institutions for whites in the ,south since the war1 has introduced into that portion of the country a new era4 ,it has given a brighter horizon to the blacks and elevated the aspirations of the whites4 ,in many localities it has afforded an entirely new industry1 and given pleasures and pastimes foreign to all the former experiences of the lowly laboring people of that locality4 ,this is especially seen in the anniversaries of the institutions founded through the benevolence of the ,north4 ,these hold their closing exercises at this season1 and in many instances make the country alive with enthusiasm for the progress of the rising generation4 ,there are several features of these occasions that register the tide-mark of a growing civilization1 and are1 therefore1 fitted to encourage those who are watching the destinies of the country and the success of ,christ's kingdom in the world4 ,it is a notable fact that philanthropic people from the ,north are interested to make journeys ,south to attend these anniversaries4 ,something of interest and profit is expected not only by those immediately connected with the schools1 but by the citizens of the country where the school exists4 ,commencement ,day is coming to be a general holiday1 a time when whole families come in for miles to be present to witness the graduation of children or friends2 to hear the fine music1 to

a town about midway from ,avery to ,shengay1 immediately on the coast1 which is quite a suitable place for a mission4 ,this is in charge of ,rev4 ,mr4 ,fowler1 who commenced work at that point the

annual ,normal ,institute at ,hampton for its ,senior class and graduates4 ,the under classes had their customary reviews4 ,the ,indian classes were special attractions1 as usual1 particularly the division of latest comers1 in which some tiny girls and solemn braves emulated each other in telling1 in unexceptionable ,english1 what went into and out of a remarkably omnivorous bag1 and what evolutions were performed by its various contents2 their teacher winning ,dr4 ,eliot's enthusiastic declaration that 8her praises ought to be sounded from the gutter to the university40 ,the ,indians

,livingstone ,missionary ,hall4 ,this and all the other exercises of ,commencement had the added interest of being the first held in our new building--a building in whose beauty and usefulness for school purposes we have rejoiced all the year4 ,ten young people--three graduating from the higher normal course and seven from the college course--listened to the earnest words of ,president ,cravath1 spoken especially to them1 from ,john #ad3bc1 on the power and need of an inner life of communion with ,god4 ,the annual missionary meeting which is always held by the missionary society on the evening of ,commencement ,sunday1 was duly observed4 ,tidings had reached us of the illness of ,secretary ,woodworth1 who was to have given the missionary address1 and1 failing to supply his place1 we were thrown back upon our own existing missionary zeal1 which1 we were glad to find1 burned brightly enough upon the home hearth to make a solemn1 impressive hour of this last ,sunday service4 ,our ,commencement week happened to coincide with 8military week0 in ,nashville1 for which great preparation had been made1 and the city was gaily decorated with the national colors1 and crowded with people4 ,we had feared the effect of the excitement on the school1 but found no cause for anxiety4 ,our pupils were too much absorbed in their work to be drawn away by the attractions of the parade ground1 and our audiences seemed not to be much increased or diminished by the event4 ,the class admitted to college on ,monday evening numbers eight1 three of whom are children of professors in the university4 ,among the essays and orations of the evening1 were pleas to imaginary millionaires in the audience for a gymnasium1 a conservatory of music and other improvements4 ,thus the incoming classes are seeing needs and making demands which the university has no means of meeting4 ,on ,tuesday there drove up to the door of ,livingstone ,hall a furniture wagon1 from which was unloaded a suspicious-looking rectangular box addressed to ,prof4 ,a4 ,k4 ,spence4 ,strange that through the law of association so much of harmony can be suggested by so simple a geometrical form4 ,curious eyes watched the opening1 and saw with delight on lifting the top a handsome ,steinway square grand piano4 ,it was carried into the chapel and placed upon the platform4 ,rumor said it was a gift1 but nothing further could be learned until ,commencement day4 ,in the midst of the exercises of the higher normal graduation on ,wednesday evening1 ,secretary ,woodworth entered and took a retired seat on the platform4 ,his health was so far restored as to enable him to travel1 though not in time to reach us before ,sunday4 ,the alumni address1 which formed part of the programme of the evening1 was given by ,prof4 ,mc,pherron4 ,after this ,secretary ,woodworth was called out from his retirement and spoke for a few minutes4 ,the list of alumni was read1 the present work of each stated and the announcement made that steps had already been taken by the alumni to raise gradually a sufficient sum to endow a professorship in the university4 ,the last great day1 ,thursday1 was as perfect as clear skies and fresh1 dustless air could make it4 ,a large audience of both white and colored people assembled early4 ,the young men marched to ,jubilee ,hall1 and a procession was there formed to return to the chapel4 ,the ,british flag was draped over the platform on this birthday of ,england's queen1 and the room was bright with terraces of flowering plants4 ,the seven young people who appeared as candidates for a degree represent many years of work on the part of student and teacher2 the average length of time spent in the institution by members of the class is seven years4 ,the one young lady took for her theme1 the great field of work opening before and among the girls of the ,south and the necessary training for that work4 ,spoken from her standpoint her words were full of solemn meaning4 ,after the graduates had finished their part1 we listened eagerly to the address of ,dr4 ,washington ,gladden on the causes of poverty1 ignorance and vice--the threefold evil against which we are fighting4 ,when the final piece of music had been sung1 ,prof4 ,spence asked permission to say a few words1 and after some rapid wheeling of pianos to certain places on the platform1 announced that ,mrs4 ,general ,fisk had presented the new piano for the chapel of ,livingstone ,hall4 ,its companion was given by the same lady some years ago for the parlors of ,jubilee ,hall4 ,mention was made of the many other gifts of ,mrs4 ,fisk1 and a vote of gratitude for her kindness was heartily given by the entire audience4 ,to afford an opportunity to hear both pianos together1 ,mendelssohn's wedding march was played as a quartet4 ,a prominent ,southern gentleman of ,nashville1 himself a former slaveholder1 was present for the first time with other invited guests at the alumni dinner1 and spoke warmly1 cordially and strongly for our work4 ,the most encouraging comment that ,i have heard on the exercises of the week was made by a former student1 who was

