could do more towards its support4 ,would1 too1 that we could have one of his earnest ,christian ,chinese workers in our own city4 ,i have just been reading the ,june number of the ,,missionary1 and

,after the work of the ,association had been presented in a comparatively small church near ,boston1 the pastor arose1 and with earnestness and deep feeling said1 ,what are we going to do about it8 ,shall we let this great work be delayed because of our inaction8 ,let us now take a collection of one hundred dollars6 ,this seemed an impossible thing to do to the visiting ,secretary4 ,they brought back in the bags one hundred and ten dollars1 the extra collection of this comparatively small church6 ,it makes a heap of difference whether the pastor follows the ,secretary's address with such cordial and enthusiastic endorsement or not4 ,i am glad to testify that there is a good deal of this cordial co-operation on the part of pastors in ,new ,england4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,civil ,,rights ,,in

prosecuted the proprietor4 ,a jury in ,chicago has just given him a verdict of #abe damages4 ,the defence asked for a new trial on the ground that the judge had prejudiced the jury by his instructions2 the judge denied the motion1 stating that if he had been on the jury he would have made the fine #ejj4 ,the defence is seeking a compromise1 with the threatened alternative of an appeal4 ,mr4 ,smith1 standing for the principle1 will abide the final act of the court4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,timhaka ,,ta ,,ivangeli4 ,we are very proud of this book as being the first literary production in an ,african language of one of our graduates at the ,south1 the ,rev4 ,b4,f4 ,ousley1 now of the ,east ,central ,africa ,mission4 ,the missionaries there have already reduced the language to writing1 having formed a vocabulary of over three thousand words1 and from it have printed a few books4 ,among them1 is the one whose title appears above4 ,it is a translation of ,the ,story of the ,gospel1 in a little volume of two hundred and six pages4 ,we have read it with great interest so far as we have been able to understand its dialect4 ,within our comprehension we find ,jesu1 the one word in all languages for all people1 ,simone ,petro1 ,johane1 ,marta1 ,maria1 and ,lazaru and many other such proper names4 ,we congratulate our young people at the ,south that so soon they have a representative performing such literary work for the people of ,africa4 ,much of such work seems drudgery1 but it is necessary to opening the light of life to the people who sit in darkness4 ,a booklet in the same language gives a catechism and some of the songs of the gospel1 ten of which are translations by ,mr4 ,ousley of some of the dearest of the gospel songs4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,south4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,what ,i ,,found ,,in ,,the ,,cumberland ,,mountains4 ,,by ,,rev4 ,c4,w4 ,,shelton4 ,first4 ,there are living in this mountain country two millions of white people1 until recently isolated from1 and untouched by1 the civilization of which we are so proud4 ,no centennial anniversary commemorates their growth in wealth and intellect4 ,as their fathers lived1 so until recently1 have they4 ,one hundred years have witnessed but little progress1 almost no change1 in their condition4 ,the open fire-place1 the spinning-wheel and the home-spun jeans are familiar sights4 ,forgotten by the rest of the world1 they1 in turn1 forget that beyond these mountain peaks1 marking the limit of view and generally the limit of interest1 a nation has pressed forward to take its place among the foremost of the earth4 ,and yet no color line has excluded1 no reservation boundary separated1 this people from their fellow countrymen4 ,their lack of energy and the stagnation of their minds1 is the explanation of this condition of things4 ,secondly4 ,i found this mountain people naturally ,american2 in deepest sympathy with our free government2 loyal to the old flag in the hour of its greatest danger2 fighting1 suffering1 dying1 that the ,union might be preserved4 ,to one who has spent any length of time on our western prairies settled so largely with an emigrant people1 the great difference between the ,american born and educated people of the mountains1 and the naturalized ,american of the prairie1 constantly emphasizes itself4 ,here no new language has to be acquired1 no new form of government understood4 ,a common interest1 a common sympathy1 a mother country1 binds one at once to this people as it never can to the ,american importation which is found at the ,west4 ,thirdly4 ,i found homes and a home life1 or rather the want of it1 which one would hardly believe possible among a white population in this country4 ,the following illustrations are correct representations of what ,i found to be average mountain cabins4 ,seldom do they contain more than two1 often only one1 room4 ,a single window1 an open fire-place1 and a few home-made articles of furniture1 comprise the whole4 ,the home is begun when its founders are yet children4 ,ignorant and poor1 the boy has took up with the girl1 and it may be they are legally married4 ,a building-bee is announced1 a little cabin erected1 a few pigs bought or given1 a few trees girdled1 some corn planted1 in so crude and shiftless a way that even an ,indian1 in his first attempts at farming1 would be ashamed to own it1 and home life is begun4 ,into this home of poverty and ignorance come the children4 ,the families are large--eight1 ten1 twelve1 and sometimes more4 ,the mother is too ignorant herself to instruct1 and had she the ability1 neither time nor strength to accomplish it are at her command4 ,life to her is a struggle4 ,at twenty she looks thirty-five1 at thirty-five she is old4 ,always she has a tired1 hopeless expression1 which simply to look at almost starts the tears4 ,the children have something of the same expression2 the babies even seem to realize that it is a sober1 sad world they have come into4 ,i do not remember seeing a laughing1 cooing baby in all the cabins ,i visited4 ,illustration3 ,,mountain ,,cabin4 ,illustration3 ,,mountain ,,cabin4 ,educationally1 ,i found this people far below the emigrant on the prairie4 ,seventy per cent4 of the whole two millions cannot read or write4 ,the schools are the poorest4 ,the school houses are built of logs2 a hole is cut for the window2 the ground serves for a floor1 slabs for seats1 and the teacher is strictly in keeping with all4 ,bare-footed1 hair unkempt1 snuff stick in her mouth1 scarcely able to read herself1 she is the example--the ideal toward which her pupils are to strive4 ,religiously1 ,i found that these people1 almost without exception1 were professors1 and had jined not a ,christian church1 but some one of these native mountain pastors4 ,the accompanying illustration gives a good idea of the mountain church2 it is built of logs1 and