This is the amount of increase\nwhich the Council Committee of Fifteen have asked from the churches.\nThe large work demands at least this per cent. of addition to the\ngifts for the current year. Will not each individual church and\nSunday-school see that their contribution for this year is at least\na third larger than for the former year?\n\nIn addition to this amount needed for the work which has been\nestablished in other years, the claims of Porto Rico are pressing.\nTen thousand dollars was a very conservative estimate of the amount\nthat was needed at once in this new island territory. The churches,\nand especially the Sunday schools, have responded generously in\nbringing up the gifts to about half this amount.

It is a mistake\nto imagine that the Southern situation does not improve from year to\nyear. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions, appreciate the trend\nof events and the necessity for the elevation of the depressed\nmillions with whom they are intermingled. The Southern tragedies of\nmurder and violence have awakened the same horror in their hearts as\nthroughout the country at large. There is a rising sentiment against\nlynching and for enforcing justice by the cold and passionless\nexecution of law. There is a strong desire to give the advantages of\neducation to both the ignorant whites and the ignorant blacks. There\nis a growing sympathy for the beneficent efforts to this end which\nare put forth from the North.\n\nIt is a great mistake to confuse the whole South with certain lower\nelements in its vast and varied populations. It is also a mistake to\nimagine that sporadic instances of violence here and there are\nsufficient indices of the situation at large. Millions of the\nSouthern whites and blacks are dwelling together in amity and co\noperation for the advance of education and for moral progress.\nIllustrations are multiplying on every side of the desire on the\npart of the progressive South to fulfil the duties and meet the\nheavy responsibilities thrust upon it by the masses of population\nsubmerged in ignorance.\n\nThese immense masses are the burden not only of the South, but of\nthe American people at large. Ignorant labor is shiftless and\nwasteful labor. The growth of varied and inter-related manufactures\ncannot rest upon a labor element of clumsiness and stupidity. Civil\nduties demand intelligence and morals. The best patriotism of the\nSouth joins hands with that of the North in the elevation of the\nlowly and ignorant. What has been done is only the initiation of the\nten times more which must be done.\n\nIt is a significant fact that the last national census showed that\nthe white illiteracy of the South was deeper than even the foreign\nilliteracy of the North; while that of the Southern black population\nwas fearfully darker. Both public and private efforts are being made\nin countless communities of the South to begin the lifting of this\ngreat burden. Some of the States have already taken encouraging\nmeasures in this direction. While there are reactions, the general\ntide is that of progress. It is easy to make too much of the violent\nreactionary outcries of a few Southern newspapers. It must be\nremembered that these shrill expostulations against progress are\ncomparatively isolated and do not represent the general and\ndeliberate sense of the intelligent South. The day has come when\nintelligent leaders, North and South, can unite their efforts and\npush forward the work of popular upliftment throughout the South.\nThe lesson of the hour is not that of impatience and denunciation,\nbut of mutual sympathy and co-operation. The hopeful progress of the\npast is a presage to the magnificent progress assured to the\nimmediate future.\n\nNo more timely words have been spoken than those of a Southern\nphilanthropist when he said: \"The Negro must be educated. It is\nabsolutely necessary to both races that his education go on. In our\nextremity we look to wise and just people in the Northern States to\nhelp us to help both races.\"\n\n  F. P. W.\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nGREETINGS TO PORTO RICANS.\n\n\nAt a meeting of the representatives of the different benevolent\nsocieties of our Protestant denominations who are entering upon\nmission work in Porto Rico a committee was appointed to draw up\na paper containing a greeting to these people. The paper was to\nbe published in Spanish and English. The copies in English were\nto go especially to the missionaries to be scattered among\nEnglish-speaking people. The Spanish translation was intended for\nthe native Porto Ricans. This paper was signed by representatives\nof different denominations as will be seen. This broad,\ncomprehensive and loving message from the Christians of America to\nthe people of Porto Rico, who are now a part of our own country,\nmust meet the approval of all those interested in the progress of\nthe Kingdom of God rather than some narrow denominational victory.\nThis greeting to the Porto Ricans is as follows:\n\n\"We rejoice that your beautiful island has become part of the United\nStates. We take you by the hand as fellow-citizens of this Republic.\nWe pray that you may share fully with us in all the blessings it has\nto give. We have come among you to show our interest in and our\nsympathy with you, and to do what we can to help you and your\nchildren toward the larger life that is possible to us all.\n\n\"We come to you as we have gone to all other parts of our beloved\nland--as messengers of the gospel of Jesus Christ our Saviour. We\nhave come as brethren in Christ, as joint-members of that spiritual\nbody of which He is the head, to preach and teach among you, and\nthus in mutual helpfulness to build up the Kingdom of our common\nLord and to answer His prayer 'that they all may be one,' and that\nHis will may 'be done in earth as it is in heaven.'\n\n\"We are agreed in the great truths of our holy religion, and we will\nwork together that they may produce in this historic island all the\nchoicest fruits of Christian life and culture. We would teach the\nchildren the way of eternal life, and bring to the men and\nwomen--full of cares and burdens--the rest and comfort and hope that\ncome through faith in the Saviour. And so shall they and we all be\nbrethren and sisters in Christ.\n\n\"These are the common purposes that bring us hither. In the name of\nour common Master we pray you give us and our preachers welcome, and\njoin your labors with ours that this island, so charming in its\nnatural features, may more and more have the beauty of a pure and\npurifying religion. Then happy will be your homes and happy your\npeople--as Holy Scriptures declare, 'Happy is that people whose God\nis the Lord.' Education will brighten the lives of the children;\nChristian morality will stand guard in every community against sin,\nand the peace which Christ promised to His people will rest upon us\nand ours.