venerable father in Beloit, but we were most kindly received by the
lady missionaries in charge, Misses Collins and Irvine. The mission
home into which we were ushered, is a long, tastefully-built
log-house, standing sidewise to the road, having in front two
bay windows, with porch between, and in the rear a large lean-to
attachment for kitchen and laundry. The yard is beautiful with
flowers and plants, and hallowed by a little inner enclosure which
holds the sacred dust of Mrs. Riggs. (Shown in the picture just to
the left of the home.) The large mission garden would be famous in
any neighborhood. It is a sermon in vegetables and small fruits,
well cultivated and highly productive. Just east of the home is
the little chapel, a building capable of seating from 150 to 200
persons, having ceiled walls, and seated with chairs; having a neat
pulpit and a good cabinet organ.
The interior of the home is most inviting. The spacious
sitting-room has little of luxury; everything, however, is most
cheery. The walls are ceiled and adorned with pictures. The bay
window is beautiful with plants and vines and birds. A Steinway
piano is at one end of the room, statuettes here and there, and
books everywhere. During the twenty-four hours of our stay, our
party wandered at liberty over the grounds, visited the chapel,
were received by the Indians in their homes, and in the large room
just described were several times entertained by their singing
while their teachers led on the piano. No honest enemy of Indian
missions could see and hear what we saw and heard, without a change
of heart. Time and again we were melted to tears.
Our visit was entirely unexpected, so nothing could be “gotten up”
for our benefit. We were the better pleased that it should be so.
Everything was impromptu and natural.
The climax came unexpectedly just as we were about to go the next
morning. While two of the brethren were hitching the horses a
party of Indian women and two little boys, who with their baskets
were about to pass the door, were called in by Miss Collins.
They hesitated, and through their teacher apologized for their
appearance, explaining that they had just started on a berrying
trip. One of the men, who had come on some errand, was also invited
in. Then Miss Irvine led on the piano and they all sang from open
hymn books, one after another of the sweet gospel hymns which we
could recognize only by the tunes. As they sang
“Jesus loves me, this I know,
For the Bible tells me so,”
and
“Oh, happy day that fixed my choice
On Thee, my Saviour and my God;
Well may this glowing heart rejoice
And tell its raptures all abroad,”
we could not refrain from tears. Our brethren, who had been
attending the horses, heard the music and came in. One glance
unsealed the fountain, and they too wept for joy. Then we all
knelt in prayer. There were prayers in English and prayers in
Dakota language, freely intermingled, and a pervading sense that
the good Father understood it all. When we arose to our feet the
Indians sang the _Gloria_, and Spotted Bear, by invitation, closed
the meeting with a prayer which touched every heart, although we
could not understand a word of it. The language of the heart is
everywhere the same. And so with hearty hand-shakings and moist
eyes this long-to-be-remembered meeting broke up. We came away
feeling that for many a day we had not enjoyed such a refreshing,
and saying one to another, “Surely God hath made of one blood all
nations of men.”

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT.
REV. W. C. POND.
COMPARISON WITH PREVIOUS YEAR.—The work of the previous year
(1881 to 1882) was by far the largest we had ever done. The same
superlative applies to the year just closed. Our statistical table
for that year contained the names of fifteen schools, with a total
enrollment for the year of 2,567 pupils. This table shows nineteen
schools with an aggregate enrollment of 2,823. The total number of
months during which schools were sustained was in that year 153; in
this year, 187. Our teachers during that year numbered 31; eleven
being Chinese; this year, 41; fourteen being Chinese. The aggregate
number of months of service by our teachers was then 356; the past
year, 423. The aggregate average attendance was in that year 401;
in this, 438. We reported last year 156 as professing to have
ceased from idol worship, and 106 as giving evidence of conversion;
this year we report 175 and 121. But these numbers represent only
those who were in attendance during August, or during the last
month of each school—not by any means the total number of whom we
cherish the hope that they are believers. I am obliged to send
this statement before all the returns upon which it should be
based have come to hand, but I shall be disappointed if we do not
find that more than forty have professed conversion during the
past year, making the total number who have seemed to us to turn
to Christ from the commencement of our work exceed 400. These are
scattered now very widely over the United States and in China. We
hear of many of them as doing good work for the Master and for
the salvation of their countrymen; and those of whom we can hear
nothing, we commit in faith to the Great Shepherd’s tender care.
THE FINANCES.—The expense of this work for the past year has been
as follows: For salaries, $8,697.20; for rent of mission houses,
$2,409; for incidental expenses, including fuel, lights, traveling
expenses of Superintendent and helpers, fitting up and furnishing
new mission houses, printing Annual Reports, etc., etc., $791.85.
