his interesting journal1 will be glad to know of his safe return and of his excellent and uninterrupted health throughout the entire trip1 which extended about #b1ejj miles up the ,nile to the mouth of the ,sobat1 which is within the territory designated by ,mr4 ,arthington for the proposed mission4 ,persons who have kept themselves informed through the public press of the condition of things in the ,upper ,nile region will be prepared for ,mr4 ,ladd's somewhat discouraging report of the state of the country4 ,the ,arab leader and prophet1 ,achmet1 of whose successful rebellion the papers have from time to time given brief intimations1 ,mr4 ,ladd found to be dominating completely a portion of the very region in which the mission is to be located1 and it was by ,divine interposition that ,mr4 ,ladd was enabled to explore so much of the territory and return safely4 ,intelligence of a startling character received at this date 7,july #h71 shows that ,achmet has achieved another victory over the ,egyptian troops1 more decisive than any heretofore won1 involving the slaughter of #c1jjj of the ,egyptian forces1 which must for the present1 at least1 annihilate the authority of the government in that whole region1 while the condition of ,egypt itself1 likely to become the theatre of a terrible war1 gives little promise that its authority can be speedily re-established in the remote provinces of the ,soudan4 ,a delay1 therefore1 is inevitable in our movements in ,eastern ,africa4 ,in the meantime1 as was originally planned1 ,mr4 ,ladd is endeavoring to marshal a new recruit of colored missionaries for the ,mendi mission1 and expects to accompany them thither at the close of the present wet season4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,john ,,brown ,,steamer4 ,some months ago we sent out our circulars to the ,sunday-schools in our churches1 asking for #aj1jjj1 to enable us to build this memorial steamer for mission work along the west coast1 and up and down the rivers1 in that portion of the 8,dark ,continent0 where there are no roads1 and no beasts of burden1 no horses1 no camels1 no oxen1 not even mules4 ,the need is great4 ,the steamer will save time1 toil1 and human life4 ,inquiries come to us respecting the success of our appeal4 ,we are glad to answer3 ,at this date1 ,july #e1 we have received #e1ebd for the steamer1 and some pledges are yet unpaid4 ,we are also receiving additional remittances almost every day1 and believe that the amount needed will ultimately be realized4 ,but we are anxious to hasten the matter4 ,rev4 ,mr4 ,ladd has just returned from his exploring tour in ,eastern tropical ,africa1 and proposes to visit our ,mendi ,mission in ,western ,africa 7for which this steamer is intended7 as soon as the rainy season is over4 ,we ought to have the full amount for the steamer by ,september #a4 ,a good friend1 in sending some money1 says3--8,why moves the cause so slowly8 ,in looking over the list of donations1 ,i am pleased and grieved2 pleased that so many are interested to give--grieved that so few special donations for this very important object are made4 8,friends of ,africa1 if you could realize as ,i do the urgent need of this steamer to save life and to advance the mission cause1 you would speedily pour in the money for it4 ,it ought to be in service1 doing its greatly needed work this coming autumn4 ,if you will go to ,africa and make one trip 7as ,i have made many7 to the ,mendi ,mission1 in a #8dug out'--a canoe dug out of a log--the distance of more than #ajj miles1 most of the way on the ocean--you will then see and feel the need of this proposed steamer4 ,o1 why does not every ,sunday-school send in #ej1 #bj1 #aj or #e8 ,why do not individuals1 who have in hand a great abundance1 send #ej1 #ajj or #a1jjj1 and so have this noble work accomplished at once8 ,come1 friends of ,africa1 supply the means and send forth this new messenger of mercy1 to cause a great shout of joy to go up from the weary missionaries and from a long-suffering people60 ,who will heed this plea from one who has known the field and suffered much for it8 99 99 99 99 99 ,,our ,,opportunity4 ,we find it in ,kentucky4 ,our ,executive ,committee recently sent their ,field ,superintendent to that ,state for a bit of inspection4 ,as a sample of opportunity we refer to the deeply interesting article in this number from ,president ,e4 ,h4 ,fairchild4 ,the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 has taken up that school and has assumed the support for six months of ,miss ,m4 ,r4 ,barton1 a student of ,berea1 from ,illinois4 ,that school-house1 which is the only one in ,jackson ,county that has windows in it1 will give out a good deal of light among those mountain people4 ,at ,cabin ,creek1 our old ante-bellum battleground1 in the foot-hill country1 the people are building an 8,academy10 with the money subscribed on the condition that there shall be no respect of color4 ,the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 has been asked to lend there a helping hand4 ,at ,williamsburg1 the county seat of ,whitley ,county1 a town sixty years old1 where a church has never yet been finished1 though three have rotted down during the process of building1 ,rev4 ,a4 ,a4 ,myers has returned to his old ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 work1 and has inspired the people to build a church edifice #djfj4 ,he works with his own hands by the side of the citizens4 ,he gets the base-ball club to give an hour a day to the digging and rolling of stone for the foundation4 ,the ,first ,congregational ,church has been organized1 and now the same people are bent upon getting up a high school1 having turned to this ,association for help1 which will be gladly rendered1 negotiation being already on foot to secure the teachers1 who the citizens say must come from north of ,mason and ,dixon's line4 ,this town1 with fine water power and rafting facilities on the ,cumberland1 has already attracted several mills and wood-work factories1 one of which is to make oars for the market in ,europe4 ,the railway that is to cross the mountains to ,knoxville will soon reach this place4 ,out of the mountain country still further back of this1 it is said1 went ,dick ,yates to be the ,war ,governor of ,illinois1 and also its present ,executive1 ,governor ,cullom1 and other notabilities4 ,at another county seat1 which can scarcely be reached on wheels--horseback being the almost exclusive mode or travel2 ,mr4 ,myers and his wife having come seventy miles in this way to the recent ,berea ,commencement--at this place1 ,beattyville1 the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 is to aid a recent colored graduate of ,berea1 ,o4 ,w4 ,titus1 to run his1 the only colored school in the county1 through the school year4 ,in these mountains is our opportunity4 99 99 99 99 99 ,in the ,first ,congregational ,church of ,atlanta1 ,ga41 ,pastor ,kent having led his people into a system of giving1 found that the first response for the ,american ,board1 with envelopes1 brought in #fh1 from two hundred and two contributors4 ,this was preceded by five missionary sermons1 illustrated from a large missionary map1 and by a rousing ,sunday-school missionary concert4 8,do you wonder we are jubilant80 exclaims the pastor4 8,it is interesting1 but not at all surprising1 to observe how giving promotes spirituality4 ,our prayer meetings are full of interest lately1 and this increase seems to date from our recent determination to put our hands to the work of the ,redeemer beyond our own confines4 ,it is delightful4 ,the idea of #8the world for ,christ1' is getting hold of them1 and ,i am confident it will prove the most direct route to self-support4 ,several have expressed to me the conviction that they must not only give for the world1 but that they must do more for the home church40 99 99 99 99 99 ,,change ,,of ,,environment ,,by ,,president ,,wm4 ,w4 ,,patton1 ,d4,d4 ,this is a phrase with which the physical philosophers have made the public ear familiar4 ,the advocates of ,darwin's views have assured us that all the variations of animal form may be explained by the relations of life to environment4 8,natural selection10 as the key to the development of different species1 denotes simply the effect which accompanying circumstances have upon life1 health and the exercise of particular organs4 8,the survival of the fittest10 a companion phrase1 means merely the fact that those forms of life endure which have