XLI. FEBRUARY, 1887. No. 2.\n\n * * * * *\n\n\n\n\nAmerican Missionary Association.\n\n * * * * *\n\n\nWe remind our readers that the National Council and the annual\nmeeting have placed before us a high mark in asking from the\nchurches $350,000 the current year. That sixty per cent. advance\nupon the contributions of last year will not be made without the\nconsciously directed efforts of our friends to secure it. We\nare happy to announce that quite a number of the churches whose\ncontributions have been taken since the annual meeting have made\nthe advance, some of them reaching even a hundred per cent, over\nthe contributions of the preceding year. Let the matter be brought\nto the attention of the churches and kept before them, and they\nwill rise to the occasion. They have both the means and the\ndisposition.\n\n * * * * *\n\nCan you do anything to increase the list of subscribers for THE\nAMERICAN MISSIONARY? That is one way in which you might help us.\nEvery mail brings voluntary testimonials of the high esteem in\nwhich our magazine is held by its readers. We could easily fill\nour pages with extracts. The subscription price is so low\u2014fifty\ncents\u2014that we cannot offer premiums or make reduction for clubs. We\ndo ask, however, for a greatly enlarged increase in subscriptions\non the purely business ground that the magazine is worth the\nsubscription price, and more, too. Can you do anything to help us\nin this direction?\n\n * * * * *\n\nAn Example.\u2014Rev. A. F. Newton, of Marlboro, Mass., one Sunday\nin last December preached to his people on Christian Reading in\nthe home. He circulated among the congregation a list of the\nmissionary magazines and religious papers which, in his judgment,\nought to have a place in every family. THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY,\nof course, was among the number. We presume that other ministers\nhave done substantially the same, but knowledge of Mr. Newton\u2019s\neffort having come to us, we take occasion to specially mention\nit. Our conviction is strong that if all our pastors were to go\nand do likewise, there would be a great increase in the number of\nour subscribers, and during the year corresponding increase in\ncontributions, sympathy and prayer for our work. We commend the\nexample of Mr. Newton to the brethren.\n\n * * * * *\n\nWe regret to say that Rev. J. L. Withrow, D.D., has, in consequence\nof his call to Chicago, sent in his resignation as a member of our\nExecutive Committee, a position that he has held since 1883. Our\nchurches ought to know Dr. Withrow\u2019s fidelity. Once a month he\nmade the journey from Boston to New York in order to attend the\nmeetings. It was very rarely that he was absent. Our good wishes\nand prayers accompany him into his new field in the West.\n\n * * * * *\n\nThe vacancy thus made has been filled by the Executive Committee\nin the unanimous election of Rev. Jas. W. Cooper, D.D., New\nBritain, Conn. Dr. Cooper has kindly consented to serve. He is not\na man willing to accept a position as a mere figure-head, and the\nchurches may be assured that the interests of the Association will\nbe faithfully served by him. He is a man of business and executive\nability in a marked degree, and we shall welcome his counsel and\nwisdom in the administration of the Association\u2019s affairs.\n\n * * * * *\n\nThe Thomasville (Ga.) _Times_ speaks very commendatorially of the\nAmerican Missionary Association\u2019s work in Thomasville. It refers\nwith evident pleasure to the erection of our building for the\nConnecticut Industrial School, and speaks of our missionaries who\nare now carrying on the school in temporary quarters until the new\nbuilding is completed, as follows: \u201cThese ladies are engaged in a\nwork which commends itself to all classes of our citizens. They\nwill receive, as they should, every encouragement and courtesy at\nthe hands of the people of Thomasville.\u201d\n\n * * * * *\n\nThey had a good time at Fisk University, Thanksgiving Day. Sermon\nby Prof. Bennett in the forenoon, athletic sports on the campus\nin the afternoon, and a praise meeting in charge of Pres. Cravath\nin the evening. Dr. Cravath spoke of the university as a family\nin connection with the thought that family reunions were the\ncharacteristic form of observing the Thanksgiving anniversary.\nTestimony of personal reasons for thankfulness were given both by\nteachers and students. One was thankful that after having been\ntwelve years in the university he had at length been led to give\nhimself to the Lord; another, a newcomer, that the way had been\nopened for him to come to Fisk, where he had been received as a\nchild into the family; some for hardships and trials endured,\nothers for what Fisk University had been to them and had done for\nthem. A very fitting and enjoyable observance of the day this was,\ncertainly.\n\n * * * * *\n\nThere are 8,000 liquor saloons in the city of New York. Last year\nthey paid for licenses $600,000. This money, strange to say, is\ndivided up among charitable and reform institutions in the city.\nSaloon keepers pay $600,000 for protection by law, while they carry\nshame, sorrow and ruin to tens of thousands of their fellow-beings.\nSurely the American Missionary Association ought to receive the\n$350,000 asked from the churches, as it tries to carry the Gospel\nto twelve millions of the most neglected and ignorant of our\nAmerican population.