LIV. APRIL, 1900. No. 2. + + * * * * * + +FINANCIAL--SIX MONTHS. + + +The first six months of the present fiscal year of the American +Missionary Association closed March 31st. The receipts are +$18,961.74 more than for the same period last year. The increase in +donations is $10,699, and in estates $6,433.24, exclusive of the +reserve legacy account. The tuition and similar receipts are +$1,829.49 more than last year. This is a favorable and encouraging +showing. We gratefully acknowledge the generosity of the friends of +the great missionary work carried on by this Association, as evident +in their increased donations. + +The payments during this period have been $17,595 more than for the +same months last year. The net balance, exclusive of the reserve +legacy account, is $1,366.74 more favorable than that for the first +six months of last year. The increase in current receipts has been +expended in the mission fields which have been so greatly crippled +by the enforced retrenchments during recent years. + +The Association rejoices in its freedom from debt and in the +favorable showing for these first six months. The next six months +include the summer season, in which missionary gifts are often +greatly reduced and the income suffers. We would again remind the +pastors, Sunday-school superintendents, officers of Endeavor +Societies and Woman's Missionary Circles of the great and pressing +need upon the Association, both in old and new fields, among the +many millions for whom our faithful missionaries labor. Porto Rico +demands increased gifts. The field is opening with great hopefulness +both in educational and evangelistic lines. Word comes from +missionaries there urging reinforcements, which means more +consecrated money to meet this pressing necessity. + + * * * * * + +A WORD AS TO THE MAGAZINE. + + +Letters frequently come to the editor of this magazine expressing +regret that it does not reach the subscriber regularly each month. +No one can regret this fact more than the editor. It must be +remembered that the magazine is no longer a monthly, but a +quarterly. This reduction in the frequency of the issue of our +periodical was found necessary by the Executive Committee during the +hard financial conditions through which we have recently passed. In +order to economize in the expenditures, the four numbers per year +were decided upon. The economy was necessary. The disadvantages, +however, are very apparent. Large space in each magazine is +necessarily occupied by the statistical report of receipts. This is +essential. It is an important financial safeguard and an evidence of +the thorough business administration of the Association. + +However, less space is left for general matter. Partially on account +of this restriction of space the magazine has taken a slightly +different complexion. It is our desire to present as complete as +possible the nature and conditions of the missionary work in our +various fields. The discussion of incidental or even fundamental +problems connected with the work of this Association is not often +possible. Those who contribute to this work either money or prayers +have a right to know what is being accomplished. Nothing can present +it so clearly as illustrated articles, prepared by those who are in +these mission fields. In the current issue two important schools are +presented in this way. + +In the Department of Christian Endeavor the development of work +among the young people of the Highlands is interestingly presented. +During the current year we plan to present our secondary +institutions as the higher institutions were presented--through +illustrated articles during the last year. + +We acknowledge with gratitude the pleasant words spoken concerning +the AMERICAN MISSIONARY in various periodicals. The cordial notices +in missionary cotemporaries of other denominations, and those of our +own mission schools, is especially appreciated. + +A commission consisting of two members of the Executive Committee +have recently visited the mission field. Rev. E. S. Tead, of Boston, +and President T. J. Backus, of Brooklyn, were selected by the +committee for this special service. They were accompanied by the +senior secretary, Rev. A. F. Beard, and through a part of the field +by Sec. G. H. Gutterson, of the New England District. They carefully +inspected several of the schools of the Association, and their visit +was of great value. The testimony they bear to the efficiency of the +work and to the interests of the field is pronounced and emphatic. +In a future issue of this magazine we hope to present articles from +members of this commission which will be of great interest to our +readers. The testimony of an experienced pastor and prominent +educator must have great weight. + +Strong testimony to the value of the educational work among the +negroes is found in _Harpers' Weekly_ for February 10th. In an able +editorial on "Negro Education," we find the following: "The storm +and stress period of the South is still upon it. The curse of +slavery has not yet been removed. But it is clear that the schools +are sending the light into the dark places, and that everything that +shuts off or reduces the brilliancy of the light is inimical not +only to the negro, but to the whites themselves, to the South, and +to the whole country." No truer word than this could be spoken. The +education of the negro is not a question of sectional or local +importance alone. It is fundamental to the safety and development of +our country. There are in the Southern public schools 27,445 +teachers employed in teaching negroes. Twenty-six per cent. of the +average attendance of school children in the Southern States, +including the District of Columbia, are negroes. The total +enrollment of the blacks constitute, however, only 52 per cent. of +the children of that race of school age. This fact again emphasizes +the necessity of such schools as the American Missionary Association +plants among these black people. The high grade and exceptional +character of these schools are certainly worthy of commendation. The +report of our commissioners based upon facts personally and +independently gathered by each will present the conditions as they +are. The years of heroic and sacrificial service on the part of a +body of missionaries and teachers, unsurpassed in any field, are +bringing their legitimate and noble fruitage. + + * * * * * + +FIFTY-FOURTH ANNUAL MEETING. + + +Springfield, Mass., has set the doors of its hospitality wide open +in its welcome to the