the last page of the cover will be found directions as to membership and other items of interest4 ,fuller details regarding the reception of delegates and their entertainment1 together with rates at hotels1 and railroad and steamboat reductions1 will be given in the religious press and in the next number of the ,,missionary4 ,a meeting of great interest is expected1 and we trust our friends will make their preparations in due time to be present4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,our ,,receipts for the ten months ending ,july #cast are #bce1hhd4gc1 an increase of #f1cgg4dj as compared with the corresponding months of last year4 ,the increase from collections is #ab1fbh4ib1 and the decrease from legacies is #f1bea4eb1 leaving the net increase as stated4 ,this increase from collections is gratifying2 but our expenditures during the last ten months have been #bg1jgi4hi greater than for the same months last year4 ,this increase has been due not only to the imperative demands for the enlargement of the work1 but to the added facilities afforded by the contributions of friends who have realized these needs and have provided the necessary buildings and improvements4 ,the patrons of the ,association have been wont to rally in the month of ,september to save us from debt4 ,our average receipts from collections for that month for the past three years have been #ch1jjj1 which is nearly double the average of our monthly collections for the past year4 ,we hope our friends have not lost their zeal in our work1 and that their hearts are as warm and their hands as liberal as ever4 ,we ask their attention to the two items that follow3 ,a ,practical1 ,thoughtful ,man4 ,a gentleman once said to a ,secretary of this ,association3 8,i contribute regularly to all our ,congregational societies1 and in addition to that ,i lay aside #ajj for the society that stands in the greatest need4 ,i notice that one or the other of these societies comes to the close of its fiscal year threatened with debt1 and this year ,i think the ,american ,missionary ,association must have the #ajj40 ,thanks were duly expressed4 ,a ,creed4 ,we believe that there are many such practical1 thoughtful men in our churches who lay by money1 some more1 some less1 for this good purpose4 ,we believe there are many more ,christian people1 who1 while they do not plan so definitely1 yet keep watch of the benevolent societies1 and come to the rescue in time of need4 ,we believe that some give out of their abundance1 and others1 feeling themselves somewhat straitened yet realizing the difficulties of a benevolent society in like circumstances1 decide1 in the spirit of ,christian self-sacrifice1 to aid with their mite the embarrassed society4 ,we believe there are pastors1 devoted and efficient in their parish work1 who yet are broad-minded and large-hearted enough to keep a watchful eye on the interests of the great missionary societies1 and1 at the appropriate time1 to urge upon their churches liberal contributions for the hour of need4 ,we believe that1 at this time1 the ,american ,missionary ,association is the society needing special help at the close of its financial year1 and we earnestly exhort practical1 thoughtful ,christians and churches to make special remembrance of our wants by prompt and liberal contributions during the month of ,september4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,we begin this month the publication of a series of letters received from students or graduates of our various institutions in the ,south4 ,they will be found very readable4 ,those of our friends who begin the one we publish in this number will read it through1 we are very sure1 and will be glad to read the others as they come in successive numbers4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,how ,,brief the passage from life to death4 ,this number of ,,the ,,missionary contains a very interesting sketch of the ,commencement exercises at ,talladega ,college1 written by ,mrs4 ,l4 ,a4 ,orr2 and yet1 on another page1 will be found the record of her death4 ,happy are they who are toiling in the ,master's vineyard when the summons comes4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,we had the pleasure of an intimate acquaintance with ,rev4 ,g4 ,d4 ,pike1 ,d4,d41 for nearly twenty years4 ,we knew that his studies ran beyond the range of official work1 but we never suspected that he indulged in writing verses4 ,since his death1 several hymns have been found1 written by him1 and1 on another page1 we present one of these4 ,it was written during his absence for his health and when he regarded the end of life as not far off1 and indicates his faith and hope4 ,the many friends of ,dr4 ,pike will be glad to read this4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,mr4 ,,moody4 ,mr4 ,moody as a lay evangelist has made a marvellous1 a unique1 record in modern ,christian labors4 ,no layman1 and few clergymen1 have surpassed him in this peculiar work4 ,but ,mr4 ,moody's efforts in another line are attracting the attention and admiration of ,christians in all parts of the world4 ,we venture the prediction that one hundred years hence ,mr4 ,moody will be better known by the schools he has founded than by the evangelistic work he has done4 ,there is something about a permanent institution1 like the opening of a living spring on the hillside1 that is refreshing and perennial4 ,john ,harvard and ,elihu ,yale opened such fountains4 ,other men of to-day are doing the same thing in the ,south1 either by the consecration of permanent funds or the founding of permanent institutions4 ,may their number be multiplied4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,africa4 ,alas for poor ,africa6 ,the day of her redemption lingereth4 ,the rebellion of the ,mahdi hindered the progress of civilization in the vast regions of the ,upper ,nile4 ,it occurred precisely at the time that ,rev4 ,dr4 ,ladd was making his explorations near the mouth of the ,sobat1 with a view to the establishment of the ,arthington ,mission4 ,the hope that was entertained that this sudden and disastrous outbreak would soon be quelled has been disappointed4 ,the ,mahdi is dead1 but he has a successor1 ,khalifa ,abdullah1 who1 if he does not inherit the ,mahdi's remarkable powers1 yet can suffice to keep the ,soudan in turmoil4 ,emin ,bey has not been rescued and ,stanley's whereabouts and safety are uncertain4 ,is it not time that the duty of the ,american of ,african descent to the land of his fathers should be pressed upon him1 and that the ,christian church should help to prepare him for that duty8 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,sioux ,,bill4 ,the friends of the ,indians have sought earnestly and successfully to secure proper legislation looking to the civilization of the ,indians4 ,the ,dawes ,bill and the ,sioux ,bill have been hailed with joy as important steps in this direction4 ,but ,senator ,dawes himself and other intelligent friends of the ,indians have foreseen the possible difficulties in the way4 ,the refusal of the ,indians to sign the treaty at the recent council at ,standing ,rock1 and the indication at this writing that the same refusal will meet the ,commissioners at the ,cheyenne1 ,rosebud and ,pine ,ridge ,agencies1 present the picket lines of these difficulties4 ,but beyond all these lie the stronger hindrances4 ,the great trouble is that the ,indian is still an ,indian1 in his ignorance1 his want of training for civilized life1 his dislike of work1 and his incompetency to make profitable use of the lands and teams and implements proffered to him4 ,of what use to any man1 white or ,indian1 is #afj acres of