+FINANCIAL.
+
+
+The receipts to December 31st, the first quarter of the fiscal year,
+are $6,586.98 more than for the same period last year--an increase
+in donations of $6,874.52, in income of $890.20, and in tuition of
+$1,652.58--a decrease in estates for current work of $2,830.32 under
+the policy of reserve legacy account.
+
+We are greatly cheered by this increase in donations. We appreciate
+the cordial response of the churches, Sunday-schools, Endeavor
+Societies and individuals to the necessities of this great work. We
+call especial attention to the efforts which are being made to
+increase the gifts of this Association for the current year
+thirty-three and one-third per cent. This is the amount of increase
+which the Council Committee of Fifteen have asked from the churches.
+The large work demands at least this per cent. of addition to the
+gifts for the current year. Will not each individual church and
+Sunday-school see that their contribution for this year is at least
+a third larger than for the former year?
+
+In addition to this amount needed for the work which has been
+established in other years, the claims of Porto Rico are pressing.
+Ten thousand dollars was a very conservative estimate of the amount
+that was needed at once in this new island territory. The churches,
+and especially the Sunday schools, have responded generously in
+bringing up the gifts to about half this amount. There is imperative
+need immediately for the full amount, properly and energetically to
+press the work in Porto Rico along the lines of Christian education
+and evangelization.

+
+THE PROGRESSIVE SOUTH.
+
+
+It is encouraging to note the signs of progress at the South towards
+meeting the heavy responsibilities of the situation. It is a mistake
+to imagine that the Southern situation does not improve from year to
+year. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions, appreciate the trend
+of events and the necessity for the elevation of the depressed
+millions with whom they are intermingled. The Southern tragedies of
+murder and violence have awakened the same horror in their hearts as
+throughout the country at large. There is a rising sentiment against
+lynching and for enforcing justice by the cold and passionless
+execution of law. There is a strong desire to give the advantages of
+education to both the ignorant whites and the ignorant blacks. There
+is a growing sympathy for the beneficent efforts to this end which
+are put forth from the North.
+
+It is a great mistake to confuse the whole South with certain lower
+elements in its vast and varied populations. It is also a mistake to
+imagine that sporadic instances of violence here and there are
+sufficient indices of the situation at large. Millions of the
+Southern whites and blacks are dwelling together in amity and co
+operation for the advance of education and for moral progress.
+Illustrations are multiplying on every side of the desire on the
+part of the progressive South to fulfil the duties and meet the
+heavy responsibilities thrust upon it by the masses of population
+submerged in ignorance.
+
+These immense masses are the burden not only of the South, but of
+the American people at large. Ignorant labor is shiftless and
+wasteful labor. The growth of varied and inter-related manufactures
+cannot rest upon a labor element of clumsiness and stupidity. Civil
+duties demand intelligence and morals. The best patriotism of the
+South joins hands with that of the North in the elevation of the
+lowly and ignorant. What has been done is only the initiation of the
+ten times more which must be done.
+
+It is a significant fact that the last national census showed that
+the white illiteracy of the South was deeper than even the foreign
+illiteracy of the North; while that of the Southern black population
+was fearfully darker. Both public and private efforts are being made
+in countless communities of the South to begin the lifting of this
+great burden. Some of the States have already taken encouraging
+measures in this direction. While there are reactions, the general
+tide is that of progress. It is easy to make too much of the violent
+reactionary outcries of a few Southern newspapers. It must be
+remembered that these shrill expostulations against progress are
+comparatively isolated and do not represent the general and
+deliberate sense of the intelligent South. The day has come when
+intelligent leaders, North and South, can unite their efforts and
+push forward the work of popular upliftment throughout the South.
+The lesson of the hour is not that of impatience and denunciation,
+but of mutual sympathy and co-operation. The hopeful progress of the
+past is a presage to the magnificent progress assured to the
+immediate future.
+
+No more timely words have been spoken than those of a Southern
+philanthropist when he said: "The Negro must be educated. It is
+absolutely necessary to both races that his education go on. In our
+extremity we look to wise and just people in the Northern States to
+help us to help both races."

+
+GREETINGS TO PORTO RICANS.
+
+
+At a meeting of the representatives of the different benevolent
+societies of our Protestant denominations who are entering upon
+mission work in Porto Rico a committee was appointed to draw up
+a paper containing a greeting to these people. The paper was to
+be published in Spanish and English. The copies in English were
+to go especially to the missionaries to be scattered among
+English-speaking people. The Spanish translation was intended for
+the native Porto Ricans. This paper was signed by representatives
+of different denominations as will be seen. This broad,
+comprehensive and loving message from the Christians of America to
+the people of Porto Rico, who are now a part of our own country,
+must meet the approval of all those interested in the progress of
+the Kingdom of God rather than some narrow denominational victory.
+This greeting to the Porto Ricans is as follows:
+
+"We rejoice that your beautiful island has become part of the United
+States. We take you by the hand as fellow-citizens of this Republic.
+We pray that you may share fully with us in all the blessings it has
+to give. We have come among you to show our interest in and our
+sympathy with you, and to do what we can to help you and your
+children toward the larger life that is possible to us all.
+
+"We come to you as we have gone to all other parts of our beloved
+land--as messengers of the gospel of Jesus Christ our Saviour. We
+have come as brethren in Christ, as joint-members of that spiritual
+body of which He is the head, to preach and teach among you, and
+thus in mutual helpfulness to build up the Kingdom of our common
+Lord and to answer His prayer 'that they all may be one,' and that
+His will may 'be done in earth as it is in heaven.'
+
+"We are agreed in the great truths of our holy religion, and we will
+work together that they may produce in this historic island all the
+choicest fruits of Christian life and culture. We would teach the
+children the way of eternal life, and bring to the men and
+women--full of cares and burdens--the rest and comfort and hope that
+come through faith in the Saviour. And so shall they and we all be
+brethren and sisters in Christ.
+
+"These are the common purposes that bring us hither. In the name of
+our common Master we pray you give us and our preachers welcome, and
+join your labors with ours that this island, so charming in its
+natural features, may more and more have the beauty of a pure and
+purifying religion. Then happy will be your homes and happy your
+people--as Holy Scriptures declare, 'Happy is that people whose God
+is the Lord.' Education will brighten the lives of the children;
+Christian morality will stand guard in every community against sin,
+and the peace which Christ promised to His people will rest upon us
+and ours.
+
+"Praying for God's richest blessings upon you, beloved people of
+Porto Rico, and asking your co-operation with us, we are
+
+  Yours in Gospel of Jesus Christ,
+
+  (Signed) C. L. THOMPSON,

+PIONEERS IN PORTO RICO.
+
+SECRETARY CHARLES. J. RYDER.
+
+
+The opening of this new island territory for the Christian schools
+and the evangelistic work of the American Missionary Association is
+of great interest. Many questions are naturally asked by those who
+are in sympathetic touch with this new and important movement.
+
+_Who have gone to this field? Where have they gone and what fields
+are opening? Why have they gone?_ These questions present themselves
+to the attention of those who have watched with great interest the
+opening of this island to an intelligent and progressive Christian
+influence. Let us answer these questions in this article.
+
+[Illustration: A SHACK--A PEASANT'S RESIDENCE.]
+
+First, who have gone in this pioneer band of missionaries to Porto
+Rico?
+
+The educational work is especially under the care and direction of
+Prof. Charles B. Scott and his wife. Prof Scott is a graduate of
+Rutgers College and of Oswego State Normal School. He is a teacher
+of many years' experience and thoroughly qualified for the
+establishment and direction of the educational work of the
+Association among this people. Mrs. Scott, a graduate of Michigan
+University, also takes an active part in this work. They are both
+devoted Christians, and the religious quickening and spiritual
+elevation of the people comprise an important part of their
+efforts.
+
+[Illustration: MISS JULIA D. FERRIS.]
+
+Miss Julia D. Ferris goes from Saginaw, Michigan. She received her
+education at Wellesley College after leaving the High School of her
+own city. She has been a teacher for several years and has attained
+marked success in this work.
+
+[Illustration: MISS ISABEL FRENCH.]
+
+Miss Isabel French is a graduate of a classical school in New York
+City and pursued a post-graduate course at Barnard College. She has
+had large experience in teaching and in Christian and philanthropic
+work, which qualifies her for this mission field.
+
+[Illustration: MISS JENNIE L. BLOWERS.]
+
+Miss Jennie L. Blowers has already had experience in the mission
+schools of the American Missionary Association, having taught in
+Chandler Normal School at Lexington, Ky. Her home is in Westfield,
+New York. She was reappointed to work in the South, but was ready to
+enter this more distant island field. She is well qualified for this
+new work.
+
+[Illustration: MISS KATHERINE M. ROWLEY.]
+
+Miss Katherine M. Rowley comes from Oberlin, Ohio, being a member of
+the First Congregational Church of that city. She is a graduate of
+Oberlin College and is cordially recommended for this missionary
+service by her professors and teachers.
+
+Miss Mary L. Daniels is a member of Dr. Munger's church in New
+Haven, Conn. She has been a teacher in the public schools, where she
+has attained a high position as a very competent instructor. She
+takes with her the regard and confidence of a large circle of
+friends and there is every prospect of her abundant success.
+
+[Illustration: MISS MARY L. DANIELS.]
+
+All these teachers understand the Spanish language to some extent.
+This is essential, in order to do the work in Porto Rico.
+
+Rev. John Edwards, a pastor from Ohio, has been sent out by the
+Association as an evangelist in this same field. The preaching of
+the gospel is greatly needed, and Mr. Edwards' circuit covers a
+large area in evangelistic services. He is in eastern Porto Rico,
+where there is scarcely any other missionary work.
+
+And so this little band of eight devoted men and women have entered
+upon the pioneer work in opening up Porto Rico to an intelligent
+gospel. They have gone out with the prayers and sympathy of
+thousands of those who have been greatly interested in the important
+work in this island territory. The future promises large things in
+the building up of Christian character and the establishment of
+progressive Christian institutions.
+
+[Illustration: REV. JOHN EDWARDS,
+
+_Evangelist_.]
+
+_Where have these missionaries gone?_ They landed first at San Juan,
+on the northeastern portion of the island. They established a school
+at Santurce, which is a few miles distant from San Juan. From this
+field Miss Blowers writes as follows:
+
+[Illustration: AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION SCHOOL, SANTURCE.]
+
+"The schoolhouse opens on the street (the military road), where
+there is a constant stream of passers by. There is not an hour in
+the day that there are not spectators peering in at doors and
+windows with idle curiosity or eager interest. Sometimes there are
+not more than three or four, but often as many as eighteen or
+twenty. Let me tell you of the various persons who composed this
+outside audience, as I watched them one morning. A native policeman,
+a business man waiting for his car, three beggars, boys with large
+trays of bread, fruit and sweetmeats on their heads, a washerwoman
+with a huge basket of clothes poised securely on her head, the
+driver of an ox-cart, who stopped his team while we sang "America,"
+three women going to market, a party of daintily dressed,
+sweet-faced senoritas with their chaperone, a dirty, wild-looking
+old hag who almost frightened me, a young mother carrying a naked
+baby in her arms, and boys--well, it was no use to count them. What
+do you think? Are we not being well advertised?"
+
+[Illustration: ON THE MILITARY ROAD FROM SAN JUAN TO LARES.]
+
+Great care was taken in locating these schools. Rev. A. F. Beard,
+Senior Secretary of the A. M. A., and Rev. William H. Ward, D.D., a
+member of the Executive Committee, visited the island to examine the
+conditions and discover the best points for such work. Prof. Scott,
+after reaching the island, also made thorough investigation
+concerning the most important location. He wrote after reaching
+Porto Rico: "The railroad from Arecibo is impassable. I hired a pony
+and a boy to guide me and started for the town. The only way of
+traveling now, except on military roads, is by pony. I had never
+ridden two miles on horseback in my life, but it had to be done and
+I am still intact, and have ridden twenty to twenty-five miles
+to-day without even getting stiff. We reached Arecibo, having to
+ford or ferry streams five times. There were no bridges left.
+
+"Friday I rode to Lares, eighteen miles over the roughest trail
+imaginable. Much of it is as steep as a stairway, with stones of all
+sizes replacing the steps. But I managed to stick to my pony. We
+reached Lares at eight o'clock, the eighteen miles taking nine
+hours, with three hours at noon waiting for the rain to cease."
+
+Lares, a town of 3,000 population, is situated in the western part
+of the island. It was finally decided that this should be the place
+for the second school planted by the American Missionary
+Association. Prof. Scott writes also: "Lares is a very pleasant
+place, built around the top of a hill, the best residences at the
+top, with best possible drainage and supplied with excellent spring
+water. I had a letter to the Alcalde (Mayor) and to the leading
+doctor of the town, a very intelligent man, who speaks English. I
+examined several buildings and found one admirably adapted to our
+purpose. It is central, with a large room on the ground floor and
+five bedrooms, a dining room and kitchen for the teachers.
+Everything is in excellent order. The sanitary condition, with some
+changes, cannot be surpassed. The house seems just built for our
+purpose, and with a minimum expense can be enlarged to give two
+good-sized dormitories. All the people whom I saw were very much
+interested in our work. The city can do nothing. They have paid no
+salaries for months."
+
+The schools at Lares and Santurce represent the present educational
+work of the Association in Porto Rico. Both schools are well under
+way and large numbers of eager pupils are in attendance. Prof. Scott
+wrote so urgently for reinforcements in order to meet the needs
+already pressing, that an additional missionary teacher was sent in
+January. Miss Johanna Blinka was selected for this important
+mission, as she was thoroughly acquainted with the Spanish language
+and had had large experience in educational and missionary work.
+This completes the force of eight teachers already engaged in the
+educational work under the American Missionary Association in the
+island of Porto Rico.
+
+Rev. John Edwards has begun work in the eastern part of the island.
+There are few missionaries here and the opportunities for
+evangelistic work are pressing. The following interesting facts were
+received under recent date from Mr. Edwards: He writes from Fajardo,
+eastern Porto Rico, "There are many circumstances attending the work
+here that are very trying and require the greatest of patience.
+Still, on the whole, there is great encouragement. I have rented a
+building here at Fajardo, to occupy as the centre of missionary work
+in this region. I ordered a dozen benches with backs, to be used for
+public service. A little table stands at the end of the room, on
+which I place the Bible and use as a pulpit. It is my intention to
+develop fully the promising conditions both here at Fajardo and also
+at Humacao, where I have found a warm welcome.
+
+"I understand the best time on Sunday for public worship is in the
+evening. The young men are most of them occupied during the day.
+Sunday is their busy market day until three or four o'clock in the
+afternoon, when the market and stores close and all are free to go
+whither they like. Some of the young men told me that a number would
+attend our meetings in the night, that could not come during the
+day. Of course, this is a condition unfavorable to such Christian
+work, and yet I hope to be able to gather considerable audiences and
+reach this needy people with the living gospel of Jesus Christ. I
+speak in Spanish with comparative ease. We held services Sunday
+morning, at which I preached. We then sang several hymns which the
+people are rapidly learning. We need hymn books to offer them for
+sale, that they may be used in our meetings."
+
+[Illustration: A STREET IN SANTURCE--A SUBURB OF SAN JUAN.]
+
+From this letter it will be seen that work is opening hopefully
+before our evangelist. As the work develops it will demand a
+reinforcement of preachers capable of doing the same sort of
+earnest, evangelistic work. The demand in every department of this
+new island territory is pressing and imperative. Surely the churches
+of our Congregational fellowship will see to it, each one of them,
+that the work is fully and cordially supported.
+
+But a very natural question remains to be answered, namely, why have
+these missionaries gone to this island field? The answer is easy and
+natural. In the first place, Porto Rico is the only territory that
+has come under the immediate direction and control of the United
+States government as a result of the war with Spain. It is
+emphatically a home missionary field. The responsibility of our
+American churches is immediate and direct for the spread of the
+gospel among the inhabitants of this island, who are even now our
+fellow citizens. The American Missionary Association follows the
+flag. By the adjustment of work suggested by the churches years
+ago, at which the Association surrendered its foreign field and took
+the work among the Indians as a legitimate department of its home
+work, it has confined its missions to the territory of the United
+States. Patriotism reinforces the demands of Christianity for the
+physical, intellectual and religious development of the people in
+Porto Rico. The time is immediate and the command imperative. It is
+the command of our country as truly as of God.
+
+Churches, expressing their views through resolutions of local
+conferences and associations, urged upon the A. M. A. to occupy this
+island field. This was another reason for going.
+
+The appeal put before the churches in behalf of this important new
+work met with immediate and hopeful response. Ten thousand dollars
+are still demanded in order to put the work upon a proper and
+permanent foundation. Buildings should be erected for the schools,
+and this immediately. Also homes for the teachers, where model
+housekeeping can reinforce the instruction of the schoolroom and
+industrial class. Has not some friend, who reads these messages from
+Porto Rico, the ability and desire to send a check to our treasury
+at once, to put one of these mission schools in permanent quarters
+and thus greatly reinforce the present work and secure its
+permanency?
+
+Little by little, as the evangelistic movements progress, chapels
+will be needed for the accommodation of audiences that gather for
+Christian worship. Here again is a large increase upon the demands
+of Christian people for this new work of the American Missionary
+Association.
+
+Surely this little band of heroic Christian missionaries and
+teachers who have gone out from their homes and from our shores,
+responding at once to the call of the Master to enter this important
+and large field, will not be forgotten by Christian men and women in
+our churches. The work must not suffer. It should be reinforced
+promptly and largely. In God's providence, mysterious and
+incomprehensible, this island has become a part of our country. The

