M. A., was -dedicated on the evening of March 12th. (See picture on opposite -page.) The history of the house and the services of dedication are -of sufficient interest to warrant a notice in these pages. - -Something like a year ago, a gentleman who signed himself -“_Howard_,” and whose real name was only known at the Boston -office, gave $3,000 to build the house. Rev. D. D. Dodge, our -Superintendent at Wilmington, was charged with the duty of securing -a site, of procuring plans and estimates, and of building the house -within the sum appropriated. This work Mr. Dodge duly undertook, -intending to build of wood, but, after the foundations were laid -and the frame was up, “Howard” signified his wish to have the frame -“jacketed” with brick, and for that purpose added $600 more to his -donation, thus making the entire coat $3,600. - -The house will seat 450 people, is 72 feet in length by 36 in -width, and measures 22 feet in the clear. It has a corner tower -rising 100 feet from the street below, and is the highest object in -the city, and the first seen on approaching the city from the Sound. - -The brick is of a deep red, and, though not pressed, looks as if -it were. The proportions of the building could not well be more -perfect or more pleasing to the eye. Both the local press and -the people speak of it as an ornament to the city, and express -surprise that it could have been built for a sum less than eight -or ten thousand dollars. It should be said, however, that all the -parties on the ground of whom the material was bought, sold at -the lowest rates; those furnishing the lumber, sashes, doors and -iron, throwing off the entire local profit; and Mr. Barstow, of -Providence, R.I., 65 per cent. from the two furnaces to heat the -house. Mr. Dodge, also, gave his time to the work; and Mr. Weston, -of Nashua, N.H., who laid the brick, a part of his. This will -account in part for so fine a building at so moderate an outlay -of money. A large, dry and light cellar extends under the whole -building, which will furnish needed room for storing coal, wood, -&c., for the mission. - -The services of dedication occurred in the following order: 1. -Anthem, by the Choir. 2. Prayer, by Rev. Mr. Dodge. 3. Reading of -the Scriptures, by Rev. Dr. Taylor, of the First Baptist (white) -Church of the city. 4. Singing. 5. Sermon, by Rev. C. L. Woodworth, -from Luke xiv. 23. 6. Dedicatory Prayer, by Rev. Dr. Wilson, of the -First Presbyterian Church (white). - -After the dedication proper, “_Howard_”—who turns out to be the -Hon. James J. H. Gregory, of Marblehead, Mass.—was introduced as -the giver of the house. In an address full of feeling and of good -sense he offered the salutations and the fellowship of the Northern -Congregational Churches. Drs. Wilson and Taylor followed with words -of kindly greeting, and assurances of sympathy and co-operation -from their respective churches: the former slyly saying that -the only thing he wished different was that the church was -Presbyterian, and the latter responding that the thing he wished -different was that the church was Baptist. Two others, laymen, -spoke from the floor in a similar strain. The addresses were, in -every sense, genial and hearty. - -The house was entirely filled, and among the audience were forty or -fifty of the best white citizens of the city, all of whom showed -interest and some of whom expressed warm sympathy. - -Thus ended a scene in which Christian feeling and fellowship seemed -to have conquered prejudices and differences on all sides, and -the workers from the North and from the South clasped hands in -fraternal regard, and pledged each other hearty good will. - -As growing out of this, and, perhaps, a happy finale, it may be -of interest to say that Dr. Taylor very cordially invited Mr. -Woodworth to preach in his pulpit the next Sabbath morning. The -offer was accepted, and the occasion proved one of great pleasure -to the speaker, and, if judged by the greetings at the close, not -less so to the large audience which listened. - -At the proper time we shall take occasion to state the further -good which Mr. Gregory intends for the “Christ Church Mission” at -Wilmington. - - * * * * * - -On the 27th ult., Secretary Strieby presented the cause of this -Association in Dr. R. S. Storrs’ church, Brooklyn, N.Y., and -after a full and earnest endorsement by the pastor, a collection -was taken, amounting to $3,200, one gentleman giving $2,500 of the -amount. On the same Sabbath, Dr. Wm. M. Taylor, of the Broadway -Tabernacle, New York, presented our cause with his usual marked -ability, and his appeal was followed by a contribution of $1,500, -an increase of about fifty per cent, over last year’s donations -to the same object. In connection with the many good words that -have been recently uttered in behalf of Christian education at -the South, it is exceedingly cheering to record such reports of -increased interest and liberality. Shall we not have many more to -follow? - - * * * * * - -We have alluded repeatedly to the unanimity now prevalent as to -the remedy for the radical troubles in the South—the education of -the Freedmen. President Garfield’s message sets it forth again in -forcible terms. But ever since Gen. Grant’s military policy became -intolerable to the South and a weariness to the North, and was -abandoned by President Hayes, the conviction that moral and not -military forces are needed has deepened, and has found distinct -utterance by representative men in all sections of the country. -President Hayes, in his address to his comrades in arms at Canton, -O., and Senator Brown of Georgia, in his speech in the Senate, -may stand as the exponents of the two sections of the country and -the two political parties on that subject, while Dr. Ruffner, -Superintendent of Public Instruction of Virginia and Rev. Dr. -Haygood of the M. E. Church South, may represent two influential -States in the South, and two great religious denominations. The -popularity of Judge Tourgee’s book at the North, in which the same -thought is fully and eloquently set forth, may be taken as another -evidence of the views held here. - -The thing that remains, as Paul says, is to “_perform the doing -of it_.” President Garfield refers not only to the duty of the -national and State governments, but also to “volunteer forces” -in the great work. To these with churches in the South must be -committed the essential _Christian_ efforts—which neither the -general nor State authorities can do. - -It is all-important that the nation should not content itself with -the simple utterances of these noble declarations. Good people, -patriotic people should act, and act promptly and liberally. We -exhort our patrons earnestly to step forth, not spasmodically, -but to inaugurate regular and enlarged measures of assistance. To -this end we venture to suggest regular and steadily increasing -collections in the churches with favorable seasons in the year -for taking them, and that individuals feel more their personal -responsibility in the case and that by liberal gifts in life, -and by remembering the cause in their wills they provide for the -pressing work of the age, and for its progress after they have -passed away. - - * * * * * - -We are indebted to Dr. L. T. Chamberlain, of Norwich, Conn., for -a copy of a valuable missionary concert exercise prepared for the -use of his church and Sabbath-schools. The exercise is separated -into three divisions, each of which forms a series of responsive -readings. 1. Responsive Scripture readings. 2. Statements of the -object of the concert—missions and the world’s conversion. 3. -Missionary agencies. Under this latter division is outlined a -series of questions and answers showing the work carried on by -the American Home Missionary Society, the American Missionary -Association and the American Board. We commend this missionary -concert exercise as suitable for general use, and eminently -fitted to bring the Sabbath-schools especially into more intimate -relations with the work of our great missionary societies. - - * * * * * - -The New York, Madeira and West Coast of Africa Steamship Company, -which has been recently projected, is likely to be of much service, -both to commerce and to Christian missions. The names of the -incorporators include those of Wm. E. Dodge, John D. Fish, Joseph -W. Yates, Robert Porterfield, and other well-known capitalists. -These gentlemen have both the means and the experience requisite, -and we have a right to conclude that the company will have its -ships ready for service at an early day. The capital stock is -$100,000, with a proviso allowing an increase of capital to -$4,000,000, and the company is to continue for twenty years. The -President, Mr. James W. Yates, of the firm of Yates & Porterfield, -has been for years engaged in the West African Trade, and the -missionaries of this Association have frequently passed on their -way to and from our Mendi Mission in his vessels. - -The recent impulse that has been given to commerce by the activity -in promoting internal improvements, such as telegraph and railway -systems, from the mouth of the Gambia to the Niger, together with -the rapid development of industries, especially those pertaining -to gold mining, the production of palm oil, and the culture of -coffee, give promise of large trade between New York and this -portion of Africa. The number of missionaries, as well as the -number of colonists for Liberia and elsewhere, will be sure to -multiply with the increase of wealth among the colored people of -America, and the improved facilities for reaching the land of their -fathers. - -We regard this enterprise as auspicious, and one of the many -providential events looking toward the early evangelization of the -vast tribes of people in Central Africa. May God speed this new -steamship company in His own good way! - - * * * * * - -We have seen the report of the Fourteenth Street Presbyterian -Sabbath-school of this city, which is at once suggestive and -most encouraging as to what may be done in the way of systematic -giving. The Creed of the school, if heartily accepted, would secure -such results in all our Sabbath-schools and churches. This Creed -contains the following articles: - -_We believe_, I. That every one should help others to the Gospel. - -II. That every one should _help as much as he can_. - -III. That every one should find this work for others blessed and -helpful to himself. - -Three rules are drawn from this Creed: - - { I. Regularly each Lord’s day. - We will give: { II. Consecutively, according to our ability. - {III. Joyfully, because a privilege and blessing - to ourselves. - -The result has been that in the intermediate and senior -departments, 31 classes made 8,037 out of a possible 8,070 -offerings; that is, there were only 33 failures to keep the whole -number of promises made for the year, though because of vacation, -sickness, etc., there were 2,004 absences from school. - -In the infant department, 11 classes brought 3,355 out of 3,403 -offerings promised for the year; that is, there were only 48 -failures. - -The average attendance in the main room was 201–3/4, of whom -200-37/40 brought their offerings. - -The average in the infant department was 85–3/40 of whom 83–7/8 -brought their offerings. - -If this same conscientious regularity could be secured in all our -churches and Sabbath-schools, the work of the A. M. A. would never -suffer for want of funds. What _has_ been done, _can_ be done. - - * * * * * - - -PROF. BLAIKIE’S LIFE OF LIVINGSTONE. - -This volume, published by Harper Bros., is a book of extraordinary -interest. In it two great and good minds meet and yield practical -thought and valuable instruction. They also give us a rare -combination of wise and spiritual truths, calculated to fill the -soul of the reader with great aspirations for a richer experience -in things that pertain to Christ’s kingdom. If the book were read -by Christians everywhere the effect could scarcely be less than -a reformation. It is what is needed, under God, to counteract -the flood of secular things that evermore threaten to quench the -missionary spirit in the hearts of believers. The consecration, -perseverance, enterprise, skill, heroism, fidelity and charity of -Livingstone’s life are dwelt upon by Dr. Blaikie with such grateful -emotions as prompt him to say—“The author could wish for no higher -honor than to have his name associated with that of Livingstone, -and can desire no greater pleasure than that of conveying to other -minds the impressions that have been left on his own.” - -Among the many favorable impressions made by this book are -those that relate to Livingstone’s superb faith. This was quite -discoverable in his early life. Talking with his father—“They -agreed that the time would come when rich men and great men would -think it an honor to support whole stations of missionaries instead -of spending their money on hounds and horses.” When he became great -and moderately rich, he illustrated his own faith by his gifts for -missions, and his devotion to the success of the laborers who went -forth at his instance. All this flowed naturally from his life-long -purpose. “I will place no value on anything I have or may possess, -except in relation to the kingdom of Christ.” - -Upon this followed his exquisite trust for Divine protection. “If -God has accepted my service, then my life is charmed till my work -is done.” But his faith and works were rounded out by all that was -needful to make them complete. “It was in front and not in the rear -that he expected to find the pillar of cloud and the pillar of -fire,” and it was unto the Lord of Hosts he looked for victory, and -unto Him his prayer ascended unceasingly: “O, Almighty God, help -and leave not this wicked people to the slave-dealer and Satan!” - -He not only kept at work answering his own prayer, but was given -to see, as he thought, how all things were working together -for the wished-for consummation. “Viewed in relation to my -calling,” he says, “the end of the geographical feat is only -the beginning of the enterprise. We are all engaged in very -much the same cause—geographers, astronomers and mechanicians -laboring to make men better acquainted with each other—promoters -of Niger expeditions, soldiers fighting for right against -oppression, and sailors rescuing captives in deadly climes, as -well as missionaries, are all aiding in hastening on a glorious -consummation to all God’s dealings with our race. In the hope that -I may yet be honored to do some good to this poor long down-trodden -Africa, the gentlemen over whom you have the honor to preside, -will, I believe, cordially join.” - -That the millions who are interested in the negro race may -“cordially join” in the endeavors promoted by this man for “poor -down-trodden Africa,” is our most earnest wish, and, with this in -view, we heartily welcome and commend Dr. Blaikie’s book. - - * * * * * - - -WHAT THE SOUTHERNERS ARE BEGINNING TO THINK. - -The following extracts taken from an editorial which appeared -in the _Memphis Daily Appeal_, March 18th, contain so much true -appreciation of what ought to be done for the Negro under the -circumstances, that we are glad to give them a place in our -columns. We believe they indicate that the South is on the eve of a -great revolution of sentiment respecting the importance of popular -education, and that if the friends of the A. M. A. will assist us -in pushing forward with our present and proposed work, the time -will come speedily when the recognition of the vital importance of -our principles and institutions will be well nigh universal. - -After commenting upon an article which appeared in the _North -American Review_ from the pen of Chief Justice Chalmers, quoting -from him the assertion that the negroes’ “right to vote as a race -is as fixed and irreversible as their freedom,” and that “the -ballot box must speak the unbiased verdict of all lawful electors,” -the editor says: “No sane man doubts it; there is but one thing -left for the people of the South to do, and that is to throw -themselves into the work of educating the negro, of lifting him -out of the deplorable condition of brutality which slavery left -him in, and elevating him to a plane where he can not only stand -alone and see for himself, but where he can not be reached by the -arts of demagogues, of which, unfortunately for the country, there -are too many in all parties. In this work, a man of culture, like -Judge Chalmers, can do a great deal. He can by personal example -induce the leading men of his State to come to the front as eager -defenders of a thorough system of public education. They have, as -most of those of the other Southern States have done, too long -stood aloof and allowed the stranger to do for the negro what they -should have done themselves as willing workers, instead of making -mouths at a fate which after fifteen years of effort they find is -superior to anything they can put forward against it. - -“Thirteen years ago the Jackson _Clarion_ warned the people of -Mississippi, as the leading papers of the South everywhere did, -that ‘there was but one way out of the wilderness, and that was -as plain as the road to market. It was to recognize the rights -the Federal Government had bestowed upon the negro; to treat him -kindly, and to point him the way he should go.’ This plan was not -generally pursued. But it is never too late to mend. We can begin -now the work that should have been done in 1867. We can rescue the -negro from the ignorance that threatens him and us by establishing -good public schools—not grudgingly, as if we were conferring an -unwilling charity—but in a broad, cheerful, earnest and good -neighborly spirit, as if we were performing a duty—a paramount -and most important duty. Under God this is the only remedy for -negro suffrage. It is a waste of time to talk of abridging it. -Revolutions never go backward. The best answer to that sort of talk -is that the United States never were so strong or so prosperous -as they are at this moment, when public sentiment is in all the -States demanding the most absolute assertion of democratic life -and living. Instead of looking back, we must look forward; nay, we -must go forward, and we must take the negro by the hand and make -him feel that he is a part of the great column of the people; that -his destiny is interlaced with ours; that we must not stand apart, -isolated and at enmity, but go forward, each doing what he can to -strengthen the community at all points, moral and physical, to -uphold and defend our democratic form of government and perpetuate -unsullied the liberties which have survived the chaos of civil war -and reconstruction.” - - * * * * * - -We are glad to add to the other testimonials from able and -intelligent Southerners, a few words from the remarkable -Thanksgiving Sermon of Rev. Atticus G. Haygood, D.D., President of -Emery College, Oxford, Ga.: - -“There is a vast mass of illiteracy among us. There is white as -well as black illiteracy. There are multiplied thousands who can -neither read nor write. They must be taught. - -“Let us wake up to our want of educational facilities. Our -public-school system is painfully inadequate. Our colleges and -universities are unendowed, and they struggle against fearful odds -in their efforts to do their work. We are one hundred years behind -the Eastern and Middle States. We are also behind many of the new -States of the West. - -“For the negroes themselves. * * * * Much depends on those who, -under God, set them free. By every token this whole nation should -undertake the problem of their education. That problem will have -to be worked out on the basis of co-operation; that is, they must -be helped to help themselves. To make their education an absolute -gratuity will perpetuate many of the misconceptions and weaknesses -of character which now embarrass and hinder their progress. Much -also depends upon the Southern white people, their sympathy, their -justice, their wise and helpful co-operation. This we should give -them, not reluctantly, but gladly, for their good and for the -safety of all, for their elevation and for the glory of God.” - - * * * * * - - -BENEFACTIONS. - -Three Israelites in Germany devoted 1,400,000 marks to charitable -purposes without distinction of faith. - -Mr. J. H. Wade of Cleveland, O., has given $92,000 to the City -Orphan Asylum, $12,000 of which is to be applied for a school-house. - -The late John M. Pinkerton, Esq. left about $300,000 to Pinkerton -Academy at Derry, N.H. Mr. Pinkerton was a native of that town, -and the Academy was founded by his grandfather. - -The late E. R. Harris, of Preston, England, left over £300,000 for -the establishment of public institutions for the town, of which -£100,000 will be expended for an orphan home, and £50,000 for a -science and art school. - -The late Hugh Meharry, of Paxton, Ill., left the following -bequests: To the Central Tennessee College, $10,000; to the Parent -Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, $10,000; to -the American Bible Society, $10,000. - -If the executors of A. T. Stewart carry out the proposed plan of -a college for educating 1,500 young men—with an endowment of some -three to four million dollars—it will doubtless be the largest -donation to education from any one estate. - -The late Herr Isador Kraft, of Berlin, a wealthy philanthropist, -has left behind him a will which would have rejoiced the soul of -Tom Hood. He has ordered that half of his fortune of 1,000,000 -marks be expended in the foundation of a fund for the assistance of -poor needlewomen, without regard to sect. - -Mr. Amasa Stone has given $500,000 for the removal of Western -Reserve College to Cleveland, O. The citizens have raised $100,000, -with which a site of 40 acres has been purchased on Euclid Avenue, -opposite Wade Park. It is proposed to locate the College and the -Case School of Applied Science, with its endowment of $1,250,000, -on these grounds, and to designate the different schools as Western -Reserve University. The combined endowment funds exceed $2,000,000. - - * * * * * - - -GENERAL NOTES. - - -Africa. - -—The Sultan of Zanzibar has put in irons three slave-owners -prominent in the late disturbances at Mombasa. - -—M. Callisto Legnani has been named as consular agent of the -kingdom of Italy, with his residence at Khartoum. - -—Mr. Mackay, missionary of the Church Missionary Society at Mteza’s -kingdom, has completed his translation of St. Matthew’s Gospel into -the language of Uganda. - -—Lieutenant Dumbleton and the military physician Browning embarked -the last of December at Liverpool to penetrate by the Gambia into -the valley of the Niger, and if possible as far as Timbuctoo. - -—The journal _Nature_, of London, announces that M. J. Thomson, the -explorer of the region between the Dar-es-Salam, the Nyassa and the -Tanganyika, has been called to direct an expedition from Sierra -Leone to Timbuctoo. - -—Capt. Neves Ferreira, Governor of Benguela, and some officers of -the Portuguese army, have offered to the Geographical Society of -Lisbon to undertake a scientific exploration across Africa, setting -out from the Western side. - -—A conference has been held at Madeira by the Church Missionary -Society respecting West African missions. Bishop and Arch-deacon -Crowther, two native Africans, were invited to be present. A -deputation from London had arrived safely at the island some time -since, and the report of proceedings will be looked for with -interest. - -—More than nineteen years since, the daughter of Archbishop Whately -established a mission in Cairo which she is said to have supported -with her own private means. It includes a large mission school for -Copts and Moslems, and is attended daily by more than 500. It has -also in connection with it a medical mission, book depot and Bible -women. - -—Mr. Mackay writes from Kagei, on the southern shore of the -Victoria Nyanza, on November 1st, that canoes had arrived from -Uganda, and he was about proceeding thither together with a -re-inforcement for the Romanist mission. The canoes, however, -having been three months coming across the lake, there was no news -later than July 29th. Affairs were then no brighter and Mr. Pearson -found it difficult to obtain food. - -—It is reported that the women at the Livingstonia Mission, Eastern -Africa, attend the services respectably clothed, and have learned -to make dresses for themselves. The native young men have acquired -many industrial arts, and can make furniture, bricks, etc., and -even work the engines of the steamer belonging to the mission. Over -100 children are on the school-roll, and their attendance is very -regular. - -—Mouchot, an ingenious mechanic, has succeeded with an experiment -in Algiers which is likely to attract much attention among those -interested in the development of the manufacture of industries in -Africa. He has contrived an apparatus by which he is able to pump -and boil water by solar force. With abundance of force, cotton and -working people, the unclad millions of Ethiopia, among whom already -cloth is the most valuable currency, may become both respectable -and rich. - -—A new company of missionaries from Algiers has set out to found -between that side and the great lakes a station which will render -communication easier with the missions of Uganda and Ouroundi, and -from whence they can come to their aid, according to circumstances. -The missionaries of Ouroundi will also establish a new station -to the west of Tanganyika, so that they may advance towards the -Manyema and the Upper Congo by a shorter route than that they have -hitherto followed. - - * * * * * - - -The Indians. - -—Six new converts were received by the church of Odanah, Chippewa -Mission, during the last year. - -—Congress has appropriated $165,000 for indemnity to the Ponca -Indians, and to secure their lands in severalty on either the old -or new reservations, in accordance with their wishes. - -—A few hundred of the Iowas and Sacs are still in the north-eastern -part of Kansas, and the Rev. S. M. Irwin, one of their early -missionaries, has agreed to spend some months in missionary labors -for them. This is regarded as somewhat an experiment, but it is -hoped that it may result in permanent arrangements for their -benefit. - -—Rev. G. L. Deffenbaugh writes from Lapwai, Idaho Territory, of -the very encouraging progress of the Presbyterian mission at that -point. It appears from his statement that thirty-four united with -the church there during the past year, and that now they have a -total membership of 178. Of these three were licensed to preach, -while the ordinance of infant baptism was administered to seven. -Good work was also done at Kamiah, where the church numbers 200. -Seventeen children were baptized at this place during the year -ending Jan. 1st, 1881. - - * * * * * - - -The Chinese. - -—A Christian hospital has been erected at Tientsin, with funds -provided by the viceroy Li Hung Chang, in connection with the -successful treatment of his wife by a female medical missionary. - -—The Chinese Methodist Mission in San Francisco reports as good -results from their religious endeavors as those attained by like -labors among the whites. There are ninety-seven full members and -ten on probation. - -—The American Baptist Missionary Union, Tremont Temple, Boston, has -issued a valuable map of China, including Siam, Burmah and Japan. -It is about six feet by five in dimensions, and will be furnished -at $1.25 cloth, or 75 cents paper. - -—A new Chinese church was dedicated at Honolulu, Jan. 2d. The -building, commodious and attractive, cost with the land $10,700, -the Chinese contributing $4,470. The King and the Attorney-General -were at the dedication. Drs. Damon and Hyde assisted in the -exercises, while the principal parts were taken by Chinese, and the -benediction was pronounced by a native Hawaiian. - - * * * * * - - -ITEMS FROM THE FIELD. - -MCLEANSVILLE, N.C.—On the 4th of March the school observed the day -by giving in the forenoon some account of each of the Presidents. -In the afternoon they set out Garfield shade trees. At night there -was a prayer-meeting, in which the central thought was—pray for the -new President. - -WOODVILLE, GA.—The Pilgrim Church had a very interesting service -March 6th. The building was crowded; three persons were admitted to -membership; one brother was ordained deacon, after which the Lord’s -supper was celebrated. The Sabbath-school is well attended, taking -the place of the forenoon sermon. Twichell school is growing, and -some of the scholars walk eight miles every day to attend. - -NASHVILLE, TENN.—Pres. Cravath in a recent letter says: “This is -a time of special religious interest. Daily prayer-meetings have -been held for several weeks, and there have been a few recent -conversions. Yesterday Dr. Earle, who has been laboring in the city -in connection with the First Baptist Church, came out at eleven and -held a meeting with the students. The audience was deeply moved, -and a large number rose to express a desire to become Christians. -There was deep interest at the night prayer-meeting, and this -morning our opening exercises were changed to a prayer-meeting. -Prof. Bennett held an inquiry meeting all the forenoon in the -parlor. Fourteen think they have found peace, and a large number -are anxious and inquiring. We expect to have the inquiry meeting -again to-morrow. The interest seems very deep and genuine.” - -CHATTANOOGA, TENN.—On last Sabbath evening the Sunday-school held -its quarterly concert, which consisted in reciting the golden texts -of the quarter and the lessons of the same, by topics, with a short -talk on the great missionary work Christ came into this world to -do. Quite a number of people were present and seemed interested in -the services. At the close a contribution of $5.64 was taken for -the A. M. A. - -PARIS, TEXAS.—“Our work is growing. The members are all doing -nicely. All our meetings are full of interest. We are holding -neighborhood prayer-meetings for those who cannot get to the -regular prayer-meeting. One united with us last Sabbath by -profession. Sunday-school is full of interest.” - - - - -THE FREEDMEN. - -REV. JOS. E. ROY, D.D., - -FIELD SUPERINTENDENT, ATLANTA, GA. - - * * * * * - - -GEORGIA. - -Those Atlanta Apples. - -Missionary statistics are sometimes thought to be dry. I propose to -give some that all will concede to be juicy. - -In the good old Massachusetts towns of Amherst, Danvers, Lincoln, -Newton, Norfolk, and Walpole, there grew last summer a choice -collection of forty thousand apples. These apples were choice not -only because of their beauty and flavor, but also because of their -missionary destiny. Scorning to waste their precious substance in -the cellars, and attics, and barns of a region already over-stocked -by their orchard companions, they resolved to put themselves -where they would do the most good. So by the aid of willing hands -and generous hearts they found their way into eighty good-sized -barrels, a goodly half thousand in each barrel. Rail-cars and -steamers brought them to the sunny South, and they were soon -provided with ample accommodations in one of the basements of -Atlanta University. - -It must be confessed that when the barrels were opened some of -the apples had a very green appearance, as though they had never -been on a mission before; while others of them were blushing -violently, as if greatly agitated by the responsibilities of their -new vocation. Subsequent acquaintance, however, proved that these -indications of weakness were wholly upon the surface, and that, -with the exception of a very few who had been suffering from their -long journey, the new comers were sound to the core and fully -prepared for missionary service. - -This service, it must be added, was one which called for nerve -on the part of the missionary recruits in proportion to their -realizing sense of what they were coming to. Many times companies -of two hundred each were summoned from the barrels and placed in -long picket lines around the edges of a dozen large dining tables, -one standing guard at each plate. But scarcely had this been done -when two hundred hungry boys and girls and missionary teachers -appeared upon the scene, and, after bestowing upon the red and -green sentinels many a complacent smile through a long meal of meat -and vegetables, finally attacked them with six thousand (more or -less) sharp ivory weapons, and subjected them to that fate which -other missionaries are said to have suffered among the Cannibal -Islands. Others, after being flayed, drawn and quartered, were -placed in boiling cauldrons, and their indistinguishable remains -were afterwards served up on the same tables in sauce dishes or -concealed under the crust of pies. - -Yet these missionaries of Pomona uttered no complaint, but