the most favorable surroundings4 ,and no one can doubt that in the chain of causation1 which links things together in this world1 there is a continual and most important interaction between all life and that which environs it4 ,but may we not ascend1 in our reasoning1 from animal life to human thought and character1 and find the same law operative8 ,as human health1 form and vigor are found to vary with phenomena of climate1 such as heat and cold1 moisture and dryness1 and with geographical location among mountains and valleys1 or on broad plains1 by the sea-coast or in the interior1 so do we not notice that mental and moral development depend upon the outward circumstances amid which one lives8 ,our natures are plastic1 and easily take the impress of objects with which we come continually in contact4 ,education is not merely that from books1 but that also which is received from all manner of surrounding influences1 as they exist in the home1 in social intercourse and in the community at large4 ,we see whole nations continue1 century after century1 on the same low level of barbarism1 because no change occurs in their outward circumstances to bring new forces to act upon them4 ,our ,indian tribes are an illustration4 ,they live1 out on the western plains1 precisely as their fathers did for ages before them2 and thus they will live so long as the modifying influence of civilization does not reach them1 and bring a change of environment4 ,let such a change occur1 however1 and a revolution takes place1 whatever race may be involved4 ,even the most favored nations improve rapidly1 when any external fact comes in1 to change circumstances1 and thus to alter the current of thought and the channel of action4 ,think how much of modern civilization is owing to three things1 themselves external and mechanical1 yet powerfully affecting mind by their incidental effects--the invention of gunpowder1 of the mariner's compass and of printing4 ,but if1 in addition to new inventions and industries1 there be brought in schools and churches1 to operate directly on mind and heart1 the effect is like placing people in a new climate4 ,it is1 indeed1 scarcely a figure of speech1 when we sometimes speak of an intellectual and moral atmosphere--meaning thereby the totality of constant influences in a community1 which affect opinion1 modify character and control conduct4 ,as we breathe the air1 every moment of every day1 thinking little of the fact1 yet continually drawing in health or sickness1 life or death1 so are we unconsciously but most really influenced for good or evil by all that is going on around us2 by public opinion1 social customs1 example of friends and neighbors1 existing institutions1 industries1 amusements1 studies1 reading1 conversation and religious exercises4 ,it is a slow process to raise an entire population or a numerous class of people2 but much may be done rapidly1 if we select some of the young of both sexes and change their environment1 and so prepare them to introduce the leaven of improvement into the mass4 ,thus1 allow colored children to grow up in communities of prevailing ignorance1 superstition and immorality1 where they live in miserable hovels1 see only examples of coarseness and rudeness and hear only a negro dialect1 and they will naturally be like their parents and the neighbors4 ,nor will it be sufficient merely to put spelling-books and readers into their hands4 ,their surroundings are still depressing and degrading4 ,but send some of these youth away to such institutions of education as the ,atlanta1 ,fisk and ,howard ,universities--in other words1 make a total change of environment--and the effect is marvelous4 ,in addition to having access to books1 they go where the entire conception and standard of living is different and elevated2 where religion is intelligent2 where morals are pure2 where manners are refined2 where language is grammatical2 where clothing is whole and neat2 where public sentiment is on the right side of disputed questions4 ,it is1 indeed1 breathing a new atmosphere1 where every breath is health and life4 ,i have watched1 with great interest and satisfaction1 the effect of these incidental influences1 during my five years' connection with ,howard ,university4 ,the revolution which will occur in a rough specimen of humanity from the interior plantation districts--dull of countenance1 and rude in manners and in dress--would scarcely be credited4 ,he finds himself in a new world on reaching ,washington1 and mingling with older students and the city population4 ,new ideas of dress1 speech and behavior come to him daily4 ,chapel exercises1 prayer-meetings and the preaching on the ,sabbath raise his religious conceptions4 ,the novel sights along the streets stimulate as well as interest4 ,the competition of fellow-students arouses ambition4 ,he hears numerous celebrated public speakers1 and1 on ,saturdays1 goes to the ,capitol1 and listens to ,congressional debates1 sees eminent men1 visits the ,patent-,office1 the ,smithsonian1 the ,national ,museum and the ,navy-,yard1 gets an idea of our government and of politics1 and thus is hourly absorbing valuable knowledge at every pore4 ,three or four years of such an environment make a very different man of him2 and all his new ideas he carries back to his home1 and thus becomes a power for good in the community4 ,why will not ,christian people appreciate these facts and amply sustain the ,american ,missionary ,association in its noble work of planting and strengthening the educational institutions which operate to change for the better the environment of the colored race in this country8 ,all improvement must be by an influence from without1 which shall quicken and inspire1 which shall teach and guide2 and there is no such influence comparable with that which comes from the combination of schools and churches4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,temperance ,,text-,,books ,,in ,,our ,,schools4 ,our institutions have always been temperance societies4 ,mr4 ,john ,m4 ,stearns1 ,sec4 of the ,nat4 ,temp4 ,soc41 at its recent annual meeting1 reporting his tour through the ,south1 said that1 as he was talking to the students at ,fisk ,university1 ,prof4 ,spence reported that every student was required to sign the total abstinence pledge or to leave the institution4 ,at ,atlanta ,university1 he found that all of the #caj students had signed the same pledge2 and this is also true of all our other schools4 ,then our students1 as they go everywhere in their vacations1 become temperance propagandists1 organizing societies1 circulating the literature of the reform and securing signatures to the pledge4 ,but1 during the past year1 our ,executive ,committee have thought to take a step forward1 and so have voted to require the use of some temperance text-book in all our schools4 ,mr4 ,stearns found them introduced into many1 and by another year they will be found in all4 ,the ,atlanta ,university has already had ,dr4 ,richardson's ,temperance ,lesson ,book in use for two or three years1 to the highest satisfaction of all concerned4 ,the examination of the class in this book in the presence of the ,state ,board of ,examiners was pronounced by a visitor the best temperance lecture he had ever heard4 ,let such text-books go into all the schools of the ,south1 and they will hasten on a revolution4 99 99 99 99 99 ,the ,roanoke ,collegian1 of ,salem1 ,va41 referring to the ,john ,f4 ,slater ,fund1 says3 8,the most needed right of the negro now is his ability to

