Are we ready for it, ready to work and to win? The +harvest is still plenteous and every increase of store is precious. +Who can measure such privilege? And what of opportunities? The +swift-winged events of our civilization are continually hurrying us +into the midst of them. It is a day of speedy rewards. Christ comes +quickly in these times. The business of the Church is helped as +absolutely as secular business by the development and use of material +agencies for advancement. What is wanted is the good seed of the +word. It is that—the light which shines forth from <i>that</i>—which +gives life and growth and masterly power. We want faith in the +promises. It shall be said, "The kingdoms of this world are become +the kingdoms of our Lord and His Christ." The truth of it is not to +be doubted or eclipsed. We want power from on high, and that is +neither distant nor subject to unseasonable delay. What the year +shall be is for us, under God, to determine. Let us labor and pray +that the word of promise—the divine imbuement—may make rich and +fruitful, and place the great religious interests of our land on the +foundation of God which standeth sure.</p> + +<hr class="quarter" /> + +<p>We devote considerable space in this number of the <i>Missionary</i> to +the papers and reports presented at the Woman's Meeting held in +connection with our Annual Meeting in Brooklyn. The topics considered +related to the wide range of work conducted by this Association. They +were treated by persons having much experience in our mission fields, +and will be welcomed not only as interesting reading, but as +furnishing authoritative data for the encouragement of the friends of +our work. The constitution proposed at the meeting, for Women's +co-operative societies is given, and is commended to the attention of +those ladies who desire to aid mission work in our own country.</p> +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_2" id="Page_2">[Pg 2]</a></span></p> +<p>The valuable Paper on "Woman's Work in Modern Charity and Missions," +read by Rev.

The committee on the part of the A. H. +M. S. consisted of Rev. J. E. Twitchell, D.D., Rev. Lyman Abbott, +D.D., Rev. Geo. L. Walker, D.D., Rev. C. L. Goodell, D.D., and A. S. +Barnes, Esq. The Committee on the part of the A. M. A. consisted of +Rev. J. L. Withrow, D.D., Rev. Washington Gladden, D.D., Rev. D. O. +Mears, D.D., Prest. S. C. Bartlett, and Rev. W. H. Ward, D.D. All +were present except Dr. Goodell, and his place was filled by Mr. S. +B. Capen. A letter from Dr. Goodell was read. Dr. Barrows, +representing the Home Missionary Society, and Dr. Strieby, +representing the American Missionary Association, were also present +by invitation.</p> + +<p>It was manifest that the members of the Committee were equally +friends of both societies and sought only their greatest efficiency. +No partisan feeling found utterance. The members of the Committee are +men of independent views and judgment, and examined the subject +before them from different standpoints, and yet reached in the paper +presented below a remarkable degree of unanimity—every item +receiving a unanimous vote. The result will command and deserves the +attention of the churches. The following is</p> + +<div class="center">THE ACTION OF THE COMMITTEE.</div> + +<p>Consulting the principle of comity between the two societies—the A. +H. M. S. and the A. M. A.—and that traditional policy of +Congregationalists which ignores caste and color lines, and also in +view of the present relative position and strength of the two +societies, we, the Joint Committee, give as our judgment:</p> +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_3" id="Page_3">[Pg 3]</a></span></p> +<p>1. That, as heretofore, the principal work of the American Home +Missionary Society should be in the West, and the principal work of +the American Missionary Association should be in the South.</p> + +<p>2. Whatever new work may be called for in any locality should be +under the charge of the society already occupying the ground. No +exception to this rule should be allowed unless it be by agreement +between the two societies.</p> + +<p>3. Concerning work already established by either society, we would +recommend that if either comity, economy or efficiency will be +advanced by it, such a transfer of the work should be made as shall +bring the work of the societies into harmony with the preceding +recommendations.</p> + +<p>4. We would recommend to the two societies to consider the +practicability of using a common superintendent in those portions of +the field where an economical and efficient administration will be +secured by it.</p> + +<hr class="section" /> + +<h3>ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS A DAY.</h3> + + +<p>What can be done with it? We can sustain efficiently our current work +of educating teachers and preachers and the planting of churches. In +the progress of development, more requires more. If the Association +did not need increased receipts it would be evidence of lack of +growth. There is no such lack. New demands are springing up at every +point, and it is wise economy to meet these demands. They are simply +the healthy development of legitimate missionary work.</p> + +<p>Just now there is urgent demand for the increase of facilities for +promoting industrial education. The South is arising into a new life. +New fields of labor are rapidly opening. Skilled workmen are wanted. +The possibilities of agricultural prosperity are becoming better +understood. The aspiring youth of both sexes are comprehending their +opportunities, and the industrial departments in connection with our +institutions are patronized as never before. We ought to make the +most of them now.</p> + +<p>We need more means for supplying the minds of those hungering for +knowledge with good reading. The colored people have few, if any, +books or periodicals. We ought to have the means at once for +furnishing fifty libraries and reading-rooms at as many different +points. Such help to those willing to help themselves to some extent +should be provided.</p> + +<p>The students leaving our schools to go forth as teachers may be +numbered by thousands. These explore the dark places of the land. +They open schools in such buildings as can be found, or, finding +none, teach out of doors. We need means to aid many such with +supplemental support, making it possible for them to continue their +schools longer than<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_4" id="Page_4">[Pg 4]</a></span> the few months provided for by the limited State +appropriations. Thousands of dollars could be used wisely in this +way. The opportunity now for temperance work is more promising than +ever. A temperance wave has been sweeping some portions of the South. +Our students are thoroughly indoctrinated in the principles of total +abstinence. They make the best advocates of the cause that can be had +for many localities. It is a crucial period. The time to do this work +is now—now, while the great questions at issue are being agitated +and settled. We ought to have means for extending our efforts to the +utmost in this direction.</p> + +<p>Of more importance still is evangelistic work, supplemental to the +labors of our pastors. This is coming into more than usual +prominence. Our students have had thorough training for it, and no +little experience in it during their course of study. A score of them +in every Southern State could be set to work with profit, if we had +the money for such outlay. Nothing could do more for immediate +results in developing a pure Christianity among the untaught and +unsaved poor of the South.</p> + +<p>We might also, with a thousand dollars a day, do more than we have +ever done to foster the growth of right and permanent institutions in +all our fields of labor. This is the great and urgent necessity. Out +of Christian churches and schools will flow all the benefits demanded +by a Christian civilization. For this especially we emphasize our +appeal. To what better use can the Christians and patriots of our +country devote a thousand dollars a day?</p> + +<hr class="quarter" /> + +<p>A friend, noting the annual average addition of churches as five or +six, raised the question whether the time had not come for doubling +that rate. The Association is glad to recognize this worthy +aspiration and itself to avow the spirit of it, and still further to +remind the friends that the disposition of leaders on the field to +magnify the work of each year is also in the same line. Nevertheless, +we find that those who become in some sense responsible for the +nurture and support of these ecclesiastical children born to us +become conservative instead of becoming rash, as is sometimes +averred. Yet we are able to give assurance that the Field +Superintendent and his associates, with their eyes upon the whole +field, watching the germs and their unfolding, are only anxious to +set out these plants of the Lord's house as fast as is at all +consistent. We also see, in no far-away future, a large church work +for us as the fruitage of our school work.</p> + +<hr class="quarter" /> + +<p>A prize of $75 is given annually to the best male Greek scholar in +the High School at Newport, R. I. The best examination this year was +by the daughter of George Rice, the colored steward of the steamer +Pilgrim. As she was not eligible to the award a gentleman from New +York sent her $75 in gold.</p> +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_5" id="Page_5">[Pg 5]</a></span></p> +<hr class="section" /> + +<h3>WANTED!</h3> + + +<p>—We greatly need a new school building, for the lower grades at +Tougaloo University, a two-story building with school rooms below and +a chapel above.

