face an unpleasant fact4 ,receipts in ,july last year were a little over #db1jjj4 ,this was unprecedented4 ,it was owing to the special collection taken by the churches ,july #dth for the debt4 ,nevertheless1 it became a part of our year's work1 and those heavy receipts entered into the total4 ,there are now but two months remaining4 ,shall our total receipts be allowed to fall behind those of last year8 ,at the end of ,june we were just about even with last year4 ,but the outlook for ,july is not encouraging4 ,however1 we know that our friends have the money1 and we do not believe they are going to allow us to fall behind4 ,we ask them favorably to consider our request that they make a special effort to lift the watermark of our treasury at least as high as it reached last year1 and1 if possible1 lift it up just a little higher4 99 99 99 99 99 ,in conferring the degree of ,d4,d4 upon ,rev4 ,henry ,hopkins of ,kansas ,city1 and of ,,ll4,d4 upon ,gen4 ,sam'l ,c4 ,armstrong1 ,principal of the ,hampton ,normal and ,agricultural ,institute1 ,williams ,college can hardly be said to have added any special distinction4 ,the college honors itself fully as much as it does these1 her honored sons1 in thus receiving them within the circle of those marked by an expression of her distinctive regard4 ,both of them years before had justly won their spurs4 ,the ,christian public1 a circle wider than any college1 and not apt to be at fault in its judgment1 either1 has for years honored these men because of their works' sake4 ,we are glad1 however1 that ,williams ,college1 their ,alma ,mater1 has been first to voice this wider public sentiment4 ,the ,american ,missionary ,association congratulates the college in what it has done1 because the one1 ,rev4 ,henry ,hopkins1

still gloried in as a monumental evidence of the grand work in which it is engaged4 99 99 99 99 99 ,we call the attention of our readers to ,rev4 ,mr4 ,pond's article1 8,imperium in ,imperio40 ,it is certainly a pathetic appeal to the ,christian women of ,america from the heathenism that has come to us from ,china4 ,it gives a new glimpse into our ,chinese mission work1 and emphasizes its importance4 ,we venture the suggestion that this article would furnish interesting reading at ladies' missionary meetings4 99 99 99 99 99 ,mr4 ,grady's famous speech before the ,new ,england ,society1 if things keep going on at the ,south as they have been1 is likely to become infamous4 ,he asserted for substance that the ,south had come to recognize the fact that in the war the ,north was right1 the ,south wrong1 that the ,negro has the fullest protection of our laws and the friendship of our people4 ,recently1 ,rev4 ,leonard ,w4 ,bacon1 who1 strange to say1 has been for some time pastor of the ,independent ,presbyterian ,church of ,savannah1 ,ga41 preached to his people a patriotic sermon4 ,he emphasized the importance of national patriotism4 ,he eulogized ,washington1 ,lincoln and ,grant4 ,he intimated that in the late unpleasantness the ,south was wrong4 ,the result of all this was an excited congregation1 an excited community1 and the development of such hostility that ,mr4 ,bacon will probably be forced to resign4 ,just a little while before the above incident1 a colored gentleman by the name of ,council was refused permission to ride in a first-class car1 though he had paid for and held a first-class ticket on the ,georgia ,central ,railroad4 ,mr4 ,council laid his grievance before the ,interstate ,commerce ,commissioners4 ,commissioner ,bragg1 of ,alabama1 happens to know the complainant1 and this is the way he testified concerning him3 8,i know ,council well4 ,he is one of the brightest and best of our colored citizens4 ,he is a stanch ,democrat1 and canvasses the ,state at every election for the ,democratic ticket4 ,he is not a man who desires to push himself forward because of any ambition to obtain social equality4 ,he is modest and unassuming4 ,he is a gentleman40 ,on another page1 ,field-,superintendent ,ryder tells us of treatment received on a ,georgia railroad by ,rev4 ,wm4 ,sinclair1 one of our missionaries4 ,it is rather singular that these incidents happened in ,georgia4 ,mr4 ,grady is the editor of the leading newspaper of that ,state4 ,he ought to be able to testify as to its thought and feeling upon the great questions that grew out of the war4 ,it seems to us that by this time he must begin to feel that his speech before the ,new ,england ,society in ,new ,york was a most unfortunate affair4 ,we shall be glad to find out what the ,new ,south is1 but we shall not be willing to take ,mr4 ,grady as an instructor4 ,the question still remains3 ,is there a ,new ,south8 99 99 99 99 99 ,the ,fifth ,annual ,convention of the ,colored ,teachers' ,association of ,georgia was recently held in the ,house of ,representatives ,hall at ,atlanta4 ,upwards of one hundred colored teachers formed what the local press called an 8intelligent and decorous body40 ,the sessions continued for three days4 ,the papers gave full reports of the proceedings4 ,much popular interest was taken4 ,many white people attended4 ,the range of the discussions was wide4 ,the science of teaching in all of its departments was introduced by papers and addresses1 and evoked very general discussion4 ,it was a convention of both interest and power4 ,it was a demonstration1 beyond all doubt1 of the ,negro's intellectual capacity and of his willingness to use and improve it4 ,one of our ,atlanta teachers writing us about this convention says3 8,i wish our ,northern friends could have attended it4 ,i am sure1 if they could have done so1 those who are helping would want to help more1 and those who never have helped would be stirred up to lend a hand in raising up a people1 so many of whom have proven and are proving that they can be raised4 ,certainly those of us here on the field can but feel encouraged and strengthened to go on40 99 99 99 99 99 ,a ,,graduate ,,and ,a ,,porter4 ,there appeared in an ,atlanta paper a few days ago1 a paragraph stating that a young ,negro man of ,atlanta1 who had the best university education1 was acting as a porter in a cotton room1 and that all but two of his class1 perhaps thirty1 had dropped back into just such work as he was doing1 and saying that perhaps a good deal of higher education was wasted4 ,this paragraph has been copied by a large number of papers and is likely to injure the cause of education among the colored people1 and for this reason it seems necessary to call attention to the errors it contains4 ,the young man referred to has not a university education1 but left school during his freshman year4 ,he was not a member of a class of about thirty1 although sometimes when his class recited with one in the normal department1 the two combined probably reached about that number4 ,while he was junior preparatory his class numbered ten1 and when he was college freshman1 eleven4 ,of these eleven1 three went through the course and were graduated4 ,two of these are teaching1 one in ,texas1 and the other as principal of a school in ,chattanooga4 ,the third graduate is employed by a wealthy resident of ,atlanta1 at whose home he always has lived1 as collector of rents1 etc41 and may be said to be 8in business40 ,so1 instead of