\n\n * * * * *\n\n\nOUR ROLL OF HONOR.\n\nAccording to custom, we publish this month a list of our mission\nstations and the names of the missionaries. It furnishes a fruitful\nfield in which to glean valuable information. A glance at it shows\nthe magnitude of our work. There are 215 stations, in charge of\n422 workers. Each station is a centre at which mission work is\norganized for all the region round about. To him who scans it\ncarefully the list reveals the variety of the work. It is both\nevangelistic and educational. Church planting and building;\nSunday-school work; primary, normal, industrial, collegiate and\nprofessional training, are all represented, because the people need\nto be instructed in everything secular, social and religious, that\npertains to civilized life and well-ordered society.\n\nIf facts and incidents in the lives of individual missionaries and\nin the development of work at specified points are ascertained\n(consult back numbers of THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY) and brought into\nthe public meeting, interest cannot fail to be awakened; nor will\nthe interest be evanescent; it will go home with the people; it\nwill stay with them; it will secure a place in their thought and\nprayer; it will get into the contribution box; it will reach the\nfield.\n\nSome of the stations, by reason of special agencies, as, for\nexample, Fisk University, have become well known; but for the\ngreater part they are indefinitely thought of in the mass. The same\nis true of the missionaries. Only a few of them are widely known.\nYet in their isolation, bearing obloquy and reproach for their\nwork\u2019s sake, misjudged as to their character and mission, even by\nChristian ministers and church members who keep aloof from their\nacquaintance and fellowship, it is natural that they should crave\nthe expressed sympathy of those they represent. It would lighten\ntheir burdens and brighten their path to feel that they are known\nand remembered by name in the churches at home.\n\nThere is one thing to be noted which a mere study of the list does\nnot reveal, and that is: our missionaries are a very happy band.\nDespite the discouragements and trials incident to their work,\nthey are neither cast down nor discouraged. On this point their\ntestimony is strong and continuous. They have the joy of their\nLord\u2019s presence and the sustaining power of His almighty grace. \u201cI\nwill never leave thee, nor forsake thee,\u201d has become the gladsome\nsong of their hearts.\n\nThey are happy, too, in the knowledge that they have so many\nfriends and such generous supporters. The fact that the list of\ntheir names is so long proves to them that their work has taken a\nlarge hold upon the churches. The fact that contributions come from\nso many churches and individuals, in amount sufficient to maintain\nso great a work as the Association is carrying forward, is a\ndemonstration that they have the love and hearty support of tens of\nthousands, some of whom make large sacrifices to contribute as they\ndo. They know that there are thousands who eloquently plead their\ncause and defend their good name before the public, and on bended\nknee remember them and their work at the Throne of Grace.\n\nThey are happy, also, in the knowledge that they are loved and\nhonored by those for whom they labor. Father Riggs was almost\nworshipped by the Indians who knew him. E. A. Ware is a sainted\nname that thousands of colored people, young and old, are ready\nto rise up and honor, and whose very mention is an inspiration in\ntheir hearing.\n\nWe recall to our readers words spoken by Prof. W. A. Crogman,\nhimself a fine specimen of the Christian scholar and thinker such\nas his race is capable of producing under Christian training. We\nquote from an address he made two years ago Thanksgiving Day,\nbefore the Atlanta University, of which school he is a graduate:\n\u201cIf I were asked to-day what one thing since the close of the war\nhas contributed most to the permanent prosperity of the South, I\nunhesitatingly answer, Christian charity. When the victorious army\nof the North was passing in review before President Johnson in the\nstreets of Washington, another army, vastly inferior in numbers,\nimbued with a different spirit, and armed with no other weapons\nthan the Bible and the spelling-book, was marching under the eye\nof God down into this very field from which Grant and Sherman had\nbut recently withdrawn. Silently came they into the field. There\nwas no heralding of their approach, no display. Hopefully came they\ninto the field, notwithstanding they knew that to the majority of\nthe people their presence would be obnoxious. They came with faith\nin God and love for man. They came, impelled by Christian duty and\npatriotism, to wage a new war against the more deadly enemies of\nthe Republic\u2014ignorance and vice. I am thankful to-day for the pen\nof Lincoln and for the sword of Grant, but more thankful, by far,\nfor the patient \u2018schoolma\u2019am\u2019 who taught the negro his letters and\nset a million of us to reading.\u201d\n\nLet our Roll of Honor be studied, and let its history and memory\nbe made known among the churches. It is abundantly worthy, and in\nresults will repay with rich reward.