A. L. RIGGS.</div> + + +<p>To describe an Indian woman is no easy task for one who lives among +them, for every peculiarity becomes so familiar, and so interwoven +with our common everyday experience, that we forget how strange and +unlike white women she appeared to us at first. But she is a woman, +even though she wears her shawl over her head and carries her baby on +her back.</p> + +<p>How uninteresting, you must think, and she probably thinks the same +of you. She does not know that you care for her. She feels that she +is different in some way, and most likely if you smile upon her she +will not know it, for she is too modest even to look at you; but +speak to her in a pleasant tone and offer to shake hands with her and +notice her baby, and she begins to think that <i>you</i> are a woman. In +her no trace of dignity nor Pocahontas beauty are discernible, but +she is untidy in person and attire, her movements are decidedly +lackadaisical. An uninteresting object, indeed, to one who does not +care to help her. But <i>we</i> believe that she has a woman's heart; and +more than that—she has a soul.</p> + +<p>Her aspirations for herself are limited, but she wants her child to +grow up in the white people's way. Yet how small her conception of +how this is to be accomplished!</p> + +<p>She is a heathen—hemmed in on every side by fear and superstition. +Her gods are gods of fear. She believes in witchcraft, is afraid of a +world full of evil spirits. Under a pagan religion her place is next +to the mere animals. She goes with her husband to the hunt, not as a +companion, but as the drudge, the human pack-horse; she prepares the +food, and her husband devours it regardless of her needs; he may +boast of his "old woman" as being "nina mimi heca" (swift or good to +work) for that is the only accomplishment required in his selfish, +egotistical mind. "The Indian woman comes into the world under a +species of protest—every Indian parent desiring to have boys, rather +than girls, hence she grows up into a condition of servitude." "In +the Indian nation to purchase a wife is the honorable way, all other +ways are dishonorable, and the man having bought his wife, although +the custom of the country does not allow him to dispose of her to +another, yet he may put her away, or leave her, at his pleasure. He +may also whip her and beat her, for she is his money." I never shall +forget one poor woman who came to me soon after we went to the Indian +country. She showed me her back covered with the marks where her +husband had beaten her.</p> + +<p>Now I have given you a brief description of the Indian woman <i>as we +find her</i>. What can be done for her? What would <i>you</i> do for her? +There is only one thing. <i>Help her to become a Christian.</i> This is +not to be accomplished in a hurry, for she is in bondage to her +husband—to her religion. But faith and prayer, together with a +genuine interest in the Indian home, can accomplish much. Desolate +and comfortless though that home may be, it can be transformed, and +the husband even can be made to see that there is something more +real, something that is more satisfying, something that is more +comforting than this life of fear and bondage to his heathen gods. +"The man has more to give up than the woman<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_10" id="Page_10">[Pg 10]</a></span> if he becomes a +Christian. If a woman changes her gods and her religion, no one cares +very much; it is 'only a woman.' But a man must abandon his ancestral +faith, which binds him more strongly than the woman, for the very +reason that he is a man, and has been inducted into manhood through +the ceremonies of his religion."</p> + +<p>He can be led to see that his wife is worth more to him than his +horse or his dog; and he begins to see that he can do some of the +work which she has been obliged to do, and thus she is enabled to +make home more attractive. With the dawn of Christianity comes the +first effort toward civilized ways. The husband now brings the wood +and water, and little by little a few household conveniences appear, +such as chairs, a table, a few dishes; also knives and forks are used +instead of fingers; even lambrequins are sometimes seen—hung, +however, in the most absurd way, outside the shades—and we are +astonished to see in some of the houses white counterpanes and +ruffled pillow-shams. Also a U. S. T. D. blanket is often spread down +for a carpet, and the rude, rough walls are covered with pictures cut +from illustrated newspapers.</p> + +<p>We find them ready and anxious to be taught many simple and needful +domestic arts, such as making light bread and preparing wholesome +dishes of food for the sick. The teaching of making light bread +became quite an important part of my duties as a missionary's wife, +and for the Indian women to take lessons in bread-making became quite +fashionable.</p> + +<p>Then she shows a desire to dress like white women, and instead of the +broadcloth skirt tied around her waist with a string and the short +calico sack, and moccasins upon her feet, she appears with a kilt +plaiting around her dress skirt, and, what probably in her mind is an +improvement upon white woman's taste, the plaiting is headed with two +or three rows of bright worsted skirt braid. As she admires the thin +and lightly covered head of the white baby, she closely clips her own +baby's hair so as to have it as nearly like a white baby as possible. +But all this is the mere outside of life—one benefit which +Christianity brings to her personally. She begins to show that she +has become a missionary at heart and that she has a desire to send +this great blessing which has wrought such a change in her home into +other homes; and as others like herself, near at hand, have been +treasuring up the blessed words of the Lord Jesus, "Go ye and preach +my gospel," they begin to think that they can do something to send +the good tidings to those who are in the darkness which so recently +surrounded themselves.</p> + +<p>Now, in the Dakota mission, we have thirteen churches, and in every +one a woman's missionary society, and the money raised is used to +support native missionaries—that is, Christian Indians are sent out +among the heathen Indians as missionaries, and are supported by +Indian societies. The Indian woman's society is conducted very much +like any sewing society among white women. Some woman is appointed to +lead the devotional exercises, and we have our officers appointed +annually. They make children's clothing after the white woman's +fashion, and many useful articles similar to those usually made in +sewing societies. Those women who are able make articles after their +own styles, such as moccasins, pretty bags handsomely ornamented with +porcupine, bead or ribbon work. These articles are gifts to the +society, and we have no difficulty in disposing of them to those who +wish specimens of Indian woman's skill in fancy work, or who may wish +to help this native missionary work which is being so nobly carried +on. Some of these women are really wonderful in their zeal and +faithfulness, walking six, seven, or eight miles to the meeting every +week. I could tell you many things about these faithful Christian +Indian women, but do you wish any better proof of the hold +Christianity has upon Indians?</p> +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_11" id="Page_11">[Pg 11]</a></span></p> +<p>As I said before, an Indian woman's aspirations for herself are +limited, but she wants her child to grow up in the white people's +way. Now, if we are to elevate the Indian nation, let us plant in the +homes the desire for the Gospel, and as we do it gather the children +as fast as they are old enough to leave their mother's care into +Christian training schools. Now out in the Indian country we are all +the time carrying on missionary work in the homes, planting schools, +organizing churches, and sending out native missionaries.</p> + +<p>We have at Santee Agency, Neb., a large school of advanced grade, +well established for the education of children and youth. So well +known is this school among Christian Indians that our accommodations +have become very limited, and last year we were obliged to refuse +many who wished to come. I think you cannot know how hard it is for +us to say, We cannot take you.