No. 2.

American Missionary Association.

We remind our readers that the National Council and the annual meeting have placed before us a high mark in asking from the churches $350,000 the current year. That sixty per cent. advance upon the contributions of last year will not be made without the consciously directed efforts of our friends to secure it. We are happy to announce that quite a number of the churches whose contributions have been taken since the annual meeting have made the advance, some of them reaching even a hundred per cent, over the contributions of the preceding year. Let the matter be brought to the attention of the churches and kept before them, and they will rise to the occasion. They have both the means and the disposition.

Can you do anything to increase the list of subscribers for The American Missionary? That is one way in which you might help us. Every mail brings voluntary testimonials of the high esteem in which our magazine is held by its readers. We could easily fill our pages with extracts. The subscription price is so low—fifty cents—that we cannot offer premiums or make reduction for clubs. We do ask, however, for a greatly enlarged increase in subscriptions on the purely business ground that the magazine is worth the subscription price, and more, too. Can you do anything to help us in this direction?

An Example.—Rev. A. F. Newton, of Marlboro, Mass., one Sunday in last December preached to his people on Christian Reading in the home. He circulated among the congregation a list of the missionary magazines and religious papers which, in his judgment, ought to have a place in every family. The American Missionary, of course, was among the number. We presume that other ministers have done substantially the same, but knowledge of Mr. Newton’s effort having come to us, we take occasion to specially mention it. Our conviction is strong that if all our pastors were to go and do likewise, there would be a great increase in the number of our subscribers, and during the year corresponding increase in contributions, sympathy and prayer for our work. We commend the example of Mr. Newton to the brethren.

We regret to say that Rev. J. L. Withrow, D.D., has, in consequence of his call to Chicago, sent in his resignation as a member of our Executive Committee, a position that he has held since 1883. Our churches ought to know Dr. Withrow’s fidelity. Once a month he made the journey from Boston to New York in order to attend the meetings. It was very rarely that he was absent. Our good wishes and prayers accompany him into his new field in the West.

The vacancy thus made has been filled by the Executive Committee in the unanimous election of Rev. Jas. W. Cooper, D.D., New Britain, Conn. Dr. Cooper has kindly consented to serve. He is not a man willing to accept a position as a mere figure-head, and the churches may be assured that the interests of the Association will be faithfully served by him. He is a man of business and executive ability in a marked degree, and we shall welcome his counsel and wisdom in the administration of the Association’s affairs.

The Thomasville (Ga.) Times speaks very commendatorially of the American Missionary Association’s work in Thomasville. It refers with evident pleasure to the erection of our building for the Connecticut Industrial School, and speaks of our missionaries who are now carrying on the school in temporary quarters until the new building is completed, as follows: “These ladies are engaged in a work which commends itself to all classes of our citizens. They will receive, as they should, every encouragement and courtesy at the hands of the people of Thomasville.”

They had a good time at Fisk University, Thanksgiving Day. Sermon by Prof. Bennett in the forenoon, athletic sports on the campus in the afternoon, and a praise meeting in charge of Pres. Cravath in the evening. Dr. Cravath spoke of the university as a family in connection with the thought that family reunions were the characteristic form of observing the Thanksgiving anniversary. Testimony of personal reasons for thankfulness were given both by teachers and students. One was thankful that after having been twelve years in the university he had at length been led to give himself to the Lord; another, a newcomer, that the way had been opened for him to come to Fisk, where he had been received as a child into the family; some for hardships and trials endured, others for what Fisk University had been to them and had done for them. A very fitting and enjoyable observance of the day this was, certainly.

There are 8,000 liquor saloons in the city of New York. Last year they paid for licenses $600,000. This money, strange to say, is divided up among charitable and reform institutions in the city. Saloon keepers pay $600,000 for protection by law, while they carry shame, sorrow and ruin to tens of thousands of their fellow-beings. Surely the American Missionary Association ought to receive the $350,000 asked from the churches, as it tries to carry the Gospel to twelve millions of the most neglected and ignorant of our American population.

OUR ROLL OF HONOR.

According to custom, we publish this month a list of our mission stations and the names of the missionaries. It furnishes a fruitful field in which to glean valuable information. A glance at it shows the magnitude of our work. There are 215 stations, in charge of 422 workers. Each station is a centre at which mission work is organized for all the region round about. To him who scans it carefully the list reveals the variety of the work. It is both evangelistic and educational. Church planting and building; Sunday-school work; primary, normal, industrial, collegiate and professional training, are all represented, because the people need to be instructed in everything secular, social and religious, that pertains to civilized life and well-ordered society.

