converted in the meetings, twenty-four were received to the
fellowship of the church, with two who came to us by letter. The
people brought flowers for the pulpit and communion-table. Of the
250 present in the audience, 150 received the sacrament. “The Lord
hath done great things for us whereof we are glad.”
_The Theological Department_ is larger than in any previous
year. It numbers twenty members, young men of zeal and promise,
not only willing but eager to be instructed in the truths and
doctrines of God’s word. Four of the class are ordained ministers,
of whom two are pastors of churches in New Orleans. Not all of
them have the ministry in view. Those who have not, are hoping
through this instruction to become more useful and efficient in
the church. Three theological lectures are given each week, and
there are besides sermons given by the students before the class
for criticism, and discussions on religious topics. Our great
lack is books of reference. We have no systems of theology, and
no commentaries to which the young men can have access. In the
“good time coming,” these we trust will be supplied, and so the
efficiency of the department be increased.
_Church Dedication._—In response to an earnest invitation from the
Congregational Church in New Iberia, I went down on Saturday, the
14th inst., to assist in the dedication of their new church. The
terrific windstorm of last September laid their tasteful and really
beautiful house of worship in ruins. The building was a total
wreck. The storm, as it swept up the bayou, left only desolation
in its track. The people, with commendable energy and self-denial,
bating not one jot of heart or hope, set themselves to the work of
rebuilding. They purchased more ground, put up a larger and better
building, and the machinery of the church is again in working
order. They have expended something like $450, and urgently need
$200 more for painting and furnishing. The people feel that they
have exhausted their resources. It is a noble enterprise, and
should be encouraged. Loyalty to our Congregational polity in
Louisiana should call forth a hearty response to their appeal. At
the service of dedication, the house was crowded to its utmost
capacity. Both morning and night the word was received with all
readiness and gladness of heart. Southern Louisiana is a beautiful
country, unsurpassed for productiveness, and should be dotted all
over with churches where the Gospel in its simplicity, clearness
and power may be preached. God speed the day!

TENNESSEE.
Revival in Fisk University.
PROF. H. S. BENNETT.
A quiet but deep work of grace has been in progress since the week
of prayer in our institution. The week of prayer was observed as
usual with us, but without any special increase of interest. The
question then came up, “Shall we pass through the year without our
usual work of grace?” This led to earnest prayer and consecration
on the part of teachers and Christian students. The result was
soon perceptible in greater earnestness among Christians, and
a wide-spread spirit of inquiry among the impenitent. At this
point the attendance on the half-hour prayer meetings was largely
increased. From six to ten inquirers presented themselves for
prayers from night to night, and from this time the work went
forward. Four students were converted on one Sabbath, and others
were brought out into the light. Thus the work went forward
hopefully but quietly, until, up to this time, fourteen students
have expressed a hope in Christ. This is the second season of
interest during the present scholastic year. Before Christmas, a
brief season of spiritual awakening brought seven students out
upon the Lord’s side, so that the results of the year have been
twenty-one conversions. Several others are still inquiring, and the
work goes on, though with less manifest power than a few weeks ago.
The results of the revival have been seen in the deepening of the
earnestness of Christians, so that much of the power of the good
work does not appear.

THE INDIANS.

CHURCH—CHRISTMAS—BIBLES.
REV. MYRON EELLS, S’KOKOMISH, WASH. TER.
The first Sabbath in this year we received five members into our
church, three of them on profession of faith, two of whom were our
older scholars. One of the scholars whom we received a year ago
died some time since. It was on the Sabbath, and after his brother,
also a member, had returned from church, he took his brother’s hand
and held it until he died, urging him to hold steadfast to his
Christian profession to the end.
We have, to our great regret, been obliged to discipline two
others for misconduct, suspending them for three months.
On Christmas I arranged so that a dinner was prepared for the
oldest Indians, who are unable to support themselves. They enjoyed
it, coming through storm, snow and cold in order to get it. It was
the first affair of the kind we have had for them alone. Between
Government and the Indians, feasts have been prepared for the
Indians in general, but never for the old decrepit ones. They are
nearly always neglected.
For more than two years I have been serving as Local Agent of our
Territorial Bible Society. On making my report for the last year,
I find that I have sold books to the amount of $32.19, viz. thirty
Bibles and forty-five Testaments. Of these, twenty-one Bibles and
eighteen Testaments have been bought by the Indians, for which they
have paid $22.72. These have varied in price from the five-cent
Testament to the royal octavo Bible, gilt, reference, the latter
having been for a newly married couple, both of whom have been in
school.