</p> + +<p>The great Dakota nation is ready to receive the Christian religion. +We have the Bible in the Dakota language—a monument grand and +beautiful to one who has just gone to his reward. Years of patient, +quiet toil were spent in translating the precious words from the +Greek and the Hebrew into the language of over fifty thousand +savages. Then what hinders the work? We have hymns in the Dakota +tongue. Who will go and sing these precious words to those who never +heard them? There are those who are ready to go, but where is the +money to send them? If you cannot go, what hinders you from sending +some one? To be sure, this is a work of difficulty, for how can we +expect a few years of training to so revolutionize a savage's live +that he can withstand the heathenism which still permeates his native +home? But we have those whom we can trust, and who are filling places +of responsibility and usefulness. Besides those who have gone out as +missionaries and teachers, we have in our school at Santee native +teachers, and our own children are taught by them. One of our pupils +is assistant matron in the Dakota Home. One who has been under our +care is in the little city of Pierre, D. T., giving music lessons to +white pupils. I give only a few instances, to show that we are +beginning to see the results of our work.</p> + +<p>Then give the free Gospel of the love of Christ to this great heathen +nation right here so near us. Here is the Bible, here are the hymns; +who will provide the means to scatter them, and who will go to carry +them? We are preparing those who will go with you as assistants and +interpreters. We hear of those who wish to get rid of the Indians; +the surest way to do it is to educate them and Christianize them.</p> + +<hr class="section" /> + +<h3>THE CHINESE.</h3> + +<div class="center">EXTRACT FROM ADDRESS OF MRS. W. C. POND.</div> + + +<p>I will not waste time upon an introduction. I will only say that I am +glad to be among you; glad that you are interested in the Chinese +work, with which we have been connected so many years in California. +We feel that we are greatly privileged in having these dark souls +within our reach. We can obey our Saviour's last command, "Disciple +all nations," without having to go far from our homes and native +land. They are with us and we have but to open our hearts and our +churches to them and they will come in. They <i>are</i> coming in; not in +large numbers but one by one. In the church of which my husband has +been the pastor for nearly ten years there are over seventy Chinese +members—about one-third of our whole membership.</p> + +<p>Many inquire how Chinese converts are tested. They join the Christian +Association on probation and after a test of six or eight months are +recommended to<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_12" id="Page_12">[Pg 12]</a></span> the church. Then they come before a committee of the +church and are examined, and after studying the articles of faith, in +their own language, for several weeks they are propounded for church +membership, and if they prove satisfactory are baptized and come into +full fellowship with the church. They are not hurried into the church +and are themselves timid and prefer to wait.</p> + +<p>We have no work among the Chinese women that we can call our own. +Both Presbyterians and Methodists have such a work in San Francisco, +and it divides into very little sections what can be at best but a +small work, because there are only three or four hundred Chinese +women in San Francisco, and not a tenth of these accessible. But if +means would allow we would be glad to attempt a work among the women +at Sacramento, where nothing is done for them. With our very limited +resources we can save more by working among the thousands of men and +boys.</p> + +<p>But we have much work <i>by women</i> of whom I would like to make +mention. Patient and heroic, prayerful and soul-saving have been +their efforts among the Chinese. I would like to tell you of one who +has recently gone to her reward. Before leaving my home two months +ago I called upon her and found her strength failing. But she was +hopeful respecting her recovery, and the strongest incentive she had +to get well was that she might have more opportunities to tell the +story of Jesus to her boys, as she called those in the Chinese +school. And when death came to her, six Chinese acted as pall-bearers +at her funeral, at her own request. The church was more than half +filled with Chinese, and the scene was touching in the extreme, as +one by one they went to look upon her face for the last time.</p> + +<p>You are all, doubtless, more or less familiar with the <i>American +Missionary</i>, and read from time to time Mr. Pond's reports found +therein. I will give a few statistics quoted from my husband's +report, read recently before the General Association of California, +convened in Santa Cruz. They are as follows:</p> + +<p>Nineteen schools, as against 15 the last year; total enrollment of +scholars, 2,823, as against 2,567 the former year; 40 teachers, of +whom 14 were Chinese, as against 31 teachers the previous year, of +whom 11 were Chinese; number of those who have professed to cease +from idolatry, 175, as against 156 the year before; number of those +who have given evidence of conversion, 121, as against 106 the former +year, and the whole number of those who have turned to Christ during +the history of the Mission, 400, who are scattered over the United +States and in China. We hear of many of them who are doing good work +for the Master and for the salvation of their countrymen.</p> + +<p>Toward the expense of the Mission during the past year the Chinese +themselves have contributed $730.05.</p> + +<p>I would like to have you remember the name of our church. It is +"Bethany." Remember us in your prayers, for God has laid a great work +upon us. We started in much weakness, but God has been with us and +blessed us. We have felt His presence in our Bethany as Martha and +Mary of old did in theirs. We have heard the Master's voice saying +unto us frequently, "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the +least of these, My brethren, ye have done it unto Me."</p> + +<hr class="section" /> + +<h3>MOUNTAIN WHITE WORK IN KENTUCKY.</h3> + +<div class="center">BY MRS. A. A. MYERS.</div> + + +<p>There is an unnoticed class of people dwelling almost in the very +centre of the settled portion of the United States. "Our brother in +black" has been held up to the view of two continents for the last +fifty years. And what is America going to<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_13" id="Page_13">[Pg 13]</a></span> do with him and for him, +has been a question which has interested the whole civilized world. +This same question for a still longer time has been propounded in +regard to the red man of the forest, and in later years concerning +the Chinese. And right nobly has the Christian brotherhood evidenced +its purpose to make men of these degraded classes. But until recently +it has escaped the notice of these Christian workers that we have +another class as needy perhaps as any. No spice of romance is +connected with them. No barbarous tale of cruelty could be told to +awaken sympathy in them. They are simply poor people, who during +slavery were unable to obtain large plantations and so were driven by +the arrogant Bluegrass slaveholder on the one side, and the greedy +cotton-planter on the other, back into the mountains, where they are +shut away from the rest of the world by mountain barriers, and still +more hopelessly by the haughty caste spirit of the slave-holding +monarchs, who disdain to have anything to do with them except to seek +their votes.</p> + +<p>These people are not really poor. Most of them own farms of three or +four hundred acres; and the soil, if properly tilled, would be quite +productive. Their plowing is done in the most primitive manner. A +single horse attached to a little shovel plow simply tears the sod a +little, enough so the weeds spring up luxuriantly, and the women and +children must work hard in the hot sun to destroy them, while the +lord of the home saddles his horse and rides to town, to sit on store +boxes and tell low stories. This people, especially the male portion, +seem to have a natural distaste for labor. They would be aristocratic +if they could. In days of slavery they had their household servants, +and tried to imitate the more wealthy slave-owners by living in +idleness, and they still look upon labor as degrading.</p> + +<p>They make no effort to get themselves homes. The large majority live +in log cabins, with no windows. The doors stand open winter and +summer. The women in cool weather always sit with a little shawl +around them and a sunbonnet on.