Fifty-fourth Annual Meeting of the American +Missionary Association. This city occupies an ideal position for +such a convention. It is the center of many railroad lines, both +steam and electric. A large population are resident in the towns and +cities and countryside, easily accessible through these lines of +transportation. It is so located geographically that many of our +most populous states are within easy distance. Add to this the +cordial enthusiasm of the churches and citizens who invite the +Association, and we have every element of a great and inspiring +meeting. Already committees are organized and arrangements are being +perfected for this meeting. + +Full particulars will be given in a future number of the MISSIONARY, +and in our Congregational papers. Rev. Philip S. Moxom, D.D., +Springfield, Mass., is the chairman of the general committee, and +will receive and pass over to the proper sub-committee any +correspondence which may reach him. + + * * * * * + +TILLOTSON COLLEGE, AUSTIN, TEXAS. + +M. R. GAINES, PRESIDENT. + + +[Illustration: ALLEN HALL, TILLOTSON COLLEGE] + +January 17, 1881, witnessed the opening of this institution. It was +christened "Tillotson Institute." The age of "romance" in the +education of the negro was well-nigh passed. The matter-of-fact +brain of the late Rev. George J. Tillotson, of Wethersfield, Conn., +formulated the plan, and his generous heart enabled him, with the +aid of individual contributors and the American Missionary +Association, to carry his plan into execution. His purpose was to +give the negroes of this far-away Southwest opportunities for +securing an education equal to those of any other portion of our +fair land. With this end in view he visited Austin and secured an +ideal site for the coming college, destined to become the "Yale of +the Southwest." Austin contains the magnificent Capitol, the State +University, St. Edward's College and other schools, public and +private, besides the state institutions for the insane, the blind, +the deaf, the aged soldier and the orphan. Within the limits of the +city, and yet removed from its din and dust, commanding views of +many of these buildings, and of the far-reaching valley of the +Colorado and the wooded hills beyond, our campus of twenty acres is +a delight to the eye. Undulating, well suited for drainage, well +stocked with shade trees and a profusion of wild flowers in their +season, it is at once beautiful, healthful and inspiring. + +[Illustration: CARPENTER SHOP, TILLOTSON COLLEGE.] + +The first building erected on this lot was Allen Hall. It stands on +a hill of easy ascent, and is a substantial structure of stone and +brick, five stories in height. While it was approaching completion, +as story after story was added, the ambitious and intelligent young +colored people watched its growth, eagerly anticipating the time +when they would "enter its basement and ascend story by story, till +they should step out upon the roof full-fledged college graduates." + +Money for the purchase of the lot came mostly from Mr. Tillotson's +own purse. His efforts in soliciting funds were largely instrumental +in securing the means for erecting and furnishing the building. The +list of contributors to this part of the undertaking included the +names of men well known for their literary works, philanthropy, +patriotism and fidelity to the Saviour of Men. Most of those early +donors have passed from earth, but they are still an inspiration to +all engaged in the work, and we of this generation can clasp hands +with them in the purpose and effort to make real their intentions. +Though dead "their works do follow them." + +For fourteen years Allen Hall afforded all the space available for +dormitories for teachers and students of both sexes, dining-room, +study-room, recitation rooms, chapel and church services. A series +of partitions divided each floor, from basement to attic, into east +and west halls. A small addition in the rear served for kitchen. + +[Illustration: BOYS IN CARPENTER SHOP, TILLOTSON COLLEGE.] + +At the opening of the school there was no charge for tuition. The +aspirants for an education "without money and without price" carried +the enrollment to a point never since reached in the history of the +school. + +In 1888 the carpenters' shop was built and industrial training was +introduced. An appropriation of $900 from the Slater Fund aided in +meeting the additional expense. A marked evidence of the +appreciation of this advance is shown in the record of attendance, +which increased nearly eighty per cent., and reached the highest +figures it has ever done under a charge for tuition. + +A material enlargement to the accommodations for teachers and +students came in 1894, in the new Girls' Hall, that was occupied for +the first time in the autumn of that year. This was erected with +funds provided by the American Missionary Association, and is a +beautiful and convenient structure. The main part is three and a +half stories in height, with wing and rear extension two and a half +stories in height. It contains kitchen, dormitories and +sitting-rooms for teachers and girls, and a spacious, airy and +attractive dining hall for all. + +The same year a new charter was obtained and the name changed to +"Tillotson College." + +[Illustration: DINING ROOM, GIRLS' HALL, TILLOTSON COLLEGE.] + +The Tillotson Church of Christ in Austin was organized January 4, +1885. Rev. J. E. Roy, D.D., Rev. Jeremiah Porter, D.D., and Rev. J. +H. Parr, conducted the services. Twelve members were received by +letter and seven on profession. While a large majority of the +students are members of churches at entrance, comparatively few have +joined the church of the school. The entire enrollment of active +members has been one hundred and eleven. This, by no means, gives a +fair indication of the Christian spirit and activity of the school. +In the religious meetings there is never any reference to +denominational or sectarian differences. + +On the 1st of February, 1899, the church adopted the "Mt. Holyoke +Plan" of a "Wayside Covenant," and thirty-five teachers and students +have signed that and entered into fellowship with us, while +retaining membership in their own churches. + +Porter Chapel, erected for outside missionary work in a needy part +of the city, has had a checkered but useful experience. Once it was +burned. It was rebuilt in 1890. Here Miss Martha J. Adams was wont +to meet people, young and old, and dispense aid and comfort along +many lines. Here, too, have been held for many years