+
+The receipts are $237,141.25, exclusive of Reserve Legacy Account, an
+increase of $24,922,63 compared with last year. There has been an
+increase of $15,751.36 in donations, $5,800.96 in estates, $852,26 in
+income and $2,518.05 in tuition.
+
+The expenditures are $249,148.75, an increase of $21,699.95 compared
+with last year. The debt showing June 30th, this year, is
+$12,007.50--last year at the same time $15,230.18.
+
+We appeal to churches, Sunday-schools, Christian Endeavor Societies,
+Woman's Missionary Societies and individuals, and also to executors
+of estates, to secure as large a sum as possible for remittance in
+July, August and September. The fiscal year closes September 30th. We
+hope to receive from all sources every possible dollar. The
+Association closed the year 1897-98 without debt, and the year
+1898-99 without debt, and it earnestly desires to close this year,
+1899-1900 without debt.

+[Sidenote: Annual Meeting, Oct. 23d-25th.]
+
+The Fifty-fourth Annual Meeting of the American Missionary
+Association is to be held in Springfield, Mass., October 23d-25th.
+The Court Square Theatre has been secured, containing the largest
+auditorium in the city. A great gathering is anticipated. Rev. Newell
+Dwight Hillis, D.D., will preach the sermon. Reports from the large
+and varied fields will be presented by missionaries. The fields now
+reach from Porto Rico to Alaska, and present various and interesting
+conditions of life. The great problems of national and missionary
+importance that are pressing themselves upon the attention of
+Christian patriots everywhere will be ably discussed. Contributing
+churches, local conferences and state associations are entitled to
+send delegates to this convention of the American Missionary
+Association.
+
+
+[Sidenote: A New Departure Program.]
+
+Santee Training School presented a unique and interesting program at
+the closing exercises, June 15th, 1900. "A New Departure Program for
+Closing of School" was the title upon the printed page. The program
+was divided into two parts. Part first was confined to history. The
+general subject presented in the papers was "The Development of
+Civilized Ways of Living." One of the Indian pupils read a paper on
+"First Ways of Getting Food and Clothing." Another on "First
+Dwellings." The future as well as the past in race development and
+elevation was considered. "Beginning to Provide for the Future" was
+the subject of another paper. "Clothing" was discussed in relation to
+its production and value.
+
+The second part of this "New Departure Program" presented science in
+a practical and helpful way. The general subject was "Natural Forces
+are for Human Use." Interesting and valuable papers were presented on
+such themes as "Wind Mills," "Non-conduction in Electricity," "Plant
+Breathing," "Food Stored," and other suggestive and important
+subjects. Throughout abundant illustrations were presented impressing
+upon these Indian boys and girls important lessons in independence
+and self-control and self-help essential to development and progress.
+Santee is to be commended surely for this new departure, which must
+prove not only interesting but of permanent value in race elevation.
+
+
+[Sidenote: A New Departure Program.]
+
+The attention of the whole world has been focalized on China during
+the past few weeks. Many hearts are deeply anxious for friends who
+are in the midst of this upheaval and whose lives are threatened.
+Beginning with mobs instigated by a secret society, apparently
+without preconcertion, a state bordering upon war now exists. Whether
+the Empress Dowager is at the head of this movement it seems
+impossible to decide. The conservative element of the Chinese is
+certainly in sympathy with the Boxers in their effort to exterminate
+the "foreign devils." What the outcome of this insane uprising and
+mad onslaught involving substantial war against the civilized nations
+of the world will be, no prophet of modern times can foretell. Many
+of us wait with anxious and sorrowful hearts for messages which we
+hope and yet fear to receive, lest they confirm our apprehension and
+alarm.
+
+We hope to present in the next issue of the MISSIONARY an article
+from Rev. Jee Gam, the missionary of the A. M. A. in San Francisco,
+giving his views and interpretations of the trouble in China. This
+Association is closely related to the great work in this Empire
+through the missions in our own country among the Chinese. How much
+the civilized nations are responsible for the present condition
+through their eager and often ill-advised efforts to absorb the
+territory, or to gain political and commercial advantages, is a
+serious problem. The need of aggressive and earnest work for the
+Chinese who come to our own country is emphasized by these alarming
+conditions. Hundreds should be sent back as missionaries to their own
+people. We hold the key to the solution of foreign missions in
+Africa, China and Japan in members of these races in our own country.
+
+
+[Sidenote: A United Annual Meeting.]
+
+Several state and local conferences have passed resolutions in favor
+of one annual meeting for all our six missionary societies. Such a
+convention would probably occupy a week. Each society would have
+representation during such a portion of the time as the magnitude of
+the work represented demanded. The general sentiment seems to be that
+the Sabbath should be used as a day of missionary and spiritual
+arousement, for the general interests of the Kingdom of God, as
+represented through our denomination. This plan met the cordial
+approval of the Home Missionary Convention in Detroit recently. It is
+certainly worthy of the careful consideration of all our societies.
+
+
+[Sidenote: The Testimony of Prof. Roark.]
+
+Prof. R. M. Roark, of the Kentucky State College, at the commencement
+of Chandler Normal School, Lexington, Ky., bore the following
+testimony to the strength and value of the negroes of the South:
+"Forty years ago the race had nothing; now property in the hands of
+the negro has an assessed valuation of nearly five hundred million
+dollars. Not a few individuals are worth seventy-five thousand to one
+hundred thousand dollars. Forty years ago it was a violation of the
+law to teach a negro; now there are thousands of children in good
+schools; and there are two hundred higher institutes of learning for
+negroes, with an attendance of two hundred thousand or more. There
+are many successful teachers, editors, lawyers, doctors and ministers
+who are negroes. All these professions are fully and ably represented
+here, in conservative and aristocratic Lexington, and as regards
+these men and women there is no race problem. Worth, honesty, clear
+knowledge, self-respect and independent support lie at the foundation
+of any citizenship, white or black. May these young graduates carry
+these with them into the life conflict, and be the leaders of their
+race into the widest opportunities of free American citizenship."
+
+
+[Sidenote: Splendid Benefactions.]
+
+Mr. Rossiter Johnson has recently compiled a list of bequests to
+benevolent objects during the last year in the United States. This is
+a remarkable showing. The grand total is nearly sixty-three million
+dollars. The year previous it reached the good sum of thirty-eight
+million, and in 1897, forty-five million. In three years, therefore,
+over one hundred and forty million dollars have been bestowed by
+generous men and women for charitable and educational objects. There
+never has been a time in the history of the world when generosity and
+riches were so often held in possession of the same person as to-day.
+
+
+[Sidenote: Important.]
+
+Mr. R. H. Learell, of the Class of 1901, at Harvard University, was
+awarded the first prize in the Harvard Bowdoin Series. His subject
+was "The Race Problems in the South."
+
+An interesting and valuable lecture was delivered before the students
+of Western Reserve University, Ohio, by Prof. O. H. Tower, Ph.D. His
+subject was "The Food of the Alabama Negro and its Relation to His
+Mental and Moral Development."
+
+
+[Sidenote: A Useful Record.]
+
+LeMoyne Normal Institute, at Memphis, Tenn., has just completed the
+twenty-ninth year of its history. It was founded by the American
+Missionary Association in October, 1871. The work of the school has
+grown into large proportions. The enrollment of students for the year
+has numbered 725 in all grades. More than 200 of these have studied
+in the normal department. They are thus fitting themselves for
+teaching among their people in the public and private schools of the
+state.
+
+The graduating class of 1900 consisted of twenty. Dr. LeMoyne, of
+Washington, Pa., after whom the institute is named, gave the ground
+and the buildings and the original outlay. The American Missionary
+Association has maintained the work during these twenty-nine years.
+The Alumni Association of the institute has contributed generously in
+proportion to their means to the work at the school. The Alumni have
+been much interested in the development of the industrial department,
+and have contributed for that purpose. Woodworking, cooking and
+nursing classes will be conducted in the school next year, offering
+still larger opportunities for the training of these young people for
+a larger and more useful life-work.
+
+
+[Sidenote: Whittier High School.]
+
+The closing exercises of Whittier High School were held in the
+Congregational Church, on the 18th of May. This school is situated in
+the Highlands of North Carolina. It reaches the young people of a
+considerable area, and is an influence for large good among them.
+Among the speeches or essays presented at the closing exercises, was
+one entitled: "The South, Her Strength and Weakness." It is a hopeful
+sign that the young men of the South, who are to be the leaders in
+their section, are seriously considering these problems. In the "New
+South," a large element of strength and progress will come from the
+educated young men of the Highlands. They are somewhat slow to be
+moved, but are strong, steadfast and courageous in the defense of
+that which they believe to be right, when they do move.
+
+
+[Sidenote: Grit that Wins.]
+
+In one of our schools among the American Highlanders a young
+mountaineer, then scarcely out of his teens, applied for membership.
+When asked what funds he had to support him in his proposed study, he
+replied: "Only fifty cents." He had dependent upon him two sisters, a
+brother and his mother. It seemed rather limited capital for such an
+undertaking. He went to work, however, cutting logs, built a
+log-cabin, moved into it with his family, and with an eagerness that
+can scarcely be appreciated by those who have had larger
+opportunities, went to his study in the schoolroom. It is not
+necessary to say that such grit and devotion won for him success. He
+has fitted himself for Christian instruction among his people, and is
+rapidly becoming a leader. This young man, however, is not an
+individual but a type of hundreds of such Highland lads and lassies
+who are struggling with great self-sacrifice for an education in our
+American Missionary Association schools.
+
+
+[Sidenote: Prepared for Life Work.]
+
+The graduating class from Williamsburg Academy, Kentucky, numbers
+three. They are all from the State of Kentucky, but from different
+counties. The mountain people only are represented. One contemplates
+the study of medicine next fall. One expects to teach. The other, a
+young lady, will probably remain at home for a time. All are
+Christians and in active Christian work.
+
+
+[Sidenote: Grand View Institute, Tennessee.]
+
+This school, among the Highlanders, has closed a most successful
+year. The following item comes from the principal: "The young men
+have held a mid-week prayer meeting twice each week during the
+month. These meetings were well attended, and much interest was
+manifested. At our last mid-week service, before the closing of the
+school, our little church was well filled, and a large number took
+part in the service. The topic for the evening was 'Some of the
+benefits I have received during the school year in Grand View.' The
+meeting was exceptionally impressive. Many of these students have,
+during the year, taken Christ into their hearts and lives, and this,
+after all, we feel is the 'one thing needful.'"
+
+
+[Sidenote: Manual of Savannah Congregational District.]
+
+Through the courtesy of the Moderator, the manual of this conference
+has been presented to the editor of the MISSIONARY. It contains the
+constitution and by-laws, and a brief historical sketch of this group
+of churches in Georgia. It is an interesting document. Among other
+things, it illustrates the desire of these churches to have an
+educated and upright ministry. Article XII of their constitution
+reads, in part, as follows: "Congregationalists have always believed
+in a Godly and educated ministry. To meet the wants of local
+conditions, a three years' course of study shall be provided for in
+the by-laws, for all who are not graduates of normal, college
+preparatory or college classes.... The by-laws shall provide a four
+years' course of conference study, leading up to the printed
+certificate. Any person holding a printed certificate shall be
+addressed as Reverend, preach without annual examination, on
+condition of good behavior, and may be ordained if called by a church
+to be its pastor.... Ordained preachers coming to us from bodies
+having a lower standard shall pursue our four years' course of study
+and pass annual examinations, if they are under fifty years of age."
+
+This is certainly an earnest and systematic effort on the part of our
+brethren of these churches to establish higher educational and
+ethical standards on the part of the ministers in that state. The
+benefit will accrue not only to our Congregational Churches, but to
+all others in the state.

+
+INDIAN PROGRESS.
+
+BY REV. C. L. HALL.
+
+
+[Sidenote: Old and New.]
+
+On May 26th there was a high wind over the prairie. It hindered the
+carpenter who was trying to frame the bell-tower of the new chapel.
+The chapel stands aloft in the center of the Ree Indian settlement.
+It is a shining mark, seen in the June sunlight, for miles up and
+down the Missouri bench lands. The prairie around it is dotted with
+Indian homes. The winds could not stop the building nor overturn it.
+Other work the wind did finish. That was the overthrow of the old
+heathen place of worship which stood a little more than a mile away
+from the new Christian chapel. Neglected for several years, it had
+been gradually disintegrating till the wind threw down the remains of
+the ruin.
+
+The Ree Christian Indians are now looking with satisfaction at the
+chapel which their own work has helped to build. It is the center of
+a new religious and social order. It illustrates, also, the
+co-operative work of the Women's Home Missionary Association,
+Church-Building Society and the American Missionary Association. All
+of these had a helping hand in the building.
+
+It takes all that all can do together to provide new and better
+things for the Indian as their hold of and faith in the old pass
+away.
+
+
+[Sidenote: Citizen Indians.]
+
+The Fort Berthold Indians have recently become voters. The
+coming fall elections are important; consequently the caucuses held
+this spring were of some moment. In the county convention eleven
+delegates out of twenty-six were Indians. They might have a deciding
+vote of considerable consequence.
+
+There was an effort to control the ignorant part of the community for
+private interests. The better educated young men, however, were alive
+to their duty and opportunity, and many of the older ones were
+sensible enough to put forward the younger and better informed to
+represent them. The consequence was that when the delegates arrived
+at the county seat they were found to be an intelligent and
+well-dressed company, who could understand what was going on. Two of
+them went from the county to the Fargo state convention to nominate
+delegates to the national presidential convention. One went to the
+judicial convention, and two are to go to the coming state convention
+at Grand Forks to nominate state officers. Three of these delegates
+were from our Santee school, and one from Hampton.
+
+The testimony of political leaders is that the Indian delegates made
+a good impression, and were not led into the self-indulgences that
+disgraced some whites.
+
+Several years ago one of the older boys found it rather tiresome to
+study "civil government" in the mission school. Now he says to his
+teacher, "Civil government is all right." It always will be in the
+hand of intelligent people who want to do right--all colors
+included.

+
+"LIGHT AND SHADE."
+
+MRS. IDA V. WOODBURY.
+
+
+The title of this rambling sketch of Southern travel does not refer,
+as might be understood, to the wonderful picturesqueness of the
+Southern mountains and valleys, their ever-varying beauty of sunshine
+and shadow, nor to the spiritual, moral or intellectual condition of
+the people; but is a salutation, embodying in its brevity an
+invitation to the stranger to dismount from his horse, or step down
+from his carriage, and rest himself beneath the shade of the trees.
+"Light, stranger, light and shade," is the laconic, epigrammatic but
+cordial and hospitable greeting.
+
+In response to such a salutation, I "lit" from the buggy one
+afternoon a few weeks ago in front of a one-roomed, windowless log
+hut in the Kentucky mountains, where lived a man, his wife and eight
+children. I was urged to "set by," so I went inside the house. The
+mother was lying on a bed in the corner, and I said to her, "Are you
+sick?" (You must never ask a mountaineer if he is ill, that is
+equivalent to asking him if he is cross.) "Yes," she said, "I'm
+powerful puny." "Have you been sick long?" was my next question.
+"I've been punying around all winter." "Has it been cold here?" "Yes,
+mighty cold." "Have you had any snow?" "Yes, we've had a right smart
+of snow twicet, and oncet it was pretty nigh shoe-mouth deep."
+
+These people rarely admit that they are well. The most you can expect
+is, "I'm tolerable, only jest tolerable," while often they say, "I'm
+powerful puny, or nigh about plum sick." And then with an air of
+extreme resignation, for they seem to enjoy poor health, they add,
+"We're all powerful puny humans."
+
+We had supper on the night of which I write in one of these little
+cabins--the young missionary of the American Missionary Association
+and myself. The conditions were very primitive, the fare coarse, but
+the welcome hearty, the hospitality bountiful. Then we had a
+prayer-meeting in the "church house," and between fifty and sixty
+people were present. The men dressed in homespun and blue jeans, the
+women all with full-bordered cape bonnets and home-knit woolen mitts.
+It is a great lack of "form" to go with the hands uncovered, but the
+feet are often so; and I will venture to say that the missionary and
+myself were the only persons in the "church house" whose mouths were
+not filled with tobacco, a custom very much in evidence all through
+the meeting.
+
+I talked to them of our work among the Indians, and after the meeting
+one man came to me and shook my hand right royally, as he said,
+"I've never seen you before, mum, and I reckon I never shall see you
+again; but we've been mightily holped up by what you've been saying,
+and I reckon we ought to be doing something for them poor humans." In
+his poverty, in his need, his heart went out to those who seemed to
+him to be in greater destitution.
+
+As we went to our buggy at the close of the meeting, the people
+gathered around to say goodbye, and many were the kindly words and
+the God-speeds. Many, too, were the evidences of hospitality, and one
+insisted that we should go home with him and spend the night. He
+said: "It's a mighty long ride to the school, and you'll be a mighty
+sight more comfortable to come back and sleep with us." We had called
+at his house in the afternoon. There were twelve people--father,
+mother and ten children--in a windowless, one-roomed cabin, in which
+were three beds ranged side by side. Just what sleeping
+accommodations they were going to give us I do not know.
+
+Where were we? Who are these people? Right in the heart of the
+Midland Mountains, among our native-born American Highlanders, people
+who have had as great a part in forming American history as any like
+number of men in our country to-day, people who gave to this nation
+Abraham Lincoln, who also produced Jesse James--they are capable of
+either--who for a hundred and fifty years have been sitting in the
+shade of ignorance, poverty and superstition, but are now coming into
+the light of the school and the church as provided for them by the
+American Missionary Association.
+
+And now for a moment we will run down into the rice swamps of
+Georgia. Come into the house of old Aunt Peggy. A bed and two boxes
+form all the furniture of the room. The house is a borrowed one. Aunt
+Peggy is having a new one built. It will cost five dollars, and when
+we ask her how she is going to pay for it she tells us she has a
+quarter saved toward it, and she has promised the man who is building
+it her blankets, her only bedding beside an old comforter. But the
+weather is growing warm, she says, and "mebbe before it done turn
+cold I'll be in the hebbenly mansions." One of the saddest relics of
+the old slavery days is these childless, friendless, companionless
+old people, childless because slavery separated them from their
+children; husbands and wives were parted, and all family life
+rendered impossible. Two old people in the region of McIntosh, Ga.,
+have recently died, each alone in a little cabin, and the tragedy was
+not discovered until the buzzards were seen circling around the
+place.
+
+Aunt Peggy's sole comfort and dependence is a little boy eleven or
+twelve years old, whom she picked up by the roadside where he, a tiny
+baby, had been left by a heartless mother. Although then at least
+eighty years old, she strapped him on her back as she went to her
+"tasses" (tasks) in the field. She named him Calvary Baker, and now
+he has become her dependence and support, although the light in her
+shadowed cabin comes from the ministrations of the teachers in
+Dorchester Academy; and as she put her old, gaunt, claw-like black
+fingers on the face of the delicate, refined academy teacher, Aunt
+Peggy said: "Oh, you're my Jesus mudder;" and then, turning to me,
+she said, while a smile lit up the old black face, "Oh, missus, I
+bress de Lord for the Jesus school, for if it had not been for these
+Jesus mudders, I reckon hunger would have carried me off."
+
+It is a wonderful work at McIntosh, as is true of all our schools.
+There are great lessons to be learned there. The student of the negro
+problem would do well to visit this section of the country with its
+historic interest, to note the influence of the old Midway Church,
+whose members were obliged to allow their slaves to attend church, so
+that at one time the black membership of this church was double the
+white; and to learn from a careful statistician that there is a less
+per cent. of crime and immorality, and a greater per cent. of
+full-blooded negroes here, under the influence of this old religious
+_regim�_, than can be found in any like number of our colored
+population throughout the Black Belt, save where the Christian school
+has changed the life during this last generation.
+
+We are solving the negro problem in the only way possible, in the
+opinion of all statesmen, all publicists and all philanthropists, by
+the farm and the shop, and the school and the church, and over them
+all the Stars and Stripes. But we are doing more than this; we are
+setting the solitary in families; the wilderness and the solitary
+places are being made glad, and the desert is rejoicing and
+blossoming as the rose.

+
+COMMENCEMENT AT FISK UNIVERSITY, TENN.
+
+
+Fisk graduated classes of usual size. It deeply lamented the absence
+of President Cravath, who was ill in the East, and the late death of
+Prof. Spence. The Dean, J. G. Merrill, was deputed to preside at the
+varied functions of commencement week. The weather was unusually
+temperate, audiences very large.
+
+The largest college preparatory class in the history of the
+university was graduated. It catalogued thirty-nine. Ten States were
+represented on its list, and a larger number of young women than have
+ever entered Fisk before were made Freshmen.
+
+[Illustration: SENIOR CLASS, FISK UNIVERSITY.]
+
+Commencement week included a missionary sermon, which was delivered
+by Prof. Brown, of Vanderbilt University, upon "Paul the
+Missionary;" baccalaureate, by the Dean, whose theme was "Moses, the
+Leader of his People." To these were added three "graduating
+exercises." In the program were over thirty speakers--young men and
+women, not one of whom had a syllable of prompting. A graduate of
+Princeton University, spending the day in Nashville, after hearing
+the four "Commencement" orations, said that each one of them was
+superior in thought and delivery to the one that carried off the
+prize at Princeton less than ten days before. These young men and
+their classmates are to make their careers--three as physicians, two
+as pharmacists, two as teachers, one as a business man, the other as
+a lawyer. The young woman graduate received two diplomas, the second
+being in music, her industry and ability being evidenced in the fact
+that her long hours with the piano did not prevent her receiving high
+honors in the classroom. One of the men had walked fourteen miles
+each day, summer and winter, besides doing the "chores" morning and
+night; another has had a chair in a barber shop every evening; others
+have taught schools in vacation, been Pullman porters and waiters at
+summer resorts. One, whose two grandfathers were Frenchmen, born in
+France, before coming to college loaded the rifle and stood by his
+father, who shot down three men who came to his home to mob him. He
+himself, a very Hercules by name and in appearance, champion on the
+college gridiron, pleaded on the commencement stage most persuasively
+for "Universal Peace."
+
+Our commencement orator was Rev. H. E. Cobb, one of the pastors in
+the Reformed Collegiate Church of New York City. His address upon the
+"Open Door" disclosed to the young graduates their possibilities of
+success and failure, and captivated old and young.
+
+Fisk enters upon a new year with high hopes. Her Jubilee Singers,
+whose music added greatly to the enjoyment of the week, return North
+in the late summer to keep alive the enthusiasm awakened by their
+last season's successes, while the Faculty know the hour grows nearer
+and nearer when the endowment which God has in store for Fisk is to
+materialize, and they will know who are God's chosen servants to do
+for the Negro what has been so gloriously done for the white young
+people of America--furnishing them a chance to secure an education at
+an institution throughly equipped to provide the leaders of a tenth
+of our population, men and women sound in mind and soul.
+
+The Alumni had an enthusiastic meeting. They were addressed by Miss
+Nancy Jones, '86, who has served the A. B. C. F. M. in Africa, and by
+Dr. A. A. Wesley, '94, who spoke on "How to Overcome Prejudices,"
+who, as surgeon in an Illinois regiment in the Spanish War, won such
+distinction as to have been appointed to read a paper before the
+National Army Surgeons' Association in New York City the week before
+commencement.

