ry of this
wonderful movement among the red people of the prairie with more
simple and earnest eloquence than did Miss Dodge.

Rev. W. G. Olinger, a native mountaineer, presented the work "Among
the American Highlanders." Born in the humble cabin of the
mountaineer, stirred from his earliest boyhood with the great desire
for education and improvement, he struggled up through great
discouragements, until to-day he can stand on any platform with
interest to those who hear and with honor to himself. His manly
presence is the illustration of the wonderful possibilities of these
mountaineers; and his story is their agonizing cry for the light and
opportunities which only an intelligent gospel and educational
privileges such as the American Missionary Association is bringing,
can satisfy.

The secretary, who had charge of the campaign, presented "The Claims
of the American Missionary Association on this Jubilee Year."

The immediate results of this series of Jubilee Field Days were most
encouraging. Nearly twenty thousand people gathered in the various
audiences. Lincoln Memorial Day, celebrated at Oberlin, was most
delightfully spent. Every service during the day, including
Sunday-school, Mission Circle, Endeavor Society, as well as church
services, was an American Missionary Association rally.

On the Sabbath large churches and towns were reached. During the week
important centers were selected, and many surrounding churches sent
pastors and delegates to the Jubilee Field Day services.

From a financial standpoint the result was also encouraging. More than
three times as much was gathered as the campaign cost, and pastors and
church members everywhere testified that the meetings were resultful
in spiritual uplift and blessing, as well as in stimulating interest
and greatly increased gifts.

The general feeling seemed to be that this was American Missionary
Association year, and that during this Jubilee season the specials
should float into this treasury and the regular contributions should
be greatly increased. While _en route_ the joyful message came to us
that the Board and the Home Missionary Society were both out of debt.
When announced from various pulpits by American Missionary Association
speakers, this glorious fact met with cordial applause. All the more
did it seem incumbent upon the churches to take hold of the American
Missionary Association, still burdened with its debt, and lift it out
of the slough of
