For Instant Use

As a reliable remedy, in cases of Croup, Whooping Cough, or
sudden Colds, and for the prompt relief and cure of throat and
lung diseases, Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is invaluable. Mrs. E. G.
Edgerly, Council Bluffs, Iowa, writes: "I consider Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral a most important remedy for home use. I have tested its
curative power, in my family, many times during the past thirty
years, and have never known it to fail. It will relieve the most
serious affections of the throat and lungs, whether in children
or adults." John H. Stoddard, Petersburg, Va., writes: "I have
never found a medicine equal to

AYER'S
Cherry Pectoral

for the prompt relief of throat and lung diseases peculiar to
children. I consider it an absolute cure for all such affections,
and am never without it in the house." Mrs. L. E. Herman, 187
Mercer St., Jersey City, writes: "I have always found Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral useful in my family." B. T. Johnson, Mt. Savage,
Md., writes: "For the speedy cure of sudden Colds, and for the
relief of children afflicted with Croup, I have never found
anything equal to Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. It is the most potent
of all the remedies I have ever used." W. H. Stickler, Terre
Haute, Ind., writes: "Ayer's Cherry Pectoral cured my wife of a
severe lung affection, supposed to be Quick Consumption. We now
regard the Pectoral as a household necessity." E. M.
Breckenridge, Brainerd, Minn., writes: "I am subject to
Bronchitis, and, wherever I go, am always sure to have a bottle
of

Ayer's Cherry Pectoral

with me. It is without a rival for the cure of bronchial
affections."

INDIGESTION

To strengthen the stomach, create an appetite, and remove the
horrible depression and despondency which result from
Indigestion, there is nothing so effective as Ayer's Pills. These
Pills contain no calomel or other poisonous drug, act directly on
the digestive and assimilative organs, and restore health and
strength to the entire system. T. P. Bonner, Chester, Pa.,
writes: "I have used Ayer's Pills for the past 30 years, and am
satisfied I should not have been alive to-day, if it had not been
for them. They

Cured

me of Dyspepsia when all other remedies failed, and their
occasional use has kept me in a healthy condition ever since." L.
N. Smith, Utica, N. Y., writes: "I have used Ayer's Pills, for
Liver troubles and Indigestion, a good many years, and have
always found them prompt and efficient in their action." Richard
Norris, Lynn, Mass., writes: "After much suffering, I have been
cured of Dyspepsia and Liver troubles

By Using

Ayer's Pills. They have done me more good than any other medicine
I have ever taken." John Burdett, Troy, Iowa, writes: "For nearly
two years my life was rendered miserable by the horrors of
Dyspepsia. Medical treatment afforded me only temporary relief,
and I became reduced in flesh, and very much debilitated. A
friend of mine, who had been similarly afflicted, advised me to
try Ayer's Pills. I did so, and with the happiest results. My
food soon ceased to distress me, my appetite returned, and I
became as strong and well as ever."

The receipts published in this number bring us to the end of the first three months of our fiscal year. The summary given above shows how we stand as compared with last year. Total compared with total, we are behind. May we not, however, hope that the turning-point will soon be reached, and that all through the rest of the year it shall be our privilege to chronicle a steady increase? We are out in the current of our work. We cannot turn back. The thirteen thousand dollar deficit from the last year adds to our solicitude. We ask our friends to keep their eyes upon the figures as we publish them from month to month. They will prove to be very suggestive teachers.

* * * * *

The papers are having a good deal to say these days about "hard times." Capital is sensitive and seeks cover at the slightest alarm. People hesitate about investing when they feel uncertain as to security. Benevolent societies are the first to feel the depression of business reverse. This fact is a storm signal whose significance we should sacredly heed. It proclaims danger, yet a danger that, with thought and prudence, can be averted. There are many whose gifts have come to us from an overflowing abundance. Suppose, now, that they should join the grand army of self-sacrificing givers that, at such a stress as hard times produce, is in sore need of recruits; suppose, farther, that by personal effort new contributors are secured, and then suppose some of the capital that may be withdrawn from investment for fear of loss, instead of being hidden away or placed under lock and key, should be sent out into the active service of the Lord, and be converted into redeemed souls and regenerated manhood. Just let these suppositions be realized, and the danger threatened will never be encountered. If the readers of the MISSIONARY will think, pray, talk and preach along such lines as the above suppositions mark out, we are confident that we shall be brought safely and triumphantly through. What if the record should show larger gifts in the treasury of the Lord than were ever known in times of acknowledged business prosperity! From the Christian stand-point, why not?