could look through our eyes you would not know1 from a formal record of the closing exercises of our school1 how much interest and hope and pathos are crowded into these busy days4 ,on ,sabbath morning1 ,june #aath1 ,president ,ware preached to a crowded audience1 the sermon to the graduating class from the text #a ,tim41 #dth chap41 #hth verse1 giving a forcible presentation of the thought that right doing is profitable in all respects1 for this life4 ,the examinations were continued for three days1 and were attended by a committee of the ,board of ,visitors1 appointed by the ,governor of the ,state1 who1 at the close1 made to him a highly favorable report1 which has been published with his approval4 ,two evenings were occupied by the exercises of the two literary societies of the school1 which were favorably received by good audiences4 ,on ,thursday1 the commencement exercises were held at ,friendship ,baptist ,church1 one of the largest in the city1 kindly placed at our disposal for this purpose1 which was filled with a closely packed audience of about #b1jjj people1 well dressed1 orderly1 attentive1 and evidently having a personal pride in the results exhibited4 ,the appearance and conduct of this commencement audience in successive years affords a good indication of the steadily improving condition of the mass of the people1 viewed with great satisfaction by friends who have opportunities for comparison4 ,a class of twelve was graduated1 ten young women from the ,normal course and two young men from the ,college course1 all of whom presented pieces which received much commendation for their simplicity1 directness and good sense4 ,the annual address was delivered by ,rev4 ,e4 ,w4 ,bacon1 of ,new ,london1 ,conn41 and was a forcible and eloquent plea for self-education1 which was singularly appropriate to the circumstances of the young people just leaving school1 to whom it was primarily addressed4 ,two members of the class which was graduated1 had1 during the year1 been called away from earth1 as well as five from other classes1 being an unusual number of deaths in one year4 ,a precious work of grace was enjoyed during the year1 and more than thirty professed conversion1 of whom fifteen united with the school church4 ,all the members of the graduating class were professing ,christians1 which may also be said of nearly every class which has been graduated hitherto4 ,as an evidence of the increasing favor with which this school and its work is regarded in the community1 there may be appropriately quoted some of the remarks of ,rev4 ,c4 ,a4 ,evans1 of the ,m4 ,e4 ,church ,south1 pastor of a large church in the city1 formerly ,general in the ,southern army1 who spoke at the close of the class examinations3 8,i did not expect to say a word1 but ,i comply with an ,american habit of making a speech whenever called upon4 ,i am a ,georgia man1 and my children are all ,georgia born1 and ,i wish them all to stay here4 ,it is a kindred wish that every one of you may remain a citizen of ,georgia4 ,i also wish that the friends who have come from afar to be your instructors shall not take to themselves wings and fly away1 but shall settle in this grand old ,state1 and their children after them4 ,there is no enmity between the white and colored people in this ,state4 ,there is a growing desire of the white people1 as you will find1 for your welfare4 ,they are anxious that you should have the best in social life1 the best in intellectual life1 and in moral life1 to which you can attain4 ,the ,state is benefited by good citizens1 and ,god is glorified by true manhood4 ,i have looked upon these exercises with great interest as a fellow citizen1 expecting to live with you and to come into contact with you in a thousand ways4 ,i am glad for all ,i see and know40 ,remarks in a similar strain were made by several other prominent gentlemen in attendance4 ,,extracts ,,from ,,report ,,of ,,the ,,state ,,board ,,of ,,examiners4 ,we do not believe that we have ever seen better teaching than we find done at the ,atlanta ,university4 ,evidences of the same thoroughness appeared in all grades of the grammar school and throughout all the classes of the higher departments4 ,we were particularly struck with one feature in the method of instruction adopted in this institution1 and that was the accuracy of the language in which every question was required to be answered4 ,the answer is not only to be given correctly as to substance1 but it must be expressed in words both grammatical and appropriate2 if not1 the pupil reciting is asked to correct it1 and if unable to do so1 it is passed to others of the class4 ,your committee noticed another feature in the management of the university to which they desire to call your attention as worthy of high commendation1 and that is the manual labor training that is here afforded in connection with the literary course4 ,every student1 male and female1 is required to work an hour each day at some useful labor1 either on the farm connected with the institution1 or in the household and kitchen department4 ,the tendency of this regulation is not only to greatly reduce the expenses of board1 etc41 but to induce habits of industry1 and impart valuable practical information for everyday use in after life4 ,the farm1 including the beautiful grounds immediately surrounding the college buildings1 contains about sixty acres1 and is under the direction of a thoroughly practical and energetic gentleman who keeps everything in admirable order and brings out the best possible results4 ,specimens of field and garden crops1 embracing a great variety of grasses and forage plants1 cereals and vegetables1 were exhibited to your committee1 evincing great efficiency in this department4 ,samples of the culinary art were also shown us1 and if our eyes and our palates did not deceive us1 they reflected great credit on those who prepared them for our inspection and entertainment4 ,special contributions have been obtained for the establishment of an industrial department for instruction in the more useful trades4 8,stone ,hall10 the gift of ,mrs4 ,valeria ,g4 ,stone1 of ,malden1 ,mass41 is in process of erection4 ,other new buildings are projected for the coming year4 ,at a recent meeting of the trustees of the university1 a resolution was passed to institute forthwith a post-graduate course of two years for graduates of the normal department4 ,its privileges are to be open to those who have maintained a high standard in the regular course1 and who give promise of efficiency in work for which this special training is designed to fit them1 and the preference is to be given to graduates of one or more years standing4 ,this course1 while not neglecting intellectual culture1 by providing for courses of reading and for attendance upon recitations and lectures1 and for practice in teaching1 is to provide special training in nursing the sick1 sewing1 cutting and making of garments1 care of household affairs1 the inauguration and management of mission work1 and in general whatever training seems likely to prepare young women of culture for the responsible duties of actual life4 ,at the same meeting the trustees directed the executive committee to select as soon as practicable a suitable person as principal of this course of study1 who shall also be matron of the family of young women who may be gathered for this purpose2 and they are further directed to prepare plans for the suitable accommodation of such a family4 ,the trustees also voted that an industrial department for boys be at once organized1 which shall provide for training in carpentry and other mechanical work2 and the executive committee were authorized to make the necessary arrangements4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,talladega ,,college1 ,,talladega1 ,,ala4 ,,by ,,prof4 ,,geo4 ,n4 ,,ellis4 ,the prelude of our twelfth anniversary exercises came ,friday night1 ,june #i1 in the form of a school exhibition by the lower departments1 consisting of declamations1 recitations1 concert exercises1 etc4 ,this was something new and drew a large and appreciative audience4 ,the participants came attended by a throng of relatives and admiring friends1 and the programme passed off in a manner creditable to all4 ,in lieu of the usual baccalaureate sermon ,sunday morning1 ,rev4 ,edward ,w4 ,bacon1 of ,new ,london1 ,conn41 delivered a missionary discourse4 ,to his mind1 a missionary was not a religious drummer nor a mere itinerant preacher4 ,he was a settler1 locating in a community1 growing up with it1 molding its moral1 social and religious life4 ,to the young colored men of ,america1 educated and consecrated1 no field offers grander opportunities for distinguishment1 in these respects1 than does long-neglected ,africa4 ,mr4 ,bacon said his object was to induce some one to become a missionary4 ,his able and practical sermon will not be barren of results2 and when the call for workers shall come1 ,talladega will respond with her quota4 ,at night ,president ,de ,forest gave one of his practical talks to the students about to go out for the summer4 ,it was crowded with good advice1 plainly put1 and will not be forgotten4 ,monday1 ,tuesday and ,wednesday forenoons public examinations were held in the various departments4 ,they seem to have passed off satisfactorily to examiners1 examined and visitors4 ,one of the latter who spent his whole time in seeing and hearing as much as possible