+
+COMMENCEMENT AT TALLADEGA COLLEGE, ALABAMA.
+
+
+Coming away one afternoon from one of the exercises of commencement
+week at Talladega College, a prominent white citizen said in comment
+on a speech he had just heard: "There is a good deal of foolish talk
+about how much the Spanish-American war has done in bringing the
+North and South together; but the fact is, that schools like this, in
+which the Negro is taught to be law-abiding and to live a moral life,
+administered as this one is with such good sense and wisdom, are
+doing far more than any sentimental influences of the war to bring
+races and sections to mutual good understanding." On Sunday, at the
+big Chautauqua building, during the baccalaureate sermon, two white
+citizens were standing at the door watching the quiet, orderly
+audience of perhaps fifteen hundred colored people. One of them has
+not been distinguished for earnestness of desire to see the Negro
+educated. Said the other, "It looks like the niggers are coming up in
+spite of h--," to which the response, though possibly reluctant, was
+clearly affirmative.
+
+Those who have been toiling all the year long, unable to appreciate
+the work in its perspective, discouraged sometimes because results
+hoped for do not immediately appear, are cheered by such testimony to
+the efficiency and value of the work, even if it is not always given
+in elegant and reverent form. And there was other testimony of the
+same kind from all sorts and conditions of visitors. Expressions of
+pleasure and approval came constantly from alumni, from teachers in
+other schools, from citizens both white and black.
+
+Not as large a graduating class was sent out as usual, there being
+only nine in all--three young men from the college department, and
+six from the normal school, all young women but one. The parents of
+none of these students have graduated from Talladega. All of them
+were slaves, though most were so young at the time of emancipation as
+not to remember much of slavery days. The father of one of the
+college men, however, was, it is said, made by his master to run
+regularly before the bloodhounds to keep them in training. Sometimes
+it was hard running, and sometimes he had to take refuge in a tree to
+escape harm when the dogs had caught up with him. This young man, who
+carried off the A.B. degree, is planning to go to Yale for further
+study, and after a year or two to enter a Northern law-school.
+
+Another of the same department is in some ways an accomplished
+fellow. He has read widely and remembers what he has read; he plays
+the violin; he is an excellent pianist, and he is a member of the
+college male quartet, which is to spend the summer in the North,
+endeavoring to raise money for new buildings greatly needed at
+Talladega. After this summer campaign he also hopes to begin the
+study of law at Columbia or Harvard. The third young man of the
+college class expects to take for a year a principalship in the
+public schools of a neighboring city, and then enter upon the study
+of medicine.
+
+The young man who finished the normal course, being a good carpenter,
+has been for three years head of the college repair shop. For this
+summer he will return to a country school where he has taught for
+five consecutive summers, and in the fall hopes to enter a
+trade-school to perfect himself in carpentry and to learn what he can
+of architecture and building, purposing to devote himself to that
+line of work.
+
+It is a matter of congratulation to the school that so many
+students, after finishing some course here, are ambitious to pursue
+their studies further in the best institutions of the country.
+
+The young women who were graduated from the normal course are all to
+enter upon the work for which they have been trained, one or two
+already having positions in view in city schools, while the others
+will take up work in the country districts. It is not a large class,
+as has been said, but it is a good, earnest, ambitious class, in
+which there is large promise of solid usefulness.

+
+COMMENCEMENT AT STRAIGHT UNIVERSITY, LA.
+
+
+The exercises of commencement week began on the morning of Sunday,
+May 20th, with an interesting address to the Christian associations
+by Rev. A. S. Jackson, D.D., of Dallas, Texas.
+
+On the evening of the same day President Oscar Atwood delivered the
+Baccalaureate Address. The close attention which this address
+commanded showed how well chosen was its theme and interesting the
+presentation of its ideas.
+
+On Monday the Industrial and Grade work was exhibited. Specimens of
+practical work in wood done by the young men and boys in the shop,
+articles both useful and beautiful from the sewing-room, together
+with fine drawings and written exercises done by members of the
+different grades, made up this exhibit.
+
+The value of this branch of the university's work cannot be
+overestimated. The training given is of the most practical kind.
+Young men have been enabled, through the industrial education
+received at the university, to work at the carpenter's trade during
+their summer vacation, and thus earn the means necessary to take them
+through the following year of study. At the present time one
+enterprising young graduate, as a result of this very training, is
+putting up with his own hands the building which is to shelter the
+school he is founding in Southern Louisiana.
+
+In the sewing-room the young women and girls, besides acquiring a
+knowledge of mending and darning, learn to cut, fit and make all
+kinds of garments. Fancy work is taught them after they have learned
+the more useful kinds of sewing.
+
+Monday afternoon the Rev. Chas. R. Dinkins addressed the literary
+societies of the university, and on Monday evening one of the most
+interesting programs of the whole commencement season was
+presented--namely, the class-day program.
+
+It was in these exercises that the love of the graduating classes for
+their Alma Mater, and their appreciation of her faithful and
+efficient instruction found fullest expression. We have known of
+schools where class-day was made an occasion for ridiculing the
+Faculty, students and instruction of the institution. Not so at
+Straight; class-day there is one of the occasions when the delightful
+relations that have existed between teachers and students, and among
+the student body, are revealed.
+
+[Illustration: COLLEGE DEPARTMENT GRADUATING CLASS WITH PRESIDENT,
+STRAIGHT UNIVERSITY.]
+
+A short address by the President is followed by the class oration,
+well composed and ably delivered. Then we listen to an entertaining
+paper which gives us the history of the class. We review with the
+young historian its hardships and its triumphs, and conclude that,
+like all other classes whose history we have heard, it has had a
+remarkable career. The prophecy is a spicy bit of humor, and reflects
+much credit upon its writer, a dainty little miss, as bright and
+interesting a prophet as we shall meet in many a long day. A young
+man now steps forward upon the platform, of whose purpose in so doing
+we are not quite sure. The president of the class soon clears up our
+doubts, however, by requesting President Atwood to come forward. It
+is evident that this is a surprise to the head of the university. The
+young man makes a short speech of presentation and hands to the
+president a gift from the graduating classes. The singing of the
+class ode closes this part of the evening's exercises, and the
+college class now presents an excellent program consisting of an
+oration by the president, a history and a well-written poem.
+
+One cannot help remarking upon the dignity and good taste which
+characterized the exercises of Class-Day. We doubt whether any class
+in a Northern school could have made a better showing.
+
+[Illustration: COLLEGE PREPARATORY AND NORMAL GRADUATING CLASS,
+STRAIGHT UNIVERSITY.]
+
+On Tuesday afternoon the graduating exercises of the grammar
+department were held. On Wednesday evening, when the graduating
+classes received their diplomas, the other students received
+certificates of the work they had done.
+
+The alumni of Straight held their annual business meeting on Tuesday
+evening.
+
+The commencement exercises on Wednesday evening formed a fitting
+climax for a week so full of interest and inspiration. These
+exercises are held at Central Church because it can accommodate a
+much larger audience than the university chapel, and in the evening,
+because this hour permits many to be present who, on account of their
+work, could not attend commencement during the day.
+
+Long before the hour appointed for beginning the exercises, all the
+seats were filled and all the standing room in the church utilized,
+and the air was alive with whispers, low tones and the flutter of
+fans as the audience waited, with the best patience it could muster,
+for the opening numbers of the program. When President Atwood rose
+and announced the first number, all sounds ceased, and the great
+audience gave close attention to that and all the twenty-one
+succeeding numbers on the program.
+
+The program was one of which the university may be justly proud. The
+orations of the graduates from the college course on "The Mission of
+the Scholar," "Aims and Ideals," and "Does the Constitution Follow
+the Flag?" would have been considered exceptional in any of our
+Northern colleges, for their thought, expression and delivery. The
+three graduates from the theological department did credit to their
+teacher, Rev. G. W. Henderson, D.D., in their contribution to the
+program, and the sixteen students who were graduated from the normal
+and college preparatory courses likewise acquitted themselves with
+credit. The music of the program was furnished by the students, and
+consisted of piano solos and duets and choruses. The performers
+deserve much commendation. The presentation of diplomas formed an
+impressive close to the evening's program.
+
+To have seen these students is to believe in the work which the
+American Missionary Association is doing in the South, and to become
+a promoter of that work; it is to have faith in the ability of the
+negro to become a useful citizen; it is to catch a glimpse of the
+true solution of the negro problem, and to see that the satisfactory
+solution of that great question is being worked out, not by our
+legislators, but by devoted Christian men and women, like President
+Atwood and his corps of teachers, who are giving the best years of
+their lives to the service of the Master in the Southland.
+
+The graduating class is the largest in the history of the university,
+thirteen young men and twelve young women. Ten of these reside in New
+Orleans, and twelve are from different parts of Louisiana, North
+Carolina and Texas. Seven completed the college preparatory course,
+nine the normal, three the course in arts and three the theological.

+
+COMMENCEMENT AT TOUGALOO UNIVERSITY, MISS.
+
+
+Commencement at Tougaloo University this year was characterized by an
+unusual quietness and the absence of the great crowds which usually
+attend. For many weeks smallpox had been prevalent in the regions
+about, so much so, that it was necessary to practically quarantine
+the school against incomers. Since February, nearly all pupils had
+been refused in the boarding department, and from the middle of March
+the day pupils had been excluded almost wholly. It is worthy of
+note, however, that notwithstanding this, the enrollment of the year
+surpassed, by one hundred and more, that of the year previous. It did
+not seem wise to issue any general invitation to the Commencement
+Exercises, and so the public stayed away. A few invited guests came
+from Jackson, among them Governor Longino, Secretary of State Power,
+ex-Congressman Hooker, and some of the pastors of the city. These
+gentlemen made brief addresses, heartily commending the school's work
+and that for which it stands. The annual address on "Wealth," by Dr.
+Cornelius H. Patton, of St. Louis, made a very deep impression.
+
+Four students were graduated from the academy and normal course. Two
+of them, and possibly more, will take college work. Next year
+Tougaloo will, for the first time, have a full college course.
+Excellent work has been done in that department during the past year.
+It is interesting to note that one of the graduates represents the
+second generation at Tougaloo, her mother having been a student in
+the early days of the school. There are many such second generation
+students in the lower grades, and they distinctly show the effects of
+the influences to which their parents were subjected. All the
+graduates were country-bred.
+
+Those visitors to the school who had been familiar with it in the
+past years were specially interested in the outward changes visible.
+The new Beard Hall, commodious and pleasant, well furnished and
+convenient, and the new Refectory, with its dining-room capable of
+seating three hundred students; the Emergency Building, now
+transformed into a spacious building for the manual training in wood
+and industrial drawing; the new building for iron and steel forging
+and masonry; the old shop metamorphosed into a most satisfactory
+laundry, all were commented on as great additions to the material
+side of Tougaloo's life. In passing from building to building,
+attention was paid to the industrial features of the work. The
+exhibits of iron and steel tools made by the students, among them a
+machine for cutting iron, of great strength and excellent
+workmanship; of chairs, desks, tables, tabourets, etc.; of needlework
+from the beginning steps to completed garments; of cookery and of
+millinery, were deemed very satisfactory. Much of the work cannot be
+surpassed anywhere. Leading Mississippians are proud of Tougaloo and
+its work, and esteem it the best school of its class.
+
+Mention was more than once made of the fact that the new president of
+Alcorn College, the state institution for colored young men, which is
+now doing better work than for some years, and his accomplished wife,
+are graduates of Tougaloo. The teacher of iron and steel work there
+had his training in the Tougaloo shops.

+
+COMMENCEMENT AT GRANDVIEW INSTITUTE, TENN.
+
+
+The exercises of the Fifteenth Annual Commencement of the Grandview
+Normal Institute opened with the baccalaureate sermon by the
+principal, Sunday, April 29th, in the chapel.
+
+Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were occupied with examinations in all
+the grades and departments, which afforded abundant evidence of a
+year of faithful and fruitful work.
+
+On Thursday evening, May 3d, the public commencement was held in the
+assembly room of the school building, and was attended by a very
+large audience. The graduates were only three in number, two young
+women and one young man.
+
+Two of the graduates were genuine American Highlanders, and were
+residents of Grandview, the third came from Sequatchie Valley.
+
+The orations and essays were without exception creditable
+performances.
+
+One pleasing feature of the evening was the presentation by Rev. W.
+E. Rogers, County Superintendent, of State diplomas to twenty
+juniors.
+
+The perfect order which prevailed throughout the exercises was in
+striking contrast to former days when pistols and "moonshine" whiskey
+were most fearfully in evidence.
+
+Of the graduates, one of the young women will teach school the coming
+year, the young man will seek work somewhere for a year and hopes
+then to enter the State University at Knoxville and so fit himself
+for some useful calling in life. These graduates are earnest young
+Christians who will go out from their alma mater to reflect credit on
+the School and to do honor to those who have generously given of
+their means that the children of the people stranded on these
+mountains may "see a great light." The year just closed was the most
+prosperous one in the history of Grandview school. The enrollment was
+the largest the school had ever known and was considerably above two
+hundred.
+
+Next year, if the juniors all return, as is expected, the graduating
+class will number about twenty.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+COMMENCEMENT AT PLEASANT HILL ACADEMY, TENN.
+
+
+The graduating class of Pleasant Hill Academy numbered six--three
+girls and three boys--most of the number coming from the Highland Rim
+instead of from the mountains proper. There were four others in the
+class, one from Alabama, but ill-health and other causes reduced the
+number to six.
+
+Two or three will continue their work at the University of Tennessee,
+one at the University of Missouri, one at Peabody Normal, Nashville.
+All expect to teach, and one expects eventually to become a trained
+nurse and missionary.
+
+We have been interested in tracing their ancestry, which follows: one
+English, one Scotch-Irish, one Irish, one Scotch-Irish and Dutch, one
+English-Irish, one Scotch-Irish and French. In the class are
+Cumberland Presbyterian, Methodist South, Free Baptist, one Mormon
+and one of Unitarian preferences.
+
+One of the women is the wife of a blind preacher who is doing a good
+work in this region.
+
+Notwithstanding denominational preferences there has been unity of
+feeling and co-operation in Christian work. We feel from expression
+given that these young people will use their education for the
+betterment of those who look to them for leadership.

+FORT BERTHOLD INDIAN SCHOOL, N. D.
+
+
+[Illustration: CHILDREN'S COTTAGE AND CHAPEL, FT. BERTHOLD, N. D.]
+
+This school, as a whole, consists of a mixture of the three Indian
+tribes, the Mandan, Ree and Gros Ventre. The pupils come from homes
+scattered along either side of the Missouri River from Elbowoods to
+Berthold, a stretch of some twenty miles.
+
+[Illustration: GROUP OF PUPILS, FT. BERTHOLD, N. D.]
+
+When one becomes acquainted with the children after they have been at
+the school a year or two and considers the homes from which some of
+them come, he is almost inclined to wonder at the transforming power
+of Christian education. Most of these Indians have graduated from the
+old-time tepee. Their houses to-day are of logs plastered with mud.
+Sometimes they consist of one room, but frequently have two or three
+rooms. A three-roomed cottage usually consists of a central room with
+one outside door, and a room at each end connecting with the central
+room, but having no outside door. The roof is made of rafters, upon
+which poles are laid crosswise, and the whole covered several inches
+with earth. The floor is sometimes of lumber, but more generally of
+bare earth, which in very wet weather is apt to be turned into mud by
+the rain that drips through the ground-covered roof. In the larger
+houses two or three families often live, sometimes with two or three
+grandmothers or grandfathers, or both.
+
+The food being issued by the Government to them, each one has the
+same quantity and quality. They generally all eat together, the
+older ones sitting upon the floor, while the younger and more
+civilized eat from a table. Their dishes frequently correspond in
+quantity and quality with their advancement in civilization.
+
+In the work of the school the principal writes: "As far as possible I
+intend to have the pupils 'know, and know that they know,' what they
+have gone over. I find that many of them seem to appreciate this
+careful and accurate knowledge. They may not make as good a showing
+in a report, but the purpose of the school is to work for the
+children and not for public recognition."

+
+A TRIBUTE TO REV. A. J. F. BEHRENDS, D.D.
+
+SECRETARY C. C. CREEGAN.
+
+
+I first became acquainted with Dr. Behrends when he was in Cleveland,
+and had a profound respect for him as a man, as well as one of the
+ablest preachers of our time. When I came to Brooklyn several years
+ago I was led to unite with his church. I can therefore speak from a
+personal knowledge of twenty-five years.
+
+In the death of Dr. Behrends, who had served both as vice-president
+and member of the Executive Committee of the American Missionary
+Association, the Society, as well as the denomination of which he was
+one of the most conspicuous members, has suffered a great loss.
+Central Church, Brooklyn, where he ministered with distinguished
+success for seventeen years and where he was beloved by all, will
+feel the loss of this great and good man most keenly, but all the
+churches of his home city, where his voice was often heard and where
+his influence was so great, will mourn the departure of one of the
+greatest preachers of this generation.
+
+Born in Holland, in the home of an humble Lutheran preacher, he came
+to this country with his parents when five years of age. While
+teaching school in his seventeenth year, near Portsmouth, Ohio, he
+was converted by the preaching of an obscure Methodist minister and
+at once decided to fit himself for the work of the ministry. Largely
+by his own efforts he worked his way through Dennison University,
+Ohio, graduating in 1862 in a class of three, all of whom became
+prominent clergymen. Three years later he completed his theological
+studies at Rochester Theological Seminary at the head of his class
+and was called at once to the pastorate of a large Baptist Church in
+Yonkers, N. Y., where he remained eight years. He was then called to
+the First Baptist Church of Cleveland, Ohio, where he won great
+distinction as a platform orator.
+
+It was during this pastorate, which lasted only three years, that Dr.
+Behrends, after a great struggle, decided to resign from this strong
+church, where he was very popular, and enter another denomination.
+Six happy years were then spent in the Union Church of Providence,
+where he was recognized as one of the foremost preachers in the State
+and nation.
+
+Dr. Behrends was a great scholar. It is the belief of those who knew
+him well that he was able to fill any chair in any of our theological
+seminaries. His services were in frequent demand for courses of
+lectures in our leading colleges and seminaries, and at least two of
+these courses have been put into book form.
+
+While his services were often sought for on great occasions, such as
+the annual meetings of the A. M. A. and A. B. C. F. M., and similar
+gatherings, his best work was done in his own pulpit. His sermons
+were always prepared with the greatest care, and, except on rare
+occasions, were delivered without a note and with wonderful beauty of
+diction and irresistible logic to the audiences of two thousand
+cultured people who hung on his words every Sabbath and who regarded
+him, not without good reason, "the greatest preacher in America."
+
+The secret of the great success of Dr. Behrends as a preacher was not
+to be found in his striking personality, nor in his musical voice,
+nor his profound scholarship, but rather in his strong faith in the
+Bible as the Word of God, as his only creed, and that Christ Jesus,
+the divine Saviour, is to win the whole world to Himself. From this
+belief he never wavered, and to him the preaching of the gospel to
+men and seeing them come into the kingdom was the joy of his soul.

+
+CHARLES A. HULL, CHAIRMAN.
+
+
+I shall not attempt to repeat what has been so fully said by the
+religious and secular journals of the country in reference to the
+life and work of this great and good man, but I desire to say a few
+words in regard to his connection with the anti-slavery movement, and
+his interest in the work of the American Missionary Association. He
+was an original Abolitionist, and one of the most pronounced even in
+the early years of the agitation in his opposition to the wickedness
+of slavery, and in later years the cause of the elevation of the
+freedman had no stronger nor better friend than he.
+
+In an article written for the Fiftieth Anniversary Number of _The
+Independent_, of which he was one of the original editors, speaking
+of the conditions at the time _The Independent_ was founded, and the
+attitude of some of the societies toward slavery, Dr. Storrs added:
+"And repeated efforts to induce the American Board of Foreign
+Missions to take decisive anti-slavery ground, while carrying on its
+work among Cherokees and Choctaws and other slaveholding peoples,
+wholly failed of success--out of which failure came, however, the
+American Missionary Association, since so justly honored, and so
+widely and nobly useful."
+
+By spoken and by written word he contributed much to the cause of
+Christian education in the South and among the so-called dependent
+races.
+
+About ten years ago he preached a special sermon upon "Our Nation's
+Work for the Colored People," in which, speaking of the work of the
+Association, he said: "Now I affirm absolutely that if there ever was
+a work of God on earth, this is His work! If there was ever anything
+to which the American Christian people were called, they are called
+to this. If there was ever a great opportunity before the Christian
+Church, here it is; not to reach those people merely for their own
+immediate welfare; not to save our own national life merely; but to
+Christianize that immense continent which lies opposite to us on the
+map, which we have wronged so long with the slave-trade and with rum,
+and to which now we can, if we will, send multitudes of messengers to
+testify of the glory of the grace of God."
+
+I wish in closing to say a few words of Dr. Storrs as a friend.
+Through many years he was not only my pastor but the most honored and
+beloved friend of my life. His sense of humor was keen, and his
+playfulness of manner constituted not the least of his charms to
+those who knew him intimately. He never seemed to take a narrow view
+of any subject, but was always lenient to and tolerant of those whose
+opinions differed from his own, and yet strong and vigorous in his
+own convictions. His loss to those closely associated with him in
+personal and Church relations is one which can never be filled. He
+was extremely modest in his estimate of himself and his efforts, and
+simple-minded to a wonderful degree for a man of such supreme power
+and influence. He never shirked what appeared to him a duty, and one
+of the pleasantest recollections of my life is of a journey made by
+him, at considerable personal inconvenience, only about a year ago,
+to visit a former parishioner who had not seen him for years, and who
+in his old age and feebleness desired to talk with him. His visit
+brought sunshine and mental and spiritual comfort, and will ever be
+gratefully remembered by those to whom he ministered.
+
+In grandeur of thought, in nobility of utterance, and in his
+wonderful personality, he was unique, and his death has left in the
+American pulpit a void which we cannot expect to see filled.

