The legacies for these -months last year were $31,516.63, while for this year they have -been $47,450.24, an increase of $15,933.61. The total receipts -for this year in collections, donations and legacies have been -$178,884.61 against $191,417.08 for the same period last year, a -decrease of $12,532.47. This decrease causes us great anxiety. - - * * * * * - - -SCHOOL ANNIVERSARIES SOUTH. - -The establishment of schools for Freedmen and the encouragement -given for institutions for whites in the South since the war, -has introduced into that portion of the country a new era. It -has given a brighter horizon to the blacks and elevated the -aspirations of the whites. In many localities it has afforded an -entirely new industry, and given pleasures and pastimes foreign to -all the former experiences of the lowly laboring people of that -locality. This is especially seen in the anniversaries of the -institutions founded through the benevolence of the North. These -hold their closing exercises at this season, and in many instances -make the country alive with enthusiasm for the progress of the -rising generation. There are several features of these occasions -that register the tide-mark of a growing civilization, and are, -therefore, fitted to encourage those who are watching the destinies -of the country and the success of Christ’s kingdom in the world. - -It is a notable fact that philanthropic people from the North are -interested to make journeys South to attend these anniversaries. -Something of interest and profit is expected not only by those -immediately connected with the schools, but by the citizens of the -country where the school exists. Commencement Day is coming to be a -general holiday, a time when whole families come in for miles to be -present to witness the graduation of children or friends; to hear -the fine music, to listen to the addresses, and to observe whatever -of interest attaches to the occasion. These great assemblies are -inspiring, educative, reformatory. We give an account of nine -such in this number of the MISSIONARY, which we trust will be of -interest and profit to our readers. - - * * * * * - - -NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL ASSEMBLY. - -The second annual session of the National Educational Assembly -will be held at Ocean Grove, New Jersey, Aug. 9, 10, 11, 12. The -purpose of the session is to bring together on the same platform -prominent representatives of popular education, irrespective of -section, church or political party; to awaken and direct public -sentiment in favor of enlarged national, state and church efforts -for the education and elevation of the illiterate masses of our -country. The chief subjects for discussion during the Assembly -will be National Aid to Common Schools, The Negro in America, the -Mormon Question, and the Indian Question. The following, with other -well-known persons, are announced to be present and address the -meetings: Gen. John Eaton, Frederick Douglas, Bishop Simpson, Rev. -A. D. Mayo, Senator Blair, of New Hampshire, Judge Tourgee, Hon. T. -W. Bicknell, Bishop Whipple, Secretaries Strieby, Morehouse, Rust -and Kendall. The Assembly will be conducted by Rev. J. C. Hartzell, -D.D., who can be addressed at Saratoga Springs, N.Y. - - * * * * * - - -CONFERENCE OF MISSIONARIES - -A conference of missionary teachers and preachers who have -heretofore labored, or are now laboring, in the Southern States -from the North, is called to meet at Ocean Grove, New Jersey, Aug. -11 and 12. This conference will form a part of the proceedings of -the National Education Assembly which will then be in session at -that time and place. - -An address of welcome will be delivered by Rev. C. H. Fowler, D.D., -LL.D., of New York City, and responsive addresses will be made by -representatives of the different denominations engaged in the work. - -The Conference has the approval of the corresponding secretaries of -the American Missionary Association, the Freedmen Aid Society of -the Methodist Episcopal church, the Board of Missions for Freedmen -of the Presbyterian church, and the Home Missionary Society of -the Baptist church. These secretaries will all be present and -participate in the conference. - -A committee of entertainment will be on the ground to receive those -who attend, and arrangements will be made for their entertainment -at hotels and private houses at reasonable rates. - - * * * * * - - -THE MENDI MISSION. - -It will be remembered that in compliance with the instructions -given at our last annual meeting, arrangements were made with the -United Brethren in Christ to conduct the Mendi Mission for a term -of years. Dr. Flickinger, the Secretary, visited Africa to mature -plans for carrying on the mission in connection with the one -maintained in the immediate vicinity (the Shengay) by his society. -He has just returned and made report, from which we take the -following extract: - -“We opened a new station at Manboh, a town about midway from Avery -to Shengay, immediately on the coast, which is quite a suitable -place for a mission. This is in charge of Rev. Mr. Fowler, who -commenced work at that point the middle of March, and when last -heard from was doing well. We now have ten native missionaries -employed, who are giving their entire time to teaching and -preaching, and with the help afforded by Rev. Mr. Gomer and Mr. -Wilberforce, are to preach in 113 towns as often as once in two -weeks, and in some every week. With the four stations and 31 -preaching places on the Mendi side and eight on the Sherbro side, -we now have 12 stations and as many day and Sunday-schools, with -144 towns or preaching places to be provided for in connection with -these missions. The Boomphe Mission, which has four stations and 40 -towns lying to the northeast from Sherbro Mission, as Mendi lies to -the southeast, the three extending over 100 miles along the coast -and embracing 184 towns, are giving from twelve to fifteen thousand -people the opportunity of hearing the Gospel and several hundred -children the privilege of attending both day and Sabbath-school.” - - * * * * * - - -THE JOHN BROWN STEAMER. - -Rev. Dr. Flickinger was also empowered to contract for the John -Brown steamer, and visited England last December, on his way -to Africa, spending some days in conference with ship builders -relating to the kind and size of vessel needful. Before closing -the contract, however, he decided to examine the depth and width -of the rivers upon which it was to be used and other matters -involved in its success in connection with the Mendi Mission. Upon -his return to England in May, he contracted with Mr. Edward Hayes, -of Stratford, for the construction of the steamer. It is to be 60 -feet long, 12 feet beam and 7 feet deep amid ships, draft of water -3½ feet, speed from 7 to 8 miles per hour to carry 15 tons cargo -besides coal for running two days, and to have cabin accommodations -for seven persons and room for the crew in the forecastle. It is -to be of the best of iron and material throughout. Its engine will -be 36 horse-power and of the most substantial kind, and the boiler -of ample size and strength, adapted for wood or coal. It is to be -finished in the early autumn and to cost £1,777. To this must be -added about £300 for transporting and putting it in order for use, -or a little above $10,000 in all. We trust that unpaid pledges to -this Association for the steamer will be forwarded to us without -delay. - - * * * * * - -We call attention to the communication in this number from Rev. -W. C. Pond, Superintendent of our Chinese missions. The magnitude -and importance of his work will, we hope, stir the hearts of our -friends to liberal contributions in its behalf. - - * * * * * - - -GENERAL NOTES. - - -AFRICA. - -—A plan to expend $10,000,000 in the purchase of land to form two -hundred new villages in Algeria will be presented to the French -Chamber at the beginning of the session. - -—Ahmed Tewfik Effendi, a Turk of high rank, has made a profession -of Christianity and has gone to Cairo to work among the -Mohammedans, under the direction of Mr. Klein. - -—The Khedive has given a portion of land at Cairo to Miss Whately -that she may erect a building for her school. The school contains -200 girls and 300 boys, of which two-thirds of the girls and -one-half of the boys are Mohammedans. - -—The London _Daily News_ announces that the Egyptian government has -decided to send an engineer to Soudan to form a plan for a railroad -between Khartoum and Souakim. - -—The Magwangwaras have released without ransom twenty-three -Christian prisoners that they had taken at Masasi. The amount that -had been destined to liberate these has been used to redeem the -Makouas and the Yaos, their neighbors, who had been reduced to -captivity with them. The farmers of Masasi, who have been sent to -Zanzibar, will return to their station when it is deemed expedient. - -—Mr. O’Neill will undertake a journey of exploration in the region -between Mozambique and Nyassa. His principal object will be the -study of the western and northern shores of the lake Chirona, and -the ascension of a mountain near by, that is said to be covered -with snow. The Geographical Society of London has given two hundred -pounds for the enterprise. - -—The English government has accepted an offer made by several -chiefs to cede to it a strip of territory between Liberia and -Sherbro 30 kilometres in length and two in width. The English rule -will then extend in an unbroken line from Sierra Leone to the -northern frontiers of Liberia. - -—The chiefs along the river Magbeli have formed a union and -concluded a treaty of peace, which has opened the river to -commerce, and by this means a large quantity of products from the -interior will be brought to the coast. - -—The number of slaves liberated by the fact of their arrival on -French territory increases rapidly at St. Louis. There are among -them many small children that must be left with their mothers, but -those who have attained an age when they can make themselves useful -are placed in the families of the settlers. - -—Captain Hore and his companions have successfully accomplished the -arduous undertaking of conveying to Ujiji in sections the steel -life-boat, which was dispatched from England in July last. The -caravan reached its destination on the 23d of February. - -—The reports this year from the Niger Mission sent in by the two -African Archdeacons, Henry Johnson and Dandeson Crowther, are among -the most remarkable of recent date. There are now 4,000 souls under -regular Christian instruction at Bonny and Brass. On one occasion -Mr. Johnson was invited to tell the story of the Gospel in a -heathen town, where he found 500 people waiting to hear him. - - -THE CHINESE. - -—Seven Chinamen were admitted as members of the Presbyterian Church -at Los Angeles at the communion in April. - -—The Hawaiian law prohibiting Chinamen from coming to the Islands -has been repealed, and over 3,000 Chinese laborers have contracted -for their passage there. - -—“The Chinese American” is the name of a paper recently started in -New York under the editorial management of Wong Chin Foo. - -—It is reported that there are 2,500 Chinese in New York and its -suburbs. Of these 600 are under instruction in Sunday-school, one -school having 112 scholars in attendance at one time. Much labor -is involved in their instruction, as a teacher is given to each -scholar. About 40 are professing Christians. Three or four are -studying for the ministry, and one has gone back to China as a -missionary. - -—There are 60 Chinamen in Springfield, Ohio, 30 of whom are members -of the Sabbath-school. They claim that they cannot all attend at -the same time, because the “Christians,” as they call all white -people, will take advantage of their absence and break into their -laundries and steal their money. - -—Rev. C. R. Hager and Lee Sam, sent by the American Board to -establish a mission in those districts of South China from which -the Chinese in America have come, are already at work. A house -has been rented and an evening school for the instruction of the -Chinese in English provided for. The plan for instilling the truths -of the Gospel into the minds of the scholars by using the Bible -to some extent for a textbook, which has been so successful in -California, will be adopted. - - -THE INDIANS. - -—At the annual examination of the Carlisle Indian Training School, -Secretary Teller, Commissioner Price and Albert K. Smiley of -the Board of Indian Commissioners, were present. The school now -contains 367 pupils, 240 boys and 127 girls. - -[Illustration: INDIAN ENCAMPMENT.] - -—The ambition of the Alaska Indian boys is seen in the response -made by one Rudolph who was urged to marry a chief’s widow, “I -would never marry dirty old Indian; for $1,000 I never marry her. -When I am a man, I want to take a good, clean girl for wife. I want -her to know books and to housekeep like Boston girl. I not like it -my house all dirty, my children not washed.” - -—According to the latest statistical report of the Missionary -Society of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, it had among the -Indians thirteen ordained and licensed preachers, seven candidates, -forty ruling elders, twenty-nine deacons, twenty-four organized -congregations, and five hundred and twenty-seven communicants. - -—Bishop Whipple, on a recent visit to the Indians of his diocese, -administered the communion to 247 Chippewas. Fifteen years ago -there was scarcely one communicant among them; now there are 8 -churches in that mission, and they are building one to cost $10,000. - - * * * * * - - -BENEFACTIONS. - -S. E.