If facts and incidents in the lives of individual missionaries and in the development of work at specified points are ascertained (consult back numbers of The American Missionary) and brought into the public meeting, interest cannot fail to be awakened; nor will the interest be evanescent; it will go home with the people; it will stay with them; it will secure a place in their thought and prayer; it will get into the contribution box; it will reach the field.

Some of the stations, by reason of special agencies, as, for example, Fisk University, have become well known; but for the greater part they are indefinitely thought of in the mass. The same is true of the missionaries. Only a few of them are widely known. Yet in their isolation, bearing obloquy and reproach for their work’s sake, misjudged as to their character and mission, even by Christian ministers and church members who keep aloof from their acquaintance and fellowship, it is natural that they should crave the expressed sympathy of those they represent. It would lighten their burdens and brighten their path to feel that they are known and remembered by name in the churches at home.

There is one thing to be noted which a mere study of the list does not reveal, and that is: our missionaries are a very happy band. Despite the discouragements and trials incident to their work, they are neither cast down nor discouraged. On this point their testimony is strong and continuous. They have the joy of their Lord’s presence and the sustaining power of His almighty grace. “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee,” has become the gladsome song of their hearts.

They are happy, too, in the knowledge that they have so many friends and such generous supporters. The fact that the list of their names is so long proves to them that their work has taken a large hold upon the churches. The fact that contributions come from so many churches and individuals, in amount sufficient to maintain so great a work as the Association is carrying forward, is a demonstration that they have the love and hearty support of tens of thousands, some of whom make large sacrifices to contribute as they do. They know that there are thousands who eloquently plead their cause and defend their good name before the public, and on bended knee remember them and their work at the Throne of Grace.

They are happy, also, in the knowledge that they are loved and honored by those for whom they labor. Father Riggs was almost worshipped by the Indians who knew him. E. A. Ware is a sainted name that thousands of colored people, young and old, are ready to rise up and honor, and whose very mention is an inspiration in their hearing.

We recall to our readers words spoken by Prof. W. A. Crogman, himself a fine specimen of the Christian scholar and thinker such as his race is capable of producing under Christian training. We quote from an address he made two years ago Thanksgiving Day, before the Atlanta University, of which school he is a graduate: “If I were asked to-day what one thing since the close of the war has contributed most to the permanent prosperity of the South, I unhesitatingly answer, Christian charity. When the victorious army of the North was passing in review before President Johnson in the streets of Washington, another army, vastly inferior in numbers, imbued with a different spirit, and armed with no other weapons than the Bible and the spelling-book, was marching under the eye of God down into this very field from which Grant and Sherman had but recently withdrawn. Silently came they into the field. There was no heralding of their approach, no display. Hopefully came they into the field, notwithstanding they knew that to the majority of the people their presence would be obnoxious. They came with faith in God and love for man. They came, impelled by Christian duty and patriotism, to wage a new war against the more deadly enemies of the Republic—ignorance and vice. I am thankful to-day for the pen of Lincoln and for the sword of Grant, but more thankful, by far, for the patient ‘schoolma’am’ who taught the negro his letters and set a million of us to reading.”

Let our Roll of Honor be studied, and let its history and memory be made known among the churches. It is abundantly worthy, and in results will repay with rich reward.

“While practicing law a number of years ago,” says Judge Tourgee, “I had a peculiar will case. An old lady who was a slaveholder, dying, bequeathed her colored man, John, and her dusky maid, Jane, who sustained to each other the relation of husband and wife, to the trustees of the church, to be used as far as possible for the ‘glory of God.’ I was curious to know what course was taken, and upon investigation found that, after meditation and prayer, the pious trustees sold their living legacy at auction, and with the proceeds sent a missionary to China.”

The New England Society of New York celebrated Forefathers’ Day December 22d. There was one feature of this anniversary of special interest to the readers of the Missionary. It was a speech by Mr. H. W. Grady, editor of the Atlanta Constitution. Mr. Grady is a representative Southerner of the progressive type. His theme was The New South, and he handled it in such a way as to elicit the heartiest applause and the warmest commendation from those who heard him. Of course he could not speak on such a theme without having a good deal to say about the negro. We give the following extracts:

“But what is the sum of our work? We have found out that in the general summing up the free negro counts more than he did as a slave. We have planted the schoolhouse on the hill-top and made it free to white and black.”