</p> + +<p>There are generally two rooms to each house, usually with a chimney +or open hall between them, so you have to go out of doors to pass +from one to the other. In the kitchen (which also serves as +dining-room) is a large fireplace and a cook stove, if they are the +happy possessors of one.</p> + +<p>The other is the sitting and sleeping-room. You will often see three +beds and one or two trundle-beds in a single room. Here the whole +family and all the visitors sleep. We have sought to rest with +thirteen of us in a room, perhaps 15 by 20 feet, and not a window in +it and the doors shut. Fortunately the large-mouthed fireplace gave a +pittance of ventilation. No carpets are used, and furniture is very +limited. I believe nine-tenths of the people could put all their +goods on a couple of loads and be ready to move at an hour's notice.</p> + +<p>Families are large, numbering twelve, fifteen or even nineteen +children. Girls marry young, and seem to be entirely satisfied with +their condition. You seldom hear a desire expressed for anything they +don't possess. Give them a box of snuff and a stick to chew it with +and you never hear a murmur escape their lips. Tobacco is +indispensable. Old and young, male and female, are wedded to it. I +have known of an old gentleman working all day for fifty cents and +spending forty cents at night for tobacco for himself and wife and +nine children.</p> + +<p>They seem to be without a standard in the land. They live so +isolated, and have measured themselves by themselves until they have +lost all idea of accurate judgment. Morality and sobriety are hardly +looked for, even among church members and ministers. "Religion may be +up to fever heat, while morality is down to zero." People "confess," +as they call it, and join the church, and in their entire life +thereafter you could never know any difference.</p> +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_14" id="Page_14">[Pg 14]</a></span></p> +<p>They are satisfied if their names are on the church book. I don't +think they ever question their eternal salvation after they are once +inside a church. If a person dies without having joined a church his +friends frame some theory on which they rest their hope of his +salvation. A young man was shot a little while ago in a drunken +broil. As he fell mortally wounded he cried, "Oh, Lord!" His mother +is sure he is safe because he called on the Lord. They have no +conception of <i>living</i> religion. They have no prayer or conference +meetings. Aside from our own I doubt if there is a prayer meeting +nearer than Berea, seventy miles away. There is no family prayer in +all the land. I asked my class of boys, twenty or more in number, how +many had ever heard their mothers' voice in prayer. Not one of them +could raise a hand. At another school I asked a still larger class +the same question, and only one girl raised her hand. There is no +gathering of the little home nestlings together and instructing +them—no Bible instruction given in the family. It has ceased to be a +wonder to me, to ask nearly grown boys some of the most simple Bible +questions, and hear them answer, "I don't know."</p> + +<p>An M. E. minister in one of his pastoral visits took occasion to +dwell with some stress on the blessedness of <i>walking in the light</i>. +The mother showed how she literalized by promptly remarking, "Yes; +I've told John I wanted a hole sawed in this end of the house, but he +won't do it." During the same call he asked a young lady if she was +preparing to go to judgment. She replied, "No, I reckin I won't go. +If I do I'll have to walk, for we hain't got but two nags, and Rachel +and Becky always ride them."</p> + +<p>The prevailing churches are the Reform or Campbellites, the +Methodists, and the Missionary and Anti-Missionary Baptists. The +latter church is strong all through the mountains. They are bigoted +and ignorant, and boast that their knowledge comes direct from the +throne, and they have nothing to do with man-made theories, as they +call education. Their preaching is a sort of canting reiteration of +the text and what few Scripture verses they chance to know and some +hackneyed expressions. They are great on arguing, and it would be +laughable if it was not so pitiful to hear the profound questions +they discuss. Last season one of these preachers nearly broke up one +of our mission Sunday-Schools, which we could attend only each +alternate Sabbath. In the passage that reads "And anon they tell +Him," he contended that A-non was an angel, and <i>they</i> referred to +the angel A-non. Each Sunday when we were not there that important +question had to be discussed.</p> + +<p>One of these same preachers took his children from school because +they were taught the heresy in geography that the world is round. +They do all they can to prejudice the people against our work. They +call our religion railroad religion. They are great barriers in our +way. Still we have been cheered this year to see that their hold on +the young people is loosening, and we are getting their hearts in +spite of the protests of their parents. One of our mission +Sunday-Schools, which has averaged this season one hundred, is +composed almost entirely of young people and children, seldom ever a +parent there.</p> + +<p>The Smith American Organ Co. have honored God and themselves, and +will ever be held by some hearts in grateful remembrance by their +gift to that society of a new organ. I have some times thought, as I +have heard the young voices ring out with such enthusiasm, that, +though critics might smile at our endeavor, Heaven would not disdain +our offering of praise. The dingy low walls, the glass-less windows, +the tobacco besmeared floor, become transformed to a holy temple, +where God deigned to make visible His presence, and it has been a +sacred place. Our hope of this people centres largely in the young. +If it were not for them, we could not feel it right to stay among +them.</p> +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_15" id="Page_15">[Pg 15]</a></span></p> +<p>Another barrier to be overcome is their habits of worship. They have +meetings but once a month during the summer and none at all during +the winter. When they have service it is more for a visit than +worship. Their churches are rough log houses, and so small that the +greater part of the congregation remain out of doors. Four or more +ministers are always in attendance, and all must preach. The +congregation expect a tiresome time, and from the first are restless. +They go out and come in, and they keep a constant march to and from +the water pail, which usually sits on the desk in front of the +speaker. Several grown people at a time will be standing waiting on +each other at the pail. The speaker seems to be used to such things, +and not at all disconcerted. Nearly all their services are funeral +services for those who may have been dead for years. They bury their +dead the same day or the day following death. They have no religious +service, except a prayer at the grave, if there chance to be a +minister present. Generally about a year after death, but often from +five to fifteen years after, they have the funeral sermon preached.</p> + +<p>In regard to healthfulness of our mountain home, we have felt +somewhat disappointed. Up so high, with nice springs and spring +streams, one would expect a healthy climate. On the contrary, almost +every one is ailing. Coughs and colds are universal. It is no wonder +the natives are unhealthy; their habits of living would seem to +prohibit health. They eat corn bread or hoe cake and bacon; some have +flour, but it is always made up into hot biscuit, shortened with +lard. They have this, with little variation, three times a day, 365 +days in a year. In summer, green beans cooked with bacon is added to +the bill of fare. Of course the blood becomes impoverished, and +almost every one has scrofula. Calomel and pills are the great +panacea for all their bodily ills. Pills are brought on by the quart, +and sold by the merchants like any other commodity. Cleanliness of +the person is an unheard of luxury; I doubt whether they ever bathe. +Children come to the table with unwashed faces. They are put to bed +with the same clothes they wear during the day. Then add to all this +the fact that tobacco is used almost from the cradle, and whiskies +and toddies from the time the poor child opens its eyes to this +world, and it's no great marvel that gray-haired men are exceedingly +rare, and it's the "<i>old man</i>" and the "<i>old woman</i>" when one has +reached the age of twenty-five.