,american ,missionary ,association4 99 99 99 99 99 ,the ,advance will please accept our thanks4 ,in a recent issue it quotes almost the entire financial article published in the ,may ,,american ,,missionary1 and then editorially comments as follows3 8,the ,advance seconds the motion for a movement all along the line to save the ,american ,missionary ,association from the calamity of a threatened debt4 ,may and ,june are magnificent months for doing good things4 ,the whole world opens out in beauty4 ,blossoms1 songs1 abounding life1 are everywhere4 ,what a hint to close-clasped pocket-books to come out from their hiding places and join with the lilacs and apple trees and the birds and the forests and the fields in making everybody happy with their generous outflow4 ,the ,new ,west is out of debt2 the ,home ,missionary ,society is out of debt4 ,let ministers and churches and sympathetic friends see to it that when the financial year ends the ,american ,missionary ,association can join in the same glad refrain--out of debt60 99 99 99 99 99 ,the prime object we have in view in urging our appeal for increased contributions at the present time is that1 if possible1 we may obtain relief from threatening financial embarrassment before the summer months are upon us4 ,when the ministers are in their own pulpits1 and when the people are in their own pews1 then is the time to make an effort4 ,unfortunately for some years past1 we have been obliged to make special appeals during the summer months4 ,we had no option4 ,it was appeal or suffer4 ,we have always felt the disadvantage4 ,we were obliged to call1 and yet we were conscious that those who ought to hear did not hear1 and that many who heard felt constrained to do more than they really could afford4 ,many a time we would have gladly returned donations to friends who made altogether too great sacrifice in giving what they did4 ,cannot this evil be remedied8 ,that is the question we wish to press during the few weeks that are now passing4 ,brethren and friends1 before the vacation days come1 can you not so roll up on your gifts to the treasury of the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 that when the summer is fairly here and you are gone to the mountains1 to the seaside1 across the ocean1 or elsewhere1 our anxieties shall be allayed and the danger of our being obliged to make special appeals shall be averted8 8',tis a consummation most devoutly to be wished40 99 99 99 99 99 ,our ,treasurer frequently receives gifts in the form of cherished keepsakes4 ,these keepsakes are associated with the memory of loved ones now dead1 and they represent much more than any money value can measure4 ,a widow1 to whom a watch was the chief material reminder of her husband1 heard the appeal of the ,american ,missionary ,association1 and having no money to give1 sends that watch that it may be sold in the market and the money go into our work4 ,a friend of hers1 who sent the watch to us1 writes3 8,favored with but few of this world's goods1 yet not daring to plead this as an excuse for not giving1 she felt heavenly drawings to give to the ,lord this cherished memento of the dear departed one4 ,having known her for many years as a ,dorcas in the church1 ,i cheerfully write these few words1 not because of the intrinsic value of the gift1 but because it is indeed the widow's mite1 and in ,god's sight the widow's mite may be more than the costly offerings of the wealthy40 ,such gifts greatly encourage us1 because they tell of affection and devotion and sacrifice4 99 99 99 99 99 ,we wish to guard our work and friends from imposition4 ,not necessarily imposition in the bad sense4 ,it is to shield them from making donations to objects that in themselves may be worthy1 under the impression that they are giving to the work of the ,a4 ,m4 ,a41 when they are doing no such thing4 ,there are a great many schools1 of one kind and another1 that have been started at the ,south among the colored people by private parties1 on a purely independent basis4 ,complaint comes to us frequently that circulars and letters begging for funds with which to carry on these independent enterprises are being continually received1 and that funds are diverted from our treasury on that account4 ,many contribute in response to these appeals under the impression that they are giving to the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 ,these independent ventures differ from our work in one very important respect4 ,all our institutions are under supervision and are held to a strict responsibility and scrutiny4 ,these others to which we refer are irresponsible and not supervised4 ,many of them are carried on with what we should consider a great lack of economy1 and some of them are in the field because those that control them were uncomfortable under supervision4 ,they knew too much to be counseled with and would not be advised4 ,we ask our friends to be careful in the confidence they give to every applicant1 who1 taking the files of the ,,american ,,missionary1 uses the ,united ,states post-office as a means of gaining entrance to their homes and charity4 ,we have no right to dictate to our friends where they shall spend their money4 ,that is their own business4 ,but we feel that it is our duty to advise them of the complaints that come to us1 and to put them on their guard against imposition from every quarter4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,color ,,line ,,in ,,art4--,the ,art ,students' ,league of ,new ,york recently admitted to its membership ,mr4 ,geo4 ,alex4 ,bickles1 a colored youth of nineteen years4 ,he is the first colored student ever admitted to the ,league4 ,a few of the students were inclined to be angry because he was admitted4 ,they wanted to draw the color line4 ,they tried to work up a feeling of antagonism against the management4 ,they called a meeting of the students1 introduced a series of resolutions against the admission of colored students1 but they were ingloriously defeated4 ,to add to their chagrin1 they were informed that even had their resolutions passed1 the management would have taken no notice of them4 ,mr4 ,bickles is a bright young man1 who until recently was a stable boy at ,islip1 ,l4,i4 ,he has a remarkable talent for drawing and painting1 and his sketches are to be found in many a home in that ,long ,island village4 ,several prominent ,brooklyn gentlemen having summer residences at ,islip1 recognized the young man's ability and urged him to quit the stable and study art4 ,this is the reason why he is now a student of the ,art ,league1 and there is this to his credit1 that he has been admitted to its membership upon the merit of his work4 ,in addition to being a good painter1 he is also a fine musician4 99 99 99 99 99 ,a ,german1 who owned a large plantation and many slaves near ,savannah1 ,ga41 at his death manumitted his slaves4 ,some of them were his own children4 ,two of his boys he sent to ,germany and had them thoroughly educated4 ,it was the design of the planter to have his property go to his freed children1 as they were the only children he had4 ,the war came and the ,state confiscated the property4 ,one of the boys has been for many years a missionary of the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 ,he spends half an hour daily teaching ,german to the daughter of a prominent white citizen4 ,our missionary writes3 8,yesterday1 while busy teaching this little one1 a visitor looked in and asked the mother in ,german1 #8,what are you doing8' ,she replied1 #8,my little daughter is taking lessons4' ,visitor said something about #8nigger4' ,the lady held up her hand1 as the stranger drew back in the next room1 and said to him1 #8,that is the ,german translator4' ,the visitor answered1 #8,is that the one8' ,the conversation was now carried on in an undertone4 ,whenever ,i go to discharge my duty at the above mentioned house1 ,i am kindly treated4 ,whenever ,i call on the ,german ,lutheran minister1 ,dr4 ,bowman1 of ,savannah1 he treats me with kindness and respect4 ,the language of the visitor made little impression on me1 for in ,germany ,i have been taught to respect an honest man1 