LII. JUNE, 1898. NO. 2.\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nTHE FINANCIAL STATEMENT.\n\n\nThe outlook for the American Missionary Association while hopeful, yet\nappeals most earnestly for increased contributions. The debt has been\nsteadily reduced. At the Annual Meeting in 1895, it was reported to be\n$96,147. At the Annual Meeting in 1896 it was $66,572. At the last\nAnnual Meeting it was $54,945, and now at the close of eight months of\nthis fiscal year, May 31st, it is $39,527--a reduction from the\nhighest figure above of $56,620. This reduction is largely due to the\ncutting down of expenditures, which has now reached a limit beyond\nwhich no friends of these needy races would wish it to pass. For these\nlast eight months the total receipts show an increase of $25,800 in\nlegacies, and at the same time a decrease of $22,800 in collections.\n\nIn view of these facts the duty is plain. Further reductions should\nnot be made. The income from legacies is an uncertain quantity, and an\nincrease of contributions is the only hope that can be given. Better\ntimes are coming, the responsibility to the poor of our land is\nurgent, and the generous response of philanthropic and Christian\ngivers alone can meet the emergency.\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nSUCCESS IS COSTLY.\n\n\nWhen the early Abolitionists entered upon their contest against\nslavery, they found that they had no holiday business on hand. Some\nfaltered, but others grew stronger as they realized the greatness of\nthe conflict before them. They saw that their warfare would cost much\nin reputation, money, and even life itself. They succeeded, but only\nbecause they were willing to pay the cost.\n\nWhen the next form of the conflict came--the terrible Civil War--the\ncost was so great as to be without a parallel in human history. That\ngreat cost was paid and success was won--a crowning success that\ncould only come because the full cost was paid. And now the third part\nof the struggle confronts us--the redemption of the millions of blacks\nstill in the bondage of poverty, ignorance and vice. This is the\nculmination of these past conflicts. If this be not successful, the\nrest has been in part in vain. Four millions of slaves were freed, and\nnow four millions of their descendants are as helpless and hopeless as\nthey--as great a curse to themselves and as dangerous an element to\nthe nation. Now this great and crowning struggle is upon us. Other\ninterests may for a time hide it from view, but it must be met, and\nhere again, only that which costs will win. It is to be hoped that\nprosperity will return and make it easier to raise the needed funds.\nBut continued depression will not hinder, for, as in the past, so\nhere, self-denial and self-sacrifice will bear the burden which God\nhas imposed, and the result will be success. Our appeal, therefore,\nfor aid in this great conflict is not based on a mere hope of a better\nfinancial outlook in the nation, but on the consecration and\nbenevolence of those who are ready to win a success that costs.\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nWAR AND ITS RESULTS.\n\n\nIf war is simply to kill people and destroy property, it is an unmixed\ncalamity. But often there are great and valuable results. Our War of\nIndependence gave birth to this nation and to its amazing\npossibilities. The civil war confirmed the unity of the nation and\nwiped away the blot and curse of slavery. The present war with Spain\nis waged for the humane purpose of delivering Cuba, our near neighbor,\nfrom manifold forms of oppression, crippling its life, hindering its\nindustries and impoverishing its people. It is earnestly to be hoped\nthat the results of the struggle will secure deliverance from these\nevils.\n\nOther blessings are already beginning to be realized. The war unites\nthe North and the South as they have not been for thirty years. Our\ndiverse peoples are united in enthusiasm under a common flag. The\ncolored people of the country invited to join the armies are yet in\nsome portions of the country received coldly or even with taunts and\nabuse. But they bear it all cheerfully, devoting themselves to the\ninterests of our common country. Two brief extracts from papers edited\nand published by colored men give evidence of their patriotism and\nforbearance under these trials.\n\nFrom the _Fisk Herald_, Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn.:\n\n\"The duty of the colored citizens of America in the impending conflict\nbetween our country and Spain is clear, and we are exceedingly glad to\nnote that they are eager to go to the front to uphold the United\nStates in its just demands upon Spain for the freedom of Cuba. No\npeople ought to sympathize more with the oppressed than the negroes of\nAmerica.\"\n\nFrom the _Christian Recorder_ of the A. M. E. Church:\n\n\"At all times the colored citizens of this country have proven loyal\nto the Government, and while they smart under the unjust treatment\naccorded them here, at no time and under no circumstances have they\nshown a lack of patriotism when the conditions demand it.\n\n\"In the present crisis the colored citizens are maintaining their past\nrecord for loyalty and devotion, and though our soldiers of color have\nbeen insulted and subjected to great indignities while on their way to\ndefend their country, still their patriotism is not lessened nor their\nardor cooled.\"\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nTHE COLORED PEOPLES OF CUBA.\n\n\nWe understand that about a half a million of the people of Cuba are\nNegro or mulatto, making nearly one-third of the population, and we\nlearn that there is no such race antagonism between these Negroes and\nthe Creoles as there is with us. The Maceos, who are among the finest\nspecimens of patriotic manhood on the island, are mulattoes. If now,\nCuba should be made free and become a part of these United States,\nthese colored people would claim the sympathies and services of the\nAmerican Missionary Association in giving to them those educational\nand religious advantages so promptly and freely given to the\nemancipated blacks of our own land. Such a service would bind these\ntwo peoples together and aid in uplifting both to the intelligence and\nprivileges of free Christian citizens.\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nMISSIONARIES MURDERED IN WEST AFRICA.\n\n\nIt is with heartfelt sorrow that we chronicle the murder of six\nmissionaries in West Africa. They were sent by the Society of United\nBrethren in Christ, whose central office is in Dayton, O., and which\nhas for many years carried forward very successful work in the Sherbro\ncountry, Sierra Leone, West Africa. This mission was contiguous to the\nMendi Mission, founded by the A. M. A., and worked with it in\nChristian harmony and fellowship. When the Association retired from\nforeign mission work, the Mendi Mission was turned over to the Sherbro\nMission, and aid was furnished for a time with funds from our board.\n\nThe slaughter of these devoted missionaries was brought about in\nconsequence of a tax on houses or huts imposed by the Sierra Leone\ngovernment. The savage people in the remoter districts pushed forward\na resistance to this tax, and, confounding all white men and women\ntogether as responsible, committed these murders and destroyed mission\nproperty. Redress may come for property destroyed and other\nmissionaries may take the place of those who have fallen, but we mourn\nfor those who have been martyrs in the cause of the Master.\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nWORKING, THINKING, WRITING.\n\n\nTo _print_ a newspaper, though it be a small one, requires dexterous\nhand work. To _publish_ such a paper demands business gifts to secure\nmeans and to plan the work. To _edit_ such a paper calls for readable\nand racy writing. Few forms of business require a greater variety of\nmanual, skilful and facile ability. For these reasons we are glad to\nfind that in nearly all our larger schools in the South, monthly\npapers are printed and published--with little or no expense to the\nAssociation. The printing office teaches a useful and profitable trade\nto the student, the editing is usually done by the professors and\nstudents, and the publishing is managed so that by the aid of\nadvertising and paid subscriptions, the expense is mainly met. These\nperiodicals contain much valuable information. The professors\ncontribute well-written papers, the students furnish articles or\ncopies of orations or essays delivered on public occasions, and the\ngraduates write sketches of their life struggles and successes since\nleaving the institutions. Well selected items from the world outside\nenrich these pages, and brief, personal paragraphs give varied and\nuseful local information. We present below a partial list of these\npublications, giving their name, place of publication, size, etc.\n\nTHE FISK HERALD, published by the literary societies of Fisk\nUniversity, Nashville, Tenn., is a pamphlet of 24 pages, with an\neditor-in-chief and assistants selected from the students.