</p> + +<p>Now comes the question, What are we doing for the people? We have +been with them nearly two years, and this has been our effort from +the first, to get them to see that religion is a life rather than a +sectarian belief. We have sought to impress upon them that joining a +church is not Christianity. We have succeeded in getting a few to +take part in our prayer meetings, and we have the assurance that +<i>all</i> the people are awaking to the fact that God has some demands +upon them. We have from the first kept up regular Thursday night +prayer meetings; have had good attendance, but often only Mr. Myers +and myself to take part in them except as others read Scripture +verses.</p> + +<p>On the Sabbath we have Sunday-school at 9:30. Average attendance, +100; preaching at 11. I hasten home, saddle my horse, and ride six +miles to the next railroad station (Pleasant View). Here I have met +100 or more young people. I have been surprised that in a land where +a woman isn't expected to <i>know</i> anything, or <i>be</i> anything but a +doll or a drudge that there has been so little prejudice against my +school. Some, of course, have thought a woman entirely out of her +sphere to undertake such work and have taken occasion to remark to my +friends: "Why, Mrs. Myers opens the school by prayer, just as Mr. +Myers would. I don't know but it's all right, but it don't seem just +the proper thing for a woman to do."</p> + +<p>Mr. M. has a mission in South Williamsburg or the mills, where +numbers of children<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_16" id="Page_16">[Pg 16]</a></span> are growing up in the midst of gambling and +shooting. Prof. W. has, about the same hour, a school two miles out +in another direction. At night we have services again in +Williamsburg. At these services we have more than can get into the +house, and many are obliged to leave for lack of accommodation. +Tuesday nights we go to Pleasant View and help them learn the Gospel +Songs. Each alternate Wednesday evening, church socials; each +alternate Friday afternoon, Band of Hope; Saturday evening, choir +drill; Covenant Meeting once a month on Saturday afternoon.</p> + +<p>Mr. Myers has preached during the year beginning with Oct. '82, one +hundred and forty-two sermons. The services, together with the other +public services just mentioned, have amounted to three hundred and +forty. Have attended fifty or more meetings conducted by others. We +spend all the remaining time our strength will permit in calling at +the homes.</p> + +<p>We have a neat modern church nearly finished, and so far without +foreign help. But no one knows what an effort has been required. Mr. +Myers would announce a working bee to draw stone or any such work; +would try to enthuse the people as he has so often done in the North. +But when the time would come he has worked all day alone. We have +learned at last that this people don't enthuse.</p> + +<p>We are hard at work in our high-school enterprise. We have Prof. and +Mrs. W. and Miss G., all from the North, with us. We hope to get a +school, the good influence of which will never die out of these +mountains.</p> + +<p>These are peculiar people. What I have said of them has reference to +the <i>general</i> class of society. But there are some who seem of better +stock, who are shrewd, keen, far-sighted people. You cannot find +their superiors in <i>native</i> ability in any country. Though often +lacking in culture and morality, they still hold a wide influence +over the rest, so that something besides goodness is required in +those who wish to come among them as helpers. There must be ability +to adapt oneself to these widely diverse conditions. One needs wisdom +and tact to get along with the shrewdest, and such a love for souls +that he can come with a helping hand to the most degraded, nor be +discouraged if, with a heart brimful of sympathy, he reaches the hand +a long time only to see it rejected by those most in need.</p> + +<p>The work is a work of time. The majority of the people are unstable, +thriftless improvident and ignorant. Slavery left its blight of +impotency and profligacy upon them. They come and go as did their +fathers a hundred years ago. Their tools and utensils are the same +their great-grandparents used, and they are content with them. We +never worked harder and saw less result in the conversion of sinners +than while in Kentucky, and yet never felt more satisfied that we +were where God wants us, and doing an important work. Unless these +people have help they will prove a fretting leprosy in our nation.</p> + +<hr class="section" /> + +<h3>WORK AMONG THE COLORED PEOPLE OF THE SOUTH.</h3> + +<div class="center">BY MISS IDA M. BEACH.</div> + + +<p>No small part of the work undertaken by the A. M. A. is that among +the colored people of the South. Perhaps we may judge something of +how vast this work is in itself, and how far-reaching in its results, +if we consider for a few moments the numbers and condition of the +colored people. Twenty years ago about 4,000,000 people were +liberated from bondage, with all the evils resulting from the system +of slavery resting upon them. There was great rejoicing among lovers +of freedom when the Proclamation of Emancipation was issued. The +slaves themselves, wild<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_17" id="Page_17">[Pg 17]</a></span> with joy, shouted, "We're free! We're free! +The year of jubilee has come!" Free! yes, free! but with the burdens +of manhood and womanhood suddenly thrust upon them. Freedom brought +the right and opportunity of establishing homes. Glorious privilege! +But do we not all know how much good judgment and wisdom and thought +and planning it takes to maintain a <i>true home</i>? Freedom gave them +the right of keeping their little ones and seeing them grow to +manhood and womanhood, but oh! how much of patience and God-given +power it requires to train the little feet to tread the right way!</p> + +<p>Four million people, half civilized, uneducated, untrained, with the +judgment and reason of children, hitherto knowing little of the ways +of the outer world, suddenly brought into life's conflicts! What an +amount of instruction they needed!</p> + +<p>Right here the American Missionary Association stepped in and assumed +the work of training these people. Christian men and women, filled +with love for the Master, went down among these lowly ones. They +carried the Gospel of Jesus Christ, established schools and churches, +teaching in the open air, or in rude huts and deserted cabins. For +twenty years this work has been carried on, and much good has been +done in the name of the Lord. But to-day there are between six and +seven million colored people in our Southland. The work of the A. M. +A., together with all done by other societies and by students going +forth from the colleges as teachers, as yet scarcely begins to reach +this great number.</p> + +<p>Their first need is to be Christianized, for this alone lifts them up +and gives a desire for better things. It is the religion of Jesus +Christ alone which has given to us our high estate. How much we owe +to the training of Christian mothers! Let us pity and stoop to lift +up these ignorant ones. Send out those who can carry the glad tidings +and point to the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world.</p> + +<p>Let us do all we can to teach them what the pure religion is. But we +cannot stop here. We must teach them how to use it. "Woman's work for +woman," surely, for this must be done in the homes.</p> + +<p>Freedom gave them the <i>right</i> to establish homes! They did the best +they knew how, many of them, but they needed teaching—they need it +to-day. They must be taught thrift and industry, and cleanliness and +order. They want someone to come to them and help them to transform +their huts into homes. Could you see their rags, their ugly, +misshapen garments, you would agree with me that the women and girls +greatly need to be taught the use of the needle.</p> + +<p>Of course Christian schools need to be multiplied among them, where +the rudiments of an English education shall be thoroughly given, +where sewing and cooking, the care of the house and the care of the +sick shall be carefully taught the girls, where the boys may learn +the use of tools and all that pertains to good farming.