,,financial ,,appeal4 ,in the last number of the ,,missionary we stated that our receipts for the four months of the fiscal year to ,january #ca had been #hc1hic4ci1 or an advance over last year of only #ai per cent41 instead of #ajj1jjj1 or the advance of #bc per cent4 asked for at the ,annual ,meeting4 ,special calls for finishing new buildings1 useless unless finished1 necessary repairs on old buildings1 etc41 compelled us to make appropriations to the amount of the #bc per cent41 but the falling off in anticipated receipts left a deficit of #af1ajg4 ,we had hoped that ,february would show an improvement1 but1 with regret1 we are compelled to say that the receipts for that month are about #a1jjj less than for ,february1 #ahha4 ,we needed #abe1jjj to meet the total demands due ,february #bh1 and our receipts at that date are #ajj1jde4ig1 a deficiency of about #be1jjj4 ,to us there is the choice between a debt and retrenchment2 with our patrons1 whose servants we are1 is the opportunity of relief4 ,we dare not make a debt2 we are held to this by our pledge to our friends1 and by our past bitter experience4 ,retrenchment is a distressing alternative4 ,it will check the progress along the whole line of our work4 ,the increased receipts of the past two years have given to the colored people a new impulse of hope and activity4 ,new buildings have been erected1 schools have been enlarged1 new churches formed1 and the spirit of self-help has been awakened in an unwonted degree in the schools and the churches4 ,retrenchment will check all this4 ,years may be required to regain it4 ,importunate calls for the continuance of the extended work crowd upon us1 and denial must create discouragement1 and this will be intensified by the disasters of the late floods4 ,to a struggling people1 such a drawback is an incalculable evil4 ,in their behalf we appealyes1 earnestly and importunately we appealto our friends to come forward to their aid promptly and generously4 99 99 99 99 99 ,we give place in this number of the ,,missionary to communications relating to a week's work among the workers1 which we believe will be of special interest to our readers4 99 99 99 99 99 ,rev4 ,a4 ,e4 ,winship1 of ,somerville1 ,mass41 who was the author of the first concert exercise in behalf of the ,american ,missionary ,association1 has just prepared a second exercise on the same subject4 ,the exercise can be had gratuitously1 with ,jubilee ,songs to accompany it1 on application to ,rev4 ,c4 ,l4 ,woodworth1 #ba ,congregational ,house1 ,boston1 ,mass4 ,we can assure ,sunday-schools and churches that the exercise is one of the best1 and that its use can hardly fail to awaken new interest in the concert4 99 99 99 99 99 ,on another page will be found a very interesting letter from ,mr4 ,ladd1 giving an account of a rebellion among the tribes in the vicinity of ,khartoum that threatens to hinder his progress4 ,a letter of more recent date says that he and ,dr4 ,snow have relinquished the hope of reaching ,fatiko at present1 but that they have made arrangements with the ,government for passage on one of its smaller steamers that will enable them to visit the region of the ,sobat4 ,our explorers manifest both caution and courage1 and we commend them to the prayers of ,god's people4 99 99 99 99 99 ,a ,northern man now resident in ,florida1 and always1 both ,north and ,south1 a warm friend of our work among the colored people1 after reading in our notice of the ,nashville ,conference1 the appeal for another ,theological ,seminary further ,south1 gives the whole matter not only a most cordial1 but practical1 indorsement by pledging himself 8to be one of ten or twenty or fifty to contribute #a1jjj each to make a beginning in the good work40 ,with thanks to our friend for his liberality1 we send forth the question1 ,where are the nine1 the nineteen or the forty-nine8 99 99 99 99 99 8,in those portions of the ,south where the plantations were largest1 and the slaves the most numerous1 they were very fond of burying their dead at night1 and as near midnight as possible4 ,in case of a funeral1 they assembled from adjoining plantations in large numbers1 provided with pine knots and pieces of fat pine called lightwood1 which1 when ignited1 made a blaze compared with which our city torchlight processions are most sorry affairs4 ,when all was in readiness1 they lighted