* * * * *

OUR ROLL OF HONOR.

We publish this month the names of our missionaries and the stations at which they are located. These names constitute our Roll of Honor. We are proud of them. Some of them are the names of old and long-tried veterans, the story of whose experience is full of romance and thrilling interest. All of them are the names of men and women who have made themselves of no reputation because of the work in which they are engaged. And what is that work? The salvation of the lost. The enlightenment of the ignorant. The elevation of the degraded.

It is surely very strange that opposition should be encountered in such work. It would seem as if it ought to have the benedictions of the good and the well wishes even of the bad. And yet the fact is, the good names of these missionaries are evilly spoken of; many times their personal safety has been imperilled, and they have been, and still are, made social outlaws because of their work.

This is not as it ought to be. It is not as it will be. Truth is steadily pushing for the light. Right is constantly asserting its claim for recognition. Old prejudices and false customs die hard; but their doom is written, and die they must. Problems will demand solution, in whose clearing up will vanish many a cherished folly. Here is such a problem for our Southern friends to solve. That most excellent Christian scholar and divine, Rev. Atticus G. Haygood, D.D., of Georgia, states it thus: "If, on other grounds, the teacher is entitled to personal and social recognition, the fact of his teaching a negro school should be no bar. Think, for example, of people admiring David Livingstone, and then turning up their noses at a teacher, not because he is bad, or ignorant, or ill-bred, nor yet even because he is a negro, but, forsooth, because he teaches a negro school! There is a very large intimation of 'sham' in this distinction without a difference. It is utterly absurd. May it not also be sinful?" We commend this problem to the good Christian people among whom our missionaries dwell, for solution. They will be sure to come out where Dr. Haygood leads them. And when they see the absurdity of their attitude in regard to our missionaries, we believe they will soon see the farther conclusion, namely, that it is sinful.

Meanwhile, our missionaries will keep on faithfully doing what they believe to be right, accomplishing thus two things at once: Witnessing for the truth and helping the needy. All honor to this noble band of self-denying, principle-maintaining men and women. They are standard-bearers of our advancing Christianity. They are where, as standard-bearers, they ought to be, at the front, the post of sacrifice and danger, but they are leading in a cause that is sure to win.

* * * * *

THE FREEDMAN'S CASE IN EQUITY.

This is the title of a most thorough and refreshingly candid paper from the pen of Geo. W. Cable, published in the January _Century_. His opening sentence, "The greatest social problem before the American people to-day is, as it has been for a hundred years, the presence among us of the negro," indicates his estimate of the importance of the subject. From beginning to end the paper bears the marks of carefulest thought, profound conviction, and loyalty to truth. Mr. Cable is a native of Louisiana, an ex-Confederate soldier, the son and grandson of slave-holders. He has a right to be heard. He knows the subject. He knows the American people. He evidently believes that nothing is ever settled that is not settled right. He does not believe that the freedman's case has as yet been thus settled. Moral questions will not be suppressed. If ignored in the domain of private morals, they "spring up and expand once more into questions of public equity; neglected as matters of public equity, they blossom into questions of national interest; and despised in that guise, presently yield the red fruits of revolution." On the basis of such a principle, he argues that there will be no quiet to the agitation until the freedman is a free man in all respects. And he is right. We commend our readers to secure this article if possible and read it. They will be amply repaid.

* * * * *

We hope none of our readers will fail to read Prof. Crogman's address, published in this number of the MISSIONARY. Prof. Crogman is a graduate of our Atlanta University, and is now a Professor in the Clark University, a school for colored youth in Atlanta sustained by Methodists. The splendid tribute he pays the teachers who went South to teach the colored people is very handsomely done--and it is just.

