99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,treasury4 ,it will encourage the contributors to the great work entrusted to us1 to know that the friends of the ,a4,m4,a4 are enabling us to make a very hopeful report up to this date4 ,if those who have not shared in the work of the ,association as yet1 this year1 will make a corresponding effort with those who have done so1 we shall have reason to hope that we can go to our ,annual ,meeting in ,chicago1 owing no man anything but love and good will4 ,but those who have waited are many1 and we are waiting and depending on these4 ,those who have not taken their contributions have the power to convert our hopes into realities4 ,we appeal1 therefore1 to the pastors whose collections for this fiscal year have not been taken to take their collections and forward them to our treasury before the close of ,september4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,as ,,to ,,methods4 ,we have been thinking that the methods of ,christ were divine as well as his truth1 and that when the ,christian world will use ,christ's methods in the propagation of truth there will be a great advance upon some features of the present4 ,dr4 ,parkhurst has some very suggestive sentences in this line of thought in a sermon on ,the ,regenerative ,force of the ,gospel4 ,his words are3 ,christ never patches4 ,the ,gospel is not here to mend people4 ,regeneration is not a scheme of moral tinkering and ethical cobbling4 ,in the ,gospel1 we move into a new world and under a new scheme4 ,the ,gospel does not classify with other schemes of amelioration4 ,this accords with our thought of the methods of ,christ4 ,the way to meet that which is wrong1 is to meet it as a wrong4 ,we shall not do well to ameliorate it4 ,if we may not expect those who have been raised amid prejudices and ignorance to be leaders for the absolute rectitude of things1 those who have not lived where this excuse is available should be the leaders4 ,if some do not lead1 none will follow4 ,where principles were at stake1 ,christ never gave way to prejudices4 ,he never yielded to that which was in itself wrong4 ,if those to whom he ministered could not come up to his standard1 then he waited1 but he never compromised4 ,that which is right should not yield to that which is wrong4 ,it may take a right hand4 ,it may take an eye4 ,but ,if thy right hand offend thee1 cut it off1 and ,if thy right eye offend thee1 pluck it out4 ,he would not cut it off by amputating the finger and gradually disjointing it up to the mark2 and plucking out the offending eye is not to bandage it so that it temporarily does not see the evil to which it is attracted4 ,no1 the ,gospel is not a system of repairs4 ,it is not here to temporize1 but to make all things new1 and it strikes at the heart of evil and not at its surface4 ,it was not ,christ's method to ignore an evil which confronted him4 ,he did not evade or get around issues4 ,he met them4 ,he answered them4 ,he was an incarnate conscience in the land4 ,he knew what was in man4 ,his followers cannot fail when they walk closely with him in the path which he has made plain4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,five ,,questions4 #a4--;,if the ,georgia ,association had been without any colored members in it1 would the ,georgia ,conference ever have been formed8 #b4--;,if the ,georgia ,association had been without any colored members1 would the ,georgia ,conference have declined to unite with it1 on some one of the terms submitted by the ,georgia ,association8 #c4--;,if the ,georgia ,association had been without any colored members1 would this curious and ingenious scheme of co-ordinate and equal bodies1 to elect delegates to visit each other now and then ever have been concocted8 #d4--;,is it worth while to darken counsel with words as to methods1 when it is evident that the purpose is1 not to form any union which would be other than humiliating to a colored man1 and contrary to the heretofore held principles of the ,congregational ,churches8 #e4--,why these arguments to show how not to do it1 when to do it would be so simple and so evidently ,christian8 ,n4,y4 ,independent4 99 99 99 99 99 ,a ,,mid-,,summer ,,leaf ,,of ,,the ,a4,m4,a4 ,,catechism4 ,q4 ,when are ,home ,missions properly so called8 ,a4 ,when they are ordained to save the unevangelized people of the land in which they dwell4 ,q4 ,when are missions properly called ,foreign ,missions8 ,a4 ,when they are missions to foreigners in a foreign country4 ,q4 ,are missions among the ,indians in this country1 ,foreign ,missions8 ,a4 ,they are not1 though the ,indians have been treated as foreigners1 which has been the source of great wrongs and many sorrows4 ,q4 ,are missions to the ,chinese in this country1 ,foreign ,missions8 ,a4 ,they are not1 though the ,chinese are refused the privileges accorded other foreigners4 ,the missions of the ,a4,m4,a4 on the ,pacific ,coast are most fruitful and hopeful1 and1 since these foreigners return to ,china1 there is an interblending of ,home and ,foreign ,missions here1 that is full of promise4 ,q4 ,are the missions of the ,a4,m4,a4 in the ,south1 ,foreign ,missions8 ,a4 ,they are not1 though they have been successful in exciting interest for ,africa among the students of their schools4 ,some of these are now foreign missionaries2 others are preparing to go2 but the missions of the ,a4,m4,a4 in the broadest sense are ,home ,missions1 for they minister to white and black as to citizens of a common country1 who alike need the ,gospel4 ,the ,a4,m4,a4 is planting white churches 7so called7 every year1 and has added several this year1 though none of them would refuse membership to a man because he is black1 and is planting colored churches 7so called71 none of which should be excluded from ,state ,associations merely because of color4 ,q4 ,should the missions of the ,a4,m4,a4 be called ,foreign ,missions because its schools and churches cannot win the co-operation of the ,christians among whom they live8 ,a4 ,they did not at once win the co-operation of ,christians among whom they went1 but confidence has been growing with the years until the cases are exceptional where they do not have the co-operation of enlightened and broad-minded ,christians4 ,in most cases1 the schools and churches of the ,a4,m4,a4 have won both confidence and gratitude throughout the ,south4 ,southern men are among the trustees of its institutions1 and everywhere its ,field ,superintendents and ,secretaries are greeted with cordiality4 ,a prominent editor of a ,southern political paper--white and democratic--testifies this month3 ,yours is the most practical missionary work ever undertaken by a ,christian body1 and should have the hearty and unstinted support of all ,christians4 ,the cases are few where good will does not exist between its teachers and ministers and the white people among whom they live4 ,q4 ,does not social ostracism show that the white teacher is engaged in a ,foreign ,mission8 ,a4 ,social ostracism is gradually giving way among the more intelligent ,christian people4 ,nothing1 however1 dies so hard as prejudice1 and nothing is so cruel2 but missions do not cease to be ,home ,missions1 because they may be where there is sinful prejudice and dense ignorance4 ,q4 ,what would be ,foreign ,missions in the ,south8 ,a4 ,missions in the ,south which would treat an entire race as foreigners and aliens because in ,god's wisdom he has seen fit to make them black1 would be foreign to the spirit of the ,gospel3 ,for ,he is our peace who hath made both one1 and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us4 ,through ,him1 we both have access by one ,spirit unto the ,father4 ,now1 therefore1 ye are no more strangers and foreigners1 but