Chinese. There are about one thousand Christian Chinese in California.
You may hear in our towns and cities Chinese preachers and Chinese
evangelists preaching the gospel to their countrymen. The American
Missionary Association has put three more Chinese missions in Southern
California during the year 1888, one of them in Tuscon, one in San
Buenaventura and one in Los Angeles. Each of these is doing good work.
As to our mission at Los Angeles, which was only opened April 1, 1888,
it has twenty-five Christian members, and it has nearly one hundred
pupils who attend the evening schools and preaching service at the
mission house from night to night. There are union meetings of all the
denominations of Christian Chinese at Los Angeles, and at San Francisco
and Santa Barbara. These meetings occur once a month; Chinese preachers
and speakers are appointed to address the meetings, a week beforehand.
We have found these meetings a great help to us. Street meetings were
often held in the Chinese quarters in many cities and towns throughout
the State. Thousands of Bibles and tracts in Chinese were given away to
Chinese readers, and thousands of heathen have heard the blessed gospel
of Jesus, and, perhaps, there are other thousands who may give their
hearts to Christ through this operation. Surely God is hastening the
time when His will will be done in all parts of the earth, since the
Chinese themselves have summoned their people to Christ. And now I
respectfully and earnestly request of all the friends of the A.M.A., and
even people of every name, race and creed of this Christian land of the
United States, to follow the example of our Master who has given himself
for us all, and we do ask for your prayers both for the Chinese in your
country and in China.

We would suggest to all ladies connected with the auxiliaries of State
Missionary Unions, that funds for the American Missionary Association be
sent to us through the treasurers of the Union. Care, however, should be
taken to designate the money as for the American Missionary Association,
since _undesignated funds will not reach us_.
* * * * *
One of the most encouraging signs of the times is found in the numerous
letters that are now received at the Woman's Bureau of the following
import:
"We have started a 'Young Ladies' Missionary Society,' and are anxious
to inform ourselves in regard to the different Indian Missions. Please
forward whatever you have that relates to the past and present work."
"We have received the missionary letters you sent and are very anxious
to learn more about the colored people of the South, and also the
Mountain Whites, of whom we have very little knowledge."
"Kindly send us all information at your command regarding the Chinese
and Mountain Whites and the work of the Association among them. The
ladies of our Missionary Society are taking up these subjects as studies
for their meetings."
"The missionary letters are full of interest, and the ladies are always
attentive listeners."
"We take pleasure in enclosing check for forty dollars toward the salary
of Miss ----. The ladies of our society are much interested in her work
and have also been sewing for the boarding hall."
* * * * *
In response to inquiry from many who wish to sew, while also studying
the missions and contributing to the support of teachers, we give below
a list of standard needs in all our mission homes and boarding halls.
_Furnishing._--Sheets and bed-ticks for double beds; pillow cases for
pillows twenty to twenty-two inches wide; bed spreads, large size;
quilts of medium weight; tablecloths from three to five yards long;
napkins, kitchen towels; rugs or mats for the floor.
_Garments._--Underwear for boys and girls of ages from twelve to twenty,
especially night wear, of strong, unbleached muslin; work aprons for
students in industrial schools; dresses of all sizes, of print, gingham
or wool; long-sleeved aprons for children.
_Sundries._--Shoe bags, soiled-clothes bags, spool and thimble bags,
whisk broom cases, comb and brush cases, hairpin holders, pin cushions,
paper and letter racks, bureau covers, stand covers, lamp mats, etc.
Whatever a girl or boy may need away from home to maintain habits of
neatness and order, and for refining influences, these students need in
our boarding-schools. We can always assign special schools to those who
will render this form of help.

CHRISTMAS AT FORT YATES, DAKOTA.
Our readers will be glad to welcome Miss Josephine E. Barnaby to
her new field of work, and to a place in the pages of the
_Missionary_. She is of the Omaha tribe, was a student at
Hampton, then spent some time in a training school for nurses in
New Haven, Connecticut, and is now the assistant of Miss Collins
at the Grand River Station.
Miss Collins writes of her: "Josephine is very much interested
in her work. She said to-day, 'I wish every one interested in
Indians could come here and stay long enough to see how the
foundation _ought to be laid_, and how much better off our
native teachers, Elias and Wakanna, are with the Bible knowledge
they have without the English, than the Indians are who speak
English and are without Christ.' She knows, for her people are
largely godless but English-speaking."
_My Dear Friends_:
We have been so busy getting ready for Christmas that we have had no
time to write to our friends. Miss Collins told the Indians on Sunday
last that we were going to have a tree and wanted all the Indians to
come, the real old ones as well as the young men and women. She told
them of how our Saviour was born on Christmas day, how the people came
and gave him gifts, and we, in remembering his birthday, would give them
little gifts. The next day, a very old woman came to the school-house
and told Mary (that is the native teacher's wife) that she heard we were
going to have a "Ghost feast" and give away everything we had, so she
thought she would come and ask for one of the school-room lamps for fear
she might not get it if she waited, as there would be so many people to
get the things, and she needed a lamp very much.
Doesn't that sound like an Indian? I was very sorry the poor woman did
not get the lamp.
