THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION has been working twenty years for the African race. Since the beginning of the Rebellion it has turned special attention to the Freedmen. It has now over 300 Teachers and Missionaries among them. Whatever a wise Christian benevolence prompts in their behalf, by way of Schools, Orphan Homes, Relief for the suffering, and direct religious effort, the Association undertakes, to the full extent of the means furnished by the friends of the colored people.