BEARD.\n\n\nIt is my lot on the routes of less frequented travel to fall in with a\nclass of my fellowmen distinctively known as \"Commercial men.\" It is\ntheir business to be both inquisitive and communicative. While waiting\nat some little tavern or railroad station often the right hand of\nfellowship has been extended to me with the question \"What is your\nline?\" or \"I see you have no trunks, how do you carry your samples?\"\nThey do not always quite understand \"our line\" when I tell them that\nour samples have learned to carry themselves and even to carry others.\nThen I am called to explain how they began their intelligent life with\nus, how we took the raw material and in process of time sent out our\nproducts from our schools and institutions with their thought of life\nwidened, with enlarged mental vision and the great majority of them\nwith hopeful religious characters and purposes. Sometimes these fellow\ntravelers hear, and sometimes I marvel because of their unbelief. If\nour readers could see our samples as we see them in their varied\nvocations and places they would not soon forget them.\n\nNot long since in Alabama I came across certain ones which are types;\nand as types I present them. The environment which conditions their\nwork and gives the color of it must needs be included. Situated among\nthe hills of Eastern Alabama is a thickly settled community of people\nabout two-thirds of whom are colored. It is in the County of Elmore,\nand bears the Indian name of Kowaliga. Being near the corner of two\nadjoining counties, it is a rural centre from which large numbers of\nchildren can be reached who ought to be educated, and who are anxious\nto \"get an education\" as their one chance in life, a chance which so\nfar has been beyond them.\n\nKowaliga settlement is remote from any railroad and consists wholly of\nplantations. These plantations were formerly tilled by slaves, but\nsince freedom came to those who gave their unrequited labor, the rich\nwhite planters have become poor and many of their sons now may be seen\nthemselves following their plows, tilling the fields and driving mules\ninstead of men. The country is fertile and repays intelligent tillage.\n\nThe American Missionary Association has been applied to repeatedly for\nhelp in this settlement of Kowaliga. Under the lead of two young\ncollege graduates, both of whom I had met while they were students at\nFisk University, the colored people with great sacrifice had\ncontributed building material and labor in the construction of a very\nsubstantial two-story building with attic and basement, which,\nhowever, is yet incomplete and unfurnished. The people with few\nexceptions, are extremely poor and very ignorant, and have an\nimperfect idea of what a school means with its proper appointments and\nteachers.\n\n[Illustration: KOWALIGA INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.]\n\nIn answer to the most urgent appeals of the two young educators, I\narranged in my recent journeying in the South for a personal\ninvestigation. One of the former student acquaintances came for me in\nhis \"one horse shay\" and with him as my courier and companion I rode\nthrough this rural district. I found that the white farmers are\ngradually leaving their plantations while the colored people are as\ngradually becoming land owners. Abandoned farms, which through poor\nculture have not paid the farmers for cultivation, can easily be\nsecured by industrious colored people who are willing to deny\nthemselves and work hard for an independent start in life.\n\nThe father of the young man whom I accompanied on my long ride through\nthe country is one of these who has already won his success. His\nexperience and achievement are typical in illustrating the trends and\nthe probabilities.\n\nMr. J. A. Benson--at this present time forty-six years of age--was\nborn a slave three miles from the great plantation which he now owns.\nWhen his owner's estate was divided he was a part of the property\nwhich fell to an heir in Talladega, Alabama. There as property he was\nsent, and there he worked as a slave until emancipation came. At the\nage of nineteen years, with a hundred dollars saved from his earnings\nas a free man he returned to his birthplace and purchased on credit\n160 acres of land. His first year of crops gave him a handsome profit\nand soon he was able to pay for this land. Again he bought land, and\nagain more year by year. Now I found him with his new house of twelve\nrooms nearly completed on the site of his old one, the construction of\nwhich was under the direction of a Negro contractor whose leading\nworkman was a white man; a native of that same community. The mason\nwho did the masonry was also a Southern white man. While engaged on\nthis \"job\" both white men ate at the same table with the owner. In the\n\"Merchant of Venice\" we read of one who said, \"I will buy with you,\nsell with you, talk with you, walk with you and so following, but I\nwill not eat with you.\" Nevertheless there are times when \"Necessity\nknows no law\" and this was one of the times. It was the common\nopinion, however, that the excellent mason was much more expeditious\nthan is common about his job, though he was working by the day. His\nwork was completed in about one-half the usual time allowed for it. He\nstayed, not upon the order of his going. Doubtless a second experience\nwould come with less self conquest than the first.\n\nMr. Benson began his independent life with his unpaid farm of 160\nacres. Now he owns 3,000 acres of land paid for and without\nencumbrance, with the virtual ownership of a fine stream, at some\npoints 500 feet wide, which for five miles runs through his extensive\nplantations. On this stream he has a brick yard, a saw mill, a grist\nmill and a cotton gin and compressing mill combined in one and\noperated by the water of this stream. The farm is worked on shares\nchiefly, the owner furnishing the land and the stock, the laborers\ndividing the products half and half.\n\n[Illustration: KOWALIGA CREEK--THROUGH MR. BENSON'S PLANTATIONS.]\n\nThe leases are taken by a dozen responsible and experienced farmers,\nwho sub-contract with the laborers under their immediate supervision.\nOf the 3,000 acres, one-half is devoted to corn, cotton, cane, etc.;\n500 are used for pasturage and 1,000 furnish ample supply of pine, oak\nand hickory timber for the greedy teeth of his saw mill and the\nwilling embrace of his planing mill. He has cows, cattle, mules,\nhorses, barns and farm implements to meet all necessities. His teams\ngo regularly to Montgomery markets and return with stores for the\nforty families who live upon his lands and work them, and for the\ncommunity who purchase of him what things they have. Besides his\npossessions in land, Mr. Benson has been able to loan to his white\nneighbors some $6,000, which are secured by mortgages upon their\nfarms. They are running behind and he is running ahead. While I was\nthe guest of this man, opposite me at the table dined a white man who\nwas engaged on the carpentry of the new house. He was a native\nSoutherner but he showed no evidence of social injury, and if he did\nhis carpentry work as thoroughly as he did that of the table he\ncertainly earned his wages.\n\nMr. Benson has managed with his uncommon ability to pick up education\nenough to achieve and handle successfully and shrewdly these large\ninterests; not only to know their details but also to realize their\nsignificance and somewhat of the larger world beyond his own\ndominions. The success of this self-made colored man may be somewhat\nexceptional in degree, but it is not at all phenomenal. The story with\nthe variations of personality and place could be told a hundred times\nover among the colored people who began thirty years ago without a\nfoot of land or a dollar of money.\n\nAmong the colored people in this rural community this man is one. For\nthe most part life has gone on for the others without much\nadvancement. They have not been left without a certain kind of school\nfor their children taught for three months out of twelve chiefly by\nstudents who are themselves getting an education in institutions\nsustained by Northern benevolence; but the teaching has been without\ncontinuity and insufficient to make much impress on character. This\nfar-seeing colored man realized this, and his own influence in life\nmight have been greater if chances had come to him in his earlier\ndays. He has, therefore, given his son a liberal education at college\nand has daughters now in the same path.\n\nWhen the young man returned from his studies with Christian love in\nhis heart to assist his father in business he took in the situation\nthat there must be a school here commensurate with the needs, where\nthe colored boys and girls might receive the blessings of an education\nlarge and thorough enough and of such a positive Christian quality as\nshould change the life of the community. In some aspects it sadly\nneeds radical change.\n\nHe called to his side one of his mates at Fisk University--a graduate\nof the college department--under the conviction that for such work as\nthis there was a call for a thorough as well as a technical education;\nthat there must be breadth of mental knowledge and mental vision as\nwell as skill of hand. The young college man with his diploma in his\npocket heard the call, as scores of samples from our institutions in\nour great system of schools are hearing theirs every year; and when\nonce there these two young men began what is to be the KOWALIGA\nACADEMIC AND INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL. They each had taken industrial\ntraining enough with their studies to know what they were about. They\nsought good counsel from others and thus the main school building was\nbegun. Mr. Benson, the father, furnished a sufficient allotment of\nland for the site, the timber and the lumber which his mills sawed and\nplaned, and which his teams carted. The Samples supervised and the\nyoung people and old wrought with their own hands. Generous friends\nfrom the North lent their names to the undertaking and from and\nthrough them contributions came in amounts sufficient to encourage but\nnot large enough to complete. From these were named an advisory board\nof friends who with an equal number of colored people in the\nneighborhood were called trustees.\n\nThese are the conditions in which I introduce our Samples. It was at\nthis stage of the proceedings when these children of the American\nMissionary Association called to us for the second and third time,\n\"Come over and help us.\" We came, we saw, and they conquered. How\ncould we do other than honor their faith and patience with our \"watch\nand care,\" and with a little faith on our part that help enough would\ncome to us to make their own helpfulness successful. Here in the\ndarkness these light bearers will give light and save life and they\nwill do this better because light has been given to them and they\nthemselves have been saved.\n\n[Illustration: PROF.

