NO. 2\n\n * * * * *\n\n\n\n\nAmerican Missionary Association.\n\n * * * * *\n\n\nA portion of this number of the AMERICAN MISSIONARY is filled with\na complete list of the names of the persons appointed for the\ncurrent year to the missionary fields at home and abroad where\nthis Association carries on its work. The work and the workers are\nearnestly commended to the sympathies and prayers of the disciples\nof the Lord everywhere.\n\n * * * * *\n\n\nTHAT THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS.\n\nIt is needed, and that is just why we fixed upon the amount. We are\nnot seeking to put forth a single effort or to carry out a solitary\nmeasure not strenuously demanded by the circumstances. We think\nProvidence has plainly indicated to us that we should enlarge our\noperations at some points and inaugurate new work at other points.\nOf this we have been doubly assured by proffered gifts for specific\nwork that needed greatly to be done.\n\nWe have accepted the gifts in faith, fully aware that by so doing\nwe have placed ourselves under greater obligations than ever. If\nGod, however, has moved upon the hearts of good people to provide\nbuildings and funds for aggressive missionary endeavors, is it\nnot evident that He designs to sustain the work in its proper\ndevelopment? His promises and providences surely warrant us in this\nbelief. The funds needful for carrying out the Lord\u2019s plans can be\nsecured. Our concern is to understand and perform what we ought to\ndo to obtain them.\n\nWe make our appeal, first, to the churches. Is this Association on\nyour list of charities, and does it receive attention at least once\na year? Do you take the collection for it in the best way? Do you\ngive it a place in the monthly concert? Is it remembered in the\nSabbath School?\n\nWe appeal, secondly, to individuals. When you provide for the\ncharities of the year, do you make a liberal provision for the\nredemption of the colored races in our land? Do you keep in\nmind their relations to the highest welfare of the country? Do\nyou remember what part the negroes and Chinamen may take in the\nconversion of Africa and China? May we not rely upon your gifts\neven by hundreds and thousands as the months go on? We want that\nthree hundred thousand dollars; and nothing is more sure than\nthat it will come, provided churches in their several capacities,\nand individuals in their large-hearted benevolence, will respond\npromptly and prayerfully, according to their ability. If men and\nwomen are ready to enter the dens of darkness and sin, to baffle\nand destroy not the troublesome wolf\u2014like young Putnam in our\nnation\u2019s early history\u2014but Satan and his wicked devices, surely we\nought to be willing to furnish and hold the ropes.\n\n * * * * *\n\n\nTHE NASHVILLE CONFERENCE.\n\nA Conference of officers and workers of the American Missionary\nAssociation was held at Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn., Dec. 26\nand 27. There were present ex-Gov. Washburn, of Massachusetts, the\nrecently elected President of the Association; Rev. W. H. Ward,\nD.D., and C. L. Mead, Esq., of New York, members of the Executive\nCommittee; Sec. Strieby, and Dr. Roy, Field Secretary. The teaching\nforce was represented by Pres. Cravath and Prof. Spence, of\nNashville, Tenn.; Pres. Ware and Prof. Farnham, of Atlanta, Ga.;\nPres. DeForest and Prof. Andrews, of Talladega, Ala.; Pres. Pope\nand Prof. Hatch, of Tougaloo, Miss.; Pres. Alexander and Prof.\nJewett, of New Orleans, La.; Prof. Wright, of Savannah, Ga.; Prof.\nGordon, of Charleston, S.C.; Prof. Steele, of Memphis, Tenn.; Prof.\nHodge, of Macon, Ga.; and Rev. O. D. Crawford, of Mobile, Ala. Gen.\nArmstrong, of Hampton, Va., and Pres. Fairchild, of Berea, Ky.,\nthough not directly connected with the Association, were present by\ninvitation and added largely to the interest of the gathering.\n\nThe meeting was convened to consider the whole educational work\nof the Association in the South\u2014with a view to its unity and\nefficiency. Many of the teachers present had been long in the\nservice and brought to the discussion the benefits of large\nexperience and wide observation in regard to the educational\naptitudes and progress of the colored people.\n\nAmong the results were\n\n1. That while the mass of this race must be educated for the\ncommon walks of life, yet a competent number must be trained as\nleaders in their progress; and as essential thereto, they need\nmany a Moses and many an Aaron, and these must be of their own\nrace. For these the best facilities ought to be furnished, and\nsuch facilities should be near at hand. Statistics were presented\nshowing that at the West as well as at the South the students in\nthe colleges were from the immediate vicinity. Many a young man\ngets a thorough education when the college is near who never would\nget it if the college were distant. This is especially true of the\ncolored student, who can find work or teaching and cheap board near\nhome, which he could not find at a distance, to say nothing of the\nexpense of travel. In view of the facts, the Conference recommended\nto the Association to strengthen the college departments in\nAtlanta and Fisk, and introduce college studies in Talladega and\nStraight as fast as the means and the fit student material would\njustify.\n\n2. It was shown that more and better theological instruction is\nneeded for the Freedmen. No race can rise without an intelligent\nministry. The young colored people of the present generation have\nhad some education themselves and demand better educated ministers,\nand the half million of children now in school will contemn\nreligion or become infidels if left to the teachings of ignorant\npulpits. The Association was asked by the Conference to establish,\nin addition to the Theological Department in Howard University, a\nTheological Seminary further South, as soon as practicable, and to\nsustain in efficiency the Theological Departments at Talladega and\nStraight.\n\n3. The review of the Industrial Departments was interesting and\nsatisfactory. The farm at Tougaloo produces largely the supply for\nboarding-house table, and furnishes something for export\u2014especially\nstrawberries. At Talladega the land is neither extensive nor very\nfertile, yet yields fairly. Both farms furnish labor for the boys,\nand the boarding departments there, as also in Atlanta, Fisk\nand elsewhere, give employment to the girls. These Industrial\nDepartments do not pay pecuniarily, but they _do_ pay in healthy\nmental and moral stamina, and in a preparation for practical life.