readers that the enlargement so greatly needed and so deeply felt by the friends who attended our last annual meeting and reviewed the work of the ,association cannot be accomplished unless the receipts are greatly increased4 99 99 99 99 99 ,we devote considerable space in this issue to a report of a week's work by our lady missionaries4 ,we believe that what they are doing is vital to the welfare of the families from which many of our students come1 and wish to commend the work and workers to the prayers and sympathies of the patrons of this ,association4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,cost ,,of ,,lady ,,missionaries4 ,we sincerely hope that those who read the record of a ,week's ,work by our lady missionaries will carefully consider the value of these labors1 and the importance of the question as to their duty in aiding to supply the vast want that exists at the ,south for this kind of ,christian service4 ,it takes four hundred and fifty dollars to provide for a lady missionary for one year1 including traveling expenses1 board and a moderate salary4 ,are there not some societies of ladies who will pledge us the amount needful1 and by so doing have a missionary of their own in the field8 ,are there not individuals who will promise as much for the same purpose8 ,we shall be most happy to answer inquiries relating to details4 99 99 99 99 99 ,the pastor at ,hampton writes3 8,every night for the last two weeks we have been having meetings for prayer1 and the whole school has been deeply moved4 ,many have already confessed their love for ,christ1 and there are many now seeking ,him4 ,general ,armstrong and all the teachers are thoroughly in earnest in the matter4 ,the ,general made a most earnest appeal to the students last evening1 in which he said that nothing like it had been known in the history of the school40 99 99 99 99 99 ,we have received intelligence from ,rev4 ,d4 ,k4 ,flickinger1 ,d4,d41 who has made in ,liverpool1 ,london and ,glasgow preliminary inquiries relating to the ,john ,brown steamer4 ,it was his purpose on reaching ,sierra ,leone to learn definitely as to the necessary capacity of the boat for the use of the mission4 ,he hoped also to be able to conclude contract with the ,governor of ,sierra ,leone for carrying mails and for doing other business which would be a source of income to the mission without interfering with its special work4 99 99 99 99 99 ,rev4 ,j4 ,m4 ,hall writes from the ,good ,hope ,station of a prosperous year's work among the ,mendi and ,sherbro people4 ,he says3 8,one year ago yesterday ,i took

not including the class and children's ,friday afternoon services4 ,i have received eight persons into the church1 five on profession of faith in ,christ1 have baptized #be children1 and married one couple4 ,i have traveled two thousand miles in search of medical treatment and in the interest of the mission1 notwithstanding that ,i have been confined to my bed and room twenty-two times with this most dreadful fever4 ,we trust that we shall by the grace of ,god be enabled to do more the next year if permitted to live4 ,our schools1 both ,sabbath and day1 have been well attended4 ,the work is certainly a great one and ,i like it more and more every day40 99 99 99 99 99 ,the ,baptist ,home ,mission ,monthly makes its appearance with enlarged form and new dress4 ,its first cover page is tastefully embellished to indicate the scope of work carried on by the ,baptist ,home ,mission ,society4 ,its twenty-four pages are packed with pertinent paragraphs1 passages of ,scripture1 personals1 pictures1 poetry1 there being over one hundred separate articles1 items1 etc41 etc4 ,it is edited with the pen1 quotation marks being particularly scarce4 ,care1 literary skill and discernment have been used in the selection and arrangement of topics1 and wide range has been given in the discussion of matters relating to the world of missions4 ,the work expended on this publication will stimulate other societies in providing missionary literature abreast with the demands of the age4 ,we extend to our ,baptist brethren our gratulations4 99 99 99 99 99 ,a ,,permanent ,,necessity4 ,temporary evils call for temporary agencies and remedies1 but permanent conditions of society require permanent and adequate provisions to meet these demands4 ,the confident prediction that the freedman would rapidly fade away before the superior white races1 suggested to the humane that he should be made comfortable in some sort of field hospital while he lingered1 and made ready1 if possible1 for a speedy departure to a more congenial world1 where perhaps the conditions of life would not be so unfavorable for his continued existence4 ,the figures given by the unsentimental census-taker