,we have reached the half-way turning point of our fiscal year4 ,with ,march the first six months of our year ended4 ,our mission stations are all manned4 ,churches and schools1 with all their multitudinous outshoots of work1 are taxing the energies1 abilities and devotion of our workers4 ,never in the history of this ,association was the work more manifestly blessed of ,god1 or more imperative in its calls for vigorous prosecution4 ,our schools are crowded4 ,multitudes of students are turned away because there is no room to receive them4 ,the calls pour in upon us from every quarter for more dormitories and recitation buildings--for more help for worthy and needy students1 for more missionaries1 preachers and teachers1 to go into regions most destitute and urgent for relief4 ,whole counties are reported in which there is neither a church nor a school2 whole sections of country in which there are thousands and tens of thousands of people for whose souls no one seems to care4 ,revivals are reported in connection with nearly all our churches1 and the evidence is overwhelming that great harvests are waiting the reaping in almost every direction4 ,what are we to do8 ,what would the churches have us do8 ,we are their servants2 we report to them the outlook2 we send out to them the call2 we impatiently await their authoritative response4 ,that response must be in money4 ,our financial situation is this3 ,at the present writing we have paid out #ad1eee4hd more than we have received the current year4 ,this1 with the debt coming over from last year1 makes us #bj1cci4ee in arrears4 ,it is impossible either to arrest or cut down the work at this point in the year so as to secure relief4 ,but even if we could1 would we be justified in doing it8 ,our total receipts last year were #cce1gjd4bj4 ,our appeal for the current year is #cej1jjj4 ,our total receipts up to ,march #cast were #abg1fje4dg4 ,our readers can very easily figure out for themselves whether any blame can rightfully be charged to those who have the management of the ,association in hand1 and also whether1 in view of the facts1 the thought of curtailment should be cherished for a moment4 ,on the basis of our receipts last year1 we should have received by the end of ,march #afg1heb1 and on the basis of our appeal1 #age1jjj4 ,it will be seen1 therefore1 that in the prosecution of the work we have not exceeded the appeal of this year1 nor even the scale of last year4 ,here1 then1 presses our problem4 ,summer is not a good time for collections4 ,the necessity for special appeals1 such as we have been obliged to make during the past few years towards the end of our fiscal year1 has been as irksome and disagreeable to us as it has been to our friends4 ,it is on this account we now raise the question3 ,cannot an effort be made during the next two months to so increase the contributions to the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 that the summer will find us delivered from possible embarrassment8 ,it will necessitate earnest work on the part of our friends2 but with such an important field urgently calling for the enlargement of missionary work1 with so many evidences of the ,divine approval resting upon it1 and with so much ability in the possession of our friends1 may we not hope that the churches will lay hold of the problem and solve it at once8 99 99 99 99 99 ,,suicide ,,postponed4--,there is an old story with such a good moral that we recall it to the minds of our readers4 ,a man of large wealth1 living in ,paris1 became so tired of a monotonous life that he determined to commit suicide4 ,on his way to the spot decided upon1 it occurred to him that he might as well give away the money that he had with him1 which was quite a large amount4 ,he found so much pleasure in bestowing this upon the poor people whom he met1 that he concluded to postpone the suicide until he had had time to enjoy some more of the same beneficence4 ,it is needless to add that1 instead of disgracing himself by suicide1 he became a public benefactor4 ,,selected4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,righteous ,,indignation4--8,i have just been reading my ,,american ,,missionary for ,april4 ,i am terribly stirred up by it--am under a dreadful temptation to covet money that does not belong to me4 ,i am poor and ,i have to pay for my board and my room1 and cannot get without stealing the wealth that is so foolishly spent by others4 8,the treatment of the ,chinese1 too1 is an abomination4 ,i am naturally high-spirited1 and1 although in my #hc;d year1 do not feel more meek and quiet than in my early years4 ,it cannot be that the blessed ,god whose #8mercy endureth forever' can look with favor upon our nation4 ,alas6 alas6 what can be done80 ,,subscriber4 99 99 99 99 99 ,one of our missionaries writes3 8,a man who has a family of ten children1 and next to no school privileges1 came fifteen miles with a daughter of sixteen years to see me about getting three children into school4 ,a good man1 and deeply interested to educate his family4 ,but ,i had to turn him away for lack of room4 ,such instances are constantly occurring4 ,the only way the young people on these mountains who live remote from school can be educated is to hire rooms and board themselves40 ,there is a plea in these words for the erection of dormitories to accommodate needy and worthy students4 ,such dormitories would not cost much1 perhaps not over #ejj each4 ,but the current funds must be used for our current work4 ,gladly would we tell our missionary to put up a few dormitories and let these pleading ones be cared for4 ,but we have no money to appropriate4 ,can any of the readers of the ,,missionary help us out8 ,only we must raise the caution1 that the help given at this point should not be allowed to interfere with gifts to our general work4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,secretary ,,beard has taken hold of the ,southern ,department of our work with a great deal of earnestness4 ,he has just returned from a somewhat extended apostolic visitation of our churches and schools4 ,many of our readers will remember ,dr4 ,beard's enthusiasm and zeal for ,french evangelization1 but he stands ready to confess that the necessities underlying the work of the ,american ,missionary ,association far exceed any that he has ever felt for mission work before4 ,we knew it would be so4 ,it is simply impossible to convey a full idea of the far-reaching needs and to set forth the imperative claims of the great work in which the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 is engaged4 99 99 99 99 99 ,the friends of the ,indians have watched with much solicitude the action of the recent ,congress on the numerous bills before it relating to ,indian affairs4 ,it is a matter of great rejoicing that the most important of these1 the ,general ,allotment ,act1 has passed4 ,this allows the ,indians to take their lands individually by allotments and patents1 and makes the allottees citizens of the ,united ,states4 ,this bill is far-reaching1 and covers in a measure the objects aimed at by some of the others which failed4 ,among these last is the ,sioux bill1 which proposes to divide up and dispose of parts of the ,sioux reservation in ,dakota4 ,in another column will be found an excellent article1 by ,rev4 ,a4 ,l4 ,riggs1 