Look in upon a single mission station. A group of three buildings attracts our attention as a bit of New England transplanted, a church, a good-sized school-house, and between the two a neat white painted cottage. The missionaries number four, of whom three are ladies from the North. Over 200 children and youth come daily to the school, where these missionary teachers instruct in branches usual in primary to grammar grades, and also in Christian morals and manners, with the Bible for a text-book, seeking earnestly to develop heart, mind and body to honor and righteousness. The little New England home gives practical illustration of what otherwise would be but dimly comprehended by those who have never known a home. It is open, day and evening, to all who will come. The morning devotions, the pleasant social meals, the group around the table in the evening, which the older pupils often join, are phases of home life sharply in contrast to the shiftless, joyless homes about them. With the influence of this home as a starting-point, these teachers, in visiting from house to house, suggest, advise, encourage, finding always the children the most ambitious to improve and make the little cabin like the teacher’s home. You would think this sufficient to occupy these three ladies, and so doubtless they would were it not for the dire need about them. So time is found for a sewing-school, for meetings with the women, for temperance societies, for mission Sunday-schools, and numerous other forms of systematic work—for the purifying of the home life, and to guard the children from the fate of the parents. Who but women could win an entrance into such homes and hearts? It is to counteract the ignorance and desolation of womanhood that woman’s help is needed in this broad field. But is it more the duty of these to go and teach, than for us who remain in the enjoyment of our great home privileges, to send them? Can any lines be drawn in the personal responsibility resting upon us as Christian women, for the redemption of womanhood in these so long cast out and bound down? Help is needed, and it is needed now, before the millions of children grow out of our influence and reach, to become like their parents, and even a more dangerous element in society.
