+THE JUBILEE YEAR FUND.
+
+
+In the last number of THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY we published the plea of
+the Executive Committee of this Association for an offering to relieve
+the Association in its financial necessities. We present below the
+working point of that document in these words:
+
+     It is proposed to raise during the next six months a special
+     Jubilee Year Fund of $100,000, in shares of $50 each, with the
+     hope and expectation that these shares will be taken by the
+     friends of missions without lessening those regular
+     contributions which must be depended upon to sustain the
+     current work.
+
+As the means of securing these gifts we subjoin the blank form of a
+pledge, which, when signed by individuals or officers of churches, may
+be sent to H. W. Hubbard, Treasurer, Bible House, New York. When the
+amount pledged is paid our treasurer will send as a receipt a neatly
+printed certificate. On another page will be found a list of pledges
+already made.
+
+We solicit especial attention to the closing paragraph of the sentence
+quoted above, asking that these special gifts _shall not lessen the
+regular contributions_, upon which the Association must depend to
+sustain the current work.
+
+We send forth this appeal under a deep sense of responsibility. We
+know that business is still depressed and that many of the friends to
+whom we make this plea have responded generously to the calls of
+sister missionary societies. But we feel that it is a duty we owe to
+God and to the needy peoples for whom we labor to attempt the relief
+of this Association in its embarrassing and hindering liabilities. We
+confidently believe that many of the churches and generous
+individuals to whom we make this plea, feel as we do, a sense of duty
+and responsibility in this important matter. Some to whom this may
+come may be able to respond at once with a pledge of _one_ or _more_
+shares. But to those who cannot, we urge that they lay by in store as
+God may prosper them the means for as prompt a response as possible to
+our call.

+  THE JUBILEE YEAR FUND

+
+  I hereby take ...... shares (Fifty Dollars each) in the Jubilee Year
+  Fund of the American Missionary Association, to be paid before the
+  close of the fiscal year, Sept. 30, 1896.

+ARREST OF OUR TEACHERS IN ORANGE PARK, FLORIDA.
+
+
+Rev. T. S. Perry, of Limerick, Me.; Mr. O. S. Dickinson, of West
+Granville, Mass.; Principal B. D. Rowlee, of East Woodstock, Conn.;
+Mrs. B. D. Rowlee; Miss Edith M. Robinson, of Battle Creek, Mich.;
+Miss H. S. Loveland, of Newark Valley, N. Y.; and Miss Margaret Ball,
+of Orange Park, Fla., with two patrons of the school (white) residing
+in Orange Park, were all arrested by the Sheriff at Orange Park, Fla.,
+on Friday the 10th of April, charged with the crime of teaching young
+people of two races under the same roof. They were not taken to jail,
+but were given until Monday--the intervening days of Saturday and
+Sunday--to procure bail. This esteemed pastor of the Congregational
+Church in Orange Park, the most worthy teachers and the patrons are
+awaiting trial for this crime! and are only saved from jail by the
+bail which has been procured for them. This is as far as the State of
+Florida has descended in its shame at present.
+
+This enactment, which we have been careful not to call a law, was
+pronounced by the National Council to be "not only repugnant to
+Christian principles, but also opposed to the civil rights guaranteed
+by our Constitution," and the Association was called to persistently
+resist it with all legal measures.
+
+Senator Hoar of Massachusetts writes of it: "I am amazed that even in
+Florida such things can be done. I think that this cannot stand a
+moment before the Courts of the United States."
+
+Arrests of Christian teachers because they instruct a few white
+children under the same roof with colored children will not only call
+the attention of the Nation to the gross darkness which dwells in the
+minds of those who could make such an enactment, but it will bring
+about a public opinion which will hasten the progress of the State
+from its present low condition faster than almost any other agency.
+
+Meanwhile Florida remains in shame.

+The Hamilton Club has added the name of a colored man to the list of

+directors were unanimous in his favor.--_Chicago Times-Herald._

+HORSE NEEDED.--A faithful minister in our mountain field has great

+will increase the efficiency of an earnest missionary very greatly. If
+a larger amount than this is received it will be expended in the work
+among these mountain people.

+
+JUBILEE FIELD DAYS IN THE INTERIOR.
+
+SECRETARY CHARLES J. RYDER.
+
+
+A reduction in the secretarial force of the American Missionary
+Association, in order to cut down current expenses and decrease the
+debt, has resulted in a serious loss in the effectiveness of the
+collecting field. The office at Cleveland, together with a most
+efficient and acceptable district secretary, was discontinued for
+economy's sake. The expenses, however, had to be cut down in some way,
+and so the burden was placed upon one of the secretaries in the New
+York office. With multiform duties already upon the hands of each one
+in the administration of the mission field, and almost constant Sunday
+service among the contributing churches, it seemed almost impossible
+to take up this new burden of work, which in some societies involves
+the constant labor of a large number of secretaries. To accomplish an
+undertaking which seemed almost impossible the pastors were conferred
+with, and cordially and generously promised all the assistance within
+their power for the American Missionary Association in its depleted
+condition. Right royally did these good brethren redeem their pledge.
+
+A series of Jubilee Field Days was planned and carried out with great
+success and interest, largely through the co-operation of these
+faithful brethren in the ministry of the churches in the interior.
+
+Just a word concerning the plan adopted. A campaign of five weeks was
+planned. Jubilee Field Day Rallies were to be held twice every weekday
+except Saturday, and as many times on the Sabbath as possible. Ohio,
+Michigan, and Indiana were the States to be reached.
+
+The purpose of the campaign was to instruct and stimulate the churches
+and congregations reached. It was also hoped that the collections
+would pay all the expenses of this effort to scatter missionary
+information and enthusiasm, and that the regular collections of the
+churches would be largely increased.
+
+The speakers consisted of the pastors of the several churches and
+missionaries from the fields, and the writer of this article. Just a
+word in reference to these friends who presented the work to the
+churches. The value of the address of the pastor in each case was very
+great. Standing on the vantage ground that an honored and beloved
+pastor occupies in any church and community, his indorsement and
+earnest and discriminating commendation carried greatest weight. I
+desire thus publicly to recognize the service of those generous
+brethren in the ministry to the American Missionary Association. That
+service was large.
+
+The colored work was represented by Rev. George V. Clark, pastor of
+the Congregational Church at Memphis, Tenn. Born a slave, rescued by
+an American Missionary Association missionary from the degrading
+influences of a saloon into which he drifted as a lad when freedom
+came and no other opening was before him, his testimony and earnest
+appeal stirred the deepest convictions of his hearers. The quaint old
+slave melodies, which Mr. Clark sometimes heard as a boy in slave
+times, and often since by those who are freemen now, he rendered with
+peculiar effect. The weird and quaint pathos of these songs coming
+originally from the crushed and bleeding hearts of slaves, held the
+large audiences in hushed and sympathetic attention. Is there anything
+in the world like these slave songs sung by those who have known the
+bitterness of slavery?
+
+From far-away Dakota Miss Dora K. Dodge brought the message to these
+several gatherings, of the discouragement and want, the hopefulness
+and progress, of the Christian work among the Indians. Her mission,
+seventy-five miles out on the prairie, with only Christian
+Indians--John Bluecloud and his wife--for associates, is of unique
+interest and importance. No one could have told the story of this
+wonderful movement among the red people of the prairie with more
+simple and earnest eloquence than did Miss Dodge.
+
+Rev. W. G. Olinger, a native mountaineer, presented the work "Among
+the American Highlanders." Born in the humble cabin of the
+mountaineer, stirred from his earliest boyhood with the great desire
+for education and improvement, he struggled up through great
+discouragements, until to-day he can stand on any platform with
+interest to those who hear and with honor to himself. His manly
+presence is the illustration of the wonderful possibilities of these
+mountaineers; and his story is their agonizing cry for the light and
+opportunities which only an intelligent gospel and educational
+privileges such as the American Missionary Association is bringing,
+can satisfy.
+
+The secretary, who had charge of the campaign, presented "The Claims
+of the American Missionary Association on this Jubilee Year."
+
+The immediate results of this series of Jubilee Field Days were most
+encouraging. Nearly twenty thousand people gathered in the various
+audiences. Lincoln Memorial Day, celebrated at Oberlin, was most
+delightfully spent. Every service during the day, including
+Sunday-school, Mission Circle, Endeavor Society, as well as church
+services, was an American Missionary Association rally.
+
+On the Sabbath large churches and towns were reached. During the week
+important centers were selected, and many surrounding churches sent
+pastors and delegates to the Jubilee Field Day services.
+
+From a financial standpoint the result was also encouraging. More than
+three times as much was gathered as the campaign cost, and pastors and
+church members everywhere testified that the meetings were resultful
+in spiritual uplift and blessing, as well as in stimulating interest
+and greatly increased gifts.
+
+The general feeling seemed to be that this was American Missionary
+Association year, and that during this Jubilee season the specials
+should float into this treasury and the regular contributions should
+be greatly increased. While _en route_ the joyful message came to us
+that the Board and the Home Missionary Society were both out of debt.
+When announced from various pulpits by American Missionary Association
+speakers, this glorious fact met with cordial applause. All the more
+did it seem incumbent upon the churches to take hold of the American
+Missionary Association, still burdened with its debt, and lift it out
+of the slough of financial despond. This, however, is only the
+reflection of the feeling among the churches throughout the land. The
+determination to lift the debt of the American Missionary Association,
+and to make it possible to continue at least its depleted work, is
+universal. Special collections, regular contributions, and hundreds of
+individuals taking the fifty-dollar shares in the Jubilee fund, will
+accomplish this most desirable result.

+The South.
+
+THE OPENING CHURCH MISSIONS.
+
+BY SECRETARY F. P. WOODBURY.
+
+
+The Eureka Church-Arbor, shown below, sheltered the opening service of
+the new plantation missions in Southern Georgia. The people came under
+the shadows of the piney woods from every quarter. The first mission
+church was organized under this rude booth. There the meetings
+continued until the cold and rainy months of winter. Now, by the help
+of a grant from the Church Building Society, a small church building
+will speedily become the home of a beneficent church and school work.
+
+[Illustration: THE EUREKA CHURCH-ARBOR.]
+
+This church of the forest took its start from the earnest convictions
+of its pastor, Rev. J. B. Fletcher. After long study of the New
+Testament, with the help of few other books than his tattered Greek
+lexicon, he resigned his ecclesiastical connection because he had
+found, as he thought, the free church polity on Bible principles. His
+discovery was substantially the Congregational system. He called his
+first church "Eureka." It now has nine other churches associated in
+the same work. A mission preacher, a devoted man residing near, a man
+who is highly respected by all the people, has immediate charge of
+the Eureka work and holds the Sunday-school and other services.
+
+[Illustration: A PASTOR'S HOME.]
+
+The abodes of many of the plantation preachers are as simple and
+humble as those of their people. We give an illustration of one of
+these homes. Usually there is a division into two or perhaps three
+rooms. Sometimes a small lean-to is built at the side or end, for use
+as kitchen. The chimney, erected on the outside, is often constructed
+of clay bound with sticks. It starts in a broad fireplace of stone,
+which warms the whole building. Some of these cabins have small glass
+windows; others of them have only openings for windows, with wooden
+shutters. In such dwellings there reside vast numbers of the
+plantation preachers, and some of our own mission preachers, at the
+early stages of mission work in the back country.
+
+[Illustration: MARIETTA CHURCH AND PARSONAGE.]
+
+The picture given herewith of the church, parsonage, and school, in
+Marietta, Georgia, illustrates very many of the American Missionary
+Association church missions in the South. A neat church, a plain but
+comfortable house, with its adjoining school-room, are the type of the
+improving influences in both religious and educational service, which
+we seek to carry among these shadowed and suffering millions.
+
+In both the Carolinas, as well as in Georgia, there is an awakening in
+the hearts of the colored people, both in the towns and in the
+country, for a better church life. This is inciting movements from the
+centralized forms of church government, with their arbitrary methods
+and hard taxation, into independency. Often the poverty of the people
+prevents their attaining anything beyond present and scanty shelter
+for their new free churches. The accompanying photograph is an
+illustration of such a chapel among the plantations of South Carolina.
+
+[Illustration: A SOUTH CAROLINA CHURCH.]
+
+In very many parts of the plantation South, the very idea of a church
+free from outside control and allied to education and morality, is
+utterly unknown. Neither education nor morality form any constituent
+element of the common church life. Their introduction is looked upon
+with suspicion by the masses, and is met by hostility in every
+possible form of persecution by many of the old-time preachers and
+their personal adherents.
+
+[Illustration: SCHOOL IN ANDERSONVILLE, GA].
+
+Nothing more contributes to the introduction of better forms of
+church life than do those mission schools which awaken the desire for
+something better in religion than the senseless and corrupt "old-time"
+ways. Such a school as that in Andersonville, Ga., is the initiative
+of a church mission. School education is of little advantage unless it
+is linked with moral training; and there is no moral training
+comparable with that of a pure and true Christian church. Our mission
+school teachers call for and need the re-enforcement of gospel
+preaching on the Lord's day, and the faithful work of a pastor during
+the week. A great deal of hard work in the school would be frittered
+away and lost without the distinctive church work which must
+supplement, and confirm it. To send the pupils back into the Egyptian
+darkness of most plantation and country churches is, for vast numbers,
+to throw away all that has been done for them. That they feel this is
+shown by the frequent and earnest appeals which come from them to have
+virtuous and educated ministers sent for the starting of better
+churches among their homes.
+
+[Illustration: SCHOOL AT KING'S MOUNTAIN]
+
+While this is the narrow and local influence of our smaller schools,
+it is also the broader and deeper influence of our larger schools,
+like that at All Healing, N. C. (King's Mountain P. O.) Here the
+religious life is intensified. A number of devoted teachers supplement
+each other's work. A unique Congregational church has been formed, its
+pastor being the principal of the school, who adds this work to all
+his other services. The influence of the constant religious work done
+in this church-school and school-church is felt a hundred miles
+around. Young men and young women go out with higher ideals, and they
+awaken a demand in their home neighborhoods for both religion and
+education of a higher character. It is not too much to say that such
+work as that of Miss Cathcart and her fellow teachers at King's
+Mountain tends toward a general advance of the communities from which
+her pupils come.
+
+[Illustration: HAGAN COUNC'L.]
+
+In Georgia, after the Eureka church movement was noised about, Mr.
+Fletcher received and now receives calls from every side, chiefly from
+the plantation people. At Piney Grove, a preaching station was begun
+in an old dwelling house, and a little church of twelve members is the
+result. At Shady Grove, ten miles away, a small church building is
+going up for the brotherhood there. The ground was given and the work
+of building is carried on by a respectable colored farmer of the
+neighborhood, who with many of his neighbors welcomes a church
+fellowship which stands for education and pure religion. At Alford, in
+the adjoining county, there is now a membership of thirty-two, for
+whose use a comfortable church building is furnished by the white
+people. This, with Nellwood as an out-station, will probably soon
+receive an excellent pastor, trained in our Congregational ways and
+principles. A beginning has been made at Portal, twelve miles beyond.
+In the next county westward, the church work began at Swainsboro with
+twenty-nine members, at Kemp with seventeen members, near Garfield
+with thirteen members, and at Pilgrim with twenty-three members.
+
+Word comes to us that Mr. Fletcher, who is covering three counties in
+his work, has lost his faithful horse. This quite disables him from
+service. His fields lie at distances which make walking impossible,
+being from ten to fifty miles apart. The same day with this loss a
+member of the family, a young man, was brought home suffering from a
+broken leg. Are there not means which can reach us in the form of a
+special gift for the emergency of this faithful pioneer worker?
+Anything received beyond the immediate stress of need, will be placed
+to the support of his work.
+
+The Hagan Council, called for the orderly recognition of these poor
+struggling pioneer churches, met in an old half-ruined school-house,
+as shown in the picture given herewith. It was a humble place, and
+they were humble bodies of poor people who thus asked recognition from
+the Congregational churches of the land. But it is not for us to
+despise the poor. Has not God chosen the poor of this world, rich in