met -their fate with a calmness that was beautiful to behold. All honor -to the forty thousand! What a host it was! If taken to the capital -of their native state and strung together, they would have made a -festoon stretching from the State house dome to the apex of Bunker -Hill monument! Many, many thanks to our generous friends. - - ALL OF US. - - * * * * * - - -Twenty-eight New Disciples. - -MISS JULIA GOODWIN, ATLANTA. - - “Sweet day, so cool, so calm, so clear! - Bridal of earth and sky.” - -These beautiful lines of the sainted Herbert well describe that -bright day in March, a day in which to breathe its delicious air -was a luxury; a day in which our hearts were lifted up in unison -with all things in Nature; a day long to be remembered as a golden -one in the history of this band of Christ’s followers. - -As we entered the audience room, going from the clear sunshine -without into the subdued light of the sanctuary, we found it filled -to its utmost capacity, and over all seemed to reign a holy calm. -Before the altar sat thirty who waited to be made one with this -fold, (twenty-eight by profession, two by letter). Waiting to -welcome these and to assist in the sacred rites of the hour were -Rev. Messrs. Hawley, Francis, and Beaman, and Dr. Roy. After the -singing of hymns, reading of Scripture and prayer, and the pastor -had spoken fitting words of welcome, admonition and encouragement, -those who had not already received the rite, one after another, -kneeled before the altar for baptism. The hush of solemn stillness -added to the impressiveness of the simple ceremony. Then in the -freshness of their love the twenty-eight new disciples stood and -took the vows of God upon them, while Christian hearts rejoiced; -and may we not believe that angels bent to hear, and carry the -news to Heaven of young hearts renouncing the world and pledging -allegiance to the King of kings? God grant that each one may be -found “faithful unto death.” - -The emblems were blessed, the bread was broken, the wine poured, -the invitation given, “eat ye all of it.” Interesting and touching -reminiscences were indulged in, often with much tenderness of -feeling. The heart-hymn, “My faith looks up to Thee,” every line of -which breathes a prayer, ascended in its wedded tune of Olivet. The -benediction was said; the service was over. - -Thus we tell you of the first ingathering of sheaves from the -harvest not yet fully garnered. Silently, as God’s greatest -blessings always come, this favor has come to us. Seed scattered -through many years by loving hands has, all unnoticed, been -springing up. Sowing, pruning, digging about, preparing the ground -to receive the watering of Divine mercy, has not been in vain. In -answer to fervent, long-continued prayer, not with boisterous -storm or rush of wind, but gently, the rich showers of blessing -fell, “Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, saith the -Lord.” - -The awakening began in our day-school. Much seriousness seemed -manifest during the week of prayer, when daily after-school -meetings were held, and in connection with the labors of Mr. and -Mrs. H. E. Brown, a few weeks later, in many hearts a settled -purpose to serve the Lord found expression. The church and school, -like twin-born sisters, go hand in hand. One can not be troubled -and the other be unaffected; one cannot be blessed and the other -remain unmoved. The work of grace went on, making the Sunday-school -and all church services solemn seasons. Each night the place of -prayer was crowded, many anxious to know the way of life or avowing -their purpose to live for Christ, sometimes struggling through days -of darkness to find the clear light from the sun of righteousness -just beyond. Sweet always will be the remembrance of a morning -greeting from a bright-faced girl of fourteen, as she waited at -the school-yard gate. Her beaming countenance told the story even -before the lips, which quickly uttered the glad words, “_I_ have -found Christ at last! He has forgiven my sins!” - -Some among those who seemed the stoutest-hearted were the first to -submit to Christ, while sadly we look upon others, who remind us of -the young man whom Jesus loved, who seemed near the kingdom and yet -took no step nearer. - -The joy it gives every new-born soul to welcome one after another -to their newly-formed ranks has been beautiful to behold. A hopeful -sign is that everyone seemed so ready, nay, so eager, to do some -service in showing to others the path in which their own feet had -just begun to tread. All love the place of prayer, and often spend -the half-hour recess at noon in a prayer-meeting by themselves in -the small library up-stairs. Some of tender years are as thoughtful -in face and manner as the oldest ones. One in telling of her -new-found love said, “I felt that I loved everybody, and if my arms -had been large enough I thought I would like to take in the whole -world;” and with eyes and voice full of tears, she begged prayers -for her father, who had said, when she urged him to come to Christ, -“I am too old.” - -Just as in days gone by, many benighted ones outside of us believe -that “gettin’ religion” consists in the seeing of visions and the -dreaming of dreams, and those who have been taught the truth in our -Sunday-school are often interrogated; “How far did you go?” “What -did you see in your travels?” “How long did you stay in torment?” -and when they have no answer but the unvarying one, “We are -trying to do Christ’s commands,” they are taunted with “You’re no -Christian!” “Bible religion ain’t no religion.” Yet they show only -a feeling of pity for such ignorant ones. - -There is still among us a spirit of inquiry. At our usual Monday -after-school prayer-meeting many said, “Pray for us!” - -Through all there seems to underlie a current of earnestness and -desire for holier living in God’s children, and more, much more we -crave of willingness and strength, that so we may— - - “Joy to find in every station - Something still to do or bear.” - - * * * * * - - -ALABAMA. - -Temperance—First Impression—First Fruits. - -REV. A. W CURTIS, MARION. - -The temperance agitation here has not been without fruit. A monster -petition was sent to the Legislature, praying for prohibition, and -a law was passed prohibiting all traffic in intoxicating drinks -within five miles’ radius of the court house. The word _Bar_, -printed prominently over several places of common resort, has -found at last its legitimate meaning—to bar out all drinkers. -Everything is very quiet, and it seems probable that a great crowd -of loafers will have to go five miles for their liquor or reform. -One man died from over-drinking the last night of open traffic. Yet -another loud lecture on temperance was given us a few weeks ago. An -old colored man, going home late Saturday night, intoxicated, fell -about eight feet into a gully and broke his neck. The effect of the -new law upon the colored people has proved very salutary. - -Knowing that this people have little opportunity for finding out -the news, I have adopted the plan of giving a brief resumé, such -as will afford them some idea of the world’s progress in all the -great reforms of the day, at the opening of our Sabbath evening -service. It works well, if intense eagerness in listening is a fair -indication. - -My first impression of this people,—Sabbath, January 2d—was that a -very large infusion of white blood and brains was represented in -my audience, and it was very hard to think that most of them had -been slaves. The next was one of respect for my predecessors, as I -noted their readiness and precision in responsive reading; though -I afterwards saw that many of the older ones did not read—could -not, as it proved. You may imagine with what delight some of these -listened to President Garfield’s inaugural address as I read it, -when it came, to such as happened to be within easy reach. Our -work here has been full of encouragement. The attendance is never -large, as compared with the other churches, but good interest has -been manifest from the very first. We moved here January 17th, and -at once revived the meetings at “The Home” for the ladies, the -children and young people, Mrs. C. taking charge, with the one aim -from the first of winning their hearts to Christ. As many as forty -young people have been present at some of her Sunday evening and 3 -P. M. meetings, and at the close frequently several of these would -ask leave to stay and talk personally about becoming Christians. -Of course, we were soon obliged to have special meetings, and have -just closed a session of 17 nights’ consecutive preaching. The Holy -Spirit has been working in many hearts. The church has been greatly -revived. _All_ the Sunday-school children—not already members—have -been forward for prayer, and many others in the community, quite -a number converted, and more awakened who will probably go to the -Baptists, who started a “revival” the second week of our meeting -and are still continuing with great excitement, and I hope real -good results. Not a small part of our work is to stir up the other -churches, for which let us thank God and take courage. Last Sabbath -we received ten of the first fruits on profession of their faith in -Jesus. Nearly every one of our Sabbath-school now think they are -Christians. Oh, for more to come into our Sabbath-school! Pray that -the good work may go on. - - * * * * * - - -LOUISIANA. - -Examination of the Law Department at Straight University. - -It was my pleasure to fall in upon the Straight University at the -time of the annual examination in its Law Department. The exercises -came off at the office of the Dean of the Law Faculty, Judge Alfred -Shaw. There were present, also, the three other Professors, J. C. -Walker, Esq., and Honorables M. M. Cohen and R. T. Posey, and Dr. -W. S. Alexander, President of the University. Eight young men were -examined for graduation, one of whom, J. B. Gaudet, was colored. -Pres. Alexander, leading off in general questions, each of the -Professors followed in the line of his department. The young men -had taken the two courses of lectures and had read law in private, -or under preceptors. All were approved. By the laws of Louisiana, -graduation from this Institution admits at the Bar for practice. -The State University’s Law Department has the same prerogative. -So fades out the color line. Our institutions are color-blind. -Brains and culture stand on their own merit. The accomplished white -law-lecturers and the bright white students receive the colored -aspirant lawyers on the basis of citizenship and scholarship. -Simon Cameron repeats at the North, after a tour of the South, -“the picked-up notion of ‘over-education’ among the blacks, the -same, of whom awhile ago it was said that they could not take on -the higher education. But how would the Pennsylvania statesman -have these sable attorneys prepared for their profession and for -the competition of life and business? Does it not come with an ill -grace that a man who has himself risen from humble position, should -rule down these Africo-Americans to an education that would simply -fit them for good servants?” Of the twenty-five graduates of this -Law Department, seven are colored, and they are making their way -successfully in the Courts. Of the nineteen students now in the -course, five are colored. One is the pastor of the English Lutheran -Church of the city, a former graduate of a Pennsylvania College, -and of Princeton Seminary. - - * * * * * - - - - -AFRICA. - - * * * * * - - -Off for Africa. - -BY REV. HENRY M. LADD. - -It does not seem possible that anyone could ever have crossed the -Atlantic, followed by more prayers and good wishes, than attended -and do, we believe, still attend us. - -Our good steamer, the “City of Berlin,” though advertised to sail -from New York on the twelfth of February, did not leave till the -thirteenth. We met on board, quite unexpectedly, some old college -friends, who were bound for a trip in Europe, and we were therefore -soon at home, surrounded by the most congenial society. - -On the twenty-first we sighted the bold headlands of Cape Clear, -and in the evening we were reading the latest news from London. -Having arrived safely in Liverpool, and Mr. and Mrs. Kemp, colored -missionaries for the Mendi Mission, reaching the same place a few -days later, we were obliged to wait there a week for an African -steamer; but the time was well employed in some preliminary -business in London and elsewhere, with reference to the proposed -new mission in the Nile basin. We had the pleasure of a short but -interesting visit with Rev. O. H. White, D.D., the earnest and -efficient secretary of the Freedman’s Missions Aid Society, who has -done so much to interest our English and Scotch friends in the work -of the American Missionary Association. We also called on Robert -Arthington, Esq., of Leeds, whose munificent generosity has made -possible the opening of the new mission near the head-waters of -the Nile, which is to be distinguished by his name. He received us -very kindly, and with outspread map before us, we spent a pleasant -afternoon together, discussing plans and hopes for the opening -of the work next fall, which now seems to promise so well. On -Saturday, March 5th, we embarked on board the steamship “Mayumba,” -for Africa, and our voyage has been a delightful one ever since. -The same steamer had on board two hundred tons of gunpowder for -the slaughter of the natives. Like the vessel that carried out rum -and missionaries to Turkey, this was carrying powder to kill the -Africans, while we were going for their peace and healing. Yet we -would rather a thousand times go with the powder than with the -rum; for the former, horrid as is the art of war, has in the hands -of the English made a way in the wilderness for the heralds of the -Cross, while the latter has been and always will be an unmitigated -curse. - -But the cloud is beginning to lift. We believe that there is a -bright and cheering history of African missions yet to be written. -The five millions of reserve force, now drilling in America for the -final victory, are yet to be called out, and they will come to the -rescue. They are already on the move. These educated freemen have -developed already many of the proper qualifications for the work. -We must expect failures and disappointments at first from those so -recently in the degradation of slavery, but we believe theirs is -the work, and they will yet do it, and do it grandly, too. With a -holy enthusiasm they are coming by degrees more fully to appreciate -the fact that Africa is their true field of labor—even as this -excellent colored brother and his wife, who are going out with me, -say they would rather die for their degraded brethren in Africa, -than live in Christian America. As, therefore, we approach the -shores of Africa, to enlarge and carry forward this work, I feel -that we are now moving in the line of God’s appointment, and that -success must ultimately crown our efforts. In this very steamer are -those going out in Her Majesty’s service to conquer the rebellious -tribes along this same west coast. Shall we, who are the soldiers -of the Lord of Hosts, the King of kings, have less enthusiasm and -courage in conquering these same tribes with the sword of the -Spirit and in the bonds of peace? - - - TENERIFFE, March 15th. - -I am happy to report our safe arrival at this point on our -journey. We have had a very pleasant voyage thus far, and have -been remarkably well. Mr. and Mrs. Kemp are in excellent health -and spirits. I think we may hope much from them. I have learned to -esteem them very highly. Last Sabbath we touched at Madeira, and -were met on board by Mr. Smart, agent for the “Missions to Seamen -Society,” who very kindly invited us to his house to breakfast and -dinner. There we met Mrs. Godman, of the Wesleyan Mission at Sierra -Leone, who was much broken down in health. These kind friends -showed us every attention possible, and we came away feeling that -we had had a day of great spiritual as well as physical refreshing. -I was much pleased with what little I saw of the place. I have had -many pleasant talks with the Kemps regarding their work, and only -wish we had a dozen such men to send out to Africa. - - * * * * * - - - - -THE CHINESE. - - * * * * * - - -“CALIFORNIA CHINESE MISSION.” - -Auxiliary to the American Missionary Association. - -PRESIDENT: Rev.