OUR NEW FIELDS.
It will be remembered by such of our friends as keep a close
watch of our movements, that on or about the first of February,
we commenced work in three new fields, Oroville, Grass Valley and
Marysville. They will read with interest the subjoined extracts
from letters already received:
_Marysville._—I requested Lee Haim to stop at Marysville, on his
way to Oroville, and spend the Sabbath there, preaching as he had
opportunity. I also invited Lem Chung, our helper at Sacramento,
to accompany him, and to spend a week there assisting to start the
school. A postal from Lee Haim and Lem Chung, written in Chinese
and addressed to “The Brethren of the Congregational Association
of Christian Chinese,” has been translated for me as follows:
“Dear Brethren, We write to tell you that we arrived safely
in Marysville a little after 4 P. M. An hour later we went to
Chinatown, and on the street we preached to our countrymen. A large
crowd was gathered at first by our singing, and they listened to
both preaching and singing with great interest. At 7 o’clock the
same evening, we had so large an audience in our school-room that
many went away on account of lacking seats. Our hearts were filled
with joy, and we preached to them from the Chinese Testament, and
explained to them the meaning of the hymns we sang. We trust the
seed sown will soon spring up to a good harvest. Our countrymen
here in school treat us very kindly, and we know this is due to
your and Mr. Pond’s prayers. Please pray for us continually.”
Miss Mattie A. Flint, the teacher, writes: “I have 25 names on the
roll, with an average attendance of about 15. They all take a great
deal of interest, especially in the singing. Already they can sing
three or four of the hymns on the card very well. We have organized
a Sunday-school. Visitors drop in occasionally and express much
interest. I myself am deeply interested, and will do all in my
power to teach them of their Heavenly Father. They are learning to
read very fast.” The Christian co-operation of Rev. P. L. Carden,
pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Marysville, has much to do
with the good promise of the work there.
_Grass Valley._—Rev. F. B. Perkins reports orally, that he
has succeeded in renting a school-room already tolerably well
furnished, and expects to pay the rent by donations made upon the
field. The average attendance thus far is but eight—owing partly,
perhaps, to the fact that the school-room is rather remote from the
Chinese quarter. But there is a good prospect of increase. I wish I
could dare to send a helper to each of these points.
_Oroville._—Lee Haim wrote as follows after spending a fortnight in
his new field: “The school was opened on the 5th day of this month”
(the room not being ready before). “Only had school two evenings.
Then we have vacation two days for New Year’s. At New Year’s day I
made a call at every store (Chinese) in Oroville. On the second day
of our new year I went to the other Chinese town three miles from
here, and when I reached there I first made a call on every store.
After that I preach to them and sing several hymns in Chinese in
the opening” (_i. e._, of his street service). “It seems to me,
by my own judgment (so far as I could judge) they were pleased to
hear. Twenty were present at our last prayer-meeting, and when
the school was opened again, the school-room was quite crowded. I
hope the Almighty God will send His Holy Spirit to remove (move)
their heart, and still lead them coming; that they may hear this
wonderful word, and repent, to be the children of God.”
At a later date Miss Waterbury writes: “We are going on very well,
and have as many as we can teach with any degree of profit. Last
night I should judge there were fifty or more. It is impossible to
tell the exact number, as many come in, take a lesson, and leave
before the school is closed. Two-thirds, I should think, began at
A B C. Many of these are now spelling words. [After less than a
fortnight’s instruction.—W. C. P.] Last night I had twelve or more
in their letters, and taught them from a card hung upon the wall,
till lungs and strength gave out. Among them were two little boys
about six years old, uncommonly smart and quick. Several old men
have been spelling “dog,” “man,” etc. with great patience. The
school is a new thing and creates much interest. Sometimes several
will crowd around, looking over the shoulder and listening eagerly
to the one who reads. I do not think this will always last, but I
think there is a great field here for good. Oh, to be filled with
the spirit of God, that I may be the channel of grace to these dark
souls! Who is sufficient for these things?”
I add an extract from a letter from Miss Helen E. Clarke, teacher
in one of our old fields—Santa Barbara. It is written in the
familiar terms of a friendly correspondence, and not at all as a
formal report; but it gives, for that, all the more graphic picture
of the “ups and downs” of our work:
“I am very sorry to say that Ah Sing has left Santa Barbara.
We shall miss him very much in the school. He went to the gold
mines in Mexico, I think. He said he would write you when he got
there. Gin Gem took the wash-house, [previously carried on by Ah
Sing.—W. C. P.] It makes quite a difference whom they have there,
and I am very glad he has it, for I think him a very good boy. He
said the reason he wanted the place was, so that he could come to
school every night. He and Gin Foy expect to unite with our church
to-morrow.”
EDWARD P. SANFORD,
a director in our California Auxiliary, from its organization, for
many years Superintendent of the Chinese Sunday-school of the First
Congregational Church in Oakland, was transferred to the church
above on Feb. 16th. A fearless friend of all who are unbefriended
by the world at large, an eager, efficient and prayerful follower
of Jesus, a strong pillar in the church, a man who united a careful
and intense energy and an unflinching and unspotted integrity,
with the gentleness and kindliness sometimes supposed to adorn
womanhood alone, genial, generous, helpful everywhere,—how _can_ we
spare him? But how high and holy and beneficent must be the service
prepared for him above, since the Master who never mistakes,
thought good to take him there!

