We hope to be able to -announce through the religious press and otherwise, in good season, -such particulars relating to speakers and accommodations as will be -of interest to our readers. For the present we refer them to the -announcement on the 4th page cover of this MISSIONARY. - - * * * * * - - -GOOD AS THREE WEEKS REVIVAL. - -The value of the annual meetings of our great missionary societies -is not measured chiefly by the amount of business transacted, -important and necessary as that is. The information imparted might -be gathered otherwise, but the full benefit to mind and heart can -only be had by participating in the devotions, the instructions in -righteousness, and, indeed, the arousements that are found among -the vast throng that assemble on these occasions. Dr. Withrow said, -at the Saratoga meeting of the Home Missionary Society: “These -three days are worth as much as three weeks revival in giving -a spiritual uplift to the churches.” We believe this to be no -extravagant assertion. Great religious gatherings of some sort have -been common from time immemorial. These have varied according to -the developments of the age. - -The problem of the church to-day is the world’s conversion. All -other questions are but side issues. The wonderful developments -of our modern civilization have been preparatory. They have made -it possible for the church to make rapid strides in hastening the -triumphs of the Redeemer’s kingdom. The facilities are ready. -Young men and women with trained faculties for the work are being -graduated from our schools of learning by the thousands. Nothing -is lacking but the disposition—the mind to work. The chief value of -these meetings is seen in their potency to impart this disposition. - -It is not many years since there was but one truly great and grand -distinctively missionary annual meeting in our land—the meeting -of the American Board. Then there came well up to the front the -annual meetings of the American Missionary Association, and latest, -the meeting of the Home Missionary Society, which, in point of -attendance from abroad, possibly, outnumbered any one ever held by -the Congregational brethren. Other denominations are progressing in -this direction. There is a wonderfully encouraging development all -along the line. The morning cometh; they who turn their thoughts -to our great missionary enterprises are looking toward it, and not -toward yesterday morning, as men blinded by misbelief continually -look. - -We call the attention of our readers to the fact that two of these -great annual meetings convene in October, and we trust that but -few obstacles will be deemed so weighty as to interfere with their -attendance. - - * * * * * - -THE demand for Our Temperance Concert Exercise, issued in the -May MISSIONARY, and also in circular form, has been steady and -encouraging. It was recently used in the First Church, Greenwich, -Conn., with gratifying success. Some features were introduced by -the pastor, Rev. Mr. Kellogg, not contemplated in the preparation -of the exercise. Selections were made from the communications on -temperance published in the same number of the MISSIONARY, and read -by different individuals. Words were adapted to Jubilee Songs, -giving a pleasing variety, and recitations introduced in addition -to, and in place of, those given in the paper. We again call the -attention of our friends to this Concert Exercise, with reference -to its use. - - * * * * * - -REV. STEPHEN R. RIGGS, D.D., LL. D., missionary to the American -Indians for forty years, died at the age of 71, at Beloit, Wis., -in August. Like Livingstone, in early life, he was desirous of -becoming a missionary to China, but yielded to what he considered -the overrulings of Providence, and in 1837, with his wife, -went into the far Northwest among the Sioux. He reduced their -language to writing, compiled a dictionary and translated the -Holy Scriptures and hymns. Ten well-ordered churches and many -out-stations were established in the region of his operations, -reaching beyond the British line. - -As an author, he did good service. His book, “_Mary and I—Forty -Years with the Sioux_,” has magnified the significance of Indian -missions. Another book, “_Gospel Among the Dakotas_,” portrays -vividly scenes of pioneer life. His memorial of Dr. Williamson is a -tribute worthy of the man and his successful efforts in behalf of -the Indians. Four of his children have labored among the Sioux, and -one of his daughters has entered upon work across the Pacific. Rev. -Alfred L. Riggs, principal of our school at Santee, and Thomas L. -Riggs, of Fort Sally, and Mrs. Martha Riggs Morris, at the Sisseton -agency, are carrying on the work so happily inaugurated by their -father. His life was one of incessant missionary toil, in which for -years he had been aided by his children, and to whom he bequeathed -its continuance, and in the midst of whom he passed from earth to -his reward on high. - - * * * * * - - -OUR INDIAN WORK. - -Never was there a more favorable time for enlargement on our -part. The new impulse to the general cause by General Grant’s -peace policy, augmented by the success of the schools at Hampton -and Carlisle, will be still more accelerated by the schools soon -to be completed by the Government at Chilloco, Indian Territory; -Lawrence, Kansas; and Genoa, Neb. When these are finished and -filled, the Indian schools throughout the country will accommodate -10,250 pupils of the 40,000 school population of the Indians at the -present time. Sec. Teller may be too sanguine in the expectation -that with adequate means the Indian problem will not be heard of in -the next generation, but never before could such a prediction come -so near being true. At all events, the nation and the Government -are fully aroused, and it becomes the American Missionary -Association to bestir itself to do its part. This Association -has now the responsibility of doing the Indian work for the -Congregational churches, the American Board having transferred to -it the whole of its Indian missions. A delegation of the Executive -Committee of the Association, consisting of Rev. W. H. Ward, D.D., -Rev. Addison P. Foster, Charles L. Mead, Esq., and the Secretary, -made recently a thorough inspection of all the schools and missions -with very favorable impressions, a report of which follows. - -Enlargement is imperatively needed in three directions, in addition -to the $20,000 for the current work: - -1. At the old and well-established mission at the Santee Agency, -Nebraska, Rev. A. L. Riggs thus details the immediate wants of -that station: additional industrial accommodations; extension of -carpenter shop, $250; blacksmith shop, with five forges, $750; -outfit of tools for the same, $150; general dining hall for -200 boarders, with laundry rooms, $5,000; outfit for the same, -including heating arrangements, kitchen ranges, laundry apparatus, -$1,500; making in all $7,650. Boarding-school house for girls at -Oahe, Fort Sully, $2,500. - -2. New mission stations and schools among the Indians now -unsupplied. Three station buildings for native teachers on the -Cheyenne River, $1,000; missionary’s house at Cherry Creek, -Cheyenne River, $1,500; mission among the Crows, $2,000. - -We invite the friends of Indian progress to select from the items -above given in both fields of enlargement the specific object for -completing which they will aid us in whole or in part. - -3. An agricultural, mechanical and Normal School, to be founded -perhaps somewhere in Peoria Bottom, a new Hampton located on the -border, with the white man’s civilization on one hand and the -Indian reservations close on the other. This, though it is an -urgent want and essential to the filling out of our general plan, -must await the careful search for a fitting location and the means -to give it a suitable inauguration. - -Where shall the work be done for the Indian? One successful -teacher in Indian schools says that the children should all be -brought East, and trained amid the white man’s civilization; -another gentleman, long connected with a Mission Board, holds -that the education should be given wholly among the tribes, so -that the pupils would be trained amid their people and not away -from sympathy with them. We believe _both_ methods are necessary. -The youth trained at home elevates his people as he rises, and -is himself strengthened and helped by his friends who come from -the East with the higher touch of the white man’s culture. Our -schools and missions, those now in progress and the one proposed, -afford the advantages of both plans. We shall aim to combine the -industrial, normal and religious training so as to fit the pupils, -male and female, for the practical duties of life in the field, the -shop and the home, in the school room, in the pulpit and the church. - -We have undertaken much. The hour has come for it, and we know that -the friends of the Indian will not suffer us to fail for want of -means. - - * * * * * - - -A VISIT TO THE DAKOTA MISSION. - -REV. ADDISON P. FOSTER. - -The transfer by the American Board of its Missions among the -Dakota Indians to the American Missionary Association made it -desirable that some of the officers of the Association should -acquaint themselves personally with the work. Accordingly, Rev. -M. E. Strieby, D.D., Secretary of the Association, and Rev. Wm. -Hayes Ward, D.D., of the _Independent_, C. L. Mead, Esq., and -your correspondent, all members of the Executive Committee, met -by appointment at the Santee Agency. Three of the party then -visited the mission station at Oahe, D.T., connected with the -Cheyenne Agency, where the party divided, Dr. Strieby returning -by way of the Sisseton Agency, Dr. Ward and Mr. Foster, under the -leadership of Rev. Thomas L. Riggs, the efficient missionary, -entering the great Sioux Reservation and traveling in an open wagon -between three and four hundred miles, mostly in Indian country. -This last-named expedition had not a little of excitement and -adventure. Camping out at night, fording swollen streams, sleeping -in an Indian wigwam, driving across trackless prairies by the -aid of a compass, running the divides, killing a rattlesnake, -preaching to the wild Indians through an interpreter, spending days -in Indian villages, where hideous heathen mummeries were in full -view, visiting the Indians’ strange earth-built lodges, and their -offensive scaffold burying grounds, we passed through a series of -experiences not soon to be forgotten. - -The American Missionary Association has become possessor of three -considerable mission stations among the Indians, in or near Dakota -Territory. At the Santee Agency, which is just across the Missouri -in Nebraska, about thirty miles up the river from Yankton, is a -large and very successful school, a church of Indians with an -Indian pastor, and one out-station with an immediate prospect -of a second. This school and mission work are under the general -superintendence of Rev. Alfred L. Riggs. The children in the -school come not only from the Santees on the Agency, but from long -distances, from the Sisseton Agency, Fort Berthold and Montana. -We were greatly pleased with the intelligence, the neatness and -Christian spirit of these students. They will certainly compare -favorably in every way with the bright young Indians we have seen -at Hampton. - -Oahe is the centre of a wide evangelistic work, which has been -organized and is carried on with great energy and success by Rev. -Thomas L. Riggs. At Oahe itself is a mission home, a neat chapel, -also used as a school-house, and three miles away, a second -school-house. A native church is organized here, ministered to most -acceptably by Yellow Hawk, an exemplary and industrious Indian. -We were specially interested in a prayer meeting of Indian women, -which was fully attended and heartily sustained. Oahe is on the -east side of the Missouri, where a considerable number of Indians -have given up their tribal relations, taken up land in severalty, -and become voting citizens of the United States. Immediately -across the river is the Sioux Reservation. This is greatly cut -up by sizable streams which flow down from the Black Hills. On -every stream are extensive and very fertile bottom-lands. Here -the Indians are located, living mostly in tents, but some in log -houses. They are chiefly wild Indians, only a few years since being -on the war-path, mainly different sections of Sitting Bull’s band. -They still wear blankets, and are gaudy in bead-work, and paint -and feathers. But they are now in wholesome fear of the government -and, better still, are anxious to be as white men. Mr. Riggs has -established four stations in Indian villages on the Cheyenne River, -and a fifth on the Grand River. At three of these stations there -is preaching by native pastors, Solomon Martun (or Bear’s Ear), -Isaac Renville and Edward Phelps, by name; at the other places are -schools. The mission at Ft. Berthold is among the Rees, Mandans -and Gros Ventres. These three small tribes long since combined -in one village for protection against their ancient foes, the -Sioux. Rev. C. L. Hall is the missionary here. A mission home and -a chapel are the buildings, both in excellent condition. The work -at this mission is slow in developing results, not from any lack -of faithfulness or adaptation on the part of the missionaries, -for their consecration and fitness are marked, but because these -Indians by their tribal divisions are jealous of one another, and -by their contact in the past with white men of bad character are -corrupt and hard to reach. Mr. Hall has an out-station in his care -at Devil’s Lake, where Rev. David Hopkins, a Sisseton Indian, is -laboring. - - THE ADVANCE. - - * * * * * - - -THE RELATIONS OF THE CHURCH TO THE COLORED RACE. - -BY REV. LEWIS GROUT. - -Rev. Dr. J. L. Tucker’s speech on the above subject before the -Episcopal Church Congress, in Richmond, last October, has had -a very emphatic indorsement from professional and other men in -the South, and yet not without severe criticism from some of the -colored people, especially in Jackson, Miss., the home of Dr. -Tucker, where he made the speech. It seems that Dr. Tucker is a -man of Northern birth, that he was a soldier in the Confederate -army, after which he became a planter, then a rector, and that -he has had much experience and interest in the education of the -colored race, as planter, teacher and minister. And yet, with all -his acquaintance with that race, there are several important points -pertaining to their history, character and welfare, in which he is -sadly mistaken. - -The first mistake of his that I will notice has respect to the -character of the native African. In Africa, he says, “human life -has no sacredness, and men, women and children are slain as beasts -are, and even more carelessly, as less valuable. Human suffering -excites no pity, and blood flows like water.” “That what we call -morality, whether in the relations of the sexes, or in the sense of -truthfulness, or in the sense of honesty, has no lodgment whatever -in the native African’s breast;” and that they have “no words” for -gratitude, generosity, industry, truthfulness, honesty, modesty, -gentleness and virtue, because they have none of these ideas. -Now all this, and much more of the same sort, is the baldest of -hyperbole, far from the truth. During my fifteen years of labor in -that land, I made the study of African character and language a -specialty; and I believe that words representing the ideas above -named may be found in every language and dialect on the continent. -As to humanity and all kindred virtues, they are abreast, if not -ahead, of any and every other people that have not had the gospel. -For honesty and morality, under pure native rule, in many respects, -the Zulus and cognate tribes would put to shame the people in every -part of this land of ours. I have no reason to believe