\n\n\"Praying for God's richest blessings upon you, beloved people of\nPorto Rico, and asking your co-operation with us, we are\n\n  Yours in Gospel of Jesus Christ,\n\n  (Signed) C. L. THOMPSON,\n\n  T. J. MORGAN,\n\n  W. H. WARD.\"\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nPIONEERS IN PORTO RICO.\n\nSECRETARY CHARLES. J. RYDER.\n\n\nThe opening of this new island territory for the Christian schools\nand the evangelistic work of the American Missionary Association is\nof great interest. Many questions are naturally asked by those who\nare in sympathetic touch with this new and important movement.\n\n_Who have gone to this field? Where have they gone and what fields\nare opening? Why have they gone?_ These questions present themselves\nto the attention of those who have watched with great interest the\nopening of this island to an intelligent and progressive Christian\ninfluence. Let us answer these questions in this article.\n\n[Illustration: A SHACK--A PEASANT'S RESIDENCE.]\n\nFirst, who have gone in this pioneer band of missionaries to Porto\nRico?\n\nThe educational work is especially under the care and direction of\nProf. Charles B. Scott and his wife. Prof Scott is a graduate of\nRutgers College and of Oswego State Normal School. He is a teacher\nof many years' experience and thoroughly qualified for the\nestablishment and direction of the educational work of the\nAssociation among this people. Mrs. Scott, a graduate of Michigan\nUniversity, also takes an active part in this work. They are both\ndevoted Christians, and the religious quickening and spiritual\nelevation of the people comprise an important part of their\nefforts.\n\n[Illustration: MISS JULIA D. FERRIS.]\n\nMiss Julia D. Ferris goes from Saginaw, Michigan. She received her\neducation at Wellesley College after leaving the High School of her\nown city. She has been a teacher for several years and has attained\nmarked success in this work.\n\n[Illustration: MISS ISABEL FRENCH.]\n\nMiss Isabel French is a graduate of a classical school in New York\nCity and pursued a post-graduate course at Barnard College. She has\nhad large experience in teaching and in Christian and philanthropic\nwork, which qualifies her for this mission field.\n\n[Illustration: MISS JENNIE L. BLOWERS.]\n\nMiss Jennie L. Blowers has already had experience in the mission\nschools of the American Missionary Association, having taught in\nChandler Normal School at Lexington, Ky. Her home is in Westfield,\nNew York. She was reappointed to work in the South, but was ready to\nenter this more distant island field. She is well qualified for this\nnew work.\n\n[Illustration: MISS KATHERINE M. ROWLEY.]\n\nMiss Katherine M. Rowley comes from Oberlin, Ohio, being a member of\nthe First Congregational Church of that city. She is a graduate of\nOberlin College and is cordially recommended for this missionary\nservice by her professors and teachers.\n\nMiss Mary L. Daniels is a member of Dr. Munger's church in New\nHaven, Conn. She has been a teacher in the public schools, where she\nhas attained a high position as a very competent instructor. She\ntakes with her the regard and confidence of a large circle of\nfriends and there is every prospect of her abundant success.\n\n[Illustration: MISS MARY L. DANIELS.]\n\nAll these teachers understand the Spanish language to some extent.\nThis is essential, in order to do the work in Porto Rico.\n\nRev. John Edwards, a pastor from Ohio, has been sent out by the\nAssociation as an evangelist in this same field. The preaching of\nthe gospel is greatly needed, and Mr. Edwards' circuit covers a\nlarge area in evangelistic services. He is in eastern Porto Rico,\nwhere there is scarcely any other missionary work.\n\nAnd so this little band of eight devoted men and women have entered\nupon the pioneer work in opening up Porto Rico to an intelligent\ngospel. They have gone out with the prayers and sympathy of\nthousands of those who have been greatly interested in the important\nwork in this island territory. The future promises large things in\nthe building up of Christian character and the establishment of\nprogressive Christian institutions.\n\n[Illustration: REV. JOHN EDWARDS,\n\n_Evangelist_.]\n\n_Where have these missionaries gone?_ They landed first at San Juan,\non the northeastern portion of the island. They established a school\nat Santurce, which is a few miles distant from San Juan. From this\nfield Miss Blowers writes as follows:\n\n[Illustration: AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION SCHOOL, SANTURCE.]\n\n\"The schoolhouse opens on the street (the military road), where\nthere is a constant stream of passers by. There is not an hour in\nthe day that there are not spectators peering in at doors and\nwindows with idle curiosity or eager interest. Sometimes there are\nnot more than three or four, but often as many as eighteen or\ntwenty. Let me tell you of the various persons who composed this\noutside audience, as I watched them one morning. A native policeman,\na business man waiting for his car, three beggars, boys with large\ntrays of bread, fruit and sweetmeats on their heads, a washerwoman\nwith a huge basket of clothes poised securely on her head, the\ndriver of an ox-cart, who stopped his team while we sang \"America,\"\nthree women going to market, a party of daintily dressed,\nsweet-faced senoritas with their chaperone, a dirty, wild-looking\nold hag who almost frightened me, a young mother carrying a naked\nbaby in her arms, and boys--well, it was no use to count them. What\ndo you think? Are we not being well advertised?\"\n\n[Illustration: ON THE MILITARY ROAD FROM SAN JUAN TO LARES.]\n\nGreat care was taken in locating these schools. Rev. A. F. Beard,\nSenior Secretary of the A. M. A., and Rev. William H. Ward, D.D., a\nmember of the Executive Committee, visited the island to examine the\nconditions and discover the best points for such work. Prof. Scott,\nafter reaching the island, also made thorough investigation\nconcerning the most important location. He wrote after reaching\nPorto Rico: \"The railroad from Arecibo is impassable. I hired a pony\nand a boy to guide me and started for the town. The only way of\ntraveling now, except on military roads, is by pony. I had never\nridden two miles on horseback in my life, but it had to be done and\nI am still intact, and have ridden twenty to twenty-five miles\nto-day without even getting stiff. We reached Arecibo, having to\nford or ferry streams five times. There were no bridges left.