showing that during the past decade there has been an increase of about #cd per cent4 of this race in our population does not indicate that the black belt stretching along our ,southern horizon is likely to fade away4 ,the negro is here to stay1 and in adjusting him to our natural life we are faced by a permanent1 not a temporary problem4 ,we must either take counsel of the ,egyptians and 8deal wisely0 with this people and so prevent their increase1 or broadly and comprehensively deal with the question of fitting them for a large and permanent place as an integral part and most important factor of our ,republic4 ,if we deal wisely with them we must bear in mind first of all that they are here and will remain here1 and their character and condition will enter largely into that of our national life and character4 ,it is not beyond the limits of modest truth to say that the victory which has been gained over ,southern prejudices against the free common school systems was gained1 not by the political conventions which established them by constitutional provisions1 but by the missionary training-schools and the teachers sent out by them2 but the fact that these are established does not supersede a necessity for the schools which gained this victory4 ,an intelligent gentleman who was appealed to for aid in the endowment of one of these said3 8,private charity has demonstrated the possibility and value of negro education1 but it is a work for which it is altogether inadequate4 ,it must be done in the ,south as in the ,north by the ,states themselves4 ,these rapidly increasing millions must be1 and can be1 cared for alone in schools sustained by government4 ,your missionary1 pioneer1 experimental work has been done so wisely and so well that its success has superseded the necessity of its continuance40 ,the answer to this is of course not far to seek4 ,yale and ,harvard did not grow out of the common school systems of ,massachusetts and ,connecticut1 but made these possible and efficient by supplying the prime conditions of a good school-trained teachers4 ,these colleges were founded not by the ,state1 but by private philanthropy1 as all such schools have been1 for on no theory which has been accepted as to the functions of government can such be built by the ,state4 ,the primary and preparatory work which has been done by the schools of the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 will indeed be remitted1 more and more1 to the common schools of the ,states1 but there will always be a demand and a necessity for fully endowed colleges and universities for the higher education of the teachers and leaders of this people2 and neither the highest efficiency of the public school1 nor the fullest development of such universities as ,vanderbilt and similar schools for the white race1 will lessen the need of such schools as ,fisk and ,atlanta ,universities4 ,if the day shall ever come1 as come it certainly will1 when these schools for whites shall strike out the word white1 and admit all who seek their advantages1 it will come as the result of a work which they are not doing now4 ,the prejudice which now excludes the negro will yield only to established facts1 but will not1 from the nature of the case1 create these facts4 ,when educated negroes in all the public callings of life shall have proved 8that a man is a man for all that10 that what entitles him to respect and honor lies deeper than the color of his skin1 and is not to be determined at all by its peculiar shade1 so that separate schools will not be demanded for him1 he will come in such numbers that those now established for him will be urgently needed for the accommodation of students1 regardless of color4 ,thus are we led by our just and reasonable views to the conclusion that the schools for higher training of the negro1 established by the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 and kindred societies1 are demanded for a permanent work most vitally related to all that is dear to us as ,christians and patriots1 and that permanent and adequate endowments for them must be made if these interests are to be conserved4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,general ,,notes4 ,,africa4 --,on ,nov4 #abth1

that the finest horses in the ,united ,states are raised in this region4 ,lexington is one of the oldest towns of ,kentucky and has a population of #af1ejj1 of which one half is colored4 ,although ,kentucky did not take a very active part in the late war1 yet at its close the provisions for the education of the colored people were as meagre as in other ,states4 ,last ,june the ,association decided to re-open the school1 and accordingly the building was repaired4 ,the cut given herewith represents the house in its present shape4 ,on the first floor there are two large school-rooms capable of seating fifty pupils each1 two large entries and two coat rooms4 ,on the second floor there are two large school-rooms which may be thrown into one by means of folding-doors1 thus forming

