missionary work for this class of the Southern whites, calls
for an emphasis even stronger than we could put on any
political conclusion. We pass this patriotic appeal along to
those who have the wealth that is seeking a worthy object on
which to expend itself. There are missionary societies whose
business it is to do this. For the Congregationalista, the
American Missionary Association will for a very moderate
amount establish a church and an academy in any one of a
hundred counties inhabited by these people, and what a man
with a million dollars to expend could do we hardly dare to

the same; for the Methodists, their Missionary Society; for
the Episcopalians, their board of Domestic Missions; for the
Baptists, their Home Mission Society; and so on for all the
religious bodies. But will not a goodly company of wealthy men
supplement what the churches are doing in their collections,
by large gifts for this special, most needy, most fruitful,
and we declare most neglected mission work of the nation?"