the young man in question having a university education1 he did not finish his freshman year2 instead of his being a member of a class of thirty1 his class numbered only eleven2 and instead of thirty falling from the sublime heights of university graduates to the low estate of porters in cotton houses1 the three of that class who completed their college course are occupying the important positions mentioned above4 ,unfortunately this instance of misrepresentation is not an isolated case1 but one of a thousand of similar character4 ,the statement that the graduates from colored colleges are all idle vagabonds1 has become too stale to produce an impression any longer when made in the abstract4 ,now what are the facts upon this point8 ,let the published list of graduates from the ,atlanta ,university1 with their occupations1 answer4 ,this school has a classical course of study covering a period of seven years1 for pupils who have completed the common ,english branches4 ,from this have been graduated forty students in ten classes averaging four to a class4 ,this university has also a normal course of four years1 for admission to which the same is required as for admission to the classical course4 ,from this have been graduated in thirteen classes one hundred pupils1 averaging about eight to a class4 ,of the forty graduates from the classical course1 five are dead1 eight are in the service of the ,u4,s4 ,government1 four are pastors of churches1 one is a lawyer1 two are in the theological seminary1 one is engaged in business in ,atlanta1 and the remaining nineteen are teaching4 ,none are unemployed and all are engaged in occupations in which considerable education is required1 and a thorough one is desirable4 ,it ought to be added that two of these graduates are professors in colleges1 one is editing a respectable weekly newspaper1 besides teaching1 and one of those in the service of the ,government has been promoted three times upon merit alone4 ,of the one hundred graduates from the normal department1 six have died1 seventeen are keeping house for their husbands1 one is in a medical school1 one is pursuing a college course1 one is a mail carrier1 one is still living at home1 one is a hired housekeeper1 and the remaining seventy-two are teaching4 ,with reference to putting an education to a practical use1 how many schools in the ,united ,states can show a better record8 ,it may be said that a thorough education is not required to fit a person for a government position1 such as clerks in departments1 postal route agents and letter-carriers4 ,but if such an education enables one who has it to get from sixty to one hundred and thirty dollars a month instead of seventy-five cents a day in the city whenever he can obtain a job1 or ten dollars a month and 8rashuns0 in the country1 it becomes to him an eminently and interestingly practical thing4 ,even in the case of this young ,negro porter1 the gentleman under whom he works says he could hire some one else to do the same work for half his wages1 but he prefers his services at the double cost4 ,if three years of ,latin and two and a third years of ,greek and the mathematics that go with them double the value of the services of a colored youth1 let us challenge studies that are usually considered more practical to show a better record and be careful how we speak sneeringly of higher education4 ,but are occupations for the fullest use of a higher education by colored people limited8 ,they certainly are4 ,a white pastor may minister to a colored church1 a white teacher may instruct colored children1 a white physician may prescribe for a colored patient1 a white attorney may counsel for a colored client1 a white mechanic may employ colored laborers1 a white merchant may serve colored customers1 but in none of these spheres does the rule work both ways except in a few rare instances4 ,so the services of educated colored people in the professions and in business are confined to their own race1 and in that they are crowded by their white competitors4 ,furthermore they are not welcomed to these higher walks of life even among their own people by their neighbors of the more powerful race2 but the general and almost universal public sentiment is in favor of keeping them down4 ,more than this1 many of their own race prefer the services of white lawyers1 physicians1 ministers1 teachers1 mechanics and merchants4 ,under all these adverse circumstances and others that might be named1 it requires great courage and perseverance in a colored youth to complete a full course of study4 ,but should they be encouraged or dissuaded8 ,if the philosophy of civilization teaches anything it teaches that ,nature intended that every man should make the most of himself1 and every race should attain the highest possible development2 and if ,christianity teaches anything it teaches the same lesson4 ,unless some one knows for certain that the ,negro is the descendant of ,ham1 and that the descendants of ,ham have not yet served their time in hewing wood and drawing water1 why not test the virtue of this rather queer theory by trying1 on a small scale1 the experiment of giving ,negroes the opportunity of acquiring all the education their mental capacity is capable of receiving1 and looking on to see what they will do with it1 and what effect it will have upon the race1 and not expect that every individual will be a success or achieve high place among men8 ,as the masses become enlightened the demand for well educated men and women must increase4 ,the 8cornfield preacher0 who depends upon the 8,sperrit0 will step down and out1 and the seminary graduate1 with 8,bible religion0 will take his place4 ,thoroughly trained and equipped colored lawyers and physicians will conquer the prejudice that now exists among their own people against them1 and will conquer it the more easily if they are better prepared for work than their white competitors4 ,all this need not come about in one generation4 ,we can transmit the work1 with our faith and our hopes1 as a legacy to our children4 ,but1 however divergent the views of different people may be upon these questions1 there certainly is no immediate occasion for a howl against the higher education of the ,negro1 for there is not enough of it to feed the flames of a respectable controversy4 ,only a fraction of the so-called universities south of ,washington open to colored students have a collegiate course of study1 and the entire number of graduates from such a course can be expressed by two ciphers and a small significant figure4 ,what are a hundred or two of college graduates among six or seven millions of people8 ,the shades of ,hahnemann himself might echo the question4 ,t4 ,n4