not his color4 ,the ,united ,states is a strange place40 99 99 99 99 99 ,a ,,child',s ,,faith4--,a little colored boy was in the room where his old grandmother was lying1 suffering intense pain from rheumatism4 ,it was in the evening4 ,as he was leaving and said good-night to the old woman1 she said3 8,lewis1 won't you ask ,god in your prayers to-night to make grandma better80 8,oh1 yes1 ,i will1 and ,god will make you better40 ,he went right away1 and offered up his child's prayer that ,god might take away his grandma's pains and make her well4 ,his mother1 not knowing what had happened1 incidentally asked him if he had prayed for his grandma4 ,the little fellow1 thinking that his mother knew all about it1 replied3 8,oh1 yes1 ,i did2 but ,god hasn't done so yet4 ,i guess he is seeing about it1 but he'll do it40 ,next morning he hastened to ask his grandma how she was4 8,i am better1 thank ,god1 this morning10 came the answer4 ,at once he jumped about the room1 clapping his hands1 and cried out3 8,didn't ,i tell you ,god was seeing about it1 and ,i am so glad that he did it6 ,i knew he would60 99 99 99 99 99 ,an educated ,christian ,chinaman1 thoroughly acquainted with the teachings of ,confucius1 made the following comparison between ,confucius and ,jesus3 8,they are like two bridges2 they are both noble structures4 ,you admire the strength of the timbers and the way in which they are framed together1 forming the solid foundation and the graceful arch rising about it4 ,you walk on the bridge of ,confucius2 it is all right till you come to the ,river of ,death--there you see the black waters rolling before you1 and there is no plank on which you may cross to the shore beyond4 ,jesus ,christ is a completed bridge1 over which you may safely pass to the ,heavenly ,home and to the mansion he has prepared for your eternal habitation40 99 99 99 99 99 ,,stanley ,,as ,a ,,missionary4 ,in a recent interview between ,mr4 ,stanley and a newspaper correspondent1 the distinguished explorer said3 8,i have been in ,africa for seventeen years1 and ,i have never met a man who would kill me if ,i folded my hands4 ,what ,i wanted1 and what ,i have been endeavoring to ask for the poor ,africans1 has been the good offices of ,christians1 ever since ,livingstone taught me during those four months that ,i was with him4 ,in #ahga ,i went to him as prejudiced as the biggest atheist in ,london4 ,i was out there1 away from a worldly world4 ,i saw this solitary old man there1 and asked myself1 #8,why on earth does he stop here8' ,for months after we met ,i found myself listening to him and wondering at the old man's carrying out all that was said in the ,bible4 ,little by little his sympathy for others became contagious2 mine was awakened2 seeing his pity1 his gentleness1 his zeal1 his earnestness1 and how he went quietly about his business1 ,i was converted by him1 although he had not tried to do it4 ,how sad that the good old man died so soon6 ,how joyful he would have been if he could have seen what has since happened there60 ,and thus have these great explorers demonstrated the power of sympathy and kindness even upon the most degraded of people4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,look ,,on ,,this ,,side ,,and ,,on ,,that4 ,there is a very ancient chestnut tree which has been shaken by many a traveler on his way4 ,one of its nutshells has a word of wisdom in the story of two knights who contended about a certain shield4 8,it was gold40 8,it was silver40 ,both were sure1 for did they not see it for themselves8 ,both were wrong1 of course2 people usually are who see one side4 ,there were two sides to that shield4 ,the point of view has to do with what one sees4 ,for example1 when ,rev4 ,doctor ,field went ,south1 the shield which he looked at on the way was burnished gold4 ,he saw it4 ,he wrote a book about it1 which was honorable to his heart and to his eyesight4 ,everything was lovely and of good report down ,south4 ,it was faith1 hope and charity1 but the greatest of all was charity4 ,then ,editor ,grady came to ,new ,york and told us in eloquence and imagination of the ,new ,south4 ,the shield which he held up to us was gold studded with diamonds4 8,very well1 let it be gold1 that is what we want10 was the hopeful response of tens of thousands until it has come to be the mode to say1 8,surely it is gold4 ,the era of good will and justice has come1 and nothing either great or small remains for us to do40 ,those of us who have been praying and working for 8the acceptable year of the ,lord0 could wish that this were so1 but it remains true that an intelligent view is not a one-sided view4 ,people may run through the ,south and get the view that leans to inclination4 ,they may have delightfully warm receptions1 but it takes a good many warm days to make a summer4 ,there is no doubt that there is a ,new ,south1 that the beginning of the dawn of a glorious morning is lifting itself up4 ,thoughtful people in the ,south are realizing the trend of things4 ,they are attent to the problems which present themselves4 ,they are re-adjusting their opinions4 ,a few leaders are coming into the realm of convictions which are quite other than those they once entertained4 ,they are nobly meeting questions once ignored4 ,this is the prophecy of the golden year for which the ,american ,missionary ,association has been expending itself4 ,from the time when the ,american ,missionary ,association planted its first ,institution at ,hampton1 ,va41 until its last one was destroyed so lately by incendiaries at ,quitman1 ,ga41 it has waited patiently for ,southern recognition of its work4 ,this has been coming gradually1 and we need not say that we appreciate it4 ,many have been convinced1 some are urgently exhorting us to increased activities and service4 ,thoughtful ,southern people do not look upon a population of another race1 now numbering about seven millions1 which averages upwards of seventy per cent of absolute illiteracy1 with unconcern4 ,they begin to see what we are doing2 they begin1 in some respects1 to feel with us4 ,they even1 in some slight measure1 are co-operating with us4 ,this is the golden side4 ,it is full of promise4 ,but now if one should see this1 and see this only1 he would make a great mistake4 ,that which centuries have cherished will not change in a life-time4 ,it is true that it does not require the heroism of the past years for our teachers to go ,south now1 but none of them1 so far as we have learned1 have been spoiled as yet by being too greatly honored4 ,to illustrate the point of view1 we quote from a recent issue of the ,banner-,watchman of ,athens1 ,ga4 ,it reads3 8,about #h o'clock in the morning of any school day a passer through the streets of ,athens is met by great swarms of negro children on their way to be educated4 99 99 99 99 ,the question naturally presents itself1 who feeds and clothes and buys books for these pupils8 ,we do not suppose that one negro in twenty has #aj worth of property1 and they are paid1 too1 the smallest wages imaginable1 barely sufficient to buy them coarse raiment and the plainest food1 and yet they all seem not only able to keep their children in idleness 7sic7 but these children are nicely clad and have expensive books4 ,the question then arises1 who pays for all this8 ,and the conundrum naturally arises1 what are we educating these young negroes for8 ,what can we do with them8 ,the field for educated whites is narrow enough1 and there is no opening for a learned negro1 except the pulpit and the school bench1 and these two avocations are now crowded to suffocation4 ,experience has taught that when you educate a negro you incapacitate him for manual labor2 and to be a hewer of wood and drawer of water for the superior race is all the sphere that the ,african ever has or ever will creditably fill4 7,we forgive this unpremeditated murder of the ,queen's ,english47 ,visit the chain gangs of ,georgia1 or any old slave ,state1 and you will see that a little education1 assisted by a linen duster1 a cotton umbrella and a hymn book1 is the best recruiting sergeant that the penitentiary has40 8,and yet the white people of our ,state1 through the medium of politicians and office-seekers1 are taking an enormous load of taxation on their shoulders 7sic7 to make convicts and vagabonds of the only class of labor they now have4 ,to substantiate this statement we have only to refer to ,athens before and since public schools were established1 and the history of our city is the history of every place in the ,south where the whites have consented to bear the burthen of educating the negro4 ,there is 7sic7 ten times as much stealing in our midst now as before free schools were established1 and the number of idlers has increased as many fold4 ,so it is unkindness to the negro to lift him above his position40 ,in the same paper1 a second article declares that the colored schools are rapidly 8becoming nuisances40 ,now1 it would not be just to say that the sentiments quoted above are those of the ,new ,south4 ,they are not4 ,it would be equally erroneous to deny that these views would be accepted by the great body of people living in the ,south4 ,the ,new ,south to many means simply a new ,south for white people4 ,those who have had the misfortune to be the children of slavery are to most as yet not in the newness4 ,there is a ,new ,south that is becoming awake to the possibilities1 the opportunities1 and the duties1 especially of the dominant race1 but he shuts his eyes to serious facts1 and to many sad ones1 who is led to think that the movements which we herald with gladness are the thought and feeling of any large significance1 or that they can do the work to which the ,american ,missionary ,association is consecrated4 ,it will1 we fear1 be a long time yet before the ,south will become so new that it will spell negro with one g4 ,and it will be as long perhaps before the poor and despised shall be so elevated and ,christianized that people shall be ashamed to use two g's where one is superfluous4 ,the appreciation which our work gains from noble and thoughtful people in the ,south is the bright side4 ,we love to look upon this4 ,but the fact that there are seven millions of colored people in the ,south1 and probably not more than five hundred well educated colored preachers for them1 is a fact not so bright4 ,our schools and theological seminaries are bright spots in the darkness4 ,while we are grateful to note the fact that the thoughts of men are widening1 we know that there is need of faith and patience1 because there remains much land to be possessed4 ,one need not go far from what is hopeful to find enough to excite concern for the future1 and to urge him to relax no zeal to hasten the day when ,christ shall make all things new4 ,when ,southern newspapers can still print the opinion that education for the ,negro is a recruiting agency for the penitentiary1 and that colored schools are nuisances1 we may be sure that the anxiety of thoughtful people1 who are urging us to do a work which they cannot do and know not how to do1 is very real4 ,as to the truth of such opinions1 which are very common in the ,south1 we have only to quote a sentiment of a modern philosopher1 viz41 8,it is better not to know so many things1 than to know so many things that ain't so40 99 99 99 99 99 ,,things ,,to ,,be ,,remembered--,,no4 #a4 ,it seems to be a condition of every successful benevolent undertaking that there should be a constant recurrence to fundamental principles4 ,the danger1 in all mission enterprises1 is that they will become perfunctory1--about so much to the society--rather than a contribution measured by the forces and the interests involved in its work4 ,it is only when we see the reason of things1 and apportion our gifts according to the significance and value of our work on the ,kingdom of ,christ1 that we give intelligently1 wisely1 steadily for its promotion4 ,the friends of the ,american ,missionary ,association1 we believe1 will thank us if we recall to their minds certain fundamental things1 of which the ,association's work is only an expression4 ,the ,work3 ,three historic heathen races are represented on these shores and engage the labors of the ,association4 ,these races number fully one-half of the human family1 and1 at least1 three-fourths of the un-evangelized portions of the world4 ,for eighteen centuries ,christ has claimed them for his own1 and long ere this would have received them for his inheritance had his people been obedient to his last command4 ,but as we failed to go into all the world1 he has sent the world to us1 until the vast empire of heathendom pushes itself up to our very doors4 ,every day and every hour of the day we touch thousands and millions of ,china and ,africa1 and might1 if we would1 prepare them to be1 respectively1 the saviours of their country4 ,it is not only possible1 but it ought to be an easy thing to raise up out of the seven million blacks1 out of the one hundred thousand ,chinese1 and out of the two hundred and seventy thousand ,indians1 teachers and preachers enough to give the gospel1 with all its accompanying light and power1 to the unnumbered myriads they represent still sitting in the shadow of death4 ,the ,chinese are returning homeward at the rate of thousands a year1 and will all return1 if they live1 at their own charges4 ,who dare say it is not in our power to send them back with enough of the knowledge of ,christ in their heads1 and of his love in their hearts1 to guide themselves and their countrymen to ,heaven8 ,who dare say that we have not ,christian power enough to bring every ,indian in the land under the subduing influence of the ,gospel3 that we have not resources of every kind adequate to preparing thousands and tens of thousands of the sons and daughters of ,africa to be the regenerators of their country8 ,and yet we have been in contact with the ,negro and the ,indian since the landing of the ,pilgrims2 and with the ,chinese since the discovery of gold on the ,pacific coast1 without perceiving that our hand was on the unsaved millions of the globe1 and that we had the opportunity to move and master them for ,christ4 ,has blindness happened to our churches that they do not see the meaning of the presence of these races here1 and that they look with such apparent indifference1 not only upon questions of the gravest political import in connection with them1 but questions involving the regeneration of continents8 ,these populations are in our hands1 and will be what we make them4 ,we may train them to be the ,world's teachers and leaders1 or we may leave them and their races to the old night of heathenism4 ,it is such an opportunity to do a magnificent ,christian work for the human race as was never before offered to man4 ,to take advantage of this opportunity is the special work of the ,american ,missionary ,association4 ,and to no society in this or in any land is there entrusted a work broader in the possibilities of its influence1 or mightier in the sources of its power4 ,c4 ,l4 ,,woodworth4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,plymouth ,,church1 ,,minneapolis1 ,,once ,a ,,beneficiary ,,of ,,the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 ,dist4 ,sec4 ,roy1 in his address before the ,general ,association of ,minnesota1 at ,minneapolis1 reported from official documents the early beneficiary relation between the ,plymouth ,church of that city and this ,association4 ,it appears that the ,church1 having been organized in #aheg1 had ,rev4 ,norman ,mc,leod commissioned as acting pastor in #aheh1 with #bjj a year pledged4 ,under him the first church edifice was erected4 ,it was a frame structure1 #cbfb1 that cost #b1cjj1 of which #cjj was furnished by the 8,building ,fund40 ,the ,church had then fifty members4 ,in #ahfj ,rev4 ,h4 ,m4 ,nichols was commissioned at the same rate for the same ,church4 ,during his first year of service that new meeting-house was burned by the incendiarism of the saloon interest4 ,a young man from ,new ,england in three years had run down to delirium tremens4 ,mr4 ,nichols was with him at his death1 and on the ,sabbath1 referring to this affair in a temperance sermon1 charged the murder upon the liquor traffic of the town4 ,the liquor sellers were present1 and 8were infuriated