of our W. H. M. A.? We are anxious to do a much larger work this
year than last. Would that we might multiply it tenfold! So we must
have corresponding purpose and energy in each spoke of the wheel.
Our missionaries already in the field have resumed their labors
after their summer’s rest. Mrs. Babcock has returned to her work
in Washington; Mrs. Steele begins anew in Chattanooga, Tenn.; Miss
Rose M. Kinney is to be supported by our Association in Dorchester
Academy, McIntosh, Ga.; Miss Sarah E. Tichenor, sister of Miss
Lydia M. Tichenor, who has been in Hooper, Utah, has begun her
teaching among the “poor whites” in Greenbrier, Tenn. She writes:
“I think the prospects are that we shall have a pleasant opening,
as they are anxious to have school. I would like a globe and charts
very much, and we shall need text books for some who are not able
to buy.” Miss Alice E. Carter, who has been our missionary in
Nashville, Tenn., this last year, has been detailed from that
work to present the cause of the W. H. M. A. to the churches.
Auxiliaries wishing to have her address them can make application
to the Home Secretary. Under the New West Commission we send out
Miss Snyder again to Albuquerque; Miss Elizabeth Keyes to Bingham;
Miss Emily S. Robinson to Stockton; and Miss Annie E. Shepardson to
Salt Lake City, (the three last named places in Utah).
We are ready to send out more, to double the number of missionaries
at once, and the fields are standing ripe. Does not some one desire
the “honor” of supporting, not “whole stations of missionaries,”
but—a whole mission station? Does not some new auxiliary desire to
undertake the support of a new mission?
The annual meeting of the Association will be held in Boston,
October 26. We expect the cause of the New West and that of the
South to be presented by those personally acquainted with the
matter, and we hope for a large attendance.

THOMAS CHATHAM.
BY MRS. THOS. N. CHASE.
About fifteen years ago, a colored boy whom we will call Thomas
Chatham helped to swell the flock that followed their white teacher
to some tumble-down buildings in Atlanta, Ga.
There is a kind of wild delight about the memory of those days,
“just after freedom,” when the “old uncles and aunties” as well as
the boys and girls endured heat and cold, hunger and rags, inspired
by the blissful idea of getting “larnin’” about as they had gotten
freedom, “kind o’ sudden like.” When they found their mistake, of
course thousands dropped out by the way, but Thomas Chatham was not
one of them.
When we went South in 1869, he had gotten quite a start. I first
saw him in the Congregational Sunday-school at Storrs Chapel, and
noticed that whenever the Superintendent asked a question that
nobody else could answer, a queer-looking fellow with a very thick
tongue usually answered it. In two or three years he was admitted
to the preparatory department of Atlanta University. But how the
boys did laugh at him! How shocking! some tender-hearted child
says. So it is. Many a time my heart has ached for poor Chatham.
But you must remember that colored children are no better than
white ones, and I am sure you have seen some poor awkward white
boy laughed at till perhaps your kind eyes filled with tears. Then
I suppose I don’t see the funny side of comical sights so quickly
as some, and Thomas Chatham did look queer. Although he is quite
short, he has very large feet and broad shoulders, with a big
head set nearly flat upon the latter. Then he was very poor, and
did not know how to make the best of the poor clothes he had. His
shoes were run down at the heel, so that when he walked he shuffled
along, lest, I suppose, his shoes should fall off. He learned with
great difficulty and made very droll blunders, but he never lost
his temper or got out of patience. At the beginning of each year
a new set of thoughtless scholars would make fun of his looks and
his blunders, till his calm dignity told louder than words that he
lived in an atmosphere far above that level where the taunts or
esteem of his fellows had much weight.
His home was two or three miles from school, yet he trudged on
year after year, often drenched with rain and chilled into ague,
hoping that some time he would know enough to serve his people as
a teacher in a country school. Several of his teachers advised him
to learn a trade, judging that from all human appearances he could
never teach or control a school. Others who knew more of his Bible
knowledge and sublime faith thought that, perhaps, God could find a
place for him somewhere; and He has.
Every summer vacation now he goes out into some obscure corner to
teach, and reports come back to us that our best students are not
so successful as he in leading their pupils to that beginning of
all wisdom, the fear of the Lord.
Chatham’s success is to me a living sermon from the text, “Not by
might nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord.” And why that
Spirit helps him seems to be because he is willing to do anything,
to go anywhere, to be only a sower, and let another be the reaper;
in short, while he is weak, yet is he strong, because of that most
beautiful of all graces, humility. How slow I have been learning
the hard lesson, that God passes by the learned, the brilliant
and the talented until they are thoroughly humbled, and, to our
surprise, honors some lowly one who is willing to give God the
glory and not beg back any share of it.
“For thus saith the High and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity,
whose name is Holy, I dwell in the high and holy place _with him
also that is of a contrite and humble spirit_.”

LETTERS TO THE TREASURER.
The pastor of the church at Rehoboth, Mass., writes as follows:
“The enclosed five dollars was handed me after our missionary
concert last evening by a young brother who told me that he had set
apart a small piece of ground on his farm, resolving to cultivate
it for the Arthington Mission in Central Africa. This five dollars
is the first proceeds.”