Our\npicture would be out of perspective, however, should it lead any to\nthe conclusion that this typical illustration of conditions and work\nis other than a sample in itself. Let it be known that this is what is\ngoing on in the work of the American Missionary Association constantly\nyear by year, every year, as it reduplicates itself in every State of\nthe South.\n\nAbove ten thousand of these Samples are examples. They have taken the\ntorches lighted at our fires and have borne the light of their\nknowledge on to others in darkness. They are doing it this year. They\nwill do it next year. There are entire counties in the South in which\nour schools have supplied nine-tenths of all the colored teachers.\nThese teachers, graduates of Normal Schools and higher institutions,\nare good samples, making full proof of their enlarged powers in the\nChristian upbuilding of their own race. The man who thinks leads.\n\nSamples, also, in strong ministers of Christ, good and true, who are\nin \"our line,\" planting little churches and developing little churches\ninto larger ones, bringing dependent churches forward into\nself-support, and leading the colored people out and away from\nold-time superstition and evil ways into the pure life of intelligent\nfaith.\n\n[Illustration: PROF. JAMES L. MURRAY.\n\nBorn a slave. Educated by his own endeavors. Taught his way through\nCollege. Was graduated at Fisk University. Principal of the Albany\nNormal School, A. M. A. A Sample.]\n\nIn the more conspicuous places of life we find our Samples. Some of\ntheir \"examples\" are already on the shelves of science in our\nlibraries, and are hanging in honor in the galleries of art. Not a few\nof our graduates fill Professors' chairs. Many are already teachers of\nteachers. They believe that the Negro has intellect as well as hands.\nThey believe in the development of manhood and womanhood along all\nlines, and do not believe that an elementary education for an\nelementary people is enough to save a race. They have been taught in\nour schools that our thought of education is that the knowledge which\nis of most worth \"is that which stands in closet relation to the\nhighest forms of the activity of the spirit created in the image of\nHim who holds nature and man and life alike in the hollow of His\nhand.\" Our idea of the educational process is that it is vital and not\nmerely technical; that it is indeed but another name for the unfolding\nand growth of the human spirit. It has not, therefore, been along a\nsingle line of material helpfulness, and its ends are not reached with\nmere technical skill.\n\nOur supreme purpose is \"to give light and to save life,\" but we have\nnever tried to save disembodied spirits. We have written Christianity\nlarge over and in all of our work in the school rooms, in the manual\ntraining shops, in the farm instruction, because we are sure there is\nno recuperative energy in the colored race, nor in any other,\nsufficient to save itself. There is nothing so practical to uplift men\nor races as Christianity. Said Archdeacon Tiffany the other day at\nYale, \"A prevailing idea is, to create an environment is to develop\nChristian life. Put people in the right places and they will be all\nright, a statement, however, which experience has denied from the\nGarden of Eden until now. Environment is a great factor but it does\nnot furnish the life impulse. Recognize the help of environment but do\nnot depend on it. How often environment does not make character but\nmay retard it.\" Our work strikes its roots far deeper than in\nexternals. Nevertheless, Christianity assumes intelligence and depends\nupon it. With Christian character and intelligence we hear the call\nfor technical skill and provide for it in our industrial annexes side\nby side with our work in mental development. Hence you will find the\nSamples \"in our line\" as easily as a commercial traveler finds the\nstores which handle his goods.\n\n[Illustration: INDUSTRIAL ROOM, ORANGE PARK, FLA. A SAMPLE.]\n\nWe have industrial samples also in educated farmers, architects,\ncarpenters, masons, contractors, merchants and bankers, who in the\nindustrial competitions of life are proving the mettle of their\npasture in the fields where they were fed and trained. While we were\nteaching them first of all to be larger and better in mind, stronger\nin heart and will, teaching them to have a large and intelligent faith\nin God, and an honest following of Christ, we have taught them at the\nsame time how to till the soil wisely, how to excel in the trades, how\nto keep their accounts accurately and how to have accounts to keep. We\nwould like to have the great American Missionary Association\nconstituency see these samples as we have seen them and do see them,\nnot alone in pulpits, in schools and on farms and in trades, but also\nin commercial life and in places of extended influence. We should like\nto show our Samples in their Christian homes, homes which are not made\nof brick and mortar and boards and shingles, but which are only\nsheltered by these; homes where there is educated intelligence, where\nthere are books and thoughtful minds that can appreciate them; homes\nwhere there is refinement, and where samples are examples of exalted\nlife which in itself stimulates and uplifts life all around--these are\ncentres of untold good. The light streams out from them day by day.\nThey are the leaven of a rising race. I go not anywhere in towns or in\nrural places in any Southern state where I fail to find such samples\nand examples which in their various ways are thus holding forth the\nword of life and justifying the farsighted wisdom and benevolence\nwhich planted the system of American Missionary schools upon \"our\nline\" and which in sustaining them is building up the Kingdom of God\non the Master's line as it builds up thousands of men and women\ntowards the mind and heart of God.\n\n[Illustration: COLLEGE GRADUATES.

In our great system of schools one may look into thousands of\nsuch earnest faces turned inquiringly toward the twentieth century.\nWhat the coming days shall hold for them and through them for the\nkingdom of Christ is in good part to be answered in positive Christian\nschools, where character building is made the supreme foundation for\nfuture homes and opportunities. These \"children's children\" began\ntheir climbing on a higher round than did their parents, and there are\nmore of them to climb--\n\n    \"More and more, more and more,\n    Still there's more to follow.\"\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nCOMMENCEMENT AT STRAIGHT UNIVERSITY, LA.\n\nBY REV. G. W. HENDERSON, D.D.\n\n\nOur school year, which closed May 25, has been crucial in many\nrespects. It has tested the attachment of the scholars to the school\non one hand, and their desire for an education and the willingness of\nthemselves and of their parents to make sacrifices to this end on the\nother; for the fever and the rigid quarantine delayed the opening in\nthe fall, paralyzed business, and made it difficult for parents and\nstudents to earn the means not only to meet school expenses, but even\nto obtain the ordinary comforts of life. But, notwithstanding these\ndiscouragements, our old scholars remained loyal and patiently awaited\nthe opening, and the attendance has been good--that in the higher\ngrades coming up to the average figure. How much solicitude, earnest\nplanning and brave self-sacrifice all this involved no one who has not\nlived in the midst of the people can realize; no one but the\nAll-Knowing can understand.\n\nThe list of our various exercises is somewhat long, yet each\nrepresents some special department of our work, or is a manifestation\nof some special form of its manifold activities, and for this reason\ncannot fail to be of interest to our readers.\n\nJunior Exhibition, May 4, was the first exercise on the program; two\nweeks later came the Recital by the Department of Instrumental Music.\nThe Address, Sunday morning, May 22d, to the Christian Associations by\nRev. J. M. Loring, D.D., of this city, and the Baccalaureate, Sunday\nnight, by President Atwood, were both greatly enjoyed by the large\naudiences that came to hear.\n\nA feature of growing power and usefulness is the Sumner and Alpha\nLiterary Societies, whose anniversary is always an occasion of great\ninterest. The able and eloquent address this year was given by Rev. L.\nH. Reynolds, D.D., the successful pastor of the leading African\nMethodist Church in this city. He made his auditors feel that, though\ntheir lot had many hardships, it also had many compensating\nadvantages, and that to the educated and consecrated youth of the race\nthe field for usefulness and distinction was large and inviting.