* * * * *

And still the votes are coming in. Subscriptions for THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY last month number nearly one-half the total subscriptions of the preceding year. Most heartily do we thank our friends. There are thousands yet to be heard from. We know fifty cents is not a very convenient sum to send, but we beg our readers to remember that a dollar answers for two years. _Vote early and often._ In politics, this is not a commendable motto. In the peculiar election we are just now trying to carry through, we put special emphasis on the _vote early_, and yet do not object to the vote often--that is, if the voters feel like it.

* * * * *

A SANITARY VIEW OF INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.

From the time when it was made manifest that man by the sweat of his brow must provide his bread, there has been occasion for industrial education. Its ameliorating consequences is a good reason for it. Indirectly, at least, it has the example of the Carpenter's Son for its authority; His mighty works were for the most part in relief of physical wants. An industrial education serving such ends has an unquestionable warrant.

In the August number of THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY we gave statistics of mortality of colored people in several Southern cities. For the last week in May the number of deaths per 1,000 among the blacks in Atlanta was 49, in Charleston 39, and in Richmond 50; while the death rate among the whites in those cities was 19, 18 and 19, respectively--less than one-half. This showing was not on account of the negro's inaptitude for the climate; that is especially favorable for him. It was in consequence of his ignorance of hygienic laws on the one hand, and his inability or indisposition to observe them on the other.

On several occasions, a few years since, colored missionaries for Africa were submitted to a thorough medical examination, when it was found that among the females but few were sound in body. Different physicians informed us repeatedly that most negro women in this country were in like unhealthy condition, for which ignorance, poverty, neglect and wrong were chargeable. To avert such evils from the coming generation is a part of the work of this Association. The negro will never be at his best either for this country or Africa until his physical condition is improved.

Looking at an industrial education simply from this point, much will be found to emphasize its urgency. The colored people have been limited to a very meagre variety of food. Pork with corn-bread improperly prepared has been the chief staple of a majority of them. In our different boarding institutions and in our schools for cookery we teach that suitable food should be used and how it should be prepared. The blacks are apt students in this department; they have ability as cooks. The Southern country is capable of producing a large variety of crops, and we seek to encourage such agricultural industries as will be most helpful. At Berea a fruit-canning establishment has been put in operation. At Tougaloo, truck is raised for the Northern market. At Atlanta, experiments with a variety of crops have been abundant and successful, so that by these simple household and agricultural industries a good variety for invalids, young children and others is being furnished. We are rendering great service also by teaching our students to have care for the protection of their persons. They need good houses; we teach them carpentry. Their clothing has been limited and unsuitable. They are often ignorant of what is required for health, and when and how to wear their garments. We instruct them in their proper use, and how clothing should be made. Exposure to wet and cold, over-exertion and improper indulgences--these account largely for the diseases among the females to which we have referred. We aim to remedy these evils. Lady missionaries, lady physicians, ladies in charge of industrial schools, one and all are mindful for the health of those to whom they minister, and not a little of their work consists in urging the observance of sanitary laws; and we believe that however weighty other considerations for an industrial education are, none appeal more powerfully to the Christian heart than those mentioned, and that the death-rate to which we have alluded indicates that human pity, as well as Christianity, renders such work not only timely but imperative.

* * * * *

BENEFACTIONS.

Hon. S. A. Smith has given $50,000 to McGill University, Montreal, for separate higher instruction for women.

Dr. Taylor, late President, has presented to Wooster, O., University an additional gift of property, valued at $5,000.

E. A. Goodnow, of Worcester, has pledged the sum of $10,000 to the Huguenot Seminary of South Africa, on the same terms as his recent gift to Iowa College.

The $6,000 given by Mrs. Knowles for an industrial building at Atlanta University, has provided a neat and suitable building for the institution.

A Northern gentleman interested in the Slater work, has given $25,000 to Emory College, and other friends have pledged $30,000, for a School of Technology in the college.

The children of the late Caleb Van Husan, of Detroit, give $6,000 to Kalamazoo College, $2,000 to the Chicago Baptist Theological Seminary, and $500 to the Clinton Avenue Baptist Church, It having been their father's intention to make such gifts himself.

_The $365,000 required by the A. M. A. ought to be expended in aggressive missionary work, and its institutions should be speedily endowed in order that the Society may have the funds to do so._

* * * * *

THE A. M. A. AT THE NEW ORLEANS EXPOSITION.