land if he doesn't want it1 if he doesn't know how to use it1 and can't make a living on it8 ,after all that has been said and done1 the thing that the ,indian needs is a ,christian education4 ,if he has that1 he will know how to work and will be inclined to work1 and will become a good and self-supporting citizen4 ,christian friends of the ,indian6 rally to the great work of ,christianing these ,indians4 ,the primer and the ,new ,testament are their great want4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,mountain ,,work ,,and ,,the ,,colored ,,people4 ,there are three things which give special emphasis to the importance of pushing forward the 8,mountain ,work40 #a4 ,the great material1 intellectual and spiritual destitution of the more than two million people of our ,southern mountains--a people of good natural endowments1 who respond readily to the life-giving impulses of a pure gospel--is the thing which appeals most directly to our sympathy4 #b4 ,many well-informed business men are confidently declaring that this is the richest mineral region of the world4 ,already they are either building or planning railroads through every part of the mountains1 which are made profitable not only by the wonderful mines which open at their approach1 but also by the great forests of black walnut1 poplar1 and other valuable timber4 ,this1 of course1 means that the present primitive condition of things cannot long remain4 ,it must give way to something else4 ,whether it shall be to godlessness and wickedness of every form1 or whether the natural religiousness of the people shall be met with pure and uplifting gospel influences--with the ,church and the ,christian school--depends in a large measure on what our churches and individual ,christians say through the treasury of this ,association4 ,what will take years of work and thousands of dollars in the future can now be done in months and with hundreds4 #c4 ,but this work has a connection with our other ,southern work which has been little noted4 ,these mountains extend down into the very heart of the ,south1 in a territory #bjj miles broad and #ejj miles long4 ,in the late war1 the people were loyal to the ,union almost to a man1 and thousands of them fought for its preservation4 ,slaves were few among them1 and colored people are now scarcely more numerous than they are in the ,north1 though the proportion is increasing4 ,the result is a natural affiliation with what are known as 8,northern ,ideas40 ,the feeling against a ,christian treatment of the colored people is neither so bitter nor so deep-rooted as elsewhere in the ,south4 ,it has been demonstrated that no-caste churches and schools can be established and maintained1 and the general sentiment of the whole region can1 by vigorous missionary work1 be moulded to the ,christian view4 ,the people of this region--vivified and developed1 intellectually and spiritually1 on the broad basis of ,congregational ,christianity2 believing in1 and practicing1 the doctrine that all men were created free and equal and should have equal rights in all public matters2 and1 in their new and fast-increasing commercial importance1 in constant contact with other portions of the ,south--would furnish an unanswerable argument against the fears of the ,southern white people with reference to the amalgamation of the races1 and other direful results1 which would follow a just treatment of the colored man4 8,and seeing the man which was healed standing with them1 they could say nothing against it40 99 99 99 99 99 ,,emancipation ,,in ,,brazil--,,what ,,is ,,to ,,follow8 ,it is a curious fact that1 in precisely the last fifty years1 slavery has been abolished by the four great nations holding the greatest number of slaves and representing the three great forms of the ,christian religion--the ,protestant1 the ,greek and the ,roman ,catholic4 ,thus ,england1 a ,protestant power1 emancipated her slaves in the ,west ,indies in #ahch2 ,russia1 of the ,greek ,church1 freed her serfs in #ahfa2 the ,united ,states1 a ,protestant nation1 emancipated her slaves in #ahfc2 and now1 ,brazil1 a ,roman ,catholic empire1 completes the circle by emancipating her slaves in #ahhh4 ,while these facts are remarkable1 and present cause for profound gratitude to ,god1 there is yet a lesson of vital importance to be learned which ,brazil needs to understand1 and which1 indeed1 the other nations are not fully practicing4 ,in the ,british ,west ,indies1 very few white people remained after emancipation1 and the blacks lacked their guidance and example2 and besides this1 it was years afterwards before the ,british ,government made any adequate provision for the education of the ex-slaves4 ,from these two causes have come nearly all the evils that have grown out of the emancipation4 ,russia presents a still more striking lesson4 ,in #ahfa1 as the result of a great national movement towards constitutional liberty1 her fifty millions of serfs were emancipated4 ,the next year1 she celebrated the thousandth anniversary of her national existence1 and the enthusiasm for a free government was intensified4 ,but all these hopes were dashed--no new constitution was given1 the ,czar ruled autocratically as before1 the serfs were not educated or enfranchised1 and largely sunk into ignorance and intemperance4 ,the result of all has been nihilism1 and the ,czar lives in hourly fear of death1 and rules his people by terror1 the prison and ,siberia4 ,the ,united ,states has done far better4 ,it enfranchised the slave and made him a citizen2 the ,national ,government1 through the ,freedmen's ,bureau1 expended several millions of dollars for his education2 the ,states organized public school systems1 and the benevolent people of the ,north rendered still more effective service1 being the first to introduce the work1 acting always1 when permitted1 in co-operation with the ,bureau and with the ,states1 and continuing its work1 blending the educational largely with the religious4 ,but in spite of all this1 a dark cloud gathers on our horizon--the blacks are not allowed the free enjoyment of their guaranteed rights1 and the facilities for educational and religious enlightenment are entirely inadequate4 ,three millions of the blacks of ten years of age and upward1 in #ahhj1 could not write4 ,america needs not only to ponder these facts1 but to act upon them promptly1 if it would avert the impending danger4 ,in these facts ,brazil should read her warning4 ,if her ex-slaves are left in ignorance and vice1 she has her work only begun1 and the last end may be worse than the beginning4 ,the laws of ,brazil have favored gradual emancipation4 ,it was the work of a woman that completed it4 ,in the absence of the ,emperor1 who was sick in ,italy1 his daughter1 as ,regent1 issued the final decree4 ,may we not hope that the womanly wisdom and philanthropy which dictated the initial act may prompt to the persevering use of the means of the last great duty8 ,and may we not hope that1 as thousands of the educated women of the ,north devoted themselves to the uplifting of the blacks in the ,southern ,states1 so their sisters in ,brazil may give the crowning glory to emancipation in ,brazil8 99 99 99 99 99 ,,inter-,,blending ,,of ,,missionary ,,work4 ,the great ,london ,missionary ,conference1 recently held1 awakened much enthusiasm on the spot in behalf of foreign missions1 and we believe that the published records and addresses will intensify and perpetuate that salutary influence4 ,the ,christian world needs arousing to the great work of the church in heathen lands4 ,there is1 however1 an inter-blending in all parts of missionary work that should never be overlooked4 ,the home field is the source of the means1 and men1 and prayers1 that must energize the work in the foreign field4 ,dead churches at home cannot give life to mission work abroad4 ,there is another form in which the home and foreign fields are blended4 ,the ,american ,missionary ,association is ranked1 and properly1 as a home missionary organization1 but it has its relations to the foreign field4 #a4 ,it is called to train the ,freedmen of ,america for mission work in ,africa4 ,white men meet a speedy death in malarial ,africa1 and they come to the natives as strangers4 ,the ,freedmen can better endure the climate of their fatherland and will be welcomed by the people as brothers4 ,we believe that the great problem of ,african evangelization is destined1 in the providence of ,god1 to be largely solved by the ex-slaves of ,america4 #b4 ,the ,indians of the ,united ,states have been ranked heretofore as coming under the work of foreign missions4 ,at one time the ,american ,board had the largest share of its work among these people4 ,other ,christian denominations so classed their ,indian missions1 in part1 at least--and all this properly1 for the mass of the ,indians are still heathen4 ,the day will come when the ,indian will be lost in the man1 and then gospel work for him will be home or parish work4 ,but at present the ,american ,missionary ,association is doing foreign mission work in the home field1 among these ,indians4 #c4 ,the ,chinaman in ,america1 like the ,negro in ,america1 is cultured and ,christianized here very largely for the sake of ,china4 ,he comes here not to stay1 but to go back to the home of his fathers4 ,now1 if we don't stone him1 or mob him1 but imbue him with the gospel1 he goes back home as a missionary4 ,a specimen of the spirit in which he returns can be seen in the touching letter from a ,chinese convert in another column of this magazine4 ,the ,hong ,kong ,mission1 established under the auspices of the ,american ,board1 and to which our converted ,chinamen on the ,pacific ,slope contributed both men and money1 is an illustration of the way in which the ,american ,missionary ,association touches the foreign field in ,china4 #d4 ,last1 but not least4 ,the battle against caste must be fought1 and the victory won1 in ,america4 ,as the last battle against slavery was fought and won here for the world1 so we must fight the battle of caste here for ,india as well as for ,america4 ,fifty years ago very wise and good brethren said3 8,you ,abolitionists are right theoretically1 slavery is wrong and ought to be abolished immediately2 but practically you are a set of visionaries4 ,slavery is a local institution1 and if you wish to push your denominational interests in the ,south1 you must establish your churches there and let the question of slavery alone40 ,we have lived long enough to hear these brethren confess their mistake4 ,there are wise and good brethren now that say3 8,theoretically1 caste is all wrong1 but it exists and can't be overthrown1 and if you wish to press your denominational work in the ,south1 you must ignore that question and plant your churches on the color line40 ,somebody will live to hear those who take this position confessing their mistake4 ,the ,american ,missionary ,association stands now on the caste question just where it once stood in regard to slavery4 ,it will neither dodge nor compromise1 and will plant schools and churches in the ,south1 if at all1 openly and avowedly disregarding class distinctions4 ,it makes no effort to bring the races together1 yet any man1 woman or child1 otherwise qualified1 will be welcomed to its schools and churches1 even if ,god has made him black4 ,in waging this warfare in ,america1 it is doing a ,christian missionary work against caste in heathen nations of the old world4 ,,school ,,echoes4 ,question4--8,when and how long did ,solomon reign80 ,answer4--8#aj1jjj years before ,christ4 ,he rained forty days and forty nights40 ,question4--8,susy1 can you tell me what ,i read to you about yesterday80 ,answer4--8,christ and the twelve opossums40 ,in ,mississippi1 one of our teachers taught her class faithfully the golden text1 8,put off thy shoes from off thy feet2 for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground40 ,the next ,sunday1 only one girl could remember it1 and she recited it thus3 8,moses1 ,moses1 take off them shoes40 ,the colored preachers of the old time1 in selecting their illustrations from ,bible characters1 are wont to give them a strongly imaginative turn2 as for instance when one1 in a long story of ,abraham's trial in offering up ,isaac1 represented him as 8going along1 holding on and not making any fuss during the journey by day1 but at night when ,isaac was not by1 as praying and crying all night40 ,,english ,,as ,,she ,,is ,,written ,,by ,,indian ,,students4 ,,the ,,races4--,they are five races1 which are the white and yellow1 and black and red and brown4 ,the yellow race likes to eat rat1 and the black race likes to eat man1 and the white race likes to eat frog1 and the red race likes to eat buffalo4 ,the ,caucasian is the strongest in the world4 ,the semi-civilized have their own civilization1 but not like the white race4 ,the savage race kept their own ways1 and they have had three occupations3 they were hunted1 fished and foughted to the other people4 ,they beat1 too4 ,the white race have three occupations3 agriculture1 manufacturing and commerce4 ,the white people they are civilized2 they have everything1 and go to school1 too4 ,they learn how to read and write so they can read newspaper4 ,the yellow people they half civilized1 some of them know how to read and write1 and some know how to take care of themself4 ,the red people they big savages2 they don't know anything4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,extract4 ,we do not print the extract given below because it has our approval1 but because it is taken from a newspaper published by colored men1 and is significant4 ,we have yet to learn that unless we organize for self-protection and make use of our organization1 we shall continue to be used as foot-balls1 and a target for infuriated white mobs4 ,unless we take active and aggressive measures for our safety1 we shall continue to receive treatment which should not be administered to the beasts of the field4 ,we do not believe there should exist one law for the white man and one law for the black man1 as there exists in the ,south to-day4 ,we are all sovereign citizens1 and should be protected by the laws alike4 ,the present dispensation of the law in the ,south is an infamous outrage1 and is unworthy of a great country like ours4 ,what is the remedy for this state of affairs8 ,history shows that sooner or later oppressed people arise from their lethargy1 and take by force that which is denied them by the laws of their country4 ,what we need to do1 is to organize such societies as the one so earnestly advocated by the editor of the late ,freeman1 and use such societies for the enforcement of the law and the obtaining of our rights when they are denied us4 ,the colored people of this country need not expect that their white fellow-citizens are going to aid them in this struggle1 so we might as well put our shoulder to the wheel1 buckle on our armor and go forth to the conflict with stern faces and undaunted courage4 ,blessings never come to those who recline upon the indolent couch of ease and wait for them2 the honors of this life do not come unsought2 a tree planted does not grow to maturity and produce abundant fruit unless nurtured and cared for until it is able to withstand the changes of the seasons4 ,so with our condition in this