our readers1 our fiscal year 7closing ,sept4 #cj7 will be nearly ended4 ,by careful economy for two years past1 we kept our current expenses within our receipts1 and we hope that the receipts of this month will make this the third year in which our expenditures will not add a dollar to our debt4 ,our debt is now our great solicitude4 ,last year it was reduced1 by the sale of stocks1 etc41 from #ic1bcb4ii to #fb1haf4ij4 ,this year we have received to ,september #a1 in cash1 #ad1ajh4bb1 and in pledges 7partly conditioned7 #g1eej1 making #ba1feh4bb1 thus reducing the amount--if the pledges are paid--to #da1aeh4fh4 ,shall not an effort1 so nobly begun1 be pushed forward to completion8 ,we feel called upon1 as never before1 to urge the wiping out of this debt4 ,we have retrenched in office expenses1 and have been very guarded in annual appropriations1 that it might be paid4 ,generous doners have given liberally--some of their abundance--more of their poverty--and the amount is reduced within grasp4 ,we have rejoiced that the liberality of the churches and individuals have1 in one month1 by special efforts1 well-nigh relieved a sister society--the honored ,american ,board--of a balance on its annual appropriation of #hj1jjj4 ,a little more than half that amount1 if given to the ,a4 ,m4 ,a41 will pay off the remainder of a debt that has hung upon it as an incubus for ten years4 ,the payment of that debt will honor the cause of the ,master2 it will unfetter our hands2 it will cheer us and our friends for future work2 it will be a boon to the ignorant and needy masses for whom we labor4 ,we appeal to the wealthy1 the liberal1 the self-denying1 to all who love ,god and ,his poor1 to make a final effort1 by special gifts1 to reach an object so near at hand and so important4 ,our books will be closed promptly ,sept4 #cj1 for current receipts and expenditures1 but for receipts for debt they will be kept open till after the ,annual ,meeting2 and we trust that meeting will have the joy and glory of announcing the complete extinction of the debt4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,our ,,annual ,,meeting4 ,the ,thirty-second ,annual ,meeting of the ,american ,missionary

,,catholics ,,among ,,the ,,freedmen4 ,the ,independent closes a careful and1 in the main1 accurate summary of the work of ,christian education among the negroes1 with a view of what the ,roman ,catholics are doing4 ,after speaking of the large estimates of money expended1 and pupils taught by that church1 it says3 8,nothing approaching a confirmation of these estimates has been brought to our notice4 ,we have carefully examined the ,roman ,catholic papers with reference to this subject for a year past1 and have been able to glean from them only the most barren record of facts and isolated movements4444 ,we believe that1 if the ,roman ,catholics really had facts to prove that they have made the progress they claim to have made1 they would not hesitate to publish them conspicuously4 ,as they fail to produce them1 we are contented to believe1 for the present1 that they are doing no more than their fair share of the work1 if so much1 and receiving no more than their share of the conversions40 ,in a later issue1 the same paper says3 8,we are glad to have been able to capture and expose the spectre which has been frightening ,protestants so much4 ,we mean the wholesale conversion of negroes to ,catholicism4 ,in a recent article in our #8,religious ,intelligence' we gave all the information we could gather about the extent and results of ,catholic missions among the freedmen1 and there was nothing in it to alarm or annoy anybody4 ,the ,catholic ,review quotes liberally from the article1 and virtually concedes the accuracy of our statements in the following sentences3 8#8,like our contemporary1 we have noticed the 8extravagant estimates0 to which it refers2 but we never happened to notice their having been made by any ,catholic authority whatever4 ,they usually make their appearance in papers of the ,christian ,advocate stamp1 and are employed as a stimulus to rouse missionary zeal in people who are much more readily moved to give money by their hatred of ,popery than by their love for what they believe to be the truth taught by our ,divine ,lord4 ,the ,independent wants facts to substantiate these boastings4 ,we suggest that it can always be accommodated with facts enough to substantiate the truth of whatever assertions are actually made by our missionaries4 ,they can hardly be held responsible for any wild stories which other people may circulate at their expense4' 8,those who have been most troubled by reports of the gains of ,catholicism among the negroes may give to the winds their fears40 ,we1 too1 have been for more than a year making special inquiries4 ,we have read the large estimates1 which have been through the newspapers1 of money expended1 and pupils taught4 ,the statement that #fjj1jjj in gold 7nearly one million dollars in our currency7 was given to this work by the ,propaganda at ,rome1 in #ahfg1 and that1 in the same year1 sixty-six priests landed in ,new ,orleans to undertake missionary work among the blacks1 we trace to the ,christian ,intelligencer of that year4 ,the fact is1 that it is extremely difficult to get at accurate and authorized statements in regard to all ,roman ,catholic missions4 ,their funds are not raised by appeals1 based on special needs or special encouragements1 or addressed to the general public2 and their