these torches1 formed into a procession1 and marched slowly to the distant grave1 singing the most solemn music4 ,sometimes they sang hymns they had committed to memory1 but oftener those more tender and plaintive1 composed by themselves1 that have since been introduced to the people of the ,north and of ,europe as plantation melodies4 ,the appearance of such a procession1 winding through the fields and woods1 as revealed by their flaming torches1 marching slowly to the sound of their wild music1 was weird and imposing to the highest degree40,from 8,in the ,brush10 by ,rev4 ,h4 ,w4 ,pierson1 ,d4,d4 ,illustration3 ,an old-time midnight slave funeral4 ,two or three second-hand communion sets will be very gratefully received by as many of our needy young churches in the ,south4 ,churches at the ,north changing from their present to better will please take note4 99 99 99 99 99 ,there were twins in this country4 ,one was slavery and the other polygamy4 ,one is dead and the other is threatened as never before4 ,this ,association is proud of the part it took in the extinction of the former4 ,it now extends its heartiest sympathies to those who are determined upon the destruction of the latter4 99 99 99 99 99 ,a postal from one of our schools at the ,south says3 8,we received recently a good-sized box of books and only a few of any value4 ,latin books of ancient date1 ,german1 ,french1 ,spanish1 and ,patent ,office ,reports are of no use to us4 ,please ask our friends not to send such1 as they are only a bill of expense40 ,we have had1 heretofore1 to make statements of this sort in the ,,missionary4 ,we are always thankful for the liberality of our friends1 but we invoke their discretion in giving4 99 99 99 99 99 ,the ,congregational ,year ,book1 just issued by our ,british brethren1 is a document well worthy of study on this side of the water4 ,besides the usual statistics of ministers and churches1 it makes mention of #ai colleges1 #ca new schools1 #cg missionary and other societies1 #da ,congregational institutions1 #dh periodicals1 published by ,congregationalists4 ,it also gives the statistics of #af non-conformist institutions1 one of which is a ,ministers' ,seaside ,homea species of benevolence that would be invaluable to our missionary laborers at the ,south4 ,the record of so much enterprise and work qualifies the reader to appreciate ,dr4 ,henry ,allon's eloquent and powerful discourse on 8,the ,church of the ,future10 which is printed in the same volume4 99 99 99 99 99 ,the death of ,edgar ,ketchum1 ,esq41 which occurred ,march #c1 removes from us a philanthropist and ,christian2 it diminishes the rapidly thinning ranks of earnest ,christian ,abolitionists1 and it takes one who had long been an officer of the ,american ,missionary ,association4 ,mr4 ,ketchum was admitted to the bar in #ahcd2 in #ahda he was made ,commissioner of ,public ,funds for this ,state2 in #ahfa he was appointed by ,president ,lincoln ,collector of ,internal ,revenue for the ,ninth ,district of ,new ,york2 and in #ahfg he was made a ,register in ,bankruptcy by ,chief-,justice ,chase1 which position he held till the time of his death4 ,mr4 ,ketchum early identified himself with the anti-slavery cause1 and was ardent and constant in his endeavors to promote it4 ,his house was fired by the rioters in #ahfc4 ,he was for a long time ,president of the ,board of ,managers of the ,house of ,refuge1 on ,randall's ,island1 to whose interest he gave untiring and uncompensated time and attention4 ,he was ,treasurer of this ,association from #ahfe to #ahgi1 a position of responsibility and supervision1 but not of active duty1 and without salary4 ,he was also the legal counsellor of the ,association for many years4 ,mr4 ,ketchum was a man of fine personal presence1 of very genial manners1 of active business habits1 and a devoted ,christian4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,governmental ,,aid ,,to ,,common ,,schools4 ,,what ,,congress ,,may ,,do ,,and ,,what ,,needs ,,to ,,be ,,done4 99 99 99 99 99 ,rev4 ,c4 ,c4 ,painter4 ,education by the ,state rests upon the sole basis of self-protection4 ,a despotism must stand impregnable1 if at all1 in the strength of its armament4 ,but not so with a republic4 ,it must stand in the intelligence and virtue of its citizens4 ,it were a solecism in logic and common sense to admit the nation's right to