\nIn view, however, of the difficulty in management and marketing, no\nadditional farm industries were recommended.\n\n4. Much time was given and much interest manifested in discussing\nthe grading and unifying of the normal and preparatory schools,\nand their relations to the higher institutions. Our most effective\nwork is felt to be here, for in these schools we meet the wants\nof the masses directly, and lay the foundations for what we do in\nthe schools more advanced. The results of the Conference in this\nregard, will, we are persuaded, secure greater unity and efficiency\nin object-lesson teaching, normal training and practical business\neducation, as well as in giving more thorough preparation to those\nwho may enter the colleges.\n\nAmong the important results of the meeting are the better\nacquaintance acquired by the teachers of each other and of the\nwork; and by the officers of the Association of the great and\ndiversified interests intrusted to its care.\n\nA significant and encouraging fact in the progress of the meeting\nwas the voluntary and very welcome presence of Dr. J. Berrien\nLindsley, Secretary of the State Board of Education, and Mr. Doak,\nState Superintendent of Education. These gentlemen expressed, in\nthe strongest terms, their high appreciation of the work the A. M.\nA. is doing in the South, and from their position and opportunities\nfew men have better knowledge on the subject than they.\n\nThe day is not far distant when the South and North will see eye\nto eye, and will work hand to hand in the great endeavor to\nelevate the colored race, and the A. M. A. may well rejoice in the\npart she is taking in bringing about this harmony, and in the great\nachievement to be attained.\n\n * * * * *\n\nWE would again remind our readers that our Annual Report is ready\nfor distribution, and we shall be glad to send it to any who wish a\ncopy, and will so signify to us by postal card or letter.\n\n * * * * *\n\nTHE WORK AT HOME, a monthly record of the Woman\u2019s Home Missionary\nAssociation, is gotten up in an attractive manner; price, 25\ncents per annum, subscriptions to be sent to Miss Laura W. Bliss,\n20 Congregational House, Boston, Mass. We bid the publication\nGod-speed.\n\n * * * * *\n\nWE are happy to announce that through the liberality of Mr. Edward\nSmith, of Enfield, Mass., we have purchased thirteen acres of land\nin Little Rock, Ark., for a new institution of learning. A charter\nfor a college and plans for the first school building will be\nsecured without unreasonable delay. The character of the school\nwill be similar to that of our other chartered institutions.\n\n * * * * *\n\n\nBENEFACTIONS.\n\nWesleyan University has already received $550,000 of Mr. Seney, of\nBrooklyn, for endowment purposes.\n\n\u2014The late Stephen Whitney Ph\u0153nix bequeathed nearly $1,000,000 to\nColumbia College, New York City, part of it available at once, and\nthe rest on the death of his brother and sisters.\n\n\u2014Mr. J. B. Hoyt, of Stamford, Conn., has subscribed $20,000 for the\nConnecticut Literary Institution at Suffield.\n\n\u2014The will of Mrs. Maria Cary, of Brooklyn, gives $5,000 to Antioch\nCollege.\n\n\u2014Mr. A. E. Goodnow, of Worcester, has presented Mount Holyoke\nSeminary with $5,000, to be invested as a fund for keeping in order\nthe estate of Goodnow Park, presented by him to that institution.\n\n\u2014The Worcester Free Institute, of which Dr. Chas. O. Thompson is\nthe Principal, has received during the past year, $26,000 from\nMr. David Whitcomb, and $6,000 from Mr. Stephen Salisbury, both\nof Worcester, Mass. The Institute now has property amounting to\n$680,000.\n\n\u2014Mr. W. C. Jones, of Warrington, Eng., has given $10,000 to\nestablish a preparatory institute at Hong Chow, China.\n\n\u2014_We published the statement in the October_ AMERICAN MISSIONARY\n_that endowments were needed at Talladega College, of $25,000 each\nfor four professorships. We are happy to report that the late\nBenjamin De Forest, of Connecticut, provided by his will, $10,000\ntoward such endowment._\n\n\nGENERAL NOTES.\n\n\nAFRICA.\n\n\u2014A German expedition, under the direction of Baron Muller, will set\nout from Massaoua or Souakim for the country of the Gallas.\n\n\u2014Two English missionaries of Uganda, Messrs. Pearson and\nLitchfield, have returned to England.\n\n\u2014During forty years, the Church Missionary Society sent 87\nmissionaries to West Africa.\n\n\u2014Captain Capello will have the direction of the civilizing station\nwhich the Portuguese government intends to establish at Bih\u00e9.\n\n\u2014A Spanish association, the _Exploradoro_, is organizing an\nexpedition for the region comprised between the Bay of Corisco and\nLake Albert.\n\n\u2014The Church Missionary Society had at last reports but three\nmissionaries left of the whole number sent to Uganda, the capital\nof Mtesa\u2019s kingdom.\n\n\u2014The Governor of Sierra Leone intends to visit the chiefs of the\ntribes who live along the Rokelle, with the view of establishing\namong them a permanent peace.\n\n\u2014Messrs. Cuzzi and Michieli, agents of the Italian Society of\nCommerce with Africa, have set out for Khartoum, where they will\nmake purchase of gum.\n\n\u2014Count Pennazzi, who has already explored the Soudan, will shortly\nstart for the country of the Gallas, from whence he aims to go\ndirectly to the great lakes of Eastern Africa.\n\n\u2014Mr. Godwin, engineer at Cairo, has addressed a report to the\nEgyptian government showing the necessity of prolonging the\nrailroads to the Egyptian Soudan, using alternately conveyance by\nwater and the railroad.\n\n\u2014We are happy to announce the arrival of Mr. I. J. St. John and\nRev. J. M. Hall at Freetown, Sierra Leone, on Dec. 12, after a long\nand rough voyage. They were in good health and hoped to reach Avery\nStation that same week.\n\n\u2014Sir John Kirk, who has been so well known for many years as Dr.\nKirk, the British Representative and Consul General at Zanzibar,\nand who earned his knighthood by his services in connection with\nthe abolition of the slave trade and the advance of civilization in\nEast Africa, is now in England.\n\n * * * * *\n\n\nTHE INDIANS.\n\n\u2014A small congregation of full-blooded Chickasaw Indians lately gave\n$400 for Foreign Missions.\n\n\u2014In the spring of 1881, seventeen Indian slaves at Sitka were freed\nthrough the efforts of Captain Henry Glass, of the United States\nship Jamestown.\n\n\u2014The Baptists have built a steam launch of 100 tons measurement for\nmission work in Alaska, British Columbia and Washington Territory.\nShe is 82 feet long, with a cabin 25 x 15 feet.