policy is one of quiet foundation-laying1 rather than of demonstrative up-building4 ,it is not an easy task1 even1 to secure reliable information of what they are doing here at our doors1 or behind their own4 ,recognizing this difficulty1 we are not ready to agree with the ,independent that1 if the ,roman ,catholics had facts to prove1 they would not hesitate to publish them conspicuously4 ,nor are we ready yet to congratulate ourselves that we 8have been able to capture and expose the spectre10 while we are obliged to confess that we have not had it in our grasp sufficiently to take the measure of its outlines1 or tell its height and girth4 ,a careful reading of the #8virtual concession' of the ,catholic ,review makes it amount to virtually nothing1 except an ingenious evasion of responsibility for any statements which may have been made4 ,it does not even say that the estimates have been extravagant1 but uses that expression as a quotation from the ,independent4 ,it only suggests that assertions actually made by missionaries 7who are careful not to make assertions7 can always be substantiated4 ,we would merely caution the friend of the negro1 and those who fear the influence of ,romanism over him1 that an argument based on ignorance is not very securely founded4 ,and1 while we would not have omne ignotum pro magnifico1 or believe because the spectre is vague1 it must be very large2 on the other hand1 we would not say of one whose wont is to hide itself1 8,because we cannot dissect it1 it is nothing40 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,yellow ,,fever4 ,the yellow fever1 in its ravages in the ,south1 pays no regard to race1 color or previous condition4 ,whites and blacks alike have suffered from its sudden and malignant attacks4 ,death levels all distinctions4 ,the statement which has been often made1 that the negroes are proof against this pestilence1 seems to have been ill-based1 as intelligent observers of its ravages in former years utterly contradict it4 ,at any rate1 it is not true of this year's scourge4 ,quite opposite assertions have been made in regard to the conduct of the blacks during the panic which this deathly visitor has occasioned4 ,so contradictory1 in fact1 that we suspect the truth to be that they have acted very much like white people of the same intelligence4 ,some have stood at their posts1 and done noble work as nurses1 as ministers1 and in humbler stations4 ,and some1 doubtless1 like those of other races1 have been carried by their fears away from the most sacred of duties4 ,how has it affected our work8 ,of course1 our schools in the ,south are closed during the hot months1 and most of the teachers and white pastors are in the ,north4 ,straight ,university1 at ,new ,orleans1 ,la41 is closed1 and ,rev4 ,mr4 ,alexander1 the pastor of the church1 is at his ,new ,england home4 ,at ,grenada1 ,miss41 which has been almost depopulated by the fever1 we had a school4 ,the two teachers1 however1 we believe went to the country before the pestilence reached that beautiful town4 ,the only one of our workers whom we know to have been stricken down is ,rev4 ,w4 ,w4 ,mallory1 the colored pastor of the church at ,memphis1 ,tenn41 who was still sick at our last advices4 ,we have reason to hope for his recovery and restoration to full health4 ,we have transmitted some sums of money which have been put into our hands for special relief to the suffering colored people of these infected districts1 to which we have added what we felt justified in doing from the funds of the ,association4 ,but the peril is not over yet4 ,many days must intervene before the thrice welcome frosts may be expected to kill the germs of this fell disease1 and famine always comes in the train of continued pestilence4 ,it is the ,lord's work to avert suffering and relieve physical want4 ,may the fountains of charity1 which have been opened so freely through the land1 continue to flow increasingly until there shall be no more thirst4 99 99 99 99 99 ,a ,,foul ,,chance ,,and ,a ,,fair ,,chance4 ,a correspondent writes us upon the subject of how the freedman is getting on1 as follows3 8,on my way up the ,mississippi1 between the ,states of ,arkansas and ,mississippi1 ,i fell into conversation with a planter living on the right bank of the river1 and1 after the manner of all ,yankees1 asked him how the negroes were getting on4 ,he was a short1 chunky1 red-faced man1 and his account was gloomy in the extreme4 ,he said that he would not undertake to tell me all the trouble he had with his #8help1' for1 if he did1 ,i would not believe him at all4 ,he said that he could not advance them anything at the beginning of the season1 for fear of their running away and leaving him without hands in time of harvest2 that they were so lazy that all they cared for was to get bread and meat for the least possible amount of work2 that1 although all his hands were deacons or preachers or #8exalters1' they stole so that he could not raise any pigs or chickens2 that the members of the church were more licentious than the #8world's people'2 that they got angry and burned his gin-house every year1 etc41 etc4 ,he was the first man that ,i had met1 during a residence of nine years at the ,south1 who would admit that he was sorry the slaves had been made free4 8,on my way down the river1 at about the same point1 ,i had a conversation upon the same subject with a man residing on the other bank4 ,he was a tall gentleman of fine form1 with