receipts of the ,association for the month of ,sept4 were #cj1dag4id4 ,for the financial year1 which closed with that month1 the receipts were1 with balance1 #bdd1egh4if4 ,one year ago the ,association asked for an advance of #be per cent41 and its friends have made it #cj per cent4 ,the year has been closed without any debt upon the treasury1 and with a balance in hand of #eah4he4 ,in addition to this1 the ,association has used during the year #gg1aca4ig of the ,stone ,fund toward the erection of the buildings for which it was given4 ,this makes a grand total for the year of #cba1gaj4ic4 ,this enlargement of the capital by the addition of the ,stone buildings will require a corresponding increase of funds to carry on the business4 ,the advance of the past year is an occasion for profound gratitude1 and inspires hope for the needed increase of the coming year4 ,we are happy to furnish our readers in this number with a few reports of the successful openings of our schools ,south4 ,we give also a few brief accounts of summer revivals4 ,such times of refreshing are quite as frequent among the colored people in summer as in winter4 99 99 99 99 99 ,rev4 ,hamilton ,w4 ,pierson1 ,d4,d41 formerly missionary of this ,association at ,andersonville1 ,ga41 has written a very readable book on the old time social1 political and religious life in the ,south-west4 ,in it he has garnered up many valuable remembrances of the condition of both whites and blacks before the war1 special reference being made to their religious experiences1 which he had the privilege of observing during many years of service as agent of the ,american ,bible ,society4 ,he calls his book 8,in the ,brush40 ,it is published by ,d4 ,appleton ,company1 ,new ,york4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,john ,,brown ,,memorial ,,steamer ,,for ,,the ,,mendi ,,mission4 ,the ,mendi ,mission was organized in #ahdb1 in about #g deg4 north latitude1 ,west ,central ,africa4 ,it was primarily a mission for the ,amistad captives1 freed slaves who had escaped from bondage by the incidents following their mysterious appearance in ,long ,island ,sound1 and their subsequent imprisonment in ,new ,haven1 ,connecticut4 ,the men who1 by their charitable forethought1 provided for their defense in the ,u4,s4 ,supreme ,court by ,john ,quincy ,adams1 and for their education while in ,new ,england as well as their return to ,africa1 were most active in founding the ,a4 ,m4 ,a41 which has sustained the mission since #ahdf4 ,the fact that there are no roads or domestic animals for carrying burdens in the ,mendi country1 renders the use of boats a necessity as a means for transportation4 ,the interests of the mission have suffered for the want of a steamer to facilitate the work at the saw-mill and to carry the missionaries back and forth up the river1 thereby avoiding the exposure to disease by long delays in the marshy regions4 ,the proper persons are already provided to have the steamer in charge1 and we only wait for the little rills and large streams of benevolence to flow in and float it4 ,about #aj1jjj are needed4 ,in order that old and young may have a part in this work1 we have arranged to issue two grades of shares as follows3 ,first ,grade1 #ajj2 ,second ,grade1 #aj4 ,the certificates of shares will be issued on heavy calendered paper1 size about #h by #aj inches1 in two colors2 the ,first ,grade ,certificates green and black1 and the ,second ,grade black and brown4 ,we cordially invite all friends of ,african missions1 whether pastors1 ,sunday-school superintendents1 heads of families or others1 to assist us in providing1 at an early date1 this much-needed agency for the development of ,christian civilization in the dark continent4 ,all communications should be forwarded to ,h4 ,w4 ,hubbard1 ,treasurer of the ,american ,missionary ,association1 #ef ,reade ,street1 ,new ,york4 ,illustration3 ,,facsimile ,,of ,,first ,,grade ,,certificate ,,reduced ,,one-,,third4 ,the progress of educational work in ,mississippi1 according to the published statement of ,gen4 ,j4 ,a4 ,smith1 ,sup't of ,public ,instruction for the ,state1 is of a hopeful character4 ,the number of white children in public schools for the year #ahhj was greater by #g1jcg than in #ahgi1 and the number of colored children #ab1iad4 ,the average daily attendance shows an increase of #f1ejj white children and #aa1bhh colored4 ,the number of teachers employed was #bjb over that of the preceding year1 the increase being confined to the colored teachers4 ,the total number of pupils enrolled for #ahhj was #aab1iid whites and #abc1gaj colored4 ,the total disbursements were #hcj1gjd4gi4 99 99 99 99 99 ,upon the invitation of the ,congregational ,union of ,england and ,wales at the hand of ,rev4 ,dr4 ,alexander ,hannay1 of ,london1 and by the appointment of the ,national ,council and of this ,association1 our ,secretary1 ,dr4 ,m4 ,e4 ,strieby1 went over to represent both of these bodies at the ,jubilee of that ,union1 which was held at ,manchester in ,free ,trade ,hall1 ,october #dth to the #ajth4 ,we learned by cablegram that ,rev4 ,henry ,allon1 ,d4,d41 was made chairman1 and that ,dr4 ,strieby1 with other foreign delegates1 was heard on the #fth4 ,it was fitting that the ,english people1 who had done so much through this ,association in the way of aiding students in our ,southern institutions1 and of raising the fund for the ,arthington ,mission in the basin of the ,upper ,nile1 should seek and secure a report from our ,secretary-in-,chief1 of the processes and results of this missionary organization4 ,great ,britain and ,america both owe a common debt to our ,freedmen and to the land of their ancestors4 ,dr4 ,strieby is expected to return in season to participate in our ,annual ,meeting1 making report of ,english public sentiment in respect to this great international missionary enterprise4 ,during his absence1 his place has been filled by ,rev4 ,jos4 ,e4 ,roy1 ,d4,d41 the ,field ,superintendent of our ,southern work4 99 99 99 99 99 ,it was a happy thought of ,prof4 ,henry ,cowles1 after he had completed his set of sixteen volumes of ,commentaries on the ,bible1 that he would assign the property of the stereotype plates1 the copyrights1 and the contract with the publishers1 ,d4 ,appleton ,co41 to the ,american ,board1 the ,home ,missionary ,society and this ,association4 ,his generous devising took in also the missionaries themselves1 and provides that the fifteen per cent4 of royalty on all books sold shall be applied1 at the discretion of the ,secretaries of the several societies1 in supplying with the commentaries such of them as may not be well able to buy them4 ,when our ,executive ,committee1 in ,september1 passed its vote of thanks for this testimony of love1 they did not know that a few days before1 this ,john-like disciple had been called up to lean upon the bosom of his ,master1 who had already given him a better 8well-done40 ,these notes1 giving the latest results of ,biblical scholarship1 without the tedious processes of the same and applying a sanctified common sense in interpreting the ,divine ,word1 will stand for a long time as a fountain of instruction and of comfort to ,bible students4 ,the question is often asked1 ,what one set of commentaries on the whole ,bible can be recommended to people who do not wish to go into the extended works of ,biblical exegesis8 ,we do not know of any better one to name than this4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,president ,,garfield ,,and ,,the ,,negro4 ,the mind of ,president ,garfield was too broad and generous1 his nature too honest and sincere1 for him not to take at once and forever the part of the wronged1 however humble1 as against the wrong-doer1 however powerful4 ,he knew too well the value of education to one who was compelled to struggle up from the depths of poverty for place and power not to emphasize the duty of putting the opportunity and facilities for education within reach of all the ignorant4 ,he first knew of the ,congressional ,record when he saw it in the hands of an opponent in a discussion of the slavery question4 ,he began his political life in the days when the ,supreme ,court of the ,united ,states1 in the ,dred ,scott decision1 had asserted that slavery was the genius of our ,constitution1 and