showing the loss1 and yet the incidental benefits1 that may arise from the failure of this bill4 ,we will only add1 that some of the provisions of the ,sioux bill can indirectly and after some delay be carried out under the ,general ,allotment ,act4 ,the failure of the ,mission ,indian bill is a source of unrelieved regret and indignation4 ,these ,indians1 whose sad story is told so pathetically in ,helen ,hunt ,jackson's 8,ramona10 are still left unprotected1 and their lands are still exposed to the incursions of unscrupulous white men4 ,it is to be hoped that the nation will demand of the next ,congress that justice shall be done to these ,indians4 99 99 99 99 99 ,lincoln ,memorial ,church1 ,washington1 ,d4,c41 has hitherto carried on its work in the ,lincoln ,mission building4 ,this building is held in trust by the ,lincoln ,industrial ,association to sustain educational1 industrial and religious work4 ,this association was in no way connected with the church2 it had several local enterprises under its auspices in the same building in which the work of the church was carried on4 ,thus the growth and usefulness of the church were greatly hindered1 as it had no control of the building and the various enterprises carried on in it4 ,it was clear that a church representing a higher type and standard of ,christian life and worship than the average church of this community was greatly needed in this growing section of the city4 ,it was also evident that if the ,lincoln ,memorial ,church should supply this demand1 steps should be taken to so adjust the property and renovate the building as to make a permanent church home and to promote the most hopeful growth of the work by putting all the departments of work carried on in the building under the management of the church4 ,secretary ,beard and ,superintendent ,ryder1 of the ,a4 ,m4 ,a41 and the pastor and officers of the ,lincoln ,memorial ,church held a conference1 ,october #bi1 with the ,board of ,directors of the ,lincoln ,industrial ,association to consider the most practical plan of putting the control of the property and all departments of work1 educational1 industrial and religious1 carried on in the building1 under the auspices of the ,lincoln ,memorial ,church4 ,after the subject was fully discussed the following resolution was unanimously adopted by the ,board of ,directors of the ,lincoln ,industrial ,association3 8,resolved1 ,that the ,lincoln ,industrial ,association hereby declares itself in full sympathy with the desire of the ,lincoln ,memorial ,church that the entire property1 together with all the auxiliaries in ,christian and industrial work1 be put under the direction of the ,lincoln ,memorial ,church here organized1 and to that end any additional action necessary will be carried out40 ,when the action of the conference was presented to the church it was voted that the church accept the trust and that steps be taken immediately to repair and improve the church and parsonage and all other parts of the building1 as far as practicable1 so as to make the building more desirable as a place of worship and center of ,christian work1 and a home for the pastor's family4 ,a building committee was appointed and an appeal was made to the public and friends for funds for the immediate repair and improvement of the building4 99 99 99 99 99 8,,the ,,prayers ,,of ,,those ,,who ,,pray40 ,one of the devoted workers of the ,a4 ,m4 ,a41 telling in a simple yet thrilling way of his heroic work in the ,south1 concludes his article 7in ,,the ,,american ,,missionary for ,march7 with a request for the 8prayers of those who pray40 ,what can he mean8 ,does he not1 when struggling to put up a building in the wilderness1 want money more than prayers1 or at least as much8 ,would he not be glad of anyone's sympathy and prayers8 ,very likely2 but yet we see in his request an unconscious recognition of the fact that those who make a business of praying are the ones whose help is worth something2 whose sympathy is palpably felt4 ,those who pray6 ,oh1 what a blessed thing is habit1 when rightly guided4 ,how much pleasanter to make effort1 to do work1 in familiar channels4 ,what added life does it give to our intercourse with the ,father to realize that he is already acquainted with us1 that he has heard us on similar subjects before1 that he knows the general trend of our desires and longings already4 ,when we go before a court of law with our suits we employ an experienced pleader to present our case1 and rightly2 his training1 his habit1 is the lubricating element2 without it progress would be slow1 difficult and tedious4 ,in spiritual matters we cannot do our pleading by proxy2 priests were abolished when ,christ made himself accessible1 through the ,comforter1 to every heart1 and we must now act each for himself2 therefore let us see to it that we do not make this part of life uninteresting1 unfruitful and dreary from sheer stiffness1 inexperience and unfamiliarity4 ,james says 7v4 #af7 8the supplication of a righteous man availeth much in its working40 ,a righteous man is one who is working in lines approved by ,god1 and this necessarily implies that he is in communication with ,god2 therefore the maker of this appeal is right in addressing himself to those who are used to praying2 there is every probability that they will be 8righteous men0 and that their prayers will 8avail much40 ,what sort of a phenomenon is a church member who is not in the habit of praying8 ,even though his subscription to the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 this year be a liberal one1 what certainty is there about his action next year8 ,one who prays for this worker in ,tennessee1 and gives him a dollar1 or a dime1 may be of more real help than a giver of ten dollars who does it merely as a duty1 or to quiet his conscience4 ,the former has enlisted his friendship2 and an accessible friend is better than a brother afar off--even if he be a millionaire1 oftentimes4 ,the prayers of those who pray6 ,ah1 yes1 that is it4 ,love and sympathy are what move the world4 ,if one loves us we need not worry about his material gifts to us4 ,if a child of ,god prays for us he has a real interest in us and will try to give us money 7if we are in need of it72 and the exertions of such are multiplied a hundredfold by ,god's arithmetic4 8,those who pray0 find that ,god doesn't require them to assume the attitude of ,abraham1 8,oh1 let not the ,lord be angry1 and ,i will speak yet but this once40 ,if the loving children of ,god were permitted to only send up one brief prayer and then have to step back1 their interest might die out4 ,no2 the rule is 8pray without ceasing10 8whatsoever ye ask40 ,god can raise up helpers out of the very stones of the ground2 but he is not likely to do it unless he sees that his children desire and need the help and will faithfully use it4 ,let us all pray for the faithful ones who carry our burdens by going into the wilderness to do ,god's work in our stead1 who relieve us of a portion of our duty by doing more than theirs1 and our material aid will certainly be larger and of more value than it could possibly otherwise be4 ,as a man thinketh in his heart1 so is he4 ,our prayers follow our thoughts2 if we think and pray as benevolent persons it is likely that we shall be benevolent4 ,,subscriber4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,an ,,incident4 8,will you come with me1 to-day1 and visit some of my poor people80 said a ,southern lady missionary to me1 on my first visit to the sunny ,south4 ,of course ,i would go4 ,i was anxious to meet with my brethren and sisters whose skin color differed from my own4 ,i longed for acquaintanceship with them1 to see what they had received4 ,we soon reached a conglomeration of cabins that had a ridiculous resemblance to rooks' nests4 ,how does it come that sticks in old age look so much more disreputable than stones8 ,these wooden cabins looked far worse than the stone hovels of ,achil ,island4 ,these lately enfranchised people living here were all renters1 and they paid the utmost possible rent for the poorest possible shelter4 ,the cabins were built in clusters of four1 so that one corner of each rested against a clumsy chimney1 built in the middle in such a manner that each cabin had a corner fire-place4 ,in one of these little tenements1 in an old arm-chair1 cushioned with shreds and patches1 and set close into the chimney corner1 sat a very old colored woman1 with her shaking hands spread out to gather to her the warmth of the fire of fat lightwood splinters that blazed and crackled before her4 ,the damp1 chill wind whistled through every crevice and cranny of the rough1 ill-matched boards of the door and the slight wall4 ,the whole cabin was almost as airy as a corn crib4 ,it was admirably built for ventilation1 and was in the full enjoyment of it4 ,the old woman1 popularly supposed to be over a hundred1 looked around at us1 her face one mesh of wrinkles1 her wool as white as snow1 but she was wonderfully bright and cheery4 ,she was a great sufferer from asthma and rheumatism1 could not lie down in bed at all1 but was confined to her chair night and day4 ,she was one of those of whom ,i had been told as having a near acquaintance with her ,lord as with a personal friend4 8,how are you to-day1 ,aunt ,july80 said my friend4 8,howdy'1 howdy'8 ,i'se well1 an' glad to see you1 honey2 bress de ,lawd40 8,i've brought a

but it wasn't to come in dat ar box1 sure enuff1 honey40 8,i did wish and pray for a warm woolen shawl to wrap around you at night when the fire goes down10 said the missionary lady1 kindly4 8,you see10 turning to me1 8the nights are quite cold this time of the year1 and see how open the cabin is4 ,if she could only lie down in bed and cover up warm1 but she cannot1 and she must suffer dreadfully when the fire goes out4 ,i do wish so much that she had a shawl40 8,well1 honey1 you is kind to ole ,aunty1 an' ,i'se thankful2 but we wasn't 'greed 'bout dat ar'1 honey4 ,you ask de ,lawd for a shawl1 an' ,i ask for sumpin' warm1 wid sleeves in it1 so's not to slip off in de night when ,i falls asleep an' de fiah done gone out40 8,you see1 ,i'se real glad when de sleep comes10 she

ask de bressed ,lawd to sen' me sumpin' with sleeves1 so's it would keep on when ,i'se sleepin'40 ,then ,i suddenly remembered a long wrap of ,canadian factory material that had been with me in many a mountain ramble over the water4 ,i had put it in my trunk without any very definite reason for doing so1 against all the good natured ridicule showered upon me by friends4 ,i had not used it1 seemed to have no use for it1 until this need flashed upon me4 ,before many minutes it was fished out of the bottom of my trunk1 brought there and fitted on the aged sister4 ,it was warm1 it had sleeves1 and when it was buttoned on1 it reached to the ground4 8,it's just like my bressed ,master1 dat is10 said old ,aunty1 her sunken eyes shining with gladness4 8,i ask fer sumpin' warm1 with sleeves1 an' he

old and poor1 asthmatic and rheumatic1 helpless and dependent1 and her thankfulness shamed me4 ,in putting on the wrap1 my friend pointed out the scars of ancient floggings ridged and furrowed in the dark skin4 ,the ploughers had ploughed on her back1 and made long their furrows4 ,she was one of ,his4 ,was this in any way being in fellowship with ,his sufferings8 ,she was old1 very old1 ten years past the allotted period of three score and ten1 she believed1 when the tramp of armies heralded freedom for her in the sunset and twilight of her life4 8,i'se sitting in my cheer1 such a cumf'able cheer1 an' my heart is singing all de time1 because my bressed ,lawd 'members me an' loves me1 an' answers all my pra'rs40 ,my heart did not sing all the time4 ,i had questionings1 and even murmurings4 ,i looked around the cabin2 there was no comfort or possibility of comfort to be seen4 ,abject1 helpless poverty was the sum total of all her surroundings4 ,she was dependent on what could be spared from the scant wages of her son1 a ,southern day laborer with a large young family4 ,living thus on the perilous edge of want1 and her heart singing all the time with thankfulness6 ,to think of it6 8,what do you feel thankful for80 ,i asked4 ,the words leapt out before ,i was aware4 8,thankful1 chile6 ,i'se thankful for all my marcies1 for all de goodness from my bressed ,master that come

,,by ,,field-,,superintendent ,c4 ,j4 ,,ryder4 ,le ,moyne ,institute1 at ,memphis1 ,tenn41 like almost all of the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 schools this year1 is full to overflowing4 ,a large number of pupils have been turned away for the want of accommodations4 ,the ,industrial department of ,le ,moyne ,institute is receiving constant additions4 ,a printing outfit has recently been procured1 and the students are busy over 8fonts0 and 8pi10 though no printer's devil has as yet appeared4 ,the scholars have done some good job work already and are thus turning their industrial training into immediate practical benefit4 ,the other departments of the ,institute are keeping step with its industrial development4 ,le ,moyne is broadening its influence constantly and sending its roots deeper and deeper into the intellectual and religious soil of ,memphis4 ,it is recognized as one of the most beneficial institutions in the city by the citizens of all shades of political opinion4 ,the ,congregational ,church stands immediately opposite the ,institute1 and students are especially welcomed into its services and membership4 ,if ,new ,england ,pilgrimism of early days is reproduced anywhere it certainly is in the work of the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 ,the ,church and the ,school are the joint and inseparable agencies for the building of character4 99 99 99 99 99 ,a trip down the ,mississippi ,valley is a revelation to one who has never passed over this route4 ,this valley is the garden region of the old ,south1 that is1 those ,states east of the ,mississippi4 ,it is asserted1 and truthfully1 ,i think1 that two and one-half bales of cotton are sometimes raised for every man1 woman and child of the population of this valley4 ,the land is a deep alluvial loam and produces crops of great variety4 ,cotton1 corn1 potatoes 7sweet and ,irish71 wheat1 oats1 and sugar cane are some among the many products that grow luxuriously here4 ,this region has been avoided by settlers in the past1 because of its unhealthfulness4 ,in the old slave days1 planters lived in the highlands1 back from the river1 and worked their plantations by slave labor4 ,the death of a slave was only unfortunate because of just so