found myself dumped at a station, marked Buckland in the railway
guide, three miles away from the town, and the only living creature
I discovered, from which to get directions what to do and where to
go, was a poor little cat that came bounding to my side, purring
out as plainly as anything could be said—“I am glad to see you.”
After a brief interchange of the compliments of the season, I
buttoned my overcoat, adjusted my satchel, and started up the
only road it was possible to take, and in the only direction
possible—for the road terminated at a river, on the bank of which
stood the depot. It proved to be the right way. How easy it would
be to get along if the right way was the only way in which we could
go! As I drew near the village, the cheery notes of the church bell
rung out their merry call, while well-filled carriages, whirling
along in the direction of the church, told me that the people were
evidently interested in missions. I was on hand, and in time. A
fine audience had gathered; but my brethren, where were they? Well,
they did not come; that was all I knew, and in their absence I did
the best I could. The gift of continuance was given me in copious
plenteousness, and the time was exhausted before I was. I failed to
notice, however, whether my audience was not also exhausted. The
next day the _disjecta membra_ came together again at Sherburne
Falls, and henceforth to the close kept together.
And now as I review this entire series of meetings, the question
comes—have they been profitable? Others, I presume, will ask
the same question, and therefore I take a brief space to answer
it as I may be able. The object we had in view was, _first_, to
impart information concerning the work of the American Missionary
Association, and to discuss its claims upon the churches, to the
end that the receipts of its treasury might be increased, and
its work correspondingly strengthened; and, _secondly_, that
the distinctive missionary nature of our work might have a more
prominent place in the religious thought of the churches, and
thus become a factor in the development of such Christian life
as has a tender regard for those who are despised and poor and
oppressed. So far, then, as our object is concerned, we must wait
for time to bring an answer, but the meetings themselves developed
certain data out of which we can construct an answer. The data are
these: _First_, while no contributions were asked for or taken
from the congregation, individuals, self-moved, have handed to us
considerable money that otherwise would not have come into our
treasury, while pledges have been made of amounts far more than
sufficient to meet the expense of both campaigns. _Secondly_, I
took occasion to ask nearly all the ministers, and, so far as I
could, the leading men attending the meetings, the question—“In
your judgment has it paid for us three men to come here and hold
this meeting?” And _without exception_ the answer has been,
“_Yes_,” and in the majority of cases the additional remark, “I
wish it were so you could come again.” With this testimony, and
personal knowledge of the general interest of the meetings, I can
only answer the question raised in the affirmative, with the strong
conviction that time will confirm its correctness.

AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION.
Great honor is due George Peabody, because he donated to the South,
for the purposes of general education, upwards of three millions of
dollars, the interest of which is to be appropriated to the work of
developing the school systems of the various States.
But the American Missionary Association of New York City, the
almoner of funds received from the Congregational churches of the
United States, has already, since the war, disbursed more money in
the South for educational purposes than the entire gift of George
Peabody, and is expending for the prosecution of the same work,
every year, more than twice as much as the interest of the Peabody
Fund.
In this statement no intention exists to depreciate the munificence
of Mr. Peabody’s gift, but to call attention to the fact that
the South owes a debt of gratitude to the American Missionary
Association, which it should not be slow to recognize.
The Association was organized in 1846, for the purpose of “carrying
the Gospel to the poor.” The first school for colored children
was opened at Hampton, Virginia, in 1861. Since that time it has
expended between $3,500,000 and $4,000,000, ninety per cent. of
which has been appropriated to the support of its work in the South.

THE CHILDREN’S PAGE.

AN EXAMPLE FOR THE BOYS.
The following letter explains itself. A boy who gives to the
poor the whole proceeds of his farm, and that within a month of
Christmas, is worthy of special note. We would like to hear from
more such boys.
I have wanted to do something for the freedmen. I am a little
boy seven years old. Last spring grandpapa gave me a little plot
of ground for my vegetable garden, consisting of corn, pop-corn,
beans, summer squashes, Hubbard squashes, cucumbers, tomatoes,
cabbages, watermelons. I took most of the care of the garden
myself; only when I went on a sail my grandma picked the squashes.
I sold the products of my garden to my grandma, and she paid me in
money, amounting to a _dollar and a half_, with which I cheerfully
send to you for the freedmen.

SIX COMPOSITIONS.
A graduate of Hampton writes to a former teacher enclosing sample
compositions of his pupils in “The Sunday School.” We copy from
the _Southern Workman_: as it says; “We do not remember ever
seeing a richer collection of children’s compositions. The
teacher has no reason to despair.”
“VA.
“_Dear Teacher_:—On returning from my school this afternoon, I
thought I would write and let you hear of my sojourning. To-day
is Friday (the last day in school week), and, after a review of
the week’s studies, the children are requested to write short
compositions. I send you six, copied just as they were written:
‘SUNDAY SCHOOL.
‘Sunday school is a good place to go. To keep out of badness. And
learn the words of god good boys and girls goes to sunday school
every sunday when they can. Everybody ought to go to sunday school;
and hear the Bible because it tell them what is right and wrong. M.
F. Hancock.’
‘Sunday school are the place that people ought to go, and learn
to read about god and his diciples, and of him to learn good and
not bad like Biley done to day killed a little sparrow, where will
never do him no harm in the world, and he put the bird to death.
Poor bird. Peter S. Hancock.’
‘Sunday School is a good place that all bad children ought to go
to. And some of the members do not come to the Sunday School. And
this School is a very emportant one. And the people ought make
their children come where gods work are going on. And if they fuse
to come whip them. I do not fuse to come where the Lord work is.
Jerry Chappell.’
‘Sunday School are a place that people ought to go to learn
something about the scripture Sunday School are a very pretty place
to go to learn and to spell and to read People ought to be have
there Selves. Emily Farmer.’
‘Sunday School is a very useful thing; though I don’t go to it but
I hope every body will go if I dont go. Sunday School is a place
where every body ought to go to learn sense, and read the scripture
and hear the word of God. Ellen Coles.’
“These were written by the Fourth Reader class. My school numbers
fifty-one pupils. I have no little task to undergo. Besides
worrying with the children all the week, I have the responsibility
of head Deacon and Clerk of the church. I sometimes despair;
but when I look and see that there is no one in our midst more
competent than I am for either position, I look to the ‘Great I Am’
and do the best I can.
“Ere this, you are somewhat experienced in the movements of our
race. They suit quite well to begin with, but the end, alas! how
different from the beginning! Our people are quick of apprehension,
but do not continue in it.
“Very respectfully,
“Your once pupil and scholar,
“H.”