liberty the child only of local and state regulations4 ,with clearest vision he saw when the war began that the real issue was the death or the supremacy of slavery1 and threw his whole soul into that conflict4 ,he was selected by the constituents of ,giddings1 as the one most worthy to succeed that veteran opponent of slavery in ,congress4 ,after his nomination to the ,presidency1 in his first regular speech1 made in response to a serenade in ,new ,york ,city by the ,boys in ,blue1 he said1 speaking of the ,freedmen3 8,we will stand by them until the sun of liberty1 fixed in the firmament of the ,constitution1 shall shine with equal ray upon every man1 white or black1 throughout the ,union4 ,fellow-citizens1 fellow-soldiers1 in this there is all the beneficence of eternal justice1 and by this we will stand forever40 ,a noble sentiment1 which must become a fact established beyond the possibility of successful assault before the nation can enter upon the path of peace or safety4 ,in reply to an address by a delegation of colored men who visited him in ,mentor1 just before he left home to assume the duties of his high office1 he said1 in effect1 that it was not within the power of the ,president by appointments and official recognitions to raise the colored people to the level of social recognition and honor4 ,the path to this leads through education and thrift4 ,the negro1 like every one else1 must be the architect of his own fortunes1 and compel by worth the respect he seeks4 ,but turning from the negro who would have appointment to the nation which he held responsible for his condition--to the nation endangered by that condition--he said in his inaugural address1 which his successor1 nor ,congress1 nor the people should neither forget nor fail to heed3 8,the census has already sounded the alarm in the appalling figures which mark how dangerously high the tide of illiteracy has risen among our voters and their children4 ,to the ,south this question is one of supreme importance4 ,but the responsibility for the existence of slavery did not rest upon the ,south alone4 ,the nation itself is responsible for the extension of the suffrage1 and is under special obligation to aid in removing the illiteracy which it has added to the voting population4 ,for the ,north and ,south alike there is but one remedy4 ,all the constitutional power of the nation and of the states1 and all the volunteer forces of the people1 should be summoned to meet this danger by the saving influence of universal education4 ,it is the high privilege and sacred duty of those now living to educate their successors and fit them by intelligence and virtue for the inheritance which awaits them4 ,in this beneficent work sections and races should be forgotten1 and partisanship should be unknown40 ,he also at the same time gave due recognition to the efforts made by the ,freedmen3 8,the emancipated race have already made remarkable progress4 ,with unquestioning devotion to the ,union1 with a patience and gentleness not born of fear1 they have #8followed the light as ,god has given them to see light4' ,they are rapidly laying the material foundations of self-support1 widening the circle of intelligence1 and beginning to enjoy the blessings that gather around the homes of the industrious poor4 ,they deserve the generous encouragement of all good men4 ,so far as my authority can lawfully extend1 they shall enjoy the full and equal protection of the ,constitution and laws40 ,he said to the ,fisk ,university ,jubilee ,singers1 who at his invitation visited him at ,mentor1 on the #cjth of ,september1 #ahhj3 8,now1 friends1 the earthly saviour of your people must be universal education1 and ,i believe your voices are preparing the way for the coming of that blessing4 ,you have sung a great ,university into being4 ,i hope your voices are heralding the great liberation which education will bring to your lately enslaved brethren4 ,you are fighting for light and for the freedom it brings1 and in that contest ,i would rather be defeated with you than to be victorious against you4 ,in the language of the song you have just sung1 ,i say to you1 #8,march on1 and you shall win the victory--you shall gain the day4'0 ,his indignation because of the injustice done this people flashed out just before his assassination1 when learning that this band of singers had been refused admission to the hotels in ,springfield1 ,ill41 he caused a telegram to be sent to them saying1 that if they received similar treatment when they came to ,washington1 he would be glad to receive them as his own guests at the ,white ,house4 ,it would be unjust to the memory of this great and good man to leave at least this much unsaid of his interest in the race whose wrongs appealed so strongly to his sympathies1 and whose fate he saw to be so intimately and indissolubly linked with that of the nation2 and whatever in his life and character may be celebrated and memorialized1 justice will not have been done him until suitable commemoration is made of this interest4 ,,benefactions4 --,hon4 ,h4 ,b4 ,curtis has given

completely different as to the form of the head and the color of the skin4 --,in his exploration in the country of the ,soumalis1 ,m4 ,g4 ,revoil has found the vestiges of a ,greek colony to which a ,gallas white tribe had attached itself4 ,the arms1 the clothing1 the idiom and the physiognomy of the people of the tribe confirm this opinion4 --,besides the two stations founded at ,vivi and ,isangila1 ,stanley has charged ,lieut4 ,harron with the establishment of a third at ,manyanga1 where ,m4 ,mc,call has already installed the missionaries4 --,a new ,international ,belgian expedition

by1 and de world make him a courtesy40 ,this was a strange answer2 but it was her way of saying1 8,the ,lord reigneth2 444 let the earth be moved40 --,they have found in the papers of the late ,captain ,phipson ,wybrants1 who died in the exploration of the country of ,oumzila1 a very minute statement concerning the ,sabia1 one of the great rivers of ,southern ,africa1 which flows into the ,channel of ,mozambique4 ,the upper part of its course has been little known4 ,the outline of ,m4 ,wybrants will allow of the correction of the errors on the ancient maps4 --,the complete success of the expedition sent out by the ,royal ,geographical ,society of ,rome in charge of ,signori ,matteucci and ,massari is likely to cause a disturbance among map makers4 ,these parties have found their way from ,egypt across the continent to the ,gulf of ,guinea1 exploring many hitherto unknown regions in the dark continent4 ,a full account of their journey and the country and people along their way will be looked for with intense interest4 --,the conquest of ,algeria by the ,french1 in #ahcj1 restored to ,christianity that portion of ,african soil1 but for prudential reasons1 no missionary enterprises were permitted4 ,but in #ahfh a famine occurred which destroyed in some districts of ,algeria a fifth of the population1 leaving thousands of native children in utter destitution4 ,nine thousand of these were gathered by the ,archbishop of ,algiers1 and cared for during their youth4 ,in this way the ,catholic church has extended its influence and fame far and wide through the back country4 ,a hospital has been provided by the charity of the natives in the village of ,st4 ,cyprien where the sick are gratuitously attended4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,indians4 --,captain ,pratt of the ,indian ,training ,school at ,carlisle ,barracks1 has persuaded the apprentice boys who are earning money to deposit it in the bank1 and forty-seven of them have opened an account4 ,an excellent suggestion for pale faces as well4 --,more than nine-tenths of the ,indians in the ,united ,states are peaceably cultivating their farms1 and sending their sons and daughters to the ,government schools1 ,east and ,west4 ,the disturbance1 therefore1 made by one tribe of the most wild and untamed ,indians in the country will not particularly discourage or alarm those who have been watching the admirable ,peace ,policy of the ,government4 ,a little more patience and perseverance in the right direction would soon overcome what remains of hostility among these wards of the ,nation4 --,the liberality of the ,indians at ,white ,earth ,reservation is testified to by ,bishop ,whipple1 who recently visited the ,episcopal mission at that point4 ,he says that in taking the offerings1 every man1 woman and child came up and deposited the gift in the alms basin4 ,the ,bishop also speaks encouragingly of the religious work carried on at ,red ,lake1 where there is a flourishing ,indian church1 whereas three years ago there was not a single member4 ,five miles farther up the ,lake1 more than half the ,indians are ,christians1 and these have been baptized within the past three years4 ,the ,indian chief1 who is an exemplary ,christian and one of the noblest specimens of his race1 has had much to do in bringing about this wonderful change4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,chinese4 --,the

