As the climate South -is enervating to those who have been raised at the North, it -is essential that our missionaries working in that portion of -the country return every year or two to their former homes and -associations for recuperation and courage for future work. Many -of them need also contact with Northern society to refresh their -hearts and minds, and to gain a stimulus not imparted by the circle -of acquaintances found on the Southern field. These visits North -afford opportunities for our workers to make known the wants of -the people with whom they labor, and to show the deep interest -they take in their welfare, and the sacrifices they are willing -to make in their behalf. The return of a missionary to the church -from which he or she went forth, often gives a spiritual uplift to -the whole congregation. We are happy to recognize the willingness -manifested by pastors, by Sabbath-schools and by local missionary -societies, to afford these returned missionaries the privilege -of explaining the needs of their work and of enlisting a deeper -sympathy for it. We wish, however, to make it known that these -missionaries greatly appreciate kindly attention. Many of them have -felt the want of it on the Southern field, and sometimes on their -return after protracted absence receive it with glad surprise. -We are sure that if those with whom they meet will be forward to -express their pleasure in seeing them and their interest in their -sacrifices and success, they will find that the little effort -put forth to give cheer will go a long ways in strengthening the -heart, and adding to the ability of the missionary to do more -valiantly the work of Christian patriotism in which he is engaged. -Invitations to literary and social circles, as well as to more -strictly religious meetings, will almost always be grateful to -the tired worker, and we are very sure that the information, the -unconscious influence, imparted by the missionary, as well as the -satisfaction in having done a good and kindly service, will amply -repay for any effort Christian friends may make to render the -missionary’s vacation agreeable and profitable. - - * * * * * - - -CONGREGATIONALISM SOUTH. - -RY REV. J. E. ROY, D.D. - -When the American Missionary Association went “down toward the -South,” Congregationalism was hated by the ruling class, as coming -from the hot-bed of New Englandism, and was absolutely unknown -among the people to whom the Northern evangelism then had access, -and even on their part, as a system, it had yet to encounter the -densest opposition which ignorance, superstition and sectarianism -could combine. And when, like John the Baptist, it laid the ax at -the root of the tree, demanding morality as well as pietism, it -confronted the momentum of generations of pagan vice confirmed -by the indurations of the system of slavery. In order to get any -foothold on this basis, it has to begin with the spelling-book, as -the key to the incarcerated Bible. But the hunger for letters, for -ideas, forced a way into the word of God. Schools followed the army -across the Southland. Revivals, like the Northern clover, sprang up -in the same track. Every teacher, by his or her vow, entered into -with the A. M. A., became a missionary. - -Talk about women’s work for women. Here, for a score of years, have -been from 150 to 200 gifted consecrated women, of whom the world -was not worthy, sacrificing youth and beauty, going for a time into -places where men could not stand, with their names cast out as -vile, yet lifting up their lowly sisters and starting scores and -scores of young men on into a religious life and into the ministry -of the Lord Jesus. As converts multiplied, many of them took to the -old churches, and not a few desired to have the way which their -dear teachers represented. And so, gradually there came on these -churches, each one a miniature republic, and each, in almost every -case, an outcome of the school process. - -In that early time, not a few of the best tried friends of the -Association grew uneasy at the slow progress of the church work, -only in late years to admire the wisdom of the administration in -not picking the pear before it was ripe. The M. E. church going -South had only to open its doors to receive 200,000 of the old-time -Methodists, with their clinging immoralities and their corrupting -ministers. Grandly has that patriotic church wrestled with its -problem. But ours has been a call to a different task. - -In five years after the close of the war, besides the three -John G. Fee churches in Kentucky, which had flung themselves -upon the serried ranks of the slaveholders, compelling a vast -region to behold what sort of stuff this Puritanism was made -of, the Association numbered _eleven_ churches among the sable -brethren, whose teachers and preachers usually joined with them -in fellowship. In ten years these had come to number _forty_. And -now, eighteen years after the war, the total is _eighty-nine_, an -average of five for each year. Nor are these merely nominal or -skeleton churches. Their average membership is _sixty-five_, while -that of all our churches west of the Mississippi is _thirty-five_. -Nearly every one has its own place of worship and its own pastor. -Their own ministers have had to be grown, converted and trained -up from the alphabet, while multitudes have been prepared in our -schools for service in the old-time churches, the small number -that we have taken (a half hundred, besides several foreign -missionaries) serving only as the toll for grinding the grists. A -high wisdom was that which was displayed by the early workers in -seizing upon the strategic points, so that one can now hardly go to -a principal city of the South without finding there a fully-working -Congregational church, such as those at Washington, Hampton, -Charleston, Raleigh, Savannah, Macon, Atlanta, Mobile, Montgomery, -Birmingham, Meridian, Jackson, New Orleans, Austin, Little Rock, -Memphis, Nashville, Chattanooga, Knoxville, and Louisville. So it -seems that this work has gone on in every State of the South, for -in Florida, which might seem an exception, the noted church at -Jacksonville was organized by one of the actuaries of the A. M. A., -and nourished by another. Nor have these churches been left to the -weakness of an isolated independence. For the better training of -them, and for the consolidating of their strength, they have been -organized into regular State associations, which have sought to -introduce the methods of the North, which in their varied services -often come to an intellectual and spiritual glow that astonishes -us, and which come to a consciousness of their national fellowship -when they each elect their delegates to the annual meeting of the -A. M. A., and to the National Council, one of their own members -having served at the last triennial as an assistant moderator. -These State bodies now number _eight_, which nearly cover the -whole South. So, then, the physical geography of the land is quite -well mapped out, Congregationally. There remains much space for -filling. - -No view of the Congregationalism taken into the South by the A. M. -A. will be complete without considering the pervasive influence -of all of these churches and institutions of learning, that have -come to be a power universally recognized. Almost every member -going forth from them is, in some sense, a representative of the -Congregational idea, though he does not himself take the name. -In all the South, among the whites as well as the blacks, these -principles have been made known, so that the way, in great part, is -prepared for carrying on there a spiritual propagandism that shall -yet recognize the essential feature of this past dispensation, -which, at the North, has been up-borne by sympathy and prayer, the -consecration of substance and the offering of sons and daughters, -and which, at the South, has bravely stood, this score of years, -for this sublime act and testimony, in sacrifice enduring hardness, -ostracism and scorn, viz., the features of the brotherhood of -man in Christ Jesus, the real unity of all Christian believers, -irrespective of race, color, or social condition. - - THE CONGREGATIONALIST. - - * * * * * - - -GENERAL NOTES. - - -AFRICA. - -—The French government will shortly submit to the Chamber a project -for the construction of a railroad from Soukarras to Tebessa. - -—Dr. Schweinfurth will soon come to Halle to confer with Dr. -Riebeck upon the results of their exploration of Sokotora. - -—The English missionaries sent to reinforce the station of Roubaga -have all been detained by the fever at Msalala to the south of -Victoria Nyanza. - -—P. Livinhac, who for five years has directed the station of -Roubaga, has been appointed apostolic vicar of Victoria Nyanza. - -—According to a communication from Rohlfs to the Geographical -Society of Berlin, Dr. Stecker has vainly attempted to traverse the -Gallas country and will return to Europe. - -—Mr. Herisson has reported from his new archæological exploration -in Tunis, two grand mosaics from Carthage, the most beautiful that -have as yet been found in Africa. - -—Hicks Pasha has defeated over 5,000 Arabs in the Soudan, killing -500. The Arabs fight bravely, but their spears are useless against -shells and cannon. The Egyptian loss was two killed. - -—Captain Casati has traversed the country of the Niams-Niams, -following several routes not frequented as yet by European -travelers. He has encountered great dangers, was detained a -prisoner for two months in the house of Prince Azanga, and only -rescued himself from his captivity by flight. - -—The Wesleyan missions on the West Coast of Africa in Sierra Leone, -Gold Coast, Yomba, Popo and Gambia have contributed about $150,000 -in the last ten years. The number in church fellowship is 15,044; -in attendance on public worship, 53,474. - - * * * * * - - -THE INDIANS. - -—The Indian School at Carlisle has 137 acres of wheat, from which -about 600 barrels of flour will be made for the use of the boarding -department. - -—There are Indian girls in the Indian Territory University who -are studying German, French, Latin, and Greek, geology, moral -philosophy, political economy and other branches of the College -course. - -—The Indian Mission of the Methodists in the Indian Territory is -organized into a conference with four presiding elder’s districts -and twenty-nine pastoral charges. There are 112 local preachers, -1,100 white members, 30 colored members, 5,107 Indian members, 58 -Sunday Schools with 1,602 scholars. - -—The Presbyterians have arranged to establish next September a -boarding school among the Creek Indians where they have never been -reached by Christian influences. - -—The capacity of Indian children for learning English is shown by -the fact that at Carlisle quite a number who came in August without -knowing the language were able to converse in it the next May. - -—It is said that the Indians of Alaska do not belong to the same -race as the North American Indians, but they are probably an -offshoot from Japanese Coreans. The missionaries who have been -laboring among them say that in many respects their conceptions of -moral law are better than those of civilized nations. - - * * * * * - - -THE CHINESE. - -—There are Chinese Baptist churches in Guiana, South America. - -—The English Presbyterian Synod Missionary Society, having its -field of labor principally in China, reported for last year an -income of $425,000. - -—The Trinity Baptist Church of New York has twelve Chinamen among -its members. At the baptism of J. Sing recently, some twenty other -Chinamen were present. One of these converts, Kun Sing, is about to -go as a missionary to his countrymen in Canton, China. - -—A number of Japanese have prepared a formal paper, asking that in -the work of translating the Old Testament the Japanese Christians -may be represented by a committee of their own countrymen, selected -by themselves. - -—The Stockton (Cal.) _Herald_ gives the following account of a -Chinese bride: The other afternoon a strange procession of hacks, -with gay colors flying, with a scent of burning spices about them, -drew up at the shed of the California Steam Navigation Company, -where the steamer Mary Garratt was loading. In the first hack was -a lone female, with her head in a bundle of bright-colored Chinese -silk, which concealed every feature. Behind was another hack, in -which several Chinese boys rode, each carrying a burning taper. -Then came two more hacks, each filled with Chinese women. All -alighted at the wharf, and the hooded woman was assisted out and -led on board the steamer, her course being conducted by the boys -with the lighted tapers and the women. The woman was so closely -veiled as to be practically blindfolded. Then it was ascertained -that she was a daughter of “Sonora George,” and was going to -Bedouin Island to be married. - - * * * * * - - -BENEFACTIONS. - -Mr. Deering has given $50,000 to the Northwestern University of the -Methodists at Evanston, Illinois. - -Mr. John C. Phillips has given $25,000 for the further endowment of -Phillips Exeter Academy. - -Wm. H. Vanderbilt has added $100,000 to the endowment fund of -Vanderbilt University. - -Lafayette College has received from Mr. T. W. McWilliams of New -York a contribution of $10,000 toward the endowment of the March -Chair of Philology. - -Mr. J. H. Cassedy of Thiells, N.Y., has given $5,000 to Talladega -College for a model school building, to bear his name. - -Miss Susie Bartlett of Oshkosh, Wis. has given $500 to Beloit -College for the purchase of scientific books. - -By the will of Amasa Stone, Adelbert College is to receive $100,000 -in addition to the half million given during his lifetime. - -The Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute of Troy, N.Y. has received -from Mrs. Wm.