fellow citizens with the saints and of the general household of ,god1 and built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets1 ,jesus ,christ himself being the chief corner stone2 in whom all the building1 fitly framed together1 groweth into a holy temple in the ,lord4 ,missions in the ,south which exclude pastors and delegates from ,associations and ,conferences1 would be foreign to the ,gospel4 ,missions in the ,south founded upon an aristocracy of skin1 would be foreign to the spirit of the ,gospel4 ,missions which would preach against caste in ,india1 and perpetuate it in ,america1 would be foreign to the methods of ,christ1 and to ,christian methods in foreign lands4 ,q4 ,does the ,a4,m4,a4 believe in mixed churches of white and black people8 ,a4 ,the ,a4,m4,a4 does not regard it as at all probable that such churches will exist to any great extent4 ,race tastes and race affiliations will make for churches essentially white and essentially black4 ,but to close the door on any ,christian is in so far to make it an unchristian church4 ,to go into the ,south and establish white churches from which1 whether by a formal law or by an unwritten but self-forcing edict1 men are excluded because ,god made them black1 is to deny one of the fundamental tenets of ,christ4 ,there is no need to attempt to corral all men of all races in one enclosure1 but for any church1 especially a church of the ,puritans1 to enter upon a missionary work in the ,south and initiate it by refusing to fellowship a black man because he is black1 is to apostatize from the faith in order to get a chance to preach the faith4 ,the doors of every ,christian church ought to stand wide open to men of every race and color1 and in all representative bodies these churches should be one4 ,q4 ,is this the position of the ,roman ,catholic ,church in its ,southern work8 ,a4 ,it is3 ,the ,roman ,catholic ,church would not for a moment recognize any color-line in its assemblies or priesthood4 ,q4 ,does the ,a4,m4,a4 believe in the social equality of the races8 ,a4 ,the ,a4,m4,a4 has never seen any social equality anywhere1 and believes and teaches nothing about it4 ,it believes in the ,fatherhood of ,god and the brotherhood of man4 ,q4 ,is the ,a4,m4,a4 agitating the color-line question8 ,a4 ,it is not4 ,it always has proclaimed its principles for the interests of the oppressed1 and always has championed the cause of ,god's poor1 pleading for the right because it is right4 ,q4 ,why is the ,a4,m4,a4 in the ,south doing its work in schools and churches among white and black8 ,a4 ,because the ,lord has said2 ,behold1 ,i have set before thee an open door1 and no man can shut it4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,cars1 ,,the ,,church1 ,,the ,,courts4 ,our esteemed brother1 ,rev4 ,g4,c4 ,rowe1 pastor of the ,plymouth ,congregational ,church1 ,charleston1 ,s4,c41 and his associates1 on their return from the meeting of the ,joint ,committee on the union of the ,georgia ,association and the ,georgia ,conference1 were forcibly transferred to an inferior car on the ,georgia ,railroad4 ,they were not driven from the train1 they were allowed to ride1 and the car in which they rode was connected with the cars containing the white passengers4 ,they were simply separated from the others and that only because they were colored persons4 ,the reception these honored ministers of ,christ met in the ,joint ,committee was very much of the same sort4 ,the white brethren did not deny them their place in the church--nay1 the two bodies1 white and colored1 were to be connected together1 but these colored brethren were to be kept separate and that only because they were colored persons4 ,an appeal will be made to the courts1 but the interesting question is3 which will be first to recognize the equal manhood of the colored man-- the cars1 the courts or the church8 ,would it not be a shame to the church and a dishonor to the ,christian name if the church should be the last8 99 99 99 99 99 ,speaking of the race problem1 in his baccalaureate sermon at ,vanderbilt ,university1 recently1 ,bishop ,galloway1 of ,mississippi1 of the ,methodist ,church1 ,south1 startled his hearers by the following vigorous declaration3 ,it is a travesty on religion1 this disposition to canonize missionaries who go to the dark continent1 while we have nothing but social ostracism for the white teacher who is doing a work no less noble at home4 ,the solution to the race problem rests with the white people who live among the blacks1 and who are willing to become their teachers in a missionary spirit4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,work ,,of ,,the ,,american ,,missionary ,,association ,,and ,,foreign ,,missions4 ,,by ,,rev4 ,,frank ,b4 ,,jenkins4 ,the ,american ,missionary ,association has done both home and foreign missionary work4 ,there is nothing in its constitution or traditions to prevent its doing the same again4 ,providence1 however1 seems to indicate clearly that its work at present be within the ,united ,states4 ,while in this sense it does home missionary work1 the peculiar conditions of the people among whom it mostly labors require largely the methods of foreign missions4 ,it must supply the school1 as well as the church2 industrial training as well as that which is intellectual and moral4 ,it must create a native ministry and develop native workers of all kinds4 ,in fact1 it would be hard to find on foreign mission fields a single kind of activity which is not duplicated in the fields of the ,american ,missionary ,association4 ,home missions aid foreign missions by creating the conditions of more income and more missionaries for foreign fields4 ,the work of this ,association has done this already to some extent2 without doubt it is to do it to a far greater extent in the future4 ,in taking people from the ignorance and poverty of slavery and savagery1 it could not be expected to form them at once into large givers or efficient workers for foreign fields2 but who can say1 after the marvels of the past twenty-four years1 what the future shall show1 when the coming millions shall arise and1 out of gratitude for what they have received1 give of their increasing means and send forth their sons and daughters to tell the glad story of freedom1 truth and love4 ,it has been a favorite idea of many that the ,negroes of ,america should evangelize ,africa4 ,perhaps some have been disappointed that so few of them have gone to ,africa as missionaries2 but such1 ,i am sure1 have failed fully to consider the facts4 ,a people who had received only the degrading tuition of slavery could not produce at once many who should have the reliable qualities and the intellectual and moral training needed for the responsible and1 to a large extent1 the unsuperintended work of a foreign missionary4 ,then1 every capable preacher1 teacher and leader has been needed in a hundred places at home4 ,they could scarcely be justified in leaving their own brothers and sisters in heathenism and without the truth within their reach1 to go to the heathen abroad4 ,yet a few have gone forth and proved themselves capable1 faithful and successful4 ,a former slave of ,jefferson ,davis is not only a successful missionary in ,africa1 but has proved himself such a level-headed man that he has been chosen treasurer of one of the missions of the ,american ,board4 ,such as he are an earnest of what shall be1 when the colored people shall be more fully evangelized and the appeal for ,africa can be made strong to their hearts and consciences4 ,then there will be such a going forth as will astonish the ,christian ,church4 ,the bearing of the work for the one hundred thousand ,chinese in this country on foreign missions can be clearly seen4 ,christian work for them is missionary work for ,china--it sends them back to become missionaries to their native land4 ,the fruitfulness of this work for foreign missions has been fully demonstrated4 ,the possibilities of the influence of the evangelization of the ,indians on foreign missions is a topic which ,i do not remember having seen or heard mentioned4 ,yet it seems to me worth thinking about4 ,mexico has four million ,indians2 ,central ,america1 one million five hundred thousand1 and ,south ,america seven million4 ,here is a foreign mission field of twelve and a half million souls4 ,how can it be otherwise than that1 when once the ,indians of our land shall come to have and appreciate the blessings of a ,christian civilization1 their hearts shall be stirred by the needs of their brethren according to the flesh1 and that they will go to them with the gospel story8 ,there remains one other field--the whites of the ,south and especially the ,mountain ,whites4 ,as a class1 they are poor1 ignorant and needy in every way--materially1 intellectually1 morally and spiritually1 but they are not the poor1 white trash of the ,south4 ,as good blood flows in their veins as in the veins of the ,northern people4 ,a wrong start and their surroundings have made them what they are4 ,give them schools and pure and enlightened churches and they will awake into new life as fast as any people ever did4 ,they will show in years what missionary work can usually show only in decades4 ,in ,williamsburg ,academy1 ,ky41 nearly every boy in the higher classes is expecting to prepare for the ministry1 and that school is only a little over half a dozen years old and is the first one opened in our mountain work4 ,give these mountain boys and girls a chance1 and the people who gave the nation a ,lincoln will give it ministers and missionaries1 not only for the seven mountain ,states1 but also for other home mission fields and for foreign lands4 ,if the ,congregational churches will listen to the call of ,christ and appreciate the opportunity which he has placed before them1 there may be in these mountains1 filled with their marvellous mineral wealth1 ,congregational churches which shall be not only self-supporting1 but give generously for the advancement of ,christ's kingdom throughout the earth4 ,the most generous giver ,i know1 is a native of the mountains and a member of one of our missionary churches4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,rome ,,and ,,the ,,negro4 ,one of our most interesting exchanges is an ,illustrated ,roman ,catholic ,quarterly edited and published by the ,fathers of ,st4 ,joseph's ,missionary ,society of the ,sacred ,heart1 its ,record of ,missions among the ,colored ,people of the ,united ,states4 ,we need not say that we have no sympathy with ,romanism and its errors1 nor with the ,missionary ,society of the ,sacred ,heart1 and its efforts to plant ,romanism among the colored people of the ,south4 ,we can1 however1 but admire the fidelity of the church to its doctrines1 and the ,christian example it gives to all missionary societies in its recognition of man as man4 ,the quotations which we make from the ,roman ,catholic ,quarterly will account for the strong hold that ,romanism is beginning to secure upon the negro race4 ,the following1 for example1 is a ,roman ,catholic tribute to ,john ,brown3 ,on the #bnd of ,december next1 thirty years will have passed since ,john ,brown1 in his sixtieth winter1 ascended the scaffold and gave his life for the colored race4 ,connecticut gave the hero birth--from heroes2 ,new ,york1 in her ,adirondack recesses1 developed in him that spirit of liberty which ,ohio had nurtured1 and is forever honored by his grave2 while ,virginia1 building better than she knew1 bestowed the martyr's crown4 ,it was necessary that one man should die for the people 7,john xviii1 #ad71 and ,god arranged that he who is likewise one of the great benefactors of the human race as well as of his native land should crimson and beautify with his blood the soil that gave a cradle and a tomb to the ,father of his ,country4 ,grand indeed is the greatness of the rock-ribbed ,adirondacks where ,john ,brown lived1 prayed1 thought out his great life-thought1 and made his first trials in the work of emancipation1 but grander is the stone there that marks the grave of him whose mighty spirit is still marching on2 for the greatness of that soul invests the tomb with moral grandeur1 and calls all the astonishing magnificence of unintelligent creation poor4 ,fair indeed are the banks of the ,shenandoah1 and beautiful the landscape on which the dying eyes of the hero rested1 but more lovely far the death of him and of his sons and comrades1--even in death they were not divided 7#bnd ,kings i1 #ai71 because the most beautiful thing in the world or out of it is love1 and he and they died of love for their brethren1 ,god's children4 ,it is truly fitting1 therefore1 that they who were rescued by him from bondage should love and honor his glorious name1 and that we all should chant the praises of the man who was the chosen instrument of ,providence in destroying out of our country the inhuman custom of human slavery4 ,the ,southern ,congregationalist1 published in ,atlanta1 does not have a high opinion of such men as ,john ,brown4 ,we quote3 ,there are men who never are mistaken4 ,if your opinion or plan1 no matter how well sustained1 differs from theirs1 they solemnly greet you3 ,our conscience is our monitor3 we can make no concessions of principle4 ,the case is ended4 ,you may as well make your humble bow and pass on1 leaving them in their lofty and superior place4 ,such men are of little use in the world4 ,they may have a few satellites1 but that is all4 ,it is noticeable how uniformly the conscience and principles of these men agree with their prejudices1 salaries and other interests1 and with changed circumstances how concessions distill from them gently as the dew4 ,we quote again from the ,st4 ,joseph's ,advocate1 as to the color line3 ,man was created in ,god's own image and likeness4 ,this image and likeness is1 however1 not a physical one1 it is a spiritual or soul likeness4 ,the likeness and image of the operation of the human soul--the mind--through the material1 physical medium of the brain1 is not only similar1 but substantially and formally alike in every division of the human race4 ,it thus follows that fundamentally there is an identity of mental or soul activity and action in all the human race4 ,neither color1 nor form1 nor feature1 nor clime1 operates a change on the formal and fundamental identity of human thought as evolved by the human mind4444 ,it follows that the negro race1 thinking the same thoughts1 have the same apprehension of the perfect1 good and true1 and1 thinking in the same lines as the ,caucassian race1 must needs be of the same order of creation1 in the image and likeness of their ,maker1 although physically different in color1 yet in mind and soul the same4 ,this1 too1 removes the theory of the inferiority of races1 and relegates it to the lumber room of the mere physicist or corporal anatomist1 who1 because he cannot find life in death any more than thought1 would deny life as he would deny the soul1 even as ,la ,place would not admit a ,creator--,god-- because he could not see him at the end of his telescope4444 ,naturally working for and under white men1 their industry1 versatility and submissiveness have made many people think they were an inferior race4 ,this cannot be4 ,give them a fair chance in life's battle1 train their minds1 fill their immortal souls with worthy conceptions of the truth as only presented by the ,roman ,catholic ,church1 and you will make of the negro race a kind1 charitable1 