would not hold the congregation4 ,quite a number came from ten to twelve miles1 a few from twenty to twenty-five miles4 ,many white people attended every night meeting4 ,indeed1 more white people attended the services than had ever attended any one meeting here since the church was built4 ,a number of them have expressed themselves well pleased with the preaching4 ,seven persons1 two of them

our hearts for the ingathering of precious souls4 ,on ,monday night1 ,july #ahth1 we began a series of meetings for the unconverted4 ,they continued about three weeks1 during which time thirty confessed ,christ4 ,most of these1 we believe1 were hopefully converted4 ,three or four of those who sought ,christ in the meetings have been brought out into the light of a dear ,saviour since the meetings closed2 thus making the number more than thirty4 ,seventeen united with us1 and a few more will come in at the next communion4 ,some1 of course1 joined other churches with their parents or friends4 ,we held a young convert's meeting each week from the close of the protracted meeting to the last of ,september1 when ,i left for school4 ,there was nothing to me more cheering than to listen to the simple child-like prayers and talks of the young converts in their meetings4 ,the youngest are three little girls who are respectively about nine1 eleven and twelve years old4 ,they are always at their post1 and it is hoped that their ,christian lives will be long and active4 99 99 99 99 99 ,mc,i,n,t,o,s,h1 ,,cypress ,,slash1 ,,ga4 ,in my last letter ,i informed you of the extra series of

all of these are adults4 ,sixteen hopeful young men and women have been added to the church within the last two weeks4 ,god has greatly blessed us in our efforts to build up ,his kingdom1 for which we give many thanks1 and are very greatly encouraged4 ,pray for us that others may be added1 such as shall be saved4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,talladega1 ,,ala4 ,our series of meetings began on the first ,sabbath in ,september1 and at the first invitation offered to the unconverted1 at the #aa o'clock service1 five came forward inquiring the way of life1 and strange to say1 each of that five was hopefully converted before the next ,sabbath4 ,there were several other inquirers during that week1 but on account of repairs to the chapel1 we were obliged to close our meetings on ,tuesday of the next week4 ,eleven united with our church--six on profession1 and five by letter4 ,not being ordained1 it was necessary that ,i should get some other minister to perform the baptism and administer the ,lord's ,supper4 ,elder ,shuford1 in charge of the ,methodist church in this place1 aided me1 and the work was accomplished4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,anniston1 ,,ala4 ,the revival work commenced in our county the middle of ,july4 ,since that date several churches of different denominations have been carrying on revival meetings4 ,all1 more or less1 have rejoiced over the ingathering of souls4 ,even our own little church has felt the visitation of the ,holy ,ghost and witnessed the gathering in of the sheaves into the ,master's store-house4 ,we began our meetings two weeks ago4 ,the first week we carried on a woman's prayer meeting4 ,the subject was1 8,that the church might lay aside every weight and sin1 which doth so easily beset1 and labor for the conversion of souls40 ,these meetings did a great deal of good1 for when the meetings proper began1 the church was ready to enter upon the ,master's work1 which it did with great earnestness4 ,the meetings closed with eight conversions4 ,all united with us save one4 ,others are anxiously seeking for the blessed ,master4 ,there was an expression of great joy among my people to know that they had seven more to come around the ,lord's table and take with us the emblems of our ,lord's broken body and shed blood4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,lawsonville ,,and ,,the ,,cove4 ,the church at ,lawsonville has been blessed with a revival4 ,there were seven conversions and four accessions to the church4 ,at the ,cove we enjoyed a revival season in which there were seven conversions and three accessions4 ,the meetings did great good in reviving professed ,christians1 and bringing parties out of the path of the church to a realization of their responsibilities to ,god and society4 ,i visited and assisted ,bro4 ,snell at ,kingston during a revival at that place1 in which there were several conversions prior to my leaving1 among which were four white men of respectability in that community4 ,i have just returned home from a revival at my former station1 ,anniston1 where much good was done in reviving the church1 and turning some seven or eight souls from the error of their ways4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,childersburg1 ,,ala4 ,we commenced our summer series of meetings on the fourth ,wednesday night in ,july4 ,on the ,sabbath we had a great gathering4 ,in the afternoon prayer meeting1 every body seemed to be deeply impressed with the spirit of the ,lord1 and at night many came forward for prayers4 ,the house was full all day and at night4 ,about two o'clock ,i was awakened by the alarm of fire1 and one of my members rapped at the door and said1 8,our church is on fire60 ,i rose to my feet and reached the church just as it was falling in4 ,we came down to the ,baptist church and continued our meetings4 ,many took a stand for the ,lord and joined our church4 ,after my meetings were over1 ,i helped others4 ,at ,shelby ,iron ,works twelve or fifteen gave their hearts to the ,lord1 and at ,talladega the meetings were very interesting and profitable4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,nashville1 ,,tenn4 ,on the first ,sabbath of the month a revival began and continued for two weeks4 ,our meetings were large and spirited1 and all of us have been benefited by them1 some of us in a special manner4 ,the little flock is greatly strengthened and revived1 and is in a better working condition4 ,all little jealousies and acrimonies have been buried 7,i trust never to rise again71 and a kindly feeling pervades the entire atmosphere of our church circle4 ,as a result of the revival1 five persons have been added to our church1 and these five are live and not dead ,christians4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,paris1 ,,texas4 ,our protracted meetings began here the fourth ,sunday in ,june and continued two weeks4 ,we had no conversions1 but the church was revived4 ,during these meetings many persons came forward to be prayed for4 ,two weeks later the fire of the ,holy ,ghost which was kindled here broke out at ,pattonville4 ,we joined our brethren out there in a week and a half meeting4 ,before the meetings broke up we had thirteen to come out on the ,lord's side2 six joined our church1 and the rest went into other churches4 ,bro4 ,jordan ,carter1 a worthy young member of my church1 keeps up this work here and at ,new ,hope4 ,the spiritual condition of these churches in the country is good4 ,pattonville church has #cj or more members1 and ,new