\n\n * * * * *\n\n\u201cWhile practicing law a number of years ago,\u201d says Judge Tourgee,\n\u201cI had a peculiar will case. An old lady who was a slaveholder,\ndying, bequeathed her colored man, John, and her dusky maid, Jane,\nwho sustained to each other the relation of husband and wife, to\nthe trustees of the church, to be used as far as possible for the\n\u2018glory of God.\u2019 I was curious to know what course was taken, and\nupon investigation found that, after meditation and prayer, the\npious trustees sold their living legacy at auction, and with the\nproceeds sent a missionary to China.\u201d\n\n * * * * *\n\n\nThe New England Society of New York celebrated Forefathers\u2019 Day\nDecember 22d. There was one feature of this anniversary of special\ninterest to the readers of the MISSIONARY. It was a speech by Mr.\nH. W. Grady, editor of the Atlanta _Constitution_. Mr. Grady is a\nrepresentative Southerner of the progressive type. His theme was\nThe New South, and he handled it in such a way as to elicit the\nheartiest applause and the warmest commendation from those who\nheard him. Of course he could not speak on such a theme without\nhaving a good deal to say about the negro. We give the following\nextracts:\n\n\u201cBut what is the sum of our work? We have found out that in the\ngeneral summing up the free negro counts more than he did as a\nslave. We have planted the schoolhouse on the hill-top and made it\nfree to white and black.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe relations of the Southern people with the negro are close and\ncordial. We remember with what fidelity for four years he guarded\nour defenseless women and children, whose husbands and fathers were\nfighting against his freedom. To his eternal credit be it said that\nwhenever he struck a blow for his own liberty he fought in open\nbattle, and when at last he raised his black and humble hands that\nthe shackles might be struck off, those hands were innocent of\nwrong against his helpless charges and worthy to be taken in loving\ngrasp by every man who honors loyalty and devotion.\u201d\n\n\u201cBut have we solved the problem he presents or progressed in honor\nand equity towards its solution? Let the record speak to this\npoint. No section shows a more prosperous laboring population\nthan the negroes of the South, none in fuller sympathy with the\nemploying and land-owning class. He shares our school fund, has the\nfullest protection of our laws and the friendship of our people.\nSelf-interest as well as honor demand that he should have this.\nOur future, our very existence, depend upon our working out this\nproblem in full and exact justice. We understand that when Lincoln\nsigned the emancipation proclamation, your victory was assured,\nfor he then committed you to the cause of human liberty against\nwhich the arms of man cannot prevail, while those of our statesmen\nwho made slavery the corner-stone of the Confederacy, doomed us to\ndefeat, committing us to a cause that reason could not defend or\nthe sword maintain in the light of advancing civilization.\u201d\n\n\u201cWe fought hard enough to know that we were whipped, and in perfect\nfrankness accepted as final the arbitrament of the sword to which\nwe had appealed. The South found her jewel in a toad\u2019s head. The\nshackles that had held her in narrow limitations fell forever when\nthe shackles of the negro slave were broken. Under the old r\u00e9gime\nthe negroes were slaves to the South, the South was a slave to the\nsystem. Thus was gathered in the hands of a splendid and chivalric\noligarchy the substance that should have been diffused among the\npeople, as the rich blood is gathered at the heart, filling that\nwith affluent rapture, but leaving the body chill and colorless.\u201d\n\nWhen Mr. Grady said, \u201cWe have planted the school house on the\nhill-top and made it free to white and black,\u201d he must have had in\nmind the Atlanta University, for he knows all about that school.\nThe $8,000 a year appropriated from the State justly entitles the\nGeorgians to regard Atlanta University as a State school. But\nwhence comes the money necessary to supplement this appropriation,\nto meet current expenses? Whence came the $150,000, and more, that\nhave gone into the fine grounds, buildings and equipments? From\nNew Englanders and children of New Englanders in the West, through\nthe American Missionary Association. Mr. Grady must have known\nthese facts. He knew that New England brains conceived the school,\nthat New England money planted it, that New Englanders have always\nbeen, and are, its teachers, what sacrifices they have made, what\nsocial ostracism endured, what splendid work they have done and\nare doing. He knows from personal inspection the superiority of\nthat school, and that this superiority has frequently been spoken\nof in the columns of the able paper of which he is the editor. He\nknows that the munificent funds bearing the names of Slater and\nPeabody were given by New Englanders. All these things, and more\nin the same direction, Mr. Grady knows, and yet in the presence\nof New Englanders and in the city where are the headquarters of\nthe American Missionary Association, he did not make the faintest\nreference in recognition. It is said his speech was extemporaneous.\nNevertheless was it not unfortunate that upon such an occasion he\nfailed to give honor to whom honor is due?