</p> + +<p>Our stronghold is the children. We can never eradicate the evils +existing among the older generation. Slavery left too much ignorance +and superstition to ever be driven from the minds of those who lived +under its sway. But we are responsible for the coming generations.</p> + +<p>The American Missionary Association aims to reach the young and meet +their needs by the workers sent out.</p> + +<p>Perhaps our work in Savannah will be illustrative of that done in +many other parts of the field. We have there established a church and +school. There are now in school over 200 pupils. The majority of +these remain long enough with us to obtain a good common-school +education. We have also a normal grade, where methods of teaching are +taught those who desire to fit themselves for teachers.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_18" id="Page_18">[Pg 18]</a></span> Besides this +we have fitted up a sewing-room, where the girls learn every part of +sewing and repairing, cutting and basting. Many schools have shops +for boys; we look forward to the time when we may be able to have +them, too.</p> + +<p>We are just establishing a reading-room. Those who have read Prof. +Salisbury's article in the November <span class="smcap">Missionary</span> understand how much +this is needed. In our present circumstances we arrange it so that +all pupils of higher grades have a daily reading hour, with teacher +to direct. Then once in two weeks the older pupils meet for a social +reading.</p> + +<p>In our devotional exercises and school prayer meetings we aim to +assist them in a knowledge of true religion. Last year we observed +the Week of Prayer, and in the daily meetings held for several weeks +some found the way to Christ and Christian life. Our Church and +Sunday-School work reaches many who are not connected with our +school. We have a devoted missionary who spends her time in visiting +the parents and children in their homes, ministering to the wants of +the sick and needy, and holding Bible and Missionary meetings.</p> + +<p>This is a bare outline of our work. I presume many of you are saying. +"Have there been no results during these last twenty years?" Oh yes, +we have a bright side to the picture. When we are tired and +discouraged, and wonder if harvest time will never come, we go to +some of the pleasant homes where great changes have been wrought. We +point to a scholar and tell her past history, and then thank God that +the seed sown found a lodging place and good soil.</p> + +<p>In the cities when the large schools are, and where there are fair +public schools—where there is constant contact with civilized life, +many of the colored people live well. Yet there may be a neat, cosy +home just across the street, and a few doors beyond, a wretched +hovel.</p> + +<p>In the country, when the "Teachers' Home" and little school house are +built beside their log cabins, they catch a glimpse of better things +than they have known. The modest house, freshly painted, with the +neat, cosy rooms inside—very simple and plain to us—seems like a +palace to them. They begin to want the same. The children go to +school and come home with wonderful things to tell. Faces and hands +become clean, the woolly heads are more carefully combed, rents are +mended, the girls put on clean collars.</p> + +<p>The missionary shows the women how to fashion home-made lounges and +stools, they are covered with some bright calico, the floor is +scrubbed white, and they begin to live. The teacher says that they +must work if they want to have homes, money begins to be saved, and +before you know it little frame houses are going up beside the old +cabin. A good horse or mule, with a bright shiny buggy, takes the +place of the old steer and cart.</p> + +<p>Yes, indeed, much has been accomplished. But we had very few workers +in the early days among four million people, although just as many as +could be supported with the means furnished, and to-day, among nearly +seven millions, we have but 336 workers.</p> + +<p>Millions sit in darkness right here in our own land. A mighty work is +to be done, and the work in Africa must be done largely by these +people, too.</p> + +<p>We need more money; Christian men and women to go forth, and +Christian men and women who are willing to send them. "The harvest +truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few. Pray ye therefore the +Lord of the harvest that he will send forth laborers into his +harvest." "He that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto +life eternal."</p> +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_19" id="Page_19">[Pg 19]</a></span></p> +<hr class="section" /> + +<h3>REPORT OF THE SECRETARY.</h3> + + +<p>The information from the field, to which you have listened, explains +to you the necessity for the organization of a Bureau of Woman's +Work. It was organized in April, 1883, for the purpose, as was then +stated:</p> + +<p>1. To give information to the ladies in the churches of the variety +of work sustained by the Association and to assist in devising plans +of help.</p> + +<p>2. To promote correspondence with churches, Sabbath-schools, +missionary societies or individuals who will undertake work of a +special character, such as the support of missionaries, aiding of +students, supplying clothing, furnishing goods, and meeting other +wants on mission ground.</p> + +<p>3. To send to the churches, conferences or associations desiring it, +experienced and intelligent lady missionaries to address them, giving +fuller details of our methods of work.</p> + +<p>It was believed that the growing interest on the part of the ladies +of our churches, and their evident disposition to aid more +effectively in the elevation of women, particularly the women of the +South, called for such a department. Already the ladies of one State +had organized the "Woman's Aid to the A. M. A.," that they might have +their definite line of work in the support of lady missionaries, and +inquiry had been made by many how best to assist in this work.</p> + +<p>It was recognized that in no other way could a general interest be +awakened and maintained so well as by giving direct information from +the field, and the twenty years' experience of the Association in the +South, during which time more than 3,000 different ladies had been +employed as missionaries and teachers, the knowledge gained of the +peculiarities of the field and best methods of reaching the people, +and the thorough organization of the different departments of labor +in home, school, and church, prepared us to bring before the ladies +the information necessary, and to offer most excellent opportunities +for special work for women. The ready response to this movement +confirms the wisdom of the step, and we trust that ere long the +Bureau will open new avenues of usefulness to the ladies of the +churches, and give enlargement and efficiency to the work in the +field.</p> + +<p>Immediately following the organization of the Bureau, Miss Rose +Kinney, of Oberlin, O., for many years engaged in the Southern work, +and recently located in one of the dark corners of the field, +McIntosh, Ga., was detailed for service in the North. She spent about +six weeks in Ohio, Michigan, Illinois and Iowa, addressing ladies' +meetings at the General Associations, and with good results. In June +the Secretary of the Bureau was present at the State Conferences of +Vermont and Maine, and gave information of the work in the field, +resulting in the appointment of a State Committee of ladies in +Vermont, to secure funds for the support of a missionary. Early in +September Miss Anna M. Cahill, for nine years connected with Fisk +University, Nashville, Tenn., was detailed for special service, and +has recently attended a series of meetings in Michigan and Illinois.</p> + +<p>It is our purpose thus to bring the work before the ladies whenever +and wherever opportunity is given, through different teachers and +missionaries whom we may be able to spare temporarily from the field.</p> + +<p>Within the year just closed, Sept. 30, the Association has had +special aid from ladies North in the support of seven missionaries, +as follows:</p> + +<div class="center"> +<table width="80%" border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" summary="Special Aid in Support of Missionaries"> +<colgroup><col width="75%" /><col width="25%" /></colgroup> +<tr> + <td class="sub1">Ladies of Maine, support of Miss Lunt at Selma, Ala., and Miss Farrington at Wilmington, N.

