last year4 ,this encouraging showing is to be credited to legacies which have been unusually large4 ,our payments for the year1 less balance in hand at the beginning of the year1 have been #cab1jah4ig1 leaving a balance in hand for the new year of #edh4cb4 ,for this result we rejoice and give thanks to ,god4 ,we have not been able to accomplish all that has been pressing upon us from our several mission fields1 but our faith is strong and we ask for still larger gifts and more extended efforts in the fields now white for the harvest4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,hour4 ,the hour is at hand for the annual review of the work and wants of this ,association4 ,the rapid progress of events amid which its influence is a constant factor1 necessitates vigilant study1 wise deliberation1 and prompt action4 ,there are divine favors to seek1 interests to hold1 opportunities to embrace1 and hindrances to overcome4 ,possibly nothing is more to be feared among the latter than apathy4 ,the belief that a work is well in hand1 successful1 hopeful1 helpful1 often gives a sense of rest that fosters unconcern1 or little concern1 for its entrenchment and enlargement4 ,this condition weakens the intensity of prayer and relaxes effort4 ,more than this1 apathy among the friends of a work like ours is liable to give way for misconception or lack of comprehension of its place in the religious destinies of mankind4 ,we have a mission for the promotion of righteousness4 ,our success is not to be measured by the rule1 or the balance1 but by what it accomplishes in the establishment of right principles4 ,it must be judged of by the tone it gives1 and not by the zone it occupies4 ,the business of this ,association is not for one clime1 but for all climes4 ,it aims to suppress ignorance1 oppression1 misrule1 poverty1 sin and shame1 and to plant and nourish those ennobling truths which yield peace1 plenty and life everlasting4 ,our very fundamental principles debar us from doing anything less broad and catholic than that directed alike against caste1 oppression and all injustice4 ,we must be left free to apply our benefits where the evils we seek to destroy have their strongholds4 ,we are bound to recognize moral conditions1 but not color4 ,color is not guilt or essential misfortune4 ,another hindrance to fear is the attention likely to be drawn to the political aspects of our work4 ,these have their place and rightful claims4 ,good government is helpful to good learning and the interests of religion1 but the object of a missionary society is primarily to promote pure ,christianity4 ,while it enters amid all shades of political opinions1 it must contend with the unrighteousness of all alike4 ,it must not be allured or guided by the possibilities of national events4 ,its kingdom is not of this world4 ,akin to political aspects are denominational interests4 ,these have their allurements also1 which1 if indulged excessively1 only tend to part the garment of ,christ4 ,forms and ceremonies well may serve the interest of missions1 but woe be the day when missions are wrested to serve the interest of a form or polity4 ,still another danger lies in the allurements of expedients4 ,the constant fluctuations in human affairs serve to unsettle the faith and to relax the hold on the steady1 enduring methods which alone can give success4 ,it is never to be forgotten that while the surface may have the appearance of a refluent stream when contending with the elements1 yet ,god's cause is imbedded in the deep under-current and moves right on despite appearances4 ,great essentials1 great faith1 wisdom from above1 and persistent action alone can overcome these hindrances1 and advance our work as it should be advanced4 ,what is demanded most by the hour is a revival of missionary zeal4 ,let there be a fuller sense of our responsibility to ,christ1 and a greater realization of our duty to those without4 ,let there be more constant exercise of the power of prayer4 ,let the spirit come upon us that counts all things secondary to the grand triumph of the ,redeemer's kingdom4 ,let us be willing to lose all1 to spend all1 and to suffer all to hasten that1 and ,god will not withhold ,his blessing1 neither shall ,his coming be delayed4 ,our readers will find in this number of the ,,missionary a copy of our present ,constitution1 and also one of that proposed by the ,committee appointed for that purpose at our last ,annual ,meeting4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,supt4 ,,salisbury has in press a pamphlet containing the new uniform course of study of the