+GRACIOUS REVIVAL IN SELMA, ALA.
+
+BY REV. A. T. BURNELL.
+
+
+You will be interested to hear of the gracious revival we have had the
+past three weeks under the lead of the English Evangelist, Rev. James
+Wharton. Over 400 have professed Christ, and of these 140 were
+enrolled in Burrell School. To the very end of the meetings,
+"mourners" came forward, once in the church as many as fifty; but this
+was exceeded in immediate results at two schools where as many as
+fifty accepted Christ, after the briefest address. Following the
+Oberlin plan, I offered prayer with each class one day; the next, I
+suspended my recitations for a continuous prayer-meeting, permitting
+pupils to elect this instead of a class or study-period (certain
+grades, certain hours). At another time, instead of chapel the
+grade-teachers retained the Christians while the rest were addressed
+in the chapel,--the majority falling to their knees for prayer to rise
+in peace. Of course we have had regular prayer-meetings, with
+volunteer room gatherings at noon and like groups in the yards at
+intermission. When, on account of the late meetings each night, it
+seemed best to close at noon, most of the school gathered for a
+meeting in the chapel; and, with several after meetings, large numbers
+spent that half-holiday in the building, praying for and laboring with
+classmates. A member of Grade Eleven, for whom special effort had
+been made, came out at this time.
+
+Some of the converts have made detailed confession of sins (stealing,
+_e.g._); some who have been neglectful of school privileges have
+returned to get the religious impetus; and at least two that had been
+dismissed for meanness have experienced a change of heart. We shall
+look for permanent results, and work to that end with hope; yet this
+people are so emotional and so stolid! so ready to move along a
+certain line in a body, but indifferent to duty when it leads along an
+uninteresting path of individual effort. Indeed, the home life of many
+is unfavorable to genuine Christianity; some being persecuted, even,
+because they have not seen a vision, till they are made to believe
+they "have got nothing."
+
+Mr. Wharton preaches the pure and simple gospel plainly and vividly;
+is attractive in person and of commanding presence. At his departure
+there were many expressions of regard and grateful remembrance, and he
+will always have a warm place in the affections of Selma people, who
+have been impressed in so short a time by the life and words of this
+man of God.

+COTTON VALLEY, ALA.
+
+BY A TEACHER.
+
+
+I have been asked to tell something of the work and school in Cotton
+Valley. Hence I send a little description of it as it appears to a new
+teacher, just having entered the missionary field.
+
+There are many features about the work here that make it a most
+interesting one. First, it is situated in a dense black belt, where
+the people are anxious to improve, and are appreciative of all that is
+done for them. Next, Cotton Valley is quiet and retired, being forty
+miles from Montgomery, nine from Union Springs, and thirteen from
+Tuskegee; so that, while we are enabled to teach without interruptions
+that break into school life in cities, we are yet not so far removed
+as to be incommoded when business necessitates our going to a city.
+
+Doubtless Miss Lilla V. Davis, the pioneer, founder, and principal of
+our school is well known to most of the friends and helpers of the
+American Missionary Association, but, for the sake of those who are
+not so well informed, and because hers is a story worthy of being told
+anew, I will say a word of her whom all Cotton Valley delights to
+honor. She, ten years ago, left her home in Boston, Mass., and coming
+down here under the most adverse circumstances, and in the midst of
+the lowest humanity, established this school. Her teaching in those
+days was not so much from books, but she went into the homes of the
+people and made them feel that she was one of them. She talked and
+read to them, taught them the rules of decency and virtue, and that
+cleanliness is next to godliness. Thus, step by step has she been
+leading them on until now, instead of a valley of ignorance, it is "as
+a city set on a hill, whose light cannot be hid," for instead of a
+one-room-log-cabin we have a nice, comfortable school building,
+planned and furnished in modern style. I mean by this, that what we
+have is up-to-date and not that we have all we need, for our largest
+room, the one we call and use as our chapel, needs settees,
+blackboards, maps, and lights; and last but not least, we need a
+piano, as at present our only musical instrument is a baby organ,
+which is now so nearly worn out that many of the reeds instead of
+responding to the touch of the solicitous performer sit in silence,
+considering themselves too aged to jump up and down, and take part in
+such active service.
+
+Our school this year is larger than ever, and our students, I think,
+would compare well with those of more favored schools in cities. The
+present enrollment is nearly two hundred, and when the weather is
+good, and all are in, we find the work rather heavy, as there are only
+three teachers, and we all believe in thorough work.
+
+We have a large and interesting Sunday School to which the parents as
+well as the children come; also a Christian Endeavor Society, and a
+Circle of King's Daughters.
+
+Perhaps it would be interesting to say, that the relation of the white
+people of the settlement to the school is most friendly. They respect
+Miss Davis to the highest degree, and are willing and glad to show any
+favors to her or her teachers.
+
+Thus far, I have shown you only the favorable side of the picture, but
+I would beg my readers to remember that it has also a painful side.
+Those we are teaching are the children of ancestors who have lived for
+centuries in darkness and ignorance, with only eleven years of light;
+and there is still a great work to be done here. We find it necessary
+to instruct them, not only in books, but along the lines of all the
+virtues which go to make a man a man, and a woman a woman.

+
+IMPARTIAL TESTIMONY.
+
+BY REV. VINCENT MOSES, NEWBURY, MASS.
+
+
+My wife and I recently spent about four weeks in New Orleans, La.
+While we were there, Straight University was constantly under our
+observation; and, without suggestion from any one, it comes to mind
+that testimony to the efficiency of American Missionary Association
+work in Straight would be welcome to you.
+
+We not only attended more than once the general morning devotional
+exercises in the "Daniel Hand Preparatory School" and the "Central
+Building," but were also present during a recitation to nearly every
+teacher in the Preparatory, Grammar, Normal, College Preparatory,
+College and Theological Departments. The departments of music,
+woodworking, sewing and printing, and also the Boarding Department
+came under our observation.
+
+The impression made upon us throughout was most favorable. The claims
+of the catalogue are fully sustained in every particular. We have been
+familiar with work in all these grades in the schools of several
+Northern States; but we have never seen more thorough work, never a
+school on the whole more satisfactory in deportment and scholarship.
+We cannot compare this with other American Missionary Association
+institutions. This is the only one we have visited. So we are glad to
+let this represent them all, and confess to a surprise in finding that
+we had never known better schools.

+
+WHAT OUR GRADUATES ARE DOING.
+
+FROM GRADUATES OF STRAIGHT UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS.
+
+
+I.
+
+     "I am principal of the public schools of Vicksburg, Miss. I
+     have been teaching fourteen years, having had charge of my
+     present work nine years. I have under my present charge eight
+     hundred pupils, all the school can accommodate. Several hundred
+     have been turned away."
+
+II.
+
+     "Am editor of the _Southwestern Christian Advocate_, and
+     practicing physician and minister. Have taught school in
+     Alabama and Louisiana."
+
+III.
+
+     "My present occupation is clerk in the War Department,
+     Washington, D. C. I have taught three years in New Orleans. I
+     graduated as doctor of medicine, April 13, from the medical
+     department of Howard University."
+
+IV.
+
+     "I am principal of the Harper Industrial Institute, Baton
+     Rouge, La. Have taught almost continuously since graduating in
+     1879. For the American Missionary Association I entertain a
+     feeling of the greatest possible gratitude. What little I am I
+     owe to the training of dear old Straight."
+
+V.
+
+     "I have been until last spring principal of the colored schools
+     of Manhattan, Kansas, since 1885."
+
+VI.
+
+     "The very name of the dear old institution is sweet to me, and
+     while those who guarded the old mother in the memorable past
+     have somewhat vanished, the purposes for which she was
+     instituted are being vigorously pushed and great good
+     accomplished. Many of her sons and daughters can be found
+     throughout this Southland engaged in the various pursuits of
+     life, doing a grand work for Christ and humanity. All honor to
+     the American Missionary Association for this excellent school,
+     and incessant praises to Him who guides and directs her
+     efforts."
+
+VII.
+
+     "I am instructor of ancient languages in Wiley University,
+     Tex.; have been since 1887. I am a member of the Louisiana
+     Conference."
+
+VIII.
+
+The following extract is of special importance as showing the breadth
+and completeness of the system of instruction of Straight University
+and the economy upon which it is based:
+
+     "I am always glad to do whatever lies in my power that will in
+     any way be beneficial to Straight University, my _alma mater_.
+     I am, as you know, a normal graduate of 1891. Though I had
+     never before taken the first thought of learning anything about
+     wood-working, I thought I would go into the shop the first day
+     anyway; and I shall always be heartily thankful that I did so.
+     From that day to the end of my course, without interruption to
+     my studies, I worked in the carpenter shop, and acquired such a
+     knowledge of carpentry that I am now able to support myself by
+     following that trade. Still more, from the knowledge I gained
+     of making pieces of furniture, such as center-tables,
+     washstands, etc., I think I could be useful in the cabinet
+     trade."
+
+IX.
+
+The following gives some idea of what the department in theology is
+doing:
+
+     "Having a desire to do something for Christ and humanity, I
+     began the study of theology and other studies at Straight, that
+     I might be thoroughly equipped, 'a workman that needeth not to
+     be ashamed.' I was compelled to give up for two years, and it
+     seemed to me that there was no use of my trying further, when
+     just then through the dark cloud the sun shone again, and I
+     hope now, if life lasts, to keep on till I finish the course.
+     All that I am, or ever expect to be, is due to Straight
+     University. May God bless her and the many friends who have
+     made it possible for us to attend."

+ALL HEALING, NORTH CAROLINA.
+
+
+During the summer about forty of our pupils taught in the public
+schools; some had eighty or ninety scholars. In this way our school
+really influences many whom we cannot reach. It is so good to see the
+interest our young teachers take in their work and how, when they find
+a bright boy or girl, they always try the first thing to induce that
+one to come to school. Then, too, we see a growing desire among the
+scholars to come into school early in the fall, and we rejoice in a
+family of fifty-seven six weeks earlier than we had the same last
+year.
+
+The richest blessing of the year has begun to fall upon us, the
+presence of the Holy Spirit leading souls to Christ. During this month
+five have felt that God had forgiven their sins. Is not that enough to
+compensate us for anything we may give up to engage in the work?

+
+
+A boy we could not receive, although we would have been glad to have
+done so, said he had worked all summer for his share of a crop which
+was about 100 bushels of corn. He would have about twenty bushels of
+the corn left after he had bought himself a few clothes, which he must
+have if he came to school, and he thought he ought to help his mother
+a little. It was his only chance to get what he so much desired. He
+realized that twenty bushels of corn, worth only about $5.00, was very
+little for him to do for himself. He would try to prove himself worthy
+of any help we could give him.
+
+Still another boy writes: "It is not much I can do for myself, for I
+have not been able to find anything to do to get any money, although I
+have tried hard. But a friend has just given me a chance to assist him
+in his school for a couple of months. I don't know how much he will
+pay me, but you shall have _every cent_ I _do_ get. I do want to come
+into school, I need the education so much; I want to make a true man."