“The relations of the Southern people with the negro are close and cordial. We remember with what fidelity for four years he guarded our defenseless women and children, whose husbands and fathers were fighting against his freedom. To his eternal credit be it said that whenever he struck a blow for his own liberty he fought in open battle, and when at last he raised his black and humble hands that the shackles might be struck off, those hands were innocent of wrong against his helpless charges and worthy to be taken in loving grasp by every man who honors loyalty and devotion.”

“But have we solved the problem he presents or progressed in honor and equity towards its solution? Let the record speak to this point. No section shows a more prosperous laboring population than the negroes of the South, none in fuller sympathy with the employing and land-owning class. He shares our school fund, has the fullest protection of our laws and the friendship of our people. Self-interest as well as honor demand that he should have this. Our future, our very existence, depend upon our working out this problem in full and exact justice. We understand that when Lincoln signed the emancipation proclamation, your victory was assured, for he then committed you to the cause of human liberty against which the arms of man cannot prevail, while those of our statesmen who made slavery the corner-stone of the Confederacy, doomed us to defeat, committing us to a cause that reason could not defend or the sword maintain in the light of advancing civilization.”

“We fought hard enough to know that we were whipped, and in perfect frankness accepted as final the arbitrament of the sword to which we had appealed. The South found her jewel in a toad’s head. The shackles that had held her in narrow limitations fell forever when the shackles of the negro slave were broken. Under the old régime the negroes were slaves to the South, the South was a slave to the system. Thus was gathered in the hands of a splendid and chivalric oligarchy the substance that should have been diffused among the people, as the rich blood is gathered at the heart, filling that with affluent rapture, but leaving the body chill and colorless.”

When Mr. Grady said, “We have planted the school house on the hill-top and made it free to white and black,” he must have had in mind the Atlanta University, for he knows all about that school. The $8,000 a year appropriated from the State justly entitles the Georgians to regard Atlanta University as a State school. But whence comes the money necessary to supplement this appropriation, to meet current expenses? Whence came the $150,000, and more, that have gone into the fine grounds, buildings and equipments? From New Englanders and children of New Englanders in the West, through the American Missionary Association. Mr. Grady must have known these facts. He knew that New England brains conceived the school, that New England money planted it, that New Englanders have always been, and are, its teachers, what sacrifices they have made, what social ostracism endured, what splendid work they have done and are doing. He knows from personal inspection the superiority of that school, and that this superiority has frequently been spoken of in the columns of the able paper of which he is the editor. He knows that the munificent funds bearing the names of Slater and Peabody were given by New Englanders. All these things, and more in the same direction, Mr. Grady knows, and yet in the presence of New Englanders and in the city where are the headquarters of the American Missionary Association, he did not make the faintest reference in recognition. It is said his speech was extemporaneous. Nevertheless was it not unfortunate that upon such an occasion he failed to give honor to whom honor is due?

The Freedmen’s Aid Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church recently opened a University for white students in Chattanooga, Tenn. Some colored students applied for admission. They were refused, but this was not the end. A colored minister, Rev. B. H. Johnson, pastor of one of the Methodist Episcopal Churches of Chattanooga, meeting Professor Caulkins of the university in a store, offered him his hand, but as it was a black hand the professor would not accept it. That would have been a recognition of “social equality.” The colored brother felt, and felt justly, that he had been insulted. When knowledge of the insult reached the Executive Committee of the Freedmen’s Aid Society, whose funds in large part built and support the university, steps were immediately taken to learn the exact facts in the case. They moved cautiously and wisely, that no wrong should be done and that no unjust judgment should be pronounced, and when they had made a thorough examination of the whole case, heard from both sides and from all sides, they voted that through the trustees of the university the professor be asked to resign at once. The Executive Committee has done right and should have the cordial backing of the entire Methodist Church. A mistake was made when the colored students were refused admission. No matter if they were hired by wicked white men to go and force the issue. All the more should an issue be met when forced by such people. Better that a millstone be hanged around the neck of the institution and that it be drowned in the midst of the sea than that it be made an occasion of offense to one of Christ’s little ones. Christ is in the world in the person of these little ones, and he who insults them insults Him, and he who insults Him insults all who love Him.

We take the following extracts from a letter received by Dr. Strieby from our good friend, Mr. Robert Arthington, of Leeds, England. As a little mirror, showing “ourselves as ithers see us,” it has special significance. We have often thought that the indifference of the Christian people of this country to the question of the salvation of the Indians was a sad spectacle for our brethren in other lands to look upon. Would that the churches might be made to feel this:

“Dear Dr. Strieby—I trust the ‘missionary laugh’ will, by the great mercy of God, ‘never come on the air by my side.’ Oh, that it might be so with all real Christians.

