any of our friends who will send us their name and address1 signifying their desire to have it4 99 99 99 99 99 ,this number of the ,,american ,,missionary contains a complete list of the names of the persons appointed for the current year to the different fields where this ,association carries on its work at home and abroad4 ,we commend the work and the workers to the great ,lord of the harvest1 and to all those who utter the prayer ,he has taught us to offer1 8,thy kingdom come4 ,thy will be done1 in earth1 as it is in heaven40 99 99 99 99 99 ,it is the belief of this ,association that conversion is the proper door into the kingdom of science1 as well as to the kingdom of ,heaven4 ,our teachers and pastors1 therefore1 seek to bring those who come under their instruction to a knowledge of the truth as it is in ,jesus1 in order that they may be qualified to know aright and properly appropriate all knowledge4 ,we are glad1 therefore1 to be able to refer our readers to letters from the field1 in this number1 as evidence that revival work is going on at different points throughout the ,south4 99 99 99 99 99 ,letters from our various stations at the ,south remind us1 as we would remind our friends1 that this winter is a hard one for the colored people1 and that our missionaries really need more money and more clothing to distribute than in ordinary winters4 ,we quote from one letter1 which must serve for all3 8,as ,i write1 the ground is covered with snow to the depth of about six inches1 the first we have seen since #ahgf4 ,by reason of the unprepared condition of the poor people here1 living in open shanties and scantily supplied with clothing and food1 this season of excessive cold is especially hard to endure40 ,contributions of money and clothing to relieve this pressing and immediate want may be sent to the care of ,h4 ,w4 ,hubbard1 ,treasurer1 #ef ,reade street1 ,new ,york ,city4 99 99 99 99 99 ,we are glad to know that the ,rev4 ,a4 ,d4 ,mayo1 one of the editors of the ,journal of ,education1 is making an extended tour of the ,south1 and will hold ,teachers' ,institutes and deliver courses of lectures in its chief educational centres4 ,we shall await with great interest the report of what he sees and learns during his visit1 and expect valuable suggestions from one who1 to his wide experience as an educator shall add an accurate knowledge of the present condition of that part of the country4 99 99 99 99 99 ,at the ,annual ,meeting in ,norwich1 the ,committee on foreign work recommended that a superintendent of ,african missions be secured at once4 ,the ,executive ,committee1 after careful inquiry1 made selection of ,rev4 ,h4 ,m4 ,ladd1 a much beloved pastor of ,walton1 ,n4 ,y41 who has written3 8,i hereby accept the position1 praying the ,great ,head of the church for ,his blessing upon the arduous work undertaken in ,his name1 looking for ,his help1 without which we can do nothing1 but with which we can do all things4 ,i shall endeavor to enter upon the work of the ,association on the #ast of ,february40 ,we sympathize with his people in their great loss and congratulate them on the valuable gift they make to the cause of the ,master4 99 99 99 99 99 ,the ,southern ,workman1 published at ,hampton1 ,va41 is1 mechanically1 a fair and most creditable specimen of the work done in the industrial department of the ,hampton school2 its editorial management proves that men good for something else are devoting their talents to negro education1 while its columns show that intelligent minds giving promise of future usefulness are being trained in the school1 and the paper1 as a whole1 gives an adequate idea of the work being done and yet to be done in such schools4 ,our friends who would at once have a very readable paper1 keep informed on all phases of the ,hampton work1 and contribute something to support a most worthy enterprise1 can do all this by sending to ,gen4 ,armstrong the price of the ,southern ,workman4 99 99 99 99 99 8,an ,old ,friend10 of ,sag ,harbor1 ,new ,york1 sends #cj for a ,christmas certificate of ,life ,membership for one of his friends1 the twenty-sixth ,life ,member of this ,association which he has made4 ,he has earned the right to say3 8,urge others to make their friends ,life ,members1 and thus add to the friends of the ,society1 and increase the number of those who will take an interest in the good work40 ,another 8,old ,friend0 who has celebrated his eighty-fifth ,thanksgiving1 sends #cj as a very suitable wedding present of a ,life ,membership to his son's wife1 having made all his own children members4 ,these are happy suggestions for happy occasions4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,value ,,of ,,dr4 ,,tanner',s ,,experiment4 ,this is not to be found in the fact that after all a man must eat or die2 this we more than suspected before the ,doctor's experiment2 neither has he settled how long a man may do without food2 but he has shown conclusively that starvation1 as a mode of living1 is not economical1 and that a life thus sustained is not worth anything4 ,it cost a great deal to keep him alive1 and the utmost he could do was to be driven out for a daily airing4 ,this lesson constitutes the sole value of his elaborate and painful experiment3 ,a man who is to do anything must be properly nourished2 plenty of good1 wholesome food is cheaper than a diet of ice-water4 ,good friends1 we need not repeat the ,doctor's experiment to prove that the policy of starvation is a mistaken policy1 and is every way expensive and hurtful4 ,the question is not how long can a life be sustained at the point of starvation1 which is also the point of utter worthlessness1 but how much can a life properly nourished be made to accomplish8 ,our parable needs no explanation4 ,three hundred and fifty thousand dollars is the least sum that should be named as at all adequate to the highest efficiency of our school and church work4 ,we can live on less1 but by so much as we fall short of this by so much are we hampered and crippled4 ,the work we have to do is a work that must be