among us1 and we are anxiously hoping that some of these dear young people may be turned to the service of ,christ4 ,after dinner ,i went to a distant part of the city to meet a regular appointment for a ladies' prayer meeting4 ,this week the meeting was held at the house of a good sister1 who kindly opened her well-furnished parlor4 ,a good number gathered to hear the word and to mingle their

rheumatism4 ,she has always been contented and happy1 and 8proud0 that she could pay her rent1 fifty cents a week4 ,but to-day it made my heart ache when she said that it took all that 8,wes10 a grandson ten years old1 could make by picking up rags and papers to get something to eat and a little coal4 ,the landlady had just been there for rent1 but she did not know where she could get the money4 ,after reading a few of the ,saviour's words1 and commending her to the ,father's care1 ,i gave her a little toward the rent and left her4 ,i next found two children about two and four years old hovering around a handful of coals2 talked with them a few minutes1 gave them a picture paper and passed on4 ,i then stopped at ,aunt ,gracie's and knocked1 but no answer2 so ,i pushed open the door and went in1 and spoke several times before ,i could rouse her4 ,then with great effort she told me that she had been in bed several days with rheumatism4 ,her miserable shanty is but poor protection from the rain4 ,every thing in the room was damp1 and not a stick of wood or a mouthful of any thing to eat4 ,i carried her a little food and sent to the wood-yard for wood4 ,but the streets1 which are not paved1 were so muddy they would not deliver nor sell even an armful4 ,next ,i find ,mrs4 ,williams1 who has been sick for two months4 ,she is very old1 and has for years

when these people shall obtain a little vantage-ground by industry and--still more essential--by economy and a prudent use of earnings1 so that the children may begin the work of getting an education betimes and continue it until a respectable course of study is thoroughly mastered4 ,we have some such1 and we hope much from the earlier training and the favorable circumstance of their having parents interested in educating them and able to do it4 ,in the cases of a majority1 they come to us already grown-up1 something having given them an ambition for better things than they had known4 ,they have their own way to make and can be in school only a part of each year1 many of them working nights and mornings and one day of each week besides1 to pay their board in whole or in part4 ,as the time approaches when exhausted funds and worn-out clothing must compel them to go out and seek employment1 thoughts will wander and there will be a relaxation in the matter of preparation and recitation of lessons in spite of themselves and the exertions of their teachers4 ,no doubt there is a blessing connected with their struggles against adverse circumstances1 and a manly and womanly self-dependence is fostered in this way1 but it is not to be expected that a great number will complete the course in the face of such discouragements4 ,as year after year passes1 and they get education enough to help them on somewhat in life and a knowledge that fits them to be useful in church1 society and home1 and they yet seem almost as far as ever from the goal of graduation which they once placed before themselves1 they begin to be anxious to settle down to the real business of life1 and they relinquish the hope of a completed normal course with1 perhaps1 a subsequent complete collegiate course4 ,while it is the few of those who enter that go on to the end of the course and the many drop out as ,i have described1 yet we do not consider our labor in vain1 but rather hope to claim the assurance 8,blessed are ye who sow beside all waters40 ,if the teaching were only in the ordinary elementary branches we might think it of little avail unless carried on continuously to a more satisfactory issue1 but much of it is more fundamental than even arithmetic4 ,the entire mode of life is a lesson and a much needed one to most of those who come to us4 ,the regularity of meals with the laws of the dining-room1 the regularity of retiring and rising1 the neatness and order of the rooms1 the care of clothing1 the personal habits1 the sanitary regulations1 the study and exercise1 and the propriety of deportment required1 not to speak of the regular work belonging to the industrial training1 seem to new scholars to form a complete hedge1 if not