,talladega1 in ,eastern ,central ,alabama1 is a bright village of a thousand people1 lying high up among the hills1 away from the malaria which lurks in the valleys below4 ,the air is soft and bracing1 the water pure and sweet1 and the whole region eminently beautiful4 ,here ,talladega ,college was founded in #ahfg4 ,the college is beautiful for situation1 and in this respect would contest the palm with any institution we have1 except possibly1 ,fisk at ,nashville4 ,encircled on all sides by green mountain ranges1 lying far up among the hills1 it is one of the most inviting and salubrious spots in the ,state1 and must have been foreordained as the site of a college4 ,the institution is well equipped for work4 ,stone ,hall1 ,swayne ,hall1 ,graves ,hall1 and ,foster ,hall are solid and comely1 and have accommodated more than #bih students the present year4 ,and of the campus1 on which ,swayne ,hall sits1 shaded with superb water oaks1 it must be said we know of nothing finer in the ,south4 ,connected with the college is a farm of some #bjj acres1 mostly cultivated by the young men4 ,here they learn the art1 as well as the science of farming1 and here the supplies for the students' table are principally raised4 ,it may be doubted whether any school of the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 is occupying a more needy field1 or has around it a larger constituency4 ,alabama has a colored population of some #fcj1jjj1 for whom ,talladega ,college is the only institution in the ,state offering to them the advantages of the higher education4 ,for the supply of trained teachers1 of educated ministers1 and of intelligent and reliable leaders--for this immense multitude ,talladega must be the main reliance4 ,the college1 therefore1 has a mission at its own doors1 and for the present has more than it can do to meet the home demand4 ,its students are scattered throughout the ,state1 as teachers and preachers1 and their influence is felt in every public interest4 ,the ,faculty of the college is able1 clear-headed and intensely in earnest4 ,president ,de ,forest is an enthusiast in his work4 ,scholarly1 inspiring1 magnetic and full of faith in the capacity of the negro for the finest culture1 and to reach the highest manhood1 he does not mind the isolation of his position1 nor the ostracism attending it1 but finds perpetual joy in seeing the good work prosper in his hands4 ,it was my good fortune to be present during parts of three days in ,commencement week1 though not permitted to witness the exercises on ,commencement day4 ,of the general air of the school there can be only words of praise4 ,the quiet of the students on the campus1 on the streets1 in the class rooms1 the self-respect in their bearing everywhere manifest1 was a token both of the discipline of the school and of the spirit of the scholars4 ,we heard creditable examinations in grammar1 in ,virgil1 in the evidences of ,christianity and in the life of ,christ4 ,but the exercise which interested us most was the reading of six or seven essays by members of the theological class4 ,these papers1 we were assured1 had received scarcely any alteration in passing through the hands of the professor4 ,they were clear1 sharp1 radical in thinking and independent in style and expression4 ,two college presidents were brought to the bar of criticism1 and it really looked as if the students had the best of the argument4 ,yet there was no appearance of arrogance or of self-conceit2 only the air of honest1 thoughtful men4 ,the class of students as a whole seemed made up of earnest1 aspiring youth1 eager for an education and willing to make every possible sacrifice in order to secure it4 ,as an instance1 ,i saw a man in the grammar school1 somewhere from thirty-five to forty years of age1 who will work in the foundry six months or a year1 and then will take his earnings and go to school as long as they will last4 ,this he has been repeating for years4 ,another was pointed out to me who had worked on the farm a whole year1 and then was using up his credits in schooling and board4 ,i should not give a complete idea of the college unless ,i spoke particularly of its religious tone4 ,this is of the highest1 and was especially satisfactory4 ,president ,de ,forest is a man of profound religious convictions1 and has not the slightest faith in education which does not include the moral as well as the intellectual character4 ,hence the ,bible is put underneath all the courses of instruction1 and religion made the practical and ever-present duty of the daily life4 ,talladega1 like so many other institutions1 needs endowments for its various chairs of instruction4 ,for lack of these it is sadly limited in the good it might accomplish1 and its ,faculty are badly handicapped and bearing burdens which are making them old before their time4 ,let me whisper into the ear of men who are asking what they shall do with the wealth committed to their care3 ,here is an object worthy of their largest charity1 and1 at the same time1 an object most needy and most appealing4 ,let them give to this thousands and tens of thousands1 and they will make no mistake4 ,,straight ,,university1 ,,new ,,orleans4 ,,rev4 ,w4 ,s4 ,,alexander1 ,d4,d4 ,it would1 we believe1 be the judgment of the ,faculty and the public1 that the past year has been one of exceptional prosperity4 ,our catalogue shows a roll of #chj names with an average attendance larger than any previous year4 ,the examinations in the ,law ,department came first in order4 ,the ordeal was severe1 certainly a fair test of legal reading1 and fidelity to lectures4 ,ten young men1 eight white and two colored1 met this ordeal with great credit to themselves and their instructors1 and received their degree of ,bachelor of ,law4 ,they have since been admitted by the ,supreme ,court to practice in all the courts of the ,state4 ,it should be mentioned as a sign of growth in public sentiment1 that one of the ,professors in the ,law ,department1 a native ,charlestonian1 has lately published a ,book on ,admiralty ,law1 and on the title page appended to his name the following3 8,professor of ,commercial ,law1 ,equity1 and ,admiralty in ,straight ,university40 ,the ,sumner ,literary ,society was addressed by ,gen4 ,r4 ,b4 ,elliot1 formerly in ,congress from ,south ,carolina4 ,he is one of the most eloquent representatives of the colored race4 ,his treatment of the theme 8,the ,advance of ,civilization in the ,united ,states10 was able1 eloquent1 and scholarly4 ,it was a rare pleasure to listen to him4 ,he was a friend of ,charles ,sumner1 and the dead statesman had no more eloquent eulogist than he4 ,our ,alumni ,association was addressed by ,rev4 ,a4 ,e4 ,p4 ,albert1 of the class of '#ha4 ,his oration was a careful defense of the negro against the rude and savage assaults recently made upon him4 ,a poem was delivered by ,mr4 ,colwell1 of ,baton ,rouge1 of the class of '#gi4 ,it possessed real poetic merit1 and was gracefully delivered4 ,he was cheered to the echo4 ,it was interesting to observe the hearty enthusiasm of the audience over 8the coming poet40 ,the ,annual ,exhibition at the ,university ,chapel1 under the direction of our most faithful and efficient ,dean1 was a great success4 ,the ,chapel was crowded to excess1 and a happier audience is seldom gathered4 ,our ,commencement on ,tuesday evening in ,central ,church was an indication both of the excellence and efficiency of the instruction afforded by the ,university1 and the