done1 and we1 the churches of the country1 have it to do4 ,it becomes1 of course1 a question of wise economy in the expenditure of means4 ,we point again to the lesson taught us and reiterate it3 ,starvation is not economy6 ,the condition of greatest efficiency is that of abundant life blood2 and for the work of the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 for #ahha1 this means at least three hundred and fifty thousand dollars4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,freemasonry4 ,in the ,,missionary for ,october1 #ahhj1 an item appeared1 copied mainly from an ,atlanta paper1 giving some statistics in regard to the colored people of that city4 ,it named the amount of their taxable property1 their industrial pursuits1 and benevolent and charitable institutions--the ,odd ,fellows and ,masonic lodges being mentioned among the number4 ,of all these institutions the article quoted said that they have encouraged the people 8to form habits of sobriety and economy1 and imbued them with feelings of charity and benevolence40 ,it has been thought by some of our friends that quoting this remark was an endorsement by us of ,masonry and ,odd ,fellowship4 ,we wish explicitly to deny the correctness of such an inference4 ,the executive officers of this ,association have no sympathy with secret oath-bound ,societies1 and the ,,missionary1 on fitting occasions1 has spoken plainly on the subject4 ,thus in #ahgc1 the present ,secretary of the ,association wrote1 and1 with the hearty concurrence of his fellow-officers1 published1 in the ,august number of that year1 the following article3 8,attention has been called anew to this subject1 by the refusal of an ecclesiastical council at the ,west to ordain a young man to the ministry1 for what was regarded as a too tenacious adhesion to the ,lodge4 ,of the merits of that case we are not well enough informed to pronounce a judgment1 but it is clear to us that the growth and power of ,masonry is no light matter4 ,the principle of secret organization is unsuitable to a ,republican government1 and contrary to the open spirit of ,christianity4 ,among the colored people the prevalence of ,masonry would be a great evil--involving a waste of time and an expenditure of money they are little able to bear1 as well as exposing them to undue political influences1 and diverting their attention from an intelligent and pure ,christianity--their only hope4 ,our teachers and ministers at the ,south already see these effects beginning to appear1 and deprecate them40 ,nothing has occurred since that time to modify1 except to intensify1 these convictions1 and the attitude and influence of our schools and churches in the ,south have been wholly and decidedly opposed to these secret societies1 as many facts1 if necessary1 would testify4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,national ,,education--,,preparation ,,for ,,it4 ,in connection with the educational bill1 which passed the ,senate last week1 a word concerning the ,american ,missionary ,association4 ,are we to have a national uprising of popular sentiment and legislative action with reference to the education of all peoples within our borders1 but especially in the ,south8 ,how signally1 in the providence of ,god1 did this ,association forecast the need1 and how wonderfully has it1 these years past1 been preparing the way4 ,if it had done no more1 it has proved to all the world1 past all cavil1 this--the cultivability of the negro1 the practicability of education for the poor blacks and also for the 8poor whites0 of the ,south4 ,its ,christian schools of all grades1 planted here and there in all the ,states1 have led the way and established beginnings of the utmost importance4 ,these schools1 by the sheer force of their own excellence1 and results so signal as to arrest universal attention1 have lived down the most desperate prejudices1 and commanded the most emphatic testimonials from all classes and from those highest in authority4 ,never has a grand ,christian enterprise shown itself more certain of good results2 never did a benevolent undertaking more remarkably manifest its self-perpetuating1 self-propagating force4 ,it has given a new complexion to the entire 8negro problem0 in this country4 ,it has successfully asserted the right of the lowliest of all citizens to share in the benefits and advantages of education4 ,the ,association1 by the largeness of its plans1 the boldness of its project1 the manifestation on the spot of its work1 by its public advocacy throughout the ,north1 has served to press constantly upon the public attention the exact nature of the great emergency in the field of popular education4 ,when were ever before the wisdom of a measureless benevolence and the audacity of a glorious faith more manifestly justified in their results8 ,but will not the new ,congressional scheme for promoting popular education in the ,states of the ,south1 render somewhat less urgent the work and the claim of the ,american ,missionary ,association8 ,by no means6 ,just the reverse is true4 ,money alone will not educate anybody4 ,if the first need be that of more money1 at least the second necessity will be that of suitable teachers4 ,precisely here1 to meet this necessity1 is seen the almost prophetic1 certainly the providential1 anticipatory work of the ,association1 getting things ready for the great stroke of truly national statesmanship now proposed4 ,to say that the ,american ,missionary ,association should have1 at once1 placed at its disposal five times its present resources to meet the new exigency1 would be to make a statement altogether temperate1 considerate and reasonable4 ,the opportunity is one that is transcendently inviting4--,rev4 ,s4 ,gilbert in ,the ,advance4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,appeal ,,of ,,the ,,exodus4 ,we have kept a close watch upon this strange inter-,state migration1 the causes of which will make a blushing page in the history of our country4 ,its sad story should be a strong appeal to all who have a heart to feel for the wrongs and