Total, $11,898.05. The resources have been: Appropriation by parent
society, $7,000; Receipts to treasury and auxiliary, viz.: From its
own auxiliary local missions, $735.05; from churches, $1,003.60;
from donations by individuals and firms, $2,613, and from Eastern
friends, $512. Total, $4,863. Total resources, $11,863. It should
be added that this statement is necessarily made before the account
of the auxiliary (the California Chinese Mission) is closed, and
that we have hope of some further contributions, sufficient to set
the balance on the right side. The amount raised by the auxiliary
last year was $3,582.30. The increase has been nearly 37 per cent.
The most gratifying elements in this increase are in the offerings
of the churches and of our Chinese brethren. The latter cannot
now be stated exactly, but it is very considerable. The former is
from $532.85 in ’81-’82 to $1,003.60 in ’82-’83; and the number of
churches contributing has doubled rising from 15 to 30.

CONTRIBUTION FROM A LADY MISSIONARY.
We do enjoy our work, and it was never more encouraging than now,
and yet sometimes it grows almost unbearable, to be so utterly
alone. The dear Lord sent a bit of a thought to cheer me to-day,
and I sat down and wrote it out, thinking it might comfort other
lonely workers in these dark corners.
THE LORD’S GARDEN.
(LOVINGLY INSCRIBED TO THE A. M. A. WORKERS IN THE SOUTH.)
A few days’ work In His garden,
The dear Lord gave me to do;
And I went to my task so gladly,
I thought ’twould be something new—
Some dainty task ’mong the flowers,
That would show my skill and taste.
Alas! I sat down in sorrow,
To weep at the woeful waste.
For He sent me to a corner.
Where never a flower could bloom;
A tangled thicket of tall, rank weeds,
As damp and dark as a tomb.
But I said, “The dear Lord sent me.”
So in tears the task begun,
Clearing the weeds and rubbish away,
From morning till set of sun.
Far away I heard the voices
Of fellow-servants so gay.
As they worked in bands together,
While I wrought alone all day,
Tearing my hands with the thistles,
With heart so heavy and sad,
And never a flower to cheer me,
Or a song to make me glad.
But slowly the task grew lighter,
As I cleared the rubbish away,
And the soft brown earth lay open
To the light and warmth of day.
The Master came down at nightfall,
And gave me a smile so sweet,
I knew He was pleased with the service,
Though so rough and incomplete.
For He said, “Dear heart, be patient!
I bring you some seeds to sow
In the soft soil, and you may watch
To see that they thrive and grow.”
So my heart grew light and gladsome,
For the corner dark and wild.
Where I’d wrought in tears and sadness,
In growing loveliness smiled.
I watched and tended my corner,
I gave it most faithful care,
Pruning, training the tender plants
Till they bloomed with fragrance rare.
The Master came to His garden
Again, at set of the sun,
And I ran with joy to meet Him,
For He said, “Dear child, well done!
“For this dark, benighted corner
Was a grievous sight to see.
What you have wrought in toil and pain
Was a blessed work for me.”
Forgotten was all the sorrow,
Forgotten the lonely hours,
As I stood beside the Master
Who smiled upon the flowers.
Sept. 25th, 1883.

THE STORY THAT SUBDUED HIM.
BY MRS. HARRIET A. CHEEVER.
A man of towering form, straight as an arrow, with copper-colored
skin, stood before a bit of looking-glass in a small wooden
dwelling. The clearing about the little habitation indicated
perseverance and thrift on the part of the owner. It had taken more
than that—hard labor and an almost endless amount of patience had
been required to bring this little portion of a “reservation” into
its present condition.
The tawny man regarding himself in the bit of mirror was
unmistakably a savage, and savage enough his regular features
were as he addressed himself at that moment. He was decently
and comfortably clothed, in garments coarse, but clean and not
ill-fitting. But with an angry, scowling face, and quick, fierce
movements, the young giant was throwing off his garments, growling
in thick, guttural tones, “I kill, I shoot, I burn! Pale face
shan’t push Indian any more; I take th’ warpath again, let pale
face beware—him serpent!”
Ten minutes later, and he would never have passed for the same man
first seen. His face was daubed with streaks of paint, making it
hideous indeed. The broad wampum belt contained both bowie knife
and pistol, while a coarse jacket and leggings of wolf-skin made
the tall figure appear animal-like in its ungainly trappings.
But what wonder the slumbering savage nature was asserting itself!
For two long years, Trapper Dan—he liked the name the white men
had given him, successful hunter that he was—yes, for two years,
Trapper Dan had worked and slaved, encouraged by really kind
leaders, and with simple faith in the white man’s promises, he
believed the plot of land he was cultivating so untiringly, and the
rude but enduring little building would be his to keep forever. He
was a bright man naturally, and grasped eagerly the offers made by
the superior class of beings known to him as the pale faces.