\n\n\u2014The Cherokees, Choctaws, Creeks, Chickasaws and Seminole Indians,\nto the number of 60,560, have over 16,000 houses. During the years\n1879 and 1880, from the 273,000 acres they have under cultivation\nthey raised over half a million of bushels of wheat and 176,500\ntons of hay. They have 195 schools with 6,250 scholars, or\none-tenth of the population. For education during the year they\nexpended $156,856, or $29.09 for each scholar, 2,650 of whom\nlearned to read the same year.\n\n\u2014At the Klawack Cannery, an Indian one day, abusing some others\nwith offensive epithets learned from the whites, they at once fell\nto fighting. A trader inquiring what he said to them, they replied\nthey didn\u2019t know, only when white men used those words they went to\nfighting, and so the Indians thought that was the proper thing for\nthem to do.\n\n * * * * *\n\n\nCHINESE.\n\n\u2014The return of the Chinese students, about which so much is said,\nit seems was occasioned partly by the fact that the Chinese\ngovernment wished to utilize their acquirements. Several of\nthem have been called into the service of telegraph lines just\ncompleted, and others will enter the army, the navy and the\narsenals.\n\n\u2014The Japanese, the Yankees of the East, have lately been getting\nup a corner in silk, and European silk traders have been forced to\naccept the terms dictated by a syndicate of native growers.\n\n\u2014There are now in North China about 100 villages where there are\nnatives who have declared themselves disciples of Christ, and in\nas many as thirty centres they meet on Sunday for worship and the\nstudy of the Scriptures.\n\n\u2014In Japan, 90 per cent. of the people are able to read. In the\nUnited States, only 80 per cent.; in England, 67; in China, 50, and\nin India 5 per cent.\n\n\u2014China spends $150,000,000 annually in ancestral worship.\n\n\u2014Japan has set an example that might well be followed by some\ncontinental nations. The government was requested for permission\nto hold a lottery in order to dispose of such articles as remained\nunsold at the national exhibition. They refused on moral grounds,\nand went to the expense of purchasing all the goods themselves in\norder to avoid the risk of an immoral example.\n\n[Illustration: CHINESE FUNERAL PROCESSION.]\n\n\nNEW APPOINTMENTS.\n\n1881\u20131882.\n\nThe following list presents the names and post-office addresses\nof those who are under appointment in the Churches, Institutions\nand Schools aided by the American Missionary Association, among\nthe Freedmen in the South, the Chinese on the Pacific Coast, the\nIndians, and the Negroes in Western Africa.

HATCH.\n\nThe aim of the educational work here is, in a word, to fit our\nstudents for practical life and to instruct in the art of teaching.\nA course of six years, after that of our primary grade, completes\nthe regular normal course. In addition to a long and thorough drill\nin the more common and elementary branches, this course requires\nthree terms each of United States history, Latin and algebra, two\neach of philosophy and geometry, one of physiology, natural history\nand science of government and four terms of Bible study.\n\nA small one-story house neatly finished off with Southern pine\nfrom ceiled roof to wainscoting is reserved for the primary school\nwhere, in limited numbers, children from the plantations around are\npermitted to attend. The chief object here is to furnish a model\nschool for our normal classes and a place where they can both learn\nby observation and practice for themselves under an experienced\nteacher who comes from the North expressly to have charge of this\nroom. Besides this teacher our corps of instructors is seven\nstrong, including one who is almost exclusively music teacher.\n\nSomething of external enlargement has fallen to the lot of Tougaloo\nwithin a year past. The beginning of the last winter term brought a\ncrowd of students who, with difficulty, could find a lodging place\namong us, owing to the lack of buildings. The young men, many of\nthem, had to make the best of the rudest sort of apartments. It was\nwhen every available room apparently was full, and shortly after\na number of students had been sent away, that the \u201cchapel,\u201d with\nits second floor devoted to rooms for twenty-eight young men, took\nfire and burned to the ground. This building, never even in its\nbest days a very commodious, convenient, or cheery place, was the\nbest we had, excepting, perhaps, the \u201cmansion.\u201d On the first floor\nwere a low-walled chapel-room, serving the purposes of school-room,\nassembly-room and church, and two small recitation-rooms. In one\nof these was kept the small library of the institution. This\nlibrary embraced sets of the New American Cyclop\u00e6dia and the Family\nLibrary, some 300 or more Sunday-school books, a few miscellaneous\nvolumes\u2014the gifts of individuals\u2014and a considerable collection of\nCongressional books, reports, etc., sent to the Normal Department\nfrom Washington. The greater part of this incipient library was\nsaved. The sets above mentioned, however, which our students were\nbeginning to appreciate and use intelligently, were broken up.\n\n[Illustration: STRIEBY HALL, TOUGALOO, MISS.]\n\nThere was an insurance on the chapel of $3,000. Something had\nbeen previously accumulating through special solicitations and\nthe benevolence of friends, for enlarging the hall for young\nwomen. That addition was in progress at the time of the fire. This\nbuilding contained the boarding and laundry departments of the\nschool. It had rooms for thirty-two young women. It was proposed to\nenlarge it by adding another story to the long two-story structure\nalready on the ground, and also a three-story wing, furnishing\nin all accommodations for seventy-two girls, besides containing\ntwo good-sized sitting-rooms, a pleasant sewing-room, and private\napartments for the matron and five teachers. This has been\ncompleted.\n\nEarly last spring, funds were forthcoming for a new hall for young\nmen. Work was immediately begun. A fair crop of \u201cMississippi brick\u201d\nwas raised on the spot. A sufficient number of men were employed\nto push on rapidly the work of building. A commodious and pleasing\nhall 41 \u00d7 112 feet stands ready for students.\n\nA deep, roomy basement extends under the whole building, furnishing\nrooms not only for uses connected with the hall, but also those\nconnected with certain of the industrial departments. The\nfirst floor affords us a large room for chapel, two convenient\nrecitation-rooms, an office, and apartments for a small family.