\n\n\"Friday I rode to Lares, eighteen miles over the roughest trail\nimaginable. Much of it is as steep as a stairway, with stones of all\nsizes replacing the steps. But I managed to stick to my pony. We\nreached Lares at eight o'clock, the eighteen miles taking nine\nhours, with three hours at noon waiting for the rain to cease.\"\n\nLares, a town of 3,000 population, is situated in the western part\nof the island. It was finally decided that this should be the place\nfor the second school planted by the American Missionary\nAssociation. Prof. Scott writes also: \"Lares is a very pleasant\nplace, built around the top of a hill, the best residences at the\ntop, with best possible drainage and supplied with excellent spring\nwater. I had a letter to the Alcalde (Mayor) and to the leading\ndoctor of the town, a very intelligent man, who speaks English. I\nexamined several buildings and found one admirably adapted to our\npurpose. It is central, with a large room on the ground floor and\nfive bedrooms, a dining room and kitchen for the teachers.\nEverything is in excellent order. The sanitary condition, with some\nchanges, cannot be surpassed. The house seems just built for our\npurpose, and with a minimum expense can be enlarged to give two\ngood-sized dormitories. All the people whom I saw were very much\ninterested in our work. The city can do nothing. They have paid no\nsalaries for months.\"\n\nThe schools at Lares and Santurce represent the present educational\nwork of the Association in Porto Rico. Both schools are well under\nway and large numbers of eager pupils are in attendance. Prof. Scott\nwrote so urgently for reinforcements in order to meet the needs\nalready pressing, that an additional missionary teacher was sent in\nJanuary. Miss Johanna Blinka was selected for this important\nmission, as she was thoroughly acquainted with the Spanish language\nand had had large experience in educational and missionary work.\nThis completes the force of eight teachers already engaged in the\neducational work under the American Missionary Association in the\nisland of Porto Rico.\n\nRev. John Edwards has begun work in the eastern part of the island.\nThere are few missionaries here and the opportunities for\nevangelistic work are pressing. The following interesting facts were\nreceived under recent date from Mr. Edwards: He writes from Fajardo,\neastern Porto Rico, \"There are many circumstances attending the work\nhere that are very trying and require the greatest of patience.\nStill, on the whole, there is great encouragement. I have rented a\nbuilding here at Fajardo, to occupy as the centre of missionary work\nin this region. I ordered a dozen benches with backs, to be used for\npublic service. A little table stands at the end of the room, on\nwhich I place the Bible and use as a pulpit. It is my intention to\ndevelop fully the promising conditions both here at Fajardo and also\nat Humacao, where I have found a warm welcome.\n\n\"I understand the best time on Sunday for public worship is in the\nevening. The young men are most of them occupied during the day.\nSunday is their busy market day until three or four o'clock in the\nafternoon, when the market and stores close and all are free to go\nwhither they like. Some of the young men told me that a number would\nattend our meetings in the night, that could not come during the\nday. Of course, this is a condition unfavorable to such Christian\nwork, and yet I hope to be able to gather considerable audiences and\nreach this needy people with the living gospel of Jesus Christ. I\nspeak in Spanish with comparative ease. We held services Sunday\nmorning, at which I preached. We then sang several hymns which the\npeople are rapidly learning. We need hymn books to offer them for\nsale, that they may be used in our meetings.\"\n\n[Illustration: A STREET IN SANTURCE--A SUBURB OF SAN JUAN.]\n\nFrom this letter it will be seen that work is opening hopefully\nbefore our evangelist. As the work develops it will demand a\nreinforcement of preachers capable of doing the same sort of\nearnest, evangelistic work. The demand in every department of this\nnew island territory is pressing and imperative. Surely the churches\nof our Congregational fellowship will see to it, each one of them,\nthat the work is fully and cordially supported.\n\nBut a very natural question remains to be answered, namely, why have\nthese missionaries gone to this island field? The answer is easy and\nnatural. In the first place, Porto Rico is the only territory that\nhas come under the immediate direction and control of the United\nStates government as a result of the war with Spain. It is\nemphatically a home missionary field. The responsibility of our\nAmerican churches is immediate and direct for the spread of the\ngospel among the inhabitants of this island, who are even now our\nfellow citizens. The American Missionary Association follows the\nflag. By the adjustment of work suggested by the churches years\nago, at which the Association surrendered its foreign field and took\nthe work among the Indians as a legitimate department of its home\nwork, it has confined its missions to the territory of the United\nStates. Patriotism reinforces the demands of Christianity for the\nphysical, intellectual and religious development of the people in\nPorto Rico. The time is immediate and the command imperative. It is\nthe command of our country as truly as of God.\n\nChurches, expressing their views through resolutions of local\nconferences and associations, urged upon the A. M. A. to occupy this\nisland field. This was another reason for going.\n\nThe appeal put before the churches in behalf of this important new\nwork met with immediate and hopeful response. Ten thousand dollars\nare still demanded in order to put the work upon a proper and\npermanent foundation. Buildings should be erected for the schools,\nand this immediately. Also homes for the teachers, where model\nhousekeeping can reinforce the instruction of the schoolroom and\nindustrial class. Has not some friend, who reads these messages from\nPorto Rico, the ability and desire to send a check to our treasury\nat once, to put one of these mission schools in permanent quarters\nand thus greatly reinforce the present work and secure its\npermanency?\n\nLittle by little, as the evangelistic movements progress, chapels\nwill be needed for the accommodation of audiences that gather for\nChristian worship. Here again is a large increase upon the demands\nof Christian people for this new work of the American Missionary\nAssociation.