The greatest, perhaps, or at least one of the greatest disadvantages
under which these brave and earnest young teachers labor who go out
from Hampton, Fisk, and other schools to teach their people, is the
almost total lack of good reading matter. Sunday-school papers are
of really inestimable value to them in their Sunday-schools; but
they can only get them occasionally and very sparingly. Now we know
there are Sunday-schools on Sunday-schools of our Congregational
churches where the children would be glad to save their papers and
send them regularly to such destitute schools, where we can promise
the children they will give double the pleasure they have ever
given before—in fact will double the pleasure to each party, to the
givers and to the receivers. Now, how to do it; for, in order to
be a success, the thing must be done systematically. Well, then,
first, if any Sunday-school wishes to adopt the plan, let them send
to us and we will furnish them the name of a neighbor Sunday-school
in the West or South too poor to have any papers of its own. Then
let them appoint some one to take charge of sending the papers, and
let each scholar be sure and remember to save his paper and give
it to the one who has the business in charge. The only expense,
in money, will be the postage. This often seems a good deal, when
large numbers of papers are mailed each week, and some one may even
be disposed to question whether it is worth the money; but our Home
Secretary, who has taught some years at Hampton, and is in constant
communication with teachers who have gone from there, and is often
sending papers and books in this way, and receiving letters in
return which show how they are appreciated, thinks the good they
do far outweighs the expense; for, she says, in many cases, the
children would have absolutely no reading were it not for them.
So then, third, some one or ones, will be found to pay the postage,
and the thing will be done. The children will have the pleasure
of reading the papers themselves, the pleasure of sending them
regularly to some one else who will appreciate and enjoy them even
more than they; the pleasure of hearing from these friends at a
distance, for the teachers will write them, that is a part of the
plan; and the pleasure of doing something for Jesus and helping His
cause.
Now, who wants to take up with this plan and begin at once?
Let them write to the Secretary of the Woman’s Home Missionary
Association, 20 Congregational House, Boston, Mass., and the
address will be sent them forthwith. Where Sunday-schools are
not ready, individuals can take up the work. A little girl in
Philadelphia is sending two hundred a week, her mother paying the
postage.
Since writing the above we have received an account of the Annual
Meeting of our Alabama State Auxiliary, held in Mobile March 28th.
This must have been a meeting full of interest to all who were
present, and as the reports were brought in from different parts of
the State, the Secretary writes, “We found that the field had many
a Ruth, who had toiled from morning even until even, and brought in
her gleanings.”

FRANKIE’S CHAPEL.
PREPARED FROM “THE VINTONS AND THE KARENS,” BY THE EDITOR.
Some years ago there lived in Suffield, Ct., an elderly woman by
the name of Mary Ann Bestor. She was so poor that charitable people
frequently assisted her. On one occasion she received a five franc
piece, with which to purchase a warm dress for winter, but desiring
to give something for missions, she argued that the money was hers,
and that if she chose she could give it to the Lord. She was not
ignorant, however, that some might blame her for giving from her
deep poverty. So she hid the money in the toe of a stocking and
sent it to Mrs. Vinton, who was on a visit to this country from her
mission work among the Karens in India.
When Mrs. Vinton learned of the poverty of the donor, her heart was
touched, and she said: “This is holy money and must not go into
the general fund.” So she laid it aside by itself. Soon afterward,
while narrating the circumstance to a Hartford gentleman, he said
to her: “It is cold weather; ‘Frankie’ should have a wrapper,” and
he handed her a ten dollar bill, which she wrapped around the five
franc piece, “to keep him warm.” The next day another ten dollar
bill was given by Deacon Day, of Hartford, “To buy ‘Frankie’ an
over-coat, as the weather had grown colder,” while Mrs. Kent, of
Suffield, happened to remember: “These are stinging nights to sleep
alone; ‘Frankie’ must have a bed-fellow,” and a five dollar gold
piece was laid by his side. Mrs. Vinton then said: “If ‘Frankie’
had a few more wrappers I would send him to Boston.” So she
wrote out “Frankie’s” history and forwarded it to Dr. Ives, with
an appeal for other articles of clothing. The good doctor read
the letter from his pulpit, and thirty dollars were secured and
forwarded to Mrs. Vinton. She now felt that she could furnish a
suitable outfit to enable “Frankie” to appear among city people,
so she sent him first to Boston for the purchase of Bibles for the
Karens, and next to Philadelphia for a box of medicine, also for
the Karens, and afterward to a Mrs. Thompson to buy some eye-water
for the poor heathen, who suffer so much from the glare of the
sun. All the good people where he visited were glad enough to see
him, but none of them seemed to care to keep him long, so he was
sent back every time with the supplies he wanted, to Mrs. Vinton.