an intellectual1 genial1 open face4 ,in reply to my inquiries1 he said the freedmen were doing first-rate2 were industrious1 honest1 temperate and moral2 were acquiring property in stock1 tools and land2 and he found free labor more easily managed and more profitable than slave labor4 ,i referred to the conversation ,i had with his ,mississippi neighbor on my way up1 and asked him why their reports were so different4 ,with a good deal of animation and emphasis1 he replied3 #8,i can tell you why it is3 ,i just give my niggers a chance1 and he doesn't4 ,he has always brought them out in debt to him at the end of every year1 and has crushed out all their enterprise and ambition1 so that1 as he says1 the problem with them is how to get a bare living with the least possible amount of work4 ,all the nigger wants is a fair chance4'0 99 99 99 99 99 ,,indian ,,agents4 ,under the ,peace ,policy1 the ,government has entrusted to the ,american ,missionary ,association the nomination of six ,indian agents4 ,vacancies in these occur from time to time1 and applications for nominations are desired4 ,one vacancy now exists4 ,these ,indian agencies afford an admirable opportunity for usefulness to the right persons2 but they are not sinecures for incompetent men--whether laymen or ministers4 ,it is desirable that the applicant have some knowledge of farming and the simpler mechanic arts1 but it is essential that he present the best of credentials as to piety1 integrity1 business capacity and experience1 and ability to influence masses of men4 ,the salary ranges from #a1jjj to #b1jjj per annum1 according to the responsibilities and duties of the agencies4 ,bonds for the faithful performance of duty will be required by the government1 varying from #ae1jjj to #bj1jjj4 ,applications or inquiries may be addressed to ,rev4 ,m4 ,e4 ,strieby1 #ef ,reade ,street1 ,new ,york4 99 99 99 99 99 8,,indian ,,wars40 ,and so the latest ,indian ,war is over6 ,it is absurd to call such chases and skirmishes by so dignified a name4 ,small bands of ten1 twenty1 sometimes a hundred or two outlaws in revolt1 are hunted to death or surrender in the wildernesses of the ,far ,west4 ,we call them nations1 and this undignified pursuit a war4 ,it is1 in reality1 only the same thing which is continually being done in our great cities by the police4 ,law-breakers1 and men who avenge their own wrongs1 must be chased to their dens1 and either caught and chained1 or shot like dogs4 ,only that1 on the frontier1 the facilities for the violence1 and then for the escape1 are so much greater than in the city2 and that we have to send generals and colonels in the army after them1 instead of sergeants of police4 ,we pity the 8braves0 of the ,territories more than we do the 8roughs0 of the bloody sixth ward1 because they are more ignorant and more wronged1 and because the hindrances to a better life are even greater for them4 ,and we pity the gallant men of the army1 who are compelled to do this police work1 in dogging criminals to death4 ,among the recent dispatches is one1 telling of an encounter between six cow-boys and eight ,indians on the ,nueces ,river1 in which four ,indians were killed and one captured2 one of the boys had a flesh-wound1 and the others only wounds in their clothing4 ,generalship does not go for much in such guerrilla warfare4 ,west ,point tactics are not of much avail4 ,often1 in the brooks of ,new ,england1 the farmer's boy1 who goes fishing with a stick and a string1 when it rains too hard to work out of doors1 will bring home ten times as many trout as the city sportsman with eight-ounce rod1 a ,conroy reel and a choice assortment of flies4 ,perhaps a small army of cow-boys would serve us best on the frontier4 ,it is not fit work for real soldiers4 ,we do not mean a word of disrespect to them4 ,they have our sympathy and admiration for their fidelity and obedience1 and for not resigning when they are set to such work4 ,but how much better it would be if1 by fair treatment and honestly-fulfilled pledges1 we had made these ,indians both friendly and law-abiding--or1 even1 if now1 with patience and forbearance1 we should be persistently kind and true1 and see how long it would be before we and they should find each in the other1 8a man and a brother40 99 99 99 99 99 ,the difference between equal and identical rights is well illustrated by the action of the ,georgia ,central ,railroad officials4 ,travel between ,macon and ,savannah is so light that only one passenger coach is run4 ,by a partition this is divided into two parts1 furnished exactly alike1 one for white and the other for colored passengers4 ,the colored end being nearly empty one day1 a white man took a seat1 or rather four seats1 in it1 upon which the conductor told him that he was in the wrong end of the car1 and that the vice-president was very particular that no white persons be allowed to ride in the apartment for colored people4 ,a similar arrangement formerly prevailed on the street-cars in ,mobile1 and some of the old partitioned cars are still in use4 ,it is to be hoped that1 in the course of human events1 identical rights on steam-cars will not be considered any worse than on horse cars by the constituents of ,georgia's good ,governor ,colquitt4 ,,an ,,indian ,,hymn-,,book4 ,we have just received a copy of the ,hymns in the ,chinook ,jargon ,language1 compiled by ,rev4 ,mr4 ,eells1 missionary of the ,american ,missionary ,association4 ,it is not a ponderous volume like those in use in our ,american churches1 with twelve or fifteen hundred hymns1 but a modest pamphlet of thirty pages1 containing both the ,indian originals and the ,english translations4 ,the tunes include1

