«Американский миссионер — Том 43, № 03, март 1889 г.»

Комната не очень большая, поэтому мисс Коллинз предложила им стоять. Хорошо, что они так и сделали, потому что они были плотно упакованы вместе, мужчины и мальчики с одной стороны, женщины и девочки с другой.

После того как все пришли, мы спели "Радость миру" на языке дакота, вместе с несколькими другими гимнами; все они пели очень громко. Затем Ваканна рассказал им о дне рождения Христа, затем мы зажгли маленькие свечи и убрали занавеску, и вы можете себе представить, что были широко открытые глаза и большие, улыбающиеся лица. Их было более двухсот, и каждый получил что-то; как сказал один мужчина сегодня мисс Коллинз: "Почему, Винона, ты не забыла маленьких детей; их имена были зачитаны так же, как и старых людей". Елка была очень красивой, и мне было бы бесполезно рассказывать, что каждый получил, но мальчики были в восторге от своих волчков так же, как девочки от своих красивых кукол; старики получили веера из перьев и были в восторге. После того как они получили подарки, мы раздали угощение; затем у нас были фейерверки; красный свет был для них удивительным — первый, который они когда-либо видели. Они пошли домой, казалось, очень счастливыми.

Мы хотим поблагодарить наших друзей, которые были так добры, что прислали нам эти красивые вещи для рождественской елки.

Я сама никогда раньше не проводила такое счастливое Рождество, потому что раньше все мои добрые друзья всегда старались сделать меня счастливой, а в этот раз я усердно работала, чтобы сделать счастливым кого-то другого, и я обнаружила, что это лучший вид счастья.

Мои скамейки были почти переполнены сегодня в школе, так как у меня было так много детей; замужние женщины приходят с детьми; они все очень стремятся и искренне хотят научиться читать и писать. Я прошу вас молиться, мои дорогие друзья, чтобы каждый день сеялись добрые семена, которые могут взойти и принести плод для Его служения.

Истинно ваш индейский друг,

JOSEPHINE E. BARNABY.

МИСС КОЛЛИНЗ.

Наши друзья вспомнят визит мисс Коллинз на Восток, и многие будут хранить очень приятные воспоминания о ее выступлениях на озере Мохонк и в других местах. Мы приводим ниже отрывки из письма, полученного от нее, представляющие яркую картину ее опыта при переходе через реку Миссури, когда лед ломался, потери ее одежды и последующих трудов среди своего народа дома.

Я так поздно вернулась со встреч в Оахе, хотя спешила как могла, что река замерзла, задержав нас почти на три недели. Лед сломался, позволив повозке со всеми моими зимними припасами уйти под воду. Мои сундуки со всей моей одеждой тоже ушли под воду. Это полностью испортило всю одежду, которую нельзя было постирать. Мое лучшее платье было замерзшим куском льда, когда я достала его — его больше никогда нельзя будет носить, и, по сути, вся моя одежда была изо льда. Я была так благодарна, что никто не погиб, что это кажется не стоящим того, чтобы говорить. Я обнаружила, что стала беднее, если не мудрее. Я сейчас измотана работой. Держала "открытый дом" уже две недели, и моя голова отказывается работать дальше. Мисс Эмерсон должна подождать моего письма. После Рождества я смогу написать. У меня так много пациентов и так много работы, чтобы позаботиться об испорченной одежде и провизии, и снова искать зимние припасы, что я не в состоянии писать.

ДЛЯ ДЕТЕЙ.

Несколько недель назад я стояла у своего окна, наблюдая, как дети собираются в школу. Мое внимание привлекли три девочки, идущие по улице, одна несла в одной руке узел, завернутый в платок, а в другой книги, в то время как две другие несли сундук вдвоем. Когда они повернули к дому, я побежала им навстречу; они пришли с улыбками, говоря, что пришли в школу. Когда я приветствовала их, мои глаза наполнились слезами, и молитва вознеслась к Богу, чтобы он благословил этих девочек и сделал их благословением. Сьюзен, Анжелина и Эмма оказались умными, приятными девочками и очень благодарными.