+
+There was romance in its birth. Regimental bands headed the
+procession; army officers, men of renown, North and South, gathered
+in the hospital barracks; thousands of ex-slaves, were there. One
+passion animated this dusky throng. To learn to read was the
+ambition of the bright colored boy, of his sedate but none the less
+eager sire, and of the veteran grandparent with white hair and with
+eyes that must learn the alphabet by the aid of spectacles.
+

+
+It was a moment of inspiration. The man to appreciate the hour and
+give utterance to its meaning, was there. He had hardly surrendered
+his commission as chaplain in the army. He had fought to win the
+freedom of a race. To make that race true free men was a task much
+more vast than to emancipate them. The parting of the ways had come.
+An illiterate people must be taught. No longer should it be a crime
+to instruct them. The rather was he the criminal who should deny
+them an education. It was an hour for the voice of a prophet. With
+the ken of a seer, Chaplain Cravath, representing the American
+Missionary Association, Jan. 9th, 1866, made the proclamation, that
+the founding of the school inaugurated that day was the beginning of
+a great educational institution, that should give to the emancipated
+race the opportunities and advantages of education which had so long
+been furnished to the white race in their colleges and universities.
+
+[Illustration: THE RAW MATERIAL.]
+
+Gen. Fisk, the brilliant soldier and ardent philanthropist, lent
+invaluable aid and consented to have the institution, so
+problematical in its existence, bear his name. Governor Brownlow and
+the pioneer educator of colored youth, Professor John Ogden, added
+the weight of their words and helpful deeds, and Fisk had come into
+being.
+
+[Illustration: FISK'S FINISHED PRODUCT.]
+
+ROMANCE ATTENDED THE EARLY LIFE OF THE UNIVERSITY.--Nearly four
+years had passed, when the Professor of music started out with a
+band of colored youth, who had been named the Jubilee Singers. That
+they could sing with incomparable sweetness he knew. That the songs
+they were to sing had incomparable pathos no one who heard them
+doubted. But nothing short of sublimest faith could have sent forth
+this band of friendless youth on their mission. They often were
+penniless as they went from town to town. They arrived at Oberlin
+and were permitted to sing before the National Council, then in
+session at that stronghold of the colored man. The tide turned. It
+rose with rapidity. Plymouth, Brooklyn, and other churches were
+opened to them. The entire North gave them welcome. They crossed the
+Atlantic; that gracious friend of humanity Queen Victoria, gave them
+audience. Her incomparable prime minister, Gladstone, made them his
+guests at Hawarden. Germany and France heard them. At the end of
+seven years they returned to Nashville and laid at the feet of the
+University the munificent sum of $150,000, a large part of which was
+devoted to the erection of Jubilee Hall and the remainder to the
+paying for the campus of thirty-five acres, once a slave plantation,
+now the most commanding location in the Athens of the South, as
+Nashville, the seat of four universities, is justly called.
+

+
+THERE HAS BEEN ROMANCE IN ALL ITS LIFE. Never for a year has the
+hard work, the distasteful drudgery, the, at the time, apparently
+fruitless toil been undertaken on the basis of cold calculating
+judgment; from its birth to the present hour, ideals that to most
+men would have seemed dreams and wild fancies, have animated the
+leaders of this enterprise--such ideals as have underlain the
+world's greatest achievements and have given heart to the world's
+victors.
+
+[Illustration: FISK MEMORIAL CHAPEL.
+
+Erected with the bequest of Gen. Fisk. Seats 1,000.]
+
+WISDOM AND PAINSTAKING ATTENTION to the material interests of the
+University, that have challenged the admiration of those who have
+watched its growth, have been coupled with all this romance. The
+ideal has been made actual. This has not been due to one man, nor
+one sex, nor one race. For a quarter of a century and more, have men
+and women, white and black, worked with an unanimity rarely equaled,
+with patience and self-sacrifice. As the outcome there is
+
+  FISK OF TO-DAY.
+
+The building of Jubilee Hall set the pace for the progress of the
+institution. Thorough workmanship, good taste and belief in a large
+future, have prevented the erection of buildings which could be used
+only a short time and must be replaced by structures adapted to the
+work. Eight substantial buildings afford the facilities now needed
+and are so grouped that in the near future the Central and Music
+Halls can be erected, to complete the general plan. Already the
+large enrolment of pupils, coming, as they do, from more than a
+score of the states of our Union, is making the proposed buildings a
+necessity and affording other givers the opportunity to bless
+humanity that has been so handsomely met by those large-minded
+donors who have built the structures already erected.
+

+
+[Illustration: THE 1899 FOOTBALL TEAM.]
+
+THE EVERY-DAY LIFE OF THE UNIVERSITY is first of all religious. With
+no cant, with the avoidance of undue emotion, with a constant appeal
+to Christian manhood and womanhood, men and women loyal to Jesus,
+seeking less their rights than to faithfully perform their duties,
+are being reared. For nine months in a year the faculty of Fisk,
+like those who in large cities man college settlements, day and
+night seek in every way and by all means to arouse and perpetuate
+the highest Christian ideals. Added to these are intellectual
+training, musical culture and a spirit of true gentility. The
+student body honors scholarship, awakens ambitions, cultivates good
+manners, frowns upon untidyness of appearance, while by firmly
+sustained legislation the faculty forbids any display of
+extravagance in attire. Patches and darns are expected; soiled or
+neglected garments the school will not permit. In a word, what one
+would expect to find in a Caucasian institution, composed of pupils
+of moderate means, with high ideals and gentle manners, are found at
+Fisk. The choicest of the recently emancipated race are here seeking
+a training. As always and everywhere, none reach the highest ideal.
+Some are found who fail to aspire to it; a few are intractable, but
+to one who recalls the life of the race and the treatment it has
+received before and since it was freed, life at Fisk is a constant
+miracle.

+[Illustration: "AS GOOD AS NEW."]
+
+THE FISK IDEA is an expression often on the lips of its alumni. It
+may be summed up in this: The rudiments of learning for all, manual
+training for those that are adapted to it and will use it in their
+after life, the best of culture for those who are capable of
+receiving and employing it. In a word, capacity not color,
+Christianity not caste, is to decide the question as to the kind of
+education a youth is to receive, whether he dwell in the North or
+South, whether he be an Ethiopian or an Anglo-Saxon. Exceeding few
+in comparison with the vast multitude of their race will be those
+who receive their diploma at Fisk; but they are to be the leaders of
+a people sorely needing leadership. And Fisk's determination to rear
+such leaders is an abiding protest against the spirit which denies
+to any human being a chance, and a declaration that the Church, like
+its divine Master, is to minister especially to those who most need
+help.
+
+FISK PRODUCTS are the test of its work. Each year it publishes to
+the world its list of graduates, and over against each name what he
+is doing for the world. It does not hesitate to compare this list
+with a like catalogue of any institution with equipment equal to its
+own. It has faith to believe that the demon of prejudice will not
+always hold its flaming sword to bar true manhood deserving success
+at the threshold of life. It would do its part to overcome this
+demon by producing self-respecting manhood, which in the eyes of
+all true men commands respect.
+
+FISK'S NEEDS are great. It needs such an endowment as shall enable
+it to decline help from that truest foster mother--the A. M. A. Its
+chairs professorial and for instructors should be placed upon a
+permanent footing. In no other way can its fine plant be utilized.
+If Northern institutions of learning must rely upon endowments to
+pay from two-thirds to three-quarters of the cost of educating their
+students, certainly an institution educating the youth of a race
+scarcely forty years out of the house of bondage, and hence poor
+beyond all expression, needs vastly more the income of an endowment
+to supplement the meagre tuitions which its pupils pay. Here is an
+opportunity for the man of large means to bestow a princely gift,
+while the man of slender means none the less can invest in the same
+undertaking.
+
+The man or men who shall thus endow Fisk, will have ever the favor
+of Him who has declared Himself the friend of the poor and needy.
+
+[Illustration: DANIEL HAND MODEL SCHOOL.

+Hand bequest.]
+
+Fisk's greatest need is an answer to the prayer of God's people for
+that constant indwelling of the divine Spirit which shall keep in
+stout heart those who, with personal self-sacrifice, are doing its
+work.

+CHEYENNE AND ARAPAHOE INDIANS.
+
+REV. W. M. WELLMAN, OKLAHOMA.
+
+
+Christian work among the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians of Oklahoma
+was first entered upon some ten years ago. It was begun by two
+Christian Indians who labored with their own people until they were
+discouraged and the work well-nigh died. Afterwards several young
+men, one after another, came into the field, but though they were
+individually earnest, their work did not make much impression. They
+procured tables, chairs and reading matter and fitted up a room, but
+nine out of ten of those to whom they were sent could neither read
+nor write, and of course did not seem to be greatly drawn to current
+literature. In 1893, however, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Woodward took
+charge, and did most excellent service, remaining almost a year
+until they left to become missionaries in India.
+
+[Illustration: (1) MISSION, DARLINGTON, OKLAHOMA.]
+
+[Illustration: (2) MR. AND MRS. WELLMAN AND INDIAN WOMAN AND CHILD.]
+
+Up to this time, for lack of funds and steady workers, the work had
+been but poorly organized, and though the men who had been leading
+were wise, earnest and true, yet as a force for permanent good, it
+was somewhat in question.
+
+In 1895 Rev. R. H. Harper, coming to take charge, found, he says,
+one cheap two-room cottage, one pony, an old wagon and harness and
+besides these a table and a few chairs. He knew that unless more
+buildings could be procured, the work would amount to nothing. Upon
+request, the Interior Department set aside two acres of land near
+the government school for the use of the mission.
+
+The Church-Building Society has at different times extended generous
+help, as a result of which the mission finally secured a beautiful
+chapel, with rooms and apartments above and below. Mr. Harper did
+much excellent service throughout his stay, until 1897, when, his
+wife's health giving way, he was compelled to leave the field.
+
+[Illustration: ON THE ROAD.]
+
+I succeeded him at once, and the work went forward, apparently
+without abatement. I organized the work at the two government
+schools carefully, and instituted evangelistic work in both. This
+phase of the work was so successful that on the following Easter, 37
+Indian young people gave their hearts to God and were baptized, and
+on Children's Day, in June following, 29 others came in the same
+way. A fervent religious interest prevailed in both of the
+government schools, so that, at Christmas time, 35 others came into
+the Church on an intelligent confession of faith. This most blessed
+work could not be kept within the narrow bounds of the schoolroom.
+It spread to the camp and field. The parents came to me to learn,
+and I had many requests to go to them and tell them about Jesus,
+till in at least two places, 18 and 20 miles distant from the
+Agency, the camp Indians have asked to have a church organized and a
+house built. On Easter Sunday, 1898, the climax was reached, so far
+as numbers were concerned, when 67 young people, from ten to
+twenty-six years of age, from both tribes, gave themselves to
+Christ, and presented themselves for baptism. The interest is still
+general though somewhat abated in intensity. Several times in the
+last few months have smaller numbers united with the Church.
+
+[Illustration: IN CAMP.]
+
+A few weeks ago I returned to my work from the East, where dear
+friends showed me every courtesy and sympathy possible, and while at
+the Mohonk Conference of Indian Workers I met many whose hearts and
+purses were open to pray for and help the helpless and abused red
+man. During my visit East I found a general interest and sympathy
+from churches and individuals, and money was put into my hands
+sufficient to add two or three warm rooms to our parsonage, which we
+have vacated and turned over to the sick and distressed Indians for
+a hospital. With the rooms we have just added--work is now going
+on--this parsonage hospital has one kitchen, one general work-room,
+two rooms sufficient for four beds, a room for reading and study, a
+laundry or general purpose room, and a bathroom; this latter,
+however, we cannot finish at present for lack of money to provide
+water facilities. Chairs and tables will be put in, and bead and
+embroidery work, done in both silk and worsted, will be persistently
+encouraged, so far as funds will allow.
+
+There is attached to the mission a free medical dispensary, to
+which a great many come. It is, however, only intended to be
+supplemental to the general medical work under the direction of the
+stationed Government physician, who is not only a thoroughly trained
+and competent physician, but a careful and painstaking one as well.
+A great many questions mingled with doubt are frequently asked us,
+by those who look upon the Indian more as a curiosity than a human
+being, or as a painted entity watching for an opportunity to wreak
+vengeance on the white man. "Do you really think these young people
+and camp Indians understand what they are doing," etc., etc.
+
+[Illustration: IN WINTER QUARTERS.]
+
+I say, "We certainly do, when a boy or girl, or a young man or
+woman, no matter what color the skin may be, comes to us of his own
+will, and says, 'I want to have a good heart and love Jesus and want
+to be a Christian,' and then in the presence of both white and red
+scoffers, is baptized and unites with the Church, and lives a
+consistent and prayerful life, I have no reason or no right to
+doubt." A few months ago there walked into the church, just as
+service had begun one Sunday morning, eleven fine-looking Arapahoe
+Indians. They were not richly attired, but they were clean. Only one
+could even partially understand my words, but they were quiet and
+attentive. After service they lingered. I said, addressing the
+leader, "Coyote, what do you want?" "We Indians come 20 miles, want
+to talk about Jesus. We hear you talk some days back, down on Big
+River. You say, God love Indian just the same He love white man.
+You say, Jesus came to help Indian be good just the same as white
+man. Indian want good heart, to know how to love squaw and children.
+Indian love Jesus and Indian give Jesus heart and brain and hand and
+feet." "Well," I said, "let us pray and ask God." We knelt. I
+prayed, Coyote prayed, and, with some hesitation, they all, in turn,
+prayed fervently. I have no doubt they understood, although I have
+not taken them into the Church yet.
+
+A few weeks ago an old Indian woman with gray hair came into the
+church. She could not talk much, but in their sign language I asked,
+"Are you a Christian?" "Yes, yes," she replied; "I could not live if
+Jesus leave me," and then making the sign as if washing on a
+wash-board, and the sign for spirit (soul), pointing to my white
+cuff--Jesus has washed my soul white--do they not understand? Can
+we, dare we, turn one of these, His little ones, away?