first ever attempted here4 ,we enrolled #bj pupils1 six of whom had taught school1 and four were preparing to teach next winter4 ,most of the others were primary scholars4 ,our pupils did good work4 ,since the school closed1 some of our pupils have attended a ,teacher's ,institute in an adjoining county1 lasting a week4 ,one of them proved to be one of the best scholars present1 was commended by the county superintendent of instruction1 who conducted the institute1 and by him urged to attend the public examination of teachers in ,october4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,montgomery1 ,,ala4 ,swayne ,school opened last year with #cjj pupils1 this year with #djj1 showing an encouraging increase of #ajj4 ,we are securing student aid from friends at the ,north for several students who have gone from here to the higher institutions4 ,most of our best students are quite young and can do as well here at present1 except that it is better for them to be in an institution where they can be under proper control twenty-four hours in the day4 ,the social and church life of these people is so bad that we advise all to leave for boarding-schools and colleges as soon as they can4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,emerson ,,institute1 ,,mobile1 ,,ala4 ,the institute opened its doors on the #c;d inst4 ,the full corps of seven teachers1 including music teacher1 were present4 ,in the two lower grades the attendance of pupils somewhat exceeded that of last year2 in the higher grades it was less4 ,the total was #eb4 ,at the end of four days it has increased to #ge4 ,this dilatory entrance will probably continue until the total will run up to #cjj1 or thereabouts4 ,some of our students residing at remote points wrote that many new ones would come2 but the drought has delayed1 perhaps prevented them4 ,the uncommon heat of the summer has cut off the expected means of some4 ,poverty is keeping a considerable number of our former ,normal pupils at work for the present4 ,the outlook presents many hopeful points4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,howard ,,university4 ,,rev4 ,w4 ,w4 ,,patton1 ,d4,d41 ,,washington1 ,d4,c4 ,our new year has opened at ,howard ,university with great promise of good4 ,a remarkably large attendance at

,preparatory4 ,the incoming ,freshman ,class of ,college numbers #h4 ,already #ac new ones have joined the ,theological ,department and others are expected4 ,many more would have come to it1 but the standard of admission is now much higher than it used to be1 and will be gradually raised as better and better material will be furnished4 ,we discourage and often reject poorly qualified applicants4 ,the ,medical and ,law courses are just commencing their term1 and with bright prospects4 ,the medical faculty is one of eminence1 three of its members having been connected with the illness of ,president ,garfield2 ,dr4 ,purvis being the first to prescribe for him after the shooting2 ,dr4 ,reyburn having been one of the six physicians in regular attendance2 and ,dr4 ,lamb having performed the operation at the autopsy4 ,last year this department had #ha students 7a majority being white71 and this year the number will sum up to nearly quite a hundred4 ,it is open to ladies as well as gentlemen4 ,all the law graduates of last year 7#e in number7 have come back to take the post-graduate course4 ,the law students this year will number twenty or more4 ,the ,university students1 through poverty1 are compelled to spend the vacation in earning money 7for which they find many opportunities to the north of us71 and have been acting as waiters at the springs and the seaside resorts1 where their good behavior makes many friends and often secures benefactors4 ,eight of the theological students gave themselves to missionary work with great success during the summer4 ,one received twenty converts to the church1 the ,sabbath before he came back to resume study4 ,the others were in the rural district of ,southern ,virginia1 dark with ignorance1 where they established day-schools as well as ,sunday-schools1 aided in a very interesting ,sunday-school convention of that region1 visited the families and preached the ,gospel4 ,it is thought that several new churches will soon result from these efforts1 and one such was organized last month4 ,they gave special attention to encouraging young men to prepare for usefulness as teachers and ministers1 but hardly any proper facilities exist there1 and poverty prevents them from going elsewhere to obtain education4 ,we are continually tried by not having the means to aid those seeking the higher education1 as the number increases and their literary character improves1 while the colored people must have educated leaders in church and state4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,hampton1 ,,va4 ,,miss ,,helen ,w4 ,,ludlow4 ,hampton begins the year with a large influx of students4 ,they have come in much faster and more promptly than ever before4 ,last year1 our largest number was #che1 including #gj ,indians2 now1 on the sixth day of school1 we have #che1 only #dj of whom are ,indians4 ,they appear to be a good set--hopeful material--on the whole1 in advance of former years4 ,indeed1 so many more have applied than it is possible to accommodate1 that it has been our duty1 of course1 to select the best1 and examinations have been more severe4 ,our quarters are full to overflowing1 especially the girls'4 ,there is a larger proportion of these than ever4 ,seven of our returning students report that they have taught schools this vacation4 ,a few more who will return are still out teaching4 ,of the few students1 sixty-one reported having come through the agency of our graduate teachers1 and fourteen more through that of undergraduates4 ,one girl brought nine4 ,several of our graduate teachers came in person to bring their students4 ,forty-seven students reported as having worked as ,sunday-school teachers this summer4 ,some have been active in temperance work1 and give interesting account of their efforts1 especially among the young4 ,they find the old people hard to touch4 ,they are1 of course1 most of them too young themselves to do as effective work as our graduate teachers4 ,a revival has been in progress through the summer in some of the colored churches of ,hampton1 and our students who stayed at the school to work through vacation1 took part in the meetings to some extent4 ,our own ,sunday-school organization was kept up under our resident graduates4 ,in the course of the summer our students here also interested themselves in an effort to aid the ,tuskegee ,normal ,school1 ,alabama1 taught by our two graduates1 ,mr4 ,booker ,washington and ,miss ,olivia ,davidson2 and succeeded by their own exertions in raising by a festival and otherwise1 #ge towards the payment of a small farm 7already half paid for71 by the purchase of which ,mr4 ,washington is trying to put his school on a manual labor basis4 ,the ,hampton ,school ,mission ,association1 organized last year1 will continue its work by helping in the ,sunday-schools in the town1 ,bible reading in the jail and poor-house1 and among the aged poor1 and aiding them in other ways within their power4 ,our young men have taken a great pleasure in giving a day's work now and then to patch up some poor old cabin against the severity of the winter1 or to supply some poor old aunty with food and fire4 ,as to your inquiry for the number1 condition and wants of students seeking a higher education1 ,i suppose if the question were put to the school1 how many would like to pursue a higher education1 they would rise en masse1 without always much appreciation of the labor or the value in it2 but the ,hampton ,school is so well-known to be established on the basis of self-help1 and for the purpose of immediate helpfulness1 that it draws to it chiefly the class who are glad of a chance to work their way through school1 and are seeking to fit themselves as promptly as possible for the work of life4 ,the opportunities for this1 in learning trades and in ,normal training1 are greater this year than ever4 ,general ,armstrong left on ,september #bgth for ,dakota1 with #cj ,indian students1 #bc boys and #g girls1 who having been with us three years1 are now returning to their homes4 ,the morning they started1 the last three of them were received into the church by baptism4 ,we feel hopeful for all1 believing in the sincerity of their purpose1 as shown in their lives1 to 8walk the good road by the help of ,jesus40 ,every boy and young man took with him from #ae to #be worth of tools of his trade1 which he had earned here by his own labor4 ,the girls had corresponding working implements4 ,provision has been made ahead