ANNUAL MEETING.
The next Annual Meeting of the American Missionary Association will
be held in Cleveland, Ohio, commencing Tuesday, October 24, at 3
p.m. On Tuesday afternoon the annual report of the Executive
Committee, including the Treasurer’s report, will be presented, and
on Tuesday evening the annual sermon will be preached by Rev.
C. L. Goodell, D.D., of St. Louis, Mo.
On Wednesday morning the report of the Committee on the
Amendments to the Constitution will be presented. The succeeding
sessions of Wednesday and Thursday will be occupied with papers
and reports of committees, with addresses. On Wednesday and
Thursday evenings, addresses will be given by Rev. A. J. F.
Behrends, D.D., Rev. Atticus G. Haygood, D.D., and other
distinguished speakers. The names of other speakers and further
details will be published in the October Missionary and in the
religious papers. The report of the Committee on the Revision of the
Constitution will be found on the page following the receipts in this
number of the Missionary.
FINANCIAL—CLOSING MONTH—PROSPECTS.
This month (September) closes the fiscal year of the American
Missionary Association, and will decide whether it is to receive the
$300,000 asked for at the annual meeting. The figures show that the
receipts for the ten months, ending July 31, were $262,829.31;
leaving a balance of $37,170.69 to be made up in August and
September. The receipts from legacies in the ten months were
$74,152.29, but for the remaining two months none of large amount
are anticipated, and as August is usually unfavorable for collections,
and as our receipts at the date of going to press (August 14) are
small, we must depend ultimately upon the receipts of September to
make up the sum needed.
We are anxious to secure the $300,000. It will not only cheer the
officers and the constituency of the Association, but the work
absolutely demands that amount. The fear of debt alone deters us
from making needed repairs, improvements and additions. The
details would convince our friends that economy and efficiency
would be promoted by the expenditures we have thus far withheld.
Permit us then to ask; (1) that treasurers of churches and executors
of estates remit to us at their earliest convenience monies in their
hands intended for us; (2) that pastors and church committees take
up collections that are on the list for September, or that have been
neglected during the year; and (3) that generous friends send us
contributions to meet the emergency.
AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION.
The Committee appointed at the last annual meeting of this
Association, to consider and report on Amendments to its
Constitution, have held two meetings during the year, and have
given very careful thought to the subject. Their report is given in the
form of “The Proposed Constitution,” which will be found on another
page. We ask for it the deliberate consideration of our constituency,
in the hope that a unanimous decision on the subject may be
reached at the next annual meeting. The Committee consists of the
following persons: Col. Franklin Fairbanks, Pres. E. H. Merrill, Hon.
Wm. B. Washburn, Rev. L. W. Bacon, D.D., Rev. L. T. Chamberlain,
D.D., Rev. Geo. M. Boynton, Pres. E. H. Fairchild, Hon. C. I. Walker,
S. R. Heywood, Esq., Rev. A. E. P. Perkins, D.D., Col. C. G.
Hammond, Rev. A. H. Plumb, D.D., J. G. W. Cowles, Esq.
SCHOOL-WORK FOR THE INDIANS.
The regular correspondent of the Tribune, in reporting a conference
with Mr. Teller, the Secretary of the Interior, upon his Indian policy,
gives this question and answer:
“What is your view of Indian education, and of the Hampton and
Carlisle schools in particular?”
“I recognize the usefulness of those schools, but I insist that they
are entirely inadequate, as any number of them would be, to
accomplish what is desired. The Hampton and Carlisle schools no
more meet the exigency than Yale and Harvard supply education to
the youth of the whole United States. There are 50,000 Indian
children. We must furnish means for their education. Hampton and
Carlisle will do for the training of teachers. But we must get the
schools, which are to educate the masses of Indian children, out
nearer to the tribes.”
This is our view, exactly. Use these and similar institutions at the
South for training the young people brought to them from the Indian
country to become teachers and mechanics. Then let them go back
to their people and serve as teachers of the home schools and
leaders in the mechanic arts.
The reports from our schools have crowded our limited pages for the
last two months, and have compelled us to leave over a number of
articles which will be found in the pages of this number. Our readers
will agree with us that these articles contained so much of spice that
they have not become mouldy by the delay. We wish, however, to
notify our teachers and missionaries that we desire as speedily as
possible the renewed use of their pens. Nothing, however good, can
be a substitute for their fresh views and facts.
CASTE ON THE CARS.
Our new-made fellow-citizens at the South are coming to such
consciousness of their civil and political rights as leads them to
demand the protection of law. The Cincinnati Southern Railway has
recently paid a fine of $1,000 for putting a colored man who had a
first-class ticket into a second-class car. The Atlanta & West Point
Railroad, for a similar offence, has been compelled to pay a fine of
$400. The Georgia Railroad, having been sued, thought it best not to
stand a trial, and paid $700 to a colored young woman who was put
off its train because she was in a first-class car with a first-class
ticket. At Nashville two or three suits have been entered in the same
line. Bishop Payne, as is well known, having been put off from a
Florida road, is seeking legal redress. Bishop Cain, also of the African
M. E. Church, having purchased a first-class ticket on the Sunset
route, in Texas, was about to enter the car to which his ticket
authorized him to go. Some white people who were also getting
aboard said that they would not go if the black man should take a
seat in that car. He then entered the parlor car, paying the extra
dollar for his seat, and now has sued the company for $20,000.