that I -ever lost a sixpence worth of anything, through their stealing, -in all those fifteen years of my stay among them; and as to the -relations of the sexes, I believe there are ten illegitimate births -here in New England to-day, where there was ever one in Zululand -previous to the incoming of the Dutch and English. To be sure, all -African tribes may not be abreast of what the Zulus used to be, in -these things. And yet Rev. Dr. Crummell, for many years a college -professor and rector of a parish in Liberia, says: “All along the -west coast of Africa the family tie and the marriage bond are as -strong as among any _primitive_ people.” “Their maidenly virtue, -the instinct to chastity, is a marvel.” - -2. Dr. Tucker says the colored people of the South are grossly -immoral. If he had made a very deserved exception of the many -who have been brought under the restraints of the gospel by good -mission work among them, within a few years, his charge would -have been more just. But whence came the great excess in vice -which he avers? Could anything else have been expected from long -generations of the peculiar training their bondage gave them? Under -the treatment they had, as Dr. Tucker says, “they quickly learned -to conceal,” “learned lying, stealing and adultery.” By a somewhat -minute detail, he shows how the familiarity and “the intrigues -which the white men” had with the black women wrought in them, as -he says, “the utter destruction of the very sense of virtue.” - -3. Dr. Tucker says nothing of importance has been accomplished by -Northern benevolence for the colored people, except to make them -worse—to “build strongholds for the devil in disguise,” to “build -up the kingdom of evil.” Now all this, in which his speech abounds, -I repudiate as false and slanderous. In the course of forty years -I have seen a good deal of mission work, of one kind and another, -at home and abroad, and under the auspices of almost every society -in the world. I have also seen the work of the American Missionary -Association among the Freedmen; and, as the result of all, I am -free to say, I believe Dr. Tucker may go the world over, time -through, ransack all history, and not be able to point to a time or -place where mission work and money have done more, in proportion to -the means employed, than has been done by this Association among -the colored people since their emancipation, two decades since. - -4. Dr. Tucker alleges that Northern missionaries are incompetent, -“don’t know what they are about,” or “how to reach the colored -people,” or “how to deal with them,” “barely know a Negro when they -see him.” Well, I am told there are some white people in the South, -who, themselves “don’t know a Negro when they see him,” in some -cases only as they trace his genealogy and find out who his mother -was. But how should Dr. Tucker, himself, be able to know all about -this matter, how to reach the colored people, how to lift them up, -how to heal them, better than other men of Northern birth? - -5. The counterpart of the above charge is, that the Southern whites -are the “only ones” who know how to do good mission work for the -colored race, and that we of the North must put all our money into -their “control.” But what have they ever done to prove such special -fitness to inspire the Negro with confidence in their teaching and -treatment, to prove their own faith in his capacity for a high -order of improvement, to encourage us to put “every dollar” of our -mission money into their hands? Why, after they had had the black -man in their own special teaching and treatment for more than two -centuries, utterly dissevered from pagan Africa, all plastic, -docile and confined, as he was, to their exclusive training, has -his original heathenism been so little improved as to leave the -Negro no better than Dr. Tucker represents him to be. And even now, -what great effort have they made for his improvement in the two -decades that have passed since his emancipation? - -Another mistake I find in Dr. Tucker’s speech, the greatest and -most fatal of all, and the last I will notice, is his color line -“plan” for all educational and religious work in the South—a school -and a church on this side of the street for the whites, a school -and a church on that side for the blacks—a double system, with, as -he says, “double the expense.” But neither a system such as that, -nor the spirit that desires or prompts it, will have any place on -earth when the gospel of Christ gets a proper ascendency in the -hearts and lives of men. - - * * * * * - -WE have issued Pamphlet No. 8, on _The Reflex Influence of the -Work of the American Missionary Association_, an address delivered -in Tremont Temple by Rev.

It has a logical arrangement, which will -be of constant advantage in the use of it, though those who have it -may not know just how the logic comes in, even as the perfection of -the art of elocution is to conceal the art.

Perhaps chop little wood for house, or wash him -clothes; but no go work. No matter poor, every one no work on -Sunday. Before, all worship idols. Now, many come to church; he no -worship idols. When Lee Wah begin to read, good many had idols in -house; thirty more. Myself had one. Now, only ten houses and stores -in New-Bendigo with idols in them. Before, at old township, good -many Chinese steal fowls, everything. Now, no more steal; every one -work; go get job. Before, every night, Chinaman learn to practice -fight. I tell him too stupid fellow. You learn God’s Word you no -want to fight. Now, no more learn to fight. Learn God’s Word. -Before people no care for God’s Word; he no know or care. Now, good -many people like read God’s Word. Before, too much time, nothing to -do. Now, many say I learn to read God’s Word. Now, no more waste -time. I like to read. Before, good many make fun God’s Word; laugh. -Papers were put upon outside of store, make laugh at Christian. -Papers were put up on door of baptized men’s house. Now, heathen -men no more make fun; strong man’s hands tied up. Himself like it -now. Very quiet now. - - * * * * * - - -REFLEX INFLUENCE OF A. M. A. - -FROM ADDRESS BY REV. S. L. BLAKE, D.D. - -The direct increase to the wealth of the country, in diminishing -the number of mere consumers, and increasing the number of actual -producers and property-holders, puts the business world largely in -debt to this society. - -A few figures will help your understanding of the case. In -twenty-one years this society has spent $5,543,636.03—a yearly -average of $263,772.19. In seventeen years, from 1863 to 1880, -from not owning a single dollar’s worth of property of any sort -available for taxation, these people have come to hold property -taxed for $100,000,000, as appears from Southern tax-bills, which -show no respect of color—an average rate of increase from nothing, -of $5,882,352.94 a year. This is a yearly increase greater than -the whole amount spent by this society. That is, this society has -spent $1, and these people, from absolute pauperism, have come into -possession of over $21 of taxable property. These facts answer the -question whether the colored man can take care of himself, and show -that the labors of this society have a cash value which can easily -be computed. - -There is still another phase of the cash value of the labors of -this society, as related to the productive wealth of the country. -Here this society touches and increases our material prosperity. -I refer to a more equable distribution of ownership in the soil. -Surely no one can deny that to change five or six millions of -people from paupers to property-holders, produces a very material -effect upon the prosperity of the State. - -I believe that it is a settled canon of political economy that -a nation’s wealth is in its soil. Where there are but few -land-owners, and the tillers of the soil are tenants, wealth must -be in the hands of the few, and comparative if not absolute poverty -in the hands of the many. To this state of things belong social -classes, as widely separated from each other as continents. It -goes without saying that landed monopoly and general prosperity -of the people do not go together. I am no advocate of communism; -but I take the ground, and I believe it can be held, that the same -amount of property, somewhat evenly distributed among the people of -a country, adds more to its actual productive wealth and material -prosperity, than the same amount of money would do, held in the -hands of a few, who constitute an aristocracy of wealth and of -blood. Of course, in every state, some men must be vastly more -wealthy than others. But a comfortable competence in one’s hands -makes him entirely independent of his more wealthy neighbor. - -It is among the proofs of the increasing material prosperity of -this country, that the average size of farms has decreased from -199 acres in 1860 to 134 acres in 1880; and that the amount of -capital invested in farms exceeds the money invested in railroads, -and in manufacturing, including supplies, by over $2,000,000,000. -Gradually this vast preponderance of wealth is being more equably -distributed among the people. The plantation system, previous to -the war, gives way to the small farm, tilled and owned in many -cases by the former slaves. Take a single case. Liberty County, -Georgia, in 1860, was mostly taken up by large plantations. There -were but 48 farms, “of from three acres to one hundred acres each.” -In 1880 the county was almost entirely owned by colored people, and -there were 1,500 farms. This is an illustration of the yielding of -landed monopoly and aristocracy to popular ownership in the soil, -and to a more general and evenly diffused prosperity. The average -size of farms in fifteen slave States has been reduced from over -368 acres in 1860 to a trifle over 149 acres in 1880, over 50 per -cent. If you precipitate upon the population of a country 1,000,000 -citizens, who may become land-holders, you have struck a heavy blow -at landed monopoly, and taken a long stride toward increase of -material prosperity. - -Let me give you two or three further facts. In 1878 the freedmen -of Prince Edward County, Virginia, owned 2,305 acres of land, -an increase in eight years of 1,847 acres. In the county of -Rockbridge, Virginia, two thousand blacks were assessed for $50,000 -worth of real estate. In 1876 the colored people of Georgia owned -land valued at $1,234,104, and other property to swell the total -to $6,134,829. In the single State of Georgia these people, from -not owning a dollar, have come to possess property greater in value -than the entire sum spent by this Association in 21 years. Who says -that this alabaster box of ointment has been wasted? - -Material prosperity indicates a certain degree of intelligence. The -ignorant are not the wealthy nations of the globe. The work of this -Association in bringing these people up to a degree of intelligence -somewhat commensurate with their opportunities, and in lifting -them to a level of citizenship co-ordinate with the welfare and -prosperity of the State, has directly aided in this increase of the -material forces of the nation’s welfare. For if the actual amount -of property were not increased, yet the prospective wealth of the -nation must be by converting 6,000,000 illiterate paupers into -educated, independent property-holders. - -I find this in the last issue of the _American Missionary_, which -supports my position with high authority: “It has been estimated -at Washington that the annual profit to the country by the -conversion of illiterate into educated labor cannot be less than -$400,000,000.” This work has been done by this Association. - -Money given to the endowment of its institutions at the South would -yield a hundred fold in half a generation. - -[Illustration: WHITE TOP MOUNTAIN, VIRGINIA.] - - * * * * * - - - - -THE SOUTH. - -REV. JOSEPH E. ROY, D.D., FIELD SUPERINTENDENT. - -PROF. ALBERT SALISBURY, SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATION. - - * * * * * - - -NOTES OF AN EDUCATIONAL TOUR IN LOUISIANA AND MISSISSIPPI. - -PRES. W. S. ALEXANDER, D.D. - -An experiment in the form of a brief educational campaign in -Louisiana and Mississippi has been attended with the most -gratifying results, and has been to those identified with it a -revelation of what may be accomplished in the same direction. -Hitherto in our educational work in Louisiana we have depended, so -far as the patronage of the country parishes was concerned, upon -the good reports of the students, and the dawning conception, in -the minds of those living remote from the city, of the necessity -of an education. It occurred to Prof. Hitchcock and myself, as -we were likely to be detained in New Orleans the greater part of -the summer, that we could in no way better serve the interests -of Straight University than by presenting the facts of education -directly to the people, and pleading its claims wherever there -was “an open door.” We not only found doors wide open, but were -greeted from many parishes with the Macedonian cry, “Come over and -help us.” Our University was represented in the most important -centers, either by our graduates or those still upon our roll. -They had borne to their homes a grateful sense of good received at -the school, and entered enthusiastically into the matter of the -meetings. They were our _avant-couriers_, and most faithfully did -they spread the tidings of our coming. - -In the space of a single article we can do little more than -summarize, but we trust our enforced conciseness will not despoil -the narrative of its interest or value. The first important point -made was - - -_Baton Rouge._ - -The meeting on July 5 at the Capital of the State had been well -advertised, and was largely attended. The A. M. E. Church (Rev. -Mr. Jackson, pastor) was well filled. The majority of the audience -were young men, just the class we desired to reach. We had not -only a respectful, but an interested hearing. Mr. A. H. Colwell, -a talented graduate of Straight, who fills an important position -as teacher at Baton Rouge, presided at the organ, and at the -conclusion of the meeting made a neat address, moving a resolution -of thanks to the speakers. Rev. Mr. Jackson spoke with feeling and -intelligent appreciation of the demands of education. The ablest -white lawyer in Baton Rouge made a rousing speech, commending -heartily the objects of the meeting. - - -_Vicksburg._ - -The meeting at this point, July 9th, presents many facts worthy -of record. Our young men, Reynolds and Temple, graduates of the -present year, had been untiring in their efforts to make the -meeting a success. Every newspaper in Vicksburg had noticed it -editorially. Every colored pulpit had twice and thrice advertised -it, and urged the people to attend. Influential white people -had been invited, especially members of the School Board. The -Court-House had been applied for, and freely granted by the City -Council for the purposes of the meeting. On the day previous -(Sunday) it was my privilege to preach in two of the most important -colored churches of the city, while Prof. Hitchcock did good work -in the Sunday-Schools. On Sabbath evening I preached in the A. -M. E. Church (Rev. Mr. Carolina, pastor) to an audience of 800 -people. It was a rare privilege, and great was the joy of preaching -on the blessed religion of the Lord Jesus to so many people, -and all eager and reverent in their attention. On Monday night -the Court-House an imposing building situated on “the heights,” -overlooking the city, and the first object that attracts attention -as the boat enters the harbor, witnessed the gathering of an eager -and crowded assembly of men and women, roused to no common degree -of enthusiasm by the simple announcement of an “_educational -meeting_.” - -The Court-Room, with the wide halls approaching it and the deep -window recesses, was not large enough to accommodate the hundreds -who