is without windows2 the pulpit is an unpainted board2 the seats slabs from the nearest saw mill1 turned flat side up1 with pegs driven in for legs4 ,the ministry is in strict keeping with the church1 and intellectually little in advance of the people4 ,they take pride in the fact that ,these yer home-spun jeans have never brushed no dust from off no college walls1 and exultantly declare that ,the ,lord taught me how to preach3 and when the ,lord teaches a man how to preach1 you may just reckon he don't make no mistakes4 ,illustration3 ,a ,,native ,,mountain ,,church4 ,on every hand1 ,i found indications that the day of isolation for this people is rapidly passing away4 ,yankee inquisitiveness has discovered that these mountains are full of the best coal and iron--,northern capital has already begun to strip them of their rich forests of black walnut1 oak and pine4 ,the rivers are carrying these logs by the thousands to the immense mills1 which in turn are making the large towns1 toward which already the railroad is hastening4 ,engineering skill is bridging streams1 crossing valleys1 climbing mountains or piercing them through4 ,on every hand we see the change4 ,from their long sleep of a century1 these valleys1 these homes1 this whole people are awakening4 ,a new life is beginning1 a new future1 opening4 ,and as a result of all this1 ,i found a field of missionary work1 which for opportunity and need has perhaps no equal in our country4 ,amidst all this change1 a people1 startled from their long separation1 find themselves suddenly called to face1 to compete with1 to become a part of1 our life1 our intellectual advancement2 to move with our energy1 and work with our skill4 ,realizing their weakness1 suddenly roused by their necessity1 they are sending across their valleys and over their mountains the ,macedonian cry1 ,come over and help us6 ,our duty to this people1 whether we look at it from the standpoint of the ,christian or the citizen1 is beyond the measure of words4 ,here1 as everywhere in the ,south1 ,i found that the ,american ,missionary ,association1 as representative of our ,northern ,christian sympathy1 was at work4 ,its normal schools1 fitting teachers to go out and displace the bare-footed1 ignorant1 snuff-stick-chewing school mistresses2 its churches1 fitting mothers and fathers to enter upon their duties conscious of their responsibility2 and its missionaries1 bringing in an intelligent ,christian life1 and driving the curse of the country--intemperance--out of the home1 community and the county1 are thus meeting the need1 and answering the cry1 and fulfilling the obligations4 ,below is a cut of one of the buildings of the ,academy at ,williamsburg1 ,ky41 recently erected among these people4 ,illustration3 ,,williamsburg ,,academy1 ,,ky4 ,i found one worker where the field called for a dozen2 one school where we should have twenty2 one church where we should have a hundred2 one scholar received into an over-crowded school house1 when its doors should open to scores4 ,i found one missionary with nine organized churches on his hands1 and he the only pastor2 the extremes of his parish being seventy-five miles apart4 ,and lastly1 on returning to ,new ,york1 ,i found an empty1 a worse than empty1 a debt-burdened treasury1 forbidding all advancement in this field4 99 99 99 99 99 ,anniversary ,exercises4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,fisk ,,university1 ,,nashville1 ,,tenn4 ,,by ,,district ,,secretary ,c4,j4 ,,ryder4 ,fisk ,university fills a large place in the educational institutions of the ,south1 and commencement week occupies an important place in the college year at ,fisk4 ,when the inhuman caste prejudice passes away1 the ,congregationalists of the ,north will discover the encouraging fact that the ,american ,missionary ,association has planted ,congregationalism in the ,south to stay4 ,fisk ,university and other such institutions1 filled as they will be by young men of every class and color1 will be strongholds of our ,new ,testament faith and polity4 ,such a ,commencement as was observed at ,fisk this year does much to bring about that blessed day4 ,this ,commencement week1 beginning ,thursday1 ,june sixth1 and closing the evening of ,june twelfth1 was crowded with literary and musical exercises of high order4 ,president ,e4,m4 ,cravath1 ,d4,d41 delivered the baccalaureate sermon1 taking for his subject1 ,building on the ,rock4 ,it was a sermon of great power4 ,rev4 ,dr4 ,gray1 a ,southern ,episcopal clergyman1 preached the missionary sermon4 ,on ,thursday evening1 came ,the ,senior ,preparatory ,exhibition4 ,on ,june seventh1 tenth and eleventh1 the various class examinations were held1 and in the evening of ,friday the seventh1 the anniversary exercises of the ,literary ,societies were given4 ,there are three healthy and vigorous societies at ,fisk1 and it was difficult to tell which of the three gave the best evidence of the superior quality of its drill1 in the exercises presented4 ,the ,normal ,department graduated a class of four1 each presenting an essay4 ,rev4 ,c4,w4 ,hiatt1 of ,cleveland1 ,ohio1 delivered the address at the close of the exercises of the normal department1 taking for his subject ,earnest ,living1 and the address was spoken of with high appreciation by those who heard it4 ,the graduating exercises of the ,collegiate ,department were of unusual interest4 ,there was not a poor oration or essay presented4 ,the breadth of training given to the students at ,fisk was especially noticeable in the wide range of subjects selected4 ,the anniversary of the ,alumni ,association gave evidence that the graduates of ,fisk are true to the instruction of that institution1 when they take up their work in the world4 ,sixty-seven have graduated from this institution2 forty-two are teachers2 eight1 ministers2 three1 doctors2 two1 editors2 two1 foreign missionaries2 eight1 lawyers2 one is a student2 and one a real estate agent4 ,pretty good showing for ,fisk6 ,the annual oration was delivered by