manumit the slave as a war measure1 and equip him with the ballot as a reconstructive measure necessary to the safety of the republic1 but deny at once the right and the duty of qualifying him for the duties of citizenship when an understanding of these duties is also essential to that safety4 ,the constitutional right to use the same power1 which is now invoked to qualify the voter for the duty with which the general government has charged him1 has been exercised so many times in regard to less important matters that precedents are not wanting to justify this application of it1 even to one who wishes to know that a thing has been done before he will believe it can be done4 ,whatever criticism may be made upon the use which some of the ,states made of their share of the #bh1jjj1jjj of money distributed from the surplus funds of the ,treasury by the ,act of ,june #bc1 #ahcf1 no one can doubt that it was constitutionally done1 and done by the same discretion and power which would be used in giving aid now to the ,states4 ,and it may be said that the use of this fund so largely by the ,states at their discretion for school purposes legitimates the confident assurance that a fund now given specifically for schools would be wisely and conscientiously devoted to that object4 ,as to the present needs look at the facts3 ,there are in the ,united ,states #f1bci1ieh persons1 ten years of age or over1 who cannot write their names4 ,more than three-fourths of these are found in the old slave ,states4 ,more than one-half of the whole number are colored4 ,if the general government should provide means to sustain a school for this class alone for three months in the year1 at a salary for the teachers of #cj per month for a school of #cj pupils1 it would require the sum of #ah1gai1ieh4 ,of this #ad1ddi1egi would go into the old slave ,states1 #i1ahg1ibb because of colored illiterates1 leaving #d1ifa1feg for the whites1 and #d1egi1dci would go to the other ,states for both black and white illiterates4 ,in #ahgi ,north ,carolina raised for common schools a sum which would give #bj per annum to each school of #cj illiterates 7not school children74 ,how long it would take that ,state to make intelligent and safe voters of her citizens at that rate is matter for sober reflection1 not alone to the politician1 who remembers what the electoral vote of that ,state is for ,president1 but to every citizen4 ,if the government should enable ,north ,carolina to keep up her schools for four months at fair wages1 instead of one month1 as at present1 at such a salary as can secure only an inferior teacher1 it would be something1 but not all that is needed4 ,if such a sum should be given1 ,mississippi would receive as her share of it #a1aai1fjc2 ,new ,jersey1 with nearly exactly the same population1 would receive #aei1gdg4 ,but #iei1ebi of ,mississippi's share would be because of colored illiteracy1 leaving nearly exactly the same amount for white illiterates which ,new ,jersey would receive1 which shows conclusively that it is because of the negro chiefly this help is needed1 and for him1 as a voter1 the nation at large is responsible4 ,in considering the disparity between the sum that would go to the ,south and the new ,states of the ,northwest respectively1 not only must we remember the negro as a factor in the problem1 but also these facts3 ,by the ordinance of #aghg1 by which ,virginia ceded the great northwest territory to the general government on such terms,mr4 ,webster said1 in his great speech on the ,foote resolutionas 8fixed forever the character of the population of the vast regions northwest of the ,ohio by excluding from them involuntary servitude1 and impressed on the soil itself1 while it was yet a wilderness1 an incapacity to sustain any other than freemen40 ,and six days after1 in his reply to ,hayne1 he said1 also1 that 8it set forth and declared it to be a high and binding duty of the government itself to support schools and advance the means of education on the plain reason that religion1 morality and knowledge are necessary to good government40 ,by this ordinance of cession1 ,virginia stipulated that the proceeds from this vast territory should be considered as a common fund for the use and benefit of such as have become or may become members of the confederation or federal alliance of ,states4 ,the other ,states claiming