The Thomasville (Ga.) _Times_ speaks very commendatorially of the American Missionary Association’s work in Thomasville. It refers with evident pleasure to the erection of our building for the Connecticut Industrial School, and speaks of our missionaries who are now carrying on the school in temporary quarters until the new building is completed, as follows: “These ladies are engaged in a work which commends itself to all classes of our citizens. They will receive, as they should, every encouragement and courtesy at the hands of the people of Thomasville.” * * * * * They had a good time at Fisk University, Thanksgiving Day. Sermon by Prof. Bennett in the forenoon, athletic sports on the campus in the afternoon, and a praise meeting in charge of Pres. Cravath in the evening. Dr. Cravath spoke of the university as a family in connection with the thought that family reunions were the characteristic form of observing the Thanksgiving anniversary. Testimony of personal reasons for thankfulness were given both by teachers and students. One was thankful that after having been twelve years in the university he had at length been led to give himself to the Lord; another, a newcomer, that the way had been opened for him to come to Fisk, where he had been received as a child into the family; some for hardships and trials endured, others for what Fisk University had been to them and had done for them. A very fitting and enjoyable observance of the day this was, certainly. * * * * * There are 8,000 liquor saloons in the city of New York. Last year they paid for licenses $600,000. This money, strange to say, is divided up among charitable and reform institutions in the city. Saloon keepers pay $600,000 for protection by law, while they carry shame, sorrow and ruin to tens of thousands of their fellow-beings. Surely the American Missionary Association ought to receive the $350,000 asked from the churches, as it tries to carry the Gospel to twelve millions of the most neglected and ignorant of our American population. * * * * * OUR ROLL OF HONOR. According to custom, we publish this month a list of our mission stations and the names of the missionaries. It furnishes a fruitful field in which to glean valuable information. A glance at it shows the magnitude of our work. There are 215 stations, in charge of 422 workers. Each station is a centre at which mission work is organized for all the region round about. To him who scans it carefully the list reveals the variety of the work. It is both evangelistic and educational. Church planting and building; Sunday-school work; primary, normal, industrial, collegiate and professional training, are all represented, because the people need to be instructed in everything secular, social and religious, that pertains to civilized life and well-ordered society.
