The office of the American Missionary Associa- tion has been removed from the Bible House to the Congregational Rooms, Fourth Avenue and Twenty- second Street, New York City. THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY, NOW A QUARTERLY. Some o our friends write us, saying that they do not receive the American Missionary regularly. Perhaps these friends have not noticed the annoucement that our magazine is now a quarterly and not a monthly. The last number was issued December, 1897, and this number will appear March, 1898. LIST OF FIELD WORP:ER~. We publish in this number of the magazine the annual list of our Field Workers. We take pleasure in presenting this list, believing that it will be valued, not only by the friends of these faithful workers, but by many others who will be glad to trace their names and locations. Our workers have been epoch makers. They entered upon the work during the first year of the war and followed the advance of the Union armies, and when at length the slaves became freemen, these teachers and preachers were their guides in the paths of industry, knowledge and piety. The work was opportune, for it needed a strong influence to direct their uncertain steps itt the new life that broke so strangely upon them. Many of these workers have devoted well-nigh their active life to this work, and gray hairs are adorning the temples of some who

Their achieve- ments are the ample reward for their self-denying and useful labors and are found in neat homes, family purity, skilled industry in shop and on farm, in well-prepared teachers and in educated and pious min- isters of the gospel. Their work is multiplied by the successful toil of hundreds and perhaps thousands who have been trained by them. May God bless these workers and the peoples among whom they toil the Emancipated Slaves, the Indians on our Western border, the High- landers on our Southern mountains, the Chinese on the Pacific Coast, and the heroic family in far-off Alaska. OUR INDUSTRIAL WORK. The American Missionary Association was a pioneer in introduc- ing industrial training and work among the freedmen of the South. In May, 1867, the Association purchased a tract of land on which the buildings at Hampton, Va., are now located, and agricultural and in- dustrial pursuits were immediately inaugurated. In 1872 a charter was obtained and the property was turned over by the Association to a Board of Trustees, and Gen. Armstrong, with his remarkable enthusi- asm and administrative skill, pushed the institution forward in its mar- velous career. At Talladega, Ala., in 1867, the Association purchased a large building, with forty acres of land attached, and the young men were set to tilling the soil under systematic training. In 1877 the Winsted Farm, of i6o acres, was secured, and ten years later the Newton Farm was added, the whole tract now containing 270 acres. On this large farm is carried forward every variety of agricultural industry in the preparation of the soil, in drainage and irrigation, rotation of crops and the raising of stock. An institute for farmers of the county is statedly held under the College auspices, and annual meetings of several days length are conducted in three or four of the counties of the State. The varied industries of the shop are kept up with the home industries of cooking, laundry, sewing and nursing. A printing office publishes a little monthly which is very creditably printed. Similar periodicals are Published in nearly all our large institutions. At Tougaloo, Miss., the Association purchased ~oo acres of land in 1869 and subsequently added another tract, until now the whole domain embraces 650 acres. A great feature of the institution is its industrial work.

ARE RIGHT. 3 carpentry, blacksmithing, wheelwrighting, steam-sawing, sewing and other branches of domestic economy. Strawberries are raised and shipped to the Chicago market. Our normal schools at Memphis, Tenn., Macon, Ga., and Williams- burg, Ky., have carpentry, printing and other industrial training for young men, and training in the various arts of home life for the young women. At Wilmington, Savannah, Phomasville, Athens, Marion, Mobile, Pleasant Hill and other normal, graded and common schools, the young woman are trained in all things needed in making comfort- able and pleasant homes. In our Indian schools industries are taught and practiced. At the Santee Agency a tract of nearly 500 acres gives room that is well used for farming and stock-raising, and well-arranged shops give em- ployment in carpentry, blacksmithing and printing and other avoca- tions. The Word Carrier, a monthly publication, is not surpassed in neatness of printing by any paper that comes to this office. In other Indian schools various industries are taught, especially those that re- late to the care and impiovement of homes. As evidence that this industrial work is pushed forward, we may mention that in our most recently established school in the South, that at Enfield, N. C., the farm of more than a thousand acres of land (the gift of a generous Christian lady of Brooklyn, N. Y.), a large portion of which is under cultivation, gives ample employment to the student. Cotton, corn, potatoes, and the products of the field, the garden and the orchard are cultivated, while in the shops the boys are taught in blacksmithing and in carpentry, and the girls in the various kinds of domestic work, sewing, cooking and housework. BOTH ARE RIGHT. Mr. Booker T. Washington has written two very able articles in Tue Iii dependent, setting forth the supreme importance of industrial training and work among the colored people of the South. On the other hand, Dr. T. J. Morgan, Secretary of the Baptist Home I\lission- ary Society, has published in the same paper a carefully prepared article, emphasizing the absolute necessity of the higher education of the leaders of that people. Both these writers are correct. No people can rise unless they have the guidance and inspiration of highly edu- cated ministers, teachers, thinkers and writers, and no people can rise if its masses are idle and unthrifty. The American Missionary Asso- ciation aims, in its great work, to give due and impartial importance to both aspects of this great problem.

A peculiar history is that of the five civilized tribes of Indians. It was supposed for a time that they had given the brightest example of the success of the Indian on his reservation. These tribes had forms of government modeled after that of the States. They had governors. legislators, and judges, schools and churches. Many of the members were highly educated. But the outcome has been a failure. The laws are inadequately administered, and crime has been rampant and un- punished. But now the general Government has taken the one decisive and initial step in the matter by directing that the United States courts should have civil and criminal jurisdiction over all cases arising in the Indian Territory, irrespective of race. Thus the wedge has entered, and the reservation system and the dream of Indian autonomyan empire within an empirewill happily soon be a thing of the past. CHINA AND THE CHINESE IN AMERICA. China, with her vast population, has stood almost unmoved for thousands of years. But now disintegration threatens, and the nations of Europe may yet divide that great country anlong themselves, and a new world may arise. In such a change, the influence of Christianity must be a vital force, to guide and strengthen. The coming of the children of China to our Western coast may be a providential element in this change and the importance of the work of the Association among these peoples on our Pacific Coast, so ready to learn, and many of them so ready to return to their native land as missionaries, may be a very significant factor in the future. ALASKA. In 1847, California was almost as little known and valued as Alaska was last year. But the discovery of gold in Suttons mill-race changed the whole aspect of affairs in California, and it is now a State xvith a large and thrifty population, and its western shore is connected with the Atlantic seaboard by railroads, towns and cities. The discovery of gold made the change. The recent discoveries on the Yukon River in Alaska are sending hundreds and thousands of people thither, and while Alaska may never become a California in population, yet a wonderful change is taking place, the end of which no one can predict. But the native population of that distant land must not be neglected nor crushed under the pressure of hordes of gold hunters. The work at our mission station at Cape Prince of Wales should be enlarged and made more effective.

This has been a blessed season spiritually for Knox Institute, Athens, Ga. We observed the week of prayer. We exerted our- selves in every way to lead our pupils to Christ. God heard our prayers and he is still hearing and blessing us. We have had many a hopeful conversion. About fifteen took a stand for Jesus on the last day of the week of prayer; two on the following Monday; thirty-nine asked for our prayers on the following Friday; seven more gave them- selves to Jesus last Friday, and we expect that more will come forward, for the spirit of God is with us. The work moves on smoothly. ORANGE PARK, FLA.A WONDERFUL DAYCONVERSIONS. BY REV. ERNEST R. LATHAM. Yesterday was a wonderful day for us. We observed the day of prayer for schools and colleges, devoting the whole time to religious services. In the forenoon I preached from Eccl. 12:1, Remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth, urging upon the students the impor- tance of accepting Christ at the beginning of life. After the sermon we had a prayer and testimony meeting, in which a large number took part with great earnestness and deep feeling. At the close all but two of our boarding students rose either to indicate a desire to be given up more fully to Christs service or to say that they wished to become Christians at once. In the afternoon a meeting for the girls was held in the Girls Hall, conducted by the lady teachers. The boys had two meetings in their own rooms. All these meetings were very helpful. In the evening in the chapel I preached on the Rich Young Ruler and urged immediate decision and full surrender to Christ. The meeting for testimony following the sermon was one of the most re- markable I have ever attended. Several of our brightest students came out clearly for Christ and nearly every one of those who were not Christians spoke voluntarily of their desire to enter the new life. The meeting was very quiet, but many were weeping, and there seemed to be a deep sense of sin. Every student above the eighth grade is now a Christian, I believe, with possibly one exception, and that one is a young man of fine prom- ise, who said publicly last night that his supreme desire was to be a