Bowditch, late of Boston, a bequest of -$5,000 is made to the industrial school for girls, at Dorchester, -to be added to the permanent fund, the income to be applied to -paying the expenses of the school. - -_Endowments for the Christian education of the coming generations -are the best bulwarks of our free institutions._ - - * * * * * - - - - -THE SOUTH. - -REV. JOSEPH E. ROY, D.D., FIELD SUPERINTENDENT. - -PROF. ALBERT SALISBURY, SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATION. - - * * * * * - - -ANNIVERSARY REPORTS. - - * * * * * - - -BEREA COLLEGE. - -Prof. W. E. C. Wright. - -The seventeenth year of Berea College closed on June 30th with -most satisfactory marks of the sustained usefulness and increasing -importance of the school. - -The Commencement festival really began with the joint exhibition -of the Ladies’ Literary and Phi Delta Societies on Friday evening, -before a large audience, in the chapel. The pupils of the lower -schools gave their interesting exhibitions in the same place on -Saturday evening. President Fairchild’s baccalaureate discourse on -Sunday morning was a vigorous and comprehensive rehearsal of the -religious and moral ideas of consecration to God and love toward -all men, which this college has ever sought to impress on its -students; his text, Phil. iv., 9, “Those things, which ye have both -learned and received and heard and seen in me, do.” No Christian -man could have heard it without feeling how supremely important -for the educational regeneration of the South is such a spirit of -religious earnestness. - -On Tuesday evening the Literary Societies were addressed on the -subject of “Progress,” by Col. Swope, who is the Internal Revenue -Collector for this district, and a native of Kentucky. - -On Wednesday came the final exercises, which gathered a great -multitude from mountain and from plain. The season has been very -rainy, but this was the most perfect of June days—its unclouded -sun tempered by a cool breeze from the south. Soon after sunrise -vehicles of every description, and saddle-horses carrying one, two -or three passengers, began to pour in toward the Tabernacle, most -visitors bringing luncheon for a noon-time picnic in the oak grove. - -Besides the three graduates—one from the classical, and two from -the scientific course—fourteen other students from the higher -classes presented orations or essays. All were listened to by the -great audience with interest, and some with enthusiasm. In the -afternoon nearly as many gathered again to hear a most suggestive -and interesting address from Rev. R. T. Hall, of Mount Vernon, -Ohio, on “The Abuse of Liberty.” Short addresses followed from Rev. -Mr. Simmons of the (colored Baptist) Bible Institute of Louisville, -and Rev. Mr. Barnett, a Methodist minister from College Hill. - -It suggests the interest of our neighbors in the work of Berea -that the Kentucky _Register_, published at the county seat and -a representative paper of the Kentucky aristocracy, gave nearly -a column the next day to a strongly commendatory notice of the -exercises. A gentleman of a well-known old Kentucky family -passing this way toward the mountains turned aside to see what -the Commencement was like, and spent the day in such unexpected -approval of what he saw and heard that he declared at night that he -might be set down hereafter as for Berea every time. This is the -more noticeable as the appearance of blacks and whites in about -equal numbers and with entirely equal respect on the same platform -must at first have given a great shock to his Southern prejudices. - -A Northern visitor, remarking on the perfect pronunciation of the -speakers, said, “A blind man could not tell to which race the -several speakers belong.” The “color blindness” which still keeps -the students of Berea about equally divided between the two races -is one of the most important elements in its work for reducing the -illiteracy of Kentucky (28 per cent. of the voters and almost as -much of it white as black), and settling the problems the nation -has inherited from slavery. - - * * * * * - - -ATLANTA UNIVERSITY. - -PROF. THOS. N. CHASE. - -Our annual examinations are made interesting and exciting by the -presence of visitors appointed by the Governor, who this year, -as usual, attended the three days of examination and one day of -literary exercises. - -The grades were examined in South Hall and the normal preparatory -and college classes in the new Stone Hall. Some of the visitors -evidently thought the interior of Stone Hall most too fine for -poor students, and so we often felt moved to call attention to the -simplicity of its construction, and the fact that good Boston desks -do not cost much more than the very cheapest kind. - -On each day quite a large number of spectators was present. - -While numerous complimentary remarks were made we do not think -that some features of the school were fully appreciated. Latin, -Greek, higher mathematics and metaphysics still possess a charm for -scholars, both South and North, while modern methods in the lower -grades attract the attention and win the admiration of only an -appreciative few. - -The specimens of map drawing and of original designs in industrial -drawing were considered good by competent judges. - -For several years a large part of the public have had object -lessons from nature and in form of a daily exercise, with especial -reference to teaching them to make simple and exact statements in -clear and correct language; and in their examinations they were -said to show marked ability in making nice distinctions and using -good English. - -The experiment of the senior normal girls in cottage housekeeping -under the direction of one of the teachers meets with universal -favor. Everybody in these United States thinks every girl ought to -know how to keep house well, and the best way to learn how to do a -thing is to do it. The outcome of the work in this department is -highly satisfactory, and we wish we had a larger cottage for next -year. - -The silk culture has been worth the while for the sake of the -entertainment and instruction it has afforded, even if no pecuniary -benefit came from it. The worms “wound up” their business, at about -the same time the rest of us did ours, and everybody said “Well -done.” - -The competitive gardens formed another feature in our work. These -were a rod square and thirty-six in number. Beets, beans, peas, -potatoes and onions were the crops. The potatoes were dug on the -last day of examination, and it was found that our native African -had gained the first prize, having 82½ pounds on his square rod. -How about slavery’s developing the African race? - -As the visitors inspected the new barn, the twelve full kits of -carpenters’ tools donated by a friend in New York City, though -still unused, were not concealed from view. Funds for a shop have -now been pledged, and a teacher of carpentering is to be employed, -even if some other department is suspended, and the boys are to be -taught the use of tools, in obedience to the prevailing sentiment -of what ought to be, and in the hope that such instruction will -help the colored man to hold his present position in the mechanical -field. - -[Illustration: ATLANTA UNIVERSITY BUILDINGS.] - -On Commencement day “everything passed off well,” and a clergyman -from Boston was heard to say, “Good thoughts well expressed.” -Sixteen young men and women received diplomas or certificates, and -listened to parting words from the president. - -Governor McDaniel honored us with his presence, and sent a verbal -message to the graduates, saying that he had been much pleased with -their exercises and felt a warm interest in them. - -At the alumni meeting an excellent paper was read by an alumnus -upon the subject of industrial education, and several speeches were -made, showing intellectual growth and telling of good work done. - -Within ten days from Commencement, as many as three-fourths of -our students will be scattered all over the State, and in many -places in neighboring States, metamorphosed into dignified and -wise pedagogues. May they all meet with great success in their -day-school, Sunday-school and temperance work, and in their efforts -to stimulate the people to acquire property and make for themselves -pleasant and pure homes. - -We were glad to have with us Prest. De Forest and Prof. Ellis, of -Talladega College, the former of whom preached the baccalaureate -sermon, that abounded in gems of deep and practical thought, -incased in clear and transparent language. - -At the meeting of the Board of Trustees, Sec’y Strieby was -re-elected, and one of Atlanta’s most prominent men in business, -social and religious circles, who had recently declined the office -of Mayor, consented to become a member of the Board. Resolutions -were passed, thanking Messrs. King, Cassedy and Sessions, and the -representatives of the late Hon. W. E. Dodge, for gifts to the -school. - -Crowded halls, continued success in old lines of work, and -encouragement in new, added buildings, generous gifts, growing -favor among the people, good reports from graduates and the -constant presence of the Divine Spirit lead us to thank God and -take courage, believing that the school is accomplishing its -mission in the main, and that the financial clouds that lower will -be dispelled in due time, as others have been in the history of the -institution. - - * * * * * - - -LEWIS HIGH SCHOOL, MACON, GA. - -A missionary villa, picturesque and interesting, is comprised of -the Lewis High School, Church, Library Building and Teachers’ Home, -occupying the summit of a beautiful street in Upper-Central Macon. -The Anniversary exercises were inaugurated on Sunday evening, May -27, with a lecture by Hon. Walter B. Hill, a lawyer of Macon, -who, in urgent language worthy of his profession, argued that -ignorance is the cause of the faults of those partially educated. -His subject, therefore, named the remedy, Christian education. -In closing, the speaker said he had searched for and chosen the -best poem for the conclusion of his address, the author of which -was the worthy pastor of the church, Rev. Stanley E. Lathrop—“The -Rain-Drop’s Lesson”—ending with the lines: - - “Never tempted - Work to stop - Though my cup hold - But a drop. - Rising Heavenward, - Pure to grow, - Coming earthward, - Joy to sow!” - -Rev. J. W. Burke, a prominent Southern Methodist clergyman, of -Macon, in earnest and well-chosen words, corroborated Mr. Hill’s -arguments. - -The examinations began on Tuesday, culminating in an exhibition on -Thursday. Prof. W. A. Hodge, principal, examined the classes, with -four lady helpers, who would take high stand in our best Northern -schools, in their several departments. There have been 298 pupils -enrolled, an increase of fifty per cent. As we listened to the -highly creditable results we learned better how to teach, and were -filled with equal regard for the field which is “white already,” -and for those laborers whom the Lord of the vineyard, through the -A. M. A., has sent forth into His harvest. - -The work of adding to knowledge, understanding, requires patient -toil here, yet we learned from the assistant principal, Miss -Lindsley, who has taught in four States, that she has never before -accorded the highest mark (100) to two scholars, in any one -school, for deportment and scholarship. Miss Sprague, teacher of -the Intermediate Department, has shown good results in the common -English branches and declamation, and has a bright, stimulating way -of interesting her pupils. Miss Pingree has won in a few months the -love of the primary class so heartily, that two of them meeting -a visitor, a stranger in this city, anxiously inquired, “Do you -think Miss Pingree will come back?” Her success as a missionary -has led her to feel called to that work; and could such a need -here be filled, the A. M. A. have one who is already beloved among -this people in such capacity whose labors have been voluntarily -given outside of school hours. All the teachers seek to know their -pupils in their homes, taking long walks “without the camp.” We -wish that a missionary horse and carriage could be an auxiliary! -Miss Woodworth has developed the music to an astonishing degree. -They have performed a cantata, sing accurately in difficult parts, -and the primary class reminded us of a full band of music! These -teachers are much beloved, and the young women of the school gave -them a surprise party at the Home, furnishing ice cream and cake. -This was a voluntary certificate of esteem. - -The Exhibition Day filled the church with an audience of 400. -We noticed in the dialogues an apparent enjoyment, evincing the -imitative faculty and love for diversion. In these they seemed -to feel at home. The exercises were listened to with unbroken -attention throughout. The last feature of the occasion was the -presentation of a Wheeler & Wilson sewing machine, costing $65 -(through the Macon agent, Judge M. R. Freeman), awarded by the -company to the girl who produced the best work; five machines -having been furnished during the winter for practice. Mrs. D. W. -Job, daughter of the late Rev. Nehemiah Adams, D.D., of Boston, in -the name of Mrs. Lathrop and Mrs. Hodge whom she called the “Woman -in Proverbs,” and “Dorcas”—told the story of the sewing school and -awarded the machine. - -For three years Mrs. Lathrop, the worthy “minister’s wife,” has met -nearly every week with girls to teach them to sew. They have made -about 500 garments, and one of their patch-work quilts has been -given to the oldest scholar, _aged_ 93! Ten competed for the prize. -Mrs. Prof. Hodge, matron of the Teachers’ Home, has assisted this -winter in this benevolent and important work. - -Prof. Hodge, with some earnest words of fitting counsel, presented -certificates of graduation to the senior class of three boys and -four girls. - -After a beautiful chorus, all were invited to adjourn to the -dedication of a gem of a building, which we will call “The -Emerald,” in chaste tints of green and olive, set in the rear of -the grounds on the brow of the hill. This might be appropriately -termed “The Lathrop Library,” for the pastor in the last two years -has collected the books and the money which now constitute a public -library for the colored people and their friends. - -The building cost $350, and contains about 3,600 volumes, and -is furnished with book-cases, chairs, table and a cabinet. What -publishers or friends will now supply magazines and papers, -imparting religious instruction and profitable information? The -lower story, it is hoped, will be converted into a workshop, where -trades may be taught. Money will be needed for this. - -The evening was devoted to a concert, conducted by Miss Woodworth. -We recognized one of the best and most difficult Harvard songs, nor -could the Glee Club sing it with better expression. - -In social, educational, moral and religious growth, this year’s -work of the A. M. A. in Macon cannot be estimated. God bless the -North! God bless the South! God bless the colored people of Macon, -and cause His face to shine upon them all. - - BOSTON, Mass. D. W. J. - - * * * * * - - -AVERY NORMAL INSTITUTE, CHARLESTON, S.C. - -PROF. A. W. FARNHAM. - -Our Commencement exercises began with the sermon, Sunday, June -24, which was preached by Rev. Prof. A. G. Townsend, of Claflin -University. The following, with reference to the sermon, is from -the _News and Courier_: - -“The sermon to the graduating class at Avery Institute was -delivered last evening at 6 o’clock to a full audience by the Rev. -Professor A. G. Townsend, of Claflin University, who is also an -alumnus of Avery. After a brief salutation to old and new friends, -which was conceived in good taste and just feeling, the preacher -announced his text, Prov. iv., 13: ‘Take fast hold of instruction; -let her not go; keep her, for she is thy life.’ The discourse was -straightforward and of substantial interest.” - -Monday, June 25, was “Children’s Day.” This day, organized by the -present Principal seven years ago, has become almost as popular as -“Graduation Day.” The leading features this year were selections -from the Kitchen-Garden exercises, as taught by Miss Huntington -of New York, and the exhibit of two quilts, a rug, and a quantity -of holders, which were made by the children. In these exercises -and the use of the needle, the boys have engaged as heartily and -successfully as the girls. This industrial showing was enlivened -with singing, several recitations, a dialogue, and two class -readings. “Children’s Day” is given to the primary and intermediate -classes. To these classes have been devoted two hours a week for -industrial work. - -The grammar school exhibition occurred June 26. The 1st years gave -Miss Andrews’ geographical play of the “United States,” and a -dialogue, in a manner that reflected credit upon their teacher, who -had prepared them. The 2d years gave two class readings (a scene -from “William Tell” and “The Charcoal Man”); and the 3rd years -gave the comic opera of “King Alfred.” The industrial work of this -department has been confined to inventive and perspective drawing. -In inventive drawing the pupils made their designs with sticks, -first of equal then of unequal lengths, and when these designs were -accepted by the teacher they were drawn first on slates, then in -drawing books. - -On Graduation Day, June 29, six young men and the same number of -young women read essays. Their subjects were: “Our Common School -Law,” “After Graduation, What?” “Chemistry of Common Things,” “The -Relation of Geography to Other Sciences,” “The Action of Alcohol on -the Body and Mind,” “Water,” “Why Do You Use Tobacco?” “Industrial -Education,” “Should Cooks be Educated?” “Physical Culture,” “Heat,” -and “Some Evidences of Christianity.” This class chose for its -motto, “Nothing great is lightly won.” The young men all intend to -go to college. - -The results of the industrial work in the normal department were -a surprise to all on account of the quantity, variety and beauty -of the work displayed. It consisted of colored designs for dadoes, -borders and embroidery; useful and ornamental articles of scroll -sawing; leaves, animals, vases, a bust and other articles modeled -in artists’ clay; samples of printing, including the commencement -programmes, and a fine display of crochet and art needlework. An -average of an hour a week was given to the industrial work in the -normal department. - -The music, both vocal and instrumental, on each occasion, was good. -Special mention should be made of “Inflammatus,” from “Stabat -Mater,” which was well given and well received. Bible recitations -by classes took the place of Bible readings in the devotional -exercises of each day. On graduation day the graduating class -recited the 12th chapter of Ecclesiastes. - -On July 4th the Avery Alumni Association meets, has literary -exercises, a business meeting, and gives a $50 cash prize to -that member of the class of ’83 who has the best record; its -members exchange greeting, vow new devotion to their _Alma Mater_, -pronounce a benediction upon her, and then go their ways for -another year of honest work in behalf of less favored humanity. - -Referring to our visitors the _New Era_ has the following: - -“During the exercises of the week, a number of prominent white -citizens were in attendance and evinced genuine interest in the -proceedings. It is very gratifying to see this attention on the -part of the white element. It betokens a hopeful outlook. And why -should there not be the pleasantest relations between all good -citizens? We are all destined to dwell together. The quicker, under -reasonable progress, that the past is forgotten, the better for -all. We are sincerely glad that Prof. Farnham gives cordial welcome -to all who are interested in the work in which he so intelligently -and sincerely engages his intellectual and moral forces.” - - * * * * * - - -BEACH INSTITUTE. - -MISS IDA M. BEACH. - -For weeks we had looked forward to these last hours! And now all is -over! - -Four days of written examinations were very tiresome, but I wish -my readers could have seen the earnest workers. Oral examinations -occurred on Friday, May 25. A pleasant hour could be spent in the -Primary Department. Here are little folks reading now so smoothly -in First Reader, who eight months ago knew nothing of A B C work. - -Words never seen before are placed on the board with diacritical -marks. The little hands come up, and the correct pronunciation is -given. In another room pupils are engaged in writing a spelling -lesson. Examined slates prove that attention has been given to -careful instruction. - -Hurrying on, we find older pupils reciting in arithmetic and -geography; others, more advanced, in algebra and literature. The -same earnest spirit fills each room, and all seem striving to do -their best. - -On Sunday evening, in the Congregational Church, Rev. Dana Sherrill -preached a sermon to the members of the graduating class, taking -for his text Phil. iii., 13, 14. Gathering up the lessons learned, -but forgetting past attainments, they should be ever striving for -something better beyond. The kind, practical counsel found, at -least, attentive listeners. Said one graduate: “That was our New -Year’s motto. I shall never forget it now.” - -A new feature of our anniversary exercises was a juvenile concert. -On Monday night a goodly company gathered in our chapel. One -hundred and forty children greeted them with a song. The choruses -were rendered with enthusiasm. Of particular interest were the -solos and action songs by the little Primaries. A solo, “I’se -gwine to Alabama,” given by one of the older boys, was thoroughly -enjoyed. The net sum of $32.00 was raised for the increase of our -library fund. - -It was interesting to watch the delighted parents during the -sociability of the “breaking up.” - -Wednesday came, with clouds in the morning, and at the hour -appointed for the public exercises, rain falling in torrents. Yet -nearly every child was in place, and extra chairs were brought for -the gathered spectators. The exercises consisted of recitations, -dialogues and songs. As the children performed the parts assigned -each, I did not wonder that both teachers and mothers “felt proud.” -An invitation to examine work done by members of the sewing class -was generally accepted, giving the happy parents fresh cause for -pride. - -We decided to hold our graduating exercises on Wednesday evening. -At an early hour every seat was taken, while numbers were standing -in the aisles and halls. Girls in pretty white dresses and boys -in fresh spring suits, march in and take seats reserved. A sweet -song by the girls opened the exercises. Prayer was offered and -the Lord’s Prayer chanted. Reading, declamations and recitations -followed. Conversation between several girls concerning their plans -for life brought “sincerity,” a fairy, into their midst. Her waving -banner proclaimed to each the simple words, “Be true.” - -The graduates read their essays and received their diplomas, -accompanied by kind words from the Superintendent. Mr. S., rising, -called to him a boy of fifteen years and said: “A scholarship -was offered to the one who should excel in general scholarship, -punctuality and deportment. I hold in my hand a paper stating that -you, having done this, are entitled to the same.” Amid hearty -applause the gift was received with smiles and thanks. - -A few words from Mr. Callen, a colored preacher, and one of our -pupils; a parting song, a gathering in the school-room for the -“good-night,” and then we said good-by. - - * * * * * - - -BREWER NORMAL INSTITUTE. - -REV. L. C. JOELL. - -Greenwood is located at the junction of the Augusta & Knoxville -Railroad with the Columbia & Greenville. The town is one of the -prettiest in the upper part of South Carolina. With a population -of one thousand, with one hotel, four white schools, two colored -schools and several churches, a newspaper and other evidences -of thrift, it offers an attractive locality to settlers, and -especially as its climate is very healthful. The eleventh -anniversary of the Brewer Normal School, which is located in this -town, was observed June 28. This always creates a profound interest -in the vicinity, and long before the hour of commencing, an -anxious throng of every imaginable description of vehicle is seen -wending its way thitherward. On Sunday the 24th, a special sermon -was preached to the students and a large number of friends, from -Galatians 5:9. - -The exercises on the closing day were attended by an unusually -large number of citizens and visitors from far and near. The -students in attendance during the sessions were 157, an advance -upon that of any previous year. The programme of the day was -inviting. The principal, Mr. J. D. Backenstose, presided; vocal -and instrumental music for the occasion was supplied by Mrs. W. -W. Frazier, formerly Miss Mary Clark of Fisk University, and the -trained classes of the school. Rev. E. W. Williams of the Second -Pres. Church in Abbeville gave the address, taking for his subject -“Reality in Morals, in Education and in Christianity.” It enlisted -earnest attention during the hour consumed in its delivery. At the -intermission between the morning and evening sessions, friends held -fellowship with friends and betook themselves to the contents of -abundantly laden refreshment baskets. Everybody seemed to manifest -that the lines had fallen to him in pleasant places. - -The afternoon exercises consisted of singing, recitations and -dialogues from the little ones of the primary department. -The evening was occupied with similar exercises by the older -students of the school. The audience room was by far too small to -accommodate the immense throng seeking admission. The year’s work -has been a grand success. - - * * * * * - - -GOLIAD, TEXAS. - -BY MR. J. R. S. HALLOWAY. - -School closed here on the 31st of May with an examination and -exhibition. The house was packed to its utmost. Prominent white -people of Goliad were in attendance, and returned home surprised -and astonished, exclaiming “We saw more than we came to see. We -had no idea that the Congregational school could come up to this. -That anthem ‘Strike the Cymbals’ sung by the teacher and school -was splendid. We would advise all those who are sending their -children to this school to continue.” Goliad is acknowledged to -be the greatest educational centre in western Texas. The prospect -of building up a good school here is seventy-five per cent -better than it was a month ago. There is an educational society -instituted about a year ago which is doing all in its power for -the advancement of the school, and we look forward to the day when -the much needed school building will be provided. We are about to -organize a Band of Hope. - - * * * * * - - -HENDERSON SCHOOL, FAYETTEVILLE, ARK. - -BY MRS. H. D. FOSTER. - -The Henderson School closed its first year of nine months with -examinations Thursday, May 24th. A large number of interested -parents and friends came in to inquire and see for themselves what -their children had been doing for the year. After listening to -various recitations and exercises, they expressed themselves highly -pleased. - -Thursday evening the annual exhibition came off, and about 400 were -present. At half past eight o’clock, the pupils marched into the -primary room. They made a grand appearance, being neatly and some -of them very prettily dressed. The programme consisted of nineteen -parts, interspersed with good music. Some of the pieces given were -very pleasing. The calisthenic exercises and the selections were -all well rendered and won many complimentary remarks, not only from -colored people, but also from prominent white families of the city. -It is something unusual to see the ladies of the latter class out. - -Those who had seen the scholars at the beginning and at the end -of the session noticed a striking improvement in their personal -appearance. The intellectual, moral and spiritual culture had left -its stamp upon their countenances, and it was exhibited in their -deportment. - -Throughout the year special attention has been given to our Mission -Sunday school, out of which has grown a little church. During the -precious revival of January, some of our pupils gave their hearts -to Christ. In all our successes and discouragements the Heavenly -Father has been very near us. Hon. J. H. Van Hoose, a correspondent -of the _Arkansas Democrat_, the leading journal of the State, which -is published at the Capital, a citizen of high standing in the -State for forty years, and thirty years in this place, asked to -give an impromptu speech, in which he expressed his surprise at the -progress made. The following, clipped from the above-named journal, -written by this gentleman, will explain the sentiments of the -citizens here toward our work: - -[Illustration: A COTTON PLANTATION.] - -“Prof. Foster (colored) and his wife, formerly of Little Rock, -have just closed a nine months’ school at the brick school-house -in the northeast part of Fayetteville. They were at first employed -by our school directors to teach a three months’ school for the -colored portion of our district, but they continued to teach six -months longer for a very small consideration paid them by the -patrons of the school and the American Missionary Association. -The examination exercises closed Thursday night with a public -exhibition. The school room was neat and clean and gorgeously -decorated with festoons and wreaths of evergreens and flowers, and -the house filled with an appreciative audience, the best of order -prevailed, and your correspondent was delighted with the evidences -of improvement in the manner and conduct of all who had been so -fortunate as to be under the influence and training of Prof. Foster -and his accomplished assistant, Mrs. Foster.” - - * * * * * - - - - -THE INDIANS. - - * * * * * - - -TESTIMONY OF AN INDIAN AGENT. - -[Major Gassman, who was formerly engaged in the ministry at Omaha, -Nebraska, but who now is serving as Indian agent in Dakota, -recently paid a visit to Hampton, where he gave to the students an -interesting account of his experience in Indian work, which was -published in the _Southern Workman_, and from which we make the -following extracts.—ED.] - -I went to my post with fear and trembling. I had had no experience, -no business experience, or any but in the ministry; but I was sure -of one thing, that good, honest, persistent effort would bring good -results. I had heard about many of the iniquities and shortcomings -of agents. My friends warned me against the position. I knew that -the name of Indian agent had become almost a synonym of rascal or -cheat. I felt, however, that it was a position a man could fill -with honesty and integrity and good results. So I went to work. - -I was horrified at the state of things I found. For many years -an agency had been established; thousands of dollars had been -expended; a great many men had been employed. But I saw that the -Indians were discouraged, doing nothing, sulky and averse to -effort. I arrived at the agency early in April, and found that -the fields had been left for a year untilled and in a filthy -condition. I had had early experience as a farmer. I called the -Indians together, and told them they must clean their fields. They -said they had no teams or ploughs. I asked if they couldn’t at -least clean them up? They said yes. I told them to begin and I’d -see what I could do for them, but there was no time to lose. They -said they would start to-morrow. The next morning I was waked by -loud talking. I looked out and saw at least fifty women with hoes, -axes and shovels on their shoulders—not a man among them. I took an -interpreter and went out to them. They said they had come to clean -the fields. I said that was good, but I hadn’t sent for them, but -for the men. They laughed at that idea—it was a novelty. I told -them the men must come, gave them some good advice on household -work for women—on which I am well posted—and sent them home. They -went their way, and that was the end of the work. I couldn’t get an -Indian man out that time. I was puzzled what to do next. I went -out to the fields with the interpreter, and we did find one old -man who had gone to work. I told him to go on, and I’d plow what -he would clean up, which I did. This encouraged one and another by -degrees, with the gift of extra rations, and so at last we got the -fields cleaned and planted. - -The first year, though, was very trying, owing to my ignorance -of the Indian character. I spoke to them as I would to any one -else about truth and duty, etc., but met constant, persistent -opposition. I was wearied to death with their councils. Fifty to a -hundred great stalwart Indians would walk into my office, sit down -on the floor, and begin to smoke. Then I would wait with patience -till one of them would rise and make their wants known, and I -would answer them. But everything I proposed they would oppose, -for some reason I did not understand. They would tell me my words -were sweet, but that like all other white men, I was a liar. So it -went on for a year. It was rather hard to take their plain talk, -especially as I am somewhat of a muscular Christian. I gave them, -however, as good, plain talk as they sent, and let them understand -what I thought of them. - -But at the end of a year I thought I might as well give it up. I -wrote to my friends that I thought of resigning. Then I called -the Indians to a last council. I told them what I felt, why I -came, what I had endeavored to do. I spoke feelingly. When I had -finished, an old chief, “Struck by the Ree,” got up and said: “We -have listened to your words for a year. We have now come to the -conclusion that we will both listen and obey. We had been told that -you were not a good man. Many of us believed what we heard, but you -have convinced us that you are good, and we will obey you.” - -Well I stayed, and I had no more trouble, except such as was -unavoidable. The councils were more and more pleasant. I never had -a rude or disagreeable word from them again. They would sometimes -disagree with me, but generally took my advice, and were always -courteous. - -I laid before them first this plan. I told them that rations and -aid from government are only temporary. They will come to an end. -They are given to aid them to be self-supporting. I told them I had -come to help them to become so. They were not much interested in -that idea at first, but as continued dropping wears away the rock, -my words from day to day had some effect, and here and there I saw -some improvement. - -I found all the work at the agency done by whites—only two Indians -employed out of 2,000 Sioux at the station. I employed the Indians -as fast as possible to give them work. I put one boy in the -blacksmith shop, another with the carpenter, another in the mill, -two or three with the agency farmer, two in the butcher house, and -to help issue rations. When I came there I found the cattle were -slaughtered in a brutal manner, shot in a filthy yard, where the -Indians dressed the meat in a careless, unclean way. I applied for -a slaughter-house, cattle-pens and a proper butcher, and got them. -I put my Indian boys with him, as I said, and at the end of a month -they could take hold and do the work properly themselves, and did -it so six years. The beef was issued clean. - -The system of employing Indians and encouraging industry was -pleasing. They were glad to see their young men employed; they were -willing to go to work when there was any encouragement to do so. - -I had several thousand bushels of wheat to harvest. I succeeded in -getting the ground broken, the crop cultivated, the wheat ground -and eaten up, too. While they were threshing one hot day, some of -the Indians gave out. They sent me word from the field that two -more men were needed. I went out on my horse and looked about, -but couldn’t see an Indian anywhere but in the field. I rode to -the trader’s store, and there I found a young Indian _gentleman_, -gotten up in fine style, with red blanket, embroidered leggings -and moccasins, looking glass and fan; face painted, hair braided -and ornamented with feathers—“a fancy buck,” so they say out on the -frontier. I went up to him, laid my hand on his shoulder, and said, -“Friend, I want you.” He looked up with an independent air, and -said, “How!” I told him to get on his horse and follow me, which -he did. I took him into the field and up to the threshing machine, -and told the interpreter to tell him I wanted him to work and would -pay him so much. The Indian boys around laughed. I told them to -be quiet. He said “How,” and went at it. The only vacant place at -the machine was where the chaff and dust comes pouring out—not an -agreeable place for him—pouring out on his paint and oil. He never -had a pitchfork in his hands before, but he went to work manfully. -Pretty soon off came his red blanket; then off came the paint -itself in streaks. Piece by piece came off the rest of his toggery, -till the Indian was an Indian but not much besides. But he stuck -to that pitchfork. I watched him; if he had given out I would have -taken his place; but there was no give out to him; he worked right -on for three days; at the end of the time his delicate hands were -all bleeding. - -That shows the pluck of the Indian. I have had other employés, who -had never done a thing before in the way of labor, work till the -blood ran down their hands. This one was, of course, a remarkable -case. But I have had Indians who labored for me industriously for -eight years without ever losing one day. - -It was difficult to get them to save their wages. I finally adopted -a system of banking for them. They let me lay aside their wages -till the end of the quarter. Then we talked over the question what -they had better buy, and under my advice they generally spent their -money in useful articles, wagons, harness, stoves, furniture, etc. - -I received satisfactory evidence that the Indian can be made a -laboring man, but in order to do it we must pay him good wages to -start with. - - * * * * * - - - - -THE CHINESE. - - * * * * * - - -MISSION WORK IN MAY. - -REV. W. C. POND, SUPERINTENDENT. - -The dry figures are as follows: Eighteen schools, forty-one -teachers, the number of pupils enrolled, 1,043; the average -attendance (lessened doubtless in San Francisco by the fact that -just now our street lamps are not lighted, and our dark streets -are not viewed by Chinese as conducive to their personal safety), -435. Total number enrolled during the nine months now past, of the -present fiscal year, 2,470. Word came of at least five among the -pupils who, during May, professed to have turned from the worship -of idols, and to have become the followers of Christ. It seems to -me that in several of the schools the interest in spiritual things -is deepening, and that the prospect brightens for a continuous and -large harvest. - -“ALL QUIET UPON THE POTOMAC.” This proverb, dating back to the -troublous times of 1862, has often risen to my lips, as, week by -week, or day by day, I have asked tidings from our North School -in this city. In April it was established in permanent quarters, -where we believe it will grow to a size, and will cheer us with -a fruitfulness, second only to our central school. But in almost -every locality where we plant a school we are obliged by passive -resistance and patient endurance to “conquer a peace.” The struggle -has been longer and harder than usual in our North School, but -it seems to be over, and peace to be won. Our hoodlum neighbors -tried what virtue there was in outcries and in stones rattling -upon the roof and doors and blinds till they could have been -picked up by the bushel, and in various tricks which it would be -a waste of paper to describe, but have retired at last defeated -from the field, and the work moves on undisturbed. We have reason -to speak well of the protection extended us by the police, and to -remember with hearty admiration the heroic lady teacher who was the -principal sufferer and the champion in the fight. - -A PROTEST FROM OROVILLE.—As the most strenuous efforts seem -unlikely to secure the funds needed in order to continue our -full work, we look about to see where the knife can be applied. -I thought that a vacation would do as little harm at Oroville -as anywhere, and I sent word to close the school from June till -September. The following protest came back signed by sixteen of -the pupils: “Dear pastor.—We heard from you that you told Miss M. -Deuel to close this school at present. We are very sorry, because -this school is doing very well. We would like to understand the -words of truth, but we cannot do it without the teacher’s help. So -we hope you will consent to open this school continually. Some of -the boys just became Christians. If school to be closed seems we -like the sheep without a shepherd; perhaps we going other ways and -fall in the river of death. Or, this Oroville have many precious -souls; if this school to be continue may be other people come to -school and hear who are speak the gospel of Christ and come to him, -that their souls may be save.” They go on to say that they know -that the school cannot but be smaller in summer than in winter, and -that they will try to sustain it without a Chinese helper, but they -cannot bear to have it closed. - -How could I be deaf to such an appeal? I wrote them to do their -utmost to help me by their offerings and their prayers, and the -school should be continued. I confess that I do not know how I am -to maintain so large a work as ours now is, on resources so scanty; -but when souls are asking after God I cannot shut away the only -light that shines upon their path. I must trust God and trust God’s -people, and move on. - -LETTERS FROM HONG SING.—Hong Sing has been a helper for four or -five years. At present he is stationed at Santa Cruz, where special -interest has existed for some time, and five of the pupils have -been led to Christ. Two recent letters from this helper giving -accounts of his discussions with the heathen about him have greatly -interested me. They are too long to be inserted here, and I -scarcely know how to condense them without spoiling the charm which -comes from his queer attempts to get the English idioms. But I must -make the endeavor to give one. - -It describes in a pleasant way some of the petty annoyances to -which the Christian brethren are subjected by their heathen -countrymen; annoyances which, he says, make him think of Paul and -the other apostles; “though our trials it is a very trifle thing, -compared with theirs, _nothing_; yet I am dismayed because I get -impatient with them. I pray that God may open the blind of their -mind that they may see the Salvation of Christ.” - -He then goes on to say: “They argue with me several times, but -every time they get angry, then I stop. * * * They say: ‘You tell -the people must not gamble, not smoke opium, not swear. These -things are very suitable for us. But tell us not worship gods and -our parents when they die, this hurt our heart. You just think your -mother: how much pain when she bear you, and now you grow to be a -man, so you forget and ungrateful. It seem to me you are not come -from your mother but from the mountain bank, so that you will not -honor father and mother. If you were my brother, I would kill you -instantly.’” - -To all this Hong Sing replied: “Question is now, friends, _which -way_ we ought to honor father and mother, in life time or in death -time, with a kind word or with wrath answer your mother. Mind your -mother is honor or disobey is honor. Suppose when you come to -California your father and mother give you good advice—must not -gamble, not smoke opium, not go among the bad men, not be indolent -but industrious. You just see how many has been gambling, how many -smoke opium and do such evil things. Is this obey parent, honor, -admire? I think not at all. This is disobey, dishonor, ingratitude. -When I was in China I often see and hear of many men has beat -mother with a stick and not like to support her living, but permit -her starve and not let her have good food. But when she die then -you put ten pound pork and chicken and many things set on the -table, ask her to eat. In life time when she can eat and drink, -never buy five cents worth meat. When die, no eat, no drink. So you -will kill a calf, set on a table to ask her to eat and drink. It -is vanity. Our Confucius has said, ‘If any man were good conduct -and endeavor to walk on the wisdom way and good virtue that show to -obey and honor father and mother. Therefore, every man know he is -a good man and understand that he must have had good parents, and -he never said to honor our parents by worshipping them when they -die.’” Other points were made which cannot be reproduced. Under -ordinary circumstances I discourage all debating with the heathen. -I advise our helpers to keep close to their own work, which is to -preach the gospel. - - * * * * * - - - - -BUREAU OF WOMAN’S WORK. - -MISS D. E. EMERSON, SECRETARY. - - * * * * * - - -NOTES ON MEETINGS OF STATE SOCIETIES. - -The Woman’s Home Missionary Society, connected with the State -Association of Michigan, held its session during the meetings of -that body. The ladies present were addressed by Mrs. Norton, of -Dakota, and Miss Rose M. Kinney, of Georgia. Brief remarks were -made by Messrs Clark, Cobb, Gilbert and Pike. Mrs. Leroy Warren -was re-elected president, and measures were adopted providing for -co-operation with the benevolent societies of the Congregational -churches working in this country. It is probable that efforts will -be made by the ladies to bring the claims of these societies before -the people of Michigan in the early autumn. - - * * * * * - -The ladies of Iowa will continue to support their missionary, Miss -A. D. Gerrish, at New Orleans, La., and as they too have organized -for better co-operation, it is confidently hoped that the response -from the ladies will enable them to assume the support of a second -missionary, at some other point. They have selected as a State -Committee Mrs. S. H. Smith, of Davenport, and Mrs. J. H. Ellsworth, -of McGregor. - - * * * * * - -At the recent State Conference of Vermont, a special meeting of -the ladies was called to hear the claims of the A. M. A. missions -presented by Miss D. E. Emerson, and a good degree of interest -was manifested, resulting in the appointment of a committee of -three, Mrs. A. W. Wilde, of Charlotte, Mrs. Henry Fairbanks, of -St. Johnsbury, and Mrs. Bowman, of Newport, to secure co-operation -among the ladies of the Congregational churches of Vermont in -support of a missionary in the South. - -At the meeting of the Woman’s Aid to the A. M. A., in connection -with the Maine State Conference, there was a large and appreciative -audience to listen to the reports of their two missionaries, Misses -Lunt and Farrington. - -It was evident that the frequent correspondence with these -missionaries, and the knowledge thus gained of the field, had -quickened the sympathies of those contributing to their support, -and there is every reason to believe that the collections will -increase so that a third missionary will in good time be adopted, -either in the South or in the Indian Mission. Miss D. E. Emerson -addressed the ladies on the general work of the A. M. A. in the -South. In order to vary the means of raising funds and to awaken -more interest in the churches, a system of rotation of committees -is followed, and a new State Committee was therefore appointed: -Mrs. Hubbard, of Hiram; Miss L. C. Vose, of Dennysville, and -Miss S. Waldron, of Augusta. It was gratifying to learn that the -Committee of the past year, of which Miss Smith was chairman, laid -aside with regret the duties which, though involving considerable -care, had proved more a pleasure than a burden. - - * * * * * - -The ladies of Illinois have adopted the same plan of aid to the -A. M. A. as the ladies of Maine, and have appointed as a State -Committee Mrs. E. F. Williams, of Chicago; Mrs. H. L. Boltwood, of -Ottawa, and Mrs. Charles Perry, of Geneva. Already the conferences -have been districted to the State Committee, and the sub-collectors -appointed. They will continue the support of a missionary at -Mobile, Ala., and have adopted also Miss Rose M. Kinney to -represent them at Little Rock, Ark. - - * * * * * - -One of the ladies appointed at the Illinois Meeting has written an -encouraging letter which indicates the heartiness with which the -work is entered upon in that State. She says: “Last month we heard -the sound of the new departure from Maine. When we are sure it is -the Master calling, the sound flies quickly, and we are thankful it -has so soon reached Illinois. We already, from the new consecration -it arouses in us, are buckling on the armor. I assure you that from -the ladies of this State will come no uncertain sound. We must do -the work.” - - * * * * * - - -[That our friends may know the spirit that pervades our missionary -teachers, enabling them to rise above the discouragements and -trials of the field in the joy of Christian service, we give -a few gleanings from recent correspondence not written for -publication.—D. E. E.] - -—I never enjoyed my work so much as during the past year, although -it was never so hard before. - -—The year’s work has been such a pleasant one that I am reluctant -to bring it to a close, although I feel the need of the coming rest. - -—I hope my return another year may be favorably considered by you, -as I must see _my boys_ through. I have but just begun the work. -I like it and feel that another year I could accomplish much more -than I have this. - -—My health has failed and it is thought to be a risk for me to -remain through the year. It is a great disappointment to me, -I believe the greatest I ever had, for I love the work and so -strongly hoped I should be able to continue. But God knows best. -Perhaps in years to come He may grant me such measure of strength -as will enable me again to enter this field. - -—Our scholars have done good, faithful work for some time past -and the results will show, I am sure. I _do_ enjoy the work -thoroughly. Of course there are times of discouragement, days when -we wonder if some one else could not do more or better for those -who are under our instruction, when it seems as if it were spending -our strength for naught; but I suppose every person knows what it -is to feel so, and I certainly am glad to do what I can while I can. - -—We are very busy now, this last half of the year. My room is -very full—sixty-eight. They sit thickly together, close up to my -platform, and three with me by my desk. I enjoy my school very -much, even more than I anticipated, especially now that I really -know my scholars individually. I have many who are eighteen or -twenty years old and I feel anxious for them to learn all they can, -for fear they may not come another year. I really trust I may be -led in just the right way in this work, for I came here with that -one desire. - -—On reaching here I found Miss —— busy in her preparation to leave -in answer to your call. The young people look as sad as though -parting with a mother, and several, both old and young, said to me: -“Do tell them in New York they must send her back—she understands -us so well and we her, and it would take a long time for a -stranger, to know us.” One old man said, “I tell you she is smart.” -Oh, how I do wish she could go before the ladies of our Northern -churches and tell of this work. I know that they are very ignorant -in regard to the needs of these fields. I know, too, there is a -willingness to do if they could only be shown the needs and be once -awakened. - - * * * * * - - -WORK AT THE DAKOTA MISSION. - -In the AMERICAN MISSIONARY for April we gave a statement relating -to the transfer by the American Board of its Dakota mission to the -A. M. A., and published a list of the missionaries. Among these -were Miss Illsley, Mrs. Steer, Miss Voorhees and Miss Webb, who -were laboring at the Santee Agency. We have gleaned from their -circular letters in the _Word Carrier_ the following extracts which -indicate the importance and success of woman’s work for the Indians. - -Miss Illsley says: “As each one who writes will naturally tell of -her own work, it becomes my pleasure to speak especially of our -life at the Bird’s Nest. Miss Brown and I think we have seventeen -as interesting little girls to look after as can be. Our oldest -is twelve, and our youngest five years of age. All are doing well -in school. Our little girls love to learn their Bible verses, and -while we teach them the words, we hope and feel that God impresses -the truths on their hearts as we cannot. Many of them say, ‘I am -going to read the Bible to mamma when I go home.’” - -Mrs. Steer writes: “I deem it one of the highest privileges granted -to me in this life to be numbered among the Dakota missionaries, -although with the care of my family I can do but little definite -missionary work. Yet I would be loath to stand as an outsider. God -granting me the strength of body, I hope soon to take a more active -part in this grand work. We have strong evidence that God’s Spirit -is with us at this time, and a number of our young people have -been led to think seriously of their spiritual condition, and have -entered the fold which has Christ for its Shepherd.” - -Miss Voorhees writes: “I have had nineteen boys in my care, until -the Poncas left. Seven are now in bed with the measles. Some of -them are very sick, but all are so patient and obedient that it -makes the work of caring for them comparatively easy. The three -Berthold boys are very interesting, and I think promising boys. -Miss Calhoun, Mrs. Hall’s sister, is associated with me at present. -Though our boys are too small to see any decided results just yet, -one of them has expressed a desire to unite with the church.” - -Miss Webb says: “The amount there is to be done and overcome too -often discourages and overwhelms us, and it seems to me in a letter -like this, a few thoughts on points of progress and improvement -may be helpful. There seems to me to have been progress in -spiritual, mental and physical aspects. There is a hidden principle -in our girls to which we can effectually appeal, which has been -developing, and makes dealing with them by force and various -contrived punishments less and less necessary. They are more open -to reason, and are more influenced by kind talks, and a knowledge -of our desires for them. There is not the clannishness among them, -which made it so hard to discipline one, because all would rebel -and side with the erring one. These are a few of the indications -which show the heart is being educated, and the seed is taking -root. There is also more gratitude manifest, more diligence in -study, and more real live interest shown. We hear less frequently, -and more reasonably, ‘give me this or that,’ which seemed to come -so continually, and in such a way as to make us feel all they -thought or cared about was what they could get out of us, and there -is less fault-finding with what they receive. Looking at them in -a physical aspect it would almost seem as if some of them had -new bodies, so much have they improved by their regular life and -habits.” - - * * * * * - - - - -CHILDREN’S PAGE. - - * * * * * - -[Illustration] - - -A LITTLE MERCHANT. - -BY MISS E. E. BACKUP. - -It could hardly be called a village; there were a few houses, a few -stores, and a mammoth hotel. During “the season” all the life of -the place seemed to centre about the hotel. The building covered -considerable space, and two sides were inclosed with glass, which -gave it quite an Oriental air. The hotel was known for miles -around, and when the house was full a pleasurable excitement -pervaded the little hamlet. It extended to the little pickaninnies -who rolled and tumbled in the log cabins which dotted the -landscape in every direction as far as the eye could reach. What a -scramble there was to see the gentlemen and ladies as they walked -or drove by, and a party on horseback was a sight sufficiently -imposing to warrant extra efforts. - -To these little folks, who never pored dreamily over enchanting -fairy tales, Denis Hotel was a veritable fairy palace inhabited by -choice fairies from the dim and shadowy Northland, whose pockets -contained a never failing supply of gold. This latter was almost -an article of faith among the youthful colored population of K., -and developed a very large eye for business. The roads swarmed with -colored urchins desirous of selling various wares. One class of -infants had an inexhaustible supply of gourds which they offered -at remarkably low rates to the “Yankee” ladies. Another class of -juveniles was of a geological turn, and enough arrow-heads and -other Indian “remains” were offered for sale to stock several -national museums. Then, when all else failed, there were the sweet -wild flowers which seemed softly to plead for the dark little -fingers which had lovingly brought them forth into the light. - -General Grant was one of the most indefatigable and successful of -the little merchants, as was befitting the namesake of a great -General. Intelligence beamed from the General’s dark face, and -there was no resisting the mute appeal of his large, lustrous eyes. - -“What, more flowers!” we exclaimed, one day, “and jessamine, too! -five cents? Oh, yes, we’ll take them. Really, General, you must be -growing rich.” - -“I does right smart, thank you,” with a smile and a bow, the -graceful native politeness more than atoning for the defective -speech. - -“We rejoice in your success, General,” chimed in Mr. Brown. “Two -or three little rascals have tried to make us believe that their -pennies all went straight into the contribution box. It’s likely we -should believe such nonsense! Now we would just like to know what -you do with your money. Buy candy, I’ll be bound.” - -The large eyes grew a trifle larger as their little owner -unflinchingly encountered Mr. Brown’s steadfast gaze. “We chillens -are mighty fond of candy,” he said, “and it’s seldom we get a bit. -I did buy some candy once for the young uns, but the rest has done -gone for homespun.” - -“What do you do with homespun?” - -“Why, mammy makes dresses for the girls. Sally looked mighty peart -last night when she put on her new dress, and didn’t she dance -’round though,” and the kind eyes grew moist at the recollection. - -“Then you don’t put money in the contribution box?” Mr. Brown -continued. - -“We put a cent in ‘most every Sunday. But we get our Sunday-school -money ‘knocking up Jerusalem.’” - -“The dickens!” exclaimed Mr. Brown, quite forgetting himself, “and -how do you ‘knock up Jerusalem’?” - -“‘Knocking up Jerusalem’ is a song, sir,” our little hero -respectfully replied; “and we shall be right proud to sing it to -you sometime if you’ll come to the cabin. And you ain’t to give us -anything, neither.” - -“We’ll come,” said Mr. Brown. “We want to see Sally’s new gown, and -I wouldn’t fail to hear ‘Knocking up Jerusalem.’” - -We went, according to promise, and were most hospitably received -at the little cabin. We admired Sally’s blue and white homespun, -and when that subject was exhausted we listened to “Knocking up -Jerusalem.” The five children stood in a row with Gen. Grant at -their head, and kept time with their feet as they sang. It was -evidently one of the old-time spiritual songs, a queer mixture, and -we listened with mingled feelings of interest and regret—interest -in the dark, earnest little faces, and the sweet, pathetic strains, -regret at the words and gestures, alike meaningless. - -The song ended, we talked of Jesus, and these little ones, ignorant -and untaught, yet knew of Him as the children’s Friend. - -Gen. Grant was actively engaged as long as we remained in K., but -it was slow work after all, and we became so interested in his -unselfish efforts, that we determined to aid him. Enough homespun -for several dresses was privately left at the cabin, together with -a few simple papers and books, of which the cabin was utterly -destitute. The day we left, Gen. Grant was at the station to -present us with a beautiful bouquet, and we almost cried ourselves -as he bade us a tearful good-bye. - -Our chief regret for K. is that we can do so little to improve the -condition of the colored people there. Poor and ignorant, they need -what they have never had, an educated teacher. We wish the A. M. A. -was rich enough to sustain a school in every Southern village. - - * * * * * - - - - -RECEIPTS FOR JUNE, 1883. - - * * * * * - - - MAINE, $210.86. - - Bangor. First Cong. $20.56 - Dennysville.

