We aim to secure subscriptions sufficient -to meet the cost of the magazine, and this is a reminder to such -of our readers as desire to assist us in this object. We do what -we can to make it worth the price asked. Nearly all the articles -it contains are written expressly for the MISSIONARY, and pains is -taken to give variety and freshness to each number. - -Upon annual application, the following persons are entitled to -receive the AMERICAN MISSIONARY free: life members, ministers -whose churches take an annual collection for the Association, -Superintendents of Sabbath Schools, and donors who contribute in a -year not less than five dollars. - - * * * * * - -We wish to congratulate the Southern Methodist Episcopal Church -on her growing helpfulness to the colored people. A recent and -most timely gift in this direction was that of Dr. Haygood, as the -agent for the disbursing of the John F. Slater Fund. His broad -liberality, his intimate knowledge of the Southern field, and -his honest impartiality make him just the man for that place. We -anticipate a most effective administration of the Slater Fund under -his care. Another event in the history of the Methodist Episcopal -Church South was the inauguration, in May last, at the General -Conference, of a plan for founding a school of high grade for the -training of teachers and preachers among the colored people. A new -and crowning impulse to this was given at the recent meeting of the -North Georgia Conference, in the appointment of Dr. Morgan Galloway -as the President of the new institution, which is to be located in -Augusta, Ga., and named “Paine College.” All honor to our Southern -Methodist friends for these movements in so important a matter, and -all success to them in these and every other like endeavor, which -their hearts may prompt them to plan and their hands to execute. - -REVIVALS HOW AND WHEN, is the title of a very timely and useful -volume by Rev. Wm. W. Newell, D.D. The following subjects with -others are discussed: Why use the word revival, Evangelistic -meetings, Household revivals, Bible class and Sabbath-school -revivals, Revival preaching, Fixed laws for the promotion of -revivals, Temperance revivals, When should we have revivals. Dr. -Newell speaks from a rich experience of many years and enforces -his views with copious incidents and pertinent quotations from the -words of eminent men. The whole subject is discussed in a clear, -comprehensive and interesting manner. The book was prepared to -help ministers and laymen, and contains an abundance of suggestive -and available information. There is no work more dear to this -Association than revival work, and no volume has recently come to -our knowledge apparently more fitted to promote it. - - * * * * * - - -WOMAN’S OPPORTUNITY THE OPPORTUNITY OF THE AGE. - -There is nothing like it in any land—the opportunity of the -Christian women of America to labor for the uplift of womanhood the -world over. The call, however, for woman’s work in America during -the past twenty years seems to us to have been peculiarly urgent, -and yet we think the majority of the noble Christian women in our -churches have, up to this time, seen only dimly the demands upon -them in this regard. How loving, pitying woman, whose labors and -sacrifices are so abounding in behalf of women, should have seen -with so little responsive interest the necessities for work among -the colored women of this land, is among the marvels of Christian -ethics. - -If women, anywhere, are under obligation to help women, it seems to -us the women in our churches are indebted, beyond words to tell, -to the negro women in the South. Their condition is what we have -_made_ it, and remains what we _will_ it. - -But let us not convey the impression that Christian women have been -wholly indifferent to the wants of their colored sisters. On the -other hand, we affirm that there is not a brighter page in modern -missions, than that which records the labors and sacrifices of -Northern women for the lowly dwellers in the cabins of the South. -We only speak, comparatively, of the great body, who need to be -stirred and mastered, as have been the few who have hurried with -the medicine of light and love to relieve the stricken and the -despairing. These have sacrificed youth and beauty, and the hope of -family love and joy, in the attempt to serve a race. With a calm -and reverent step they have gone into the darkest homes of poverty -and suffering to clothe the naked, to minister to the sick, to -comfort the dying, and to save the perishing. - -Twenty-one years ago, when this Association called for teachers -and missionaries to submit to reproach, and obloquy, and ostracism -for the sake of these needy ones, these _rare_ women, in numbers -beyond our ability to send, answered the call. And during all the -years they have stood at our doors, as they stand to-day, saying -“Send me.” - -The work they have done in school building, in church building, -in home building and in character building, cannot be matched in -the history of this generation, certainly, and probably not in the -history of the world. - -When it is remembered, that in 1863 the slaves in the South did not -own an acre of ground and had not a cent of taxable property—that -they had no right to know a letter of the alphabet, and that there -was not a legal marriage among them: but that in 1880 they were -taxed for a hundred millions of dollars—that some 800,000 of them -had learned to read, and that purer churches were teaching purer -and better morals, one can but exclaim, “What hath God wrought!” - -This is, largely, due to the Christian teachers and missionaries of -the American Missionary Association. No society has sent so many -of them to the field, or has so signally demonstrated the quality -and the value of their work. If the history of many of the most -promising and useful of our graduates could be written up the story -would read like romance. - -The draught upon mind, and heart, and body has been heavy and -exhausting. Not a few have left the service broken in health for -life, and others have paid the penalty of overwork in early graves. -All this they have not complained of; but their keenest anguish has -come from lack of that fullness and warmness of sympathy which they -had a right to expect from the whole Christian sisterhood of the -North. They ask for it now, and we ask for it in their name! - -Will not our Christian women re-examine this question of their duty -with reference to the elevation of the colored race, and especially -of the women of that race? There can be no sure and lasting -elevation of that people without refined and intelligent homes; and -there can be no such homes without pure and intelligent colored -women to build them. Such women can be brought forward, only as -they have pure models to imitate, and refined teachers to instruct -and guide them. - -Fortunately, Northern homes are full of such models and of such -teachers; and they only need the supporting word and hand of their -sisters to go forth in larger numbers, and to lay, more broadly and -grandly, the foundations of a regenerated South. They _know_ that -the colored woman can be elevated by the gospel of Christ, they -_know_ that she can take on culture like a garment, and be made a -power in redeeming her race. - -May we not, then, once more call the attention of Christian women -to this work, so peculiarly theirs, and laid upon them by so many -providential tokens? - -It will be of interest to a large circle of friends on both sides -of the water to learn of the marriage at Prof. Geo. L. White’s -residence, Fredonia, N.Y., of Miss Ella Sheppard, pianist of the -original Jubilee Singer Company, to Rev. Geo. W. Moore, of Oberlin. -Mr. Moore is a graduate of Fisk University and acted as pastor of -the Howard Chapel at Nashville for some time, where his labors -were much appreciated. He has recently been connected with the -theological department of Oberlin College and has preached with -acceptance to churches in Ohio. - - * * * * * - - -A FALLING OFF OF 17 PER CENT. IN DONATIONS FROM THE LIVING. - -The receipts from living donors for the first three months of our -fiscal year amounted to $39,528.77, against $48,174.97 for the -corresponding months of the previous year, showing a falling off -of more than 17 per cent. The receipts from legacies, however, -amounted to $15,486.65, against $7,029.65 of the year before. The -total receipts for the three months ending Dec. 31st amounted to -$55,015.42, against $55,204.62 for the previous year. - -The Committee on Finance at Cleveland estimated that for this -year $375,000 would be wanted, against $300,000 for the year then -closed, an increase of 25 per cent. If this gain had been realized, -we should have received for the first quarter $93,750 instead -of $55,015.42, a difference of $38,734.58. The friends of this -Association will see from these figures that if the plans suggested -at our Annual Meeting are carried out, not only must the smaller -sources of contributions be augmented, but the churches having the -means to give must contribute more largely. With this in view we -take the liberty of making the following suggestions: - -1. That in localities where money is raised by solicitation from -a few old friends who have already taken a deep interest in the -Negroes, efforts for collecting funds be made immediately. - -2. In parishes where the benevolent organizations connected with -the church give no assistance to the Freedmen, we suggest that -special efforts be made in Sabbath-schools, the monthly concert -and at the annual collection, so that the amount raised for this -Association may be in due proportion to that given to the other -missionary societies supported by the Congregational churches. - -3. In churches that do not follow a fixed system as to time for -taking collections, we suggest that the claims of our work be -explained and urged at least once a year, and that contributions be -forwarded to us at the earliest date possible. - -We commend these suggestions to that thoughtful and prayerful -consideration which we believe is justified and demanded by the -necessities of the great work in which we are engaged. - - * * * * * - - -THE NATIONAL LEGISLATURE AND NATIONAL ILLITERACY. - -BY PROF. C. C. PAINTER. - -Broad questions of Statesmen receive tardy attention from the -average legislator because they receive but little from his -constituents, while such matters as the imposition or removal of a -tax upon cigars is to him of pressing interest, because it concerns -the “boys” who run the caucases. This is perhaps well, as questions -of policy are tentatively settled and affect only passing and -limited interests; issues that are fundamental and vital, which are -to be settled for all time, come to a full