for their regular employment as soon as they get to their homes1 and ,gen4 ,armstrong goes with them there1 with two ladies to take care of the girls1 to get them settled1 to visit their agencies1 and see their parents4 ,he is expected back by the #aeth1 and has ,government authority to bring back #db new students1 including both sexes1 #be boys and #ag girls4 ,forty ,indian students are still in the school1 and looking forward with interest to having some new comrades to initiate into the mysteries of civilization they have themselves so lately acquired4 ,they are about half of them ,arizonas1 some of them ,apaches1 bright1 docile and earnest4 ,we only wish that those of their tribe now on the war-path could join them here4 ,after what experience we have had1 we should not be afraid to try them4 ,it has led us to the conclusion that the ,indian is a human being1 and susceptible of development in the right direction1 as well as 8our brother in black0 or in white4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,beach ,,institute4 ,,prof4 ,h4 ,h4 ,,wright1 ,,savannah1 ,,ga4 ,the fall term of ,beach ,institute has opened with a marked improvement over the opening of a year ago4 ,the pupils of the previous year have returned with an earnestness for work1 and their deportment has been marked with a degree of quiet and manliness which is very gratifying to their teachers4 ,the new pupils who have entered have fallen in with the current without creating the least disturbance4 ,the opening weeks of #ahhj were marred by continual quarreling and even fighting upon the play-ground4 ,this year there has been none4 ,quite a number of the advanced pupils were hopefully converted during the summer1 and are showing the fruits of the ,spirit in their lives in school4 ,we have great hopes of a continued outpouring of the ,spirit upon the school4 ,during the recent cyclone the school-house remained comparatively uninjured1 but the 8,home0 was rendered roofless and floods of water poured through the building4 ,the colored people in this vicinity suffered extremely4 ,hundreds who lived on the low islands or rice islands1 which are scarce ever covered with tidal waters1 were overwhelmed1 their houses destroyed and large numbers drowned4 ,even yet1 a month since the storm1 bodies of the dead negroes are being found in out-of-the-way places4 ,a planter told me today of two such found a few days ago by his reapers in the middle of his rice fields4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,atlanta ,,university4 ,,rev4 ,c4 ,w4 ,,francis1 ,,atlanta1 ,,ga4 ,we find on this second day of our school session a fair attendance and good prospects for a prosperous year4 ,the number registered thus far is #abe1 of whom #hb are boarders1 the number a little larger than that of last year at the opening4 ,the proportion of new pupils is also a little larger1 and in most cases they come under the care and persuasion of older pupils who have been teaching them during the vacation weeks4 ,this mode of recruiting has always been effective1 and as our accommodations have been used to their utmost capacity every season1 we have never ventured to employ any other means to secure attendance lest we be overwhelmed4 ,a most hopeful feature in the case of the incoming students is the large preponderance of girls who come without any special solicitation1 which indicates a greatly improved sentiment in regard to their education and position in the community1 and gives it abundant material for the most effective work in behalf of the elevation of the people4 ,there has been little opportunity thus far to learn save from letters as to the character of the missionary work done by the pupils during their vacation1 but we have good reason to know that it has been more abundant and effective than in any season before4 ,a larger share of the pupils went out as followers of ,christ than heretofore1 and a larger supply of temperance literature was put into their hands1 and the sentiment of the people toward them and their work is increasingly favorable4 ,it seems probable that the appeals for assistance on the part of worthy pupils will be greater than usual on account of the smaller returns their best endeavors to help themselves have secured4 ,a severe and protracted drought has affected all this region1 so that the cotton crop was small and required early attention1 and pupils were taken out of school and attendance and pay were rendered small4 ,we meet under the shadow of sorrow1 having lost five students by death during the vacation1 one of them a beloved member of the senior class4 ,we hope that the tender and thoughtful feeling which manifestly prevails thus far may lead ere long to great and blessed results4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,lewis ,,high ,,school4 ,,rev4 ,s4 ,e4 ,,lathrop1 ,,macon1 ,,ga4 ,our school opened on the #c;d of ,october with #fd scholars present4 ,this number was increased to nearly #ij during the first week1 and there will be constant additions until ,christmas4 ,many of the poorest pupils are busily picking cotton1 to earn something for school expenses1 and will arrive within a month4 ,ten or twelve of the older scholars of last year have now gone to ,atlanta ,university1 so that there are not yet as many grown pupils as there will be after cotton picking is over4 ,among the new students is a young ,methodist preacher1 in charge of a circuit in an adjoining county4 ,he seems quite in earnest to learn4 ,another of our excellent young men was converted while teaching during the summer1 and has done good work in ,sunday-school1 temperance and revival meetings4 ,another taught school in the same county1 and both labored earnestly in the temperance cause4 ,a bill was passed by the legislature this summer1 allowing the people of that county to vote on the question of prohibiting the sale of liquor within their own limits4 ,these two young teachers1 aided by another former pupil teaching in an adjoining county1 who has considerable talent for public speaking1 worked hard for prohibition4 ,the result is seen in the news that comes this morning1 that prohibition carried the day by a majority of nineteen votes4 ,several new scholars have come into our school1 and a larger number will yet come through the efforts of these young teachers4 ,the attendance at opening is larger than for several preceding years1 and indications point toward a steady increase4 ,atlanta ,university being within one hundred miles1 draws off many of the older students1 but what is our loss is their gain4 ,the dark and ignorant communities of our common-wealth are being enlightened slowly but surely1 by the earnest young teachers from this and other schools1 and their influence is not small on the side of morality1 religion and progress4 ,the school opens more favorably than for several years before1 with an increase in the corps of teachers1 and general prospects for extended usefulness4 ,there is a growing number of those who desire advanced education1 whose purpose it is to fit themselves to enter some of the higher institutions4 ,their greatest hindrance is their poverty2 but the pay for school teaching is improving somewhat1 although most have to wait six or eight months before receiving what they earn4 ,there is1 however1 general progress in most localities1 and we are glad to believe that the ,lewis ,high ,school is doing its share1 reaching out to uplift this whole region of country4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,burrell ,,school4 ,,mr4 ,e4 ,c4 ,,silsby1 ,,selma1 ,,ala4 ,we had feared that the effect of a prolonged season of drought1 occasioning small crops and high prices1 would be to lessen the attendance considerably4 ,in this1 however1 an agreeable disappointment was in store1 as the number present upon the opening day was four larger than the preceding year1 and nearly twice that for #ahgi4 ,we opened with an attendance of #aec1 #ai of which number are members of the advanced grammar and high school departments4 ,a number of last year's advanced pupils have indicated their intention to re-enter shortly4 ,as yet1 last year's scholars who have been employed in teaching have not returned4 ,from a number of these we have received word with reference to their work1 and learned of their expectations