STORRS, D.D., - -Pastor of the Church of the Pilgrims, Brooklyn, N.Y. - -In addition to the collection of Psalms, this Psalter contains -selections, not only from the Messianic prophets, but from the -poetry of the Books of Job, from the Proverbs, from Ecclesiastes, -and one or two from the Book of Revelations. The following order of -arrangement has been adopted, viz.: - - - THE PSALMS. - -I.—The Preparation of the Spirit for Divine Worship. II.—The -worship of God for His goodness and majesty. III.—The worship -of God for the Kingship of His Son. IV.—The worship of God as -defender of His people. V.—The worship of God as Judge on the -earth. VII.—The worship of God for the teaching of His Word. -VII.—Supplication to God for deliverance and favor. - - - OTHER SELECTIONS. - -VIII.—Praise to God for His greatness. IX.—God’s purposes -concerning Christ and the Church. X.—The briefness of man’s life. -XI.—The excellence of wisdom. XII.—The glory of the heavenly life. - -This edition of the Psalter has been awaited with much interest, -and the knowledge that Dr. Storrs was engaged upon it has given -general satisfaction. The previous work has had a successful life, -having been instrumental, as the pioneer Psalter, in awakening -widespread interest in responsive reading. There were necessarily -some changes to be made in that edition which long use and -experience have suggested. More changes are made in this edition, -and we now have such a Psalter as will fully meet the requirements -of all non-Episcopal churches. It is needless to say that Dr. -Storrs is more eminently fitted to the work of preparing the -Psalter than most men, and the work will undoubtedly be accepted as -the general standard. - -The work is furnished for introduction at low rates. Churches using -the old edition may exchange for the new on favorable terms. - -A specimen copy will be sent, postpaid, for examination, to any -address, on receipt of 75 cents. Address the publishers. - - - DR. JOSEPH P. HOLBROOK - -is by general consent in the front rank to-day of composers -of church music. He is the Musical Editor of “The Songs for -the Church,” “Songs for the Sanctuary,” “Baptist Praise Book,” -“Methodist Hymnal,” “Part Songs,” “Quartet and Chorus Choir,” etc., -etc. - -Holbrook’s tunes have thus become wedded to many, if not most, of -the acceptable hymns now sung. Compilers of hymn and tune books -are eager to secure these tunes, as they find that no book can be -said to be complete without them. Many of Holbrook’s latest tunes -are, however, the best he has made, and he has recently issued a -new book embodying them all, together with a fine collection of the -best English and American tunes. The - - - Worship in Song - -contains 700 choice hymns and 500 tunes. In the selection of -hymns Dr. Holbrook has had the colaboration of several eminent -hymnologists, and on account of them alone the book will be found -to be the most acceptable yet published. - -The book has been adopted by Presbyterian and Congregational -churches east and west, and adds greatly to the interest in the -worship wherever used. A prominent clergyman in Connecticut says: -“I am much interested in Mr. Holbrook’s book. We use it daily and -enjoy it. I have always thought the success of ‘Songs for the -Sanctuary’ was more due to the musical editing than to anything -else.” - -For specimen copies, price post-paid $1.25, which may be returned -after examination, if desired. Address the publishers. - - - JUST PUBLISHED. - - A Liturgy for Non-Episcopal Churches. - -A General Liturgy and Book of Common Prayer, prepared by - - PROF.

