But these figures do not tell the whole story. The +$40,000 debt to which we have made frequent reference hitherto is +still pending. To this must be added the $13,000 debt that came over +from last year. + +Only two working months are left. Our fiscal year ends with +September. From month to month we have published the figures. Our +friends have been able to trace for themselves just how the financial +struggle has been maintained. Donations from churches and +individuals have been kept distinct from legacies, and comparison +made with receipts of the corresponding months in the preceding year. +A varying story the figures have had to tell. + +There is a slave hymn: + + "I'm sometimes up and I'm sometimes down, + But still my soul is heavenly bound." + +That has been the case with our feelings as we have followed the rise +and fall in the comparisons. But amid all the fluctuations we have +had an abiding confidence that before the year ends there will be +such a rally by our friends that we shall come out free of debt. Are +we to be disappointed? We are approaching the time for decisive +thought and action. We cannot delay much longer. The figures this +month not only show that in the total we are a little behind, but +they also indicate that our reliance for relief must be in the living +and not in the dead. We have no large legacies that are available in +sight, and we have no reserve fund on which to draw to avert +disaster. Can the threatening deficit be averted? Can our friends +meet the demand? Yes, and much more. All that is needed is the will +to do; the ability exists. + +We appeal to the wealthy to take this matter upon their hearts and +minds at once. We beg them to send on, as soon as possible, generous +donations to our treasury. Their example at this time will be most +inspiring. + +We ask all our friends to do what they can. "The two mites" that in +the Lord's mode of estimating count more than many of the larger +gifts, we cannot possibly do without. The little rills and the small +streams must make their contributions, or the broad and deep river on +which we are to float and be saved will not form. + +Especially do we plead that _every_ Congregational church in the +country, large and small, without exception, will see to it that +before the end of next September it shall be on record as having +taken a contribution within the year for the American Missionary +Association. Pastors, deacons, church clerks and church treasurers, +will you not, for the sake of this endangered cause, for the sake of +the millions of Christ's poor for whom we labor, give us the help of +your influence to secure this? We believe you will. + + * * * * * + +The Thirty-ninth Annual Meeting of the American Missionary +Association will be held in Madison, Wisconsin, October 27-29. The +sermon will be preached by the Rev. Reuen Thomas, D. D., Brookline, +Mass. We hope to see the East well represented at this meeting, and +trust that as many of our friends as possible will make their plans +to be there. The brethren in the West will be glad to welcome them. +Additional notices will appear hereafter. + + * * * * * + +FAREWELL AND GREETING. + + +We regret to announce that Professor Salisbury, who for the past +three years has been Superintendent of our school work, this month +severs his connection officially with the A. M. A. He goes to take +charge of the State Normal School at Whitewater, Wis. This is the +school in which we found him as a professor, when we called him to +our ranks, and now we are called to give him up that he may go back +to stand at its head. We can ill afford to spare him. He is not only +a master in his knowledge of everything connected with schools, in +respect to organization, discipline and best methods of teaching, but +he is also a man of remarkable executive ability. + +When he entered our work he certainly came into the kingdom for a day +that had been providentially prepared. The work had taken on massive +proportions. All over the South our schools had been planted. These +schools were branches of the same tree; they had a common trunk and +drew their life and spirit from the same soil. But, separated so far +from one another, as many of them were, there came to be a felt +necessity that some one competent to care for their common interests, +while recognizing at the same time their separate prerogatives and +rights, must be found. Multiplied variety necessarily had +characterized their development, and as a consequence, the unity of +their origin and aim had been endangered. That is a law of nature. We +had been brought to see and feel this. We looked around to find the +man equal to the task involved. It was not easy to find him. We +realized the difficulty. Our workers realized it. It would not have +been strange if we had made a mistake. A rare combination of +qualifications was demanded. We believed that Professor Salisbury +possessed these qualifications. We invited him to take up the work. +He accepted. He entered, and continued in it down to the last moment +he held the office, with all his heart and soul, and now that he has +felt constrained to leave us we are glad, not only on his account, +but also on our own, unreservedly to bear testimony that, we believe, +no mistake was made when he was appointed. + +He has rendered the American Missionary Association signal service, +and when we remember how intimately the work of this Association is +connected with the welfare of the nation, it is not too much to say +that he has in these three years of hard and faithful work rendered +signal service to the whole land. Our school work has steadily grown +in efficiency and power ever since he took it up, and the general +cause of education all over the South has been benefited by the +impulse his teaching, character and devotion have inspired. Not alone +the colored schools, but the white schools as well, have been the +gainers. By his lectures and instruction given in Normal Institutes, +and by his personal contact with the leading educators of the South, +he has brought in no small degree a knowledge of the most approved +methods of teaching to the attention of Southern educators, and has +done much to develop a sentiment in favor of popular education among +the people. + +It is a high compliment to his ability the State of Wisconsin pays in +calling him back and investing him with the principalship of the same +school from which we took him; and, as we reluctantly return him, we +can wish for him no greater blessing than that the same success may +attend his labors in the field to which he goes that, with God's +favor, has so abundantly crowned him in the one he leaves. + + * * * * * + +"The king is dead; long live the king." We have just been speeding +the parting guest. We now turn to welcome the coming. That we have +done the "speeding" reluctantly does not abate the heartiness with +which we now do the "welcoming." To such an extent had our church +work been systematized under Superintendent Roy, and our school work +under Superintendent Salisbury, that when we had to transfer the one +to the Western District Secretaryship, and had to lose the other, we +felt that the two positions might possibly be merged. The very +success of these workers had made this practicable. Not that the work +of the two could be done by any one man. They are not that kind of +men, as our constituents well know. They are both of them drivers. It +is almost enough to discourage any ordinary man to see either of them +work. A hard position to fill surely. We are glad to say that after a +good deal of searching we believe we have found the man. + +We have appointed Rev. C. J. Ryder, of Medina, Ohio, as our Field +Superintendent. He accepts the appointment and will take up the work +the first of September. He will be located at Cincinnati, from which +point, by reason of its central location and excellent railroad +facilities, he will be able to reach out in all directions. A +successful pastor--an able preacher, having had experience and +success as a teacher, and in addition possessing already considerable +knowledge of our work, he will enter the field with the opinions of +all those who know him best united that he will make it a success. We +welcome him to the ranks of our fellowship in the glorious cause of +bringing the light of the gospel and Christian education to the poor; +we welcome him to the rich joy the expressions of their heart-felt +gratitude will cause him to experience. We welcome him to the love +and confidence and co-operation of our missionaries whose hearts will +be made glad by his visits and whose toil will be made lighter by his +counsel; above all we welcome him to the rewards God bestows upon +those who are ready, if need be, to surrender everything that they +may follow Christ. + + * * * * * + +HIGHER EDUCATION OF THE NEGRO. + +REV. W. W. PATTON, D. D. + + +Many strangely adopt this wrong principle with regard to the negro +race--that they are to be treated not simply as men, but as colored +men, as members of a peculiar and inferior race, about whom one must +not reason as he would about others, and especially about white men. +One writer thinks that his eyes have just been opened to the truth, +for he says: "Like most Northern men, I have made the mistake of +judging the black by the standard of the white. A freer intercourse +with him and a closer study of his characteristics have shown me that +he is not to be so judged, and that the training adapted to the white +man is not adapted to the black." In any reasonable sense of these +words, we regard them as involving the same error which so long +hindered emancipation--the idea that negroes could not be expected to +act as would other men in the same circumstances. It used to be +argued that freed negroes would refuse to labor, and would simply +plunder and massacre. The history of the last twenty years, and the +enormous crops raised at the South since the war, have disproved this +absurdity, although the writer quoted still has his doubts, for he +says of the negro: "We must take him as he is; and because we have +not done this, his freedom, which has been of inestimable value to +the Southern white man, has until now been a most questionable +blessing to the negro!" One who can utter that doubt has some defect +of vision, which disqualifies him from reaching safe conclusions +respecting the colored race. Now, every race has certain +peculiarities, and so has every nation, and to these we have a degree +of regard in our intercourse with them. In minor matters, we +remember, in our dealings, that this man is a Scotchman, and that man +a Welshman, and that a Frenchman, and that a German. But in great +questions of principle and method touching humanity, such as +education and religion, we drop race and nation, and act upon simple +manhood. If we do not, we are sure to err. The true idea in the case +before us is, not to think perpetually of the black skin and the +African blood, but of the man, and to use with the negro precisely +the measures which should be used with white men in the same +circumstances of ignorance and poverty, and with the same +responsibilities as citizens. And it is singular that objectors to +our work do not seem to be aware that the precise difficulty which +they emphasize respecting the black masses at the South has been +equally emphasized by others respecting the white masses at the +North. The complaint everywhere heard in the Northern States is, that +the common people are being so highly educated as to become +dissatisfied with labor. The young men and young women refuse to work +at manual industries, and take to trade and the professions, or else +become dissipated idlers. Hence attempts are making to attach +industrial education to our common schools. Why, then, talk of the +peculiarities of the negro in this matter? There are none. He simply +shares in the temptations which beset all races, and we must reason +accordingly, and plan alike for the masses of the people, black and +white. + +One should avoid extreme and disproportionate statements and +implications. The same writer runs a tilt against all education for +the negro above the most rudimental, and says: "I have failed to see +one who has been made a better man or a better citizen by this higher +education; on the contrary, I know of very many who have been morally +and socially ruined by it." We are sorry that his acquaintance has +been so unfortunate with this class. Others have had the happiness to +know scores and hundreds of well-educated colored people who are +doing great credit to their race as ministers, physicians, editors, +lawyers, teachers and authors. To one of these, a graduate of a +theological institution, aided by this Association, the District +Attorney in the part of Virginia where he now lives, recently +addressed a letter of thanks for his having wrought a moral +revolution in that county, saying: "Your boldness in condemning the +wrong and asserting and approving the right has not only impressed +the colored, and influenced their conduct in the right direction, but +it has at the same time won for you the confidence and esteem of all +the thinking portion of the white race, who are interested in good +government and a well-ordered and law-abiding community ... for which +this community ought to be profoundly grateful." And this man is also +"ebon black." And here we would correct the impression that a large +disproportion of the negroes are receiving "a higher education." The +idea is given out that a great mistake has been made by the societies +and philanthropists that are seeking the elevation of the freedmen. +It would relieve the quite unnecessary alarm of objectors if they +would consult the United States census for the statistics of the +negro population, and then compare with its six millions of colored +people the few thousands of them found in the colleges, academies, +high schools, theological seminaries, medical and law schools of the +land. Probably not more than one negro in a thousand is receiving +anything beyond the very simplest instruction. Surely, then, no great +harm can yet have been done, or is likely to be done, for many years +to come. And yet, long before the objectors had spoken, these same +educators had begun to add industrial training to book learning, and +they are now pushing this branch as fast as the pecuniary means are +furnished. + +Nor should we overlook the vast and pressing necessities to which the +higher education stands related. There is a loud and general call for +_competent_ colored teachers, instead of there being such a surplus +as the aforementioned writer found when he says, "There was only one +vacancy where there were fifty teachers." A remarkably favored +locality! The superintendents of Southern schools tell a very +different story. Not long since, the Rev. Dr. Haygood, of Georgia, +in an article in the _Independent_, called for fifty thousand colored +physicians, to be furnished as speedily as possible. And who can +exaggerate the need of educated colored ministers to take the place +of the old ignorant preachers? And how is any race to rise without +intelligent leaders of their own in every locality? These will +naturally be found in their men of education and property, in their +ministers, physicians, lawyers, editors, teachers and political +representatives. It is idle and wrong to repress or ignore the +ambition of negroes of talent to be something more than laborers and +servants, bootblacks and whitewashers. They must have the chance that +others have, in proportion to their numbers; no more, no less. And +all these rising colored men must have correspondingly intelligent +wives, for their comfort and improvement and for the training of +their children. To meet such wants the existing schools of high grade +will all be needed and should all be liberally endowed. + + * * * * * + +OPINIONS. + + +The American Missionary Association and those allied to it have been +the chief agency at the South, so far as benevolent effort is +concerned, in diffusing right notions of religion, and in carrying +education to the darkened mind of the negro.--_Hon. J. L. M. Curry._ + + * * * * * + +Of all the questions which disturb the mental equanimity of the +patriotic and thinking citizen of our Republic, none is looming in +his horizon with a more lurid and portentous aspect than the black +cloud of illiteracy which is rapidly spreading over the country, and +especially resting upon the Southern States of the Union. Compared +with it as an element of vital danger to the Republic, Mormonism, +Communism and Socialism sink into obscurity. The only way out of the +unfortunate dilemma or of ameliorating the condition in which the +country is placed by the thrusting upon it of this mass of ignorance, +is by education--an education both mental and moral.--_George R. +Stetson._ + + * * * * * + +The real tests of Northern zeal and liberality, of Northern faith and +patience in the work of educating the negro, are yet to come. At the +first, Christian zeal was mightily stimulated by the patriotic +fervors of a great war for the preservation of the Union. In most +minds the course of events identified the preservation of the Union +and the abolition of slavery. The tremendous moral and political +forces that were at work during the war, and for many years after its +close, all conspired to make such an appeal to the thought, sentiment +and conscience of the church in the North as was perhaps never before +made for any form of Christian philanthropy. Christian men and women +were filled with pity for the poor negroes, and there was a movement +of "men and money" for their education that was never before seen in +this, or perhaps any other, country. The effort was stupendous, and +the results are amazing. + +But the conditions that obtained from 1865 to 1875 will obtain no +more. The enthusiasms peculiar to that period pass away with the +coming of a new generation. The work must go on now as the foreign +missionary movement of Christendom goes on--by the force that is born +of a fixed conviction and an unquestioning faith in God's purpose to +save the world and in His plan of saving it. + +It is saddening, it is not surprising, to know that some noble men +and women teaching in negro schools in the South are discouraged. +This is natural, but nevertheless perilous, as well as distressing. +One teacher, long in the service, speaks thus: "Some are much +discouraged; we have expected by this time to see results more +permanent in the negro character; we thought it would be somewhat as +we have seen it in our Western colleges after a few years." + +Such a basis of comparison is very unjust to the negro and very +hurtful to his teacher. We must not forget heredity; we must compare +the negro as to education in schools in 1884 with 1864. The white man +has behind him a thousand years of the influences that enter into our +best education. Yet how much he has to learn! How much easier for +white pupils to learn books than virtue--how much easier to acquire +knowledge than wisdom! Let us have patience with each other. Let us +also settle down to steady work, steady giving and constant praying. +This is a work for the next hundred years--and more.--_The Advance._ + + * * * * * + +The feeling is too prevalent, even among Christians, that "the only +good Indian is a dead Indian." If parents would put into the hands +of their children reports of our missionaries, so they could see +what is being done for the Indians, instead of letting them get +their opinions of the Indian race from newspaper articles and from +books of Indian wars, in which the rifle and scalping knife were +the only arguments used, much prejudice would be removed and the +missions among Indians would be better sustained. Further, if +parents themselves would take the above advice, it would be time +and money well spent, as some grown-up children might learn as +well.--_Correspondent in St. Louis Evangelist._ + + * * * * * + +Bishop H. M. Turner, of the M. E. Church South, is said to be the +first colored man who has ever received the degrees of D. D. and LL. D. +He educated himself at night among the cotton fields of South +Carolina, and was the first colored chaplain in the United States +Army. + + * * * * * + +It is said by the _Journal of Education_ that the colored people of +the country now edit over 100 newspapers, teach 18,000 public schools +with 900,000 pupils, raise annually 150,000,000 bushels of cereals +and 2,700,000,000 pounds of cotton. + + * * * * * + +THE CONGREGATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF CHRISTIAN CHINESE. + +Out of our missions in California has sprung the Congregational +Association of Christian Chinese. What is its object? "Mutual watch +and care; arrangement for special seasons of worship in connection +with the missions, the appointment of brethren to preach at stated +times and places, and a certain measure of mutual aid and relief." A +grand object, surely. The Central Association, with three branches, +is in San Francisco. In other parts of the State there are nine +branches. The total membership is 378. Jee Gam, whom many of our +readers will remember in connection with his visit East four years +ago, is the Secretary. + + * * * * * + +The new catalogue of Straight University, by an error of the printer, +is made to say that the first building on Esplanade street was +erected and destroyed in 1870. This strikes out seven of the most +important years of the University's history. The date of destruction +should have been 1877. As many of our friends in visiting the +International Exposition at New Orleans took occasion to visit +Straight University, and may have received catalogues of the same, we +deem it proper to call attention to this mistake. + + * * * * * + +THE SOUTH. + + * * * * * + +BEREA COLLEGE, KY. + + +The Berea College Commencement was held June 17-24. There was present +a number of distinguished men from abroad, among whom may be +mentioned Roswell Smith, of the _Century Magazine_, New York; Geo. W. +Cable, the well-known author; Rev. Washington Gladden, D. D., Rev. +Robert West, of the Chicago _Advance_; Hon. Cassius M. Clay, and +Judge Beckner, of Kentucky. Roswell Smith made a gift of $5,000 to +the institution. We make the following extract from the baccalaureate +sermon of Prof. Wright, in which he ably discusses the question of +caste: + +"However long this state of things may continue, do not despairingly +conclude that it is never to be broken down. The stars in their +courses fight against injustice and folly. The very stones of the +field are in league with those who are on the side of equity and +fairness. Any region, small or large, that persists in a separation +of races in its hotels, railroads, schools and churches, dooms itself +to an inferior rank in all the departments of its life--in its +business as effectively as in its intelligence and its piety. + +"It costs more to keep up two sets of hotels than one. It costs more +to build railroad stations with separate waiting-rooms for two races +than to build them with accommodations for ladies and gentlemen +without regard to race. It costs more to run trains, if separate +passenger cars must be provided for two races on every train. This +cost will delay the building of railroads in the first place, and +this can only be met by higher rates of fare, which will impede +business progress. + +"It costs more to maintain a double system of public schools than to +provide for all the children under a single system. This increases +taxes, while at the same time the schools cannot be as efficient, and +this diminishes intelligence. For in scattered farming communities, +the districts must be so large under the double system that many +families are out of reach of the school. And the number of towns that +can have graded schools is greatly reduced by the requirement that no +school shall receive pupils of more than one race. Normal schools are +also made more difficult to maintain, and teachers' institutes +rendered less efficient. A lower average of intelligence is as +inevitable under such adverse conditions in the educational machinery +of a State, as slower speed in a racehorse is inevitable when he +carries heavy weight. + +"Similar things may be said of churches. Any community that insists +on separate churches for different races dooms itself to a lower +grade of spiritual experience and a lower degree of Christian +activity. How must every good work be retarded if, in addition to the +separation of Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians, and others which +we find nearly everywhere, there must also be a further separation of +these by races; if in every neighborhood, however scattered the +population, there must be a white Methodist church with its white +Methodist preacher, and also a colored Methodist church with its +colored Methodist preacher, a white Baptist church and preacher, and +also a colored Baptist church and preacher, a white Presbyterian +church and preacher, and so on through the list. In many cases such +churches have service only once in a month, and the members attend no +other in the meantime. It is plain that of two regions alike in other +respects, the one that insists on race distinctions in the worship of +the one God and Father of us all, and will not allow men of different +races to stand side by side in doing Christian work, must maintain +its religious institutions at greater cost and with less efficiency +because of this race separation. + +"The region that treats all men impartially in its churches will have +the advantage in religion and morals. The region that knows no race +distinctions in its schools will have the advantage in intelligence. +The region that is color-blind on its public conveyances and in its +places of business, will have the advantage in business, for it can +equip and run steamboats and railroads more economically and conduct +factories at lower cost, while its higher average intelligence will +make it a producer of better goods. All these elements will conspire +to give the impartial community precedence in wealth, in literature, +in art, in social attractiveness, as well as in a high average +intelligence; in orderly habits, and in both the power and the will +to achieve noble things. Power is coming into the hands of those who +choose righteousness. Let all the commonwealths in our broad land +know that only by treating all men with impartiality can they put +themselves in alliance with the silent but irresistible forces of +social and political economy. There is no future for caste-practicing +communities but decadence and increasing inferiority." + + * * * * * + +ANNIVERSARY AT TALLADEGA. + + +Talladega College, chartered in 1869, had its fifteenth anniversary +from June 14 to 18. The Cassedy school gave an exhibition full of +interest, and indicative of the good work done there, on the +preceding Friday evening. The college chapel was well filled at all +these exercises, and sometimes was too strait for the audience. The +attendance from town, especially of our white friends, was +exceptionally large, and we have never heard so many and so +appreciative words of commendation before. Rev. Dr. Worrell, +principal of a boys' school in Talladega, who taught in our Swayne +Hall before the War, when it was a Baptist College, was present, +leading us in a prayer memorable for its sympathy and fervency. +Certainly the work of Talladega College was never so strongly +intrenched in the regard of the people of Alabama as now. + +The full course of exercises for commencement was enacted in good +order, including an able Baccalaureate by Dr. Strieby, Missionary +sermon by Rev. J. W. Roberts, Dallas, Texas, one of our theological +graduates, and an address by Dr. Roy, exercises of our two literary +societies, prize speaking and essays, public examinations, orations +and essays on Commencement Day, and ending with a reception at the +President's house. Others can judge better of the worth of some of +these parts than the writer and his associates, but to us they seemed +good. We were greatly encouraged, and feel that our friends and +patrons would have been pleased had they been present. + +The Alumni Association, formed three years ago, was represented on +Commencement Day by Mrs. L. L. Wilson, who read an essay on "Homes +and How to Make Them," and by Rev. J. W. Roberts, whose theme was +"Exceptional Greatness." That afternoon the Alumni held a meeting in +the college chapel, when representatives from States as far away as +Arkansas and Texas were present, and others were heard from by +letter. + +At the business meeting it was determined to begin an Alumni fund, in +aid either of members of the Association or the College. + +The Exhibition of Industrial Work, both of the boys and girls, +attracted much attention and warm commendation. The Slater Shop, with +its facilities for instruction in much wood, little iron and some +paint, made its first annual display, and those who believe in little +other education for the child of the late slave, and those who differ +from them, all agreed in the great advantages of this industrial +training. The work exhibited was good; some of it very choice. + +We feel that the College never had a better anniversary; take it all +in all, never as good; but with continued help such as we need, by +the favor of God this may well be dwarfed by the greater result of +the near future. We are looking for that help with increasing +confidence. + + H. S. DEFOREST. + + * * * * * + +TOUGALOO COMMENCEMENT. + + +The unsurpassed wealth of our roses had just left their vanishing +fragrance on the air, only the Cherokees being left in profusion to +lend their peculiar charm to our closing exercises, but the grand old +oaks standing like guardian sentinels around the grounds, in all the +freshness of their early leafage and festooned with the Spanish moss, +ever faithful to all seasons, gave to the place a patriarchal +appearance, and an air of seclusion from temptation. The healthful +cedar boughs and buds bestowed their fragrance like a closing +benediction. + +Sec. Powell came to us with his strong earnest words of cheer and a +lecture on Slave Music, which our young people could illustrate and +well appreciate. Gov. Lowry expressed a hearty commendation of the +exhibition of work from the industrial department, as well as the +orations, essays, dialogue, and declamation. The colloquy on our +reading-room indicated that good use had been made of that room, even +if the number of volunteers for furnishing news items after dinner +had not always been as numerous as might be desired. Supt. Smith told +us that many of the best teachers in the State come from this school. +Dr. Galloway and the city fathers of Jackson showed their +appreciation of the sentiments expressed by the young people, and we +heartily wished that the dear, good, noble-hearted workers of the +North could have been present, who have so generously opened their +purses to educate and fit "our brother in black" for leading his race +from a darkness more than "skin deep" to noble citizenship. We wish +you could realize, as you only can by seeing it, what a stimulus +every such work is to the white people of the South, for as Dr. +Haygood stated in his closing address, "though Northern money +generously erected these buildings and pays a large share of the +salaries here, yet the State pays the young men and women who go out +from this school to teach in the country schools." + +Dear friends, your investments are bringing in grand returns, but the +needs of this race are very great yet. It is sad to see the number +who come to this institution with means to pay their expenses for +_only a part of the year_, hoping to come back another year, and +trusting that in some way they may be able to continue their studies. + +A students' aid fund is much needed to assist worthy pupils. +Aspirations are aroused that cannot be quenched. The daily lessons in +keeping rooms tidy, in personal habits, in doing thoroughly whatever +is undertaken, cannot be lost, even if pupils remain but a short +time. The sentiment, that to work is an honor, to be idle a disgrace, +is so infused into their daily life that we fully believe greater +progress will be seen in the coming years than has been seen in the +past. The spirit of those who have labored with these ardent +aspirants for higher, better, nobler things has so entered into and +permeated their very being, that it cannot lie dormant. Arouse and +cultivate the best there is in this race, and you have something +worth making a sacrifice for. God is showing us, by the way, that +this is His own blessed work. We do not have to wait long years to +reap; the sheaves are abundant every year. In one of our late +prayer-meetings special causes for thanksgiving was the topic. There +were many expressions of gratitude "for the Christian influence of +our school." One young man said: "I am just as thankful for what I +have learned in the workshop as in the school-room." After hearing of +the 700,000 one-room log-cabins of the South, and the need there is +of skilled workmen, we felt like singing an added song of praise as +we looked through the work exhibited in wood, tin, iron, and _cloth_, +and saw the promise of better things. Surely the young men who can +exhibit such work will not allow their mothers, wives, and sisters to +live in cabins through whose open roofs the stars are visible when +they shine. + +You would travel far to find a more temptingly spread table than the +girls of Tougaloo are taught to prepare--all the eatables of their +own make, even the delicious butter. Nowhere in New England need you +look for a nicer-kept cabin and yard than some of those on the little +homesteads lately purchased by President Pope, for one of his ideas +of missionary work is to help the colored man _get a home_, having +for corner-stones "Industry, Economy, Temperance, and Family Virtue." + + * * * * * + +TILLOTSON INSTITUTE, AUSTIN, TEXAS. + + +The third of June witnessed the close of another year of successful +work at Tillotson Institute. Written examinations were held May +26-29. The results of this work, in a shape convenient for +inspection, were placed in the reading room, and attracted no little +attention. Oral public examinations were held June 1 and 2. These +showed faithful work on the part of both teachers and pupils. The +classes in United States history and geometry deserve special +mention. The excitement of the occasion was a little too much for +some of the young people, leading one to say that Riel was the +Governor-General of Canada, while another remarked that Florida, +being discovered on Easter Sunday, and being a land of flowers, was +named the "Mayflower." These