sickness; they used to die; they were not use to in warm country. Once
I was sick. I had the chills and favor. I near died. I got well again;
before I came away, I plow part of my field and sowed some wheat, but I
have got brothers who will work at my field while I am away, and keep
my horses good, and houses. Some white people used to want to take me.
When I was at home I used to write to Col. Meachem, to help me to go to
some school. He did help me, and I am glad I went to Hampton School.
I am trying to be a good boy, and study all I can. The only thing
troubles me is Geography, that is the only thing I have to try hard.
Yours truly,
JAMES MURIE.

AN ANNIVERSARY AT SACRAMENTO.
REV. W. C. POND, SAN FRANCISCO.
We have sustained a mission school among the Chinese at Sacramento for
nearly ten years; but our first public anniversary was held at the
Congregational church there, on Sunday, January 11th. The following
account of it was furnished for _The Pacific_ by the pastor, Rev. Dr.
Dwinell:
“The attendance was good, and the exercises thrilling with Christian
interest to one who can see in such facts the beginning of a great
tidal wave of grace that is yet to flow over the Chinese empire;
and, what is more, a good collection was taken, showing the interest
to be genuine. The exercises consisted of recitations of classified
Scripture, an original address, an original dialogue, and singing—all
by the Chinese—and brief introductory and closing exercises by others.
The mission is in a very prosperous condition, and shows the fruits
of the earnest, faithful teaching of those who have had charge of the
school, and especially of the present principal, Mrs. Carrington.”
After several of the exercises a muffled applause was audible, such as
on any other day and in any other place would have been irrepressible.
Especially was this the case after the following
ADDRESS BY LEM CHUNG.
“Ladies and gentlemen: I am very glad to see you all here this evening.
I thank you very much for your kindness, teaching us about the Gospel
of Jesus Christ, because our people are in very darkness indeed,
worshiping idols. I would like to tell you of something I did when I
was a little boy at home. My parents were very careful to attend to
worshiping idols, but on the first day of the year they must worship
more than any other day of the year. At this time I used to carry a
basket with some sacrifice in it, follow after my father from place to
place where the different gods were for worshiping. I believe on them
very much. I thought the idols can help us a great deal. So when I was
at school one day, I wrote a piece of paper, it represent a sage, and I
put it inside of my desk. I then bought some nuts and wine and offered
to him, and bowed my head to him, and ask him to help me about my
lessons, that I might recite them well, and I said, ‘If you do not help
me to recite my lessons well, when I return I tear you off and burn you
up.’ When the time come I could not recite very well, so then _I burn
it_. I had been at school about three years. My father sent me to the
high school professor. Explaining the book of Confucius at that time, I
often go with the priest to help them play the music for worshiping the
evil spirits. After little while the priest came to my father, see if
he can let me go learn to be a priest. My father was willing to let me
go, but when my mother knew it she said, ‘I cannot spare my son to be a
priest, worshiping too much for the evil spirit, but I rather to send
him to California, getting his living.’
“Nearly five years have passed since I leaved my native land and came
to this country, where I found all the things strange and different
from what I had ever seen before. I found there was much for me to
learn. A friend of mine invited me to Sunday-school, and I went with
him. When I returned to the Chinatown I ask some person what kind of
people are they who teach us there? They said, American people; but
I could not know how it was that they should be willing to come and
teach us without pay. They told me that they were very good people who
come to teach you, and talk about Jesus Christ, and show us the right
way. I kept on going till I can read the Bible. Great many things very
different from other books. My heart was touch of Christ. I could not
understand all; but not many days after the same friend invited me to
go with him to the evening mission school. So I went with him to the
school. After the lessons were over, the Chinese helper explained the
Bible and talk to us, telling us it was useless to serve idols; they
cannot help us; _they cannot take care of themselves_. But we must come
to God of heaven, who made all things, heaven and earth. We must ask
Him to help us, and pray to Him to give us all things what we need. We
ought to praise Him. So when I heard him say this I saw and felt all I
had done before was of no use, and was very wicked. Then I make up my
mind to leave off worshiping idols, and begin to worship the true and
living God. So I went back where I was employed. When I kneeled down
to pray I opened my window, because I thought God cannot hear me if I
leave it closed. After a few days the Chinese helper request me to join
the Association of Christian Chinese, which I did, and read the Bible
day by day, learning more about Christ. Oh, friends, I was very happy
when I was converted! when I come to Jesus and worship the true God;
leave the darkness and follow the light, and try to lead others of my
countrymen to learn of Jesus, and know Him who died for us and save us
from sin.