Just on the occasion of his last return, Rev. Mr. Vinton came back
from a tour among the churches where he had been pleading for his
mission in India, and his wife told him “Frankie’s” story. After
hearing it, he said: “I, too, have had a donation which has touched
my heart. At Norwich, a Mrs. Chapell came to me and tearfully said,
handing me a little roll of money: ‘This belonged to my poor boy. I
cannot put it into the general fund, but will you, Mr. Vinton, take
it and apply it to some special purpose?’”
Mrs. Vinton at once said: “That, too, is holy money, it will do to
go with my ‘Frankie.’ This money shall build a house for the Lord
in Burmah, and it shall be called ‘Frankie’s Chapel.’”
The story, with its singular incidents, was repeated by one and
another, and money began to flow in from many sources, some
ingenious play of imagination serving constantly to keep up the
interest. Friends in Philadelphia said: “We often visit Burmah in
imagination, and when we reach there we are tired enough to sit
down; may we not rent pews in ‘Frankie’s Chapel’?” The suggestion
was so reasonable, that a plan of a church was drawn, and sittings
were rented rapidly. Clergymen who contributed had their names
written on the platform. From Philadelphia Mrs. Vinton went to
Cincinnati, where the people said to her: “Why, you have rented
all your pews, and we Western people are crowded out.” So they
drew a larger plan and began renting more pews. Meanwhile, a
communion service, a beautifully bound pulpit Bible, a fine-toned
bell, pulpit lamps and a communion table were presented by one and
another in the different localities visited.
In 1850 the Vintons sailed for Calcutta, with the purpose to build
the chapel in Maulmain. On their arrival they found that their
English friends and the Karens were as deeply interested in the
welfare of “Frankie’s Chapel” as their American friends had been.
An English officer sent 200 rupees, with the message, “In America
they gave money to keep ‘Frankie’ warm. In view of the high state
of the thermometer I send this to keep him cool.”
Another sends 100 rupees “for legs for ‘Frankie’ to stand on,”
alluding to the custom of building houses on posts in Burmah. Still
another officer sent 1,000 rupees.
It transpired, however, that an overruling Providence had greater
plans for “Frankie’s Chapel” than those which had yet been
conceived of by the Vintons. During the four or five years after
they left America with “Frankie” there were serious troubles in
Burmah, and the affairs of the country were such that they were
unable to settle down permanently until 1855. At that time plans
were furnished for a building much more elaborate and substantial
than had been contemplated at first. A beautiful location had been
selected at Kemmendine, and the land necessary made a free gift by
the Governor-General of India.
On the 20th of May, 1855, the corner-stone was laid by Mr. Vinton,
in the presence of a large assembly. The building was to be 60
by 70 feet—two stories high; the lower part being designed for a
school-room and the upper part for church services. It was built of
brick, and admirably adapted for the use for which it was designed.
It serves the purposes not only of the mission, but also as an
assembling place for special meetings and general conventions. The
Rangoon Karen Mission was at that time the largest in Burmah, and
the building was precisely what was needed to meet the various
wants of the many interests which centred at that point. Now, after
more than twenty-five years, “Frankie’s Chapel” still stands as a
monument to the consecration and faith of the poor old Suffield
woman, who chose rather to provide for the cause of her Master than
to enjoy the comfort and warmth that had been intended for herself.
But it happened to her as everyone might have supposed it would
have happened; she did not have to go unclad, either, for good
people, learning of her charity and self-denial, provided her with
the “warm dress” and such other consolations as she richly merited.