blunders, however, were speedily +corrected by the pupils themselves. + +The rhetorical exercises of Tuesday evening called out a very fine +audience. The chapel was filled to overflowing. The exercises +consisted of the usual programme of choruses, quartets, recitations, +declamations, essays, etc. Mr. Edward Wilson's rendering of his +translation of Cicero's First Oration against Catiline is deserving +of special notice, though all the parts were given without a single +break or failure of memory. We observe our students have great +capacity for "rising to occasions." + +In the midst of the programme we were most agreeably surprised by the +appearance of Secretary Powell, who happily closed the entertainment +by a brief but stirring address. + +The anniversary exercises of Wednesday morning made a fitting climax +for the series of meetings. Though not a "commencement" occasion, yet +it was distinguished from other days of the closing week, and from +previous anniversaries, by the presentation of "certificates" to two +young men who have completed the "Elementary Normal Course." These +young men remain with us to pursue a further course of study. The +address of one of them, Mr. A. S. Terrell, on the subject "Our Duty," +is especially worthy of notice. The subject was considered from the +stand-point of the advantages afforded colored people. "It is true," +he said, "we must bear many hard things, but let us look on the +bright side. Let us consider and improve our opportunities. Let us +accept the good, from whatever source it comes. To join with +Communists, labor-unions, and other discontented classes, in a chorus +of fault-finding and censure, because we cannot have everything we +want, is to take the sure road to the defeat of our most cherished +objects." These are timely words, and they reveal a state of feeling +among colored people which finds all too fertile a soil in the +tendency to ignore, or discriminate, or, at best, grant but a +supercilious recognition, which still in great measure controls +Southern sentiment. The colored people are naturally loyal and +conservative. It is possible, now, so to develop these qualities, +that they shall be national bulwarks. Some time it may be too late, +and if reaction comes it will be terrible. + +The attitude of many representative men of the South, however, is +most encouraging. Our anniversary exercises were honored by the +presence of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction and the +County Superintendent of Travis Co., Hon. B. M. Baker and Judge +Fullmore. In their addresses at the conclusion of our programme, both +gentlemen spoke with enthusiasm of the great progress in educational +matters that has been made in Texas during the past five years, among +both white and colored. The magnificent school fund of Texas, as +rapidly as it becomes available, is devoted to the interests of both +races without discrimination. Mr. Baker emphasized the fact that +notwithstanding the liberal provision for a State system of schools, +it would be many years before they could dispense with the schools +maintained by benevolent societies. The latter must be the main +agency for the training of teachers. For the present, the State must +devote her energies to the building of school-houses, and the +establishment and maintenance of common schools, without attempting +very much in the line of higher education. + +Both gentlemen spoke in high praise of Tillotson, and of the ability +and trustworthy character of the teachers she has sent out. + +Secretary Powell made the concluding address, and brought the meeting +to its highest point of enthusiasm. The presence of these men +representing educational interests, which not long ago seemed to +have nothing whatever in common, their interchange of courtesies, and +their expression of mutual dependence each upon the other, made the +occasion both memorable and very full of suggestion. + + J. H. PARR. + + * * * * * + +ANNIVERSARY WEEK AT AVERY INSTITUTE. + + +The closing exercises of the twentieth anniversary of Avery Normal +Institute, Charleston, S. C., occupied four days of the last week of +June. + +The week opened on Sunday, June 21, with a sermon to the graduating +class, by the Rev. E. T. Hooker, pastor of our A. M. A. church. + +The morning hours of Wednesday and Thursday were devoted to oral +examinations in all the departments. A fine display of maps, drawing +books, object drawings and original designs found scores of admirers. +The sewing done by the industrial classes made a creditable exhibit, +and the garments found ready purchasers. The remainder of the school +hours of each day were given to rhetorical exercises in the chapel of +the institution. + +On Wednesday, P. M., the sub-normal grades entertained their friends. +Promptly at 12 m., they filed into the chapel to a march from the +piano. Music, recitations, gesture and sewing songs pleasantly filled +an hour and a half. A composition, "The New Colony," weaving in, in a +humming fashion, the surnames of some of the teachers and pupils, was +highly appreciated by the crowded house of parents and friends. + +Thursday, P. M., the "Normals" held the Fort. The aim had not been to +foster theatrical tastes, nor to produce startling dramatic effects, +but to render in a natural and easy manner, historic, patriotic and +practical selections, both of poetry and prose. Music, vocal and +instrumental, lent its charm to the general enjoyment. + +Friday was wholly devoted to those whom Avery each year "delighteth +to honor." A galaxy of twenty-two formed the class of '85. Beginning +promptly at 10 A. M., seventeen earnest, womanly young women and five +faithful young men, expressed their opinions on their chosen +subjects, in the form of essay or oration. From salutatory to +valedictory, the quiet of the packed room attested the interest taken +in the evolution of each theme. The colored people of Charleston are, +intellectually, in advance of those of most other Southern cities. +Before the "slight misunderstanding," their native city was called +the "Athens of the South," and, breathing the same air as the more +favored race, they naturally imbibed some of its cultured modes of +thought. The presentation of diplomas by the Principal, Prof. Wm. M. +Bristoll, the singing of the Class Song and the congratulations of +friends closed the happy day. + + ANNA M. NICHOLAS. + + * * * * * + +BREWER NORMAL SCHOOL. + + +The Thirteenth Anniversary Exercises of the Brewer Normal School took +place at Greenwood, S. C., on Thursday, June 25. The annual address +was delivered at eleven o'clock A. M., by the Rev. T. E. McDonald, of +Columbia, to an unusually large audience, and enlisted earnest +attention. It will, we trust, be long remembered by those who heard +it. It was followed by a short, earnest talk from the Rev. H. M. +Young, presiding elder of this district in the A. M. E. Church. The +singing was by the entire school and was loudly applauded. This was +followed by an intermission of an hour and a half, during which time +friends held fellowship with friends and betook themselves to the +contents of abundantly laden refreshment baskets. + +The afternoon exercises consisted of singing, recitations and +dialogues by the children of the primary department. Our large hall +was bright with flowers, flags and happy faces, but was by far too +small to accommodate the immense throng seeking admission. The +calisthenic exercises and selections were well rendered and won many +complimentary remarks. At 5 o'clock a memorial service was held for a +member of the school who, the year before, took a very prominent part +in our closing exercises, but who, after months of patient suffering, +entered into rest April 6. The annual exhibition came off at 8 +o'clock P. M. The programme consisted of sixteen parts, interspersed +with music. We were favored during the day with music from two brass +bands. By competent judges the declamations were pronounced superior +to any heard on former occasions of a similar character. + +The attendance of the citizens from the town was a very pleasant +feature. Brewer Normal has made a deep impression on the white +people. They acknowledge the good work that it has done and is doing, +and believe in the possibilities that are before it. The students in +attendance during the year were 168, an advance upon that of any +previous year. We have had much for which to be thankful during the +first year connected with this institute; but let this be an +inspiration leading us to greater achievements during the year to +come. On Friday morning, amid a "sweet confusion" of tears, laughter +and farewells, the halls of the school were closed for the summer +vacation, and the students boarded the trains to return to their +homes. + + J. D. BACKENSTOSE. + + * * * * * + +STUDENT'S LETTER. + + +STRAIGHT UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS. + +The path along which the mind must travel to obtain an education, is +much like that on which one goes to accomplish any desired end. The +student will find in his way numberless difficulties which seem +higher than mountains, lower than valleys, and darker than any forest +glade. The Alpine traveler knows that he will meet many a rugged +steep, that he must cross many a mountain torrent on slender footing, +make his way through many a gloomy valley. He does not give up, but +presses forward with eagerness and courage, until he reaches the +summit and gazes as a victor on the glorious scenes around. + +So is it with the student who is determined to become useful to his +fellow-men and to God. His path is strewn with difficulties all the +way. He meets discouragements and back-sets which seem to him +sometimes insurmountable, and he will need all his courage to keep on +to the end. In our Southern country there are, it seems to me, many +difficulties which do not exist in all parts of our land; but as I +hear our teachers tell of their struggles and trials, I conclude +there is no broad, smooth way along which one may walk comfortably up +to the temple of knowledge. + +Many who are exceedingly anxious to become students have in early +life lost their parents, and, being poor, are unable to provide for +themselves, and unless some helping hand is stretched forth, must +remain in ignorance. There are others, who, though in good +circumstances, are not able to appreciate the value of learning, and +so care nothing for it. Again, there are many communities in which +the people, ignorant themselves, care nothing about the education of +their children, and will make no provisions for schools. I know of +settlements of five hundred or more inhabitants among whom there are +scarcely any competent preachers, no good schools or teachers, no +missionary work going on, and the people in a very degraded state. +Ignorant parents, unless persuaded, are not apt to attend to the +education of their children. It is a disadvantage to any one aiming +to prepare for future usefulness to meet with either of these +unfavorable circumstances that I have mentioned, and yet it is the +case with thousands of our boys and girls. The principles which ought +to be impressed upon the children's minds while young are neglected, +and false ideas and degraded impressions are allowed to govern them. +Thus, they are robbed of an early training in those things which are +the true foundations of a noble character. + +Here are the plantations in this Southland around many of which yet +cluster the stains of slavery, and to look upon them in all their +degradation is enough to cause a young man or woman who was once +acting in accordance with their sinfulness, but now trying to aim +higher, to give up and declare that it is useless to try to elevate +the great mass of our people to a high standard of citizenship and +usefulness, and it is only when we remember that the hand of the +great God is in the work, that one can have any hope. How many to-day +are idling away their time, breaking the Sabbath, engaging in sinful +sports, violating the State laws, disturbing the peace of quiet +citizens, disobeying their Supreme Ruler! + +We have glanced at the dark side of this subject. Let us now turn to +the bright. God has raised up noble men who have loved us and labored +for us--men whose names are familiar to all, and who will be loved +and honored through all generations. Can we be discouraged when we +think it was for us John Brown died? When we think of Abraham +Lincoln, Charles Sumner, and all that host of great men who saw the +evils our race suffered and so nobly stood up for us, we will not +despair. + +Our Christian friends at the North have given us liberty and +citizenship. Noble Lincoln and brave Grant were to us almost what +Moses and Aaron were to the Israelites. These same people are +mastering another great problem. As soon as hostilities ceased they +placed institutions of learning within our reach. Under the A. M. A. +and other associations, schools and colleges are erected in the South +for our advancement and training. Here is Straight University, +founded at the very centre of bitterness. From the regions round +about she gathers young men and woman, teaches them the truths of +Christianity, educates them, and then sends them abroad to fill the +pulpits, to gather in the lost ones. Trained by those who have had +the best education the North could give them, they go out to teach +the children, who, but for them, could have no good teaching. The +missionary cause carries light to the homes that are in darkness. + +It is a great encouragement, not only to us but to our parents also, +to know that we are acquiring an education from the hands of these +Christian helpers, so that we can become useful in the world, good +citizens, skilled in art and science, and in all branches of +knowledge; to become recognized in the best society, and to secure +comfortable homes for ourselves; to know that we are taught true +principles of Christianity, so that we can use our learning aright, +build up God's kingdom, promote peace and happiness upon earth, and +by and by, when that Eye which looked down from heaven and saw the +shackles of slavery struck from our hands and souls, sees fit, we +shall be the instruments in carrying the gospel of Christ across the +sea to our fellow-men who inhabit the dark continent. Difficulties +there are, many and great; but nothing is too difficult for the +Almighty, and He is our helper and always will help if we ask Him. + +The chance to get a good training is in the reach of nearly every +one, if he will only try. We are grateful to our benefactors and to +God for these blessings. May His name be praised and may He reward +his servants in the end! + + C. W. JOHNSON. + + * * * * * + +THE INDIANS. + + * * * * * + +THE APACHE RAID. + +BY GEN. C. H. HOWARD. + + +A private letter before me from a ranchman says: "Great excitement +prevails all over this part of Arizona from the breaking out of the +Chiricahua Apaches. We expected them here, as this is one of their +old trails and watering places. We kept guard night and day. But they +crossed into New Mexico, to the north of us." + +The old roaming ground of the Chiricahuas was Southern Arizona. For +many years they defied all attempts to subdue them. Their famous +chief, Cochise, refused to make any treaty or even to parley with the +representatives of the Government. + +In 1873, under Grant's "peace policy," General O. O. Howard was sent +to Arizona and New Mexico to make treaties with such of the Indians +as could be reached. After he had visited many other tribes, +including several of the Apache family, and located them peaceably, +he determined to make one earnest effort to meet Cochise. The +experience of twenty years proved that it would be vain to try to +capture him. One white man was found, a scout and interpreter, known +as Captain Jefferds, who spoke Apache and who was regarded by Cochise +as a friend. He consented to try and bring about a parley with +Cochise, but declared no troops must be near. General Howard took one +aide-de-camp, and with Jefferds and two friendly Apaches, rode for +two days until they came near the stronghold. Jefferds then sent +forward the two Indians with a message. They went cautiously, +kindling fires from point to point, and receiving answering signals. +The next day one of them returned, bringing word that Cochise would +see the General and his party, and that the messenger was to guide +them to a designated place of meeting. Cochise was not there on the +arrival of the party, but some of his head men appeared soon after, +had a talk with Jefferds and were introduced to the General, all +showing signs of a marked impression, from the fact that the General +had lost his right arm and carried no weapons. His Apache name was +ever afterwards the "The One-Armed Chief." Some of the Chiricahuas +then mounted and rode away, and not long after a body of Indians came +galloping up. A powerfully-built man, fully armed with rifle, +revolvers and knife, dismounted and first took Jefferds by the hand, +and then turned and frankly greeted the General. The details of that +interview, of the stay of the treaty-party in the stronghold as +Cochise's guests, for two days; their experience the first night, +when they were awakened in the middle of the night and the entire +camp was moved to a still more inaccessible natural fortification, +far up in the mountains, owing to an apprehended attack from a +militia company which had pursued some marauding Chiricahuas the day +before--all would form an interesting and romantic chapter of Indian +history. + +The treaty stipulated that all raiding and marauding should cease; +that the Chiricahuas should confine themselves to a certain defined +tract of country; that Captain Jefferds, whom Cochise always called +his brother, would be their agent, and that necessary food would be +allowed them. A definite time was granted in which Cochise was to +communicate the terms of the treaty to his absent chiefs, some of +whom were in old Mexico or other distant places. + +[Illustration: INDIAN SUMMER TENT.] + +The treaty was kept by Cochise and the Chiricahuas for nine years, as +long as he lived. They were greatly incensed and felt that they +were wronged when Capt. Jefferds was displaced, the reservation +marked out in the treaty was taken away, and they were removed from +their traditional home and herded upon the San Carlos reservation +with other tribes, some of whom they greatly despised. This, however, +they still bore patiently or without manifest resentment until +October, 1881. At that time there was trouble with other San Carlos +tribes. The army marched upon the reservation. The next night the +Chiricahuas left. They started in the direction of their old haunts, +met freighting teams, murdered the drivers and took the horses, +killed cattle and stole other horses from ranchmen, had one or two +slight skirmishes with the United States cavalry and escaped into +Mexico. + +Gen. Crook's campaign into Mexico in pursuit of them is familiar to +all. He captured their women and children and old people, and in +order, doubtless, to induce the leaders, who were hidden in the +fastnesses of the Sierra Madre mountains, to surrender, promised +terms that have been severely criticised. Those leaders, like +Geronomo, whose hands were stained with murder, were allowed to come +back unmolested upon the reservation, to retain their arms, and to +feel that, instead of conquered foes of the government, and criminals +justly and duly punished, they had outwitted their white enemy and +dictated their own terms of a peace to be broken at will. + +Should not these Chiricahua leaders, having deliberately broken their +treaty, and known to be incorrigibly criminal, have been at least +confined where they could neither incite nor lead more murderous +raids? It was neither a dictate of humanity nor of true statesmanship +to set them loose with arms in their hands. One of the essential +steps in the civilization of any tribe is to demonstrate that crimes +are to be promptly and adequately punished. + +But the utter neglect of the government, and of all missionary +bodies, to send to these Chiricahuas any teachers or to make any +earnest attempt to civilize them, during the entire nine years of +their peaceable stay on the reservation, should, no doubt, be duly +weighed when considering the question of ultimate responsibility for +this outbreak.--_The Chicago Standard._ + + * * * * * + +THE CHINESE. + + * * * * * + +A TOUR AMONG THE MISSIONS. + +BY REV. W. C. POND. + + +Since writing my last account of our work for the MISSIONARY, I have +visited several of our Missions in the interior of the State, and, as +far as I can in the space at my command, I will recount my +observations. + +I. STOCKTON.--Except as, for a short time, more than thirty years +ago, something was done by Rev. S. V. Blakeslee in San Francisco, +Stockton was the first point in California occupied by the A. M. A. +The work was continued there with scarcely a month's intermission +from 1871 till about a year ago, when under financial pressure it was +closed for a time. The intention was to resume as soon as the opening +of a new fiscal year gave me the right to draw against a new +appropriation. Meanwhile it was hoped that a temporary suspension +might lead to a greater interest on the part of the Chinese +themselves, and that we should begin to get urgent requests from them +with pledges of coöperation such as had sometimes come to us from +other places. It was all a mistake for which your Superintendent is +chastened, and repents. When we were ready to resume, we found the +convenient room which the school had occupied so many years rented +for quite other purposes, and no quarters could be obtained except at +a rental too exorbitant. Most of those among the pupils who had been +specially benefited, and whose urgencies we should otherwise have +heard, had moved elsewhere, and the Macedonian cry which we hoped +would put us on vantage ground for future operations, did not come to +our ears. The Chinese are very numerous in Stockton--at least 1,000 +constantly there, and probably 1,000 more who, working here and there +in the great San Joaquin Valley, make Stockton their rendezvous. I +ought not to have suspended work among them, but rather with faith +and courage I should have pressed it with greater zeal, and if hearts +seemed harder there than elsewhere, I should have poured in upon them +more abundantly the light and love of Christ. All that I could +accomplish on this visit was to arrange conditionally for a room in a +building not yet completed, and to intensify my own determination +somehow to carry to those dark, needy souls "the _fullness_ of the +blessing of Christ." + +II. SACRAMENTO.--It was good to come into the warm spiritual +atmosphere of our Sacramento mission. The tokens of God's blessing on +our work there are unmistakable. Our readers have heard recently from +our helper, Chin Toy, and I forbear going into details. The best +result of my visit was in the decision of one of our pupils who had +been highly commended to me by his brethren and by Mrs. Carrington, +to enter into missionary work. His name is Chin Kel. I am all the +more hopeful about him because he is distrustful of himself. This was +the only ground of hesitancy with him. The fact that it involved a +_very considerable pecuniary sacrifice_ does not seem to have weighed +with him at all. He will be stationed at Marysville, relieving our +excellent brother Joe Jet for work elsewhere. + +III. MARYSVILLE.--Here, too, I found comfort with the brethren, and +after the usual exercises of the school were finished, at nine +o'clock P. M., we sat down together at the Lord's table. One brother +was baptized and received to the church. All the resident members of +the church were present, and, if I mistake not, we broke the bread +not only at about the same hour of the evening, but with the same +number of communicants as were gathered round the table in that upper +chamber at Jerusalem when this sacrament was first observed. + +IV. OROVILLE.--The next two evenings were spent at Oroville, +twenty-eight miles further north. I took our faithful helper, Joe +Jet, with me, and he will spend a month or more in that mission. Two +of the Marysville brethren also accompanied us, and one other was +already there. I invited them to be present because I proposed to +organize our Oroville brethren into a church. Too long already--too +long, not by months, only, but by years--we had waited, hoping that +the church already existing in Oroville would open its doors and +extend a brother's hand to these disciples; and we believed that they +ought not longer to be debarred the privileges of the sacraments and +of church fellowship. Several who in years past have given evidence +of conversion in connection with this mission, are now elsewhere. +Four young men, after careful examination, in which Joe Jet and the +Marysville brethren shared, were constituted into "The Bethany Church +of Oroville." Four others were believed to be Christians, but, as +being recent converts, were held under probation awhile, as is the +custom in our missions. When we sat down on Friday evening to the +Lord's table it was found that four other churches were informally +represented by members present, and thus, in some sense, the +fellowship of the churches was expressed. + +V. TULARE.--My next visit was made to Tulare, in the southern part of +the San Joaquin Valley. I was greatly interested in what I found. My +hopes were more than realized. Believing that our work will be +permanent and fruitful, I bought, on my own responsibility, a lot, +and contracted for the erection of a comfortable Mission-house, which +having been put up with Californian speed, was dedicated on Monday, +May 18. I could not myself be present at the service, but Rev. D. +Goodsell, pastor of the Congregational Church, conducted it well. +There were songs and Scripture readings by the pupils, an address by +Ju Guy, the helper, giving in a brief and modest way his own +religious experience; addresses also by Bro. Goodsell and by Rev. Mr. +McMillan, of the M. E. Church; a collection which under the +circumstances was quite generous; and finally a banquet which the +pupils asked the privilege of providing for their friends. + +VI. FRESNO.--My last visit was at Fresno, the largest and most +promising town between Stockton and Los Angeles. Here I found fully +500 Chinese. Many more, doubtless, make their headquarters here. Ju +Guy accompanied me from Tulare, and in about six hours found five of +his countrymen who professed to be Christians. Three of these were +Baptists from Oregon, one a Methodist and one a Congregationalist. +All were ready to coöperate. The last one gave his name as Soo Hoo +Foo, and said that about eight years ago he began to believe in +Jesus, and united in San Francisco with our "Congregational +Association of Christian Chinese." Soon after this he left the city, +and ever since has been almost entirely destitute of Christian +instruction and companionship. Yet he had not relinquished his +purpose to follow Christ, and his heart warmed at once at the +prospect of a mission in Fresno. Our school was started there May 1, +and gives good promise of permanent usefulness. The teacher speaks in +glowing terms about Soo Hoo Foo, believing that he might be trained +for good service as a missionary. About this time will tell; but +certainly our faith may well be strengthened and our hearts gladdened +to see how the Good Shepherd knows and keeps His scattered lambs. + + * * * * * + +BUREAU OF WOMAN'S WORK. + + * * * * * + +MISS D. E. EMERSON, SECRETARY. + + * * * * * + +As the ladies interested in our Bureau of Woman's Work may wish to +see the resolutions adopted by the representatives of the several +woman's missionary societies at the meeting held in Saratoga June 4, +we herewith print them: + + _Resolved_, That we, the representatives of the several + State women's home missionary societies present at the + Saratoga meeting, entreat the women of all the States to + form State societies, and add their contributions to those + of the great national societies to carry on all branches + of the missionary work in our own land, and to urge them + also to make corresponding effort to increase intelligence + in regard to home work. + + _Resolved_, That a committee of three ladies be appointed + to open correspondence with representatives in the + different States where no societies now exist, and in all + practicable ways to promote unity of interest and action + in home work. + +The committee appointed were: + +Mrs. W. Kincaid, 483 Greene avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y. + +Mrs. C. A. Richardson, 123 Washington avenue, Chelsea, Mass. + +Mrs. E. S. Williams, 1729 Eleventh avenue South, Minneapolis, Minn. + + * * * * * + +THE PAPER MISSION. + + +This unique enterprise in missionary work was started three years ago +by Miss Nancy Marsh, Providence, R. I. Miss Marsh writes: + +"Our third year of labor among the freedmen has just closed. We have +sent to about forty places 2,312 papers and pamphlets, 1,113 lesson +papers, 1,006 lesson cards, 174 tracts, 393 Scripture cards, 109 +Christmas and picture cards, 29 books of various kinds and 84 +lithographs; 66 letters and postals have been written. A box was sent +in October last to a pastor in Texas, with some articles of clothing, +'Barnes' Notes' and other books." + +Miss Marsh has received many letters from the missionaries, +gratefully acknowledging the help that the papers have been. One +writes: "I wish you could step in and see the little ones in their +several classes, how their eyes sparkle when the papers are given +out." Another: "It did me good to feel that one whom I had never seen +would interest herself in my work here in this isolated spot. I send +you my sincere thanks." A pastor says: "Our new church was dedicated +May 24. Our permanent existence began that day. The next Sabbath +twenty joined our Sunday-school, and the Sunday following seven more. +Nothing is so acceptable as your papers. Please send oftener, and +more with pictures, as my school is largely made up of little ones." + +The above are specimens of a great many letters that have been +received by Miss Marsh. We should be pleased to give still further +extracts from her interesting correspondence, but lack of space +forbids. She is engaged in doing a good work, and she has the +grateful appreciation of our missionaries in the field. + + * * * * * + +INDUSTRIAL LETTER FROM LE MOYNE. + + +DEAR FRIENDS: Thinking you would like to hear a word from "Le Moyne +Home" I will pen you a few lines. I wish you were here to see for +yourself what a nice happy family we are. The industrial classes take +a good share of my time. I am much pleased with the progress the +girls have made in sewing. They have a deal of pride in doing their +work nicely, and are always willing to take it out if not well done. +They have made ladies' and children's aprons, undergarments, +children's dresses, etc. Whenever they enter the sewing room with +torn or ragged garments I have them mend them the first thing, trying +to teach them that a stitch in time saves nine, and that a penny +saved is the same as a penny earned--two things hard for them to +learn. + +The class in cooking are interested as ever in their work. Not one of +the twenty-five girls has ever failed in any article of food she has +cooked. I give the girls who do the cooking a sample to take home. It +makes the mothers interested in their work. They bring frequently to +me something they have made at home. I have been very happy in my +work with them. + + M. H. K. + + * * * * * + +CHILDREN'S PAGE. + + * * * * * + +PLAYING 'POSSUM. + + +"See what a splendid 'possum I've shot, Uncle Toby. I killed him all +myself." + +"Killed him all yo'se'f, eh? Now, let me tole you' suffin'. Jest yo' +look sharp after him. A 'possum am a mighty skeery critter, shore's +yo' bawn." + +"Why, but he's dead, uncle, and how can he need any looking after?" + +"Don't yo' be so shore 'bout dat ar' now, 'case dey's mighty +onsartin, mighty onsartin. I mind now wat yore bressed uncle, the +parson, used ter say on that subjec', ses he: 'Toby, ef yo' ebber +wants to be a fust-rate Christian, yo' mus'n't let yer 'settin' sins +fool ye, 'case dey's jes like 'possums. Yo' t'ink dem all dead and +gone fur to pester ye no moah, when all ob a suddent heah dey all +comes agin, jes' as pow'rful as ebber. Be shore yo' kills dem +dead--plumb dead--ebbery time yo' sees de leastest bit ob one stick'n +up anywhars.' Dat's what he used fur to remark, an' he war a mighty +good man, chuck full ob de sperrit ob goodness." + +Willie ran away and shut his treasure up in an empty cotton-shed, +intending to skin it early in the morning, as it was now supper-time +and he was exceedingly hungry. But on the morrow nothing was to be +seen or heard of his prize. He hunted the place over and questioned +all the servants closely. Nothing was to be heard or seen of the +missing rogue, who was probably telling his mates of the forest of +his narrow escape from being skinned alive! + +Uncle Toby greeted Willie with a laugh, "I done tole yo' so. Yo' 's +got to cut dere heads plumb off. Dat am de onlst way ob bein' sartin +shore. I 'clare to gracious I'se seen dem hop outen de bery pot on de +fire an' make off." + +"O, Uncle Toby, that's an awful story! you know it is. But one thing +I do know: I'll cut the throat of the next 'possum I get hold of." + +"An' don't yo' fo'git what I done tole ye 'bout your 'settin' sins. +Dey's jes like dat ar' 'possum. Dey wants killin' ober an' ober again +'fore dey really dies." + +"I should think John Salters' love of drink needed killing again. Do +you know, I stumbled over him in the woods yesterday, with a +whisky-bottle lying by his side? It was too shameful!" + +"Dat am true, Massa Willie. I don't reckon he tries so bery hard to +kill dat ar' possum." + +"But he told father that he had reformed, and wanted him to furnish +him some work. Mother gave him a lot of old clothing and things to +eat, and yet there he lay, drunk as could be." + +"Wall, yo' see, he was jes' like yo' was yessaday. Yo' was sartain +shore dat 'possum was dead, an' all de time he was a larfin' in his +slebe an' t'inkin' how he'd make his legs fly when he'd see a good +chance, an' shore 'nuff he did. He-he." + +"You needn't laugh, uncle; 'twasn't any fun to lose such a big fat +fellow." + +"No moah it wasn't, but ef yo' larned de lesson wat de good Lord +meant to teach yo', den yo' hasn't loss nuffin'. Jes' yo' mind 'bout +dat ar."--_Ruth Argyle in Well Spring._ + + * * * * * + +RECEIPTS FOR JUNE, 1885. + + * * * * * + +MAINE, $1,187.38. + + Bangor. "A Friend," 1, and S. S.