The first Congregational Church of Atlanta was founded in 1867 by Rev. Frederick Ayer and wife, of Wisconsin, the former of whom has entered into his rest, but the latter is still living at a ripe old age in her native State. The church grew out of the Storrs School, the pi- oneer educational institution of Georgia for the colored race, and was a response to the conscious need of a more enlig~htened Christianity. The chapel of the Storrs School was its first place of worship, but there was soon felt a need for a regular meeting house. By the aid of the American Missionary Association and of the C. C. B. S., a handsome and substa~tial structure was built at the corner of Courtland avenue and Houston street. The $2,ooo contributed by the people for this building represented no little sacrifice. All of the work on the building was done by colored men, and the neat, slate-covered brick structure, most appropriate in architectural design, is an ornament to that elegant portion of the city in which it is prominently located. A well-appoint- ed eight-room parsonage stands hard by the church, built by students of Atlanta University. The funds for the erection of the parsonage came in part from a benevolent Northern lady, but the greater part was contributed in pennies and nickels and dimes by the people them- selves. The church building and parsonage are located in a commu- nity settled chiefly by white people. Once they made vigorous protest, but since they found it is not a shouting church, no complaint is heard. They often listen to the services from their verandas, and not a few worship with us from time to time, and express themselves highly pleased. The church has been blessed in having such an excellent line of pastors from New England. The first was Rev. C. W. Francis, now a pastor in Connecticut. Then came Revs. B. E. Rogers, C. W. South- gate, S. S. Ashley, C. W. Hawley, Evarts Kent, and S. H. Robinson. All of these brethren are remembered for their sterling character and their faithful labors. The present pastor finds living monuments to the toil of every one of them. They have written their names individually on the hearts of the people.

This church has not had an easy road to travel. At first it was de- spised by the whites and misunderstood by the blacksdespised be- cause of its doctrine of equality; misunderstood because of its newness in these parts. l3ut it was not to be kept back by hatred on the one hand, nor by ignorance on the other. True and tried spirits rallied to its standard, and to-day, in a large measure, it has overcome these things. It bravely stood out for an enlightened Christianity, and its Sunday-school supplied workers for every other school in the city. It espoused the cause of temperance, ~nd has beerr always an uncompro- mising foe to strong drink. It held up the standard of Christian citi- zenship and has stood for an upright Christian life and has been rigid yet loving in its discipline. Its members make themselves felt in the practical occupations of the community. A sociological investigation reveals some interesting facts. They are engaged in about fifty different occupations; 8~ are housewives, 85 are in the schools studying, 31 are hous~hold servants, 28 are teachers, 19 are porters, 9 are waiters, 4 are grocerymen, 5 are postmen, 7 are professional nurses, 4 are shoemakers, 2 are black- smiths, 2 are politicians, 3 are seamstresses, 4 are washerwomen, 4 are postal.clerks, 3 are Government clerks at Washington, 12 are tailors, 3 are janitors, 2 are draymen, 2 are carpenters, 3 are barbers, 3 are car- riage drivers, 3 are carriagemakers, 2 are cotton samplers, 2 are pro- fessional cooks, while the following occupations are represented by one each: upholster, elevator conductor, stonemason, piano tuner, sleep- ing car porter, dairyman, dentist, bricklayer, re~taurant proprietor, photographer, ice cream maker, insurance agent, coal dealer, baker, jewelry clerk, bridge builder, packer, hackman, editor and postmaster (of South Atlanta). May they not say, as Paul: These hands minis- tered unto my necessities? This church has furnished not a few excellent men who are doing conspicuous service. Among these are Prof. R. R. Wright, president State College, Savannah, Ga.; Rev. J. B. Smith, pastor First Congrega- tional Church, Chattanooga, Tenn.; Rev. George V. Clark, pastor Congregational Church, Charleston, S. C.; Rev. John W. Whittaker, pastor Central Congregational Church, New Orleans, La.; Mr. Butler R. Wilson, attorney at law, Boston, Mass.; Rev. B. J. Penny, chaplain Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, Tuskegee, Ala., and others. The present pastor is the first of his race to be honored with the pastorate of this church. He is a product of the American Missionary Association, having received his college training at Fisk University. He began his labors here immediately upon the completion of his the- ological course at the Yale Divinity School, in 1894. With his coming the church entered upon a distinct era of its life. Not without some COLORPJJ MIATISTEPS OP MA CAT PM 7. 35 misgivings on the part of many, the church bravely launched out to assume self-~support. For some time it had been without a regular pas- tor, and the flock was divided and scattered. After three years the menibership has been doubled and the contributions trebled. Last year it contributed a share of the Jubilee Fund of the American Missionary Association. The c~hurch is now united and progressive. There is a growing Christian Endeavor Society, a Working Mens Club for financial aid, a Womans Aid Society for general church work, a Young Mens League for increasing the attendance at the Sunday evening services (printed bulletins of the services being distributed weekly). The church issues the Parish Visitor, a monthly church pa- per which forms a bond of interest by unifying the various forces of the church. The prayer meetings are well attended and the Sunday-school is thriving. New members are received at every communion. The week of prayer is followed by a large number of conversions. The member- ship now numbers 403, making this the largest Congregational Church in the South. Great stress is laid on the quality of the membership, but quantity is not despised, and within the next seven years it is the aspiration of the church to enroll a thousand members. With a contin- uance of the spirit of unity and work, why, under God, should not this end be realized? The possibilities of a thoroughly organized Congre- gational Church of a thousand members in a community like this are untold. COLORED MINISTERS OF THE BLACK BELT OF ALABAMA EVIDENCE OF PROGRESS. BY REV. GEORGE W. ANDREWS, D. D. The so-called Black Belt of Alabama is a wide tract of land ex- tending across the central portion of the State, from east to west, em- bracing twenty counties, more or less. In general it is level, differing widely in this respect from the hilly and mountainous region lying di- rectly north of it. It is the great cotton producing section of the State. The soil is either sandy or a black loam, and some of it is exceedingly fertile. Here you will find the canebrakes and cypress swamps, as well as the prairies and the vast fertile regions.

