These Notes seem to be a scrap-bag, or a sort of patch-work quilt, made up of bits gathered from different letters. Let me add one more as illustrating two things: first, the extreme self-denial of many who are contributing to the work of the A. M. A., and also as illustrating the high appreciation of this self-sacrifice on the part of those who are doing the work in the field. A teacher whose economy in traveling expenses had been so marked as to call for commendation, writes: “It seems to me that we are in honor bound to be more prudent in the use of A. M. A. money than in the use of our own. Some of the money given for the work in the South comes from very humble people. I have heard of a poor woman in ——, who earned her living by washing and scrubbing, yet saved out of her scanty earnings a half cent a day for the A. M. A. It would be a shame to any one to spend such money carelessly.” There are noble heroism and self-denial on both sides of the line which divides the two classes of those engaged in the work of the A. M. A. When the new Acts of the Apostles is written, it will include in its records not only the Pauls and Peters who have gone out into this great Southern field, but also the Tabithas “who are full of good works and alms-deeds which they do” in their own homes. * * * * * “Where is the New South?” I repeat the question asked by the editor of this magazine last month. Report just reaches us that Rev. W. A. Sinclair, while traveling with his bride, has been violently and brutally put out of a first-class railway coach and forced into a “smoker,” although he held a first-class ticket which he bought of the regularly appointed agent of the road. I do not know the circumstances connected with this new outrage, but I _do_ know Rev. Mr. Sinclair, and know him to be a quiet, unostentatious, unobtrusive Christian gentleman. There could have been no excuse for this outrage. The “New South,” evidently, is not on the railway trains in Georgia. * * * * * HOWARD UNIVERSITY THEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT. The Theological Department of Howard University, Washington, D.C., held its anniversary exercises on May 27th in the First Congregational Church, in which was assembled a large audience of colored and white people. Ten young men were graduated, four of whom made interesting addresses. One of these was a Bulgarian, who has also taken the medical course in the University, and will return to his country as a missionary. Each graduate received a Bible and a copy of Finney’s Autobiography. There were thirty-eight theological students this year, and these included yet another Bulgarian, who was converted under the missionaries of the American Board, and was driven from his country by persecution, but who hopes eventually to return thither.