\n\nSurely this little band of heroic Christian missionaries and\nteachers who have gone out from their homes and from our shores,\nresponding at once to the call of the Master to enter this important\nand large field, will not be forgotten by Christian men and women in\nour churches. The work must not suffer. It should be reinforced\npromptly and largely. In God's providence, mysterious and\nincomprehensible, this island has become a part of our country. The\ncall now comes to occupy the field, not with armies and military\nmovements, but with the peaceful influences of Christianity. The\nintellectual and moral quickening of the youth and children through\nthe Christian institutions planted among them, and the preaching of\nthe simple gospel of Jesus Christ to this destitute people, create a\nresponsibility which our Congregational churches must meet\ncourageously and generously.\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nFISK UNIVERSITY.\n\nJ. G. MERRILL, D.D., DEAN.\n\n\nThere was romance in its birth. Regimental bands headed the\nprocession; army officers, men of renown, North and South, gathered\nin the hospital barracks; thousands of ex-slaves, were there. One\npassion animated this dusky throng. To learn to read was the\nambition of the bright colored boy, of his sedate but none the less\neager sire, and of the veteran grandparent with white hair and with\neyes that must learn the alphabet by the aid of spectacles.\n\n[Illustration: JUBILEE HALL.\n\nBuilded with money earned by the original Jubilee Singers.]\n\nIt was a moment of inspiration. The man to appreciate the hour and\ngive utterance to its meaning, was there. He had hardly surrendered\nhis commission as chaplain in the army. He had fought to win the\nfreedom of a race. To make that race true free men was a task much\nmore vast than to emancipate them. The parting of the ways had come.\nAn illiterate people must be taught. No longer should it be a crime\nto instruct them. The rather was he the criminal who should deny\nthem an education. It was an hour for the voice of a prophet. With\nthe ken of a seer, Chaplain Cravath, representing the American\nMissionary Association, Jan. 9th, 1866, made the proclamation, that\nthe founding of the school inaugurated that day was the beginning of\na great educational institution, that should give to the emancipated\nrace the opportunities and advantages of education which had so long\nbeen furnished to the white race in their colleges and universities.\n\n[Illustration: THE RAW MATERIAL.]\n\nGen. Fisk, the brilliant soldier and ardent philanthropist, lent\ninvaluable aid and consented to have the institution, so\nproblematical in its existence, bear his name. Governor Brownlow and\nthe pioneer educator of colored youth, Professor John Ogden, added\nthe weight of their words and helpful deeds, and Fisk had come into\nbeing.\n\n[Illustration: FISK'S FINISHED PRODUCT.]\n\nROMANCE ATTENDED THE EARLY LIFE OF THE UNIVERSITY.--Nearly four\nyears had passed, when the Professor of music started out with a\nband of colored youth, who had been named the Jubilee Singers. That\nthey could sing with incomparable sweetness he knew. That the songs\nthey were to sing had incomparable pathos no one who heard them\ndoubted. But nothing short of sublimest faith could have sent forth\nthis band of friendless youth on their mission. They often were\npenniless as they went from town to town. They arrived at Oberlin\nand were permitted to sing before the National Council, then in\nsession at that stronghold of the colored man. The tide turned. It\nrose with rapidity. Plymouth, Brooklyn, and other churches were\nopened to them. The entire North gave them welcome. They crossed the\nAtlantic; that gracious friend of humanity Queen Victoria, gave them\naudience. Her incomparable prime minister, Gladstone, made them his\nguests at Hawarden. Germany and France heard them. At the end of\nseven years they returned to Nashville and laid at the feet of the\nUniversity the munificent sum of $150,000, a large part of which was\ndevoted to the erection of Jubilee Hall and the remainder to the\npaying for the campus of thirty-five acres, once a slave plantation,\nnow the most commanding location in the Athens of the South, as\nNashville, the seat of four universities, is justly called.\n\n[Illustration: A BAND OF KING'S DAUGHTERS.]\n\n[Illustration: LIVINGSTONE HALL.\n\nA gift mainly from Mrs. Valeria G. Stone.]\n\nTHERE HAS BEEN ROMANCE IN ALL ITS LIFE. Never for a year has the\nhard work, the distasteful drudgery, the, at the time, apparently\nfruitless toil been undertaken on the basis of cold calculating\njudgment; from its birth to the present hour, ideals that to most\nmen would have seemed dreams and wild fancies, have animated the\nleaders of this enterprise--such ideals as have underlain the\nworld's greatest achievements and have given heart to the world's\nvictors.\n\n[Illustration: FISK MEMORIAL CHAPEL.\n\nErected with the bequest of Gen. Fisk. Seats 1,000.]\n\nWISDOM AND PAINSTAKING ATTENTION to the material interests of the\nUniversity, that have challenged the admiration of those who have\nwatched its growth, have been coupled with all this romance. The\nideal has been made actual. This has not been due to one man, nor\none sex, nor one race. For a quarter of a century and more, have men\nand women, white and black, worked with an unanimity rarely equaled,\nwith patience and self-sacrifice. As the outcome there is\n\n  FISK OF TO-DAY.\n\nThe building of Jubilee Hall set the pace for the progress of the\ninstitution. Thorough workmanship, good taste and belief in a large\nfuture, have prevented the erection of buildings which could be used\nonly a short time and must be replaced by structures adapted to the\nwork. Eight substantial buildings afford the facilities now needed\nand are so grouped that in the near future the Central and Music\nHalls can be erected, to complete the general plan. Already the\nlarge enrolment of pupils, coming, as they do, from more than a\nscore of the states of our Union, is making the proposed buildings a\nnecessity and affording other givers the opportunity to bless\nhumanity that has been so handsomely met by those large-minded\ndonors who have built the structures already erected.\n\n[Illustration: THEOLOGICAL HALL.\n\nBuilded mainly by the A. M. A., a band of Jubilee Singers\nassisting.]\n\n[Illustration: THE 1899 FOOTBALL TEAM.]