BY REV. GEORGE W. ANDREWS, D. D. The so-called Black Belt of Alabama is a wide tract of land ex- tending across the central portion of the State, from east to west, em- bracing twenty counties, more or less. In general it is level, differing widely in this respect from the hilly and mountainous region lying di- rectly north of it. It is the great cotton producing section of the State. The soil is either sandy or a black loam, and some of it is exceedingly fertile. Here you will find the canebrakes and cypress swamps, as well as the prairies and the vast fertile regions. Here also are cities and towns of importance, such as Montgomery, Selma, Marion, Greens- boro, Demopolis, Tuskegee, Eufala and the like. In the rural sections of the belt are the vast plantations and imposing mansions of ante- bellum days. Here slavery was at its best and its worst. This part of Alabama came to be called the Black Belt because into it were gathered so many people of African descentabout 4OO,~ oooto ~ll the soil and harvest the crops. Some say the name origin- 36 E V!DENCL OP PROGI?P!SS~ ated from the character of the soil. At the present time the ratio of colored people to white people varies in the different counties from two to six of the former to one of the latter. Averaging the twenty counties, the ratio is about three colored to one white, while the ratio iti the State, as a whole, is about one to one. It is thus seen that the Black Belt has an interest and a character of its own, and problems somewhat more pronounced than similar problems in other parts of the State. This was far more the case thirty or even twenty years ago than now. It is doubtful whether any other section of Alabama has made more rapid progress along intellectual and moral lines the past twenty- five years than the Black Belt. Here multiplied schools and colleges and missionary efforts have been doing their utmost, and great has been the result. Just about twenty-seven years ago the writer came from New England into this Black Belt, curious to see and to hear. One Sab- bath afternoon it was noised abroad that a famous colored preacher was to speak in one of the large town churches. His text was, And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels. Rev. 12:7. A very difficult text. The sermon, however, was almost wholly about John the revelator, and not on the text at all. The preacher began by in- forming his hearers that John was a very wonderful man, and the Romans wanted to kill him, so they put him into a kettle of oil and boiled him and boiled him, but could not kill him. Hence they deter- mined to banish him to Patmos, so they put him on board a ship and sailed for three months over the great ocean, and then they got out the telescope and looked for three thousand miles further over the mighty waters, and there they saw the tip of a great mountain coming up out of the sea, and the great serpents were coiled around the top and were sliding down the sides into the. waters, and there was not a cracker there for John. And so, with scarcely a grammatical sentence and with most unfitting words, he went on for an hour with a discourse full of wildness and weirdness, and full of untruth, while the people looked on with amazement at the wonderful knowledge and power of the man. Twenty or thirty years ago you might hear many similar sermons. But now, were you to go into the churches in the cities and larger towns of the Black Belt, you would find no place for the old-time preacher or the old-time sermon, but instead you would find in the pulpit a man of considerable education and refinement, preaching good gospel truth to an attentive audience. Some of the causes and evidences of progress in the Black Belt, both of preachers and people, may well pass in review at this point. In the first place, at the close of the war there were no schools for COLORAD MINISTEkS OR ALA CK BEL 1. colored people; now you will find at least twelve hundred common schools for them in the Black Belt alone, besides a goodly number of select and higher schools of different denominations, while just up out of the Belt, in a most beautiful and healthful region, is Talladega College, well patronized by the people of the lower and less healthful parts of the State. These many schools could not fail to set in motion great changes affecting the homes, heads and hearts of the people. The ministers have powerfully felt their influence and in large numbers have been drawn into them or have been driven from the public leadership which they once had. The American Missionary As- sociation schools and churches are at the foundation of all that has been accomplished. Others have patterne& after these. Again, previous to the time when the Christian missionary work began in the South, I cannot learn that there was more than one reg- ularly ordained colored minister in the region under consideration, or that there were any regularly organized churches among them. At the present time there are at least sixteen hundred such churches in the twenty counties, and probably nearly as many ordained ministersnot to mention the five thousand licensed preachers, many of whom are hoping fpr ordination. These ministers and churches are working out a great problem. It is true that much of the work is of a low grade, but it is equally true that much of it is intelligent, earnest and effective. There are only a few college and theological graduates among them perhaps not more than half a dozen. There are many more who have had normal and theological training, and a still larger number who have had a partial course of Bible study and who can manage a church fairly well. Of the more than six thousand ministers and preachers of the Black Belt, perhaps it would be a generous estimate to say that one hundred are in a measure educated. These are the leaders of the un- schooled thousands counted among the preachers of the gospel. Other evidences of progress in learning and piety are such as these: All over the State, as well as in the Black Belt, the churches are calling loudly for a more intelligent ministry. Not a few churches have been rent asunder by this issue, the more progressive part going out to organize a new church and secure a more acceptable minister. Scarcely an important church can be found where the subject of a competent ministry has not been agitated. There have also been erected within the past ten years a surprising number of new and greatly improved church edifices. Those whose care of all the churches has led them up and down through the Black Belt declare with emphasis that the quality of the preaching has greatly improved; that more books are bought and read; that the churches are better organized; that the con- ferences, associations and conventions of the ministers and churches flEA CON SAMUEL HOLMAs. are immeasurably in advance of what they were even ten years ago; that the subjects discussed in these gatherings are of a higher order and more intelligently and spiritually handled, and that there is a grow- ing sense of responsibility and an earnest desire to meet it. I have been in many of these gatherings, especially among our American Missionary Association people, where the sermons and papers were excellent. Also,, it should be noted as a hopeful sign that the preachers and many of the pastors are greatly desirous of a more complete literary and theological education. Those who seek such an education are nu- merous. We sometimes have at Talladega applications from fifty such in a single year. It is often pitiful to hear their appeals to be admitted to school, when denial is forced upon them, since there is neither room nor money. Still, there are many who secure books, seek help, and blindly plod on. Let no one suppose the work in the Black Belt or the State is fin- ished. It is only gloriously begun. The Black Belt is probably better provided with schools, churches and ministers than any other part of the State. The mining regions about Birmingham and in North Ala- bama a~-e more destitute and the condition of the people quite as de- plorable. There are hundreds of preachers and not a few ordained min- isters who cannot read or write, and many more who know very little of s q%~~y~.

He was for many years a mem- ber and officer in the Broadway Tabernacle, New York city, and on his removal thirty years ago to~ Montclair, N. J., he was one of the MISS MARY R. MCLANEMISS ANNA COFFIN. 39 charter members of the growing Congregational Church organized there. He was the first man elected as its deacon, and to the day of his death was its senior deacon. At the time of his death, Dec. 9, 1897, he was a member of the Executive Committee of the Ameri- can Missionary Association and the oldest in age and in date of ap- pointment, having held that position for the third of a century. He was a corporate member of the American Board and a vice-president of the Congregational Education Society. He was an officer in the National Congregational Council held in Boston in 1865, and was one of the committee which convened the National Congregational Council in Oberlin in 1871. He was also a delegate to the Interna- tional Congregational Council held in London in 1891. His memory will be warmly cherished in the many circles of Christian service in which he was actively engaged. MISS MARY E. McLANE. The painful intelligence of the death of a most useful and highly esteemed teacher, Miss Mary E. McLane, of New Haven, Conn., which is received by us, will be seriously felt in our missionary work. Miss McLane died at Mobile, Ala., on the 2d of February. Ap- pointed in t.he year 1887 to St. Augustine, Fla., Miss McLane had taught in Fisk University, Tennessee, had been principal of a school at Anniston, Ala., for four years; was then transferred at her own request to Athens, Ala., where she was principal, and after three years service there was appointed as matron in the Teachers Home of Emerson Institute, at Mobile, Ala. In a missionary service of more than ten years Miss McLane obtained a good report as a most faithful and earn- est teacher, thoroughly imbued with the missionary spirit and always actuated by a missionary purpose. MISS ANNA COFFIN. The death of Miss Anna Coffin occurred at her home in Haverhill, Mass. At the age of r8 she was graduated from the Salem Normal School. Having a desire to serve the needy colored people, she ac- cepted a commission from the American Missionary Association to teach in Burrell School, at Selma, Ala. She threw herself into the work with all the ardor and enthusiasm so natural to her, and for the two years of her stay proved a devoted teacher and faithful servant of Christ. Later, for four years, she was connected with Tougaloo Uni- versity, at Tougaloo, Miss., where her unselfish, consecrated life was powerful for good. With grief softened by joy, we count her among the happy saints that dwell in light, and walk with Jesus in white.

THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY. VOL. LII. JUNE, 1898. No. 2. THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT.

THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY. VOL. LII. JUNE, 1898. No. 2. THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT. The outlook for the American Missionary Association while hopeful, yet appeals most earnestly for increased contributions. The debt has been steadily reduced. At the Annual Meeting in 1895, it was reported to be $96,147. At the Annual Meeting in 1896 it was $66,572. At the last Annual Mecting it was $54,945, and now at the close of eight months of this fiscal year, May 3 ist, it is $39,527a reduction from the highest figure above of $56,620.

And now the third part of the struggle confronts usthe redemption of the millions of blacks still in the bondage of poverty, ignorance and vice. This is the culmination of these past conflicts. If this he not successful, the rest has been in part in vain. Four millions of slaves were freed, and now four millions of their descendants are as helpless and hopeless as theyas great a curse to themselves and as dangerous an element to the nation. Now this great and crowning struggle is upon us. Other interests may for a time hide it from view, but it must be met, and here again, only that which costs will win. It is to be hoped that prosperity will return and make it easier to raise the needed funds. But continued depression will not hinder, for, as in the past, so here, self-denial and self- sacrifice will bear the burden which God has imposed, and the result will be success. Our appeal, therefore, for aid in this great conflict is not based on a mere hope of a better financial outlook in the nation, but on the consecra- tion and benevolence of those who are ready to win a success that costs. WAR AND ITS RESULTS. If war is simply to kill people and destroy property, it is an unmixed calamity. But often there are great and valuable results. Our War of In- (lependence gave birth to this nation and to its amazing possibilities. The civil war confirmed the unity of the nation and wiped away the blot and curse of slavery. The present war with Spain is waged for the humane pur- pose of delivering Cuba, our near neighbor, from manifold forms of oppression, cri~)pling its life, hindering its industries and impoverishing its people. It is earnestly to be hoped that the results of the struggle will secure deliverance from these evils. Other blessings are already beginning to be realized. The war unites the North and the South as they have not been for thirty years. Our diverse peoples are united in enthusiasm under a common flag. The colored people of the country invited to join the armies are yet in some portions of the country received coldly or even with taunts and abuse. But they bear it all cheerfully, devoting themselves to the interests of our common country. Two brief extracts from papers edited and published by colored men give evidence of their patriotism and forbearance under these trials. From the Fisk Herald, Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn.: The duty of the colored citizens of America in the impending conflict between our country and Spain is clear, and we are exceedingly glad to note that they are eager to go to the front to uphold the United States in its just demands upon Spain for the freedom of Cuba. No people ought to sympa- thize more with the oppressed than the negroes of America.,