\n\n * * * * *\n\n\nThe Freedmen\u2019s Aid Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church\nrecently opened a University for white students in Chattanooga,\nTenn. Some colored students applied for admission. They were\nrefused, but this was not the end. A colored minister, Rev. B.\nH. Johnson, pastor of one of the Methodist Episcopal Churches of\nChattanooga, meeting Professor Caulkins of the university in\na store, offered him his hand, but as it was a black hand the\nprofessor would not accept it. That would have been a recognition\nof \u201csocial equality.\u201d The colored brother felt, and felt justly,\nthat he had been insulted. When knowledge of the insult reached the\nExecutive Committee of the Freedmen\u2019s Aid Society, whose funds in\nlarge part built and support the university, steps were immediately\ntaken to learn the exact facts in the case. They moved cautiously\nand wisely, that no wrong should be done and that no unjust\njudgment should be pronounced, and when they had made a thorough\nexamination of the whole case, heard from both sides and from all\nsides, they voted that through the trustees of the university the\nprofessor be asked to resign at once. The Executive Committee\nhas done right and should have the cordial backing of the entire\nMethodist Church. A mistake was made when the colored students were\nrefused admission. No matter if they were hired by wicked white men\nto go and force the issue. All the more should an issue be met when\nforced by such people. Better that a millstone be hanged around the\nneck of the institution and that it be drowned in the midst of the\nsea than that it be made an occasion of offense to one of Christ\u2019s\nlittle ones. Christ is in the world in the person of these little\nones, and he who insults them insults _Him_, and he who insults Him\ninsults all who love Him.\n\n * * * * *\n\n\nWe take the following extracts from a letter received by Dr.\nStrieby from our good friend, Mr. Robert Arthington, of Leeds,\nEngland. As a little mirror, showing \u201courselves as ithers see\nus,\u201d it has special significance. We have often thought that\nthe indifference of the Christian people of this country to the\nquestion of the salvation of the Indians was a sad spectacle for\nour brethren in other lands to look upon. Would that the churches\nmight be made to feel this:\n\n \u201cDEAR DR. STRIEBY\u2014I trust the \u2018missionary laugh\u2019 will, by the\n great mercy of God, \u2018never come on the air by my side.\u2019 Oh,\n that it might be so with all real Christians.\n\n \u201cIn the November MISSIONARY the Indians are mentioned. I am\n at this moment intensely desirous that the Indians of the\n South American continent should be reached by the Gospel\n message. This appears to me to be very difficult, sadly, sadly\n difficult. But the case in the North American continent seems\n to me to be altogether different. There, as it regards your\n part, is a government, and a people, which and who approve of\n all men\u2019s reading the Christian Scriptures. Grand, glorious, if\n only they would be more practical. Why does not the Government\n at once solve the problem by sending persons well fitted for\n the purpose to teach each tribe to read? Then when they can\n read, the American Bible Society might introduce extensively\n to the whole of the Indian tribes in the United States the\n inestimably precious word of God.\n\n \u201cFor goodness\u2019 sake, if not for God\u2019s sake, O, Americans, arise\n and do this necessary thing. There is no time to be lost. You\n have \u201cheaped teachers\u201d to yourselves, and you leave these poor\n men and women, as worthy as yourselves, except real Christians,\n to their darkness, devoid of the light, joy and infinite good\n beyond description of a personal intimate knowledge of the\n sacred Christian Scriptures.\u201d\n\n * * * * *\n\n\n\n\nTHE FIELD.\n\n1886-1887.\n\n\nThe following list presents the names and post-office addresses of\nthose who are employed in the Churches, Institutions and Schools\naided by the American Missionary Association.\n\n\nTHE SOUTH.\n\n WASHINGTON, D.C.\n\n THEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT, HOWARD UNIVERSITY.\n Rev.

RYDER.\n\nThe romantic, pathetic and comical jumble themselves together in\na strange medley in these field experiences. But each experience\nillustrates some phase in missionary work, or italicizes its\nimportance. We drop into a mountain cabin and there find the\nusual inmates of such mountain homes\u2014a pale-faced, tired-looking\nwoman, with the \u201cold woman in the shoe\u201d sort of family. The oldest\nof the children is a girl of eighteen. She informs us, during a\nconversation, that she \u201c_has never seen a book_.\u201d She modifies this\nstatement a bit by adding: \u201cI \u2019low thayr war one \u2019fore grandmam\ndied, but I plumb forgot how it looked.\u201d Think of it! A girl\neighteen years old, in the heart of this country, which boasts\nitself in its educational advantages, who did not know what a book\nlooked like! What more pathetic appeal can be offered in behalf of\nthis mountain work than this fact presents?\n\nThe ignorance of the preachers is often as painfully evident as\nthat of the people. A friend residing in this region told me that\nhe had often been asked by the preacher to read his text for him\nat the church service, the preacher adding: \u201cI thank God I cannot\nread; the Spirit teaches me.