NO. 2. - - * * * * * - - - - -American Missionary Association. - - * * * * * - - -By the time this number of the MISSIONARY reaches our readers our -Annual Report for 1880 will be through the press. We shall be happy -to forward it to any of our friends who will send us their name and -address, signifying their desire to have it. - - * * * * * - -This number of the AMERICAN MISSIONARY contains a complete list -of the names of the persons appointed for the current year to the -different fields where this Association carries on its work at home -and abroad. We commend the work and the workers to the great Lord -of the harvest, and to all those who utter the prayer He has taught -us to offer, “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, in earth, as it -is in heaven.” - - * * * * * - -It is the belief of this Association that conversion is the proper -door into the kingdom of science, as well as to the kingdom of -Heaven. Our teachers and pastors, therefore, seek to bring those -who come under their instruction to a knowledge of the truth as it -is in Jesus, in order that they may be qualified to know aright -and properly appropriate all knowledge. We are glad, therefore, to -be able to refer our readers to letters from the field, in this -number, as evidence that revival work is going on at different -points throughout the South. - - * * * * * - -Letters from our various stations at the South remind us, as we -would remind our friends, that this winter is a hard one for the -colored people, and that our missionaries really need more money -and more clothing to distribute than in ordinary winters. We quote -from one letter, which must serve for all: “As I write, the ground -is covered with snow to the depth of about six inches, the first -we have seen since 1876. By reason of the unprepared condition of -the poor people here, living in open shanties and scantily supplied -with clothing and food, this season of excessive cold is especially -hard to endure.” Contributions of money and clothing to relieve -this pressing and immediate want may be sent to the care of H. W. -Hubbard, Treasurer, 56 Reade street, New York City. - - * * * * * - -We are glad to know that the Rev. A. D. Mayo, one of the editors -of the _Journal of Education_, is making an extended tour of the -South, and will hold Teachers’ Institutes and deliver courses of -lectures in its chief educational centres. We shall await with -great interest the report of what he sees and learns during his -visit, and expect valuable suggestions from one who, to his wide -experience as an educator shall add an accurate knowledge of the -present condition of that part of the country. - - * * * * * - -At the Annual Meeting in Norwich, the Committee on foreign work -recommended that a superintendent of African missions be secured -at once. The Executive Committee, after careful inquiry, made -selection of Rev. H. M. Ladd, a much beloved pastor of Walton, N. -Y., who has written: - -“I hereby accept the position, praying the Great Head of the church -for His blessing upon the arduous work undertaken in His name, -looking for His help, without which we can do nothing, but with -which we can do all things. I shall endeavor to enter upon the work -of the Association on the 1st of February.” - -We sympathize with his people in their great loss and congratulate -them on the valuable gift they make to the cause of the Master. - - * * * * * - -_The Southern Workman_, published at Hampton, Va., is, -mechanically, a fair and most creditable specimen of the work done -in the industrial department of the Hampton school; its editorial -management proves that men good for something else are devoting -their talents to negro education, while its columns show that -intelligent minds giving promise of future usefulness are being -trained in the school, and the paper, as a whole, gives an adequate -idea of the work being done and yet to be done in such schools. Our -friends who would at once have a very readable paper, keep informed -on all phases of the Hampton work, and contribute something to -support a most worthy enterprise, can do all this by sending to -Gen. Armstrong the price of the _Southern Workman_. - - * * * * * - -“An Old Friend,” of Sag Harbor, New York, sends $30 for a Christmas -certificate of Life Membership for one of his friends, the -twenty-sixth Life Member of this Association which he has made. He -has earned the right to say: “Urge others to make their friends -Life Members, and thus add to the friends of the Society, and -increase the number of those who will take an interest in the good -work.” - -Another “Old Friend” who has celebrated his eighty-fifth -Thanksgiving, sends $30 as a very suitable wedding present of -a Life Membership to his son’s wife, having made all _his_ own -children members. - -These are happy suggestions for happy occasions. - - * * * * * - - -VALUE OF DR. TANNER’S EXPERIMENT. - -This is not to be found in the fact that after all a man must eat -or die; this we more than suspected before the Doctor’s experiment; -neither has he settled how long a man may do without food; but he -has shown conclusively that starvation, as a mode of living, is not -economical, and that a life thus sustained is not worth anything. -It cost a great deal to keep him alive, and the utmost he could do -was to be driven out for a daily airing. - -This lesson constitutes the sole value of his elaborate and painful -experiment: A man who is to do anything must be properly nourished; -plenty of good, wholesome food is cheaper than a diet of ice-water. - -Good friends, we need not repeat the Doctor’s experiment to prove -that the policy of starvation is a mistaken policy, and is every -way expensive and hurtful. The question is not how long can a life -be sustained at the point of starvation, which is also the point of -utter worthlessness, but how much can a life properly nourished be -made to accomplish? - -Our parable needs no explanation. Three hundred and fifty thousand -dollars is the least sum that should be named as at all adequate to -the highest efficiency of our school and church work. We can _live_ -on less, but by so much as we fall short of this by so much are we -hampered and crippled. - -The work we have to do is a work that must be done, and we, the -churches of the country, have it to do. It becomes, of course, a -question of wise economy in the expenditure of means. We point -again to the lesson taught us and reiterate it: Starvation is not -economy! The condition of greatest efficiency is that of abundant -life blood; and for the work of the A. M. A. for 1881, this means -at least three hundred and fifty thousand dollars. - - * * * * * - - -FREEMASONRY. - -In the MISSIONARY for October, 1880, an item appeared, copied -mainly from an Atlanta paper, giving some statistics in regard -to the colored people of that city. It named the amount of their -taxable property, their industrial pursuits, and benevolent and -charitable institutions--the Odd Fellows and Masonic lodges being -mentioned among the number. Of all these institutions the article -quoted said that they have encouraged the people “to form habits of -sobriety and economy, and imbued them with feelings of charity and -benevolence.” - -It has been thought by some of our friends that quoting this -remark was an endorsement by us of Masonry and Odd Fellowship. We -wish explicitly to deny the correctness of such an inference. The -executive officers of this Association have no sympathy with secret -oath-bound Societies, and the MISSIONARY, on fitting occasions, has -spoken plainly on the subject. Thus in 1873, the present Secretary -of the Association wrote, and, with the hearty concurrence of his -fellow-officers, published, in the August number of that year, the -following article: - -“Attention has been called anew to this subject, by the refusal of -an ecclesiastical council at the West to ordain a young man to the -ministry, for what was regarded as a too tenacious adhesion to the -Lodge. Of the merits of that case we are not well enough informed -to pronounce a judgment, but it is clear to us that the growth -and power of Masonry is no light matter. The principle of secret -organization is unsuitable to a Republican government, and contrary -to the open spirit of Christianity. Among the colored people the -prevalence of Masonry would be a great evil--involving a waste of -time and an expenditure of money they are little able to bear, as -well as exposing them to undue political influences, and diverting -their attention from an intelligent and pure Christianity--their -only hope. Our teachers and ministers at the South already see -these effects beginning to appear, and deprecate them.” - -Nothing has occurred since that time to modify, except to -intensify, these convictions, and the attitude and influence of our -schools and churches in the South have been wholly and decidedly -opposed to these secret societies, as many facts, if necessary, -would testify. - - * * * * * - - -NATIONAL EDUCATION--PREPARATION FOR IT. - -In connection with the educational bill, which passed the Senate -last week, a word concerning the American Missionary Association. -Are we to have a national uprising of popular sentiment and -legislative action with reference to the education of all peoples -within our borders, but especially in the South? How signally, in -the providence of God, did this Association forecast the need, and -how wonderfully has it, these years past, been preparing the way. -If it had done no more, it has proved to all the world, past all -cavil, this--the cultivability of the negro, the practicability of -education for the poor blacks and also for the “poor whites” of the -South. Its Christian schools of all grades, planted here and there -in all the States, have led the way and established beginnings -of the utmost importance. These schools, by the sheer force of -their own excellence, and results so signal as to arrest universal -attention, have lived down the most desperate prejudices, and -commanded the most emphatic testimonials from all classes and from -those highest in authority. Never has a grand Christian enterprise -shown itself more certain of good results; never did a benevolent -undertaking more remarkably manifest its self-perpetuating, -self-propagating force. It has given a new complexion to the entire -“negro problem” in this country. It has successfully asserted the -right of the lowliest of all citizens to share in the benefits -and advantages of education. The Association, by the largeness of -its plans, the boldness of its project, the manifestation on the -spot of its work, by its public advocacy throughout the North, has -served to press constantly upon the public attention the exact -nature of the great emergency in the field of popular education. -When were ever before the wisdom of a measureless benevolence and -the audacity of a glorious faith more manifestly justified in their -results? - -But will not the new Congressional scheme for promoting popular -education in the States of the South, render somewhat less urgent -the work and the claim of the American Missionary Association? By -no means! Just the reverse is true. Money alone will not educate -anybody. If the first need be that of more money, at least the -second necessity will be that of _suitable teachers_. Precisely -here, to meet this necessity, is seen the almost prophetic, -certainly the providential, anticipatory work of the Association, -getting things ready for the great stroke of truly national -statesmanship now proposed. - -To say that the American Missionary Association _should_ have, at -once, placed at its disposal five times its present resources to -meet the new exigency, would be to make a statement altogether -temperate, considerate and reasonable. The opportunity is one that -is transcendently inviting.--_Rev. S. Gilbert in The Advance._ - - * * * * * - - -THE APPEAL OF THE EXODUS. - -We have kept a close watch upon this strange inter-State migration, -the causes of which will make a blushing page in the history of our -country. Its sad story should be a strong appeal to all who have a -heart to feel for the wrongs and sufferings of the helpless. - -After many urgent solicitations, and repeated investigations, we -felt, despite all hindrances from lack of funds, that the time -had fully come for action, when we were informed that the General -Association of Kansas had appointed its Superintendent of Home -Missions, the President of its College and others, a Committee, to -confer with us in regard to this work. - -The Corresponding Secretary and the Field Superintendent went up -from the National Council to consult with this Committee and -inaugurate such a movement as might seem best. - -At Topeka, which has a large colored population, were found the -General Committee of Relief, and a committee of Refugees, whose -duty it is to take charge of arrivals, departures, etc., and watch -the subsequent course of these people. It was decided to purchase -lots in Tennessee Town, a suburb of this city, and erect a house -at a cost of $1,000, under the superintendence of our old, tried -worker, Rev. R. F. Markham, and we are glad to announce that, -despite the cold weather, it is nearly ready for occupancy. - -This is to be the home of our night school for adults under charge -of Mr. and Mrs. White, of Oberlin. The pupils of this school -are excluded from the public schools because of their age, and -because they are necessarily occupied through the day. In it also -will be sheltered the vigorous mission Sunday-school which Pastor -Blakesley’s church has sustained, and which will be under charge -of Mr. A. J. De Hart, a young colored man from Washburn College, -recently ordained by a council at Cleveland, Ohio. - -We have also located one of our Southern colored preachers--a young -man--in the Second Congregational Church of Lawrence, where there -is also a large colored population. Other points on this frontier -of colored population will be kept in view. - -Of the $2,500 which this work will cost for the year the citizens -of Topeka have raised $700, and we have on hand a Kansas fund of -$450. This leaves still $1,350 to be raised as a special sum, as -this work is not provided for in the regular appropriations for the -year. - -The Executive Committee, urged as it has been, both by our friends -and by the pressing need of this much abused and suffering people, -has ventured on this expenditure, confident that it is a duty which -must not be neglected, also that our friends will meet the exigency -by sending in promptly the amount needed. - -“These children of the dispersion,” peeled and torn, stretch -out their hands to us again! Shall we not hear in their cry the -pleadings of the Saviour for these, the weakest of his suffering -children, and account this extra gift as but a small portion of the -double recompense due them for their redoubled wrongs? - - * * * * * - - -NOVEMBER REPORT TO THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. - -REV. J. E. ROY, D. D. - -On the day after the election, I left my home at Atlanta to attend -in Memphis the Central South Conference and the Council for the -installation of a pastor, Mr. B. A. Imes, of Oberlin Seminary. -In the Conference I drew up the memorial which was presented to -the National Council in behalf of a re-statement of our Creed and -Catechism, urging the peculiar need of our Southern work, and -preached on the Lord’s day, once in our Second church and once in -the Second Presbyterian, lately that of Dr. Boggs. As moderator -of the installing council, I led in the examination and delivered -the charge to the people. Both bodies I reported daily in the -_Memphis Appeal_; wrote them up in a “Pilgrim” letter to the -_Congregationalist_, and gave their items to the _Advance_ and -_Christian Union_. - -As a delegate from Georgia in the National Council at St. Louis, -your field superintendent nominated as assistant moderator Rev. -J. D. Smith (colored), of Alabama, who was elected on the first -ballot, and secured the appointment of Rev. Drs. Sturtevant and -Goodell to offer fellowship to the Presbyterian General Assembly -South, hoping for some incidental benefit to our work. - -At Dr. Strieby’s request I went on with him to Kansas for the -purpose of initiating our Refugee mission, for which a lot was -bought and a house contracted for at Topeka. - -Thence I went down to Paris, in Texas, to assist in the ordination -of two of our Talladega men, J. W. Roberts as pastor in that city, -and J. W. Strong to take the pastorate in Corpus Christi. Spending -five days there, I preached for our church in Paris, also for -the white Congregational church which I had organized six years -ago, planned for a new church site and building, and visited and -preached for our country church at Pattonville, twelve miles out, -arranging for the supply of this and two other little churches by -local preachers. - -At Little Rock, Ark., I explored and found the fit material for a -Congregational church to be organized as soon as we can have the -money. In time we must have for Arkansas one of our first-class -institutions at this beautiful capital, which has seven or eight -thousand colored people, and which is the centre of a large -population of Freedmen. - -In three days, at Tougaloo, I inspected the Institution; counselled -with the managers as to building schemes; lectured on “How to make -money,--by labor, economy, education, investment;” and delivered -a missionary address and a sermon, being permitted to rejoice -that day with the teacher in the conversion of one of their most -interesting young men. - -The tour, which was one of 2,804 miles, occupied a month. The cost -of travel was $88.15, unusually large, even for so long a trip, as -I had to use the two great roads leading to Texas, which decline -the usual ministerial courtesies. With five nights of riding, and -only two of those in sleeping cars, with a steady push in travel -and in work, it was a wearying tour. The postage of the month, -$4.55, shows the amount of correspondence kept up along the way -with the “field.” - -In contrast with the two railroads referred to, I wish to -report that I have in hand the annual _half-fare_ permits of -_twenty-eight_ railroad companies in the South, nearly all that -I have occasion to use, besides an _annual free pass_, held now -for two years, on Senator Joseph E. Brown’s road from Atlanta to -Chattanooga, which I use a great deal. Having received marked and -unvarying courtesy from the officials of all of these companies -(and, indeed, from everybody South as yet, without exception), I -count it a testimony to the recognized position of the American -Missionary Association in the South that these favors have been -granted so generally and so cheerfully. - - * * * * * - - -GENERAL NOTES. - - -Africa. - ---In South Africa, where Dr. Moffat waited years for a conversion, -there are 50,000 Christians. - ---In almost every leading town in Egypt, from Alexandria to Assouan -on the First Cataract, mission stations have been founded by the -United Presbyterians. - ---Four persons have offered to take up the mission work in the -field left vacant by the death of the Rev. Dr. Bushnell, of the -Gaboon, Africa. - ---From their possessions in Algeria, the French are projecting a -trans-Sahara railroad from the Mediterranean coast to Timbuctoo, on -the Niger; and another from Senegal to the Niger. The English are -planning four other railways to the interior of Africa. If these -plans are carried out, new districts of the vast continent will be -brought within easy reach of the Christian missionary. - ---_Mr. Arthington at a breakfast meeting in Leeds._--At a -convention of the Baptist Churches in Leeds, England, the following -minute was passed unanimously: “Resolved, that this meeting, on -behalf of the Leeds Churches, pledges itself to raise a sum not -exceeding £500, which shall be employed in supplementing Mr. Robert -Arthington’s gift of £1,000 for the purchase of a steamer to be -placed on the Congo River.” Mr. Arthington himself was present, and -delivered a most interesting address on the claims of mission work -in Africa. - ---At the Livingstonia Mission Dr. Laws has already trained one -native of the country to be a teacher among the Angoni, and has -two others in preparation. Mrs. Laws has received a sewing-machine -from Glasgow, and has taught two native girls to work it. Money has -been introduced to the country, as have also the rites of Christian -marriage. - ---On August 22d, Archdeacon D. C. Crowther baptized 27 converts at -Bonny, in the presence of a congregation numbering no less than 842 -persons. One of the candidates was Orumbi, the rich woman who has -been holding daily family worship for all her dependents. - ---Bishop Crowther was recently visited by a wealthy chief from -Okrika, a town of 10,000 people, 40 miles from Bonny, who informed -him that his people had built a church for Christian worship, to -hold 500, which was filled every Sabbath to listen to the reading -of the service by a school boy from the Brass Mission. - ---Mr. Felkin has fulfilled his commission in seeing the Waganda -envoys safe to Zanzibar, and in paying a visit to Frere Town. At -the latter place, the missionaries have been instructed with regard -to runaway slaves, and the disturbances threatened recently are -likely to be avoided. - ---There is said to be a marked difference between the tribes on -the eastern and those on the western shore of the Tanganyika Lake. -The former have neither images nor idols, while the latter have -both, in great numbers. An image is found at the entrance of every -village, and of nearly every hut. These are carved in the shape of -human figures. The art of carving exists in great perfection among -some of the tribes. - ---R. M. Wanzer, of Hamilton, Ontario, is running his immense sewing -machine factory largely with gold received from Africa, from the -sale of more than 100,000 of his machines in that country. It -is not until we have seen orders from the agents of one great -manufacturing establishment like this, that any adequate idea is -formed of the extent to which our civilization is being introduced -into that dark continent. We may well hope that when the native -African is royally clad in long, flowing robes, made from American -prints, on American sewing machines, that he will be ready to -listen to the Gospel from the lips of him who represents these -material blessings. - - * * * * * - - -The Indians. - ---“If you want to civilize the Indians you must keep from them -schools and churches.” - -If you want to civilize the Indians you must keep from them -intelligence and morality. - -If you want to civilize the Indians you must keep from them -civilization itself. - -The first remark above was made by a somewhat celebrated scientist -at a great meeting of scientific people in Boston, last summer. -The last two we simply intended to give emphasis to the first. We -think the biggest argument that we can make against this scientific -conclusion is to say nothing about it.--_Exchange._ - ---On the 6th of November, the Indian school at Carlisle, Pa., -welcomed fifteen new students: four boys and three girls from the -Menomonees at Green Bay Agency, and four boys and four girls from -the Sisseton Sioux Agency; an exceptionally bright and promising -delegation. An Apache boy, captured by the 4th Cavalry in Arizona, -six years ago, has also been admitted to the school, thus making -the total number 212. - ---Recently, at the Cheyenne Agency, Walter Matches, one of the -Florida boys, was married to Emma, formerly a scholar at the -boarding-school. The teachers of the school, where the wedding took -place, prepared an entertainment to which all the Florida boys -were invited, and the occasion is described as having been a very -pleasant one. The newly married couple are to live at the school, -where they are both employed, and we wish for them a life of great -happiness to themselves and usefulness to their people. - ---On the 6th day of October, the Carlisle Indian Training School -completed the first year of its history. At a little impromptu -gathering of the school and its teachers and helpers, on the -evening of that day, the children were asked to vote for, or -against, continuing the school work. Every hand went up in favor -of continuing it, and some of the boys even stood up and held up -both hands. Speeches were in order. Everybody was happy and many -reminiscences were brought out with much incentive to continued -effort. - ---That a great wrong has been done the Poncas, all parties agree. -Who is responsible for this wrong is not at present so important -as the question whether as Bright Eyes asserts, and the Boston -Committee believe, a still greater wrong is attempted in the effort -now making to have them relinquish their title to their own homes -in Dakota on the false pretence that it is their own desire to -do so. That the Hon. Carl Schurz, so far from being a friend of -the Indian, is the most unscrupulous enemy he has ever had, we -shall believe only when the proof is overwhelming. The delegation -which has gone out to investigate, goes with some very decided -convictions on this subject, but its report, whether favorable or -adverse, will doubtless be accepted as just to all concerned. - - * * * * * - - -The Chinese. - ---Our Chinese brethren on the Pacific coast have organized a -society called the “Congregational Association of Christian -Chinese.” They have a General Association and several branch -Societies. Mr. Jee Gam, the Secretary, reports the following -interesting facts and figures: - -The Central has 107 members, of whom 11 were received, and 11 have -been baptized, the past year. Six are now absent in China. Total -contributions, $265.55. - -Bethany Branch, San Francisco, has 23 members, of whom 6 were -received the past year, and 4 baptized. One member expelled. -Contributions, $112.00. - -Marysville--Eleven members; all received the past year. Two have -been expelled. Contributions, $98.00. - -Oakland--Thirty-two members; 2 received, and 2 expelled the past -year. One baptized. Three gone to China. Contributions, $643.25. - -Oroville--Six members, all added the past year. Contributions not -known. - -Petaluma--Two members, of whom one has recently been received. -Contributions not known. - -Sacramento--Thirty-two members; of whom 9 have been received, 5 -expelled, and 7 baptized, during the year. Two have gone to China. -Contributions, $225.35. - -Stockton--Nine members; 3 received, 2 expelled and 1 baptized -during the year. Contributions, $157.25. - -Besides the contributions noted above, a general collection has -been taken, amounting to $137.50. In the effort to free Bethany -Church, San Francisco, of debt, the Chinese members and friends -of that church contributed $212.50--of which $30.50 given in -Sacramento, and $13.00 in Stockton, are included in the amounts -given above. - -The total of gifts and offerings by the Chinese connected with our -Mission daring the past year cannot be less than $1,957.40. The -total membership, as above reported, is 222. Added the past year, -38. Baptized (including 2 at Santa Barbara), 26. Expelled, 10. - - * * * * * - - -ITEMS FROM THE FIELD. - -HAMPTON, VA.--Twelve students united with the church on the 1st -Sabbath of January, nearly all of them on profession of faith. -Seven of these were Dakota Indians. It was a beautiful sight. - -WASHINGTON, D. C.--The Lincoln Mission of this city has blossomed -into the Lincoln Memorial Church, which was organized by council -on the 10th of January with Rev. S. P. Smith installed at -the same time as pastor. The sermon was preached by Dr. Roy, -Field Superintendent, and the other parts were by Dr. Patton, -Dr. Chickering, Dr. Rankin, Rev. Mr. Grimke, of the Colored -Presbyterian Church, Rev. T. J. Holmes, of Baltimore, and Prof. -Fairfield. Music by the organist of Dr. Rankin’s church and his -superb choir. - -Mrs. Babcock, of Newburyport, Mass., has commenced missionary labor -with this church with every prospect of wide usefulness. She is -supported by the W. H. M. A., of Boston, under commission of the -A. M. A. This mission, in its Sunday-school work, runs back to the -day of the Nation’s martyr, whose name it bears. It has done a vast -deal of good, which has been garnered up in other churches round -about, and now it turns to care for its own. It has been sustained, -as it is now, mainly by Dr. Rankin’s people. The colored population -of the district is 60,000, with only 3,000 outside of the city. The -National Capital carries its share of the “wards.” - -AUGUSTA, GA.--Some of the colored people drew off from one of the -large churches to form a new one, and have been taking monthly -collections to build a church edifice. A little girl six years old -said she must have a nickel, for next Sunday was “throwing in” -Sunday, and she wanted to see that church built. Her mother said -she shouldn’t give her one, for she spent the last for candy and -she ought to have saved that. So she went off with a basket on -her arm, picked up bones and sold them for the five cents. Then a -friend gave her another and she remarked: “I believe I’ll put this -in, too, for _that church must be built_.” - -MACON, GA.--There seems to be a growing spirit of harmony among -the members. The Sunday-school has had an average attendance of -116, and is in a good state of efficiency and progress. It had -a very successful Christmas concert and “fruit tree,” and its -other occasional concerts have been interesting. Mr. and Mrs. -Lathrop have done as much missionary work as they could, and have -distributed quantities of clothing, etc., to the poor, among whom -there has been much real suffering from the severe weather. - -ATLANTA, GA.--It is refreshing to one’s soul to get into a live -prayer-meeting like ours last night. One good brother said, “This -thing what you call Christianity is no small thing. It starts -small, but it grows and grows and grows till it reaches out of -this world into the land we call Heaven.” Another faithful brother -always prays much, and especially for our school, and in his -remarks last evening gave as his opinion--“If ’twan’t for what’s -ben done on this yere block this city would be ten times worser’n -it is in ignorance ’n superstition. I hain’t no chillun o’ my own -and I dunno much about dealin’s with chillun, but I know dealin’s -with chillun ain’t no funny thing.” This evidently showed his -appreciation of our labor, and our hearts echoed his sentiments, -while we smiled at his quaintness and originality. - -SELMA, ALA.--The school is larger at this time than it has ever -been during the same months since my connection with it. The -enrolment for the present month is 339. We have this year quite -a number of young men in attendance, from our own and adjoining -counties. A course of lectures, intended mainly for the parents -of the scholars, has been determined upon, and two lectures have -been delivered by the pastors of the Methodist and Baptist churches -respectively. Others are purposed for each month of the school year. - -On Friday evening, 31st inst., there was a re-union of the Church. -The first hour was spent in preparatory exercises, for the coming -Communion service, after which greetings by letter were read by -the pastor and others, from those who had been connected with the -church as pastors, and absent sisters and brothers, all showing -a deep interest in the welfare and growth of the church. Then -followed remarks from those present, who had come from other States -and from Talladega College, giving us a description of their work -in the day and Sunday-schools, showing how much they appreciate the -advantages they have received and enjoyed, and are anxious to help -raise others to the same standard in spiritual and intellectual -advancement. - -MONTGOMERY, ALA.--This is a week of prayer and we are observing it. -While the weather has thus far been very unfavorable, afternoon -meetings have been excellent; though not large as to number, the -spirit of them has been very encouraging. We are laboring and -praying for a “quickening.” I think quite a number are seriously -thoughtful. We expected to receive two last Sabbath on profession, -but the terrible cold and snows of the week prevented us from -having our church preparatory service on Wednesday evening. There -has been a very decided advance in intelligent appreciation of the -Gospel and in spirituality, within the past year, although no real -increase in numbers. - -MEMPHIS, TENN.--The religious interest in the school has brought -great blessing and refreshing. On Thursday and Friday ten students -were led to give clear, whole-hearted testimony to an entire -change of heart and life. The school is moved through and through. -Scarcely a pupil of any age but is anxiously inquiring, as are many -of their friends outside. Some wonderful scenes and experiences are -given us and the entire work goes on most quietly, and, we trust, -thoroughly. We pray for the _whole school_. - - * * * * * - - -NEW APPOINTMENTS. - -1880-1881. - -The following list presents the names and post-office addresses -of those who are under appointment in the Churches, Institutions -and Schools aided by the American Missionary Association, among -the Freedmen in the South, the Chinese on the Pacific Coast, -the Indians, and the Negroes in Western Africa.

