year of the ,american ,missionary ,association1 and will decide whether it is to receive the #cjj1jjj asked for at the annual meeting4 ,the figures show that the receipts for the ten months1 ending ,july #ca1 were #bfb1hbi4ca2 leaving a balance of #cg1agj4fi to be made up in ,august and ,september4 ,the receipts from legacies in the ten months were #gd1aeb4bi1 but for the remaining two months none of large amount are anticipated1 and as ,august is usually unfavorable for collections1 and as our receipts at the date of going to press 7,august #ad7 are small1 we must depend ultimately upon the receipts of ,september to make up the sum needed4 ,we are anxious to secure the #cjj1jjj4 ,it will not only cheer the officers and the constituency of the ,association1 but the work absolutely demands that amount4 ,the fear of debt alone deters us from making needed repairs1 improvements and additions4 ,the details would convince our friends that economy and efficiency would be promoted by the expenditures we have thus far withheld4 ,permit us then to ask2 7#a7 that treasurers of churches and executors of estates remit to us at their earliest convenience monies in their hands intended for us2 7#b7 that pastors and church committees take up collections that are on the list for ,september1 or that have been neglected during the year2 and 7#c7 that generous friends send us contributions to meet the emergency4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,amendments ,,to ,,the ,,constitution4 ,the ,committee appointed at the last annual meeting of this ,association1 to consider and report on ,amendments to its ,constitution1 have held two meetings during the year1 and have given very careful thought to the subject4 ,their report is given in the form of 8,the ,proposed ,constitution10 which will be found on another page4 ,we ask for it the deliberate consideration of our constituency1 in the hope that a unanimous decision on the subject may be reached at the next annual meeting4

his ,indian policy1 gives this question and answer3 8,what is your view of ,indian education1 and of the ,hampton and ,carlisle schools in particular80 8,i recognize the usefulness of those schools1 but ,i insist that they are entirely inadequate1 as any number of them would be1 to accomplish what is desired4 ,the ,hampton and ,carlisle schools no more meet the exigency than ,yale and ,harvard supply education to the youth of the whole ,united ,states4 ,there are #ej1jjj ,indian children4 ,we must furnish means for their education4 ,hampton and ,carlisle will do for the training of teachers4 ,but we must get the schools1 which are to educate the masses of ,indian children1 out nearer to the tribes40 ,this is our view1 exactly4 ,use these and similar institutions at the ,south for training the young people brought to them from the ,indian country to become teachers and mechanics4 ,then let them go back to their people and serve as teachers of the home schools and leaders in the mechanic arts4 ,,the reports from our schools have crowded our limited pages for the last two months1 and have compelled us to leave over a number of articles which will be found in the pages of this number4 ,our readers will agree with us that these articles contained so much of spice that they have not become mouldy by the delay4 ,we wish1 however1 to notify our teachers and missionaries that we desire as speedily as possible the renewed use of their pens4 ,nothing1 however good1 can be a substitute for their fresh views and facts4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,caste ,,on ,,the ,,cars4 ,our new-made fellow-citizens at the ,south are coming to such consciousness of their civil and political rights as leads them to demand the protection of law4 ,the ,cincinnati ,southern ,railway has recently paid a fine of #a1jjj for putting a colored man who had a first-class ticket into a second-class car4 ,the ,atlanta ,west ,point ,railroad1 for a similar offence1 has been compelled to pay a fine of #djj4 ,the ,georgia ,railroad1 having been sued1 thought it best not to stand a trial1 and paid #gjj to a colored young woman who was put off its train because she was in a first-class car with a first-class ticket4 ,at ,nashville two or three suits have been entered in the same line4 ,bishop ,payne1 as is well known1 having been put off from a ,florida road1 is seeking legal redress4 ,bishop ,cain1 also of the ,african ,m4 ,e4 ,church1 having purchased a first-class ticket on the ,sunset route1 in ,texas1 was about to enter the car to which his ticket authorized him to go4 ,some white people who were also getting aboard said that they would not go if the black man should take a seat in that car4 ,he then entered the parlor car1 paying the extra dollar for his seat1 and now has sued the company for #bj1jjj4 ,it is a clear case that the law for common carriers requires the companies to allow passengers who have first-class tickets to ride in first-class cars4 ,the #adth amendment declares that 8no ,state shall deprive any person of life1 liberty or property1 without due process of law1 nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws40 ,justice ,strong1 of the ,supreme ,court1 referring to this language in the recent case of ,strander v4 ,virginia 7#aj ,otto1 #cjg71 which related to the exclusion of colored men from juries1 said3 8,what is this but declaring that the law in the ,state shall be the same for the black as for the white2 that all persons1 whether colored or white1 shall stand equal before the laws of the ,states1 and in regard to the colored race1 for whose protection the amendment was primarily designed1 that no discrimination shall be made against them by law because of their color40 ,it is clear that the railway companies are doing better and better in this matter4 ,some allow colored passengers to go without hindrance where their first-class tickets would take them4 ,other railway officials have instructed their train men that if colored people with first-class tickets make request to enter the first-class cars1 they shall be allowed so to do1 though the brakemen will keep them out as long as they can4 ,our colored friends must be patient while public sentiment is advancing and the law is coming to their help4 ,many colored people are as sensitive to the nicotine poison as any white ladies1 and it is a cruelty1 aside from the injustice1 to thrust them into the smoking-car4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,address ,,of ,,the ,,rev4 ,,geo4 ,m4 ,,boynton ,,at ,,the ,,boston ,,anniversary1 ,,may #ca1 #ahhb4 ,there are four ways in which a race in the enjoyment of power and prosperity may deal with a race which is under the burden of weakness and temporary debasement2 ,god forbid that ,i should say with an inferior race2 for it is not ours to