task to make hymns for such a people out of such poor materials4 ,let it be understood that these are only hymns for the transition state1 for ,indians who can only remember a little1 and who sing in ,english as soon as they have learned to read4 ,this little book is an interesting monument of missionary labor1 and full of suggestion as to the manifold difficulties to be encountered in the attempt to ,christianize the ,indians of ,america4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,indian ,,students4 ,the fifteen ,indian students who have been studying at ,hampton remain there through the summer4 ,many of our readers will look with interest for some news of them1 and be glad to hear of their continued progress and content4 ,like the other students who remain1 they work through the summer1 chiefly on the farm1 thus earning money for their clothing and support4 ,they are allowed a day and a half in school each week1 and thus1 under a regular teacher1 their instruction is kept up in the ,english language1 with object lessons1 and phonetic practice1 writing1 arithmetic and geography4 ,they also meet for an hour every evening1 from eight to nine1 with a few of the other students1 under the care of a teacher1 for conversation1 and games that are exercises in talking4 ,this conversation class is thus far a great success1 enjoyed by the ,indians and the other students who take pleasure in helping them4 ,they also have their ,sunday-school class1 and a prayer-meeting1 in which most of them are very constant and devoted attendants4 ,the devoutness of their simple prayers in ,cheyenne and ,kiowa cannot be doubted by a listener1 though understood only by the ,great ,spirit to whom they are addressed4 ,at their first meeting1 a gentleman present spelled out the question with the card letters for one of the young men to answer3 ,why do you like to learn8 ,letter by letter the startlingly impressive answer followed1 8,because it makes me a man60 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,wet ,,season ,,on ,,the ,,west ,,coast4 ,it will be borne in mind by those who have special interest in our ,mendi ,mission that it is still the rainy season1 to which all the peculiar perils of the ,west ,coast of ,africa are to be encountered1 and with great risk to the health and life of those who are not fully acclimated4 ,we have had weekly letters from our colored missionaries there1 to as late a date as ,aug4 #acth1 who have been passing the first test of their ability to endure the climate and resist the ,african fever4 ,none of them have entirely escaped the touch of its hot breath and icy hand1 and yet it seems to have for the most part passed them lightly by4 ,two of the female missionaries have been very sick4 ,one1 ,mrs4 ,dr4 ,james1 died early in the season4 ,thus far1 then1 we are encouraged to believe that1 as we hoped it would prove1 men and women of ,african descent endure the risks of transplanting and of naturalization far better than those who have neither themselves nor their ancestors been

the ground that they were not married according to law 7this is one of the greatest evils that exist here1 both among the white and colored1 there being no law to compel them to marry74 ,sunday was1 indeed1 a day of great refreshing1 there being before us eight adults to be welcomed into the ,church of ,christ1 and seven children1 in the arms of parents and god-parents1 to be consecrated to ,him4

ask you about now is this--if you will help me to take care of a few boys8 ,when ,i was here the first of the year1 the people came almost daily to get me to take their children and keep them in the mission1 but ,i told them that ,i was not allowed to do so2 if ,i were1 ,i would do it gladly4 ,their reason was that1 if they sent their children to the mission-school1 they would only be in the school a small portion of the day1 and at home most of the day and all night1 and1 therefore1 the evil influence which they would have over them in that time would overbalance what the teacher would teach them in the short time he would have them in the day2 and they wanted their children to 8,sabby-book10 and if they did1 they must be taken away from them4 ,they say that they don't think their children can become like the white man while they are with them2 the 8pickin'0 must be taken from the old people2 and ,i agree with them on this point4 ,the vices which the old people practice1 the children will surely follow1 if allowed to be where they are4 ,there are no children in this station1 and we said in our meeting that we would not take in any till we heard from you2 but1 as ,i am a single man1 you might not think of my taking any mission children4 ,therefore1 ,i write to ask you if you will allow me to take some of the boys offered me4 ,some of the people have promised to bring rice 7which is the most they eat7 for the children1 if ,i would only take them4 ,one being with these people every day can clearly see that the redemption of ,africa is in the little folks1 and1 therefore1 ,i think1 that a number of these boys and girls should be taken by somebody1 and trained1 as they are at ,hampton4 ,this part of ,africa is very little behind the ,south in #ahff2 and see what the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 has done in that dark place since that time8 ,there are only two things that differ here from the ,south4 ,first1 the colored people in the ,south had been taught to work with