\n\nThe second and third floors are used as dormitories. The rooms,\n34 in number, are of good size, light and airy, neatly and\nsubstantially, though simply, furnished. While in the construction\nof Strieby Hall strict economy has been studied, modern ideas of\nconvenience have been introduced. Water is brought to each floor\nfrom large tanks underneath the roof. A large bath-room is on the\nsecond floor.\n\nThe large \u201cmansion,\u201d which has served a great variety of purposes,\nhas now been turned for the most part into school uses. It has two\nlarge recitation-rooms, a library, a reading-room, two music-rooms,\nbesides an office and suitable rooms for one family and guests.\n\nThese four buildings, together with the neat little cottage for\nthe president and his family, comprise the chief externals of\nTougaloo University. The old building for young men, known as the\n\u201cBarracks,\u201d is to take its proper and more humble place among the\nbarns and outhouses connected with the farm.\n\n * * * * *\n\n\nINDUSTRIAL WORK AT TOUGALOO.\n\nBY PRES. G. S. POPE.\n\nIn considering the desirableness of having Industrial departments\nin connection with any of our schools, it is necessary, of course,\nto decide as nearly as possible what the expense of establishing\nand maintaining such departments will be, and what the advantage to\nthe pupil. In other departments of training it is found necessary\nto secure liberal endowments in order to meet expenses. Why should\nmore be asked of this? We sustain our Theological departments to\ntrain men to be successful preachers of the Word. We sustain our\nIndustrial departments to train them to be successful business men.\nBut one is direct Christian and missionary work. So is the other.\nGod first put man to pruning the garden, not to preaching the\ngospel. And whatever is done to make the world again a garden is\nevidently in the line of God\u2019s plan. It is certainly possible for\nus to give too little weight to the training of workmen. I suppose\nit is expected that I will present my thoughts in the shadow of\nexperience.\n\nThe Industrial department at Tougaloo University embraces:\n1. General Farming. 2. Strawberry Culture. 3. Gardening. 4.\nStock-Raising. 5. General Housework. 6. Work in Laundry. 7. Work in\nSewing-Room.\n\nIn our general farming we have confined our work to those crops\nthat we can consume on the place\u2014corn, oats and potatoes. We expect\nto cultivate cotton hereafter, rotating it with other crops. Corn\nyields fairly, but not equal to the West, of course. The oat crop,\nI think, can be made equal to the Western crop. We have done enough\nwith grasses to satisfy ourselves that grass can be very profitable\ngrown and marketed.\n\nThe strawberry crop can be grown, picked and marketed almost\nentirely with student labor. We have to hire a little outside help\nduring the picking season. This is both a pleasant and profitable\nindustry. We can begin shipping about April 10, or earlier,\naccording to the season. Chicago is our market. The garden is a\ngreat help in supplying our table, and in any of our schools we\nought to be able to cultivate a garden for the family with student\nlabor with good results. But gardening for profit must be _taught_,\nand requires skill and means.\n\nFour years ago we ventured to purchase a little thoroughbred\nAyrshire and grade Jersey stock. We had no appropriation for such\npurchases, but felt that we must make a beginning. We needed\nthe milk to use. We had land and must utilize it. The scholars\nneeded to be taught the value of good cows. We have not only\nawakened interest in the minds of the students, in the matter of\nstock-raising, but also in the minds of some of the old planters\nabout us.\n\nThe general housework and the work in the laundry and sewing-room\nhave been well managed under the oversight of our matron and\nothers, but in these, as in other departments already mentioned,\nthe returns seem slight when compared with the expense of\nsustaining the labor.\n\nIf we look at some of the difficulties, we shall perhaps feel more\nforcibly the absolute need of sustaining industrial schools. The\npeople know nothing in the line of general farmwork, except the\nculture of corn and cotton in the old way. They know nothing of\nthe value of rotation in crops, underdraining, fertilizing, etc.\nThey know nothing of the use and care of improved implements. There\nhas been no sense of responsibility developed in them. They break\ntools, misplace them, lose them. A new set of hands use the tools\nand teams each day of the week. In a jolly, good-natured way, time\nis killed, and but little is accomplished. These faults must be\ncorrected. This takes time and patience. Meanwhile the leakage and\nbreakage and drainage is _costing_. In the strawberry field we have\nnot the advantage of skilled pickers and packers, but must put new\nhands in the field each year. In the garden, the boys want to use\nthe big cotton hoes, and cut and slash as they do in the field, and\nso they tear up the tomatoes and root up the rutabagas, and cut up\nthe cabbages. Many of the boys have never had a fork or a rake in\ntheir hands. They know how to \u201cgear up\u201d a mule to plow, but would\nbe utterly lost if they should undertake to put a decent harness on\na horse and hitch him into a wagon.\n\nIn the housework the girls are no more responsible about their\nsweeping and scrubbing, their washing and wiping, than the boys are\non the farm. In the laundry they often forget to kindle the fire\nuntil it is time to commence ironing. Then they must stand and wait\nfor the irons to heat. In the wash-room they would as soon use a\nbox of soap as a bar. In the sewing-room they sew and then rip,\nand then sew up again and rip out again. The girls have followed\nthe plow or trundled baby wagons, and know nothing about sewing,\nknitting, darning, or anything else that fits them for real home\nlife.\n\nMultitudes of young men have their hearts set upon the pulpit\nand platform while there is scarcely one in ten thousand who is\nlearning a trade. Our carpenters and masons, our tinners and\nshoemakers are men who are in middle life, or whose heads are\nfrosted for the grave. These young people that we are educating\nwill need school-houses and churches and court-houses; but the\nway things are going now, there will be no one to build them\nafter their fathers are gone. In view of these facts, we have\nurged the establishment of shops where trades can be taught, but\nwe are headed off with the fact that we cannot pay expenses. Do\nother departments of training pay expenses? Wherever the work of\ntraining is done, expense is incurred. But people will give to\nmake teachers and preachers. Ah! they forget that the Lord Jesus\nworked in a carpenter\u2019s shop before he preached the glad tidings;\nthat Peter learned the art of catching fish before he caught men;\nand that Paul made tents for depraved men to use as homes in this\nworld before he told them of the heavenly mansions. What is needed\nin these young people is the development of character. Manliness,\nwomanliness, self-reliance can only be developed by a course of\ntraining that teaches hands, heads and hearts at the same time.