Church: At all times the colored citizens of this country have proven loyal to the Government, and while they smart under the unjust treatment accorded them here, at no time and under no circumstances have they shown a lack of patriotism when the conditions demand it. In the present crisis the colored citizens are maintaining their past record for loyalty and devotion, and though our soldiers of color have been insulted and subjected to great indignities while on their way to defend their country, still their patriotism is not lessene(l nor their ardor cooled. THE COLORED PEOPLES OF CUBA. We understand that about a half a million of the people of Cuba are Negro or mulatto, making nearly one-third of the population, and we learn that there is no such race antagonism between these Negroes and the Creoles as there is with us. The Maceos, who are among the finest speci- mens of patriotic manhood on the island, are mulattoes. If now, Cuba should be made free and become a part of these United States, these colored l)eOPie would claim the sympathies and services of the American Missionary Association in giving to them those educational and religious advantages so promptly and freely given to the emancipated blacks of our own land. Such a service would bind these two peoples together and aid in uplifting both to the intelligence and privileges of free Christian citizens. MISSIONARIES MURDERED IN WEST AFRICA. It is with heartfelt sorrow that we chronicle the murder of six missionaries in West Africa. They were sent by the Society of United Brethren in Christ, whose central office is in I)ayton, 0., and which has for many years carried forward very successful work in the Sherbro country, Sierra Leone, West Africa. This mission was contiguous to the Mendi Mission, founded by the A. M. A.. and worked with it in Christian harmony and fellowship. When the Association retired from foreign, mission work, the Mendi Mission was turfle(l over to the Sherbro i\Jission, and aid was furnished for a time with funds from our board. The slaughter of these devoted missionaries was brought about in con- sequence of a tax on houses or huts imposed by the Sierra Leone govern- ment. The savage people in the remoter districts pushed forxvard a resistance to this tax, and, confounding all white men and women together as responsible, committed these murders and destroyed mission property. Redress may come for property destroyed and other missionaries may take the place of those who have fallen, but we mourn for those who have been martyrs in the cause of the Master.

SAMPLES AND EXAMPLES. BY SECRETARY A. F. BEARD. It is my lot on the routes of less frequented travel to fall in with a class of my fellowmen distinctively known as Commercial men. It is their business to be both inquisitive and communicative. While waiting at some little tavern or railroad station often the right hand of fellowship has been extended to me with the question W hat is your line? or I see you have no trunks, how do you carry your samples? They do not always quite understand our line when I tell them that our samples have learned to carry themselves and even to carry others. Then I am called to explain how they began their intelligent life with us, how we took the raw material and in process of time sent out our products from our schools and institutions with their thought of life widened, with enlarged mental vision and the great majority of them with hopeful religious characters and purposes. Some- times these fellow travelers hear, and sometimes I marvel because of their unbelief. If our readers could see our samples as we see them in their varied vocations and places they would not soon forget them. Not bAg since in Alabama I came across certain ones which are types; and as types I present them. The environment which conditions their work and gives the color of it mus.t needs be included. Situated among the hills of Eastern Alabama is a thickly settled community of people about two-. thirds of whom are colored. It is in the County of Elmore, and bears the Indian name of Kiowaliga. Being near the corner of two adjoining counties, it is a rural centre from which large numbers of children can be reached who ought to be educated, and who are anxious to get an education as their one chance in life, a chance which so far has been beyond them. Kowaliga settlement is remote from any railroad and consists wholly of plantations. These plantations were formerly tilled by slaves, but since free- dom came to those who gave their unrequited labor, the rich white planters have become poor and many of their sons now may be seen themselves following their plows, tilling the fields and driving mules instead of men. The country is fertile and repays intelligent tillage. The American Missionary Association has been applied to repeatedly for help in this settlement of Kowaliga. Under the lead of two young college graduates, both of whom I had met while they were students at Fisk Univer- sity, the colored people with great sacrifice had contributed building material and labor in the construction of a very substantial two-story building with attic and basement, which, however, is yet incomplete and unfurnished. The people with few exceptions, are extremely poor and very ignorant, and have an imperfect idea of what a school means with its proper appointments and teachers.

In answer to the most urgent appeals of the two young educators, I arranged in my recent journeying in the South for a personal investigation. One of the former student acquaintances came for me in his one horse shay and with him as my courier and companion I rode through this rural district. I found that the white farmers are gradually leaving their planta- tions while the colored people are as gradually becoming land owners. Abandoned farms, which through poor culture have not paid the farmers for cultivation, can easily be secured by industrious colored people who are will- ing to deny themselves and work hard for an independent start in life. The father of the young man whom I accompanied on my long ride through the country is one of these who has already won his success. His experience and achievement are typical in illustrating the trends and the probabilities. Mr. J. A. Bensonat this present time forty-six years of agewas born a slave three miles from the great plantation which he now owns. When his owners estate was divided he was a part of the property which fell to an heir in Talladega, Alabama. There as property he was sent, and there he worked as a slave until emancipation came. At the age of nineteen years, with a hundred dollars saved from his earnings as a free man he returned to his birthplace and purchased on credit i6o acres of land. His first year of crops gave him a handsome profit and soon he was able to pay for this land. Again he bought land, and again more year by year. Now I found him with his new house of twelve rooms nearly completed on the site of his old one, the construction of which was under the direction of a Negro contractor KOWALIGA INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL. SAMPLES AND EXAMPLES. hose leading workman was a white man, a native of that same community. The mason who did the masonry was also a Southern white man. While engaged on this job both white men ate at the same table with the owner. In the Merchant of Venice we read of one who said, I will buy 4th you, sell with you, talk with you, walk with you and so following, but I will not eat with you. Neverthel~ss there are times when Necessity knows no law and this was one of the times. It was the common opinion, however, that the excellent mason was much more expeditious than is common about his job, though he was working by the day. His work was completed in about one-half the usual time allowed for it. He stayed not upon the order of his going. Doubtless a second experience would come with less self conquest than the first. iVIr. Benson began his independent life with his unpaid farm of i6o acres. Now he owns 3,000 acres of land paid for and without encumbrance, with the virtual ownership of a fine stream, at some points 500 feet wide, which for five miles runs through his extensive plantations. On this stream he has a brick yard, a saw mill, a grist mill and a cotton gin and compressing mill combined in one and operated by the water of this stream. The farm is worked on shares chiefly, the owner furnishing the land and the stock, the laborers dividing the products half and half. KOWALIGA CREEKTHROUGH MR. BENSONS PLANTATIONS. The leases are taken by a dozen responsible and experienced farmers, who sub-contract with the laborers under their immediate supervision. Of the 3,000 acres, one-half is devoted to corn, cotton, cane, etc.; 500 are used for pasturage and i,ooo furnish ample supply of pine, oak and hickory timber 64 SAMPLES AAY) IKA141/PLEs. for the greedy teeth of his saw mill and the willing embrace of his planing mill. He has cows, cattle, mules, horses, barns and farm implements to meet all necessities. His teams go regularly to Montgomery markets and return with stores for the forty families who live upon his lands and work them, and for the community who purchase of him what things they have. Besides his possessions in land, Mr. Benson haa been able to loan to his white neighbors some $6,ooo, which are secured by mortgages upon their farms. They are running behind and he is running ahead. While J was the guest of this man, opposite me at the table dined a white man who was engaged on the carpen- try of the new house. He was a native Southerner but he showed no evidence of social injury, and if he did his carpentry work as thoroughly as he did that of the table he certainly earned his wages. Mr. Benson has managed with his uncommon ability to pick up education enough to achieve and handle successfully and shrewdly these large interests; not only to know their details but also to realize their significance and some- what of the larger world beyond his own dominions. The success of this self-made colored man may be somewhat exceptional in degree, but it is not at all phenomenal. The story with the variations of personality and place could be told a hundred times over among the colored people who began thirty years ago without a foot of land or a dollar of money. Among the colored people in this rural community this man is one. For the most part life has gone on for the others without much advancement. They have not been left without a certain kind of school for their children taught for three months out of twelve chiefly by students who are themselves getting an education in institutions sustained by Northern benevolence; but the teaching has been without continuity and insufficient to make much impress on character. This far-seeing colored man realized this, and his own influence in life might have been greater if chances had come to him in his earlier days. He has, therefore, given his son a liberal education at college and has daughters now in the same path. When the young man returned from his studies with Christian love in his heart to assist his father in business he took in the situation that there must be a school here commensurate with the needs, where the colored boys and girls might receive the blessings of an education large and thorough enough and of such a positive Christian quality as should change the life of the community. In some aspects it sadly needs radical change. He called to his side one of his mates at Fisk Universitya graduate of the college departmentunder the conviction that for such work as this there was a call for a thorough as well as a technical education; that there must be breadth of mental knowledge and mental vision as well as skill of hand. The young college man with his diploma in his pocket heard the call, as scores of samples from our institutions in our great system of schools are hearing theirs every year; and when once there these two young mer SAMPLES AND EXAMPLES. began what is to be the KOWALIGA ACADEMIC AND INDUSTRIAL ScHooL. They each had taken industrial training enough with their studies to know what they were about. They sought good counsel from others and thus the main school building was begun. Mr. Benson, the father, furnished a suffi- cient allotment of land for the site, the timber and the lumber which his mills sawed and planed, and which his teams carted. The Samples super- vised and the young people and old wrought with their own hands. Gen- erous friends from the North lent their names to the undertaking and from and through them contributions came in amounts sufficient to encourage but not large enough to complete. From these were named an advisory board of friends who with an equal number of colored people in the neighborhood were called trustees. These are the conditions in which I introduce our Samples. It was at this stage of the proceedings when these children of the American Missionary Association called to us for the second and third time, Come over and help us. We came, we saw, and they conquered. How could we do other than honor their faith and patience with our watch and care, and with a little faith on our part that help enough would come to us to make their own help- fulness successful. Here in the darkness these light bearers will give light and save life and they will do this better because light has been given to hem and they themselves have been saved. I have given this story of Samples be- cause it is our latest. Our picture would be out of perspective, however, should it lead any to the conclusionthat this typical illustration of conditions and work is other than a sample in itself. Let it be known that this is what is going on in the work of the American Missionary Association con- stantly year by year, every year, as it redu- plicates itself in every State of the South. Above ten thousand of these Samples are examples. They have taken the torches lighted at our fires and hav~ borne the light of their knowledge on to PROF. T. 5. INBORDEN, riocipal Joseph K.