recognition slowly. - -Statutes are enacted as average intellects may decide, or the -balance of selfishness allow, but laws are not made, but discovered -as God has enacted, and related them to permanent interests. The -making or unmaking of the one is the facile work of charlatans -when by some mysterious providence they find their way into our -legislative halls; the discovery of the other is work for seers and -statesmen which once done is done forever. - -The Revised Statutes of this Congress make obsolete those of the -last, not necessarily because superior wisdom has devised better, -which must prove a permanent gain; but when a law of human society -has been recognized and so enunciated that it becomes a regulating -force, civilization has taken a forward step. The race is not -simply less disturbed and more comfortable because temporary -adjustments have been made of conflicting interests, but it is -richer and stronger because of an enduring possession, and we can -afford to labor and wait for such. - -Each new application of an old principle calls for a fresh -statement of the principle. That man’s personal rights are -modified by the fact of his social relations, is a truth old as -the beginning of civilized life, but that he may not suffer his -children to grow up in ignorance, is a proposition startling to -many, and practically asserted by but few of our State governments, -though it is well-known that our government itself as well as all -our social interests are put in jeopardy by the ignorant citizen -who becomes a voter. - -That the constitutional duty of the President to execute the laws, -and of Congress to provide for the safety of the Republic involved -the right to levy war against states, to blockade their harbors, to -emancipate their slaves, to dictate the Constitutions under which -they could resume their autonomy as States in the union, this was -recognized only in face of fearful dangers and admitted only when -established on many bloody fields of a desolating war, but is now -so familiar, so axiomatic that no one doubts the nation’s right to -defend its own life by all means which do not of themselves subvert -that life. - -That the safety of the Republic requires a general diffusion of -intelligence no sane man will deny, and yet some assert that it -will subvert the fundamental principles of this government if it -practically secured this prime condition of its own life—that it -must delegate to other hands the control of conditions and facts -vital to its life, with no power or right to enforce attention to -them. The right and capacity of self-government are found only -in the virtue and intelligence of the people. If this be so, the -obligation of a free government to enforce the education of its -citizens is involved in its right to live. - -This obligation is recognized, or should be, in the constitutional -guarantee of a Republican form of government to each State, for -the guarantee of such a form of government carries with it the -conditions essential to it, one of which, and a prime one, is the -intelligence of the citizen. This cannot be secured by the military -arm of the nation, but by the school-master alone, who thus becomes -a constitutional officer of the republic. The proposition that a -republican form of government may be maintained by force over a -people too ignorant to maintain it for themselves is too absurd for -serious debate. - -The right of the national government to interfere in case a State -neglects the education of its children, seems clear on the ground -of self-protection. The duty to aid the States struggling to -accomplish this work, but unable to do it, because of its vastness, -and of its own poverty, seems also clear, and has now become urgent -in view of the appalling facts revealed in the last census. - -Our national Congress is constrained to hear the cry that is coming -up from all parts of the country calling attention to this duty. -Let not those who feel an interest in this, relax effort or lose -heart. It is not a measure to be adopted in a moment. It means -much; it involves much. It will bring with it new and seemingly -revolutionary conceptions of the functions of the government when -it reaches out its strong arms to defend its life, not in the sad -work of shooting down ignorant and brutalized parricides, but in -the better work of helping to qualify for their children, who are -to be charged with duties, the gravest which fall to men, and for -positions the highest to which ambition can impel them—the duties -and position of a citizen of this free republic. - - * * * * * - - -Arrangements have been made by the Missionary Society of -Connecticut to hold thirty conventions in the State, at which the -following benevolent societies supported by the Congregationalists -will be represented; American Board, American Congregational Union, -American Home Missionary Society, American Missionary Association, -American College and Education Society, New West Education -Commission, Congregational Publishing Society. The meetings for the -first month will be held as follows: Tuesday, Feb. 6, Stamford, -morning and afternoon; Wed. the 7th, Danbury, 1st Church, morning -and afternoon; Thursday the 8th, Hartford, Park Church, afternoon -and evening; Tuesday the 13th, Bridgeport, 1st Church, morning and -afternoon; Wednesday the 14th, New Milford, morning and afternoon; -Thursday, the 15th, Bridgeport, Park st. Church, morning and -afternoon; Tuesday the 20th, New Haven, 1st Church, afternoon -and evening; Wednesday the 21st, Ansonia, morning and afternoon; -Thursday the 22d, Hartford, South Church, afternoon and evening; -Tuesday the 27th, Middletown, 1st Church, morning and afternoon; -Wednesday the 28th, New Haven, College st. Church, morning and -afternoon. - - * * * * * - - -BENEFACTIONS. - -Liberty E. Holden has given $150,000 to Western Reserve University, -Cleveland, Ohio. - -Mr. John I. Blair has given $15,000 to Iowa College for building -purposes. - -Atlanta University and Berea College have received $5,000 each for -endowment purposes from Mr. Tuthill King, of Chicago. - -The University of Pennsylvania has received $20,000 towards the -endowment of a veterinary school in connection with the University. - -John R. Buchtel has sold $200,000 worth of stock in the Buckeye -Works to Lewis Miller and his three sons, in order to make an -additional gift of $100,000 to Buchtel College. - -James McLaren, a brother of Professor McLaren, of Toronto, Canada, -has subscribed $50,000 to endow a chair of Systematic Theology in -Knox College, Toronto. - -Mrs. L. A. Messenger has given $25,000 in addition to her previous -large gifts to Buchtel College, Akron, Ohio. - -Williams College is to receive $50,000 from the estate of J. B. -Jermain, as a memorial to his son, Barclay Jermain. - -The gift of $10,000 from the late Tracy R. Edson, which his -trustees are now ready to pay, to the General Theological Seminary -for “The Tracy R. Edson Foundation,” makes over $160,000 received -by the Seminary in the last three years. The interest of Mr. -Edson’s gift is to be used in instructing students in the church -service. - -_The number of persons over ten years of age among the colored -people who could not write, in the sixteen old slave states, -according to the census report of November, 1882, was upwards of -three millions; the number of native-born whites who were equally -illiterate was upwards of one and a half millions. We believe there -is no more imperative necessity than endowments for educational -institutions sustained for the purpose of ridding the country of -this illiteracy._ - - * * * * * - - -ITEMS FROM THE FIELD. - -PARIS, Texas.—Rev. Byron Gunner is about to make his paper “The -Informer” a weekly. - -FLORENCE, Ala.—Rev. S. G. Norcross, of North Conway, N.H., desiring -to spend five months in the South, is to take the place of the -lamented pastor, Rev. W. H. Ash, and Mrs. Norcross will have charge -of the school. - -NEW ORLEANS, La.—In the Central Church, (Dr. Alexander’s) a series -of meetings held by the pastor, has resulted in some thirty hopeful -conversions. A friend from the North, who fell in upon them, -reports a quiet and deeply impressive service. - -HELENA, Texas.—Pastor Mitchell Thompson rejoices with his people -in a revival of unusual seriousness and spirituality. Eight or ten -persons were joined to the company of believers. That the people -should attend through freezing weather was a thing almost unknown -before. They commonly hold such meetings in midsummer. The church -has been painted, the pastor doing the work. - -SODDY, Tenn.—At the recent meeting of the Central South Conference -at Florence, Rev. W. H. Thomas and his Welsh Church at Soddy were -received, upon application, into the fellowship of the body. Rev. -Robert D. Thomas, of the Welsh Church at Knoxville, has been a -member for some time. He is now retiring from his charge and a -pastor will be sought who can preach in English a part of the time. - -ATLANTA, GA.—Miss Ella W. Moore, a teacher in the Atlanta -University, has, by the special aid of friends, been able to -employ a teacher in a private school opened under her auspices. In -addition to the receipts in money, she has recently received (for -which she makes grateful acknowledgment) from Mrs. John B. Gough, -Worcester, Mass., patchwork, pictures, cards, tracts, etc.; from -Mrs. J. B. Shaw, Paxton, Ill., and Miss Amy Blatchford, Chicago, -valuable Sabbath-school papers and periodicals. - -MERIDIAN, Miss.—By a council on the 15th of Dec., Mr. J. L. Grice, -a graduate of the college and theological department in Howard -University, a member of Dr. J. E. Rankin’s church, was ordained as -pastor after a most satisfactory examination. Sermon and right-hand -of fellowship, by Superintendent Roy; charge to the candidate, by -Rev. E. C. Stickel; address to the church, by Rev. C. B. Curtis; -and prayer of ordination, by Bishop Turner of the African M. E. -Church, the members of the council joining him in laying on of -hands. As the Bishop was holding a Conference in the city, he -attended both the afternoon and evening services of the Council, -after the members of that body had waited upon the Conference in -the morning. The Bishop stated that in attending a great many -examinations, he had never come upon a better one. - -Owing to the space occupied by the list of our appointments for the -year we have been obliged to omit the publication of General Notes -and to hold over other matters of interest. - - * * * * * - - -NEW APPOINTMENTS. - -1882-1883. - -The following list presents the names and post-office addresses of -those who are under appointment in the Churches, Institutions and -Schools aided by the American Missionary Association, among the -Freedmen in the South, and the Chinese on the Pacific Coast.

