizens of America in the impending conflict +between our country and Spain is clear, and we are exceedingly glad to +note that they are eager to go to the front to uphold the United +States in its just demands upon Spain for the freedom of Cuba. No +people ought to sympathize more with the oppressed than the negroes of +America."</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_59" id="Page_59">[Pg 59]</a></span></p><p>From the <i>Christian Recorder</i> of the A. M. E. Church:</p> + +<p>"At all times the colored citizens of this country have proven loyal +to the Government, and while they smart under the unjust treatment +accorded them here, at no time and under no circumstances have they +shown a lack of patriotism when the conditions demand it.</p> + +<p>"In the present crisis the colored citizens are maintaining their past +record for loyalty and devotion, and though our soldiers of color have +been insulted and subjected to great indignities while on their way to +defend their country, still their patriotism is not lessened nor their +ardor cooled."</p> + +<hr class="quarter" /> +<h3>THE COLORED PEOPLES OF CUBA.</h3> + +<p>We understand that about a half a million of the people of Cuba are +Negro or mulatto, making nearly one-third of the population, and we +learn that there is no such race antagonism between these Negroes and +the Creoles as there is with us. The Maceos, who are among the finest +specimens of patriotic manhood on the island, are mulattoes. If now, +Cuba should be made free and become a part of these United States, +these colored people would claim the sympathies and services of the +American Missionary Association in giving to them those educational +and religious advantages so promptly and freely given to the +emancipated blacks of our own land. Such a service would bind these +two peoples together and aid in uplifting both to the intelligence and +privileges of free Christian citizens.</p> + +<hr class="quarter" /> +<h3>MISSIONARIES MURDERED IN WEST AFRICA.</h3> + + +<p>It is with heartfelt sorrow that we chronicle the murder of six +missionaries in West Africa. They were sent by the Society of United +Brethren in Christ, whose central office is in Dayton, O., and which +has for many years carried forward very successful work in the Sherbro +country, Sierra Leone, West Africa. This mission was contiguous to the +Mendi Mission, founded by the A. M. A., and worked with it in +Christian harmony and fellowship. When the Association retired from +foreign mission work, the Mendi Mission was turned over to the Sherbro +Mission, and aid was furnished for a time with funds from our board.</p> + +<p>The slaughter of these devoted missionaries was brought about in +consequence of a tax on houses or huts imposed by the Sierra Leone +government. The savage people in the remoter districts pushed forward +a resistance to this tax, and, confounding all white men and women +together as responsible, committed these murders and destroyed mission +property. Redress may come for property destroyed and other +missionaries may take the place of those who have fallen, but we mourn +for those who have been martyrs in the cause of the Master.</p> + + + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_60" id="Page_60">[Pg 60]</a></span></p> +<hr class="quarter" /> +<h3>WORKING, THINKING, WRITING.</h3> + + +<p>To <i>print</i> a newspaper, though it be a small one, requires dexterous +hand work. To <i>publish</i> such a paper demands business gifts to secure +means and to plan the work. To <i>edit</i> such a paper calls for readable +and racy writing. Few forms of business require a greater variety of +manual, skilful and facile ability. For these reasons we are glad to +find that in nearly all our larger schools in the South, monthly +papers are printed and published—with little or no expense to the +Association. The printing office teaches a useful and profitable trade +to the student, the editing is usually done by the professors and +students, and the publishing is managed so that by the aid of +advertising and paid subscriptions, the expense is mainly met. These +periodicals contain much valuable information. The professors +contribute well-written papers, the students furnish articles or +copies of orations or essays delivered on public occasions, and the +graduates write sketches of their life struggles and successes since +leaving the institutions. Well selected items from the world outside +enrich these pages, and brief, personal paragraphs give varied and +useful local information.

F. BEARD.</div> + +<p>It is my lot on the routes of less frequented travel to fall in with a +class of my fellowmen distinctively known as "Commercial men." It is +their business to be both inquisitive and communicative. While waiting +at some little tavern or railroad station often the right hand of +fellowship has been extended to me with the question "What is your +line?" or "I see you have no trunks, how do you carry your samples?" +They do not always quite understand "our line" when I tell them that +our samples have learned to carry themselves and even to carry others. +Then I am called to explain how they began their intelligent life with +us, how we took the raw material and in process of time sent out our +products from our schools and institutions with their thought of life +widened, with enlarged mental vision and the great majority of them +with hopeful religious characters and purposes. Sometimes these fellow +travelers hear, and sometimes I marvel because of their unbelief. If +our readers could see our samples as we see them in their varied +vocations and places they would not soon forget them.</p> + +<p>Not long since in Alabama I came across certain ones which are types; +and as types I present them. The environment which conditions their +work and gives the color of it must needs be included. Situated among +the hills of Eastern Alabama is a thickly settled community of people +about two-thirds of whom are colored. It is in the County of Elmore, +and bears the Indian name of Kowaliga. Being near the corner of two +adjoining counties, it is a rural centre from which large numbers of +children can be reached who ought to be educated, and who are anxious +to "get an education" as their one chance in life, a chance which so +far has been beyond them.</p> + +<p>Kowaliga settlement is remote from any railroad and consists wholly of +plantations. These plantations were formerly tilled by slaves, but +since freedom came to those who gave their unrequited labor, the rich +white planters have become poor and many of their sons now may be seen +themselves following their plows, tilling the fields and driving mules +instead of men. The country is fertile and repays intelligent tillage.</p> + +<p>The American Missionary Association has been applied to repeatedly for +help in this settlement of Kowaliga. Under the lead of two young +college graduates, both of whom I had met while they were students at +Fisk University, the colored people with great sacrifice had +contributed building material and labor in the construction of a very +substantial two-story building with attic and basement, which, +however, is yet incomplete and unfurnished. The people with few +exceptions, are extremely poor and very ignorant, and have an +imperfect idea of what a school means with its proper appointments and +teachers.</p> +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_62" id="Page_62">[Pg 62]</a></span></p> +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 431px;"> +<img src="images/img68.jpg" width="431" height="286" alt="Kowaliga Industrial School." title="" /> +<span class="caption">Kowaliga Industrial School.</span> +</div> + +<p>In answer to the most urgent appeals of the two young educators, I +arranged in my recent journeying in the South for a personal +investigation. One of the former student acquaintances came for me in +his "one horse shay" and with him as my courier and companion I rode +through this rural district. I found that the white farmers are +gradually leaving their plantations while the colored people are as +gradually becoming land owners. Abandoned farms, which through poor +culture have not paid the farmers for cultivation, can easily be +secured by industrious colored people who are willing to deny +themselves and work hard for an independent start in life.</p> + +<p>The father of the young man whom I accompanied on my long ride through +the country is one of these who has already won his success. His +experience and achievement are typical in illustrating the trends and +the probabilities.</p> + +<p>Mr. J. A. Benson—at this present time forty-six years of age—was +born a slave three miles from the great plantation which he now owns. +When his owner's estate was divided he was a part of the property +which fell to an heir in Talladega, Alabama. There as property he was +sent, and there he worked as a slave until emancipation came. At the +age of nineteen years, with a hundred dollars saved from his earnings +as a free man he returned to his birthplace and purchased on credit +160 acres of land. His first year of crops gave him a handsome profit +and soon he was able to pay for this land. Again he bought land, and +again more year by year. Now I found him with his new house of twelve +rooms nearly completed on the site of his old one, the construction of +which was under the direction of a Negro contractor<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_63" id="Page_63">[Pg 63]</a></span> whose leading +workman was a white man; a native of that same community. The mason +who did the masonry was also a Southern white man. While engaged on +this "job" both white men ate at the same table with the owner. In the +"Merchant of Venice" we read of one who said, "I will buy with you, +sell with you, talk with you, walk with you and so following, but I +will not eat with you." Nevertheless there are times when "Necessity +knows no law" and this was one of the times. It was the common +opinion, however, that the excellent mason was much more expeditious +than is common about his job, though he was working by the day. His +work was completed in about one-half the usual time allowed for it. He +stayed, not upon the order of his going. Doubtless a second experience +would come with less self conquest than the first.</p> + +<p>Mr. Benson began his independent life with his unpaid farm of 160 +acres. Now he owns 3,000 acres of land paid for and without +encumbrance, with the virtual ownership of a fine stream, at some +points 500 feet wide, which for five miles runs through his extensive +plantations. On this stream he has a brick yard, a saw mill, a grist +mill and a cotton gin and compressing mill combined in one and +operated by the water of this stream. The farm is worked on shares +chiefly, the owner furnishing the land and the stock, the laborers +dividing the products half and half.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 431px;"> +<img src="images/img69.jpg" width="431" height="267" alt="Kowaliga Creek." title="" /> +<span class="caption">Kowaliga Creek—through Mr. Benson's Plantations.</span> +</div> + +<p>The leases are taken by a dozen responsible and experienced farmers, +who sub-contract with the laborers under their immediate supervision. +Of the 3,000 acres, one-half is devoted to corn, cotton, cane, etc.; +500 are used for pasturage and 1,000 furnish ample supply of pine, oak +and hickory timber<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_64" id="Page_64">[Pg 64]</a></span> for the greedy teeth of his saw mill and the +willing embrace of his planing mill. He has cows, cattle, mules, +horses, barns and farm implements to meet all necessities. His teams +go regularly to Montgomery markets and return with stores for the +forty families who live upon his lands and work them, and for the +community who purchase of him what things they have. Besides his +possessions in land, Mr. Benson has been able to loan to his white +neighbors some $6,000, which are secured by mortgages upon their +farms. They are running behind and he is running ahead. While I was +the guest of this man, opposite me at the table dined a white man who +was engaged on the carpentry of the new house. He was a native +Southerner but he showed no evidence of social injury, and if he did +his carpentry work as thoroughly as he did that of the table he +certainly earned his wages.</p> + +<p>Mr. Benson has managed with his uncommon ability to pick up education +enough to achieve and handle successfully and shrewdly these large +interests; not only to know their details but also to realize their +significance and somewhat of the larger world beyond his own +dominions. The success of this self-made colored man may be somewhat +exceptional in degree, but it is not at all phenomenal. The story with +the variations of personality and place could be told a hundred times +over among the colored people who began thirty years ago without a +foot of land or a dollar of money.</p> + +<p>Among the colored people in this rural community this man is one. For +the most part life has gone on for the others without much +advancement. They have not been left without a certain kind of school +for their children taught for three months out of twelve chiefly by +students who are themselves getting an education in institutions +sustained by Northern benevolence; but the teaching has been without +continuity and insufficient to make much impress on character. This +far-seeing colored man realized this, and his own influence in life +might have been greater if chances had come to him in his earlier +days. He has, therefore, given his son a liberal education at college +and has daughters now in the same path.</p> + +<p>When the young man returned from his studies with Christian love in +his heart to assist his father in business he took in the situation +that there must be a school here commensurate with the needs, where +the colored boys and girls might receive the blessings of an education +large and thorough enough and of such a positive Christian quality as +should change the life of the community. In some aspects it sadly +needs radical change.</p> + +<p>He called to his side one of his mates at Fisk University—a graduate +of the college department—under the conviction that for such work as +this there was a call for a thorough as well as a technical education; +that there must be breadth of mental knowledge and mental vision as +well as skill of hand. The young college man with his diploma in his +pocket heard the call, as scores of samples from our institutions in +our great system of schools are hearing theirs every year; and when +once there these two young men<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_65" id="Page_65">[Pg 65]</a></span> began what is to be the <span class="smcap">Kowaliga +Academic and Industrial School</span>. They each had taken industrial +training enough with their studies to know what they were about. They +sought good counsel from others and thus the main school building was +begun. Mr. Benson, the father, furnished a sufficient allotment of +land for the site, the timber and the lumber which his mills sawed and +planed, and which his teams carted. The Samples supervised and the +young people and old wrought with their own hands. Generous friends +from the North lent their names to the undertaking and from and +through them contributions came in amounts sufficient to encourage but +not large enough to complete. From these were named an advisory board +of friends who with an equal number of colored people in the +neighborhood were called trustees.</p> + +<p>These are the conditions in which I introduce our Samples. It was at +this stage of the proceedings when these children of the American +Missionary Association called to us for the second and third time, +"Come over and help us." We came, we saw, and they conquered. How +could we do other than honor their faith and patience with our "watch +and care," and with a little faith on our part that help enough would +come to us to make their own helpfulness successful. Here in the +darkness these light bearers will give light and save life and they +will do this better because light has been given to them and they +themselves have been saved.</p> + +<div class="figleft" style="width: 188px;"> +<img src="images/img71.jpg" width="188" height="216" alt="(portrait of Prof. T.

Some of +their "examples" are already on the shelves of science in our +libraries, and are hanging in honor in the galleries of art. Not a few +of our graduates fill Professors' chairs. Many are already teachers of +teachers. They believe that the Negro has intellect as well as hands. +They believe in the development of manhood and womanhood along all +lines, and do not believe that an elementary education for an +elementary people is enough to save a race. They have been taught in +our schools that our thought of education is that the knowledge which +is of most worth "is that which stands in closet relation to the +highest forms of the activity of the spirit created in the image of +Him who holds nature and man and life alike in the hollow of His +hand." Our idea of the educational process is that it is vital and not +merely technical; that it is indeed but another name for the unfolding +and growth of the human spirit. It has not, therefore, been along a +single line of material helpfulness, and its ends are not reached with +mere technical skill.</p> + +<p>Our supreme purpose is "to give light and to save life," but we have +never tried to save disembodied spirits. We have written Christianity +large over and in all of our work in the school rooms, in the manual +training shops, in the farm instruction, because we are sure there is +no recuperative energy in the colored race, nor in any other, +sufficient to save itself. There is nothing so practical to uplift men +or races as Christianity. Said Archdeacon Tiffany the other day at +Yale, "A prevailing idea is, to create an environment is to develop +Christian life. Put people in the right places and they will be all +right, a statement, however, which experience has denied from the +Garden of Eden until now. Environment is a great factor but it does +not furnish the life impulse. Recognize the help of environment but do +not depend on it. How often environment does not make character but +may retard it." Our work strikes its roots far deeper than in +externals. Nevertheless, Christianity assumes intelligence and depends +upon it. With<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_67" id="Page_67">[Pg 67]</a></span> Christian character and intelligence we hear the call +for technical skill and provide for it in our industrial annexes side +by side with our work in mental development. Hence you will find the +Samples "in our line" as easily as a commercial traveler finds the +stores which handle his goods.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 310px;"> +<img src="images/img73.jpg" width="310" height="367" alt="Industrial Room, Orange Park, Fla." title="" /> +<span class="caption">Industrial Room, Orange Park, Fla.

