Special Number for Southern Mission Schools

ELDER S. N. HASKELL, who is attending an institute for colored workers at Huntsville, Ala., reports excellent progress being made there. Their new school building is nearing completion. Colored teachers who have labored hard, receiving small wages, entered enthusiastically into a plan to raise means to assist their Huntsville institution. It seemed to Elder Haskell—and rightly, no doubt—“that all heaven was interested in that little company of colored workers;” and he adds, “We felt that we would stand by them and do all we could to see an advance move made that would disappoint the enemy, and bring light to many darkened minds in this neglected field.” They have, therefore, arranged for a special number of the Bible Training School, the proceeds of which are to go to help build up the mission schools in the South, on the same general plan that help was provided Brother and Sister Burgess for India. This is a worthy enterprise, and many in the North should be glad to help on the good work.