sufferings of the helpless4 ,after many urgent solicitations1 and repeated investigations1 we felt1 despite all hindrances from lack of funds1 that the time had fully come for action1 when we were informed that the ,general ,association of ,kansas had appointed its ,superintendent of ,home ,missions1 the ,president of its ,college and others1 a ,committee1 to confer with us in regard to this work4 ,the ,corresponding ,secretary and the ,field ,superintendent went up from the ,national ,council to consult with this ,committee and inaugurate such a movement as might seem best4 ,at ,topeka1 which has a large colored population1 were found the ,general ,committee of ,relief1 and a committee of ,refugees1 whose duty it is to take charge of arrivals1 departures1 etc41 and watch the subsequent course of these people4 ,it was decided to purchase lots in ,tennessee ,town1 a suburb of this city1 and erect a house at a cost of #a1jjj1 under the superintendence of our old1 tried worker1 ,rev4 ,r4 ,f4 ,markham1 and we are glad to announce that1 despite the cold weather1 it is nearly ready for occupancy4 ,this is to be the home of our night school for adults under charge of ,mr4 and ,mrs4 ,white1 of ,oberlin4 ,the pupils of this school are excluded from the public schools because of their age1 and because they are necessarily occupied through the day4 ,in it also will be sheltered the vigorous mission ,sunday-school which ,pastor ,blakesley's church has sustained1 and which will be under charge of ,mr4 ,a4 ,j4 ,de ,hart1 a young colored man from ,washburn ,college1 recently ordained by a council at ,cleveland1 ,ohio4 ,we have also located one of our ,southern colored preachers--a young man--in the ,second ,congregational ,church of ,lawrence1 where there is also a large colored population4 ,other points on this frontier of colored population will be kept in view4 ,of the #b1ejj which this work will cost for the year the citizens of ,topeka have raised #gjj1 and we have on hand a ,kansas fund of #dej4 ,this leaves still #a1cej to be raised as a special sum1 as this work is not provided for in the regular appropriations for the year4 ,the ,executive ,committee1 urged as it has been1 both by our friends and by the pressing need of this much abused and suffering people1 has ventured on this expenditure1 confident that it is a duty which must not be neglected1 also that our friends will meet the exigency by sending in promptly the amount needed4 8,these children of the dispersion10 peeled and torn1 stretch out their hands to us again6 ,shall we not hear in their cry the pleadings of the ,saviour for these1 the weakest of his suffering children1 and account this extra gift as but a small portion of the double recompense due them for their redoubled wrongs8 99 99 99 99

our ,talladega men1 ,j4 ,w4 ,roberts as pastor in that city1 and ,j4 ,w4 ,strong to take the pastorate in ,corpus ,christi4 ,spending five days there1 ,i preached for our church in ,paris1 also for the white ,congregational church which ,i had organized six years ago1 planned for a new church site and building1 and visited and preached for our country church at ,pattonville1 twelve miles out1 arranging for the supply of this and two other little churches by local preachers4 ,at ,little ,rock1 ,ark41 ,i explored and found the fit material for a ,congregational church to be organized as soon as we can have the money4 ,in time we must have for ,arkansas one of our first-class institutions at this beautiful capital1 which has seven or eight thousand colored people1 and which is the centre of a large population of ,freedmen4 ,in three days1 at ,tougaloo1 ,i inspected the ,institution2 counselled with the managers as to building schemes2 lectured on 8,how to make money1--by labor1

,the tour1 which was one of #b1hjd miles1 occupied a month4 ,the cost of travel was #hh4ae1 unusually large1 even for so long a trip1 as ,i had to use the two great roads leading to ,texas1 which decline the usual ministerial courtesies4 ,with five nights of riding1 and only two of those in sleeping cars1 with a steady push in travel and in work1 it was a wearying tour4 ,the postage of the month1 #d4ee1 shows the amount of correspondence kept up along the way with the 8field40 ,in contrast with the two railroads referred to1 ,i wish to report that ,i have in hand the annual half-fare permits of twenty-eight railroad companies in the ,south1 nearly all that ,i have occasion to use1 besides an annual free pass1 held now for two years1 on ,senator ,joseph ,e4 ,brown's road from ,atlanta to ,chattanooga1 which ,i use a great deal4 ,having received marked and unvarying courtesy from the officials of all of these companies 7and1 indeed1 from everybody ,south as yet1 without

nothing about it4--,exchange4 --,on the #fth of ,november1 the ,indian school at ,carlisle1 ,pa41 welcomed fifteen new students3 four boys and three girls from the ,menomonees at ,green ,bay ,agency1 and four boys and four girls from the ,sisseton ,sioux ,agency2 an exceptionally bright and promising delegation4 ,an ,apache boy1 captured by the #dth ,cavalry in ,arizona1 six years ago1 has also been admitted to the school1 thus making the total number #bab4 --,recently1 at the ,cheyenne ,agency1 ,walter ,matches1 one of the ,florida boys1 was married to ,emma1 formerly a scholar at the boarding-school4 ,the teachers of the school1 where the wedding took place1 prepared an entertainment to which all the ,florida boys were invited1 and the occasion is described as having been a very pleasant one4 ,the newly married couple are to live at the school1 where they are both employed1 and we wish for them a life of great happiness to themselves and usefulness to their people4 --,on the #fth day of ,october1 the ,carlisle ,indian ,training ,school completed the first year of its history4 ,at a little impromptu gathering of the school and its teachers and helpers1 on the evening of that day1 the children were asked to vote for1 or against1 continuing the school work4 ,every hand went up in favor of continuing it1 and some of