American Missionary Association.

A portion of this number of the American Missionary is filled with a complete list of the names of the persons appointed for the current year to the missionary fields at home and abroad where this Association carries on its work. The work and the workers are earnestly commended to the sympathies and prayers of the disciples of the Lord everywhere.

THAT THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS.

It is needed, and that is just why we fixed upon the amount. We are not seeking to put forth a single effort or to carry out a solitary measure not strenuously demanded by the circumstances. We think Providence has plainly indicated to us that we should enlarge our operations at some points and inaugurate new work at other points. Of this we have been doubly assured by proffered gifts for specific work that needed greatly to be done.

We have accepted the gifts in faith, fully aware that by so doing we have placed ourselves under greater obligations than ever. If God, however, has moved upon the hearts of good people to provide buildings and funds for aggressive missionary endeavors, is it not evident that He designs to sustain the work in its proper development? His promises and providences surely warrant us in this belief. The funds needful for carrying out the Lord’s plans can be secured. Our concern is to understand and perform what we ought to do to obtain them.

We make our appeal, first, to the churches. Is this Association on your list of charities, and does it receive attention at least once a year? Do you take the collection for it in the best way? Do you give it a place in the monthly concert? Is it remembered in the Sabbath School?

We appeal, secondly, to individuals. When you provide for the charities of the year, do you make a liberal provision for the redemption of the colored races in our land? Do you keep in mind their relations to the highest welfare of the country? Do you remember what part the negroes and Chinamen may take in the conversion of Africa and China? May we not rely upon your gifts even by hundreds and thousands as the months go on? We want that three hundred thousand dollars; and nothing is more sure than that it will come, provided churches in their several capacities, and individuals in their large-hearted benevolence, will respond promptly and prayerfully, according to their ability. If men and women are ready to enter the dens of darkness and sin, to baffle and destroy not the troublesome wolf—like young Putnam in our nation’s early history—but Satan and his wicked devices, surely we ought to be willing to furnish and hold the ropes.

THE NASHVILLE CONFERENCE.

A Conference of officers and workers of the American Missionary Association was held at Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn., Dec. 26 and 27. There were present ex-Gov. Washburn, of Massachusetts, the recently elected President of the Association; Rev. W. H. Ward, D.D., and C. L. Mead, Esq., of New York, members of the Executive Committee; Sec. Strieby, and Dr. Roy, Field Secretary. The teaching force was represented by Pres. Cravath and Prof. Spence, of Nashville, Tenn.; Pres. Ware and Prof. Farnham, of Atlanta, Ga.; Pres. DeForest and Prof. Andrews, of Talladega, Ala.; Pres. Pope and Prof. Hatch, of Tougaloo, Miss.; Pres. Alexander and Prof. Jewett, of New Orleans, La.; Prof. Wright, of Savannah, Ga.; Prof. Gordon, of Charleston, S.C.; Prof. Steele, of Memphis, Tenn.; Prof. Hodge, of Macon, Ga.; and Rev. O. D. Crawford, of Mobile, Ala. Gen. Armstrong, of Hampton, Va., and Pres. Fairchild, of Berea, Ky., though not directly connected with the Association, were present by invitation and added largely to the interest of the gathering.

The meeting was convened to consider the whole educational work of the Association in the South—with a view to its unity and efficiency. Many of the teachers present had been long in the service and brought to the discussion the benefits of large experience and wide observation in regard to the educational aptitudes and progress of the colored people.

Among the results were

1. That while the mass of this race must be educated for the common walks of life, yet a competent number must be trained as leaders in their progress; and as essential thereto, they need many a Moses and many an Aaron, and these must be of their own race. For these the best facilities ought to be furnished, and such facilities should be near at hand. Statistics were presented showing that at the West as well as at the South the students in the colleges were from the immediate vicinity. Many a young man gets a thorough education when the college is near who never would get it if the college were distant. This is especially true of the colored student, who can find work or teaching and cheap board near home, which he could not find at a distance, to say nothing of the expense of travel. In view of the facts, the Conference recommended to the Association to strengthen the college departments in Atlanta and Fisk, and introduce college studies in Talladega and Straight as fast as the means and the fit student material would justify.

2. It was shown that more and better theological instruction is needed for the Freedmen. No race can rise without an intelligent ministry. The young colored people of the present generation have had some education themselves and demand better educated ministers, and the half million of children now in school will contemn religion or become infidels if left to the teachings of ignorant pulpits. The Association was asked by the Conference to establish, in addition to the Theological Department in Howard University, a Theological Seminary further South, as soon as practicable, and to sustain in efficiency the Theological Departments at Talladega and Straight.

3. The review of the Industrial Departments was interesting and satisfactory. The farm at Tougaloo produces largely the supply for boarding-house table, and furnishes something for export—especially strawberries. At Talladega the land is neither extensive nor very fertile, yet yields fairly. Both farms furnish labor for the boys, and the boarding departments there, as also in Atlanta, Fisk and elsewhere, give employment to the girls. These Industrial Departments do not pay pecuniarily, but they do pay in healthy mental and moral stamina, and in a preparation for practical life. In view, however, of the difficulty in management and marketing, no additional farm industries were recommended.

4. Much time was given and much interest manifested in discussing the grading and unifying of the normal and preparatory schools, and their relations to the higher institutions. Our most effective work is felt to be here, for in these schools we meet the wants of the masses directly, and lay the foundations for what we do in the schools more advanced. The results of the Conference in this regard, will, we are persuaded, secure greater unity and efficiency in object-lesson teaching, normal training and practical business education, as well as in giving more thorough preparation to those who may enter the colleges.