+
+SOUTHERN FIELD NOTES.
+
+BY REV. GEORGE W. MOORE.
+
+
+Quite a number of students and graduates of our A. M. A. schools are
+in business and professional life in northern and western cities, as
+well as in the South. A growing number of colored youth from the
+North attend our Southern institutions. Thus Dr. Dubois, the noted
+negro scholar and writer, came from Massachusetts to Tennessee to
+take his college training at Fisk University. But it is of the
+Southern field, as I have seen it during the last six weeks, that I
+wish to speak.
+
+Our Chandler Institute at Lexington, Ky., is filled with earnest
+students, under the direction of Miss Fanny J. Webster and her
+associates. Every year well-trained young people go out from this
+school to their life-work. During a gospel meeting recently held
+with the Lexington Church, more than fifty of the pupils of Chandler
+School avowed their faith in Christ.
+
+The church is built upon the site of an old slave-pen, the key of
+which is preserved as a relic of those dark days. The neat chapel
+now stands as a symbol of light and truth to the people. The pastor,
+Rev. W. L. Johnson, is a graduate of Fisk, and his wife is from Le
+Moyne Institute. She has taught in our service at Memphis and
+Mobile.
+
+Some of the most representative and influential citizens are members
+of our Lexington Church, among whom are the two leading physicians,
+the supervising principal and several teachers of the public
+schools.
+
+A directory of the negro in business reports: four physicians, two
+dentists, two lawyers, an editor, two undertaking establishments,
+several groceries, a drug store and other business enterprises,
+besides mechanics, farmers, etc. They support a home for orphans,
+and maintain a number of benevolent organizations.
+
+The colored people of Lexington hold an Annual Fair at the State
+Fair Grounds, which is a most attractive feature of Kentucky life.
+During the week of the Fair the city is crowded, and the daily
+attendance numbers thousands of the best people of both races. The
+Negro Fair Association is entirely under the management of colored
+men, and has a paid-up capital of several thousand dollars.
+
+The thrift and intelligence of the colored people can be seen by the
+large number of neat and well-appointed homes owned by them.
+
+Plymouth Church, at Louisville, is making hopeful progress under the
+ministry of Rev. E. G. Harris. Among the members of this church are
+three teachers of the Colored High School, who are Fisk graduates.
+The president of the Christian Endeavor is Dr. Whipple, a physician
+of note, and the superintendent of the Sunday-school is Professor
+Perry, the principal of a large public school of over a thousand
+pupils. Some of the most active workers are mechanics and people in
+humble life.
+
+Rev. Gilbert Walton was present at one of our meetings and gave an
+interesting address on the work among the people of the mountains of
+Kentucky and Tennessee.
+
+The colored people of Louisville are also making encouraging,
+material progress. Dr. Whedbee and other colored physicians have
+opened a medical school under the auspices of the Colored State
+College. They have also opened a free sanitarium in the central part
+of the city, which is supported by the colored people.
+
+Our school at Florence, Ala., is crowded with boys and girls who are
+eager for an education. Many of them walk in from the country a
+distance of several miles. Among the pupils are two men who are
+preachers. Miss M. L. Corpier and Miss Nicholson are in charge of
+this school. They are both graduates of Fisk University. A revival
+of great spiritual power was held in connection with the Florence
+church and school. Four men of mature life and heads of families
+were among the converts. The church is growing in numbers and
+influence under the ministry of Rev. R. J. McCann, a graduate of
+Talladega College.
+
+We visited eight families of the church who lived in the country. In
+one of these country homes we held a service in which four persons
+were converted, whom we baptized. Two small children were also
+baptized. There was joy in that home.
+
+One of the most unique institutions of Birmingham, Ala., is the
+Penny Savings Bank, under the management of colored men. This bank
+has stood the storms of several panics and has been in successful
+operation for more than a decade; it has the confidence of the
+entire community. Mr. B. H. Hudson, the cashier, a graduate of
+Talladega College, is a leading member of our Congregational Church.
+
+Rev. Abraham Simmons is pastor of the church. At our closing service
+at Birmingham, the three principals of the public schools, and a
+number of teachers who graduated at A. M. A. schools, a graduate of
+Fisk and now a theological student of Oberlin, several business men,
+and men and women of humble life, all testified to their loyalty to
+Christ and joy in His service.
+
+A successful revival service was also held at Knoxville, Tenn., in
+which more than thirty conversions were reported. I was greatly
+cheered on Thanksgiving Day by the receipt of twenty-five messages
+from these young disciples of their love to Christ and desire to
+serve Him.

+NEWS FROM ARCTIC ALASKA.
+
+W. T. LOPP.
+
+
+A letter just received from Mr. W. T. Lopp, who is missionary in
+Arctic Alaska at Cape Prince of Wales, which was written under date
+of October 2d, is of very great interest. It brings the latest
+message from this distant mission-field, and this message is one of
+great encouragement. Mr. Lopp writes:
+
+"Now that the American Missionary Association is out of debt, we
+hope you will be able to send us a missionary with a missionary wife
+to be with us. It is hardly necessary for us to cite reasons for
+this. He should be a minister, if possible. It would not be right to
+subject children of school age to the influences of the life here.
+You wrote us up last year as having 'no time for gold hunting, and
+yet gold has been discovered within a few miles of the Cape.' This
+brings upon us new anxiety and greater work. Should these claims
+turn out well, the American Missionary Association will not be
+forgotten.
+
+"The _Bear_ has made a wonderful cruise this season. I doubt if she
+ever made a longer one. She arrived here too late to look after some
+whaling vessels, but considerable testimony has been secured, and if
+the present captain commands the _Bear_ again next year I think
+certain whalers will be seized if they do not change their ways. The
+present captain has made a very conscientious commander, and has
+surely exerted himself to perform his duty vigorously and honestly.
+He has administered the law toward the Eskimo as well as white men,
+and arrested those who were guilty of crime. He was very kind to the
+natives, giving them help in coming from Cape Prince of Wales to
+this point and also across the straits to Siberia. When the sea was
+too rough for their skin boats he would have them hoisted up on
+deck. The United States surgeon has also been exceedingly kind to
+us.
+
+"We now have 437 reindeer, and have sent an order signed by Dr.
+Jackson to the station on Norton Sound for the 277 which are yet due
+us. These will be driven up some time this winter. After they come
+we will make an estimate of the number belonging to the Eskimo boys
+and mark them. I have taken one new herder as an apprentice, and
+hope to take another or two next year. We sold reindeer at thirty
+dollars per head to the Bureau of Education, which furnished money
+for training other apprentices. Our old apprentices can now pay
+their own way, and the sale of the reindeer in the future will go
+toward helping new apprentices till they can help themselves.
+
+"The Woman's Home Missionary Association of Boston have contributed
+toward the support of native workers. We received word about it and
+rejoiced in their generous gifts. I will use it in helping support
+Sokweena at our little mission at Mitle-tok. As I wrote last year,
+we were enabled to start this mission through a small contribution
+of about twenty-five dollars from the generous Endeavorers of
+Westboro, Mass. Then some other friends sent in a little help that
+went toward the support of Sokweena and his wife. It is not enough,
+but we will try to make it do for the present. We were unable to
+visit Sokweena but three times last winter. If we could only visit
+him oftener and help him more he would be able to accomplish more.
+But some of the children at his mission learn to spell and write a
+little and to sing. We had some very good meetings. Lucy and I went
+up and stayed three days. We took a lantern. Many of the old folks
+had professed Christ and seemed to be earnest and sincere in their
+prayers. The position for Sokweena is a hard one at times.
+
+"Adlooat, one of our brightest boys, was typo and artist for the
+_Eskimo Bulletin_. We will not be able to get the _Bulletin_ out
+before November, I am afraid.
+
+"We have just erected a building twelve by forty feet, which we have
+decided to call 'Thornton House.' It is to be used as a workshop,
+club-room and other purposes for the natives. The need of such a
+building had occurred to Mr. Thornton and myself in 1890. Last year
+Mrs. Thornton succeeded in gathering one hundred and twenty-seven
+dollars, which was sufficient to purchase the lumber and pay the
+freight on it. Two natives and I have put up the building. The
+natives did most of the work on it, as I could not leave our house
+long at a time."

+CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS AMONG THE INDIANS.
+
+F. B. RIGGS.
+
+
+It will be ten years this February since the first Indian Christian
+Endeavor Society was organized in Santee Normal Training School, at
+Santee, Nebraska.
+
+The Christian Endeavor movement was rapidly gaining everywhere, and
+it was not long before other societies were started--in the Oahe
+mission school, and the Presbyterian mission school at Sisseton,
+South Dakota. Fourteen months later the first Indian Christian
+Endeavor Society was started at Santee.
+
+[Illustration: CHAPEL, SANTEE NORMAL SCHOOL, NEB.

+
+[Illustration: MAMIE DAKA ELDER,
+
+_Pres't Santee Endeavor Soc._]
+
+This year at Santee the young people's society includes twenty-one
+of the Indian pupils with three or four of the teachers, and there
+are two junior societies, one of girls and one of boys. There is a
+mothers' society, which was started three or four years ago among
+the women of the mission church. All these societies have an
+important place in the Indian mission work.
+
+[Illustration: ETTA R. STAMFORD,
+
+_Sec'y Santee Endeavor Soc._]
+
+In the young people's society many of the members remain the
+same from year to year; but during the ten years one hundred and
+thirty-two young people have joined. They have come from eighteen
+different agencies, and in several cases from more than one village
+in the agency. Out of this one-hundred and thirty-two, twenty-three
+have been engaged, since leaving school, in direct missionary work,
+most of them as preachers and teachers of day-schools, but a few
+as the wives of such teachers, or as teachers in mission
+boarding-schools or missionary helpers. Some of these have done
+excellent work, and those of whom this is true are nearly always
+those who were most faithful and active during their school course
+in the Christian Endeavor Society. Three or four of the most
+promising have died before they had any opportunity to work at their
+homes, but some of these short lives were so faithful and patient
+that perhaps they did more good than many longer lives.
+
+[Illustration: SANTEE JUNIOR ENDEAVOR SOCIETY.]
+
+Three other societies have been started among the Indians, where the
+leaders were chiefly from those who had been members at Santee. But
+the societies not connected with mission schools have been
+transient, or intermittent in their life. Those at Santee and
+Sisseton, and one at Fort Berthold mission school in North Dakota,
+have lived. A society is to be started at the Omaha Agency soon.

+
+The young people's society at Santee has been a training school for
+its members. It has broadened their feeling of Christian fellowship
+with the great army of fellow Endeavorers. It has given them songs
+that they enjoy very much. It has increased their interest in
+missions and deepened their feeling of responsibility for service to
+the Master.
+
+The junior work at Santee has been especially encouraging among the
+girls, who are rather more responsive than the boys. Of the twelve
+little girls in the picture, one died last year, but eight are now
+members of the senior society.
+
+In the monthly meetings of the Mothers' Society of Christian
+Endeavor many questions are asked and answered concerning the care
+and training of children, and the children are remembered in prayer.
+
+One thing, at least, these Christian Endeavor Societies have done.
+They have emphasized the idea of _endeavor_ and _service_. It
+expresses itself in the use of a new word, or rather the use of an
+old word a thousand times where it was used once before. The name in
+Dakota means "The society of those who want to work for Jesus," and
+"working for Jesus" has become a more prominent thought in all their
+religious life.

+
+Last year a Junior Endeavor Society of Indian girls gave one dollar
+to the Church-Building Society, one dollar to the Education Society,
+one dollar to the Dakota Native Missionary Society, and one dollar
+to the American Board. A Junior Endeavor Society of Indian boys gave
+one dollar to the American Missionary Association. A Senior Endeavor
+Society of Indian boys and girls last year gave fourteen dollars to
+the American Board and three dollars to the Woman's Missionary
+Union. The Endeavor Society proves, therefore, among the Indian
+boys and girls and young people just what it does everywhere else.
+It gives them larger views of the kingdom of God, it stimulates them
+to greater sacrifice in giving of their means to the spread of this
+kingdom, and awakens within them deeper spiritual earnestness. The
+life of a Christian Endeavorer, wherever that life may be spent,
+cannot be a narrow, selfish life, if loyal to the great Christian
+Endeavor idea. This society is an important factor in Christian
+enlargement and quickening among our young people on the prairie.

+LINCOLN MEMORIAL SUNDAY.
+
+
+Sunday, February 11th, marks this celebration in the calendars of
+our Congregational Sunday-schools. A new Concert Exercise has been
+prepared and will be sent to superintendents and teachers who desire
+to keep this day in the interests of Christian patriotism and for
+the support of the work among the needy millions represented in the
+life and history of our martyred President, Abraham Lincoln. The A.
+M. A. reaches by Christian education the American Highlanders, from
+whom Abraham Lincoln came. It sends missionaries and teachers to the
+Negroes, whom Abraham Lincoln freed. It plants its Christian work
+among the Indians, for whom Abraham Lincoln spoke words of honest
+sympathy. It is this great work that appeals to our Sunday-schools.

+
+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

+
+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

+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

+- 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

+     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

+     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

+     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

+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

+
+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

+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

+
+
+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 are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation

+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

+
+
+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 https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+<h3>FINANCIAL.</h3>
+
+
+<p>The receipts to December 31st, the first quarter of the fiscal year,
+are $6,586.98 more than for the same period last year&mdash;an increase
+in donations of $6,874.52, in income of $890.20, and in tuition of
+$1,652.58&mdash;a decrease in estates for current work of $2,830.32 under
+the policy of reserve legacy account.</p>
+
+<p>We are greatly cheered by this increase in donations. We appreciate
+the cordial response of the churches, Sunday-schools, Endeavor
+Societies and individuals to the necessities of this great work. We
+call especial attention to the efforts which are being made to
+increase the gifts of this Association for the current year
+thirty-three and one-third per cent. This is the amount of increase
+which the Council Committee of Fifteen have asked from the churches.
+The large work demands at least this per cent. of addition to the
+gifts for the current year. Will not each individual church and
+Sunday-school see that their contribution for this year is at least
+a third larger than for the former year?</p>
+
+<p>In addition to this amount needed for the work which has been
+established in other years, the claims of Porto Rico are pressing.
+Ten thousand dollars was a very conservative estimate of the amount
+that was needed at once in this new island territory. The churches,
+and especially the Sunday schools, have responded generously in
+bringing up the gifts to about half this amount. There is imperative
+need immediately for the full amount, properly and energetically to
+press the work in Porto Rico along the lines of Christian education
+and evangelization.</p>

+
+<h3>THE PROGRESSIVE SOUTH.</h3>
+
+
+<p>It is encouraging to note the signs of progress at the South towards
+meeting the heavy responsibilities of the situation. It is a mistake
+to imagine that the Southern situation does not improve from year to
+year. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions, appreciate the trend
+of events and the necessity for the elevation of the depressed
+millions with whom they are intermingled. The Southern tragedies of
+murder and violence have awakened the same horror in their hearts as
+throughout the country at large. There is a rising sentiment against
+lynching and for enforcing justice by the cold and passionless
+execution of law. There is a strong desire to give the advantages of
+education to both the ignorant whites and the ignorant blacks. There
+is a growing sympathy for the beneficent efforts to this end which
+are put forth from the North.</p>
+
+<p>It is a great mistake to confuse the whole South with certain lower
+elements in its vast and varied populations. It is also a mistake to
+imagine that sporadic instances of violence here and there are
+sufficient indices of the situation at large. Millions of the
+Southern whites and blacks are dwelling together in amity and co
+operation for the advance of education and for moral progress.
+Illustrations are<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_3" id="Page_3">[Pg 3]</a></span> multiplying on every side of the desire on the
+part of the progressive South to fulfil the duties and meet the
+heavy responsibilities thrust upon it by the masses of population
+submerged in ignorance.</p>
+
+<p>These immense masses are the burden not only of the South, but of
+the American people at large. Ignorant labor is shiftless and
+wasteful labor. The growth of varied and inter-related manufactures
+cannot rest upon a labor element of clumsiness and stupidity. Civil
+duties demand intelligence and morals. The best patriotism of the
+South joins hands with that of the North in the elevation of the
+lowly and ignorant. What has been done is only the initiation of the
+ten times more which must be done.</p>
+
+<p>It is a significant fact that the last national census showed that
+the white illiteracy of the South was deeper than even the foreign
+illiteracy of the North; while that of the Southern black population
+was fearfully darker. Both public and private efforts are being made
+in countless communities of the South to begin the lifting of this
+great burden. Some of the States have already taken encouraging
+measures in this direction. While there are reactions, the general
+tide is that of progress. It is easy to make too much of the violent
+reactionary outcries of a few Southern newspapers. It must be
+remembered that these shrill expostulations against progress are
+comparatively isolated and do not represent the general and
+deliberate sense of the intelligent South. The day has come when
+intelligent leaders, North and South, can unite their efforts and
+push forward the work of popular upliftment throughout the South.
+The lesson of the hour is not that of impatience and denunciation,
+but of mutual sympathy and co-operation. The hopeful progress of the
+past is a presage to the magnificent progress assured to the
+immediate future.</p>
+
+<p>No more timely words have been spoken than those of a Southern
+philanthropist when he said: "The Negro must be educated. It is
+absolutely necessary to both races that his education go on. In our
+extremity we look to wise and just people in the Northern States to
+help us to help both races."</p>