a bewildering labyrinth2 but a very bright feature of our work is the spirit of subordination and respect for constituted authority1 which greatly simplifies and lightens the enforcement of all necessary rules4 ,this is an excellent and much-to-be commended trait in our students4 ,i have asked some of those who go out to teach if the children in the public schools are easy to govern4 ,oh1 yes1 the answer has been1 they expect to mind4 ,illustration3 ,,ladies' ,,hall1 ,,tougaloo1 ,,miss4 ,it is very edifying to note how those who come without any taste or neatness in their personal appearance1 with sorry attempts at finery and painfully-laced waists1 improve under the tuition of the lady principal and the influence of those who have been here longer1 the expression of the countenance often changing more rapidly and noticeably than even the manner of dress4 ,but1 ,o6 the patience and the faculty required for this most important work of training the girls in womanly virtues and housewifely ways6 ,with all the patience and with all the faculty possible1 it is a great and constant strain to have the care of such a household1 and the matrons and lady principals need the uplifting prayers and sympathy of the warm ,christian hearts interested in these schools1 in a special degree4 ,and then the instruction in the ,bible1 as 8the only and the sufficient rule both of faith and practice0--the value of this work cannot be over-estimated4 ,the case of a young man who came into school for the first time this fall1 comes to mind4 ,living far back from the railroad1 in the country1 he had had no advantages of any schooling but a few brief sessions of the public school4 ,he was entered in the ,third-reader grade and was to all appearance a most unpromising specimen1 although a professed ,christian1 and apparently a sincere one1 with a real experience of trust in ,god1 but wofully untaught as to ,christian character and duty4 ,as the ,scripture was from time to time plainly and searchingly expounded1 and the vices which are sometimes permitted under the garb of religion were exposed1 it was plain to see that he was listening as to a new revelation4 ,in school-room work there was a marked improvement1 especially in the expressiveness of his reading1 but the great benefit that came in his term of school was in the way of moral enlightenment4 ,a month ago he joined the temperance society4 ,the last prayer-meeting was taken up largely with speaking of the temptations that would be met at ,christmas-time to violate the pledge1 and one young man said that1 in view of these temptations he would rather spend ,christmas at ,tougaloo than anywhere else4 ,this young man then 8spoke in meeting0 for the first time1 ,i think1 and said he did not feel that way4 ,it seemed to him that the principal thing he wanted to go home for1 was to tell his people he had become a temperance man4 ,he had been a good deal of a drinker1 a member of church1 too1 and his people were all in the same way1 and didn't know any better1 but now he would tell them that he had found a better way1 and that they1 too1 must forsake the old bad way1 or they would surely go down4 ,he said1 8,if ,i can't keep my pledge1 ,i may as well find it out first as last1 but ,i do believe ,i can4 ,i does feel as if temperance is grafted in here10 laying his hand upon his breast4 ,he hopes to return and bring a sister with him1 but if he cannot get the means and never comes1 is there not here a little bread cast on the waters8 ,the evening before school closed there was a beautiful ,christmas exercise1 consisting of recitations1 ,scripture and music1 lighted by a large star of evergreen filled with burning candles4 ,no doubt many a new idea concerning the universal holiday was imbibed4 ,this was followed by an exhibition by the temperance society4 ,thanksgiving day was a blessed occasion with us4 ,rev4 ,mr4 ,stickel preached on ,tests of ,character1 dwelling upon the test of faith and the test of gratitude1 basing his sermon upon the story of the ten lepers4 ,an opportunity has usually been given1 in connection with the morning service1 for personal testimonies1 and so many had given themselves to the service of the ,lord and so many had been led into a fuller ,christian experience since last ,thanksgiving that there was a real eagerness for this service1 and a somewhat wistful look on a good many faces when the meeting was closed without it4 ,at the end of dinner1 however1 ,president ,pope rose and said such an opportunity would be given then and there2 that we could not spend a portion of the afternoon more profitably nor have a pleasanter sort of after-dinner speeches than in recounting the good dealings of ,god with us4 ,notwithstanding the fact that a ,thanksgiving dinner is about as well calculated to promote a spirit of thankfulness as anything that can be mentioned1 it was a little harder to rise from the table and speak in the dining-room than in the chapel4 ,yet1 after the first momentary hesitation1 the testimonies came1 briefly but freely1 of gratitude for health1 for success in work1 for the privilege of being at school1 for the pardon of sins1 and many other things4 ,one young man said he had felt all the year1 as never before1 that all his blessings came right from the hand of ,god4 ,he had felt it in his teaching1 and had thanked ,god for all his success4 ,he thanked ,god for this school1 and for those friends in the ,north who had established it1 and for all the benefits it is conferring upon the people of this ,state4 ,one youth said he was thankful he had learned the true object of man's life--what he was made for4 ,he used to think a man could serve ,god or let it alone--that his time and faculties were his own1 and he could do as he pleased4 ,but now he had learned that a man's true calling is to serve the ,lord4 ,he was glad to know that the great ,god has something for every one to do1 and has ,his eye upon the way he does it1 and that his reward is according to his faithfulness1 and not according to the greatness of the work4 ,it seemed to make life worth living4 ,prof4 ,salisbury was with us three days of the last week1 in the tour of the schools which he is making to get his work in hand4 ,he gave us a helpful talk in chapel one morning1 and again gave an account of the other schools he had visited1 and we trust his subsequent visits will aid in promoting the symmetry and efficiency of the work of this school4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,indians4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,church ,,and ,,sabbath-,,school ,,work ,,at ,s',,kokomish1 ,w4,t4 ,,by ,,rev4 ,,myron ,,eells4 ,june #bb;d and #bc;d1 #ahgd1 this church was organized with eleven members1 only one of whom was an ,indian4 ,but while there was only one ,indian1 it was hoped that ,god would bless the work so that others would be induced to come in1 and we have not been wholly disappointed4 ,since that time twenty-eight ,indians and half-breeds have joined it and our new church at ,jamestown1 near ,dunginess1 besides thirteen whites who have joined on profession1 and thirteen more by letter1 making seventy-five in all1 including the first members4 ,forty-five ,indian marriages have taken place here in a ,christian way1 and twenty-seven funerals4 ,all of those married1 who are alive1 are still living together1 owing mainly to the ,agent4 ,christian services at funerals are something about which the ,indians at first cared very little1 and often have the dead been hurried off to burial without even letting me know that any one was dead2 and their burying-ground with its small houses and clothes1 cloth and other things1 was a curiosity to visitors4 ,but after a time1 having made some slow improvements1 they opened a new burying-ground1 and when the first grave was made the chief said to me3 8,to-day we become white people4 ,we do not like the idea of having cloth and other things around our graves1 and we expect that there will be none of it here40 ,that was nearly four years ago1 and there are now no such things visible4 ,at a later day ,i was absent when one person died1 and no white man was present at the funeral2 but when ,i returned1 the ,indians asked me to make arrangements so that if ,i should necessarily be absent some ,christian white man should go and help them bury their dead in a ,christian manner4 ,a prayer-meeting was begun here as soon as the present ,agent came 7before there was a church or minister71 which has been constantly maintained1 and its influence has gone into all the ,christian work here4 ,but it has been too old for some of the children1 and too far away and in a wrong language for many of the ,indians2 hence it has been supplemented by children's1 ladies' and ,indian prayer-meetings4 ,it has been my custom1 as ,i have been able1 to hold such meetings with the ,indians at their logging camps4 ,the following incidents show a change4 ,about six years ago they said they did not know how to pray or what to say4 ,so to help them we would say a sentence and let one whom we supposed to be the most suitable in heart repeat over the prayer1 line after line4 ,one evening something comical struck one1 and he burst out laughing in the midst of his prayer4 ,at another time a hunter came home during a prayer-meeting1 and1 without any regard to it1 came in1 throwing down his saddle and things1 and talking very much as if there were no prayer-meeting there4 ,that ,indian of late has been one of the leading ones to