strong hold which the school has gained in the public regard and appreciation4 ,the large auditorium was crowded4 ,a fair estimate of the audience would place it at #hjj1 and they remained with delighted attention from #h o'clock to #aa o'clock4 ,four young men and one young woman graduated from the ,classical ,department1 and two young men from the ,higher ,english ,department4 ,their orations were well and carefully written1 showing mature thought and manly convictions4 ,it was certainly suggestive of the possibilities of the race to see the manly bearing of these young people1 and to hear them treat with real ability and eloquence such themes as 8,the first ,century of the ,republic10 8,the ,survival of the ,fittest10 8,pride of ,race0 and 8,head ,workers and ,hand ,workers40 ,to those who have a chronic habit of detracting from the abilities of the negro we say1 8beat them if you can40 ,it was a delightful feature of ,commencement that the son of our beloved dean took his diploma in the ,higher ,english ,department1 and delivered an oration on 8,the ,future ,fields of ,conquest in ,science10 which did credit to his heart and his head4 ,we departed from our usual custom in conferring upon two of our graduates the degree of ,bachelor of ,science4 ,it was the judgment of the ,faculty and our ,board of ,trustees that this should be done4 ,the young men have devoted several years to classical and scientific study in the ,university2 their scholarship has averaged #i on a scale of #aj1 and they have pursued such special studies as the ,faculty have assigned them4 ,at the close of the regular examination a special examination was appointed for them before a committee of the ,board of ,trustees1 in whose presence they also read a scientific thesis1 the one on 8,applied ,electricity0 and the other on 8,the ,copernican ,system40 ,thus closes another school year1 and we are able to say as never before3 8,hope is in the ascendant0 for our beloved ,university4 ,service this year has been a joy1 and ,almighty ,god has crowned that service with his blessing4 ,to ,him be all the glory4 ,,tougaloo ,,university4 ,the assembling of the ,sunday-school and the study of the lesson entitled ,paul and ,barnabas in ,cyprus1 with 8,separate me ,barnabas and ,saul for the work whereunto ,i have called them10 as its key-note1 seemed a most fitting introduction to the ,commencement exercises upon the close of which a large number of the students were to go forth to their summer's work4 ,following the ,sunday-school exercises1 and in keeping with the custom of previous anniversaries of this institution1 a ,sabbath-school convention was held1 in which was discussed a variety of topics calculated to stimulate and aid the students in their ,sunday-school work4 ,these exercises were enjoyed by a large number of people1 many of whom were from a distance4 ,at #g3cj ,p4,m4 the chapel was again filled4 ,the well-drilled choir sang 8,i will lift up mine eyes unto the hills0 in a way to inspire all present4 ,the sermon to the graduating class was upon the words1 8,return to thine own house and show how great things ,god hath done unto thee40 ,monday1 ,tuesday and ,wednesday were occupied with the oral examinations of the different departments4 ,these examinations were well sustained by the students1 who gave good evidence that their instructors had been faithful and thorough in their work4 ,the attendance of visitors upon the examinations was good1 but as the last day drew near1 large numbers arrived by every train4 ,many came by their own conveyances4 ,one persistent young man1 a former student1 eager to attend the ,commencement1 came a distance of thirty miles on foot4 ,on ,wednesday evening the audience room was filled with an expectant throng4 ,the exhibition which called it together was greatly enjoyed1 and reflected much credit upon those charged with the laborious task of planning and training and bringing it to pass4 ,when ,thursday morning dawned1 many more were added to the number of visitors already present4 ,the audience assembled promptly at #aa o'clock4 ,members of the ,state ,board of ,visitors1 with other distinguished guests1 were upon the platform4 ,the music by the choir elicited much praise4 ,three young men and two young women having completed the ,elementary ,normal ,course were graduated1 receiving certificates of fitness to teach the common ,english branches4 ,five others were appointed to supplement the programme of literary exercises4 ,the essays and orations presented covered the following range of topics3 8,the ,teachers20 8,genius and ,success20 8,whitewash20 8,why a ,young ,man ,should ,seek a ,thorough ,education20 8,the ,material ,advancement of the ,south20 8,the ,cause

certificates to the graduating class1 setting forth in a few well chosen and emphatic words the nature of these certificates1 of the step the graduates had taken1 and that there was more beyond4 ,col4 ,j4 ,l4 ,power1 editor of the ,clarion1 a man of wide influence in the ,state and a staunch friend of the school1 spoke on behalf of the ,state ,board of ,visitors1 of which he is the ,secretary4 ,he paid a glowing tribute to the work of the school and of the ,american ,missionary ,association4 ,in referring to the essay on 8,whitewash10 he said there was no whitewashing done at ,tougaloo--that it was the genuine stuff4 ,referring to the oration on the ,american ,missionary ,association1 he said he had known considerable about the ,association and its work1 but that he was amazed at the magnitude of its work4 ,in closing his speech1 which also was without 8whitewash10 he said it would be the pleasure of the ,board of ,visitors at the meeting of the next ,legislature to ask for at least as large an appropriation as the institution had received for the last two years4 ,rev4 ,dr4 ,c4 ,b4 ,galloway1 ,editor of the ,southern ,christian ,advocate1 was then introduced4 ,he commended the work of the institution and expressed his satisfaction with the original1 direct1 practical1 common-sense way in which the essays and orations had been written and presented4 ,he was impressed with the absence of grandiloquent gush1 so characteristic of the youthful mind on ,commencement platforms4 ,after the ,commencement dinner the graduating class held their 8,ivy ,exercise10 which consisted of a class song1 class poem1 planting the ivy and an address by a member of the ,faculty4 ,in the evening ,r4 ,w4 ,jackson1 class of '#hj1 delivered the address before the ,alumni1 on 8,decision40 ,it was well written and full of interest4 ,at its close ,mr4 ,g4 ,w4 ,jackson of ,whiteside1 ,tenn41 a former student1 and ,miss ,rosa ,mc,cutcheon of ,chattanooga1 ,tenn41 class of

