99 ,,vacation ,,days4 ,by the time this issue of the ,missionary reaches our readers1 a large number of those in the service of this ,association will be enjoying a season of needed rest4 ,as the climate ,south is enervating to those who have been raised at the ,north1 it is essential that our missionaries working in that portion of the country return every year or two to their former homes and associations for recuperation and courage for future work4 ,many of them need also contact with ,northern society to refresh their hearts and minds1 and to gain a stimulus not imparted by the circle of acquaintances found on the ,southern field4 ,these visits ,north afford opportunities for our workers to make known the wants of the people with whom they labor1 and to show the deep interest they take in their welfare1 and the sacrifices they are willing to make in their behalf4 ,the return of a missionary to the church from which he or she went forth1 often gives a spiritual uplift to the whole congregation4 ,we are happy to recognize the willingness manifested by pastors1 by ,sabbath-schools and by local missionary societies1 to afford these returned missionaries the privilege of explaining the needs of their work and of enlisting a deeper sympathy for it4 ,we wish1 however1 to make it known that these missionaries greatly appreciate kindly attention4 ,many of them have felt the want of it on the ,southern field1 and sometimes on their return after protracted absence receive it with glad surprise4 ,we are sure that if those with whom they meet will be forward to express their pleasure in seeing them and their interest in their sacrifices and success1 they will find that the little effort put forth to give cheer will go a long ways in strengthening the heart1 and adding to the ability of the missionary to do more valiantly the work of ,christian patriotism in which he is engaged4 ,invitations to literary and social circles1 as well as to more strictly religious meetings1 will almost always be grateful to the tired worker1 and we are very sure that the information1 the unconscious influence1 imparted by the missionary1 as well as the satisfaction in having done a good and kindly service1 will amply repay for any effort ,christian friends may make to render the missionary's vacation agreeable and profitable4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,congregationalism ,,south4 ,,ry ,,rev4 ,j4 ,e4 ,,roy1 ,d4,d4 ,when the ,american ,missionary ,association went 8down toward the ,south10 ,congregationalism was hated by the ruling class1 as coming from the hot-bed of ,new ,englandism1 and was absolutely unknown among the people to whom the ,northern evangelism then had access1 and even on their part1 as a system1 it had yet to encounter the densest opposition which ignorance1 superstition and sectarianism could combine4 ,and when1 like ,john the ,baptist1 it laid the ax at the root of the tree1 demanding morality as well as pietism1 it confronted the momentum of generations of pagan vice confirmed by the indurations of the system of slavery4 ,in order to get any foothold on this basis1 it has to begin with the spelling-book1 as the key to the incarcerated ,bible4 ,but the hunger for letters1 for ideas1 forced a way into the word of ,god4 ,schools followed the army across the ,southland4 ,revivals1 like the ,northern clover1 sprang up in the same track4 ,every teacher1 by his or her vow1 entered into with the ,a4 ,m4 ,a41 became a missionary4 ,talk about women's work for women4 ,here1 for a score of years1 have been from #aej to #bjj gifted consecrated women1 of whom the world was not worthy1 sacrificing youth and beauty1 going for a time into places where men could not stand1 with their names cast out as vile1 yet lifting up their lowly sisters and starting scores and scores of young men on into a religious life and into the ministry of the ,lord ,jesus4 ,as converts multiplied1 many of them took to the old churches1 and not a few desired to have the way which their dear teachers represented4 ,and so1 gradually there came on these churches1 each one a miniature republic1 and each1 in almost every case1 an outcome of the school process4 ,in that early time1 not a few of the best tried friends of the ,association grew uneasy at the slow progress of the church work1 only in late years to admire the wisdom of the administration in not picking the pear before it was ripe4 ,the ,m4 ,e4 church going ,south had only to open its doors to receive #bjj1jjj of the old-time ,methodists1 with their clinging immoralities and their corrupting ministers4 ,grandly has that patriotic church wrestled with its problem4 ,but ours has been a call to a different task4 ,in five years after the close of the war1 besides the three ,john ,g4 ,fee churches in ,kentucky1 which had flung themselves upon the serried ranks of the slaveholders1 compelling a vast region to behold what sort of stuff this ,puritanism was made of1 the ,association numbered eleven churches among the sable brethren1 whose teachers and preachers usually joined with them in fellowship4 ,in ten years these had come to number forty4 ,and now1 eighteen years after the war1 the total is eighty-nine1 an average of five for each year4 ,nor are these merely nominal or skeleton churches4 ,their average membership is sixty-five1 while that of all our churches west of the ,mississippi is thirty-five4 ,nearly every one has its own place of worship and its own pastor4 ,their own ministers have had to be grown1 converted and trained up from the alphabet1 while multitudes have been prepared in our schools