pray4 ,another evening1 when ,i was through and was leaving ,i said 8,good night10 and the reply came1 8,good night10 but as ,i was outside the door and shutting it1 the words were added in a not very complimentary way1 in a lower tone and yet so that ,i heard them1 8old man40 ,that ,indian1 after going to great lengths in gambling1 has been one during the past few months to try to induce his relations to enter the right road4 ,i have been reminded of these incidents lately by way of contrast1 because of the earnest requests that have come to me1 during the past few months1 to go to the same place1 and the earnest and apparently hearty thanks which have come from the same persons and the same camp for the same work4 ,about eight years ago an ,indian was wandering around during ,sabbath-school time1 and was asked why he was not inside the church4 ,his reply was1 that the services were so much in ,english that they were dry to him4 ,only when the time came for singing the ,chinook song was he interested4 ,there was only one song1 then1 but the necessity for them seemed to grow until there were enough to make our little book1 in #ahgh1 8,hymns in the ,chinook ,jargon ,language40 ,indians living away from the ,reservation have learned to sing them who have learned but little else about the ,gospel1 because they could not sing them without learning them4 ,they have carried and sung them down the straits to ,cape ,flattery and across the straits to ,british ,columbia1 to ,indians ,i probably never shall see1 and some ,gospel truths have gone with them4 ,the ,indians of both tribes1 however1 ,twanas and ,clallams1 felt that another important step had been taken when last spring they could sing in their own native language4 ,in our ,sabbath-school we have always followed the plan of having the scholars commit five or six verses a week to memory1 and most of those who have done the best in this respect have come into the church4 ,eight out of ten of the highest on the list for #ahgh are now members1 and the same proportion holds good for some other years4 ,in all1 twenty-seven have come in on profession of faith from the ,sabbath-school4 ,illustration3 ,,indians ,,watching ,a ,,train4 99

,there are five distinct missions at work for the ,chinese of ,california1 besides our own4 ,the ,presbyterian has schools in ,san ,francisco1 ,oakland1 ,sacramento1 ,san ,jos1 and1 perhaps1 ,i may add1 at ,napa and ,santa ,rosa1 though ,i am not aware that the work done in these two places is directly connected with their ,board2 the ,methodist mission has schools also in ,san ,francisco1 ,oakland1 ,sacramento1 and ,san ,jos1 and one besides1 at ,chico2 the ,baptist and ,episcopal missions conduct each one school in this city2 the ,united ,presbyterian mission has schools in ,oakland and ,los ,angeles4 ,the total number of schools sustained by all these missions--so far as ,i am informed--is thus #ae4 ,our mission has six schools in ,san ,francisco1 and ten elsewhere4 ,sacramento and ,oakland are the only points outside this city occupied by us and by other missions also4 ,at each of these points our schools were first established1 and we have not felt it due to comity to abandon our work begun and carried on for years because others came in to divide it with us4 ,but we have never yet planted a school in any field already occupied1 unless ,san ,francisco be an exception1 where the occupation was so incomplete1 that we1 ourselves1 having one school1 have established five others4 ,i am led to these remarks partly because the facts1 it seems to me1 are worth reporting1 and partly because1 just now1 questions of comity have been and are still before us to be answered4 ,thus1 in accordance with a purpose expressed at the close of our last fiscal year1 to do something this year for the large colony of ,chinese that has established itself in the town of ,chico1 ,i visited that town last month4 ,i heard of a school as already established--though its existence had been before unknown to the pastor with whom ,i had corresponded4 ,i visited the school2 found four pupils present1 and learned that it was sustained by the ,methodist ,mission4 ,there was room for so much more to be done that ,i made conditional arrangements for planting a school there4 ,the condition was that the ,methodist ,mission should give us cordial welcome and divide the field with us territorially4 ,but our ,methodist brethren say that they would prefer to occupy the whole territory1 and promise to do so in adequate force1 and therefore we have withdrawn4 ,the large town of ,vallejo has a ,chinese population somewhat exceeding #bjj1 and no one was caring for their souls4 ,i determined to put into that field the work which ,i had intended to do at ,chico4 ,i have made arrangements accordingly--renting a mission-house1 engaging a teacher1 and arranging for a helper to go there as soon as the building can be made ready4 ,but the school will be in special relation with the ,presbyterian ,church1 there being no ,congregational ,church1 except at ,south ,vallejo1 nearly two miles distant4 ,i have accordingly said to our ,presbyterian friends that ,i would establish and carry on the school1 subject to transfer at any time when their ,board will assume the care of it1 and will reimburse our treasury for expenses incurred up to the time of the transfer4 ,at ,los ,angeles we had sustained a school for two or three years1 and several of our pupils had been brought so clearly into ,christian light and life that almost immediately after the establishment of a ,presbyterian mission there and the transfer of our work to its care1 they were baptized and received into the ,presbyterian church4 ,but the brother to whose care the work was committed removed1 after about two years1 to ,oakland1 and left it in other hands4 ,this field has now become so large that it need involve no criticism upon the mission already existing there to say that there is room for another1 and that souls in large numbers are walking in darkness that might be led into light1 if we should resume the work we unwisely 7,i now think7 laid down4 ,i propose1 therefore1 to do this as soon as ,i can command the time necessary to visit ,los ,angeles1 unless ,i should then find that the facts have been incorrectly represented to me4 ,two principles of denominational comity suggest themselves as the outcome of my thought on these questions and these fields4 ,the first is no crowding2 the mission already at work in a field1 to be left in sole possession1 provided it will render the service needed there2 the second is1 no possession without occupation2 no leaving of souls to perish because somebody's dog is in the manger1 and a field has been entered but not worked4 ,am ,i right8 ,,sound ,,doctrine4 ,the following sermon-sketch was read for criticism by our helper1 ,lee ,sam1 at our regular exercise last ,wednesday afternoon4 ,i ventured to ask him whether he found what he had written in some commentary1 or whether it came from his own study of the text and of related passages4 ,he told me that it was what he himself had thought out in ,bible study4 ,it may be interesting to see what views of human depravity a thoughtful man unschooled in theology1 unbiassed by ancient traditions1 untrammeled by any standards or any creeds1 has drawn forth for himself from the ,word of ,god4 ,the text was in ,romans1 #e3ba4 8,that as sin hath reigned unto death1 even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by ,jesus ,christ our ,lord40 #a4 ,what is meant by reigning unto death and reigning unto eternal life8 ,it means the work of ,christ and the work of ,adam4 ,what was the work of ,adam8 ,what is the work of ,christ8 ,the work of ,adam was the work of death4 ,the sin of ,adam brought death upon all our race4 ,in the #agth verse of this chapter 8,by one man's offence death reigned by one10 because ,adam transgressed ,god's command by eating the forbidden fruit1 so ,god turned him out of the ,garden of ,eden4 ,but we are of the race of ,adam4 ,he transgressed ,god's will and brought sin upon us all4 ,but some say our hearts are full of good when we are born1 but1 by and by1 we learn the evil from the others4 ,but we don't believe that2 we see sometimes the little baby when he begins to talk1 then he tell lies2 when he begins to walk then he fight with others2 when he know his parents then he disobeys them2 when he grow to be a man then he walks his own way1 it may be 8committing adultery1 fornication1 uncleanness1 lasciviousness1 idolatry1 witchcraft1 hatred1 variance1 emulations1 wrath1 strife1 seditions1 heresies1 envying1 murders1 drunkenness1 revelings40 ,so we know the evil is not learned from the others1 we have it when we are born4 ,by getting away from ,god and doing those wicked things we cause the death of both soul and body4 #b4 ,what is the work of ,christ8 8,in ,christ shall all be made alive40 ,it is said1 ,john1 #e3ba1 8,for as the ,father raiseth up the dead and quickeneth them1 even so the ,son quickeneth whom he will40 ,in ,adam all die1 but in ,christ shall all be made alive4 ,how can we reign unto eternal life8 ,if we want to obtain eternal life we must come to ,jesus and trust in ,him4 ,jesus says1 8,all power is given unto me in heaven and in earth40 ,in #ast ,john1 #b3a1 8,if any man sin we have an advocate with the ,father1 ,jesus ,christ1 the righteous40 ,though we are sinners1 and far from ,god ,he can bring us back4 ,but our ,god hates sin1 he loves us1 and would save us