intelligent1 worthy ,christian people1 as full of love for the country of their former enslavement as the best patriot descendant of the ,revolutionary fathers4 ,tried in peace and in war when they have received but half the training of the white race1 they have not been found wanting1 but have proven themselves worthy of offices of trust and honor in every sphere of life and as good ,christians as ,god has ever granted ,his divine grace to4 ,his promises are for all nations and for all times1 and necessarily for the negro as for the white man1 all of whom in their souls are created in ,his own image and likeness from the beginning4 ,apropos of ,romanism among the colored people1 ,archbishop ,janssens1 of ,new ,orleans1 writes3 ,last year there were baptized #c1gje colored children and #big colored adults1 which ,i estimate forms a population of about #ge1jjj ,catholics in this ,diocese4 ,we have six convents of colored ,sisters1 of which four are schools1 one an asylum for #gd girls1 and the other an asylum1 for #ba old women4 ,there are1 besides1 nine schools conducted by white ,sisters1 and eleven schools conducted by lay teachers--in all1 twenty-four schools with #a1ccj scholars4 ,it is not bad4 ,at ,emmetsburg1 ,maryland1 the ,roman ,catholics report the following3 ,the ,sisters are putting up a large and fine edifice which will be ready for business in ,september1 and will accommodate all the ,catholic children1 both white-colored and black-colored in the town and vicinity4 ,i am curious to know if this is the first instance in which children of both the dominant races will be educated under one roof4 ,says the editor3 ,how quickly the color-line disappears in the ,catholic ,church4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,notes ,,by ,,the ,,way4 ,,by ,,district ,,secretary ,c4,j4 ,,ryder4 ,not long ago1 ,i met a ,frenchman in the halls of the ,congregational ,house1 who was looking for ,secretary ,coit of the ,massachusetts ,home ,missionary ,society4 ,he evidently had a very limited knowledge of the ,english language1 for he accosted me as follows3--,you--eh1 you somewheres8 ,ah6 ,i begs my pardon4 ,this amusing bungle of the

the pastor of a ,new ,england ,church at the same ,lord's table4 ,the days between these ,sabbaths were filled with pleasant duties1 in talking over the great work of our ,association with the earnest and devoted missionaries4 ,but many things are impressed upon one's thought by such a trip as this4 ,we realize more than ever that the ,american ,missionary ,association is a great ,national ,society1 limited neither geographically nor by any race restrictions2 actually gathering in its schools and missions1 ,negroes1 ,whites and ,indians1 and ,chinese and ,japanese1 and ,hondurans and ,cubans1 and who knows how many other needy and destitute people6 ,another fact that must impress one1 is the thoroughness of the work done4 ,the examinations were thorough and exhaustive in the schools4 ,this was true1 not only in the lower grades1 but also in the advanced classes4 ,dr4 ,andrews conducted the examinations in ,church ,history1 at ,talladega1 which would have done credit to any of our ,theological ,seminaries4 ,and ,dr4 ,de,forest's classes in ,mental ,philosophy gave evidence of careful study and of assimilation of that which they had studied4 ,they had not only eaten1 but had digested their mental food4 ,the same was true at ,fisk4 ,what a grand thing it would be1 if the good friends of the ,association in ,new ,england1 and elsewhere in the ,north1 to whom our work is only presented through an appeal for funds1 might visit some of these grand institutions in the ,south and ,west1 and see just what is being done for these neglected people6 ,the work cannot be appreciated in its vast importance and magnificent results1 except after such a personal inspection of the field4 ,these large institutions are the centers of still larger missionary work outside4 ,one professor in ,talladega1 a graduate of ,harvard1 has been especially busy during the last year1 developing the ,sunday-school work in the surrounding districts4 ,the following are some of the results3-- eight ,sunday-schools enrolling about five hundred scholars2 thirty teachers1 all students in the ,college2 two schools meet in buildings belonging to the ,college1 three in log churches1 owned by other denominations1 not having ,sunday-schools1 two in log cabins4 ,in one school1 teachers and scholars have to huddle together under umbrellas1 if they have any1 or go wet1 if they haven't them1 whenever it rains2 and it is a sight which makes one long for better accommodations1 that more efficient work may be done1 writes this self-sacrificing professor in a note just received4 ,in one house1 he found a family of white children1 all of them very ignorant1 and1 so far as he was able to discover1 there was not a single book of any kind in the cabin4 ,he invited the children to ,sunday-school1 where1 like ,robert ,raikes1 he teaches reading and spelling as well as the ,bible1 but the mother indignantly refused1 saying that she didn't let her children go to school with ,niggers6 ,there are many evidences of heroic sacrifice on the part of the people among whom we labor1 that one runs across in such a trip as this4 ,here is one3 ,a small church in ,alabama has recently voted to pay fifty dollars per month of their pastor's salary1 that they may become self-supporting1 and so let the funds which they have received go to other more needy fields4 ,there are seventy-five persons in this church who might be termed paying members2 of all these1 the pastor informed me1 not more than fifteen receive over a dollar per day2 sixty receive less than this4 ,they pay1 on an average1 ten dollars per month for rent2 there are twenty-six working-days to the month1 and they often lose at least five of these1 on account of weather or lack of work1 making an income of only twenty-one dollars per month4 ,ten dollars going for rent1 leaves but eleven dollars for the support of the family4 ,pretty heroic economy that6 ,the ,annual ,meeting of the ,dakota ,mission1 the ,convention of missionaries who are at work in the ,indian field under the direction of this ,association1 gathered at ,santee ,agency1 ,nebraska1 ,saturday1 ,june #ae1 and was full of interest4 ,sessions were held for three days1 and continued late into the night4 ,thrilling incidents of exposure on the prairie during winter1 swimming swollen and chilly streams1 breaking through the ice when crossing1 which1 in one case1 resulted in the drowning of a team of horses1 seemed to be every-day incidents in the life of these heroic missionaries1 who are carrying on this noble work among the ,indians4 ,the two ,riggs brothers1 whose heredity as well as personal consecration fit them for large usefulness in the ,indian work1 were especially rich in experience and inspiring in conference4 ,one thing1 especially1 impressed me in this ,indian work1 and that was1 the difference in character between the average teacher employed by the ,government and those employed by this ,association and other missionary bodies4 ,many noble men and women are at work under the ,government in teaching the ,indians1 but the purpose of the ,government-school at the best is simply to make intelligent citizens4 ,the purpose of the mission-school is to develop character1 to inculcate purity1 to create moral earnestness1 in other words1 not simply to citizenize1 but to ,christianize4 ,we need more mission schools among the ,indians1 for only the mission idea can redeem a pagan people4 ,i would like to speak of ,miss ,collins's work1 gradually bringing the village of ,running ,antelope on the ,grand ,river into the knowledge of ,christ1 and of the developing work at ,fort ,yates1 and of the work among the ,mandans1 ,rees and ,gros ,ventres1 and of the motley and picturesque crowd that gathered for communion in the little church at ,fort ,berthold2 but the interesting facts from these fields must be left for other notes4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,south 99 99 99 99 99 ,the ,daniel ,hand

