Chapter II: Part 2

The Chinese Mission of the A.M.A. on the Pacific coast, under
the superintendence of Rev. W.C. Pond, D.D., is very efficient
and successful. Its thirteenth anniversary was held on Sunday
evening, December 9, in the First Congregational Church in San
Francisco, Prof. I.E. Dwinell presiding. The exercises by the
Chinese converts indicated remarkable proficiency in the English
language and in music, both in solos and choruses. Jee Gam, the
first convert, and now employed by the courts as an interpreter,
read an address on "The Congregational Association of Christian
Chinese," of such merit in thought and language, that some
doubted its originality, which, however, was vouched for by Dr.
Pond. The writer sketched its origin in 1871 and the progress of
the Association since, and said it had been the means of the
conversion of more than 700 Chinese, and that it designs to send
missionaries to China. It is self-supporting, though the
expenditures during the year have been $9,619.50, of which
$2,066 were for rent. Dr. Pond advocated the appointment of
itinerant preachers to labor with the Chinese in the moving
camps on the railroads. Rev. Dr. Barrows made a very effective
appeal for funds, and a collection was taken. Dr. Pond certainly
deserves great credit for his labors in this department, in
addition to the pastorate of Bethany Church in San Francisco, in
which there are a large number of Chinese.

We would suggest to all ladles connected with the auxiliaries of State Missionary Unions, that funds for the American Missionary Association be sent to us through the treasurers of the Union. Care, however, should be taken to designate the money as for the American Missionary Association, since _undesignated funds will not reach us_.

THE MOUNTAIN GIRLS.

But why the _girls_? Because the girls are immortal as well as the boys. Because the girls in their education have been neglected far more than the boys. Because the _girls_ are to be the _mothers_ of the next generation.

That they are immortal, and capable of becoming and doing much in this life would seem to be doubted even by their parents. The neglect of the girls in their physical, mental, moral, and religious education, is enough to draw pity even from the most stupid Christian.

Hundreds are put into field work from spring till autumn. They follow the mule and "bull tongue." They wield the heavy hoe, sprouting newly cleared land. They look after cattle on the ranges and the mountain swine, and if these are needed for meat, kill and dress them as a man would do. Said a woman the other day, "I wish I had as many dollars as I have alone killed and dressed hogs." With parents the _boy_ means a "heap" more than the _girl_. A boy can shoot deer and coon, fox and rabbit, can build cabins, can keep school, and "seems" be a doctor or go to Congress. With this impression, if anybody is clothed and sent to school, it is the _boy_, while as a rule, the girl is poorly clad and stays at home to do the boy's work, to make "craps," and grow up in ignorance. If in berry time they can get a few dimes to buy a calico dress and a pair of shoes, contentment settles over their faces. Aspirations for anything better they have not, for an avenue leading to a more hopeful life they have never dreamed of. To look into the future there is nothing sunny or bright. Illiterate, they marry young some poor fellow, and with no money they begin life, build their cabin home in the timber land, girdle a few acres of the stately trees of oak and chestnut, and there raise a family to take the same dark and gloomy view of life the parents have had.

Must this condition of things continue, among a people, too, who are all native born Americans, who have fair native abilities to become a power for good if trained in Christian schools?

_Is it not time a special_ effort be made for these _girls_? They are growing older. They will soon be the mothers of a new generation. With illiterate mothers what will that generation be? Just what the present generation now is. What will it be if these girls now growing up are brought into a school like ours at Pleasant Hill? Here, if there can be sufficient room and ample teaching force, they will be taught and trained in a practical knowledge of all the duties of life, especially in those of the household. If we educate and save the _girls_ we are using the very lever needed to lift these hopeless and neglected thousands living at our very doors, out of their degraded life and bring them into the light of the 19th century, and qualify them to take positions among the best women of the land.

The work for which I plead is full of encouragement and hope. It is not in Africa. It is within one or two days' ride of the largest and most wealthy churches of our country, those who love the Kingdom of Christ and have sent, and are still sending, their thousands of dollars to the ends of the earth, while these bright American girls are, by some strange oversight, neglected at our very doors.

The American Missionary Association has undertaken a noble work among them, and something has been accomplished, yet this good work has but just begun. The grey dawn has only cast a few signs of daylight over the mountains. To carry this work forward successfully in behalf of the neglected girls, there should be, in a great natural center of operations like Pleasant Hill, a spacious boarding hall with an industrial department and home, for those girls. It should not be stinted in size, but large, well-arranged, and well-equipped in all its departments from the primary upwards, where they can be taught everything a girl ought to learn, not only in books and in a Christian life, but taught to sew, knit, darn stockings, to make good bread, and keep house with order and neatness, and do everything needed to be done in a Christian home. If the _native girls_ can come from their cabin homes into such an institution and be thus thoroughly trained, the axe is then laid at the very root of the tree of a squalid life of illiteracy, and a life of Christian culture and hope comes in its place, where Christian mothers throw angelic brightness over their households, and families of children are trained to act well their part in this great and growing nation. The institution I suggest, and for which I must plead, should not only be large enough to accommodate girls near at hand, but from other neighboring States who stand in need of such a home and training. It should be a Bethel for these immortal waifs, a house of bread, so well provided for as to take the poorest who cannot pay a cent of their own expenses. On this base it will be doing the greatest and grandest work possible for the two millions and a half who are scattered as lost sheep over the mountains of our own land.