said3 8,i have not been into an examination which does not reflect credit on teacher and scholar alike4 ,everything shows that most excellent work has been done40 ,theology is still the high water mark of scholarship1 but the 8small ,latin and less ,greek0 of the institution are gradually rising and are not to stop short of the line of a full college course4 ,there is a good deal of 8back-water0 waiting to be turned into these channels as soon as they are properly enlarged4 ,wednesday afternoon occurred the prize declamations and essays4 ,the evening entertainments for the week were1 on ,monday night1 a scholarly and uplifting address by ,rev4 ,mr4 ,bacon upon self-education2 on ,tuesday night exercises by the young people's literary societies1 which showed commendable efforts in the way of self-improvement2 on ,wednesday night1 the usual church prayer-meeting1 one of the most enjoyable of all our ,commencement gatherings2 and on ,thursday night1 a concert by the ,musical ,union who rendered the ,cantata of ,esther1 the ,beautiful ,queen1 to the satisfaction of a densely packed house and with an income to the ,union of nearly fifty dollars which they pledged for a new piano4 ,talladega sends out no graduates this year4 ,though according to previous standards1 students were ready to receive their diplomas both in theology and normal studies1 they voluntarily chose to spend another year in further preparation for life's work4 ,the exercises of ,thursday morning consisted of eight orations by representatives 7four each7 from the college preparatory and theological departments4 ,in discussing standard and current themes1 they showed a grasp of thought1 a clearness and vigor in presentation certainly far from discreditable to any public rostrum4 ,we were proud of them4 ,a little further mental discipline in mathematics and the classics and they will be well prepared leaders of their people4 ,at these various exercises more than the usual number of visitors were present4 ,during some of the examinations in the chapel the room was fairly filled with listeners4 ,upon the platform were leading white citizens of the town1 and some from abroad4 ,among the latter were ,rev4 ,o4 ,w4 ,fay and ,judge ,buckley1 of ,montgomery1 who spoke most warmly of what they saw and heard4 ,talladega ,college looks back upon the year just closed as the most prosperous one in her history4 ,it has seen new buildings reared1 others repaired1 greatly needed improvements made1 and a fair beginning in the way of endowments2 to the many friends throughout the ,north whose gifts have caused these things to be1 we are unspeakably grateful4 ,it has seen most thorough work done in all departments of study1 more than a score of its pupils confess a newly-found ,saviour1 and much activity in mission and ,sunday-school work on the part of the more advanced4 ,already many applications for another year are coming in4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,straight ,,university1 ,,new ,,orleans4 ,,by ,w4 ,s4 ,,alexander1 ,d4,d4 ,our commencement began properly with the examination of the ,law ,department1 and the graduation of eleven law students4 ,the list of graduates from this department now numbers #ej names1 of whom #dc have been awarded their diplomas within the last six years4 ,it is an interesting fact that of our #ej law graduates #ce have been white and #ae colored4 ,side by side they have been gathered in the lecture rooms of the ,professors1 and have met in the crucial test of the final examination4 ,the ,faculty is admirably constituted both on account of legal attainments1 and real genuine interest in the young men4 ,four lectures are given each week4 ,the prospects for the incoming class are excellent1 both as to numbers and quality1 the white element predominating as usual4 ,the great need of this department is a reference library4 ,many of the students are poor and law books are costly4 ,now the professors1 though at great inconvenience1 permit the students to consult their standard works4 ,when we have a building devoted to the three professions1 the law library should become at once an accomplished fact4 ,this year in the academic department we had no graduating class4 ,our anniversary exercises have been somewhat out of the usual order1 but thoroughly interesting and successful4 ,perhaps never have we met the popular taste more fully than this year4 ,the old graduates were invited to return and take part in the first public anniversary meeting of the ,alumni4 ,seven accepted the invitation and entered heartily into the project1 and others sent the cordial expression of their regrets4 ,the meeting was held in ,central ,church4 ,a large and intelligent audience was present1 and entered fully into the spirit of the occasion4 ,the orations were exceedingly well written and delivered4 ,the oration of ,rev4 ,a4 ,e4 ,p4 ,albert1 a graduate from our classical and theological department1 on the subject1 8,senator ,jones' speech1 or is there to be a war of races80 was a surprise even to ,mr4 ,albert's friends1 on account of its brilliancy1 its vigorous thought and sustained eloquence4 ,it is to be published in full in one of our city papers1 and ,i wish all unbelievers in the mental capacity of the ,african would read it and pass upon its merits4 ,wednesday noon occurred the ,literary ,exhibition in the ,university ,chapel4 ,what a storm raged without6 ,it seemed as though the flood-gates were opened4 ,we had it almost entirely to ourselves1 only a few good friends venturing to face the tempest4 ,the orations1 compositions1 dialogues1 and select readings evinced decided talent in writing and speaking4 ,in the evening a concert was given at the church1 with a few literary exercises4 ,the musical programme was judiciously arranged1 and was thoroughly appreciated by an audience of six hundred people4 ,the year has marked an advance in scholarship1 and the ,university has acquired a firmer foothold in the city and state4 ,if we are quick to discern and seize upon opportunities of enlargement1 the immediate future will furnish abundant room for the employment of busy hands and devoted hearts4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,tillotson ,,institute1 ,,austin1 ,,texas4 ,,by ,,judge ,c4 ,t4 ,,garland4 ,the ,tillotson ,collegiate and ,normal ,institute has closed its first full year since the building of ,allen ,hall1 and its ,texas friends are full of congratulations on the progress made4 ,the ,baccalaureate ,sermon on ,june #d1 by ,president ,w4 ,e4 ,brooks1 was listened to by a large and attentive audience1 and was peculiarly happy in its adaptation to the occasion1 and to the financial1 intellectual and spiritual interests of the colored race4 ,on ,june #e and #f1 occurred the examination of the classes4 ,listening to these students1 and considering the time they had spent at school1 one could not see that they exhibited that mental inferiority so often attributed to their race in the past4 ,let one instance suffice4 ,i was so much struck with the solid intellectual qualities of one young man1 a coal black negro1 that ,i sought him out and advised him to study law4 ,conversation with him elicited the fact that his only schooling of account had been during the last five months at the ,institute1 while his attainments would indicate a good common school education1 such as is ordinarily the work of ten years4 ,illustration3 ,,view ,,on ,,bayou ,,at ,,houston4 ,on the evening of the #fth1 a crowded audience being in attendance1 there were declamations and readings1 with vocal and instrumental music at suitable intervals4 ,then came addresses by ,rev4 ,dr4 ,e4 ,b4 ,wright1 a trustee of the ,institute1 and by other prominent clergymen and educators4 ,the evening closed with a general reception in which visitors1 students and faculty gave themselves up to a happy hour of congratulations and whole hearted social intercourse such as colored people so much delight in4 ,on the #gth inst41 essays1 declamations1 readings and music were listened to with unwearied attention by another large audience1 including many distinguished visitors1 who stayed from the beginning to the end of the exercises4 ,the oration by ,a4 ,s4 ,green1 on 8,the ,possibilities of ,our ,people1 and how they may be realized10 was received by the audience with special interest4 ,at the conclusion of the exercises1 addresses were delivered by ,gov4 ,o4 ,m4 ,roberts1 ,ex-,gov4 ,e4 ,j4 ,davis1 and other leading citizens4 ,all the