shall be glad to have them use the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 as the almoner of their charities1 so far as they may prefer this channel4 ,but1 above all1 we want the general work to be known and prosecuted4 ,use us1

work in the homes of the people1 with the women1 young and old4 ,we are not reaching the women as we should4 ,a man cannot do the needed work4 ,the women of the ,north want to do something for their colored sisters of the ,south4 ,here is an opportunity for them4 ,the homes of these people must be reached4 ,as many of them are1 morality is well-nigh impossible4 ,the vice that is engendered in them is frightful4 ,do1 my brother1 give me a missionary4 ,do beg the ,christian women of the ,north to help in this matter4 ,oh1 the fearful degradation and ruin that stream from some of the homes of

of ribbons red and blue--are noted through the land1 our ,southern field is not neglected4 ,our readers will see1 in a majority of the communications from our schools and churches in this number1 references to the increase of a temperance sentiment1 and an abstinence practice2 here in a church1 and there in a school2 here in the reformation of dissipated lives1 and there in the preoccupation of the minds of the young4 ,intemperance is a giant evil ,south1 as well as ,north1 among the colored people and the ,indians1 as well as with the whites4 ,thank ,god for every victory4 ,pray ,god for wisdom and patience with which to withstand1 and then to stand4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,in ,a ,,nut-,,shell4 ,the only caste-oppressed races in ,america are the ,negroes1 ,indians and ,chinamen4 --,the quarrels of the white people in ,america over the negro have caused more bloodshed1 and wasted more treasure1 than all other causes combined1 and we are not yet at peace among ourselves about him4 ,the ,south contains a little more than one-third of the population of the country4 ,it has #c1eej1dbe persons over ten years old who cannot read2 the ,west has only #dji1age4 ,the ,south has #a1acg1cjc voters who cannot read their ballots2 the ,west has only #bag1djc4 ,have patriots no duties here8 ,the ,negroes in the ,south are more accessible to the ,gospel than any other people on earth2 they welcome it2 they are near us1 speak our language1 their fervency will add a warmer element to our piety1 and they seem called of ,god to carry the ,gospel to the land of their fathers4 ,have ,christians no duties to them8 --,the ,american ,missionary ,association bears to these caste-oppressed races the help they need in education1 practical morality and piety4 ,it has founded or fostered permanent educational institutions for training ministers and teachers4 ,in its forty-five schools are #f1ifb scholars1 and its former students are now teaching #ajj1jjj pupils4 ,its church work lays sure foundations4 ,sixty-two churches are under its care1 with #d1abg members--an average of sixty-six--nearly all the growth of fifteen years4 ,it has seventy-four theological students in training2 has prepared many ministers of the colored race1 and has sent out nine colored missionaries to ,africa4 ,seldom1 if ever1 has so much been accomplished in so short a time at so small a cost4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,our ,,finances4 ,we have reached the half-way station in our annual journey4 ,the statement of receipts1 in this number of the ,,missionary1 is the sixth since the last annual meeting4 ,our friends and patrons naturally desire to know how we have weathered the stormy seas1 and what the prospect is of reaching port in good condition1 and we desire to tell them frankly and fully4 ,we might refer them to the monthly report1 but we know that many of them are too busy to keep accounts for us1 their agents4 ,we know too well how the financial pressure of the year has crippled one and another of them4 ,their letters--not empty1 either--have told us1 in confidence1 from time to time1 of their losses1 and we know that their gifts this year have testified to unusual self-denials1 and to deepening convictions of the greatness of their work through us4 ,and the best of it all is1 that these gifts have not diminished from either of the classes from which our work is supported1 the living or the dead4 ,for the ability to make this statement1 and in times like these1 we thank you1 generous friends1 and we thank ,him whose money you are permitted to administer4 ,we take courage1 and congratulate the poor for whom we labor1 and whose hope is in your remembrance of them4 ,in addition to the receipts above mentioned1 we have received1 towards the payment of our debt1 to ,april #ast1 #h1iba4gb1 and also pledges1 for the same purpose1 of #f1iej1 the most of which is conditioned on the payment of the whole debt within the year4 ,these figures encourage us to hope that our friends will go on1 in the same quiet and inexpensive way1 until our whole debt shall be entirely extinguished1 and our hands unloosed for a more earnest grapple with the great task of lifting up the needy and ignorant1 and yet hopeful races1 for which we labor in ,america and in ,africa4 ,brethren1 we may not be thought politic by all1 but we believe in perfect frankness with our donors and the whole public4 ,we have a diminishing debt1 curtailed expenses1 and an increasing revenue4 ,what1 then8 ,shall any one withhold a dollar designed for us on that account8 ,by no means4 ,rather continue to endorse our policy of economy and thrift4 ,you are showing your confidence2 do not withhold it4 ,and the need8 ,the work is pressing on us from all sides4 ,we have to plan continually how to make each dollar do the work of two4 ,the facts given in this number of the ,,missionary1 and those of the past few months1 show some of the wants which crowd upon us continually4 ,a new and commodious building must be erected at ,tougaloo1 ,miss41 to accommodate the overflow of students1 whose beds have crowded into recitation rooms and out-buildings1 and who are now sheltered in temporary barracks of rough boards4 ,a new building is greatly needed at ,atlanta1 to accommodate its enlarged work1 and to meet the just expectations of the ,state ,legislature1 which has granted it #h1jjj a year1 for several years1 for current expenses4 ,the finishing of the church at ,golding's ,grove1 and the enlargement of the school building there1 are absolute necessities4 ,these are but specimens of the claims of this sort pressing upon us4 ,added to these1 is the imperative demand for the extension of our church work in new and promising fields1 stretching down to the farthest limits of ,texas4 ,the enlarged ,african work is making increasing demands upon our treasury4 ,besides all this1 the three coming months will witness the return of our ,southern workers1 when the payment of their last bills and traveling expenses must be met4 ,with such an outlook before us1 we are compelled1 while uttering our gratitude for the liberality of our friends1 to entreat them not to forget the pressing wants near at hand4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,our ,,new ,,cartridges4 ,we have prepared with much care1 and have in hand1 a series of pamphlets1 to which we desire to attract the attention of our readers4 ,no4 #a is a brief history of the origin and growth of the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 ,it is contained in sixteen pages2 shows the ,providential opening up of the work on this side and on that1 and serves to answer many questions--e4g41 how we came to have a mission in ,africa--many of our friends1 even1 being ignorant of the fact that this was our first work1 and that we have a permanent fund set apart by its donor for this very purpose4 ,the same is shown to be true1 in part1 as to the work among the ,indians and ,chinamen2 while the demands of the freedmen1 and the opportunities after emancipation1 are their own vindication in the statement of the facts4 ,no4 #b is the ,african pamphlet1 and contains 7#a7 a history of the ,mendi ,mission1 carefully compiled by ,dr4 ,dana1 now of ,minnesota4 ,it is much more full and detailed than that read by him at ,syracuse1 and printed in the ,december ,,missionary4 ,the valuable suggestions at the close of the paper are repeated only in their headings4 7#b7 ,a brief supplement brings the history down to the departure of the second party of colored missionaries1 ,feb4 #bcrd1 #ahgh4 ,large extracts are given 7#c7 from the sermon by ,dr4 ,scudder1 of ,brooklyn1 full of information1 quaintly put1 as to the land1 its products and its people2 7#d7 from an address by ,dist4 ,sec4 ,pike1 on 8,the ,relation of the

