We have from the first put great stress -on the importance of abstinence from the use of alcoholic drinks -and tobacco, and the encouraging reports given herewith indicate -the success we have achieved. We publish also a concert exercise -relating chiefly to temperance work in the missions of the A. M. A. -It is our purpose to issue this in an eight-page circular which -will contain the recitations in full, and the words and music of -the Jubilee song known as <cite>Rise and Shine</cite>. The circular will be -illustrated with cuts. Further particulars are given in connection -with the concert exercise on another page.</p> - - -<hr class="chap" /> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h3>BUREAU OF WOMAN’S WORK.</h3> - -<p>It has become an axiom in missionary work that no race can be -lifted out of ignorance and degradation except as its women are -elevated. One of the marked features of this age in mission work -is the clearness with which this is seen and the enthusiastic and -successful efforts put forth by the noble women of the churches -in this behalf. It is not merely the money which these efforts -bring to the missionary societies, but the zeal for the conversion -of the world infused by them into the church and the home. The -Christian mother catches the enthusiasm, and the children feel its -inspiration. Missionary education becomes the life-work in the -family.</p> - -<p>The American Missionary Association has from the outset realized -the indispensable need of the elevation of woman in its work in -the South, among the Indians, and, as far as possible, among -the Chinese at the West.<a class="pagenum" name="Page_130" id="Page_130">[130]</a> Its workers, largely women, have been -specially adapted to it. The lady teachers have reached not merely -the girls in their schools, but the mothers in their homes. The -lady missionaries have labored for the purification of the home -through direct visits, in mothers’ meetings, in industrial work -taught to the girls, in the Sunday-school, and in temperance work. -We have become so impressed with the importance and success of -this part of our work that we are constrained to give it a broader -basis and a more thorough organization. Our aim is not only to do -more work for woman, but to give the Christian ladies of the North -and West more full information as to the way in which they can -co-operate with us. We wish to show that not only in varied ways, -but with small sums of money they can reach the women for whom we -labor.</p> - -<p>To attain these results the Executive Committee of the A. M. A. has -organized a <span class="smcap">Bureau of Woman’s Work</span>. The object is:</p> - -<p>1. To give information to the ladies in the churches of the variety -of work now sustained by the Association, and to assist in devising -plans of help.</p> - -<p>2. To promote correspondence with churches, Sabbath-schools, -missionary societies, or individuals, who will undertake work of a -special character, such as the support of missionaries, aiding of -students, supplying clothing, furnishing goods, and meeting other -wants on mission ground.</p> - -<p>3. To send to the Churches, Conferences or Associations desiring it -some of our experienced and intelligent lady missionaries, who can -address them giving fuller details of our methods.</p> - -<p>We believe that such a Bureau will meet a felt want and be welcomed -by the earnest Christian women of the country. The selection of -the head of the Bureau will be made and announced soon, and in the -meantime inquiries can be addressed to Bureau of Woman’s Work, -American Missionary Association, 56 Reade street, New York.</p> - -<hr class="chap" /> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h3 title="MOZART SOCIETY OF FISK UNIVERSITY"></h3> -<p><span class="smcap">The</span> Mozart Society of Fisk University tendered a -complimentary concert to the members of the Tennessee Legislature. -The invitation was accepted; and on the evening of March 15, the -members with their ladies, and other friends to the number of -three or four hundred, filled the University chapel.

H. S. DE FOREST, D.D.</p> - -<p>The Cong. S. S. Association held its fourth, and the State -Conference its eighth, annual meeting in the chapel at Talladega -from the 23d to the 28th of March. This body, hereafter to be known -as the Congregational Association of Alabama, numbers thirteen -Churches, two in the northern part of the State being associated -with the Central South Conference of Tennessee. Seven of these -fifteen Alabama churches have grown out of Talladega College. -Naturally the desire to see the mother church was strong, and more -than eighty delegates and guests were in attendance. From beyond -the State, we had Supt. Roy, Rev. A. E. Dunning of Boston and Mrs. -A. S. Steele of Chattanooga, to each of whom the Conference is -indebted for efficient help. Sec. Dunning, the first of all our -society secretaries to visit the body, preached a sermon before -the Sunday-school Association good enough and fervid enough to -direct much of the thought of the four days that followed. His -theme was “The Holy Ghost the Source of Power,” and while much -in these meetings was delightful, nothing gave such hallowed -experiences or left such tender memories as the manifest presence -of God. Some thought they were breathing a revival atmosphere, and -one, it is hoped, who took that occasion to visit a daughter in -college, will regard Talladega as the Damascus gate. Other sermons -were by Rev. R. C. Bedford of Montgomery, by Rev. O. D. Crawford -of Mobile, before the sacrament, and by Dr. Roy at the ordination -of Rev. J. R. Sims of Shelby Iron Works, one of the sons of this -theological department and Church. These sermons were spoken and -not read. The aim of the preachers was evidently to do good on the -spot and at that time. There was little talk about the new light, -but a profound conviction that in these dark places there is need -of the light of the Gospel. The programme had been prepared with -a practical intent. Different phases of the Sunday-school work -took the strength of the first day. One evening was given to the -Sunday-school and Publishing Society and the American Missionary -Association, when the speakers were Sec. Dunning and Dr. Roy. -Another evening was devoted to missions, home and foreign. The -addresses were by Rev. A. W. Curtis and Rev. C. B. Curtis, who -have a brother in the foreign field, and one of whom was a home -missionary before coming South.