As the climate South -is enervating to those who have been raised at the North, it -is essential that our missionaries working in that portion of -the country return every year or two to their former homes and -associations for recuperation and courage for future work. Many -of them need also contact with Northern society to refresh their -hearts and minds, and to gain a stimulus not imparted by the circle -of acquaintances found on the Southern field. These visits North -afford opportunities for our workers to make known the wants of -the people with whom they labor, and to show the deep interest -they take in their welfare, and the sacrifices they are willing -to make in their behalf. The return of a missionary to the church -from which he or she went forth, often gives a spiritual uplift to -the whole congregation. We are happy to recognize the<a class="pagenum" name="Page_226" id="Page_226">[226]</a> willingness -manifested by pastors, by Sabbath-schools and by local missionary -societies, to afford these returned missionaries the privilege -of explaining the needs of their work and of enlisting a deeper -sympathy for it. We wish, however, to make it known that these -missionaries greatly appreciate kindly attention. Many of them have -felt the want of it on the Southern field, and sometimes on their -return after protracted absence receive it with glad surprise. -We are sure that if those with whom they meet will be forward to -express their pleasure in seeing them and their interest in their -sacrifices and success, they will find that the little effort -put forth to give cheer will go a long ways in strengthening the -heart, and adding to the ability of the missionary to do more -valiantly the work of Christian patriotism in which he is engaged. -Invitations to literary and social circles, as well as to more -strictly religious meetings, will almost always be grateful to -the tired worker, and we are very sure that the information, the -unconscious influence, imparted by the missionary, as well as the -satisfaction in having done a good and kindly service, will amply -repay for any effort Christian friends may make to render the -missionary’s vacation agreeable and profitable.</p> -</div> - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<div class="article"> -<h3>CONGREGATIONALISM SOUTH.</h3> - -<p class="secauth">RY REV. J. E. ROY, D.D.</p> - -<p>When the American Missionary Association went “down toward the -South,” Congregationalism was hated by the ruling class, as coming -from the hot-bed of New Englandism, and was absolutely unknown -among the people to whom the Northern evangelism then had access, -and even on their part, as a system, it had yet to encounter the -densest opposition which ignorance, superstition and sectarianism -could combine. And when, like John the Baptist, it laid the ax at -the root of the tree, demanding morality as well as pietism, it -confronted the momentum of generations of pagan vice confirmed -by the indurations of the system of slavery. In order to get any -foothold on this basis, it has to begin with the spelling-book, as -the key to the incarcerated Bible. But the hunger for letters, for -ideas, forced a way into the word of God. Schools followed the army -across the Southland. Revivals, like the Northern clover, sprang up -in the same track. Every teacher, by his or her vow, entered into -with the A. M. A., became a missionary.</p> - -<p>Talk about women’s work for women. Here, for a score of years, have -been from 150 to 200 gifted consecrated women, of whom the world -was not worthy, sacrificing youth and beauty, going for a time into -places where men could not stand, with their names cast out as -vile, yet lifting up their lowly sisters and starting scores and -scores of young men on into a religious life and into the ministry -of the Lord Jesus. As converts multiplied, many of them took to the -old churches, and not a few desired<a class="pagenum" name="Page_227" id="Page_227">[227]</a> to have the way which their -dear teachers represented. And so, gradually there came on these -churches, each one a miniature republic, and each, in almost every -case, an outcome of the school process.</p> - -<p>In that early time, not a few of the best tried friends of the -Association grew uneasy at the slow progress of the church work, -only in late years to admire the wisdom of the administration in -not picking the pear before it was ripe. The M. E. church going -South had only to open its doors to receive 200,000 of the old-time -Methodists, with their clinging immoralities and their corrupting -ministers. Grandly has that patriotic church wrestled with its -problem. But ours has been a call to a different task.</p> - -<p>In five years after the close of the war, besides the three -John G. Fee churches in Kentucky, which had flung themselves -upon the serried ranks of the slaveholders, compelling a vast -region to behold what sort of stuff this Puritanism was made -of, the Association numbered <em>eleven</em> churches among the sable -brethren, whose teachers and preachers usually joined with them -in fellowship. In ten years these had come to number <em>forty</em>. And -now, eighteen years after the war, the total is <em>eighty-nine</em>, an -average of five for each year. Nor are these merely nominal or -skeleton churches. Their average membership is <em>sixty-five</em>, while -that of all our churches west of the Mississippi is <em>thirty-five</em>. -Nearly every one has its own place of worship and its own pastor. -Their own ministers have had to be grown, converted and trained -up from the alphabet, while multitudes have been prepared in our -schools for service in the old-time churches, the small number -that we have taken (a half hundred, besides several foreign -missionaries) serving only as the toll for grinding the grists. A -high wisdom was that which was displayed by the early workers in -seizing upon the strategic points, so that one can now hardly go to -a principal city of the South without finding there a fully-working -Congregational church, such as those at Washington, Hampton, -Charleston, Raleigh, Savannah, Macon, Atlanta, Mobile, Montgomery, -Birmingham, Meridian, Jackson, New Orleans, Austin, Little Rock, -Memphis, Nashville, Chattanooga, Knoxville, and Louisville. So it -seems that this work has gone on in every State of the South, for -in Florida, which might seem an exception, the noted church at -Jacksonville was organized by one of the actuaries of the A. M. A., -and nourished by another. Nor have these churches been left to the -weakness of an isolated independence. For the better training of -them, and for the consolidating of their strength, they have been -organized into regular State associations, which have sought to -introduce the methods of the North, which in their varied services -often come to an intellectual and spiritual glow that astonishes -us, and which come to a consciousness of their national fellowship -when they each elect their delegates to the annual meeting of the -A. M. A., and to the National Council, one of their own members -having served at the last triennial as an assistant moderator. -These State bodies now number<a class="pagenum" name="Page_228" id="Page_228">[228]</a> <em>eight</em>, which nearly cover the -whole South. So, then, the physical geography of the land is quite -well mapped out, Congregationally. There remains much space for -filling.</p> - -<p>No view of the Congregationalism taken into the South by the A. M. A. -will be complete without considering the pervasive influence -of all of these churches and institutions of learning, that have -come to be a power universally recognized. Almost every member -going forth from them is, in some sense, a representative of the -Congregational idea, though he does not himself take the name. -In all the South, among the whites as well as the blacks, these -principles have been made known, so that the way, in great part, is -prepared for carrying on there a spiritual propagandism that shall -yet recognize the essential feature of this past dispensation, -which, at the North, has been up-borne by sympathy and prayer, the -consecration of substance and the offering of sons and daughters, -and which, at the South, has bravely stood, this score of years, -for this sublime act and testimony, in sacrifice enduring hardness, -ostracism and scorn, viz., the features of the brotherhood of -man in Christ Jesus, the real unity of all Christian believers, -irrespective of race, color, or social condition.</p> - -<p class="right smcap">The Congregationalist.</p> -</div> -<hr class="chap" /> - -<div class="article"> -<h3>GENERAL NOTES.</h3> - - -<h4>AFRICA.</h4> - -<p>—The French government will shortly submit to the Chamber a -project for the construction of a railroad from Soukarras to -Tebessa.</p> - -<p>—Dr. Schweinfurth will soon come to Halle to confer with Dr. -Riebeck upon the results of their exploration of Sokotora.</p> - -<p>—The English missionaries sent to reinforce the station of Roubaga -have all been detained by the fever at Msalala to the south of -Victoria Nyanza.</p> - -<p>—P.