\u201d This preacher was white.\n\n * * * * *\n\nHere is a case of genuine civil service reform: A member of an A.\nM. A. church was requested by the committee of his party to run\nfor Congress. He declined unless they would pledge themselves that\nno money nor _whiskey_ should be used to influence voters. The\ncommittee replied that this could not be done, as it would lose\nthem the election. \u201cVery well,\u201d said this mountain nobleman, \u201cthen\nyou must get another candidate.\u201d In speaking of the circumstance\nto this friend, I told him that all his friends rejoiced in the\nstand he had taken, and that the A. M. A. appreciated the honor\nhe had conferred upon it by his loyalty to political honesty, but\nthat the country needed such men in Congress as he was. He laid\nhis hand on my shoulder and replied: \u201cIt was no great sacrifice; I\nreally believe I would rather go to a good prayer-meeting than to\nCongress.\u201d\n\n * * * * *\n\nWe jog along and come to a little slab meeting-house, just built\nat considerable self-denial and persistent begging on the part of\na few colored Christians. An old brother was called upon to pray\nat the opening of the service. This was one sentence in his quaint\nprayer: \u201cOh, Lord, bless our brother, and give him a pennyroyal\ntongue.\u201d But it is not so foolish a petition, after all. Pennyroyal\nis an herb growing abundantly in that region, and is used for\nointments and salves; it is healing, it soothes irritations, heals\nold hurts, reduces inflammations. That is the sort of a tongue a\nmissionary superintendent needs. I fancy, also, many pastors would\nsometimes rejoice in the possession of such a tongue. I doubt if\nour colored brother could read, but he had in some way learned\nSolomon\u2019s secret: \u201cThe tongue of the wise is health.\u201d\n\n * * * * *\n\nThe A. M. A. has no school now at Louisville, Ky., but the pastor\nand lady missionary wisely plan for the instruction of those who\ndo not enjoy school privileges. Coming in upon them one Saturday\nafternoon, I found a motley group of children, ranging from six\nto sixteen years of age, gathered in the Sunday-school room of\nthe church. I learned that it was the Industrial Class, which met\nregularly twice a week. In a little closet in one corner all sorts\nof second-hand clothing were stored. These garments are sent down\nby good people of the North, and are made over in this Industrial\nclass. While the children were busy in cutting, fitting and sewing,\ntheir teacher gave them useful lessons in Bible texts and truths;\nsensible suggestions for every-day life, or rudimentary lessons\nin arithmetic, geography and grammar. To many in these classes\nthis instruction is all they get during the year, and no one can\nestimate its value. Indeed, the A. M. A. churches are usually a\nsort of information bureau to the congregations.\n\nThe pastor of one church which I recently visited said to his\npeople: \u201cSome of you cannot read; all of you are very busy and find\nit difficult to get time to read; so I have concluded to give you a\nbrief review of the week\u2019s news each Sabbath evening.\u201d He then read\na summary of events relating to education, temperance, religion and\npolitics. Thus these churches are training the people to a wise\nexercise of their citizenship.\n\n * * * * *\n\nThe three theological students from Fisk University who were\nordained at the State Association in Nashville, in November, find\nready opportunity to prove \u201ctheir calling\u201d by preaching in the\nchurch at Goodlettsville. This church was organized last year, and\nhas not yet secured a settled pastor.\n\n * * * * *\n\nRev. John Kershaw, who was recently appointed General Missionary\nof the A. M. A. in the Cumberland Mountains, reports twenty-one\nhopeful conversions as the result of a series of meetings held\nby himself and Bro. Barton, of Robbins. So the work goes forward\nencouragingly in Scott County. The large army of men who poured\ninto this region during the construction of the Cincinnati\nSouthern R. R., have moved on. The vast number of drinking places\nthis unsettled multitude created a demand for has been greatly\nreduced. Society has settled to its normal condition. _Now is\nour opportunity._ Let us plant churches, strengthen and multiply\nSunday-schools, establish Christian schools, and thus keep out\nsaloons and places of evil resort. It is always easier to keep the\ndevil out than to get him out.\n\n * * * * *\n\nMany of our A. M. A. Sunday-schools are rejoicing in new libraries,\nthe gifts of the \u201cCongregational S. S. and Publishing Society,\u201d and\nthe \u201cWestern Tract and Book Society.\u201d The thoughtful Secretaries of\nthese societies have the hearty thanks of the field workers.\n\n * * * * *\n\n\nCHRISTMAS AT McINTOSH, GA.\n\nChristmas came at the end of a series of revival services which\nhave been held here with encouraging results, some forty young\npeople professing to find Christ precious to their souls, a number\nof whom will be after due care and examination received into church\nmembership. The members, too, have been cheered and helped in their\nChristian life, and have resolved to be more fully consecrated\nto God\u2019s service. We commenced the day with a short service at\n6:30 a.m., when we had a little talk on the topic, \u201cThe Birth of\nChrist.