for service in the old-time churches1 the small number that we have taken 7a half hundred1 besides several foreign missionaries7 serving only as the toll for grinding the grists4 ,a high wisdom was that which was displayed by the early workers in seizing upon the strategic points1 so that one can now hardly go to a principal city of the ,south without finding there a fully-working ,congregational church1 such as those at ,washington1 ,hampton1 ,charleston1 ,raleigh1 ,savannah1 ,macon1 ,atlanta1 ,mobile1 ,montgomery1 ,birmingham1 ,meridian1 ,jackson1 ,new ,orleans1 ,austin1 ,little ,rock1 ,memphis1 ,nashville1 ,chattanooga1 ,knoxville1 and ,louisville4 ,so it seems that this work has gone on in every ,state of the ,south1 for in ,florida1 which might seem an exception1 the noted church at ,jacksonville was organized by one of the actuaries of the ,a4 ,m4 ,a41 and nourished by another4 ,nor have these churches been left to the weakness of an isolated independence4 ,for the better training of them1 and for the consolidating of their strength1 they have been organized into regular ,state associations1 which have sought to introduce the methods of the ,north1 which in their varied services often come to an intellectual and spiritual glow that astonishes us1 and which come to a consciousness of their national fellowship when they each elect their delegates to the annual meeting of the ,a4 ,m4 ,a41 and to the ,national ,council1 one of their own members having served at the last triennial as an assistant moderator4 ,these ,state bodies now number eight1 which nearly cover the whole ,south4 ,so1 then1 the physical geography of the land is quite well mapped out1 ,congregationally4 ,there remains much space for filling4 ,no view of the ,congregationalism taken into the ,south by the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 will be complete without considering the pervasive influence of all of these churches and institutions of learning1 that have come to be a power universally recognized4 ,almost every member going forth from them is1 in some sense1 a representative of the ,congregational idea1 though he does not himself take the name4 ,in all the ,south1 among the whites as well as the blacks1 these principles have been made known1 so that the way1 in great part1 is prepared for carrying on there a spiritual propagandism that shall yet recognize the essential feature of this past dispensation1 which1 at the ,north1 has been up-borne by sympathy and prayer1 the consecration of substance and the offering of sons and daughters1 and which1 at the ,south1 has bravely stood1 this score of years1 for this sublime act and testimony1 in sacrifice enduring hardness1 ostracism and scorn1 viz41 the features of the brotherhood of man in ,christ ,jesus1 the real unity of all ,christian believers1 irrespective of race1 color1 or social condition4 ,,the

99 99 ,,berea ,,college4 ,prof4 ,w4 ,e4 ,c4 ,wright4 ,the seventeenth year of ,berea ,college closed on ,june #cjth with most satisfactory marks of the sustained usefulness and increasing importance of the school4 ,the ,commencement festival really began with the joint exhibition of the ,ladies' ,literary and ,phi ,delta ,societies on ,friday evening1 before a large audience1 in the chapel4 ,the pupils of the lower schools gave their interesting exhibitions in the same place on ,saturday evening4 ,president ,fairchild's baccalaureate discourse on ,sunday morning was a vigorous and comprehensive rehearsal of the religious and moral ideas of consecration to ,god and love toward all men1 which this college has ever sought to impress on its students2 his text1 ,phil4 iv41 #i1 8,those things1 which ye have both learned and received and heard and seen in me1 do40 ,no ,christian man could have heard it without feeling how supremely important for the educational regeneration of the ,south is such a spirit of religious earnestness4 ,on ,tuesday evening the ,literary ,societies were addressed on the subject of 8,progress10 by ,col4 ,swope1 who is the ,internal ,revenue ,collector for this district1 and a native of ,kentucky4 ,on ,wednesday came the final exercises1 which gathered a great multitude from mountain and from plain4 ,the season has been very rainy1 but this was the most perfect of ,june days--its unclouded sun tempered by a cool breeze from the south4 ,soon after sunrise vehicles of every description1 and saddle-horses carrying one1 two or three passengers1 began to pour in toward the ,tabernacle1 most visitors bringing luncheon for a noon-time picnic in the oak grove4 ,besides the three graduates--one from the classical1 and two from the scientific course--fourteen other students from the higher classes presented orations or essays4 ,all were listened to by the great audience with interest1 and some with enthusiasm4 ,in the afternoon nearly as many gathered again to hear a most suggestive and interesting address from ,rev4 ,r4 ,t4 ,hall1 of ,mount ,vernon1 ,ohio1 on 8,the ,abuse of ,liberty40 ,short addresses followed from ,rev4 ,mr4 ,simmons of the 7colored ,baptist7 ,bible ,institute of ,louisville1 and ,rev4 ,mr4 ,barnett1 a ,methodist minister from ,college ,hill4 ,it suggests the interest of our neighbors in the work of ,berea that the ,kentucky ,register1 published at the county seat and a representative paper of the ,kentucky aristocracy1 gave nearly a column the next day to a strongly commendatory notice of the exercises4 ,a gentleman of a well-known old ,kentucky family passing this way toward the mountains turned aside to see what the ,commencement was like1 and spent the