\n\nThe Class Day Exercise, Monday night, came up in point of interest and\nattraction to the usual high standard. The Grammar Department had the\nright of way Tuesday 1 P. M. Certificates admitting them to the Normal\nand College Preparatory Departments were given to forty-two bright\nboys and girls. And truly, the boys in their neat fitting suits and\nthe girls in their white gowns presented a beautiful sight. The\nhistory of their efforts to reach this landmark in their educational\nlife is full of pathos and romance. Observe that girl sitting yonder\non the right. Her happy face glows with the interest of the occasion;\nher dress is neat and cleanly. Yet that girl left the washroom or\nlaundry when she came to school this morning, and will return to it\nwhen the school day closes. Back from the street and enclosed by\nlarger buildings and shut out from the blessed sunlight and pure air\nis the house she calls her home. She is the oldest of five or six\nchildren. The hard worked mother, who seldom leaves the wash-tub\nexcept to retire to her weary couch, is only able to keep this girl in\nschool by the most rigid economy and self-denial, and when she has\nfinished her course, then by her help the others may have a chance.\n\nThis is one of many cases which the kind and faithful teacher has\ndiscovered among her scholars. The lesson of it is that the race which\nhas such mothers, so patient, so self-sacrificing, is sure to rise,\nand is worth taking some stock in by the friends of Christian\nmissions; nor need we be surprised to learn that out of a colored\nvoting population of 120,000 in Louisiana, nearly 39,000 have acquired\nwithin thirty-five years the ability to read and write.\n\nThe Alumni Association held their annual meeting Tuesday night and\nlistened to a bright oration by Miss Annie Feyer, class '97.\n\nAnd now let us look at the last scene in this drama of the closing\nyear at Central Church. It is the old story--old yet new and fresh in\nits human element and its deep significance--of a packed house, and of\nan attention so fixed and earnest that naught is heard during the\ndelivery of the pieces, though hundreds are standing, save the beating\nof fifteen hundred fans against the warm air, and the clear\nenunciation of the speakers, and the hearty, yet discriminating\napplause.\n\nThe various subjects treated reveal, as usual, interesting traits in\nthe characters of the speakers, some breathing aspirations after a\nlarger liberty, and a more rational conception of it, some revealing a\ndeep consciousness of life's noble obligations and splendid\nopportunities, some insisting on independence of mind as the basis of\ntrue manhood. The graduate from the department of theology pleaded for\ncharacter in the ministry to the manifest satisfaction of the\naudience. Here and there were heard echoes of the troubled past, some\nsensitiveness to present hardships was manifested, but the prevailing\ntone was a willingness to take hold of life bravely and seriously, to\nredress the wrong and to glorify the right.\n\nIn beholding these ten graduates--six from the normal course, three\nfrom the college preparatory and one from the theological--one could\nnot but compare the present with the not distant past, and rejoice in\nthe compensations of prudence. The proud father of one of the girls\nwho sat in the audience was once the body servant of Jefferson Davis.\nThe mother of one of the boys who acquitted himself with more than\nusual ability came forward at the close of the exercises and looked\nhim in the face for several moments, too utterly happy to speak a\nword.\n\nThe exhibits of the industrial department as well as the work of the\ngrades, notwithstanding the shortness of the year, showed no sacrifice\nof quality.\n\nThus, in spite of many adverse circumstances, the year has been one of\nsignal blessing in all the departments; the religious life was never\nsweeter or more earnest, the school was never more thoroughly\ndominated by Christian motives and principles. President Atwood may\njustly felicitate himself and his co-workers upon the good results\nobtained.\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nCOMMENCEMENT AT TOUGALOO UNIVERSITY, MISS.\n\nBY PRESIDENT FRANK G. WOODWORTH, D.D.\n\n\nThe commencement exercises on May 19th closed one of the most\nmemorable years in the history of the institution. Quarantine delayed\nthe opening of the year until November 23d, and on the next night the\ngirls' dormitory was destroyed by fire. These two things greatly\nreduced the attendance, and of course the fire entailed a great many\ninconveniences. The school has gone bravely on, however, and the year\nis now looked back upon as one of the most satisfactory in work and\ngeneral results that has been seen. Students and teachers have labored\nwith unusual diligence, crowding nearly the full work of the usual\nschool year into six months.\n\nThe year has been signalized by having a Freshman class, the first to\nenter on college work. Four students have successfully completed the\nyear, and another class of the same size or larger is expected for\nnext year.\n\nThe president preached the Baccalaureate sermon from Gen. 5:24. All\nthe graduates are Christians; all but two of the Academy, and\nthree-fourths of the grammar pupils of the year have been Christians.\n\nThe annual concert always attracts much attention, and it has been a\nproblem what to do with the large crowds who attend. This year a\ncomplimentary rehearsal was given on Monday evening to which friends\nfrom Jackson were invited, a special train coming out on their behalf.\nOn Wednesday evening was the regular concert, and the room was again\ncrowded. A general program of fine selections was rendered, followed\nby Rheinberger's \"Clarice of Eberstein.\" Tougaloo's musical work is of\nthe highest order. At the graduating exercises on Thursday, nine young\npeople received diplomas of graduation from the Academy courses, five\nof them young women. Four of the class expect to return for college\nwork, one to go on to college elsewhere, one to study medicine, one is\ntaking nurse training in a Chicago hospital, and the others expect to\nteach. The spirit in which they go out is exemplified in the answer\nmade by one of them to the question, \"What will you do if you fail to\nget a school to teach this summer?\" \"Do what I can find. Dig, if need\nbe.\" A very similar answer was given by one of the most advanced young\nwomen, except she said \"Hoe corn or cotton\" instead of \"dig.\" The\nhigher education will hurt none who have that spirit.\n\nThe annual address was delivered by President Barrett of the Jackson\nCollege, and was a most helpful and stimulating utterance on the\n\"Value of Purpose.\" Brief addresses were made by prominent visitors,\namong them several pastors of the white churches in Jackson, the\nprincipal of the city schools, and Col. Charles E. Hooker, for many\nyears congressman from this district. His address was specially\ninteresting in the strong feeling of sympathy which it exhibited for\nthe work of Tougaloo and similar schools, coming as it did from a\npublic man of such prominence, of a slave-holding family and himself a\nformer slave owner.\n\nThe industrial exhibit in one of the school rooms attracted very large\nattention. It covered needle work, cookery, nurse-training, wood and\niron work, agriculture, and there was also a fine botanical exhibit.\nWhile the manual training work has always made a fine appearance, it\nwas felt that this exhibit surpassed all that had preceded it. The\nsteel tools, made and tempered by students, were specially admired.\n\nIt was matter of special gratulation that the work of excavation for\nthe foundation of the new dormitory, delayed because the Association\nbuilder was elsewhere occupied, was well advanced. It is hoped that\nthe building will be nearing completion when the term begins on\nSeptember 28th next.\n\nIt is sometimes said that colored students show little gratitude for\nwhat aid is given to them. Many instances to the contrary are\ncontinually occurring. One of the graduates of this year, a young\nwoman, left a note for the president to be read by him after she had\ngone, which shows so much in several ways that a portion of it may\nwell be quoted here. \"Since I have been coming to Tougaloo, I have had\nquite a little help. Although it was a blessing from God, you are the\nagent through whom it came. These few lines are to let you know that I\nappreciate and thank you for your kindness. I haven't gained as much\nas I would like to have done, yet I have this consolation, and it may\nbe encouraging to you, that I got as much as I could mentally,\nphysically and spiritually. Since my connection with this school, my\nknowledge has been increased, false ideas have been corrected, truths\nhave been established, life broadened, desires multiplied, faith in\nChrist increased, and I have been enabled to advance a few steps\ntoward my ideal. My greatest desire is to do as much for Christ as I\nmay among my fellow men.\" Who could show better results of education?\nDoes not aiding such a student pay?\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nDORCHESTER ACADEMY, MCINTOSH, GA.\n\nBY PROF. FREDERICK W. FOSTER.\n\n\nThe beginning of our Commencement Exercises occurred on Sunday\nmorning, May 15, when Rev. J. R. McLean, of Macon, preached an able\nand instructive sermon to our graduating class. The speaker made very\napt and telling application of his subject, which, while especially\ndirected to the graduates, was good for all.\n\nThe examinations in the various grades took place on Wednesday, 18th,\nlasting through the day. They gave evidence of good, thorough work on\nthe part of pupils and teachers, and that our school is moving upward\nall along the line. Much interest was manifested in the recitations\nand discussions by patrons and visiting friends. Although many of our\nvisitors were unlettered people, they showed that they could keenly\nappreciate whatever they saw that was good.