began to tremble. Subscriptions began to be withdrawn. Families were
reported as “going over to the other church.” The croakers rose to the
ascendant, and the outlook grew dark. But silence and patience and
gentleness, and pastoral diligence, having God and the right on their
side, are winning the day; and fresh sunshine, gleaming through the
whole church-work, already “puts to silence the ignorance of foolish
men.”
Although the severe storms of the past two months have interfered with
the attendance on our schools, and even made desirable the temporary
suspension of one of them, yet there is much to encourage in the
reports received. At Marysville three during last month “joined the
Association,” professing thus their faith in Christ, and coming under
probation with reference to reception to the church. At Sacramento the
teacher writes, rejoicing over the return to the school, with heart
apparently renewed, of one pupil for whom she had labored and prayed
with great earnestness, but who first left our school for another,
and then seemed to “go to the bad” with utter recklessness. But the
Lord has brought him back, and he now applies to be received to the
Association, and to be thus recognized as a believer in Jesus. This
Sacramento school, as, also, the one in Stockton, that in Marysville,
and those in this city, are a perpetual joy to me, in the spirit which
pervades the work and the results vouchsafed. Indeed, I know not that
I need except any of our schools from this statement, and I cease to
mention them by name only because the list would be too long. The great
lack just now is Chinese helpers trained for service. To select them
wisely, to provide for their being trained, to put them into harness
at the right point, where by teaching they can learn to teach and by
preaching to preach, is the problem now before me.

WOMAN’S HOME MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION.

MONTHLY REPORT.
The Woman’s Home Missionary Association has made no new appointments
during the past month under the American Missionary Association.
From those already sent into this part of the field the reports are
encouraging and interesting.
From Baxter Springs, Kansas, where are 1,000 refugees and 1,100
white inhabitants, Miss Wilson writes that she is getting her work
systematized, and gives her plan as follows:
“A small unoccupied building, owned by the Hard Shell (colored)
Baptists, has been offered me, on condition that I will put in window
panes and a stove. To do this I shall use a sum of money now in Gov.
St. John’s hands, and I hope this will be enough also for a ton of
coal. In this building I am to open an afternoon industrial school for
women. The different arts of housekeeping will be here taught in turn.
Those who wish will learn to read, and especially mothers’ meetings
will be held. This is the central point of all my work—_the women and
their homes_. Around this will cluster several other departments, for
I have already four or five co-workers. Two of these are good Quaker
women, living in the place and already doing all they can. They will
assist in the women’s school and in visiting at the homes. Another
of the workers there will be John Smith, a colored minister, from
Iowa, educated by the Society of Friends. This man has been on the
ground three months. He is teaching a children’s school. There are
three hundred children of the age to go to school, only about half of
whom are provided for by the town schools. He will be ready to assist
me in every way necessary, and will have one of the departments in
the Sunday-school, of which we have arranged three, beside being the
superintendent of the school. For the use of the Sunday-school we have
three rooms in the public school building. The fourth assistant is Miss
E. Cabell, also colored, a graduate of Hampton. Miss C. joined us from
Virginia in October. She is proving a valuable assistant. She will open
a children’s school, mornings, in our little building, and also have
the Infant Department in our Sunday-school. One other service I desire
to hold, a Sunday morning Bible reading in our little church. And if
we can persuade the ignorant preachers around us, of whom there are
several, to come to our rooms some evening in the week for a weekly
study of the Sunday-school lesson, we shall have gained a great point
with them.”
The work of Mrs. Steele, in Almeda, S. C., proves full of interest.
This place takes its name from a daughter of Mr. Reuben G. Holmes, who
bought this tract of land, 12,000 acres, for the purpose of giving
employment to worthy colored men and enabling them to buy small
farms for themselves at $5 per acre. He now has nearly 150 families,
including more than 700 souls, on the place, and to instruct and care
for these is the work of Mrs. Steele. She writes that she has more or
less care of all, has already had more than 200 in her Sunday-school.
Her day school occupies her from 9 A.M. to 12.30 P.M.; her evening
school from 7 to 9.30 P.M.; and her afternoons she spends in “calling
on the folks.” Having mentioned some touching cases of distress and
how she was able to relieve them, she adds: “Now don’t think it is
all out-go and no income. I called on another family—the mother had
previously called on me and wanted me to cut out a calico dress for
one of her little girls—when my little girl and I came away from that
home, the mother brought me a _fresh egg_ as a present. Now that gift
for her was more than ten dollars would be for some people to give.
The good-will back of the gift made me feel _rich_.” “In my solemn
talks,” she says, “with my pupils, I’ve found some who seem to me to
be of the Lord’s noblemen, so conscientiously living up to the light
and knowledge they have, and eager for more. I’ve formed a temperance
and anti-tobacco society and have quite a number of names already.”
All who had a hand in filling or packing the barrel lately sent to Miss
Carter, in Nashville, Tenn.—as well as those whose hands are filling or
packing or are about to be filling or packing other such choice barrels
or boxes—will be glad to hear of its welcome, and also to learn what
are among the most acceptable things to send in such cases. She writes:
“The barrel arrived Saturday and delights my heart. Were I _a little
darker skinned_ I should say, ‘_it will do me so proud_,’ but as it is
I hardly know how to express my thanks and perfect satisfaction. Did I
tell you so explicitly all my needs—I can’t remember—or did you guess
them? Those test cards are gems: perhaps their value to others may be
beyond price. The papers I’m so glad of, especially the children’s
papers. The pictures cut out by some loving fingers, the picture cards,
tracts, story books, Testaments, _all_ these things meet especial
needs. The children’s clothes, especially the flannels and boys’
shirts, are most welcome. I know this moment the destination of each
article.
“Perhaps that for which I’m most truly grateful, is the quantity of
sewing materials. The Lord has not since I came here let me name
a day for help, but just now I was counting my little funds and
wondering—wondering if the time had come when I should be really
obliged to halt. This supply of materials is a true blessing. Perhaps
my Sunday-school stands highest in importance, but surely this
sewing-school work, with all the influences of good which I strive
to bring there to bear upon the girls, is next. I couldn’t willingly
give it up. Through it the girls are clothing their bodies with their
own honest efforts; are learning Christian gentleness and politeness,
and having their minds stored with good thoughts out of good books.
They let me come very close to them, tell me their needs, their
troubles, and recognize me as their friend. So in furthering this
work, you are setting many wheels in motion. I held a reception at the
‘opening’—opening of my barrel; how enthusiastic and happy we all
were.”
The Association held public meetings in Boston, Mount Vernon church,
morning and afternoon of March 3. The interest of these meetings
indicates, we believe, increasing energy and delight in forwarding the
work. The total receipts of the year, as announced there, have been
$5,077.34. This is not a great sum, but neither is it a bad beginning,
and as fast as it gives pleasure to the friends of the work to add to
our pile, the present year, so fast shall we be eager to increase it by
scattering.