One girl -darned stockings for a gentleman to raise her part. We are much -pleased with the gratitude expressed for the aid furnished by this -Association in securing the new church: - - MARIETTA, GA., Dec. 9, 1880. - - Mr. Penny, dear sir, we have a nice little church in which we - have a splendid Sabbath school, and we have 5 classes my sister - is one of the teachers, myself and three little brothers attend - the Sunday school and like it very much and we have had three - very nice concerts which we injoyd very much, and we have a very - nice pastor and we all love him very much because he is so good - and kind, and we turn many thanks to that kind and benevolent - socitey who assisted us in building our nice little church and we - as Sunday school scolars wishes to mak that socitey a christmas - presant which will be the sum of 4 dollars and we would like to - do more but we are young and weak but we hope by the help of the - lord to be strong some day. - - from your little friend - ANNIE E. PORTER. - - * * * * * - - -Beach Institute. - -MISS G. HUNTER, SAVANNAH. - -We are receiving letters from our Northern friends inquiring if we -are asleep in Savannah. We repudiate the idea--we are fully wide -awake, although our work has not been represented recently in the -MISSIONARY. - -The weather and sickness prospectus at the beginning of the year -promised to be very disastrous to our missionary labors here. Since -our return it has rained almost consecutively for three months. -Notwithstanding the unusual cold and rain, our school record shows -a larger attendance at the Beach Institute than last year. - -It is astonishing to us teachers who come from the North, where the -children are sent to school clad in rubber clothing in inclement -weather, to see these boys and girls, so ill fitted to brave the -rain and cold, prompt and punctual in their attendance at the daily -sessions. In my department 70 boys and girls meet daily for secular -and religious instruction. Several of these children live at a -distance of from three to six miles, remaining without luncheon, -perhaps after an indifferent breakfast, the entire session. Every -day I see new proofs of appreciation in the parents and children: -they are beginning to realize the strenuous efforts of missionary -labor for their future prosperity and eternal salvation. What -more encouragement can we desire--looking into their eager faces -all aglow, and seeing the quiet submission at the lack of even -the necessary daily comforts that they may feed this great hungry -desire for knowledge? - -We have a weekly Bible meeting held every Monday afternoon -immediately after school, in the Principal’s room, conducted by -Miss Douglass. The children are interested and the attendance is -large. With the Bible in one hand and the text-book in the other, -we hope grand results for the next generation of the colored race. -Also we have a woman’s weekly prayer-meeting held at various -houses. Would I could take my readers with me to these little -gatherings of sincere, earnest women, praying for the salvation of -their fellow-people; singing “hallelujah” for that freedom from sin -worse than the bondage of slavery. The church work is progressing -under our minister. These people very quickly discover when the -Gospel is preached in an able and sincere manner, and are attentive -listeners, worshiping the Lord in a subdued and quiet way; a strong -contrast to their former modes and habits. We are preparing a list -of the names and residences of the Beach pupils for Miss Douglass, -who intends visiting the parents in a friendly and religious call. -The extreme cold and distress, to a people unprepared for it, call -upon us for extra exertions. Miss Douglass distributes donations -judiciously, and thoroughly inquires into the needs of the -recipients. Pray that the Lord will continue the blessing of life -and health, that we may toil on in faith and patience. - - * * * * * - - -ALABAMA. - -Missionary Work in Selma. - -MISS MARY K. LUNT. - -I find my work constantly increasing; indeed there is no limit, -only a lack of time and strength. Really, there is work enough for -two or three more, whose whole attention can be given to it. I am -happy to say that some of our colored sisters are able to give us -considerable help in missionary work, and we feel confident that -more aid from the younger ones may be expected. - -We have formed a society called “The Mission Workers,” the object -of which is to awaken a greater interest in home and foreign -missions. The proceeds of a sale which we are to have at Christmas -will be devoted to this purpose. - -Since beginning work in the fall I have called on one hundred and -thirty-three families. When convenient, as in most cases, I have -read the Bible and tracts or papers to the women, also offering -prayer with them; have established a weekly prayer-meeting for the -women, some distance from the Home; also one weekly in my room, in -which white and colored lead by turns. They are precious seasons -to us all, and we feel that a blessing is for us. Several of our -members, whose husbands are unconverted, meet in their homes to -pray for their conversion. Friends frequently present requests for -prayers. - -I have also quite a large class of married women and one young -man, reciting to me, in the afternoon, in the various branches of -common school studies, and could have a much larger class were I to -open a night school, but I dare not undertake that, my time is so -fully occupied during the day. - - * * * * * - - -LOUISIANA. - -Revival in Central Church--English Evangelists. - -W. S. ALEXANDER, D. D., NEW ORLEANS. - -In my last letter the hope was expressed that we might have good -tidings to send you. God has graciously and marvelously answered -our prayer. - -The month of November was a blessed month in Central Church. - -The week of prayer in January has in other years been the beginning -of real, earnest revival effort. The revival seasons of blessed -memory have dated from this holy week. But the coming of two -English Evangelists, James Wharton and Richard Irving, during the -last days of October, called for immediate action, and we decided -at once to open revival meetings, and to engage in a united and -earnest effort for the salvation of sinners. - -While these dear brethren were resting from their voyage, the -church came together and re-consecrated themselves to God. There -was a quick and deep apprehension of the necessity of personal -holiness and of self-denying service for Christ. Indeed the entire -month of October had been a month of prayerful preparation for the -movement. Printed notices were widely distributed, and Christians -went from house to house and invited people to come and seek the -salvation of their souls. From the opening night the meetings were -marked by deep seriousness and the evident presence of the Divine -Spirit. The method of the Evangelists was simple and honest. No -artificial means for exciting emotion were used. The Gospel was -preached in its simplicity, its purity, and its power. The sermons -were heart-searching, faithful and tender. The law in its exactions -and the Gospel in its provisions and promises, were presented -night after night. Brother Irving stayed with us ten days, and -Brother Wharton three weeks. After the sermon the Pastor took -charge of the meetings, and called the inquirers to the “mourners’ -seats.” Special appeals and prayers were offered. Inquirers were -directed one by one how to find the Saviour, and to obtain peace -in believing. At some meetings Christians were permitted and -encouraged to speak of the love and preciousness of Jesus; and such -a volume of testimony! We could truly say, “Lord, it is good for -us to be here.” As I recall the sheaves that were gathered in this -glorious harvest I find much to thank God for. In two instances -both the husband and wife--all young people--were converted, and -standing side by side took the vows of the church upon them. Women -who had struggled with manifold temptations, and around whom the -wildest storms of sorrow had gathered, found in Christ a refuge -from the storm and the tempest. Young men with the hopes and -possibilities of Christian manhood before them, humbly, heartily, -and I believe, forever, took their position as the disciples of the -Son of God. When Brother Wharton was compelled to leave us to meet -an engagement in another church, the Pastor continued the meetings -for another week, assisted by Rev. A. N. Wyckoff, of the Canal St. -Presb. Church, Rev. Dr. John Matthews, of the M. E. Church, and two -able colored preachers. The fire burned brightly to the last. - -The first Sabbath in December, thirty-one were received to -the Central Church on profession of their faith in Christ. We -hope forty-eight were converted in this revival. Some joined -other churches and more will yet unite themselves with us. The -meetings were thronged as never before. Crowds of young men -attended constantly. Some of them were won for God--others were -impressed--and with very many, let us hope and pray, the truth they -heard and the scenes they witnessed will prove to be “bread cast -upon the waters,” to be gathered in some future day to the glory of -God. - -I think I see a quickened and deepened consciousness of right as -they read it in the light of His word, upon the part of professing -Christians a painful and unyielding anxiety with those who have not -submitted their hearts to God, and with many, a sincere longing to -come into the fellowship of the Gospel. If this judgment be true, -then how great things has the dear Lord done for us! - -The Church now numbers 210 members. My impartial judgment is -that they represent a good deal of vitality, and are beginning -to realize the infinite willingness of God to bless them, and to -enlarge their borders. - - * * * * * - - -TENNESSEE. - -Methods of Revival Work at Fisk University. - -REV. A. K. SPENCE, NASHVILLE. - -You request me to give an idea of our “methods, success, and -experiences” in revival work in Fisk University. It is with much -hesitation that I attempt to comply with your wish, for it is -difficult, in a brief communication, to convey a correct idea -in such matters, and, also, one shrinks from bringing into the -foreground human agencies in a work which, if genuine, must be -Divine. - -To understand revival work here, one must know the ordinary -religious work done in the University. Varying from time to time, -the following are the means of grace enjoyed by us. We have a -church which is, practically, a part of the school. There are three -services on the Sabbath--a preaching service, a Sunday-school, and -a prayer meeting. During the week there are school devotions in the -morning and family devotions in the evening, and also one meeting -for prayer. Upon all these attendance is required. - -Many other meetings are held voluntarily by the students, conducted -frequently by an instructor. There is a Christian Association of -the young men and one of the young women, meeting once a week, -or oftener. The Society for the Evangelization of Africa holds a -meeting once a month, and every Sunday morning since the departure -of our missionaries to Africa, a meeting has been held to pray for -them and their cause. - -Besides these stated meetings, there is a large amount of personal -religious work done in a private way, to lead the unconverted -to Christ. Opportunities are sought for conversation and prayer -with individuals alone. As employees of the American Missionary -Association, we feel ourselves bound to labor, as we can, for the -salvation of our students. We try to keep it before us continually -that we should aim at nothing less than their conversion. And we -seek to impress it upon all, that the Institution is entirely the -Lord’s, built with His money, kept by His care, and dedicated to -His service. We are sustained by the charities of God’s people, -given for the sake of His cause. We remember the way in which our -wants have been met, in the use of the Jubilee Singers and by other -means. The place whereon we stand is holy ground. - -In “times of refreshing” the ordinary means of grace have been -quickened into greater life, and other means have been used as the -Spirit of God seemed to direct. The morning and evening devotions -have at times been turned into revival meetings, and extra meetings -for prayer and labor with inquirers have been instituted. In a few -cases the work of the school has been suspended and the day given -to religious meetings; but usually the ordinary work has gone on. -Persons under too deep conviction to attend to aught else, have -been allowed and advised to wait upon God, and suitable persons -have been permitted to wait with them. Occasionally scenes have -transpired not to be forgotten nor to be described--the tears, -the sighs, the groans, the bowed or prostrate form--and the after -unspeakable joy! As time has gone on, whether for better or worse, -the emotional has diminished. We have never sought to produce -excitement, nor have we sought rudely to crush it out when it came -spontaneously, but to quiet it off by indirect means, a thing -always soon successful. Doubtless clearer views of truth are doing -away with that frenzy of religious excitement which has so largely -prevailed, unbalancing the reason and prostrating the body. - -We find it necessary to follow a revival with oft-repeated -instructions as to the doctrines and duties of Christianity. The -young converts need much loving and wise watchcare. They are -exposed to many dangers, and have nearly everything to learn, -except that they are the Lord’s and he is theirs. - -Some years in the history of Fisk University have been years -of great barrenness in spiritual things, but none of entire -unfruitfulness. Yet long and sorely have we been made to cry unto -God, and humble ourselves before Him. Other years are precious in -our memories because of God’s peculiar presence there. Three are -especially so, 1870, 1873, and 1876; but space will not permit us -to enter upon them. Books might be written about them, but they are -recorded in God’s book of remembrance; there let them remain. Oh, -for a mighty and continual baptism of the Holy Ghost on all our -schools in the South! - - * * * * * - - -Sanitary Reform--Business--Industrial Instruction--Lecture -Course--Revival. - -PROF. A. J. STEELE, MEMPHIS. - -Great is sanitary reform, at least so say all good Memphians. -The Memphis of last November is not the Memphis of this, except -in muddy and broken streets and shabby street cars drawn by more -shabby mules. For these, “men may come and men may go, but they go -on forever.” - -The business season opened in October, hopefully and more brisk -than ever before, notwithstanding that our population has within -the three years dropped from fifty to thirty-five thousand. - -Merchants are reaping a rich harvest, and all kinds of labor find -employment and fair pay, interrupted somewhat for the past month by -severe cold and continued rains, which have also seriously damaged -the ungathered cotton crop. What would you say to _ninety inches_ -rainfall in _eleven_ months? This is the amount reported by the -signal service observer at Vicksburg for this year up to December 1. - -No one now thinks of Memphis as a failure; what with a unique and -almost perfect system of sewerage nearly completed, and what with -a growing wholesale trade and many permanent improvements, both -public and private, a new Memphis, indeed, must soon replace the -old. - -School opened in October with a full attendance and every promise -of a most successful year. Our rooms for industrial instruction are -now finished and ready for use. The classes in needlework, etc., -are organized, and in January a class or classes in cooking will -receive regular instruction, with practice in the experimental -kitchen. - -Instruction will also be given to a class in the care of the sick. -It is a fact that the great majority of our pupils must continue -in very humble positions and circumstances; our aim must be to fit -them to fill well the lots that must fall to them in life; and -whatever positions they may fill, they must know how to build up, -and even adorn, homes that shall be very different from those their -parents have known. - -The proverb runs, “A man far from home is near to danger.” The most -direct way, certainly, of bringing better things to these people, -and to the South, is through the home. - -Our lecture course for this year is about made up. Dr. Magoun, -while here in attendance upon the conference and to visit his -daughter, our music teacher, gave the first lecture in this year’s -course. Among others to speak are Rev. Dr. Max Samfield, Jewish -Rabbi; Rev. Mr. Mayo, of Boston; Judge Pierce of the Circuit Court, -two physicians and other prominent professional and business men -here. Our idea is to have all the lectures, as far as possible, -deal with practical matters, in some degree according with our -regular industrial work. In the past four weeks we have been -greatly blessed by the Spirit’s presence with us, over thirty -of our pupils having found the “better way,” we trust. With the -exception of one or two sitting-room meetings, we have only held a -half-hour prayer meeting each day directly after school. Some of -the conversions have come with wonderful power and presence of the -Spirit, but all with quietness and assurance. We hope for still -more, and we are glad to have before us so much of the year with -its opportunities for training these “lambs” in the Christian life. -Most of them go with their parents and friends to the old churches, -where, too often, the weekly or occasional emotional outburst or -religious frenzy takes the place of real Christian growth and -experience. A number will join our church, two or three even -breaking away from friends and parents to find a more intelligent, -helpful church connection. - - * * * * * - - - - -THE INDIANS. - - * * * * * - - -LETTERS FROM INDIAN BOYS. - -Miss Eustis sends us the following letters from two of our Indian -boys at Hampton. She says: “Almka came to us a little more than two -years ago in his blanket and long shaggy hair, and knew no word of -English, and Tom Smith was only a little better off:” - - My Dear friend - - I want to speak English.

