"Let me tell you of an especially sad case. ———— is a little girl about thirteen, her fair hair, blue eyes and white skin prove her parentage. Her mother is a colored woman of the lowest class, living and delighting in licentiousness. There are numberless such, but this woman differs from the majority in this respect, it is perfectly immaterial to her what becomes of this daughter. Usually, if the mother seems hopelessly bad she will yet try to shield her child from the same sin which has been her own ruin. * * * ————’s mother is different. Her grandmother has seen the danger to the girl of allowing her to remain with her mother, so has sent her here. But the grandmother can pay only five or six dollars a month towards her expenses. The tuition and board are twelve dollars, and beside this is the expense of clothing her. If the girl can remain here four or five years, such habits and good principles will be formed in her that at the end of that time she will be morally saved, perhaps. If during that time she could receive help she could then begin to teach and so help herself. There is more than usual religious interest in Fisk at present, and little ———— has surprised all by showing deep interest. “Will you not present her case to whomsoever will help her?” This opportunity offered suggests also that there are many such. We do not know of any better or more satisfactory work for an auxiliary than to assume the support of a student at Hampton, Carlisle, Fisk, or some other kindred institution. There is certainly no surer way to have a hand in the strengthening and purifying of our country as well as in saving individuals, for the large majority of those so helped go directly into the work of helping up their own race as teachers, and all so brought under the power of a Christian education must be centres of good in the nation.