themselves4 ,the agents and employees on the reservations have all the means to test every element of this question4 ,safety of ,life and ,property4 ,the agent1 ,edwin ,eells1 ,esq41 with wife and children1 has lived among the ,indians here seven years4 ,the employees and their families have lived here from one to six years each1 all without harm or fear4 ,at any moment the ,indians could have killed them1 stolen their property1 burnt the dwellings1 and fled to the rugged hills and mountains4 ,the agent has traversed the country occupied by his bands1 alone1 or with ,indians1 by day and by night1 without injury or alarm1 leaving his wife and little ones at their mercy4 ,whisky is excluded from the reservation1 but outsiders have sold it to the ,indians1 and exposed him and his household and company to danger from them1 when excited by it1 and the more when arresting them and arraigning and convicting the sellers in the courts4 ,but in no case has he or one of the whites received a blow1 or a stab1 or a shot1 or a threat from an ,indian during all these seven years4 ,like facts can be put on record of the safety of agents and employees1 and their families1 on most1 if not all the reservations in ,oregon1 ,washington and ,idaho4 ,their property has also been safe4 ,agent ,eells affirms that clothes are left out day and night1 tools are left in open sheds1 doors are never locked1 and yet they have never had an article stolen4 ,he adds that they have had no occasion to use force1 or show weapons1 except in the arrest or retention of criminals4 ,for this police service he commonly appoints ,indian constables4 ,what is true on these counts of the ,s',kokomish ,indians1 is true of other bands or tribes placed on reservations in this region4 ,those who live near them1 or who have observed them in all conditions1 both off and on the reservations1 for the last fifteen1 and even for thirty years1 can bear witness that they are usually quiet1 peaceable hunters1 fishermen1 or workers on farms1 or in mills1 or lumber camps1 or in kitchens and laundries for the whites1 exciting no fear among families1 and causing no danger to lone travellers on the prairies or in the forests4 ,the ,nez ,perc reservation has been traversed for thirty years by whites in safety4 ,prospectors have ranged alone among their mountains1 and through the gulches in all directions1 in search of gold and silver for twenty years1 in entire safety4 ,miners have followed and pitched their camps in every sort of lonely spot1 exposed to the attacks of these savages4 ,long caravans of goods1 in mule or wagon trains1 in the care of a few teamsters1 have passed back and forth among these ,indians1 and most of the other tribes1 transporting merchandise of all kinds during the last twenty years1 unmolested by the ,indians4 ,express-men have had no fear to go to any mining camp of the upper country in charge of millions of gold4 ,the mail carriers1 on horses1 have crossed and recrossed the whole ,indian country unharmed4 ,stages1 loaded down with mails and passengers1 have rolled along over many of the same routes1 having no more fear of ,indians than of the white settlers1 for whose convenience the post routes were established by government4 ,flocks and herds1 in care of a few scattered men1 have multiplied in all those regions4 ,the robberies and murders1 as the records of the courts testify1 have been committed by white men4 ,sheriffs trace nearly every crime and outrage to the white1 not to the ,indian race4 ,the charges of a thieving1 savage1 murderous spirit made against the ,indian in the public press1 on the street1 in the halls of debate and legislation1 are not borne out by the facts4 ,it is like charging a whole community with the vices and outrages of a small number of its members4 ,it is like putting the stigma upon the whole ,south for the atrocities of ,libby prison and ,andersonville4 ,it is the charge of fraud upon the ,u4 ,s4 ,a4 for the defalcations and embarrassments of a few of her citizens4 ,in war or peace the ,indian is cruel in revenge2 but we cannot forget the massacres of ,memphis4 ,the victim in his grasp is tortured2 but we remember the ,chisholm and ,hamburg horrors1 and those in the negro parishes outside of ,new ,orleans4 ,he destroys without mercy1 and devastates without remorse2 but the ,pittsburgh riots1 the ,new ,york mobs1 and the ,commune of ,san ,francisco1 belong to the white race4 ,he has burnt a few of our hamlets and settlers' cabins4 ,we have swept him and his household and his camps1--the only houses and cities that he can call his own--with canister and grape1 the hail of iron and lead and fire4 ,having no commissariat1 he has starved his prisoners4 ,without transportation or fortress for their safe keeping1 he often raises the black flag and slays them at sight4 ,but again and again1 at the outset of battle1 the order has moved along our line1 8,take no prisoners60 ,cold as steel1 we have made a jest of his life1 and hailed him good only when dead4 ,we have steadily driven him from one hunting ground to another1 over the rivers and beyond the lakes1 hemmed him in from the gulfs and the oceans1 crowded him off the prairies into rugged mountains1 compelled him to sell his native lands1 and have let loose the dogs of war upon him1 because1 forsooth1 he has had the manhood to resist our march of doom against his race4 ,if he has counted us the aggressors and the outlaws1 we have hurled back upon him the fiercest invective known to human speech4 ,if he1 in the wild delirium of madness1 has outraged and mutilated his captive1 we have1 in fiercer and more fiery passion1 counselled1 if not plotted1 his extermination4 ,progress in ,civilization4 ,proofs