\u201d At 9 o\u2019clock the schoolchildren assembled with parents\nand friends to the number of four-hundred or more, to undertake\ntheir exercises, which were very satisfactory, doing great credit\nto the teachers. Hymns appropriate for the occasion were gone\nthrough admirably in the church, which had been gaily decorated\nwith evergreens, palmetto grass, redberries and moss, the Christmas\ntree being a most conspicuous object, heavily laden with all kinds\nof good things. The distribution of the various articles followed,\nand all, both young and old, received a gift. They then turned\nout, _en masse_, after singing \u201cPraise God from whom all blessings\nflow,\u201d into the school grounds, where their happiness reached its\nheight, the people witnessing some good old fashioned English games\nundertaken by the boys, including flat-race, three-legged race and\nsack-racing, (which caused no end of merriment) running high leap\nand pole-leaping. The girls, too, were delightfully entertained\nby the teachers\u2019 partaking in corresponding games, which were\nenhanced by the strains from the brass band in attendance. Later\nin the afternoon fourteen persons, including Rev. Floyd Snelson,\nthe teachers, and others, started upon an eight-mile drive. A halt\nwas made at McIntosh proper, where holiday festivities were being\nindulged in by a large number, I am sorry to say, to the detriment\nof all present. Whilst waiting to give the horses rest, it was\nplain to be seen that whiskey had been freely partaken of both by\nmale and female, and a disturbance arose in which we could see from\nthe distance the excited people fighting, the women taking the most\nprominent part. At another settlement on the other side of us, we\nheard there had been disturbances mainly caused by the \u201cfire-water\u201d\ndrinkers. As I stood looking on, I could not but thank God for the\ncontrast, so plainly set before me in the day\u2019s proceedings, and\nto bless God for the work and workers, whose influence is at least\nfelt for miles around, both among old and young, whom they have\nunder their training. I cannot speak too highly of the teachers\nhere, although my acquaintance with them has only been of three\nweeks\u2019 duration; yet travelling about as I do both in England and\nAmerica I have learned to form some idea of work in my Master\u2019s\ncause, and say that the work here is worthy of the sympathy and\nprayers of all God\u2019s children, on both sides of the water, on\nbehalf of these once downtrodden sons of Africa.\n\nMiss Plimpton has in her class-room 72 scholars, Miss Robertson\n74 and Miss Dox 84, Miss Cutler taking the responsibility in a\ngreat measure of the household duties. They are taxed to the very\nutmost of their strength and have turned away between fifty and\nsixty children, who would gladly walk many miles each day, if they\ncould be accommodated. The Bible readings at some of the sisters\u2019\nhouses, held twice a week, and also the Bible instruction and\nsociety meetings which are held at the teachers\u2019 home, are all\nundertaken after school hours, so that an idea can be formed as\nto the exceedingly heavy task bearing upon them, but the promise\nis still as certain to-day as of old, \u201cAs thy day so shall thy\nstrength be.\u201d Towards sun-down the young folks began to scatter to\ntheir respective homes, everybody seeming to be delighted with the\nday\u2019s proceedings, and wishing in their hearts that Christmas day\ncame once a month.\n\nJAMES WHARTON, Evangelist.\n\n * * * * *\n\n\n\n\nTHE INDIANS.\n\n * * * * *\n\n\nFIRST IMPRESSIONS OF SANTEE.\n\nBY MISS EDITH LEONARD.\n\nAn outside view of any community is always different from an inside\nview, yet both may be true. I am going to try to give you some of\nthe impressions I received of the Santee school, during the first\ndays that I spent here, before I began to feel that I was a part of\nit.\n\nThe teachers and scholars were just returning after vacation. The\nteachers seemed especially happy in meeting the scholars and one\nanother, and beginning work again. I had never known a company of\npeople with so much care who seemed so light hearted and hopeful,\nand I thought \u201cThey love their work.\u201d\n\nThe boys and girls seemed happy, too, and when I looked at their\nfaces in the chapel and met them later in the home and school, I\nfound in many of them a gentleness and frankness, a trustfulness\nand willingness to be taught, that surprised me. I had looked for\nless of these qualities than in white children, but I found more\nthan would be found in most white schools.\n\nTheir reverence and attention in church, too, was in striking\ncontrast with what I have seen in many places where the children\nseem to take no part in the worship. These children always take\nthe attitude of devotion during prayer, and sit quietly and\nwith serious demeanor through three or four services on Sunday.\nThey seem to enjoy it, too, even when there is a part that they\nimperfectly understand, on account of the use of two languages in\nthese services. They love Bible stories and hymns, and accept what\nthey are taught concerning religious things, with a simplicity that\nI have been used to finding only in the youngest. Perhaps it is\nbecause they are so shut in by themselves here. They know little\nof the indifference or half concealed hostility to religious truth\nthat is so common in larger communities, even among those who\nattend church regularly.