As a matter of interest to many of our readers, we here quote, slightly abbreviated, a report of our exhibit in New Orleans, given in the _Daily Picayune_ of that city:

The American Missionary Association display closes the
educational exhibits in the east gallery. It occupies large
space and is gayly decorated with pale-blue and white draperies.
In this display will be found a complete report for eye and mind
of the progress made by the colored school children and by the
Indians during the past years. Upon long tables are ranged for
examination books in use, neatly bound, copy-books and
innumerable specimens of drawing, fancy work, knitting and plain
sewing, also agricultural and blacksmithing specimens from
various training schools.

Straight University, which has nearly 600 pupils, sends
examination pamphlets, a number of pictures and silk embroidery.

It is curious to note what most interests visitors in certain
departments. Straight University sends large numbers of
imaginary letters written by pupils from various parts of the
world. The visiting public read these letters with as much
avidity as if the innocent epistles were real letters, and the
neat manuscripts are already well thumbed. One of the best
letters, all things considered, is from a pupil from Honduras,
who has only been studying English two years. His letter, signed
Emilio Mazien, is first rate.

The display from the Indian School at Santee, Neb., consists of
school books printed in the Sioux Indian language, and these are
a first, second and third reader, a moderately advanced
geography, a hymn-book, and "Dakota Wowapi Wakan," or Bible in
the Sioux tongue. A little oblong crocheted tidy is made of
parti-colored stripes, each one the work of a young Pocahontas,
who has added her name, age and tribe to which she belongs. In
fact all the Indian work is thus marked--the young red men and
maidens seeming particularly careful to give their tribe. This
school also exhibits shoes, harness, tin cans, step ladders and
models of household furniture. The girls have sent long linen
bands full of buttonholes, aprons and undergarments finely
hemmed.

The Atlanta University sends silk-worms, cocoons, a neatly drawn
map of the city, and fine examples of free-hand drawings applied
with colors.

The kindergarten exhibits from Storrs Atlanta school are very
cunning, and the photograph of the ebony kindergarteners, taken
while at their tasks, is like a picture. The work of the
children, braided wraps, embroidered animals and paper
contrivances, will compare favorably with any kindergarten in
the country.

The exhibit from the Hampton Institute, Virginia, is placed upon
a pedestal. This school is properly a State Agricultural
University for the negro race in Virginia and for such Indians
as may be sent to it by the National Government. It has 600
members, and these have sent some very fine harness, woolen work
and carpentry work.

A curious display from the Gregory Institute, Wilmington, N. C.,
teaches quite a lesson in domestic economy. The girls have sent
specimens of "stocking darning" and of that still more
economical and homely employment known as "re-footing old
stockings." A patchwork quilt made by the boys, forms a part of
this display. Looking over the exhibits made under the American
Missionary Association, the writer is pleasantly impressed with
the excellent care with which the colored and Indian pupils all
over the country are being instructed in trades. As cooks,
carpenters, blacksmiths, farmers, brick-makers they are being
practically instructed, as well as being given good collegiate
educations.

The display of drawings from the Le Moyne Institute, of Memphis,
is exceedingly beautiful and attracts universal admiration, as
being most artistic and complete.

THANKSGIVING ADDRESS AT ATLANTA UNIVERSITY.

BY. PROF. W. A. CROGMAN.

If I were asked to-day what one thing since the close of the war has contributed most to the permanent prosperity of the South, I should unhesitatingly answer, Christian charity--that charity which has exhibited itself not only in the giving of gifts, not only in the lavish expenditure of immense sums for the elevation of the degraded masses; but by its prayers, by its sentiments promptly and fearlessly expressed against wrong, by its patient endurance, and by its individual sacrifices made in a field which could promise but little more to the laborer than the reward of conscience for having served at a critical period his country and his kind. It is just nineteen years since the surrender at Appomattox, nineteen short years. But what events have crowded into that brief period! What stupendous changes have been wrought within that time in American society, especially in Southern society!--changes as radical in their nature as they will be far-reaching in their consequences. It is true that these changes have not always been accompanied by peace and quiet and good feeling. This was hardly to be expected. There have been bloodshed and murders. There have been individual sufferings. Thousands have perished by violence and privation. But what, after all, are the sufferings of the thousands compared with the freedom of the millions, and all the possibilities which that freedom grants? And whatever may have been the sufferings, it is safe, I think, to say that they would have been multiplied many times, had it not been for the tireless energies of the Christian churches.

