I remember. How different the funeral of one of our most faithful
women, Mrs. Mary Gilbert, who was buried from our crowded Grand River
Chapel April 17th. She had been a great sufferer for years, yet
patiently, uncomplainingly, bearing it all. Though in her last
sickness there was no hope of recovery, the most popular medicine man
was not sent for. The suffering woman was not put out in a tent to
die. Gratefully did she receive the tender nursing of the white lady
missionary and the skillful school physician. Tenderly was she cared
for to the last in a comfortable bed, in a clean, tidy house. The body
was not hurried with unseemly haste to the burial. Through the
darkness of night a messenger rode 30 miles to have the agency
carpenter make a coffin, neatly cover it with black cloth and white
metal trimmings. Through the darkness of another night was it carried
back. The one service of the Sabbath day was the funeral service.
Crowds gathered at the house at an early hour. The long procession of
wagons was nearly two hours in reaching the chapel. Beautiful and
simple was the service, and the closing words of the sorrowing husband
will long be remembered, as he spoke of his wife's noble work and
trusting faith in the Master. Through the parted lines of the 80
school children was borne the casket, followed by the parents of these
children and others to the number of over 200, most of whom in the
last eight years have found Christ as an ever-present Saviour, and
have learned to know Him as "the resurrection and the life." In this
belief they gathered about this grave, and from it they went to their
homes to live re-consecrated lives.
I have but hinted at progress in these illustrations from their life.
May the churches recognize this new type of Indian uprising, this
progress in many ways, by larger gifts for building much needed
churches, and in sending out new messengers of the Gospel of peace.
The Indians seem ready to do their share, are we ready to do ours?

The Chinese.

THE CALIFORNIA CHINESE MISSION.
I am requested to give a "general view of our work in about 1000
words:" and I attempt the task. The story is elastic; it bears
compression. Perhaps it can be brought within the allotted space. I
have often undertaken to tell it in five minutes, premising, however,
always that to do this adequately would require more than five hours.
I. FIGURES THAT WILL NOT LIE. The first half of the present fiscal
year ended March 3. The statistical reports for these six months are
the best we have had for more than ten years. The total number of
pupils enrolled in our 19 mission schools thus far is 970: about as
many as in the whole year '95 to '96. The average membership month by
month has been about 430, and the average attendance 234. Every month
has been fraught with saving light and love for some dark souls. I
cannot give an exact statement, but I think that nearly 50 conversions
have been reported, making a total, since our work began, of fully
1,600.
II. THE NEW MISSION HOUSE. It has cost us, finished and furnished (so
far as it is yet furnished), fully $19,500. It is a fine building in
an admirable location, the best that could be found, overlooking a
pretty square, yet standing just within the border line of San
Francisco's Chinatown. It is four stories high, with a dry basement
and a flat roof, and it is utilized on these six floors. The Noyes
Memorial Chapel on the first floor is an attractive place of worship
seating easily 250, and is used on week days for the Central School,
which is, doubtless, the largest Chinese week-day school in our
country. Rev. Jee Gam, with his large family, has several rooms as a
sort of parsonage. Other Christian families occupy apartments.
Homeless young men rent some of our best rooms, and use them for
social purposes and as a retreat from the wickedness of almost every
other gathering place in Chinatown. Most of these young men were
Christians when they came to occupy these rooms. One among those who
were not Christians has already turned to Christ, the first fruits in
this our new garden of the Lord. We owe $13,250 on this building, of
which $2,000 ought to be paid at once.
[Illustration: NEW MISSION HOUSE.]
III. OUR WORK FOR MOTHERS AND CHILDREN is to be distinguished from the
Rescue work among the female slaves bought and sold for the worst of
purposes, who constitute a large majority of all the Chinese women in
California. This latter work our Presbyterian and Methodist Missions
have been doing for many years at large expense and with good results.
They were prepared to take care of all who would come to them, and we
did not enter into that field, for we never have used missionary money
for the purpose of competition with other denominations, and we never
will. The mothers living in wedlock and their children constitute our
field, and wherever we have missions this is carried on with more or
less activity according to the number of families and the welcomes
extended. In Los Angeles, Marysville, San Francisco and Watsonville,
there are visitors giving to this undertaking so much of their time as
to make it necessary to assist in their support. I doubt if any human
beings anywhere on earth have more hindrances to overcome, more lions
to face, more superstitions to be laid aside in coming to Christ, than
have the Chinese women. The tyranny of heathen husbands, the scorn of
neighbors, the vague dread of untold calamities which the ghosts of
the dead will inflict upon them if not duly worshipped, the stories
told them of children kidnapped, eyes put out, hurtful spells thrown
upon people by foreign devils; all these and other obstacles must be
met and overcome. But Christian kindness will overcome everything if
persistently shown, and I believe the time is coming when the harvest
among these Chinese mothers will exceed, in proportion to the numbers
within reach of us, any reaped elsewhere. I would like to go into the
details of this comparatively new work but my limits forbid it.
IV. THE CHINESE POPULATION in America is, I believe, increasing. I
cannot prove this, and I state it only as an impression. The Exclusion
Law at its best is a leaky dike, and the tide washing up against it
leaps through and sometimes overflows. How this comes to pass I have
not space to tell, but while I do not believe that _all_ men have
their price, I suspect that some Custom House officials have not
always been proof against temptation, and are not now. And perjury in
the view of a non-christian Chinese is a venial offense except when so
clumsily committed as to lead to detection. But, no matter how these
new comers get here, once among us they are fish for our fishing, and
when one of them becomes a Christian and tells me he has been in the
country five or six or eight years, I do not feel bound to make him
confess the method of his entrance. He was a heathen then. There is no
probability whatever that the work of our mission will cease for lack
of material to work upon, till long after the present workers have
passed to their reward.
V. THE FINANCES. Under this head the tale is soon told. Appropriation
from the A. M. A. exhausted. The last check for this fiscal year from
the office in New York came to me on the 1st of March. The bills for
April are provided for, however. As to May, June, July and August,
bills, which if the work were done as it should be, could not even by
closest economy, be brought below $4,000, we wait for the payment of
upon God and upon those whom he has made to be the almoners of His
bounty. Our Chinese will probably give about $1,500. Who will give the
rest?