Samples, also, in strong ministers of Christ, good and true, who are in our line, planting little churches and developing little churches into larger ones, bringing dependent churches forward into self-support, and leading the colored people out and away from old-time superstition and evil ways into the pure life of intelligent faith. In the more conspicuous places of life we find our Samples. Some of their examl)les are already on the shelves of science in our libraries, and are hanging in honor in the galleries of art. Not a few of our graduates 11 Professors chairs. Many are already teachers of teachers. They believe that the Negro has intellect as well as hands.

A Sample. is that which stands in closest relation to the highest forms of the activity of the spirit created in the image of Him who holds nature and man and life alike in the hollow of His hand. Our idea of the educational process is that it is vital and not merely technical; that it is indeed but another name for the unfolding and growth of the human spirit. It has not, therefore, been along a single line of material helpfulness, and its ends are not reached with mere technical skill. Our supreme purpose is to give light and to save life, but we have never tried to save disembodied spirits. We have written Christianity large over and in all of our work in the school. rooms, in the manual training shops, in the farm instruction, because we are sure there is no recuperative energy in the colored race, nor in any other, sufficient to save itself. There is nothing so practical to uplift men or races as Christianity. Said Archdeacon Tiffany the other day at Yale, A prevailing idea is, to create an environ- ment is to develop Christian life. Put people in the right places and they will be all right, a statement, however, which experience has denied from the Garden of Eden until now. Environment is a great factor but it does not furnish the life impulse. Recognize the help of environment but do not depend on it. How often environment does not make character but may retard it. Our work strikes its roots far deeper than in externals. Nevertheless, Christianity assumes intelligence and depends upon it. With SAMPLES AND EXAMPLES. 67 INDUSTRIAL Roo~i, ORANGE PARK, FLA. A SAMPLE. Christian character and intelligence we hear the call for technical skill and provide for it in our industrial annexes side by side with our work in mental development. Hence you will find the Samples in our line as easily as a commercial traveler finds the stores which handle his goods. We have industrial samples also in educated farmers, architects, carpen- ters, masons, contractors, merchants and bankers, who in the industrial com- petitions of life are proving the mettle of their pasture in the fields where they were fed and trained. While we were teaching them first of all to be larger and better in mind, stronger in heart and will, teaching them to have a large and intelligent faith in God, and an honest following of Christ, we have taught them at the same time how to till the soil wisely, how to excel in the trades, how to keep their accounts accurately and how to have accounts to keep. We would like to have the great American Missionary Association constituency see these samples as we have seen them and do see them, not alone in pulpits, in schools and on farms and in trades, but also in commer- cial life and in places of extended influence. We should like to show our Samples in their Christian homes; homes which are not made of hrick and mortar and boards and shingles, but which are only sheltered by these; homes where there is educated intelligence, where there are books and 68 SAMPLES ANL) EXAMPLES. thoughtful minds that can appreciate them; homes where there is re- finement, and where samples are examples of exalted life which in itself stimulates and uplifts life all aroundthese are centres of untold good. The light streams out from them day by day. They are the leaven of a rising race. I go not anywhere in towns or in rural places in any Southern state where I fail to find such samples and examples which in their various ways are thus holding forth the word of life and justifying the farsighted wisdom and benev- olence which planted the system of American Missionary schools upon our COLLEGE GRADUATES.

SMALL SAMPLES, Eu Route TO THE TWENTIETH CENTURY. The little people pictured above are childrens children. Parents who came under o r care thirty years ago, but one remove from all that was wrapped up in hopeless slavery, can now give their children better chances than they themselves could secure in the early days of freedom. In our great system of schools one may look into thousands of such earnest faces turned inquiringly toward the twentieth century. What the coming days shall hold for them and through them for the kingdom of Christ is in good part to be answered in positive Christian schools, where character building is made the supreme foundation for future homes and opportunities, These childrens children began their climbing on a higher round than did their parents, and there are more of them to climb More and more, more and more, Still theres more to follow. 70 STRAIGHT UN! VERSIJY COMMENCEMENT AT STRAIGHT UNIVERSITY, LA. BY REV. G. W. HENDERSON, D. D. Our school year, which closed May 25, has been crucial in many re- spects. It has tested the attachment of the scholars to the school on one hand, and their desire for an education and the willingness of themselves and of their parents to make sacrifices to this end on the other; for the fever and the rigid quarantine delayed the opening in the fall, paralyzed business, and made it difficult for parents and students to earn the means not only to meet school expenses, but even to obtain the ordinary comforts of life. But, notwithstanding these discouragements, our old scholars remained loyal and patiently awaited the opening, and the attendance has been good that in the higher grades coming up to the average figure. How much solicitude, earnest planning and brave self-sacrifice all this involved no one who has not lived in the midst of the people can realize; no one but the 411-Knowing can understand. The list of our various exercises is somewhat long, yet each rel)resents some special department of our work, or is a manifestation of some special form of its manifold activities, and for this reason cannot fail to be of interest to our readers.

The Address, Sunday morning, May 22d, to the Christian Associations by Rev. J. M. Loring, D.

Back from the street and enclosed by larger buildings and shut out from the blessed sunlight and pure air is the house she calls her home. She is the oldest of five or six children. The hard worked mother, who seldom leaves the wash-tub except to retire to her weary couch, is only able to keep this girl in school by the most rigid economy and self-denial, and when she has finished her course, then by her help the others may have a chance. This is one of many cases which the kind and faithful teacher has dis- covered among her scholars. The lesson of it is that the race which has such mothers, so patient, so self-sacrificing, is sure to rise, and is worth taking some stock in by the friends of Christian missions; nor need we be surprised to learn that out of a colored voting population of I 20,000 in Louisiana, nearly 39,000 have acquired within thirty-five years the ability to read and write. The Alumni Association held their annual meeting Tuesday night and listened to a bright oration by Miss Annie Feyer, class p7. And now let us look at the last scene in this drama of the closing year at Cen- tral Church. It is the old storyold yet new and fresh in its human eleme~st and its deep significanceof a packed house, and of an attention so fixed and earnest that naught is heard during the delivery of the pieces, though hun- dreds are standing, save the beating of fifteen hundred fans against the warm air, and the clear ennnciation of the speakers, and the hearty, yet dis- criminating applause. The various subjects treated reveal, as usual, interesting traits in the characters of the speakers, some breathing aspirations after a larger liberty, and a more rational conception of it, some revealing a deep consciousness of lifes noble obligations and splendid opportunities, some insisting on inde- I)endence of mind as the basis of true manhood. The graduate from the de- l)artment of theology pleaded for character in the ministry to the manifest satisfaction of the audience. Here and there were heard echoes of the troubled past, some sensitiveness to present hardships was manifested, but the prevailing tone was a willingness to take hold of life bravely and seriously, to redress the wrong and to glorify the right. In beholding these ten graduatessix from the normal course, three from the college preparatory and one from the theologicalone could not but compare the present with the not distant past, and rejoice in the com- pensations of prudence. The proud father of one of the girls who sat in the audience was once the body servant of Jefferson I)avis. The mother of one of the boys who acquitted himself with more than usual ability came forward at the close of the exercises and looked him in the face for several moments, too utterly happy to speak a word. The exhibits of the industrial department as well as the work of the grades, notwithstanding the shortness of the year, showed no sacrifice of quality. 72 TOUGALOO UNIVERSITY. Thus, in spite of many adverse circumstances, the year has been one of signal blessing in all the departments; the religious life was never sweeter or more earnest, the school was never more thoroughly dominated by Christian motives and principles.