+PROFESSOR A. K. SPENCE.
+
+
+Rev. Adam K. Spence, for twenty-five years a professor in Fisk
+University, died in Nashville, Tenn., April 24, 1900. He was born in
+Aberdeenshire, Scotland, in 1831. His parents removed to this country
+in his early childhood. He studied in Oberlin and Ann Arbor,
+graduating at the last named institution, where he taught for a time
+after graduation.
+
+In 1870 he was appointed by the American Missionary Association as
+the principal of the school which afterward became Fisk University.
+Since then scores of young people have gone forth each year from this
+institution bearing the signate of Christian culture, and their
+widespread influence is telling upon the South. Prof. Spence laid the
+foundations of the Greek department in this university.
+
+His love for music and appreciation of its finest effects amounted
+almost to a passion. He helped give the university a high standard of
+music, which has rendered it unique in Southern schools. Especially
+was he an advocate of jubilee music, and did much to gather these
+songs of quaint power and value into the archives of the university.
+His great interest was in the spiritual development of the students.
+Many revivals, resulting in the conversion of large numbers, were
+greatly promoted by his prayer and earnest efforts. Prof. Spence was
+always present at the prayer meeting when it was possible for him to
+attend, and his influence was profoundly felt.
+
+At the funeral, when the people passed to take a last look at the
+familiar face, old men and women who had known him as their friend
+during all these years, students and little children gazed lovingly
+upon him. A large body of students went directly from Jubilee Hall to
+Mount Olivet, where his body was laid to rest.

+REV. W. S. ALEXANDER, D.D.
+
+
+The death of Dr. Alexander removes one who, in other years, occupied
+an important position in the mission service of this Association. Dr.
+Alexander was president of Straight University during a difficult and
+important period. He made his impression upon the institution,
+developing the work internally both intensively and extensively. He
+was an earnest student and encouraged scholarship among the students.
+His large influence was felt among the churches of lower Louisiana.
+He became something of a bishop in the Congregational work in that
+state. His judgment was wise and wholesome and his counsel always
+helpful. His name is held in esteem, almost in reverence, by many of
+the colored people of that region even to this day.
+
+Dr. Alexander was born in East Killingly, Conn., August 29, 1835. He
+was a graduate of Yale College and Andover Theological Seminary. He
+held important pastorates in Connecticut and Wisconsin prior to the
+war. He served under the Christian Commission with the Army of the
+Potomac. He went abroad in 1872 and took charge of twelve free
+churches in Italy. Returning from that country, he accomplished
+fruitful missionary service in the South. In 1886, he became pastor
+of the North Avenue Congregational Church, in Cambridge, Mass., and
+served in this capacity until 1890. Since retiring from active
+pastoral duties he has ministered to churches in various cities, most
+acceptably to the people and with fruitful results.

+
+PORTO RICO NOTES.
+
+CHARLES B. SCOTT, SANTURCE, PORTO RICO.
+
+
+[Sidenote: Educational Notes.]
+
+Of the 950,000 inhabitants of Porto Rico, only about 100,000 can read
+or write; 85 per cent. of the adult population are illiterate. Of the
+200,000 children from five to sixteen years of age, all the schools,
+public and private, can accommodate about thirty thousand. The
+average daily attendance in all the schools of the island during the
+past year has been not more than twenty to twenty-five thousand.
+
+The school population (five to sixteen years of age) of San Juan is
+about 6,000. The total seating capacity of all schools in the
+capital, public and private, is not more than fifteen hundred.
+
+There have been during the past year in the public schools of San
+Juan nine or ten American teachers; forty more American teachers are
+scattered through the public schools of the island. About twenty are
+gentlemen acting as supervisors of districts and superintendents of
+city schools.
+
+
+[Sidenote: Christian Schools.]
+
+The American Missionary Association of the Congregational Churches
+has had during the past school year seven American teachers in Porto
+Rico, divided between Santurce, a suburb of San Juan, and Lares. The
+Presbyterians have had four American missionary teachers at Mayaguez.
+The Baptist Church has two American ladies devoting part of their
+time to teaching. The Christian Church has a school at San Juan, with
+three teachers from the states.
+
+Porto Rico is divided for educational purposes into fifteen
+districts, each with an American supervisor in charge of from thirty
+to forty schools. These gentlemen must ride hundreds of miles,
+largely on native ponies, over poor roads and poorer mountain trails,
+inspecting the schools and helping, directing and often stirring up
+the native teachers.
+
+The schools of the American Missionary Association have enrolled over
+three hundred children. At Lares the pupils have been very regular in
+attendance. In Santurce the attendance has been somewhat irregular.
+In both schools the subjects pursued in American schools in the first
+five grades have been taken up, with much attention to English. The
+fact that very few children knew any English, and that most of the
+teachers knew very little Spanish, made the work trying and slow at
+first. The children proved themselves about as bright as American
+children, quick in their perceptions, with good memories, weak in
+arithmetic, not good thinkers or reasoners.
+
+Rarely do American teachers in the States receive so many little
+tokens of esteem and appreciation. On the other hand, the pupils are
+quick-tempered, with little power of self control; rather easily
+offended, and lack in perseverance and stability. They have little
+idea of attention and little power to study. They are anxious to come
+to school, and will sacrifice much to get clothes and pay tuition. On
+the other hand, they will often stay at home for trivial reasons,
+having no idea of the need of regular attendance. They always come to
+school well dressed and usually clean; they will not come barefooted,
+ragged or dirty. The children of the poorer classes roam the streets,
+before and after school, barefooted and ragged, saving their clothes
+and shoes for school.
+
+The Christian schools, such as those of the American Missionary
+Association, do not exist merely to supplement the public schools.
+From the conditions in Porto Rico the public schools must be entirely
+and utterly non-religious. Not even religious songs or the Lord's
+Prayer are allowed. Any teacher discovered teaching any phase of
+religion forfeits his or her salary for that month.
+
+
+[Sidenote: Bible Study.]
+
+In the Christian schools, while the carefully-selected American
+teachers insure good schools and good teaching of the ordinary
+branches, there is a place for moral education, for simple religious
+exercises and for Bible study.
+
+
+[Sidenote: Rural Education.]
+
+The great problem in Porto Rico will be rural education. Probably
+800,000 of its 950,000 people live in the country or in hamlets. The
+cities are already providing for teachers' training-schools. The
+field of greatest usefulness for the A. M. A. lies in giving the
+young men and women a fair education under Christian influences, and
+sending them out into the country and village schools.
+
+The people of Lares are deeply interested in the school and willing
+to help the work; the location is as healthful as any in the island,
+and Lares, as a great coffee center, promises to thrive and grow.
+
+The education most needed in Porto Rico is practical, industrial
+education. Santurce, near the capital, with a large, poor population
+about the school, dependent on their daily work for their support,
+furnishes an excellent location for an industrial school. The people
+and children do not know how to do anything. The women are
+"lavenderas," or washwomen, the children carry water, the men do odd
+jobs, and all are poorly housed, poorly clothed, poorly fed. The
+children need manual training, and gardening for the boys and sewing
+and cooking for the girls. Next year it is proposed to start these
+lines of work at Santurce. Head and hand and heart can be reached and
+trained for a better and more useful Christian life.

+
+LOSS OF SUPPLIES FOR ALASKA.
+
+
+Our missionaries at Cape Prince of Wales, Mr. and Mrs. Lopp, sent us
+in the spring their request for supplies of provisions and other
+necessities for the coming year. This request was immediately
+fulfilled by purchases in San Francisco, and the supplies were duly
+sent out in the bark "Alaska."
+
+We have received intelligence from Dr. Jackson, at Nome, that the
+bark "Alaska" was driven ashore and wrecked in the surf on Wednesday,
+June 6th. In this letter Dr. Jackson mentions that the wrecked ship
+contained a cabinet organ for the Prince of Wales mission, which was
+ruined, and that the ship also brought up a turkey from San Francisco
+for Mr. Lopp's Thanksgiving dinner.
+
+The next day Dr. Jackson wrote us a brief note, saying: "The bark
+Alaska that went ashore on Wednesday went to pieces in the storm
+yesterday, and the supplies for the station at Cape Prince of Wales
+are a total loss, even to the Thanksgiving turkey, which was
+drowned." He added that he hoped to meet Mr. Lopp sometime next week.
+
+The destruction of these supplies renders it necessary to send others
+at once. The faithful missionaries at this important station must not
+suffer. The friends of our Alaska mission who have so generously
+contributed to its support will not forget this additional financial
+necessity coming in this strange and unexpected calamity.

+STATE AND CITY ORGANIZATION.
+
+BY SECRETARY J. E. ROY.
+
+
+The Association Building (Y. M. C. A.), in Chicago, furnishes offices
+for several of the National Missionary Societies, among them the
+American Missionary Association. In addition to these we have the
+depository and reception-room of the United Society of Christian
+Endeavor, which is also used as the headquarters of the Illinois and
+Chicago Union. Here the state board holds its weekly session. Here is
+kept the supply of Christian Endeavor literature for the varied needs
+of the Christian Endeavor workers, helps for missionary and
+temperance and good citizenship meetings, with an array of programs.
+Among all Endeavorers, as among all missionary society workers, the
+hunger for programs is great indeed. Blessed be the man or woman who
+has the genius for preparing such stimulating outlines of study.
+
+In this city there are two hundred and fifty Christian Endeavor
+Societies. In fifteen societies in the South Division of the city the
+sum of $791.28 has been given to missionary work since January 1st,
+of which $588.43 went to foreign missions, $61.54 to home missions
+and $141.40 to city missions.
+
+[Illustration: HEADQUARTERS Y. P. S. C. E. UNION, CHICAGO, ILL.]
+
+Nine societies of Evanston in the last year have given $688.55 to
+missions--$255 to foreign, $59 to home and $374 to city missions. All
+have given something to the famine sufferers in India. Some of the
+societies visit hospitals and take flowers to the sick; one society
+visits a crippled lady once a week and holds a little prayer-meeting
+with her. The First Congregational Society has given $290 to the
+Chicago Commons.
+
+A member of one Chicago society, a business man who is a great
+Christian Endeavor worker, has a library of over sixty volumes on
+missionary subjects which he is loaning all the time. Our Pilgrim
+Church has a society which publishes its own paper, _The Pilgrim's
+Progress_, that serves all the purposes of the church in its several
+departments.
+
+
+[Sidenote: The Chicago Chinese Endeavor.]
+
+The Chinese school in Dr. Goodwin's church, the First, has its
+Christian Endeavor Society. It is conducted mainly by the Chinese in
+their native language. They sing our gospel songs in Chinese and are
+earnest in the study of the Bible, pursuing the customary order of
+worship and of work. The school was started in 1884, with 32 pupils
+and 20 teachers. The number soon came up to 80. Then, as other
+schools were started, this number was diminished, but from the first
+the work has been a success. In 1897, a Monday night school was
+started and it is flourishing yet. As many as forty from this school
+have publicly professed Christ. Four united with the church in the
+last year. Four have been for several years in missionary work in
+China, one of them, Chan Sui Chung, as assistant of Rev. Dr. C. R.
+Hager, M.D., has charge of a chapel in the village of Hoi Yin, and
+Dr. Hager reports him quite helpful in preparing native evangelists,
+and says that God has greatly blessed his labors. Chan Sui Chung had
+over fifty baptisms in his mission in 1899. They soon catch the
+benevolent spirit of the Gospel. Last year the members of this school
+gave $50 for mission work in California, $60 for aid in building a
+house of worship near their families in China, and one of them, from
+his own earnings, gave $500 for mission work in his own land.
+
+Rev. J. A. Mack, who has been for many years secretary of the Chicago
+Bible Society, and who is the volunteer superintendent of this
+Sunday-school, is just now out in our _Times-Herald_ with an article
+from which I get these statistics. He also says there are some 2,000
+Chinese in this city and for them ten Chinese mission schools--the
+number of pupils depending upon the number of Chicago Christians who
+are ready to teach them.
+
+
+[Sidenote: A Live Endeavor Church.]
+
+[Illustration: SECOND CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH, OAK PARK, ILL.]
+
+It is the Second Congregational Church of Oak Park, Dr. Sydney
+Strong, pastor. Its Christian Endeavor Society, besides paying $25 a
+year for the support of a young lady student in Dakota, and a like
+amount for a young girl student in a colored school at the South, has
+subscribed and is now paying the sum of $500 toward the erection of
+their magnificent meeting-house, which was dedicated only this last
+spring. A class in the Sunday-school of that church also subscribed a
+thousand dollars toward their church edifice and is paying it
+promptly. The capacity of this building was tested during the
+meetings of the General Association of Illinois, and it was found
+capable of seating a thousand people in its auditorium, and of
+feeding six hundred people at the first tables in its dining room on
+occasion of the banquet given by the City Congregational Club to the
+members of the General Association of the state. That club had made
+the American Missionary Association its guest along with the General
+Association, and so brought upon its platform as speakers, Secretary
+C. J. Ryder, D.D., Mrs. I. V. Woodbury, of Boston, Field Missionary
+Rev. G. W. Moore, and Rev. Mary C. Collins of the Dakota Mission. The
+Jubilee Singers discoursed their delicious music through that
+session, as also through those of the state body, and filled our city
+and its surroundings with the sincerest praise of their spiritually
+elevating service in song. The exploiting of the American Missionary
+Association thus by the club was a spontaneous and immensely hearty
+commendation of its mission and its work.

+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free

+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+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-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm 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-tm 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-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm 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-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain 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-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm 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-tm 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-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside 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-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm 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 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
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (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-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm 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-tm 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-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+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-tm 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-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (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-tm
+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-tm 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-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm 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-tm
+     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-tm 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-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm 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
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm 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-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm 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 F3.  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 MERCHANTIBILITY 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-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm 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-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm 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-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm 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-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 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.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  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 principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact
+information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official
+page at https://pglaf.org
+
+For additional contact information:
+     Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+     Chief Executive and Director
+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4.  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.

+<h4>Nine Months, Ending June 30th.</h4>
+
+<p>The receipts are $237,141.25, exclusive of Reserve Legacy Account, an
+increase of $24,922,63 compared with last year. There has been an
+increase of $15,751.36 in donations, $5,800.96 in estates, $852,26 in
+income and $2,518.05 in tuition.</p>
+
+<p>The expenditures are $249,148.75, an increase of $21,699.95 compared
+with last year. The debt showing June 30th, this year, is
+$12,007.50&mdash;last year at the same time $15,230.18.</p>
+
+<p>We appeal to churches, Sunday-schools, Christian Endeavor Societies,
+Woman's Missionary Societies and individuals, and also to executors
+of estates, to secure as large a sum as possible for remittance in
+July, August and September. The fiscal year closes September 30th. We
+hope to receive from all sources every possible dollar. The
+Association closed the year 1897-98 without debt, and the year
+1898-99 without debt, and it earnestly desires to close this year,
+1899-1900 without debt.</p>

+
+<p>The Fifty-fourth Annual Meeting of the American Missionary
+Association is to be held in Springfield, Mass., October 23d-25th.
+The Court Square Theatre has been secured, containing the largest
+auditorium in the city. A great gathering is anticipated. Rev. Newell
+Dwight Hillis, D.D., will preach the sermon. Reports from the large
+and varied fields will be presented by missionaries. The fields now
+reach from Porto Rico to Alaska, and present various and interesting
+conditions of life. The great problems of national and missionary
+importance that are pressing themselves upon the attention of
+Christian patriots everywhere will be ably discussed. Contributing
+churches, local conferences and state associations are entitled to
+send delegates to this convention of the American Missionary
+Association.</p>

+<div class="sidenote"><b>A New Departure Program.</b></div>
+
+<p>Santee Training School presented a unique and interesting program at
+the closing exercises, June 15th, 1900. "A New Departure Program for
+Closing of School" was the title upon the printed page. The program
+was divided into two parts. Part first was confined to history. The
+general subject presented in the papers was "The Development of
+Civilized Ways of Living." One of the Indian pupils read a paper on
+"First Ways of Getting Food and Clothing." Another on "First
+Dwellings." The future as well as the past in race development and
+elevation was considered. "Beginning to Provide for the Future" was
+the subject of another paper. "Clothing" was discussed in relation to
+its production and value.</p>
+
+<p>The second part of this "New Departure Program" presented science in
+a practical and helpful way. The general subject was "Natural Forces
+are for Human Use." Interesting and valuable papers were presented on
+such themes as "Wind Mills," "Non-conduction in Electricity," "Plant
+Breathing," "Food Stored," and other suggestive and important
+subjects. Throughout abundant illustrations were presented impressing
+upon these Indian boys and girls important lessons in independence
+and self-control and self-help essential to development and progress.
+Santee is to be commended surely for this new departure, which must
+prove not only interesting but of permanent value in race elevation.</p>
+
+<hr class="quarter" />
+<div class="sidenote"><b>A New Departure Program.</b></div>
+
+<p>The attention of the whole world has been focalized on China during
+the past few weeks. Many hearts are deeply anxious for friends who
+are in the midst of this upheaval and whose lives are threatened.
+Beginning with mobs instigated by a secret society, apparently
+without preconcertion, a state bordering upon war now exists. Whether
+the Empress Dowager is at the head of this movement it seems
+impossible to decide. The conservative element of the Chinese is
+certainly in sympathy with the Boxers in their effort to exterminate
+the "foreign devils." What the outcome of this insane uprising and
+mad onslaught involving substantial war against the civilized nations
+of the world will be, no prophet of modern times can foretell. Many
+of us wait with anxious and sorrowful hearts for messages which we
+hope and yet fear to receive, lest they confirm our apprehension and
+alarm.</p>
+
+<p>We hope to present in the next issue of the <span class="smcap">Missionary</span> an article
+from Rev. Jee Gam, the missionary of the A. M. A. in San Francisco,
+giving his views and interpretations of the trouble in China. This
+Association is closely related to the great work in this Empire
+through<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_99" id="Page_99">[Pg 99]</a></span> the missions in our own country among the Chinese. How much
+the civilized nations are responsible for the present condition
+through their eager and often ill-advised efforts to absorb the
+territory, or to gain political and commercial advantages, is a
+serious problem. The need of aggressive and earnest work for the
+Chinese who come to our own country is emphasized by these alarming
+conditions. Hundreds should be sent back as missionaries to their own
+people. We hold the key to the solution of foreign missions in
+Africa, China and Japan in members of these races in our own country.</p>
+
+<hr class="quarter" />
+<div class="sidenote"><b>A United Annual Meeting.</b></div>
+
+<p>Several state and local conferences have passed resolutions in favor
+of one annual meeting for all our six missionary societies. Such a
+convention would probably occupy a week. Each society would have
+representation during such a portion of the time as the magnitude of
+the work represented demanded. The general sentiment seems to be that
+the Sabbath should be used as a day of missionary and spiritual
+arousement, for the general interests of the Kingdom of God, as
+represented through our denomination. This plan met the cordial
+approval of the Home Missionary Convention in Detroit recently. It is
+certainly worthy of the careful consideration of all our societies.</p>
+
+<hr class="quarter" />
+<div class="sidenote"><b>The Testimony of Prof. Roark.</b></div>
+
+<p>Prof. R. M. Roark, of the Kentucky State College, at the commencement
+of Chandler Normal School, Lexington, Ky., bore the following
+testimony to the strength and value of the negroes of the South:
+"Forty years ago the race had nothing; now property in the hands of
+the negro has an assessed valuation of nearly five hundred million
+dollars. Not a few individuals are worth seventy-five thousand to one
+hundred thousand dollars. Forty years ago it was a violation of the
+law to teach a negro; now there are thousands of children in good
+schools; and there are two hundred higher institutes of learning for
+negroes, with an attendance of two hundred thousand or more. There
+are many successful teachers, editors, lawyers, doctors and ministers
+who are negroes. All these professions are fully and ably represented
+here, in conservative and aristocratic Lexington, and as regards
+these men and women there is no race problem. Worth, honesty, clear
+knowledge, self-respect and independent support lie at the foundation
+of any citizenship, white or black. May these young graduates carry
+these with them into the life conflict, and be the leaders of their
+race into the widest opportunities of free American citizenship."</p>
+<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_100" id="Page_100">[Pg 100]</a></span></p>
+<hr class="quarter" />
+<div class="sidenote"><b>Splendid Benefactions.</b></div>
+
+<p>Mr. Rossiter Johnson has recently compiled a list of bequests to
+benevolent objects during the last year in the United States. This is
+a remarkable showing. The grand total is nearly sixty-three million
+dollars. The year previous it reached the good sum of thirty-eight
+million, and in 1897, forty-five million. In three years, therefore,
+over one hundred and forty million dollars have been bestowed by
+generous men and women for charitable and educational objects. There
+never has been a time in the history of the world when generosity and
+riches were so often held in possession of the same person as to-day.</p>
+
+<hr class="quarter" />
+<div class="sidenote"><b>Important.</b></div>
+
+<p>Mr. R. H. Learell, of the Class of 1901, at Harvard University, was
+awarded the first prize in the Harvard Bowdoin Series. His subject
+was "The Race Problems in the South."</p>
+
+<p>An interesting and valuable lecture was delivered before the students
+of Western Reserve University, Ohio, by Prof. O. H. Tower, Ph.D. His
+subject was "The Food of the Alabama Negro and its Relation to His
+Mental and Moral Development."</p>
+
+<hr class="quarter" />
+<div class="sidenote"><b>A Useful Record.</b></div>
+
+<p>LeMoyne Normal Institute, at Memphis, Tenn., has just completed the
+twenty-ninth year of its history. It was founded by the American
+Missionary Association in October, 1871. The work of the school has
+grown into large proportions. The enrollment of students for the year
+has numbered 725 in all grades. More than 200 of these have studied
+in the normal department. They are thus fitting themselves for
+teaching among their people in the public and private schools of the
+state.</p>
+
+<p>The graduating class of 1900 consisted of twenty. Dr. LeMoyne, of
+Washington, Pa., after whom the institute is named, gave the ground
+and the buildings and the original outlay. The American Missionary
+Association has maintained the work during these twenty-nine years.
+The Alumni Association of the institute has contributed generously in
+proportion to their means to the work at the school. The Alumni have
+been much interested in the development of the industrial department,
+and have contributed for that purpose. Woodworking, cooking and
+nursing classes will be conducted in the school next year, offering
+still larger opportunities for the training of these young people for
+a larger and more useful life-work.</p>
+<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_101" id="Page_101">[Pg 101]</a></span></p>
+<hr class="quarter" />
+<div class="sidenote"><b>Whittier High School.</b></div>
+
+<p>The closing exercises of Whittier High School were held in the
+Congregational Church, on the 18th of May. This school is situated in
+the Highlands of North Carolina. It reaches the young people of a
+considerable area, and is an influence for large good among them.
+Among the speeches or essays presented at the closing exercises, was
+one entitled: "The South, Her Strength and Weakness." It is a hopeful
+sign that the young men of the South, who are to be the leaders in
+their section, are seriously considering these problems. In the "New
+South," a large element of strength and progress will come from the
+educated young men of the Highlands. They are somewhat slow to be
+moved, but are strong, steadfast and courageous in the defense of
+that which they believe to be right, when they do move.</p>
+
+<hr class="quarter" />
+<div class="sidenote"><b>Grit that Wins.</b></div>
+
+<p>In one of our schools among the American Highlanders a young
+mountaineer, then scarcely out of his teens, applied for membership.
+When asked what funds he had to support him in his proposed study, he
+replied: "Only fifty cents." He had dependent upon him two sisters, a
+brother and his mother. It seemed rather limited capital for such an
+undertaking. He went to work, however, cutting logs, built a
+log-cabin, moved into it with his family, and with an eagerness that
+can scarcely be appreciated by those who have had larger
+opportunities, went to his study in the schoolroom. It is not
+necessary to say that such grit and devotion won for him success. He
+has fitted himself for Christian instruction among his people, and is
+rapidly becoming a leader. This young man, however, is not an
+individual but a type of hundreds of such Highland lads and lassies
+who are struggling with great self-sacrifice for an education in our
+American Missionary Association schools.</p>
+
+<hr class="quarter" />
+<div class="sidenote"><b>Prepared for Life Work.</b></div>
+
+<p>The graduating class from Williamsburg Academy, Kentucky, numbers
+three. They are all from the State of Kentucky, but from different
+counties. The mountain people only are represented. One contemplates
+the study of medicine next fall. One expects to teach. The other, a
+young lady, will probably remain at home for a time. All are
+Christians and in active Christian work.</p>
+
+<hr class="quarter" />
+<div class="sidenote"><b>Grand View Institute, Tennessee.</b></div>
+
+<p>This school, among the Highlanders, has closed a most successful
+year. The following item comes from the principal: "The young men
+have held a mid-week prayer meeting twice each week during<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_102" id="Page_102">[Pg 102]</a></span> the
+month. These meetings were well attended, and much interest was
+manifested. At our last mid-week service, before the closing of the
+school, our little church was well filled, and a large number took
+part in the service. The topic for the evening was 'Some of the
+benefits I have received during the school year in Grand View.' The
+meeting was exceptionally impressive. Many of these students have,
+during the year, taken Christ into their hearts and lives, and this,
+after all, we feel is the 'one thing needful.'"</p>
+
+<hr class="quarter" />
+<div class="sidenote"><b>Manual of Savannah Congregational District.</b></div>
+
+<p>Through the courtesy of the Moderator, the manual of this conference
+has been presented to the editor of the <span class="smcap">Missionary</span>. It contains the
+constitution and by-laws, and a brief historical sketch of this group
+of churches in Georgia. It is an interesting document. Among other
+things, it illustrates the desire of these churches to have an
+educated and upright ministry. Article XII of their constitution
+reads, in part, as follows: "Congregationalists have always believed
+in a Godly and educated ministry. To meet the wants of local
+conditions, a three years' course of study shall be provided for in
+the by-laws, for all who are not graduates of normal, college
+preparatory or college classes.... The by-laws shall provide a four
+years' course of conference study, leading up to the printed
+certificate. Any person holding a printed certificate shall be
+addressed as Reverend, preach without annual examination, on
+condition of good behavior, and may be ordained if called by a church
+to be its pastor.... Ordained preachers coming to us from bodies
+having a lower standard shall pursue our four years' course of study
+and pass annual examinations, if they are under fifty years of age."</p>
+
+<p>This is certainly an earnest and systematic effort on the part of our
+brethren of these churches to establish higher educational and
+ethical standards on the part of the ministers in that state. The
+benefit will accrue not only to our Congregational Churches, but to
+all others in the state.</p>