</p> - -<p>Such themes as Giving and Worship, Through what Societies—not -less than seven it was claimed, Is our Worship too Formal and -Unimpassioned, Temperance Economy and Industrial Education, were -well presented and discussed. Prof. Ellis read a very suggestive -paper on the Reciprocal Relation of the College to the Churches -of Alabama. The recommendations of this paper were indorsed by -special resolutions, and it is evident that Talladega College, -first and foremost<a class="pagenum" name="Page_135" id="Page_135">[135]</a> among the schools open to Freedmen in Alabama, -was never more strongly intrenched in the love of the brethren than -now. Two hundred and ninety pupils have been in attendance during -the last year, and new buildings and appliances are called for. -Many and tender references were made to Prof. Andrews, temporarily -absent from ill-health, and he was a dull observer who could attend -these meetings, look upon these ministers, delegates, students and -graduates of the College, hear their words and drink their spirit, -and not feel that work in these reconstructing States is as heroic, -as hopeful, as imperative as any done in the great vineyard of the -Lord.</p> - -<hr class="chap" /> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h3>LOUISIANA ASSOCIATION.</h3> - -<h4>Annual Meeting at New Iberia, La.</h4> - -<p class="secauth">BY REV. W. S. ALEXANDER, D.D.</p> - -<p>This is the seventh annual meeting of this association I have -attended, and I am glad to be able to say that for sustained -interest, for vigorous thought expressed in the discussions, and -for wise planning for the future, the meeting of this year outranks -the previous ones. This is as it should be. It shows a degree of -study and fidelity on the part of the ministers which promises well -for the churches.</p> - -<p>We are always glad to come to this beautiful Teche country. These -broad prairies are fertile as a garden. The soil is so easy of -cultivation, and yields such abundant harvests, and its market -value is so low, that it is within the power of every industrious -man to be a “proprietor of the soil,” and to own his homestead. -That is what the colored people are doing in this garden district -of the State, and it tells upon the character of the people and the -respect which they claim from the community.</p> - -<p>It has been a year of quiet growth in most of the churches. Central -Church of New Orleans reports the largest accession, 46, of whom 40 -came on profession of faith—the ingathering of the revival of last -winter. Some of the churches have been repaired and beautified; -debts have been paid off, or greatly reduced; disturbing elements -have been eliminated, and the way opened for a larger and more -healthful growth in the coming year.</p> - -<p>One new church has been organized at Belle Place, near New Iberia, -and by the timely help of the A. M. A. will soon put up a tasteful -chapel, and will become, we hope, the center of religious influence -for a large colored population. Mr. Samson, the white planter, -encourages the enterprise by kind words and generous donations.</p> - -<p>There are other open doors which we should enter at once. We can -hear the word of command: “Go up and possess the land.” How much -good a little financial aid would do just now in the beginning of -church enterprises, which, by God’s help, would grow into important -centers of good for the race.</p> - -<p>I believe so thoroughly in the comity of churches, that where -the field is already occupied by other churches, and vigorously -cultivated by them, and the religious needs of the people are met, -I would not favor the establishment of another church, though its -creed and polity were more to our inclination. But the field is so -broad, and the destitution so great, that there is room for the -expenditure of the largest sympathy and the most vigorous effort -toward church enlargement. This missionary spirit was felt by the -Association, and the session of most tender interest was the last, -when the broad subject of missions was presented by eight speakers -selected by the business committee. The meeting had a glow to it -that was refreshing. Every one seemed to catch the inspiration and -to respond heartily to it.</p> - -<p>Our field agent, Dr. Roy, always welcome, and always charged with -just the<a class="pagenum" name="Page_136" id="Page_136">[136]</a> message which these churches and brethren need, brought -to us again this year, vigorous words, wise counsels, and the -kindest, most sympathetic spirit. Our association would hardly seem -complete without him.</p> - -<p>Thus another year of effort, of struggle and of self-denial for -Christ, has left its record upon the churches, and has, we trust, -made a record in heaven, which we shall be willing to meet.</p> - -<hr class="full" /> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h2 title="BROADSIDE ON TEMPERANCE"></h2> - -<h3>CONCERT EXERCISE.</h3> - -<p>[This Concert Exercise will be enlarged and published in separate -form, and supplied gratuitously to any who may wish it for concert -purposes, on application to Rev.

And the angel of the Lord said to the mother of Sampson: -“Thou shalt bear a son. Beware and drink not wine nor strong drink; -for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God to the day of his -death.” Judges 13:3, 4, 7.</p> - -<p>Boys. “We will drink no wine, for Jonadab, the son of Rachab, our -father, commanded us, saying, ye shall drink no wine, neither ye -nor your sons forever.” Jer. 35:6.</p> - -<p>Leader. “It is not for kings to drink wine, nor for princes strong -drink.” Prov. 31:4.</p> - -<p>Girls. “Lest they drink and forget law and pervert the judgment of -any of the afflicted.” Prov. 31:5.</p> - -<p>Boys. “Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of -nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength and not for -drunkenness.” Eccl. 10:17.</p> - -<p>Leader. “They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall -be bitter to them that drink it.” Isa. 24:9.</p> - -<p>Girls. “For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty; and -drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.” Prov. 23:21.</p> - -<p>Boys. “Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor -extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.” I Cor. 6:10.</p> - -<p>Leader. “Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who -hath babblings? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of -eyes?” Prov. 23:29.</p> - -<p>Girls. “They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek -mixed wine.” Prov. 23:30.</p> - -<p>Boys. “At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an -adder.” Prov. 23:32.</p> - -<p>Leader. “But now I have written unto you, not to keep company, if -any man that is called a brother be an idolater, or a railer, or a -drunkard; with such a one, no, not to eat.” I Cor. 5:11.</p> - -<p>Girls. “Restore such an one in the spirit of meekness, considering -thyself, lest thou also be tempted.” Gal. 6:1.