speeches were of deep interest1 and whether from ,democratic or ,republican lips1 they were alike full of appreciative good will toward the noble work done by such agencies as the ,american ,missionary ,association4 ,in particular1 ,i wish space and memory would permit me to write out for publication1 every word uttered by ,govs4 ,roberts and ,davis1 but their words on paper would convey but a feeble impression of the interest and emotion exhibited by them4 ,as might have been expected from an audience largely colored1 the addresses were listened to with breathless attention1 except at intervals marked by hearty1 though decorous1 applause4 ,a noted feature of the exercises was the good elocution of the students1 resulting mainly from the brief training received at the ,institute4 ,to one accustomed to the old time thick and indistinct plantation pronunciation1 the change seemed indeed wonderful4 ,those who had seen the students at the beginning and at the end of the term remarked a striking improvement in their personal appearance4 ,intellectual1 moral and spiritual culture had impressed its stamp upon their countenances and was exhibited in their deportment4 ,throughout the year much interest has been shown in the ,tillotson literary and temperance societies4 ,their meetings have been numerously attended by the people of ,austin and its vicinity1 which has added to their zest and usefulness4 ,it need not be said that the moral and spiritual welfare of the students has all along been closely looked after4 ,if any one of them of fair ability does not go out from the ,institute a thoroughly trained ,sunday ,school teacher1 it will be his own fault and not that of ,president ,brooks4 ,happily1 both students and outsiders have shown great interest and appreciation in their attendance on the ,sabbath services at the institution4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,normal

number of interested parents and friends came in to inquire and see for themselves what their children had been doing for the year4 ,after listening to various recitations and exercises1 they expressed themselves highly gratified4 ,friday evening the annual exhibition took place in ,memorial ,hall4 ,about #djj were present4 ,no special attempt at decoration was made1 yet the stage was not wanting in floral adornments1 two large1 tall baskets of handsome flowers standing one on each side4 ,the wall back of the stage was prettily and tastefully decorated with green boughs1 moss1 and a little white drapery4 ,at a little past eight o'clock the school marched into the hall1 and took seats as near the front as possible4 ,the children made a good appearance1 being neatly and some of them very prettily dressed4 ,the programme consisted of about twenty parts1 interspersed with good music4 ,the selections specially attractive were the cantata1 8,grandpa's ,birthday10 three recitations upon the subject of temperance1 a concert declamation entitled 8,a ,leap for ,life10 given by seven young men1 and the recitation1 8,auction ,extraordinary40 ,some of the pieces given by the little folks were very pleasing4 ,the selections were all well rendered1 and won many complimentary remarks from those present4 ,rev4 ,mr4 ,dodge being called upon1 responded with a few well-chosen words appropriate to the occasion1 after which the benediction was pronounced4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,le ,,moyne ,,institute1 ,,memphis1 ,,tenn4 ,,by ,,prof4 ,a4 ,j4 ,,steele4 ,the close of the year brings us also to the close of the first decade in the history of ,le ,moyne ,institute4 ,the founder of the school has gone to his reward and his works do follow him4 ,the institution which he founded is but at the beginning of its usefulness and of its possibilities4 ,this year we graduate a class of ten from the full course 7four years71 the largest class yet sent out1 and the fourth4 ,thus far the graduates of the school1 excepting one only1 have taught almost continuously since completing the course4 ,the ten members of the present class will teach2 some of them expect to pursue their studies further at ,fisk ,university1 after working a year for the means4 ,the public exercises at the closing this year were unusually interesting1 judging from the attendance1 not only of colored people1 friends of the graduates1 but also of prominent white families of the city4 ,formerly gentlemen of this latter class only came1 now quite as many ladies as gentlemen are seen in the audience that fills and overflows the church4 ,i do not suppose that of the many who read this account1 even those who look back to the joys and excitements of 8graduation0 can realize just what that word implies to our students here1 with the memory of their past and with the difficulties of their present and future in mind4 ,to receive the diploma with its ribbon and 8broad seal0 and formal address1 to listen as the principal parties interested to the 8annual address0 by the 8,judge0 or 8,general0 or 8,colonel0 as the case may be1 and it is sure to be the one or the other of these1 to sit on the broad platform1 to receive flowers and flowers1 to be cheered and complimented and envied by admiring friends--we all know what these mean to a 8graduate40 ,for my part1 and for yours1 too1 dear readers1 ,i know it is a matter of rejoicing that in all our land there is not a youth who may not hopefully look up and forward to the enjoyment of these things4 ,i should not have taken so much of my space for this part of my letter1 for ,i have little now left in which to tell of the every day experiences and work of the year4 ,how for want of room and accommodations we have1 during the year1 had to turn away over fifty pupils who applied in person for admission2 how a more regular and steady attendance has told for good on the scholarship and work of the school2 how the ,spirit blessed us in the conversion of not less than thirty of our pupils4 ,in all our successes1 as in all our discouragements1 the good hand of our ,god has been upon us1 and we rejoice in it all that we see ,his work going forward and yearly gaining new triumphs4 ,our outlook for the coming year is most assuring1 and our only serious difficulty would seem to be want of room for all who come to us4

has been crowded into a low basement room in the ,teachers' ,home this year1 for lack of accommodation elsewhere4 ,we all rejoice with teacher and scholars that there is hope of more roomy quarters next year4 ,on ,saturday1 the #bgth1 was the closing exhibition of the ,sewing ,class1 under charge of ,mrs4 ,lathrop4 ,seventy-six girls this year have been in the class1 meeting on ,saturday forenoons4 ,friends in the ,north have helped by contributing patchwork1 basted garments1 etc41 and the girls have been taught plain sewing with the making of mottoes1 bookmarks1 etc4 ,only sixteen sessions were held1 but the amount of work accomplished was surprising4 ,there were displayed in the main school room eighteen patchwork quilts and one hundred and twenty-one finished garments1 dresses1 aprons1 underclothing1 etc41 all neatly made1 and showing decided improvement in sewing4 ,there were some short readings1 recitations and singing1 and then a few brief talks from ,prof4 ,hodge and others1 and afterward the garments were distributed to those who made them1 amid thankful hilarity4 ,on ,monday and ,tuesday1 #bith and #cjth1 were held the closing examinations4 ,these were more rigid and thorough than for a long time before1 but the classes generally did well1 and acquitted themselves with much credit4 ,during the year there have been held monthly examinations1 and the classes have been more thoroughly graded than ever1 so that there will be less confusion than usual in opening the next school year4 ,quite a number of visitors were in attendance1 both white and colored4 ,rev4 ,b4 ,f4 ,breedlove1 pastor of the largest ,southern ,methodist ,church in the city1 was present a part of the time1 and publicly expressed his gratification and commendation of the work done4 ,on ,wednesday1 the #cast1 occurred the closing exercises1 beginning at #i ,a4,m4 ,the school went through with their essays1 declamations1 dialogues and songs in a way that reflected credit upon them and their teachers4 ,the church was well filled with spectators of all colors4 ,three students received certificates of graduation from the ,high-,school course1 and these will probably go to ,atlanta ,university or elsewhere in the fall4 ,after the programme was finished1 some of the visitors were called on for speeches4 ,hon4 ,felix ,corput1 ,mayor of the city1 responded in few but

