this excess to the #e1jjj debt with which we began the year1 and you have the condition of our treasury4 ,we have borrowed the money to meet the deficit4 ,our missionaries are all paid1 our work is being pushed and sustained at every point4 ,it is evident that there must be a large increase in contributions from churches and individuals4 ,the contributions are voluntary4 ,as a generous contributor to our treasury says in a letter just received1 8,resolutions of annual meetings are not collectable taxes40 ,our work is entirely dependent upon the free-will offerings of our supporters4 ,we appeal to them with this understanding4 ,we invite their thoughtful attention to all the facts in the case4 ,the next few months are the best in the year to collect money4 ,people are all at home and about their business4 ,pastors are all in their pulpits4 ,all the machinery of church and ,sunday-school activities are in operation4 ,we earnestly beseech pastors and church officers1 and all friends1 not to let this harvest-time pass without making special effort to put the finances of the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 on an assured foundation1 before the summer months with their vacations and interruptions of church work come4 99 99 99 99 99 ,a ,,good ,,idea4 ,this little missive shows the way in which one pastor works the cause of benevolence in his parish3 8,dear ,friends3 ,the ,american ,missionary ,association is the ,hand we have extended toward the seven million of colored people in the ,south1 toward the two hundred and seventy-five thousand ,indians in the ,west1 and to the one hundred thousand ,chinese on the ,pacific ,slope1 to help lift them to ,christian character and citizenship4 ,the accompanying leaflet shows us what the ,association is doing1 while the envelope is to receive the annual offering which we are to make the coming ,sabbath1 ----4 ,shall we send a prayer with our gifts8 ,faithfully yours40 ,we have a supply of leaflets1 collecting cards and envelopes

enjoyed always4 ,it is doing a noble and appreciated work40 8,we are glad to be able to send this year the largest collection the church has ever taken for the work of the ,association4 ,we shall hope even to improve on this next time40 8,i will see that the matter of looking up subscribers for your magazine is placed in proper hands4 ,i am much interested in your work40 8,the magazine does good4 ,we love the ,association1 and do not fail to give our little40 8,i will do what ,i can to increase interest in our work1 and1 if possible1 extend the circulation of your magazine40 8,the information furnished by the magazine is used freely in our monthly meetings by those who receive it4 ,we regard the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 as one of the most useful and sacred of the benevolent organizations to which we contribute40 8,i do wish that more of our people would take your magazine4 ,i shall recommend it to their notice40 8,the last number of ,,the ,,american ,,missionary is worth its weight in gold4 ,i wish it could be found in every one of our families40 8,we are thoroughly interested in your work1 and will give you a better collection this year than we did last4 ,i can say so much with confidence40 8,that your magazine is a power in your behalf is evident from a glance at our record1 as our little country church averages nearly #bjj a year in support of your work4 ,as long as ,i remain pastor of the church1 it will not be my fault if this good record is not continued40 8,the copies of ,,the ,,missionary which come here are all used1 and profitably so4 ,our parish is thoroughly interested in your work1 and we have one of our best reporters to represent your field at our monthly concerts40 ,to those who will help in extending the circulation of ,,the ,,american ,,missionary1 we will1 on order1 send sample copies4 ,the subscription price is #ej cents4 ,send orders to ,h4 ,w4 ,hubbard1 ,treasurer1 #ef ,reade street1 ,new ,york city4 99 99 99 99 99 ,we do not desire to have the money that rightfully belongs to other missionary boards find its way into our treasury2 yet we do rejoice that there are many noble men and women in the different denominations who were among the constituents of the ,association in its early days1 and who have remained its constituents down to the present time4 ,one of them attended our last annual meeting1 and enclosing #cj to make a ,life ,membership1 which makes the thirty-first ,life ,member that he has constituted1 writes in regard to that meeting as follows3 8,the meeting at ,new ,haven was the best ,i ever attended2 everything moved so easily1 and there seemed to be such a good spirit4 ,but of all the papers read1 there was none that interested me so much as ,rev4 ,dr4 ,strieby's1 from the fact that it carried me back to those dark days when ,i1 as an ,abolitionist and a ,presbyterian1 united with the ,society4 ,he brought all the historical facts of those days out so clearly that ,i had to say amen1 and amen1 and thank ,god that ,i had lived to see the great change in our beloved ,america4 ,i have never left a stone unturned for the ,a4 ,m4 ,a41 for ,i have always found it true to humanity and working for the interest of the ,master4 ,therefore ,i have stood by it1 and at the same time never have forsaken the ,board of my own church4 ,i am sure that meeting brought me a little nearer to ,heaven1 and ,i rejoice that ,i was spared to enjoy its blessings4 ,push on until all men of all nations of the world are brought to the knowledge of the truth as it is in our blessed ,jesus40 99 99 99 99 99 ,when we offer the prayer1 8,thy kingdom come1 ,thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven10 it is simply a petition that the kingdom of heaven become the kingdom of earth4 ,the kingdom of heaven1 in so far as it is in the earth1 is in the hearts of men4 ,when it shall be in the hearts of all men and call forth their loyal service1 the prayer will be answered4 ,as ,christians we are bound not only to pray but to help answer our prayers4 ,into what a field for self-culture membership in ,christ's church introduces the believer6 ,large thoughts tend to make large souls4 ,it is not merely the local church or community in which one happens to be1 for whose interests he prays and plans and works2 it is the kingdom of ,god in the earth4 ,the local church may be small and limited in the opportunities that it offers for soul-growth1 but the kingdom of ,god has no limit4 ,in its reach it is wide as humanity4 8,christ sees in every man1 even in the poorest and most miserable1 a human being whose privilege it is to become a member of the kingdom of ,god40 ,the vision of the disciple should be like that of the ,master4 ,high and low1 rich and poor1 ignorant and learned1 are words that mark degrees and conditions in human society1 but in the ,divine sight all are low and poor and ignorant and lost who have not by the regenerating power of the ,holy ,ghost1 through faith in ,jesus ,christ1 been born into the kingdom of ,god4 ,the ,gospel is to be preached to every creature4 ,if we cannot go in person we can in purse and prayer4 ,representatively we can preach in the ends of the earth1 heal the sick1 feed the hungry and clothe the naked4 ,obligations to the particular home field that the individual church to which we belong cultivates1 absolve us not from the obligations we owe to the world-field into which the kingdom of ,god is coming by the extension of the church universal4 ,this large view of our personal relation to ,christ's kingdom as a whole1 this faith that sees in every man a brother for whom ,christ died1 compel us to an interest in missions4 ,the triumphs of the gospel in the ,south and at the ,west and in foreign lands1 will be just as precious to us as the triumphs of the gospel in our own community4 ,we shall desire to have a part in winning them1 for wherever the scenes are laid the triumphs are ,christ's1 and therefore ours4 99 99 99 99 99 ,president ,cleveland not only believes that the ,indian can be civilized1 but that it is the duty of the ,government to help4 ,he says the ,indians 8are a portion of our people1 are under the authority of our ,government1 and have a peculiar claim upon1 and are entitled to1 the fostering care and protection of the ,nation4 ,the ,government cannot relieve itself of this responsibility until they are so far trained and civilized as to be able wholly to manage and care for themselves4 ,the paths in which they should walk must be clearly marked out for them1 and they must be led or guided until they are familiar with the way1 and competent to assume the duties and responsibilities of our citizenship40 ,let ,congress make these sentiments the basis of ,indian legislation1 and let all the servants of the ,government who have to do with the ,indians work with these truths in view1 and in a very few years the wisdom and economy of the policy will appear in such a light that all will be compelled to approve it4 ,and yet all this will fail unless the ,gospel be brought to the ,indians at the same time4 ,the particular value of this ,government movement in behalf of the ,indian is1 that it will not only prepare the way for the coming of the ,gospel1 but will also protect the effects of the ,gospel from the evil influences of wicked men4 ,had the hindrances which have shut out ,christianity from the ,indians been removed1 as they could and ought to have been by the ,government1 the ,gospel long ago would have solved the ,indian problem1 and the ,gospel must solve it now4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,we ,,are ,,verily ,,guilty ,,concerning ,,our ,,brother4 ,,by ,,mrs4 ,a4 ,mc,d,o,u,g,a,l,l4 ,from the day when we come to ,him for rest1 taking ,his yoke upon us1 we give assent to the oneness of ,god's people in ,christ1 and to the oneness of the work given them to do4 ,we sing of the sacred tie that binds our hearts into one1 we preach about it1 we pray over it1 in a theoretic way we believe it2 but it seems as if it requires something like the fountains of the great deep to be broken up to make us practically realize all that the singing1 preaching1 praying and believing involve4 ,our loyalty to the ,union slumbered and slept1 as securely as the ten virgins1 till the trumpet blew all over the land4 ,who then felt his life too dear to offer it for the ,union8 ,what lady's hand was too delicate to scrape lint1 make bandages1 or pack boxes of home comforts for the boys at the front8 ,how many timid hearts made themselves brave to endure the sight of horrible suffering1 that they might minister and so help2 but now we have grown careless and secure1 as if we had no part in the work which the war left for us to do4 ,in travelling through the southern part of this great commonwealth1 along the highways and byways1 over long reaches of dark country1 the between places1 outside and beyond the centres where mission and educational work is being done1 we see the vast crowds of people 8who have not come to their own20 people who have a triple hunger consuming them1 the hunger of poverty1 the hunger for knowledge and the hunger after righteousness4 ,we are compelled to see ignorance1 helplessness and consequent shiftlessness1 contending hopelessly with the might and meanness of greed4 ,this great need in a professedly ,christian land--people perishing for lack of knowledge1 where knowledge is a birthright--causes our hearts to burn within us1 and we say1 how long until the whole body of ,christ feels this pain8 ,oh1 if they only knew6 ,and we take the task willingly of telling of it4 ,alas1 they are so busy1 the farm1 the merchandise1 the different enterprises of ecclesiastical masonry and millinery1 and we find that the need is too far away for general sympathy4 ,i am reminded of an incident in the lumber country4 ,one of the workmen1 an exceedingly tall man1 cut his foot with an axe1 literally splitting his great toe4 ,a sympathetic little one inquired anxiously1 8,will it be long till you feel it8 ,it is so far away from your head1 you know10 she added apologetically4 ,the pain in the ,southern limb of the body politic has not reached all the members yet4 ,if it had1 the fair hands that erstwhile scraped lint would do as much as the women of ,brittany did for the ransom of ,bertrand ,des ,guesclin1 spin one day's spinning2 the men1 who gave themselves1 would give a crumb of their cake to preserve the fought-for ,union4 ,on the ,church of the living ,god this work must fall1 by the people of ,god it must be done1 if it is done at all4 ,there are people who have given themselves1 who are in the forefront of this battle4 ,we do not all recognize that we1 who hold the ,head and are all members one of another1 live under the rule of the ,beloved1 our ,new ,testament ,david4 8,the part of those who go forth to battle and they who tarry by the stuff shall be alike0--alike in the cost1 the danger and the glory of triumph4 ,then1 when we restore that which we took not away1 the blessing that multiplies falls upon us until we have not room enough to receive it4 ,we must have our eyes touched with ,his eye-salve to see clearly the ,christ in these helpless ones whose hands are stretched out to touch our hearts4 ,human nature1 even renewed human nature1 has some queer inconsistencies4 ,the way in which we fulfill ,scripture by turning everyone to his own way is wonderful4 ,one of our own ways is how much readier we are to give charity than to pay debt4 ,one of the best men ,i ever knew paid the new hands in his establishment less than they could hire their board for1 and subscribed liberally to a home where boys could get plain board at half price4 ,now1 ,god's way is3 8,the worker is worthy of his meat40 ,this dear1 good man believed he was doing something religious when he gave the part he kept back from wages in charity4 ,this is an instance of a widely-spreading delusion4 ,give1 and give liberally1 for the conversion of the polished ,japanese1 the philosophical ,brahmin1 the filially-trained ,chinese1 the monotheistic ,mohammedan1 the heathen of distant ,africa and the isles of the sea4 ,you are right4 ,the marching orders of the ,grand ,army are3 8,go ye into all the world and preach the ,gospel to every creature40 8,all0 and 8every0 cover every inch of ground4 ,go on and prosper and the ,lord magnify thy work4 ,but1 stay1 there is here a debt to be paid1 restitution to be made4 8,leave there thy gift before the altar1 go thy way1 first be reconciled to thy brother1 then come and offer thy gift40 ,thy brother in black has a controversy with thee4 ,and his ,advocate is thy ,judge4 ,listen to the plea3 8,all the fields cleared and tilled in this broad south land1 we cleared and tilled them4 ,the roads that are made we made them1 the bridges built we built them4 ,we have been like ,joseph in ,egypt1 whatever has been done here we have been the doers of it4 ,we are ,american citizens4 ,we have bought our citizenship dear with the sweat of our bodies and the blood of our backs4 ,we have waded the red sea to freedom4 ,the hands that reaped your fields for nought are held out to you for knowledge4 ,we ask for our share of your civilization and your ,christianity40 ,fellow ,christians1 the back pay must be made up4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,does ,,the ,,higher ,,education ,,befit ,,the ,,negro8 ,,by ,,president ,h4 ,s4 ,,de ,,forest1 ,d4,d4 ,it was once believed that a little learning was a dangerous thing1 but it is now held that much learning is perilous to the negro4 ,his risk is in over-education4 ,manual training is good for him1 of course4 ,he has a natural talent for that which came down from inheritance and has been worked in with both care and pains4 ,he also needs moral training1 though this is not an ancient heir-loom in his family4 ,but for his mental development1 the fundamental branches1 few and simple1 are thought to be enough4 ,the higher range of study1 even if he be capable of reaching it1 would only harm him and unfit him for his place4 ,this opinion1 held by not a few1 has been stated by ,bishop ,pierce as follows3 8,the negroes are entitled to elementary education the same as the whites from the hands of the ,state4 ,it is the duty of the church to improve the colored ministry1 but by theological training rather than by literary education4 ,in my judgment1 higher education1 so-called1 would be a positive calamity to the negroes4 ,it would increase the friction between the races1 producing endless strifes1 elevate negro aspirations far above the station he was created to fill1 and resolve the whole into a political faction1 full of strife1 mischief and turbulence4 ,negroes ought to be taught that the respect of the white race can only be obtained by good character and conduct4 ,my conviction is that negroes have no right in juries1 legislatures1 or in public office4 ,right involves character and qualification4 ,the appointment of any colored man to office by the ,government is an insult to the ,southern people1 and provokes conflict and dissatisfaction1 when if left as they ought to be1 in their natural sphere1 there would be quiet and good order40 ,the argument then is briefly this3 ,the negro is a low order of man1 fit only for a low place1 and therefore best trained by a low order of studies4 ,the error is two-fold1 embracing both a falsehood and a fallacy3 a falsehood1 for as far as inherent nature is concerned1 the negro is no lower than the rest of the human race2 and a fallacy1 for if he were1 or so far as he has become so from the force of circumstances1 the more urgent the demand for superior training4 ,the negro is a man1 and1 like any other man1 is profited by choice mental culture4 ,furthermore1 the disabilities of the past make his higher education specially necessary1 and as fast as possible the most promising of the black race should attain the best and choicest culture4 ,in bare outline some of the reasons for this opinion may be thus stated3 7#a47 ,the negro has ability for the highest range of studies1 and to debar him therefrom is to sin both against the man and his ,maker4 ,many1 especially those who cannot spell his name without putting in one 8g0 too many1 doubt the intellectual power of the negro4 ,it is true that heredity holds with him as with other men4 ,a race scarce one and twenty years removed from enforced ignorance does not climb the hill of science as nimbly as those who inherit the brain1 will and spiritual forces which generations and centuries have accumulated4 ,but twenty-one years1 and of wretched environment too1 have sufficed to show that souls clad in the blackest ,african setting are capable of the highest thought and most difficult studies4 ,the evidence on this point is abundant and conclusive4 ,to deny the negro this ability is only to advertise one's ignorance or prejudice4 ,and since ,god has written his truth both in his word and works1 and also given to the black man aptitude and thirst for the highest and most hidden1 it does not become a race longer out of darkness and further removed from heathenism to say 8thus far and no farther0 in the culture of immortality4 ,the negro should receive the higher education because ,god has made him capable of it1 and he is profited thereby as much as any other man4 7#b47 ,the higher range of studies is necessary to supplant self-conceit with self-reliance4 ,measuring themselves by themselves1 an ignorant people are always inflated by the merest modicum of knowledge4 ,broad scholarship gives modesty1 but the sciolist everywhere is a braggart4 ,none are so satisfied with their acquisitions as the valedictorians of very poor schools4 ,where gold is scarce1 a little metal1 and chiefly alloy1 will serve for many a big spangle1 and the greater the darkness the brighter it shines4 ,the serene satisfaction with which the ,african novice will misapply and mispronounce grandiloquent speech can only be cured by the presence of some scholarly men who have climbed far enough to see the heights and to know that the low-land is a bog4 ,but wise self-reliance is as rare among an ignorant people as conceit and folly are abundant4 ,one part of the problem before us is to develop manly courage4 ,slavery cut the hamstrings of independence and sapped very manhood4 ,as a rule the negro is not certain of his rights nor is he heroic in maintaining them4 ,he has long been habituated to wrong1 and the passive virtues have become disproportionate4 ,from the days of the ,cyrenian he has ever borne the cross1 