\n\nTHE EVERY-DAY LIFE OF THE UNIVERSITY is first of all religious. With\nno cant, with the avoidance of undue emotion, with a constant appeal\nto Christian manhood and womanhood, men and women loyal to Jesus,\nseeking less their rights than to faithfully perform their duties,\nare being reared. For nine months in a year the faculty of Fisk,\nlike those who in large cities man college settlements, day and\nnight seek in every way and by all means to arouse and perpetuate\nthe highest Christian ideals. Added to these are intellectual\ntraining, musical culture and a spirit of true gentility. The\nstudent body honors scholarship, awakens ambitions, cultivates good\nmanners, frowns upon untidyness of appearance, while by firmly\nsustained legislation the faculty forbids any display of\nextravagance in attire. Patches and darns are expected; soiled or\nneglected garments the school will not permit. In a word, what one\nwould expect to find in a Caucasian institution, composed of pupils\nof moderate means, with high ideals and gentle manners, are found at\nFisk. The choicest of the recently emancipated race are here seeking\na training. As always and everywhere, none reach the highest ideal.\nSome are found who fail to aspire to it; a few are intractable, but\nto one who recalls the life of the race and the treatment it has\nreceived before and since it was freed, life at Fisk is a constant\nmiracle.\n\n[Illustration: INDUSTRIAL BUILDING AND GYMNASIUM.\n\nErected through a legacy by Mr. Howard, of Nashville, and gift of\nDr. A. J. Burrell, of Oberlin, O.]\n\n[Illustration: \"AS GOOD AS NEW.\"]\n\nTHE FISK IDEA is an expression often on the lips of its alumni. It\nmay be summed up in this: The rudiments of learning for all, manual\ntraining for those that are adapted to it and will use it in their\nafter life, the best of culture for those who are capable of\nreceiving and employing it. In a word, capacity not color,\nChristianity not caste, is to decide the question as to the kind of\neducation a youth is to receive, whether he dwell in the North or\nSouth, whether he be an Ethiopian or an Anglo-Saxon. Exceeding few\nin comparison with the vast multitude of their race will be those\nwho receive their diploma at Fisk; but they are to be the leaders of\na people sorely needing leadership. And Fisk's determination to rear\nsuch leaders is an abiding protest against the spirit which denies\nto any human being a chance, and a declaration that the Church, like\nits divine Master, is to minister especially to those who most need\nhelp.\n\nFISK PRODUCTS are the test of its work. Each year it publishes to\nthe world its list of graduates, and over against each name what he\nis doing for the world. It does not hesitate to compare this list\nwith a like catalogue of any institution with equipment equal to its\nown. It has faith to believe that the demon of prejudice will not\nalways hold its flaming sword to bar true manhood deserving success\nat the threshold of life. It would do its part to overcome this\ndemon by producing self-respecting manhood, which in the eyes of\nall true men commands respect.\n\nFISK'S NEEDS are great. It needs such an endowment as shall enable\nit to decline help from that truest foster mother--the A. M. A. Its\nchairs professorial and for instructors should be placed upon a\npermanent footing. In no other way can its fine plant be utilized.\nIf Northern institutions of learning must rely upon endowments to\npay from two-thirds to three-quarters of the cost of educating their\nstudents, certainly an institution educating the youth of a race\nscarcely forty years out of the house of bondage, and hence poor\nbeyond all expression, needs vastly more the income of an endowment\nto supplement the meagre tuitions which its pupils pay. Here is an\nopportunity for the man of large means to bestow a princely gift,\nwhile the man of slender means none the less can invest in the same\nundertaking.\n\nThe man or men who shall thus endow Fisk, will have ever the favor\nof Him who has declared Himself the friend of the poor and needy.\n\n[Illustration: DANIEL HAND MODEL SCHOOL.\n\nErected by the A. M. A. with money from the income of the Daniel\nHand bequest.]\n\nFisk's greatest need is an answer to the prayer of God's people for\nthat constant indwelling of the divine Spirit which shall keep in\nstout heart those who, with personal self-sacrifice, are doing its\nwork.\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nCHEYENNE AND ARAPAHOE INDIANS.\n\nREV. W. M. WELLMAN, OKLAHOMA.\n\n\nChristian work among the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians of Oklahoma\nwas first entered upon some ten years ago. It was begun by two\nChristian Indians who labored with their own people until they were\ndiscouraged and the work well-nigh died. Afterwards several young\nmen, one after another, came into the field, but though they were\nindividually earnest, their work did not make much impression. They\nprocured tables, chairs and reading matter and fitted up a room, but\nnine out of ten of those to whom they were sent could neither read\nnor write, and of course did not seem to be greatly drawn to current\nliterature. In 1893, however, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Woodward took\ncharge, and did most excellent service, remaining almost a year\nuntil they left to become missionaries in India.\n\n[Illustration: (1) MISSION, DARLINGTON, OKLAHOMA.]\n\n[Illustration: (2) MR. AND MRS. WELLMAN AND INDIAN WOMAN AND CHILD.]\n\nUp to this time, for lack of funds and steady workers, the work had\nbeen but poorly organized, and though the men who had been leading\nwere wise, earnest and true, yet as a force for permanent good, it\nwas somewhat in question.\n\nIn 1895 Rev. R. H. Harper, coming to take charge, found, he says,\none cheap two-room cottage, one pony, an old wagon and harness and\nbesides these a table and a few chairs. He knew that unless more\nbuildings could be procured, the work would amount to nothing. Upon\nrequest, the Interior Department set aside two acres of land near\nthe government school for the use of the mission.\n\nThe Church-Building Society has at different times extended generous\nhelp, as a result of which the mission finally secured a beautiful\nchapel, with rooms and apartments above and below. Mr. Harper did\nmuch excellent service throughout his stay, until 1897, when, his\nwife's health giving way, he was compelled to leave the field.\n\n[Illustration: ON THE ROAD.]