myself. I don’t known any thing when I first came to school,
because I never school at my own home. and I like going to school
at Hampton better than my own home. because I learn here more
then my own home. And I like to work. if I learn how to work,
when I go home. I think I must help some other Indians that dont
know any thing about the white mans way or about Gods word, and
I think that is best way to teach each other. and I known how
to write. but I dont known how to read yet. I know how to talk
englist but not much. And we are work every afternoon. so we like
it very well. and school every morning. and we like it to learn
a good way. We dont want be a bad man. because if we are bad God
would not like that kind of man. so we want be a good. and we
learn the white mans way now and we were past the Indians way
about too years ago. and we take the new way. All the Indians boy
and gurls very well. and doing well. and we had very pleasant
time last summer over Shell Banks. we had work out there and when
we done our work we used play out there. I wish to work out there
a gain next summer. I heard that them Indians at my home learn
some thing now. they don’t try to learn befor I come here, and I
am very glad that they try to learn some thing now. and I wish
that the Indian boys and girls come here to school and learn some
thing for their people. now our lesson in Arithmetic and reader.
and English too. and I like to study them very much. and I been
here two years. so I learn some thing now. but not much. and some
of the Indian boys went over Mass last summer and went back here
again last oct. and they told us that the white people are good.
because they are kind to the Indian boys and girls. that is all I
have to say to you from your friend

HOW SPEEDS THE WORK?
REV. W. C. POND, SAN FRANCISCO.
_The Marysville Mission_, being viewed as no longer an experiment,
celebrated its first anniversary on Nov. 21st, at the Presbyterian
Church in that city. Its spacious and beautiful auditorium was
crowded, the Methodist congregation uniting in the services.
The exercises were very simple, consisting of recitations of
Scripture, singing, and an address by our helper, Lee Sam. But
the interest rose as the service moved on, till after a specially
excellent recitation of I Cor., 13th chap., and especially after
Lee Sam’s address, it burst forth in applause. At almost all our
anniversaries, held though they are in churches and on Sunday
evenings, this expression of interest takes place, unsought,
unexpected, undesired, but showing in a gratifying way that
whatever hard things men may say of a class of people, as a class,
of a race as a race, in the abstract, yet bring them face to
face with individuals of that class or race, trying to improve
themselves, struggling upwards toward intelligence and freedom and
Christianity, and they cannot refuse them the tribute of their
good will, their cheery God-speed. There were Congressmen in the
olden times who voted for the Fugitive Slave Law, and orators who
defended it before the people, who could not possibly have helped
wishing success to any individual fugitive if they actually saw him
making for liberty with his eye on the north star, and even giving
the poor fellow a sly lift that way if they had an opportunity. A
warm heart is too strong for a wrong head under such circumstances.
And so our anti-Chinese friends at Marysville gave us their
presence at our Anniversary, curious to see what could be done,
and before we were through bade us God-speed and helped us with a
generous contribution. On the day following, a well-officered local
auxiliary, like those at Sacramento, Stockton, Petaluma and Los
Angeles, was organized. The school is now established in permanent
quarters, furnished with all that is indispensable to a comfortable
mission house, and sets forth on its second year with promise of
good work and glad harvests.
_New Schools._--In this month of December, in which I am writing,
we have thirteen schools in operation, a larger number than ever
before. The Oroville school resumed its sessions December 1st under
the care of Miss Helen Ostrom, whose father, once a missionary at
Amoy, China, has taken pastoral charge of the Congregational Church
in that place. It starts well, and engages the interest not only
of the Chinese, but also of the better element among the Christian
people of that town, to a greater degree, I believe, than ever
before.
Of the two new schools, one is in Oakland, occupying an apartment
kindly granted for the purpose by the Pacific Theological Seminary,
situated about 1¼ miles from the school already sustained in
rooms supplied by the First Congregational Church. It is near the
Plymouth Avenue Church, and will, we trust, be taken under its
wing. Miss Maria W. Bye is its faithful and devoted teacher. The
other new school is at Point Pedro, the Chinese fishing village
of which some account was given in the December MISSIONARY. On
visiting the place I found it to consist of six or seven distinct
villages situated on the shore of little coves, and separated from
each other by points of greater or less altitude jutting out boldly
into the Bay. The population, estimated at about 600, is thus
divided into little groups of, say, 100 people each; the distance
from the nearest to the most remote being not less than two miles.
It calls for _two_ schools, and affording, as it does, a field for
missionary service among women and children as well as men, it
needs at least one teacher able to give not only evenings, but the
daytime also to the work. We are at present feeling our way under
conditions quite different from those in any of our older schools,
praying that the wisdom from above may save us from the mistakes
into which our own unaided counsel would plunge us certainly; and
that, as we learn how to reach these dark and scattered multitudes,
we may have means adequate to the task. “As thy days so shall thy
strength be.”