While we were +teaching them first of all to be larger and better in mind, stronger +in heart and will, teaching them to have a large and intelligent faith +in God, and an honest following of Christ, we have taught them at the +same time how to till the soil wisely, how to excel in the trades, how +to keep their accounts accurately and how to have accounts to keep.

G. W. HENDERSON, D.D.</div> + + +<p>Our school year, which closed May 25, has been crucial in many +respects. It has tested the attachment of the scholars to the school +on one hand, and their desire for an education and the willingness of +themselves and of their parents to make sacrifices to this end on the +other; for the fever and the rigid quarantine delayed the opening in +the fall, paralyzed business, and made it difficult for parents and +students to earn the means not only to meet school expenses, but even +to obtain the ordinary comforts of life. But, notwithstanding these +discouragements, our old scholars remained loyal and patiently awaited +the opening, and the attendance has been good—that in the higher +grades coming up to the average figure. How much solicitude, earnest +planning and brave self-sacrifice all this involved no one who has not +lived in the midst of the people can realize; no one but the +All-Knowing can understand.</p> + +<p>The list of our various exercises is somewhat long, yet each +represents some special department of our work, or is a manifestation +of some special form of its manifold activities, and for this reason +cannot fail to be of interest to our readers.</p> + +<p>Junior Exhibition, May 4, was the first exercise on the program; two +weeks later came the Recital by the Department of Instrumental Music. +The Address, Sunday morning, May 22d, to the Christian Associations by +Rev. J. M. Loring, D.D., of this city, and the Baccalaureate, Sunday +night, by President Atwood, were both greatly enjoyed by the large +audiences that came to hear.</p> + +<p>A feature of growing power and usefulness is the Sumner and Alpha +Literary Societies, whose anniversary is always an occasion of great +interest. The able and eloquent address this year was given by Rev. L. +H. Reynolds, D.D., the successful pastor of the leading African +Methodist Church in this city. He made his auditors feel that, though +their lot had many hardships, it also had many compensating +advantages, and that to the educated and consecrated youth of the race +the field for usefulness and distinction was large and inviting.</p> + +<p>The Class Day Exercise, Monday night, came up in point of interest and +attraction to the usual high standard. The Grammar Department had the +right of way Tuesday 1 <span class="smcap">P. M.</span> Certificates admitting them to the Normal +and College Preparatory Departments were given to forty-two bright +boys and girls. And truly, the boys in their neat fitting suits and +the girls in their white gowns presented a beautiful sight. The +history of their efforts to reach this landmark in their educational +life is full of pathos and romance. Observe that girl sitting yonder +on the right. Her happy face glows with the interest of the occasion; +her dress is neat and cleanly. Yet that girl left the washroom<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_71" id="Page_71">[Pg 71]</a></span> or +laundry when she came to school this morning, and will return to it +when the school day closes. Back from the street and enclosed by +larger buildings and shut out from the blessed sunlight and pure air +is the house she calls her home. She is the oldest of five or six +children. The hard worked mother, who seldom leaves the wash-tub +except to retire to her weary couch, is only able to keep this girl in +school by the most rigid economy and self-denial, and when she has +finished her course, then by her help the others may have a chance.</p> + +<p>This is one of many cases which the kind and faithful teacher has +discovered among her scholars. The lesson of it is that the race which +has such mothers, so patient, so self-sacrificing, is sure to rise, +and is worth taking some stock in by the friends of Christian +missions; nor need we be surprised to learn that out of a colored +voting population of 120,000 in Louisiana, nearly 39,000 have acquired +within thirty-five years the ability to read and write.</p> + +<p>The Alumni Association held their annual meeting Tuesday night and +listened to a bright oration by Miss Annie Feyer, class '97.</p> + +<p>And now let us look at the last scene in this drama of the closing +year at Central Church. It is the old story—old yet new and fresh in +its human element and its deep significance—of a packed house, and of +an attention so fixed and earnest that naught is heard during the +delivery of the pieces, though hundreds are standing, save the beating +of fifteen hundred fans against the warm air, and the clear +enunciation of the speakers, and the hearty, yet discriminating +applause.</p> + +<p>The various subjects treated reveal, as usual, interesting traits in +the characters of the speakers, some breathing aspirations after a +larger liberty, and a more rational conception of it, some revealing a +deep consciousness of life's noble obligations and splendid +opportunities, some insisting on independence of mind as the basis of +true manhood. The graduate from the department of theology pleaded for +character in the ministry to the manifest satisfaction of the +audience. Here and there were heard echoes of the troubled past, some +sensitiveness to present hardships was manifested, but the prevailing +tone was a willingness to take hold of life bravely and seriously, to +redress the wrong and to glorify the right.</p> + +<p>In beholding these ten graduates—six from the normal course, three +from the college preparatory and one from the theological—one could +not but compare the present with the not distant past, and rejoice in +the compensations of prudence. The proud father of one of the girls +who sat in the audience was once the body servant of Jefferson Davis. +The mother of one of the boys who acquitted himself with more than +usual ability came forward at the close of the exercises and looked +him in the face for several moments, too utterly happy to speak a +word.</p> + +<p>The exhibits of the industrial department as well as the work of the +grades, notwithstanding the shortness of the year, showed no sacrifice +of quality.</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_72" id="Page_72">[Pg 72]</a></span></p><p>Thus, in spite of many adverse circumstances, the year has been one of +signal blessing in all the departments; the religious life was never +sweeter or more earnest, the school was never more thoroughly +dominated by Christian motives and principles. President Atwood may +justly felicitate himself and his co-workers upon the good results +obtained.</p> + + + +<hr class="quarter" /> +<h3>COMMENCEMENT AT TOUGALOO UNIVERSITY, MISS.</h3> + +<div class="center">BY PRESIDENT FRANK G. WOODWORTH, D.D.</div> + +<p>The commencement exercises on May 19th closed one of the most +memorable years in the history of the institution. Quarantine delayed +the opening of the year until November 23d, and on the next night the +girls' dormitory was destroyed by fire. These two things greatly +reduced the attendance, and of course the fire entailed a great many +inconveniences. The school has gone bravely on, however, and the year +is now looked back upon as one of the most satisfactory in work and +general results that has been seen. Students and teachers have labored +with unusual diligence, crowding nearly the full work of the usual +school year into six months.</p> + +<p>The year has been signalized by having a Freshman class, the first to +enter on college work. Four students have successfully completed the +year, and another class of the same size or larger is expected for +next year.</p> + +<p>The president preached the Baccalaureate sermon from Gen. 5:24. All +the graduates are Christians; all but two of the Academy, and +three-fourths of the grammar pupils of the year have been Christians.</p> + +<p>The annual concert always attracts much attention, and it has been a +problem what to do with the large crowds who attend. This year a +complimentary rehearsal was given on Monday evening to which friends +from Jackson were invited, a special train coming out on their behalf. +On Wednesday evening was the regular concert, and the room was again +crowded. A general program of fine selections was rendered, followed +by Rheinberger's "Clarice of Eberstein." Tougaloo's musical work is of +the highest order. At the graduating exercises on Thursday, nine young +people received diplomas of graduation from the Academy courses, five +of them young women. Four of the class expect to return for college +work, one to go on to college elsewhere, one to study medicine, one is +taking nurse training in a Chicago hospital, and the others expect to +teach. The spirit in which they go out is exemplified in the answer +made by one of them to the question, "What will you do if you fail to +get a school to teach this summer?" "Do what I can find. Dig, if need +be." A very similar answer was given by one of the most advanced young +women, except she said "Hoe corn or cotton" instead of "dig." The +higher education will hurt none who have that spirit.</p> + +<p>The annual address was delivered by President Barrett of the Jackson<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_73" id="Page_73">[Pg 73]</a></span> +College, and was a most helpful and stimulating utterance on the +"Value of Purpose." Brief addresses were made by prominent visitors, +among them several pastors of the white churches in Jackson, the +principal of the city schools, and Col. Charles E. Hooker, for many +years congressman from this district. His address was specially +interesting in the strong feeling of sympathy which it exhibited for +the work of Tougaloo and similar schools, coming as it did from a +public man of such prominence, of a slave-holding family and himself a +former slave owner.</p> + +<p>The industrial exhibit in one of the school rooms attracted very large +attention. It covered needle work, cookery, nurse-training, wood and +iron work, agriculture, and there was also a fine botanical exhibit. +While the manual training work has always made a fine appearance, it +was felt that this exhibit surpassed all that had preceded it. The +steel tools, made and tempered by students, were specially admired.</p> + +<p>It was matter of special gratulation that the work of excavation for +the foundation of the new dormitory, delayed because the Association +builder was elsewhere occupied, was well advanced. It is hoped that +the building will be nearing completion when the term begins on +September 28th next.</p> + +<p>It is sometimes said that colored students show little gratitude for +what aid is given to them. Many instances to the contrary are +continually occurring. One of the graduates of this year, a young +woman, left a note for the president to be read by him after she had +gone, which shows so much in several ways that a portion of it may +well be quoted here. "Since I have been coming to Tougaloo, I have had +quite a little help. Although it was a blessing from God, you are the +agent through whom it came. These few lines are to let you know that I +appreciate and thank you for your kindness. I haven't gained as much +as I would like to have done, yet I have this consolation, and it may +be encouraging to you, that I got as much as I could mentally, +physically and spiritually. Since my connection with this school, my +knowledge has been increased, false ideas have been corrected, truths +have been established, life broadened, desires multiplied, faith in +Christ increased, and I have been enabled to advance a few steps +toward my ideal. My greatest desire is to do as much for Christ as I +may among my fellow men." Who could show better results of education? +Does not aiding such a student pay?</p> + + + +<hr class="quarter" /> +<h3>DORCHESTER ACADEMY, MCINTOSH, GA.</h3> + +<div class="center">BY PROF. FREDERICK W. FOSTER.</div> + + +<p>The beginning of our Commencement Exercises occurred on Sunday +morning, May 15, when Rev. J. R. McLean, of Macon, preached an able +and instructive sermon to our graduating class. The speaker made very +apt<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_74" id="Page_74">[Pg 74]</a></span> and telling application of his subject, which, while especially +directed to the graduates, was good for all.</p> + +<p>The examinations in the various grades took place on Wednesday, 18th, +lasting through the day. They gave evidence of good, thorough work on +the part of pupils and teachers, and that our school is moving upward +all along the line. Much interest was manifested in the recitations +and discussions by patrons and visiting friends. Although many of our +visitors were unlettered people, they showed that they could keenly +appreciate whatever they saw that was good.</p> + +<p>A fine display of boys' and girls' clothing and quilts gave proof of +the diligence of teacher and pupils in the sewing and dressmaking +department, and of the progress made in that line both in the present +and past years. A display of household furniture, including tables, +stands, wash-stands, a side-board, hat racks and towel racks, showed +what our boys' manual teacher and his boys have been doing. To this +should be added a neat fence, built by the boys in the lower grades. +The neatness and thoroughness of the work on the furniture greatly +exceeds that of the same grade from a manufactory.</p> + +<p>But our day of days came on Thursday, when a large audience from +various parts of Southeastern Georgia assembled at our church to +witness the exercises of graduation. Although this is only our third +exercise of this kind, it has already become one of the great annual +events of Liberty and neighboring counties. Notwithstanding the heat +of the day and the dust, the church was packed by an audience of at +least six hundred. In thought, force and plainness of expression and +delivery, the orations of the young men were well up toward +"high-water mark." The subjects chosen were eminently of a practical +nature, and were treated in a very practical and forceful way that +went right home to the understanding and appreciation of the hearers, +as was manifested by the close attention that was evident on every +hand. The music for the occasion was furnished by the Normal +department, assisted by the grammar grades, and consisted of +well-drilled choruses, a duet and a solo. The exercises closed with an +appropriate address by the pastor, Rev. A. L. DeMond, and the +presentation of the well-earned diplomas.</p> + +<p>It should have been mentioned that, on Tuesday evening, a reception +was given by the teachers to the members of the graduating class and +the alumni, furnishing a very pleasant social occasion. On Thursday +afternoon, the alumni of the school organized and held its first +meeting, consisting of literary exercises; and in the evening gave a +reception to the teachers at a neighboring house, thus giving a +pleasant ending to the school year of 1897-8.</p> + +<p>It has been a busy week and one filled with hard work, and moreover, +such work as could not have been possible a very few years ago. A +diploma received now by a graduate means the completion of a +four-years' Normal course, and the work satisfactorily done.</p> + + + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_75" id="Page_75">[Pg 75]</a></span></p> +<hr class="quarter" /> +<h3>COLORED TEACHERS IN THE SOUTH.</h3> + +<div class="center">BY PROF. A. J. STEELE, MEMPHIS, TENN.</div> + + +<p>A full generation has passed since the emancipation of the slaves in +the United States and since the avenues of knowledge were thrown open +to the colored people through the doors of the school house. During +this time portions of three generations, parents, children and +grand-children, literally "Children's children to the third +generation," have, to a greater or less extent, availed themselves of +the tuition of the schools.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 443px;"> +<img src="images/img81.jpg" width="443" height="322" alt="Children's Children." title="" /> +<span class="caption">Children's Children.</span> +</div> + +<p>During the first decade, and in regularly decreasing ratio since, the +most difficult problem has been how to provide competent teachers for +the instruction of a race crowding and hungry for knowledge. +Fortunately, perhaps, in the long view, the teaching of colored youth +has never, from the first, in the South, been considered a popular +calling, and so the work has in the main devolved upon the colored +people themselves, a work to which, for years, from almost entire lack +of opportunity for training, they could bring but the scantiest +preparation and even less experience.</p> + +<p>No more interesting or suggestive study could be undertaken than that, +of tracing the progress of the colored teachers of a race so recently +emancipated, as they have advanced in literary, mental and moral +fitness for a work thrust upon them by the exigencies of the +situation.</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_76" id="Page_76">[Pg 76]</a></span></p><p>Reference to the tables of statistics compiled by the Commissioner of +Education for 1895-6 shows how well the race is meeting the demand for +teachers in its schools, everywhere in the South kept separate from +the public schools for white children. For the year above mentioned +there were employed 26,499 colored teachers, who had under their care +1,429,713 pupils. For the same year there were in the various Normal +Schools for colored people 4,672 students, 966 of whom were graduated; +826 were graduated from high schools and 161 from college courses, +making in all 1,953 graduates from courses of study considered +sufficient in extent to fit more or less thoroughly for the work of +teaching; not to mention the even greater numbers who engage in +teaching before having completed any higher course of training. So +much as to mere numbers. Now, in general, as to the advancement being +made by schools of this class. Without exception, the reports of +school officers give credit for constantly increasing excellency and +proficiency of both schools and teachers, and certain it is, that the +public appreciation and esteem is shown by an increasing patronage and +a more substantial provision for the improvement and support of the +schools.</p> + +<p>In particular, while it is not always safe to draw sweeping +conclusions from facts gathered within a limited area of observation, +it may yet be confidently asserted, that what is true of the schools +and teachers of any fairly representative city or community in the +South, is likely to be measurably true wherever similar conditions and +opportunities prevail. My own direct experience and observation have +had to do with the colored schools and teachers of a single city of +sixty to eighty thousand people, nearly one-half colored, and the +counties and towns adjacent. These I have followed very closely for +over twenty-five years. I can testify positively that there has been a +steady raising of the standards of qualifications and proficiency with +regard both to intellectual and moral attainments among the teachers +of colored schools, and in this I shall be borne out by the testimony +of superintendents and school officers, as well as by all observing +people of these communities. In many cases teachers and schools of +this class have attained an enviable reputation and are often +mentioned as models of excellence in many ways.</p> + +<p>The process of growth here, as elsewhere, has been one of the +"survival of the fittest," the ill-trained, inefficient teachers +gradually giving place to the better qualified, more capable class. +The initial influence in this line of succession dates back but little +more than thirty years, to the founding of "mission" schools at +centres of influence throughout the South; "a handful of corn on the +top of the mountain" from which has come the wide-spreading harvests +of the present. It is a statement well within the facts that nine out +of ten of the colored schools of all grades in the South are taught by +those who had their training in these mission schools, or else by<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_77" id="Page_77">[Pg 77]</a></span> +teachers who owe their education to those of their own race who were +so trained. No more powerful or far-reaching influence was ever set in +operation than that which had its origin in the cabin where taught the +first humble missionary among the people freed by the war. The whole +power and potency of all that has followed was represented in that +first despised and humble effort.</p> + +<p>From that day to this seems a long call. The passage has been made +almost unobserved, like the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven. It now +not unfrequently happens that a colored public school stands +accredited in a community with excellencies to distinguish it as an +example worthy of imitation. Such is the colored high school in the +city of my direct observation, in the two respects of self-control and +government of its pupils, and in its movement toward a collection of +miscellaneous books for a school library—excellencies not ascribed, +so far as I know, in anything like the same measure to any other +public school. It is perhaps needless to add that the principal of +this school, as well as the teachers of a large percentage of the +other best schools of the city and county, have had their training in +one of the "mission" normal schools above mentioned.</p> + +<p>To remove or weaken these centres of power would be to strike the most +deadly blow at the education of the colored people. It would be the +removal of so many nerve centres out from which still flow the stimuli +needful to keep in active operation and growing power the entire +system.</p> + +<p>John F. Slater and Daniel Hand and a hundred other individual +benefactors have seen this vital fact and have done what they could to +build up and strengthen such influences. The church will make a great +mistake if it ignores this fact or relaxes its efforts in the support +of the institutions so wisely planned and so greatly efficient for +good in the past.</p> + +<hr class="quarer" /> + +<h3>NOTES.</h3> + +<p><span class="smcap">Closing Exercises At Le Moyne</span>.—Le Moyne Normal Institute, Memphis, +Tennessee, closed on the 2nd of June.