\n\nA fine display of boys' and girls' clothing and quilts gave proof of\nthe diligence of teacher and pupils in the sewing and dressmaking\ndepartment, and of the progress made in that line both in the present\nand past years. A display of household furniture, including tables,\nstands, wash-stands, a side-board, hat racks and towel racks, showed\nwhat our boys' manual teacher and his boys have been doing. To this\nshould be added a neat fence, built by the boys in the lower grades.\nThe neatness and thoroughness of the work on the furniture greatly\nexceeds that of the same grade from a manufactory.\n\nBut our day of days came on Thursday, when a large audience from\nvarious parts of Southeastern Georgia assembled at our church to\nwitness the exercises of graduation. Although this is only our third\nexercise of this kind, it has already become one of the great annual\nevents of Liberty and neighboring counties. Notwithstanding the heat\nof the day and the dust, the church was packed by an audience of at\nleast six hundred. In thought, force and plainness of expression and\ndelivery, the orations of the young men were well up toward\n\"high-water mark.\" The subjects chosen were eminently of a practical\nnature, and were treated in a very practical and forceful way that\nwent right home to the understanding and appreciation of the hearers,\nas was manifested by the close attention that was evident on every\nhand. The music for the occasion was furnished by the Normal\ndepartment, assisted by the grammar grades, and consisted of\nwell-drilled choruses, a duet and a solo. The exercises closed with an\nappropriate address by the pastor, Rev. A. L. DeMond, and the\npresentation of the well-earned diplomas.\n\nIt should have been mentioned that, on Tuesday evening, a reception\nwas given by the teachers to the members of the graduating class and\nthe alumni, furnishing a very pleasant social occasion. On Thursday\nafternoon, the alumni of the school organized and held its first\nmeeting, consisting of literary exercises; and in the evening gave a\nreception to the teachers at a neighboring house, thus giving a\npleasant ending to the school year of 1897-8.\n\nIt has been a busy week and one filled with hard work, and moreover,\nsuch work as could not have been possible a very few years ago. A\ndiploma received now by a graduate means the completion of a\nfour-years' Normal course, and the work satisfactorily done.\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nCOLORED TEACHERS IN THE SOUTH.\n\nBY PROF. A. J. STEELE, MEMPHIS, TENN.\n\n\nA full generation has passed since the emancipation of the slaves in\nthe United States and since the avenues of knowledge were thrown open\nto the colored people through the doors of the school house. During\nthis time portions of three generations, parents, children and\ngrand-children, literally \"Children's children to the third\ngeneration,\" have, to a greater or less extent, availed themselves of\nthe tuition of the schools.\n\n[Illustration: CHILDREN'S CHILDREN.]\n\nDuring the first decade, and in regularly decreasing ratio since, the\nmost difficult problem has been how to provide competent teachers for\nthe instruction of a race crowding and hungry for knowledge.\nFortunately, perhaps, in the long view, the teaching of colored youth\nhas never, from the first, in the South, been considered a popular\ncalling, and so the work has in the main devolved upon the colored\npeople themselves, a work to which, for years, from almost entire lack\nof opportunity for training, they could bring but the scantiest\npreparation and even less experience.\n\nNo more interesting or suggestive study could be undertaken than that,\nof tracing the progress of the colored teachers of a race so recently\nemancipated, as they have advanced in literary, mental and moral\nfitness for a work thrust upon them by the exigencies of the\nsituation.\n\nReference to the tables of statistics compiled by the Commissioner of\nEducation for 1895-6 shows how well the race is meeting the demand for\nteachers in its schools, everywhere in the South kept separate from\nthe public schools for white children. For the year above mentioned\nthere were employed 26,499 colored teachers, who had under their care\n1,429,713 pupils. For the same year there were in the various Normal\nSchools for colored people 4,672 students, 966 of whom were graduated;\n826 were graduated from high schools and 161 from college courses,\nmaking in all 1,953 graduates from courses of study considered\nsufficient in extent to fit more or less thoroughly for the work of\nteaching; not to mention the even greater numbers who engage in\nteaching before having completed any higher course of training. So\nmuch as to mere numbers. Now, in general, as to the advancement being\nmade by schools of this class. Without exception, the reports of\nschool officers give credit for constantly increasing excellency and\nproficiency of both schools and teachers, and certain it is, that the\npublic appreciation and esteem is shown by an increasing patronage and\na more substantial provision for the improvement and support of the\nschools.\n\nIn particular, while it is not always safe to draw sweeping\nconclusions from facts gathered within a limited area of observation,\nit may yet be confidently asserted, that what is true of the schools\nand teachers of any fairly representative city or community in the\nSouth, is likely to be measurably true wherever similar conditions and\nopportunities prevail. My own direct experience and observation have\nhad to do with the colored schools and teachers of a single city of\nsixty to eighty thousand people, nearly one-half colored, and the\ncounties and towns adjacent. These I have followed very closely for\nover twenty-five years. I can testify positively that there has been a\nsteady raising of the standards of qualifications and proficiency with\nregard both to intellectual and moral attainments among the teachers\nof colored schools, and in this I shall be borne out by the testimony\nof superintendents and school officers, as well as by all observing\npeople of these communities. In many cases teachers and schools of\nthis class have attained an enviable reputation and are often\nmentioned as models of excellence in many ways.\n\nThe process of growth here, as elsewhere, has been one of the\n\"survival of the fittest,\" the ill-trained, inefficient teachers\ngradually giving place to the better qualified, more capable class.\nThe initial influence in this line of succession dates back but little\nmore than thirty years, to the founding of \"mission\" schools at\ncentres of influence throughout the South; \"a handful of corn on the\ntop of the mountain\" from which has come the wide-spreading harvests\nof the present. It is a statement well within the facts that nine out\nof ten of the colored schools of all grades in the South are taught by\nthose who had their training in these mission schools, or else by\nteachers who owe their education to those of their own race who were\nso trained. No more powerful or far-reaching influence was ever set in\noperation than that which had its origin in the cabin where taught the\nfirst humble missionary among the people freed by the war. The whole\npower and potency of all that has followed was represented in that\nfirst despised and humble effort.\n\nFrom that day to this seems a long call. The passage has been made\nalmost unobserved, like the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven. It now\nnot unfrequently happens that a colored public school stands\naccredited in a community with excellencies to distinguish it as an\nexample worthy of imitation. Such is the colored high school in the\ncity of my direct observation, in the two respects of self-control and\ngovernment of its pupils, and in its movement toward a collection of\nmiscellaneous books for a school library--excellencies not ascribed,\nso far as I know, in anything like the same measure to any other\npublic school. It is perhaps needless to add that the principal of\nthis school, as well as the teachers of a large percentage of the\nother best schools of the city and county, have had their training in\none of the \"mission\" normal schools above mentioned.\n\nTo remove or weaken these centres of power would be to strike the most\ndeadly blow at the education of the colored people. It would be the\nremoval of so many nerve centres out from which still flow the stimuli\nneedful to keep in active operation and growing power the entire\nsystem.\n\nJohn F. Slater and Daniel Hand and a hundred other individual\nbenefactors have seen this vital fact and have done what they could to\nbuild up and strengthen such influences. The church will make a great\nmistake if it ignores this fact or relaxes its efforts in the support\nof the institutions so wisely planned and so greatly efficient for\ngood in the past.\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nNOTES.\n\n\nCLOSING EXERCISES AT LE MOYNE.--Le Moyne Normal Institute, Memphis,\nTennessee, closed on the 2nd of June.