</p> - -<p>Boys. “Young men likewise, exhort to be sober minded.” Titus 2:6.</p> - -<p>Leader. “And every man that striveth for the mastery, is temperate -in all things.” I Cor. 9:25.</p> - -<p><a class="pagenum" name="Page_137" id="Page_137">[137]</a></p> - -<p>Girls. “Therefore let us not sleep as do others; but let us watch -and be sober.” I Thes. 5:6.</p> - -<p>Boys. “For they that sleep, sleep in the night; and they that be -drunken, are drunken in the night.” I Thes. 5:7.</p> - -<p>Leader. “Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do -all to the glory of God.” 1 Cor. 10:31.</p> - -<p>Prayer.</p> - -<p>Singing.</p> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h4>POSITION SUSTAINED BY A. M. A.</h4> - -<p>Leader. What has been the attitude of the American Missionary -Association since its organization in 1846 on the temperance -question?</p> - -<p>Girls. It has always taken a decided stand against the use and the -sale of intoxicating drink.</p> - -<p>Boys. Its missionaries have been instructed to advocate the -cause of temperance, and to organize societies to promote total -abstinence from the use of alcoholic drink.</p> - -<p>Leader. Does the Association assist missionaries, or students, who -refuse to abstain from the use of ardent spirits?</p> - -<p>Girls. It is the rule of the Society in its work among the Indians, -the Chinese in America, and the Negroes at the South, to employ -only those who have good habits and settled convictions on all -moral subjects, including that of temperance.</p> - -<p>Boys. In its collegiate and normal schools, where there are large -numbers of boarding students, all are required to observe habits of -total abstinence.</p> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h4>TEMPERANCE WORK AMONG INDIANS.</h4> - -<p>Leader. Have the Indians been subject to peculiar temptations to -intemperance?</p> - -<p>Girls. Yes. On many of the reservations, our agents complain that -whiskey is a great curse. At the Leech Lake Agency, six Indians -were killed in drunken quarrels among themselves in six months.</p> - -<p>Boys. Rev. Myron Eells, of Washington Territory, says he convicted -quite a number of persons for selling liquor to the Indians, which -aroused the fierce opposition of the whiskey ring, which had done -its utmost to prevent his success.</p> - -<p>Leader. What has resulted from efforts for their reformation?</p> - -<p>Girls. So much was accomplished by Rev. Mr. Spees and his wife at -Red Lake, that not a drunken Indian had been seen for many weeks.</p> - -<p>Boys. At the Skokomish Agency, about 130 Indians took the -temperance pledge. Since then those who came under the influence of -the missionary abandoned the use of strong drink. The opposition, -however, by the liquor sellers was such that they burned seven -Indian houses by way of retaliation.</p> - -<p>Leader. Do Indian youth readily accept temperance principles when -brought into the training schools of the Association?</p> - -<p>Girls. They do. Those brought to Hampton by Capt. Pratt gave up -their tobacco and whiskey during the first year, held prayer -meetings together, and pursued the industrial occupations required -by the school without serious objection.</p> - -<p>Boys. At the Green Bay Agency, within a few years, a great work has -been done in the way of temperance reform, so that Mr. Wheeler, the -missionary on the ground, says that a more temperate community of -its size cannot probably be found in the State of Wisconsin.</p> - -<p>Singing.</p> - -<p><a class="pagenum" name="Page_138" id="Page_138">[138]</a></p> - -<p>Address on the Work of the Association among Indians.</p> - -<p>[See April <span class="smcap">American Missionary</span> for 1883.]</p> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h4>TEMPERANCE WORK AMONG THE CHINESE.</h4> - -<p>Leader. Are the Chinese on the Pacific Coast exposed to temptations -to intemperance?</p> - -<p>Girls. Gen. C. H. Howard, writing from Sacramento, says: At their -groceries, liquors are always to be found. The older persons have a -prevalent habit of constantly smoking opium when in from their work.</p> - -<p>Boys. The increase of traffic in opium in the United States has -been very great during the past twenty years, which is no doubt -partly accounted for from the presence of the Chinese.</p> - -<p>Leader. Do Christian influences make the Chinamen better?</p> - -<p>Girls. At an annual festival in Sacramento, a converted Chinaman -said of the converts among his countrymen: “Oh yes, all much better -men, do not steal, do not gamble, do not do any bad, no opium, -some not even smoke cigars. We can tell, all other Chinamen watch -Christian Chinamen. When he is converted and believes truth, it -makes him good inside. He don’t want to go wrong anymore. If all -Chinamen be Christians then no more trouble about ‘must go.’”</p> - -<p>Boys. Among the 2,567 Chinese students in the schools of the -American Missionary Association last year, religious work was very -encouraging. About one in ten of those who came under the influence -of the society are converted. These abandon their evil habits as -readily as converts among other races.</p> - -<p>Recitation.

Are temptations to intemperance common among the colored -people?</p> - -<p>Girls. Yes. More so now, than in the days of slavery. When slaves, -it was not for the interest of their masters to furnish them strong -drink as a beverage, and the Negroes had but little opportunity or -money to purchase it for themselves.</p> - -<p>Boys. They now have the privilege of working for wages, and most of -the grocery stores as well as the saloons keep liquor, and are glad -to get the Negro’s money for it.</p> - -<p>Leader. Are there not laws in the different Southern States, -prohibiting the sale of intoxicating drinks to minors and to -drunken persons?</p> - -<p>Girls. There are in quite a number of those States, but these laws -are not often enforced.</p> - -<p>Boys. In some States they have local option laws in which the -counties can vote prohibition, and when temperance measures are -carried it is largely the result of Negro votes.</p> - -<p>Leader. Has the American Missionary Association found an open door -for temperance work in its missions South?</p> - -<p>Girls. It has. Some years the pupils in attendance have numbered -40,000, among whom were persons of all ages.</p> - -<p>Boys. Not unfrequently the enthusiasm for establishing temperance -societies has been very great. Middle-aged and gray-haired men and -women have eagerly sought to enter the Bands of Hope established -by the children, and when admitted have been lifted up from their -vices and advanced in sobriety and usefulness.</p> - -<p>Leader.