,the anniversary of this department opened the commencement week of the ,howard ,university at ,washington1 ,d4,c41 which extended from ,friday1 ,may #bdth1 to ,wednesday1 ,may #bith4 ,a crowded audience was in attendance at the ,asbury colored church4 ,the graduating class of four was exceptionally small this year1 having been less in number than usual on entering three years ago1 and having been particularly unfortunate in deaths and removals4 ,the preceding graduating class numbered twelve1 and the succeeding one will number thirteen4 ,but the addresses delivered by the young men were of excellent quality1 eliciting high approval from numerous intelligent judges who were present4 ,one general from the army1 who listened with great interest1 came up afterwards to express thanks to one of the ,professors for having invited him to attend the exercises4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,tillotson ,,institute1 ,,austin1 ,,texas4 ,wednesday1 ,june #e1 witnessed the close of the eighth year in the history of ,tillotson ,institute4 ,the closing exercises began on ,thursday1 ,may #cj1 with the annual written examinations which1 on account of the very large attendance of this year--greater than ever before--meant more work than usual for the teachers4 ,these examinations cover the work of the entire year1 and are looked forward to with much apprehension by the students4 ,for the past three years1 the last ,saturday afternoon before commencement has been set apart as ,tillotson ,day1 and devoted to exercises appropriate to such an occasion4 ,this year1 ,rev4 ,w4,h4 ,shaw1 pastor of the ,cumberland ,presbyterian ,church in this city1 addressed the students in the chapel4 ,this was followed by a pic-nic on the school grounds4 ,the last ,sunday in the school is rather a sad day to most of the teachers4 ,there are many interests in these ,sunday-schools which one cannot bear the thought of leaving for four long months4 ,we can only hope that the good seed sown during the year has not fallen on stony ground or by the wayside1 and that it will survive the heat of the summer4 ,monday and ,tuesday were devoted to oral examinations4 ,these were held in the chapel and were attended by an unusually large number of the parents and friends of the students from the city and elsewhere4 ,the classes acquitted themselves very creditably2 especially good1 however1 were the examinations of the seventh grade in geometry and the fourth grade in geography4 ,more attention has been given this year to industrial training than ever before4 ,in the recitation rooms1 were specimens of the handiwork of the students in the various industrial departments4 ,a class of little girls told of the various forms of needlework1 which was something more than theory with them1 as their samples of work on exhibition testified4 ,there was not a useless article in the entire collection2 they have been taught how to make serviceable garments4 ,very neat specimens of darning and mending were displayed1 also4 ,the cooking classes exhibited samples of their skill4 ,the disappearance of all the handiwork of this class in the course of inspection witnessed to its success4 ,the classes in carpentry displayed specimens of their skill4 ,this is the first year that this industry has been taught here4 ,on ,tuesday evening1 occurred the annual musical and rhetorical entertainment4 ,a large audience is always expected on this occasion1 but this year it was larger than ever4 ,before eight o'clock1 the chapel with the adjoining halls and recitation rooms were filled1 and notwithstanding the efforts of the ushers to find room for every one1 about half the number were obliged to go away4 ,one little boy who came especially to see the dumbbell drill was found under the front steps1 after the close of the entertainment1 fast asleep4 ,he had taken refuge there to await a chance to get a seat in the chapel later in the evening4 ,on ,wednesday morning1 an audience of much more manageable magnitude than that of the previous evening assembled at #aj o'clock1 to listen to the regular commencement exercises4 ,these consisted of essays1 orations1 recitations and declamations4 ,two young men1 one of whom was graduated last year from the elementary normal course1 were graduated from the higher normal course4 ,the original productions presented this year were said to have been unusually good4 ,a visitor1 in an address made after the presentation of the diplomas1 in speaking of the excellence of the orations said of one of them1 ,it would be creditable on the platform of any school in the ,united ,states4 ,the year just ended has been one of hard work and great prosperity4 ,the attendance has been not only larger than ever before1 but constant1 and the result of such steady and persistent work is1 as might be expected1 gratifying progress in all departments4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,extract ,,from ,a ,,valedictory ,,address4 ,an account of the closing exercises of ,avery ,institute in ,south ,carolina1 was given in the ,,missionary last month4 ,a copy of the valedictory address of one of the pupils has been sent to us1 from which we excerpt one or two passages to give the flavor of the occasion4 ,we think it would be creditable to any school of like grade in the country4 ,to-day we are to go forth4 ,is it strange that emotions deep and solemn should pervade our hearts8 ,amid these emotions1 gratitude stands prominent--gratitude to the honored ,association which has placed within our reach these opportunities for the development of intellect and of character that fit us to take our places in life as intelligent men and women4 ,in behalf of the class of '#hi and of all our schoolmates1 we return to ,,the ,,american ,,missionary ,,association our heartfelt thanks1 and invoke for it the richest blessings of ,him who maketh rich4444 ,in bidding adieu to school life1 the thought which presses most forcibly is that we are supposed now to be ready for our duties in life4 ,let us rather remember that we have but caught a glimpse of the knowledge which lies beyond and which beckons to us4 ,may our thirst for it be insatiable4 ,let us take care of each day and each hour1 and show to our ,heavenly ,father that we love his precepts1 and are seeking to live true and holy lives4 ,our places here will soon be filled1 but nothing will take away from our hearts the memories of dear old ,avery4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,missionary ,,visits4 ,,by ,,mrs4 ,a4,w4 ,,curtis4 ,we were going out for a ride1 a pleasure ride1 a mission of mercy to the sick and afflicted1 to carry them spiritual and physical comforts4 ,we have no missionary horse and buggy1 and it was not an elegant equipage standing before our door4 ,our steed was a very lank1 bony1 long-eared mule1 and the vehicle a rather disreputable looking old delivery wagon1 kindly loaned to us by our grocer2 but we were thankful for anything that would take us safely4 ,we soon came to a deep1 ugly-looking ravine1 that must be crossed4 ,i walked over the log that spanned it1 while ,dominie rattled his bones over the stones1 down the steep descent1 and up the farther side in safety1 thanks to the sure-footed mule4 ,just beyond was a small rude cabin4 ,the old chimney had tumbled down1 leaving nearly the whole of one side entirely open to the weather4 ,inside1 upon