Palache, Esq. - - * * * * * - - -A GENTLE GROWL. - -I love to look over the columns of religious intelligence in the -_Congregationalist_, the _Advance_, the _Pacific_. I say to myself: -“How well the churches are doing! How happy all these ministers -must be! How little they have to annoy, to worry, to depress! How -much to make them glad and even jubilant!” Yet, a few days pass, and -possibly one of these very ministers knocks at my study door, to -talk over, confidentially, the pains, the difficulties, the heavy -burdens of his work; a root of bitterness which he has tried in -vain to remove, now springing up to trouble him; finances going all -awry; sad cases calling for discipline,—the duty imperative, and -the church, though stung to the quick with a sense of its dishonor, -too timid to come up to its task. Of course, such things ought not -to go into the papers nor any other but the good and glad things. -We can make others sharers of our joys, but we shrink from asking -them to bear, with us, our pains. - -“Well, that is all right,” I say to myself, and so it is. And yet -those who sustain a missionary work have a _right_ to see it on -_all_ sides. God be thanked that I have had so much to report that -was cheery, stimulating, hopeful; so little that was otherwise. I -wonder if our friends and helpers—readers of the _Missionary_—think -that, like the harvest fields of California, so our Gospel work -is bathed in perpetual sunshine? or do they know that here, too, -we have our darkened skies, our tempests untimely, our frosts -premature? - -“Well, it won’t hurt them if they don’t see the shady side,” I say -to myself again. - -“Yes, but am I _truthful_ in the matter?” I reply, and so even -conscience puts me up to make a gentle growl. There is nothing -very bad to growl about; no more probably than I need; far less -than I deserve; but there is something, almost always, on which if -one allowed himself to brood, he could soon get up steam to scold -hard. And I am not thinking just here of the greater trials of our -work, as when some riotous outburst of anti-Chinese prejudice sends -these people at sunset to their several retreats, and seems, for -the time, to knock our schools prostrate; nor of the sore trials -from false brethren among our Chinese Christians—starting discords -in the little flocks—or by their vile conduct bringing reproach on -the Gospel that they have proclaimed. Those things, I am grateful -to say, belong to years past; and, besides, we don’t growl at the -great trials—it is the comparatively little things that put us in a -scolding mood. - -For instance: here is a teacher who has done well—been faithful, -skilful and successful; has won the intense affection—almost the -reverence of her pupils. But her heart is young, and somebody -else’s heart is young also, and these two have grown together, -till, in an hour of general congratulation, their hands are joined, -and they start off upon life’s journey no longer twain. Then the -same zeal, the same concentration of interest and effort which made -her so successful a teacher, is developed touching home cares and -a husband’s comfort; and weeks grow to months and months to years, -and her face is not seen, even for an hour, in the school-room -where she served so well. She did not mean it so to be; but so it -was, and the shrewd heathen Chinese, that was almost persuaded in -view of her zeal and self-denial to become a Christian, thinks now -that he sees through it all: “Good pay, good teach; no pay, no -teach.” - -Here is another teacher who took up the work with zeal and loved -it—so she said and so she thought; better and better the longer she -wrought. But she is cumbered with much serving all day long, and -brings a weak flesh, and, consequently, a not very willing spirit -to her evening’s service at the mission. The pupils note it. It is -indeed unmistakable, for the head nods and the eyes close, time -and again, before the last school hour is half expired. They don’t -like to burden her, and one by one they drop out of the school. The -Superintendent intervenes as gently as he can; but he finds that it -is very difficult to dismiss a teacher and not lose a friend. - -Here is a field where the opportunity is evidently large, and the -gate to it seems wide open. You enter it hopefully. Plans seem to -form themselves almost without your thinking. Arrangements are made -and the work begins. Then it appears the arrangements were _not_ -made; that you “reckoned without your host;” his plans and yours -do not exactly dovetail, and in this case a miss is as good, and -as ill, as a mile. Delays ensue; disappointment and failure seem -inevitable. The very elements seem to have conspired against you. -And yet that opportunity must not be lost, for there are golden -harvests possible in that wide-open field, and, somehow, you must -reap them. - -It is getting past the middle of your fiscal year. We have -tried hard to make one dollar do the work of two, and yet the -appropriation is well nigh exhausted. Contributions come in slowly. -The churches, you fancy, have forgotten this work; or, possibly -they dare not propose it among their charities. You sally forth, -subscription book in hand. You take the easy ones first, the men -that you “_know_” will give. But they respond to your “know” -with a different “No.” and you draw back to your retirement, you -enter into your closet, and learn to go forth the next time in -the use of a coinage and a wisdom not your own and prayer, or the -prayer-hearing Master, pulls you through, so that when the year -ends the year’s bills are all paid and you take a fresh start for -the next twelve-months’ campaign. - -But a truce to all this. Who expects to make a voyage and encounter -no storms? Who can hope to win a battle without finding that there -are blows to take as well as blows to give? Our Master never -promised us that just now the currents should float in either to -the fulfilment of our task or the attainment of a full salvation; -but forewarning us that in the world we should have great trials -and tribulation, he adds, “Be of good cheer; I have overcome the -world.” - -I conclude with this little extract from a letter just received -from a new helper, Jue Lee, whom we have sent to Oroville: “Now -the school is here first-rate getting on. We have almost thirty -scholars every night, but Mr. Ostrom, [Pastor of the church, W. C. -P.], read the Bible also. I explain China to them. Now I hope God -open their ears to hear; find out this true light soon, and come to -worship same God. But Christ is a faithful Saviour, and will not -forsake those who put their trust in Him. But I, at first, dislike -here; it seem everything so strange to me. Now that I remember what -the Bible says: ‘But the Son of Man hath not where to lay his head’ -[I am content]. Now I hope God give me power to preach and soon -they will be all converted.” - - * * * * * - - - - -WOMAN’S HOME MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION. - -Room 20, Congregational House, Beacon St., Boston. - -MISS NATHALIE LORD, _Secretary_. MISS ABBY W. PEARSON, _Treasurer_. - - * * * * * - - -MONTHLY REPORT. - -This Association has now become a corporate body. A meeting of the -Association to complete the business of incorporation by adopting -the Charter and By-Laws, was held in the chapel of Mt. Vernon -church, on March 30. In spite of the stormy weather the meeting was -a large one. Upon a motion to adopt the Charter, the opposition (to -the so-called “restriction” policy) at once offered an amendment, -to postpone the whole matter of incorporation for a few weeks. A -lively and somewhat lengthy discussion followed, which resulted -in the loss of the amendment and the adoption of the Charter by a -large majority. The debate was renewed over the obnoxious “9th -Article,” and an amendment to strike out the word “Home,” as -defining the work of auxiliaries, was proposed; but this was lost -by a vote of 87 to 30, and the original Article adopted by a vote -of 97 to 15. - -The Association feel that they have reason to rejoice, not only in -the result, but in the whole course of the meeting. It was evident -that the opposition steadily lost ground, while the sentiment that -the policy of the Association thus far has been a wise and fitting -one, made a constant gain. We hope and believe that this is an omen -of the increasing good-will and confidence of Christian people -towards the Association. While we are thankful for the steady -growth of interest and the expressions of that interest in material -aid, we pray and long always for more; and we beg that none of -the friends of the work will remit, or intermit their interest, -but that they will rather redouble their efforts as they see how -the field opens before us, and how good a thing it is to help our -neighbors in this way, and to serve our country and God. - -We give an extract or two from a letter lately received from -Miss Carter, at Nashville, telling us something of how she has -used the contents of her last barrel, and of the working of her -sewing-school. - -“Wednesday evening,” she writes, “I had a reception in my room. The -guests were dirty, ragged, pitiful boys; some of them can read, -some cannot, but all of them are spell-bound by the wonderful -stories of _St. Nicholas_ and _The Youth’s Companion_. If the -children who sent these papers and magazines sacrificed anything -in so doing, may they be blessed for it; they would be could -they see the happy, wondering faces of the children, who almost -reverently turn the pages and spell out the stories.” * * * “I -wish it were possible for you to come into my sewing-school of a -Tuesday evening. At two o’clock the girls assemble—noisy, rough -girls,—racing and laughing they burst into the room where I wait -for them: a room where a family of father, mother and five children -live, one of many, in some old barracks that were used in the -war. We begin with reading of Scripture and a short prayer, and -sometimes the girls sing with their rich, full voices; then we -are all ready for the work, which is sometimes sewing, sometimes -cutting. There is a great deal of commendable rivalry among the -girls as to which shall sew best and fastest, so their tongues run -fast until I silence them with a proposal to read or tell a story. -They are deeply interested in ‘Pilgrim’s Progress,’ and beside we -are having ten minute talks on Physiology, and the care of the -body. The immorality among the women and young girls is something -to make one’s heart ache, and my daily prayer is that I may do -something to turn them to better, purer lives. - -“When a garment is finished, the maker buys it for a trifling sum, -within the means of the poorest. My other school meets Thursdays, -in a school-house, and is conducted on nearly the same plan. - -“Pure hearted Northern girls, with homes where every comfort and -luxury abound, you cannot picture to yourselves the poverty and -degradation of some of these homes where I go daily. Perhaps you -read Dickens and Thackeray with moist eyes, and then, laying -aside the book, comfort yourselves with the thought, ‘Well, after -all there is no Nancy or Bill Sykes. There was never any one so -miserable as ‘little Nell’ or ‘poor Jo;’ never any such frightful -creature as one of these great hearts has wept over and the other -has laughed over.’ But believe me, there _are_ just such; no -novelist’s pen has ever colored too highly possible poverty and -degradation. What would you say, or rather what would you _do_, -were you to enter a cabin where I have been many times? The -first time I ever saw —— she was standing in her door-way on a -snowy, cold day, _her only article of clothing a calico wrapper_. -Within, the one room was as cheerless as a place well could be. In -one corner stood a bedstead with only a dirty husk bed on it, in -another, a table; there were two chairs, neither boasting a seat; -on the table were a few broken dishes, and this list enumerates all -there was in the room, absolutely _all_. This woman lives with a -man many years older than she; he is a brute, and in his drunken -passions beats her; she with one paralyzed and utterly powerless -arm can do nothing to defend herself. Perhaps it is no wonder if -she too, drinks at times, to forget her misery, yet no amount of -persuasion or entreaty will induce her to separate from this man. - -“How can other girls and women be saved? Certainly not by the -efforts of one woman working single-handed among them, not by the -efforts of many such, perhaps; yet possibly by the earnest prayers -of pure hearts, that send help while they still pray.” - -Receipts of the Association from March 1 to March 28, 1881: - - From Auxiliaries $377.63 - Donations 90.95 - Life Members 245.00 - Annual Members 33.00 - ——————— - $746.58 - - -DONATIONS. - -Through Cong.