At Talladega, Ala., they have a Union Temperance -Society, which holds monthly meetings full of interest. All the -Sunday-school and all the College students are members. They keep -the work lively among all their mission schools.</p> - -<p>Boys. At Marion, Ala., there is a regular temperance catechising -in the day-school against rum and tobacco, also in three mission -Sunday-schools. For several weeks before Christmas, mass meetings -are held in different churches, at which addresses are made on the -subject.</p> - -<p>Leader. Are the churches of the Association committed to the cause -of temperance?</p> - -<p>Girls. They are. Many of the churches have distinctive rules, -requiring abstinence from the use as a beverage of intoxicating -drinks, and forbidding the selling of such.</p> - -<p>Boys. The churches and conferences of the Association are -practically temperance societies. They hold temperance as an -article of their faith and undertake to exercise discipline on that -principle.</p> - -<p>Leader. Are they peculiar in their treatment of the subject of -temperance?</p> - -<p>Girls. They differ from many churches South in this particular. A -pastor in Savannah writes: “No one can tell the importance of these -Congregational organizations here except those on the ground. Our -church has taken an open bold stand against liquor drinking and -liquor traffic. Our little temperance society has become a power in -the city and surrounding country. It has provoked others to good -works. Two other societies have been organized in the city and one -at Belmont.”</p> - -<p>Boys. At Childersburg, Ala., Rev. A. Jones had his church burned -after giving a temperance lecture, but instead of surrendering, his -people have rallied and they are building better than before.</p> - -<p>Leader. What has been the success of the work for temperance in the -Sunday-schools of the Association?</p> - -<p>Girls. Among the 7,000 scholars in the Sunday-schools, a very -encouraging work has been carried on year by year. Bands of Hope -have been organized and temperance gatherings held and pledges -signed by a very large number of children.</p> - -<p>Boys. Mr. Curtis writes from Alabama as follows: “Temperance at -Anniston booming. The whole country thoroughly aroused. Temperance -taught in the Sunday-school. Band of Hope meetings, temperance -prayer-meetings and mass meetings with lectures and discussions.”</p> - -<p>Leader. Do those who go forth from the schools of the Association -to teach and preach promote the cause of temperance?</p> - -<p>Girls. They do. Over 150 who were converted to the cause of -temperance while at Tougaloo, Miss., signed the pledge and did -temperance work in connection with the teaching in the common -schools, and in various other ways.</p> - -<p>Boys. During a single year the total number of signers to the -pledge obtained by the students connected with one of the -institutions of the Association was 1,300.

JOS. E. ROY, D.D.</p> - -<p>Our Churches, Conferences and Associations are practically -temperance societies. Many of the churches have distinctive rules -requiring abstinence from the use as a beverage, and from the -selling, of intoxicating drinks. As new churches are organized they -are more and more inclined to start with a special, stringent rule. -Other churches interpret, as requiring the same, the common law -of their covenant, by which the members “promise to walk with the -disciples in love, and denying all ungodliness and worldly lusts, -to live soberly, righteously and godly in this present world.” All -hold temperance as an article of their faith, expect to have it -faithfully preached in their pulpits, and undertake to exercise -discipline on that principle.</p> - -<p>In connection with many of our churches, Bands of Hope were early -organized; and these have done great good in bringing up the rising -generation in the way of sobriety. Some of these have shown great -effectiveness and great tenacity of existence. Some have gained -property and have become permanent fountains of blessing.</p> - -<p>In the old times the master’s will was a prohibitory law to his -slaves. When that law was repealed, to many liberty seemed to imply -freedom to drink as much whiskey as they pleased. Experience has -been teaching them better. The means used for their moral elevation -have taken effect upon the prevalence of this habit. But still -liquor drinking is the devil’s best hold upon this people. And -so perpetual vigilance is required to meet these satanic wiles, -even within the precincts of the church. But our pastors have been -faithful, and the churches have been ready to respond to right -principle in the execution of discipline. In a rice-swamp region, -where the whiskey shops seem to be the regular attendants of the -old-time churches, standing hard by the same and finding the -Sabbaths their best<a class="pagenum" name="Page_142" id="Page_142">[142]</a> days of business, our church there has no such -an annex, for it furnishes no such patronage.</p> - -<p>In North Carolina, during the great canvass for prohibition in that -State, one of our pastors was surprised to find laxity in principle -and practice among his members on this subject. He took hold of the -matter vigorously. Church meetings were held. Discussion ran high -until stringent rules were enacted and the members brought into -line to vote for the prohibitory law. When that election came off -and the mass of the colored people shamefully joined with the enemy -and voted against the constitutional inhibition, our pastors and -churches were firm and solid on the right side—our pastor at the -Capital being on the State Executive Committee along with the first -citizens of the State and doing valiant service at home and afield -for the reform.</p> - -<p>Our Conferences and Associations, at their annual meetings, have -temperance almost as a standing subject for discussions and for -public meetings. An evening is often spent in ten-minute addresses. -In these the laymen prove very effective speakers. These bodies are -diligent in urging upon the churches fidelity as to the preaching, -practice and discipline upon the subject of temperance.</p> - -<hr class="chap" /> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h3>HINDRANCES.</h3> - -<p class="secauth">BY REV. DANA SHERRILL, SAVANNAH, GA.</p> - -<p>The hindrance occasioned by intemperance in connection with -our work, in church and school, differs only in intensity from -similar evil found elsewhere. The social and spiritual atmosphere -is depressing to our work, because of drinking habits. Total -abstainers number less than ten per cent. of our population, all -colors. A well-informed colored man assures me that not one in -a hundred among men between 18 and 45 years of age are, in his -judgment, total abstainers. Of arrests by our city police during -the year 1882, 1,460 were for offenses usually arising more or less -directly from drink, against 538 for all other crimes and 536 for -drunkenness only. Drinking on our field is not yet driven to the -dramshops, but is common in homes. A father is known to drink every -day in the presence of his children. His name is Legion. The shops -are closed in many country places hereaway where there is little -total abstinence. The demijohn is all-present. The way-trains out -of our city are whiskey trains. Of fourteen men in a car with your -missionary recently, twelve drank spirits from one to four times in -an hour.</p> - -<p>At present the great majority of influential people are not only -<em>not</em> total abstainers, but by example and often by precept teach -our colored people, who naturally pattern after the ruling class, -that drinking is the correct thing. This is a sample hindrance. -A promising convert <a id="Err1" name="Err1"></a>was found to be giving intoxicating drink to -wife and children. When remonstrance was made he asked: “How can it -be wrong when my employer, a good church member, makes me pass it -to his guests every day?” It is needless to say that he is still -outside the church.