measure gifts until the scale of opportunity shall have been equalized2 ,god forbid that ,i should say with a despised race1 though that too nearly represents the fact among large portions of people1 even in our own land and day2--,i say1 in dealing with races which are for the present weaker and in inferior position to our own4 ,i used to read1 when ,i studied geography1 that the inhabitants of the world could be classed under four heads3 as barbarous1 half-civilized1 civilized and enlightened4 ,and ,i think the four methods in which this race may be treated correspond somewhat with these four divisions of human progress4 ,the first and barbarous cry which meets a weaker race is1 8kill them2 put them out of existence40 ,the first impulse of savage men--the question is when the savagery is all expelled from human nature--is to put out of the way that which is offensive1 that which is in your way1 that which seems in any way to compete with your full satisfaction and enjoyment4 ,the next way of dealing with those of a weaker race is to use them1 subordinate them to your own service1 make bondsmen of them1 let them be your hewers of wood and drawers of water1 command their labor and their persons1 control even their instruction and their religion1 and make them absolutely yours4 ,the third way in which a superior race may deal with a weaker race is by the gentler1 but perhaps no less harmful1 process of letting them alone1--withdraw from them1 hands off6 ,shut them out1 keep them away1 make the barrier between yourself and them impassable4 ,there is one way more in which a race higher in circumstance and condition and endowment may treat those who for the time are weaker than they1 and that is to lift them up to its own plane just so fast and just so far as ,god shall make it possible4 ,if we read in the ,old ,testament1 as many are increasingly disposed to do1 a progress of development which recognizes the training of mankind from its lowest possible basis up to its highest possible attainment1 we may find illustrations of these four methods of treatment in that record4 ,the first conviction of their duty1 and with ,divine consent1 toward the races which occupied ,canaan1 was to exterminate the people of the land4 ,at a little later stage1 when ,joshua had entered the country1 he made his league with the ,gibeonites and the people of the central confederacy1 by which they became his hewers of wood and drawers of water4 ,as we read on still further in the story1 we find the ,jews shutting themselves out from all mankind1 and shutting all men off from them1 having no dealings even with the ,samaritans4 ,but1 when the ,lord ,jesus ,christ came1 bringing the light of the gospel and the character of ,god and heavenly opportunities on to the soil of our earth1 his last command is1 8,share my gifts in every land with every creature10 and the last word he promises that some of us shall hear before we enter into the lasting joy of heaven1 is1 8,because ye have done it unto the least of these1 my brethren1 ye have done it unto me40 ,our country has illustrated all these methods of treatment of the weaker races4 ,its cry has been toward the ,indian--its characteristic cry almost from the very first--8,kill him2 there is no good ,indian but a dead ,indian20 and that sentiment1 that barbarism1 has not yet altogether been exterminated from the land4 ,our country has said of the great ,african race1 8,enslave them2 use them2 subordinate them to our own uses2 make them our hewers of wood and drawers of water1 our chattels1 our breeders of children2 use them without conscience2 subordinate them to our own supposed good40 ,and even now our land1 this land of freedom1 to which we all came strangers at some past time1 has issued its edict through its highest courts that the ,chinaman shall be shut out from all access to our civilization and our ,christianity4 ,brethren1 the glory and joy of this ,american ,missionary ,association is that its work has been from the beginning to reach out to those who were weakest1 who were most in need1 who were most neglected4 ,thank ,god that there is one place where the sentiment may be centred and emphasized that 8,god hath made of one blood all nations of men that dwell upon the face of the whole earth20 and though it may be true that for a time 8,he hath fixed the bounds of their habitation10 yet it is not so sure that these bounds were in his purpose fixed to outlast the breaking down of those barriers which the progress of ,christian civilization surely brings4 99 99 99 99 99 ,and now1 what is it that makes these races weaker1 less prosperous1 less independent than our own8 ,it is the lack of education2 it is the lack of developed intelligence1 not of native ability4 ,and what are the claims which ignorance may make upon intelligence8 ,it may not claim a right to power2 it may not claim a share in property2 it may not claim an equal social position with intelligence2 but it may claim an opportunity to fit itself for all these things4 ,suppose a man had been born and had lived his life at the bottom of a pit2 and he cries out1 as you listen to him at the brink1 8,give me a voice in the control of your affairs up there4 ,i am in the ,united ,states as truly as you are1 if ,i am at the bottom of this hole4 ,i want to vote and have a voice in the affairs of the nation40 ,you may properly suggest to him that until he has seen the lay of the land he can hardly decide which way the roads had better run1 that until he has lived in the upper air he can hardly know what institutions for the general control of society are best and wisest4 ,he cries out to you again from the bottom of the pit1 8,give me some money2 ,i have had no chance to earn any down here4 ,throw down some greenbacks40 ,and you remind him that greenbacks as a circulating medium from one pocket to another are not a particularly profitable investment1 and that if deposited in the clay bank1 in which his hole is dug1 they would yield him no great return4 ,he says to you1 8,at any rate1 throw down a broadcloth suit2 ,i want to dress as well as you40 ,you intimate again that even goodly raiment would not add greatly to his comfort in his present state4 ,but if that much-to-be-pitied man is wise1 he will cry out for one thing only3 8,reach me down a ladder1 by which ,i may climb up to where you are40 ,if he is wise1 the one thing he will ask of you is not a share in the control you have1 not a share in the possessions you have acquired1 not a share in the social position you may have attained1 but it is an opportunity to fit himself for the acquirement and use of all these things4 ,it is our business1 brethren and friends1 and it is the work of this ,association1 to reach that ladder down4 ,if you will but let our brother get his hands upon the lowest