unsettled lands within their territory also ceded their titles to the general government1 which became possessed of the whole4 ,from time to time ,congress has made most liberal grants of this land to the new ,states for school purposes1 so that ,minnesota1 for example1 has realized from her share1 or has the land from which1 at the same rate of sale1 she can realize a fund of #bj1jjj1jjj for educational purposes1 while the old ,states have not had a dollar1 excepting their share in the grant for the endowment of agricultural colleges by ,act of #ahfb1 in which the new ,states as well as the old shared ratably4 ,it may be truly said1 then1 that every instinct of self-preservation demands that the unquestionable right of the general government shall be exercised in using the means at its disposal to meet the great danger which threatens us from the presence and power of ignorant voters2 and that every sentiment of justice to the negro himself as the subject of many wrongs and the possible avenger of them1 and to the ,states themselves1 requires that governmental aid shall be given to the

the day begins4 ,during the day we shall find the students in the assembly room preserving their own order1 a teacher seldom being seen in the room4 ,in the grammar room we shall hear recitations in ,english grammar and composition1 conducted by ,miss ,pelton1 the entire work being made as practical as possible to secure correct speaking and writing4 ,in the mathematical room1 where ,miss

may inspect the neatly-bound papers of a class that has successfully passed its final examination on this subject4 ,in the room across the hall where ,miss ,hamilton presides we shall hear classes in

government we may find in the library4 ,passing now to the model school we see a quiet1 busy room1 with three grades of pupils under the care of ,miss ,cornes4 ,besides the ordinary lessons we hear an object lesson given on some flowers4 ,we notice the skillful use of corn and other seeds by the children as an aid in the practical understanding of numbers4 ,we note that nearly every child in the room can write a readable hand on his slate1 and we are fortunate in hearing ,miss ,miller1 the music teacher1 give her lesson in music4 ,entering now the intermediate school we find about #ej pupils

very near burning the roof of our ,mission-house4 ,nearly all my clothing and bedding were taken down stairs by friends1 but through the providence of ,god not the slightest damage was done to our ,mission4 ,no wonder that my heart overflowed when ,i thought how ,god had preserved us4 ,immediately after reaching home ,i was asked to go with a ,chinese friend to his attorney and do a little interpreting for him4 ,i then went to the ,palace ,hotel to call on ,hon4 ,yung ,wing1 who was on his way to ,pekin4 ,my intention was to invite him to visit our school and speak to the pupils1 for ,i thought a few words from him would have great weight4 ,not being able to see him1 ,i returned home and went out again to do some shopping for our ,chinese ,christian ,association4 ,a few minutes

translated1 and ,i hope that many of our scholars will become new creatures in ,christ ,jesus4 ,singing followed1 and the school was closed with the ,lord's prayer4 ,i wish you could look in upon this

boys who have had their five half days of school and five half days at their trades feel that they have earned a good holiday1 and are not disturbed by it4 ,eleven who are in the advanced classes hurry off to the shops4 ,wild-,cat and ,murie go to the printing office to set up type for the ,southern ,workman2 five are carpenters1 and work on the new desks and benches for the school4 ,chisholm fits uppers on shoe-lasts to help fill a ,government contract4 ,robbie ,conalez goes to the big barn to put it in order and feed the cattle4 ,peters works in the blacksmith shop1 and ,maquimetus fits the spokes in a new set of cart-wheels1 and earns an extra afternoon hour for himself by his good work4 ,meanwhile the girls have gone to their rooms and begun the week's cleaning4 ,the floors are scrubbed1 and the wardrobes and bureau drawers put in order4 ,some of them have cedar boughs1 the boys have cut for them1 and they fasten them upon the walls in pretty and fantastic designs1 tieing them with ribbons and hanging ,christmas cards and bright papers from them4 ,a few make pretty bowers for their dollies1 