+<h3>GREETINGS TO PORTO RICANS.</h3>
+
+
+<p>At a meeting of the representatives of the different benevolent
+societies of our Protestant denominations who are entering upon
+mission work in Porto Rico a committee was appointed to draw up a
+paper containing a greeting to these people. The paper was to be
+published in Spanish and English. The copies in English were to go
+especially to the missionaries to be scattered among
+English-speaking people. The Spanish translation was intended for
+the native Porto<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_4" id="Page_4">[Pg 4]</a></span>
+Ricans. This paper was signed by representatives
+of different denominations as will be seen. This broad,
+comprehensive and loving message from the Christians of America to
+the people of Porto Rico, who are now a part of our own country,
+must meet the approval of all those interested in the progress of
+the Kingdom of God rather than some narrow denominational victory.
+This greeting to the Porto Ricans is as follows:</p>
+
+<p>"We rejoice that your beautiful island has become part of the United
+States. We take you by the hand as fellow-citizens of this Republic.
+We pray that you may share fully with us in all the blessings it has
+to give. We have come among you to show our interest in and our
+sympathy with you, and to do what we can to help you and your
+children toward the larger life that is possible to us all.</p>
+
+<p>"We come to you as we have gone to all other parts of our beloved
+land&mdash;as messengers of the gospel of Jesus Christ our Saviour. We
+have come as brethren in Christ, as joint-members of that spiritual
+body of which He is the head, to preach and teach among you, and
+thus in mutual helpfulness to build up the Kingdom of our common
+Lord and to answer His prayer 'that they all may be one,' and that
+His will may 'be done in earth as it is in heaven.'</p>
+
+<p>"We are agreed in the great truths of our holy religion, and we will
+work together that they may produce in this historic island all the
+choicest fruits of Christian life and culture. We would teach the
+children the way of eternal life, and bring to the men and
+women&mdash;full of cares and burdens&mdash;the rest and comfort and hope that
+come through faith in the Saviour. And so shall they and we all be
+brethren and sisters in Christ.</p>
+
+<p>"These are the common purposes that bring us hither. In the name of
+our common Master we pray you give us and our preachers welcome, and
+join your labors with ours that this island, so charming in its
+natural features, may more and more have the beauty of a pure and
+purifying religion. Then happy will be your homes and happy your
+people&mdash;as Holy Scriptures declare, 'Happy is that people whose God
+is the Lord.' Education will brighten the lives of the children;
+Christian morality will stand guard in every community against sin,
+and the peace which Christ promised to His people will rest upon us
+and ours.</p>
+
+<p>"Praying for God's richest blessings upon you, beloved people of
+Porto Rico, and asking your co-operation with us, we are</p>
+

+<h3>PIONEERS IN PORTO RICO.</h3>
+
+<div class="center">SECRETARY CHARLES. J. RYDER.</div>
+
+
+<p>The opening of this new island territory for the Christian schools
+and the evangelistic work of the American Missionary Association is
+of great interest. Many questions are naturally asked by those who
+are in sympathetic touch with this new and important movement.</p>
+
+<p><i>Who have gone to this field? Where have they gone and what fields
+are opening? Why have they gone?</i> These questions present themselves
+to the attention of those who have watched with great interest the
+opening of this island to an intelligent and progressive Christian
+influence. Let us answer these questions in this article.</p>

+
+<p>First, who have gone in this pioneer band of missionaries to Porto
+Rico?</p>
+
+<p>The educational work is especially under the care and direction of
+Prof. Charles B. Scott and his wife. Prof Scott is a graduate of
+Rutgers College and of Oswego State Normal School. He is a teacher
+of many years' experience and thoroughly qualified for the
+establishment and direction of the educational work of the
+Association among this people. Mrs. Scott, a graduate of Michigan
+University, also takes an active part in this work. They are both
+devoted Christians, and the religious quickening and spiritual
+elevation of the people comprise an important part of their
+efforts.</p>

+
+<p>Miss Mary L. Daniels is a member of Dr. Munger's church in New
+Haven, Conn. She has been a teacher in the public schools, where she
+has attained a high position as a very competent instructor. She
+takes with her the regard and confidence of a large circle of
+friends and there is every prospect of her abundant success.</p>
+
+<p>All these teachers understand the Spanish language to some extent.
+This is essential, in order to do the work in Porto Rico.</p>
+
+<div class="figright" style="width: 114px;">
+<img src="images/img011a.jpg" width="114" height="122" alt="REV. JOHN EDWARDS, Evangelist." title="" />
+<span class="captionsmall">REV. JOHN EDWARDS,<br />
+Evangelist.</span>
+</div>
+
+<p>Rev. John Edwards, a pastor from Ohio, has<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_7" id="Page_7">[Pg 7]</a></span> been sent out by the
+Association as an evangelist in this same field. The preaching of
+the gospel is greatly needed, and Mr. Edwards' circuit covers a
+large area in evangelistic services. He is in eastern Porto Rico,
+where there is scarcely any other missionary work.</p>
+
+<p>And so this little band of eight devoted men and women have entered
+upon the pioneer work in opening up Porto Rico to an intelligent
+gospel. They have gone out with the prayers and sympathy of
+thousands of those who have been greatly interested in the important
+work in this island territory. The future promises large things in
+the building up of Christian character and the establishment of
+progressive Christian institutions.</p>
+
+
+<p><i>Where have these missionaries gone?</i> They landed first at San Juan,
+on the northeastern portion of the island. They established a school
+at Santurce, which is a few miles distant from San Juan. From this
+field Miss Blowers writes as follows:</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 423px;">
+<img src="images/img011b.jpg" width="423" height="270" alt="AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION SCHOOL, SANTURCE." title="" />
+<span class="caption">AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION SCHOOL, SANTURCE.</span>
+</div>
+
+<p>"The schoolhouse opens on the street (the military road), where
+there is a constant stream of passers by. There is not an hour in
+the day that there are not spectators peering in at doors and
+windows with idle curiosity or eager interest. Sometimes there are
+not more<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_8" id="Page_8">[Pg 8]</a></span> than three or four, but often as many as eighteen or
+twenty. Let me tell you of the various persons who composed this
+outside audience, as I watched them one morning. A native policeman,
+a business man waiting for his car, three beggars, boys with large
+trays of bread, fruit and sweetmeats on their heads, a washerwoman
+with a huge basket of clothes poised securely on her head, the
+driver of an ox-cart, who stopped his team while we sang "America,"
+three women going to market, a party of daintily dressed,
+sweet-faced senoritas with their chaperone, a dirty, wild-looking
+old hag who almost frightened me, a young mother carrying a naked
+baby in her arms, and boys&mdash;well, it was no use to count them. What
+do you think? Are we not being well advertised?"</p>
+
+<div class="figleft" style="width: 291px;">
+<img src="images/img012.jpg" width="291" height="374" alt="ON THE MILITARY ROAD FROM SAN JUAN TO LARES." title="" />
+<span class="caption">ON THE MILITARY ROAD FROM SAN JUAN TO LARES.</span>
+</div>
+
+<p>Great care was taken in locating these schools. Rev. A. F. Beard,
+Senior Secretary of the A. M. A., and Rev. William H. Ward, D.D., a
+member of the Executive Committee, visited the island to examine the
+conditions and discover the best points for such work. Prof. Scott,
+after reaching the island, also made thorough investigation
+concerning the most important location. He wrote after reaching
+Porto Rico: "The railroad from Arecibo is impassable. I hired a pony
+and a boy to guide me and started for the town. The only way of
+traveling now, except on military roads, is by pony. I had never
+ridden two miles on horseback in my life, but it had to be done and
+I am still intact, and have ridden twenty to twenty-five miles
+to-day without even getting stiff. We reached Arecibo, having to
+ford or ferry streams five times. There were no bridges left.</p>
+<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_9" id="Page_9">[Pg 9]</a></span></p>
+<p>"Friday I rode to Lares, eighteen miles over the roughest trail
+imaginable. Much of it is as steep as a stairway, with stones of all
+sizes replacing the steps. But I managed to stick to my pony. We
+reached Lares at eight o'clock, the eighteen miles taking nine
+hours, with three hours at noon waiting for the rain to cease."</p>
+
+<p>Lares, a town of 3,000 population, is situated in the western part
+of the island. It was finally decided that this should be the place
+for the second school planted by the American Missionary
+Association. Prof. Scott writes also: "Lares is a very pleasant
+place, built around the top of a hill, the best residences at the
+top, with best possible drainage and supplied with excellent spring
+water. I had a letter to the Alcalde (Mayor) and to the leading
+doctor of the town, a very intelligent man, who speaks English. I
+examined several buildings and found one admirably adapted to our
+purpose. It is central, with a large room on the ground floor and
+five bedrooms, a dining room and kitchen for the teachers.
+Everything is in excellent order. The sanitary condition, with some
+changes, cannot be surpassed. The house seems just built for our
+purpose, and with a minimum expense can be enlarged to give two
+good-sized dormitories. All the people whom I saw were very much
+interested in our work. The city can do nothing. They have paid no
+salaries for months."</p>
+
+<p>The schools at Lares and Santurce represent the present educational
+work of the Association in Porto Rico. Both schools are well under
+way and large numbers of eager pupils are in attendance. Prof. Scott
+wrote so urgently for reinforcements in order to meet the needs
+already pressing, that an additional missionary teacher was sent in
+January. Miss Johanna Blinka was selected for this important
+mission, as she was thoroughly acquainted with the Spanish language
+and had had large experience in educational and missionary work.
+This completes the force of eight teachers already engaged in the
+educational work under the American Missionary Association in the
+island of Porto Rico.</p>
+
+<p>Rev. John Edwards has begun work in the eastern part of the island.
+There are few missionaries here and the opportunities for
+evangelistic work are pressing. The following interesting facts were
+received under recent date from Mr. Edwards: He writes from Fajardo,
+eastern Porto Rico, "There are many circumstances attending the work
+here that are very trying and require the greatest of patience.
+Still, on the whole, there is great encouragement. I have rented a
+building here at Fajardo, to occupy as the centre of missionary work
+in this region. I ordered a dozen benches with backs, to be used for
+public service. A little table stands at the end of the room, on
+which I place the Bible and use as a pulpit. It is my intention to<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_10" id="Page_10">[Pg 10]</a></span>
+develop fully the promising conditions both here at Fajardo and also
+at Humacao, where I have found a warm welcome.</p>
+
+<p>"I understand the best time on Sunday for public worship is in the
+evening. The young men are most of them occupied during the day.
+Sunday is their busy market day until three or four o'clock in the
+afternoon, when the market and stores close and all are free to go
+whither they like. Some of the young men told me that a number would
+attend our meetings in the night, that could not come during the
+day. Of course, this is a condition unfavorable to such Christian
+work, and yet I hope to be able to gather considerable audiences and
+reach this needy people with the living gospel of Jesus Christ. I
+speak in Spanish with comparative ease. We held services Sunday
+morning, at which I preached. We then sang several hymns which the
+people are rapidly learning. We need hymn books to offer them for
+sale, that they may be used in our meetings."</p>

+
+<p>From this letter it will be seen that work is opening hopefully
+before our evangelist. As the work develops it will demand a
+reinforcement of preachers capable of doing the same sort of
+earnest, evangelistic work. The demand in every department of this
+new island territory is pressing and imperative. Surely the churches
+of our Congregational fellowship will see to it, each one of them,
+that the work is fully and cordially supported.</p>
+
+<p>But a very natural question remains to be answered, namely, why have
+these missionaries gone to this island field? The answer is easy and
+natural. In the first place, Porto Rico is the only territory that
+has come under the immediate direction and control of the United
+States government as a result of the war with Spain. It is
+emphatically a home missionary field. The responsibility of our
+American churches is immediate and direct for the spread of the
+gospel among the inhabitants of this island, who are even now our
+fellow citizens. The American Missionary Association follows the
+flag. By the <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_11" id="Page_11">[Pg 11]</a></span>adjustment of work suggested by the churches years
+ago, at which the Association surrendered its foreign field and took
+the work among the Indians as a legitimate department of its home
+work, it has confined its missions to the territory of the United
+States. Patriotism reinforces the demands of Christianity for the
+physical, intellectual and religious development of the people in
+Porto Rico. The time is immediate and the command imperative. It is
+the command of our country as truly as of God.</p>
+
+<p>Churches, expressing their views through resolutions of local
+conferences and associations, urged upon the A. M. A. to occupy this
+island field. This was another reason for going.</p>
+
+<p>The appeal put before the churches in behalf of this important new
+work met with immediate and hopeful response. Ten thousand dollars
+are still demanded in order to put the work upon a proper and
+permanent foundation. Buildings should be erected for the schools,
+and this immediately. Also homes for the teachers, where model
+housekeeping can reinforce the instruction of the schoolroom and
+industrial class. Has not some friend, who reads these messages from
+Porto Rico, the ability and desire to send a check to our treasury
+at once, to put one of these mission schools in permanent quarters
+and thus greatly reinforce the present work and secure its
+permanency?</p>
+
+<p>Little by little, as the evangelistic movements progress, chapels
+will be needed for the accommodation of audiences that gather for
+Christian worship. Here again is a large increase upon the demands
+of Christian people for this new work of the American Missionary
+Association.</p>
+
+<p>Surely this little band of heroic Christian missionaries and
+teachers who have gone out from their homes and from our shores,
+responding at once to the call of the Master to enter this important
+and large field, will not be forgotten by Christian men and women in
+our churches. The work must not suffer. It should be reinforced
+promptly and largely. In God's providence, mysterious and
+incomprehensible, this island has become a part of our country. The
+call now comes to occupy the field, not with armies and military
+movements, but with the peaceful influences of Christianity. The
+intellectual and moral quickening of the youth and children through
+the Christian institutions planted among them, and the preaching of
+the simple gospel of Jesus Christ to this destitute people, create a
+responsibility which our Congregational churches must meet
+courageously and generously.</p>

+<p>There was romance in its birth. Regimental bands headed the
+procession; army officers, men of renown, North and South, gathered
+in the hospital barracks; thousands of ex-slaves, were there. One
+passion animated this dusky throng. To learn to read was the

+eyes that must learn the alphabet by the aid of spectacles.</p>

+<p>It was a moment of inspiration. The man to appreciate the hour and
+give utterance to its meaning, was there. He had hardly surrendered
+his commission as chaplain in the army. He had fought to win the
+freedom of a race. To make that race true free men was a task much
+more vast than to emancipate them. The parting of the ways had come.
+An illiterate people must be taught. No longer should it be a crime
+to instruct them. The rather was he the criminal who should deny
+them an education. It was an hour for the voice of a prophet. With
+the ken of a seer, Chaplain Cravath, representing the American
+Missionary Association, Jan. 9th, 1866, made the<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_13" id="Page_13">[Pg 13]</a></span> proclamation, that
+the founding of the school inaugurated that day was the beginning of
+a great educational institution, that should give to the emancipated
+race the opportunities and advantages of education which had so long
+been furnished to the white race in their colleges and universities.</p>

+<p>Gen. Fisk, the brilliant soldier and ardent philanthropist, lent
+invaluable aid and consented to have the institution, so
+problematical in its existence, bear his name. Governor Brownlow and
+the pioneer educator of colored youth, Professor John Ogden, added

+
+<p><span class="smcap">Romance attended the early life of the University.</span>&mdash;Nearly four
+years had passed, when the Professor of music started out with a
+band of colored youth, who had been named the Jubilee Singers. That
+they could sing with incomparable sweetness he knew. That the songs
+they were to sing had incomparable pathos no one who heard them
+doubted. But nothing short of sublimest faith could have sent forth
+this band of friendless youth on their mission. They often were
+penniless as they went from town to town. They arrived at Oberlin
+and were permitted<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_14" id="Page_14">[Pg 14]</a></span> to sing before the National Council, then in
+session at that stronghold of the colored man. The tide turned. It
+rose with rapidity. Plymouth, Brooklyn, and other churches were
+opened to them. The entire North gave them welcome. They crossed the
+Atlantic; that gracious friend of humanity Queen Victoria, gave them
+audience. Her incomparable prime minister, Gladstone, made them his
+guests at Hawarden. Germany and France heard them. At the end of
+seven years they returned to Nashville and laid at the feet of the
+University the munificent sum of $150,000, a large part of which was
+devoted to the erection of Jubilee Hall and the remainder to the
+paying for the campus of thirty-five acres, once a slave plantation,
+now the most commanding location in the Athens of the South, as
+Nashville, the seat of four universities, is justly called.</p>

+extravagance in attire. Patches and darns are expected; soiled or
+neglected garments the school will not permit. In a word, what one
+would expect to find in a Caucasian institution, composed of pupils
+of moderate means, with high ideals and gentle manners, are found at
+Fisk. The choicest of the recently emancipated race are here seeking
+a training. As always<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_18" id="Page_18">[Pg 18]</a></span> and everywhere, none reach the highest ideal.
+Some are found who fail to aspire to it; a few are intractable, but
+to one who recalls the life of the race and the treatment it has
+received before and since it was freed, life at Fisk is a constant
+miracle.</p>

