Arrests of Christian teachers because they instruct a few white children under the same roof with colored children will not only call the attention of the Nation to the gross darkness which dwells in the minds of those who could make such an enactment, but it will bring about a public opinion which will hasten the progress of the State from its present low condition faster than almost any other agency.

The Hamilton Club has added the name of a colored man to the list of its members. It is the first of the leading men's social organizations in Chicago to abolish the color line.

Horse Needed.—A faithful minister in our mountain field has great need of a horse. He reaches half a dozen preaching-stations among these Highlanders, often going on foot. Fifty dollars would purchase him a good horse, and if any friend will respond to this appeal it will increase the efficiency of an earnest missionary very greatly. If a larger amount than this is received it will be expended in the work among these mountain people.