SAMUEL GORDON HALEY.
Our Treasurer received recently two thousand dollars for a
scholarship endowment fund for the Fisk University, which was
from Mrs. A. M. Haley, widow of Samuel Gordon Haley, and was
acknowledged in the September AMERICAN MISSIONARY. We publish
the following obituary notice of Mr. Haley as an illustration
not only of the excellent character of the man, but also as a
testimonial to the conscientious act of his widow, who is a
worthy Baptist lady, in bestowing in honor of his memory this
amount to promote educational work under the auspices of our
Association, which was dear to him.
Samuel Gordon Haley, son of Dea. Thos. Haley and Eliza Whicher,
was born in Charlestown, Mass., May 7, 1832. He died in Oshtemo,
Mich., January 14, 1881. At the time of his birth his parents were
not Christians, but they so earnestly desired that Samuel, their
first-born, should have eternal life that they prayed that God
would early bring him into His kingdom. Mr. Haley was well known
as a successful educator and genealogist; he was also deeply
interested in historical research. In 1836 his father moved to
East Andover, New Hampshire. There in the picturesque Switzerland
of America, with its skies filled with light, its green plains
and valleys, its bold and its undulating hills, its grand old
pines and their dark mossy retreats, its bald-headed Kearsarge
in the near distance, in full view of a quiet N.E. village, with
its church spires and school-houses, nestling close at the side
of Highland Lake, childhood merged into boyhood, and boyhood
into early manhood. We may well suppose that such scenes would
awaken the imagination of a mind formed by nature to appreciate
and sympathize with the truly grand and sublime in the external
world, and would help to impart to that mind a loftiness of purpose
and purity of thought not otherwise, perhaps, attained. And now,
amid those scenes so loved in childhood and admired in maturity,
near the revered one who bore him, lies his noble form awaiting
the resurrection morn. His paternal home was one of singular good
sense and piety; it was sincere, unworldly, unartificial. Tender
deference was taught toward the aged, and thoughtful regard toward
childhood, the unfortunate, the afflicted. He loved to dwell on the
tender recollections, kindred ties, early affections and hallowed
associations connected with his home; he eagerly sought every
historical incident of his family; and to his father, the aged
sire, who still lives to bless, was he indebted for many incidents
relating to his predecessors. Mr. Haley graduated from Meriden
Academy, Meriden, New Hampshire, in 1856.
He graduated from Dartmouth College, Hanover, N.H., in 1860. Having
chosen teaching as a profession, he at once entered upon that work,
and for ten years his labors were in academies and high schools in
N.H. During the war he spent his summer vacations in Washington,
D.C., and vicinity, in the benevolent work of the U.S. Christian
Commission. And as we turn the pages of his private writings, and
learn of the spirit which actuated him during those dark, bloody
hours of our nation’s history, we find renewed proofs of the true
greatness of his soul. In 1870 he found work in the public schools
in Illinois, where he labored till a short time before his death.
As a teacher, his life was one of untold usefulness. The moral
and religious development of his pupils was of first importance.
He regarded our schools as a place, not so much of learning, as
of preparation for learning; a course of discipline to draw out
and sharpen faculties; a means to bring the student up to manhood
with ability to perform thenceforth the hard work of a man in his
allotted sphere. To that end no part of fundamental study could
be spared. A thorough, exact scholar himself, he was satisfied
with nothing less than thoroughness and exactness in those whom he
taught. Patient, forbearing, forgiving, he held a high place in the
hearts of his pupils, and with all his gentleness of spirit he ever
maintained a purity of discipline.
Mr. Haley first made a public profession of religion and united
with the Congregational church while at Meriden Academy. But so
true and pure had been his life that little change could be seen
in him after this profession. He subsequently became a member at
Hopkinton, N.H., then at Dover, N.H. He united with the church at
Providence, Ill., in 1872, and was a member of that church at the
time of his death.
As a Christian, he was undemonstrative, but he was faithfulness
itself. In all his relations of life did he sow the seeds of love
to his Master. He was unsuspicious, resented no evil, indulged
in no gossip, perpetrated no slander, exaggerated not his
statements, never wore two faces, nor spoke with two tongues. He
was guileless. A sectarian, a partisan, a demagogue, a sycophant,
a hypocrite, he abhorred. He would do nothing with them but in
matters of necessary business. His finer sentiments were not
projected. He restrained them through natural diffidence, but when
reached they were responsive, pure, refreshing, tempered with
Christian meekness and sobriety.
As he approached the realities of that world for which he had
lived, he seemed to enter into them as much as man ever can until
he has passed within its portals. His spirit gave utterance to
expressions which indicated how bright was the source from which
had sprung the power and preciousness of his life.
Those who mourn his loss have consolation, not only in the
remembrance of those sterling virtues which gave him professional
dignity and power, but in that great, tender and noble nature which
made those virtues subservient to the familiar every-day enjoyments
in a Christian life. They will love to keep in memory his play
equally with his work; his genial, frank and sometimes sportive
intercourse not less than his graver counsels which instructed them.
The whole example and image which ever lives in their hearts, of
sanctified intellect, sentiment and affection, constituting his
well adjusted and honorable manhood, will be their best earthly
incentive to imitate his virtues and partake of his reward.