day in such unexpected approval of what he saw and heard that he declared at night that he might be set down hereafter as for ,berea every time4 ,this is the more noticeable as the appearance of blacks and whites in about equal numbers and with entirely equal respect on the same platform must at first have given a great shock to his ,southern prejudices4 ,a ,northern visitor1 remarking on the perfect pronunciation of the speakers1 said1 8,a blind man could not tell to which race the several speakers belong40 ,the 8color blindness0 which still keeps the students of ,berea about equally divided between the two races is one of the most important elements in its work for reducing the illiteracy of ,kentucky 7#bh per cent4 of the voters and almost as much of it white as black71 and settling the problems the nation has inherited from slavery4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,atlanta ,,university4 ,,prof4 ,,thos4 ,n4 ,,chase4 ,our annual examinations are made interesting and exciting by the presence of visitors appointed by the ,governor1 who this year1 as usual1 attended the three days of examination and one day of literary exercises4 ,the grades were examined in ,south ,hall and the normal preparatory and college classes in the new ,stone ,hall4 ,some of the visitors evidently thought the interior of ,stone ,hall most too fine for poor students1 and so we often felt moved to call attention to the simplicity of its construction1 and the fact that good ,boston desks do not cost much more than the very cheapest kind4 ,on each day quite a large number of spectators was present4 ,while numerous complimentary remarks were made we do not think that some features of the school were fully appreciated4 ,latin1 ,greek1 higher mathematics and metaphysics still possess a charm for scholars1 both ,south and ,north1 while modern methods in the lower grades attract the attention and win the admiration of only an appreciative few4 ,the specimens of map drawing and of original designs in industrial drawing were considered good by competent judges4 ,for several years a large part of the public have had object lessons from nature and in form of a daily exercise1 with especial reference to teaching them to make simple and exact statements in clear and correct language2 and in their examinations they were said to show marked ability in making nice distinctions and using good ,english4 ,the experiment of the senior normal girls in cottage housekeeping under the direction of one of the teachers meets with universal favor4 ,everybody in these ,united ,states thinks every girl ought to know how to keep house well1 and the best way to learn how to do a thing is to do it4 ,the outcome of the work in this department is highly satisfactory1 and we wish we had a larger cottage for next year4 ,the silk culture has been worth the while for the sake of the entertainment and instruction it has afforded1 even if no pecuniary benefit came from it4 ,the worms 8wound up0 their business1 at about the same time the rest of us did ours1 and everybody said 8,well done40 ,the competitive gardens formed another feature in our work4 ,these were a rod square and thirty-six in number4 ,beets1 beans1 peas1 potatoes and onions were the crops4 ,the potatoes were dug on the last day of examination1 and it was found that our native ,african had gained the first prize1 having #hb pounds on his square rod4 ,how about slavery's developing the ,african race8 ,as the visitors inspected the new barn1 the twelve full kits of carpenters' tools donated by a friend in ,new ,york ,city1 though still unused1 were not concealed from view4 ,funds for a shop have now been pledged1 and a teacher of carpentering is to be employed1 even if some other department is suspended1 and the boys are to be taught the use of tools1 in obedience to the prevailing sentiment of what ought to be1 and in the hope that such instruction will help the colored man to hold his present position in the mechanical field4 ,illustration3 ,,atlanta ,,university ,,buildings4 ,on ,commencement day 8everything passed off well10 and a clergyman from ,boston was heard to say1 8,good thoughts well expressed40 ,sixteen young men and women received diplomas or certificates1 and listened to parting words from the president4 ,governor ,mc,daniel honored us with his presence1 and sent a verbal message to the graduates1 saying that he had been much pleased with their exercises and felt a warm interest in them4 ,at the alumni meeting an excellent paper was read by an alumnus upon the subject of industrial education1 and several speeches were made1 showing intellectual growth and telling of good work done4 ,within ten days from ,commencement1 as many as three-fourths of our students will be scattered all over the ,state1 and in many places in neighboring ,states1 metamorphosed into dignified and wise pedagogues4 ,may they all meet with great success in their day-school1 ,sunday-school and temperance work1 and in their efforts to stimulate the people to acquire property and make for themselves pleasant and pure homes4 ,we were glad to have with us ,prest4 ,de ,forest and ,prof4 ,ellis1 of ,talladega

,trustees1 ,sec'y ,strieby was re-elected1 and one of ,atlanta's most prominent men in business1 social and religious circles1 who had recently declined the office of ,mayor1 consented to become a

continued success in old lines of work1 and encouragement in new1 added buildings1 generous gifts1 growing favor among the people1 good reports from graduates and the constant presence of the ,divine