the boys even stood up and held up both hands4 ,speeches were in order4 ,everybody was happy and many reminiscences were brought out with much incentive to continued effort4 --,that a great wrong has been done the ,poncas1 all parties agree4 ,who is responsible for this wrong is not at present so important as the question whether as ,bright ,eyes asserts1 and the ,boston ,committee believe1 a still greater wrong is attempted in the effort now making to have them relinquish their title to their own homes in ,dakota on the false pretence that it is their own desire to do so4 ,that the ,hon4 ,carl ,schurz1 so far from being a friend of the ,indian1 is the most unscrupulous enemy he has ever had1 we shall believe only when the proof is overwhelming4 ,the delegation which has gone out to investigate1 goes with some very decided convictions on this subject1 but its report1 whether favorable or adverse1 will doubtless be accepted as just to all concerned4 99 99 99 99 99 ,the ,chinese4 --,our ,chinese brethren on the ,pacific

this city has blossomed into the ,lincoln ,memorial ,church1 which was organized by council on the #ajth of ,january with ,rev4 ,s4 ,p4 ,smith installed at the same time as pastor4 ,the sermon was preached by ,dr4 ,roy1 ,field ,superintendent1 and the other parts were by ,dr4 ,patton1 ,dr4 ,chickering1 ,dr4 ,rankin1 ,rev4 ,mr4 ,grimke1 of the ,colored ,presbyterian ,church1 ,rev4 ,t4 ,j4 ,holmes1 of ,baltimore1 and ,prof4 ,fairfield4 ,music by the organist of ,dr4 ,rankin's church and his superb choir4 ,mrs4 ,babcock1 of ,newburyport1 ,mass41 has commenced missionary labor with this church with every prospect of wide usefulness4 ,she is supported by the ,w4 ,h4 ,m4 ,a41 of ,boston1 under commission of the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 ,this mission1 in its ,sunday-school work1 runs back to the day of the ,nation's martyr1 whose name it bears4 ,it has done a vast deal of good1 which has been garnered up in other churches round about1 and now it turns to care for its own4 ,it has been sustained1 as it is now1 mainly by ,dr4 ,rankin's people4 ,the colored population of the district is #fj1jjj1 with only #c1jjj outside of the city4 ,the ,national ,capital carries its share of the 8wards40 ,,augusta1 ,,ga4--,some of the colored people drew off from one of the large churches to form a new one1 and have been taking monthly collections to build a church edifice4 ,a little girl six years old said she must have a nickel1 for next ,sunday was 8throwing in0 ,sunday1 and she wanted to see that church built4 ,her mother said she shouldn't give her one1 for she spent the last for candy and she ought to have saved that4 ,so she went off with a basket on her arm1 picked up bones and sold them for the five cents4 ,then a friend gave her another and she remarked3 8,i believe ,i'll put this in1 too1 for that church must be built40 ,,macon1 ,,ga4--,there seems to be a growing spirit of harmony among the members4 ,the ,sunday-school has had an average attendance of #aaf1 and is in a good state of efficiency and progress4 ,it had a very successful ,christmas concert and 8fruit tree10 and its other occasional concerts have been interesting4 ,mr4 and ,mrs4 ,lathrop have done as much missionary work as they could1 and have distributed quantities of clothing1 etc41 to the poor1 among whom there has been much real suffering from the severe weather4 ,,atlanta1 ,,ga4--,it is refreshing to one's soul to get into a live prayer-meeting like ours last night4 ,one good brother said1 8,this thing what you call ,christianity is no small thing4 ,it starts small1 but it grows and grows and grows till it reaches out of this world into the land we call ,heaven40 ,another faithful brother always prays much1 and especially for our school1 and in his remarks last evening gave as his opinion--8,if 'twan't for what's ben done on this yere block this city would be ten times worser'n it is in ignorance 'n superstition4 ,i hain't no chillun o' my own and ,i dunno much about dealin's with chillun1 but ,i know dealin's with chillun ain't no funny thing40 ,this evidently showed his appreciation of our labor1 and our hearts echoed his sentiments1 while we smiled at his quaintness and originality4 ,,selma1 ,,ala4--,the school is larger at this time than it has ever been during the same months since my connection with it4 ,the enrolment for the present month is #cci4 ,we have this year quite a number of young men in attendance1 from our own and adjoining counties4 ,a course of lectures1 intended mainly for the parents of the scholars1 has been determined upon1 and two lectures have been delivered by the pastors of the ,methodist and ,baptist churches respectively4 ,others are purposed for each month of the school year4 ,on ,friday evening1 #cast inst41 there was a re-union of the ,church4 ,the first hour was spent in preparatory exercises1 for the coming ,communion service1 after which greetings by letter were read by the pastor and others1 from those who had been connected with the church as pastors1 and absent sisters and brothers1 all showing a deep interest in the welfare and growth of the church4 ,then followed remarks from those present1 who had come from other ,states and from ,talladega ,college1 giving us a description of their work in the day and ,sunday-schools1 showing how much they appreciate the advantages they have received and enjoyed1 and are anxious to help raise others to the same standard in spiritual and intellectual advancement4 ,,montgomery1 ,,ala4--,this is a week of prayer and we are observing it4 ,while the weather has thus far been very unfavorable1 afternoon meetings have been excellent2 though not large as to number1 the spirit of them has been very encouraging4 ,we are laboring and praying for a 8quickening40 ,i think quite a number are seriously thoughtful4 ,we expected to receive two last ,sabbath on profession1 but the terrible cold and snows of the week prevented us from having our church preparatory service on ,wednesday evening4 ,there has been a very decided advance in intelligent appreciation of the ,gospel and in spirituality1 within the past year1 although no real increase in numbers4 ,,memphis1 ,,tenn4--,the religious interest in the school has brought great blessing and refreshing4 ,on ,thursday and ,friday ten students were led to give clear1 whole-hearted testimony to an entire change of heart and life4 ,the school is moved through and through4 ,scarcely a pupil of any age but is anxiously inquiring1 as are many of their friends outside4 ,some wonderful scenes and experiences are given us and the entire work goes on most quietly1 and1 we trust1 thoroughly4 ,we pray for the whole school4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,new ,,appointments4 #ahhj-ahha4 ,the following list