ROY, D.D., FIELD SUPERINTENDENT. - -PROF. ALBERT SALISBURY, SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATION. - - * * * * * - - -ANNIVERSARY REPORTS. - - -HAMPTON INSTITUTE. - -BY MISS HELEN W. LUDLOW. - -The fourteenth anniversary of Hampton Institute was observed on -May 24. The morning was devoted as usual to examinations and -recitations, with exhibitions of the products of the various -industrial departments and their operation. The Senior class was -examined in political economy and civil government, literature, -ancient history, arithmetic and algebra. They did very creditably, -stimulated by the occasion, as is usual, to do their best. They had -undergone less brilliantly, but on the whole fairly well, a severer -test during three days previous, of written and oral examinations, -conducted by or before an invited examining committee, consisting -of Prof. Samuel Elliot, LL.D., late Superintendent of schools in -Boston, and Prof. Albert Salisbury, Superintendent of Education for -the American Missionary Association Schools. The general average of -the class on the subjects marked by Prof. Salisbury (arithmetic and -political economy) was 70 and a fraction, several standing from 90 -to 93. Dr. Eliot’s eyes not allowing him to inspect papers closely, -the others were marked by Mrs. E. N. L. Walton of Boston, who came -down to conduct for the third time the annual Normal Institute at -Hampton for its Senior class and graduates. - -The under classes had their customary reviews. The Indian classes -were special attractions, as usual, particularly the division of -latest comers, in which some tiny girls and solemn braves emulated -each other in telling, in unexceptionable English, what went -into and out of a remarkably omnivorous bag, and what evolutions -were performed by its various contents; their teacher winning -Dr. Eliot’s enthusiastic declaration that “her praises ought to -be sounded from the gutter to the university.” The Indians also -did well in geography, history, arithmetic and an elementary -botany class. The little kitchen-gardeners from the Butler School -were as captivating as usual in their white pinafores and red -turbans and housekeeping accomplishments. The center of the -industrial exhibition was the Stone Memorial building; handsome -wood work, turned moldings, flooring, doors, sashes, etc., from -the “Huntington Industrial Works;” shoes ready for filling the -contract for agency supplies; shining tinware from the “Indian -Training Shop,” sets of harness from the same; desks, settees, -tables and cupboards made for the school, and a neatly painted -sign—all the work of Indian and colored apprentices, whose names, -with the period of their training, from five months to three years, -were indicated on cards affixed to their respective productions. -The wheelwright and blacksmith shops showed similarly ax-helves, -wheels and iron work, and outside the door two gaily painted farm -carts proclaimed the skill of Indian and Negro mechanics. The -tailoring department showed suits of clothes made by colored and -Indian hands. The girls of both races were represented by very neat -sewing and inviting-looking cake. The farm products had a table to -themselves; early vegetables, grains and grasses. An interesting -exhibit was that of the little carpenters from the Butler School, -a couple of miniature frame houses, clap-boarded and painted, with -sets of tables, desks and chairs for furnishing. - -The Normal School Press office had its own exhibit of printing and -book binding. The press was running, the student compositors, boys -and girls at their cases, and the veteran United States soldier at -his book-binder’s table. - -The various shops were all in operation through part of the -morning, and many visitors walked through them to see the -Afric-American, native African and Indian apprentices working side -by side at their various trades in the commodious quarters in which -most are at last accommodated. Some extended their walk to the barn -to visit the stock. - -The afternoon exercises in Whitin Chapel and Virginia Hall -consisted, as usual, of essays by the graduating class and former -graduates, with music by the school choir, a recitation of one of -Whittier’s poems by a modest ladylike Indian girl of the Junior -class, and a talk in the Sioux language by one of the three young -Indian fathers now in training with their families at Hampton. His -wife and baby boy stood admiring listeners in the doorway, ready -to vanish when the applause of the latter became too vociferous. -The Indian said impressively (interpreted by a school mate), “You -all know that when a man walks in darkness, if he sees a light -somewhere he will go to it; so I want you all to have compassion on -us and teach us more of your knowledge. I am always thinking about -the good news. I came myself to learn how to tell the good news to -my people and show them the right way. We know that you have helped -us, but we need more help. If anybody told you to do something you -never had done before, could you do it at once? They will have -to tell you three or four times before you know how to do it. My -friends, that is just the way with the Indians.” - -Diplomas were presented to the twenty-eight members of the -graduating class. Interesting speeches followed by several of the -invited guests. Prof. Newell, Superintendent of the Maryland State -Normal school in Baltimore, Dr. Eliot, Rev. Dr. Furber of Newton, -Mass., Rev. Dr. Mix of Fall River, Rev. Dr. Burrows and Rev. Mr. -Spiller of Norfolk, the last, a colored minister, all made very -enthusiastic and telling impromptu addresses under the inspiration -of the occasion. - -The average attendance of pupils for the year just past, has -been 510, of which 110 have been Indians. The work done compares -favorably with that of former years. The annual reports of the -Principal, teachers and heads of industrial departments, published -in the June number of the _Southern Workman_, and still more -fully in pamphlet form, with the treasurer’s report, give many -interesting details of Hampton’s work and prospects. - - -FISK UNIVERSITY, NASHVILLE. - -MISS ANNA M. CAHILL. - -On Sunday, May 20, the baccalaureate sermon was preached in the -chapel of Livingstone Missionary Hall. This and all the other -exercises of Commencement had the added interest of being the first -held in our new building—a building in whose beauty and usefulness -for school purposes we have rejoiced all the year. - -Ten young people—three graduating from the higher normal course -and seven from the college course—listened to the earnest words of -President Cravath, spoken especially to them, from John 14:23, on -the power and need of an inner life of communion with God. - -The annual missionary meeting which is always held by the -missionary society on the evening of Commencement Sunday, was -duly observed. Tidings had reached us of the illness of Secretary -Woodworth, who was to have given the missionary address, and, -failing to supply his place, we were thrown back upon our own -existing missionary zeal, which, we were glad to find, burned -brightly enough upon the home hearth to make a solemn, impressive -hour of this last Sunday service. - -Our Commencement week happened to coincide with “military week” -in Nashville, for which great preparation had been made, and the -city was gaily decorated with the national colors, and crowded -with people. We had feared the effect of the excitement on the -school, but found no cause for anxiety. Our pupils were too much -absorbed in their work to be drawn away by the attractions of the -parade ground, and our audiences seemed not to be much increased or -diminished by the event. The class admitted to college on Monday -evening numbers eight, three of whom are children of professors in -the university. Among the essays and orations of the evening, were -pleas to imaginary millionaires in the audience for a gymnasium, -a conservatory of music and other improvements. Thus the incoming -classes are seeing needs and making demands which the university -has no means of meeting. - -On Tuesday there drove up to the door of Livingstone Hall a -furniture wagon, from which was unloaded a suspicious-looking -rectangular box addressed to Prof. A. K. Spence. Strange that -through the law of association so much of harmony can be suggested -by so simple a geometrical form. Curious eyes watched the opening, -and saw with delight on lifting the top a handsome Steinway square -grand piano. It was carried into the chapel and placed upon the -platform. Rumor said it was a gift, but nothing further could be -learned until Commencement day. - -In the midst of the exercises of the higher normal graduation on -Wednesday evening, Secretary Woodworth entered and took a retired -seat on the platform. His health was so far restored as to enable -him to travel, though not in time to reach us before Sunday. The -alumni address, which formed part of the programme of the evening, -was given by Prof. McPherron. After this Secretary Woodworth was -called out from his retirement and spoke for a few minutes. The -list of alumni was read, the present work of each stated and the -announcement made that steps had already been taken by the alumni -to raise gradually a sufficient sum to endow a professorship in the -university. - -The last great day, Thursday, was as perfect as clear skies and -fresh, dustless air could make it. A large audience of both white -and colored people assembled early. The young men marched to -Jubilee Hall, and a procession was there formed to return to the -chapel. The British flag was draped over the platform on this -birthday of England’s queen, and the room was bright with terraces -of flowering plants. The seven young people who appeared as -candidates for a degree represent many years of work on the part -of student and teacher; the average length of time spent in the -institution by members of the class is seven years. The one young -lady took for her theme, the great field of work opening before -and among the girls of the South and the necessary training for -that work. Spoken from her standpoint her words were full of solemn -meaning. After the graduates had finished their part, we listened -eagerly to the address of Dr. Washington Gladden on the causes of -poverty, ignorance and vice—the threefold evil against which we are -fighting. - -When the final piece of music had been sung, Prof. Spence asked -permission to say a few words, and after some rapid wheeling -of pianos to certain places on the platform, announced that -Mrs. General Fisk had presented the new piano for the chapel of -Livingstone Hall. Its companion was given by the same lady some -years ago for the parlors of Jubilee Hall. Mention was made of the -many other gifts of Mrs. Fisk, and a vote of gratitude for her -kindness was heartily given by the entire audience. To afford an -opportunity to hear both pianos together, Mendelssohn’s wedding -march was played as a quartet. - -A prominent Southern gentleman of Nashville, himself a former -slaveholder, was present for the first time with other invited -guests at the alumni dinner, and spoke warmly, cordially and -strongly for our work. The most encouraging comment that I have -heard on the exercises of the week was made by a former student, -who was present: “It seems to me that every Commencement is better -than the last.” So may it continue to be while Fisk University -stands. - - -TALLADEGA COLLEGE. - -BY REV. C. L. WOODWORTH, D.D. - -Talladega, in Eastern Central Alabama, is a bright village of a -thousand people, lying high up among the hills, away from the -malaria which lurks in the valleys below. The air is soft and -bracing, the water pure and sweet, and the whole region eminently -beautiful. Here Talladega College was founded in 1867. The college -is beautiful for situation, and in this respect would contest -the palm with any institution we have, except possibly, Fisk -at Nashville. Encircled on all sides by green mountain ranges, -lying far up among the hills, it is one of the most inviting and -salubrious spots in the State, and must have been foreordained as -the site of a college. - -The institution is well equipped for work. Stone Hall, Swayne -Hall, Graves Hall, and Foster Hall are solid and comely, and have -accommodated more than 298 students the present year. And of the -campus, on which Swayne Hall sits, shaded with superb water oaks, -it must be said we know of nothing finer in the South. Connected -with the college is a farm of some 200 acres, mostly cultivated -by the young men. Here they learn the art, as well as the science -of farming, and here the supplies for the students’ table are -principally raised. - -It may be doubted whether any school of the A. M. A. is occupying -a more needy field, or has around it a larger constituency. -Alabama has a colored population of some 630,000, for whom -Talladega College is the only institution in the State offering -to them the advantages of the higher education. For the supply of -trained teachers, of educated ministers, and of intelligent and -reliable leaders—for this immense multitude Talladega must be the -main reliance. The college, therefore, has a mission at its own -doors, and for the present has more than it can do to meet the -home demand. Its students are scattered throughout the State, as -teachers and preachers, and their influence is felt in every public -interest. - -The Faculty of the college is able, clear-headed and intensely -in earnest. President De Forest is an enthusiast in his work. -Scholarly, inspiring, magnetic and full of faith in the capacity of -the negro for the finest culture, and to reach the highest manhood, -he does not mind the isolation of his position, nor the ostracism -attending it, but finds perpetual joy in seeing the good work -prosper in his hands. - -It was my good fortune to be present during parts of three days in -Commencement week, though not permitted to witness the exercises -on Commencement day. Of the general air of the school there can -be only words of praise. The quiet of the students on the campus, -on the streets, in the class rooms, the self-respect in their -bearing everywhere manifest, was a token both of the discipline -of the school and of the spirit of the scholars. We heard -creditable examinations in grammar, in Virgil, in the evidences -of Christianity and in the life of Christ. But the exercise which -interested us most was the reading of six or seven essays by -members of the theological class. These papers, we were assured, -had received scarcely any alteration in passing through the hands -of the professor. They were clear, sharp, radical in thinking and -independent in style and expression. Two college presidents were -brought to the bar of criticism, and it really looked as if the -students had the best of the argument. Yet there was no appearance -of arrogance or of self-conceit; only the air of honest, thoughtful -men. - -The class of students as a whole seemed made up of earnest, -aspiring youth, eager for an education and willing to make every -possible sacrifice in order to secure it. As an instance, I saw -a man in the grammar school, somewhere from thirty-five to forty -years of age, who will work in the foundry six months or a year, -and then will take his earnings and go to school as long as they -will last. This he has been repeating for years. Another was -pointed out to me who had worked on the farm a whole year, and then -was using up his credits in schooling and board. - -I should not give a complete idea of the college unless I spoke -particularly of its religious tone. This is of the highest, and was -especially satisfactory. President De Forest is a man of profound -religious convictions, and has not the slightest faith in education -which does not include the moral as well as the intellectual -character. Hence the Bible is put underneath all the courses of -instruction, and religion made the practical and ever-present duty -of the daily life. - -Talladega, like so many other institutions, needs endowments for -its various chairs of instruction. For lack of these it is sadly -limited in the good it might accomplish, and its Faculty are badly -handicapped and bearing burdens which are making them old before -their time. Let me whisper into the ear of men who are asking what -they shall do with the wealth committed to their care: Here is an -object worthy of their largest charity, and, at the same time, -an object most needy and most appealing. Let them give to this -thousands and tens of thousands, and they will make no mistake. - - -STRAIGHT UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS. - -REV. W. S. ALEXANDER, D.D. - -It would, we believe, be the judgment of the Faculty and the -public, that the past year has been one of exceptional prosperity. -Our catalogue shows a roll of 380 names with an average attendance -larger than any previous year. The examinations in the Law -Department came first in order. The ordeal was severe, certainly -a fair test of legal reading, and fidelity to lectures. Ten young -men, eight white and two colored, met this ordeal with great credit -to themselves and their instructors, and received their degree of -Bachelor of Law. They have since been admitted by the Supreme Court -to practice in all the courts of the State. It should be mentioned -as a sign of growth in public sentiment, that one of the Professors -in the Law Department, a native Charlestonian, has lately published -a Book on Admiralty Law, and on the title page appended to his name -the following: “Professor of Commercial Law, Equity, and Admiralty -in Straight University.” The Sumner Literary Society was addressed -by Gen. R. B. Elliot, formerly in Congress from South Carolina. -He is one of the most eloquent representatives of the colored -race. His treatment of the theme “The Advance of Civilization in -the United States,” was able, eloquent, and scholarly. It was a -rare pleasure to listen to him. He was a friend of Charles Sumner, -and the dead statesman had no more eloquent eulogist than he. -Our Alumni Association was addressed by Rev. A. E. P. Albert, of -the class of ’81. His oration was a careful defense of the negro -against the rude and savage assaults recently made upon him. A poem -was delivered by Mr. Colwell, of Baton Rouge, of the class of ’79. -It possessed real poetic merit, and was gracefully delivered. He -was cheered to the echo. It was interesting to observe the hearty -enthusiasm of the audience over “the coming poet.” The Annual -Exhibition at the University Chapel, under the direction of our -most faithful and efficient Dean, was a great success. The Chapel -was crowded to excess, and a happier audience is seldom gathered. - -Our Commencement on Tuesday evening in Central Church was an -indication both of the excellence and efficiency of the instruction -afforded by the University, and the strong hold which the school -has gained in the public regard and appreciation. The large -auditorium was crowded. A fair estimate of the audience would -place it at 800, and they remained with delighted attention from -8 o’clock to 11 o’clock. Four young men and one young woman -graduated from the Classical Department, and two young men from the -Higher English Department. Their orations were well and carefully -written, showing mature thought and manly convictions. It was -certainly suggestive of the possibilities of the race to see the -manly bearing of these young people, and to hear them treat with -real ability and eloquence such themes as “The first Century of -the Republic,” “The Survival of the Fittest,” “Pride of Race” and -“Head Workers and Hand Workers.” To those who have a chronic habit -of detracting from the abilities of the negro we say, “_beat them -if you can_.” It was a delightful feature of Commencement that the -son of our beloved dean took his diploma in the Higher English -Department, and delivered an oration on “The Future Fields of -Conquest in Science,” which did credit to his heart and his head. -We departed from our usual custom in conferring upon two of our -graduates the degree of Bachelor of Science. It was the judgment of -the Faculty and our Board of Trustees that this should be done. The -young men have devoted several years to classical and scientific -study in the University; their scholarship has averaged 9¼ on a -scale of 10, and they have pursued such special studies as the -Faculty have assigned them. At the close of the regular examination -a special examination was appointed for them before a committee -of the Board of Trustees, in whose presence they also read a -scientific thesis, the one on “Applied Electricity” and the other -on “The Copernican System.” Thus closes another school year, and we -are able to say as never before: “Hope is in the ascendant” for our -beloved University. Service this year has been a joy, and Almighty -God has crowned that service with his blessing. To Him be all the -glory. - - -TOUGALOO UNIVERSITY. - -The assembling of the Sunday-school and the study of the lesson -entitled Paul and Barnabas in Cyprus, with “Separate me Barnabas -and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them,” as its -key-note, seemed a most fitting introduction to the Commencement -exercises upon the close of which a large number of the students -were to go forth to their summer’s work. - -Following the Sunday-school exercises, and in keeping with -the custom of previous anniversaries of this institution, a -Sabbath-school convention was held, in which was discussed a -variety of topics calculated to stimulate and aid the students in -their Sunday-school work. These exercises were enjoyed by a large -number of people, many of whom were from a distance. - -At 7:30 P.M. the chapel was again filled. The well-drilled choir -sang “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills” in a way to inspire -all present. The sermon to the graduating class was upon the words, -“Return to thine own house and show how great things God hath done -unto thee.” - -Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were occupied with the oral -examinations of the different departments. These examinations -were well sustained by the students, who gave good evidence that -their instructors had been faithful and thorough in their work. -The attendance of visitors upon the examinations was good, but -as the last day drew near, large numbers arrived by every train. -Many came by their own conveyances. One persistent young man, a -former student, eager to attend the Commencement, came a distance -of