much lost live stock4 ,god equalizes things in a strange way4 ,now1 these very people who occupied these lands and tilled them for others are acclimated and can live here and gather the enormous wealth of this wonderful valley4 ,the railroad company has offered unusual inducements to settlers of small capital to take lands here4 ,five thousand colored people have poured into this great garden spot during the past eighteen months and others are constantly coming4 ,what an opportunity for ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 work6 ,pleading invitations come to me from many places along the line of this valley1 begging me to come and see their needs4 ,churches and schools and missions are demanded all through this region immediately4 ,tougaloo ,university was never so well fitted as to-day to meet the needs of these people4 ,its two new ,ballard buildings greatly increase its accommodations and facilities4 ,but other schools1 less advanced and comprehensive1 are needed1 which shall meet the immediate wants of these new communities1 and also be feeders to ,tougaloo4 99 99 99 99 99 ,at one place a considerable colony has settled under the leadership of a former student of ,fisk

only the treasury warranted the outlay8 ,at ,greenville1 in the heart of this fertile valley1 a small ,congregational ,church1 planted and nurtured by the ,a4 ,m4 ,a41 is holding up the standard of intelligent preaching and decent forms of public worship4 ,the ,church has no meeting-house1 but holds its services in a school building1 the property of a colored citizen1 who is the editor of the ,greenville ,herald1 a sprightly local paper4 99 99 99 99 99 ,the ,mississippi ,river is making fearful havoc along its banks4 ,at ,greenville1 fifty feet of ground fell away in a single day4 ,brick buildings are being torn down and frame buildings hurried back on rollers to save them from the mad waters of the mighty river4 ,where the streets of the village were1 a few months ago1 now the river runs more than a hundred feet deep4 ,this is a boom in real estate not thoroughly enjoyed by the citizens4 ,it is attributed to the failure of the ,river and ,harbor bills1 and the citizens are very indignant4 ,i am happy to state that our pastor's home and the proposed site of the new ,congregational ,church are far back from the river1 and no one need withhold his increased contribution to ,a4 ,m4 ,a41 on account of this needy field1 for fear the real estate will wash away4 99 99 99 99 99 ,at ,vicksburg ,i found quite a number of ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 graduates4 ,one hangs out the shingle of an attorney and is doing 8tolerably well1 thank you40 ,two are teachers2 one of these1 a graduate of ,straight ,university1 ,n4 ,o41 has done splendid service for his people and won honor for himself4 ,he is ,superintendent of the city colored schools1 having ten teachers under his direction4 ,he has saved his money and now owns two comfortable cottages and is out of debt2 not a bad showing for a young man only a few years out of college4 99 99 99 99 99 ,louisiana is reaping the harvest of her former seed sowing4 ,arozelles ,parish is agitated over the outrages recently perpetrated against the ,hebrews4 ,witkowsky1 it will be remembered1 was driven from his home in this parish last fall4 ,now these outrages are being repeated against others of that same race4 ,i quote from a local paper3 8,the anti-semitics rode up to the ,kahn store and riddled it and the surrounding fence with bullets4 ,next day ,kahn and ,bauer were served with notices calling attention to what the mob had done1 and warning them to leave the parish at once if they wished to save their lives40 ,the ,governor of ,louisiana is exhorted to stop these outrages4 ,why8 ,it is only a continuance of the policy of violence and murder that has so often brought disgrace upon this and other ,southern ,states4 ,it matters little whether the victims of these brutal outrages are ,negroes or ,hebrews4 ,anyone who chances to be obnoxious to the ,lords of the ,land may meet the same cruel treatment4 ,but better and brighter days are slowly coming1 when all classes can demand and shall receive the impartial protection of the laws4 ,perhaps this new violence to the ,hebrews may arouse the public conscience4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,revivals4 ,,straight ,,university4 ,those acquainted with the history of this institution affirm that it has never before been visited by just such a work of grace as is now gladdening many hearts4 ,the year1 unlike some that have preceded it1 has been free from serious and protracted interruptions4 ,neither ,expositions nor epidemics have made great breaches in the classes or diverted attention from matters of first importance4 ,though our classes have been unusually crowded1 the amount of faithful scholarly work accomplished has been greatly above that of ordinary years4 ,there has been a quiet1 intense determination on the part of pupils to master the subjects in hand1 that has greatly encouraged their teachers4 ,many pupils have expressed a praiseworthy dissatisfaction with their work and a longing to do it better1 and have seemed glad to devote recreation and holiday hours to gain a better mastery of difficult subjects4 ,accompanying this zeal for the acquisition of knowledge there has been1 from the week of prayer1 a deep and growing tenderness on the subject of religion4 ,while there have been no special revival services1 the regular weekly religious meetings of the ,university1 both voluntary and those in the regular order1 have been attended and sustained with the most earnest enthusiasm and by about the same numbers4 ,some four weeks ago a request was made after the ,sunday evening preaching service1 that those who had lately become ,christians would remain4 ,several who had given good evidence of a change of heart were absent from the service1 but fourteen remained and bore glad witness to personal experience of the ,lord's saving power4 ,since then the work has gone on steadily1 and about one soul a day has come into the light4 ,the ,spirit is revealing ,his presence in all grades of the ,university1 and boarders and day pupils are witnessing to ,his saving power4 ,the work is very quiet1 deep and wonderful4 ,there are over forty-five who give evidence of having been 8born from above40 ,the following incident illustrates the peculiar graciousness of the work as it was modestly related by one of the teachers last evening in ,faculty meeting3 8,yesterday noon1 as my scholars were passing out of the room1 a boy stepped out of the line and stood waiting to speak with me4 ,when all had left the room1 ,i said3 #8,well1 ,b41 what can ,i do for you8' ,with a voice broken with emotion1 he exclaimed3 #8,oh1 ,miss ,p41 ,i want to be a ,christian2 ,i have wanted to be one for a good while1 and ,i want you to pray for me4' ,i was surprised1 as he had given me considerable trouble for weeks1 and ,i had not thought him seriously inclined till that morning4 8#8,i certainly will pray for you1' ,i replied2 #8would you like to have me do so now8' 8#8,yes1 ma'am1' was his earnest response4 8,turning the key in the lock1 to avoid interruptions1 ,i knelt with him and asked the ,lord to help him give up everything4 ,he tried to pray1 but could only