,york1 on the 8,relations of ,england and ,america to ,africa04 ,the history1 the present aspects1 and many important relations of the ,african ,mission1 are set forth with great fulness in this pamphlet of forty-eight pages4 ,no4 #c contains the address by ,rev4 ,joseph ,cook1 at the ,annual ,meeting in ,syracuse1 revised and corrected by him4 ,those who heard it will not need to be reminded how vividly1 in his own inimitable way1 he set forth the perils to the nation from the three despised races1 if suffered1 by neglect1 to remain in ignorance and degradation4 ,no4 #d is on the

of ,indian ,commissioners is full of condensed information and valuable suggestion4 ,the tabulated results of the peace policy during nine years appeared in the ,,missionary for ,march4 ,in view of these figures1 the ,report says3-- 8,these results in industry1 education1 and ,christianity in the short space of nine years confirm our belief1 often expressed in former reports1 that the peace policy is the only right policy1 and there should be no longer any doubt as to its continuance as the permanent policy of the government4 ,and yet every year the proposal is renewed to recommit the management of ,indian affairs to the ,war ,department1 and abandon the work of civilization so well begun4 ,the grounds upon which the transfer is urged1 namely1 greater economy1 a more honest purchase and distribution of ,indian supplies1 more complete protection of the frontier settlers from ,indian massacres1 and a more effectual prevention of ,indian wars--these are repeated year after year1 in ,congress and in the public press1 and as often patiently answered and fully refuted40 ,as to economy1 a tabular comparison is published1 which shows that 8supplies contracted for and furnished to military posts have cost much more--in some cases thirty-eight to seventy-eight per cent4 more--than at the neighboring ,indian agencies40 ,it is asserted that the quality of goods supplied1 as well as the prices paid1 command the approval of all competent and disinterested judges1 while the vigilance exercised over the transportation and delivery of these supplies has been productive of most satisfactory results in securing for the benefit of the ,indians the appropriations made in their behalf4 ,the ,report refers to the conclusion of the wars with ,sitting ,bull and ,joseph1 and calls attention to the fact that1 though it may have appeared as though the disturbances had been quite general1 in fact only a few hundreds1 even of the ,dakotas and ,nez ,perces1 have been engaged in them4 ,the wars of the last nine years 7of the peace policy7 have been more limited1 and have cost far less than in any other equal period of our history as a nation4 ,during the forty years preceding #ahfh1 the direct cost of the ,indian wars averaged twelve and a half millions a year4 ,even the war with ,joseph demonstrated the effect of civilizing agencies1 in its freedom from the barbarities to women and children1 which have attended such outbreaks in former years4 ,civilization and ultimate absorption into the body politic should be the one purpose steadily pursued4 ,military means cannot accomplish it4 8,civilizing agencies must come from civil life40 ,the testimony is that the influence of military posts in or near ,indian reservations is generally prejudicial to good morals1 good order1 and progress in civilization4 ,to teach ,indian children to read and write1 or ,indian men to sow and reap1 are emphatically civil and not military occupations4 ,the summary of recommendations1 which are not new1 but none the less worthy of consideration on that account1 is as follows3 #ast4 ,government of ,indians by law4 #b;d4 ,division of reservation lands and homestead rights4 #c;d4 ,larger appropriations for the support of schools4 #dth4 ,consolidation of agencies1 and reduction of expense4 #eth4 ,gradation of salaries on an equitable basis4 ,in view of the excellent results1 and the greater promise of the peace policy1 and of the imminent danger of the speedy transfer of the ,bureau of ,indian ,affairs to the ,war ,department1 it behooves every friend of the red man1 who hopes for his ultimate civilization and citizenship1 to bring every legitimate influence to bear upon our legislators to prevent the consummation of this scheme4 ,reader1 do you know the mind of your senator and representative upon this subject8 ,if you do not1 will you not find it out1 and do all that you can to make him a minister of peace1 and not of war1 to these poor people8 99 99 99 99 99 ,,king ,,david ,,and ,,king ,,solomon4 ,the fourth article in ,scribner's1 for ,april1 is entitled 8,king ,david40 ,that regal personage proves to be only ,david ,king--a long1 lank1 awkward1 shy1 near-sighted ,yankee1 who1 up among the ,new ,hampshire hills1 felt an inward call to go ,south and teach the blacks4 ,he was a man not much missed from his old home1 and not warmly welcomed at his new one4 ,he was good1 but not wise nor practical4 ,the blacks came to him1 young and old1 in flocks1 to learn to read1 and he taught them morning1 noon and night4 ,but all the while the white planters 8regarded the schoolmaster as an interloper1 a fanatic1 a knave or a fool1 according to their various degrees of bitterness40 ,he tried the experiment of offering work to the idle blacks1 but with little success4 ,and now a ,northern carpet-bagging politician1 of the baser sort1 came into his vicinity1 and finding him an honest man1 with some influence over the poor freedmen1 set himself to