+
+<h3>INDIAN PROGRESS.</h3>
+
+<div class="center">BY REV. C. L. HALL.</div>
+
+
+<div class="sidenote"><b>Old and New.</b></div>
+
+<p>On May 26th there was a high wind over the prairie. It hindered the
+carpenter who was trying to frame the bell-tower of the new chapel.
+The chapel stands aloft in the center of the Ree Indian settlement.
+It is a shining mark, seen in the June sunlight, for miles up and
+down the Missouri bench<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_103" id="Page_103">[Pg 103]</a></span> lands. The prairie around it is dotted with
+Indian homes. The winds could not stop the building nor overturn it.
+Other work the wind did finish. That was the overthrow of the old
+heathen place of worship which stood a little more than a mile away
+from the new Christian chapel. Neglected for several years, it had
+been gradually disintegrating till the wind threw down the remains of
+the ruin.</p>
+
+<p>The Ree Christian Indians are now looking with satisfaction at the
+chapel which their own work has helped to build. It is the center of
+a new religious and social order. It illustrates, also, the
+co-operative work of the Women's Home Missionary Association,
+Church-Building Society and the American Missionary Association. All
+of these had a helping hand in the building.</p>
+
+<p>It takes all that all can do together to provide new and better
+things for the Indian as their hold of and faith in the old pass
+away.</p>
+
+<div class="sidenote"><b>Citizen Indians.</b></div>
+<p>The Fort Berthold Indians have recently become voters. The
+coming fall elections are important; consequently the caucuses held
+this spring were of some moment. In the county convention eleven
+delegates out of twenty-six were Indians. They might have a deciding
+vote of considerable consequence.</p>
+
+<p>There was an effort to control the ignorant part of the community for
+private interests. The better educated young men, however, were alive
+to their duty and opportunity, and many of the older ones were
+sensible enough to put forward the younger and better informed to
+represent them. The consequence was that when the delegates arrived
+at the county seat they were found to be an intelligent and
+well-dressed company, who could understand what was going on. Two of
+them went from the county to the Fargo state convention to nominate
+delegates to the national presidential convention. One went to the
+judicial convention, and two are to go to the coming state convention
+at Grand Forks to nominate state officers. Three of these delegates
+were from our Santee school, and one from Hampton.</p>
+
+<p>The testimony of political leaders is that the Indian delegates made
+a good impression, and were not led into the self-indulgences that
+disgraced some whites.</p>
+
+<p>Several years ago one of the older boys found it rather tiresome to
+study "civil government" in the mission school. Now he says to his
+teacher, "Civil government is all right." It always will be in the
+hand of intelligent people who want to do right&mdash;all colors
+included.</p>
+<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_104" id="Page_104">[Pg 104]</a></span></p>
+<hr class="section" />
+
+<h3>"LIGHT AND SHADE."</h3>
+
+<div class="center">MRS. IDA V. WOODBURY.</div>
+
+
+<p>The title of this rambling sketch of Southern travel does not refer,
+as might be understood, to the wonderful picturesqueness of the
+Southern mountains and valleys, their ever-varying beauty of sunshine
+and shadow, nor to the spiritual, moral or intellectual condition of
+the people; but is a salutation, embodying in its brevity an
+invitation to the stranger to dismount from his horse, or step down
+from his carriage, and rest himself beneath the shade of the trees.
+"Light, stranger, light and shade," is the laconic, epigrammatic but
+cordial and hospitable greeting.</p>
+
+<p>In response to such a salutation, I "lit" from the buggy one
+afternoon a few weeks ago in front of a one-roomed, windowless log
+hut in the Kentucky mountains, where lived a man, his wife and eight
+children. I was urged to "set by," so I went inside the house. The
+mother was lying on a bed in the corner, and I said to her, "Are you
+sick?" (You must never ask a mountaineer if he is ill, that is
+equivalent to asking him if he is cross.) "Yes," she said, "I'm
+powerful puny." "Have you been sick long?" was my next question.
+"I've been punying around all winter." "Has it been cold here?" "Yes,
+mighty cold." "Have you had any snow?" "Yes, we've had a right smart
+of snow twicet, and oncet it was pretty nigh shoe-mouth deep."</p>
+
+<p>These people rarely admit that they are well. The most you can expect
+is, "I'm tolerable, only jest tolerable," while often they say, "I'm
+powerful puny, or nigh about plum sick." And then with an air of
+extreme resignation, for they seem to enjoy poor health, they add,
+"We're all powerful puny humans."</p>
+
+<p>We had supper on the night of which I write in one of these little
+cabins&mdash;the young missionary of the American Missionary Association
+and myself. The conditions were very primitive, the fare coarse, but
+the welcome hearty, the hospitality bountiful. Then we had a
+prayer-meeting in the "church house," and between fifty and sixty
+people were present. The men dressed in homespun and blue jeans, the
+women all with full-bordered cape bonnets and home-knit woolen mitts.
+It is a great lack of "form" to go with the hands uncovered, but the
+feet are often so; and I will venture to say that the missionary and
+myself were the only persons in the "church house" whose mouths were
+not filled with tobacco, a custom very much in evidence all through
+the meeting.</p>
+
+<p>I talked to them of our work among the Indians, and after the meeting
+one man came to me and shook my hand right royally, as he<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_105" id="Page_105">[Pg 105]</a></span> said,
+"I've never seen you before, mum, and I reckon I never shall see you
+again; but we've been mightily holped up by what you've been saying,
+and I reckon we ought to be doing something for them poor humans." In
+his poverty, in his need, his heart went out to those who seemed to
+him to be in greater destitution.</p>
+
+<p>As we went to our buggy at the close of the meeting, the people
+gathered around to say goodbye, and many were the kindly words and
+the God-speeds. Many, too, were the evidences of hospitality, and one
+insisted that we should go home with him and spend the night. He
+said: "It's a mighty long ride to the school, and you'll be a mighty
+sight more comfortable to come back and sleep with us." We had called
+at his house in the afternoon. There were twelve people&mdash;father,
+mother and ten children&mdash;in a windowless, one-roomed cabin, in which
+were three beds ranged side by side. Just what sleeping
+accommodations they were going to give us I do not know.</p>
+
+<p>Where were we? Who are these people? Right in the heart of the
+Midland Mountains, among our native-born American Highlanders, people
+who have had as great a part in forming American history as any like
+number of men in our country to-day, people who gave to this nation
+Abraham Lincoln, who also produced Jesse James&mdash;they are capable of
+either&mdash;who for a hundred and fifty years have been sitting in the
+shade of ignorance, poverty and superstition, but are now coming into
+the light of the school and the church as provided for them by the
+American Missionary Association.</p>
+
+<p>And now for a moment we will run down into the rice swamps of
+Georgia. Come into the house of old Aunt Peggy. A bed and two boxes
+form all the furniture of the room. The house is a borrowed one. Aunt
+Peggy is having a new one built. It will cost five dollars, and when
+we ask her how she is going to pay for it she tells us she has a
+quarter saved toward it, and she has promised the man who is building
+it her blankets, her only bedding beside an old comforter. But the
+weather is growing warm, she says, and "mebbe before it done turn
+cold I'll be in the hebbenly mansions." One of the saddest relics of
+the old slavery days is these childless, friendless, companionless
+old people, childless because slavery separated them from their
+children; husbands and wives were parted, and all family life
+rendered impossible. Two old people in the region of McIntosh, Ga.,
+have recently died, each alone in a little cabin, and the tragedy was
+not discovered until the buzzards were seen circling around the
+place.</p>
+
+<p>Aunt Peggy's sole comfort and dependence is a little boy eleven or
+twelve years old, whom she picked up by the roadside where he, a tiny
+baby, had been left by a heartless mother. Although then at<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_106" id="Page_106">[Pg 106]</a></span> least
+eighty years old, she strapped him on her back as she went to her
+"tasses" (tasks) in the field. She named him Calvary Baker, and now
+he has become her dependence and support, although the light in her
+shadowed cabin comes from the ministrations of the teachers in
+Dorchester Academy; and as she put her old, gaunt, claw-like black
+fingers on the face of the delicate, refined academy teacher, Aunt
+Peggy said: "Oh, you're my Jesus mudder;" and then, turning to me,
+she said, while a smile lit up the old black face, "Oh, missus, I
+bress de Lord for the Jesus school, for if it had not been for these
+Jesus mudders, I reckon hunger would have carried me off."</p>
+
+<p>It is a wonderful work at McIntosh, as is true of all our schools.
+There are great lessons to be learned there. The student of the negro
+problem would do well to visit this section of the country with its
+historic interest, to note the influence of the old Midway Church,
+whose members were obliged to allow their slaves to attend church, so
+that at one time the black membership of this church was double the
+white; and to learn from a careful statistician that there is a less
+per cent. of crime and immorality, and a greater per cent. of
+full-blooded negroes here, under the influence of this old religious
+<i>regim&eacute;</i>, than can be found in any like number of our colored
+population throughout the Black Belt, save where the Christian school
+has changed the life during this last generation.</p>
+
+<p>We are solving the negro problem in the only way possible, in the
+opinion of all statesmen, all publicists and all philanthropists, by
+the farm and the shop, and the school and the church, and over them
+all the Stars and Stripes. But we are doing more than this; we are
+setting the solitary in families; the wilderness and the solitary
+places are being made glad, and the desert is rejoicing and
+blossoming as the rose.</p>

+<h3>COMMENCEMENT AT FISK UNIVERSITY, TENN.</h3>
+
+
+<p>Fisk graduated classes of usual size. It deeply lamented the absence
+of President Cravath, who was ill in the East, and the late death of
+Prof. Spence. The Dean, J. G. Merrill, was deputed to preside at the
+varied functions of commencement week. The weather was unusually
+temperate, audiences very large.</p>
+
+<p>The largest college preparatory class in the history of the
+university was graduated. It catalogued thirty-nine. Ten States were
+represented on its list, and a larger number of young women than have
+ever entered Fisk before were made Freshmen.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 424px;">
+<img src="images/img115.jpg" width="424" height="361" alt="SENIOR CLASS, FISK UNIVERSITY." title="" />
+<span class="caption">SENIOR CLASS, FISK UNIVERSITY.</span>
+</div>
+
+<p>Commencement week included a missionary sermon, which was delivered
+by Prof. Brown, of Vanderbilt University, upon "Paul the<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_107" id="Page_107">[Pg 107]</a></span>
+Missionary;" baccalaureate, by the Dean, whose theme was "Moses, the
+Leader of his People." To these were added three "graduating
+exercises." In the program were over thirty speakers&mdash;young men and
+women, not one of whom had a syllable of prompting. A graduate of
+Princeton University, spending the day in Nashville, after hearing
+the four "Commencement" orations, said that each one of them was
+superior in thought and delivery to the one that carried off the
+prize at Princeton less than ten days before. These young men and
+their classmates are to make their careers&mdash;three as physicians, two
+as pharmacists, two as teachers, one as a business man, the other as
+a lawyer. The young woman graduate received two diplomas, the second
+being in music, her industry and ability being evidenced in the fact
+that her long hours with the piano did not prevent her receiving high
+honors in the classroom. One of the men had walked fourteen miles
+each day, summer and winter, besides doing the "chores" morning and
+night; another has had a chair in a barber shop every evening; others
+have taught schools in vacation, been Pullman porters<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_108" id="Page_108">[Pg 108]</a></span> and waiters at
+summer resorts. One, whose two grandfathers were Frenchmen, born in
+France, before coming to college loaded the rifle and stood by his
+father, who shot down three men who came to his home to mob him. He
+himself, a very Hercules by name and in appearance, champion on the
+college gridiron, pleaded on the commencement stage most persuasively
+for "Universal Peace."</p>
+
+<p>Our commencement orator was Rev. H. E. Cobb, one of the pastors in
+the Reformed Collegiate Church of New York City. His address upon the
+"Open Door" disclosed to the young graduates their possibilities of
+success and failure, and captivated old and young.</p>
+
+<p>Fisk enters upon a new year with high hopes. Her Jubilee Singers,
+whose music added greatly to the enjoyment of the week, return North
+in the late summer to keep alive the enthusiasm awakened by their
+last season's successes, while the Faculty know the hour grows nearer
+and nearer when the endowment which God has in store for Fisk is to
+materialize, and they will know who are God's chosen servants to do
+for the Negro what has been so gloriously done for the white young
+people of America&mdash;furnishing them a chance to secure an education at
+an institution throughly equipped to provide the leaders of a tenth
+of our population, men and women sound in mind and soul.</p>
+
+<p>The Alumni had an enthusiastic meeting. They were addressed by Miss
+Nancy Jones, '86, who has served the A. B. C. F. M. in Africa, and by
+Dr. A. A. Wesley, '94, who spoke on "How to Overcome Prejudices,"
+who, as surgeon in an Illinois regiment in the Spanish War, won such
+distinction as to have been appointed to read a paper before the
+National Army Surgeons' Association in New York City the week before
+commencement.</p>
+
+<hr class="section" />
+
+<h3>COMMENCEMENT AT TALLADEGA COLLEGE, ALABAMA.</h3>
+
+
+<p>Coming away one afternoon from one of the exercises of commencement
+week at Talladega College, a prominent white citizen said in comment
+on a speech he had just heard: "There is a good deal of foolish talk
+about how much the Spanish-American war has done in bringing the
+North and South together; but the fact is, that schools like this, in
+which the Negro is taught to be law-abiding and to live a moral life,
+administered as this one is with such good sense and wisdom, are
+doing far more than any sentimental influences of the war to bring
+races and sections to mutual good understanding." On Sunday, at the
+big Chautauqua building, during the baccalaureate sermon, two white
+citizens were standing at the door watching the quiet, orderly
+audience of perhaps fifteen hundred colored people.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_109" id="Page_109">[Pg 109]</a></span> One of them has
+not been distinguished for earnestness of desire to see the Negro
+educated. Said the other, "It looks like the niggers are coming up in
+spite of h&mdash;," to which the response, though possibly reluctant, was
+clearly affirmative.</p>
+
+<p>Those who have been toiling all the year long, unable to appreciate
+the work in its perspective, discouraged sometimes because results
+hoped for do not immediately appear, are cheered by such testimony to
+the efficiency and value of the work, even if it is not always given
+in elegant and reverent form. And there was other testimony of the
+same kind from all sorts and conditions of visitors. Expressions of
+pleasure and approval came constantly from alumni, from teachers in
+other schools, from citizens both white and black.</p>
+
+<p>Not as large a graduating class was sent out as usual, there being
+only nine in all&mdash;three young men from the college department, and
+six from the normal school, all young women but one. The parents of
+none of these students have graduated from Talladega. All of them
+were slaves, though most were so young at the time of emancipation as
+not to remember much of slavery days. The father of one of the
+college men, however, was, it is said, made by his master to run
+regularly before the bloodhounds to keep them in training. Sometimes
+it was hard running, and sometimes he had to take refuge in a tree to
+escape harm when the dogs had caught up with him. This young man, who
+carried off the A.B. degree, is planning to go to Yale for further
+study, and after a year or two to enter a Northern law-school.</p>
+
+<p>Another of the same department is in some ways an accomplished
+fellow. He has read widely and remembers what he has read; he plays
+the violin; he is an excellent pianist, and he is a member of the
+college male quartet, which is to spend the summer in the North,
+endeavoring to raise money for new buildings greatly needed at
+Talladega. After this summer campaign he also hopes to begin the
+study of law at Columbia or Harvard. The third young man of the
+college class expects to take for a year a principalship in the
+public schools of a neighboring city, and then enter upon the study
+of medicine.</p>
+
+<p>The young man who finished the normal course, being a good carpenter,
+has been for three years head of the college repair shop. For this
+summer he will return to a country school where he has taught for
+five consecutive summers, and in the fall hopes to enter a
+trade-school to perfect himself in carpentry and to learn what he can
+of architecture and building, purposing to devote himself to that
+line of work.</p>
+
+<p>It is a matter of congratulation to the school that so many
+students,<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_110" id="Page_110">[Pg 110]</a></span> after finishing some course here, are ambitious to pursue
+their studies further in the best institutions of the country.</p>
+
+<p>The young women who were graduated from the normal course are all to
+enter upon the work for which they have been trained, one or two
+already having positions in view in city schools, while the others
+will take up work in the country districts. It is not a large class,
+as has been said, but it is a good, earnest, ambitious class, in
+which there is large promise of solid usefulness.</p>

+
+<h3>COMMENCEMENT AT STRAIGHT UNIVERSITY, LA.</h3>
+
+
+<p>The exercises of commencement week began on the morning of Sunday,
+May 20th, with an interesting address to the Christian associations
+by Rev. A. S. Jackson, D.D., of Dallas, Texas.</p>
+
+<p>On the evening of the same day President Oscar Atwood delivered the
+Baccalaureate Address. The close attention which this address
+commanded showed how well chosen was its theme and interesting the
+presentation of its ideas.</p>
+
+<p>On Monday the Industrial and Grade work was exhibited. Specimens of
+practical work in wood done by the young men and boys in the shop,
+articles both useful and beautiful from the sewing-room, together
+with fine drawings and written exercises done by members of the
+different grades, made up this exhibit.</p>
+
+<p>The value of this branch of the university's work cannot be
+overestimated. The training given is of the most practical kind.
+Young men have been enabled, through the industrial education
+received at the university, to work at the carpenter's trade during
+their summer vacation, and thus earn the means necessary to take them
+through the following year of study. At the present time one
+enterprising young graduate, as a result of this very training, is
+putting up with his own hands the building which is to shelter the
+school he is founding in Southern Louisiana.</p>
+
+<p>In the sewing-room the young women and girls, besides acquiring a
+knowledge of mending and darning, learn to cut, fit and make all
+kinds of garments. Fancy work is taught them after they have learned
+the more useful kinds of sewing.</p>
+
+<p>Monday afternoon the Rev. Chas. R. Dinkins addressed the literary
+societies of the university, and on Monday evening one of the most
+interesting programs of the whole commencement season was
+presented&mdash;namely, the class-day program.</p>
+
+<p>It was in these exercises that the love of the graduating classes for
+their Alma Mater, and their appreciation of her faithful and
+efficient<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_111" id="Page_111">[Pg 111]</a></span> instruction found fullest expression. We have known of
+schools where class-day was made an occasion for ridiculing the
+Faculty, students and instruction of the institution. Not so at
+Straight; class-day there is one of the occasions when the delightful
+relations that have existed between teachers and students, and among
+the student body, are revealed.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 453px;">
+<img src="images/img119.jpg" width="453" height="347" alt="COLLEGE DEPARTMENT GRADUATING CLASS WITH PRESIDENT,
+STRAIGHT UNIVERSITY." title="" />
+<span class="caption">COLLEGE DEPARTMENT GRADUATING CLASS WITH PRESIDENT,
+STRAIGHT UNIVERSITY.</span>
+</div>
+
+<p>A short address by the President is followed by the class oration,
+well composed and ably delivered. Then we listen to an entertaining
+paper which gives us the history of the class. We review with the
+young historian its hardships and its triumphs, and conclude that,
+like all other classes whose history we have heard, it has had a
+remarkable career. The prophecy is a spicy bit of humor, and reflects
+much credit upon its writer, a dainty little miss, as bright and
+interesting a prophet as we shall meet in many a long day. A young
+man now steps forward upon the platform, of whose purpose in so doing
+we are not quite sure. The president of the class soon clears up our
+doubts, however, by requesting President Atwood to come forward. It
+is evident that this is a surprise to the head of the university. The
+young man makes a short speech of presentation and hands to the
+president a gift from the graduating classes. The singing<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_112" id="Page_112">[Pg 112]</a></span> of the
+class ode closes this part of the evening's exercises, and the
+college class now presents an excellent program consisting of an
+oration by the president, a history and a well-written poem.</p>
+
+<p>One cannot help remarking upon the dignity and good taste which
+characterized the exercises of Class-Day. We doubt whether any class
+in a Northern school could have made a better showing.</p>
+