E. C. Wright.</p> - -<p>The seventeenth year of Berea College closed on June 30th with -most satisfactory marks of the sustained usefulness and increasing -importance of the school.</p> - -<p>The Commencement festival really began with the joint exhibition -of the Ladies’ Literary and Phi Delta Societies on Friday evening, -before a large audience, in the chapel. The pupils of the lower -schools gave their interesting exhibitions in the same place on -Saturday evening. President Fairchild’s baccalaureate discourse on -Sunday morning was a vigorous and comprehensive rehearsal of the -religious and moral ideas of consecration to God and love toward -all men, which this college has ever sought to impress on its -students; his text, Phil. iv., 9, “Those things, which ye have both -learned and received and heard and seen in me, do.” No Christian -man could have heard it without feeling how supremely important -for the educational regeneration of the South is such a spirit of -religious earnestness.</p> - -<p>On Tuesday evening the Literary Societies were addressed on the -subject of “Progress,” by Col. Swope, who is the Internal Revenue -Collector for this district, and a native of Kentucky.</p> - -<p>On Wednesday came the final exercises, which gathered a great -multitude from mountain and from plain. The season has been very -rainy, but this was the most perfect of June days—its unclouded -sun tempered by a cool breeze from the south. Soon after sunrise -vehicles of every description, and saddle-horses carrying one, two -or three passengers, began to pour in toward the Tabernacle, most -visitors bringing luncheon for a noon-time picnic in the oak grove.</p> - -<p>Besides the three graduates—one from the classical, and two from -the scientific course—fourteen other students from the higher -classes presented orations or essays. All were listened to by the -great audience with interest, and some with enthusiasm. In the -afternoon nearly as many gathered again to hear a most suggestive -and interesting address from Rev. R. T. Hall, of Mount Vernon, -Ohio, on “The Abuse of Liberty.” Short addresses followed from Rev. -Mr. Simmons of the (colored Baptist) Bible Institute of Louisville, -and Rev. Mr. Barnett, a Methodist minister from College Hill.</p> - -<p>It suggests the interest of our neighbors in the work of Berea -that the Kentucky <cite>Register</cite>, published at the county seat and -a representative paper of the Kentucky aristocracy, gave nearly -a column the next day to a strongly commendatory notice of the -exercises. A gentleman of a well-known old Kentucky family -passing this way toward the mountains turned aside to see what -the Commencement was like, and spent the day in such unexpected -approval of what he saw and heard that he declared at night that he -might be set down hereafter as for Berea every time. This is the -more noticeable as the appearance of blacks and whites in about -equal numbers and with entirely equal respect on the same platform -must at first have given a great shock to his Southern prejudices.</p> - -<p>A Northern visitor, remarking on the perfect pronunciation of the -speakers, said,<a class="pagenum" name="Page_232" id="Page_232">[232]</a> “A blind man could not tell to which race the -several speakers belong.” The “color blindness” which still keeps -the students of Berea about equally divided between the two races -is one of the most important elements in its work for reducing the -illiteracy of Kentucky (28 per cent. of the voters and almost as -much of it white as black), and settling the problems the nation -has inherited from slavery.</p> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h3>ATLANTA UNIVERSITY.</h3> - -<p class="secauth">PROF.

