Barker, who looked over school and domestic work very carefully,
and then began plying me with questions, when Miss Stevenson,
our missionary, dropped in. Mrs. Barker’s face lighted up as she
exclaimed, “Now I have you both together, the teacher and the
missionary, I want to know where you think a little money will do
the most good?” Mrs. Nelson said: “Each one loves her own work
too well to be a competent judge.” Miss Stevenson, you know, is one
of our veterans, been in the field ever since the war. For years
her mind and body were tied in the class-room six hours in the
day, but her heart was in the cabins all the while; and as soon as
she got relief from double duty, how she has put her whole soul
into missionary work! With her pleading eyes upon me, how could I
magnify my work above her’s?
[Illustration: A MISSION HOME.]
Since they left, I’ve been thinking that Mrs. Barker probably
represents many women who wish their mites to go where they are
most interested. Their hearts, like that of every true mother,
yearn over these girls in their great peril, and these boys,
driven from their wretched homes to the street for recreation. If
missionary work, unlike the school, were without organization,
systematic routine, or superintendence, it could not recommend
itself to the cautious. But under the well-defined plan adopted of
associating the missionary labor with the school and church, the
best results are secured.
Much as I love the model school, I can but see that the model home
is its only sure foundation. So the work is all one.
I only hope that the grandeur of “Work for Women in the Home” may
be so felt that the noblest women will be drawn into the service,
and develop such plans and mature such methods that the multitude
of busy mothers and children, all over our land, can cast in their
pennies and feel sure of a wise investment.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
H., N.Y.—What are the qualifications required of those who wish
to become lady missionaries? Could one succeed with only a
common-school education?
Sometimes a lady with only a common-school education does better
than one more liberally educated. It depends upon the qualities
of the woman, the executive ability, the tact, the practical good
sense, and knowledge of human nature. Of course, all other things
being equal, the more thorough the education the better the work.
B., N.Y.—What is the cost of supporting a lady missionary, and how
many months during the year is it expedient for her to labor in the
South?
It takes $450 to provide for a lady missionary for one year,
including traveling expenses, board and a moderate salary. The time
of service varies somewhat in different localities. At the extreme
South she can wisely remain eight months of the year; further
north, nine or ten. For other particulars we refer to the March
number of the _Missionary_, which is devoted largely to woman’s
work.
New York.—What assistance can sewing circles and ladies’ societies
render during the summer months that would be most helpful and
timely?
We shall need during the early autumn for replenishing our boarding
departments and mission homes, quilts, sheets, pillow-cases,
blankets, towels, table linen, table ware, and money for furnishing
rooms in new buildings to be occupied by students. Help in either
of these particulars will save so much for the support of the
missionary work.
S., Ct.—What provision is made during vacation for young girls who
have been taken from wretched homes into your institutions? Are
they obliged to return to the temptations and want of their early
associations? If not, what is the cost for their care during this
time?
There is nothing more important for the well-being of many colored
girls than suitable watch and care during their summer vacations.
We have been unable to do much in this direction. A few have been
kept in the different boarding institutions, where the buildings
have been open. These have been given work whenever opportunity
offered. Thirty or thirty-five dollars would provide for a girl in
addition to what she could earn. We would be glad to correspond
with any who are disposed to assist in this way.
R., Mass.—Our children have been accustomed to contribute to the
Dakota schools through the Woman’s Board of Foreign Missions. Does
the A. M. A. wish us to continue our interest in that particular
work?
Certainly it does. We sincerely hope that all those who have been
interested in the support of missions among the Indians will
continue their efforts and forward their gifts to us. The April
number of the AMERICAN MISSIONARY is devoted largely to the work
the Association has accepted from the American Board, and is now
carrying on. We shall need the cordial co-operation and support of
all the friends of the Indians in order to conduct the enlarged
work we have undertaken in their behalf.

[Illustration: ABOUT GIVING PENNIES—SELECTED.]
FIVE KINDS OF PENNIES.
A boy who had a pocket full of coppers, dropped one into the
Missionary-box, laughing as he did so. He had no thought in his
heart about Jesus or the heathen. Was his penny not as light as
_tin_?
Another boy put in a penny and looked around to see if anybody was
praising him. His was the _brass_ penny; not the gift of a lowly
heart, but of a proud spirit.
A third boy gave a penny, saying to himself, “I suppose I must,
because all others do.”
That was an _iron_ penny. It was the gift of a cold, selfish heart.
As a fourth boy dropped his penny into the box he shed a tear, and
his heart said, “Poor heathens! I’m sorry they are so poor, so
ignorant and so miserable.”
That was a _silver_ penny, the gift of a heart full of pity.
But there was one scholar who gave his, saying, “For Thy sake,
Lord Jesus! Oh, that the heathen may hear of Thee, the Saviour of
mankind!”
That was a _golden_ penny, because it was the gift of faith and
love.
THE PENNY BOX.
They were giving away Missionary boxes at a Juvenile Missionary
meeting to the boys and girls who thought they could collect a
little money for sending the Gospel to the heathen. Among those
who asked for a box was a poor child, so poor that the chairman
hesitated at first to give her a box; on consideration, however, he
let her have one.
About a fortnight afterward, this little girl called upon him in
great trouble. He said to her, “Why, Sarah, what are you crying
for? Cannot you get any money to put into your box?”
“No, sir, it is not that,” sobbed Sarah, “it is so full I don’t
know how I shall get any more in, the last penny was so hard to get
in I had to take a hammer to hammer it!”
The gentleman said, “Well, Sarah, I think we can easily get over
that difficulty—here is another box for you.”
But this was not all; when Sarah first applied for a box, she did
so just because her feelings of compassion had been awakened for
the poor heathen children; but while she was busily engaged in
collecting, the thought came into her mind, “What am I collecting
this money for? That the poor _heathen_ children may be taught
about Jesus, but what do _I know about Him myself_?”
Sarah then began to pray, and begged God the Holy Spirit to teach
her about Jesus, and that was the commencement of a new life to the
dear child.
WHAT A PENNY CAN DO.
Willie’s penny made heaven rejoice. It would not have bought more
than a stick or two of candy or given much help to a starving
family. What did he do with it? His sister was a missionary’s wife
in Africa, and the family were filling a box to send her. As one
after another brought their gifts Willie said, “I want to give my
penny.”
“What shall be bought with it?” was the next question. It was
decided to buy a tract and write its history on the margin, and
with a prayer for its success send it on its distant errand.
The box arrived on the mission ground, and among its valuable
contents Willie’s gift was laid away unnoticed and for a while
forgotten. But God’s watchful, all-seeing eye had not forgotten it.
One day a native teacher was starting from the mission station to
go to a school over the mountain. He knew the language well and was
a great help to the missionaries, but he was not a Christian. He
had resisted everything the missionaries had done to make him one.
In looking over some papers, Willie’s tract was discovered,
with writing on the margin, which said that prayer was offered
in America that it might do good. It was handed to the native
teacher. He read it on his journey, and what years of labor by the
missionaries had not done was now brought about by the penny tract.
The man became a sincere Christian. Those who put the tract in his
hand were overcome with joy, and there is joy in heaven over one
sinner that repents.
So you see how Willie’s penny made heaven rejoice.