SAWYER. - -“I never, _never_ can bring myself to do it, Auntie; I know I never -can!” and Claudie’s blue eyes grew so very cloudy that Auntie -thought the rain drops would surely fall. - -“Very well, my darling, you may do as you please,” she said, -cheerily; “but now run out into the sunshine, for I shall be very -busy this morning and you must amuse yourself.” - -That did not seem a hard thing to the little girl, as she wanted to -explore the new home into which she had come for the first time the -night before. How strange everything looked; the blue mountains in -the distance, the cotton fields where women were picking the white -balls into baskets, the little log cabins with their queer mud -chimneys, and the mules shaking their long ears as they drew the -great wagons piled high with snowy cotton bales along the road to -town. From the open window of the great brick building opposite she -could hear the hum of voices, for this was a colored college, and -Claudie’s uncle was one of its Professors. Her mamma had gone to -Heaven a little time before, and this was why she was playing alone -in the Southern sunshine at Auntie Faith’s home. - -But why was she alone? Out under the cedar trees were Pink and -Chloe and little Midge “playing supper” with persimmons and -chincapins, and breaking out now and then into song as naturally -as the mocking-birds themselves. They had viewed Claudie from -afar with round, admiring eyes, reserved the biggest chincapins -for her use, and Pink had even ventured to say “Howdy?” but the -little stranger stood aloof. Not a cross word or a naughty one had -any of the children spoken, and they looked as clean and neat as -Claudie herself would have looked had she been eating very ripe -persimmons as freely as they. Pink’s black eyes were as full of fun -and sparkle as Claudie’s blue ones, and her face as bright, and yet -playing with these children was the very thing Claudie had said she -could never, never do! - -I really don’t like to tell you her reason, she would be so ashamed -of it now. It was just because their merry little faces were -colored _black_ instead of _white_! - -Now Claudie would never have been so foolish if she had not heard -some grown-up people talking after this fashion just before she -left the North: - -“I really don’t see how dear Mrs. Faith, with her refined tastes, -can _live_ among the blacks,” said one. - -“Think of eating at the same table, and actually touching them! -It fairly makes me shiver,” echoed another, who sat with one arm -around a big Newfoundland dog while she fed him with candy. - -And after Mrs. Faith, with tears in her eyes, had told the story -of her work and described her love and respect for her colored -friends, another lady smilingly said: - -“I have enjoyed your talk _so_ much, Mrs. Faith; but I don’t envy -you in the least. I know I couldn’t _endure_ the negroes.” - -Claudie was not old enough to understand that people who talk in -this way are not the best or the wisest or the most refined people, -and so their words influenced her. She was a very sociable little -body, however, and playing alone soon grew dull. It was hot on the -veranda, and, too, indeed, that shady nook under the cedars seemed -the only cool spot in the yard just then, and how cunning little -Midge did look! - - “No second-class on board the train, - No difference in the fare,” - -piped Pink, gleefully, as she set her table with gouber shells for -plates. - -Claudie started. Why, Auntie sung that song once, and she said it -meant that Jesus and the angels loved black people just as well -as white ones, and thought them quite as beautiful. How funny to -forget that! If the little angels would be willing to play with -colored children of course she could, and then those persimmons -were vanishing _so_ fast! - -The next minute a little white-robed maiden was flying through the -rose-garden toward the cedars. - -“Oh, Pink!” she cried, breathlessly, “I never ate a persimmon in -all my life.” - -“We is saving some for you,” answered Pink, as graciously as if her -polite advances had been received at first, “an’ Chloe got some -‘simmon bread an’ Midge brought some goubers.” - -What these new delights were Claudie had no idea, and the -children’s tongues ran faster than ever as they explained. After -the feast came an exploring trip, and under Pink’s guidance the -yard and the adjoining field proved a perfect storehouse of -treasures. - -“’Clare, I done forgot,” she cried, suddenly producing a long -necklace of chincapins, and presenting it shyly to Claudie; “I made -it on purpose for you.” - -“Oh, you splendid Pink!” cried Claudie; “you are the very nicest -little girl I know!” and throwing her arms around her new friend’s -neck she kissed her rapturously. - -Then of course they must play house, with Claudie as the -well-dressed mamma, and then came school and church and everything -else they could think of, till at last, tired out with play, they -threw themselves down in the shade to tell stories. - -“I wonder if Heaven is over yonder by the mountains,” said Claudie, -dreamily; “my mamma is in Heaven, and she has a beautiful white -robe, and a golden crown and a harp!” - -“An’ my mamma is in Hebben, too, an’ she wears a collarette,” -chimed in Chloe with much importance; “but Hebben isn’t on the -mountains; it’s in England!” - -Claudie had just opened her mouth to dispute this remarkable -statement, when Pink took up the argument: - -“Chloe doesn’t know nuffin ’bout it,” she laughed. “She just -thinks that ’cause cousin Emma went to England in a big ship with -a heap of colored people to sing, an’ she said ev’rybody was so -good it seemed just like Heaven, and nobody seemed to notice that -they weren’t as white as anybody, an’ she saw the queen, an’ she -went to dinner with white folks in splendid big houses, an’ a white -gen’leman took her out to dinner hisself, an’ treated her ’zactly -like a white lady; an’ she says, ‘’magine me in Washington an’ -Gene’l Sherman taking me out to dinner!’” - -Pink stopped breathless. - -“But she did say it were sure ’nuff Hebben dere! You didn’t tell it -all, Pink Symond,” persisted Chloe, indignantly. - -“Yes,” said Pink, more soberly, “she _did_ say that when they came -home an’ she had to ride in smoking cars, an’ couldn’t go to table -with white folks at hotels, an’ was treated just like we all are, -she thought England must be Heaven sure enough, ’cause everybody -says this is the freest country outside of Heaven!” - -Just then this theological discussion was ended by the sound of the -dinner-bells, and Pink and Claudie, with arms lovingly around each -other, walked slowly toward the house. - -“Of such is the kingdom of Heaven,” murmured Uncle Faith as he -watched them from his study window, and the tired look on his -face faded away and something came instead that made Claudie say -wonderingly— - -“Oh, Uncle Faith, you look like—like the apostle John!” - -“I think Pink is perfectly beautiful, Auntie,” whispered Claudie at -her bedtime talk that night, “and I do wish those ladies at home -could see her. You know, Auntie”—the fair face flushing—“I was so -ignorant ’bout the colored people this morning, and I didn’t know -any better, and I s’pose that’s just the way with those ladies. -Isn’t there some way we could tell them, Auntie, that the colored -people are just like us, and that they don’t seem so very colored -after all?” - - * * * * * - - - - -RECEIPTS - -FOR MARCH, 1881. - - * * * * * - - - MAINE, $131.43. - - Augusta.

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.C., 2; Ga., 13; -Ky., 6; Tenn., 4; Ala., 14; La., 17; Miss., 4; Texas, 6. _Africa_, -2. _Among the Indians_, 1.

M. A., was -dedicated on the evening of March 12th. (See picture on opposite -page.) The history of the house and the services of dedication are -of sufficient interest to warrant a notice in these pages.</p> -</div> - -<p>Something like a year ago, a gentleman who signed himself -“<em>Howard</em>,” and whose real name was only known at the Boston -office, gave $3,000 to build the house. Rev. D. D. Dodge, our -Superintendent at Wilmington, was charged with the duty of securing -a site, of procuring plans and estimates, and of building the house -within the sum appropriated. This work Mr. Dodge duly undertook, -intending to build of wood, but, after the foundations were laid -and the frame was up, “Howard” signified his wish to have the frame -“jacketed” with brick, and for that purpose added $600 more to his -donation, thus making the entire coat $3,600.</p> - -<p>The house will seat 450 people, is 72 feet in length by 36 in -width, and measures 22 feet in the clear. It has a corner tower -rising 100 feet from the street below, and is the highest object in -the city, and the first seen on approaching the city from the Sound.</p> - -<p>The brick is of a deep red, and, though not pressed, looks as if -it were. The proportions of the building could not well be more -perfect or more pleasing to the eye. Both the local press and -the people speak of it as an ornament to the city, and express -surprise that it could have been built for a sum less than eight -or ten thousand dollars. It should be said, however, that all the -parties on the ground of whom the material was bought, sold at -the lowest rates; those furnishing the lumber, sashes, doors and -iron, throwing off the entire local profit; and Mr. Barstow, of -Providence, R.I., 65 per cent. from the two furnaces to heat the -house. Mr. Dodge, also, gave his time to the work; and Mr. Weston, -of Nashua, N.H., who laid the brick, a part of his. This will -account in part for so fine a building at so moderate an outlay -of money. A large, dry and light cellar extends under the whole -building, which will furnish needed room for storing coal, wood, -&c., for the mission.</p> - -<p><a class="pagenum" name="Page_130" id="Page_130">[130]</a></p> - -<p>The services of dedication occurred in the following order: 1. -Anthem, by the Choir. 2. Prayer, by Rev. Mr. Dodge. 3. Reading of -the Scriptures, by Rev. Dr. Taylor, of the First Baptist (white) -Church of the city. 4. Singing. 5. Sermon, by Rev. C. L. Woodworth, -from Luke xiv. 23. 6. Dedicatory Prayer, by Rev. Dr. Wilson, of the -First Presbyterian Church (white).</p> - -<p>After the dedication proper, “<em>Howard</em>”—who turns out to be the -Hon. James J. H. Gregory, of Marblehead, Mass.—was introduced as -the giver of the house. In an address full of feeling and of good -sense he offered the salutations and the fellowship of the Northern -Congregational Churches. Drs. Wilson and Taylor followed with words -of kindly greeting, and assurances of sympathy and co-operation -from their respective churches: the former slyly saying that -the only thing he wished different was that the church was -Presbyterian, and the latter responding that the thing he wished -different was that the church was Baptist. Two others, laymen, -spoke from the floor in a similar strain. The addresses were, in -every sense, genial and hearty.</p> - -<p>The house was entirely filled, and among the audience were forty or -fifty of the best white citizens of the city, all of whom showed -interest and some of whom expressed warm sympathy.</p> - -<p>Thus ended a scene in which Christian feeling and fellowship seemed -to have conquered prejudices and differences on all sides, and -the workers from the North and from the South clasped hands in -fraternal regard, and pledged each other hearty good will.</p> - -<p>As growing out of this, and, perhaps, a happy finale, it may be -of interest to say that Dr. Taylor very cordially invited Mr. -Woodworth to preach in his pulpit the next Sabbath morning. The -offer was accepted, and the occasion proved one of great pleasure -to the speaker, and, if judged by the greetings at the close, not -less so to the large audience which listened.</p> - -<p>At the proper time we shall take occasion to state the further -good which Mr. Gregory intends for the “Christ Church Mission” at -Wilmington.</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>On the 27th ult., Secretary Strieby presented the cause of this -Association in Dr. R. S. Storrs’ church, Brooklyn, N.Y., and -after a full and earnest endorsement by the pastor, a collection -was taken, amounting to $3,200, one gentleman giving $2,500 of the -amount. On the same Sabbath, Dr. Wm. M. Taylor, of the Broadway -Tabernacle, New York, presented our cause with his usual marked -ability, and his appeal was followed by a contribution of $1,500, -an increase of about fifty per cent, over last year’s donations -to the same object. In connection with the many good words that -have been recently uttered in behalf of Christian education at -the South, it is exceedingly cheering to record such reports of -increased interest and liberality. Shall we not have many more to -follow?</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>We have alluded repeatedly to the unanimity now prevalent as to -the remedy for the radical troubles in the South—the education of -the Freedmen. President Garfield’s message sets it forth again in -forcible terms. But ever since Gen. Grant’s military policy became -intolerable to the South and a weariness to the North, and was -abandoned by President Hayes, the conviction that moral and not -military forces are needed has deepened, and has found distinct -utterance by representative men in all sections of the country. -President Hayes, in his address to his comrades in arms at Canton, -O., and Senator Brown of Georgia, in his<a class="pagenum" name="Page_131" id="Page_131">[131]</a> speech in the Senate, -may stand as the exponents of the two sections of the country and -the two political parties on that subject, while Dr. Ruffner, -Superintendent of Public Instruction of Virginia and Rev. Dr. -Haygood of the M. E. Church South, may represent two influential -States in the South, and two great religious denominations. The -popularity of Judge Tourgee’s book at the North, in which the same -thought is fully and eloquently set forth, may be taken as another -evidence of the views held here.</p> - -<p>The thing that remains, as Paul says, is to “<em>perform the doing -of it</em>.” President Garfield refers not only to the duty of the -national and State governments, but also to “volunteer forces” -in the great work. To these with churches in the South must be -committed the essential <em>Christian</em> efforts—which neither the -general nor State authorities can do.</p> - -<p>It is all-important that the nation should not content itself with -the simple utterances of these noble declarations. Good people, -patriotic people should act, and act promptly and liberally. We -exhort our patrons earnestly to step forth, not spasmodically, -but to inaugurate regular and enlarged measures of assistance. To -this end we venture to suggest regular and steadily increasing -collections in the churches with favorable seasons in the year -for taking them, and that individuals feel more their personal -responsibility in the case and that by liberal gifts in life, -and by remembering the cause in their wills they provide for the -pressing work of the age, and for its progress after they have -passed away.</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>We are indebted to Dr. L. T. Chamberlain, of Norwich, Conn., for -a copy of a valuable missionary concert exercise prepared for the -use of his church and Sabbath-schools. The exercise is separated -into three divisions, each of which forms a series of responsive -readings. 1. Responsive Scripture readings. 2. Statements of the -object of the concert—missions and the world’s conversion. 3. -Missionary agencies. Under this latter division is outlined a -series of questions and answers showing the work carried on by -the American Home Missionary Society, the American Missionary -Association and the American Board. We commend this missionary -concert exercise as suitable for general use, and eminently -fitted to bring the Sabbath-schools especially into more intimate -relations with the work of our great missionary societies.</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>The New York, Madeira and West Coast of Africa Steamship Company, -which has been recently projected, is likely to be of much service, -both to commerce and to Christian missions. The names of the -incorporators include those of Wm. E. Dodge, John D. Fish, Joseph -W. Yates, Robert Porterfield, and other well-known capitalists. -These gentlemen have both the means and the experience requisite, -and we have a right to conclude that the company will have its -ships ready for service at an early day. The capital stock is -$100,000, with a proviso allowing an increase of capital to -$4,000,000, and the company is to continue for twenty years. The -President, Mr. James W. Yates, of the firm of Yates & Porterfield, -has been for years engaged in the West African Trade, and the -missionaries of this Association have frequently passed on their -way to and from our Mendi Mission in his vessels.</p> - -<p>The recent impulse that has been given to commerce by the activity -in promoting internal improvements, such as telegraph and railway -systems, from the mouth of the Gambia to the Niger, together with -the rapid development of industries,<a class="pagenum" name="Page_132" id="Page_132">[132]</a> especially those pertaining -to gold mining, the production of palm oil, and the culture of -coffee, give promise of large trade between New York and this -portion of Africa. The number of missionaries, as well as the -number of colonists for Liberia and elsewhere, will be sure to -multiply with the increase of wealth among the colored people of -America, and the improved facilities for reaching the land of their -fathers.</p> - -<p>We regard this enterprise as auspicious, and one of the many -providential events looking toward the early evangelization of the -vast tribes of people in Central Africa. May God speed this new -steamship company in His own good way!</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>We have seen the report of the Fourteenth Street Presbyterian -Sabbath-school of this city, which is at once suggestive and -most encouraging as to what may be done in the way of systematic -giving. The Creed of the school, if heartily accepted, would secure -such results in all our Sabbath-schools and churches. This Creed -contains the following articles:</p> - -<p><em>We believe</em>, I. That every one should help others to the Gospel.</p> - -<p>II. That every one should <em>help as much as he can</em>.</p> - -<p>III. That every one should find this work for others blessed and -helpful to himself.</p> - -<p>Three rules are drawn from this Creed:</p> - -<table style="margin-left: 5%;"> - <tr><td> </td><td>{ I. Regularly each Lord’s day.</td></tr> - <tr><td>We will give:</td><td>{ II. Consecutively, according to our ability.</td></tr> - <tr><td> </td><td>{III. Joyfully, because a privilege and blessing to ourselves.</td></tr> -</table> - -<p>The result has been that in the intermediate and senior -departments, 31 classes made 8,037 out of a possible 8,070 -offerings; that is, there were only 33 failures to keep the whole -number of promises made for the year, though because of vacation, -sickness, etc., there were 2,004 absences from school.</p> - -<p>In the infant department, 11 classes brought 3,355 out of 3,403 -offerings promised for the year; that is, there were only 48 -failures.</p> - -<p>The average attendance in the main room was 201–3/4, of whom -200-37/40 brought their offerings.</p> - -<p>The average in the infant department was 85–3/40 of whom 83–7/8 -brought their offerings.</p> - -<p>If this same conscientious regularity could be secured in all our -churches and Sabbath-schools, the work of the A.