overthrow it by offers of whiskey and promises of power4 ,and poor ,david1 innocent1 and ignorant of human nature1 makes weak and ineffectual fight with him1 as he had before with haughty planters and ignorant negroes1 yields the ground and goes home again1 baffled and discouraged4 ,this charmingly told story has but one fault1 and that1 probably1 is without intention4 ,it may give the impression that ,king ,david is a fair sample of the ,northern teachers in the ,south1 and that his ill-success is the record or the prophecy of their general disaster and defeat4 ,the true lesson of the story1 and that which may have been1 if any1 in the writer's mind1 is only this3 ,that this ,david was no ,solomon4 ,that goodness1 unsupported by wisdom1 is not sufficient capital for educational work4 ,that a man who is a failure at home1 amid favorable surroundings1 will not be likely to succeed abroad1 alone1 with everything against him4 ,that the lame1 the halt and the blind do not make good recruits for the war against ignorance and sin4 ,just to offset this story1 which has doubtless had its counterpart in ,southern as in ,northern schools and villages1 we give the story of one of our teachers in the ,state of ,south ,carolina1 as written to us by himself only a few months ago4 ,its simple1 straight-forward truthfulness will1 we think1 make amends for its lack of the spiciness and crispness of expression1 which give so delicate a literary flavor to the story of ,king ,david3 8,i was born in ,western ,new ,york1 and1 as all my friends continue to reside there1 ,i still call it my home4 ,i have been a member of the ,household of ,faith since #ahei2 ,i have been engaged in teaching the freedmen since the fall of #ahff1 and1 for the greater part of the time1 my salary has been quite small2 but ,i love the work1 and expect my reward hereafter4 8,i came to this place in #ahgb1 and organized a ,normal school1 and am still at its head4 ,i met with much opposition1 but ,i put my trust in ,god1 and went on doing what ,i thought was right1 and soon saw a change coming over the people4 ,students began to come in from neighboring counties1 and those who had talked most against me now came to visit me4 ,i organized the first temperance society for the colored people in this part of the ,state1 and thus got quite a hold on the people4 ,the organization is still continued1 and is doing much good4 ,several of our students1 who are out teaching1 have organized similar societies1 and ,i hear good reports from them4 8,early last fall1 a couple of young men from another county1 asked me if they could not stay in a vacant room in the building and do their own cooking4 ,i1 of course1 gave them permission1 and did what ,i could to assist them in preparing the room4 ,i had some old lumber in the wood-shed1 and from it we made a bedstead and table2 had boxes for chairs and newspapers for window shades4 ,it was soon reported that we had good accommodations for boarders1 and1 before winter had fairly set in1 there were nineteen men living in the room1 which measured #cj x #bb4 ,we had only enough lumber for four bedsteads1 and on these the nineteen men slept for four months4 ,a part of them would retire at #h o'clock1 and sleep till after midnight2 then arise and let the others take their places4 ,they all did their own cooking1 and1 as we had but one cooking vessel1 they were all night doing their cooking for the next day4 ,those who sat up the fore-part of the night spent the time in cooking1 and while they were asleep the others were cooking in the same room4 8,twenty-three of our students are teaching in three counties1 and over #gjj pupils are under their care4 ,one of these closed his school for a week1 and walked sixty miles1 in order to be present at our closing exercises in ,june4 8,we have a weekly prayer-meeting1 which is well attended1 and is very interesting4 ,we also spend an hour and a half each ,sabbath afternoon in reading and explaining the word of ,god40 99 99 99 99 99 ,,gen4 ,o4 ,o4 ,,howard4 ,we wish to add our congratulations1 to the many which have already been given1 to ,gen4 ,howard1 upon his final release from the legal difficulties that have so long perplexed him4 ,it is not easy to understand the reasons for the persecutions heaped upon ,gen4 ,howard's head4 ,his ,christian life1 so kind in its spirit1 and so efficient in its activities1 should not1 in this day1 provoke enmity4 ,his record as a soldier1 making one among the bright pages in the history of our ,civil ,war1 and his recent campaign among the ,indians1 in which he was conspicuous for his active energy1 as well as for his courtesy to a brother officer1 do not find critical censors4 ,it is in his connection with the ,freedmen's ,bureau that the rock of offence is found4 ,we claim to know something about that ,bureau1 and1 therefore1 speak the more freely4 ,we believe that no appropriation made necessary by the results of the rebellion was more wise1 nor has any trust under the ,government been more conscientiously executed than that of ,gen4 ,howard in its administration4 ,so far as any part of the sum was used to relieve physical suffering1 it was divided impartially2 and1 in the appropriation of the larger part of it to the education of the colored people1 there was the clearest comprehension of their highest wants4 ,the money was appropriated with just reference to the claims of the different religious bodies co-operating with the ,government1 and the educational institutions founded by it will be