like mad hounds40 ,fifty ladies of the town waited upon the rum-sellers1 begging them to abandon their traffic4 ,they were answered by a flow of free rum that fired the crowd to do their desperate work of burning the church by using kerosene and burning fluid for kindling4 ,an indignation mass meeting was held and a vigilance committee of fifty was appointed to act4 8,the town10 says ,mr4 ,nichols1 8will be cleared of liquor40 ,a revival was also reported for that same year4 ,but just as ,mr4 ,nichols was about to start east to solicit aid in rebuilding1 he and his two children and a brother-in-law1 with his two children1 were drowned in ,lake ,calhoun4 ,in #ahfa ,rev4 ,w4 ,b4 ,dada was commissioned4 ,the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 report speaks of the place as an 8important field10 and mentions another revival as enjoyed there4 ,the first man labored eight months2 the second1 seven months2 the third1 nine4 ,this has proven a good investment1 as the contribution of this ,church the last year to the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 was #ejh1 and this is about the annual offering1 and its total of church benefaction the last year was #ce1bfc4 ,in these years it has been a very mother of churches4 ,it was this ,church that1 in #ahgc1 entertained the meeting of the ,american ,board1 which had come to hold its anniversary upon the field of its first mission among the ,sioux ,indians4 ,at that time1 #ahfj1 there were also two other churches in ,minnesota under the ,a4 ,m4 ,a41 those of ,traverse de ,sioux and ,brooklyn2 and in the ,west there were seventy white churches under the commission of this ,association4 ,among them1 those of ,charlotte1 ,mich41 ,sandwich1 ,ill41 and ,waterloo1 ,iowa4 99 99 99 99 99 ,we take the following from the ,atlanta ,constitution4 ,we publish the whole of the article1 from beginning to end1 in order that there may be no opportunity for drawing wrong inferences4 ,the ,constitution is edited by ,mr4 ,grady4 ,we consulted the editorial columns to see if any editorial remarks had been made upon the incident4 ,we did not find any4 ,surely the man who made that famous speech at the ,new ,england ,dinner recently in ,new ,york could not have been in his office4 ,if he were1 and allowed such an incident as this to go unnoticed1 very ugly inferences indeed must be drawn in reference to that ,new ,england ,dinner speech4 ,just what is the ,new ,south1 anyway8 8,something of a sensation was created at ,tillman's tent service1 corner ,hunter and ,lloyd streets1 yesterday afternoon4 ,early in the afternoon two white teachers in the ,clark ,university entered the tent with eight or ten negro girls1 who are students at the school1 and seated themselves4 ,soon after the party entered the tent1 ladies and gentlemen began arriving and in a short time the tent was crowded4 ,every seat except those reserved for the colored people was taken and many persons were standing up4 ,one of the ushers1 with a view to supplying seats for some who were standing1 went to the negro girls and asked them to move to the seats set apart for their race4 ,the girl to whom the usher spoke referred him to one of the teachers4 ,up to that time the usher did not know that the negroes and the two white women were together1 but turning to one of them he asked her to have the negro women move to the seats provided for their race4 #8,why should they move8' asked the teacher4 #8,because they are in seats reserved for the white ladies and gentlemen1 and there are plenty of them standing4 ,those seats over there are for colored people and those women can take them4' #8,well1 ,i don't know that there is any distinction as to color in a church and they won't move1' answered the teacher4 ,the usher seeing that a scene was probable if he insisted upon the negro women moving1 sought ,patrolman ,whitley1 who was near the tent1 and telling him that the tent belonged to the ,rev4 ,mr4 ,tillman1 asked him to remove the women4 ,the patrolman entered the tent and approaching the party1 repeated the request4 #8,well1 we are satisfied with these seats1' said the teacher4 #8,i can't help that1' said the patrolman1 #8this tent belongs to ,mr4 ,tillman and he wants these seats4 ,over there are seats for those negro girls4 ,you ladies can remain here1 but they must move4' #8,what difference does color make8' asked the teacher4 #8,i don't know1 only ,i know they must move4 ,now if they don't go ,i will have to take you all out1 and if ,i take you out ,i'll make cases in police court against you4 ,i am sorry to disturb you1 but it is my duty4' ,the two teachers and the negro girls held a consultation in a low tone a few minutes1 and then arising from their seats swept out4 ,when outside the tent one of the teachers called ,patrolman ,whitley to her and said3 #8,i was never treated so shamefully before4 ,i never knew before that one's color made any difference in a church before the ,lord4' #8,i don't know what it does before the ,lord1' answered the patrolman1 #8but down ,south here it makes a difference4 ,in this section we have nothing like social equality1 and never will1 in church or out of church4'0 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,south4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,notes ,,in ,,the ,,saddle4 ,,by ,,field-,,superintendent ,c4 ,j ,,ryder4 ,in the 8,notes0 of last month ,i spoke of the floods that threatened the destruction of plantations and villages in ,western ,mississippi4 ,from ,mississippi ,i passed over into ,texas1 and this was passing from flood to drought4 ,in some sections of the latter ,state there have been only two showers in as many years4 ,cattle are dying by thousands on prairie ranches4 ,water is held at fabulous prices1 and in some sections it is impossible to get it1 even for gold4 ,the reports of suffering which come from the ,western part of the ,state are painful in the extreme4 ,all ,christian hearts are turning in agonizing prayer to ,him 8who holds the waters in ,his hand40 ,special prayer services are held in many places1 and every ,sabbath petitions are offered in the pulpits for rain4 ,it is a fearful experience through which ,texas is passing just now1 and unless relief comes speedily the loss of property will be enormous1 and the lives of the settlers will be endangered4 ,i wonder if there be any occult logical connection between the want of water and the prohibition agitation8 ,however that may be1 ,texas is stirred to its centre by this temperance movement4 ,next ,august a prohibitory amendment to the ,state constitution is to be voted upon by the citizens4 ,churches1 public halls and school houses are filled almost nightly with interested and excited audiences listening to the discussion of their political duties concerning this great moral question4 ,the leading temperance advocates have confident hopes that this coming election will wheel the ,lone ,star ,state into line with the goodly number of prohibitory ,states4 ,in the hotels1 on the streets1 in railway carriages1 everywhere1 prohibition is the absorbing question4 ,in the cars1 as ,i journeyed from ,paris to ,dallas1 two gentlemen sat just behind me4 ,they were1 of course1 discussing this perplexing question of prohibition1 although from their arguments ,i learned that they were both opposed to temperance legislation4 ,one was a ,georgian1 the other a ,texan4 ,they both freely admitted that they 8liked their bitters10 and neither believed in prohibition1 8because1 you see1 it wouldn't prohibit60 ,said the ,texan3 8,there always have been1 and there always will be1 certain besetting sins1 and you cannot abolish them by law4 ,people have kept getting drunk ever since ,eve got drunk in the ,garden of ,eden1 and ,i reckon they always will1 and you can't prohibit it by law40 ,poor old mother ,eve6 ,the apple must have had hard cider in it4 ,this was the argument of a lawyer1 and fairly averages the arguments urged throughout the ,state against prohibition4 ,agitation and fair discussion are all that are needed to convince every man that the thing to do with crime is to prohibit it4 ,every ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 