Chapter M: MCG. DANA, Chairman (3)

You find more sympathy and more of the spirit of co-operation among Southern people than you found ten years ago. I rejoice in this change of feeling in the South, and it is easy to understand it. Time, the healer, has done his blessed work. Grace has overcome, and the grave has buried much of bitter feeling on both sides. You have learned your work better, and we have learned more perfectly its value. A good deal of your work I have seen; I believe it is good. I have looked into your school methods; they are yielding happy results. I have considered “examination papers” from some of your schools; they would have done credit to any school for any race. I have listened to speeches and essays from colored youth at your commencements; there was the evidence of sound culture and true religion in them. When I heard them I “thanked God and took courage.”

It is often asked, “Why don’t the South do more in this work of educating and lifting up the negroes?” Sometimes the question has been asked angrily—perhaps because ignorantly.

I believe the South can do more than it is doing—certainly more than it has done. But I think it likely that we have done as much as any other people in like circumstances would have done. History does not record of any people such vast, rapid and radical changes of opinion and sentiment on subjects that had been fiercely fought over on hundreds of bloody fields, as has taken place in the South during the last fifteen years on the questions that grow out of the negro’s emancipation and enfranchisement. But the Southern States have done more than most people suppose. There are nearly one million negro children in our public schools in the South.

In speaking of what the South has done and has not done in the work of educating the negroes, let it be remembered that the white people of the South have not been on beds of roses since 1865. The war and its consequences made the South poor beyond conception by those who have not had our experience. It left the North rich. The majority of our people have had a sharp struggle to live; most of them have been unable to educate their own children.

Let me tell you of a man I talked with last summer. I went with my family and a little party on what we might call a camp-fishing expedition. As we approached the place where we proposed to spend a few days in recreation, my attention was attracted by a white woman pulling fodder in a little field near a cabin. That night her husband came to our camp, offering such welcome as he could. We had a long talk together. He had been a Confederate soldier, and he had on his body the marks of seven bullet wounds. He never owned a slave, he had fought for what he had been taught to believe were the rights of the States. He is a laborer on the farm of the man who owned the land where he lived. He gets $140 a year, cabin rent, a few acres tended by his wife and little girls, and the privilege of his winter wood. He said his employer is one of the kindest of men, and does for him all he can do. The landlord himself has small margins of profit. The poor fellow has five children, the eldest a bright girl, aged fourteen. She looked dwarfed and older than her years; she had been nurse and drudge for the little ones. These children came to our camp by invitation, and the oldest promised to come one afternoon and show my own children how to fish. I had my heart set on her coming; I wanted my children to know more about such people. She did not come at the time appointed, but that night she came to tell us why. Her cotton dress was wet with the dew and her little hands were fodder-stained. She said to me: “I am sorry I could not come; mother and I had so much fodder to take up that we have just got through.” This child and I had much talk together. I asked her: “Daughter, can you read?” Her face brightened as she said: “Yes, sir; a little.” “Can you write?” The brown eyes sought the ground as she answered: “No, sir.” “If I will send you some books, will you try to teach your little sisters to read?” The glad look in her eyes I shall never forget, as she answered: “Yes, sir; I will try.” We sent her a good supply and it made them all glad. They are not beggars; the father would not take money for a fine bunch of fish he sent, with his compliments, to my wife, and when he found that we had left some money for little services by the children he flushed and could hardly be persuaded to let them keep it.

Some people call these “white trash.” I declare to you I never heard a Southern white man or woman use the expression in speaking of such persons.

Mr. President, there are tens of thousands of white people in the South as poor as my friend of the fishing camp. If you can help them, in Christ’s name do it.

As to our higher schools, some of our best colleges have died since 1865; others are dying now. Such a death is a loss, not to the South only, but to the whole country. Yours have grown rich. I do not envy you; I rejoice in your strong and well-furnished institutions. But you should be patient toward us, and, I am not ashamed to say, you should help us as God gives you opportunity. Men and brethren, it is time to have done with 1860–65. Said a Brooklyn man to me last year who, unsolicited, had helped two Southern schools: “I think my friends here approve what I have done; but if any should ask, ‘Why did you not give this money to your own people?’ my answer is: ‘They also are my people—we are one people.’” On that platform we can become a Christian nation strong enough to bless the world.

Northern money has done much to “develop the South” during the last decade in pushing railroads and other great industrial enterprises. It is all welcome, and ten times as much. But I do not question that each $100 invested in Christian education in the South since the war has done more to develop it in every best sense than each $1,000 placed in railroads and factories. But enough on these lines of thought.