+The Indians.
+
+
+There has been an interesting revival at Ponca Church, Nebraska, under
+the direction of Rev. James Garvie, our Indian pastor.
+
+The friends who attended the annual meeting of the Association at
+Lowell will remember Mr. Garvie very pleasantly, as he was one of the
+speakers on that occasion. He is as successful in the great work which
+comes to him, as the pastor of one of our churches on the prairie, as
+he was in telling the story of the work among his people to Eastern
+congregations.
+
+Even the building of a barn at the prairie mission may be turned to
+the spiritual advantage of the Indian people, as is proved by the
+experience of Miss Mary P. Lord at Flying By's Village, N. D. The
+following extract, from a recent letter of hers, tells the story most
+interestingly. Frank and Daisy are her horses, who are really
+four-footed missionaries. Miss Lord writes: "On Sunday the ponies took
+me twelve miles to conduct service at Oak Creek Sub-Agency, where my
+people were gathered for the Monday morning issue of rations. Service
+over at noon, a drink of water and a feed of grain, and then two hours
+and a half later we were twenty miles away to attend afternoon service
+at Little-Eagle's village, where I played the organ for the English
+singing of the boarding-school children there. Yesterday they brought
+me to Fort Yates, thirty miles."

+HUT AND HEAVEN.
+
+BY REV. C. L. HALL, FT. BERTHOLD, N. D.
+
+
+Three years ago in our visit to the Indian homes, we found
+Netkuschiripas (Little Eagle) on his bed unable to get out of the
+house. Mary, his wife, washed for white people, hoed corn, and
+tenderly cared for him. He told me he believed in Jesus and would join
+us as soon as he could come out. It did not seem that he ever would
+get better then, but his faith put new life into his body, and two
+years and a half ago he was baptized in church, and got about to do a
+little work now and then. This fall his working days came to an end.
+He could only lie on his bed or sit in the sun at the door. Mary had
+to haul the firewood and nurse him, as well as work out. For a while
+they stayed at a neighbor's house, but an old Indian woman insisted
+that he should wear his beads and other heathen adornments. He refused
+to do so, saying that now he was a different person. As this annoyance
+was kept up he and Mary left and stayed by themselves in a dug-out on
+the south side of a bank on the edge of a willow bottom. His bed was a
+few boards with a straw mattress and a few quilts. The room was
+lighted by a single sash--the rude shelter of two of God's children.
+When he felt himself sinking, he said: I do not know what God's will
+for me is, but whatever it is I am ready. I have no fears. The day
+before he died he said: I have one heart. I trust only in Jesus; I
+have said this to you often. We laid him away just after the morning
+meeting last Sunday. This is not extraordinary; we are glad so many
+are like John and Mary. Twice the gates have opened this winter for
+us, and now part of our church gather above and part here. Five more
+are to confess their faith at the next communion. Pray for these
+little ones.

+
+THE LOS ANGELES MISSION.
+
+BY. REV. WM. C. POND, D.D.
+
+
+An interesting letter from Mrs. Rice, wife of Rev. O. V. Rice, who has
+charge of our mission at this prosperous and ambitious metropolis of
+Southern California, prompts me to give my space this month to a
+review of our work there. It had already begun when, twenty-two years
+ago, I became superintendent. I tried to visit it in the spring of
+1874, but a severe storm on our usually placid Pacific delayed our
+steamer so long that I could spend only a few hours there. This was
+sufficient, however, to show me that we had a good teacher and some
+very promising pupils, but an indifference to contend with on the part
+of American Christians which was both surprising and painful.
+
+A few months after this I heard that Rev. Ira M. Condit, a missionary
+recently returned from China, able to talk the Chinese language
+fluently, and a very estimable brother, had gone to Los Angeles to
+establish a Presbyterian mission. I did not hear of it by letter from
+him nor from any one connected with the Presbyterian work in this
+State. Denominational comity just then had not reached in the minds of
+our Presbyterian brethren sufficient dignity to call even for a bow in
+recognition. But I waived this matter, and believing that, with his
+manifest advantages, he could do better work than we, and that there
+was not room enough in the field, as it then was, for two missions, I
+turned over to him our whole school--pupils, teacher, and whatever
+conveniences or good-will we had gathered--and retired from the
+locality. It was about two months only when I heard of six or eight
+conversions in the Presbyterian Chinese mission of Los Angeles, but
+they were the very ones of whom our teacher had spoken hopefully to me
+on my visit to the city.
+
+An interval of several years occurred. The great boom came, and Los
+Angeles sprang to the front among the inland cities of the State and
+boasted that before long San Francisco would be one of its suburbs.
+The Chinese population increased to about 6,000. Among these were many
+of our own brethren and several who were members of my own church.
+They pleaded for a Congregational mission, and showed that because the
+two Presbyterian missions were at one end of the Chinese quarter, and
+there was nothing of the sort at the other end, nearly a mile distant,
+there was a large field for us where we would come into no
+competition, and where all that we might do would be a distinct
+addition to the work done for Christ among their countrymen. We
+yielded to their persuasions and found their prediction amply
+verified. Our school became at once the largest and our work the most
+active and fruitful in the city. In the four months ending with
+August 31, 1888, 133 pupils were enrolled, and the average membership
+month by month was 69. Street-preaching, hand-to-hand evangelistic
+work, and the skillful, faithful labor of our teacher, Mrs. Sheldon,
+and our enthusiastic helper, Loo Quong, were used of God for the
+conversion of many souls.
+
+But as in other specially delightful places for homes, persons
+multiplied who desired to enter into this missionary work. Instead of
+three, there came to be six or eight missions there. Competition
+ensued. Our school, though comparing well with any, was reduced in
+size and influence, and as we began to be straitened for funds and
+there were many points where no one was caring for Chinese souls, our
+aid was withdrawn and I supposed the work would cease. Not so. Our
+Chinese brethren clung to each other and to their own mission work.
+They rented quarters neither spacious nor comfortable, but cheap, and
+contrived, with the aid of one true-hearted Christian woman, to keep
+up their school, maintain their Association, add four members to it as
+converts to the Christian life, and present seven of their number to
+the First Congregational Church for baptism. We felt that a mission
+with such "grit and grace" deserved to live. _Long may it live!_
+
+Three persons converted at this mission have been brought into our
+work as missionary helpers. Many have testified for Christ in their
+own land.
+
+At present it is in excellent working order and our Christian Chinese
+are enthusiastic, generous, and at peace among themselves. Let me copy
+a few sentences from a letter from one of them who was temporarily at
+work at Pasadena. "I am very sorry for I left our school. Pray God for
+me that I may be back to it again. You will be kind and teach our
+people; that is such good work for you. God will want thus such person
+[_i.e._, God wants persons who do as you do.--W. C. P.] You very much
+interest our people. May God reward it to you! Before I went to the
+mission school I never thought to be a Christian; now I did do it. I
+am very thankful God has direct me out from the superstition to find
+pathway about the truth, God and Heavenly Father. Now I am feel such
+good comfort in my mind, but I do not satisfy [I am not satisfied] to
+know the salvation alone, but needed you pray for my countrymen that
+they all find life in Jesus Christ."
+
+And now for an extract, briefer than I desired to make, from Mrs.
+Rice's letter: "Last night we gave a farewell reception to our
+brother, Yon Mon, who is about to leave for China. The brethren seized
+this opportunity to present to a lady from Norristown, Pa., who has
+kindly helped our work, a very nice letter of thanks with their names
+signed to it. A gentleman who came to the city with her, and who is
+about to open a fine store here, attended her to the mission house,
+out of courtesy but very reluctantly, for he was bitterly opposed to
+Chinese and to any and all efforts made for them. The brethren took
+him for a friend and when introduced shook hands. He said it 'was as
+much as his life was worth' to extend his hand in response to theirs.
+But the same sense of courtesy constrained him to come with his friend
+a second evening, and at its close he asked if he might be permitted
+to say a word 'just to the boys.' Whereupon he expressed his pleasure
+at all he had seen since coming into the school, and advised the boys
+to keep right on doing right. They would meet bitter enemies among the
+Americans, but not to mind them but go right forward. Then he
+announced that if by February 5 we would have thirty regular pupils,
+he would make the school 'a handsome present.' I wish some of the
+other opponents of our work could in like manner be _compelled_ to see
+our schools. Seeing would be believing, would it not?"
+
+The latest contribution of our Los Angeles Mission to our general work
+is Jue See, who has come to take Yip Bow's place (Yip Bow also having
+come from the same mission) as helper in Oakland and at the West
+School in this city, while Yip Bow goes to Sacramento. I am greatly
+pleased with him. He will, when trained for the work (and we train for
+work mainly _by working_), make one of the best of our Chinese
+helpers.
+
+I add just one word of good news. Our teachers are _all_ paid in full
+for last year's work. Their faith has not been put to shame. Two of
+our Chinese helpers still lack something, and two other creditors will
+probably have to make large donations in order to square their
+accounts, but I _know_ that _one_ of them will not complain, and the
+other will be doing only what she promised, and while I fear it may be
+a hardship, it is no greater hardship than almost every landlord or
+landlady, in these days of pressure, has been forced to undergo. So I
+feel like singing the Doxology!

+THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE
+PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
+distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at
+http://gutenberg.org/license).
+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.8.  You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+http://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact
+information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official
+page at http://pglaf.org
+
+For additional contact information:
+     Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+     Chief Executive and Director
+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+<h3>THE JUBILEE YEAR FUND.</h3>
+
+<p>In the last number of <span class="smcap">The American Missionary</span> we published the plea of
+the Executive Committee of this Association for an offering to relieve
+the Association in its financial necessities. We present below the
+working point of that document in these words:</p>
+
+<div class="blockquot"><p>It is proposed to raise during the next six months a special
+Jubilee Year Fund of $100,000, in shares of $50 each, with the
+hope and expectation that these shares will be taken by the
+friends of missions without lessening those regular
+contributions which must be depended upon to sustain the
+current work.</p></div>
+
+<p>As the means of securing these gifts we subjoin the blank form of a
+pledge, which, when signed by individuals or officers of churches, may
+be sent to H. W. Hubbard, Treasurer, Bible House, New York. When the
+amount pledged is paid our treasurer will send as a receipt a neatly
+printed certificate. On another page will be found a list of pledges
+already made.</p>
+
+<p>We solicit especial attention to the closing paragraph of the sentence
+quoted above, asking that these special gifts <i>shall not lessen the
+regular contributions</i>, upon which the Association must depend to
+sustain the current work.</p>
+
+<p>We send forth this appeal under a deep sense of responsibility. We
+know that business is still depressed and that many of the friends to
+whom we make this plea have responded generously to the calls of
+sister missionary societies. But we feel that it is a duty we owe to
+God and to the needy peoples for whom we labor to attempt the relief
+of this Association in its embarrassing and hindering liabilities. We
+confidently believe that many of the churches and generous
+individuals<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_146" id="Page_146">[Pg 146]</a></span> to whom we make this plea, feel as we do, a sense of duty
+and responsibility in this important matter. Some to whom this may
+come may be able to respond at once with a pledge of <i>one</i> or <i>more</i>
+shares. But to those who cannot, we urge that they lay by in store as
+God may prosper them the means for as prompt a response as possible to
+our call.</p>

+<h3>ARREST OF OUR TEACHERS IN ORANGE PARK, FLORIDA.</h3>
+
+
+<p>Rev. T. S. Perry, of Limerick, Me.; Mr. O. S. Dickinson, of West
+Granville, Mass.; Principal B. D. Rowlee, of East Woodstock, Conn.;
+Mrs. B. D. Rowlee; Miss Edith M. Robinson, of Battle Creek, Mich.;
+Miss H. S. Loveland, of Newark Valley, N. Y.; and Miss Margaret Ball,
+of Orange Park, Fla., with two patrons of the school (white) residing
+in Orange Park, were all arrested by the Sheriff at Orange Park, Fla.,
+on Friday the 10th of April, charged with the crime of teaching young
+people of two races under the same roof. They were not taken to jail,
+but were given until Monday&mdash;the intervening days of Saturday and
+Sunday&mdash;to procure bail. This esteemed pastor of the Congregational
+Church in Orange Park, the most worthy teachers and the patrons are
+awaiting trial for this crime! and are only saved from jail by the
+bail which has been procured for them. This is as far as the State of
+Florida has descended in its shame at present.</p>
+
+<p>This enactment, which we have been careful not to call a law, was
+pronounced by the National Council to be "not only repugnant to
+Christian principles, but also opposed to the civil rights guaranteed
+by our Constitution," and the Association was called to persistently
+resist it with all legal measures.</p>
+
+<p>Senator Hoar of Massachusetts writes of it: "I am amazed that even in
+Florida such things can be done. I think that this cannot stand a
+moment before the Courts of the United States."</p>
+
+<p>Arrests of Christian teachers because they instruct a few white
+children under the same roof with colored children will not only call<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_147" id="Page_147">[Pg 147]</a></span>
+the attention of the Nation to the gross darkness which dwells in the
+minds of those who could make such an enactment, but it will bring
+about a public opinion which will hasten the progress of the State
+from its present low condition faster than almost any other agency.</p>
+
+<p>Meanwhile Florida remains in shame.</p>
+
+<hr class="section" />
+
+<p>The Hamilton Club has added the name of a colored man to the list of
+its members. It is the first of the leading men's social organizations
+in Chicago to abolish the color line. This special honor was conferred
+upon Adelbert H. Roberts. The name passed the test of posting and the
+directors were unanimous in his favor.&mdash;<i>Chicago Times-Herald.</i></p>
+
+<hr class="quarter" />
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Horse Needed</span>.&mdash;A faithful minister in our mountain field has great
+need of a horse. He reaches half a dozen preaching-stations among
+these Highlanders, often going on foot. Fifty dollars would purchase
+him a good horse, and if any friend will respond to this appeal it
+will increase the efficiency of an earnest missionary very greatly. If
+a larger amount than this is received it will be expended in the work
+among these mountain people.</p>
+

