JAMES POWELL, D.D.\n\n\"He whom thou lovest is dead,\" were the sorrowful words of the stricken\nsisters concerning their brother; we repeat them to our many friends who\nenjoyed the personal friendship of our beloved brother Powell. These\nfriends cannot restore him to us, as _the_ Friend restored Lazarus to\nhis family; but they can sympathize with us in our great bereavement. It\nis scarcely three months since our honored president, Gov. Washburn, was\nsuddenly taken away, and we have not yet found his successor; and now,\nDr. Powell has been removed almost as suddenly, and we can scarcely hope\nto find one to take his place. Our only consolation is, that God makes\nno mistakes, and that, while men die, His work goes on.\n\nThe death of Dr. Powell was unexpected, but its cause lay far back. When\nonly nineteen years of age, he entered the service of the Christian\nCommission, and in the malarial regions of the South, the germs of\ndisease were planted in his system. They were the cause of frequent and\ndistressing turns of illness, while his irrepressible energy never\nallowed him to take the rest necessary for recovery. The physicians\npronounced the immediate cause of his death to be apoplexy, but most men\ncarrying his burden of ill-health would have yielded long before; only\nhis immeasurable hopefulness and activity sustained him to the end.\n\nRev. James Powell, D.D., was born in Wales, December 25, 1842. At an\nearly age he came to this country, and partly by his own exertions and\npartly by the help of friends whom he had won to himself by his genial\nnature and evident indications of future usefulness, he obtained an\neducation, graduating from Dartmouth College in 1866, and from Andover\nTheological Seminary in 1869. He was installed as pastor of the church\nat Newburyport in November, 1869, his only pastorate, and remained there\ntill February, 1873. His health being impaired by his incessant labors\nas pastor, he was persuaded by his friend, Rev. Mr. Pike, to aid in\nintroducing the Jubilee Singers to the English public, with the further\npurpose of either remaining abroad to manage the affairs of the Singers\nin Great Britain, or of returning and temporarily taking Mr. Pike's\nplace in Connecticut and New York, as District Secretary of the\nAssociation. The latter alternative was finally decided upon, and Mr.\nPowell assumed these duties in the latter part of the year 1873. A year\nafterwards, on the resignation of Rev. Dr. Patton from our Chicago\noffice, Mr. Powell, who had shown remarkable gifts as a speaker, was at\nonce selected as District Secretary of our Western department. Here he\nremained for nearly ten years, when some changes were required in our\ndistrict offices and he was called to New York as Assistant\nCorresponding Secretary, and entrusted with the supervision of the\nentire collecting field. The work he had done so acceptably and\nefficiently at the West was followed by equally effective services in\nhis wider field at the East. In the three years of the recent burden of\ndebt upon the Association, the energies of Dr. Powell were called into\nfull play, and when, at our last Annual Meeting, we rejoiced in\ndeliverance from debt, it was felt that the gratifying result was due in\na large measure to his eloquence by voice and pen. At that meeting Dr.\nPowell was elected Corresponding Secretary of the Association.\n\nBro. Powell was an orator born, not made. His eloquence was not of the\nWebsterian sort, massive and logical, but rather of that magnetic kind\nwhich wins and sways an audience at will, sometimes to smiles and then\nto tears, but always with definite persuasion. He was a brilliant writer\nas well as speaker. His pen glowed with a special inspiration, and was\nprolific as well. The pages of the AMERICAN MISSIONARY, the columns of\nthe weekly religious press, the numerous circulars issued from this\noffice and his abundant correspondence, all bear witness to this. He was\na wise man in counsel. The impassioned and imaginative speaker is not\nusually characterized by a cautious judgment or administrative gifts;\nbut we have found in this office that when grave questions arose for\nconsideration, Dr. Powell was remarkably conservative and judicious. But\nthe crowning glory of the man was his bright and genial nature, and his\nwarm and devoted Christian character. It was this that won all hearts,\nthat made him welcome on every platform and in every pulpit, that bound\nhis friends to him in warmest attachment, that opened the doors of all\nhomes to him and that leaves the memory of brightness behind him in the\noffices where he toiled and in his own dear home. His life went out not\nas the lightning's flash, that leaves the deeper darkness behind, nor as\nthe setting sun, that has the night before and after, but his departure\nfrom life was only the entrance into eternal brightness, and leaves a\nradiance behind that will be a perpetual joy and consolation to his\nfriends. He was born on Christmas day, and the festivities of another\nChristmas day were not wholly past when he died. His birth was a\nChristmas gift to earth, and, be it said with reverence, his death was a\nChristmas gift to Heaven, for through the grace of our Lord Jesus\nChrist, and the sanctifying influence of the blessed spirit, we believe\nhe was made meet to be presented to the Father, in whose hands we leave\nhim.