NO. 2. + + * * * * * + +OUR LIST OF MISSION FIELD WORKERS. + + +We commend to our readers the catalogue of our missionary workers and +their stations, in our magazine of this month. Mere names and places +have very little interest to the general reader, but a study of this +list to one who is interested in mission work, and who has the welfare +of his country at heart, will prove to be very suggestive. Some of the +larger institutions, schools and churches, are familiar to many, but +the greater number probably have never been located by our readers +upon the map. There are 243 stations with 617 workers. + +Each station represents a great deal of missionary consecration and +devoted service for the Master. Could our readers look in upon these +workers it would quicken the spirit of their own consecration and +benevolence. If they could hear the bell which early calls the +students to prayers, and to their studies; if they could unite with +those engaged in their morning devotions; if they could listen to the +faithful and able instruction of line upon line, and precept upon +precept, this list would cease to be a mere catalogue of names and +places, and would become alive with history. + +Nobly are these missionaries doing their work. Let them have the +prayerful sympathy of those whom they represent. Let them feel that +their burdens are lightened and their days are brightened because they +are remembered by their home churches. Do not forget them when you +utter the prayer of our Master, "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on +earth as it is in heaven." + +These missionaries, teachers, and ministers, do not ask the compassion +of those who remain at home. They are happy in their chosen work. They +see the need as it cannot be told. They have a rich reward in the +assurance that their lives, which they have invested in this way, are +bringing abundant returns. + +We call attention also to the supplemental list, which shows the names +and residences grouped together side by side. This grouping itself is +interesting as showing the nationality of our work. May we not hope +that these who have gone out from us shall be spared the anxiety and +sorrow which must come by a contraction of their work unless those +from whom they have gone shall be able to meet its pecuniary +necessities? Will not those to whom these words shall come unite their +prayers and contributions with those of the faithful workers at the +front, that they may be saved from the disaster of retreat from the +work to which they have given their hearts and hands? + +MEMORANDUM.--It would be well for those who are interested in the +American Missionary Association work to preserve this February +magazine, because it contains the catalogue of our workers for the +year. + + * * * * * + +HOWARD UNIVERSITY, THEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT. + + +The Junior class is the best qualified that has entered within the +knowledge of the present teachers. The general standard of scholarship +steadily advances. The students are very useful in all kinds of church +and mission work in the city. Rev. C. H. Butler is doing excellent +work in place of his honored father, who was so long connected with +us. Dr. Pitzer, of the Southern Presbyterian Church, who was also long +our faithful co-worker, gave an eloquent address at our last +anniversary, and has just kindly remembered us with a valuable gift to +our library. Rev. Mr. Reoch, the new pastor of the Fifth +Congregational Church, is doing enthusiastic work in Rev. Mr. Jones' +place, and in place of Rev. Mr. Small, Rev. Dr. Little gives our +students the benefit of his rich experience as their instructor in +pastoral theology. + + * * * * * + + +McINTOSH, GEORGIA. + +PROF. FRED. W. FOSTER. + + +We are beginning our year's work with much better promise than in any +previous year. Our enrollment is a fourth greater now than at the +close of October last year, when it was greater than ever before at +that time. Our boarding department is also filling up much faster. +Better than this is the very marked gain in the tone of the school and +in the character of the work done, and the orderliness and +studiousness of the pupils. It is cheering to look through the various +rooms and note the cheerful diligence with which they are at work. +The reverse side of all this is our lack of room, and the great +poverty of our people this year, caused by a most unfavorable season. +The generosity of our friends at the North can help us meet the +latter, and Christian Endeavor Hall would completely remove the former +difficulty. + + * * * * * + +FINANCIAL STATEMENT. + + +For the three months ending December 31, 1894, our receipts, as +compared with the corresponding months of the previous year, show a +slight increase in donations, but a falling off in estates, income and +tuition. The last item is sad, but not surprising, for the people in +the South are so utterly impoverished that the payment of tuition is +well-nigh impossible. On the side of expenditures, as compared with +last year, there has been reduction in all items, mission, +publication, collecting agency and administration, and yet the balance +of indebtedness for the three