of students1 alumni and friends1 the enthusiasm and interest manifested1 and the report of what has been accomplished during the past decade1 showed the hold it has obtained on the hearts of the people4 ,the exhibitions of ,cassady ,school1 which is the feeder for the higher grades1 were held the week previous4 ,large and delighted audiences listened to the creditable performances of the young people1 who showed in their parts the faithful work of teachers4 ,on ,sabbath morning1 the baccalaureate sermon was preached by ,secretary ,c4,j4 ,ryder1 of ,boston4 ,many valuable and practical lessons for the graduating class were drawn from his somewhat unique text1 ,and falling into a place where two seas met1 ,acts #bg3da4 ,various currents in life will bear us hither and thither unless we are founded upon the rock and there abide4 ,the closing words telling of the inscription upon an ancient cross1 teneo et tenior1 will long abide as an inspiration and help with those who heard4 ,at #d ,p4,m4 the ,sabbath-school prayer meeting gathered together students and teachers in a tender farewell1 and at night the missionary sermon was preached by ,rev4 ,e4,j4 ,penney1 of ,selma4 ,the examinations of ,monday1 ,tuesday and ,wednesday gave evidence of thorough work and of painstaking study4 ,on ,wednesday night1 four young men1 graduates of the ,theological ,department1 were ordained4 ,the sermon was preached by ,rev4 ,a4,f4 ,beard1 ,d4,d41 the ordaining prayer offered by the ,president1 a most appropriate charge given by ,pastor ,snell of ,birmingham1 and the right hand by the ,moderator1 ,rev4 ,j4,r4 ,sims1 of ,shelby ,iron ,works4 ,the graduating exercises were held on ,thursday morning4 ,six students received diplomas from the ,normal ,course1 and five were graduated from the ,theological ,department4 ,essays and orations showed thought and originality1 and were well delivered4 ,if all the noble sentiments expressed are carried out in the lives of the speakers1 a class has gone out from our walls who will make a stand for truth and righteousness1 manly men and faithful womanly women4 ,after the conferring of diplomas and the awarding of prizes1 ,president ,de,forest gave a resum of the growth of the college during the ten years of his connection with it4 ,the number of students has increased from #bjc to #dbg1 instructors from #i to #ah4 ,in this time1 theological graduates have passed from #g to #bh1 and normal from #ah to #fd4 ,the alumni dinner was partaken of with relish by graduates and invited guests1 and after the physical man had been refreshed an intellectual feast was spread4 ,older graduates testified to their indebtedness to the ,college which by one1 quoting the words of another1 was said to be de main spring ob de fly wheel ob de whole conjunction4 ,visiting friends spoke of their interest and satisfaction in the work of the school1 and ,drs4 ,beard and ,haygood1 with appreciative and hopeful words1 fittingly closed the festivities4 ,on ,thursday night1 ,dr4 ,a4,g4 ,haygood1 ,secretary of the ,slater ,fund1 the steadfast friend of the black man1 gave an address4 ,his eloquence1 wit and earnestness held a large audience in close attention for more than an hour1 and he left with them much matter for thought4 ,teachers and pupils have now said good-bye and college halls are vacant1 but the work of the year will bear fruit as scores of students go out to the labors of vacation in the dark and needy districts of the ,south4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,straight ,,university1 ,,new ,,orleans1 ,,la4 ,,by ,,president ,r4,c4 ,,hitchcock4 ,the interest shown by the public in the annual exercises of this school increases each year1 and for those of more general nature it is quite impossible to obtain a room large enough to accommodate the audience that assembles4 ,the baccalaureate sermon was preached on ,sunday night by ,president ,hitchcock at ,central ,church4 ,on ,monday night1 the ,sumner and ,philomathean ,literary ,societies and the ,band of ,mercy held their anniversary meeting1 and listened to a very interesting lecture on ,life at a ,german ,university1 by ,rev4 ,g4,w4 ,henderson4 ,wednesday night1 came the annual concert and exhibition4 ,this has for two or three years gradually taken more and more the character of an exhibit of the gymnastic exercises1 singing1 etc41 from each grade1 and with so large a school1 gives a long programme2 but since people here have learned that at ,straight ,university1 when the appointed time comes the exercises begin1 every spot where a chair could be put in an aisle1 or a foot stand1 besides all the pews both below and in the spacious galleries of ,central1 one of the largest churches in the city1 was occupied at the moment assigned for opening1 and the attention was grand until the very last4 ,on ,thursday night1 the ,alumni ,association met at the ,university ,chapel for election of officers1 adjourning later to the parlors for a social meeting4 ,these ,alumni meetings grow each year in numbers1 interest and importance4 ,papers were read by several members1 the usual history1 prophecy and poem were given1 remarks were made by others and some good music was rendered4 ,many who could not come sent interesting letters4 ,friday night was the great occasion4 ,the crowd was no less than on ,wednesday night1 and that such an audience should sit1 giving close attention1 from #g3cj to #aa3cj1 to the orations and essays of the graduates1 with no sign of weariness1 was to me a wonderful thing and showed a deep and heart-felt interest1 in the community1 for ,christian education1 which is grandly encouraging4 ,two of the graduates were from ,mexico1 one from ,mississippi1 one from ,plaquemines ,parish1 one from ,baton ,rouge and five from this city1 the proportion from the city being larger than usual4 ,members of the ,trustee ,board and others who have heard these exercises for many years1 without hesitation pronounce them as a whole far better than those of any previous year4 ,it is certain that each year there is shown a marked advancement in general intelligence and culture1 and in the depth and arrangement of thought4 ,the venerable ,judge ,whittaker1 who seldom leaves his home at night1 was on the platform1 and at the close of the valedictory1 which was given by ,leonidas ,burbridge1 of ,greenville1 ,miss41 he jumped from his chair1 seized the young man by the hand and expressed his wonder and gratification at all he had heard and seen1 saying that in all his fifty years of life in ,new ,orleans he had seen nothing that so filled his heart with emotions of astonishment and joy4 ,i neglected to speak of the meeting on ,sunday morning1 ,may #bfth1 of the ,college ,y4,m4,c4,a41 which has had a very prosperous year4 ,the ,association was addressed by ,mr4 ,fred ,s4 ,hitchcock on ,y4,m4,c4,a4 work in the great cities1 and by ,mr4 ,perry on ,college ,y4,m4,c4,a4 work4 ,the year has been a good one1 notwithstanding many adverse circumstances4 ,the establishment of a regular graded course of study1 from the lowest primary grades to the college1 and close adherence to such course are being felt more and more each year4 ,more than half the graduates of this year began their education in the school1 and all interested are proud of them4 ,there is all along a marked difference between those who have come through our own primary schools and others equally capable who have had no systematic early training4 ,for the first time since the course of study was adopted1 every class this year has thoroughly completed the work assigned1 and in most cases reviewed it4 ,the ,state has been in a condition of great excitement during most of the year1 nearly one-half the parishes being under a complete reign of terror1 and it has been a frequent thing to see one of our students from the country1 especially from the southern parishes1 in tears in consequence of the intelligence of some