\n\n\n\n\n\nA WORD TO OUR WORKERS\n\nTo lead a people long crushed by oppression away from the degradations\nof slavery into a true and intelligent freedom, to teach those who have\nno inheritance of steady purpose to rise into new habits of thought and\nfeeling, and away from the heredity of superstitions which were\nunrelated with morality, into a faith which really purifies the heart\nand the life, is not the work of a year, nor of fifty years. It means\npatient continuance in well doing. It means consecration, responsibility\nand self-sacrifice on the part of those who take upon themselves and\ninto themselves, the sins and the sorrows, and the struggles and\nfailures of those who are to be saved.\n\nNothing but a consecration that becomes a passion of the soul in\nChrist's love and for Christ's sake, and an abiding faith in the triumph\nof his kingdom of love and righteousness, will explain the earnestness\nand labor of the devoted souls in our mission work, who are God's kings\nand priests ministering to the lowly, and crowding their days with\nservice for those who have been the victims of the strong, and who, now\nweak and poor, are despised in their poverty and weakness.\n\n * * * * *\n\nAll honor to those who are giving themselves to break down the\ninjustices of a cruel and unchristian caste, all honor to the noble men\nand women who are working to rescue millions from the woeful inheritance\nof centuries, as well as to save them from the dominion of the sin which\nis common to man.\n\nOthers may honor Kings and Queens and Princes who have had their\ngreatness thrust upon them, but we will stand with those who accentuate\ntheir reverence for lives consecrated to the good of humanity, who are\nafflicted with the sorrows of God's poor, and oppressed with their\nburdens, and whose prayers and songs are _God save the people_, Their\nlives may not be chronicled in the pages which tell of those who lived\nto make others serve them, but they are shining names upon God's Book of\nLife, and in the day of the coronation of the nobility which God sees\nand records, their names will stand out like radiant stars in the\nheavens. One of such was JAMES POWELL, whose life was a grand sacrifice\nof undeviating love for those whose necessities made him feel that he\nwas debtor to them, until he gave them the price of his life which\nChrist had redeemed.\n\nSubordinating himself to this consecration with incessant desire, he has\nleft his example which may well be inspiration and strength to all who\nare working and praying for those who have been trodden under the feet\nof the strong, and he has left his influence for tens of thousands.\n\n * * * * *\n\nIn the prophecy which foretold Christ, centuries before he came it was\nwritten, \"_He shall not fail, nor be discouraged_.\" Fellow workers, it\nis not the consecration of a year, nor of a generation, that is to\nrestore the millions for whom we work to the places where God would\nbring them. The pitiless centuries cannot be redeemed in one day.\nDoubtless the work may seem slow and the time may seem long, but every\ngood deed counts, and no prayer is unheard. The good work is not in\nvain. The progress already made is wonderful. The workers who have\nconsecrated themselves may die in their unfinished work, but God has\npledged himself that the work shall go on. His promises and his\nprovidences will work together like cogs in a wheel. We shall not fail,\nand we need not be discouraged. Such lives as that of JAMES POWELL are\nnot too common in human history, but they show us how the divine can\nendue the human with its own power, and how God can make souls great\nwitnesses for God. Some tell us that the heroic ages have passed away,\nbut they have not. No! They will last until the world shall be saved,\nfor the inspirations which come from the spirit of God and from the\ncross of Christ will live in hearts which will burn to save those who\nneed to be saved.