HENDERSON, D.D.\n\n\nAmong the young colored men who heard the call of God for the\nuplifting of their race was Mr. H----, whose home was in Arkansas.\nFrom the first, with him Christian faith meant Christian service, and\nhe at once became active in church and Sunday-school. Nature was\ngenerous to him in the saving gift of common sense, and he was not\nlong in perceiving the incompetency of the ministers to whom the\npeople at that time looked for religious instruction and leadership.\n\nA fortunate providence brought him into contact with a teacher from\nStraight University. The information she gave him of this institution\nopened the way to execute the purpose which he had been cherishing for\nsome time, to fit himself to become a missionary to his people in his\nown home. The loss of a leg at this time, through the carelessness of\nanother, instead of discouraging, strengthened his resolution.\nPenniless, like Booker Washington, he set out for this missionary seat\nof learning, his only resource, prayer, his only support, hope and\nfaith.\n\nOne bright morning, this brave Arkansas lad presented himself at\nStraight University. Hobbling up the walk to the main building, and\nassuming an air of confidence quite in contrast to his internal\nemotions, he hailed a passing student in the familiar vocabulary of\nthe plantation--\"Say, Sonny, is the Boss in?\" The \"Boss\" was in, and\non meeting this new candidate for academical honors, quite took away\nhis breath by addressing him as \"Mr.\" Such courtesy was a surprise and\na revelation to him. That he was somebody in the eyes of heaven was\nthe gracious revelation of his Christian faith; it now for the first\ntime dawned upon him that the recognition of his manhood was possible\non earth.\n\nEight years of earnest study followed, years full of happiness,\nbecause they were years of progress, of growing religious experience,\nof expanding intellectual and spiritual vision. The dream of his\nuncared for boyhood was in process of realization. He enjoyed the\nconfidence of teachers and scholars alike, for he was the soul of\nhonor, and his word was the word of truth. His vacations were spent in\nteaching in the common schools of Louisiana. Success always crowned\nhis efforts; his schools were usually full to overflowing. He taught\nin the Sunday-schools and made himself useful in every form of\nChristian service. On one occasion the school house was destroyed by\nfire, but nothing daunted, the enthusiastic teacher rallied the\nneighbors, and with them and the scholars he went into the woods,\nchopped down the trees, hewed the logs, and in a few days replaced the\nold building with a better, and the school went on more successfully\nthan ever.\n\nAnd so on till the end of his life, difficulties were faced bravely\nand successfully. With the assistance of friends, a cork leg took the\nplace of the pole which he had lashed to the stump of his lost limb.\nAfter completing the normal course, he took the usual course in\ntheology.\n\nOn Vermillion Bay, not far from the Gulf Coast, and at the terminus of\na branch of the Southern Pacific Railroad, about twenty miles from\nBayou Teche, the stream that keeps green and beautiful the year round\nthat section of Louisiana which was first settled by the exiled\nAcadians and made famous in Longfellow's \"Evangeline,\" is a thriving\nvillage. In the patois of the country the people are called \"Cajians,\"\na corruption of Acadians. As a rule, they are non-progressive and\nignorant. But the spirit of modern progress, brought in on the\nrailroad, is putting new life into old customs.\n\nIn this village just waking into its new life, a humble man of faith,\nin the year 1885, organized a Congregational church. The organizer of\nthis new church, having only a limited education, soon found himself\nat the end of his resources. The people were still hungry and still\nunfed. One plants, another waters. Unknown to the people, and in his\nown good way and time, God was preparing to answer their prayer for a\nshepherd who could lead them into the green pastures and by the side\nof quiet waters.\n\nThe Arkansas lad, proud of the possession of his normal and\ntheological diplomas, and now ready for service, was sent by the A. M.\nA. to this prosperous village in the beautiful Teche country. When Mr.\nH. arrived in the fading twilight of a June evening, and looked over\nthe situation--a rude, unfinished edifice, a scattered congregation,\nand a membership that had diminished almost to the vanishing\npoint--for the first time he began to have serious doubts whether\nafter all he had not mistaken his calling. After much searching, only\nten or twelve discouraged members could be found. Neither party was\nunduly impressed with the other. His doubt that he could do anything\nfor the church was probably fully respected by the members as they\nlooked him over and took his measure. The thoughts that came to him\nthat night as he lay upon his restless and dreamless pillow, were\ndecidedly Jonah-like. Nor were the means lacking to follow the example\nof that ancient prophet. Ships lay at anchor in Vermillion Bay ready\nto carry him out into the gulf and the great sea beyond. The question\nwhat he should eat and drink, and wherewithal he should be clothed,\nseemed to justify his flight. He was now learning that missionary\nservice is a fine thing to talk about in prayer meetings and\nmissionary gatherings, but that the reality often possesses a stern\nand forbidding countenance. Nor was much reflection needed to show him\nthat though the ships might take him away from the place of duty,\nthey could not take him away from duty itself; that it were better to\nbear poverty and privation than to bear a guilty conscience.\n\nIt is always darkest before day. In a few weeks an ordaining council\nhas assembled, his old pastor and theological teacher being among the\nnumber. The harvest was ripe, waiting for the reapers to put in the\nsickle, and what began as ecclesiastical council ended in a gracious\nrevival. The Arkansas lad was now a minister; the dream of his boyhood\nwas rapidly fulfilling.\n\nThree years and a half passed. The field which at first seemed so\nbarren of promises had proved to be rich in opportunities. The\nLouisiana Congregational Association holds its annual meeting with\nhim. His old pastor sends three other teachers. One of them, the wife\nof \"the Boss,\" returns with the other members of the ordaining council\nto see what progress has been made.\n\nYes, this must be the place; for the railroad stops here, and yonder\nis Vermillion Bay, and the anchored ships. This, too, must be the\nyoung pastor; his limp betrays his identity, but the face, whose pure\nnative hue three years ago was darkened by the cloud of doubt is now\nwreathed in smiles. Here, too, is the church, the same, yet not the\nsame; its former disfigured and unwashed face now shines in a new coat\nof paint; the unfinished and leaky bell-tower has been repaired and\nbeautified; and those old benches, apparently designed for those\ncondemned to do penance, have been replaced by comfortable modern\nseats, so that the worshipper's attention is no longer diverted from\nthe sermon by the painful consciousness of his physical sufferings.\n\nBut these changes, excellent in themselves, are by no means the\nhighest test of these years of faithful and consecrated service. The\ntwelve members with whom the new pastor began, have been nearly\nsextupled; the Sunday-school has been organized, enlarged and\ndeveloped; a flourishing Christian Endeavor Society started; and right\nconceptions of practical righteousness enforced. The pastor's\nconception of his ministry includes a practical interest in education,\nand since his advent an increasing stream of young people has been\nflowing to Straight University. Thrifty himself, his contagious\nenthusiasm has not only affected his own flock, but the community\ngenerally, filling them with ambition to save their humble earnings,\nand become owners of their own homes, and send their children to\nschool.\n\nThe esteem in which Mr. H. is held by the best white people of the\ntown was well illustrated at the recent meeting of the State\nAssociation. They not only crowded into the church, filling every\navailable space for standing, but stood outside at the windows for\nhours in earnest attention, in the chilly night air. So great had\ntheir interest become that the last night of the Association, one\nwhite man offered the pastor any price for a reserved seat for himself\nand lady friends, and the town representative wrote him a polite note\nasking for a seat for himself and family, and the next day the white\npeople offered to procure the courthouse, that we might have a larger\nplace for our meeting.\n\nNewspapers and magazines are teeming, nowadays, with articles claiming\nthat our people's supreme need is industrially trained men to indicate\nthe road to prosperity. We gladly concede that there is need enough\nand room enough for such men, but we part company with these advocates\nwhen they intimate that we have too many liberally educated men. The\nvalue of such well educated men may be seen in the example of Mr. H.,\nwho is only one of many young men who have gone forth from Straight\nUniversity and other A. M. A. institutions.\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nITEMS.\n\n\nPENALTY FOR LYNCHING.