thirty miles _on foot_. On Wednesday evening the audience room -was filled with an expectant throng. The exhibition which called -it together was greatly enjoyed, and reflected much credit upon -those charged with the laborious task of planning and training and -bringing it to pass. - -When Thursday morning dawned, many more were added to the number -of visitors already present. The audience assembled promptly at -11 o’clock. Members of the State Board of Visitors, with other -distinguished guests, were upon the platform. The music by the -choir elicited much praise. Three young men and two young women -having completed the Elementary Normal Course were graduated, -receiving certificates of fitness to teach the common English -branches. Five others were appointed to supplement the programme of -literary exercises. - -The essays and orations presented covered the following range of -topics: “The Teachers;” “Genius and Success;” “Whitewash;” “Why -a Young Man Should Seek a Thorough Education;” “The Material -Advancement of the South;” “The Cause of Temperance;” “As You -Would Have It;” “The Study of Physical Science;” “The American -Missionary Association;” “Home.” The Principal of the Normal -Department then presented certificates to the graduating class, -setting forth in a few well chosen and emphatic words the nature of -these certificates, of the step the graduates had taken, and that -there was more beyond. Col. J. L. Power, editor of the _Clarion_, -a man of wide influence in the State and a staunch friend of the -school, spoke on behalf of the State Board of Visitors, of which -he is the Secretary. He paid a glowing tribute to the work of the -school and of the American Missionary Association. In referring -to the essay on “Whitewash,” he said there was no _whitewashing_ -done at Tougaloo—that it was the _genuine_ stuff. Referring to -the oration on the American Missionary Association, he said he -had known considerable about the Association and its work, but -that he was amazed at the magnitude of its work. In closing his -speech, which also was without “whitewash,” he said it would be -the pleasure of the Board of Visitors at the meeting of the next -Legislature to ask for at least as large an appropriation as the -institution had received for the last two years. Rev. Dr. C. B. -Galloway, Editor of the _Southern Christian Advocate_, was then -introduced. He commended the work of the institution and expressed -his satisfaction with the original, direct, practical, common-sense -way in which the essays and orations had been written and -presented. He was impressed with the absence of grandiloquent gush, -so characteristic of the youthful mind on Commencement platforms. - -After the Commencement dinner the graduating class held their “Ivy -Exercise,” which consisted of a class song, class poem, planting -the ivy and an address by a member of the Faculty. - -In the evening R. W. Jackson, class of ’80, delivered the address -before the Alumni, on “Decision.” It was well written and full of -interest. At its close Mr. G. W. Jackson of Whiteside, Tenn., a -former student, and Miss Rosa McCutcheon of Chattanooga, Tenn., -class of ’82, stepped upon the _Commencement_ platform and were -united in Christian marriage, constituting by this sacred tie a -_Christian family_. Thus closed a most successful year of faithful -work. - - -THEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT, HOWARD UNIVERSITY. - -REV. J. G. CRAIGHEAD, D.D. - -The anniversary exercises were held in the Fourth Presbyterian -Church, Washington City, May 4, when six young men who had -completed the regular three years’ course of study received the -usual certificate of the department. Five delivered addresses -before a large audience, and were subsequently complimented by many -of the most judicious friends of the race who were present, for -the discriminating and just treatment of their subjects, and for -their evident improvement of the advantages of instruction which -they had enjoyed. One of the graduates sails in June for Africa, -as a missionary of the Presbyterian Board; another is waiting an -opportunity to labor on the same continent; the remaining four go -to the wide and needy field in the South—each in a different State, -so great is the demand for capable laborers. - -The past year has been one of marked favor and prosperity to the -department. Thirty-four students have been under instruction, and -there has been no interruption in study, by reason of sickness, -either on the part of professors or students. The location of the -institution on the high ground north of the city, overlooking both -it and the Potomac River, is most conducive to health, while it -secures the quiet essential to educational work. With a complete -and regularly systematized course of studies extending over three -years; with six Professors (thanks to the wise liberality of the -American Missionary Association) imparting instruction in all the -branches of study pursued in like theological seminaries in this -country, pious young men can here be prepared to become effective -workmen for Christ, either at home or abroad. As these advantages -become better known to those wishing to study for the ministry, we -may expect that an increased number will seek to profit by them. - -And this is desirable for many reasons. With our present -facilities we could equally well instruct twice or thrice the -present number did the men present themselves having the proper -preliminary education for the study of theology. Our greatest need -is _scholarships_, both to secure this elementary training and -to assist students while in the theological department. Without -some aid, but few can obtain a proper education for usefulness in -the university. Not much is required, as compared with what white -students require and receive, but this little is necessary to -stimulate personal effort, and to help them over insurmountable -obstacles on the road to useful knowledge. Is there a cheaper -or better way for patriots or Christians to solve this social, -political, moral and religious problem? - - -WILMINGTON, N.C. - -BY MR. W. H. THRALL. - -Perhaps the tendency of this people is to give much prominence -to showy performances. We have aimed this year in Wilmington to -check this, and not to allow preparations for the “exhibition” to -interrupt regular recitation-room work. - -The scholars were early given to understand that the last monthly -examinations would be more than usually difficult; that they would -be oral as well as written, and that very much would depend upon -the results. The last four days of the school year were given up to -the examinations. If the readers of THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY could -have hurried through the deep sands of Wilmington’s streets, to our -school building on one of those days, they would have seen four -rooms crowded with anxious workers, telling with tongue or pen, -what they had been learning during the months past. - -Some of the pupils, after writing steadily for two or three hours -at a time begged the privilege of continuing their work at the -noon recess and after school hours. The papers spoke for the -thoroughness of the work that they had done. - -Upon the walls were hung map drawings, specimens of penmanship and -of freehand drawing, that would compare well with exhibits which -I have seen in rooms of the same grades in the best schools in -the North. In the First Primary Room were two things of especial -interest: a table covered with needle-work made by the smallest -girls of the school, and two sets of papers placed side by side, -showing the penmanship, spelling, figures, etc., of the same pupil -in October, 1882, and in May, 1883. The work of the pupils of that -room at the number-table, and their writing and reading, encourage -us that there is reason for hope in the coming generation of -colored people. - -The closing exercises of the school were held Tuesday evening, -May 29th. The hall, the aisles, entries, doors and windows were -crowded. The men even climbed the verandas to reach us. The pupils -had flooded us with the choicest flowers, grasses and foliage, -and the hall was beautifully decorated. The part the pupils had -in adorning it spoke well for their taste. At the appointed time -the audience of between four and five hundred was called to order, -and the programme commenced. For two hours and a half the throng -sat or stood, listening to recitations, declamations, dialogues, -essays, one oration, songs, etc. I wish the people of the North -who question the promise of this race could have been present. -There was hardly one hesitation in the recitations; the essays and -oration showed thought and good English; and little boys and girls -gave concert recitations in perfect unison. - -Important features of the programme were, a tableau called “The -tempted boy and the guardian angel,” designed to give an object -lesson on temperance, and an illustrated poem by pupils of the -Grammar and Normal Room. Both of these exercises proved the pupils’ -readiness to understand and their quickness to execute. The teacher -in charge had but little time to teach them, yet everything was -done with ease and rapidity. - -The evening’s entertainment was a fresh exhibit to us all of the -talent and the tact that lie dormant in this race, which is to -be the ruling race in twelve States at no distant day; and we -bade “good-bye” to our pupils with new courage to go on with a -work which must be slow, but is essential to the very life of our -country. - - -EMERSON INSTITUTE, MOBILE, ALA. - -BY MISS HELEN D. BARTON. - -Anniversary exercises at Emerson Institute, May 25th. The -much-talked-of and long-looked-for last day of school had come. -Though it was the last day many of the last things had already -been done. The last hour of hard study was over, the last -recitation heard, the last examination paper marked. The two days -preceding had been devoted to what were, by courtesy, called oral -examinations. In reality, however, much of the time, in the lower -rooms at least, was devoted to the entertainment of the visitors. -The favorite songs were sung and the best recitations made. If -George Washington’s mother or sister came in, George’s classes -were called, his slate work was examined and compared with others, -and he was invited to recite his “speech.” A variation from the -programme was made again and again that as far as possible the -visitors might judge of the work of the children in whom they are -more especially interested. This could be done as the certificates -for promotion were given on the standing of the pupils in the -written examinations held the second week in May. - -Friday morning the children came together as a school for the last -time. After devotional exercises the departments were dismissed -to their own rooms, where the teacher read the per cents. of the -examinations and presented each pupil with a certificate grading -him for the coming year. Many faces brightened with pleasure. -Some few showed dissatisfaction; having fallen slightly below the -desired average they find the obnoxious word conditionally written -on the card. Others still feel bitter disappointment; having -failed, they must remain in the same grade. Some of these deserve -our sympathy, the failure being caused by poverty or sickness; -others are only reaping the reward of carelessness and indolence. - -When the distribution of certificates was completed, Miss Caughey, -the principal, went in turn to each department, and after adding -her word of encouragement to the disappointed ones and approbation -to the successful ones, invited the promoted class to seats in the -room the next grade above. This ceremony was impressive, and many -showed the conflicting emotions of joy and sadness, joy at the -honor conferred and a sadness at the thought of separation from -teacher and schoolmates which caused them to go reluctantly to the -places assigned. - -At the appointed hour in the evening the assembly room was filled -to overflowing with the eager happy children and their friends. -After prayer by Rev. O. D. Crawford the exercises given by the -pupils were called in, according to the programme. Mr. Crawford and -General Slaughter, Post-Master of the city, made brief remarks. -Where each one endeavored to do his best, it is difficult to -mention those who excelled. “Mother Goose and her Friends” chiefly -served the spice for the entertainment. One of our white friends -found it difficult to believe that this ancient singer of nursery -rhymes was not a middle aged woman instead of the young girl she -really is. The “Friends” were received with enthusiasm also, even -down to the “brave boy” Johnnie Horner, the baby of our school. The -tableau of “Hiawatha” was thoroughly enjoyed. In “Songs of Seven,” -the recitations “Seven Times One,” by little Odelia Chavanah and -“Seven Times Seven” by Miss Sallie Washington, were received -with gratifying applause. The valedictory by Miss Belle Daniels -deserved and received high praise. To critical eyes, no doubt, many -defects were evident; but our audience seemed well pleased and -congratulations were freely given. I think most of those present -would agree with old Aunt Gracie in her remark, summing it all up: -“It was delightful to be looked at.” - - -LE MOYNE INSTITUTE, MEMPHIS. - -[A large amount of space is given in the _Memphis Daily Appeal_, -the _Daily Memphis Avalanche_ and the _Public Ledger_ to reports -of the anniversary exercises of the Le Moyne Institute. These, -with accompanying editorial paragraphs, indicate the high esteem -in which Prof. Steele and his corps of workers are held and the -appreciation of his school. The anniversary was attended by two -thousand people. The enthusiasm is represented to have been -continuous from the beginning to the end of the exercises, and the -effort of Prof. Steele to raise money for the Institute from the -citizens of Memphis was endorsed by many present. We give below an -extract from the _Appeal_ which represents how our work is regarded -by the better class of Southern people.—ED.] - -The feeling in this city in favor of universal education was never -stronger than it is now. This is plainly shown by the interest -everywhere manifested in the Le Moyne Institute or school for -negroes, which gave so enjoyable an entertainment at the Greenlaw -Opera-house Monday night. A number of prominent citizens who were -present expressed the greatest surprise and astonishment, and the -opinion was general that the inculcation of ideas such as those of -which the graduates seemed possessed was bound to do good to them, -and by reflection upon the balance of the community. - -“Was the entertainment at the Opera-house just as you reported it?” -asked a gentleman of an _Appeal_ reporter yesterday. - -“Justice was not fully done,” was the reply. - -“And the Le Moyne is a colored institution?” - -“Yes.” - -“You surprise me,” the gentlemen replied. “I have heard the Le -Moyne frequently spoken of, but had no idea it was accomplishing -all it is said to have done. Why, the subjects chosen by the -essayists could be handled only by those possessed of considerable -knowledge.” - -“Yes, it is a new idea in the South,” remarked a listener, who had -been present at the entertainment, “and I find it difficult to say -whether I was most surprised or delighted. I heard every essay and -recitation from beginning to end, and there was not a break or -stumble, no stopping to recover breath, no tedious repetitions. The -absence of the parrot was noticeable. The novelty of the affair -held my attention at first, but I soon forgot this, and found -myself drifting along with the essayists as they waded into their -subjects. Another thing that struck me forcibly was the absence of -rant in the young men and the failure to giggle on the part of the -young women. They seemed to take it as a matter of course that they -were there, and that their audience would be interested in what -they might have to say. I, for one am heartily in favor of keeping -up the good work. No man who thinks can say that every negro in the -land would not be better off and better fitted to cope with the age -in which lives, if he had enough education to enable him to throw -off the dense cloud of superstition—a mixture of ignorance and -faith—in which he is now enveloped. The country would be better, -its tone purer and healthier, if every man in it were educated.” - -“The music furnished by the graduates particularly attracted me,” -said a lady teacher who heard it. “I have always contended that -the negro had a passion for music of a certain rich and melodious -kind, but could not appreciate its delicate shading, and could -have no conception of it as a science. I am ready now to say -I was mistaken. Though the music the other night was nothing -extraordinary, I heard enough to convince me that its interpreters -had a good idea of symphony, and could with proper training, rise -to a high degree of excellence. The solo ‘I’ll Follow Thee’, was -one of the sweetest things I ever heard in public or private. The -voice of the young woman who sang it was pure and clear, every -cadence soft and melodious, every note in perfect tune. It was a -genuine revelation.” - -“The whole entertainment was a revelation to me,” remarked an old -planter. “I attended the exhibition out of pure curiosity, never -dreaming that it would impress me as it has done. I have always -scouted the idea of negro education, and I may say I have been -its enemy. I am perfectly willing to give way now, however. But I -have one lingering fear—that it will take a wrong direction and -have a tendency to create an idle class and deplete the ranks of -labor, farm labor especially. If those who have the training of -the negro will keep this danger before them and guard against it, -then the result of their labor will be good; but if they fail and -allow their pupils to think labor is degrading; to think that man’s -only province is to cultivate his mind, then the result will be -deplorable. This I notice, however, has already been seen, and -I cannot say I have any fears on that score from the Le Moyne -Institute.” - -Perhaps no subject has been more discussed than this since the -exhibition last Monday night. - - * * * * * - - - - -THE INDIANS. - - * * * * * - - -CATHOLIC MISSIONS.—RECENT CHANGES. - -REV. MYRON EELLS, S’KOKOMISH, W.T. - -About 30 years ago a Catholic priest came here, taught the people, -baptized some of them, made a few Indian priests, and left, so that -for many years previous to the assignment of the Agency to the -American Missionary Association they had received little religious -instruction. Intermarriage with some of the tribes where the -Catholics have had teachers has kept up remembrance of those early -times. One Indian especially, who has been among the very worst, -belongs to this class. Having failed to conquer the agent, he gave -up, but when he returned seemed determined if he failed in one way -to try another, and so began to revive the old Catholic religion, -and he has held such services frequently for a number of years. - -About two years ago an Indian before his death saw several strange -visions, which combined some truth with much of the old Indian -superstition. This man leaned toward the Catholics, partly because -I did not believe these revelations to be of as much value as -the Bible, and partly because his relations favored the Catholic -religion. A few of them set up regular services, partly Catholic -and partly after their own revelations. At funerals they sometimes -wished me to officiate in company with them, but in most cases they -have given up and let me have the whole service. - -Last fall another Indian who had moved away and taken a homestead -about 20 miles from here apparently died, but after six and a half -hours revived and told of wonderful things which he had seen. He -has since been baptized by the Catholics, built a church and become -a priest. - -Last summer I spoke of two promising young men whom I hoped would -be of great Christian service here. The most promising after doing -very well for a time, brought great disgrace upon himself and was -suspended from the church. I have tried to show him his error, but -thus far it has not produced the result desired. - -These Indians have almost entirely lost faith in their old religion -as such, but naturally want one of some kind. They are, however, -unwilling to give up their horse-racing and some of them their -gambling. I have been asked by several to baptize them, but refused -because of these things. The Catholic religion allows all this, and -so they have turned to it. The consolidation of the three Puget -Sound agencies into one last fall has given us thus far less moral -force here. - -There have been occasional light spots. A letter came from Pearl -Street Church, in Hartford, where I taught a Sabbath-school -class fourteen years ago, offering us a barrel. It seemed very -providential, as if God were saying: “You work on, and I will take -care of the support.” The barrel came and everything appeared to -be so good that the children squealed, as they do not often, while -each article was taken out, and their mother often said: “How very -thoughtful the people were,” and we all had to thank God for it. - -I have just returned from a visit to the Clallam Indians. I found -some of them doing well and some very badly, the agent having -during the past seven months had six times as many Indians to look -after as formerly, and the best subordinates which he has been able -to obtain have disappointed him. On the other hand, some have done -quite well, especially those who have procured land for homes. The -Christian Indians thus far stand well. They are not perfect, but -progressing. Two were received into the church during my visit, -and three others joined last November. The school-teacher, who -had resigned, left while I was there, and it is thought best to -give them a long vacation before sending them another. He had -charge of the Sabbath-school. The church expects to keep up its -regular services, including that of the Sabbath-school and a weekly -prayer-meeting. I have been fortunate in procuring some large, -cheap Bible pictures, which have taken the fancy of the Indians -very much. They have been in demand by all classes. I have already -obtained or ordered about 185 of them. I can impart religious truth -by them better than in any other way. - - * * * * * - - - - -THE CHINESE. - - * * * * * - - -ANNIVERSARIES—THE WORK DURING APRIL AND MAY. - -REV. W. C.