,,testimony ,,of ,,an ,,indian ,,agent4 ,major ,gassman1 who was formerly engaged in the ministry at ,omaha1 ,nebraska1 but who now is serving as ,indian agent in ,dakota1 recently paid a visit to ,hampton1 where he gave to the students an interesting account of his experience in ,indian work1 which was published in the ,southern ,workman1 and from which we make the following extracts4--,,ed4 ,i went to my post with fear and trembling4 ,i had had no experience1 no business experience1 or any but in the ministry2 but ,i was sure of one thing1 that good1 honest1 persistent effort would bring good results4 ,i had heard about many of the iniquities and shortcomings of agents4 ,my friends warned me against the position4 ,i knew that the name of ,indian agent had become almost a synonym of rascal or cheat4 ,i felt1 however1 that it was a position a man could fill with honesty and integrity and good results4 ,so ,i went to work4 ,i was horrified at the state of things ,i found4 ,for many years an agency had been established2 thousands of dollars had been expended2 a great many men had been employed4 ,but ,i saw that the ,indians were discouraged1 doing nothing1 sulky and averse to effort4 ,i arrived at the agency early in ,april1 and found that the fields had been left for a year untilled and in a filthy condition4 ,i had had early experience as a farmer4 ,i called the ,indians together1 and told them they must clean their fields4 ,they said they had no teams or ploughs4 ,i asked if they couldn't at least clean them up8 ,they said yes4 ,i told them to begin and ,i'd see what ,i could do for them1 but there was no time to lose4 ,they said they would start to-morrow4 ,the next morning ,i was waked by loud talking4 ,i looked out and saw at least fifty women with hoes1 axes and shovels on their shoulders--not a man among them4 ,i took an interpreter and went out to them4 ,they said they had come to clean the fields4 ,i said that was good1 but ,i hadn't sent for them1 but for the men4 ,they laughed at that idea--it was a novelty4 ,i told them the men must come1 gave them some good advice on household work for women--on which ,i am well posted--and sent them home4 ,they went their way1 and that was the end of the work4 ,i couldn't get an ,indian man out that time4 ,i was puzzled what to do next4 ,i went out to the fields with the interpreter1 and we did find one old man who had gone to work4 ,i told him to go on1 and ,i'd plow what he would clean up1 which ,i did4 ,this encouraged one and another by degrees1 with the gift of extra rations1 and so at last we got the fields cleaned and planted4 ,the first year1 though1 was very trying1 owing to my ignorance of the ,indian character4 ,i spoke to them as ,i would to any one else about truth and duty1 etc41 but met constant1 persistent opposition4 ,i was wearied to death with their councils4 ,fifty to a hundred great stalwart ,indians would walk into my office1 sit down on the floor1 and begin to smoke4 ,then ,i would wait with patience till one of them would rise and make their wants known1 and ,i would answer them4 ,but everything ,i proposed they would oppose1 for some reason ,i did not understand4 ,they would tell me my words were sweet1 but that like all other white men1 ,i was a liar4 ,so it went on for a year4 ,it was rather hard to take their plain talk1 especially as ,i am somewhat of a muscular ,christian4 ,i gave them1 however1 as good1 plain talk as they sent1 and let them understand what ,i thought of them4 ,but at the end of a year ,i thought ,i might as well give it up4 ,i wrote to my friends that ,i thought of resigning4 ,then ,i called the ,indians to a last council4 ,i told them what ,i felt1 why ,i came1 what ,i had endeavored to do4 ,i spoke feelingly4 ,when ,i had finished1 an old chief1 8,struck by the ,ree10 got up and said3 8,we have listened to your words for a year4 ,we have now come to the conclusion that we will both listen and obey4 ,we had been told that you were not a good man4 ,many of us believed what we heard1 but you have convinced us that you are good1 and we will obey you40 ,well ,i stayed1 and ,i had no more trouble1 except such as was unavoidable4 ,the councils were more and more pleasant4 ,i never had a rude or disagreeable word from them again4 ,they would sometimes disagree with me1 but generally took my advice1 and were always courteous4 ,i laid before them first this plan4 ,i told them that rations and aid from government are only temporary4 ,they will come to an end4 ,they are given to aid them to be self-supporting4 ,i told them ,i had come to help them to become so4 ,they were not much interested in that idea at first1 but as continued dropping wears away the rock1 my words from day to day had some effect1 and here and there ,i saw some improvement4 ,i found all the work at the agency done by whites--only two ,indians employed out of #b1jjj ,sioux at the station4 ,i employed the ,indians as fast as possible to give them work4 ,i put one boy in the blacksmith shop1 another with the carpenter1 another in the mill1 two or three with the agency farmer1 two in the butcher house1 and to help issue rations4 ,when ,i came there ,i found the cattle were slaughtered in a brutal manner1 shot in a filthy yard1 where the ,indians dressed the meat in a careless1 unclean way4 ,i applied for a slaughter-house1 cattle-pens and a proper butcher1 and got them4 ,i put my ,indian boys with him1 as ,i said1 and at the end of a month they could take hold and do the work properly themselves1 and did it so six years4 ,the beef was issued clean4 ,the system of employing ,indians and encouraging industry