+
+<p><span class="smcap">The Fisk Idea</span> is an expression often on the lips of its alumni. It
+may be summed up in this: The rudiments of learning for all, manual
+training for those that are adapted to it and will use it in their
+after life, the best of culture for those who are capable of
+receiving and employing it. In a word, capacity not color,
+Christianity not caste, is to decide the question as to the kind of
+education a youth is to receive, whether he dwell in the North or
+South, whether he be an Ethiopian or an Anglo-Saxon. Exceeding few
+in comparison with the vast multitude of their race will be those
+who receive their diploma at Fisk; but they are to be the leaders of
+a people sorely needing leadership. And Fisk's determination to rear
+such leaders is an abiding protest against the spirit which denies
+to any human being a chance, and a declaration that the Church, like
+its divine Master, is to minister especially to those who most need
+help.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Fisk Products</span> are the test of its work. Each year it publishes to
+the world its list of graduates, and over against each name what he
+is doing for the world. It does not hesitate to compare this list
+with a like catalogue of any institution with equipment equal to its
+own. It has faith to believe that the demon of prejudice will not
+always hold its flaming sword to bar true manhood deserving success
+at the threshold of life. It would do its part to overcome this
+demon by<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_19" id="Page_19">[Pg 19]</a></span> producing self-respecting manhood, which in the eyes of
+all true men commands respect.</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Fisk's Needs</span> are great. It needs such an endowment as shall enable
+it to decline help from that truest foster mother&mdash;the A. M. A. Its
+chairs professorial and for instructors should be placed upon a
+permanent footing. In no other way can its fine plant be utilized.
+If Northern institutions of learning must rely upon endowments to
+pay from two-thirds to three-quarters of the cost of educating their
+students, certainly an institution educating the youth of a race
+scarcely forty years out of the house of bondage, and hence poor
+beyond all expression, needs vastly more the income of an endowment
+to supplement the meagre tuitions which its pupils pay. Here is an
+opportunity for the man of large means to bestow a princely gift,
+while the man of slender means none the less can invest in the same
+undertaking.</p>
+
+<p>The man or men who shall thus endow Fisk, will have ever the favor
+of Him who has declared Himself the friend of the poor and needy.</p>

+<h3>CHEYENNE AND ARAPAHOE INDIANS.</h3>
+
+<div class="center">REV. W. M. WELLMAN, OKLAHOMA.</div>
+
+
+<p>Christian work among the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians of Oklahoma
+was first entered upon some ten years ago. It was begun by two
+Christian Indians who labored with their own people until they were
+discouraged and the work well-nigh died. Afterwards several young
+men, one after another, came into the field, but though they were
+individually earnest, their work did not make much impression. They
+procured tables, chairs and reading matter and fitted up a room, but
+nine out of ten of those to whom they were sent could neither read
+nor write, and of course did not seem to be greatly drawn to current
+literature. In 1893, however, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Woodward took
+charge, and did most excellent service, remaining almost a year
+until they left to become missionaries in India.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 458px;">

+<span class="caption">(1) MISSION, DARLINGTON, OKLAHOMA.<br />
+(2) MR. AND MRS. WELLMAN AND INDIAN WOMAN AND CHILD.
+</span>
+</div>
+
+<p>Up to this time, for lack of funds and steady workers, the work had
+been but poorly organized, and though the men who had been leading
+were wise, earnest and true, yet as a force for permanent good, it
+was somewhat in question.</p>
+<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_21" id="Page_21">[Pg 21]</a></span></p>
+<p>In 1895 Rev. R. H. Harper, coming to take charge, found, he says,
+one cheap two-room cottage, one pony, an old wagon and harness and
+besides these a table and a few chairs. He knew that unless more
+buildings could be procured, the work would amount to nothing. Upon
+request, the Interior Department set aside two acres of land near
+the government school for the use of the mission.</p>
+
+<p>The Church-Building Society has at different times extended generous
+help, as a result of which the mission finally secured a beautiful
+chapel, with rooms and apartments above and below. Mr. Harper did
+much excellent service throughout his stay, until 1897, when, his
+wife's health giving way, he was compelled to leave the field.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 414px;">

+<span class="caption">ON THE ROAD.</span>
+</div>
+
+<p>I succeeded him at once, and the work went forward, apparently
+without abatement. I organized the work at the two government
+schools carefully, and instituted evangelistic work in both. This
+phase of the work was so successful that on the following Easter, 37
+Indian young people gave their hearts to God and were baptized, and
+on Children's Day, in June following, 29 others came in the same
+way. A fervent religious interest prevailed in both of the
+government schools, so that, at Christmas time, 35 others came into
+the Church on an intelligent confession of faith. This most blessed
+work could not be kept within the narrow bounds of the schoolroom.
+It spread to the camp and field. The parents came to me to learn,
+and I had many requests to go to them and tell them about Jesus,
+till in at least two places, 18 and 20 miles distant from the
+Agency, the camp Indians have asked to have a church organized and a
+house<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_22" id="Page_22">[Pg 22]</a></span> built. On Easter Sunday, 1898, the climax was reached, so far
+as numbers were concerned, when 67 young people, from ten to
+twenty-six years of age, from both tribes, gave themselves to
+Christ, and presented themselves for baptism. The interest is still
+general though somewhat abated in intensity. Several times in the
+last few months have smaller numbers united with the Church.</p>

+<img src="images/img026.jpg" width="420" height="262" alt="IN CAMP." title="" />
+<span class="caption">IN CAMP.</span>
+</div>
+
+<p>A few weeks ago I returned to my work from the East, where dear
+friends showed me every courtesy and sympathy possible, and while at
+the Mohonk Conference of Indian Workers I met many whose hearts and
+purses were open to pray for and help the helpless and abused red
+man. During my visit East I found a general interest and sympathy
+from churches and individuals, and money was put into my hands
+sufficient to add two or three warm rooms to our parsonage, which we
+have vacated and turned over to the sick and distressed Indians for
+a hospital. With the rooms we have just added&mdash;work is now going
+on&mdash;this parsonage hospital has one kitchen, one general work-room,
+two rooms sufficient for four beds, a room for reading and study, a
+laundry or general purpose room, and a bathroom; this latter,
+however, we cannot finish at present for lack of money to provide
+water facilities. Chairs and tables will be put in, and bead and
+embroidery work, done in both silk and worsted, will be persistently
+encouraged, so far as funds will allow.</p>
+
+<p>There is attached to the mission a free medical dispensary, to
+which<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_23" id="Page_23">[Pg 23]</a></span> a great many come. It is, however, only intended to be
+supplemental to the general medical work under the direction of the
+stationed Government physician, who is not only a thoroughly trained
+and competent physician, but a careful and painstaking one as well.
+A great many questions mingled with doubt are frequently asked us,
+by those who look upon the Indian more as a curiosity than a human
+being, or as a painted entity watching for an opportunity to wreak
+vengeance on the white man. "Do you really think these young people
+and camp Indians understand what they are doing," etc., etc.</p>

+
+<p>I say, "We certainly do, when a boy or girl, or a young man or
+woman, no matter what color the skin may be, comes to us of his own
+will, and says, 'I want to have a good heart and love Jesus and want
+to be a Christian,' and then in the presence of both white and red
+scoffers, is baptized and unites with the Church, and lives a
+consistent and prayerful life, I have no reason or no right to
+doubt." A few months ago there walked into the church, just as
+service had begun one Sunday morning, eleven fine-looking Arapahoe
+Indians. They were not richly attired, but they were clean. Only one
+could even partially understand my words, but they were quiet and
+attentive. After service they lingered. I said, addressing the
+leader, "Coyote, what do you want?" "We Indians come 20 miles, want
+to talk about Jesus. We hear you talk some days back, down on Big
+River. You say, God love Indian just the same He love white man.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_24" id="Page_24">[Pg 24]</a></span>
+You say, Jesus came to help Indian be good just the same as white
+man. Indian want good heart, to know how to love squaw and children.
+Indian love Jesus and Indian give Jesus heart and brain and hand and
+feet." "Well," I said, "let us pray and ask God." We knelt. I
+prayed, Coyote prayed, and, with some hesitation, they all, in turn,
+prayed fervently. I have no doubt they understood, although I have
+not taken them into the Church yet.</p>
+
+<p>A few weeks ago an old Indian woman with gray hair came into the
+church. She could not talk much, but in their sign language I asked,
+"Are you a Christian?" "Yes, yes," she replied; "I could not live if
+Jesus leave me," and then making the sign as if washing on a
+wash-board, and the sign for spirit (soul), pointing to my white
+cuff&mdash;Jesus has washed my soul white&mdash;do they not understand? Can
+we, dare we, turn one of these, His little ones, away?</p>

+<h3>SOUTHERN FIELD NOTES.</h3>
+
+<div class="center">BY REV. GEORGE W. MOORE.</div>
+
+
+<p>Quite a number of students and graduates of our A. M. A. schools are
+in business and professional life in northern and western cities, as
+well as in the South. A growing number of colored youth from the
+North attend our Southern institutions. Thus Dr. Dubois, the noted
+negro scholar and writer, came from Massachusetts to Tennessee to
+take his college training at Fisk University. But it is of the
+Southern field, as I have seen it during the last six weeks, that I
+wish to speak.</p>
+
+<p>Our Chandler Institute at Lexington, Ky., is filled with earnest
+students, under the direction of Miss Fanny J. Webster and her
+associates. Every year well-trained young people go out from this
+school to their life-work. During a gospel meeting recently held
+with the Lexington Church, more than fifty of the pupils of Chandler
+School avowed their faith in Christ.</p>
+
+<p>The church is built upon the site of an old slave-pen, the key of
+which is preserved as a relic of those dark days. The neat chapel
+now stands as a symbol of light and truth to the people. The pastor,
+Rev. W. L. Johnson, is a graduate of Fisk, and his wife is from Le
+Moyne Institute. She has taught in our service at Memphis and
+Mobile.</p>
+
+<p>Some of the most representative and influential citizens are members
+of our Lexington Church, among whom are the two leading physicians,
+the supervising principal and several teachers of the public
+schools.</p>
+<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_25" id="Page_25">[Pg 25]</a></span></p>
+<p>A directory of the negro in business reports: four physicians, two
+dentists, two lawyers, an editor, two undertaking establishments,
+several groceries, a drug store and other business enterprises,
+besides mechanics, farmers, etc. They support a home for orphans,
+and maintain a number of benevolent organizations.</p>
+
+<p>The colored people of Lexington hold an Annual Fair at the State
+Fair Grounds, which is a most attractive feature of Kentucky life.
+During the week of the Fair the city is crowded, and the daily
+attendance numbers thousands of the best people of both races. The
+Negro Fair Association is entirely under the management of colored
+men, and has a paid-up capital of several thousand dollars.</p>
+
+<p>The thrift and intelligence of the colored people can be seen by the
+large number of neat and well-appointed homes owned by them.</p>
+
+<p>Plymouth Church, at Louisville, is making hopeful progress under the
+ministry of Rev. E. G. Harris. Among the members of this church are
+three teachers of the Colored High School, who are Fisk graduates.
+The president of the Christian Endeavor is Dr. Whipple, a physician
+of note, and the superintendent of the Sunday-school is Professor
+Perry, the principal of a large public school of over a thousand
+pupils. Some of the most active workers are mechanics and people in
+humble life.</p>
+
+<p>Rev. Gilbert Walton was present at one of our meetings and gave an
+interesting address on the work among the people of the mountains of
+Kentucky and Tennessee.</p>
+
+<p>The colored people of Louisville are also making encouraging,
+material progress. Dr. Whedbee and other colored physicians have
+opened a medical school under the auspices of the Colored State
+College. They have also opened a free sanitarium in the central part
+of the city, which is supported by the colored people.</p>
+
+<p>Our school at Florence, Ala., is crowded with boys and girls who are
+eager for an education. Many of them walk in from the country a
+distance of several miles. Among the pupils are two men who are
+preachers. Miss M. L. Corpier and Miss Nicholson are in charge of
+this school. They are both graduates of Fisk University. A revival
+of great spiritual power was held in connection with the Florence
+church and school. Four men of mature life and heads of families
+were among the converts. The church is growing in numbers and
+influence under the ministry of Rev. R. J. McCann, a graduate of
+Talladega College.</p>
+
+<p>We visited eight families of the church who lived in the country. In
+one of these country homes we held a service in which four persons
+were converted, whom we baptized. Two small children were also
+baptized. There was joy in that home.</p>
+<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_26" id="Page_26">[Pg 26]</a></span></p>
+<p>One of the most unique institutions of Birmingham, Ala., is the
+Penny Savings Bank, under the management of colored men. This bank
+has stood the storms of several panics and has been in successful
+operation for more than a decade; it has the confidence of the
+entire community. Mr. B. H. Hudson, the cashier, a graduate of
+Talladega College, is a leading member of our Congregational Church.</p>
+
+<p>Rev. Abraham Simmons is pastor of the church. At our closing service
+at Birmingham, the three principals of the public schools, and a
+number of teachers who graduated at A. M. A. schools, a graduate of
+Fisk and now a theological student of Oberlin, several business men,
+and men and women of humble life, all testified to their loyalty to
+Christ and joy in His service.</p>
+
+<p>A successful revival service was also held at Knoxville, Tenn., in
+which more than thirty conversions were reported. I was greatly
+cheered on Thanksgiving Day by the receipt of twenty-five messages
+from these young disciples of their love to Christ and desire to
+serve Him.</p>

+
+<h3>NEWS FROM ARCTIC ALASKA.</h3>
+
+<div class="center">W. T. LOPP.</div>
+
+
+<p>A letter just received from Mr. W. T. Lopp, who is missionary in
+Arctic Alaska at Cape Prince of Wales, which was written under date
+of October 2d, is of very great interest. It brings the latest
+message from this distant mission-field, and this message is one of
+great encouragement. Mr. Lopp writes:</p>
+
+<p>"Now that the American Missionary Association is out of debt, we
+hope you will be able to send us a missionary with a missionary wife
+to be with us. It is hardly necessary for us to cite reasons for
+this. He should be a minister, if possible. It would not be right to
+subject children of school age to the influences of the life here.
+You wrote us up last year as having 'no time for gold hunting, and
+yet gold has been discovered within a few miles of the Cape.' This
+brings upon us new anxiety and greater work. Should these claims
+turn out well, the American Missionary Association will not be
+forgotten.</p>
+
+<p>"The <i>Bear</i> has made a wonderful cruise this season. I doubt if she
+ever made a longer one. She arrived here too late to look after some
+whaling vessels, but considerable testimony has been secured, and if
+the present captain commands the <i>Bear</i> again next year I think
+certain whalers will be seized if they do not change their ways. The
+present captain has made a very conscientious commander, and has
+surely exerted himself to perform his duty vigorously and honestly.
+He has administered the law toward the Eskimo as well as white men,<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_27" id="Page_27">[Pg 27]</a></span>
+and arrested those who were guilty of crime. He was very kind to the
+natives, giving them help in coming from Cape Prince of Wales to
+this point and also across the straits to Siberia. When the sea was
+too rough for their skin boats he would have them hoisted up on
+deck. The United States surgeon has also been exceedingly kind to
+us.</p>
+
+<p>"We now have 437 reindeer, and have sent an order signed by Dr.
+Jackson to the station on Norton Sound for the 277 which are yet due
+us. These will be driven up some time this winter. After they come
+we will make an estimate of the number belonging to the Eskimo boys
+and mark them. I have taken one new herder as an apprentice, and
+hope to take another or two next year. We sold reindeer at thirty
+dollars per head to the Bureau of Education, which furnished money
+for training other apprentices. Our old apprentices can now pay
+their own way, and the sale of the reindeer in the future will go
+toward helping new apprentices till they can help themselves.</p>
+
+<p>"The Woman's Home Missionary Association of Boston have contributed
+toward the support of native workers. We received word about it and
+rejoiced in their generous gifts. I will use it in helping support
+Sokweena at our little mission at Mitle-tok. As I wrote last year,
+we were enabled to start this mission through a small contribution
+of about twenty-five dollars from the generous Endeavorers of
+Westboro, Mass. Then some other friends sent in a little help that
+went toward the support of Sokweena and his wife. It is not enough,
+but we will try to make it do for the present. We were unable to
+visit Sokweena but three times last winter. If we could only visit
+him oftener and help him more he would be able to accomplish more.
+But some of the children at his mission learn to spell and write a
+little and to sing. We had some very good meetings. Lucy and I went
+up and stayed three days. We took a lantern. Many of the old folks
+had professed Christ and seemed to be earnest and sincere in their
+prayers. The position for Sokweena is a hard one at times.</p>
+
+<p>"Adlooat, one of our brightest boys, was typo and artist for the
+<i>Eskimo Bulletin</i>. We will not be able to get the <i>Bulletin</i> out
+before November, I am afraid.</p>
+
+<p>"We have just erected a building twelve by forty feet, which we have
+decided to call 'Thornton House.' It is to be used as a workshop,
+club-room and other purposes for the natives. The need of such a
+building had occurred to Mr. Thornton and myself in 1890. Last year
+Mrs. Thornton succeeded in gathering one hundred and twenty-seven
+dollars, which was sufficient to purchase the lumber and pay the
+freight on it. Two natives and I have put up the building. The
+natives did most of the work on it, as I could not leave our house
+long at a time."</p>