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.

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.

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 http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is 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: + + http://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. diff --git a/31169-8.zip b/31169-8.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..0916cf6 --- /dev/null +++ b/31169-8.zip diff --git a/31169-h.zip b/31169-h.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..a2adfb9 --- /dev/null +++ b/31169-h.zip diff --git a/31169-h/31169-h.htm b/31169-h/31169-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..68c00aa --- /dev/null +++ b/31169-h/31169-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,3929 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" + "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> + +<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> + <head> + <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" /> + <title> + The Project Gutenberg eBook of The American Missionary, Vol. XXXIX, No. 8, August, 1885. + </title> + <style type="text/css"> + + div.state {margin-bottom: 0em;} + + p { margin-top: .75em; + text-align: justify; + margin-bottom: .75em; + } + h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 { + text-align: center; /* all headings centered */ + clear: both; + } + hr { width: 33%; + margin-top: 1em; + margin-bottom: 1em; + margin-left: auto; + margin-right: auto; + clear: both; + } + + hr.full {width: 100%; margin-top:0em; margin-bottom:0em;} + hr.section {width: 65%;} + hr.quarter {width: 25%;} + hr.tenth {width: 10%;} + hr.tiny {width: 5%;} + + + body{margin-left: 15%; + margin-right: 15%; + } + + .blockquot{margin-left: 5%; margin-right: 10%;} + .adquote {margin-left: 10%; margin-right: 10%;} + .adquote2 {margin-left: 30%; margin-right: 30%;} + .adnarrow {margin-left: 20%; margin-right: 20%;} + + + .pagenum {position: absolute; left: 1%; right: 91%; font-size: smaller;} + + table.volume {margin-top: -1em; margin-bottom: 1em;} + table.receipts {width: 85%; } + table.advert {width: 60%; } + + + .sub1 {text-indent: -1em; margin-left: 1em;} + .sub2 {text-indent: -1em; margin-left: 3em;} + .amt2 {margin-left: 0em; margin-right: 6em;} + + div.center table {margin: 0 auto; text-align: left;} + + ul { list-style: none; text-align: left; margin-left: 7em; margin-right: 7em; } + li { text-indent: -1em;} + li.state { text-align: center; padding-top: 1em;} + li.org { text-align: center; font-variant: small-caps; padding-bottom: .5em;} + + .caption {font-weight: bold; font-size: 80%;} + .captionsmall {font-weight: bold; font-size: 60%;} + + .figcenter {margin: auto; text-align: center;} + .figleft {float: left; clear: left; margin-left: 0; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0em; + margin-bottom: 0em; margin-right: 1em; padding: 0; text-align: center;} + .figright {float: right; clear: right; margin-left: 1em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; + margin-top: 0em; margin-right: 0; padding: 0; text-align: center;} + + .footnotes {border: dashed 1px;} + .footnote {margin-left: 10%; margin-right: 10%; font-size: 0.9em;} + .footnote .label {position: absolute; right: 80%; text-align: right;} + .fnanchor {vertical-align: top; font-size: .7em; text-decoration: none;} + + .sidenote {width: 15%; padding-bottom: .25em; padding-top: .25em; + padding-left: 0em; padding-right: .5em; margin-right: 1em; + float: left; clear: left; margin-top: .5em; } + + .xlarge {font-size: 140%;} + .large {font-size: 120%;} + .medium {font-size: 80%;} + .small {font-size: 50%;} + .right {text-align: right;} + .left {text-align: left;} + + .linenum {position: absolute; right: 25%; text-align: right;} + .center {text-align: center;} + .smcap {font-variant: small-caps;} + .chapline {font-variant: small-caps; margin-left: 6em;} + .chapline2 {font-variant: small-caps; margin-left: 8em;} + + </style> + </head> +<body> + + +<pre> + +The Project Gutenberg EBook of The American Missionary -- Volume 39, No. +08, August, 1885, by Various + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

But amid all the fluctuations we have +had an abiding confidence that before the year ends there will be +such a rally by our friends that we shall come out free of debt. Are +we to be disappointed? We are approaching the time for decisive +thought and action. We cannot delay much longer. The figures this +month not only show that in the total we are a little behind, but +they also indicate that our reliance for relief must be in the living +and not in the dead. We have no large legacies that are available in +sight, and we have no reserve fund on which to draw to avert +disaster. Can the threatening deficit be averted? Can our friends +meet the demand? Yes, and much more. All that is needed is the will +to do; the ability exists.</p> + +<p>We appeal to the wealthy to take this matter upon their hearts and +minds at once. We beg them to send on, as soon as possible, generous +donations to our treasury. Their example at this time will be most +inspiring.</p> + +<p>We ask all our friends to do what they can. "The two mites" that in +the Lord's mode of estimating count more than many of the larger +gifts, we cannot possibly do without. The little rills and the small +streams must make their contributions, or the broad and deep river on +which we are to float and be saved will not form.</p> + +<p>Especially do we plead that <i>every</i> Congregational church in the +country, large and small, without exception, will see to it that +before the end of next September it shall be on record as having +taken a contribution within the year for the American Missionary +Association. Pastors, deacons, church clerks and church treasurers, +will you not, for the sake of this endangered cause, for the sake of +the millions of Christ's poor for whom we labor, give us the help of +your influence to secure this? We believe you will.</p> + +<hr class="quarter" /> + +<p>The Thirty-ninth Annual Meeting of the American Missionary +Association will be held in Madison, Wisconsin, October 27-29. The +sermon will be preached by the Rev. Reuen Thomas, D. D., Brookline, +Mass.