country4 ,as long as we remain silent while our rights are being filched from us1 we may expect a continuance of this kind of thing4 ,let us organize ourselves into a powerful and extensive organization and then we shall be in a position to make a systematic and aggressive1 as well as harmonious1 struggle for our rights4 ,if we do this1 we shall command the respect of all men1 even if we fail in obtaining what we struggled for4 ,but we shall not fail4 ,truth and justice sooner or later triumph1 if those who champion them are only true to themselves4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,death ,,of ,,mrs4 ,l4 ,a4 ,,orr4 ,in the rest and quiet of vacation1 death has come to the little band left at ,talladega4 ,on ,july #aeth1 ,mrs4 ,orr passed suddenly away from earth4 ,the day before1 while riding with a friend1 the horse stumbled1 and falling forward pulled her out of the buggy to the ground4 ,it was not supposed she was seriously hurt1 but later it was found that the fall had produced concussion of the brain4 ,in about two hours she became unconscious1 and lay in that condition through all the hours of the night4 ,at #i3cj on ,sabbath morning1 without a word or look of recognition1 she passed away4 ,thus has ended a most useful and consecrated life4 ,she was president of our ,w4 ,c4 ,t4 ,u41 and none will be more missed4 ,tired teachers ever found a warm welcome1 rest and quiet in her pleasant rooms1 and guests of the college will remember with gratitude ,mrs4 ,orr's careful thoughtfulness for their comfort4 ,leaving a pleasant home at the ,north and remunerative occupation1 ,mr4 and ,mrs4 ,orr came into this missionary work with but a single aim1 that of doing good1 and nobly has it been accomplished4 ,by their efforts1 mission schools in two out-stations have been established and funds obtained for a school and church in one1 to be called ,clinton ,chapel in honor of the donors1 most of whom lived in ,clinton1 ,mass4 ,mrs4 ,orr visited these schools4 ,her personal presence cheered and encouraged them1 and she gave from her own means with no unsparing hand to further the work4 ,the death of their friend brings great sorrow to the people of these neighborhoods1 and they are greatly cast down4 8,shall we have to give up our new chapel80 and 8,what can we do without ,mrs4 ,orr80 are questions asked on all sides4 ,dear friend6 ,god help us to more faithfully and prayerfully carry on the work you have laid down4 ,a4 ,r4 ,d4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,on ,,to ,,jesus2 ,,on ,,to ,,god4 ,,by

important element of that work4 ,the rapid development of this department within the past few years has been somewhat remarkable4 ,our friends expressed grateful surprise at the ,portland meeting that

enrollment of #ae1aji1 an increase in five years of #g1bgd1 or nearly #ajj per cent410 was the very satisfactory showing as given in the last ,annual ,report4 ,two interesting bits of history have recently come to me1 which indicate that the ,sunday-school work of the ,association is developing with still greater rapidity and success4 ,reports were gathered from twenty-two of the students of ,straight ,university1 ,new ,orleans1 who taught school during the summer vacation4 ,these students were not so busy with their work in the day-school as to neglect their duty as ,christians in the organization of ,sunday-schools4 ,they were scattered throughout ,louisiana and ,mississippi1 and reached many needy fields4 ,they reported the following facts3 ,number of pupils in the day-schools which were taught by them #a1cih ,number of ,sunday-schools organized #ac ,these students were superintendents or teachers in #bb ,number of scholars in these ,sunday-schools #a1egd ,number of hopeful conversions to ,christ #afh ,five ,bands of ,mercy were organized with a membership of #aha ,four ,temperance ,societies were formed with a membership of #bda ,these facts furnish us excellent evidence of the judicious and enthusiastic efforts of these colored students to save and elevate their own people4 ,fifteen hundred and seventy-four children gathered into ,sunday-schools1 most of whom were absolutely unreached before1 by these twenty-two under-graduates of a single ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 school6 ,it is not strange that the ,president of ,straight ,university1 in giving these facts1 adds1 with evident satisfaction3 8,if a complete record could be made of all the work done in one year even1 by past and present members of our school1 or any of the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 schools1 it would make an aggregate most wonderful40 99 99 99 99 99 ,turning now to the progress of ,sunday-school work in our great ,mountain field1 we find the same remarkable development4 ,calvary ,congregational ,church was organized at ,pine ,mountain1 ,tenn41 ,nov4 #bf1 #ahhg1 with thirteen members4 ,the following striking facts are just reported as the results secured in the past few months by the energetic ,christian workers in this church4 ,sunday-schools have been established in the following places1 with the enrollment given below3 ,calvary ,church ,sunday-school enrolled #adb ,shiloh 8 8 #abg ,new ,prospect 8 8 #fh ,lick ,creek 8 8 #gh making a grand total of #dae children and young people gathered into these ,sunday-schools on the mountain1 and only ten pupils of this whole enrollment had ever been in ,sunday-,school before66 ,another school is soon to be formed in this neighborhood4 ,this 8,pine ,mountain0 field is about #bj #fj miles1 and the little church which the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 built during the past few months is the only framed 8church house0 in the whole region4 ,think of it1 ,o ,christian friends1 you who hold the ,lord's money in trust1 #a1bjj square miles1 with cabin homes scattered along every 8cove0 and fertile valley1 left1 to this year of our ,lord #ahhh1 with only one suitable place of worship6 ,in building this new church1 the people themselves have strained every nerve and made large personal sacrifices4 ,they have had the occasional services of the ,general ,missionary of the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 for that locality1 and ,i visited them once when ,field ,superintendent4 ,they have also been assisted from the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 treasury1 but they have labored in season and out of season themselves in order to establish this splendid work4 ,the rapid development of the ,sunday-schools is not the only feature of this work that merits our attention4 ,one member of this church has distributed during the year #dbd new ,bibles and #ade second-hand ,bibles4 ,he has visited #ejj families personally4 ,he found that #fj per cent4 of these people were without the ,word of ,god in complete form4 ,a few had mutilated copies of the ,bible4 99 99 99 99 99 ,there are hundreds of fields in the ,mountain ,work of the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 just as needy and just as hopeful as ,pine ,mountain4 ,all the facts indicate that ,god has now opened this field to us4 ,an intelligent mountaineer said to me1 some months ago3 8,our great and only hope lies in the ,a4 ,m4 ,a4 and the ,congregational churches of the ,north40 ,surely these churches will not disappoint this hope1 nor refuse to heed the voice of ,god speaking to them in all the stirring events of this ,mountain ,work4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,the ,,busy ,,workers4 ,the hive of the ,american ,missionary ,association in the ,south has no use for drones4 ,the bees are at work summer and winter1 and they improve not only the 8shining hour10 