GEORGE W. HENDERSON, D.D.</div> + + +<p>Among the young colored men who heard the call of God for the +uplifting of their race was Mr. H——, whose home was in Arkansas. +From the first, with him Christian faith meant Christian service, and +he at once became active in church and Sunday-school. Nature was +generous to him in the saving gift of common sense, and he was not +long in perceiving the incompetency of the ministers to whom the +people at that time looked for religious instruction and leadership.</p> + +<p>A fortunate providence brought him into contact with a teacher from +Straight University. The information she gave him of this institution +opened the way to execute the purpose which he had been cherishing for +some time, to fit himself to become a missionary to his people in his +own home. The loss of a leg at this time, through the carelessness of +another, instead of discouraging, strengthened his resolution. +Penniless, like Booker Washington, he set out for this missionary seat +of learning, his only resource, prayer, his only support, hope and +faith.</p> + +<p>One bright morning, this brave Arkansas lad presented himself at +Straight University. Hobbling up the walk to the main building, and +assuming an air of confidence quite in contrast to his internal +emotions, he hailed a passing student in the familiar vocabulary of +the plantation—"Say, Sonny, is the Boss in?" The "Boss" was in, and +on meeting this new candidate for academical honors, quite took away +his breath by addressing him as "Mr." Such courtesy was a surprise and +a revelation to him. That he was somebody in the eyes of heaven was +the gracious revelation of his Christian faith; it now for the first +time dawned upon him that the recognition of his manhood was possible +on earth.</p> + +<p>Eight years of earnest study followed, years full of happiness, +because they were years of progress, of growing religious experience, +of expanding intellectual and spiritual vision. The dream of his +uncared for boyhood was in process of realization. He enjoyed the +confidence of teachers and scholars alike, for he was the soul of +honor, and his word was the word of truth. His vacations were spent in +teaching in the common schools of Louisiana. Success always crowned +his efforts; his schools were usually full to overflowing. He taught +in the Sunday-schools and made himself useful in every form of +Christian service. On one occasion the school house was destroyed<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_79" id="Page_79">[Pg 79]</a></span> by +fire, but nothing daunted, the enthusiastic teacher rallied the +neighbors, and with them and the scholars he went into the woods, +chopped down the trees, hewed the logs, and in a few days replaced the +old building with a better, and the school went on more successfully +than ever.</p> + +<p>And so on till the end of his life, difficulties were faced bravely +and successfully. With the assistance of friends, a cork leg took the +place of the pole which he had lashed to the stump of his lost limb. +After completing the normal course, he took the usual course in +theology.</p> + +<p>On Vermillion Bay, not far from the Gulf Coast, and at the terminus of +a branch of the Southern Pacific Railroad, about twenty miles from +Bayou Teche, the stream that keeps green and beautiful the year round +that section of Louisiana which was first settled by the exiled +Acadians and made famous in Longfellow's "Evangeline," is a thriving +village. In the patois of the country the people are called "Cajians," +a corruption of Acadians. As a rule, they are non-progressive and +ignorant. But the spirit of modern progress, brought in on the +railroad, is putting new life into old customs.</p> + +<p>In this village just waking into its new life, a humble man of faith, +in the year 1885, organized a Congregational church. The organizer of +this new church, having only a limited education, soon found himself +at the end of his resources. The people were still hungry and still +unfed. One plants, another waters. Unknown to the people, and in his +own good way and time, God was preparing to answer their prayer for a +shepherd who could lead them into the green pastures and by the side +of quiet waters.</p> + +<p>The Arkansas lad, proud of the possession of his normal and +theological diplomas, and now ready for service, was sent by the A. M. +A. to this prosperous village in the beautiful Teche country. When Mr. +H. arrived in the fading twilight of a June evening, and looked over +the situation—a rude, unfinished edifice, a scattered congregation, +and a membership that had diminished almost to the vanishing +point—for the first time he began to have serious doubts whether +after all he had not mistaken his calling. After much searching, only +ten or twelve discouraged members could be found. Neither party was +unduly impressed with the other. His doubt that he could do anything +for the church was probably fully respected by the members as they +looked him over and took his measure. The thoughts that came to him +that night as he lay upon his restless and dreamless pillow, were +decidedly Jonah-like. Nor were the means lacking to follow the example +of that ancient prophet. Ships lay at anchor in Vermillion Bay ready +to carry him out into the gulf and the great sea beyond. The question +what he should eat and drink, and wherewithal he should be clothed, +seemed to justify his flight. He was now learning that missionary +service is a fine thing to talk about in prayer meetings and +missionary gatherings, but that the reality often possesses a stern +and forbidding countenance. Nor was much reflection needed to show him +that though the ships might take him away from the<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_80" id="Page_80">[Pg 80]</a></span> place of duty, +they could not take him away from duty itself; that it were better to +bear poverty and privation than to bear a guilty conscience.</p> + +<p>It is always darkest before day. In a few weeks an ordaining council +has assembled, his old pastor and theological teacher being among the +number. The harvest was ripe, waiting for the reapers to put in the +sickle, and what began as ecclesiastical council ended in a gracious +revival. The Arkansas lad was now a minister; the dream of his boyhood +was rapidly fulfilling.</p> + +<p>Three years and a half passed. The field which at first seemed so +barren of promises had proved to be rich in opportunities. The +Louisiana Congregational Association holds its annual meeting with +him. His old pastor sends three other teachers. One of them, the wife +of "the Boss," returns with the other members of the ordaining council +to see what progress has been made.</p> + +<p>Yes, this must be the place; for the railroad stops here, and yonder +is Vermillion Bay, and the anchored ships. This, too, must be the +young pastor; his limp betrays his identity, but the face, whose pure +native hue three years ago was darkened by the cloud of doubt is now +wreathed in smiles. Here, too, is the church, the same, yet not the +same; its former disfigured and unwashed face now shines in a new coat +of paint; the unfinished and leaky bell-tower has been repaired and +beautified; and those old benches, apparently designed for those +condemned to do penance, have been replaced by comfortable modern +seats, so that the worshipper's attention is no longer diverted from +the sermon by the painful consciousness of his physical sufferings.</p> + +<p>But these changes, excellent in themselves, are by no means the +highest test of these years of faithful and consecrated service. The +twelve members with whom the new pastor began, have been nearly +sextupled; the Sunday-school has been organized, enlarged and +developed; a flourishing Christian Endeavor Society started; and right +conceptions of practical righteousness enforced. The pastor's +conception of his ministry includes a practical interest in education, +and since his advent an increasing stream of young people has been +flowing to Straight University. Thrifty himself, his contagious +enthusiasm has not only affected his own flock, but the community +generally, filling them with ambition to save their humble earnings, +and become owners of their own homes, and send their children to +school.</p> + +<p>The esteem in which Mr. H. is held by the best white people of the +town was well illustrated at the recent meeting of the State +Association. They not only crowded into the church, filling every +available space for standing, but stood outside at the windows for +hours in earnest attention, in the chilly night air. So great had +their interest become that the last night of the Association, one +white man offered the pastor any price for a reserved seat for himself +and lady friends, and the town representative wrote him a polite note +asking<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_81" id="Page_81">[Pg 81]</a></span> for a seat for himself and family, and the next day the white +people offered to procure the courthouse, that we might have a larger +place for our meeting.</p> + +<p>Newspapers and magazines are teeming, nowadays, with articles claiming +that our people's supreme need is industrially trained men to indicate +the road to prosperity. We gladly concede that there is need enough +and room enough for such men, but we part company with these advocates +when they intimate that we have too many liberally educated men.

Thomas Fortune, Editor of +the <i>New York Age</i>, one of the bright papers published by colored men, +stated at a recent meeting that the race problem, instead of being +solved in the South, is being intensified by the present condition of +things. He deplored the fact of the black man being excluded by the +labor unions from earning an honest living, and, while the poor white +people are employed in mills and factories of the cities, the black +man is left to till the soil. He is barred out from manual labor and +in many cases must either "starve or steal." This despised individual +who "befo' de war," performed all the labor, is now hardly able to +earn a living. Yet, for all that, Mr. Fortune is confident that in the +future a "monstrosity" is coming.

Whenever I intimated that my presence seemed +like an intrusion, poor Uncle Elias always said, 'No, I like to have +you here; it strengthens me.' And when I was not there, he sent to +have me come. It was just the sympathy he felt. He was sure of that, +for I loved her, too. Through it all Elias had been lovely, a constant +wonder to me in the strength of his beautiful faith which never +faltered for a moment. Again and again in those last hours, his voice +led in prayer as we stood around her bedside, and it seemed the +spontaneous overflow of his soul.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_82" id="Page_82">[Pg 82]</a></span> And in the accompanying hymn each +time, he also led. The last one which he gave out, only a few minutes +before the faint breathing ceased, was 'Praise God—', the doxology, +(as it is in the Dakota, of course).