,,theological ,,department1 ,,howard ,,university4 ,,rev4 ,j4 ,g4 ,,craighead1 ,d4,d4 ,the anniversary exercises were held in the ,fourth ,presbyterian ,church1 ,washington ,city1 ,may #d1 when six young men who had completed the regular three years' course of study received the usual certificate of the department4 ,five delivered addresses before a large audience1 and were subsequently complimented by many of the most judicious friends of the race who were present1 for the discriminating and just treatment of their subjects1 and for their evident improvement of the advantages of instruction which they had enjoyed4 ,one of the graduates sails in ,june for ,africa1 as a missionary of the ,presbyterian ,board2 another is waiting an opportunity to labor on the same continent2 the remaining four go to the wide and needy field in the ,south--each in a different ,state1 so great is the demand for capable laborers4 ,the past year has been one of marked favor and prosperity to the department4 ,thirty-four students have been under instruction1 and there has been no interruption in study1 by reason of sickness1 either on the part of professors or students4 ,the location of the institution on the high ground north of the city1 overlooking both it and the ,potomac ,river1 is most conducive to health1 while it secures the quiet essential to educational work4 ,with a complete and regularly systematized course of studies extending over three years2 with six ,professors 7thanks to the wise liberality of the ,american ,missionary ,association7 imparting instruction in all the branches of study pursued in like theological seminaries in this country1 pious young men can here be prepared to become effective workmen for ,christ1 either at home or abroad4 ,as these advantages become better known to those wishing to study for the ministry1 we may expect that an increased number will seek to profit by them4 ,and this is desirable for many reasons4 ,with our present facilities we could equally well instruct twice or thrice the present number did the men present themselves having the proper preliminary education for the study of theology4 ,our greatest need is scholarships1 both to secure this elementary training and to assist students while in the theological department4 ,without some aid1 but few can obtain a proper education for usefulness in the university4 ,not much is required1 as compared with what white students require and receive1 but this little is necessary to stimulate personal effort1 and to help them over insurmountable obstacles on the road to useful knowledge4 ,is there a cheaper or better way for patriots or ,christians to solve this social1 political1 moral and religious problem8 ,,wilmington1 ,n4,c4 ,,by ,,mr4 ,w4 ,h4 ,,thrall4 ,perhaps the tendency of this people is to give much prominence to showy performances4 ,we have aimed this year in ,wilmington to check this1 and not to allow preparations for the 8exhibition0 to interrupt regular recitation-room work4 ,the scholars were early given to understand that the last monthly examinations would be more than usually difficult2 that they would be oral as well as written1 and that very much would depend upon the results4 ,the last four days of the school year were given up to the examinations4 ,if the readers of ,,the ,,american ,,missionary could have hurried through the deep sands of ,wilmington's streets1 to our school building on one of those days1 they would have seen four rooms crowded with anxious workers1 telling with tongue or pen1 what they had been learning during the months past4 ,some of the pupils1 after writing steadily for two or three hours at a time begged the privilege of continuing their work at the noon recess and after school hours4 ,the papers spoke for the thoroughness of the work that they had done4 ,upon the walls were hung map drawings1 specimens of penmanship and of freehand drawing1 that would compare well with exhibits which ,i have seen in rooms of the same grades in the best schools in the ,north4 ,in the ,first ,primary ,room were two things of especial interest3 a table covered with needle-work made by the smallest girls of the school1 and two sets of papers placed side by side1 showing the penmanship1 spelling1 figures1 etc41 of the same pupil in ,october1 #ahhb1 and in ,may1 #ahhc4 ,the work of the pupils of that room at the number-table1 and their writing and reading1 encourage us that there is reason for hope in the coming generation of colored people4 ,the closing exercises of the school were held ,tuesday evening1 ,may #bith4 ,the hall1 the aisles1 entries1 doors and windows were crowded4 ,the men even climbed the verandas to reach us4 ,the pupils had flooded us with the choicest flowers1 grasses and foliage1 and the hall was beautifully decorated4 ,the part the pupils had in adorning it spoke well for their taste4 ,at the appointed time the audience of between four and five hundred was called to order1 and the programme commenced4 ,for two hours and a half the throng sat or stood1 listening to recitations1 declamations1 dialogues1 essays1 one oration1 songs1 etc4 ,i wish the people of the ,north who question the promise of this race could have been present4 ,there was hardly one hesitation in the recitations2 the essays and oration showed thought and good ,english2 and little boys and girls gave concert recitations in perfect unison4 ,important features of the programme were1 a tableau called 8,the tempted boy and the guardian angel10 designed to give an object lesson on temperance1 and an illustrated poem by pupils of the ,grammar and ,normal ,room4 ,both of these exercises proved the pupils' readiness to understand and their quickness to execute4 ,the teacher in charge had but little time to teach them1 yet everything was done with ease and rapidity4 ,the evening's entertainment was a fresh exhibit to us all of the talent and the tact that lie dormant in this race1 which is to be the ruling race in twelve ,states at no distant day2 and we bade 8good-bye0 to our pupils with new courage to go on with a work which must be slow1 but is essential to the very life of our country4 ,,emerson ,,institute1 ,,mobile1 ,,ala4 ,,by ,,miss ,,helen ,d4 ,,barton4 ,anniversary exercises at ,emerson ,institute1 ,may #beth4 ,the much-talked-of and long-looked-for last day of school had come4 ,though it was the last day many of the last things had already been done4 ,the last hour of hard study was over1 the last recitation heard1 the last examination paper marked4 ,the two days preceding had been devoted to what were1 by courtesy1 called oral examinations4 ,in reality1 however1 much of the time1 in the lower rooms at least1 was devoted to the entertainment of the visitors4 ,the favorite songs were sung and the best recitations made4 ,if ,george ,washington's mother or sister came in1 ,george's classes were called1 his slate work was examined and compared with others1 and he was invited to recite his 8speech40 ,a variation from the programme was made again and again that as far as possible the visitors might judge of the work of the children in whom they are more especially interested4 ,this could be done as the certificates for promotion were given on the standing of the pupils in the written examinations held the second week in ,may4 ,friday morning the children came together as a school for the last time4 ,after devotional exercises the departments were dismissed to their own rooms1 where the teacher read the per cents4 of the examinations and presented each pupil with a certificate grading him for the coming year4 ,many faces brightened with pleasure4 ,some few showed dissatisfaction2 having fallen slightly below the desired average they find the obnoxious word conditionally written on the card4 ,others still feel bitter disappointment2 having failed1 they must remain in the same grade4 ,some of these deserve our sympathy1 the failure being caused by poverty or sickness2 others are only reaping the reward of carelessness and indolence4 ,when the distribution of certificates was