but have to be busy in rainy days as well4 ,one of our workers who has long been in the field1 and who deserves to be kept there still longer1 writes as follows in accepting re-appointment3 ,i most cheerfully accept the work for another year1 and to show you that it means work for me ,i will just give you my programme for the past two weeks3 ,a rough ride two weeks ago this ,p4,m4 to the top of the mountain1 and then on foot down the mountain to ,spring ,city1 to take the night train for ,lexington4 ,got into ,lexington ,wednesday morning in a rain4 ,looked at this and that piece of property during ,wednesday and ,thursday1 it raining most of the time4 ,came back ,friday to ,helenwood4 ,made some calls on ,saturday and preached at night4 ,preached at #aa ,a4,m4 next day1 and walked eight miles to ,robbins and preached at night4 ,got up at #c o'clock and walked four miles to catch a train that would stop at ,glen ,mary4 ,reached ,spring ,city for breakfast at #f3cj4 ,came up home and answered what letters ,i needed to1 and went back to ,spring ,city to stay all night4 ,took train at six o'clock ,tuesday morning for ,sunbright4 ,rode out to ,deer ,lodge4 ,made four pastoral calls1 walking four miles to do it1 and was ready for an eight-mile ride in lumber wagon1 ,wednesday morning1 in the rain to ,mt4 ,vernon to deliver the oration of the day4 ,went back to ,sunbright next morning and found your letters of the #crd4 ,went to ,emory ,gap that evening4 ,walked out two miles in mud to see ,bro4 ,clark4 ,came back to ,sunbright ,friday1 so as to reach ,deer ,lodge for a church meeting that night4 ,made some calls ,saturday morning1 and then walked three miles to call on a ,congregational family that ought to unite with our church here1 and came back to preach at night4 ,taught a lesson in ,sunday-school next morning1 and preached4 ,walked to ,sunbright1 seven miles1 and preached at night4 ,got up at #b o'clock to walk seven miles to ,glen ,mary to take the early train to reach home and attend to correspondence so ,i can get off to ,crossville to-morrow4 ,i do not always have it put on quite so thickly as this1 but it is a pretty fair average4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,talladega ,,college4 ,,mrs4 ,l4 ,a4 ,,orr4 ,talladega ,college has just passed its eighteenth annual ,commencement which1 in many respects1 was the most successful ever held4 ,the exercises began on ,thursday night1 ,june #gth1 with an exhibition in the chapel by the second and third grades of ,cassedy ,school1 followed on ,friday by exercises in the ,primary ,department1 and at night by an exhibition by the fourth and fifth grades of ,cassedy ,school1 all of which reflected credit upon the teachers in charge4 ,to many of our ,northern friends1 these may seem a very insignificant part of ,commencement exercises1 but to these parents1 who consider all school work a failure which does not close with an exhibition1 and who will travel miles to hear their children 8say their pieces10 they are a very important part4 ,at these exercises the chapel was crowded almost to suffocation1 the hall and windows were full1 and many went away1 as they could not find even standing room4 ,on ,sunday1 in the absence of ,pres4 ,de,forest1 the baccalaureate sermon was preached by ,rev4 ,j4 ,m4 ,sturtevant1 ,d4,d41 of ,cleveland1 ,ohio1 and was full of rich thought and practical suggestions4 ,at night1 ,rev4 ,g4 ,m4 ,elliott1 of ,selma1 preached an excellent missionary sermon1 very helpful to the students who go out into the dark places to labor among their people4 ,the mornings of ,monday1 ,tuesday and ,wednesday were occupied with public examinations in the different departments1 and they all gave evidence of faithful work having been done by teachers and pupils4 ,the examinations in theology and moral philosophy were especially fine1 and would do credit to any ,northern white students4 ,monday night was given to the exercises of the three literary societies connected with the college and these were conducted wholly by the students4 ,on ,tuesday afternoon was the inspection of the industrial classes1 printing office1 barns1 c4 ,in the large airy sewing-room were samples of work done by the girls1 including quilts1 garments of all kinds1 and some very neat darning4 ,in the printing office several young men were engaged in type-setting1 presswork1 etc41 and the neatness of the printed programmes testified to the good work done by the 8college press40 ,visitors to the ,slater shop found the blacksmith at his forge1 the painter1 the glazier and the cabinet-maker busy at work1 and the wonder was that one small shop could accommodate so many trades4 ,the brick masons were laying the foundation for an addition to the building1 which will give better facilities for work4 ,the fine stock on the farm1 the new and improved farming tools1 the steam engine in operation1 and neat barns1 attracted many visitors4 ,a lecture at night by ,dr4 ,sturtevant1 on the subject 8,manners10 closed a very busy day4 ,thursday was ,commencement and the fullest day of the week4 ,first came the graduating exercises2 the class numbered seven1 three young women and four young men from the ,normal ,department4 ,next came the alumni address and essay1 after which the treasurer gave a brief statement of the resources of the college4 ,the increase in attendance as compared with last year was more than eighty4 ,at the alumni dinner1 in ,foster ,hall parlor1 were present the alumni1 the ,faculty1 and friends from the ,north1 ,south1 ,east and ,west1 to the number of seventy in all4 ,after supplying our physical wants1 next in order came the toasts and responses4 ,dr4 ,andrews was master of ceremonies and in response to the toast 8,our ,theological ,work10 ,rev4 ,spencer ,snell1 of ,birmingham1 spoke of the great need of an educated ministry among the colored people1 and told an amusing story of the 8call to preach0 of a colored man4 ,he was at work in the field1 but soon got tired1 and leaning on his hoe1 he said to himself1 8,dis hoe am so heaby1 an' dis row am so long1 an' dis sun am so hot1 ,i tink dis nigger am called to preach de gospel40 ,next ,paul ,bledsoe of ,laredo1 ,texas1 spoke for 8,our ,normal ,work10 ,james ,brown for 8,our ,students10 and ,mr4 ,stephen ,childs1 of ,marion1 for the 8,parents of our ,students40 ,rev4 ,j4 ,silsby1 of ,tenn41 who was personally acquainted with the early history of the college1 responded to the toast 8,the ,founding of ,talladega ,college40 8,our ,churches0 was responded to by ,rev4 ,c4 ,b4 ,curtis1 of ,selma1 and ,j4 ,r4 ,sims1 of ,shelby ,iron ,works4 ,dr4 ,andrews closed with a few words for the college4 ,at night1 ,w4 ,p4 ,hamilton and ,j4 ,a4 ,jones1 who were graduated from the theological department in #ahhg1 were ordained to the work of the gospel ministry4 ,this closed the exercises of the week4 ,during the week1 many kind words were spoken for the college by friends from different parts of the ,state1 showing that the best colored people in the ,state appreciate the thorough work done here4 ,during the week ,president ,de,forest was very much missed1 but we all hoped that what was our loss would be his gain in health and strength from his trip across the ocean4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,trinity ,,school1 ,,athens1 ,,ala4 ,another year of pleasant work has just closed4 ,teachers and students1 though looking rather worn and weary1 are in the happiest mood1 for all feel it has been a good year4 ,the latter part of this school year has been specially characterized by very earnest study1 and an ambition to reach one hundred per cent4 in every thing4 ,one student has done this