“When my father heard I follow Christ he sent me a letter. He said:
‘What are you doing out there? Are you going to believe Jesus, and
leave all your countrymen, and your ancestors, and idols, and Confucius
unserved?’ And he said: ‘No other way better than Confucius; so many
of your countrymen do not believe Christ. You must leave off and
come back to _our own way_. Believe the way that most of our people
believe.’ But Christ tell us, ‘He that loveth father or mother more
than Me not worthy of Me.’ I cannot leave off the way of Christ for the
way of darkness; but I can try to bring them to Jesus. I hope you all,
brethren, who come to Christ, will help hold up the light of the Gospel
to shine on them which are in the dark and bow down to idols, and that
many of my countrymen shall go back to China to tell the glad news to
thousands there who have never heard of Christ; and if we cannot reward
you, God will reward you every one.”
I have not been willing to correct any of the little mistakes of
grammar, but give the address in exact copy from the original. It
was uttered in a clear voice, with a distinct and quite correct
pronunciation, and with such simple earnestness that every eye was
fixed upon him, and every heart seemed touched. Lem Chung has been our
helper in Sacramento for about eight months, is _growing_ mentally and
spiritually, and gives promise of a very useful future.

HOW TO MAKE MONEY FOR THE MISSIONARIES.
An original Essay written by a Girl eleven years old, and read by her
at a Woman’s Foreign Missionary Meeting in Indiana.
I should think that everyone could think of ways for themselves, but I
suppose we can help each other. Some ways that I may suggest might not
be thought of by others, while others in turn might think of many ways
that I would not.
The first way that enters my mind is what I found to be a very good
plan at one time; have your grandfather get sick so that your father
will have to go and see him, and on his return your grandmother will
send you a present of one dollar. With it buy a pig in partnership with
someone else who has the same amount, and after feeding it with your
father’s corn for a year, sell it for twenty dollars, you of course
getting one half of it.
Another way is to have a little garden and sell vegetables out of it;
and another way is to have a hen and sell eggs, or raise chickens and
sell them. One way that I found to be a good one, is to make tidies
and sell them. And those of us who are fortunate enough to have a baby
brother or sister, attend it two or three hours for a penny an hour.
And I think another good way is to be a great talker, and have your
mother give you five cents to be still. We may also relieve our mothers
very much by watering the house plants, and may be she will give us a
little bit.
And I have often thought it would be a good plan to have pay for
washing dishes, and may be some of your mothers would; just mention
it to them; but mine won’t, for I have tried it! And when your mother
sends you to pick berries, just mention the missionaries to her. And if
you live in the country, gather apples, churn, kill potato bugs and dig
potatoes. And then have a penny a dozen for finding pins; and the best
place in the world to find pins is in the oldest sister’s room.
And another way of getting money for our school in Persia is to save a
part of the money we spend in candies. But I hope that in our dividing
between ourselves and missions, none of us may be like the little
boy that I heard of not long ago. His uncle gave him two bright new
nickels. They were a little fortune to him, and as he looked upon
them, he said, “One of these must go for the heathen and the other for
candy.” After this decision he put them away, and every few minutes he
would go to see if his fortune was safe. But once, after having them
out, one of them was missing. What should he do? and which piece was
lost, the missionary or the candy money? His little eyes rested upon
the shining piece in his hand, and after many minutes of hard struggle
with selfishness and benevolence, he said to his mother, “It was the
missionary money that I lost!” But then I guess that bigger folks than
children often have their business plans, which they think cannot be
broken into by missionaries.