say1 #8,oh1 ,lord6 ,oh1 ,lord66' and broke into sobs4 ,i then opened the ,bible and read1 #8,come unto ,me1' #8,i am the ,way1' and other passages4 ,he having regained his self-possession as ,i opened to him the ,scripture1 ,i said3 #8,now1 is there anything you have not given up--anything you are not willing to give up for ,christ8' #8,no1' he answered1 firmly1 #8,i do not care for anything2 ,i want to be a ,christian4' ,i was obliged to leave him here1 and did not have a chance to speak with him again that day4 ,this morning he was a little late1 but something in his face as he said #8good morning1' told me that the struggle was ended4 ,this noon he again left the line1 and without waiting for his mates to pass out1 held out his hand1 joyfully exclaiming3 #8,miss ,p41 ,i want to tell you that ,i have found ,jesus2 ,i found him last night1 and ,i am happier than ,i have ever been since ,i was born2 ,i mean to serve ,him as long as ,i live4' ,i never heard a more earnest and hearty confession of ,christ40 ,the frequent occurrence of incidents like this fill all our hearts with deep awe and invest every act and word with a tender solemnity4 ,we feel the majestic presence in our midst of ,one seeking and saving that which was lost4 ,pray for us1 brethren1 that the will of ,god may be fully wrought among us1 and these youths1 so eager for that education which is so necessary for the future well-being of the ,south1 be enriched above all other getting with 8the gift of eternal life40 ,m4 ,l4 ,,berger4 ,,fisk ,,university4 ,the time has come in the religious history of the year in ,fisk ,university when an account of the work done may be given4 ,i have no doubt that it will interest and encourage the friends of the ,association4 ,during the week of prayer for the ,y4 ,m4 ,c4 ,a4 among colleges1 the young men of the institution who belong to the ,y4 ,m4 ,c4 ,a4 of ,fisk held meetings and did good work among the young men who do not profess to be ,christians4 ,as a result1 three or four were hopefully converted4 ,the week of prayer was observed in the institution1 meetings being held immediately after supper4 ,from the beginning to the end the attendance was large and the interest great4 ,the meetings continued four weeks1 and have just closed4 ,twenty-five of the students have been converted1 including the three or four who were converted during the week of prayer held by the young men4 ,the interest culminated at the meetings during the day of prayer for colleges4 ,the afternoon meeting of that day was one of the most remarkable ever held in the ,university4 ,at the beginning of the meeting1 ,president ,cravath gave the following statistics of the higher grades3 ,students in college1 #db1 professing ,christians1 #cg2 ,normal students1 #dj1 professing ,christians1 #cf2 ,college preparatory students1 #df1 professing ,christians1 #cd4 ,total number in higher grades1 #abf2 total number of professing ,christians1 #aba1 or about #hf per cent4 ,the key-note to the meeting was given by ,george ,mc,lellan1 a former graduate1 who had studied theology at ,hartford for a year4 ,he said that in a meeting at ,hartford he found that ,fisk had a larger percentage of ,christian students than any other college represented in the meeting1 but that the students of ,fisk were not entering the ministry in such large numbers as the students from other colleges were4 ,the key-note once struck1 a most interesting discussion arose as to why the students of ,fisk were not entering the ministry4 ,different causes were assigned1 which may be reduced to one or two4 ,there is not sufficient inducement offered to the young men to become ministers2 the claims of the ministry are not presented with sufficient stress2 the churches are so few and so small that the prospect is very discouraging2 if a young man offers himself for the ministry1 he must go ,north to study theology1 where he is in danger of being educated out of sympathy with his people4 ,the ,southern schools have no well-equipped seminaries in which young men may be educated4 ,the meeting closed with this question still uppermost1 and at night it was taken up by common consent and another hour spent in considering it4 ,it was felt by all that the time had come for the establishment of a well endowed theological seminary for the schools in the ,south4 ,h4 ,s4 ,,bennett4 ,,savannah4 ,the revival in ,savannah and vicinity began with the church in ,woodville in ,november1 spread to ,mc,intosh1 thence to ,savannah4 ,results3 somewhat more than two hundred appear desirous for the ,christian life1 and great renewal to activity among the members in these churches4 ,the presentation of the sole essential--a crucified ,saviour2 ,scriptures linked in argument like shields in the ,phalanx1 and pressed day after day by ,evangelist ,james ,wharton1 of ,barrow-in-,furnes1 ,england1 are not to be lightly esteemed if no conversion had resulted4 ,the man who holds that the congregations gathered in ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 churches cannot be moved by the ,book1 was not present during these services4 ,march #f1 at our feast of in-gathering1 the ,savannah ,church gave the right hand to twenty-nine new members1 in part the fruit of this revival4 ,tender and thankful were the tears of joy shed by the faithful teachers as those converted in answer to their prayers stood forth to confess the ,saviour4 ,the harvest from seed long sown was there in the converted mother1 at whose recall a ,magdalen home is purified1 and a son and daughter stand on either hand1 making the gracious picture complete4 ,let ,shelburne1 ,mass41 hear this testimony1 8,i have never been at rest till now since ,i was in one of ,miss ,hardy's mother-meetings long ago40 ,,dana ,,sherrill4 ,,storrs ,,school4 ,the last has been a month of much labor and of much rejoicing as well1 for the ,lord has blessed us--in school and church--we feel4 ,nearly one hundred conversions in our school and in our ,sabbath school1 and a great quickening among those who had grown indifferent4 ,i never felt so close to the ,master1 more that ,his spirit was so in our midst2 and yet there was no excitement--just a ready willing surrender of the heart and life to ,jesus4 ,some of the converts are 8little ones10 and some are youths and some are in mid-life4 ,in my own class of young men1 ten have found the ,saviour and eight of them are to unite with our ,church next ,sunday4 ,i think there are forty who are proposing a public uniting with us at that time4 ,it is a time of great anxiety for us4 ,the young feet will wander if not guided by earnest ,christian admonitions4 ,i need not say we are tired and trying to rest a little before our spring term opens next ,monday4 ,h4 ,j4 ,m4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,complimentary ,,concert ,,to ,,governor ,,and ,,legislature ,,of ,,tennessee ,,by ,,fisk ,,university4 ,the ,mozart ,society1 under the direction of ,prof4 ,spence1 has just given its concert complimentary to ,his ,excellency the ,governor1 and the ,legislature of ,tennessee4 ,the ,governor was unable to attend on account of sickness in his family1 but sent a letter to ,prof4 ,spence expressing his regret4 ,this is the third time that a complimentary concert has been given to the ,legislature1 at its different sessions1 but this one