\n\nI have spoken of the comparative expense of our industries, but it\nis by no means all outgo and no income. I have no balance sheet\nto present with this paper, but the milk goes from the stable to\nthe pantry by the bucketful, the vegetables from the garden to\nthe kitchen by the basketful, and the strawberries from the field\nto the fruit-room by the crateful. Besides the berries used in\nour family, we receive from $25 to $100 net per acre from those\nshipped. We have raised this year $700 worth of sweet potatoes.\nAt very moderate prices we have on hand now at least one thousand\ndollars worth of thoroughbred and grade stock over and above what\nhas been paid for it. I think I am safe in saying that in spite of\nall the difficulties, in ordinary seasons, our outside work brings\nin enough to pay for the labor put upon it.\n\nBut suppose our industries bring in no returns, but are constant\nsources of expense; still the fact remains that great value comes\nthrough them to the boys and girls. There is a discipline gained in\nbeing obliged to do work thoroughly, and a self respect developed\nin them in the effort to earn something with which to pay expenses,\ninstead of being carried like babies, that is simply invaluable.\n\n * * * * *\n\n\nMISSIONARY WORK AT NEW ORLEANS.\n\nBY MISS LENA SAUNDERS.\n\nThe month just past has been replete with special Divine mercies,\nthough marked by much sickness in the families of those interested\nin the school and church. One of our scholars went Home early in\nthe month and another lies \u201cwaiting for the boatman\u201d close by the\nriver. She seems fully trusting in Jesus though suffering intensely\nand praying to die. She asks that all her schoolmates at the hall\npray for her. She has walked six miles a day on her way to and\nfrom school, and now in her feeble talks dwells entirely upon\nthe school and Heaven. My Sunday-school class has increased in\nnumbers to 53. The little ones have been specially interested in\nthe black-board exercises, and read the pictures in a peculiarly\nquaint way. The account of the \u201cbrass snake\u201d lifted up in the\nwilderness particularly fascinated them. Reviewing the story of\nBalaam a few Sundays since, I asked the class what kind of man\nBalaam was, expecting them to remember the answer from the golden\ntext. One little fellow replied \u201ca double-jinted man.\u201d The pastor\nopened the door in time to join in the smiling. I had to learn that\n\u201cdouble-jointed\u201d is a term applied to persons who say one thing\nand do another. The sewing-school is well attended. The mother\u2019s\nmeeting is making its influence felt by the regular members going\nout and bringing in those who attend no other service.\n\n * * * * *\n\n\nSTORRS CHURCH, ATLANTA, GA\n\nBY REV. EVARTS KENT.\n\nThe Church is raising $30 per month on pastor\u2019s salary, beginning\nfrom 1st of October last. I am sure you will be glad to know that\nwe close the year with all indebtedness of every sort _paid_, and a\ntrifling sum in the treasury. There was something of a deficiency,\nbut we rallied last Wednesday evening and made it good. Besides,\nby vote of the Church at the same time, that was practically\nunanimous, we enrolled ourselves among the number of giving\nchurches, pledging an annual contribution to the three missionary\nsocieties of our order, and another for church building. Our\ncontributions may not be large; they will certainly be something.\nCongregation continues good. Bad weather has reduced somewhat the\nattendance at prayer meeting and Sunday-school; but both have been\nwell attended and full of interest. Acting upon my suggestion at\nthe Sunday-school concert, Christmas evening, the school brought\nbirthday gifts to the Saviour in the form of remembrances for the\npoor; more than 100 packages were brought to the table; clothing,\ngroceries, etc. It was most touching to witness the gifts brought\nto the Lord Jesus in this way from some of the very poorest of\nour children. The next morning, in a pouring rain, the pastor and\ndeacons distributed these offerings. I hope our people gained some\ninsight into the real meaning of the day.\n\n * * * * *\n\n\n\n\nAFRICA.\n\n * * * * *\n\n\nEXTRACTS FROM LETTERS OF REV. H. M. LADD.\n\nCAIRO, EGYPT, Nov. 28, 1881.\u2014We are off at last. The delay has been\ninevitable. No sooner would we make a plan than the bottom would\nfall out of it. About sixteen bottoms have fallen out. However,\nwe have some reason to hope that the last one will stick unless\nall men are liars, or unless there should be an explosion or an\nupheaval of the Nile, or unless there should be something else. It\nis never best to be too sure about anything in this country.\n\nThe quarantine has also thrown all our plans into confusion. We\ntried all sorts of schemes to obtain a passage down the Red Sea\nand get landed at Souakim without quarantine, but every plan\nfailed and we determined to go up the Nile. Then we heard by\nchance (everything seems to go by chance here) that the Egyptian\nsteamboats had given up calling at Jedda, and that we could go\ndirect to Souakim. We commenced telegraphing at once to Suez. Four\ntimes we telegraphed, and finally learned that one steamer would go\ndirect to Souakim without quarantine, but that it would sail before\nwe could catch it, and that there would not be another one for a\nmonth.\n\nSo again we gave up the Red Sea, and returned to the Nile route.\nWe planned to go by rail to Siout, thence by postal steamer to\nAssouan. The steamer was to leave Siout on Wednesday; we must leave\nhere on Tuesday; our baggage must leave by freight train on Monday,\nand to make sure of its getting on to the train it must be sent to\nthe station on Sunday. So we got it ready on Saturday by working\nhard, and sent it to the station, and were quietly informed that\nthere was no train that would take it till Tuesday, except for an\nenormous sum, and that as the boat left now on Tuesday instead of\nWednesday we could not reach it any how. This all meant three days\nmore of delay. * * * So we leave to-day, after taking the best\nadvices we could possibly get on the subject, determined to push\non up the river and cross the long Korosko Desert, which is the\nshortest though not the easiest route now open to us. We are both\nin excellent health and spirits and start off with much to cheer\nus. They tell us there is plenty of good weather before us in which\nto reach Fatiko or Lake Albert Nyanza, if we shall think it best to\ndo so on reaching Khartoum.