Chapter 3

Beside this our church here has given about $15 to the Lincoln Memorial Fund for the Association and $10 to buy table and chairs for the pulpit. Our Christians are going from house to house to pray with the sick, and many of these people are being brought to Christ through this means. On communion Sunday we opened the folding doors and yet the church was so full that three of us sat down on the little platform behind the pulpit.

I forgot to tell you that aside from this $206 we raised $200 to build a chapel at One Bull’s, where Elias was. The house is too little.

We are not "lazy, good-for-nothing Indians, fit only for the soldiers’ target." We are men and women struggling against clannishness and superstition--against evil without and within--reaching up to you who know the blessedness of the Light of the Gospel, asking you to reach down, down into our dark lives and lift us up. Let us get a glimpse on this side of the beauties of Heaven.

We need your help, and bye and bye we will join your forces and help you to gather with God’s fold other tribes and nations who know not God. Do not cut us down this spring. It will break our hearts with discouragement.

God help people to hear our prayer. We shake hands with God’s people in the name of Jesus Christ our Saviour.

P.S.--Three of the people outside the church in this village have given me their names as candidates for church membership at the May communion.

CROW AGENCY, MONTANA.--The growth of the missionary work among the Indians at the Crow Agency, Montana, is very encouraging. Recent reports from this field bring information of large gatherings in the religious services, and in the church services and Sunday-school. Our missionary, Rev. J. G. Burgess, is planning to spend several weeks this summer among the camps on the prairies to which the Indians withdraw during the warmer months. A chapel is very much needed at this mission in order to afford a place for religious gatherings and such instruction as the missionary and his wife are able to give these Indians. This mission of the American Missionary Association is the only Protestant mission among the entire Crow tribe.

THE CHINESE.

THE OROVILLE MISSION.

BY REV. W.C. POND, D.D.

New Years Cake.

The cake of which we give a picture is more than a monument to the artistic cookery of which some of our brethren there are capable. It was made in a sort of Christian competition with the rude and senseless operations by which their idol-worshiping countrymen observed their great annual festival. And on Salvation Army principles, though not after their methods, it called the attention of multitudes both of Chinese and Americans to the Mission House and the Mission work and the Saviour for whom our brethren were eager to bear witness. They did not confine their attention to cake-making nor express their loyalty to Christ in that way alone, but made up a very respectable sum, which, as "New Year’s Gifts to Jesus," they placed in our treasury.

The picture, as we are able to give it in our magazine, is not large enough to show all the points of interest about this cake. It represents, of course, a Chinese pagoda, but with the idols omitted. Possibly there is in it a little symbolism of _ascent_--the excelsior spirit which comes from new life in Christ. Beginning at the shell foundation, we see two cards which bear in Chinese an inscription literally translated thus: "Eyes see; hands must not touch." Above this were the more abrupt or pointed English words: "Hands off." Over the door at the head of the steps is a framed inscription: "Happy New Year, 1896." In what might be called the second story there is another inscription, which, being interpreted, reads: "Blessed News Chapel"--_i.e._, Gospel Chapel--while on the right post are characters which, literally translated, mean: "Blessed Land: good cultivating"--_i.e._, to good cultivation this happy land yields large returns. On the left-hand post the characters literally translated mean: "News Chapel: righteous pastor: forms intimate friends"--_i.e._, the righteous pastor of this Gospel Chapel makes warm friends.

On either side of the cake are Chinese New Year’s lilies (narcissus) growing to perfection in saucers supplied with nothing except clean pebbles and pure water--these are said to symbolize purity and mercy. Above the lilies rise great clusters of artificial flowers, which also have some symbolical import; I am unable to say what.

This will be a good place to say a few words about this mission, which has now been in existence for more than twenty years. During all this period it has occupied, _rent free_, a small brick building belonging to our ex-Governor and United States Senator, Hon. George C. Perkins, who began his wonderfully successful career in this town of Oroville. He has not even required us to pay the taxes upon it, and when a rumor reached my ears that his agent had received an offer for the purchase of it, Mr. Perkins kindly assured me that we should have the first chance to buy it, and he would help us out by a generous donation. That’s the sort of man he is.

There has always been a large Chinese population engaged mainly in mining, whose headquarters were at Oroville. When our mission was established the number was estimated at not less than twenty-five hundred. Chinatown was quite extensive and all its frail structures swarmed, like bee-hives, with inhabitants. There are no such throngs now, but there are still people enough to call forth the most and the best that we can do for them.

A large number of Chinese have here been turned from idol-worship to the love of Jesus. I have at hand no means of scanning the long roll--reaching up to many hundreds--of those who have for longer or shorter periods been brought here to know something of Christ. And the frequent change of teachers has rendered impossible any adequate statement of results. Among those whom I specially remember are three Yongs: One, Yong Jim, an unusually well-educated man who, after being a missionary helper in several of our fields, returned to China, and has done gospel-work there in connection with the American Board; another, Yong Kay, was a delegate from California to the great convention of the Y. P. S. C. E. in Boston, and made several addresses there, which were well received. He is now preaching the Word in that city. Yet another of the same family has been for several years a leader in Christian work among the Chinese in New York. The Christians in California and elsewhere belonging to this family have a little missionary work of their own among their relatives in China in addition to what they do through our Chinese Missionary Society. The work at Oroville is now in excellent hands. We have a good helper--intelligent, wise, steadfast--who almost wholly supports himself, drawing but five dollars per month from our treasury, and giving back a goodly portion of this. The teachers are faithful and earnest, and I rejoice to add that for several years our church in that town has recognized its responsibility for this work, has given it the right hand of fellowship, and has aided it with generous gifts.