round1 he will come up and stand with us in ,god's sunshine1 as we have already seen him do4 ,if we forbear1 if we refuse1 we are more guilty than the priest and the ,pharisee who went by on the other side2 we are as guilty as were ,joseph's brethren who lowered their brother into the pit and left him there and went their way4 ,we are not here to-day to plead rival claims and rival causes2 but amid the whole circle of ,christian graces and ,christian charities1 the last in all the world to leave unfilled is that which1 when all the other miracles and glorious works of ,christ had been catalogued1 was added as the crowning gem of all--8,the poor have the gospel preached unto them40 ,god help us ever to have sympathy with this grand work2 and in this era which is coming1 an era which will call for greater sacrifices and greater gifts than any that have gone before--for it must be an era of endowment for these institutions--let its claims be heard among all the rest in fair and true proportion4 ,,misplaced ,,benevolence4 8,the sympathies of ,christian people are always deeply stirred when they come into personal contact with individuals who1 in foreign lands1 have come out of the superstitions and darkness in which they were reared and are seeking help for themselves or their people in this country4 ,the touching stories that can be truthfully told of struggles in the past1 and of difficulties under which they now labor1 appeal strongly to all who hear them1 and it is quite natural that gifts should be made in response to these pleas with little thought of certain nearly inevitable results which1 were they aware of them1 the donors would deeply deplore4 ,the matter is a delicate one to treat4 ,on the one hand1 we would have earnest sympathy expressed for those who are seeking to elevate themselves and their people1 whether educationally or religiously1 and would have them wisely aided4 ,it seems ungracious to do or say anything to check the outpouring of money in response to these appeals4 ,but1 on the other hand1 when we see how1 by reason of the reception given to these special appeals1 the work of our missionaries is hindered1 and their plans for the education and elevation of the people to whom they are sent are imperiled1 we are constrained to utter again a word of caution40 ,the above is quoted from a thoughtful article in the ,august number of the ,missionary ,herald4 ,it presents in a very careful manner a warning that is at once delicate and needful4 ,we find the same difficulties in our work at the ,south1 and take this opportunity of adding our word of caution to our friends in regard to special appeals from that quarter4 ,money intended for our mission work in the ,south1 or for student aid1 can be more judiciously dispensed by us1 knowing the whole field and its wants1 than if sent by the donor directly in response to an appeal that may be overdrawn1 or relatively less important than some others1 and in some cases entirely unworthy of confidence4 ,we have no reference in these words of caution to the professors and representatives of our ,institutions1 who visit the ,north duly accredited by us4 99 99 99 99 99

learn that a man in the ,south has made provision in his will to leave #be1jjj or #ej1jjj toward the endowment of one of our chartered institutions in that region4 ,this is a grateful foretaste of what is yet to come1 when the people of that land shall join with those of the ,north in supporting these schools of higher learning for the benefit of our newly-made fellow-citizens4 ,it also makes to other high-minded and patriotic men at the ,south the suggestion--8,go thou and do likewise40 99 99 99 99 99 ,,general ,,notes ,,africa4 --,mr4 ,grattan ,guinness honorable director of the

help4 ,i have been using for supplementary reading the #8,gospel ,temperance ,book1' and have been surprised at the interest manifested4 ,yesterday ,i asked how many enjoyed it1 and nearly every hand went up4 ,one young man said3 #8,a while ago ,i tried to talk with a young fellow about drinking1 and couldn't meet his arguments1 but since we have taken up this book ,i have a great deal more to say4'0 ,,topeka1 ,kansas4--,the relief work proves quite a tax on our time and strength4 ,six mornings out of the seven are devoted to the people for their instruction and improvement4 ,monday evening we hold prayer meeting2 ,tuesday evening is devoted to ,bible study for the young people4 ,a good number attend4 ,friday evening ,i have a class in singing4 ,the ,sabbath is a busy day for each of us4 ,we have a full ,sunday-school and need twice as much room1 and ,sabbath evening the ,chapel is well filled4 ,with not a few worthy exceptions the people are ignorant and wicked1 but this does not discourage us4 ,already we can perceive a change for the better4 ,in all our exercises the people are more orderly and attentive4 ,,washington1 ,d4,c4--8,i have organized a ,doing ,good ,society in the girl's school1 which is doing effective work and interesting all4 ,we appoint a committee of two to visit the sick every week4 ,i give them something to carry in food and clothing1 playthings and picture-books1 for the sick1 and taking the ,bible and song-book they read and sing1 often gathering a whole family in to hear them4 ,each ,saturday a report of their visits is read1 and once a month the school brings pennies to buy food4 ,my prayer meetings among the mothers and girls are often very full of tenderness4 ,and yet1 among this people it is so easy to have good prayer meetings that ,i don't think as much of it as ,i used to at the ,north4 ,more and more ,i feel the importance of teaching them that temperance1 purity and a desire to do something for others is true religion40 99 99

,the time and place 7,june #a1 ,new ,orleans7 proved propitious4 ,they gave the ministers and delegates an opportunity1 by anticipating the meeting1 to be present at the anniversary exercises of the ,university4 ,i think a fire has been kindled which will not be quenched when our brethren reach their homes1 and we shall find1 when the new school year opens1 that new connecting lines have been established between ,straight ,university and the interior towns4 ,the ,association last met in this city1 in the spring of #ahgg4 ,in #ahgh and #ahgi we met in ,new ,iberia1 and in #ahhj and #ahha in ,terrebonne2 so this is our sixth annual meeting without a break1 and we are able to report not only continuity of life1 but real progress4 ,a little advance in the church work of this ,association means more than a far greater advance in our older religious bodies4 ,here the fight has been1 first upon the question1 8,have we1 as ,congregationalists1 a right to live in ,lousiana80 ,the denominationalism among the colored people has been1 and still is1 intense4 ,as the ,baptist and ,methodist ,church once covered this entire ,southern field1 the ,congregationalist is looked upon as a traitor to a holy cause1 who has enlisted under a strange and piratical banner4 8,who are you1 anyhow80 8,where do you come from80 8,what strange faith have you picked up now80 are questions which salute our brethren constantly1 and which are designed to cover them with confusion and discomfiture4 ,but this battle has been bravely and patiently fought1 and the right to exist 8established40 ,there were #ca pastors and delegates present4 ,the reports from the various fields were cheering and hopeful4 ,it has not been a harvest year1 though some churches have been refreshed by the gracious visitation of the ,holy ,spirit1 and all have1 we hope1 felt the quickening of a new life4 ,a revival of wonderful preciousness and power was reported from ,central ,church1 ,new ,orleans1 beginning with the 8,week of ,prayer10 and continuing five weeks1 during which time nearly #ajj souls were awakened4 ,brother ,clay's church in ,terrebonne has been blessed and strengthened4 ,there have been many hindrances in the year4 ,the floods have caused great suffering among the poor4 ,cabins have been washed away1 crops destroyed1 and the plans of labor disarranged4 ,when the laboring class of the colored people suffer1 the churches suffer in their resources4 ,let me summarize the result of our annual meeting4 ,i4 ,from the reports of the churches we find that there have been numerical losses1 which1 though seemingly serious1 are really gains1 so far as the purity and vigorous life of the ,association is concerned4 ,the ,association has not yet laid down the pruning knife1 and it may be that more dead branches will be clipped off in the year1 without which the tree will be more beautiful and fruitful4 ,,ii4 ,a higher stand was taken for an educated ministry4 ,one of the brethren1 on his own volition1 presented a resolution to this effect3 8,that from this day we1 as an ,association1 will neither license nor ordain any man to preach in our churches who is not fitted by education to perform all the sacred duties of his office40 ,the brethren in the discussion preceding the vote said that while there was formerly an excuse for an ignorant ministry1 we now have our colleges and theological seminaries1 and with a little self-denial1 all who wish may fit themselves to guide intelligently the minds and hearts of the people4 ,,iii4 ,the necessity was deeply felt and freely expressed1 of taking a clearer and stronger denominational position1 with all charity and fellowship for all who love our ,lord ,jesus ,christ in sincerity4 ,we1 as ,congregationalists1 should know the ground on which we stand1 and be able to give a reason for the hope within us4 ,it was voted that a ,manual be prepared1 answering more fully than any yet issued1 the local needs of our ,louisiana churches4 ,this ,manual will be prepared during the summer1 and submitted in manuscript to the ,association at its next meeting4 ,we were fortunate in having the presence and cordial aid of ,rev4 ,o4 ,d4 ,crawford1 of ,mobile4 ,he gave an address1 ,wednesday night1 on the subject3 8,why am ,i a ,congregationalist80 ,it was scholarly1 judicious and effective4 ,the ,moderator1 yielding to the kind and earnest desire of the brethren1 occupied the evening session of ,thursday in an account of his visit to ,europe1 with especial reference to the ,jubilee ,meeting of the ,congregational ,union of ,england and ,wales1 held at ,manchester in ,october last4 ,after prayer and song1 and with deep gratitude to ,god for ,his blessing upon our annual meeting1 the ,association adjourned1 to meet in ,new ,iberia the first ,wednesday in ,april1 #ahhc4 ,i desire1 in concluding this statement1 to say that if our ,northern friends wish to see a vigorous ,congregational ,association in ,louisiana1 the helping hand must be extended1 with the 8,god bless you0 from the lips4 ,weak points along the lines need to be strengthened1 the faint and weary to be encouraged and the streams of benevolence to be directed into the barren wastes1 where men of ,god have only their lives to offer4 ,,teachers' ,,institute ,,at ,,memphis4 ,,by ,,miss ,,ella ,a4 ,,hamilton4 ,i have thought that perhaps the readers of the ,,missionary would be interested to know something of the ,institute held at ,le,moyne for the colored teachers of ,shelby and the adjoining counties4 ,the ,institute was continued for two weeks1 beginning on the first ,monday in ,june4 ,prof4 ,steele was appointed conductor by the ,state ,superintendent4 ,teachers were present not only from western ,tennessee1 but also from ,mississippi and ,arkansas4 ,on the first day our enrolment list reached eighty-nine1 and increased during the succeeding days to one hundred and fifteen4 ,our daily session began at quarter before nine with short devotional exercises4 ,these were followed by the recitations in the different branches4 ,the lessons were given and studied by topics1 and each teacher was provided with a blank book1 in which he kept the topics for study and also any notes which he wished to remember4 ,the ,rev4 ,mr4 ,imes had charge of reading1 ,prof4 ,steele of arithmetic1 grammar1 penmanship and geology1 while ,i took history and geography4 ,a certain time each day was devoted to any matters of interest which we should wish to present4 ,at this time several talks on school organization were given1 an object lesson on coal was presented by ,miss ,lovell1 principal of one of the public schools1 the temperance charts showing the effects of alcohol upon the stomach were exhibited1 and ,miss ,wadsworth1 a worker under the ,w4 ,c4 ,t4 ,u41 addressed the teachers1 answering many questions which they asked her4 ,the teachers present were1 without exception1 earnest1 enthusiastic and anxious to get good1 that they might do good4 ,one young man said to me at the close of the ,institute3 8,this ,institute has given me work to do for twelve months to come2 it was just what ,i needed40 ,many others told us of the good they had received during the ,institute1 and seemed to feel that they should do their work in their school-rooms better for the work they had done there4 ,the county superintendent1 who was with us for two days1 told us that the colored teachers would average quite as high as the white teachers1 who were then in attendance at a similar ,institute at ,bartlett1 the county seat4 ,this is about the first work of the kind that has ever been done in ,tennessee1 but if the results are as good as we have every reason to hope1 we are sure it will not be the last4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,sunday-,,school ,,institute ,,at ,,tougaloo4 ,,by ,,miss ,j4 ,,kellogg4 ,it was thought that the last ,sabbath of the school year could not be better spent than by calling in