awake1 although our work has not been represented recently in the ,,missionary4 ,the weather and sickness prospectus at the beginning of the year promised to be very disastrous to our missionary labors here4 ,since our return it has rained almost consecutively for three months4 ,notwithstanding the unusual cold and rain1 our school record shows a larger attendance at the ,beach ,institute than last year4 ,it is astonishing to us teachers who come from the ,north1 where the children are sent to school clad in rubber clothing in inclement weather1 to see these boys and girls1 so ill fitted to brave the rain and cold1 prompt and punctual in their attendance at the daily sessions4 ,in my department #gj boys and girls meet daily for secular and religious instruction4 ,several of these children live at a distance of from three to six miles1 remaining without luncheon1 perhaps after an indifferent breakfast1 the entire session4 ,every day ,i see new proofs of appreciation in the parents and children3 they are beginning to realize the strenuous efforts of missionary labor for their future prosperity and eternal salvation4 ,what more encouragement can we desire--looking into their eager faces all aglow1 and seeing the quiet submission at the lack of even the necessary daily comforts that they may feed this great hungry desire for knowledge8 ,we have a weekly ,bible meeting held every ,monday afternoon immediately after school1 in the ,principal's room1 conducted by ,miss ,douglass4 ,the children are interested and the attendance is large4 ,with the ,bible in one hand and the text-book in the other1 we hope grand results for the next generation of the colored race4 ,also we have a woman's weekly prayer-meeting held at various houses4 ,would ,i could take my readers with me to these little gatherings of sincere1 earnest women1 praying for the salvation of their fellow-people2 singing 8hallelujah0 for that freedom from sin worse than the bondage of slavery4 ,the church work is progressing under our minister4 ,these people very quickly discover when the ,gospel is preached in an able and sincere manner1 and are attentive listeners1 worshiping the ,lord in a subdued and quiet way2 a strong contrast to their former modes and habits4 ,we are preparing a list of the names and residences of the ,beach pupils for ,miss ,douglass1 who intends visiting the parents in a friendly and religious call4 ,the extreme cold and distress1 to a people unprepared for it1 call upon us for extra exertions4 ,miss ,douglass distributes donations

more aid from the younger ones may be expected4 ,we have formed a society called 8,the ,mission ,workers10 the object of which is to awaken a greater interest in home and foreign missions4 ,the proceeds of a sale which we are to have at ,christmas will be devoted to this purpose4 ,since beginning work in the fall ,i have called on one hundred and thirty-three families4 ,when convenient1 as

weekly in my room1 in which white and colored lead by turns4 ,they are precious seasons to us all1 and we feel that a blessing is for us4 ,several of our members1 whose husbands are unconverted1 meet

you4 ,god has graciously and marvelously answered our prayer4 ,the month of ,november was a blessed month in ,central ,church4 ,the week of prayer in ,january has in other years been the beginning of real1 earnest revival effort4 ,the revival seasons of blessed memory have dated from this holy week4 ,but the coming of two ,english ,evangelists1 ,james ,wharton and ,richard ,irving1 during the last days of ,october1 called for immediate action1 and we decided at once to open revival meetings1 and to engage in a united and earnest effort for the salvation of sinners4 ,while these dear brethren were resting from their voyage1 the church came together and re-consecrated themselves to ,god4 ,there was a quick and deep apprehension of the necessity of personal holiness and of self-denying service for ,christ4 ,indeed the entire month of ,october had been a month of prayerful preparation for the movement4 ,printed notices were widely distributed1 and ,christians went from house to house and invited people to come and seek the salvation of their souls4 ,from the opening night the meetings were marked by deep seriousness and the evident presence of the ,divine ,spirit4 ,the method of the ,evangelists was simple and honest4 ,no artificial means for exciting emotion were used4 ,the ,gospel was preached in its simplicity1 its purity1 and its power4 ,the sermons were heart-searching1 faithful and tender4 ,the law in its exactions and the ,gospel in its provisions and promises1 were presented night after night4 ,brother ,irving stayed with us ten days1 and ,brother ,wharton three weeks4 ,after the sermon the ,pastor took charge of the meetings1 and called the inquirers to the 8mourners' seats40 ,special appeals and prayers were offered4 ,inquirers were directed one by one how to find the ,saviour1 and to obtain peace in believing4 ,at some meetings ,christians were permitted and encouraged to speak of the love and preciousness of ,jesus2 and such a volume of testimony6 ,we could truly say1 8,lord1 it is good for us to be here40 ,as ,i recall the sheaves that were gathered in this glorious harvest ,i find much to thank ,god for4 ,in two instances both the husband and wife--all young people--were converted1 and standing side by side took the vows of the church upon them4 ,women who had struggled with manifold temptations1 and around whom the wildest storms of sorrow had gathered1 found in ,christ a refuge from the storm and the tempest4 ,young men with the hopes and possibilities of ,christian manhood before them1 humbly1 heartily1 and ,i believe1 forever1 took their position as the disciples of the ,son of ,god4 ,when ,brother ,wharton was compelled to leave us to meet an engagement in another church1 the ,pastor continued the meetings for another week1 assisted by ,rev4 ,a4 ,n4 ,wyckoff1 of the ,canal ,st4 ,presb4 ,church1 ,rev4 ,dr4 ,john ,matthews1 of the ,m4 ,e4 ,church1 and two able colored preachers4 ,the fire burned brightly to the last4 ,the first ,sabbath in ,december1 thirty-one were received to the ,central ,church on profession of their faith in ,christ4 ,we hope forty-eight were converted in this revival4 ,some joined other churches and more will yet unite themselves with us4 ,the meetings were thronged as never before4 ,crowds of young men attended constantly4 ,some of them were won for ,god--others were impressed--and with very many1 let us hope and pray1 the truth they heard and the scenes they witnessed will prove to be 8bread cast upon the waters10 to be gathered in some future day to the glory of ,god4 ,i think ,i see a quickened and deepened consciousness of right as they read it in the light of ,his word1 upon the part of professing ,christians a painful and unyielding anxiety with those who have not submitted their hearts to ,god1 and with many1 a sincere longing to come into the fellowship of the ,gospel4 ,if this judgment be true1 then how great things has the dear ,lord done for us6 ,the ,church now numbers #baj members4 ,my impartial judgment is that they represent a good deal of vitality1 and are beginning to realize the infinite willingness of ,god to bless them1 and to enlarge their borders4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,tennessee4 ,methods of ,revival ,work at ,fisk ,university4 ,,rev4 ,a4 ,k4 ,,spence1 ,,nashville4 ,you request me to give an idea of our 8methods1 success1 and experiences0 in revival work in ,fisk ,university4 ,it is with much hesitation that ,i attempt to comply with your wish1 for it is difficult1 in a brief communication1 to convey a correct idea in such matters1 and1 also1 one shrinks from bringing into the foreground human agencies in a work which1 if genuine1 must be ,divine4 ,to understand revival work here1 one must know the ordinary religious work done in the ,university4 ,varying from time to time1 the following are the means of grace enjoyed by us4 ,we have a church which is1 practically1 a part of the school4 ,there are three services on the ,sabbath--a preaching service1 a ,sunday-school1 and a prayer meeting4 ,during the week there are school devotions in the morning and family devotions in the evening1 and also one meeting for prayer4 ,upon all these attendance is required4 ,many other meetings are held voluntarily by the students1 conducted frequently by an instructor4 ,there is a ,christian ,association of the young men and one of the young women1 meeting once a week1 or oftener4 ,the ,society for the ,evangelization of ,africa holds a meeting once a month1 and every ,sunday morning since the departure of our missionaries to ,africa1 a meeting has been held to pray for them and their cause4 ,besides these stated meetings1 there is a large amount of personal religious work done in a private way1 to lead the unconverted to ,christ4 ,opportunities are sought for conversation and prayer with individuals alone4 ,as employees of the ,american ,missionary ,association1 we feel ourselves bound to labor1 as we can1 for the salvation of our students4 ,we try to keep it before us continually that we should aim at nothing less than their conversion4 ,and we seek to impress it upon all1 that the ,institution is entirely the ,lord's1 built with ,his money1 kept by ,his care1 and dedicated to ,his service4 ,we are sustained by the charities of ,god's people1 given for the sake of ,his cause4 ,we remember the way in which our wants have been met1 in the use of the ,jubilee ,singers and by other means4 ,the place whereon we stand is holy ground4 ,in 8times of refreshing0 the ordinary means of grace have been quickened into greater life1 and other means have been used as the ,spirit of ,god seemed to direct4 ,the morning and evening devotions have at times been turned into revival meetings1 and extra meetings for prayer and labor with inquirers have been instituted4 ,in a few cases the work of the school has been suspended and the day given to religious meetings2 but usually the ordinary work has gone on4 ,persons under too deep conviction to attend to aught else1 have been allowed and advised to wait upon ,god1 and suitable persons have been permitted to wait with them4 ,occasionally scenes have transpired not to be forgotten nor to be described--the tears1 the sighs1 the groans1 the bowed or prostrate form--and the after unspeakable joy6 ,as time has gone on1 whether for better or worse1 the emotional has diminished4 ,we have never sought to produce excitement1 nor have we sought rudely to crush it out when it came spontaneously1 but to quiet it off by indirect means1 a thing always soon successful4 ,doubtless clearer views of truth are doing away with that frenzy of religious excitement which has so largely prevailed1 unbalancing the reason and prostrating the body4 ,we find it necessary to follow a revival with oft-repeated instructions as to the doctrines and duties of ,christianity4 ,the young converts need much loving and wise watchcare4 ,they are exposed to many dangers1 and have nearly everything to learn1 except that they are the ,lord's and he is theirs4 ,some years in the history of ,fisk ,university have been years of great barrenness in spiritual things1 but none of entire unfruitfulness4 ,yet long and sorely have we been made to cry unto ,god1 and humble ourselves before ,him4 ,other years are precious in our memories because of ,god's peculiar presence there4 ,three are especially so1 #ahgj1 #ahgc1 and #ahgf2 but space will not permit us to enter upon them4 ,books might be written about them1 but they are recorded in ,god's book of remembrance2 there let them remain4 ,oh1 for a mighty and continual baptism of the ,holy ,ghost on all our schools in the ,south6 99 99 99 99 99 ,sanitary ,reform--,business--,industrial

this1 except in muddy and broken streets and shabby street cars drawn by more shabby mules4 ,for these1 8men may come and men may go1 but they go on forever40 ,the business season opened in ,october1 hopefully and more brisk than ever before1 notwithstanding that our population has within the three years dropped from fifty to thirty-five thousand4 ,merchants are reaping a rich harvest1 and all kinds of labor find employment and fair pay1 interrupted somewhat for the past month by severe cold and continued rains1 which have also seriously damaged the ungathered cotton crop4 ,what would you say to ninety inches rainfall in eleven months8 ,this is the amount reported by the signal service observer at ,vicksburg for this year up to ,december #a4 ,no one now thinks of ,memphis as a failure2 what with a unique and almost perfect system of sewerage nearly completed1 and what with a growing wholesale trade and many permanent improvements1 both public and private1 a new ,memphis1 indeed1 must soon replace the old4 ,school opened in ,october with a full attendance and every promise of a most successful year4 ,our rooms for industrial instruction are now finished and ready for use4 ,the classes in needlework1 etc41 are organized1 and in ,january a class or classes in cooking will receive regular instruction1 with practice in the experimental kitchen4 ,instruction will also be given to a class in the care of the sick4 ,it is a fact that the great majority of our pupils must continue in very humble positions and circumstances2 our aim must be to fit them to fill well the lots that must fall to them in life2 and whatever positions they may fill1 they must know how to build up1 and even adorn1 homes that shall be very different from those their parents have known4 ,the proverb runs1 8,a man far from home is near to danger40 ,the most direct way1 certainly1 of bringing better things to these people1 and to the ,south1 is through the home4 ,our lecture course for this year is about made up4 ,dr4 ,magoun1 while here in attendance upon the conference and to visit his daughter1 our music teacher1 gave the first lecture in this year's course4 ,among others to speak are ,rev4 ,dr4 ,max ,samfield1 ,jewish ,rabbi2 ,rev4 ,mr4 ,mayo1 of ,boston2 ,judge ,pierce of the ,circuit ,court1 two physicians and other prominent professional and business men here4 ,our idea is to have all the lectures1 as far as possible1 deal with practical matters1 in some degree according with our regular industrial work4 ,in the past four weeks we have been greatly blessed by the ,spirit's presence with us1 over thirty of our pupils having found the 8better way10 we trust4 ,with the exception of one or two sitting-room meetings1 we have only held a half-hour prayer meeting each day directly after school4 ,some of the conversions have come with wonderful power and presence of the ,spirit1 but all with quietness and assurance4 ,we hope for still more1 and we are glad to have before us so much of the year with its opportunities for training these 8lambs0 in the ,christian life4 ,most of them go with their parents and friends to the old churches1 where1 too often1 the weekly or occasional emotional outburst or religious frenzy takes the place of real ,christian growth and experience4 ,a number will join our church1 two or three even breaking away from friends and parents to find a more intelligent1 helpful church connection4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,indians4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,letters ,,from ,,indian ,,boys4 ,miss ,eustis sends us the following letters from two of

the north star1 and even giving the poor fellow a sly lift that way if they had an opportunity4 ,a warm heart is too strong for a wrong head under such circumstances4 ,and so our anti-,chinese friends at ,marysville gave us their presence at our ,anniversary1 curious to see what could be done1 and before we were through bade us ,god-speed and helped us with a generous contribution4 ,on the day following1 a well-officered local auxiliary1 like those at ,sacramento1 ,stockton1 ,petaluma and ,los ,angeles1 was organized4 ,the school is now established in permanent quarters1 furnished with all that is indispensable to a comfortable mission house1 and sets forth on its second year with promise of good work and glad harvests4 ,new ,schools4--,in this month of ,december1 in which ,i am writing1 we have thirteen schools in operation1 a larger number than ever before4 ,the ,oroville school resumed its sessions ,december #ast under the care of ,miss ,helen ,ostrom1 whose father1 once a missionary at ,amoy1 ,china1 has taken pastoral charge of the ,congregational ,church in that place4 ,it starts well1 and engages the interest not only of the ,chinese1 but also of the better element among the ,christian people of that town1 to a greater degree1 ,i believe1 than ever before4 ,of the two new schools1 one is in ,oakland1 occupying an apartment kindly granted for the purpose by the ,pacific ,theological ,seminary1 situated about #a miles from the school already sustained in rooms supplied by the ,first ,congregational ,church4 ,it is near the ,plymouth ,avenue ,church1 and will1 we trust1 be taken under its wing4 ,miss ,maria ,w4 ,bye is its faithful and devoted teacher4 ,the other new school is at ,point ,pedro1 the ,chinese fishing village of which some account was given in the ,december ,,missionary4 ,on visiting the place ,i found it to consist of six or seven distinct villages situated on the shore of little coves1 and separated from each other by points of greater or less altitude jutting out boldly into the ,bay4 ,the population1 estimated at about #fjj1 is thus divided into little groups of1 say1 #ajj people each2 the distance from the nearest to the most remote being not less than two miles4 ,it calls for two schools1 and affording1 as it does1 a field for missionary service among women and children as well as men1 it needs at least one teacher able to give not only evenings1 but the daytime also to the work4 ,we are at present feeling our way under conditions quite different from those in any of our older schools1 praying that the wisdom from above may save us from the mistakes into which our own unaided counsel would plunge us certainly2 and that1 as we learn how to reach these dark and scattered multitudes1 we may have means adequate to the task4 8,as thy days so shall thy strength be40 ,the ,money ,question4--,many who count themselves specially prudent find no room for the exercise of faith in matters of cash4 ,but ,i have not so read either the word or the providence of ,god4 ,we are walking by faith in laying out our missionary work for this new year4 ,in place of the #a1faj4gj received last year over and above the regular appropriation from the treasury in ,new ,york1 we rely upon raising #e1jjj this year4 ,we cannot do the work waiting to be done1 we cannot answer the ,master's call with any less sum than that4 ,every cent of it can be used without extravagance4 ,indeed we can practice a more effective economy on an income of #aj1jjj per annum than on one of #g1fjj4 ,a certain amount is necessary even to start4 ,there are some heavy expenses from which there is no escape however we may cut down the work1 unless1 indeed1 we cut its life out altogether4 ,these would not be materially increased even though the service rendered were increased three-fold4 ,we look1 therefore1 first to the ,master himself1 and then to his people1 whom he constitutes his almoners1 to make up this #e1jjj4 ,humbly trusting to his faithfulness1 we expect it to come1 and we venture forward on that expectation4 ,already1 from a helper in the 8far ,east0 comes an unsolicited gift of #ajj1 and a pledge of another #ajj if1 thereby1 this #e1jjj can be secured4 ,already ,i seem to see in the near future full twenty-five or even many more of such #ajj shares taken4 ,where shall ,i find the remainder8 ,are there no readers of the ,,missionary who can aid me to answer this question8 8,inasmuch as ye have done it even to one of the least of these my brethren1 ye have done it unto me40 99 99 99 99 99 ,,children',s ,,page4 99 99

seem perfectly capable of doing4 ,they were good-hearted1 industrious boys1 but rather thoughtless at times1 and the parents of both often felt troubled that they seemed to care so little for 8book learning40 ,sure enough1 when the ,town ,hall was filling with a half interested1 half curious audience to hear ,sam ,andrew's story1 among the rest1 on the back seats1 sat ,bill and ,andy4 ,pretty soon ,sam began2 he told how1 through struggles and hardships1 want and poverty1 he had persisted in gaining an entrance into the seminary4 ,all at once1 ,bill swallowed hard1 then whispered to his companion1 8,i say1 ,andy1 let's give ,sam twenty cents instead of ten60 8,yes1 let's10 readily agreed ,andy4 ,sam went on2 he told how fever broke out among some of the seminary boys1 and he and a few others spent the last cent they could raise in getting medicines1 and alas6 a coffin in more than one case4 ,this time ,bill gulped down a great sob1 and whispered brokenly1 8,andy1 old boy1 let's make it thirty cents2 a heart of stone couldn't stan' that60 8,yes1 so we will10 gasped ,andy1 with shining eyes4 ,sam continued3 he told of selling the coat off his back1 sooner than give up his precious opportunities for studying and improving his mind4 ,here ,bill gave ,andy a nudge1 and whispered desperately1 8,i'm goin' the whole forty1 ,andy2 what's a selfish old lark of nuts and candy1 ,i'd like to know1 for a well fed cove like me8 ,i'll help ,sam the whole figger1--cookies if ,i won't60 8,feel as if ,i'd been a pig all my life10 whimpered ,andy1 as ,sam went on with his piteous story of painful perseverance and hard endurance4 ,all at once ,bill began edging off the settee1 but he stopped to whisper again1 8,say1 ,andy1 ,i'm going home as tight as ever ,i can leg it after that other ten cents2 be back in a minute20 and before ,andy could reply he was off3 in a few moments he was back again1 but where was ,andy8 ,a moment later ,andy entered softly1 and taking his seat by ,bill1 opened his hand1 in which was his last ten cent piece4 ,but it might have done one real good to have seen the peculiar shine in the eyes of the generous boys1 as their willing offerings rattled down into the well-filled box which was passed around for the collection at the close of the meeting4 ,and after all1 that was not the best of it1 for on the way home1 instead of the 8selfish lark0 so cheerfully given up1 the boys had a good sensible talk1 in which they agreed that it was shameful1 the way in which they had neglected their studies1 and here was a poor colored boy1 who had suffered 8all a feller could suffer and pull through10--as ,andy remarked with boy-like earnestness1--for the knowledge they1 in their favored freedom from care and privation1 had hardly thought worth possessing1 much less toiling for4 ,bill and ,andy's parents silently wondered what had come over their boys1 that all at once they grew so thoughtful and studious2 but the boys knew what had come over them1 and they also knew why it was that whenever they earned any money1 a part was saved out from the rest for charitable purposes4 8,makes a feller feel quite like a man to help some one else along a little besides himself1 doesn't it ,bill1 old boy80 ,andy asked one day4 ,and ,bill replied1 8,guess it does6 ,we can't do much1 but even our little is worth givin'1 'specially when a cove saves it himself3 guess our ,sunday-school teacher was right2 let's see1 what was that verse she said8--#8,it is more blesseder to--to give away a part1 than to receive all inter yourself1'--,i