</p> - -<p>Here the general church opinion does not demand total abstinence; -in fact, rebels against such a doctrine. Until very recently the -ministers of our colored churches in no case known to me would be -able to enforce anything like total abstinence however earnestly -they might desire so to do. This, then, is the atmosphere in which -your agents and a very small but earnest band of fellow-helpers -are attempting to build churches and schools demanding total -abstinence. An ignorant, but careful mother, said only a few days -since: “I don’t know but I must leave my church and come over to -you, there is no other temperance church here.” This<a class="pagenum" name="Page_143" id="Page_143">[143]</a> after one -of our usual monthly total abstinence meetings, and she added as -reason, “I never knew drunkards could not go to heaven before.” -Standing, then, as our church has, as the only religious society -refusing continued membership to drinking men and women, and that -in the presence of the spirit and customs named, it is not strange -that we have been opposed by the uninstructed as interfering with -their liberties, and righteous over much. One at least of our small -churches finds the “social unions” and similar societies, which are -very numerous, almost breaking up their Sabbath service once each -month. The charm in these society meetings is the <em>wine provided</em>.</p> - -<hr class="chap" /> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h3>THE TEMPERANCE OUTLOOK AT MEMPHIS.</h3> - -<p class="secauth">BY PROF. A. J. STEELE.</p> - -<p>“It was in evidence to-day that Marianna’s place was going full -blast all day Sunday last, and that it was crowded with men and -boys, some of them not more than twelve years old, shooting dice -and playing cards. The specific charges against him were keeping -house open, selling liquor on that day, and allowing minors to -gamble.”</p> - -<p>The above item, taken from a late daily paper of this city, may -serve to introduce my observations in the matter of temperance—or -rather of intemperance—for the ten years of my life at Memphis. -The place above referred to is prominently located, rather to one -side of the business portion of the city, and almost literally -within the very shadows of two of the largest colored churches -of the city. If there exists now in Memphis any distinctively -temperance organization other than the W. C. T. U. and the Band -of Hope of Le Moyne Institute, I can find nothing of it. If -the churches speak with other than very uncertain tones on the -subject, when they speak at all, I am not aware of it. I know of -but one church, the Second Congregational, that makes abstinence a -condition of membership. I know of many whose members may and do -drink steadily, sometimes to drunkenness, unmolested. If there is -any practical or emphatic or systematic teaching in Sunday-schools -in general on the subject, I have not known of it. Strangely -enough, our strongest, most effective temperance sentiment and -teaching comes through the courts, and through business men and -interests, where in the majority of cases no moral responsibility -or solicitude is felt or expressed in the matter in question.</p> - -<p>The legal argument and phase of the subject is the one that most -readily finds a hearing and a following here; this was recently -shown by the marked interest manifested in several able addresses -given on the subject by Mrs. Foster, the lawyer-temperance -advocate of Iowa. In the South, at all events, there is no doubt -as to the <em>right</em> or <em>power</em> of legislative bodies and courts to -deal with the matter. By a curious mistake some years since the -General Assembly of Tennessee passed a law known as the “Four Mile -Law,” which prohibits the sale of liquor within four miles of any -chartered institution of learning. It was supposed that the law -would be of only local force, but it so happened that the State -Constitution declared that any general act of the Legislature must -be of general application throughout the State. Hence in time we -came to realize that we had a very effective prohibitory law, or -what amounted to that. To the everlasting honor of our courts it -must be said that this and such other temperance legislation as we -have is fearlessly enforced and under very severe penalties in such -cases as are presented for trial.</p> - -<p>This is, to say the least, a very anomalous condition of affairs. -I account for it in two ways, chiefly from the fact that in -general the liquor interests of the South<a class="pagenum" name="Page_144" id="Page_144">[144]</a> are poorly organized -and consolidated for any purposes of opposition or defense; -and secondly, in communities where the formative process is -largely going on—(and be assured the new South will not be the -old)—especially in all questions of public import, the <em>heroic</em> is -oftener resorted to than is just common or fashionable in a more -settled state of society. There is less allowing of quibbles and -more coming straight to the end in view. So stringently have the -courts applied these laws that there are several counties in East -Tennessee where no liquor is now sold.</p> - -<p>In this county many country liquor stores have been run out, a -fine of $150 being not unusual for a first offense in violation -of law; this was the fine inflicted in the instance at the head -of this letter. In general the newspapers cast their influence on -the right side; usually edited by men of position and at least -of local importance, their influence is not small. In Memphis -the W. C. T. U. is the strong moral force for temperance work -and influence. Concerning our own work, Colman’s Temperance text -book, is regularly used and taught in the school, and almost -invariably our students go out earnest believers in, and workers -for, temperance, accomplishing no small amount of good among their -people, who almost universally suppose liquor necessary to laborers -and indispensable to <em>free men</em>, and therefore drink as much of it -as can be obtained.</p> - -<hr class="chap" /> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h3>TEMPERANCE IN TEXAS.</h3> - -<p class="secauth">BY PRES. WM. E. BROOKS, TILLOTSON INSTITUTE.</p> - -<p>It may be said with truth, I think, that the strongest temperance -element in the State of Texas to-day is among the colored people. -I am informed that where they are in the majority, and they have -an opportunity to express themselves, they vote for prohibition. -There are exceptions. They are very apt to be North or South. If we -can believe Milton, there was one in heaven once. The <em>excepting</em> -member, however, found it to his advantage to leave, if I remember -correctly. They say he came to earth. We must not wonder, -therefore, if he has some slight following among the colored people -on the whiskey question; but if they had the say, they would -largely be for prohibition.</p> - -<p>Take it here at Tillotson, we have a large and flourishing society, -the members of which are pledged to total abstinence from the use -of intoxicating drinks, and of tobacco. This pledge was adopted -more than a year ago, after a prolonged discussion, but nearly -all the students are now enthusiastic members of the society. The -meetings are held on the third Sabbath evening of each month. They -are full of interest and well attended. But this, like all good -things, is the result of effort. A committee, appointed for this -purpose, has at each meeting a well-filled programme. The more -advanced students have essays upon some phase of the temperance -work; others read articles bearing on the special subject before -the meeting. Thus, at one time, the object is to make manifest the -ill effect of rum and tobacco upon the human system; at another -the cost; the whole interspersed with appropriate music, reading -the Scripture and prayer. In this way there is variety, increase -of light, and the building up of a strong, because intelligent, -opposition to intemperance. And all this is under the direction -of the students. Of course the faculty is present, to do or say -any thing that may be helpful, but the real work is done by the -students, and these meetings are not only full of interest but -reflect great credit on those that have them in charge.