M. A. - -The first school for the Freedmen was established by the American -Missionary Association. On the 17th of September, 1861, only five -months after the beginning of the war, that school was opened at -Hampton, Va., where many fugitive slaves had congregated under the -protection of the guns of Fortress Monroe. The spot overlooked -the waters on which the first slave ship entered the American -Continent. The Association steadily extended its work, until -it had founded chartered institutions in every large Southern -State;—Berea College, Berea, Ky.; Hampton Institute, Hampton, Va.; -Atlanta University, Atlanta, Ga.; Fisk University, Nashville, -Tenn.; Talladega College, Talladega, Ala.; Tougaloo University, -Tougaloo, Miss.; Straight University, New Orleans, La.; Tillotson -Collegiate and Normal Institute, Austin, Texas. Land has also been -purchased for the Edward Smith College, in Little Rock, Arkansas. -It has 49 other schools of different grades. Connected with some -of its chartered institutions are Theological, Law and Industrial -Departments. Those at Hampton, Talladega and Tougaloo, have large -farms. Chartered Institutions, 8; Normal and High Schools, 11; -Common Schools, 38; Total, 57; Teachers, 241; Students, 9,608. -Howard University, Washington, D.C., established by the Freedmen’s -Bureau, in 1882 had 29 teachers and 349 students. The theological -department is sustained mainly by the A. M. A. - - -FREEDMEN’S AID SOCIETIES. - -The “Freedmen’s Aid Societies” were early organized. The first -was formed in Boston, Feb. 7th, a second in New York, Feb. 23d, -1863. Others followed rapidly—in Cincinnati, Chicago, Cleveland, -and elsewhere throughout the North, and in 1865 the teachers -employed by all the societies numbered 634. With a view to economy -and efficiency they were consolidated in 1866, in the “American -Freedmen’s Union Commission.” These societies devoted themselves -in large part at first to physical relief and the organization -of labor. But ere long, the education of the Freedmen became -their chief endeavor and they accomplished much good in the line -of secular education. But the several branches were at length -abandoned or became absorbed in the societies of the religious -organizations. The Commission itself closed in 1869. - - -THE BAPTISTS. - -The Baptists, who conduct their work, both educational and church, -among the Freedmen, through their Home Missionary Society, entered -early into the establishment of schools; beginning in the Spring of -1862 with schools at St. Helena and Beaufort, S.C., and afterwards -adding others at Fortress Monroe, Washington, Knoxville and New -Orleans. Missionaries were appointed to preach, and to teach -day-schools, and assistants, both male and female, were sent out; -from 3,000 to 5,000 pupils were taught yearly, until about 1872, -when the secular or day-school system was given up, and efforts -concentrated on permanent or higher institutions, some of which -had been planted in 1865. In 1882, the Society has under its -care 12 schools as follows: Wayland Seminary, Washington, D.C.; -Richmond Institute, Richmond, Va.; Shaw University, Raleigh, N.C.; -Benedict Institute, Columbia, S.C.; Atlanta Seminary, Atlanta, -Ga.; Nashville Institute, Nashville, Tenn.; Leland University, New -Orleans, La.; Natchez Seminary, Natchez, Miss.; Alabama Normal -and Theological School at Selma, Ala.; Florida Institute, Live -Oak, Fla.; Bishop College, Marshall, Tex.; Louisville Normal and -Theological School, Louisville, Kentucky. Normal instruction is -given in most of the schools; industrial education in several; and -Biblical instruction in all. In four institutions a collegiate -course is pursued. Five are chartered institutions. In 1882, -Schools, 12; Teachers, 79; Pupils, 2,397. The Free Will Baptists -have an excellent institution, Storer College, at Harper’s Ferry, -W. Va., with 5 Teachers and 245 Students. - - -THE FRIENDS. - -The Friends, true to the principles of the founder of their -denomination, George Fox, entered at once the opened door for -relieving the physical necessities of the Freedmen, and at length -established schools among them; but when the public schools -furnished the education, they gradually withdrew. They now maintain -Southland College, Helena, Ark., with 277 Pupils, a school in -Maryville, Tenn., with 13 Instructors and 211 Pupils, and one in -Philadelphia with 291 Pupils, with the supervision of 22 other -schools in the South sustained for several months in the year. The -Friends (Hicksite), entered the work in 1862, furnishing supplies -at first, afterwards sustaining schools numbering at one time 25. -They now have one school with 150 scholars. - - -THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH. - -The Methodist Episcopal Church had from the first co-operated with -the undenominational Aid Societies in the care of the Freedmen, in -relieving physical suffering and in giving instruction in primary -education. But it concentrated its efforts by the organization, in -Cincinnati, Aug. 6, 1866, of “The Freedmen’s Aid Society of the -Methodist Episcopal Church.” This Society now reports six chartered -institutions, viz.: Central Tennessee College, Nashville, Tenn.; -Clark University, Atlanta, Ga.; Claflin University, Orangeburg, -S.C.; New Orleans University, New Orleans, La.; Rust University, -Holly Springs, Miss.; Wiley University, Marshall, Texas. Four -theological schools, viz.: Centenary Biblical Institute, Baltimore, -Md.; Gammon Theological Seminary, Atlanta, Ga.; Baker Institute, -Orangeburg, S.C., and Thomson Biblical Institute, New Orleans, La. -One medical college, viz., Meharry Medical College, Nashville, -Tenn.; and 14 institutions not chartered. Total number of -institutions, 35; teachers, 95; pupils, 3,506. It gives special -attention to Biblical instruction, and at Clark University a -Department of Industry is established. The African Methodist -Episcopal Church founded and sustained Wilberforce University at -Xenia, Ohio, with 13 teachers and 170 students. - - -THE PRESBYTERIANS. - -The “Presbyterian Committee of Missions for Freedmen,” was -organized by the General Assembly in 1865 and began its work -at once, by sending preachers and teachers to the South. Its -efforts thus far are confined to the two Carolinas, Virginia and -Tennessee, with a few missions and schools in Georgia, Kentucky -and Florida. It has under its care three chartered institutions: -Biddle University, Charlotte, N.C. (with a Theological Department), -Wallingford Academy, Charleston, S.C., and Scotia Seminary, -Concord, N.C.; 2 normal schools; 3 graded schools, and 50 parochial -schools. Total number of schools, 58; teachers, 108; scholars, -6,088. Lincoln University (Lincoln University P. O.), Oxford, Pa., -has an able corps of 13 professors and 200 students—18 theological, -100 collegiate, 82 preparatory. The United Presbyterians have two -schools, one in Abbyville, Va., with 4 teachers and 245 students, -the other in Chase City, Va., with 3 teachers and 251 students. - - -THE EPISCOPALIANS. - -The “Protestant Episcopal Freedmen’s Commission” was organized -October, 1865, and in a few months it opened schools in Petersburg, -Va., Wilmington and Raleigh, N.C. The first year the teachers -numbered 23, and the scholars, day and night, 1,600. The Committee -for Domestic Missions (under whose care this work now is), reported -in 1882, 2 normal schools with 8 teachers each, and 11 schools with -one teacher each. The normal schools are at Raleigh, N.C., and at -Petersburg, Va. - - -THE ROMAN CATHOLICS. - -The Catholic Directory for 1882 reports for the Archdiocese of -Baltimore 1 academy for colored girls, with 60 pupils, and 4 other -schools with 693 pupils; total, 753; Archdiocese of New Orleans, -7 schools, 330 pupils; Archdiocese of St. Louis, 1 school, 120 -pupils; Diocese of Louisville, 6 schools, 332 pupils; Diocese of -Natchez, 3 schools, 80 pupils; Diocese of Natchitoches, 2 schools, -40 pupils; Diocese of Savannah, 2 schools, 75 pupils; Diocese -of St. Augustine, 6 schools, number of pupils not given. Total -schools, 30; pupils reported, 1,730. - - * * * * * - - - - -THE SOUTH. - -REV. JOSEPH E. ROY, D.D., FIELD SUPERINTENDENT. - -PROF. ALBERT SALISBURY, SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATION. - - * * * * * - - -THE HEMENWAY FARM. - -BY GEN. S. C. ARMSTRONG. - -In 1878, when the 150 acres of arable land of the Hampton Institute -could offer no more farm work to the increasing number of negro -and Indian students, a generous lady, of Boston, Mass., gave, -principally for the benefit of the Indians, the sum of nine -thousand dollars, to purchase a fine grass and grain farm of 350 -acres, five miles from the school, to which was added, by purchase, -250 acres more, and to it has been given the name “Hemenway Farm,” -as a memorial to the husband of the giver. - -It was placed in charge of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. H. Vanison, both -graduates of Hampton, but has been under the general control of Mr. -Albert Howe, formerly of Dorchester, Mass., manager of the Normal -School farm. - -During the three and a half summer (vacation) months, the sixty -Indian boys, excepting about one-third who go to Berkshire Co., -Mass., to work with the farmers, spend by turns, in squads of -twelve or fifteen, two weeks at a time at this farm, taking part -in the stock and farming operations, which are carried on on -a larger and simpler scale than at the school. They thus get -a wholesome change from life in the workshops, besides useful, -practical knowledge. A general knowledge of agriculture and stock -is important for those who are learning trades. - -The steady working force of the farm is composed of from eight to -ten colored boys, who begin October 1st each year, working till the -next October, ten hours a day, studying every night from seven till -nine o’clock, under the direction of Mrs. Vanison. They receive, -besides their board, from $8 to $10 a month, which, excepting $3 a -month for clothing, they are expected to save to pay future school -expenses. They are an ignorant, destitute class, but, as a rule, -are most willing, earnest and deserving students. After working all -day, they study harder at night than any others in the school. Ten -hours of handling lumber at the saw-mill, or steady work on the -farm, or in the machine shop, is no trifling duty, but they are -eager for their night lessons. - -The ten at the Hemenway Farm are a part of 130 “work students,” -thirty of them girls, employed in the various industrial -departments, constituting about one-third of the colored pupils -at Hampton. They devote a preliminary year to day labor and night -study, to fit themselves to enter the junior class of this year’s -course, and to accumulate a small fund, averaging $75 for the year, -to help meet cost of board, ten dollars a month, besides clothing -and books. This is done in part by working two days each week of -the regular course. With strict economy and working all vacations, -they maintain themselves through the entire course graduating -without receiving a dollar in charity, some, however, need help the -last year and none are more worthy of it. - -The effect on their characters is excellent. Good as it is, that -they shall earn and learn in this way, it is even better for the -habits, ideas and manliness it promotes. The entire class is -mature, averaging 19 years of age. Mr. Vanison is as excellent a -manager as we care to have; his wife keeps house, sees to the boys’ -meals, rooms and washing, and teaches them nights, besides raising -some 500 chickens, at which she has a wonderful “knack.” - -The farm was cultivated last year as follows; 75 acres in wheat, -80 acres in oats, 112 in corn, 35 in clover and orchard grass, -the rest in pasture, a few acres being devoted to vegetables and -an orchard. Much was done in clearing old ditch banks. The stock -consists of 50 hogs and pigs, 110 sheep and lambs, 6 colts, and -from 10 to 20 beef cattle, which are bought in the neighborhood, -fattened on the pasture and killed at the school, two or three a -week being required there. - -The Hemenway farm, of 600 acres, some 60 acres of it marshy, is -situated in Elizabeth City County, on Bach River, which is an -estuary half a mile in width. The house is a famous, but plain, -old Southern mansion, in which Gen. Washington once dined. Until -1878 it had been for many generations in the hands of an old -aristocratic family, whom the war impoverished, and their place -was sold for debt. The location is a beautiful one; the region is -quite Englishlike in appearance, with its rich, level fields and -its hedge-rows. In summer, delicious breezes blow up the river from -Chesapeake Bay, four miles distant. - -Oysters and fish abound in its water front; a handsome lawn and -fine old trees surround the house, all of which are a delight to -the boys, especially to the Indians, who have long summer mornings. - -The past season a plain but pretty cottage was added to the old -house, which was too small, containing a dining-room, kitchen, -laundry, and bedrooms for the boys upstairs. This leaves rooms, as -was intended by the giver, for tired teachers to come and rest for -a night from the cares and din of the institute, to whom the quiet -and beauty of “Shellbanks,” its former name, is a great comfort. -I must not forget to mention the ample barn, stable, cow-shed, -tool-house, corn-crib, extensive stacks of straw, and wind-mill for -pumping water for the stock. - -[Illustration: HEMENWAY FARM.] - -This is entirely a negro affair; no white person lives on the -place. Its Christian character and influence are earnest and -emphatic. Nothing in the Hampton system is more satisfactory -than this farm. I hope others like it will be provided for other -institutions, but to fit up an old Southern farm after buying it, -costs about as much as the land costs. - -An unexpected advantage of the farm is its being an excellent place -for a badly-behaved Indian boy, when only one is sent there. He -is punished by being separated from his old friends, but the ten -colored fellows carry him along in their daily routine of work and -study; he has no one to “cut up” with; he improves in spite of -himself; the plan has never failed to work well; he finally likes -it and returns changed for the better. - - * * * * * - - -REVIVAL IN CENTRAL CHURCH, NEW ORLEANS. - -W. S. ALEXANDER, D.D. - -It has been our custom in previous years to begin our special -religious meetings the first of January in connection with the -“Week of Prayer.” But this year the Church seemed in readiness at -an earlier date, and we felt that we were obeying the call of the -Lord to “go forward” when we began our special effort to reach the -impenitent, on the night of December 1st. The Friday preceding had -been observed as a day of fasting and prayer. For many days the -spirit of prayer and consecration had been evidently deepening upon -the part of the great majority of the Lord’s people. People who, -for some trivial reason, had been alienated, came