It will be difficult to compress within my space all that I -would like to say. - -Our mission at Santa Cruz celebrated its second anniversary -on Sunday evening, April 8. It was an occasion of great and -encouraging interest. Instead of the fifteen or twenty Chinese -present at the previous anniversary, we had at least fifty with -us. Instead of an assembly of Americans occupying in respectable -numbers the pews of the church, we had every inch of available -standing-room occupied, and I am told, at least two hundred went -away from the church door, unable to enter. - -The fact that Chinese once settled in Santa Cruz, seem inclined to -stay there, and that consequently the membership of the school has -been less changeable than in some other places, gave us a better -opportunity than is sometimes afforded to measure the progress -during a year. The showing gave me great encouragement. There had -been marked progress in the use of the English language and in the -knowledge of the truth. Best of all, several who a year ago were -heathen, now seem to be true followers of our Lord Jesus Christ. -The contribution was the largest I ever received on any such -occasion, except in our own Bethany Church. It amounted in cash and -in pledges to over $100. - -Our schools in San Francisco celebrated their eighth public -anniversary on April 29. This, too, was an exceedingly interesting -service, and our Bethany Church was filled. The point of special -interest and encouragement about it was this: That while the -exercises were in all respects equal to those of any previous -year, we were not obliged to call in the aid of any of our -helpers, except as they assisted in the service of song. The -original address in English by Lung Chung was a frank, manly and -effective statement of his own Christian life, with its faults and -shortcomings, as well as its new, strange light and peace. - -I lay before the readers of the MISSIONARY the following paragraph, -which I placed in the _Pacific_ of May 9. I trust they will be -interested in the statement of facts, and am not without hope that -they will listen kindly to the appeal: - -“The monthly reports for April show seventeen schools in active -operation and thirty-nine teachers and helpers employed. The total -number of pupils enrolled was 991; the average attendance, 415. The -attendance in this city is temporarily diminished on account of -the darkness of the streets; otherwise the enrollment would have -exceeded 1,000, and the average attendance would have approached -500. Of those now in attendance on the schools 172 profess to have -ceased from idolatry, and 116 are believed to be true Christians. -Two hundred and thirty-one new names were enrolled, and the -total number who have been connected with our schools during the -last eight months is no less than 2,356. With the beginning of -this month of May, another school is added to our list—the one -in Alameda. It has been sustained for several years with a most -Christ-like devotion by Mrs. E. L. Wilson. Unable to carry it on -any longer alone, she appeals to our mission for aid, and though -the operations already in hand task our resources to their utmost, -we could not let so good a work as Mrs. Wilson had been doing die -for the lack of a helping hand. It will be necessary to raise in -addition to the appropriation made by the American Missionary -Association, $5,500 to carry this work through to August 31, the -close of the present fiscal year. The utmost care is taken to make -each dollar do its best, but it is impossible to sustain so large -a work on less than $1,000 per month. A careful review of the -statistics given above will lead, I am sure, not to criticism of -the amount, but rather to surprise that at so little cost so much -has been accomplished. Of the $5,500 needed, I have on hand, or in -sight, $3,000, and for the balance I make an earnest appeal to our -churches, and to all friends of Christ and of humanity.” - - * * * * * - - - - -BUREAU OF WOMAN’S WORK. - - * * * * * - - -TO THE LADIES OF THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCHES. - -DEAR FRIENDS: Permit me to call your attention to the urgent needs -of the American Missionary Association in its department of Woman’s -Work. - -Many earnest Christian women are personally engaged as missionaries -at the South, and among the Chinese and the Indians. They give -instruction in home duties, improved housekeeping, family -government, the best use of money; they gather children into -Sunday-schools, teach in day and boarding-schools—bearing with them -always the blessed Gospel truth, the foundation on which we build. - -We need your aid in the support of these missionaries and -missionary teachers, who will thus become your representatives in -the field. Laboring with a lowly and despised people, they are cut -off in many instances from social privileges, and your Christian -love and remembrance will give strength and good cheer. - -We need scholarships to aid worthy and needy students. Our -boarding-schools are doing a great work for _girls_, and often a -young girl is saved to a useful life by supplementing her meagre -funds and retaining her in school. We need supplies of clothing for -distribution by missionaries in getting the young into school and -Sabbath-school; also furnishing of bed and table linen for mission -homes and boarding halls. Already our matrons are asking supplies -of this kind. - -We are indebted to the ladies of many of the Congregational -churches for valuable aid rendered, and now that the way is opened -for more direct communication with you, may we not hope that all -will become co-workers with our noble band of missionaries in -seeking to instruct and benefit the women of races so ignorant and -degraded as those with whom we labor? - -We invite special correspondence in regard to the various fields -and the aid that can be given. Surely so important a work, not -limited to schools, but extending to the family and the church -relations, cannot be accomplished until _woman_ reaches forth her -hand to sister woman in uplifting helpfulness. - - Yours truly, - D. E. EMERSON, Secretary. - - * * * * * - - -MISSION HOMES. - -MISS D. E. EMERSON. - -“What is the Mission Home?” The question has often been asked by -friends contributing to our work, as well as by those about to -engage in it, and from the latter we have had some rather striking -descriptions of what they supposed the home to be, and of their -pleasant surprise upon reaching it. It is not a boarding hall for -students, as many have thought. Such halls are in connection with -boarding schools and accommodate both teachers and students. - -The Mission Home, of which we give a specimen in the accompanying -cut, is at stations where we have churches and day schools, and is -the home of the pastor and teachers. In some of the larger cities, -as Wilmington, N.C., Savannah, Ga., Mobile, Ala., we have graded -schools requiring a teaching force of from six to ten persons. Then -there are the pastor and family and the lady missionary, and the -home accommodates all. As each has a special line of duty occupying -the full time, a matron is appointed to take charge of household -affairs and secure by her good management a pleasant and happy -home for the family. Sometimes the wife of the pastor or principal -acts as matron, sometimes the duties of matron and missionary are -combined. It is no insignificant position to have charge of such -a home, and our matrons are as truly missionaries as any in our -field; besides the direct opportunities of usefulness among the -people, they may add to the efficiency of every member of the -family by the cheerful, genial, restful spirit of the home, which -it is largely in their power to maintain. - -This plan of Mission Homes has its advantages to the work. It gives -opportunity to teach by example varied lessons in home life, of -neatness, economy and thrift. The family altar is set up, and often -some members of school or church join in the morning or evening -song of praise. Social parlor-gatherings are had, when the people -are cordially invited and are engaged in pleasant conversation and -games, which, while interesting them, tend to their improvement. -Here are often held the mothers meetings and the sewing class, and -daily the people come singly or by twos or threes for special help -and advice, knowing that they are welcome, and that they will find -in some members of the family the wise counsellor and friend. - -We can scarcely overestimate the educative influence of these -Mission Homes upon the people. Even where there are but few workers -employed, we cannot wisely dispense with them. Within a year we -have built a small house in a country district where two ladies are -employed as missionary teachers. It is plain, two stories, contains -five rooms, is simply furnished, and cost about $900. There the -ladies keep house, and they testify, as also do other missionaries -from the city station near, that this little “Home” has already -done more for the people as an “object lesson” in home life than -all previous effort in that direction. - -In other articles in this department, our friends will learn how -they may share with us in this method of usefulness. - - * * * * * - - -LETTER FROM MRS. CHASE, ATLANTA. - -Mrs. Nelson has just called with her friend from the North, Mrs. -Barker, who looked over school and domestic work very carefully, -and then began plying me with questions, when Miss Stevenson, -our missionary, dropped in. Mrs. Barker’s face lighted up as she -exclaimed, “Now I have you both together, the teacher and the -missionary, I want to know where you think a little money will do -the most good?” Mrs. Nelson said: “Each one loves her own work -too well to be a competent judge.” Miss Stevenson, you know, is one -of our veterans, been in the field ever since the war. For years -her mind and body were tied in the class-room six hours in the -day, but her heart was in the cabins all the while; and as soon as -she got relief from double duty, how she has put her whole soul -into missionary work! With her pleading eyes upon me, how could I -magnify my work above her’s? - -[Illustration: A MISSION HOME.] - -Since they left, I’ve been thinking that Mrs. Barker probably -represents many women who wish their mites to go where they are -most interested. Their hearts, like that of every true mother, -yearn over these girls in their great peril, and these boys, -driven from their wretched homes to the street for recreation. If -missionary work, unlike the school, were without organization, -systematic routine, or superintendence, it could not recommend -itself to the cautious. But under the well-defined plan adopted of -associating the missionary labor with the school and church, the -best results are secured. - -Much as I love the model school, I can but see that the model home -is its only sure foundation. So the work is all one. - -I only hope that the grandeur of “Work for Women in the Home” may -be so felt that the noblest women will be drawn into the service, -and develop such plans and mature such methods that the multitude -of busy mothers and children, all over our land, can cast in their -pennies and feel sure of a wise investment. - - * * * * * - - -QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. - -H., N.Y.—What are the qualifications required of those who wish -to become lady missionaries? Could one succeed with only a -common-school education? - -Sometimes a lady with only a common-school education does better -than one more liberally educated. It depends upon the qualities -of the woman, the executive ability, the tact, the practical good -sense, and knowledge of human nature. Of course, all other things -being equal, the more thorough the education the better the work. - -B., N.Y.—What is the cost of supporting a lady missionary, and how -many months during the year is it expedient for her to labor in the -South? - -It takes $450 to provide for a lady missionary for one year, -including traveling expenses, board and a moderate salary. The time -of service varies somewhat in different localities. At the extreme -South she can wisely remain eight months of the year; further -north, nine or ten. For other particulars we refer to the March -number of the _Missionary_, which is devoted largely to woman’s -work. - -New York.—What assistance can sewing circles and ladies’ societies -render during the summer months that would be most helpful and -timely? - -We shall need during the early autumn for replenishing our boarding -departments and mission homes, quilts, sheets, pillow-cases, -blankets, towels, table linen, table ware, and money for furnishing -rooms in new buildings to be occupied by students. Help in either -of these particulars will save so much for the support of the -missionary work. - -S., Ct.—What provision is made during vacation for young girls who -have been taken from wretched homes into your institutions? Are -they obliged to return to the temptations and want of their early -associations? If not, what is the cost for their care during this -time? - -There is nothing more important for the well-being of many colored -girls than suitable watch and care during their summer vacations. -We have been unable to do much in this direction. A few have been -kept in the different boarding institutions, where the buildings -have been open. These have been given work whenever opportunity -offered. Thirty or thirty-five dollars would provide for a girl in -addition to what she could earn. We would be glad to correspond -with any who are disposed to assist in this way. - -R., Mass.—Our children have been accustomed to contribute to the -Dakota schools through the Woman’s Board of Foreign Missions. Does -the A. M. A. wish us to continue our interest in that particular -work? - -Certainly it does. We sincerely hope that all those who have been -interested in the support of missions among the Indians will -continue their efforts and forward their gifts to us. The April -number of the AMERICAN MISSIONARY is devoted largely to the work -the Association has accepted from the American Board, and is now -carrying on. We shall need the cordial co-operation and support of -all the friends of the Indians in order to conduct the enlarged -work we have undertaken in their behalf. - - * * * * * - - - - -CHILDREN’S PAGE. - - * * * * * - -[Illustration: ABOUT GIVING PENNIES—SELECTED.] - - -FIVE KINDS OF PENNIES. - -A boy who had a pocket full of coppers, dropped one into the -Missionary-box, laughing as he did so. He had no thought in his -heart about Jesus or the heathen. Was his penny not as light as -_tin_? - -Another boy put in a penny and looked around to see if anybody was -praising him. His was the _brass_ penny; not the gift of a lowly -heart, but of a proud spirit. - -A third boy gave a penny, saying to himself, “I suppose I must, -because all others do.” - -That was an _iron_ penny. It was the gift of a cold, selfish heart. - -As a fourth boy dropped his penny into the box he shed a tear, and -his heart said, “Poor heathens! I’m sorry they are so poor, so -ignorant and so miserable.” - -That was a _silver_ penny, the gift of a heart full of pity. - -But there was one scholar who gave his, saying, “For Thy sake, -Lord Jesus! Oh, that the heathen may hear of Thee, the Saviour of -mankind!” - -That was a _golden_ penny, because it was the gift of faith and -love. - - -THE PENNY BOX. - -They were giving away Missionary boxes at a Juvenile Missionary -meeting to the boys and girls who thought they could collect a -little money for sending the Gospel to the heathen. Among those -who asked for a box was a poor child, so poor that the chairman -hesitated at first to give her a box; on consideration, however, he -let her have one. - -About a fortnight afterward, this little girl called upon him in -great trouble. He said to her, “Why, Sarah, what are you crying -for? Cannot you get any money to put into your box?” - -“No, sir, it is not that,” sobbed Sarah, “it is so full I don’t -know how I shall get any more in, the last penny was so hard to get -in I had to take a hammer to hammer it!” - -The gentleman said, “Well, Sarah, I think we can easily get over -that difficulty—here is another box for you.” - -But this was not all; when Sarah first applied for a box, she did -so just because her feelings of compassion had been awakened for -the poor heathen children; but while she was busily engaged in -collecting, the thought came into her mind, “What am I collecting -this money for? That the poor _heathen_ children may be taught -about Jesus, but what do _I know about Him myself_?” - -Sarah then began to pray, and begged God the Holy Spirit to teach -her about Jesus, and that was the commencement of a new life to the -dear child. - - -WHAT A PENNY CAN DO. - -Willie’s penny made heaven rejoice. It would not have bought more -than a stick or two of candy or given much help to a starving -family. What did he do with it? His sister was a missionary’s wife -in Africa, and the family were filling a box to send her. As one -after another brought their gifts Willie said, “I want to give my -penny.” - -“What shall be bought with it?” was the next question. It was -decided to buy a tract and write its history on the margin, and -with a prayer for its success send it on its distant errand. - -The box arrived on the mission ground, and among its valuable -contents Willie’s gift was laid away unnoticed and for a while -forgotten. But God’s watchful, all-seeing eye had not forgotten it. -One day a native teacher was starting from the mission station to -go to a school over the mountain. He knew the language well and was -a great help to the missionaries, but he was not a Christian. He -had resisted everything the missionaries had done to make him one. - -In looking over some papers, Willie’s tract was discovered, -with writing on the margin, which said that prayer was offered -in America that it might do good. It was handed to the native -teacher. He read it on his journey, and what years of labor by the -missionaries had not done was now brought about by the penny tract. -The man became a sincere Christian. Those who put the tract in his -hand were overcome with joy, and there is joy in heaven over one -sinner that repents. - -So you see how Willie’s penny made heaven rejoice. - - * * * * * - - - - -RECEIPTS FOR MAY, 1883. - - * * * * * - - - MAINE, $141.46. - - Alfred.

