The American Missionary — Volume 37, No. 10, October, 1883

"The American Missionary — Volume 37, No. 10, October, 1883" by Various, is a nineteenth-century journal by the American Missionary Association that shines a light on their work with marginalized communities both in the United States and other countries, including Native Americans, African Americans, and immigrants. The volume addresses the important work being done by missionaries, the education they provide, and the church's role in tackling tough social problems. The journal starts by highlighting the American Missionary Association's annual meeting, celebrating how it renews commitment to their spiritual mission and other work. It also looks back on the many important contributions of people like Rev. Stephen R. Riggs, who dedicated his life to missionary work with Native Americans. This sets the stage for conversations about new educational programs, thoughts on race relations, and reports from different places where missionaries are hard at work, showing the ongoing push for social and spiritual growth among those who are often overlooked.