to be with us again4 ,one young man wrote of establishing a temperance society1 and laboring in a revival in the local church4 ,he had a good ,sunday-school which he had supplied with 8,quarterlies0 containing notes on the lessons1 and he seemed to be accomplishing much good4 ,his location is one where for many years he has taught school4 ,he writes that he expects to return to ,burrell4 ,another young man1 who says that he will re-enter1 was last year in school here for the first time1 and was brought through the agency of the former4 ,he has written intelligently of his ,sunday-school1 and has also sent on funds to me to be expended in papers4 ,twin brothers from a town in an adjoining county1 and last year's pupils1 were converted at a special revival season in the ,congregational church here during the winter4 ,to one of the teachers1 one brother wrote that he was 8doing the best he could teaching in the ,sunday-school40 ,the other said that 8the people out there did not know much about managing a ,sunday-school properly1 but he was working in it1 and lent his 8,quarterly0 around among others1 showing them how to study their lessons from it40 ,these brothers are about #ae years old4 ,we learn of the expected return of a pupil of '#gi who has been laboring very acceptably for some time in ,louisiana in ,sunday-school1 church and temperance work4 ,he brings a recruit for ,burrell also4 ,another last year's pupil of ours1 from the ,high school grade1 leaves the scholar's seat to occupy a position behind the teacher's desk1 in the building where for years she has been a studious learner4 ,she is a teacher in the ,a4 ,m4 ,e4 ,sunday-school of this place1 and a member of the choir4 ,two other young ladies1 former classmates of hers in ,burrell1 are1 for the second year1 teaching with us also4 ,the nature of our school being1 as it is1 a city school1 we have not tried to crowd our work upon the attention of non-residents4 ,we have had1 however1 pupils from the country and adjoining counties1 every year for some time1 with rare exceptions4 ,new pupils from elsewhere1 brought through the agency of others1 have been referred to above4 ,a very promising young man entered this year from a county adjoining this one on the east1 who had heard of the school from former pupils4 ,three persons from a northern county are1 ,i am informed1 to come in company with a last year's pupil4 ,the condition of the cotton crop is such1 that some are probably remaining away to assist in gathering and storing the same4 ,this is often the case with country scholars4 ,the second day of the present session1 one came to us as a pupil who has sat in the legislative hall of this ,state as one of our county's representatives4 ,he has been a teacher since then1 and realizing his deficiency1 comes to learn along with children4 ,we think he shows a commendable spirit1 and judging from his persistency1 predict his success4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,tougaloo1 ,,miss4 ,,miss ,k4 ,k4 ,,koons4 ,the year opens full of promise to us4 ,the school is not only much larger than at the same time last year1 but larger than at the same time in any previous year except the first few1 before the zeal of this people on the subject of education had had time to abate4 ,though ,strieby ,hall is not yet finished1 the lower floor1 chapel and recitation rooms lack but the finishing touches and furniture1 the first of which it is rapidly receiving1 the last of which we look for daily4 ,we held our opening exercises in the chapel1 fitted up with temporary seats4 ,our overcrowded ,girl's ,hall and dining-room of last year prepared us thoroughly to enjoy the room which the enlargement to the building affords4 ,though neither building is completed1 the work is being rapidly pushed forward4 ,a number of our students1 who came expecting to enter school at once1 were glad of the opportunity to help themselves1 and are putting in a month of work upon the buildings before entering1 thus somewhat lessening the number enrolled at the opening4 ,reports of the summer's work given by our student teachers at our weekly prayer meeting were very encouraging indeed4 ,it has been an unusually hard summer for many of them4 ,delay in finding vacant schools1 the failure of people to keep engagements made with teachers1 and hard fare1 were very common4 ,but though these things came to us in our letters from them during the summer1 they were scarcely referred to in their reports4 ,interest in their work and the people with whom they labored entirely overshadowed the hardships4 ,the disposition to take a cheerful view of things1 and cheerfully and earnestly to meet and work against difficulties and discouragements1 is becoming more manifest4 ,perhaps this is one of the good results to be wrought in them by the sacrifice and self-denial so bravely made after the burning of our chapel last spring4 ,the interest in the ,sabbath-school work is greater4 ,fewer signers to the pledge are reported than in previous years4 ,the temperance work is the 8pons asinorum0 of our young people4 ,and well may it be1 in view of the almost universal habit of drinking and using snuff and tobacco4 ,in this work they do grow greatly 8disencouraged40 ,but the number of signers to the pledge is1 after all1 no criterion by which to measure the quiet work done in the line of temperance4 ,the number enrolled at the opening last year was #df1 this year #gd4 ,the number of day scholars taught by our twenty student teachers was #a1eci2 ,sabbath-school scholars1 #gie2 signers to pledge1 #afj2 conversions1 #cb4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,fisk ,,university1 ,,nashville1 ,,tenn4 ,,by ,,rev4 ,h4 ,s4 ,,bennett4 ,fisk ,university has opened this year with unusual prosperity4 ,there are at this early date in the year #bhe pupils in the entire school4 ,there are in ,jubilee ,hall #aba boarders1 which is within #cj as many as have ever boarded in the hall4 ,judging from applications which have been made1 there will be by the middle of ,january next #ge more4 ,last night1 at the faculty meeting1 the question was earnestly discussed1 8,what shall we do with those who apply1 when the hall is full80 as it is likely to be within a very few weeks4 ,it is felt by all of the faculty that if the crops had not been cut short by the drought we should have had a rush of students altogether unprecedented in the history of the ,university4 ,it is felt by those who have known the students for a number of years that those of this year are a superior class4 ,the quality of the students improves with every year1 showing that others are at work elsewhere4 ,we have received already this year several students of advanced grade1 who have come prepared to enter the college classes4 ,at this time we are negotiating with one who desires to enter the senior college class and graduate next commencement4 ,we expect him in a few days4 ,the past years of schooling are beginning to tell upon the higher training of the colored youth1 and those who come to ,fisk for the first time take much higher grades than new students were wont to do a few years ago4 ,most of the old students have been engaged in teaching during the summer vacation4 ,it is estimated that of #he in the collegiate department1 #fj or #fe taught school during the summer4 ,wherever these teachers go1 they secure a good name for industry1 conscientiousness1 ability and energy4 ,we are constantly getting good words from white people1 directors1 superintendents and private citizens in regard to the faithfulness and acceptance with which our students discharge their duties4 ,almost all those who teach are ,christians and engage in ,christian work1 as a matter of course1 when they begin their day schools4 ,as a general thing1 they enter at once into the ,sabbath-school if there is one1 and start one if there is not1 and generally get the entire neighborhood enlisted4 ,there are two interesting features in relation to the students1 the like of which we have never had before4 ,during the past few years the trustees of the ,peabody fund have sustained a ,normal school for white pupils4 ,the effort has been made to secure an appropriation from the ,state for this school in the years that are past4 ,at the last session of the ,legislature an