POND, SAN FRANCISCO. - -_The Marysville Mission_, being viewed as no longer an experiment, -celebrated its first anniversary on Nov. 21st, at the Presbyterian -Church in that city. Its spacious and beautiful auditorium was -crowded, the Methodist congregation uniting in the services. -The exercises were very simple, consisting of recitations of -Scripture, singing, and an address by our helper, Lee Sam. But -the interest rose as the service moved on, till after a specially -excellent recitation of I Cor., 13th chap., and especially after -Lee Sam’s address, it burst forth in applause. At almost all our -anniversaries, held though they are in churches and on Sunday -evenings, this expression of interest takes place, unsought, -unexpected, undesired, but showing in a gratifying way that -whatever hard things men may say of a class of people, as a class, -of a race as a race, in the abstract, yet bring them face to -face with individuals of that class or race, trying to improve -themselves, struggling upwards toward intelligence and freedom and -Christianity, and they cannot refuse them the tribute of their -good will, their cheery God-speed. There were Congressmen in the -olden times who voted for the Fugitive Slave Law, and orators who -defended it before the people, who could not possibly have helped -wishing success to any individual fugitive if they actually saw him -making for liberty with his eye on the north star, and even giving -the poor fellow a sly lift that way if they had an opportunity. A -warm heart is too strong for a wrong head under such circumstances. -And so our anti-Chinese friends at Marysville gave us their -presence at our Anniversary, curious to see what could be done, -and before we were through bade us God-speed and helped us with a -generous contribution. On the day following, a well-officered local -auxiliary, like those at Sacramento, Stockton, Petaluma and Los -Angeles, was organized. The school is now established in permanent -quarters, furnished with all that is indispensable to a comfortable -mission house, and sets forth on its second year with promise of -good work and glad harvests. - -_New Schools._--In this month of December, in which I am writing, -we have thirteen schools in operation, a larger number than ever -before. The Oroville school resumed its sessions December 1st under -the care of Miss Helen Ostrom, whose father, once a missionary at -Amoy, China, has taken pastoral charge of the Congregational Church -in that place. It starts well, and engages the interest not only -of the Chinese, but also of the better element among the Christian -people of that town, to a greater degree, I believe, than ever -before. - -Of the two new schools, one is in Oakland, occupying an apartment -kindly granted for the purpose by the Pacific Theological Seminary, -situated about 1¼ miles from the school already sustained in -rooms supplied by the First Congregational Church. It is near the -Plymouth Avenue Church, and will, we trust, be taken under its -wing. Miss Maria W. Bye is its faithful and devoted teacher. The -other new school is at Point Pedro, the Chinese fishing village -of which some account was given in the December MISSIONARY. On -visiting the place I found it to consist of six or seven distinct -villages situated on the shore of little coves, and separated from -each other by points of greater or less altitude jutting out boldly -into the Bay. The population, estimated at about 600, is thus -divided into little groups of, say, 100 people each; the distance -from the nearest to the most remote being not less than two miles. -It calls for _two_ schools, and affording, as it does, a field for -missionary service among women and children as well as men, it -needs at least one teacher able to give not only evenings, but the -daytime also to the work. We are at present feeling our way under -conditions quite different from those in any of our older schools, -praying that the wisdom from above may save us from the mistakes -into which our own unaided counsel would plunge us certainly; and -that, as we learn how to reach these dark and scattered multitudes, -we may have means adequate to the task. “As thy days so shall thy -strength be.” - -_The Money Question._--Many who count themselves specially prudent -find no room for the exercise of faith in matters of cash. But I -have not so read either the word or the providence of God. We are -walking by faith in laying out our missionary work for this new -year. In place of the $1,610.70 received last year over and above -the regular appropriation from the treasury in New York, we rely -upon raising $5,000 this year. We cannot do the work waiting to be -done, we cannot answer the Master’s call with any less sum than -that. Every cent of it can be used without extravagance. Indeed we -can practice a more effective economy on an income of $10,000 per -annum than on one of $7,600. A certain amount is necessary even -to _start_. There are some heavy expenses from which there is no -escape however we may cut down the work, unless, indeed, we cut its -life out altogether. These would not be materially increased even -though the service rendered were increased three-fold. We look, -therefore, first to the Master himself, and then to his people, -whom he constitutes his almoners, to make up this $5,000. Humbly -trusting to his faithfulness, we expect it to come, and we venture -forward on that expectation. Already, from a helper in the “far -East” comes an unsolicited gift of $100, and a pledge of another -$100 if, thereby, this $5,000 can be secured. Already I seem to -see in the near future full twenty-five or even many more of such -$100 shares taken. Where shall I find the remainder? Are there no -readers of the MISSIONARY who can aid me to answer this question? -“Inasmuch as ye have done it even to one of the least of these my -brethren, ye have done it unto me.” - - * * * * * - - - - -CHILDREN’S PAGE. - - * * * * * - - -BILL AND ANDY’S LARK. - -MRS.