with a single exception1 and says that he 8shall surely make that up during vacation40 ,all have attained a higher standing than usual1 and our final examinations were excellent4 ,our sending a class to ,fisk ,university this year1 with favorable reports of them coming from month to month1 has proved a constant inspiration to our classes here1 and we hope as the years go by1 to send many more in the same direction4 ,but the great struggle with us is to hold our students long enough to take them through even an elementary normal course4 ,parents in their ignorance and extreme poverty1 are in such a hurry to have their children teach and earn money to help support the younger ones1 that1 as soon as they can get a third grade certificate to teach in the public schools of the ,state1 they are supposed to be educated4 ,and1 too often1 the people in the rural districts1 impressed with the wonderful attainments of the young teacher1 add to the folly of the parents in making these young people themselves1 7only the weaker ones71 think 8they know enough1 without going to school any more10 and so they drift into the ranks of those who 8think they are something1 when they are nothing40 ,this is one of our discouragements1 but we have very much for our encouragement in the beautiful homes that are springing up all over this fair ,south-land1 and in the noble band of intelligent1 consecrated1 ,christian workers who1 in pulpits and school-houses1 and in the conscientious and successful management of business1 are leading their people to a higher plane of living and to a truer citizenship4 ,our closing exercises were held on ,monday night1 ,may #bh1 our twenty-third anniversary4 ,our large and beautiful hall was packed as never before4 ,the audience was appreciative and very enthusiastic4 ,there were visitors from ,birmingham and ,decatur1 and all the towns along the lines of railroad4 ,they expressed great interest in what they saw and heard1 promising to send us many new students in ,october2 but the difficulty is to find suitable places for them to board1 as the parents all prefer to have their children in the ,institution under the constant supervision of teachers4 ,our exercises were quite novel1 and had some unique features that greatly pleased the patrons4 ,in all that was attempted1 the pupils acquitted themselves well1 and the little children especially pleased the patrons of the school in their beautiful and perfect ,scripture recitations4 ,all the ,sunday-school ,golden ,texts from ,october to ,june1 were recited without a mistake1 also several ,psalms and an entire chapter from ,isaiah4 ,bible truth planted in the hearts of these young children1 will1 we trust1 bear precious fruit in their future lives4 ,m4

,knowing nowhere else to go1 ,i went to the southwestern part of ,arkansas4 ,i had been informed by a ,fisk student that there were vacancies in ,hempstead county1 and thither ,i bent my way in company with two other young men1 also seeking summer employment1 both of whom opened subscription schools in the ,state4 ,i had taken two lessons a day in ,latin during the school year just ended1 and expected to 8double my ,greek0 the next year4 ,this would necessitate my being in at the beginning of the school year4 ,i had always been politically inclined1 and so had studied almost every artifice to win among strangers4 ,we three rode from ,hope1 ,arkansas1 to ,washington1 a distance of ten miles1 in an old-fashioned ambulance4 ,on arriving at ,washington1 we were taken to the house of the colored teacher of that place4 ,i looked at him2 he extended his hand2 ,i explained our business1 and immediately he volunteered to assist us4 ,i had a particular school in view on leaving ,nashville4 ,on arriving at ,washington1 ,i learned from ,mr4 ,shepperson1 the teacher referred to1 that one of the trustees of that school was in town4 ,i immediately started out in search of him4 ,in a short time ,i was presented to a stoutly-built1 heavy-set man1 who was introduced as the gentleman ,i desired to see4 ,i forthwith explained to ,mr4 ,holt1 for such was his name1 that ,i had been informed that there was a colored school to be taught that summer in his district1 and that ,i had come hoping ,i could get it4 8,yes10 said he1 8there is a school there1 but it will be a month before it can open40 8,is that so80 said ,i4 8,i don't see what ,i'll do4 ,have you any objections to its being opened now80 8,oh1 no2 if the colored people are willing1 ,i am10 said he4 ,but ,i could see in the tone of his voice something that showed an unwillingness to have the school begin before ,mr4 ,holt's cotton was worked out4 ,however1 ,i took him at his word1 and set out in the hot sun and sand1 with my satchel on my back1 to the desired plantation4 ,on the way1 ,i saw two million lizzards1 one billion spiders1 and a trillion scorpions1 to say nothing of tarantulas and centipedes that appeared in countless numbers along my path4 ,i arrived at ,mr4 ,h4's house about six o'clock in the evening1 and proceeded immediately to the cabin where the colored people lived4 ,finding no one at the cabin1 ,i went to the field4 8,good evening10 said ,i to an old colored lady4 8,good evenin'10 said she4 8,i am from ,fisk ,university1 ,nashville1 ,tenn4 ,i have come out here to teach

leaving ,nashville1 ,i put on my best4 ,i knew1 in case of any difficulty1 my clothes would be an important factor in obtaining success4 ,i went to an old colored man1 plowing in that field1 opened my duster1 showed him my nice coat and shirt-stud1 at the same time telling him1 as fast as ,i could1 whence ,i came1 my object in coming1 and reading the ,fisk catalogue to let him learn something about the school4 ,he seemed satisfied with me4 ,his countenance had changed from its troubled appearance to a pleasant one4 ,but for ten minutes we argued the possibility of a cotton crop being made there if school opened then4 ,i made point after point1 but could not convince him1 so put out after his wife4 ,she was readily convinced of the desirability of having school open immediately2 she promised to send three children1 and to turn the old man4 ,i next encountered ,jack ,davis4 8,if you open school now1 we'll starve next winter10 said he4 ,i tried to show him differently1 but was unsuccessful4 ,i asked him for a drink4 ,on reaching the house for it ,i explained my mission to his wife1 and obtained her consent to open the school1 with her promise to send two4 ,i next met a man who had no children to send4 ,when ,i showed him the picture of ,fisk ,university 7,jubilee ,hall71 he immediately volunteered to work for me4 ,he and ,i went and saw nearly every man in the community before #i o'clock that night4 ,the majority were against me1 but ,i had resolved to open school there and then4 ,time would not permit me to delay longer4 ,the next day 7,sunday7 ,i was given a ,bible class to teach in the ,sunday-school4 ,to my surprise1 on going out doors ,i found that a preliminary school meeting had been held under the trees and that the ,sunday-school teacher1 though against me on coming there1 had changed and was marshalling his forces for the great meeting on the morrow4 ,at #aa o'clock that same morning ,i heard a rousing blast by a huntsman's horn4 ,on inquiring1 ,i found that my childless friend was telling the people to come together the next day4 ,in the meantime1 ,jack ,davis came over and discussed the matter with me4 ,he closed by saying that ,i talked too fast for him1 but that one thing was sure3 he would send no children4 ,i did a great deal of talking that ,sunday2 not willingly1 but on being introduced to the people as they came around to see me1 nothing