\n\nASSYOUT or SIOUT, Dec. 2.\u2014We arrived here last evening, and expect\nto start onward at 3 A.M. to-night. The American missionaries have\nentertained us very hospitably, and send us on our way rejoicing.\n\nASSOUAN, Dec. 9.\u2014We have reached the borders of Nubia in safety,\nand shall set sail to-morrow noon for Korosko. This is far better\nthan we expected to do, as we were told we should be detained here\nthree or four days. We have taken three Arabs into our company and\nthereby reduced our expenses to Khartoum. Everything now looks well\nfor us. We shall try to reach Korosko in three days from here. The\nGovernor of this district has ordered camels to be ready for us.\nFrom Korosko we shall try to make the desert from Nile to Nile in\neight days, and in five more to reach Berber.\n\nKOROSCO, NUBIA, Dec. 12.\u2014We found our camels ready for us, and we\nshall start into the great desert early to-morrow morning. To-day\nthe men are making the necessary preparation in the way of food,\netc. The Governer here, acting under orders from down the river,\nis very attentive. The water at Murat, the only point where there\nis any on the desert, is bad, and cannot be used for drinking; we\nshall, therefore, have to carry enough to last us till we reach\nAboo Hamed and the river again. The doctor has had his hands full,\nattending to all sorts of people with all sorts of troubles, and\nevidently is destined to be quite in demand. We are both well and\nin good trim for the journey.\n\n * * * * *\n\n\n\n\nTHE CHINESE.\n\n * * * * *\n\n\nNOTES FROM THE FIELD.\n\nBY REV. W. C. POND.\n\n1. The statistical reports for November are in some respects more\nencouraging than ever; thirteen schools in operation, having an\naggregate enrolled membership of 700\u2014a round number, but an exact\none. Never before did our aggregate rise so high. The average\nattendance was 339. Ten of our pupils received baptism, and four or\nfive others, as having begun the Christian life, were accepted as\nmembers of the \u201cAssociation of Christian Chinese,\u201d there to remain\nunder further instruction for six months or more before they are\nbaptized. Twenty-nine teachers were employed, of whom ten were\nChinese helpers\u2014uniting service in the field with special training\nfor a larger Gospel-work. Some of these, I hope, may yet preach\nChrist in China, under the direction of our American Missionary\nAssociation.\n\n2. The Marysville Chinese Mission celebrated its second anniversary\non Sunday evening, December 11. The Presbyterian Church in that\ncity\u2014a spacious and beautiful edifice\u2014was filled, and the audience\nwas evidently greatly interested. At the close of a dialogue on\nthe question why a Chinaman should become a Christian, and of the\naddress in English by our helper, Lee Sam, the interest pressed\nbeyond due bounds, and broke forth into applause. One memorable\nfeature of the service was the baptism of six Chinese. From the\nstatement of the teacher, Miss Mattie A. Flint, as presented at\nthis meeting and since then published in _The Pacific_, I make the\nfollowing extracts:\n\n\u201cThe school has been maintained without interruption except on\noccasional holidays. In connection with it a Sunday-school has been\nsustained, meeting every Sabbath at 6 o\u2019clock in the evening. The\ntotal number of Chinese enrolled as pupils in the Mission School\nis 98. All these have been, for a shorter or longer period, under\nour influence, and must have learned something about Jesus and his\npower to save from sin. The average membership, month by month,\nhas been about 35. The largest average attendance in any one month\nwas 23. The average attendance for the year, 17. * * * Ten of the\npupils have joined the Association during the past year. From among\nthe members of the Association five have been baptized and received\nin the Presbyterian Church, and six others are now recommended for\nbaptism. We rejoice greatly in the fruit of our labors. I pray God\nfor still richer harvests in time to come.\n\n\u201cOne of those baptized and received to the church has returned to\nChina. I venture to give the following extract from a letter which\nI received from him a few weeks since: \u2018We meet on the steamer\nthree Christian brothers beside me. I feel comfortable in the way\nmy home. They about five hundred of my country men in the steamer.\nBut they are all heathen; we are preacher for them. They are never\nheard the gospel of life, and some very glad to hear us, and some\nare not. How wonderful our Heavenly Father has make this world! We\nare cross the great ocean, we ought thank Him for His kindness for\nus and His love. When we get near Japan they are idolatrous people\nto ask for us to give money to sacrifice idols goddess. I say no;\nif I have money I would like to put on missionary fund. But they\nare scold and angry for us. But we are not afraid for them. Jesus\nChrist with us always.\u2019\u201d\n\nTHE BETHANY CHURCH OF MARYSVILLE.\u2014A variety of considerations which\ncould not be fully stated without trespassing too largely upon your\nspace led us to believe that the time had come when our brethren\nin Marysville should be organized into a church of Christ. Rev.\nP. L. Carden, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, very cordially\nseconded the proposition, and proffered letters of dismission and\nrecommendation to such of our Chinese brethren as had already\nbeen admitted to his church. The brethren themselves received the\nproposal with great joy.\n\nIt was a new step in the history of our own work among the Chinese\nof this State, though in connection with other missions two or\nthree churches composed exclusively of Chinese have existed for\nmany years. It was taken after much prayer, and with a peaceful\nassurance that the Master himself led us that way. The matter\nwas talked over with the brethren somewhat carefully on Sunday\nafternoon; and then after the anniversary exercises over, we\nremained at the Mission House till late at night, explaining to\nthem the simple confession of Faith and Covenant of the Bethany\nChurch, San Francisco, which they adopted as their own. My\ninquiries into the Christian experience of one and another gave\nme still greater joy than I had before in view of our Marysville\nwork, and at the end of this meeting it was agreed to gather at the\nMission House at 2:30 P.M. of Monday, and organize the church. This\nplan was carried out, several American Christians being present\nwith us and adding their prayers and cordial God-speed; and I could\neasily find it in my heart to wish that every church organized in\nAmerica had in it nine such happy, hearty, praying, working young\nmen as this Bethany Church in Marysville has.