of the largest ,congregational ,churches in the ,state4 ,in one1 the annual offering to the work of the ,american ,missionary ,association was made that day4 ,but1 before the contribution was taken1 the pastor offered a prayer that both impressed and instructed me4 ,it was a prayer of special consecration of the offerings that were about to be made4 ,he prayed that the people might give thoughtfully and intelligently2 that ,god's blessing might rest upon the gifts1 accompany them to the treasury1 and out upon the mission field of the society4 ,no mere formality was this petition1 but a glowing1 heartfelt prayer for the object in view4 ,i am quite prepared to hear that many other pastors are equally thoughtful to publicly consecrate the benevolent contributions of their congregations1 although my observation leads me to believe that such fidelity is exceptional4 ,but why should it not be the rule8 ,indeed1 when one comes to think of it1 the wonder is that it is not4 ,so large and important are the interests involved--interests connected with the extension of ,christ's kingdom2 so sacred are many of the gifts--the devising of generous hearts and the fruits of self-denial--surely very tender should be the spirit of the occasion when the offering is made4 ,yet not only on account of this should consecrating prayer be offered when church contributions are taken1 but also on account of the money that is thoughtlessly1 and often unwillingly1 thrown into the contribution box4 ,it would be an interesting revelation to have placed before us just what proportion of the so-called benevolent contributions is consciously given as an offering to the ,lord4 ,i fear it would be startlingly small4 ,now1 all this money that is thrown into the ,lord's treasury1 by givers who have no higher prompting than that which governs them when they toss a nickel to an organ-grinder on the street1 needs to be consecrated4 ,it is rather sarcastic to couple the word 8benevolent0 with such contributions2 they sadly need prayer before they go out on their mission of benevolence4 ,consecrating prayer would tend to correct this great evil by inspiring thoughtfulness4 8,how much owest thou thy ,lord80 would have a recognized place in deciding the amount to be given4 ,the ,lord is a party in the transaction4 ,in the persons of the poor and the perishing1 ,he stands over against the treasury1 and rightfully asks for evidence of loyalty to ,his cause4 ,are crumbs that fall from an over-supplied table1 are drops that trickle from an overflowing cup1 a sufficient evidence8 ,christ knows the heart4 ,think of what it is to bring to ,him the mere waste of our plenty1 and call that charity4 ,there is a possibility of actual sin here1 whose guilt is but increased by explanation4 ,it was given thoughtlessly--no reference to the debt owed1 no reference given to the needs of the cause to be aided--thoughtlessly6 ,that is precisely where the ,christian conscience should sting most keenly4 ,for thoughtlessness in what is paid to ,christ1 is a most aggravated form of sin4 ,grocery bills1 clothing bills1 rent and taxes shall be paid with thoughtful reference to what is justly due1 and the world shall label him dishonest who tries even to quibble about the point2 but upon this transcendently higher plane of obligation1 involving the question of what the soul owes its ,god and ,saviour1 many ,christian men will do what1 on the lower plane1 they would scorn as highly dishonorable4 ,prayerful thoughtfulness will work reform in this respect1 and develop a more genuinely benevolent ,christian character4 ,the money1 too1 that comes from unwilling hands needs consecration4 ,many of the dimes and quarters that keep the deacons so long after the service laboriously counting1 had they voices and permission to speak1 would tell a story complimentary neither to the generosity nor benevolence of their donors4 ,they would say3 8,we are here chiefly because the contribution box was passed1 and our donors did not like to appear niggardly4 ,the hand that dropped us was so held that the man passing the box could not see us had he wished to1 but we made quite a noise as we clinked down into our places1 and by our clatter produced an impression that there was a good deal more to us than there is40 ,the hypocrisy entering into this portion of the contribution needs casting out by prayer4 ,another good would be secured by the offering of a consecrating prayer when benevolent offerings are made in the churches4 ,the contribution box would be held in worthy esteem as a genuine means of grace4 ,by many it is so held2 it should be by all4 ,it is no intruder in the sanctuary2 it has the sanction of ,divine appointment1 and is the necessary outgrowth of 8pure religion and undefiled0 in the heart4 ,its visits to the pews should be hailed with delight1 for it brings even a greater blessing to the giver than it carries away to the receiver4 ,still1 it is not thus welcomed by every one4 ,indeed1 such an aversion have some people to it that an announcement a week beforehand that it is to be used1 is to make certain that ,sunday will find them sick4 ,the nature of the contribution-box sickness need not be particularly inquired into1 but 8indisposition0 is a good-sounding word with which to designate it1 and it is so elastic in meaning withal1 that it can be made to stretch over into the domain of conscience4 ,yet a very serious sickness it is1 and should be so regarded4 ,next to willingness and ability1 is opportunity to do good4 ,to turn away from the opportunity is to confess unwillingness2 and such confession1 the ,apostle ,james unqualifiedly affirms1 is denial of having love to ,god4 ,indisposition1 therefore1 means1 on apostolic authority1 that the love of ,god dwells not in the heart4 ,i desire to commend the example of the ,ohio pastor to all pastors who desire to increase the benevolent contributions of their churches4 ,let the contributions be consecrated by special prayer4 ,it interferes with no method that may be in use to take contributions4 ,it will impart new power