together in the -spirit of forgiveness. A great desire was expressed, and I have no -doubt felt, to prepare the way for the coming of the Lord. Our lady -missionary with unsurpassed devotion, visited all the families of -the congregation, making in the short space of ten weeks some 600 -visits. The effort was made to reach every one who sustained even -a nominal relation to our church, as a member or casual attendant, -and invite him to our revival services. - -The result was all and more than we anticipated. The church was -thronged every night. The very first night several presented -themselves for prayer. The number of inquirers increased till we -counted more than fifty. One by one, with a quietness and depth -of feeling that impressed every heart, these earnest inquirers -came into the light, and were made to “rejoice in hope of the -glory of God.” The two manly and dearly beloved sons of the Dean -of our Faculty, were among the first to share in the blessings of -the revival. God only knows our joy when they came forward with -the rest, and bowed before God as suppliants for His mercy and -forgiveness. Never did the words of Holy Writ, which have fallen -from the lips of so many believers, sound sweeter than when one of -these young men recited as his verse at the breakfast table, the -morning after his conversion, “I know that my Redeemer liveth.” - -A pleasant and somewhat unusual feature of this revival has been -its influence upon the men. On more than one occasion we counted -twelve men on the “Mourners’ seats.” Thirty-four professed -conversion. We hope and believe they have been “born again.” A -class of 35 are waiting in joyful anticipation of taking the vows -of God upon them in the Church, and of receiving their “first -communion.” - -I should do injustice to my own feelings did I not speak of the -earnest sympathy and hearty co-operation of all the teachers in the -University in this religious movement. We moved in this matter as a -united body, with but one object in view: the glory of God, and the -upbuilding of the Kingdom of His Son. - - -ADDITIONAL REPORT OF THE REVIVAL. - -PROF. R. C. HITCHCOCK. - -The revival which has been in progress for several weeks at Central -Church has been to me a constant wonder. Even in sedate old -Connecticut a revival season is usually a scene of much emotional -excitement, and it is often impossible to tell how much is sincere -and permanent; but this revival has been all through marked by a -quiet, deep and reverential character. It was my first opportunity -for observation of such meetings among the colored people. I had -heard and read a great deal of the tumultuous excitement on such -occasions, and each night I looked to see, when they should be -fairly “warmed up,” such scenes as I had had pictured. What I -actually did see was this. Each night the pastor preached a short, -practical gospel sermon, packed full with reasons why religion -should be chosen and chosen now, to an earnest, attentive audience. -Then he stepped down in front, and in kind but strong words invited -all who felt the truth of what had been said and wished to become -Christians, to come forward for conversation and the prayers of -the church. Most of those who accepted the invitation were men of -middle age and young men; a few were young ladies. - -Night after night this went on; while the pastor and others were -talking with those who came forward, the audience engaged in -singing. No general invitation was given to speak or pray, a few -only being called on each night to take part. Each night some -souls found peace and joy. It was my good fortune to talk with -nearly every one of the converts, and I found all, so far as I -could judge, thoroughly in earnest; no one scared or urged into -confessions, but each, as the new hope was born in his soul, -rising, generally with streaming eyes, to tell what God had done -for him and ask for fellowship and prayerful help. - - * * * * * - - -SCHOOL AND CHURCH WORK AT FAYETTEVILLE, ARK. - -BY REV. B. F. FOSTER. - -We began work here on the 5th of September, and opened school -under very favorable auspices. We have had 92 pupils enrolled. -Our school is the only one for colored children within a radius -of 65 miles. We are giving some attention to church work, and are -using our school-house as a place of worship. We have service -every Sabbath morning at eleven o’clock—the audiences are large. -We are gratified to say that the influence of the teachers takes -fast hold upon both parent and pupil. We have Sunday-school -every afternoon at three o’clock, and these services are largely -attended. Thanksgiving day was appropriately commemorated. A -sermon was preached in the morning by the missionary pastor. All -who were present seemed deeply impressed with the word. The chapel -was beautifully and tastefully festooned with autumn leaves and -berries, and the walls were embellished with appropriate mottoes -of the sacred Scriptures. At seven o’clock in the evening a very -large number of patrons and friends of the school gathered, and -partook of a repast prepared as a thanksgiving token for them by -the teachers and pupils. Toasts were responded to by the several -pastors of the town and teachers. I said we had service in our -chapel at 11 A.M. every Sunday. We could induce as many to come -in the evening if we had lamps to light up our chapel. Equally as -good results would come from a weekly prayer-meeting, if we had -sufficient lights. We heartily accept this opportunity of asking -the friends of some of our Northern churches to give us of their -old ones—chandelier lamps. The Lord’s Supper was celebrated the -first time, since beginning our work here, last Sunday. Truly, -the Lord was with his people on that solemn occasion. At this -service the missionary pastor’s first and only little daughter was -baptized, which increased the interest of the meeting. To carry -this blessed Supper to Christ’s brethren and sisters, Mrs. Foster’s -pie-pans were used for the emblems of his body, and two borrowed -mugs for the emblem of his blood. From this the friends of God’s -poor will see we would thank them very much to assist us in getting -a communion set. The people among whom we are working are very -poor. Few of them have homes. - - * * * * * - - - - -THE CHINESE. - -REV. W. C. POND, SUPERINTENDENT. - - * * * * * - - -MISSION WORK—GOOD RESULTS. - -SACRAMENTO MISSION.—Mrs. Rilla Carrington, who for the last three -years has most faithfully and successfully conducted the Sacramento -Mission, is required by the state of her health to take a vacation. -It will be only a vacation, and I hope and expect that two or -three months of recuperation will bring her back fresh and strong, -and good for another three years of steady and faithful service. -During her absence, her sister will take her place, and will fill -it well. In communicating her desire for this respite, she indulges -in some reminiscences which, I am sure, will interest our readers. -“During the past three years and a quarter, more than 450 have, for -a longer or shorter period, been members of our Sacramento school. -I would that all who come with us in the school could remain until -they are converted and ready to work for the salvation of their -people. We know of the good service of many who have gone out from -us to visit their homes. For instance, Fong Get Roy, who wrote you -something of his work while in China: he has not ceased to labor -for Christ since his return; Fong Gee, whose father, now dead, was -a heathen priest, was always zealous while here with us; sometimes -speaking to his country-men for an hour or more at a time, showing -them, in the most ridiculous light, the folly of idol and ancestral -worship, and holding up Christ as the only hope of salvation. His -health gave out, and he was compelled to return to China—being -helped by the brethren of San Francisco and Sacramento to do so. -There he is working at his trade for a mere pittance, and giving -what time he can for the conversion of his country-men. Wong Loung -visited his home a year ago, and was married, in accordance with -Chinese customs, to one to whom he had been betrothed in childhood -by his parents. Because he had renounced the religion of his -fathers, he suffered much indignity from members of his family—the -persecutions becoming so great he was obliged to leave home. But -the result was that he returned to America more determined than -ever to hold fast to Christ. Louis Sing, too, was under great -pressure while in China to take part in worship with his relations, -but could not, he said, because he knew the uselessness of such -worship. We hear of Gwan Lee, our organist, as standing firm amidst -the powers of darkness—holding fast to the living faith. He is one -of those whom the present law prohibits from returning to this -country. We all feel as though we could not give him up, and that -some way must be found by which he may come back. - -“We are not only made glad by work done far away, but workers are -here with us—true hearts that love to do something for Jesus -every day. Several have joined the Association this year; among -them, Fong Bow, who is one of the class for whom I requested your -prayers several months ago. He seemed to have much to hold him -back; outside influence made it hard for him to decide. He has been -a member of the school so long that we feel more than usually happy -in his coming. May we not hope and still pray, in faith, for the -other members of the class? This mission work is ever a source of -comfort and pleasure to me, and I know I cannot remain away from it -if blessed with health.” - - -LOU QUONG, ON HEATHEN PRAYERS AND REAL PRAYER. - -Each Wednesday afternoon I meet the Chinese helpers in the schools -of this city for a drill in Bible study, and to receive and remark -upon the sketches of sermons, which they have prepared during the -week. Here is one which Lou Quong brought in yesterday. James 5:16. - -“The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” - -My subject is all on prayer to-day, and it is very needful to all -Christians, especially to those who really mean to be the followers -of the Lord Jesus, and to be workers in the Master’s field. I -will mention a few things of the heathen prayers, which were -occasionally offered to the heathen gods in China as well as in -this city. So far as I can judge there is no true prayer which was -ever offered to their gods, and I, having been born in a heathen -nation, therefore know them well. Each certain prayer belongs to a -certain god. You cannot take one god’s prayer to pray to others; if -you do, you will get no blessing, because you got the wrong prayer, -their prayers not having to come from the heart, but being learned -only from the history of a certain god, so they mostly repeat the -words as near as they can remember. There is not a single prayer -that really comes from the heart. They come only from the lips; -and besides this, when they pray, they do not, like our Christian -people, pray for bad and good, and even for our enemies, and for -all nations; their prayers are only for a certain thing, a certain -matter, for riches, for honors, and for glory, and to have more -sons born than girls; for their father and mother, brothers and -sisters, that they might have a long life. If they have any one -which they do not like, they would pray their God to destroy his -whole family. By this we know that such a prayer our true God will -not hear, but rather punish them. I have a great deal more to say -about the heathen prayer, but I have no time for it just now. So I -must go on to the true prayer, which our Lord Jesus Christ taught -his disciples to say. Yet even such a true and short prayer as -that, which we have repeated every evening in our schools, many of -us would forget before we go to bed at night. This won’t do, my -Christian brethren. We must give all our hearts to God before we -shut our eyes. We cannot pray to God for a certain thing that must -be done while our hearts are on something else, or are doubting -whether God could hear us or not. Suppose to-morrow you intend to -go out and look for a place, so you would pray to God to help you -and to give you one, and you believe he will do it, and then when -to-morrow comes you would lie in bed until afternoon. Then you got -up, thinking that was too late, and would not go. This, indeed, -would make you think that God did not hear your prayer last night. -This is the whole trouble that sometimes God don’t answer our -prayer; but I am very sure that God has heard all my prayers and -has answered all which are for good. When we have a certain matter -that we cannot manage at all, and when we would bring it to God, we -must first make our hearts ready to pray and then without doubting -draw out the true thoughts of our hearts and feel that God is above -us and Jesus is on one side. Then comes the Holy Spirit into our -hearts to teach us how to pray. After we got up from prayer I am -sure we can feel that we were heard, and if we are not answered -on a certain hour we must wait and pray without ceasing until it -comes, for God not, like man, would fail you sometime. This is the -kind of prayer that God does hear. So James says, “The effectual, -fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much;” that is, God does -always hear and answer the true prayer. - - - - -CHILDREN’S PAGE. - - * * * * * - - -[Illustration] - -MISSIONARY MUSIC. - - Have you ever brought a penny to the missionary box— - A penny which you might have spent like other little folks? - And when it falls among the rest, have you ever heard a ring, - Like a pleasant sound of welcome which the other pennies sing? - - This is missionary music, and it has a pleasant sound, - For pennies make a shilling, and shillings make a pound; - And many pounds together the gospel news will send, - Which tell the distant heathen that the Saviour is their Friend. - - And oh! what joyous music is the missionary song, - When it seems to come from every heart and sounds from every - tongue— - When happy Christian little ones all sing with one accord - Of the time when realms of darkness shall be kingdoms of the Lord! - - But sweeter far than all, which Jesus loves to hear, - Are children’s voices when they breathe a missionary prayer— - When they bring the heart-petition to the great Redeemer’s throne, - That He will choose the heathen out, and take them for His own. - - This is the music Jesus taught when he was here below; - This is the music Jesus loves to hear in glory now; - And many a one from, distant lands will reach His heavenly home, - In answer to the children’s prayer, “O Lord, Thy kingdom come!” - - Then, missionary children, let this music never cease; - Work on, work on in earnest, for the Lord, the Prince of Peace; - There is praying work and paying work for every heart and hand, - Till the missionary chorus shall go forth through all the land. - - —_Selected._ - - * * * * * - - - - -RECEIPTS FOR DECEMBER, 1882. - - * * * * * - - - MAINE, $524.18. - - Alfred.