GEORGE W. REED, FORT YATES, N. D.</div> + +<p>The missionaries' correspondence begins to bring inquiries concerning +an Indian uprising. With the war news are mingled expressions of fear +that the Indians will be only too ready to seize upon the opportunity +to avenge fancied wrongs. Most of the soldiers have been withdrawn +from the frontier posts. In regard to the Sioux, those who know them +best have no fear. They recognize the progress made by them in the +last ten years. Too many of them have become followers of the Prince +of Peace. These ten years of splendid school training have given us a +new type of young men and women, who have more of home love and who +are beginning to think for themselves. The majority are no longer +roused to action by the harangue of a petty chief. The day of the +chief is rapidly passing away. The thinker and not the talker is +becoming the leader.</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_83" id="Page_83">[Pg 83]</a></span></p><p>There must be convincing proof of a good cause and of beneficial +results before another Indian war is undertaken under the most +favorable circumstances. In territory there is nothing to be gained. +They cling tenaciously to what they have, but they are not grasping +for more, for they realize that their vast hunting grounds have been +lost to them forever. The young men and women in going half across the +continent to Carlisle and Hampton, being educated there and in summer +homes in the East, come back impressed with the largeness of the +country, the prosperity and vast numerical superiority of the people. +They care not to war against so strong a foe.</p> + +<p>There is an uprising of the Indians, however, which is being too +slowly recognized. They are slowly but surely rising above +superstition and ignorance, yes, even above indolence. The old roving, +restless, tramp-like spirit has not wholly disappeared. Some are still +living only a stomach level life, with apparently no thought of head +or heart. The old Indian life is self-centered, hence selfish, ever +gathering to itself, never giving out, hence stagnant, non-progressive.</p> + +<p>Religion has given the life a new center and indefinite breadth. The +Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man are truths which once +accepted must change the whole life, and he who teaches them to an +Indian becomes a friend and not an enemy, and becomes loved for what +he brings and not hated for what he has taken away. The Indian and the +white man have gone into partnership in building churches. The Indian +has been giving liberally to missions outside of his own little land.</p> + +<p>The progress in educational work has been marked in the last decade. +Today every healthy boy and girl over six years of age is supposed to +be in school. More than half of these are for ten months of every year +in a boarding school, well cared for, well fed, well instructed. To me +one of the greatest evidences of progress is that so many of them +uncomplainingly—some eagerly—part with their young children during +these many months. The large majority of the parents have never +attended school a day in their lives, yet they make this large +sacrifice for the child's good. Ten years ago there was a dance house +in nearly every village, and the senseless gyrations were in progress +every week. The larger portion of the two weeks' rations was given to +the dancer's feast, and the half fed children were the sufferers. +Today there is not a dance house for the whole 90 miles along Grand +River.</p> + +<p>Ten years ago the first Indian returning with his bi-weekly rations +would invite his neighbors as they came home to help him eat in one +day, often in one meal, all this food. For the remainder of the two +weeks the family would be driven to live upon other feasts, or to the +fields for the wild turnip, the few berries or the plum. If four or +more feasts were called daily, the feasts gave way to famine before +the coming ration day. Often a week of feasting, then a week of +famine, became the rule. This state of things is becoming more and +more a thing of the past. Hospitality is as marked, but is not +carried<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_84" id="Page_84">[Pg 84]</a></span> to starvation extremes. Recently passing some trees in which +twelve or more years ago seven bodies were placed, and contrasting +this with the last funeral I attended, impressed upon me progress in +another line.</p> + +<p>Ten years ago last Jan. 12, a day made memorable by the great blizzard +which swept over our land with death and destruction, in the early +morning, long before daylight, I was aroused from slumber by a knock +at the door of our little log house on Oak Creek. One stops to think +twice before he jumps out of a warm bed when the temperature is out of +sight below zero in the room, the fire has gone out and a blizzard is +howling outside. The rapping at the door was continued till I opened +it. A rope was placed in my hand in which were two knots. They showed +the length and width of a coffin the man wished to make, and for which +he wanted lumber. I had only an old packing-case to give him. At +daylight, breakfastless, I went over to the tent and helped him make a +coffin from the case, a soap box and a small stable door. It was a +crude and weak affair. Ignorant of the language, I could only read +words of comfort from the Word of God and try to sing two Indian +hymns. Only a few of us stood about the grave, which the husband and +myself had dug.</p> + +<p>In the coffin had been placed dry crusts of bread, waste pieces of +meat, a rusty knife, fork and spoon. In the grave were first placed +some thick comfortables and a filthy pillow, on which the coffin, +warmly wrapped, was placed. Then over the mouth of the grave was laid +the broken tent poles, the tent covering folded and laid over, then a +great mound of earth. At the grave everything the family had was given +away. And this was only ten years ago. But how great an improvement on +the custom of laying the body on the top of a high hill, or in the +branches of a tree, or even leaving the top of the coffin even with +the surface of the ground, which has been done away with only in the +last twelve years.</p> + +<p>I have described one of the first funerals in the Indian country that +I remember. How different the funeral of one of our most faithful +women, Mrs. Mary Gilbert, who was buried from our crowded Grand River +Chapel April 17th. She had been a great sufferer for years, yet +patiently, uncomplainingly, bearing it all. Though in her last +sickness there was no hope of recovery, the most popular medicine man +was not sent for. The suffering woman was not put out in a tent to +die. Gratefully did she receive the tender nursing of the white lady +missionary and the skillful school physician. Tenderly was she cared +for to the last in a comfortable bed, in a clean, tidy house. The body +was not hurried with unseemly haste to the burial. Through the +darkness of night a messenger rode 30 miles to have the agency +carpenter make a coffin, neatly cover it with black cloth and white +metal trimmings. Through the darkness of another night was it carried +back. The one service of the Sabbath day was the funeral service. +Crowds gathered at the house at an early hour. The long procession of<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_85" id="Page_85">[Pg 85]</a></span> +wagons was nearly two hours in reaching the chapel. Beautiful and +simple was the service, and the closing words of the sorrowing husband +will long be remembered, as he spoke of his wife's noble work and +trusting faith in the Master. Through the parted lines of the 80 +school children was borne the casket, followed by the parents of these +children and others to the number of over 200, most of whom in the +last eight years have found Christ as an ever-present Saviour, and +have learned to know Him as "the resurrection and the life." In this +belief they gathered about this grave, and from it they went to their +homes to live re-consecrated lives.</p> + +<p>I have but hinted at progress in these illustrations from their life. +May the churches recognize this new type of Indian uprising, this +progress in many ways, by larger gifts for building much needed +churches, and in sending out new messengers of the Gospel of peace. +The Indians seem ready to do their share, are we ready to do ours?</p> + + + +<hr class="section" /> +<h2>The Chinese.</h2> + +<hr class="quarter" /> +<h3>THE CALIFORNIA CHINESE MISSION.</h3> + + +<p>I am requested to give a "general view of our work in about 1000 +words:" and I attempt the task. The story is elastic; it bears +compression. Perhaps it can be brought within the allotted space. I +have often undertaken to tell it in five minutes, premising, however, +always that to do this adequately would require more than five hours.</p> + +<p>I. <span class="smcap">Figures that will not lie</span>. The first half of the present fiscal +year ended March 3. The statistical reports for these six months are +the best we have had for more than ten years. The total number of +pupils enrolled in our 19 mission schools thus far is 970: about as +many as in the whole year '95 to '96. The average membership month by +month has been about 430, and the average attendance 234. Every month +has been fraught with saving light and love for some dark souls. I +cannot give an exact statement, but I think that nearly 50 conversions +have been reported, making a total, since our work began, of fully +1,600.</p> + +<p>II. <span class="smcap">The new mission house</span>. It has cost us, finished and furnished (so +far as it is yet furnished), fully $19,500. It is a fine building in +an admirable location, the best that could be found, overlooking a +pretty square, yet standing just within the border line of San +Francisco's Chinatown. It is four stories high, with a dry basement +and a flat roof, and it is utilized on these six floors. The Noyes +Memorial Chapel on the first floor is an attractive place of worship +seating easily 250, and is used on week days for the Central School, +which is, doubtless, the largest Chinese week-day school in our +country. Rev. Jee Gam, with his large family, has several rooms as a +sort of parsonage. Other Christian families occupy apartments. +Homeless<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_86" id="Page_86">[Pg 86]</a></span> young men rent some of our best rooms, and use them for +social purposes and as a retreat from the wickedness of almost every +other gathering place in Chinatown. Most of these young men were +Christians when they came to occupy these rooms. One among those who +were not Christians has already turned to Christ, the first fruits in +this our new garden of the Lord. We owe $13,250 on this building, of +which $2,000 ought to be paid at once.</p> + +<div class="figright" style="width: 259px;"> +<img src="images/img92.jpg" width="259" height="422" alt="New Mission House." title="" /> +<span class="caption">New Mission House.</span> +</div> + +<p>III. <span class="smcap">Our work for mothers and children</span> is to be distinguished from the +Rescue work among the female slaves bought and sold for the worst of +purposes, who constitute a large majority of all the Chinese women in +California. This latter work our Presbyterian and Methodist Missions +have been doing for many years at large expense and with good results. +They were prepared to take care of all who would come to them, and we +did not enter into that field, for we never have used missionary money +for the purpose of competition with other denominations, and we never +will. The mothers living in wedlock and their children constitute our +field, and wherever we have missions this is carried on with more or +less activity according to the number of families and the welcomes +extended. In Los Angeles, Marysville, San Francisco and Watsonville, +there are visitors giving to this undertaking so much of their time as +to make it necessary to assist in their support. I doubt if any human +beings anywhere on earth have more hindrances to overcome, more lions +to face, more superstitions to be laid aside in coming to Christ, than +have the Chinese women. The tyranny of heathen husbands, the scorn of +neighbors, the vague dread of untold calamities which the ghosts of +the dead will inflict upon them if not duly worshipped, the stories +told them of children kidnapped, eyes put out, hurtful spells thrown +upon people by foreign devils; all these and other obstacles must be +met and overcome. But Christian kindness will overcome everything if +persistently shown, and I believe the time is coming when the harvest +among these Chinese mothers will exceed,<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_87" id="Page_87">[Pg 87]</a></span> in proportion to the numbers +within reach of us, any reaped elsewhere. I would like to go into the +details of this comparatively new work but my limits forbid it.</p> + +<p>IV. <span class="smcap">The Chinese population</span> in America is, I believe, increasing. I +cannot prove this, and I state it only as an impression. The Exclusion +Law at its best is a leaky dike, and the tide washing up against it +leaps through and sometimes overflows. How this comes to pass I have +not space to tell, but while I do not believe that <i>all</i> men have +their price, I suspect that some Custom House officials have not +always been proof against temptation, and are not now. And perjury in +the view of a non-christian Chinese is a venial offense except when so +clumsily committed as to lead to detection. But, no matter how these +new comers get here, once among us they are fish for our fishing, and +when one of them becomes a Christian and tells me he has been in the +country five or six or eight years, I do not feel bound to make him +confess the method of his entrance. He was a heathen then. There is no +probability whatever that the work of our mission will cease for lack +of material to work upon, till long after the present workers have +passed to their reward.</p> + +<p>V. <span class="smcap">The finances</span>. Under this head the tale is soon told. Appropriation +from the A. M. A. exhausted. The last check for this fiscal year from +the office in New York came to me on the 1st of March. The bills for +April are provided for, however. As to May, June, July and August, +bills, which if the work were done as it should be, could not even by +closest economy, be brought below $4,000, we wait for the payment of +upon God and upon those whom he has made to be the almoners of His +bounty. Our Chinese will probably give about $1,500. Who will give the +rest?</p> + +<div class="right"><span class="smcap">W. C.