there was almost an entire change in the workers4 ,in the face of many discouragements1 there is a remarkable degree of confidence on the part of the pupils4 ,this is manifest in the increased attendance1 which1 in the ,normal and ,intermediate ,departments1 is sixty per cent4 larger than last year1 and this without special effort on our part4 ,the ladies' hall is full1 and some are compelled to occupy a room in the mansion4 ,the young men's dormitories have been more than full1 so that we have been obliged to put up some rough barracks1 for the accommodation of twenty young men4 ,before the building could be finished1 half the rooms were taken4 ,recitations are heard in ,professor ,miner's office and private sitting-room1 as well as in the public sitting-room at the ladies'

#ab1jjj1 the first floor for recitation rooms1 and the second and third for dormitories for young men4 ,we ought to have it before our opening next year4 ,the ladies' hall must also be enlarged1 for we cannot put the young women into barracks as we have the young men4 ,there is every indication of greatly increased attendance another year4 ,we must not close our doors4 ,will the readers of the

commenced it has been a matter of a good deal of study with us1 who are now in charge of this institution1 how to so employ the labor of the students as to have it a source of some income to the school4 ,during the past year1 the farm brought in very little revenue1 owing to drought and other unfortunate circumstances1 and we have been compelled to purchase largely some things which the farm ought to produce in excess of our needs4 ,we are expecting to cultivate seventy or eighty more acres than was attempted last year1 and1 with better cultivation and the blessing of ,god1 it is hoped we shall produce as much corn1 hay1 potatoes and vegetables as we consume during the year1 even if there should be no surplus to sell4 ,on ,april #ast we had over sixty acres of corn planted4 ,during the winter term we have had forty-six young men working for half their board4 ,the principal work in ,january and ,february was preparing wood for a year to come2 but since the #ast of ,march1 the farm and garden have taken all the labor4 ,and this will be true for the remainder of this school year1 which closes in ,june1 when our heaviest crop 7corn7 will be 8laid by40 ,we are hoping gradually to work into crops which will occupy less ground1 and still be more remunerative than corn and potatoes4 ,to this end1 last fall1 we commenced in a small way with strawberries by setting some two thousand plants1 which are doing remarkably well4 ,from these1 we expect to increase till we have several acres in strawberries4 ,being on the line of the ,illinois ,central and ,new ,orleans ,railroad1 we have direct communication with a good ,northern market for such fruit4 ,the prime want of the farm is fences4 ,during the war1 and the few years immediately succeeding1 the fences in this part of the country were nearly annihilated1 in consequence of which the plantations are almost all connected together1 with no line of fences between them4 ,we need at least four hundred rods of fence to divide this farm from neighboring plantations4 ,if there was rail timber on the place1 we would soon have the fences2 but such timber is scarce here1 and lumber must be obtained for this purpose from the pine region1 fifty or sixty miles south of us4 ,much is lost every year1 in consequence of the exposed condition of our crops4 99 99 99 99 99 ,industrial ,department for ,girls4

,the programme contained many passages of ,scripture condemning the use of wine and strong drink1 also showing the terrible effects and the final consequences of its use4 ,in addition to the ,bible showing of the matter1 we had declamations1 dialogues1 recitations1 music1 and remarks by the pastor1 all pertaining to the same subject4 ,all our classes 7except one of very little children7 were represented4 ,we were almost proud of our scholars1 they performed their parts so well1 and we had given them very little time for preparation4 ,we had a crowded house1 many stood about the doors1 and