+<span class="caption">COLLEGE PREPARATORY AND NORMAL GRADUATING CLASS,
+STRAIGHT UNIVERSITY.</span>
+</div>
+
+<p>On Tuesday afternoon the graduating exercises of the grammar
+department were held. On Wednesday evening, when the graduating
+classes received their diplomas, the other students received
+certificates of the work they had done.</p>
+
+<p>The alumni of Straight held their annual business meeting on Tuesday
+evening.</p>
+
+<p>The commencement exercises on Wednesday evening formed a fitting
+climax for a week so full of interest and inspiration. These
+exercises are held at Central Church because it can accommodate a
+much larger audience than the university chapel, and in the evening,
+because this hour permits many to be present who, on account of their
+work, could not attend commencement during the day.</p>
+
+<p>Long before the hour appointed for beginning the exercises, all the
+seats were filled and all the standing room in the church utilized,
+and the air was alive with whispers, low tones and the flutter of
+fans as<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_113" id="Page_113">[Pg 113]</a></span> the audience waited, with the best patience it could muster,
+for the opening numbers of the program. When President Atwood rose
+and announced the first number, all sounds ceased, and the great
+audience gave close attention to that and all the twenty-one
+succeeding numbers on the program.</p>
+
+<p>The program was one of which the university may be justly proud. The
+orations of the graduates from the college course on "The Mission of
+the Scholar," "Aims and Ideals," and "Does the Constitution Follow
+the Flag?" would have been considered exceptional in any of our
+Northern colleges, for their thought, expression and delivery. The
+three graduates from the theological department did credit to their
+teacher, Rev. G. W. Henderson, D.D., in their contribution to the
+program, and the sixteen students who were graduated from the normal
+and college preparatory courses likewise acquitted themselves with
+credit. The music of the program was furnished by the students, and
+consisted of piano solos and duets and choruses. The performers
+deserve much commendation. The presentation of diplomas formed an
+impressive close to the evening's program.</p>
+
+<p>To have seen these students is to believe in the work which the
+American Missionary Association is doing in the South, and to become
+a promoter of that work; it is to have faith in the ability of the
+negro to become a useful citizen; it is to catch a glimpse of the
+true solution of the negro problem, and to see that the satisfactory
+solution of that great question is being worked out, not by our
+legislators, but by devoted Christian men and women, like President
+Atwood and his corps of teachers, who are giving the best years of
+their lives to the service of the Master in the Southland.</p>
+
+<p>The graduating class is the largest in the history of the university,
+thirteen young men and twelve young women. Ten of these reside in New
+Orleans, and twelve are from different parts of Louisiana, North
+Carolina and Texas. Seven completed the college preparatory course,
+nine the normal, three the course in arts and three the theological.</p>

+
+<h3>COMMENCEMENT AT TOUGALOO UNIVERSITY, MISS.</h3>
+
+
+<p>Commencement at Tougaloo University this year was characterized by an
+unusual quietness and the absence of the great crowds which usually
+attend. For many weeks smallpox had been prevalent in the regions
+about, so much so, that it was necessary to practically quarantine
+the school against incomers. Since February, nearly all pupils had
+been refused in the boarding department, and from the middle of March
+the day pupils had been excluded almost wholly. It<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_114" id="Page_114">[Pg 114]</a></span> is worthy of
+note, however, that notwithstanding this, the enrollment of the year
+surpassed, by one hundred and more, that of the year previous. It did
+not seem wise to issue any general invitation to the Commencement
+Exercises, and so the public stayed away. A few invited guests came
+from Jackson, among them Governor Longino, Secretary of State Power,
+ex-Congressman Hooker, and some of the pastors of the city. These
+gentlemen made brief addresses, heartily commending the school's work
+and that for which it stands. The annual address on "Wealth," by Dr.
+Cornelius H. Patton, of St. Louis, made a very deep impression.</p>
+
+<p>Four students were graduated from the academy and normal course. Two
+of them, and possibly more, will take college work. Next year
+Tougaloo will, for the first time, have a full college course.
+Excellent work has been done in that department during the past year.
+It is interesting to note that one of the graduates represents the
+second generation at Tougaloo, her mother having been a student in
+the early days of the school. There are many such second generation
+students in the lower grades, and they distinctly show the effects of
+the influences to which their parents were subjected. All the
+graduates were country-bred.</p>
+
+<p>Those visitors to the school who had been familiar with it in the
+past years were specially interested in the outward changes visible.
+The new Beard Hall, commodious and pleasant, well furnished and
+convenient, and the new Refectory, with its dining-room capable of
+seating three hundred students; the Emergency Building, now
+transformed into a spacious building for the manual training in wood
+and industrial drawing; the new building for iron and steel forging
+and masonry; the old shop metamorphosed into a most satisfactory
+laundry, all were commented on as great additions to the material
+side of Tougaloo's life. In passing from building to building,
+attention was paid to the industrial features of the work. The
+exhibits of iron and steel tools made by the students, among them a
+machine for cutting iron, of great strength and excellent
+workmanship; of chairs, desks, tables, tabourets, etc.; of needlework
+from the beginning steps to completed garments; of cookery and of
+millinery, were deemed very satisfactory. Much of the work cannot be
+surpassed anywhere. Leading Mississippians are proud of Tougaloo and
+its work, and esteem it the best school of its class.</p>
+
+<p>Mention was more than once made of the fact that the new president of
+Alcorn College, the state institution for colored young men, which is
+now doing better work than for some years, and his accomplished wife,
+are graduates of Tougaloo. The teacher of iron and steel work there
+had his training in the Tougaloo shops.</p>

+<h3>COMMENCEMENT AT GRANDVIEW INSTITUTE, TENN.</h3>
+
+
+<p>The exercises of the Fifteenth Annual Commencement of the Grandview
+Normal Institute opened with the baccalaureate sermon by the
+principal, Sunday, April 29th, in the chapel.</p>
+
+<p>Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were occupied with examinations in all
+the grades and departments, which afforded abundant evidence of a
+year of faithful and fruitful work.</p>
+
+<p>On Thursday evening, May 3d, the public commencement was held in the
+assembly room of the school building, and was attended by a very
+large audience. The graduates were only three in number, two young
+women and one young man.</p>
+
+<p>Two of the graduates were genuine American Highlanders, and were
+residents of Grandview, the third came from Sequatchie Valley.</p>
+
+<p>The orations and essays were without exception creditable
+performances.</p>
+
+<p>One pleasing feature of the evening was the presentation by Rev. W.
+E. Rogers, County Superintendent, of State diplomas to twenty
+juniors.</p>
+
+<p>The perfect order which prevailed throughout the exercises was in
+striking contrast to former days when pistols and "moonshine" whiskey
+were most fearfully in evidence.</p>
+
+<p>Of the graduates, one of the young women will teach school the coming
+year, the young man will seek work somewhere for a year and hopes
+then to enter the State University at Knoxville and so fit himself
+for some useful calling in life. These graduates are earnest young
+Christians who will go out from their alma mater to reflect credit on
+the School and to do honor to those who have generously given of
+their means that the children of the people stranded on these
+mountains may "see a great light." The year just closed was the most
+prosperous one in the history of Grandview school. The enrollment was
+the largest the school had ever known and was considerably above two
+hundred.</p>
+
+<p>Next year, if the juniors all return, as is expected, the graduating
+class will number about twenty.</p>
+
+<hr class="section" />
+
+<h3>COMMENCEMENT AT PLEASANT HILL ACADEMY, TENN.</h3>
+
+
+<p>The graduating class of Pleasant Hill Academy numbered six&mdash;three
+girls and three boys&mdash;most of the number coming from the Highland Rim
+instead of from the mountains proper. There were four others in the
+class, one from Alabama, but ill-health and other causes reduced the
+number to six.</p>
+<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_116" id="Page_116">[Pg 116]</a></span></p>
+<p>Two or three will continue their work at the University of Tennessee,
+one at the University of Missouri, one at Peabody Normal, Nashville.
+All expect to teach, and one expects eventually to become a trained
+nurse and missionary.</p>
+
+<p>We have been interested in tracing their ancestry, which follows: one
+English, one Scotch-Irish, one Irish, one Scotch-Irish and Dutch, one
+English-Irish, one Scotch-Irish and French. In the class are
+Cumberland Presbyterian, Methodist South, Free Baptist, one Mormon
+and one of Unitarian preferences.</p>
+
+<p>One of the women is the wife of a blind preacher who is doing a good
+work in this region.</p>
+
+<p>Notwithstanding denominational preferences there has been unity of
+feeling and co-operation in Christian work. We feel from expression
+given that these young people will use their education for the
+betterment of those who look to them for leadership.</p>

+<span class="caption">CHILDREN&#39;S COTTAGE AND CHAPEL, FT. BERTHOLD, N. D.</span>
+</div>
+
+<p>This school, as a whole, consists of a mixture of the three Indian
+tribes, the Mandan, Ree and Gros Ventre. The pupils come from<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_117" id="Page_117">[Pg 117]</a></span> homes
+scattered along either side of the Missouri River from Elbowoods to
+Berthold, a stretch of some twenty miles.</p>

+
+<p>When one becomes acquainted with the children after they have been at
+the school a year or two and considers the homes from which some of
+them come, he is almost inclined to wonder at the transforming power
+of Christian education. Most of these Indians have graduated from the
+old-time tepee. Their houses to-day are of logs plastered with mud.
+Sometimes they consist of one room, but frequently have two or three
+rooms. A three-roomed cottage usually consists of a central room with
+one outside door, and a room at each end connecting with the central
+room, but having no outside door. The roof is made of rafters, upon
+which poles are laid crosswise, and the whole covered several inches
+with earth. The floor is sometimes of lumber, but more generally of
+bare earth, which in very wet weather is apt to be turned into mud by
+the rain that drips through the ground-covered roof. In the larger
+houses two or three families often live, sometimes with two or three
+grandmothers or grandfathers, or both.</p>

+children and not for public recognition."</p>

+
+<h3>A TRIBUTE TO REV. A. J. F. BEHRENDS, D.D.</h3>
+
+<div class="center">SECRETARY C. C. CREEGAN.</div>
+
+
+<p>I first became acquainted with Dr. Behrends when he was in Cleveland,
+and had a profound respect for him as a man, as well as one of the
+ablest preachers of our time. When I came to Brooklyn several years
+ago I was led to unite with his church. I can therefore speak from a
+personal knowledge of twenty-five years.</p>
+
+<p>In the death of Dr. Behrends, who had served both as vice-president
+and member of the Executive Committee of the American Missionary
+Association, the Society, as well as the denomination of which he was
+one of the most conspicuous members, has suffered a great loss.
+Central Church, Brooklyn, where he ministered with distinguished
+success for seventeen years and where he was beloved by all, will
+feel the loss of this great and good man most keenly, but all the
+churches of his home city, where his voice was often heard and where
+his influence was so great, will mourn the departure of one of the
+greatest preachers of this generation.</p>
+
+<p>Born in Holland, in the home of an humble Lutheran preacher, he came
+to this country with his parents when five years of age. While
+teaching school in his seventeenth year, near Portsmouth, Ohio, he
+was converted by the preaching of an obscure Methodist minister and
+at once decided to fit himself for the work of the ministry. Largely
+by his own efforts he worked his way through Dennison University,
+Ohio, graduating in 1862 in a class of three, all of whom became
+prominent clergymen. Three years later he completed his theological
+studies at Rochester Theological Seminary at the head of his class
+and was called at once to the pastorate of a large Baptist Church in
+Yonkers, N. Y., where he remained eight years. He was then called to
+the First Baptist Church of Cleveland, Ohio, where he won great
+distinction as a platform orator.</p>
+
+<p>It was during this pastorate, which lasted only three years, that Dr.
+Behrends, after a great struggle, decided to resign from this strong<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_119" id="Page_119">[Pg 119]</a></span>
+church, where he was very popular, and enter another denomination.
+Six happy years were then spent in the Union Church of Providence,
+where he was recognized as one of the foremost preachers in the State
+and nation.</p>
+
+<p>Dr. Behrends was a great scholar. It is the belief of those who knew
+him well that he was able to fill any chair in any of our theological
+seminaries. His services were in frequent demand for courses of
+lectures in our leading colleges and seminaries, and at least two of
+these courses have been put into book form.</p>
+
+<p>While his services were often sought for on great occasions, such as
+the annual meetings of the A. M. A. and A. B. C. F. M., and similar
+gatherings, his best work was done in his own pulpit. His sermons
+were always prepared with the greatest care, and, except on rare
+occasions, were delivered without a note and with wonderful beauty of
+diction and irresistible logic to the audiences of two thousand
+cultured people who hung on his words every Sabbath and who regarded
+him, not without good reason, "the greatest preacher in America."</p>
+
+<p>The secret of the great success of Dr. Behrends as a preacher was not
+to be found in his striking personality, nor in his musical voice,
+nor his profound scholarship, but rather in his strong faith in the
+Bible as the Word of God, as his only creed, and that Christ Jesus,
+the divine Saviour, is to win the whole world to Himself. From this
+belief he never wavered, and to him the preaching of the gospel to
+men and seeing them come into the kingdom was the joy of his soul.</p>

+
+<h3>RICHARD SALTER STORRS.</h3>
+
+<div class="center">CHARLES A. HULL, CHAIRMAN.</div>
+
+
+<p>I shall not attempt to repeat what has been so fully said by the
+religious and secular journals of the country in reference to the
+life and work of this great and good man, but I desire to say a few
+words in regard to his connection with the anti-slavery movement, and
+his interest in the work of the American Missionary Association. He
+was an original Abolitionist, and one of the most pronounced even in
+the early years of the agitation in his opposition to the wickedness
+of slavery, and in later years the cause of the elevation of the
+freedman had no stronger nor better friend than he.</p>
+
+<p>In an article written for the Fiftieth Anniversary Number of <i>The
+Independent</i>, of which he was one of the original editors, speaking
+of the conditions at the time <i>The Independent</i> was founded, and the
+attitude of some of the societies toward slavery, Dr. Storrs added:
+"And repeated efforts to induce the American Board of Foreign
+Missions to<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_120" id="Page_120">[Pg 120]</a></span> take decisive anti-slavery ground, while carrying on its
+work among Cherokees and Choctaws and other slaveholding peoples,
+wholly failed of success&mdash;out of which failure came, however, the
+American Missionary Association, since so justly honored, and so
+widely and nobly useful."</p>
+
+<p>By spoken and by written word he contributed much to the cause of
+Christian education in the South and among the so-called dependent
+races.</p>
+
+<p>About ten years ago he preached a special sermon upon "Our Nation's
+Work for the Colored People," in which, speaking of the work of the
+Association, he said: "Now I affirm absolutely that if there ever was
+a work of God on earth, this is His work! If there was ever anything
+to which the American Christian people were called, they are called
+to this. If there was ever a great opportunity before the Christian
+Church, here it is; not to reach those people merely for their own
+immediate welfare; not to save our own national life merely; but to
+Christianize that immense continent which lies opposite to us on the
+map, which we have wronged so long with the slave-trade and with rum,
+and to which now we can, if we will, send multitudes of messengers to
+testify of the glory of the grace of God."</p>
+
+<p>I wish in closing to say a few words of Dr. Storrs as a friend.
+Through many years he was not only my pastor but the most honored and
+beloved friend of my life. His sense of humor was keen, and his
+playfulness of manner constituted not the least of his charms to
+those who knew him intimately. He never seemed to take a narrow view
+of any subject, but was always lenient to and tolerant of those whose
+opinions differed from his own, and yet strong and vigorous in his
+own convictions. His loss to those closely associated with him in
+personal and Church relations is one which can never be filled. He
+was extremely modest in his estimate of himself and his efforts, and
+simple-minded to a wonderful degree for a man of such supreme power
+and influence. He never shirked what appeared to him a duty, and one
+of the pleasantest recollections of my life is of a journey made by
+him, at considerable personal inconvenience, only about a year ago,
+to visit a former parishioner who had not seen him for years, and who
+in his old age and feebleness desired to talk with him. His visit
+brought sunshine and mental and spiritual comfort, and will ever be
+gratefully remembered by those to whom he ministered.</p>
+
+<p>In grandeur of thought, in nobility of utterance, and in his
+wonderful personality, he was unique, and his death has left in the
+American pulpit a void which we cannot expect to see filled.</p>

+<h3><span class="large">Obituary.</span></h3>
+
+<hr class="section" />
+
+<h3>PROFESSOR A. K. SPENCE.</h3>
+
+
+<p>Rev. Adam K. Spence, for twenty-five years a professor in Fisk
+University, died in Nashville, Tenn., April 24, 1900. He was born in
+Aberdeenshire, Scotland, in 1831. His parents removed to this country
+in his early childhood. He studied in Oberlin and Ann Arbor,
+graduating at the last named institution, where he taught for a time
+after graduation.</p>
+
+<p>In 1870 he was appointed by the American Missionary Association as
+the principal of the school which afterward became Fisk University.
+Since then scores of young people have gone forth each year from this
+institution bearing the signate of Christian culture, and their
+widespread influence is telling upon the South. Prof. Spence laid the
+foundations of the Greek department in this university.</p>
+
+<p>His love for music and appreciation of its finest effects amounted
+almost to a passion. He helped give the university a high standard of
+music, which has rendered it unique in Southern schools. Especially
+was he an advocate of jubilee music, and did much to gather these
+songs of quaint power and value into the archives of the university.
+His great interest was in the spiritual development of the students.
+Many revivals, resulting in the conversion of large numbers, were
+greatly promoted by his prayer and earnest efforts. Prof. Spence was
+always present at the prayer meeting when it was possible for him to
+attend, and his influence was profoundly felt.</p>
+
+<p>At the funeral, when the people passed to take a last look at the
+familiar face, old men and women who had known him as their friend
+during all these years, students and little children gazed lovingly
+upon him. A large body of students went directly from Jubilee Hall to
+Mount Olivet, where his body was laid to rest.</p>

+
+<h3>REV. W. S. ALEXANDER, D.D.</h3>
+
+
+<p>The death of Dr. Alexander removes one who, in other years, occupied
+an important position in the mission service of this Association. Dr.
+Alexander was president of Straight University during a difficult and
+important period. He made his impression upon the institution,
+developing the work internally both intensively and extensively. He
+was an earnest student and encouraged scholarship among the students.
+His large influence was felt among the churches of lower Louisiana.
+He became something of a bishop in the Congregational<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_122" id="Page_122">[Pg 122]</a></span> work in that
+state. His judgment was wise and wholesome and his counsel always
+helpful. His name is held in esteem, almost in reverence, by many of
+the colored people of that region even to this day.</p>
+
+<p>Dr. Alexander was born in East Killingly, Conn., August 29, 1835. He
+was a graduate of Yale College and Andover Theological Seminary. He
+held important pastorates in Connecticut and Wisconsin prior to the
+war. He served under the Christian Commission with the Army of the
+Potomac. He went abroad in 1872 and took charge of twelve free
+churches in Italy. Returning from that country, he accomplished
+fruitful missionary service in the South. In 1886, he became pastor
+of the North Avenue Congregational Church, in Cambridge, Mass., and
+served in this capacity until 1890. Since retiring from active
+pastoral duties he has ministered to churches in various cities, most
+acceptably to the people and with fruitful results.</p>