+<p><span class="smcap">Rev. H. E. Partridge</span>, of Pomona, Tenn., will be glad to write full

+
+<h3>JUBILEE FIELD DAYS IN THE INTERIOR.</h3>
+
+<div class="center">SECRETARY CHARLES J. RYDER.</div>
+
+
+<p>A reduction in the secretarial force of the American Missionary
+Association, in order to cut down current expenses and decrease the
+debt, has resulted in a serious loss in the effectiveness of the
+collecting field. The office at Cleveland, together with a most
+efficient and acceptable district secretary, was discontinued for
+economy's sake. The expenses, however, had to be cut down in some way,
+and so the burden was placed upon one of the secretaries in the New
+York office. With multiform duties already upon the hands of each one
+in the administration of the mission field, and almost constant Sunday
+service among the contributing churches, it seemed almost impossible
+to take up this new burden of work, which in some societies involves
+the constant labor of a large number of secretaries. To accomplish an
+undertaking which seemed almost impossible the pastors were conferred
+with, and cordially and generously promised all the assistance within
+their power for the American Missionary Association<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_148" id="Page_148">[Pg 148]</a></span> in its depleted
+condition. Right royally did these good brethren redeem their pledge.</p>
+
+<p>A series of Jubilee Field Days was planned and carried out with great
+success and interest, largely through the co-operation of these
+faithful brethren in the ministry of the churches in the interior.</p>
+
+<p>Just a word concerning the plan adopted. A campaign of five weeks was
+planned. Jubilee Field Day Rallies were to be held twice every weekday
+except Saturday, and as many times on the Sabbath as possible. Ohio,
+Michigan, and Indiana were the States to be reached.</p>
+
+<p>The purpose of the campaign was to instruct and stimulate the churches
+and congregations reached. It was also hoped that the collections
+would pay all the expenses of this effort to scatter missionary
+information and enthusiasm, and that the regular collections of the
+churches would be largely increased.</p>
+
+<p>The speakers consisted of the pastors of the several churches and
+missionaries from the fields, and the writer of this article. Just a
+word in reference to these friends who presented the work to the
+churches. The value of the address of the pastor in each case was very
+great. Standing on the vantage ground that an honored and beloved
+pastor occupies in any church and community, his indorsement and
+earnest and discriminating commendation carried greatest weight. I
+desire thus publicly to recognize the service of those generous
+brethren in the ministry to the American Missionary Association. That
+service was large.</p>
+
+<p>The colored work was represented by Rev. George V. Clark, pastor of
+the Congregational Church at Memphis, Tenn. Born a slave, rescued by
+an American Missionary Association missionary from the degrading
+influences of a saloon into which he drifted as a lad when freedom
+came and no other opening was before him, his testimony and earnest
+appeal stirred the deepest convictions of his hearers. The quaint old
+slave melodies, which Mr. Clark sometimes heard as a boy in slave
+times, and often since by those who are freemen now, he rendered with
+peculiar effect. The weird and quaint pathos of these songs coming
+originally from the crushed and bleeding hearts of slaves, held the
+large audiences in hushed and sympathetic attention. Is there anything
+in the world like these slave songs sung by those who have known the
+bitterness of slavery?</p>
+
+<p>From far-away Dakota Miss Dora K. Dodge brought the message to these
+several gatherings, of the discouragement and want, the hopefulness
+and progress, of the Christian work among the Indians. Her mission,
+seventy-five miles out on the prairie, with only Christian
+Indians&mdash;John Bluecloud and his wife&mdash;for associates, is of unique
+interest and importance. No one could have told the story of this
+wonderful movement among the red people of the<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_149" id="Page_149">[Pg 149]</a></span> prairie with more
+simple and earnest eloquence than did Miss Dodge.</p>
+
+<p>Rev. W. G. Olinger, a native mountaineer, presented the work "Among
+the American Highlanders." Born in the humble cabin of the
+mountaineer, stirred from his earliest boyhood with the great desire
+for education and improvement, he struggled up through great
+discouragements, until to-day he can stand on any platform with
+interest to those who hear and with honor to himself. His manly
+presence is the illustration of the wonderful possibilities of these
+mountaineers; and his story is their agonizing cry for the light and
+opportunities which only an intelligent gospel and educational
+privileges such as the American Missionary Association is bringing,
+can satisfy.</p>
+
+<p>The secretary, who had charge of the campaign, presented "The Claims
+of the American Missionary Association on this Jubilee Year."</p>
+
+<p>The immediate results of this series of Jubilee Field Days were most
+encouraging. Nearly twenty thousand people gathered in the various
+audiences. Lincoln Memorial Day, celebrated at Oberlin, was most
+delightfully spent. Every service during the day, including
+Sunday-school, Mission Circle, Endeavor Society, as well as church
+services, was an American Missionary Association rally.</p>
+
+<p>On the Sabbath large churches and towns were reached. During the week
+important centers were selected, and many surrounding churches sent
+pastors and delegates to the Jubilee Field Day services.</p>
+
+<p>From a financial standpoint the result was also encouraging. More than
+three times as much was gathered as the campaign cost, and pastors and
+church members everywhere testified that the meetings were resultful
+in spiritual uplift and blessing, as well as in stimulating interest
+and greatly increased gifts.</p>
+
+<p>The general feeling seemed to be that this was American Missionary
+Association year, and that during this Jubilee season the specials
+should float into this treasury and the regular contributions should
+be greatly increased. While <i>en route</i> the joyful message came to us
+that the Board and the Home Missionary Society were both out of debt.
+When announced from various pulpits by American Missionary Association
+speakers, this glorious fact met with cordial applause. All the more
+did it seem incumbent upon the churches to take hold of the American
+Missionary Association, still burdened with its debt, and lift it out
+of the slough of financial despond. This, however, is only the
+reflection of the feeling among the churches throughout the land. The
+determination to lift the debt of the American Missionary Association,
+and to make it possible to continue at least its depleted work, is
+universal. Special collections, regular contributions, and hundreds of
+individuals taking the fifty-dollar shares in the Jubilee fund, will
+accomplish this most desirable result.</p>

+<h3>THE OPENING CHURCH MISSIONS.</h3>
+
+<div class="center">BY SECRETARY F. P. WOODBURY.</div>
+
+
+<p>The Eureka Church-Arbor, shown below, sheltered the opening service of
+the new plantation missions in Southern Georgia. The people came under
+the shadows of the piney woods from every quarter. The first mission
+church was organized under this rude booth. There the meetings
+continued until the cold and rainy months of winter. Now, by the help
+of a grant from the Church Building Society, a small church building
+will speedily become the home of a beneficent church and school work.</p>

+
+<p>This church of the forest took its start from the earnest convictions
+of its pastor, Rev. J. B. Fletcher. After long study of the New
+Testament, with the help of few other books than his tattered Greek
+lexicon, he resigned his ecclesiastical connection because he had
+found, as he thought, the free church polity on Bible principles. His
+discovery was substantially the Congregational system. He called his
+first church "Eureka." It now has nine other churches associated in
+the same work. A mission preacher, a devoted man residing near, a man
+who<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_151" id="Page_151">[Pg 151]</a></span> is highly respected by all the people, has immediate charge of
+the Eureka work and holds the Sunday-school and other services.</p>

+
+<p>The abodes of many of the plantation preachers are as simple and
+humble as those of their people. We give an illustration of one of
+these homes. Usually there is a division into two or perhaps three
+rooms. Sometimes a small lean-to is built at the side or end, for use
+as kitchen. The chimney, erected on the outside, is often constructed
+of clay bound with sticks. It starts in a broad fireplace of stone,
+which warms the whole building. Some of these cabins have small glass
+windows; others of them have only openings for windows, with wooden
+shutters. In such dwellings there reside vast numbers of the
+plantation preachers, and some of our own mission preachers, at the
+early stages of mission work in the back country.</p>

+
+<p>The picture given herewith of the church, parsonage, and school, in
+Marietta, Georgia, illustrates very many of the American Missionary
+Association church missions in the South. A neat church, a plain but
+comfortable house, with its adjoining school-room, are the type of the
+improving influences<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_152" id="Page_152">[Pg 152]</a></span> in both religious and educational service, which
+we seek to carry among these shadowed and suffering millions.</p>
+
+<p>In both the Carolinas, as well as in Georgia, there is an awakening in
+the hearts of the colored people, both in the towns and in the
+country, for a better church life. This is inciting movements from the
+centralized forms of church government, with their arbitrary methods
+and hard taxation, into independency. Often the poverty of the people
+prevents their attaining anything beyond present and scanty shelter
+for their new free churches. The accompanying photograph is an
+illustration of such a chapel among the plantations of South Carolina.</p>

+</div>
+
+<p>In very many parts of the plantation South, the very idea of a church
+free from outside control and allied to education and morality, is
+utterly unknown. Neither education nor morality form any constituent
+element of the common church life. Their introduction is looked upon
+with suspicion by the masses, and is met by hostility in every
+possible form of persecution by many of the old-time preachers and
+their personal adherents.</p>

+
+<p>Nothing more contributes to the introduction of better<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_153" id="Page_153">[Pg 153]</a></span> forms of
+church life than do those mission schools which awaken the desire for
+something better in religion than the senseless and corrupt "old-time"
+ways. Such a school as that in Andersonville, Ga., is the initiative
+of a church mission. School education is of little advantage unless it
+is linked with moral training; and there is no moral training
+comparable with that of a pure and true Christian church. Our mission
+school teachers call for and need the re-enforcement of gospel
+preaching on the Lord's day, and the faithful work of a pastor during
+the week. A great deal of hard work in the school would be frittered
+away and lost without the distinctive church work which must
+supplement, and confirm it. To send the pupils back into the Egyptian
+darkness of most plantation and country churches is, for vast numbers,
+to throw away all that has been done for them. That they feel this is
+shown by the frequent and earnest appeals which come from them to have
+virtuous and educated ministers sent for the starting of better
+churches among their homes.</p>

+
+<p>While this is the narrow and local influence of our smaller schools,
+it is also the broader and deeper influence of our larger schools,
+like that at All Healing, N. C. (King's Mountain P. O.) Here the
+religious life is intensified. A number of devoted teachers supplement
+each other's work. A unique Congregational church has been formed, its
+pastor being the principal of the school, who adds this work to all
+his other services. The influence of the constant religious work done
+in this church-school and school-church is felt a hundred miles
+around. Young men<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_154" id="Page_154">[Pg 154]</a></span> and young women go out with higher ideals, and they
+awaken a demand in their home neighborhoods for both religion and
+education of a higher character. It is not too much to say that such
+work as that of Miss Cathcart and her fellow teachers at King's
+Mountain tends toward a general advance of the communities from which
+her pupils come.</p>

+
+<p>In Georgia, after the Eureka church movement was noised about, Mr.
+Fletcher received and now receives calls from every side, chiefly from
+the plantation people. At Piney Grove, a preaching station was begun
+in an old dwelling house, and a little church of twelve members is the
+result. At Shady Grove, ten miles away, a small church building is
+going up for the brotherhood there. The ground was given and the work
+of building is carried on by a respectable colored farmer of the
+neighborhood, who with many of his neighbors welcomes a church
+fellowship which stands for education and pure religion. At Alford, in
+the adjoining county, there is now a membership of thirty-two, for
+whose use a comfortable church building is furnished by the white
+people. This, with Nellwood as an out-station, will probably soon
+receive an excellent pastor, trained in our Congregational ways and
+principles. A beginning has been made at Portal, twelve miles beyond.
+In the next county westward, the church work began at Swainsboro with
+twenty-nine members, at Kemp with seventeen members, near Garfield
+with thirteen members, and at Pilgrim with twenty-three members.</p>
+<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_155" id="Page_155">[Pg 155]</a></span></p>
+<p>Word comes to us that Mr. Fletcher, who is covering three counties in
+his work, has lost his faithful horse. This quite disables him from
+service. His fields lie at distances which make walking impossible,
+being from ten to fifty miles apart. The same day with this loss a
+member of the family, a young man, was brought home suffering from a
+broken leg. Are there not means which can reach us in the form of a
+special gift for the emergency of this faithful pioneer worker?
+Anything received beyond the immediate stress of need, will be placed
+to the support of his work.</p>
+
+<p>The Hagan Council, called for the orderly recognition of these poor
+struggling pioneer churches, met in an old half-ruined school-house,
+as shown in the picture given herewith. It was a humble place, and
+they were humble bodies of poor people who thus asked recognition from
+the Congregational churches of the land. But it is not for us to
+despise the poor. Has not God chosen the poor of this world, rich in
+faith, and heirs of the kingdom? That little group in front of that
+poor old school-house may become historic as the precursor of a great
+movement of blessing to millions among the poorest of the poor in our
+nation.</p>