It -has given a brighter horizon to the blacks and elevated the -aspirations of the whites. In many localities it has afforded an -entirely new industry, and given pleasures and pastimes foreign to -all the former experiences of the lowly laboring people of that -locality. This is especially seen in the anniversaries of the -institutions founded through the benevolence of the North. These -hold their closing exercises at this season, and in many instances -make the country alive with enthusiasm for the progress of the -rising generation. There are several features of these occasions -that register the tide-mark of a growing civilization, and are, -therefore, fitted to encourage those who are watching the destinies -of the country and the success of Christ’s kingdom in the world.</p> - -<p>It is a notable fact that philanthropic people from the North are -interested to make journeys South to attend these anniversaries. -Something<a class="pagenum" name="Page_194" id="Page_194">[194]</a> of interest and profit is expected not only by those -immediately connected with the schools, but by the citizens of the -country where the school exists. Commencement Day is coming to be a -general holiday, a time when whole families come in for miles to be -present to witness the graduation of children or friends; to hear -the fine music, to listen to the addresses, and to observe whatever -of interest attaches to the occasion. These great assemblies are -inspiring, educative, reformatory.

The chief subjects for discussion during the Assembly -will be National Aid to Common Schools, The Negro in America, the -Mormon Question, and the Indian Question. The following, with other -well-known persons, are announced to be present and address the -meetings: Gen. John Eaton, Frederick Douglas, Bishop Simpson, Rev. -A. D.

Dr. Flickinger, the Secretary, visited Africa to mature -plans for carrying on <a id="Err_1" name="Err_1"></a>the mission in connection with the one -maintained in the immediate vicinity (the Shengay) by his society. -He has just returned and made report, from which we take the -following extract:</p> - -<p>“We opened a new station at Manboh, a town about midway from Avery -to Shengay, immediately on the coast, which is quite a suitable -place for a mission. This is in charge of Rev. Mr. Fowler, who -commenced work at that point the middle of March, and when last -heard from was doing well. We now have ten native missionaries -employed, who are giving their entire time to teaching and -preaching, and with the help afforded by Rev. Mr. Gomer and Mr. -Wilberforce, are to preach in 113 towns as often as once in two -weeks, and in some every week. With the four stations and 31 -preaching places on the Mendi side and eight on the Sherbro side, -we now have 12 stations and as many day and Sunday-schools, with -144 towns or preaching places to be provided for in connection with -these missions. The Boomphe Mission, which has four stations and 40 -towns lying to the northeast from Sherbro Mission, as Mendi lies to -the southeast, the three extending over 100 miles along the coast -and embracing 184 towns, are giving from twelve to fifteen thousand -people the opportunity of hearing the Gospel and several hundred -children the privilege of attending both day and Sabbath-school.”</p> -</div> - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<div class="article"> -<h3>THE JOHN BROWN STEAMER.</h3> - -<p>Rev. Dr. Flickinger was also empowered to contract for the John -Brown steamer, and visited England last December, on his way -to Africa, spending some days in conference with ship builders -relating to the kind and size of vessel needful. Before closing -the contract, however, he decided to examine the depth and width -of the rivers upon which it was to be used and other matters -involved in its success in connection with the Mendi Mission. Upon -his return to England in May, he contracted with Mr. Edward Hayes, -of Stratford, for the construction of the steamer. It is to be 60 -feet long, 12 feet beam and 7 feet deep amid ships, draft of water -3½ feet, speed from 7 to 8 miles per hour to carry 15 tons cargo -besides coal for running two days, and to have cabin accommodations -for seven persons and room for the crew in the forecastle. It is -to be of the best of iron and material throughout. Its engine will -be 36 horse-power and of the most substantial kind, and the boiler -of ample size and strength, adapted for wood or coal. It is to be -finished in the early autumn and to cost £1,777. To this must be -added<a class="pagenum" name="Page_196" id="Page_196">[196]</a> about £300 for transporting and putting it in order for use, -or a little above $10,000 in all.

The Geographical Society of London has given two hundred -pounds for the enterprise.</p> - -<p>—The English government has accepted an offer made by several -chiefs to cede to it a strip of territory between Liberia and -Sherbro 30 kilometres in length and two in width.

About 40 are professing Christians. Three or four are -studying for the ministry, and one has gone back to China as a -missionary.</p> - -<p>—There are 60 Chinamen in Springfield, Ohio, 30 of whom are -members of the Sabbath-school.

C. R. Hager and Lee Sam, sent by the American Board to -establish a mission in those districts of South China from which -the Chinese in America have come, are already at work. A house -has been rented and an evening school for the instruction of the -Chinese in English provided for.

LUDLOW.</p> - -<p>The fourteenth anniversary of Hampton Institute was observed on -May 24. The morning was devoted as usual to examinations and -recitations, with exhibitions of the products of the various -industrial departments and their operation. The Senior class was -examined in political economy and civil government, literature, -ancient history, arithmetic and algebra. They did very creditably, -stimulated by the occasion, as is usual, to do their best. They had -undergone less brilliantly, but on the whole fairly well, a severer -test during three days previous, of written and oral examinations, -conducted by or before an invited examining committee, consisting -of Prof. Samuel Elliot, LL.D., late Superintendent of schools in -Boston, and Prof. Albert Salisbury, Superintendent of Education for -the American Missionary Association Schools. The general average of -the class on the subjects marked by Prof. Salisbury (arithmetic and -political economy) was 70 and a fraction, several standing from 90 -to 93. Dr. Eliot’s eyes not allowing him to inspect papers closely, -the others were marked by Mrs. E. N. L. Walton of Boston, who came -down to conduct for the third time the annual Normal Institute at -Hampton for its Senior class and graduates.</p> - -<p>The under classes had their customary reviews. The Indian classes -were special attractions, as usual, particularly the division of -latest comers, in which some tiny girls and solemn braves emulated -each other in telling, in unexceptionable English, what went -into and out of a remarkably omnivorous bag, and what evolutions -were performed by its various contents; their teacher winning -Dr. Eliot’s enthusiastic declaration that “her praises ought to -be sounded from the gutter to the university.” The Indians also -did well in geography, history, arithmetic and an elementary -botany class. The little kitchen-gardeners from the Butler School -were as captivating as usual in their white pinafores and red -turbans and housekeeping accomplishments. The center of the -industrial exhibition was the Stone Memorial building; handsome -wood work, turned moldings, flooring, doors, sashes, etc., from -the “Huntington Industrial Works;” shoes ready for filling the -contract for agency supplies; shining tinware from the “Indian -Training Shop,” sets of harness from the same; desks, settees, -tables and cupboards made for the school, and a neatly painted -sign—all the work of Indian and colored apprentices, whose names, -with the period of their training, from five months to three years, -were indicated on cards affixed to their respective productions. -The wheelwright and blacksmith shops showed similarly ax-helves, -wheels and iron work, and outside the door two gaily painted farm -carts proclaimed the skill of Indian and Negro mechanics. The -tailoring department showed suits of clothes made by colored and -Indian hands. The girls of both races were represented by very neat -sewing and inviting-looking cake. The farm products had a table to -themselves; early vegetables, grains and grasses. An interesting -exhibit was that of the little carpenters from the Butler School, -a couple of miniature frame houses, clap-boarded and painted, with -sets of tables, desks and chairs for furnishing.</p> - -<p><a class="pagenum" name="Page_201" id="Page_201">[201]</a></p> - -<p>The Normal School Press office had its own exhibit of printing and -book binding. The press was running, the student compositors, boys -and girls at their cases, and the veteran United States soldier at -his book-binder’s table.</p> - -<p>The various shops were all in operation through part of the -morning, and many visitors walked through them to see the -Afric-American, native African and Indian apprentices working side -by side at their various trades in the commodious quarters in which -most are at last accommodated. Some extended their walk to the barn -to visit the stock.</p> - -<p>The afternoon exercises in Whitin Chapel and Virginia Hall -consisted, as usual, of essays by the graduating class and former -graduates, with music by the school choir, a recitation of one of -Whittier’s poems by a modest ladylike Indian girl of the Junior -class, and a talk in the Sioux language by one of the three young -Indian fathers now in training with their families at Hampton. His -wife and baby boy stood admiring listeners in the doorway, ready -to vanish when the applause of the latter became too vociferous. -The Indian said impressively (interpreted by a school mate), “You -all know that when a man walks in darkness, if he sees a light -somewhere he will go to it; so I want you all to have compassion on -us and teach us more of your knowledge. I am always thinking about -the good news. I came myself to learn how to tell the good news to -my people and show them the right way. We know that you have helped -us, but we need more help. If anybody told you to do something you -never had done before, could you do it at once? They will have -to tell you three or four times before you know how to do it. My -friends, that is just the way with the Indians.”</p> - -<p>Diplomas were presented to the twenty-eight members of the -graduating class. Interesting speeches followed by several of the -invited guests. Prof. Newell, Superintendent of the Maryland State -Normal school in Baltimore, Dr. Eliot, Rev. Dr. Furber of Newton, -Mass., Rev. Dr. Mix of Fall River, Rev. Dr. Burrows and Rev. Mr. -Spiller of Norfolk, the last, a colored minister, all made very -enthusiastic and telling impromptu addresses under the inspiration -of the occasion.</p> - -<p>The average attendance of pupils for the year just past, has -been 510, of which 110 have been Indians. The work done compares -favorably with that of former years. The annual reports of the -Principal, teachers and heads of industrial departments, published -in the June number of the <cite>Southern Workman</cite>, and still more -fully in pamphlet form, with the treasurer’s report, give many -interesting details of Hampton’s work and prospects.</p> -</div> - - -<div class="article"> -<h3>FISK UNIVERSITY, NASHVILLE.</h3> - -<p class="secauth">MISS ANNA M. CAHILL.</p> - -<p>On Sunday, May 20, the baccalaureate sermon was preached in the -chapel of Livingstone Missionary Hall. This and all the other -exercises of Commencement had the added interest of being the first -held in our new building—a building in whose beauty and usefulness -for school purposes we have rejoiced all the year.</p> - -<p>Ten young people—three graduating from the higher normal course -and seven from the college course—listened to the earnest words of -President Cravath, spoken especially to them, from John 14:23, on -the power and need of an inner life of communion with God.</p> - -<p>The annual missionary meeting which is always held by the -missionary society on the evening of Commencement Sunday, was -duly observed. Tidings had reached us of the illness of Secretary -Woodworth, who was to have given the missionary address, and, -failing to supply his place, we were thrown back upon our own -existing missionary zeal, which, we were glad to find, burned<a class="pagenum" name="Page_202" id="Page_202">[202]</a> -brightly enough upon the home hearth to make a solemn, impressive -hour of this last Sunday service.</p> - -<p>Our Commencement week happened to coincide with “military week” -in Nashville, for which great preparation had been made, and the -city was gaily decorated with the national colors, and crowded -with people. We had feared the effect of the excitement on the -school, but found no cause for anxiety. Our pupils were too much -absorbed in their work to be drawn away by the attractions of the -parade ground, and our audiences seemed not to be much increased or -diminished by the event. The class admitted to college on Monday -evening numbers eight, three of whom are children of professors in -the university. Among the essays and orations of the evening, were -pleas to imaginary millionaires in the audience for a gymnasium, -a conservatory of music and other improvements. Thus the incoming -classes are seeing needs and making demands which the university -has no means of meeting.</p> - -<p>On Tuesday there drove up to the door of Livingstone Hall a -furniture wagon, from which was unloaded a suspicious-looking -rectangular box addressed to Prof. A. K. Spence. Strange that -through the law of association so much of harmony can be suggested -by so simple a geometrical form. Curious eyes watched the opening, -and saw with delight on lifting the top a handsome Steinway square -grand piano. It was carried into the chapel and placed upon the -platform. Rumor said it was a gift, but nothing further could be -learned until Commencement day.</p> - -<p>In the midst of the exercises of the higher normal graduation on -Wednesday evening, Secretary Woodworth entered and took a retired -seat on the platform. His health was so far restored as to enable -him to travel, though not in time to reach us before Sunday. The -alumni address, which formed part of the programme of the evening, -was given by Prof. McPherron. After this Secretary Woodworth was -called out from his retirement and spoke for a few minutes. The -list of alumni was read, the present work of each stated and the -announcement made that steps had already been taken by the alumni -to raise gradually a sufficient sum to endow a professorship in the -university.</p> - -<p>The last great day, Thursday, was as perfect as clear skies and -fresh, dustless air could make it. A large audience of both white -and colored people assembled early. The young men marched to -Jubilee Hall, and a procession was there formed to return to the -chapel. The British flag was draped over the platform on this -birthday of England’s queen, and the room was bright with terraces -of flowering plants. The seven young people who appeared as -candidates for a degree represent many years of work on the part -of student and teacher; the average length of time spent in the -institution by members of the class is seven years. The one young -lady took for her theme, the great field of work opening before -and among the girls of the South and the necessary training for -that work. Spoken from her standpoint her words were full of solemn -meaning. After the graduates had finished their part, we listened -eagerly to the address of Dr. Washington Gladden on the causes of -poverty, ignorance and vice—the threefold evil against which we -are fighting.</p> - -<p>When the final piece of music had been sung, Prof. Spence asked -permission to say a few words, and after some rapid wheeling -of pianos to certain places on the platform, announced that -Mrs. General Fisk had presented the new piano for the chapel of -Livingstone Hall. Its companion was given by the same lady some -years ago for the parlors of Jubilee Hall. Mention was made of the -many other gifts of Mrs. Fisk, and a vote of gratitude for her -kindness was heartily given by the<a class="pagenum" name="Page_203" id="Page_203">[203]</a> entire audience. To afford an -opportunity to hear both pianos together, Mendelssohn’s wedding -march was played as a quartet.</p> - -<p>A prominent Southern gentleman of Nashville, himself a former -slaveholder, was present for the first time with other invited -guests at the alumni dinner, and spoke warmly, cordially and -strongly for our work. The most encouraging comment that I have -heard on the exercises of the week was made by a former student, -who was present: “It seems to me that every Commencement is better -than the last.” So may it continue to be while Fisk University -stands.</p> -</div> - - -<div class="article"> -<h3>TALLADEGA COLLEGE.</h3> - -<p class="secauth">BY REV. C. L. WOODWORTH, D.D.</p> - -<p>Talladega, in Eastern Central Alabama, is a bright village of a -thousand people, lying high up among the hills, away from the -malaria which lurks in the valleys below. The air is soft and -bracing, the water pure and sweet, and the whole region eminently -beautiful. Here Talladega College was founded in 1867. The college -is beautiful for situation, and in this respect would contest -the palm with any institution we have, except possibly, Fisk -at Nashville. Encircled on all sides by green mountain ranges, -lying far up among the hills, it is one of the most inviting and -salubrious spots in the State, and must have been foreordained as -the site of a college.