friend1 father or brother perhaps1 having been the victim of some dastardly outrage from the regulators4 ,tales of sorrow and suffering could easily be gathered to fill volumes4 ,iberia1 ,terrebonne and ,lafayette parishes have been especially noted as under this reign of terror1 and from these we have many pupils4 ,three sisters of ,sammy ,wakefield1 who was shot at ,new ,iberia1 are in our school1 and many others closely connected with suffering families4 ,it has been very difficult for the colored people to get a living1 and the sacrifices they make to keep the children in school are wonderful4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,le ,,moyne ,,normal ,,institute1 ,,memphis1 ,,tenn4 ,,by ,,prof4 ,a4,j4 ,,steele4 ,another year has passed in the history of our work at ,le ,moyne ,institute1 and its eighteenth anniversary has been celebrated with the graduation of a class of eleven1 and the tenth reunion of an alumni association numbering some seventy five members4 ,recalling sixteen years of experience in connection with this work1 ,i can fix upon scarcely a single event or circumstance that has not been made to conduce to the advancement of our work and influence in the community1 and looking over results in all directions1 they have surpassed the dreams and expectations of the most hopeful4 ,the year past has been a remarkable one in our history4 ,our attendance has varied little from four hundred pupils in all grades of the twelve years' course1 while our enrollment for the year has reached five hundred and twenty different pupils4 ,every interest of the school has been prospered and greatly blessed and strengthened4 ,the utmost harmony and earnestness has marked the work of the year1 both among teachers and pupils4 ,during the past session1 as many as sixty of our pupils have started out in the ,christian life1 giving evidence of change of heart and an earnest purpose to live for ,christ and ,his work in the world4 ,we rejoice over this more than over all other results of our year's work4 ,the whole spirit and tone of our work has been such that even our trials and losses1 from fire and from breaks in our working force1 have seemed to be turned to means of blessing and sources of strength4 ,our trials and difficulties have been to us opportunities4 ,we look forward hopefully to the future1 as we look thankfully back to the past4 ,our partially destroyed building1 from the fire of ,march #c;d1 is rebuilt and greatly improved4 ,we hope our corps of instructors1 so uniformly faithful in the discharge of duty1 may remain unbroken1 the same for the coming year4 ,at the close of the term1 the promotions were made in all grades by the principal1 and the pupils given the forms they are to occupy the coming year4 ,in truth1 the formal ,commencement for the year was made at the close of this session4 ,every pupil knows exactly his grade and place1 and few will be absent at the opening1 ,october first4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,avery ,,institute1 ,,charleston1 ,s4,c4 ,anniversary week of this ,institute is always an occasion of the deepest interest to the colored people of ,charleston and vicinity2 and those who succeed in obtaining tickets of admission to ,avery ,hall consider themselves most fortunate4 ,this year proved no exception1 and the demand for tickets1 and the enthusiasm of those in attendance1 have never been surpassed in the history of the school4 ,the exercises throughout the week were of a high order4 ,the ,sub-,normal ,exhibition and the ,prize-,speaking ,contest by the normal classes were unanimously declared to be the best ever given in ,avery4 ,at the commencement on ,wednesday1 every foot of space within sight or hearing of the platform was filled by intelligent and appreciative listeners4 ,eleven graduates--ten ladies and one gentleman--received the diploma of the ,institute and joined the hundreds who have preceded them in the grand work of elevating their race4 99 99 99 99

hundred and six miles north of ,montgomery1 and seventy-four north of ,mobile4 ,it has a population of about two thousand five hundred1 and is quite thrifty4 ,alco is a mile and a half further south1 on the same road1 and is a nice little village of five or six hundred people1 that has grown up within the last three years1 and almost wholly out of the ,peters ,lumber ,company4 ,the property of the ,company consists of one of the largest and finest mills in the ,south1 with nearly #bjj1jjj acres of yellow pine surrounding it4 ,some three hundred colored men1 most of them with families1 are employed in the various operations of the mills4 ,mr4 ,peters is engaged most of the time in his large lumber and salt interests at ,manistee1 ,mich41 but comes ,south two or three times a year to look after the business at ,alco4 ,from the first1 it was the purpose of the ,company to do something to improve the church and school facilities of the colored people1 and last spring1 while ,mrs4 ,peters was spending a few weeks at ,alco1 she had a building #cex#fj erected1 and nicely arranged for church and school purposes4 ,this she turned over to the ,american ,missionary ,association1 and they at once sent down ,rev4 ,w4,p4 ,hamilton1 of ,talladega1 to open a school and begin preaching4 ,the second ,sunday in ,june1 he was joined by ,prof4 ,g4,w4 ,andrews1 of ,talladega1 ,rev4 ,r4,c4 ,bedford1 of ,montgomery1 and ,rev4 ,f4,g4 ,ragland and ,deacon ,godbold of ,mobile1 to assist him in dedicating the building4 ,though but little was known of ,congregationalism in that part of the country1 the services were entered into most heartily by all classes of the people4 ,most of the ministers at ,brewton1 in charge of colored churches1 closed their places of worship and joined with us1 partaking in the services1 and speaking with great delight of the coming of an educated preacher and teacher among them4 ,mr4 ,hamilton starts off with over fifty pupils in ,sunday and day school1 and hopes soon to have members enough so that he can take steps to call a council and organize a church4 ,the brethren of ,alabama are greatly encouraged by this movement4 ,heretofore we have had no church or school between ,montgomery and ,mobile1 one hundred and eighty miles4 ,now the distance is divided1 ,alco standing about half way between the two places4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,children',s ,,day4 ,,by ,,rev4 ,j4,e4 ,,smith4 ,the #ith of ,june last was a grand day for the young people in the ,first ,congregational ,church at ,chattanooga4 ,the church was tastefully decorated with appropriate ,scripture mottoes1 choice evergreens1 beautiful flowers and sweet singing canaries4 ,there was present a large number of adults and a larger number of clean1 sweet1 hopeful children1 and many laughing1 cooing babes in the arms of their ,christian parents1 who like faithful ,hannah and good ,mary of old1 had brought their babes to the house of ,god to present them to the ,lord4 ,after