and naturally his back is bent and his knees are weak4 ,probably there is no other man in this country who can be wronged with such impunity and success as the negro4 ,he is outraged in business1 in society and in politics4 ,he knows his wrong1 but he does not know of his power to repel it4 ,he needs a manly self-reliance1 and that he must have or he will always be victimized4 ,as ,franklin said1 8,if we make sheep of ourselves the wolves will have us40 ,it is true the virtue needed is largely moral4 ,scholarship alone cannot give it1 but scholarship is a prime ingredient4 ,the step of one walking in darkness is of necessity halting and hesitant4 ,the higher education is essential to that higher courage without which right and privilege are insecure4 7#c47 ,the negro needs well-trained leaders and they must come from his own people4 ,race prejudice is an uncomfortable fact1 and there are two sides to the color line4 ,the ,moses of the future cannot1 in general1 be an ,egyptian1 whether teacher1 preacher or politician4 ,but the future ,moses will need all the learning of ,egypt4 ,a task is before him4 ,the ,red ,sea indeed has been passed and ,god is going before4 ,but the wilderness is simply terrible1 and many are falling by the way4 ,leaders must be trained1 and to do this is now our chief work4 ,every regiment certainly needs a competent colonel1 and among every one thousand men there surely ought to be one well bred and well read1 broad and thoughtful and scholarly1 trained to thought1 enriched with varied knowledge1 and able either to cope with men or to grapple with difficulties4 ,by this meager percentage1 seven thousand liberally trained men are needed for the nearly seven million ,africans in our country4 ,we conclude then1 that while all should have the lower education1 a great many should receive the higher4 ,every man may need silver1 but the best commerce of the world requires that some should also have gold1 and a good deal of it4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,some ,,change ,,needed4 ,we publish the following as evidence of the necessity for ,congregational ,churches among the colored people4 ,there are some kinds of religion from which intelligent people wish to get away4 ,of these kinds it can be truthfully said that a 8special religious interest0 is not a blessing4--,,ed4 8,the church here was organized in ,april1 #ahhb4 ,from the beginning we have held worship in one room of the ,knox school building1 which is owned by the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 ,this room is not large enough to accommodate the people when there is anything like a good interest1 as we cannot seat1 comfortably1 more than one hundred persons4 ,we are1 therefore1 put to great inconvenience at times4 ,again1 there is not the air of sacredness in worshiping in a school-house as there is in an out-and-out church edifice4 ,at least it is so among the people here4 8,great as these reasons are for a church building1 yet there is another still greater4 ,it is this2 we are holding our services not farther away than thirty steps from a colored ,baptist church whose congregation is immense4 ,moreover1 our meetings are held at the same hour as theirs4 ,their great demonstrations and shoutings are destructive to the solemnity and comfort of our quiet and orderly congregations4 ,when there is special religious interest among that people--and it is almost a perpetual thing--the good effect of our services is almost as good as none4 8,now1 to carry out our building plan we need fifteen hundred or two thousand dollars4 ,we hope our ,northern friends will give us at least one thousand dollars of this amount4 ,please respond as soon as possible1 as we are very anxious to complete our church by next ,april when our fifth anniversary will be held4 ,we wish to hold that service in the new edifice4 8,the future good of the work here will depend very much upon our ability to build within the year #ahhg40 ,and the following is an evidence of the necessity for ,congregational ministers3 8,,dear ,,sir3 ,i hav been infome buy ,some of you brothren4 ,as ,i wished to ,change my

,tougaloo1 having been looked forward to with eager expectancy for months--especially by the carpenter's apprentices and other wood-working students1 who1 no doubt1 next to ,mr4 ,stephen ,ballard himself1 of ,new ,york1 feel a sense of personal proprietorship and joyful interest in 8,ballard school-house10 which was dedicated that day4 ,the new school-house is not only a monument to ,mr4 ,ballard's philanthropy1 but also to the value and success of the mechanical training given here1 as the work was almost entirely done by the students4 ,the day of dedication was the third of a succession of days unusually cold for us1 and the air was full of snow-flakes1 so that few of the expected guests from a distance made their appearance1 and the extreme unpleasantness of the day kept most of even our near neighbors at home4 ,however1 besides the students and their immediate friends1 we had as guests ,miss ,dickey1 the honored head of ,mt4 ,hermon ,seminary at ,clinton1 with two of her assistants2 ,rev4 ,j4 ,b4 ,oliver1 of the ,congregational ,church at ,greenville1 and ,rev4 ,c4 ,l4 ,harris1 of the ,congregational ,church at ,jackson2 also ,mr4 ,moses ,folsom1 of ,iowa1 a representative of 8,the ,burlington ,hawkeye10 with a friend of his4 ,probably none of the special days in the annals of the school have passed off with more unity and spontaneity of feeling1 nor left a happier consciousness behind4 ,the ,sunday-school lesson had for its title 8,the ,beginning10 and besides its regular and ordinary teachings1 was specially and happily applied1 and1 at its close1 ten persons were received into church membership4 ,the regular dedicatory ceremonies and services took place in the afternoon and were good throughout4 ,rev4 ,c4 ,l4 ,harris1 of ,jackson1 delivered the address4 ,always energetic and enthusiastic1 and ready for whatever word or work his day and opportunity bring him1 he gave us a really excellent address4 ,he gave in the outset a sketch of the life of the ,christian merchant who had considered himself the ,lord's steward of the funds required to build this school-house and the shops required for our trades4 ,he then spoke at large upon the three-fold work to which this institution was dedicated1--the education of head1 hand and heart1 all tending to the firm and right establishment of the home and fitting for the widest usefulness4 ,the last thing in the service supplied an outlet for the manifestation of the loving and joyful interest with which the service had been participated in by the congregation1 and was apparently at least as much enjoyed as any part of it1 namely1 the taking of a collection4 ,the subscription1 started with the thank-offering of ,thanksgiving ,day1 for seating the new chapel1 had reached #cf4ej4 ,the collection at the dedication service brought it to #ig4ce1 additional free-will offerings next morning making up the hundred4 ,at this writing a beginning has been made on the remaining #ff4be4 ,about one-fourth of this has been given by our own students1 and nearly one-half by the colored people connected with1 or interested in1 our school4 ,a sermon from ,rev4 ,j4 ,b4 ,oliver in the evening