BLAIKIE’S LIFE OF LIVINGSTONE.</h3> - -<p>This volume, published by Harper Bros., is a book of extraordinary -interest. In it two great and good minds meet and yield practical -thought and valuable instruction. They also give us a rare -combination of wise and spiritual truths, calculated to fill the -soul of the reader with great aspirations for a richer experience -in things that pertain to Christ’s kingdom. If the book were read -by Christians everywhere the effect could scarcely be less than -a reformation. It is what is needed, under God, to counteract -the flood of secular things that evermore threaten to quench the -missionary spirit in the hearts of believers. The consecration, -perseverance, enterprise, skill, heroism, fidelity and charity -of Livingstone’s life are dwelt upon by Dr. Blaikie with such -grateful emotions as prompt him to say<a class="pagenum" name="Page_133" id="Page_133">[133]</a>—“The author could wish -for no higher honor than to have his name associated with that -of Livingstone, and can desire no greater pleasure than that of -conveying to other minds the impressions that have been left on his -own.”</p> - -<p>Among the many favorable impressions made by this book are -those that relate to Livingstone’s superb faith. This was quite -discoverable in his early life. Talking with his father—“They -agreed that the time would come when rich men and great men would -think it an honor to support whole stations of missionaries instead -of spending their money on hounds and horses.” When he became great -and moderately rich, he illustrated his own faith by his gifts for -missions, and his devotion to the success of the laborers who went -forth at his instance. All this flowed naturally from his life-long -purpose. “I will place no value on anything I have or may possess, -except in relation to the kingdom of Christ.”</p> - -<p>Upon this followed his exquisite trust for Divine protection. “If -God has accepted my service, then my life is charmed till my work -is done.” But his faith and works were rounded out by all that was -needful to make them complete. “It was in front and not in the rear -that he expected to find the pillar of cloud and the pillar of -fire,” and it was unto the Lord of Hosts he looked for victory, and -unto Him his prayer ascended unceasingly: “O, Almighty God, help -and leave not this wicked people to the slave-dealer and Satan!”</p> - -<p>He not only kept at work answering his own prayer, but was given -to see, as he thought, how all things were working together -for the wished-for consummation. “Viewed in relation to my -calling,” he says, “the end of the geographical feat is only -the beginning of the enterprise. We are all engaged in very -much the same cause—geographers, astronomers and mechanicians -laboring to make men better acquainted with each other—promoters -of Niger expeditions, soldiers fighting for right against -oppression, and sailors rescuing captives in deadly climes, as -well as missionaries, are all aiding in hastening on a glorious -consummation to all God’s dealings with our race. In the hope that -I may yet be honored to do some good to this poor long down-trodden -Africa, the gentlemen over whom you have the honor to preside, -will, I believe, cordially join.”</p> - -<p>That the millions who are interested in the negro race may -“cordially join” in the endeavors promoted by this man for “poor -down-trodden Africa,” is our most earnest wish, and, with this in -view, we heartily welcome and commend Dr. Blaikie’s book.</p> -</div> - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<div class="article"> -<h3>WHAT THE SOUTHERNERS ARE BEGINNING TO THINK.</h3> - -<p>The following extracts taken from an editorial which appeared -in the <cite>Memphis Daily Appeal</cite>, March 18th, contain so much true -appreciation of what ought to be done for the Negro under the -circumstances, that we are glad to give them a place in our -columns. We believe they indicate that the South is on the eve of a -great revolution of sentiment respecting the importance of popular -education, and that if the friends of the A. M. A. will assist us -in pushing forward with our present and proposed work, the time -will come speedily when the recognition of the vital importance of -our principles and institutions will be well nigh universal.</p> - -<p>After commenting upon an article which appeared in the <cite>North -American Review</cite> from the pen of Chief Justice Chalmers, quoting -from him the assertion that the negroes’ “right to vote as a race -is as fixed and irreversible as their freedom,” and that “the -ballot box must speak the unbiased verdict of all lawful electors,” -the editor says: “No sane man doubts it; there is but one thing -left<a class="pagenum" name="Page_134" id="Page_134">[134]</a> for the people of the South to do, and that is to throw -themselves into the work of educating the negro, of lifting him -out of the deplorable condition of brutality which slavery left -him in, and elevating him to a plane where he can not only stand -alone and see for himself, but where he can not be reached by the -arts of demagogues, of which, unfortunately for the country, there -are too many in all parties. In this work, a man of culture, like -Judge Chalmers, can do a great deal. He can by personal example -induce the leading men of his State to come to the front as eager -defenders of a thorough system of public education. They have, as -most of those of the other Southern States have done, too long -stood aloof and allowed the stranger to do for the negro what they -should have done themselves as willing workers, instead of making -mouths at a fate which after fifteen years of effort they find is -superior to anything they can put forward against it.</p> - -<p>“Thirteen years ago the Jackson <cite>Clarion</cite> warned the people of -Mississippi, as the leading papers of the South everywhere did, -that ‘there was but one way out of the wilderness, and that was -as plain as the road to market. It was to recognize the rights -the Federal Government had bestowed upon the negro; to treat him -kindly, and to point him the way he should go.’ This plan was not -generally pursued. But it is never too late to mend. We can begin -now the work that should have been done in 1867. We can rescue the -negro from the ignorance that threatens him and us by establishing -good public schools—not grudgingly, as if we were conferring an -unwilling charity—but in a broad, cheerful, earnest and good -neighborly spirit, as if we were performing a duty—a paramount -and most important duty. Under God this is the only remedy for -negro suffrage. It is a waste of time to talk of abridging it. -Revolutions never go backward. The best answer to that sort of talk -is that the United States never were so strong or so prosperous -as they are at this moment, when public sentiment is in all the -States demanding the most absolute assertion of democratic life -and living. Instead of looking back, we must look forward; nay, we -must go forward, and we must take the negro by the hand and make -him feel that he is a part of the great column of the people; that -his destiny is interlaced with ours; that we must not stand apart, -isolated and at enmity, but go forward, each doing what he can to -strengthen the community at all points, moral and physical, to -uphold and defend our democratic form of government and perpetuate -unsullied the liberties which have survived the chaos of civil war -and reconstruction.”</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>We are glad to add to the other testimonials from able and -intelligent Southerners, a few words from the remarkable -Thanksgiving Sermon of Rev. Atticus G. Haygood, D.D., President of -Emery College, Oxford, Ga.:</p> - -<p>“There is a vast mass of illiteracy among us. There is white as -well as black illiteracy. There are multiplied thousands who can -neither read nor write. They must be taught.</p> - -<p>“Let us wake up to our want of educational facilities. Our -public-school system is painfully inadequate. Our colleges and -universities are unendowed, and they struggle against fearful odds -in their efforts to do their work. We are one hundred years behind -the Eastern and Middle States. We are also behind many of the new -States of the West.</p> - -<p>“For the negroes themselves. * * * * Much depends on those who, -under God, set them free. By every token this whole nation should -undertake the problem of their education. That problem will have -to be worked out on the <span><a class="pagenum" name="Page_135" id="Page_135">[135]</a></span>basis of co-operation; that is, they must -be helped to help themselves. To make their education an absolute -gratuity will perpetuate many of the misconceptions and weaknesses -of character which now embarrass and hinder their progress. Much -also depends upon the Southern white people, their sympathy, their -justice, their wise and helpful co-operation. This we should give -them, not reluctantly, but gladly, for their good and for the -safety of all, for their elevation and for the glory of God.”</p> -</div> - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<div class="article"> -<h3>BENEFACTIONS.</h3> - -<p>Three Israelites in Germany devoted 1,400,000 marks to charitable -purposes without distinction of faith.</p> - -<p>Mr. J.

Scorning to waste their precious substance in -the cellars, and attics, and barns of a region already over-stocked -by their orchard companions, they resolved to put themselves -where they would do the most good. So by the aid of willing hands -and generous hearts they found their way into eighty good-sized -barrels, a goodly half thousand in each barrel. Rail-cars and -steamers brought them to the sunny South, and they were soon -provided with ample accommodations in one of the basements of -Atlanta University.</p> - -<p>It must be confessed that when the barrels were opened some of -the apples had a very green appearance, as though they had never -been on a mission before; while others of them were blushing -violently, as if greatly agitated by the responsibilities of their -new vocation. Subsequent acquaintance, however, proved that these -indications of weakness were wholly upon the surface, and that, -with the exception of a very few who had been suffering from their -long journey, the new comers were sound to the core and fully -prepared for missionary service.</p> - -<p>This service, it must be added, was one which called for nerve -on the part<a class="pagenum" name="Page_139" id="Page_139">[139]</a> of the missionary recruits in proportion to their -realizing sense of what they were coming to. Many times companies -of two hundred each were summoned from the barrels and placed in -long picket lines around the edges of a dozen large dining tables, -one standing guard at each plate. But scarcely had this been done -when two hundred hungry boys and girls and missionary teachers -appeared upon the scene, and, after bestowing upon the red and -green sentinels many a complacent smile through a long meal of meat -and vegetables, finally attacked them with six thousand (more or -less) sharp ivory weapons, and subjected them to that fate which -other missionaries are said to have suffered among the Cannibal -Islands. Others, after being flayed, drawn and quartered, were -placed in boiling cauldrons, and their indistinguishable remains -were afterwards served up on the same tables in sauce dishes or -concealed under the crust of pies.</p> - -<p>Yet these missionaries of Pomona uttered no complaint, but met -their fate with a calmness that was beautiful to behold. All honor -to the forty thousand! What a host it was! If taken to the capital -of their native state and strung together, they would have made a -festoon stretching from the State house dome to the apex of Bunker -Hill monument! Many, many thanks to our generous friends.</p> - -<p class="right smcap">All of us.</p> -</div> -<hr class="chap" /> - -<div class="article"> -<h4>Twenty-eight New Disciples.</h4> - -<p class="secauth">MISS JULIA GOODWIN, ATLANTA.</p> - -<div class="poem"><div class="stanza"> -<span class="i0">“Sweet day, so cool, so calm, so clear!<br /></span> -<span class="i0">Bridal of earth and sky.”<br /></span> -</div></div> - -<p>These beautiful lines of the sainted Herbert well describe that -bright day in March, a day in which to breathe its delicious air -was a luxury; a day in which our hearts were lifted up in unison -with all things in Nature; a day long to be remembered as a golden -one in the history of this band of Christ’s followers.</p> - -<p>As we entered the audience room, going from the clear sunshine -without into the subdued light of the sanctuary, we found it filled -to its utmost capacity, and over all seemed to reign a holy calm. -Before the altar sat thirty who waited to be made one with this -fold, (twenty-eight by profession, two by letter). Waiting to -welcome these and to assist in the sacred rites of the hour were -Rev. Messrs. Hawley, Francis, and Beaman, and Dr. Roy. After the -singing of hymns, reading of Scripture and prayer, and the pastor -had spoken fitting words of welcome, admonition and encouragement, -those who had not already received the rite, one after another, -kneeled before the altar for baptism. The hush of solemn stillness -added to the impressiveness of the simple ceremony. Then in the -freshness of their love the twenty-eight new disciples stood and -took the vows of God upon them, while Christian hearts rejoiced; -and may we not believe that angels bent to hear, and carry the -news to Heaven of young hearts renouncing the world and pledging -allegiance to the King of kings? God grant that each one may be -found “faithful unto death.”</p> - -<p>The emblems were blessed, the bread was broken, the wine poured, -the invitation given, “eat ye all of it.” Interesting and touching -reminiscences were indulged in, often with much tenderness of -feeling. The heart-hymn, “My faith looks up to Thee,” every line of -which breathes a prayer, ascended in its wedded tune of Olivet. The -benediction was said; the service was over.</p> - -<p>Thus we tell you of the first ingathering of sheaves from the -harvest not yet fully garnered. Silently, as God’s greatest -blessings always come, this favor has come to us. Seed scattered -through many years by loving hands has, all unnoticed, been -springing up. Sowing, pruning, digging about, preparing the ground -to receive the watering of Divine mercy, has not been in vain. In -answer to fervent, long-continued prayer, not<a class="pagenum" name="Page_140" id="Page_140">[140]</a> with boisterous -storm or rush of wind, but gently, the rich showers of blessing -fell, “Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, saith the -Lord.”</p> - -<p>The awakening began in our day-school. Much seriousness seemed -manifest during the week of prayer, when daily after-school -meetings were held, and in connection with the labors of Mr. and -Mrs. H. E. Brown, a few weeks later, in many hearts a settled -purpose to serve the Lord found expression. The church and school, -like twin-born sisters, go hand in hand. One can not be troubled -and the other be unaffected; one cannot be blessed and the other -remain unmoved. The work of grace went on, making the Sunday-school -and all church services solemn seasons. Each night the place of -prayer was crowded, many anxious to know the way of life or avowing -their purpose to live for Christ, sometimes struggling through days -of darkness to find the clear light from the sun of righteousness -just beyond. Sweet always will be the remembrance of a morning -greeting from a bright-faced girl of fourteen, as she waited at -the school-yard gate. Her beaming countenance told the story even -before the lips, which quickly uttered the glad words, “<em>I</em> have -found Christ at last! He has forgiven my sins!”</p> - -<p>Some among those who seemed the stoutest-hearted were the first to -submit to Christ, while sadly we look upon others, who remind us of -the young man whom Jesus loved, who seemed near the kingdom and yet -took no step nearer.</p> - -<p>The joy it gives every new-born soul to welcome one after another -to their newly-formed ranks has been beautiful to behold. A hopeful -sign is that everyone seemed so ready, nay, so eager, to do some -service in showing to others the path in which their own feet had -just begun to tread. All love the place of prayer, and often spend -the half-hour recess at noon in a prayer-meeting by themselves in -the small library up-stairs. Some of tender years are as thoughtful -in face and manner as the oldest ones. One in telling of her -new-found love said, “I felt that I loved everybody, and if my arms -had been large enough I thought I would like to take in the whole -world;” and with eyes and voice full of tears, she begged prayers -for her father, who had said, when she urged him to come to Christ, -“I am too old.”</p> - -<p>Just as in days gone by, many benighted ones outside of us believe -that “gettin’ religion” consists in the seeing of visions and the -dreaming of dreams, and those who have been taught the truth in our -Sunday-school are often interrogated; “How far did you go?” “What -did you see in your travels?” “How long did you stay in torment?” -and when they have no answer but the unvarying one, “We are -trying to do Christ’s commands,” they are taunted with “You’re no -Christian!” “Bible religion ain’t no religion.” Yet they show only -a feeling of pity for such ignorant ones.</p> - -<p>There is still among us a spirit of inquiry. At our usual Monday -after-school prayer-meeting many said, “Pray for us!”</p> - -<p>Through all there seems to underlie a current of earnestness and -desire for holier living in God’s children, and more, much more we -crave of willingness and strength, that so we may—</p> - - <div class="poem"> - <div class="stanza"> - <span class="i0">“Joy to find in every station<br /></span> - <span class="i2">Something still to do or bear.”