\n\nI succeeded him at once, and the work went forward, apparently\nwithout abatement. I organized the work at the two government\nschools carefully, and instituted evangelistic work in both. This\nphase of the work was so successful that on the following Easter, 37\nIndian young people gave their hearts to God and were baptized, and\non Children's Day, in June following, 29 others came in the same\nway. A fervent religious interest prevailed in both of the\ngovernment schools, so that, at Christmas time, 35 others came into\nthe Church on an intelligent confession of faith. This most blessed\nwork could not be kept within the narrow bounds of the schoolroom.\nIt spread to the camp and field. The parents came to me to learn,\nand I had many requests to go to them and tell them about Jesus,\ntill in at least two places, 18 and 20 miles distant from the\nAgency, the camp Indians have asked to have a church organized and a\nhouse built. On Easter Sunday, 1898, the climax was reached, so far\nas numbers were concerned, when 67 young people, from ten to\ntwenty-six years of age, from both tribes, gave themselves to\nChrist, and presented themselves for baptism. The interest is still\ngeneral though somewhat abated in intensity. Several times in the\nlast few months have smaller numbers united with the Church.\n\n[Illustration: IN CAMP.]\n\nA few weeks ago I returned to my work from the East, where dear\nfriends showed me every courtesy and sympathy possible, and while at\nthe Mohonk Conference of Indian Workers I met many whose hearts and\npurses were open to pray for and help the helpless and abused red\nman. During my visit East I found a general interest and sympathy\nfrom churches and individuals, and money was put into my hands\nsufficient to add two or three warm rooms to our parsonage, which we\nhave vacated and turned over to the sick and distressed Indians for\na hospital. With the rooms we have just added--work is now going\non--this parsonage hospital has one kitchen, one general work-room,\ntwo rooms sufficient for four beds, a room for reading and study, a\nlaundry or general purpose room, and a bathroom; this latter,\nhowever, we cannot finish at present for lack of money to provide\nwater facilities. Chairs and tables will be put in, and bead and\nembroidery work, done in both silk and worsted, will be persistently\nencouraged, so far as funds will allow.\n\nThere is attached to the mission a free medical dispensary, to\nwhich a great many come. It is, however, only intended to be\nsupplemental to the general medical work under the direction of the\nstationed Government physician, who is not only a thoroughly trained\nand competent physician, but a careful and painstaking one as well.\nA great many questions mingled with doubt are frequently asked us,\nby those who look upon the Indian more as a curiosity than a human\nbeing, or as a painted entity watching for an opportunity to wreak\nvengeance on the white man. \"Do you really think these young people\nand camp Indians understand what they are doing,\" etc., etc.\n\n[Illustration: IN WINTER QUARTERS.]\n\nI say, \"We certainly do, when a boy or girl, or a young man or\nwoman, no matter what color the skin may be, comes to us of his own\nwill, and says, 'I want to have a good heart and love Jesus and want\nto be a Christian,' and then in the presence of both white and red\nscoffers, is baptized and unites with the Church, and lives a\nconsistent and prayerful life, I have no reason or no right to\ndoubt.\" A few months ago there walked into the church, just as\nservice had begun one Sunday morning, eleven fine-looking Arapahoe\nIndians. They were not richly attired, but they were clean. Only one\ncould even partially understand my words, but they were quiet and\nattentive. After service they lingered. I said, addressing the\nleader, \"Coyote, what do you want?\" \"We Indians come 20 miles, want\nto talk about Jesus. We hear you talk some days back, down on Big\nRiver. You say, God love Indian just the same He love white man.\nYou say, Jesus came to help Indian be good just the same as white\nman. Indian want good heart, to know how to love squaw and children.\nIndian love Jesus and Indian give Jesus heart and brain and hand and\nfeet.\" \"Well,\" I said, \"let us pray and ask God.\" We knelt. I\nprayed, Coyote prayed, and, with some hesitation, they all, in turn,\nprayed fervently. I have no doubt they understood, although I have\nnot taken them into the Church yet.\n\nA few weeks ago an old Indian woman with gray hair came into the\nchurch. She could not talk much, but in their sign language I asked,\n\"Are you a Christian?\" \"Yes, yes,\" she replied; \"I could not live if\nJesus leave me,\" and then making the sign as if washing on a\nwash-board, and the sign for spirit (soul), pointing to my white\ncuff--Jesus has washed my soul white--do they not understand? Can\nwe, dare we, turn one of these, His little ones, away?\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nSOUTHERN FIELD NOTES.\n\nBY REV. GEORGE W. MOORE.\n\n\nQuite a number of students and graduates of our A. M. A. schools are\nin business and professional life in northern and western cities, as\nwell as in the South. A growing number of colored youth from the\nNorth attend our Southern institutions. Thus Dr. Dubois, the noted\nnegro scholar and writer, came from Massachusetts to Tennessee to\ntake his college training at Fisk University. But it is of the\nSouthern field, as I have seen it during the last six weeks, that I\nwish to speak.\n\nOur Chandler Institute at Lexington, Ky., is filled with earnest\nstudents, under the direction of Miss Fanny J. Webster and her\nassociates. Every year well-trained young people go out from this\nschool to their life-work. During a gospel meeting recently held\nwith the Lexington Church, more than fifty of the pupils of Chandler\nSchool avowed their faith in Christ.\n\nThe church is built upon the site of an old slave-pen, the key of\nwhich is preserved as a relic of those dark days. The neat chapel\nnow stands as a symbol of light and truth to the people. The pastor,\nRev. W. L. Johnson, is a graduate of Fisk, and his wife is from Le\nMoyne Institute. She has taught in our service at Memphis and\nMobile.\n\nSome of the most representative and influential citizens are members\nof our Lexington Church, among whom are the two leading physicians,\nthe supervising principal and several teachers of the public\nschools.\n\nA directory of the negro in business reports: four physicians, two\ndentists, two lawyers, an editor, two undertaking establishments,\nseveral groceries, a drug store and other business enterprises,\nbesides mechanics, farmers, etc. They support a home for orphans,\nand maintain a number of benevolent organizations.\n\nThe colored people of Lexington hold an Annual Fair at the State\nFair Grounds, which is a most attractive feature of Kentucky life.