An increase from collections and donations of $6,905.71 +over last year, but a decrease from legacies of $21,640.83, making +the decrease of total receipts for the seven months of $14,744.12. We +must again remind our friends that it is necessary to largely +increase our collections and donations or incur a debt. + + * * * * * + +OUR ILLUSTRATED ARTICLE. + + +It gives us pleasure to place before our readers in this number an +illustrated article on our Dakota Mission. The plates were prepared +for the use jointly of the ILLUSTRATED CHRISTIAN WEEKLY and the +AMERICAN MISSIONARY. The article was written by Rev. Addison P. +Foster, one of our Executive Committee who visited the mission last +year. The popularity of the Indian number of the MISSIONARY which we +issued in April, 1883, leads us to hope that this number will be +welcomed and preserved for use as occasion may offer. + + * * * * * + +OUR INDIAN MISSIONS. + + +Nine schools, with 356 pupils; five churches, with 271 members; five +stations; thirteen missionaries; thirty-seven teachers, are the +statistics. The churches are Congregational, and the church and +school go hand in hand. A careful survey of the necessities of these +missions was made early in the year, and the estimate called for an +appropriation of about $30,000. Repairs and improvements in old +buildings and construction of new buildings, imperatively demanded +for the efficient prosecution of the work, forbade a lower estimate. + +In surrendering our African missions, obedient to the voice of the +churches that our appeal might be simplified, we gave up the proceeds +of invested funds that in large part sustained that work; while in +receiving from the American Board its Indian missions, there was +placed just so much additional demand upon our treasury. Our +inevitable outlook was a trilemma--either enlarged receipts, or +retrenchment, or debt. + +We therefore sent to about fifteen hundred Congregational ministers +in February last a printed circular asking: + +First--Shall we raise this year $30,000 for our mission work among +the Indians? + +Second--Will you aid, and how? + +Up to date we have received 206 replies. To the first question the +answers are nearly all in the affirmative; most of them strong and +positive, a few cautious and questioning. + +To the second, 33 responded with immediate contributions; 43 promised +an increase in the regular church collections, 71 a special +contribution from the missionary concert, and 3 the proceeds of a +lecture. + +The replies are representative. Ministers in charge of the strong +churches, and those in charge of the weaker, speak the same language +of encouragement. "Go ahead." "Forward! is the word." "We will back +you." "It is no more than fair that those who have hitherto sustained +these Indian missions through the A. B. C. F. M. should now turn +their hand into the A. M. A. to increase its funds for this work." +"Thirty thousand dollars will do more and better work than so many +muskets." "We love your work and will aid you all we can." Such are +the sentiments these letters breathe. From all parts of the country +they come. California strikes hands with Massachusetts, Washington +Territory and Utah range themselves with Florida, all of them wishing +us God-speed, and promising help in our Indian work. We are glad to +have received such encouragement as these letters give, and sincerely +thank our brethren who took the trouble and time to answer our +inquiries. We trust that none of them will fail to see that the +promises are fulfilled. There will be in some cases need of special +remembrance. Interests crowd in these days. Even what is lawful and +regular has to fight for recognition. There are others who have not +answered our questions, upon whose co-operation to bring up that +$30,000 we also rely. We hope that as they read these lines their +eyes will detect the special appeal, implied, though not expressed, +that is here made to them. We commend anew the claims of these +important missions to our friends, and again remind them that if we +are to worthily do this enlarged work they must come up to our help +with enlarged contributions. + + * * * * * + +OUR SPRING ASSOCIATIONS. + +REV. J. E. ROY, D.D. + + +There were four of them, those of Alabama, at Montgomery; of +Louisiana, at New Orleans; of Mississippi, at Meridian; and of North +Carolina, at Dudley. The first three came the first part of April; +the last came the 1st of May. Alabama received two new ministers, +Revs. A. J. Headen and C. L. Harris, and two new churches, those of +Birmingham and Tecumseh, places of large iron and coal interests. +Louisiana received the Church of Chocahula and Rev. Byron Gunner. The +meetings of Alabama have come to the dignity of State Anniversaries, +those of the Sunday-school Association, of the Association of +Churches, and of the Woman's Missionary Association, which this year +transferred its auxiliaryship from the Boston W. H. M. A. to the +Woman's Bureau of the A. M. A. The Sunday-school body took a day for +its reports, addresses and discourses. Among other valuable +contributions was that of Mrs. Ash, widow of the late Rev. W. H. Ash, +upon the dress and deportment of the teacher. The body representing +the churches and the ministers came up to its own high-water mark of +intellectual force and spiritual tone. Among the practical subjects +discussed was that of the relation of the churches toward secret +societies. In the whole discussion not a word was offered in defense +of the clandestine orders. It would have done Brother Fee good to +have heard the fearless discussion. The church of Montgomery, under +the care of Rev. R. C. Bedford, was found in a prosperous condition, +ten members being received during the sessions of the body. Prof. G. +W. Andrews, an early pastor of the church, had the pleasure of +baptizing into the church a lad of thirteen, who had been named after +himself, George Whitefield. Prof. Andrews also delivered an address +upon the Mission of Congregationalism in the South, which was the +feature of the week of services. Upon invitation three of the leading +white churches of the city were supplied on the Lord's Day, those of +Dr. Petrie, First Presbyterian, Dr. Andrew, First Methodist, and Dr. +Woodfin, First Baptist--the service being rendered by Revs. O. W. +Fay, G. W. Andrews and J. E. Roy. Four white families extended +hospitality and four white pastors came into the meetings. And so +recognition is coming along. + +The Louisiana Association met with Rev. Isaac Hall's church, which +with paint and fresco had put its house of worship into beautiful +condition. Dr. W. S. Alexander was elected Moderator for the eighth +year. A member of his church, a converted Catholic, was licensed that +he might preach among the French-speaking colored people in the city +of New Orleans. The account of his conversion was extremely +interesting, showing how, by the word of God, he had worked out of +Romish superstitions and had "found out what it was to be born +again." During the sessions, by a proper Council, Mr. Byron Gunner, +of the Theological Department of Talladega College, was examined and +ordained to serve as pastor at New Iberia, the place where the +Acadians settled and Whittier's "Evangeline" drifted in search of her +lover. Dr. Alexander preached the sermon and Rev. R. C. Bedford, of +Montgomery, gave the charge. The venerable brother, Rev. Daniel Clay, +preached the opening sermon on the text, "Fear not, little flock, for +it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom." + +The whole body was at the Boarding Hall of the Straight University +for a lunch, when the President made the members a fine present of +books from a Northern society. + +The meeting of the Mississippi body was the second, and it revealed a +maturing process. President Pope and Professor Hatch represented +Tougaloo University--the president preaching a sermon on Christian +Industry, and the professor reading a capital paper on Revivals. Rev. +C. L. Harris, of Jackson, preached the opening sermon. He is finding +a wide and effectual door at the Capital of the State. Pastor Grice, +at Meridian, is encouraged by the assistance of Miss M. E. Green, a +lady missionary. Miss A. D. Gerrish serves in the same capacity at +New Orleans. At the meeting in the last named city, Miss E. B. Emery, +from Maine, gave an impressive talk upon Woman's Mission Work. Misses +Sperry and Wilcox, teachers, followed with words of confirmation. In +Mississippi three or four promising fields are opening for the School +and Church process, and these will be entered and occupied as soon as +may be. + +The Old North State held its fifth annual meeting on the first four +days of May, at Dudley. This was a place at which the colored people, +during the Ku-Klux terror, "refugeed," making there a stand for +life--the hunted creatures at bay. Early the A. M. A. opened here its +Mission School and Church. Difficulties, peculiar to the +heterogeneous material thus gathered, have gradually been overcome, +until now the gospel is in the ascendant as an assimilating force. +The church and school under Rev. J. E. B. Jewett and his wife, of +Pepperell, Mass., are in a high degree of prosperity. The New England +Academy Principal seems especially adapted to these children of toil. +The Association had the round of discussions, essays, devotional +meetings. The National Council and the annual meeting of the A. M. A. +were duly reported. The new Confession of Faith was heartily +approved. A memorial service for the late Rev. Islay Walden, a native +of North Carolina, was a marked feature of the occasion. The great +work he had accomplished for his people in so short a time was +instructive and encouraging to the other young ministers, and to the +young people of the Assembly. Mrs. Elenora Walden continues the +school work of her husband, greatly confided in by the people. Rev. +Zachariah Simmons takes up the pastoral work. Three delegates from +Strieby and Troy had _walked_ 130 miles for want of money to pay the +railroad fare. Three new school-house churches were reported--those +of Pekin, Oaks and Hillsboro, the last two having been dedicated by +the Field Superintendent on the Saturday and Sunday previous. Sermons +were preached by Revs. D. D. Dodge, G. S. Smith (Moderator), J. E. +Roy and Z. Simmons. Deacon Henry Clay Jones, of Raleigh, made a +flaming temperance speech, claiming that 60,000 Prohibition voters +held the balance of power, which, as a third party, could and should +overmaster the 100,000 majority that went against home protection. + + * * * * * + +REMEMBER THE POOR. + + +When Paul and Barnabas were about to set forth to labor among the +heathen, Cephas, James and John gave them the right hand of +fellowship with a charge included in these words: "Only that they +would remember the poor." How they should do it had been indicated by +Him who said of his own labors "the poor have the gospel preached to +them." + +The expression "the poor" is comprehensive. All human wants relate to +it. The poverty of some, however, is more complete than that of +others, and the poorest have early, if not the first, claim to +attention. The Pauls and Barnabases of our times may justly listen to +appeals which arise from the following conditions: + +1. Ignorance. In this country it may be said ignorance is the mother +of poverty. Indeed, ignorance is one of the worst forms of poverty. +Intelligence among the masses, coupled with true religion, would soon +abolish it. Whatever is lacking of knowledge of God, of what He has +promised, of what He has made for us, of what we can do for +ourselves, must be supplied. It was an observation of Dean Stanley +that we ought to teach the heathen how to count three before +attempting to instruct them as to the doctrine of the Trinity. The +great Preacher was the great Teacher also. If there be the greatest +ignorance South, the appeal from the South to us to remember the poor +is urgent and imperative. + +2. Poverty. Where a large proportion of the people can neither read +nor write, there nothing but a fractional supply for human wants is +to be expected. Inadequate buildings meagerly furnished, insufficient +clothing for the young, lack of medical care and neglect of the aged +and infirm--these are evil conditions only too common all over the +South, rendering much that ministers to a thrifty and manly character +impossible, as things are now. Where there is the greatest sickness, +privation and want, there apostles to the poor have legitimate field +for labor. Is there any such field in our country as that presented +at the South? + +3. Vice. It is admitted that ignorance and poverty beget vice. +According to recent statistics, gathered from the whole country, it +is shown that the illiterate classes commit more than ten times +their pro rata of crime. The missionary must stay the progress of +vice, drying up its sources as best he may, and uncapping the +fountains of life. To do this he must impart knowledge and preach the +gospel. + +If, in consequence of the ignorance and poverty of the people South, +there is vice and crime unparalleled in the annals of our country; if +these things combined constitute a poverty unknown elsewhere in the +land when estimated by its extent, then those who seek the poorest +will not neglect the millions in the Southern States. + +It is our work, as an Association, to do what we can to render these +people the help needful. Will not the friends of Christ help us +"remember the poor?" + + * * * * * + +CHRISTIAN EDUCATORS IN COUNCIL is the title of a pamphlet of 266 +pages, giving full report of sixty addresses by American educators at +Ocean Grove last August, arranged topically as follows: I. Education +and Man's Improvement. II. Illiteracy in the United Slates. III. +National Aid to Common Schools. IV. The Negro in America. V. +Illiteracy, Wealth, Pauperism, and Crime. VI. The American Indian +Problem. VII. The American Mormon Problem. VIII. Education in the +South since the War. IX. Christ in American Education. Tables: +Illiterate and Educational Status, United States, 1880. Rev. J. C. +Hartzell, D.D., the editor and compiler, purposes to issue a second +edition for general circulation. He may be addressed at the Methodist +Book Concern, New York. We know of no one document of equal value, on +the subjects discussed. The price is one dollar. + + * * * * * + +SOUTHERN MANUFACTURES. + + +An account of the Southern manufacturing and mining enterprises for +January and February is given in the _Manufacturers' Record_, and +illustrates the growing thrift of these industries in the South. +Kentucky shows the largest aggregate, which foots up $6,851,000. +Alabama is second with 5,210,000; Virginia, 3,830,000; Texas, +3,593,000; Georgia, 2,074,000; Maryland, 2,015,000; North Carolina, +1,227,000; West Virginia, 916,000; South Carolina, 904,000; +Tennessee, 846,000, and the other States a little less than 500,000 +each. The cotton mills begun since January will cost over $325,000, +and will add more than a hundred thousand spindles to the number now +in the South. The Eagle and Phoenix Mills, Columbus, Ga., intend to +erect a new structure at the cost of $1,000,000. At Rome, Ga., and at +Birmingham, Ala., new cotton mills to cost $100,000 each are about to +be erected. Confidence, which can only spring from intelligence and +Christianity, is the one thing needful in order to secure the capital +wanted for the development of the vast manufacturing interests of the +southern portion of our country. + +THE EARLY DAWN is the title of a paper published at Good Hope +Station, Sherbro Island, under the management of Rev. Mr. Gomer, the +colored Superintendent of the Mendi and Shengay Missions, now in +charge of the United Brethren in Christ. THE EARLY DAWN is welcomed. + + * * * * * + +A TURN IN THE ROAD. + + +Gov. McDaniel, of Georgia, has commuted the death sentences of two +negroes. One of these, it is said, had no fair chance of defense, and +the other killed the invader of his domestic peace, for which offence +the Governor said he would never allow a man to be hanged. It is to +Mr. McDaniel's credit that this clemency was exercised in full view +of the desperate efforts which have been made for more than a year to +save from the gallows one Turner, a man of influential family, for +whose crime there was no excuse. All recourses of appeal to the +courts having been exhausted, Turner's friends are bringing every +pressure to bear to have the Governor give him a "negro's chance," +but that official has decided to let the law take its course. + + * * * * * + +JOHN F. SLATER. + + +The death of Mr. Slater, which occurred at Norwich, Conn., May 6, +removes one of our foremost philanthropists. His well-known gift of a +million dollars for the emancipated race in America was made after +years of converse with eminent scholars, statesmen, capitalists and +Christian philanthropists. The act was in every sense deliberate. His +successful business career, extending over many years, his knowledge +of men, gained by his relations with business interests in the great +centers of trade; by his employment of large numbers of laborers; by +his observations while traveling at home and abroad--gave him +opportunity to reach the best conclusions as to what people in our +land were the most needy, and where the gifts would yield the most +abundant results. He took a business man's view of the subject, and +has left an expression of judgment, supported by a princely +benefaction, of great value to others who are prayerfully considering +how they may best promote the interests of Christian civilization. +Modest, consistent, dignified, courteous, a regular attendant at a +Congregational church, a good neighbor, a good citizen beloved--such +was John F. Slater. He has left a name better and more enduring than +his great riches. + + * * * * * + +BENEFACTIONS. + + +The late Lucius J. Knowles bequeathed $5,000 to Doane College, +Nebraska, and $10,000 to Carlton College, Minnesota. + +A professorship at Williams College, in honor of Dr. Mark Hopkins, +has been provided for by subscriptions amounting to $25,000. + +The New York University is to receive $5,000 from the estate of the +late Augustus Schell, and the New York Historical Society $5,000. + +Mrs. Louisa L. Vought, besides other gifts to the Protestant +Episcopal Church, left $10,000 for work among the colored people +South, and $1,000 for the Indians. + +Harvard College is to receive $5,000 for the astronomical observatory +connected with that institution, from the estate of the late Thomas +G. Appleton. + +The Yale Corporation has voted to accept $50,000 from the Frederick +Marquand fund for a chapel for the use of the College Young Men's +Christian Association. + +Knox College is to receive about $60,000 from the estate of the late +H. H. Hitchcock, of Galesburg, Ill. + +Mrs. Oswald Ottendorfer, of New York, bequeathed $50,000 for a German +teachers' seminary in Milwaukee. + +Hon. John R. Bodwell, of Hallowell, Me., gives $1,000 toward the new +building for Industrial School for Girls in that city. + +_Persons desirous to help where help is most needed, to help where it +will do most to promote national prosperity and true religion, may +well consider the question of endowments for the educational +institutions of the A. M.

