civilization, is the true idea of childhood—its worth and place in
the elevating forces of humanity. That civilization which holds
in cheap esteem the life of a child, is a low and vanishing one.
There is probably among the secondary tests of nobility no truer
one than man’s regard for children. All the ancient civilizations
were very low in this respect. Think of such a thing occurring in
this nineteenth century, of any ruler commanding the slaughter of
the innocents. No, the final civilization holds, must hold, to
the sacredness of child-life. Jesus is bringing that about. He
brought heaven to earth through the auroral gates of childhood.
Bethlehem’s manger gave to the world a new and potent civilizing
idea in the sacredness of child-life. These four constitute the
elemental ideas, the living, molding, working forces of the
higher civilization. The relation of the American Missionary
Association to this higher civilization is now to be noticed, and
so transparent is this relation that only a few words are necessary
to set it forth. First. It is related in its work, in a similar
way, be it spoken reverently, in which Jesus, the Son of God, is
related to the children of men. He came down into humanity to its
very lowest. So the A. M. A. goes down with its thousand tender
hands and its five hundred beating hearts to the very bottom of the
lower civilization. This is both human and divine wisdom. It is
related to the higher civilization in the second place because it
carries into and permeates the lower civilization with these great
ideas of the higher. “No fleet can outsail its slowest vessel.”
So no civilization can advance higher than the lowest elements or
parts of it advance. These people to whom this Association carries
these ideas are elemental factors in our civilization, and I know
of no other royal road by which they can be brought into the
higher civilization; and unless so brought they will drag higher
civilization down, and give the victory to the lower civilization,
and this nation will fall into the long procession of nations
that, failing to rise to their great opportunities, have gone down
in dishonor and disgrace to eternal death. To prevent this dire
catastrophe, I believe God, whose favors have been manifold to our
land, has raised up and commissioned this great Association. It is
virtually related, therefore, to the higher civilization as its
saviour, and also as the purifier and perfector of the higher by
bringing the lower up to its proper place in it on these high idea
lines. Incarnate these great ideas of the higher civilization into
the lower, which, as I understand it, is the work of the A. M. A.,
and you have given the victory to the higher civilization in this
the leading nation of the world; moreover, you have hastened the
coming of the day of the Son of Man.

DEDICATION OF LIVINGSTONE MISSIONARY HALL.
As a fitting sequel to the earnest and efficient annual meeting
exercises in Cleveland, some of the officers of this Association
and other friends proceeded to Nashville, Tenn., to attend the
dedication of Livingstone Hall, Oct. 30.
As we published in our last issue a cut of the Hall and a statement
of its history, dimensions and uses, we refer the reader to the
November MISSIONARY for information relating to such matters. The
dedicatory address was delivered by Professor Cyrus Northrop,
of Yale College. Bishop McTyeire, President of the Vanderbilt
University at Nashville, and Dr. A. G. Haygood, President of Emory
College, Georgia, and Gen. C. B. Fisk, of New York, also made
addresses. The dedicatory prayer was offered by Secretary Strieby,
and music furnished by the Mozart Society and by Miss Sheppard
and Miss Mabel Lewis, well-known members of the original Jubilee
Singers Company. The address of Professor Northrop was masterly,
timely and suggestive. It was welcomed and approved by the very
respectable representation of Southern men on the platform, and
published in full in the Nashville _Daily American_.