utility to them in the partial reorganization of work proposed4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,warner ,,institute1 located at ,jonesboro1 ,east ,tennessee1 was formed by the ,friends1 under the lead of ,yardley ,warner1 for whom it was named4 ,the building1 of brick1 upon a fine crest in that hill country1 was formerly a ladies' college for white people4 ,friend ,warner having conducted the institute for several years1 proposed to transfer it to this ,association4 ,this has been done1 and the school is yet to carry along the good work begun by the founder4 ,his many friends in this country and in ,england1 who have aided him in the enterprise1 may rest assured that the institute will be kept true to its original mission4 ,mrs4 ,j4 ,b4 ,nelson1 who had formerly been employed by ,mr4 ,warner1 has been made principal1 with the needed assistants4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the programme for a series of twenty-eight missionary meetings1 which our agent for ,new ,hampshire and ,vermont had planned to be held in those ,states in ,august and ,september1 under the auspices of this ,association was carried out1 in due time1 with great completeness and success1 the last of the course being held ,sept4 #bh1 afternoon and evening1 in ,manchester1 ,n4,h4 ,the number of sessions1 counting those held in different places on the ,sabbath1 was fifty-one4 ,in almost every case the attendance1 especially at the second or evening session1 was large and enthusiastic4 ,the addresses were varied1 able and interesting4 ,the brief but touching story of ,philip ,page1 who often told in broken ,english1 in a pleasing way1 how and why he came to this country1 what he had found here1 what he is doing1 and how he hopes to go back some day and tell his parents and others in ,africa what ,christ the ,lord can do for them1 and the address of ,rev4 ,joseph ,e4 ,smith1 graduate of ,atlanta ,university1 now pastor of the ,first ,congregational ,church in ,chattanooga1 were always listened to with much interest4 ,the latter told of his bitter slave life1 of his trials and struggles and triumphs1 in coming over from bondage into freedom1 from the slave pen and the auction block to the school1 the college1 the pulpit and pastorate2 addresses were also made by ,prof4 ,thos4 ,n4 ,chase of ,atlanta1 ,dr4 ,woodworth1 of ,boston1 and by ,rev4 ,mr4 ,grout1 who conducted the meetings4 ,the ready and hospitable welcome with which the speakers and attendants from abroad were uniformly received by the churches visited1 the hearty and efficient co-operation of the several pastors and other church officers1 and the kindly notices of the meetings given the public1 from time to time1 by the press of the ,states and of the localities in which the conventions were held1 are reported as very cheering and indicative of a deep interest in our great work4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,we give in this number a cut of the church and parsonage at ,anniston1 ,ala41 ,rev4 ,h4 ,w4 ,conley1 pastor4 ,this is the

and went to their homes in town and country--the girls to help their mothers1 the boys their fathers4 ,some hired out for house and farm labor4 ,one farms on his own account4 ,one was head waiter in a summer hotel in ,tennessee4 ,two worked on a farm in ,minnesota and two1 sons of a professor1 on one in ,ohio4 ,some ran on sleeping cars in the ,north1 and made up the beds you lay on4 ,one worked in the railroad exposition in ,chicago4 ,one kept store and studied law in ,west ,tennessee4 ,one preached in ,florence1 ,ala41 with the usual blessing of ,god on his labors4 ,one was employed by the ,state of ,texas in holding institutes4 ,former students of ours were also employed in the same way4 ,but1 as usual1 the most of those advanced enough to do so taught school4 ,not to mention those of low grade1 out of seventy-eight enrolled in the collegiate department last year1 fifty-seven taught school4 ,the colored man seems by taste and circumstances to be a school teacher4 ,occasionally a student teaches who ought to rest4 ,it is the thing to do4 ,it is rather a shame not to4 ,the long-instructed desires to instruct4 ,the young fledgling wants to try its wings1 the ,demosthenes his oratory1 the ,hercules his club4 ,long before vacation begins we teach thinning classes1 and lament many an empty seat the first ,monday in ,september4 ,this is hard on scholarship1 but necessary for the purse1 and good for their own manhood and the people whom they teach4 ,schools must be taught when they are held1 and held when the children can be spared from the farms4 ,this varies with latitude and the products raised4 ,in the cotton region it is when the crop is 8laid by10 that is after the last hoeing and before the first picking1 and begins in ,april or ,may4 ,in the wheat and grass regions schools commence in ,june1 ,july or even ,august4 ,those whom we lose by early schools in the spring we get promptly in the