The commencement exercises on May i 9th closed one of the most memorable years in the history of the institution. Quarantine delayed the opening of the year until November 23d, and on the next night the girls dormitory was destroyed by fire. These two things greatly reduced the attendance, and of course the fire entailed a great many inconveniences. The school has gone bravely on, however, and the year is now looked back upon as one of the most satisfactory in work and general results that has been seen. Students and teachers have labored with unusual diligence, crowding nearly the full work of the usual school year into six months. The year has been signalized by having a Freshman class, the first to enter on ~ollege work. Four students have successfully completed the year, and another class of the same size or larger is expected for next year. The president preached the Baccalaureate sermon from Gen. 5~ 24.

Brief addresses were made by prominent visitors, among them several pastors of the white churches in Jackson, the principal of the city schools, and Col. Charles E.

His address was specially interesting in the strong feeling of sympathy which it exhibited for the work of Tougaloo and similar schools, coming as it did from a public man of such prQminence, of a slave-holding family and himself a former slave owner. The industrial exhibit in one of the school rooms attracted very large attention. It covered needle work, cookery, nurse-training, wood and iron work, agriculture, and there was also a fine botanical exhibit. While the manual training work has always made a fine appearance, it was felt that this exhibit surpassed all that had preceded it.

The examinations in the various grades took place on Wednesday, ~8th, lasting through the day. They gave evidence of good, thorough work on the part of pupils and teachers, and that our school is moving upward all along the line. Much interest was manifested in the recitations and discus- sions by patrons and visiting friends. Although many of our visitors were unlettered people, they showed that they could keenly appreciate whatever they saw that was good. A fine display of boys and girls clothing and quilts gave proof of the diligeYce of teacher and pupils in the sewing and dressmaking department, and of the progress made in that line both in the present and past years. A display of household furniture, including tables, stands, wash-stands, a side- board, hat racks and towel racks, showed what our boys manual teacher and his boys have been doing. To this should be added a neat fence, built by the boys in the lower grades. The neatness and thoroughness of the work on the furniture greatly exceeds that of the same grade from a manufactory. But our day of days came on Thursday, when a large audience from various parts of Southeastern Georgia assembled at our church to witness the exeitises of graduation. Although this is only our third exercise of this kind, it has already become one of the great annual events of Liberty and neighboring counties. Notwithstanding the heat of the day and the dust,. the church was packed by an audience of at least six hundred. In thought, force and plainness of expression and delivery, the orations of the young men were well up toxvard high-water mark. The subjects chosen were eminently of a practical nature, and were treated in a very practical and forceful way that went right home to the understanding and appreciation of the hearers, as was manifested by the close attention that was evident on every hand. The music for the occasion was furnished by the Normal department, assisted by the grammar grades, and consisted of well-drilled choruses, a duet and a solo. The exercises closed with an appropriate address by the pastor, Rev. A. L. DeMond, and the presentation of the well-earned diplomas. It should have been mentioned that, on Tuesday evening, a recel)tion was given by the teachers to the members of the graduating class and the alumni, furnishing a very pleasant social occasion. On Thursday afternoon, the alumni of the school organized and hefd its first meeting, consisting of literary exercises; and in the evening gave a reception to the teachers at a neighboring house, thus giving a pleasant ending to the school year of 1897-8. it has been a busy week and one filled with hard work, and moreover, such work as could not have been possible a very few years ago.

No more powerful or far-reaching influence was ever set in opera- tion than that which had its origin in the cabin where taught the first humble missionary among the people freed by the war. The whole power and po- tency of all that has followed was represented in that first despised and humble effort. From that day to this seems a long call. The passage has been made almost unobserved, like the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven. It now not unfrequently happens that a colored public school stands accredited in a community with excellencies to distinguish it as an example worthy of imita- tion. Such is the colored high school in the city of my direct observation, in the two respects of self-control and government of its pupils, and in its movement toward a collection of miscellaneous books for a school library excellencies not ascribed, so far as I know, in anything like the same meas- ure to any other public school. It is perhaps needless to add that the prin- cll)al of this school, as well as the teachers of a large percentage of the other best schools of the city and county, have had their training in one of the mission normal schools above mentioned. To remove or weaken these centres of power would be to strike the most deadly blow at the education of the colored people. It would be the re- moval of so many nerve centres out from which still flow the stimuli needful to keel) in active operation and growing power the entire system. John F. Slater and Daniel Hand and a hundred other individual bene- factors have seen this vital fact and have done what they could to build up and strengthen such influences. The church will make a great mistake if it ignores this fact or relaxes its efforts in the support of the institutions so wisely planned and so greatly efficient for good in the past. NOTES.

NO TES. 77 teachers who owe their education to those of their own race who were so trained. No more powerful or far-reaching influence was ever set in opera- tion than that which had its origin in the cabin where taught the first humble missionary among the people freed by the war. The whole power and po- tency of all that has followed was represented in that first despised and humble effort. From that day to this seems a long call. The passage has been made almost unobserved, like the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven. It now not unfrequently happens that a colored public school stands accredited in a community with excellencies to distinguish it as an example worthy of imita- tion. Such is the colored high school in the city of my direct observation, in the two respects of self-control and government of its pupils, and in its movement toward a collection of miscellaneous books for a school library excellencies not ascribed, so far as I know, in anything like the same meas- ure to any other public school. It is perhaps needless to add that the prin- cll)al of this school, as well as the teachers of a large percentage of the other best schools of the city and county, have had their training in one of the mission normal schools above mentioned. To remove or weaken these centres of power would be to strike the most deadly blow at the education of the colored people. It would be the re- moval of so many nerve centres out from which still flow the stimuli needful to keel) in active operation and growing power the entire system. John F. Slater and Daniel Hand and a hundred other individual bene- factors have seen this vital fact and have done what they could to build up and strengthen such influences. The church will make a great mistake if it ignores this fact or relaxes its efforts in the support of the institutions so wisely planned and so greatly efficient for good in the past. NOTES. CLOSING EXERCISES AT LE MovNE.Le Moyne Normal Institute, Meml)his, Tennessee. closed on the 2nd of June. Not less than 2,500 peol)le crowded the auditorium at the closing exercises.

Among the young colored men who heard the call of God for the uplifting of their race was Mr. H, whose home was in Arkansas. From the first, with him Christian faith meant Christian service, and he at once became active in church and Sunday-school. Nature was generous to him in the saving gift of common sense, and he was not long in perceiving the incom- petency of the ministers to whom the people at that time looked for religious instruction and leadership. A fortunate providence brought him into contact with a teacher from Straight University. The information she gave him of this institution opened the way to execute the purpose which he had been cherishing for some time, to fit himself to become a missionary to his people in his own home. The loss of a leg at this time, through the carelessness of another, instead of dis- couraging, strengthened his resolution. Penniless, like Booker Washington, he set out for this missionary seat of learning, his only resource, prayer, his only support, hope and faith.