C., was sustained to the amount of $300 by the +Sunday-school of the Central Congregational Church, Brooklyn.</p> + +<p>Supplies in the furnishing of Mission Homes and dormitories have been +recently furnished, and there is very marked increase of aid in the +furnishing of clothing, both new and second-hand, for the benefit of +students who are struggling in the greatest poverty to obtain an +education.</p> + +<p>While, therefore, but a few months have elapsed since the +organization of the Bureau of Woman's Work, its advantage is already +manifest.</p> + +<p>Since the field of missionary operations in our own country is large +and diversified, and three leading societies exist, each having its +distinct and important work,—viz.: The New West Education +Commission, the American Home Missionary Society, and the American +Missionary Association—no effort has been made by the American +Missionary Association to organize local societies auxiliary to +itself; but that a society should exist in every church, able to +co-operate directly with this Association in its great work for the +Chinese, the Indians, the negroes and the needy whites of the South, +seems apparent.</p> + +<p>To this end we urge upon the ladies, organization, as helpful to +systematic giving, and to facilitate such movement we present a form +of constitution for a co-operative society, that may be open to the +call from all parts of our country. This we greatly prefer as +avoiding complication and preserving fellowship and unity in the home +work. Such is the pressure of claims upon us, however, through the +needs of our field, that except as such opportunity is afforded for +aid to the Am. Miss. Assoc., we feel that we may be constrained to +ask for organization auxiliary to the A. M. A. exclusively—for the +women and children of 6,000,000 of colored people of the South alone +presents a field for missionary work in the elevation of women, which +we must not ignore, from the responsibility of which we cannot +escape.</p> + +<p>We are just now entering upon a new year of work. Of the 175 ladies +appointed to the various departments of missionary labor, twelve are +engaged for special home visitation among the people. You can see at +a glance that this number is insufficient for that line of duty. +Although our teachers are missionaries, and accomplish much through +the schools and various agencies set at work for the elevation of the +people, yet we ought to have at least one experienced and efficient +woman at every mission station, whose entire time should be given to +special work in the homes of the people. Not only do we desire this, +but the most urgent appeals are sent us from the field for help of +this kind, not instead of that which we are doing in school and +church, but supplementary to it, as necessary in securing the results +we seek. Already fifteen applications are before us for lady +missionaries to work in the homes, and we wait only for the women of +the North to furnish us the necessary funds. As fast as we receive +pledges of support the missionaries will be sent out.</p> + +<p>May the heart of every Christian woman be quickened to new impulse +for the development of womanhood in those in our own land, so +degraded and helpless!</p> +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_21" id="Page_21">[Pg 21]</a></span></p> +<hr class="section" /> + +<h3>FORM OF CONSTITUTION OF WOMAN'S MISSIONARY SOCIETIES.</h3> + + +<p><span class="smcap">Art</span>. 1.

CAHILL.</div> + + +<p>One main object of the Woman's Bureau, as stated at the time of its +organization, is to diffuse information among the ladies of our +churches, as to our work in its various departments.</p> + +<p>The carrying out of this purpose led to my eight weeks of itineracy +among the conferences and churches of Wisconsin and Michigan.</p> + +<p>If I went to inform I went also to learn—to see how fares our cause +in these churches. Especially I sought to learn how strong a hold the +work of the American Missionary Association has upon the sympathy and +effort of the Christian ladies of that section, what organized system +of helpfulness they already have in this line, or what in their +judgment can be done and will be done toward incorporating this work +in their regular plan of missionary operations for each year.</p> + +<p>As I expected, I found the interest in our cause in various stages of +development. It is not strange that in some places the ladies did not +even so much as know that there was a Woman's Bureau. The Bureau is +in its infancy, and the fact of its existence has not yet taken hold +of us all in any practical way. In many churches—not by any means +always the larger ones—I found an intelligent appreciation of the +needs and claims of the South.</p> + +<p>We have had many workers from these States of the West, or rather of +the Interior, and when I had the pleasure of going into a community +that had sent out one or more to the work in some part of our field, +I found always an enthusiastic interest and a warm response to my +appeals.</p> + +<p>My introduction to the warm-hearted Christian people of Wisconsin was +at the<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_22" id="Page_22">[Pg 22]</a></span> State Association, met at Racine Sept. 24. Finding on my +arrival a large representation of ladies gathered to celebrate the +anniversary of their Foreign Missionary Society, I felt sure that +there must be also an active sympathy for the work in our own land, +and I was not disappointed. On the following day, at a special +gathering of the ladies, a State society was organized, whose range +of objects should include all the benevolent societies of our +denomination, working in this country, leaving conferences and local +organizations at liberty to contribute through one treasurer or +several treasurers, to any of these societies.</p> + +<p>After attending this "gathering of the tribes" it was my privilege to +go by invitation to a few of the towns in southern Wisconsin. Of +course the State organization has not yet stretched out its arms over +the State in the formation of local societies. I can but think that +Beloit, Whitewater, Geneva and Kenosha will be among the first to +take definite steps in this direction. Wisconsin has by special +contributions from her ladies supported a missionary in the South for +several years and is still doing so. When through regular channels of +organization they shall make this a part of their regular yearly +charity, the arrangement can be more permanently relied upon by the +Woman's Bureau. Many, I think, will endorse the sentiment of a +prominent lady in Michigan who said to me: "I think the ladies of +each one of these Western States ought to support one or more +teacher-missionaries under the Association."</p> + +<p>On the 9th of October, at Grand Rapids, I joined the representative +of the Woman's Department of the American Home Missionary Society, +with whom the longer tour of six weeks was to be made in Michigan. We +were then on our way to the Grand River Conference at Allendale, +where we found a hearty welcome. In this Conference there is a branch +of the State Woman's Home Missionary Society, a society already more +than a year old and organized on the same broad platform as that +adopted in Wisconsin.</p> + +<p>Before the meeting of the Southern Michigan Conference we were able +to visit, in rapid succession, the churches at Middleville, +Vermontville, and Olivet, in all of which an evident sympathy in the +various forms of our work led me to hope that increased effort might +result from this new presentation of our needs.</p> + +<p>In the Southern Conference we found also a branch organization, union +in its character, and so efficiently officered that all is likely to +be done that can be accomplished through it. Nowhere did I find +stancher friends for our Christian educational work in the South than +in this conference.</p> + +<p>At this point a short break occurred in our Michigan tour. A rapid +journey brought us to Lake City in time to spend one day at the +Minnesota State Association—just to grasp the hands of our Minnesota +friends and be assured of their continued helpfulness. The Woman's +Home Missionary Society voted that at the next annual meeting the +constitution should be reconsidered, with a view to enlarging its +borders and including all the benevolent societies of our home work. +The giving of a year's notice before any change can be made is +required by the constitution itself.</p> + +<p>We took up the work in Michigan again at St. Joseph, and from there +went to the Kalamazoo Association. We found here, as elsewhere, that +these autumn conferences are generally held with the smaller and less +accessible churches, where the attendance of ladies is necessarily +limited, and we must, therefore, give our message to the pastors, +charging them with the responsibility of carrying it to the ladies of +their churches.</p> + +<p>Before the next conference we were able to take in our plan the +central points, Jackson, Ann Arbor, Flint and Lansing, and when we +went up from there to<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_23" id="Page_23">[Pg 23]</a></span> Nashville to the Marshall Conference we felt +that we were meeting old friends in the pastors and people, at whose +homes we had already been.</p> + +<p>Another tour through Kalamazoo, Allegan, Owosso, Port Huron, St. +Clair, Detroit, Union City and Chelsea brought us much the same +experiences as before.