</p> - -<p>The institution is well equipped for work. Stone Hall, Swayne -Hall, Graves Hall, and Foster Hall are solid and comely, and have -accommodated more than 298 students the present year. And of the -campus, on which Swayne Hall sits, shaded with superb water oaks, -it must be said we know of nothing finer in the South. Connected -with the college is a farm of some 200 acres, mostly cultivated -by the young men. Here they learn the art, as well as the science -of farming, and here the supplies for the students’ table are -principally raised.</p> - -<p>It may be doubted whether any school of the A. M. A. is occupying -a more needy field, or has around it a larger constituency. -Alabama has a colored population of some 630,000, for whom -Talladega College is the only institution in the State offering -to them the advantages of the higher education. For the supply of -trained teachers, of educated ministers, and of intelligent and -reliable leaders—for this immense multitude Talladega must be the -main reliance. The college, therefore, has a mission at its own -doors, and for the present has more than it can do to meet the -home demand. Its students are scattered throughout the State, as -teachers and preachers, and their influence is felt in every public -interest.</p> - -<p>The Faculty of the college is able, clear-headed and intensely -in earnest. President De Forest is an enthusiast in his work. -Scholarly, inspiring, magnetic and full of faith in the capacity of -the negro for the finest culture, and to reach the highest manhood, -he does not mind the isolation of his position, nor the ostracism -attending it, but finds perpetual joy in seeing the good work -prosper in his hands.</p> - -<p>It was my good fortune to be present during parts of three days in -Commencement week, though not permitted to witness the exercises -on Commencement day. Of the general air of the school there can -be only words of praise. The quiet of the students on the campus, -on the streets, in the class rooms, the self-respect in their -bearing everywhere manifest, was a token both of the discipline -of the school and of the spirit of the scholars. We heard -creditable examinations in grammar, in Virgil, in the evidences -of Christianity and in the life of Christ. But the exercise which -interested us most was the reading of six or seven essays by -members of the theological class. These papers, we were assured, -had received scarcely any alteration in passing through the hands -of the professor. They were<a class="pagenum" name="Page_204" id="Page_204">[204]</a> clear, sharp, radical in thinking and -independent in style and expression. Two college presidents were -brought to the bar of criticism, and it really looked as if the -students had the best of the argument. Yet there was no appearance -of arrogance or of self-conceit; only the air of honest, thoughtful -men.</p> - -<p>The class of students as a whole seemed made up of earnest, -aspiring youth, eager for an education and willing to make every -possible sacrifice in order to secure it. As an instance, I saw -a man in the grammar school, somewhere from thirty-five to forty -years of age, who will work in the foundry six months or a year, -and then will take his earnings and go to school as long as they -will last. This he has been repeating for years. Another was -pointed out to me who had worked on the farm a whole year, and then -was using up his credits in schooling and board.</p> - -<p>I should not give a complete idea of the college unless I spoke -particularly of its religious tone. This is of the highest, and was -especially satisfactory. President De Forest is a man of profound -religious convictions, and has not the slightest faith in education -which does not include the moral as well as the intellectual -character. Hence the Bible is put underneath all the courses of -instruction, and religion made the practical and ever-present duty -of the daily life.</p> - -<p>Talladega, like so many other institutions, needs endowments for -its various chairs of instruction. For lack of these it is sadly -limited in the good it might accomplish, and its Faculty are badly -handicapped and bearing burdens which are making them old before -their time. Let me whisper into the ear of men who are asking what -they shall do with the wealth committed to their care: Here is an -object worthy of their largest charity, and, at the same time, -an object most needy and most appealing. Let them give to this -thousands and tens of thousands, and they will make no mistake.</p> -</div> - - -<div class="article"> -<h3>STRAIGHT UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS.</h3> - -<p class="secauth">REV. W. S. ALEXANDER, D.D.</p> - -<p>It would, we believe, be the judgment of the Faculty and the -public, that the past year has been one of exceptional prosperity. -Our catalogue shows a roll of 380 names with an average attendance -larger than any previous year. The examinations in the Law -Department came first in order. The ordeal was severe, certainly -a fair test of legal reading, and fidelity to lectures. Ten young -men, eight white and two colored, met this ordeal with great credit -to themselves and their instructors, and received their degree of -Bachelor of Law. They have since been admitted by the Supreme Court -to practice in all the courts of the State. It should be mentioned -as a sign of growth in public sentiment, that one of the Professors -in the Law Department, a native Charlestonian, has lately published -a Book on Admiralty Law, and on the title page appended to his name -the following: “Professor of Commercial Law, Equity, and Admiralty -in Straight University.” The Sumner Literary Society was addressed -by Gen. R. B. Elliot, formerly in Congress from South Carolina. -He is one of the most eloquent representatives of the colored -race. His treatment of the theme “The Advance of Civilization in -the United States,” was able, eloquent, and scholarly. It was a -rare pleasure to listen to him. He was a friend of Charles Sumner, -and the dead statesman had no more eloquent eulogist than he. -Our Alumni Association was addressed by Rev. A. E. P. Albert, of -the class of ’81. His oration was a careful defense of the negro -against the rude and savage assaults recently made upon him. A poem -was delivered by Mr. Colwell, of Baton Rouge, of the class of ’79. -It possessed real poetic merit, and was gracefully delivered. He -was cheered to the echo. It was interesting to<a class="pagenum" name="Page_205" id="Page_205">[205]</a> observe the hearty -enthusiasm of the audience over “the coming poet.” The Annual -Exhibition at the University Chapel, under the direction of our -most faithful and efficient Dean, was a great success. The Chapel -was crowded to excess, and a happier audience is seldom gathered.</p> - -<p>Our Commencement on Tuesday evening in Central Church was an -indication both of the excellence and efficiency of the instruction -afforded by the University, and the strong hold which the school -has gained in the public regard and appreciation. The large -auditorium was crowded. A fair estimate of the audience would -place it at 800, and they remained with delighted attention from -8 o’clock to 11 o’clock. Four young men and one young woman -graduated from the Classical Department, and two young men from the -Higher English Department. Their orations were well and carefully -written, showing mature thought and manly convictions. It was -certainly suggestive of the possibilities of the race to see the -manly bearing of these young people, and to hear them treat with -real ability and eloquence such themes as “The first Century of -the Republic,” “The Survival of the Fittest,” “Pride of Race” and -“Head Workers and Hand Workers.” To those who have a chronic habit -of detracting from the abilities of the negro we say, “<em>beat them -if you can</em>.” It was a delightful feature of Commencement that the -son of our beloved dean took his diploma in the Higher English -Department, and delivered an oration on “The Future Fields of -Conquest in Science,” which did credit to his heart and his head. -We departed from our usual custom in conferring upon two of our -graduates the degree of Bachelor of Science. It was the judgment of -the Faculty and our Board of Trustees that this should be done. The -young men have devoted several years to classical and scientific -study in the University; their scholarship has averaged 9¼ on -a scale of 10, and they have pursued such special studies as the -Faculty have assigned them. At the close of the regular examination -a special examination was appointed for them before a committee -of the Board of Trustees, in whose presence they also read a -scientific thesis, the one on “Applied Electricity” and the other -on “The Copernican System.” Thus closes another school year, and we -are able to say as never before: “Hope is in the ascendant” for our -beloved University. Service this year has been a joy, and Almighty -God has crowned that service with his blessing. To Him be all the -glory.</p> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h3>TOUGALOO UNIVERSITY.</h3> - -<p>The assembling of the Sunday-school and the study of the lesson -entitled Paul and Barnabas in Cyprus, with “Separate me Barnabas -and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them,” as its -key-note, seemed a most fitting introduction to the Commencement -exercises upon the close of which a large number of the students -were to go forth to their summer’s work.</p> - -<p>Following the Sunday-school exercises, and in keeping with -the custom of previous anniversaries of this institution, a -Sabbath-school convention was held, in which was discussed a -variety of topics calculated to stimulate and aid the students in -their Sunday-school work. These exercises were enjoyed by a large -number of people, many of whom were from a distance.</p> - -<p>At 7:30 <span class="smcap lowercase">P.M.</span> the chapel was again filled. The well-drilled -choir sang “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills” in a way to -inspire all present. The sermon to the graduating class was upon -the words, “Return to thine own house and show how great things God -hath done unto thee.”</p> - -<p>Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were occupied with the oral -examinations of the different departments. These examinations -were well sustained by the students,<a class="pagenum" name="Page_206" id="Page_206">[206]</a> who gave good evidence that -their instructors had been faithful and thorough in their work. -The attendance of visitors upon the examinations was good, but -as the last day drew near, large numbers arrived by every train. -Many came by their own conveyances. One persistent young man, a -former student, eager to attend the Commencement, came a distance -of thirty miles <em>on foot</em>. On Wednesday evening the audience room -was filled with an expectant throng. The exhibition which called -it together was greatly enjoyed, and reflected much credit upon -those charged with the laborious task of planning and training and -bringing it to pass.</p> - -<p>When Thursday morning dawned, many more were added to the number -of visitors already present. The audience assembled promptly at -11 o’clock. Members of the State Board of Visitors, with other -distinguished guests, were upon the platform. The music by the -choir elicited much praise. Three young men and two young women -having completed the Elementary Normal Course were graduated, -receiving certificates of fitness to teach the common English -branches. Five others were appointed to supplement the programme of -literary exercises.</p> - -<p>The essays and orations presented covered the following range of -topics: “The Teachers;” “Genius and Success;” “Whitewash;” “Why -a Young Man Should Seek a Thorough Education;” “The Material -Advancement of the South;” “The Cause of Temperance;” “As You -Would Have It;” “The Study of Physical Science;” “The American -Missionary Association;” “Home.” The Principal of the Normal -Department then presented certificates to the graduating class, -setting forth in a few well chosen and emphatic words the nature of -these certificates, of the step the graduates had taken, and that -there was more beyond. Col. J. L. Power, editor of the <cite>Clarion</cite>, -a man of wide influence in the State and a staunch friend of the -school, spoke on behalf of the State Board of Visitors, of which -he is the Secretary. He paid a glowing tribute to the work of the -school and of the American Missionary Association. In referring -to the essay on “Whitewash,” he said there was no <em>whitewashing</em> -done at Tougaloo—that it was the <em>genuine</em> stuff. Referring to -the oration on the American Missionary Association, he said he -had known considerable about the Association and its work, but -that he was amazed at the magnitude of its work. In closing his -speech, which also was without “whitewash,” he said it would be -the pleasure of the Board of Visitors at the meeting of the next -Legislature to ask for at least as large an appropriation as the -institution had received for the last two years. Rev. Dr. C. B. -Galloway, Editor of the <cite>Southern Christian Advocate</cite>, was then -introduced. He commended the work of the institution and expressed -his satisfaction with the original, direct, practical, common-sense -way in which the essays and orations had been written and -presented. He was impressed with the absence of grandiloquent gush, -so characteristic of the youthful mind on Commencement platforms.</p> - -<p>After the Commencement dinner the graduating class held their “Ivy -Exercise,” which consisted of a class song, class poem, planting -the ivy and an address by a member of the Faculty.</p> - -<p>In the evening R. W. Jackson, class of ’80, delivered the address -before the Alumni, on “Decision.” It was well written and full of -interest. At its close Mr. G. W. Jackson of Whiteside, Tenn., a -former student, and Miss Rosa McCutcheon of Chattanooga, Tenn., -class of ’82, stepped upon the <em>Commencement</em> platform and were -united in Christian marriage, constituting by this sacred tie a -<em>Christian family</em>. Thus closed a most successful year of faithful -work.</p> -</div> -<p><a class="pagenum" name="Page_207" id="Page_207">[207]</a></p> - -<div class="article"> -<h3>THEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT, HOWARD UNIVERSITY.</h3> - -<p class="secauth">REV. J. G. CRAIGHEAD, D.D.</p> - -<p>The anniversary exercises were held in the Fourth Presbyterian -Church, Washington City, May 4, when six young men who had -completed the regular three years’ course of study received the -usual certificate of the department. Five delivered addresses -before a large audience, and were subsequently complimented by many -of the most judicious friends of the race who were present, for -the discriminating and just treatment of their subjects, and for -their evident improvement of the advantages of instruction which -they had enjoyed. One of the graduates sails in June for Africa, -as a missionary of the Presbyterian Board; another is waiting an -opportunity to labor on the same continent; the remaining four -go to the wide and needy field in the South—each in a different -State, so great is the demand for capable laborers.</p> - -<p>The past year has been one of marked favor and prosperity to the -department. Thirty-four students have been under instruction, and -there has been no interruption in study, by reason of sickness, -either on the part of professors or students. The location of the -institution on the high ground north of the city, overlooking both -it and the Potomac River, is most conducive to health, while it -secures the quiet essential to educational work. With a complete -and regularly systematized course of studies extending over three -years; with six Professors (thanks to the wise liberality of the -American Missionary Association) imparting instruction in all the -branches of study pursued in like theological seminaries in this -country, pious young men can here be prepared to become effective -workmen for Christ, either at home or abroad. As these advantages -become better known to those wishing to study for the ministry, we -may expect that an increased number will seek to profit by them.</p> - -<p>And this is desirable for many reasons. With our present -facilities we could equally well instruct twice or thrice the -present number did the men present themselves having the proper -preliminary education for the study of theology. Our greatest need -is <em>scholarships</em>, both to secure this elementary training and -to assist students while in the theological department. Without -some aid, but few can obtain a proper education for usefulness in -the university. Not much is required, as compared with what white -students require and receive, but this little is necessary to -stimulate personal effort, and to help them over insurmountable -obstacles on the road to useful knowledge. Is there a cheaper -or better way for patriots or Christians to solve this social, -political, moral and religious problem?</p> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h3>WILMINGTON, N.C.</h3> - -<p class="secauth">BY MR. W. H. THRALL.</p> - -<p>Perhaps the tendency of this people is to give much prominence -to showy performances. We have aimed this year in Wilmington to -check this, and not to allow preparations for the “exhibition” to -interrupt regular recitation-room work.</p> - -<p>The scholars were early given to understand that the last monthly -examinations would be more than usually difficult; that they -would be oral as well as written, and that very much would depend -upon the results. The last four days of the school year were -given up to the examinations. If the readers of <span class="smcap">The American -Missionary</span> could have hurried through the deep sands of -Wilmington’s streets, to our school building on one of those days, -they would have seen four rooms crowded with anxious workers, -telling with tongue or pen, what they had been learning during the -months past.