flocked to it. It was estimated that 800 entered and as many -more failed to get in. An organ had been brought from one of the -churches, a fine choir had been gathered, and very choice music was -rendered. The leading colored clergymen of the city were present. -The addresses which were made were plain matter-of-fact statements -of the nature and demands of education, the widespread illiteracy -of the colored people, the opportunity offered them of improving -their condition mentally, socially, materially and morally, and -the utter impossibility of their ever reaching a higher place in -any department of growth without the guiding and helping hand of -education. Great plainness of speech was used, and was not only -tolerated but approved by the audience. - -_Rev. C. K. Marshall, D.D._, the author of the vigorous and able -pamphlet entitled “The Colored Race Weighed in the Balance,” a -gentleman of great influence in Mississippi, kindly called upon us -at the hotel, and not only was present at the meeting, but made -an eloquent and telling address, replete with good points. He has -always been a friend of the colored race, and they do not forget -it now. Rev. Dr. Woodworth, of the M. E. Church South, and Hon. -Mr. Chamberlin. President of the School Board, were also present, -and spoke kindly words of approval of the objects of the meeting. -The leading paper of Vicksburg devoted a column and a half to a -favorable account of the proceedings. An old colored man, whom I -saw violently gesticulating as I was going down Court-House Hill, -said, “That meeting was worth one million dollars to our people.” -God grant it may be so. - - -_Plaquemine._ - -The crowning meeting of the campaign was in the town of -_Plaquemine, Parish of Iberville_, on Saturday night, July 28th. - -_Hon. T. T. Allain_, one of the most enterprising colored men in -the South, and one of the most consistent friends of education, -took the meeting in hand at the start, and spared neither time nor -money to bring it to the notice of the whole people. This meeting, -in all its appointments, was so unusual that I shall be pardoned -if I describe it quite minutely. We were met by a committee of -reception at the depot, and escorted to the hotel. One hour in -advance of the meeting, a large cannon, planted in the court-house -yard, made a tremendous salute, causing the very village to -tremble. Peal after peal went forth, each seeming louder than the -last. Torches were lighted and planted thickly in the court-yard, -which, by their glare and smoke, gave a weird look to the hundreds -of dusky faces gathering around them. A large brass band, with a -full complement of pieces, added to the novelty and effectiveness -of the scene. - -Think of it, dear friends! This was not a political meeting. It was -not a barbecue. It was simply a meeting called in the interests of -education among the colored people of Southern Louisiana, which has -always been regarded a “_pretty dark strip of woods_.” Well, now -for the meeting itself! Mr. Allain gracefully and ably presided, -and made a speech which did credit to his head and heart. For two -hours that densely packed assembly listened to Prof. Hitchcock -and myself with unflagging interest, manifested by frequent -applause. The Court-House and court-yard were filled, and our -audience without and within the building gave us a respectful and -appreciative hearing. Plaquemine has been called the “banner” town. -_We_ certainly have no desire to dispute her claim to the honorable -distinction, for the treatment we received there was “_royal_.” - -The meeting at _Donaldsonville_, July 12th, was a union of the -Baptist and Methodist congregations, and will result, we trust, -in the awakening of a new interest. I should be glad to speak -particularly, had I not reached the limit of my space, of meetings -held by Prof. Hitchcock at West Baton Rouge, St. Sophie, New Texas -and Beauregour, and visits to Monticello, Darrowville, and Point -a la Hache, where many of the families and homes of the students -were seen. Everywhere he was awarded a warm welcome. People rallied -to the meetings, sometimes from a distance of 12 miles. Genuine -enthusiasm was aroused, and the tide of public sentiment has been -turned, we believe, more strongly toward the “_School-House_,” and -that was our only object. The “door of opportunity” is fairly open. -Ought we not to enter it and tell the entire people the glad story -of education? - - * * * * * - - -A WORD FROM TILLOTSON INSTITUTE. - -PRES. W. E. BROOKS, AUSTIN, TEXAS. - -It is due the many donors and friends of Tillotson that a brief -report of the work of the past year be made. It is a pleasure to do -this, both because due and because of the hopeful prosperity which -has attended the institution. - -The land upon which to place the new dormitory and the buildings -for the mechanical department, when funds shall be secured, has -been bought at a cost of $5,000—$1,250 of which was from the Hon. -J. H. Raymond, of Austin. Some progress has also been made in -obtaining subscriptions for the new hall, which is imperatively -needed to meet the pressing demands which are made upon us from all -parts of the State. How urgent this call is may be inferred from -the fact that on the 2d day of last October, one day before the -opening of the school, Allen Hall was full to repletion, and the -work of turning away began, and continued throughout the year, so -that it is safe to say that for every one received one was refused. -We had one hundred in our boarding department during the year. -This necessitated placing four students in the larger rooms, and -three in nearly every other—too many by far, but there seemed to be -no other way. They begged to be received, while the two or three -already in the room, urging us to admit one more, made it difficult -to refuse. Put yourself, dear reader, in our place, and you will -appreciate our condition, and why we allowed this crowding process. -It was the best that could be done under the circumstances. Besides -the one hundred in the boarding department, we had ninety-one day -pupils, making our total attendance during the year 191. We have -no primary department. Our numbers would have been very greatly -increased if we had had the room to store them. - -In educational and religious results the past year has been -our best. More and better work has been done. The training has -been more thorough and systematic, and the real progress more -satisfactory. This was to be expected. Each year increases largely -our own knowledge of the work and how best to do it. - -Our religious services have been more largely attended and richer -in results. A goodly number found Christ, and gave clear evidence -of a change of heart. One in particular, who had been intemperate -and profane to a sad degree, underwent a complete transformation. -Our Sunday school was well attended, drawing in quite a number from -the outside, while our prayer meetings, on Sunday and Thursday -evenings, were pleasant and profitable. - -The temperance society, with a pledge prohibiting the use of both -rum and tobacco, embraced nearly every student of the institution. -They gave evidence that they had joined for life. Many of them are -doing good work in this direction, in the schools where they are -now engaged in teaching. We have reason to feel deeply grateful for -the advancement along the whole line of our threefold yet one work. - -Our closing exercises won the praise of the many who were present. -Among these were Gov. Ireland, ex-Gov. E. M. Pease, Hon. Mr. Swain, -Comptroller of State, Judge Delaney of the Court of Appeals, Prof. -Hogg, at the head of the schools of Fort Worth, and many other -prominent citizens of Austin. - -Able addresses were made by all of the above gentlemen and others; -but among them all none was more cordial and appreciative than that -of Gov. Ireland. He urged the students to continue to press onward -and upward, assuring them that the hour was close at hand when -merit will determine every man’s position, and not the color of his -skin. All, including those named, expressed themselves surprised -and pleased at what they saw and heard. It was the brightest day in -our history. - -This brief summary of the work of the past year indicates, but -cannot fully unfold, our need of more room. Young men and women -in the same building is an unfortunate necessity. It is the best -and only thing that can be done with safety to the work, and even -this is full of danger. Then to be forced to refuse admittance -to so many is unpleasant. We ought to keep the streams flowing -toward us, and not turn them in other directions or cause them to -cease flowing altogether. As our only institution in the great -Empire State we ought to provide liberally for it, that it may -carry forward the work so auspiciously begun. No field can be more -inviting. Nowhere in all the South is there a more Catholic spirit. -Everything conspires to insure large returns on all investments -in this department of Christian effort. Are there not friends who -will now come forward and render us needed help in the hour of our -necessity? Twenty thousand dollars in cash or approved pledges and -the new hall will be begun. Some two thousand are already secured. -Monuments of finest brass will perish through the wearing passage -of the ages, but those erected for the uplifting of a race are -imperishable. Will you help erect this? - - * * * * * - - -LETTER FROM FLORENCE, ALA. - -A person in attendance on revival meetings at this place writes to -Dr. Roy: - -“I hasten to tell you what a dear Saviour I have found. I have -accepted Him as mine and I mean to serve and trust Him the rest -of my life. Last Sunday the 20th year to a day since my marriage, -I resolved to be a Christian, but thought I would wait till the -middle of the week before starting. On last evening (Monday) I -drove my team down to the boat for passengers, but on finding that -I would probably have to carry them back and hence be kept from the -meeting, I drove away and attended church. When the invitation was -given I could wait no longer; went forward, gave my heart to Jesus, -and to-day I am a new man, not ashamed to tell the world. I was so -glad that I wish others could this afternoon in the praise meeting -speak for my Saviour, whose pleadings I have so long withstood. I -wanted to write you these words, because I knew you were anxious -for my salvation. How glad have I been always to meet you. No man -would I rather see or hear talk than you. You have caused me to -shed many a tear, but you didn’t know it. Oh I am so glad that -the Lord spared me that I might return to Him. I mean to give the -balance of my days to the blessed master. Shall do all I can to -have others come to Him and live for Him; pray for me that I may be -strong and useful. The Evangelist and his good wife are truly sent -out by the Lord. - -“Bro. Brown and they work nicely together. We just seem to be -in a good way. No doubt many will be converted. Up to this time -twelve have been brought out into the light. The Christians are -strengthened, the church encouraged and a good feeling prevails -among the people.” - - * * * * * - - -LETTER FROM McINTOSH, Ga. - -FROM REV. FLOYD SNELSON. - -Our school work has been vigilantly prosecuted this year, somewhat -to the end that the great demand which is made upon us for persons -to teach the public schools in this and adjoining counties might be -met. We have twenty-eight students licensed and sent out to work -this year, who have received all or a part of their training in our -school. Still a great many more are wanted. I have appeals before -me now for teachers for seven schools, made up and ready to begin -at any time, that I cannot supply. I do hope to see the day when -some lover of humanity will aid us with the facilities of a regular -boarding-school here, that this great need of teachers in the -common schools may be met. The twenty-eight that have gone out this -year to teach are allowed from 20 to 40 pupils. With an average of -30 in each of their schools, they will be able to start a light in -the dark minds of 840 needy ones. - -Our church work, I am very thankful to say, has also received an -additional Divine recognition. At our last communion season, which -was held July 22, sixteen persons, hopefully converted, came into -the fellowship of the church, and six children were brought to be -baptized. - - * * * * * - - -ITEMS FROM THE FIELD. - -—An effort is being made by Rev. Mr. Roberts, of Paris, Texas, to -organize a church at Dood City, where he has been holding special -meetings. - -—A new house of worship has been dedicated at Belle Place, La. Rev. -Wm. Butler, pastor, was assisted by Rev. W. R. Polk, of New Iberia, -in the dedicatory services. The A. M. A. furnished a portion of the -funds for the building. - -—Rev. B. F. Foster, who labored the past year as pastor and -teacher at Fayetteville, Ark., will prosecute his studies at the -Theological Seminary, Chicago. Rev. John M. Shippen, a recent -graduate of the Theological Department of Howard University, has -accepted an invitation to occupy the place vacated by Mr. Foster. - -—Rev. George W. Moore, a graduate of Fisk University and Oberlin -Theological Seminary, has assumed the pastoral care of the Lincoln -Memorial Church, Washington, D.C., under favorable auspices. He is -to supply Dr. Rankin’s pulpit one Sunday. - -—Rev. Zechariah Simmons, a licentiate of the North Carolina -Association, has been appointed to take charge of the mission -at Woodbridge, N.C., with reference to the organization of a -church. The A. M. A. has recently purchased a parsonage for his -accommodation. - -—The church in Oaks, Alamance Co., N.C., is building a comfortable -house of worship under the supervision of Rev. J. N. Ray, its -pastor, who has received $100 from the A. M. A. for the furtherance -of the enterprise. Miss E. W. Douglass, an experienced missionary -teacher, has been appointed to labor at this point. - -—Mr. G. W. Jackson and his wife (Rose McCutcheon) are pushing their -mission day and Sunday-school work at Whiteside, Tenn. They have -been visited by Rev. Jos. E. Smith and Mrs. Steele of Chattanooga, -and meetings of much promise have been held. - -—The _Clarion_, of Jackson, Miss., gives an interesting report -of the colored Congregational Church, organized by the A. M. A. -in that city, with Rev. C. L. Harris, pastor. The church has a -membership of 16 and a Sabbath-school of 63. Services are held in -the hall of the Hope Fire Company. The citizens of Jackson have -subscribed liberally toward the erection of a house of worship. - -—Rev. S. N. Brown, while furnishing a vacation supply at Florence, -Ala., has been assisted by the evangelist, Rev. J. E. Fields, in a -series of revival meetings, which has resulted in an addition of -twenty members to the church. This is the church which was so much -depleted by the Exodus. - -—Rev. A. W. Curtis, of Marion, Ala., on invitation of Rev. Dr. -Raymond, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, has preached on -exchange with him. This is said to be the first expression of -fellowship of this kind the A. M. A. preachers have received at the -South. Mr. Curtis has also accepted an invitation to exchange with -the pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church South in the same city. - -—Rev. Geo. W. Clark of Athens, Ga., and his people, with aid from -the A. M. A., have purchased a lot and are proceeding to build a -house of worship. Up to this time they have held their services in -the chapel of Knox Institute. - -—The A. M. A. is building a church at Pekin, N.C., with -accommodations for school purposes. - -—The church at Chattanooga, Tenn. (Rev. Jos. E. Smith, pastor), -have built a new fence about the meeting house, which has been -painted outside and inside and beautifully frescoed. - -—The St. Louis _Globe-Democrat_ says, in connection with the Press -Convention: “One remarkable paper was that represented at the -Convention by its business manager, R. C. Edmondson. It was _The -Fisk Herald_, a college paper published at the Fisk University -in Nashville, Tenn.; in fact, the only college paper the colored -people have. It is a nice eight-page tinted paper, well printed -and generally well reading journal.” The _Daily World_ says: “The -present number is of neat typographical appearance, and is filled -with interesting reading matter. A liberal encouragement should be -extended to this enterprise.” - -—The President of the Produce Exchange, Wilmington, N.C., speaking -of the school of the A. M. A., says: “The boys, after leaving -the institution, get employment more readily than others, because -their moral principles are higher, and because they are generally -better fitted for intelligent occupation than the majority of those -who profess to have received an elementary education. The people -of Wilmington have great cause for thankfulness that our Negro -population is so law-abiding and faithful to duty; and to take -courage from the results already accomplished in a transition so -violent from a life of slavery to that of freedom and citizenship -in the eyes of the law. The utmost harmony has prevailed between -the races for many years past, and instances of disagreement -between employers and employed are far more rare than among the -whites in the North.” - - * * * * * - - - - -THE CHINESE. - - * * * * * - - -RECRUITS FOR THE SOUTH CHINA MISSION. - -REV. W. C. POND, SAN FRANCISCO. - -I trust that our friends do not forget how God has begun to fulfil -the prayer which the motto of our mission, “China for Christ,” -and the hearts of our Chinese Christians sent up during so many -years, in the establishment by the American Board of a Mission in -China to co-operate with ours, and to reach, first of all, the -swarming millions in those districts from which our immigrants -have come. In connection with the departure of Bro. Hager to this -field, our Congregational Association of Christian Chinese gave -$500 in cash, and one of its best members and my best helpers as a -co-laborer. Bro. Hager has established his head-quarters at Hong -Kong and has gathered there a school similar in all respects to -ours in California. But this is only a rendezvous. The main work -is elsewhere, preaching the gospel and scattering the word of life -on the main land. Lee Sam is busy with this already; enduring -hardness as a good soldier, and working almost alone. But he will -not be suffered to work long alone. Our helper for years past at -Sacramento, Lem Chung, sailed for China more than six weeks ago, -and has already, we hope been welcomed at Hong Kong. Sustaining for -years a relation to the Chinese of Sacramento every way equivalent -to that which an American pastor sustains in the community where -he labors, he so commended himself by his mental capacity, his -faithfulness, his Christian spirit and consistent walk that while -our Chinese brethren clung to him as few American churches do to -their pastors, he was also “of good report,” or, as the revision -reads it, “has good testimony from them that are without,” both -Chinese and Americans. Whether he will remain permanently in China -is not decided, but so long as he does remain, I doubt not he will -be ready for every good word and work. And now three others among -our helpers, Hong Sing of Santa Cruz, Wong Him Wong of Stockton -and Lou Quong of the West School in this city, are making ready to -depart. They go together. They hope to begin missionary work on -the steamer. They hope to continue it when they reach their native -land. We shall miss them greatly. They have approved themselves -in our service, workmen that needed not to be ashamed, rightly -dividing the word of truth and illustrating its power in their -consistent lives. But with reference to our great purpose, “China -for Christ,” our loss is a gain, and we gladly take others to fill -the vacant places, hoping that these too, trained to preach by -preaching and to teach by teaching, will follow their brethren to -the dark regions across the wide sea. - -At the time of this writing, a fortnight remains before the close -of our fiscal year. Toward the $12,500 which our work for the year -_must_ cost, we have received in cash and pledges $11,800. To find -$700 more within these two weeks seems to be quite impossible, -by virtue of any resources remaining within the superintendent’s -reach. He repeats over to himself: “My God shall supply all your -need;” he recounts to himself the many mercies past; and how, again -and again, in his own experience, what seemed impossible has come -to pass, and still he questions and he doubts, and asking, seeking, -knocking, can do no better than to cry, “Lord I believe, help thou -mine unbelief.” Before this reaches the eye of our readers, the -fiscal year will have closed, and the account will be made up: yet -_not so closed_ but that if any of our readers are willing to share -with me the load which open doors and proffered harvests have laid -upon me, their help would be most welcome and most _timely_. - - * * * * * - - - - -BUREAU OF WOMAN’S WORK. - -MISS D. E. EMERSON, SECRETARY. - - * * * * * - - -MEETING OF BUREAU OF WOMAN’S WORK. - -In connection with the Annual Meeting of the A. M. A. in Brooklyn, -notice of which is given elsewhere, there will be a Woman’s Meeting -in the interest of our Bureau of Woman’s Work. Report of mission -work among the Chinese on the Pacific Coast will be made by Mrs. -W. C. Pond, wife of Superintendent Pond; on Indian Missions, by -Mrs Alfred L. Riggs, wife of the Principal of our Santee School, -Nebraska; on work among the mountain whites of Kentucky, by Mrs. A. -A. Myers, wife of Rev. Mr. Myers, our missionary in that region; -on work among the colored people, by Miss Anna M. Cahill, late -Principal of Normal Department, Fisk University. Other ladies will -participate in the meeting, particulars concerning which, and also -as to the hour of the meeting, will be given in the religious press -at a later date. - - * * * * * - - -THE PAPER MISSION, AND WHAT CAME OF IT. - -BY MISS NANCY MARSH, PROVIDENCE, R.I. - -Since we commenced our mission, May, 1880, we have received many -letters asking “What can I do?” To such we have made various -suggestions. - -In Stoneham, Mass., the ladies felt they could not send boxes, but -wished to do something, so organized the “Stevens Home Missionary -Society,” and have sent to various places 779 papers and pamphlets, -and 7 Sunday-school books. They have basted 1,465 blocks of -patch-work and sent to seven teachers in Texas, Tennessee, Georgia, -North Carolina and Ladies Island; have basted also 49 handkerchiefs -“from pieces of cloth, to teach the children to sew, and give them -what they needed.” Postage $5.22. They have also corresponded with -several pastors and teachers. The Secretary says; “I am delighted -with some of the correspondence, and enjoy the work very much; am -so glad to help even a little in this good work. I love some of the -dear teachers very much, and it has all come through their dear -letters, heart touching heart, and all for Jesus. Thank you for all -the interest you have taken to help us get started, and for your -aid right along; we have had no names except what you have given -us.” This society has proved very efficient, and they have been so -grateful for the privilege of working, it has been a pleasure to -find them opportunities; it has done them good as well as others. -Some of these letters have been read in their missionary concerts, -and awakened an increasing interest in the community. - -A lady in Chesterfield, Ill., formerly a teacher in Utah, and some -young friends have basted 300 blocks of patch-work for teachers in -Arkansas, North Carolina and Tennessee, feeling, she says, “that -our greatest privilege is to work for the Lord.” - -A letter came to us from Middleboro, Mass., saying, “I am very -anxious to do something for the missionaries, and, as I am an -invalid, and unable to give money, I thought I could cut and baste -patch-work if nothing more.” Recently we received a card stating -“I have sent 600 blocks to Chattanooga, Tenn., I would be glad to -do more, but am now unable to do any kind of work, but hope to -sometime, if ever so little.” In answer to inquiries, this lady -says: “The work I sent Mrs. S—— I did lying on my reclining chair -nearly as flat as a bed; but have been confined to my bed many -weeks at a time, and suffering more than words can tell.” Surely -this service performed for the Master, in such weariness and pain, -shall not lose its reward. - -From Claremont, N.H., the question came: “What can a mission circle -do for Christmas?” We suggested a place as affording ample scope -for their ingenuity and generosity; so “the Sunbeams” (the mission -circle) 25 in number, from six to fourteen years, sent rays of -light and gladness to cheer the hearts of these desolate people -in the shape of picture-frames, book-marks, work and scrap-bags, -mittens, pin-balls, spectacle-cases for the old ladies, etc. The -ladies of this place also sent a box of second-hand clothing, which -was greatly needed. - -There has been much labor in corresponding with so many persons: -69 letters and postals have been written. This includes work only -among the Freedmen, yet we have rejoiced in the interest awakened -in various places by this means, and are glad to help this good -cause in every way in our power. Aid has been given in various ways -and different places, which, including postage, makes $37.24. This -_patch-work_ has become quite an institution, 2,504 blocks have -been sent, greatly helping the teachers in their work, saving their -time and strength, and helping to form habits of industry which -are so essential to the well-being of these women and young girls, -thus fitting them for usefulness in the future. One old lady, who -is much interested in the young, and fond of patch-work, gave us -78 blocks very nicely basted, which were sent to Ladies Island, -so meeting the needs of a young girl whose quilt had come to a -standstill for want of materials. - -In 1882, in order to enlarge our field of operations, we sent -to Dr. Strieby for new names of pastors and teachers among the -Freedmen, and are now able to report that we have forwarded to the -Southern States 1,021 papers and pamphlets, 339 lesson papers, -122 tracts, 74 Scripture cards and 103 Christmas cards; postage -$5.72. Besides these, papers have been sent by several persons -in different States. A teacher in Texas writes, “I should like -Sunday-school papers, temperance, and other tracts, to distribute -as I visit among the people.” “Can make use of the patch-work -and any other sewing prepared; thanks for encouraging words, and -sympathy, we need your constant and earnest prayers.” - -From N.C.—“Your Christmas cards reached us safely; the children -enjoyed their gifts, and received them gratefully. My field is not -an easy one, but I am endeavoring with the Master’s help to plant -and replant fruitful seed. Any good reading matter is acceptable. -I need material for my sewing school (one dozen spools of cotton -and six crochet needles, were sent to this school by two young -ladies). Your letter was full of encouragement and good advice, -and strengthened me much. My work is chiefly among the children, -have 50 or 60 in Sunday-school in the morning, and about the same -number attend the Band of Hope every Sabbath afternoon. We have -prayer-meetings every Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday evenings. I -have also a Bible-class for adults, which I teach an hour and a -half every Wednesday evening. Have received the patch-work from -Mrs. M., it is indeed a great help to have it basted, my time is so -occupied.” - -Ga.—The teacher writes: “Thanks for your interest in us, we pay -for our Sunday school papers, for we think the people prize them -more when they pay for them; but I can send what I receive into -the country, where they are very glad of them; sent your roll last -night out twenty-five miles to a place where they have nothing to -help them; have several places to which I can send, and profitably -use all I receive. We are trying to give the people a little -instruction in mission work; and take up a collection once in three -months; this people need nothing more than to understand that there -are others as poor as themselves, and they certainly are very poor, -but, as they receive, they must also give; true growth comes from -looking out. Our day school has over 100, and our Sunday school -nearly as many more, some coming four or five miles, and have been -very enthusiastic in their work. My scholars are looking forward to -teaching. Last summer 14 were out, and more will probably go this -summer. We are hoping to give them better ideas of religion, that -they may help to change the character of the coming generation. We -have organized a “Woman’s Missionary Society.” They are to meet -from house to house, taking their supper with them; think it will -go far toward making them better housekeepers, as well as teaching -them to make things, which they will sell, and so get a little -money into their treasury, then they can send a dollar to some -cause in which they are interested. Pray for the success of this -society for through it, I hope to reach the homes, and there is so -much to be done in the homes before there can be much improvement.” - -We have had cheering words from pastors in Arkansas and Kentucky, -telling of souls converted, Christians revived and children -gathered into Sunday schools. Our papers have been given where -there is great destitution of reading matter. - -At Christmas a few cards and papers were sent to a pastor in -Childersburg, Ala. He writes: “I want to thank your class for -their gifts to the children, who are destitute of such things. Our -church was burned a year ago, after a temperance lecture, but the -people are building better than before. We held services in our -church last winter without a stove, and the house all open, yet we -trust the Lord was with us; our school numbered 30 or 40 during the -cold weather and a larger number when pleasant. There are many who -cannot read, and many who can have no Bibles.” - -We have been much interested in these pastors and teachers, some -of them have made great sacrifices, and though not appreciated by -those who should sustain and encourage them, future generations -will rise up and call them blessed. We are very grateful to all the -kind friends who have helped us in our work by papers, postage, -patch-work, and in various ways and places, especially for the -Christian sympathy extended to these pastors and teachers. It has -been duly appreciated, and lightened many a burdened heart; so we -trust our “Paper Mission” has not been a failure in the Southern -States. - - * * * * * - - - - -CHILDREN’S PAGE. - - * * * * * - - -A TALK WITH THE CHILDREN. - -MISS IDA M. BEACH, SAVANNAH, GA. - -“The lady asked me was I agoin’ to hear the children make their -speeches,” said a little colored girl but just transplanted from -her Southern home to this Northern land. - -“What do you mean?” I asked. - -“Why, it is breakin’ up day in the schoolhouse over yonder, and the -children are goin’ to speak.” - -[Illustration: - - _From Harper’s Young People._ - -TOPSY LEFT ALONE.] - -Sitting by my window the next day, voices of children attracted -my attention. Looking up I saw two little ones—a brother and -sister—trudging along followed by another little girl. I noticed -the fresh white dresses and pretty aprons, and that they seemed -to be very much in earnest about something. A half hour later -the mother passed, and it dawned upon me, then, that it was the -“last day of school.” Afterward, riding by the school-house, and -peeping in, I saw rows of bright children and many happy parents -and friends. It brought to my mind another “last day,” where were -children dressed by just as loving hands in their white lawns, and -pink and cream buntings. Their songs were just as well sung—perhaps -better—for a lady, after spending a day in a public school of a New -England city, wrote: “The children are trained by a music teacher -who receives $800 a year, but their singing could not be compared -to that we heard by the pupils of ——,” referring to these of whom -I am telling you. Their little “speeches” were recited just as -distinctly; the teachers were just as proud; the parents just as -happy, nay, happier. I’ll tell you why by and by. - -Have you studied U.S. History? And do you remember the story of our -late Civil War? Then you know that one result of it was that nearly -four million slaves, who were owned by other people, to be bought -and sold like any other property, were made free. They could go -where they chose; work as they wanted to; receive the wages they -earned; make homes for themselves, and not be afraid that their -children would be torn away from them to go with another master. - -If you should take the cars in Richmond and ride though—what -States?