\n\n * * * * *\n\nSince the death of Dr. Powell, we have received numerous letters from\nall parts of the country expressing sympathy in our great bereavement,\nwhich the writers shared profoundly with us. The admiration and love\nentertained by the writers, and uttered in these letters, toward our\nbeloved brother, is gratifying to us, as it is also to his family. In\nthe pressure of duties consequent upon his death and burial, we have not\nfound time to reply to these letters, and take this occasion to\nacknowledge their receipt and to express our heartfelt thankfulness to\nthe writers.\n\n * * * * *\n\nWe shall not be able to make the stirring appeals to provide for the\nexigent demands of our great work which our readers have been wont to\nrecognize as coming from the heart of Dr. Powell, who had the oversight\nand burden of the collecting fields.\n\nNever was our work more critical, never more urgent and never more\nhopeful.\n\nThe winter months, on which we must chiefly rely, are here, and are fast\nmoving into the past. The work has been laid upon us and it would seem\nfaithless to our sacred trust to sacrifice any part of it. But we must\nnot take on a debt. We can only be saved from putting the knife to our\nwork or of trying to do what we cannot pay for, if the faithful pastors\nof the churches will give their very present help. If the pastors who\nbelieve in the work, which includes the education and salvation of the\nneedy among four races, will give their churches and Christian stewards\na good chance to know how great the cause is and what its honest appeals\nare, we are confident that the Lord will deliver us from impending\ntrouble.\n\n\nWe will gladly furnish every pastor, and others who will send to us for\nthem, such facts and figures as may be helpful in representing the work.\nSurely we can depend upon those who love God and their country for\nthoughtful remembrance and ready response.\n\n * * * * *\n\nThe Rev. C.J. Ryder who has been assigned to the District Secretaryship\nof the Eastern district for the collecting field in New England, will,\nupon his return from a supervisory tour in the extreme South, succeed\nour friend, Dr. Woodworth, in the Boston office.\n\nIt is well known to our readers that Superintendent Ryder, two and a\nhalf years ago, was induced to assume the laborious work then demitted\nby Rev. Dr. Roy upon a similar transfer of Dr. Roy from the Field\nSuperintendency to the District Secretaryship of the West, with his\noffice in Chicago. To those who have read the \"Notes in the Saddle\" from\nthe South, in our magazine, written by Supt. Ryder, we need add no word\nof introduction. Nor need we say that he will carry into his new\ndepartment of our common work the same energy, zeal and interest which\nhas characterized the past. With his presentations of the work, and with\nhis personal knowledge and experience of the field, and of every part of\nit, we anticipate for the new District Secretary a hearty welcome and\nco-operation on the part of our pastors and churches. The work in the\nSouth will be temporarily supervised, and arrangements have been made\nfor this by the New York office.\n\n * * * * *\n\nIn retiring from his long-time trust, the Rev. Dr. Woodworth bears with\nhim the thanks of multitudes of God's poor in the South, and the high\nregard of all who have been associated in co-operative work with him. It\nis not impossible that he may yet see his way to add to his record of\nmany years, still further service in another department of this varied\nwork.\n\n * * * * *\n\nDEATH OF REV. WM. H. ELLIS.\n\nRev. William H. Ellis died Nov. 28th, at Troy, N.C., aged thirty-five\nyears and six months. He entered the work of the A.M.A. in North\nCarolina in 1878 and continued in that field. At the time of his death\nhe was pastor of the Congregational Church and teacher of the\nAssociation's school, at Troy, N.C. He was a graduate of Williams\nCollege and continued his habits of study during the years of his\narduous labor as a missionary.\n\nHe had been for a long time in feeble health, but was unwilling to leave\nhis post of duty even temporarily to secure his recovery. His services\nin this field of the A.M.A. have been characterized by self-denial,\npatience and faithfulness. He was intensely loyal to his convictions and\ndied having fought the good fight, a Christian hero.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTHE FIELD.\n\n1887-1888.\n\nThe following list presents the names and post-office addresses of those\nwho are employed in the Churches, Institutions and Schools aided by the\nAmerican Missionary Association.\n\n\n\n\nTHE SOUTH.\n\n\n\n\nWASHINGTON, D.C.\n\nTHEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT, HOWARD UNIVERSITY.\n\nRev.