and perch them in a cunning way among the branches1 where they get loving and admiring glances from the little girls below4 ,then the clothes which have been washed and ironed during the week are laid out1 and the room is ready for the teacher's visit4 ,nobody knows when the ,indian girls would think it worth while to change their garments1 or how they would be laundried1 if it were not for the week's inspection4 ,as it is1 the piles are most of them full and white and neatly folded1 and the rather stolid faces grow eager as they look over the teacher's shoulder to see whether a zero or a five on the record is to reward the work4 ,soon the matron's room is a busy place4 ,girls in all the chairs and girls on the floor1 all manner of rents and rips and holes to be repaired1 and the motherly lady who has done the work many times for her own children and grandchildren1 goes among them busy and patient1 finds patches and pieces1 gives a hint here and a lesson there1 till the garments are whole again4 ,when the morning's work is done1 the lawn in front of ,virginia ,hall becomes a gay play-ground4 ,see-saws and jump-ropes1 balls and croquet mallets are kept busy all the afternoon4 ,a few fortunate girls borrow a boat from one of the teachers and row in the pretty creek4 ,the boys come now and then to the edge of the ground and look rather longingly over the boundaries1 but turn back and find a vent for their spirits in foot-ball and leap-frog and the parallel bars1 remembering that ,washington's ,birthday comes next week and it will all be common ground4 ,the games last till the sun sends its last slanting beams over the creek and the lawn and the six o'clock bell announces that the day of work and pleasure is over4 ,before the shadows of night fall heavily1 the school assembles in the chapel4 ,the hush of worship comes upon the crowded room4 ,the song of praise and voice of petition rise1 and then while all heads bow in silent prayer the burden and pain and desire of #ejj hearts are told to ,him who understands4 ,so another week

professed hope in the ,saviour1 of which number #be were students of our ,university4 ,from our family of boarding students at ,stone ,hall eleven were brought under conviction1 who have joyfully

called4 ,they said they had heard that we had come to found schools and churches1 that they were delighted at the idea1 and hoped that we would commence at once at ,khartoum1 as their children were suffering for the want of education1 there not being a school of any kind in ,khartoum4 ,one of them had formerly given a large tract of land for this purpose1 but it had not been used2 if we would accept it1 it was ours now1 and we might build upon it as soon as we pleased4 ,there is a report current1 which seems to have some foundation in fact1 that there have been serious troubles during the

who wished to escape the payment of their taxes4 ,they finally became obnoxious to the government1 and a detachment of #abj men was sent against them on the island4 ,these were not properly handled and were slain at once1 as fast as they landed4 ,the leader now feared to remain longer on the river1 and crossing over with all the men1 women and children1 who had gathered around him1 he retired to a mountain1 some distance back1 called ,jebel ,geder4 ,it was the policy of the government now to let them alone1 but a new ,governor of ,fashoda having been appointed1 he must needs show his zeal by

intended to make him a ,pasha4 ,he will be a great loss to us4 ,we wanted to send him to ,cairo1 as he was anxious to see the ,khedive4 8,it is difficult to estimate the number of those who have assembled around this fanatical leader1 but probably it is in the vicinity of #a1ejj4 ,we feared that they might take ,fashoda1 and so ,i went down to see about it4 ,i have left troops at ,fashoda1 but the ,sobat is abandoned1 as there is really nothing there worth saving1 except a few straw huts1 and they are welcome to them if they want them4 ,the station of ,kaka is also left without a garrison4 ,the people have become uneasy1 and these events1 taken with the news of the troubles at ,cairo1 have frightened them4 ,we are expecting troops from ,cairo1 but not to put down this muss1 which we hope will all be over before they arrive4 ,we are short of troops at all points1 and need more to protect the country4 ,i would not advise you to go