\n\nDuring the first weeks here, while our windows were constantly\nopen, I was struck by the amount of singing I heard. From more\nthan one of the houses where the scholars live I could hear the\nhymn sung at morning prayers; then came the voices of the school\nin their opening exercises, and later of the music classes. Beside\nthis we often heard the boys and girls singing in recreation hours\nfor pleasure, and again at night before retiring, their evening\nhymn. The sacred words and the young voices could not fail to bring\ngood thoughts, and I was reminded of Luther\u2019s saying, \u201cThe devil\nalways flies from music, especially sacred music, because he is a\ngloomy spirit, and cannot bear joy and gladness.\u201d\n\nI am conscious that after three months here I see many things in a\ndifferent light from that in which I first saw them. I have learned\nthat there are some peculiar hindrances to teaching the Indians,\nso that it is by no means always easy. I have learned, also, that\nthe teachers, with all their happiness in their work, see enough\nof sickness and ignorance and evil many times to make their hearts\nache.\n\nYet the cheerful view I received at first was not a false one.\nThere is more to make one sad here than in many other places, but\nthere is also much to make one glad. There is the constant contact\nwith young life, the opportunity to see how much the every-day\nblessings of home and school are worth to those who have not had\nthem, the sympathy that comes from a common purpose frankly avowed,\nand in addition there are abundant opportunities and favorable\nconditions for teaching these boys and girls to love Christ, and to\nfeel concerning themselves,\n\n \u201cHe\u2019s fitting us to enter\n Into His service sweet.\u201d\n\nI think nearly all who are here, both teachers and scholars,\nfeel that this lonely little cluster of buildings away off on an\nIndian reservation, is, for them, one of the best places the earth\ncontains.\n\n * * * * *\n\n\n\n\nTHE CHINESE.\n\n * * * * *\n\nBY REV. W. C. POND.\n\n\n \u201cA great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are\n many adversaries.\u201d\u20141 _Cor_., xvi, 9.\n\nWhat Paul experienced at Ephesus, we find to be true in our humble\nwork among the Chinese in California. We are grateful that the door\nis open, and that it is as great and as effectual as it is. We\ncannot deny that there are also \u201cmany adversaries.\u201d\n\nOur Chinese brethren think that some of these, among their\nown countrymen, and even among the pupils in our schools, are\npeculiarly annoying. Jee Gam was telling me, a few days since, of\nan experience with one of these, which I asked him to write out for\nthe readers of THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY:\n\n\u201cSeveral months ago, while Mrs. Lamont, Gin Foo King and myself,\nwere busily engaged in teaching the other scholars at the Barnes\nschool, our attention was diverted by the voice of one who was not\nstudying, but talking aloud. He was a pompous fellow, who, though\nhe is only a servant, dresses like a very rich man. Working for $16\nper month, he wears a purple figured silk coat and a gold bracelet.\nHe puts on the appearance, in the school-room, of high breeding and\ngreat learning. As we listened to him, this is what we heard: \u2018What\ndoctrine have the foreigners? They have no duty between Emperor\nand officials, parents and children, elder and younger brother,\nhusband and wife, or even between friends; but we, Chinese, are\ntaught by our great sage, Confucius. His teaching on these duties\nis above all that men ever taught on earth. The foreigner has not\nthe son of heaven (meaning the Emperor). When he is 21 years old\nhe leaves his home and thinks no more of his parents; not only so,\nbut leaves them to take care of themselves. The husband lends his\nwife to his friends, who walk with her arm in arm on the street.\nThe way of courtship and marriage is like that of beasts. He knows\nno politeness, no integrity, no modesty, and no shame; in fact,\nall foreigners are barbarians. Confucius said: \u201cI have heard of\nbarbarians becoming Chinese, but have never heard of Chinese\nbecoming barbarians.\u201d\u2019 He continued at length in that way. Gin Foo\nKing and I listened till patience failed us. \u2018Where did you get\nyour knowledge about the foreigners?\u2019 I asked. \u2018What do you know of\nthe Bible?\u2019 He gave no answer. \u2018Who are these people that Confucius\ncalled barbarians? Were they Americans, or English, or Germans?\nWould you take your teacher, Mrs. Lamont, for a barbarian? Would\nyou claim that you are more enlightened than she?\u2019 I then explained\nto him that those whom Confucius called barbarians were people\nwithin the Chinese Empire; his China was a small country, covering\nonly a few of the present central provinces, and all the people\noutside that district were esteemed to be barbarians. There were\nno Americans when he lived, and as to English and Germans, he knew\nnothing about them. He did not call _them_ barbarians.\u201d\n\nWhen the pupils heard this, they laughed at the pretentious\nscholar. Since then he does not loudly and boastfully contend; at\nleast, in our presence; but I have reason to think that he works\nagainst us privately. We pray for him, and we hope that God will\nanswer our prayers and open his eyes and change his heart, so that\nhe may see the beauty and the excellence there is in Christ.