RYDER.\n\nI write these notes under the shadow of the great affliction that has\nfallen upon the A.M.A. in the death of Dr. Powell. Although he was at the\nhead of another department of A.M.A. work, we always knew that we had in\nhim a kind and thoughtful friend, and one who would cordially co-operate\nwith the other officers in their far-reaching plans for the development\nof the work, even though it added to his cares and burdens in gathering\nthe funds necessary to carry out these plans. We who have our work and\nresponsibilities in the field, no less than those who were in the office\nwith Dr. Powell, would bear our tribute of love, and scatter the\nblossoms of holy memories upon this new-made grave.\n\n * * * * *\n\nTwo State Associations of unusual interest were held during the month of\nNovember. The Central South Association met with the Trinity Church, in\nAthens, Ala., Nov. 3d. This Association includes the churches of\nTennessee and two or three of those in Alabama. The reports from the\nchurches were very complete. Only one church in the Association was\nwithout regular ministerial services, and that church had recently lost\nits pastor by death. They are now supplied by a competent and faithful\nminister. The temperance question was discussed with great enthusiasm.\nThe influence of Fisk University on the right side, during the recent\nprohibition battle in Tennessee, can scarcely be over-estimated. Many\nexpressed the judgment that the argument of the Southern whites, that\nthe colored people defeated prohibition, was not true. One pastor\nreported that his county went almost solidly against prohibition, and\nthere was only one colored man in the county, so far as he knew, and he\nwas a staunch prohibitionist. Some argued that while so many churches\nand Women's Christian Temperance Unions and Young Men's Christian\nAssociations shut out respectable colored people, and saloons welcomed\nthose who were not respectable, it would be a difficult task for the\nbetter class to induce the more ignorant to vote against those who\nwelcomed them and in favor of those who shut them out. Is there not\nconsiderable force in their arguments?\n\nA young colored man, who had been a preacher in one of the old churches\nof the South and had become disgusted with its ignorance, superstition\nand immorality, presented his credentials and applied for admission into\nthe Congregational Association of the State. This action of his is a\nstraw which shows which way the wind of religious thought blows among\nthe intelligent colored people of the South. The weather-vane points\ntoward Congregationalism. An aged pastor, who had endured ostracism and\nviolence in New York State in the early times, on account of his\nanti-slavery opinions, was present during the meetings of the\nAssociation, and added greatly to their interest. It was a thrilling\nsight to him to look upon these colored brethren during their earnest\nand often eloquent discussions, and to remember how much he had suffered\nin their behalf in other days. Trinity School opened its doors wide and\noffered generous hospitality to the pastors and delegates. On the whole,\nit was one of the best meetings the Association has ever enjoyed.\n\n * * * * *\n\nThe Congregational Association of the State of Georgia met with the\nchurch at Macon, November 9th-14th. The church and its new pastor, a son\nof Connecticut, did their utmost to make the meetings pleasant and\nhelpful. The band of earnest Christian teachers of Lewis Normal\nInstitute, the A.M.A. school at Macon, joined hands with the church and\npastor in helping to make the sessions of the Association profitable.\nHere, too, as in the Central South Association, the temperance question\nheld a prominent place in the discussions. There was not a member of the\nAssociation but was heartily in favor of prohibition. The Atlanta\ncampaign was on in all its heat and passion, and beseeching requests\nwere made by the delegates from that city that prayer might be offered\nfor them as they passed through the heat of this battle against\nlegalizing crime. Almost every church in the Association was represented\nin this meeting and one new church applied for admission. This church\nstands near the old prison pen of Andersonville and so the blood of the\nmartyrs proves the seed of the church, whether they wear the monk's cowl\nof a Huss or the ragged blue of our country. The church at Charleston,\nS.C., reported two missions just established in the destitute parts of\nthat city. All the churches in this Association assisted by the A.M.A.\nare struggling towards self-support under helpful pressure from that\nSociety. I am glad to report that the church at Savannah has taken upon\nitself the support of its pastor and local expenses for the next year.