But now, when things were working never so easily and prosperously,
the reservation was to be broken up, or at least so meanly
encroached upon, that Trapper Dan’s little mite of an estate was
included in the reservation to be reserved no longer.
What wonder, we repeat, that the barbarous instincts of the man
awoke in vengeful fury toward the unscrupulous destroyers of his
peace and his home? For, after all, the holy instincts clustering
about the idea of a home are easily understood and fostered even by
the savage when once he can grasp its blessed meaning.
In hateful guise and with deadly weapons, the hunted trapper
stole, forth under cover of the darkness, his poor heart thirsting
for revenge. He realized vaguely that the Great Spirit would be
displeased at his anger, but he stifled all that as he vaulted
along toward the building where a great meeting was to be held.
A slight young man just entering on a missionary career had
resolved that on this, his first night of addressing the Indians,
he would tell them in the very plainest language possible the
simple story of Jesus and His cross. Doubtless they had heard it
many times before, but no matter, it should be told to-night mainly
in words of one syllable, so that even the most untaught could
understand its import.
Cowering close by one of the openings answering for windows was the
unseen figure of Trapper Dan, his dark face and darker designs
alike in hiding until the time for action should come. Once the
people were engrossed in the speaker, he would shoot into the
building and bring down more than one pale face on the platform,
then he would hide again, only to pillage and burn later on in the
night.
He did not wish to listen or hear anything that might be said by
a despicable pale face, but when the young missionary, with heart
on fire for very love of his theme, told of the innocent little
baby, born in the far-off East, Dan became unconsciously interested
in _that baby_. Then, in words, every one of which his hearers
understood, the speaker told of the eager, intelligent boy, who
lingered in the temple to ask questions of the wise old doctors.
Then the child became a man and did wondrous things, and for the
needy, the poor, the blind, the sick, the sinning! In most touching
accents he went on and told of the cruel return this dear child,
this bright boy, this loving, helpful man received at the hands
of those he had only helped and blessed. He came at last to the
piteous scenes at the cross, and when he cried out: “And it was all
for you, poor Indian, for you and me—for us all,” Trapper Dan was
surprised to find the tears raining over his painted cheeks, and
the anger and hatred was all gone from his poor heart. He lingered
to hear the young preacher tell of the forgiveness of the Saviour
towards his cruel enemies, then he turned away; and it was not a
savage any longer, but a softened, forgiving man, who went back to
the crude little home on the borders of the great solemn forest.
He wanted now so much to forgive those who were wronging him, that
early the next morning the land agent was surprised to see Trapper
Dan walk into his office, and holding out a friendly hand, say
bluntly: “I forgive all for the dear Jesus’ sake—he die for poor
Indian. I give up home, give up land—um sorry, but I no harm pale
face.”
Later the same day the missionary found Trapper Dan, and was amazed
at the man’s gentle, forgiving spirit. A ferocious look had stolen
for a moment into his face when telling of his labor and his
wrongs, but it died out at the name of Jesus.
It transpired that the little home was not disturbed after all, and
the missionary not long after remarked feelingly to the agent:
“Only give him a fair chance, only treat him like a man and a
brother, treat him fairly and squarely, teach him Christ so he will
know him for a Saviour, and I will answer for the Indian. He may
appear the savage until taught better things, but he has the heart
of a human being after all.”

BRING IN THE TITHES. MAL. 3: 10.
BY NOEL HALL.
Bring in the tithes, bring in the tithes,
The hovering blessing, haste to claim;
Or gold, or incense, corn, or wine,
Bring to the honor of His name—
The Giving One, whose law demands
Thank-loans, returned into his hands.
Bring in the tithes, while faith is warm,
And love rehearses all his grace;
While zeal inspired, would fain go forth,
And bear his fame from place to place:
Your work, his treasury to fill—
The Lord’s, to bless you as he will.
Let love essay its best to bring
Unto the altar of the Lord
Itself, its gems, its precious things,
And, bringing, find a sweet reward.
Behold, your offerings freely given,
Before you know, ’tis almost heaven!
The word stands fast. “Bring in the tithes,
Fill up my house, with sacred store,
And prove me now: see my full hand,
From heaven’s open windows pour
A blessing that is past compare—
Reward of giving blent with prayer.”
A glad and willing sacrifice
This day, this hour, make haste to bring;
Lo, even while you come—surprise!
Because you’ve brought unto the King
Your gifts elect, he all restores,
Himself, his riches, all are yours.
—AMERICAN MESSENGER.