was pleasing4 ,they were glad to see their young men employed2 they were willing to go to work when there was any encouragement to do so4 ,i had several thousand bushels of wheat to harvest4 ,i succeeded in getting the ground broken1 the crop cultivated1 the wheat ground and eaten up1 too4 ,while they were threshing one hot day1 some of the ,indians gave out4 ,they sent me word from the field that two more men were needed4 ,i went out on my horse and looked about1 but couldn't see an ,indian anywhere but in the field4 ,i rode to the trader's store1 and there ,i found a young ,indian gentleman1 gotten up in fine style1 with red blanket1 embroidered leggings and moccasins1 looking glass and fan2 face painted1 hair braided and ornamented with feathers--8a fancy buck10 so they say out on the frontier4 ,i went up to him1 laid my hand on his shoulder1 and said1 8,friend1 ,i want you40 ,he looked up with an independent air1 and said1 8,how60 ,i told him to get on his horse and follow me1 which he did4 ,i took him into the field and up to the threshing machine1 and told the interpreter to tell him ,i wanted him to work and would pay him so much4 ,the ,indian boys around laughed4 ,i told them to be quiet4 ,he said 8,how10 and went at it4 ,the only vacant place at the machine was where the chaff and dust comes pouring out--not an agreeable place for him--pouring out on his paint and oil4 ,he never had a pitchfork in his hands before1 but he went to work manfully4 ,pretty soon off came his red blanket2 then off came the paint itself in streaks4 ,piece by piece came off the rest of his toggery1 till the ,indian was an ,indian but not much besides4 ,but he stuck to that pitchfork4 ,i watched him2 if he had given out ,i would have taken his place2 but there was no give out to him2 he worked right on for three days2 at the end of the time his delicate hands were all bleeding4 ,that shows the pluck of the ,indian4 ,i have had other employs1 who had never done a thing before in the way of labor1 work till the blood ran down their hands4 ,this one was1 of course1 a remarkable case4 ,but ,i have had ,indians who labored for me industriously for eight years without ever losing one day4 ,it was difficult to get them to save their wages4 ,i finally adopted a system of banking for them4 ,they let me lay aside their wages till the end of the quarter4 ,then we talked over the question what they had better buy1 and under my advice they generally spent their money in useful articles1 wagons1 harness1 stoves1 furniture1 etc4 ,i received satisfactory evidence that the ,indian can be made a laboring man1 but in order to do it we must pay him good wages to start with4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,chinese4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,mission ,,work ,,in ,,may4 ,,rev4 ,w4 ,c4 ,,pond1 ,,superintendent4 ,the dry figures are as follows3 ,eighteen schools1 forty-one teachers1

that the school cannot but be smaller in summer than in winter1 and that they will try to sustain it without a ,chinese helper1 but they cannot bear to have it closed4 ,how could ,i be deaf to such an appeal8 ,i wrote them to do their utmost to help me by their offerings and their prayers1 and the school should be continued4 ,i confess that ,i do not know how ,i am to maintain so large a work as

my brother1 ,i would kill you instantly4'0 ,to all this ,hong ,sing replied3 8,question is now1 friends1 which way we ought to honor father and mother1 in life time or in death time1 with a kind word or with wrath answer your mother4 ,mind your mother is honor or disobey is honor4 ,suppose when you come to ,california your father and mother give you good advice--must not gamble1 not smoke opium1 not go among the bad men1 not be indolent but industrious4 ,you just see how many has been gambling1 how many smoke opium and do such evil things4 ,is this obey parent1 honor1 admire8 ,i think not at all4 ,this is disobey1 dishonor1 ingratitude4 ,when ,i was in ,china ,i often see and hear of many men has beat mother with a stick and not like to support her living1 but permit her starve and not let her have good food4 ,but when she die then you put ten pound pork and chicken and many things set on the table1 ask her to eat4 ,in life time when she can eat and drink1 never buy five cents worth meat4 ,when die1 no eat1 no drink4 ,so you will kill a calf1 set on a table to ask her to eat and drink4 ,it is vanity4 ,our ,confucius has said1 #8,if any man were good conduct and endeavor to walk on the wisdom way and good virtue that show to obey and honor father and mother4 ,therefore1 every man know he is a good man and understand that he must have had good parents1 and he never said to honor our parents by worshipping them when they die4'0 ,other points were made which cannot be reproduced4 ,under ordinary circumstances ,i discourage all debating with the heathen4 ,i advise our