It is a clear case that the law for common carriers requires the
companies to allow passengers who have first-class tickets to ride in
first-class cars. The 14th amendment declares that “no State shall
deprive any person of life, liberty or property, without due process of
law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.” Justice Strong, of the Supreme Court,
referring to this language in the recent case of Strander v. Virginia
(10 Otto, 307), which related to the exclusion of colored men from
juries, said: “What is this but declaring that the law in the State shall
be the same for the black as for the white; that all persons, whether
colored or white, shall stand equal before the laws of the States, and
in regard to the colored race, for whose protection the amendment
was primarily designed, that no discrimination shall be made against
them by law because of their color.”
It is clear that the railway companies are doing better and better in
this matter. Some allow colored passengers to go without hindrance
where their first-class tickets would take them. Other railway officials
have instructed their train men that if colored people with first-class
tickets make request to enter the first-class cars, they shall be
allowed so to do, though the brakemen will keep them out as long
as they can. Our colored friends must be patient while public
sentiment is advancing and the law is coming to their help. Many
colored people are as sensitive to the nicotine poison as any white
ladies, and it is a cruelty, aside from the injustice, to thrust them into
the smoking-car.
ADDRESS OF THE REV. GEO. M. BOYNTON
AT THE BOSTON ANNIVERSARY, MAY 31, 1882.
There are four ways in which a race in the enjoyment of power and
prosperity may deal with a race which is under the burden of
weakness and temporary debasement; God forbid that I should say
with an inferior race; for it is not ours to measure gifts until the scale
of opportunity shall have been equalized; God forbid that I should
say with a despised race, though that too nearly represents the fact
among large portions of people, even in our own land and day;—I
say, in dealing with races which are for the present weaker and in
inferior position to our own. I used to read, when I studied
geography, that the inhabitants of the world could be classed under
four heads: as barbarous, half-civilized, civilized and enlightened.
And I think the four methods in which this race may be treated
correspond somewhat with these four divisions of human progress.
The first and barbarous cry which meets a weaker race is, “kill them;
put them out of existence.” The first impulse of savage men—the
question is when the savagery is all expelled from human nature—is
to put out of the way that which is offensive, that which is in your
way, that which seems in any way to compete with your full
satisfaction and enjoyment.
The next way of dealing with those of a weaker race is to use them,
subordinate them to your own service, make bondsmen of them, let
them be your hewers of wood and drawers of water, command their
labor and their persons, control even their instruction and their
religion, and make them absolutely yours.
The third way in which a superior race may deal with a weaker race
is by the gentler, but perhaps no less harmful, process of letting
them alone,—withdraw from them, hands off! Shut them out, keep
them away, make the barrier between yourself and them
impassable.
There is one way more in which a race higher in circumstance and
condition and endowment may treat those who for the time are
weaker than they, and that is to lift them up to its own plane just so
fast and just so far as God shall make it possible.
If we read in the Old Testament, as many are increasingly disposed
to do, a progress of development which recognizes the training of
mankind from its lowest possible basis up to its highest possible
attainment, we may find illustrations of these four methods of
treatment in that record. The first conviction of their duty, and with
Divine consent, toward the races which occupied Canaan, was to
exterminate the people of the land. At a little later stage, when
Joshua had entered the country, he made his league with the
Gibeonites and the people of the central confederacy, by which they
became his hewers of wood and drawers of water. As we read on
still further in the story, we find the Jews shutting themselves out
from all mankind, and shutting all men off from them, having no
dealings even with the Samaritans. But, when the Lord Jesus Christ
came, bringing the light of the gospel and the character of God and
heavenly opportunities on to the soil of our earth, his last command
is, “Share my gifts in every land with every creature,” and the last
word he promises that some of us shall hear before we enter into
the lasting joy of heaven, is, “Because ye have done it unto the least
of these, my brethren, ye have done it unto me.”
Our country has illustrated all these methods of treatment of the
weaker races. Its cry has been toward the Indian—its characteristic
cry almost from the very first—“Kill him; there is no good Indian but
a dead Indian;” and that sentiment, that barbarism, has not yet
altogether been exterminated from the land. Our country has said of
the great African race, “Enslave them; use them; subordinate them
to our own uses; make them our hewers of wood and drawers of
water, our chattels, our breeders of children; use them without
conscience; subordinate them to our own supposed good.” And even
now our land, this land of freedom, to which we all came strangers
at some past time, has issued its edict through its highest courts
that the Chinaman shall be shut out from all access to our civilization