+<h3>PORTO RICO NOTES.</h3>
+
+<div class="center">CHARLES B. SCOTT, SANTURCE, PORTO RICO.</div>
+
+
+<div class="sidenote"><b>Educational Notes.</b></div>
+
+<p>Of the 950,000 inhabitants of Porto Rico, only about 100,000 can read
+or write; 85 per cent. of the adult population are illiterate. Of the
+200,000 children from five to sixteen years of age, all the schools,
+public and private, can accommodate about thirty thousand. The
+average daily attendance in all the schools of the island during the
+past year has been not more than twenty to twenty-five thousand.</p>
+
+<p>The school population (five to sixteen years of age) of San Juan is
+about 6,000. The total seating capacity of all schools in the
+capital, public and private, is not more than fifteen hundred.</p>
+
+<p>There have been during the past year in the public schools of San
+Juan nine or ten American teachers; forty more American teachers are
+scattered through the public schools of the island. About twenty are
+gentlemen acting as supervisors of districts and superintendents of
+city schools.</p>
+
+
+<div class="sidenote"><b>Christian Schools.</b></div>
+
+<p>The American Missionary Association of the Congregational Churches
+has had during the past school year seven American teachers in Porto
+Rico, divided between Santurce, a suburb of San Juan, and Lares. The
+Presbyterians have had four American missionary teachers at Mayaguez.
+The Baptist Church has two American ladies devoting part of their
+time to teaching. The Christian Church has a school at San Juan, with
+three teachers from the states.</p>
+
+<p>Porto Rico is divided for educational purposes into fifteen
+districts,<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_123" id="Page_123">[Pg 123]</a></span> each with an American supervisor in charge of from thirty
+to forty schools. These gentlemen must ride hundreds of miles,
+largely on native ponies, over poor roads and poorer mountain trails,
+inspecting the schools and helping, directing and often stirring up
+the native teachers.</p>
+
+<p>The schools of the American Missionary Association have enrolled over
+three hundred children. At Lares the pupils have been very regular in
+attendance. In Santurce the attendance has been somewhat irregular.
+In both schools the subjects pursued in American schools in the first
+five grades have been taken up, with much attention to English. The
+fact that very few children knew any English, and that most of the
+teachers knew very little Spanish, made the work trying and slow at
+first. The children proved themselves about as bright as American
+children, quick in their perceptions, with good memories, weak in
+arithmetic, not good thinkers or reasoners.</p>
+
+<p>Rarely do American teachers in the States receive so many little
+tokens of esteem and appreciation. On the other hand, the pupils are
+quick-tempered, with little power of self control; rather easily
+offended, and lack in perseverance and stability. They have little
+idea of attention and little power to study. They are anxious to come
+to school, and will sacrifice much to get clothes and pay tuition. On
+the other hand, they will often stay at home for trivial reasons,
+having no idea of the need of regular attendance. They always come to
+school well dressed and usually clean; they will not come barefooted,
+ragged or dirty. The children of the poorer classes roam the streets,
+before and after school, barefooted and ragged, saving their clothes
+and shoes for school.</p>
+
+<p>The Christian schools, such as those of the American Missionary
+Association, do not exist merely to supplement the public schools.
+From the conditions in Porto Rico the public schools must be entirely
+and utterly non-religious. Not even religious songs or the Lord's
+Prayer are allowed. Any teacher discovered teaching any phase of
+religion forfeits his or her salary for that month.</p>
+
+
+<div class="sidenote"><b>Bible Study.</b></div>
+
+<p>In the Christian schools, while the carefully-selected American
+teachers insure good schools and good teaching of the ordinary
+branches, there is a place for moral education, for simple religious
+exercises and for Bible study.</p>
+
+
+<div class="sidenote"><b>Rural Education.</b></div>
+
+<p>The great problem in Porto Rico will be rural education. Probably
+800,000 of its 950,000 people live in the country or in hamlets. The
+cities are already providing for teachers' training-schools. The
+field of greatest usefulness for the A. M. A. lies in giving the
+young men and women a fair<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_124" id="Page_124">[Pg 124]</a></span> education under Christian influences, and
+sending them out into the country and village schools.</p>
+
+<p>The people of Lares are deeply interested in the school and willing
+to help the work; the location is as healthful as any in the island,
+and Lares, as a great coffee center, promises to thrive and grow.</p>
+
+<p>The education most needed in Porto Rico is practical, industrial
+education. Santurce, near the capital, with a large, poor population
+about the school, dependent on their daily work for their support,
+furnishes an excellent location for an industrial school. The people
+and children do not know how to do anything. The women are
+"lavenderas," or washwomen, the children carry water, the men do odd
+jobs, and all are poorly housed, poorly clothed, poorly fed. The
+children need manual training, and gardening for the boys and sewing
+and cooking for the girls. Next year it is proposed to start these
+lines of work at Santurce. Head and hand and heart can be reached and
+trained for a better and more useful Christian life.</p>

+
+<h3>LOSS OF SUPPLIES FOR ALASKA.</h3>
+
+
+<p>Our missionaries at Cape Prince of Wales, Mr. and Mrs. Lopp, sent us
+in the spring their request for supplies of provisions and other
+necessities for the coming year. This request was immediately
+fulfilled by purchases in San Francisco, and the supplies were duly
+sent out in the bark "Alaska."</p>
+
+<p>We have received intelligence from Dr. Jackson, at Nome, that the
+bark "Alaska" was driven ashore and wrecked in the surf on Wednesday,
+June 6th. In this letter Dr. Jackson mentions that the wrecked ship
+contained a cabinet organ for the Prince of Wales mission, which was
+ruined, and that the ship also brought up a turkey from San Francisco
+for Mr. Lopp's Thanksgiving dinner.</p>
+
+<p>The next day Dr. Jackson wrote us a brief note, saying: "The bark
+Alaska that went ashore on Wednesday went to pieces in the storm
+yesterday, and the supplies for the station at Cape Prince of Wales
+are a total loss, even to the Thanksgiving turkey, which was
+drowned." He added that he hoped to meet Mr. Lopp sometime next week.</p>
+
+<p>The destruction of these supplies renders it necessary to send others
+at once. The faithful missionaries at this important station must not
+suffer. The friends of our Alaska mission who have so generously
+contributed to its support will not forget this additional financial
+necessity coming in this strange and unexpected calamity.</p>

+<h3><span class="large">Department of Christian Endeavor.</span></h3>
+
+<hr class="section" />
+
+<h3>STATE AND CITY ORGANIZATION.</h3>
+
+<div class="center">BY SECRETARY J. E. ROY.</div>
+
+
+<p>The Association Building (Y. M. C. A.), in Chicago, furnishes offices
+for several of the National Missionary Societies, among them the
+American Missionary Association. In addition to these we have the
+depository and reception-room of the United Society of Christian
+Endeavor, which is also used as the headquarters of the Illinois and
+Chicago Union. Here the state board holds its weekly session. Here is
+kept the supply of Christian Endeavor literature for the varied needs
+of the Christian Endeavor workers, helps for missionary and
+temperance and good citizenship meetings, with an array of programs.
+Among all Endeavorers, as among all missionary society workers, the
+hunger for programs is great indeed. Blessed be the man or woman who
+has the genius for preparing such stimulating outlines of study.</p>
+
+<p>In this city there are two hundred and fifty Christian Endeavor
+Societies. In fifteen societies in the South Division of the city the
+sum of $791.28 has been given to missionary work since January 1st,
+of which $588.43 went to foreign missions, $61.54 to home missions
+and $141.40 to city missions.</p>

+<span class="caption">HEADQUARTERS Y. P. S. C. E. UNION, CHICAGO, ILL.</span>
+</div>
+
+<p>Nine societies of Evanston in the last year have given $688.55 to
+missions&mdash;$255 to foreign, $59 to home and $374 to city missions. All
+have given something to the famine sufferers in India. Some of the
+societies visit hospitals and take flowers to the sick; one society
+visits a crippled lady once a week and holds a little prayer-meeting
+with her. The First Congregational Society has given $290 to the
+Chicago Commons.</p>
+<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_126" id="Page_126">[Pg 126]</a></span></p>
+<p>A member of one Chicago society, a business man who is a great
+Christian Endeavor worker, has a library of over sixty volumes on
+missionary subjects which he is loaning all the time. Our Pilgrim
+Church has a society which publishes its own paper, <i>The Pilgrim's
+Progress</i>, that serves all the purposes of the church in its several
+departments.</p>
+
+
+<div class="sidenote"><b>The Chicago Chinese Endeavor.</b></div>
+
+<p>The Chinese school in Dr. Goodwin's church, the First, has its
+Christian Endeavor Society. It is conducted mainly by the Chinese in
+their native language. They sing our gospel songs in Chinese and are
+earnest in the study of the Bible, pursuing the customary order of
+worship and of work. The school was started in 1884, with 32 pupils
+and 20 teachers. The number soon came up to 80. Then, as other
+schools were started, this number was diminished, but from the first
+the work has been a success. In 1897, a Monday night school was
+started and it is flourishing yet. As many as forty from this school
+have publicly professed Christ. Four united with the church in the
+last year. Four have been for several years in missionary work in
+China, one of them, Chan Sui Chung, as assistant of Rev. Dr. C. R.
+Hager, M.D., has charge of a chapel in the village of Hoi Yin, and
+Dr. Hager reports him quite helpful in preparing native evangelists,
+and says that God has greatly blessed his labors. Chan Sui Chung had
+over fifty baptisms in his mission in 1899. They soon catch the
+benevolent spirit of the Gospel. Last year the members of this school
+gave $50 for mission work in California, $60 for aid in building a
+house of worship near their families in China, and one of them, from
+his own earnings, gave $500 for mission work in his own land.</p>
+
+<p>Rev. J. A. Mack, who has been for many years secretary of the Chicago
+Bible Society, and who is the volunteer superintendent of this
+Sunday-school, is just now out in our <i>Times-Herald</i> with an article
+from which I get these statistics. He also says there are some 2,000
+Chinese in this city and for them ten Chinese mission schools&mdash;the
+number of pupils depending upon the number of Chicago Christians who
+are ready to teach them.</p>

+
+<div class="sidenote"><b>A Live Endeavor Church.</b></div>
+
+<p>It is the Second Congregational Church of Oak Park, Dr. Sydney
+Strong, pastor. Its Christian Endeavor Society, besides paying $25 a
+year for the support of a young lady student in Dakota, and a like
+amount for a young girl student in a colored school at the South, has
+subscribed and is now paying the sum of $500 toward the erection of
+their magnificent meeting-house, which was dedicated only<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_127" id="Page_127">[Pg 127]</a></span> this last
+spring. A class in the Sunday-school of that church also subscribed a
+thousand dollars toward their church edifice and is paying it
+promptly. The capacity of this building was tested during the
+meetings of the General Association of Illinois, and it was found
+capable of seating a thousand people in its auditorium, and of
+feeding six hundred people at the first tables in its dining room on
+occasion of the banquet given by the City Congregational Club to the
+members of the General Association of the state. That club had made
+the American Missionary Association its guest along with the General
+Association, and so brought upon its platform as speakers, Secretary
+C. J. Ryder, D.D., Mrs. I. V. Woodbury, of Boston, Field Missionary
+Rev. G. W. Moore, and Rev. Mary C. Collins of the Dakota Mission. The
+Jubilee Singers discoursed their delicious music through that
+session, as also through those of the state body, and filled our city
+and its surroundings with the sincerest praise of their spiritually
+elevating service in song. The exploiting of the American Missionary
+Association thus by the club was a spontaneous and immensely hearty
+commendation of its mission and its work.</p>

+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm

+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to

+Gutenberg-tm 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-tm electronic works

+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"

+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain 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-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm 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-tm 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-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside 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-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm 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 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
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm 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.

+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm 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-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm 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-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 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.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  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.

+
+
+Section 4.  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.

+of estates, to secure as large a sum as possible for remittance in
+July, August and September. The fiscal year closes September 30th. We

+1899-1900 without debt.

+[Sidenote: Annual Meeting, Oct. 23d-25th.]
+
+The Fifty-fourth Annual Meeting of the American Missionary
+Association is to be held in Springfield, Mass., October 23d-25th.
+The Court Square Theatre has been secured, containing the largest
+auditorium in the city. A great gathering is anticipated. Rev. Newell
+Dwight Hillis, D.D., will preach the sermon. Reports from the large
+and varied fields will be presented by missionaries. The fields now
+reach from Porto Rico to Alaska, and present various and interesting
+conditions of life. The great problems of national and missionary
+importance that are pressing themselves upon the attention of
+Christian patriots everywhere will be ably discussed. Contributing
+churches, local conferences and state associations are entitled to
+send delegates to this convention of the American Missionary
+Association.
+
+
+[Sidenote: A New Departure Program.]
+
+Santee Training School presented a unique and interesting program at
+the closing exercises, June 15th, 1900. "A New Departure Program for
+Closing of School" was the title upon the printed page. The program
+was divided into two parts. Part first was confined to history. The
+general subject presented in the papers was "The Development of
+Civilized Ways of Living." One of the Indian pupils read a paper on
+"First Ways of Getting Food and Clothing." Another on "First
+Dwellings." The future as well as the past in race development and
+elevation was considered. "Beginning to Provide for the Future" was
+the subject of another paper. "Clothing" was discussed in relation to
+its production and value.
+
+The second part of this "New Departure Program" presented science in
+a practical and helpful way. The general subject was "Natural Forces
+are for Human Use." Interesting and valuable papers were presented on
+such themes as "Wind Mills," "Non-conduction in Electricity," "Plant
+Breathing," "Food Stored," and other suggestive and important
+subjects. Throughout abundant illustrations were presented impressing
+upon these Indian boys and girls important lessons in independence
+and self-control and self-help essential to development and progress.
+Santee is to be commended surely for this new departure, which must
+prove not only interesting but of permanent value in race elevation.
+
+
+[Sidenote: A New Departure Program.]
+
+The attention of the whole world has been focalized on China during
+the past few weeks. Many hearts are deeply anxious for friends who
+are in the midst of this upheaval and whose lives are threatened.
+Beginning with mobs instigated by a secret society, apparently
+without preconcertion, a state bordering upon war now exists. Whether
+the Empress Dowager is at the head of this movement it seems
+impossible to decide. The conservative element of the Chinese is
+certainly in sympathy with the Boxers in their effort to exterminate
+the "foreign devils." What the outcome of this insane uprising and
+mad onslaught involving substantial war against the civilized nations
+of the world will be, no prophet of modern times can foretell. Many
+of us wait with anxious and sorrowful hearts for messages which we
+hope and yet fear to receive, lest they confirm our apprehension and
+alarm.
+
+We hope to present in the next issue of the MISSIONARY an article
+from Rev. Jee Gam, the missionary of the A. M. A. in San Francisco,
+giving his views and interpretations of the trouble in China. This
+Association is closely related to the great work in this Empire
+through the missions in our own country among the Chinese. How much
+the civilized nations are responsible for the present condition
+through their eager and often ill-advised efforts to absorb the
+territory, or to gain political and commercial advantages, is a
+serious problem. The need of aggressive and earnest work for the
+Chinese who come to our own country is emphasized by these alarming
+conditions. Hundreds should be sent back as missionaries to their own
+people. We hold the key to the solution of foreign missions in
+Africa, China and Japan in members of these races in our own country.
+
+
+[Sidenote: A United Annual Meeting.]
+
+Several state and local conferences have passed resolutions in favor
+of one annual meeting for all our six missionary societies. Such a
+convention would probably occupy a week. Each society would have
+representation during such a portion of the time as the magnitude of
+the work represented demanded. The general sentiment seems to be that
+the Sabbath should be used as a day of missionary and spiritual
+arousement, for the general interests of the Kingdom of God, as
+represented through our denomination. This plan met the cordial
+approval of the Home Missionary Convention in Detroit recently. It is
+certainly worthy of the careful consideration of all our societies.

+[Sidenote: The Testimony of Prof. Roark.]
+
+Prof. R. M. Roark, of the Kentucky State College, at the commencement
+of Chandler Normal School, Lexington, Ky., bore the following
+testimony to the strength and value of the negroes of the South:
+"Forty years ago the race had nothing; now property in the hands of
+the negro has an assessed valuation of nearly five hundred million
+dollars. Not a few individuals are worth seventy-five thousand to one
+hundred thousand dollars. Forty years ago it was a violation of the
+law to teach a negro; now there are thousands of children in good
+schools; and there are two hundred higher institutes of learning for
+negroes, with an attendance of two hundred thousand or more. There
+are many successful teachers, editors, lawyers, doctors and ministers
+who are negroes. All these professions are fully and ably represented
+here, in conservative and aristocratic Lexington, and as regards
+these men and women there is no race problem. Worth, honesty, clear
+knowledge, self-respect and independent support lie at the foundation
+of any citizenship, white or black. May these young graduates carry
+these with them into the life conflict, and be the leaders of their
+race into the widest opportunities of free American citizenship."
+
+
+[Sidenote: Splendid Benefactions.]
+
+Mr. Rossiter Johnson has recently compiled a list of bequests to
+benevolent objects during the last year in the United States. This is
+a remarkable showing. The grand total is nearly sixty-three million
+dollars. The year previous it reached the good sum of thirty-eight
+million, and in 1897, forty-five million. In three years, therefore,
+over one hundred and forty million dollars have been bestowed by
+generous men and women for charitable and educational objects. There
+never has been a time in the history of the world when generosity and
+riches were so often held in possession of the same person as to-day.

+[Sidenote: A Useful Record.]
+
+LeMoyne Normal Institute, at Memphis, Tenn., has just completed the
+twenty-ninth year of its history. It was founded by the American
+Missionary Association in October, 1871. The work of the school has
+grown into large proportions. The enrollment of students for the year
+has numbered 725 in all grades. More than 200 of these have studied
+in the normal department. They are thus fitting themselves for
+teaching among their people in the public and private schools of the
+state.
+
+The graduating class of 1900 consisted of twenty. Dr. LeMoyne, of
+Washington, Pa., after whom the institute is named, gave the ground
+and the buildings and the original outlay. The American Missionary
+Association has maintained the work during these twenty-nine years.
+The Alumni Association of the institute has contributed generously in
+proportion to their means to the work at the school. The Alumni have
+been much interested in the development of the industrial department,
+and have contributed for that purpose. Woodworking, cooking and
+nursing classes will be conducted in the school next year, offering
+still larger opportunities for the training of these young people for
+a larger and more useful life-work.

+[Sidenote: Whittier High School.]
+
+The closing exercises of Whittier High School were held in the
+Congregational Church, on the 18th of May. This school is situated in
+the Highlands of North Carolina. It reaches the young people of a
+considerable area, and is an influence for large good among them.
+Among the speeches or essays presented at the closing exercises, was
+one entitled: "The South, Her Strength and Weakness." It is a hopeful
+sign that the young men of the South, who are to be the leaders in
+their section, are seriously considering these problems. In the "New
+South," a large element of strength and progress will come from the
+educated young men of the Highlands. They are somewhat slow to be
+moved, but are strong, steadfast and courageous in the defense of
+that which they believe to be right, when they do move.

+[Sidenote: Grit that Wins.]
+
+In one of our schools among the American Highlanders a young
+mountaineer, then scarcely out of his teens, applied for membership.
+When asked what funds he had to support him in his proposed study, he
+replied: "Only fifty cents." He had dependent upon him two sisters, a
+brother and his mother. It seemed rather limited capital for such an
+undertaking. He went to work, however, cutting logs, built a
+log-cabin, moved into it with his family, and with an eagerness that
+can scarcely be appreciated by those who have had larger
+opportunities, went to his study in the schoolroom. It is not
+necessary to say that such grit and devotion won for him success. He
+has fitted himself for Christian instruction among his people, and is
+rapidly becoming a leader. This young man, however, is not an
+individual but a type of hundreds of such Highland lads and lassies
+who are struggling with great self-sacrifice for an education in our
+American Missionary Association schools.

+Christians and in active Christian work.

+
+This school, among the Highlanders, has closed a most successful
+year. The following item comes from the principal: "The young men
+have held a mid-week prayer meeting twice each week during the
+month. These meetings were well attended, and much interest was
+manifested. At our last mid-week service, before the closing of the
+school, our little church was well filled, and a large number took
+part in the service. The topic for the evening was 'Some of the
+benefits I have received during the school year in Grand View.' The
+meeting was exceptionally impressive. Many of these students have,
+during the year, taken Christ into their hearts and lives, and this,
+after all, we feel is the 'one thing needful.'"

+[Sidenote: Manual of Savannah Congregational District.]
+
+Through the courtesy of the Moderator, the manual of this conference
+has been presented to the editor of the MISSIONARY. It contains the
+constitution and by-laws, and a brief historical sketch of this group
+of churches in Georgia. It is an interesting document. Among other
+things, it illustrates the desire of these churches to have an
+educated and upright ministry. Article XII of their constitution
+reads, in part, as follows: "Congregationalists have always believed
+in a Godly and educated ministry. To meet the wants of local
+conditions, a three years' course of study shall be provided for in
+the by-laws, for all who are not graduates of normal, college
+preparatory or college classes.... The by-laws shall provide a four
+years' course of conference study, leading up to the printed
+certificate. Any person holding a printed certificate shall be
+addressed as Reverend, preach without annual examination, on
+condition of good behavior, and may be ordained if called by a church
+to be its pastor.... Ordained preachers coming to us from bodies
+having a lower standard shall pursue our four years' course of study
+and pass annual examinations, if they are under fifty years of age."
+
+This is certainly an earnest and systematic effort on the part of our
+brethren of these churches to establish higher educational and
+ethical standards on the part of the ministers in that state. The
+benefit will accrue not only to our Congregational Churches, but to
+all others in the state.

+
+INDIAN PROGRESS.
+
+BY REV. C. L. HALL.
+
+
+[Sidenote: Old and New.]
+
+On May 26th there was a high wind over the prairie. It hindered the
+carpenter who was trying to frame the bell-tower of the new chapel.
+The chapel stands aloft in the center of the Ree Indian settlement.
+It is a shining mark, seen in the June sunlight, for miles up and
+down the Missouri bench lands. The prairie around it is dotted with
+Indian homes. The winds could not stop the building nor overturn it.
+Other work the wind did finish. That was the overthrow of the old
+heathen place of worship which stood a little more than a mile away
+from the new Christian chapel. Neglected for several years, it had
+been gradually disintegrating till the wind threw down the remains of
+the ruin.
+
+The Ree Christian Indians are now looking with satisfaction at the
+chapel which their own work has helped to build. It is the center of
+a new religious and social order. It illustrates, also, the
+co-operative work of the Women's Home Missionary Association,
+Church-Building Society and the American Missionary Association. All
+of these had a helping hand in the building.
+
+It takes all that all can do together to provide new and better
+things for the Indian as their hold of and faith in the old pass
+away.
+
+
+[Sidenote: Citizen Indians.]
+
+The Fort Berthold Indians have recently become voters. The
+coming fall elections are important; consequently the caucuses held
+this spring were of some moment. In the county convention eleven
+delegates out of twenty-six were Indians. They might have a deciding
+vote of considerable consequence.
+
+There was an effort to control the ignorant part of the community for
+private interests. The better educated young men, however, were alive
+to their duty and opportunity, and many of the older ones were
+sensible enough to put forward the younger and better informed to
+represent them. The consequence was that when the delegates arrived
+at the county seat they were found to be an intelligent and
+well-dressed company, who could understand what was going on. Two of
+them went from the county to the Fargo state convention to nominate
+delegates to the national presidential convention. One went to the
+judicial convention, and two are to go to the coming state convention
+at Grand Forks to nominate state officers. Three of these delegates
+were from our Santee school, and one from Hampton.
+
+The testimony of political leaders is that the Indian delegates made
+a good impression, and were not led into the self-indulgences that
+disgraced some whites.
+
+Several years ago one of the older boys found it rather tiresome to
+study "civil government" in the mission school. Now he says to his
+teacher, "Civil government is all right." It always will be in the
+hand of intelligent people who want to do right--all colors
+included.