Sunday-school +services, and preaching services from time to time, as strength and +opportunity allowed. + +[Illustration: MECHANICAL DRAUGHTING CLASS, TILLOTSON COLLEGE.] + +In the early years there were a few students, mostly children of +teachers, in college courses, and a still smaller number in +theology. The aim from the first has been to give instruction in the +elements of a good common school education, and to provide advanced +work for such as could complete a high school course, or were +preparing to teach, or to continue their studies in higher +professional schools elsewhere. The list of graduates is still a +short one. The motto, "QUALITY NOT QUANTITY," finds its illustration +here as in all the rest of the work of the school. The standard of +scholarship has always been high and is steadily advancing. Many who +have never graduated have done excellent work as teachers in the +public schools of the state. "Tillotson" students are in demand and +are known and respected for their honesty and reliability. Of the +graduates, some are in responsible positions in this state, while +others are pursuing courses of study in higher institutions at the +North, or have already entered upon professional work. The great +work of such a school is in its "leveling up." Who shall measure +this? When a boy on retiring at night folds and carefully lays away +the sheets and pillow slips from his bed, to "keep them clean," or +when he thinks, on entering the dining-room, that he has "reached +heaven," evidently there is room for such work. + +Teachers and students together strive to make Tillotson a place of +refined and Christian culture. The chapel bell calls all to morning +prayers, on school days, and to Sunday-school, church services and +Christian Endeavor, on Sundays. Each evening the family gathers +about the Word at its altar in the dining-room. Bible-study is a +part of the regular course through all the grades. + +[Illustration: SEWING CLASS, TILLOTSON COLLEGE.] + +Twenty years is a short time for estimating the harvest from such +sowing as this. The beginning was small. The annals are meagre. Here +have labored earnest and consecrated men and women from the best +institutions of the North. The citizens of Austin have always been +sympathetic and helpful. Several of the most prominent of them have +served on the board of trustees. Many of them have contributed +towards the equipment of the industrial departments of the school. + +A small blacksmith shop on the place was a gift of the business men +of Austin. The colored patrons of the school, in all sections of the +state, have always been most cordial and enthusiastic in their +commendation and confidence. It is little wonder that, with the +passing of the years, the school has grown steadily in the +estimation and affection of all classes. In the early days, the hall +at commencement was occupied largely by white people. In these later +years the audiences are composed largely of intelligent and +appreciative colored people. + +When one considers the scanty equipment of the school he can but be +surprised that it has accomplished so much. + +[Illustration: CLASS GROUP, TILLOTSON COLLEGE.] + +Endowment, aside from land and buildings, it has none. For income it +has always depended upon grants by the American Missionary +Association from its own funds and the Daniel Hand estate, the +direct contributions of individuals, and payments by the students +for board and tuition. The intention is to make the expenses for +students as light as possible. After the first session the charges +for tuition were fixed for the grammar department at $2.00 per +month; for the normal department at $2.50 per month; for board and +tuition together $12.00 per month. In 1887 the tuition for the +grammar department was dropped to $1.00 per month. The other charges +remained in force for ten years, when the tuition was made the same +for all, $1.00 per month. To meet the necessities of the case we are +forced to allow our students to work out at least half of these very +moderate charges. Nearly all the manual labor about the institution +is done by students. Thus, in a very practical way, they help +themselves pecuniarily and acquire knowledge of housekeeping in its +manifold lines. + +To train the hand as well as the head the boys receive instruction +in carpentry and industrial draughting, and the girls have regular +lessons in needlework, dress-making and kindred subjects. + +[Illustration: GIRLS' HALL, TILLOTSON COLLEGE.] + +Tillotson has always done good work. She has made a name for +herself. Standing, as she does, for thoroughgoing, non-sectarian, +Christian education, for true manhood and womanhood, with mutual +co-operation and helpfulness, with so many from all parts of this +great State of Texas looking to her for light and leadership, her +opportunities for usefulness are out of all proportion to her means. +To properly meet these demands she sorely needs many things. A full +list of imperative needs would call for too much space. A few must +suffice. + +A reasonable sum of money for endowment of professorships. + +A great addition to apparatus and appliances for experiment and +instruction. + +Refurnishing of present buildings from top to bottom. + +Sanitary drainage and plumbing. + +A neat and pleasant chapel. A library and reading-room, with funds +to purchase new books. + +An extension to complete girl's hall, on the present plan, affording +needed rooms for girls and teachers. + +Music rooms removed from study and recitation rooms. + +A building, with power, for metal working, tinsmithing, etc. + +A plant for typesetting and printing. + +Additional teachers should be employed, and the courses of study +extended, so that men fully equipped for the demands of the new +century can be furnished here. + +Tillotson thus sends forth her plea to Christian men and women all +over our land to be used as the means of untold blessing to needy +thousands. Her usefulness has been great. It can be indefinitely +increased with comparatively small outlay. Here are grand +opportunities for investment in "futures" that will yield large +returns. Just after the death of the late Dr. Joseph Hardy Neesima, +of Japan, who had been so generously aided by Hon. Alpheus Hardy, of +Boston, who had also died not long before, a Christian friend +wrote:--"I wonder what Mr. Hardy thinks now of his investment in +Joseph Hardy Neesima." They both can now realize so much more fully +the meaning of the Master's words: "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto +one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto ME." + +[Illustration: GROUP OF STUDENTS ON STEPS OF ALLEN HALL, TILLOTSON +COLLEGE.] + + * * * * * + +AVERY NORMAL INSTITUTE, CHARLESTON, S. C. + +M. A. HOLMES, PRINCIPAL. + + +More than ordinary interest attaches to this institution for the +education of colored youth and the training of colored teachers, +located as it is in the very cradle of secession, and near the spot +from which was fired the first gun in the long war waged for their +perpetual enslavement; and in a city situated in the heart of the +cotton and rice-fields of the Southland. + +[Illustration: AVERY NORMAL INSTITUTE, CHARLESTON, S. C.] + +Scarcely had the smoke of the long conflict cleared away or civil +authority been fully restored in this long-besieged city, when +General Saxton, then Assistant Commissioner of the Freedmen's +Bureau, opened a school in the Memminger building on St. Philip +Street, built for and since used for the education of white +children. Here, on the first day of October, 1865, were gathered a +thousand children eager for the education so long denied to their +race. So great was the pressure to gain admission to this school +that one hundred children were seated in the great dome that +surmounts the edifice. + +The studies during the first year embraced the entire range of +elementary branches, from the primer to the Latin grammar. About +three-fourths of those who attended this first school were children +of freedmen; the others, making up the advanced classes, were born +free and constituted an aristocracy of color, a distinction which, +after a lapse of more than a third of a century, still exists. + +The closing examinations of this first year were attended by a large +audience of both white and colored. There were present ladies and +gentlemen, missionaries and teachers, civil and military +dignitaries, and the leading representatives of both races. It was a +novel and moving sight, one that the wildest imagination could not +have foreseen or deemed possible five years before. + +[Illustration: PROF. M. A. HOLMES, PRINCIPAL.] + +In its second year the school, then known as the Saxton School, held +its sessions in the Military Hall on Wentworth Street, where with a +slightly reduced enrollment, it remained until removed to its +present quarters, May 1, 1865. The large and handsome building which +it now occupies was erected by the American Missionary Association +through the Freedmen's Bureau. Rev. Charles Avery, of Pittsburg, +Pa., had given a large sum for the education of the colored people, +and ten thousand dollars of his bequest were appropriated to the +institution, and in honor of this noble philanthropist the name was +changed to Avery Normal Institute. Here the enrollment was +necessarily reduced and the normal character of its work made more +prominent, a feature that had been contemplated from the beginning. + +In any survey of the work of Avery, three principals should receive +special recognition for their thorough, enduring and Christian labor +in this needy field. They are the Rev. F. S. Cardozo, by whom the +school was first organized in the Memminger building, Prof. M. A. +Warren, who succeeded him and graduated the first class in 1872, and +Prof. Amos W. Farnham, now of the Oswego Normal School. Each of +these men was distinguished for unusual teaching skill, for great +administrative ability, and for complete consecration to the work to +which he was specially called. These worthy educators are still +remembered here with affection and gratitude, but the full fruition +of their labors will be known only in the great day when the books +shall be opened. + +For over thirty years about four hundred colored students have +annually gathered here for the training which was to fit them for +life's work. For many years all grades, from the primary to the high +school and normal course, were maintained, but in later years the +primary and intermediate pupils have been excluded, their +instruction being amply provided for in the public and numerous +private schools of the city, thus leaving the Institute free to +devote itself to higher grades and normal work, in which Avery has +been from the first conspicuous and eminently successful. Its +graduates now number nearly four hundred and are found in almost +every department of human activity. Some are distinguished in +professional life, others in trade, or in business. Among them are +doctors, skilled and eminent in their chosen fields of labor, +clergymen of acknowledged ability, and teachers of long and +successful experience. About two-thirds of all its graduates choose +teaching as their special vocation; and nearly all prove their skill +and ability in the schoolroom, and have reflected great credit on +their alma mater and have been a blessing to their race. There has +been for the last ten years a steady and growing demand for colored +teachers of ability and with special training for their work; and +there is not a county in the state to which our graduates do not go +as teachers, and in the lower counties and along this malarial coast +nearly all the schools for colored children are taught by Avery +graduates. In many places conditions are such that no one can +undertake this work without jeopardizing health or risking life +itself. But there are not wanting those whom zeal and devotion lead +into these dangerous fields. Names might be given of those who have +even given up life itself at work in these malarial districts, +proving their zeal and the missionary spirit which actuated them. + +Avery has cost large sums of money; to maintain such an institution +by charity through a third of a century is no small undertaking, +requiring faith and consecration. But it has repaid more than a +hundred-fold all that has ever been expended. Here in this historic +city, surrounded by lowlands of rice and cotton, the negro was found +in overwhelming numbers, and after emancipation, in utter ignorance +of book lore or a pure gospel. To this people the American +Missionary Association, through the Avery Institute and its +consecrated workers, has brought the light of knowledge and a pure +gospel, and awakened aspiration and hope of a better life. The +beneficial effects of this work upon such a people, and indirectly +upon the city and state, are incalculable. Intelligent Christianity +and Christian education has ever been the motto of Avery, and +faithfully has it been realized in the lives of its graduates, and +exemplified by them in