ADDISON P. FOSTER. + + +It was my rare good fortune last summer to spend nearly a month in a +trip of investigation among the Dakota Indians. A record of +observations thus made may perhaps be of interest. + +Across the Missouri, in Northern Nebraska, is a reservation about +twelve miles square on which are located the Santees. These Indians +came originally from Minnesota, and were concerned in the terrible +New Ulm massacre there. This was years ago. After that bloody +outbreak a large number of Indians were imprisoned. While thus +incarcerated they were deeply moved by the truths of religion. The +long and faithful labors of Drs. Riggs and Williamson bore fruit, and +very many were truly converted. These Minnesota Indians were +subsequently removed, a portion to the Sisseton Agency, a portion to +Flandreau, and a portion to the Santee Agency. At this last-named +spot the Indians are practically civilized. They wear the white man's +dress; they cultivate farms of their own; they sustain two churches, +one Episcopal and one Congregational, the latter having its excellent +native pastor and an outlying chapel where the native deacons conduct +meetings in turn; they have recently, to the number of fifty, taken +up land under the homestead laws and now own them in fee simple. +There are three boarding schools on the reservation, one sustained by +the American Missionary Association and in the charge of the Rev. A. +L. Riggs, another sustained by the Episcopalians, under the +jurisdiction of Bishop Hare, and a third supported by the Government, +of which Rev. Charles Seccombe, a Congregationalist, is principal. +The work in all these schools is admirable. The children are neat, +intelligent, attractive, orderly, and studious, and while not as far +advanced nor as quick, will compare favorably with the children of +schools among white people. The development of Indian character under +these Christianizing influences was remarkably shown in a visit to +one of the cottages on the mission. Here dwell one of the native +teachers, her mother and grandmother. The aged grandmother in her +whole appearance bespoke the wild Indian. Gray and bent with age, she +loved best to sit on the floor in a corner, after the fashion of her +people. The mother, a comely matron of perhaps forty-five, was +evidently more cultivated, was lady-like in her appearance, and had +lines of thoughtfulness on her thin face. The work of civilization +had made great advance in her. But the daughter, a young lady of +eighteen, well educated, knowing only the ways of civilization, was +as thoroughly refined and bright and attractive as the young ladies +of our own Christian homes. + +[Illustration: INDIAN BURYING GROUND.] + +At Oahe, fifteen miles west of Pierre, Dakota Territory, is a second +mission station, under the charge of the American Missionary +Association. Up and down the river, on what is known as the Peoria +Bottom, are perhaps a hundred families of Indians, each living on +their own homesteads, off reservation limits, cultivating their +farms, dwelling in comfortable log-houses, dressed in civilized garb, +and showing as much neatness and industry as the average white man. +These people are recognized as citizens and are voters. They have a +neat chapel, a native pastor, sustain admirable prayer-meetings--a +woman's prayer-meeting among them--and live good reputable lives. In +this spot and at Santee Agency the Indian is seen at his best. Life +and property are respected, the land is fairly tilled, the homes are +happy, intelligence is general, and religion is the universal +motive-power. + +[Illustration: WIGWAMS AMONG THE SIOUX.] + +On the west side of the Missouri in Dakota lies the great Sioux +Reservation, containing 8,000 Indians at the Pine Ridge Agency, +nearly 8,000 at the Rosebud Agency, 1,500 of the Lower Brule Indians, +3,000 along the Cheyenne River and northward, and nearly 4,000 on the +Standing Rock Agency. It was my fortune to visit a number of villages +on the Cheyenne, Morrow, and Grand Rivers and at Standing Rock. The +Indians at these places are all wild--that is, still wear blankets, +breech-cloths, and leggings, feathers and geegaws, do little toward +cultivating the land, and are ignorant heathen. A Sabbath in a +village on the Cheyenne showed what wild Indians were. The morning +opened with two men disguised in buffalo-skins with the heads on, +running through the village. They had had a dream, were supposed to +be possessed of spirits, and as they chased the villagers all ran +from them, affrighted lest some witchcraft be wrought by them. +Presently the church-bell rang at the missionary's tent, and fifty +Indians came in, gaudy in paints and wampum, ornaments, and dangling +queues tied up with mink-skins, the chief wearing a broken down +beaver hat with a faded weed upon it, and the rest supplied with fans +of eagles' wings, pipes, and other accompaniments of Indian +gentlemen. They listened with occasional grunts of approval during +worship, and filed out at the close with a cordial handshake, one +remaining, named from his height Touch-the-Clouds, to say that he +felt the importance of this new way, and that he wished for himself +and his people schools and churches. This was encouraging, but as the +evening came on there set up a hideous noise; a dance was in +progress, and all night long a relay of three Indians kept up the +hideous and monotonous tom-tom of their kettle-drums, while the +shrill scream of the women pierced the air. + +The next morning were things equally painful. A young Indian woman, +with four children to care for, put away by her cruel husband for +another wife, came to beg the missionary's influence to secure for +her Government rations. A tent hard by was visited, where the family, +in accordance with Indian superstitions, were gathering, and had been +for a year or two, all sorts of valuable articles for presents in +honor of some deceased member of the household, intending by-and-by +to distribute all these things, leaving themselves beggared. And last +of all, in a neighboring village were seen three men and a boy, clad +with a few feathers in their hair, and yellow ochre on their bodies, +going through mummeries in the sight of a large company. They were +"making mystery," whatever that may be. + +[Illustration: INDIAN GIRLS AT SANTEE NORMAL TRAINING SCHOOL.] + +At Standing Rock were Sitting Bull and Chief Gall, with their bands. +Not many years ago they had been on the war path; they were concerned +in the Custer massacre; but now they are in wholesome awe of the +Government and dependent on Government favor for daily bread. +Consequently they are orderly and peaceable, and though a few years +since it would have been dangerous for three unarmed men to pass +through their reservations, it was perfectly safe last summer for a +missionary speaking the Indian language and his friends. + +[Illustration: INDIAN IN NATIVE DRESS, FORT BERTHOLD.] + +A third class of Indians was found at Fort Berthold. This reservation +is a hundred miles north of Bismarck, Dakota Territory, on the east +side of the Missouri. There are three small tribes combined in one +large village for protection against their ancient enemies the Sioux, +namely, the Arickarees, the Mandans, and the Gros Ventres. These +Indians have latterly made great advances in civilization. They have +800 acres under cultivation, all looking admirably and well fenced +in, and they are taking great pride in their work and asking for more +land to cultivate. They have comfortable homes, or "lodges," as they +are called, made in an octagonal form, of logs completely covered +with earth. They are eagerly obtaining from the Government such +comforts of civilization as they can--reapers, cooking-stoves, +baking-powder, and the like. And yet this people display some of the +grossest elements of savagery. Polygamy is common. The disgusting +scaffold burials still go on, and the air in the neighborhood of the +village is sometimes foul from the adjacent cemetery. Buffalo heads +and poles with red streamers, as offerings or invocations to spirits, +surmount many of the lodges and bear witness to the heathenism of the +people. Many of the men are terribly scarred on the shoulders, breast +and arms with the cruel practices of the sun dance. Men and women +alike wear the dress of their savage life. There has been as yet +little success from schools or church work. Few care for schools, and +the attendance at the mission chapel is not large. The fault, +however, is not with the devoted missionaries, Rev. C. L. Hall and +his helpers of the American Missionary Association, whose +faithfulness is unsurpassed, but with bad white men who visit the +village. For years these Indians have been brought in contact with +some of the worst influences of civilization, and in consequence the +women have become gross, the men have lost their sense of honor, and +the people are manifestly more degraded and harder to reach than the +wild Indians on the Sioux Reservation. + +After observation of these three types of Indians, the Christianized, +the wild and the polluted, certain conclusions were inevitable. + +1. There is a natural nobility in the Indian character. The Indian is +debased by heathenism and his wild life, lazy, improvident, filthy, +obscene and cruel; and yet he is well endowed by nature with brains +and heart and conscience. He is clear-headed and generous; he is +often affectionate in his family; he is capable of becoming +industrious, conscientious, scholarly, and thoroughly consecrated. If +his wild life has affected him unfavorably, it has not done him the +same kind of harm that slavery has to the colored man. He is not +crushed in spirit and ambition as was the colored slave at the time +of the civil war. + +[Illustration: INDIAN WOMAN AT FORT BERTHOLD.] + +[Illustration: INDIAN LODGE AT FORT BERTHOLD.] + +2. There, as elsewhere, the gospel proves the most efficient +instrumentality. The United States Government is doing a noble work +for the elevation of the race by introducing the agencies of +civilization. The Indian agents in Dakota are, as a rule, noble men, +vieing with the missionaries in endeavors to benefit the race. The +Board of Indian Commissioners are deserving of all praise for their +great services. The present system of Government management in +establishing schools, in encouraging agriculture, in discountenancing +savage practices, in stimulating the home-life, is most admirable. +But Christian efforts are yet more efficacious. It is where the +gospel has sway the longest, or has been the chief influence, that +the Indians are the most elevated. + +[Illustration: SANTEE INDIANS TEN YEARS AGO.] + +3. It cannot be questioned that we have come to a new stage in Indian +affairs. At last there is throughout the country almost complete +control of the wild Indians. The day of Indian wars is over. We may +very likely never have another. Now that the buffalo has largely +disappeared, the Indian is dependent on the Government supplies for +food and clothing, unless, like the white man, he resorts to +agriculture. In consequence, without any large display of military +force, the Indian agents are able to preserve excellent order on the +reservations. The Indians feel their dependence and recognize the +power of the Government. If fairly treated by the white man they will +give us little trouble hereafter. It is easy to see that +modifications in their condition, all looking toward civilization, +are constantly taking place. They are giving up their Indian dress. +It is now rare to find an Indian whose dress is not in some way +conformed to the white man's. They are learning the comforts of +civilization through the supplies from Government, and welcome the +frame house, the sugar and syrup, the flour and beans, the tools and +clothing which come to them from this source. They feel the pressure +of the white population crowding upon them from every side. They see +their wild life is a thing of the past, and while there are selfish, +vicious, superstitious and conservative influences strongly at work +against the change, still the change goes on. Their more thoughtful +men, perceiving the necessity of the change and recognizing its +advantage, are urging the establishment of schools and churches among +them. There can be little doubt that as these processes continue the +tribal relation will eventually cease, the reservation system will be +abandoned, the Indian will come under ordinary laws, he will be +assigned land in severalty, will cultivate it for his support, and +become citizen. Already this is true of many Indians, and the day is +not far distant--I venture to prophesy that it is within the next +twenty years--when, if these influences continue, the Indian will be +so thoroughly absorbed among his white brethren that as a separate +race he will be lost to sight, and the Indian question will be a +question no more. + +[Illustration: INDIAN IN NATIVE DRESS, FORT BERTHOLD.] + +A word now in explanation of the illustrations accompanying this +article. An Indian chief is prominent in the first cut. His son is on +horseback beside him. His wives and younger children are seated on +the ground. The influence of civilization already appears in the +dress of these people and in their use of cattle. The second cut +represents a small portion of the large burying-ground at Fort +Berthold. The wigwams in the third cut are mostly of skin, but +generally canvas furnished by the Government is now used. The +arrangement of poles and the desolate appearance of the tents +scattered here and there are true to life. In the sixth cut the heavy +earrings and necklace are of wampum and very valuable. The dress, +while cut in Indian fashion, is, like nearly all that the Indians now +wear, furnished by the Government. The Indian in the fifth cut wears +his hair long and tied up in two queues, with mink-skin pendants. His +constant companion, a pipe of red pipe-clay, is in his lap. The lodge +in the seventh cut admirably represents the peculiar homes of Fort +Berthold Indians. It is very large, and sometimes divided into +several rooms inside. It is well constructed as a protection against +the severe winters of Northern Dakota. + +[Illustration: INDIAN BOYS AT SANTEE NORMAL TRAINING SCHOOL.] + +On the top of the lodge an Indian is standing. For many years the +Indians of Fort Berthold have been accustomed thus to look out across +the Missouri, on the watch, lest their ancient enemies, the Sioux, +steal upon them unaware. Beside the Indian may be seen the wicker +framework of a "bull boator," skin coracle. The Indians can seize +these in a moment, run with them on their heads to the river, and +paddle across the Missouri with ease after a deer or a buffalo. In +the foreground is a _travoir_, or Indian wagon, made of two poles +with a pouch of leather thongs slung between them. A pony rather than +a dog ordinarily drags this. Another cut represents the Santee Indian +as he was a few years ago. He now lives in a comfortable log-house, +or often in a frame house given him by the Government. In the last +cut are very good likenesses of two girls who are now at the Normal +Training School sustained by the American Missionary Associates at +Santee. They are pure-blooded Indians. Their father is a chief at +Fort Berthold, who has turned from his wild life to become a regular +attendant at church and a thoughtful imitator of the white man's +ways. + +[Illustration: DAUGHTERS OF INDIAN CHIEF "POOR WOLF."] + +Two other cuts represent groups of school-children at Santee, all +Indians. The artist has not exaggerated the bright and attractive +look upon their faces. They come from all parts of Dakota and the +Santee Reservation. In the ninth cut is represented an Indian who, +with a white man's shirt, retains his native leggings, blanket, +necklace and tomahawk. + + * * * * * + +FORTY-FIVE YEARS IN WASHINGTON TERRITORY. + +REV. CUSHING EELS, D.D. + + +From August 1838, to Sept., 1883, a period of more than 45 +consecutive years, I was a resident of what is now Oregon and +Washington Territory. I spent the greater part of those years in what +is included in Washington Territory. + +I was employed during the first ten years in mission work under the +patronage of the American Board in behalf of the Spokane Indians. + +The massacre of Marcus Whitman, M.D., and others in the Walla Walla +Valley, Nov., 1847, was followed by war which necessitated the +removal in 1848 of all Protestants from the mission field east of the +Cascade Mountains. By military proclamation, June, 1848, the country +named was declared closed against missionaries. It remained thus +eleven years. June, 1859, by military proclamation, the Walla Walla +country was declared open for settlement. + +In July of that year I, as agent of the A. B. C. F. M., went to Walla +Walla to look after their interests. Standing beside the grave of the +distinguished patriot and martyr, Dr. Whitman, I purposed to attempt +the erection of a monument to his memory in the form of a school of +high Christian character. The following Spring, 1860, I commenced +work in fulfillment of the plan named. During the next 12 years the +execution of that plan was with me all-controlling. In pursuance of +said object I recently returned to my native New England. + +During my sojourn in Walla Walla from 1860 to 1872 I was favored with +opportunities for the measurable prosecution of evangelistic work +among the Spokane Indians. In May, 1872, my house at the place +formerly occupied by Dr. Whitman was consumed by fire. + +My elder son had previously been nominated by the American Missionary +Association as Indian agent and confirmed by Government. Previous to +his taking charge the Lord's day had been distinguished for the +performance of outlandish wickedness. With the new agent there was +change of employés. A weekly prayer meeting was appointed and +conducted. With a good degree of constancy it has been continued to +the present time. A Sunday-school was organized. It is continued with +sustained interest. + +Soon after the burning of my house in Walla Walla, Agent Eells +hastened thither and took his mother to his home. Early the following +autumn I joined dear ones at Skokomish. A new departure was named. In +pursuance thereof, with the interpreter, a devout Indian, I conducted +divine service at the Indian village. It was continued with +gratifying results. + +In July, 1874, a church composed of whites and Indians was organized. +I was chosen pastor. About that time my younger son, Rev. Myron +Eells, arrived at Skokomish, with the intention of making a brief +stop. To me my early Indian charge, the Spokanes, together with the +sparse white settlements in the vicinity, were attractive. I resigned +the charge at Skokomish. It was committed to Rev. M. Eells. The seed +of the word cast among Spokane Indians did not spring up quickly. It +had slow growth, but a rich harvest has been gathered. But I may not +enlarge. From my experience and observation the so-called peace +policy, when fairly tested, is a success. Connected therewith the +ideas and work of the A. M. A. are specially applicable to efforts +for the elevation of the Indian. In my judgment the vexed Indian +problem may thereby be solved--solved to the mutual profit of our +Government and the Indian. + + * * * * * + +THE CHINESE. + + * * * * * + +LETTER FROM OAKLAND, CAL. + +BY REV. GEO. MOOAR, D.D. + + +There is little more for me to do in noting down my observation of +the work of A. M. A. among the Chinese here than to indorse the +statements made by the Rev. Dr. McLean in the April number of this +magazine. As far as the school work for the Chinese in the English +language is concerned, the honor of beginning it belongs, I think, to +Mrs. Elizabeth L. Lynde, now deceased, a member of the First +Congregational Church in this city at the time. Her heart, which was +singularly alert in behalf of the neglected and unfortunate, set her +in the year 1867 to teaching two or three Chinese at her house. These +were servants in families. Meantime the boy employed in my own +house--since favorably known as our chief helper in missionary work, +Jee Gam--was spelling out, by the aid of my little girls and their +mother, the mysteries of our English language, and little by little +learning the great mystery of godliness. Interest deepened in the two +or three who were thus drawn together. So, Mrs. Lynde's little class +was transferred to our chapel, and soon became a prominent and +hopeful department of our Sunday-school. It was a rare pleasure given +me to receive, in 1870, the first three Chinamen known as admitted to +membership by confession of faith in an English-speaking church in +this land. + +For several years I had the opportunity of direct participation in +this new missionary movement, often taking my place as teacher of the +new alphabet and guide to the pronunciation of many unphonetic words. +At first there was novelty about it and it was comparatively easy to +obtain even the numerous teachers which this work requires. But as +the novelty wore off it became more difficult to find and keep +volunteers in sufficient numbers. Besides, a demand arose for more +than the hour of the Sunday-school service. The eagerness to learn +and the increasing acquisition of some called for a more constant and +continuous drill. So has come about the system of schools carried on, +under the American Missionary Association's appropriations and our +California gifts, by the "California Chinese Mission." + +I bear glad witness to the large measure of devotion with which this +work has been conducted. It is precisely the kind of work to bring +out the best qualities of Christian character in those who are +responsibly engaged in it. The motives for engaging in it drawn from +any other than the purest Christian fountains are few indeed. The men +and women, who, within my knowledge, have given their time and heart +to it, have long been among my "evidences of Christianity." To the +poor the Gospel has been preached by them. Several of those most +interested during the early years, as superintendents or teachers, +have been laid aside or have "gone home." But there can be no doubt +that the Master has said to them, "Inasmuch as ye did it unto the +least of my disciples, ye have done it unto me." + +For this is pre-eminently the work which makes its appeal to the few. +To sustain it pecuniarily as well as otherwise, must pertain to those +who give, hoping for nothing in kind again. Those here who would +give, perhaps, to help Africans on the Congo, cannot always be +appealed to in behalf of this cause. A worthy Christian friend who +has charge of a Sunday-school consulted me about a gift he was +interesting his scholars to make to some missionary. Whom could I +suggest? It was natural, being on this Pacific sea, to suggest a +laborer in northern China. It was amusing to see how quickly he +dropped my suggestion as if it were something very hot. Why, it would +not do at all to mention China in that school. It would kill his +darling missionary proposition completely. This illustrates not by +any means a universal feeling here, but a feeling which is quite too +prevalent. And there are many who would help to teach the Mongolians +if they were to be taught _where they belong_, who would be almost +offended to be asked to help in their education here. So all the more +admirable, in the face of public sentiment here, is it that so many +noble workers and givers have been found to sustain this work. For is +not this, of all others, the enterprise which "takes the gold right +out of the country?" + +I overheard an intelligent gentleman, a member of Congress, and born +in my native Massachusetts, express the duly considered opinion that +the Chinese mind is so organized that it cannot be expected to +entertain the Christian ideas. It illustrated the sad fact that it +takes a long time for even Americans to entertain and be molded by +those ideas. This gentleman might easily have found scores of humble +servants and laborers of this "unassimilable" race in his own city +who had come as truly in the power of Him, who is the Truth, as any +of us. For it is the testimony of all who are acquainted with the +facts that as large a proportion of those Chinese who take the +Christian name "adorn the doctrine" as do those who take that name +from among the Caucasian families. Indeed, the proportion may, +perhaps, be larger. For what can ordinarily induce a Chinaman to +espouse the Christian standing here unless it be the genuine +appreciation of Christian truth and the response of his heart to the +love of God as shown in the cross of Christ? + + * * * * * + +BUREAU OF WOMAN'S WORK. + +MISS D. E. EMERSON, SECRETARY. + + +Our readers will recall an article issued in this department of the +April "Missionary" entitled "A Plan with Reasons." We are happy to +report that a good many cheering words in approval of the plan have +reached us, and not a few of a practical character. We select from +the latter the following: + + +FROM NEW YORK. + +--I have received a delightful letter from our teacher at the Santee +Agency, and our Committee are much pleased with her account of her +work. I have directed our Treasurer to send to your A. M. A. +Treasurer the first quarterly payment on account of the $150 +appropriated, and trust it will reach you in due season. Our payments +will be made hereafter May 1, Aug. 1 and Nov. 1, as we are dependent +on our weekly collections, and hence cannot pay oftener than +quarterly. + +--Inclosed find $40 for two shares in support of a missionary +teacher, from whom we may receive a monthly letter. + + +FROM MASSACHUSETTS. + +--Inclosed please find $20. Our Ladies' Benevolent Society wish to +take one share in the expense of a lady missionary teacher, from whom +we shall enjoy letters, hoping in this way to call out more interest +in the work. + +--A recent circular from you was read to our ladies by our pastor's +wife, to whom it was sent. We have no separate organization for the +Am. Miss. Assoc. but our ladies contribute something to its +funds--though probably not enough to take a full share in the support +of a teacher. Encouraged by what you say in the circular, we write to +ask that we may be included in the list of those to whom monthly +letters will be sent, as promised to those who take one or more +shares. We are small and few, but the interest is genuine, and we +want to increase it. Our contribution goes into the general fund. + + +FROM MINNESOTA. + +--Last week, on a very stormy day, with less than twenty ladies +present, the subject of taking shares in the support of a missionary +teacher was introduced, and a little over $40 pledged, to be paid +before October. I felt very much encouraged, and shall do all I can +to increase the amount, though I am too much of a stranger--having +been here but a year--to have any idea what we can raise. You +promised us letters from our missionary if we took but one of the $20 +shares; so we shall hope to receive them. After another month I hope +to send you word about a much larger pledge. + +--Ours is a country church, laboring under the disadvantage of +constant depletion of our younger members; the twin cities of St. +Paul and Minneapolis are close by, and our broad frontier also +attracts strongly. Last year a determined few, by great exertion, +raised almost $100 for division among the Am. Board, A. H. M. S. and +A. M. A. The outlook is not encouraging for this year, and, as a +regular correspondent might add interest to our small meeting, we +voted yesterday to take one share; and should we succeed better than +we hope, our rule of division will give you one-third, whatever the +amount may be. We need more prayer for warm hearts and the open hand. + + +FROM OHIO. + +--We have been reading "A Plan, with the Reasons," and like it much. +We have a class of young girls in our church who ought to be in +missionary work. Can you give us a little fuller account of the work? +and do you have teachers among the poor white women of the South? +Please let us hear soon from you; we want an object to work for. We +may not be able to do very much, but would like to do something. + + * * * * * + +ALABAMA WOMAN'S MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION. + +MISS M. K. LUNT. + + +The annual meeting of the Alabama Woman's Missionary Association was +held in the prayer-room of the Congregational church in Montgomery, +Monday, March 31. The devotional exercises were conducted by the +President of the Association, Mrs. H. S. De Forest, who gave the +opening address, welcoming the members of the local societies, now +numbering seven. + +The reports of the Secretaries and delegates showed an increase of +interest, labor, and funds collected, as well as a constant growth in +missionary intelligence. + +Nearly all the societies have remembered the foreign work and the +Indians, in addition to their own needs and people, and have shown a +deep interest in the advancement of Christian education. + +Mrs. Ragland, the wife of one of the Talladega theologians, read a +paper upon Home Influence, the prominent points of which were filial +obedience, the important place the wife, mother, and daughter fill in +the home, and the importance of training the daughter in domestic +duties. + +Mrs. Ash, whose husband was an acceptable pastor in one of the A. M. +A. churches, and who not long since was called home, read a paper, +giving a comprehensive history of the work of the American Missionary +Association in the South, relating incidents connected with the +earlier teachings, and showing how the work had broadened, and +brought into the ranks the colored people. + +Mrs. Andrews, of Talladega, prepared a paper on the "Origin and +History of Our Alabama Movement in Woman's Work," read by Miss +Partridge, giving a full development of the organization and growth +of the society during its seven years' existence, and showing how +much greater results are accomplished by organized effort and unity +of action, and advising that the relation of this society as an +auxiliary to the W. H. M. A. of Boston be severed and become allied +to the Woman's Bureau of New York, which has the Southern field under +its special care; referring also to the interest, courtesy and +sympathy which the Boston society had always shown toward the Alabama +branch. + +Mrs. O. F. Curtis, of Emerald Grove, Wis., was present, who has two +sons in the South as missionaries and one on the foreign field--Rev. +W. W. Curtis, of Japan--who addressed the meeting on the condition of +the women and girls in that country; what is being done by the +missionaries to lead them to Christ; also speaking of the hindrances +to the Christian religion. + +This interesting meeting could not fail to awaken a deeper interest +in the hearts of all present, and we believe that no one left without +feeling that she had gained a new impulse to renewed consecration and +work for the Master. + + * * * * * + +SUNDAY-SCHOOL WORK AT TOUGALOO. + +MISS JOSEPHINE KELLOGG. + + +The Sunday-school of this Institution has always--under the present +management at least--been considered one of the most important, if +not the most important means of grace and spiritual enlightenment. +The power of sustained attention and consecutive thought is greatly +lacking in all untrained minds; hence the superiority of the +hand-to-hand question-and-answer method of the class-room over the +sermon as a means of informing the mind and clearing away the rubbish +of superstition and the misapprehensions of meaning, derived from the +ignorant preachers who have been in many cases the only previous +expounders of the word, and resulting also from a very vague and +limited understanding of the language of the Bible, the +preacher--even the teacher. + +It would be impossible for one new to the work to even _grasp at_ the +distorted images and superstitious misconceptions connected with +religious subjects in the minds of the more ignorant colored people +without the free interchange of personal conversation. So for years +the Sunday-school has been placed at the head of the Sabbath services +here, and given the forenoon, the review by the Superintendent +occupying the time of a short sermon, with the lesson for the day, +already explained and impressed by the several teachers, for its +text. Later in the day class prayer-meetings are held, and here young +Christians learn to take up the cross of bearing testimony for +Christ, and making audible prayer for themselves and others. Many of +the scholars feel these meetings to be very valuable. + +At the close of the school year a Sunday-school Convention is held, +and it is urged as a duty upon all Christian students who go out to +teach that they should organize and conduct Sabbath schools in +connection with their day schools. + +We have recently received two donations of library books, so that we +now have enough to go once around, and we loan them out each Sunday. +We also generally have papers to distribute, sent us by kind and +careful Sunday-school scholars in the North who make their papers do +double duty. If some school changing song-books would send our school +a hundred or more well-preserved copies of those they lay aside, it +would be a gift highly appreciated. + +One of our neighbors is a good Mother in Israel, who has always taken +a warm interest in this institution in all its departments and +appreciated its uplifting influence upon her people. She belongs to +one of the branches of the Methodist Church, and felt that she wanted +something done for the improvement and revival of interest in the +schools of that denomination in the vicinity. Accordingly, she worked +up a S. S. Convention among them last Fall, and invited Mr. Pope and +some others of us to go and help to make it profitable. We could not +get off until after dinner and might as well not have gone at all. +Soon after our entrance a young man introduced a resolution that +superintendents and teachers be _compelled_ to be at their schools at +the hour set for opening. One of the preachers rose and said that +teachers _could not_ be _compelled_, and moved as an amendment that +they be _acquired_ to come promptly. + +Then ensued along, windy, wordy controversy on "compelling" and +"acquiring." Seeing no prospect of a conclusion we withdrew. The good +auntie who had invited us followed us out in deep humiliation. I +said, we are sorry to go without contributing something to the +interest of the meeting, but this is such a waste of time, there is +no coming to the point. "That's jus' so, dear," she said, "but that +their ign'rance. Ign'rance _does_ waste time, honey. _Ign'rance can't +come to a pint._" That last sentence struck me as a piece of +epigrammatic wisdom. + + * * * * * + +CHILDREN'S PAGE + + * * * * * + +WONG NING'S IDEAS + +AS EXPRESSED BY HIMSELF. + + + [Wong Ning is no imaginary character. He is a real + flesh-and-blood Chinese boy, living in San Francisco, and much + interested in the new and many sided life going on about him. So + we are glad to give you, in his own words, a few of his + observations on American life and manners.] + +My name is Wong Ning. I born on home China, come to this country when +thirteen years old, and been here now seven year. + +Little boy have very hard time on home China. Have to get up and go +to school at six o'clock--very early that--come home, get breakfast +at eight o'clock, and lunch at twelve o'clock; then stay till six +o'clock in the day. I no think American boy like that! + +Little girl no go to school _at all_! Very funny, that! Have one big +house, on home China, where all the girls go every day; learn to sew, +make the pretty things, the flowers, the birds, everything! by the +needle. Little girl no speak to the boy--no! never! on home China. + +On home China every one like the mother very much; give everything to +she. If a China boy no like the mother, no work hard for she, no send +she everything--Oh! horrible! _very bad!_ All the sons marry, bring +home the wife to wait on she. Not like the wife so much as the +mother, on home China. + +The woman--the wife, the mother, the little girl--all work in the +house--sew, cook, make the cloth, everything! When they make the +dinner or the lunch, set the table very nice, put on everything; then +run behind the curtain (no have any door on home China), and then the +man--the father, the son, the little boy--all come in, sit down, eat +the dinner; eat him all up. Pretty soon, by and by, the woman--the +mother, the wife, the little girl--come quiet, lift up the curtain. +If he all gone, can come eat; if no, can not come. _Yes! Sure!_ + +I go to school at night, learn to read and write; I think English +very hard. I been work for the Jew family, the Irish family, and the +Spanish family. I think my English get too much funny--so many kinds +of language. Now I work for the American family; like it more better. + +I been here so long, and go to school so much, that I understand the +English more better than China. _Very funny that!_ When my cousin, at +the wash-house, send me the letter to come take dinner with he, he +have to write it in English, and the lady I work for, she laugh very +much. + +I get one letter this morning. (My American name Charley). Here the +letter: + + "Mr. Chily, you Please come to Kum Lee this evening to take + dinder, because Lee chong go to home China this week. Ah Do and + Ah Sing all come in to if soon as you can good by WONG VOO." + +I know plenty stories about on home China. You ever hear about Kong +foo-too?--American call him Confucius--he very great man. + +Maybe you like, I tell you one story. He live about two, three +thousand year ago, _yes!_ _sure!_ He travel every city, teach +Chinaman--that very good. + +One city he no came--that Canton--one very big place inside three big +walls. Kong-foo-too, or Confucius, he come to Canton, and try to come +in the gate--very big gate. + +One little boy there seven years old. I think that little boy too +smart. He making play of a little city, and building three little +walls around it, all the same like Canton. He took up too much room, +and talk too smart, so that Confucius cannot get in. + +He watch him a little while, then he say, "I guess Canton all right; +this boy can teach Canton. I go some other place." _That very bad!_ +Next year that boy died--_very strange that_! So Canton never get any +teaching, not from boy, not from Kong-foo-too. I think not very good +for little boy to be too smart.--_St. Nicholas._ + + * * * * * + +RECEIPTS FOR APRIL, 1884. + + * * * * * + +MAINE, $257.77. + + Augusta. "J. S."