months is $15,671.10, which, added to +the previous indebtedness of $66,360.97, makes a total of $82,032.07. +We can only lay these figures before the friends of the poorest and +most depressed of the people of our land and invoke such help as +patriotism and Christianity will dictate. + + * * * * * + +LINCOLN MEMORIAL DAY. + + +We call the attention of our readers once more to the observance of +Lincoln Memorial Day, February 10th being the Sunday nearest the +birthday of the Great Emancipator. Last year, in accordance with the +recommendation of our annual meeting, the churches interested in our +great work were invited to observe the day in commemoration of the +emancipation of the slaves in its bearings on the great work which +emancipation involved--the preparation of these people for their new +life. We regard the renewal of this observance as specially fitting +now, because the colored people of the South are passing through a +terrible ordeal, and need all the encouragement and help that is +possible, to save them from utter discouragement. It is said that the +work of this Association is among the agencies most helpful in their +elevation. Last year a Concert Exercise was prepared in this office +for the use of Sunday-schools, giving a sketch of the life of the +Great Emancipator. We have copies remaining, which we will gladly +forward when requested to do so. Pastors and school superintendents +may vary this exercise by introducing other patriotic addresses or +hymns in place of those given. + + * * * * * + +LEWIS TAPPAN, ESQ. + + +Probably the two most unpopular men in New York fifty years ago were +Arthur and Lewis Tappan. They were ostracized, ridiculed, slandered, +mobbed, and their lives threatened. It is said that the best apples in +the orchard are on the tree that has the most clubs under it. If this +rule applies to people as well, then the Tappans were very good men. +They were honest and prosperous in business; they were sincere and +active Christians, giving liberally to all forms of benevolent effort, +foreign and home missions, the Bible and Tract Societies, theological +and college education, but their one great fault was _they were +abolitionists_--a fault that covered a multitude of their virtues. +They were both deeply interested in the American Missionary +Association, but Mr. Lewis Tappan was most active in its behalf, and +it is of him that we wish to speak. + +[Illustration: (Portrait of Lewis Tappan.)] + +Lewis Tappan took a prominent part in the organization of some of the +missionary societies that preceded the American Missionary +Association, and that were finally merged into it. He was very +efficient in his activities in securing the organization of the +Association, was present at the meeting in Albany, was elected one of +its executive board, and its first treasurer. This last office he held +for many years, entirely without compensation. He interested himself +in every form of its activities, and was a frequent contributor to THE +AMERICAN MISSIONARY. A * affixed to many articles shows a portion of +his contributions to the early issues of this periodical. + +Mr. Tappan was an earnest Christian man and very conscientious in +regard to the distribution of his wealth. He wrote two tracts, +endeavoring to show that men should not accumulate property to be left +to be subject to litigation after death, but that it should be +expended during life. Mr. Tappan lived up to his own theory--giving +much during life and leaving little at his death. + +Mr. Tappan had the gratification of seeing the slaves emancipated and +the still greater gratification of aiding with all his strength of +brain and purse in fitting them for the responsibilities and +privileges of their new life. His was a life worth living. + + * * * * * + +HON. WILLIAM JACKSON. + + +[Illustration: (Portrait of William Jackson)] + +When the American Missionary Association was formed in 1846 it was so +unpopular on account of its anti-slavery attitude that it was not easy +to find an able and influential man with sufficient courage to accept +its presidency. But the man was found. Hon. William Jackson, a citizen +of Boston, and an active and successful business man, was so deeply in +sympathy with the poor slave that he was willing to assume the +position, and all the more because others shrunk from it. Mr. Jackson +was a member of the Massachusetts Legislature, and afterward was +elected to Congress, and was subsequently reelected for another term +by an almost unanimous vote. He was selected by the Liberty Party as +its first candidate for Governor of the State of Massachusetts. He was +a warm and efficient advocate of the temperance cause. He devoted much +of his time and energies to the establishment of railroads in +Massachusetts--among others the Boston and Albany, Boston and +Worcester, and Providence and Worcester. In various capacities as +director or general agent he rendered efficient service in the work of +these roads. But the charm of Mr. Jackson's life was its Christian +element. At the age of thirty-seven he moved to Newton, Mass., where +he spent the remainder of his life. He was actively engaged in the +erection of the church edifice and gathering