M. A. He goes to take +charge of the State Normal School at Whitewater, Wis. This is the +school in which we found him as a professor, when we called him to +our ranks, and now we are called to give him up that he may go back +to stand at its head. We can ill afford to spare him. He is not only +a master in his knowledge of everything connected with schools, in +respect to organization, discipline and best methods of teaching, but +he is also a man of remarkable executive ability.</p> + +<p>When he entered our work he certainly came into the kingdom for a day +that had been providentially prepared. The work had taken on massive +proportions. All over the South our schools had been planted. These +schools were branches of the same tree; they had a common trunk and +drew their life and spirit from the same soil. But, separated so far +from one another, as many of them were, there came to be a felt +necessity that some one competent to care for their common interests, +while recognizing at the same time their separate prerogatives and +rights, must be found. Multiplied variety necessarily had +characterized their development, and as a consequence, the unity of +their origin and aim had been endangered. That is a law of nature. We +had been brought to see and feel this. We looked around to find the +man equal to the task involved. It was not easy to find him. We +realized the difficulty. Our workers realized it. It would not have +been strange if we had made a mistake. A rare combination of +qualifications was demanded. We believed that Professor Salisbury +possessed these qualifications. We invited him to take up the work. +He accepted. He entered, and continued in it down to the last moment +he held the office, with all his heart and soul, and now that he has +felt constrained to leave us we are glad, not only on his account, +but also on our own, unreservedly to bear testimony that, we believe, +no mistake was made when he was appointed.</p> + +<p>He has rendered the American Missionary Association signal service, +and when we remember how intimately the work of this Association is +connected with the welfare of the nation, it is not too much to say +that he has in these three years of hard and faithful work rendered +signal service to the whole land. Our school work has steadily grown +in efficiency and power ever since he took it up, and the general +cause of education all over the South has been benefited by the +impulse his teaching, character and devotion have inspired. Not alone +the colored schools, but the white schools as well, have been the +gainers. By his lectures and instruction given in Normal Institutes, +and by his personal contact with the leading<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_216" id="Page_216">[Pg 216]</a></span> educators of the South, +he has brought in no small degree a knowledge of the most approved +methods of teaching to the attention of Southern educators, and has +done much to develop a sentiment in favor of popular education among +the people.</p> + +<p>It is a high compliment to his ability the State of Wisconsin pays in +calling him back and investing him with the principalship of the same +school from which we took him; and, as we reluctantly return him, we +can wish for him no greater blessing than that the same success may +attend his labors in the field to which he goes that, with God's +favor, has so abundantly crowned him in the one he leaves.</p> + +<hr class="quarter" /> + +<p>"The king is dead; long live the king." We have just been speeding +the parting guest. We now turn to welcome the coming. That we have +done the "speeding" reluctantly does not abate the heartiness with +which we now do the "welcoming." To such an extent had our church +work been systematized under Superintendent Roy, and our school work +under Superintendent Salisbury, that when we had to transfer the one +to the Western District Secretaryship, and had to lose the other, we +felt that the two positions might possibly be merged. The very +success of these workers had made this practicable. Not that the work +of the two could be done by any one man. They are not that kind of +men, as our constituents well know. They are both of them drivers. It +is almost enough to discourage any ordinary man to see either of them +work. A hard position to fill surely. We are glad to say that after a +good deal of searching we believe we have found the man.</p> + +<p>We have appointed Rev. C. J. Ryder, of Medina, Ohio, as our Field +Superintendent. He accepts the appointment and will take up the work +the first of September. He will be located at Cincinnati, from which +point, by reason of its central location and excellent railroad +facilities, he will be able to reach out in all directions.

W. W. PATTON, D. D.</div> + + +<p>Many strangely adopt this wrong principle with regard to the negro +race—that they are to be treated not simply as men, but as colored +men, as members of a peculiar and inferior race, about whom one must +not reason as he would about others, and especially about white men. +One writer thinks that his eyes have just been opened to the truth, +for he says: "Like most Northern men, I have made the mistake of +judging the black by the standard of the white. A freer intercourse +with him and a closer study of his characteristics have shown me that +he is not to be so judged, and that the training adapted to the white +man is not adapted to the black." In any reasonable sense of these +words, we regard them as involving the same error which so long +hindered emancipation—the idea that negroes could not be expected to +act as would other men in the same circumstances. It used to be +argued that freed negroes would refuse to labor, and would simply +plunder and massacre. The history of the last twenty years, and the +enormous crops raised at the South since the war, have disproved this +absurdity, although the writer quoted still has his doubts, for he +says of the negro: "We must take him as he is; and because we have +not done this, his freedom, which has been of inestimable value to +the Southern white man, has until now been a most questionable +blessing to the negro!" One who can utter that doubt has some defect +of vision, which disqualifies him from reaching safe conclusions +respecting the colored race. Now, every race has certain +peculiarities, and so has every nation, and to these we have a degree +of regard in our intercourse with them. In minor matters, we +remember, in our dealings, that this man is a Scotchman, and that man +a Welshman, and that a Frenchman, and that a German. But in great +questions of principle and method touching humanity, such as +education and religion, we drop race and nation, and act upon simple +manhood. If we do not, we are sure to err. The true idea in the case +before us is, not to think perpetually of the black skin and the +African blood, but of the man, and to use with the negro precisely +the measures which should be used with white men in the same +circumstances of ignorance and poverty, and with the same +responsibilities as citizens. And it is singular that objectors to +our work do not seem to be aware that the precise difficulty which +they emphasize respecting the black masses at the South has been +equally emphasized by others respecting the white masses at the +North. The complaint everywhere heard in the Northern States is, that +the common people are being so highly educated as to become +dissatisfied with labor. The young men and young women refuse to work +at manual industries, and take to trade and the professions, or else +become dissipated idlers. Hence attempts are making to attach +industrial education to our<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_218" id="Page_218">[Pg 218]</a></span> common schools. Why, then, talk of the +peculiarities of the negro in this matter? There are none. He simply +shares in the temptations which beset all races, and we must reason +accordingly, and plan alike for the masses of the people, black and +white.</p> + +<p>One should avoid extreme and disproportionate statements and +implications. The same writer runs a tilt against all education for +the negro above the most rudimental, and says: "I have failed to see +one who has been made a better man or a better citizen by this higher +education; on the contrary, I know of very many who have been morally +and socially ruined by it." We are sorry that his acquaintance has +been so unfortunate with this class. Others have had the happiness to +know scores and hundreds of well-educated colored people who are +doing great credit to their race as ministers, physicians, editors, +lawyers, teachers and authors. To one of these, a graduate of a +theological institution, aided by this Association, the District +Attorney in the part of Virginia where he now lives, recently +addressed a letter of thanks for his having wrought a moral +revolution in that county, saying: "Your boldness in condemning the +wrong and asserting and approving the right has not only impressed +the colored, and influenced their conduct in the right direction, but +it has at the same time won for you the confidence and esteem of all +the thinking portion of the white race, who are interested in good +government and a well-ordered and law-abiding community ... for which +this community ought to be profoundly grateful." And this man is also +"ebon black." And here we would correct the impression that a large +disproportion of the negroes are receiving "a higher education." The +idea is given out that a great mistake has been made by the societies +and philanthropists that are seeking the elevation of the freedmen. +It would relieve the quite unnecessary alarm of objectors if they +would consult the United States census for the statistics of the +negro population, and then compare with its six millions of colored +people the few thousands of them found in the colleges, academies, +high schools, theological seminaries, medical and law schools of the +land. Probably not more than one negro in a thousand is receiving +anything beyond the very simplest instruction. Surely, then, no great +harm can yet have been done, or is likely to be done, for many years +to come. And yet, long before the objectors had spoken, these same +educators had begun to add industrial training to book learning, and +they are now pushing this branch as fast as the pecuniary means are +furnished.</p> + +<p>Nor should we overlook the vast and pressing necessities to which the +higher education stands related. There is a loud and general call for +<i>competent</i> colored teachers, instead of there being such a surplus +as the aforementioned writer found when he says, "There was only one +vacancy where there were fifty teachers." A remarkably favored +locality! The superintendents of Southern schools tell a very +different story. Not long<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_219" id="Page_219">[Pg 219]</a></span> since, the Rev. Dr. Haygood, of Georgia, +in an article in the <i>Independent</i>, called for fifty thousand colored +physicians, to be furnished as speedily as possible. And who can +exaggerate the need of educated colored ministers to take the place +of the old ignorant preachers? And how is any race to rise without +intelligent leaders of their own in every locality? These will +naturally be found in their men of education and property, in their +ministers, physicians, lawyers, editors, teachers and political +representatives. It is idle and wrong to repress or ignore the +ambition of negroes of talent to be something more than laborers and +servants, bootblacks and whitewashers. They must have the chance that +others have, in proportion to their numbers; no more, no less. And +all these rising colored men must have correspondingly intelligent +wives, for their comfort and improvement and for the training of +their children. To meet such wants the existing schools of high grade +will all be needed and should all be liberally endowed.</p> + +<hr class="section" /> + +<h3>OPINIONS.</h3> + + +<p>The American Missionary Association and those allied to it have been +the chief agency at the South, so far as benevolent effort is +concerned, in diffusing right notions of religion, and in carrying +education to the darkened mind of the negro.—<i>Hon. J. L. M. Curry.</i></p> + +<hr class="quarter" /> + +<p>Of all the questions which disturb the mental equanimity of the +patriotic and thinking citizen of our Republic, none is looming in +his horizon with a more lurid and portentous aspect than the black +cloud of illiteracy which is rapidly spreading over the country, and +especially resting upon the Southern States of the Union. Compared +with it as an element of vital danger to the Republic, Mormonism, +Communism and Socialism sink into obscurity. The only way out of the +unfortunate dilemma or of ameliorating the condition in which the +country is placed by the thrusting upon it of this mass of ignorance, +is by education—an education both mental and moral.—<i>George R. +Stetson.</i></p> + +<hr class="quarter" /> + +<p>The real tests of Northern zeal and liberality, of Northern faith and +patience in the work of educating the negro, are yet to come. At the +first, Christian zeal was mightily stimulated by the patriotic +fervors of a great war for the preservation of the Union. In most +minds the course of events identified the preservation of the Union +and the abolition of slavery. The tremendous moral and political +forces that were at work during the war, and for many years after its +close, all conspired to make such an appeal to the thought, sentiment +and conscience of the church in the North as was perhaps never before +made for any form of Christian philanthropy. Christian men and women +were filled with pity for the poor negroes, and there was a movement +of "men and money" for their<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_220" id="Page_220">[Pg 220]</a></span> education that was never before seen in +this, or perhaps any other, country. The effort was stupendous, and +the results are amazing.</p> + +<p>But the conditions that obtained from 1865 to 1875 will obtain no +more. The enthusiasms peculiar to that period pass away with the +coming of a new generation. The work must go on now as the foreign +missionary movement of Christendom goes on—by the force that is born +of a fixed conviction and an unquestioning faith in God's purpose to +save the world and in His plan of saving it.</p> + +<p>It is saddening, it is not surprising, to know that some noble men +and women teaching in negro schools in the South are discouraged. +This is natural, but nevertheless perilous, as well as distressing. +One teacher, long in the service, speaks thus: "Some are much +discouraged; we have expected by this time to see results more +permanent in the negro character; we thought it would be somewhat as +we have seen it in our Western colleges after a few years."</p> + +<p>Such a basis of comparison is very unjust to the negro and very +hurtful to his teacher. We must not forget heredity; we must compare +the negro as to education in schools in 1884 with 1864. The white man +has behind him a thousand years of the influences that enter into our +best education. Yet how much he has to learn! How much easier for +white pupils to learn books than virtue—how much easier to acquire +knowledge than wisdom! Let us have patience with each other. Let us +also settle down to steady work, steady giving and constant praying. +This is a work for the next hundred years—and more.—<i>The Advance.</i></p> + +<hr class="quarter" /> + +<p>The feeling is too prevalent, even among Christians, that "the only +good Indian is a dead Indian." If parents would put into the hands of +their children reports of our missionaries, so they could see what is +being done for the Indians, instead of letting them get their +opinions of the Indian race from newspaper articles and from books of +Indian wars, in which the rifle and scalping knife were the only +arguments used, much prejudice would be removed and the missions +among Indians would be better sustained. Further, if parents +themselves would take the above advice, it would be time and money +well spent, as some grown-up children might learn as +well.—<i>Correspondent in St. Louis Evangelist.</i></p> + +<hr class="quarter" /> + +<p>Bishop H.

What is its object? "Mutual watch +and care; arrangement for special seasons of worship in connection +with the missions, the appointment of brethren to preach at stated +times and places, and a certain measure of mutual aid and relief." A +grand object, surely. The Central Association, with three branches, +is in San Francisco. In other parts of the State there are nine +branches. The total membership is 378.

This strikes out seven of the most +important years of the University's history. The date of destruction +should have been 1877. As many of our friends in visiting the +International Exposition at New Orleans took occasion to visit +Straight University, and may have received catalogues of the same, we +deem it proper to call attention to this mistake.</p> + +<hr class="section" /> + +<h2>THE SOUTH.</h2> + +<hr class="quarter" /> + +<h3>BEREA COLLEGE, KY.</h3> + + +<p>The Berea College Commencement was held June 17-24. There was present +a number of distinguished men from abroad, among whom may be +mentioned Roswell Smith, of the <i>Century Magazine</i>, New York; Geo. W. +Cable, the well-known author; Rev. Washington Gladden, D. D., Rev. +Robert West, of the Chicago <i>Advance</i>; Hon. Cassius M. Clay, and +Judge Beckner, of Kentucky. Roswell Smith made a gift of $5,000 to +the institution. We make the following extract from the baccalaureate +sermon of Prof. Wright, in which he ably discusses the question of +caste:</p> + +<p>"However long this state of things may continue, do not despairingly +conclude that it is never to be broken down. The stars in their +courses fight against injustice and folly. The very stones of the +field are in league with those who are on the side of equity and +fairness. Any region, small or large, that persists in a separation +of races in its hotels, railroads, schools and churches, dooms itself +to an inferior rank in all the departments of its life—in its +business as effectively as in its intelligence and its piety.</p> + +<p>"It costs more to keep up two sets of hotels than one. It costs more +to build railroad stations with separate waiting-rooms for two races +than to build them with accommodations for ladies and gentlemen +without regard to race. It costs more to run trains, if separate +passenger cars must be provided for two races on every train. This +cost will delay the building of railroads in the first place, and +this can only be met by higher rates of fare, which will impede +business progress.</p> +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_222" id="Page_222">[Pg 222]</a></span></p> +<p>"It costs more to maintain a double system of public schools than to +provide for all the children under a single system. This increases +taxes, while at the same time the schools cannot be as efficient, and +this diminishes intelligence. For in scattered farming communities, +the districts must be so large under the double system that many +families are out of reach of the school. And the number of towns that +can have graded schools is greatly reduced by the requirement that no +school shall receive pupils of more than one race. Normal schools are +also made more difficult to maintain, and teachers' institutes +rendered less efficient. A lower average of intelligence is as +inevitable under such adverse conditions in the educational machinery +of a State, as slower speed in a racehorse is inevitable when he +carries heavy weight.</p> + +<p>"Similar things may be said of churches. Any community that insists +on separate churches for different races dooms itself to a lower +grade of spiritual experience and a lower degree of Christian +activity. How must every good work be retarded if, in addition to the +separation of Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians, and others which +we find nearly everywhere, there must also be a further separation of +these by races; if in every neighborhood, however scattered the +population, there must be a white Methodist church with its white +Methodist preacher, and also a colored Methodist church with its +colored Methodist preacher, a white Baptist church and preacher, and +also a colored Baptist church and preacher, a white Presbyterian +church and preacher, and so on through the list. In many cases such +churches have service only once in a month, and the members attend no +other in the meantime. It is plain that of two regions alike in other +respects, the one that insists on race distinctions in the worship of +the one God and Father of us all, and will not allow men of different +races to stand side by side in doing Christian work, must maintain +its religious institutions at greater cost and with less efficiency +because of this race separation.</p> + +<p>"The region that treats all men impartially in its churches will have +the advantage in religion and morals. The region that knows no race +distinctions in its schools will have the advantage in intelligence. +The region that is color-blind on its public conveyances and in its +places of business, will have the advantage in business, for it can +equip and run steamboats and railroads more economically and conduct +factories at lower cost, while its higher average intelligence will +make it a producer of better goods. All these elements will conspire +to give the impartial community precedence in wealth, in literature, +in art, in social attractiveness, as well as in a high average +intelligence; in orderly habits, and in both the power and the will +to achieve noble things. Power is coming into the hands of those who +choose righteousness. Let all the commonwealths in our broad land +know that only by treating all men with impartiality can they put +themselves in alliance with the silent but irresistible forces of +social and political economy. There is no future for caste-practicing +communities but decadence and increasing inferiority."</p> + +<hr class="section" /> + +<h3>ANNIVERSARY AT TALLADEGA.</h3> + + +<p>Talladega College, chartered in 1869, had its fifteenth anniversary +from June 14 to 18. The Cassedy school gave an exhibition full of +interest, and indicative of the good work done there, on the +preceding Friday evening. The college chapel was well filled at all +these exercises, and sometimes was too strait for the audience. The +attendance from town, especially of our white friends, was +exceptionally large, and we have never heard so many and so +appreciative words of<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_223" id="Page_223">[Pg 223]</a></span> commendation before. Rev. Dr. Worrell, +principal of a boys' school in Talladega, who taught in our Swayne +Hall before the War, when it was a Baptist College, was present, +leading us in a prayer memorable for its sympathy and fervency. +Certainly the work of Talladega College was never so strongly +intrenched in the regard of the people of Alabama as now.</p> + +<p>The full course of exercises for commencement was enacted in good +order, including an able Baccalaureate by Dr. Strieby, Missionary +sermon by Rev. J. W. Roberts, Dallas, Texas, one of our theological +graduates, and an address by Dr. Roy, exercises of our two literary +societies, prize speaking and essays, public examinations, orations +and essays on Commencement Day, and ending with a reception at the +President's house. Others can judge better of the worth of some of +these parts than the writer and his associates, but to us they seemed +good. We were greatly encouraged, and feel that our friends and +patrons would have been pleased had they been present.</p> + +<p>The Alumni Association, formed three years ago, was represented on +Commencement Day by Mrs. L. L. Wilson, who read an essay on "Homes +and How to Make Them," and by Rev. J. W. Roberts, whose theme was +"Exceptional Greatness." That afternoon the Alumni held a meeting in +the college chapel, when representatives from States as far away as +Arkansas and Texas were present, and others were heard from by +letter.</p> + +<p>At the business meeting it was determined to begin an Alumni fund, in +aid either of members of the Association or the College.</p> + +<p>The Exhibition of Industrial Work, both of the boys and girls, +attracted much attention and warm commendation. The Slater Shop, with +its facilities for instruction in much wood, little iron and some +paint, made its first annual display, and those who believe in little +other education for the child of the late slave, and those who differ +from them, all agreed in the great advantages of this industrial +training. The work exhibited was good; some of it very choice.</p> + +<p>We feel that the College never had a better anniversary; take it all +in all, never as good; but with continued help such as we need, by +the favor of God this may well be dwarfed by the greater result of +the near future. We are looking for that help with increasing +confidence.</p> + +<div class="right"><span class="smcap"> H. S. DeForest.</span></div> + +<hr class="section" /> + +<h3>TOUGALOO COMMENCEMENT.</h3> + + +<p>The unsurpassed wealth of our roses had just left their vanishing +fragrance on the air, only the Cherokees being left in profusion to +lend their peculiar charm to our closing exercises, but the grand old +oaks standing like guardian sentinels around the grounds, in all the +freshness of their early leafage and festooned with the Spanish moss, +ever faithful to all seasons, gave to the place a patriarchal +appearance, and an air of seclusion from temptation. The healthful +cedar boughs and buds bestowed their fragrance like a closing +benediction.</p> + +<p>Sec. Powell came to us with his strong earnest words of cheer and a +lecture on Slave Music, which our young people could illustrate and +well appreciate. Gov. Lowry expressed a hearty commendation of the +exhibition of work from the industrial department, as well as the +orations, essays, dialogue, and declamation. The colloquy on our +reading-room indicated that good use had been made of that room, even +if the number of volunteers for furnishing news items after dinner +had not always been as numerous as might be desired. Supt. Smith told +us that many of the best teachers in the State come from this school. +Dr. Galloway and the city fathers of Jackson showed their +appreciation of the sentiments expressed by the young people, and we +heartily wished that the dear, good, noble-hearted<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_224" id="Page_224">[Pg 224]</a></span> workers of the +North could have been present, who have so generously opened their +purses to educate and fit "our brother in black" for leading his race +from a darkness more than "skin deep" to noble citizenship. We wish +you could realize, as you only can by seeing it, what a stimulus +every such work is to the white people of the South, for as Dr. +Haygood stated in his closing address, "though Northern money +generously erected these buildings and pays a large share of the +salaries here, yet the State pays the young men and women who go out +from this school to teach in the country schools."</p> + +<p>Dear friends, your investments are bringing in grand returns, but the +needs of this race are very great yet. It is sad to see the number +who come to this institution with means to pay their expenses for +<i>only a part of the year</i>, hoping to come back another year, and +trusting that in some way they may be able to continue their studies.</p> + +<p>A students' aid fund is much needed to assist worthy pupils. +Aspirations are aroused that cannot be quenched. The daily lessons in +keeping rooms tidy, in personal habits, in doing thoroughly whatever +is undertaken, cannot be lost, even if pupils remain but a short +time. The sentiment, that to work is an honor, to be idle a disgrace, +is so infused into their daily life that we fully believe greater +progress will be seen in the coming years than has been seen in the +past. The spirit of those who have labored with these ardent +aspirants for higher, better, nobler things has so entered into and +permeated their very being, that it cannot lie dormant. Arouse and +cultivate the best there is in this race, and you have something +worth making a sacrifice for. God is showing us, by the way, that +this is His own blessed work. We do not have to wait long years to +reap; the sheaves are abundant every year. In one of our late +prayer-meetings special causes for thanksgiving was the topic. There +were many expressions of gratitude "for the Christian influence of +our school." One young man said: "I am just as thankful for what I +have learned in the workshop as in the school-room." After hearing of +the 700,000 one-room log-cabins of the South, and the need there is +of skilled workmen, we felt like singing an added song of praise as +we looked through the work exhibited in wood, tin, iron, and <i>cloth</i>, +and saw the promise of better things. Surely the young men who can +exhibit such work will not allow their mothers, wives, and sisters to +live in cabins through whose open roofs the stars are visible when +they shine.</p> + +<p>You would travel far to find a more temptingly spread table than the +girls of Tougaloo are taught to prepare—all the eatables of their +own make, even the delicious butter. Nowhere in New England need you +look for a nicer-kept cabin and yard than some of those on the little +homesteads lately purchased by President Pope, for one of his ideas +of missionary work is to help the colored man <i>get a home</i>, having +for corner-stones "Industry, Economy, Temperance, and Family Virtue."</p> + +<hr class="section" /> + +<h3>TILLOTSON INSTITUTE, AUSTIN, TEXAS.</h3> + + +<p>The third of June witnessed the close of another year of successful +work at Tillotson Institute. Written examinations were held May +26-29. The results of this work, in a shape convenient for +inspection, were placed in the reading room, and attracted no little +attention. Oral public examinations were held June 1 and 2. These +showed faithful work on the part of both teachers and pupils. The +classes in United States history and geometry deserve special +mention. The excitement of the occasion was a little too much for +some of the young people, leading one to say that Riel was the +Governor-General of Canada, while another<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_225" id="Page_225">[Pg 225]</a></span> remarked that Florida, +being discovered on Easter Sunday, and being a land of flowers, was +named the "Mayflower." These blunders, however, were speedily +corrected by the pupils themselves.</p> + +<p>The rhetorical exercises of Tuesday evening called out a very fine +audience. The chapel was filled to overflowing. The exercises +consisted of the usual programme of choruses, quartets, recitations, +declamations, essays, etc. Mr. Edward Wilson's rendering of his +translation of Cicero's First Oration against Catiline is deserving +of special notice, though all the parts were given without a single +break or failure of memory. We observe our students have great +capacity for "rising to occasions."</p> + +<p>In the midst of the programme we were most agreeably surprised by the +appearance of Secretary Powell, who happily closed the entertainment +by a brief but stirring address.</p> + +<p>The anniversary exercises of Wednesday morning made a fitting climax +for the series of meetings. Though not a "commencement" occasion, yet +it was distinguished from other days of the closing week, and from +previous anniversaries, by the presentation of "certificates" to two +young men who have completed the "Elementary Normal Course." These +young men remain with us to pursue a further course of study. The +address of one of them, Mr. A. S. Terrell, on the subject "Our Duty," +is especially worthy of notice. The subject was considered from the +stand-point of the advantages afforded colored people. "It is true," +he said, "we must bear many hard things, but let us look on the +bright side. Let us consider and improve our opportunities. Let us +accept the good, from whatever source it comes. To join with +Communists, labor-unions, and other discontented classes, in a chorus +of fault-finding and censure, because we cannot have everything we +want, is to take the sure road to the defeat of our most cherished +objects." These are timely words, and they reveal a state of feeling +among colored people which finds all too fertile a soil in the +tendency to ignore, or discriminate, or, at best, grant but a +supercilious recognition, which still in great measure controls +Southern sentiment. The colored people are naturally loyal and +conservative. It is possible, now, so to develop these qualities, +that they shall be national bulwarks. Some time it may be too late, +and if reaction comes it will be terrible.</p> + +<p>The attitude of many representative men of the South, however, is +most encouraging. Our anniversary exercises were honored by the +presence of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction and the +County Superintendent of Travis Co., Hon. B. M. Baker and Judge +Fullmore. In their addresses at the conclusion of our programme, both +gentlemen spoke with enthusiasm of the great progress in educational +matters that has been made in Texas during the past five years, among +both white and colored. The magnificent school fund of Texas, as +rapidly as it becomes available, is devoted to the interests of both +races without discrimination. Mr. Baker emphasized the fact that +notwithstanding the liberal provision for a State system of schools, +it would be many years before they could dispense with the schools +maintained by benevolent societies. The latter must be the main +agency for the training of teachers. For the present, the State must +devote her energies to the building of school-houses, and the +establishment and maintenance of common schools, without attempting +very much in the line of higher education.</p> + +<p>Both gentlemen spoke in high praise of Tillotson, and of the ability +and trustworthy character of the teachers she has sent out.</p> + +<p>Secretary Powell made the concluding address, and brought the meeting +to its highest point of enthusiasm. The presence of these men +representing educational<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_226" id="Page_226">[Pg 226]</a></span> interests, which not long ago seemed to +have nothing whatever in common, their interchange of courtesies, and +their expression of mutual dependence each upon the other, made the +occasion both memorable and very full of suggestion.</p> + +<div class="right"><span class="smcap">J.