all the relations that affect good +citizenship and true manhood. Race conflicts in this city have been +unknown since the days of reconstruction, and it is not too much to +claim that this better condition of things here is largely due to +the influence exerted by Avery. + +[Illustration: NORMAL CLASS OF 1900, IN CHAPEL.] + +Although it is in the strictest sense a school, in which all studies +in every department are prosecuted under a high pressure, which +knows no relaxation, yet religious teaching has ever been a +prominent feature, and the Bible is considered the best text book in +the school. It has never been sectarian, but always Christian in its +teaching and influence. No year passes without numerous conversions +among its pupils, and every church in the city has been blessed in +some measure by accessions to its membership from the students of +Avery. + +The blessings which this school has brought to this people, and +indirectly to a far wider constituency, are not wholly a free gift +to them. A monthly tuition fee has always been required and +collected from all in attendance, except in special cases, in which +its collection would impose great hardship or compel the withdrawal +of worthy pupils from the school. But in spite of this monthly +charge and the sacrifices made to meet it and keep their children in +school, these people, out of their meagre earnings, which in so many +cases make accumulations impossible, have kept their children in +school, and to the end of a twelve years' course, in numbers that +would shame many a more prosperous community in more favored +sections of our land, where schools and books are entirely free. In +1895 twenty-four successfully completed its course and graduated +with honor; in 1896 twenty were added to the alumni roll; in 1897 +twenty-eight; in 1898 thirty-one; in 1899 twenty-four; and at this +writing twenty-four are taking final examinations for graduation in +June. And from these large classes there is not one that is not an +honor to the community, scarcely one that has not found a position +as a teacher or in some useful calling or industry, while a few are +taking higher courses in other institutions. Are not these facts +sufficient answer to the charge so often made, that the colored +people are losing their interest in education, or that higher +education does not benefit them? + +Our work has been mainly academic; that is the purpose for which +Avery was called into existence, to educate and train colored +teachers, and to fit them for honorable positions in trade or +business. + +The dignity of labor has always been faithfully inculcated, and +opportunities for it have not been wanting. Nearly all the normal +students and many in the lower classes go from school to some useful +occupation, learning trades, or engaging in other remunerative +employment. Large numbers not only maintain themselves but are +necessary helpers to the bread-winners of their respective families. + +But in keeping with the tendencies of the times and of the newer +education, and with the traditions and practice of the American +Missionary Association, an industrial department has been added to +Avery, and it has aroused no little enthusiasm among students and +patrons. Needlework for the girls has been introduced, and under an +accomplished and efficient instructor it has been from the first a +great success. The girls from the lower grades as well as from the +normal classes are being systematically trained to do their own +sewing, and will in time be taught to make their own garments. Our +purpose is to add to this, cooking and other departments of domestic +science, as the resources of the Association will permit. Steps have +been taken to establish a printing department. + +In 1892 Avery Normal Institute was incorporated under the laws of +the state, though the control of the school has been kept in the +same hands as before, a majority of the trustees being in the +executive committee or the administrative force of the American +Missionary Association. The purpose of the incorporation was to +secure for its graduates the advantages which the laws of the state +confer upon graduates of all incorporated institutions. + +[Illustration: SEWING CLASS, SIXTH GRADE.] + +An article of this nature would be incomplete without some reference +to charges so frequently made, and in high places too, that +education, and especially the higher education, does the negro more +harm than good, and that the educated classes furnish the larger +part of the criminals. That there are educated criminals is not +doubted, but they are not confined to one race, nor do they come +from the students of the American Missionary Association schools. Of +the nearly four hundred living graduates of Avery, not one is a +criminal nor has one ever been accused of crime, and the writer has +yet to learn of more than two who have proved unworthy of the +training they have received, or dishonored their alma mater by +immoral lives. These fell under a stress of circumstances that would +have ruined almost any young person. On the contrary, the graduates +of this and other schools under the auspices of the Association are +conspicuous for worthy and upright character, for thrift, for +industry and good citizenship. + +And this is true not only of those who complete our course and +receive their diplomas, but of hundreds of others who do not go +beyond the grammar grades. Such invariably make better citizens. It +is a rare thing to learn that one of the students from any class of +our school has become a criminal. The criminal classes are not +recruited from the pupils in missionary schools. + + +OUR NEEDS. + +We need large contributions of money or materials that will enable +us to enlarge and develop our industrial department. A promising +beginning has been made, but it is only a beginning, and we desire +to extend it in many lines, giving the widest possible scope to +individual talent or proclivities, without lowering in any degree +the present standard of scholastic attainment. + +We need contributions of money and books to enlarge our library and +give to our students advantages which they cannot now find in the +city. A good library is absolutely indispensable in all educational +work. We have a few hundred well worn volumes, the merest apology +for a library, but it is the only one in the city to which colored +people have access. + +We appeal to individuals, to Sunday-schools, to Christian Endeavor +societies and to churches for the establishment of scholarships