I must say a word or two as to the relations of your work to Africa. The first atlas I ever saw made a desert of sand cover all the wonderful lands that Livingstone, Stanley, and others have discovered, and they printed across the map of Africa 28,000,000, with an interrogation point to indicate a guess as to the population. Now we are studying the maps of interior Africa, and they tell us of great nations and a population that may reach 200,000,000! Can any man who believes in the Bible, or in God, doubt for one moment that Providence is in the history of the negroes in the United States? Can we doubt that these millions of negroes, now committed to us as the wards of the Christian church, must, some day, attempt and accomplish the evangelization of Africa?

I rejoice that your Association has its eye and heart upon Africa. I saw two photographs in the chapel of Fisk University last May that stirred my soul; they were the faces of two missionaries who had gone from that great Christian school to Africa. One Sunday evening I preached in the chapel. A youth from your Mendi Mission, a native of Africa, getting ready to be a missionary, sang for us in his home language a familiar Sunday-school song, “I Have a Father in the Promised Land.” Some day they will be singing Christian songs in every village of the Dark Continent. How the thought of the Divine fatherhood and of the brotherhood of the eternal Son has changed Europe and made America. Some day these thoughts will change Africa. What we call civilization can’t do it; the gospel of Jesus Christ can. The Christian negroes are getting ready for their work, and you and others working in the same fields, are helping them to get ready. The missionary fire is beginning to burn in their hearts. When they go forth, bearing the sacred symbol of our Lord’s love to men, every Christian man and woman in our land should help them. That movement—and it is coming—will, at no distant day give your colonization and missionary societies all they can do. Was there ever a greater need or a more hopeful field, a greater duty or a brighter promise of success? Mr. President, you may be sure that from thousands of Christian hearts all over the South the prayer goes up, “God bless the work of the American Missionary Association, with all others who are preaching the gospel to the poor.”

FROM ADDRESS OF GENERAL CLINTON B. FISK.

The American Missionary Association is one of those societies that has long been near my heart, having a large place in it. From its very beginning I watched its growth, but had no idea in the years before that I should ever have such intimate relations with it. Being in the South at the close of the war with the care of two or three millions of colored people thrown on my hands, I naturally looked about to see what was being done for schools and what for Christian culture. I found the American Missionary Association on the skirmish line. They were gathering up the broken fetters of the slaves, selling them for old iron and putting the money into spelling-books and Bibles, building school-houses and sending self-sacrificing, earnest Christian men and women to the South to teach these people; and I naturally fell very much in love with them.

I got a letter a day or two since. It was written by the Mayor of one of the chief cities of the South to myself. I picked this out of a large bundle of correspondence of the same sort. He addresses me and says: “You will doubtless be surprised at receiving a letter from me. In 1865 I was Mayor of this city, which position I now occupy. In that memorable year 1865, through your instrumentality and by order of Major-General George H. Thomas, I was suspended from office. But that is a matter of the past, and for one I favor letting ‘bygones be bygones.’ The charge against me was using my official position for the oppression of the colored people and opposing their education. However true that might have been at the time, certainly such a charge cannot be made against me now. Immediately after the close of the war and upon the restoration of civil law, I was chosen one of the School Commissioners of this district, and gave active aid, amidst much opposition, in the establishment of Public Schools. I have labored earnestly in the cause ever since, and I am proud to inform you that my efforts have in a measure been crowned with success. We have now a splendid school system and a magnificent school building for the whites. We wish now to do as much for the colored people. There is much opposition in every locality in the city to the establishment of a colored school in their midst. Yet, notwithstanding this opposition, I have proffered to sell a lot of my own for the purpose on very reasonable terms.”

Now, that is a great change to come about in seventeen years. So I simply sat down and wrote him a letter which he could use as “substance of doctrine.” I said: “My dear Mr. Mayor, go on to perfection. Do the same thing for the colored people you do for the white people, and blot ‘colored’ and ‘white’ out of your memory. Make a school for the children. It is not easy to send them to the same school; I know all about that.” The colored boy is perhaps more opposed to associating with the white boy in the school than the white boy is to associating with the colored boy. It takes a long time to overcome those strong prejudices on the part of the colored people.