Father won’t -object to my goin’ to hear Sam, and of course we won’t stay out -very late.” - -Bill and Andy were boy chums, who at the present speaking were -roosting on a picket fence, in that seemingly comfortable manner -in which bipeds of their species seem perfectly capable of doing. -They were good-hearted, industrious boys, but rather thoughtless at -times, and the parents of both often felt troubled that they seemed -to care so little for “book learning.” - -Sure enough, when the Town Hall was filling with a half interested, -half curious audience to hear Sam Andrew’s story, among the rest, -on the back seats, sat Bill and Andy. - -Pretty soon Sam began; he told how, through struggles and -hardships, want and poverty, he had persisted in gaining an -entrance into the seminary. - -All at once, Bill swallowed hard, then whispered to his companion, - -“I say, Andy, let’s give Sam twenty cents instead of ten!” - -“Yes, let’s,” readily agreed Andy. - -Sam went on; he told how fever broke out among some of the seminary -boys, and he and a few others spent the last cent they could raise -in getting medicines, and alas! a coffin in more than one case. - -This time Bill gulped down a great sob, and whispered brokenly, - -“Andy, old boy, let’s make it thirty cents; a heart of stone -couldn’t stan’ that!” - -“Yes, so we will,” gasped Andy, with shining eyes. - -Sam continued: he told of selling the coat off his back, sooner -than give up his precious opportunities for studying and improving -his mind. - -Here Bill gave Andy a nudge, and whispered desperately, - -“I’m goin’ the whole forty, Andy; what’s a selfish old lark of nuts -and candy, I’d like to know, for a well fed cove like me? I’ll help -Sam the whole figger,--cookies if I won’t!” - -“Feel as if I’d been a pig all my life,” whimpered Andy, as Sam -went on with his piteous story of painful perseverance and hard -endurance. All at once Bill began edging off the settee, but he -stopped to whisper again, - -“Say, Andy, I’m going home as tight as ever I can leg it after that -other ten cents; be back in a minute;” and before Andy could reply -he was off: in a few moments he was back again, but where was Andy? - -A moment later Andy entered softly, and taking his seat by Bill, -opened his hand, in which was _his_ last ten cent piece. - -But it might have done one real good to have seen the peculiar -shine in the eyes of the generous boys, as their willing offerings -rattled down into the well-filled box which was passed around for -the collection at the close of the meeting. - -And after all, that was not the best of it, for on the way home, -instead of the “selfish lark” so cheerfully given up, the boys had -a good sensible talk, in which they agreed that it was shameful, -the way in which they had neglected their studies, and here was a -poor colored boy, who had suffered “all a feller _could_ suffer and -pull through,”--as Andy remarked with boy-like earnestness,--for -the knowledge they, in their favored freedom from care and -privation, had hardly thought worth possessing, much less toiling -for. - -Bill and Andy’s parents silently wondered what had come over their -boys, that all at once they grew so thoughtful and studious; but -the boys knew what had come over them, and they also knew why it -was that whenever they earned any money, a part was saved out from -the rest for charitable purposes. - -“Makes a feller feel quite like a man to help some one else along a -little besides himself, doesn’t it Bill, old boy?” Andy asked one -day. - -And Bill replied, - -“Guess it does! We can’t do much, but even our little is worth -givin’, ’specially when a cove saves it himself: guess our -Sunday-school teacher was right; let’s see, what was that verse -she said?--‘It is more blesseder to--to give away a part, than to -receive all inter yourself,’--I believe that was about it, and _so_ -much better than wastin’ it on a senseless lark!” - - * * * * * - - - - -RECEIPTS - -FOR DECEMBER, 1880. - - * * * * * - - - MAINE, $253.87. - - Bangor.

This Society shall be called “THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY -ASSOCIATION.” - -ART. II.