Yesterday morning, while Miss Collins pinned the names on to the
presents, I went up to the school-house, and by the help of two native
teachers planted the tree in a cracker-box and put the little colored
candles on. In the afternoon, we took the presents up and hung them on
the tree; we put up a curtain to hide the tree, and then in the evening
put out several Japanese lanterns on the corners of the house and over
the door, and rang the bell; while the bell was ringing, you could see
the Indians coming from all parts of the village. It was a pretty sight.
The ground was covered with snow, it was just between the light and
dark, and a few bright stars were shining through the clouds.
The room is not very large, so Miss Collins proposed that they should
stand. It was well they did, for they were packed tightly together, the
men and boys on one side, the women and girls on the other.
After all came, we sang "Joy to the World," in Dakota, with several
other hymns; they all sang very loud. Then Wakanna told them about
Christ's birthday, then we lighted the little candles and took the
curtain away, and you can imagine there were some wide-open eyes and
big, smiling faces. There were over two hundred, and each one received
something; as one man came to day and said to Miss Collins, "Why,
Winona, you did not forget the little babies; their names were read out
the same as the old men." The tree was very pretty, and it would be
useless for me to tell what each one received, but the boys were
delighted with their tops as much as the girls were with their pretty
dolls; the old men received feather fans and were delighted. After they
had their gifts, we passed refreshments; we then had the fireworks; the
red light was wonderful to them--the first they had ever seen. They went
home seeming very happy.
We want to thank our friends who were so kind as to send us those pretty
things for the Christmas tree.
I myself have never before spent such a happy Christmas, because
previously all my kind friends have always tried to make me happy, and
this time I worked hard to make some one else happy, and I find that is
the best kind of happiness.
My benches were almost crowded to-day in school, as I had so many
children; married women come with the children; they are all very
anxious and earnest to learn to read and write. I ask you to pray, my
dear friends, that there may be some good seed sown each day, that may
spring up and bring forth fruit for His service.
Truly your Indian Friend,
JOSEPHINE E. BARNABY.
* * * * *
MISS COLLINS.
Our friends will recollect Miss Collins's visit to the East, and
many will cherish a very pleasant remembrance of her addresses
at Lake Mohonk and elsewhere. We give below extracts from a
letter received from her, presenting a vivid picture of her
experience in crossing the Missouri River with the ice breaking
up, the loss of her clothing, and her subsequent labors among
her people at home.
I was so late in returning from the meetings at Oahe, though I hurried
as fast as possible, that the river was frozen, detaining us nearly
three weeks. The ice broke, letting the wagon with all my winter
supplies go down. My trunks with all my clothing also went down. It
wholly ruined all the clothing which could not be washed. My best dress
was a frozen block of ice when I took it out--can never be worn again,
and, in fact, all my clothes were ice. I was so thankful that no lives
were lost that it hardly seems worth speaking of. I find myself poorer,
if not wiser. I am worked down at present. Have kept "open house" now
for two weeks, and my head refuses to be worked any further. Miss
Emerson must wait for my letter. After Christmas I can write. I have so
many patients, and so much work to take care of spoiled clothes and
provisions, and to look out for winter supplies again, that I am not in
a condition to write.
* * * * *
FOR THE CHILDREN.
A few weeks ago, I stood by my window watching the children gathering
for school. My attention was attracted to three girls coming up the
street, one carrying a bundle done up in a handkerchief in one hand and
books in the other, while the other two carried a trunk between them. As
they turned toward the house, I ran down to meet them; they came with
smiles, saying they had come to school. As I bade them welcome, my eyes
filled with tears, and a prayer went up to God that he would bless those
girls and make them a blessing. Susan, Angeline and Emma have proved to
be intelligent, pleasant girls and very appreciative.
I have had one hundred and seven girls in sewing, this quarter; they
seem as interested in their work as ever. Some of the older girls are
doing well in cutting and basting. We hope to have a class in
dressmaking soon. The little ones are very happy to have sewing days
come. I am often met with the question, "Is us going to sew to-day?" I
meet these forty little ones in a large sunny room, (that is to be our
parlor some day, I hope) for an hour and a half each week. Their eyes
brighten at the sight of the basins of water and the work basket. They
apply themselves as demurely as their elder sisters; they love to sing
little sewing songs and hear stories while they ply the needle.
From a teacher in Beach Institute, Savannah:
One of my new pupils has a name much longer than himself. It is Ulysses
Virginia Lee, and in addition, the surname Smith. Another new boy is
Josie _Mike_, and I think it might well be changed to "Mite," because he
is such a small specimen. He could not tell his age, and we thought him
too much of a baby to come, but took him for a week on trial, and as he
is rapidly learning the ways of the school, we shall let him stay. Last
Friday, while trying to impress upon him that only good behavior would
insure him a desk in my room, I wrote some of his sayings. "Why do you
want to come here to school?" "To larn something." "What if you are
naughty and we send you away?" "Go to other school." "Why did you leave
that other school?" "They won't teach me nothin." In answer to the
question what kind of a boy he intended to be, instead of saying "good"
as I expected, he replied, "I'll be a Beach boy." So he was ready with
an answer to every question, and I am only sorry that I cannot reproduce
for you his little face and the funny inflections of his voice, as he
looked me right in the eye, his own little eyes just dancing with fun.
One of the little Indian girls whose name is Polly has just come in to
ask, "Miss D., what is a wog? One white boy called me a polliwog, and I
thought a wog must be something bad."