foreign missions1 has been pretty much dispelled by contact with foreign races at our own doors4 ,we find that they are intensely human1 and that the task of saving them is intensely real4 ,the enchantment which comes of distance is simple commonplace and matter of fact when the object is near at hand4 ,hence the danger1 now to be apprehended1 is that of disgust1 or of indifference4 ,indeed we are not sure that the feeling has not taken on a stronger form1 and might not now be called hatred1 or scorn4 ,if it be not one of these1 what name shall we give to the feeling towards the ,chinese on the ,pacific2 towards the ,indian1 driven from his hunting grounds and chased to the death by our soldiery2 towards the ,negro1 whipped and shot by midnight raiders1 unprotected by the government he helped to save1 and left in his ignorance1 his poverty and his animalism by ,god's people1 on whom he is cast for enlightenment and elevation8 ,how shall we see the vastness and urgency of the work for these races with such repugnances and disgusts meeting us on the very threshold8 ,moral ideas are of slow growth1 and churches and communities turn to new objects of sympathy and labor reluctantly and sluggishly4 ,while we hesitate and wait1 the probability is that things will take shape and pass beyond our control2 or1 at best1 that we shall but partially secure results which are now fully within our reach4 ,at this moment the churches of ,america hold the key to the conquest of this world for ,jesus ,christ6 ,will they hold it a generation hence8 ,not unless they take advantage of their position to win these races to ,god before they are absorbed into the world1 and are thus lost as a regenerating force with which to elevate the unsaved millions of mankind4 ,suppose1 in our supineness1 we see the ,chinese driven back into heathenism2 the ,indian turned over to the soldiery for extermination1 or a deeper barbarism2 the ,negro wrested from his rights1 and unlifted from his passions1 weaknesses and enthralments of mental and spiritual darkness3 is there any reason to believe that the opportunity will ever return when it will be possible for us so completely to control1 guide and mould them as we now can8 ,we are in jeopardy1 therefore1 of making the most fearful mistake in ,christian ethics and in ,christian practice4 ,if these races pass from our hands uneducated and unsaved1 the world will charge us with the commission of a crime against humanity itself4 ,now we can throw upon these fields1 if we will1 men enough to take possession of them in the name of ,christ4 ,now1 we can raise up out of these races the laborers to carry our learning1 our art1 our faith1 to all who speak the same tongue1 and to all in whose veins bounds the same blood4 ,to this work ,providence manifestly calls us--to do it is to walk with ,god1 we verily believe4 ,but whether the churches see it1 or wish to see it2 whether they are more ready to walk in their own light than in the light which shines from heaven1 ,i cannot answer4 ,i can only say the sun shines1 and we have the eyes to see4 ,if we miss the ,divine plan and method it will not be for lack of light1 but the mistake will be none the less sad1 and the misfortune to the world none the less direful1 because the ages may not undo it4 ,from such a peril may the good ,lord save his people1 and open their eyes that they may see6 99 99 99 99 99 ,,obituary4 ,,rev4 ,,sidney ,,hamilton ,,dale1 pastor at ,florence1 ,ala41 died ,june #ahth1 and was buried at ,talladega1 ,june #beth4 ,mr4 ,dale was graduated from

of our ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 pastors1 before a class just graduating from one of our ,southern institutions1 proves that in educational matters this pastor was of the fourth class according to the ,arabic classification4 ,the text of the sermon was ,philippians iii1 #ac-ad1 and the preacher spoke as follows1 according to report in one of the local papers3 8,there are important lessons in these words of the ,apostle ,paul for you4 ,in finishing the course here you have only made a beginning4 ,the real work and the prize are ahead4 ,a foundation has been laid on which you must build1 patiently1 carefully1 wisely4 ,healthy spiritual and intellectual life are characterized by progress4 ,this is the touchstone1 like a shining light1 shining more and more unto the perfect day4 ,education is the full development of the man1 and we know that development is a gradual1 almost imperceptible process4 ,it is the leading out of the powers and capabilities which he may possess4 ,you do not educate a man when you simply tell him what he did not know1 but you do educate him when you make this knowledge imparted a part of himself1 thus causing him to feel what he ought to feel--conscious power and manhood4 ,education which does not make a man more manly and independent1 is a decided failure4 ,it means growth4 ,it is a man's duty to grow4 ,remember1 then1 that you have not apprehended--for what you must apprehend or lay hold on1 is ,christian character and manhood in its highest sense40 ,such manly and discriminating counsel coming from a graduate to other graduates of his own race1 proves that it is safe to appeal to the results in proof of the value of higher education among the colored people of the ,south4 99 99 99 99 99 ,most refreshing news comes to us from a far-off church in ,texas4 8,last ,sabbath10 writes the faithful pastor1 8was a high day for the church here4 ,thirteen united with us1 and many others were greatly revived4 ,meetings of intense interest are still being held1 and many are coming forward for prayers and consecrating themselves to the ,lord40 ,a revival in midsummer6 ,what a surprising phenomenon in religious work at the ,north1 but not so surprising for the ,south1 for there most earnest ,christian work is often done during the heated days of summer4 ,the pastor who reports this encouraging work has charge of three churches1 and travels every week some fifty miles by wagon in order to fill his appointments4 ,he regrets his inability to visit all the stations in his field regularly at present1 on account of the great interest at this one point and the imperative demands there are upon him for special services here4 ,he begs the prayers of his brethren to whom he writes1 and may ,i not ask1 through these ,notes1 for the prayers of a much larger circle than those reached by his letter8 99 99 99 99 99 ,these ,notes seem to be a scrap-bag1 or a sort of patch-work quilt1 made up of bits gathered from different letters4 ,let me add one more as illustrating two things3 first1 the extreme self-denial of many who are contributing to the work of the ,a4 ,m4 ,a41 and also as illustrating the high appreciation of this self-sacrifice on the part of those who are doing the work in the field4 ,a teacher whose economy in traveling expenses had been so marked as to call for commendation1 writes3 8,it seems to me that we are in honor bound to be more prudent in the use of ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 money than in the use of our own4 ,some of the money given for the work in the ,south comes from very humble people4 ,i have heard of a poor woman in ----1 who earned her living by washing and scrubbing1 yet saved out of her scanty earnings a half cent a day for the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 ,it would be a shame to any one to spend such money carelessly40 ,there are noble heroism and self-denial on both sides of the line which divides the two classes of those engaged in the work of the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 ,when the new ,acts of the ,apostles is written1 it will include in its records not only the ,pauls and ,peters who have gone out into this great ,southern field1 but also the ,tabithas 8who are full of good works and alms-deeds which they do0 in their own homes4 99 99 99 99 99 8,where is the ,new ,south80 ,i repeat the question asked by the editor of this magazine last month4 ,report just reaches us that ,rev4 ,w4 ,a4 ,sinclair1 while traveling with his bride1 has been violently and brutally put out of a first-class railway coach and forced into a 8smoker10 although he held a first-class ticket which he bought of the regularly appointed agent of the road4 ,i do not know the circumstances connected with this new outrage1 but ,i do know ,rev4 ,mr4 ,sinclair1 and know him to be a quiet1 unostentatious1 unobtrusive ,christian gentleman4 ,there