His vacations were spent in teaching in the common schools of Louisiana. success always crowned his efforts; his schools were usually full to over- flowing. He taught in the Sunday- schools and made himself useful in every form of Christian service. On one occasion the school house was (lestroved S7RAIGJIY L~VIJ+A~SIiY GAil) LU iii. 79 by fire, but nothing daunted, the enthusiastic teaQher rallied the neighbors, and with them and the scholars he went into the woods, chopped down the trees, hewed the logs, and in a few days replaced the old building with a better, and the school went on more successfully than ever. And so on till the end of his life, difficulties were faced bravely and suc- cessfully. XVith the assistance of friends, a cork leg took the place of the pole which he had lashed to the stump of his lost limb. After completing the normal course, he took the usual course in theology. On Vermillion Bay, rtot far from the Gulf Coast, and at the terminus of a branch of the Southern Pacific Railroad, about twenty miles from Bayou Teche, the stream that keeps green and beautiftil the year round that section of Louisiana which was first settled by the exiled Acadians and made famous rn Longfellows Evangeline, is a thriving village, in the patois of the coun- try the people are called Cajians, a corruption of Acadians. A.s a rule, they are non-progressive and ignorant. But the spirit of modern progress, brought in on the railroad, is putting new life into old customs. In this village just waking into its new life, a humble man of faith, in the year 1885, organized a Congregational church. The organizer of this new church, having only a limited education, soon found himself at the end of his resources. The people were still hungry and still unfed. One plants, another waters.. Inknpwn to the I)eople, and in his own good way and time, God was preparing to answer their prayer for a shepherd who could lead them into the green pastures and by the side of quiet waters. The Arkansas lad, proud of the possession of his normal and theologi- cal diplomas, and now ready for service, was sent by the A. M. A. to this prosperous village in the beautiful Teche country. When Mr. H. arrived in the fading twilight of a June evening, and looked over the situationa rude, ~infinished edifice, a scattered congregation, and a membership that had diminished almost to the vanishing pointfor the first time he began to have serious doubts whether after all he had not mistaken his calling. After much searching, only ten or twelve discouraged members could be found. Neither party was unduly impressed with the other. His doubt that he could do any- thing for the church was probably fully respected by the members as they looked him over and took his measure. The thoughts that came to him that night as he lay upon his restless and dreamless pillow, were decidedly Jonah-like. Nor were the means lacking to follow the example of that ancient prophet. Ships lay at anchor in Vermillion Bay ready to carry him out into the gulf and the great sea beyond. The question what he should eat and drink, and wherewithal he should be clothed, seemed to justify his flight. He was now learning that missionary service is a fine thing to talk about in prayer meetings and missionary gatherings, but that the reality often possesses a stern and forbiddine countenance. Nor was much reflection needed to show him that though the ships might t~ke him away from the STRAIGHT GAY VER~S1T V GRAD GA TE. place of duty, they could not take him away from duty itself; that it were better to bear poverty and privation than to bear a guilty conscience. It is always darkest before day. In a few weeks an ordaining council has assembled, his old pastor and theological teacher being among the number. The harvest was ripe, waiting for the reapers to put in the sickle, and what began as ecclesiastical council ended in a gracious revival. The Arkansas lad was now a minister; the dream of his boyhood was rapidly fulfilling. Three years and a half passed. The field which at first seemed so barren of promises had proved to be rich in opportunities. The Louisiana Congregational Association holds its annual meeting with him. His old pastor sends three other teachers. One of them, the wife of the Boss, returns with the other members of the ordaining council to see what progress has been made. Yes, this must be the place; for the railroad stops here, and yonder is Vermillion Bay, and the anchored ships. This, too, must be the young pastor; his limp betrays his identity, but the face, whose pure native hue three years ago was darkened by the cloud of doubt is now wreathed in smiles. Here, too, is the church, the same, yet not the same; its former disfigured and unwashed face now shines in a new coat of paint; the un- finished nd leaky bell-tower ha3 been repaired and beautified; and those old benches, apparently designed for those condemned to do penance, have been rel)laced by comfortable modern seats, so that the worshippers atten- tion is no longer diverted from the sermon by the painful consciousness of his physical sufferings. But these changes, excellent in themselves, are by no means the highest test of these years of faithful and consecrated service. The twelve mem- bers with whom the new pastor began, have been nearly sextupled; the Sunday-school has been organized, enlarged and developed; a flourishing Christian Endeavor Society started; and right conceptions of practical righteousness enforced. The pastors conception of his ministry includes a practical interest in education, and since his advent an increasing stream of Young people has been flowing to Straight University. Thrifty himself, his contagious enthusiasm has not only affected his own flock, but the commu- nity generally, filling them with ambition to save their humble earnings, and become owners of their own homes, and send their children to school. The esteem in which Mr. H. is held by the best white people of the town was well illustrated at the recent meeting of the State Association. They not only crowded into the church, filling every available space for standing, but stood outside at the windows for hours in earnest attention, in the chilly night air. So great had their interest become that the last night of the Asso- ciation, one white man offered.the l)astor any price for a reserved seat for himself an(1 lady friends, and the town rel)resentative. wrote him a polite note asking 8i I TElLS. for a seat for himself and family, and the next day the white people offered to procure the courthouse, that we might have a larger place for our meeting. Newspapers and magazines are teeming, nowadays, with articles claiming that our peoples supreme need is industrially trained men to indicate the road to prosperity. We gladly concede that there is need enough and room enough for such men, but we part company with these advocates when they intimate that we have too many liberally educated men. The value of such well educated men may be seen in the example of Mr. H., who is only one of many young men who have gone forth from Straight University and other A. M. A. institutions. ITEMS.

NE (V 7 YRE OF INDIAN UPPISING. S3 There must be convincing proof of a good cause and of beneficial results before another Indian war is undertaken under the most favorable circum- stances. In territory there is nothing to be gained. They cling tenaciously to what they have, but they are not grasping for more, for they realize that their vast hunting grounds have been lost to them forever. The young men and women in going half across the continent to Carlisle and Hampton, being educated there and in summer homes in the East, come back impressed with the largeness of the country, the prosperity and vast numerical superiority of the people. They care not to war against so strong a foe. There is an uprising of the Indians, however, which is being too slowly recognized. They are slowly but surely rising above superstition and ignor- ance, yes, even above indolence. The old roving, restless, tramp-like spirit has not wholly disappeared. Some are still living only a stomach level life, with apparently no thought of head or heart. The old Indian life is self centered, hence selfish, ever gathering to itself, never giving out, hence stag- nant, non-progressive. Religion has given the life a new center and indefinite breadth. The Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man are truths which once ac- cepted must change the whole life, and he who teaches them to an indian becomes a friend and not an enemy, and becomes loved for what he brings and not hated for what he has taken away. The Indian and the white man have gone into partnership in building churches. The Indian has been giving liberally to missions outside of his own little land. The progress in educational work has been marked in the last decade. Today every healthy boy and girl over six years of age is supposed to be in school. IViore than half of these are for ten months of every year m a boarding school, well cared for, well fed, well instructed. To me one of the greatest evidences of progress is that so many of them uncomplainingly some eagerlypart with their young children during these many months. The large majority of the parents have never attended school a day in their lives, yet they make this large sacrific~ for the childs good. Ten years ago there was a dance house in nearly every village, and the senseless gyrations were in progress every week. The larger portion of the two weeks rations was given to the dancers feast, and the half fed children were the sufferers. Today there is not a dance house for the whole 90 miles along Grand River. Ten years ago the first Indian returning with his bi-weekly rations would invite his neighbors as they came home to help him eat in one day, often in ODC meal, all this food. For the remainder of the two weeks the family would be driven to live upon other feasts, or to the fields for the wild turnip, the few berries or the plum. If four or more feasts were called daily, the feasts gave way to famine before the homing ration day. Often a week of feasting, then a week of famine, became the rule. This state of things is becoming more and more a thing of the l)ast. Hospitality is as marked, but is not carried 84 NE TV TYPE OF INDIAN UPRISING. to starvation extremes. Recently passing some trees in which twelve or more years ago seven bodies were placed, and contrasting this with the last funeral I attended, impressed upon me progress in another line. Ten years ago last Jan. 12, a day made memorable by the great blizzard which swept ovet our land with death and destruction, in the early morning, long before daylight, I was aroused from slumber by a knock at the door of our little log house on Oak Creek. One stops to think twice before he jumps out of a warm bed when the temperature is out of sight below zero in the room, the fire has gone out and a blizzard is howling outside. The rap- ping at the door was continued till I opened it. A rope was placed in my hand in which were two knots. They showed the length and width of a coffin the man wished to make, and for which he wanted lumber. I had only an old packing-case to give him. At daylight, breakfastless, I went over to the tent and helped him make a coffin from the case, a soap box and a small stable door. It was a crude and weak affair. Ignorant of the language, I could only read words of comfort from the Word of God and try to sing two Indian hymns. Only a few of us stood about the grave, which the husband and myself had dug. In the coffin had been placed dry crusts of bread, waste pieces of meat, a rusty knife, fork and 51)OOn. In the grave were first placed some thick comfortables and a filthy pillow, on which the coffin, warmly wrapped, was l)laced. Then over the mouth of the grave was laid the broken tent poles, the tent covering folded and laid over, then a great mound of earth. At the grave everything the family had was given away. And this was only ten years ago. But how great an improvement on the custom of laying the body on the top of a high hill, or in the branches of a tree, or even leaving the top of the coffin even with the surface of the ground, which has been done away with only in the last twelve years. I have described one of the first funerals in the Indian country that I remember. How different the fur~eral of one of our most faithful women, Mrs. Mary Gilbert, who was buried from our crowded Grand River Chapel April 17th. She had been a great sufferer for years, yet patiently. uncomplainingly, bearing it all. Though in her last sickness there was no. hope of recovery, the most popular medicine man was not sent for. The suffering woman was not put out in a tent to die. Gratefully did she receive the tender nursing of the white lady missionary and the skillful school I)hysician. Tenderly was she cared for to the last in a comfortable bed, in a clean, tidy house. The body was not hurried with unseemly haste to the burial. Through the darkness of night a messenger rode 30 miles to have the agency carpenter make a coffin, neatly cover it with black cloth and white metal trimmings. Through the darkness of another night was it car- ried back. The one service of the Sabbath day was the funeral service. Crowds gathered at the house at an early hour. The long procession of THE CHINESE. S5 wagons was nearly two hours in reaching the chapel. Beautiful and simple was the service, and the closing words of the sorrowing husband will long be remembered, as he spoke of his wifes noble work and trusting faith in the Master. Through the parted lines of the 8o school children was borne the casket, followed by the parents of these children and others to the number of over 200, most of whom in the last eight years have found Christ as an ever- present Saviour, and have learned to know Him as the resurrection and the life. In this belief they gathered about this grave, and from it they went to their homes to live re-consecrated lives. I have but hinted at progress in these illustrations from their life. May the churches recognize this new type of Indian uprising, this progress in many ways, by larger gifts for building much needed churches, and in send- ing out new messengers of the Gospel of peace. The Indians seem ready to do their share, are we ready to do ours? The Chinese. THE CALIFORNIA CHINESE MISSION.