—till you came to Florida, you would pass through miles and -miles of pinelands scattered all along. Set right in among the pine -trees are little log cabins, the homes of many of these people. -Owning little farms, raising their rice and corn, cotton and sweet -potatoes, they seem very happy indeed. I heard snatches of “Hold -the Fort” coming from within one of these cabins, and remembered -seeing a little church not far away, so I think they must have -Sunday-school, and use the “Gospel Hymns,” don’t you? - -Stopping over one train in a Southern city, and inquiring for the -homes of the colored people, you will be directed to almost any -lane. Shall I tell you about one I visited? - -Clara told me where to find her. Hunting around among many houses -which were nearly alike, I suddenly saw a face at a window which -I knew must be that of Clara’s mother. I crossed the street and -knocked at the door. It was old and weather-beaten, and fairly -creaked as I rapped. - -A little old woman, with a white turban bound about her head, -opened the door. With a courtesy and warm greeting she offered -me a chair. The floor was uncarpeted, but as clean as frequent -scrubbings with soap and water could make it. - -Two sticks were burning in the open fire-place, before which stood -a half dozen flat-irons. Mrs. —— apologized for “bein’ a ironin’ on -a Saturday,” and after giving a few finishing touches to a piece on -the board sat down to tell me about Clara. - -“My husban’ is dead, an’ it is very hard to get an hones’ livin’ -an’ keep Clara in school. She ain’t strong, ma’am, Clara ain’t, an’ -can’t do much hard work, but she love’ her books an’ want to teach. -She was graduate’ las’ year, but nothing would do but I mus’ sen’ -her this year. It is mighty hard to get the money, you know, ma’am, -but I never can give her nothing but an education. I never had none -myself, but, Clara, she is right smart in her books, ma’am. I wants -her to be educated.” The same story oft repeated, “the children, -the children they mus’ be educated.” - -Do you know, now, why those mothers were so happy when listening to -the songs and recitations of their children? Can you realize how -proud they are when they find that Nehemiah and Charles Henry can -read and write like any white boys? - -Who will hunt up nine others and be one of ten to save ten cents -each month to pay the tuition of one of these children? - - * * * * * - - - - -RECEIPTS FOR AUGUST, 1883. - - * * * * * - - - MAINE, $222.07. - - Bangor.

I have spent - nearly a small fortune for doctors and medicine, but with only - temporary relief.

We hope to be able to -announce through the religious press and otherwise, in good season, -such particulars relating to speakers and accommodations as will be -of interest to our readers. For the present we refer them to the -announcement on the 4th page cover of this <span class="smcap">Missionary</span>.</p> - -</div> - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<div class="article"> - -<h3>GOOD AS THREE WEEKS REVIVAL.</h3> - -<p>The value of the annual meetings of our great missionary societies -is not measured chiefly by the amount of business transacted, -important and necessary as that is. The information imparted might -be gathered otherwise, but the full benefit to mind and heart can -only be had by participating in the devotions, the instructions in -righteousness, and, indeed, the arousements that are found among -the vast throng that assemble on these occasions. Dr. Withrow said, -at the Saratoga meeting of the Home Missionary Society: “These -three days are worth as much as three weeks revival in giving -a spiritual uplift to the churches.” We believe this to be no -extravagant assertion. Great religious gatherings of some sort have -been common from time immemorial. These have varied according to -the developments of the age.</p> - -<p>The problem of the church to-day is the world’s conversion. All -other questions are but side issues. The wonderful developments -of our modern civilization have been preparatory. They have made -it possible for the church to make rapid strides in hastening the -triumphs of the Redeemer’s kingdom. The facilities are ready. -Young men and women with trained faculties for the work are being -graduated from our schools of learning<a class="pagenum" name="Page_290" id="Page_290">[290]</a> by the thousands. Nothing -is lacking but the disposition—the mind to work. The chief -value of these meetings is seen in their potency to impart this -disposition.</p> - -<p>It is not many years since there was but one truly great and grand -distinctively missionary annual meeting in our land—the meeting -of the American Board. Then there came well up to the front the -annual meetings of the American Missionary Association, and latest, -the meeting of the Home Missionary Society, which, in point of -attendance from abroad, possibly, outnumbered any one ever held by -the Congregational brethren. Other denominations are progressing in -this direction. There is a wonderfully encouraging development all -along the line. The morning cometh; they who turn their thoughts -to our great missionary enterprises are looking toward it, and not -toward yesterday morning, as men blinded by misbelief continually -look.</p> - -<p>We call the attention of our readers to the fact that two of these -great annual meetings convene in October, and we trust that but -few obstacles will be deemed so weighty as to interfere with their -attendance.</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p><span class="smcap">The</span> demand for Our Temperance Concert Exercise, issued -in the May <span class="smcap">Missionary</span>, and also in circular form, has -been steady and encouraging. It was recently used in the First -Church, Greenwich, Conn., with gratifying success. Some features -were introduced by the pastor, Rev. Mr. Kellogg, not contemplated -in the preparation of the exercise. Selections were made from the -communications on temperance published in the same number of the -<span class="smcap">Missionary</span>, and read by different individuals. Words -were adapted to Jubilee Songs, giving a pleasing variety, and -recitations introduced in addition to, and in place of, those given -in the paper. We again call the attention of our friends to this -Concert Exercise, with reference to its use.</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p><span class="smcap">Rev. Stephen R. Riggs</span>, D.D., LL. D., missionary to the -American Indians for forty years, died at the age of 71, at -Beloit, Wis., in August. Like Livingstone, in early life, he was -desirous of becoming a missionary to China, but yielded to what -he considered the overrulings of Providence, and in 1837, with -his wife, went into the far Northwest among the Sioux. He reduced -their language to writing, compiled a dictionary and translated -the Holy Scriptures and hymns. Ten well-ordered churches and many -out-stations were established in the region of his operations, -reaching beyond the British line.</p> - -<p>As an author, he did good service. His book, “<cite>Mary and I—Forty -Years with the Sioux</cite>,” has magnified the significance of Indian -missions. Another book, “<cite>Gospel Among the Dakotas</cite>,” portrays -vividly scenes of pioneer life. His memorial of Dr. Williamson is a -tribute worthy of the<a class="pagenum" name="Page_291" id="Page_291">[291]</a> man and his successful efforts in behalf of -the Indians. Four of his children have labored among the Sioux, and -one of his daughters has entered upon work across the Pacific. Rev. -Alfred L. Riggs, principal of our school at Santee, and Thomas L. -Riggs, of Fort Sally, and Mrs. Martha Riggs Morris, at the Sisseton -agency, are carrying on the work so happily inaugurated by their -father. His life was one of incessant missionary toil, in which for -years he had been aided by his children, and to whom he bequeathed -its continuance, and in the midst of whom he passed from earth to -his reward on high.</p> -</div> - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<div class="article"> - -<h3>OUR INDIAN WORK.</h3> - -<p>Never was there a more favorable time for enlargement on our -part. The new impulse to the general cause by General Grant’s -peace policy, augmented by the success of the schools at Hampton -and Carlisle, will be still more accelerated by the schools soon -to be completed by the Government at Chilloco, Indian Territory; -Lawrence, Kansas; and Genoa, Neb. When these are finished and -filled, the Indian schools throughout the country will accommodate -10,250 pupils of the 40,000 school population of the Indians at the -present time. Sec. Teller may be too sanguine in the expectation -that with adequate means the Indian problem will not be heard of in -the next generation, but never before could such a prediction come -so near being true. At all events, the nation and the Government -are fully aroused, and it becomes the American Missionary -Association to bestir itself to do its part. This Association -has now the responsibility of doing the Indian work for the -Congregational churches, the American Board having transferred to -it the whole of its Indian missions. A delegation of the Executive -Committee of the Association, consisting of Rev. W. H. Ward, D.D., -Rev. Addison P. Foster, Charles L. Mead, Esq., and the Secretary, -made recently a thorough inspection of all the schools and missions -with very favorable impressions, a report of which follows.</p> - -<p>Enlargement is imperatively needed in three directions, in addition -to the $20,000 for the current work:</p> - -<p>1. At the old and well-established mission at the Santee Agency, -Nebraska, Rev. A. L. Riggs thus details the immediate wants of -that station: additional industrial accommodations; extension of -carpenter shop, $250; blacksmith shop, with five forges, $750; -outfit of tools for the same, $150; general dining hall for -200 boarders, with laundry rooms, $5,000; outfit for the same, -including heating arrangements, kitchen ranges, laundry apparatus, -$1,500; making in all $7,650. Boarding-school house for girls at -Oahe, Fort Sully, $2,500.</p> - -<p>2. New mission stations and schools among the Indians now -unsupplied. Three station buildings for native teachers on the -Cheyenne<a class="pagenum" name="Page_292" id="Page_292">[292]</a> River, $1,000; missionary’s house at Cherry Creek, -Cheyenne River, $1,500; mission among the Crows, $2,000.</p> - -<p>We invite the friends of Indian progress to select from the items -above given in both fields of enlargement the specific object for -completing which they will aid us in whole or in part.</p> - -<p>3. An agricultural, mechanical and Normal School, to be founded -perhaps somewhere in Peoria Bottom, a new Hampton located on the -border, with the white man’s civilization on one hand and the -Indian reservations close on the other. This, though it is an -urgent want and essential to the filling out of our general plan, -must await the careful search for a fitting location and the means -to give it a suitable inauguration.</p> - -<p>Where shall the work be done for the Indian? One successful -teacher in Indian schools says that the children should all be -brought East, and trained amid the white man’s civilization; -another gentleman, long connected with a Mission Board, holds -that the education should be given wholly among the tribes, so -that the pupils would be trained amid their people and not away -from sympathy with them. We believe <em>both</em> methods are necessary. -The youth trained at home elevates his people as he rises, and -is himself strengthened and helped by his friends who come from -the East with the higher touch of the white man’s culture. Our -schools and missions, those now in progress and the one proposed, -afford the advantages of both plans. We shall aim to combine the -industrial, normal and religious training so as to fit the pupils, -male and female, for the practical duties of life in the field, the -shop and the home, in the school room, in the pulpit and the church.</p> - -<p>We have undertaken much. The hour has come for it, and we know that -the friends of the Indian will not suffer us to fail for want of -means.</p> -</div> - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<div class="article"> - -<h3>A VISIT TO THE DAKOTA MISSION.</h3> - -<p class="secauth">REV. ADDISON P. FOSTER.</p> - -<p>The transfer by the American Board of its Missions among the -Dakota Indians to the American Missionary Association made it -desirable that some of the officers of the Association should -acquaint themselves personally with the work. Accordingly, Rev. -M. E. Strieby, D.D., Secretary of the Association, and Rev. Wm. -Hayes Ward, D.D., of the <cite>Independent</cite>, C. L. Mead, Esq., and -your correspondent, all members of the Executive Committee, met -by appointment at the Santee Agency. Three of the party then -visited the mission station at Oahe, D.T., connected with the -Cheyenne Agency, where the party divided, Dr. Strieby returning -by way of the Sisseton Agency, Dr. Ward and Mr. Foster, under the -leadership of Rev. Thomas L. Riggs, the efficient missionary, -entering the great Sioux Reservation and traveling in an open wagon -between three and four hundred miles, mostly in Indian country. -This last-named expedition had<a class="pagenum" name="Page_293" id="Page_293">[293]</a> not a little of excitement and -adventure. Camping out at night, fording swollen streams, sleeping -in an Indian wigwam, driving across trackless prairies by the -aid of a compass, running the divides, killing a rattlesnake, -preaching to the wild Indians through an interpreter, spending days -in Indian villages, where hideous heathen mummeries were in full -view, visiting the Indians’ strange earth-built lodges, and their -offensive scaffold burying grounds, we passed through a series of -experiences not soon to be forgotten.</p> - -<p>The American Missionary Association has become possessor of three -considerable mission stations among the Indians, in or near Dakota -Territory. At the Santee Agency, which is just across the Missouri -in Nebraska, about thirty miles up the river from Yankton, is a -large and very successful school, a church of Indians with an -Indian pastor, and one out-station with an immediate prospect -of a second. This school and mission work are under the general -superintendence of Rev. Alfred L. Riggs. The children in the -school come not only from the Santees on the Agency, but from long -distances, from the Sisseton Agency, Fort Berthold and Montana. -We were greatly pleased with the intelligence, the neatness and -Christian spirit of these students. They will certainly compare -favorably in every way with the bright young Indians we have seen -at Hampton.