women did themselves and their ,alma ,mater much credit in their addresses and essays4 ,the missionary sermon was preached on ,sunday morning by ,rev4 ,david ,m4 ,harris1 ,d4,d41 editor of a ,presbyterian organ in ,nashville4 ,dr4 ,harris1 who is a ,southern gentleman1 with much feeling referred to the wrongs endured by the colored people in this country1 saying that he was heartily ashamed of their treatment in the past1 but that he had rather be the wronged than the perpetrators of the wrong4 ,the ,doctor was much pleased with what had been accomplished by ,fisk ,university during the trying years of her eventful history for the elevation of the ,african race in this country1 and1 through them1 on the ,african continent4 ,the baccalaureate sermon in the afternoon1 by ,pres4 ,e4 ,m4 ,cravath1 ,d4,d41 commanded the closest attention2 and at the close1 the ,president's very feeling address to the graduates1 four young men and two young women1 was very impressive4 ,the music provided for the services during the day by ,prof4 ,spence and the ,mozart ,society was of the highest order4 ,the ,rev4 ,dr4 ,f4 ,a4 ,noble1 of ,chicago1 arrived on ,saturday1 and seemed to have taken in all round about him during his stay1 visiting classes in all departments under examination4 ,the exercises of the ,normal ,department of the ,university were richly enjoyed1 degrees being conferred on six young men and two young women4 ,the addresses and essays were thoughtfully conceived1 timely1 and well delivered2 and to one who1 nine years ago1 was graduated from the ,university1 showed marked evidence of advance4 ,while one member was delivering his address1 his fellow-townsmen were electing him to a position in their school on a salary of #ge per month4 ,on ,tuesday the ,alumni associations of the ,university held their anniversaries1 addresses being delivered by ,mrs4 ,ava ,brown ,dismukes1 class of '#gg1 ,normal1 and the ,rev4 ,albert ,p4 ,miller1 of ,new ,haven1 ,conn41 class of #gh1 ,college4 ,mrs4 ,dismukes' subject was 8,local ,missions40 ,she vigorously enforced the duty of graduates1 wherever they may be1 to make of themselves missionaries for the upbuilding of the race4 ,the ,rev4 ,a4 ,p4 ,miller spoke on 8,the duty of the hour10 and his address was listened to attentively throughout4 ,dr4 ,noble emphasized ,mr4 ,miller's remarks as to the ,negro's lack of sufficient moral courage to know and assert his rights4 ,at the close of the ,alumni meetings1 ,gen4 ,clinton ,b4 ,fisk and wife put in their appearance and were heartily applauded1 and of course a speech was called for and received with wonted enthusiasm4 ,wednesday1 beautiful and clear1 came1 bringing ,commencement ,day4 ,teachers1 students1 friends and old graduates marched in procession from ,jubilee to ,livingstone ,hall4 ,the exercises began at #aj ,a4 ,m4 ,music was grand4 ,addresses and essays gave evidence of deep thought and careful preparation4 ,dr4 ,noble1 in his afternoon speech1 said he never heard them excelled in any college1 not even in dear old ,yale4 ,six received the degree of ,b4,a42 some of them having been in the institution fifteen years1 and among those who had been longest connected with the ,university was ,miss ,mary ,e4 ,spence1 only daughter of ,prof4 ,a4 ,k4 ,spence1 whom ,i found at ,fisk on entering1 seventeen years ago4 ,dr4 ,noble's address1 8,christian ,socialism10 was timely1 and had a ring in it that thrilled the hearts of all who heard it4 ,we who were privileged to meet and hear this noble man and minister of ,christ cannot and will not soon forget him and his visit to ,fisk4 ,after degrees had been conferred1 ,gen4 ,fisk delivered one of his characteristic speeches1 thanking and blessing ,god for ,fisk ,university1 with whose life he had been associated for more than twenty years4 ,he was proud of its history and of the work done by its band of noble men and women and students1 and urged graduates to be something4 ,master's degrees were conferred on ,w4 ,r4 ,morris1 now teacher in ,fisk2 ,g4 ,k4 ,mc,ilvaine1 of ,st4 ,louis1 ,mo41 and ,dr4 ,a4 ,a4 ,wesley1 recently graduated from medical school at ,chicago4 ,what impressed me most was the desire expressed by the alumni of ,fisk to see their ,alma ,mater permanently endowed1 and an intention to work in the future among themselves and former students to this end4 ,the alumni have already pledged one per cent4 of their annual income toward an endowment fund1 and as a result several hundred dollars have been realized1 and are now invested in a ,nashville bank4 ,the ball was again started a-rolling at ,commencement dinner1 ,dr4 ,noble leading off1 followed by ,prof4 ,spence1 with #aj each for the class of '#hg1 and the amount ran up1 swollen by contributions of students1 to about #aej1 and ,gen4 ,fisk said he knew a gentleman in ,new ,york who would double the sum subscribed on that occasion4 ,this gentleman is doubtless ,gen4 ,f4 ,rev4 ,a4 ,p4 ,miller was appointed by the college alumni as corresponding secretary to work up the endowment fund among the alumni and former students1 and it is to be hoped that friends of ,negro education whom ,god has blessed with means will turn their attention toward this ,university1 whose teachers and students have done so much for the mental and moral regeneration of the ,south and the ,negro race4 ,fisk ,university must be endowed1 and we her sons and daughters1 who intend doing what we can in this direction1 most sincerely trust that friends of years gone by will not forget1 in the distribution of what ,god hath given them1 this institution1 which has all these years depended solely on ,god and a charitable public for its existence and a continuance of its blessed work4 ,may the richest blessings of heaven come down on every one1 whatever his or her creed1 white or black1 who will help to permanently endow ,fisk ,university4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,commencement ,,at ,,talladega ,,college4 ,,by ,,president ,h4 ,s4 ,,de ,,forest1 ,d4,d4 ,talladega's seventeenth ,commencement began ,friday1 ,june #ajth1 with exercises of the lower grades from the ,cassedy school1 and ended with the oration1 essay1 and a wedding at the ,alumni meeting the ,thursday evening following4 ,between these dates were the sermon before the graduates2 a missionary sermon by ,secretary ,powell1 of ,new