finale in the shape of a closing concert1 conducted by our music teacher1 ,miss ,jennie ,woodworth4 ,although the night was very rainy and stormy1 the church was full1 with quite a number of white people1 who expressed their great gratification4 ,the singing was good1 and the concert well carried out to the end1 showing decided musical ability on the part of all in solo1 duet and chorus singing4 ,mr4 ,derry1 a friendly white citizen1 made an impromptu and voluntary address1 full of real sympathy and kind words4 ,the daily paper printed a flattering report of the concert1 and of the

at ,berea1 and connected with the same association4 ,a few families1 slightly colored1 have always lived among them1 belonged to the same church and attended the same school4 ,indeed1 their minister1 the most prosperous man among them1 and long a trustee of the public school1 was said to be slightly colored4 ,another minister1 who preached to them a few years1 exhibited more signs of color4 ,in this neighborhood lives ,robert ,jones1 who1 in #ahef1 was whipped by a mob1 thirty-three lashes on his bare back1 for being a colporteur of the ,american ,missionary ,association1 and for sustaining ,mr4 ,fee in one of his meetings4 ,four of the old man's sons live about him2 one is a preacher1 as is the father himself4 ,when the colored school law was passed in this ,state1 their harmony was disturbed4 ,it is made unlawful 8for any colored child to attend a common school provided for white children or for a white child to attend a common school provided for colored children40 ,this utterly deprived the colored children of school privileges1 for there were not enough of them to organize a school district1 and there was no prospect that there ever would be4 ,in this emergency the church asked advice of the ,association4 ,after due deliberation they were advised to build a good school-house that should be open to all children of the neighborhood1 and let the common school take care of itself4 ,aid was promised them1 if it should be necessary4 ,the community accepted this advice4 ,a plan of a school-house was furnished them1 and a promise made that if they would build according to that plan1 they should have a good teacher the first six months without expense to them4 ,the school-house was to be #becj1 #ab ft4 from floor to ceiling1 with four large windows1 two doors1 and good seats and desks for #fj scholars4 ,this was a great undertaking1 unheard of in that region4 ,there was no house equal to it in the county1 for schools or meetings4 ,but enthusiasm was developed1 as the work went on1 and culminated at the dedication on the #bfth of ,june4 ,three times as many were present as could be crowded into the house1 and so great was the rush for the school it was necessary to publish that only sixty could be admitted4 ,the children of those who aided in building the house were to be admitted first1 but must make application within three days4 ,at the end of the three days nearly a hundred applications had been received4 ,before the dedication the people had1 in some way1 named the school 8,the ,pine ,grove ,college40 ,they were advised to drop the name college1 as their most advanced students would never get within two years of college4 ,but names are not easily dropped1 and this seems destined to endure4 ,miss ,maria ,muzzy1 an experienced teacher1 one of ,berea's corps1 had been engaged to take the school4 ,very frequently she was warned by good friends who knew the mountain people and ,kentucky habits that there would be no safety for her in that school1 she would surely be mobbed1 no lady should be asked so to expose herself1 she should not think of staying a night without a pistol4 ,she almost feared that it was a rash undertaking4 ,but calmer counsels1 with trust in ,god1 sustained her4 ,no indignity was ever offered her1 and no one ever had more friends among such a people4 ,at the close of the first week she wrote to ,berea that she hadn't the heart to turn away so many1 and asked for an assistant1 who should exchange with her in teaching in the woods4 ,this arrangement was made2 and for two months a part of the school was in the house and a part in the grove4 ,the assistant was ,miss ,kate ,gilbert1 another of ,berea's corps of teachers4 ,illustration3 ,,familiar ,,scene ,,in ,,louisville1 ,,ky4 ,she offered to forego her summer vacation1 and teach in the woods1 with no promise of compensation4 ,not the least difficulty was to find a boarding place for the teacher4 ,a lady who was to teach eighteen months in succession without a vacation must be taken care of4 ,not a room could be found in the neighborhood1 with a window in it1 which she could have to herself4 ,a man was found who needed a new house1 and for an advance of #ajj1 for a part of two years' board1 built a log house near the school-house and furnished her a room fifteen feet square1 with two windows1 and a lock to her door4 ,there is no other such room in all the region4 ,the school closed grandly and beautifully1 with an examination and an exhibition4 ,but the common school was abandoned for not a pupil could

and a half for fresh provisions4 ,the sailors bought salt1 etc41 on speculation1 while ,doctor and ,i wandered about picking up flints on the desert on which the town is built1 and chatting with an ,arab we met1 who happened to understand a few words of ,french4 ,the sailors here begged us so hard to let them put up the stars and stripes that we finally relented from our former purpose and consented1 provided we sailed into ,khartoum under the ,egyptian flag4 ,we found that the men were inclined to stop here too long1 in order to drive sharp bargains for their own profit1 and at the end of an hour and a half we ordered them to start1 much against their own will4 ,there was not a man of them who understood the first thing about sailing1 and when we attempted to start1 their management was so bad that we turned around like a top1 and had to make the shore again and take a fresh start4 ,the banks along here are thickly studded with 8sakias10 which make night as well as day musical with their continuous squeak and groan4 ,we passed a number of huts and a town called ,gelase4 ,there are several large islands in the river along here4 ,the wind died down as we reached one of the

in such a way that they flapped and threatened to turn inside out4 ,stood it as long as ,i could1 then took things into my own hands and ordered the sails set to suit me4 ,all at once1 in the afternoon1 the main sheet broke1 and away went the sail4 ,the men stood and looked at it1 hoping it would somehow get right1 while we floated down stream4 ,saw about #bj ft4 of high bank cave in with a great splash4 ,the pyramids of ,meroe came in sight4 ,we counted eight of them4 ,this would be an interesting spot to visit1 but relic hunting is not our business just now4 ,a large island stands in

is full moon1 and so we sail on while the wind lasts4 ,while everything was going nicely1 and our course as plain by moonlight as by day1 the men suddenly got frightened4 ,they thought there was a sand-bar just ahead4 ,the rudder was put hard over4 ,we went clear to the other side of the river1 where they actually managed to find a bar and stick on it4 ,then they had to pole back to where they were before1 and found their former course all right4 ,these men really do not know any more about managing a boat than the man in the moon4 ,wednesday1 ,jan4 #d4--,was up in the night to see about