Among the important results of the meeting are the better acquaintance acquired by the teachers of each other and of the work; and by the officers of the Association of the great and diversified interests intrusted to its care.

A significant and encouraging fact in the progress of the meeting was the voluntary and very welcome presence of Dr. J. Berrien Lindsley, Secretary of the State Board of Education, and Mr. Doak, State Superintendent of Education. These gentlemen expressed, in the strongest terms, their high appreciation of the work the A. M. A. is doing in the South, and from their position and opportunities few men have better knowledge on the subject than they.

The day is not far distant when the South and North will see eye to eye, and will work hand to hand in the great endeavor to elevate the colored race, and the A. M. A. may well rejoice in the part she is taking in bringing about this harmony, and in the great achievement to be attained.

We would again remind our readers that our Annual Report is ready for distribution, and we shall be glad to send it to any who wish a copy, and will so signify to us by postal card or letter.

The Work At Home, a monthly record of the Woman’s Home Missionary Association, is gotten up in an attractive manner; price, 25 cents per annum, subscriptions to be sent to Miss Laura W. Bliss, 20 Congregational House, Boston, Mass. We bid the publication God-speed.

We are happy to announce that through the liberality of Mr. Edward Smith, of Enfield, Mass., we have purchased thirteen acres of land in Little Rock, Ark., for a new institution of learning. A charter for a college and plans for the first school building will be secured without unreasonable delay. The character of the school will be similar to that of our other chartered institutions.

GENERAL NOTES.

AFRICA.

—A German expedition, under the direction of Baron Muller, will set out from Massaoua or Souakim for the country of the Gallas.

—Two English missionaries of Uganda, Messrs. Pearson and Litchfield, have returned to England.

—During forty years, the Church Missionary Society sent 87 missionaries to West Africa.

—Captain Capello will have the direction of the civilizing station which the Portuguese government intends to establish at Bihé.

—A Spanish association, the Exploradoro, is organizing an expedition for the region comprised between the Bay of Corisco and Lake Albert.

—The Church Missionary Society had at last reports but three missionaries left of the whole number sent to Uganda, the capital of Mtesa’s kingdom.

—The Governor of Sierra Leone intends to visit the chiefs of the tribes who live along the Rokelle, with the view of establishing among them a permanent peace.

—Messrs. Cuzzi and Michieli, agents of the Italian Society of Commerce with Africa, have set out for Khartoum, where they will make purchase of gum.

—Count Pennazzi, who has already explored the Soudan, will shortly start for the country of the Gallas, from whence he aims to go directly to the great lakes of Eastern Africa.

—Mr. Godwin, engineer at Cairo, has addressed a report to the Egyptian government showing the necessity of prolonging the railroads to the Egyptian Soudan, using alternately conveyance by water and the railroad.

—We are happy to announce the arrival of Mr. I. J. St. John and Rev. J. M. Hall at Freetown, Sierra Leone, on Dec. 12, after a long and rough voyage. They were in good health and hoped to reach Avery Station that same week.

—Sir John Kirk, who has been so well known for many years as Dr. Kirk, the British Representative and Consul General at Zanzibar, and who earned his knighthood by his services in connection with the abolition of the slave trade and the advance of civilization in East Africa, is now in England.

THE INDIANS.

—A small congregation of full-blooded Chickasaw Indians lately gave $400 for Foreign Missions.

—In the spring of 1881, seventeen Indian slaves at Sitka were freed through the efforts of Captain Henry Glass, of the United States ship Jamestown.

—The Baptists have built a steam launch of 100 tons measurement for mission work in Alaska, British Columbia and Washington Territory. She is 82 feet long, with a cabin 25 x 15 feet.

—The Cherokees, Choctaws, Creeks, Chickasaws and Seminole Indians, to the number of 60,560, have over 16,000 houses. During the years 1879 and 1880, from the 273,000 acres they have under cultivation they raised over half a million of bushels of wheat and 176,500 tons of hay. They have 195 schools with 6,250 scholars, or one-tenth of the population. For education during the year they expended $156,856, or $29.09 for each scholar, 2,650 of whom learned to read the same year.

—At the Klawack Cannery, an Indian one day, abusing some others with offensive epithets learned from the whites, they at once fell to fighting. A trader inquiring what he said to them, they replied they didn’t know, only when white men used those words they went to fighting, and so the Indians thought that was the proper thing for them to do.

CHINESE.

—The return of the Chinese students, about which so much is said, it seems was occasioned partly by the fact that the Chinese government wished to utilize their acquirements. Several of them have been called into the service of telegraph lines just completed, and others will enter the army, the navy and the arsenals.

—The Japanese, the Yankees of the East, have lately been getting up a corner in silk, and European silk traders have been forced to accept the terms dictated by a syndicate of native growers.

—There are now in North China about 100 villages where there are natives who have declared themselves disciples of Christ, and in as many as thirty centres they meet on Sunday for worship and the study of the Scriptures.

—In Japan, 90 per cent. of the people are able to read. In the United States, only 80 per cent.; in England, 67; in China, 50, and in India 5 per cent.

—China spends $150,000,000 annually in ancestral worship.

—Japan has set an example that might well be followed by some continental nations. The government was requested for permission to hold a lottery in order to dispose of such articles as remained unsold at the national exhibition. They refused on moral grounds, and went to the expense of purchasing all the goods themselves in order to avoid the risk of an immoral example.