+<h3>GRACIOUS REVIVAL IN SELMA, ALA.</h3>
+
+<div class="center">BY REV. A. T. BURNELL.</div>
+
+
+<p>You will be interested to hear of the gracious revival we have had the
+past three weeks under the lead of the English Evangelist, Rev. James
+Wharton. Over 400 have professed Christ, and of these 140 were
+enrolled in Burrell School. To the very end of the meetings,
+"mourners" came forward, once in the church as many as fifty; but this
+was exceeded in immediate results at two schools where as many as
+fifty accepted Christ, after the briefest address. Following the
+Oberlin plan, I offered prayer with each class one day; the next, I
+suspended my recitations for a continuous prayer-meeting, permitting
+pupils to elect this instead of a class or study-period (certain
+grades, certain hours). At another time, instead of chapel the
+grade-teachers retained the Christians while the rest were addressed
+in the chapel,&mdash;the majority falling to their knees for prayer to rise
+in peace. Of course we have had regular prayer-meetings, with
+volunteer room gatherings at noon and like groups in the yards at
+intermission. When, on account of the late meetings each night, it
+seemed best to close at noon, most of the school gathered for a
+meeting in the chapel; and, with several after meetings, large numbers
+spent that half-holiday in the building, praying for and laboring with
+classmates. A member of<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_156" id="Page_156">[Pg 156]</a></span> Grade Eleven, for whom special effort had
+been made, came out at this time.</p>
+
+<p>Some of the converts have made detailed confession of sins (stealing,
+<i>e.g.</i>); some who have been neglectful of school privileges have
+returned to get the religious impetus; and at least two that had been
+dismissed for meanness have experienced a change of heart. We shall
+look for permanent results, and work to that end with hope; yet this
+people are so emotional and so stolid! so ready to move along a
+certain line in a body, but indifferent to duty when it leads along an
+uninteresting path of individual effort. Indeed, the home life of many
+is unfavorable to genuine Christianity; some being persecuted, even,
+because they have not seen a vision, till they are made to believe
+they "have got nothing."</p>
+
+<p>Mr. Wharton preaches the pure and simple gospel plainly and vividly;
+is attractive in person and of commanding presence. At his departure
+there were many expressions of regard and grateful remembrance, and he
+will always have a warm place in the affections of Selma people, who
+have been impressed in so short a time by the life and words of this
+man of God.</p>

+<h3>COTTON VALLEY, ALA.</h3>
+
+<div class="center">BY A TEACHER.</div>
+
+
+<p>I have been asked to tell something of the work and school in Cotton
+Valley. Hence I send a little description of it as it appears to a new
+teacher, just having entered the missionary field.</p>
+
+<p>There are many features about the work here that make it a most
+interesting one. First, it is situated in a dense black belt, where
+the people are anxious to improve, and are appreciative of all that is
+done for them. Next, Cotton Valley is quiet and retired, being forty
+miles from Montgomery, nine from Union Springs, and thirteen from
+Tuskegee; so that, while we are enabled to teach without interruptions
+that break into school life in cities, we are yet not so far removed
+as to be incommoded when business necessitates our going to a city.</p>
+
+<p>Doubtless Miss Lilla V. Davis, the pioneer, founder, and principal of
+our school is well known to most of the friends and helpers of the
+American Missionary Association, but, for the sake of those who are
+not so well informed, and because hers is a story worthy of being told
+anew, I will say a word of her whom all Cotton Valley delights to
+honor. She, ten years ago, left her home in Boston, Mass., and coming
+down here under the most adverse circumstances, and in the midst of
+the lowest humanity, established this school. Her teaching in those
+days was not so much from books, but she went into the homes of the
+people and made them feel that she was one of them. She talked and
+read<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_157" id="Page_157">[Pg 157]</a></span> to them, taught them the rules of decency and virtue, and that
+cleanliness is next to godliness. Thus, step by step has she been
+leading them on until now, instead of a valley of ignorance, it is "as
+a city set on a hill, whose light cannot be hid," for instead of a
+one-room-log-cabin we have a nice, comfortable school building,
+planned and furnished in modern style. I mean by this, that what we
+have is up-to-date and not that we have all we need, for our largest
+room, the one we call and use as our chapel, needs settees,
+blackboards, maps, and lights; and last but not least, we need a
+piano, as at present our only musical instrument is a baby organ,
+which is now so nearly worn out that many of the reeds instead of
+responding to the touch of the solicitous performer sit in silence,
+considering themselves too aged to jump up and down, and take part in
+such active service.</p>
+
+<p>Our school this year is larger than ever, and our students, I think,
+would compare well with those of more favored schools in cities. The
+present enrollment is nearly two hundred, and when the weather is
+good, and all are in, we find the work rather heavy, as there are only
+three teachers, and we all believe in thorough work.</p>
+
+<p>We have a large and interesting Sunday School to which the parents as
+well as the children come; also a Christian Endeavor Society, and a
+Circle of King's Daughters.</p>
+
+<p>Perhaps it would be interesting to say, that the relation of the white
+people of the settlement to the school is most friendly. They respect
+Miss Davis to the highest degree, and are willing and glad to show any
+favors to her or her teachers.</p>
+
+<p>Thus far, I have shown you only the favorable side of the picture, but
+I would beg my readers to remember that it has also a painful side.
+Those we are teaching are the children of ancestors who have lived for
+centuries in darkness and ignorance, with only eleven years of light;
+and there is still a great work to be done here. We find it necessary
+to instruct them, not only in books, but along the lines of all the
+virtues which go to make a man a man, and a woman a woman.</p>

+<h3>IMPARTIAL TESTIMONY.</h3>
+
+<div class="center">BY REV. VINCENT MOSES, NEWBURY, MASS.</div>
+
+
+<p>My wife and I recently spent about four weeks in New Orleans, La.
+While we were there, Straight University was constantly under our
+observation; and, without suggestion from any one, it comes to mind
+that testimony to the efficiency of American Missionary Association
+work in Straight would be welcome to you.</p>
+
+<p>We not only attended more than once the general morning devotional
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_158" id="Page_158">[Pg 158]</a></span>exercises in the "Daniel Hand Preparatory School" and the "Central
+Building," but were also present during a recitation to nearly every
+teacher in the Preparatory, Grammar, Normal, College Preparatory,
+College and Theological Departments. The departments of music,
+woodworking, sewing and printing, and also the Boarding Department
+came under our observation.</p>
+
+<p>The impression made upon us throughout was most favorable. The claims
+of the catalogue are fully sustained in every particular. We have been
+familiar with work in all these grades in the schools of several
+Northern States; but we have never seen more thorough work, never a
+school on the whole more satisfactory in deportment and scholarship.
+We cannot compare this with other American Missionary Association
+institutions. This is the only one we have visited. So we are glad to
+let this represent them all, and confess to a surprise in finding that
+we had never known better schools.</p>

+<h3>ALL HEALING, NORTH CAROLINA.</h3>
+
+
+<p>During the summer about forty of our pupils taught in the public
+schools; some had eighty or ninety scholars. In this way our school
+really influences many whom we cannot reach. It is so good to see the
+interest our young teachers take in their work and how, when they find
+a bright boy or girl, they always try the first thing to induce that
+one to come to school. Then, too, we see a growing desire among the
+scholars to come into school early in the fall, and we rejoice in a
+family of fifty-seven six weeks earlier than we had the same last
+year.</p>
+
+<p>The richest blessing of the year has begun to fall upon us, the
+presence of the Holy Spirit leading souls to Christ. During this month
+five have felt that God had forgiven their sins. Is not that enough to
+compensate us for anything we may give up to engage in the work?</p>

+<h3>PLEASANT HILL, TENNESSEE.</h3>
+
+
+<p>A boy we could not receive, although we would have been glad to have
+done so, said he had worked all summer for his share of a crop which
+was about 100 bushels of corn. He would have about twenty bushels of
+the corn left after he had bought himself a few clothes, which he must
+have if he came to school, and he thought he ought to help his mother
+a little. It was his only chance to get what he so much desired. He
+realized that twenty bushels of corn, worth only about $5.00, was very
+little for him to do for himself. He would try to prove himself worthy
+of any help we could give him.</p>
+
+<p>Still another boy writes: "It is not much I can do for myself, for I
+have not been able to find anything to do to get any money, although I
+have tried hard. But a friend has just given me a chance to assist him
+in his school for a couple of months. I don't know how much he will
+pay me, but you shall have <i>every cent</i> I <i>do</i> get. I do want to come

+<h2>The Indians.</h2>
+
+
+<p>There has been an interesting revival at Ponca Church, Nebraska, under
+the direction of Rev. James Garvie, our Indian pastor.</p>
+
+<p>The friends who attended the annual meeting of the Association at
+Lowell will remember Mr. Garvie very pleasantly, as he was one of the
+speakers on that occasion. He is as successful in the great work which
+comes to him, as the pastor of one of our churches on the prairie, as
+he<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_161" id="Page_161">[Pg 161]</a></span> was in telling the story of the work among his people to Eastern
+congregations.</p>
+
+<p>Even the building of a barn at the prairie mission may be turned to
+the spiritual advantage of the Indian people, as is proved by the
+experience of Miss Mary P. Lord at Flying By's Village, N. D. The
+following extract, from a recent letter of hers, tells the story most
+interestingly. Frank and Daisy are her horses, who are really
+four-footed missionaries. Miss Lord writes: "On Sunday the ponies took
+me twelve miles to conduct service at Oak Creek Sub-Agency, where my
+people were gathered for the Monday morning issue of rations. Service
+over at noon, a drink of water and a feed of grain, and then two hours
+and a half later we were twenty miles away to attend afternoon service
+at Little-Eagle's village, where I played the organ for the English
+singing of the boarding-school children there. Yesterday they brought
+me to Fort Yates, thirty miles."</p>

+<h3>HUT AND HEAVEN.</h3>
+
+<div class="center">BY REV. C. L. HALL, FT. BERTHOLD, N. D.</div>
+
+
+<p>Three years ago in our visit to the Indian homes, we found
+Netkuschiripas (Little Eagle) on his bed unable to get out of the
+house. Mary, his wife, washed for white people, hoed corn, and
+tenderly cared for him. He told me he believed in Jesus and would join
+us as soon as he could come out. It did not seem that he ever would
+get better then, but his faith put new life into his body, and two
+years and a half ago he was baptized in church, and got about to do a
+little work now and then. This fall his working days came to an end.
+He could only lie on his bed or sit in the sun at the door. Mary had
+to haul the firewood and nurse him, as well as work out. For a while
+they stayed at a neighbor's house, but an old Indian woman insisted
+that he should wear his beads and other heathen adornments. He refused
+to do so, saying that now he was a different person. As this annoyance
+was kept up he and Mary left and stayed by themselves in a dug-out on
+the south side of a bank on the edge of a willow bottom. His bed was a
+few boards with a straw mattress and a few quilts. The room was
+lighted by a single sash&mdash;the rude shelter of two of God's children.
+When he felt himself sinking, he said: I do not know what God's will
+for me is, but whatever it is I am ready. I have no fears. The day
+before he died he said: I have one heart. I trust only in Jesus; I
+have said this to you often. We laid him away just after the morning
+meeting last Sunday. This is not extraordinary; we are glad so many
+are like John and Mary. Twice the gates have opened this winter for
+us, and now part of our church gather above and part here. Five more
+are to confess their faith at the next communion. Pray for these
+little ones.</p>