A new -and crowning impulse to this was given at the recent meeting of the -North Georgia Conference, in the appointment of Dr. Morgan Galloway -as the President of the new institution, which is to be located in -Augusta, Ga., and named “Paine College.” All honor to our Southern -Methodist friends for these movements in so important a matter, and -all success to them in these and every other like endeavor, which -their hearts may prompt them to plan and their hands to execute.</p> - -<p><a class="pagenum" name="Page_34" id="Page_34">[34]</a></p> - -<p><span class="smcap">Revivals How and When</span>, is the title of a very timely and -useful volume by Rev.

The following subjects -with others are discussed: Why use the word revival, Evangelistic -meetings, Household revivals, Bible class and Sabbath-school -revivals, Revival preaching, Fixed laws for the promotion of -revivals, Temperance revivals, When should we have revivals. Dr. -Newell speaks from a rich experience of many years and enforces -his views with copious incidents and pertinent quotations from the -words of eminent men. The whole subject is discussed in a clear, -comprehensive and interesting manner. The book was prepared to -help ministers and laymen, and contains an abundance of suggestive -and available information. There is no work more dear to this -Association than revival work, and no volume has recently come to -our knowledge apparently more fitted to promote it.</p> -<hr class="chap" /> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h3>WOMAN’S OPPORTUNITY THE OPPORTUNITY OF THE AGE.</h3> - -<p>There is nothing like it in any land—the opportunity of the -Christian women of America to labor for the uplift of womanhood the -world over. The call, however, for woman’s work in America during -the past twenty years seems to us to have been peculiarly urgent, -and yet we think the majority of the noble Christian women in our -churches have, up to this time, seen only dimly the demands upon -them in this regard. How loving, pitying woman, whose labors and -sacrifices are so abounding in behalf of women, should have seen -with so little responsive interest the necessities for work among -the colored women of this land, is among the marvels of Christian -ethics.</p> - -<p>If women, anywhere, are under obligation to help women, it seems to -us the women in our churches are indebted, beyond words to tell, -to the negro women in the South. Their condition is what we have -<em>made</em> it, and remains what we <em>will</em> it.</p> - -<p>But let us not convey the impression that Christian women have been -wholly indifferent to the wants of their colored sisters. On the -other hand, we affirm that there is not a brighter page in modern -missions, than that which records the labors and sacrifices of -Northern women for the lowly dwellers in the cabins of the South. -We only speak, comparatively, of the great body, who need to be -stirred and mastered, as have been the few who have hurried with -the medicine of light and love to relieve the stricken and the -despairing. These have sacrificed youth and beauty, and the hope of -family love and joy, in the attempt to serve a race. With a calm -and reverent step they have gone into the darkest homes of poverty -and suffering to clothe the naked, to minister to the sick, to -comfort the dying, and to save the perishing.</p> - -<p>Twenty-one years ago, when this Association called for teachers -and<a class="pagenum" name="Page_35" id="Page_35">[35]</a> missionaries to submit to reproach, and obloquy, and ostracism -for the sake of these needy ones, these <em>rare</em> women, in numbers -beyond our ability to send, answered the call. And during all the -years they have stood at our doors, as they stand to-day, saying -“Send me.”</p> - -<p>The work they have done in school building, in church building, -in home building and in character building, cannot be matched in -the history of this generation, certainly, and probably not in the -history of the world.</p> - -<p>When it is remembered, that in 1863 the slaves in the South did not -own an acre of ground and had not a cent of taxable property—that -they had no right to know a letter of the alphabet, and that there -was not a legal marriage among them: but that in 1880 they were -taxed for a hundred millions of dollars—that some 800,000 of them -had learned to read, and that purer churches were teaching purer -and better morals, one can but exclaim, “What hath God wrought!”</p> - -<p>This is, largely, due to the Christian teachers and missionaries of -the American Missionary Association. No society has sent so many -of them to the field, or has so signally demonstrated the quality -and the value of their work. If the history of many of the most -promising and useful of our graduates could be written up the story -would read like romance.</p> - -<p>The draught upon mind, and heart, and body has been heavy and -exhausting. Not a few have left the service broken in health for -life, and others have paid the penalty of overwork in early graves. -All this they have not complained of; but their keenest anguish has -come from lack of that fullness and warmness of sympathy which they -had a right to expect from the whole Christian sisterhood of the -North. They ask for it now, and we ask for it in their name!</p> - -<p>Will not our Christian women re-examine this question of their duty -with reference to the elevation of the colored race, and especially -of the women of that race? There can be no sure and lasting -elevation of that people without refined and intelligent homes; and -there can be no such homes without pure and intelligent colored -women to build them. Such women can be brought forward, only as -they have pure models to imitate, and refined teachers to instruct -and guide them.</p> - -<p>Fortunately, Northern homes are full of such models and of such -teachers; and they only need the supporting word and hand of their -sisters to go forth in larger numbers, and to lay, more broadly and -grandly, the foundations of a regenerated South. They <em>know</em> that -the colored woman can be elevated by the gospel of Christ, they -<em>know</em> that she can take on culture like a garment, and be made a -power in redeeming her race.</p> - -<p>May we not, then, once more call the attention of Christian women -to this work, so peculiarly theirs, and laid upon them by so many -providential tokens?</p> - -<p><a class="pagenum" name="Page_36" id="Page_36">[36]</a></p> - -<p>It will be of interest to a large circle of friends on both sides -of the water to learn of the marriage at Prof. Geo.

IN DONATIONS FROM THE LIVING.</h3> - -<p>The receipts from living donors for the first three months of our -fiscal year amounted to $39,528.77, against $48,174.97 for the -corresponding months of the previous year, showing a falling off -of more than 17 per cent. The receipts from legacies, however, -amounted to $15,486.65, against $7,029.65 of the year before. The -total receipts for the three months ending Dec. 31st amounted to -$55,015.42, against $55,204.62 for the previous year.</p> - -<p>The Committee on Finance at Cleveland estimated that for this -year $375,000 would be wanted, against $300,000 for the year then -closed, an increase of 25 per cent. If this gain had been realized, -we should have received for the first quarter $93,750 instead -of $55,015.42, a difference of $38,734.58. The friends of this -Association will see from these figures that if the plans suggested -at our Annual Meeting are carried out, not only must the smaller -sources of contributions be augmented, but the churches having the -means to give must contribute more largely. With this in view we -take the liberty of making the following suggestions:</p> - -<p>1. That in localities where money is raised by solicitation from -a few old friends who have already taken a deep interest in the -Negroes, efforts for collecting funds be made immediately.</p> - -<p>2. In parishes where the benevolent organizations connected with -the church give no assistance to the Freedmen, we suggest that -special efforts be made in Sabbath-schools, the monthly concert -and at the annual collection, so that the amount raised for this -Association may be in due proportion to that given to the other -missionary societies supported by the Congregational churches.</p> - -<p>3. In churches that do not follow a fixed system as to time for -taking collections, we suggest that the claims of our work be -explained and urged at least once a year, and that contributions be -forwarded to us at the earliest date possible.</p> - -<p>We commend these suggestions to that thoughtful and prayerful -consideration which we believe is justified and demanded by the -necessities of the great work in which we are engaged.</p> - -<p><a class="pagenum" name="Page_37" id="Page_37">[37]</a></p> - -<hr class="chap" /> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h3>THE NATIONAL LEGISLATURE AND NATIONAL ILLITERACY.</h3> - -<p class="secauth">BY PROF. C. C. PAINTER.</p> - -<p>Broad questions of Statesmen receive tardy attention from the -average legislator because they receive but little from his -constituents, while such matters as the imposition or removal of a -tax upon cigars is to him of pressing interest, because it concerns -the “boys” who run the caucases. This is perhaps well, as questions -of policy are tentatively settled and affect only passing and -limited interests; issues that are fundamental and vital, which are -to be settled for all time, come to a full recognition slowly.</p> - -<p>Statutes are enacted as average intellects may decide, or the -balance of selfishness allow, but laws are not made, but discovered -as God has enacted, and related them to permanent interests. The -making or unmaking of the one is the facile work of charlatans -when by some mysterious providence they find their way into our -legislative halls; the discovery of the other is work for seers and -statesmen which once done is done forever.</p> - -<p>The Revised Statutes of this Congress make obsolete those of the -last, not necessarily because superior wisdom has devised better, -which must prove a permanent gain; but when a law of human society -has been recognized and so enunciated that it becomes a regulating -force, civilization has taken a forward step. The race is not -simply less disturbed and more comfortable because temporary -adjustments have been made of conflicting interests, but it is -richer and stronger because of an enduring possession, and we can -afford to labor and wait for such.</p> - -<p>Each new application of an old principle calls for a fresh -statement of the principle. That man’s personal rights are -modified by the fact of his social relations, is a truth old as -the beginning of civilized life, but that he may not suffer his -children to grow up in ignorance, is a proposition startling to -many, and practically asserted by but few of our State governments, -though it is well-known that our government itself as well as all -our social interests are put in jeopardy by the ignorant citizen -who becomes a voter.</p> - -<p>That the constitutional duty of the President to execute the laws, -and of Congress to provide for the safety of the Republic involved -the right to levy war against states, to blockade their harbors, to -emancipate their slaves, to dictate the Constitutions under which -they could resume their autonomy as States in the union, this was -recognized only in face of fearful dangers and admitted only when -established on many bloody fields of a desolating war, but is now -so familiar, so axiomatic that no one doubts the nation’s right to -defend its own life by all means which do not of themselves subvert -that life.