appropriation of #aj1jjj was made for ,normal schools1 #b1ejj for the colored children of the ,state1 that being their relative share4 ,the ,board of ,education for the ,state1 to whom the disbursement of this fund was left1 decided that the fund for the colored students should be divided among #ej pupils1 and that they should have the privilege of choosing between five schools to which they should go4 ,each pupil would thus be entitled to #ej1 and each school would receive on an average #aj students4 ,up to the present time ,fisk has received #ah out of the #ej1 and it is well known that many of the ,senators who had the power of appointment had not taken action4 ,we have no doubt that others will come as the year passes by4 ,the other feature is this4 ,several colored men were elected to the last ,legislature1 and as members had the right to appoint cadets to the ,east ,tennessee ,university1 of course they all appointed colored cadets4 ,some other republican members also appointed colored cadets4 ,this threw the trustees of the ,east ,tennessee ,university into great perplexity4 ,it is against the law of the ,state to educate white and colored pupils in the same institution3 it is also very much against the traditional prejudices not only of the trustees of the ,university1 but also of the people of the ,state4 ,the trustees met1 and after a thorough discussion determined to make arrangements with ,fisk ,university if possible1 to take their colored cadets at #cj apiece4 ,fisk ,university was not averse to the arrangement1 and so the question was settled4 ,we have now in the ,university seven cadets1 students of the ,east ,tennessee ,university4 ,it is accepted by all here as an important truth1 that the longer we can keep a student the better it will be for him and the institution and the work4 ,the students in the collegiate department give tone to the whole institution4 ,every department is lifted to a higher standard by the high standard of the college department4 ,as the college graduates go out into the world1 they have1 without an exception1 taken advanced positions as teachers or other professional men4 ,livingstone ,hall is now having its roof put on1 and all are watching its progress with the greatest interest1 as promising a time when the facilities of the institution will be almost doubled4 ,what we shall next need will be an ample endowment4 ,who will provide this for us8 99 99 99 99 99

calm1 serene1 happy4 ,his piety seemed like the flow of some sweet1 peaceful river4 ,the same traits of character he carried into the ministry4 ,as a preacher1 he was ,scriptural1 earnest and impressive4 ,he was true and faithful to his trust1 no flatterer1 but outspoken4 ,as a pastor1 he endeared himself to all by his gentle manner and lively sympathy4 ,he labored very successfully for a few years in the service of the ,american ,missionary ,association4 ,in lowliness and self-abnegation he toiled faithfully1 earnestly1 for souls wherever the ,master placed him1 and his memory will not soon be forgotten by his intimate friends1 and especially by those who were hopefully saved through his instrumentality4 ,he bore his sickness with a sweet1 ,christian patience1 his greatest trial being that he was deprived of working in the service of ,him whom he loved4 ,through a long and tedious decline1 covering nearly two years of painful struggle for life1 he found the ,god he served able to comfort and sustain him and give him at last the victory4 ,he leaves a fond wife and son1 who have met with a loss that cannot be measured1 and who share the sympathies of a multitude of

,american ,missionary ,association1 which has commissioned you to explore the basin of the ,upper ,nile in ,africa1 with reference to the locating and the working of the ,arthington ,mission1 would give you these few words of ,god-speed and of instruction4 ,we furnish you a letter from the ,u4,s4 ,secretary of ,state1 which in response to a request from this office1 assures you that upon arriving at ,cairo1 you will find the ,u4,s4 ,consul ,general stationed there1 ,mr4 ,simon ,wolf1 instructed to facilitate the labors of your expedition and to protect your rights as ,american citizens in such ways as are consistent with his duties and with due regard to local laws4 ,with his assistance and your ,english endorsement you will seek from the ,khedive of ,egypt the essential protection of his authority4 ,it is our impression that near the mouth of the ,sobat1 where the ,nile comes in from its great western bend1 within the ,arthington district1 and perhaps upon the very spot where ,sir ,samuel ,baker had his camp1 you will locate the headquarters of the mission1 whose stations in time will be extended into the country beyond2 but we leave this matter of location to your discretion4 ,in determining it you will consider the navigability of the river1 the elevation and healthfulness of the site1 and the friendliness and condition of the people4 ,you will negotiate with the heads of the people1 among whom you locate1 for the use of land needed by the mission4 ,you will investigate the feasibility of our owning and running a small steamer between ,berber and ,sobat4 ,upon all these matters you will report as frequently as possible to this office4 ,a journal1 kept and furnished us1 such as that reported by ,sup't ,ladd1 in regard to the visit to the ,mendi ,mission1 will be greatly helpful4 ,returning1 ,dr4 ,snow will stop in ,england to superintend the construction of a steamer for the ,nile service1 provided your reports shall warrant the ,committee in ordering such an expenditure1 and ,sup't ,ladd will come back to this country to report in person and to secure colored missionaries to go back with you in the early autumn of #ahhb4 ,if the way shall not appear closed up1 the plan for the second expedition will be that1 with your recruits1 you take along your steamer as freight to ,berber1 where you will put it together and launch it to carry your party and materials for building and for subsistence to the chosen site1 upon which you will set up the house of the mission4 ,while the ,superintendent1 like the ,apostle ,paul1 will have his 8beloved physician0 to travel with him as associate missionary1 in our prayerful solicitude for your health and safety1 we wish to enjoin upon you the utmost diligence in seeking to preserve yourselves from sickness1 and in keeping yourselves in that enervating climate from overstrain in travel and work4 ,we bless ,god that he has given you a heart to assume this great undertaking in the name of ,his dear ,son4 ,we commend you now to the ,divine care1 and shall ever pray that you may be preserved in health and in life1 and prospered in your mission1 until you shall see that heathen

flock that followed their white teacher to some tumble-down buildings in ,atlanta1 ,ga4 ,there is a kind of wild delight about the memory of those days1 8just after freedom10 when the 8old uncles and aunties0 as well as the boys and girls endured heat and cold1 hunger and rags1 inspired by the blissful idea of getting 8larnin'0 about as they had gotten freedom1 8kind o' sudden like40 ,when they found their mistake1 of course thousands dropped out by the way1 but ,thomas ,chatham was not one of them4 ,when we went ,south in #ahfi1 he had gotten quite a start4 ,i first saw him in the ,congregational ,sunday-school at ,storrs ,chapel1 and noticed that whenever the ,superintendent asked a question that nobody else could answer1 a queer-looking fellow with a very thick tongue usually answered it4 ,in two or three years he was admitted to the preparatory department of ,atlanta ,university4 ,but how the boys did laugh at him6 ,how shocking6 some tender-hearted child says4 ,so it is4 ,many a time my heart has ached for poor ,chatham4 ,but you must remember that colored children are no better than white ones1 and ,i am sure you have seen some poor awkward white boy laughed at till perhaps your kind eyes filled with tears4 ,then ,i suppose ,i don't see the funny side of comical sights so quickly as some1 and ,thomas ,chatham did look queer4 ,although he is quite short1 he has very large feet and broad shoulders1 with a big head set nearly flat upon the latter4 ,then he was very poor1 and did not know how to make the best of the poor clothes he had4 ,his