completed1 ,miss ,caughey1 the principal1 went in turn to each department1 and after adding her word of encouragement to the disappointed ones and approbation to the successful ones1 invited the promoted class to seats in the room the next grade above4 ,this ceremony was impressive1 and many showed the conflicting emotions of joy and sadness1 joy at the honor conferred and a sadness at the thought of separation from teacher and schoolmates which caused them to go reluctantly to the places assigned4 ,at the appointed hour in the evening the assembly room was filled to overflowing with the eager happy children and their friends4 ,after prayer by ,rev4 ,o4 ,d4 ,crawford the exercises given by the pupils were called in1 according to the programme4 ,mr4 ,crawford and ,general ,slaughter1 ,post-,master of the city1 made brief remarks4 ,where each one endeavored to do his best1 it is difficult to mention those who excelled4 8,mother ,goose and her ,friends0 chiefly served the spice for the entertainment4 ,one of our white friends found it difficult to believe that this ancient singer of nursery rhymes was not a middle aged woman instead of the young girl she really is4 ,the 8,friends0 were received with enthusiasm also1 even down to the 8brave boy0 ,johnnie ,horner1 the baby of our school4 ,the tableau of 8,hiawatha0 was thoroughly enjoyed4 ,in 8,songs of ,seven10 the recitations 8,seven ,times ,one10 by little ,odelia ,chavanah and 8,seven ,times ,seven0 by ,miss ,sallie ,washington1 were received with gratifying applause4 ,the valedictory by ,miss ,belle ,daniels deserved and received high praise4 ,to critical eyes1 no doubt1 many defects were evident2 but our audience seemed well pleased and congratulations were freely given4 ,i think most of those present would agree with old ,aunt ,gracie in her remark1 summing it all up3 8,it was delightful to be looked at40 ,,le ,,moyne ,,institute1 ,,memphis4 ,a large amount of space is given in the ,memphis ,daily ,appeal1 the ,daily ,memphis ,avalanche and the ,public ,ledger to reports of the anniversary exercises of the ,le ,moyne ,institute4 ,these1 with accompanying editorial paragraphs1 indicate the high esteem in which ,prof4 ,steele and his corps of workers are held and the appreciation of his school4 ,the anniversary was attended by two thousand people4 ,the enthusiasm is represented to have been continuous from the beginning to the end of the exercises1 and the effort of ,prof4 ,steele to raise money for the ,institute from the citizens of ,memphis was endorsed by many present4 ,we give below an extract from the ,appeal which represents how our work is regarded by the better class of ,southern people4--,,ed4 ,the feeling in this city in favor of universal education was never stronger than it is now4 ,this is plainly shown by the interest everywhere manifested in the ,le ,moyne ,institute or school for negroes1 which gave so enjoyable an entertainment at the ,greenlaw ,opera-house ,monday night4 ,a number of prominent citizens who were present expressed the greatest surprise and astonishment1 and the opinion was general that the inculcation of ideas such as those of which the graduates seemed possessed was bound to do good to them1 and by reflection upon the balance of the community4 8,was the entertainment at the ,opera-house just as you reported it80 asked a gentleman of an ,appeal reporter yesterday4 8,justice was not fully done10 was the reply4 8,and the ,le ,moyne is a colored institution80 8,yes40 8,you surprise me10 the gentlemen replied4 8,i have heard the ,le ,moyne frequently spoken of1 but had no idea it was accomplishing all it is said to have done4 ,why1 the subjects chosen by the essayists could be handled only by those possessed of considerable knowledge40 8,yes1 it is a new idea in the ,south10 remarked a listener1 who had been present at the entertainment1 8and ,i find it difficult to say whether ,i was most surprised or delighted4 ,i heard every essay and recitation from beginning to end1 and there was not a break or stumble1 no stopping to recover breath1 no tedious repetitions4 ,the absence of the parrot was noticeable4 ,the novelty of the affair held my attention at first1 but ,i soon forgot this1 and found myself drifting along with the essayists as they waded into their subjects4 ,another thing that struck me forcibly was the absence of rant in the young men and the failure to giggle on the part of the young women4 ,they seemed to take it as a matter of course that they were there1 and that their audience would be interested in what they might have to say4 ,i1 for one am heartily in favor of keeping up the good work4 ,no man who thinks can say that every negro in the land would not be better off and better fitted to cope with the age in which lives1 if he had enough education to enable him to throw off the dense cloud of superstition--a mixture of ignorance and faith--in which he is now enveloped4 ,the country would be better1 its tone purer and healthier1 if every man in it were educated40 8,the music furnished by the graduates particularly attracted me10 said a lady teacher who heard it4 8,i have always contended that the negro had a passion for music of a certain rich and melodious kind1 but could not appreciate its delicate shading1 and could have no conception of it as a science4 ,i am ready now to say ,i was mistaken4 ,though the music the other night was nothing extraordinary1 ,i heard enough to convince me that its interpreters had a good idea of symphony1 and could with proper training1 rise to a high degree of excellence4 ,the solo #8,i'll ,follow ,thee'1 was one of the sweetest things ,i ever heard in public or private4 ,the voice of the young woman who sang it was pure and clear1 every cadence soft and melodious1 every note in perfect tune4 ,it was a genuine revelation40 8,the whole entertainment was a revelation to me10 remarked an old planter4 8,i attended the exhibition out of pure curiosity1 never dreaming that it would impress me as it has done4 ,i have always scouted the idea of negro education1 and ,i may say ,i have been its enemy4 ,i am perfectly willing to give way now1 however4 ,but ,i have one lingering fear--that it will take a wrong direction and have a tendency to create an idle class and deplete the ranks of labor1 farm labor especially4 ,if those who have the training of the negro will keep this danger before them and guard against it1 then the result of their labor will be good2 but if they fail and allow their pupils to think labor is degrading2 to think that man's only province is to cultivate his mind1 then the result will be deplorable4 ,this ,i notice1 however1 has already been seen1 and ,i cannot say ,i have any fears on that score from the ,le ,moyne ,institute40 ,perhaps no subject has been more discussed than this since the exhibition last ,monday night4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,indians4 99 99 99 99 99