+
+"LIGHT AND SHADE."
+
+MRS. IDA V. WOODBURY.
+
+
+The title of this rambling sketch of Southern travel does not refer,
+as might be understood, to the wonderful picturesqueness of the
+Southern mountains and valleys, their ever-varying beauty of sunshine
+and shadow, nor to the spiritual, moral or intellectual condition of
+the people; but is a salutation, embodying in its brevity an
+invitation to the stranger to dismount from his horse, or step down
+from his carriage, and rest himself beneath the shade of the trees.
+"Light, stranger, light and shade," is the laconic, epigrammatic but
+cordial and hospitable greeting.
+
+In response to such a salutation, I "lit" from the buggy one
+afternoon a few weeks ago in front of a one-roomed, windowless log
+hut in the Kentucky mountains, where lived a man, his wife and eight
+children. I was urged to "set by," so I went inside the house. The
+mother was lying on a bed in the corner, and I said to her, "Are you
+sick?" (You must never ask a mountaineer if he is ill, that is
+equivalent to asking him if he is cross.) "Yes," she said, "I'm
+powerful puny." "Have you been sick long?" was my next question.
+"I've been punying around all winter." "Has it been cold here?" "Yes,
+mighty cold." "Have you had any snow?" "Yes, we've had a right smart
+of snow twicet, and oncet it was pretty nigh shoe-mouth deep."
+
+These people rarely admit that they are well. The most you can expect
+is, "I'm tolerable, only jest tolerable," while often they say, "I'm
+powerful puny, or nigh about plum sick." And then with an air of
+extreme resignation, for they seem to enjoy poor health, they add,
+"We're all powerful puny humans."
+
+We had supper on the night of which I write in one of these little
+cabins--the young missionary of the American Missionary Association
+and myself. The conditions were very primitive, the fare coarse, but
+the welcome hearty, the hospitality bountiful. Then we had a
+prayer-meeting in the "church house," and between fifty and sixty
+people were present. The men dressed in homespun and blue jeans, the
+women all with full-bordered cape bonnets and home-knit woolen mitts.
+It is a great lack of "form" to go with the hands uncovered, but the
+feet are often so; and I will venture to say that the missionary and
+myself were the only persons in the "church house" whose mouths were
+not filled with tobacco, a custom very much in evidence all through
+the meeting.
+
+I talked to them of our work among the Indians, and after the meeting
+one man came to me and shook my hand right royally, as he said,
+"I've never seen you before, mum, and I reckon I never shall see you
+again; but we've been mightily holped up by what you've been saying,
+and I reckon we ought to be doing something for them poor humans." In
+his poverty, in his need, his heart went out to those who seemed to
+him to be in greater destitution.
+
+As we went to our buggy at the close of the meeting, the people
+gathered around to say goodbye, and many were the kindly words and
+the God-speeds. Many, too, were the evidences of hospitality, and one
+insisted that we should go home with him and spend the night. He
+said: "It's a mighty long ride to the school, and you'll be a mighty
+sight more comfortable to come back and sleep with us." We had called
+at his house in the afternoon. There were twelve people--father,
+mother and ten children--in a windowless, one-roomed cabin, in which
+were three beds ranged side by side. Just what sleeping
+accommodations they were going to give us I do not know.
+
+Where were we? Who are these people? Right in the heart of the
+Midland Mountains, among our native-born American Highlanders, people
+who have had as great a part in forming American history as any like
+number of men in our country to-day, people who gave to this nation
+Abraham Lincoln, who also produced Jesse James--they are capable of
+either--who for a hundred and fifty years have been sitting in the
+shade of ignorance, poverty and superstition, but are now coming into
+the light of the school and the church as provided for them by the
+American Missionary Association.
+
+And now for a moment we will run down into the rice swamps of
+Georgia. Come into the house of old Aunt Peggy. A bed and two boxes
+form all the furniture of the room. The house is a borrowed one. Aunt
+Peggy is having a new one built. It will cost five dollars, and when
+we ask her how she is going to pay for it she tells us she has a
+quarter saved toward it, and she has promised the man who is building
+it her blankets, her only bedding beside an old comforter. But the
+weather is growing warm, she says, and "mebbe before it done turn
+cold I'll be in the hebbenly mansions." One of the saddest relics of
+the old slavery days is these childless, friendless, companionless
+old people, childless because slavery separated them from their
+children; husbands and wives were parted, and all family life
+rendered impossible. Two old people in the region of McIntosh, Ga.,
+have recently died, each alone in a little cabin, and the tragedy was
+not discovered until the buzzards were seen circling around the
+place.
+
+Aunt Peggy's sole comfort and dependence is a little boy eleven or
+twelve years old, whom she picked up by the roadside where he, a tiny
+baby, had been left by a heartless mother. Although then at least
+eighty years old, she strapped him on her back as she went to her
+"tasses" (tasks) in the field. She named him Calvary Baker, and now
+he has become her dependence and support, although the light in her
+shadowed cabin comes from the ministrations of the teachers in
+Dorchester Academy; and as she put her old, gaunt, claw-like black
+fingers on the face of the delicate, refined academy teacher, Aunt
+Peggy said: "Oh, you're my Jesus mudder;" and then, turning to me,
+she said, while a smile lit up the old black face, "Oh, missus, I
+bress de Lord for the Jesus school, for if it had not been for these
+Jesus mudders, I reckon hunger would have carried me off."
+
+It is a wonderful work at McIntosh, as is true of all our schools.
+There are great lessons to be learned there. The student of the negro
+problem would do well to visit this section of the country with its
+historic interest, to note the influence of the old Midway Church,
+whose members were obliged to allow their slaves to attend church, so
+that at one time the black membership of this church was double the
+white; and to learn from a careful statistician that there is a less
+per cent. of crime and immorality, and a greater per cent. of
+full-blooded negroes here, under the influence of this old religious
+_regime_, than can be found in any like number of our colored
+population throughout the Black Belt, save where the Christian school
+has changed the life during this last generation.
+
+We are solving the negro problem in the only way possible, in the
+opinion of all statesmen, all publicists and all philanthropists, by
+the farm and the shop, and the school and the church, and over them
+all the Stars and Stripes. But we are doing more than this; we are
+setting the solitary in families; the wilderness and the solitary
+places are being made glad, and the desert is rejoicing and
+blossoming as the rose.

+
+COMMENCEMENT AT FISK UNIVERSITY, TENN.
+
+
+Fisk graduated classes of usual size. It deeply lamented the absence
+of President Cravath, who was ill in the East, and the late death of
+Prof. Spence. The Dean, J. G. Merrill, was deputed to preside at the
+varied functions of commencement week. The weather was unusually
+temperate, audiences very large.
+
+The largest college preparatory class in the history of the
+university was graduated. It catalogued thirty-nine. Ten States were
+represented on its list, and a larger number of young women than have
+ever entered Fisk before were made Freshmen.
+
+[Illustration: SENIOR CLASS, FISK UNIVERSITY.]
+
+Commencement week included a missionary sermon, which was delivered
+by Prof. Brown, of Vanderbilt University, upon "Paul the
+Missionary;" baccalaureate, by the Dean, whose theme was "Moses, the
+Leader of his People." To these were added three "graduating
+exercises." In the program were over thirty speakers--young men and
+women, not one of whom had a syllable of prompting. A graduate of
+Princeton University, spending the day in Nashville, after hearing
+the four "Commencement" orations, said that each one of them was
+superior in thought and delivery to the one that carried off the
+prize at Princeton less than ten days before. These young men and
+their classmates are to make their careers--three as physicians, two
+as pharmacists, two as teachers, one as a business man, the other as
+a lawyer. The young woman graduate received two diplomas, the second
+being in music, her industry and ability being evidenced in the fact
+that her long hours with the piano did not prevent her receiving high
+honors in the classroom. One of the men had walked fourteen miles
+each day, summer and winter, besides doing the "chores" morning and
+night; another has had a chair in a barber shop every evening; others
+have taught schools in vacation, been Pullman porters and waiters at
+summer resorts. One, whose two grandfathers were Frenchmen, born in
+France, before coming to college loaded the rifle and stood by his
+father, who shot down three men who came to his home to mob him. He
+himself, a very Hercules by name and in appearance, champion on the
+college gridiron, pleaded on the commencement stage most persuasively
+for "Universal Peace."
+
+Our commencement orator was Rev. H. E. Cobb, one of the pastors in
+the Reformed Collegiate Church of New York City. His address upon the
+"Open Door" disclosed to the young graduates their possibilities of
+success and failure, and captivated old and young.
+
+Fisk enters upon a new year with high hopes. Her Jubilee Singers,
+whose music added greatly to the enjoyment of the week, return North
+in the late summer to keep alive the enthusiasm awakened by their
+last season's successes, while the Faculty know the hour grows nearer
+and nearer when the endowment which God has in store for Fisk is to
+materialize, and they will know who are God's chosen servants to do
+for the Negro what has been so gloriously done for the white young
+people of America--furnishing them a chance to secure an education at
+an institution throughly equipped to provide the leaders of a tenth
+of our population, men and women sound in mind and soul.
+
+The Alumni had an enthusiastic meeting. They were addressed by Miss
+Nancy Jones, '86, who has served the A. B. C. F. M. in Africa, and by
+Dr. A. A. Wesley, '94, who spoke on "How to Overcome Prejudices,"
+who, as surgeon in an Illinois regiment in the Spanish War, won such
+distinction as to have been appointed to read a paper before the
+National Army Surgeons' Association in New York City the week before
+commencement.

+
+COMMENCEMENT AT TALLADEGA COLLEGE, ALABAMA.
+
+
+Coming away one afternoon from one of the exercises of commencement
+week at Talladega College, a prominent white citizen said in comment
+on a speech he had just heard: "There is a good deal of foolish talk
+about how much the Spanish-American war has done in bringing the
+North and South together; but the fact is, that schools like this, in
+which the Negro is taught to be law-abiding and to live a moral life,
+administered as this one is with such good sense and wisdom, are
+doing far more than any sentimental influences of the war to bring
+races and sections to mutual good understanding." On Sunday, at the
+big Chautauqua building, during the baccalaureate sermon, two white
+citizens were standing at the door watching the quiet, orderly
+audience of perhaps fifteen hundred colored people. One of them has
+not been distinguished for earnestness of desire to see the Negro
+educated. Said the other, "It looks like the niggers are coming up in
+spite of h--," to which the response, though possibly reluctant, was
+clearly affirmative.
+
+Those who have been toiling all the year long, unable to appreciate
+the work in its perspective, discouraged sometimes because results
+hoped for do not immediately appear, are cheered by such testimony to
+the efficiency and value of the work, even if it is not always given
+in elegant and reverent form. And there was other testimony of the
+same kind from all sorts and conditions of visitors. Expressions of
+pleasure and approval came constantly from alumni, from teachers in
+other schools, from citizens both white and black.
+
+Not as large a graduating class was sent out as usual, there being
+only nine in all--three young men from the college department, and
+six from the normal school, all young women but one. The parents of
+none of these students have graduated from Talladega. All of them
+were slaves, though most were so young at the time of emancipation as
+not to remember much of slavery days. The father of one of the
+college men, however, was, it is said, made by his master to run
+regularly before the bloodhounds to keep them in training. Sometimes
+it was hard running, and sometimes he had to take refuge in a tree to
+escape harm when the dogs had caught up with him. This young man, who
+carried off the A.B. degree, is planning to go to Yale for further
+study, and after a year or two to enter a Northern law-school.
+
+Another of the same department is in some ways an accomplished
+fellow. He has read widely and remembers what he has read; he plays
+the violin; he is an excellent pianist, and he is a member of the
+college male quartet, which is to spend the summer in the North,
+endeavoring to raise money for new buildings greatly needed at
+Talladega. After this summer campaign he also hopes to begin the
+study of law at Columbia or Harvard. The third young man of the
+college class expects to take for a year a principalship in the
+public schools of a neighboring city, and then enter upon the study
+of medicine.
+
+The young man who finished the normal course, being a good carpenter,
+has been for three years head of the college repair shop. For this
+summer he will return to a country school where he has taught for
+five consecutive summers, and in the fall hopes to enter a
+trade-school to perfect himself in carpentry and to learn what he can
+of architecture and building, purposing to devote himself to that
+line of work.
+
+It is a matter of congratulation to the school that so many
+students, after finishing some course here, are ambitious to pursue
+their studies further in the best institutions of the country.
+
+The young women who were graduated from the normal course are all to
+enter upon the work for which they have been trained, one or two
+already having positions in view in city schools, while the others
+will take up work in the country districts. It is not a large class,
+as has been said, but it is a good, earnest, ambitious class, in
+which there is large promise of solid usefulness.

+
+COMMENCEMENT AT STRAIGHT UNIVERSITY, LA.
+
+
+The exercises of commencement week began on the morning of Sunday,
+May 20th, with an interesting address to the Christian associations
+by Rev. A. S. Jackson, D.D., of Dallas, Texas.
+
+On the evening of the same day President Oscar Atwood delivered the
+Baccalaureate Address. The close attention which this address
+commanded showed how well chosen was its theme and interesting the
+presentation of its ideas.
+
+On Monday the Industrial and Grade work was exhibited. Specimens of
+practical work in wood done by the young men and boys in the shop,
+articles both useful and beautiful from the sewing-room, together
+with fine drawings and written exercises done by members of the
+different grades, made up this exhibit.
+
+The value of this branch of the university's work cannot be
+overestimated. The training given is of the most practical kind.
+Young men have been enabled, through the industrial education
+received at the university, to work at the carpenter's trade during
+their summer vacation, and thus earn the means necessary to take them
+through the following year of study. At the present time one
+enterprising young graduate, as a result of this very training, is
+putting up with his own hands the building which is to shelter the
+school he is founding in Southern Louisiana.
+
+In the sewing-room the young women and girls, besides acquiring a
+knowledge of mending and darning, learn to cut, fit and make all
+kinds of garments. Fancy work is taught them after they have learned
+the more useful kinds of sewing.
+
+Monday afternoon the Rev. Chas. R. Dinkins addressed the literary
+societies of the university, and on Monday evening one of the most
+interesting programs of the whole commencement season was
+presented--namely, the class-day program.
+
+It was in these exercises that the love of the graduating classes for
+their Alma Mater, and their appreciation of her faithful and
+efficient instruction found fullest expression. We have known of
+schools where class-day was made an occasion for ridiculing the
+Faculty, students and instruction of the institution. Not so at
+Straight; class-day there is one of the occasions when the delightful
+relations that have existed between teachers and students, and among
+the student body, are revealed.
+
+[Illustration: COLLEGE DEPARTMENT GRADUATING CLASS WITH PRESIDENT,
+STRAIGHT UNIVERSITY.]
+
+A short address by the President is followed by the class oration,
+well composed and ably delivered. Then we listen to an entertaining
+paper which gives us the history of the class. We review with the
+young historian its hardships and its triumphs, and conclude that,
+like all other classes whose history we have heard, it has had a
+remarkable career. The prophecy is a spicy bit of humor, and reflects
+much credit upon its writer, a dainty little miss, as bright and
+interesting a prophet as we shall meet in many a long day. A young
+man now steps forward upon the platform, of whose purpose in so doing
+we are not quite sure. The president of the class soon clears up our
+doubts, however, by requesting President Atwood to come forward. It
+is evident that this is a surprise to the head of the university. The
+young man makes a short speech of presentation and hands to the
+president a gift from the graduating classes. The singing of the
+class ode closes this part of the evening's exercises, and the
+college class now presents an excellent program consisting of an
+oration by the president, a history and a well-written poem.
+
+One cannot help remarking upon the dignity and good taste which
+characterized the exercises of Class-Day. We doubt whether any class
+in a Northern school could have made a better showing.
+
+[Illustration: COLLEGE PREPARATORY AND NORMAL GRADUATING CLASS,
+STRAIGHT UNIVERSITY.]
+
+On Tuesday afternoon the graduating exercises of the grammar
+department were held. On Wednesday evening, when the graduating
+classes received their diplomas, the other students received
+certificates of the work they had done.
+
+The alumni of Straight held their annual business meeting on Tuesday
+evening.
+
+The commencement exercises on Wednesday evening formed a fitting
+climax for a week so full of interest and inspiration. These
+exercises are held at Central Church because it can accommodate a
+much larger audience than the university chapel, and in the evening,
+because this hour permits many to be present who, on account of their
+work, could not attend commencement during the day.
+
+Long before the hour appointed for beginning the exercises, all the
+seats were filled and all the standing room in the church utilized,
+and the air was alive with whispers, low tones and the flutter of
+fans as the audience waited, with the best patience it could muster,
+for the opening numbers of the program. When President Atwood rose
+and announced the first number, all sounds ceased, and the great
+audience gave close attention to that and all the twenty-one
+succeeding numbers on the program.
+
+The program was one of which the university may be justly proud. The
+orations of the graduates from the college course on "The Mission of
+the Scholar," "Aims and Ideals," and "Does the Constitution Follow
+the Flag?" would have been considered exceptional in any of our
+Northern colleges, for their thought, expression and delivery. The
+three graduates from the theological department did credit to their
+teacher, Rev. G. W. Henderson, D.D., in their contribution to the
+program, and the sixteen students who were graduated from the normal
+and college preparatory courses likewise acquitted themselves with
+credit. The music of the program was furnished by the students, and
+consisted of piano solos and duets and choruses. The performers
+deserve much commendation. The presentation of diplomas formed an
+impressive close to the evening's program.
+
+To have seen these students is to believe in the work which the
+American Missionary Association is doing in the South, and to become
+a promoter of that work; it is to have faith in the ability of the
+negro to become a useful citizen; it is to catch a glimpse of the
+true solution of the negro problem, and to see that the satisfactory
+solution of that great question is being worked out, not by our
+legislators, but by devoted Christian men and women, like President
+Atwood and his corps of teachers, who are giving the best years of
+their lives to the service of the Master in the Southland.
+
+The graduating class is the largest in the history of the university,
+thirteen young men and twelve young women. Ten of these reside in New
+Orleans, and twelve are from different parts of Louisiana, North
+Carolina and Texas. Seven completed the college preparatory course,
+nine the normal, three the course in arts and three the theological.

+
+COMMENCEMENT AT TOUGALOO UNIVERSITY, MISS.
+
+
+Commencement at Tougaloo University this year was characterized by an
+unusual quietness and the absence of the great crowds which usually
+attend. For many weeks smallpox had been prevalent in the regions
+about, so much so, that it was necessary to practically quarantine
+the school against incomers. Since February, nearly all pupils had
+been refused in the boarding department, and from the middle of March
+the day pupils had been excluded almost wholly. It is worthy of
+note, however, that notwithstanding this, the enrollment of the year
+surpassed, by one hundred and more, that of the year previous. It did
+not seem wise to issue any general invitation to the Commencement
+Exercises, and so the public stayed away. A few invited guests came
+from Jackson, among them Governor Longino, Secretary of State Power,
+ex-Congressman Hooker, and some of the pastors of the city. These
+gentlemen made brief addresses, heartily commending the school's work
+and that for which it stands. The annual address on "Wealth," by Dr.
+Cornelius H. Patton, of St. Louis, made a very deep impression.
+
+Four students were graduated from the academy and normal course. Two
+of them, and possibly more, will take college work. Next year
+Tougaloo will, for the first time, have a full college course.
+Excellent work has been done in that department during the past year.
+It is interesting to note that one of the graduates represents the
+second generation at Tougaloo, her mother having been a student in
+the early days of the school. There are many such second generation
+students in the lower grades, and they distinctly show the effects of
+the influences to which their parents were subjected. All the
+graduates were country-bred.
+
+Those visitors to the school who had been familiar with it in the
+past years were specially interested in the outward changes visible.
+The new Beard Hall, commodious and pleasant, well furnished and
+convenient, and the new Refectory, with its dining-room capable of
+seating three hundred students; the Emergency Building, now
+transformed into a spacious building for the manual training in wood
+and industrial drawing; the new building for iron and steel forging
+and masonry; the old shop metamorphosed into a most satisfactory
+laundry, all were commented on as great additions to the material
+side of Tougaloo's life. In passing from building to building,
+attention was paid to the industrial features of the work. The
+exhibits of iron and steel tools made by the students, among them a
+machine for cutting iron, of great strength and excellent
+workmanship; of chairs, desks, tables, tabourets, etc.; of needlework
+from the beginning steps to completed garments; of cookery and of
+millinery, were deemed very satisfactory. Much of the work cannot be
+surpassed anywhere. Leading Mississippians are proud of Tougaloo and
+its work, and esteem it the best school of its class.
+
+Mention was more than once made of the fact that the new president of
+Alcorn College, the state institution for colored young men, which is
+now doing better work than for some years, and his accomplished wife,
+are graduates of Tougaloo. The teacher of iron and steel work there
+had his training in the Tougaloo shops.

+COMMENCEMENT AT GRANDVIEW INSTITUTE, TENN.
+
+
+The exercises of the Fifteenth Annual Commencement of the Grandview
+Normal Institute opened with the baccalaureate sermon by the
+principal, Sunday, April 29th, in the chapel.
+
+Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were occupied with examinations in all
+the grades and departments, which afforded abundant evidence of a
+year of faithful and fruitful work.
+
+On Thursday evening, May 3d, the public commencement was held in the
+assembly room of the school building, and was attended by a very
+large audience. The graduates were only three in number, two young
+women and one young man.
+
+Two of the graduates were genuine American Highlanders, and were
+residents of Grandview, the third came from Sequatchie Valley.
+
+The orations and essays were without exception creditable
+performances.
+
+One pleasing feature of the evening was the presentation by Rev. W.
+E. Rogers, County Superintendent, of State diplomas to twenty
+juniors.
+
+The perfect order which prevailed throughout the exercises was in
+striking contrast to former days when pistols and "moonshine" whiskey
+were most fearfully in evidence.
+
+Of the graduates, one of the young women will teach school the coming
+year, the young man will seek work somewhere for a year and hopes
+then to enter the State University at Knoxville and so fit himself
+for some useful calling in life. These graduates are earnest young
+Christians who will go out from their alma mater to reflect credit on
+the School and to do honor to those who have generously given of
+their means that the children of the people stranded on these
+mountains may "see a great light." The year just closed was the most
+prosperous one in the history of Grandview school. The enrollment was
+the largest the school had ever known and was considerably above two
+hundred.
+
+Next year, if the juniors all return, as is expected, the graduating
+class will number about twenty.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+COMMENCEMENT AT PLEASANT HILL ACADEMY, TENN.
+
+
+The graduating class of Pleasant Hill Academy numbered six--three
+girls and three boys--most of the number coming from the Highland Rim
+instead of from the mountains proper. There were four others in the
+class, one from Alabama, but ill-health and other causes reduced the
+number to six.
+
+Two or three will continue their work at the University of Tennessee,
+one at the University of Missouri, one at Peabody Normal, Nashville.
+All expect to teach, and one expects eventually to become a trained
+nurse and missionary.
+
+We have been interested in tracing their ancestry, which follows: one
+English, one Scotch-Irish, one Irish, one Scotch-Irish and Dutch, one
+English-Irish, one Scotch-Irish and French. In the class are
+Cumberland Presbyterian, Methodist South, Free Baptist, one Mormon
+and one of Unitarian preferences.
+
+One of the women is the wife of a blind preacher who is doing a good
+work in this region.
+
+Notwithstanding denominational preferences there has been unity of
+feeling and co-operation in Christian work. We feel from expression
+given that these young people will use their education for the
+betterment of those who look to them for leadership.