+<h2>The Chinese.</h2>
+
+<h3>THE LOS ANGELES MISSION.</h3>
+
+<div class="center">BY. REV. WM. C. POND, D.D.</div>
+
+
+<p>An interesting letter from Mrs. Rice, wife of Rev. O. V. Rice, who has
+charge of our mission at this prosperous and ambitious metropolis of
+Southern California, prompts me to give my space this month to a
+review of our work there. It had already begun when, twenty-two years
+ago, I became superintendent. I tried to visit it in the spring of
+1874, but a severe storm on our usually placid Pacific delayed our
+steamer so long that I could spend only a few hours there. This was
+sufficient, however, to show me that we had a good teacher and some
+very promising pupils, but an indifference to contend with on the part
+of American Christians which was both surprising and painful.</p>
+
+<p>A few months after this I heard that Rev. Ira M. Condit, a missionary
+recently returned from China, able to talk the Chinese language
+fluently, and a very estimable brother, had gone to Los Angeles to
+establish a Presbyterian mission. I did not hear of it by letter from
+him nor from any one connected with the Presbyterian work in this
+State. Denominational comity just then had not reached in the minds of
+our Presbyterian brethren sufficient dignity to call even for a bow in
+recognition. But I waived this matter, and believing that, with his
+manifest advantages, he could do better work than we, and that there
+was not room enough in the field, as it then was, for two missions, I
+turned over to him our whole school&mdash;pupils, teacher, and whatever
+conveniences or good-will we had gathered&mdash;and retired from the
+locality. It was about two months only when I heard of six or eight
+conversions in the Presbyterian Chinese mission of Los Angeles, but
+they were the very ones of whom our teacher had spoken hopefully to me
+on my visit to the city.</p>
+
+<p>An interval of several years occurred. The great boom came, and Los
+Angeles sprang to the front among the inland cities of the State and
+boasted that before long San Francisco would be one of its suburbs.
+The Chinese population increased to about 6,000. Among these were many
+of our own brethren and several who were members of my own church.
+They pleaded for a Congregational mission, and showed that because the
+two Presbyterian missions were at one end of the Chinese quarter, and
+there was nothing of the sort at the other end, nearly a mile distant,
+there was a large field for us where we would come into no
+competition, and where all that we might do would be a distinct
+addition to the work done for Christ among their countrymen. We
+yielded to their persuasions and found their prediction amply
+verified. Our school became at once the largest and our work the most
+active and fruitful in the<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_163" id="Page_163">[Pg 163]</a></span> city. In the four months ending with
+August 31, 1888, 133 pupils were enrolled, and the average membership
+month by month was 69. Street-preaching, hand-to-hand evangelistic
+work, and the skillful, faithful labor of our teacher, Mrs. Sheldon,
+and our enthusiastic helper, Loo Quong, were used of God for the
+conversion of many souls.</p>
+
+<p>But as in other specially delightful places for homes, persons
+multiplied who desired to enter into this missionary work. Instead of
+three, there came to be six or eight missions there. Competition
+ensued. Our school, though comparing well with any, was reduced in
+size and influence, and as we began to be straitened for funds and
+there were many points where no one was caring for Chinese souls, our
+aid was withdrawn and I supposed the work would cease. Not so. Our
+Chinese brethren clung to each other and to their own mission work.
+They rented quarters neither spacious nor comfortable, but cheap, and
+contrived, with the aid of one true-hearted Christian woman, to keep
+up their school, maintain their Association, add four members to it as
+converts to the Christian life, and present seven of their number to
+the First Congregational Church for baptism. We felt that a mission
+with such "grit and grace" deserved to live. <i>Long may it live!</i></p>
+
+<p>Three persons converted at this mission have been brought into our
+work as missionary helpers. Many have testified for Christ in their
+own land.</p>
+
+<p>At present it is in excellent working order and our Christian Chinese
+are enthusiastic, generous, and at peace among themselves. Let me copy
+a few sentences from a letter from one of them who was temporarily at
+work at Pasadena. "I am very sorry for I left our school. Pray God for
+me that I may be back to it again. You will be kind and teach our
+people; that is such good work for you. God will want thus such person
+[<i>i.e.</i>, God wants persons who do as you do.&mdash;W. C. P.] You very much
+interest our people. May God reward it to you! Before I went to the
+mission school I never thought to be a Christian; now I did do it. I
+am very thankful God has direct me out from the superstition to find
+pathway about the truth, God and Heavenly Father. Now I am feel such
+good comfort in my mind, but I do not satisfy [I am not satisfied] to
+know the salvation alone, but needed you pray for my countrymen that
+they all find life in Jesus Christ."</p>
+
+<p>And now for an extract, briefer than I desired to make, from Mrs.
+Rice's letter: "Last night we gave a farewell reception to our
+brother, Yon Mon, who is about to leave for China. The brethren seized
+this opportunity to present to a lady from Norristown, Pa., who has
+kindly helped our work, a very nice letter of thanks with their names
+signed to it. A gentleman who came to the city with her, and who is
+about to open a fine store here, attended her to the mission house,
+out of<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_164" id="Page_164">[Pg 164]</a></span> courtesy but very reluctantly, for he was bitterly opposed to
+Chinese and to any and all efforts made for them. The brethren took
+him for a friend and when introduced shook hands. He said it 'was as
+much as his life was worth' to extend his hand in response to theirs.
+But the same sense of courtesy constrained him to come with his friend
+a second evening, and at its close he asked if he might be permitted
+to say a word 'just to the boys.' Whereupon he expressed his pleasure
+at all he had seen since coming into the school, and advised the boys
+to keep right on doing right. They would meet bitter enemies among the
+Americans, but not to mind them but go right forward. Then he
+announced that if by February 5 we would have thirty regular pupils,
+he would make the school 'a handsome present.' I wish some of the
+other opponents of our work could in like manner be <i>compelled</i> to see
+our schools. Seeing would be believing, would it not?"</p>
+
+<p>The latest contribution of our Los Angeles Mission to our general work
+is Jue See, who has come to take Yip Bow's place (Yip Bow also having
+come from the same mission) as helper in Oakland and at the West
+School in this city, while Yip Bow goes to Sacramento. I am greatly
+pleased with him. He will, when trained for the work (and we train for
+work mainly <i>by working</i>), make one of the best of our Chinese
+helpers.</p>
+
+<p>I add just one word of good news. Our teachers are <i>all</i> paid in full
+for last year's work. Their faith has not been put to shame. Two of
+our Chinese helpers still lack something, and two other creditors will
+probably have to make large donations in order to square their
+accounts, but I <i>know</i> that <i>one</i> of them will not complain, and the
+other will be doing only what she promised, and while I fear it may be
+a hardship, it is no greater hardship than almost every landlord or
+landlady, in these days of pressure, has been forced to undergo. So I
+feel like singing the Doxology!</p>

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

+1.E.8.  You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+http://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact
+information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official
+page at http://pglaf.org
+
+For additional contact information:
+     Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+     Chief Executive and Director
+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+THE JUBILEE YEAR FUND.
+
+
+In the last number of THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY we published the plea of
+the Executive Committee of this Association for an offering to relieve
+the Association in its financial necessities. We present below the
+working point of that document in these words:
+
+     It is proposed to raise during the next six months a special
+     Jubilee Year Fund of $100,000, in shares of $50 each, with the
+     hope and expectation that these shares will be taken by the
+     friends of missions without lessening those regular
+     contributions which must be depended upon to sustain the
+     current work.
+
+As the means of securing these gifts we subjoin the blank form of a
+pledge, which, when signed by individuals or officers of churches, may
+be sent to H. W. Hubbard, Treasurer, Bible House, New York. When the
+amount pledged is paid our treasurer will send as a receipt a neatly
+printed certificate. On another page will be found a list of pledges
+already made.
+
+We solicit especial attention to the closing paragraph of the sentence
+quoted above, asking that these special gifts _shall not lessen the
+regular contributions_, upon which the Association must depend to
+sustain the current work.
+
+We send forth this appeal under a deep sense of responsibility. We
+know that business is still depressed and that many of the friends to
+whom we make this plea have responded generously to the calls of
+sister missionary societies. But we feel that it is a duty we owe to
+God and to the needy peoples for whom we labor to attempt the relief
+of this Association in its embarrassing and hindering liabilities. We
+confidently believe that many of the churches and generous
+individuals to whom we make this plea, feel as we do, a sense of duty
+and responsibility in this important matter. Some to whom this may
+come may be able to respond at once with a pledge of _one_ or _more_
+shares. But to those who cannot, we urge that they lay by in store as
+God may prosper them the means for as prompt a response as possible to
+our call.

+
+  THE JUBILEE YEAR FUND
+  OF THE
+  AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION.
+
+  I hereby take ...... shares (Fifty Dollars each) in the Jubilee Year
+  Fund of the American Missionary Association, to be paid before the
+  close of the fiscal year, Sept. 30, 1896.

+
+ARREST OF OUR TEACHERS IN ORANGE PARK, FLORIDA.
+
+
+Rev. T. S. Perry, of Limerick, Me.; Mr. O. S. Dickinson, of West
+Granville, Mass.; Principal B. D. Rowlee, of East Woodstock, Conn.;
+Mrs. B. D. Rowlee; Miss Edith M. Robinson, of Battle Creek, Mich.;
+Miss H. S. Loveland, of Newark Valley, N. Y.; and Miss Margaret Ball,
+of Orange Park, Fla., with two patrons of the school (white) residing
+in Orange Park, were all arrested by the Sheriff at Orange Park, Fla.,
+on Friday the 10th of April, charged with the crime of teaching young
+people of two races under the same roof. They were not taken to jail,
+but were given until Monday--the intervening days of Saturday and
+Sunday--to procure bail. This esteemed pastor of the Congregational
+Church in Orange Park, the most worthy teachers and the patrons are
+awaiting trial for this crime! and are only saved from jail by the
+bail which has been procured for them. This is as far as the State of
+Florida has descended in its shame at present.
+
+This enactment, which we have been careful not to call a law, was
+pronounced by the National Council to be "not only repugnant to
+Christian principles, but also opposed to the civil rights guaranteed
+by our Constitution," and the Association was called to persistently
+resist it with all legal measures.
+
+Senator Hoar of Massachusetts writes of it: "I am amazed that even in
+Florida such things can be done. I think that this cannot stand a
+moment before the Courts of the United States."
+
+Arrests of Christian teachers because they instruct a few white
+children under the same roof with colored children will not only call
+the attention of the Nation to the gross darkness which dwells in the
+minds of those who could make such an enactment, but it will bring
+about a public opinion which will hasten the progress of the State
+from its present low condition faster than almost any other agency.
+
+Meanwhile Florida remains in shame.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+The Hamilton Club has added the name of a colored man to the list of
+its members. It is the first of the leading men's social organizations
+in Chicago to abolish the color line. This special honor was conferred
+upon Adelbert H. Roberts. The name passed the test of posting and the
+directors were unanimous in his favor.--_Chicago Times-Herald._

+
+HORSE NEEDED.--A faithful minister in our mountain field has great
+need of a horse. He reaches half a dozen preaching-stations among
+these Highlanders, often going on foot. Fifty dollars would purchase
+him a good horse, and if any friend will respond to this appeal it
+will increase the efficiency of an earnest missionary very greatly. If
+a larger amount than this is received it will be expended in the work
+among these mountain people.

+
+JUBILEE FIELD DAYS IN THE INTERIOR.
+
+SECRETARY CHARLES J. RYDER.
+
+
+A reduction in the secretarial force of the American Missionary
+Association, in order to cut down current expenses and decrease the
+debt, has resulted in a serious loss in the effectiveness of the
+collecting field. The office at Cleveland, together with a most
+efficient and acceptable district secretary, was discontinued for
+economy's sake. The expenses, however, had to be cut down in some way,
+and so the burden was placed upon one of the secretaries in the New
+York office. With multiform duties already upon the hands of each one
+in the administration of the mission field, and almost constant Sunday
+service among the contributing churches, it seemed almost impossible
+to take up this new burden of work, which in some societies involves
+the constant labor of a large number of secretaries. To accomplish an
+undertaking which seemed almost impossible the pastors were conferred
+with, and cordially and generously promised all the assistance within
+their power for the American Missionary Association in its depleted
+condition. Right royally did these good brethren redeem their pledge.
+
+A series of Jubilee Field Days was planned and carried out with great
+success and interest, largely through the co-operation of these
+faithful brethren in the ministry of the churches in the interior.
+
+Just a word concerning the plan adopted. A campaign of five weeks was
+planned. Jubilee Field Day Rallies were to be held twice every weekday
+except Saturday, and as many times on the Sabbath as possible. Ohio,
+Michigan, and Indiana were the States to be reached.
+
+The purpose of the campaign was to instruct and stimulate the churches
+and congregations reached. It was also hoped that the collections
+would pay all the expenses of this effort to scatter missionary
+information and enthusiasm, and that the regular collections of the
+churches would be largely increased.
+
+The speakers consisted of the pastors of the several churches and
+missionaries from the fields, and the writer of this article. Just a
+word in reference to these friends who presented the work to the
+churches. The value of the address of the pastor in each case was very
+great. Standing on the vantage ground that an honored and beloved
+pastor occupies in any church and community, his indorsement and
+earnest and discriminating commendation carried greatest weight. I
+desire thus publicly to recognize the service of those generous
+brethren in the ministry to the American Missionary Association. That
+service was large.
+
+The colored work was represented by Rev. George V. Clark, pastor of
+the Congregational Church at Memphis, Tenn. Born a slave, rescued by
+an American Missionary Association missionary from the degrading
+influences of a saloon into which he drifted as a lad when freedom
+came and no other opening was before him, his testimony and earnest
+appeal stirred the deepest convictions of his hearers. The quaint old
+slave melodies, which Mr. Clark sometimes heard as a boy in slave
+times, and often since by those who are freemen now, he rendered with
+peculiar effect. The weird and quaint pathos of these songs coming
+originally from the crushed and bleeding hearts of slaves, held the
+large audiences in hushed and sympathetic attention. Is there anything
+in the world like these slave songs sung by those who have known the
+bitterness of slavery?
+
+From far-away Dakota Miss Dora K. Dodge brought the message to these
+several gatherings, of the discouragement and want, the hopefulness
+and progress, of the Christian work among the Indians. Her mission,
+seventy-five miles out on the prairie, with only Christian
+Indians--John Bluecloud and his wife--for associates, is of unique
+interest and importance. No one could have told the story of this
+wonderful movement among the red people of the prairie with more
+simple and earnest eloquence than did Miss Dodge.
+
+Rev. W. G. Olinger, a native mountaineer, presented the work "Among
+the American Highlanders." Born in the humble cabin of the
+mountaineer, stirred from his earliest boyhood with the great desire
+for education and improvement, he struggled up through great
+discouragements, until to-day he can stand on any platform with
+interest to those who hear and with honor to himself. His manly
+presence is the illustration of the wonderful possibilities of these
+mountaineers; and his story is their agonizing cry for the light and
+opportunities which only an intelligent gospel and educational
+privileges such as the American Missionary Association is bringing,
+can satisfy.
+
+The secretary, who had charge of the campaign, presented "The Claims
+of the American Missionary Association on this Jubilee Year."
+
+The immediate results of this series of Jubilee Field Days were most
+encouraging. Nearly twenty thousand people gathered in the various
+audiences. Lincoln Memorial Day, celebrated at Oberlin, was most
+delightfully spent. Every service during the day, including
+Sunday-school, Mission Circle, Endeavor Society, as well as church
+services, was an American Missionary Association rally.
+
+On the Sabbath large churches and towns were reached. During the week
+important centers were selected, and many surrounding churches sent
+pastors and delegates to the Jubilee Field Day services.
+
+From a financial standpoint the result was also encouraging. More than
+three times as much was gathered as the campaign cost, and pastors and
+church members everywhere testified that the meetings were resultful
+in spiritual uplift and blessing, as well as in stimulating interest
+and greatly increased gifts.
+
+The general feeling seemed to be that this was American Missionary
+Association year, and that during this Jubilee season the specials
+should float into this treasury and the regular contributions should
+be greatly increased. While _en route_ the joyful message came to us
+that the Board and the Home Missionary Society were both out of debt.
+When announced from various pulpits by American Missionary Association
+speakers, this glorious fact met with cordial applause. All the more
+did it seem incumbent upon the churches to take hold of the American
+Missionary Association, still burdened with its debt, and lift it out
+of the slough of financial despond. This, however, is only the
+reflection of the feeling among the churches throughout the land. The
+determination to lift the debt of the American Missionary Association,
+and to make it possible to continue at least its depleted work, is
+universal. Special collections, regular contributions, and hundreds of
+individuals taking the fifty-dollar shares in the Jubilee fund, will
+accomplish this most desirable result.