_The Money Question._--Many who count themselves specially prudent
find no room for the exercise of faith in matters of cash. But I
have not so read either the word or the providence of God. We are
walking by faith in laying out our missionary work for this new
year. In place of the $1,610.70 received last year over and above
the regular appropriation from the treasury in New York, we rely
upon raising $5,000 this year. We cannot do the work waiting to be
done, we cannot answer the Master’s call with any less sum than
that. Every cent of it can be used without extravagance. Indeed we
can practice a more effective economy on an income of $10,000 per
annum than on one of $7,600. A certain amount is necessary even
to _start_. There are some heavy expenses from which there is no
escape however we may cut down the work, unless, indeed, we cut its
life out altogether. These would not be materially increased even
though the service rendered were increased three-fold. We look,
therefore, first to the Master himself, and then to his people,
whom he constitutes his almoners, to make up this $5,000. Humbly
trusting to his faithfulness, we expect it to come, and we venture
forward on that expectation. Already, from a helper in the “far
East” comes an unsolicited gift of $100, and a pledge of another
$100 if, thereby, this $5,000 can be secured. Already I seem to
see in the near future full twenty-five or even many more of such
$100 shares taken. Where shall I find the remainder? Are there no
readers of the MISSIONARY who can aid me to answer this question?
“Inasmuch as ye have done it even to one of the least of these my
brethren, ye have done it unto me.”

BILL AND ANDY’S LARK.
MRS. HARRIET A. CHEEVER
“I say, Andy! let’s go hear Sam Andrews talk to-night; doesn’t cost
anything to go in, but they take a c’llection after he’s through,
so we can put ten cents in the box, and after meetin’ we can buy
some nuts and candy, and have quite a little lark; come on, will
you?”
“Sam Andrews!” said Andy, “what, that colored boy that’s been off
to the sem’nary?”
“Yes; they say he talks splendid.”
“How much money you got?” queried Andy.
“Fifty cents,” answered Bill. “I’ll take forty cents along
to-night--earned it all, you know, so it’s mine to do what I please
with; I’ll put ten cents in the box,--oughter help Sam a little,
you know,--then I’ll spend, say twenty cents for goodies, and have
ten cents in my pocket, and leave ten cents at home; must save a
little, you know; how much you got?”
“I’ve got fifty cents too;” said Andy. “Yes, I’ll go. Father won’t
object to my goin’ to hear Sam, and of course we won’t stay out
very late.”
Bill and Andy were boy chums, who at the present speaking were
roosting on a picket fence, in that seemingly comfortable manner
in which bipeds of their species seem perfectly capable of doing.
They were good-hearted, industrious boys, but rather thoughtless at
times, and the parents of both often felt troubled that they seemed
to care so little for “book learning.”
Sure enough, when the Town Hall was filling with a half interested,
half curious audience to hear Sam Andrew’s story, among the rest,
on the back seats, sat Bill and Andy.
Pretty soon Sam began; he told how, through struggles and
hardships, want and poverty, he had persisted in gaining an
entrance into the seminary.
All at once, Bill swallowed hard, then whispered to his companion,
“I say, Andy, let’s give Sam twenty cents instead of ten!”
“Yes, let’s,” readily agreed Andy.
Sam went on; he told how fever broke out among some of the seminary
boys, and he and a few others spent the last cent they could raise
in getting medicines, and alas! a coffin in more than one case.
This time Bill gulped down a great sob, and whispered brokenly,
“Andy, old boy, let’s make it thirty cents; a heart of stone
couldn’t stan’ that!”
“Yes, so we will,” gasped Andy, with shining eyes.
Sam continued: he told of selling the coat off his back, sooner
than give up his precious opportunities for studying and improving
his mind.
Here Bill gave Andy a nudge, and whispered desperately,
“I’m goin’ the whole forty, Andy; what’s a selfish old lark of nuts
and candy, I’d like to know, for a well fed cove like me? I’ll help
Sam the whole figger,--cookies if I won’t!”
“Feel as if I’d been a pig all my life,” whimpered Andy, as Sam
went on with his piteous story of painful perseverance and hard
endurance. All at once Bill began edging off the settee, but he
stopped to whisper again,
“Say, Andy, I’m going home as tight as ever I can leg it after that
other ten cents; be back in a minute;” and before Andy could reply
he was off: in a few moments he was back again, but where was Andy?
A moment later Andy entered softly, and taking his seat by Bill,
opened his hand, in which was _his_ last ten cent piece.
But it might have done one real good to have seen the peculiar
shine in the eyes of the generous boys, as their willing offerings
rattled down into the well-filled box which was passed around for
the collection at the close of the meeting.
And after all, that was not the best of it, for on the way home,
instead of the “selfish lark” so cheerfully given up, the boys had
a good sensible talk, in which they agreed that it was shameful,
the way in which they had neglected their studies, and here was a
poor colored boy, who had suffered “all a feller _could_ suffer and
pull through,”--as Andy remarked with boy-like earnestness,--for
the knowledge they, in their favored freedom from care and
privation, had hardly thought worth possessing, much less toiling
for.
Bill and Andy’s parents silently wondered what had come over their
boys, that all at once they grew so thoughtful and studious; but
the boys knew what had come over them, and they also knew why it
was that whenever they earned any money, a part was saved out from
the rest for charitable purposes.
“Makes a feller feel quite like a man to help some one else along a
little besides himself, doesn’t it Bill, old boy?” Andy asked one
day.
And Bill replied,
“Guess it does! We can’t do much, but even our little is worth
givin’, ’specially when a cove saves it himself: guess our
Sunday-school teacher was right; let’s see, what was that verse
she said?--‘It is more blesseder to--to give away a part, than to
receive all inter yourself,’--I believe that was about it, and _so_
much better than wastin’ it on a senseless lark!”