at their homes on the ,s',kokomish reservation1 on the #aeth of ,august1 and saw twenty more of their frame-boarded houses enclosed within their small claims4 ,about thirty of the ,indians1 having finished haying1 were away from home1 most of them hunting in the mountains1 or fishing at the weirs4 ,those at home had neat1 well swept rooms1 usually a sitting-room1 bed-room and kitchen4 ,almost every one had a cooking stove1 with its furniture1 and crockery on the table1 or in the cupboard a few chairs or benches1 a clock in every house 7often two71 occasionally a rocking-chair and bureau1 always one or two bedsteads1 with beds and blankets1 and often covered with a neat quilt of the wife's taste and make4 ,cards and pictures were hung on the walls1 and some of their photographs1 also4 ,they were dressed in comfortable clothes1 and were glad of a call and a kindly greeting4 ,they are adopting the manners of their white teachers4 ,the school1 in charge of ,deacon ,g4 ,a ,boynton1 has a list of thirty-one pupils1 twenty-four of them pure ,indians1 six half-breeds1 and one little white girl4 ,in dress1 order and studiousness1 they rank with many of our common-schools4 ,in reading1 singing1 writing1 at the blackboard1 or in mental arithmetic1 they evince ability to learn what white children learn4 ,it is done more slowly1 partly because while reciting in ,english they probably think in their own more familiar language1 or in the jargon1 and thus fail to get or convey the meaning of words quickly1 and probably from lack of such mental training in their parents4 ,the laws of heredity hold in them as in other people4 ,better shaped heads and finer brain power may be expected of their children4 ,in church and ,sabbath-school1 ,indian parents and children meet with white parents and children1 join in singing1 listen to a sermon in the morning1 translated by the interpreter into the ,twana ,indian language1 and in the evening1 to one in ,english4 ,they exhibit a desire to learn the word of truth1 and are profiting by their instructions4 ,several of the pupils in the school have become ,christians and united with the church4 ,the testimony of the agent1 the missionary1 the teacher1 the physician1 the farmer and the carpenter1 is uniform as to their capacity1 and desire to improve and live like the whites1 and of their real progress in industry and manner of living4 ,they are trusted more and more1 and they honor the trust4 ,it is cowardly to despise them and cast them out like dogs4 ,it is noble to respect them as men and women1 who have the rights of life1 liberty1 and the pursuit of happiness4 ,they have claims on us for sympathy and help to secure these things4 ,it is a credit to lift up the lowest1 if we count them so4 ,those who know them best

homestead on the reservation4 ,it was made by ,gov4 ,stevens1 in ,jane #ahee1 at ,point-no-,point1 and ratified by the government in #ahei4 ,in private and public speeches1 with one voice1 they plead for their titles4 ,they want the patents promised in the bond nineteen years ago4 ,with these in hand1 they will improve their homes still more4 ,it is a reasonable demand4 ,the plan to remove them from these lands1 where they were born1 excites their fears and their rebellion4 ,we cannot expect them to rest in quiet and work with energy until we give them the motive of ownership in the soil they till and the timber they cut4 ,this is the question of the hour for the ,indian4 ,shall he own in law his garden and his field and his house1 or hold it as a tenant at the will of another1 liable

to say1 taken a step backwards4 ,in #ahgf1 through the advice of ,inspector ,watkins1 the day-schools were consolidated into a ,manual ,labor and ,boarding ,school at ,keshena1 which far exceeded our most sanguine expectations in numbers and interest4 ,the breaking out of the scarlet fever1 in the fall term of #ahgg1 compelled us to close the school1 with but four or five weeks' teaching4 ,it was renewed on the #fth of ,january1 but1 owing to the non reply to letters1 and the omission of instructions from the bureau1 only eight weeks' schooling has been had since ,january #ast4 ,at the present time we are waiting permission to employ a matron 7as necessary to the success of the school as a teacher74 ,this delay is to be greatly regretted1 as fifty children could be easily gathered 7the limit of our poor accommodations71 while the day-school has an average of less than ten4 ,crime and drunkenness is greatly on the decrease2 not a case of any magnitude of the former1 and but a very few cases of the latter1 coming to my notice for the past year4 ,this is a very hopeful sign with this tribe1 many of whom are wishing to become citizens4 ,with the exception of scarlet fever1 in a very mild form1 among the ,menomonees1 the sanitary condition has been excellent with these people4 ,as you are aware1 the religion of this tribe is about equally divided between the ,pagan and ,catholic1 the former adhering closely to their rites and ceremonies1 as for worship and the burial of their dead2 