+
+<p>The Christian Endeavor movement was rapidly gaining everywhere, and
+it was not long before other societies were started&mdash;in the Oahe
+mission school, and the Presbyterian mission school at Sisseton,
+South Dakota. Fourteen months later the first Indian Christian
+Endeavor Society was started at Santee.</p>
+
+<p>This year at Santee the young people's society includes twenty-one
+of the Indian pupils with three or four of the teachers, and there
+are two junior societies, one of girls and one of boys. There is a
+mothers' society, which was started three or four years ago among
+the women of the mission church. All these societies have an
+important place in the Indian mission work.</p>

+
+<p>In the young people's society many of the members remain the same
+from year to year; but during the ten years one hundred and
+thirty-two young people have joined. They have come from eighteen
+different agencies, and in several cases from more than one village
+in the agency. Out of this one-hundred and thirty-two, twenty-three
+have been engaged, since leaving school, in direct missionary work,
+most of them as preachers and teachers of day-schools, but a few as
+the wives of such teachers, or as teachers in mission
+boarding-schools or missionary helpers. Some of these have done
+excellent work, and those of whom this is true are nearly always
+those who were most faithful and active during their school course
+in the Christian Endeavor Society. Three or four of the most
+promising have died before they had any opportunity to work at their
+homes, but some of these short lives were so faithful and patient
+that perhaps they did more good than many longer lives.</p>

+
+<p>Three other societies have been started among the Indians, where the

+the societies not connected with mission schools have been
+transient, or intermittent in their life. Those at Santee and
+Sisseton, and<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_30" id="Page_30">[Pg 30]</a></span> one at Fort Berthold mission school in North Dakota,

+
+<p>The young people's society at Santee has been a training school for
+its members. It has broadened their feeling of Christian fellowship
+with the great army of fellow Endeavorers. It has given them songs
+that they enjoy very much. It has increased their interest in
+missions and deepened their feeling of responsibility for service to
+the Master.</p>
+
+<p>The junior work at Santee has been especially encouraging among the
+girls, who are rather more responsive than the boys. Of the twelve

+<p>In the monthly meetings of the Mothers' Society of Christian
+Endeavor many questions are asked and answered concerning the care
+and training of children, and the children are remembered in prayer.</p>
+
+<p>One thing, at least, these Christian Endeavor Societies have done.
+They have emphasized the idea of <i>endeavor</i> and <i>service</i>. It
+expresses itself in the use of a new word, or rather the use of an
+old word a thousand times where it was used once before. The name in
+Dakota means "The society of those who want to work for Jesus," and
+"working for Jesus" has become a more prominent thought in all their
+religious life.</p>

+<p>Last year a Junior Endeavor Society of Indian girls gave one dollar
+to the Church-Building Society, one dollar to the Education Society,
+one dollar to the Dakota Native Missionary Society, and one dollar
+to the American Board. A Junior Endeavor Society of Indian boys gave
+one dollar to the American Missionary Association. A Senior Endeavor
+Society of Indian boys and girls last year gave fourteen dollars to
+the American Board and three dollars to the Woman's Missionary
+Union. The Endeavor<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_31" id="Page_31">[Pg 31]</a></span> Society proves, therefore, among the Indian
+boys and girls and young people just what it does everywhere else.
+It gives them larger views of the kingdom of God, it stimulates them
+to greater sacrifice in giving of their means to the spread of this
+kingdom, and awakens within them deeper spiritual earnestness. The
+life of a Christian Endeavorer, wherever that life may be spent,
+cannot be a narrow, selfish life, if loyal to the great Christian
+Endeavor idea. This society is an important factor in Christian
+enlargement and quickening among our young people on the prairie.</p>

+<h3>LINCOLN MEMORIAL SUNDAY.</h3>
+
+
+<p>Sunday, February 11th, marks this celebration in the calendars of
+our Congregational Sunday-schools. A new Concert Exercise has been
+prepared and will be sent to superintendents and teachers who desire
+to keep this day in the interests of Christian patriotism and for
+the support of the work among the needy millions represented in the
+life and history of our martyred President, Abraham Lincoln. The A.
+M. A. reaches by Christian education the American Highlanders, from
+whom Abraham Lincoln came. It sends missionaries and teachers to the
+Negroes, whom Abraham Lincoln freed. It plants its Christian work
+among the Indians, for whom Abraham Lincoln spoke words of honest
+sympathy. It is this great work that appeals to our Sunday-schools.</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
+https://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 are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  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 https://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 https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+FINANCIAL.
+
+
+The receipts to December 31st, the first quarter of the fiscal year,
+are $6,586.98 more than for the same period last year--an increase
+in donations of $6,874.52, in income of $890.20, and in tuition of
+$1,652.58--a decrease in estates for current work of $2,830.32 under
+the policy of reserve legacy account.
+
+We are greatly cheered by this increase in donations. We appreciate
+the cordial response of the churches, Sunday-schools, Endeavor
+Societies and individuals to the necessities of this great work. We
+call especial attention to the efforts which are being made to
+increase the gifts of this Association for the current year
+thirty-three and one-third per cent. This is the amount of increase
+which the Council Committee of Fifteen have asked from the churches.
+The large work demands at least this per cent. of addition to the
+gifts for the current year. Will not each individual church and
+Sunday-school see that their contribution for this year is at least
+a third larger than for the former year?
+
+In addition to this amount needed for the work which has been
+established in other years, the claims of Porto Rico are pressing.
+Ten thousand dollars was a very conservative estimate of the amount
+that was needed at once in this new island territory. The churches,
+and especially the Sunday schools, have responded generously in
+bringing up the gifts to about half this amount. There is imperative
+need immediately for the full amount, properly and energetically to
+press the work in Porto Rico along the lines of Christian education
+and evangelization.

+
+THE PROGRESSIVE SOUTH.
+
+
+It is encouraging to note the signs of progress at the South towards
+meeting the heavy responsibilities of the situation. It is a mistake
+to imagine that the Southern situation does not improve from year to
+year. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions, appreciate the trend
+of events and the necessity for the elevation of the depressed
+millions with whom they are intermingled. The Southern tragedies of
+murder and violence have awakened the same horror in their hearts as
+throughout the country at large. There is a rising sentiment against
+lynching and for enforcing justice by the cold and passionless
+execution of law. There is a strong desire to give the advantages of
+education to both the ignorant whites and the ignorant blacks. There
+is a growing sympathy for the beneficent efforts to this end which
+are put forth from the North.
+
+It is a great mistake to confuse the whole South with certain lower
+elements in its vast and varied populations. It is also a mistake to
+imagine that sporadic instances of violence here and there are
+sufficient indices of the situation at large. Millions of the
+Southern whites and blacks are dwelling together in amity and co
+operation for the advance of education and for moral progress.
+Illustrations are multiplying on every side of the desire on the
+part of the progressive South to fulfil the duties and meet the
+heavy responsibilities thrust upon it by the masses of population
+submerged in ignorance.
+
+These immense masses are the burden not only of the South, but of
+the American people at large. Ignorant labor is shiftless and
+wasteful labor. The growth of varied and inter-related manufactures
+cannot rest upon a labor element of clumsiness and stupidity. Civil
+duties demand intelligence and morals. The best patriotism of the
+South joins hands with that of the North in the elevation of the
+lowly and ignorant. What has been done is only the initiation of the
+ten times more which must be done.
+
+It is a significant fact that the last national census showed that
+the white illiteracy of the South was deeper than even the foreign
+illiteracy of the North; while that of the Southern black population
+was fearfully darker. Both public and private efforts are being made
+in countless communities of the South to begin the lifting of this
+great burden. Some of the States have already taken encouraging
+measures in this direction. While there are reactions, the general
+tide is that of progress. It is easy to make too much of the violent
+reactionary outcries of a few Southern newspapers. It must be
+remembered that these shrill expostulations against progress are
+comparatively isolated and do not represent the general and
+deliberate sense of the intelligent South. The day has come when
+intelligent leaders, North and South, can unite their efforts and
+push forward the work of popular upliftment throughout the South.
+The lesson of the hour is not that of impatience and denunciation,
+but of mutual sympathy and co-operation. The hopeful progress of the
+past is a presage to the magnificent progress assured to the
+immediate future.
+
+No more timely words have been spoken than those of a Southern
+philanthropist when he said: "The Negro must be educated. It is
+absolutely necessary to both races that his education go on. In our
+extremity we look to wise and just people in the Northern States to
+help us to help both races."

+
+GREETINGS TO PORTO RICANS.
+
+
+At a meeting of the representatives of the different benevolent
+societies of our Protestant denominations who are entering upon
+mission work in Porto Rico a committee was appointed to draw up
+a paper containing a greeting to these people. The paper was to
+be published in Spanish and English. The copies in English were
+to go especially to the missionaries to be scattered among
+English-speaking people. The Spanish translation was intended for
+the native Porto Ricans. This paper was signed by representatives
+of different denominations as will be seen. This broad,
+comprehensive and loving message from the Christians of America to
+the people of Porto Rico, who are now a part of our own country,
+must meet the approval of all those interested in the progress of
+the Kingdom of God rather than some narrow denominational victory.
+This greeting to the Porto Ricans is as follows:
+
+"We rejoice that your beautiful island has become part of the United
+States. We take you by the hand as fellow-citizens of this Republic.
+We pray that you may share fully with us in all the blessings it has
+to give. We have come among you to show our interest in and our
+sympathy with you, and to do what we can to help you and your
+children toward the larger life that is possible to us all.
+
+"We come to you as we have gone to all other parts of our beloved
+land--as messengers of the gospel of Jesus Christ our Saviour. We
+have come as brethren in Christ, as joint-members of that spiritual
+body of which He is the head, to preach and teach among you, and
+thus in mutual helpfulness to build up the Kingdom of our common
+Lord and to answer His prayer 'that they all may be one,' and that
+His will may 'be done in earth as it is in heaven.'
+
+"We are agreed in the great truths of our holy religion, and we will
+work together that they may produce in this historic island all the
+choicest fruits of Christian life and culture. We would teach the
+children the way of eternal life, and bring to the men and
+women--full of cares and burdens--the rest and comfort and hope that
+come through faith in the Saviour. And so shall they and we all be
+brethren and sisters in Christ.
+
+"These are the common purposes that bring us hither. In the name of
+our common Master we pray you give us and our preachers welcome, and
+join your labors with ours that this island, so charming in its
+natural features, may more and more have the beauty of a pure and
+purifying religion. Then happy will be your homes and happy your
+people--as Holy Scriptures declare, 'Happy is that people whose God
+is the Lord.' Education will brighten the lives of the children;
+Christian morality will stand guard in every community against sin,
+and the peace which Christ promised to His people will rest upon us
+and ours.
+
+"Praying for God's richest blessings upon you, beloved people of
+Porto Rico, and asking your co-operation with us, we are
+
+  Yours in Gospel of Jesus Christ,
+