for +worthy and capable pupils. We have many such, on whom the burdens +press so heavily that continuance in school to the end of the course +is an impossibility. We wish to help such after they have reached +the normal department. A small sum expended in keeping these worthy +students in the school may bring rich rewards when the harvests of +life are all finally gathered. + + * * * * * + +SOUTHERN FIELD NOTES. + +GEORGE W. MOORE, FIELD MISSIONARY. + + +Early in the school year the teachers of Trinity School, Athens, +Alabama, made their annual visitation to the country people. They +carried with them the good cheer of the holiday season in the +distribution of odds and ends from barrels from Northern friends. +Gifts were distributed to a hundred persons, old and young. One old +lady, fearing that she had been overlooked, exclaimed: "Wat you +gwine to gib me?" and she was made happy by the gift of a bandanna +handkerchief. Trinity School fills a large place in that community, +as it is the only school for colored pupils in a radius of several +miles of Athens. + +A revival followed the week of prayer service at Talladega College. +The school is full, and all are happy in the work. + +Secretary Beard's trip through the Southern field was a delight to +the workers and students. His sermons and addresses and wise counsel +were helpful to all. Porto Rico was made very real by his graphic +descriptions of the country and people. + +Our church at Shelby Iron Works, Ala., is flourishing under the +labors of Rev. E. E. Scott. Mr. Scott, with his rich tenor voice, +leads the people in the singing of the old spirituals, and the choir +in anthems and song. + +Rev. T. J. Bell and his people are doing good service at Selma. + +Miss M. L. Phillips and her associates are happy in their work at +Marion, Ala. A deep religious interest was awakened both at Marion, +Ala., and at our Lincoln School at Meridian, Miss. Rev. M. Jones, a +graduate of Tougaloo University, is pastor at Meridian, and Rev. C. +L. Harris, the former minister, is now at Mobile. + +The Emerson Institute at Mobile is doing excellent work, under the +direction of Dr. Burnell and his teachers. + +The meeting of the Louisiana Association was held with the Central +Church, New Orleans. The attendance was good, and the reports of the +churches, addresses and papers were full of interest. + +The Woman's Missionary Union, Christian Endeavor and Sunday-school +Association also held interesting meetings. + +The Straight University has a large attendance; the school is making +good progress in its various departments of literary and industrial +work. + +After the meeting of the Louisiana Association, I visited the work +at Thibodeaux, Schriever, Chacahoula, Abbeville, Lake Charles and +New Iberia. At several places a deep religious interest was +awakened, and a large number avowed their faith in the Saviour. + +A new church has been organized at Lake Charles, La., with thirty +members. It gives promise of growth and fruitful service. Rev. S. J. +Wood, a graduate of Straight University, is pastor. The people +bought a lot, and the Church-Building Society aided them in buying a +meeting-house which has been removed to their lot. + +Three miles from Fort Davis Station, on the Georgia and Alabama +Railroad, and forty miles from Montgomery, is our Cotton Valley +School, which is located in the heart of the Black Belt of Alabama. +This country school is the one bright spot in the lives of the +large population of poor black people of Cotton Valley. It is in +charge of four young women, graduates of Fisk University--Miss +Carrie Alexander, Principal, and Misses Pearl Binford, Lelia Haynie +and Lizzie B. Moore. Besides the school work, the teachers visit the +people in their cabin homes, hold mothers' meetings, Sunday-school, +Christian Endeavor and Junior Endeavor meetings, sewing classes, a +literary society and singing-school. It is a veritable social +settlement. The people look to these young women for advice, +medicine and help in all kinds of ways. They have won the love and +confidence of the people, and gladly help them in all ways. The +school is under the management of the American Missionary +Association, and is supported by the Woman's Missionary Union of +Massachusetts. The school is located in a most needy field for +mission work. A teachers' home is greatly needed. The teachers +occupy the log cabin home built by the first missionary teacher, +Mrs. Lillian V. Courtney, _nee_ Davis. This cabin home has done good +service; but a larger home is needed for the teachers, with +facilities for industrial training for girls. + + * * * * * + +BITS OF EXPERIENCE IN THE INDIAN COUNTRY. + +MISS M. P. LORD. + + +Little-Dog was very sick, they said. We thought of the beautiful +two-year-old boy whom he had loved with all a father's tenderness, +and of the day when he had come and told us of the child's death; +and how his eyes were still inflamed with weeping; and how grateful +he was for the little food, and for the words of comfort we had +tried to give him. + +His home was ten or fifteen miles up the winding river, with two +fording-places between. We found at the first a broad, swift stream, +swollen by a recent rain. We were glad we had made preparations +before starting in, for the water flowed six inches deep over the +buggy floor. At the village beyond, Cross-Bear advised us to return +by another road, as the river was still rising. Long-Feather, with +whose family we also stopped to shake hands, gave the same advice, +saying that he would see us safely over the next crossing, but that +he was just starting on a long drive in the opposite direction. +Good-Boy, who lived near the fording-place, would help, he said. So, +following directions, Good-Boy was found. His pony was quickly +saddled, and galloping on ahead he piloted us not only to the +river-crossing, but all the way to Little Dog's, some miles beyond. + +Mrs. Little-Dog and ten-year-old Martin greeted us at the door, and +inside the house we were cordially welcomed by the blind and almost +helpless sufferer. The wife said, "I wanted to go and get medicine +for him, but there was no one to take care of him while I was gone." +They were miles from the nearest neighbor. And the sick man added, +"I didn't like to have our little boy go so far alone." When the +physical pain and needs were relieved so far as possible, I asked if +there was a Bible. In answer the sick man turned and reached under +the pillow at the farther corner of the bed, from which he drew out +a little