rear1 passed us1 and left us far behind4 ,the ,doctor is feeling rather poorly4 ,we reached ,shendy about noon1 and were fully an hour in passing it4 ,this is a large town4 ,we saw about a thousand cattle on the bank1 and camels coming and going4 ,the larger proportion of the houses that are visible from the river have been destroyed by the rains and stand in ruins4 ,this is said to be a very healthy place1 and it has every appearance of it4 ,the desert comes to the river4 ,about eight fine sycamore trees in one place on the bank make a fine site for a building4 ,there are other trees near4 ,a wall has been built along the river to protect the bank4 ,here we saw a number of whirlwinds carrying the desert sand hundreds of feet into the air4 ,the town of ,el ,metammeh1 on the west side1 and a few miles farther up the river is a very large place--said to be larger than ,berber4 ,here also the desert comes to the river4 ,the town stands back a little1 and the banks are not quite so high4 ,we rounded a point4 ,a fine wind was blowing1 but the men insisted that they must put to shore 8to pick up the sail10 or in other words tighten the rigging4 ,soon after ,i found them sitting on the bank contemplating the rigging instead of working at it1 and sailed into them lively4 ,they soon had it done4 ,thursday1 ,jan4 #e4--,passed some high hills during the night4 ,we have had a fine breeze nearly all night and all the morning4 ,we passed some sandstone rocks on the west bank1 which come to the water's edge4 ,these are nearly opposite to ,ben ,naga4 ,we have run upon a sand-bar twice4 ,saw a large number of crocodiles of immense size4 ,a man on shore hailed us frantically1 and wanted us to take a quantity of butter for him to ,khartoum6 ,as though the ,governor's boat1 with two ,americans on board1 impatient to get along1 was going to be turned into a merchant vessel6 ,the men were a little inclined to stop1 but we ordered them to go on1 and the poor fellow was left on the bank swinging his arms like a windmill and getting red in the face4 ,we are passing through a fine grazing country4 ,a new man suddenly turns up on board1 who understands sailing and steering a little better than the others4 ,where he came from we do not know1 but suspect that he was picked up at the last place where we stopped4 ,now we are making better time4 ,we reached the beginning of the 8cataract0 at #b3bj ,p4,m4 ,we had a fine wind and plenty of time before sunset1 but the captain was afraid to go on and made a variety of foolish excuses4 ,we landed and made inquiries1 and finding there was no danger ordered him to proceed at once4 ,we found a few rocks and some sand banks1 but there was not the slightest difficulty4 ,we passed some beautiful islands covered with trees and festooning vines and high grass4 ,by sunset we had passed most of the rocks1 and then the wind ceasing1 and the men being tired1 we allowed them to tie up for the night4 ,ducks are plenty about here4 ,the ,garri ,mountains are in sight4 ,friday1 ,jan4 #f4--;,good breeze4 ,passed several rocks and small islands4 ,rounded a large island and entered a wild romantic gorge1 with rocky mountains rising high on each side straight from the river1 which is here reduced to a very narrow channel4 ,this winding gorge1 or gap1 extends several miles1 and it is called ,sebeloga4 ,came to and circled the largest island we have yet seen1 called ,rowyan4 ,there is a rocky mountain upon it4 ,passing out from the gorge there are a few rocks in the river4 ,on our left1 or east bank1 we saw a round mountain called ,wad ,el ,bassal1 or 8,son of the ,onion40 ,the wind has been fair and square astern1 but the men have managed the sail so badly that it has actually turned inside out4 ,this is not the safest performance in a strong wind1 and we thought it was about time to take things into our own hands and ordered the sail around where it ought to be1 and threatened to take full charge of the boat4 ,we have found two men on board without our permission1 but concluded to let it go4 ,at one watering-place we saw #be flocks of sheep1 goats1 cows1 etc41 averaging #cjj in a flock6 ,we have left the mountains behind us4 ,while sailing along before a good breeze all of a sudden the main brace broke and over went the sail1 nearly upsetting the whole thing and knocking everybody overboard4 ,we are growing resigned1 and are now ready for almost anything4 ,once more1 after getting things straight again1 the sail1 with a fair wind1 was allowed to turn inside out66 ,the wind went down1 and we went ashore4 ,after awhile it blew again1 and we were off4 ,passed the bluff of ,termaniat4 ,thermometer to-day3 ,sunrise1 #fj2 noon1 #ha2 sunset1 #gj4 ,illustration3 ,,egyptians ,,of ,,upper ,,egypt4 ,saturday1 ,jan4 #g4--;,fine breeze4 ,sailed at good speed4 ,the banks here were lower1 and the river broader4 ,low hills to the right4 ,we were approaching ,khartoum4 ,there were several islands1 and then we got a long view up the ,white ,nile4 ,we rounded the point of a large island1 and turned into the clearer waters of the ,blue ,nile4 ,the flags were up1 and we expected to sail into ,khartoum in grand style1 but the wind was so strong from the north that we had to be towed up along the steep southern bank4 ,we went bumping along1 running into everything that it was possible to run into1 amid a babel of sounds4 ,everybody seemed to think it necessary to yell at everybody else4 ,amid the confusion1 as we were coming smash down upon another boat1 ,ibrahim called to two well-dressed young fellows1 who were lounging on the other boat1 to help push off4 ,they heard1 but were too lazy to move4 ,he waited till he was near enough1 and then suddenly pounced upon them with his stick1 and dealt them several sharp blows4 ,one fled precipitately one way1 and the other jumped into the river4 ,i did not know but he would drown1 but he soon reached the bank1 where the crowd had a good laugh at his expense4 ,all along the shore native women1 with only a rag on1 were washing clothes2 some without a rag on were washing themselves4 ,finally we reached our landing-place1 and tied up4 ,we had reached ,khartoum at last6 ,the ,american consul1 a rich1 one-eyed ,copt1 stood on the bank waiting for us4 ,he soon came on board4 ,congratulations and compliments were exchanged4 ,he offered to do anything and everything for us4 ,we told him the first thing we wanted was our letters4 ,they were sent for at once4 ,i had seven6 ,we sat right down and devoured them4 ,not a word had we heard since leaving ,cairo1 and now here was a feast4 ,better than cold water to a thirsty soul was the good news from home4 ,we went1 at the consul's invitation1 to see the quarters he had kindly provided for us in one of his own houses4 ,the rooms were really very nice for this country4 ,on the whole1 our first impressions of ,khartoum were very pleasant4 ,there was no apparent reason why it should not be healthy if properly cared for4 ,the desert stretched away on all sides1 both on the north and south banks of the ,blue ,nile4 ,there seemed to be considerable business along the river bank4 ,there were crowds of merchant boats loading and unloading4 ,there were eight steamers lying here4 ,we noticed a number of very good buildings facing the river4 ,we have just heard of a formidable insurrection south of here1 on the ,white ,nile1 and in the vicinity of ,fashoda1 in which #fjj or more soldiers have already been killed4 ,after returning to our dahabeah1 the consul sent us a present of oranges1 pomegranates and milk4 ,after a while he called again with several others4 ,he certainly showed himself very anxious to please us4 ,he has placed his house at our disposal1 free of charge1 for any length of time we choose to occupy it4 ,he and his suite waited for us till after dinner4 ,then we packed up what was necessary and1 following the lanterns1 went up to our new quarters4 ,here every possible comfort had been very thoughtfully provided4 ,the doctor kindly insisted on my having the best room as a sort of 8divan10 or place in which to receive company4 ,a guard was provided for us1 who slept at our door1 as the rest were to stay on board over night4 ,three pretty gazelles were running about the yard in the moonlight1 and looking in at our doors4