The will should be attested by three witnesses. + + * * * * * + +THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY. + +VOL. LII. JUNE, 1898. NO. 2. + + * * * * * + +THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT. + + +The outlook for the American Missionary Association while hopeful, yet +appeals most earnestly for increased contributions. The debt has been +steadily reduced. At the Annual Meeting in 1895, it was reported to be +$96,147. At the Annual Meeting in 1896 it was $66,572. At the last +Annual Meeting it was $54,945, and now at the close of eight months of +this fiscal year, May 31st, it is $39,527--a reduction from the +highest figure above of $56,620. This reduction is largely due to the +cutting down of expenditures, which has now reached a limit beyond +which no friends of these needy races would wish it to pass. For these +last eight months the total receipts show an increase of $25,800 in +legacies, and at the same time a decrease of $22,800 in collections. + +In view of these facts the duty is plain. Further reductions should +not be made. The income from legacies is an uncertain quantity, and an +increase of contributions is the only hope that can be given. Better +times are coming, the responsibility to the poor of our land is +urgent, and the generous response of philanthropic and Christian +givers alone can meet the emergency. + + * * * * * + +SUCCESS IS COSTLY. + + +When the early Abolitionists entered upon their contest against +slavery, they found that they had no holiday business on hand. Some +faltered, but others grew stronger as they realized the greatness of +the conflict before them. They saw that their warfare would cost much +in reputation, money, and even life itself. They succeeded, but only +because they were willing to pay the cost. + +When the next form of the conflict came--the terrible Civil War--the +cost was so great as to be without a parallel in human history. That +great cost was paid and success was won--a crowning success that +could only come because the full cost was paid. And now the third part +of the struggle confronts us--the redemption of the millions of blacks +still in the bondage of poverty, ignorance and vice. This is the +culmination of these past conflicts. If this be not successful, the +rest has been in part in vain. Four millions of slaves were freed, and +now four millions of their descendants are as helpless and hopeless as +they--as great a curse to themselves and as dangerous an element to +the nation. Now this great and crowning struggle is upon us. Other +interests may for a time hide it from view, but it must be met, and +here again, only that which costs will win. It is to be hoped that +prosperity will return and make it easier to raise the needed funds. +But continued depression will not hinder, for, as in the past, so +here, self-denial and self-sacrifice will bear the burden which God +has imposed, and the result will be success. Our appeal, therefore, +for aid in this great conflict is not based on a mere hope of a better +financial outlook in the nation, but on the consecration and +benevolence of those who are ready to win a success that costs. + + * * * * * + +WAR AND ITS RESULTS. + + +If war is simply to kill people and destroy property, it is an unmixed +calamity. But often there are great and valuable results. Our War of +Independence gave birth to this nation and to its amazing +possibilities. The civil war confirmed the unity of the nation and +wiped away the blot and curse of slavery. The present war with Spain +is waged for the humane purpose of delivering Cuba, our near neighbor, +from manifold forms of oppression, crippling its life, hindering its +industries and impoverishing its people. It is earnestly to be hoped +that the results of the struggle will secure deliverance from these +evils. + +Other blessings are already beginning to be realized. The war unites +the North and the South as they have not been for thirty years. Our +diverse peoples are united in enthusiasm under a common flag. The +colored people of the country invited to join the armies are yet in +some portions of the country received coldly or even with taunts and +abuse. But they bear it all cheerfully, devoting themselves to the +interests of our common country. Two brief extracts from papers edited +and published by colored men give evidence of their patriotism and +forbearance under these trials. + +From the _Fisk Herald_, Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn.: + +"The duty of the colored citizens of America in the impending conflict +between our country and Spain is clear, and we are exceedingly glad to +note that they are eager to go to the front to uphold the United +States in its just demands upon Spain for the freedom of Cuba. No +people ought to sympathize more with the oppressed than the negroes of +America." + +From the _Christian Recorder_ of the A. M. E. Church: + +"At all times the colored citizens of this country have proven loyal +to the Government, and while they smart under the unjust treatment +accorded them here, at no time and under no circumstances have they +shown a lack of patriotism when the conditions demand it. + +"In the present crisis the colored citizens are maintaining their past +record for loyalty and devotion, and though our soldiers of color have +been insulted and subjected to great indignities while on their way to +defend their country, still their patriotism is not lessened nor their +ardor cooled." + + * * * * * + +THE COLORED PEOPLES OF CUBA. + + +We understand that about a half a million of the people of Cuba are +Negro or mulatto, making nearly one-third of the population, and we +learn that there is no such race antagonism between these Negroes and +the Creoles as there is with us. The Maceos, who are among the finest +specimens of patriotic manhood on the island, are mulattoes. If now, +Cuba should be made free and become a part of these United States, +these colored people would claim the sympathies and services of the +American Missionary Association in giving to them those educational +and religious advantages so promptly and freely given to the +emancipated blacks of our own land. Such a service would bind these +two peoples together and aid in uplifting both to the intelligence and +privileges of free Christian citizens. + + * * * * * + +MISSIONARIES MURDERED IN WEST AFRICA. + + +It is with heartfelt sorrow that we chronicle the murder of six +missionaries in West Africa. They were sent by the Society of United +Brethren in Christ, whose central office is in Dayton, O., and which +has for many years carried forward very successful work in the Sherbro +country, Sierra Leone, West Africa. This mission was contiguous to the +Mendi Mission, founded by the A. M. A., and worked with it in +Christian harmony and fellowship. When the Association retired from +foreign mission work, the Mendi Mission was turned over to the Sherbro +Mission, and aid was furnished for a time with funds from our board. + +The slaughter of these devoted missionaries was brought about in +consequence of a tax on houses or huts imposed by the Sierra Leone +government. The savage people in the remoter districts pushed forward +a resistance to this tax, and, confounding all white men and women +together as responsible, committed these murders and destroyed mission +property. Redress may come for property destroyed and other +missionaries may take the place of those who have fallen, but we mourn +for those who have been martyrs in the cause of the Master. + + * * * * * + +WORKING, THINKING, WRITING. + + +To _print_ a newspaper, though it be a small one, requires dexterous +hand work. To _publish_ such a paper demands business gifts to secure +means and to plan the work. To _edit_ such a paper calls for readable +and racy writing. Few forms of business require a greater variety of +manual, skilful and facile ability. For these reasons we are glad to +find that in nearly all our larger schools in the South, monthly +papers are printed and published--with little or no expense to the +Association. The printing office teaches a useful and profitable trade +to the student, the editing is usually done by the professors and +students, and the publishing is managed so that by the aid of +advertising and paid subscriptions, the expense is mainly met. These +periodicals contain much valuable information. The professors +contribute well-written papers, the students furnish articles or +copies of orations or essays delivered on public occasions, and the +graduates write sketches of their life struggles and successes since +leaving the institutions. Well selected items from the world outside +enrich these pages, and brief, personal paragraphs give varied and +useful local information. We present below a partial list of these +publications, giving their name, place of publication, size, etc. + +THE FISK HERALD, published by the literary societies of Fisk +University, Nashville, Tenn., is a pamphlet of 24 pages, with an +editor-in-chief and assistants selected from the students. The price +is 75 cts. a year. + +THE OLIO is published by the printing department of Straight +University, New Orleans, La. This also is a pamphlet, of 20 pages. +Price, 25 cts. a year. + +TALLADEGA COLLEGE RECORD, published by the printing department of +Talladega College, Talladega, Ala., is a four page sheet well printed, +edited by students appointed for the purpose. + +TOUGALOO NEWS.

BEARD. + + +It is my lot on the routes of less frequented travel to fall in with a +class of my fellowmen distinctively known as "Commercial men." It is +their business to be both inquisitive and communicative. While waiting +at some little tavern or railroad station often the right hand of +fellowship has been extended to me with the question "What is your +line?" or "I see you have no trunks, how do you carry your samples?" +They do not always quite understand "our line" when I tell them that +our samples have learned to carry themselves and even to carry others. +Then I am called to explain how they began their intelligent life with +us, how we took the raw material and in process of time sent out our +products from our schools and institutions with their thought of life +widened, with enlarged mental vision and the great majority of them +with hopeful religious characters and purposes. Sometimes these fellow +travelers hear, and sometimes I marvel because of their unbelief. If +our readers could see our samples as we see them in their varied +vocations and places they would not soon forget them. + +Not long since in Alabama I came across certain ones which are types; +and as types I present them. The environment which conditions their +work and gives the color of it must needs be included. Situated among +the hills of Eastern Alabama is a thickly settled community of people +about two-thirds of whom are colored. It is in the County of Elmore, +and bears the Indian name of Kowaliga. Being near the corner of two +adjoining counties, it is a rural centre from which large numbers of +children can be reached who ought to be educated, and who are anxious +to "get an education" as their one chance in life, a chance which so +far has been beyond them. + +Kowaliga settlement is remote from any railroad and consists wholly of +plantations. These plantations were formerly tilled by slaves, but +since freedom came to those who gave their unrequited labor, the rich +white planters have become poor and many of their sons now may be seen +themselves following their plows, tilling the fields and driving mules +instead of men. The country is fertile and repays intelligent tillage. + +The American Missionary Association has been applied to repeatedly for +help in this settlement of Kowaliga. Under the lead of two young +college graduates, both of whom I had met while they were students at +Fisk University, the colored people with great sacrifice had +contributed building material and labor in the construction of a very +substantial two-story building with attic and basement, which, +however, is yet incomplete and unfurnished. The people with few +exceptions, are extremely poor and very ignorant, and have an +imperfect idea of what a school means with its proper appointments and +teachers. + +[Illustration: KOWALIGA INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.] + +In answer to the most urgent appeals of the two young educators, I +arranged in my recent journeying in the South for a personal +investigation. One of the former student acquaintances came for me in +his "one horse shay" and with him as my courier and companion I rode +through this rural district. I found that the white farmers are +gradually leaving their plantations while the colored people are as +gradually becoming land owners. Abandoned farms, which through poor +culture have not paid the farmers for cultivation, can easily be +secured by industrious colored people who are willing to deny +themselves and work hard for an independent start in life. + +The father of the young man whom I accompanied on my long ride through +the country is one of these who has already won his success. His +experience and achievement are typical in illustrating the trends and +the probabilities. + +Mr. J. A. Benson--at this present time forty-six years of age--was +born a slave three miles from the great plantation which he now owns. +When his owner's estate was divided he was a part of the property +which fell to an heir in Talladega, Alabama. There as property he was +sent, and there he worked as a slave until emancipation came. At the +age of nineteen years, with a hundred dollars saved from his earnings +as a free man he returned to his birthplace and purchased on credit +160 acres of land. His first year of crops gave him a handsome profit +and soon he was able to pay for this land. Again he bought land, and +again more year by year. Now I found him with his new house of twelve +rooms nearly completed on the site of his old one, the construction of +which was under the direction of a Negro contractor whose leading +workman was a white man; a native of that same community. The mason +who did the masonry was also a Southern white man. While engaged on +this "job" both white men ate at the same table with the owner. In the +"Merchant of Venice" we read of one who said, "I will buy with you, +sell with you, talk with you, walk with you and so following, but I +will not eat with you." Nevertheless there are times when "Necessity +knows no law" and this was one of the times. It was the common +opinion, however, that the excellent mason was much more expeditious +than is common about his job, though he was working by the day. His +work was completed in about one-half the usual time allowed for it. He +stayed, not upon the order of his going. Doubtless a second experience +would come with less self conquest than the first. + +Mr. Benson began his independent life with his unpaid farm of 160 +acres. Now he owns 3,000 acres of land paid for and without +encumbrance, with the virtual ownership of a fine stream, at some +points 500 feet wide, which for five miles runs through his extensive +plantations. On this stream he has a brick yard, a saw mill, a grist +mill and a cotton gin and compressing mill combined in one and +operated by the water of this stream. The farm is worked on shares +chiefly, the owner furnishing the land and the stock, the laborers +dividing the products half and half. + +[Illustration: KOWALIGA CREEK--THROUGH MR. BENSON'S PLANTATIONS.] + +The leases are taken by a dozen responsible and experienced farmers, +who sub-contract with the laborers under their immediate supervision. +Of the 3,000 acres, one-half is devoted to corn, cotton, cane, etc.; +500 are used for pasturage and 1,000 furnish ample supply of pine, oak +and hickory timber for the greedy teeth of his saw mill and the +willing embrace of his planing mill. He has cows, cattle, mules, +horses, barns and farm implements to meet all necessities. His teams +go regularly to Montgomery markets and return with stores for the +forty families who live upon his lands and work them, and for the +community who purchase of him what things they have. Besides his +possessions in land, Mr. Benson has been able to loan to his white +neighbors some $6,000, which are secured by mortgages upon their +farms. They are running behind and he is running ahead. While I was +the guest of this man, opposite me at the table dined a white man who +was engaged on the carpentry of the new house. He was a native +Southerner but he showed no evidence of social injury, and if he did +his carpentry work as thoroughly as he did that of the table he +certainly earned his wages. + +Mr. Benson has managed with his uncommon ability to pick up education +enough to achieve and handle successfully and shrewdly these large +interests; not only to know their details but also to realize their +significance and somewhat of the larger world beyond his own +dominions. The success of this self-made colored man may be somewhat +exceptional in degree, but it is not at all phenomenal. The story with +the variations of personality and place could be told a hundred times +over among the colored people who began thirty years ago without a +foot of land or a dollar of money. + +Among the colored people in this rural community this man is one. For +the most part life has gone on for the others without much +advancement. They have not been left without a certain kind of school +for their children taught for three months out of twelve chiefly by +students who are themselves getting an education in institutions +sustained by Northern benevolence; but the teaching has been without +continuity and insufficient to make much impress on character. This +far-seeing colored man realized this, and his own influence in life +might have been greater if chances had come to him in his earlier +days. He has, therefore, given his son a liberal education at college +and has daughters now in the same path. + +When the young man returned from his studies with Christian love in +his heart to assist his father in business he took in the situation +that there must be a school here commensurate with the needs, where +the colored boys and girls might receive the blessings of an education +large and thorough enough and of such a positive Christian quality as +should change the life of the community. In some aspects it sadly +needs radical change. + +He called to his side one of his mates at Fisk University--a graduate +of the college department--under the conviction that for such work as +this there was a call for a thorough as well as a technical education; +that there must be breadth of mental knowledge and mental vision as +well as skill of hand. The young college man with his diploma in his +pocket heard the call, as scores of samples from our institutions in +our great system of schools are hearing theirs every year; and when +once there these two young men began what is to be the KOWALIGA +ACADEMIC AND INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL. They each had taken industrial +training enough with their studies to know what they were about. They +sought good counsel from others and thus the main school building was +begun. Mr. Benson, the father, furnished a sufficient allotment of +land for the site, the timber and the lumber which his mills sawed and +planed, and which his teams carted. The Samples supervised and the +young people and old wrought with their own hands. Generous friends +from the North lent their names to the undertaking and from and +through them contributions came in amounts sufficient to encourage but +not large enough to complete. From these were named an advisory board +of friends who with an equal number of colored people in the +neighborhood were called trustees. + +These are the conditions in which I introduce our Samples. It was at +this stage of the proceedings when these children of the American +Missionary Association called to us for the second and third time, +"Come over and help us." We came, we saw, and they conquered. How +could we do other than honor their faith and patience with our "watch +and care," and with a little faith on our part that help enough would +come to us to make their own helpfulness successful. Here in the +darkness these light bearers will give light and save life and they +will do this better because light has been given to them and they +themselves have been saved. + +[Illustration: PROF.