fall1 and the reverse4 ,the most of the teachers who have returned report nothing remarkable1 no doubt the best kind of a report to have to make4 ,honest1 legitimate labor has never much to say for itself4 ,among the things mentioned in addition to the paid labor of the work are these3 securing libraries1 papers1 ,testaments for ,sunday-school1 teaching infant class1 teaching ,bible class1 leading singing1 superintending2 and one did all this1 organizing his entire school into one class4 ,he also rented an organ which he played4 ,one or more held prayer meetings4 ,all had religious exercises in school4 ,a few gave temperance lectures4 ,one had a temperance glee club4 ,several gave musical entertainments1 especially at close of school1 white and colored in attendance4 ,one county in this ,state is almost exclusively occupied by students from ,fisk4 ,they organized themselves into an institute1 meeting once a month for the discussion of methods and the interests of education in general4 ,by invitation ,prof4 ,bennett attended the last

befallen our students this year4 ,one is shortsighted and wears spectacles2 he is also quite light colored4 ,both these damaged him4 ,he was taken for a ,jew trying to pass himself off as a colored man4 ,white and colored alike looked upon him with suspicion4 ,he succeeded in persuading the colored people that he was one of them1 but the whites had no use for the 8white nigger in spectacles40 ,by continued insult and threats his nervous system was so worn upon that he fell sick and left after teaching a month4 ,two young men teaching in a river county in ,mississippi had1 briefly told1 the following experience3 ,the boat could not land at the place sought1 but they were put ashore at midnight1 three miles away4 ,there were two houses at the landing1 one being unoccupied4 ,in this they got permission to spend the night4 ,they lay on bags of cotton-seed4 ,there being no means of fastening doors1 one of them put his money1 two dollars and fifty cents1 in his shoe1 under his foot1 for safe-keeping4 ,the next day they walked through mud and rain to the town1 and from there set out in search of schools4 ,to secure a school is frequently a thing of no small difficulty4 ,the young men or women must make a journey of miles through blind ways on foot or with such conveyance as can be found4 ,the neighborhood being reached1 the leading colored people must be approached as the first

apiece4 ,those who attend are quite sure to pass4 ,it is wise for the ,fisk student to be at that institute1 pay his fee and pass1 for when that institute is over the time for getting a school in that county is up4 ,this state of things does not exist in all places1 let us hope not in many1 but it does in some4 ,it is quite a common rule never to give a first-class certificate1 no matter what the scholarship1 to a colored student1 as in most ,states it increases his pay1 and perhaps it would not seem fit for a colored boy or girl to get a better certificate than some white young man or woman4

,,prof4 ,,albert ,,salisbury4 ,it is hard to realize1 even when we make the conscious effort1 how much of the general culture1 intelligence1 and power of the ,american people is due to the habit of reading4 ,that there is not a more marked and easily discernible difference between the intelligence and practical efficiency of the college-bred man and of the man of less training is largely due to the fact that the one reads as widely and continually as the other4 ,even superficial and omnivorous reading is an efficient source of intelligence and power4 ,so universal is this habit of reading among the native-born people of the ,northern ,states1 that it is hard for them to conceive of its absence4 ,it costs us an effort to imagine the mental status of a person who cannot or does not read4 ,yet there are millions of people in the ,south who cannot read and millions more who do not4 ,it is one thing to teach a child how to read2 it is quite another thing to make him love to read1 to give him the habit of reading4 ,and the first has comparatively little value without the other4 ,it is of little moment that a million children have been taught the art of reading if they do not practice it freely4 ,now the fact is that of the hundreds of thousands who have been in the freedmen's schools but a very small part have ever formed the reading habit4 ,and1 as one consequence1 even college graduates of the colored race have far less general intelligence and intellectual efficiency than white people of much more limited education4 ,there is nothing singular or unaccountable about this4 ,it is the natural consequence of the circumstances existing4 ,the parents of these young people were slaves1 to whom reading was a forbidden art4 ,in their houses1 