and1 when standing by1 as they render their thanks to the ,great ,spirit for 8our homes10 8our friends10 8our food10 asking ,his protection 8from storms10 8from disease10 and1 8when taken into the happy hunting-ground10 to be 8found in favor10 etc41 one cannot but feel that 8,he0 who 8is no respecter of persons0 accepts their thanks and hears their petitions1 although accompanied with the shaking of gourds and the pounding upon an ,indian drum1 instead of the grand ,te ,deum from the organs of our city churches4 ,while the soil for ,christian labor is unfavorable1 and tares find root1 to the choking out of good seed sown1 yet we should take heart in the increasing desire on their part for better homes and farms1 and the laying aside of the wigwam for good houses1 the gun and rod for the plow and hoe4 ,a slow and certain improvement in their habits from year to year is

darkness4 ,you will not lose your reward #8in my ,father's kingdom1' as ,christ says40 ,the next one which comes to hand is from ,hong ,sing1 and addressed to ,affoo4 ,it reads as follows3 8,i heard you some time ago talking about if we would like have one ,american ,association school in ,hong ,kong4 ,i feel very glad1 indeed1 if we have one school in ,hong ,kong1 that we may go back to our ,china and find a ,christian ,home4 ,canton and ,hong ,kong have two or three schools1 but not our ,congregational ,association4 ,you know how many of our ,christian brothers have gone back to ,china4 ,they find no ,christian home2 then they find very hard to be good1 and bye-and-bye feel cold with ,jesus40 ,joe ,lee and ,chin ,quong write to say3 8,i like the idea of having a ,christian school in ,hong ,kong very much1 indeed4 ,i think it will be great benefit1 not only to the ,christian boys1 but also to the poor heathen boys there40 ,chung ,sun says3 8,i very glad2 ,god very good to me4 ,i like bye-and-bye go back ,china2 tell father1 mother1 sister1 brother1 very good ,jesus4 ,if him all i4e41 his relatives no like me ,i go ,christian house1 call ,christian friend ,help me tell father1 mother1 sister1 brother1 how very good ,jesus is4 ,if all man1 woman love ,him1 bye-and-bye go heaven4 ,if he all beat and lick me1 ,i go to the ,chinese ,mission at ,hong ,kong2 very good1 all the same my own church40 ,ah ,king writes3 8,dear ,mr4 ,pond--,i am very glad in heart that ,i heard missionary schools be opened in ,hong ,kong4 ,i think you make these things for our ,christian brethren1 just like builder build a stone foundation of buildings--the wind cannot blow off it40 ,that is1 the mission work at ,hong ,kong will tend to secure the results of our work here4 ,without this1 the winds of contradiction and persecution in ,china will tend to blow our brethren who return there off the foundation4 ,perhaps these will suffice as samples1 and ,i think that all the points made in the other letters are referred to in these4 ,but the tone differs in different letters1 and the fact specially emphasized2 thus1 for example1 the chief point with one is1 8,if it mission at ,hong ,kong can be1 it can keep us doing good when we go back1 and ,i thank ,god with all my heart40 ,with another1 it is sorrow that we been without such a mission so long4 8,we plead10 he says1 8our brethren to help us4 ,i pray that ,god will bless you and open a way to make a mission in ,hong ,kong40 ,another says1 8,if men can't do it1 we all hope ,god has an authority has some way do it for us4 ,i hope our parents hear the gospel1 receive it all1 come to ,him forever40 ,a refuge from persecution is often referred to4 8,we have great many trials1 and ,i hope the ,christians do this thing1 then our brothers have a place to see each other4 ,we are far from each other in ,china40 ,i conclude with the following from ,jee ,gam1 whose name is familiar to most of our readers--the helper longest in service with us2 whose good judgment1 ,christian spirit1 and untiring zeal1 ,i have learned to greatly respect4 ,he says3 8,i was very much pleased to hear that you have written to the ,a4 ,m4 ,a41 requesting its permission and aid to establish a ,chinese ,mission in ,hong ,kong4 ,without attempting to add anything to what you have written1 ,i will tell you what ,ting ,ki1 the most active deacon of the ,london ,mission at ,hong ,kong1 said to me while ,i was there3 that the best way to accomplish the most good is to open a mission and a ,christian ,association similar to ours here4 ,he also said that the great need of the ,english language is now felt by most of the ,chinese in that city1 and in order to aid them1 such schools as we have here should be established4 ,this is the best way to reach them1 so as to interest them in the ,bible1 which is our chief aim4 ,as many of the people in that city are laboring people1 they could attend school better in the evening than through the day4 ,ting ,ki was very anxious to have me remain and establish such a mission-school1 and teach them the ,english language4 ,the brethren in the ,oakland school all feel as ,i do about this matter1 and they asked me to write for them1 as well as for myself40 ,i will add nothing to these expressions4 ,i confess that as ,i read them over1 they ring in my ears like the ,macedonian cry1 and ,i cannot but hope that our ,association1 hearing it1 will endeavor immediately to go into this modern ,macedonia1 8assuredly gathering that the ,lord has called us for to preach the gospel unto them40--,acts xvi1 #aj4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,children',s ,,page4 99 99 99 99 99 ,from a ,private ,letter of a ,pastor's ,daughter on a ,visit to ,talladega ,college1 ,alabama4 ,,by