visitors1 this afternoon1 in the school-room of our practice school4 ,these faces are the property of as many happy children--children with no more weight of years upon them than properly belongs to pupils in a primary school4 ,as ,i looked down the rows of little seats on this my first visit for the year1 ,i saw at once that many new pupils had taken their places in this company since the first of ,september1 but some of the little folks have grown so familiar that ,i realize they are soon to 8graduate0 into the ,english department of the ,university4 ,at least half a dozen of those before me are the children of parents1 one or both of whom were pupils at ,fisk at some time during the first ten years of its work4 ,they come from comfortable and well-regulated homes in the city1 as do the majority of those primary pupils4 ,the special occasion that drew us together to-day was the public exercise of the practice teachers who taught in the school during the fall term4 ,every member of the senior normal class spends six weeks1 at some time during the year1 in practice work1 under the direction and criticism of the principal of the school4 ,to-day each of the four teachers taught three classes ten minutes apiece1 and in the two hours thus occupied1 not only the regulation studies1 reading and number1 were presented1 but very interesting lessons were taught in elementary grammar1 geography of ,tennessee1 form1 color and physiology4 ,when the bright sunlight gave its aid by flashing through a prism the rainbow colors on the wall1 the little people were quick to tell how these colors might be combined and others formed2 and when to the physiology class there were shown the heart1 lungs and liver of a sheep1 they gathered with so much interest around their young teacher that spectators and school were forgotten in their childish eagerness to ask and answer questions4 ,in one of the motion-songs that varied the exercises of the afternoon1 these little people sang of the shoemaker1 8,all he wants is his elbow room10 and as ,i came away impressed with a sense of the power developing in that school-room and thought of the future of its pupils1 ,i said gladly to myself1 8,all they want is their elbow room40 ,these public exercises are held semi-annually1 in order that all members of the normal class may have opportunity to show the result of their practice work4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,charleston1 ,s4 ,c4 ,a young man who recently united with our church on profession of faith1 in his first prayer at the ,wednesday night prayer meeting1 said3 8,help us young

withstand the temptations which come every day40 ,it is the same idea which ,st4 ,paul gives us when he says3 8,not as though ,i had already attained1 either were already perfect1 but ,i follow after40 8,a little faster and a little better40 ,what a lesson for ,christians generally4 ,if we all would be a little faster in doing good1 in giving to aid in this work of raising up fallen humanity1 there would be no need of constant appeal from the treasury department of the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 and the other great missionary organizations1 and if ,christians would pray a little better1 that is1 with more earnest desire for a literal answer to their prayers1 ,his ,kingdom would speedily come in the hearts of men4 ,his will would be more generally done 8on earth1 as it is in ,heaven40

volcano1 or something like a tidal wave1 you know40 ,there is nothing new under the sun1 says the wise man1 but ,i hardly think he saw in his day and generation--a volcano--something like a tidal wave6 ,and yet the idea is a good one1 typical1 ,i think1 of the ,american ,missionary ,association1 which1 years ago1 began in a humble way to pour forth--not fire and smoke and ashes--although the outcome of its work was fire and smoke and ashes to false opinion and wrong4 ,like a volcano1 it sent forth material which moulded itself into the public sentiment of years ago1 and since1 like a tidal wave1 this sentiment has continued to sweep over the continent until all the nationalities represented in this country are beginning to recognize the ,fatherhood of ,god and the brotherhood of man4 ,,geo4 ,c4 ,,rowe4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,cumberland ,,mountains4 ,,by ,,rev4 ,b4 ,,dodge1 ,,pleasant ,,hill1 ,,tenn4 ,what have you done8 ,this is a fair question for friends of this mission1 ,north1 ,west and ,east1 to ask4 ,i propose briefly to answer it4 ,i left my pastorate in the 8,pine ,tree0 ,state1 and1 with my wife and daughter1 entered upon the work here ,october #ast1 #ahhd4 ,to leave a ,new ,england home for these mountain wilds is much like entering a new world4 ,but1 coming not to play1 but work1 duty said3 8,look about you--,east1 ,west1 ,north and ,south40 ,it was done1 and the outlook showed a large amount of illiteracy in every neighborhood1 many living so far away from school as to be totally beyond their reach1 and many young people growing up with no knowledge of books4 ,what could be done8 ,more impressively the answer came than ,i can tell it3 ,build a house for school and worship which may bless present and future generations4 ,but1 from a human standpoint1 to erect such a building as was needed seemed extremely difficult1 if not impossible1 with limited means on every side1 no market1 no railroad1 and #b1jjj feet above the sea level4 ,but1 being used to hard work from early life1 and not easily scared1 ,i grappled with the idea of building a house for the double purpose named4 ,i laid the matter before the ,a4 ,m4 ,a41 and was by them requested to undertake the building of such a house as1 in my judgment1 was needed4 ,i began the work ,march #ast1 #ahhe4 ,a good lady donated five acres of land 7a lovely spot7 for church and school purposes1 and deeded the lot to the ,a4 ,m4 ,a41 and also contributed #ej to the building4 ,i then headed a subscription paper with #ej1 and the people here added enough by timber and labor to make in all #cjj4 ,i then employed a man to put in a good foundation of split stone1 laid in masonry and elevated twenty inches above the ground1 the size of the building to be #ejdg feet1 including tower4 ,what next8 ,it was to hew a white oak frame in the forest and haul it to the building spot1 then have it framed4 ,at length ,i invited men to raise it1 and women to bring a dinner4 ,when