\nDuring the week of the Fair the city is crowded, and the daily\nattendance numbers thousands of the best people of both races. The\nNegro Fair Association is entirely under the management of colored\nmen, and has a paid-up capital of several thousand dollars.\n\nThe thrift and intelligence of the colored people can be seen by the\nlarge number of neat and well-appointed homes owned by them.\n\nPlymouth Church, at Louisville, is making hopeful progress under the\nministry of Rev. E. G. Harris. Among the members of this church are\nthree teachers of the Colored High School, who are Fisk graduates.\nThe president of the Christian Endeavor is Dr. Whipple, a physician\nof note, and the superintendent of the Sunday-school is Professor\nPerry, the principal of a large public school of over a thousand\npupils. Some of the most active workers are mechanics and people in\nhumble life.\n\nRev. Gilbert Walton was present at one of our meetings and gave an\ninteresting address on the work among the people of the mountains of\nKentucky and Tennessee.\n\nThe colored people of Louisville are also making encouraging,\nmaterial progress. Dr. Whedbee and other colored physicians have\nopened a medical school under the auspices of the Colored State\nCollege. They have also opened a free sanitarium in the central part\nof the city, which is supported by the colored people.\n\nOur school at Florence, Ala., is crowded with boys and girls who are\neager for an education. Many of them walk in from the country a\ndistance of several miles. Among the pupils are two men who are\npreachers. Miss M. L. Corpier and Miss Nicholson are in charge of\nthis school. They are both graduates of Fisk University. A revival\nof great spiritual power was held in connection with the Florence\nchurch and school. Four men of mature life and heads of families\nwere among the converts. The church is growing in numbers and\ninfluence under the ministry of Rev. R. J. McCann, a graduate of\nTalladega College.\n\nWe visited eight families of the church who lived in the country. In\none of these country homes we held a service in which four persons\nwere converted, whom we baptized. Two small children were also\nbaptized. There was joy in that home.\n\nOne of the most unique institutions of Birmingham, Ala., is the\nPenny Savings Bank, under the management of colored men. This bank\nhas stood the storms of several panics and has been in successful\noperation for more than a decade; it has the confidence of the\nentire community. Mr. B. H. Hudson, the cashier, a graduate of\nTalladega College, is a leading member of our Congregational Church.\n\nRev. Abraham Simmons is pastor of the church. At our closing service\nat Birmingham, the three principals of the public schools, and a\nnumber of teachers who graduated at A. M. A. schools, a graduate of\nFisk and now a theological student of Oberlin, several business men,\nand men and women of humble life, all testified to their loyalty to\nChrist and joy in His service.\n\nA successful revival service was also held at Knoxville, Tenn., in\nwhich more than thirty conversions were reported. I was greatly\ncheered on Thanksgiving Day by the receipt of twenty-five messages\nfrom these young disciples of their love to Christ and desire to\nserve Him.\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nNEWS FROM ARCTIC ALASKA.\n\nW. T. LOPP.\n\n\nA letter just received from Mr. W. T. Lopp, who is missionary in\nArctic Alaska at Cape Prince of Wales, which was written under date\nof October 2d, is of very great interest. It brings the latest\nmessage from this distant mission-field, and this message is one of\ngreat encouragement. Mr. Lopp writes:\n\n\"Now that the American Missionary Association is out of debt, we\nhope you will be able to send us a missionary with a missionary wife\nto be with us. It is hardly necessary for us to cite reasons for\nthis. He should be a minister, if possible. It would not be right to\nsubject children of school age to the influences of the life here.\nYou wrote us up last year as having 'no time for gold hunting, and\nyet gold has been discovered within a few miles of the Cape.' This\nbrings upon us new anxiety and greater work. Should these claims\nturn out well, the American Missionary Association will not be\nforgotten.\n\n\"The _Bear_ has made a wonderful cruise this season. I doubt if she\never made a longer one. She arrived here too late to look after some\nwhaling vessels, but considerable testimony has been secured, and if\nthe present captain commands the _Bear_ again next year I think\ncertain whalers will be seized if they do not change their ways. The\npresent captain has made a very conscientious commander, and has\nsurely exerted himself to perform his duty vigorously and honestly.\nHe has administered the law toward the Eskimo as well as white men,\nand arrested those who were guilty of crime. He was very kind to the\nnatives, giving them help in coming from Cape Prince of Wales to\nthis point and also across the straits to Siberia. When the sea was\ntoo rough for their skin boats he would have them hoisted up on\ndeck. The United States surgeon has also been exceedingly kind to\nus.\n\n\"We now have 437 reindeer, and have sent an order signed by Dr.\nJackson to the station on Norton Sound for the 277 which are yet due\nus. These will be driven up some time this winter. After they come\nwe will make an estimate of the number belonging to the Eskimo boys\nand mark them. I have taken one new herder as an apprentice, and\nhope to take another or two next year. We sold reindeer at thirty\ndollars per head to the Bureau of Education, which furnished money\nfor training other apprentices. Our old apprentices can now pay\ntheir own way, and the sale of the reindeer in the future will go\ntoward helping new apprentices till they can help themselves.\n\n\"The Woman's Home Missionary Association of Boston have contributed\ntoward the support of native workers. We received word about it and\nrejoiced in their generous gifts. I will use it in helping support\nSokweena at our little mission at Mitle-tok. As I wrote last year,\nwe were enabled to start this mission through a small contribution\nof about twenty-five dollars from the generous Endeavorers of\nWestboro, Mass. Then some other friends sent in a little help that\nwent toward the support of Sokweena and his wife. It is not enough,\nbut we will try to make it do for the present. We were unable to\nvisit Sokweena but three times last winter. If we could only visit\nhim oftener and help him more he would be able to accomplish more.