Just after the establishment of Fisk school, which commenced in such a halo of glory under the auspices of this Association, there came into my headquarters in Nashville an old Irish woman, bringing her two little boys with her, and she said, “Misther Gineral Fisk, ’ave you heny hobjection to my sinding these little chaps to your nigger school?” I said, “Not at all, if the ‘niggers’ haven’t any objection.” But it will take a long time before they will drift into one school. I am glad that all of ours are open. How singular it would look to write over the portals of all our schools in the South, “White children admitted here!” Let us do all we can for the education of both races. That particular class to which my friend Haygood made such admirable reference, those poor white people of the South, appeals to us as scarcely any other interest in the South does to-day. Let us remember them. I am glad, sir [addressing Dr. Haygood], that you are going to be in a position to help a great many colored young men and women to become teachers.

Now, my friend Dr. Haygood is a wonderfully modest sort of a man. They chose him only a few weeks ago to be a bishop in his church. And they did a good thing. Nearly all that great conference of Southern Methodists voted for this man to take the highest place in their church, notwithstanding all his grand utterances, his earnest words, on many a Northern platform. They indorsed him and said, “Come up higher!” He took over night to think about it, and wrote them a letter declining to take such place as that. He said, “God has called me to be an educator, and an educator I will be.” To a man who turns his back upon a bishopric of the church and then accepts the Secretaryship of a fund to promote the education of the colored people, we can all give the right hand of fellowship. Now, let us all go out of this meeting with a new covenant of love and service for the Master.

It has well been said that the world itself is a musical instrument not yet fully strung; but when every coast shall be peopled by the lovers of our Lord Jesus Christ; when every mountain barrier shall be overcome; when every abyss shall be spanned, for the uninterrupted progress of the King’s highway of holiness, and the people of the earth shall flock together, as in the prophetic vision, to the mountain of the Lord’s house; then this world shall give its sound in harmony with the infinite intelligence, and angels and men shall shout together, “Hallelujah, the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth.” Between that glad day and us there are years of toil and travail. But there shall come the triumph. Truth is marching on, steadily—slowly, sometimes, through the centuries, but ever marching on, as resistless as the tides, whose each succeeding billow washes further up the sands. It may be

“ ... weary watching, wave on wave;
And yet the tide heaves onward.
We climb like corals, grave on grave,
But pave a path that’s sunward.
We’re beaten back in many a fray;
Yet newer strength we borrow;
And where the vanguard rests to-day,
The rear shall camp to-morrow.”

Let us go forth, with our faces to the stars, and do something each day of our lives to bring the world nearer to Christ, who died for it.

FROM ADDRESS OF REV. A. J. F. BEHRENDS, D.D.

There are a few themes so great, so charged with living importance, that an earnest man never wearies of their study. Like the rays of the sun, they are invested with perpetual freshness and force. Of these themes, the very greatest is the conquest of the world to Christ by the preaching of the Gospel and by the power of the Holy Ghost. But foreign missionary societies, whose special aim it is to carry the Gospel of Christ to the millions of heathenism, are not the exclusive guardians of this great trust. They are the advance guard of the army of conquest, clearing the way and widening the field, but their very presence as the scouts and scattered outposts of Christianity proclaims the presence of a greater army of occupation, pressing close upon their leadership. Back of your foreign work is that of home missions, the religious care of the ignorant, vicious, and neglected within our own borders; back of home missions is the manly culture of our professedly Christian constituency, the care and compact handling of our local churches; back of your local church life and work are those of your separate homes—influences secret, subtle, but all-pervasive, for in the Christian homes are the primary historic sources of all great inspirations and achievements, both for personal character and for social improvement. Far out on the world’s great battle-field, separated from each other by many a league, are the pickets of the army of the Lord; its great and growing supports are in the Christian nations, the Christian churches, the Christian homes.

Reinforcements at any point of the long line must increase the efficiency of the entire body. But the law of solid progress must be from the home, as the training school of personal devotion, through the church and the nation, to the broad world. I am afraid that we have not fairly estimated the importance of the third factor in the solution of the complicated problem of the world’s Christianization. We are not lacking in an appreciation of the value of domestic piety. We are not blind to the evangelistic vocation of the church, though the energetic revival of this conviction may be said to date from the close of the last century, and it has as yet only partially leavened the great body of nominal Christendom. But we are even farther from having mastered the thought that nations are born of a divine purpose, and summoned to missionary service.