gathered we sought1 with uncovered heads under the blue sky1 the blessings of heaven on the future of the house and freedom from accident during its erection4 ,at #aa ,a4 ,m4 the school1 marshalled by its worthy teacher1 ,mrs4 ,lord1 came and marched around the walls and waiting timber with songs of greeting1 and when the song ended1 the men responded with three lusty cheers for the school4 ,at sunset the frame stood on its solid base4 ,there stood the bones1 but where was the flesh8 ,i took my men1 and1 with axes and saws1 we went to the forest to fell the trees for logs2 but when a few were sawed the mill failed4 ,must we give it up8 ,not yet4 ,in the saddle ,i went down the mountain to ,lost ,creek1 sixteen miles1 and to ,sparta1 seventeen1 for lumber4 ,through much hardship it was hauled1 it taking two days for a good team to make one trip1 and sometimes getting a thorough soaking in a storm by a night camp-fire4 ,some forty loads were dragged up the steep mountain and on to ,pleasant ,hill4 ,this coming up the ,cumberland ,mountains with a load means much more than a stranger can comprehend4 ,when it takes three hours to go two miles we may suppose there is some pulling4 ,you can find some hills in ,western ,massachusetts and in ,maine1 but they are mole mounds as compared with the brow of these mountains4 ,but the men who had the hauling in charge were patient and faithful to the last4 ,the work went slowly on for lack of funds4 ,twice it stopped1 and no sound of saw or hammer was heard4 ,some prophesied it would take seven years to complete the building4 ,troubled dreams and wakefulness came1 and sleep said1 8,if you don't go on with the work ,i will not come to you40 ,i then said to the carpenter3 8,come ,monday morning1 and ,i will be responsible for your pay40 ,he came1 and ,monday's mail brought me #f from the ,sunday-school in ,edgecomb1 ,me4 ,i paid the carpenter ,saturday night1 and said1 8,come again40 ,he came1 and ,monday's mail at #aa ,a4 ,m4 brought #g

markets and railroads were far away1 and even money absent1 to-day the house stands finished4 ,the last thing1 the furnishing1 is being done4 ,so we are planning to christen it with services there next ,sabbath1 and on ,monday enter it with our growing and promising school1 which1 ere long1 if friends stand firm to its interests1 is to be one of the bright lights in the ,state of ,tennessee4

funds1 ,god has enabled me to engineer the work till ,i can see that ,he means the house shall stand complete1 without so much as a nickel of debt upon it4 ,we have also organized a ,congregational ,church1 and have in connection with our work another church at ,pomona1 and ,sabbath-schools in all three4 ,i preach twice each ,sabbath1 riding twelve miles in the saddle4 ,with increasing faith in ,god and this mountain work1 which demands much grace and not a little grit1 ,i ask the prayers of those who pray4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,indians4 ,a ,,visit ,,to ,,the ,,dakotas4 ,,by ,,secretary ,j4

,rev4 ,a4 ,l4 ,riggs1 who had come the year before to take up the newly initiated work of ,rev4 ,j4 ,p4 ,williamson1 who removed up the river thirty miles to open a mission upon the reservation of the ,yankton ,sioux4 ,at that time ,mr4 ,riggs had already displaced the cabin home and cabin school-house by a frame residence and a frame chapel school-house about #cjej4 ,now ,i find that the chapel has been spread out upon the sides and elongated in the rear1 with sliding doors to shut off each of the several new parts into additional recitation and ,sunday-school rooms1 and the whole to be crowded for morning prayers and ,sabbath service4 ,there have also come on1 the ,dakota ,home for ,young ,women1 the ,bird's ,nest for ,little ,children and the ,cottage for ,little ,boys1 each of the three under a matron1 and the ,dakota ,hall for ,young ,men1 with one of the teachers' families there in charge4 ,then come the well-built shops for shoemaking1 carpentry and blacksmithing2 and lastly1 the three-story dining-hall1 with accommodation for a hundred and fifty at the tables1 with rooms for teachers and workers1 and a whole story yet to be finished off1 when funds are in hand1 to accommodate more girls4 ,the whole is heated by furnaces and supplied with the most approved apparatus for cooking1 baking and laundry work4 ,but1 beyond this expanding of the shell1 ,i find the inner institution matured into a good deal of character and strength4 ,though it has grown by itself1 it has come to be very much like our best boarding-schools at the ,south4 ,the course of the year makes up more than two hundred pupils1 and there are now here one hundred and thirty4 ,the mass of them have learned the ,english1 and the classes are taught in it4 ,many of them have been advanced in ,english studies4 ,the rgime everywhere takes on the ,christian type4 ,a great majority of the scholars have been brought to a personal acquaintance with ,christ4 ,a good number of teachers and preachers have already been sent forth4 ,music--vocal and instrumental--brings in its refining influence4 ,a splendid corps of teachers is employed4 ,every pupil1 male and female1 has some work to do4 ,the shops for blacksmithing1 carpentry and shoemaking have each a competent workman as instructor1 and those departments are run under the closest inspection4 ,i have seen one ,indian doing a fine job of shoeing horses1 that most important of all work in blacksmithing4 ,mr4 ,riggs1 the father of the ,theological ,institute of ,chicago ,seminary1 has brought the same feature in here4 ,and so for two weeks1 about twenty-five men1 young pastors and divinity students1 coming in from their fields1 are drilled in the practical ,bible doctrines and methods of preaching and pastoral work4 ,the lectures have run from two to four in a day4 ,clearly it has been a season of stimulus and of replenishment to the young brethren4 ,those who were pleased with the young people from this school1 who sang at the ,chicago ,council1 at the ,new ,haven ,anniversary and over the ,east1 last fall1 will be glad to learn that at least half a hundred of equal cultivation could be sent out as specimens4 ,three native teachers are here employed1 and they can use either language4 ,it has been a great delight to me to hear ,pastor ,artemas ,ehnamani preach in his own pulpit in the presence of his church1 that numbers a couple of hundred1 and without the chopping up of his address by the intervention of an interpreter4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,chinese4 ,,by ,,rev4 ,f4 ,b4 ,,perkins4 ,mr4 ,pond has just left for ,san ,francisco1 after a week of exhausting toil for the ,chinese missions here and in ,santa ,barbara4 ,for his relief1 ,i have undertaken to write this letter1 that his vacation--for so he calls it--may not be altogether farcical4 ,i do it the