preacher and teacher was pronounced and energetic in his advocacy of this sound temperance principle4 ,the influence of these ,christian workers will be felt in the coming election4 ,the colored vote is an important factor in the settlement of this question1 and our ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 workers will do their utmost to make it solid for prohibition4 99 99 99 99 99 ,the ,sunday laws in ,texas are strict and well enforced4 ,even at the news counter at the hotels1 cigars and tobacco are not sold4 ,congregational leaven1 or some other moral force1 has agitated society most healthfully4 ,texas is a worthy example to many of our older ,states in respect to ,sunday observance4 ,there is now before the ,legislature a law prohibiting hunting on ,sunday1 and there is every reason to believe that it will pass4 99 99 99 99 99 ,tillotson ,institute1 the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 institution at the capital of the ,state1 is demanding better facilities and larger accommodations4 ,the school has outgrown its buildings4 ,its very prosperity makes additional expense necessary in order to do the work that is now pressing upon us4 ,and there is every reason to expect still larger success for the school in the future under the management of its new president4 ,it is the only institution which the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 has in the ,state1 and it holds a commanding position4 ,if it is largely and generously supported1 its influence will be felt throughout the entire ,state4 ,a ride of forty miles across the lonely prairie1 starting at midnight1 was full of possible romances and imaginary dangers4 ,the boy who drove got out of the buggy repeatedly 8to feel for the road1 sah40 ,as the track was so dim where other wagons had passed1 and as there were no fences to mark the road1 the only way to find it by night was to get down on one's hands and knees and feel for it4 ,houses stood ten1 twelve1 and even eighteen miles apart4 ,wolves were all around us on the prairie4 ,it would have been easy to have fancied that one was in danger1 but there was no real danger1 and when the light of the early morning came the ride was most delightful4 ,the prairie was starred with flowers2 thorny cactuses stood guard over more timid blossoms4 ,away back here on the prairie is ,goliad1 and in it an ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 church and school4 ,an old ,mexican town1 now in ruins1 stands across a ravine a short distance from the present village4 ,here1 in #ahce1 the terrible massacre of the ,american troops crimsoned the prairie grass4 ,but it was the bloody baptism of freedom6 ,the fetters of ,mexican tyranny were broken4 ,to-day this village is the centre of a large and exceedingly fertile farming region4 ,the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 church is feeble1 but full of hope and confidence4 ,they own their meeting-house1 and are thrifty and prosperous4 ,they are pushing towards self-support4 ,one of the church members teaches a day school4 ,so in this out-of-the-way village on the prairies of ,texas the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 is sowing the seed of a better ,christian progress4 99 99 99 99 99 ,the local papers of ,alabama have changed the spelling of the name of that ,state1 and write it now 8,alaboomer40 ,it is an appropriate change1 for the whole ,state is in a fever of excitement over the 8booms0 in real estate4 ,this rise in the value of property means increased work for the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 ,children of small farmers can be spared from cotton and corn field as their parents become more prosperous1 and thus our schools will be more crowded1 if this is possible4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,senator ,,sherman ,,at ,,fisk ,,university4 ,by invitation of the ,republican members of the ,tennessee ,legislature1 ,senator ,john ,sherman visited ,nashville on his return to ,ohio from ,cuba1 and on the night of the #bdth of ,march delivered in the hall of the ,house of ,representatives a public address on the issues of the day4 ,dr4 ,theo4 ,l4 ,cuyler said1 a few mornings since1 in addressing our students1 that he had chosen to return home from ,new ,orleans via ,nashville in order to visit ,fisk ,university1 though he could spend only a few hours in the city2 and that for a ,northern man to come to ,nashville and not see ,fisk1 would be like going to ,washington and not seeing the ,capitol4 ,the ,mayor of ,nashville followed the custom observed in the case of other distinguished visitors1 in providing in the programme of the day for ,senator ,sherman and his party a visit to ,fisk ,university4 ,under the escort of distinguished citizens of ,nashville1 during the present year we have had the honor of visits from ,judge ,kelly1 of ,philadelphia1 8the ,father of the ,house of ,representatives10 and his traveling companions2 ,charles ,dudley ,warner and the ,harper party1 and others4 ,these occasions are always full of interest1 and the ,university becomes an object-lesson to teach and illustrate the possibilities of ,negro education2 but ,senator ,sherman's visit was in every way so pleasant and significant that it will long be a fragrant memory and quickening inspiration to both faculty and students4 ,the ,senator's party1 largely increased in number by the addition of distinguished citizens of ,nashville and of the ,state1 and even of adjoining ,states1 and under the escort of the ,mayor of ,nashville1 arrived in carriages at ,livingstone ,hall at half-past eleven ,a4,m4 ,after a few moments had been spent in greetings and introductions in the ,president's room1 all repaired to the chapel1 where the students had been assembled in the order observed at our usual chapel worship4 ,the ,senator1 on his appearance with the president of the ,university at the head of the procession as the guests filed into the chapel and took seats upon the platform1 was greeted with most hearty applause4 ,the students then sang1 accompanied by the piano1 organ and orchestra1 8,the ,red1 ,white and ,blue10 which called forth hearty applause from the platform4 ,president ,cravath1 in a few well-chosen words1 then introduced ,senator ,sherman4 ,the students rose to their feet and stood in silence with eager1 upturned faces1 until the ,senator began his address4 ,his words were reported by one of the students1 and were full of the kindest sentiment and the soundest practical wisdom4 ,at the close of the address the ,jubilee song1 8,good ,news6 ,the ,chariot's ,coming10 was sung4 ,at the request of ,senator ,sherman1 ,gen4 ,grosvenor1 formerly ,lieutenant ,governor of ,ohio and now member of ,congress1 was introduced4 ,he began by referring to the gallantry and bravery of the colored soldiers under his command1 who made the desperate charge on the ,confederate works on ,overton ,hill during the second day of the battle of ,nashville1 and to the conviction expressed then that the descendants of such brave1 heroic men would under freedom prove themselves worthy citizens of the country their fathers fought to save from disruption4 ,the ,general made an excellent point in favor of higher education by an illustration drawn from the war4 ,he said3 8,when we called upon the colored men to become soldiers1 we put the best ,springfield rifles into their hands1 for being under greater disadvantages than white soldiers1 they needed the best possible weapons4 ,so for your success as leaders and guides of your people under freedom1 you need the best weapons1 and so the advantages of a higher education are provided for you1 and you should arm yourselves with the best discipline1 for you must fight your battles under unusual difficulties40 ,gen4 ,wheeler1 a prominent citizen of ,nashville1 who fought on the ,confederate side1 was next introduced1 and spoke a few words of most cordial greeting and congratulation4 ,the ,mayor then tendered thanks in behalf of the party for the cordial reception that had been extended by the ,university1 and announced that the limit of their time had been reached1 so that