by boat4 ,wait and go by government steamer1 if you go at all4 ,i have just returned from ,fashoda1 and these are about the facts in the case40 ,the above statement does not differ materially from the current reports1 except in the number of the insurgents1 and that has probably been greatly exaggerated in the minds of the people4 ,it must also be remembered that this is the best phase which the government1 wishing to smooth the matter over and hush it up1 can put upon it4 ,the probable number of the insurgents is about five or six thousand4 ,they are now armed with some #fjj ,remington rifles1 besides their own native weapons1 and are complete masters of the country west of ,kaka1 and towards ,kardofan4 ,they are said to have secret agents in ,khartoum1 who send them word of the movements of the government4 ,their numbers are also said to be increasing every day4 ,now1 taking into consideration all that has been stated1 we seem to be shut up to one of three courses1 viz43 #a4 ,to follow the advice of the more timid1 and considering our journey necessarily brought to an end1 to look about here1 learn all that we can1 and then to return4 ,this has been suggested as perhaps our only course by some who wish to display 8the better part of valor40 ,i may say that ,i have all along felt that while things are not as we could wish1 that yet a way would be opened for us to go forward4 ,i cannot bring myself to turn around now and go back1 without at least seeing the ,sobat4 ,we both feel that nothing short of actual danger to life ought to turn us back from our purpose after coming so far1 if we can find the means to go on4 #b4 ,to wait here till a government steamer is sent up to ,gondokoro1 take passage in it and see the country as best we can4 ,the most we can learn about this plan is that no steamer is likely to leave here in less than a month2 that it will take fifty days to reach ,gondokoro1 on account of the sud and other obstructions1 and that it will not be possible to get away from there before the rainy season sets in4 ,the sud is the great trouble4 ,sometimes whole weeks have to be spent in the marshes in one spot1 cutting a channel through4 #c4 ,to get the use of a little steamer in some way and do what we started out to doexplore the region of the ,sobat4 ,the least that we can get a steamer for is said to be #ab a day4 ,we cannot expect to be gone less than a month and do the work well4 ,that would be #cfj4 ,you can understand1 ,i think1 what our perplexity is4 ,our hope now is to arrange it in some way through ,giegler ,pasha to get a steamer at a more reasonable sum4 ,as soon as we can do this1 ,i think we shall go on1 and if we do1 the ,french ,consul1 an able ,french gentleman1 and our ,consul with others1 advise us to ask for a body-guard of soldiers from the government4 ,we need your prayers1 and ,i wish we might have your wisdom in this emergency4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,children',s ,,page4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,ching ,,ling',s ,,passport4 ,,by

objection to trying one80 8,oh1 ,i don't care apin who comes10 answered the poor1 impatient1 suffering man2 and the next moment the doctor left the room as the nurse glided softly in1 and the patient closed his weary eyes4 ,philip ,fairfax was a man of wealth and education1 but his fine fortune had been sadly misused4 ,moreover1 his naturally sound physical constitution had been unwarrantably abused by a hard round of indulgence in dissipation and vice1 which had caused him in his early manhood to fall an easy prey to the dangerous malarial fever so prevalent at certain seasons1 and which now had assumed a malignant form1 rendering recovery almost impossible4 ,just previous to the foregoing conversation1 a consultation of the ablest physicians of the county had been held in ,mr4 ,fairfax's elegant library1 with what result we have already seen4 99 99 99 99 99 8,do you give it up1 ,ching80 8,yes3 me givee up1 but trust ,god still40 8,we tellee you1 it impossible2 college chances not for ,chinese boys40 8,it not impossible with mine ,god4 ,all things are possible with ,him4 ,me only givee up for this term10 was the cheerful reply4 ,the scene was a ,chinese cabin1 scantily furnished1 but extremely neat in its simple arrangements4 ,on lines outside1 handsomely made clothes were drying1 while on the one large