The field is the world, and the work is one. Frequently we have occasion to realize this blessed truth. Two contributions just received bring it up with fresh emphasis. One is from a home missionary who sends us a generous contribution for our work, and the other is from a former foreign missionary, who in sending his gift from over the sea, accompanies it with these inspiring words: “Your grand work still broadens out on all sides. God give his people hearts to devise and execute liberal things. The light surely is increasing and hope grows stronger as your work rolls onward with its mighty power—the power with which alone the spirit of God can endue it—is enduing it.” * * * * * The questions with which we have to do are inseparably connected with the welfare of our beloved land. They strike deep at the roots of the life of the churches. They touch the mission work in which the churches are engaged all along the line. Both home and foreign missions will languish if they are prosecuted at the neglect of just the work which the American Missionary Association is doing. The heathen world is a common object for the prayer, thought, sacrifice and effort of the churches of Christendom. But the heathenism of the neglected classes of America must be reached by the churches of America. Over that heathenism we cannot spring; past that heathenism we must not go without giving faithful attention to it on the way. * * * * * THE GLENN BILL. HAS A WHOLE STATE LOST ITS POISE?—It would seem as if the white people of Georgia had done this in so far as they are represented by their Legislature in its action on the Glenn Bill. The sentiment of the civilized world is against them. Of this they might easily satisfy themselves; yet it is reported that Mr. Glenn, during one of his speeches in favor of his infamous chain-gang bill, cried out: “What do the people of Georgia care for the sentiment of the world?” There is evidence, however, Mr. Glenn to the contrary notwithstanding, that Georgia does care for the sentiment of the world. In the Senate the bill has been called to a halt, and several attempts have been made to modify it. Here is a bill that has been passed by the Assembly about as unanimously as was the Glenn Bill: “_Resolved_ by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring: That in future the Governor be directed not to draw his warrant for the annual appropriation of $8,000 to Atlanta University, under the act of March 3d, 1884, until such a plan of expenditure as will secure the exclusive use of the same for the education of the colored children, in accordance with the declared and settled policy of the State on the subject of the co-education of the races, has been submitted and approved by the Commission constituted in said act for the supervision of the expenditure of said appropriation.
