The Freedman.
Ex-Gov. Northen once said: 81 have
heard many public prayers offered for the
success OF missions in Africa, but never
a public prayer offered for the salvation
Of negroes in the SOUTH
I think that today there are in our home
missionary societies many prayers, both
public and private. offered for the saliva
ton Of the freedmen. Not only prayers
but generous giving to alleviate their
needs and assist In their temporal and
spiritual advancement. 1t has been said.
and I believe it to be true, that the SUI
preme need Of the negro in the south to-
know what to teach, how to teach, and
why they teach 1t; but more than this,
they must have the strength and capacity
to direct the moral growth. the religious
activities and the economic welfare OF
their communities. Their influence must
be such as to- make morality the most
common reality, religion the personal In
Spiration that shall produce effective
ideals. and economy and industry the
corner stone Of earthly progress and hap
piness Such teachers believe in their
mission. Through the training. their
character and their desire to serve. con-
slant and rapid progress must be as
sured."
Have any such teachers gone forth
from your denomination to engage in this
great home missionary work for the
Master? If not. why not?. The freed
man is a child to be taught. Being de-
prived Of all the chances and opportuni-
ties for life's Improvement he is a babe
Of humanity, and sorely needs the
trained, consecrated Christian teacher.
Are there not some Of the Christian
Endeavorers of your denomination who
by Gods grace are qualified and who SO
believe in this Christly mission that they
can render this great service to God
and to mankind?

The Mountaineer.
One of the most promising and inspir-
ing fields OF the home missionary depart
ment Of service is found among the
mountaineers Of the south. Splendid
work and grand achievement has been
accomplished for these people in Ken
lucky, Tennessee, West Virginia and
North Carolina These mountain folk
deserve our aid ana our prayers. The
ancestors of many Of them came from
Scotland and Ireland and fought brave
ly in the revolutionary war.
They are pure Americans. It is said
that In North Carolina LESS than one
per cent are Of foreign birth and ninety
five per cent are Of state nativity" They
are not beggars: but they have a hard
struggle against Ignorance, poverty and
poor soil. Many of their homes are desti-
tute Of the common necessities, and large
families of eight and ten children do
not have $25 a year in money to spend
but with the education our missionaries
are affording the younger generation.
things are steadily growing better. The
teaching and Christian influences of our
missions are developing the young lives.
and they are growing up to strong
manhood and womanhood. The call for
more consecrated lives to enter this field
sands of mountain children to be edu-
Gated, and their parents only need the
touch Of helpfulness and sympathy to
awaken them to the joy of life and
service.
What are you, my reader, and your de-
nomina ton doing in answer to the call
from these mountaineers of our own
land for help and deliverance from the
sad conditions in which time and cir
cumstances has placed them?
They are patriotic by reason Of the
blood that flowed in the veins Of their
Ancestors. They are strong in the char
acterist!cs Of honesty and love Of fire.

fuences into a fuller knowledge of the
opportunities and privileges of citizen

strength to our nations life, and they
will contribute much to Christian civil
cation and progress in the near future.

And the little gray cot sends mes

Sits there in the shadow or sits in

With patient contentment to wait.

When lac comes with a jog Ger the