was left but to discuss in full the question of opening4 ,it was an ox in the mire4 ,well1 ,monday came4 ,the horn once more resounded through the woods4 ,the people gathered from far and near4 ,the chairman was elected1 and1 on stating the object of the meeting1 took occasion to show them the impracticability of opening before the first of ,july4 8,there10 thought ,i1 8whipped again4 ,the chair is against me40 ,i arose and spoke ten minutes4 ,on taking my seat1 one opposed to me spoke4 ,among other things1 he said3 8,too many rascals are out from school1 anyhow40 ,here one would rise on my side2 there one on the other side4 ,every man1 including myself1 seemed to do his best to talk loud enough4 ,the chairman showed weakness in presiding1 and was lacking in a knowledge of parliamentary usage4 ,thought ,i1 8here is my chance40 ,every time he blundered ,i arose and pointed out his error2 showed him how to appoint his committees1 and instructed him as to what motions took precedence4 ,he saw my object1 and informed me openly that he had participated in conventions in ,helena4 8,it makes no difference10 said ,i2 8you are wrong in your ruling40 ,he began to look pitiful in the eyes of all4 ,men began to leave the room4 ,soon one-half of them were on the outside4 ,the tide was turned4 ,i went out to inquire more fully into matters4 ,nearly every man was now for me4 8,then1 come in10 said ,i2 8you can't help me out here40 ,i remained behind to see that all came4 ,the previous question1 namely1 to open the school on the first of ,june1 was called4 ,all stood up in the affirmative except the man who had seen the 8rascals40 ,i had won through the chairman's ignorance4 ,i have often thought of it since1 and see more fully every day that most battles are lost or won through incompetency on one side and superiority on the other1 and that knowledge is truly a power4 ,i will add that ,jack ,davis was my best friend after opening that school1 and ,dick ,brown1 whom ,i met plowing on going from ,aunt ,daffney's house1 carried my trunk a quarter of a mile for nothing1 and loaned me his watch while ,i taught there4 ,on going away1 the man who was so afraid of the 8rascals0 came four miles to my house and carried my trunk thirteen miles to ,hope--all for nothing4 ,the crop turned out well4 ,i gained twenty pounds1 and1 in a word1 we were all happy4 ,,the

scattered in villages of from twenty to fifty families in a village1 and the settlements from five to ten miles apart4 ,i could put a hundred ,bibles in as many homes now among ,catholics and wholly heathen families where one1 at least could read it who has learned in some school of ours or the ,presbyterians4 ,i could give out a thousand ,dakota ,primers1 or ,first ,readers1 into as many homes where they are anxious to read in their own tongue4 ,there is no law against a ,dakota's owning a ,dakota ,bible1 nor reading a ,dakota primer in his own home4 ,we could establish ten schools where ,sabbath services could be held1 at once4 ,we could so reach a great many homes and hasten the civilization and ,christianization of these ,indians by many years4 ,i go long distances into ,catholic

have been riding sixteen miles to treat her1 and then riding home1 the man always coming for me and bringing me back4 ,i have now given twelve years to this work4 ,i have seen wonderful changes4 ,i have seen men with painted faces and feathers following the leader on to darkness and death4 ,i have seen the same men1 clothed and in their right minds1 stand before a heathen audience of their own

special interest only because it is a little more full in its statement than others relating to other voyages4 ,the writer1 ,ng ,hing1 was brought to faith in ,christ at our ,barnes ,mission1 and the

repeating that greeting which ,jesus gave to the first ,nathaniel3 8,behold an ,israelite indeed1 in whom there is no guile40 ,and ,i have found this impression abundantly confirmed by the testimony of his brethren and my own closer acquaintanceship4 ,the letter is a little old1 being dated ,nov4 #agth4 ,when it was first placed in my hands ,i asked the privilege of laying it before the readers of the ,,missionary1 but it has been crowded out till now4 ,i give it with no attempt to set it right in its ,english4 ,it will be understood as it is1 and will be read1 ,i trust1 with all the more

given me4 ,i used to read it very often because it is very improve to me1 and that ,i know the ,lord ,jesus has opened my soul-eye and raised me from the death of sin to a life of righteousness4 ,i will to tell all my countrymen what great thing ,jesus has done for me1 just as much as ,i can speak to4 8,now ,i want to tell you about our journey4 ,we have met fifteen missionary ladies and gentlemen4 ,some go to ,japan and some to ,china4 ,and several ,chinese ,christian brethren were there1 and we have joined with the missionary to have service on every ,sunday morning4 ,i am very glad we have so pleasant opportunity on the ship--sing to praise ,god and spoke the gospel of ,jesus4 8,but on the ,oct4 #bfth we meet a great tempest2 the waves run over the deck1 and the wind against the ship1 dreadful4 ,that made the ,chinese heathen complain and say many wicked words against us ,christians2 and they said to themselves1 too3 #8,we must not allow these ,chinese ,christians have the meeting on the ship because they tell us believe in ,jesus and not worship the idol and image2 therefore the evil spirits made the wind and the waves against the ship4' ,oh1 ,i am very sorry for them1 so foolish1 when ,i heard that4 ,for we trust in ,god and know he will take care of us1 and even the tempest so great4 ,god made it peaceful1 and carry us all to get through safely--never drown4 ,we should all thank ,god for his mercies and praise him so great and so powerful4 ,but the heathen not mind ,god and do not care for their souls4 8,the missionary was very kindly to them and pity them so ignorant4 8,on the #fth of ,nov4 ,mr4 ,chalfant read ,acts #ag3bd-cj1 and ,i read it in ,chinese and we try to explain it to them1 but they were very proud1 and not want to hear the ,gospel of ,jesus4 ,they only crowd round us and make terrible noise1 with revilings and indignity to us4 ,that was to be fulfilled the words which ,jesus had said to us ,christians3 #8,ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake4' ,well1 no matter what they said2 the ,bible says3 #8,love your enemies and do kindly to them that hated you1' and we know ,god will be with us and help us in trouble1 and even the heathen so persecuted us1 but we do kindly to them and pray for them4 ,now please pray for me1 for the temptation is great here2 and pray for the missionary in ,china4 99 99 99 ,i do not forget all

regularly40 ,and here is a little of the 8shady side0 in another field3 8,i found these three brethren here not quite love each other4 ,they too much complained each other's faults4 ,i felt very sorry for them4 ,i think every one of them is try to do right1 but they are all impatient2 that is the trouble4 ,i visited some stores in ,chinatown2 invited men to come to school4 ,some men told me many scholars stayed away because the ,christian boys quarrel4 ,so ,i thought better write you that you will pray for them on that matter4 ,i told them we must love and forgive each other1 hold fast together in the bond of peace1 and serve the ,lord with the pure heart1 then we will bring forth fruit40 ,sound doctrine1 to which many a company of ,american believers would do well to take heed1