Crittenton_: + +DEAR SIR: I wish to call your attention to the good your Sulphur Soap +has done me. For nearly fourteen years I have been troubled with a +skin humor resembling salt rheum. I have spent nearly a small fortune +for doctors and medicine, but with only temporary relief. I commenced +using your "Glenn's Sulphur Soap" nearly two years ago--used it in +baths and as a toilet soap daily. My skin is now as clear as an +infant's, and no one would be able to tell that I ever had a skin +complaint. I would not be without the soap if it cost five times the +amount. + + Yours respectfully, + + M. H. MORRIS. + LICK HOUSE, San Francisco, Cal. + + +The above testimonial is indisputable evidence that Glenn's Sulphur +Soap will eliminate poisonous Skin Diseases WHEN ALL OTHER MEANS HAVE +FAILED. To this fact thousands have testified; and that it will +banish lesser afflictions, such as common PIMPLES, ERUPTIONS and +SORES, and keep the skin clear and beautiful, is absolutely certain. +For this reason ladies whose complexions have been improved by the +use of this soap NOW MAKE IT A CONSTANT TOILET APPENDAGE. The genuine +always bears the name of C. N. CRITTENTON, 115 Fulton street, New +York, sole proprietor. For sale by all druggists or mailed to any +address on receipt of 30 cents in stamps, or three cakes for 75 +cents. + + * * * * * + +BRADFORD ACADEMY, + + AN INSTITUTION FOR THE HIGHER EDUCATION OF YOUNG WOMEN. + BRADFORD, MASS. + INCORPORATED 1804. + +[Illustration] + + +CALENDAR + +The year 1883-84 closes with public anniversary, June 18, 1884. + +THE YEAR 1884-85. + + FIRST TERM opens TUESDAY, Sept. 2, 1884. + FIRST TERM closes WEDNESDAY, Nov. 26, 1884. + SECOND TERM opens TUESDAY, Dec. 2, 1884. + + Recess at Christmas time. + + SECOND TERM closes FRIDAY, Feb. 27, 1885. + THIRD TERM opens TUESDAY, March 17, 1885. + THIRD TERM closes WEDNESDAY, June 17, 1885. + +The academic year closes on the last Wednesday but one in June, and +consists of three terms. + +The year 1884-85 will commence on the first Tuesday in September. + + +[Illustration: PARLOR OF A SUITE.] + + +EXPENSES. + + BOARD, including washing, fuel and lights, + FIRST TERM $80.00 + BOARD, including washing, fuel and lights, + SECOND TERM 90.00 + BOARD, including washing, fuel and lights, + THIRD TERM 90.00 + TUITION, including English branches, + Latin and French, Greek or German, + and Vocal Music in Classes ($20 per + term), for the year 60.00 + ------- + Total expenses for the year $320.00 + +Special terms to daughters of Clergymen and Missionaries. + + * * * * * + +No extras except the following: + +TUITION IN MUSIC AND ART: + + Instruction on Piano, per term $20 to $40 + + Use of Piano one hour a day, per term 3.00 + + Instruction in Art, including Linear + and Perspective Drawing and Painting, + according to the ability of the pupil, + per term 16.00 + + +Application may be made to Miss ANNIE E.

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.