a bed that nearly filled the small room1 lay a woman who was paralyzed4 ,a little child was her only attendant4 ,some kind neighbor1 however1 had made her clean and comfortable for the day4 ,the poor woman could not move1 but her dark eyes beamed with delight at the sight of us1 and the poor drawn face expressed the joy she could not speak4 ,we talked of the dear friend ,jesus1 whom she loved and trusted1 sang together a song of faith1 and commended her to heaven's mercy and kindness1 in prayer4 ,on we went again1 over the hills1 the sun climbing higher and growing hotter every moment4 ,then we turned off into some dim cool woods1 picking our way through rough ravines and blind tracks until we reached another little cabin home4 ,we had to bend low to enter the door of the rough1 rude house1 yet the one low room1 with loft above1 sheltered a family of nine persons4 ,upon a bed1 the dear old grandmother was dying1 but the dark cabin seemed illuminated by the shining face of the happy saint4 ,you are almost home1 ,auntie8 ,yes chile1 almost home6 ,and you find ,jesus dear and precious1 now8 ,yes6 yes6 dear and precious4 ,i held her cold1 almost pulseless hands in mine1 while her minister read comforting words of hope from the blessed ,word4 ,then we sang for her1 closing with-- ,oh come1 angel bands1 come and around me stand1 ,oh bear me away on your snowy wings ,to my eternal home4 ,her dark face was fairly radiant4 ,she lifted her hands toward heaven1 and though our eyes were holden that we could not see1 we felt that the ,lord and his angels were glorifying that humble abode1 making it the gateway of heaven4 ,holding fast to our hands as we knelt beside her bed1 she murmured responses to our prayers4 ,with uplifted hearts1 we said our last good-bye1 and went away rejoicing in her triumph over the terrors of death and at the thought of the glory that awaited her4 ,as we passed out of sight1 she entered within the gates1 with that radiant look upon her face2 and the next day at sunset we laid her away to rest4 ,from this ,beulah-land1 we hastened on to visit a man who was in the last stages of consumption4 ,we had been for some time doing what we could that he might be prepared for the great change that was drawing near4 ,in the low doorway1 sat an old hag-like woman1 who stared at us with a look of rage1 as we passed by her into the room where the sick man was4 ,sultry as was the day1 there was a hot blaze in the cavernous fireplace4 ,over it hung an iron kettle1 from which most sickening odors emanated4 ,the sick man was in a heavy stupor4 ,we tried in vain to arouse him1 even for a moment4 ,his wife looked unusually cheerful1 as she assured us that he was a great deal better2 that he did not cough at all1 and rested mighty easy4 ,we understood the situation at once4 ,the poor woman was densely ignorant1 and believed her husband had been conjured4 ,the old hag in the doorway was a witch doctor1 who had promised to cure him for ten dollars6 ,how the poor wife with her five little children to support managed to raise it1 ,god only knows2 but she had done it1 and was pouring down that unconscious man's throat1 hourly doses of a villainous compound of most loathsome things1 over which the old hag muttered her incantations1 and worked her ,satanic spells4 ,she watched us with her evil eye as we looked pityingly upon the poor sufferer1 and glared menacingly when we told the poor wife that he was no better2 that the end was near4 ,that very night the death-like stupor was broken by agonies of torture which racked the wasted frame for many hours4 ,there was no respite for a prayer1 or for a thought of the eternity into which his poor soul was hastening4 ,the witch doctor fled in haste1 unable to endure the sight of the tortures she herself had invoked4 ,it was an unutterable relief when those shrieks of agony were hushed by the awful silence of death4 ,to us1 there came an added burden of care as we realized how many of this people are still in bondage to these heathenish customs and superstitions4 ,nothing but the light of a pure gospel and the elevating influences of education1 will lift them out of their degradation4 ,it will take years of time1 and patient labor1 and will cost something2 but these souls are precious to ,god4 ,they are the heathen at our door4 ,there are millions of them6 ,they will soon be a mighty power for good or evil in our nation4 ,which shall it be8 99 99 99 99 99 ,a ,,call ,,from ,,aunt ,,mary4 ,aunt ,mary is a member of one of our colored churches--a genuine daughter of ,africa--possessing characteristics belonging rather to the rougher than the softer sex--a peddler by occupation2 peddling cast-off clothing 7which she gets from white folks7 among her colored sisters4 ,this business1 together with her masculine performances and her qualification in plantation melodies1 makes her exceedingly popular with the colored people of the town4 ,hello6 ,hello6 rang

hat-box on the floor by her side and for a moment looked around the room1 noticing everything4 ,then she took up the poker1 commenced poking the fire1 as if she wanted more heat to enable her to explain the chief object of her visit4 ,the heat is now up to the degree required1 the poker is laid aside1 the old hat-box is in her lap1 and aunt ,mary is ready to talk business4 ,opening the box1 she said to ,mrs4 ,r41 ,sister1 ,i have something har ,i want ter show you2 dun know if you want ter see it4 ,what is it8 ,mrs4 ,r4 enquired4 ,here she pulled out a second-hand bonnet trimmed in high

,,letter ,,from ,,oahe ,,school1 ,,dakota4 ,,by ,,miss ,,julia ,e4 ,,pratt4 ,a very sad incident came into our life as a school last winter1 which has accentuated anew the ignorance and the superstitious heathenism of these ,indian people4 ,one of our little boys was sent to the dormitory one morning to do some work to which he objected1 and1 while pretending to obey1 he took one of the other little boys with him and ran away4 ,their absence was not discovered until it was too late to overtake them1 and as their home was only ten miles away1 and we knew they were good walkers1 as all ,indians are almost from babyhood1 we had every reason to believe they would reach home in safety4 ,they had started before daylight1 and without any breakfast1 and the little boy who was enticed away had no overcoat nor mittens1 but had gone on the impulse of the moment without taking any extra clothing4 ,about ten o'clock1 it grew very cold1 and as the little fellow had on shoes1 to which he was unaccustomed1 his feet became so cold and tired that he could not go on4 ,then the boy who had coaxed him away gave him his overcoat and mittens and went on1 reaching home about noon1 telling that he had run away1 and that he had left ,jaran about half way4 ,jaran's father did not believe the story1 and came back to us1 ten miles1 to see if it were true4 ,this made us very anxious1 but nothing could be done but to await the issue4 ,it seemed as if a series of unfortunate mistakes had combined to bring about this result2 and to make everything still more puzzling1 ,mr4 ,riggs1 our superintendent1 was away4 ,he reached home that evening1 and the next morning sent the steward to learn the fate of the little runaway4 ,he went on until he found the little boy's cap and mittens1 and the place where he had evidently lain all night4 ,it was a bitter night1 and we knew that he could not possibly have survived1 in his exhausted condition1 and not knowing how to protect himself1 even if he had had the means for so doing4 ,this1 in itself1 was a very bitter experience for us1 but the worst was yet to come4 ,mr4 ,riggs found it impossible to get an ,indian to go to the assistance of these poor people4 ,they were all afraid4 ,rumors