+FORT BERTHOLD INDIAN SCHOOL, N. D.
+
+
+[Illustration: CHILDREN'S COTTAGE AND CHAPEL, FT. BERTHOLD, N. D.]
+
+This school, as a whole, consists of a mixture of the three Indian
+tribes, the Mandan, Ree and Gros Ventre. The pupils come from homes
+scattered along either side of the Missouri River from Elbowoods to
+Berthold, a stretch of some twenty miles.
+
+[Illustration: GROUP OF PUPILS, FT. BERTHOLD, N. D.]
+
+When one becomes acquainted with the children after they have been at
+the school a year or two and considers the homes from which some of
+them come, he is almost inclined to wonder at the transforming power
+of Christian education. Most of these Indians have graduated from the
+old-time tepee. Their houses to-day are of logs plastered with mud.
+Sometimes they consist of one room, but frequently have two or three
+rooms. A three-roomed cottage usually consists of a central room with
+one outside door, and a room at each end connecting with the central
+room, but having no outside door. The roof is made of rafters, upon
+which poles are laid crosswise, and the whole covered several inches
+with earth. The floor is sometimes of lumber, but more generally of
+bare earth, which in very wet weather is apt to be turned into mud by
+the rain that drips through the ground-covered roof. In the larger
+houses two or three families often live, sometimes with two or three
+grandmothers or grandfathers, or both.
+
+The food being issued by the Government to them, each one has the
+same quantity and quality. They generally all eat together, the
+older ones sitting upon the floor, while the younger and more
+civilized eat from a table. Their dishes frequently correspond in
+quantity and quality with their advancement in civilization.
+
+In the work of the school the principal writes: "As far as possible I
+intend to have the pupils 'know, and know that they know,' what they
+have gone over. I find that many of them seem to appreciate this
+careful and accurate knowledge. They may not make as good a showing
+in a report, but the purpose of the school is to work for the
+children and not for public recognition."

+
+A TRIBUTE TO REV. A. J. F. BEHRENDS, D.D.
+
+SECRETARY C. C. CREEGAN.
+
+
+I first became acquainted with Dr. Behrends when he was in Cleveland,
+and had a profound respect for him as a man, as well as one of the
+ablest preachers of our time. When I came to Brooklyn several years
+ago I was led to unite with his church. I can therefore speak from a
+personal knowledge of twenty-five years.
+
+In the death of Dr. Behrends, who had served both as vice-president
+and member of the Executive Committee of the American Missionary
+Association, the Society, as well as the denomination of which he was
+one of the most conspicuous members, has suffered a great loss.
+Central Church, Brooklyn, where he ministered with distinguished
+success for seventeen years and where he was beloved by all, will
+feel the loss of this great and good man most keenly, but all the
+churches of his home city, where his voice was often heard and where
+his influence was so great, will mourn the departure of one of the
+greatest preachers of this generation.
+
+Born in Holland, in the home of an humble Lutheran preacher, he came
+to this country with his parents when five years of age. While
+teaching school in his seventeenth year, near Portsmouth, Ohio, he
+was converted by the preaching of an obscure Methodist minister and
+at once decided to fit himself for the work of the ministry. Largely
+by his own efforts he worked his way through Dennison University,
+Ohio, graduating in 1862 in a class of three, all of whom became
+prominent clergymen. Three years later he completed his theological
+studies at Rochester Theological Seminary at the head of his class
+and was called at once to the pastorate of a large Baptist Church in
+Yonkers, N. Y., where he remained eight years. He was then called to
+the First Baptist Church of Cleveland, Ohio, where he won great
+distinction as a platform orator.
+
+It was during this pastorate, which lasted only three years, that Dr.
+Behrends, after a great struggle, decided to resign from this strong
+church, where he was very popular, and enter another denomination.
+Six happy years were then spent in the Union Church of Providence,
+where he was recognized as one of the foremost preachers in the State
+and nation.
+
+Dr. Behrends was a great scholar. It is the belief of those who knew
+him well that he was able to fill any chair in any of our theological
+seminaries. His services were in frequent demand for courses of
+lectures in our leading colleges and seminaries, and at least two of
+these courses have been put into book form.
+
+While his services were often sought for on great occasions, such as
+the annual meetings of the A. M. A. and A. B. C. F. M., and similar
+gatherings, his best work was done in his own pulpit. His sermons
+were always prepared with the greatest care, and, except on rare
+occasions, were delivered without a note and with wonderful beauty of
+diction and irresistible logic to the audiences of two thousand
+cultured people who hung on his words every Sabbath and who regarded
+him, not without good reason, "the greatest preacher in America."
+
+The secret of the great success of Dr. Behrends as a preacher was not
+to be found in his striking personality, nor in his musical voice,
+nor his profound scholarship, but rather in his strong faith in the
+Bible as the Word of God, as his only creed, and that Christ Jesus,
+the divine Saviour, is to win the whole world to Himself. From this
+belief he never wavered, and to him the preaching of the gospel to
+men and seeing them come into the kingdom was the joy of his soul.

+RICHARD SALTER STORRS.
+
+CHARLES A. HULL, CHAIRMAN.
+
+
+I shall not attempt to repeat what has been so fully said by the
+religious and secular journals of the country in reference to the
+life and work of this great and good man, but I desire to say a few
+words in regard to his connection with the anti-slavery movement, and
+his interest in the work of the American Missionary Association. He
+was an original Abolitionist, and one of the most pronounced even in
+the early years of the agitation in his opposition to the wickedness
+of slavery, and in later years the cause of the elevation of the
+freedman had no stronger nor better friend than he.
+
+In an article written for the Fiftieth Anniversary Number of _The
+Independent_, of which he was one of the original editors, speaking
+of the conditions at the time _The Independent_ was founded, and the
+attitude of some of the societies toward slavery, Dr. Storrs added:
+"And repeated efforts to induce the American Board of Foreign
+Missions to take decisive anti-slavery ground, while carrying on its
+work among Cherokees and Choctaws and other slaveholding peoples,
+wholly failed of success--out of which failure came, however, the
+American Missionary Association, since so justly honored, and so
+widely and nobly useful."
+
+By spoken and by written word he contributed much to the cause of
+Christian education in the South and among the so-called dependent
+races.
+
+About ten years ago he preached a special sermon upon "Our Nation's
+Work for the Colored People," in which, speaking of the work of the
+Association, he said: "Now I affirm absolutely that if there ever was
+a work of God on earth, this is His work! If there was ever anything
+to which the American Christian people were called, they are called
+to this. If there was ever a great opportunity before the Christian
+Church, here it is; not to reach those people merely for their own
+immediate welfare; not to save our own national life merely; but to
+Christianize that immense continent which lies opposite to us on the
+map, which we have wronged so long with the slave-trade and with rum,
+and to which now we can, if we will, send multitudes of messengers to
+testify of the glory of the grace of God."
+
+I wish in closing to say a few words of Dr. Storrs as a friend.
+Through many years he was not only my pastor but the most honored and
+beloved friend of my life. His sense of humor was keen, and his
+playfulness of manner constituted not the least of his charms to
+those who knew him intimately. He never seemed to take a narrow view
+of any subject, but was always lenient to and tolerant of those whose
+opinions differed from his own, and yet strong and vigorous in his
+own convictions. His loss to those closely associated with him in
+personal and Church relations is one which can never be filled. He
+was extremely modest in his estimate of himself and his efforts, and
+simple-minded to a wonderful degree for a man of such supreme power
+and influence. He never shirked what appeared to him a duty, and one
+of the pleasantest recollections of my life is of a journey made by
+him, at considerable personal inconvenience, only about a year ago,
+to visit a former parishioner who had not seen him for years, and who
+in his old age and feebleness desired to talk with him. His visit
+brought sunshine and mental and spiritual comfort, and will ever be
+gratefully remembered by those to whom he ministered.
+
+In grandeur of thought, in nobility of utterance, and in his
+wonderful personality, he was unique, and his death has left in the
+American pulpit a void which we cannot expect to see filled.

+PROFESSOR A. K. SPENCE.
+
+
+Rev. Adam K. Spence, for twenty-five years a professor in Fisk
+University, died in Nashville, Tenn., April 24, 1900. He was born in
+Aberdeenshire, Scotland, in 1831. His parents removed to this country
+in his early childhood. He studied in Oberlin and Ann Arbor,
+graduating at the last named institution, where he taught for a time
+after graduation.
+
+In 1870 he was appointed by the American Missionary Association as
+the principal of the school which afterward became Fisk University.
+Since then scores of young people have gone forth each year from this
+institution bearing the signate of Christian culture, and their
+widespread influence is telling upon the South. Prof. Spence laid the
+foundations of the Greek department in this university.
+
+His love for music and appreciation of its finest effects amounted
+almost to a passion. He helped give the university a high standard of
+music, which has rendered it unique in Southern schools. Especially
+was he an advocate of jubilee music, and did much to gather these
+songs of quaint power and value into the archives of the university.
+His great interest was in the spiritual development of the students.
+Many revivals, resulting in the conversion of large numbers, were
+greatly promoted by his prayer and earnest efforts. Prof. Spence was
+always present at the prayer meeting when it was possible for him to
+attend, and his influence was profoundly felt.
+
+At the funeral, when the people passed to take a last look at the
+familiar face, old men and women who had known him as their friend
+during all these years, students and little children gazed lovingly
+upon him. A large body of students went directly from Jubilee Hall to
+Mount Olivet, where his body was laid to rest.

+REV. W. S. ALEXANDER, D.D.
+
+
+The death of Dr. Alexander removes one who, in other years, occupied
+an important position in the mission service of this Association. Dr.
+Alexander was president of Straight University during a difficult and
+important period. He made his impression upon the institution,
+developing the work internally both intensively and extensively. He
+was an earnest student and encouraged scholarship among the students.
+His large influence was felt among the churches of lower Louisiana.
+He became something of a bishop in the Congregational work in that
+state. His judgment was wise and wholesome and his counsel always
+helpful. His name is held in esteem, almost in reverence, by many of
+the colored people of that region even to this day.
+
+Dr. Alexander was born in East Killingly, Conn., August 29, 1835. He
+was a graduate of Yale College and Andover Theological Seminary. He
+held important pastorates in Connecticut and Wisconsin prior to the
+war. He served under the Christian Commission with the Army of the
+Potomac. He went abroad in 1872 and took charge of twelve free
+churches in Italy. Returning from that country, he accomplished
+fruitful missionary service in the South. In 1886, he became pastor
+of the North Avenue Congregational Church, in Cambridge, Mass., and
+served in this capacity until 1890. Since retiring from active
+pastoral duties he has ministered to churches in various cities, most
+acceptably to the people and with fruitful results.

+PORTO RICO NOTES.
+
+CHARLES B. SCOTT, SANTURCE, PORTO RICO.
+
+
+[Sidenote: Educational Notes.]
+
+Of the 950,000 inhabitants of Porto Rico, only about 100,000 can read
+or write; 85 per cent. of the adult population are illiterate. Of the
+200,000 children from five to sixteen years of age, all the schools,
+public and private, can accommodate about thirty thousand. The
+average daily attendance in all the schools of the island during the
+past year has been not more than twenty to twenty-five thousand.
+
+The school population (five to sixteen years of age) of San Juan is
+about 6,000. The total seating capacity of all schools in the
+capital, public and private, is not more than fifteen hundred.
+
+There have been during the past year in the public schools of San
+Juan nine or ten American teachers; forty more American teachers are
+scattered through the public schools of the island. About twenty are
+gentlemen acting as supervisors of districts and superintendents of
+city schools.
+
+
+[Sidenote: Christian Schools.]
+
+The American Missionary Association of the Congregational Churches
+has had during the past school year seven American teachers in Porto
+Rico, divided between Santurce, a suburb of San Juan, and Lares. The
+Presbyterians have had four American missionary teachers at Mayaguez.
+The Baptist Church has two American ladies devoting part of their
+time to teaching. The Christian Church has a school at San Juan, with
+three teachers from the states.
+
+Porto Rico is divided for educational purposes into fifteen
+districts, each with an American supervisor in charge of from thirty
+to forty schools. These gentlemen must ride hundreds of miles,
+largely on native ponies, over poor roads and poorer mountain trails,
+inspecting the schools and helping, directing and often stirring up
+the native teachers.
+
+The schools of the American Missionary Association have enrolled over
+three hundred children. At Lares the pupils have been very regular in
+attendance. In Santurce the attendance has been somewhat irregular.
+In both schools the subjects pursued in American schools in the first
+five grades have been taken up, with much attention to English. The
+fact that very few children knew any English, and that most of the
+teachers knew very little Spanish, made the work trying and slow at
+first. The children proved themselves about as bright as American
+children, quick in their perceptions, with good memories, weak in
+arithmetic, not good thinkers or reasoners.
+
+Rarely do American teachers in the States receive so many little
+tokens of esteem and appreciation. On the other hand, the pupils are
+quick-tempered, with little power of self control; rather easily
+offended, and lack in perseverance and stability. They have little
+idea of attention and little power to study. They are anxious to come
+to school, and will sacrifice much to get clothes and pay tuition. On
+the other hand, they will often stay at home for trivial reasons,
+having no idea of the need of regular attendance. They always come to
+school well dressed and usually clean; they will not come barefooted,
+ragged or dirty. The children of the poorer classes roam the streets,
+before and after school, barefooted and ragged, saving their clothes
+and shoes for school.
+
+The Christian schools, such as those of the American Missionary
+Association, do not exist merely to supplement the public schools.
+From the conditions in Porto Rico the public schools must be entirely
+and utterly non-religious. Not even religious songs or the Lord's
+Prayer are allowed. Any teacher discovered teaching any phase of
+religion forfeits his or her salary for that month.
+
+
+[Sidenote: Bible Study.]
+
+In the Christian schools, while the carefully-selected American
+teachers insure good schools and good teaching of the ordinary
+branches, there is a place for moral education, for simple religious
+exercises and for Bible study.
+
+
+[Sidenote: Rural Education.]
+
+The great problem in Porto Rico will be rural education. Probably
+800,000 of its 950,000 people live in the country or in hamlets. The
+cities are already providing for teachers' training-schools. The
+field of greatest usefulness for the A. M. A. lies in giving the
+young men and women a fair education under Christian influences, and
+sending them out into the country and village schools.
+
+The people of Lares are deeply interested in the school and willing
+to help the work; the location is as healthful as any in the island,
+and Lares, as a great coffee center, promises to thrive and grow.
+
+The education most needed in Porto Rico is practical, industrial
+education. Santurce, near the capital, with a large, poor population
+about the school, dependent on their daily work for their support,
+furnishes an excellent location for an industrial school. The people
+and children do not know how to do anything. The women are
+"lavenderas," or washwomen, the children carry water, the men do odd
+jobs, and all are poorly housed, poorly clothed, poorly fed. The
+children need manual training, and gardening for the boys and sewing
+and cooking for the girls. Next year it is proposed to start these
+lines of work at Santurce. Head and hand and heart can be reached and
+trained for a better and more useful Christian life.

+
+LOSS OF SUPPLIES FOR ALASKA.
+
+
+Our missionaries at Cape Prince of Wales, Mr. and Mrs. Lopp, sent us
+in the spring their request for supplies of provisions and other
+necessities for the coming year. This request was immediately
+fulfilled by purchases in San Francisco, and the supplies were duly
+sent out in the bark "Alaska."
+
+We have received intelligence from Dr. Jackson, at Nome, that the
+bark "Alaska" was driven ashore and wrecked in the surf on Wednesday,
+June 6th. In this letter Dr. Jackson mentions that the wrecked ship
+contained a cabinet organ for the Prince of Wales mission, which was
+ruined, and that the ship also brought up a turkey from San Francisco
+for Mr. Lopp's Thanksgiving dinner.
+
+The next day Dr. Jackson wrote us a brief note, saying: "The bark
+Alaska that went ashore on Wednesday went to pieces in the storm
+yesterday, and the supplies for the station at Cape Prince of Wales
+are a total loss, even to the Thanksgiving turkey, which was
+drowned." He added that he hoped to meet Mr. Lopp sometime next week.
+
+The destruction of these supplies renders it necessary to send others
+at once. The faithful missionaries at this important station must not
+suffer. The friends of our Alaska mission who have so generously
+contributed to its support will not forget this additional financial

+STATE AND CITY ORGANIZATION.
+
+BY SECRETARY J. E. ROY.
+
+
+The Association Building (Y. M. C. A.), in Chicago, furnishes offices
+for several of the National Missionary Societies, among them the
+American Missionary Association. In addition to these we have the
+depository and reception-room of the United Society of Christian
+Endeavor, which is also used as the headquarters of the Illinois and
+Chicago Union. Here the state board holds its weekly session. Here is
+kept the supply of Christian Endeavor literature for the varied needs
+of the Christian Endeavor workers, helps for missionary and
+temperance and good citizenship meetings, with an array of programs.
+Among all Endeavorers, as among all missionary society workers, the
+hunger for programs is great indeed. Blessed be the man or woman who
+has the genius for preparing such stimulating outlines of study.
+
+In this city there are two hundred and fifty Christian Endeavor
+Societies. In fifteen societies in the South Division of the city the
+sum of $791.28 has been given to missionary work since January 1st,
+of which $588.43 went to foreign missions, $61.54 to home missions
+and $141.40 to city missions.
+
+[Illustration: HEADQUARTERS Y. P. S. C. E. UNION, CHICAGO, ILL.]
+
+Nine societies of Evanston in the last year have given $688.55 to
+missions--$255 to foreign, $59 to home and $374 to city missions. All
+have given something to the famine sufferers in India. Some of the
+societies visit hospitals and take flowers to the sick; one society
+visits a crippled lady once a week and holds a little prayer-meeting
+with her. The First Congregational Society has given $290 to the
+Chicago Commons.
+
+A member of one Chicago society, a business man who is a great
+Christian Endeavor worker, has a library of over sixty volumes on
+missionary subjects which he is loaning all the time. Our Pilgrim
+Church has a society which publishes its own paper, _The Pilgrim's
+Progress_, that serves all the purposes of the church in its several
+departments.
+
+
+[Sidenote: The Chicago Chinese Endeavor.]
+
+The Chinese school in Dr. Goodwin's church, the First, has its
+Christian Endeavor Society. It is conducted mainly by the Chinese in
+their native language. They sing our gospel songs in Chinese and are
+earnest in the study of the Bible, pursuing the customary order of
+worship and of work. The school was started in 1884, with 32 pupils
+and 20 teachers. The number soon came up to 80. Then, as other
+schools were started, this number was diminished, but from the first
+the work has been a success. In 1897, a Monday night school was
+started and it is flourishing yet. As many as forty from this school
+have publicly professed Christ. Four united with the church in the
+last year. Four have been for several years in missionary work in
+China, one of them, Chan Sui Chung, as assistant of Rev. Dr. C. R.
+Hager, M.D., has charge of a chapel in the village of Hoi Yin, and
+Dr. Hager reports him quite helpful in preparing native evangelists,
+and says that God has greatly blessed his labors. Chan Sui Chung had
+over fifty baptisms in his mission in 1899. They soon catch the
+benevolent spirit of the Gospel. Last year the members of this school
+gave $50 for mission work in California, $60 for aid in building a
+house of worship near their families in China, and one of them, from
+his own earnings, gave $500 for mission work in his own land.
+
+Rev. J. A. Mack, who has been for many years secretary of the Chicago
+Bible Society, and who is the volunteer superintendent of this
+Sunday-school, is just now out in our _Times-Herald_ with an article
+from which I get these statistics. He also says there are some 2,000
+Chinese in this city and for them ten Chinese mission schools--the
+number of pupils depending upon the number of Chicago Christians who
+are ready to teach them.
+
+
+[Sidenote: A Live Endeavor Church.]
+
+[Illustration: SECOND CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH, OAK PARK, ILL.]
+
+It is the Second Congregational Church of Oak Park, Dr. Sydney
+Strong, pastor. Its Christian Endeavor Society, besides paying $25 a
+year for the support of a young lady student in Dakota, and a like
+amount for a young girl student in a colored school at the South, has
+subscribed and is now paying the sum of $500 toward the erection of
+their magnificent meeting-house, which was dedicated only this last
+spring. A class in the Sunday-school of that church also subscribed a
+thousand dollars toward their church edifice and is paying it
+promptly. The capacity of this building was tested during the
+meetings of the General Association of Illinois, and it was found
+capable of seating a thousand people in its auditorium, and of
+feeding six hundred people at the first tables in its dining room on
+occasion of the banquet given by the City Congregational Club to the
+members of the General Association of the state. That club had made
+the American Missionary Association its guest along with the General
+Association, and so brought upon its platform as speakers, Secretary
+C. J. Ryder, D.D., Mrs. I. V. Woodbury, of Boston, Field Missionary
+Rev. G. W. Moore, and Rev. Mary C. Collins of the Dakota Mission. The
+Jubilee Singers discoursed their delicious music through that
+session, as also through those of the state body, and filled our city
+and its surroundings with the sincerest praise of their spiritually
+elevating service in song. The exploiting of the American Missionary
+Association thus by the club was a spontaneous and immensely hearty
+commendation of its mission and its work.

+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+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-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm 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-tm 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-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm 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-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain 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-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm 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-tm 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-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside 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-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm 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 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
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (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-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm 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-tm 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-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+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-tm 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-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (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-tm
+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-tm 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-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm 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-tm
+     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-tm 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-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the

+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm 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

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm 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-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm 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-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 4.  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.