,,of ,,state ,,societies4 ,the ,woman's ,home ,missionary ,society1 connected with the ,state ,association of ,michigan1 held its session during the meetings of that body4 ,the ladies present were addressed by ,mrs4 ,norton1 of ,dakota1 and ,miss ,rose ,m4 ,kinney1 of ,georgia4 ,brief remarks were made by ,messrs ,clark1 ,cobb1 ,gilbert and ,pike4 ,mrs4 ,leroy ,warren was re-elected president1 and measures were adopted providing for co-operation with the benevolent societies of the ,congregational churches working in this country4 ,it is probable that efforts will be made by the ladies to bring the claims of these societies before the people of ,michigan in the early autumn4 99 99 99 99 99 ,the ladies of ,iowa will continue to support their missionary1 ,miss ,a4 ,d4 ,gerrish1 at ,new ,orleans1 ,la41 and as they too have organized for better co-operation1 it is confidently hoped that the response from the ladies will enable them to assume the support of a second missionary1 at some other point4 ,they have selected as a ,state ,committee ,mrs4 ,s4 ,h4 ,smith1 of ,davenport1 and ,mrs4 ,j4 ,h4 ,ellsworth1 of ,mc,gregor4 99 99 99 99 99 ,at the recent ,state ,conference of ,vermont1 a special meeting of the ladies was called to hear the claims of the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 missions presented by ,miss ,d4 ,e4 ,emerson1 and a good degree of interest was manifested1 resulting in the appointment of a committee of three1 ,mrs4 ,a4 ,w4 ,wilde1 of ,charlotte1 ,mrs4 ,henry ,fairbanks1 of ,st4 ,johnsbury1 and ,mrs4 ,bowman1 of ,newport1 to secure co-operation among the ladies of the ,congregational churches of ,vermont in support of a missionary in the ,south4 ,at the meeting of the ,woman's ,aid to the ,a4 ,m4 ,a41 in connection with the ,maine ,state ,conference1 there was a large and appreciative audience to listen to the reports of their two missionaries1 ,misses ,lunt and ,farrington4 ,it was evident that the frequent correspondence with these missionaries1 and the knowledge thus gained of the field1 had quickened the sympathies of those contributing to their support1 and there is every reason to believe that the collections will increase so that a third missionary will in good time be adopted1 either in the ,south or in the ,indian ,mission4 ,miss ,d4 ,e4 ,emerson addressed the ladies on the general work of the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 in the ,south4 ,in order to vary the means of raising funds and to awaken more interest in the churches1 a system of rotation of committees is followed1 and a new ,state ,committee was therefore appointed3 ,mrs4 ,hubbard1 of ,hiram2 ,miss ,l4 ,c4 ,vose1 of ,dennysville1 and ,miss ,s4 ,waldron1 of ,augusta4 ,it was gratifying to learn that the ,committee of the past year1 of which ,miss ,smith was chairman1 laid aside with regret the duties which1 though involving considerable care1 had proved more a pleasure than a burden4 99 99 99 99 99 ,the ladies of ,illinois have adopted the same plan of aid to the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 as the ladies of ,maine1 and have appointed as a ,state ,committee ,mrs4 ,e4 ,f4 ,williams1 of ,chicago2 ,mrs4 ,h4 ,l4 ,boltwood1 of ,ottawa1 and ,mrs4 ,charles ,perry1 of ,geneva4 ,already the conferences have been districted to the ,state ,committee1 and the sub-collectors appointed4 ,they will continue the support of a missionary at ,mobile1 ,ala41 and have adopted also ,miss ,rose ,m4 ,kinney to represent them at ,little ,rock1 ,ark4 99 99 99 99 99 ,one of the ladies appointed at the ,illinois ,meeting has written an encouraging letter which indicates the heartiness with which the work is entered upon in that ,state4 ,she says3 8,last month we heard the sound of the new departure from ,maine4 ,when we are sure it is the ,master calling1 the sound flies quickly1 and we are thankful it has so soon reached ,illinois4 ,we already1 from the new consecration it arouses in us1 are buckling on the armor4 ,i assure you that from the ladies of this ,state will come no uncertain sound4 ,we must do the work40 99 99 99 99 99 ,that our friends may know the spirit that pervades our missionary teachers1 enabling them to rise above the discouragements and trials of the field in the joy of ,christian service1 we give a few gleanings from recent correspondence not written for publication4--,d4 ,e4 ,e4 --,i never enjoyed my work so much as during the past year1 although it was never so hard before4 --,the year's work has been such a pleasant one that ,i am reluctant to bring it to a close1 although ,i feel the need of the coming rest4 --,i hope my return another year may be favorably considered by you1 as ,i must see my boys through4 ,i have but just begun the work4 ,i like it and feel that another year ,i could accomplish much more than ,i have this4 --,my health has failed and it is thought to be a risk for me to remain through the year4 ,it is a great disappointment to me1 ,i believe the greatest ,i ever had1 for ,i love the work and so strongly hoped ,i should be able to continue4 ,but ,god knows best4 ,perhaps in years to come ,he may grant me such measure of strength as will enable me again to enter this field4 --,our scholars have done good1 faithful work for some time past and the results will show1 ,i am sure4 ,i do enjoy the work thoroughly4 ,of course there are times of discouragement1 days when we wonder if some one else could not do more or better for those who are under our instruction1 when it seems as if it were spending our strength for naught2 but ,i suppose every person knows what it is to feel so1 and ,i certainly am glad to do what ,i can while ,i can4 --,we are very busy now1 this last half of the year4 ,my room is very full--sixty-eight4 ,they sit thickly together1 close up to my platform1 and three with me by my desk4 ,i enjoy my school very much1 even more than ,i anticipated1 especially now that ,i really know my scholars individually4 ,i have many who are eighteen or twenty years old and ,i feel anxious for them to learn all they can1 for fear they may not come another year4 ,i really trust ,i may be led in just the right way in this work1 for ,i came here with that one desire4 --,on reaching here ,i found ,miss ---- busy in her preparation to leave in answer to your