<br /></span> - </div> - </div> -</div> -<hr class="chap" /> - -<div class="article"> -<h3>ALABAMA.</h3> - -<h4>Temperance—First Impression—First Fruits.</h4> - -<p class="secauth">REV. A. W CURTIS, MARION.</p> - -<p>The temperance agitation here has not been without fruit. A monster -petition was sent to the Legislature, praying for prohibition, and -a law was passed prohibiting all traffic in intoxicating drinks -within five miles’ radius of the court house. The word <em>Bar</em>, -printed prominently<a class="pagenum" name="Page_141" id="Page_141">[141]</a> over several places of common resort, has -found at last its legitimate meaning—to bar out all drinkers. -Everything is very quiet, and it seems probable that a great crowd -of loafers will have to go five miles for their liquor or reform. -One man died from over-drinking the last night of open traffic. Yet -another loud lecture on temperance was given us a few weeks ago. An -old colored man, going home late Saturday night, intoxicated, fell -about eight feet into a gully and broke his neck. The effect of the -new law upon the colored people has proved very salutary.</p> - -<p>Knowing that this people have little opportunity for finding out -the news, I have adopted the plan of giving a brief resumé, such -as will afford them some idea of the world’s progress in all the -great reforms of the day, at the opening of our Sabbath evening -service. It works well, if intense eagerness in listening is a fair -indication.</p> - -<p>My first impression of this people,—Sabbath, January 2d—was that -a very large infusion of white blood and brains was represented in -my audience, and it was very hard to think that most of them had -been slaves. The next was one of respect for my predecessors, as I -noted their readiness and precision in responsive reading; though -I afterwards saw that many of the older ones did not read—could -not, as it proved. You may imagine with what delight some of these -listened to President Garfield’s inaugural address as I read it, -when it came, to such as happened to be within easy reach. Our -work here has been full of encouragement. The attendance is never -large, as compared with the other churches, but good interest has -been manifest from the very first. We moved here January 17th, and -at once revived the meetings at “The Home” for the ladies, the -children and young people, Mrs. C. taking charge, with the one aim -from the first of winning their hearts to Christ. As many as forty -young people have been present at some of her Sunday evening and -3 <span class="smcap lowercase">P.M.</span> meetings, and at the close frequently several of -these would ask leave to stay and talk personally about becoming -Christians. Of course, we were soon obliged to have special -meetings, and have just closed a session of 17 nights’ consecutive -preaching. The Holy Spirit has been working in many hearts. -The church has been greatly revived. <em>All</em> the Sunday-school -children—not already members—have been forward for prayer, and -many others in the community, quite a number converted, and more -awakened who will probably go to the Baptists, who started a -“revival” the second week of our meeting and are still continuing -with great excitement, and I hope real good results. Not a small -part of our work is to stir up the other churches, for which let -us thank God and take courage. Last Sabbath we received ten of the -first fruits on profession of their faith in Jesus. Nearly every -one of our Sabbath-school now think they are Christians. Oh, for -more to come into our Sabbath-school! Pray that the good work may -go on.</p> -</div> -<hr class="chap" /> - -<div class="article"> -<h3>LOUISIANA.</h3> - -<h4>Examination of the Law Department at Straight University.</h4> - -<p>It was my pleasure to fall in upon the Straight University at the -time of the annual examination in its Law Department. The exercises -came off at the office of the Dean of the Law Faculty, Judge Alfred -Shaw. There were present, also, the three other Professors, J. C. -Walker, Esq., and Honorables M. M. Cohen and R. T. Posey, and Dr. -W. S. Alexander, President of the University. Eight young men were -examined for graduation, one of whom, J. B. Gaudet, was colored. -Pres. Alexander, leading off in general questions, each of the -Professors followed in the line of his department. The young men -had taken the two courses of lectures and had read<a class="pagenum" name="Page_142" id="Page_142">[142]</a> law in private, -or under preceptors. All were approved. By the laws of Louisiana, -graduation from this Institution admits at the Bar for practice. -The State University’s Law Department has the same prerogative. -So fades out the color line. Our institutions are color-blind. -Brains and culture stand on their own merit. The accomplished white -law-lecturers and the bright white students receive the colored -aspirant lawyers on the basis of citizenship and scholarship. -Simon Cameron repeats at the North, after a tour of the South, -“the picked-up notion of ‘over-education’ among the blacks, the -same, of whom awhile ago it was said that they could not take on -the higher education. But how would the Pennsylvania statesman -have these sable attorneys prepared for their profession and for -the competition of life and business? Does it not come with an ill -grace that a man who has himself risen from humble position, should -rule down these Africo-Americans to an education that would simply -fit them for good servants?” Of the twenty-five graduates of this -Law Department, seven are colored, and they are making their way -successfully in the Courts. Of the nineteen students now in the -course, five are colored. One is the pastor of the English Lutheran -Church of the city, a former graduate of a Pennsylvania College, -and of Princeton Seminary.</p> -</div> -<hr class="full" /> - -<div class="article"> -<h2>AFRICA.</h2> - -<hr class="chap" /> - - -<h3>Off for Africa.</h3> - -<p class="secauth">BY REV. HENRY M. LADD.</p> - -<p>It does not seem possible that anyone could ever have crossed the -Atlantic, followed by more prayers and good wishes, than attended -and do, we believe, still attend us.</p> - -<p>Our good steamer, the “City of Berlin,” though advertised to sail -from New York on the twelfth of February, did not leave till the -thirteenth. We met on board, quite unexpectedly, some old college -friends, who were bound for a trip in Europe, and we were therefore -soon at home, surrounded by the most congenial society.</p> - -<p>On the twenty-first we sighted the bold headlands of Cape Clear, -and in the evening we were reading the latest news from London. -Having arrived safely in Liverpool, and Mr. and Mrs. Kemp, colored -missionaries for the Mendi Mission, reaching the same place a few -days later, we were obliged to wait there a week for an African -steamer; but the time was well employed in some preliminary -business in London and elsewhere, with reference to the proposed -new mission in the Nile basin. We had the pleasure of a short but -interesting visit with Rev. O. H. White, D.D., the earnest and -efficient secretary of the Freedman’s Missions Aid Society, who has -done so much to interest our English and Scotch friends in the work -of the American Missionary Association. We also called on Robert -Arthington, Esq., of Leeds, whose munificent generosity has made -possible the opening of the new mission near the head-waters of -the Nile, which is to be distinguished by his name. He received us -very kindly, and with outspread map before us, we spent a pleasant -afternoon together, discussing plans and hopes for the opening -of the work next fall, which now seems to promise so well. On -Saturday, March 5th, we embarked on board the steamship “Mayumba,” -for Africa, and our voyage has been a delightful one ever since. -The same steamer had on board two hundred tons of gunpowder for -the slaughter of the natives. Like the vessel that carried out rum -and missionaries to Turkey, this was carrying powder to kill the -Africans, while we were going for their peace and healing. Yet we -would rather a thousand times go<a class="pagenum" name="Page_143" id="Page_143">[143]</a> with the powder than with the -rum; for the former, horrid as is the art of war, has in the hands -of the English made a way in the wilderness for the heralds of the -Cross, while the latter has been and always will be an unmitigated -curse.</p> - -<p>But the cloud is beginning to lift. We believe that there is a -bright and cheering history of African missions yet to be written. -The five millions of reserve force, now drilling in America for the -final victory, are yet to be called out, and they will come to the -rescue. They are already on the move. These educated freemen have -developed already many of the proper qualifications for the work. -We must expect failures and disappointments at first from those so -recently in the degradation of slavery, but we believe theirs is -the work, and they will yet do it, and do it grandly, too. With a -holy enthusiasm they are coming by degrees more fully to appreciate -the fact that Africa is their true field of labor—even as this -excellent colored brother and his wife, who are going out with me, -say they would rather die for their degraded brethren in Africa, -than live in Christian America. As, therefore, we approach the -shores of Africa, to enlarge and carry forward this work, I feel -that we are now moving in the line of God’s appointment, and that -success must ultimately crown our efforts. In this very steamer are -those going out in Her Majesty’s service to conquer the rebellious -tribes along this same west coast. Shall we, who are the soldiers -of the Lord of Hosts, the King of kings, have less enthusiasm and -courage in conquering these same tribes with the sword of the -Spirit and in the bonds of peace?</p> - -<p class="right"><span class="smcap">Teneriffe</span>, March 15th.</p> - -<p>I am happy to report our safe arrival at this point on our -journey. We have had a very pleasant voyage thus far, and have -been remarkably well. Mr. and Mrs. Kemp are in excellent health -and spirits. I think we may hope much from them. I have learned to -esteem them very highly. Last Sabbath we touched at Madeira, and -were met on board by Mr. Smart, agent for the “Missions to Seamen -Society,” who very kindly invited us to his house to breakfast and -dinner. There we met Mrs. Godman, of the Wesleyan Mission at Sierra -Leone, who was much broken down in health. These kind friends -showed us every attention possible, and we came away feeling that -we had had a day of great spiritual as well as physical refreshing. -I was much pleased with what little I saw of the place.

I say to myself: -“How well the churches are doing! How happy all these ministers -must be! How little they have to annoy, to worry, to depress! How -much to make them glad and even jubilant!” Yet, a few days pass, and -possibly one<a class="pagenum" name="Page_144" id="Page_144">[144]</a> of these very ministers knocks at my study door, to -talk over, confidentially, the pains, the difficulties, the heavy -burdens of his work; a root of bitterness which he has tried in -vain to remove, now springing up to trouble him; finances going all -awry; sad cases calling for discipline,—the duty imperative, and -the church, though stung to the quick with a sense of its dishonor, -too timid to come up to its task. Of course, such things ought not -to go into the papers nor any other but the good and glad things. -We can make others sharers of our joys, but we shrink from asking -them to bear, with us, our pains.</p> - -<p>“Well, that is all right,” I say to myself, and so it is. And -yet those who sustain a missionary work have a <em>right</em> to see -it on <em>all</em> sides. God be thanked that I have had so much to -report that was cheery, stimulating, hopeful; so little that was -otherwise. I wonder if our friends and helpers—readers of the -<cite>Missionary</cite>—think that, like the harvest fields of California, so -our Gospel work is bathed in perpetual sunshine? or do they know -that here, too, we have our darkened skies, our tempests untimely, -our frosts premature?</p> - -<p>“Well, it won’t hurt them if they don’t see the shady side,” I say -to myself again.</p> - -<p>“Yes, but am I <em>truthful</em> in the matter?” I reply, and so even -conscience puts me up to make a gentle growl. There is nothing very -bad to growl about; no more probably than I need; far less than I -deserve; but there is something, almost always, on which if one -allowed himself to brood, he could soon get up steam to scold hard. -And I am not thinking just here of the greater trials of our work, -as when some riotous outburst of anti-Chinese prejudice sends these -people at sunset to their several retreats, and seems, for the -time, to knock our schools prostrate; nor of the sore trials from -false brethren among our Chinese Christians—starting discords in -the little flocks—or by their vile conduct bringing reproach on -the Gospel that they have proclaimed. Those things, I am grateful -to say, belong to years past; and, besides, we don’t growl at the -great trials—it is the comparatively little things that put us in -a scolding mood.</p> - -<p>For instance: here is a teacher who has done well—been faithful, -skilful and successful; has won the intense affection—almost the -reverence of her pupils. But her heart is young, and somebody -else’s heart is young also, and these two have grown together, -till, in an hour of general congratulation, their hands are joined, -and they start off upon life’s journey no longer twain. Then the -same zeal, the same concentration of interest and effort which made -her so successful a teacher, is developed touching home cares and -a husband’s comfort; and weeks grow to months and months to years, -and her face is not seen, even for an hour, in the school-room -where she served so well. She did not mean it so to be; but so it -was, and the shrewd heathen Chinese, that was almost persuaded in -view of her zeal and self-denial to become a Christian, thinks now -that he sees through it all: “Good pay, good teach; no pay, no -teach.”</p> - -<p>Here is another teacher who took up the work with zeal and loved -it—so she said and so she thought; better and better the longer -she wrought. But she is cumbered with much serving all day long, -and brings a weak flesh, and, consequently, a not very willing -spirit to her evening’s service at the mission. The pupils note it. -It is indeed unmistakable, for the head nods and the eyes close, -time and again, before the last school hour is half expired. They -don’t like to burden her, and one by one they drop out of the -school. The Superintendent intervenes as gently as he can; but he -finds that it is very difficult to dismiss a teacher and not lose a -friend.</p> - -<p>Here is a field where the opportunity is evidently large, and the -gate to it<a class="pagenum" name="Page_145" id="Page_145">[145]</a> seems wide open. You enter it hopefully. Plans seem to -form themselves almost without your thinking. Arrangements are made -and the work begins. Then it appears the arrangements were <em>not</em> -made; that you “reckoned without your host;” his plans and yours -do not exactly dovetail, and in this case a miss is as good, and -as ill, as a mile. Delays ensue; disappointment and failure seem -inevitable. The very elements seem to have conspired against you. -And yet that opportunity must not be lost, for there are golden -harvests possible in that wide-open field, and, somehow, you must -reap them.</p> - -<p>It is getting past the middle of your fiscal year. We have -tried hard to make one dollar do the work of two, and yet the -appropriation is well nigh exhausted. Contributions come in slowly. -The churches, you fancy, have forgotten this work; or, possibly -they dare not propose it among their charities. You sally forth, -subscription book in hand. You take the easy ones first, the men -that you “<em>know</em>” will give. But they respond to your “know” -with a different “No.” and you draw back to your retirement, you -enter into your closet, and learn to go forth the next time in -the use of a coinage and a wisdom not your own and prayer, or the -prayer-hearing Master, pulls you through, so that when the year -ends the year’s bills are all paid and you take a fresh start for -the next twelve-months’ campaign.</p> - -<p>But a truce to all this. Who expects to make a voyage and encounter -no storms? Who can hope to win a battle without finding that there -are blows to take as well as blows to give? Our Master never -promised us that just now the currents should float in either to -the fulfilment of our task or the attainment of a full salvation; -but forewarning us that in the world we should have great trials -and tribulation, he adds, “Be of good cheer; I have overcome the -world.”</p> - -<p>I conclude with this little extract from a letter just received -from a new helper, Jue Lee, whom we have sent to Oroville: “Now -the school is here first-rate getting on. We have almost thirty -scholars every night, but Mr. Ostrom, [Pastor of the church, W. C. -P.], read the Bible also. I explain China to them. Now I hope God -open their ears to hear; find out this true light soon, and come to -worship same God. But Christ is a faithful Saviour, and will not -forsake those who put their trust in Him. But I, at first, dislike -here; it seem everything so strange to me. Now that I remember what -the Bible says: ‘But the Son of Man hath not where to lay his head’ -[I am content]. Now I hope God give me power to preach and soon -they will be all converted.”</p> -</div> - -<hr class="full" /> -<div class="article"> -<h2>WOMAN’S HOME MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION.</h2> - -<p class="secauth">Room 20, Congregational House, Beacon St., Boston.</p> - -<p class="secauth"> - <span style="padding-right: 5%;"><span class="smcap">Miss Nathalie Lord</span>, <i>Secretary</i>.</span> - <span class="smcap">Miss Abby W.