We +must again remind our friends that it is necessary to largely +increase our collections and donations or incur a debt.</p> + +<hr class="section" /> + +<h3>OUR ILLUSTRATED ARTICLE.</h3> + +<p>It gives us pleasure to place before our readers in this number an +illustrated article on our Dakota Mission. The plates were prepared +for the use jointly of the <span class="smcap">Illustrated Christian Weekly</span> and the +<span class="smcap">American Missionary</span>. The article was written by Rev. Addison P. +Foster, one of our Executive Committee who visited the mission last +year. The popularity of the Indian number of the <span class="smcap">Missionary</span> which we +issued in April, 1883, leads us to hope that this number will be +welcomed and preserved for use as occasion may offer.</p> + +<hr class="section" /> + +<h3>OUR INDIAN MISSIONS.</h3> + +<p>Nine schools, with 356 pupils; five churches, with 271 members; five +stations; thirteen missionaries; thirty-seven teachers, are the +statistics. The churches are Congregational, and the church and +school go hand in hand. A careful survey of the necessities of these +missions was made early in the year, and the estimate called for an +appropriation of about $30,000. Repairs and improvements in old +buildings and construction of<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_162" id="Page_162">[Pg 162]</a></span> new buildings, imperatively demanded +for the efficient prosecution of the work, forbade a lower estimate.</p> + +<p>In surrendering our African missions, obedient to the voice of the +churches that our appeal might be simplified, we gave up the proceeds +of invested funds that in large part sustained that work; while in +receiving from the American Board its Indian missions, there was +placed just so much additional demand upon our treasury. Our +inevitable outlook was a trilemma—either enlarged receipts, or +retrenchment, or debt.</p> + +<p>We therefore sent to about fifteen hundred Congregational ministers +in February last a printed circular asking:</p> + +<p>First—Shall we raise this year $30,000 for our mission work among +the Indians?</p> + +<p>Second—Will you aid, and how?</p> + +<p>Up to date we have received 206 replies. To the first question the +answers are nearly all in the affirmative; most of them strong and +positive, a few cautious and questioning.</p> + +<p>To the second, 33 responded with immediate contributions; 43 promised +an increase in the regular church collections, 71 a special +contribution from the missionary concert, and 3 the proceeds of a +lecture.</p> + +<p>The replies are representative. Ministers in charge of the strong +churches, and those in charge of the weaker, speak the same language +of encouragement. "Go ahead." "Forward! is the word." "We will back +you." "It is no more than fair that those who have hitherto sustained +these Indian missions through the A. B. C. F. M. should now turn +their hand into the A. M. A. to increase its funds for this work." +"Thirty thousand dollars will do more and better work than so many +muskets." "We love your work and will aid you all we can." Such are +the sentiments these letters breathe. From all parts of the country +they come. California strikes hands with Massachusetts, Washington +Territory and Utah range themselves with Florida, all of them wishing +us God-speed, and promising help in our Indian work. We are glad to +have received such encouragement as these letters give, and sincerely +thank our brethren who took the trouble and time to answer our +inquiries. We trust that none of them will fail to see that the +promises are fulfilled. There will be in some cases need of special +remembrance. Interests crowd in these days. Even what is lawful and +regular has to fight for recognition. There are others who have not +answered our questions, upon whose co-operation to bring up that +$30,000 we also rely. We hope that as they read these lines their +eyes will detect the special appeal, implied, though not expressed, +that is here made to them. We commend anew the claims of these +important missions to our friends, and again remind them that if we +are to worthily do this enlarged work they must come up to our help +with enlarged contributions.</p> +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_163" id="Page_163">[Pg 163]</a></span></p> +<hr class="section" /> + +<h3>OUR SPRING ASSOCIATIONS.</h3> + +<div class="center">REV. J. E. ROY, D.D.</div> + +<p>There were four of them, those of Alabama, at Montgomery; of +Louisiana, at New Orleans; of Mississippi, at Meridian; and of North +Carolina, at Dudley. The first three came the first part of April; +the last came the 1st of May. Alabama received two new ministers, +Revs. A. J. Headen and C. L. Harris, and two new churches, those of +Birmingham and Tecumseh, places of large iron and coal interests. +Louisiana received the Church of Chocahula and Rev. Byron Gunner. The +meetings of Alabama have come to the dignity of State Anniversaries, +those of the Sunday-school Association, of the Association of +Churches, and of the Woman's Missionary Association, which this year +transferred its auxiliaryship from the Boston W. H. M. A. to the +Woman's Bureau of the A. M. A. The Sunday-school body took a day for +its reports, addresses and discourses. Among other valuable +contributions was that of Mrs. Ash, widow of the late Rev. W. H. Ash, +upon the dress and deportment of the teacher. The body representing +the churches and the ministers came up to its own high-water mark of +intellectual force and spiritual tone. Among the practical subjects +discussed was that of the relation of the churches toward secret +societies. In the whole discussion not a word was offered in defense +of the clandestine orders. It would have done Brother Fee good to +have heard the fearless discussion. The church of Montgomery, under +the care of Rev. R. C. Bedford, was found in a prosperous condition, +ten members being received during the sessions of the body. Prof. G. +W. Andrews, an early pastor of the church, had the pleasure of +baptizing into the church a lad of thirteen, who had been named after +himself, George Whitefield. Prof. Andrews also delivered an address +upon the Mission of Congregationalism in the South, which was the +feature of the week of services. Upon invitation three of the leading +white churches of the city were supplied on the Lord's Day, those of +Dr. Petrie, First Presbyterian, Dr. Andrew, First Methodist, and Dr. +Woodfin, First Baptist—the service being rendered by Revs. O. W. +Fay, G. W. Andrews and J. E. Roy. Four white families extended +hospitality and four white pastors came into the meetings. And so +recognition is coming along.</p> + +<p>The Louisiana Association met with Rev. Isaac Hall's church, which +with paint and fresco had put its house of worship into beautiful +condition. Dr. W. S. Alexander was elected Moderator for the eighth +year. A member of his church, a converted Catholic, was licensed that +he might preach among the French-speaking colored people in the city +of New Orleans. The account of his conversion was extremely +interesting, showing how, by the word of God, he had worked out of +Romish superstitions and had "found out what it was to be born +again." During the sessions,<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_164" id="Page_164">[Pg 164]</a></span> by a proper Council, Mr. Byron Gunner, +of the Theological Department of Talladega College, was examined and +ordained to serve as pastor at New Iberia, the place where the +Acadians settled and Whittier's "Evangeline" drifted in search of her +lover. Dr. Alexander preached the sermon and Rev. R. C. Bedford, of +Montgomery, gave the charge. The venerable brother, Rev. Daniel Clay, +preached the opening sermon on the text, "Fear not, little flock, for +it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom."</p> + +<p>The whole body was at the Boarding Hall of the Straight University +for a lunch, when the President made the members a fine present of +books from a Northern society.</p> + +<p>The meeting of the Mississippi body was the second, and it revealed a +maturing process. President Pope and Professor Hatch represented +Tougaloo University—the president preaching a sermon on Christian +Industry, and the professor reading a capital paper on Revivals. Rev. +C. L. Harris, of Jackson, preached the opening sermon. He is finding +a wide and effectual door at the Capital of the State. Pastor Grice, +at Meridian, is encouraged by the assistance of Miss M. E. Green, a +lady missionary. Miss A. D. Gerrish serves in the same capacity at +New Orleans. At the meeting in the last named city, Miss E. B. Emery, +from Maine, gave an impressive talk upon Woman's Mission Work. Misses +Sperry and Wilcox, teachers, followed with words of confirmation. In +Mississippi three or four promising fields are opening for the School +and Church process, and these will be entered and occupied as soon as +may be.</p> + +<p>The Old North State held its fifth annual meeting on the first four +days of May, at Dudley. This was a place at which the colored people, +during the Ku-Klux terror, "refugeed," making there a stand for +life—the hunted creatures at bay. Early the A. M. A. opened here its +Mission School and Church. Difficulties, peculiar to the +heterogeneous material thus gathered, have gradually been overcome, +until now the gospel is in the ascendant as an assimilating force. +The church and school under Rev. J. E. B. Jewett and his wife, of +Pepperell, Mass., are in a high degree of prosperity. The New England +Academy Principal seems especially adapted to these children of toil. +The Association had the round of discussions, essays, devotional +meetings. The National Council and the annual meeting of the A. M. A. +were duly reported. The new Confession of Faith was heartily +approved. A memorial service for the late Rev. Islay Walden, a native +of North Carolina, was a marked feature of the occasion. The great +work he had accomplished for his people in so short a time was +instructive and encouraging to the other young ministers, and to the +young people of the Assembly. Mrs. Elenora Walden continues the +school work of her husband, greatly confided in by<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_165" id="Page_165">[Pg 165]</a></span> the people. Rev. +Zachariah Simmons takes up the pastoral work. Three delegates from +Strieby and Troy had <i>walked</i> 130 miles for want of money to pay the +railroad fare. Three new school-house churches were reported—those +of Pekin, Oaks and Hillsboro, the last two having been dedicated by +the Field Superintendent on the Saturday and Sunday previous. Sermons +were preached by Revs. D. D. Dodge, G. S. Smith (Moderator), J. E. +Roy and Z. Simmons. Deacon Henry Clay Jones, of Raleigh, made a +flaming temperance speech, claiming that 60,000 Prohibition voters +held the balance of power, which, as a third party, could and should +overmaster the 100,000 majority that went against home protection.</p> + +<hr class="section" /> + +<h3>REMEMBER THE POOR.</h3> + +<p>When Paul and Barnabas were about to set forth to labor among the +heathen, Cephas, James and John gave them the right hand of +fellowship with a charge included in these words: "Only that they +would remember the poor." How they should do it had been indicated by +Him who said of his own labors "the poor have the gospel preached to +them."</p> + +<p>The expression "the poor" is comprehensive. All human wants relate to +it. The poverty of some, however, is more complete than that of +others, and the poorest have early, if not the first, claim to +attention. The Pauls and Barnabases of our times may justly listen to +appeals which arise from the following conditions:</p> + +<p>1. Ignorance. In this country it may be said ignorance is the mother +of poverty. Indeed, ignorance is one of the worst forms of poverty. +Intelligence among the masses, coupled with true religion, would soon +abolish it. Whatever is lacking of knowledge of God, of what He has +promised, of what He has made for us, of what we can do for +ourselves, must be supplied. It was an observation of Dean Stanley +that we ought to teach the heathen how to count three before +attempting to instruct them as to the doctrine of the Trinity. The +great Preacher was the great Teacher also. If there be the greatest +ignorance South, the appeal from the South to us to remember the poor +is urgent and imperative.</p> + +<p>2. Poverty. Where a large proportion of the people can neither read +nor write, there nothing but a fractional supply for human wants is +to be expected. Inadequate buildings meagerly furnished, insufficient +clothing for the young, lack of medical care and neglect of the aged +and infirm—these are evil conditions only too common all over the +South, rendering much that ministers to a thrifty and manly character +impossible, as things are now. Where there is the greatest sickness, +privation and want, there apostles to the poor have legitimate field +for labor. Is there any such field in our country as that presented +at the South?</p> + +<p>3. Vice. It is admitted that ignorance and poverty beget vice. +According to recent statistics, gathered from the whole country, it +is shown<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_166" id="Page_166">[Pg 166]</a></span> that the illiterate classes commit more than ten times +their pro rata of crime. The missionary must stay the progress of +vice, drying up its sources as best he may, and uncapping the +fountains of life. To do this he must impart knowledge and preach the +gospel.</p> + +<p>If, in consequence of the ignorance and poverty of the people South, +there is vice and crime unparalleled in the annals of our country; if +these things combined constitute a poverty unknown elsewhere in the +land when estimated by its extent, then those who seek the poorest +will not neglect the millions in the Southern States.</p> + +<p>It is our work, as an Association, to do what we can to render these +people the help needful. Will not the friends of Christ help us +"remember the poor?"</p> + +<hr class="section" /> + +<p><span class="smcap">Christian Educators in Council</span> is the title of a pamphlet of 266 +pages, giving full report of sixty addresses by American educators at +Ocean Grove last August, arranged topically as follows: I.

ADDISON P. FOSTER.</div> + + +<p>It was my rare good fortune last summer to spend nearly a month in a +trip of investigation among the Dakota Indians. A record of +observations thus made may perhaps be of interest.</p> + +<p>Across the Missouri, in Northern Nebraska, is a reservation about +twelve miles square on which are located the Santees. These Indians +came originally from Minnesota, and were concerned in the terrible +New Ulm massacre there. This was years ago. After that bloody +outbreak a large number of Indians were imprisoned. While thus +incarcerated they were deeply moved by the truths of religion. The +long and faithful labors of Drs. Riggs and Williamson bore fruit, and +very many were truly converted. These Minnesota Indians were +subsequently removed, a portion to the Sisseton Agency, a portion to +Flandreau, and a portion to the Santee Agency. At this last-named +spot the Indians are practically civilized. They wear the white man's +dress; they cultivate farms of their own; they sustain two churches, +one Episcopal and one Congregational, the latter having its excellent +native pastor and an outlying chapel where the native deacons conduct +meetings in turn; they have recently, to the number of fifty, taken +up land under the homestead laws and now own them in fee simple. +There are three boarding schools on the reservation, one sustained by +the American Missionary Association and in the charge of the Rev. A. +L. Riggs, another sustained by the Episcopalians,<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_172" id="Page_172">[Pg 172]</a></span> under the +jurisdiction of Bishop Hare, and a third supported by the Government, +of which Rev. Charles Seccombe, a Congregationalist, is principal. +The work in all these schools is admirable. The children are neat, +intelligent, attractive, orderly, and studious, and while not as far +advanced nor as quick, will compare favorably with the children of +schools among white people. The development of Indian character under +these Christianizing influences was remarkably shown in a visit to +one of the cottages on the mission. Here dwell one of the native +teachers, her mother and grandmother. The aged grandmother in her +whole appearance bespoke the wild Indian. Gray and bent with age, she +loved best to sit on the floor in a corner, after the fashion of her +people. The mother, a comely matron of perhaps forty-five, was +evidently more cultivated, was lady-like in her appearance, and had +lines of thoughtfulness on her thin face. The work of civilization +had made great advance in her. But the daughter, a young lady of +eighteen, well educated, knowing only the ways of civilization, was +as thoroughly refined and bright and attractive as the young ladies +of our own Christian homes.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 667px;"> +<img src="images/img186.jpg" width="667" height="191" alt="INDIAN BURYING GROUND." title="" /> +<span class="caption">INDIAN BURYING GROUND.</span> +</div> + +<p>At Oahe, fifteen miles west of Pierre, Dakota Territory, is a second +mission station, under the charge of the American Missionary +Association. Up and down the river, on what is known as the Peoria +Bottom, are perhaps a hundred families of Indians, each living on +their own homesteads, off reservation limits, cultivating their +farms, dwelling in comfortable log-houses, dressed in civilized garb, +and showing as much neatness and industry as the average white man. +These people are recognized as citizens and are voters. They have a +neat chapel, a native pastor, sustain admirable prayer-meetings—a +woman's prayer-meeting among them—and live good reputable lives. In +this spot and at Santee Agency the Indian is seen at<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_173" id="Page_173">[Pg 173]</a></span> his best. Life +and property are respected, the land is fairly tilled, the homes are +happy, intelligence is general, and religion is the universal +motive-power.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 568px;"> +<img src="images/img187.jpg" width="568" height="376" alt="WIGWAMS AMONG THE SIOUX." title="" /> +<span class="caption">WIGWAMS AMONG THE SIOUX.</span> +</div> + +<p>On the west side of the Missouri in Dakota lies the great Sioux +Reservation, containing 8,000 Indians at the Pine Ridge Agency, +nearly 8,000 at the Rosebud Agency, 1,500 of the Lower Brule Indians, +3,000 along the Cheyenne River and northward, and nearly 4,000 on the +Standing Rock Agency. It was my fortune to visit a number of villages +on the Cheyenne, Morrow, and Grand Rivers and at Standing Rock. The +Indians at these places are all wild—that is, still wear blankets, +breech-cloths, and leggings, feathers and geegaws, do little toward +cultivating the land, and are ignorant heathen. A Sabbath in a +village on the Cheyenne showed what wild Indians were. The morning +opened with two men disguised in buffalo-skins with the heads on, +running through the village. They had had a dream, were supposed to +be possessed of spirits, and as they chased the villagers all ran +from them, affrighted lest some witchcraft be wrought by them. +Presently the church-bell rang at the missionary's tent, and fifty +Indians came in, gaudy in paints and wampum, ornaments, and dangling +queues tied up with mink-skins, the chief wearing a broken down +beaver hat with a faded weed upon it, and the rest supplied with fans +of eagles' wings, pipes, and other accompaniments of Indian +gentlemen. They listened with occasional grunts of approval during +worship, and filed out at the close with a cordial handshake, one +remaining, named from his height Touch-the-Clouds, to say that he +felt the importance of this new way, and that he wished for himself +and his people schools and churches. This was encouraging, but as the +evening came on there set up a hideous noise; a dance was in +progress, and all night long a relay of three Indians kept up the +hideous and monotonous tom-tom of their kettle-drums, while the +shrill scream of the women pierced the air.</p> +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_174" id="Page_174">[Pg 174]</a></span></p> +<p>The next morning were things equally painful. A young Indian woman, +with four children to care for, put away by her cruel husband for +another wife, came to beg the missionary's influence to secure for +her Government rations. A tent hard by was visited, where the family, +in accordance with Indian superstitions, were gathering, and had been +for a year or two, all sorts of valuable articles for presents in +honor of some deceased member of the household, intending by-and-by +to distribute all these things, leaving themselves beggared. And last +of all, in a neighboring village were seen three men and a boy, clad +with a few feathers in their hair, and yellow ochre on their bodies, +going through mummeries in the sight of a large company. They were +"making mystery," whatever that may be.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 461px;"> +<img src="images/img188.jpg" width="461" height="556" alt="INDIAN GIRLS AT SANTEE NORMAL TRAINING SCHOOL." title="" /> +<span class="caption">INDIAN GIRLS AT SANTEE NORMAL TRAINING SCHOOL.</span> +</div> + +<p>At Standing Rock were Sitting Bull and Chief Gall, with their bands. +Not many years ago they had been on the war path; they were concerned +in the Custer massacre; but now they are in wholesome awe of the +Government and dependent on Government favor for daily bread. +Consequently they are orderly and peaceable, and though a few years +since it would have been dangerous for three unarmed men to pass +through their reservations, it was perfectly safe last summer<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_175" id="Page_175">[Pg 175]</a></span> for a +missionary speaking the Indian language and his friends.</p> + +<div class="figleft" style="width: 380px;"> +<img src="images/img189.jpg" width="380" height="449" alt="INDIAN IN NATIVE DRESS, FORT BERTHOLD." title="" /> +<span class="caption">INDIAN IN NATIVE DRESS, FORT BERTHOLD.</span> +</div> + +<p>A third class of Indians was found at Fort Berthold. This reservation +is a hundred miles north of Bismarck, Dakota Territory, on the east +side of the Missouri. There are three small tribes combined in one +large village for protection against their ancient enemies the Sioux, +namely, the Arickarees, the Mandans, and the Gros Ventres. These +Indians have latterly made great advances in civilization. They have +800 acres under cultivation, all looking admirably and well fenced +in, and they are taking great pride in their work and asking for more +land to cultivate. They have comfortable homes, or "lodges," as they +are called, made in an octagonal form, of logs completely covered +with earth. They are eagerly obtaining from the Government such +comforts of civilization as they can—reapers, cooking-stoves, +baking-powder, and the like. And yet this people display some of the +grossest elements of savagery. Polygamy is common. The disgusting +scaffold burials still go on, and the air in the neighborhood of the +village is sometimes foul from the adjacent cemetery. Buffalo heads +and poles with red streamers, as offerings or invocations to spirits, +surmount many of the lodges and bear witness to the heathenism of the +people. Many of the men are terribly scarred on the shoulders, breast +and arms with the cruel practices of the sun dance. Men and women +alike wear the dress of their savage life. There has been as yet +little success from schools or church work. Few care for schools, and +the attendance at the mission chapel is not large. The fault, +however, is not with the devoted missionaries, Rev. C. L. Hall and +his helpers of the American Missionary Association, whose +faithfulness is unsurpassed, but with bad white men who visit the +village. For years these Indians have been brought in contact with +some of the worst influences of civilization, and in consequence the +women have become gross, the men have lost their sense of honor, and +the people are manifestly more degraded and harder to reach than the +wild Indians on the Sioux Reservation.</p> + +<p>After observation of these three types of Indians, the Christianized, +the wild and the polluted, certain conclusions were inevitable.</p> + +<p>1. There is a natural nobility in the Indian character. The Indian is +debased by heathenism and his wild life, lazy, improvident, filthy, +obscene and cruel; and<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_176" id="Page_176">[Pg 176]</a></span> yet he is well endowed by nature with brains +and heart and conscience. He is clear-headed and generous; he is +often affectionate in his family; he is capable of becoming +industrious, conscientious, scholarly, and thoroughly consecrated. If +his wild life has affected him unfavorably, it has not done him the +same kind of harm that slavery has to the colored man. He is not +crushed in spirit and ambition as was the colored slave at the time +of the civil war.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 480px;"> +<img src="images/img190a.jpg" width="480" height="370" alt="INDIAN WOMAN AT FORT BERTHOLD." title="" /> +<span class="caption">INDIAN WOMAN AT FORT BERTHOLD.</span> +</div> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 570px;"> +<img src="images/img190b.jpg" width="570" height="439" alt="INDIAN LODGE AT FORT BERTHOLD." title="" /> +<span class="caption">INDIAN LODGE AT FORT BERTHOLD.</span> +</div> + +<p>2. There, as elsewhere, the gospel proves the most efficient +instrumentality. The United States Government is doing a noble work +for the elevation of<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_177" id="Page_177">[Pg 177]</a></span> the race by introducing the agencies of +civilization. The Indian agents in Dakota are, as a rule, noble men, +vieing with the missionaries in endeavors to benefit the race. The +Board of Indian Commissioners are deserving of all praise for their +great services. The present system of Government management in +establishing schools, in encouraging agriculture, in discountenancing +savage practices, in stimulating the home-life, is most admirable. +But Christian efforts are yet more efficacious.