call4 ,the young people look as sad as though parting with a mother1 and several1 both old and young1 said to me3 8,do tell them in ,new ,york they must send her back--she understands us so well and we her1 and it would take a long time for a stranger1 to know us40 ,one old man said1 8,i tell you she is smart40 ,oh1 how ,i do wish she could go before the ladies of our ,northern churches and tell of this work4 ,i know that they are very ignorant in regard to the needs of these fields4 ,i know1 too1 there is a willingness to do if they could only be shown the needs and be once awakened4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,work ,,at ,,the ,,dakota ,,mission4 ,in the ,,american ,,missionary for ,april we gave a statement relating to the transfer by the ,american ,board of its ,dakota mission to the ,a4 ,m4 ,a41 and published a list of the missionaries4 ,among these were ,miss ,illsley1 ,mrs4 ,steer1 ,miss ,voorhees and ,miss ,webb1 who were laboring at the ,santee ,agency4 ,we have gleaned from their circular letters in the ,word ,carrier the following extracts which indicate the importance and success of woman's work for the ,indians4 ,miss ,illsley says3 8,as each one who writes will naturally tell of her own work1 it becomes my pleasure to speak especially of our life at the ,bird's ,nest4 ,miss ,brown and ,i think we have seventeen as interesting little girls to look after as can be4 ,our oldest is twelve1 and our youngest five years of age4 ,all are doing well in school4 ,our little girls love to learn their ,bible verses1 and while we teach them the words1 we hope and feel that ,god impresses the truths on their hearts as we cannot4 ,many of them say1 #8,i am going to read the ,bible to mamma when ,i go home4'0 ,mrs4 ,steer writes3 8,i deem it one of the highest privileges granted to me in this life to be numbered among the ,dakota missionaries1 although with the care of my family ,i can do but little definite missionary work4 ,yet ,i would be loath to stand as an outsider4 ,god granting me the strength of body1 ,i hope soon to take a more active part in this grand work4 ,we have strong evidence that ,god's ,spirit is with us at this time1 and a number of our young people have been led to think seriously of their spiritual condition1 and have entered the fold which has ,christ for its ,shepherd40 ,miss ,voorhees writes3 8,i have had nineteen boys in my care1 until the ,poncas left4 ,seven are now in bed with the measles4 ,some of them are very sick1 but all are so patient and obedient that it makes the work of caring for them comparatively easy4 ,the three ,berthold boys are very interesting1 and ,i think promising boys4 ,miss ,calhoun1 ,mrs4 ,hall's sister1 is associated with me at present4 ,though our boys are too small to see any decided results just yet1 one of them has expressed a desire to unite with the church40 ,miss ,webb says3 8,the amount there is to be done and overcome too often discourages and overwhelms us1 and it seems to me in a letter like this1 a few thoughts on points of progress and improvement may be helpful4 ,there seems to me to have been progress in spiritual1 mental and physical aspects4 ,there is a hidden principle in our girls to which we can effectually appeal1 which has been developing1 and makes dealing with them by force and various contrived punishments less and less necessary4 ,they are more open to reason1 and are more influenced by kind talks1 and a knowledge of our desires for them4 ,there is not the clannishness among them1 which made it so hard to discipline one1 because all would rebel and side with the erring one4 ,these are a few of the indications which show the heart is being educated1 and the seed is taking root4 ,there is also more gratitude manifest1 more diligence in study1 and more real live interest shown4 ,we hear less frequently1 and more reasonably1 #8give me this or that1' which seemed to come so continually1 and in such a way as to make us feel all they thought or cared about was what they could get out of us1 and there is less fault-finding with what they receive4 ,looking at them in a physical aspect it would almost seem as if some of them had new bodies1 so much have they improved by their regular life and habits40 99 99 99 99 99 ,,children',s ,,page4 99 99 99 99 99 ,illustration ,a ,,little ,,merchant4 ,,by ,,miss ,e4 ,e4 ,,backup4 ,it could hardly be called a village2 there were a few houses1 a few stores1 and a mammoth hotel4 ,during 8the season0 all the life of the place seemed to centre about the hotel4 ,the building covered considerable space1 and two sides were inclosed with glass1 which gave it quite an ,oriental air4 ,the hotel was known for miles around1 and when the house was full a pleasurable excitement pervaded the little hamlet4 ,it extended to the little pickaninnies who rolled and tumbled in the log cabins which dotted the landscape in every direction as far as the eye could reach4 ,what a scramble there was to see the gentlemen and ladies as they walked or drove by1 and a party on horseback was a sight sufficiently imposing to warrant extra efforts4 ,to these little folks1 who never pored dreamily over enchanting fairy tales1 ,denis ,hotel was a veritable fairy palace inhabited by choice fairies from the dim and shadowy ,northland1 whose pockets contained a never failing supply of gold4 ,this latter was almost an article of faith among the youthful colored population of ,k41 and developed a very large eye for business4 ,the roads swarmed with colored urchins desirous of selling various wares4 ,one class of infants had an inexhaustible