</p> - -<p>That the safety of the Republic requires a general diffusion of -intelligence<a class="pagenum" name="Page_38" id="Page_38">[38]</a> no sane man will deny, and yet some assert that it -will subvert the fundamental principles of this government if it -practically secured this prime condition of its own life—that it -must delegate to other hands the control of conditions and facts -vital to its life, with no power or right to enforce attention to -them. The right and capacity of self-government are found only -in the virtue and intelligence of the people. If this be so, the -obligation of a free government to enforce the education of its -citizens is involved in its right to live.</p> - -<p>This obligation is recognized, or should be, in the constitutional -guarantee of a Republican form of government to each State, for -the guarantee of such a form of government carries with it the -conditions essential to it, one of which, and a prime one, is the -intelligence of the citizen. This cannot be secured by the military -arm of the nation, but by the school-master alone, who thus becomes -a constitutional officer of the republic. The proposition that a -republican form of government may be maintained by force over a -people too ignorant to maintain it for themselves is too absurd for -serious debate.</p> - -<p>The right of the national government to interfere in case a State -neglects the education of its children, seems clear on the ground -of self-protection. The duty to aid the States struggling to -accomplish this work, but unable to do it, because of its vastness, -and of its own poverty, seems also clear, and has now become urgent -in view of the appalling facts revealed in the last census.</p> - -<p>Our national Congress is constrained to hear the cry that is coming -up from all parts of the country calling attention to this duty. -Let not those who feel an interest in this, relax effort or lose -heart. It is not a measure to be adopted in a moment. It means -much; it involves much. It will bring with it new and seemingly -revolutionary conceptions of the functions of the government when -it reaches out its strong arms to defend its life, not in the sad -work of shooting down ignorant and brutalized parricides, but in -the better work of helping to qualify for their children, who are -to be charged with duties, the gravest which fall to men, and for -positions the highest to which ambition can impel them—the duties -and position of a citizen of this free republic.</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<h3 title="CONNECTICUT CONVENTIONS"></h3> - -<p>Arrangements have been made by the Missionary Society of -Connecticut to hold thirty conventions in the State, at which the -following benevolent societies supported by the Congregationalists -will be represented; American Board, American Congregational Union, -American Home Missionary Society, American Missionary Association, -American College and Education Society, New West Education -Commission, Congregational Publishing Society.

M. A.</h4> - -<p>The first school for the Freedmen was established by the American -Missionary Association. On the 17th of September, 1861, only five -months after the beginning of the war, that school was opened at -Hampton, Va., where many fugitive slaves had congregated under the -protection of the guns of Fortress Monroe. The spot overlooked -the waters on which the first slave ship entered the American -Continent. The Association steadily extended its work, until -it had founded chartered institutions in every large Southern -State;—Berea College, Berea, Ky.; Hampton Institute, Hampton, -Va.; Atlanta University, Atlanta, Ga.; Fisk University, Nashville, -Tenn.; Talladega College, Talladega, Ala.; Tougaloo University, -Tougaloo, Miss.; Straight University, New Orleans, La.; Tillotson -Collegiate and Normal Institute, Austin, Texas. Land has also been -purchased for the Edward Smith College, in Little Rock, Arkansas. -It has 49 other schools of different grades. Connected with some -of its chartered institutions are Theological, Law and Industrial -Departments. Those at Hampton, Talladega and Tougaloo, have large -farms. Chartered Institutions, 8; Normal and High Schools, 11; -Common Schools, 38; Total, 57; Teachers, 241; Students, 9,608. -Howard University, Washington, D.C., established by the Freedmen’s -Bureau, in 1882 had 29 teachers and 349 students. The theological -department is sustained mainly by the A. M. A.</p> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h4>FREEDMEN’S AID SOCIETIES.</h4> - -<p>The “Freedmen’s Aid Societies” were early organized. The first -was formed in Boston, Feb. 7th, a second in New York, Feb. 23d, -1863. Others followed rapidly—in Cincinnati, Chicago, Cleveland, -and elsewhere throughout the North, and in 1865 the teachers -employed by all the societies numbered 634. With a view to economy -and efficiency they were consolidated in 1866, in the “American -Freedmen’s Union Commission.” These societies devoted themselves -in large part at first to physical relief and the organization -of labor. But ere long, the education of the Freedmen became -their chief endeavor and they accomplished much good in the line -of secular education. But the several branches were at length -abandoned or became absorbed in the societies of the religious -organizations. The Commission itself closed in 1869.</p> - -<p><a class="pagenum" name="Page_48" id="Page_48">[48]</a></p> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h4>THE BAPTISTS.</h4> - -<p>The Baptists, who conduct their work, both educational and church, -among the Freedmen, through their Home Missionary Society, entered -early into the establishment of schools; beginning in the Spring of -1862 with schools at St. Helena and Beaufort, S.C., and afterwards -adding others at Fortress Monroe, Washington, Knoxville and New -Orleans. Missionaries were appointed to preach, and to teach -day-schools, and assistants, both male and female, were sent out; -from 3,000 to 5,000 pupils were taught yearly, until about 1872, -when the secular or day-school system was given up, and efforts -concentrated on permanent or higher institutions, some of which -had been planted in 1865. In 1882, the Society has under its -care 12 schools as follows: Wayland Seminary, Washington, D.C.; -Richmond Institute, Richmond, Va.; Shaw University, Raleigh, N.C.; -Benedict Institute, Columbia, S.C.; Atlanta Seminary, Atlanta, -Ga.; Nashville Institute, Nashville, Tenn.; Leland University, New -Orleans, La.; Natchez Seminary, Natchez, Miss.; Alabama Normal -and Theological School at Selma, Ala.; Florida Institute, Live -Oak, Fla.; Bishop College, Marshall, Tex.; Louisville Normal and -Theological School, Louisville, Kentucky. Normal instruction is -given in most of the schools; industrial education in several; and -Biblical instruction in all. In four institutions a collegiate -course is pursued. Five are chartered institutions. In 1882, -Schools, 12; Teachers, 79; Pupils, 2,397. The Free Will Baptists -have an excellent institution, Storer College, at Harper’s Ferry, -W. Va., with 5 Teachers and 245 Students.</p> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h4>THE FRIENDS.</h4> - -<p>The Friends, true to the principles of the founder of their -denomination, George Fox, entered at once the opened door for -relieving the physical necessities of the Freedmen, and at length -established schools among them; but when the public schools -furnished the education, they gradually withdrew. They now maintain -Southland College, Helena, Ark., with 277 Pupils, a school in -Maryville, Tenn., with 13 Instructors and 211 Pupils, and one in -Philadelphia with 291 Pupils, with the supervision of 22 other -schools in the South sustained for several months in the year. The -Friends (Hicksite), entered the work in 1862, furnishing supplies -at first, afterwards sustaining schools numbering at one time 25. -They now have one school with 150 scholars.</p> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h4>THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.</h4> - -<p>The Methodist Episcopal Church had from the first co-operated with -the undenominational Aid Societies in the care of the Freedmen, in -relieving physical suffering and in giving instruction in primary -education. But it concentrated its efforts by the organization, in -Cincinnati, Aug. 6, 1866, of “The Freedmen’s Aid Society of the -Methodist Episcopal Church.” This Society now reports six chartered -institutions, viz.: Central Tennessee College, Nashville, Tenn.; -Clark University, Atlanta, Ga.; Claflin University, Orangeburg, -S.C.; New Orleans University, New Orleans, La.; Rust University, -Holly Springs, Miss.; Wiley University, Marshall, Texas. Four -theological schools, viz.: Centenary Biblical Institute, Baltimore, -Md.; Gammon Theological Seminary, Atlanta, Ga.; Baker Institute, -Orangeburg, S.C., and Thomson Biblical Institute, New Orleans, La. -One medical college, viz., Meharry Medical College, Nashville, -Tenn.; and 14 institutions not chartered. Total number of -institutions, 35; teachers, 95; pupils, 3,506. It gives special -attention to Biblical instruction, and at Clark University a -Department of Industry is established. The African Methodist -Episcopal Church founded and sustained Wilberforce University at -Xenia, Ohio, with 13 teachers and 170 students.</p> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h4>THE PRESBYTERIANS.</h4> - -<p>The “Presbyterian Committee of Missions for Freedmen,” was -organized by the General Assembly in 1865 and began its work -at once, by sending preachers and<a class="pagenum" name="Page_49" id="Page_49">[49]</a> teachers to the South. Its -efforts thus far are confined to the two Carolinas, Virginia and -Tennessee, with a few missions and schools in Georgia, Kentucky -and Florida. It has under its care three chartered institutions: -Biddle University, Charlotte, N.C. (with a Theological -Department), Wallingford Academy, Charleston, S.C., and Scotia -Seminary, Concord, N.C.; 2 normal schools; 3 graded schools, and -50 parochial schools. Total number of schools, 58; teachers, -108; scholars, 6,088. Lincoln University (Lincoln University P. -O.), Oxford, Pa., has an able corps of 13 professors and 200 -students—18 theological, 100 collegiate, 82 preparatory. The -United Presbyterians have two schools, one in Abbyville, Va., with -4 teachers and 245 students, the other in Chase City, Va., with 3 -teachers and 251 students.</p> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h4>THE EPISCOPALIANS.</h4> - -<p>The “Protestant Episcopal Freedmen’s Commission” was organized -October, 1865, and in a few months it opened schools in Petersburg, -Va., Wilmington and Raleigh, N.C. The first year the teachers -numbered 23, and the scholars, day and night, 1,600. The Committee -for Domestic Missions (under whose care this work now is), reported -in 1882, 2 normal schools with 8 teachers each, and 11 schools with -one teacher each. The normal schools are at Raleigh, N.C., and at -Petersburg, Va.</p> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h4>THE ROMAN CATHOLICS.</h4> - -<p>The Catholic Directory for 1882 reports for the Archdiocese of -Baltimore 1 academy for colored girls, with 60 pupils, and 4 other -schools with 693 pupils; total, 753; Archdiocese of New Orleans, -7 schools, 330 pupils; Archdiocese of St. Louis, 1 school, 120 -pupils; Diocese of Louisville, 6 schools, 332 pupils; Diocese of -Natchez, 3 schools, 80 pupils; Diocese of Natchitoches, 2 schools, -40 pupils; Diocese of Savannah, 2 schools, 75 pupils; Diocese -of St. Augustine, 6 schools, number of pupils not given.