highly as the ability to read may be prized1 and earnestly as it may be sought for their children1 there are as yet no books1 no magazines1 no newspapers even4 ,if1 indeed1 there be any printed thing there1 it is almost without exception of the most trashy1 crude1 and worthless1 if not vile and corrupting1 sort1 from both the literary and the moral point of view4 ,the dime novel1 the 8,fireside ,companion10 the sloshy1 ungrammatical local newspaper are1 at the best1 all that one may hope to find4 ,in cultured homes1 children acquire the habit of reading by contagion4 ,it is fairly bred into them4 ,but in the homes of the freedmen there is no contagious example1 and there can be none4 ,there is for the colored youth no inheritance of culture in any way4 ,children in ,northern homes take in more of culture through the skin1 by unconscious absorption1 in the first ten years of life than the freedmen's children can ever acquire except by long years of schooling4 ,from the consideration of these facts1 two conclusions follow--first1 that for the intellectual uplifting of the colored race it is absolutely essential that the reading habit be established in some way2 and1 second1 that it should be the active endeavor of all the missionary schools to devise and employ the best agencies for stimulating and establishing this habit4 ,now comes the practical question1 ,what are the instrumentalities by which we can implant and cultivate the love of profitable and elevating reading8 ,of course1 something may be done in the regular course of instruction4 ,reading in school may be so taught as to give real culture of taste and appreciation4 ,the sips of good literature found in the reading-books may be so used as to create a desire to drink freely at the fountain-head2 though it is to be confessed that many teachers fail lamentably in this direction4 ,the student of history or geography may and should be pushed out of his text-book into the wide field from which text-books are gleaned4 ,yet all this has much of the flavor of the daily task about it4 ,can anything be done to make the act of reading more spontaneous1 to make it seem more like an indulgence and a recreation than an exaction and a duty8 ,the answer need not be a negative4 ,it is to be found in reading-rooms1 wisely placed and planned4 ,and much stress is to be laid on these qualifications4 ,the first requisite for a reading-room is accessibility4 ,it must be placed where it can be got at easily and continually4 ,a locked-up library1 open only once or twice a week at a stated hour1 with the issue of books held under formal regulations is utterly futile as a means of creating the reading habit2 it is useful only for those who have the habit already formed4 ,a reading-room must not only be conveniently placed where the pupils can not escape it1 as it were1 but it must also be open at all times2 so that in all the moments of leisure1 whether in the hours set apart for labor or those for recreation1 there may be the freest access1 that even 8he that runs0 may read a little4 ,it1 therefore1 becomes almost a necessity in a boarding-school that there be two reading-rooms1 one for each sex4 ,the second requirement for success is that the reading matter be well chosen1 selected with regard to the ends in view4 ,it is absurd to suppose that reading matter so stale1 dull or obstruse as to have no longer any value among a reading people should be worth sending to a people who have not yet learned to read4 ,musty libraries of defunct ministers are even more useless in a freedmen's school than at the ,north4 ,discarded ,sunday-school books are little better2 for in any library the readable books are worn to pieces before the rest are given away4 ,old files of religious or other newspapers have their uses2 but to make a reading-room tempting is not one of them4 ,the matter in a reading-room should be fresh1 interesting1 and adapted to the mental condition of those for whom it is provided2 otherwise it cannot be either profitable or inspiring4 ,the newspapers must contain current news4 ,the magazines must be adapted to the pupil's stage of development1 which is1 so far as reading is concerned1 usually the juvenile stage4 ,freedmen's children are not yet ready1 to any considerable extent1 for philosophy or high art4 ,the books--for there should be books as well as papers in our reading-rooms--should be fresh1 well printed1 and1 above all1 illustrated4 ,good pictures1 such as are found in the recent publications of the ,harpers and ,scribner1 illuminate the words of the book for these young people as nothing else can4 ,and a book closely printed1 on poor paper1 without illustration1 is a tax on any reader but the confirmed book-worm4 ,the books should relate1 largely1 to the world in its