\nBut some of the children at his mission learn to spell and write a\nlittle and to sing. We had some very good meetings. Lucy and I went\nup and stayed three days. We took a lantern. Many of the old folks\nhad professed Christ and seemed to be earnest and sincere in their\nprayers. The position for Sokweena is a hard one at times.\n\n\"Adlooat, one of our brightest boys, was typo and artist for the\n_Eskimo Bulletin_. We will not be able to get the _Bulletin_ out\nbefore November, I am afraid.\n\n\"We have just erected a building twelve by forty feet, which we have\ndecided to call 'Thornton House.' It is to be used as a workshop,\nclub-room and other purposes for the natives. The need of such a\nbuilding had occurred to Mr. Thornton and myself in 1890. Last year\nMrs. Thornton succeeded in gathering one hundred and twenty-seven\ndollars, which was sufficient to purchase the lumber and pay the\nfreight on it. Two natives and I have put up the building. The\nnatives did most of the work on it, as I could not leave our house\nlong at a time.\"\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nCHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS AMONG THE INDIANS.\n\nF. B. RIGGS.\n\n\nIt will be ten years this February since the first Indian Christian\nEndeavor Society was organized in Santee Normal Training School, at\nSantee, Nebraska.\n\nThe Christian Endeavor movement was rapidly gaining everywhere, and\nit was not long before other societies were started--in the Oahe\nmission school, and the Presbyterian mission school at Sisseton,\nSouth Dakota. Fourteen months later the first Indian Christian\nEndeavor Society was started at Santee.\n\n[Illustration: CHAPEL, SANTEE NORMAL SCHOOL, NEB.\n\nMeeting-place of our Indian Endeavor Society.]\n\n[Illustration: MAMIE DAKA ELDER,\n\n_Pres't Santee Endeavor Soc._]\n\nThis year at Santee the young people's society includes twenty-one\nof the Indian pupils with three or four of the teachers, and there\nare two junior societies, one of girls and one of boys. There is a\nmothers' society, which was started three or four years ago among\nthe women of the mission church. All these societies have an\nimportant place in the Indian mission work.\n\n[Illustration: ETTA R. STAMFORD,\n\n_Sec'y Santee Endeavor Soc._]\n\nIn the young people's society many of the members remain the\nsame from year to year; but during the ten years one hundred and\nthirty-two young people have joined. They have come from eighteen\ndifferent agencies, and in several cases from more than one village\nin the agency. Out of this one-hundred and thirty-two, twenty-three\nhave been engaged, since leaving school, in direct missionary work,\nmost of them as preachers and teachers of day-schools, but a few\nas the wives of such teachers, or as teachers in mission\nboarding-schools or missionary helpers. Some of these have done\nexcellent work, and those of whom this is true are nearly always\nthose who were most faithful and active during their school course\nin the Christian Endeavor Society. Three or four of the most\npromising have died before they had any opportunity to work at their\nhomes, but some of these short lives were so faithful and patient\nthat perhaps they did more good than many longer lives.\n\n[Illustration: SANTEE JUNIOR ENDEAVOR SOCIETY.]\n\nThree other societies have been started among the Indians, where the\nleaders were chiefly from those who had been members at Santee. But\nthe societies not connected with mission schools have been\ntransient, or intermittent in their life. Those at Santee and\nSisseton, and one at Fort Berthold mission school in North Dakota,\nhave lived. A society is to be started at the Omaha Agency soon.\n\n[Illustration: DAVID P. FLYINGHAWK,\n\n_Chair'n Lookout Committee, Santee Endeavor Society_.]\n\n[Illustration: FRED INYANHOKJILA JOHNSON,\n\n_Chair'n Prayer-meeting Committee, Santee Endeavor Soc._]\n\nThe young people's society at Santee has been a training school for\nits members. It has broadened their feeling of Christian fellowship\nwith the great army of fellow Endeavorers. It has given them songs\nthat they enjoy very much. It has increased their interest in\nmissions and deepened their feeling of responsibility for service to\nthe Master.\n\nThe junior work at Santee has been especially encouraging among the\ngirls, who are rather more responsive than the boys. Of the twelve\nlittle girls in the picture, one died last year, but eight are now\nmembers of the senior society.\n\nIn the monthly meetings of the Mothers' Society of Christian\nEndeavor many questions are asked and answered concerning the care\nand training of children, and the children are remembered in prayer.\n\nOne thing, at least, these Christian Endeavor Societies have done.\nThey have emphasized the idea of _endeavor_ and _service_. It\nexpresses itself in the use of a new word, or rather the use of an\nold word a thousand times where it was used once before. The name in\nDakota means \"The society of those who want to work for Jesus,\" and\n\"working for Jesus\" has become a more prominent thought in all their\nreligious life.\n\n[Illustration: KATE WAMNIYOMNIWAJTEWIN FRUH,\n\n_Chair'n Missionary Committee, Santee Endeavor Society_.]\n\n[Illustration: MINNIE WANMLIWIN LAST-HORSE.\n\n_Chair'n Flower Committee, Santee Endeavor Society_.]\n\nLast year a Junior Endeavor Society of Indian girls gave one dollar\nto the Church-Building Society, one dollar to the Education Society,\none dollar to the Dakota Native Missionary Society, and one dollar\nto the American Board. A Junior Endeavor Society of Indian boys gave\none dollar to the American Missionary Association. A Senior Endeavor\nSociety of Indian boys and girls last year gave fourteen dollars to\nthe American Board and three dollars to the Woman's Missionary\nUnion. The Endeavor Society proves, therefore, among the Indian\nboys and girls and young people just what it does everywhere else.\nIt gives them larger views of the kingdom of God, it stimulates them\nto greater sacrifice in giving of their means to the spread of this\nkingdom, and awakens within them deeper spiritual earnestness. The\nlife of a Christian Endeavorer, wherever that life may be spent,\ncannot be a narrow, selfish life, if loyal to the great Christian\nEndeavor idea. This society is an important factor in Christian\nenlargement and quickening among our young people on the prairie.\n\n[Illustration: JUNIOR ENDEAVORERS MAKING A MISSIONARY QUILT.]\n\n       *       *       *       *       *\n\nLINCOLN MEMORIAL SUNDAY.\n\n\nSunday, February 11th, marks this celebration in the calendars of\nour Congregational Sunday-schools.