was probably the most successful in every sense4 ,the whole chapel was reserved for our guests2 no tickets being sold1 and the students not attending1 that there might be room for the entire body4 ,a few leading citizens1 both white and colored1 were invited1 and the ,faculty and teachers of the ,university were also present4 ,the night was warm and pleasant1 and students appointed for the purpose met our distinguished guests at the street car1 a quarter of a mile distant1 escorting them up through the unlighted street4 ,the ,hall1 however1 was brilliantly lighted1 and when the concert began was well filled1 still others coming in later in the evening4 ,the ,mozart ,society1 consisting of fifty members1 with piano1 organ1 violins1 flute and cornet1 occupied the raised platform in front4 ,the ,society includes all grades of students1 but more especially are they from the advanced classes1 as the very difficult music which they render requires all the mental power of which they are capable4 ,prof4 ,spence is the soul and life of the ,society1 and gives himself to it with an energy and enthusiasm that is an inspiration to all the members4 ,they have studied music from the great composers for several years1 and during the present school year have devoted themselves especially to the ,oratorio of ,elijah4 ,the first half of the concert consisted of selections from this ,oratorio4 ,all who are acquainted with the music know that it is simply sublime and that it must be a most unappreciative soul that can listen to it without being deeply moved4 ,the opening chorus1 8,help1 ,lord6 ,wilt ,thou quite destroy us80 was so full of pathos and of pleading that it seemed to subdue and quiet the whole audience4 ,indeed1 the silence that prevailed throughout the entire rendering testified to the interest felt4 ,when they sang1 8,lord6 bow thine ear to our prayer60 the breathless stillness in the house made us feel that much of real prayer was there1 and we wondered if hearts that had never before felt ,god's presence might not be touched by ,his spirit4 ,then came the wild cry of the priests of ,baal1 loud and long and despairing1 with the mocking of ,elijah1 who says1 8,call him louder1 for he is a ,god40 ,a few times the audience broke into applause1 but generally expressed themselves by quiet attention4 ,probably the style of music was new to many of them1 and it was interesting to watch the faces of different ones as they listened4 ,some were at first perhaps disappointed1 evidently not expecting that kind of music1 but a growing and deepening interest marked their faces as they sat watching as well as listening4 ,when ,elijah pleaded for rain1 and the people cried1 8,help1 send thy servant help1 ,o ,god60 8,hear from heaven1 and forgive their sin10 the listening attitude of the audience seemed to express sympathy with the sad refrain1 and when1 at last1 the grand chorus1 8,thanks be to ,god10 burst forth1 it was almost overwhelming4 ,what a lifting up of voices it was6 it with a piercing sweetness that rent the air and bowed all hearts before it4 ,the second part of the concert consisted of ,jubilee songs1 college songs1 and patriotic songs1 more popular music1 but to some of us it was a letting down from the heights to which we had been lifted4 ,it was received1 however1 with demonstrations of delight1 which could not have been expressed for the first part1 if it had been felt4 ,almost everything was encored4 ,the college songs were full of rollicking fun1 and the ,jubilee music brought rounds of applause again and again4 ,when 8,good news1 the chariot's coming10 and 8,silver ,slippers0 were sung1 the dignified legislators got to beating time with their feet in real camp-meeting style4 8,way down upon the ,suwanee ,river0 was sung with a softness and sweetness that reminded one of ,jenny ,jackson in the old ,jubilee days4 ,it was listened to with breathless attention and followed by prolonged applause4 ,the concert closed with 8,america10 beautiful and grand1 as it always is4 ,the whole audience rose to their feet and joined with a heartiness which showed that the 8old time0 has indeed 8gone10 and 8new times0 for the ,south1 white and black1 are already here4 ,h4 ,m4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,indians4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,failure ,,of ,,the ,,sioux ,,bill4 ,this bill1 known also as the ,dawes ,bill1 for the opening of parts of the great ,sioux reservation and settling the tribal boundaries of each division of the ,sioux nation now occupying it1 failed to become a law by the fatal objection of one man1 ,representative ,holman4 ,the bill was warmly advocated by the best friends of the ,indians as being the best possible compromise with the tide of civilization pressing in on these people from every side4 ,the ,black ,hills were seized by the whites first1 and bought afterwards4 ,it was hoped to prevent the recurrence of such robberies4 ,it was also felt that these ,indians needed to be forcibly reminded that their condition has changed1 and that they must speedily adapt themselves to the ways of civilization or go under4 ,the majority of them accept this idea in theory1 but are very slow to adjust themselves to it practically4 ,the thing they are slowest about is to select for themselves good lands for homesteads4 ,they are loth to separate from each other1 and few of them have any idea of what good land is4 ,here may be one of the ways in which the postponement of this measure will be a blessing4 ,time is something much needed in the ,indian's re-adjustment of himself to the new conditions of life4 ,if he can only be encouraged now to exert himself to establish a separate home and open a farm2 if he can be guided so as to avoid serious mistakes1 he will come out the better for the delay4 ,let the ,christian public throw their sympathy and interest towards securing this end4 ,the ,government is well disposed1 but cannot act alone4 ,it will do what the public demands4 ,what is needed is the multiplication of such sub-agents as our ,rev4 ,john ,e4 ,smith at the ,ponca ,agency1 ,dakota1 who is both ,government teacher and our missionary4 ,he knows every man1 woman and child in his charge1 and just what they are doing4 ,or take our native missionary1 ,mr4 ,francis ,frazier1 at ,burrell ,station1 ,swift ,bear's colony4 ,he is himself a practical farmer1 and an ,indian4 ,what ,indian has done1 ,indian can do4 ,now1 if such men were planted all over the ,sioux country in charge of small colonies of farming ,indians1 properly backed up by ,government1 the progress of this people would be rapid4 ,as it is1 the colony from ,rosebud ,agency at ,swift ,bear's have to choose between the barren lands near the ,agency1 or spend half their time traveling back and forth over the one hundred and forty miles to their farms located in the best land of the whole reserve4 ,there is no encouragement in that for an ,indian to choose land that will bring him a living when ,government rations cease4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,grand ,,river ,,mission ,miss ,collins' introduction to work in her new field has been no tame affair1 as far as the physical elements could make it4 ,the winter has been unusually cold and stormy4 ,but the people have welcomed her cordially1 and she has been