</p> + +<p>We came finally to the large Eastern Conference, which was to be our +last place of labor in Michigan. The ladies of this Conference, +though not yet organized for home work under the State society, for +several years supported a missionary in the South, largely through +the personal effort of one active lady, who made this special +collection her care. With the closing of this Bureau visit to the +ladies of Michigan the work is left in their hands—not to be +forgotten by them, but to be developed and strengthened until there +shall be a rich annual fruitage of effort and practical result.</p> + +<hr class="section" /> + +<h2>CHILDREN'S PAGE.</h2> + +<hr class="quarter" /> + +<h3>CHRISTMAS GIVING AT MYSTIC, CONN.</h3> + +<div class="center">REV. CHARLES H. OLIPHANT.</div> + + +<p>The Editor has asked me to give some account of the way our +Sunday-school behaves itself at Christmas-time.</p> + +<p>There are two ideas about the Church; and as parents feel and think +about the Church the children will be pretty sure to think and feel +about the Sunday-school. One conception of the Church is that it is a +kind of receptacle for pious people. When one becomes "good enough" +he is expected to get into this receptacle and there be acted upon by +the means of grace. It is one of the mischiefs of this notion that it +seems to excuse laymen from any active part in Christian work, if +only they are regular attendants upon divine service. So, many people +come to the preaching and the praying as if there were nothing for +them to do, nothing either great or small. Such members may be said +to be found in the "passive voice."</p> + +<p>The other and better notion is that the Church is not a receptacle, +but an engine; not a box for Christians to get into, but a "body" for +them to operate, and through which Christ can act upon the world of +to-day. According to this view, the minister is not the only member +whom the Master has called into His vineyard, the ideal Church is not +so much a company of sheep as a company of soldiers; the congregation +comes together not simply to "hear Mr. ——," but to organize for +work. This may be called the Church's "active voice." I cannot +(within the verbal limits assigned me) measure the miles of distance +which lie between these two views.</p> + +<p>The same confusion of thought prevails in the Sunday-school. We know +how the small boy finds that Sunday-school the most attractive (and +that teacher the "nicest") whose Christmas-tree pays the largest +dividend.</p> +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_24" id="Page_24">[Pg 24]</a></span></p> +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 531px;"> +<img src="images/img028.jpg" width="531" height="673" alt="CHILDREN BEARING CHRISTMAS GIFTS" title="" /> +<span class="caption">CHILDREN BEARING CHRISTMAS GIFTS</span> +</div> + +<p>When I came to my present field of work it had been the immemorial +custom to have a tree and a treat for the children of the school. +After a year or two of competition with other schools in making it +"worth while" for children to attend our own, we "braced up" and put +the question to vote whether we would make the Christmas festival a +feast for ourselves or a feast for others; whether we would have our +school at this time a dispenser of sweetmeats and ourselves the +beneficiaries, or dispense a gift instead to some more needy servants +of the Master, who had no parental pocketbook to tap; no good things +to give away. To the<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_25" id="Page_25">[Pg 25]</a></span> surprise of all the vote was unanimous against +the old, and in favor of the new, way. There was much misgiving as to +results. Many confidently predicted that the offerings (each class +was invited to bring its own in a sealed envelope) would be +microscopic. It was distinctly understood that no money—not the +smallest sum—was asked from those who disapproved the plan. Teachers +were urged to dissuade their classes from perfunctory gifts. +Inquiring next for a suitable object, we were advised by the Home +Missionary Society of a poor servant of theirs in a Western State, +whose poorer and more to be pitied wife was the mother of seven +children. We put her to vote, and she was promptly and unanimously +chosen. With the introduction into the plan of a personal element, +enthusiasm began, and it became evident at once that there was to be +sharp rivalry between the classes as to the size of their gifts. At +length came the Christmas Eve concert, and with it a bright, full +company of children. They never looked so happy, and every one of +them knows that he never was so happy on such an occasion, as when, +class by class, the offerings were handed to the Superintendent. With +each of these a passage of Scripture was recited. It became only too +evident, as the pile within his hand increased, that the +prognostications of those who were sure that an old Sunday-school +could not be taught new tricks were false. We are a small +school—only 80 scholars—but the class offerings on this occasion +footed up twenty-eight dollars and some cents. A letter was +accordingly written and the money inclosed to the wife (this was the +best part of it, for we were sure that the minister could not then, +as ministers will, mistake the remittance for a portion of his +salary), who was asked to purchase with the amount some article or +articles of which she was individually in need. The letter which came +back to us after a week made those who heard it read in open school +clear their throats and wink away an inevitable tear. It revealed +(among other things) the fact that this poor servant had hitherto +made all the clothing for seven children with the bare needle. Now +she has a sewing machine. We all think, but none more fervently than +the children, that the memory of a few oranges, more or less—oranges +eaten three years ago—would not compensate for the glad +consciousness that life is easier every day in at least one prairie +home. Thus we were led to translate the Beatitude pronounced upon the +"giver" into our own experience, and we have its meaning in the +continuous stream of happiness which many have felt at the +remembrance of what our pennies wrought.</p> + +<p>We have recently chosen an object for this year's offering; for the +practice of giving and not receiving at Christmas-time is now +habitual with us. Dr. Pike has told us about Philip Page, the African +lad now at Atlanta, seeking eagerly, but with insufficient means, +such an education as will qualify him to go back to his people a +missionary. We shall send him enough for his support for one, and +perhaps for two months.</p> + +<p>Let me urge those who may read these words to allow no seeming +obstacle to prevent the putting in practice, in the schools to which +they belong, of the plan here described. Do not fail to give the +children for their Christmas gift the happiness that giving brings. +Do not delay to teach the young by so simple a lesson the difference +between the blessedness of giving and that of receiving. Identify by +all means the aims and methods of the Church and Sunday-school. Let +it not, even in a figure, appear to the child that the Christian +attitude is one of idle enjoyment. No matter how small the gift, it +is the <i>giving up</i> which makes us the Lord's disciples.</p> +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_26" id="Page_26">[Pg 26]</a></span></p> +<hr class="section" /> + +<h3>RECEIPTS FOR NOVEMBER 1883.</h3> + +<hr class="quarter" /> + +<div class="center"> +<table class="receipts" border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" summary="Receipts—MAINE"> +<tr><td align="center" colspan="2">MAINE, $425.02.</td></tr> + +<tr> +<td class="sub1">Bangor.

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

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. 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. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/29165-h/images/img004.jpg b/29165-h/images/img004.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..87f0c0c --- /dev/null +++ b/29165-h/images/img004.jpg diff --git a/29165-h/images/img010.jpg b/29165-h/images/img010.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..5cf9398 --- /dev/null +++ b/29165-h/images/img010.jpg diff --git a/29165-h/images/img012.jpg b/29165-h/images/img012.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..96a3dfb --- /dev/null +++ b/29165-h/images/img012.jpg diff --git a/29165-h/images/img028.jpg b/29165-h/images/img028.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..ff502d8 --- /dev/null +++ b/29165-h/images/img028.jpg diff --git a/29165-h/images/img035a.jpg b/29165-h/images/img035a.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..fb744ba --- /dev/null +++ b/29165-h/images/img035a.jpg diff --git a/29165-h/images/img035b.jpg b/29165-h/images/img035b.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..f7ad3bb --- /dev/null +++ b/29165-h/images/img035b.jpg diff --git a/29165-h/images/img035c.jpg b/29165-h/images/img035c.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..fc4abd0 --- /dev/null +++ b/29165-h/images/img035c.jpg diff --git a/29165-h/images/img035d.jpg b/29165-h/images/img035d.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..ae6b37d --- /dev/null +++ b/29165-h/images/img035d.jpg diff --git a/29165-h/images/img036.jpg b/29165-h/images/img036.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..59f42be --- /dev/null +++ b/29165-h/images/img036.jpg diff --git a/29165-h/images/title.jpg b/29165-h/images/title.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..97f5a12 --- /dev/null +++ b/29165-h/images/title.jpg |