</p> - -<p>We are thus training up a noble band of young men and women, -whose influence is sure to be felt far and wide, and to become a -great and, I trust, controlling power in Texas, especially among -the colored people. This is our aim, and that our hope shall be -realized, we are confident, since God is in the work.</p> - -<p><a class="pagenum" name="Page_145" id="Page_145">[145]</a></p> - -<p>Thus it can be seen that the great rising tide of temperance, which -is sweeping over the North and Northwest, is making itself felt -here. Not strongly yet, but there is an underswell, a movement -among the more thoughtful, a shrinking back from the wasting, -impoverishing curse of strong drink, and from the filth and fume -of tobacco, which indicates, more clearly than words can, that -the day is close at hand, when the question of temperance, even -of prohibition, will become a living, and (may we not hope?) a -life-saving and a life-imparting issue here in this great, grand, -empire State.</p> - -<hr class="chap" /> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h3>TOUGALOO AND TEMPERANCE.</h3> - -<p class="secauth">BY REV. A. HATCH, TOUGALOO UNIVERSITY.</p> - -<p>Within the last four or five years, the temperance question has in -one form or another been brought before the people of Mississippi -with some prominence. The revised code is emphatic in the following -points: the sale of vinous or spirituous liquor is forbidden -except under a license, at least two hundred dollars; the sale to -minors is strictly prohibited under severe penalties; the sale of -liquor on Sunday is made unlawful, as also is the keeping open on -that day of the bar or place where liquors are sold. Two years -ago a State temperance convention was called at Jackson. This was -an intelligent body of men representing nearly every county in -the state. It adjourned without accomplishing a great deal, but -the animus of the body was strongly in favor of a constitutional -prohibitory amendment. Being an initiative movement, however, on -the ground of expediency the final action was conservative.</p> - -<p>As everywhere, the liquor men are active and shrewd, gaining over -to their side many an ignorant and unwary voter. Their strong -point of influence with the colored people is connected with the -attachment of the latter to the free public school system. No -institution is more fondly cherished by any class of people in -our land than the free school system of the South by the negro -race. The State constitution provides that “all moneys received -for licenses granted for the sale of intoxicating liquor” shall -be applied toward a common school fund. The schools, indeed, are -in large part supported by this means. Liquor men accordingly put -the case thus: Prohibit the manufacture and sale of liquor in this -State and you cut off the support of the common schools.</p> - -<p>In one county in the State the sale of intoxicating drinks is -entirely prohibited by the local authorities, and there is at -least one town outside of that county under a like restraint. -At the present time there is very little doing for the cause -throughout the State. It does not as yet enter into the sphere of -politics, unless prospectively in slight degree. Nothing is seen -in the leading papers relative to the subject as a matter of State -interest. Occasionally we hear of a lecturer speaking for the -cause, or rarely of some local movement in the way of organized -effort.</p> - -<p>The foregoing is believed to be a fair representation of the public -mind and movement in relation to the subject. In general the -colored people are easily influenced in favor of temperance. They -are ready for the work as grain for the harvest.</p> - -<p>There is need of the most earnest work. Of the 876 convicts in the -State penitentiary, according to the last official report, 782 are -colored persons, and it is estimated that four-fifths of these -committed their crimes under the influence of liquor. This fact in -the criminal list is a sure index of what is generally prevalent. -Intemperance is alarmingly widespread among the colored people -in Mississippi. The habit, too, is fixed within the churches of -this people to a shocking extent. Church membership is no sort of -guarantee that an individual is not habitually intemperate, even -to the degree of drunkenness. When we consider all this and<a class="pagenum" name="Page_146" id="Page_146">[146]</a> the -terrible, degrading influence resting over the children and youth, -the need of specifically <em>temperance work</em> seems almost equal to -that of Christian education.</p> - -<p>What has been done in this direction by Tougaloo University through -its teachers, we take great pride and satisfaction in looking over -and summing up. During the past five years this institution has -been represented in temperance work in the State by no less than -150 different individuals converted to the cause while here, and -becoming themselves signers of the pledge to total abstinence. -These have done their temperance work in connection with the -teaching of children in the common schools, and many of them in -various fields. The little army has thus been able to reach a very -great number of children and parents and homes. Their work was -very direct. They taught the principles of temperance, and had -their total abstinence pledge for young and old to sign. Nor was -this all. All of these workers felt the necessity of exercising -from year to year as they returned to their old places, or as -circumstances made it possible, a watchful care over those induced -to sign. One year the total number of signers obtained by our -students was not less than 1,300. But this does not include the -whole of the work done. Many of our students not as yet teachers -have been energetic in their efforts to bring the subject to the -attention of friends and neighbors where they have lived and to -win these over to the cause, often gaining a greater influence and -success than many who worked as teachers.</p> - -<h3 title="NEGRO CABINS (cut)"></h3> -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 500px;"> -<img src="images/cabins.jpg" width="500" height="409" alt="" /> -NEGRO CABINS. -</div> - -<p><a class="pagenum" name="Page_147" id="Page_147">[147]</a></p> - -<hr class="chap" /> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h3>“HIGHER LAW” AND INDIVIDUAL RIGHT ON OUR SIDE.</h3> - -<p class="secauth">BY REV. E. T. HOOKER, CHARLESTON.</p> - -<p>South Carolina has the <em>license</em> system, with the <em>local option</em> -attachment. One-third of the voters in any municipality may require -the question of prohibition to be submitted to the people, and a -majority prohibits. But the legislature last winter went further -than this, and in a truly paternal manner “exempted” certain towns -from the necessity of a majority for prohibition, and gave it to -a large but defeated minority. As the State power is now in the -hands of the white Democrats, it may be inferred from this action -what their temperance sentiments are, in those towns and in the -Legislature. It was a jewel of consistency also in those who now -“make no bones” of confessing, that a minority “had to” take the -government from the (colored) majority a few years ago. It was the -<i lang="la" xml:lang="la">summum jus</i> made legal in spite of republican principles—and was -opposed on that ground by some—which is perhaps symptomatic of -certain peculiarities of the South Carolina people, that have not -always pleased the rest of the country so well.