It is a fine building in an ad- mirable location, the best that could be found, overlooking a pretty square, yet standing just within the border line of San Franciscos Chinatown. It is four stories high, with a dry basement arid a flat roof and it is utilized on these six floors. The Noyes Memorial Chapel on the first floor is an attractive place of worship seating easily 250, and is used on week days for the Central School, which is, doubtless, the largest Chinese week-day school in our country.

The total number of pupils en- rolled in our i ~ mission schools thus far is 970: about as many as in the whole year 95 to 96. The average membership month by month has been about 430, and the average attendance 234. Every month has been fraught b with saving light and love for some dark souls. I cannot give an exact statement, but I think that nearly 50 conversions have been reported, making a total, since our work began, of fully i,6oo. II. THE NEW MISSION HOUSE. It has cost us, finished and furnished (so far as it is yet furnished), fully $19,500. It is a fine building in an ad- mirable location, the best that could be found, overlooking a pretty square, yet standing just within the border line of San Franciscos Chinatown. It is four stories high, with a dry basement arid a flat roof and it is utilized on these six floors. The Noyes Memorial Chapel on the first floor is an attractive place of worship seating easily 250, and is used on week days for the Central School, which is, doubtless, the largest Chinese week-day school in our country. Rev. Jee Gain, with his large family, has several rooms as a sort of parsonage. Other Christian families occupy apartments. Home- 36 NE TV ]USS[OiV 110 USE less young men rent some of our I et rooms, and use them for social purposes and as a retreat from the wickedness of almost every other gathering place in Chinatown. Most of these young men were Christians when they came to occupy these rooms. One among those who were not Christians has already turned to Christ, the first fruits in this our ne v garden of the Lord. We owe $13, 250 on this building, of which $2,000 ought to be paid at once. III. OUR WORK FOR MOTHERS AND CHILDREN is to be distinguished from the Rescue work among the female slaves bought and sold for the worst of purposes, who consti- tute a large majority of all the Chinese women in California. This latter work our Presbyterian and Methodist Missions have been do- ing for many years at large expense and with good results. They were prep~ red to take care of all who would come to them, and we did not enter into that field, for we never have used missionary money for the purpose of competition with other denominations, and we never will. The mothers living in wedlock and their children constitute our field, and wherever we have missions this is carried on vith more or less activity according to the number of families and the welcomes extended. In Los Angeles, Marysville, San Francisco and Wat- sonville, there are visitors giving to this un~ertaking so much of their time as to make it necessary to assist in their support. I doubt if any human beings anywhere on earth have more hindrances to overcome, more lions to face, more superstitions to be laid aside in coming to Christ, than have the Chinese women. The tyranny of heathen husbands, the scorn of neighbors, the vague dread of untold calamities which the ghosts of the dead will inflict upon them if not duly worshipped, the stories told them of children kid- napl~ed, eyes put out, hurtful spells thrown upon people by foreign devils; II these and other obstacles must be met and overcome. But Christian kin ness will overcome everything if persistently shown, and I believe the time is coming when the harvest among these Chinese mothers will exceed, NEW MISSION HOUSE. REV. C. L.

THE CHINESE POPULATION in America is, I believe, increasing.. I cannot prove this, and I state it only as an impression. The Exclusion Law at its best is a leaky dike, and the tide washing up against it leaps through and sometimes overflows. How this comes to pass I have not space to tell, but while I do not believe that a/i men have their price, I suspect that some Custom House officials have not always been proof against temp- tation, and are not now. And perjury in the view of a non-christian Chi- nese is a venial offense except when so clumsily committed as to lead to detection. But, no matter how these new comers get here, once among us they are fish for our fishing, and when one of them becomes a Christian and tells me he has been in the country five or six or eight years, I do not feel bound to make him confess the method of his entrance.

THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY. VOL. LII. SEPTEMBER, 1898. No. 3. WE LOOK forward to the fifty-second anniversary of the American Mis- sionary Association to be held at Concord, N. H., October 2527, with exceptional interest. The sermon will be preached by Rev. Doctor George A. Gordon. Distinguished speakers add to the interest of the meetings. Missionaries from the field will present the varied features of their work among the Indians, mountain people and the colored people of the South. The womans meeting on Thursday afternoon will be particularly favored with an a~ddress by Mrs. Kate Upson Clark, and by interesting speakers from the missionary field. We give a cordial invitation to pastors and friends of the Association to come to this beautiful and historic town of Concord at this anniversary. On the last page of the cover will be found full information for delegates and friends who anticipate attending the meetings. Fuller details as to the re- ception of delegates, entertainment, hotel rates and railroad reductions will be given in various religious papers. PEACE. Now, when the war drums have ceased, we can think again of the problems which were before us when Spain added those which are to ask our attention. The greater problem before the American people is not any new one. The Christianization of nearly three millions of colored people yet in illiteracy and moral darkness is a call to Christian love and service as loud as any call can possibly be. The messages of the gospel of Peace, have the only promise of salvation to these millions in darkness at our own doors. To give this to these needy ones, who are not only near to our doors but who are ready to receive the grace of Christ at our hands is the call of Christ for our patience and fidelity. As we thank God that the smile of Heaven rests upon our country once more in peace, we may well xo6 SIL4LL CUBA BE TAKEN FOR CHRIST? turn our thoughts anew to our endeavor for the victories of Peace, and think as fairly of our duty to lift these poor, ignorant millions above the perils of increasing ignorance, as we have been thinking of the deliverance of Cubans from their oppressions and wrongs. What these new possessions now under our care may require of us, is another question which comes with peace. The millions of ignorant colored people in our own country not yet reached need to be saved. They cannot save themselves. We owe them the Christian- ity. which we have. We owe them a chance for intelligent faith. More than forty per cent. of nearly eight millions are yet in density of ignorance andi mentally and morally weak. They can be saved. What has been done is the pledge of what may be done. Let us then consecrate ourselves anew to the victories of peace and make our thank offerings free and large for the glory which comes not of sieges and battles, but the glory of Christian love and faith, of Christian thinking and Christian working, for Gods poor people who wait for their day of redemption.

The Alumni Association of Oberlin Theological Seminary recently passed the following vote: Voted: That the Alumni of Oberlin Theological Seminary suggest to the American Missionary Association the importance of organizing at once for an extension of its educational and evangelizing work into Cuba as soon a~ the deliverance of that island from the dominion of .Spain will permit. At the recent Triennial National Council of Congregational Churche~i held lii Portland, Oregon, reference to the pressing of Christian educational work into Cuba was greeted with enthusiastic applause. And now there come letters from those who desire to volunteer for service under the American Missionary Association to enter upon this work in Cuba and Porto Rico. This Association has not the power to issue bonds for the expense of such missionary campaign, nor to levy war taxes. The significance, however, of these new fields of work and the especial fitness of the American Missionary Association to enter them must be apparent to all our constituents. The inhabitants of both these islands are largely of a mixed race. The splendid band of young colored people in the South have been trained during the years in the American Missionary Association schools and are excellently well qualified for carrying this Christian work among the peoples of these island regions. They are acclimated, born and reared in the southern climate. Some even are immunes.

The government of the United States has just issued bonds to secure a loan of $200,000,000 for the costs of war. It may be interesting to our readers to know that every one of those bonds must be signed by Mr. Judson W. Lyons, a colored man, who succeeded ex-Senator Bruce as Register of the Treasury.

He says, I do. not hesitate to call especial attention to the splendid behavior of our colored troops. It is the testimony of all who saw them under fire that they fought with the utmost coolness and determination. I can testify from my own personal observation that they displayed extraordinary fortitude and self control. Probably no institution in the East sent as large a percentage of students as soldiers to bear the flag of our common country to victory as did our missionary schools. Our students have not been taught that war ms glory. It was conscience with them. They went as deliverers from oppres- sion and saw their opportunity to prove their devotion and gratitude to their country for their own deliverance. They have made their record. Attorney-General Patterson, of Memphis, Tenn., in July 1a~t in an attempt to secure a conviction for the murder of a negro, said: We are to-day engaged in a war with a foreign power, and for the cause of humanity this great country is putting forth her splendid power by land and by sea that Spanish cruelty shall no longer be on Cuban soil, ~ * * * and if we can afford to interpose the strong arm of the nation and expend blood and treasure to protect them, can we not afford by the orderly methods of the law to stop cruelties at home as barbarous as were enacted in Spanish dungeons?