\n\n3. OROVILLE.\u2014We had scarcely concluded the meeting above\nreferred to, when it became time to take the train for Oroville,\ntwenty-eight miles distant. I took our faithful helper, Lee Sam,\nwith me, desiring him to spend two or three months at least in\nOroville. Here I found a sad state of things. Sufficient care had\nnot been taken in receiving members to our Association there, and\nI am afraid that few, if any, among them are true Christians. In\na strife for the pre-eminence they had become bitter, one toward\nanother, and I hoped, and still hope, that the good judgment, the\ngentle spirit, the Christian example and the faithful preaching of\nLee Sam will, with the blessing of God, set things right again. The\nschool in Oroville is blessed with a very faithful teacher, who\nis aided and guided by her father, Rev. A. Ostrom, pastor of the\nCongregational Church, himself formerly a missionary in China. Mr.\nOstrom speaks Chinese, but not in the dialect of the districts from\nwhich our Chinese have come, and he cannot communicate with them,\nexcept through the English language. We ought to have had a good\nhelper there six months ago, but I had not the man to spare, nor\nthe funds to sustain him. Now I leave Marysville destitute, that\nOroville may be supplied.\n\nWe spent Monday and Tuesday evenings till a very late hour seeking\nto secure mutual forgiveness and to bring peace. We succeeded so\nfar as the weaker party was concerned; and the confession of fault\nand the request for forgiveness were made with tearful eyes. But as\nto the other, and hitherto the controlling faction, no relenting\ncould be made to appear. They have since withdrawn and set up some\nsort of a house and a worship by themselves. But I believe that\nour prayers will be answered, and that out of all this will come\nshortly a far better work than has ever yet been done for the\nthousands of Chinese who centre at this town.\n\n4. The mission-house at Santa Barbara was burned to the ground in\nthe latter part of November. It was a rented building, and the\nmost valuable part of the mission escaped the flames, so that the\nloss was not great. I record with much thankfulness the fact that\nthe Congregational Church in Santa Barbara, notwithstanding that\nit had, just the week before, completed an offering of $327.50 for\nour Theological Seminary, and scarcely a month before had made a\ngenerous contribution to our Mission, at once took a collection\namounting to $27.55 to repair the damages of this fire. The origin\nof the fire is hard to explain. Our helper regards it as no\naccident, but as having come from the hatred of heathen Chinese.\n\n * * * * *\n\n\n\n\nCHILDREN\u2019S PAGE.\n\n * * * * *\n\n\n\u201cTESSIE.\u201d\n\nBY A. WESTON W.\n\n\u201cDunno, miss.\u201d\n\n\u201cBut, Tessie, you must know where you got it.\u201d\n\n\u201c\u2019Deed, miss, I dunno no more\u2019n de dade. I nebber tuk it none: it\njes\u2019 comed.\u201d\n\n\u201cJust came! O Tessie, Tessie! are you never going to be good?\u201d\n\n\u201cI is good, miss,\u201d said the little colored girl, who could not seem\nto learn how very wicked it is to take other people\u2019s property, and\nwho had never been taught it is wrong to tell an untruth.\n\n\u201cYes, Tessie, you are good about some things,\u201d I said; \u201cbut you\nare not good when you take things out of my room, as you did last\nnight.\u201d\n\n\u201cDeed, miss, I nebber tuk it none: it jes\u2019 comed.\u201d\n\n\u201cTessie,\u201d I said solemnly, \u201cwhat will you do when God asks you\nabout this.\u201d\n\n\u201cI jes\u2019 say I dunno nuffin\u2019 \u2019tall \u2019bout it.\u201d\n\n\u201cBut you can\u2019t tell a lie about it to God, for he saw you take it.\u201d\n\n\u201cReckon ye\u2019re out dar, \u2019cause it were dark as Egyp,\u201d said Tessie,\ngrinning at me, and showing a row of white teeth and a pair of\nlarge black eyes.\n\n\u201cBut, Tessie,\u201d I said, \u201cthat makes no difference; God sees you all\nthe time, and knows what you do in the dark, just as well as what\nyou do when it is light.\u201d\n\nThe girl\u2019s expression changed, and she looked about her stealthily,\nas though in some dark corner she expected to see some one looking\nat her. Failing in that, she looked back at me, and said:\n\n\u201c\u2019Tain\u2019t wurth while ter vex \u2019im.\u201d\n\n\u201cNo, Tessie,\u201d I said, \u201cit\u2019s not right to vex any one who has been\nkind to us; and God does more for us than any earthly friends we\nhave.\u201d\n\n\u201cReckon ef I puts it back in de dark agin, he\u2019ll see it?\u201d\n\n\u201cYes, Tessie, God will see you, whether you put it back at night,\nor in the day.\u201d\n\n\u201cDen it\u2019ll be all right?\u201d\n\n\u201cIf you make up your mind never to take again what does not belong\nto you.\u201d\n\n\u201cS\u2019posen His head\u2019s turned round the wrong way, an\u2019 He don\u2019t see\nme?\u201d\n\n\u201cGod\u2019s head is never turned round, Tessie; it is always towards us.\u201d\n\nThat evening I watched Tessie to see the effect of our\nconversation, and soon after dark I discovered her on her way to my\nroom, with the little thermometer she had taken from it the night\nbefore.\n\nAfter that, there seemed to be a decided change in Tessie, which\npleased me very much; but I was even more pleased when, one day, I\nfound her with a bottle of cologne in her hand, and heard what she\nwas saying.\n\n\u201cI reckon it smells kind o\u2019 good, an\u2019 I reckon I\u2019d like ter hab it;\nbut de good God\u2019s a-lookin\u2019 on, an\u2019 he moight ax \u2019bout it some day.\u201d\n\nMy little friends, would it not be well if we could take that as a\nsort of watch-word\u2014\u201cHe might ask about it some day\u201d? Do we not all\ndo little things quietly, in a kind of slurring way, as if they\nwouldn\u2019t count? And yet we would be ashamed to be asked about them.\nRemember that everything counts, and that \u201cHe might ask about it\nsome day.\u201d\u2014_Well-Spring._\n\n * * * * *\n\n\n\n\nRECEIPTS FOR DECEMBER, 1881.\n\n * * * * *\n\n\n MAINE, $556.18.\n\n Augusta.