piece of kitchen furniture in the cabina huge stovenumerous irons were heating4 ,ching ,ling1 as he was called1 was a great overgrown boy of seventeen1 who had picked up religion1 as his companions grotesquely name it1 at some of the chapel meetings connected with one of our institutions for learning4 ,he was a quaint1 original character1 and could turn his hand to almost anything usefulturn it to good purpose too4 ,he had learned to read1 nobody knew how or when1 and now the absorbing1 irrepressible longing of his heart was to get an education1 at the college4 ,it made no difference how much or how often others ridiculed the eager desire1 there it remained1 and after some laughable banter on the part of his less ambitious associates on one occasion1 as to his many projects and failures in attempting an entrance to those halcyon halls1 his good-natured reply was3 8,oh1 me wriggly in yet1 somehow4 ,you see60 ,ching ,ling was ironing briskly and skillfully when ,dr4 ,wharton's buggy stopped before the door1 and without alighting the doctor beckoned ,ching to come to him4 8,want to earn some money1 ,ching80 asked the ,doctor4 ,ching's delicate hands were instantly held out in mock display of entreaty4 8,would you go into danger for money1 ,ching80 ,the small hands were quickly withdrawn as he replied3 8,me do no wrong for muchee monee80 8,but would you go into a close1 sick room1 and nurse a gentleman who has a dangerous diseasea man perhaps dying with fever80 8,yes1 ,doctor2 me no afraid of the sickness or the fever4 ,mine ,god would go with ,ching2 no ,god1 all danger2 with ,god1 all safee40 8,come on1 then1 ,i want you right away40 99 99 99 99 99 ,the days grew hotter and the fever grew fiercer1 and the requirements of the irritable1 dying man became almost unendurable2 but the ungainly ,ching never flinched as with untiring1 patient hands he waited upon the hard master whose young life was fast burning itself out in the relentless fires of the unyielding fever4 ,mr4 ,fairfax had been fitfully dozing at the close of a weaker1 but slightly more comfortable day1 when1 on suddenly opening his eyes1 he saw ,ching catching a peep into a little1 dark book he had noticed beforeone he had evidently carried about with him4 ,all at once he asked in a thin1 vexed voice3 8,what confounded book is that you're always reading80 ,the slant eyes filled with tears as a hurt voice replied3 8,this mine ,bible1 my ,christ book2 my passport in this book2 this no confound book1 this mine dear ,bible60 8,your passport60 and the thin voice really had the semblance of a laugh it4 8,what kind of a passport1 pray60 8,listen3 #8,there is no other name under ,heaven given among men1 whereby we must be saved4 ,the blood of ,jesus ,christ his son cleanseth us from all sin1'0here ,ching was interrupted3 8,does it say all sin1 boy8 look sharp1 now60 8,yes1 master2 all sin40 8,let me see40 ,a faint ray of light was admitted while the poor weak eyes scanned the page2 yes1 it was there1 sure enough4 ,then the sick man1 roused to momentary energy1 asked questionsa few that night1 more the next day1 until by degrees he learned all the story of poor ,ching's conversion2 his eager desire for learning1 and as he read the ,bible more and more to his now willing listener1 a new light and hope dawned for the sick man4 ,we cannot take space to tell minutely how ,ching cried and rejoiced when one day ,mr4 ,fairfax had a lawyer come and so arrange his will as to handsomely endow the college1 also giving ,chingfaithful boy that he wasa 8chance20 but this was not the best of it4 ,ching prayed so hard1 and was so skillful in his wonderful ministrations at the sick man's bedside1 and the calming1 soothing influence of his passport1 his 8,christ book10 was so blessed1 that1 after all1 the naturally strong physical nature of the man asserted itself1 to the amazement and gratitude of the physicians1 and ,philip ,fairfax lived to be the almoner of his own bounties4 ,and now ,ching ,ling's pointed fingers hold a pen powerful for good among his countrymen1 and ,philip ,fairfax is one of the chief benefactors of the blessed institution whose inmates dearly love the kind ,christian gentleman1 spending so much of his time and money in their interest1 while always in the breast pocket of his coat is a little dark book1 the very counterpart of ,ching's1 containing also the rich