they must ask leave to retire4 ,the whole party then visited ,jubilee ,hall1 and thus completed the inspection of the ,university4 ,a quotation from the report of an interview with ,senator ,sherman1 as published in the ,new ,york ,herald and quoted in the ,nashville ,daily ,american of the #c;d of ,april1 will best convey the impression produced upon the ,senator by his visit3 8,are the ,southern ,negroes devoting much attention to the matter of education8 ,i never saw anything like it4 ,their thirst for knowledge has been greatly increased by the obstacles previously thrown in their way4 ,there are several excellent colored universities in the ,south4 ,fisk ,university at ,nashville is especially good4 ,the young men and women attending it are bright and very intelligent4 ,the young white people of the ,south must look well to their laurels or their black neighbors will soon lead them in the race for mental improvement40 ,,by ,a ,,teacher4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,remarks ,,of ,,senator ,,sherman4 ,,stenographic ,,report ,,by ,a ,,fisk ,,student4 ,this seems to me a very impressive scene4 ,most of you have grown up1 indeed most of you have been born1 since the event that secured your citizenship took place4 ,i am familiar with the object of 8,fisk10 and ,howard ,university in ,washington2 both are engaged upon the same work and are a tower of knowledge to a race of people that were denied all those privileges now so dearly cherished and so valuable to everyone4 ,it seems almost an act of the genii or the golden lamp1 like the story of ,the ,arabian ,nights4 ,the rapid changes that have occurred and now are occurring1 and the attainment of citizenship to a race that was a short time ago denied these privileges1 seem only to have been made possible by the magical power of the wonderful lamp4 ,you are all now entitled by the ,constitution and laws of the ,united ,states to the privilege of citizenship4 ,thirty years ago this could not be said of you in any ,state in the ,union4 ,now1 so far as law is recognized1 you have the same rights as the proudest man or woman in the country4 ,you must fit yourselves to enjoy these privileges4 ,i am now getting to be an old man4 ,let me give you a word of advice4 ,you must be patient in the progress you are making4 ,you must meet the prejudice of centuries4 ,while you should assert your rights with dignity1 you must be patient1 endeavor to command the respect of those you meet1 and you will see in the time near at hand that you will be given all your privileges4 ,you must be guided and directed by the forces that govern all humanity1 and1 therefore1 while you have the rights of ,american citizenship1 you should do all that will materially help your race and those that are to come after you4 ,you must be patient if sometimes you meet with difficulties and prejudice4 ,the ,alumni of ,fisk ,university will some day stand side by side with the graduates of ,yale and ,harvard4 ,to help on this passage are the laws of education1 the study of the sciences1 the study of arts1 and the study of the practical development and various resources you have at your command4 ,it is this1 young men and young women1 that is to help you4 ,now1 with these simple remarks1 with no desire to excite you1 ,i again express the hope that the time will come when in the ,north1 ,south1 ,east and ,west you will be recognized as a race and as ,american citizens according as you behave yourselves and not according to your color and condition4 99 99 99 99 99 ,a ,,church ,,and ,a ,,school ,,to ,a ,,county4 ,the 8,mountain ,work10 which the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 has undertaken in the ,south1 has a tendency to make those who engage in it enthusiastic1 and we in the field sometimes almost mistrust that even our well-informed officers in ,new ,york1 with all their appreciation of the need and greatness of the work before us1 are accustomed to make a discount of seventy-five per cent4 on all we write them4 ,on the other hand1 we know we have not been1 and shall not be1 able to make anyone who has not spent weeks here realize one quarter of the real needs of this field4 ,one has to go into their poor homes and see them in sickness and in death2 come into contact with them day by day1 and feel the general intellectual and spiritual destitution2 see some of them taking on noble1 ,christian manhood and womanhood1 before he can fully comprehend the importance of the work4 ,the ,a4 ,m4 ,a41 burdened with debt and beset with calls from other needy fields1 has been able1 so far1 to devote but a small sum to this work2 yet the work has gone on marvelously4 ,it has been clearly shown what can be done4 ,i am sure the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 is ready to hear and heed the command of the churches to go forward1 and even to take as a motto3 ,a ,church and a ,school in every ,county in the ,mountains4 ,it is with the hope of contributing a little to such a result that ,i give the following reasons why this should be done3 #a4 ,these counties contain from three to fifteen thousand inhabitants each--some of them even more4 ,in most of them there is no day-school worthy of the name1 no ,sunday-school1 no prayer-meeting1 no educated ministry1 no churches in which pure religion is taught or systematic work of any kind is done4 ,the majority of the people are good-hearted and respond readily to kind words and acts of love4 ,they live mostly in wretched1 windowless log-cabins1 and know few of the blessings of a ,christian land1 having no luxuries and few of those things which are generally considered necessities4 ,physically1 mentally and spiritually they need teaching and elevating4 ,for the sake1 then1 of the two and a half millions already here1 there ought to be a church and a school established at once in the county seat1 or chief place of every county4 ,from these centers the leaven would work through the whole region1 and other churches would spring up about them as they are doing in ,whitley ,co41 ,ky4 #b4 ,the population is increasing very rapidly4 ,even the high death-rate from poor food1 insufficient clothing1 wretched houses1 lack of nursing and of competent medical attendance1 cannot keep down the increase4 ,the children can be readily gathered into ,sunday and day-schools4 ,another generation ought not to be permitted to remain in the condition of the present and past4 #c4 ,then there is a third reason why this work should be undertaken at once on a much larger scale than at present4 ,the attention of the outside world is turning to the wonderful resources of these mountains4 ,it is becoming known that here is the richest undeveloped part of the ,united ,states4 ,the great forests of valuable timber1 the thick and easily-mined deposits of coal1 the fine quality of iron ore close by the coal1 and other undeveloped wealth1 are already drawing men here in large numbers4 ,the railroads are pushing their way among the mountains and immigration will add more and more to the population1 and vastly more to the wealth4 ,villages are springing up1 cities will soon follow1 and before many years this region will be filled with an enterprising and well-to-do people4 ,now is the time for the ,christian influences which are to mould the future history of this people for good1 to be set in motion from strategic points4 ,cannot the ,congregational churches1 which have the lead in ,christian work here1 arise in faith and take possession of the land in the name of the ,lord8 ,there is one place which gives promise of being the future center of this whole region and the largest place in the mountains4 ,it is now absolutely destitute of all elevating1 religious and educational institutions4 ,it is nearly one hundred miles from the nearest ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 work4 ,it is a village of three or four hundred inhabitants1 with a thickly populated country all around it4 ,a railroad is on the way to it1 and it has such exceptional advantages that it can scarcely fail to become a large and important place4 ,it ought to be occupied at once1 for people are beginning to come in advance of the railroad and now is by far the easiest and cheapest time to start the work4 ,is there not some man of consecrated wealth who will assume the financial part of establishing at once a mission in this place8 ,a neat1 inexpensive little chapel1 a school building1 a young minister and his wife1 a teacher and his wife1 would make a beginning from which great things would be sure to result4 ,beginning with this place1 there ought to be a church and a school placed one after another in the most promising places1 until there shall be a center of mental and spiritual enlightenment within the reach of every person in this backwood1 but promising region4 ,,frank ,e4 ,,jenkins4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,indians4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,speech ,,of ,,eli