God is marching on, not simply for the salvation of individual souls, and their preparation for a future heaven, but for the moral regeneration of nations, and the conversion of the world into a kingdom of righteousness and love. In this great task nations will yet be called to take an active part. Having ceased to be obstructive, having passed beyond the line of moral indifference, they are yet to prove themselves to be among the mightiest of positive forces for the world’s regeneration. And I confess that I have wholly misread the signs of the times if the Anglo-Saxon nationalities are not summoned and destined to bear a conspicuous part in the future of the world’s moral history. For you and for me there can be no call of greater urgency than that this youngest of the nations of the world, in which we are proud to claim our citizenship, whose birth is the marvel of history, whose development is the amazement of our time, whose guidance and discipline seem as clearly providential as were those of ancient Israel, shall be Christian, in order to the assimilation of all the heterogeneous elements of our population, and the consequent use of our united forces for the good of the race. No duty crowds us more closely than that we prove ourselves worthy of our ancestry, equal to our opportunities, building up on this new continent a compact commonwealth, whose glory it shall be that its streams of beneficence gladden all lands and enrich all peoples.

We cannot render the most effective Christian service to the world until we ourselves have become thoroughly leavened with the spirit of the Gospel, and any plan involving the Christianization of the American people must provide for the solution of that great problem with which this Association deals. You have not succeeded in making the white man the Christian he ought to be until he and the black man can clasp hands in the brotherhood of Christ. National unity must remain incomplete until all antagonisms have vanished, and the reconciliation is complete; and our moral influence on the world cannot be what it may be and ought to be until we have amicably and finally settled our domestic difficulties. American patriotism and Christian philanthropy—these are the two great considerations by which the work of the American Missionary Association appeals to the prayerful and practical sympathies of the Christian public.

RELATION OF THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION TO CIVILIZATION.

BY REV. F. L. KENYON.

There are two civilizations in this nineteenth century that are striving for the mastery. They differ in their source; the one is from heaven, the other from earth. They differ in their objects. The one has for its object the elevation of the animal in man to the supreme place. The other has for its object the elevation of the intellectual and moral and spiritual in man to the dominant place. They differ also in their supports and instrumentalities. The superstructure of the one rests upon ignorance and vice. The other rests upon and is built up by and through the school, the church, and the home. Thus it will be seen that the higher civilization has a triangular foundation, and when we remember that the triangle represents the highest perfection, we may get a hint at least that this must be the final civilization. The school, where the mighty power of a true education dispels and destroys the threatening illiteracy of the world. The church, where the wonderful transforming power of the gospel of Jesus Christ incarnates itself in true manhood and womanhood. The home, where the love principle is dominant and all controlling.

The higher civilization, which is to be the ultimate civilization for humanity, must include within its bounds, as constituent factors, every portion of the human race. The defect of previous civilizations was in their omitting one or more of these great and necessary factors.

The first of these is the idea of God. And this, first, as a personal God. This is necessary so as to make God accessible to us. In the second place, the true idea of God must include righteousness. He must be a righteous God. This involves the ideas of justice and law, without which no civilization can be perfect. Eliminate these qualities from civilization and in the place of government will come anarchy, which always and naturally produces destruction. In the third place, the true idea of God includes the fact that he is a loving God. The Johannean conception on this line is the ultimate of all conceptions, viz.: God is love. It is very clear that the final civilization must have this idea of God in all the breadth which I have simply outlined.

The second great idea is the “equality of man,” an equality not of conditions but of rights. Equality before God’s law and love, before human law and institutions. From this equality of man comes the great doctrine of freedom for all. Slavery cannot exist in a final civilization, because this final civilization is built up in part on the idea of equality of man. From this equality of man comes that other great social doctrine of the brotherhood of man. Any civilization which ignores the equality of man, and these great included ideas, freedom and brotherhood of man, cannot, in the very nature of things, be the higher and the final civilization. All former civilizations failed to recognize this great fact, and this is one of the reasons why they became effete and passed away. I believe God has chosen this land, and has raised up this Association for the purpose of working out this problem.

The physical view is a low one, and really belongs to the lower civilization. In comparison with the intellectual, and moral, and spiritual, the physical sinks into insignificance.

The third great idea of the permanent civilization is “the true idea of woman.” In the earlier civilizations woman was held as inferior to man, because perhaps she could not endure the fatigues of the chase or engage in wars, and such brutalizing pursuits. The very signs of her superiority were read as evidences of her inferiority. In some her position was hardly anything but that of a slave or a toy. In that civilization which had the highest culture of any of the old civilizations, an educated woman was classed in the common thought of the people as an impure woman. Thank God such a civilization as that was not the final one. In the final civilization woman has her place alongside of man—co-equal and co-ordinate.

The fourth great idea necessary to a permanent and final 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_.