the rendering of a beautiful voluntary by the organist1 the whole congregation joined in singing that grand hymn1 ,holy1 holy1 holy1 ,lord ,god ,almighty6 ,the pastor then read a few passages of ,scripture selected for the occasion1 giving a short comment on the same1 and prayed for ,god's blessing on the young4 ,while the congregation joined heartily in singing1 ,heavenly ,father1 send ,thy blessing1 ,on ,thy children gathered here1 ,christian parents who desired to present their offspring to the ,lord1 having been invited1 came forward and stood before the altar with their little ones in their arms4 ,six bright-eyed1 innocent babes were1 on the faith of their believing parents1 consecrated to ,god in the ,christian ordinance of infant baptism4 ,it was a most beautiful1 pleasing and impressive service4 ,after singing1 ,take my life and let it be1 ,consecrated1 ,lord1 to ,thee1 the pastor invited all children1 calling them by name1 who were ten years of age and had been baptized in the church when infants1 to come forward4 ,the church1 then1 through its pastor1 at a cost of twenty-three dollars1 presented to each child1 7nineteen in number7 a beautiful1 well-bound copy of the ,bible1 with the following written on the fly leaf3 ,this ,bible was presented to ---- by the ,first ,congregational ,church at ,chattanooga1 in commemoration of his infant consecration to ,god at her sacred altar1 by his ,christian parents4 ,john #e3ci4 ,after taking a collection of ten dollars and twenty-four cents for the ,congregational ,sunday-school and ,publishing ,society1 we sang ,god be with you till we meet again1 and the benediction was pronounced4 ,thus1 a very interesting and we trust profitable service of an hour and twenty minutes was ended4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,indians4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,letter ,,from ,,miss ,,collins4 ,no facts in this field can be of more interest to the readers of the ,,missionary than those contained in the following thrilling account of the conversion of three young ,indians in ,miss ,collins' mission field4 ,we give the facts as written by this self-sacrificing missionary4 ,last ,sabbath1 ,mr4 ,riggs came up from ,oahe and we had communion1 and there were five children baptized and seven grown people1 and seven more were examined and advised to wait till the next communion4 ,it was a most interesting season4 ,three of the young men were the leaders in the ,indian dance4 ,they have always been the head ones in all ,indian customs4 ,a year ago1 one of them said in the dance that he should follow the ,indian customs a year longer--give himself up to them wholly and try to be satisfied1 and if he had in his heart the same unsatisfied feeling1 the same longing1 that he then had1 he should throw it all away4 ,on last ,new ,year's day1 the same young man1 ,huntington ,wolcott1 came to me and said--,last night ,i arose in the dance and told them that ,i had given the old customs and the old ,indians a fair trial1 and that they did not satisfy1 now ,i should leave them forever and give myself to ,god1 and if any others were ready to follow to arise and so make it known4 ,the other two leaders arose1 stood silently a moment1 and walked out4 ,from that time they have given themselves up to singing1 praying and studying the ,bible4 ,they had1 for two years1 been halting between two opinions1 attending the school1 church1 etc41 and the ,indian feasts and dances1 too4 ,these three having come out so boldly on ,god's side1 has made a great change in our work here4 ,poor old ,running-,antelope feels very sad4 ,it is his desire to keep the young men from learning ,christianity and civilization as long as he can4 ,he wants them to have everything in common1 and to feel that for an individual to accumulate anything is a disgrace4 ,as long as they feel so1 of course squalor and suffering will be the natural consequences4 ,the young men are working hard to build up homes and to accumulate something for their families during the winter4 ,one young man has cut logs and is building a house4 ,i try to teach them that long prayers and loud singing is not all of ,christianity--that however regularly a man attends to his church duties1 if he fails to provide for his family1 his religion is vain2 and if he gives all his goods to his friends and lets his wife and children cry for bread1 that their cries will reach the ears of ,god1 and his prayers and hymns will be lost in this round of wailing of the hungry4 ,all this is very different from their old ,indian doctrine and hard to understand4 ,elias1 our native teacher1 has formed a class of young men who meet every ,tuesday night and talk and pray and sing together1 and he directs their thought4 ,i think it will prove very helpful4 ,then on ,thursday night ,i have my ,bible class1 which now numbers about twenty4 ,it is formed of the young men and women who wish to follow ,christ's example1 and band themselves together to learn of him4 ,it has been the training school of the young ,christians4 99 99 99 99 99 ,what could be more encouraging than such facts as these8 ,an ,indian unattended by any white person1 dissatisfied with the religion of his fathers1 walks out of heathenism2 out of sympathy and connection with his tribe2 out of the religion and customs of his fathers and into the customs of civilized life1 into the ,kingdom of our ,lord ,jesus ,christ6 ,in the words of that quaint old ,negro hymn1 let those who so earnestly desire the conversion of the ,pagans in ,america exhort one another to

occupying separate buildings and a separate locality1 and managed by the ,american ,missionary ,association4 ,a recent visit to the school it may be worth while to report4 ,it is for the ,apache ,indians and the youth who are gathered into it are of the ,jiccarrilla band4 ,their reservation is about two hundred miles west1 and is reached by railroad or by pony transportation4 ,the teachers deem it better to have the school some distance from the people so as to make its impression the more positive1 and yet near enough for the parents to visit their children occasionally while at school4 ,this keeps up the interest and prevents the children from being educated away from their elders4 ,two good sized buildings are used4 ,in one there are the school rooms1 the accommodations for the teachers1 and the lodgings for the boys4 ,in the other1 under a matron1 there are lodgings for the girls1 work rooms for the same1 and the boarding department for all4 ,the ,indian girls do the cooking for the establishment4 ,i saw them getting dinner and ,i saw many loaves of beautiful white bread made by them4 ,in their work shop they make their own clothes4 ,the boys1 under the lead of the principal1 ,prof4 ,elmore ,chase1 work at cobbling1 making ditches and cultivating the soil1 and also do something with carpenter's tools4 ,the ,government pays over a hundred dollars a year for each student toward the