to get him the protection of the U. S. Courts, so that he may have
a better appeal than the only one now open to him, as Gen. Crook
says—_his rifle_.
In spite of the change of agents four times in less than four
years, and in spite of all endeavors to break down Christian
influences here, these Indians have steadily progressed. They are
cultivating more land and doing it more thoroughly, showing more
interest in schools, and a stronger desire to adopt civilized
habits, one young man going so far as to come to me with the
request, “Father, they say you are skilful; can you not make my
shoes squeak for me? They don’t squeak like white people’s shoes.”

THE ROMANCE OF MISSIONS.
BY REV. W. C. POND, SAN FRANCISCO.
It is said that in connection with a somewhat enthusiastic
collection for the American Board, taken ten years or more ago, at
the First Congregational Church in this city, one card was sent up
having this inscription: “Five dollars for Home missions, but ‘nary
red’ for Foreign.” The Christian spirit of the expression and its
rhetorical elegance are about equal. Yet it well represents one
class of Christian workers and givers who believe intensely that
charity begins at home, who like to _see_ what they are doing, and
to watch its on-goings and to judge of its results for themselves.
Foreign missions seem to them chimerical; the interest in such work
romantic; and they don’t believe in romance and chimeras.
We have sometimes met another class whose interest flags when
they are brought in contact with the hard facts of any Christian
work. For them, “’Tis distance lends enchantment to the view.” To
see and handle any Christian enterprise involves them inevitably
in disappointment. They read the glowing pages of the _Herald_,
and often feel their hearts burn within them; but if brought into
actual, daily contact with the toils, the drudgeries of service,
the days of small things, the months and years of discouragement
through which, with faith that would not falter, God led his
servants on to that which now makes those pages glow, they would
soon become disheartened, possibly fault-finding, as though funds
and men were being wasted on a work that makes so little show.
We respectfully suggest to all such friends of our Chinese
work that they remain in the East, and do not at present visit
California; for Christ, as found in the souls for whom we labor,
has no halo round his head—indeed, He had none when He wrought in
that carpenter’s shop at Nazareth; when He walked, with dust-worn
raiment and with weary feet, the ill-wrought trails of ancient
Palestine; nor even when He hung upon the cross. There was no
external beauty to make men desire him; and to many who at this
distance are almost filled with envy at the high privileges Peter,
James and John enjoyed of seeing his face and hearing his voice,
and walking in his companionship, He might have seemed a “root out
of dry ground, having no form nor comeliness.”
At any rate, He abides to-day in souls that are very dark, that are
very little sanctified—saints that by no means answer to the ideal
saintliness—He abides in them; and while with patient love we bear
with them, and while we hope on and work on, though faith feels
like fainting and hope seems long deferred, we are _assured that
we are serving_ HIM. “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the
least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.”
This is the period of the year when our work has least of what
is outward and visible to stir enthusiasm. The weather is often
stormy. The nights are often very dark. At some of the factories,
work having broken across the boundary line which fading daylight
fixed, holds on under gas-light till it is too late for our pupils
to get to school. At any rate, many of them drop off; the average
declines, and our hearts droop a little. It would be so much
easier to work, if we could all the time be expanding, increasing,
harvesting. Then, often, the pupils seem specially dull, and this
one or that one in whom we have become deeply interested, and whom
we supposed to have become somewhat enlightened, discloses a depth
of darkness which we do not like to fathom, and shows that he has
understood far less than we supposed. Among those whom we believe
to be true followers of Christ, there crop out littlenesses of envy
or jealousy or ill-humor, that perhaps would call down on them
swift condemnation, did not all this remind us so much of what has
stained our own Christian life.
Now if our romantic friends should drop in upon us at such times,
they might be sorely disappointed; might feel that we had drawn on
our fancies for some of our facts; might possibly go away and add
their own “Amen” to the scornful taunts of Godless newspapers upon
“converted Chinamen.” And yet just such experiences of difficulty
and discouragement belong to Christian work everywhere. If they
do not form a necessary part of the discipline and training of
the church, they certainly are unavoidable in the healing of
sin-poisoned souls—in the education, the _leading out_ of men from
darkness into light.
I write these things, not because I have any special
disappointments to communicate. I have none. And yet the state
of the work just now is shadowed in these reflections. I have
sometimes fancied—and felt that it was no mere fancy—that I could
see in the story of our little mission, a tiny miniature of the
history of the Apostolic Church. We had our little Pentecost to
start with. We had the glow of a new love, the effervescence of a
new life, the fresh joy of fraternal fellowship; prayer meetings
carried, against my protest, for sheer delight in them, on into the
small hours, by men who must be up and hard at work by six o’clock
in the morning. Then after awhile we had our Ananias—two of them,
since there was no wife to match Sapphira. And then we had disputes
and little jealousies, like those of the Grecians against the
Hebrews, and our scatterings by persecution and by other causes,
in which, I rejoice to say, our disciples, like those of old, went
here and there, preaching the word; so that with all that there has
been at times to start anxiety, to test faith, to chasten hope, the
work has kept moving on. Souls have been added constantly, _saved_
souls, we trust. Much prayer has gone up to the throne of grace,
and earnest work has followed it, and Christ, thank God, has proved
himself to be stronger than the strong man armed.
THE OROVILLE MISSION.
We entered a new name on the list of our schools on the 1st of
November. It is at Oroville, the county seat of Butte Co. It is
taught by Miss Jessamine Wood, daughter of the Congregational
pastor in that town. Years ago we began a work there, but under
auspices that proved to be very unfavorable. Ever since, we have
desired to renew the effort, but the way has not opened till
now. There are few points in the interior of the State where
so many Chinese—1,500, it is said—are congregated. The Chinese
population of the town at one time out-numbered that of all other
nationalities. Our school, at its outset, is very small, the
attendance being only seven, but we trust it is the thin edge of a
wedge which we may yet drive home with good effect. A helper will
be set at work there, temporarily at least, after the holidays,
by whom not only may the school be enlarged, but the Gospel be
preached in the streets, and the war for Christ be carried into the
very Africa of Oroville Chinatown.