the ,sunday-school workers among the colored people and holding a ,sunday-school institute4 ,providence smiled upon the exercises with a most beautiful day1 and at an early hour the chapel was filled with an attentive though miscellaneous throng1 whose intelligent looks and interested1 orderly demeanor were a surprise to some of the newest workers and evidence of progress to all4 ,the regular exercises of the ,sunday-school were first attended to4 ,the lesson1 8,following ,christ10 with its golden text1 8,whosoever will come after ,me1 let him deny himself1 and take up his cross and follow ,me10 seemed to furnish a peculiarly appropriate theme for the last conference of the teachers with their classes1 and called forth thoughts and experiences1 exhortations and warnings1 calculated to be helpful alike to the ,christian of years1 the score or more of young converts1 and the few who1 with all their calls and opportunities1 still refuse the yoke of ,christian service4 ,in closing the review the superintendent gave a blackboard exercise suggested by the verses1 8,what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul8 ,or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul80 ,this formed an impressive introduction to the first subject brought forward--the use of the ,blackboard4 ,other topics presented were1 ,opening and closing exercises1 ,duties of the superintendent1 ,use and abuse of lesson helps1 ,how to get the children in1 ,conversion and training of pupils1 ,individual responsibility4 ,two of these topics were well presented by former graduates of this institution4 ,the only topic which evoked general discussion was that of success in gathering the children in and winning them to continued attendance4 ,of the many who volunteered a statement of methods to this end1 all spoke briefly1 pointedly1 correctly and sensibly1 and the question-box when opened revealed nothing but practical1 intelligent queries4 ,the ,institute closed with the repetition by ,miss ,koons of one of our regular ,sabbath-afternoon course of lectures1 a lecture on ,temperance1 illustrated by ,sewall's charts4 ,a quantity of temperance literature was distributed1 to be carried away for circulation4 ,may the blessing of ,god render it very influential6 99 99 99 99 99 ,,go ,,home ,,to ,,thy ,,friends4 ,four years ago a little ten-year-old native on the west coast of ,africa had a hungering for 8big ,america10 and a captain beguiled him1 by false promises of educating him1 to come aboard his ship4 ,the poor waif seemed providentially cared for in ,brooklyn and ,connecticut1 till an ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 friend picked him up and sent him to ,atlanta ,university4 ,during the winter our little ,philip has often spoken of his purpose to live for ,god4 ,last night1 in his broken ,english1 he told us of the impression made on him by the ,sunday-school lesson of the day--the demoniac made happy and sent home to tell what great things the ,lord had done for him4 ,said ,philip3 8,it is ,god who put me here1 where ,i have learned of ,christ1 and now you must pray for me that ,i may be a good ,christian and grow strong and wise1 for ,i must sometime go home to my friends in ,africa and tell them how the ,lord had compassion on me40 ,his artless words touched all hearts and turned our prayer meeting into an impromptu missionary concert4 ,one young man said3 8,philip's friends are our friends4 ,though there is much for us to do here our #bej years of trial in ,america may have been only a discipline to fit us for our greater work in ,africa40

our work in the beginning of the year1 but ere the work was well started they proved to contain blessings4 ,the good which the ,association1 under ,god1 has accomplished here for the poor1 is only seen vividly as we compare the results of the present year with those of four years ago4 ,then we had no church edifice2 begun a day-school with three scholars in an old shell of a building for a school-house2 the ,sabbath-school had about ten scholars4 ,now we number nearly forty4 ,since that time a beautiful chapel has been built and a snug parsonage1 and we now have an enrolment of seventy scholars in the day-school4 ,some of our pupils have passed a very satisfactory examination before the ,board of ,examiners1 and received certificates to teach in the public schools this summer4 ,our work has grown this year more than ever in the favor and confidence of both white and black4 ,i believe that the good effect of the closing exercises will make the school very large next fall4 ,one pleasing fact in connection with the exercises was the young organist we presented to the public4 ,ours is the only colored church here that has an organ1 and my wife is the only colored woman1 so far as ,i know1 in the county1 who plays the organ4 ,now that she has taken one of the girls and taught her how to play1 one of the colored churches has ordered an organita for its ,sabbath-school4 ,another fact of interest is that the county ,superintendent of ,education has consented to give to our school a portion of the public money1 so that we may teach it as a public school4 ,the interest of the church and school has been very much increased by a fine bell1 given by ,mr4 ,f4 ,w4 ,carpenter1 of the ,central ,church1 ,providence1 ,r4,i41 also a beautiful communion service1 presented by the ladies of the same church4 ,we have received a barrel from the ladies of the church at ,yarmouth1 ,mass4 ,many of the pieces will go to assist a poor girl who intends entering ,fisk ,university next fall4 ,we have received a box from ,rev4 ,c4 ,l4 ,woodworth1 which enabled us to help worthy ones in the ,sabbath-school4 ,my wife has planted a flower garden in front of the parsonage4 ,i have planted a vegetable garden1 which has given me an opportunity for physical exercise4 ,we have every variety of vegetables1 and as fine as ,i ever saw anywhere4 ,my white potatoes are particularly fine4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,visit ,,to ,,topeka4 ,,by ,,gen4 ,o4 ,o4 ,,howard4 ,on last ,sabbath1 at #c ,p4,m41 by the invitation of your missionary at ,topeka1 ,rev4 ,mr4 ,markham1 ,i visited the ,tennessee ,mission and participated in the exercises of the occasion4 ,i found a large meeting room filled with young people1 with a sprinkling of older heads4 ,i had seen some thirty girls1 with perhaps half as many boys1 over at the ,s4 ,s4 ,convention ,park4 ,they had stood behind me on the platform ,sunday morning and backed me up with their inimitable melodious songs of ,zion4 ,the large multitude of people--perhaps a thousand--were touched by their enthusiasm1 where a little of art has not robbed nature of her best effects4 ,so here again ,i find the same bright1 happy faces and more of them4 ,many of the regular school exercises