the new church, and was +steadfast in his attendance at the prayer meeting, monthly concert, +Sunday-school, and other exercises. Advancing years and failing health +led him to make a somewhat extended trip through Europe. But life was +coming to its end, and it closed with him in deepening interest in the +cause of Christ at home and abroad, and in the strongest assurances of +a triumphant faith. + + * * * * * + +S'KOKOMISH MISSION. + + +The venerable Dr. Cushing Eells left behind him many mementoes of his +remarkable activity in promoting educational and missionary work in +Oregon and Washington, on the Pacific coast. Nor with his decease has +his good work ceased. Two sons of his have gone forward in similar +lines of effort. His son, Major Edwin Eells, was one of the first +nominees of the American Missionary Association under General Grant's +Peace Policy, and he was renominated by us so long as we were allowed +to make nominations, and he has been continued ever since, making a +total service of twenty-three years and a half. During this time the +Indians have received titles to their lands and have become citizens. +His effective hand has been seen in all their improvement. But now we +learn that he has been notified that he is soon to be relieved. His +removal is said to be due solely to politics. We are sorry for the +Indians, and we are ashamed of a Government that will deprive them for +partisan purposes of a good agent. + +Another son of Dr. Eells, Rev. Myron Eells, was appointed as a +missionary at the S'kokomish Agency by the American Board, and when the +transfer of missions was made he was continued at the post under the +American Missionary Association--a position that he still holds. The +subjoined sketch from his pen shows that in point of honesty, in some +respects, at least, the Indians surpass their white neighbors. + + * * * * * + +HONORABLE RECORD FOR INDIANS. + +BY REV. MYRON EELLS, S'KOKOMISH AGENCY, WASHINGTON. + + +During the late financial stringency the principal business man near +this reservation failed, and put his property into the hands of a +receiver. The S'kokomish Indians owed him about three thousand dollars, +and the whites owed him over twenty thousand. The first business of +the receiver was to try to collect these debts. After he had made +considerable effort in this direction he said to me substantially as +follows: "These Indians have made more honest efforts to pay these +debts than the whites have, as a whole." + +As the Indians have become citizens they have been required to work +road taxes among their other duties. The road supervisor said to me: +"I obtained more satisfactory work out of the Indians than I did out +of the white men." The Indians had often said that the roads were +theirs, and they wanted to use them, so that they were not losing +anything, even if they worked a little over their time, and several of +them who were over fifty years of age voluntarily gave a day's work or +two. While the Indians by no means always do as I wish to have them, +yet these facts are encouraging. + +[Illustration: MISSION HOME, S'KOKOMISH.] + + * * * * * + +THE TRIALS OF MISSIONARY LIFE.--The hardships and dangers to which our +Indian missionaries are exposed are illustrated in the sad experience +of Rev. T. L. Riggs, the superintendent of the missions of the +Association at Oahe, S. D. + +The exposure to the blazing sun and cutting winds and excessive cold +of the Dakota winters has produced acute inflammation of the eyes, so +that Mr. Riggs is entirely blind. We trust this is only temporary, but +the pain and confinement in a dark room, and necessary retirement from +the active work which Supt. Riggs so energetically carries on, are a +painful trial, and will awaken the sympathy of all our readers. + +A sad affliction has also befallen our honored missionary, Dr. A. L. +Riggs, and his family, of Santee, Neb. Their little grandson, the +child of the missionary daughter in China, has recently died of +small-pox under very painful circumstances. The entire family in China +had this disease, but at last accounts all but the little child were +recovering. + + * * * * * + +GRAND VIEW, TENN. + +BY SECRETARY RYDER. + + +I reached Pleasant Hill last Saturday, driving from Grand View. It is +of Grand View that I want to report first. + +They are in the best condition that I have ever seen. The teachers are +doing well, and the new pastor has taken hold most earnestly and +successfully. + +No one can question the bringing in of the mountain people, both in +church and school. More than two-thirds of the pupils are of native +families, and the native people are filling the church. Mr. Dorman, +the new pastor, has put the second service into the evening again, so +as to get more of the mountain folk, and he succeeds. It was a grand +thing to get him, coming with so good an education and devoted spirit. +The people are feeling happier than for years, and cooperating +cordially. + +The institute is full. They cannot get on without more room. In the +primary grade they enroll sixty-nine, and have seats for twenty-eight. +The attendance is fairly well up to the enrollment and they absolutely +cannot get on long this way. It is a