it ,i have desired earnestly to know what was in it4 ,although ,i did not know much1 it has been my work now for about eighteen years to teach others1 the boys and girls and young people who have come to school at ,santee4 ,when our school first began we held it in a log house covered with dirt1 and with a hay floor4 ,the boys and girls came to school wearing their blankets1 and they sat on the ground to study4 ,but now we have good buildings1 and besides teaching in books1 our pupils are taught various industries--such as shoemaking1 blacksmithing1 carpentry and farming1 and our girls in all home work4 ,our boys like to take exercise in playing base ball1 and ,i have noticed that when the base ball clubs of white young men from the towns around come in to play ball with them1 the white young men get beaten2 or when they try their speed with our boys in foot races1 they also get beaten4 ,and it seems to me that if our young men can be rightly instructed1 they are sure to make good progress4 ,it has been my work to teach our scholars in the ,bible4 ,they come from many different tribes4 ,some are ,titon ,sioux1 some ,grosventres1 some ,poncas1 some ,arapahoes1 some ,yanktons1 some ,brules1 yet all learn to read the ,bible in our ,santee dialect1 and the past year ,i have been much pleased because of their interest in it4 ,often they ask so many questions that we don't get on very far with our reading4 ,it seems to me that the best way to train up a people is to begin with the children4 ,it is like this3 ,once ,i pulled up a little seedling tree a foot high1 and planted it near my house1 where ,i watered it and cared for it4 ,when the dogs scratched it over1 or the oxen trod on it1 ,i straightened it up again4 ,then ,i drove down a strong stake beside it1 and ,i tied it up in whatever direction it was crooked4 ,now1 after ten years1 it is a tall1 straight tree4 ,so it seems to me that if we take the children and bring them up straight1 we shall have an upright nation1 and that by ,god's ,word we shall make them truly upright4 ,i have been thinking also how we should train our people in benevolence4 ,we must train the children4 ,i have a little girl1 to whom ,i gave a red cent and wished to teach her something4 ,so ,i asked her to what she would give it--to the sick1 or for the preacher1 or for sending missionaries8 8,what do they send missionaries for80 she asked4 8,to teach the people ,god's ,word who have not heard it10 ,i answered4 8,but what will one cent do80 she replied4 ,said ,i1 8,if one hundred little girls should give a cent each1 it would make a dollar40 ,my little girl had learned to sing and play a little on the organ4 ,when the young men came in1 they would ask her to sing for them2 but after this she would answer1 8,i will if you will give me a cent40 ,when she had laid by five cents1 ,i asked her if she was going to buy candy or nuts with it4 8,no10 says she1 8,i am going to give this to ,mr4 ,singing

village1 where ,mr4 ,jones was just then preaching1 and confessed his fault4 8,i was not afraid of what they threatened to do to me1 but when they began to persecute my mother ,i could not bear it40 ,the case which has most deeply interested me and called forth my earnest prayer is that of a ,chinese physician in ,marysville4 ,i made his acquaintance about two weeks ago1 on my recent visit to that mission4 ,he has attended our school for more than a year1 and is one of the most faithful of the pupils4 ,he shrinks from no service by which he can help on the work4 ,he is well read in ,chinese--perhaps beyond any of our brethren1 and is regarded as specially skillful as a surgeon after the ,chinese ways4 ,he is a very substantial looking man1 with a fine head1 a pleasant face1 and a demeanor marked at once by modesty and strength4 ,he is greatly interested in the study of the ,bible1 and1 but for one hindrance1 would doubtless be a member of the ,association1 and would1 perhaps1 have presented himself for baptism4 ,i sat down by his side and asked him what he thought of ,jesus4 8,i believe in ,jesus ,christ10 was his emphatic reply4 8,but how much do you believe in him80 ,i asked1 and then proceeded to illustrate real faith by the confidence which he would wish his patients to repose in him--a confidence which would lead them to abide implicitly by all his directions4 8,i believe in ,jesus ,christ just as ,i would wish my patients to believe in me10 was his reply4 8,what1 then1 is in the way of your becoming an avowed and active ,christian80 ,he turned to our helper1 ,loo ,quong1 and talked to him at length in ,chinese4 ,loo ,quong interpreted to me4 8,it is the woman10 he said4 ,this woman he had pitied as she told him of the abuse she suffered at a brothel in ,san ,francisco1 and he had bought her from her mistress for #ejj4 ,quite in accordance with the dictates of ,chinese morality1 he had made her a sort of ,american wife4 ,that is to say1 he had his wife and son in ,china1 and this woman was to be1 after a sort1 his wife in ,america4 ,this he now understood to be inconsistent with ,christian character2 but what was he to do8 ,i dare say he was divided in mind somewhat over the #ejj4 ,he could scarcely afford to lose it altogether1 and ,i blush to say that he could doubtless realize the full amount by selling her4 ,but all questions of pecuniary loss or gain apart1 what shall he do8 ,to drop her is to let her fall into a life of prostitution--almost to doom her to it4 ,he might send her to one of our ,mission ,homes for ,women1 but she is not disposed to go4 ,four or five years--as ,i understand it--they have lived together1 and while1 so far as his own comfort or pleasure is concerned1 ,i believe he would give her up1 would it be right thus to dispose of her8 ,it is a knot not easily untied1 a tangle not easily cleared4 ,i have thought that there might come to him such an #8unction from the ,holy ,one1' such an #8abundant entrance into the ,kingdom1' such a clear and uplifting conversion as would resolve all doubts and show a straight path before him4 ,if this might be so1 it seems to me that he would become

,,miss ,d4 ,e4 ,,emerson1 ,,secretary4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,experience ,,of ,,an ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 ,,student ,,teacher4 ,my first time to teach came last ,september1 when ,i was formally introduced to my work in the ,practice ,school4 ,i was allowed to go to the school one morning as a visitor1 that ,i might get the general plan of conducting the classes1 and1 if ,i must say it1 ,i dreaded the beginning more than ever4 ,the second day found me at my post1 determined to do my best4 ,i was delighted with my apparent success that afternoon1 but prejudice compelled me to keep still about it4 ,my surprise was greatest when ,i was told that ,i must prepare these lessons before teaching them1 just as much as ,i did my own lessons4 ,each day the classes were more interesting and pleasing1 every scholar doing his best work1 not because he was obliged to1 but for the simple reason that his teacher as she went along1 instilled the love of study in his mind4 ,this teacher had me prepare each lesson separately1 giving her opinions and suggestions and asking me how ,i would teach it4 ,days and weeks went by rapidly2 each day found me more interested1 each night found me more