III. Any person of evangelical sentiments,[A] who professes -faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, who is not a slaveholder, or in the -practice of other immoralities, and who contributes to the funds, -may become a member of the Society; and by the payment of thirty -dollars, a life member; provided that children and others who have -not professed their faith may be constituted life members without -the privilege of voting. - -ART. IV. This Society shall meet annually, in the month of -September, October or November, for the election of officers and -the transaction of other business, at such time and place as shall -be designated by the Executive Committee. - -ART. V. The annual meeting shall be constituted of the regular -officers and members of the Society at the time of such meeting, -and of delegates from churches, local missionary societies, -and other co-operating bodies, each body being entitled to one -representative. - -ART. VI. The officers of the Society shall be a President, -Vice-Presidents, a Recording Secretary, Corresponding Secretaries, -Treasurer, two Auditors, and an Executive Committee of not less -than twelve, of which the Corresponding Secretaries shall be -advisory, and the Treasurer ex-officio, members. - -ART. VII. To the Executive Committee shall belong the collecting -and disbursing of funds; the appointing, counselling, sustaining -and dismissing (for just and sufficient reasons) missionaries and -agents; the selection of missionary fields; and, in general, the -transaction of all such business as usually appertains to the -executive committees of missionary and other benevolent societies; -the Committee to exercise no ecclesiastical jurisdiction over the -missionaries; and its doings to be subject always to the revision -of the annual meeting, which shall, by a reference mutually -chosen, always entertain the complaints of any aggrieved agent or -missionary; and the decision of such reference shall be final. - -The Executive Committee shall have authority to fill all vacancies -occurring among the officers between the regular annual meetings; -to apply, if they see fit, to any State Legislature for acts of -incorporation; to fix the compensation, where any is given, of all -officers, agents, missionaries, or others in the employment of the -Society; to make provision, if any, for disabled missionaries, and -for the widows and children of such as are deceased; and to call, -in all parts of the country, at their discretion, special and -general conventions of the friends of missions, with a view to the -diffusion of the missionary spirit, and the general and vigorous -promotion of the missionary work. - -Five members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum for -transacting business. - -ART. VIII. This society, in collecting funds, in appointing -officers, agents and missionaries, and in selecting fields -of labor, and conducting the missionary work, will endeavor -particularly to discountenance slavery, by refusing to receive the -known fruits of unrequited labor, or to welcome to its employment -those who hold their fellow-beings as slaves. - -ART. IX. Missionary bodies, churches or individuals agreeing to -the principles of this Society, and wishing to appoint and sustain -missionaries of their own, shall be entitled to do so through the -agency of the Executive Committee, on terms mutually agreed upon. - -ART. X. No amendment shall be made to this Constitution without -the concurrence of two-thirds of the members present at a regular -annual meeting; nor unless the proposed amendment has been -submitted to a previous meeting, or to the Executive Committee in -season to be published by them (as it shall be their duty to do, if -so submitted) in the regular official notifications of the meeting. - -FOOTNOTE: - -[A] By evangelical sentiments, we understand, among others, a -belief in the guilty and lost condition of all men without a -Saviour; the Supreme Deity, Incarnation and Atoning Sacrifice -of Jesus Christ, the only Saviour of the world; the necessity -of regeneration by the Holy Spirit, repentance, faith and holy -obedience in order to salvation; the immortality of the soul; and -the retributions of the judgment in the eternal punishment of the -wicked, and salvation of the righteous. - - - - -The American Missionary Association. - - * * * * * - - -AIM AND WORK. - -To preach the Gospel to the poor. It originated in a sympathy with -the almost friendless slaves. Since Emancipation it has devoted its -main efforts to preparing the FREEDMEN for their duties as citizens -and Christians in America and as missionaries in Africa. As closely -related to this, it seeks to benefit the caste-persecuted CHINESE -in America, and to co-operate with the Government in its humane -and Christian policy towards the INDIANS. It has also a mission in -AFRICA. - - -STATISTICS. - -CHURCHES: _In the South_--In Va., 1; N. C., 6; S.

We -shall be happy to forward it to any of our friends who will send us -their name and address, signifying their desire to have it.</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>This number of the <span class="smcap">American Missionary</span> contains a complete -list of the names of the persons appointed for the current year to -the different fields where this Association carries on its work at -home and abroad. We commend the work and the workers to the great -Lord of the harvest, and to all those who utter the prayer He has -taught us to offer, “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, in earth, -as it is in heaven.”</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>It is the belief of this Association that conversion is the proper -door into the kingdom of science, as well as to the kingdom of -Heaven. Our teachers and pastors, therefore, seek to bring those -who come under their instruction to a knowledge of the truth as it -is in Jesus, in order that they may be qualified to know aright -and properly appropriate all knowledge. We are glad, therefore, to -be able to refer our readers to letters from the field, in this -number, as evidence that revival work is going on at different -points throughout the South.</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>Letters from our various stations at the South remind us, as we -would remind our friends, that this winter is a hard one for the -colored people, and that our missionaries really need more money -and more clothing to distribute than in ordinary winters. We quote -from one letter, which must serve for all: “As I write, the ground -is covered with snow to the depth of about six inches, the first -we have seen since 1876. By reason of the unprepared condition of -the poor people here, living in open shanties and scantily supplied -with clothing and food, this season of excessive cold is especially -hard to endure.” Contributions of money and clothing to relieve -this pressing and immediate want may be sent to the care of H. W. -Hubbard, Treasurer, 56 Reade street, New York City.</p> - -<p><a class="pagenum" name="Page_34" id="Page_34">[34]</a></p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>We are glad to know that the Rev. A. D. Mayo, one of the editors -of the <cite>Journal of Education</cite>, is making an extended tour of the -South, and will hold Teachers’ Institutes and deliver courses of -lectures in its chief educational centres. We shall await with -great interest the report of what he sees and learns during his -visit, and expect valuable suggestions from one who, to his wide -experience as an educator shall add an accurate knowledge of the -present condition of that part of the country.</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>At the Annual Meeting in Norwich, the Committee on foreign work -recommended that a superintendent of African missions be secured -at once. The Executive Committee, after careful inquiry, made -selection of Rev. H. M. Ladd, a much beloved pastor of Walton, N. -Y., who has written:</p> - -<p>“I hereby accept the position, praying the Great Head of the church -for His blessing upon the arduous work undertaken in His name, -looking for His help, without which we can do nothing, but with -which we can do all things. I shall endeavor to enter upon the work -of the Association on the 1st of February.”</p> - -<p>We sympathize with his people in their great loss and congratulate -them on the valuable gift they make to the cause of the Master.</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p><cite>The Southern Workman</cite>, published at Hampton, Va., is, -mechanically, a fair and most creditable specimen of the work done -in the industrial department of the Hampton school; its editorial -management proves that men good for something else are devoting -their talents to negro education, while its columns show that -intelligent minds giving promise of future usefulness are being -trained in the school, and the paper, as a whole, gives an adequate -idea of the work being done and yet to be done in such schools. Our -friends who would at once have a very readable paper, keep informed -on all phases of the Hampton work, and contribute something to -support a most worthy enterprise, can do all this by sending to -Gen. Armstrong the price of the <cite>Southern Workman</cite>.</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>“An Old Friend,” of Sag Harbor, New York, sends $30 for a Christmas -certificate of Life Membership for one of his friends, the -twenty-sixth Life Member of this Association which he has made. He -has earned the right to say: “Urge others to make their friends -Life Members, and thus add to the friends of the Society, and -increase the number of those who will take an interest in the good -work.”</p> - -<p>Another “Old Friend” who has celebrated his eighty-fifth -Thanksgiving, sends $30 as a very suitable wedding present of -a Life Membership to his son’s wife, having made all <em>his</em> own -children members.</p> - -<p>These are happy suggestions for happy occasions.</p> -<hr class="chap" /> -</div> -<div class="article"> - -<h3>VALUE OF DR. TANNER’S EXPERIMENT.</h3> - -<p>This is not to be found in the fact that after all a man must eat -or die; this we more than suspected before the Doctor’s experiment; -neither has he settled how long a man may do without food; but he -has shown conclusively that starvation, as a mode of living, is not -economical, and that a life thus sustained is not worth anything. -It cost a great deal to keep him alive, and the utmost he could do -was to be driven out for a daily airing.</p> - -<p><a class="pagenum" name="Page_35" id="Page_35">[35]</a></p> - -<p>This lesson constitutes the sole value of his elaborate and painful -experiment: A man who is to do anything must be properly nourished; -plenty of good, wholesome food is cheaper than a diet of ice-water.</p> - -<p>Good friends, we need not repeat the Doctor’s experiment to prove -that the policy of starvation is a mistaken policy, and is every -way expensive and hurtful. The question is not how long can a life -be sustained at the point of starvation, which is also the point of -utter worthlessness, but how much can a life properly nourished be -made to accomplish?</p> - -<p>Our parable needs no explanation. Three hundred and fifty thousand -dollars is the least sum that should be named as at all adequate to -the highest efficiency of our school and church work. We can <em>live</em> -on less, but by so much as we fall short of this by so much are we -hampered and crippled.</p> - -<p>The work we have to do is a work that must be done, and we, the -churches of the country, have it to do. It becomes, of course, a -question of wise economy in the expenditure of means. We point -again to the lesson taught us and reiterate it: Starvation is not -economy! The condition of greatest efficiency is that of abundant -life blood; and for the work of the A. M. A. for 1881, this means -at least three hundred and fifty thousand dollars.</p> - -<hr class="chap" /> -</div> -<div class="article"> - - -<h3>FREEMASONRY.</h3> - -<p>In the <span class="smcap">Missionary</span> for October, 1880, an item appeared, -copied mainly from an Atlanta paper, giving some statistics in -regard to the colored people of that city. It named the amount of -their taxable property, their industrial pursuits, and benevolent -and charitable institutions—the Odd Fellows and Masonic lodges -being mentioned among the number. Of all these institutions the -article quoted said that they have encouraged the people “to form -habits of sobriety and economy, and imbued them with feelings of -charity and benevolence.”</p> - -<p>It has been thought by some of our friends that quoting this -remark was an endorsement by us of Masonry and Odd Fellowship. We -wish explicitly to deny the correctness of such an inference. The -executive officers of this Association have no sympathy with secret -oath-bound Societies, and the <span class="smcap">Missionary</span>, on fitting -occasions, has spoken plainly on the subject. Thus in 1873, the -present Secretary of the Association wrote, and, with the hearty -concurrence of his fellow-officers, published, in the August number -of that year, the following article:</p> - -<p>“Attention has been called anew to this subject, by the refusal of -an ecclesiastical council at the West to ordain a young man to the -ministry, for what was regarded as a too tenacious adhesion to the -Lodge. Of the merits of that case we are not well enough informed -to pronounce a judgment, but it is clear to us that the growth -and power of Masonry is no light matter. The principle of secret -organization is unsuitable to a Republican government, and contrary -to the open spirit of Christianity. Among the colored people the -prevalence of Masonry would be a great evil—involving a waste of -time and an expenditure of money they are little able to bear, as -well as exposing them to undue political influences, and diverting -their attention from an intelligent and pure Christianity—their -only hope. Our teachers and ministers at the South already see -these effects beginning to appear, and deprecate them.”</p> - -<p>Nothing has occurred since that time to modify, except to -intensify, these convictions, and the attitude and influence of our -schools and churches in the South have been wholly and decidedly -opposed to these secret societies, as many facts, if necessary, -would testify.</p> - -<p><a class="pagenum" name="Page_36" id="Page_36">[36]</a></p> - -<hr class="chap" /> -</div> -<div class="article"> - - -<h3>NATIONAL EDUCATION—PREPARATION FOR IT.</h3> - -<p>In connection with the educational bill, which passed the Senate -last week, a word concerning the American Missionary Association. -Are we to have a national uprising of popular sentiment and -legislative action with reference to the education of all peoples -within our borders, but especially in the South? How signally, in -the providence of God, did this Association forecast the need, and -how wonderfully has it, these years past, been preparing the way. -If it had done no more, it has proved to all the world, past all -cavil, this—the cultivability of the negro, the practicability of -education for the poor blacks and also for the “poor whites” of the -South. Its Christian schools of all grades, planted here and there -in all the States, have led the way and established beginnings -of the utmost importance. These schools, by the sheer force of -their own excellence, and results so signal as to arrest universal -attention, have lived down the most desperate prejudices, and -commanded the most emphatic testimonials from all classes and from -those highest in authority. Never has a grand Christian enterprise -shown itself more certain of good results; never did a benevolent -undertaking more remarkably manifest its self-perpetuating, -self-propagating force. It has given a new complexion to the entire -“negro problem” in this country. It has successfully asserted the -right of the lowliest of all citizens to share in the benefits -and advantages of education. The Association, by the largeness of -its plans, the boldness of its project, the manifestation on the -spot of its work, by its public advocacy throughout the North, has -served to press constantly upon the public attention the exact -nature of the great emergency in the field of popular education. -When were ever before the wisdom of a measureless benevolence and -the audacity of a glorious faith more manifestly justified in their -results?</p> - -<p>But will not the new Congressional scheme for promoting popular -education in the States of the South, render somewhat less urgent -the work and the claim of the American Missionary Association? By -no means! Just the reverse is true. Money alone will not educate -anybody. If the first need be that of more money, at least the -second necessity will be that of <em>suitable teachers</em>. Precisely -here, to meet this necessity, is seen the almost prophetic, -certainly the providential, anticipatory work of the Association, -getting things ready for the great stroke of truly national -statesmanship now proposed.</p> - -<p>To say that the American Missionary Association <em>should</em> have, at -once, placed at its disposal five times its present resources to -meet the new exigency, would be to make a statement altogether -temperate, considerate and reasonable. The opportunity is one that -is transcendently inviting.—<cite>Rev. S.