splendid work. The American +Missionary Association has reason to be proud of it, but it seems +imperative to have more room. + +The work all over this portion of the mountains is thoroughly +encouraging. + + * * * * * + +GOSPEL TRANSFORMATIONS. + +BY A MOUNTAIN PREACHER. + + +This autumn has been for me a season of hard labor, and, at the same +time, one of great rejoicing. For more than a month I have been +laboring night and day almost incessantly striving to lead souls to +Jesus, and the dear Lord has blessed me to see more than thirty happy +conversions. Tired, almost exhausted, still I must press on, for there +is yet much to be done. + +In the meetings held this fall I have realized more fully than ever +before in my life the mighty power of the Spirit, and the blessedness +of the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ. + +At a place in Scott County, Tenn., where I held a ten days' meeting, +this fact of the Holy Spirit's power and the blessedness of the +Christian religion was most beautifully illustrated, as the following +incident will show. + +When I began preaching there the neighborhood was in a universal state +of ferment. Fussings, fightings, hard feelings between neighbors were +everywhere; and between denominations most bitter prejudice and cruel +jealousies. There were men there, close neighbors and kinsfolk, who +had not spoken to each other for three years. Some were so angry with +each other that they were fighting occasionally and trying to kill +each other. They came to church with their pistols in their pockets to +shoot each other, and I expected that we might have war in the church +yard at any time and men killed. But while they held their thumbs on +their pistol hammers I wielded the hammer of God's word with +unrelenting force. While they were getting ready to fire revolvers I +was firing red hot gospel shot into them with deadly effect. Their +hard hearts softened, they weakened, they fell before the sword of the +Spirit. Strong men broke down and wept like children. Grasping each +other by the hand, embracing each other in their arms amidst a flood +of tears, they confessed to each other their faults, and begged pardon +and prayed and shouted as I never saw men do before in my life. +Hostile enemies were made happy friends, would-be murderers were +converted to God, hard feelings among neighbors were swept away, +denominational prejudice was forgotten, and brotherly love and +Christian peace reigned supreme. And besides this some twenty-five +precious souls were saved; among them an old grandmother was brought +to Jesus. And still the good work goes on. + +Praise the Lord for His wonderful love and for His mighty power which +He has manifested in the salvation of precious souls. + + * * * * * + +THE POOR HELPING THE POOREST. + +_A Charming Picture of Self-Sacrifice._ + +PROFESSOR F. T. WATERS. + + +The extreme poverty among many of the colored people of Wilmington, N. +C., led me to think that there would be many families that would have +no Christmas gifts unless given by those who could spare, even from +their scant living, a portion to be given to those wholly destitute. +Accordingly I invited the children in all the rooms in Gregory +Institute to bring such offerings as they were willing to make, to be +afterward distributed to those who otherwise would have no Christmas +and were without the necessities of life even. The idea seemed to meet +with general approval among teachers and pupils. Friday, the last day +before the Christmas vacation, was appointed to bring in the gifts, +and the amount contributed wholly exceeded our most extravagant hopes. +Shortly after 8 o'clock the school children began to arrive laden with +gifts, consisting of almost every imaginable article that could be +used. Some brought a sweet potato--always the largest they could +find--others a pound of sugar, rice, flour, bacon, pork, beans, peas, +corn meal, cabbages, turnips, tea, coffee, matches, apples, oranges, +grits, and if there are any other things to be found among eatables I +think I can produce them from the packages now deposited in the sewing +room. + +Besides this quite a quantity of wood was brought, and a good +supply--several bundles, at least--of fat pine for lighters, and +considerable clothing. One special gift I must mention. It was from a +little girl in the primary class. The girl is about eleven or twelve +years old, and very poor. She worked all last summer and saved her +money to pay her tuition in our school this year, and, as I have +learned, had secured nearly enough to pay her tuition during the year. +But, alas, poor little Mary. For some reason, probably to get the food +necessary to live, her mother was obliged to take her hard earned and +slowly accumulated money, and before school began she found that what +she had so long hoped and planned for she could not realize. However, +she did not give up her cherished plan of coming to school, but worked +away, got her some clothes, and about the first of November presented +herself as wishing to come to school. She brought all the money she +had left, _ten cents_, and said if I would only let her come she was +sure she could pay the rest before long. I kept