</p> - -<p>Some of the pupils, after writing steadily for two or three hours -at a time<a class="pagenum" name="Page_208" id="Page_208">[208]</a> begged the privilege of continuing their work at the -noon recess and after school hours. The papers spoke for the -thoroughness of the work that they had done.</p> - -<p>Upon the walls were hung map drawings, specimens of penmanship and -of freehand drawing, that would compare well with exhibits which -I have seen in rooms of the same grades in the best schools in -the North. In the First Primary Room were two things of especial -interest: a table covered with needle-work made by the smallest -girls of the school, and two sets of papers placed side by side, -showing the penmanship, spelling, figures, etc., of the same pupil -in October, 1882, and in May, 1883. The work of the pupils of that -room at the number-table, and their writing and reading, encourage -us that there is reason for hope in the coming generation of -colored people.</p> - -<p>The closing exercises of the school were held Tuesday evening, -May 29th. The hall, the aisles, entries, doors and windows were -crowded. The men even climbed the verandas to reach us. The pupils -had flooded us with the choicest flowers, grasses and foliage, -and the hall was beautifully decorated. The part the pupils had -in adorning it spoke well for their taste. At the appointed time -the audience of between four and five hundred was called to order, -and the programme commenced. For two hours and a half the throng -sat or stood, listening to recitations, declamations, dialogues, -essays, one oration, songs, etc. I wish the people of the North -who question the promise of this race could have been present. -There was hardly one hesitation in the recitations; the essays and -oration showed thought and good English; and little boys and girls -gave concert recitations in perfect unison.</p> - -<p>Important features of the programme were, a tableau called “The -tempted boy and the guardian angel,” designed to give an object -lesson on temperance, and an illustrated poem by pupils of the -Grammar and Normal Room. Both of these exercises proved the pupils’ -readiness to understand and their quickness to execute. The teacher -in charge had but little time to teach them, yet everything was -done with ease and rapidity.</p> - -<p>The evening’s entertainment was a fresh exhibit to us all of the -talent and the tact that lie dormant in this race, which is to -be the ruling race in twelve States at no distant day; and we -bade “good-bye” to our pupils with new courage to go on with a -work which must be slow, but is essential to the very life of our -country.</p> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h3>EMERSON INSTITUTE, MOBILE, ALA.</h3> - -<p class="secauth">BY MISS HELEN D. BARTON.</p> - -<p>Anniversary exercises at Emerson Institute, May 25th. The -much-talked-of and long-looked-for last day of school had come. -Though it was the last day many of the last things had already -been done. The last hour of hard study was over, the last -recitation heard, the last examination paper marked. The two days -preceding had been devoted to what were, by courtesy, called oral -examinations. In reality, however, much of the time, in the lower -rooms at least, was devoted to the entertainment of the visitors. -The favorite songs were sung and the best recitations made. If -George Washington’s mother or sister came in, George’s classes -were called, his slate work was examined and compared with others, -and he was invited to recite his “speech.” A variation from the -programme was made again and again that as far as possible the -visitors might judge of the work of the children in whom they are -more especially interested. This could be done as the certificates -for promotion were given on the standing of the pupils in the -written examinations held the second week in May.</p> - -<p>Friday morning the children came together as a school for the last -time. After devotional exercises the departments were dismissed -to their own rooms, where<a class="pagenum" name="Page_209" id="Page_209">[209]</a> the teacher read the per cents. of the -examinations and presented each pupil with a certificate grading -him for the coming year. Many faces brightened with pleasure. -Some few showed dissatisfaction; having fallen slightly below the -desired average they find the obnoxious word conditionally written -on the card. Others still feel bitter disappointment; having -failed, they must remain in the same grade. Some of these deserve -our sympathy, the failure being caused by poverty or sickness; -others are only reaping the reward of carelessness and indolence.</p> - -<p>When the distribution of certificates was completed, Miss Caughey, -the principal, went in turn to each department, and after adding -her word of encouragement to the disappointed ones and approbation -to the successful ones, invited the promoted class to seats in the -room the next grade above. This ceremony was impressive, and many -showed the conflicting emotions of joy and sadness, joy at the -honor conferred and a sadness at the thought of separation from -teacher and schoolmates which caused them to go reluctantly to the -places assigned.</p> - -<p>At the appointed hour in the evening the assembly room was filled -to overflowing with the eager happy children and their friends. -After prayer by Rev. O. D. Crawford the exercises given by the -pupils were called in, according to the programme. Mr. Crawford and -General Slaughter, Post-Master of the city, made brief remarks. -Where each one endeavored to do his best, it is difficult to -mention those who excelled. “Mother Goose and her Friends” chiefly -served the spice for the entertainment. One of our white friends -found it difficult to believe that this ancient singer of nursery -rhymes was not a middle aged woman instead of the young girl she -really is. The “Friends” were received with enthusiasm also, even -down to the “brave boy” Johnnie Horner, the baby of our school. The -tableau of “Hiawatha” was thoroughly enjoyed. In “Songs of Seven,” -the recitations “Seven Times One,” by little Odelia Chavanah and -“Seven Times Seven” by Miss Sallie Washington, were received -with gratifying applause. The valedictory by Miss Belle Daniels -deserved and received high praise. To critical eyes, no doubt, many -defects were evident; but our audience seemed well pleased and -congratulations were freely given. I think most of those present -would agree with old Aunt Gracie in her remark, summing it all up: -“It was delightful to be looked at.”</p> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h3>LE MOYNE INSTITUTE, MEMPHIS.</h3> - -<p>[A large amount of space is given in the <cite>Memphis Daily Appeal</cite>, -the <cite>Daily Memphis Avalanche</cite> and the <cite>Public Ledger</cite> to reports -of the anniversary exercises of the Le Moyne Institute.

This is plainly shown by the interest -everywhere manifested in the Le Moyne Institute or school for -negroes, which gave so enjoyable an entertainment at the Greenlaw -Opera-house Monday night. A number of prominent citizens who were -present expressed the greatest surprise and astonishment, and the -opinion was general that the inculcation of ideas such as those of -which the graduates seemed possessed was bound to do good to them, -and by reflection upon the balance of the community.</p> - -<p><a class="pagenum" name="Page_210" id="Page_210">[210]</a></p> - -<p>“Was the entertainment at the Opera-house just as you reported it?” -asked a gentleman of an <cite>Appeal</cite> reporter yesterday.</p> - -<p>“Justice was not fully done,” was the reply.</p> - -<p>“And the Le Moyne is a colored institution?”</p> - -<p>“Yes.”</p> - -<p>“You surprise me,” the gentlemen replied. “I have heard the Le Moyne -frequently spoken of, but had no idea it was accomplishing all it -is said to have done. Why, the subjects chosen by the essayists -could be handled only by those possessed of considerable knowledge.”</p> - -<p>“Yes, it is a new idea in the South,” remarked a listener, who had -been present at the entertainment, “and I find it difficult to say -whether I was most surprised or delighted. I heard every essay and -recitation from beginning to end, and there was not a break or -stumble, no stopping to recover breath, no tedious repetitions. The -absence of the parrot was noticeable. The novelty of the affair -held my attention at first, but I soon forgot this, and found -myself drifting along with the essayists as they waded into their -subjects. Another thing that struck me forcibly was the absence of -rant in the young men and the failure to giggle on the part of the -young women. They seemed to take it as a matter of course that they -were there, and that their audience would be interested in what -they might have to say. I, for one am heartily in favor of keeping -up the good work. No man who thinks can say that every negro in the -land would not be better off and better fitted to cope with the age -in which lives, if he had enough education to enable him to throw -off the dense cloud of superstition—a mixture of ignorance and -faith—in which he is now enveloped. The country would be better, -its tone purer and healthier, if every man in it were educated.”</p> - -<p>“The music furnished by the graduates particularly attracted me,” -said a lady teacher who heard it. “I have always contended that -the negro had a passion for music of a certain rich and melodious -kind, but could not appreciate its delicate shading, and could -have no conception of it as a science. I am ready now to say -I was mistaken. Though the music the other night was nothing -extraordinary, I heard enough to convince me that its interpreters -had a good idea of symphony, and could with proper training, rise -to a high degree of excellence. The solo ‘I’ll Follow Thee’, was -one of the sweetest things I ever heard in public or private. The -voice of the young woman who sang it was pure and clear, every -cadence soft and melodious, every note in perfect tune. It was a -genuine revelation.”</p> - -<p>“The whole entertainment was a revelation to me,” remarked an old -planter. “I attended the exhibition out of pure curiosity, never -dreaming that it would impress me as it has done. I have always -scouted the idea of negro education, and I may say I have been -its enemy. I am perfectly willing to give way now, however. But -I have one lingering fear—that it will take a wrong direction -and have a tendency to create an idle class and deplete the ranks -of labor, farm labor especially. If those who have the training -of the negro will keep this danger before them and guard against -it, then the result of their labor will be good; but if they fail -and allow their pupils to think labor is degrading; to think that -man’s only province is to cultivate his mind, then the result will -be deplorable. This I notice, however, has already been seen, and -I cannot say I have any fears on that score from the Le Moyne -Institute.”</p> - -<p>Perhaps no subject has been more discussed than this since the -exhibition last Monday night.</p> -</div> - -<hr class="full" /> - -<p><a class="pagenum" name="Page_211" id="Page_211">[211]</a></p> - -<div class="article"> -<h2>THE INDIANS.</h2> - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<h3>CATHOLIC MISSIONS.—RECENT CHANGES.</h3> - -<p class="secauth">REV. MYRON EELLS, S’KOKOMISH, W.T.</p> - -<p>About 30 years ago a Catholic priest came here, taught the people, -baptized some of them, made a few Indian priests, and left, so that -for many years previous to the assignment of the Agency to the -American Missionary Association they had received little religious -instruction. Intermarriage with some of the tribes where the -Catholics have had teachers has kept up remembrance of those early -times. One Indian especially, who has been among the very worst, -belongs to this class. Having failed to conquer the agent, he gave -up, but when he returned seemed determined if he failed in one way -to try another, and so began to revive the old Catholic religion, -and he has held such services frequently for a number of years.</p> - -<p>About two years ago an Indian before his death saw several strange -visions, which combined some truth with much of the old Indian -superstition. This man leaned toward the Catholics, partly because -I did not believe these revelations to be of as much value as -the Bible, and partly because his relations favored the Catholic -religion. A few of them set up regular services, partly Catholic -and partly after their own revelations. At funerals they sometimes -wished me to officiate in company with them, but in most cases they -have given up and let me have the whole service.</p> - -<p>Last fall another Indian who had moved away and taken a homestead -about 20 miles from here apparently died, but after six and a half -hours revived and told of wonderful things which he had seen. He -has since been baptized by the Catholics, built a church and become -a priest.</p> - -<p>Last summer I spoke of two promising young men whom I hoped would -be of great Christian service here. The most promising after doing -very well for a time, brought great disgrace upon himself and was -suspended from the church. I have tried to show him his error, but -thus far it has not produced the result desired.</p> - -<p>These Indians have almost entirely lost faith in their old religion -as such, but naturally want one of some kind. They are, however, -unwilling to give up their horse-racing and some of them their -gambling. I have been asked by several to baptize them, but refused -because of these things. The Catholic religion allows all this, and -so they have turned to it. The consolidation of the three Puget -Sound agencies into one last fall has given us thus far less moral -force here.</p> - -<p>There have been occasional light spots. A letter came from Pearl -Street Church, in Hartford, where I taught a Sabbath-school -class fourteen years ago, offering us a barrel. It seemed very -providential, as if God were saying: “You work on, and I will take -care of the support.” The barrel came and everything appeared to -be so good that the children squealed, as they do not often, while -each article was taken out, and their mother often said: “How very -thoughtful the people were,” and we all had to thank God for it.</p> - -<p>I have just returned from a visit to the Clallam Indians. I found -some of them doing well and some very badly, the agent having -during the past seven months had six times as many Indians to look -after as formerly, and the best subordinates which he has been able -to obtain have disappointed him. On the other hand, some have done -quite well, especially those who have procured land for homes. The -Christian<a class="pagenum" name="Page_212" id="Page_212">[212]</a> Indians thus far stand well. They are not perfect, but -progressing. Two were received into the church during my visit, -and three others joined last November. The school-teacher, who -had resigned, left while I was there, and it is thought best to -give them a long vacation before sending them another. He had -charge of the Sabbath-school. The church expects to keep up its -regular services, including that of the Sabbath-school and a weekly -prayer-meeting. I have been fortunate in procuring some large, -cheap Bible pictures, which have taken the fancy of the Indians -very much. They have been in demand by all classes. I have already -obtained or ordered about 185 of them. I can impart religious truth -by them better than in any other way.</p> -</div> - -<hr class="full" /> - -<div class="article"> -<h2>THE CHINESE.</h2> - -<hr class="chap" /> - - -<h3>ANNIVERSARIES—THE WORK DURING APRIL AND MAY.</h3> - -<p class="secauth">REV. W. C. POND.</p> - -<p>My report of progress in our Mission covers two months and even -more. It will be difficult to compress within my space all that I -would like to say.</p> - -<p>Our mission at Santa Cruz celebrated its second anniversary -on Sunday evening, April 8. It was an occasion of great and -encouraging interest. Instead of the fifteen or twenty Chinese -present at the previous anniversary, we had at least fifty with -us. Instead of an assembly of Americans occupying in respectable -numbers the pews of the church, we had every inch of available -standing-room occupied, and I am told, at least two hundred went -away from the church door, unable to enter.</p> - -<p>The fact that Chinese once settled in Santa Cruz, seem inclined to -stay there, and that consequently the membership of the school has -been less changeable than in some other places, gave us a better -opportunity than is sometimes afforded to measure the progress -during a year. The showing gave me great encouragement. There had -been marked progress in the use of the English language and in the -knowledge of the truth. Best of all, several who a year ago were -heathen, now seem to be true followers of our Lord Jesus Christ. -The contribution was the largest I ever received on any such -occasion, except in our own Bethany Church. It amounted in cash and -in pledges to over $100.</p> - -<p>Our schools in San Francisco celebrated their eighth public -anniversary on April 29. This, too, was an exceedingly interesting -service, and our Bethany Church was filled. The point of special -interest and encouragement about it was this: That while the -exercises were in all respects equal to those of any previous -year, we were not obliged to call in the aid of any of our -helpers, except as they assisted in the service of song. The -original address in English by Lung Chung was a frank, manly and -effective statement of his own Christian life, with its faults and -shortcomings, as well as its new, strange light and peace.