A Sample.] + +I have given this story of Samples because it is our latest. Our +picture would be out of perspective, however, should it lead any to +the conclusion that this typical illustration of conditions and work +is other than a sample in itself. Let it be known that this is what is +going on in the work of the American Missionary Association constantly +year by year, every year, as it reduplicates itself in every State of +the South. + +Above ten thousand of these Samples are examples. They have taken the +torches lighted at our fires and have borne the light of their +knowledge on to others in darkness. They are doing it this year. They +will do it next year. There are entire counties in the South in which +our schools have supplied nine-tenths of all the colored teachers. +These teachers, graduates of Normal Schools and higher institutions, +are good samples, making full proof of their enlarged powers in the +Christian upbuilding of their own race. The man who thinks leads. + +Samples, also, in strong ministers of Christ, good and true, who are +in "our line," planting little churches and developing little churches +into larger ones, bringing dependent churches forward into +self-support, and leading the colored people out and away from +old-time superstition and evil ways into the pure life of intelligent +faith. + +[Illustration: PROF. JAMES L. MURRAY. + +Born a slave. Educated by his own endeavors. Taught his way through +College. Was graduated at Fisk University. Principal of the Albany +Normal School, A. M. A. A Sample.] + +In the more conspicuous places of life we find our Samples. Some of +their "examples" are already on the shelves of science in our +libraries, and are hanging in honor in the galleries of art. Not a few +of our graduates fill Professors' chairs. Many are already teachers of +teachers. They believe that the Negro has intellect as well as hands. +They believe in the development of manhood and womanhood along all +lines, and do not believe that an elementary education for an +elementary people is enough to save a race. They have been taught in +our schools that our thought of education is that the knowledge which +is of most worth "is that which stands in closet relation to the +highest forms of the activity of the spirit created in the image of +Him who holds nature and man and life alike in the hollow of His +hand." Our idea of the educational process is that it is vital and not +merely technical; that it is indeed but another name for the unfolding +and growth of the human spirit. It has not, therefore, been along a +single line of material helpfulness, and its ends are not reached with +mere technical skill. + +Our supreme purpose is "to give light and to save life," but we have +never tried to save disembodied spirits. We have written Christianity +large over and in all of our work in the school rooms, in the manual +training shops, in the farm instruction, because we are sure there is +no recuperative energy in the colored race, nor in any other, +sufficient to save itself. There is nothing so practical to uplift men +or races as Christianity. Said Archdeacon Tiffany the other day at +Yale, "A prevailing idea is, to create an environment is to develop +Christian life. Put people in the right places and they will be all +right, a statement, however, which experience has denied from the +Garden of Eden until now. Environment is a great factor but it does +not furnish the life impulse. Recognize the help of environment but do +not depend on it. How often environment does not make character but +may retard it." Our work strikes its roots far deeper than in +externals. Nevertheless, Christianity assumes intelligence and depends +upon it. With Christian character and intelligence we hear the call +for technical skill and provide for it in our industrial annexes side +by side with our work in mental development. Hence you will find the +Samples "in our line" as easily as a commercial traveler finds the +stores which handle his goods. + +[Illustration: INDUSTRIAL ROOM, ORANGE PARK, FLA. A SAMPLE.] + +We have industrial samples also in educated farmers, architects, +carpenters, masons, contractors, merchants and bankers, who in the +industrial competitions of life are proving the mettle of their +pasture in the fields where they were fed and trained. While we were +teaching them first of all to be larger and better in mind, stronger +in heart and will, teaching them to have a large and intelligent faith +in God, and an honest following of Christ, we have taught them at the +same time how to till the soil wisely, how to excel in the trades, how +to keep their accounts accurately and how to have accounts to keep. We +would like to have the great American Missionary Association +constituency see these samples as we have seen them and do see them, +not alone in pulpits, in schools and on farms and in trades, but also +in commercial life and in places of extended influence. We should like +to show our Samples in their Christian homes, homes which are not made +of brick and mortar and boards and shingles, but which are only +sheltered by these; homes where there is educated intelligence, where +there are books and thoughtful minds that can appreciate them; homes +where there is refinement, and where samples are examples of exalted +life which in itself stimulates and uplifts life all around--these are +centres of untold good. The light streams out from them day by day. +They are the leaven of a rising race. I go not anywhere in towns or in +rural places in any Southern state where I fail to find such samples +and examples which in their various ways are thus holding forth the +word of life and justifying the farsighted wisdom and benevolence +which planted the system of American Missionary schools upon "our +line" and which in sustaining them is building up the Kingdom of God +on the Master's line as it builds up thousands of men and women +towards the mind and heart of God. + +[Illustration: COLLEGE GRADUATES. SAMPLES.] + +[Illustration: SMALL SAMPLES, _En Route_ TO THE TWENTIETH CENTURY.] + +The little people pictured above are "children's children." Parents +who came under our care thirty years ago, but one remove from all that +was wrapped up in hopeless slavery, can now give their children better +chances than they themselves could secure in the early days of +freedom. In our great system of schools one may look into thousands of +such earnest faces turned inquiringly toward the twentieth century. +What the coming days shall hold for them and through them for the +kingdom of Christ is in good part to be answered in positive Christian +schools, where character building is made the supreme foundation for +future homes and opportunities. These "children's children" began +their climbing on a higher round than did their parents, and there are +more of them to climb-- + + "More and more, more and more, + Still there's more to follow." + + * * * * * + +COMMENCEMENT AT STRAIGHT UNIVERSITY, LA. + +BY REV. G. W. HENDERSON, D.D. + + +Our school year, which closed May 25, has been crucial in many +respects. It has tested the attachment of the scholars to the school +on one hand, and their desire for an education and the willingness of +themselves and of their parents to make sacrifices to this end on the +other; for the fever and the rigid quarantine delayed the opening in +the fall, paralyzed business, and made it difficult for parents and +students to earn the means not only to meet school expenses, but even +to obtain the ordinary comforts of life. But, notwithstanding these +discouragements, our old scholars remained loyal and patiently awaited +the opening, and the attendance has been good--that in the higher +grades coming up to the average figure. How much solicitude, earnest +planning and brave self-sacrifice all this involved no one who has not +lived in the midst of the people can realize; no one but the +All-Knowing can understand. + +The list of our various exercises is somewhat long, yet each +represents some special department of our work, or is a manifestation +of some special form of its manifold activities, and for this reason +cannot fail to be of interest to our readers. + +Junior Exhibition, May 4, was the first exercise on the program; two +weeks later came the Recital by the Department of Instrumental Music. +The Address, Sunday morning, May 22d, to the Christian Associations by +Rev. J. M. Loring, D.D., of this city, and the Baccalaureate, Sunday +night, by President Atwood, were both greatly enjoyed by the large +audiences that came to hear. + +A feature of growing power and usefulness is the Sumner and Alpha +Literary Societies, whose anniversary is always an occasion of great +interest. The able and eloquent address this year was given by Rev. L. +H. Reynolds, D.D., the successful pastor of the leading African +Methodist Church in this city. He made his auditors feel that, though +their lot had many hardships, it also had many compensating +advantages, and that to the educated and consecrated youth of the race +the field for usefulness and distinction was large and inviting. + +The Class Day Exercise, Monday night, came up in point of interest and +attraction to the usual high standard. The Grammar Department had the +right of way Tuesday 1 P. M. Certificates admitting them to the Normal +and College Preparatory Departments were given to forty-two bright +boys and girls. And truly, the boys in their neat fitting suits and +the girls in their white gowns presented a beautiful sight. The +history of their efforts to reach this landmark in their educational +life is full of pathos and romance. Observe that girl sitting yonder +on the right. Her happy face glows with the interest of the occasion; +her dress is neat and cleanly. Yet that girl left the washroom or +laundry when she came to school this morning, and will return to it +when the school day closes. Back from the street and enclosed by +larger buildings and shut out from the blessed sunlight and pure air +is the house she calls her home. She is the oldest of five or six +children. The hard worked mother, who seldom leaves the wash-tub +except to retire to her weary couch, is only able to keep this girl in +school by the most rigid economy and self-denial, and when she has +finished her course, then by her help the others may have a chance. + +This is one of many cases which the kind and faithful teacher has +discovered among her scholars. The lesson of it is that the race which +has such mothers, so patient, so self-sacrificing, is sure to rise, +and is worth taking some stock in by the friends of Christian +missions; nor need we be surprised to learn that out of a colored +voting population of 120,000 in Louisiana, nearly 39,000 have acquired +within thirty-five years the ability to read and write. + +The Alumni Association held their annual meeting Tuesday night and +listened to a bright oration by Miss Annie Feyer, class '97. + +And now let us look at the last scene in this drama of the closing +year at Central Church. It is the old story--old yet new and fresh in +its human element and its deep significance--of a packed house, and of +an attention so fixed and earnest that naught is heard during the +delivery of the pieces, though hundreds are standing, save the beating +of fifteen hundred fans against the warm air, and the clear +enunciation of the speakers, and the hearty, yet discriminating +applause. + +The various subjects treated reveal, as usual, interesting traits in +the characters of the speakers, some breathing aspirations after a +larger liberty, and a more rational conception of it, some revealing a +deep consciousness of life's noble obligations and splendid +opportunities, some insisting on independence of mind as the basis of +true manhood. The graduate from the department of theology pleaded for +character in the ministry to the manifest satisfaction of the +audience. Here and there were heard echoes of the troubled past, some +sensitiveness to present hardships was manifested, but the prevailing +tone was a willingness to take hold of life bravely and seriously, to +redress the wrong and to glorify the right. + +In beholding these ten graduates--six from the normal course, three +from the college preparatory and one from the theological--one could +not but compare the present with the not distant past, and rejoice in +the compensations of prudence. The proud father of one of the girls +who sat in the audience was once the body servant of Jefferson Davis. +The mother of one of the boys who acquitted himself with more than +usual ability came forward at the close of the exercises and looked +him in the face for several moments, too utterly happy to speak a +word. + +The exhibits of the industrial department as well as the work of the +grades, notwithstanding the shortness of the year, showed no sacrifice +of quality. + +Thus, in spite of many adverse circumstances, the year has been one of +signal blessing in all the departments; the religious life was never +sweeter or more earnest, the school was never more thoroughly +dominated by Christian motives and principles. President Atwood may +justly felicitate himself and his co-workers upon the good results +obtained. + + * * * * * + +COMMENCEMENT AT TOUGALOO UNIVERSITY, MISS. + +BY PRESIDENT FRANK G. WOODWORTH, D.D. + + +The commencement exercises on May 19th closed one of the most +memorable years in the history of the institution. Quarantine delayed +the opening of the year until November 23d, and on the next night the +girls' dormitory was destroyed by fire. These two things greatly +reduced the attendance, and of course the fire entailed a great many +inconveniences. The school has gone bravely on, however, and the year +is now looked back upon as one of the most satisfactory in work and +general results that has been seen. Students and teachers have labored +with unusual diligence, crowding nearly the full work of the usual +school year into six months. + +The year has been signalized by having a Freshman class, the first to +enter on college work. Four students have successfully completed the +year, and another class of the same size or larger is expected for +next year. + +The president preached the Baccalaureate sermon from Gen. 5:24. All +the graduates are Christians; all but two of the Academy, and +three-fourths of the grammar pupils of the year have been Christians. + +The annual concert always attracts much attention, and it has been a +problem what to do with the large crowds who attend. This year a +complimentary rehearsal was given on Monday evening to which friends +from Jackson were invited, a special train coming out on their behalf. +On Wednesday evening was the regular concert, and the room was again +crowded. A general program of fine selections was rendered, followed +by Rheinberger's "Clarice of Eberstein." Tougaloo's musical work is of +the highest order. At the graduating exercises on Thursday, nine young +people received diplomas of graduation from the Academy courses, five +of them young women. Four of the class expect to return for college +work, one to go on to college elsewhere, one to study medicine, one is +taking nurse training in a Chicago hospital, and the others expect to +teach. The spirit in which they go out is exemplified in the answer +made by one of them to the question, "What will you do if you fail to +get a school to teach this summer?" "Do what I can find. Dig, if need +be." A very similar answer was given by one of the most advanced young +women, except she said "Hoe corn or cotton" instead of "dig." The +higher education will hurt none who have that spirit. + +The annual address was delivered by President Barrett of the Jackson +College, and was a most helpful and stimulating utterance on the +"Value of Purpose." Brief addresses were made by prominent visitors, +among them several pastors of the white churches in Jackson, the +principal of the city schools, and Col. Charles E. Hooker, for many +years congressman from this district. His address was specially +interesting in the strong feeling of sympathy which it exhibited for +the work of Tougaloo and similar schools, coming as it did from a +public man of such prominence, of a slave-holding family and himself a +former slave owner. + +The industrial exhibit in one of the school rooms attracted very large +attention. It covered needle work, cookery, nurse-training, wood and +iron work, agriculture, and there was also a fine botanical exhibit. +While the manual training work has always made a fine appearance, it +was felt that this exhibit surpassed all that had preceded it. The +steel tools, made and tempered by students, were specially admired. + +It was matter of special gratulation that the work of excavation for +the foundation of the new dormitory, delayed because the Association +builder was elsewhere occupied, was well advanced. It is hoped that +the building will be nearing completion when the term begins on +September 28th next. + +It is sometimes said that colored students show little gratitude for +what aid is given to them. Many instances to the contrary are +continually occurring. One of the graduates of this year, a young +woman, left a note for the president to be read by him after she had +gone, which shows so much in several ways that a portion of it may +well be quoted here. "Since I have been coming to Tougaloo, I have had +quite a little help. Although it was a blessing from God, you are the +agent through whom it came. These few lines are to let you know that I +appreciate and thank you for your kindness. I haven't gained as much +as I would like to have done, yet I have this consolation, and it may +be encouraging to you, that I got as much as I could mentally, +physically and spiritually. Since my connection with this school, my +knowledge has been increased, false ideas have been corrected, truths +have been established, life broadened, desires multiplied, faith in +Christ increased, and I have been enabled to advance a few steps +toward my ideal. My greatest desire is to do as much for Christ as I +may among my fellow men." Who could show better results of education? +Does not aiding such a student pay? + + * * * * * + +DORCHESTER ACADEMY, MCINTOSH, GA. + +BY PROF. FREDERICK W. FOSTER. + + +The beginning of our Commencement Exercises occurred on Sunday +morning, May 15, when Rev. J. R. McLean, of Macon, preached an able +and instructive sermon to our graduating class. The speaker made very +apt and telling application of his subject, which, while especially +directed to the graduates, was good for all. + +The examinations in the various grades took place on Wednesday, 18th, +lasting through the day. They gave evidence of good, thorough work on +the part of pupils and teachers, and that our school is moving upward +all along the line. Much interest was manifested in the recitations +and discussions by patrons and visiting friends. Although many of our +visitors were unlettered people, they showed that they could keenly +appreciate whatever they saw that was good. + +A fine display of boys' and girls' clothing and quilts gave proof of +the diligence of teacher and pupils in the sewing and dressmaking +department, and of the progress made in that line both in the present +and past years. A display of household furniture, including tables, +stands, wash-stands, a side-board, hat racks and towel racks, showed +what our boys' manual teacher and his boys have been doing. To this +should be added a neat fence, built by the boys in the lower grades. +The neatness and thoroughness of the work on the furniture greatly +exceeds that of the same grade from a manufactory. + +But our day of days came on Thursday, when a large audience from +various parts of Southeastern Georgia assembled at our church to +witness the exercises of graduation. Although this is only our third +exercise of this kind, it has already become one of the great annual +events of Liberty and neighboring counties. Notwithstanding the heat +of the day and the dust, the church was packed by an audience of at +least six hundred. In thought, force and plainness of expression and +delivery, the orations of the young men were well up toward +"high-water mark." The subjects chosen were eminently of a practical +nature, and were treated in a very practical and forceful way that +went right home to the understanding and appreciation of the hearers, +as was manifested by the close attention that was evident on every +hand. The music for the occasion was furnished by the Normal +department, assisted by the grammar grades, and consisted of +well-drilled choruses, a duet and a solo. The exercises closed with an +appropriate address by the pastor, Rev. A. L. DeMond, and the +presentation of the well-earned diplomas. + +It should have been mentioned that, on Tuesday evening, a reception +was given by the teachers to the members of the graduating class and +the alumni, furnishing a very pleasant social occasion. On Thursday +afternoon, the alumni of the school organized and held its first +meeting, consisting of literary exercises; and in the evening gave a +reception to the teachers at a neighboring house, thus giving a +pleasant ending to the school year of 1897-8. + +It has been a busy week and one filled with hard work, and moreover, +such work as could not have been possible a very few years ago. A +diploma received now by a graduate means the completion of a +four-years' Normal course, and the work satisfactorily done. + + * * * * * + +COLORED TEACHERS IN THE SOUTH. + +BY PROF. A. J. STEELE, MEMPHIS, TENN. + + +A full generation has passed since the emancipation of the slaves in +the United States and since the avenues of knowledge were thrown open +to the colored people through the doors of the school house. During +this time portions of three generations, parents, children and +grand-children, literally "Children's children to the third +generation," have, to a greater or less extent, availed themselves of +the tuition of the schools. + +[Illustration: CHILDREN'S CHILDREN.] + +During the first decade, and in regularly decreasing ratio since, the +most difficult problem has been how to provide competent teachers for +the instruction of a race crowding and hungry for knowledge. +Fortunately, perhaps, in the long view, the teaching of colored youth +has never, from the first, in the South, been considered a popular +calling, and so the work has in the main devolved upon the colored +people themselves, a work to which, for years, from almost entire lack +of opportunity for training, they could bring but the scantiest +preparation and even less experience. + +No more interesting or suggestive study could be undertaken than that, +of tracing the progress of the colored teachers of a race so recently +emancipated, as they have advanced in literary, mental and moral +fitness for a work thrust upon them by the exigencies of the +situation. + +Reference to the tables of statistics compiled by the Commissioner of +Education for 1895-6 shows how well the race is meeting the demand for +teachers in its schools, everywhere in the South kept separate from +the public schools for white children. For the year above mentioned +there were employed 26,499 colored teachers, who had under their care +1,429,713 pupils. For the same year there were in the various Normal +Schools for colored people 4,672 students, 966 of whom were graduated; +826 were graduated from high schools and 161 from college courses, +making in all 1,953 graduates from courses of study considered +sufficient in extent to fit more or less thoroughly for the work of +teaching; not to mention the even greater numbers who engage in +teaching before having completed any higher course of training. So +much as to mere numbers. Now, in general, as to the advancement being +made by schools of this class. Without exception, the reports of +school officers give credit for constantly increasing excellency and +proficiency of both schools and teachers, and certain it is, that the +public appreciation and esteem is shown by an increasing patronage and +a more substantial provision for the improvement and support of the +schools. + +In particular, while it is not always safe to draw sweeping +conclusions from facts gathered within a limited area of observation, +it may yet be confidently asserted, that what is true of the schools +and teachers of any fairly representative city or community in the +South, is likely to be measurably true wherever similar conditions and +opportunities prevail. My own direct experience and observation have +had to do with the colored schools and teachers of a single city of +sixty to eighty thousand people, nearly one-half colored, and the +counties and towns adjacent. These I have followed very closely for +over twenty-five years. I can testify positively that there has been a +steady raising of the standards of qualifications and proficiency with +regard both to intellectual and moral attainments among the teachers +of colored schools, and in this I shall be borne out by the testimony +of superintendents and school officers, as well as by all observing +people of these communities. In many cases teachers and schools of +this class have attained an enviable reputation and are often +mentioned as models of excellence in many ways. + +The process of growth here, as elsewhere, has been one of the +"survival of the fittest," the ill-trained, inefficient teachers +gradually giving place to the better qualified, more capable class. +The initial influence in this line of succession dates back but little +more than thirty years, to the founding of "mission" schools at +centres of influence throughout the South; "a handful of corn on the +top of the mountain" from which has come the wide-spreading harvests +of the present. It is a statement well within the facts that nine out +of ten of the colored schools of all grades in the South are taught by +those who had their training in these mission schools, or else by +teachers who owe their education to those of their own race who were +so trained. No more powerful or far-reaching influence was ever set in +operation than that which had its origin in the cabin where taught the +first humble missionary among the people freed by the war. The whole +power and potency of all that has followed was represented in that +first despised and humble effort. + +From that day to this seems a long call. The passage has been made +almost unobserved, like the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven. It now +not unfrequently happens that a colored public school stands +accredited in a community with excellencies to distinguish it as an +example worthy of imitation. Such is the colored high school in the +city of my direct observation, in the two respects of self-control and +government of its pupils, and in its movement toward a collection of +miscellaneous books for a school library--excellencies not ascribed, +so far as I know, in anything like the same measure to any other +public school. It is perhaps needless to add that the principal of +this school, as well as the teachers of a large percentage of the +other best schools of the city and county, have had their training in +one of the "mission" normal schools above mentioned. + +To remove or weaken these centres of power would be to strike the most +deadly blow at the education of the colored people. It would be the +removal of so many nerve centres out from which still flow the stimuli +needful to keep in active operation and growing power the entire +system. + +John F. Slater and Daniel Hand and a hundred other individual +benefactors have seen this vital fact and have done what they could to +build up and strengthen such influences. The church will make a great +mistake if it ignores this fact or relaxes its efforts in the support +of the institutions so wisely planned and so greatly efficient for +good in the past. + + * * * * * + +NOTES. + + +CLOSING EXERCISES AT LE MOYNE.--Le Moyne Normal Institute, Memphis, +Tennessee, closed on the 2nd of June.