track of her and found +from her teacher that the poor girl could not obtain anything further +for her tuition, but that she was a very promising girl, so I have let +her come, and I have prayed that some one may be led to contribute $8 +for her tuition. But what surprised me most was the Christmas offering +this child made. Just before school called, she came tugging two large +sticks of wood, the combined weight being twenty pounds. This she had +got cut into two pieces and had carried it more than a mile in order +that some one poorer than she might be blessed at Christmas time. This +little incident made me feel that I had never known sacrifice +before--for here was one who often goes hungry to bed, without any of +the comforts of life, yet to make others happy gave literally "all she +had." Truly were the blessed Lord here His words regarding the poor +widow must have been repeated. I feel that the wood she brought is +almost too sacred to be put to common use. I would that a piece of it +were in every Christian home to teach the lesson of true sacrifice. + +On Christmas morning a dozen homes will be made happy by these humble +gifts. One old lady in our visits we found so destitute that she had +tasted nothing from Saturday night till Tuesday, when one of the girls +of Gregory school took her in her breakfast. The old lady telling +about it said she knew the Lord would not let her starve. The teachers +have voluntarily taxed themselves ten cents a month, which provides +for her food at least. I need not multiply these cases. Many +sacrifices in kind, if not in degree, could be mentioned equal to that +of little Mary, and many cases of need as extreme as that of "Aunt +Maggie." The scanty purses of the A. M. A. teachers, many of whom, as +in my own case, are obliged to economize in every way to keep our own +families from actual want, are inadequate to meet the demand, and why +should we multiply their cases on our minds when we are powerless to +help? + + * * * * * + +CHILDREN'S CAUSES FOR THANKFULNESS. + +MISS LILLIAN L. GOAR, BLOWING ROCK, N. C. + + +_Dear Friends_: I want to tell you of our Junior Thanksgiving service +last Wednesday eve. The meeting was led by a Junior. After prayer by +one of the members the leader asked of each one: "What have _you_ to +be thankful for?" We had so many blessings given that a large +blackboard was covered, with reports of the many "thankfulnesses." The +following are a few of the many: "For Christ most of all," "the Holy +Bible," "health," "warm sunshine," "blue sky," "I don't know of +anything I'm _not_ thankful for," "for plenty of everything, bread and +fruit and everything to eat," "for forgiveness," "Junior meetings," +"to bring wood and water for our mothers and fathers." One of the +several four-year-olds in school was thankful for a "stove, love (for) +our brothers, to play, eatin' an' things to cook it in." + +And this same little boy, who comes from a home anything but +attractive, had this sentence in his prayer, "thankful for home." +Another dear Junior was thankful for good times and "for my little +sister an' father an' mother." "The privilege to go to school" was +another cause of thankfulness, while many times, both in prayer and +speaking, was "the dear teacher" mentioned. + +The prayers were earnest, simple and sincere, and I felt much nearer +heaven after the little ones had gone from their childish meeting. And +I felt more than ever before the divine presence with us. The Juniors +carry their Christian ideas into everything. In school one day I asked +"What is the _heart_ for?" And a little girl (a Junior) replied +quickly "To let _Jesus_ come in." + +As the hoped-for advancement lies with the children, I feel that the +work is very encouraging. + + * * * * * + +TO HELP HER OWN PEOPLE.--A minister in a Northern State sends to us a +check for $500, which he says is the gift of a colored lady of over +seventy years of age, to aid in the education of her people in the +South. She has $500 more, which she retained for the present in view +of emergencies, but which she intends ultimately to give to the +Association for the same purpose. The minister says she is +intelligent, a diligent reader, and an interesting person to meet. She +has been a tailoress and probably has earned most of her money with +her needle. Such a person is an honor to her race and to the church of +Christ. + + * * * * * + +CONTRASTS OF MISSION CHURCH WORK. + +BY SEC. F. P. WOODBURY. + + +Our mission churches of the South reach different classes of people. +Some are in the large cities, others in populous towns, others in +smaller country villages, and still others in entirely rural districts +among the plantations. The methods of these churches vary as widely as +their location. Some of them take advantage of institutional methods +of church work in all their various forms of Christian service. Many +churches which do not undertake so large a distribution of effort +still have their circles of King's Sons and Daughters, missionary +societies, and, almost everywhere, their Christian Endeavor Societies. +Many of the smaller churches have day schools closely associated with +the congregation, sometimes under the conduct of the pastor