\n\nOur brethren are justified in praying for such adversaries. Some\nyears ago one who had (for the sake of learning English) been very\nconstant at the Oakland school, on becoming a Christian confessed\nthat for months he had carried a pistol in his pocket, determined,\nif he could with safety, to shoot Jee Gam because of his zeal\nin leading his countrymen to Christ. We did not labor for that\n\u201cadversary\u201d in vain.\n\nAnother was formerly a constant attendant at the Bethany school,\nand a constant student of the New Testament. But it was in search\nof material with which to counteract the influence of helpers and\nteachers, and hold his fellow pupils firm to the ancestral faith.\nAmong other passages he came upon that one in Matt. ix, 17, which\nspeaks of the new wine in old bottles. It served his purpose\nadmirably. \u201cChina,\u201d he said, \u201cis an old bottle, very old; you must\nnot put this new doctrine into it; it will burst.\u201d But Hong Sing,\nwho was then a member of this school, answered him well: \u201cIt is not\nChina that is old and weak, but our heathen customs of worshipping\nancestors and buying luck at the shrine of Joss, etc., etc. Put the\ndoctrine of Christ into these and it will burst them certainly; but\nput it into China, and it will make her stronger and fairer than\never.\u201d\n\nOne Sunday evening, sitting in my study, preparing for our evening\nservice, while the Chinese Sunday-school was going on in an\nadjoining room, I overheard some Chinaman vigorously exhorting the\npupils. I went out to see who it was. It was this \u201cadversary.\u201d I\nasked what he was saying. \u201cHe is telling us,\u201d a pupil replied,\n\u201cthat he has found out that Jesus is the true God and only Saviour,\nand asking us all to believe in Him.\u201d\n\n * * * * *\n\n\n\n\nBUREAU OF WOMAN\u2019S WORK.\n\n * * * * *\n\n\nA WEEK AT A NORMAL SCHOOL.\n\nA visitor at one of our normal schools in the South asked the\nprincipal for a schedule of a week\u2019s work, _outside_ of the regular\nschool duties. The visitor reports this school to be equal to\nNorthern schools of the same grade and one where the aim is not\nonly to promote good scholarship but also to develop earnest and\nintelligent Christian character.\n\nSCHEDULE.\n\n Sunday, 9 A.

Only _Taute_ was left to keep us straight. We had run\nthrough the list and done most everything, except going swimming\nand the pillow-fight. There were still several raw September days\nto be disposed of.\n\nPutting the play-room to rights one day, our throats just ached for\nchocolate creams. We would make Taute pay so much a sight of the\nplay-room in apple-pie order. Taute would not be taxed, but would\nlike some jumping-jacks and nuns for her little Oahe girls, and we\ncould come by our chocolate creams honestly.\n\nIt would be hard to tell how it all came about, for one said one\nthing and one another, until out of all the Babel and confusion we\ndecided on a fair, a real missionary fair. How our tongues wagged\nwhile our fingers flew! How the jumping-jacks multiplied, and\nthe sedate little nuns came trooping forth each with prayer-book\nand rosary, after whole families of pert-looking acorn dolls!\nAs by magic the bright bits of paper grew into kites, mats and\nbook-markers, and pen-wipers and pin-cushions; how could one have a\nfair without them!\n\nThe day came at last. We had from Thursday evening until the next\nMonday afternoon. (What a trying day Sunday was. Do you think it\nwas very, very wicked counting our jacks and nuns, and seeing how\nmuch they would bring?)\n\nThe dining-room table Mamma let us have, and a string running\nacross the room made a splendid trapeze, where the nuns flirted\nand danced with their jacks, the tea-kettles bubbled and the acorn\nbaskets turned somersaults. Oh! \u2019twas just shocking! And the acorn\ndolls that kept watch over the fancy articles didn\u2019t behave a bit\nbetter. They bowed and curtseyed until their heads bobbed off. Even\nthe brave potato-man, who was marshal of the day, could scarcely\nsit still on his potato-horse. Perhaps they felt good because they\nwere going to raise the A. M. A. debt.\n\nAnd it was just as Mabel and Olive had said: Miss Haynes did buy a\njack and Miss Leonard a nun, and Miss Ilsley and Miss Pratt both\ntook dolls. Then those who had jacks wanted nuns and those who had\nnuns must have jacks, and no one could resist the acorn dolls,\ntheir heads rolled off so easily. Our buttonhole bouquets, too,\nwere just one cent, and little Ruthie Chadbourne\u2019s papa and mamma\nthought missionary candy very good for her, so they bought ever so\nmany little scallop-shells full at five cents apiece.\n\nMiss Hunter, of Greenwood, was here, and had to buy out of\npoliteness, and when it was all over Mamma bought us out\u2014that was,\nwe are quite sure, out of kindness. We had forgotten to say that\nFather and Mother had come home. They had to come to help buy the\nthings, you see. Now that it is all over, we want you should know\nwhat a happy time we had, and send you our pennies to raise the\ndebt with. Your friends and co-workers,\n\n THREE LITTLE RIGGS CHILDREN\n AND THEIR THREE RIGGS-WARNER COUSINS.\n\nP.