A meeting of the -Association to complete the business of incorporation by adopting -the Charter and By-Laws, was held in the chapel of Mt. Vernon -church, on March 30. In spite of the stormy weather the meeting was -a large one. Upon a motion to adopt the Charter, the opposition (to -the so-called “restriction” policy) at once offered an amendment, -to postpone the whole matter of incorporation for a few weeks. A -lively and somewhat lengthy discussion followed, which resulted -in the loss of the amendment and the adoption of the Charter by a -large majority.<a class="pagenum" name="Page_146" id="Page_146">[146]</a> The debate was renewed over the obnoxious “9th -Article,” and an amendment to strike out the word “Home,” as -defining the work of auxiliaries, was proposed; but this was lost -by a vote of 87 to 30, and the original Article adopted by a vote -of 97 to 15.</p> - -<p>The Association feel that they have reason to rejoice, not only in -the result, but in the whole course of the meeting. It was evident -that the opposition steadily lost ground, while the sentiment that -the policy of the Association thus far has been a wise and fitting -one, made a constant gain. We hope and believe that this is an omen -of the increasing good-will and confidence of Christian people -towards the Association. While we are thankful for the steady -growth of interest and the expressions of that interest in material -aid, we pray and long always for more; and we beg that none of -the friends of the work will remit, or intermit their interest, -but that they will rather redouble their efforts as they see how -the field opens before us, and how good a thing it is to help our -neighbors in this way, and to serve our country and God.</p> - -<p>We give an extract or two from a letter lately received from -Miss Carter, at Nashville, telling us something of how she has -used the contents of her last barrel, and of the working of her -sewing-school.</p> - -<p>“Wednesday evening,” she writes, “I had a reception in my room.

If the -children who sent these papers and magazines sacrificed anything -in so doing, may they be blessed for it; they would be could -they see the happy, wondering faces of the children, who almost -reverently turn the pages and spell out the stories.” * * * “I -wish it were possible for you to come into my sewing-school of a -Tuesday evening. At two o’clock the girls assemble—noisy, rough -girls,—racing and laughing they burst into the room where I wait -for them: a room where a family of father, mother and five children -live, one of many, in some old barracks that were used in the -war. We begin with reading of Scripture and a short prayer, and -sometimes the girls sing with their rich, full voices; then we -are all ready for the work, which is sometimes sewing, sometimes -cutting. There is a great deal of commendable rivalry among the -girls as to which shall sew best and fastest, so their tongues run -fast until I silence them with a proposal to read or tell a story. -They are deeply interested in ‘Pilgrim’s Progress,’ and beside we -are having ten minute talks on Physiology, and the care of the -body. The immorality among the women and young girls is something -to make one’s heart ache, and my daily prayer is that I may do -something to turn them to better, purer lives.</p> - -<p>“When a garment is finished, the maker buys it for a trifling sum, -within the means of the poorest.

Perhaps you -read Dickens and Thackeray with moist eyes, and then, laying -aside the book, comfort yourselves with the thought, ‘Well, after -all there is no Nancy or Bill Sykes. There was never any one so -miserable as ‘little Nell’ or ‘poor Jo;’ never any such frightful -creature as one of these great hearts has wept over and the other -has laughed over.’ But believe me, there <em>are</em> just such; no -novelist’s pen has ever colored too highly possible poverty and -degradation.

SAWYER.</p> - -<p>“I never, <em>never</em> can bring myself to do it, Auntie; I know I never -can!” and Claudie’s blue eyes grew so very cloudy that Auntie -thought the rain drops would surely fall.</p> - -<p>“Very well, my darling, you may do as you please,” she said, -cheerily; “but now run out into the sunshine, for I shall be very -busy this morning and you must amuse yourself.”</p> - -<p>That did not seem a hard thing to the little girl, as she wanted to -explore the new home into which she had come for the first time the -night before. How strange everything looked; the blue mountains in -the distance, the cotton fields where women were picking the white -balls into baskets, the little log cabins with their queer mud -chimneys, and the mules shaking their long ears as they drew the -great wagons piled high with snowy cotton bales along the road to -town. From the open window of the great brick building opposite she -could hear the hum of voices, for this was a colored college, and -Claudie’s uncle was one of its Professors. Her mamma had gone to -Heaven a little time before, and this was why she was playing alone -in the Southern sunshine at Auntie Faith’s home.</p> - -<p>But why was she alone? Out under the cedar trees were Pink and -Chloe and little Midge “playing supper” with persimmons and -chincapins, and breaking out now and then into song as naturally<a class="pagenum" name="Page_148" id="Page_148">[148]</a> -as the mocking-birds themselves. They had viewed Claudie from -afar with round, admiring eyes, reserved the biggest chincapins -for her use, and Pink had even ventured to say “Howdy?” but the -little stranger stood aloof. Not a cross word or a naughty one had -any of the children spoken, and they looked as clean and neat as -Claudie herself would have looked had she been eating very ripe -persimmons as freely as they. Pink’s black eyes were as full of fun -and sparkle as Claudie’s blue ones, and her face as bright, and yet -playing with these children was the very thing Claudie had said she -could never, never do!</p> - -<p>I really don’t like to tell you her reason, she would be so ashamed -of it now. It was just because their merry little faces were -colored <em>black</em> instead of <em>white</em>!</p> - -<p>Now Claudie would never have been so foolish if she had not heard -some grown-up people talking after this fashion just before she -left the North:</p> - -<p>“I really don’t see how dear Mrs. Faith, with her refined tastes, -can <em>live</em> among the blacks,” said one.</p> - -<p>“Think of eating at the same table, and actually touching them! -It fairly makes me shiver,” echoed another, who sat with one arm -around a big Newfoundland dog while she fed him with candy.</p> - -<p>And after Mrs. Faith, with tears in her eyes, had told the story -of her work and described her love and respect for her colored -friends, another lady smilingly said:</p> - -<p>“I have enjoyed your talk <em>so</em> much, Mrs. Faith; but I don’t envy -you in the least. I know I couldn’t <em>endure</em> the negroes.”</p> - -<p>Claudie was not old enough to understand that people who talk in -this way are not the best or the wisest or the most refined people, -and so their words influenced her. She was a very sociable little -body, however, and playing alone soon grew dull. It was hot on the -veranda, and, too, indeed, that shady nook under the cedars seemed -the only cool spot in the yard just then, and how cunning little -Midge did look!</p> - -<div class="poem"><div class="stanza"> -<span class="i0">“No second-class on board the train,<br /></span> -<span class="i2">No difference in the fare,”<br /></span> -</div></div> - -<p>piped Pink, gleefully, as she set her table with gouber shells for -plates.</p> - -<p>Claudie started. Why, Auntie sung that song once, and she said it -meant that Jesus and the angels loved black people just as well -as white ones, and thought them quite as beautiful. How funny to -forget that! If the little angels would be willing to play with -colored children of course she could, and then those persimmons -were vanishing <em>so</em> fast!</p> - -<p>The next minute a little white-robed maiden was flying through the -rose-garden toward the cedars.</p> - -<p>“Oh, Pink!” she cried, breathlessly, “I never ate a persimmon in -all my life.”</p> - -<p>“We is saving some for you,” answered Pink, as graciously as if her -polite advances had been received at first, “an’ Chloe got some -‘simmon bread an’ Midge brought some goubers.”</p> - -<p>What these new delights were Claudie had no idea, and the -children’s tongues ran faster than ever as they explained. After -the feast came an exploring trip, and under Pink’s guidance the -yard and the adjoining field proved a perfect storehouse of -treasures.</p> - -<p>“’Clare, I done forgot,” she cried, suddenly producing a long -necklace of chincapins, and presenting it shyly to Claudie; “I made -it on purpose for you.”</p> - -<p>“Oh, you splendid Pink!” cried Claudie; “you are the very nicest -little girl I know!” and throwing her arms around her new friend’s -neck she kissed her rapturously.</p> - -<p>Then of course they must play house, with Claudie as the -well-dressed mamma, and then came school and church and everything -else they could think of, till at last, tired out with play, they -threw themselves down in the shade to tell stories.</p> - -<p><a class="pagenum" name="Page_149" id="Page_149">[149]</a></p> - -<p>“I wonder if Heaven is over yonder by the mountains,” said Claudie, -dreamily; “my mamma is in Heaven, and she has a beautiful white -robe, and a golden crown and a harp!”</p> - -<p>“An’ my mamma is in Hebben, too, an’ she wears a collarette,” -chimed in Chloe with much importance; “but Hebben isn’t on the -mountains; it’s in England!”</p> - -<p>Claudie had just opened her mouth to dispute this remarkable -statement, when Pink took up the argument:</p> - -<p>“Chloe doesn’t know nuffin ’bout it,” she laughed. “She just thinks -that ’cause cousin Emma went to England in a big ship with a heap -of colored people to sing, an’ she said ev’rybody was so good it -seemed just like Heaven, and nobody seemed to notice that they -weren’t as white as anybody, an’ she saw the queen, an’ she went -to dinner with white folks in splendid big houses, an’ a white -gen’leman took her out to dinner hisself, an’ treated her ’zactly -like a white lady; an’ she says, ‘’magine me in Washington an’ -Gene’l Sherman taking me out to dinner!’”</p> - -<p>Pink stopped breathless.</p> - -<p>“But she did say it were sure ’nuff Hebben dere! You didn’t tell it -all, Pink Symond,” persisted Chloe, indignantly.</p> - -<p>“Yes,” said Pink, more soberly, “she <em>did</em> say that when they came -home an’ she had to ride in smoking cars, an’ couldn’t go to table -with white folks at hotels, an’ was treated just like we all are, -she thought England must be Heaven sure enough, ’cause everybody -says this is the freest country outside of Heaven!”</p> - -<p>Just then this theological discussion was ended by the sound of the -dinner-bells, and Pink and Claudie, with arms lovingly around each -other, walked slowly toward the house.</p> - -<p>“Of such is the kingdom of Heaven,” murmured Uncle Faith as he -watched them from his study window, and the tired look on his -face faded away and something came instead that made Claudie say -wonderingly—</p> - -<p>“Oh, Uncle Faith, you look like—like the apostle John!”</p> - -<p>“I think Pink is perfectly beautiful, Auntie,” whispered Claudie at -her bedtime talk that night, “and I do wish those ladies at home -could see her. You know, Auntie”—the fair face flushing—“I was so -ignorant ’bout the colored people this morning, and I didn’t know -any better, and I s’pose that’s just the way with those ladies. -Isn’t there some way we could tell them, Auntie, that the colored -people are just like us, and that they don’t seem so very colored -after all?”</p> -</div> - -<hr class="full" /> -<div class="article"> -<h2>RECEIPTS</h2> - -<p class="section">FOR MARCH, 1881.</p> - -<hr class="chap" /> - - -<table class="receipts"> -<tr><td class="statehead" colspan="2">MAINE, $131.43.</td></tr> - -<tr> -<td class="sub1">Augusta.