</p> - -<p>Oahe is the centre of a wide evangelistic work, which has been -organized and is carried on with great energy and success by Rev. -Thomas L. Riggs. At Oahe itself is a mission home, a neat chapel, -also used as a school-house, and three miles away, a second -school-house. A native church is organized here, ministered to most -acceptably by Yellow Hawk, an exemplary and industrious Indian. -We were specially interested in a prayer meeting of Indian women, -which was fully attended and heartily sustained. Oahe is on the -east side of the Missouri, where a considerable number of Indians -have given up their tribal relations, taken up land in severalty, -and become voting citizens of the United States. Immediately -across the river is the Sioux Reservation. This is greatly cut -up by sizable streams which flow down from the Black Hills. On -every stream are extensive and very fertile bottom-lands. Here -the Indians are located, living mostly in tents, but some in log -houses. They are chiefly wild Indians, only a few years since being -on the war-path, mainly different sections of Sitting Bull’s band. -They still wear blankets, and are gaudy in bead-work, and paint -and feathers. But they are now in wholesome fear of the government -and, better still, are anxious to be as white men. Mr. Riggs has -established four stations in Indian villages on the Cheyenne River, -and a fifth on the Grand River. At three of these stations there -is preaching by native pastors, Solomon Martun (or Bear’s Ear), -Isaac Renville and Edward Phelps, by name; at the other places are -schools. The mission at Ft. Berthold is among the Rees, Mandans -and Gros Ventres.<a class="pagenum" name="Page_294" id="Page_294">[294]</a> These three small tribes long since combined -in one village for protection against their ancient foes, the -Sioux. Rev. C. L. Hall is the missionary here. A mission home and -a chapel are the buildings, both in excellent condition. The work -at this mission is slow in developing results, not from any lack -of faithfulness or adaptation on the part of the missionaries, -for their consecration and fitness are marked, but because these -Indians by their tribal divisions are jealous of one another, and -by their contact in the past with white men of bad character are -corrupt and hard to reach. Mr. Hall has an out-station in his care -at Devil’s Lake, where Rev. David Hopkins, a Sisseton Indian, is -laboring.</p> - -<p class="right smcap">The Advance.</p> -</div> - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<div class="article"> - -<h3>THE RELATIONS OF THE CHURCH TO THE COLORED RACE.</h3> - -<p class="secauth">BY REV. LEWIS GROUT.</p> - -<p>Rev. Dr. J. L. Tucker’s speech on the above subject before the -Episcopal Church Congress, in Richmond, last October, has had -a very emphatic indorsement from professional and other men in -the South, and yet not without severe criticism from some of the -colored people, especially in Jackson, Miss., the home of Dr. -Tucker, where he made the speech. It seems that Dr. Tucker is a -man of Northern birth, that he was a soldier in the Confederate -army, after which he became a planter, then a rector, and that -he has had much experience and interest in the education of the -colored race, as planter, teacher and minister. And yet, with all -his acquaintance with that race, there are several important points -pertaining to their history, character and welfare, in which he is -sadly mistaken.</p> - -<p>The first mistake of his that I will notice has respect to the -character of the native African. In Africa, he says, “human life -has no sacredness, and men, women and children are slain as beasts -are, and even more carelessly, as less valuable. Human suffering -excites no pity, and blood flows like water.” “That what we call -morality, whether in the relations of the sexes, or in the sense of -truthfulness, or in the sense of honesty, has no lodgment whatever -in the native African’s breast;” and that they have “no words” for -gratitude, generosity, industry, truthfulness, honesty, modesty, -gentleness and virtue, because they have none of these ideas. -Now all this, and much more of the same sort, is the baldest of -hyperbole, far from the truth. During my fifteen years of labor in -that land, I made the study of African character and language a -specialty; and I believe that words representing the ideas above -named may be found in every language and dialect on the continent. -As to humanity and all kindred virtues, they are abreast, if not -ahead, of any and every other people that have not had the gospel. -For honesty and morality, under pure native rule, in many respects, -the Zulus and cognate tribes would put to shame the people in every -part of this land of ours. I have no reason<a class="pagenum" name="Page_295" id="Page_295">[295]</a> to believe that I -ever lost a sixpence worth of anything, through their stealing, -in all those fifteen years of my stay among them; and as to the -relations of the sexes, I believe there are ten illegitimate births -here in New England to-day, where there was ever one in Zululand -previous to the incoming of the Dutch and English. To be sure, all -African tribes may not be abreast of what the Zulus used to be, in -these things. And yet Rev. Dr. Crummell, for many years a college -professor and rector of a parish in Liberia, says: “All along the -west coast of Africa the family tie and the marriage bond are as -strong as among any <em>primitive</em> people.” “Their maidenly virtue, -the instinct to chastity, is a marvel.”</p> - -<p>2. Dr. Tucker says the colored people of the South are grossly -immoral. If he had made a very deserved exception of the many -who have been brought under the restraints of the gospel by good -mission work among them, within a few years, his charge would -have been more just. But whence came the great excess in vice -which he avers? Could anything else have been expected from long -generations of the peculiar training their bondage gave them? Under -the treatment they had, as Dr. Tucker says, “they quickly learned -to conceal,” “learned lying, stealing and adultery.” By a somewhat -minute detail, he shows how the familiarity and “the intrigues -which the white men” had with the black women wrought in them, as -he says, “the utter destruction of the very sense of virtue.”</p> - -<p>3. Dr. Tucker says nothing of importance has been accomplished by -Northern benevolence for the colored people, except to make them -worse—to “build strongholds for the devil in disguise,” to “build -up the kingdom of evil.” Now all this, in which his speech abounds, -I repudiate as false and slanderous. In the course of forty years -I have seen a good deal of mission work, of one kind and another, -at home and abroad, and under the auspices of almost every society -in the world. I have also seen the work of the American Missionary -Association among the Freedmen; and, as the result of all, I am -free to say, I believe Dr. Tucker may go the world over, time -through, ransack all history, and not be able to point to a time or -place where mission work and money have done more, in proportion to -the means employed, than has been done by this Association among -the colored people since their emancipation, two decades since.</p> - -<p>4. Dr. Tucker alleges that Northern missionaries are incompetent, -“don’t know what they are about,” or “how to reach the colored -people,” or “how to deal with them,” “barely know a Negro when they -see him.” Well, I am told there are some white people in the South, -who, themselves “don’t know a Negro when they see him,” in some -cases only as they trace his genealogy and find out who his mother -was. But how should Dr. Tucker, himself, be able to know all about -this matter, how to reach the colored people, how to lift them up, -how to heal them, better than other men of Northern birth?</p> - -<p><a class="pagenum" name="Page_296" id="Page_296">[296]</a></p> - -<p>5. The counterpart of the above charge is, that the Southern whites -are the “only ones” who know how to do good mission work for the -colored race, and that we of the North must put all our money into -their “control.” But what have they ever done to prove such special -fitness to inspire the Negro with confidence in their teaching and -treatment, to prove their own faith in his capacity for a high -order of improvement, to encourage us to put “every dollar” of our -mission money into their hands? Why, after they had had the black -man in their own special teaching and treatment for more than two -centuries, utterly dissevered from pagan Africa, all plastic, -docile and confined, as he was, to their exclusive training, has -his original heathenism been so little improved as to leave the -Negro no better than Dr. Tucker represents him to be. And even now, -what great effort have they made for his improvement in the two -decades that have passed since his emancipation?</p> - -<p>Another mistake I find in Dr. Tucker’s speech, the greatest and -most fatal of all, and the last I will notice, is his color line -“plan” for all educational and religious work in the South—a -school and a church on this side of the street for the whites, a -school and a church on that side for the blacks—a double system, -with, as he says, “double the expense.” But neither a system such -as that, nor the spirit that desires or prompts it, will have any -place on earth when the gospel of Christ gets a proper ascendency -in the hearts and lives of men.</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p><span class="smcap">We</span> have issued Pamphlet No. 8, on <cite>The Reflex Influence -of the Work of the American Missionary Association</cite>, an address -delivered in Tremont Temple by Rev.

A.</h4> - -<p class="secauth">FROM ADDRESS BY REV. S. L. BLAKE, D.D.</p> - -<p>The direct increase to the wealth of the country, in diminishing -the number of mere consumers, and increasing the number of actual -producers and property-holders, puts the business world largely in -debt to this society.</p> - -<p>A few figures will help your understanding of the case. In -twenty-one years this society has spent $5,543,636.03—a yearly -average of $263,772.19. In seventeen years, from 1863 to 1880, -from not owning a single dollar’s worth of property of any sort -available for taxation, these people have come to hold property -taxed for $100,000,000, as appears from Southern tax-bills, which -show no respect of color—an average rate of increase from nothing, -of $5,882,352.94 a year. This is a yearly increase greater than -the whole amount spent by this society. That is, this society has -spent $1, and these people, from absolute pauperism, have come into -possession of over $21 of taxable property. These facts answer the -question whether the colored man can take care of himself, and show -that the labors of this society have a cash value which can easily -be computed.</p> - -<p>There is still another phase of the cash value of the labors of -this society, as related to the productive wealth of the country. -Here this society touches and increases our material prosperity. -I refer to a more equable distribution of ownership in the soil. -Surely no one can deny that to change five or six millions of -people from paupers to property-holders, produces a very material -effect upon the prosperity of the State.</p> - -<p>I believe that it is a settled canon of political economy that -a nation’s wealth is in its soil. Where there are but few -land-owners, and the tillers of the soil are tenants, wealth must -be in the hands of the few, and comparative if not absolute poverty -in the hands of the many. To this state of things belong social -classes, as widely separated from each other as continents. It -goes without saying that landed monopoly and general prosperity -of the people do not go together. I am no advocate of communism; -but I take the ground, and I believe it can be held, that the same -amount of property, somewhat evenly distributed among the people of -a country, adds more to its actual productive wealth and material -prosperity, than the same amount of money would do, held in the -hands of a few, who constitute an aristocracy of wealth and of -blood. Of course, in every state, some men must be vastly more -wealthy than others. But a comfortable competence in one’s hands -makes him entirely independent of his more wealthy neighbor.</p> - -<p>It is among the proofs of the increasing material prosperity of -this country, that the average size of farms has decreased from -199 acres in 1860 to 134 acres in 1880; and that the amount of -capital invested in farms exceeds the money invested in railroads, -and in manufacturing, including supplies, by over $2,000,000,000. -Gradually this vast preponderance of wealth is being more equably -distributed among the people. The plantation system, previous to -the war, gives way to the small farm, tilled and owned in many -cases by the former slaves. Take a single case. Liberty County, -Georgia, in 1860, was mostly taken up by large plantations. There -were but 48 farms, “of from three acres to one hundred acres each.” -In 1880 the county was almost entirely owned by colored people, and -there were 1,500 farms. This is an illustration of the yielding of -landed monopoly and aristocracy to popular ownership in the soil, -and to a more general and evenly diffused prosperity. The average -size of farms in fifteen slave States has been reduced from over -368 acres in 1860 to a trifle over 149 acres in 1880, over 50 per -cent. If you precipitate upon the population of a country 1,000,000 -citizens, who may become land-holders, you have struck a heavy blow -at landed monopoly, and taken a long stride toward increase of -material prosperity.</p> - -<p><a class="pagenum" name="Page_302" id="Page_302">[302]</a></p> - -<p>Let me give you two or three further facts. In 1878 the freedmen -of Prince Edward County, Virginia, owned 2,305 acres of land, -an increase in eight years of 1,847 acres. In the county of -Rockbridge, Virginia, two thousand blacks were assessed for $50,000 -worth of real estate. In 1876 the colored people of Georgia owned -land valued at $1,234,104, and other property to swell the total -to $6,134,829. In the single State of Georgia these people, from -not owning a dollar, have come to possess property greater in value -than the entire sum spent by this Association in 21 years. Who says -that this alabaster box of ointment has been wasted?</p> - -<p>Material prosperity indicates a certain degree of intelligence. The -ignorant are not the wealthy nations of the globe. The work of this -Association in bringing these people up to a degree of intelligence -somewhat commensurate with their opportunities, and in lifting -them to a level of citizenship co-ordinate with the welfare and -prosperity of the State, has directly aided in this increase of the -material forces of the nation’s welfare. For if the actual amount -of property were not increased, yet the prospective wealth of the -nation must be by converting 6,000,000 illiterate paupers into -educated, independent property-holders.</p> - -<p>I find this in the last issue of the <cite>American Missionary</cite>, which -supports my position with high authority: “It has been estimated -at Washington that the annual profit to the country by the -conversion of illiterate into educated labor cannot be less than -$400,000,000.” This work has been done by this Association.</p> - -<p>Money given to the endowment of its institutions at the South would -yield a hundred fold in half a generation.</p> -</div> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 500px;"> -<img src="images/whitetop.jpg" width="500" height="417" alt="" /> -<div class="center">WHITE TOP MOUNTAIN, VIRGINIA.</div> -</div> - -<p><a class="pagenum" name="Page_303" id="Page_303">[303]</a></p> - -<div class="article"> - -<hr class="full" /> -<h2>THE SOUTH.</h2> - -<p class="secauth smcap">Rev.