more readily for the opportunity it gives me of saying some things which your readers would not be likely to learn from him4 ,it has long been my conviction that1 in proportion to the means employed1 no form of ,christian work on this coast yields so large a revenue as ,chinese missions4 ,i am sure this is so as regards that carried on under the direction of the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 ,and the explanation ,i find largely in the ,christ-like devotion of your superintendent and his coadjutors4 ,it is but a single illustration of this spirit which ,mr4 ,pond's recent visit offers4 ,both at ,santa ,barbara and ,san ,diego the missions have lost their rented premises1 and are literally homeless4 ,it seems imperative that1 if the work is to go on1 they should no longer be subject to the disabilities of rented buildings4 ,but it is a fixed principle of this mission1 on no account to incur a debt4 ,so it is of ,mr4 ,pond1 as regards himself2 but for ,christ's needy ones he has more than once accepted the burden4 ,this he has now again done4 ,in ,santa ,barbara he purchased a lot for #fjj1 for which land he is personally liable1 but which he holds in trust for the mission4 ,on that lot1 by the close of this week1 a chapel will be erected by a ,christian friend1 at a cost of #cdj4 ,for this property a moderate rental is to be paid by the mission1 and when the sums thus paid shall amount to the price of the land it1 together with the building1 7toward which the little ,chinese band have already paid #aej71 becomes the property of the mission4 ,in ,san ,diego the course pursued has been the same1 only that here1 owing to the rise in real estate1 the amount assumed by ,mr4 ,pond and one other friend of the work1 is #b1ejj4 ,by similar acts of ,christian self-sacrifice in the past1 the mission has already become possessed of property to the value of #aj1jjj1 all without the burden of debt1 or an even temporary diversion of its funds4 ,but is the mission work worth all this toil and sacrifice8 ,mr4 ,pond1 in a carefully guarded statement1 says1 that since the establishment of this mission the ,chinese converts number over #fjj1 at least fifty having been added during the past year2 and this statement1 you observe1 makes no mention of results wide reaching in their beneficence which do not involve this radical heart work4 ,if this statement be accepted as correct1 the question is answered4 ,but is there really any such a character as a ,christian ,chinese8 ,many persons say1 8,no40 ,it is but a day or two since a ,christian man denied it1 in my hearing4 ,my reply to him was to ask for his standard of judgment4 ,if his demand was that ,chinamen should cease to become ,chinese1 and1 abandoning all their associations1 habits and prejudices1 become simply ,americans1 doubtless they are not ,christians2 but in that case1 neither are converts from many another nationality to be reckoned as ,christians4 ,or if absolute freedom from infirmities and faults be made the test1 this would shut them out1 but it would shut out many others also4 ,alas6 it would be fatal to the hopes of the writer4 ,but if the test be the same we apply to ourselves1 love more or less enthusiastic1 loyalty true1 even if troubling1 to our ,divine ,master1 and our judgments be according to the law of charity1 then we have no more reason to look askant upon a ,chinese than upon a ,bohemian1 or a negro brother4 ,the grace of ,god works out in these and in those alike1 encountering similar obstacles and being triumphant in about an equal degree4 ,ex uno disce omnes4 ,he was a house servant1 and naturally not of amiable disposition or agreeable ways4 ,but some twelve months ago his employer began to notice a change in his bearing1 a more cheerful observance of his duties and a generally pleasanter manner4 ,awhile ago he came to the lady1 and said3 8,mrs4 ,b41 ,i'm a ,christian4 ,i don't know as you have thought it1 but ,i am40 8,yes1 ,jim10 was the reply1 8,i have seen it for some months past40 ,yet he is as much a ,chinaman now as ever1 and no more faultless perhaps than an ,american ,christian4 ,but he is 8following on10 reaching out after likeness to the ,master1 and that is about as much as most of us can claim4 8,but so much of the work seems fruitless owing to the migratory life these people live40 ,well1 twelve years ago ,i was among the prospectors of ,southern ,colorado4 ,during one of our meetings1 ,i noticed a ,chinaman enter the room4 ,through all the service he maintained a respectful and interested attitude1 and at the close1 taking his hand1 ,i asked him2 8,you sabe 7understand78 ,you know our ,jesus1 our ,saviour40 8,yes1 ,i know40 8,where did you learn80 8,san ,fis40 8,who taught you80 8,miss ,loomis 7,rev4 ,dr4 ,loomis740 ,so ,i had come across one of these waifs in the heart of the ,rocky ,mountains1 and two years after he had gone out from his ,christian teacher4 ,i don't know how clear his views of sin and salvation were1 nor how hearty his trust in the atoning ,saviour4 ,that could only be learned by longer intercourse1 and ,i have never seen him since4 ,but he knew enough to find his way into that little cabin in the wilds of ,colorado1 and to speak with apparent intelligence and sympathy of the things of the kingdom4 ,nor could ,i doubt that he stood as the representative of very many who go out from these mission schools1 and are lost to all but the all-seeing eye of ,infinite ,love4 ,the work in their behalf may seem to be1 but it is not1 fruitless4 ,from this number let us not doubt it1 many will stand forth at last1 redeemed unto ,god1 monuments alike to the unspeakable grace of our ,lord ,jesus ,christ1 and to the patient fidelity of ,christ's disciples4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,bureau ,,of ,,woman',s ,,work4 ,,miss ,d4 ,e4 ,,emerson1 ,,secretary4 ,please remember to renew the 8shares0 in the support of teachers4 ,those who desire it can have their shares transferred from year to year to new fields1 thus obtaining more varied knowledge of the work from the missionary correspondence4 ,,extracts ,,from ,,letters4 ,missionary4--,i am happy to write you that the #be pledged for the support of a teacher is again ready for you4 ,the letters received were enjoyed very much in the ,society and ,i know greatly increased our interest and membership4 ,new ,york ,missionary ,union4--,our auxiliaries voted the #a1ajj the coming year for the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 7support of three missionaries47 ,i have promised1 as last year1 bi-monthly letters from each of these teachers4 ,our auxiliaries much enjoy the letters and greatly miss them if anything delays4 ,local ,church ,society1 ,conn4--,the amount of our pledge is collected and will be forwarded4 ,we have received the missionary letters monthly and we take them