HENDERSON, D.D. + + +Among the young colored men who heard the call of God for the +uplifting of their race was Mr. H----, whose home was in Arkansas. +From the first, with him Christian faith meant Christian service, and +he at once became active in church and Sunday-school. Nature was +generous to him in the saving gift of common sense, and he was not +long in perceiving the incompetency of the ministers to whom the +people at that time looked for religious instruction and leadership. + +A fortunate providence brought him into contact with a teacher from +Straight University. The information she gave him of this institution +opened the way to execute the purpose which he had been cherishing for +some time, to fit himself to become a missionary to his people in his +own home. The loss of a leg at this time, through the carelessness of +another, instead of discouraging, strengthened his resolution. +Penniless, like Booker Washington, he set out for this missionary seat +of learning, his only resource, prayer, his only support, hope and +faith. + +One bright morning, this brave Arkansas lad presented himself at +Straight University. Hobbling up the walk to the main building, and +assuming an air of confidence quite in contrast to his internal +emotions, he hailed a passing student in the familiar vocabulary of +the plantation--"Say, Sonny, is the Boss in?" The "Boss" was in, and +on meeting this new candidate for academical honors, quite took away +his breath by addressing him as "Mr." Such courtesy was a surprise and +a revelation to him. That he was somebody in the eyes of heaven was +the gracious revelation of his Christian faith; it now for the first +time dawned upon him that the recognition of his manhood was possible +on earth. + +Eight years of earnest study followed, years full of happiness, +because they were years of progress, of growing religious experience, +of expanding intellectual and spiritual vision. The dream of his +uncared for boyhood was in process of realization. He enjoyed the +confidence of teachers and scholars alike, for he was the soul of +honor, and his word was the word of truth. His vacations were spent in +teaching in the common schools of Louisiana. Success always crowned +his efforts; his schools were usually full to overflowing. He taught +in the Sunday-schools and made himself useful in every form of +Christian service. On one occasion the school house was destroyed by +fire, but nothing daunted, the enthusiastic teacher rallied the +neighbors, and with them and the scholars he went into the woods, +chopped down the trees, hewed the logs, and in a few days replaced the +old building with a better, and the school went on more successfully +than ever. + +And so on till the end of his life, difficulties were faced bravely +and successfully. With the assistance of friends, a cork leg took the +place of the pole which he had lashed to the stump of his lost limb. +After completing the normal course, he took the usual course in +theology. + +On Vermillion Bay, not far from the Gulf Coast, and at the terminus of +a branch of the Southern Pacific Railroad, about twenty miles from +Bayou Teche, the stream that keeps green and beautiful the year round +that section of Louisiana which was first settled by the exiled +Acadians and made famous in Longfellow's "Evangeline," is a thriving +village. In the patois of the country the people are called "Cajians," +a corruption of Acadians. As a rule, they are non-progressive and +ignorant. But the spirit of modern progress, brought in on the +railroad, is putting new life into old customs. + +In this village just waking into its new life, a humble man of faith, +in the year 1885, organized a Congregational church. The organizer of +this new church, having only a limited education, soon found himself +at the end of his resources. The people were still hungry and still +unfed. One plants, another waters. Unknown to the people, and in his +own good way and time, God was preparing to answer their prayer for a +shepherd who could lead them into the green pastures and by the side +of quiet waters. + +The Arkansas lad, proud of the possession of his normal and +theological diplomas, and now ready for service, was sent by the A. M. +A. to this prosperous village in the beautiful Teche country. When Mr. +H. arrived in the fading twilight of a June evening, and looked over +the situation--a rude, unfinished edifice, a scattered congregation, +and a membership that had diminished almost to the vanishing +point--for the first time he began to have serious doubts whether +after all he had not mistaken his calling. After much searching, only +ten or twelve discouraged members could be found. Neither party was +unduly impressed with the other. His doubt that he could do anything +for the church was probably fully respected by the members as they +looked him over and took his measure. The thoughts that came to him +that night as he lay upon his restless and dreamless pillow, were +decidedly Jonah-like. Nor were the means lacking to follow the example +of that ancient prophet. Ships lay at anchor in Vermillion Bay ready +to carry him out into the gulf and the great sea beyond. The question +what he should eat and drink, and wherewithal he should be clothed, +seemed to justify his flight. He was now learning that missionary +service is a fine thing to talk about in prayer meetings and +missionary gatherings, but that the reality often possesses a stern +and forbidding countenance. Nor was much reflection needed to show him +that though the ships might take him away from the place of duty, +they could not take him away from duty itself; that it were better to +bear poverty and privation than to bear a guilty conscience. + +It is always darkest before day. In a few weeks an ordaining council +has assembled, his old pastor and theological teacher being among the +number. The harvest was ripe, waiting for the reapers to put in the +sickle, and what began as ecclesiastical council ended in a gracious +revival. The Arkansas lad was now a minister; the dream of his boyhood +was rapidly fulfilling. + +Three years and a half passed. The field which at first seemed so +barren of promises had proved to be rich in opportunities. The +Louisiana Congregational Association holds its annual meeting with +him. His old pastor sends three other teachers. One of them, the wife +of "the Boss," returns with the other members of the ordaining council +to see what progress has been made. + +Yes, this must be the place; for the railroad stops here, and yonder +is Vermillion Bay, and the anchored ships. This, too, must be the +young pastor; his limp betrays his identity, but the face, whose pure +native hue three years ago was darkened by the cloud of doubt is now +wreathed in smiles. Here, too, is the church, the same, yet not the +same; its former disfigured and unwashed face now shines in a new coat +of paint; the unfinished and leaky bell-tower has been repaired and +beautified; and those old benches, apparently designed for those +condemned to do penance, have been replaced by comfortable modern +seats, so that the worshipper's attention is no longer diverted from +the sermon by the painful consciousness of his physical sufferings. + +But these changes, excellent in themselves, are by no means the +highest test of these years of faithful and consecrated service. The +twelve members with whom the new pastor began, have been nearly +sextupled; the Sunday-school has been organized, enlarged and +developed; a flourishing Christian Endeavor Society started; and right +conceptions of practical righteousness enforced. The pastor's +conception of his ministry includes a practical interest in education, +and since his advent an increasing stream of young people has been +flowing to Straight University. Thrifty himself, his contagious +enthusiasm has not only affected his own flock, but the community +generally, filling them with ambition to save their humble earnings, +and become owners of their own homes, and send their children to +school. + +The esteem in which Mr. H. is held by the best white people of the +town was well illustrated at the recent meeting of the State +Association. They not only crowded into the church, filling every +available space for standing, but stood outside at the windows for +hours in earnest attention, in the chilly night air. So great had +their interest become that the last night of the Association, one +white man offered the pastor any price for a reserved seat for himself +and lady friends, and the town representative wrote him a polite note +asking for a seat for himself and family, and the next day the white +people offered to procure the courthouse, that we might have a larger +place for our meeting. + +Newspapers and magazines are teeming, nowadays, with articles claiming +that our people's supreme need is industrially trained men to indicate +the road to prosperity. We gladly concede that there is need enough +and room enough for such men, but we part company with these advocates +when they intimate that we have too many liberally educated men. The +value of such well educated men may be seen in the example of Mr. H., +who is only one of many young men who have gone forth from Straight +University and other A. M. A. institutions. + + * * * * * + +ITEMS. + + +PENALTY FOR LYNCHING.--The Legislature of Ohio has passed the +Anti-Lynching amendment which makes it possible for the heirs of a +person lynched to sue the county in which the crime is committed for +from $500 to $5,000. This is the right way to do. Every state in the +Union ought to be made to pay either one of these amounts. Why not let +us agitate on these lines. The government can never find the +offenders, but under this law they can find the county.--_The +Conservator of Chicago._ + + +THE BLACK MILLIONAIRE ON HIS WAY.--Mr. T. Thomas Fortune, Editor of +the _New York Age_, one of the bright papers published by colored men, +stated at a recent meeting that the race problem, instead of being +solved in the South, is being intensified by the present condition of +things. He deplored the fact of the black man being excluded by the +labor unions from earning an honest living, and, while the poor white +people are employed in mills and factories of the cities, the black +man is left to till the soil. He is barred out from manual labor and +in many cases must either "starve or steal." This despised individual +who "befo' de war," performed all the labor, is now hardly able to +earn a living. Yet, for all that, Mr. Fortune is confident that in the +future a "monstrosity" is coming. "I may not live to see him, but the +black millionaire is on his way." + + +THE TRIUMPHANT DEATH OF A CHRISTIAN INDIAN.--"It was my privilege to +see her very frequently in these last days and to be with the family +circle when she died. Whenever I intimated that my presence seemed +like an intrusion, poor Uncle Elias always said, 'No, I like to have +you here; it strengthens me.' And when I was not there, he sent to +have me come. It was just the sympathy he felt. He was sure of that, +for I loved her, too. Through it all Elias had been lovely, a constant +wonder to me in the strength of his beautiful faith which never +faltered for a moment. Again and again in those last hours, his voice +led in prayer as we stood around her bedside, and it seemed the +spontaneous overflow of his soul. And in the accompanying hymn each +time, he also led. The last one which he gave out, only a few minutes +before the faint breathing ceased, was 'Praise God--', the doxology, +(as it is in the Dakota, of course). His faith triumphed over his +sorrow for he knew she was going home to God. Only in that last prayer +from his breaking heart, his voice trembled as he pleaded that God +would help him. Surely He has helped him wonderfully." + + +FAMILY AFFECTION AMONG INDIANS.--I am impressed with the great degree +of family affection in some cases. I know one young girl who would +profit much by going for several years to Santee. Her parents are past +middle life, and have buried many sons, and Millie is their only +daughter, so naturally they cling most tenderly to her, and it seems +to me most a necessity that the sacrifice should be made, and yet--I +wish it could be different. + + +SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, FROM MRS. A. E. R. JONES, MISSIONARY TO THE +CHINESE.