expense of board1 clothes1 etc4 ,the ,american ,missionary ,association appoints the teachers and directs the school4 ,the scholars1 thirty in all1 have made very creditable progress in their studies1 considering the short time the school has been in operation1 from three to four years4 ,prof4 ,whipple1 now of ,wheaton ,college1 who for a time was principal of the ,ramona1 testifies3 ,i never saw on an average such aptness1 docility and faithfulness in school and industrial work4 ,the religious influence of the school has not been interfered with by the ,government4 ,i heard the scholars recite with promptness and evident understanding the ,twenty third ,psalm1 the ,beatitudes1 the ,commandments1 the ,lord's ,prayer1 and portions of a catechism introductory to the ,westminster ,shorter4 ,daily worship is maintained among them1 the ,sunday-school lesson is thoroughly taught1 while the ,bible is freely used in the school4 ,the ,professor thought that several of the youth gave such evidence of an experience of grace as would satisfy us concerning white children4 ,i was permitted to see half a dozen letters written by the scholars to be sent to their parents and brothers and sisters1 without the supervision of their teachers1 in which were many expressions of love for the ,saviour and the ,bible1 and of a desire that their friends at home should be made acquainted with the same1 and the purpose1 when they should go home1 to communicate those good things4 ,the following are four of those letters3 ,,ramona ,,indian ,,school1 ,,santa

morning1 ,june #agth1 ,i left home for a visit to our missions at ,oroville and ,marysville4 ,i reached ,oroville at about #g3cj ,p4,m4 ,as soon as possible ,i was at the ,mission ,house1 where warmest greetings from teacher and pupils awaited me4 ,the lessons of the evening received our first attention1 for it is a principle with us that each scholar shall have the ,english lesson promised him1 whoever may be present and whatever else we may desire to do4 ,this is the demand of good faith1 and not less of good policy4 ,it is the ,english lesson that holds them where the gospel can reach them1 so that this we must never forego4 ,when all this was accomplished1 those who could read with comparative ease were gathered about a table for a sort of ,bible reading1 which ,i proposed to give them1 in the fifteenth chapter of ,luke4 ,this was the manner of it3 ,one of them read the first verse1 being helped over the hard words1 then ,i explained it in as simple ,english as ,i could command2 then the reader translated both it and my explanation into ,chinese1 each other pupil keeping watch to see whether what was said expressed the ideas which he had received from me4 ,at this time1 we were much aided by the co-operation of ,yong ,jin1 our missionary helper1 whose translations ,i could depend upon quite confidently1 but ,i often give these readings without such help1 feeling quite sure that if six or eight have received the same idea1 they have received the one ,i meant to give4 ,when we had finished the first verse1 a second pupil read the second verse with the same method1 and so on4 ,some felt unequal to the task of translating1 but most were willing to try1 and most who tried succeeded strangely well4 ,i had intended to follow this with a few words of exhortation1 but just as we read the last verse1 ,yong ,ack arrived4 ,this is a brother who was converted about a year ago4 ,his daily work is that of a cook in a way-side inn1 about six 7some said eight7 miles from ,oroville4 ,he has been accustomed to walk this distance1 over a rough and dusty road1 to attend1 not often the school1 but the religious services of our mission4 ,he can seldom reach the ,mission ,house before nine1 but the meetings begin when he arrives and continue till he is ready to start away4 ,as this brother was to be baptized on the following evening1 the ,bible reading was suspended with a promise from me that ,i would speak from these words the next evening1 and we all addressed ourselves to a study of the ,confession and ,covenant of our little ,chinese ,church at ,oroville4 ,it was taken up clause by clause1 read in ,english1 explained1 translated into ,chinese1 and still further explained1 till ,yong ,ack in particular1 and in a general way all the rest of them1 professed to understand and believe it all4 ,when this was finished1 we were well on towards #aa ,p4,m41 and we closed the meeting with song and prayer4 ,the day following was variously occupied1 but in the evening we were all at the ,mission ,house again4 ,the lessons were given1 and then the table was spread for the celebration of the ,lord's ,supper4 ,then came the preaching1 with ,yong ,jin interpreting1 sentence by sentence4 ,the topic--the ,shepherd seeking his lost sheep1 followed by the story of the prodigal son4 ,one could not have asked a more attentive audience4 ,the presence and work of the ,spirit were unmistakable4 ,at length1 a little after nine1 ,yong ,ack appeared4 ,he had been over that road three times that day1 and expected1 before morning to go over it again4 ,but he confessed no weariness either by word or by manner4 ,he was bright1 wakeful1 joyous4 ,he confessed ,christ1 was baptized1 and was welcomed with gladness to the church1 after which we gathered round the table of the ,lord4 ,wednesday and ,thursday were spent in and about ,marysville4 ,both ,oroville and ,marysville are hard fields4 ,in both of them good work has been done in days past1 but the fruits from the seed sown have been widely scattered1 so that in each place but few ,christians remain4 ,our ,chinese ,church in ,marysville1 some years ago was reported--truthfully1 ,i am sure--as in proportion to its numbers and its means1 the ,banner ,church of the country for its contribution to ,foreign ,missions4 ,but now only one member1 a deacon1 resides in the place4 ,he is a cook at one of the hotels1 and is unable to leave his work till about #h3cj ,p4,m41 but he holds the fort sturdily1 bravely4 ,he is an athletic man1 full of energy and courage1 with1 doubtless1 some of the defects which usually attend these qualities1 but honest1 earnest1 consistent1 determined4 ,the first evening was a reproduction of that at ,oroville1 there being also one believer to be baptized4 ,on the second evening1 in view of the ,lord's ,supper and the baptism1 our good deacon1 as soon as his work was done1 was all abroad in ,chinatown4 ,squad after squad he brought1 and seeing them seated1 went out after more4 ,when about #i3ae ,p4,m41 ,i commenced my discourse1 the room was packed4 ,oh1 what joy it was1 what inspiration1 to look into those eyes fixed closely upon me1 and tell them of the love of ,god in ,christ6 ,yong ,jin's quick1 animated interpretations of my sentences were not interruptions1 but seemed to urge me on4 ,i am sure that the ,spirit spoke through me to some hearts1 and that ,i shall see the fruits of that seed-sowing in the better world4 ,after the