Markham, and we are glad to announce that, -despite the cold weather, it is nearly ready for occupancy.</p> - -<p>This is to be the home of our night school for adults under charge -of Mr. and Mrs. White, of Oberlin. The pupils of this school -are excluded from the public schools because of their age, and -because they are necessarily occupied through the day. In it also -will be sheltered the vigorous mission Sunday-school which Pastor -Blakesley’s church has sustained, and which will be under charge -of Mr. A. J. De Hart, a young colored man from Washburn College, -recently ordained by a council at Cleveland, Ohio.</p> - -<p>We have also located one of our Southern colored preachers—a young -man—in the Second Congregational Church of Lawrence, where there -is also a large colored population. Other points on this frontier -of colored population will be kept in view.</p> - -<p>Of the $2,500 which this work will cost for the year the citizens -of Topeka have raised $700, and we have on hand a Kansas fund of -$450. This leaves still $1,350 to be raised as a special sum, as -this work is not provided for in the regular appropriations for the -year.</p> - -<p>The Executive Committee, urged as it has been, both by our friends -and by the pressing need of this much abused and suffering people, -has ventured on this expenditure, confident that it is a duty which -must not be neglected, also that our friends will meet the exigency -by sending in promptly the amount needed.</p> - -<p>“These children of the dispersion,” peeled and torn, stretch -out their hands to us again! Shall we not hear in their cry the -pleadings of the Saviour for these, the weakest of his suffering -children, and account this extra gift as but a small portion of the -double recompense due them for their redoubled wrongs?</p> - -<hr class="chap" /> -</div> -<div class="article"> - - -<h3>NOVEMBER REPORT TO THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.</h3> - -<p class="secauth">REV. J. E. ROY, D. D.</p> - -<p>On the day after the election, I left my home at Atlanta to attend -in Memphis the Central South Conference and the Council for the -installation of a pastor, Mr. B. A. Imes, of Oberlin Seminary. -In the Conference I drew up the memorial which was presented to -the National Council in behalf of a re-statement of our Creed and -Catechism, urging the peculiar need of our Southern work, and -preached on the Lord’s day, once in our Second church and once in -the Second Presbyterian, lately that of Dr. Boggs. As moderator -of the installing council, I led in the examination and delivered -the charge to the people. Both bodies I reported daily in the -<cite>Memphis Appeal</cite>; wrote them up in a “Pilgrim” letter to the -<cite>Congregationalist</cite>, and gave their items to the <cite>Advance</cite> and -<cite>Christian Union</cite>.</p> - -<p>As a delegate from Georgia in the National Council at St. Louis, -your field superintendent nominated as assistant moderator Rev. -J. D. Smith (colored), of Alabama, who was elected on the first -ballot, and secured the appointment of Rev. Drs. Sturtevant and -Goodell to offer fellowship to the Presbyterian General Assembly -South, hoping for some incidental benefit to our work.</p> - -<p><a class="pagenum" name="Page_38" id="Page_38">[38]</a></p> - -<p>At Dr. Strieby’s request I went on with him to Kansas for the -purpose of initiating our Refugee mission, for which a lot was -bought and a house contracted for at Topeka.</p> - -<p>Thence I went down to Paris, in Texas, to assist in the ordination -of two of our Talladega men, J. W. Roberts as pastor in that city, -and J. W. Strong to take the pastorate in Corpus Christi. Spending -five days there, I preached for our church in Paris, also for -the white Congregational church which I had organized six years -ago, planned for a new church site and building, and visited and -preached for our country church at Pattonville, twelve miles out, -arranging for the supply of this and two other little churches by -local preachers.</p> - -<p>At Little Rock, Ark., I explored and found the fit material for a -Congregational church to be organized as soon as we can have the -money. In time we must have for Arkansas one of our first-class -institutions at this beautiful capital, which has seven or eight -thousand colored people, and which is the centre of a large -population of Freedmen.</p> - -<p>In three days, at Tougaloo, I inspected the Institution; counselled -with the managers as to building schemes; lectured on “How to make -money,—by labor, economy, education, investment;” and delivered -a missionary address and a sermon, being permitted to rejoice -that day with the teacher in the conversion of one of their most -interesting young men.</p> - -<p>The tour, which was one of 2,804 miles, occupied a month. The cost -of travel was $88.15, unusually large, even for so long a trip, as -I had to use the two great roads leading to Texas, which decline -the usual ministerial courtesies. With five nights of riding, and -only two of those in sleeping cars, with a steady push in travel -and in work, it was a wearying tour. The postage of the month, -$4.55, shows the amount of correspondence kept up along the way -with the “field.”</p> - -<p>In contrast with the two railroads referred to, I wish to -report that I have in hand the annual <em>half-fare</em> permits of -<em>twenty-eight</em> railroad companies in the South, nearly all that -I have occasion to use, besides an <em>annual free pass</em>, held now -for two years, on Senator Joseph E. Brown’s road from Atlanta to -Chattanooga, which I use a great deal. Having received marked and -unvarying courtesy from the officials of all of these companies -(and, indeed, from everybody South as yet, without exception), I -count it a testimony to the recognized position of the American -Missionary Association in the South that these favors have been -granted so generally and so cheerfully.</p> - -<hr class="chap" /> -</div> -<div class="article"> - - -<h3>GENERAL NOTES.</h3> - - -<h4>Africa.</h4> - -<p>—In South Africa, where Dr. Moffat waited years for a conversion, -there are 50,000 Christians.</p> - -<p>—In almost every leading town in Egypt, from Alexandria to Assouan -on the First Cataract, mission stations have been founded by the -United Presbyterians.</p> - -<p>—Four persons have offered to take up the mission work in the -field left vacant by the death of the Rev.

Mrs. Laws has received a sewing-machine -from Glasgow, and has taught two native girls to work it. Money has -been introduced to the country, as have also the rites of Christian -marriage.</p> - -<p>—On August 22d, Archdeacon D. C. Crowther baptized 27 converts at -Bonny, in the presence of a congregation numbering no less than 842 -persons. One of the candidates was Orumbi, the rich woman who has -been holding daily family worship for all her dependents.</p> - -<p>—Bishop Crowther was recently visited by a wealthy chief from -Okrika, a town of 10,000 people, 40 miles from Bonny, who informed -him that his people had built a church for Christian worship, to -hold 500, which was filled every Sabbath to listen to the reading -of the service by a school boy from the Brass Mission.</p> - -<p>—Mr. Felkin has fulfilled his commission in seeing the Waganda -envoys safe to Zanzibar, and in paying a visit to Frere Town. At -the latter place, the missionaries have been instructed with regard -to runaway slaves, and the disturbances threatened recently are -likely to be avoided.</p> - -<p>—There is said to be a marked difference between the tribes on -the eastern and those on the western shore of the Tanganyika Lake. -The former have neither images nor idols, while the latter have -both, in great numbers. An image is found at the entrance of every -village, and of nearly every hut. These are carved in the shape of -human figures.

An Apache boy, captured by the 4th Cavalry in Arizona, -six years ago, has also been admitted to the school, thus making -the total number 212.</p> - -<p>—Recently, at the Cheyenne Agency, Walter Matches, one of the -Florida boys, was married to Emma, formerly a scholar at the -boarding-school. The teachers of the school, where the wedding took -place, prepared an entertainment to which all the Florida boys -were invited, and the occasion is described as having been a very -pleasant one. The newly married couple are to live at the school, -where they are both employed, and we wish for them a life of great -happiness to themselves and usefulness to their people.</p> - -<p>—On the 6th day of October, the Carlisle Indian Training School -completed the first year of its history. At a little impromptu -gathering of the school and its teachers and helpers, on the -evening of that day, the children were asked to vote for, or -against, continuing the school work. Every hand went up in favor -of continuing it, and some of the boys even stood up and held up -both hands. Speeches were in order. Everybody was happy and many -reminiscences were brought out with much incentive to continued -effort.</p> - -<p>—That a great wrong has been done the Poncas, all parties agree. -Who is responsible for this wrong is not at present so important -as the question whether as Bright Eyes asserts, and the Boston -Committee believe, a still greater wrong is attempted in the effort -now making to have them relinquish their title to their own homes -in Dakota on the false pretence that it is their own desire to -do so. That the Hon. Carl Schurz, so far from being a friend of -the Indian, is the most unscrupulous enemy he has ever had, we -shall believe only when the proof is overwhelming. The delegation -which has gone out to investigate, goes with some very decided -convictions on this subject, but its report, whether favorable or -adverse, will doubtless be accepted as just to all concerned.</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - - -<h4>The Chinese.</h4> - -<p>—Our Chinese brethren on the Pacific coast have organized a -society called the “Congregational Association of Christian -Chinese.” They have a General Association and several branch -Societies.

C.</span>—The Lincoln Mission of this city has -blossomed into the Lincoln Memorial Church, which was organized -by council on the 10th of January with Rev. S. P.

Mr. Grimke, of the Colored -Presbyterian Church, Rev. T. J. Holmes, of Baltimore, and Prof. -Fairfield. Music by the organist of Dr. Rankin’s church and his -superb choir.</p> - -<p>Mrs. Babcock, of Newburyport, Mass., has commenced missionary labor -with this church with every prospect of wide usefulness. She is -supported by the W. H. M. A., of Boston, under commission of the -A. M. A. This mission, in its Sunday-school work, runs back to the -day of the Nation’s martyr, whose name it bears. It has done a vast -deal of good, which has been garnered up in other churches round -about, and now it turns to care for its own. It has been sustained, -as it is now, mainly by Dr. Rankin’s people. The colored population -of the district is 60,000, with only 3,000 outside of the city. The -National Capital carries its share of the “wards.”</p> - -<p><span class="smcap">Augusta, Ga.</span>—Some of the colored people drew off from -one of the large churches to form a new one, and have been taking -monthly collections to build a church edifice. A little girl -six years old said she must have a nickel, for next Sunday was -“throwing in” Sunday, and she wanted to see that church built. Her -mother said she shouldn’t give her one, for she spent the last -for candy and she ought to have saved that. So she went off with -a basket on her arm, picked up bones and sold them for the five -cents. Then a friend gave her another and she remarked: “I believe -I’ll put this in, too, for <em>that church must be built</em>.”</p> - -<p><span class="smcap">Macon, Ga.</span>—There seems to be a growing spirit of harmony -among the members. The Sunday-school has had an average attendance -of 116, and is in a<a class="pagenum" name="Page_42" id="Page_42">[42]</a> good state of efficiency and progress. It -had a very successful Christmas concert and “fruit tree,” and its -other occasional concerts have been interesting. Mr. and Mrs. -Lathrop have done as much missionary work as they could, and have -distributed quantities of clothing, etc., to the poor, among whom -there has been much real suffering from the severe weather.</p> - -<p><span class="smcap">Atlanta, Ga.</span>—It is refreshing to one’s soul to get into -a live prayer-meeting like ours last night. One good brother said, -“This thing what you call Christianity is no small thing. It starts -small, but it grows and grows and grows till it reaches out of -this world into the land we call Heaven.” Another faithful brother -always prays much, and especially for our school, and in his -remarks last evening gave as his opinion—“If ’twan’t for what’s -ben done on this yere block this city would be ten times worser’n -it is in ignorance ’n superstition. I hain’t no chillun o’ my own -and I dunno much about dealin’s with chillun, but I know dealin’s -with chillun ain’t no funny thing.” This evidently showed his -appreciation of our labor, and our hearts echoed his sentiments, -while we smiled at his quaintness and originality.</p> - -<p><span class="smcap">Selma, Ala.</span>—The school is larger at this time than it has -ever been during the same months since my connection with it. The -enrolment for the present month is 339. We have this year quite -a number of young men in attendance, from our own and adjoining -counties. A course of lectures, intended mainly for the parents -of the scholars, has been determined upon, and two lectures have -been delivered by the pastors of the Methodist and Baptist churches -respectively. Others are purposed for each month of the school year.</p> - -<p>On Friday evening, 31st inst., there was a re-union of the Church. -The first hour was spent in preparatory exercises, for the coming -Communion service, after which greetings by letter were read by -the pastor and others, from those who had been connected with the -church as pastors, and absent sisters and brothers, all showing -a deep interest in the welfare and growth of the church. Then -followed remarks from those present, who had come from other States -and from Talladega College, giving us a description of their work -in the day and Sunday-schools, showing how much they appreciate the -advantages they have received and enjoyed, and are anxious to help -raise others to the same standard in spiritual and intellectual -advancement.</p> - -<p><span class="smcap">Montgomery, Ala.</span>—This is a week of prayer and we are -observing it. While the weather has thus far been very unfavorable, -afternoon meetings have been excellent; though not large as to -number, the spirit of them has been very encouraging. We are -laboring and praying for a “quickening.” I think quite a number are -seriously thoughtful. We expected to receive two last Sabbath on -profession, but the terrible cold and snows of the week prevented -us from having our church preparatory service on Wednesday evening. -There has been a very decided advance in intelligent appreciation -of the Gospel and in spirituality, within the past year, although -no real increase in numbers.</p> - -<p><span class="smcap">Memphis, Tenn.</span>—The religious interest in the school has -brought great blessing and refreshing. On Thursday and Friday ten -students were led to give clear, whole-hearted testimony to an -entire change of heart and life. The school is moved through and -through. Scarcely a pupil of any age but is anxiously inquiring, -as are many of their friends outside. Some wonderful scenes and -experiences are given us and the entire work goes on most quietly, -and, we trust, thoroughly.