especially helpful to the sick4 ,her administration of simple remedies has been blessed of the ,lord to work a number of cures1 which1 to the ,indians1 have seemed miraculous and have given her a reputation as a healer1 so that they bring their sick to her from all directions4 ,one morning she found at her door a young woman sick with pneumonia1 who had been brought there on a hand sled by her mother and sister through a fearful snow storm4 ,miss ,collins expostulated with them for so exposing the sick one4 ,the mother answered3 8,we heard that unless you see their body with your own eyes1 and lay your hands upon them1 you cannot heal them40 ,this report1 no doubt1 arose from her feeling the pulse of the sick4 ,a child1 whose sister had died with convulsions and ,st4 ,vitus' dance1 and who was also thought to be dying in the same way1 was brought to her4 ,the spasms were relieved at once1 and in a few days the root of the difficulty was discovered and she was cured4 ,elias ,gilbert1 the new teacher who takes the place of ,edwin ,phelps during his absence at ,hampton1 works in finely4 ,he is very enthusiastic over the progress the people have made under his predecessor and the hearty interest they take in the school and in church services4 ,on the ,sabbath there is a very interesting woman's meeting1 numbering about thirty1 mostly mothers4 ,adams ,wakanna is the new worker at ,oak ,lake1 another point in this field4 ,this is newer ground1 and the people are yet in careless ignorance of the way of life4 ,but our native helper is full of zeal1 for this very reason4 ,he is working well4 ,edwin ,phelps1 who has worked so long and so well in this field1 is now at ,hampton1 ,va41 taking ,bible studies and serving as ,indian ,chaplain there4 ,many of the pupils at ,hampton are from his own field at ,standing ,rock ,agency4 ,so he has a special interest in them and a personal hold upon them4 ,he cannot fail to do them good4 ,this ,grand ,river field should at once have a thorough equipment of buildings and missionary force4 ,four thousand dollars were given two years ago by ,mr4 ,e4 ,b4 ,monroe to build this ,mission4 ,but everything waits for the fit man for a missionary4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,chinese4 99 99 99 99 99 ,a ,,new ,,home4 ,,by ,,the ,,rev4 ,c4 ,t4 ,,weitzel4 ,the ,santa ,barbara ,chinese ,mission has taken a long step forward4 ,until the beginning of this year1 its rooms were hired4 ,now it lives in rooms of its own on grounds of its own4 ,some time before the annual visit of our faithful ,superintendent1 the ,rev4 ,w4 ,c4 ,pond1 the further use of its old quarters had been denied the mission4 ,in this emergency the teacher of the school1 ,mrs4 ,e4 ,m4 ,shattuck1 opened her own house for its meetings until it should appear what was wise to do next4 ,the problem had already been considered by ,mr4 ,pond4 ,with a faith1 an energy and a wise caution all alike admirable1 he set about the solution of it4 ,within forty-eight hours after the steamer landed him1 a desirable lot had been purchased and the contract for a mission-house made4 ,in a week's time the building was sufficiently advanced to be used by the young men for their ,chinese ,new-year's reception4 ,on the evening of ,feb4 #aath1 it was formally dedicated4 ,i had charge of the service1 and fully sympathized with ,mr4 ,pond's earnest wish that it should be a decidedly religious and solemn one4 ,his letter for the occasion1 and the addresses of the evening1 which were interpreted by the helper1 ,foo ,king1 all strongly emphasized the religious purpose and character of this mission work4 ,the building was set apart not only as a place of instruction1 but also as a place of worship2 not only as a school1 but also as a sanctuary4 ,may it become1 indeed1 a sacred place to many of these our brethren by the manifestation of the ,divine ,spirit in ,his enlightening and converting power6 ,as for the spiritual results among these young men1 it is even more difficult than in ordinary evangelistic effort to speak definitely and positively4 ,yet no one1 it seems to me1 can look into the many eager and open countenances to be seen every evening in those mission rooms1 without the conviction that somehow the good seed is growing in those hearts4 ,nor can ,i note the cheerful alacrity and the large generosity with which these young men have contributed toward the cost of the new building without a feeling that they have1 on the whole1 a worthy conception of its purpose4 ,and ,i certainly cannot contrast the debasing1 poisonous atmosphere of the ordinary resorts of their countrymen in ,chinatown with the healthy1 uplifting atmosphere of this mission home1 without the thankful assurance that this is a refuge from temptation as well as an inspiration to a better life for every one of these scholars4 ,that the ,chinese ,mission of ,santa ,barbara is doing good1 there is not a doubt in my mind4 ,one of their number made a public confession of his faith in ,christ the past year1 making four who are now members of the ,congregational church4 ,two or three more are anxious to be baptized1 but dare not yet take this step for fear of the bitter opposition and the complete ostracism which they say they must expect from their family connections here and in ,china if they do4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,bureau ,,of ,,woman',s ,,work4 ,,miss ,d4 ,e4 ,,emerson1 ,,secretary4 99 99 99 99 99 ,my dear friends3 ,it is ,monday morning1 8bright and early40 ,i have taken my seat by an open window1 not so much to enjoy the beautiful outside view of green fields and budding trees as the pleasure of a little talk with you4 ,there are so many things that ,i want to tell you1 ,i hardly know which to select1 but think ,i will first tell about 8,the ,mothers' ,league40 ,i had felt so deeply that more must be done in careful home training by the mothers of these young girls ,i meet in ,sunday-school and sewing-school1 if we would raise up true and pure maidens1 that ,i resolved to try to bring more of the mothers together1 that we might freely talk the matter over1 hoping thus to bring them into a fuller sympathy and helpfulness with my work and with each other4 ,i bought a package of twenty-five visiting cards1 and wrote upon each as follows3 8,the ,mothers' ,league will meet at ,porter ,mission1 ,e4 ,cedar street1 at #c o'clock1 next ,saturday evening4 ,you are cordially invited to be present40 ,then ,i sent two of our little ,sunday-school girls to take them to the homes of those living near each other4 ,last ,saturday sixteen of these mothers responded by their presence1 and we had a very impressive meeting4 ,mrs4 ,h41 of ,tillotson ,institute1 kindly went with me1 and spoke pleasantly to them about the very earliest influence of the mother upon her children4 ,i gave them a few incisive thoughts from ,god's ,word1 one of which was this3 8,as is the mother1 so is her daughter40 ,the poor burdened mothers1 who do so desire to be faithful to their children1 but feel so helpless1 listened earnestly and with eyes full of tears4 ,when the question was asked1 how many of you would like to join this ,mothers' ,league8 every hand was raised4 ,it seemed best then to suggest only one point of agreement1 viz41 to pray daily for ,god's help in their duties as mothers1 and