graduates from the ,normal and ,theological departments4 ,it was a large bill of fare1 we thought well served1 and many were at the table4 ,the attendance all through was excellent1 the house being usually crowded1 and often the overflow was very great4 ,the different examinations1 it was conceded by all1 gave evidence of thorough study and solid attainments4 ,certainly thoroughness is constantly sought1 and those who visit the college bear witness to good success in securing it4 ,two1 new this year1 graduated from the ,theological and thirteen from the ,normal department4 ,all are professed ,christians1 are exemplary in life1 and go to their work with excellent preparation4 ,tuesday afternoon was given to inspection of the industrial training4 ,a display was made of the girls' work in cutting1 sewing and repairing2 of what the young men had done in blacksmithing1 carpentry and cabinet-making2 while samples of cobbling were walking all around4 ,students were seen painting1 wood-working1 draughting2 some were type-setting1 form-making1 and at press-work4 ,the garden1 farm1 wood-saw and feed-mill1 stock and barns were examined4 ,all our visitors are impressed with the results already secured in industrial training1 and some are relieved who feared that the brain1 if it gets much of a start1 will paralyze the hand1 forgetting that the hand must be inapt till there is a trained head to give it cunning4 ,the mid-winter series of meetings1 both at the college and the two mission chapels1 were blessed to several conversions4 ,young people have been schooled in a vigorous ,society of ,christian ,endeavor4 ,mission ,sunday-schools and neighborhood prayer-meetings have been carried on with growing interest4 ,the different benevolent societies have had their claims presented in turn2 something has been given to all2 and if the offerings have been small1 they have1 it is believed1 been weighted with prayer4 ,important repairs1 so far as means are afforded1 are to be made by industrial students4 ,board is now to be made cheaper1 and1 with1 no less attention to fundamental branches1 more is to be done in developing college studies2 and theological training1 a strong point from the beginning1 is still to be kept in the foreground4 ,at the close of another good year1 the college looks hopefully towards the future4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,commencement ,,at ,,tougaloo ,,university4 ,whatever else we may have or fail to have at our annual ,commencement time1 we always expect rain1 and we are rarely disappointed in this particular4 ,this year rain was so greatly needed1 and had been so long devoutly wished for1 that it was one of our causes of rejoicing4 ,however1 the showery character of the weather prevented our having the usual full attendance on ,commencement ,sabbath2 but by ,commencement day we had many visitors from a distance1 who1 with our school family and people from our own vicinity1 filled all the space of our new chapel--not quite so closely as it might have been packed1 but comfortably full2 the largest attendance being had at the concert1 ,wednesday evening1 ,june #a4 ,these concerts grow in excellence and in favor from year to year1 and our choir has1 besides1 won some modest laurels1 singing outside the ,university1 which it has worn as modestly4 ,our ,sunday-school is always delightful1 and nothing else is ever permitted to take its place4 ,at the close of this year we had the pleasure of disposing of seventy dollars of ,sunday-school money4 ,forty dollars were voted to missionary work in ,africa1 twenty-five to library books1 and five to the ,state temperance lecturer of ,mississippi4 ,a larger average attendance than ever before was reported4 ,on ,sunday afternoon a ,home ,mission ,institute was held4 ,a list of topics was presented two weeks beforehand1 but no set speeches or prepared papers were given4 ,the young people1 led by ,president ,pope1 did nearly all the talking1 and it was good to hear the earnest and practical way in which they discussed such topics as these3 8,what can we do-- 8,to secure the better observance of the ,sabbath80 8,to introduce good reading matter into the homes of the people80 8,to make our industrial training do home missionary work80 8,by what means can we best promote the interest of the people in schools1 ,sunday-schools1 missions1 temperance1 personal and social purity80 8,what societies shall we seek to organize1 or shall we combine all these aims in ,societies of ,christian ,endeavor80 ,in the evening ,president ,pope delivered the sermon to the graduates1 speaking with even more than his wonted force and fervor in view of his farewell to this field and the transfer of his labor to the mountain work in ,tennessee4 ,besides the oral examinations of ,monday1 ,tuesday and ,wednesday1 there were black-board drawings and displays of written work in each room1 so that those who passed through might see something of the work of each grade4 ,there were also industrial exhibits of the young ladies' work1 and work from the shops4 ,col4 ,power1 of the ,state ,board of ,visitors1 spoke of our new school-house and shops themselves as being a most gratifying industrial exhibit1 having been so largely the work of our apprentices4 ,on ,wednesday afternoon the black-boards in one of the large school-rooms were seen to bear these scrolls1 in dashing capitals3 8,welcome1 ,alumni60 and 8,there's no place like ,home40 ,and presently about a score of ,tougaloo graduates1 with teachers and friends1 were gathered to listen to an address by ,mr4 ,j4 ,n4 ,granberry1 one of the very first class graduated here4 ,he said1 in beginning1 that he had decided to take for his theme 8,that which most men try to shirk1 namely3 #8,duty4'0 ,he then spoke of the duty of the sons and daughters of this institution to themselves1 to their school1 to their people1 to their country1 to the world at large1 basing all upon the thought of duty to ,god4 ,at a business meeting1 next morning1 of the ,society of the ,alumni1 ,president ,pope pledged funds with which to erect1 within two years1 an ,industrial ,cottage for ,girls1 and the ,alumni pledged funds for the furnishing4 ,this is with a view to placing our girls' industries more nearly on an equal footing with those for young men4 ,in the meantime our good friend1 ,mr4 ,ballard1 of ,new ,york1 has again come to our rescue and made it possible to set the enterprise of girls' housekeeping on foot at once--that is1 next year--in a small way1 as we can with our present accommodations4 ,an unusual number of graduates were present at ,commencement1 and enjoyed their own separate dinner and 8the olive branches0 about the table4 ,there were never so many babies at ,tougaloo before1 and a well-behaved and promising little company we thought them1 upon the whole4 ,may ,god bless the little ones and make them every one burning and shining lights in ,his kingdom6 ,our graduating class was small this year--two young ladies from the ,elementary1 and a young man from the ,higher ,normal4 ,the exercises were good4 ,we have always listened with pleasure and profit1 each recurring year1 to our annual address1 by whomsoever delivered1 and faithful and eminent men have thus favored us2 but never have we experienced greater delight in this part of our service than this year while being addressed by that grand1 large-hearted1 eloquent divine and stanch friend of the colored people from ante-bellum days1 the ,rev4 ,dr4 ,c4 ,k4 ,marshall1 of ,vicksburg4 ,he seemed not at all to address