non-residents4 ,rice culture is the principal employment4 ,the colored people are rapidly becoming land owners1 and are remarkably successful in making their payments4 ,just now1 their means are mostly consumed in this effort1 consequently they can expend very little in improving their habitations2 yet there is improvement in this respect4 ,they are beginning to come out of the swamps and build by the roadside4 ,as slaves1 they were not allowed to dwell near the 8big road02 therefore1 the woods and the swamps seem to them more like home than the roadside4 ,but without instruction they will not achieve much domestic improvement4 ,in fact1 they need instruction in every direction--in house-building1 in road-making1 in agriculture1 in domestic economy1 in the improvement of time1 in business1 as well as in schools and churches4 ,a missionary to this people should be an ,oberlin4 ,an ,oberlin's work will pay richly4 ,the whole field is accessible to missionary labor4 ,very many desire instruction4 ,they listen eagerly to kind1 plain1 ,christian advice1 and will travel many miles for the privilege4 ,certainly these are the marks of a good missionary field4 ,but to energize this prosperity1 the meeting-house should be put into comfortable condition4 ,it is a large but unfinished structure4 ,in damp and chilly weather1 it is uncomfortable--so much so1 that the pastor doubts about the propriety of holding1 in the winter1 meetings at night4 ,the place of ,divine worship should be1 not only comfortable1 but refining and elevating4 ,the people who have good

many of our friends ,north1 and in ,england1 have but little idea of the real condition of our people4 ,i am sure that if the representations that ,christ and ,his disciples gave of the ,christian life be true1 there must be a much greater and deeper work among the people here before the ,spirit of ,god can make them ,his4 ,i have thought and said often1 and ,i say it yet1 that the work of the ,a4 ,m4 ,a41 or a work of the same kind1 is the only thing that will save the people of the ,south4 ,nine out of every ten know but little or nothing of what it is to live an upright life1 and1

delegates1 by ,prof4 ,lord4 ,rev4 ,mr4 ,andrews read a paper of very great interest1 on the 8,mission of ,congregationalism in the ,south40 ,he first dwelt upon the history of ,congregationalism1 especially in its freedom from complicity with slavery1 its prominence in the anti-slavery movement1 and its comparative freedom from the sect spirit1 as peculiarly indicating its call to work among the freedmen4 ,he then brought out the peculiar features of the polity1 independence and fellowship1 and showed how they tend 7#a7 to develop and sustain republican institutions1 and to fit the church member for his duties as a citizen2 7#b7 to promote intelligence2 7#c7 to sustain an unshackeled pulpit1 and 7#d7 to develop personal piety1 including moral reform and revivals4 ,this is a very bare

what ,i feel sure was the universal feeling1 interest and admiration for the good work ,prof4 ,lord and his co-laborers are doing4 ,many of us were specially interested in the 8,industrial

colored missionaries1 ex-slaves1 from ,fisk ,university1 and also to bid them farewell on the eve of their departure2 under the care of the ,american ,missionary ,association1 for the ,mendi ,mission1 on the west coast of ,africa4 ,the missionaries were very cordially greeted by many of the old1 and also the new1 friends of the ,african race4 ,william ,crosfield1 ,j4 ,p41 a life-long friend of the oppressed race1 presided4 ,after an appropriate hymn1 prayer was offered by the ,rev4 ,stanley ,rogers4 ,then the chairman said3 8,it gives me great pleasure to preside at such a meeting of this society4 ,these missionaries before you are the first-fruits from the ,fisk ,university1 which was established at ,nashville1 ,tenn41 for the education of those who were freed from slavery by the late ,civil ,war in ,america4 ,and now1 here they are ready for work in that great mission field of ,africa4 ,it is a vast field4 ,and it is to be hoped that the ,british people will do their part in the aid of this most important enterprise4 ,fisk ,university was introduced to the ,english people a few years ago by the ,jubilee ,singers1 who have done wonders towards its support40 ,the chairman then turned and added3 8,we must not forget the wives of these young missionaries2 we must give them a shake of the hand1 as a token of our interest in them40 ,the ,rev4 ,dr4 ,o4 ,h4 ,white 7one of the secretaries of the ,freedmen's ,aid ,society71 then gave an interesting statement of the origin of the ,american ,missionary ,association1 of its plan and work for the ,african race1 and of the formation of the ,freedmen's ,missions ,aid ,society1 with the ,earl of ,shaftesbury as ,president1 to be auxiliary to the ,association in ,new ,york4 ,and he stated that the united societies are now making a special effort to send missionaries from among the freedmen to that dark and long-plundered continent beyond the sea--,africans to teach and to save ,africans6 ,the ,rev4 ,andrew ,jackson1 one of the missionaries1 then spoke1 and gave a very interesting account of their call to the work1 and of the great increase of the missionary spirit in ,fisk ,university during the year1 and of the great self-denial on the part of the colored parents and of pupils1 that larger numbers may get an education1 and so be prepared for a greater usefulness among their own benighted people4 ,the chairman then called on the ,rev4 ,hugh ,stowell ,brown1 pastor for many years of the ,myrtle street ,baptist ,church4 ,he stated his great interest in the ,jubilee ,singers1 and in the efforts making to send the ,gospel to that long-neglected ,africa1 which is now so wonderfully opening up to trade and commerce1 and especially to ,christianity4 ,he expressed his strong hope that these young missionaries would be brought safely to their field of labor1 and that they might be greatly successful in their work1 and that many more might follow their example1 and go forth to that great ,african field4 ,rev4 ,albert ,miller 7a true type of the ,african race71 then addressed the meeting1 with the warmth and glow peculiar to the sable children of the summer and more genial climes4 ,he spoke of the depressed condition of his people in ,america1 and of the need on that dark continent1 to which he and his associates were now going1 under the ,divine lead4 ,he expressed the desire of his heart that all ,christians should pray and give for the evangelization of the benighted millions of ,africa4 ,the ,rev4 ,mr4 ,pearson1 ,m4 ,a41 pastor of the church1 next spoke1 in the most cordial manner1 of his great pleasure in welcoming these young missionaries and the freedmen's cause to that ancient historic church4 ,he commended the plan for sending educated ,africans to that great work to be done in those vast fields1 which have proved so fatal to ,anglo-,saxon life4 ,he said the ,british people had special reasons for taking part with the ,american people in this effort to redeem ,africa from the darkness and doom of the past centuries4 ,if the work so well begun was followed up1 as it ought to be1 the time was not distant when we should see a far better day for that dark continent with its millions of people4 ,in the absence of the ,rev4 ,mr4 ,wech1 ,m4 ,a41 who was expected to speak1 his ,elder1 ,john ,patterson1 ,esq41 was called to fill the place4 ,he spoke with the pith and pathos characteristic of those from the ,emerald ,isle4 ,he recalled a little of the past history of ,liverpool and contrasted it happily with the present state of things1 when so many1 from the different denominations of the city1 could come together so harmoniously to greet the young missionaries from ,fisk ,university1 on their way to the west coast of ,africa to teach the knowledge of the ,gospel to the benighted of their race4 ,the ,rev4 ,wardlaw ,thompson1 in a few words1 cordially commended the ,freedmen's cause to the hearts and to the pecuniary support of the friends of ,africa4 ,he then led the congregation in an earnest prayer for the blessing of ,god upon the missionaries1 in their voyage to their distant home1 and upon their work for many years among their own people4 ,an appropriate hymn was then sung1 and the services1 which had been highly satisfactory1 were closed with the ,benediction4 99 99 99 99 99 ,wanted--,cloth1 ,bibles and