C., occupied four days of the last week of +June.</p> + +<p>The week opened on Sunday, June 21, with a sermon to the graduating +class, by the Rev. E. T. Hooker, pastor of our A. M. A. church.</p> + +<p>The morning hours of Wednesday and Thursday were devoted to oral +examinations in all the departments. A fine display of maps, drawing +books, object drawings and original designs found scores of admirers. +The sewing done by the industrial classes made a creditable exhibit, +and the garments found ready purchasers. The remainder of the school +hours of each day were given to rhetorical exercises in the chapel of +the institution.</p> + +<p>On Wednesday, <span class="smcap">p. m.</span>, the sub-normal grades entertained their friends. +Promptly at 12 m., they filed into the chapel to a march from the +piano. Music, recitations, gesture and sewing songs pleasantly filled +an hour and a half. A composition, "The New Colony," weaving in, in a +humming fashion, the surnames of some of the teachers and pupils, was +highly appreciated by the crowded house of parents and friends.</p> + +<p>Thursday, <span class="smcap">p. m.</span>, the "Normals" held the Fort. The aim had not been to +foster theatrical tastes, nor to produce startling dramatic effects, +but to render in a natural and easy manner, historic, patriotic and +practical selections, both of poetry and prose. Music, vocal and +instrumental, lent its charm to the general enjoyment.</p> + +<p>Friday was wholly devoted to those whom Avery each year "delighteth +to honor." A galaxy of twenty-two formed the class of '85. Beginning +promptly at 10 <span class="smcap">a. m.</span>, seventeen earnest, womanly young women and five +faithful young men, expressed their opinions on their chosen +subjects, in the form of essay or oration. From salutatory to +valedictory, the quiet of the packed room attested the interest taken +in the evolution of each theme. The colored people of Charleston are, +intellectually, in advance of those of most other Southern cities. +Before the "slight misunderstanding," their native city was called +the "Athens of the South," and, breathing the same air as the more +favored race, they naturally imbibed some of its cultured modes of +thought. The presentation of diplomas by the Principal, Prof. Wm. M. +Bristoll, the singing of the Class Song and the congratulations of +friends closed the happy day.</p> + +<div class="right"><span class="smcap">Anna M.

C., on Thursday, June 25. The annual address +was delivered at eleven o'clock <span class="smcap">a. m.</span>, by the Rev. T. E. McDonald, of +Columbia, to an unusually large audience, and enlisted earnest +attention. It will, we trust, be long remembered by those who heard +it. It was followed by a short, earnest talk from the Rev. H. M. +Young, presiding elder of this district in the A. M. E. Church. The +singing was by the entire school and was loudly applauded. This was +followed by an intermission of an hour and a half, during which time +friends held fellowship with friends and betook themselves to the +contents of abundantly laden refreshment baskets.</p> +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_227" id="Page_227">[Pg 227]</a></span></p> +<p>The afternoon exercises consisted of singing, recitations and +dialogues by the children of the primary department. Our large hall +was bright with flowers, flags and happy faces, but was by far too +small to accommodate the immense throng seeking admission. The +calisthenic exercises and selections were well rendered and won many +complimentary remarks. At 5 o'clock a memorial service was held for a +member of the school who, the year before, took a very prominent part +in our closing exercises, but who, after months of patient suffering, +entered into rest April 6. The annual exhibition came off at 8 +o'clock <span class="smcap">p. m.</span> The programme consisted of sixteen parts, interspersed +with music. We were favored during the day with music from two brass +bands. By competent judges the declamations were pronounced superior +to any heard on former occasions of a similar character.</p> + +<p>The attendance of the citizens from the town was a very pleasant +feature. Brewer Normal has made a deep impression on the white +people. They acknowledge the good work that it has done and is doing, +and believe in the possibilities that are before it. The students in +attendance during the year were 168, an advance upon that of any +previous year. We have had much for which to be thankful during the +first year connected with this institute; but let this be an +inspiration leading us to greater achievements during the year to +come. On Friday morning, amid a "sweet confusion" of tears, laughter +and farewells, the halls of the school were closed for the summer +vacation, and the students boarded the trains to return to their +homes.</p> + +<div class="right"><span class="smcap">J.

The +student will find in his way numberless difficulties which seem +higher than mountains, lower than valleys, and darker than any forest +glade. The Alpine traveler knows that he will meet many a rugged +steep, that he must cross many a mountain torrent on slender footing, +make his way through many a gloomy valley. He does not give up, but +presses forward with eagerness and courage, until he reaches the +summit and gazes as a victor on the glorious scenes around.</p> + +<p>So is it with the student who is determined to become useful to his +fellow-men and to God. His path is strewn with difficulties all the +way. He meets discouragements and back-sets which seem to him +sometimes insurmountable, and he will need all his courage to keep on +to the end. In our Southern country there are, it seems to me, many +difficulties which do not exist in all parts of our land; but as I +hear our teachers tell of their struggles and trials, I conclude +there is no broad, smooth way along which one may walk comfortably up +to the temple of knowledge.</p> + +<p>Many who are exceedingly anxious to become students have in early +life lost their parents, and, being poor, are unable to provide for +themselves, and unless some helping hand is stretched forth, must +remain in ignorance. There are others, who, though in good +circumstances, are not able to appreciate the value of learning, and +so care nothing for it. Again, there are many communities in which +the people, ignorant themselves, care nothing about the education of +their children, and will make no provisions for schools. I know of +settlements of five hundred or more inhabitants among whom there are +scarcely any competent preachers, no good schools or teachers, no +missionary work going on, and the people in a very<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_228" id="Page_228">[Pg 228]</a></span> degraded state. +Ignorant parents, unless persuaded, are not apt to attend to the +education of their children. It is a disadvantage to any one aiming +to prepare for future usefulness to meet with either of these +unfavorable circumstances that I have mentioned, and yet it is the +case with thousands of our boys and girls. The principles which ought +to be impressed upon the children's minds while young are neglected, +and false ideas and degraded impressions are allowed to govern them. +Thus, they are robbed of an early training in those things which are +the true foundations of a noble character.</p> + +<p>Here are the plantations in this Southland around many of which yet +cluster the stains of slavery, and to look upon them in all their +degradation is enough to cause a young man or woman who was once +acting in accordance with their sinfulness, but now trying to aim +higher, to give up and declare that it is useless to try to elevate +the great mass of our people to a high standard of citizenship and +usefulness, and it is only when we remember that the hand of the +great God is in the work, that one can have any hope. How many to-day +are idling away their time, breaking the Sabbath, engaging in sinful +sports, violating the State laws, disturbing the peace of quiet +citizens, disobeying their Supreme Ruler!</p> + +<p>We have glanced at the dark side of this subject. Let us now turn to +the bright. God has raised up noble men who have loved us and labored +for us—men whose names are familiar to all, and who will be loved +and honored through all generations. Can we be discouraged when we +think it was for us John Brown died? When we think of Abraham +Lincoln, Charles Sumner, and all that host of great men who saw the +evils our race suffered and so nobly stood up for us, we will not +despair.</p> + +<p>Our Christian friends at the North have given us liberty and +citizenship. Noble Lincoln and brave Grant were to us almost what +Moses and Aaron were to the Israelites. These same people are +mastering another great problem. As soon as hostilities ceased they +placed institutions of learning within our reach. Under the A. M. A. +and other associations, schools and colleges are erected in the South +for our advancement and training. Here is Straight University, +founded at the very centre of bitterness. From the regions round +about she gathers young men and woman, teaches them the truths of +Christianity, educates them, and then sends them abroad to fill the +pulpits, to gather in the lost ones. Trained by those who have had +the best education the North could give them, they go out to teach +the children, who, but for them, could have no good teaching. The +missionary cause carries light to the homes that are in darkness.</p> + +<p>It is a great encouragement, not only to us but to our parents also, +to know that we are acquiring an education from the hands of these +Christian helpers, so that we can become useful in the world, good +citizens, skilled in art and science, and in all branches of +knowledge; to become recognized in the best society, and to secure +comfortable homes for ourselves; to know that we are taught true +principles of Christianity, so that we can use our learning aright, +build up God's kingdom, promote peace and happiness upon earth, and +by and by, when that Eye which looked down from heaven and saw the +shackles of slavery struck from our hands and souls, sees fit, we +shall be the instruments in carrying the gospel of Christ across the +sea to our fellow-men who inhabit the dark continent. Difficulties +there are, many and great; but nothing is too difficult for the +Almighty, and He is our helper and always will help if we ask Him.</p> + +<p>The chance to get a good training is in the reach of nearly every +one, if he will only try. We are grateful to our benefactors and to +God for these blessings. May His name be praised and may He reward +his servants in the end!</p> + +<div class="right"><span class="smcap">C. W.

C. H. HOWARD.</div> + + +<p>A private letter before me from a ranchman says: "Great excitement +prevails all over this part of Arizona from the breaking out of the +Chiricahua Apaches. We expected them here, as this is one of their +old trails and watering places. We kept guard night and day. But they +crossed into New Mexico, to the north of us."</p> + +<p>The old roaming ground of the Chiricahuas was Southern Arizona. For +many years they defied all attempts to subdue them. Their famous +chief, Cochise, refused to make any treaty or even to parley with the +representatives of the Government.</p> + +<p>In 1873, under Grant's "peace policy," General O. O. Howard was sent +to Arizona and New Mexico to make treaties with such of the Indians +as could be reached. After he had visited many other tribes, +including several of the Apache family, and located them peaceably, +he determined to make one earnest effort to meet Cochise. The +experience of twenty years proved that it would be vain to try to +capture him. One white man was found, a scout and interpreter, known +as Captain Jefferds, who spoke Apache and who was regarded by Cochise +as a friend. He consented to try and bring about a parley with +Cochise, but declared no troops must be near. General Howard took one +aide-de-camp, and with Jefferds and two friendly Apaches, rode for +two days until they came near the stronghold. Jefferds then sent +forward the two Indians with a message. They went cautiously, +kindling fires from point to point, and receiving answering signals. +The next day one of them returned, bringing word that Cochise would +see the General and his party, and that the messenger was to guide +them to a designated place of meeting. Cochise was not there on the +arrival of the party, but some of his head men appeared soon after, +had a talk with Jefferds and were introduced to the General, all +showing signs of a marked impression, from the fact that the General +had lost his right arm and carried no weapons. His Apache name was +ever afterwards the "The One-Armed Chief." Some of the Chiricahuas +then mounted and rode away, and not long after a body of Indians came +galloping up. A powerfully-built man, fully armed with rifle, +revolvers and knife, dismounted and first took Jefferds by the hand, +and then turned and frankly greeted the General. The details of that +interview, of the stay of the treaty-party in the stronghold as +Cochise's guests, for two days; their experience the first night, +when they were awakened in the middle of the night and the entire +camp was moved to a still more inaccessible natural fortification, +far up in the mountains, owing to an apprehended attack from a +militia company which had pursued some marauding Chiricahuas the day +before—all would form an interesting and romantic chapter of Indian +history.</p> + +<p>The treaty stipulated that all raiding and marauding should cease; +that the Chiricahuas should confine themselves to a certain defined +tract of country; that Captain Jefferds, whom Cochise always called +his brother, would be their agent, and that necessary food would be +allowed them. A definite time was granted in which Cochise was to +communicate the terms of the treaty to his absent chiefs, some of +whom were in old Mexico or other distant places.</p> +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_230" id="Page_230">[Pg 230]</a></span></p> +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 561px;"> +<img src="images/img230.jpg" width="561" height="599" alt="INDIAN SUMMER TENT." title="" /> +<span class="caption">INDIAN SUMMER TENT.</span> +</div> + +<p>The treaty was kept by Cochise and the Chiricahuas for nine years, as +long as he lived. They were greatly incensed and felt that they +were <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_231" id="Page_231">[Pg 231]</a></span>wronged when Capt. Jefferds was displaced, the reservation +marked out in the treaty was taken away, and they were removed from +their traditional home and herded upon the San Carlos reservation +with other tribes, some of whom they greatly despised. This, however, +they still bore patiently or without manifest resentment until +October, 1881. At that time there was trouble with other San Carlos +tribes. The army marched upon the reservation. The next night the +Chiricahuas left. They started in the direction of their old haunts, +met freighting teams, murdered the drivers and took the horses, +killed cattle and stole other horses from ranchmen, had one or two +slight skirmishes with the United States cavalry and escaped into +Mexico.</p> + +<p>Gen. Crook's campaign into Mexico in pursuit of them is familiar to +all. He captured their women and children and old people, and in +order, doubtless, to induce the leaders, who were hidden in the +fastnesses of the Sierra Madre mountains, to surrender, promised +terms that have been severely criticised. Those leaders, like +Geronomo, whose hands were stained with murder, were allowed to come +back unmolested upon the reservation, to retain their arms, and to +feel that, instead of conquered foes of the government, and criminals +justly and duly punished, they had outwitted their white enemy and +dictated their own terms of a peace to be broken at will.</p> + +<p>Should not these Chiricahua leaders, having deliberately broken their +treaty, and known to be incorrigibly criminal, have been at least +confined where they could neither incite nor lead more murderous +raids? It was neither a dictate of humanity nor of true statesmanship +to set them loose with arms in their hands. One of the essential +steps in the civilization of any tribe is to demonstrate that crimes +are to be promptly and adequately punished.</p> + +<p>But the utter neglect of the government, and of all missionary +bodies, to send to these Chiricahuas any teachers or to make any +earnest attempt to civilize them, during the entire nine years of +their peaceable stay on the reservation, should, no doubt, be duly +weighed when considering the question of ultimate responsibility for +this outbreak.—<i>The Chicago Standard.</i></p> + +<hr class="section" /> + +<h2>THE CHINESE.</h2> + +<hr class="quarter" /> + +<h3>A TOUR AMONG THE MISSIONS.</h3> + +<div class="center">BY REV. W. C. POND.</div> + + +<p>Since writing my last account of our work for the <span class="smcap">Missionary</span>, I have +visited several of our Missions in the interior of the State, and, as +far as I can in the space at my command, I will recount my +observations.</p> + +<p>I. <span class="smcap">Stockton</span>.—Except as, for a short time, more than thirty years +ago, something was done by Rev. S. V. Blakeslee in San Francisco, +Stockton was the first point in California occupied by the A. M. A. +The work was continued there with scarcely a month's intermission +from 1871 till about a year ago, when under financial pressure it was +closed for a time. The intention was to resume as soon as the opening +of a new fiscal year gave me the right to draw against a new +appropriation. Meanwhile it was hoped that a temporary suspension +might lead to a greater interest on the part of the Chinese +themselves, and that we should begin to get urgent requests from them +with pledges of coöperation such as had sometimes come to us from +other places. It was all a mistake for which your Superintendent is +chastened, and repents. When we were ready to resume, we<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_232" id="Page_232">[Pg 232]</a></span> found the +convenient room which the school had occupied so many years rented +for quite other purposes, and no quarters could be obtained except at +a rental too exorbitant. Most of those among the pupils who had been +specially benefited, and whose urgencies we should otherwise have +heard, had moved elsewhere, and the Macedonian cry which we hoped +would put us on vantage ground for future operations, did not come to +our ears. The Chinese are very numerous in Stockton—at least 1,000 +constantly there, and probably 1,000 more who, working here and there +in the great San Joaquin Valley, make Stockton their rendezvous. I +ought not to have suspended work among them, but rather with faith +and courage I should have pressed it with greater zeal, and if hearts +seemed harder there than elsewhere, I should have poured in upon them +more abundantly the light and love of Christ. All that I could +accomplish on this visit was to arrange conditionally for a room in a +building not yet completed, and to intensify my own determination +somehow to carry to those dark, needy souls "the <i>fullness</i> of the +blessing of Christ."</p> + +<p>II. <span class="smcap">Sacramento</span>.—It was good to come into the warm spiritual +atmosphere of our Sacramento mission. The tokens of God's blessing on +our work there are unmistakable. Our readers have heard recently from +our helper, Chin Toy, and I forbear going into details. The best +result of my visit was in the decision of one of our pupils who had +been highly commended to me by his brethren and by Mrs. Carrington, +to enter into missionary work. His name is Chin Kel. I am all the +more hopeful about him because he is distrustful of himself. This was +the only ground of hesitancy with him. The fact that it involved a +<i>very considerable pecuniary sacrifice</i> does not seem to have weighed +with him at all. He will be stationed at Marysville, relieving our +excellent brother Joe Jet for work elsewhere.</p> + +<p>III. <span class="smcap">Marysville</span>.—Here, too, I found comfort with the brethren, and +after the usual exercises of the school were finished, at nine +o'clock <span class="smcap">p. m.</span>, we sat down together at the Lord's table. One brother +was baptized and received to the church. All the resident members of +the church were present, and, if I mistake not, we broke the bread +not only at about the same hour of the evening, but with the same +number of communicants as were gathered round the table in that upper +chamber at Jerusalem when this sacrament was first observed.</p> + +<p>IV. <span class="smcap">Oroville</span>.—The next two evenings were spent at Oroville, +twenty-eight miles further north. I took our faithful helper, Joe +Jet, with me, and he will spend a month or more in that mission. Two +of the Marysville brethren also accompanied us, and one other was +already there. I invited them to be present because I proposed to +organize our Oroville brethren into a church. Too long already—too +long, not by months, only, but by years—we had waited, hoping that +the church already existing in Oroville would open its doors and +extend a brother's hand to these disciples; and we believed that they +ought not longer to be debarred the privileges of the sacraments and +of church fellowship. Several who in years past have given evidence +of conversion in connection with this mission, are now elsewhere. +Four young men, after careful examination, in which Joe Jet and the +Marysville brethren shared, were constituted into "The Bethany Church +of Oroville." Four others were believed to be Christians, but, as +being recent converts, were held under probation awhile, as is the +custom in our missions. When we sat down on Friday evening to the +Lord's table it was found that four other churches were informally +represented by members present, and thus, in some sense, the +fellowship of the churches was expressed.</p> + +<p>V. <span class="smcap">Tulare</span>.—My next visit was made to Tulare, in the southern part of +the San Joaquin Valley. I was greatly interested in what I found. My +hopes were more<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_233" id="Page_233">[Pg 233]</a></span> than realized. Believing that our work will be +permanent and fruitful, I bought, on my own responsibility, a lot, +and contracted for the erection of a comfortable Mission-house, which +having been put up with Californian speed, was dedicated on Monday, +May 18. I could not myself be present at the service, but Rev. D. +Goodsell, pastor of the Congregational Church, conducted it well. +There were songs and Scripture readings by the pupils, an address by +Ju Guy, the helper, giving in a brief and modest way his own +religious experience; addresses also by Bro. Goodsell and by Rev. Mr. +McMillan, of the M. E. Church; a collection which under the +circumstances was quite generous; and finally a banquet which the +pupils asked the privilege of providing for their friends.</p> + +<p>VI. <span class="smcap">Fresno</span>.—My last visit was at Fresno, the largest and most +promising town between Stockton and Los Angeles. Here I found fully +500 Chinese. Many more, doubtless, make their headquarters here. Ju +Guy accompanied me from Tulare, and in about six hours found five of +his countrymen who professed to be Christians. Three of these were +Baptists from Oregon, one a Methodist and one a Congregationalist. +All were ready to coöperate. The last one gave his name as Soo Hoo +Foo, and said that about eight years ago he began to believe in +Jesus, and united in San Francisco with our "Congregational +Association of Christian Chinese." Soon after this he left the city, +and ever since has been almost entirely destitute of Christian +instruction and companionship. Yet he had not relinquished his +purpose to follow Christ, and his heart warmed at once at the +prospect of a mission in Fresno. Our school was started there May 1, +and gives good promise of permanent usefulness. The teacher speaks in +glowing terms about Soo Hoo Foo, believing that he might be trained +for good service as a missionary. About this time will tell; but +certainly our faith may well be strengthened and our hearts gladdened +to see how the Good Shepherd knows and keeps His scattered lambs.</p> + +<hr class="section" /> + +<h2>BUREAU OF WOMAN'S WORK.</h2> + +<hr class="quarter" /> + +<div class="center">MISS D.