Roy, D.D., Field Superintendent.</span></p> - -<p class="secauth"><span class="smcap">Prof. Albert Salisbury, Superintendent of Education.</span></p> - -<hr class="chap" /> - - -<h3>THE HEMENWAY FARM.</h3> - -<p class="secauth">BY GEN. S. C. ARMSTRONG.</p> - -<p>In 1878, when the 150 acres of arable land of the Hampton Institute -could offer no more farm work to the increasing number of negro -and Indian students, a generous lady, of Boston, Mass., gave, -principally for the benefit of the Indians, the sum of nine -thousand dollars, to purchase a fine grass and grain farm of 350 -acres, five miles from the school, to which was added, by purchase, -250 acres more, and to it has been given the name “Hemenway Farm,” -as a memorial to the husband of the giver.</p> - -<p>It was placed in charge of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. H. Vanison, both -graduates of Hampton, but has been under the general control of Mr. -Albert Howe, formerly of Dorchester, Mass., manager of the Normal -School farm.</p> - -<p>During the three and a half summer (vacation) months, the sixty -Indian boys, excepting about one-third who go to Berkshire Co., -Mass., to work with the farmers, spend by turns, in squads of -twelve or fifteen, two weeks at a time at this farm, taking part -in the stock and farming operations, which are carried on on -a<a class="pagenum" name="Page_50" id="Page_50">[50]</a> larger and simpler scale than at the school. They thus get -a wholesome change from life in the workshops, besides useful, -practical knowledge. A general knowledge of agriculture and stock -is important for those who are learning trades.</p> - -<p>The steady working force of the farm is composed of from eight to -ten colored boys, who begin October 1st each year, working till the -next October, ten hours a day, studying every night from seven till -nine o’clock, under the direction of Mrs. Vanison. They receive, -besides their board, from $8 to $10 a month, which, excepting $3 a -month for clothing, they are expected to save to pay future school -expenses. They are an ignorant, destitute class, but, as a rule, -are most willing, earnest and deserving students. After working all -day, they study harder at night than any others in the school. Ten -hours of handling lumber at the saw-mill, or steady work on the -farm, or in the machine shop, is no trifling duty, but they are -eager for their night lessons.</p> - -<p>The ten at the Hemenway Farm are a part of 130 “work students,” -thirty of them girls, employed in the various industrial -departments, constituting about one-third of the colored pupils -at Hampton. They devote a preliminary year to day labor and night -study, to fit themselves to enter the junior class of this year’s -course, and to accumulate a small fund, averaging $75 for the year, -to help meet cost of board, ten dollars a month, besides clothing -and books. This is done in part by working two days each week of -the regular course. With strict economy and working all vacations, -they maintain themselves through the entire course graduating -without receiving a dollar in charity, some, however, need help the -last year and none are more worthy of it.</p> - -<p>The effect on their characters is excellent. Good as it is, that -they shall earn and learn in this way, it is even better for the -habits, ideas and manliness it promotes. The entire class is -mature, averaging 19 years of age. Mr. Vanison is as excellent a -manager as we care to have; his wife keeps house, sees to the boys’ -meals, rooms and washing, and teaches them nights, besides raising -some 500 chickens, at which she has a wonderful “knack.”</p> - -<p>The farm was cultivated last year as follows; 75 acres in wheat, -80 acres in oats, 112 in corn, 35 in clover and orchard grass, -the rest in pasture, a few acres being devoted to vegetables and -an orchard. Much was done in clearing old ditch banks. The stock -consists of 50 hogs and pigs, 110 sheep and lambs, 6 colts, and -from 10 to 20 beef cattle, which are <a id="Err1" name="Err1"></a>bought in the neighborhood, -fattened on the pasture and killed at the school, two or three a -week being required there.</p> - -<p>The Hemenway farm, of 600 acres, some 60 acres of it marshy, is -situated in Elizabeth City County, on Bach River, which is an -estuary half a mile in width. The house is a famous, but plain, -old Southern mansion, in which Gen. Washington once dined. Until -1878 it had been for many generations in the hands of an old -aristocratic family, whom the war impoverished, and their place -was sold for debt. The location is a beautiful one; the region is -quite Englishlike in appearance, with its rich, level fields and -its hedge-rows. In summer, delicious breezes blow up the river from -Chesapeake Bay, four miles distant.</p> - -<p>Oysters and fish abound in its water front; a handsome lawn and -fine old trees surround the house, all of which are a delight to -the boys, especially to the Indians, who have long summer mornings.</p> - -<p>The past season a plain but pretty cottage was added to the old -house, which was too small, containing a dining-room, kitchen, -laundry, and bedrooms for the boys upstairs. This leaves rooms, as -was intended by the giver, for tired teachers to come and rest for -a night from the cares and din of the institute, to whom the quiet -and beauty of “Shellbanks,” its former name, is a great comfort. -I must not forget to mention the ample barn, stable, cow-shed, -tool-house, corn-crib, extensive stacks of straw, and wind-mill for -pumping water for the stock.</p> - -<p><a class="pagenum" name="Page_51" id="Page_51">[51]</a></p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 500px;"> -<img src="images/hemenway.jpg" width="500" height="287" alt="" /> -<p class="caption center">HEMENWAY FARM.</p> -</div> - -<p><a class="pagenum" name="Page_52" id="Page_52">[52]</a></p> - -<p>This is entirely a negro affair; no white person lives on the -place.

S. ALEXANDER, D.D.</p> - -<p>It has been our custom in previous years to begin our special -religious meetings the first of January in connection with the -“Week of Prayer.” But this year the Church seemed in readiness at -an earlier date, and we felt that we were obeying the call of the -Lord to “go forward” when we began our special effort to reach the -impenitent, on the night of December 1st. The Friday preceding had -been observed as a day of fasting and prayer. For many days the -spirit of prayer and consecration had been evidently deepening upon -the part of the great majority of the Lord’s people. People who, -for some trivial reason, had been alienated, came together in the -spirit of forgiveness. A great desire was expressed, and I have no -doubt felt, to prepare the way for the coming of the Lord. Our lady -missionary with unsurpassed devotion, visited all the families of -the congregation, making in the short space of ten weeks some 600 -visits. The effort was made to reach every one who sustained even -a nominal relation to our church, as a member or casual attendant, -and invite him to our revival services.</p> - -<p>The result was all and more than we anticipated. The church was -thronged every night. The very first night several presented -themselves for prayer. The number of inquirers increased till we -counted more than fifty. One by one, with a quietness and depth -of feeling that impressed every heart, these earnest inquirers -came into the light, and were made to “rejoice in hope of the -glory of God.” The two manly and dearly beloved sons of the Dean -of our Faculty, were among the first to share in the blessings of -the revival. God only knows our joy when they came forward with -the rest, and bowed before God as suppliants for His mercy and -forgiveness. Never did the words of Holy Writ, which have fallen -from the lips of so many believers, sound sweeter than when one of -these young men recited as his verse at the breakfast table, the -morning after his conversion, “I know that my Redeemer liveth.”</p> - -<p>A pleasant and somewhat unusual feature of this revival has been -its influence upon the men. On more than one occasion we counted -twelve men on the “Mourners’ seats.” Thirty-four professed -conversion. We hope and believe they have been “born again.” A -class of 35 are waiting in joyful anticipation of taking the vows -of God upon them in the Church, and of receiving their “first -communion.”</p> - -<p>I should do injustice to my own feelings did I not speak of the -earnest sympathy and hearty co-operation of all the teachers in the -University in this religious movement. We moved in this matter as a -united body, with but one object in view: the glory of God, and the -upbuilding of the Kingdom of His Son.</p> - -<p><a class="pagenum" name="Page_53" id="Page_53">[53]</a></p> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h3>ADDITIONAL REPORT OF THE REVIVAL.</h3> - -<p class="secauth">PROF. R. C. HITCHCOCK.</p> - -<p>The revival which has been in progress for several weeks at Central -Church has been to me a constant wonder. Even in sedate old -Connecticut a revival season is usually a scene of much emotional -excitement, and it is often impossible to tell how much is sincere -and permanent; but this revival has been all through marked by a -quiet, deep and reverential character. It was my first opportunity -for observation of such meetings among the colored people. I had -heard and read a great deal of the tumultuous excitement on such -occasions, and each night I looked to see, when they should be -fairly “warmed up,” such scenes as I had had pictured. What I -actually did see was this. Each night the pastor preached a short, -practical gospel sermon, packed full with reasons why religion -should be chosen and chosen now, to an earnest, attentive audience. -Then he stepped down in front, and in kind but strong words invited -all who felt the truth of what had been said and wished to become -Christians, to come forward for conversation and the prayers of -the church. Most of those who accepted the invitation were men of -middle age and young men; a few were young ladies.</p> - -<p>Night after night this went on; while the pastor and others were -talking with those who came forward, the audience engaged in -singing. No general invitation was given to speak or pray, a few -only being called on each night to take part. Each night some -souls found peace and joy. It was my good fortune to talk with -nearly every one of the converts, and I found all, so far as I -could judge, thoroughly in earnest; no one scared or urged into -confessions, but each, as the new hope was born in his soul, -rising, generally with streaming eyes, to tell what God had done -for him and ask for fellowship and prayerful help.</p> - -<hr class="chap" /> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h3>SCHOOL AND CHURCH WORK AT FAYETTEVILLE, ARK.</h3> - -<p class="secauth">BY REV. B. F. FOSTER.</p> - -<p>We began work here on the 5th of September, and opened school -under very favorable auspices. We have had 92 pupils enrolled. -Our school is the only one for colored children within a radius -of 65 miles. We are giving some attention to church work, and are -using our school-house as a place of worship. We have service -every Sabbath morning at eleven o’clock—the audiences are -large. We are gratified to say that the influence of the teachers -takes fast hold upon both parent and pupil. We have Sunday-school -every afternoon at three o’clock, and these services are largely -attended. Thanksgiving day was appropriately commemorated. A -sermon was preached in the morning by the missionary pastor. All -who were present seemed deeply impressed with the word. The chapel -was beautifully and tastefully festooned with autumn leaves and -berries, and the walls were embellished with appropriate mottoes -of the sacred Scriptures. At seven o’clock in the evening a very -large number of patrons and friends of the school gathered, and -partook of a repast prepared as a thanksgiving token for them by -the teachers and pupils. Toasts were responded to by the several -pastors of the town and teachers. I said we had service in our -chapel at 11 <span class="smcap lowercase">A.M.