“In the November Missionary the Indians are mentioned. I am at this moment intensely desirous that the Indians of the South American continent should be reached by the Gospel message. This appears to me to be very difficult, sadly, sadly difficult. But the case in the North American continent seems to me to be altogether different. There, as it regards your part, is a government, and a people, which and who approve of all men’s reading the Christian Scriptures. Grand, glorious, if only they would be more practical. Why does not the Government at once solve the problem by sending persons well fitted for the purpose to teach each tribe to read? Then when they can read, the American Bible Society might introduce extensively to the whole of the Indian tribes in the United States the inestimably precious word of God.

“For goodness’ sake, if not for God’s sake, O, Americans, arise and do this necessary thing. There is no time to be lost. You have “heaped teachers” to yourselves, and you leave these poor men and women, as worthy as yourselves, except real Christians, to their darkness, devoid of the light, joy and infinite good beyond description of a personal intimate knowledge of the sacred Christian Scriptures.”

NOTES IN THE SADDLE.

BY FIELD-SUPERINTENDENT C. J. RYDER.

The romantic, pathetic and comical jumble themselves together in a strange medley in these field experiences. But each experience illustrates some phase in missionary work, or italicizes its importance. We drop into a mountain cabin and there find the usual inmates of such mountain homes—a pale-faced, tired-looking woman, with the “old woman in the shoe” sort of family. The oldest of the children is a girl of eighteen. She informs us, during a conversation, that she “has never seen a book.” She modifies this statement a bit by adding: “I ’low thayr war one ’fore grandmam died, but I plumb forgot how it looked.” Think of it! A girl eighteen years old, in the heart of this country, which boasts itself in its educational advantages, who did not know what a book looked like! What more pathetic appeal can be offered in behalf of this mountain work than this fact presents?

The ignorance of the preachers is often as painfully evident as that of the people. A friend residing in this region told me that he had often been asked by the preacher to read his text for him at the church service, the preacher adding: “I thank God I cannot read; the Spirit teaches me.” This preacher was white.

Here is a case of genuine civil service reform: A member of an A. M. A. church was requested by the committee of his party to run for Congress. He declined unless they would pledge themselves that no money nor whiskey should be used to influence voters. The committee replied that this could not be done, as it would lose them the election. “Very well,” said this mountain nobleman, “then you must get another candidate.” In speaking of the circumstance to this friend, I told him that all his friends rejoiced in the stand he had taken, and that the A. M. A. appreciated the honor he had conferred upon it by his loyalty to political honesty, but that the country needed such men in Congress as he was. He laid his hand on my shoulder and replied: “It was no great sacrifice; I really believe I would rather go to a good prayer-meeting than to Congress.”

We jog along and come to a little slab meeting-house, just built at considerable self-denial and persistent begging on the part of a few colored Christians. An old brother was called upon to pray at the opening of the service. This was one sentence in his quaint prayer: “Oh, Lord, bless our brother, and give him a pennyroyal tongue.” But it is not so foolish a petition, after all. Pennyroyal is an herb growing abundantly in that region, and is used for ointments and salves; it is healing, it soothes irritations, heals old hurts, reduces inflammations. That is the sort of a tongue a missionary superintendent needs. I fancy, also, many pastors would sometimes rejoice in the possession of such a tongue. I doubt if our colored brother could read, but he had in some way learned Solomon’s secret: “The tongue of the wise is health.”

The A. M. A. has no school now at Louisville, Ky., but the pastor and lady missionary wisely plan for the instruction of those who do not enjoy school privileges. Coming in upon them one Saturday afternoon, I found a motley group of children, ranging from six to sixteen years of age, gathered in the Sunday-school room of the church. I learned that it was the Industrial Class, which met regularly twice a week. In a little closet in one corner all sorts of second-hand clothing were stored. These garments are sent down by good people of the North, and are made over in this Industrial class. While the children were busy in cutting, fitting and sewing, their teacher gave them useful lessons in Bible texts and truths; sensible suggestions for every-day life, or rudimentary lessons in arithmetic, geography and grammar. To many in these classes this instruction is all they get during the year, and no one can estimate its value. Indeed, the A. M. A. churches are usually a sort of information bureau to the congregations.

The pastor of one church which I recently visited said to his people: “Some of you cannot read; all of you are very busy and find it difficult to get time to read; so I have concluded to give you a brief review of the week’s news each Sabbath evening.” He then read a summary of events relating to education, temperance, religion and politics. Thus these churches are training the people to a wise exercise of their citizenship.