I. Miss Marsh writes:</p> + +<p>"Our third year of labor among the freedmen has just closed. We have +sent to about forty places 2,312 papers and pamphlets, 1,113 lesson +papers, 1,006 lesson cards, 174 tracts, 393 Scripture cards, 109 +Christmas and picture cards, 29 books of various kinds and 84 +lithographs; 66 letters and postals have been written. A box was sent +in October last to a pastor in Texas, with some articles of clothing, +'Barnes' Notes' and other books."</p> + +<p>Miss Marsh has received many letters from the missionaries, +gratefully acknowledging the help that the papers have been. One +writes: "I wish you could step in and see the little ones in their +several classes, how their eyes sparkle when the papers are given +out." Another: "It did me good to feel that one whom I had never seen +would interest herself in my work here in this isolated spot. I send +you my sincere thanks." A pastor says: "Our new church was dedicated +May 24. Our permanent existence began that day. The next Sabbath +twenty joined our Sunday-school, and the Sunday following seven more. +Nothing is so acceptable as your papers. Please send oftener, and +more with pictures, as my school is largely made up of little ones."</p> + +<p>The above are specimens of a great many letters that have been +received by Miss Marsh. We should be pleased to give still further +extracts from her interesting correspondence, but lack of space +forbids. She is engaged in doing a good work, and she has the +grateful appreciation of our missionaries in the field.</p> + +<hr class="section" /> + +<h3>INDUSTRIAL LETTER FROM LE MOYNE.</h3> + + +<p><span class="smcap">Dear Friends</span>: Thinking you would like to hear a word from "Le Moyne +Home" I will pen you a few lines. I wish you were here to see for +yourself what a nice happy family we are. The industrial classes take +a good share of my time. I am much pleased with the progress the +girls have made in sewing. They have a deal of pride in doing their +work nicely, and are always willing to take it out if not well done. +They have made ladies' and children's aprons, undergarments, +children's dresses, etc. Whenever they enter the sewing room with +torn or ragged garments I have them mend them the first thing, trying +to teach them that a stitch in time saves nine, and that a penny +saved is the same as a penny earned—two things hard for them to +learn.</p> + +<p>The class in cooking are interested as ever in their work. Not one of +the twenty-five girls has ever failed in any article of food she has +cooked. I give the girls who do the cooking a sample to take home. It +makes the mothers interested in their work. They bring frequently to +me something they have made at home. I have been very happy in my +work with them.</p> + +<div class="right">M. H.