Some of the visitors -evidently thought the interior of Stone Hall most too fine for -poor students, and so we often felt moved to call attention to the -simplicity of its construction, and the fact that good Boston desks -do not cost much more than the very cheapest kind.</p> - -<p>On each day quite a large number of spectators was present.</p> - -<p>While numerous complimentary remarks were made we do not think -that some features of the school were fully appreciated. Latin, -Greek, higher mathematics and metaphysics still possess a charm for -scholars, both South and North, while modern methods in the lower -grades attract the attention and win the admiration of only an -appreciative few.</p> - -<p>The specimens of map drawing and of original designs in industrial -drawing were considered good by competent judges.</p> - -<p>For several years a large part of the public have had object -lessons from nature and in form of a daily exercise, with especial -reference to teaching them to make simple and exact statements in -clear and correct language; and in their examinations they were -said to show marked ability in making nice distinctions and using -good English.</p> - -<p>The experiment of the senior normal girls in cottage housekeeping -under the direction of one of the teachers meets with universal -favor. Everybody in these United States thinks every girl ought to -know how to keep house well, and the best way to learn how to do a -thing is to do it. The outcome of the work in this department is -highly satisfactory, and we wish we had a larger cottage for next -year.</p> - -<p>The silk culture has been worth the while for the sake of the -entertainment and instruction it has afforded, even if no pecuniary -benefit came from it. The worms “wound up” their business, at -about the same time the rest of us did ours, and everybody said -“Well done.”</p> - -<p>The competitive gardens formed another feature in our work. These -were a rod square and thirty-six in number. Beets, beans, peas, -potatoes and onions were the crops. The potatoes were dug on the -last day of examination, and it was found that our native African -had gained the first prize, having 82½ pounds on his square rod. -How about slavery’s developing the African race?</p> - -<p>As the visitors inspected the new barn, the twelve full kits of -carpenters’ tools donated by a friend in New York City, though -still unused, were not concealed from view. Funds for a shop have -now been pledged, and a teacher of carpentering is to be employed, -even if some other department is suspended, and the boys are to be -taught the use of tools, in obedience to the prevailing sentiment -of what ought to be, and in the hope that such instruction will -help the colored man to hold his present position in the mechanical -field.</p> - -<a class="pagenum" name="Page_233" id="Page_233">[233]</a> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 500px;"> -<img src="images/atlantau.jpg" width="500" height="299" alt="" /> -<div class="center">ATLANTA UNIVERSITY BUILDINGS.</div> -</div> - -<a class="pagenum" name="Page_234" id="Page_234">[234]</a> - -<p>On Commencement day “everything passed off well,” and a clergyman -from Boston was heard to say, “Good thoughts well expressed.” -Sixteen young men and women received diplomas or certificates, and -listened to parting words from the president.</p> - -<p>Governor McDaniel honored us with his presence, and sent a verbal -message to the graduates, saying that he had been much pleased with -their exercises and felt a warm interest in them.</p> - -<p>At the alumni meeting an excellent paper was read by an alumnus -upon the subject of industrial education, and several speeches were -made, showing intellectual growth and telling of good work done.</p> - -<p>Within ten days from Commencement, as many as three-fourths of -our students will be scattered all over the State, and in many -places in neighboring States, metamorphosed into dignified and -wise pedagogues.

Walter B.

A. Hodge, principal, examined the classes, with -four lady helpers, who would take high stand in our best Northern -schools, in their several departments. There have been 298 pupils -enrolled, an increase of fifty per cent. As we listened to the -highly creditable results we learned better how to teach, and were -filled with equal regard for the field which is “white already,” -and for those laborers whom the Lord of the vineyard, through the -A. M. A., has sent forth into His harvest.</p> - -<p>The work of adding to knowledge, understanding, requires patient -toil here, yet we learned from the assistant principal, Miss -Lindsley, who has taught in four States, that she has never before -accorded the highest mark (100) to two scholars, in any one -school, for deportment and scholarship. Miss Sprague, teacher of -the Intermediate Department, has shown good results in the common -English branches and declamation, and has a bright, stimulating way -of interesting her pupils. Miss Pingree has won in a few months the -love of the primary class so heartily, that two of them meeting -a visitor, a stranger in this city, anxiously inquired, “Do you -think Miss Pingree will come back?” Her success as a missionary -has led her to feel called to that work; and could such a need -here be filled, the A. M. A. have one who is already beloved among -this people in such capacity whose labors have been voluntarily -given outside of school hours. All the teachers seek to know their -pupils in their homes, taking long walks “without the camp.” We -wish that a missionary horse and carriage could be an auxiliary! -Miss Woodworth has developed the music to an astonishing degree. -They have performed a cantata, sing accurately in difficult parts, -and the primary class reminded us of a full band of music! These -teachers are much beloved, and the young women of the school gave -them a surprise party at the Home, furnishing ice cream and cake. -This was a voluntary certificate of esteem.</p> - -<p>The Exhibition Day filled the church with an audience of 400. -We noticed in the dialogues an apparent enjoyment, evincing the -imitative faculty and love for diversion. In these they seemed -to feel at home. The exercises were listened to with unbroken -attention throughout. The last feature of the occasion was the -presentation of a Wheeler & Wilson sewing machine, costing $65 -(through the Macon agent, Judge M. R. Freeman), awarded by the -company to the girl who produced the best work; five machines -having been furnished during the winter for practice. Mrs. D. W. -Job, daughter of the late Rev. Nehemiah Adams, D.D., of Boston, in -the name of Mrs. Lathrop and Mrs. Hodge whom she called the “Woman -in Proverbs,” and “Dorcas”—told the story of the sewing school and -awarded the machine.</p> - -<p>For three years Mrs. Lathrop, the worthy “minister’s wife,” has met -nearly every week with girls to teach them to sew. They have made -about 500 garments, and one of their patch-work quilts has been -given to the oldest scholar, <em>aged</em> 93! Ten competed for the prize. -Mrs. Prof. Hodge, matron of the Teachers’ Home, has assisted this -winter in this benevolent and important work.</p> - -<p>Prof. Hodge, with some earnest words of fitting counsel, presented -certificates of graduation to the senior class of three boys and -four girls.</p> - -<p>After a beautiful chorus, all were invited to adjourn to the -dedication of a gem of a building, which we will call “The -Emerald,” in chaste tints of green and olive, set in the rear of -the grounds on the brow of the hill. This might be appropriately -termed “The Lathrop Library,” for the pastor in the last two years -has collected the books and the money which now constitute a public -library for the colored people and their friends.</p> - -<p>The building cost $350, and contains about 3,600 volumes, and -is furnished with book-cases, chairs, table and a cabinet. What -publishers or friends will now<a class="pagenum" name="Page_236" id="Page_236">[236]</a> supply magazines and papers, -imparting religious instruction and profitable information? The -lower story, it is hoped, will be converted into a workshop, where -trades may be taught. Money will be needed for this.</p> - -<p>The evening was devoted to a concert, conducted by Miss Woodworth. -We recognized one of the best and most difficult Harvard songs, nor -could the Glee Club sing it with better expression.</p> - -<p>In social, educational, moral and religious growth, this year’s -work of the A.

FARNHAM.</p> - -<p>Our Commencement exercises began with the sermon, Sunday, June -24, which was preached by Rev. Prof. A. G. Townsend, of Claflin -University. The following, with reference to the sermon, is from -the <cite>News and Courier</cite>:</p> - -<p>“The sermon to the graduating class at Avery Institute was -delivered last evening at 6 o’clock to a full audience by the Rev. -Professor A. G. Townsend, of Claflin University, who is also an -alumnus of Avery. After a brief salutation to old and new friends, -which was conceived in good taste and just feeling, the preacher -announced his text, Prov. iv., 13: ‘Take fast hold of instruction; -let her not go; keep her, for she is thy life.’ The discourse was -straightforward and of substantial interest.”</p> - -<p>Monday, June 25, was “Children’s Day.” This day, organized by the -present Principal seven years ago, has become almost as popular as -“Graduation Day.” The leading features this year were selections -from the Kitchen-Garden exercises, as taught by Miss Huntington -of New York, and the exhibit of two quilts, a rug, and a quantity -of holders, which were made by the children. In these exercises -and the use of the needle, the boys have engaged as heartily and -successfully as the girls. This industrial showing was enlivened -with singing, several recitations, a dialogue, and two class -readings. “Children’s Day” is given to the primary and intermediate -classes. To these classes have been devoted two hours a week for -industrial work.</p> - -<p>The grammar school exhibition occurred June 26. The 1st years gave -Miss Andrews’ geographical play of the “United States,” and a -dialogue, in a manner that reflected credit upon their teacher, who -had prepared them. The 2d years gave two class readings (a scene -from “William Tell” and “The Charcoal Man”); and the 3rd years -gave the comic opera of “King Alfred.” The industrial work of this -department has been confined to inventive and perspective drawing. -In inventive drawing the pupils made their designs with sticks, -first of equal then of unequal lengths, and when these designs were -accepted by the teacher they were drawn first on slates, then in -drawing books.</p> - -<p>On Graduation Day, June 29, six young men and the same number of -young women read essays. Their subjects were: “Our Common School Law,” “After -Graduation, What?” “Chemistry of Common Things,” “The -Relation of Geography to Other Sciences,” “The Action of Alcohol on -the Body and Mind,” “Water,” “Why Do You Use Tobacco?” “Industrial -Education,” “Should Cooks be Educated?” “Physical Culture,” “Heat,” -and “Some Evidences of Christianity.” This class chose for its -motto, “Nothing great is lightly won.” The young men all intend to -go to college.</p> - -<p>The results of the industrial work in the normal department were -a surprise to<a class="pagenum" name="Page_237" id="Page_237">[237]</a> all on account of the quantity, variety and beauty -of the work displayed. It consisted of colored designs for dadoes, -borders and embroidery; useful and ornamental articles of scroll -sawing; leaves, animals, vases, a bust and other articles modeled -in artists’ clay; samples of printing, including the commencement -programmes, and a fine display of crochet and art needlework. An -average of an hour a week was given to the industrial work in the -normal department.</p> - -<p>The music, both vocal and instrumental, on each occasion, was good. -Special mention should be made of “Inflammatus,” from “Stabat -Mater,” which was well given and well received. Bible recitations -by classes took the place of Bible readings in the devotional -exercises of each day. On graduation day the graduating class -recited the 12th chapter of Ecclesiastes.</p> - -<p>On July 4th the Avery Alumni Association meets, has literary -exercises, a business meeting, and gives a $50 cash prize to -that member of the class of ’83 who has the best record; its -members exchange greeting, vow new devotion to their <i lang="la" xml:lang="la">Alma Mater</i>, -pronounce a benediction upon her, and then go their ways for -another year of honest work in behalf of less favored humanity.</p> - -<p>Referring to our visitors the <cite>New Era</cite> has the following:</p> - -<p>“During the exercises of the week, a number of prominent white -citizens were in attendance and evinced genuine interest in the -proceedings. It is very gratifying to see this attention on the -part of the white element. It betokens a hopeful outlook. And why -should there not be the pleasantest relations between all good -citizens? We are all destined to dwell together. The quicker, under -reasonable progress, that the past is forgotten, the better for -all.

Dana Sherrill -preached a sermon to the members of the graduating class, taking -for his text Phil. iii., 13, 14. Gathering up the lessons learned, -but forgetting past attainments, they should be ever striving for -something better beyond. The kind, practical counsel found, at -least, attentive listeners. Said one graduate: “That was our New -Year’s motto. I shall never forget it now.”</p> - -<p>A new feature of our anniversary exercises was a juvenile concert. -On Monday night a goodly company gathered in our chapel. One -hundred and forty children greeted them with a song. The choruses -were rendered with enthusiasm. Of<a class="pagenum" name="Page_238" id="Page_238">[238]</a> particular interest were the -solos and action songs by the little Primaries. A solo, “I’se -gwine to Alabama,” given by one of the older boys, was thoroughly -enjoyed. The net sum of $32.00 was raised for the increase of our -library fund.</p> - -<p>It was interesting to watch the delighted parents during the -sociability of the “breaking up.”</p> - -<p>Wednesday came, with clouds in the morning, and at the hour -appointed for the public exercises, rain falling in torrents. Yet -nearly every child was in place, and extra chairs were brought for -the gathered spectators. The exercises consisted of recitations, -dialogues and songs. As the children performed the parts assigned -each, I did not wonder that both teachers and mothers “felt proud.” -An invitation to examine work done by members of the sewing class -was generally accepted, giving the happy parents fresh cause for -pride.</p> - -<p>We decided to hold our graduating exercises on Wednesday evening. -At an early hour every seat was taken, while numbers were standing -in the aisles and halls. Girls in pretty white dresses and boys -in fresh spring suits, march in and take seats reserved. A sweet -song by the girls opened the exercises. Prayer was offered and -the Lord’s Prayer chanted. Reading, declamations and recitations -followed. Conversation between several girls concerning their plans -for life brought “sincerity,” a fairy, into their midst. Her waving -banner proclaimed to each the simple words, “Be true.”</p> - -<p>The graduates read their essays and received their diplomas, -accompanied by kind words from the Superintendent. Mr. S., rising, -called to him a boy of fifteen years and said: “A scholarship -was offered to the one who should excel in general scholarship, -punctuality and deportment. I hold in my hand a paper stating that -you, having done this, are entitled to the same.” Amid hearty -applause the gift was received with smiles and thanks.</p> - -<p>A few words from Mr. Callen, a colored preacher, and one of our -pupils; a parting song, a gathering in the school-room for the -“good-night,” and then we said good-by.</p> -</div> - -<div class="article"> -<h3>BREWER NORMAL INSTITUTE.</h3> - -<p class="secauth">REV.