bag, and from that he carefully--almost tenderly, it +seemed--took his Dakota Bible and handed me. Such times of drawing +near to God, in the homes of sick or sorrowing ones, mean quite as +much of added strength and cheer to the white visitor as to those +who are visited, and we always come away feeling so glad that we +went. Tears were in the woman's eyes as the good-byes were said; and +the little boy, with his pony saddled, watched us out of sight, to +be sure that we were started on the right road home, as we had been +directed. + +On another day we heard that our good old friend +Afraid-of-the-Clouds had been thrown from his wagon and badly hurt. +We found the tall figure, which we had always been accustomed to see +so erect and soldierly in bearing, stretched on the ground in his +tent, silent and motionless. With evident pain and effort the dear +old man tried to explain how it happened. He did not complain and +spoke very gently, but the expression of suffering on the wrinkled +face made me fear he would never get up again, and my own sorrow at +the thought was hard to conceal. He was only (?) an "old Indian," +one of those "old Indians" who are often so lightly spoken of as of +no account; but whose dignity and strength of character, and gentle, +gracious courtesy, command the respect of those who really know +them. And he had been a loyal friend and faithful helper in the +years that we had been neighbors. And though he still clung to his +old faith, he seemed as grateful for the reading of God's Word and +prayer as for the material help we tried to give. + +Time passed, and by-and-by he was up and about again, and wanted to +be given some work to do. One day he came into the house and seated +himself in the deliberate way which told that he had something on +his mind, which would demand my undivided attention, and said: "You +are a white woman. I am a Dakota. But when I was sick your heart was +sad. I hold it in my heart." That was all; that and the silent +hand-grasp as he went out. But somehow I felt as if what the old man +felt in his heart was very secure there. + +One bright Sabbath morning, with our deacon, One-Thunder, we visited +a neighboring church eight or ten miles up the river. The regular +native teacher was away, attending the great annual mission meeting; +but two other young men had been appointed to take charge of the +service together--Anselm Kill-the-Crow and Clinton High-Horse. The +latter took for his text, "Ye are the salt of the earth." Retaining +the figurative form of the verse, the young preacher made clear its +spiritual teaching, and by his direct and forceful application +revealed the thoughtfulness and earnestness of his own heart. The +remarks of the other alluded to the name chosen for the little +church. "The Church of the Messiah;" and he urged upon those present +that it be not in name only, but in deed and in truth, _His_ church. +The after-service greetings to the visitors were cordial, as +usual--even the babies being encouraged to hold out tiny brown +hands, with their mothers' injunctions to "nape yuza" (shake hands). + +Hole-in-his-Tooth, who is always eager to take orders during the +plum season, consented to postpone business transactions until the +next day. The Woman's Missionary Society had five dollars to hand +over, to be forwarded to the "Wotanin Waste;" that is, far +missionary work. Everybody seemed wide awake and happy; and as we +drove away, the Y. M. C. A. were about to hold their services. + +Next to their interest in church affairs, is that in the school; for +since the Grand River (Government) Boarding School has demonstrated +in their midst what faithful teachers can do for the children, the +whole community are ready to show their appreciation, from good old +Chief Grindstone to the wee little folk who carry flowers to their +white friends in the school; and every little circle of influence +widens. + +The blizzard was fiercely raging outside, lashing the little house +in its fury. I had given up trying to warm more than one room, and +that was darkened by the snow piled against the windows, and the +panes above were so thick with frost that nothing could be seen. + +The storm was so severe--so bitterly cold, with blinding snow and +wind--that I thought no one could possibly get out with safety to +come that day; when, to my surprise, there was a knock at the door, +and there was Maza--faithful Maza--smiling as usual, through the +frost and snow. + +Glad, as well as surprised, I was to see him. "They told me not to +come," he said. "They said I would get lost or freeze to death; +but," he added, "I told them I was coming." So the big drift was +tunneled to the stable door, horses fed and watered, and all needed +help given. + +By these little homely incidents I have only tried to introduce a +few of the many friends on the Reservation, of whom it is sometimes +asked, "Can Indians ever be really civilized?" "Do you see any real +results?" "Do you find them very treacherous?" + + * * * * * + +Department of Christian Endeavor. + + * * * * * + +CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS OF A HIGHLAND SCHOOL AND VILLAGE. + + +[Illustration: CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH, WILLIAMSBURG, KY.] + +Miss Ella M. Andrews, one of the teachers at Williamsburg Academy, +which is one of the interesting schools among our American +Highlanders, has been an efficient leader in the Christian Endeavor +movement in that school and village. She writes under recent date of +the Senior Endeavor Society, as follows: + +"The Y. P. S. C. E. of Main Street Congregational Church of +Williamsburg, Ky., was organized in 1887 with about a dozen charter +members. From this beginning has grown our present flourishing +society of about fifty members, many of whom are our students. The +good it has done these young people cannot be estimated. Many of the +students organize C. E. societies in their home towns and in the +places where they teach. The Tri-State Union was organized in 1893. +The organization was made for the purpose of promoting the C. E. +work in the adjacent counties of Kentucky, Virginia and Tennessee. +By bringing together the members of the societies in this section, +much has been accomplished in the way of strengthening the weak +societies and in the way of organizing and sustaining societies in +places where none existed. All societies in the Union have been +stimulated by its annual conventions." + +The Junior Endeavorers in this field are under the especial care of +Miss