from our sin1 and bring us near to ,him4 8,for ,god so loved the world that he gave ,his only begotten ,son that whosoever believeth in ,him might not perish but have everlasting life40 ,jesus came into the world to save us4 ,his whole life was spent in doing good1 and at last he died on the cross to give his life a ransom for many1 for all who will come to him and be saved4 ,he is able to save us4 ,we are commanded to love the ,lord with all our hearts and with all our minds and with all our souls4 ,adam loved ,god with all his heart1 but lost ,god's love4 ,the ,lord ,jesus1 by his holy spirit1 restores this love in our hearts1 so that we do love him with all our hearts and souls1 and through ,christ we can do all things4 ,without ,jesus we can do nothing4 ,christ gives us victory over death4 ,in #ast ,cor41 #ae3ee1 #ef1 #eg1 8,o death where is thy sting6 ,o grave where is thy victory6 ,the sting of death is sin1 and the strength of sin is the law4 ,but thanks be to ,god which giveth us the victory through our ,lord ,jesus ,christ40 99 99 99 99 99 ,,children',s ,,page4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,lady ,,agnes ,,hamilton4 ,,by ,,miss ,,henrietta ,,matson1 ,,nashville4 ,the teacher was passing from one to another of her pupils1 taking their names4 8,missie1 ,capitola1 ,viola1 ,colly1 ,prudy1 ,vic10 were some of the names already recorded1 but here was a little mite of a girl1 who gravely gave her name as ,lady ,agnes ,hamilton4 ,the teacher smiled1 but kindly said1 8,agnes1 is it not80 8,no1 ,lady ,agnes10 persisted the child1 in a decided manner1 that accorded well with the name4 ,the little lady is1 perhaps1 seven years of age1 but not larger than an ordinary child of four4 ,her face is of a rich olive tint1 and now the scarlet mingles with the brown1 as she becomes confused and excited under the teacher's questioning4 ,her eyes and hair are brown1 the latter with a golden tinge1 falling in short1 crisp curls around her neck and face4 ,the small1 sensitive mouth1 with its childish bloom and sweetness1 tempts the teacher to stoop down and kiss her to atone for disturbing her with doubts in regard to her title and rank4 ,afterward1 the teacher1 becoming acquainted with the little ,lady's mother1 asked if that was her real name4 8,her sure nuff name1 ,miss10 was the reply4 8,young ,miss1 she done names de chile4 ,i was stayin' dar on de ole place1 after de war1 da pays me an' my ole man1 kase we'se free1 an' we stays wid 'em a long spell4 ,my little gal was born dar1 an' young ,miss ,sue1 she say she so little an frail her name should allus be ,lady4 ,we calls her ,lady most times1 but her sure nuff name is ,lady ,agnes ,hamilton4 ,miss ,sue done writ it down4 ,lady feel mighty bad kase de teacher reckon her name somefin else4 ,nary odder name ,miss1 an' dats de truff40 ,her right and title thus established1 the teacher no longer questioned the sweet-faced little ,lady1 and indeed1 soon came to believe that the child belonged to nature's true nobility4 ,she was always1 in school and out1 a veritable little lady4 ,mingling with the dusky children1 who were her playmates1 some of them dirty and ragged1 while her own garments were always daintily neat she never manifested any conscious superiority1 but was always sweet and gentle and happy1 whether the rain fell or the sun shone4 ,the secret of her wonderful sweetness and gentleness was not in that her name was ,lady1 nor because she was a lady1 but because very soon after the school began1 this little girl1 only seven years old1 gave her heart to ,jesus1 and became as truly one of his children1 as though she had waited until she was twenty4 ,jesus1 her ,saviour1 was a real presence to her--a wonderful ,friend1 ever near to help her1 and she was careful in what she said and did1 because she was anxious to please ,him in everything4 ,often the little brown head dropped on the desk before her1 and for a few moments she was very still--then1 when she lifted her face1 the soft eyes always sought her teacher's face1 and a loving look was exchanged4 ,the teacher knew that little ,lady had been given a victory over some temptation that had beset her childish heart4 ,at such moments she was very beautiful1 perhaps it was the beauty of ,heaven shining in her small1 dark face4 ,but she did not die because she was so good1 as is sometimes said of good children4 ,it is a blessed truth that many good children live long lives of usefulness1 in which they are able to do greater things for the ,master1 because they began to love and serve ,him when they were little children4 ,lady ,agnes ,hamilton was for many years a student in one of the institutions of the ,south1 and is now the wife of a minister of the gospel1 leading a happy and