The following, clipped from the above-named journal, -written by this gentleman, will explain the sentiments of the -citizens here toward our work:</p> - -<a class="pagenum" name="Page_240" id="Page_240">[240]</a> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 500px;"> -<img src="images/plantation.jpg" width="500" height="349" alt="" /> -<div class="center">A COTTON PLANTATION.</div> -</div> - -<a class="pagenum" name="Page_241" id="Page_241">[241]</a> - -<p>“Prof. Foster (colored) and his wife, formerly of Little Rock, -have just closed a nine months’ school at the brick school-house -in the northeast part of Fayetteville.

I had had no experience, -no business experience, or any but in the ministry; but I was sure -of one thing, that good, honest, persistent effort would bring good -results. I had heard about many of the iniquities and shortcomings -of agents. My friends warned me against the position. I knew that -the name of Indian agent had become almost a synonym of rascal or -cheat. I felt, however, that it was a position a man could fill -with honesty and integrity and good results. So I went to work.</p> - -<p>I was horrified at the state of things I found. For many years -an agency had been established; thousands of dollars had been -expended; a great many men had been employed. But I saw that the -Indians were discouraged, doing nothing, sulky and averse to -effort. I arrived at the agency early in April, and found that the -fields had been left for a year untilled and in a filthy condition. -I had had early experience as a farmer. I called the Indians -together, and told them they must clean their fields. They said -they had no teams or ploughs. I asked if they couldn’t at least -clean them up? They said yes. I told them to begin and I’d see -what I could do for them, but there was no time to lose. They said -they would start to-morrow. The next morning I was waked by loud -talking. I looked out and saw at least fifty women with hoes, axes -and shovels on their shoulders—not a man among them. I took an -interpreter and went out to them. They said they had come to clean -the fields. I said that was good, but I hadn’t sent for them, but -for the men. They laughed at that idea—it was a novelty. I told -them the men must come, gave them some good advice on household -work for women—on which I am well posted—and sent them home. They -went their way, and that was the end of the work. I couldn’t get an -Indian man out that time. I was puzzled what<a class="pagenum" name="Page_242" id="Page_242">[242]</a> to do next. I went -out to the fields with the interpreter, and we did find one old -man who had gone to work. I told him to go on, and I’d plow what -he would clean up, which I did. This encouraged one and another by -degrees, with the gift of extra rations, and so at last we got the -fields cleaned and planted.</p> - -<p>The first year, though, was very trying, owing to my ignorance -of the Indian character. I spoke to them as I would to any one -else about truth and duty, etc., but met constant, persistent -opposition. I was wearied to death with their councils. Fifty to a -hundred great stalwart Indians would walk into my office, sit down -on the floor, and begin to smoke. Then I would wait with patience -till one of them would rise and make their wants known, and I -would answer them. But everything I proposed they would oppose, -for some reason I did not understand. They would tell me my words -were sweet, but that like all other white men, I was a liar. So it -went on for a year. It was rather hard to take their plain talk, -especially as I am somewhat of a muscular Christian. I gave them, -however, as good, plain talk as they sent, and let them understand -what I thought of them.</p> - -<p>But at the end of a year I thought I might as well give it up. I -wrote to my friends that I thought of resigning. Then I called -the Indians to a last council. I told them what I felt, why I -came, what I had endeavored to do. I spoke feelingly. When I had -finished, an old chief, “Struck by the Ree,” got up and said: “We -have listened to your words for a year. We have now come to the -conclusion that we will both listen and obey. We had been told that -you were not a good man. Many of us believed what we heard, but you -have convinced us that you are good, and we will obey you.”</p> - -<p>Well I stayed, and I had no more trouble, except such as was -unavoidable. The councils were more and more pleasant. I never had -a rude or disagreeable word from them again. They would sometimes -disagree with me, but generally took my advice, and were always -courteous.</p> - -<p>I laid before them first this plan. I told them that rations and -aid from government are only temporary. They will come to an end. -They are given to aid them to be self-supporting. I told them I had -come to help them to become so. They were not much interested in -that idea at first, but as continued dropping wears away the rock, -my words from day to day had some effect, and here and there I saw -some improvement.</p> - -<p>I found all the work at the agency done by whites—only two Indians -employed out of 2,000 Sioux at the station. I employed the Indians -as fast as possible to give them work. I put one boy in the -blacksmith shop, another with the carpenter, another in the mill, -two or three with the agency farmer, two in the butcher house, and -to help issue rations. When I came there I found the cattle were -slaughtered in a brutal manner, shot in a filthy yard, where the -Indians dressed the meat in a careless, unclean way. I applied for -a slaughter-house, cattle-pens and a proper butcher, and got them. -I put my Indian boys with him, as I said, and at the end of a month -they could take hold and do the work properly themselves, and did -it so six years. The beef was issued clean.</p> - -<p>The system of employing Indians and encouraging industry was -pleasing. They were glad to see their young men employed; they were -willing to go to work when there was any encouragement to do so.</p> - -<p>I had several thousand bushels of wheat to harvest. I succeeded in -getting the ground broken, the crop cultivated, the wheat ground -and eaten up, too. While they were threshing one hot day, some of -the Indians gave out. They sent me word from the field that two -more men were needed. I went out on my horse and looked about, -but couldn’t see an Indian anywhere but in the field. I rode to -the trader’s store, and there I found a young Indian <em>gentleman</em>, -gotten up in<a class="pagenum" name="Page_243" id="Page_243">[243]</a> fine style, with red blanket, embroidered leggings -and moccasins, looking glass and fan; face painted, hair braided -and ornamented with feathers—“a fancy buck,” so they say out on -the frontier. I went up to him, laid my hand on his shoulder, and -said, “Friend, I want you.” He looked up with an independent air, -and said, “How!” I told him to get on his horse and follow me, -which he did. I took him into the field and up to the threshing -machine, and told the interpreter to tell him I wanted him to work -and would pay him so much. The Indian boys around laughed. I told -them to be quiet. He said “How,” and went at it. The only vacant -place at the machine was where the chaff and dust comes pouring -out—not an agreeable place for him—pouring out on his paint and -oil. He never had a pitchfork in his hands before, but he went to -work manfully. Pretty soon off came his red blanket; then off came -the paint itself in streaks. Piece by piece came off the rest of -his toggery, till the Indian was an Indian but not much besides. -But he stuck to that pitchfork. I watched him; if he had given out -I would have taken his place; but there was no give out to him; he -worked right on for three days; at the end of the time his delicate -hands were all bleeding.</p> - -<p>That shows the pluck of the Indian. I have had other employés, who -had never done a thing before in the way of labor, work till the -blood ran down their hands. This one was, of course, a remarkable -case. But I have had Indians who labored for me industriously for -eight years without ever losing one day.</p> - -<p>It was difficult to get them to save their wages. I finally adopted -a system of banking for them. They let me lay aside their wages -till the end of the quarter. Then we talked over the question what -they had better buy, and under my advice they generally spent their -money in useful articles, wagons, harness, stoves, furniture, etc.</p> - -<p>I received satisfactory evidence that the Indian can be made a -laboring man, but in order to do it we must pay him good wages to -start with.</p> -</div> - -<hr class="full" /> -<div class="article"> -<h2>THE CHINESE.</h2> - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<h3>MISSION WORK IN MAY.</h3> - -<p class="secauth">REV. W. C. POND, SUPERINTENDENT.</p> - -<p>The dry figures are as follows: Eighteen schools, forty-one -teachers, the number of pupils enrolled, 1,043; the average -attendance (lessened doubtless in San Francisco by the fact that -just now our street lamps are not lighted, and our dark streets -are not viewed by Chinese as conducive to their personal safety), -435. Total number enrolled during the nine months now past, of the -present fiscal year, 2,470. Word came of at least five among the -pupils who, during May, professed to have turned from the worship -of idols, and to have become the followers of Christ. It seems to -me that in several of the schools the interest in spiritual things -is deepening, and that the prospect brightens for a continuous and -large harvest.</p> - -<p>“<span class="smcap">All quiet upon the Potomac.</span>” This proverb, dating back -to the troublous times of 1862, has often risen to my lips, as, -week by week, or day by day, I have asked tidings from our North -School in this city. In April it was established in permanent -quarters, where we believe it will grow to a size, and will cheer -us with a fruitfulness, second only to our central school. But in -almost every locality where we plant a school we are obliged by -passive resistance and patient endurance to “conquer a peace.” -The struggle has been longer and harder than<a class="pagenum" name="Page_244" id="Page_244">[244]</a> usual in our North -School, but it seems to be over, and peace to be won. Our hoodlum -neighbors tried what virtue there was in outcries and in stones -rattling upon the roof and doors and blinds till they could have -been picked up by the bushel, and in various tricks which it would -be a waste of paper to describe, but have retired at last defeated -from the field, and the work moves on undisturbed. We have reason -to speak well of the protection extended us by the police, and to -remember with hearty admiration the heroic lady teacher who was the -principal sufferer and the champion in the fight.</p> - -<p><span class="smcap">A Protest from Oroville.</span>—As the most strenuous efforts -seem unlikely to secure the funds needed in order to continue our -full work, we look about to see where the knife can be applied. -I thought that a vacation would do as little harm at Oroville -as anywhere, and I sent word to close the school from June till -September. The following protest came back signed by sixteen of -the pupils: “Dear pastor.—We heard from you that you told Miss M. -Deuel to close this school at present. We are very sorry, because -this school is doing very well. We would like to understand the -words of truth, but we cannot do it without the teacher’s help. So -we hope you will consent to open this school continually. Some of -the boys just became Christians. If school to be closed seems we -like the sheep without a shepherd; perhaps we going other ways and -fall in the river of death. Or, this Oroville have many precious -souls; if this school to be continue may be other people come to -school and hear who are speak the gospel of Christ and come to him, -that their souls may be save.” They go on to say that they know -that the school cannot but be smaller in summer than in winter, and -that they will try to sustain it without a Chinese helper, but they -cannot bear to have it closed.</p> - -<p>How could I be deaf to such an appeal? I wrote them to do their -utmost to help me by their offerings and their prayers, and the -school should be continued. I confess that I do not know how I am -to maintain so large a work as ours now is, on resources so scanty; -but when souls are asking after God I cannot shut away the only -light that shines upon their path. I must trust God and trust God’s -people, and move on.</p> - -<p><span class="smcap">Letters from Hong Sing.</span>—Hong Sing has been a helper for -four or five years. At present he is stationed at Santa Cruz, -where special interest has existed for some time, and five of the -pupils have been led to Christ. Two recent letters from this helper -<a id="Err_2" name="Err_2"></a>giving accounts of his discussions with the heathen about him have -greatly interested me. They are too long to be inserted here, and I -scarcely know how to condense them without spoiling the charm which -comes from his queer attempts to get the English idioms. But I must -make the endeavor to give one.</p> - -<p>It describes in a pleasant way some of the petty annoyances to -which the Christian brethren are subjected by their heathen -countrymen; annoyances which, he says, make him think of Paul and -the other apostles; “though our trials it is a very trifle thing, -compared with theirs, <em>nothing</em>; yet I am dismayed because I get -impatient with them. I pray that God may open the blind of their -mind that they may see the Salvation of Christ.”</p> - -<p>He then goes on to say: “They argue with me several times, but -every time they get angry, then I stop. * * * They say: ‘You tell -the people must not gamble, not smoke opium, not swear. These -things are very suitable for us. But tell us not worship gods and -our parents when they die, this hurt our heart. You just think your -mother: how much pain when she bear you, and now you grow to be a -man, so you forget and ungrateful. It seem to me you are not come -from your mother but from the mountain bank, so that you will not -honor father and mother. If you were my brother, I would kill you -instantly.’”</p> - -<a class="pagenum" name="Page_245" id="Page_245">[245]</a> - -<p>To all this Hong Sing replied: “Question is now, friends, <em>which -way</em> we ought to honor father and mother, in life time or in death -time, with a kind word or with wrath answer your mother. Mind your -mother is honor or disobey is honor. Suppose when you come to -California your father and mother give you good advice—must not -gamble, not smoke opium, not go among the bad men, not be indolent -but industrious. You just see how many has been gambling, how many -smoke opium and do such evil things. Is this obey parent, honor, -admire? I think not at all. This is disobey, dishonor, ingratitude. -When I was in China I often see and hear of many men has beat -mother with a stick and not like to support her living, but permit -her starve and not let her have good food. But when she die then -you put ten pound pork and chicken and many things set on the -table, ask her to eat. In life time when she can eat and drink, -never buy five cents worth meat. When die, no eat, no drink. So you -will kill a calf, set on a table to ask her to eat and drink. It -is vanity. Our Confucius has said, ‘If any man were good conduct -and endeavor to walk on the wisdom way and good virtue that show to -obey and honor father and mother. Therefore, every man know he is a -good man and understand that he must have had good parents, and he -never said to honor our parents by worshipping them when they die.’” -Other points were made which cannot be reproduced. Under ordinary -circumstances I discourage all debating with the heathen. I advise -our helpers to keep close to their own work, which is to preach the -gospel.</p> -</div> - -<hr class="full" /> -<div class="article"> -<h2>BUREAU OF WOMAN’S WORK.</h2> - -<p class="secauth smcap">Miss D.

Mrs. Leroy Warren -was re-elected president, and measures were adopted providing for -co-operation with the benevolent societies of the Congregational -churches working in this country.

Miss D. E. Emerson -addressed the ladies on the general work of the A. M. A. in the -South. In order to vary the means of raising funds and to awaken -more interest in the churches, a system of rotation of committees -is followed, and a new State Committee was therefore appointed: -Mrs. Hubbard, of Hiram; Miss L.