A VOYAGE TO AFRICA—PROF. CHASE TO HIS FOUR-YEAR-OLD BOY.
* * * * *
MY DEAR LITTLE BOY:
It is a good many days since papa left you and mamma, and he has
been sailing on the water most all of the time. I was in the boat
that you and mamma left me on twelve days, as many as you have
fingers on both hands and two more. Then I was on land three
nights. Then I came on this ship, and have slept on it as many
nights as you and mamma both have fingers on your two hands. The
little beds on this boat are just like those you saw.
The boat stopped a little while at some places, and I saw people
without much clothes, like the pictures you saw in the book, and
little boys and girls, as big as you, who had not any clothes at
all. They did not seem to care; but I think they would feel very
fine if they had nice little sailor suits like yours. These black
people eat real funny. On the little boats that came out to get
things from this big boat they had little stoves with one pot. A
boy about as big as Johnnie C——, with no clothes but one piece
tied around him—no hat, no shirt, no coat, no pants, no socks, no
shoes—made the fire and cooked the food. He took some fishes that
he had caught in the water and cut them into small pieces, and then
took some rice, and put the pieces of fish and the rice into the
pot over the fire with some water in it. Then he put something into
a hole in a big log and pounded it with the end of a shovel-handle,
and when he had pounded it enough he poured it on the fish and rice
in the pot. By and by he poured what was in the pot into a large
tray and all the men began to eat. But they did not eat as we do.
They did not have any plates, nor any knives, nor any forks. They
just had one spoon. One took this spoon and ate a little, and then
handed it to another and he ate a little. The others put their
hands into the tray and took out a handful of the fish and rice
and made it up into a ball, as boys where you are make snow-balls,
and then ate it as people eat apples. I don’t think you would like
to have your papa and mamma eat in that way, and I don’t think
you would like to eat just fish and rice, no meat, no potatoes,
no bread, no butter, no pie, no cake. But the rich people here in
Africa have _some_ nice things to eat. Mr. Smith bought a lot of
nice oranges for about a cent apiece. They were real sweet and
juicy and do not make my teeth sore, and we have some real nice
bananas—I wish you and mother had some of them—and where we are to
stop next, pine-apples grow.
It is not cold here as it is where you are. The sun is real hot
and the trees are all covered with leaves and oranges, and bananas
and pine-apples are growing on the trees and just getting ripe. I
expect to leave this ship to-morrow. The next day will be Sunday,
and we shall spend that day in Sierra Leone. Then we are to ride in
a small boat that black men will make go with their oars, like that
boat the boy took us to see the soldiers in last summer, when you
were just a little afraid it would tip over and spill us out into
the water. Don’t you remember?
So in four days more we are to stop going, going, going on the
water, and live on the land in a house once more.
From your loving papa,
T. N. C.
P. S.—We reached Sierra Leone Sunday morning, and found a little
steamer bound for Good Hope, to which we have been transferred. We
went ashore yesterday and attended church at the Wesleyan Mission,
at which a native minister preached, and took lunch with Rev. Dr.
Godman, who is in charge of the Wesleyan Missions. The boat is to
leave at 12 to-day, and we plan to go ashore meanwhile.