external aspects and to human achievement--books of travel and adventure1 of history in its romantic phases1 the great deeds of great men1 whether knights of war or labor4 ,to be specific1 such books as ,knox's ,boy ,traveler series1 ,coffin's ,histories1 ,butterworth's ,zizzag ,journeys1 ,swiss ,family ,robinson1 and even the productions of ,jules ,verne1 placed within the easy and constant reach of our pupils1 would be the most effective means imaginable for securing the valuable result desired4 ,were they well printed and illustrated1 ,i would add to the above list the old-time 8,rollo ,books40 ,indeed1 the list given is but a fragment of that which might now be made up4 ,among the periodicals1 ,wide ,awake1 ,st4 ,nicholas1 and ,harper's ,young ,people should have a prominent place alongside the ,century and ,harper's ,weekly and ,monthly4 ,i have not time to dwell upon the moral results1 even more important than the intellectual ones1 sure to come from the employment of the means herein imperfectly indicated2 but ,i am sure that reading-rooms such as ,i have in mind can be made a most valuable auxiliary of our work in its best and highest purposes4 ,if any persons chancing to read this1 desire fuller information with a view to co-operation in a good work1 ,i shall be happy to receive communications from them at any time4 99 99 99 99 99 ,a ,,generous ,,word ,,from ,,the ,,south4 ,,from ,,the ,,memphis ,,appeal4 ,the ,memphis ,appeal1 in an editorial column upon the ,education of the ,negro1 taking as a text the recent ,episcopal ,congress of colored men in this city and the ,louisville ,convention1 says to certain representative men3 8,we recommend them to get the annual reports of the ,american ,missionary ,society1 of the ,southern and ,northern ,methodist ,churches1 and of the ,african ,methodist and ,baptist ,churches4 ,from these they will find that more than #bj1jjj1jjj have been expended by these religious organizations since #ahfd in building and maintaining handsome school-houses in which the ,negro has been trained and educated and fitted for the noble task and important duty of training and educating others4 ,they will find1 too1 from these reports that in all these years white men and women of learning and culture have labored1 often in the face of prejudice and within earshot of contumely and hate4 ,what these missionaries have done1 the world at large has made little note of1 but the days are not far distant when everywhere1 through the ,south at least1 it will be acknowledged as the greatest of all the great works accomplished in the ,united ,states since #ahfe4 ,from the ,potomac almost to the ,rio ,grande the academies and colleges of the ,american ,missionary ,society are to be found at nearly all the large centers of population1 and they are flourishing because their work is a practical work and their purpose the plain one of widening and deepening the stream of learning at which the once slaves of the ,south may drink freely and at will4 ,these institutions are the results of a generous benevolence1 and have been maintained by a self-denying zeal worthy of the glorious ,luther1 whose birth a grateful world is everywhere celebrating with gladness4 ,we recommend them to read the reports of the ,rev4 ,atticus ,g4 ,haygood1 of ,oxford1 ,ga41 who1 since he wrote the ,brother in ,black1 has launched into the work of furthering the education of the ,negro with the zeal of a missionary1 and the spirit of a soldier in a noble cause4 ,dr4 ,haygood1 not long ago1 made a tour of the ,south in the interest of the fund for which he is the dispensing agent1 and the result is a more fervent devotion to the good work and more fervid and appealing speeches in its behalf4 ,a gallant ex-,confederate1 a ,southerner by birth and breeding1 and the son of a slaveholder1 brought up1 too1 in a wealthy planting section of ,georgia1 he entered upon his1 at first1 self-appointed task as a mere private1 a volunteer in the ranks where he found so many noble workers4 ,but his knowledge of the ,negro1 of his capacity1 and his needs1 and the best methods of reaching practical educational results soon marked him for the high position he now occupies as the trusted and confidential agent of a fund bequeathed by a benevolent ,northern man1 whose desire for the advancement and betterment of the ,negro ,dr4 ,haygood is furthering by helping all the schools at the ,south that have these for their objects4 ,already1 in the first year of the existence of the fund1 this good1 strong man finds encouraging results following upon what he has expended of it1 and he pleads on every possible occasion with voice and pen for the extension of the practical system of education so long pursued by the ,american ,missionary ,association1 and in which he