of twenty-five miles and not a mile of snow. Instead of a four hour
drive I have ten hours of dragging along. But the end comes at last.
At Park Street Station considerable progress is made. The school
attendance is more regular. The children are cleaner; they wash their
faces and comb their hair more frequently. They take more interest in
study. The older ones, too, are picking up reading. In two houses I
found children teaching their parents to read.
The Christians here are holding on and others are coming to their side.
Some have reached the second stage of Christian life. The first is
leaving their heathen ways and accepting Christianity. The second is
giving testimony in public. Wherever you go young Christians give the
same testimony. In Jerry McAuley's mission in New York, testimony like
this was given: "Boys, ye knowed me. I used to drink and fight and beat
my wife and spend all my wages for liquor. It ain't so now; I've got
Jesus, we're pals now. D'ye see this coat? I bought it--it's new. I
didn't buy it at Uncle's. There's my wife, she smiles, now we're happy,
this is the right way." Two young men gave testimony like this: "My
friends, you all know me. I used to dance and paint. I am a Dakota. I
have thrown these things away. I have my hair cut, I don't paint. I have
given the dance up. I believe in God, I believe in Jesus my Saviour, I
want you to know God and Jesus, I want you to be his children. It is
hard for me to talk to you; but I know this is the right way; it is
God's way."
The school-room is open every evening in the week. A substitute is
offered for the dance and heathen amusements. If the work is slow it is
sure. When a young man gives up the dance, paint, long hair, right at
his home, it costs something, and because it costs something he puts
some value upon it.
After spending ten days at Park Street, I started back in the deep snow
and coldest weather of winter. In one place I spent almost seven hours
going thirteen miles. And right in sight of home about ten o'clock at
night I ran into an enormous drift. The horses sank almost out of
sight, and then I had to work. But after an hour of tramping snow and
pulling out with a rope I was on the road again and soon at home. Such
is missionary work at this season of the year.

THE CHINESE.
* * * * *
OUR CHINESE WORK.
BY DISTRICT SECRETARY J.E. ROY.
I have visited a dozen of our sixteen missions on this coast. I have
seen them in their night schools, in their Sunday-schools and on their
anniversary occasions. I have taught in some of the classes; I have
spoken, through an interpreter, to many of them, I am only confirmed in
the admiration in which we have always held the administration of our
Superintendent, Rev. W.C. Pond, D.D., who adds this abounding service to
that of a city church in San Francisco, the Bethany. As he was upon his
annual tour of inspection in Southern California, I met him at San
Diego, the anniversary of whose mission at that time in the Tabernacle
of the First Church I have already reported in the MISSIONARY. On that
tour, he held four or five anniversaries, dedicating a new chapel at
Riverside, setting in order the things that were wanting and doing the
cognate work which only his practised eye saw needing to be done.
Everywhere, confided in by the churches and looked up to affectionately
by the Chinese, his coming is always anticipated with pleasure.
I am delighted with the way in which our pastors and churches where
these missions are located are taking them under their own watch-care.
It is not simply to entrust the work to the California Chinese Mission
and to the American Missionary Association to which it is an auxiliary,
but it is to take the Chinese Sunday-schools into their own
Sunday-school rooms, to furnish teachers for the same, along with the
lady missionaries and native helpers, to receive the converted ones into
church membership, and to recognize the local work as their own. These
Christians seem to realize that whatever views may be held as to the
political economy of exclusion, the duty is clear as to the
evangelization of these whom God has brought to their doors. And this is
not only for the sake of these, but for the sake also of China, to which
land so many of them are now returning.
I am satisfied with the soundness of the work accomplished by this
process in Christianizing these who had known the true God. I heard one
man denying all such result and appealing to Dr. Pond. His answer was
that if it were not so, the fault was in the character of the Christ
himself, so profoundly persuaded was he that some of these had taken on
his spirit and character. One of the most intellectual of these men was
one whom Dr. Pond characterized to me as "a saintly person." The number
of seven hundred and fifty hopefully transferred from Confucius to
Christ in these missions, is a most gratifying result. The work of the
Baptists, the Presbyterians and the Methodists, is also of the same
encouragement.
I am profoundly grateful to God for the women who have addicted
themselves to this most self-denying of work for the Master's sake. As
always in such cases, they are most happy in their work. They see such
progress, such result in character, that they rejoice in their privilege
of service. One of these pastors declared to me that for a long time he
had counted these women as his "evidences of Christianity."
The missionary zeal of these young brethren is most gratifying. Besides
the furnishing of $860 toward the mission of the American Board at Hong
Kong, under Rev. Mr. Hagar, they have started their own missionary
society here to operate in a self-supporting way in China under the
advice and assistance of Mr. Hagar. To this end they have sent the
brother Joe Jet over with $1,400 in hand to start the work. He is to be
one of a committee of three over there to direct the same. They have
also in hand enough to bring that sum up to $2,000. They are to build a
chapel, to open free schools and start out evangelists. They will send
out a missionary physician, educated after the American way, to
accompany the preacher, and two wealthy Chinamen there furnish the means
to support the doctor and supply the medicine.

NOTICE OF MEETING OF STATE UNIONS.
An all-day meeting of the Woman's State Home Missionary Organizations
will be held in the Congregational Church at Saratoga, Tuesday, June 3.
The morning session will open at 9:45. This session is for State
officers only. It will be devoted to the transaction of business and the
discussion of methods of work. The committee appointed at the meeting
last June to consider the question of a National Advisory Committee will
present their report and the subject will be fully discussed.
A cordial invitation is extended to all women interested in Homeland
Work to attend the afternoon session, which will open at two o'clock.
Papers upon subjects of vital importance to the work will be presented
by women from different States. The session will close with a
consecration service. It is hoped to make this meeting helpful and
inspiring, as all the others have been.

A YOUNG COLORED GIRL sought admission into one of our boarding schools,
bringing commendations as to her character. She was received, and an
appropriation was made from the Hand Fund to assist her in her effort
to secure an education. The letter below will explain itself. It gives
an insight of the kindliness of many noble people South toward the
Negro. It also reveals an attitude of mind toward our work in the South
which quite disproves the idea that good people of the South are not in
sympathy with our work. The cases are exceptional where the schools and
the churches of the American Missionary Association have not won both
confidence and gratitude from the intelligent and good among the white
people. This letter is but one expression among many, of the good will
that comes to us as unsolicited testimony to our work. The position and
character of the lady who sent the letter to one of our teachers makes
this graphic and pleasing testimony more valuable.
DEAR MADAME:--I have seen several letters from your pupil A---- B----,
in which she speaks in the highest terms of you, of your generous
kindness and uniform courtesy to her. I am glad A---- has met with such
a wise lady, for she is in every way deserving of your good will. She
lived with me for seven years, and I never saw any person more
competent, more honest and upright. In all that time I never found fault
with any work she did for me, and she was as neat in her dress as she
was morally particular. Her family is in every way respected here by
white as well as black, and A---- has always been a favorite with all
classes of people. I am a Southern woman, and before the war my father
was a planter who owned six hundred slaves and enormous tracts of land.
I merely mention this to explain to you what follows. None of us have
ever had any prejudice against colored people, and we try to help them
with purse and pen, and have always met with gratitude and respect in
return. Of course these people are all freed now, but my sister and I
still own a great deal of real estate, and upon it will be found many
families of colored people who were our slaves. You will see from this
insight into my affairs that I am glad to know of the success of colored
people, and I wish it was so they could all go to school and be
educated, for as a rule, where they _have been_ educated, they have done
well. Wishing you great success, and with personal regards and thanks
for your kindness to A----.
Very truly yours, A.C.H.