We have gleaned from -their circular letters in the <cite>Word Carrier</cite> the following extracts -which indicate the importance and success of woman’s work for the -Indians.</p> - -<p>Miss Illsley says: “As each one who writes will naturally tell of -her own work, it becomes my pleasure to speak especially of our -life at the Bird’s Nest. Miss Brown and I think we have seventeen -as interesting little girls to look after as can be. Our oldest -is twelve, and our youngest five years of age. All are doing well -in school. Our little girls love to learn their Bible verses, and -while we teach them the words, we hope and feel that God impresses -the truths on their hearts as we cannot. Many of them say, ‘I am -going to read the Bible to mamma when I go home.’”</p> - -<p>Mrs. Steer writes: “I deem it one of the highest privileges granted -to me in this life to be numbered among the Dakota missionaries, -although with the care of my family I can do but little definite -missionary work. Yet I would be loath to stand as an outsider. God -granting me the strength of body, I hope soon to take a more active -part in this grand work. We have strong evidence that God’s Spirit -is with us at this time, and a number of our young people have -been led to think seriously of their spiritual condition, and have -entered the fold which has Christ for its Shepherd.”</p> - -<p>Miss Voorhees writes: “I have had nineteen boys in my care, until -the Poncas left. Seven are now in bed with the measles. Some of -them are very sick, but all are so patient and obedient that it -makes the work of caring for them comparatively easy. The three -Berthold boys are very interesting, and I think promising boys. -Miss Calhoun, Mrs. Hall’s sister, is associated with me at present. -Though our <a class="pagenum" name="Page_248" id="Page_248">[248]</a>boys are too small to see any decided results just yet, -one of them has expressed a desire to unite with the church.”</p> - -<p>Miss Webb says: “The amount there is to be done and overcome too -often discourages and overwhelms us, and it seems to me in a letter -like this, a few thoughts on points of progress and improvement -may be helpful. There seems to me to have been progress in -spiritual, mental and physical aspects. There is a hidden principle -in our girls to which we can effectually appeal, which has been -developing, and makes dealing with them by force and various -contrived punishments less and less necessary. They are more open -to reason, and are more influenced by kind talks, and a knowledge -of our desires for them. There is not the clannishness among them, -which made it so hard to discipline one, because all would rebel -and side with the erring one. These are a few of the indications -which show the heart is being educated, and the seed is taking -root. There is also more gratitude manifest, more diligence in -study, and more real live interest shown. We hear less frequently, -and more reasonably, ‘give me this or that,’ which seemed to come -so continually, and in such a way as to make us feel all they -thought or cared about was what they could get out of us, and there -is less fault-finding with what they receive. Looking at them in -a physical aspect it would almost seem as if some of them had -new bodies, so much have they improved by their regular life and -habits.”</p> -</div> - -<hr class="full" /> -<div class="article"> -<h2>CHILDREN’S PAGE.</h2> - - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 500px;"> -<img src="images/children.jpg" width="500" height="236" alt="children in curch square" /> -</div> - - -<h3>A LITTLE MERCHANT.</h3> - -<p class="secauth">BY MISS E. E. BACKUP.</p> - -<p>It could hardly be called a village; there were a few houses, a few -stores, and a mammoth hotel. During “the season” all the life of -the place seemed to centre about the hotel. The building covered -considerable space, and two sides were inclosed with glass, which -gave it quite an Oriental air. The hotel was known for miles -around, and when the house was full a pleasurable excitement -pervaded the little hamlet. It extended to the little pickaninnies -who<a class="pagenum" name="Page_249" id="Page_249">[249]</a> rolled and tumbled in the log cabins which dotted the -landscape in every direction as far as the eye could reach. What a -scramble there was to see the gentlemen and ladies as they walked -or drove by, and a party on horseback was a sight sufficiently -imposing to warrant extra efforts.</p> - -<p>To these little folks, who never pored dreamily over enchanting -fairy tales, Denis Hotel was a veritable fairy palace inhabited by -choice fairies from the dim and shadowy Northland, whose pockets -contained a never failing supply of gold. This latter was almost -an article of faith among the youthful colored population of K., -and developed a very large eye for business. The roads swarmed with -colored urchins desirous of selling various wares. One class of -infants had an inexhaustible supply of gourds which they offered -at remarkably low rates to the “Yankee” ladies. Another class of -juveniles was of a geological turn, and enough arrow-heads and -other Indian “remains” were offered for sale to stock several -national museums. Then, when all else failed, there were the sweet -wild flowers which seemed softly to plead for the dark little -fingers which had lovingly brought them forth into the light.</p> - -<p>General Grant was one of the most indefatigable and successful of -the little merchants, as was befitting the namesake of a great -General. Intelligence beamed from the General’s dark face, and -there was no resisting the mute appeal of his large, lustrous eyes.</p> - -<p>“What, more flowers!” we exclaimed, one day, “and jessamine, too! -five cents? Oh, yes, we’ll take them. Really, General, you must be -growing rich.”</p> - -<p>“I does right smart, thank you,” with a smile and a bow, the -graceful native politeness more than atoning for the defective -speech.</p> - -<p>“We rejoice in your success, General,” chimed in Mr. Brown. “Two -or three little rascals have tried to make us believe that their -pennies all went straight into the contribution box. It’s likely we -should believe such nonsense! Now we would just like to know what -you do with your money. Buy candy, I’ll be bound.”</p> - -<p>The large eyes grew a trifle larger as their little owner -unflinchingly encountered Mr. Brown’s steadfast gaze. “We chillens -are mighty fond of candy,” he said, “and it’s seldom we get a bit. -I did buy some candy once for the young uns, but the rest has done -gone for homespun.”</p> - -<p>“What do you do with homespun?”</p> - -<p>“Why, mammy makes dresses for the girls. Sally looked mighty peart -last night when she put on her new dress, and didn’t she dance -’round though,” and the kind eyes grew moist at the recollection.</p> - -<p>“Then you don’t put money in the contribution box?” Mr. Brown -continued.</p> - -<p>“We put a cent in ‘most every Sunday. But we get our Sunday-school -money ‘knocking up Jerusalem.’”</p> - -<p>“The dickens!” exclaimed Mr. Brown, quite forgetting himself, “and -how do you ‘knock up Jerusalem’?”</p> - -<p>“‘Knocking up Jerusalem’ is a song, sir,” our little hero -respectfully replied; “and we shall be right proud to sing it to -you sometime if you’ll come to the cabin. And you ain’t to give us -anything, neither.”</p> - -<p>“We’ll come,” said Mr. Brown. “We want to see Sally’s new gown, and -I wouldn’t fail to hear ‘Knocking up Jerusalem.’”</p> - -<p>We went, according to promise, and were most hospitably received -at the little cabin. We admired Sally’s blue and white homespun, -and when that subject was exhausted we listened to “Knocking up -Jerusalem.” The five children stood in a row with Gen. Grant at -their head, and kept time with their feet as they sang. It was -evidently one of the old-time spiritual songs, a queer mixture, and -we listened with mingled feelings of interest and regret—interest -in the dark, earnest little faces, and the sweet, pathetic strains, -regret at the words and gestures, alike meaningless.</p> - -<p><a class="pagenum" name="Page_250" id="Page_250">[250]</a></p> - -<p>The song ended, we talked of Jesus, and these little ones, ignorant -and untaught, yet knew of Him as the children’s Friend.</p> - -<p>Gen. Grant was actively engaged as long as we remained in K., but -it was slow work after all, and we became so interested in his -unselfish efforts, that we determined to aid him. Enough homespun -for several dresses was privately left at the cabin, together with -a few simple papers and books, of which the cabin was utterly -destitute. The day we left, Gen. Grant was at the station to -present us with a beautiful bouquet, and we almost cried ourselves -as he bade us a tearful good-bye.</p> - -<p>Our chief regret for K. is that we can do so little to improve the -condition of the colored people there. Poor and ignorant, they need -what they have never had, an educated teacher. We wish the A. M. A. -was rich enough to sustain a school in every Southern village.</p> -</div> - -<hr class="full" /> -<div class="article"> -<h2>RECEIPTS FOR JUNE, 1883.</h2> - - -<hr class="chap" /> - - -<table class="receipts"> -<tr><td class="statehead" colspan="2">MAINE, $210.86.</td></tr> - -<tr> -<td class="sub1">Bangor.

R. S. STORRS, D.D.,</p> - -<p class="center medium">Pastor of the Church of the Pilgrims, Brooklyn, N.Y.</p> - -<p class="medium">In addition to the collection of Psalms, this Psalter contains -selections, not only <a id="Err_8" name="Err_8"></a>from the Messianic prophets, but from the -poetry of the Books of Job, from the Proverbs, from Ecclesiastes, -and one or two from the Book of Revelations. The following order of -arrangement has been adopted, viz.:</p> - - -<p class="medium center">THE PSALMS.</p> - -<p class="medium">I.—The Preparation of the Spirit for Divine Worship. II.—The -worship of God for His goodness and majesty. III.—The worship -of God for the <a id="Err_9" name="Err_9"></a>Kingship of His Son. IV.—The worship of God as -defender of His people. V.—The worship of God as Judge on the -earth. VII.—The worship of God for the teaching of His Word. -VII.—Supplication to God for deliverance and favor.</p> - - -<p class="medium center">OTHER SELECTIONS.</p> - -<p class="medium">VIII.—Praise to God for His greatness. IX.—God’s purposes -concerning Christ and the Church. X.—The briefness of man’s life. -XI.—The excellence of wisdom. XII.—The glory of the heavenly life.</p> - -<p class="medium">This edition of the Psalter has been awaited with much interest, -and the knowledge that Dr. Storrs was engaged upon it has given -general satisfaction. The previous work has had a successful life, -having been instrumental, as the pioneer Psalter, in awakening -widespread interest in responsive reading. There were necessarily -some changes to be made in that edition which long use and -experience have suggested. More changes are made in this edition, -and we now have such a Psalter as will fully meet the requirements -of all non-Episcopal churches. It is needless to say that Dr. -Storrs is more eminently fitted to the work of preparing the -Psalter than most men, and the work will undoubtedly be accepted as -the general standard.</p> - -<p class="medium">The work is furnished for introduction at low rates. Churches using -the old edition may exchange for the new on favorable terms.</p> - -<p class="medium">A specimen copy will be sent, postpaid, for examination, to any -address, on receipt of 75 cents. Address the publishers.</p> - -<hr class="tiny" /> - - -<p class="center xlarge">DR. JOSEPH P. HOLBROOK</p> - -<p class="medium">is by general consent in the front rank to-day of composers -of church music. He is the Musical Editor of “The Songs for -the Church,” “Songs for the Sanctuary,” “Baptist Praise Book,” -“Methodist Hymnal,” “Part Songs,” “Quartet and Chorus Choir,” etc., -etc.</p> - -<p class="medium">Holbrook’s tunes have thus become wedded to many, if not most, of -the acceptable hymns now sung. Compilers of hymn and tune books -are eager to secure these tunes, as they find that no book can be -said to be complete without them. Many of Holbrook’s latest tunes -are, however, the best he has made, and he has recently issued a -new book embodying them all, together with a fine collection of the -best English and American tunes. The</p> - - -<p class="xlarge center">Worship in Song</p> - -<p class="medium">contains 700 choice hymns and 500 tunes. In the selection of -hymns Dr. Holbrook has had the colaboration of several eminent -hymnologists, and on account of them alone the book will be found -to be the most acceptable yet published.</p> - -<p class="medium">The book has been adopted by Presbyterian and Congregational -churches east and west, and adds greatly to the interest in the -worship wherever used. A prominent clergyman in Connecticut says: -“I am much interested in Mr. Holbrook’s book. We use it daily and -enjoy it. I have always thought the success of ‘Songs for the -Sanctuary’ was more due to the musical editing than to anything -else.”</p> - -<p class="medium">For specimen copies, price post-paid $1.25, which may be returned -after examination, if desired.

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/61019-h/images/atlantau.jpg b/old/61019-h/images/atlantau.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 1d337ec..0000000 --- a/old/61019-h/images/atlantau.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/61019-h/images/children.jpg b/old/61019-h/images/children.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 08d8e05..0000000 --- a/old/61019-h/images/children.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/61019-h/images/cottonfield.jpg b/old/61019-h/images/cottonfield.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 3db77a1..0000000 --- a/old/61019-h/images/cottonfield.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/61019-h/images/cover.jpg b/old/61019-h/images/cover.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 8116f78..0000000 --- a/old/61019-h/images/cover.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/61019-h/images/dictionary.jpg b/old/61019-h/images/dictionary.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index a8ebd9f..0000000 --- a/old/61019-h/images/dictionary.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/61019-h/images/estey.jpg b/old/61019-h/images/estey.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 2c92cc6..0000000 --- a/old/61019-h/images/estey.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/61019-h/images/finger.jpg b/old/61019-h/images/finger.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 6206c17..0000000 --- a/old/61019-h/images/finger.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/61019-h/images/header.jpg b/old/61019-h/images/header.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index ba30bdf..0000000 --- a/old/61019-h/images/header.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/61019-h/images/house.jpg b/old/61019-h/images/house.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index eb326f7..0000000 --- a/old/61019-h/images/house.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/61019-h/images/lamblogo.jpg b/old/61019-h/images/lamblogo.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 72f30cc..0000000 --- a/old/61019-h/images/lamblogo.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/61019-h/images/lamp.jpg b/old/61019-h/images/lamp.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 140e780..0000000 --- a/old/61019-h/images/lamp.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/61019-h/images/pearlteeth.jpg b/old/61019-h/images/pearlteeth.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 771bee6..0000000 --- a/old/61019-h/images/pearlteeth.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/61019-h/images/plantation.jpg b/old/61019-h/images/plantation.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index d5a2cb8..0000000 --- a/old/61019-h/images/plantation.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/61019-h/images/pointer.jpg b/old/61019-h/images/pointer.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index d06cf3c..0000000 --- a/old/61019-h/images/pointer.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/61019-h/images/risingsun.jpg b/old/61019-h/images/risingsun.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 8a8b9bc..0000000 --- a/old/61019-h/images/risingsun.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/61019-h/images/rumsford.jpg b/old/61019-h/images/rumsford.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 19a8017..0000000 --- a/old/61019-h/images/rumsford.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/61019-h/images/smith.jpg b/old/61019-h/images/smith.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index f01f950..0000000 --- a/old/61019-h/images/smith.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/61019-h/images/stars.jpg b/old/61019-h/images/stars.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index d64bc92..0000000 --- a/old/61019-h/images/stars.jpg +++ /dev/null diff --git a/old/61019-h/images/watch.jpg b/old/61019-h/images/watch.jpg Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 82dbf04..0000000 --- a/old/61019-h/images/watch.jpg +++ /dev/null |