be made up for clothing1 it will prove a blessing to many a suffering one4 ,the disadvantages and sufferings through which this people have to pass are indescribable4 ,i have had many calls for ,bibles1 but regret to say ,i have been unable to honor any4 ,we have a very flourishing ,sabbath-school1 and are in great need of ,sabbath-school papers and tracts4 ,the day-school is larger4 ,some

children to learn the lesson in the ,bible1 believing that the ,bible is the best ,sabbath instruction with which we can store their minds4 ,learning six verses places a child on the roll of honor1 and reciting them perfectly gives him two credit marks4 ,for four ,sabbaths during the past year there was no ,sabbath-school1 hence the highest number which a child could receive was ninety-six4 ,that number was received by one ,indian girl1 and it is the best that has ever been done in the school4 ,last year the highest number was eighty-six1 and that was better than the year before4 ,ten

drunk10 and ,i should be asked why ,i did not go and try to prevent it1 and should reply1 because ,i was afraid it would be stormy1 it would be a poor excuse4 ,it was a hard place to attempt to elevate the ,indians1 though ,i held several services with them1 but there was a prospect that ,i might prevent their falling as deep into the pit as they would otherwise4 ,the result justified the work4 ,one drunken ,indian was arrested1 one drunken white man and wife were sent home2 and it was plain that1 had ,i not been there1 no one could have told where it would have ended4 ,out of the seventy-five who went with me1 ,i do not know of more than half a dozen who have been drunk within four years1 although nearly all drank more or less previous to the adoption of the present policy2

expectations4 ,no like school among white children1 so far as my observation goes1 shows more enthusiasm on the part of the scholars1 more zeal on the part of the teachers1 or better progress1 when the obstacles to success are taken into consideration4 ,it is almost impossible to induce the children to talk ,english4 ,only when forced to do so1 will they speak in other than their vernacular

comprehending and grasping ideas of knowledge4 ,we have no difficulty in filling our limited accommodations2 and1 could they be increased sufficiently1 we should expect an average attendance of one