were set aside for my address4 ,they sang 8,hold the ,fort10 and others of ,sankey's collection1 with spirit4 ,the young lady who teaches them1 ,miss ,gerrish1 is remarkably faithful1 full of tact and good sense4 ,your missionary himself interested me a good deal4 ,i saw him first at the young men's rooms at a prayer meeting4 ,he gave a little personal experience1 showing how a child comes to the ,master's arms4 ,professor ,stearns1 of ,washburn ,college1 spoke highly of his disinterested work at the mission4 ,he has worked great changes for good4 ,the people1 for the most part1 own their houses and lots4 ,some houses are very neat4 ,one soldier's wife said3 8,yes1 this little stone house is mine4 ,my husband is a common working man4 ,yes1 we have paid for the house4 ,it is little1 but1 you know1 there is nothing like home1 if 'tis only so small60 ,her husband had been through the war near me4 ,on ,sunday1 every child was well dressed1 and generally the blacks had as good clothing as the whites4 ,i urged these good people1 who are struggling up into respectable ways of living and moderate prosperity1 to stand up for the

baptized in ,english1 when followed the ,communion services in ,english4 ,at this there were twelve white members of the ,congregational church here1 and one ,indian2 also two white members of the ,protestant ,methodist church1 one ,cumberland ,presbyterian1 and one other ,congregationalist2 there were also about seventy-five ,indians as spectators4 ,the ,sabbath ,school was held soon after1 seventy-five being present4 ,first1 there were four songs in the ,chinook language1 accompanied by the organ and violin2 then three in ,english4 ,the prayer was in ,nisqually1 and the lesson read in ,english1 after which the lessons were recited4 ,three classes of ,indian boys1 two of ,indian girls1 and two of white children were instructed in ,english2 one class of ,indian children was talked to partly in ,english and partly in ,chinook4 ,there is one ,bible class of ,indian men who can understand ,english1 a part of whom can read and a part cannot1 and another of about forty ,indians1 whose teacher talks ,english1 but an interpreter translates it into ,nisqually1 and then he does not reach some ,indians of the ,clallam tribe who are present4 ,next followed a meeting of the ,temperance ,society1 as six persons wished to join--a white man who can write his name and five ,indians who touch the pen while the ,secretary makes the mark4 ,three of these are sworn in ,english and two in ,chinook4 ,the whole services are interspersed with singing in ,english and ,chinook4 ,illustration3 ,,indians ,,speaking ,,across ,a ,,chasm4 ,on the trip to an ,indian logging camp one evening1 to hold a meeting1 my companion and myself found the tide up so high that we had to 8coon0 the logs1 as they were rolling in the water1 in the dark1 wade a part of the time1 and improvise a lantern out of cedar sticks split up rather fine4 ,a ,sabbath day's work appears as follows3 ,began services with the ,indians at ,jamestown about ten o'clock1 which continued until half-past twelve2 then returned three-quarters of a mile to my boarding-place1 went into the cupboard and took a very little lunch in my hands2 walked four miles or more to ,dunginess1 where ,i preached to the whites at two o'clock1 without even a chair or anything to sit down on2 walked back two miles to the house of a friend1 where ,i sang and played on the organ about all of the time1 except while eating supper1 until half-past six or seven1 when ,i walked back to ,jamestown and held services from eight to ten o'clock--thus walking thirteen miles1 besides holding service over five hours1 and singing an hour or two4 ,the variety of one trip of about two hundred miles is recorded thus3 ,as to food1 have done my own cooking1 eaten dry crackers only for meals1 been boarded several days for nothing and bought meals4 ,as to sleeping1 have stayed in as good a bed as could be given me1 free of cost1 and slept in my own blankets in an ,indian canoe1 because the houses of the whites were too far away and the 8phleeze0 were too thick in the ,indian houses4 ,they were bad enough in the canoe1 but the ,indians would not allow me to go further away for fear that the panthers would catch me4 ,as to work1 have preached1 held prayer meetings1 done pastoral work1 helped clean up the streets of an ,indian village1 been carpenter and painter1 dedicated a church1 performing all the parts1 been organist1 studied science1 acted as agent1 taken hold of law1 in a case where whiskey had been sold to an ,indian1 and in a will4 ,as to traveling1 have been carried ninety miles in a canoe by ,indians1 free1 paid an ,indian four dollars for carrying me twenty miles1 was carried twenty miles on a steamer at half fare and twenty more on another for nothing2 rode horseback1 walked fifty miles1 and 8paddled my own canoe0 for forty-five miles4 ,a note is made of some people very hungry for preaching4 ,one lady just recovering from sickness was hardly able to walk three-quarters of a mile to church1 and as they had no horse her husband took her on a wheelbarrow more than half the way4 ,an old lady1 seventy-six years of age1 walked over three miles to church where the services were mainly for the ,indians1 then a mile further1 where the preaching was for the whites1 and then returned home4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,indians ,,at ,,hampton4 ,,by ,,rev4 ,h4 ,b4 ,,frissell4 ,our communion on ,sunday was very interesting4 ,there were added to the church four colored students and three ,indian boys4 ,these three are representatives of three different tribes4 ,one of them was an ,apache4 ,he came to us sixteen months ago with no knowledge of ,christ1 and none of ,god1 with the exception of what he had gained from an old medicine man4 ,he told me that ,god was like the wind that came in at one window and went out at the other4 ,he has been very earnest in his study of the ,bible and has come to my study night after night when he had had a hard day's work and an evening study hour that he might read the ,bible with me4 ,not long ago he told me he wished to pray in meeting and asked me if ,i would write out what he wanted to say4 ,so ,i took my pen and after long pauses he told me what he wanted to say to ,god4 ,i wrote it down just as he gave it to me4 ,he has carried it away to learn so that he may take part in our weekly meeting in ,english4 ,the other two boys have come to me twice before and asked to join the church but ,i have told them to wait4 ,but now it seemed as though they could wait no longer and they were glad to profess their faith in ,christ4 ,,the ,,chinese4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,penalty ,,of ,,prosperity4 ,,by ,,rev4 ,w4 ,c4 ,,pond4 ,our schools were never