TRIP SOUTH AND WEST.
INDIAN TEISKITOItV.
Going frnii) Sherman, Texas, to St. Joseph, Mo.,
I passed through tin* Indian Territory, and dined
nl our missionary station, Atoka. 1 sent my card
lo brother Morrow, anti Hied to talk to several In¬
dians. The church-house is a neat building, where
whites and Indians worship together. After leav¬
ing Atoka, tlie country becomes rolling, and a
Ion#
пшец
of swelling knolls covered with verdure
cheers the eye. This is succeeded by rugged lime¬
stone. hills. Then the landscape widens again into
Hie prairie, hounded by Hie dislant and blue hills,
Which is t|iiite picturesque. After that come tan¬
gled woods, lit for Indians lo live in. lint every-
Hiing may he seen except Indians '
KANSAS.
Here tlm black lauds appear once more, whither
the negroes of Hie South are pressing llioir way
hi blind fury. Fine orchards and neat villages are
seen in contrast willi the bareness of the Indian
territory. Ina few hours the thermo meter had
changed from 7»° to a point which covered the
ground with hoar frost and crisped the rivers with
ice. Not given to appetite, Lean say that the best
railroad meals I had in a mouth were in the Indian
Territory and Kansas. This far AVust is not a
waste, howling wilderness.
SI. Joseph, Mo.
The city is located on a number of bills, from
one of Hie highest of which I enjoyed a line view
of the meandering and ice-crusted Missouri, and
of the picturesque town ami surrounding country,
liov. Win. Harris, formerly of Louisville, Ky., met
me at Hie train, and conducted me to ids “Sweet
Home.” I preached at night to Ids people, and
talked next day to the young ladies of St. Joseph
Female College, over which l)r. Didin presides.
The Missionary Society of this Institution is a body
of noble young workers for Jesus, Brother Har¬
ris is “ the light man in the right place,” and has
everything at home and in the church to make him
a happy man.
Liberty.
I went from (lie cars to the church, where I ad¬
dressed tlm Woman’s Missionary Society, whoso
President, Mrs.
О.
1*. .Moss, is the embodiment of
Hie spirit of missions. The church is one of Hie
best givers In Hie State.
Г
sojourned with Dr.
ltoHiwell, Chairman of Faculty of William Jewell
College, whose students I had the honor of speak¬
ing to, after their chapel exercises. Tlm Faculty
are a corps of aide men and Christian gentlemen.
I hud the pleasure of visiting l)r. Chambliss, Sr.;
of dining with Mr. and Mrs. Moss; and of looking
again into the faces of my Madison University
friends, l’rof. Union and Dr. Richardson. Liberty
is a good place to send boys to, and for anybody
to visit.
Kansas City.
Arriving here amid the hustle of incoming and
outgoing I rains, tlie endless stream of passengers,
and the wilderness of luggage of every description
at- Hie Union Depot, the denizen of a quiet eastern
town like Richmond, Va., feels that he is in a now
world. Flfleen railroads enter below Hie city,
which is located on a lofty dill-, or on a series of
high hills, which overlooks tlie Kaw and Missouri
rivers, which unite near Hie city. In 1S05 tim pop¬
ulation was 11,000. it is now estimated at
ПО,
000.
Kents are said to lie higher than at St. Louis or
Chicago. The friend with whom 1 stayed paid §500
for property which is now worth §500 per foot.
Here is said to he. tlie largest “packing house ” in
the world. I preached. The pastor, Rev. J. 15.
Chambliss, bad an ill family, I was mad* a debtor
to tlie kindness of T. M. James. Esq. Kansas
City is a grand place.
IVestporl.
To this venerable town of some 1,000 people,
from which, in the olden times, as many as 2,000
wagon trains used to start for tlie western plains,
Kansas City was “the Landing.” The church
lie re was split on Hie communion question, but tlie
parts are lirnily united again. 1 talked missions,
and made several pleasant acquaintances, among
whom were lion. J. B. AVornall and family.
1’rof. Emerson, of AVilllam Jewell College, is tlie
strong bishop of AVcstport.
Lexington.
Here tlie venerable Dr. Tulbinl, a South Caro¬
lina» in birth and sentiment, is pastor. 1 spoke to
the Sabbath-school and preached twice, in tlm
afternoon I addressed tlie Missionary Society of
tlm Female College. It is a grand society of a
grand institution. Tlio young ladies handed to
me §S0 for our missions. 'The praise of Prof.
Fleet, tlm President, is on every tongue, and all la¬
ment that lie will soon quit Lexington to link ids
fate with tlie Greek chair of tlie State University
at Columbia, I met a number of charming A'ir-
giuiaus. The social part of my experience must
ho pretermitted, but will not be forgotten. “Mine
host” was F. M. Boyle, Esq. This city is the great
centre of Missouri Female Education, and the
“Missionary Society” of Fleet’s College is tlie
Banner College Society of the State.
Carrollton.
A temperance revival was in progress. I availed
myself of tlie opportunity of stating tlie fact,
which lias been scientilleally demonstrated, that
when tlm brain begins to bo perforated by alcohol
there is no possibility of tlm inebriate’s reforma¬
tion. L. B. Ely, Esq., is a power in tlie town and
State. I lodged with him and supped with his ex¬
cellent brother. The church edifice in which I pre¬
sented missions, is one of tlm prettiest in the State.
J. D. Murphy, 1). D., is the earnest pastor. Among
agreeable acquaintances wore Judge E. J. Broadus
and “little Mary Perkins,” who banded to me a
neatly sealed box, with a liberal contribution for
tlm heathen. God bless little Mary, and tlm whole
church.
Mexico.
1 was kindly welcomed here by brethren Guthrie
and Allison. The Methodist conference, presided
over by Bishop Andrews, being in session, we bad
a goodly number of black coats at our missionary
meeting. I talked to tlm young ladies of tlm Moral
Science Class of Hardin College, and beard them
talk on “ Prayer” to their professor, President
Terrill. From this institution, the Richmond Fe¬
male Institute received three of its teachers, the
Misses Hammer and .Aiiss Dustman. Their names
are. fresh and fragrant in Mexico. I was honored
by Airs. Gov. Hardin coming into town to dine
with ns. Airs. 11. is tlm intelligent, and active Vice-
President of Hie AVoman’s Missionary Society of
Missouri.
Jefferson City.
This old town, tlie Capital of tlie State, is sit¬
uated on a high hi n IT, which protects it from tlm
g^eat Missouri, whose rolling waters are naughtily
washing away Cedar City on tlm opposite bank.
1 spoke oil missions, received a collection as in all
tlm churches, called on tlie Governor, opened the
Senate witli prayer, and was introduced to a num¬
ber of members of both houses of the Legislature,
who were mostly Baptists, and had some “kin”
in tlm Old Dominion. Tim pastor of the church,
Rev. T. AV. Barrett, is a Christian gentleman of
decided character, intellectual and spiritual. 1 en¬
joyed his Intelligent, home. The city is mainly
German. This makes our brother's position not
“assoft as downy pillows are.” But lie under¬
stands that life is but a system of testing, and that
“ tlm fittest will survive.”