with some of the tribes where the ,catholics have had teachers has kept up remembrance of those early times4 ,one ,indian especially1 who has been among the very worst1 belongs to this class4 ,having failed to conquer the agent1 he gave up1 but when he returned seemed determined if he failed in one way to try another1 and so began to revive the old ,catholic religion1 and he has held such services frequently for a number of years4 ,about two years ago an ,indian before his death saw several strange visions1 which combined some truth with much of the old ,indian superstition4 ,this man leaned toward the ,catholics1 partly because ,i did not believe these revelations to be of as much value as the ,bible1 and partly because his relations favored the ,catholic religion4 ,a few of them set up regular services1 partly ,catholic and partly after their own revelations4 ,at funerals they sometimes wished me to officiate in company with them1 but in most cases they have given up and let me have the whole service4 ,last fall another ,indian who had moved away and taken a homestead about #bj miles from here apparently died1 but after six and a half hours revived and told of wonderful things which he had seen4 ,he has since been baptized by the ,catholics1 built a church and become a priest4 ,last summer ,i spoke of two promising young men whom ,i hoped would be of great ,christian service here4 ,the most promising after doing very well for a time1 brought great disgrace upon himself and was suspended from the church4 ,i have tried to show him his error1 but thus far it has not produced the result desired4 ,these ,indians have almost entirely lost faith in their old religion as such1 but naturally want one of some kind4 ,they are1 however1 unwilling to give up their horse-racing and some of them their gambling4 ,i have been asked by several to baptize them1 but refused because of these things4 ,the ,catholic religion allows all this1 and so they have turned to it4 ,the consolidation of the three ,puget ,sound agencies into one last fall has given us thus far less moral force here4 ,there have been occasional light spots4 ,a letter came from ,pearl ,street ,church1 in ,hartford1 where ,i taught a ,sabbath-school class fourteen years ago1 offering us a barrel4 ,it seemed very providential1 as if ,god were saying3 8,you work on1 and ,i will take care of the support40 ,the barrel came and everything appeared to be so good that the children squealed1 as they do not often1 while each article was taken out1 and their mother often said3 8,how very thoughtful the people were10 and we all had to thank ,god for it4 ,i have just returned from a visit to the ,clallam ,indians4 ,i found some of them doing well and some very badly1 the agent having during the past seven months had six times as many ,indians to look after as formerly1 and the best subordinates which he has been able to obtain have disappointed him4 ,on the other hand1 some have done quite well1 especially those who have procured land for homes4 ,the ,christian ,indians thus far stand well4 ,they are not perfect1 but progressing4 ,two were received into the church during my visit1 and three others joined last ,november4 ,the school-teacher1 who had resigned1 left while ,i was there1 and it is thought best to give them a long vacation before sending them another4 ,he had charge of the ,sabbath-school4 ,the church expects to keep up its regular services1 including that of the ,sabbath-school and a weekly prayer-meeting4 ,i have been fortunate in procuring some large1 cheap ,bible pictures1 which have taken the fancy of the ,indians very much4 ,they have been in demand by all classes4 ,i have already obtained or ordered about #ahe of them4 ,i can impart religious truth by them better than in any other way4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,chinese4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,anniversaries--,,the ,,work ,,during ,,april ,,and ,,may4 ,,rev4 ,w4 ,c4 ,,pond4 ,my report of progress in our ,mission covers two months and even more4 ,it will be difficult to compress within my space all that ,i would like to say4 ,our mission at ,santa ,cruz celebrated its second anniversary on ,sunday evening1 ,april #h4 ,it was an occasion of great and encouraging interest4 ,instead of the fifteen or twenty ,chinese present at the previous anniversary1 we had at least fifty with us4 ,instead of an assembly of ,americans occupying in respectable numbers the pews of the church1 we had every inch of available standing-room occupied1 and ,i am told1 at least two hundred went away from the church door1 unable to enter4 ,the fact that ,chinese once settled in ,santa ,cruz1 seem inclined to stay there1 and that consequently the membership of the school has been less changeable than in some other places1 gave us a better opportunity than is sometimes afforded to measure the progress during a year4 ,the showing gave me great encouragement4 ,there had been marked progress in the use of the ,english language and in the knowledge of the truth4 ,best of all1 several who a year ago were heathen1 now seem to be true followers of our ,lord ,jesus ,christ4 ,the contribution was the largest ,i ever received on any such occasion1 except in our own ,bethany ,church4 ,it amounted in cash and in pledges to over #ajj4 ,our schools in ,san ,francisco celebrated their eighth public anniversary on ,april #bi4 ,this1 too1 was an exceedingly interesting service1 and our ,bethany ,church was filled4 ,the point of special interest and encouragement about it was this3 ,that while the exercises were in all respects equal to those of any previous year1 we were not obliged to call in the aid of any of our helpers1 except as they assisted in the service of song4 ,the original address in ,english by ,lung ,chung was a frank1 manly and effective statement of his own ,christian life1 with its faults and shortcomings1 as well as its new1 strange light and peace4 ,i lay before the readers of the ,,missionary the following paragraph1 which ,i placed in the ,pacific of ,may #i4 ,i trust they will be interested in the statement of facts1 and am not without hope that they will listen kindly to the appeal3 8,the monthly reports for ,april show seventeen schools in active operation and thirty-nine teachers and helpers employed4 ,the total number of pupils enrolled was #iia2 the average attendance1 #dae4 ,the attendance in this city is temporarily diminished on account of the darkness of the streets2 otherwise the enrollment would have exceeded #a1jjj1 and the average attendance would have approached #ejj4 ,of those now in attendance on the schools #agb profess to have ceased from idolatry1 and #aaf are believed to be true ,christians4 ,two hundred and thirty-one new names were enrolled1 and the total number who have been connected with our schools during the last eight months is no less than #b1cef4 ,with the beginning of this month of ,may1 another school is added to our list--the one in ,alameda4 ,it has been sustained for several years with a most ,christ-like devotion by ,mrs4 ,e4 ,l4 ,wilson4 ,unable to carry it on any longer alone1 she appeals to our mission for aid1 and though the operations already in hand task our resources to their utmost1 we could not let so good a work as ,mrs4 ,wilson had been doing die for the lack of a helping hand4 ,it will be necessary to raise in addition to the appropriation made by the ,american ,missionary ,association1 #e1ejj to carry this work through to ,august #ca1 the close of the present fiscal year4 ,the utmost care is taken to make each dollar do its best1 but it is impossible to sustain so large a work on less than #a1jjj per month4 ,a careful review of the statistics given above will lead1 ,i am sure1 not to criticism of the amount1 but rather to surprise that at