or his +wife, or both. + +[Illustration: HOWARD CHAPEL AND PARSONAGE.] + +Among our more prominent churches is the Howard Chapel, of Nashville, +Tenn., a picture of which, with the new parsonage, is found on this +page. This church is located on the original site of Fisk University, +and was formerly the chapel of the University. The building is a +commodious brick structure. The church has had many fluctuations in +its membership and condition, but under its present pastor, Rev. J. E. +Moorland, formerly Y. M. C. A. secretary at Washington, D. C., it has +taken on new life and vigor. The membership has rapidly grown. All the +various forms of Christian activity are thoroughly organized, and the +pastor has commended himself not only to the members of the church and +congregation, but to the residents of all that portion of the city. +Lately the congregation took up the question of affording their pastor +a parsonage, and have built a neat and comfortable structure at the +side of the church, which they are now making payment for from their +own means. + +[Illustration: THE McELDERRY MISSION, ALA.] + +In strong contrast with this city church work is the McElderry +Mission, formed and carried on by Rev. J. M. Roan, of Ironaton, Ala. +Mr. Roan, like many other pastors, was anxious that his church should +take hold of aggressive Christian work, and formed a mission at some +distance from the church, out among the plantations. His young men +took hold vigorously with him in the new work and put up the log cabin +chapel, which is shown in the accompanying illustration. It is an +interesting indication of their Christian consecration that the +members of this mission church were so desirous to take hold +themselves of mission work among those of their people still less +favored than they. Mr. Roan says that they are proud of their little +log cabin mission, and that its congregation has steadily increased. +There are now nine Congregational members living near the mission. Of +late there has been quite a desire on the part of many to build a +church in place of the mission cabin, and the people are already +beginning to raise means for this purpose. A flourishing Sunday-school +is carried on in connection with this mission work. + + * * * * * + +GLEAMS OF SUNSHINE. + +BY REV. W. C. POND, D.D. + + +The new year of our Chinese Mission opened cloudily. We had passed +through three months of close and anxious questioning about ways and +means; most of the teachers and helpers had received no salary for +from one to three months. Hard times had been crowding our Chinese out +of employment. Families in which they had served felt compelled to do +without them. They were moving to and fro with less inclination to +study, or, possibly, to listen to the word of life, than in the days +when plenty of hard work left them weary in frame, but not heartsore. + +At any rate--for these reasons or for others--the reports for +September were, on the whole, less cheering, I think, than any I had +ever received; but now, with the October reports all at hand, we find +the clouds breaking away and have "sunshine in our souls." + +The membership of the schools was larger by 33 and the average +attendance by 17, but the gleams that bring best cheer are such as +these: + +From Chin Foy, in Sacramento: "Eight names have been signed to pledge +cards for the Christian Endeavor members. Hope this society will be +established before long. Four new members have united with our +Association [thus professing faith in Christ and full consecration to +Him. W. C. P.], and three brethren expect to be baptized by Dr. Hoyt +and to unite with the church next communion. Thank God for His +blessing. The work is encouraging lately." This brother, whose name +may be familiar to the constant and attentive readers of THE +MISSIONARY, and who has been for ten years or more one of our most +useful helpers, instructs me to reduce his scanty salary two-thirds +(from $30 to $10 per month), and will try to make up what is lacking +by other work, so that with our reduced resources our work may not be +hindered. + +Loo Quong writes from Fresno concerning a sick brother who was +converted in China, and has never been identified with any of our +missions: "Miss Beaton [the teacher] found him sick on the street and +asked him to come and live in the mission, in God's name. No one dared +to speak for him to help him in any way whatever, outside our mission. +I asked him, at length, after he had been with us many months, if he +would like to go back home. He says it would be the best way. Thus far +I succeeded in taking up subscriptions for his passage. [There are +$45.30 outside of Fresno, and $28 which was taken up here.] The +Christian Endeavor of the Congregational Church, through Rev. J. H. +Collins, their pastor, gave him passage from here to San Francisco. It +was a kind act of them all. I think God has blessed us all by enabling +us to have this thing done so well in His name, because Mr. Lai Fat +[the beneficiary] is not a member of the Association, nor have any of +us known him before. May God send him to his family all right, and may +his family be blessed through his return to them, and may the Lord +spare