But these figures do not tell the whole story. The +$40,000 debt to which we have made frequent reference hitherto is +still pending. To this must be added the $13,000 debt that came over +from last year. + +Only two working months are left. Our fiscal year ends with +September. From month to month we have published the figures. Our +friends have been able to trace for themselves just how the financial +struggle has been maintained. Donations from churches and +individuals have been kept distinct from legacies, and comparison +made with receipts of the corresponding months in the preceding year. +A varying story the figures have had to tell. + +There is a slave hymn: + + "I'm sometimes up and I'm sometimes down, + But still my soul is heavenly bound." + +That has been the case with our feelings as we have followed the rise +and fall in the comparisons. But amid all the fluctuations we have +had an abiding confidence that before the year ends there will be +such a rally by our friends that we shall come out free of debt. Are +we to be disappointed? We are approaching the time for decisive +thought and action. We cannot delay much longer. The figures this +month not only show that in the total we are a little behind, but +they also indicate that our reliance for relief must be in the living +and not in the dead. We have no large legacies that are available in +sight, and we have no reserve fund on which to draw to avert +disaster. Can the threatening deficit be averted? Can our friends +meet the demand? Yes, and much more. All that is needed is the will +to do; the ability exists. + +We appeal to the wealthy to take this matter upon their hearts and +minds at once. We beg them to send on, as soon as possible, generous +donations to our treasury. Their example at this time will be most +inspiring. + +We ask all our friends to do what they can. "The two mites" that in +the Lord's mode of estimating count more than many of the larger +gifts, we cannot possibly do without. The little rills and the small +streams must make their contributions, or the broad and deep river on +which we are to float and be saved will not form. + +Especially do we plead that _every_ Congregational church in the +country, large and small, without exception, will see to it that +before the end of next September it shall be on record as having +taken a contribution within the year for the American Missionary +Association. Pastors, deacons, church clerks and church treasurers, +will you not, for the sake of this endangered cause, for the sake of +the millions of Christ's poor for whom we labor, give us the help of +your influence to secure this? We believe you will. + + * * * * * + +The Thirty-ninth Annual Meeting of the American Missionary +Association will be held in Madison, Wisconsin, October 27-29. The +sermon will be preached by the Rev. Reuen Thomas, D. D., Brookline, +Mass. We hope to see the East well represented at this meeting, and +trust that as many of our friends as possible will make their plans +to be there. The brethren in the West will be glad to welcome them. +Additional notices will appear hereafter. + + * * * * * + +FAREWELL AND GREETING. + + +We regret to announce that Professor Salisbury, who for the past +three years has been Superintendent of our school work, this month +severs his connection officially with the A. M. A. He goes to take +charge of the State Normal School at Whitewater, Wis. This is the +school in which we found him as a professor, when we called him to +our ranks, and now we are called to give him up that he may go back +to stand at its head. We can ill afford to spare him. He is not only +a master in his knowledge of everything connected with schools, in +respect to organization, discipline and best methods of teaching, but +he is also a man of remarkable executive ability. + +When he entered our work he certainly came into the kingdom for a day +that had been providentially prepared. The work had taken on massive +proportions. All over the South our schools had been planted. These +schools were branches of the same tree; they had a common trunk and +drew their life and spirit from the same soil. But, separated so far +from one another, as many of them were, there came to be a felt +necessity that some one competent to care for their common interests, +while recognizing at the same time their separate prerogatives and +rights, must be found. Multiplied variety necessarily had +characterized their development, and as a consequence, the unity of +their origin and aim had been endangered. That is a law of nature. We +had been brought to see and feel this. We looked around to find the +man equal to the task involved. It was not easy to find him. We +realized the difficulty. Our workers realized it. It would not have +been strange if we had made a mistake. A rare combination of +qualifications was demanded. We believed that Professor Salisbury +possessed these qualifications. We invited him to take up the work. +He accepted. He entered, and continued in it down to the last moment +he held the office, with all his heart and soul, and now that he has +felt constrained to leave us we are glad, not only on his account, +but also on our own, unreservedly to bear testimony that, we believe, +no mistake was made when he was appointed. + +He has rendered the American Missionary Association signal service, +and when we remember how intimately the work of this Association is +connected with the welfare of the nation, it is not too much to say +that he has in these three years of hard and faithful work rendered +signal service to the whole land. Our school work has steadily grown +in efficiency and power ever since he took it up, and the general +cause of education all over the South has been benefited by the +impulse his teaching, character and devotion have inspired. Not alone +the colored schools, but the white schools as well, have been the +gainers. By his lectures and instruction given in Normal Institutes, +and by his personal contact with the leading educators of the South, +he has brought in no small degree a knowledge of the most approved +methods of teaching to the attention of Southern educators, and has +done much to develop a sentiment in favor of popular education among +the people. + +It is a high compliment to his ability the State of Wisconsin pays in +calling him back and investing him with the principalship of the same +school from which we took him; and, as we reluctantly return him, we +can wish for him no greater blessing than that the same success may +attend his labors in the field to which he goes that, with God's +favor, has so abundantly crowned him in the one he leaves. + + * * * * * + +"The king is dead; long live the king." We have just been speeding +the parting guest. We now turn to welcome the coming. That we have +done the "speeding" reluctantly does not abate the heartiness with +which we now do the "welcoming." To such an extent had our church +work been systematized under Superintendent Roy, and our school work +under Superintendent Salisbury, that when we had to transfer the one +to the Western District Secretaryship, and had to lose the other, we +felt that the two positions might possibly be merged. The very +success of these workers had made this practicable. Not that the work +of the two could be done by any one man. They are not that kind of +men, as our constituents well know. They are both of them drivers. It +is almost enough to discourage any ordinary man to see either of them +work. A hard position to fill surely. We are glad to say that after a +good deal of searching we believe we have found the man. + +We have appointed Rev. C. J. Ryder, of Medina, Ohio, as our Field +Superintendent. He accepts the appointment and will take up the work +the first of September. He will be located at Cincinnati, from which +point, by reason of its central location and excellent railroad +facilities, he will be able to reach out in all directions. A +successful pastor--an able preacher, having had experience and +success as a teacher, and in addition possessing already considerable +knowledge of our work, he will enter the field with the opinions of +all those who know him best united that he will make it a success. We +welcome him to the ranks of our fellowship in the glorious cause of +bringing the light of the gospel and Christian education to the poor; +we welcome him to the rich joy the expressions of their heart-felt +gratitude will cause him to experience. We welcome him to the love +and confidence and co-operation of our missionaries whose hearts will +be made glad by his visits and whose toil will be made lighter by his +counsel; above all we welcome him to the rewards God bestows upon +those who are ready, if need be, to surrender everything that they +may follow Christ. + + * * * * * + +HIGHER EDUCATION OF THE NEGRO. + +REV. W. W. PATTON, D. D. + + +Many strangely adopt this wrong principle with regard to the negro +race--that they are to be treated not simply as men, but as colored +men, as members of a peculiar and inferior race, about whom one must +not reason as he would about others, and especially about white men. +One writer thinks that his eyes have just been opened to the truth, +for he says: "Like most Northern men, I have made the mistake of +judging the black by the standard of the white. A freer intercourse +with him and a closer study of his characteristics have shown me that +he is not to be so judged, and that the training adapted to the white +man is not adapted to the black." In any reasonable sense of these +words, we regard them as involving the same error which so long +hindered emancipation--the idea that negroes could not be expected to +act as would other men in the same circumstances. It used to be +argued that freed negroes would refuse to labor, and would simply +plunder and massacre. The history of the last twenty years, and the +enormous crops raised at the South since the war, have disproved this +absurdity, although the writer quoted still has his doubts, for he +says of the negro: "We must take him as he is; and because we have +not done this, his freedom, which has been of inestimable value to +the Southern white man, has until now been a most questionable +blessing to the negro!" One who can utter that doubt has some defect +of vision, which disqualifies him from reaching safe conclusions +respecting the colored race. Now, every race has certain +peculiarities, and so has every nation, and to these we have a degree +of regard in our intercourse with them. In minor matters, we +remember, in our dealings, that this man is a Scotchman, and that man +a Welshman, and that a Frenchman, and that a German. But in great +questions of principle and method touching humanity, such as +education and religion, we drop race and nation, and act upon simple +manhood. If we do not, we are sure to err. The true idea in the case +before us is, not to think perpetually of the black skin and the +African blood, but of the man, and to use with the negro precisely +the measures which should be used with white men in the same +circumstances of ignorance and poverty, and with the same +responsibilities as citizens. And it is singular that objectors to +our work do not seem to be aware that the precise difficulty which +they emphasize respecting the black masses at the South has been +equally emphasized by others respecting the white masses at the +North. The complaint everywhere heard in the Northern States is, that +the common people are being so highly educated as to become +dissatisfied with labor. The young men and young women refuse to work +at manual industries, and take to trade and the professions, or else +become dissipated idlers. Hence attempts are making to attach +industrial education to our common schools. Why, then, talk of the +peculiarities of the negro in this matter? There are none. He simply +shares in the temptations which beset all races, and we must reason +accordingly, and plan alike for the masses of the people, black and +white. + +One should avoid extreme and disproportionate statements and +implications. The same writer runs a tilt against all education for +the negro above the most rudimental, and says: "I have failed to see +one who has been made a better man or a better citizen by this higher +education; on the contrary, I know of very many who have been morally +and socially ruined by it." We are sorry that his acquaintance has +been so unfortunate with this class. Others have had the happiness to +know scores and hundreds of well-educated colored people who are +doing great credit to their race as ministers, physicians, editors, +lawyers, teachers and authors. To one of these, a graduate of a +theological institution, aided by this Association, the District +Attorney in the part of Virginia where he now lives, recently +addressed a letter of thanks for his having wrought a moral +revolution in that county, saying: "Your boldness in condemning the +wrong and asserting and approving the right has not only impressed +the colored, and influenced their conduct in the right direction, but +it has at the same time won for you the confidence and esteem of all +the thinking portion of the white race, who are interested in good +government and a well-ordered and law-abiding community ... for which +this community ought to be profoundly grateful." And this man is also +"ebon black." And here we would correct the impression that a large +disproportion of the negroes are receiving "a higher education." The +idea is given out that a great mistake has been made by the societies +and philanthropists that are seeking the elevation of the freedmen. +It would relieve the quite unnecessary alarm of objectors if they +would consult the United States census for the statistics of the +negro population, and then compare with its six millions of colored +people the few thousands of them found in the colleges, academies, +high schools, theological seminaries, medical and law schools of the +land. Probably not more than one negro in a thousand is receiving +anything beyond the very simplest instruction. Surely, then, no great +harm can yet have been done, or is likely to be done, for many years +to come. And yet, long before the objectors had spoken, these same +educators had begun to add industrial training to book learning, and +they are now pushing this branch as fast as the pecuniary means are +furnished. + +Nor should we overlook the vast and pressing necessities to which the +higher education stands related. There is a loud and general call for +_competent_ colored teachers, instead of there being such a surplus +as the aforementioned writer found when he says, "There was only one +vacancy where there were fifty teachers." A remarkably favored +locality! The superintendents of Southern schools tell a very +different story. Not long since, the Rev. Dr. Haygood, of Georgia, +in an article in the _Independent_, called for fifty thousand colored +physicians, to be furnished as speedily as possible. And who can +exaggerate the need of educated colored ministers to take the place +of the old ignorant preachers? And how is any race to rise without +intelligent leaders of their own in every locality? These will +naturally be found in their men of education and property, in their +ministers, physicians, lawyers, editors, teachers and political +representatives. It is idle and wrong to repress or ignore the +ambition of negroes of talent to be something more than laborers and +servants, bootblacks and whitewashers. They must have the chance that +others have, in proportion to their numbers; no more, no less. And +all these rising colored men must have correspondingly intelligent +wives, for their comfort and improvement and for the training of +their children. To meet such wants the existing schools of high grade +will all be needed and should all be liberally endowed. + + * * * * * + +OPINIONS. + + +The American Missionary Association and those allied to it have been +the chief agency at the South, so far as benevolent effort is +concerned, in diffusing right notions of religion, and in carrying +education to the darkened mind of the negro.--_Hon. J. L. M. Curry._ + + * * * * * + +Of all the questions which disturb the mental equanimity of the +patriotic and thinking citizen of our Republic, none is looming in +his horizon with a more lurid and portentous aspect than the black +cloud of illiteracy which is rapidly spreading over the country, and +especially resting upon the Southern States of the Union. Compared +with it as an element of vital danger to the Republic, Mormonism, +Communism and Socialism sink into obscurity. The only way out of the +unfortunate dilemma or of ameliorating the condition in which the +country is placed by the thrusting upon it of this mass of ignorance, +is by education--an education both mental and moral.--_George R. +Stetson._ + + * * * * * + +The real tests of Northern zeal and liberality, of Northern faith and +patience in the work of educating the negro, are yet to come. At the +first, Christian zeal was mightily stimulated by the patriotic +fervors of a great war for the preservation of the Union. In most +minds the course of events identified the preservation of the Union +and the abolition of slavery. The tremendous moral and political +forces that were at work during the war, and for many years after its +close, all conspired to make such an appeal to the thought, sentiment +and conscience of the church in the North as was perhaps never before +made for any form of Christian philanthropy. Christian men and women +were filled with pity for the poor negroes, and there was a movement +of "men and money" for their education that was never before seen in +this, or perhaps any other, country. The effort was stupendous, and +the results are amazing. + +But the conditions that obtained from 1865 to 1875 will obtain no +more. The enthusiasms peculiar to that period pass away with the +coming of a new generation. The work must go on now as the foreign +missionary movement of Christendom goes on--by the force that is born +of a fixed conviction and an unquestioning faith in God's purpose to +save the world and in His plan of saving it. + +It is saddening, it is not surprising, to know that some noble men +and women teaching in negro schools in the South are discouraged. +This is natural, but nevertheless perilous, as well as distressing. +One teacher, long in the service, speaks thus: "Some are much +discouraged; we have expected by this time to see results more +permanent in the negro character; we thought it would be somewhat as +we have seen it in our Western colleges after a few years." + +Such a basis of comparison is very unjust to the negro and very +hurtful to his teacher. We must not forget heredity; we must compare +the negro as to education in schools in 1884 with 1864. The white man +has behind him a thousand years of the influences that enter into our +best education. Yet how much he has to learn! How much easier for +white pupils to learn books than virtue--how much easier to acquire +knowledge than wisdom! Let us have patience with each other. Let us +also settle down to steady work, steady giving and constant praying. +This is a work for the next hundred years--and more.--_The Advance._ + + * * * * * + +The feeling is too prevalent, even among Christians, that "the only +good Indian is a dead Indian." If parents would put into the hands +of their children reports of our missionaries, so they could see +what is being done for the Indians, instead of letting them get +their opinions of the Indian race from newspaper articles and from +books of Indian wars, in which the rifle and scalping knife were +the only arguments used, much prejudice would be removed and the +missions among Indians would be better sustained. Further, if +parents themselves would take the above advice, it would be time +and money well spent, as some grown-up children might learn as +well.--_Correspondent in St. Louis Evangelist._ + + * * * * * + +Bishop H. M. Turner, of the M. E. Church South, is said to be the +first colored man who has ever received the degrees of D. D. and LL. D. +He educated himself at night among the cotton fields of South +Carolina, and was the first colored chaplain in the United States +Army. + + * * * * * + +It is said by the _Journal of Education_ that the colored people of +the country now edit over 100 newspapers, teach 18,000 public schools +with 900,000 pupils, raise annually 150,000,000 bushels of cereals +and 2,700,000,000 pounds of cotton. + + * * * * * + +THE CONGREGATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF CHRISTIAN CHINESE. + +Out of our missions in California has sprung the Congregational +Association of Christian Chinese. What is its object? "Mutual watch +and care; arrangement for special seasons of worship in connection +with the missions, the appointment of brethren to preach at stated +times and places, and a certain measure of mutual aid and relief." A +grand object, surely. The Central Association, with three branches, +is in San Francisco. In other parts of the State there are nine +branches. The total membership is 378. Jee Gam, whom many of our +readers will remember in connection with his visit East four years +ago, is the Secretary. + + * * * * * + +The new catalogue of Straight University, by an error of the printer, +is made to say that the first building on Esplanade street was +erected and destroyed in 1870. This strikes out seven of the most +important years of the University's history. The date of destruction +should have been 1877. As many of our friends in visiting the +International Exposition at New Orleans took occasion to visit +Straight University, and may have received catalogues of the same, we +deem it proper to call attention to this mistake. + + * * * * * + +THE SOUTH. + + * * * * * + +BEREA COLLEGE, KY. + + +The Berea College Commencement was held June 17-24. There was present +a number of distinguished men from abroad, among whom may be +mentioned Roswell Smith, of the _Century Magazine_, New York; Geo. W. +Cable, the well-known author; Rev. Washington Gladden, D. D., Rev. +Robert West, of the Chicago _Advance_; Hon. Cassius M. Clay, and +Judge Beckner, of Kentucky. Roswell Smith made a gift of $5,000 to +the institution. We make the following extract from the baccalaureate +sermon of Prof. Wright, in which he ably discusses the question of +caste: + +"However long this state of things may continue, do not despairingly +conclude that it is never to be broken down. The stars in their +courses fight against injustice and folly. The very stones of the +field are in league with those who are on the side of equity and +fairness. Any region, small or large, that persists in a separation +of races in its hotels, railroads, schools and churches, dooms itself +to an inferior rank in all the departments of its life--in its +business as effectively as in its intelligence and its piety. + +"It costs more to keep up two sets of hotels than one. It costs more +to build railroad stations with separate waiting-rooms for two races +than to build them with accommodations for ladies and gentlemen +without regard to race. It costs more to run trains, if separate +passenger cars must be provided for two races on every train. This +cost will delay the building of railroads in the first place, and +this can only be met by higher rates of fare, which will impede +business progress. + +"It costs more to maintain a double system of public schools than to +provide for all the children under a single system. This increases +taxes, while at the same time the schools cannot be as efficient, and +this diminishes intelligence. For in scattered farming communities, +the districts must be so large under the double system that many +families are out of reach of the school. And the number of towns that +can have graded schools is greatly reduced by the requirement that no +school shall receive pupils of more than one race. Normal schools are +also made more difficult to maintain, and teachers' institutes +rendered less efficient. A lower average of intelligence is as +inevitable under such adverse conditions in the educational machinery +of a State, as slower speed in a racehorse is inevitable when he +carries heavy weight. + +"Similar things may be said of churches. Any community that insists +on separate churches for different races dooms itself to a lower +grade of spiritual experience and a lower degree of Christian +activity. How must every good work be retarded if, in addition to the +separation of Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians, and others which +we find nearly everywhere, there must also be a further separation of +these by races; if in every neighborhood, however scattered the +population, there must be a white Methodist church with its white +Methodist preacher, and also a colored Methodist church with its +colored Methodist preacher, a white Baptist church and preacher, and +also a colored Baptist church and preacher, a white Presbyterian +church and preacher, and so on through the list. In many cases such +churches have service only once in a month, and the members attend no +other in the meantime. It is plain that of two regions alike in other +respects, the one that insists on race distinctions in the worship of +the one God and Father of us all, and will not allow men of different +races to stand side by side in doing Christian work, must maintain +its religious institutions at greater cost and with less efficiency +because of this race separation. + +"The region that treats all men impartially in its churches will have +the advantage in religion and morals. The region that knows no race +distinctions in its schools will have the advantage in intelligence. +The region that is color-blind on its public conveyances and in its +places of business, will have the advantage in business, for it can +equip and run steamboats and railroads more economically and conduct +factories at lower cost, while its higher average intelligence will +make it a producer of better goods. All these elements will conspire +to give the impartial community precedence in wealth, in literature, +in art, in social attractiveness, as well as in a high average +intelligence; in orderly habits, and in both the power and the will +to achieve noble things. Power is coming into the hands of those who +choose righteousness. Let all the commonwealths in our broad land +know that only by treating all men with impartiality can they put +themselves in alliance with the silent but irresistible forces of +social and political economy. There is no future for caste-practicing +communities but decadence and increasing inferiority." + + * * * * * + +ANNIVERSARY AT TALLADEGA. + + +Talladega College, chartered in 1869, had its fifteenth anniversary +from June 14 to 18. The Cassedy school gave an exhibition full of +interest, and indicative of the good work done there, on the +preceding Friday evening. The college chapel was well filled at all +these exercises, and sometimes was too strait for the audience. The +attendance from town, especially of our white friends, was +exceptionally large, and we have never heard so many and so +appreciative words of commendation before. Rev. Dr. Worrell, +principal of a boys' school in Talladega, who taught in our Swayne +Hall before the War, when it was a Baptist College, was present, +leading us in a prayer memorable for its sympathy and fervency. +Certainly the work of Talladega College was never so strongly +intrenched in the regard of the people of Alabama as now. + +The full course of exercises for commencement was enacted in good +order, including an able Baccalaureate by Dr. Strieby, Missionary +sermon by Rev. J. W. Roberts, Dallas, Texas, one of our theological +graduates, and an address by Dr. Roy, exercises of our two literary +societies, prize speaking and essays, public examinations, orations +and essays on Commencement Day, and ending with a reception at the +President's house. Others can judge better of the worth of some of +these parts than the writer and his associates, but to us they seemed +good. We were greatly encouraged, and feel that our friends and +patrons would have been pleased had they been present. + +The Alumni Association, formed three years ago, was represented on +Commencement Day by Mrs. L. L. Wilson, who read an essay on "Homes +and How to Make Them," and by Rev. J. W. Roberts, whose theme was +"Exceptional Greatness." That afternoon the Alumni held a meeting in +the college chapel, when representatives from States as far away as +Arkansas and Texas were present, and others were heard from by +letter. + +At the business meeting it was determined to begin an Alumni fund, in +aid either of members of the Association or the College. + +The Exhibition of Industrial Work, both of the boys and girls, +attracted much attention and warm commendation. The Slater Shop, with +its facilities for instruction in much wood, little iron and some +paint, made its first annual display, and those who believe in little +other education for the child of the late slave, and those who differ +from them, all agreed in the great advantages of this industrial +training. The work exhibited was good; some of it very choice. + +We feel that the College never had a better anniversary; take it all +in all, never as good; but with continued help such as we need, by +the favor of God this may well be dwarfed by the greater result of +the near future. We are looking for that help with increasing +confidence. + + H. S. DEFOREST. + + * * * * * + +TOUGALOO COMMENCEMENT. + + +The unsurpassed wealth of our roses had just left their vanishing +fragrance on the air, only the Cherokees being left in profusion to +lend their peculiar charm to our closing exercises, but the grand old +oaks standing like guardian sentinels around the grounds, in all the +freshness of their early leafage and festooned with the Spanish moss, +ever faithful to all seasons, gave to the place a patriarchal +appearance, and an air of seclusion from temptation. The healthful +cedar boughs and buds bestowed their fragrance like a closing +benediction. + +Sec. Powell came to us with his strong earnest words of cheer and a +lecture on Slave Music, which our young people could illustrate and +well appreciate. Gov. Lowry expressed a hearty commendation of the +exhibition of work from the industrial department, as well as the +orations, essays, dialogue, and declamation. The colloquy on our +reading-room indicated that good use had been made of that room, even +if the number of volunteers for furnishing news items after dinner +had not always been as numerous as might be desired. Supt. Smith told +us that many of the best teachers in the State come from this school. +Dr. Galloway and the city fathers of Jackson showed their +appreciation of the sentiments expressed by the young people, and we +heartily wished that the dear, good, noble-hearted workers of the +North could have been present, who have so generously opened their +purses to educate and fit "our brother in black" for leading his race +from a darkness more than "skin deep" to noble citizenship. We wish +you could realize, as you only can by seeing it, what a stimulus +every such work is to the white people of the South, for as Dr. +Haygood stated in his closing address, "though Northern money +generously erected these buildings and pays a large share of the +salaries here, yet the State pays the young men and women who go out +from this school to teach in the country schools." + +Dear friends, your investments are bringing in grand returns, but the +needs of this race are very great yet. It is sad to see the number +who come to this institution with means to pay their expenses for +_only a part of the year_, hoping to come back another year, and +trusting that in some way they may be able to continue their studies. + +A students' aid fund is much needed to assist worthy pupils. +Aspirations are aroused that cannot be quenched. The daily lessons in +keeping rooms tidy, in personal habits, in doing thoroughly whatever +is undertaken, cannot be lost, even if pupils remain but a short +time. The sentiment, that to work is an honor, to be idle a disgrace, +is so infused into their daily life that we fully believe greater +progress will be seen in the coming years than has been seen in the +past. The spirit of those who have labored with these ardent +aspirants for higher, better, nobler things has so entered into and +permeated their very being, that it cannot lie dormant. Arouse and +cultivate the best there is in this race, and you have something +worth making a sacrifice for. God is showing us, by the way, that +this is His own blessed work. We do not have to wait long years to +reap; the sheaves are abundant every year. In one of our late +prayer-meetings special causes for thanksgiving was the topic. There +were many expressions of gratitude "for the Christian influence of +our school." One young man said: "I am just as thankful for what I +have learned in the workshop as in the school-room." After hearing of +the 700,000 one-room log-cabins of the South, and the need there is +of skilled workmen, we felt like singing an added song of praise as +we looked through the work exhibited in wood, tin, iron, and _cloth_, +and saw the promise of better things. Surely the young men who can +exhibit such work will not allow their mothers, wives, and sisters to +live in cabins through whose open roofs the stars are visible when +they shine. + +You would travel far to find a more temptingly spread table than the +girls of Tougaloo are taught to prepare--all the eatables of their +own make, even the delicious butter. Nowhere in New England need you +look for a nicer-kept cabin and yard than some of those on the little +homesteads lately purchased by President Pope, for one of his ideas +of missionary work is to help the colored man _get a home_, having +for corner-stones "Industry, Economy, Temperance, and Family Virtue." + + * * * * * + +TILLOTSON INSTITUTE, AUSTIN, TEXAS. + + +The third of June witnessed the close of another year of successful +work at Tillotson Institute. Written examinations were held May +26-29. The results of this work, in a shape convenient for +inspection, were placed in the reading room, and attracted no little +attention. Oral public examinations were held June 1 and 2. These +showed faithful work on the part of both teachers and pupils. The +classes in United States history and geometry deserve special +mention. The excitement of the occasion was a little too much for +some of the young people, leading one to say that Riel was the +Governor-General of Canada, while another remarked that Florida, +being discovered on Easter Sunday, and being a land of flowers, was +named the "Mayflower." These blunders, however, were speedily +corrected by the pupils themselves. + +The rhetorical exercises of Tuesday evening called out a very fine +audience. The chapel was filled to