The three theological students from Fisk University who were ordained at the State Association in Nashville, in November, find ready opportunity to prove “their calling” by preaching in the church at Goodlettsville. This church was organized last year, and has not yet secured a settled pastor.

Rev. John Kershaw, who was recently appointed General Missionary of the A. M. A. in the Cumberland Mountains, reports twenty-one hopeful conversions as the result of a series of meetings held by himself and Bro. Barton, of Robbins. So the work goes forward encouragingly in Scott County. The large army of men who poured into this region during the construction of the Cincinnati Southern R. R., have moved on. The vast number of drinking places this unsettled multitude created a demand for has been greatly reduced. Society has settled to its normal condition. Now is our opportunity. Let us plant churches, strengthen and multiply Sunday-schools, establish Christian schools, and thus keep out saloons and places of evil resort. It is always easier to keep the devil out than to get him out.

Many of our A. M. A. Sunday-schools are rejoicing in new libraries, the gifts of the “Congregational S. S. and Publishing Society,” and the “Western Tract and Book Society.” The thoughtful Secretaries of these societies have the hearty thanks of the field workers.

CHRISTMAS AT McINTOSH, GA.

Christmas came at the end of a series of revival services which have been held here with encouraging results, some forty young people professing to find Christ precious to their souls, a number of whom will be after due care and examination received into church membership. The members, too, have been cheered and helped in their Christian life, and have resolved to be more fully consecrated to God’s service. We commenced the day with a short service at 6:30 a.m., when we had a little talk on the topic, “The Birth of Christ.” At 9 o’clock the schoolchildren assembled with parents and friends to the number of four-hundred or more, to undertake their exercises, which were very satisfactory, doing great credit to the teachers. Hymns appropriate for the occasion were gone through admirably in the church, which had been gaily decorated with evergreens, palmetto grass, redberries and moss, the Christmas tree being a most conspicuous object, heavily laden with all kinds of good things. The distribution of the various articles followed, and all, both young and old, received a gift. They then turned out, en masse, after singing “Praise God from whom all blessings flow,” into the school grounds, where their happiness reached its height, the people witnessing some good old fashioned English games undertaken by the boys, including flat-race, three-legged race and sack-racing, (which caused no end of merriment) running high leap and pole-leaping. The girls, too, were delightfully entertained by the teachers’ partaking in corresponding games, which were enhanced by the strains from the brass band in attendance. Later in the afternoon fourteen persons, including Rev. Floyd Snelson, the teachers, and others, started upon an eight-mile drive. A halt was made at McIntosh proper, where holiday festivities were being indulged in by a large number, I am sorry to say, to the detriment of all present. Whilst waiting to give the horses rest, it was plain to be seen that whiskey had been freely partaken of both by male and female, and a disturbance arose in which we could see from the distance the excited people fighting, the women taking the most prominent part. At another settlement on the other side of us, we heard there had been disturbances mainly caused by the “fire-water” drinkers. As I stood looking on, I could not but thank God for the contrast, so plainly set before me in the day’s proceedings, and to bless God for the work and workers, whose influence is at least felt for miles around, both among old and young, whom they have under their training. I cannot speak too highly of the teachers here, although my acquaintance with them has only been of three weeks’ duration; yet travelling about as I do both in England and America I have learned to form some idea of work in my Master’s cause, and say that the work here is worthy of the sympathy and prayers of all God’s children, on both sides of the water, on behalf of these once downtrodden sons of Africa.

Miss Plimpton has in her class-room 72 scholars, Miss Robertson 74 and Miss Dox 84, Miss Cutler taking the responsibility in a great measure of the household duties. They are taxed to the very utmost of their strength and have turned away between fifty and sixty children, who would gladly walk many miles each day, if they could be accommodated. The Bible readings at some of the sisters’ houses, held twice a week, and also the Bible instruction and society meetings which are held at the teachers’ home, are all undertaken after school hours, so that an idea can be formed as to the exceedingly heavy task bearing upon them, but the promise is still as certain to-day as of old, “As thy day so shall thy strength be.” Towards sun-down the young folks began to scatter to their respective homes, everybody seeming to be delighted with the day’s proceedings, and wishing in their hearts that Christmas day came once a month.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF SANTEE.

BY MISS EDITH LEONARD.

An outside view of any community is always different from an inside view, yet both may be true. I am going to try to give you some of the impressions I received of the Santee school, during the first days that I spent here, before I began to feel that I was a part of it.