\nThe churches in this Association, although poor and often in serious\nfinancial straits themselves, showed their appreciation of other lines\nof Christian work by passing the following resolution:\n\n _Resolved,_ That in view of the financial embarrassments of the\n Home Missionary Society, the pastors of the churches urge upon\n their people the duty of taking up a collection for the benefit of\n that Society.\n\n * * * * *\n\nAs illustrating the need of intelligent and decent church services in\nthe South, I record the following facts, which were related to me by\nthose who knew of them personally. A colored preacher of the \"old-time\"\nsort preached on the Judgment Day. He held the meeting from evening till\nwell into the night. He arranged with a worthless fellow to hide himself\nin the woods just outside the church, with a tremendously big\ndinner-horn, with instructions to blow upon it at a certain signal. At\nthe awful hour of midnight, when, by entreaty and appeal and frightful\nfigures of speech, the preacher had worked the people up into a frenzy\nof excitement and terror, he exclaimed, \"Listen, I reckon I hear Gabriel\ngetting ready to blow now. De last day am on us, de judgment am right\nhere, whar you sinners now? Listen.\" And with bated breath they\nlistened. Just then there came a fearful blast on the stillness of the\nmidnight air, and the scene that followed can better be imagined than\ndescribed. Helter-skelter over the benches and over each other, the\nterrified people scrambled for the mourners' bench. The preacher\nboastfully told afterward, that \"dar want scarsely one sinner but what\nwah effected.\"\n\nThe quiet forms of worship in our Congregational churches, and the\nintelligent preaching of the A.M.A. ministers, are fast bringing about a\nstate of things which will drive out such church circuses, with their\nministerial clowns. God speed the day!\n\n * * * * *\n\nDuring a considerable portion of the last month I have been \"riding\ndouble,\" as our honored Secretary, Dr. Beard, has been in the saddle\nwith me. His knowledge of the field, gained through these frequent\npersonal visits, is of great advantage to the work and highly\nappreciated by the workers. We jogged together over many miles of\ncountry, comparing notes, discussing plans and expressing our mutual\nsurprise at the wonderful and far-reaching work which is being\naccomplished, and the prophetic glories of the future.\n\nAn account of the mountain campaign, through which Secretary Beard went\nwith me, will be the subject of future notes.\n\n * * * * *\n\nThe following churches have been organized in our Southern field during\nthe past few weeks:\n\nDeer Lodge Congregational Church, Deer Lodge, Tenn., organized Nov. 16,\n1887, with thirteen members; Calvary Congregational Church, Pine\nMountain, Tenn., organized Nov. 26, 1887, with thirteen members; Second\nCongregational Church, Decatur, Ala., organized Nov. 30, 1887, with\nfifteen members.\n\n * * * * *\n\n\n\n\nTHE INDIANS.\n\n\n\n\nWHAT AN INDIAN THINKS OF IT.\n\nThe writer of this letter is Loafer Redhorse, a son-in-law of the Titon\nChief, Swift Bear, whose band have colonized as homesteaders along the\nNiobrara River near the mouth of Keya Paha River. Their colony is one\nhundred and thirty miles from Rosebud Agency, to which they belong.\nTheir settlement we call Burrell Station in honor of Dea. Burrell, of\nOberlin, Ohio, who gave the money to build the school-house and home for\nthe teacher. Mr. Francis Frazier, son of Pastor Ehnamani of Santee, has\nnow been their teacher two years.\n\nLoafer Redhorse is anything but a loafer. He is one of the most\nindustrious men. He is one who would naturally be first in war, as he\nsays, and now also is first in following the plow, and learning the ways\nof the white man. Among other things it is interesting to know what he\nthinks of prohibiting the use of the Dakota language.\n\nMY FRIENDS: Let me speak now. I am sad because of one thing which I will\nnow speak of. Since our school-house (the Burrell station school) was\nbuilt, I, with my children, have attended with a glad heart just as if\nit were my own. And now I hear that it is likely to be closed, and I\nwill speak about that. And this is why I have something to say. The\nscholars who go out from the Brules to go to school, come back without\nknowing anything, for the reason that they don't teach them anything\nexcept to work. That is the reason they don't know anything, I think.\n\nAnd I will tell how it was with us under Indian customs since the time I\nhad understanding. Then the Indian tribes were happy. Into whatever\ncountry was good they roamed just as they pleased. At that time,\nalthough there were many Indians on all sides, there was a great country\nin between full of buffalo. It seemed to be the buffalo's country. And\nthe Indian people were made happy because of the buffalo. The people\nwould move their camps and pitch their tents again and the buffalo would\ncome right in among their tents with a great noise. Then it was that the\npeople had great joy.