W. S. ALEXANDER, D.D.</p> - -<p>An experiment in the form of a brief educational campaign in -Louisiana and Mississippi has been attended with the most -gratifying results, and has been to those identified with it a -revelation of what may be accomplished in the same direction. -Hitherto in our educational work in Louisiana we have depended, so -far as the patronage of the country parishes was concerned, upon -the good reports of the students, and the dawning conception, in -the minds of those living remote from the city, of the necessity -of an education. It occurred to Prof. Hitchcock and myself, as -we were likely to be detained in New Orleans the greater part of -the summer, that we could in no way better serve the interests -of Straight University than by presenting the facts of education -directly to the people, and pleading its claims wherever there -was “an open door.” We not only found doors wide open, but were -greeted from many parishes with the Macedonian cry, “Come over and -help us.” Our University was represented in the most important -centers, either by our graduates or those still upon our roll. -They had borne to their homes a grateful sense of good received at -the school, and entered enthusiastically into the matter of the -meetings. They were our <i lang="fr" xml:lang="fr">avant-couriers</i>, and most faithfully did -they spread the tidings of our coming.</p> - -<p>In the space of a single article we can do little more than -summarize, but we trust our enforced conciseness will not despoil -the narrative of its interest or value. The first important point -made was</p> -</div> - -<div class="article"> - -<h4><i>Baton Rouge.</i></h4> - -<p>The meeting on July 5 at the Capital of the State had been well -advertised, and was largely attended. The A. M. E. Church (Rev. -Mr. Jackson, pastor) was well filled. The majority of the audience -were young men, just the class we desired to reach. We had not -only a respectful, but an interested hearing. Mr. A. H. Colwell, -a talented graduate of Straight, who fills an important position -as teacher at Baton Rouge, presided at the organ, and at the -conclusion of the meeting made a neat address, moving a resolution -of thanks to the speakers. Rev. Mr. Jackson spoke with feeling and -intelligent appreciation of the demands of education. The ablest -white lawyer in Baton Rouge made a rousing speech, commending -heartily the objects of the meeting.</p> -</div> - -<div class="article"> - -<h4><i>Vicksburg.</i></h4> - -<p>The meeting at this point, July 9th, presents many facts worthy -of record. Our young men, Reynolds and Temple, graduates of the -present year, had been untiring in their efforts to make the -meeting a success. Every newspaper in Vicksburg had noticed it -editorially. Every colored pulpit had twice and thrice advertised -it, and urged the people to attend. Influential white people -had been invited, especially members of the School Board. The -Court-House had been applied for, and freely granted by the City -Council for the purposes of the meeting. On the day previous -(Sunday) it was my privilege to preach in two of the most important -colored churches of the city, while Prof. Hitchcock did good work -in the Sunday-Schools. On Sabbath evening I preached in the A. M. E. -Church (Rev. Mr. Carolina,<a class="pagenum" name="Page_304" id="Page_304">[304]</a> pastor) to an audience of 800 -people. It was a rare privilege, and great was the joy of preaching -on the blessed religion of the Lord Jesus to so many people, -and all eager and reverent in their attention. On Monday night -the Court-House an imposing building situated on “the heights,” -overlooking the city, and the first object that attracts attention -as the boat enters the harbor, witnessed the gathering of an eager -and crowded assembly of men and women, roused to no common degree -of enthusiasm by the simple announcement of an “<em>educational -meeting</em>.”</p> - -<p>The Court-Room, with the wide halls approaching it and the deep -window recesses, was not large enough to accommodate the hundreds -who flocked to it. It was estimated that 800 entered and as many -more failed to get in. An organ had been brought from one of the -churches, a fine choir had been gathered, and very choice music was -rendered. The leading colored clergymen of the city were present. -The addresses which were made were plain matter-of-fact statements -of the nature and demands of education, the widespread illiteracy -of the colored people, the opportunity offered them of improving -their condition mentally, socially, materially and morally, and -the utter impossibility of their ever reaching a higher place in -any department of growth without the guiding and helping hand of -education. Great plainness of speech was used, and was not only -tolerated but approved by the audience.</p> - -<p><i>Rev. C. K. Marshall, D.D.</i>, the author of the vigorous and able -pamphlet entitled “The Colored Race Weighed in the Balance,” a -gentleman of great influence in Mississippi, kindly called upon us -at the hotel, and not only was present at the meeting, but made -an eloquent and telling address, replete with good points. He has -always been a friend of the colored race, and they do not forget -it now. Rev. Dr. Woodworth, of the M. E. Church South, and Hon. -Mr. Chamberlin. President of the School Board, were also present, -and spoke kindly words of approval of the objects of the meeting. -The leading paper of Vicksburg devoted a column and a half to a -favorable account of the proceedings. An old colored man, whom I -saw violently gesticulating as I was going down Court-House Hill, -said, “That meeting was worth one million dollars to our people.” -God grant it may be so.</p> -</div> - -<div class="article"> - -<h4><i>Plaquemine.</i></h4> - -<p>The crowning meeting of the campaign was in the town of -<em>Plaquemine, Parish of Iberville</em>, on Saturday night, July 28th.</p> - -<p><i>Hon. T. T. Allain</i>, one of the most enterprising colored men in -the South, and one of the most consistent friends of education, -took the meeting in hand at the start, and spared neither time nor -money to bring it to the notice of the whole people. This meeting, -in all its appointments, was so unusual that I shall be pardoned -if I describe it quite minutely. We were met by a committee of -reception at the depot, and escorted to the hotel. One hour in -advance of the meeting, a large cannon, planted in the court-house -yard, made a tremendous salute, causing the very village to -tremble. Peal after peal went forth, each seeming louder than the -last. Torches were lighted and planted thickly in the court-yard, -which, by their glare and smoke, gave a weird look to the hundreds -of dusky faces gathering around them. A large brass band, with a -full complement of pieces, added to the novelty and effectiveness -of the scene.</p> - -<p>Think of it, dear friends! This was not a political meeting. It was -not a barbecue. It was simply a meeting called in the interests of -education among the colored people of Southern Louisiana, which has -always been regarded a “<em>pretty dark strip of woods</em>.” Well, now -for the meeting itself! Mr. Allain gracefully<a class="pagenum" name="Page_305" id="Page_305">[305]</a> and ably presided, -and made a speech which did credit to his head and heart. For two -hours that densely packed assembly listened to Prof. Hitchcock -and myself with unflagging interest, manifested by frequent -applause. The Court-House and court-yard were filled, and our -audience without and within the building gave us a respectful and -appreciative hearing. Plaquemine has been called the “banner” town. -<em>We</em> certainly have no desire to dispute her claim to the honorable -distinction, for the treatment we received there was “<em>royal</em>.”</p> - -<p>The meeting at <em>Donaldsonville</em>, July 12th, was a union of the -Baptist and Methodist congregations, and will result, we trust, -in the awakening of a new interest. I should be glad to speak -particularly, had I not reached the limit of my space, of meetings -held by Prof. Hitchcock at West Baton Rouge, St. Sophie, New Texas -and Beauregour, and visits to Monticello, Darrowville, and Point -a la Hache, where many of the families and homes of the students -were seen. Everywhere he was awarded a warm welcome. People rallied -to the meetings, sometimes from a distance of 12 miles. Genuine -enthusiasm was aroused, and the tide of public sentiment has been -turned, we believe, more strongly toward the “<em>School-House</em>,” and -that was our only object. The “door of opportunity” is fairly open. -Ought we not to enter it and tell the entire people the glad story -of education?</p> -</div> - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<div class="article"> - -<h3>A WORD FROM TILLOTSON INSTITUTE.</h3> - -<p class="secauth">PRES. W. E. BROOKS, AUSTIN, TEXAS.</p> - -<p>It is due the many donors and friends of Tillotson that a brief -report of the work of the past year be made. It is a pleasure to do -this, both because due and because of the hopeful prosperity which -has attended the institution.</p> - -<p>The land upon which to place the new dormitory and the buildings -for the mechanical department, when funds shall be secured, has -been bought at a cost of $5,000—$1,250 of which was from the Hon. -J. H. Raymond, of Austin. Some progress has also been made in -obtaining subscriptions for the new hall, which is imperatively -needed to meet the pressing demands which are made upon us from all -parts of the State. How urgent this call is may be inferred from -the fact that on the 2d day of last October, one day before the -opening of the school, Allen Hall was full to repletion, and the -work of turning away began, and continued throughout the year, so -that it is safe to say that for every one received one was refused. -We had one hundred in our boarding department during the year. This -necessitated placing four students in the larger rooms, and three -in nearly every other—too many by far, but there seemed to be -no other way. They begged to be received, while the two or three -already in the room, urging us to admit one more, made it difficult -to refuse. Put yourself, dear reader, in our place, and you will -appreciate our condition, and why we allowed this crowding process. -It was the best that could be done under the circumstances. Besides -the one hundred in the boarding department, we had ninety-one day -pupils, making our total attendance during the year 191. We have -no primary department. Our numbers would have been very greatly -increased if we had had the room to store them.</p> - -<p>In educational and religious results the past year has been -our best. More and better work has been done. The training has -been more thorough and systematic, and the real progress more -satisfactory. This was to be expected. Each year increases largely -our own knowledge of the work and how best to do it.</p> - -<p>Our religious services have been more largely attended and richer -in results. A goodly number found Christ, and gave clear evidence -of a change of heart. One in particular, who had been intemperate -and profane to a sad degree, underwent<a class="pagenum" name="Page_306" id="Page_306">[306]</a> a complete transformation. -Our Sunday school was well attended, drawing in quite a number from -the outside, while our prayer meetings, on Sunday and Thursday -evenings, were pleasant and profitable.</p> - -<p>The temperance society, with a pledge prohibiting the use of both -rum and tobacco, embraced nearly every student of the institution. -They gave evidence that they had joined for life. Many of them are -doing good work in this direction, in the schools where they are -now engaged in teaching. We have reason to feel deeply grateful for -the advancement along the whole line of our threefold yet one work.</p> - -<p>Our closing exercises won the praise of the many who were present. -Among these were Gov. Ireland, ex-Gov. E. M. Pease, Hon. Mr. Swain, -Comptroller of State, Judge Delaney of the Court of Appeals, Prof. -Hogg, at the head of the schools of Fort Worth, and many other -prominent citizens of Austin.</p> - -<p>Able addresses were made by all of the above gentlemen and others; -but among them all none was more cordial and appreciative than that -of Gov. Ireland. He urged the students to continue to press onward -and upward, assuring them that the hour was close at hand when -merit will determine every man’s position, and not the color of his -skin. All, including those named, expressed themselves surprised -and pleased at what they saw and heard. It was the brightest day in -our history.</p> - -<p>This brief summary of the work of the past year indicates, but -cannot fully unfold, our need of more room. Young men and women -in the same building is an unfortunate necessity. It is the best -and only thing that can be done with safety to the work, and even -this is full of danger. Then to be forced to refuse admittance -to so many is unpleasant. We ought to keep the streams flowing -toward us, and not turn them in other directions or cause them to -cease flowing altogether. As our only institution in the great -Empire State we ought to provide liberally for it, that it may -carry forward the work so auspiciously begun. No field can be more -inviting. Nowhere in all the South is there a more Catholic spirit. -Everything conspires to insure large returns on all investments -in this department of Christian effort. Are there not friends who -will now come forward and render us needed help in the hour of our -necessity? Twenty thousand dollars in cash or approved pledges and -the new hall will be begun. Some two thousand are already secured. -Monuments of finest brass will perish through the wearing passage -of the ages, but those erected for the uplifting of a race are -imperishable.