It cannot be questioned that we have come to a new stage in Indian +affairs. At last there is throughout the country almost complete +control of the wild Indians. The day of Indian wars is over. We may +very likely never have another. Now that the buffalo has largely +disappeared, the Indian is dependent on the Government supplies for +food and clothing, unless, like the white man, he resorts to +agriculture. In consequence, without any large display of military +force, the Indian agents are able to preserve excellent order on the +reservations. The Indians feel their dependence and recognize the +power of the Government. If fairly treated by the white man they will +give us little trouble hereafter. It is easy to see that +modifications in their condition, all looking toward civilization, +are constantly taking place. They are giving up their Indian dress. +It is now rare to find an Indian whose dress is not in some way +conformed to the white<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_178" id="Page_178">[Pg 178]</a></span> man's. They are learning the comforts of +civilization through the supplies from Government, and welcome the +frame house, the sugar and syrup, the flour and beans, the tools and +clothing which come to them from this source. They feel the pressure +of the white population crowding upon them from every side. They see +their wild life is a thing of the past, and while there are selfish, +vicious, superstitious and conservative influences strongly at work +against the change, still the change goes on. Their more thoughtful +men, perceiving the necessity of the change and recognizing its +advantage, are urging the establishment of schools and churches among +them. There can be little doubt that as these processes continue the +tribal relation will eventually cease, the reservation system will be +abandoned, the Indian will come under ordinary laws, he will be +assigned land in severalty, will cultivate it for his support, and +become citizen. Already this is true of many Indians, and the day is +not far distant—I venture to prophesy that it is within the next +twenty years—when, if these influences continue, the Indian will be +so thoroughly absorbed among his white brethren that as a separate +race he will be lost to sight, and the Indian question will be a +question no more.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 526px;"> +<img src="images/img192.jpg" width="526" height="536" alt="INDIAN IN NATIVE DRESS, FORT BERTHOLD." title="" /> +<span class="caption">INDIAN IN NATIVE DRESS, FORT BERTHOLD.</span> +</div> + +<p>A word now in explanation of the illustrations accompanying this +article. An Indian chief is prominent in the first cut. His son is on +horseback beside him. His wives and younger children are seated on +the ground. The influence of civilization already appears in the +dress of these people and in their use of cattle. The second cut +represents a small portion of the large burying-ground at Fort +Berthold. The wigwams in the third cut are mostly of skin, but +generally canvas furnished by the Government is now used. The +arrangement of poles and the desolate appearance of the tents +scattered here and there are true to life. In the sixth cut the heavy +earrings and necklace are of wampum and very valuable. The dress, +while cut in Indian fashion, is, like nearly all that the Indians now +wear, furnished by the Government. The Indian in the fifth cut wears +his hair long and tied up in two queues, with mink-skin pendants. His +constant companion, a pipe of red pipe-clay, is in his lap. The lodge +in the seventh cut admirably represents the peculiar homes of Fort +Berthold Indians.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_179" id="Page_179">[Pg 179]</a></span> It is very large, and sometimes divided into +several rooms inside.

In the last +cut are very good likenesses of two girls who are now at the Normal +Training School sustained by the American Missionary Associates at +Santee. They are pure-blooded Indians.

CUSHING EELS, D.D.</div> + + +<p>From August 1838, to Sept., 1883, a period of more than 45 +consecutive years, I was a resident of what is now Oregon and +Washington Territory. I spent the greater part of those years in what +is included in Washington Territory.</p> + +<p>I was employed during the first ten years in mission work under the +patronage of the American Board in behalf of the Spokane Indians.</p> + +<p>The massacre of Marcus Whitman, M.D., and others in the Walla Walla +Valley, Nov., 1847, was followed by war which necessitated the +removal in 1848 of all Protestants from the mission field east of the +Cascade Mountains. By military proclamation, June, 1848, the country +named was declared closed against missionaries. It remained thus +eleven years. June, 1859, by military proclamation, the Walla Walla +country was declared open for settlement.</p> + +<p>In July of that year I, as agent of the A. B. C. F. M., went to Walla +Walla to look after their interests. Standing beside the grave of the +distinguished patriot and martyr, Dr. Whitman, I purposed to attempt +the erection of a monument to his memory in the form of a school of +high Christian character. The following Spring, 1860, I commenced +work in fulfillment of the plan named. During the next 12 years the +execution of that plan was with me all-controlling. In pursuance of +said object I recently returned to my native New England.</p> + +<p>During my sojourn in Walla Walla from 1860 to 1872 I was favored with +opportunities for the measurable prosecution of evangelistic work +among the Spokane Indians. In May, 1872, my house at the place +formerly occupied by Dr. Whitman was consumed by fire.</p> + +<p>My elder son had previously been nominated by the American Missionary +Association as Indian agent and confirmed by Government. Previous to +his taking charge the Lord's day had been distinguished for the +performance of outlandish wickedness. With the new agent there was +change of employés. A weekly prayer meeting was appointed and +conducted. With a good degree of constancy it has been continued to +the present time. A Sunday-school was organized. It is continued with +sustained interest.</p> + +<p>Soon after the burning of my house in Walla Walla, Agent Eells +hastened thither and took his mother to his home. Early the following +autumn I joined dear ones at Skokomish. A new departure was named. In +pursuance thereof, with the interpreter, a devout Indian, I conducted +divine service at the Indian village. It was continued with +gratifying results.</p> + +<p>In July, 1874, a church composed of whites and Indians was organized. +I was chosen pastor. About that time my younger son, Rev. Myron +Eells, arrived at Skokomish, with the intention of making a brief +stop. To me my early Indian charge, the Spokanes, together with the +sparse white settlements in the vicinity, were attractive. I resigned +the charge at Skokomish. It was committed to Rev. M. Eells. The seed +of the word cast among Spokane Indians did not spring up quickly. It +had slow growth, but a rich harvest has been gathered. But I may not +enlarge. From my experience and observation the so-called peace +policy, when fairly tested, is a success. Connected therewith the +ideas and work of the A. M. A. are specially applicable to efforts +for the elevation of the Indian. In my judgment the vexed Indian +problem may thereby be solved—solved to the mutual profit of our +Government and the Indian.</p> +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_182" id="Page_182">[Pg 182]</a></span></p> +<hr class="section" /> + +<h2>THE CHINESE.</h2> + +<hr class="quarter" /> + +<h3>LETTER FROM OAKLAND, CAL.</h3> + +<div class="center">BY REV. GEO. MOOAR, D.D.</div> + + +<p>There is little more for me to do in noting down my observation of +the work of A. M. A. among the Chinese here than to indorse the +statements made by the Rev. Dr. McLean in the April number of this +magazine. As far as the school work for the Chinese in the English +language is concerned, the honor of beginning it belongs, I think, to +Mrs. Elizabeth L. Lynde, now deceased, a member of the First +Congregational Church in this city at the time. Her heart, which was +singularly alert in behalf of the neglected and unfortunate, set her +in the year 1867 to teaching two or three Chinese at her house. These +were servants in families. Meantime the boy employed in my own +house—since favorably known as our chief helper in missionary work, +Jee Gam—was spelling out, by the aid of my little girls and their +mother, the mysteries of our English language, and little by little +learning the great mystery of godliness. Interest deepened in the two +or three who were thus drawn together. So, Mrs. Lynde's little class +was transferred to our chapel, and soon became a prominent and +hopeful department of our Sunday-school. It was a rare pleasure given +me to receive, in 1870, the first three Chinamen known as admitted to +membership by confession of faith in an English-speaking church in +this land.</p> + +<p>For several years I had the opportunity of direct participation in +this new missionary movement, often taking my place as teacher of the +new alphabet and guide to the pronunciation of many unphonetic words. +At first there was novelty about it and it was comparatively easy to +obtain even the numerous teachers which this work requires. But as +the novelty wore off it became more difficult to find and keep +volunteers in sufficient numbers. Besides, a demand arose for more +than the hour of the Sunday-school service. The eagerness to learn +and the increasing acquisition of some called for a more constant and +continuous drill. So has come about the system of schools carried on, +under the American Missionary Association's appropriations and our +California gifts, by the "California Chinese Mission."</p> + +<p>I bear glad witness to the large measure of devotion with which this +work has been conducted. It is precisely the kind of work to bring +out the best qualities of Christian character in those who are +responsibly engaged in it. The motives for engaging in it drawn from +any other than the purest Christian fountains are few indeed. The men +and women, who, within my knowledge, have given their time and heart +to it, have long been among my "evidences of Christianity." To the +poor the Gospel has been preached by them. Several of those most +interested during the early years, as superintendents or teachers, +have been laid aside or have "gone home." But there can be no doubt +that the Master has said to them, "Inasmuch as ye did it unto the +least of my disciples, ye have done it unto me."</p> + +<p>For this is pre-eminently the work which makes its appeal to the few. +To sustain it pecuniarily as well as otherwise, must pertain to those +who give, hoping for nothing in kind again. Those here who would +give, perhaps, to help Africans on the Congo, cannot always be +appealed to in behalf of this cause. A worthy Christian friend who +has charge of a Sunday-school consulted me about a gift he was +interesting his scholars to make to some missionary. Whom could I +suggest? It was natural, being on this Pacific sea, to suggest a +laborer in northern China. It<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_183" id="Page_183">[Pg 183]</a></span> was amusing to see how quickly he +dropped my suggestion as if it were something very hot. Why, it would +not do at all to mention China in that school. It would kill his +darling missionary proposition completely. This illustrates not by +any means a universal feeling here, but a feeling which is quite too +prevalent. And there are many who would help to teach the Mongolians +if they were to be taught <i>where they belong</i>, who would be almost +offended to be asked to help in their education here. So all the more +admirable, in the face of public sentiment here, is it that so many +noble workers and givers have been found to sustain this work. For is +not this, of all others, the enterprise which "takes the gold right +out of the country?"</p> + +<p>I overheard an intelligent gentleman, a member of Congress, and born +in my native Massachusetts, express the duly considered opinion that +the Chinese mind is so organized that it cannot be expected to +entertain the Christian ideas. It illustrated the sad fact that it +takes a long time for even Americans to entertain and be molded by +those ideas. This gentleman might easily have found scores of humble +servants and laborers of this "unassimilable" race in his own city +who had come as truly in the power of Him, who is the Truth, as any +of us. For it is the testimony of all who are acquainted with the +facts that as large a proportion of those Chinese who take the +Christian name "adorn the doctrine" as do those who take that name +from among the Caucasian families. Indeed, the proportion may, +perhaps, be larger. For what can ordinarily induce a Chinaman to +espouse the Christian standing here unless it be the genuine +appreciation of Christian truth and the response of his heart to the +love of God as shown in the cross of Christ?</p> + +<hr class="section" /> + +<h2>BUREAU OF WOMAN'S WORK.</h2> + +<div class="center">MISS D. E. EMERSON, SECRETARY.</div> + + +<p>Our readers will recall an article issued in this department of the +April "Missionary" entitled "A Plan with Reasons." We are happy to +report that a good many cheering words in approval of the plan have +reached us, and not a few of a practical character. We select from +the latter the following:</p> + + +<h4>FROM NEW YORK.</h4> + +<p>—I have received a delightful letter from our teacher at the Santee +Agency, and our Committee are much pleased with her account of her +work. I have directed our Treasurer to send to your A. M. A. +Treasurer the first quarterly payment on account of the $150 +appropriated, and trust it will reach you in due season. Our payments +will be made hereafter May 1, Aug. 1 and Nov. 1, as we are dependent +on our weekly collections, and hence cannot pay oftener than +quarterly.</p> + +<p>—Inclosed find $40 for two shares in support of a missionary +teacher, from whom we may receive a monthly letter.</p> + + +<h4>FROM MASSACHUSETTS.</h4> + +<p>—Inclosed please find $20. Our Ladies' Benevolent Society wish to +take one share in the expense of a lady missionary teacher, from whom +we shall enjoy letters, hoping in this way to call out more interest +in the work.</p> + +<p>—A recent circular from you was read to our ladies by our pastor's +wife, to whom it was sent. We have no separate organization for the +Am. Miss. Assoc.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_184" id="Page_184">[Pg 184]</a></span> but our ladies contribute something to its +funds—though probably not enough to take a full share in the support +of a teacher. Encouraged by what you say in the circular, we write to +ask that we may be included in the list of those to whom monthly +letters will be sent, as promised to those who take one or more +shares. We are small and few, but the interest is genuine, and we +want to increase it. Our contribution goes into the general fund.</p> + + +<h4>FROM MINNESOTA.</h4> + +<p>—Last week, on a very stormy day, with less than twenty ladies +present, the subject of taking shares in the support of a missionary +teacher was introduced, and a little over $40 pledged, to be paid +before October. I felt very much encouraged, and shall do all I can +to increase the amount, though I am too much of a stranger—having +been here but a year—to have any idea what we can raise. You +promised us letters from our missionary if we took but one of the $20 +shares; so we shall hope to receive them. After another month I hope +to send you word about a much larger pledge.</p> + +<p>—Ours is a country church, laboring under the disadvantage of +constant depletion of our younger members; the twin cities of St. +Paul and Minneapolis are close by, and our broad frontier also +attracts strongly. Last year a determined few, by great exertion, +raised almost $100 for division among the Am. Board, A. H. M. S. and +A. M. A. The outlook is not encouraging for this year, and, as a +regular correspondent might add interest to our small meeting, we +voted yesterday to take one share; and should we succeed better than +we hope, our rule of division will give you one-third, whatever the +amount may be. We need more prayer for warm hearts and the open hand.</p> + + +<h4>FROM OHIO.</h4> + +<p>—We have been reading "A Plan, with the Reasons," and like it much. +We have a class of young girls in our church who ought to be in +missionary work. Can you give us a little fuller account of the work? +and do you have teachers among the poor white women of the South? +Please let us hear soon from you; we want an object to work for. We +may not be able to do very much, but would like to do something.</p> + +<hr class="section" /> + +<h3>ALABAMA WOMAN'S MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION.</h3> + +<div class="center">MISS M. K.