most careful and repeated statements as to what a partaking of the bread and wine would mean1 and as to the guilt of those who should partake without meaning what they did1 a goodly number1 eight or nine1 ,i think1 who had never before consented to be recognized as ,christians1 did thus profess that they received ,christ as ,saviour and ,lord4 ,they did it in the sight and in the midst of others who did not do it--did it with a painstaking and an apparent determination which encourages my hope that they will hold fast and be led on to clearer light and the full day4 ,reaching home on ,friday noon1 ,i started for ,petaluma on ,saturday morning4 ,that evening was spent partly at the ,mission ,house preaching the word1 and partly at the church preparing our pupils for the parts they were to take in the anniversary exercises on the following evening4 ,our brothers1 ,jee ,gam and ,lem ,chung1 were with me4 ,i see that ,i have already exhausted my space and venture only to add1 that this anniversary service was one of deep interest4 ,the ,congregational ,church at which it was held was crowded1 auditors standing in the doors4 ,all the exercises by the pupils were well rendered4 ,the address by ,jee ,gam and the songs by ,lem ,chung seemed to win all hearts4 ,the report of the year's work at the school was more cheering than any we have been able to make for years2 the collection amounted to about sixty-five dollars1 and last and best of all1 the gospel work done by our ,chinese brethren at the ,mission ,house was the means of leading at least two1 heretofore undecided1 to take their stand clearly and decisively as followers of ,christ4 ,in a later letter1 ,dr4 ,pond adds3 ,it seems that three instead of two1 as ,i have it in my article1 were led to confess ,christ at ,petaluma last ,sunday4 ,one other was almost persuaded1 but said he must first send home to ,china the bones of his father4 7,matt4 #h3ba74 ,jee ,gam explained to him that he could do that as a ,christian1 without worshiping his father4 ,but he could not be persuaded4 ,he is a very bright and promising young man1 and ,i hope and pray that this wrong decision may not cost him his salvation4 ,jee ,gam and ,lum ,chung were so wrought upon by what they saw and by what ,god wrought by them at ,petaluma1 that they came back fired with a desire to do something like it at our ,central ,mission ,house4 ,this is what ,i have long wished for1 but could never seem to inspire the brethren with courage to undertake4 ,on ,tuesday evening the first of a series of meetings was held there4 ,the room was crowded4 ,some scoffed1 some tried to seem indifferent1 but all heard the word1 and one took a stand for ,christ4 ,the brethren take hold well1 each one contriving to make himself the center of a group of heathen1 so as to go right to work in the after-meeting4 ,pray for them4 99 99 99 99 99

woman who thinks we owe it to the ,freedwoman to put into her life and home something of the sweetness and purity of our own2 to the ,indian woman a sympathetic effort for her uplifting1 in atonement for a ,century of ,dishonor4 ,third4--,every woman who thinks that if she1 or her sister or daughter1 were heroic enough to share the labors and sacrifices of a home missionary1 she ought to have some better place to live in than an old grocery1 a room over a saloon or the basement of a church4 ,fourth4--,every woman who thinks that if she were an inmate of a ,mormon home she might not have grace to welcome the companionship of the second1 third or tenth woman who might be sealed by celestial marriage to her husband4 ,fifth4--,every woman who thinks there are worthy young men trying to prepare themselves for ministerial or missionary work whose struggle with poverty ought to be relieved4 ,sixth4--,every woman who would welcome for her own children1 if she were living in some ,godless community1 the ,sunday-school missionary and the books1 papers1 lesson helps1 prayers and ,christian songs which make the ,sunday-school a place of blessed influences4 ,if there be in any ,christian church a woman who will respond to none of these calls for service to the extent of a moderate annual membership fee1 say twenty-five cents1 she has missed the true import of the ,gospel and has never entered into its most blessed privileges4 ,let us assume that there is no such1 but that rightly approached1 every woman worthy a place in the church will be willing to enroll herself into at least the passive membership of the local society4 ,,ii4--,the management of this new membership1 presumably uninformed1 indifferent1 possibly prejudiced1 will require familiar acquaintance with our six benevolences1 sympathy with them all1 much practical wisdom1 good courage1 and the spirit of ,i ,corinthians1 #acth chapter4 ,the ,president must do more than preside at the meetings4 ,she must plan every detail2 must know beforehand what hymns1 what ,scripture lesson1 who shall lead in singing and in prayer1 what reports1 what letters1 what original papers1 what selections1 what business4 ,everything must be carefully planned and written down1 yet there must be withal a certain amount of elasticity of management1 so that the timid question may be answered1 the objection removed1 the enthusiasm expressed4 ,the ,president will welcome strangers and greet the diffident and neglected4 ,she will not be surprised at seeing anybody at the meeting4 ,it was reasonably to be expected4 ,the ,secretary will do more than keep the minutes of the meetings4 ,she will not forget the proper public announcement of the meetings and will add special invitations to such as may not feel themselves included in the general4 ,she will send for such printed helps as are needed for use4 ,she will fill out distinctly and promptly such blanks as are needed for ,conference1 ,state or other ,reports1 and her quarterly and annual reports will be helpful from their information and their inspiration4 ,the ,treasurer will do more than passively receive what is brought to her hands4 ,she will see that no one is overlooked when a canvass is made for any object2 that pledges are redeemed2 that the way is made easy for the poor to give without embarrassment and the rich without ostentation4 ,she will see that all moneys are forwarded as designated and that they go through the ,state ,treasury4 ,but the highest qualification any local officer can possess1 is the ability to transfer members from the passive to the active list4 ,some practical hints toward this result maybe gathered from the following suggestions3 ,aim at unity of effect for each meeting4 ,make some one of the six benevolences the subject1 and center everything--,scripture1 hymn1 prayer1 letter1 paper1 leaflet1 about the single topic4 ,suppose it be ,missions on our ,western frontier4 ,ask some lady to prepare a fifteen minutes' paper4 ,give out in addition six back numbers of the ,home ,missionary to as many ladies1 asking each to select a paragraph or short article