Last Sunday the 20th year to a day since my marriage, -I resolved to be a Christian, but thought I would wait till the -middle of the week before starting. On last evening (Monday) I -drove my team down to the boat for passengers, but on finding that -I would probably have to carry them back and hence be kept from the -meeting, I drove away and attended church. When the invitation was -given I could wait no longer; went forward, gave my heart to Jesus, -and to-day I am a new man, not ashamed to tell the world. I was so -glad that I wish others could this afternoon in the praise meeting -speak for my Saviour, whose pleadings I have so long withstood. I -wanted to write you these<a class="pagenum" name="Page_307" id="Page_307">[307]</a> words, because I knew you were anxious -for my salvation. How glad have I been always to meet you. No man -would I rather see or hear talk than you. You have caused me to -shed many a tear, but you didn’t know it. Oh I am so glad that -the Lord spared me that I might return to Him.

W. C. POND, SAN FRANCISCO.</p> - -<p>I trust that our friends do not forget how God has begun to fulfil -the prayer which the motto of our mission, “China for Christ,” -and the hearts of our Chinese Christians sent up during so many -years, in the establishment by the American Board of a Mission in -China to co-operate with ours, and to reach, first of all, the -swarming millions in those districts from which our immigrants -have come. In connection with the departure of Bro. Hager to this -field, our Congregational Association of Christian Chinese gave -$500 in cash, and one of its best members and my best helpers as a -co-laborer. Bro. Hager has established his head-quarters at Hong -Kong and has gathered there a school similar in all respects to -ours in California. But this is only a rendezvous. The main work -is elsewhere, preaching the gospel and scattering the word of life -on the main land. Lee Sam is busy with this already; enduring -hardness as a good soldier, and working almost alone. But he will -not be suffered to work long alone. Our helper for years past at -Sacramento, Lem Chung, sailed for China more than six weeks ago, -and has already, we hope been welcomed at Hong Kong. Sustaining for -years a relation to the Chinese of Sacramento every way equivalent -to that which an American pastor sustains in the community where -he labors, he so commended himself by his mental capacity, his -faithfulness, his Christian spirit and consistent walk that while -our Chinese brethren clung to him as few American churches do to -their pastors, he was also “of good report,” or, as the revision -reads it, “has good testimony from them that are without,” both -Chinese and Americans. Whether he will remain permanently in China -is not decided, but so long as he does remain, I doubt not he will -be ready for every good word and work. And now three others among -our helpers, Hong Sing of Santa Cruz, Wong Him Wong of Stockton -and Lou Quong of the West School in this city, are making ready to -depart. They go together. They hope to begin missionary work on -the steamer. They hope to continue it when they reach their native -land. We shall miss them greatly. They have approved themselves -in our service, workmen that needed not to be ashamed, rightly -dividing the word of truth and illustrating its power in their -consistent lives. But with reference to our great purpose, “China -for Christ,” our loss is a gain, and we gladly take others to fill -the vacant places, hoping that these too, trained to preach by -preaching and to teach by teaching, will follow their brethren to -the dark regions across the wide sea.</p> - -<p>At the time of this writing, a fortnight remains before the close -of our fiscal year. Toward the $12,500 which our work for the year -<em>must</em> cost, we have received in cash and pledges $11,800. To find -$700 more within these two weeks seems to be quite impossible, -by virtue of any resources remaining within the superintendent’s -reach. He repeats over to himself: “My God shall supply all your -need;” he recounts to himself the many mercies past; and how, again -and again, in his own experience, what seemed impossible has come -to pass, and still he questions and he doubts, and asking, seeking, -knocking, can do no better than to cry, “Lord I believe, help thou -mine unbelief.” Before this reaches the eye of our readers, the -fiscal year will have closed, and the account will be made up: yet -<em>not so closed</em> but that if any of our readers are willing to share -with me the load which open doors and proffered harvests have laid -upon me, their help would be most welcome and most <em>timely</em>.</p> -</div> - -<p><a class="pagenum" name="Page_310" id="Page_310">[310]</a></p> - -<hr class="full" /> - -<div class="article"> - -<h2>BUREAU OF WOMAN’S WORK.</h2> - -<p class="secauth"><span class="smcap">Miss D.

They have basted 1,465 blocks of -patch-work and sent to seven teachers in Texas, Tennessee, Georgia, -North Carolina and Ladies Island; have basted also 49 handkerchiefs -“from pieces of cloth, to teach the children to sew, and give them -what they needed.” Postage $5.22. They have also corresponded with -several pastors and teachers. The Secretary says; “I am delighted -with some of the correspondence, and enjoy the work very much; am -so glad to help even a little in this good work. I love some of the -dear teachers very much, and it has all come through their dear -letters, heart touching heart, and all for Jesus. Thank you for all -the interest you have taken to help us get started, and for your -aid right along; we have had no names except what you have given -us.” This society has proved very efficient, and they have been so -grateful for the privilege of working, it has been a pleasure to -find them opportunities; it has done them good as well as others. -Some of these letters have been read in their missionary concerts, -and awakened an increasing interest in the community.</p> - -<p>A lady in Chesterfield, Ill., formerly a teacher in Utah, and some -young friends have basted 300 blocks of patch-work for teachers in -Arkansas, North Carolina and Tennessee, feeling, she says, “that -our greatest privilege is to work for the Lord.”</p> - -<p>A letter came to us from Middleboro, Mass., saying, “I am very -anxious to do something for the missionaries, and, as I am an -invalid, and unable to give money, I thought I could cut and baste -patch-work if nothing more.” Recently we received a card stating -“I have sent 600 blocks to Chattanooga, Tenn., I would be glad to -do more, but am now unable to do any kind of work, but hope to -sometime, if ever so little.” In answer to inquiries, this lady -says: “The work I sent Mrs. S—— I did lying on my reclining chair -nearly as flat as a bed; but have been confined to my bed many -weeks at a time, and suffering more than words can <a class="pagenum" name="Page_311" id="Page_311">[311]</a>tell.” Surely -this service performed for the Master, in such weariness and pain, -shall not lose its reward.</p> - -<p>From Claremont, N.H., the question came: “What can a mission circle -do for Christmas?” We suggested a place as affording ample scope -for their ingenuity and generosity; so “the Sunbeams” (the mission -circle) 25 in number, from six to fourteen years, sent rays of -light and gladness to cheer the hearts of these desolate people -in the shape of picture-frames, book-marks, work and scrap-bags, -mittens, pin-balls, spectacle-cases for the old ladies, etc. The -ladies of this place also sent a box of second-hand clothing, which -was greatly needed.</p> - -<p>There has been much labor in corresponding with so many persons: -69 letters and postals have been written. This includes work only -among the Freedmen, yet we have rejoiced in the interest awakened -in various places by this means, and are glad to help this good -cause in every way in our power. Aid has been given in various ways -and different places, which, including postage, makes $37.24. This -<em>patch-work</em> has become quite an institution, 2,504 blocks have -been sent, greatly helping the teachers in their work, saving their -time and strength, and helping to form habits of industry which -are so essential to the well-being of these women and young girls, -thus fitting them for usefulness in the future. One old lady, who -is much interested in the young, and fond of patch-work, gave us -78 blocks very nicely basted, which were sent to Ladies Island, -so meeting the needs of a young girl whose quilt had come to a -standstill for want of materials.</p> - -<p>In 1882, in order to enlarge our field of operations, we sent -to Dr. Strieby for new names of pastors and teachers among the -Freedmen, and are now able to report that we have forwarded to the -Southern States 1,021 papers and pamphlets, 339 lesson papers, -122 tracts, 74 Scripture cards and 103 Christmas cards; postage -$5.72. Besides these, papers have been sent by several persons -in different States. A teacher in Texas writes, “I should like -Sunday-school papers, temperance, and other tracts, to distribute -as I visit among the people.” “Can make use of the patch-work -and any other sewing prepared; thanks for encouraging words, and -sympathy, we need your constant and earnest prayers.”</p> - -<p>From N.C.—“Your Christmas cards reached us safely; the children -enjoyed their gifts, and received them gratefully. My field is not -an easy one, but I am endeavoring with the Master’s help to plant -and replant fruitful seed. Any good reading matter is acceptable. -I need material for my sewing school (one dozen spools of cotton -and six crochet needles, were sent to this school by two young -ladies). Your letter was full of encouragement and good advice, -and strengthened me much. My work is chiefly among the children, -have 50 or 60 in Sunday-school in the morning, and about the same -number attend the Band of Hope every Sabbath afternoon. We have -prayer-meetings every Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday evenings. I -have also a Bible-class for adults, which I teach an hour and a -half every Wednesday evening. Have received the patch-work from -Mrs. M., it is indeed a great help to have it basted, my time is so -occupied.”</p> - -<p>Ga.—The teacher writes: “Thanks for your interest in us, we pay -for our Sunday school papers, for we think the people prize them -more when they pay for them; but I can send what I receive into -the country, where they are very glad of them; sent your roll last -night out twenty-five miles to a place where they have nothing to -help them; have several places to which I can send, and profitably -use all I receive. We are trying to give the people a little -instruction in mission work; and take up a collection once in three -months; this people need nothing more than to understand that -<a id="Err_2" name="Err_2"></a>there -are others as poor as themselves, and they certainly are very poor, -but, as they receive, they must also give; true growth comes from -looking out. Our day school has over 100, and our Sunday school -nearly as many more,<a class="pagenum" name="Page_312" id="Page_312">[312]</a> some coming four or five miles, and have been -<a id="Err_3" name="Err_3"></a>very enthusiastic in their work. My scholars are looking forward to -teaching. Last summer 14 were out, and more will probably go this -summer. We are hoping to give them better ideas of religion, that -they may help to change the character of the coming generation. We -have organized a <a id="Err_4" name="Err_4"></a>“Woman’s Missionary Society.” They are to meet from -house to house, taking their supper with them; think it will go far -toward making them better housekeepers, as well as teaching them -to make things, which they will sell, and so get a little money -into their treasury, then they can send a dollar to some cause in -which they are interested. Pray for the success of this society for -through it, I hope to reach the homes, and there is so much to be -done in the homes before there can be much improvement.”</p> - -<p>We have had cheering words from pastors in Arkansas and Kentucky, -telling of souls converted, Christians revived and children -gathered into Sunday schools. Our papers have been given where -there is great destitution of reading matter.</p> - -<p>At Christmas a few cards and papers were sent to a pastor in -Childersburg, Ala. He writes: “I want to thank your class for -their gifts to the children, who are destitute of such things. -<a id="Err_5" name="Err_5"></a>Our -church was burned a year ago, after a temperance lecture, but the -people are building better than before. We held services in our -church last winter without a stove, and the house all open, yet we -trust the Lord was with us; our school numbered 30 or 40 during the -cold weather and a larger number when pleasant. There are many who -cannot read, and many who can have no Bibles.”</p> - -<p>We have been much interested in these pastors and teachers, some -of them have made great sacrifices, and though not appreciated by -those who should sustain and encourage them, future generations -will rise up and call them blessed. We are very grateful to all the -kind friends who have helped us in our work by papers, postage, -patch-work, and in various ways and places, especially for the -Christian sympathy extended to these pastors and teachers. It has -been duly appreciated, and lightened many a burdened heart; so we -trust our “Paper Mission” has not been a failure in the Southern -States.</p> -</div> - -<div class="article"> - -<hr class="full" /> -<h2>CHILDREN’S PAGE.</h2> - -<hr class="chap" /> - - -<h3>A TALK WITH THE CHILDREN.</h3> - -<p class="secauth">MISS IDA M.

A half hour later -the mother passed, and it dawned upon me, then, that it was the -“last day of school.” Afterward, riding by the school-house, and -peeping in, I saw rows of bright children and many happy parents -and friends. It brought to my mind<a class="pagenum" name="Page_314" id="Page_314">[314]</a> another “last day,” where -were children dressed by just as loving hands in their white -lawns, and pink and cream buntings. Their songs were just as well -sung—perhaps better—for a lady, after spending a day in a public -school of a New England city, wrote: “The children are trained by -a music teacher who receives $800 a year, but their singing could -not be compared to that we heard by the pupils of ——,” referring -to these of whom I am telling you.

I’ll tell you why by and by.</p> - -<p>Have you studied U.S. History? And do you remember the story of our -late Civil War? Then you know that one result of it was that nearly -four million slaves, who were owned by other people, to be bought -and sold like any other property, were made free.

Set right in among the pine -trees are little log cabins, the homes of many of these people. -Owning little farms, raising their rice and corn, cotton and sweet -potatoes, they seem very happy indeed.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg -Literary Archive Foundation - -Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide -spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of -increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be -freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest -array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations -($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt -status with the IRS. - -The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating -charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United -States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a -considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up -with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations -where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND -DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular -state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate - -While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we -have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition -against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who -approach us with offers to donate. - -International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make -any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from -outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. - -Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation -methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other -ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To -donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate - -Section 5.