so little cost so much has been accomplished4 ,of the #e1ejj needed1 ,i have on hand1 or in sight1 #c1jjj1 and for the balance ,i make an earnest appeal to our churches1 and to all friends of ,christ and of humanity40 99 99 99 99 99 ,,bureau ,,of ,,woman',s ,,work4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,to ,,the ,,ladies ,,of ,,the ,,congregational ,,churches4 ,,dear ,,friends3 ,permit me to call your attention to the urgent needs of the ,american ,missionary ,association in its department of ,woman's ,work4 ,many earnest ,christian women are personally engaged as missionaries at the ,south1 and among the ,chinese and the ,indians4 ,they give instruction in home duties1 improved housekeeping1 family government1 the best use of money2 they gather children into ,sunday-schools1 teach in day and boarding-schools--bearing with them always the blessed ,gospel truth1 the foundation on which we build4 ,we need your aid in the support of these missionaries and missionary teachers1 who will thus become your representatives in the field4 ,laboring with a lowly and despised people1 they are cut off in many instances from social privileges1 and your ,christian love and remembrance will give strength and good cheer4 ,we need scholarships to aid worthy and needy students4 ,our boarding-schools are doing a great work for girls1 and often a young girl is saved to a useful life by supplementing her meagre funds and retaining her in school4 ,we need supplies of clothing for distribution by missionaries in getting the young into school and ,sabbath-school2 also furnishing of bed and table linen for mission homes and boarding halls4 ,already our matrons are asking supplies of this kind4 ,we are indebted to the ladies of many of the ,congregational churches for valuable aid rendered1 and now that the way is opened for more direct communication with you1 may we not hope that all will become co-workers with our noble band of missionaries in seeking to instruct and benefit the women of races so ignorant and degraded as those with whom we labor8 ,we invite special correspondence in regard to the various fields and the aid that can be given4 ,surely so important a work1 not limited to schools1 but extending to the family and the church relations1 cannot be accomplished until woman reaches forth her hand to sister woman in uplifting helpfulness4 ,yours truly1 ,d4 ,e4 ,,emerson1 ,secretary4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,mission ,,homes4 ,,miss ,d4 ,e4 ,,emerson4 8,what is the ,mission ,home80 ,the question has often been asked by friends contributing to our work1 as well as by those about to engage in it1 and from the latter we have had some rather striking descriptions of what they supposed the home to be1 and of their pleasant surprise upon reaching it4 ,it is not a boarding hall for students1 as many have thought4 ,such halls are in connection with boarding schools and accommodate both teachers and students4 ,the ,mission ,home1 of which we give a specimen in the accompanying cut1 is at stations where we have churches and day schools1 and is the home of the pastor and teachers4 ,in some of the larger cities1 as ,wilmington1 ,n4,c41 ,savannah1 ,ga41 ,mobile1 ,ala41 we have graded schools requiring a teaching force of from six to ten persons4 ,then there are the pastor and family and the lady missionary1 and the home accommodates all4 ,as each has a special line of duty occupying the full time1 a matron is appointed to take charge of household affairs and secure by her good management a pleasant and happy home for the family4 ,sometimes the wife of the pastor or principal acts as matron1 sometimes the duties of matron and missionary are combined4 ,it is no insignificant position to have charge of such a home1 and our matrons are as truly missionaries as any in our field2 besides the direct opportunities of usefulness among the people1 they may add to the efficiency of every member of the family by the cheerful1 genial1 restful spirit of the home1 which it is largely in their power to maintain4 ,this plan of ,mission ,homes has its advantages to the work4 ,it gives opportunity to teach by example varied lessons in home life1 of neatness1 economy and thrift4 ,the family altar is set up1 and often some members of school or church join in the morning or evening song of praise4 ,social parlor-gatherings are had1 when the people are cordially invited and are engaged in pleasant conversation and games1 which1 while interesting them1 tend to their improvement4 ,here are often held the mothers meetings and the sewing class1 and daily the people come singly or by twos or threes for special help and advice1 knowing that they are welcome1 and that they will find in some members of the family the wise counsellor and friend4 ,we can scarcely overestimate the educative influence of these ,mission ,homes upon the people4 ,even where there are but few workers employed1 we cannot wisely dispense with them4 ,within a year we have built a small house in a country district where two ladies are employed as missionary teachers4 ,it is plain1 two stories1 contains five rooms1 is simply furnished1 and cost about #ijj4 ,there the ladies keep house1 and they testify1 as also do other missionaries from the city station near1 that this little 8,home0 has already done more for the people as an 8object lesson0 in home life than all previous effort in that direction4 ,in other articles in this department1 our friends will learn how they may share with us in this method of usefulness4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,letter ,,from ,,mrs4 ,,chase1 ,,atlanta4 ,mrs4 ,nelson has just called with her friend from the ,north1 ,mrs4 ,barker1 who looked over school and domestic work very carefully1 and then began plying me with questions1 when ,miss ,stevenson1 our missionary1 dropped in4 ,mrs4 ,barker's face lighted up as she exclaimed1 8,now ,i have you both together1 the teacher and the missionary1 ,i want to know where you think a little money will do the most good80 ,mrs4 ,nelson said3 8,each one loves her own work too well to be a competent judge40 ,miss ,stevenson1 you know1 is one of our veterans1 been in the field ever since the war4 ,for years her mind and body were tied in the class-room six hours in the day1 but her heart was in the cabins all the while2 and as soon as she got relief from double duty1 how she has put her whole soul into missionary work6 ,with her pleading eyes upon me1 how could ,i magnify my work above her's8 ,illustration3 ,a ,,mission ,,home4 ,since they left1 ,i've been thinking that ,mrs4 ,barker probably represents many women who wish their mites to go where they are most interested4 ,their hearts1 like that of every true mother1 yearn over these girls in their great peril1 and these boys1 driven from their wretched homes to the street for recreation4 ,if missionary work1 unlike the school1 were without organization1 systematic routine1 or superintendence1 it could not recommend itself to the cautious4 ,but under the well-defined plan adopted of associating the missionary labor with the school and church1 the best results are secured4 ,much as ,i love the model school1 ,i can but see that the model home is its only sure foundation4 ,so the work is all one4 ,i only hope that the grandeur of 8,work for ,women in the ,home0 may be so felt that the noblest