were afloat that the father was going to shoot anyone connected in any way with the school1 ,indian or white4 ,when an ,indian is sorrow-stricken over the death of a friend or relative1 he alleviates his suffering by killing some one else4 ,after the little boy was buried1 the family came to the school4 ,the old grandmother brought the clothes he had on when found--and which they had cut off1--spread them out before ,mr4 ,riggs1 and reproached him for sending a little boy out into a storm so insufficiently clad2 to which ,mr4 ,riggs replied that we had no idea he was going out into the storm1 that he was dressed for the house1 and had we known he was going on a journey1 he would have been dressed for it4 ,she would not be pacified1 however1 and after bitterly reproaching ,mr4 ,riggs for the death of her grandson1 she demanded pay for it1 as if money would make up to them his loss4 ,that afternoon1 at the woman's meeting1 we learned that they had given away everything they possessed1 furniture1 clothing1 bedding1 dishes1 and were absolutely destitute of the barest necessities of life4 ,this is one of their customs4 ,they reason thus3 ,our child is dead2 our hearts are sad2 life has no longer any attractions2 take all we have4 ,the ,christian ,indian women in our church each gave something out of her little property to help these poor heathen people1 who in their superstitious ignorance had made their lot so wretched4 ,taking this1 they returned home and demanded of the family of the other poor boy a cow in payment for the death of their child4 ,and there came to me this question3 ,is it possible that in the midst of this beautiful free land of ours1 there lives a people so densely ignorant1 so darkly superstitious1 sunk so low in heathenism1 as this incident shows8 ,and this is only one of many such incidents4 ,may ,god help us when such things are possible in a ,christian land4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,chinese4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,three ,,days ,,of ,,evangelistic ,,work ,,at ,,petaluma4 ,,by ,,jee ,,gam4 ,i reached ,petaluma a little while before school began4 ,the scholars soon poured in and the attendance was the largest the school ever had4 ,in order to have a little preaching service1 we hurried through the lessons4 ,at the conclusion of school1 two hymns were sung4 ,i then preached to them of ,jesus4 ,they all listened very attentively and appeared interested4 ,at the close1 ,i asked them to come again the next evening and bring their friends4 ,to my great surprise1 the next evening not only all the scholars came1 but many outsiders2 some of these had years ago attended our school for some little time1 but the majority of them had never been inside our mission4 ,i was informed1 after the meeting1 that five or six of them were very highly educated in ,chinese1 and that they were chief officers of the ,chinese ,branch ,masonic ,society in ,petaluma4 ,i thought they came simply for curiosity and perhaps for argument4 ,just before the meeting commenced1 ,i went into my room1 knelt down and said to ,god3 ,oh ,lord1 ,thou art the ,almighty ,god1 ,thou knowest the motives of those who have come to this meeting2 ,thou knowest ,i am very weak4 ,i can do nothing without ,thy help1 so ,i beseech ,thee to make me a good agent in ,thy hand4 ,give me the right word to speak1 fill me with power4 ,i arose from prayer and felt that ,god was with me4 ,i went into the meeting and announced my subject4 ,it was on ,daniel being cast into the lions' den4 ,i noticed the marked interest they all seemed to feel4 ,at the close1 ,i again asked all present to come the next evening 7,sunday evening7 and bring more friends4 ,the ,sabbath evening meeting came4 ,sunday-school began at six o'clock4 ,not only the scholars and every one of the outsiders who had attended the meeting of the night before came1 but many others besides1 so that we had to bring in extra benches1 and yet we lacked room4 ,my subject this evening was ,daniel1 third chapter1 the three ,hebrew children cast into the fiery furnace1 being a continuation of my ,bible reading of the previous evening4 ,i endeavored to bring home to my countrymen three things3 #ast4--,that this was the true ,god1 and he was the ,supreme ,ruler mentioned by our ,confucius1 ,mencius and other sages4 #b;d4--,he was all-powerful and not like the golden image which ,nebuchadnezzar had set up1 nor like the idols that we ,chinese serve4 #c;d4--,he was able to save all those that put their trust in ,him4 ,he is just as able and as willing to save us to-day as ,he was when ,he saved ,daniel and his three countrymen1 provided we are willing to trust in ,him1 as these men did1 for ,he is the same yesterday1 to-day and forever4 ,the golden image could not protect from the dangers of the fire the king's mighty men that cast ,shadrach1 ,meshach and ,abednego into the furnace4 ,and why8 ,because it was simply an image1 the work of men's hands4 ,and now1 what are our ,chinese idols8 ,are not they the works of men's hands too8 ,we all say that they are true gods and are very powerful2 yet1 you all well know that we have a common saying3 ,though the gods are powerful1 yet they are not able to protect an unfortunate man4 ,so let us seek1 believe and worship the only true ,god1 and ,him alone4 ,i had to come away the next day1 and felt that perhaps ,i might never have another chance to speak to them4 ,the opportunity1 too1 was one of the best that any preacher could desire1 for they all seemed hungering for more of the truth4 ,therefore ,i went on to tell them that the ,son of ,god whom ,nebuchadnezzar saw in the fiery furnace was this same ,jesus that we ,christians believe in and preach to-day4 ,at the conclusion1 ,i urged all to accept ,him as their ,saviour4 ,i said3 ,of course ,i cannot tell you all about ,jesus in one evening1 for nearly every one of the thirty-nine books of the ,old ,testament and every one of the twenty-seven books of the ,new ,testament speak of ,jesus1--his birth1 his life1 his teaching4 ,all these you can find out by reading the ,chinese translation of the ,bible1 and therefore we earnestly invite you all to read it for yourselves4 ,one of our proverbs says3 ',genuine gold never fears the hot furnace fire4' ,so the ,bible never fears examination4 ,the more you try it1 the truer you will find it to be4 ,you are all acquainted with the ways of the ,tanist priests4 ,they deceive the people and you all know their doctrines and tricks will not bear inspection4 ,for example1 the manner in which they pretend to catch demons2 they go to the house with their gongs1 cymbals1 etc41 and pretend to catch the ghost and place him in a jar4 ,after they have caught him1 they will not allow you to open the jar to view him4 ,why8 ,the ,bible you see is as true as the broad daylight1 for it has borne the inspection of centuries4 ,the doctrines of the ,tanist priests differ in this respect4 ,their teaching will not stand criticism nor examination1 while the ,bible stands the tests of all times1 and it is fast becoming the standard book of the nations of the world4 ,the meeting was then closed with a prayer4 ,i said to them1 ,i shall be happy to have any one ask questions about ,jesus and ,i will endeavor to answer4 ,but no question was asked1 so ,i gave each a tract to take home to read4 ,after they had left1 a ,chinese laundryman and two of his employees came4 ,i learned that they had come before and found the room so crowded that they could not enter4 ,i had a very pleasant visit from them4 ,i talked to them both of their spiritual and temporal welfare4 ,may ,god bless the seed sown there and grant that all the ,petaluma ,chinese may find salvation in ,jesus ,christ1 our ,lord4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,death ,,of ,,leung ,,kee4 ,,by ,,mrs4 ,c4,a4 ,,sheldon4 ,leung ,kee was but #af years old and was in a store with his uncle1 a heathen1 but a fine-looking man and one whose character is worthy of respect4 ,he had just joined our ,christian ,association when he was taken sick4 ,his uncle thought his sickness came because he had become a ,christian1 and he begged of him to go back to his old religion1 but he said ,no1 he would trust in ,jesus4 ,just as he died1 his uncle again asked him if he should not burn incense1 but he still said ,no1 and asked the ,christian brethren to pray with him4 ,as soon as we heard of his death1 ,miss ,watson and ,i called4 ,the uncle was very courteous1 told us that ,leung ,kee was a ,christian boy1 and he wanted us to do just what we thought best4 ,our pastor1 ,dr4 ,hutchins1 attended the funeral with us and made some very touching remarks4 ,we had singing by the ,christian brethren and others who were there4 ,the uncle was attentive1 and more than once tears were in his eyes4 ,at the grave we sang a hymn4 ,chung ,moi prayed in ,chinese2 all joined in the ,lord's prayer in ,chinese1 then we sang again1 ,o think of the home over there4 ,the uncle came and thanked us for our kindness to his boy2 said it was his brother's son1 but just like his own2 ,i wish all who think the ,chinese have no heart could have heard the tremor in his voice and seen his quivering lips and his eyes full of tears4 ,one of the ,christian brethren told us that he said afterwards that he would join the ,christian ,association himself if he were not so old4 ,so ,i think perhaps our young brother's early death may do more for his countrymen than his life would have done4 ,i pray that

had become interested1 and where she labored part of the year4 ,the day was excessively warm4 ,the distance was two miles1 and the horse cars would only take me half the way1 leaving a walk across the fields for the rest of the trip4 ,there was no road1 and much of the way not even a footpath1 and the fields were partly covered with water from the frequent showers4 ,i got along quite well during the first half of my walk by picking my way1 now and then elongating steps1 or jumping1 generally with satisfactory results4 ,presently a place appeared where the water seemed too wide to venture with safety4 ,there was no possibility of jumping this time1 and ,i was ready to give up in despair1 when ,i discovered at some little distance a log laid across the narrow part of the stream4 ,i commenced the tight rope walk and was just congratulating myself upon my heroic adventure which1 with one step more1 would have landed me safely on the other side1 when the log tilted and off ,i went1 my knees plowing into the mud making a hole as big as grandma's workbasket4 ,i lost no time in getting up4 ,as ,i arose1 ,i saw my best parasol and big palm-leaf fan floating along leisurely in the muddy stream4 ,these were secured later1 but with much trouble1 and my portmanteau was fished from the hidden deep at the peril of crabs and other biters who make such places homes of retreat4 ,i called at the nearest cabin1 and found ,auntie with a kind heart ready to undertake the job of cleaning me up4 ,she took in the situation at once1 ejaculating1 ,lor'1 honey6 specs ,is'e goin ter let yer go ter ,sunday-school wid dem ar close all spilt8 ,sam1 take dem ar shoes and wash em clar fru for ,missus4 ,in a short time she said1 ,you's fine1 and ,i started for the little church close by1 arriving just five minutes before the ,sunday-school closed4 ,i was greeted with ,howdy by the pastor1 who is superintendent1 and was requested to speak to the children1 while the whole ,sunday school1 including twenty-six boys and girls1 and seven fathers and mothers1 rose to their feet1 indicating their delight to see me4 ,i was in time to observe one little boy standing on tiptoe to reach up to the ,bible which the minister held open on the table and was teaching him to read4 ,it was his custom1 as he was the only teacher1 to call each one separately1 and teach him to read1 as well as his ignorance would allow4 ,this is in advance of their old way of conducting ,sunday-school4 ,formerly1 all the instruction received was from ,webster's blue back1 and1 for the closing exercise1 they counted from one to a hundred4 ,the pastor attended school at ,straight ,university during the past year and can read a little1 but not intelligently4 ,he looks as if he had seen sixty years or more1 and ,i believe him to be a good man who tries to do faithful work for the ,master so far as he is able4 ,he has built a little church1 mostly with his own hands and out of his own scanty earnings4 ,it is made of rough boards1 but it has a good foundation and the roof is well shingled4 ,there are no glass windows1 but boards like a barn door hung on hinges serve to let in the light or shut out the cold in winter4 ,the people are ignorant beyond description4 ,most of them live in little huts or cabins on the banks of the canal1 getting a scanty living by working out as they can find places4 ,their homes are filthy and uninviting4 ,how much good a missionary could accomplish by going into their homes and teaching them the true ,christian way of living6 ,the mothers with whom ,i talked seemed willing1 and even anxious1 to know better ways4 ,any instruction in housekeeping would be gratefully received1 and a sewing class1 where cutting and making plain clothing were taught1 would be eagerly accepted4 ,a mothers' meeting once a week would be more helpful to those barren minds than words can express4 ,the work is right there1 all ready and waiting for some loving1 self-denying ,christian woman to take up4 ,who in the far-off ,northland will say1 ,lord1 here am ,i1 send me1 and who will reach deep in their pockets and say1 ,i will give a tenth1 yea1 even more1 for that which is more is the only true giving8 ,may ,god open the hearts of those who have an abundance and to spare1 to give liberally for the uplifting of our colored brothers and sisters4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,our

of her charge3 ,i must tell you of the little native girl who lived with us1 and of her practical application of a ,scripture text4 ,it was my custom to teach her from the ,bible every ,sabbath afternoon4 ,i had been reading from the ninth chapter of ,mark1 where it speaks of the child-like spirit our dear ,saviour wants us to possess4 ,she listened very attentively1 and seemed especially interested when we came to the forty-first verse1 ,for whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name1 444 he shall not lose his reward4 ,she left me a few moments1 but presently came back saying3 ,won't you tell me about that verse again8 ,i gladly complied2 then came the question1 ,does it mean me--can ,i do something for ,jesus8 ,that evening1 there came a gentle rap on my door1 and to my ,come in1 ,minnie entered1 bearing a glass of water4 ,coming near1 she placed the water on a little stand by my bedside4 ,noticing that she stood as though she would speak1 ,i said1 ,what is it1 ,minnie8 ,she hesitated a moment1 then replied3 ,i was thinking about what you said about the 'cup of water1' and ,i wanted to give you something 'cause you was sick1 but ,i didn't have anything1 so ,i thought may be you might like a fresh drink of water1 for it's all ,i've got4 ,indeed1 my heart was touched by this poor girl's beautiful application of the lesson learned2 nor was it forgotten--every evening during my illness came the fresh drink from the hands of the little beginner1 who wanted to do something for ,jesus4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,letter ,,from ,,an ,,indian ,,boy4 ,,june