The victories of peace are more glorious than those of war, it is said. I believe it; for they are generally more difficult to achieve. It is easier by far to kill a man than to change his opinions. It is easier by far to overrun a country than to root out of the hearts of its inhabitants their long cherished hatreds and prejudices. This requires time. This requires patience. This requires sacrifice. This requires forbearance and love. Hence it has ever been the lot of Christianity to follow in the track of armies, and reconquer that which was said to be conquered. Cæsar with invincible legions may carry Roman eagles into the very heart of Britain; but the proper subjugation of that island dates from the time when Pope Gregory the First sent St. Augustine and forty monks to preach the gospel to those fierce, wild, uncouth barbarians. And so, when the victorious army of the North was passing in review before President Johnson in the streets of Washington, another army vastly inferior in numbers, imbued with a different spirit, and armed with no other weapons than the Bible and the spelling book, was marching under the eye of God down into this very field from which Grant and Sherman had but recently withdrawn. Silently came they into the field. There was no heralding of their approach, no display. Hopefully came they into the field, notwithstanding they knew that to the majority of the people their presence would be obnoxious. They came with faith in God and love for man. They came impelled by Christian duty and patriotism to wage a new war against the more deadly enemies of the republic--ignorance and vice.

It is not necessary; nor is it desirable to dwell here on the state of the South at that time. It could but present a picture dark and confused at the best. It is not necessary to remind you here of the bitter opposition which existed then to negro education, an opposition which only too often manifested itself in acts of violence and brutality. Nor need I remind you here of the hatred and contempt that was heaped upon the so called "nigger teacher." This is history, known and read of all men. Pleasanter by far will it be, and certainly appropriate on this good Thanksgiving Day, to revert for a few moments to the splendid achievements, under God, of these faithful, Christian workers.

Their work, as we have said, was begun in confusion; but out of chaos they have brought order, out of darkness light. Previous to the emancipation not more than 30,000 colored persons in all these United States could read and write. To-day, according to the statement of Commissioner Orr, of this State, a statement verified by statistics, fully 1,000,000 colored children are in the schools. I say, previous to the emancipation, not more than 30,000 colored persons could read and write. To-day, according to the last report of the society under whose auspices I have been laboring for many years, that society alone has given instruction to 80,000 persons, and these in turn to tens of thousands more. This number could, of course, be greatly swelled by the figures which could be shown by the Congregationalists, Baptists and Presbyterians, who for these many years have been laboring with equal patience, zeal and love, for the advancement of mankind.

There are some, however, who think that there has not been enough accomplished in these years, for the time, the money and the energy spent. Well, perhaps there has not. But suppose these various societies had accomplished, up to this time, nothing more than the teaching of these thousands simply how to read and write, who could estimate the value of the achievement? Who could measure the scope of its influence and tell where that influence will end! When you have once taught a man to read you have placed in his hands the key with which he may--if he be industrious--unlock all the stores of knowledge in his own language. When you have once taught a man to read you have opened up to him unlimited possibilities, and laid the foundations for a broad and liberal culture. When you have once taught a man to read you have introduced him into the best society of all the ages; you have made him the companion of Shakespeare, Milton and Bunyan; of Bacon and of Burke; of Tennyson, Longfellow, Bryant and Emerson; and you have quite unfitted him for slavery. When years ago a kind mistress, in the State of Maryland, undertook to teach a little slave boy to read, little did she think that she was awakening aspirations never again to be quenched; little did she dream that she was unchaining extraordinary powers, and kindling the first fires of eloquence in the soul of a Douglass. The alphabet was made for freemen. It is the weapon most dreaded by tyrants. When Martin Luther would break most effectually and for all time the papal yoke from the neck of Germany, he translated the Bible and set the people to reading. I am thankful to-day for the pen of Lincoln and for the sword of Grant; but more thankful by far for the patient "school ma'am" who taught the negro his letters, and set a million of us to reading.