women will be drawn into the service1 and develop such plans and mature such methods that the multitude of busy mothers and children1 all over our land1 can cast in their pennies and feel sure of a wise investment4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,questions ,,and ,,answers4 ,h41 ,n4,y4--,what are the qualifications required of those who wish to become lady missionaries8 ,could one succeed with only a common-school education8 ,sometimes a lady with only a common-school education does better than one more liberally educated4 ,it depends upon the qualities of the woman1 the executive ability1 the tact1 the practical good sense1 and knowledge of human nature4 ,of course1 all other things being equal1 the more thorough the education the better the work4 ,b41 ,n4,y4--,what is the cost of supporting a lady missionary1 and how many months during the year is it expedient for her to labor in the ,south8 ,it takes #dej to provide for a lady missionary for one year1 including traveling expenses1 board and a moderate salary4 ,the time of service varies somewhat in different localities4 ,at the extreme ,south she can wisely remain eight months of the year2 further north1 nine or ten4 ,for other particulars we refer to the ,march number of the ,missionary1 which is devoted largely to woman's work4 ,new ,york4--,what assistance can sewing circles and ladies' societies render during the summer months that would be most helpful and timely8 ,we shall need during the early autumn for replenishing our boarding departments and mission homes1 quilts1 sheets1 pillow-cases1 blankets1 towels1 table linen1 table ware1 and money for furnishing rooms in new buildings to be occupied by students4 ,help in either of these particulars will save so much for the support of the missionary work4 ,s41 ,ct4--,what provision is made during vacation for young girls who have been taken from wretched homes into your institutions8 ,are they obliged to return to the temptations and want of their early associations8 ,if not1 what is the cost for their care during this time8 ,there is nothing more important for the well-being of many colored girls than suitable watch and care during their summer vacations4 ,we have been unable to do much in this direction4 ,a few have been kept in the different boarding institutions1 where the buildings have been open4 ,these have been given work whenever opportunity offered4 ,thirty or thirty-five dollars would provide for a girl in addition to what she could earn4 ,we would be glad to correspond with any who are disposed to assist in this way4 ,r41 ,mass4--,our children have been accustomed to contribute to the ,dakota schools through the ,woman's ,board of ,foreign ,missions4 ,does the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 wish us to continue our interest in that particular work8 ,certainly it does4 ,we sincerely hope that all those who have been interested in the support of missions among the ,indians will continue their efforts and forward their gifts to us4 ,the ,april number of the ,,american ,,missionary is devoted largely to the work the ,association has accepted from the ,american ,board1 and is now carrying on4 ,we shall need the cordial co-operation and support of all the friends of the ,indians in order to conduct the enlarged work we have undertaken in their behalf4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,children',s ,,page4 99 99 99 99 99 ,illustration3 ,,about ,,giving ,,pennies--,,selected4 ,,five ,,kinds ,,of ,,pennies4 ,a boy who had a pocket full of coppers1 dropped one into the ,missionary-box1 laughing as he did so4 ,he had no thought in his heart about ,jesus or the heathen4 ,was his penny not as light as tin8 ,another boy put in a penny and looked around to see if anybody was praising him4 ,his was the brass penny2 not the gift of a lowly heart1 but of a proud spirit4 ,a third boy gave a penny1 saying to himself1 8,i suppose ,i must1 because all others do40 ,that was an iron penny4 ,it was the gift of a cold1 selfish heart4 ,as a fourth boy dropped his penny into the box he shed a tear1 and his heart said1 8,poor heathens6 ,i'm sorry they are so poor1 so ignorant and so miserable40 ,that was a silver penny1 the gift of a heart full of pity4 ,but there was one scholar who gave his1 saying1 8,for ,thy sake1 ,lord ,jesus6 ,oh1 that the heathen may hear of ,thee1 the ,saviour of mankind60 ,that was a golden penny1 because it was the gift of faith and love4 ,,the ,,penny ,,box4 ,they were giving away ,missionary boxes at a ,juvenile ,missionary meeting to the boys and girls who thought they could collect a little money for sending the ,gospel to the heathen4 ,among those who asked for a box was a poor child1 so poor that the chairman hesitated at first to give her a box2 on consideration1 however1 he let her have one4 ,about a fortnight afterward1 this little girl called upon him in great trouble4 ,he said to her1 8,why1 ,sarah1 what are you crying for8 ,cannot you get any money to put into your box80 8,no1 sir1 it is not that10 sobbed ,sarah1 8it is so full ,i don't know how ,i shall get any more in1 the last penny was so hard to get in ,i had to take a hammer to hammer it60 ,the gentleman said1 8,well1 ,sarah1 ,i think we can easily get over that difficulty--here is another box for you40 ,but this was not all2 when ,sarah first applied for a box1 she did so just because her feelings of compassion had been awakened for the poor heathen children2 but while she was busily engaged in collecting1 the thought came into her mind1 8,what am ,i collecting this money for8 ,that the poor heathen children may be taught about ,jesus1 but what do ,i know about ,him myself80 ,sarah then began to pray1 and begged ,god the ,holy ,spirit to teach her about ,jesus1 and that was the commencement of a new life to the dear child4 ,,what ,a ,,penny ,,can ,,do4 ,willie's penny made heaven rejoice4 ,it would not have bought more than a stick or two of candy or given much help to a starving family4 ,what did he do with it8 ,his sister was a missionary's wife in ,africa1 and the family were filling a box to send her4 ,as one after another brought their gifts ,willie said1 8,i want to give my penny40 8,what shall be bought with it80 was the next question4 ,it was decided to buy a tract and write its history on the margin1 and with a prayer for its success send it on its distant errand4 ,the box arrived on the mission ground1 and among its valuable contents ,willie's gift was laid away unnoticed and for a while forgotten4 ,but ,god's watchful1 all-seeing eye had not forgotten it4 ,one day a native teacher was starting from the mission station to go to a school over the mountain4 ,he knew the language well and was a great help to the missionaries1 but he was not a ,christian4 ,he had resisted everything the missionaries had done to make him one4 ,in looking over some papers1 ,willie's tract was discovered1 with writing on the margin1 which said that prayer was offered in ,america that it might do good4 ,it was handed to the native teacher4 ,he read it on his journey1 and what years of labor by the missionaries had not done was now brought about by the penny tract4 ,the man became a sincere ,christian4 ,those who put the tract in his hand were overcome with joy1 and there is joy in heaven over one sinner that repents4 ,so you see how ,willie's penny made