The devotional exercises were conducted by the +President of the Association, Mrs. H. S. De Forest, who gave the +opening address, welcoming the members of the local societies, now +numbering seven.</p> + +<p>The reports of the Secretaries and delegates showed an increase of +interest, labor, and funds collected, as well as a constant growth in +missionary intelligence.</p> + +<p>Nearly all the societies have remembered the foreign work and the +Indians, in addition to their own needs and people, and have shown a +deep interest in the advancement of Christian education.</p> + +<p>Mrs. Ragland, the wife of one of the Talladega theologians, read a +paper upon Home Influence, the prominent points of which were filial +obedience, the important place the wife, mother, and daughter fill in +the home, and the importance of training the daughter in domestic +duties.</p> + +<p>Mrs. Ash, whose husband was an acceptable pastor in one of the A. M. +A.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_185" id="Page_185">[Pg 185]</a></span> churches, and who not long since was called home, read a paper, +giving a comprehensive history of the work of the American Missionary +Association in the South, relating incidents connected with the +earlier teachings, and showing how the work had broadened, and +brought into the ranks the colored people.</p> + +<p>Mrs. Andrews, of Talladega, prepared a paper on the "Origin and +History of Our Alabama Movement in Woman's Work," read by Miss +Partridge, giving a full development of the organization and growth +of the society during its seven years' existence, and showing how +much greater results are accomplished by organized effort and unity +of action, and advising that the relation of this society as an +auxiliary to the W. H. M. A. of Boston be severed and become allied +to the Woman's Bureau of New York, which has the Southern field under +its special care; referring also to the interest, courtesy and +sympathy which the Boston society had always shown toward the Alabama +branch.</p> + +<p>Mrs. O. F. Curtis, of Emerald Grove, Wis., was present, who has two +sons in the South as missionaries and one on the foreign field—Rev. +W. W. Curtis, of Japan—who addressed the meeting on the condition of +the women and girls in that country; what is being done by the +missionaries to lead them to Christ; also speaking of the hindrances +to the Christian religion.</p> + +<p>This interesting meeting could not fail to awaken a deeper interest +in the hearts of all present, and we believe that no one left without +feeling that she had gained a new impulse to renewed consecration and +work for the Master.</p> + +<hr class="section" /> + +<h3>SUNDAY-SCHOOL WORK AT TOUGALOO.</h3> + +<div class="center">MISS JOSEPHINE KELLOGG.</div> + +<p>The Sunday-school of this Institution has always—under the present +management at least—been considered one of the most important, if +not the most important means of grace and spiritual enlightenment. +The power of sustained attention and consecutive thought is greatly +lacking in all untrained minds; hence the superiority of the +hand-to-hand question-and-answer method of the class-room over the +sermon as a means of informing the mind and clearing away the rubbish +of superstition and the misapprehensions of meaning, derived from the +ignorant preachers who have been in many cases the only previous +expounders of the word, and resulting also from a very vague and +limited understanding of the language of the Bible, the +preacher—even the teacher.</p> + +<p>It would be impossible for one new to the work to even <i>grasp at</i> the +distorted images and superstitious misconceptions connected with +religious subjects in the minds of the more ignorant colored people +without the free interchange of personal conversation. So for years +the Sunday-school has been placed at the head of the Sabbath services +here, and given the forenoon, the review by the Superintendent +occupying the time of a short sermon, with the lesson for the day, +already explained and impressed by the several teachers, for its +text. Later in the day class prayer-meetings are held, and here young +Christians learn to take up the cross of bearing testimony for +Christ, and making audible prayer for themselves and others. Many of +the scholars feel these meetings to be very valuable.</p> + +<p>At the close of the school year a Sunday-school Convention is held, +and it is urged as a duty upon all Christian students who go out to +teach that they should organize and conduct Sabbath schools in +connection with their day schools.</p> + +<p>We have recently received two donations of library books, so that we +now have enough to go once around, and we loan them out each Sunday. +We also generally<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_186" id="Page_186">[Pg 186]</a></span> have papers to distribute, sent us by kind and +careful Sunday-school scholars in the North who make their papers do +double duty. If some school changing song-books would send our school +a hundred or more well-preserved copies of those they lay aside, it +would be a gift highly appreciated.</p> + +<p>One of our neighbors is a good Mother in Israel, who has always taken +a warm interest in this institution in all its departments and +appreciated its uplifting influence upon her people. She belongs to +one of the branches of the Methodist Church, and felt that she wanted +something done for the improvement and revival of interest in the +schools of that denomination in the vicinity. Accordingly, she worked +up a S. S. Convention among them last Fall, and invited Mr. Pope and +some others of us to go and help to make it profitable. We could not +get off until after dinner and might as well not have gone at all. +Soon after our entrance a young man introduced a resolution that +superintendents and teachers be <i>compelled</i> to be at their schools at +the hour set for opening. One of the preachers rose and said that +teachers <i>could not</i> be <i>compelled</i>, and moved as an amendment that +they be <i>acquired</i> to come promptly.</p> + +<p>Then ensued along, windy, wordy controversy on "compelling" and +"acquiring." Seeing no prospect of a conclusion we withdrew. The good +auntie who had invited us followed us out in deep humiliation. I +said, we are sorry to go without contributing something to the +interest of the meeting, but this is such a waste of time, there is +no coming to the point. "That's jus' so, dear," she said, "but that +their ign'rance. Ign'rance <i>does</i> waste time, honey. <i>Ign'rance can't +come to a pint.</i>" That last sentence struck me as a piece of +epigrammatic wisdom.</p> + +<hr class="section" /> + +<h2>CHILDREN'S PAGE</h2> + +<hr class="quarter" /> + +<h3>WONG NING'S IDEAS</h3> + +<h4>AS EXPRESSED BY HIMSELF.</h4> + + +<div class="blockquot"><p>[Wong Ning is no imaginary character.

He making play of a little city, and building three little +walls around it, all the same like Canton. He took up too much room, +and talk too smart, so that Confucius cannot get in.</p> + +<p>He watch him a little while, then he say, "I guess Canton all right; +this boy can teach Canton.

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/29556-h/images/img174.jpg b/29556-h/images/img174.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..87f0c0c --- /dev/null +++ b/29556-h/images/img174.jpg diff --git a/29556-h/images/img185.jpg b/29556-h/images/img185.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..0d25e7b --- /dev/null +++ b/29556-h/images/img185.jpg diff --git a/29556-h/images/img186.jpg b/29556-h/images/img186.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..8c18fe0 --- /dev/null +++ b/29556-h/images/img186.jpg diff --git a/29556-h/images/img187.jpg b/29556-h/images/img187.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..3704b1d --- /dev/null +++ b/29556-h/images/img187.jpg diff --git a/29556-h/images/img188.jpg b/29556-h/images/img188.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..9c6a979 --- /dev/null +++ b/29556-h/images/img188.jpg diff --git a/29556-h/images/img189.jpg b/29556-h/images/img189.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..0410e54 --- /dev/null +++ b/29556-h/images/img189.jpg diff --git a/29556-h/images/img190a.jpg b/29556-h/images/img190a.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..cca9087 --- /dev/null +++ b/29556-h/images/img190a.jpg diff --git a/29556-h/images/img190b.jpg b/29556-h/images/img190b.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..e3c0968 --- /dev/null +++ b/29556-h/images/img190b.jpg diff --git a/29556-h/images/img191.jpg b/29556-h/images/img191.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..8a73230 --- /dev/null +++ b/29556-h/images/img191.jpg diff --git a/29556-h/images/img192.jpg b/29556-h/images/img192.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..6cfac2c --- /dev/null +++ b/29556-h/images/img192.jpg diff --git a/29556-h/images/img193.jpg b/29556-h/images/img193.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..8fa348a --- /dev/null +++ b/29556-h/images/img193.jpg diff --git a/29556-h/images/img194.jpg b/29556-h/images/img194.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..b71032b --- /dev/null +++ b/29556-h/images/img194.jpg diff --git a/29556-h/images/img206a.jpg b/29556-h/images/img206a.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..9d4a3af --- /dev/null +++ b/29556-h/images/img206a.jpg diff --git a/29556-h/images/img206b.jpg b/29556-h/images/img206b.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..77eda61 --- /dev/null +++ b/29556-h/images/img206b.jpg diff --git a/29556-h/images/title.jpg b/29556-h/images/title.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..25897d3 --- /dev/null +++ b/29556-h/images/title.jpg diff --git a/29556.txt b/29556.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..c6fdd8a --- /dev/null +++ b/29556.txt @@ -0,0 +1,2690 @@ +The Project Gutenberg EBook of The American Missionary -- Volume 38, No. +06, June, 1884, by Various + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

An increase from collections and donations of $6,905.71 +over last year, but a decrease from legacies of $21,640.83, making +the decrease of total receipts for the seven months of $14,744.12. We +must again remind our friends that it is necessary to largely +increase our collections and donations or incur a debt. + + * * * * * + +OUR ILLUSTRATED ARTICLE. + + +It gives us pleasure to place before our readers in this number an +illustrated article on our Dakota Mission. The plates were prepared +for the use jointly of the ILLUSTRATED CHRISTIAN WEEKLY and the +AMERICAN MISSIONARY. The article was written by Rev. Addison P. +Foster, one of our Executive Committee who visited the mission last +year. The popularity of the Indian number of the MISSIONARY which we +issued in April, 1883, leads us to hope that this number will be +welcomed and preserved for use as occasion may offer. + + * * * * * + +OUR INDIAN MISSIONS. + + +Nine schools, with 356 pupils; five churches, with 271 members; five +stations; thirteen missionaries; thirty-seven teachers, are the +statistics. The churches are Congregational, and the church and +school go hand in hand. A careful survey of the necessities of these +missions was made early in the year, and the estimate called for an +appropriation of about $30,000. Repairs and improvements in old +buildings and construction of new buildings, imperatively demanded +for the efficient prosecution of the work, forbade a lower estimate. + +In surrendering our African missions, obedient to the voice of the +churches that our appeal might be simplified, we gave up the proceeds +of invested funds that in large part sustained that work; while in +receiving from the American Board its Indian missions, there was +placed just so much additional demand upon our treasury. Our +inevitable outlook was a trilemma--either enlarged receipts, or +retrenchment, or debt. + +We therefore sent to about fifteen hundred Congregational ministers +in February last a printed circular asking: + +First--Shall we raise this year $30,000 for our mission work among +the Indians? + +Second--Will you aid, and how? + +Up to date we have received 206 replies. To the first question the +answers are nearly all in the affirmative; most of them strong and +positive, a few cautious and questioning. + +To the second, 33 responded with immediate contributions; 43 promised +an increase in the regular church collections, 71 a special +contribution from the missionary concert, and 3 the proceeds of a +lecture. + +The replies are representative. Ministers in charge of the strong +churches, and those in charge of the weaker, speak the same language +of encouragement. "Go ahead." "Forward! is the word." "We will back +you." "It is no more than fair that those who have hitherto sustained +these Indian missions through the A. B. C. F. M. should now turn +their hand into the A. M. A. to increase its funds for this work." +"Thirty thousand dollars will do more and better work than so many +muskets." "We love your work and will aid you all we can." Such are +the sentiments these letters breathe. From all parts of the country +they come. California strikes hands with Massachusetts, Washington +Territory and Utah range themselves with Florida, all of them wishing +us God-speed, and promising help in our Indian work. We are glad to +have received such encouragement as these letters give, and sincerely +thank our brethren who took the trouble and time to answer our +inquiries. We trust that none of them will fail to see that the +promises are fulfilled. There will be in some cases need of special +remembrance. Interests crowd in these days. Even what is lawful and +regular has to fight for recognition. There are others who have not +answered our questions, upon whose co-operation to bring up that +$30,000 we also rely. We hope that as they read these lines their +eyes will detect the special appeal, implied, though not expressed, +that is here made to them. We commend anew the claims of these +important missions to our friends, and again remind them that if we +are to worthily do this enlarged work they must come up to our help +with enlarged contributions. + + * * * * * + +OUR SPRING ASSOCIATIONS. + +REV. J. E. ROY, D.D. + + +There were four of them, those of Alabama, at Montgomery; of +Louisiana, at New Orleans; of Mississippi, at Meridian; and of North +Carolina, at Dudley. The first three came the first part of April; +the last came the 1st of May. Alabama received two new ministers, +Revs. A. J. Headen and C. L. Harris, and two new churches, those of +Birmingham and Tecumseh, places of large iron and coal interests. +Louisiana received the Church of Chocahula and Rev. Byron Gunner. The +meetings of Alabama have come to the dignity of State Anniversaries, +those of the Sunday-school Association, of the Association of +Churches, and of the Woman's Missionary Association, which this year +transferred its auxiliaryship from the Boston W. H. M. A. to the +Woman's Bureau of the A. M. A. The Sunday-school body took a day for +its reports, addresses and discourses. Among other valuable +contributions was that of Mrs. Ash, widow of the late Rev. W. H. Ash, +upon the dress and deportment of the teacher. The body representing +the churches and the ministers came up to its own high-water mark of +intellectual force and spiritual tone. Among the practical subjects +discussed was that of the relation of the churches toward secret +societies. In the whole discussion not a word was offered in defense +of the clandestine orders. It would have done Brother Fee good to +have heard the fearless discussion. The church of Montgomery, under +the care of Rev. R. C. Bedford, was found in a prosperous condition, +ten members being received during the sessions of the body. Prof. G. +W. Andrews, an early pastor of the church, had the pleasure of +baptizing into the church a lad of thirteen, who had been named after +himself, George Whitefield. Prof. Andrews also delivered an address +upon the Mission of Congregationalism in the South, which was the +feature of the week of services. Upon invitation three of the leading +white churches of the city were supplied on the Lord's Day, those of +Dr. Petrie, First Presbyterian, Dr. Andrew, First Methodist, and Dr. +Woodfin, First Baptist--the service being rendered by Revs. O. W. +Fay, G. W. Andrews and J. E. Roy. Four white families extended +hospitality and four white pastors came into the meetings. And so +recognition is coming along. + +The Louisiana Association met with Rev. Isaac Hall's church, which +with paint and fresco had put its house of worship into beautiful +condition. Dr. W. S. Alexander was elected Moderator for the eighth +year. A member of his church, a converted Catholic, was licensed that +he might preach among the French-speaking colored people in the city +of New Orleans. The account of his conversion was extremely +interesting, showing how, by the word of God, he had worked out of +Romish superstitions and had "found out what it was to be born +again." During the sessions, by a proper Council, Mr. Byron Gunner, +of the Theological Department of Talladega College, was examined and +ordained to serve as pastor at New Iberia, the place where the +Acadians settled and Whittier's "Evangeline" drifted in search of her +lover. Dr. Alexander preached the sermon and Rev. R. C. Bedford, of +Montgomery, gave the charge. The venerable brother, Rev. Daniel Clay, +preached the opening sermon on the text, "Fear not, little flock, for +it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom." + +The whole body was at the Boarding Hall of the Straight University +for a lunch, when the President made the members a fine present of +books from a Northern society. + +The meeting of the Mississippi body was the second, and it revealed a +maturing process. President Pope and Professor Hatch represented +Tougaloo University--the president preaching a sermon on Christian +Industry, and the professor reading a capital paper on Revivals. Rev. +C. L. Harris, of Jackson, preached the opening sermon. He is finding +a wide and effectual door at the Capital of the State. Pastor Grice, +at Meridian, is encouraged by the assistance of Miss M. E. Green, a +lady missionary. Miss A. D. Gerrish serves in the same capacity at +New Orleans. At the meeting in the last named city, Miss E. B. Emery, +from Maine, gave an impressive talk upon Woman's Mission Work. Misses +Sperry and Wilcox, teachers, followed with words of confirmation. In +Mississippi three or four promising fields are opening for the School +and Church process, and these will be entered and occupied as soon as +may be. + +The Old North State held its fifth annual meeting on the first four +days of May, at Dudley. This was a place at which the colored people, +during the Ku-Klux terror, "refugeed," making there a stand for +life--the hunted creatures at bay. Early the A. M. A. opened here its +Mission School and Church. Difficulties, peculiar to the +heterogeneous material thus gathered, have gradually been overcome, +until now the gospel is in the ascendant as an assimilating force. +The church and school under Rev. J. E. B. Jewett and his wife, of +Pepperell, Mass., are in a high degree of prosperity. The New England +Academy Principal seems especially adapted to these children of toil. +The Association had the round of discussions, essays, devotional +meetings. The National Council and the annual meeting of the A. M. A. +were duly reported. The new Confession of Faith was heartily +approved. A memorial service for the late Rev. Islay Walden, a native +of North Carolina, was a marked feature of the occasion. The great +work he had accomplished for his people in so short a time was +instructive and encouraging to the other young ministers, and to the +young people of the Assembly. Mrs. Elenora Walden continues the +school work of her husband, greatly confided in by the people. Rev. +Zachariah Simmons takes up the pastoral work. Three delegates from +Strieby and Troy had _walked_ 130 miles for want of money to pay the +railroad fare. Three new school-house churches were reported--those +of Pekin, Oaks and Hillsboro, the last two having been dedicated by +the Field Superintendent on the Saturday and Sunday previous. Sermons +were preached by Revs. D. D. Dodge, G. S. Smith (Moderator), J. E. +Roy and Z. Simmons. Deacon Henry Clay Jones, of Raleigh, made a +flaming temperance speech, claiming that 60,000 Prohibition voters +held the balance of power, which, as a third party, could and should +overmaster the 100,000 majority that went against home protection. + + * * * * * + +REMEMBER THE POOR. + + +When Paul and Barnabas were about to set forth to labor among the +heathen, Cephas, James and John gave them the right hand of +fellowship with a charge included in these words: "Only that they +would remember the poor." How they should do it had been indicated by +Him who said of his own labors "the poor have the gospel preached to +them." + +The expression "the poor" is comprehensive. All human wants relate to +it. The poverty of some, however, is more complete than that of +others, and the poorest have early, if not the first, claim to +attention. The Pauls and Barnabases of our times may justly listen to +appeals which arise from the following conditions: + +1. Ignorance. In this country it may be said ignorance is the mother +of poverty. Indeed, ignorance is one of the worst forms of poverty. +Intelligence among the masses, coupled with true religion, would soon +abolish it. Whatever is lacking of knowledge of God, of what He has +promised, of what He has made for us, of what we can do for +ourselves, must be supplied. It was an observation of Dean Stanley +that we ought to teach the heathen how to count three before +attempting to instruct them as to the doctrine of the Trinity. The +great Preacher was the great Teacher also. If there be the greatest +ignorance South, the appeal from the South to us to remember the poor +is urgent and imperative. + +2. Poverty. Where a large proportion of the people can neither read +nor write, there nothing but a fractional supply for human wants is +to be expected. Inadequate buildings meagerly furnished, insufficient +clothing for the young, lack of medical care and neglect of the aged +and infirm--these are evil conditions only too common all over the +South, rendering much that ministers to a thrifty and manly character +impossible, as things are now. Where there is the greatest sickness, +privation and want, there apostles to the poor have legitimate field +for labor. Is there any such field in our country as that presented +at the South? + +3. Vice. It is admitted that ignorance and poverty beget vice. +According to recent statistics, gathered from the whole country, it +is shown that the illiterate classes commit more than ten times +their pro rata of crime. The missionary must stay the progress of +vice, drying up its sources as best he may, and uncapping the +fountains of life. To do this he must impart knowledge and preach the +gospel. + +If, in consequence of the ignorance and poverty of the people South, +there is vice and crime unparalleled in the annals of our country; if +these things combined constitute a poverty unknown elsewhere in the +land when estimated by its extent, then those who seek the poorest +will not neglect the millions in the Southern States. + +It is our work, as an Association, to do what we can to render these +people the help needful. Will not the friends of Christ help us +"remember the poor?" + + * * * * * + +CHRISTIAN EDUCATORS IN COUNCIL is the title of a pamphlet of 266 +pages, giving full report of sixty addresses by American educators at +Ocean Grove last August, arranged topically as follows: I. Education +and Man's Improvement. II. Illiteracy in the United Slates. III. +National Aid to Common Schools. IV. The Negro in America. V. +Illiteracy, Wealth, Pauperism, and Crime. VI. The American Indian +Problem. VII. The American Mormon Problem. VIII. Education in the +South since the War. IX. Christ in American Education.