willing to go over the lessons with the teacher4 ,i would not have you think that ,i taught only one or two studies1 for before my time expired ,i had taught every class in the school4 ,i remembered that when ,i went to school as a child ,i was always glad to have my teacher lay aside the text-book and tell us something of interest about each city and river in geography or about some particular story in the reading lesson1 so ,i endeavored to have a story or interesting fact for each class1 that they might be the more interested and also might remember the particular points4 ,i found out that it is the teacher's duty to answer sharp questions as well as ask them1 for1 in my physiology class especially1 some of the toughest questions ,i ever heard were put to me by those bright children4 ,my geography classes were nearly wild with excitement2 sometimes we would take sea voyages1 and again we would find the homes of different peoples and animals4 ,geography can be made a pleasant1 interesting and helpful study1 and that is what ,i tried to make it4 ,soon my six weeks had gone1 and with reluctance ,i bade the dear little scholars good-by4 ,i think that ,i made happy and lasting impressions on some of the children1 as recent rumors have added to my stock of conceit4 ,about a week after my time of teaching had expired ,i had a new experience2 the teacher falling ill ,i was called upon to take her place4 ,elated with my past success and burning with a desire to teach a whole day by myself1 ,i armed myself with a schedule of classes1 the bunch of keys and proceeded to the school house4 ,most of the pupils seemed glad to have me there1 but ,i could see well enough that their teacher came first in their estimation4 ,devotional exercises over1 ,i announced that their teacher was ill and that ,i hoped they would be good for her sake2 then the lessons commenced4 ,i found it quite different from having to do with only one particular class1 to hear one class in the back part of the room and keep an eye on three dozen curly haired witches in the other part of the room4 ,oh6 how slowly the time went1 how my temper waxed warmer as ,i noticed the various tricks and pranks4 ,but something kept whispering1 8,how often have you made faces at your teachers1 thrown paper and made noises80 so ,i kept down the sharp words that continually came up1 and tried to smile as ,i gently admonished the giggling offender4 ,as it was a rainy day ,i took ten minutes from the recess and let the children write a letter to their sick teacher4 ,when the teacher read them over with me1 you would have laughed could you have seen some of them4 ,in some ,i was spoken of quite highly but in others ,i was reported as doing not so well as their own dear teacher4 ,some letters were composed of straight lines1 as the very little folks also deemed it necessary to write to her4 ,after all there is an indefinable charm for me in teaching1 and ,i mean to go on4 ,every night and morn ,i asked ,god's help1 and through him ,i accomplished what ,i have4 ,i can say that my practice teaching was a source of pleasure and help to me4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,for ,,the ,,children4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,mrs4 ,,tuckers' ,,conversion4 ,it was ,saturday afternoon1 and ,mrs4 ,tucker was very tired4 ,life was hard at best1 only a tedious routine of wearisome duties2 but on this particular afternoon1 the closing of the week's work pressed very heavily upon her4 8,oh1 ,mrs4 ,tucker1 can ,sallie go with us to the mission band80 ,mrs4 ,tucker raised her eyes1 and saw1 standing in the doorway1 two little girls4 8,mission band6 ,i'd like to know what's a mission band80 she demanded sharply4 8,why10 spoke out the bolder of the two2 8it's lot of us children all together1 working and sewing for poor folks4 ,we bring our pennies to ,miss ,may for them1 and she says it's giving to ,jesus4 ,we have just the nicest time2 do let her go40 8,oh1 mother10 and ,sallie's brown eyes looked appealingly into her mother's face2 8please say ,i may--do let me40 ,mrs4 ,tucker slowly folded the garment she had ironed1 and hung it in its place before she answered4 8,no1 she can't4 ,i can give her all the sewing she wants to home1 and we've got nothing to give the ,lord2 he don't give to us4 ,so go along1 and tell ,miss ,may that ,sallie ,tucker's better set to work40 ,when ,mrs4 ,tucker1 the hard day's work at last completed1 toiled wearily up stairs1 she found her little daughter seated upon the top stair1 while about her on the floor1 were scattered all her childish treasures4 8,what on earth1 child10 exclaimed her mother1 8is all this clutter for8 ,what are you trying to do80 8,why1 mother10 chirruped the sweet child's voice2 8,i am looking to find something to give to ,jesus40 8,give to ,jesus6 ,what do you think the ,lord wants of such stuff as this80 8,but1 mother10 she explained1 and her voice grew unsteady1 and the bright eyes filled with tears1 8my teacher said anything we give to him1 he would like it2 and if we gave what we loved best1 it pleased him most4 ,and this is what ,i love most--my wax doll and my birthday book4 ,won't he take it1 mother8 ,can't ,i give him anything80 8,sallie ,tucker60 and her mother's voice was cold and stern1 8you just put this notion out of your head4 ,you don't know what giving to the ,lord means4 ,put this trash away4 ,when the ,lord remembers us with some of his plenty1 'twill be time enough to give to him1 ,i reckon40 ,it was the afternoon for the ,woman's ,quarterly ,missionary ,meeting1 in the ,shadyville ,baptist church4 ,mrs4 ,gray1 the minister's wife1 came to the vestry with a sad heart4 ,she knew too well the character of these gatherings4 ,a few ladies came together1 in a listless1 apathetic way1 a few lifeless prayers were offered1 a little business disposed of1 and the ladies went to their homes wondering why there wasn't more interest in missions4 ,mrs4 ,tucker wasn't in the habit of attending the missionary meeting1 so when she came into one this afternoon1 the ladies present looked at each other in surprise4 ,mrs4 ,gray read the psalm and offered prayer1 and then came the usual dead silence4 ,presently ,mrs4 ,tucker rose to her feet1 and1 in a voice shaken with emotion1 said3-- 8,i s'pose you're all astonished to see me here1 but the truth of the matter is1 ,i've got something to say to you1 which can't half be told in words1 neither4 ,you all know my little ,sallie has been sick2 but ,i don't s'pose none of you know what that sickness has been to me4 ,you see the children wanted her to go to the mission band1 but ,i was tough and cranky1 and dead set ag'in' anything of the kind1 and told her1 in the crossest way1 she couldn't go4 ,she'd heard somethin' about giving to ,jesus1 and laid out her best doll and book2 an' ,i laughed at it1 an' told her the ,lord didn't want her trash4 ,well1 she took sick1 an' got sicker an' sicker1 till my heart stood still with the fear o' losing her4 ,she was out of her head1 you know2 and every time ,i come near the bed1 she'd start right up an' say1 #8,oh1 can't ,i give him anything8 ,don't he want my dolly8 ,o mother1 mother can't ,i go8' till ,i just thought my heart would break in two4 ,everywhere ,i looked1 ,i could see her eyes1 with such a beseechin' look in 'em1 and hear her voice callin'1 #8,mother1 mother1 can't ,i give anything8' till at last ,i went down on my knees1 all broke up like1 and ,i sez3-- 8#8,lord1 ,i'm a poor1 ungrateful sinner1 and ,i've been a-withholding from you all these years2 but if there's anythin' ,i can give you1 won't you please take it8 ,even my little girl1 and everything ,i've got ,i just lay down4' 8,well1 my sisters1 ,i cried an' cried as ,i hain't for years1 and it wasn't all for sorrow1 neither2 there was a great deep joy in it all4 ,an' ,i come here to-day to tell you that ,i just give myself and all ,i've got to the ,lord's work4 ,i'm fairly converted to missions1 and if the ,lord will only take the poor1 miserable offerin' ,i've got to give1 and use me rough-shod in his work1 ,i'd really be only too thankful4 ,why1 my sisters1 ,i'm the happiest woman on earth1 and