blush with mingled shame and indignation4 ,at several of our schools scarcely an evening has passed for some weeks in which the pupils have been able to come and go unmolested4 ,to hear the report of this does not greatly stir the blood perhaps2 but to see a bright little boy1 child of a ,christian father1 himself growing up in the knowledge and love of ,christ1 because his skin has a tinge slightly deeper than our own and his dress is not in our style and the stock of which he comes is ,mongolian and not ,caucasian1 stoned by half-a-dozen cowardly youths1 no one of whom would dare attack a ,chinaman of his own size on equal terms1 and then to see the wound1 deep and bloody1 close to the eyes1 that one of the stones has made2 seeing all this1 ,i cannot but feel that ,i 8do well to be angry40 ,one of our teachers has been rebuked by a so-called preacher of the ,gospel1 to whom she herself had listened in one of our ,congregational pulpits1 for teaching ,chinamen4 ,and the pastor of one of the churches of ,california having in it ,chinese members was told by a prominent member of his church3 8,i would rather see them hung up by their queues than baptized and brought into the church40 ,when facts like these come to my knowledge ,i confess that ,i am dismayed2 not so much1 however1 for those who are wronged as for the wrong-doers4 ,i tremble for ,california and for some of the churches of ,california when ,i remember that ,god is just4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,story ,,of ,,china ,,mary4 ,one of our teachers relates the following touching story3 8,but ,i must tell you about poor ,ah ,low1 or ,china ,mary1 as we all called her4 ,she was brought to this country when quite young1 and was won by her husband in a raffle4 ,as a prize she was valued at #ajj4 ,an attempt was made afterwards by some ,chinese and ,americans to steal her1 but she fled to ,mr4 ,otis and was rescued4 ,she wished me to teach her to read1 and every morning as ,i passed her cabin on my way to the school-room ,i stopped and gave her a lesson4 ,at last she told me her heart troubles4 ,her husband1 she said1 was getting big pay in a neighboring town1 but was tired of her and would give her no money4 ,her offence was that her child was a girl and not a boy2 and when1 by and by1 another little girl came1 the husband's injury was more than he could bear4 ,the little baby sickens strangely4 ,mary tells the secret of it4 #8,my husband says if baby doesn't die he will get another woman4' ,but in spite of it all the baby got well1 and now poor ,mary's time had come4 ,as ,i stepped from the steamer to the wharf one morning ,i saw ,mary coming on board1 looking clean and even pretty in her blue blouse with her baby strapped upon her back4 #8,where are you going1 ,mary8' ,i asked4 #8,to ,san ,francisco for a visit1' she replied4 ,soon she returned1 but with no baby2 and in the evening we learned that the purpose of her enforced journey to the city was accomplished4 ,she had been sold by her husband into a ,chinese house of prostitution for #cjj4 ,and this is the last we have been able to know of ,china ,mary40 99 99 99 99 99 ,,good ,,cheer4 ,i must not close in this minor strain4 ,we have much to be grateful for4 ,the reported enrolment and the aggregate average attendance on our school were larger in ,may than ever before4 ,almost #ijj pupils are attending the schools1 and the average attendance was #dcc4 ,at ,santa ,barbara we hear of additions to the ,association1 and of three or more that seem ready to receive baptism4 ,at ,stockton we held last ,sunday evening1 ,june #ah1 our anniversary1 which was well-attended and exceedingly interesting4 ,here are two1 and perhaps three1 ,chinese who have given for many months delightful evidence of ,christian character and who desire to be baptized4 ,the ,oakland school is growing fast and with promise of greater usefulness than ever it has given hitherto4 ,i conclude with an extract from a recent letter from ,wong ,ock1 our helper in the ,petaluma school1 8,we have had a good school the past month2 but for one thing ,i feel sorry--that the scholars change all time4 ,it seems too bad2 they don't have but little time to learn4 ,we can't help that1 of course4 ,they are all working boys1 moving from place to place4 ,some learn very fast and love to come to school1 only some of the hard words are difficult for them to pronounce1 but they do not fail to try4 ,every evening we have some words to spell1 writing them on the black-board and spelling alone and in concert4 ,i gave astronomy lessons to them1 explaining by my own globe4 ,they were very much astonished because they never heard such a thing as that the world was round1 etc4 ,the ,bible lessons we have every ,saturday and ,sunday evenings4 ,i hope you will pray for the school here and the teachers4 ,mr4 ,pond1 ,i am hateful to myself ever since ,i have known the truth1 because of the earthly thoughts and fleshly desires which lead me to go ways against my conscience1 making me heavy in heart4 ,i feel as if ,i was two men then fighting all the time4 ,oh1 how great temptations in the spiritual life6 ,because of them ,i often get discouraged and cold in my heart4 ,pray for me1 dear brother4 ,your humble brother1 ,,wong ,,ock40 99 99 99 99 99 ,,children',s ,,page4 99 99 99 99 99 ,a ,,tennessee ,,band ,,of ,,hope4 ,,by ,,miss ,l4 ,a4 ,,parmelee4 ,we were all glad to hear about ,ted and his ,temperance society4 ,a great many hundred years ago a father in ,africa took his little son1 who was just as old as ,ted1 to the church altar and made him promise to always hate the nation that had oppressed them4 ,the feeling of hate grew as the boy grew1 and when he became a man he made the oppressor and his proud armies tremble before him4 ,now if the boys and girls1 who are so fond of hearing about ,hannibal's victories1 will promise to hate ,rum as he hated ,rome1 the monster that has destroyed so many homes will be conquered4 ,the children are beginning to think of these things4 ,if ,ted and his band should follow the sun1 and gather all the temperance boys and girls they could find on their way1 when they reached the ,mississippi their army would be nearly as large as that other army of young crusaders who started out to rescue the ,holy ,land from desecration4 ,ask papa or mamma where you will find that story to read for yourselves4 ,i have only time to tell you of a little company that would join this army when it stopped by the great river to rest and get ready to cross into ,arkansas1 where a host of eager recruits are learning to be loyal to home and honor and temperance4 ,this ,memphis company1 only one of several in the city1 are little people1 six1 seven1 eight and nine years old4 ,most of them had learned to like the taste of whisky from eating the sugar left in glasses after older people had taken a morning toddy1 or from sipping egg-nog ,christmas week4 ,their teacher illustrated the evil effects of alcohol by pouring a little into a saucer and dropping a lighted match into it4 ,as the blue flame blazed up1 the children thought it was not safe to take so dangerous an element into their mouths4 ,another day they saw some alcohol poured upon the white of an egg1 and the teacher explained that the brain is composed of the same material as the albumen of the egg4 ,as the bright eyes eagerly watched the yellowish white turn to milky white1 just as they had seen eggs fried in hot water and grease1 they all cried out3 8,i will never let any alcohol cook my brain like that40 ,once a lady showed them some large pictures of the stomach under different conditions4 ,she said the stomach is the kitchen of the house we live in1 and one of its most important rooms4 ,the walls are lined with soft1 delicate pink1 as pretty as the paper some people put on their parlor walls4 ,alcohol is a fiery-tempered little fellow1 and when he comes into the kitchen he scratches the beautiful walls1 just as naughty boys will sometimes scratch pins over the paper and plaster in their mother's nice room4 ,if he stays long enough he will punch holes1 make the clean walls black1 and ruin the room1 so that the food can not be properly prepared4 ,the pictures explained the work of demolition1 which the children readily understood1 as they knew of many people whose brains and stomachs had been destroyed in that way4 ,these little people have pledged themselves never to touch or taste the poison4 ,more than that1 they speak their convictions to their friends and neighbors at home4 8,that glass of toddy will burn and scratch your stomach40 8,that whisky will cook your brain and give you a headache2 you may feel brighter for an hour or two1 but then you will be dull and stupid40 ,do you ask if all the boys and girls who signed the pledge have been faithful to their promise8 ,the most of them have4 ,two big boys coaxed little ,albert to go out of town and celebrate ,easter by drinking a bottle of beer1 but he was so sorry and so ashamed of it that the ,band of ,hope forgave him4 ,two or three others have been enticed to drink1 but the majority hold firmly to their promise4 ,and you young people1 whose fathers and mothers never tempt you to do wrong1 can little understand how much these other little ones have to endure in abiding by their convictions of right4 ,let us help them by making the ,temperance ,army the strongest and largest army in the world4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,receipts ,,for ,,june1 #ahhb4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,maine1 #ajc4bd4 ,calais4 ,first
