BISHOP HAYGOOD.--The recent death of Atticus G. Haygood of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South has removed a very useful man from
among those who are conscientiously engaged in the uplifting of the
colored people and in promoting harmony between the two races in the
South. In the writing of his books and his numerous articles for the
press, in his conscientious administration of the Slater Fund and in his
work as Bishop, he has rendered a permanent benefit to his church and
the country.
PAMPHLETS AND ADDRESSES.
Since the publication, in a recent number of THE MISSIONARY, of
the list of the documents ready for distribution on application of our
friends, we add the following:
Annual Report of the Association.
Sermon by Rev. WM. HAYES WARD, D.D., "Instead of thy Fathers
shall be thy Children."
Citizenship and Christianity, by Rev. SHERROD SOULE.
The Debt of Our Country to the American Highlanders During the
War, by Secretary C. J. RYDER. (Reprint, illustrated.)
"GREAT TRUTHS SIMPLY TOLD" is the title of a most excellent
little book compiled by Prof. George L. Wood, of Philadelphia. A special
fund has been contributed by a friend interested in the circulation of
this useful little volume, which makes it possible for us to offer to
our missionaries a limited number, if they will write asking for the
same. We are very glad to be able in this way to give a wider
circulation to this valuable book, which will prove useful in teaching
Christian truth.
INCREASED GIFTS.--We are glad to learn that the Prospect Hill
Church, Somerville, Mass., of which Rev. E. S. Tead is pastor, have just
added 65 per cent. to their gifts of last year to our work. The Grace
Church of South Framingham, of which Rev. F. E. Emrich is pastor, have
also increased their gifts by about $200 over last year.
"HOSANNA"--"CRUCIFY."
On an ever-memorable day, the Son of Man rode into Jerusalem. A vast
multitude of people thronged the streets and cast their garments and
palm branches before Him, and with unbounded enthusiasm cried "Hosanna
in the highest!" But only a few days later that same multitude, as cruel
as they were fickle, followed the Son of Man with the fiendish cry
"Crucify him! crucify him!" ceasing not until he hung on the cross, and
then they taunted him with sneers and mockings.
The followers of the Son of Man are sometimes called in their measure to
pass through almost similar circumstances changing from the highest
praise to the bitterest denunciation. Dr. Theodore L. Cuyler, that grand
old man, who surpasses all others of this generation in his knowledge of
the great men of his times and in his accurate and vivid descriptions of
them, has given, in a recent article in _The Evangelist_, a striking
sketch of some of the prominent clergymen and laymen of this city two
generations past:
