with our ,annual ,meeting4 ,this has been published1 and will be sent to those of our friends who express the wish to have it4 99 99 99 99 99 8,communion ,sunday at ,hampton10 by ,miss ,eustis1 and ,mrs4 ,chase's 8,sequel to a ,begging ,letter10 we are confident will each be read with very tender1 almost tearful gratitude1 and will thrill the reader with most sweet hopes of the triumphant success of our prayers and labors for the despised and wronged1 but soon to be redeemed1 races4 ,the grace that is redeeming them is also sweetly touching the hearts of many with reference to them4 99 99 99 99 99 ,in this number of the ,,missionary1 the ,w4 ,h4 ,m4 ,association announces the purpose of bringing and keeping before the ,christian women of our land their relation to the great work in which this ,association is engaged4 ,when the claims of the colored women of the ,south and of the ,indian women of the ,west have been heard and recognized by their sisters of ,new ,england1 we are confident that the work of elevating and saving them will receive a new and wonderful impulse4 ,we call attention to the announcement and suggestions made4 99 99 99 99 99 ,the acceptance by ,rev4 ,henry ,m4 ,ladd1 of ,walton1 ,n4 ,y41 of the position of ,superintendent of the ,african missions of the ,a4 ,m4 ,a41 and his readiness to enter upon the work by the #ast of ,february1 was announced in the last number of the ,,missionary4 ,mr4 ,ladd sailed for the ,mendi mission on the #abth of ,february1 and was followed on the #afth by ,rev4 ,k4 ,m4 ,kemp1 a native of ,north ,carolina1 and a graduate of ,lincoln ,university1 who1 with his wife1 are to re-enforce that mission4 ,after a visit to our missions on the western coast1 ,mr4 ,ladd expects to enter upon an exploration of the ,upper ,nile basin for the purpose of locating the ,arthington mission4 ,we have at once an interesting fact and practical suggestions in the action of the ,ladies' ,missionary ,society of ,elgin1 ,ill4 ,this society is a branch of the ,woman's ,board for the ,interior1 and is equipped with two treasurers--one to receive contributions for the foreign1 and the other for home work4 ,at the meeting referred to1 papers were read on the work at ,hampton1 on the work at ,fisk1 and on the school and church work of the ,a4 ,m4 ,a41 which gave great interest to the meeting1 and awakened enthusiasm for this branch of home mission work4 99 99 99 99 99 ,w4 ,e4 ,blackstone1 of ,oak ,park1 ,cook ,county1 ,ill41 has published a general directory of missionary societies of this and other lands1 which will be a great convenience to those who wish to communicate with such1 and a source of valuable information to those who would get a comprehensive view of the work the church of ,christ is doing for the evangelization of the world4 ,this pamphlet is neatly and compactly gotten up1 and is well worth the #be cents asked for it4 99 99 99 99 99 ,one who is spending his first year at the ,south writes as follows3 8,when ,i listen in the prayer-meetings to remarks and prayers1 especially the latter1 ,i cannot help wishing that the churches of the ,north could be present to be #8edified1' for they surely would be4 ,i know those who have given largely to the ,a4 ,m4 ,a41 both as men count largeness and as the ,lord counts it 7and ,his way is not always man's way71 and they would have more than felt satisfied with their investment just to have been present for one hour in some of the meetings at which it has been my privilege to be in the last two months4 ,i am satisfied that we are building wiser than we know when we are seeking to introduce a #8colored element' into the ,congregationalism of the ,republic2 but how much wiser1 ,i do not profess to be able to measure even in imagination40 99 99 99 99 99 ,the tone of ,southern sentiment is changing toward the negro1 in all parts of the ,south4 ,in his recent message1 ,gov4 ,jarvis1 of ,north ,carolina1 took occasion to speak in warm terms of the pleasant relations existing between the races1 and adds3 8,i am glad to say negroes are becoming more industrious and thrifty40 ,he refers1 with satisfaction1 to their industrial fairs held at ,raleigh1 and to the encouragement shown them by the whites1 and urges it as an imperative duty that full and equal justice shall be done the blacks1 and that they shall not be left to work out their destiny unaided4 ,he favors greater provision for public schools1 and recommends that the school tax shall be #b4e mills on the dollar4 99 99 99 99 99 ,that was quite a love feast held in the ,opera ,house1 ,lynchburg1 ,va41 a few weeks since1 when local politicians1 ,united ,states officials and ,northern business men of the city united1 regardless of party prejudices1 in tendering a supper to capitalists from ,pittsburgh1 and all joined in applauding the name of ,blaine1 from whom a telegram was received during the evening1 8until the rafters rang again40 99 99 99 99 99 ,whatever opinion we may form as to the justice of the charges made by ,senator ,dawes or the sufficiency of ,secretary ,schurz's reply1 we can and do rejoice that they seem to vie with each other in demanding justice for the ,poncas1 and we would commend not alone to the ,massachusetts ,senator1 but to all the members of ,congress1 the appeal of the ,secretary of the ,interior1 and express the conviction that the ,american people will not hold them guiltless of a large share of the guilt incurred in that matter1 if they fail1 before adjournment1 to carry out the recommendations of the ,president4 ,mr4 ,schurz concludes his letter to ,senator ,dawes as follows3 8,permit me now to make an appeal for the ,poncas to you1 ,senator4 ,let these ,indians at last have rest4 ,recognize their rights by giving them the indemnity they justly asked for and which ,i asked for them years ago4 ,let them quietly go about their farms and improve their homes and send their children to school1 undisturbed by further agitation4 ,that is the best service you can render them4 ,they would probably be in a better condition already had that agitation never reached them40 99 99 99 99 99 ,,senator ,,brown ,,on ,,the ,,educational ,,question4 ,hon4 ,joseph ,e4 ,brown1 of ,georgia1 who has recently been elected ,u4 ,s4 ,senator1 has for a long time manifested an interest in our work4 ,a short time since he gave #ej1jjj to an institution under the auspices of the ,baptists1 for the education of the whites4 ,on the night before his election1 in an address to the ,legislature1 he expressed his appreciation of the importance of education in the following words3 8,i have the educational question very much at heart4 ,disguise it as you may1 the ,new ,england ,states1 with their schools and universities1 have dictated laws to this continent4 ,they have sent ,new ,england ideas all over the ,west1 and they dominate there4 ,look at ,prussia1 that little ,empire over which ,napoleon rushed and almost obliterated4 ,hardly a generation passed before it had in turn humbled ,france and taken the power from its ,empire4 ,the bright-eyed boys in your mountains and wire-grass may represent you nobly before the world if you educate them4 ,we must also educate the colored race1 and they ought to be educated for the benefit of the ,union1 and by the friends of the ,union4 ,i would devote the proceeds of the public lands to this purpose on a basis of illiteracy4 ,the colored people are citizens1 and we must do them justice4 ,let us give them every legal right4 ,social rights will take care of themselves40 99 99 99 99 99 ,,overture ,,to ,,the ,,national ,,council4 ,it is felt by many of our missionaries ,south that their work would be facilitated by a creed1 prepared under direction of the ,national ,council1 suited to the average intelligence of the ,freedmen who apply for admission to our new churches4 ,to this end1 therefore1 the ,central ,south ,conference1 at its recent meeting in ,memphis1 drew up an overture setting forth the reasons why such creed should be provided1 and presented it to the ,council at ,st4 ,louis4 ,after preliminary statements1 the overture adds3 8,our eight colleges and our two score normal and high schools1 with their more than #h1jjj students1 and these1 with their #aej1jjj pupils in primary schools1 where they teach1 are rapidly preparing the material out of which churches of our faith and polity will be developed4 8,these children of nature1 with their ready faith but rude culture1 coming into the inheritance of this ,new ,testament way of the churches1 need the #8sincere milk of the word'--a declaration of doctrine that shall not be in the nomenclature nor in the philosophy of a past age1 but in the language and after the spirit of our improved ,new ,england theology4 ,they need a form of sound words such as that when they have once learned it they will not need to be taught over again what it does not mean in spite of its phraseology4 8,as a duty of brotherly love and of honest recompense we owe them the best things we have to give in the way of the freshest and ripest statement of the ideas and doctrines which have leavened the ,east and the ,west1 and are now setting the ,south in foment40 ,we trust the ,committee appointed by the ,council to formulate a statement of doctrine will meet the want4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,mixed ,,schools4 ,opposition to mixed schools in the ,south is not confined to the white race4 ,intelligent colored people see that these mean no opportunity for them as teachers1 at least for some years to come4 ,those who would be willing to wield the birchen rod over colored children are as yet largely in excess of those who would consent to have a colored teacher wield it over them4 ,mixed schools are needed in all the sparsely settled neighborhoods1 which includes1 of course1 all the country outside of the larger villages1 as none other can be effectively maintained4 ,none others can be harmonized with the democratic ideas upon which our institutions are based1 and it is safe to say that anything which is favored by every public and private interest1 and is opposed only by prejudice1 will in the end gain the day4 ,victories are being won with such rapidity that we can afford to wait patiently for this one1 which when gained will prove the ,appomattox of this war4 ,almost all that can be gained for the negro by legislation has been accomplished2 to overcome prejudices which wrong and hinder him1 will now depend largely upon himself4 ,the gratifying fact1 attested by prominent men all over the ,south1 is that he is playing his part with commendable manliness1 and is gaining what will never be long withheld from those who deserve it--the respect of his white neighbors4 ,it would be well for those who complain of the slow progress made for better feelings and sentiments among the ,southern whites in regard to the negroes1 and their manifest unwillingness to accord to them their rights1 quietly to digest a recent letter from the ,superintendent of ,schools in ,cambridge1 ,mass41 who explains that he has not employed properly qualified colored teachers in that city1 simply because there is so much color prejudice among the people that he deems it inexpedient to do so4 ,we know of a young colored woman1 a graduate of the high-school of the town in which she lives1 admitted by all parties to be the best scholar of her class1 and one of the best ever graduated from the school1 who cannot find employment in the profession for which she has so ably qualified herself1 only because she has a trace of negro blood in her veins4 ,when ,massachusetts and ,rhode ,island1 and we may as well include the whole of ,new ,england1 have reached and occupied sufficiently long to feel comfortable upon it1 the ground which they insist the ,south ought to take at one bound1 the ,south may be more favorably affected by their preaching of equal rights4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,exceptions ,,and ,,the ,,rule4 ,there may be exceptions which1 after all1 confirm the rule to which they do not wholly conform1 but to say that it is by exceptions the rule is to be proven1 is to betray a blind adhesion to maxims whose claim to credence is their antiquity alone4 ,a partial and hasty generalization from two or three particulars suffices for the enunciation of a general law applicable to all cases4 ,the declaration of a more careful investigator that a number of particular facts are not harmonious with the law as enunciated is met1 not with a revision of the law1 but with the assertion that exceptions do not invalidate1 but prove the rule4 ,a naturalist in the tropics describes water as being under all circumstances a fluid4 ,the solid block of ice which drifts for the first time into his field of observation he will not accept as disproving his doctrine1 but as being the exception necessary to confirm it4 ,it becomes a matter of interest to know in what way exceptions do confirm what they seemingly disprove1 and how many maybe admitted before we shall revise our classifications and re-state our general rule1 because false in its old form4 ,unquestionably an indisputable exception proves at least that the rule is not universal1 and suggests that there may be a thousand more facts out of harmony with it4 ,anglo-,saxon prejudice and conceit have laid it down as a general rule1 a law of race1 that the negro is only a somewhat superior grade of monkey1 incapable of any high degree of intellectual development2 that the only good ,indian is a dead ,indian1 and the best use he can be put to is to make a target of him for the training of our soldiers in musket firing4 ,the ,american ,missionary ,association has been engaged for the past score of years in developing exceptions to these dicta1 and it is time to raise the question seriously whether these only prove the rule or demand its revision6 ,we respectfully submit that the experiments made show a large number of exceptions2 in fact1 the number has been numerous exactly in proportion to the largeness of our opportunities and facilities for developing them4 ,a serious doubt ought by this time to take possession of the public mind whether #cb1jjj1jjj spent in ,indian wars during the past dozen years is not rather expensive target practice1 and whether the results shown by those who1 under great disadvantages1 have been attempting to civilize and ,christianize the ,indians1 are not of such character as to demand most emphatically that our method of dealing with them shall be changed4 ,we also challenge attention to the results of our educational experiments in the ,south1 as demanding in all fairness that they shall be made on a national scale1 and not simply by the private enterprise of philanthropists4 ,it is time the old answer of ignorance and stupid imbecility that exceptions only prove the rule should be thrown to the dogs1 and we should as a nation convert the dangerous elements with which we have so wickedly and foolishly dealt into sources of national power and safety4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,conversion ,,versus ,,education4 ,it was a wild and weird scene that we looked down upon from the gallery of one of the prominent colored churches in a ,southern city a few months since4 ,the preacher had1 at #aj o'clock1 p4 m41 finished his part of the service1 having preached an excellent and very simple sermon1 in which there was nothing calculated to produce the violent scenes which followed1 and having come down from the pulpit1 the brethren and sisters took the meeting under their own management4 ,up to this time it had been as quiet and decorous as a deacons' meeting in ,new ,england4 ,a stentorian 8son of thunder0 now led the singing1 and a general movement of the whole assembly at once began4 ,soon1 nearly a hundred 8seekers0 were kneeling at the 8mourners' bench10 a row of seats extending across the church1 in all stages of physical and spiritual abasement4 ,prayer and song followed each other in rapid and boisterous succession1 while the congregation of believers marched and counter-marched1 each one discharging at once his duty and a volley of counsel or encouragement to the mourners as he passed along the line4 ,black was the ground and prevailing color4 ,the lights were hardly sufficient to resolve this nebulous blackness into faces1 black sun-bonnets of the sisters1 and black-coated forms of the brethren moving to and fro through the room1 while the singers sang1 the exhorters exhorted1 the mourners mourned in dismal howls1 and the shouters shouted and leaped in ecstatic joy4 ,now and then1 one would come to the surface of all this uproar1 to tell what voices he had heard1 what visions he had seen1 what dreams he had dreamed1 and receive the assurance from the minister3 8,i have no more doubt that he has got religion1 than ,i have of my own existence10 which would be the signal for a general shout of 8glory to ,god60 that made the preceding bedlam seem tame1 and gave renewed impetus to the marchings and songs and prayers4 ,these meetings had been in nightly session for weeks1 and continued for weeks afterward1 prolonged often1 as on this night1 until #b o'clock in the morning4 ,as we left1 about midnight1 our driver1 an intelligent negro1 said3 8,you are going away too early4 ,things will get pretty warm after awhile4 ',ligion strikes a nigger first in the foot and then works up2 it is just beginning to work1 it will be lively after awhile20 of which there could not be much doubt4 ,one of our missionaries1 some time since1 was applied to by a colored woman for admission to the church4 ,at her examination before the committee1 she had a wonderful dream to tell as proof of her conversion4 ,the committee1 not deeming it sufficient evidence1 refused her application4 ,she went immediately to one of the old ministers1 and the day of her immersion was duly celebrated by a great gathering1 of which she was the heroine4 ,as she clambered up the bank of the river1 shouting aloud1 she suddenly encountered one of the deacons whose church had refused her admission4 ,giving a sudden pause to her religious fervor1 she thrust her clenched hand into his face1 exclaiming3 8,there1 ,i am baptized10 and followed up with imprecations upon himself1 pastor1 and church1 which were1 to say the least1 not saintly1 and then resumed her shout of glory6 ,to one who has seen the negro often under religious excitement1 it is evident that he seeks it as many men do intoxication1 for the mere pleasurable excitement2 he neither feels nor hears1 nor does he know of reasons for being a better man morally because of his religion2 if it only makes him happier1 it meets his need1 and the only demand he has to make of it4 ,this is a just idea of what conversion was under the old-style minister among the negroes4 ,of course1 there were many among them who preached a purer ,gospel1 and sought renewed spiritual lives among their people1 especially before emancipation1 but with freedom came the hope of political or other power1 which could be gained most easily by the preacher1 and many sought and secured such positions who were utterly unscrupulous as well as ignorant4 ,it is such a ministry as this which1 more than anything else1 opposes to-day our work among the ,freedmen4 ,dr4 ,sears stated last spring1 in his address at the ,school ,superintendents' ,convention1 that he knew of the presence of one trained normal teacher in a village to necessitate the dismissal of seven old-fashioned teachers4 ,contrast and comparison revealed sad deficiencies before unknown1 and the committee was forced to get rid of the poor teachers4 ,and so it is chiefly by what we compel others to do1 that we are to estimate the value of our intelligent and largely undenominational work in the ,south4 ,the ,freedmen are beginning to see that religion is something different from dreaming dreams or seeing visions1 or shouting1 or anything of the kind2 that it means honest1 pure1 industrious lives1 inspired and controlled by the spirit of ,jesus ,christ4 ,education is securing something better than such conversions1 in fact is making them impossible with the new generation4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,inconsiderate ,,giving4 ,we deem it inaccurate to say 8inconsiderate charity10 for such giving is not charitable giving4 8,to him that knoweth to do good and doeth it not1 to him it is sin40 ,the obligation is as imperative that we shall give intelligently as that we shall give at all4 ,the intolerable tramp nuisance with which we have been so grievously afflicted1 was nourished and built up by the illy considered sentiment which found expression in the declaration of a well-known minister1 who said he would refuse to give anything to the cause of missions before he would refuse a gift to the poor fellow who asked at his door for help1 and in the custom of a good woman of wealth1 who bought a set of crockery for tramps1 and always kept a large coffee-pot full of that delightful beverage on the stove ready for the use of her frequent guests1 a dozen of whom she has been known to feed in one day4 ,there can be no doubt that a ready and full supply of this kind will develop an almost infinite demand4 ,a lady1 prominent and well-known in ,new ,york city1 whose habit was never to give to any one asking at the door1 but to take the address of the applicant and investigate the case1 said that in seventeen years' experience she had never found a single deserving one among the many who had so applied2 in every case a fictitious address had been given4 ,we can do no safe and really charitable work until such work is intelligently organized1 so that deserving cases are supplied with just the kind of aid needed1 and fictitious and unworthy ones are exposed and punished4 ,we must know1 either by ourselves or accredited and trusted agents1 what we are doing if we are to benefit rather than curse our fellows by our so-called charities4 ,the friends of the negro are in danger constantly of being imposed upon by impostors1 who rob the cause they desire to promote of much-needed funds4 ,it is very easy for one who comes soliciting aid for a prospective college or church to secure testimonials that said institution is greatly needed1 and that the solicitor is seeking money for a most important purpose4 ,it is not necessary to show1 which is by no means the case1 that all who come from the ,south asking aid for such causes are frauds1 in order to give weight to our words of caution4 ,many of these are attempting honestly a most important work1 and ought to have sympathy and material aid1 but the individual to whom application is made has neither time nor facilities for making the proper investigations to establish this fact4 ,true1 the applicant has testimonials1 but they need investigation no less than the applicant himself4 ,we know of several cases where funds have been contributed1 and have been expended in the erection and maintenance of schools1 which are doing honest and most valuable work1 concerning which nothing but praise should be spoken1 and yet nothing but the life of one man stands between this present use of these funds and an utter perversion of them4 ,the school property is the personal property of the individual who procured the funds1 and at his death will of necessity pass into the hands of others1 who can do what they choose with it4 ,we know of one case where a wealthy man from ,new ,york1 spending the winter in the ,south1 became interested in a negro public school near his hotel4 ,he converted the rude building into a ,new ,england school-house1 supplied with first-class apparatus1 and took great satisfaction in what he had done for the poor negroes4 ,next year the negro school was transferred to another building1 and the whites made this one1 with its books1 globes1 and philosophical apparatus1 the foundation of a higher school for their own race4 ,we believe it best for the friends of negro education to work1 through some one of the various organizations which are doing this work1 who are in position to do it more wisely and efficiently than they could do it2 and would call attention to the following suggestions from a correspondent of the ,new ,york ,tribune1 as being wise and of urgent importance3 8,there are associations connected with nearly every religious denomination in the country1 to meet the great and terrible need of education among the millions of the emancipated and their children4 ,these associations are under the administration of the best and most sagacious business men in our communities1 and it is safe to say that the moneys committed to the custody of these associations are judiciously1 desirably and economically appropriated4 ,of one of these associations ,i have personal and familiar knowledge4 ,it has extensive colleges or universities in ,virginia1 ,tennessee1 ,georgia1 ,alabama1 ,louisiana1 ,mississippi and ,texas1 besides numerous schools scattered throughout the ,southern ,states4 ,nearly #cjj1jjj was expended by this association the past year1 almost exclusively in the interest of these people1 one excellent woman putting #aej1jjj in the treasury1 to be expended in making much needed additions to colleges so utterly thronged by applicants that they were compelled to turn numbers from their doors40 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,indian ,,problem4 ,,gen4 ,s4 ,c4 ,,armstrong4 ,the ,indian problem is upon us as never before4 ,the wrongs of the ,poncas1 both in themselves and as illustrating our country's mode of dealing with the red race for generations1 have touched and stirred the people4 ,the sum of six generations of slavery has been to the negro1 oppression1 offset by steady progress through it all1 and only injury to the white man4 ,the sum of six generations of ,indian treatment has been a succession of wrongs1 offset by little real advantage1 and the steady gain of the white man4 ,the negro acquired our language and ways1 and by becoming the industrial reliance of the ,south1 became1 even more than his master1 capable of taking care of himself4 ,we have destroyed the reliance of the ,indian1 his game1 and have put nothing in its place4 ,with all the justice and humanity intended in our annual outlay for the red race1 there is a pauperizing1 weakening tendency that is full of danger4 ,practically1 has the politician been any better guardian than the slave-holder8 ,the country is waking up to a sense of justice4 ,the shameful record of violated treaties and untold wrongs for the past hundred years is being brought out4 ,from the outraged negro1 for whom the country can now do nothing but help educate him1 and who1 indeed1 needs nothing but intelligence to fit him to hold his own1 our people are turning to the ,indian and demanding that ,government open before him the only way to manhood and citizenship--rights and education4 ,it must be done4 ,in the 8,century of ,dishonor10 just published by the well-known author1 8,h4 ,h410 she states that 8,to write in full the history of one of these ,indian communities1 of its forced migrations1 wars1 and miseries1 would fill a volume by itself40 ,as this shall be better realized1 a stronger public sentiment will be formed and felt4 ,other forces are at work4 ,the three hundred and fifty ,indian youth who have come voluntarily from the ,west1 many of them children of chiefs1 and entered the ,carlisle and ,hampton schools1 have already proved their capacity for mechanical and agricultural1 as well as for mental and religious improvements4 ,not but that this has already been abundantly shown2 but the work has been done at our doors2 the evidence is thrust upon us4 ,how many know that of the #bge1jjj ,indians in the ,united ,states1 #aej1jjj are already self-supporting1 #hd1jjj partly so1 while only #ca1jjj are entirely dependent on the ,government2 that their numbers are hardly diminished since the landing of the ,pilgrims8 ,bishop ,whipple1 of ,minnesota1 says3 8,the ,north ,american ,indian is the noblest type of a heathen man on the face of the earth4 ,he recognizes a ,great ,spirit2 he believes in immortality2 he has a keen intellect2 he is a clear thinker2 he is brave1 fearless1 and until betrayed1 he is true to his plighted faith2 he has a passionate love for his children and counts it joy to die for his people4 ,our most terrible wars have been with this noblest type of ,indians and with those who have been the white man's friends40 ,nearly three years' experience at ,hampton has shown that the chief danger1 the death-rate1 while serious1 is not discouraging4 ,our #hj ,indian pupils are now in better health than ever before4 ,they need in bodily ailments careful1 prompt treatment2 with that there is little danger4 ,it is clear that the death-rate is not increased by transplanting them to the ,east4 ,is not the story of our last communion service which ,i sent to the ,,missionary last week evidence enough to stimulate ,christians to the greatest effort for this race8 ,i write this paper especially to urge upon the ,american ,missionary ,association and its friends some effort for ,indians in connection with their institutions for colored people4 ,the mingling of races at ,hampton has worked admirably4 ,our colored students increased in number last year by #cg in spite of the #gj ,indians for whom separate and special pecuniary provision was made by ,government and by friends4 ,bringing ,indians to negro schools is like putting raw recruits among old soldiers4 ,the former are pushed along by a thousand indirect helpful influences2 they are improved by contact with those always ahead of them in the march of civilization2 and the latter are ennobled by what they do for their needy brethren4 ,it works well2 such mingling will strengthen and not weaken your schools1 if ,hampton experience is safe to go by4 ,to make men of the savages on our frontier and to save their souls by putting them with the ex-slave of the country is a grand work1 if it has been called 8sensational40 ,why not take these twenty ,indian children that the ,indian department are ready to give you8 ,this would be safe2 then feel your way along4 ,let them study mornings and work afternoons1 and play ,saturdays4 ,we do so4 ,the labor is one of some delicacy and difficulty4 ,but the ,indian is like everybody else4 ,that's our experience4 ,treat him firmly1 fairly1 kindly2 give him no second-rate teacher2 he is keen and appreciative4 ,why not go ahead8 ,the ,government will place them at your doors free of expense1 and give you #aej a year for twelve months' schooling and care--which will barely pay for their food and clothing4 ,that's all we can get4 ,the people must pay in part the cost of such education to get it done4 ,we try to obtain a yearly seventy-dollar scholarship for each one and have been fairly successful4 ,you can get these by working for them4 ,you say1 8,we have no room for them2 where is the money with which to erect buildings80 ,we hope next fall to have thirty more ,indian girls1 making fifty boys and fifty girls1 and are now trying to raise twenty thousand dollars to put up next summer a suitable building for the girls1 that shall have every appliance for practical education1 including cooking1 sewing1 clothes-making1 washing and ironing1 and housework generally1 furnishing room for seventy4 ,we have no idea where the money is to come from4 ,we have faith that it will come1 because such work is in the line of ,god's providential movement4 ,he who wisely works in that line cannot fail4 ,the way to get it is to ask for it1 prepare for it1 push for it1 be worthy of it1 pray for it1 and it will come4 ,the people of the country will sustain a good work for ,indians4 ,some may object that it will trespass upon the negro4 ,has it been so here8 ,how would our colored students feel to-day if our ,indians were to be withdrawn8 ,they would vote solidly against it2 they would lose and not gain1 and they know it4 ,is the mutual love and respect of these races of no account8 ,the ,american ,missionary ,association aims to destroy caste4 ,this is our way to do it4 ,nothing here has ever filled me with more pleasure than watching our students' recreations1 in which race lines are utterly forgotten4 ,they exist between them1 and many feared1 in consequence1 disastrous results of their mingling4 ,two of our most important and successful ,indian teachers are negroes1 graduates of this school4 ,three seventy-dollar scholarships are contributed by ,virginia churches for this ,indian work1 from ,petersburg1 ,portsmouth1 and ,hampton1 respectively4 ,southern churches are aiding negro schools4 ,have faith and go in for ,indians6 99 99 99 99 99 ,,general ,,notes4 ,africa4 --,a ,french school of archology1 like those which already exist at ,rome and ,athens1 will be established at

years #ahgf-ahgh the work never ceased2 the workers having put their hands to the plow did not look back nor abandon the labor to which they had consecrated themselves4 ,under many difficulties and discouragements the school did not wholly lose its organization4 ,for a time after the fire a small church opened its doors for its accommodation4 ,it was afterward removed to a little corner grocery1 which was secured and made as inviting as possible4 ,the third removal was to rooms in the present 8,mission ,home40 ,now we rejoice in a comfortable and convenient brick building1 in a very pleasant part of the city1 in the midst of a grove of pine and live-oak trees4 ,this present year our work has been assuming new proportions1 which1 although a cause for great encouragement1 involved us in new difficulties4 ,early in the year1 for lack of room1 we were obliged to refuse forty or fifty pupils admission to the intermediate and primary grades4 ,in the course of a few weeks the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 sent us another teacher1 and a new department was at once formed4 ,but where should it find a home8 ,our walls would not expand4 ,again the basement room of a church near by furnished a haven1 and the primary department1 numbering between seventy and eighty1 has been receiving instruction there4 ,in the meantime1 arrangements have been made for the removal of our own ,congregational church from its old site to a place by the side of our school building1 where it will be fitted up to answer the double purpose of chapel and schoolroom2 and the primary department will find more commodious and convenient quarters1 and hope1 in the course of a few weeks4 ,up to this time we have had enrolled #cjj pupils1 under the instruction of six teachers1 two of whom are teachers in the ,normal room1 so that the pupils must all be seated in four different rooms4 ,many friends from the ,north have been generous to us this year1 and we wish to acknowledge their kind donations and express our hearty

us at the ,home4 ,one five-dollar bill given to ,miss ,boynton1 designed especially for table use1 provided us with various essential articles3 jelly cups being exchanged for drinking glasses1 a needed coffee-pot1 tea-pot1 cups1 saucers1 etc4 ,a set of silver teaspoons helped to supply a deficiency4 ,sheets1 pillowslips and towels replaced worn out articles of prime necessity4 ,thus1 while our personal wants have been so thoughtfully provided for1 other friends have generously remembered the poor and needy ,freedmen among whom we labor1 very many of whom are suffering for the necessities of life4 ,within a week two well-filled boxes of good second-hand clothing came to ,rev4 ,o4 ,d4 ,crawford1 forwarded to him by friends in ,dubuque and ,waterloo1 ,iowa1 the distribution of which has called forth tears of gratitude1 and invoked blessings on the heads of the donors from many a poverty-stricken soul4 ,i would that space permitted me to depict some of the distressing needs of the poor right at our own door1 that the generous heart of the ,north might be opened to relieve4 ,i shall hope to avail myself of a future opportunity to give a more minute account of our

brothers1 were converted last fall term4 ,their step-father was a hard drinker2 their mother not a ,christian4 ,when they returned from their ,christmas vacation1 one of them1 greatly troubled1 told me what an unpleasant vacation they had had1 so much so1 that he felt as if he could not stay1 but must come back to us4 ,the step-father was drunk continually1 and kept about him other drunken associates1 abused the mother1 and by his conduct so grieved the boys that they felt they could not endure it4 ,they went home in ,june and took charge of the farm4 ,they held a little prayer-meeting every ,wednesday evening and ,sunday morning with the mother and step-father4 ,they also went together to the house of a near neighbor--a terribly wicked man--and held a prayer-meeting with the family every ,sunday afternoon4 ,the story of the ,prodigal ,son was the means of the conversion of one of the brothers1 and some weeks after his conversion he came in to ask where it might be found in the ,bible1 saying1 8,i have been hunting for it for two weeks1 and can't find it40 ,he says now1 8,i often read the ,bible to my mother1 and explained to her that story of the ,prodigal ,son1 to the best of my knowledge40 ,during the summer the mother was converted1 afterward the step-father1 and then the neighbor for whom and with whom the boys had been praying4 ,his face was of joy as he told of the conversion of his mother1 who 8could not bear the thought of her boys going one way and she another10 and he exclaimed1 8,oh1 ,miss ,koons1 our home is a different place now60 ,both the boys were at work in the ,sabbath-school--one at home and the other some miles from home1 and neither one missed a ,sabbath from ,june to the time of their return to us in ,november4 ,i hardly need tell you that they are not among the silent members of our weekly prayer-meetings4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,tennessee4 ,cabin1 8,frame ,house10 and 8,little ,brick40 ,,miss ,,alice ,e4 ,,carter1 ,,nashville4 ,my method of work probably does not bear the merit of originality1 yet the work itself holds for me all the charm and freshness of novelty4 ,day by day draws me closer to the hearts of the people2 day by day draws us together closer to that universal ,heart1 nearer to the ,christ whom we try to serve4 ,to make a beginning of visiting seemed at first a puzzling and almost perilous matter4 ,to attempt the mazes of the city--alleys where one cabin differed from another cabin only in its greater or less dilapidation without1 and squalor within2 to hazard a walk across the common and bottoms through the almost impassable mud1 were equally difficult beginnings1 and yet it is in these city alleys and in the bottoms and commons outside the city limits that the work is waiting--a harvest too great for the few laborers4 ,there were many ways1 ,i soon learned1 to make entrance to the homes of the people4 ,the halloo at the gate would immediately bring the loud 8come in10 and a simple excuse1 as a wish to warm or rest1 or to inquire where such a cabin might be1 would gain for me a ready welcome4 ,then1 with a few minutes' chatting and close observation1 it would be an easy matter to detect the special need there4 ,at first ,i chose for my visits only the cabins1 or1 in the parlance of the people1 the shanties1 but1 as my work has widened1 ,i have often learned of need and suffering in many a 8frame house10 or 8little brick40 ,indeed1 it seems as if the difference between those in the cabin and those in the frame house and the little brick lies here3 the former have never tried to get above their wretched poverty2 the latter have tried1 and1 with a measure of success1 still remain poor4 ,those in the cabins need everything--food and clothing primarily1 no doubt2 but of paramount importance are their other needs1 viz41 to be elevated from their sloth and indolence and licentiousness by the forces of education and religion4 ,those in the frame house and little brick need encouragement in the path already chosen4 ,i was asked to visit one day in a neat brick cottage which ,i should have passed many times with no suspicion of need within4 ,on entering1 the first thing that attracted my attention was that the walls and ceiling were entirely unfinished2 the walls were the bare bricks1 and overhead were the flooring beams1 and1 where the walls and ceiling met1 were wide open spaces for the wind to sift up from under the eaves4 ,the inmates were a colored woman1 unfitted for work by age and rheumatism1 and her daughter2 the daughter was her widowed mother's only dependence1 yet the poor girl was lying sick with pneumonia1 and had been two weeks without medical treatment4 ,they had no money1 but pride kept them reticent of their affairs4 ,to provide medicines1 and later1 little delicacies2 to visit the sick girl every day and sometimes twice a day was my care for three weeks4 ,she is now well again1 and they are independent4 ,i have made1 up to ,december #ca1 one hundred and twenty-five calls1 and have succeeded in relieving some suffering with gifts of fuel and food1 although the little accomplished in that direction is as one drop in the sea4 ,from barrels of clothing received from the ,north ,i have sold and given a great many garments2 have oftener sold1 because it seems always wiser1 although the prices may be ridiculously small4 ,this money helps me to purchase medicine for the many sick persons4 ,let me add here1 that with homeopathic remedies ,i have had most flattering success1 always preparing the medicines myself1 and carefully renewing them until the patients1 without exception so far1 are cured4 ,in addition to my visits1 ,i have tried to reach the women by means of cabin prayer-meetings1 and to help the girls and young women by the medium of sewing-schools4 ,i have two schools in successful operation in different parts of the city4 ,one numbers twenty pupils1 the other nearly forty4 ,we begin with prayer and short ,scripture reading1 and then with great eagerness the girls set about their sewing1 or lesson in cutting1 as the case may be4 ,when a garment is finished1 each girl purchases her own work for a dime or fifteen cents4 ,while they sew ,i read to them1 if occasion permits1 and sometimes they sing4 ,they have begged to meet twice a week--a fact which proves their enthusiasm4 ,my kind friends in ,boston and ,providence have done much toward supplying me with print1 gingham and cotton cloth for my sewing-schools4 ,in ,sunday-school work ,i have succeeded in drawing some strangers into my own class at ,howard ,chapel1 and in forming some other classes for volunteer teachers from ,jubilee ,hall4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,texas4 8,the ,african ,congregational ,church0 of ,paris4 ,the origin of this church1 back in the dark days of terror1 in #ahfh1 was so unique1 so spontaneous1 so much after the spirit and form of the ,new ,testament ,churches1 that we think it worth while to make some record of the same4 ,at that time the colored people were indeed 8scattered abroad as sheep having no shepherd40 ,separated from the old church edifices of the white people1 they had not yet gathered themselves into their own churches4 ,a ,mr4 ,smith1 from ,illinois1 who had gone through the war as a soldier1 and who had settled in mercantile business in ,jefferson1 ,texas1 and whose life was soon after sacrificed in the turbulence of those times1 came up through ,paris lecturing to the colored people4 ,he proposed a church that would accommodate all the ,christians1 and the result was the organization above named1 with a regular constitution and covenant4 ,its preamble reads thus3 8,we1 the ministers and members of different ,christian churches1 feeling greatly embarrassed in our former church relations1 and regarding those matters of difference which divided the churches to which we have belonged as being unimportant1 mischievous in their tendency1 and in discordance with the spirit of ,christianity1 do now1 on this #aeth day of ,march1 #ahfh1 unite in a new organization1 the ,african ,congregational ,church4 ,thankful to ,god1 our gracious and mighty ,redeemer1 for this right and privilege of choosing and adopting our own church forms1 ceremonies1 and government1 and of worshiping ,god as our conscience dictates1 we hereby solemnly pledge ourselves to ,god and to one another that we will maintain a ,scriptural ,christian character1 and support such laws and regulations founded on the ,scriptures of the ,old and ,new ,testaments as shall be adopted from time to time by two-thirds of the members of this church40 ,the ,constitution provides in the five articles for the election of 8discreet and faithful members0 as trustees1 deacons1 a clerk and treasurer1 who shall pay out money only by vote of the church upon an order from the clerk2 for the use of either one of the three modes of baptism2 and for the choosing of ministers1 8who shall preside over all the deliberations of the church20 a ,scriptural plurality of preaching elders1 a 8presbytery0 in1 and not over the church4 ,not being acquainted with the technical term of 8covenant10 they bind themselves by five articles of 8,church ,fellowship40 ,the first requires evidence of a ,christian experience2 not stopping with the fact1 of which they were not aware1 that ,congregationalism was1 at first1 a protest against receiving unregenerate members into the church1 they go back to ,acts xx41 #bj1 #ba4 ,the third reads3 8,that1 trusting in the promised grace of ,god1 we will not indulge in our hearts1 nor practice1 any of these manifest works of the flesh0 7see ,gal4 v41 #bj1 #ba72 example3 adultery1 fornication1 uncleanness1 etc4 ,the fourth binds them to cultivate the fruits of the ,spirit 7,gal4 v41 #bb1 #bc74 ,in the fifth they bind themselves to obey the ,scriptures 7#a ,thess4 v41 #aa1 #ab71 8by studying to be quiet in doing our own business1 working with our own hands1 walking honestly toward them that are without20 and also to discharge faithfully their ,christian duties as subjects of civil law and authority in obedience to ,god 7,rom4 xii41 #a1 #b74 ,here is the way by which1 for lack of a council 7of which they knew nothing71 and for lack of authority this side of the ,lord ,jesus ,christ1 whom they had taken as the ,head of their ,church1 they ordained their first presiding pastor3 8,resolved1 ,that we1 the members of this church1 in conference assembled1 do call1 set apart1 and ordain our well-beloved brother1 ,john ,mc,adams1 as the pastor of the church1 to minister to us in spiritual things as the minister of the ,gospel2 that we hereby authorize our said well-beloved brother to administer the ordinances of baptism and the holy sacrament of the ,lord's ,supper1 and to solemnize the rite of matrimony in accordance with the laws of this ,state2 and that our well-beloved brother be furnished with a certified copy of this resolution40 ,four years later the church called to its aid ,rev4 ,warren ,norton1 a ,congregational minister then at ,brenham1 ,texas1 in ordaining brothers ,albert ,gray and ,wm4 ,hamilton as their ministers in the ,lord4 ,and this last fall ,i was permitted to participate in a regular council for the ordination of ,mr4 ,j4 ,w4 ,roberts as pastor in that same church1 and of ,mr4 ,j4 ,w4 ,strong as a pastor for the church in ,corpus ,christi4 ,we had a sermon and all the other parts1 including the solemn laying on of hands in prayer2 but still we were only helping the church in a function which1 in the first place1 it exercised alone with a beautiful simplicity and all legitimate authority4 ,how has the church gotten along8 ,why1 it ran up to a large membership4 ,it paid #aae in gold for a lot1 and built a church4 ,it branched out into the ,shiloh1 the ,new ,hope1 and the ,pattonville ,african ,congregational churches1 in neighborhoods about1 and these four became associated in a quarterly conference4 ,but1 as the propagandists came along1 they found in the walls of the mother church stones with old inscriptions4 ,baptists1 ,african ,m4 ,e41 ,campbellite1 ,northern ,m4 ,e41 and each pulled out his own and set up churches of those several sorts1 so that now the original church building is the shabbiest of the lot1 and the membership is only an average4 ,but still1 with a high standing for character1 with an educated minister1 and an educated teacher1 ,prof4 ,s4 ,w4 ,white1 with a new and more respectable site1 purchased1 with the old acre and a half to be sold1 and with some members of property 7two of them large farmers7 and of influence in the community1 they give promise of great usefulness1 promise of realizing the expectations of the martyr founder4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,indians4 99 99 99 99

while the band played a welcome1 and her graduates waited to give to the audience the fruit of their three years' study and experience4 ,perhaps some of these would like to go with the quiet company who are walking to the little church in the ,soldiers' ,cemetery1 near the close of a bright day that has fallen in the midst of weeks of rain and storm1 and join in the simple communion service of the first ,sunday in the ,new ,year4 ,the afternoon sunlight slants in through the windows upon the plain walls and benches1 and lights up the dusky faces of the colored and ,indian students who fill the seats4 ,the simple service upon the communion table is the gift of the strong and loving woman1 who gave the best of her heart and brain to ,hampton at its start1 and who kept her connection with the church she helped to organize until she was called to the ,marriage ,supper of the ,lamb4 ,in the seats nearest the table are six colored and eight ,indian students who begin the ,new ,year by confessing ,christ as their ,saviour4 ,we ask ourselves1 as we notice their quiet and decorous manner1 if these can be some of the strange and uncouth people who came knocking at our doors two years ago1 and as we watch the sweet1 softening expressions stealing over their faces1 telling of reverent and gentle thoughts within1 we wonder still more if these are the very faces from which once it seemed impossible to win an answering smile4 ,the congregation rise and sing together in full1 sweet chorus1 as only a colored audience can1 8,my faith looks up to thee40 ,the minister reads the creed and covenant1 and then the ,indian scholars1 whose parents had1 perhaps1 hardly heard the name of ,christ1 come one by one to receive the rite of baptism4 ,as they kneel beside the font the minister says to each1 separately and calling him by name1 8,do you promise to take ,jesus ,christ as your ,saviour1 to love him and serve him8 ,do you promise80 and the emphatic ,indian assent and little ,annie's timid 8,yes1 sir10 are heard through the still church1 and those who wait to hear know that the heart's promise has gone with the lips4 ,ahuka 7,white ,wolf7 comes first for baptism4 ,as he stands there quiet and reverent1 a sudden memory of the first time we saw and knew him flashes across our minds4 ,we see again the school-room1 the day after the arrival of the new pupils4 ,they are seated in a semi-circle around a teacher1 who stands by a black-board on which some easy ,english words have been written3 8,stand up2 ,walk2 ,stop2 ,look up20 which she has been teaching the scholars to illustrate4 ,on the front seat at one end sits ,ahuka1 a somewhat alarming-looking pupil4 ,his thick1 shaggy1 black hair bangs down to his waist over the blanket which he holds wrapped tight about him1 while he casts now and then stealthy but keen glances from under his heavy eyebrows4 ,teacher debates for a few seconds whether to call on him for a recitation2 but concludes not to shirk1 and he comes to the board4 ,teacher points to the first word on the blackboard1 on the pronunciation of which she has been drilling the class1 and looks at the brave for a response4 ,brave looks at her1 then at the word1 back again1 more sharply at her1 says nothing4 ,teacher mustn't expect a response in a hurry1 keeps her pointer on the word and her eye on the brave4 ,brave continues to transfer his glance from the word to the teacher1 till suddenly1 whether in despair or rage she cannot tell1 he throws his head back1 bends forward and utters a prolonged howl4 ,teacher with difficulty restrains herself from a flight down the corridor1 and doesn't question why he is called 8the ,wolf40 ,it is no difficult task to picture him back in the wilds of ,dakota4 ,we think of