into our ,mission ,circle1 and read them1 and frequently they are read from the pulpit so that all may hear the good results of help given4 ,we wish the good work ,god-speed4 99 99 99 99 99 ,it will be remembered that after the ,annual ,meeting in ,new ,haven the ,indian students from the ,santee ,normal ,training ,school made a short campaign among the churches4 ,the writer of the following letter was one of the students1 and in it she tells a friend what she saw and thought as she went from place to place4 ,dear ,friend3 ,i will now try to tell you how much ,i enjoyed our trip ,east4 ,we had good and hard times1 too4 ,we left ,santee ,oct4 #abth4 ,we were gone for eight weeks4 ,it seems very nice to get back to ,santee4 ,i think more of the school every time ,i go away and come back4 ,we stopped over ,sunday at ,chicago2 then we took train for ,new ,haven1 ,conn41 and it was a very tiresome journey1 for we never had been on the train for such a long distance4 ,we reached ,new ,haven ,tuesday evening2 then the next afternoon we went to the meeting4 ,the church was just packed1 so they had the meeting in two churches and we had to go back and forth to sing4 ,we sang in ,dakota and ,english4 ,i want to tell you some of the places we went to4 ,it will take me too long if ,i try to tell you all4 ,we met a great many of our teachers' friends4 ,we went to ,essex and had a very pleasant afternoon at ,miss ,pratt's home4 ,we felt as though we were going to see some of our old acquaintances when we knew that we were to meet our teachers' friends4 ,as we went in ,boston ,i thought of you and wondered how many times you had been in that depot4 ,i like ,boston very well1 but not as well as ,i like our old home ,santee4 ,at ,providence ,i met one of my teachers1 ,prof4 ,wilson1 and ,i went home with him and spent the night at his house and had a very good time4 ,at ,northampton1 after the service was out1 two young ladies invited us to go with them the next morning to ,smith ,college1 so we went around and saw the most of the buildings2 then again we went to ,south ,hadley ,seminary1 and ,i could not make out which school ,i liked the best4 ,i think ,i never saw so many young ladies at once as ,i did that morning4 ,when we were in ,newport one thing we wanted to see very much was the ocean2 but it rained when we reached the city1 so we were afraid that after all we could not see the ocean2 but some kind friends sent their carriages and drivers to take us out to the beach1 and we girls got in one carriage1 and we all enjoyed that ride very much because we saw the great waters we had heard so much about4 ,as we went along and saw the large1 beautiful houses closed1 ,i wondered why the people built such beautiful houses just for the summer4 ,i think they might have used their money some other way just as well as to spend all on houses like that4 ,perhaps it was wrong for me to wish it1 but ,i did1 when ,i saw so many right along the beach4 ,i wished we had some of that money for our work out here1 and if we did it would do more good than just to stand as those houses did1 just for the looks4 ,at ,groton we had a very pleasant evening with some young ladies who invited us to take tea with them4 ,many of them got so interested in our people that they kept asking us about one thing or another all the time4 ,on our way home we stopped at ,new ,york and ,brooklyn1 and we saw the ,suspension ,bridge and we were surprised to see it2 ,i wanted to see it very much2 and one more thing too1 and that was the ,niagara ,falls4 ,we went across on ,canada side and when we saw the ,falls it seemed as though there never could be so much of water falling down at once4 ,i think it is just grand to see it1 and to hear the great noise it makes4 ,at ,southport we had a very pleasant place to stay and we enjoyed being there with such good kind friends and to know that we had such friends at the ,east4 ,one morning while we were staying there we had a very hard storm1 but in the afternoon it cleared off and we went to the shore and gathered some shells and stones to take home with us4 ,we were there for two or three days1 while ,miss ,ilsley1 ,mr4 ,shelton and ,mr4 ,riggs went to other places4 ,at ,norwich1 ,miss ,ilsley wasn't with us1 so ,john played for the short time she was away4 ,we missed her very much4 ,sometimes the people asked us such funny questions4 ,at ,boston we had service ,sunday evening1 and after the close of the meeting one lady came up and said1 8,is your teacher ,indian80 ,it seems she would have known the difference between us and our teacher1 for she was not ,indian at all4 ,then again at one place--,i don't remember just where--one lady said to me1 8,how is it you all have such good teeth80 ,i told her 8,i don't know40 ,then again she said1 8,do the ,indians ever have the toothache80 ,i told her yes1 and ,i think she was surprised to hear my answer4 ,since ,i have come back ,i want to help more in this work1 and ,i hope ,i will be able to do so in the future by ,god's help4 ,your friend1 ,,jennie ,w4 ,,cox4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,for ,,the ,,children4 7,letter from a colored boy to his teacher47 ,dear ,s4 ,s4 ,teacher3 ,i want to extend my thanks and gratitude to you for that bright light you presented to me yesterday 7,i mean that ,bible74 ,for ,god says it is a lamp and a light1 and ,i believe it4 ,i have been wanting one for a long time1 because ,i am trying to be one of the very best ,christian boys1 and ,i need ,god's word to teach me and instruct me how to be the best boy4 ,i hope you will have a large attendance in your class to-morrow1 and ,i hope they all may be on

wise sayings and doings it is only what might be expected4 ,little ,elbert1 between three and four years of age1 with his golden text in mind1 took his kitty on his knee and very gravely said to it1 8,kitty if you lack wisdom1 ask of ,god and he will give it to you40 ,looking at the new moon one evening he said1 8,there's a piece broken out of it20 and one evening when the setting sun cast out those rays peculiar to it when the air is full of moisture1 he exclaimed1 8,mamma1 the sun is sticking its feet at us40 ,little ,ernest1 three years old1 was awakened in the night by hearing our church bell ring a fire alarm4 ,he began to cry1 saying 8,our ,sabbath-school is burning up40 ,little ,johnny1 five years old1 was so interested in class over the story of the blind man going with clay on his eyes to the pool of ,siloam to wash1 and returning seeing1 that when in the general review before the school1 he sitting in the middle of a full house1 the question was asked1 8,what did ,christ tell the blind man to do after anointing his eyes10 ,johnny could wait no longer but spoke out in a clear ringing voice1 8,i dess the blind man was glad of it1 don't you80 ,callie's answer1 in