+
+THE OPENING CHURCH MISSIONS.
+
+BY SECRETARY F. P. WOODBURY.
+
+
+The Eureka Church-Arbor, shown below, sheltered the opening service of
+the new plantation missions in Southern Georgia. The people came under
+the shadows of the piney woods from every quarter. The first mission
+church was organized under this rude booth. There the meetings
+continued until the cold and rainy months of winter. Now, by the help
+of a grant from the Church Building Society, a small church building
+will speedily become the home of a beneficent church and school work.
+
+[Illustration: THE EUREKA CHURCH-ARBOR.]
+
+This church of the forest took its start from the earnest convictions
+of its pastor, Rev. J. B. Fletcher. After long study of the New
+Testament, with the help of few other books than his tattered Greek
+lexicon, he resigned his ecclesiastical connection because he had
+found, as he thought, the free church polity on Bible principles. His
+discovery was substantially the Congregational system. He called his
+first church "Eureka." It now has nine other churches associated in
+the same work. A mission preacher, a devoted man residing near, a man
+who is highly respected by all the people, has immediate charge of
+the Eureka work and holds the Sunday-school and other services.
+
+[Illustration: A PASTOR'S HOME.]
+
+The abodes of many of the plantation preachers are as simple and
+humble as those of their people. We give an illustration of one of
+these homes. Usually there is a division into two or perhaps three
+rooms. Sometimes a small lean-to is built at the side or end, for use
+as kitchen. The chimney, erected on the outside, is often constructed
+of clay bound with sticks. It starts in a broad fireplace of stone,
+which warms the whole building. Some of these cabins have small glass
+windows; others of them have only openings for windows, with wooden
+shutters. In such dwellings there reside vast numbers of the
+plantation preachers, and some of our own mission preachers, at the
+early stages of mission work in the back country.
+
+[Illustration: MARIETTA CHURCH AND PARSONAGE.]
+
+The picture given herewith of the church, parsonage, and school, in
+Marietta, Georgia, illustrates very many of the American Missionary
+Association church missions in the South. A neat church, a plain but
+comfortable house, with its adjoining school-room, are the type of the
+improving influences in both religious and educational service, which
+we seek to carry among these shadowed and suffering millions.
+
+In both the Carolinas, as well as in Georgia, there is an awakening in
+the hearts of the colored people, both in the towns and in the
+country, for a better church life. This is inciting movements from the
+centralized forms of church government, with their arbitrary methods
+and hard taxation, into independency. Often the poverty of the people
+prevents their attaining anything beyond present and scanty shelter
+for their new free churches. The accompanying photograph is an
+illustration of such a chapel among the plantations of South Carolina.
+
+[Illustration: A SOUTH CAROLINA CHURCH.]
+
+In very many parts of the plantation South, the very idea of a church
+free from outside control and allied to education and morality, is
+utterly unknown. Neither education nor morality form any constituent
+element of the common church life. Their introduction is looked upon
+with suspicion by the masses, and is met by hostility in every
+possible form of persecution by many of the old-time preachers and
+their personal adherents.
+
+[Illustration: SCHOOL IN ANDERSONVILLE, GA].
+
+Nothing more contributes to the introduction of better forms of
+church life than do those mission schools which awaken the desire for
+something better in religion than the senseless and corrupt "old-time"
+ways. Such a school as that in Andersonville, Ga., is the initiative
+of a church mission. School education is of little advantage unless it
+is linked with moral training; and there is no moral training
+comparable with that of a pure and true Christian church. Our mission
+school teachers call for and need the re-enforcement of gospel
+preaching on the Lord's day, and the faithful work of a pastor during
+the week. A great deal of hard work in the school would be frittered
+away and lost without the distinctive church work which must
+supplement, and confirm it. To send the pupils back into the Egyptian
+darkness of most plantation and country churches is, for vast numbers,
+to throw away all that has been done for them. That they feel this is
+shown by the frequent and earnest appeals which come from them to have
+virtuous and educated ministers sent for the starting of better
+churches among their homes.
+
+[Illustration: SCHOOL AT KING'S MOUNTAIN]
+
+While this is the narrow and local influence of our smaller schools,
+it is also the broader and deeper influence of our larger schools,
+like that at All Healing, N. C. (King's Mountain P. O.) Here the
+religious life is intensified. A number of devoted teachers supplement
+each other's work. A unique Congregational church has been formed, its
+pastor being the principal of the school, who adds this work to all
+his other services. The influence of the constant religious work done
+in this church-school and school-church is felt a hundred miles
+around. Young men and young women go out with higher ideals, and they
+awaken a demand in their home neighborhoods for both religion and
+education of a higher character. It is not too much to say that such
+work as that of Miss Cathcart and her fellow teachers at King's
+Mountain tends toward a general advance of the communities from which
+her pupils come.
+
+[Illustration: HAGAN COUNC'L.]
+
+In Georgia, after the Eureka church movement was noised about, Mr.
+Fletcher received and now receives calls from every side, chiefly from
+the plantation people. At Piney Grove, a preaching station was begun
+in an old dwelling house, and a little church of twelve members is the
+result. At Shady Grove, ten miles away, a small church building is
+going up for the brotherhood there. The ground was given and the work
+of building is carried on by a respectable colored farmer of the
+neighborhood, who with many of his neighbors welcomes a church
+fellowship which stands for education and pure religion. At Alford, in
+the adjoining county, there is now a membership of thirty-two, for
+whose use a comfortable church building is furnished by the white
+people. This, with Nellwood as an out-station, will probably soon
+receive an excellent pastor, trained in our Congregational ways and
+principles. A beginning has been made at Portal, twelve miles beyond.
+In the next county westward, the church work began at Swainsboro with
+twenty-nine members, at Kemp with seventeen members, near Garfield
+with thirteen members, and at Pilgrim with twenty-three members.
+
+Word comes to us that Mr. Fletcher, who is covering three counties in
+his work, has lost his faithful horse. This quite disables him from
+service. His fields lie at distances which make walking impossible,
+being from ten to fifty miles apart. The same day with this loss a
+member of the family, a young man, was brought home suffering from a
+broken leg. Are there not means which can reach us in the form of a
+special gift for the emergency of this faithful pioneer worker?
+Anything received beyond the immediate stress of need, will be placed
+to the support of his work.
+
+The Hagan Council, called for the orderly recognition of these poor
+struggling pioneer churches, met in an old half-ruined school-house,
+as shown in the picture given herewith. It was a humble place, and
+they were humble bodies of poor people who thus asked recognition from
+the Congregational churches of the land. But it is not for us to
+despise the poor. Has not God chosen the poor of this world, rich in
+faith, and heirs of the kingdom? That little group in front of that
+poor old school-house may become historic as the precursor of a great
+movement of blessing to millions among the poorest of the poor in our
+nation.

+
+GRACIOUS REVIVAL IN SELMA, ALA.
+
+BY REV. A. T. BURNELL.
+
+
+You will be interested to hear of the gracious revival we have had the
+past three weeks under the lead of the English Evangelist, Rev. James
+Wharton. Over 400 have professed Christ, and of these 140 were
+enrolled in Burrell School. To the very end of the meetings,
+"mourners" came forward, once in the church as many as fifty; but this
+was exceeded in immediate results at two schools where as many as
+fifty accepted Christ, after the briefest address. Following the
+Oberlin plan, I offered prayer with each class one day; the next, I
+suspended my recitations for a continuous prayer-meeting, permitting
+pupils to elect this instead of a class or study-period (certain
+grades, certain hours). At another time, instead of chapel the
+grade-teachers retained the Christians while the rest were addressed
+in the chapel,--the majority falling to their knees for prayer to rise
+in peace. Of course we have had regular prayer-meetings, with
+volunteer room gatherings at noon and like groups in the yards at
+intermission. When, on account of the late meetings each night, it
+seemed best to close at noon, most of the school gathered for a
+meeting in the chapel; and, with several after meetings, large numbers
+spent that half-holiday in the building, praying for and laboring with
+classmates. A member of Grade Eleven, for whom special effort had
+been made, came out at this time.
+
+Some of the converts have made detailed confession of sins (stealing,
+_e.g._); some who have been neglectful of school privileges have
+returned to get the religious impetus; and at least two that had been
+dismissed for meanness have experienced a change of heart. We shall
+look for permanent results, and work to that end with hope; yet this
+people are so emotional and so stolid! so ready to move along a
+certain line in a body, but indifferent to duty when it leads along an
+uninteresting path of individual effort. Indeed, the home life of many
+is unfavorable to genuine Christianity; some being persecuted, even,
+because they have not seen a vision, till they are made to believe
+they "have got nothing."
+
+Mr. Wharton preaches the pure and simple gospel plainly and vividly;
+is attractive in person and of commanding presence. At his departure
+there were many expressions of regard and grateful remembrance, and he
+will always have a warm place in the affections of Selma people, who
+have been impressed in so short a time by the life and words of this
+man of God.

+
+COTTON VALLEY, ALA.
+
+BY A TEACHER.
+
+
+I have been asked to tell something of the work and school in Cotton
+Valley. Hence I send a little description of it as it appears to a new
+teacher, just having entered the missionary field.
+
+There are many features about the work here that make it a most
+interesting one. First, it is situated in a dense black belt, where
+the people are anxious to improve, and are appreciative of all that is
+done for them. Next, Cotton Valley is quiet and retired, being forty
+miles from Montgomery, nine from Union Springs, and thirteen from
+Tuskegee; so that, while we are enabled to teach without interruptions
+that break into school life in cities, we are yet not so far removed
+as to be incommoded when business necessitates our going to a city.
+
+Doubtless Miss Lilla V. Davis, the pioneer, founder, and principal of
+our school is well known to most of the friends and helpers of the
+American Missionary Association, but, for the sake of those who are
+not so well informed, and because hers is a story worthy of being told
+anew, I will say a word of her whom all Cotton Valley delights to
+honor. She, ten years ago, left her home in Boston, Mass., and coming
+down here under the most adverse circumstances, and in the midst of
+the lowest humanity, established this school. Her teaching in those
+days was not so much from books, but she went into the homes of the
+people and made them feel that she was one of them. She talked and
+read to them, taught them the rules of decency and virtue, and that
+cleanliness is next to godliness. Thus, step by step has she been
+leading them on until now, instead of a valley of ignorance, it is "as
+a city set on a hill, whose light cannot be hid," for instead of a
+one-room-log-cabin we have a nice, comfortable school building,
+planned and furnished in modern style. I mean by this, that what we
+have is up-to-date and not that we have all we need, for our largest
+room, the one we call and use as our chapel, needs settees,
+blackboards, maps, and lights; and last but not least, we need a
+piano, as at present our only musical instrument is a baby organ,
+which is now so nearly worn out that many of the reeds instead of
+responding to the touch of the solicitous performer sit in silence,
+considering themselves too aged to jump up and down, and take part in
+such active service.
+
+Our school this year is larger than ever, and our students, I think,
+would compare well with those of more favored schools in cities. The
+present enrollment is nearly two hundred, and when the weather is
+good, and all are in, we find the work rather heavy, as there are only
+three teachers, and we all believe in thorough work.
+
+We have a large and interesting Sunday School to which the parents as
+well as the children come; also a Christian Endeavor Society, and a
+Circle of King's Daughters.
+
+Perhaps it would be interesting to say, that the relation of the white
+people of the settlement to the school is most friendly. They respect
+Miss Davis to the highest degree, and are willing and glad to show any
+favors to her or her teachers.
+
+Thus far, I have shown you only the favorable side of the picture, but
+I would beg my readers to remember that it has also a painful side.
+Those we are teaching are the children of ancestors who have lived for
+centuries in darkness and ignorance, with only eleven years of light;
+and there is still a great work to be done here. We find it necessary
+to instruct them, not only in books, but along the lines of all the
+virtues which go to make a man a man, and a woman a woman.

+IMPARTIAL TESTIMONY.
+
+BY REV. VINCENT MOSES, NEWBURY, MASS.
+
+
+My wife and I recently spent about four weeks in New Orleans, La.
+While we were there, Straight University was constantly under our
+observation; and, without suggestion from any one, it comes to mind
+that testimony to the efficiency of American Missionary Association
+work in Straight would be welcome to you.
+
+We not only attended more than once the general morning devotional
+exercises in the "Daniel Hand Preparatory School" and the "Central
+Building," but were also present during a recitation to nearly every
+teacher in the Preparatory, Grammar, Normal, College Preparatory,
+College and Theological Departments. The departments of music,
+woodworking, sewing and printing, and also the Boarding Department
+came under our observation.
+
+The impression made upon us throughout was most favorable. The claims
+of the catalogue are fully sustained in every particular. We have been
+familiar with work in all these grades in the schools of several
+Northern States; but we have never seen more thorough work, never a
+school on the whole more satisfactory in deportment and scholarship.
+We cannot compare this with other American Missionary Association
+institutions. This is the only one we have visited. So we are glad to
+let this represent them all, and confess to a surprise in finding that
+we had never known better schools.