--The Legislature of Ohio has passed the\nAnti-Lynching amendment which makes it possible for the heirs of a\nperson lynched to sue the county in which the crime is committed for\nfrom $500 to $5,000. This is the right way to do. Every state in the\nUnion ought to be made to pay either one of these amounts. Why not let\nus agitate on these lines. The government can never find the\noffenders, but under this law they can find the county.--_The\nConservator of Chicago._\n\n\nTHE BLACK MILLIONAIRE ON HIS WAY.--Mr. T. Thomas Fortune, Editor of\nthe _New York Age_, one of the bright papers published by colored men,\nstated at a recent meeting that the race problem, instead of being\nsolved in the South, is being intensified by the present condition of\nthings. He deplored the fact of the black man being excluded by the\nlabor unions from earning an honest living, and, while the poor white\npeople are employed in mills and factories of the cities, the black\nman is left to till the soil. He is barred out from manual labor and\nin many cases must either \"starve or steal.\" This despised individual\nwho \"befo' de war,\" performed all the labor, is now hardly able to\nearn a living. Yet, for all that, Mr. Fortune is confident that in the\nfuture a \"monstrosity\" is coming. \"I may not live to see him, but the\nblack millionaire is on his way.\"\n\n\nTHE TRIUMPHANT DEATH OF A CHRISTIAN INDIAN.--\"It was my privilege to\nsee her very frequently in these last days and to be with the family\ncircle when she died. Whenever I intimated that my presence seemed\nlike an intrusion, poor Uncle Elias always said, 'No, I like to have\nyou here; it strengthens me.' And when I was not there, he sent to\nhave me come. It was just the sympathy he felt. He was sure of that,\nfor I loved her, too. Through it all Elias had been lovely, a constant\nwonder to me in the strength of his beautiful faith which never\nfaltered for a moment. Again and again in those last hours, his voice\nled in prayer as we stood around her bedside, and it seemed the\nspontaneous overflow of his soul. And in the accompanying hymn each\ntime, he also led. The last one which he gave out, only a few minutes\nbefore the faint breathing ceased, was 'Praise God--', the doxology,\n(as it is in the Dakota, of course). His faith triumphed over his\nsorrow for he knew she was going home to God. Only in that last prayer\nfrom his breaking heart, his voice trembled as he pleaded that God\nwould help him. Surely He has helped him wonderfully.\"\n\n\nFAMILY AFFECTION AMONG INDIANS.--I am impressed with the great degree\nof family affection in some cases. I know one young girl who would\nprofit much by going for several years to Santee. Her parents are past\nmiddle life, and have buried many sons, and Millie is their only\ndaughter, so naturally they cling most tenderly to her, and it seems\nto me most a necessity that the sacrifice should be made, and yet--I\nwish it could be different.\n\n\nSALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, FROM MRS. A. E. R. JONES, MISSIONARY TO THE\nCHINESE.--Since writing you last month I am happy to say that two of\nour pupils have entered Salt Lake College as students. They have\njoined the preparatory classes in arithmetic and grammar. It is a\ngreat step for them. We help them in our evening school in the lessons\nfor the next day.\n\nBut this encouragement is little in comparison with the great blessing\nthat has come to us. By God's grace we trust three persons have been\nled to Himself. These desire to be baptized next Sunday. It is no\nhasty act, but has been postponed for some time rather than to make\nhaste. We believe that their conversions are of the Lord and are true\nand genuine.\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nThe Indians.\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nNEW TYPE OF INDIAN UPRISING.\n\nREV. GEORGE W. REED, FORT YATES, N. D.\n\n\nThe missionaries' correspondence begins to bring inquiries concerning\nan Indian uprising. With the war news are mingled expressions of fear\nthat the Indians will be only too ready to seize upon the opportunity\nto avenge fancied wrongs. Most of the soldiers have been withdrawn\nfrom the frontier posts. In regard to the Sioux, those who know them\nbest have no fear. They recognize the progress made by them in the\nlast ten years. Too many of them have become followers of the Prince\nof Peace. These ten years of splendid school training have given us a\nnew type of young men and women, who have more of home love and who\nare beginning to think for themselves. The majority are no longer\nroused to action by the harangue of a petty chief. The day of the\nchief is rapidly passing away. The thinker and not the talker is\nbecoming the leader.\n\nThere must be convincing proof of a good cause and of beneficial\nresults before another Indian war is undertaken under the most\nfavorable circumstances. In territory there is nothing to be gained.\nThey cling tenaciously to what they have, but they are not grasping\nfor more, for they realize that their vast hunting grounds have been\nlost to them forever. The young men and women in going half across the\ncontinent to Carlisle and Hampton, being educated there and in summer\nhomes in the East, come back impressed with the largeness of the\ncountry, the prosperity and vast numerical superiority of the people.\nThey care not to war against so strong a foe.\n\nThere is an uprising of the Indians, however, which is being too\nslowly recognized. They are slowly but surely rising above\nsuperstition and ignorance, yes, even above indolence. The old roving,\nrestless, tramp-like spirit has not wholly disappeared. Some are still\nliving only a stomach level life, with apparently no thought of head\nor heart. The old Indian life is self-centered, hence selfish, ever\ngathering to itself, never giving out, hence stagnant, non-progressive.\n\nReligion has given the life a new center and indefinite breadth. The\nFatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man are truths which once\naccepted must change the whole life, and he who teaches them to an\nIndian becomes a friend and not an enemy, and becomes loved for what\nhe brings and not hated for what he has taken away. The Indian and the\nwhite man have gone into partnership in building churches. The Indian\nhas been giving liberally to missions outside of his own little land.\n\nThe progress in educational work has been marked in the last decade.\nToday every healthy boy and girl over six years of age is supposed to\nbe in school. More than half of these are for ten months of every year\nin a boarding school, well cared for, well fed, well instructed. To me\none of the greatest evidences of progress is that so many of them\nuncomplainingly--some eagerly--part with their young children during\nthese many months. The large majority of the parents have never\nattended school a day in their lives, yet they make this large\nsacrifice for the child's good. Ten years ago there was a dance house\nin nearly every village, and the senseless gyrations were in progress\nevery week. The larger portion of the two weeks' rations was given to\nthe dancer's feast, and the half fed children were the sufferers.\nToday there is not a dance house for the whole 90 miles along Grand\nRiver.\n\nTen years ago the first Indian returning with his bi-weekly rations\nwould invite his neighbors as they came home to help him eat in one\nday, often in one meal, all this food. For the remainder of the two\nweeks the family would be driven to live upon other feasts, or to the\nfields for the wild turnip, the few berries or the plum. If four or\nmore feasts were called daily, the feasts gave way to famine before\nthe coming ration day. Often a week of feasting, then a week of\nfamine, became the rule. This state of things is becoming more and\nmore a thing of the past. Hospitality is as marked, but is not\ncarried to starvation extremes. Recently passing some trees in which\ntwelve or more years ago seven bodies were placed, and contrasting\nthis with the last funeral I attended, impressed upon me progress in\nanother line.\n\nTen years ago last Jan. 12, a day made memorable by the great blizzard\nwhich swept over our land with death and destruction, in the early\nmorning, long before daylight, I was aroused from slumber by a knock\nat the door of our little log house on Oak Creek. One stops to think\ntwice before he jumps out of a warm bed when the temperature is out of\nsight below zero in the room, the fire has gone out and a blizzard is\nhowling outside. The rapping at the door was continued till I opened\nit. A rope was placed in my hand in which were two knots. They showed\nthe length and width of a coffin the man wished to make, and for which\nhe wanted lumber. I had only an old packing-case to give him. At\ndaylight, breakfastless, I went over to the tent and helped him make a\ncoffin from the case, a soap box and a small stable door. It was a\ncrude and weak affair. Ignorant of the language, I could only read\nwords of comfort from the Word of God and try to sing two Indian\nhymns. Only a few of us stood about the grave, which the husband and\nmyself had dug.\n\nIn the coffin had been placed dry crusts of bread, waste pieces of\nmeat, a rusty knife, fork and spoon. In the grave were first placed\nsome thick comfortables and a filthy pillow, on which the coffin,\nwarmly wrapped, was placed. Then over the mouth of the grave was laid\nthe broken tent poles, the tent covering folded and laid over, then a\ngreat mound of earth. At the grave everything the family had was given\naway. And this was only ten years ago. But how great an improvement on\nthe custom of laying the body on the top of a high hill, or in the\nbranches of a tree, or even leaving the top of the coffin even with\nthe surface of the ground, which has been done away with only in the\nlast twelve years.