before so prosperous as during the last six or eight months4 ,each successive budget of monthly reports showed a larger enrolment and a larger average attendance1 in the aggregate1 than had ever been secured before4 ,notwithstanding that we have closed our schools in ,oroville during these hot months1 and have given a month's vacation to the ,berkeley school1 the reports for ,june call for their superlatives as cheeringly as did those of ,april or of ,may4 ,the rolls for ,june showed the names of #ijh ,chinese pupils1 and the average attendance was #dcg4 ,during the ten months now past of the present fiscal year1 no less than #b1aeb ,chinese have been enrolled as members of our schools1 and thus1 for longer or shorter periods1 have been brought to hear something of the true ,god and the only ,saviour4 ,many have been with us but a short time1 but not one1 ,i believe1 has failed to get some new idea which1 it would seem1 must have set him to thinking1 and thus may prove to be in him the seed of the everlasting life4 ,but what is the 8penalty0 of all this8 and why should there be any penalty for it8 ,the penalty is a depleted treasury1 and the reason for this is the unavoidably increased expenditure4 ,how many of our readers know what it is to have more than #a1fjj coming due1 and less than #fjj at command8 ,as many as have had this experience will understand the penalty ,i am just now called to suffer4 ,i could not turn the dark souls away from what seemed to be for them the only possible path to light1 and ,i could not bid them welcome without increasing our corps of laborers4 ,i could not add new workers without adding some new bills4 ,the increase of expense is not at all proportioned to the increase in work fulfilled1 for while we have reached nearly #dj per cent4 more ,chinese than we did in any preceding year1 the expense will be greater by only about #aj per cent4 ,but ,i have been working all these years up to the utmost limit of our resources1 and now1 towards the close of this fiscal year--the annual appropriation from the parent society exhausted and the gifts of most of our regular contributors already used--it comes to pass that that #aj per cent4 extra begins to be felt1 and as the mission purse gets lighter your superintendent's heart gets heavier with thoughts and plans and cares4 8,well1 what are you going to do about it80 some of my readers are asking4 ,i answer1 first of all1 ,i mean to pray4 ,nothing else ever availed in my experience to replenish a depleted treasury1 like appealing to the ,giver of all good4 ,he knows the work2 ,he gave the opportunity2 ,he has1 many times before this1 verified ,his promise1 and answered my prayer4 ,i mean to trust ,him2 ask ,his counsel and ,his help1 and so move on4 ,while ,his pillar of cloud and of fire goes before us1 we need never be dismayed4 8,difficulties will be removed1 in proportion as it is necessary that they should be removed40 ,but ,i do not mean to stop with prayer4 ,that is ,mller's way1 and1 in his case1 it succeeds4 ,when he was consulted as to the failure of others who wrought on his plan1 it is said that he replied3 8,they were not so called40 ,every man according to his own calling4 ,for myself1 ,i read the promise thus3 8,ask1 and it shall be given you2 seek1 and ye shall find40 ,and so ,i feel called to follow up my asking with seeking1 and to enter every door that my master causes to be opened to my knock4 ,that is just what ,i am doing now1 in writing this paragraph4 ,it may not reach all our readers till after our fiscal year has closed2 but the books can be kept open till ,october #a1 and gifts sent to make up what is now lacking1 will be gratefully acknowledged1 and most carefully used4 ,,the ,,central ,,school4 ,this is held at the ,central ,mission house1 in this city--the headquarters of our whole work4 ,the building is admirably located for our purposes1 and though always felt to be too small for the most effective service1 has nevertheless answered our purpose tolerably well4 ,as long as the attendance on the school did not exceed #abe1 it was possible to move about easily in the school-room1 and by careful attention to ventilation1 to keep the atmosphere tolerably pure4 ,but last month the average attendance was #ahe1 and the largest attendance on any one evening was no less than #bfj6 ,of course even standing room was at a premium4 ,to move about in such a mass2 to attempt anything like classification2 to give to each pupil his portion of instruction1 taxed the energy1 patience and skill of the teachers to the utmost4 ,jee ,gam declares that if we had room enough and teachers enough1 we could have #cjj pupils in this school every evening4 ,one reason for this throng of pupils1 7and ,i am glad to say that a like cause of prosperity exists in all our schools7 is that we have now so excellent a corps of teachers and of ,chinese helpers--so faithful1 so devoted and enthusiastic--and1 generally1 so well fitted for the work4 ,about this ,i trust there may be nothing temporary4 ,another fact1--which may not always operate so strongly as now--and which tends specially to fill up the ,central school1 is the great influx of ,chinese now going on at this port4 ,when the new law goes into operation1 this will be checked1 at least1 for a time4 ,hastened1 doubtless1 by the passage of this law nearly #be1jjj ,chinese have come in at this port within less than six months1--a number equal to one-fourth of the entire ,chinese population in the whole country at the beginning of this year4 ,this multitude will rapidly scatter1 moving wherever a demand for their labor attracts them1 and then the pressure at this spot will be lessened1 but the work will remain to be done2 #be1jjj more of these blood-bought souls1 to be brought to a knowledge of their ,redeemer2 #be1jjj more out of whom to gather messengers of salvation1 heralds of the gospel of ,christ's dying love and living power to the myriads ready to perish in their native land4 ,i am sorry to say that my faith in the possibility of securing in any way a more commodious building for this school and for a head-quarters for our entire work1 is not strong4 ,perhaps this is the reason why the oft-repeated petitions of our teachers for more room1 remain without response4 8,according to your faith0 it is said1 8be it unto you40 ,one lady at the ,east1 self-prompted1 or prompted of ,god1 has added to many a previous kindness1 a donation of #ajj1 to be used for this enlargement when it shall become possible4 ,one member of the ,executive ,committee of the ,a4 ,m4 ,a41 who has visited our quarters1 and seen something of the need1 has hinted that the easiest way to get relief would be to ask for the necessary fund to buy or build4 ,i ventured to infer that if this request should be made1 his generous heart and