+PIONEERS IN PORTO RICO.
+
+SECRETARY CHARLES. J. RYDER.
+
+
+The opening of this new island territory for the Christian schools
+and the evangelistic work of the American Missionary Association is
+of great interest. Many questions are naturally asked by those who
+are in sympathetic touch with this new and important movement.
+
+_Who have gone to this field? Where have they gone and what fields
+are opening? Why have they gone?_ These questions present themselves
+to the attention of those who have watched with great interest the
+opening of this island to an intelligent and progressive Christian
+influence. Let us answer these questions in this article.
+
+[Illustration: A SHACK--A PEASANT'S RESIDENCE.]
+
+First, who have gone in this pioneer band of missionaries to Porto
+Rico?
+
+The educational work is especially under the care and direction of
+Prof. Charles B. Scott and his wife. Prof Scott is a graduate of
+Rutgers College and of Oswego State Normal School. He is a teacher
+of many years' experience and thoroughly qualified for the
+establishment and direction of the educational work of the
+Association among this people. Mrs. Scott, a graduate of Michigan
+University, also takes an active part in this work. They are both
+devoted Christians, and the religious quickening and spiritual
+elevation of the people comprise an important part of their
+efforts.
+
+[Illustration: MISS JULIA D. FERRIS.]
+
+Miss Julia D. Ferris goes from Saginaw, Michigan. She received her
+education at Wellesley College after leaving the High School of her
+own city. She has been a teacher for several years and has attained
+marked success in this work.
+
+[Illustration: MISS ISABEL FRENCH.]
+
+Miss Isabel French is a graduate of a classical school in New York
+City and pursued a post-graduate course at Barnard College. She has
+had large experience in teaching and in Christian and philanthropic
+work, which qualifies her for this mission field.
+
+[Illustration: MISS JENNIE L. BLOWERS.]
+
+Miss Jennie L. Blowers has already had experience in the mission
+schools of the American Missionary Association, having taught in
+Chandler Normal School at Lexington, Ky. Her home is in Westfield,
+New York. She was reappointed to work in the South, but was ready to
+enter this more distant island field. She is well qualified for this
+new work.
+
+[Illustration: MISS KATHERINE M. ROWLEY.]
+
+Miss Katherine M. Rowley comes from Oberlin, Ohio, being a member of
+the First Congregational Church of that city. She is a graduate of
+Oberlin College and is cordially recommended for this missionary
+service by her professors and teachers.
+
+Miss Mary L. Daniels is a member of Dr. Munger's church in New
+Haven, Conn. She has been a teacher in the public schools, where she
+has attained a high position as a very competent instructor. She
+takes with her the regard and confidence of a large circle of
+friends and there is every prospect of her abundant success.
+
+[Illustration: MISS MARY L. DANIELS.]
+
+All these teachers understand the Spanish language to some extent.
+This is essential, in order to do the work in Porto Rico.
+
+Rev. John Edwards, a pastor from Ohio, has been sent out by the
+Association as an evangelist in this same field. The preaching of
+the gospel is greatly needed, and Mr. Edwards' circuit covers a
+large area in evangelistic services. He is in eastern Porto Rico,
+where there is scarcely any other missionary work.
+
+And so this little band of eight devoted men and women have entered
+upon the pioneer work in opening up Porto Rico to an intelligent
+gospel. They have gone out with the prayers and sympathy of
+thousands of those who have been greatly interested in the important
+work in this island territory. The future promises large things in
+the building up of Christian character and the establishment of
+progressive Christian institutions.
+
+[Illustration: REV. JOHN EDWARDS,
+
+_Evangelist_.]
+
+_Where have these missionaries gone?_ They landed first at San Juan,
+on the northeastern portion of the island. They established a school
+at Santurce, which is a few miles distant from San Juan. From this
+field Miss Blowers writes as follows:
+
+[Illustration: AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION SCHOOL, SANTURCE.]
+
+"The schoolhouse opens on the street (the military road), where
+there is a constant stream of passers by. There is not an hour in
+the day that there are not spectators peering in at doors and
+windows with idle curiosity or eager interest. Sometimes there are
+not more than three or four, but often as many as eighteen or
+twenty. Let me tell you of the various persons who composed this
+outside audience, as I watched them one morning. A native policeman,
+a business man waiting for his car, three beggars, boys with large
+trays of bread, fruit and sweetmeats on their heads, a washerwoman
+with a huge basket of clothes poised securely on her head, the
+driver of an ox-cart, who stopped his team while we sang "America,"
+three women going to market, a party of daintily dressed,
+sweet-faced senoritas with their chaperone, a dirty, wild-looking
+old hag who almost frightened me, a young mother carrying a naked
+baby in her arms, and boys--well, it was no use to count them. What
+do you think? Are we not being well advertised?"
+
+[Illustration: ON THE MILITARY ROAD FROM SAN JUAN TO LARES.]
+
+Great care was taken in locating these schools. Rev. A. F. Beard,
+Senior Secretary of the A. M. A., and Rev. William H. Ward, D.D., a
+member of the Executive Committee, visited the island to examine the
+conditions and discover the best points for such work. Prof. Scott,
+after reaching the island, also made thorough investigation
+concerning the most important location. He wrote after reaching
+Porto Rico: "The railroad from Arecibo is impassable. I hired a pony
+and a boy to guide me and started for the town. The only way of
+traveling now, except on military roads, is by pony. I had never
+ridden two miles on horseback in my life, but it had to be done and
+I am still intact, and have ridden twenty to twenty-five miles
+to-day without even getting stiff. We reached Arecibo, having to
+ford or ferry streams five times. There were no bridges left.
+
+"Friday I rode to Lares, eighteen miles over the roughest trail
+imaginable. Much of it is as steep as a stairway, with stones of all
+sizes replacing the steps. But I managed to stick to my pony. We
+reached Lares at eight o'clock, the eighteen miles taking nine
+hours, with three hours at noon waiting for the rain to cease."
+
+Lares, a town of 3,000 population, is situated in the western part
+of the island. It was finally decided that this should be the place
+for the second school planted by the American Missionary
+Association. Prof. Scott writes also: "Lares is a very pleasant
+place, built around the top of a hill, the best residences at the
+top, with best possible drainage and supplied with excellent spring
+water. I had a letter to the Alcalde (Mayor) and to the leading
+doctor of the town, a very intelligent man, who speaks English. I
+examined several buildings and found one admirably adapted to our
+purpose. It is central, with a large room on the ground floor and
+five bedrooms, a dining room and kitchen for the teachers.
+Everything is in excellent order. The sanitary condition, with some
+changes, cannot be surpassed. The house seems just built for our
+purpose, and with a minimum expense can be enlarged to give two
+good-sized dormitories. All the people whom I saw were very much
+interested in our work. The city can do nothing. They have paid no
+salaries for months."
+
+The schools at Lares and Santurce represent the present educational
+work of the Association in Porto Rico. Both schools are well under
+way and large numbers of eager pupils are in attendance. Prof. Scott
+wrote so urgently for reinforcements in order to meet the needs
+already pressing, that an additional missionary teacher was sent in
+January. Miss Johanna Blinka was selected for this important
+mission, as she was thoroughly acquainted with the Spanish language
+and had had large experience in educational and missionary work.
+This completes the force of eight teachers already engaged in the
+educational work under the American Missionary Association in the
+island of Porto Rico.
+
+Rev. John Edwards has begun work in the eastern part of the island.
+There are few missionaries here and the opportunities for
+evangelistic work are pressing. The following interesting facts were
+received under recent date from Mr. Edwards: He writes from Fajardo,
+eastern Porto Rico, "There are many circumstances attending the work
+here that are very trying and require the greatest of patience.
+Still, on the whole, there is great encouragement. I have rented a
+building here at Fajardo, to occupy as the centre of missionary work
+in this region. I ordered a dozen benches with backs, to be used for
+public service. A little table stands at the end of the room, on
+which I place the Bible and use as a pulpit. It is my intention to
+develop fully the promising conditions both here at Fajardo and also
+at Humacao, where I have found a warm welcome.
+
+"I understand the best time on Sunday for public worship is in the
+evening. The young men are most of them occupied during the day.
+Sunday is their busy market day until three or four o'clock in the
+afternoon, when the market and stores close and all are free to go
+whither they like. Some of the young men told me that a number would
+attend our meetings in the night, that could not come during the
+day. Of course, this is a condition unfavorable to such Christian
+work, and yet I hope to be able to gather considerable audiences and
+reach this needy people with the living gospel of Jesus Christ. I
+speak in Spanish with comparative ease. We held services Sunday
+morning, at which I preached. We then sang several hymns which the
+people are rapidly learning. We need hymn books to offer them for
+sale, that they may be used in our meetings."
+
+[Illustration: A STREET IN SANTURCE--A SUBURB OF SAN JUAN.]
+
+From this letter it will be seen that work is opening hopefully
+before our evangelist. As the work develops it will demand a
+reinforcement of preachers capable of doing the same sort of
+earnest, evangelistic work. The demand in every department of this
+new island territory is pressing and imperative. Surely the churches
+of our Congregational fellowship will see to it, each one of them,
+that the work is fully and cordially supported.
+
+But a very natural question remains to be answered, namely, why have
+these missionaries gone to this island field? The answer is easy and
+natural. In the first place, Porto Rico is the only territory that
+has come under the immediate direction and control of the United
+States government as a result of the war with Spain. It is
+emphatically a home missionary field. The responsibility of our
+American churches is immediate and direct for the spread of the
+gospel among the inhabitants of this island, who are even now our
+fellow citizens. The American Missionary Association follows the
+flag. By the adjustment of work suggested by the churches years
+ago, at which the Association surrendered its foreign field and took
+the work among the Indians as a legitimate department of its home
+work, it has confined its missions to the territory of the United
+States. Patriotism reinforces the demands of Christianity for the
+physical, intellectual and religious development of the people in
+Porto Rico. The time is immediate and the command imperative. It is
+the command of our country as truly as of God.
+
+Churches, expressing their views through resolutions of local
+conferences and associations, urged upon the A. M. A. to occupy this
+island field. This was another reason for going.
+
+The appeal put before the churches in behalf of this important new
+work met with immediate and hopeful response. Ten thousand dollars
+are still demanded in order to put the work upon a proper and
+permanent foundation. Buildings should be erected for the schools,
+and this immediately. Also homes for the teachers, where model
+housekeeping can reinforce the instruction of the schoolroom and
+industrial class. Has not some friend, who reads these messages from
+Porto Rico, the ability and desire to send a check to our treasury
+at once, to put one of these mission schools in permanent quarters
+and thus greatly reinforce the present work and secure its
+permanency?
+
+Little by little, as the evangelistic movements progress, chapels
+will be needed for the accommodation of audiences that gather for
+Christian worship. Here again is a large increase upon the demands
+of Christian people for this new work of the American Missionary
+Association.
+
+Surely this little band of heroic Christian missionaries and
+teachers who have gone out from their homes and from our shores,
+responding at once to the call of the Master to enter this important
+and large field, will not be forgotten by Christian men and women in
+our churches. The work must not suffer. It should be reinforced
+promptly and largely. In God's providence, mysterious and
+incomprehensible, this island has become a part of our country. The
+call now comes to occupy the field, not with armies and military
+movements, but with the peaceful influences of Christianity. The
+intellectual and moral quickening of the youth and children through
+the Christian institutions planted among them, and the preaching of
+the simple gospel of Jesus Christ to this destitute people, create a
+responsibility which our Congregational churches must meet
+courageously and generously.

+
+
+There was romance in its birth. Regimental bands headed the
+procession; army officers, men of renown, North and South, gathered
+in the hospital barracks; thousands of ex-slaves, were there. One
+passion animated this dusky throng. To learn to read was the
+ambition of the bright colored boy, of his sedate but none the less
+eager sire, and of the veteran grandparent with white hair and with
+eyes that must learn the alphabet by the aid of spectacles.
+
+[Illustration: JUBILEE HALL.
+
+Builded with money earned by the original Jubilee Singers.]
+
+It was a moment of inspiration. The man to appreciate the hour and
+give utterance to its meaning, was there. He had hardly surrendered
+his commission as chaplain in the army. He had fought to win the
+freedom of a race. To make that race true free men was a task much
+more vast than to emancipate them. The parting of the ways had come.
+An illiterate people must be taught. No longer should it be a crime
+to instruct them. The rather was he the criminal who should deny
+them an education. It was an hour for the voice of a prophet. With
+the ken of a seer, Chaplain Cravath, representing the American
+Missionary Association, Jan. 9th, 1866, made the proclamation, that
+the founding of the school inaugurated that day was the beginning of
+a great educational institution, that should give to the emancipated
+race the opportunities and advantages of education which had so long
+been furnished to the white race in their colleges and universities.
+
+[Illustration: THE RAW MATERIAL.]
+
+Gen. Fisk, the brilliant soldier and ardent philanthropist, lent
+invaluable aid and consented to have the institution, so
+problematical in its existence, bear his name. Governor Brownlow and
+the pioneer educator of colored youth, Professor John Ogden, added
+the weight of their words and helpful deeds, and Fisk had come into
+being.
+
+[Illustration: FISK'S FINISHED PRODUCT.]
+
+ROMANCE ATTENDED THE EARLY LIFE OF THE UNIVERSITY.--Nearly four
+years had passed, when the Professor of music started out with a
+band of colored youth, who had been named the Jubilee Singers. That
+they could sing with incomparable sweetness he knew. That the songs
+they were to sing had incomparable pathos no one who heard them
+doubted. But nothing short of sublimest faith could have sent forth
+this band of friendless youth on their mission. They often were
+penniless as they went from town to town. They arrived at Oberlin
+and were permitted to sing before the National Council, then in
+session at that stronghold of the colored man. The tide turned. It
+rose with rapidity. Plymouth, Brooklyn, and other churches were
+opened to them. The entire North gave them welcome. They crossed the
+Atlantic; that gracious friend of humanity Queen Victoria, gave them
+audience. Her incomparable prime minister, Gladstone, made them his
+guests at Hawarden. Germany and France heard them. At the end of
+seven years they returned to Nashville and laid at the feet of the
+University the munificent sum of $150,000, a large part of which was
+devoted to the erection of Jubilee Hall and the remainder to the
+paying for the campus of thirty-five acres, once a slave plantation,
+now the most commanding location in the Athens of the South, as
+Nashville, the seat of four universities, is justly called.
+
+[Illustration: A BAND OF KING'S DAUGHTERS.]
+
+[Illustration: LIVINGSTONE HALL.
+
+A gift mainly from Mrs. Valeria G. Stone.]
+
+THERE HAS BEEN ROMANCE IN ALL ITS LIFE. Never for a year has the
+hard work, the distasteful drudgery, the, at the time, apparently
+fruitless toil been undertaken on the basis of cold calculating
+judgment; from its birth to the present hour, ideals that to most
+men would have seemed dreams and wild fancies, have animated the
+leaders of this enterprise--such ideals as have underlain the
+world's greatest achievements and have given heart to the world's
+victors.
+
+[Illustration: FISK MEMORIAL CHAPEL.
+
+Erected with the bequest of Gen. Fisk. Seats 1,000.]
+
+WISDOM AND PAINSTAKING ATTENTION to the material interests of the
+University, that have challenged the admiration of those who have
+watched its growth, have been coupled with all this romance. The
+ideal has been made actual. This has not been due to one man, nor
+one sex, nor one race. For a quarter of a century and more, have men
+and women, white and black, worked with an unanimity rarely equaled,
+with patience and self-sacrifice. As the outcome there is
+
+  FISK OF TO-DAY.
+
+The building of Jubilee Hall set the pace for the progress of the
+institution. Thorough workmanship, good taste and belief in a large
+future, have prevented the erection of buildings which could be used
+only a short time and must be replaced by structures adapted to the
+work. Eight substantial buildings afford the facilities now needed
+and are so grouped that in the near future the Central and Music
+Halls can be erected, to complete the general plan. Already the
+large enrolment of pupils, coming, as they do, from more than a
+score of the states of our Union, is making the proposed buildings a
+necessity and affording other givers the opportunity to bless
+humanity that has been so handsomely met by those large-minded
+donors who have built the structures already erected.
+
+[Illustration: THEOLOGICAL HALL.

+
+[Illustration: THE 1899 FOOTBALL TEAM.]
+
+THE EVERY-DAY LIFE OF THE UNIVERSITY is first of all religious. With
+no cant, with the avoidance of undue emotion, with a constant appeal
+to Christian manhood and womanhood, men and women loyal to Jesus,
+seeking less their rights than to faithfully perform their duties,
+are being reared. For nine months in a year the faculty of Fisk,
+like those who in large cities man college settlements, day and
+night seek in every way and by all means to arouse and perpetuate
+the highest Christian ideals. Added to these are intellectual
+training, musical culture and a spirit of true gentility. The
+student body honors scholarship, awakens ambitions, cultivates good
+manners, frowns upon untidyness of appearance, while by firmly
+sustained legislation the faculty forbids any display of
+extravagance in attire. Patches and darns are expected; soiled or
+neglected garments the school will not permit. In a word, what one
+would expect to find in a Caucasian institution, composed of pupils
+of moderate means, with high ideals and gentle manners, are found at
+Fisk. The choicest of the recently emancipated race are here seeking
+a training. As always and everywhere, none reach the highest ideal.
+Some are found who fail to aspire to it; a few are intractable, but
+to one who recalls the life of the race and the treatment it has
+received before and since it was freed, life at Fisk is a constant
+miracle.

+
+THE FISK IDEA is an expression often on the lips of its alumni. It
+may be summed up in this: The rudiments of learning for all, manual
+training for those that are adapted to it and will use it in their
+after life, the best of culture for those who are capable of
+receiving and employing it. In a word, capacity not color,
+Christianity not caste, is to decide the question as to the kind of
+education a youth is to receive, whether he dwell in the North or
+South, whether he be an Ethiopian or an Anglo-Saxon. Exceeding few
+in comparison with the vast multitude of their race will be those
+who receive their diploma at Fisk; but they are to be the leaders of
+a people sorely needing leadership. And Fisk's determination to rear
+such leaders is an abiding protest against the spirit which denies
+to any human being a chance, and a declaration that the Church, like
+its divine Master, is to minister especially to those who most need
+help.
+
+FISK PRODUCTS are the test of its work. Each year it publishes to
+the world its list of graduates, and over against each name what he
+is doing for the world. It does not hesitate to compare this list
+with a like catalogue of any institution with equipment equal to its
+own. It has faith to believe that the demon of prejudice will not
+always hold its flaming sword to bar true manhood deserving success
+at the threshold of life. It would do its part to overcome this
+demon by producing self-respecting manhood, which in the eyes of
+all true men commands respect.
+
+FISK'S NEEDS are great. It needs such an endowment as shall enable
+it to decline help from that truest foster mother--the A. M. A. Its
+chairs professorial and for instructors should be placed upon a
+permanent footing. In no other way can its fine plant be utilized.
+If Northern institutions of learning must rely upon endowments to
+pay from two-thirds to three-quarters of the cost of educating their
+students, certainly an institution educating the youth of a race
+scarcely forty years out of the house of bondage, and hence poor
+beyond all expression, needs vastly more the income of an endowment
+to supplement the meagre tuitions which its pupils pay. Here is an
+opportunity for the man of large means to bestow a princely gift,
+while the man of slender means none the less can invest in the same
+undertaking.
+
+The man or men who shall thus endow Fisk, will have ever the favor
+of Him who has declared Himself the friend of the poor and needy.
+

+
+Fisk's greatest need is an answer to the prayer of God's people for
+that constant indwelling of the divine Spirit which shall keep in
+stout heart those who, with personal self-sacrifice, are doing its
+work.