him now3 his quiet and reverent manner2 the pleading look we have learned to know in the once defiant1 savage eyes1 and we pray that as he is laying aside all that was the pride and pleasure of his savage strength he may grow 7slowly he must1 but certainly he shall7 into the beauty and power and glory of a ,christian manhood4 ,harry ,brown1 ,chief ,white ,horse's manly little son1 stands by the font now4 ,we came near making a bad mistake about ,harry4 ,the day that the minister had appointed to talk to the scholars who were to unite with the church was a crisp winter one1 and the creek was covered with glittering ice4 ,harry went skating2 almost the first chance he'd had since he left ,dakota4 ,there was no way to tell the time2 he was having splendid fun4 ,he stayed too long2 when he came back it was too late for the meeting4 ,the next day1 when the minister kindly made an appointment for him by himself1 one of the first questions he asked was1 8,harry1 do you pray80 8,no40 8,not pray80 8,no40 8,did you ever pray80 8,yes40 8,and you don't pray now80 8,no40 8,why not80 ,and then ,harry shut himself behind his ,indian reserve and his inability to talk ,english1 and didn't say anything more4 ,it certainly didn't look as if he was far on the road to saint-ship4 ,and yet if there was a boy in the school who was commending himself by his faithful1 kind and manly conduct it was ,harry ,brown4 ,what did it mean8 ,the minister asked one of the teachers1 with whom the boy might not be so shy1 to try and find out4 ,she dismissed the interpreter1 who seemed to embarrass him1 and all her questions were answered with thoughtfulness and earnestness till the old one came up1 8,harry1 the minister says you don't pray80 ,then came the same emphatic 8,no40 8,well1 ,harry1 this isn't a little thing you want to do4 ,you are going to give yourself to ,god to be ,his child all your life1 and you say you don't pray to ,him4 ,it seems as if you didn't care much about it4 ,we think you had better wait till the next ,communion ,sunday1 and be sure you mean what you are going to do40 8,how long80 said ,harry4 8,two months40 8,too long4 ,can't wait4 ,must come now10 said ,harry decidedly4 8,how long have you been trying to do right1 ,harry80 8,two years40 ,then ,i think ,harry's good angel put a thought into the teacher's mind4 8,harry1 have you changed your room lately8 ,do you stay now with those seven boys up-stairs80 8,yes40 8,is that the reason you don't pray8 ,are you ashamed80 8,yes40 8,doesn't any boy in that room pray80 8,just one40 8,well1 if you are going to be ,christ's soldier you have got to fight for ,him sometimes when it's hard4 ,will you pray to-night80 8,yes40 ,and knowing that older ,christians had wavered before the same temptations1 and not been more honest and brave in acknowledging it1 we forebore to shut the boy away from the patient guidance and long suffering love which leads us all4 ,a few weeks afterward we asked ,harry one day when the interpreter was by1 8,harry1 do you pray now80 ,the little interpreter himself looked up with a quick1 bright smile1 8,all we boys in that room pray now every night40 ,it was a good victory1 surely1 for the first one4 ,god grant that each of those who are now confessing ,christ be kept by ,him in the temptations which will crowd them in the life to which they must go4 ,the service is almost over4 ,the bread and wine have been passed4 ,to each waiting heart down through its darkness to its weakness has come the touch of the ,divine ,soul which is light and power4 ,once more the sweet strong chorus rises1 8,jesus1 ,lover of my ,soul40 ,we go out into the twilight4 ,the young crescent and the star of love hang in the ,western sky whose glowing sunset lights are reflected in

subscriptions and donations as well as for auxiliary societies4 ,some suggestions as to organization and management of auxiliaries are here made in the hope that they may be helpful4 ,in many places the sewing society1 devoted to parish work1 may take in addition the ,home ,mission work1 if it is as agreeable to the members as it has been found to be in many cases already4 ,at each meeting1 some one previously appointed may communicate intelligence of ,home ,mission work1 while others sew4 ,in other places the old cent society to which our grandmothers belonged is available as the channel for contributions4 ,in other places still1 a wholly separate organization may be most advisable1 in which the filling of ,home ,mission boxes1 the collection of money for the ,w4 ,h4 ,m4 ,a41 and the communication of intelligence as to ,home ,mission work may be the only objects of the society4 ,the regular ,woman's ,prayer ,meeting might well set apart one meeting each month where they are held weekly1 or a meeting at longer intervals when they occur less frequently2 this monthly or quarterly meeting to be devoted to prayer and conversation about the spread of the ,gospel in our own country4 ,at these meetings a collection may be taken and there may be a treasurer to receive this1 and an officer1 either secretary or president1 to preside at the meeting4 ,it is not necessary that these officers should serve no other organizations1 since the same person not infrequently acts as an officer in one or more societies and keeps the business of each by itself4 ,it seems wise1 however1 whenever a sufficient number of persons can be obtained1 to have separate officers for different organizations4 ,the end to be attained is that there be a definite1 separate time given to praying and working for the cause of the evangelization of our own country1 and a definite1 separate contribution arranged so that each woman of the church may have just the channel at hand by which to send her own offering for this cause direct to its destination4 ,and further1 may we not ask those churches that have adopted the system of weekly offerings1 known as the 8,harris plan10 to put this ,association also on their list1 to make this one of the channels of distribution through which individual members of the church show their desire and accomplish their purpose of co-operating in ,christ's work of saving men8 ,it is no longer--if it ever ought to have been--the age in which ,christian men and women should wait to be stirred1 to be urged1 even to be invited1 to give4 ,does it not become each of us to find out by calculation1 careful1 generous calculation1 how much we can afford to the specific work of spreading the ,gospel2 and then through what channels we can best effect our object8 ,and if this is done by all will there not be some who will wish to send part of their funds through this society1 whose work is1 directly1 for the women and children of our country8 ,new opportunities for work are presenting themselves almost every week1 in the new ,west1 the ,south1 for ,indian girls1 for colored women and children4 ,there is no quarter to which we can look that we do not see those1 dear to us by nature1 and by what ,christ has done for us1 waiting to be helped and to be taught2 nor1 as yet1 have we had any lack of those who were well fitted for the work of teaching and helping1 and anxious to go into it4 ,we1 therefore1 ask the ,christian women in our churches whether1 in addition to the interest1 money and prayer they are giving to kindred societies1 they do not wish to give also to this particular work which seems at once so urgent and so promising4 ,it requires but small individual sums1 regularly and prayerfully given1 to enable the church to
