The American Missionary — Volume 42, No. 04, April, 1888 by Various
"The American Missionary — Volume 42, No. 04, April, 1888" by Various is a historical publication edited by various contributors focusing on the efforts of the American Missionary Association (AMA) during the late 19th century. This edition is set against the backdrop of a post-Civil War America, where critical issues of race, education, and social reform are at the forefront. The content emphasizes the importance of missionary work in uplifting the African
American community and conveying Christian values and education. The opening of this volume presents an overview of the AMA's mission, highlighting their financial struggles and dependence on the generosity of supporters to fund their initiatives. Early sections discuss the educational needs in the South, particularly in mountain regions, as well as the work conducted in schools aimed at marginalized groups, including African Americans and Native Americans. The text also reflects on a recent loss within the organization, mourning the death of a significant figure, while advocating for more robust support and outreach to improve educational facilities and missionary efforts. Overall, the opening establishes a serious tone, focusing on the necessity and immense potential of missionary work in fostering societal change and providing education to underserved populations.