The teachers and scholars were just returning after vacation. The teachers seemed especially happy in meeting the scholars and one another, and beginning work again. I had never known a company of people with so much care who seemed so light hearted and hopeful, and I thought “They love their work.”

The boys and girls seemed happy, too, and when I looked at their faces in the chapel and met them later in the home and school, I found in many of them a gentleness and frankness, a trustfulness and willingness to be taught, that surprised me. I had looked for less of these qualities than in white children, but I found more than would be found in most white schools.

Their reverence and attention in church, too, was in striking contrast with what I have seen in many places where the children seem to take no part in the worship. These children always take the attitude of devotion during prayer, and sit quietly and with serious demeanor through three or four services on Sunday. They seem to enjoy it, too, even when there is a part that they imperfectly understand, on account of the use of two languages in these services. They love Bible stories and hymns, and accept what they are taught concerning religious things, with a simplicity that I have been used to finding only in the youngest. Perhaps it is because they are so shut in by themselves here. They know little of the indifference or half concealed hostility to religious truth that is so common in larger communities, even among those who attend church regularly.

During the first weeks here, while our windows were constantly open, I was struck by the amount of singing I heard. From more than one of the houses where the scholars live I could hear the hymn sung at morning prayers; then came the voices of the school in their opening exercises, and later of the music classes. Beside this we often heard the boys and girls singing in recreation hours for pleasure, and again at night before retiring, their evening hymn. The sacred words and the young voices could not fail to bring good thoughts, and I was reminded of Luther’s saying, “The devil always flies from music, especially sacred music, because he is a gloomy spirit, and cannot bear joy and gladness.”

I am conscious that after three months here I see many things in a different light from that in which I first saw them. I have learned that there are some peculiar hindrances to teaching the Indians, so that it is by no means always easy. I have learned, also, that the teachers, with all their happiness in their work, see enough of sickness and ignorance and evil many times to make their hearts ache.

Yet the cheerful view I received at first was not a false one. There is more to make one sad here than in many other places, but there is also much to make one glad. There is the constant contact with young life, the opportunity to see how much the every-day blessings of home and school are worth to those who have not had them, the sympathy that comes from a common purpose frankly avowed, and in addition there are abundant opportunities and favorable conditions for teaching these boys and girls to love Christ, and to feel concerning themselves,

“He’s fitting us to enter
Into His service sweet.”

I think nearly all who are here, both teachers and scholars, feel that this lonely little cluster of buildings away off on an Indian reservation, is, for them, one of the best places the earth contains.

THE CHINESE.

BY REV. W. C. POND.

“A great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.”—1 Cor., xvi, 9.

What Paul experienced at Ephesus, we find to be true in our humble work among the Chinese in California. We are grateful that the door is open, and that it is as great and as effectual as it is. We cannot deny that there are also “many adversaries.”

Our Chinese brethren think that some of these, among their own countrymen, and even among the pupils in our schools, are peculiarly annoying. Jee Gam was telling me, a few days since, of an experience with one of these, which I asked him to write out for the readers of The American Missionary:

“Several months ago, while Mrs. Lamont, Gin Foo King and myself, were busily engaged in teaching the other scholars at the Barnes school, our attention was diverted by the voice of one who was not studying, but talking aloud. He was a pompous fellow, who, though he is only a servant, dresses like a very rich man. Working for $16 per month, he wears a purple figured silk coat and a gold bracelet. He puts on the appearance, in the school-room, of high breeding and great learning. As we listened to him, this is what we heard: ‘What doctrine have the foreigners? They have no duty between Emperor and officials, parents and children, elder and younger brother, husband and wife, or even between friends; but we, Chinese, are taught by our great sage, Confucius. His teaching on these duties is above all that men ever taught on earth. The foreigner has not the son of heaven (meaning the Emperor). When he is 21 years old he leaves his home and thinks no more of his parents; not only so, but leaves them to take care of themselves. The husband lends his wife to his friends, who walk with her arm in arm on the street. The way of courtship and marriage is like that of beasts. He knows no politeness, no integrity, no modesty, and no shame; in fact, all foreigners are barbarians. Confucius said: “I have heard of barbarians becoming Chinese, but have never heard of Chinese becoming barbarians.”’ He continued at length in that way. Gin Foo King and I listened till patience failed us. ‘Where did you get your knowledge about the foreigners?’ I asked. ‘What do you know of the Bible?’ He gave no answer. ‘Who are these people that Confucius called barbarians? Were they Americans, or English, or Germans? Would you take your teacher, Mrs. Lamont, for a barbarian? Would you claim that you are more enlightened than she?’ I then explained to him that those whom Confucius called barbarians were people within the Chinese Empire; his China was a small country, covering only a few of the present central provinces, and all the people outside that district were esteemed to be barbarians. There were no Americans when he lived, and as to English and Germans, he knew nothing about them. He did not call them barbarians.”