We repudiate the idea—we are fully wide -awake, although our work has not been represented recently in the -<span class="smcap">Missionary</span>.</p> - -<p>The weather and sickness prospectus at the beginning of the year -promised to be very disastrous to our missionary labors here.

In my department 70 boys and girls meet daily for secular -and religious instruction. Several of these children live at a -distance of from three to six miles, remaining without luncheon, -perhaps after an indifferent breakfast, the entire session. Every -day I see new proofs of appreciation in the parents and children: -they are beginning to realize the strenuous efforts of missionary -labor for their future prosperity and eternal salvation. What -more encouragement can we desire—looking into their eager faces -all aglow, and seeing the quiet submission at the lack of even -the necessary daily comforts that they may feed this great hungry -desire for knowledge?</p> - -<p>We have a weekly Bible meeting held every Monday afternoon -immediately after school, in the Principal’s room, conducted by -Miss Douglass.

S. ALEXANDER, D. D., NEW ORLEANS.</p> - -<p>In my last letter the hope was expressed that we might have good -tidings to send you. God has graciously and marvelously answered -our prayer.</p> - -<p>The month of November was a blessed month in Central Church.</p> - -<p>The week of prayer in January has in other years been the beginning -of real, earnest revival effort. The revival seasons of blessed -memory have dated from this holy week. But the coming of two -English Evangelists, James Wharton and Richard Irving, during the -last days of October, called for immediate action, and we decided -at once to open revival meetings, and to engage in a united and -earnest effort for the salvation of sinners.</p> - -<p>While these dear brethren were resting from their voyage, the -church came together and re-consecrated themselves to God. There -was a quick and deep apprehension of the necessity of personal -holiness and of self-denying service for Christ. Indeed the entire -month of October had been a month of prayerful preparation for the -movement. Printed notices were widely distributed, and Christians -went from house to house and invited people to come and seek the -salvation of their souls. From the opening night the meetings were -marked by deep seriousness and the evident presence of the Divine -Spirit. The method of the Evangelists was simple and honest. No -artificial means for exciting emotion were used. The Gospel was -preached in its simplicity, its purity, and its power. The sermons -were heart-searching, faithful and tender. The law in its exactions -and the Gospel in its provisions and promises, were presented -night after night. Brother Irving stayed with us ten days, and -Brother Wharton three weeks. After the sermon the Pastor took -charge of the meetings, and called the inquirers to the “mourners’ -seats.” Special appeals and prayers were offered. Inquirers were -directed one by one how to find the Saviour, and to obtain peace -in believing. At some meetings Christians were permitted and -encouraged to speak of the love and preciousness of Jesus; and such -a volume of testimony! We could truly say, “Lord, it is good for -us to be here.” As I recall the sheaves that were gathered in this -glorious harvest I find much to thank God for. In two instances -both the husband and wife—all young people—were converted, and -standing side by side took the vows of the church upon them. Women -who had struggled with manifold temptations, and around whom the -wildest storms of sorrow had gathered, found in Christ a refuge -from the storm and the tempest. Young men with the hopes and -possibilities of Christian manhood before them, humbly, heartily, -and I believe, forever, took their position as the disciples of the -Son of God. When Brother Wharton was compelled to leave us to meet -an engagement in another church, the Pastor continued the meetings -for another week, assisted by Rev. A. N. Wyckoff, of the Canal St. -Presb. Church, Rev. Dr. John Matthews, of the M. E. Church, and two -able colored preachers. The fire burned brightly to the last.</p> - -<p>The first Sabbath in December, thirty-one were received to -the Central Church on profession of their faith in Christ. We -hope forty-eight were converted in this revival. Some joined -other churches and more will yet unite themselves with us. The -meetings were thronged as never before. Crowds of<a class="pagenum" name="Page_51" id="Page_51">[51]</a> young men -attended constantly. Some of them were won for God—others were -impressed—and with very many, let us hope and pray, the truth they -heard and the scenes they witnessed will prove to be “bread cast -upon the waters,” to be gathered in some future day to the glory of -God.</p> - -<p>I think I see a quickened and deepened consciousness of right as -they read it in the light of His word, upon the part of professing -Christians a painful and unyielding anxiety with those who have not -submitted their hearts to God, and with many, a sincere longing to -come into the fellowship of the Gospel. If this judgment be true, -then how great things has the dear Lord done for us!</p> - -<p>The Church now numbers 210 members. My impartial judgment is -that they represent a good deal of vitality, and are beginning -to realize the infinite willingness of God to bless them, and to -enlarge their borders.</p> - -<hr class="chap" /> -</div> -<div class="article"> - - -<h3>TENNESSEE.</h3> - -<h4>Methods of Revival Work at Fisk University.</h4> - -<p class="secauth">REV. A. K. SPENCE, NASHVILLE.</p> - -<p>You request me to give an idea of our “methods, success, and -experiences” in revival work in Fisk University. It is with much -hesitation that I attempt to comply with your wish, for it is -difficult, in a brief communication, to convey a correct idea -in such matters, and, also, one shrinks from bringing into the -foreground human agencies in a work which, if genuine, must be -Divine.</p> - -<p>To understand revival work here, one must know the ordinary -religious work done in the University. Varying from time to time, -the following are the means of grace enjoyed by us. We have a -church which is, practically, a part of the school. There are three -services on the Sabbath—a preaching service, a Sunday-school, and -a prayer meeting. During the week there are school devotions in the -morning and family devotions in the evening, and also one meeting -for prayer. Upon all these attendance is required.</p> - -<p>Many other meetings are held voluntarily by the students, conducted -frequently by an instructor. There is a Christian Association of -the young men and one of the young women, meeting once a week, -or oftener. The Society for the Evangelization of Africa holds a -meeting once a month, and every Sunday morning since the departure -of our missionaries to Africa, a meeting has been held to pray for -them and their cause.</p> - -<p>Besides these stated meetings, there is a large amount of personal -religious work done in a private way, to lead the unconverted -to Christ. Opportunities are sought for conversation and prayer -with individuals alone. As employees of the American Missionary -Association, we feel ourselves bound to labor, as we can, for the -salvation of our students. We try to keep it before us continually -that we should aim at nothing less than their conversion. And we -seek to impress it upon all, that the Institution is entirely the -Lord’s, built with His money, kept by His care, and dedicated to -His service. We are sustained by the charities of God’s people, -given for the sake of His cause. We remember the way in which our -wants have been met, in the use of the Jubilee Singers and by other -means. The place whereon we stand is holy ground.</p> - -<p>In “times of refreshing” the ordinary means of grace have been -quickened into greater life, and other means have been used as the -Spirit of God seemed to direct. The morning and evening devotions -have at times been turned into revival meetings, and extra meetings -for prayer and labor with inquirers have been instituted. In a few -cases the work of the school has been suspended and the day given -to religious meetings; but usually the ordinary work has gone on. -Persons under too deep conviction to attend to aught else, have<a class="pagenum" name="Page_52" id="Page_52">[52]</a> -been allowed and advised to wait upon God, and suitable persons -have been permitted to wait with them. Occasionally scenes have -transpired not to be forgotten nor to be described—the tears, -the sighs, the groans, the bowed or prostrate form—and the after -unspeakable joy! As time has gone on, whether for better or worse, -the emotional has diminished. We have never sought to produce -excitement, nor have we sought rudely to crush it out when it came -spontaneously, but to quiet it off by indirect means, a thing -always soon successful. Doubtless clearer views of truth are doing -away with that frenzy of religious excitement which has so largely -prevailed, unbalancing the reason and prostrating the body.</p> - -<p>We find it necessary to follow a revival with oft-repeated -instructions as to the doctrines and duties of Christianity. The -young converts need much loving and wise watchcare. They are -exposed to many dangers, and have nearly everything to learn, -except that they are the Lord’s and he is theirs.</p> - -<p>Some years in the history of Fisk University have been years -of great barrenness in spiritual things, but none of entire -unfruitfulness. Yet long and sorely have we been made to cry unto -God, and humble ourselves before Him. Other years are precious in -our memories because of God’s peculiar presence there. Three are -especially so, 1870, 1873, and 1876; but space will not permit us -to enter upon them. Books might be written about them, but they are -recorded in God’s book of remembrance; there let them remain. Oh, -for a mighty and continual baptism of the Holy Ghost on all our -schools in the South!</p> - -<hr class="chap" /> - - -<h4>Sanitary Reform—Business—Industrial Instruction—Lecture -Course—Revival.</h4> - -<p class="secauth">PROF. A. J. STEELE, MEMPHIS.</p> - -<p>Great is sanitary reform, at least so say all good Memphians. -The Memphis of last November is not the Memphis of this, except -in muddy and broken streets and shabby street cars drawn by more -shabby mules. For these, “men may come and men may go, but they go -on forever.”</p> - -<p>The business season opened in October, hopefully and more brisk -than ever before, notwithstanding that our population has within -the three years dropped from fifty to thirty-five thousand.</p> - -<p>Merchants are reaping a rich harvest, and all kinds of labor find -employment and fair pay, interrupted somewhat for the past month by -severe cold and continued rains, which have also seriously damaged -the ungathered cotton crop. What would you say to <em>ninety inches</em> -rainfall in <em>eleven</em> months? This is the amount reported by the -signal service observer at Vicksburg for this year up to December 1.</p> - -<p>No one now thinks of Memphis as a failure; what with a unique and -almost perfect system of sewerage nearly completed, and what with -a growing wholesale trade and many permanent improvements, both -public and private, a new Memphis, indeed, must soon replace the -old.</p> - -<p>School opened in October with a full attendance and every promise -of a most successful year. Our rooms for industrial instruction are -now finished and ready for use. The classes in needlework, etc., -are organized, and in January a class or classes in cooking will -receive regular instruction, with practice in the experimental -kitchen.</p> - -<p>Instruction will also be given to a class in the care of the sick. -It is a fact that the great majority of our pupils must continue -in very humble positions and circumstances; our aim must be to fit -them to fill well the lots that must fall to them in life; and -whatever positions they may fill, they must know how to build up, -and even adorn, homes that shall be very different from those their -parents have known.</p> - -<p><a class="pagenum" name="Page_53" id="Page_53">[53]</a></p> - -<p>The proverb runs, “A man far from home is near to danger.” The most -direct way, certainly, of bringing better things to these people, -and to the South, is through the home.</p> - -<p>Our lecture course for this year is about made up. Dr. Magoun, -while here in attendance upon the conference and to visit his -daughter, our music teacher, gave the first lecture in this year’s -course. Among others to speak are Rev. Dr. Max Samfield, Jewish -Rabbi; Rev. Mr. Mayo, of Boston; Judge Pierce of the Circuit Court, -two physicians and other prominent professional and business men -here. Our idea is to have all the lectures, as far as possible, -deal with practical matters, in some degree according with our -regular industrial work. In the past four weeks we have been -greatly blessed by the Spirit’s presence with us, over thirty -of our pupils having found the “better way,” we trust. With the -exception of one or two sitting-room meetings, we have only held a -half-hour prayer meeting each day directly after school. Some of -the conversions have come with wonderful power and presence of the -Spirit, but all with quietness and assurance. We hope for still -more, and we are glad to have before us so much of the year with -its opportunities for training these “lambs” in the Christian life. -Most of them go with their parents and friends to the old churches, -where, too often, the weekly or occasional emotional outburst or -religious frenzy takes the place of real Christian growth and -experience. A number will join our church, two or three even -breaking away from friends and parents to find a more intelligent, -helpful church connection.</p> -</div> - -<hr class="full" /> -<div class="article"> -<h2>THE INDIANS.</h2> - - -<hr class="chap" /> - - -<h3>LETTERS FROM INDIAN BOYS.</h3> - -<p>Miss Eustis sends us the following letters from two of our Indian -boys at Hampton.