sees the best possibilities of the dark race4 ,dr4 ,haygood speaks plainly1 as well as eloquently4 ,he calls a spade a spade4 ,he does not spare any who set themselves in his way or in the way of the work he has so much at heart4 ,he knows that education makes every man better1 stronger and happier than he could be without it and he contends for its dissemination by compulsion if other means fail of making it general1 of bringing it into every man's house as essential to the maintenance of the peace that passes all understanding4 ,it is in the nature of things that such a man should encounter opposition2 that he should even be reviled1 abused and misrepresented1 but he has only to take counsel of those who have occupied the field he is now in during the past twenty years to find a sweet solace and a consolation for it all4 ,he can read in their lives the opening chapters of his own career in the field of ,negro education1 but he can also read of a generous if tardy recognition of their labors by the best educated men and women of the ,south1 who willingly acknowledge their indebtedness to them for the patient1 earnest1 laborious work by which in so short a time nearly forty per cent4 of the ,negro population has been taught to read and write1 and so many thousands have been trained and fitted after the most approved technical methods to teach in ,negro public schools and thus perpetuate the blessings they rejoice in the possession of40 99 99 99

be addressed by name in the salutatory chapter of his ,epistle to the ,romans before he had himself ever been to that city4 ,canon ,farrar argues that that chapter must belong to some other ,epistle1 on account of the difficulty of the ,apostle's knowing so many people at ,rome4 ,if the ,canon of ,westminster had only been a ,superintendent of ,missions he would have had no such trouble4 ,dr4 ,roy

force so that we may receive all that apply4 ,i have thought for several years that the necessity of the continuance of ,storrs ,school would cease as the public schools for colored people increased

heights which border the ,missouri ,river1 was most charming4 ,at our left1 and beneath us1 was the river and its narrow strip of foliage and bottom lands1 having here and there a picturesque dotting of ,indian tents2 beyond that1 westward turned the grass-covered hills2 to our right were the boundless prairies1 beautifully variegated with cultivated squares of green and golden grain and settlers' homes4 ,illustration3 ,,mission ,,home1 ,,fort ,,sully4 ,an abrupt descent from such an outlook brought us to the valley beneath1 through which the remaining eight miles of our ride lay4 ,we had only fairly entered the valley when we began to see evidences of the faithful mission work which has here been done4 ,for several miles along the river we were constantly passing the farms of mission ,indians1 where we saw established homes1 quite as good as those of their white neighbors4 ,we saw full-blooded ,indians in civilized dress1 riding their mowing-machines1 raking their hay1 and stacking their grain4 ,rev4 ,thomas ,riggs was away from home at the bedside of his venerable father in ,beloit1 but we were most kindly received by the lady missionaries in charge1 ,misses ,collins

large lean-to attachment for kitchen and laundry4 ,the yard is beautiful with flowers and plants1 and hallowed by a little inner enclosure which holds the sacred dust of ,mrs4 ,riggs4 7,shown in the

the grounds1 visited the chapel1 were received by the ,indians in their homes1 and in the large room just described were several times entertained by their singing while their teachers led on the piano4 ,no honest enemy of ,indian missions could see and hear what we saw and heard1 without a change of heart4 ,time and again we were melted to tears4 ,our visit was entirely unexpected1 so nothing could be 8gotten up0 for our benefit4 ,we were the better pleased that it should be so4 ,everything was impromptu and natural4 ,the climax came unexpectedly just as we were about to go the next morning4 ,while two of the brethren were hitching the horses a party of ,indian women and two little boys1 who with their baskets were about to pass the door1 were called in by ,miss ,collins4 ,they hesitated1 and through their teacher apologized for their appearance1 explaining that they had just started on a berrying trip4 ,one of the men1 who had come on some errand1 was also invited in4 ,then ,miss ,irvine led on the piano and they all sang from open hymn books1 one after another of the sweet gospel hymns which we could recognize only by the tunes4 ,as they sang 8,jesus loves me1 this ,i know1 ,for the ,bible tells me so10 and 8,oh1 happy day that fixed my choice ,on ,thee1 my ,saviour and my ,god2 ,well may this glowing heart rejoice ,and