M. A. Packard, also a teacher in this academy. Under her wise +supervision the Juniors have done much interesting and valuable +work. She writes as follows: + +"The Junior Endeavor Society, a company of 76 bright, happy boys and +girls, representing two departments (the active members and the +trial members), is under the direction of the superintendent and two +assistants. The meetings are held every Sunday afternoon, led by one +of the members. We use the 'Junior Endeavor Songs,' and the Juniors' +voices are tuned to sing praise to Him who took little children in +His arms and blessed them. It is an inspiration to attend the +meetings, to hear the recital of the Pledge, the reading of the +Scripture verses and the precious season of prayer, when, with bowed +head, sentence prayers are offered, often two and three at a time. +During the past year the growth of the society has been marked, in +the Juniors learning to pray--God seems so near. Many precious +petitions have been made for self and others. + +[Illustration: A MOUNTAIN HOME.] + +"The Juniors are enthusiastic in bringing in their pennies, many +earning them. They purchase all their literature. Last April they +were very happy to donate to the church the sum of $12.34, the +result of an entertainment given by them ('The Junior Endeavor +Garden'). + +"This year we have taken up the prison work; sending the pennies to +purchase Testaments, and writing letters to the prisoners. Services +are held at the jail, and at the homes of the aged and sick, the +Juniors taking an active part. + +"Thanksgiving Day, nineteen homes were gladdened by baskets of +eatables, carried by the Juniors, and other gifts. At Christmas many +hearts are made happy by their kind remembrances. During the last +three years twelve have graduated. All are active members in senior +societies. The trial department is under the direction of the +assistants, who are graduates. The society is most promising. The +Juniors are preparing not only to take places in the senior society, +but in the church and as citizens." + + * * * * * + +Obituaries. + + * * * * * + +MRS. MARY T. CHASE. + + +Mrs. Mary Tuttle Chase, wife of Prof. T. N. Chase, of Atlanta +University, Atlanta, Georgia, died in the home of her daughter, Mrs. +Dr. Kirkland, Bellows Falls, Vermont, Friday, March 23d. Funeral +services were held in the church in which she worshiped in her +childhood in Acton, Mass. The president of the University, together +with the pastors of this church conducted the service. Some +graduates of Atlanta University sang some of the pathetic old negro +hymns. Mrs. Chase came of heroic New England stock. She was +graduated at Abbott Academy, Andover, Mass., and at once entered +upon the work of teaching. She was married to Prof. Chase in 1862. +Two years later they went to Washington, D. C. In 1869, with her +husband, she went to Atlanta, Georgia, and entered upon the great +work of her life in Atlanta University. + +Mrs. Chase was a ready and able writer, and frequently contributed +articles to the AMERICAN MISSIONARY magazine. Her heart was quick in +its sympathies for those who were depressed and needy, and the +heroic courage of her ancestors ran in her veins. She was always +ready to defend the weak. She loved the work, and sought earnestly +the interests of the people to whom she gave the larger service of +her life. Her loss will be sorely felt in the ranks of faithful +Christian workers, of whom she was one. A large circle of friends +sympathize with Prof. Chase and the family in this hour of their +bereavement. + + * * * * * + +MISS SUSIE T. CATHCART. + + +Word has just come as we go to press that Miss Susie T. Cathcart +passed away at King's Mountain, N. C., on Monday morning, April 9th. +Miss Cathcart has been a teacher at Lincoln Academy, of which her +sister is principal, for several years. At the beginning of this +year her health was so delicate that she did not feel that she could +accept reappointment. She still hoped to be strong again, however, +and looked forward to future service among the people whom she so +sincerely loved. Her work has been always distinguished by ability +and great personal sacrifice, and almost an abandon of devotion to +those to whom she ministered. Even in her sickness she did not for a +moment forget them. Her sister, Miss Lillian Cathcart, Principal of +Lincoln Academy, writes of her as follows: "In her sickness she has +been very patient, never other than cheerful, and always trying to +spare others any unnecessary work. She has been able to take an +interest in what was going on almost all the time, and to send out +messages and to pray for the scholars." And so another earnest and +devoted life has gone out from earth, but its influence will +continue and cannot be measured by the passing years. + + * * * * * + +A SUGGESTIVE SUBSCRIPTION. + + +THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY received a subscription the other day which +illustrates several things. The subscription read as follows: "Mr. +Frederick Raeder, Jurjev--Dorpat--Livonia, Russia." This illustrates +the wide circulation of a journal especially devoted to home +missions. Not a numerous foreign subscription list does it enjoy, +but at least one copy reaches this remote region. Another thing +illustrated is the close connection between the home and foreign +fields of missions. A few years ago the Indians and Alaskans were +counted in the foreign missionary field. Now the American Missionary +Association conducts work in these fields. Porto Rico has just come +into the responsibility of our home work. And so in the progress of +these great missionary movements the emphasis is increasingly upon +_missions_, and not upon any artificial distinctions. It is the +coming of the Kingdom of God which the providences make important. + + * * * * * + +If any reader of the AMERICAN MISSIONARY has a copy of the Annual +Report of the American Missionary Association for 1849, he will +confer a favor by dropping a note to the editor of this magazine. +This volume is desired for one of our theological libraries. + + * * * * * + +RECEIPTS FOR JANUARY, 1900. + + * * * * * + +THE DANIEL HAND EDUCATIONAL FUND + +For Colored People. + + Income for January $10,013.75 + Previously acknowledged 14,431.66 + ----------- + $24,445.41 + =========== + +NOTE.--Where no name follows that of the town, the contribution is +from the church and society of that place.

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.

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. |