--Since writing you last month I am happy to say that two of +our pupils have entered Salt Lake College as students. They have +joined the preparatory classes in arithmetic and grammar. It is a +great step for them. We help them in our evening school in the lessons +for the next day. + +But this encouragement is little in comparison with the great blessing +that has come to us. By God's grace we trust three persons have been +led to Himself. These desire to be baptized next Sunday. It is no +hasty act, but has been postponed for some time rather than to make +haste. We believe that their conversions are of the Lord and are true +and genuine. + + * * * * * + +The Indians. + + * * * * * + +NEW TYPE OF INDIAN UPRISING. + +REV. GEORGE W. REED, FORT YATES, N. D. + + +The missionaries' correspondence begins to bring inquiries concerning +an Indian uprising. With the war news are mingled expressions of fear +that the Indians will be only too ready to seize upon the opportunity +to avenge fancied wrongs. Most of the soldiers have been withdrawn +from the frontier posts. In regard to the Sioux, those who know them +best have no fear. They recognize the progress made by them in the +last ten years. Too many of them have become followers of the Prince +of Peace. These ten years of splendid school training have given us a +new type of young men and women, who have more of home love and who +are beginning to think for themselves. The majority are no longer +roused to action by the harangue of a petty chief. The day of the +chief is rapidly passing away. The thinker and not the talker is +becoming the leader. + +There must be convincing proof of a good cause and of beneficial +results before another Indian war is undertaken under the most +favorable circumstances. In territory there is nothing to be gained. +They cling tenaciously to what they have, but they are not grasping +for more, for they realize that their vast hunting grounds have been +lost to them forever. The young men and women in going half across the +continent to Carlisle and Hampton, being educated there and in summer +homes in the East, come back impressed with the largeness of the +country, the prosperity and vast numerical superiority of the people. +They care not to war against so strong a foe. + +There is an uprising of the Indians, however, which is being too +slowly recognized. They are slowly but surely rising above +superstition and ignorance, yes, even above indolence. The old roving, +restless, tramp-like spirit has not wholly disappeared. Some are still +living only a stomach level life, with apparently no thought of head +or heart. The old Indian life is self-centered, hence selfish, ever +gathering to itself, never giving out, hence stagnant, non-progressive. + +Religion has given the life a new center and indefinite breadth. The +Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man are truths which once +accepted must change the whole life, and he who teaches them to an +Indian becomes a friend and not an enemy, and becomes loved for what +he brings and not hated for what he has taken away. The Indian and the +white man have gone into partnership in building churches. The Indian +has been giving liberally to missions outside of his own little land. + +The progress in educational work has been marked in the last decade. +Today every healthy boy and girl over six years of age is supposed to +be in school. More than half of these are for ten months of every year +in a boarding school, well cared for, well fed, well instructed. To me +one of the greatest evidences of progress is that so many of them +uncomplainingly--some eagerly--part with their young children during +these many months. The large majority of the parents have never +attended school a day in their lives, yet they make this large +sacrifice for the child's good. Ten years ago there was a dance house +in nearly every village, and the senseless gyrations were in progress +every week. The larger portion of the two weeks' rations was given to +the dancer's feast, and the half fed children were the sufferers. +Today there is not a dance house for the whole 90 miles along Grand +River. + +Ten years ago the first Indian returning with his bi-weekly rations +would invite his neighbors as they came home to help him eat in one +day, often in one meal, all this food. For the remainder of the two +weeks the family would be driven to live upon other feasts, or to the +fields for the wild turnip, the few berries or the plum. If four or +more feasts were called daily, the feasts gave way to famine before +the coming ration day. Often a week of feasting, then a week of +famine, became the rule. This state of things is becoming more and +more a thing of the past. Hospitality is as marked, but is not +carried to starvation extremes. Recently passing some trees in which +twelve or more years ago seven bodies were placed, and contrasting +this with the last funeral I attended, impressed upon me progress in +another line. + +Ten years ago last Jan. 12, a day made memorable by the great blizzard +which swept over our land with death and destruction, in the early +morning, long before daylight, I was aroused from slumber by a knock +at the door of our little log house on Oak Creek. One stops to think +twice before he jumps out of a warm bed when the temperature is out of +sight below zero in the room, the fire has gone out and a blizzard is +howling outside. The rapping at the door was continued till I opened +it. A rope was placed in my hand in which were two knots. They showed +the length and width of a coffin the man wished to make, and for which +he wanted lumber. I had only an old packing-case to give him. At +daylight, breakfastless, I went over to the tent and helped him make a +coffin from the case, a soap box and a small stable door. It was a +crude and weak affair. Ignorant of the language, I could only read +words of comfort from the Word of God and try to sing two Indian +hymns. Only a few of us stood about the grave, which the husband and +myself had dug. + +In the coffin had been placed dry crusts of bread, waste pieces of +meat, a rusty knife, fork and spoon. In the grave were first placed +some thick comfortables and a filthy pillow, on which the coffin, +warmly wrapped, was placed. Then over the mouth of the grave was laid +the broken tent poles, the tent covering folded and laid over, then a +great mound of earth. At the grave everything the family had was given +away. And this was only ten years ago. But how great an improvement on +the custom of laying the body on the top of a high hill, or in the +branches of a tree, or even leaving the top of the coffin even with +the surface of the ground, which has been done away with only in the +last twelve years. + +I have described one of the first funerals in the Indian country that +I remember. How different the funeral of one of our most faithful +women, Mrs. Mary Gilbert, who was buried from our crowded Grand River +Chapel April 17th. She had been a great sufferer for years, yet +patiently, uncomplainingly, bearing it all. Though in her last +sickness there was no hope of recovery, the most popular medicine man +was not sent for. The suffering woman was not put out in a tent to +die. Gratefully did she receive the tender nursing of the white lady +missionary and the skillful school physician. Tenderly was she cared +for to the last in a comfortable bed, in a clean, tidy house. The body +was not hurried with unseemly haste to the burial. Through the +darkness of night a messenger rode 30 miles to have the agency +carpenter make a coffin, neatly cover it with black cloth and white +metal trimmings. Through the darkness of another night was it carried +back. The one service of the Sabbath day was the funeral service. +Crowds gathered at the house at an early hour. The long procession of +wagons was nearly two hours in reaching the chapel. Beautiful and +simple was the service, and the closing words of the sorrowing husband +will long be remembered, as he spoke of his wife's noble work and +trusting faith in the Master. Through the parted lines of the 80 +school children was borne the casket, followed by the parents of these +children and others to the number of over 200, most of whom in the +last eight years have found Christ as an ever-present Saviour, and +have learned to know Him as "the resurrection and the life." In this +belief they gathered about this grave, and from it they went to their +homes to live re-consecrated lives. + +I have but hinted at progress in these illustrations from their life. +May the churches recognize this new type of Indian uprising, this +progress in many ways, by larger gifts for building much needed +churches, and in sending out new messengers of the Gospel of peace. +The Indians seem ready to do their share, are we ready to do ours? + + * * * * * + +The Chinese. + + * * * * * + +THE CALIFORNIA CHINESE MISSION. + + +I am requested to give a "general view of our work in about 1000 +words:" and I attempt the task. The story is elastic; it bears +compression. Perhaps it can be brought within the allotted space. I +have often undertaken to tell it in five minutes, premising, however, +always that to do this adequately would require more than five hours. + +I. FIGURES THAT WILL NOT LIE. The first half of the present fiscal +year ended March 3. The statistical reports for these six months are +the best we have had for more than ten years. The total number of +pupils enrolled in our 19 mission schools thus far is 970: about as +many as in the whole year '95 to '96. The average membership month by +month has been about 430, and the average attendance 234. Every month +has been fraught with saving light and love for some dark souls. I +cannot give an exact statement, but I think that nearly 50 conversions +have been reported, making a total, since our work began, of fully +1,600. + +II. THE NEW MISSION HOUSE. It has cost us, finished and furnished (so +far as it is yet furnished), fully $19,500. It is a fine building in +an admirable location, the best that could be found, overlooking a +pretty square, yet standing just within the border line of San +Francisco's Chinatown. It is four stories high, with a dry basement +and a flat roof, and it is utilized on these six floors. The Noyes +Memorial Chapel on the first floor is an attractive place of worship +seating easily 250, and is used on week days for the Central School, +which is, doubtless, the largest Chinese week-day school in our +country. Rev. Jee Gam, with his large family, has several rooms as a +sort of parsonage. Other Christian families occupy apartments. +Homeless young men rent some of our best rooms, and use them for +social purposes and as a retreat from the wickedness of almost every +other gathering place in Chinatown. Most of these young men were +Christians when they came to occupy these rooms. One among those who +were not Christians has already turned to Christ, the first fruits in +this our new garden of the Lord. We owe $13,250 on this building, of +which $2,000 ought to be paid at once. + +[Illustration: NEW MISSION HOUSE.] + +III. OUR WORK FOR MOTHERS AND CHILDREN is to be distinguished from the +Rescue work among the female slaves bought and sold for the worst of +purposes, who constitute a large majority of all the Chinese women in +California. This latter work our Presbyterian and Methodist Missions +have been doing for many years at large expense and with good results. +They were prepared to take care of all who would come to them, and we +did not enter into that field, for we never have used missionary money +for the purpose of competition with other denominations, and we never +will. The mothers living in wedlock and their children constitute our +field, and wherever we have missions this is carried on with more or +less activity according to the number of families and the welcomes +extended. In Los Angeles, Marysville, San Francisco and Watsonville, +there are visitors giving to this undertaking so much of their time as +to make it necessary to assist in their support. I doubt if any human +beings anywhere on earth have more hindrances to overcome, more lions +to face, more superstitions to be laid aside in coming to Christ, than +have the Chinese women. The tyranny of heathen husbands, the scorn of +neighbors, the vague dread of untold calamities which the ghosts of +the dead will inflict upon them if not duly worshipped, the stories +told them of children kidnapped, eyes put out, hurtful spells thrown +upon people by foreign devils; all these and other obstacles must be +met and overcome. But Christian kindness will overcome everything if +persistently shown, and I believe the time is coming when the harvest +among these Chinese mothers will exceed, in proportion to the numbers +within reach of us, any reaped elsewhere. I would like to go into the +details of this comparatively new work but my limits forbid it. + +IV. THE CHINESE POPULATION in America is, I believe, increasing. I +cannot prove this, and I state it only as an impression. The Exclusion +Law at its best is a leaky dike, and the tide washing up against it +leaps through and sometimes overflows. How this comes to pass I have +not space to tell, but while I do not believe that _all_ men have +their price, I suspect that some Custom House officials have not +always been proof against temptation, and are not now. And perjury in +the view of a non-christian Chinese is a venial offense except when so +clumsily committed as to lead to detection. But, no matter how these +new comers get here, once among us they are fish for our fishing, and +when one of them becomes a Christian and tells me he has been in the +country five or six or eight years, I do not feel bound to make him +confess the method of his entrance. He was a heathen then. There is no +probability whatever that the work of our mission will cease for lack +of material to work upon, till long after the present workers have +passed to their reward. + +V. THE FINANCES. Under this head the tale is soon told. Appropriation +from the A. M. A. exhausted. The last check for this fiscal year from +the office in New York came to me on the 1st of March. The bills for +April are provided for, however. As to May, June, July and August, +bills, which if the work were done as it should be, could not even by +closest economy, be brought below $4,000, we wait for the payment of +upon God and upon those whom he has made to be the almoners of His +bounty. Our Chinese will probably give about $1,500. Who will give the +rest? + +W. C. POND. + + * * * * * + +Obituary. + + +Rev. C. L.

He was born in +Somers, Conn., was graduated at Amherst College in 1845, at East +Windsor Theological Institute in 1848, and was ordained to the +ministry in the Second Church in Amherst and became its pastor Nov. 7, +1849. He remained there till September 2, 1863 when he resigned to +become chaplain to the Twenty-seventh Massachusetts Regiment. In this +service he remained nearly a year, and in 1865 was appointed general +agent of the American Missionary Association for Massachusetts, and in +1866 its District Secretary for New England, with office in Boston, +which position he occupied till 1888.

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

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment.

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 https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone.

Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/25958.zip b/25958.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..36cd80c --- /dev/null +++ b/25958.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.