The price is one dollar. + + * * * * * + +SOUTHERN MANUFACTURES. + + +An account of the Southern manufacturing and mining enterprises for +January and February is given in the _Manufacturers' Record_, and +illustrates the growing thrift of these industries in the South. +Kentucky shows the largest aggregate, which foots up $6,851,000. +Alabama is second with 5,210,000; Virginia, 3,830,000; Texas, +3,593,000; Georgia, 2,074,000; Maryland, 2,015,000; North Carolina, +1,227,000; West Virginia, 916,000; South Carolina, 904,000; +Tennessee, 846,000, and the other States a little less than 500,000 +each. The cotton mills begun since January will cost over $325,000, +and will add more than a hundred thousand spindles to the number now +in the South. The Eagle and Phoenix Mills, Columbus, Ga., intend to +erect a new structure at the cost of $1,000,000. At Rome, Ga., and at +Birmingham, Ala., new cotton mills to cost $100,000 each are about to +be erected. Confidence, which can only spring from intelligence and +Christianity, is the one thing needful in order to secure the capital +wanted for the development of the vast manufacturing interests of the +southern portion of our country. + +THE EARLY DAWN is the title of a paper published at Good Hope +Station, Sherbro Island, under the management of Rev. Mr. Gomer, the +colored Superintendent of the Mendi and Shengay Missions, now in +charge of the United Brethren in Christ. THE EARLY DAWN is welcomed. + + * * * * * + +A TURN IN THE ROAD. + + +Gov. McDaniel, of Georgia, has commuted the death sentences of two +negroes. One of these, it is said, had no fair chance of defense, and +the other killed the invader of his domestic peace, for which offence +the Governor said he would never allow a man to be hanged. It is to +Mr. McDaniel's credit that this clemency was exercised in full view +of the desperate efforts which have been made for more than a year to +save from the gallows one Turner, a man of influential family, for +whose crime there was no excuse. All recourses of appeal to the +courts having been exhausted, Turner's friends are bringing every +pressure to bear to have the Governor give him a "negro's chance," +but that official has decided to let the law take its course. + + * * * * * + +JOHN F. SLATER. + + +The death of Mr. Slater, which occurred at Norwich, Conn., May 6, +removes one of our foremost philanthropists. His well-known gift of a +million dollars for the emancipated race in America was made after +years of converse with eminent scholars, statesmen, capitalists and +Christian philanthropists. The act was in every sense deliberate. His +successful business career, extending over many years, his knowledge +of men, gained by his relations with business interests in the great +centers of trade; by his employment of large numbers of laborers; by +his observations while traveling at home and abroad--gave him +opportunity to reach the best conclusions as to what people in our +land were the most needy, and where the gifts would yield the most +abundant results. He took a business man's view of the subject, and +has left an expression of judgment, supported by a princely +benefaction, of great value to others who are prayerfully considering +how they may best promote the interests of Christian civilization. +Modest, consistent, dignified, courteous, a regular attendant at a +Congregational church, a good neighbor, a good citizen beloved--such +was John F. Slater. He has left a name better and more enduring than +his great riches. + + * * * * * + +BENEFACTIONS. + + +The late Lucius J. Knowles bequeathed $5,000 to Doane College, +Nebraska, and $10,000 to Carlton College, Minnesota. + +A professorship at Williams College, in honor of Dr. Mark Hopkins, +has been provided for by subscriptions amounting to $25,000. + +The New York University is to receive $5,000 from the estate of the +late Augustus Schell, and the New York Historical Society $5,000. + +Mrs. Louisa L.