for ,god's blessing upon the ,mothers' ,league4 ,when asked to suggest the best time when all could unite1 one said3 8,i shall think about it all the day long40 ,another said3 8,i shall pray for it every day at #ab o'clock40 ,the oldest mother present said3 8,i think the best time is the first thing in the morning1 for we have to pray then1 any way40 ,so it was agreed that with the first waking moments the prayer 8,god bless the ,mothers' ,league10 shall ascend from sixteen mothers' hearts4 ,will ,he not bless8 ,i suggested that we meet again the first ,saturday in ,april1 but they said3 8,that will be a long time to wait2 can't we have another meeting in two weeks80 ,consent was given4 ,then another said3 8,can't we sometimes bring our girls with us80 ,consent was given that on the first ,saturday in ,april they might bring their daughters4 ,i took with me from ,tillotson ,institute two of the 8,young ,daughters of the ,king10 to help in singing1 and in this way do something for ,jesus4 ,the one who played the organ is the daughter of a minister1 who is now pastor of a ,congregational ,church in ,texas1 and who was educated in the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 schools4 ,so true it is that the circle of influence is ever widening4 ,i find that ,i have nearly filled my paper1 and must leave other things until another time4 ,we have recently had a cheering visit from ,rev4 ,dr4 ,beard1 ,secretary of the ,american ,missionary ,association1 and the one who has the special charge of the ,southern work4 ,texas is so far away from the centre of things1 that we are not often thus favored2 so that such visits are the more highly prized when they do come4 ,m4 ,j4 ,a4 99 99 99 99 99 ,we have had a great spiritual blessing4 ,only three of my thirty-three ,sunday-school boys are not ,christians4 ,sometimes the responsibility almost overpowers me4 ,they have so little help at home1 but find so much to hinder and discourage4 ,one bright1 smart boy of fifteen has within a few months come into my class1 and has accepted ,jesus as his ,saviour4 ,for nine years he has been smoking1 following the example of his father and older brother4 ,since his conversion he feels he cannot follow this habit1 and he is making brave efforts to overcome it4 ,young as he is1 the habit has a very strong hold upon him1 and he finds it hard work4 ,but ,god is helping him1 and ,i know he will succeed4 ,he comes to me each night to report his progress1 and for a week has met me every night with a glad smile and the words3 8,god has helped me1 and ,i haven't smoked to-day40 ,one day he got so far as to light the cigarette a boy had forced upon him1 but he remembered the verse he had just learned--,i ,corinthians x1 #ac--;and he threw the cigarette away4 ,there are many equally interesting cases1 where help and encouragement are so much needed4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,one ,,of ,,our ,,scholars4--,he is in the ,third ,reader class1 and is learning the simplest questions in arithmetic4 ,this is his first year in school1 and instead of being a little boy1 as you might suppose1 he is thirty-five years old1 and a 8,baptist preacher40 ,when he first came1 he said3 8,i ain't got no learning2 what ,i knows1 ,i just picked up myself40 ,one of the boys said3 8,i advised him to come1 so that he can learn to explain1 and when he gets up to preach1

said ,tom4 8,i give whatever papa or mamma gives me for it10 said ,james4 8,sometimes it's more1 and sometimes it's less40 8,oh1 ,i always give my own money60 said ,phil4 8,i don't think it's any giving at all unless you do that40 8,yours is the best way1 ,i'm sure10 said ,tom1 soberly4 8,they say it's the regular giving that counts40 8,and then1 of course1 what you give is just so much out of what you'd like to spend on yourself40 8,yes10 said ,phil1 feeling very self-denying and virtuous4 8,i'm going to try your way10 said ,tom4 8,and ,i'm going to keep an account and see what it will amount to40 ,the three boys were on their way home from ,sunday-school1 where they had heard from a missionary some very interesting accounts of the great work which is going on in ,africa4 ,he had succeeded in deeply stirring the sympathies of his young hearers1 so that many of them went away with the solemn feeling that they should in some sense be held answerable if they did not strive to hold out a helping hand to those in such sore need4 ,for the present it was plain that missionary interest was to be centered in the 8dark continent10 and little societies were formed among ,sunday-school children1 they believing it would be pleasanter to put their gifts together than to offer them separately4 ,several boys came to ,phil's house on the next afternoon to talk it over1 and ,phil brought his account-book to put down their names as the first members of their society1 with a preamble in which occurred many high-sounding words setting forth their resolves and intentions4 8,what's this1 ,phil80 asked his uncle1 picking up the book on the same evening1 after tea4 8,oh1 that's my account-book1 uncle2 ,i brought it down to take names and draw up resolutions for our missionary society40 8,may ,i read it1 or is it a secret organization80 8,certainly1 you may4 ,i am simply1 you know1 trying to work up the idea of liberal giving among the boys40 8,a most excellent idea10 said his uncle1 concealing his amusement at ,phil's rather pompous tone4 8,let me see3 ,bananas1 twenty-five cents2 soda water1 ten cents2 peanuts1 twenty-five cents2 bat1 thirty-five cents2 candy1 fifteen cents2 base-ball cap1 seventy-five cents2 ,sunday-school1 six cents----0 8,oh1 stop1 ,uncle ,george2 that isn't in it6 ,that's when ,i was visiting at ,cousin ,tom's1 and ,i promised mamma that ,i'd put down every cent ,i spent40 ,but ,uncle ,george seemed not to hear1 and went on3 8,peanuts1 fifteen cents2 bananas1 twenty-five cents2 getting shoe mended1 forty cents2 soda water1

uncle40 8,i'm glad you don't forget your charitable duties1 ,phil10 said his uncle1 giving up the book with rather a mischievous smile4 ,phil took it in some confusion4 ,he had heretofore thought but little more of his spendings than to remember his mother's wish that he should keep an account of the money with which she had kept him so liberally supplied4 ,now1 in looking over his hasty entries1 he was astonished4 8,well1 well60 he exclaimed1 as he added up one page3 8two dollars and ninety cents for eating and play1 and seventeen cents for giving1 and ,i bragging to the boys what a good thing it is to give regularly60 ,he was a conscientious boy1 and his heart smote him as he ran over the long list1 and thought with his newly-awakened feelings1 of the bread of life which that money might have carried to starving souls4 ,if his mother had aimed to teach him a lesson through his account-book1 she had not failed4 ,he got up at last and stood before the glass4 8,now1 my young man10 said he1 shaking his head very threateningly at the boyish face he saw there1 8you know very well that a quarter for peanuts doesn't look any larger to you than a pin's head1 and that a quarter for giving looks as big as a cart-wheel--but that's got to stop1 sir6 ,this book isn't going to hold any more accounts of dollars for trash and cents for ,sunday-school40--,the ,christian ,giver4 99 99 99