overflowing. The exercises +consisted of the usual programme of choruses, quartets, recitations, +declamations, essays, etc. Mr. Edward Wilson's rendering of his +translation of Cicero's First Oration against Catiline is deserving +of special notice, though all the parts were given without a single +break or failure of memory. We observe our students have great +capacity for "rising to occasions." + +In the midst of the programme we were most agreeably surprised by the +appearance of Secretary Powell, who happily closed the entertainment +by a brief but stirring address. + +The anniversary exercises of Wednesday morning made a fitting climax +for the series of meetings. Though not a "commencement" occasion, yet +it was distinguished from other days of the closing week, and from +previous anniversaries, by the presentation of "certificates" to two +young men who have completed the "Elementary Normal Course." These +young men remain with us to pursue a further course of study. The +address of one of them, Mr. A. S. Terrell, on the subject "Our Duty," +is especially worthy of notice. The subject was considered from the +stand-point of the advantages afforded colored people. "It is true," +he said, "we must bear many hard things, but let us look on the +bright side. Let us consider and improve our opportunities. Let us +accept the good, from whatever source it comes. To join with +Communists, labor-unions, and other discontented classes, in a chorus +of fault-finding and censure, because we cannot have everything we +want, is to take the sure road to the defeat of our most cherished +objects." These are timely words, and they reveal a state of feeling +among colored people which finds all too fertile a soil in the +tendency to ignore, or discriminate, or, at best, grant but a +supercilious recognition, which still in great measure controls +Southern sentiment. The colored people are naturally loyal and +conservative. It is possible, now, so to develop these qualities, +that they shall be national bulwarks. Some time it may be too late, +and if reaction comes it will be terrible. + +The attitude of many representative men of the South, however, is +most encouraging. Our anniversary exercises were honored by the +presence of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction and the +County Superintendent of Travis Co., Hon. B. M. Baker and Judge +Fullmore. In their addresses at the conclusion of our programme, both +gentlemen spoke with enthusiasm of the great progress in educational +matters that has been made in Texas during the past five years, among +both white and colored. The magnificent school fund of Texas, as +rapidly as it becomes available, is devoted to the interests of both +races without discrimination. Mr. Baker emphasized the fact that +notwithstanding the liberal provision for a State system of schools, +it would be many years before they could dispense with the schools +maintained by benevolent societies. The latter must be the main +agency for the training of teachers. For the present, the State must +devote her energies to the building of school-houses, and the +establishment and maintenance of common schools, without attempting +very much in the line of higher education. + +Both gentlemen spoke in high praise of Tillotson, and of the ability +and trustworthy character of the teachers she has sent out. + +Secretary Powell made the concluding address, and brought the meeting +to its highest point of enthusiasm. The presence of these men +representing educational interests, which not long ago seemed to +have nothing whatever in common, their interchange of courtesies, and +their expression of mutual dependence each upon the other, made the +occasion both memorable and very full of suggestion. + + J. H. PARR. + + * * * * * + +ANNIVERSARY WEEK AT AVERY INSTITUTE. + + +The closing exercises of the twentieth anniversary of Avery Normal +Institute, Charleston, S. C., occupied four days of the last week of +June. + +The week opened on Sunday, June 21, with a sermon to the graduating +class, by the Rev. E. T. Hooker, pastor of our A. M. A. church. + +The morning hours of Wednesday and Thursday were devoted to oral +examinations in all the departments. A fine display of maps, drawing +books, object drawings and original designs found scores of admirers. +The sewing done by the industrial classes made a creditable exhibit, +and the garments found ready purchasers. The remainder of the school +hours of each day were given to rhetorical exercises in the chapel of +the institution. + +On Wednesday, P. M., the sub-normal grades entertained their friends. +Promptly at 12 m., they filed into the chapel to a march from the +piano. Music, recitations, gesture and sewing songs pleasantly filled +an hour and a half. A composition, "The New Colony," weaving in, in a +humming fashion, the surnames of some of the teachers and pupils, was +highly appreciated by the crowded house of parents and friends. + +Thursday, P. M., the "Normals" held the Fort. The aim had not been to +foster theatrical tastes, nor to produce startling dramatic effects, +but to render in a natural and easy manner, historic, patriotic and +practical selections, both of poetry and prose. Music, vocal and +instrumental, lent its charm to the general enjoyment. + +Friday was wholly devoted to those whom Avery each year "delighteth +to honor." A galaxy of twenty-two formed the class of '85. Beginning +promptly at 10 A. M., seventeen earnest, womanly young women and five +faithful young men, expressed their opinions on their chosen +subjects, in the form of essay or oration. From salutatory to +valedictory, the quiet of the packed room attested the interest taken +in the evolution of each theme. The colored people of Charleston are, +intellectually, in advance of those of most other Southern cities. +Before the "slight misunderstanding," their native city was called +the "Athens of the South," and, breathing the same air as the more +favored race, they naturally imbibed some of its cultured modes of +thought. The presentation of diplomas by the Principal, Prof. Wm. M. +Bristoll, the singing of the Class Song and the congratulations of +friends closed the happy day. + + ANNA M. NICHOLAS. + + * * * * * + +BREWER NORMAL SCHOOL. + + +The Thirteenth Anniversary Exercises of the Brewer Normal School took +place at Greenwood, S. C., on Thursday, June 25. The annual address +was delivered at eleven o'clock A. M., by the Rev. T. E. McDonald, of +Columbia, to an unusually large audience, and enlisted earnest +attention. It will, we trust, be long remembered by those who heard +it. It was followed by a short, earnest talk from the Rev. H. M. +Young, presiding elder of this district in the A. M. E. Church. The +singing was by the entire school and was loudly applauded. This was +followed by an intermission of an hour and a half, during which time +friends held fellowship with friends and betook themselves to the +contents of abundantly laden refreshment baskets. + +The afternoon exercises consisted of singing, recitations and +dialogues by the children of the primary department. Our large hall +was bright with flowers, flags and happy faces, but was by far too +small to accommodate the immense throng seeking admission. The +calisthenic exercises and selections were well rendered and won many +complimentary remarks. At 5 o'clock a memorial service was held for a +member of the school who, the year before, took a very prominent part +in our closing exercises, but who, after months of patient suffering, +entered into rest April 6. The annual exhibition came off at 8 +o'clock P. M. The programme consisted of sixteen parts, interspersed +with music. We were favored during the day with music from two brass +bands. By competent judges the declamations were pronounced superior +to any heard on former occasions of a similar character. + +The attendance of the citizens from the town was a very pleasant +feature. Brewer Normal has made a deep impression on the white +people. They acknowledge the good work that it has done and is doing, +and believe in the possibilities that are before it. The students in +attendance during the year were 168, an advance upon that of any +previous year. We have had much for which to be thankful during the +first year connected with this institute; but let this be an +inspiration leading us to greater achievements during the year to +come. On Friday morning, amid a "sweet confusion" of tears, laughter +and farewells, the halls of the school were closed for the summer +vacation, and the students boarded the trains to return to their +homes. + + J. D. BACKENSTOSE. + + * * * * * + +STUDENT'S LETTER. + + +STRAIGHT UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS. + +The path along which the mind must travel to obtain an education, is +much like that on which one goes to accomplish any desired end. The +student will find in his way numberless difficulties which seem +higher than mountains, lower than valleys, and darker than any forest +glade. The Alpine traveler knows that he will meet many a rugged +steep, that he must cross many a mountain torrent on slender footing, +make his way through many a gloomy valley. He does not give up, but +presses forward with eagerness and courage, until he reaches the +summit and gazes as a victor on the glorious scenes around. + +So is it with the student who is determined to become useful to his +fellow-men and to God. His path is strewn with difficulties all the +way. He meets discouragements and back-sets which seem to him +sometimes insurmountable, and he will need all his courage to keep on +to the end. In our Southern country there are, it seems to me, many +difficulties which do not exist in all parts of our land; but as I +hear our teachers tell of their struggles and trials, I conclude +there is no broad, smooth way along which one may walk comfortably up +to the temple of knowledge. + +Many who are exceedingly anxious to become students have in early +life lost their parents, and, being poor, are unable to provide for +themselves, and unless some helping hand is stretched forth, must +remain in ignorance. There are others, who, though in good +circumstances, are not able to appreciate the value of learning, and +so care nothing for it. Again, there are many communities in which +the people, ignorant themselves, care nothing about the education of +their children, and will make no provisions for schools. I know of +settlements of five hundred or more inhabitants among whom there are +scarcely any competent preachers, no good schools or teachers, no +missionary work going on, and the people in a very degraded state. +Ignorant parents, unless persuaded, are not apt to attend to the +education of their children. It is a disadvantage to any one aiming +to prepare for future usefulness to meet with either of these +unfavorable circumstances that I have mentioned, and yet it is the +case with thousands of our boys and girls. The principles which ought +to be impressed upon the children's minds while young are neglected, +and false ideas and degraded impressions are allowed to govern them. +Thus, they are robbed of an early training in those things which are +the true foundations of a noble character. + +Here are the plantations in this Southland around many of which yet +cluster the stains of slavery, and to look upon them in all their +degradation is enough to cause a young man or woman who was once +acting in accordance with their sinfulness, but now trying to aim +higher, to give up and declare that it is useless to try to elevate +the great mass of our people to a high standard of citizenship and +usefulness, and it is only when we remember that the hand of the +great God is in the work, that one can have any hope. How many to-day +are idling away their time, breaking the Sabbath, engaging in sinful +sports, violating the State laws, disturbing the peace of quiet +citizens, disobeying their Supreme Ruler! + +We have glanced at the dark side of this subject. Let us now turn to +the bright. God has raised up noble men who have loved us and labored +for us--men whose names are familiar to all, and who will be loved +and honored through all generations. Can we be discouraged when we +think it was for us John Brown died? When we think of Abraham +Lincoln, Charles Sumner, and all that host of great men who saw the +evils our race suffered and so nobly stood up for us, we will not +despair. + +Our Christian friends at the North have given us liberty and +citizenship. Noble Lincoln and brave Grant were to us almost what +Moses and Aaron were to the Israelites. These same people are +mastering another great problem. As soon as hostilities ceased they +placed institutions of learning within our reach. Under the A. M. A. +and other associations, schools and colleges are erected in the South +for our advancement and training. Here is Straight University, +founded at the very centre of bitterness. From the regions round +about she gathers young men and woman, teaches them the truths of +Christianity, educates them, and then sends them abroad to fill the +pulpits, to gather in the lost ones. Trained by those who have had +the best education the North could give them, they go out to teach +the children, who, but for them, could have no good teaching. The +missionary cause carries light to the homes that are in darkness. + +It is a great encouragement, not only to us but to our parents also, +to know that we are acquiring an education from the hands of these +Christian helpers, so that we can become useful in the world, good +citizens, skilled in art and science, and in all branches of +knowledge; to become recognized in the best society, and to secure +comfortable homes for ourselves; to know that we are taught true +principles of Christianity, so that we can use our learning aright, +build up God's kingdom, promote peace and happiness upon earth, and +by and by, when that Eye which looked down from heaven and saw the +shackles of slavery struck from our hands and souls, sees fit, we +shall be the instruments in carrying the gospel of Christ across the +sea to our fellow-men who inhabit the dark continent. Difficulties +there are, many and great; but nothing is too difficult for the +Almighty, and He is our helper and always will help if we ask Him. + +The chance to get a good training is in the reach of nearly every +one, if he will only try. We are grateful to our benefactors and to +God for these blessings. May His name be praised and may He reward +his servants in the end! + + C. W. JOHNSON. + + * * * * * + +THE INDIANS. + + * * * * * + +THE APACHE RAID. + +BY GEN. C. H. HOWARD. + + +A private letter before me from a ranchman says: "Great excitement +prevails all over this part of Arizona from the breaking out of the +Chiricahua Apaches. We expected them here, as this is one of their +old trails and watering places. We kept guard night and day. But they +crossed into New Mexico, to the north of us." + +The old roaming ground of the Chiricahuas was Southern Arizona. For +many years they defied all attempts to subdue them. Their famous +chief, Cochise, refused to make any treaty or even to parley with the +representatives of the Government. + +In 1873, under Grant's "peace policy," General O. O. Howard was sent +to Arizona and New Mexico to make treaties with such of the Indians +as could be reached. After he had visited many other tribes, +including several of the Apache family, and located them peaceably, +he determined to make one earnest effort to meet Cochise. The +experience of twenty years proved that it would be vain to try to +capture him. One white man was found, a scout and interpreter, known +as Captain Jefferds, who spoke Apache and who was regarded by Cochise +as a friend. He consented to try and bring about a parley with +Cochise, but declared no troops must be near. General Howard took one +aide-de-camp, and with Jefferds and two friendly Apaches, rode for +two days until they came near the stronghold. Jefferds then sent +forward the two Indians with a message. They went cautiously, +kindling fires from point to point, and receiving answering signals. +The next day one of them returned, bringing word that Cochise would +see the General and his party, and that the messenger was to guide +them to a designated place of meeting. Cochise was not there on the +arrival of the party, but some of his head men appeared soon after, +had a talk with Jefferds and were introduced to the General, all +showing signs of a marked impression, from the fact that the General +had lost his right arm and carried no weapons. His Apache name was +ever afterwards the "The One-Armed Chief." Some of the Chiricahuas +then mounted and rode away, and not long after a body of Indians came +galloping up. A powerfully-built man, fully armed with rifle, +revolvers and knife, dismounted and first took Jefferds by the hand, +and then turned and frankly greeted the General. The details of that +interview, of the stay of the treaty-party in the stronghold as +Cochise's guests, for two days; their experience the first night, +when they were awakened in the middle of the night and the entire +camp was moved to a still more inaccessible natural fortification, +far up in the mountains, owing to an apprehended attack from a +militia company which had pursued some marauding Chiricahuas the day +before--all would form an interesting and romantic chapter of Indian +history. + +The treaty stipulated that all raiding and marauding should cease; +that the Chiricahuas should confine themselves to a certain defined +tract of country; that Captain Jefferds, whom Cochise always called +his brother, would be their agent, and that necessary food would be +allowed them. A definite time was granted in which Cochise was to +communicate the terms of the treaty to his absent chiefs, some of +whom were in old Mexico or other distant places. + +[Illustration: INDIAN SUMMER TENT.] + +The treaty was kept by Cochise and the Chiricahuas for nine years, as +long as he lived. They were greatly incensed and felt that they +were wronged when Capt. Jefferds was displaced, the reservation +marked out in the treaty was taken away, and they were removed from +their traditional home and herded upon the San Carlos reservation +with other tribes, some of whom they greatly despised. This, however, +they still bore patiently or without manifest resentment until +October, 1881. At that time there was trouble with other San Carlos +tribes. The army marched upon the reservation. The next night the +Chiricahuas left. They started in the direction of their old haunts, +met freighting teams, murdered the drivers and took the horses, +killed cattle and stole other horses from ranchmen, had one or two +slight skirmishes with the United States cavalry and escaped into +Mexico. + +Gen. Crook's campaign into Mexico in pursuit of them is familiar to +all. He captured their women and children and old people, and in +order, doubtless, to induce the leaders, who were hidden in the +fastnesses of the Sierra Madre mountains, to surrender, promised +terms that have been severely criticised. Those leaders, like +Geronomo, whose hands were stained with murder, were allowed to come +back unmolested upon the reservation, to retain their arms, and to +feel that, instead of conquered foes of the government, and criminals +justly and duly punished, they had outwitted their white enemy and +dictated their own terms of a peace to be broken at will. + +Should not these Chiricahua leaders, having deliberately broken their +treaty, and known to be incorrigibly criminal, have been at least +confined where they could neither incite nor lead more murderous +raids? It was neither a dictate of humanity nor of true statesmanship +to set them loose with arms in their hands. One of the essential +steps in the civilization of any tribe is to demonstrate that crimes +are to be promptly and adequately punished. + +But the utter neglect of the government, and of all missionary +bodies, to send to these Chiricahuas any teachers or to make any +earnest attempt to civilize them, during the entire nine years of +their peaceable stay on the reservation, should, no doubt, be duly +weighed when considering the question of ultimate responsibility for +this outbreak.--_The Chicago Standard._ + + * * * * * + +THE CHINESE. + + * * * * * + +A TOUR AMONG THE MISSIONS. + +BY REV. W. C. POND. + + +Since writing my last account of our work for the MISSIONARY, I have +visited several of our Missions in the interior of the State, and, as +far as I can in the space at my command, I will recount my +observations. + +I. STOCKTON.--Except as, for a short time, more than thirty years +ago, something was done by Rev. S. V. Blakeslee in San Francisco, +Stockton was the first point in California occupied by the A. M. A. +The work was continued there with scarcely a month's intermission +from 1871 till about a year ago, when under financial pressure it was +closed for a time. The intention was to resume as soon as the opening +of a new fiscal year gave me the right to draw against a new +appropriation. Meanwhile it was hoped that a temporary suspension +might lead to a greater interest on the part of the Chinese +themselves, and that we should begin to get urgent requests from them +with pledges of cooeperation such as had sometimes come to us from +other places. It was all a mistake for which your Superintendent is +chastened, and repents. When we were ready to resume, we found the +convenient room which the school had occupied so many years rented +for quite other purposes, and no quarters could be obtained except at +a rental too exorbitant. Most of those among the pupils who had been +specially benefited, and whose urgencies we should otherwise have +heard, had moved elsewhere, and the Macedonian cry which we hoped +would put us on vantage ground for future operations, did not come to +our ears. The Chinese are very numerous in Stockton--at least 1,000 +constantly there, and probably 1,000 more who, working here and there +in the great San Joaquin Valley, make Stockton their rendezvous. I +ought not to have suspended work among them, but rather with faith +and courage I should have pressed it with greater zeal, and if hearts +seemed harder there than elsewhere, I should have poured in upon them +more abundantly the light and love of Christ. All that I could +accomplish on this visit was to arrange conditionally for a room in a +building not yet completed, and to intensify my own determination +somehow to carry to those dark, needy souls "the _fullness_ of the +blessing of Christ." + +II. SACRAMENTO.--It was good to come into the warm spiritual +atmosphere of our Sacramento mission. The tokens of God's blessing on +our work there are unmistakable. Our readers have heard recently from +our helper, Chin Toy, and I forbear going into details. The best +result of my visit was in the decision of one of our pupils who had +been highly commended to me by his brethren and by Mrs. Carrington, +to enter into missionary work. His name is Chin Kel. I am all the +more hopeful about him because he is distrustful of himself. This was +the only ground of hesitancy with him. The fact that it involved a +_very considerable pecuniary sacrifice_ does not seem to have weighed +with him at all. He will be stationed at Marysville, relieving our +excellent brother Joe Jet for work elsewhere. + +III. MARYSVILLE.--Here, too, I found comfort with the brethren, and +after the usual exercises of the school were finished, at nine +o'clock P. M., we sat down together at the Lord's table. One brother +was baptized and received to the church. All the resident members of +the church were present, and, if I mistake not, we broke the bread +not only at about the same hour of the evening, but with the same +number of communicants as were gathered round the table in that upper +chamber at Jerusalem when this sacrament was first observed. + +IV. OROVILLE.--The next two evenings were spent at Oroville, +twenty-eight miles further north. I took our faithful helper, Joe +Jet, with me, and he will spend a month or more in that mission. Two +of the Marysville brethren also accompanied us, and one other was +already there. I invited them to be present because I proposed to +organize our Oroville brethren into a church. Too long already--too +long, not by months, only, but by years--we had waited, hoping that +the church already existing in Oroville would open its doors and +extend a brother's hand to these disciples; and we believed that they +ought not longer to be debarred the privileges of the sacraments and +of church fellowship. Several who in years past have given evidence +of conversion in connection with this mission, are now elsewhere. +Four young men, after careful examination, in which Joe Jet and the +Marysville brethren shared, were constituted into "The Bethany Church +of Oroville." Four others were believed to be Christians, but, as +being recent converts, were held under probation awhile, as is the +custom in our missions. When we sat down on Friday evening to the +Lord's table it was found that four other churches were informally +represented by members present, and thus, in some sense, the +fellowship of the churches was expressed. + +V. TULARE.--My next visit was made to Tulare, in the southern part of +the San Joaquin Valley. I was greatly interested in what I found. My +hopes were more than realized. Believing that our work will be +permanent and fruitful, I bought, on my own responsibility, a lot, +and contracted for the erection of a comfortable Mission-house, which +having been put up with Californian speed, was dedicated on Monday, +May 18. I could not myself be present at the service, but Rev. D. +Goodsell, pastor of the Congregational Church, conducted it well. +There were songs and Scripture readings by the pupils, an address by +Ju Guy, the helper, giving in a brief and modest way his own +religious experience; addresses also by Bro. Goodsell and by Rev. Mr. +McMillan, of the M. E. Church; a collection which under the +circumstances was quite generous; and finally a banquet which the +pupils asked the privilege of providing for their friends. + +VI. FRESNO.--My last visit was at Fresno, the largest and most +promising town between Stockton and Los Angeles. Here I found fully +500 Chinese. Many more, doubtless, make their headquarters here. Ju +Guy accompanied me from Tulare, and in about six hours found five of +his countrymen who professed to be Christians. Three of these were +Baptists from Oregon, one a Methodist and one a Congregationalist. +All were ready to cooeperate. The last one gave his name as Soo Hoo +Foo, and said that about eight years ago he began to believe in +Jesus, and united in San Francisco with our "Congregational +Association of Christian Chinese." Soon after this he left the city, +and ever since has been almost entirely destitute of Christian +instruction and companionship. Yet he had not relinquished his +purpose to follow Christ, and his heart warmed at once at the +prospect of a mission in Fresno. Our school was started there May 1, +and gives good promise of permanent usefulness. The teacher speaks in +glowing terms about Soo Hoo Foo, believing that he might be trained +for good service as a missionary. About this time will tell; but +certainly our faith may well be strengthened and our hearts gladdened +to see how the Good Shepherd knows and keeps His scattered lambs. + + * * * * * + +BUREAU OF WOMAN'S WORK. + + * * * * * + +MISS D. E. EMERSON, SECRETARY. + + * * * * * + +As the ladies interested in our Bureau of Woman's Work may wish to +see the resolutions adopted by the representatives of the several +woman's missionary societies at the meeting held in Saratoga June 4, +we herewith print them: + + _Resolved_, That we, the representatives of the several + State women's home missionary societies present at the + Saratoga meeting, entreat the women of all the States to + form State societies, and add their contributions to those + of the great national societies to carry on all branches + of the missionary work in our own land, and to urge them + also to make corresponding effort to increase intelligence + in regard to home work. + + _Resolved_, That a committee of three ladies be appointed + to open correspondence with representatives in the + different States where no societies now exist, and in all + practicable ways to promote unity of interest and action + in home work. + +The committee appointed were: + +Mrs. W. Kincaid, 483 Greene avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y. + +Mrs. C. A. Richardson, 123 Washington avenue, Chelsea, Mass. + +Mrs. E. S. Williams, 1729 Eleventh avenue South, Minneapolis, Minn. + + * * * * * + +THE PAPER MISSION. + + +This unique enterprise in missionary work was started three years ago +by Miss Nancy Marsh, Providence, R. I. Miss Marsh writes: + +"Our third year of labor among the freedmen has just closed. We have +sent to about forty places 2,312 papers and pamphlets, 1,113 lesson +papers, 1,006 lesson cards, 174 tracts, 393 Scripture cards, 109 +Christmas and picture cards, 29 books of various kinds and 84 +lithographs; 66 letters and postals have been written. A box was sent +in October last to a pastor in Texas, with some articles of clothing, +'Barnes' Notes' and other books." + +Miss Marsh has received many letters from the missionaries, +gratefully acknowledging the help that the papers have been. One +writes: "I wish you could step in and see the little ones in their +several classes, how their eyes sparkle when the papers are given +out." Another: "It did me good to feel that one whom I had never seen +would interest herself in my work here in this isolated spot. I send +you my sincere thanks." A pastor says: "Our new church was dedicated +May 24. Our permanent existence began that day. The next Sabbath +twenty joined our Sunday-school, and the Sunday following seven more. +Nothing is so acceptable as your papers. Please send oftener, and +more with pictures, as my school is largely made up of little ones." + +The above are specimens of a great many letters that have been +received by Miss Marsh. We should be pleased to give still further +extracts from her interesting correspondence, but lack of space +forbids. She is engaged in doing a good work, and she has the +grateful appreciation of our missionaries in the field. + + * * * * * + +INDUSTRIAL LETTER FROM LE MOYNE. + + +DEAR FRIENDS: Thinking you would like to hear a word from "Le Moyne +Home" I will pen you a few lines. I wish you were here to see for +yourself what a nice happy family we are. The industrial classes take +a good share of my time. I am much pleased with the progress the +girls have made in sewing. They have a deal of pride in doing their +work nicely, and are always willing to take it out if not well done. +They have made ladies' and children's aprons, undergarments, +children's dresses, etc. Whenever they enter the sewing room with +torn or ragged garments I have them mend them the first thing, trying +to teach them that a stitch in time saves nine, and that a penny +saved is the same as a penny earned--two things hard for them to +learn. + +The class in cooking are interested as ever in their work. Not one of +the twenty-five girls has ever failed in any article of food she has +cooked. I give the girls who do the cooking a sample to take home. It +makes the mothers interested in their work. They bring frequently to +me something they have made at home. I have been very happy in my +work with them. + + M. H. K. + + * * * * * + +CHILDREN'S PAGE. + + * * * * * + +PLAYING 'POSSUM. + + +"See what a splendid 'possum I've shot, Uncle Toby. I killed him all +myself." + +"Killed him all yo'se'f, eh? Now, let me tole you' suffin'. Jest yo' +look sharp after him. A 'possum am a mighty skeery critter, shore's +yo' bawn." + +"Why, but he's dead, uncle, and how can he need any looking after?" + +"Don't yo' be so shore 'bout dat ar' now, 'case dey's mighty +onsartin, mighty onsartin. I mind now wat yore bressed uncle, the +parson, used ter say on that subjec', ses he: 'Toby, ef yo' ebber +wants to be a fust-rate Christian, yo' mus'n't let yer 'settin' sins +fool ye, 'case dey's jes like 'possums. Yo' t'ink dem all dead and +gone fur to pester ye no moah, when all ob a suddent heah dey all +comes agin, jes' as pow'rful as ebber. Be shore yo' kills dem +dead--plumb dead--ebbery time yo' sees de leastest bit ob one stick'n +up anywhars.' Dat's what he used fur to remark, an' he war a mighty +good man, chuck full ob de sperrit ob goodness." + +Willie ran away and shut his treasure up in an empty cotton-shed, +intending to skin it early in the morning, as it was now supper-time +and he was exceedingly hungry. But on the morrow nothing was to be +seen or heard of his prize. He hunted the place over and questioned +all the servants closely. Nothing was to be heard or seen of the +missing rogue, who was probably telling his mates of the forest of +his narrow escape from being skinned alive! + +Uncle Toby greeted Willie with a laugh, "I done tole yo' so. Yo' 's +got to cut dere heads plumb off. Dat am de onlst way ob bein' sartin +shore. I 'clare to gracious I'se seen dem hop outen de bery pot on de +fire an' make off." + +"O, Uncle Toby, that's an awful story! you know it is. But one thing +I do know: I'll cut the throat of the next 'possum I get hold of." + +"An' don't yo' fo'git what I done tole ye 'bout your 'settin' sins. +Dey's jes like dat ar' 'possum. Dey wants killin' ober an' ober again +'fore dey really dies." + +"I should think John Salters' love of drink needed killing again. Do +you know, I stumbled over him in the woods yesterday, with a +whisky-bottle lying by his side? It was too shameful!" + +"Dat am true, Massa Willie. I don't reckon he tries so bery hard to +kill dat ar' possum." + +"But he told father that he had reformed, and wanted him to furnish +him some work. Mother gave him a lot of old clothing and things to +eat, and yet there he lay, drunk as could be." + +"Wall, yo' see, he was jes' like yo' was yessaday. Yo' was sartain +shore dat 'possum was dead, an' all de time he was a larfin' in his +slebe an' t'inkin' how he'd make his legs fly when he'd see a good +chance, an' shore 'nuff he did. He-he." + +"You needn't laugh, uncle; 'twasn't any fun to lose such a big fat +fellow." + +"No moah it wasn't, but ef yo' larned de lesson wat de good Lord +meant to teach yo', den yo' hasn't loss nuffin'.

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 http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://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 checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is 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: + + http://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. diff --git a/31169.zip b/31169.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..e5cbbed --- /dev/null +++ b/31169.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.
