thorough study upon the work that is being done through the A.M.A.,
in the needy and destitute portions of our country. One young man who
spoke at the last meeting spent a portion of his vacation in studying
up the work among the Highlanders of the South, and gave the results
of his study at their meeting. And why should not this active society
of earnest young people be interested in the great work that is
being accomplished among other young people, painfully in want of
the advantages which those here enjoy? A prayer meeting pledge of the
Y.P.S.C.E., printed in the Sioux language by Indian boys at a Santee
school, is a most interesting evidence that this society is not
confined in its usefulness to any locality or race. A vigorous Society
is one of the elements of work in this Indian school, and a most
useful element. In a letter written by an Indian boy is the following:
"We have a Christian Endeavor Society here. I joined that society not
very long ago, and we have nice meetings on Saturday night. It does
make me feel good in those meetings. There are about thirty members
now." And so these Societies of New England in their prayers for, and
contributions to, the work of the American Missionary Association,
are clasping hands with the same societies among the Negroes, Mountain
people and Indians.

The "King's Daughters" are also a useful agency in the field work
of our Association. A little Indian girl writes interestingly of the
"King's Daughters" of whom she is one.