When the pupils heard this, they laughed at the pretentious scholar. Since then he does not loudly and boastfully contend; at least, in our presence; but I have reason to think that he works against us privately. We pray for him, and we hope that God will answer our prayers and open his eyes and change his heart, so that he may see the beauty and the excellence there is in Christ.

Our brethren are justified in praying for such adversaries. Some years ago one who had (for the sake of learning English) been very constant at the Oakland school, on becoming a Christian confessed that for months he had carried a pistol in his pocket, determined, if he could with safety, to shoot Jee Gam because of his zeal in leading his countrymen to Christ. We did not labor for that “adversary” in vain.

Another was formerly a constant attendant at the Bethany school, and a constant student of the New Testament. But it was in search of material with which to counteract the influence of helpers and teachers, and hold his fellow pupils firm to the ancestral faith. Among other passages he came upon that one in Matt. ix, 17, which speaks of the new wine in old bottles. It served his purpose admirably. “China,” he said, “is an old bottle, very old; you must not put this new doctrine into it; it will burst.” But Hong Sing, who was then a member of this school, answered him well: “It is not China that is old and weak, but our heathen customs of worshipping ancestors and buying luck at the shrine of Joss, etc., etc. Put the doctrine of Christ into these and it will burst them certainly; but put it into China, and it will make her stronger and fairer than ever.”

One Sunday evening, sitting in my study, preparing for our evening service, while the Chinese Sunday-school was going on in an adjoining room, I overheard some Chinaman vigorously exhorting the pupils. I went out to see who it was. It was this “adversary.” I asked what he was saying. “He is telling us,” a pupil replied, “that he has found out that Jesus is the true God and only Saviour, and asking us all to believe in Him.”

BUREAU OF WOMAN’S WORK.

A WEEK AT A NORMAL SCHOOL.

A visitor at one of our normal schools in the South asked the principal for a schedule of a week’s work, outside of the regular school duties. The visitor reports this school to be equal to Northern schools of the same grade and one where the aim is not only to promote good scholarship but also to develop earnest and intelligent Christian character.

HOW WE RAISED THE DEBT.

Mother was East and father had gone to the Association at Plankington. Only Taute was left to keep us straight. We had run through the list and done most everything, except going swimming and the pillow-fight. There were still several raw September days to be disposed of.

Putting the play-room to rights one day, our throats just ached for chocolate creams. We would make Taute pay so much a sight of the play-room in apple-pie order. Taute would not be taxed, but would like some jumping-jacks and nuns for her little Oahe girls, and we could come by our chocolate creams honestly.

It would be hard to tell how it all came about, for one said one thing and one another, until out of all the Babel and confusion we decided on a fair, a real missionary fair. How our tongues wagged while our fingers flew! How the jumping-jacks multiplied, and the sedate little nuns came trooping forth each with prayer-book and rosary, after whole families of pert-looking acorn dolls! As by magic the bright bits of paper grew into kites, mats and book-markers, and pen-wipers and pin-cushions; how could one have a fair without them!

The day came at last. We had from Thursday evening until the next Monday afternoon. (What a trying day Sunday was. Do you think it was very, very wicked counting our jacks and nuns, and seeing how much they would bring?)

The dining-room table Mamma let us have, and a string running across the room made a splendid trapeze, where the nuns flirted and danced with their jacks, the tea-kettles bubbled and the acorn baskets turned somersaults. Oh! ’twas just shocking! And the acorn dolls that kept watch over the fancy articles didn’t behave a bit better. They bowed and curtseyed until their heads bobbed off. Even the brave potato-man, who was marshal of the day, could scarcely sit still on his potato-horse. Perhaps they felt good because they were going to raise the A. M. A. debt.

And it was just as Mabel and Olive had said: Miss Haynes did buy a jack and Miss Leonard a nun, and Miss Ilsley and Miss Pratt both took dolls. Then those who had jacks wanted nuns and those who had nuns must have jacks, and no one could resist the acorn dolls, their heads rolled off so easily. Our buttonhole bouquets, too, were just one cent, and little Ruthie Chadbourne’s papa and mamma thought missionary candy very good for her, so they bought ever so many little scallop-shells full at five cents apiece.