+CHEYENNE AND ARAPAHOE INDIANS.
+
+REV. W. M. WELLMAN, OKLAHOMA.
+
+
+Christian work among the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians of Oklahoma
+was first entered upon some ten years ago. It was begun by two
+Christian Indians who labored with their own people until they were
+discouraged and the work well-nigh died. Afterwards several young
+men, one after another, came into the field, but though they were
+individually earnest, their work did not make much impression. They
+procured tables, chairs and reading matter and fitted up a room, but
+nine out of ten of those to whom they were sent could neither read
+nor write, and of course did not seem to be greatly drawn to current
+literature. In 1893, however, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Woodward took
+charge, and did most excellent service, remaining almost a year
+until they left to become missionaries in India.
+
+[Illustration: (1) MISSION, DARLINGTON, OKLAHOMA.]
+
+[Illustration: (2) MR. AND MRS. WELLMAN AND INDIAN WOMAN AND CHILD.]
+
+Up to this time, for lack of funds and steady workers, the work had
+been but poorly organized, and though the men who had been leading
+were wise, earnest and true, yet as a force for permanent good, it
+was somewhat in question.
+
+In 1895 Rev. R. H. Harper, coming to take charge, found, he says,
+one cheap two-room cottage, one pony, an old wagon and harness and
+besides these a table and a few chairs. He knew that unless more
+buildings could be procured, the work would amount to nothing. Upon
+request, the Interior Department set aside two acres of land near
+the government school for the use of the mission.
+
+The Church-Building Society has at different times extended generous
+help, as a result of which the mission finally secured a beautiful
+chapel, with rooms and apartments above and below. Mr. Harper did
+much excellent service throughout his stay, until 1897, when, his
+wife's health giving way, he was compelled to leave the field.
+
+[Illustration: ON THE ROAD.]
+
+I succeeded him at once, and the work went forward, apparently
+without abatement. I organized the work at the two government
+schools carefully, and instituted evangelistic work in both. This
+phase of the work was so successful that on the following Easter, 37
+Indian young people gave their hearts to God and were baptized, and
+on Children's Day, in June following, 29 others came in the same
+way. A fervent religious interest prevailed in both of the
+government schools, so that, at Christmas time, 35 others came into
+the Church on an intelligent confession of faith. This most blessed
+work could not be kept within the narrow bounds of the schoolroom.
+It spread to the camp and field. The parents came to me to learn,
+and I had many requests to go to them and tell them about Jesus,
+till in at least two places, 18 and 20 miles distant from the
+Agency, the camp Indians have asked to have a church organized and a
+house built. On Easter Sunday, 1898, the climax was reached, so far
+as numbers were concerned, when 67 young people, from ten to
+twenty-six years of age, from both tribes, gave themselves to
+Christ, and presented themselves for baptism. The interest is still
+general though somewhat abated in intensity. Several times in the
+last few months have smaller numbers united with the Church.
+
+[Illustration: IN CAMP.]
+
+A few weeks ago I returned to my work from the East, where dear
+friends showed me every courtesy and sympathy possible, and while at
+the Mohonk Conference of Indian Workers I met many whose hearts and
+purses were open to pray for and help the helpless and abused red
+man. During my visit East I found a general interest and sympathy
+from churches and individuals, and money was put into my hands
+sufficient to add two or three warm rooms to our parsonage, which we
+have vacated and turned over to the sick and distressed Indians for
+a hospital. With the rooms we have just added--work is now going
+on--this parsonage hospital has one kitchen, one general work-room,
+two rooms sufficient for four beds, a room for reading and study, a
+laundry or general purpose room, and a bathroom; this latter,
+however, we cannot finish at present for lack of money to provide
+water facilities. Chairs and tables will be put in, and bead and
+embroidery work, done in both silk and worsted, will be persistently
+encouraged, so far as funds will allow.
+
+There is attached to the mission a free medical dispensary, to
+which a great many come. It is, however, only intended to be
+supplemental to the general medical work under the direction of the
+stationed Government physician, who is not only a thoroughly trained
+and competent physician, but a careful and painstaking one as well.
+A great many questions mingled with doubt are frequently asked us,
+by those who look upon the Indian more as a curiosity than a human
+being, or as a painted entity watching for an opportunity to wreak
+vengeance on the white man. "Do you really think these young people
+and camp Indians understand what they are doing," etc., etc.
+
+[Illustration: IN WINTER QUARTERS.]
+
+I say, "We certainly do, when a boy or girl, or a young man or
+woman, no matter what color the skin may be, comes to us of his own
+will, and says, 'I want to have a good heart and love Jesus and want
+to be a Christian,' and then in the presence of both white and red
+scoffers, is baptized and unites with the Church, and lives a
+consistent and prayerful life, I have no reason or no right to
+doubt." A few months ago there walked into the church, just as
+service had begun one Sunday morning, eleven fine-looking Arapahoe
+Indians. They were not richly attired, but they were clean. Only one
+could even partially understand my words, but they were quiet and
+attentive. After service they lingered. I said, addressing the
+leader, "Coyote, what do you want?" "We Indians come 20 miles, want
+to talk about Jesus. We hear you talk some days back, down on Big
+River. You say, God love Indian just the same He love white man.
+You say, Jesus came to help Indian be good just the same as white
+man. Indian want good heart, to know how to love squaw and children.
+Indian love Jesus and Indian give Jesus heart and brain and hand and
+feet." "Well," I said, "let us pray and ask God." We knelt. I
+prayed, Coyote prayed, and, with some hesitation, they all, in turn,
+prayed fervently. I have no doubt they understood, although I have
+not taken them into the Church yet.
+
+A few weeks ago an old Indian woman with gray hair came into the
+church. She could not talk much, but in their sign language I asked,
+"Are you a Christian?" "Yes, yes," she replied; "I could not live if
+Jesus leave me," and then making the sign as if washing on a
+wash-board, and the sign for spirit (soul), pointing to my white
+cuff--Jesus has washed my soul white--do they not understand? Can
+we, dare we, turn one of these, His little ones, away?

+
+SOUTHERN FIELD NOTES.
+
+BY REV. GEORGE W. MOORE.
+
+
+Quite a number of students and graduates of our A. M. A. schools are
+in business and professional life in northern and western cities, as
+well as in the South. A growing number of colored youth from the
+North attend our Southern institutions. Thus Dr. Dubois, the noted
+negro scholar and writer, came from Massachusetts to Tennessee to
+take his college training at Fisk University. But it is of the
+Southern field, as I have seen it during the last six weeks, that I
+wish to speak.
+
+Our Chandler Institute at Lexington, Ky., is filled with earnest
+students, under the direction of Miss Fanny J. Webster and her
+associates. Every year well-trained young people go out from this
+school to their life-work. During a gospel meeting recently held
+with the Lexington Church, more than fifty of the pupils of Chandler
+School avowed their faith in Christ.
+
+The church is built upon the site of an old slave-pen, the key of
+which is preserved as a relic of those dark days. The neat chapel
+now stands as a symbol of light and truth to the people. The pastor,
+Rev. W. L. Johnson, is a graduate of Fisk, and his wife is from Le
+Moyne Institute. She has taught in our service at Memphis and
+Mobile.
+
+Some of the most representative and influential citizens are members
+of our Lexington Church, among whom are the two leading physicians,
+the supervising principal and several teachers of the public
+schools.
+
+A directory of the negro in business reports: four physicians, two
+dentists, two lawyers, an editor, two undertaking establishments,
+several groceries, a drug store and other business enterprises,
+besides mechanics, farmers, etc. They support a home for orphans,
+and maintain a number of benevolent organizations.
+
+The colored people of Lexington hold an Annual Fair at the State
+Fair Grounds, which is a most attractive feature of Kentucky life.
+During the week of the Fair the city is crowded, and the daily
+attendance numbers thousands of the best people of both races. The
+Negro Fair Association is entirely under the management of colored
+men, and has a paid-up capital of several thousand dollars.
+
+The thrift and intelligence of the colored people can be seen by the
+large number of neat and well-appointed homes owned by them.
+
+Plymouth Church, at Louisville, is making hopeful progress under the
+ministry of Rev. E. G. Harris. Among the members of this church are
+three teachers of the Colored High School, who are Fisk graduates.
+The president of the Christian Endeavor is Dr. Whipple, a physician
+of note, and the superintendent of the Sunday-school is Professor
+Perry, the principal of a large public school of over a thousand
+pupils. Some of the most active workers are mechanics and people in
+humble life.
+
+Rev. Gilbert Walton was present at one of our meetings and gave an
+interesting address on the work among the people of the mountains of
+Kentucky and Tennessee.
+
+The colored people of Louisville are also making encouraging,
+material progress. Dr. Whedbee and other colored physicians have
+opened a medical school under the auspices of the Colored State
+College. They have also opened a free sanitarium in the central part
+of the city, which is supported by the colored people.
+
+Our school at Florence, Ala., is crowded with boys and girls who are
+eager for an education. Many of them walk in from the country a
+distance of several miles. Among the pupils are two men who are
+preachers. Miss M. L. Corpier and Miss Nicholson are in charge of
+this school. They are both graduates of Fisk University. A revival
+of great spiritual power was held in connection with the Florence
+church and school. Four men of mature life and heads of families
+were among the converts. The church is growing in numbers and
+influence under the ministry of Rev. R. J. McCann, a graduate of
+Talladega College.
+
+We visited eight families of the church who lived in the country. In
+one of these country homes we held a service in which four persons
+were converted, whom we baptized. Two small children were also
+baptized. There was joy in that home.
+
+One of the most unique institutions of Birmingham, Ala., is the
+Penny Savings Bank, under the management of colored men. This bank
+has stood the storms of several panics and has been in successful
+operation for more than a decade; it has the confidence of the
+entire community. Mr. B. H. Hudson, the cashier, a graduate of
+Talladega College, is a leading member of our Congregational Church.
+
+Rev. Abraham Simmons is pastor of the church. At our closing service
+at Birmingham, the three principals of the public schools, and a
+number of teachers who graduated at A. M. A. schools, a graduate of
+Fisk and now a theological student of Oberlin, several business men,
+and men and women of humble life, all testified to their loyalty to
+Christ and joy in His service.
+
+A successful revival service was also held at Knoxville, Tenn., in
+which more than thirty conversions were reported. I was greatly
+cheered on Thanksgiving Day by the receipt of twenty-five messages
+from these young disciples of their love to Christ and desire to
+serve Him.

+NEWS FROM ARCTIC ALASKA.
+
+W. T. LOPP.
+
+
+A letter just received from Mr. W. T. Lopp, who is missionary in
+Arctic Alaska at Cape Prince of Wales, which was written under date
+of October 2d, is of very great interest. It brings the latest
+message from this distant mission-field, and this message is one of
+great encouragement. Mr. Lopp writes:
+
+"Now that the American Missionary Association is out of debt, we
+hope you will be able to send us a missionary with a missionary wife
+to be with us. It is hardly necessary for us to cite reasons for
+this. He should be a minister, if possible. It would not be right to
+subject children of school age to the influences of the life here.
+You wrote us up last year as having 'no time for gold hunting, and
+yet gold has been discovered within a few miles of the Cape.' This
+brings upon us new anxiety and greater work. Should these claims
+turn out well, the American Missionary Association will not be
+forgotten.
+
+"The _Bear_ has made a wonderful cruise this season. I doubt if she
+ever made a longer one. She arrived here too late to look after some
+whaling vessels, but considerable testimony has been secured, and if
+the present captain commands the _Bear_ again next year I think
+certain whalers will be seized if they do not change their ways. The
+present captain has made a very conscientious commander, and has
+surely exerted himself to perform his duty vigorously and honestly.
+He has administered the law toward the Eskimo as well as white men,
+and arrested those who were guilty of crime. He was very kind to the
+natives, giving them help in coming from Cape Prince of Wales to
+this point and also across the straits to Siberia. When the sea was
+too rough for their skin boats he would have them hoisted up on
+deck. The United States surgeon has also been exceedingly kind to
+us.
+
+"We now have 437 reindeer, and have sent an order signed by Dr.
+Jackson to the station on Norton Sound for the 277 which are yet due
+us. These will be driven up some time this winter. After they come
+we will make an estimate of the number belonging to the Eskimo boys
+and mark them. I have taken one new herder as an apprentice, and
+hope to take another or two next year. We sold reindeer at thirty
+dollars per head to the Bureau of Education, which furnished money
+for training other apprentices. Our old apprentices can now pay
+their own way, and the sale of the reindeer in the future will go
+toward helping new apprentices till they can help themselves.
+
+"The Woman's Home Missionary Association of Boston have contributed
+toward the support of native workers. We received word about it and
+rejoiced in their generous gifts. I will use it in helping support
+Sokweena at our little mission at Mitle-tok. As I wrote last year,
+we were enabled to start this mission through a small contribution
+of about twenty-five dollars from the generous Endeavorers of
+Westboro, Mass. Then some other friends sent in a little help that
+went toward the support of Sokweena and his wife. It is not enough,
+but we will try to make it do for the present. We were unable to
+visit Sokweena but three times last winter. If we could only visit
+him oftener and help him more he would be able to accomplish more.
+But some of the children at his mission learn to spell and write a
+little and to sing. We had some very good meetings. Lucy and I went
+up and stayed three days. We took a lantern. Many of the old folks
+had professed Christ and seemed to be earnest and sincere in their
+prayers. The position for Sokweena is a hard one at times.
+
+"Adlooat, one of our brightest boys, was typo and artist for the
+_Eskimo Bulletin_. We will not be able to get the _Bulletin_ out
+before November, I am afraid.
+
+"We have just erected a building twelve by forty feet, which we have
+decided to call 'Thornton House.' It is to be used as a workshop,
+club-room and other purposes for the natives. The need of such a
+building had occurred to Mr. Thornton and myself in 1890. Last year
+Mrs. Thornton succeeded in gathering one hundred and twenty-seven
+dollars, which was sufficient to purchase the lumber and pay the
+freight on it. Two natives and I have put up the building. The
+natives did most of the work on it, as I could not leave our house
+long at a time."

+CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS AMONG THE INDIANS.
+
+F. B. RIGGS.
+
+
+It will be ten years this February since the first Indian Christian
+Endeavor Society was organized in Santee Normal Training School, at
+Santee, Nebraska.
+
+The Christian Endeavor movement was rapidly gaining everywhere, and
+it was not long before other societies were started--in the Oahe
+mission school, and the Presbyterian mission school at Sisseton,
+South Dakota. Fourteen months later the first Indian Christian
+Endeavor Society was started at Santee.
+
+[Illustration: CHAPEL, SANTEE NORMAL SCHOOL, NEB.
+
+Meeting-place of our Indian Endeavor Society.]
+
+[Illustration: MAMIE DAKA ELDER,
+
+_Pres't Santee Endeavor Soc._]
+
+This year at Santee the young people's society includes twenty-one
+of the Indian pupils with three or four of the teachers, and there
+are two junior societies, one of girls and one of boys. There is a
+mothers' society, which was started three or four years ago among
+the women of the mission church. All these societies have an
+important place in the Indian mission work.
+
+[Illustration: ETTA R. STAMFORD,
+
+_Sec'y Santee Endeavor Soc._]
+
+In the young people's society many of the members remain the
+same from year to year; but during the ten years one hundred and
+thirty-two young people have joined. They have come from eighteen
+different agencies, and in several cases from more than one village
+in the agency. Out of this one-hundred and thirty-two, twenty-three
+have been engaged, since leaving school, in direct missionary work,
+most of them as preachers and teachers of day-schools, but a few
+as the wives of such teachers, or as teachers in mission
+boarding-schools or missionary helpers. Some of these have done
+excellent work, and those of whom this is true are nearly always
+those who were most faithful and active during their school course
+in the Christian Endeavor Society. Three or four of the most
+promising have died before they had any opportunity to work at their
+homes, but some of these short lives were so faithful and patient
+that perhaps they did more good than many longer lives.
+
+[Illustration: SANTEE JUNIOR ENDEAVOR SOCIETY.]
+
+Three other societies have been started among the Indians, where the
+leaders were chiefly from those who had been members at Santee. But
+the societies not connected with mission schools have been
+transient, or intermittent in their life. Those at Santee and
+Sisseton, and one at Fort Berthold mission school in North Dakota,
+have lived. A society is to be started at the Omaha Agency soon.
+

+
+[Illustration: FRED INYANHOKJILA JOHNSON,
+
+_Chair'n Prayer-meeting Committee, Santee Endeavor Soc._]
+
+The young people's society at Santee has been a training school for
+its members. It has broadened their feeling of Christian fellowship
+with the great army of fellow Endeavorers. It has given them songs
+that they enjoy very much. It has increased their interest in
+missions and deepened their feeling of responsibility for service to
+the Master.
+
+The junior work at Santee has been especially encouraging among the
+girls, who are rather more responsive than the boys. Of the twelve
+little girls in the picture, one died last year, but eight are now
+members of the senior society.
+
+In the monthly meetings of the Mothers' Society of Christian
+Endeavor many questions are asked and answered concerning the care
+and training of children, and the children are remembered in prayer.
+
+One thing, at least, these Christian Endeavor Societies have done.
+They have emphasized the idea of _endeavor_ and _service_. It
+expresses itself in the use of a new word, or rather the use of an
+old word a thousand times where it was used once before. The name in
+Dakota means "The society of those who want to work for Jesus," and
+"working for Jesus" has become a more prominent thought in all their
+religious life.

+
+Last year a Junior Endeavor Society of Indian girls gave one dollar
+to the Church-Building Society, one dollar to the Education Society,
+one dollar to the Dakota Native Missionary Society, and one dollar
+to the American Board. A Junior Endeavor Society of Indian boys gave
+one dollar to the American Missionary Association. A Senior Endeavor
+Society of Indian boys and girls last year gave fourteen dollars to
+the American Board and three dollars to the Woman's Missionary
+Union. The Endeavor Society proves, therefore, among the Indian
+boys and girls and young people just what it does everywhere else.
+It gives them larger views of the kingdom of God, it stimulates them
+to greater sacrifice in giving of their means to the spread of this
+kingdom, and awakens within them deeper spiritual earnestness. The
+life of a Christian Endeavorer, wherever that life may be spent,
+cannot be a narrow, selfish life, if loyal to the great Christian
+Endeavor idea. This society is an important factor in Christian
+enlargement and quickening among our young people on the prairie.

+LINCOLN MEMORIAL SUNDAY.
+
+
+Sunday, February 11th, marks this celebration in the calendars of
+our Congregational Sunday-schools. A new Concert Exercise has been
+prepared and will be sent to superintendents and teachers who desire
+to keep this day in the interests of Christian patriotism and for
+the support of the work among the needy millions represented in the
+life and history of our martyred President, Abraham Lincoln. The A.
+M. A. reaches by Christian education the American Highlanders, from
+whom Abraham Lincoln came. It sends missionaries and teachers to the
+Negroes, whom Abraham Lincoln freed. It plants its Christian work
+among the Indians, for whom Abraham Lincoln spoke words of honest
+sympathy. It is this great work that appeals to our Sunday-schools.

+
+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

+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

+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.

+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

+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

+     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 are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  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.

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

+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:

+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.