tell its raptures all abroad10 we could not refrain from tears4 ,our brethren1 who had been attending the horses1 heard the music and came in4 ,one glance unsealed the fountain1 and they too wept for joy4 ,then we all knelt in prayer4 ,there were prayers in ,english and prayers in ,dakota language1 freely intermingled1 and a pervading sense that the good ,father understood it all4 ,when we arose to our feet the ,indians sang the ,gloria1 and ,spotted ,bear1 by invitation1 closed the meeting with a prayer which touched every heart1 although we could not understand a word of it4 ,the language of the heart is everywhere the same4 ,and so with hearty hand-shakings and moist eyes this long-to-be-remembered meeting broke up4 ,we came away feeling that for many a day we had not enjoyed such a refreshing1 and saying one to another1

the reservation was to be broken up1 or at least so meanly encroached upon1 that ,trapper ,dan's little mite of an estate was included in the reservation to be reserved no longer4 ,what wonder1 we repeat1 that the barbarous instincts of the man awoke in vengeful fury toward the unscrupulous destroyers of his peace and his home8 ,for1 after all1 the holy instincts clustering about the idea of a home are easily understood and fostered even by the savage when once he can grasp its blessed meaning4 ,in hateful guise and with deadly weapons1 the hunted trapper stole1 forth under cover of the darkness1 his poor heart thirsting for revenge4 ,he realized vaguely that the ,great ,spirit would be displeased at his anger1 but he stifled all that as he vaulted along toward the building where a great meeting was to be held4 ,a slight young man just entering on a missionary career had resolved that on this1 his first night of addressing the ,indians1 he would tell them in the very plainest language possible the simple story of ,jesus and ,his cross4 ,doubtless they had heard it many times before1 but no matter1 it should be told to-night mainly in words of one syllable1 so that even the most untaught could understand its import4 ,cowering close by one of the openings answering for windows was the unseen figure of ,trapper ,dan1 his dark face and darker designs alike in hiding until the time for action should come4 ,once the people were engrossed in the speaker1 he would shoot into the building and bring down more than one pale face on the platform1 then he would hide again1 only to pillage and burn later on in the night4 ,he did not wish to listen or hear anything that might be said by a despicable pale face1 but when the young missionary1 with heart on fire for very love of his theme1 told of the innocent little baby1 born in the far-off ,east1 ,dan became unconsciously interested in that baby4 ,then1 in words1 every one of which his hearers understood1 the speaker told of the eager1 intelligent boy1 who lingered in the temple to ask questions of the wise old doctors4 ,then the child became a man and did wondrous things1 and for the needy1 the poor1 the blind1 the sick1 the sinning6 ,in most touching accents he went on and told of the cruel return this dear child1 this bright boy1 this loving1 helpful man received at the hands of those he had only helped and blessed4 ,he came at last to the piteous scenes at the cross1 and when he cried out3 8,and it was all for you1 poor ,indian1 for you and me--for us all10 ,trapper ,dan was surprised to find the tears raining over his painted cheeks1 and the anger and hatred was all gone from his poor heart4 ,he lingered to hear the young preacher tell of the forgiveness of the ,saviour towards his cruel enemies1 then he turned away2 and it was not a savage any longer1 but a softened1 forgiving man1 who went back to the crude little home on the borders of the great solemn forest4 ,he wanted now so much to forgive those who were wronging him1 that early the next morning the land agent was surprised to see ,trapper ,dan walk into his office1 and holding out a friendly hand1 say bluntly3 8,i forgive all for the dear ,jesus' sake--he die for poor ,indian4 ,i give up home1 give up land--um sorry1 but ,i no harm pale face40 ,later the same day the missionary found ,trapper ,dan1 and was amazed at the man's gentle1 forgiving spirit4 ,a ferocious look had stolen for a moment into his face when telling of his labor and his wrongs1 but it died out at the name of ,jesus4 ,it transpired that the little home was not disturbed after all1 and the missionary not long after remarked feelingly to the agent3 8,only give him a fair chance1 only treat him like a man and a brother1 treat him fairly and squarely1 teach him ,christ so he will know him for a ,saviour1 and ,i will answer for the ,indian4 ,he may appear the savage until taught better things1 but he has the heart of a human being after