,dear ,miss ,emerson3 ,having just returned from my class of ,chinese children1 my mother thought1 for the sake of variety1 ,i might give an account of this interesting though curious gathering4 ,this class was formed about three years ago4 ,there was no ,sabbath-school for ,chinese children at the time1 and seeing the great need of one1 and being unable to attend to it on ,sunday1 ,i decided to have it on ,friday afternoon1 at three o'clock4 ,about three-quarters of an hour before the time for commencing1 ,i start for the children1 going from home to home1 inviting and coaxing them to come4 ,i sometimes carry with me pieces of cake and candy or a bright text-card to attract those who seem more timid than the rest4 ,if ,i meet a stray child on the street1 ,i say 8,na lie dook she80 7,you come to school87 ,sometimes my labors are rewarded by seeing a bundle of clothes slip past me1 and a minute afterward all is lost in oblivion in a small alley2 but sometimes they slip their dirty hands into mine and trudge along with me1 amid the jeers and contemptuous smiles of those passing by4 ,finally we arrive at our school room1 between twenty and thirty children being present1 ranging all the way from five to twelve years4 ,we commence by singing three or four hymns2 then all rise and repeat a prayer after me in concert1 sentence by sentence4 ,i then explain the ,sabbath-school lesson through an interpreter1 and either show the picture of the ,international ,lessons1 or a black-board drawing1 and sometimes an object4 ,i find1 as with all children1 their interest can be awakened and held by means of an object or picture4 ,after letting each repeat the text given the week before1 we close with the ,lord's ,prayer in ,chinese2 and after good-bye is said all around1 ,i dismiss them1 taking some of them home1 as their parents are afraid to trust them across the car tracks alone4 ,these children are exceedingly bright and attentive1 and as to their good behavior1 ,i can sometimes hold up their example as worthy of the imitation of my class of ,american boys4 ,only to-day1 in speaking of the lesson on 8,worshiping the ,golden ,calf10 ,i asked which they worshiped1 ,god or idols1 and one little girl said1 8,me worship ,god2 idols no good4 ,they have eyes1 no see2 hands and feet1 and no walk40 ,and when ,i asked all to raise their hands who would worship ,jesus1 she raised both hands4 ,when shown the picture of ,abraham offering ,isaac1 one of them said1 8,why did not he run away80 ,one day1 when taking home a little girl of five years of age1 she looked at the cable car which was passing1 and said1 8,what for does that car go faster than that one 7pointing to a horse car78 ,that has no horse40 ,they ask innumerable questions1 and want to know the why and wherefore of everything4 ,oh6 my dear ,christian friends1 pray for me1 that ,i may be aided in teaching and guiding these precious souls1 on whom so much of ,china's progress depends4 ,yours in ,christ1 ,,lilian ,,lamont4 ,,our ,,young ,,folks4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,little ,,indians4 ,perhaps there are little children in some of the beautiful homes in the cities who cannot understand that the ,indians are not all born grown up1 with feathers on their heads and tomahawks in their hands4 ,one little blue-eyed girl once said to me with a very long ,o-o-o-o and her hand over her mouth1 8,oh1 o-h6 ,i did not know there were little ,indian boys and girls60 but let me tell you1 little ,golden ,hair1 there are ,indian boys and girls4 ,they have some very funny names1 too4 ,but there is one thing pleasant about it2 their names are given to them because they mean something4 ,as ,i write this article1 ,i look out from my window and see an ,indian boy with a roughly-made sled drawing his little sister up the hill so that she can slide down again behind him4 ,little ,indians are not wholly unlike little white boys and girls4 ,they eat and sleep1 laugh and cry1 but they do not fight4 ,that comes with civilization4 ,i can from my window watch the boys and girls playing on the hillside every day as long as the snow lasts1 and ,i never have heard a child cry nor have ,i seen one child hurt another4 ,i can hear them laugh and shout and cheer when one tumbles off the sled1 but no angry or bad words are ever used4 ,they are very merry and happy when we remember that there is no ,indian child that does not know what it is to be hungry and have the mother say there is no food4 ,when a little baby comes into an ,indian home1 he is wrapped up in a blanket and it is tied all about him so that he cannot use his arms or legs1 and he looks very much like a rag doll1 but he cries and laughs just like a real flesh and blood and bones baby4 ,but1 little ,golden ,hair1 let me whisper to you one secret of the ,indian baby's happy life3 he never gets spanked6 ,they leave that to the uncivilized white mother4 ,so1 after all1 the white boy does not have all the good in life2 does he8 ,only think of sliding down hill a whole morning without even a board between the smooth snow and the trousers1 going home with wet and worn clothes and not getting whipped2 not even sent to bed6 ,indian children are never punished2 but1 after all1 they are not bad4 ,the boys like to hunt the snowbirds with bows and arrows4 ,they kill a great many too4 ,the little girls play with corn-cob dolls and little tents and travois1 or toshoes1 as they call them1 sometimes drawn by dogs4 ,the ,indian children have hard lives after all4 ,they cannot live to grow up unless they are pretty strong4 ,a great many little ones die for want of good1 wholesome food1 and many for want of fresh air and warm clothes4 ,we want all the little boys and girls in ,christian homes to remember the little ,dakotas4 ,there is much good in them2 and if they had the advantages you have1 perhaps they would be fully as well behaved1 and as true and faithful to ,god1 as are you4 ,will you help us to save the little ,indians8 ,,mary ,c4 ,,collins4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,little ,,indian ,,children ,,in ,,the ,,birds' ,,nest ,,at ,,santee ,,agency1 ,,neb4 ,they are such happy little girls1 and so easily entertained4 ,just now ,i saw two of them getting such a merry time out of dragging the bowl of a large pewter spoon over the ground for a wagon1 putting a little stick in the way to represent water they had to cross--for our recent rains have flooded the bottom-lands in several places4 ,there was a nail lying in the spoon1 and ,i asked what that meant4 8,oh10 ,maggie said1 8that is me1 and ,i am going to the store to buy some beads40 ,a shorter nail was there to represent her younger playmate4 ,no little girls to-day1 pushing their red-cheeked wax dollies in their miniature baby carriages1 are any happier than our little ,indian girls1 drawing their broken pewter spoon and representing themselves by old rusty nails4 ,at our ,missionary ,society1 which meets every ,saturday for an hour1 ,i generally read them a little story2 sometimes from 8,the ,pansy10 which was sent us last year1 or from 8,our ,little ,men and ,women10 also a gift from an unknown friend4 ,they enjoy it always and like to see the pictures2 but the book that holds the charm1 and of which they never tire1 is 8,the ,story of the ,bible40 ,they have pieced two small quilts and one large one this season1 and will finish two others of medium size4 ,our mite box contains #b4ej at this date4 ,these are the pennies that their parents send them to be used in this way1 and occasionally they earn one by some little service for us4 ,,harriet ,b4 ,,ilsley4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,receipts ,,for ,,july1 #ahhh4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,maine1 #a1bha4id4 ,bangor4 ,hammond ,st4 ,ch4 #ge4ge ,bangor4 ,j4,h4 ,crosby1 for ,atlanta ,u4
