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. + + * * * * * + +FRESH LEAFLETS FOR 1900. + + + "Annual Statistical Leaflet." + + "Annual Report, 1899." + + "Universal Brotherhood Through Christ," Sermon by Rev.

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." + + F. P. W. + + * * * * * + +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, + + T. J. MORGAN, + + W. H. WARD." + + * * * * * + +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. + + * * * * * + +FISK UNIVERSITY. + +J. G. MERRILL, D.D., DEAN. + + +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. + +Builded mainly by the A. M. A., a band of Jubilee Singers +assisting.] + +[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: INDUSTRIAL BUILDING AND GYMNASIUM. + +Erected through a legacy by Mr. Howard, of Nashville, and gift of +Dr. A. J. Burrell, of Oberlin, O.] + +[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. + +Erected by the A. M. A. with money from the income of the Daniel +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. + +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: DAVID P. FLYINGHAWK, + +_Chair'n Lookout Committee, Santee Endeavor Society_.] + +[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. + +[Illustration: KATE WAMNIYOMNIWAJTEWIN FRUH, + +_Chair'n Missionary Committee, Santee Endeavor Society_.] + +[Illustration: MINNIE WANMLIWIN LAST-HORSE. + +_Chair'n Flower Committee, Santee Endeavor Society_.] + +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. + +[Illustration: JUNIOR ENDEAVORERS MAKING A MISSIONARY QUILT.] + + * * * * * + +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.

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 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.

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.

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. |