himself to colored people as such1 but from a glowing heart to pour forth universal truth for universal humanity1 in the most genial spirit1 counseling our young people as young people anywhere might rejoice to be counseled on the threshold of active life4 ,after so prolonged a 8feast of reason10 the mortal bodies demanded refreshment1 and the afternoon was far spent when all had been served4 ,then good-byes were spoken1 students and visitors departed1 and a sort of lonesome quiet settled over ,tougaloo2 but the chosen motto of our graduating class looks down in letters of unfading green from over the rostrum1 8,life is earnest10 and carries our prayerful thoughts out to the army of young workers who1 in their several homes1 schools and places of labor1 we trust are earnestly endeavoring to walk in the footsteps of our blessed ,master and 8overcome evil with good40 ,j4 ,k4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,gregory ,,institute1 ,,wilmington1 ,n4,c4 ,our closing exercises this year partook more of the nature of a ,commencement than heretofore4 ,this is the second year only that our school has turned out graduates from any of the higher courses4 ,from the class of ten comprising the elementary normal class1 seven--five young men and two young women--were graduated4 ,one other young man1 who failed to pass on account of being absent teaching during a part of the year1 and who is working hard1 determined to make up the lost studies before leaving the city1 will probably succeed and be granted his certificate during the summer4 ,the exercises were held on ,thursday evening1 ,may #bgth1 in the church instead of in the hall1 in order to get a larger room4 ,it was needed1 the largest number being present that were ever assembled within the walls of this beautiful building4 ,the exercises consisted principally of orations and essays by the members of the graduating class1 interspersed with singing1 all of which were rendered in a highly creditable manner4 ,in addition to these were recitations by the school of the #bc;d ,psalm1 a ,scripture catechism learned during the year1 and a missionary colloquy beautifully rendered by girls from the different classes1 representing1 by their dress1 many of the heathen nations4 ,another and a very interesting feature of the evening's entertainment1 was a half-hour address by ,rev4 ,geo4 ,s4 ,smith1 pastor of the ,congregational ,church1 ,raleigh1 ,n4,c4 ,he was introduced to the audience as a colored man who had been trained in the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 schools1 and a noble specimen he is1 as an orator1 as a scholar1 and as a man4 ,he chose for his subject1 8,encouragement10 from which he delivered an address replete with sound practical thoughts and advice4 ,a better behaved1 more attentive audience scarcely ever gathered than that at our ,commencement4 ,we feared that they might not like these exercises as well as those of the usual exhibition order1 but many said this was the best exhibition we ever had4 ,everything passed off nicely1 with nothing to mar the enjoyment of the evening4 ,as we looked at the people before us1 we thought3 8,how could any one in this ,christian land have ever said1 #8,these niggers have no souls'2 or1 #8,you can't educate a nigger to make anything of him'80 ,even at this late day we hear these or kindred expressions4 ,i tell you1 friends1 if you were thrown with this people as we teachers are1 you would soon almost forget that they are colored4 ,please don't forget that they are here to stay1 #g1jjj1jjj of them1 and they need your help to rise from their despised1 neglected condition4 ,they are surely marching onward1 but much1 very much1 yet remains for the ,christians of our land to do4 ,our enrollment for the past year has been #bhe1 but the average attendance has not been quite up to the usual mark1 owing to sickness1 8hard times10 etc4 ,death has entered the school1 taking away two of the number1 both youths of special promise4 ,our workers have never been more untiring in their efforts to advance the cause of temperance and morality4 ,a flourishing ,band of ,hope1 taking in nearly every pupil in the three lower departments1 has been doing its good work throughout the year4 ,the society for the older ones1 not strictly confined to the school1 has also been doing its work4 ,white ,cross societies have been formed1 and without doubt will prove of great help to their members4 ,the ,band of ,mercy belonging to the ,first ,primary ,division should not be forgotten4 ,the school prayer-meeting has been encouraging1 and considerable time has been taken up in the study of the ,scriptures4 ,,geo4 ,a4 ,,woodard4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,indians4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,closing ,,exercises ,,at ,,santee ,,normal ,,training ,,school4 ,a beautiful feature of the ,commencement season here at ,santee was the communion service of last ,sunday1 at which time six young ,indian men came forward from among their companions and publicly united themselves to ,god's people6 ,we call them boys1 but they are not boys2 they are old enough to realize the position they now occupy1 and it has come to them only after the long1 hard struggle which seems always to insure earnest lives for the future4 ,most beautiful of all was the baptism6 ,tears rolled down their cheeks as they bent for a blessing from the white man's ,god and their ,god4 ,the eyes of the teachers1 who had prayed and labored so earnestly for this very occasion1 were filled to overflowing4 ,five different tribes were represented by these boys3 ,mandan1 ,ree1 ,assinaboine1 ,yanktonais and ,titon4 ,two of the young men are the sons of chiefs still in their blankets1 who1 recognizing the great needs of their people1 are urging their sons on to more earnest study1 so that they may come back as missionaries to those who wait for them as for deliverers4 ,it would seem enough of an achievement that these scores of ,indian boys and girls have been brought out of the superstition1 the unbelief1 the savagery of their tribes1 into the customs1 manners and religion of civilization1 even if the work stopped there2 but the three days following the communion ,sabbath have shown such results in regard to a growth as well as change of mind1 that to one seeing the work for the first time it is simply marvelous4 ,it is one thing to sit in an ,eastern audience and listen to the most earnest recital of the needs of1 and work among1 the ,indians1 and to say1 8,o1 yes1 the needs are very great2 the work is glorious2 we fully understand your solution of the #8,indian problem'2 we agree with you and aid you60 7while in a day the needs are forgotten1 and the work is overlooked74 ,it is another thing to stand here on the ground and listen to the silent appeals of these hundreds of thirsty human souls--appeals that are all the stronger because of their utter helplessness4 ,another thing is it to stand and behold the work already done1 and the change already made6 ,to see with our own eyes is to wonder and believe1 in such a way that we can never forget4 ,would that all men might not only hear1 but see6 ,on ,friday1 the #bdth1 began the yearly examinations of the ,santee ,normal ,training ,school4 ,teachers and scholars were alive to the duties placed upon them1 and the end of the seventeenth year found all active as ever4 ,the recitations extended throughout ,friday1 ,monday and ,tuesday1 and visitors from the ,agency and surrounding towns were made welcome4 ,the school-rooms1 thrown open together1 were well filled during most of the sessions4 ,especially interesting was the map-drawing and accompanying recitation by the older geography students4 ,the recitation showed that an ,indian may have as clear and correct an idea of the formation of this earth and its divisions into hemispheres1 countries1 etc41 as any white boy4 ,the maps were accurately and admirably drawn4 ,the language lessons were novel1 and showed good work on the part of the teachers4 ,stories were read to the students which they were asked to re-write in as good ,english as possible4 ,the following from a boy brought into the school last fall1 is a good illustration of the way in which they think and speak in ,english3 8,we get all our silk from a little creature called worm4 ,the little creature is green color4 ,she lay number of eggs and then died1 and they have never seen their children and father40 ,music is by no means drudgery to the ,indians4 ,passionately fond of it1 they practice with patience1 and the results have been more than satisfactory4 ,considering the lack of all discipline in their natures1 the examinations this year1 both in vocal and instrumental music1 have been remarkable4 ,those thousands in the ,east who heard1 last winter1 the singing of the ,santee quintette1 can easily believe that this is true4 ,gymnastics have been practiced as a means of teaching accuracy and quickness of thought4 ,the precision acquired by the students shows that it has been a good discipline1 and would do credit to any school4 ,the recitations in mathematics were good4 ,the work in algebra deserves special mention4 ,one thing is very evident in studying the school work here2 that is1 that while in everything requiring simple memory the ,indian is fully equal to the white boy1 perhaps more than equal1 his reasoning faculties are much behind1 on account of the lack of such faculties in the generations of his ancestors2 so mathematical work requires patient plodding1 month after month1 for each step gained4 ,there is very great need of such discipline among this people1 and it is one of the most difficult things in this work of education and ,christianization4 ,twenty minutes were given on ,monday to the workings of a model normal class in botany4 ,it was most unique1 carried on wholly by the advanced students4 ,they showed clearly the most approved manner and methods not only of teaching1 but also of learning4 ,the whole was skillfully and understandingly done4 ,tuesday evening was devoted to a literary entertainment4 ,space allows only of a word or two in regard to it4 ,a former graduate of ,santee1 who is now one of its teachers1 read an essay on 8,civilization0 well worth repeating4 ,he began with the earliest known civilization before ,christ2 came down through the centuries with examples proving ,christianity to be the mainspring of modern civilization1 ending with a touching picture of the angels of ,god looking down upon this1 the greatest nation of the world1 and watching anxiously to see it turn a listening ear to the plea of the poor ,indian for this very knowledge of ,god1 which he realizes is his only salvation1 his only path to the civilization for which he longs4 ,beautifully pathetic were the words in which he spoke of our common brotherhood and of the longing of his people for better things4 ,on ,wednesday morning the exercises opened with a battalion drill1 and later1 time was given to an exhibition of the industrial work of the students4 ,the blacksmith1 carpenter and shoe shops held proof of good solid work on the part of the boys2 while the needle-work of the girls and small boys was exceptional4 ,the talent for free-hand drawing is very general among the ,indians1 and the collection of specimens was good4 ,the exercises closed on ,wednesday evening with a social gathering in the large dining hall4 ,there were present all the boys and girls of the school1 the teachers1 employees1 and many visitors4 ,blanketed ,indians mingled with the rest1 and many nationalities were represented4 ,it was a novel company1 but all were happy and glad4 ,with the close of the evening1 ,santee finished a successful year4 ,very early on ,thursday morning nearly a score of the students were busy with preparations for departure4 ,in the quiet of the dawn some of us heard the sound of music1 most unusual at this hour2 and one of the teachers venturing to the chapel1 found the young men holding a meeting for prayer4 ,it was their own idea2 they had waked one another quietly for it4 ,it was the surest safeguard against the temptations they were going out to meet4 ,this single incident shows better than words the missionary spirit pervading the whole school4 ,and so1 to-day1 with the departure of the students1 goes out the gospel influence of ,santee--far ,north into ,canada1 ,east into ,minnesota1 and ,west into ,montana1 never to diminish1 but to grow and spread until the white man's ,god shall be indeed the ,god of all the ,indians4 ,what is true of the advance of the pupils of ,santee is indicative of the advance of the whole people4 ,there is surely a bright day coming for the ,indian4 ,,mrs4 ,,chas4 ,w4

underlying it has long been known to us on this ,pacific slope1 and especially in ,san ,francisco4 ,on ,sunday1 ,june #eth1 among seven ,chinese who were baptised and received to ,bethany church1 was one young woman about fifteen years of age4 ,she was the second female ,chinese received to our fellowship1 for out of more than #abj of that nation whom ,i have baptised1 all but two have been males4 ,this young woman is remarkably beautiful in person1 pleasing in her ways1 and interesting in character4 ,her father is in ,china4 ,her mother1 quite in accordance1 perhaps1 with the moralities of ,chinese heathenism1 had taken to herself another husband for the time being1 and had gone to ,arizona to ply her trade1 the nature of which ,i do not certainly know1 and therefore will not suggest4 ,to raise funds she had pawned this girl for #bej1 but had paid #ajj on her debt4 ,a very estimable ,chinaman1 not a professed ,christian1 but one of whom we have hoped much1 knowing the parties and hearing that little ,ah ,yung was being harshly treated1 advanced the balance of the debt and took possession of the child4 ,he placed her in the family of our helper1 ,jee ,gam4 ,thus she became known to the lady teachers in our ,central ,mission1 one of whom went up-stairs each evening to the apartments occupied by ,jee ,gam's family1 to give her a lesson1 and also 7as always7 to speak to her of ,christ4 ,at first indifferent and even hostile1 she softened at length1 and began to wish that she might become a ,christian4 ,with this softening of the heart towards ,christ1 there rose1 of course1 an abhorrence and dread of the destiny which1 according to heathen customs1 awaited her4 ,she did not1 however1 at first open her heart fully to her teacher1 but said that she would like to earn some money1 and to work for wages