Army, has been thrown\ninto prison and subjected to great privations and indignities by\nhis superior officers\u2014treated worse than the miserable wretch\nGuiteau\u2014for writing a letter to the WITNESS\u2014a letter which is of\ngreat importance to all young men and all parents? There are many\nthings published in the WITNESS that other papers dare not print,\nfor fear of offending some rich and powerful corporation, and so\nlosing their patronage.\n\n The price of the WITNESS is $1.50\n a year, post-paid; club price,\n five for $6.00. Sample\n copy sent free.\n\nMinisters, Missionaries, Evangelists of all Denominations, and\nTeachers can have the WITNESS for One Dollar a year.\n\n JOHN DOUGALL & CO.,\n\n New York Witness Office,\n\n 17 to 21 VANDEWATER St., NEW YORK.\n\n\n * * * * *\n\n\n ESTABLISHED THIRTY YEARS.\n\n[Illus tration: SMITH AMERICAN ORGANS ARE THE BEST.]\n\n\n _Catalogues Free on Application._\n\nAddress the Company either at\n\n BOSTON, MASS., 531 Tremont Street;\n LONDON, ENG., 57 Holborn Viaduct;\n KANSAS CITY, Mo., 817 Main Street;\n ATLANTA, GA., 27 Whitehall Street;\n Or, DEFIANCE, O.\n\n\n OVER 95,000 SOLD.\n\n\n * * * * *\n\n\n BEAUTIES OF\n\n SACRED SONG\n\nThis splendid new collection of the best Sacred Songs of the day\nwill be a most valuable addition to our libraries, and is full of\ngems.\n\nAmong the authors we notice the names of Gounod, Sullivan,\nMarzials, Abt, Thomas, Smart and Pinsuti, and there are more than\n30 others of good repute.

The situation is unsurpassed for\nhealthfulness; and it is the custom of the Government to send\ntroops there to recuperate that have seen hard service elsewhere.\nThe climate is singularly mild, but bracing, and for persons with\ndelicate lungs, coming from a northern climate, it is admirably\nadapted, as the atmosphere is not so debilitating as that of more\ntropical resorts. In common with most of Eastern Virginia it enjoys\nentire immunity from all violent forms of eruptive diseases and\nfevers. Measles and scarlet fever, on being brought there, assume\nperfectly mild and tractable types. Malarial fevers are absolutely\nunknown, and not a single case of typhoid fever was ever known\nto originate at Old Point. Many physicians believe that genuine\ntyphoid fever is unknown in Eastern Virginia, the disease going\nby that name being perfectly manageable and non-contagious. The\ntemperature is remarkably even, being exempt from torrid heats and\nfrigid cold. The Artillery School of the United States is located\nhere, and Hampton Roads, the finest roadstead in the world, is a\nrendezvous for naval ships. Hampton, the oldest town in Virginia,\nand containing the oldest church on this continent, is within\nthree miles, over a shell road. There, also, is located the State\nNormal School, for the education of negroes and Indians; and\nbetween Hampton and Old Point is the Soldiers\u2019 Home, for disabled\nveterans. The HYGEIA, the only hotel allowed by the Government, is\nsubstantial and elegant, and accommodates a thousand guests. It is\nabout one hundred yards from the wharf, and the water comes to the\nfoot of the plazas, of which there are about 35,000 square feet in\nthe house, 15,000 of which are inclosed with glass, which enables\nthe most delicate invalid to enjoy the sunlight and sea view. Hot\nand cold sea baths are on every floor. It has elevators, electric\nbells, etc. It is one minute\u2019s walk from the fortress. Daily\ncommunication is had with New York by the Old Dominion Steamship\nCompany, with Baltimore by the Bay Line steamers, and with\nWashington by the Potomac Steamboat Company, and a branch of the\nMerchants\u2019 and Miners\u2019 Transportation Company, all these steamers\nproceeding to Norfolk, which is thirteen miles away; with Richmond\nby the Old Dominion Line and the James River Steamboat Company. It\nis on the direct route of travel to the South. The hotel has no\nparticular season, but is under the same _r\u00e9gime_ the whole year\nround. The records of the Meteorological Observatory, for the past\nten years, show an average temperature of 60\u00b0, 74\u00b0, 76\u00b0, in summer;\n70\u00b0, 59\u00b0, 40\u00b0 in autumn; 45\u00b0, 44\u00b0, 42\u00b0, in winter; and 48\u00b0, 52\u00b0,\n63\u00b0, for spring.\n\n\n * * * * *\n\n\n THE GREAT BIBLE DICTIONARY.\n\n BY WILLIAM SMITH.\n\n\n Unabridged, enlarged and corrected.

We shall seek to make its\nappearance attractive by pictures and illustrations. The Children\u2019s\nPage will contain original stories and suggestive incidents. The\nGeneral Notes on Africa, the Chinese and Indians will be continued.\nThe fullest information will be given about our work in the South,\nnow recognized as so important to the welfare of the nation, and\nabout our labors in Africa\u2014that land whose fate so stirs the heart\nof Christendom. The journal of our exploring party of missionaries\nup the Nile will be given monthly. The editorial department will\nreflect the missionary zeal and work over the whole field, and add\nits influence to aid every good agency for the world\u2019s redemption.\n\nNo Christian family can afford to be without missionary\nintelligence, and no missionary society can afford to be without\nreaders of its publications; it had better give them to the readers\nwithout pay than to have no readers. Missionary zeal will die in\nthe churches without missionary intelligence.\n\nBut it would be far better for both the societies and the readers\nif missionary news were paid for. This would give the magazine\nattentive perusal and the society relief from the reproach of a\nlarge expense for publication. Missionary publications should be\nput on a _paying basis_. Aside from a free list to life members,\nministers, etc., the cost of publication should be made up by\npaying subscribers and advertisements.\n\nWe are anxious to put the AMERICAN MISSIONARY on this basis. We\nintend to make it worth its price, and we ask our patrons to aid us:\n\n1. More of our readers can take pains to send us either the\nmoderate subscription price (50 cents), or $1.00, naming a friend\nto whom we may send a second copy.\n\n2. A special friend in each church can secure subscribers at\nclub-rates (12 copies for $5 or 25 copies for $10).\n\n3. Business men can benefit themselves by advertising in a\nperiodical that has a circulation of 20,000 copies monthly and that\ngoes to many of the best men and families in the land. Will not our\nfriends aid us to make this plan a success?\n\nSubscriptions and advertisements should be sent to H. W.