I never saw a Chinaman -drunk, though I have heard that the sight might be seen. But this, -too, is recent, and my impression of the aversion to intoxicating -drinks, as a national characteristic, was, till lately, so strong, -that for many years I had nothing to say to our Christian Chinese -on the subject, except as it came up incidentally<a class="pagenum" name="Page_150" id="Page_150">[150]</a> in the course -of Bible study. It is within a year that it came to my knowledge -that a stimulating and slightly intoxicating drink, which they -call in English, wine, is made from rice, and used among them -more or less at banquets, though not, I think, at ordinary meals. -The discovery of this fact, and that even our most advanced and -reliable Christians were not total abstainers, has led us to preach -among them this gospel also.

THOS. N. CHASE.</p> - -<p>Now, children, I shouldn’t a bit wonder if some of you remember a -story about Ted’s Temperance Society written for the Children’s -Page a year ago. If you have the Missionary for June, 1882, just -read it again, then you will enjoy this story better. Ted, you -remember, was a real live Atlanta boy, ten years old, who got his -school-mates to come to his home to sign a pledge. Ted’s mother -often helped him in making the children who came fully understand -what a solemn thing they were doing. She read the pledge very -slowly to each. Then she had them sign their names on a little -card, and some other child must put down another name underneath -as a witness. This was all there was to the Society, so simple -and easy that any child could do it, no bands, badges, banners or -prizes, yet they were so interested that they came in scores to -enroll their names, and the best of all was, that many who signed -seemed to catch Ted’s missionary zeal, and became centres of little -circles which they drew into Ted’s home, to help swell the noble -army marching against the cruel old despots, tobacco and whiskey.</p> - -<p>One little fellow, who had brought many before, came one day with -an overgrown girl of fifteen, and finding several new boys in -the house ready to take the pledge, he felt the dignity of the -situation and tried to help Ted’s mother in her little sermon by -shouting: “Now, boys, this is a good thing if you only mean to keep -it, but it don’t do to put your name down here for a form or a -fashion.”</p> - -<p>I recently met dashing little Susie Hall. I knew her as one of the -head centres of those temperance circles. How her black eyes danced -as she told me of her<a class="pagenum" name="Page_151" id="Page_151">[151]</a> contempt for mince-pies, egg-nog, etc. Few -Southern cooks know how to make mince-pies without brandy. I asked -Susie who gave her the egg-nog she told me of refusing so bravely. -“Oh, ma cooks for white folks and we lives in the yard, and on -Christmas the white lady called me to scrape out the bowl, but I -couldn’t touch it.”</p> - -<p>I have just come in from a visit to the Gate City Grammar School, -an eight room city school for colored children, all the teachers -being former students of Atlanta University. I noticed upon the -wall of each room, as soon as I entered a sheet of fools-cap with -names written upon it. For a border it had the beautiful rainbow -pasting which the children in the Storrs Kindergarten make. As -the brilliant setting of those names caught my eye, I supposed -it was some roll of honor, and so it was, but it seemed to me an -enrollment of honor far greater than that given for perfection -in scholarship or school deportment. This is the heading. “We, -the undersigned, do promise not to drink, or ask others to drink, -any wine, cider, whiskey, beer, egg-nog, or anything that can -intoxicate, from this day, Dec. 18, 1882, to Feb. 1, 1883.” From -Dec. 18, to Feb. 1, is only six weeks to be sure, so this is only -a bridge-pledge to bridge over that awful chasm which yawns and -buries so many during those fearful days of the old and new year -when we honor the birthday of the Christ-child, and which ought to -be the purest of all the year.