ADDISON P. FOSTER. + + +It was my rare good fortune last summer to spend nearly a month in a +trip of investigation among the Dakota Indians. A record of +observations thus made may perhaps be of interest. + +Across the Missouri, in Northern Nebraska, is a reservation about +twelve miles square on which are located the Santees. These Indians +came originally from Minnesota, and were concerned in the terrible +New Ulm massacre there. This was years ago. After that bloody +outbreak a large number of Indians were imprisoned. While thus +incarcerated they were deeply moved by the truths of religion. The +long and faithful labors of Drs. Riggs and Williamson bore fruit, and +very many were truly converted. These Minnesota Indians were +subsequently removed, a portion to the Sisseton Agency, a portion to +Flandreau, and a portion to the Santee Agency. At this last-named +spot the Indians are practically civilized. They wear the white man's +dress; they cultivate farms of their own; they sustain two churches, +one Episcopal and one Congregational, the latter having its excellent +native pastor and an outlying chapel where the native deacons conduct +meetings in turn; they have recently, to the number of fifty, taken +up land under the homestead laws and now own them in fee simple. +There are three boarding schools on the reservation, one sustained by +the American Missionary Association and in the charge of the Rev. A. +L. Riggs, another sustained by the Episcopalians, under the +jurisdiction of Bishop Hare, and a third supported by the Government, +of which Rev. Charles Seccombe, a Congregationalist, is principal. +The work in all these schools is admirable. The children are neat, +intelligent, attractive, orderly, and studious, and while not as far +advanced nor as quick, will compare favorably with the children of +schools among white people. The development of Indian character under +these Christianizing influences was remarkably shown in a visit to +one of the cottages on the mission. Here dwell one of the native +teachers, her mother and grandmother. The aged grandmother in her +whole appearance bespoke the wild Indian. Gray and bent with age, she +loved best to sit on the floor in a corner, after the fashion of her +people. The mother, a comely matron of perhaps forty-five, was +evidently more cultivated, was lady-like in her appearance, and had +lines of thoughtfulness on her thin face. The work of civilization +had made great advance in her. But the daughter, a young lady of +eighteen, well educated, knowing only the ways of civilization, was +as thoroughly refined and bright and attractive as the young ladies +of our own Christian homes. + +[Illustration: INDIAN BURYING GROUND.] + +At Oahe, fifteen miles west of Pierre, Dakota Territory, is a second +mission station, under the charge of the American Missionary +Association. Up and down the river, on what is known as the Peoria +Bottom, are perhaps a hundred families of Indians, each living on +their own homesteads, off reservation limits, cultivating their +farms, dwelling in comfortable log-houses, dressed in civilized garb, +and showing as much neatness and industry as the average white man. +These people are recognized as citizens and are voters. They have a +neat chapel, a native pastor, sustain admirable prayer-meetings--a +woman's prayer-meeting among them--and live good reputable lives. In +this spot and at Santee Agency the Indian is seen at his best. Life +and property are respected, the land is fairly tilled, the homes are +happy, intelligence is general, and religion is the universal +motive-power. + +[Illustration: WIGWAMS AMONG THE SIOUX.] + +On the west side of the Missouri in Dakota lies the great Sioux +Reservation, containing 8,000 Indians at the Pine Ridge Agency, +nearly 8,000 at the Rosebud Agency, 1,500 of the Lower Brule Indians, +3,000 along the Cheyenne River and northward, and nearly 4,000 on the +Standing Rock Agency. It was my fortune to visit a number of villages +on the Cheyenne, Morrow, and Grand Rivers and at Standing Rock. The +Indians at these places are all wild--that is, still wear blankets, +breech-cloths, and leggings, feathers and geegaws, do little toward +cultivating the land, and are ignorant heathen. A Sabbath in a +village on the Cheyenne showed what wild Indians were. The morning +opened with two men disguised in buffalo-skins with the heads on, +running through the village. They had had a dream, were supposed to +be possessed of spirits, and as they chased the villagers all ran +from them, affrighted lest some witchcraft be wrought by them. +Presently the church-bell rang at the missionary's tent, and fifty +Indians came in, gaudy in paints and wampum, ornaments, and dangling +queues tied up with mink-skins, the chief wearing a broken down +beaver hat with a faded weed upon it, and the rest supplied with fans +of eagles' wings, pipes, and other accompaniments of Indian +gentlemen. They listened with occasional grunts of approval during +worship, and filed out at the close with a cordial handshake, one +remaining, named from his height Touch-the-Clouds, to say that he +felt the importance of this new way, and that he wished for himself +and his people schools and churches. This was encouraging, but as the +evening came on there set up a hideous noise; a dance was in +progress, and all night long a relay of three Indians kept up the +hideous and monotonous tom-tom of their kettle-drums, while the +shrill scream of the women pierced the air. + +The next morning were things equally painful. A young Indian woman, +with four children to care for, put away by her cruel husband for +another wife, came to beg the missionary's influence to secure for +her Government rations. A tent hard by was visited, where the family, +in accordance with Indian superstitions, were gathering, and had been +for a year or two, all sorts of valuable articles for presents in +honor of some deceased member of the household, intending by-and-by +to distribute all these things, leaving themselves beggared. And last +of all, in a neighboring village were seen three men and a boy, clad +with a few feathers in their hair, and yellow ochre on their bodies, +going through mummeries in the sight of a large company. They were +"making mystery," whatever that may be. + +[Illustration: INDIAN GIRLS AT SANTEE NORMAL TRAINING SCHOOL.] + +At Standing Rock were Sitting Bull and Chief Gall, with their bands. +Not many years ago they had been on the war path; they were concerned +in the Custer massacre; but now they are in wholesome awe of the +Government and dependent on Government favor for daily bread. +Consequently they are orderly and peaceable, and though a few years +since it would have been dangerous for three unarmed men to pass +through their reservations, it was perfectly safe last summer for a +missionary speaking the Indian language and his friends. + +[Illustration: INDIAN IN NATIVE DRESS, FORT BERTHOLD.] + +A third class of Indians was found at Fort Berthold. This reservation +is a hundred miles north of Bismarck, Dakota Territory, on the east +side of the Missouri. There are three small tribes combined in one +large village for protection against their ancient enemies the Sioux, +namely, the Arickarees, the Mandans, and the Gros Ventres. These +Indians have latterly made great advances in civilization. They have +800 acres under cultivation, all looking admirably and well fenced +in, and they are taking great pride in their work and asking for more +land to cultivate. They have comfortable homes, or "lodges," as they +are called, made in an octagonal form, of logs completely covered +with earth. They are eagerly obtaining from the Government such +comforts of civilization as they can--reapers, cooking-stoves, +baking-powder, and the like. And yet this people display some of the +grossest elements of savagery. Polygamy is common. The disgusting +scaffold burials still go on, and the air in the neighborhood of the +village is sometimes foul from the adjacent cemetery. Buffalo heads +and poles with red streamers, as offerings or invocations to spirits, +surmount many of the lodges and bear witness to the heathenism of the +people. Many of the men are terribly scarred on the shoulders, breast +and arms with the cruel practices of the sun dance. Men and women +alike wear the dress of their savage life. There has been as yet +little success from schools or church work. Few care for schools, and +the attendance at the mission chapel is not large. The fault, +however, is not with the devoted missionaries, Rev. C. L. Hall and +his helpers of the American Missionary Association, whose +faithfulness is unsurpassed, but with bad white men who visit the +village. For years these Indians have been brought in contact with +some of the worst influences of civilization, and in consequence the +women have become gross, the men have lost their sense of honor, and +the people are manifestly more degraded and harder to reach than the +wild Indians on the Sioux Reservation. + +After observation of these three types of Indians, the Christianized, +the wild and the polluted, certain conclusions were inevitable. + +1. There is a natural nobility in the Indian character. The Indian is +debased by heathenism and his wild life, lazy, improvident, filthy, +obscene and cruel; and yet he is well endowed by nature with brains +and heart and conscience. He is clear-headed and generous; he is +often affectionate in his family; he is capable of becoming +industrious, conscientious, scholarly, and thoroughly consecrated. If +his wild life has affected him unfavorably, it has not done him the +same kind of harm that slavery has to the colored man. He is not +crushed in spirit and ambition as was the colored slave at the time +of the civil war. + +[Illustration: INDIAN WOMAN AT FORT BERTHOLD.] + +[Illustration: INDIAN LODGE AT FORT BERTHOLD.] + +2. There, as elsewhere, the gospel proves the most efficient +instrumentality. The United States Government is doing a noble work +for the elevation of the race by introducing the agencies of +civilization. The Indian agents in Dakota are, as a rule, noble men, +vieing with the missionaries in endeavors to benefit the race. The +Board of Indian Commissioners are deserving of all praise for their +great services. The present system of Government management in +establishing schools, in encouraging agriculture, in discountenancing +savage practices, in stimulating the home-life, is most admirable. +But Christian efforts are yet more efficacious. It is where the +gospel has sway the longest, or has been the chief influence, that +the Indians are the most elevated. + +[Illustration: SANTEE INDIANS TEN YEARS AGO.] + +3. It cannot be questioned that we have come to a new stage in Indian +affairs. At last there is throughout the country almost complete +control of the wild Indians. The day of Indian wars is over. We may +very likely never have another. Now that the buffalo has largely +disappeared, the Indian is dependent on the Government supplies for +food and clothing, unless, like the white man, he resorts to +agriculture. In consequence, without any large display of military +force, the Indian agents are able to preserve excellent order on the +reservations. The Indians feel their dependence and recognize the +power of the Government. If fairly treated by the white man they will +give us little trouble hereafter. It is easy to see that +modifications in their condition, all looking toward civilization, +are constantly taking place. They are giving up their Indian dress. +It is now rare to find an Indian whose dress is not in some way +conformed to the white man's. They are learning the comforts of +civilization through the supplies from Government, and welcome the +frame house, the sugar and syrup, the flour and beans, the tools and +clothing which come to them from this source. They feel the pressure +of the white population crowding upon them from every side. They see +their wild life is a thing of the past, and while there are selfish, +vicious, superstitious and conservative influences strongly at work +against the change, still the change goes on. Their more thoughtful +men, perceiving the necessity of the change and recognizing its +advantage, are urging the establishment of schools and churches among +them. There can be little doubt that as these processes continue the +tribal relation will eventually cease, the reservation system will be +abandoned, the Indian will come under ordinary laws, he will be +assigned land in severalty, will cultivate it for his support, and +become citizen. Already this is true of many Indians, and the day is +not far distant--I venture to prophesy that it is within the next +twenty years--when, if these influences continue, the Indian will be +so thoroughly absorbed among his white brethren that as a separate +race he will be lost to sight, and the Indian question will be a +question no more. + +[Illustration: INDIAN IN NATIVE DRESS, FORT BERTHOLD.] + +A word now in explanation of the illustrations accompanying this +article. An Indian chief is prominent in the first cut. His son is on +horseback beside him. His wives and younger children are seated on +the ground. The influence of civilization already appears in the +dress of these people and in their use of cattle. The second cut +represents a small portion of the large burying-ground at Fort +Berthold. The wigwams in the third cut are mostly of skin, but +generally canvas furnished by the Government is now used. The +arrangement of poles and the desolate appearance of the tents +scattered here and there are true to life. In the sixth cut the heavy +earrings and necklace are of wampum and very valuable. The dress, +while cut in Indian fashion, is, like nearly all that the Indians now +wear, furnished by the Government. The Indian in the fifth cut wears +his hair long and tied up in two queues, with mink-skin pendants. His +constant companion, a pipe of red pipe-clay, is in his lap. The lodge +in the seventh cut admirably represents the peculiar homes of Fort +Berthold Indians. It is very large, and sometimes divided into +several rooms inside. It is well constructed as a protection against +the severe winters of Northern Dakota. + +[Illustration: INDIAN BOYS AT SANTEE NORMAL TRAINING SCHOOL.] + +On the top of the lodge an Indian is standing. For many years the +Indians of Fort Berthold have been accustomed thus to look out across +the Missouri, on the watch, lest their ancient enemies, the Sioux, +steal upon them unaware. Beside the Indian may be seen the wicker +framework of a "bull boator," skin coracle. The Indians can seize +these in a moment, run with them on their heads to the river, and +paddle across the Missouri with ease after a deer or a buffalo. In +the foreground is a _travoir_, or Indian wagon, made of two poles +with a pouch of leather thongs slung between them. A pony rather than +a dog ordinarily drags this. Another cut represents the Santee Indian +as he was a few years ago. He now lives in a comfortable log-house, +or often in a frame house given him by the Government. In the last +cut are very good likenesses of two girls who are now at the Normal +Training School sustained by the American Missionary Associates at +Santee. They are pure-blooded Indians. Their father is a chief at +Fort Berthold, who has turned from his wild life to become a regular +attendant at church and a thoughtful imitator of the white man's +ways. + +[Illustration: DAUGHTERS OF INDIAN CHIEF "POOR WOLF."] + +Two other cuts represent groups of school-children at Santee, all +Indians. The artist has not exaggerated the bright and attractive +look upon their faces. They come from all parts of Dakota and the +Santee Reservation. In the ninth cut is represented an Indian who, +with a white man's shirt, retains his native leggings, blanket, +necklace and tomahawk. + + * * * * * + +FORTY-FIVE YEARS IN WASHINGTON TERRITORY. + +REV. CUSHING EELS, D.D. + + +From August 1838, to Sept., 1883, a period of more than 45 +consecutive years, I was a resident of what is now Oregon and +Washington Territory. I spent the greater part of those years in what +is included in Washington Territory. + +I was employed during the first ten years in mission work under the +patronage of the American Board in behalf of the Spokane Indians. + +The massacre of Marcus Whitman, M.D., and others in the Walla Walla +Valley, Nov., 1847, was followed by war which necessitated the +removal in 1848 of all Protestants from the mission field east of the +Cascade Mountains. By military proclamation, June, 1848, the country +named was declared closed against missionaries. It remained thus +eleven years. June, 1859, by military proclamation, the Walla Walla +country was declared open for settlement. + +In July of that year I, as agent of the A. B. C. F. M., went to Walla +Walla to look after their interests. Standing beside the grave of the +distinguished patriot and martyr, Dr. Whitman, I purposed to attempt +the erection of a monument to his memory in the form of a school of +high Christian character. The following Spring, 1860, I commenced +work in fulfillment of the plan named. During the next 12 years the +execution of that plan was with me all-controlling. In pursuance of +said object I recently returned to my native New England. + +During my sojourn in Walla Walla from 1860 to 1872 I was favored with +opportunities for the measurable prosecution of evangelistic work +among the Spokane Indians. In May, 1872, my house at the place +formerly occupied by Dr. Whitman was consumed by fire. + +My elder son had previously been nominated by the American Missionary +Association as Indian agent and confirmed by Government. Previous to +his taking charge the Lord's day had been distinguished for the +performance of outlandish wickedness. With the new agent there was +change of employes. A weekly prayer meeting was appointed and +conducted. With a good degree of constancy it has been continued to +the present time. A Sunday-school was organized. It is continued with +sustained interest. + +Soon after the burning of my house in Walla Walla, Agent Eells +hastened thither and took his mother to his home. Early the following +autumn I joined dear ones at Skokomish. A new departure was named. In +pursuance thereof, with the interpreter, a devout Indian, I conducted +divine service at the Indian village. It was continued with +gratifying results. + +In July, 1874, a church composed of whites and Indians was organized. +I was chosen pastor. About that time my younger son, Rev. Myron +Eells, arrived at Skokomish, with the intention of making a brief +stop. To me my early Indian charge, the Spokanes, together with the +sparse white settlements in the vicinity, were attractive. I resigned +the charge at Skokomish. It was committed to Rev. M. Eells. The seed +of the word cast among Spokane Indians did not spring up quickly. It +had slow growth, but a rich harvest has been gathered. But I may not +enlarge. From my experience and observation the so-called peace +policy, when fairly tested, is a success. Connected therewith the +ideas and work of the A. M. A. are specially applicable to efforts +for the elevation of the Indian. In my judgment the vexed Indian +problem may thereby be solved--solved to the mutual profit of our +Government and the Indian. + + * * * * * + +THE CHINESE. + + * * * * * + +LETTER FROM OAKLAND, CAL. + +BY REV. GEO. MOOAR, D.D. + + +There is little more for me to do in noting down my observation of +the work of A. M. A. among the Chinese here than to indorse the +statements made by the Rev. Dr. McLean in the April number of this +magazine. As far as the school work for the Chinese in the English +language is concerned, the honor of beginning it belongs, I think, to +Mrs. Elizabeth L. Lynde, now deceased, a member of the First +Congregational Church in this city at the time. Her heart, which was +singularly alert in behalf of the neglected and unfortunate, set her +in the year 1867 to teaching two or three Chinese at her house. These +were servants in families. Meantime the boy employed in my own +house--since favorably known as our chief helper in missionary work, +Jee Gam--was spelling out, by the aid of my little girls and their +mother, the mysteries of our English language, and little by little +learning the great mystery of godliness. Interest deepened in the two +or three who were thus drawn together. So, Mrs. Lynde's little class +was transferred to our chapel, and soon became a prominent and +hopeful department of our Sunday-school. It was a rare pleasure given +me to receive, in 1870, the first three Chinamen known as admitted to +membership by confession of faith in an English-speaking church in +this land. + +For several years I had the opportunity of direct participation in +this new missionary movement, often taking my place as teacher of the +new alphabet and guide to the pronunciation of many unphonetic words. +At first there was novelty about it and it was comparatively easy to +obtain even the numerous teachers which this work requires. But as +the novelty wore off it became more difficult to find and keep +volunteers in sufficient numbers. Besides, a demand arose for more +than the hour of the Sunday-school service. The eagerness to learn +and the increasing acquisition of some called for a more constant and +continuous drill. So has come about the system of schools carried on, +under the American Missionary Association's appropriations and our +California gifts, by the "California Chinese Mission." + +I bear glad witness to the large measure of devotion with which this +work has been conducted. It is precisely the kind of work to bring +out the best qualities of Christian character in those who are +responsibly engaged in it. The motives for engaging in it drawn from +any other than the purest Christian fountains are few indeed. The men +and women, who, within my knowledge, have given their time and heart +to it, have long been among my "evidences of Christianity." To the +poor the Gospel has been preached by them. Several of those most +interested during the early years, as superintendents or teachers, +have been laid aside or have "gone home." But there can be no doubt +that the Master has said to them, "Inasmuch as ye did it unto the +least of my disciples, ye have done it unto me." + +For this is pre-eminently the work which makes its appeal to the few. +To sustain it pecuniarily as well as otherwise, must pertain to those +who give, hoping for nothing in kind again. Those here who would +give, perhaps, to help Africans on the Congo, cannot always be +appealed to in behalf of this cause. A worthy Christian friend who +has charge of a Sunday-school consulted me about a gift he was +interesting his scholars to make to some missionary. Whom could I +suggest? It was natural, being on this Pacific sea, to suggest a +laborer in northern China. It was amusing to see how quickly he +dropped my suggestion as if it were something very hot. Why, it would +not do at all to mention China in that school. It would kill his +darling missionary proposition completely. This illustrates not by +any means a universal feeling here, but a feeling which is quite too +prevalent. And there are many who would help to teach the Mongolians +if they were to be taught _where they belong_, who would be almost +offended to be asked to help in their education here. So all the more +admirable, in the face of public sentiment here, is it that so many +noble workers and givers have been found to sustain this work. For is +not this, of all others, the enterprise which "takes the gold right +out of the country?" + +I overheard an intelligent gentleman, a member of Congress, and born +in my native Massachusetts, express the duly considered opinion that +the Chinese mind is so organized that it cannot be expected to +entertain the Christian ideas. It illustrated the sad fact that it +takes a long time for even Americans to entertain and be molded by +those ideas. This gentleman might easily have found scores of humble +servants and laborers of this "unassimilable" race in his own city +who had come as truly in the power of Him, who is the Truth, as any +of us. For it is the testimony of all who are acquainted with the +facts that as large a proportion of those Chinese who take the +Christian name "adorn the doctrine" as do those who take that name +from among the Caucasian families. Indeed, the proportion may, +perhaps, be larger. For what can ordinarily induce a Chinaman to +espouse the Christian standing here unless it be the genuine +appreciation of Christian truth and the response of his heart to the +love of God as shown in the cross of Christ? + + * * * * * + +BUREAU OF WOMAN'S WORK. + +MISS D. E. EMERSON, SECRETARY. + + +Our readers will recall an article issued in this department of the +April "Missionary" entitled "A Plan with Reasons." We are happy to +report that a good many cheering words in approval of the plan have +reached us, and not a few of a practical character. We select from +the latter the following: + + +FROM NEW YORK. + +--I have received a delightful letter from our teacher at the Santee +Agency, and our Committee are much pleased with her account of her +work. I have directed our Treasurer to send to your A. M. A. +Treasurer the first quarterly payment on account of the $150 +appropriated, and trust it will reach you in due season. Our payments +will be made hereafter May 1, Aug. 1 and Nov. 1, as we are dependent +on our weekly collections, and hence cannot pay oftener than +quarterly. + +--Inclosed find $40 for two shares in support of a missionary +teacher, from whom we may receive a monthly letter. + + +FROM MASSACHUSETTS. + +--Inclosed please find $20. Our Ladies' Benevolent Society wish to +take one share in the expense of a lady missionary teacher, from whom +we shall enjoy letters, hoping in this way to call out more interest +in the work. + +--A recent circular from you was read to our ladies by our pastor's +wife, to whom it was sent. We have no separate organization for the +Am. Miss. Assoc. but our ladies contribute something to its +funds--though probably not enough to take a full share in the support +of a teacher. Encouraged by what you say in the circular, we write to +ask that we may be included in the list of those to whom monthly +letters will be sent, as promised to those who take one or more +shares. We are small and few, but the interest is genuine, and we +want to increase it. Our contribution goes into the general fund. + + +FROM MINNESOTA. + +--Last week, on a very stormy day, with less than twenty ladies +present, the subject of taking shares in the support of a missionary +teacher was introduced, and a little over $40 pledged, to be paid +before October. I felt very much encouraged, and shall do all I can +to increase the amount, though I am too much of a stranger--having +been here but a year--to have any idea what we can raise. You +promised us letters from our missionary if we took but one of the $20 +shares; so we shall hope to receive them. After another month I hope +to send you word about a much larger pledge. + +--Ours is a country church, laboring under the disadvantage of +constant depletion of our younger members; the twin cities of St. +Paul and Minneapolis are close by, and our broad frontier also +attracts strongly. Last year a determined few, by great exertion, +raised almost $100 for division among the Am. Board, A. H. M. S. and +A. M. A. The outlook is not encouraging for this year, and, as a +regular correspondent might add interest to our small meeting, we +voted yesterday to take one share; and should we succeed better than +we hope, our rule of division will give you one-third, whatever the +amount may be. We need more prayer for warm hearts and the open hand. + + +FROM OHIO. + +--We have been reading "A Plan, with the Reasons," and like it much. +We have a class of young girls in our church who ought to be in +missionary work. Can you give us a little fuller account of the work? +and do you have teachers among the poor white women of the South? +Please let us hear soon from you; we want an object to work for. We +may not be able to do very much, but would like to do something. + + * * * * * + +ALABAMA WOMAN'S MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION. + +MISS M. K. LUNT. + + +The annual meeting of the Alabama Woman's Missionary Association was +held in the prayer-room of the Congregational church in Montgomery, +Monday, March 31. The devotional exercises were conducted by the +President of the Association, Mrs. H. S. De Forest, who gave the +opening address, welcoming the members of the local societies, now +numbering seven. + +The reports of the Secretaries and delegates showed an increase of +interest, labor, and funds collected, as well as a constant growth in +missionary intelligence. + +Nearly all the societies have remembered the foreign work and the +Indians, in addition to their own needs and people, and have shown a +deep interest in the advancement of Christian education. + +Mrs. Ragland, the wife of one of the Talladega theologians, read a +paper upon Home Influence, the prominent points of which were filial +obedience, the important place the wife, mother, and daughter fill in +the home, and the importance of training the daughter in domestic +duties. + +Mrs. Ash, whose husband was an acceptable pastor in one of the A. M. +A. churches, and who not long since was called home, read a paper, +giving a comprehensive history of the work of the American Missionary +Association in the South, relating incidents connected with the +earlier teachings, and showing how the work had broadened, and +brought into the ranks the colored people. + +Mrs. Andrews, of Talladega, prepared a paper on the "Origin and +History of Our Alabama Movement in Woman's Work," read by Miss +Partridge, giving a full development of the organization and growth +of the society during its seven years' existence, and showing how +much greater results are accomplished by organized effort and unity +of action, and advising that the relation of this society as an +auxiliary to the W. H. M. A. of Boston be severed and become allied +to the Woman's Bureau of New York, which has the Southern field under +its special care; referring also to the interest, courtesy and +sympathy which the Boston society had always shown toward the Alabama +branch. + +Mrs. O. F. Curtis, of Emerald Grove, Wis., was present, who has two +sons in the South as missionaries and one on the foreign field--Rev. +W. W. Curtis, of Japan--who addressed the meeting on the condition of +the women and girls in that country; what is being done by the +missionaries to lead them to Christ; also speaking of the hindrances +to the Christian religion. + +This interesting meeting could not fail to awaken a deeper interest +in the hearts of all present, and we believe that no one left without +feeling that she had gained a new impulse to renewed consecration and +work for the Master. + + * * * * * + +SUNDAY-SCHOOL WORK AT TOUGALOO. + +MISS JOSEPHINE KELLOGG. + + +The Sunday-school of this Institution has always--under the present +management at least--been considered one of the most important, if +not the most important means of grace and spiritual enlightenment. +The power of sustained attention and consecutive thought is greatly +lacking in all untrained minds; hence the superiority of the +hand-to-hand question-and-answer method of the class-room over the +sermon as a means of informing the mind and clearing away the rubbish +of superstition and the misapprehensions of meaning, derived from the +ignorant preachers who have been in many cases the only previous +expounders of the word, and resulting also from a very vague and +limited understanding of the language of the Bible, the +preacher--even the teacher. + +It would be impossible for one new to the work to even _grasp at_ the +distorted images and superstitious misconceptions connected with +religious subjects in the minds of the more ignorant colored people +without the free interchange of personal conversation. So for years +the Sunday-school has been placed at the head of the Sabbath services +here, and given the forenoon, the review by the Superintendent +occupying the time of a short sermon, with the lesson for the day, +already explained and impressed by the several teachers, for its +text. Later in the day class prayer-meetings are held, and here young +Christians learn to take up the cross of bearing testimony for +Christ, and making audible prayer for themselves and others. Many of +the scholars feel these meetings to be very valuable. + +At the close of the school year a Sunday-school Convention is held, +and it is urged as a duty upon all Christian students who go out to +teach that they should organize and conduct Sabbath schools in +connection with their day schools. + +We have recently received two donations of library books, so that we +now have enough to go once around, and we loan them out each Sunday. +We also generally have papers to distribute, sent us by kind and +careful Sunday-school scholars in the North who make their papers do +double duty. If some school changing song-books would send our school +a hundred or more well-preserved copies of those they lay aside, it +would be a gift highly appreciated. + +One of our neighbors is a good Mother in Israel, who has always taken +a warm interest in this institution in all its departments and +appreciated its uplifting influence upon her people. She belongs to +one of the branches of the Methodist Church, and felt that she wanted +something done for the improvement and revival of interest in the +schools of that denomination in the vicinity. Accordingly, she worked +up a S. S. Convention among them last Fall, and invited Mr. Pope and +some others of us to go and help to make it profitable. We could not +get off until after dinner and might as well not have gone at all. +Soon after our entrance a young man introduced a resolution that +superintendents and teachers be _compelled_ to be at their schools at +the hour set for opening. One of the preachers rose and said that +teachers _could not_ be _compelled_, and moved as an amendment that +they be _acquired_ to come promptly. + +Then ensued along, windy, wordy controversy on "compelling" and +"acquiring." Seeing no prospect of a conclusion we withdrew. The good +auntie who had invited us followed us out in deep humiliation. I +said, we are sorry to go without contributing something to the +interest of the meeting, but this is such a waste of time, there is +no coming to the point. "That's jus' so, dear," she said, "but that +their ign'rance. Ign'rance _does_ waste time, honey. _Ign'rance can't +come to a pint._" That last sentence struck me as a piece of +epigrammatic wisdom. + + * * * * * + +CHILDREN'S PAGE + + * * * * * + +WONG NING'S IDEAS + +AS EXPRESSED BY HIMSELF. + + + [Wong Ning is no imaginary character. He is a real + flesh-and-blood Chinese boy, living in San Francisco, and much + interested in the new and many sided life going on about him. So + we are glad to give you, in his own words, a few of his + observations on American life and manners.] + +My name is Wong Ning. I born on home China, come to this country when +thirteen years old, and been here now seven year. + +Little boy have very hard time on home China. Have to get up and go +to school at six o'clock--very early that--come home, get breakfast +at eight o'clock, and lunch at twelve o'clock; then stay till six +o'clock in the day. I no think American boy like that! + +Little girl no go to school _at all_! Very funny, that! Have one big +house, on home China, where all the girls go every day; learn to sew, +make the pretty things, the flowers, the birds, everything! by the +needle. Little girl no speak to the boy--no! never! on home China. + +On home China every one like the mother very much; give everything to +she. If a China boy no like the mother, no work hard for she, no send +she everything--Oh! horrible! _very bad!_ All the sons marry, bring +home the wife to wait on she. Not like the wife so much as the +mother, on home China. + +The woman--the wife, the mother, the little girl--all work in the +house--sew, cook, make the cloth, everything! When they make the +dinner or the lunch, set the table very nice, put on everything; then +run behind the curtain (no have any door on home China), and then the +man--the father, the son, the little boy--all come in, sit down, eat +the dinner; eat him all up. Pretty soon, by and by, the woman--the +mother, the wife, the little girl--come quiet, lift up the curtain. +If he all gone, can come eat; if no, can not come. _Yes! Sure!_ + +I go to school at night, learn to read and write; I think English +very hard. I been work for the Jew family, the Irish family, and the +Spanish family. I think my English get too much funny--so many kinds +of language. Now I work for the American family; like it more better. + +I been here so long, and go to school so much, that I understand the +English more better than China. _Very funny that!_ When my cousin, at +the wash-house, send me the letter to come take dinner with he, he +have to write it in English, and the lady I work for, she laugh very +much. + +I get one letter this morning. (My American name Charley). Here the +letter: + + "Mr. Chily, you Please come to Kum Lee this evening to take + dinder, because Lee chong go to home China this week. Ah Do and + Ah Sing all come in to if soon as you can good by WONG VOO." + +I know plenty stories about on home China. You ever hear about Kong +foo-too?--American call him Confucius--he very great man. + +Maybe you like, I tell you one story. He live about two, three +thousand year ago, _yes!_ _sure!_ He travel every city, teach +Chinaman--that very good. + +One city he no came--that Canton--one very big place inside three big +walls. Kong-foo-too, or Confucius, he come to Canton, and try to come +in the gate--very big gate. + +One little boy there seven years old. I think that little boy too +smart. He making play of a little city, and building three little +walls around it, all the same like Canton. He took up too much room, +and talk too smart, so that Confucius cannot get in. + +He watch him a little while, then he say, "I guess Canton all right; +this boy can teach Canton. I go some other place." _That very bad!_ +Next year that boy died--_very strange that_! So Canton never get any +teaching, not from boy, not from Kong-foo-too. I think not very good +for little boy to be too smart.--_St. Nicholas._ + + * * * * * + +RECEIPTS FOR APRIL, 1884. + + * * * * * + +MAINE, $257.77. + + Augusta. "J. S."

Crittenton_: + +DEAR SIR: I wish to call your attention to the good your Sulphur Soap +has done me. For nearly fourteen years I have been troubled with a +skin humor resembling salt rheum. I have spent nearly a small fortune +for doctors and medicine, but with only temporary relief. I commenced +using your "Glenn's Sulphur Soap" nearly two years ago--used it in +baths and as a toilet soap daily. My skin is now as clear as an +infant's, and no one would be able to tell that I ever had a skin +complaint. I would not be without the soap if it cost five times the +amount. + + Yours respectfully, + + M. H. MORRIS. + LICK HOUSE, San Francisco, Cal. + + +The above testimonial is indisputable evidence that Glenn's Sulphur +Soap will eliminate poisonous Skin Diseases WHEN ALL OTHER MEANS HAVE +FAILED. To this fact thousands have testified; and that it will +banish lesser afflictions, such as common PIMPLES, ERUPTIONS and +SORES, and keep the skin clear and beautiful, is absolutely certain. +For this reason ladies whose complexions have been improved by the +use of this soap NOW MAKE IT A CONSTANT TOILET APPENDAGE. The genuine +always bears the name of C. N. CRITTENTON, 115 Fulton street, New +York, sole proprietor.

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. diff --git a/29556.zip b/29556.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..390f170 --- /dev/null +++ b/29556.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.