POND, SAN FRANCISCO.</p> - -<p><i>The Marysville Mission</i>, being viewed as no longer an experiment, -celebrated its first anniversary on Nov. 21st, at the Presbyterian -Church in that city. Its spacious and beautiful auditorium was -crowded, the Methodist congregation uniting in the services. -The exercises were very simple, consisting of recitations of -Scripture, singing, and an address by our helper, Lee Sam. But -the interest rose as the service moved on, till after a specially -excellent recitation of I Cor., 13th chap., and especially after -Lee Sam’s address, it burst forth in applause. At almost all our -anniversaries, held though they are in churches and on Sunday -evenings, this expression of interest takes place, unsought, -unexpected, undesired, but showing in a gratifying way that -whatever hard things men may say of a class of people, as a class, -of a race as a race, in the abstract, yet bring them face to -face with individuals of that class or race, trying to improve -themselves, struggling upwards toward intelligence and freedom and -Christianity, and they cannot refuse them the tribute of their -good will, their cheery God-speed. There were Congressmen in the -olden times who voted<a class="pagenum" name="Page_55" id="Page_55">[55]</a> for the Fugitive Slave Law, and orators who -defended it before the people, who could not possibly have helped -wishing success to any individual fugitive if they actually saw him -making for liberty with his eye on the north star, and even giving -the poor fellow a sly lift that way if they had an opportunity. A -warm heart is too strong for a wrong head under such circumstances. -And so our anti-Chinese friends at Marysville gave us their -presence at our Anniversary, curious to see what could be done, -and before we were through bade us God-speed and helped us with a -generous contribution. On the day following, a well-officered local -auxiliary, like those at Sacramento, Stockton, Petaluma and Los -Angeles, was organized. The school is now established in permanent -quarters, furnished with all that is indispensable to a comfortable -mission house, and sets forth on its second year with promise of -good work and glad harvests.</p> - -<p><i>New Schools.</i>—In this month of December, in which I am writing, -we have thirteen schools in operation, a larger number than ever -before. The Oroville school resumed its sessions December 1st under -the care of Miss Helen Ostrom, whose father, once a missionary at -Amoy, China, has taken pastoral charge of the Congregational Church -in that place. It starts well, and engages the interest not only -of the Chinese, but also of the better element among the Christian -people of that town, to a greater degree, I believe, than ever -before.</p> - -<p>Of the two new schools, one is in Oakland, occupying an apartment -kindly granted for the purpose by the Pacific Theological Seminary, -situated about 1¼ miles from the school already sustained in -rooms supplied by the First Congregational Church. It is near the -Plymouth Avenue Church, and will, we trust, be taken under its -wing. Miss Maria W. Bye is its faithful and devoted teacher. The -other new school is at Point Pedro, the Chinese fishing village of -which some account was given in the December <span class="smcap">Missionary</span>. -On visiting the place I found it to consist of six or seven -distinct villages situated on the shore of little coves, and -separated from each other by points of greater or less altitude -jutting out boldly into the Bay. The population, estimated at about -600, is thus divided into little groups of, say, 100 people each; -the distance from the nearest to the most remote being not less -than two miles. It calls for <em>two</em> schools, and affording, as it -does, a field for missionary service among women and children as -well as men, it needs at least one teacher able to give not only -evenings, but the daytime also to the work. We are at present -feeling our way under conditions quite different from those in -any of our older schools, praying that the wisdom from above may -save us from the mistakes into which our own unaided counsel would -plunge us certainly; and that, as we learn how to reach these dark -and scattered multitudes, we may have means adequate to the task. -“As thy days so shall thy strength be.”</p> - -<p><i>The Money Question.</i>—Many who count themselves specially prudent -find no room for the exercise of faith in matters of cash. But I -have not so read either the word or the providence of God. We are -walking by faith in laying out our missionary work for this new -year. In place of the $1,610.70 received last year over and above -the regular appropriation from the treasury in New York, we rely -upon raising $5,000 this year. We cannot do the work waiting to be -done, we cannot answer the Master’s call with any less sum than -that. Every cent of it can be used without extravagance. Indeed we -can practice a more effective economy on an income of $10,000 per -annum than on one of $7,600. A certain amount is necessary even -to <em>start</em>. There are some heavy expenses from which<a class="pagenum" name="Page_56" id="Page_56">[56]</a> there is no -escape however we may cut down the work, unless, indeed, we cut its -life out altogether. These would not be materially increased even -though the service rendered were increased three-fold. We look, -therefore, first to the Master himself, and then to his people, -whom he constitutes his almoners, to make up this $5,000. Humbly -trusting to his faithfulness, we expect it to come, and we venture -forward on that expectation. Already, from a helper in the “far -East” comes an unsolicited gift of $100, and a pledge of another -$100 if, thereby, this $5,000 can be secured. Already I seem to -see in the near future full twenty-five or even many more of such -$100 shares taken. Where shall I find the remainder? Are there no -readers of the <span class="smcap">Missionary</span> who can aid me to answer this -question? “Inasmuch as ye have done it even to one of the least of -these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.”</p> -</div> - -<hr class="full" /> -<div class="article"> -<h2>CHILDREN’S PAGE.</h2> - -<hr class="chap" /> - - -<h3>BILL AND ANDY’S LARK.</h3> - -<p class="secauth">MRS. HARRIET A. CHEEVER</p> - -<p>“I say, Andy! let’s go hear Sam Andrews talk to-night; doesn’t cost -anything to go in, but they take a c’llection after he’s through, -so we can put ten cents in the box, and after meetin’ we can buy -some nuts and candy, and have quite a little lark; come on, will -you?”</p> - -<p>“Sam Andrews!” said Andy, “what, that colored boy that’s been off -to the sem’nary?”</p> - -<p>“Yes; they say he talks splendid.”</p> - -<p>“How much money you got?” queried Andy.</p> - -<p>“Fifty cents,” answered Bill. “I’ll take forty cents along -to-night—earned it all, you know, so it’s mine to do what I please -with; I’ll put ten cents in the box,—oughter help Sam a little, -you know,—then I’ll spend, say twenty cents for goodies, and have -ten cents in my pocket, and leave ten cents at home; must save a -little, you know; how much you got?”</p> - -<p>“I’ve got fifty cents too;” said Andy. “Yes, I’ll go. Father won’t -object to my goin’ to hear Sam, and of course we won’t stay out -very late.”</p> - -<p>Bill and Andy were boy chums, who at the present speaking were -roosting on a picket fence, in that seemingly comfortable manner -in which bipeds of their species seem perfectly capable of doing. -They were good-hearted, industrious boys, but rather thoughtless at -times, and the parents of both often felt troubled that they seemed -to care so little for “book learning.”</p> - -<p>Sure enough, when the Town Hall was filling with a half interested, -half curious audience to hear Sam Andrew’s story, among the rest, -on the back seats, sat Bill and Andy.</p> - -<p>Pretty soon Sam began; he told how, through struggles and -hardships, want and poverty, he had persisted in gaining an -entrance into the seminary.</p> - -<p>All at once, Bill swallowed hard, then whispered to his companion,</p> - -<p>“I say, Andy, let’s give Sam twenty cents instead of ten!”</p> - -<p>“Yes, let’s,” readily agreed Andy.</p> - -<p>Sam went on; he told how fever broke out among some of the seminary -boys, and he and a few others spent the last cent they could raise -in getting medicines, and alas! a coffin in more than one case.</p> - -<p>This time Bill gulped down a great sob, and whispered brokenly,</p> - -<p>“Andy, old boy, let’s make it thirty cents; a heart of stone -couldn’t stan’ that!”</p> - -<p>“Yes, so we will,” gasped Andy, with shining eyes.</p> - -<p>Sam continued: he told of selling the<a class="pagenum" name="Page_57" id="Page_57">[57]</a> coat off his back, sooner -than give up his precious opportunities for studying and improving -his mind.</p> - -<p>Here Bill gave Andy a nudge, and whispered desperately,</p> - -<p>“I’m goin’ the whole forty, Andy; what’s a selfish old lark of nuts -and candy, I’d like to know, for a well fed cove like me? I’ll help -Sam the whole figger,—cookies if I won’t!”</p> - -<p>“Feel as if I’d been a pig all my life,” whimpered Andy, as Sam -went on with his piteous story of painful perseverance and hard -endurance. All at once Bill began edging off the settee, but he -stopped to whisper again,</p> - -<p>“Say, Andy, I’m going home as tight as ever I can leg it after that -other ten cents; be back in a minute;” and before Andy could reply -he was off: in a few moments he was back again, but where was Andy?</p> - -<p>A moment later Andy entered softly, and taking his seat by Bill, -opened his hand, in which was <em>his</em> last ten cent piece.</p> - -<p>But it might have done one real good to have seen the peculiar -shine in the eyes of the generous boys, as their willing offerings -rattled down into the well-filled box which was passed around for -the collection at the close of the meeting.</p> - -<p>And after all, that was not the best of it, for on the way home, -instead of the “selfish lark” so cheerfully given up, the boys had -a good sensible talk, in which they agreed that it was shameful, -the way in which they had neglected their studies, and here was a -poor colored boy, who had suffered “all a feller <em>could</em> suffer and -pull through,”—as Andy remarked with boy-like earnestness,—for -the knowledge they, in their favored freedom from care and -privation, had hardly thought worth possessing, much less toiling -for.</p> - -<p>Bill and Andy’s parents silently wondered what had come over their -boys, that all at once they grew so thoughtful and studious; but -the boys knew what had come over them, and they also knew why it -was that whenever they earned any money, a part was saved out from -the rest for charitable purposes.</p> - -<p>“Makes a feller feel quite like a man to help some one else along a -little besides himself, doesn’t it Bill, old boy?” Andy asked one -day.</p> - -<p>And Bill replied,</p> - -<p>“Guess it does! We can’t do much, but even our little is worth -givin’, ’specially when a cove saves it himself: guess our -Sunday-school teacher was right; let’s see, what was that verse -she said?—‘It is more blesseder to—to give away a part, than to -receive all inter yourself,’—I believe that was about it, and <em>so</em> -much better than wastin’ it on a senseless lark!”</p> -</div> - -<hr class="full" /> -<div class="article"> -<h2>RECEIPTS</h2> - -<p class="section">FOR DECEMBER, 1880.</p> - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<table class="receipts"> -<tr><td class="statehead" colspan="2">MAINE, $253.87.</td></tr> - -<tr> -<td class="sub1">Bangor.

For forty 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 not protected by copyright 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: 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/old/55273-h/images/bible.jpg b/old/55273-h/images/bible.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 855ffa0..0000000 --- a/old/55273-h/images/bible.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/55273-h/images/cover.jpg b/old/55273-h/images/cover.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index fca4aa5..0000000 --- a/old/55273-h/images/cover.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/55273-h/images/fleurdelis.jpg b/old/55273-h/images/fleurdelis.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index eb1161e..0000000 --- a/old/55273-h/images/fleurdelis.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/55273-h/images/icon1.jpg b/old/55273-h/images/icon1.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 2c34dd8..0000000 --- a/old/55273-h/images/icon1.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/55273-h/images/icon2.jpg b/old/55273-h/images/icon2.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index fabe5c0..0000000 --- a/old/55273-h/images/icon2.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/55273-h/images/icon3.jpg b/old/55273-h/images/icon3.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 89c15b0..0000000 --- a/old/55273-h/images/icon3.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/55273-h/images/icon4.jpg b/old/55273-h/images/icon4.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index f9879c7..0000000 --- a/old/55273-h/images/icon4.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/55273-h/images/icon5.jpg b/old/55273-h/images/icon5.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 0472fa9..0000000 --- a/old/55273-h/images/icon5.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/55273-h/images/pointer.jpg b/old/55273-h/images/pointer.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 4d6fa13..0000000 --- a/old/55273-h/images/pointer.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/55273-h/images/pump.jpg b/old/55273-h/images/pump.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 13d3296..0000000 --- a/old/55273-h/images/pump.jpg +++ /dev/null |