discharge of the duties assigned them1 do submit the following1 with the recommendation that the same may be communicated to the parties addressed1 either through the public press or by letter1 as follows3 ,to the ,rev4 ,pond1 pastor of the ,bethel,a ,congregational ,church ,society1 and members of the aforesaid society3 ,we1 the members of the ,bernal ,heights ,club1 having been informed that you1 and the members of your society1 are devoting your energies in the endeavor to teach and instruct ,chinese in the ,english or our language1 in order to ,christianize them1 and bring them up to our standard in all their requirements 7a futile undertaking71 knowing as we do that they consider their theory of spiritual economy and their doctrines concerning the soul's immortality1 and such things1 far superior to our own1 and they treat us and all our endeavors to bring them over to the theory and belief with absolute contempt1 should convince us1 without doubt1 of the fallacy1 we take this method of expressing our disapprobation of the course that you are pursuing1 in encouraging ,chinese in this country4 ,we do not object to your following the commands of our ,divine ,master4 ,where ,he enjoins you to go out to all the world and teach and preach1 ,he did not command the whole world to come to you4 ,he said go out to the world and preach4 ,therefore1 if you must preach and teach ,chinamen1 go to ,china1 and you will there find an opportunity to unburden your full load of ,christianity for the heathen lepers4 ,we tell you now1 and we shall tell you again1 in all earnestness and candor1 that we shall and will handle this question without gloves1 and that the ,chinese must go4 ,our organization is perfecting to attain that end1 and the beginning of the end is not yet4 ,we tell you these facts in all friendship4 ,do not think that we array ourselves as enemies1 but as friends of our race we will defend and protect you as far as we can1 consistently with our obligation2 but we tell you you must stop this ,chinese business4 ,if there is no other way to perpetuate ,christianity in this country but through the medium of the ,chinese1 why1 let ,christianity slide2 if you cannot get a society of your own race and kind to support you1 without the help of ,chinamen1 quit the business you are at1 and try something else4 ,do not think we have signaled out your especial case4 ,other similar ,chinese ,christian factories will receive their full share of attention in due time in their own districts4 ,to expel the ,chinese from our shores is a duty we owe to ourselves and to posterity1 and we will not relent one particle until that end is attained2 and1 in our struggle to attain that end1 we have a right to expect the sympathy of all4 ,we have a sufficient guarantee to warrant us in asserting that every member of the ,workingmen's ,party of ,california will do his duty in this regard40 ,justice to ,san ,francisco demands that we append to this deliverance of the club the following editorial response1 which appeared the same week in the ,mission ,mirror1 a paper published in the section of the city in which ,bethany ,church and ,bernal ,heights are located3 8,,mobocracy4 8,if that ,bernal ,heights ,club don't quit fooling with the bull1 the first thing they know1 that animal will turn and gore them4 ,their late pronunciamento against the ,protestant ,christian churches generally1 and ,rev4 ,w4 ,c4 ,pond in particular1 for teaching the ,english language to the ignorant heathens in our midst1 stamps the majority of that club as a body of men who1 in point of civilization1 stand away below the ignorant1 helpless pagans at whom they profess to strike4 ,no one for a moment believes them so reckless as to mob a ,christian church4 ,it is only another one of those little bluff games1 for which political anti-,coolieites have become famous1 and in which they propose to frighten somebody into their way of thinking4 ,we

,twenty-three years ago1 in one of the northern counties of ,mississippi1 there was born a little slave boy4 ,no white blood coursed in his veins4 ,no one cared for his birth save1 perhaps1 his weary slave mother4 ,some one called him ,albert1 and that was all1 for slave children had only one name4 ,no future opened before him1 for slave children had no future1 but service to a master4 ,he grew up to a life of poverty and toil and neglect1 and early learned what it was to be cold and hungry and sorrowful4 ,by and by began the fierce struggle between slavery and freedom4 ,the slaves were sent from place to place1 to prevent their escape to the ,union army4 ,albert wandered about with them--to ,tennessee1 to ,texas1 to ,georgia--till the close of the war found him back in ,tennessee1 and near the city of ,nashville4 ,here he picked up his letters1 and1 at the age of fourteen1 learned to read4 ,in #ahfi1 he went to a school taught by one of the first student teachers from ,fisk ,university1 who encouraged him to look to something higher than the spelling-book and reader4 ,in #ahgj he entered that institution4 ,then began the long1 hard struggle for an education4 ,for two years he groomed horses and did housework4 ,for two years more he took care of a drunken young man1 the son of wealthy parents in ,nashville2 and often might ,albert have been seen with his ,greek or ,latin book1 far into the night1 sitting in some saloon or grocery1 waiting for the young man1 whose aged mother had made him promise that he would never leave her son in a saloon at night4 ,poor1 awkward1 and dressed out of missionary barrels1 often the recipient of student aid1 sometimes well-nigh disheartened1 but always pressing on2 once bought off by ,mr4 ,spence for the sum of ten dollars1 when his father wanted him to work in the field1 he toiled slowly on1 step by step1 winning honor and respect1 and loved by his teachers as1 perhaps1 few students of ,fisk ,university were ever loved4 ,always good in scholarship1 always among the first of his class1 in nine years he passed from the alphabet to within three mouths of a college diploma4 ,he was converted in #ahgb1 and at once gave himself to the ministry4 ,in common with most students of ,fisk ,university1 he had thought1 though not very definitely1 of missionary work in ,africa4 ,on the #ast day of ,february1 there came a call for two men for the ,mendi ,mission4 ,albert had his plans4 ,he hoped to graduate from college1 a thing few colored youths have attained4 ,he had two orphan brothers and a little sister1 to whom he purposed to give an education and ,christian training4 ,perhaps he had also his ambitions in the ministry1 where educated colored men will soon rise so high2 but he laid them all aside when ,god called1 and with a fellow-student1 whose soul was mightily stirred by that call1 he said1 8,here am ,i1 ,lord1 send me40 ,he said1 8,how ,i should feel1 to have ,god call1 and ,i not be ready60 ,his last request to the students of ,fisk ,university was that they would make this its motto3 8,her sons and her daughters are ever on the altar40 ,to-day ,albert ,miller is on the shores of ,africa4 ,the prayers1 the tears1 the affections of the institution1 are with him4 ,the prayers of the ,christian heart of ,america will be with him1 and his companions1 in that distant land4 ,did not ,god1 who chose ,abraham and ,david1 and ,paul and ,luther1 choose him for such a time as this1 and make all the years of his slavery--his privations1 and his discipline--but the means to fit him for