supply of gourds which they offered at remarkably low rates to the 8,yankee0 ladies4 ,another class of juveniles was of a geological turn1 and enough arrow-heads and other ,indian 8remains0 were offered for sale to stock several national museums4 ,then1 when all else failed1 there were the sweet wild flowers which seemed softly to plead for the dark little fingers which had lovingly brought them forth into the light4 ,general ,grant was one of the most indefatigable and successful of the little merchants1 as was befitting the namesake of a great ,general4 ,intelligence beamed from the ,general's dark face1 and there was no resisting the mute appeal of his large1 lustrous eyes4 8,what1 more flowers60 we exclaimed1 one day1 8and jessamine1 too6 five cents8 ,oh1 yes1 we'll take them4 ,really1 ,general1 you must be growing rich40 8,i does right smart1 thank you10 with a smile and a bow1 the graceful native politeness more than atoning for the defective speech4 8,we rejoice in your success1 ,general10 chimed in ,mr4 ,brown4 8,two or three little rascals have tried to make us believe that their pennies all went straight into the contribution box4 ,it's likely we should believe such nonsense6 ,now we would just like to know what you do with your money4 ,buy candy1 ,i'll be bound40 ,the large eyes grew a trifle larger as their little owner unflinchingly encountered ,mr4 ,brown's steadfast gaze4 8,we chillens are mighty fond of candy10 he said1 8and it's seldom we get a bit4 ,i did buy some candy once for the young uns1 but the rest has done gone for homespun40 8,what do you do with homespun80 8,why1 mammy makes dresses for the girls4 ,sally looked mighty peart last night when she put on her new dress1 and didn't she dance 'round though10 and the kind eyes grew moist at the recollection4 8,then you don't put money in the contribution box80 ,mr4 ,brown continued4 8,we put a cent in #8most every ,sunday4 ,but we get our ,sunday-school money #8knocking up ,jerusalem4'0 8,the dickens60 exclaimed ,mr4 ,brown1 quite forgetting himself1 8and how do you #8knock up ,jerusalem'80 8#8,knocking up ,jerusalem' is a song1 sir10 our little hero respectfully replied2 8and we shall be right proud to sing it to you sometime if you'll come to the cabin4 ,and you ain't to give us anything1 neither40 8,we'll come10 said ,mr4 ,brown4 8,we want to see ,sally's new gown1 and ,i wouldn't fail to hear #8,knocking up ,jerusalem4'0 ,we went1 according to promise1 and were most hospitably received at the little cabin4 ,we admired ,sally's blue and white homespun1 and when that subject was exhausted we listened to 8,knocking up ,jerusalem40 ,the five children stood in a row with ,gen4 ,grant at their head1 and kept time with their feet as they sang4 ,it was evidently one of the old-time spiritual songs1 a queer mixture1 and we listened with mingled feelings of interest and regret--interest in the dark1 earnest little faces1 and the sweet1 pathetic strains1 regret at the words and gestures1 alike meaningless4 ,the song ended1 we talked of ,jesus1 and these little ones1 ignorant and untaught1 yet knew of ,him as the children's ,friend4 ,gen4 ,grant was actively engaged as long as we remained in ,k41 but it was slow work after all1 and we became so interested in his unselfish efforts1 that we determined to aid him4 ,enough homespun for several dresses was privately left at the cabin1 together with a few simple papers and books1 of which the cabin was utterly destitute4 ,the day we left1 ,gen4 ,grant was at the station to present us with a beautiful bouquet1 and we almost cried ourselves as he bade us a tearful good-bye4 ,our chief regret for ,k4 is that we can do so little to improve the condition of the colored people there4 ,poor and ignorant1 they need what they have never had1 an educated teacher4 ,we wish the ,a4 ,m4

briefness of man's life4 ,,xi4--,the excellence of wisdom4 ,,xii4--,the glory of the heavenly life4 ,this edition of the ,psalter has been awaited with much interest1 and the knowledge that ,dr4 ,storrs was engaged upon it has given general satisfaction4 ,the previous work has had a successful life1 having been instrumental1 as the pioneer ,psalter1 in awakening widespread interest in responsive reading4 ,there were necessarily some changes to be made in that edition which long use and experience have suggested4 ,more changes are made in this edition1 and we now have such a ,psalter as will fully meet the requirements of all non-,episcopal churches4 ,it is needless to say that ,dr4 ,storrs is more eminently fitted to the work of preparing the ,psalter than most men1 and the work will undoubtedly be accepted as the general standard4 ,the work is furnished for introduction at low rates4 ,churches using the old edition may exchange for the new on favorable terms4 ,a

find that no book can be said to be complete without them4 ,many of ,holbrook's latest tunes are1 however1 the best he has made1 and he has recently issued a new book embodying them all1 together with a fine collection of the best ,english and ,american tunes4 ,the ,worship in ,song contains #gjj choice hymns and #ejj tunes4 ,in the selection of hymns ,dr4 ,holbrook has had the colaboration of several eminent hymnologists1 and on account of them alone the book will be found to be the most acceptable yet published4 ,the book has been adopted by ,presbyterian and ,congregational churches east and west1 and adds greatly to the interest in the worship wherever used4 ,a prominent clergyman in ,connecticut says3 8,i am much interested in ,mr4 ,holbrook's book4 ,we use it daily and enjoy it4 ,i