</p> - -<p>I lay before the readers of the <span class="smcap">Missionary</span> the following -paragraph, which I placed in the <cite>Pacific</cite> of May 9. I trust they -will be interested in the statement of facts, and am not without -hope that they will listen kindly to the appeal:</p> - -<p>“The monthly reports for April show seventeen schools in active -operation and thirty-nine teachers and helpers employed. The total -number of pupils enrolled was 991; the average attendance, 415. The -attendance in this city is temporarily diminished on account of -the darkness of the streets; otherwise the enrollment would have -exceeded 1,000, and the average attendance would have approached -500. Of those now in attendance on the schools 172 profess to have -ceased from <a class="pagenum" name="Page_213" id="Page_213">[213]</a>idolatry, and 116 are believed to be true Christians. -Two hundred and thirty-one new names were enrolled, and the total -number who have been connected with our schools during the last -eight months is no less than 2,356. With the beginning of this -month of May, another school is added to our list—the one in -Alameda. It has been sustained for several years with a most -Christ-like devotion by Mrs. E. L. Wilson. Unable to carry it on -any longer alone, she appeals to our mission for aid, and though -the operations already in hand task our resources to their utmost, -we could not let so good a work as Mrs. Wilson had been doing die -for the lack of a helping hand. It will be necessary to raise in -addition to the appropriation made by the American Missionary -Association, $5,500 to carry this work through to August 31, the -close of the present fiscal year. The utmost care is taken to make -each dollar do its best, but it is impossible to sustain so large -a work on less than $1,000 per month. A careful review of the -statistics given above will lead, I am sure, not to criticism of -the amount, but rather to surprise that at so little cost so much -has been accomplished. Of the $5,500 needed, I have on hand, or in -sight, $3,000, and for the balance I make an earnest appeal to our -churches, and to all friends of Christ and of humanity.”</p> -</div> - -<hr class="full" /> - -<div class="article"> -<h2>BUREAU OF WOMAN’S WORK.</h2> - -<hr class="chap" /> - - -<h3>TO THE LADIES OF THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCHES.</h3> - -<p><span class="smcap">Dear Friends</span>: Permit me to call your attention to the -urgent needs of the American Missionary Association in its -department of Woman’s Work.</p> - -<p>Many earnest Christian women are personally engaged as missionaries -at the South, and among the Chinese and the Indians. They give -instruction in home duties, improved housekeeping, family -government, the best use of money; they gather children into -Sunday-schools, teach in day and boarding-schools—bearing with -them always the blessed Gospel truth, the foundation on which we -build.</p> - -<p>We need your aid in the support of these missionaries and -missionary teachers, who will thus become your representatives in -the field. Laboring with a lowly and despised people, they are cut -off in many instances from social privileges, and your Christian -love and remembrance will give strength and good cheer.</p> - -<p>We need scholarships to aid worthy and needy students. Our -boarding-schools are doing a great work for <em>girls</em>, and often a -young girl is saved to a useful life by supplementing her meagre -funds and retaining her in school. We need supplies of clothing for -distribution by missionaries in getting the young into school and -Sabbath-school; also furnishing of bed and table linen for mission -homes and boarding halls. Already our matrons are asking supplies -of this kind.</p> - -<p>We are indebted to the ladies of many of the Congregational -churches for valuable aid rendered, and now that the way is opened -for more direct communication with you, may we not hope that all -will become co-workers with our noble band of missionaries in -seeking to instruct and benefit the women of races so ignorant and -degraded as those with whom we labor?</p> - -<p>We invite special correspondence in regard to the various fields -and the aid that can be given.

E. EMERSON.</p> - -<p>“What is the Mission Home?” The question has often been asked by -friends contributing to our work, as well as by those about to -engage in it, and from the latter we have had some rather striking -descriptions of what they supposed the home to be, and of their -pleasant surprise upon reaching it. It is not a boarding hall for -students, as many have thought. Such halls are in connection with -boarding schools and accommodate both teachers and students.</p> - -<p>The Mission Home, of which we give a specimen in the accompanying -cut, is at stations where we have churches and day schools, and is -the home of the pastor and teachers. In some of the larger cities, -as Wilmington, N.C., Savannah, Ga., Mobile, Ala., we have graded -schools requiring a teaching force of from six to ten persons. Then -there are the pastor and family and the lady missionary, and the -home accommodates all. As each has a special line of duty occupying -the full time, a matron is appointed to take charge of household -affairs and secure by her good management a pleasant and happy -home for the family. Sometimes the wife of the pastor or principal -acts as matron, sometimes the duties of matron and missionary are -combined. It is no insignificant position to have charge of such -a home, and our matrons are as truly missionaries as any in our -field; besides the direct opportunities of usefulness among the -people, they may add to the efficiency of every member of the -family by the cheerful, genial, restful spirit of the home, which -it is largely in their power to maintain.</p> - -<p>This plan of Mission Homes has its advantages to the work. It gives -opportunity to teach by example varied lessons in home life, of -neatness, economy and thrift. The family altar is set up, and often -some members of school or church join in the morning or evening -song of praise. Social parlor-gatherings are had, when the people -are cordially invited and are engaged in pleasant conversation and -games, which, while interesting them, tend to their improvement. -Here are often held the mothers meetings and the sewing class, and -daily the people come singly or by twos or threes for special help -and advice, knowing that they are welcome, and that they will find -in some members of the family the wise counsellor and friend.</p> - -<p>We can scarcely overestimate the educative influence of these -Mission Homes upon the people. Even where there are but few workers -employed, we cannot wisely dispense with them. Within a year we -have built a small house in a country district where two ladies are -employed as missionary teachers. It is plain, two stories, contains -five rooms, is simply furnished, and cost about $900. There the -ladies keep house, and they testify, as also do other missionaries -from the city station near, that this little “Home” has already -done more for the people as an “object lesson” in home life than -all previous effort in that direction.</p> - -<p>In other articles in this department, our friends will learn how -they may share with us in this method of usefulness.</p> -</div> - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<div class="article"> -<h3>LETTER FROM MRS. CHASE, ATLANTA.</h3> - -<p>Mrs. Nelson has just called with her friend from the North, Mrs. -Barker, who looked over school and domestic work very carefully, -and then began plying me with questions, when Miss Stevenson, -our missionary, dropped in. Mrs. Barker’s face lighted up as she -exclaimed, “Now I have you both together, the teacher and the -missionary, I want to know where you think a little money will do -the most good?” Mrs. Nelson said: “Each one loves her own work too -well to be a competent <span><a class="pagenum" name="Page_215" id="Page_215">[215]</a></span>judge.” Miss Stevenson, you know, is one -of our veterans, been in the field ever since the war.

Their hearts, like that of every true mother, -yearn over these girls in their great peril, and these boys, -driven from their wretched homes to the street for recreation. If -missionary work, unlike the school, were without organization, -systematic routine, or superintendence, it could not recommend -itself to the cautious.

He had no thought in his -heart about Jesus or the heathen. Was his penny not as light as -<em>tin</em>?</p> - -<p>Another boy put in a penny and looked around to see if anybody was -praising him. His was the <em>brass</em> penny; not the gift of a lowly -heart, but of a proud spirit.</p> - -<p>A third boy gave a penny, saying to himself, “I suppose I must, -because all others do.”</p> - -<p>That was an <em>iron</em> penny. It was the gift of a cold, selfish heart.</p> - -<p>As a fourth boy dropped his penny into the box he shed a tear, and -his heart said, “Poor heathens! I’m sorry they are so poor, so -ignorant and so miserable.”</p> - -<p>That was a <em>silver</em> penny, the gift of a heart full of pity.</p> - -<p>But there was one scholar who gave his, saying, “For Thy sake, -Lord Jesus! <a class="pagenum" name="Page_218" id="Page_218">[218]</a>Oh, that the heathen may hear of Thee, the Saviour of -mankind!”</p> - -<p>That was a <em>golden</em> penny, because it was the gift of faith and -love.</p> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h4>THE PENNY BOX.</h4> - -<p>They were giving away Missionary boxes at a Juvenile Missionary -meeting to the boys and girls who thought they could collect a -little money for sending the Gospel to the heathen. Among those -who asked for a box was a poor child, so poor that the chairman -hesitated at first to give her a box; on consideration, however, he -let her have one.</p> - -<p>About a fortnight afterward, this little girl called upon him in -great trouble. He said to her, “Why, Sarah, what are you crying -for? Cannot you get any money to put into your box?”</p> - -<p>“No, sir, it is not that,” sobbed Sarah, “it is so full I don’t -know how I shall get any more in, the last penny was so hard to get -in I had to take a hammer to hammer it!”</p> - -<p>The gentleman said, “Well, Sarah, I think we can easily get over -that difficulty—here is another box for you.”</p> - -<p>But this was not all; when Sarah first applied for a box, she did -so just because her feelings of compassion had been awakened for -the poor heathen children; but while she was busily engaged in -collecting, the thought came into her mind, “What am I collecting -this money for? That the poor <em>heathen</em> children may be taught -about Jesus, but what do <em>I know about Him myself</em>?”</p> - -<p>Sarah then began to pray, and begged God the Holy Spirit to teach -her about Jesus, and that was the commencement of a new life to the -dear child.</p> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h4>WHAT A PENNY CAN DO.</h4> - -<p>Willie’s penny made heaven rejoice. It would not have bought more -than a stick or two of candy or given much help to a starving -family. What did he do with it? His sister was a missionary’s wife -in Africa, and the family were filling a box to send her. As one -after another brought their gifts Willie said, “I want to give my -penny.”</p> - -<p>“What shall be bought with it?” was the next question. It was -decided to buy a tract and write its history on the margin, and -with a prayer for its success send it on its distant errand.</p> - -<p>The box arrived on the mission ground, and among its valuable -contents Willie’s gift was laid away unnoticed and for a while -forgotten. But God’s watchful, all-seeing eye had not forgotten it. -One day a native teacher was starting from the mission station to -go to a school over the mountain. He knew the language well and was -a great help to the missionaries, but he was not a Christian. He -had resisted everything the missionaries had done to make him one.</p> - -<p>In looking over some papers, Willie’s tract was discovered, -with writing on the margin, which said that prayer was offered -in America that it might do good. It was handed to the native -teacher. He read it on his journey, and what years of labor by the -missionaries had not done was now brought about by the penny tract. -The man became a sincere Christian. Those who put the tract in his -hand were overcome with joy, and there is joy in heaven over one -sinner that repents.</p> - -<p>So you see how Willie’s penny made heaven rejoice.</p> -</div> - -<hr class="full" /> - -<div class="article"> -<h2>RECEIPTS FOR MAY, 1883.</h2> - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<table class="receipts"> -<tr><td class="statehead" colspan="2">MAINE, $141.46.</td></tr> - -<tr> -<td class="sub1">Alfred.

Many small donations -($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt -status with the IRS. - -The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating -charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United -States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a -considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up -with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations -where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND -DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular -state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate - -While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we -have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition -against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who -approach us with offers to donate. - -International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make -any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from -outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. - -Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation -methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other -ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To -donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate - -Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. - -Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project -Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be -freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and -distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of -volunteer support. - -Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed -editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in -the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not -necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper -edition. - -Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search -facility: www.gutenberg.org - -This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, -including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary -Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to -subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. - - - -</pre> - -</body> -</html> diff --git a/old/61015-h/images/children.jpg b/old/61015-h/images/children.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 7b884eb..0000000 --- a/old/61015-h/images/children.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/61015-h/images/cover.jpg b/old/61015-h/images/cover.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index af75d3f..0000000 --- a/old/61015-h/images/cover.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/61015-h/images/dictionary.jpg b/old/61015-h/images/dictionary.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index a8ebd9f..0000000 --- a/old/61015-h/images/dictionary.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/61015-h/images/encampment.jpg b/old/61015-h/images/encampment.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index f5e82c4..0000000 --- a/old/61015-h/images/encampment.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/61015-h/images/estey.jpg b/old/61015-h/images/estey.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 81ad110..0000000 --- a/old/61015-h/images/estey.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/61015-h/images/header.jpg b/old/61015-h/images/header.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 981df99..0000000 --- a/old/61015-h/images/header.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/61015-h/images/lamblogo.jpg b/old/61015-h/images/lamblogo.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 72f30cc..0000000 --- a/old/61015-h/images/lamblogo.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/61015-h/images/missionhome.jpg b/old/61015-h/images/missionhome.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 9b3fe1c..0000000 --- a/old/61015-h/images/missionhome.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/61015-h/images/pearlteeth.jpg b/old/61015-h/images/pearlteeth.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 771bee6..0000000 --- a/old/61015-h/images/pearlteeth.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/61015-h/images/risingsun.jpg b/old/61015-h/images/risingsun.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 8a8b9bc..0000000 --- a/old/61015-h/images/risingsun.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/61015-h/images/rumsford.jpg b/old/61015-h/images/rumsford.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 19a8017..0000000 --- a/old/61015-h/images/rumsford.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/61015-h/images/smith.jpg b/old/61015-h/images/smith.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index f01f950..0000000 --- a/old/61015-h/images/smith.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/61015-h/images/stars.jpg b/old/61015-h/images/stars.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index d64bc92..0000000 --- a/old/61015-h/images/stars.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/61015-h/images/violin.jpg b/old/61015-h/images/violin.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index c5f8cdf..0000000 --- a/old/61015-h/images/violin.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/61015-h/images/watch.jpg b/old/61015-h/images/watch.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 82dbf04..0000000 --- a/old/61015-h/images/watch.jpg +++ /dev/null |