+
+WHAT OUR GRADUATES ARE DOING.
+
+FROM GRADUATES OF STRAIGHT UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS.
+
+
+I.
+
+     "I am principal of the public schools of Vicksburg, Miss. I
+     have been teaching fourteen years, having had charge of my
+     present work nine years. I have under my present charge eight
+     hundred pupils, all the school can accommodate. Several hundred
+     have been turned away."
+
+II.
+
+     "Am editor of the _Southwestern Christian Advocate_, and
+     practicing physician and minister. Have taught school in
+     Alabama and Louisiana."
+
+III.
+
+     "My present occupation is clerk in the War Department,
+     Washington, D. C. I have taught three years in New Orleans. I
+     graduated as doctor of medicine, April 13, from the medical
+     department of Howard University."
+
+IV.
+
+     "I am principal of the Harper Industrial Institute, Baton
+     Rouge, La. Have taught almost continuously since graduating in
+     1879. For the American Missionary Association I entertain a
+     feeling of the greatest possible gratitude. What little I am I
+     owe to the training of dear old Straight."
+
+V.
+
+     "I have been until last spring principal of the colored schools
+     of Manhattan, Kansas, since 1885."
+
+VI.
+
+     "The very name of the dear old institution is sweet to me, and
+     while those who guarded the old mother in the memorable past
+     have somewhat vanished, the purposes for which she was
+     instituted are being vigorously pushed and great good
+     accomplished. Many of her sons and daughters can be found
+     throughout this Southland engaged in the various pursuits of
+     life, doing a grand work for Christ and humanity. All honor to
+     the American Missionary Association for this excellent school,
+     and incessant praises to Him who guides and directs her
+     efforts."
+
+VII.
+
+     "I am instructor of ancient languages in Wiley University,
+     Tex.; have been since 1887. I am a member of the Louisiana
+     Conference."
+
+VIII.
+
+The following extract is of special importance as showing the breadth
+and completeness of the system of instruction of Straight University
+and the economy upon which it is based:
+
+     "I am always glad to do whatever lies in my power that will in
+     any way be beneficial to Straight University, my _alma mater_.
+     I am, as you know, a normal graduate of 1891. Though I had
+     never before taken the first thought of learning anything about
+     wood-working, I thought I would go into the shop the first day
+     anyway; and I shall always be heartily thankful that I did so.
+     From that day to the end of my course, without interruption to
+     my studies, I worked in the carpenter shop, and acquired such a
+     knowledge of carpentry that I am now able to support myself by
+     following that trade. Still more, from the knowledge I gained
+     of making pieces of furniture, such as center-tables,
+     washstands, etc., I think I could be useful in the cabinet
+     trade."
+
+IX.
+
+The following gives some idea of what the department in theology is
+doing:
+
+     "Having a desire to do something for Christ and humanity, I
+     began the study of theology and other studies at Straight, that
+     I might be thoroughly equipped, 'a workman that needeth not to
+     be ashamed.' I was compelled to give up for two years, and it
+     seemed to me that there was no use of my trying further, when
+     just then through the dark cloud the sun shone again, and I
+     hope now, if life lasts, to keep on till I finish the course.
+     All that I am, or ever expect to be, is due to Straight
+     University. May God bless her and the many friends who have
+     made it possible for us to attend."

+ALL HEALING, NORTH CAROLINA.
+
+
+During the summer about forty of our pupils taught in the public
+schools; some had eighty or ninety scholars. In this way our school
+really influences many whom we cannot reach. It is so good to see the
+interest our young teachers take in their work and how, when they find
+a bright boy or girl, they always try the first thing to induce that
+one to come to school. Then, too, we see a growing desire among the
+scholars to come into school early in the fall, and we rejoice in a
+family of fifty-seven six weeks earlier than we had the same last
+year.
+
+The richest blessing of the year has begun to fall upon us, the
+presence of the Holy Spirit leading souls to Christ. During this month
+five have felt that God had forgiven their sins. Is not that enough to
+compensate us for anything we may give up to engage in the work?

+
+
+A boy we could not receive, although we would have been glad to have
+done so, said he had worked all summer for his share of a crop which
+was about 100 bushels of corn. He would have about twenty bushels of
+the corn left after he had bought himself a few clothes, which he must
+have if he came to school, and he thought he ought to help his mother
+a little. It was his only chance to get what he so much desired. He
+realized that twenty bushels of corn, worth only about $5.00, was very
+little for him to do for himself. He would try to prove himself worthy
+of any help we could give him.
+
+Still another boy writes: "It is not much I can do for myself, for I
+have not been able to find anything to do to get any money, although I
+have tried hard. But a friend has just given me a chance to assist him
+in his school for a couple of months. I don't know how much he will
+pay me, but you shall have _every cent_ I _do_ get. I do want to come
+into school, I need the education so much; I want to make a true man."

+The Indians.
+
+
+There has been an interesting revival at Ponca Church, Nebraska, under
+the direction of Rev. James Garvie, our Indian pastor.
+
+The friends who attended the annual meeting of the Association at
+Lowell will remember Mr. Garvie very pleasantly, as he was one of the
+speakers on that occasion. He is as successful in the great work which
+comes to him, as the pastor of one of our churches on the prairie, as
+he was in telling the story of the work among his people to Eastern
+congregations.
+
+Even the building of a barn at the prairie mission may be turned to
+the spiritual advantage of the Indian people, as is proved by the
+experience of Miss Mary P. Lord at Flying By's Village, N. D. The
+following extract, from a recent letter of hers, tells the story most
+interestingly. Frank and Daisy are her horses, who are really
+four-footed missionaries. Miss Lord writes: "On Sunday the ponies took
+me twelve miles to conduct service at Oak Creek Sub-Agency, where my
+people were gathered for the Monday morning issue of rations. Service
+over at noon, a drink of water and a feed of grain, and then two hours
+and a half later we were twenty miles away to attend afternoon service
+at Little-Eagle's village, where I played the organ for the English
+singing of the boarding-school children there. Yesterday they brought
+me to Fort Yates, thirty miles."

+HUT AND HEAVEN.
+
+BY REV. C. L. HALL, FT. BERTHOLD, N. D.
+
+
+Three years ago in our visit to the Indian homes, we found
+Netkuschiripas (Little Eagle) on his bed unable to get out of the
+house. Mary, his wife, washed for white people, hoed corn, and
+tenderly cared for him. He told me he believed in Jesus and would join
+us as soon as he could come out. It did not seem that he ever would
+get better then, but his faith put new life into his body, and two
+years and a half ago he was baptized in church, and got about to do a
+little work now and then. This fall his working days came to an end.
+He could only lie on his bed or sit in the sun at the door. Mary had
+to haul the firewood and nurse him, as well as work out. For a while
+they stayed at a neighbor's house, but an old Indian woman insisted
+that he should wear his beads and other heathen adornments. He refused
+to do so, saying that now he was a different person. As this annoyance
+was kept up he and Mary left and stayed by themselves in a dug-out on
+the south side of a bank on the edge of a willow bottom. His bed was a
+few boards with a straw mattress and a few quilts. The room was
+lighted by a single sash--the rude shelter of two of God's children.
+When he felt himself sinking, he said: I do not know what God's will
+for me is, but whatever it is I am ready. I have no fears. The day
+before he died he said: I have one heart. I trust only in Jesus; I
+have said this to you often. We laid him away just after the morning
+meeting last Sunday. This is not extraordinary; we are glad so many
+are like John and Mary. Twice the gates have opened this winter for
+us, and now part of our church gather above and part here. Five more
+are to confess their faith at the next communion. Pray for these

+THE LOS ANGELES MISSION.
+
+BY. REV. WM. C. POND, D.D.
+
+
+An interesting letter from Mrs. Rice, wife of Rev. O. V. Rice, who has
+charge of our mission at this prosperous and ambitious metropolis of
+Southern California, prompts me to give my space this month to a
+review of our work there. It had already begun when, twenty-two years
+ago, I became superintendent. I tried to visit it in the spring of
+1874, but a severe storm on our usually placid Pacific delayed our
+steamer so long that I could spend only a few hours there. This was
+sufficient, however, to show me that we had a good teacher and some
+very promising pupils, but an indifference to contend with on the part
+of American Christians which was both surprising and painful.
+
+A few months after this I heard that Rev. Ira M. Condit, a missionary
+recently returned from China, able to talk the Chinese language
+fluently, and a very estimable brother, had gone to Los Angeles to
+establish a Presbyterian mission. I did not hear of it by letter from
+him nor from any one connected with the Presbyterian work in this
+State. Denominational comity just then had not reached in the minds of
+our Presbyterian brethren sufficient dignity to call even for a bow in
+recognition. But I waived this matter, and believing that, with his
+manifest advantages, he could do better work than we, and that there
+was not room enough in the field, as it then was, for two missions, I
+turned over to him our whole school--pupils, teacher, and whatever
+conveniences or good-will we had gathered--and retired from the
+locality. It was about two months only when I heard of six or eight
+conversions in the Presbyterian Chinese mission of Los Angeles, but
+they were the very ones of whom our teacher had spoken hopefully to me
+on my visit to the city.
+
+An interval of several years occurred. The great boom came, and Los
+Angeles sprang to the front among the inland cities of the State and
+boasted that before long San Francisco would be one of its suburbs.
+The Chinese population increased to about 6,000. Among these were many
+of our own brethren and several who were members of my own church.
+They pleaded for a Congregational mission, and showed that because the
+two Presbyterian missions were at one end of the Chinese quarter, and
+there was nothing of the sort at the other end, nearly a mile distant,
+there was a large field for us where we would come into no
+competition, and where all that we might do would be a distinct
+addition to the work done for Christ among their countrymen. We
+yielded to their persuasions and found their prediction amply
+verified. Our school became at once the largest and our work the most
+active and fruitful in the city. In the four months ending with
+August 31, 1888, 133 pupils were enrolled, and the average membership
+month by month was 69. Street-preaching, hand-to-hand evangelistic
+work, and the skillful, faithful labor of our teacher, Mrs. Sheldon,
+and our enthusiastic helper, Loo Quong, were used of God for the
+conversion of many souls.
+
+But as in other specially delightful places for homes, persons
+multiplied who desired to enter into this missionary work. Instead of
+three, there came to be six or eight missions there. Competition
+ensued. Our school, though comparing well with any, was reduced in
+size and influence, and as we began to be straitened for funds and
+there were many points where no one was caring for Chinese souls, our
+aid was withdrawn and I supposed the work would cease. Not so. Our
+Chinese brethren clung to each other and to their own mission work.
+They rented quarters neither spacious nor comfortable, but cheap, and
+contrived, with the aid of one true-hearted Christian woman, to keep
+up their school, maintain their Association, add four members to it as
+converts to the Christian life, and present seven of their number to
+the First Congregational Church for baptism. We felt that a mission
+with such "grit and grace" deserved to live. _Long may it live!_
+
+Three persons converted at this mission have been brought into our
+work as missionary helpers. Many have testified for Christ in their
+own land.
+
+At present it is in excellent working order and our Christian Chinese
+are enthusiastic, generous, and at peace among themselves. Let me copy
+a few sentences from a letter from one of them who was temporarily at
+work at Pasadena. "I am very sorry for I left our school. Pray God for
+me that I may be back to it again. You will be kind and teach our
+people; that is such good work for you. God will want thus such person
+[_i.e._, God wants persons who do as you do.--W. C. P.] You very much
+interest our people. May God reward it to you! Before I went to the
+mission school I never thought to be a Christian; now I did do it. I
+am very thankful God has direct me out from the superstition to find
+pathway about the truth, God and Heavenly Father. Now I am feel such
+good comfort in my mind, but I do not satisfy [I am not satisfied] to
+know the salvation alone, but needed you pray for my countrymen that
+they all find life in Jesus Christ."
+
+And now for an extract, briefer than I desired to make, from Mrs.
+Rice's letter: "Last night we gave a farewell reception to our
+brother, Yon Mon, who is about to leave for China. The brethren seized
+this opportunity to present to a lady from Norristown, Pa., who has
+kindly helped our work, a very nice letter of thanks with their names
+signed to it. A gentleman who came to the city with her, and who is
+about to open a fine store here, attended her to the mission house,
+out of courtesy but very reluctantly, for he was bitterly opposed to
+Chinese and to any and all efforts made for them. The brethren took
+him for a friend and when introduced shook hands. He said it 'was as
+much as his life was worth' to extend his hand in response to theirs.
+But the same sense of courtesy constrained him to come with his friend
+a second evening, and at its close he asked if he might be permitted
+to say a word 'just to the boys.' Whereupon he expressed his pleasure
+at all he had seen since coming into the school, and advised the boys
+to keep right on doing right. They would meet bitter enemies among the
+Americans, but not to mind them but go right forward. Then he
+announced that if by February 5 we would have thirty regular pupils,
+he would make the school 'a handsome present.' I wish some of the
+other opponents of our work could in like manner be _compelled_ to see
+our schools. Seeing would be believing, would it not?"
+
+The latest contribution of our Los Angeles Mission to our general work
+is Jue See, who has come to take Yip Bow's place (Yip Bow also having
+come from the same mission) as helper in Oakland and at the West
+School in this city, while Yip Bow goes to Sacramento. I am greatly
+pleased with him. He will, when trained for the work (and we train for
+work mainly _by working_), make one of the best of our Chinese
+helpers.
+
+I add just one word of good news. Our teachers are _all_ paid in full
+for last year's work. Their faith has not been put to shame. Two of
+our Chinese helpers still lack something, and two other creditors will
+probably have to make large donations in order to square their
+accounts, but I _know_ that _one_ of them will not complain, and the
+other will be doing only what she promised, and while I fear it may be
+a hardship, it is no greater hardship than almost every landlord or
+landlady, in these days of pressure, has been forced to undergo. So I
+feel like singing the Doxology!

+THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE
+PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
+distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at

+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.8.  You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.

+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate

+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