\n\nAnd there was another thing that the people rejoiced in greatly. I will\nspeak of that also. That was in war. When they went to war and came near\nthe enemies' dwellings and saw the enemy there they would choose out\nabout ten of the bravest young men and dispatch them to kill some of the\nenemy. Then they would draw near to the houses, and soon though there\nmight be five whose hearts were not able for it, the others would go on\nand kill a man at his house. And the great joy that I spoke of was thus:\nof the five who had killed an enemy but only four of them could take the\nglory, but their names would be praised throughout the whole Indian\nnation; they would be glorified and considered as chiefs. But most of\nall, he who first killed the enemy he would be the chief. And then when\nthey had returned home even the women would rejoice greatly. They would\ndance night and day, all of them. And as I, myself, was chief, I\nconsidered this the very greatest joy. Such were our customs.\n\nBut now from the place I now occupy, I look back and remember these\nthings. And though the Indian people had all of these customs, I know\nnot one of them that made the people prosper or brought life to them. I\nhave not seen that brought life to the people. And thus from where I am\nnow, I am always looking to the future. On this account I am looking\nforward. The Indians have been told the words of the Grandfather, (the\nPresident). And they tell us that by these words the people will\nprosper.\n\n\"Plant; by that you shall live,\" the Grandfather told them. And now I\nknow a little that the Grandfather spoke the truth. The Grandfather\ngives me food for six days, but even though I eat a very little each\nday, in three days I have eaten it all up. But now I have raised corn\nand though I abide here eating nothing else, by it I live. And also to\ngo from my place to where the Grandfather gives me rations takes one\nweek to go and the same to come back and I stay over a few days to rest\nwhen there, and so it altogether covers over three weeks or more.\nTherefore, though I have settled here and desire to busy myself in all\nthe white man's ways that I am able, I have not yet become independent.\nAnd therefore, I earnestly wish, if it were possible, that the\nGrandfather would enable us to receive a year's rations at a time, and\nthen we would make speedy progress in the white man's way.\n\nAnd because of this also, the children do not advance much in their\nlearning. For when we go after the food they also go along. If they\nshould stay behind, food is scarce, therefore they go along.\n\nAnd now I hear it said that schooling in the Dakota language is to be\naltogether stopped, and on this account I am sad. For in the\nschool-house here they learn well and also they pray. It is because they\ndo these things in the Dakota language that we have been brought to\nunderstand them and to love them, and gladly live in accordance with\nthem. Then also if it was all done (the teaching and praying) by a white\nman we would understand nothing about it, and so I do not think it would\nbe well.\n\nAnd now this is the last thing I want to say. The Grandfather has for\nhis own the Indians all over the land, and he always helps them\naccording to what may be for their welfare. Now he is measuring off the\nland for them, but I hear it said that he measures it very, very small,\nand I am sad about that. If only he would have mercy and measure it off\nfor them largely, that is what I think. A good while ago the Grandfather\nmade a treaty with the Indians and promised to give them three hundred\nand twenty acres, and according to that I have chosen my homestead and\nthat suits me. Therefore I prize the Grandfather's word and measure\nmyself by it. And thus I possess myself and my children.\n\nAlthough we are not many people here, yet I always command them to give\nheed to the words of the Grandfather. And I bear witness to their\nconstant attendance at the house (the school and church) that stands\nhere. Although I am wholly an Indian, yet these are my judgments and so\nI tell them. And I write them in order that some may think about the\nIndians. My friends, I wish you to hear these words and so I write them.\nI shake hands with a good heart.\n\nLOAFER REDHORSE.\n\nBurrell Station, Rosebud Agency, D.T.\n\n * * * * *\n\n\n\n\nBUREAU OF WOMAN'S WORK.\n\nMISS D.E.

She has just\ncompleted a missionary tour in Maine, which has been most fruitful of\ngood, and will now give a few weeks to the churches of New Hampshire,\nspeaking to meetings of ladies, or to mixed audiences, as may be\ndesired.