</span> every Sunday. We could induce as many -to come in the evening if we had lamps to light up our chapel. -Equally as good results would come from a weekly prayer-meeting, if -we had sufficient lights. We heartily accept this opportunity of -asking the friends of some of our Northern churches to give us of -their old ones—chandelier lamps. The Lord’s Supper was celebrated -the first time, since beginning our work here, last Sunday. Truly, -the<a class="pagenum" name="Page_54" id="Page_54">[54]</a> Lord was with his people on that solemn occasion. At this -service the missionary pastor’s first and only little daughter was -baptized, which increased the interest of the meeting. To carry -this blessed Supper to Christ’s brethren and sisters, Mrs. Foster’s -pie-pans were used for the emblems of his body, and two borrowed -mugs for the emblem of his blood. From this the friends of God’s -poor will see we would thank them very much to assist us in getting -a communion set. The people among whom we are working are very -poor. Few of them have homes.</p> - -<hr class="full" /> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h2>THE CHINESE.</h2> - -<p class="secauth"><span class="smcap">Rev. W. C. Pond, Superintendent.</span></p> - -<hr class="chap" /> - - -<h3>MISSION WORK—GOOD RESULTS.</h3> - -<p><span class="smcap">Sacramento Mission.</span>—Mrs. Rilla Carrington, who for the -last three years has most faithfully and successfully conducted the -Sacramento Mission, is required by the state of her health to take -a vacation. It will be only a vacation, and I hope and expect that -two or three months of recuperation will bring her back fresh and -strong, and good for another three years of steady and faithful -service. During her absence, her sister will take her place, and -will fill it well. In communicating her desire for this respite, -she indulges in some reminiscences which, I am sure, will interest -our readers. “During the past three years and a quarter, more than -450 have, for a longer or shorter period, been members of our -Sacramento school. I would that all who come with us in the school -could remain until they are converted and ready to work for the -salvation of their people. We know of the good service of many who -have gone out from us to visit their homes. For instance, Fong Get -Roy, who wrote you something of his work while in China: he has -not ceased to labor for Christ since his return; Fong Gee, whose -father, now dead, was a heathen priest, was always zealous while -here with us; sometimes speaking to his country-men for an hour or -more at a time, showing them, in the most ridiculous light, the -folly of idol and ancestral worship, and holding up Christ as the -only hope of salvation. His health gave out, and he was compelled -to return to China—being helped by the brethren of San Francisco -and Sacramento to do so. There he is working at his trade for a -mere pittance, and giving what time he can for the conversion of -his country-men. Wong Loung visited his home a year ago, and was -married, in accordance with Chinese customs, to one to whom he -had been betrothed in childhood by his parents. Because he had -renounced the religion of his fathers, he suffered much indignity -from members of his family—the persecutions becoming so great he -was obliged to leave home. But the result was that he returned to -America more determined than ever to hold fast to Christ. Louis -Sing, too, was under great pressure while in China to take part in -worship with his relations, but could not, he said, because he knew -the uselessness of such worship. We hear of Gwan Lee, our organist, -as standing firm amidst the powers of darkness—holding fast to the -living faith. He is one of those whom the present law prohibits -from returning to this country. We all feel as though we could not -give him up, and that some way must be found by which he may come -back.</p> - -<p>“We are not only made glad by work done far away, but workers are -here with us—true hearts that love to do something for Jesus -every day. Several have joined the Association this year; among -them, Fong Bow, who is one of the class for whom I requested your -prayers several months ago. He seemed to have much to hold him -back; outside influence made it hard for him to decide. He has -been <a class="pagenum" name="Page_55" id="Page_55">[55]</a>a member of the school so long that we feel more than usually -happy in his coming. May we not hope and still pray, in faith, for -the other members of the class? This mission work is ever a source -of comfort and pleasure to me, and I know I cannot remain away from -it if blessed with health.”</p> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h3>LOU QUONG, ON HEATHEN PRAYERS AND REAL PRAYER.</h3> - -<p>Each Wednesday afternoon I meet the Chinese helpers in the schools -of this city for a drill in Bible study, and to receive and remark -upon the sketches of sermons, which they have prepared during the -week. Here is one which Lou Quong brought in yesterday. James 5:16.</p> - -<p>“The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”</p> - -<p>My subject is all on prayer to-day, and it is very needful to all -Christians, especially to those who really mean to be the followers -of the Lord Jesus, and to be workers in the Master’s field. I -will mention a few things of the heathen prayers, which were -occasionally offered to the heathen gods in China as well as in -this city. So far as I can judge there is no true prayer which was -ever offered to their gods, and I, having been born in a heathen -nation, therefore know them well. Each certain prayer belongs to a -certain god. You cannot take one god’s prayer to pray to others; if -you do, you will get no blessing, because you got the wrong prayer, -their prayers not having to come from the heart, but being learned -only from the history of a certain god, so they mostly repeat the -words as near as they can remember. There is not a single prayer -that really comes from the heart. They come only from the lips; -and besides this, when they pray, they do not, like our Christian -people, pray for bad and good, and even for our enemies, and for -all nations; their prayers are only for a certain thing, a certain -matter, for riches, for honors, and for glory, and to have more -sons born than girls; for their father and mother, brothers and -sisters, that they might have a long life. If they have any one -which they do not like, they would pray their God to destroy his -whole family. By this we know that such a prayer our true God will -not hear, but rather punish them. I have a great deal more to say -about the heathen prayer, but I have no time for it just now. So I -must go on to the true prayer, which our Lord Jesus Christ taught -his disciples to say. Yet even such a true and short prayer as -that, which we have repeated every evening in our schools, many of -us would forget before we go to bed at night. This won’t do, my -Christian brethren. We must give all our hearts to God before we -shut our eyes. We cannot pray to God for a certain thing that must -be done while our hearts are on something else, or are doubting -whether God could hear us or not. Suppose to-morrow you intend to -go out and look for a place, so you would pray to God to help you -and to give you one, and you believe he will do it, and then when -to-morrow comes you would lie in bed until afternoon. Then you got -up, thinking that was too late, and would not go. This, indeed, -would make you think that God did not hear your prayer last night. -This is the whole trouble that sometimes God don’t answer our -prayer; but I am very sure that God has heard all my prayers and -has answered all which are for good. When we have a certain matter -that we cannot manage at all, and when we would bring it to God, we -must first make our hearts ready to pray and then without doubting -draw out the true thoughts of our hearts and feel that God is above -us and Jesus is on one side. Then comes the Holy Spirit into our -hearts to teach us how to pray. After we got up from prayer I am -sure we can feel that we were heard, and if we are not answered -on a certain hour we must wait and pray without ceasing until it -comes, for God not, like man, would fail you sometime. This is the -kind of prayer that God does hear. So James says, “The effectual, -fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much;” that is, God does -always hear and answer the true prayer.</p> - -<hr class="full" /> - -<p><a class="pagenum" name="Page_56" id="Page_56">[56]</a></p> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h2>CHILDREN’S PAGE.</h2> - - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 389px;"> -<img src="images/missionaries.jpg" width="389" height="500" alt="Man and Children" /> -</div> - - -<h3>MISSIONARY MUSIC.</h3> - -<div class="poem"><div class="stanza"> -<span class="i0">Have you ever brought a penny to the missionary box—<br /></span> -<span class="i0">A penny which you might have spent like other little folks?<br /></span> -<span class="i0">And when it falls among the rest, have you ever heard a ring,<br /></span> -<span class="i0">Like a pleasant sound of welcome which the other pennies sing?<br /></span> -</div><div class="stanza"> -<span class="i0">This is missionary music, and it has a pleasant sound,<br /></span> -<span class="i0">For pennies make a shilling, and shillings make a pound;<br /></span> -<span class="i0">And many pounds together the gospel news will send,<br /></span> -<span class="i0">Which tell the distant heathen that the Saviour is their Friend.<br /></span> -</div><div class="stanza"> -<span class="i0">And oh! what joyous music is the missionary song,<br /></span> -<span class="i0">When it seems to come from every heart and sounds from every tongue—<br /></span> -<span class="i0">When happy Christian little ones all sing with one accord<br /></span> -<span class="i0">Of the time when realms of darkness shall be kingdoms of the Lord!<br /></span> -</div><div class="stanza"> -<span class="i0">But sweeter far than all, which Jesus loves to hear,<br /></span> -<span class="i0">Are children’s voices when they breathe a missionary prayer—<br /></span> -<span class="i0">When they bring the heart-petition to the great Redeemer’s throne,<br /></span> -<span class="i0">That He will choose the heathen out, and take them for His own.<br /></span> -</div><div class="stanza"> -<span class="i0">This is the music Jesus taught when he was here below;<br /></span> -<span class="i0">This is the music Jesus loves to hear in glory now;<br /></span> -<span class="i0">And many a one from, distant lands will reach His heavenly home,<br /></span> -<span class="i0">In answer to the children’s prayer, “O Lord, Thy kingdom come!”<br /></span> -</div><div class="stanza"> -<span class="i0">Then, missionary children, let this music never cease;<br /></span> -<span class="i0">Work on, work on in earnest, for the Lord, the Prince of Peace;<br /></span> -<span class="i0">There is praying work and paying work for every heart and hand,<br /></span> -<span class="i0">Till the missionary chorus shall go forth through all the land.<br /></span> -</div></div> - -<p class="right">—<cite>Selected.</cite></p> - -<hr class="full" /> - -<p><a class="pagenum" name="Page_57" id="Page_57">[57]</a></p> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h2>RECEIPTS FOR DECEMBER, 1882.</h2> - - -<hr class="chap" /> - - -<table class="receipts"> -<tr><td class="statehead" colspan="2">MAINE, $524.18.</td></tr> - -<tr> -<td class="sub1">Alfred.