Miss Hunter, of Greenwood, was here, and had to buy out of politeness, and when it was all over Mamma bought us out—that was, we are quite sure, out of kindness. We had forgotten to say that Father and Mother had come home. They had to come to help buy the things, you see. Now that it is all over, we want you should know what a happy time we had, and send you our pennies to raise the debt with. Your friends and co-workers,

Three Little Riggs Children
And Their Three Riggs-Warner Cousins.

P. S.—We have forgotten all about our chocolate creams.

but the ‘ATLANTIC’ remains the best distinctively literary Magazine in the country; a Magazine which
no person interested in the literary movement of the day cares to be without.
The programme which it has announced for the present year, is an exceptionally
attractive one.”—The Christian Union, New York.

Updated editions will replace the previous one—the old editions will be renamed.

Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without permission and without paying copyright royalties. Special rules, set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to copying and distributing Project Gutenberg™ electronic works to protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG™ concept and trademark. Project Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if you charge for an eBook, except by following the terms of the trademark license, including paying royalties for use of the Project Gutenberg trademark. If you do not charge anything for copies of this eBook, complying with the trademark license is very easy. You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose such as creation of derivative works, reports, performances and research. Project Gutenberg eBooks may be modified and printed and given away—you may do practically ANYTHING in the United States with eBooks not protected by U.S. copyright law. Redistribution is subject to the trademark license, especially commercial redistribution.

START: FULL LICENSE

THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK

To protect the Project Gutenberg™ mission of promoting the free distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work (or any other work associated in any way with the phrase “Project Gutenberg”), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project Gutenberg™ License available with this file or online at www.gutenberg.org/license.

Section 1. General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg™ electronic works

1.A. By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg™ electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property (trademark/copyright) agreement. If you do not agree to abide by all the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy all copies of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works in your possession. If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project Gutenberg™ electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.

1.B. “Project Gutenberg” is a registered trademark. It may only be used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg™ electronic works even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project Gutenberg™ electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg™ electronic works. See paragraph 1.E below.

1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation (“the Foundation” or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works. Nearly all the individual works in the collection are in the public domain in the United States. If an individual work is unprotected by copyright law in the United States and you are located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg are removed. Of course, we hope that you will support the Project Gutenberg™ mission of promoting free access to electronic works by freely sharing Project Gutenberg™ works in compliance with the terms of this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg™ name associated with the work. You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project Gutenberg™ License when you share it without charge with others.

1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States, check the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project Gutenberg™ work. The Foundation makes no representations concerning the copyright status of any work in any country other than the United States.

1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:

1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate access to, the full Project Gutenberg™ License must appear prominently whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg™ work (any work on which the phrase “Project Gutenberg” appears, or with which the phrase “Project Gutenberg” is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed, copied or distributed:

This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere in the United States and most other parts of the world at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org. If you are not located in the United States, you will have to check the laws of the country where you are located before using this eBook.

1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg™ electronic work is derived from texts not protected by U.S. copyright law (does not contain a notice indicating that it is posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work with the phrase “Project Gutenberg” associated with or appearing on the work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the Project Gutenberg™ trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.

1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg™ electronic work is posted with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional terms imposed by the copyright holder. Additional terms will be linked to the Project Gutenberg™ License for all works posted with the permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.

1.E.4. Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg™ License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg™.

1.E.5. Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project Gutenberg™ License.

1.E.6. You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary, compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any word processing or hypertext form. However, if you provide access to or distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg™ work in a format other than “Plain Vanilla ASCII” or other format used in the official version posted on the official Project Gutenberg™ website (www.gutenberg.org), you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon request, of the work in its original “Plain Vanilla ASCII” or other form. Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg™ License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

1.E.7. Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying, performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg™ works unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.

1.E.8. You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing access to or distributing Project Gutenberg™ electronic works provided that:

- • You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from the use of Project Gutenberg™ works calculated using the method you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark, but he has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax returns. Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the address specified in Section 4, “Information about donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.”

- • You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg™ License. You must require such a user to return or destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of Project Gutenberg™ works.

- • You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days of receipt of the work.

- • You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free distribution of Project Gutenberg™ works.

1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg™ electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the manager of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark. Contact the Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the “Right of Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark, and any other party distributing a Project Gutenberg™ electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the problem.

1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you ‘AS-IS’, WITH NO OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.

1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone providing copies of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works in accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg™ work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any Defect you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
