The American Missionary — Volume 41, No. 10, October, 1887

"The American Missionary — Volume 41, No. 10, October 1887" by Various is a historical account published in the late 19th century. This periodical focuses on the activities and efforts of the American Missionary Association (A.M.A.), documenting its initiatives, challenges, and the ongoing missionary work among various communities in the United States, including African Americans, Native Americans, and Chinese immigrants. The likely topics of the issue include educational efforts, appeals for financial support, and discussions on legislative matters affecting these communities. The opening of the publication includes an editorial section that outlines financial concerns related to the Association's fiscal year ending, emphasizing a pressing need for donations to address a significant shortfall. It highlights examples of contributions from individuals, including young Native Americans who wish to support their community, as well as pleas for support from churches and communities to mitigate debts and expand missionary efforts. Additionally, the beginning touches on critical issues facing the A.M.A., notably legislative actions impacting education for African Americans and Indigenous peoples, and the importance of maintaining the use of native languages in educational settings to enhance learning effectiveness and cultural retention.