ever-open hand would help the matter on4 ,it would be much that thus we could save to our work #a1bjj per annum now paid for rent4 ,this sum would keep five teachers in the field for a full year4 ,and then we should have a building suited to our needs1 large enough and light enough1 open enough to the pure air of heaven1 to speak for itself a welcome and to bear in itself a blessing to these crowds of needy souls4 ,fifteen thousand dollars would secure this--a place where 7if the predictions of our wisest helpers may be trusted7 #cjj young men1 born in the depths of heathenism1 could be brought every day of every week throughout each coming year1 to sit at ,jesus' feet and hear his word4 ,and a sum much less than that would put my faith concerning it at that mustard-seed point at which our ,saviour assures us 8nothing shall be impossible to you40 ,illustration3 ,,yakut ,,villagers4 ,,children',s ,,page4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,one ,,boy ,,who ,,grew ,,up ,,in ,a ,,cotton ,,patch4 ,,by ,,miss ,,laura ,a4 ,,parmelee4 ,his name is ,frank1 his cotton patch is in ,mississippi1 near the ,sunflower ,river1 and he is teaching school in that neighborhood at this very time4 ,although he is quite grown1 he is not so tall as his highest cotton stalk1 and doesn't look a bit as if he had a story4 ,it is not an uncommon story1 and might be true of a good many ,williams1 or ,henrys1 or ,johns4 ,that is why ,i am so particular to tell you his name and where he lives4 ,most of his time was spent in the field1 but he ate and slept in a rough log-cabin of one room4 ,the chimney was built outside of the cabin1 and was made of sticks and clay4 ,the one window was a board shutter1 swinging on leather hinges4 ,two beds1 a table1 a few dishes1 two or three pots and kettles1 three or four leather-bottomed chairs and a barrel of meal furnished the house4 ,poor as the building was1 a good mother's love made it a dear home to her little children4 ,roses and honeysuckles bloomed around the door all summer1 and in summer and winter the white sand was swept clean with brooms made of twigs tied together4 ,health and work gave appetites for the fried bacon and hoe-cake that furnished the daily meals4 ,baked sweet potatoes with pones and greens were sometimes added to their bill of fare4 ,there was no father to provide for the family1 so the little ones must try the harder to care for themselves4 ,when ,frank was scarcely more than a baby1 he followed his mother and sisters to the field and pulled trash2 that is1 pulled up old stalks and sticks for burning1 to clear the fields ready for the plow1 and1 after the furrow was prepared1 little fingers dropped the fuzzy gray seed into the soft earth4 ,by the time he was five years old1 ,frank had his own light hoe and 8chopped cotton0 almost all day4 ,when the feeble plants had been cut up and the strong ones cleared of weeds1 there was the corn to be hoed and the melon patch to be attended to4 ,in ,august the fleecy white fibre had pushed itself out of the green bolls and the pickers must go to work4 ,with a large bag tied around his neck and shoulders1 ,frank went up and down the cotton patch1 his nimble fingers pulling the feathery cotton from its casings4 ,carefully as he gleaned each bush1 no sooner had the field been once picked than other bolls unlocked their treasures1 and again and again he must go over the same ground4 ,sometimes ,christmas came before the crop was all gathered1 and in ,january the fields must be cleared once more for plowing4 ,playtime never seemed to come to ,sunflower ,river4 ,to plow1 pick cotton1 roll logs and build rail fences--was that all of life8 ,frank wondered about it4 ,two ,sabbaths in the month the family went to the little brown meeting-house that nestled under the trees down by a spring of sweet water4 ,no bell called the people1 yet they came1 on foot1 on horseback1 in wagons from miles around4 ,four or five hundred gathered in and around the church4 ,three or four preachers would occupy the rude pulpit1 and often the services did not close until sunset4 ,some of the ministers could not read a word2 some barely read the text and lined out the hymns4 ,they said a great deal about 8,the green hill far away ,without a city's wall1 ,where the dear ,lord was crucified1 ,who died to save us all40 ,and as ,frank thought of that wonderful scene and how 8,dearly1 dearly1 ,he has loved1 ,and we must love ,him too10 he longed to know more of ,his life and sayings4 ,must he wait to learn of the ,saviour's words--wait until he should meet ,him in heaven8 ,the questioning found a happy answer when he was about fourteen4 ,a summer school was started in the neighborhood1 and on rainy days and at odd times he learned the alphabet1 to make figures1 to form letters and to read4 ,new thoughts came into his mind1 new hopes1 new plans4 ,he heard of a large school up the river where ,northern teachers taught eight months of the year4 ,one day the good mother was startled with the question1 8,may ,i go to school at ,memphis80 ,she could only answer1 8,i am too poor to send you4 ,i can give you nothing but my prayers40 ,but ,frank believed those prayers were worth more than bales and bales of cotton1 and with a few dollars in his pocket he started for the city4 ,he was sure that 8,king ,jesus0 would have compassion upon him as ,he did upon that other young man who 8was the only son of his mother and she was a widow40 ,reaching the strange city1 he soon found a ,christian gentleman who wished a boy to wait on the table4 8,work for his board and go to school10 was the good news sent home4 ,one year went by1 two1 three and four4 ,slow but faithful1 he was going up in his classes1 winning the respect of school-mates and teachers4 ,one ,october1 as he re-entered school1 he modestly told his teachers that he had taught during the summer4 ,it was said so quietly that little heed was paid to it1 until another young man came from the same town and announced that the unostentatious ,frank had done a remarkable work in the way of ,sabbath-school1 temperance and day school4 ,no one had thought him able to do anything of the kind4 ,and these long days1 while you are swinging in hammocks and going to lakes and rivers in the search for cool air1 our young friend is teaching a hundred dusky boys and girls each week day1 and directing the ,bible lessons of a much larger number on ,sunday4 ,he writes to ask for ,s4 ,s4 papers1 for a temperance text book and for the prayers of his teacher4 ,although he did grow up in a cotton patch1 he is a useful man1 and expects to one day see the ,king in his beauty1 in the land that is very far off4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,receipts ,,for ,,july1 #ahhb4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,maine1 #bah4bj4