У меня было сто семь девочек на шитье в этом квартале; они кажутся такими же заинтересованными в своей работе, как и всегда. Некоторые из старших девочек хорошо справляются с раскроем и наметкой. Мы надеемся скоро иметь класс кройки и шитья. Малыши очень счастливы, когда наступают дни шитья. Меня часто встречают вопросом: «Мы будем сегодня шить?» Я встречаю этих сорока малышей в большой солнечной комнате (которая, надеюсь, когда-нибудь станет нашей гостиной) на полтора часа каждую неделю. Их глаза светлеют при виде тазов с водой и корзины для рукоделия. Они трудятся так же скромно, как и их старшие сестры; они любят петь маленькие песенки для шитья и слушать истории, пока работают иголкой.

От учителя в Институте Бич, Саванна:

У одного из моих новых учеников имя намного длиннее, чем он сам. Это Улисс Вирджиния Ли, и в дополнение фамилия Смит. Другой новый мальчик — Джози Майк, и я думаю, что его можно было бы изменить на "Майт" (Крошка), потому что он такой маленький экземпляр. Он не мог сказать свой возраст, и мы подумали, что он слишком мал, чтобы приходить, но взяли его на неделю на пробу, и так как он быстро учится школьным порядкам, мы позволим ему остаться. В прошлую пятницу, пытаясь внушить ему, что только хорошее поведение обеспечит ему парту в моем классе, я записала некоторые из его высказываний. "Почему ты хочешь прийти сюда в школу?" "Чтобы научиться чему-нибудь". "А что, если ты будешь непослушным, и мы выгоним тебя?" "Пойду в другую школу". "Почему ты ушел из той другой школы?" "Они не учат меня ничему". В ответ на вопрос, каким мальчиком он намерен быть, вместо того чтобы сказать "хорошим", как я ожидала, он ответил: "Я буду мальчиком Бич". Так что он был готов с ответом на каждый вопрос, и мне лишь жаль, что я не могу воспроизвести для вас его маленькое лицо и забавные интонации его голоса, когда он смотрел мне прямо в глаза, а его собственные маленькие глазки просто танцевали от веселья.

Одна из маленьких индейских девочек по имени Полли только что пришла спросить: «Мисс Д., что такое "вог"? Один белый мальчик назвал меня "полливог" (головастик), и я подумала, что "вог" должно быть чем-то плохим».

"Mr. Spurgeon's words are so plain, his style so sparkling, and his spirit so devout, that the reading of his productions is almost sure to excite a mental glow and awaken holy aspirations. This book is brimful of quickening, soothing, soul-lifting power and is admirably adapted to the end in view."—N.Y. Witness.

"The reader will find here a treasure-house full of riches, especially if he has learned what Mr., Spurgeon desires to teach, to 'treat the promise as a reality—as a man treats a cheque.'"—Boston Golden Rule.

ПИСЬМА ПИЛИГРИМА.

BY JOSEPH E. ROY.

Issued by the Congregational S.S. and Publishing Society:

Congregational House, Boston; 175 Wabash Av., Chicago.

ЦЕНА, $1.50.

Dr. A.H. Clapp says: "How much wife and I have enjoyed the Pilgrim Letters. There certainly is a vast deal of Historical (especially church historical) matter that has present value, but will have accumulating value in the coming years."

THE N.Y. INDEPENDENT.—"They carry the reader back to the times in which they were written, and reproduce the passion of those stirring days."

THE CONGREGATIONALIST.—"It goes without saying that these treat of significant topics, are breezy and graphic, and are full of earnest patriotism and piety."

THE ADVANCE.—"A good book. Instantaneous photographs of just the most vital and significant events which have given character and the turn of destiny to this epoch-making period."

NORTH WESTERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE. Chicago.—"Dr. Roy's book deserves to live and nobody can kill it if he tries. We hope it may have a large sale,—10,000 copies, and then a new edition."