him many days with his family in order to lead them to Christ!" +Surely there is a gleam of sunshine in this act of Christian love. +All, or nearly all, our missions joined in it. It is really no unusual +thing with us. + +Miss Bradley, of Ventura, writes: "As soon as Yong Kay came [who +divides his time as helper between the two neighboring missions of +Santa Barbara and Ventura] he began measures to revive our C. E. +Society, and now we have one of twelve members. Its meeting are held +on Friday evening, commencing about 9 o clock, and continuing +indefinitely. It is wonderful how they seem to realize the meaning of +the pledge and keep true to it. There is no lagging; no 'awful +pauses.' About two weeks ago they began preparations for a Christian +Endeavor social. Invitations were sent out to all the ministers and +other Christians specially interested in missions. More than fifty +assembled and listened to the programme, which lasted about an hour. +Yong Kay's address was very fine; his use of Scripture was so apt, and +his illustrations so good, Yong Wo Quon, a good, earnest Christian, +will join the church next Sunday morning. I am satisfied that he +understands the step he is taking, and that he will be a great help to +us." + +In like manner from Santa Cruz comes this word: "I am most happy to +write that the Chinese I asked you to pray for has joined the +Association and is very happy in our Christian work. Let us continue +to pray for two others who are holding back, but are 'almost +persuaded,'" and from Joe Dun, in our new mission at Watsonville, +this: "We do thank the Lord for His choosing and saving souls. Tuesday +evening of last week one of the associate members [_i.e._, of the new +C. E. society] became active. Last night we have meeting, and he rose +and gave testimony. Said he: 'I am glad to-night, for I believed in +Jesus Christ, and He will save my soul.'" + +But my space is more than filled. We rejoice and take courage. + + * * * * * + +TRIBUTE TO OUR MISSIONARIES. + + +Apropos of the roll of our missionaries and teachers we quote an +eloquent tribute from one of the children of the American Missionary +Association who is now the strong pastor of a strong church in the +South. He alludes to a teacher who had devoted many years of her life +to our missionary work and had brought to it a sweetness of spirit and +devotion that had won the confidence and inspired the zeal of those +for whom she labored. We quote: + +"The work which these teachers did was the result of no small +sacrifice. For a woman to leave her Northern home of comfort and +refinement to come South to engage in such a work and all that it +implies was not a popular thing even at the North, but in spite of +unpopularity at the North and unworthy treatment at the South, these +self-exiled men and women wrought wonderfully. They proved the best +friends that the black man has ever had. In the school they showed us +the light of letters, which had never before dawned upon us. In the +church they showed us the Light of the world, which was strangely dim +in our souls. In the shop they showed us the light of life about us, +of which we were densely ignorant. Thoughtful minds, skillful hands, +enlightened hearts--this is the heritage they brought us. + +"Throughout the length and breadth of the Southland there are such +women among us working in a humble way. The work done by these moral +heroes and heroines is work in the shade, but one day, when the +sunlight of God's justice shall shine upon it, as it surely will, men +will see it and admire it. For these friends we are devoutly grateful. +Deep down in our hearts, too deep in many cases for tears, lies the +feeling of whole-souled gratitude for these moral heroes and heroines. +The half has never been told. We thank God for those who left home and +went to the war to die, if need be, that the slave might be free. But +we thank God equally for those brave men and braver women who, before +the smoke of battle cleared away, came South, and, with the spelling +book in one hand and God's holy word in the other, set the millions of +freedmen on the way toward reading, reasoning and righteousness. +Around God's throne may their crowns of life eternal glitter with the +penitential tears of a grateful people redeemed unto a common Father +by their prayers, their tears, their lives!" + + * * * * * + +Our last Annual Report is printed, and will be sent to those making +application for it to this office. + + * * * * * + +THE FIELD. + +1894-1895. + + +The following list gives the names of those who are in the work of the +Churches, Institutions and Schools of the American Missionary +Association. + + +THE SOUTH. + + Rev.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm 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 web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread 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 https://pglaf.org + +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 including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain 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 Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +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. |