Cyrus Richardson,\nNashua, N.H.\n\nA teacher in the South writes:--\"We have had a Merry Christmas trying to\nmake others happy. The people have never done so much for others before.\nWe found an old couple in very destitute circumstances, and asked the\nschool children if they would not like to do something for them. It was\nvery interesting to see them bring their gifts of a little sugar, meal,\nflour, or an armful of wood, a potato, a little salt, whatever they\ncould get. It did them good. After our Christmas exercises at the\nchurch, we took quite a number of the children around to see the old\npeople, and they sang their Christmas songs. I don't know which enjoyed\nit most, the children or the old people.\n\nSome young men of the Sunday-school paid a month's rent for a poor\nwoman. We are doing more than ever this year in getting the young people\nto go and hold prayer meetings, or read to those who cannot get out to\nchurch.\"\n\n * * * * *\n\n\n\n\nFOR THE CHILDREN.\n\nHOW SUSY WENT TO TOUGALOO.\n\nYou never could guess just how she went, if you should try from now\nuntil your next birthday, so I'll tell you first how she came to go to\nTougaloo at all.\n\nTo begin with, Mamma Bradley had been rummaging about in the attic a\nlong time, when little Fay set out to find her.\n\n\"What are you doing up here, mamma?\" said Fay. \"I've been hunting for\nyou ever so long.\"\n\n\"Oh, I'm looking for some things to put in the barrel that is going to\nTougaloo for the poor people that the missionaries are working for.\"\n\n\"Clothes?\" said Fay.\n\n\"Yes, clothes, and I suppose they would be glad of almost anything that\nwould help to make their lives more comfortable,\" said her mother.\n\nFay sat down in an old basket and watched her mother fold and unfold the\ncontents of trunks and boxes so quietly, that Mrs. Bradley finally\nlooked up and said:\n\n\"Why don't you go to your play, dear? What are you thinking about?\"\n\n\"I was thinking,\" said Fay, \"do you s'pose the Tougaloo folks have any\nlittle girls?\"\n\n\"Oh, yes, plenty of them.\"\n\n\"Big's me?\"\n\n\"Yes, all sizes, I suppose,\" said Mrs. Bradley, going on with her work.\n\n\"Well,\" said Fay, \"I was thinking, how d'you s'pose they'd like Susy?\"\n\n\"What! the new dolly that Auntie gave you for keeping your elbows off\nthe table?\"\n\n\"Yes'm,\" said Fay. \"Do you s'pose she'd make a little Tougaloo girl's\nlife any more comfor'ble?\"\n\n\"Why, yes, dear, anything that gives you so much pleasure would please\nthem, of course,\" said her mother, \"but are you quite sure you want to\ngive Susy away?\"\n\n\"Well, when Auntie gave us our missionary boxes in the Sunday-school\nclass, she told us to be sure and remember what was printed on them, and\nshe read on one side something about people giving their first fruits,\nand she said it meant their best things, and on top it said, 'Inasmuch\nas ye have done it unto one of the least of these, ye have done it unto\nme.' Now Susy is my best doll--any way I love her best, and there\ncouldn't be anybody much leaster than a little girl like me way down in\nTougaloo, could there, mamma?\"\n\n\"Well, you must think it all over, and if you are quite sure that you\nwant to do it, we will take Susy down to the church this afternoon with\nthe other things,\" said her mother.\n\nFay said no more, and in a few minutes she tripped down stairs, and when\nher mamma followed soon after, she heard the creak of Fay's little\nrocking chair, and the words, \"Sleep, baby, sleep,\" which told her as\nshe peeped through a crack in the door, that Susy was getting her last\nlullaby from the fond little mother, who at the proper time presented\nSusy all dressed for her journey to Tougaloo.\n\n\"When Fay and her mother arrived at the church, sure enough right there\nin the parlor stood two or three barrels, while dear old Mrs. Rogers and\nhalf a dozen other ladies were filling them with useful articles.\n\n\"Here is a package of clothing,\" said Mrs. Bradley, \" and I have another\nbundle, which Dennis will bring from the carriage in a few minutes.\"\n\n\"And Susy's going to Tougaloo,\" said Fay, reaching out her treasure to\nGrandma Rogers as she spoke.\n\n\"Well now, the dear,\" said Grandma Rogers, \"don't you want her yourself,\nblossom?\"\n\n\"No'm, not now,\" said Fay, \"if you'll find a little girl who'll take\nreal good care of her--her name's 'Susy.'\"\n\n\"Well, did you ever!\" said Grandma Rogers. \" Here's jest the place for\nSusy, she can set right here in Miss Blout's bunnit as snug as a bug.\"\n\n\"Wait a minute, Mrs. Rogers,\" said Miss Bliss, and taking a pencil she\nwrote on a little slip of paper, \"My name is Susy, and I should like to\ngo to some little girl who will take good care of me.\" This she read and\npinned the slip on Susy's pretty dress when she was safely seated in\n\"Miss Blout's bunnit,\" in which odd carriage, made of roses and ribbons,\nSusy started on her long journey to Tougaloo. Her little mother, Fay,\nwould like some day to get a letter from Susy's new mother, though she\nhas not yet heard from her.\n\nFROM N.Y.