in some ,american family4 ,a place was found for her which1 as being a little remote from the city1 was likely to be a safe refuge4 ,but when the time for her removal came1 unexpected obstacles were interposed4 ,jee ,gam1 while quite willing to have her go1 felt that it would be neither honorable nor safe for him to deliver her to any one except the man who entrusted her to him2 and this one shrunk from the responsibility of letting her go where it might be difficult for her mother to resume possession of her4 ,meanwhile the case became more urgent because of a report that her mother would soon be in ,san ,francisco1 for1 with her arrival1 all possibility of legal protection for the child would be gone4 ,miss ,jessie ,s4 ,worley1 the principal of our ,central ,school1 suddenly cut the knot by causing herself1 with no one's consent except that of the child1 to be appointed her legal guardian1 and she holds her under such protection now4 ,the day after ,ah ,yung's baptism1 ,i think it was1 the mother appeared4 ,entreaties proving vain1 she sought by other methods to bring her daughter under her own control1 or else to get from some one the coin she was supposed to be worth2 for such a girl1 just budding into womanhood1 in our ,chinese matrimonial market1 is said to be worth from #ejj to #a1ejj4 ,last ,saturday the ,chinaman who had befriended ,ah ,yung appeared at my study4 ,it was with great difficulty that he could maintain his self-control1 though he is a man of strong and steady nerves4 ,his lips quivered as he talked1 and his athletic frame often trembled4 ,the mother had appealed to the ,six ,companies1 and his life was at stake4 ,since then1 as ,i have been informed1 a meeting of the representatives of the ,six ,companies has been held1 and our friend was summoned to appear before them4 ,he was given till to-day 7,june #agth7 to restore the girl to her mother--an act entirely beyond his power4 ,meanwhile1 the ,high-,binders were already on his track1 and he scarcely feels safe even in ,oakland and in his own employer's house4 ,he will probably be obliged to flee1 perhaps to some point far ,east1 for he will not be able1 even if disposed1 to surrender the dear child to the fate to which1 in her mother's hands1 she would be doomed4 ,this has brought closer home to me than ever before the fact of an imperium in imperio in our ,chinese communities4 ,it stirs one's blood to think that this young man can make no effective appeal to our ,government against this secret tyranny4 ,it may very likely be that if he should be murdered1 his murderer1 if convicted1 would be hung2 but this is at best a cold and shadowy comfort in the present emergency4 8,a good argument1 this10 some one avers1 8for hustling the whole brood out of the land60 ,but in so doing we should not help ourselves at all1 and we should hustle them back into deeper darkness and severer cruelty4 ,a good argument1 rather1 as

are they interested in following the students during vacations to their homes and among the people on the plantations4 ,witness the following extracts from the correspondence of one of our matrons3 ,i think you would be more surprised and delighted to make a tour of our ,boys' ,hall1 as ,i did one evening a few weeks before school closed1 than to go through the ,ladies' ,hall1 because you might not expect so much of the young men4 ,i must say1 the absolute cleanliness1 order and quiet that reigned as ,i went around in the time of evening study1 was more than ,i expected4 ,nearly every room had its pictures1 every one its little case for books1 some a window full of plants1 and all the ordinary conveniences spick and span1 with the beds beautifully made up4 ,some rooms1 especially those of the apprentices1 were full of ingenious little contrivances which they have made themselves1 and so1 of course1 take double pleasure in4 ,their matron kept a diligent eye for something to criticise1 and1 sure enough1 some of their books were wrong end up1 and she asked the boys if they expected people to stand on their heads to read the titles4 99 99 99 99 99 ,the comfort1 convenience and neatness of our plain little rooms1 where the girls1 and equally the boys1 are required to have 8a place for everything1 and everything in its place10 form by painful contrast one of the special trials of our young people when they go out to cabin life in their teaching and other vacation work4 ,after they have learned to love the new way1 it is very hard for them to have no room to themselves1 no facilities for bathing1 and small chance to display the good taste they have learned to use in the arrangement and care of their personal belongings4 ,one of our older girls1 who keeps a gem of a room here1 felicitates herself on having a room to herself where she boards1 even though tucked up and the walls full of other people's clothes1 a saddle1 and sundries4 ,another of our girls passing through her first experience of 8going out10 wrote a wofully homesick letter1 saying there was no place to hang up or lay down anything where she was staying2 that her trunk had to go under her bed1 and after she had made her morning toilet she couldn't even find room to put down her comb and brush1 but had to haul out her trunk and put them back into it4 ,we expect to hear a more cheerful song after her school fills up and she becomes busy and interested1 for she is really a very energetic girl1 practical and positive4 ,we have written advising her to get her brother1 who is skillful with tools and teaches near enough to visit her on ,saturdays1 to put up some shelves and other conveniences in her school-room1 to make that as homelike as possible1 have her sewing there1 and gather her girls in to learn to sew1 crochet1 etc41 if practicable4 ,this brother is one of our ,biblical class1 and already beginning to preach4 ,he had a tramp of a hundred miles or so after school closed1 looking for work for himself and others1 back from the railway in the more inaccessible regions1 where the schools are not snapped up so quickly4 ,in writing of his search1 he said3 8,i have had what some would call a hard time1 but ,i have enjoyed it1 and ,i know that the ,lord is with me40 ,blessed assurance6 99 99 99 99 99 ,all the girls write1 sooner or later1 to their matron after going home4 ,some of the letters are rather amusing4 ,one harum-scarum little miss1 who made no end of care when here1 after being home a fortnight seems to have been visited with some sense of her shortcomings1 and wrote3 8,if ,i live ,i am coming back in the fall1 and try to be a better girl than ,i was before40 ,she refers to the text of ,scripture that had been given them all as a watchword1 and says she often thinks of it2 then1 as if to confer a like benefit upon her kind friend1 she opens her ,bible at random and copies3 8,and he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes and shave off all his hair and wash himself in water that he may be clean40 ,after two or three more of similar tenor1 she says3 8,think of these verses as long as you live1 and also of me10 and ends all by this new rendering of a familiar passage3 8,be not overcome evil with good1 but overcome good with evil40 ,encouraging1 isn't it8 99 99 99 99 99 ,,receipts ,,for ,,june1 #ahhg4 99 99 99 99 99