bearing directly on the subject and which she thinks will1 or ought to1 interest the meeting4 ,let several of these ladies be chosen from the passive list--the diffident or even the indifferent4 ,in making their selections1 they will perhaps have made their first acquaintance with missionary magazines and will have learned something about the heroism of our home missionaries4 ,moreover1 they will have participated in the exercises4 ,this1 repeated with variations1 will give them courage to speak1 and intelligent thoughts to express4 ,they are on the way to active participation4 ,crown the exercises with a collection4 ,the leader must know how to kindle enthusiasm and put it to the tangible proof4 ,the subject for the next meeting may be some branch of the work of the ,american ,missionary ,association1 as ,indian ,missions in ,dakota4 ,assign to some one a paper1 an historical sketch4 ,she will need books from the missionary library4 ,ten years among the ,dakotas1 and ,mary and ,i2 or1 ,life among the ,sioux1 7to which she would never think of going for help unless informed that the ,dakotas and ,sioux are one47 ,she may also send to ,miss ,emerson for further helps4 ,then1 in addition1 give out back numbers of the ,american ,missionary to two or three passive ladies1 asking them to make short selections concerning ,indian missions--or let one read ,prof4 ,g4,f4 ,wright's leaflet--,indian ,missions as seen upon the ground--and another some missionary's letter4 ,call out expressions of interest in the work--proofs of its success--etc41 and ask if we ought not to do something for its support4 ,give to everyone present a small envelope with the request that it be brought to the next meeting with a free will offering for ,indian missions4 ,the next meeting may be devoted to ,christian work among the ,mormons1 using the ,new ,west ,reports1 ,the ,gleaner1 newspaper extracts1 missionary letters and1 if possible1 have the experience of some one who has visited the schools and the homes of sin-cursed ,utah4 ,having awakened deep interest1 the proposition to procure a lecture or a musical entertainment and devote the proceeds to the ,new ,west ,commission will probably find favor and be carried on to success4 ,for the next meeting1 choose another object1 as ,parsonage ,building4 ,distribute copies of the ,church ,building ,quarterly and again the indispensable back numbers of ,the ,home ,missionary1 and have extracts read which show the discomfort1 and even distress1 which come to the family of the home missionary4 ,propose aid in the form of a birthday offering1 in which every member brings in an envelope as many cents as she is years old4 ,the result may be surprising4 ,for other objects other plans1 but in every case the way should be prepared for intelligent giving4 ,it has sometimes resulted favorably to secure1 at the beginning of the year1 pledges for some definite1 well understood object1 as a teacher's or missionary's salary1 or a share in one1 which should apparently but not really exhaust the resources of the society1 and have the payments made as early in the year as practicable4 ,then pursue intelligent study of the other fields until the time is ripe for proposing generous aid to the one which appeals most strongly to the combined judgment and sympathy4 ,and so on through the year1 in which time the six benevolences can all be reached4 ,this somewhat irregular method of procedure has perhaps no better defence than that it has been known to produce good results4 ,a society the intelligence and consecration of whose members could be relied upon would doubtless find the plan of monthly pledges1 to be divided according to some accepted schedule1 much easier4 ,no special labor would have to be expended to make the need apparent1 or to awaken sympathy for the object1 or to choose the best means of attaining it4 ,gifts would be systematic and uniform throughout the year and could be counted upon4 ,the machinery1 well oiled at the start1 would run smoothly and quietly1 and woman's work would not be made unpleasantly prominent4 ,but it seems doubtful whether as many gifts would flow into the treasury and whether the gifts would be accompanied by as much interest1 sympathy and prayer4 ,the hints concerning management thus far presuppose a ,home ,missionary ,society organized on the modern basis of a programme of devotional exercises and various mission studies1 and do not apply to those cases in which such exercises have been engrafted upon a sewing society with a long line of ,dorcases as ,presidents1 and antecedents too respectable to be ruthlessly set aside4 ,how shall a sewing society be so modified as to best subserve the present home missionary needs8 ,do not create friction by attempting a sudden and complete revolution4 ,propose that the brief devotional exercises with which such gatherings sometimes close be placed a little earlier than usual1 that there may be time for some interesting missionary letter or some inspiring leaflet1 or other selection1 or better still1 an original paper on some live topic4 ,when about the usual season for beginning the missionary box arrives1 prepare a symposium on the subject of boxes4 ,select and distribute brief paragraphs from the magazines concerning missionary debts1 from missionary letters concerning unpaid salaries1 and lead gradually up to the question whether if we were missionaries we would rather receive a box or a check for an unpaid salary4 ,which would best enable a minister to look his creditors1 who are also his parishioners1 in the face--the new pulpit suit or cash to pay off accumulated bills8 ,in trying to decide between box and salary1 the society may decide for both1 and a point is gained4 ,when box preparations begin1 assign them a proper place in the meeting4 ,do not permit papers and addresses to be sandwiched between rolling quilt frames and turning down refractory hems1 or punctuated by requests or signals for scissors1 thread1 and bits of gingham2 and do not spoil garments by working with divided attention4 ,give each its hour or its day4 ,best of all1 when a box is in preparation1 sew early1 late1 and often1 till it is despatched4 ,then resume the studies1 being especially careful to have their first resumption provided with an attractive programme4 ,in all cases when studies have been grafted upon sewing1 encourage the graft4 ,it ought to yield better fruit than the original stock4 ,it should be the constant aim of those in charge of local societies to inspire in the membership intelligent interest in the six branches of our work--to cultivate a spirit of liberality toward them all--to create in every member a desire to aid them all4 ,only with such an aim can the local society achieve its highest usefulness4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,receipts ,,for ,,june1 #ahhi4 ,,maine1 #abc4bj4 ,augusta4 ,joel ,spalding1 to const4 ,,miss ,,nettie ,r4 ,,spalding ,l4,m4 #cj4jj ,bangor4 ,central ,ch4