and open buggy1 for ,anniston1 a little town twenty-six miles away4 ,we got up early1 and ate our breakfast before the rest1 then put the three satchels and water-proof1 shawl1 two umbrellas1 two blankets and pail of oats and lunch-basket in the bottom and back of the buggy4 ,then we three piled in1 stopping in the village just long enough to get some lemons4 ,we had a lovely ride--part of the way through the woods--catching glimpses of the mountains in the distance1 all along4 ,perhaps you know that ,alabama abounds in springs2 so1 whenever we go out for a drive or a picnic1 we always aim for a spring--taking a gourd with us for a cup4 ,we learned at a little town just below here that there was a fine spring a little farther on2 and here we are now right in the woods4 ,i am writing on a ,sabbath-school ,teacher1 which doesn't take the place of a desk very well4 ,we have eaten our dinner and washed the dishes1 and have been reading aloud4 ,we are now just ready to pick up the blankets and things1 and start again1 for we have eleven miles yet to go4 ,so1 bye-bye1 till the next stopping-place4 ,,anniston1 ,,ala41 ,sunday4 ,i am going to write part of my letter ,sunday1 you see4 ,i didn't tell you what we came here for1 did ,i8 ,well1 many of the scholars at the college go out to teach in the summer1 and sometimes the teachers who are staying there through vacation go off to see their old scholars1 and encourage them in their ,sunday-schools4 ,they do a great deal of good in this way4 ,i have visited two of these mission-schools2 and this time we came to see ,mr4 ,m41 one of the theological students who has just been ordained here at ,anniston4 ,we found him and his wife living in a neatly-painted house1 close by his little church4 ,it did me so much good to go into his home and see what it was4 ,not much like most of the colored people's houses--log-huts1 dirty1 low1 and only one room1 with so few comforts4 ,this was a house of two rooms--the front room carpeted neatly2 a nice bureau and bed in the room2 a little table with books on it 7one of which was a copy of ,shakspeare67 ,in one corner of the room was his writing desk1 with library over it--and a very good library it was2 books on ,isaiah and ,psalms2 ,gospels and ,epistles2 several1 or rather all of ,barnes' ,notes2 a book on ,moral ,philosophy1 etc4 ,i suppose that doesn't sound like much of anything to you2 but when you know how many of these people live1 and how ignorant they are1 it seems so much4 ,there were pictures on the wall1 a clock on the mantel1 shades and curtains at the windows1 etc4 ,the church has a good bell1 and is to be painted very soon4 ,we attended ,sunday-school this morning4 ,mr4 ,m4 has a little blackboard1 a review chart1 question-books1 ,gospel-hymns1 and all such things4 ,it did seem1 this morning1 when ,i was there1 that the colored people were advancing some4 ,i am really interested in them1 ,aunt ,sarah4 ,have you heard of my little ,sabbath-school8 ,may ,h41 a girl a little older than myself1 and three of the students 7girls71 and a driver1 start at half-past two o'clock every ,sunday afternoon1 in a mule-wagon4 ,the school is held in a ,mr4 ,allen's house--colored--7not the house1 but the man1 you know74 ,we have to go jolting over the roughest kind of a road to get there1 crossing the railroad track twice4 ,when we reach the place1 we crawl through the fence and enter the little house4 ,we find the children seated on benches made of rough boards4 ,may and ,i take our places in chairs at the head of the school4 ,sometimes we have over forty children4 ,we open the school by singing some of the ,gospel-hymns1 then follows the prayer2 after talking a minute or two to the scholars1 the teachers take their classes and benches out of doors1 and teach right among the bee-hives and hollyhocks6 ,the room is too small for so many scholars1 especially as there are two beds in it4 ,after a while1 the classes are called in1 and one of the scholars chooses a hymn to sing4 ,then ,i ask questions about the lesson4 ,then we count the scholars and call their names1 and give out papers4 ,then ,i ask for verses from the children1 which they have learned in the classes4 ,we then repeat the ,twenty-third ,psalm together1 and close by saying1 in concert1 the ,lord's ,prayer4 ,now1 you know a little of my ,sabbath-school4 ,i take ever so much pleasure in planning for it4 ,friday evenings we have a ,teachers' ,meeting1 just for us six teachers to talk over the school1 and study the lesson for the next ,sabbath4 ,those are dear little meetings4 ,i enjoy them so much4 ,i hope ,i am helping a little to raise up these poor neglected people4 ,i will leave the rest of my paper for my next stopping-place4

,when riding here1 we see such different sights from what we do in the ,north4 ,there are such beautiful tall pines here4 ,they grow up fifty or sixty feet before putting out any branches4 ,the sweet gum-tree1 too1 is very pretty4 ,in the distance it looks like a maple4 ,we often see wild grape-vines covering trees1 the stems as large at the bottom as my two fists4 ,the ,english ivy seems to like this climate1 too1 for when it is planted by the side of a tree1 it grows way up into the branches1 and almost covers the whole tree sometimes4 ,the passion flower grows in the fields here4 ,leila is