\n\nI have described one of the first funerals in the Indian country that\nI remember. How different the funeral of one of our most faithful\nwomen, Mrs. Mary Gilbert, who was buried from our crowded Grand River\nChapel April 17th. She had been a great sufferer for years, yet\npatiently, uncomplainingly, bearing it all. Though in her last\nsickness there was no hope of recovery, the most popular medicine man\nwas not sent for. The suffering woman was not put out in a tent to\ndie. Gratefully did she receive the tender nursing of the white lady\nmissionary and the skillful school physician. Tenderly was she cared\nfor to the last in a comfortable bed, in a clean, tidy house. The body\nwas not hurried with unseemly haste to the burial. Through the\ndarkness of night a messenger rode 30 miles to have the agency\ncarpenter make a coffin, neatly cover it with black cloth and white\nmetal trimmings. Through the darkness of another night was it carried\nback. The one service of the Sabbath day was the funeral service.\nCrowds gathered at the house at an early hour. The long procession of\nwagons was nearly two hours in reaching the chapel. Beautiful and\nsimple was the service, and the closing words of the sorrowing husband\nwill long be remembered, as he spoke of his wife's noble work and\ntrusting faith in the Master. Through the parted lines of the 80\nschool children was borne the casket, followed by the parents of these\nchildren and others to the number of over 200, most of whom in the\nlast eight years have found Christ as an ever-present Saviour, and\nhave learned to know Him as \"the resurrection and the life.\" In this\nbelief they gathered about this grave, and from it they went to their\nhomes to live re-consecrated lives.\n\nI have but hinted at progress in these illustrations from their life.\nMay the churches recognize this new type of Indian uprising, this\nprogress in many ways, by larger gifts for building much needed\nchurches, and in sending out new messengers of the Gospel of peace.\nThe Indians seem ready to do their share, are we ready to do ours?\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nThe Chinese.\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nTHE CALIFORNIA CHINESE MISSION.\n\n\nI am requested to give a \"general view of our work in about 1000\nwords:\" and I attempt the task. The story is elastic; it bears\ncompression. Perhaps it can be brought within the allotted space. I\nhave often undertaken to tell it in five minutes, premising, however,\nalways that to do this adequately would require more than five hours.\n\nI. FIGURES THAT WILL NOT LIE. The first half of the present fiscal\nyear ended March 3. The statistical reports for these six months are\nthe best we have had for more than ten years. The total number of\npupils enrolled in our 19 mission schools thus far is 970: about as\nmany as in the whole year '95 to '96. The average membership month by\nmonth has been about 430, and the average attendance 234. Every month\nhas been fraught with saving light and love for some dark souls. I\ncannot give an exact statement, but I think that nearly 50 conversions\nhave been reported, making a total, since our work began, of fully\n1,600.\n\nII. THE NEW MISSION HOUSE. It has cost us, finished and furnished (so\nfar as it is yet furnished), fully $19,500. It is a fine building in\nan admirable location, the best that could be found, overlooking a\npretty square, yet standing just within the border line of San\nFrancisco's Chinatown. It is four stories high, with a dry basement\nand a flat roof, and it is utilized on these six floors. The Noyes\nMemorial Chapel on the first floor is an attractive place of worship\nseating easily 250, and is used on week days for the Central School,\nwhich is, doubtless, the largest Chinese week-day school in our\ncountry. Rev. Jee Gam, with his large family, has several rooms as a\nsort of parsonage. Other Christian families occupy apartments.\nHomeless young men rent some of our best rooms, and use them for\nsocial purposes and as a retreat from the wickedness of almost every\nother gathering place in Chinatown. Most of these young men were\nChristians when they came to occupy these rooms. One among those who\nwere not Christians has already turned to Christ, the first fruits in\nthis our new garden of the Lord. We owe $13,250 on this building, of\nwhich $2,000 ought to be paid at once.\n\n[Illustration: NEW MISSION HOUSE.]\n\nIII. OUR WORK FOR MOTHERS AND CHILDREN is to be distinguished from the\nRescue work among the female slaves bought and sold for the worst of\npurposes, who constitute a large majority of all the Chinese women in\nCalifornia. This latter work our Presbyterian and Methodist Missions\nhave been doing for many years at large expense and with good results.\nThey were prepared to take care of all who would come to them, and we\ndid not enter into that field, for we never have used missionary money\nfor the purpose of competition with other denominations, and we never\nwill. The mothers living in wedlock and their children constitute our\nfield, and wherever we have missions this is carried on with more or\nless activity according to the number of families and the welcomes\nextended. In Los Angeles, Marysville, San Francisco and Watsonville,\nthere are visitors giving to this undertaking so much of their time as\nto make it necessary to assist in their support. I doubt if any human\nbeings anywhere on earth have more hindrances to overcome, more lions\nto face, more superstitions to be laid aside in coming to Christ, than\nhave the Chinese women. The tyranny of heathen husbands, the scorn of\nneighbors, the vague dread of untold calamities which the ghosts of\nthe dead will inflict upon them if not duly worshipped, the stories\ntold them of children kidnapped, eyes put out, hurtful spells thrown\nupon people by foreign devils; all these and other obstacles must be\nmet and overcome. But Christian kindness will overcome everything if\npersistently shown, and I believe the time is coming when the harvest\namong these Chinese mothers will exceed, in proportion to the numbers\nwithin reach of us, any reaped elsewhere. I would like to go into the\ndetails of this comparatively new work but my limits forbid it.\n\nIV. THE CHINESE POPULATION in America is, I believe, increasing. I\ncannot prove this, and I state it only as an impression. The Exclusion\nLaw at its best is a leaky dike, and the tide washing up against it\nleaps through and sometimes overflows. How this comes to pass I have\nnot space to tell, but while I do not believe that _all_ men have\ntheir price, I suspect that some Custom House officials have not\nalways been proof against temptation, and are not now. And perjury in\nthe view of a non-christian Chinese is a venial offense except when so\nclumsily committed as to lead to detection. But, no matter how these\nnew comers get here, once among us they are fish for our fishing, and\nwhen one of them becomes a Christian and tells me he has been in the\ncountry five or six or eight years, I do not feel bound to make him\nconfess the method of his entrance. He was a heathen then. There is no\nprobability whatever that the work of our mission will cease for lack\nof material to work upon, till long after the present workers have\npassed to their reward.\n\nV. THE FINANCES. Under this head the tale is soon told. Appropriation\nfrom the A. M. A. exhausted. The last check for this fiscal year from\nthe office in New York came to me on the 1st of March. The bills for\nApril are provided for, however. As to May, June, July and August,\nbills, which if the work were done as it should be, could not even by\nclosest economy, be brought below $4,000, we wait for the payment of\nupon God and upon those whom he has made to be the almoners of His\nbounty. Our Chinese will probably give about $1,500. Who will give the\nrest?\n\nW. C. POND.\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nObituary.\n\n\nRev. C. L.

He was born in\nSomers, Conn., was graduated at Amherst College in 1845, at East\nWindsor Theological Institute in 1848, and was ordained to the\nministry in the Second Church in Amherst and became its pastor Nov. 7,\n1849. He remained there till September 2, 1863 when he resigned to\nbecome chaplain to the Twenty-seventh Massachusetts Regiment. In this\nservice he remained nearly a year, and in 1865 was appointed general\nagent of the American Missionary Association for Massachusetts, and in\n1866 its District Secretary for New England, with office in Boston,\nwhich position he occupied till 1888. In June, 1893, he returned to\nhis pastorate in Amherst where he labored with much earnestness till\nhis death.\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nRECEIPTS FOR FEBRUARY, 1898.\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nTHE DANIEL HAND FUND\n\nFor the Education of Colored People.\n\n     Income for February                             $5,037.35\n     Previously acknowledged                         29,295.00\n                                                    ----------\n                                                    $34,332.35\n                                                    ==========\n\n\nNOTE.--Where no name follows that of the town, the contribution is\nfrom the church and society of that place.