shoes were run down at the heel1 so that when he walked he shuffled along1 lest1 ,i suppose1 his shoes should fall off4 ,he learned with great difficulty and made very droll blunders1 but he never lost his temper or got out of patience4 ,at the beginning of each year a new set of thoughtless scholars would make fun of his looks and his blunders1 till his calm dignity told louder than words that he lived in an atmosphere far above that level where the taunts or esteem of his fellows had much weight4 ,his home was two or three miles from school1 yet he trudged on year after year1 often drenched with rain and chilled into ague1 hoping that some time he would know enough to serve his people as a teacher in a country school4 ,several of his teachers advised him to learn a trade1 judging that from all human appearances he could never teach or control a school4 ,others who knew more of his ,bible knowledge and sublime faith thought that1 perhaps1 ,god could find a place for him somewhere2 and ,he has4 ,every summer vacation now he goes out into some obscure corner to teach1 and reports come back to us that our best students are not so successful as he in leading their pupils to that beginning of all wisdom1 the fear of the ,lord4 ,chatham's success is to me a living sermon from the text1 8,not by might nor by power1 but by my ,spirit1 saith the ,lord40 ,and why that ,spirit helps him seems to be because he is willing to do anything1 to go anywhere1 to be only a sower1 and let another be the reaper2 in short1 while he is weak1 yet is he strong1 because of that most beautiful of all graces1 humility4 ,how slow ,i have been learning the hard lesson1 that ,god passes by the learned1 the brilliant and the talented until they are thoroughly humbled1 and1 to our surprise1 honors some lowly one who is willing to give ,god the glory and not beg back any share of it4 8,for thus saith the ,high and lofty ,one that inhabiteth eternity1 whose name is ,holy1 ,i dwell in the high and holy place with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit40 99 99 99 99 99 ,,letters ,,to ,,the ,,treasurer4 ,the pastor of the church at ,rehoboth1 ,mass41 writes as follows3 8,the enclosed five dollars

of ,mr4 ,haley as an illustration not only of the excellent character of the man1 but also as a testimonial to the conscientious act of his widow1 who is a worthy ,baptist lady1 in bestowing in honor of his memory this amount to promote educational work under the auspices of our ,association1 which was dear to him4 ,samuel ,gordon ,haley1 son of ,dea4 ,thos4 ,haley and ,eliza ,whicher1 was born in ,charlestown1 ,mass41 ,may #g1 #ahcb4 ,he died in ,oshtemo1 ,mich41 ,january #ad1 #ahha4 ,at the time of his birth his parents were not ,christians1 but they so earnestly desired that ,samuel1 their first-born1 should have eternal life that they prayed that ,god would early bring him into ,his kingdom4 ,mr4 ,haley was well known as a successful educator and genealogist2 he was also deeply interested in historical research4 ,in #ahcf his father moved to ,east ,andover1 ,new ,hampshire4 ,there in the picturesque ,switzerland of ,america1 with its skies filled with light1 its green plains and valleys1 its bold and its undulating hills1 its grand old pines and their dark mossy retreats1 its bald-headed ,kearsarge in the near distance1 in full view of a quiet ,n4,e4 village1 with its church spires and school-houses1 nestling close at the side of ,highland ,lake1 childhood merged into boyhood1 and boyhood into early manhood4 ,we may well suppose that such scenes would awaken the imagination of a mind formed by nature to appreciate and sympathize with the truly grand and sublime in the external world1 and would help to impart to that mind a loftiness of purpose and purity of thought not otherwise1 perhaps1 attained4 ,and now1 amid those scenes so loved in childhood and admired in maturity1 near the revered one who bore him1 lies his noble form awaiting the resurrection morn4 ,his paternal home was one of singular good sense and piety2 it was sincere1 unworldly1 unartificial4 ,tender deference was taught toward the aged1 and thoughtful regard toward childhood1 the unfortunate1 the afflicted4 ,he loved to dwell on the tender recollections1 kindred ties1 early affections and hallowed associations connected with his home2 he eagerly sought every historical incident of his family2 and to his father1 the aged sire1 who still lives to bless1 was he indebted for many incidents relating to his predecessors4 ,mr4 ,haley graduated from ,meriden ,academy1 ,meriden1 ,new ,hampshire1 in #ahef4 ,he graduated from ,dartmouth ,college1 ,hanover1 ,n4,h41 in #ahfj4 ,having chosen teaching as a profession1 he at once entered upon that work1 and for ten years his labors were in academies and high schools in ,n4,h4 ,during the war he spent his summer vacations in ,washington1 ,d4,c41 and vicinity1 in the benevolent work of the ,u4,s4 ,christian ,commission4 ,and as we turn the pages of his private writings1 and learn of the spirit which actuated him during those dark1 bloody hours of our nation's history1 we find renewed proofs of the true greatness of his soul4 ,in #ahgj he found work in the public schools in ,illinois1 where he labored till a short time before his death4 ,as a teacher1 his life was one of untold usefulness4 ,the moral and religious development of his pupils was of first importance4 ,he regarded our schools as a place1 not so much of learning1 as of preparation for learning2 a course of discipline to draw out and sharpen faculties2 a means to bring the student up to manhood with ability to perform thenceforth the hard work of a man in his allotted sphere4 ,to that end no part of fundamental study could be spared4 ,a thorough1 exact scholar himself1 he was satisfied with nothing less than thoroughness and exactness in those whom he taught4 ,patient1 forbearing1 forgiving1 he held a high place in the hearts of his pupils1 and with all his gentleness of spirit he ever maintained a purity of discipline4 ,mr4 ,haley first made a public profession of religion and united with the ,congregational church while at ,meriden ,academy4 ,but so true and pure had been his life that little change could be seen in him after this profession4 ,he subsequently became a member at ,hopkinton1 ,n4,h41 then at ,dover1 ,n4,h4 ,he united with the church at ,providence1 ,ill41 in #ahgb1 and was a member of that church at the time of his death4 ,as a ,christian1 he was undemonstrative1 but he was faithfulness itself4 ,in all his relations of life did he sow the seeds of love to his ,master4 ,he was unsuspicious1 resented no evil1 indulged in no gossip1 perpetrated no slander1 exaggerated not his statements1 never wore two faces1 nor spoke with two tongues4 ,he was guileless4 ,a sectarian1 a partisan1 a demagogue1 a sycophant1 a hypocrite1 he abhorred4 ,he would do nothing with them but in matters of necessary business4 ,his finer sentiments were not projected4 ,he restrained them through natural diffidence1 but when reached they were responsive1 pure1 refreshing1 tempered with ,christian meekness and sobriety4 ,as he approached the realities of that world for which he had lived1 he seemed to enter into them as much as man ever can until he has passed within its portals4 ,his spirit gave utterance to expressions which indicated how bright was the source from which had sprung the power and preciousness of his life4 ,those who mourn his loss have consolation1 not only in the remembrance of those sterling virtues which gave him professional dignity and power1 but in that great1 tender and noble nature which made those virtues subservient to the familiar every-day enjoyments in a ,christian life4 ,they will love to keep in memory his play equally with his work2 his genial1 frank and sometimes sportive intercourse not less than his graver counsels which instructed them4 ,the whole example and image which ever lives in their hearts1 of sanctified intellect1 sentiment and affection1 constituting his well adjusted and honorable manhood1 will be their best earthly incentive to imitate his virtues and partake of his reward4 ,,mrs4 ,,annie ,m4 ,,haley4 ,buda1 ,ill41 ,august #be1 #ahha4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,receipts ,,for ,,september1 #ahha4 99 99 99 99