It -is a <b>reed</b> instrument, and is constructed on the same -principle as an organ, with bellows and <b>full size reeds</b>. -The music consists of perforated sheets, which are put into the -Organette, furnishing either <b>finished solo performance, a rich -accompaniment to the voice or valuable orchestral effects</b>. They -are marvels of musical invention, and combine in themselves all -the principles upon which automatic organs, organettes, etc., are -now being made, requiring no skill in the performer; any child old -enough to use its hands intelligently can play, and the <b>range -of music is absolutely unlimited</b>. We wish to introduce one of -these Organettes in every town and hamlet throughout the <b>United -States and Canada</b>, and in order to do so <b>speedily</b> have -concluded to sell a limited number to the readers of this magazine -at <b>ONLY $5.00</b> each. This is <b>much under the regular -price</b>, and in order to protect ourselves from persons ordering -in large quantities we require you to <b>cut this advertisement -out</b> and send to us with your order on or before <b>September -1st, 1883</b>. We will positively not sell more than <b>one -Organette</b> to any one person at this reduced price, as we only -make this unprecedented offer to introduce this <b>first-class -Organette</b> throughout the world, well knowing that, after one is -received in a neighborhood, we will sell several at <b>our regular -price</b>.</p> - -<p class="small">We wish to caution you against the many <b>worthless automatic -instruments</b> being sold <b>under various names</b>. We are -the <b>General Agents</b> for the <b>McTammany Organette</b>, -and you must order direct from us or through our authorized -Agents. Remember, the <b>McTammany Organettes</b> are not toys, -but are <b>large and powerful instruments</b>, built of <b>black -walnut</b>, highly polished and decorated in <b>gold</b>, the -Reeds being so powerful that they produce sufficient <b>volume of -music</b> for the <b>chapel, parlor or lodge</b>. There is nothing -about them to get out of order, in fact, they produce a richer and -sweeter sound after having been used for a few years. <b>For HOME -ENTERTAINMENTS they are unsurpassed.</b> The cut will give you -but a faint idea of <em>size and finish</em> of this instrument, but we -will return the money and pay express charges to any one who is -not perfectly satisfied after receiving it. With each Organette we -inclose a selection of popular tunes, and pack all in a strong box. -Money can be sent by Registered Letter, Money Order or Draft, or we -will send the Organette by express, C. O. D., with the privilege of -examination before taking out of the express office, if you send -$1, to guarantee us against express charges. If you are in New York -at any time call on us, or if you have friends living here request -them to call and purchase for you.

Was very much reduced in flesh and strength; could -only sit up a part of the time. Had a slight cough and raised some -matter and phlegm from my lungs. After using the Oxygen one week my -weight was eighty nine and a half pounds; three weeks after it was -ninety-two pounds, a gain of two and a half pounds in three weeks. -I think it has been much faster for the last two weeks.</p> - -<p class="medium">“I have been using Oxygen for six weeks and am now able to ride to -town, six miles, do my shopping and back again, get dinner for my -family and work at light housework all the remainder of the day -without stopping to rest. Am feeling so strong and well <em>that I -almost forget I have been sick</em> and should think my lungs well if -it were not for the smarting or uneasy feeling in my throat and -some pain between my shoulders at times.</p> - -<p class="medium">“My cough (when I do cough, which is not often) is much more -satisfactory and less of a hack than it was six weeks ago, and I -think I raise more phlegm and less matter.</p> - -<p class="medium">“I am able to do my own work, and it is so easy that I find it a -real pleasure. <em>Appetite is splendid. Sleep seven or eight hours -soundly; no night sweats, no distressing sick headaches, as I -used to have. My friends had all given up that I was going with -Consumption as fast as I could, but instead, I am looking better -than for years</em>, and I think it is through God’s mercy and His -blessing and your Oxygen that has brought me health and happiness.”</p> - -<hr class="tiny" /> - -<p class="center"><b>“A Wonder to all my Friends.”</b></p> - -<p class="medium">A lady at Sandy Creek, N.Y., wrote us in April last, giving a -statement of her case. She had been a sufferer for many years, -especially from <em>Neuralgia</em>.</p> - -<p class="medium">We had but one report of the case, and that a brief one, until -October 20, 1882, when the following was received. It will be seen -that the treatment has been doing a good work, and that the lady, -to use her own words, is “a wonder to all her friends.”</p> - -<p class="medium">“Last April I procured a Home Treatment from you and have written -you once since then. I have been greatly benefited by the use of -the Oxygen. When I wrote you a description of my case you expressed -the opinion that with freedom from care and work I might be cured -by taking the Treatment. I have never worked so hard or steadily -as through the past summer, <em>and have not felt so well, so much -alive for years</em>, and all this from the use <em>of only about half -a Treatment</em>. I have been so very busy that I have not taken the -Oxygen regularly at all; neither have I reported to you but once -before, so I could blame no one but myself if I were not benefited. -I have not felt quite as well for the past two weeks, but am -going to be more faithful in the use of the Oxygen, and I hope to -improve. <em>I am a wonder to all my friends</em>, but I give the credit -where it is due—to the use of the Oxygen.”</p> - -<hr class="tiny" /> - -<p class="center"><b>Strong Testimony from a Physician.</b></p> - -<p class="medium">A physician in Troy, Tenn., whose wife was in the early stages of -Consumption, wrote to us in May last, ordering a Treatment. In a -second letter, received some weeks after the Compound Oxygen was -received, he says:</p> - -<p class="medium">“She coughs some. Has no night sweats. Had some chills lately; -short breath; pain in left lung under breast; some hemorrhage -recently; appetite and sleep moderate; losing flesh since using -Compound Oxygen; is some better in all respects; coughs up some -blood and pure pus; breathes better than before using Compound -Oxygen.”</p> - -<p class="medium">We did not hear again from the case until Sept. 22, 1882, when a -letter came, in which the writer states that he had been waiting -to see if the good work begun by our Treatment was going to be -permanent. His report, which we give below, is highly satisfactory:</p> - -<p class="medium">“You will no doubt think that I have been very negligent in writing -you in regard to my wife’s case. Please receive my apology. <em>I -was just waiting to see if what your Treatment was doing would be -permanent.</em> I have so much to say that I hardly know where to begin.</p> - -<p class="medium">“I gave you the symptoms when I made the order. <em>For the first -three weeks my wife did not improve any. After that time she -improved slowly but steadily. She is now like a new person. She is -gaining all the time. Her breathing is better than for two years, -and she is gaining strength and flesh.</em></p> - -<p class="medium">“When she began your Compound Oxygen <em>she could not walk fifty -yards without great exhaustion</em>. She can now <em>walk half a mile with -but little fatigue</em>. Her lungs pain her but little. She sleeps well -at night; appetite good; has not <em>had any hemorrhage since last of -July</em>, and then light; and, to cut the matter short, <em>she said this -morning that she began to feel like herself again</em>.</p> - -<p class="medium">“<em>You are at liberty to refer to me or my wife any one similarly -affected.</em>”</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p class="medium">Our Treatise on Compound Oxygen <em>is sent free of charge</em>.
