"Yes, you have, my boy," answered Miss Hill. "You have red, white,
black, and yellow brothers, and this 'A.M.A.' is to help them to read, to work on the farm and in the house, to learn trades, and to know the best things. Your black brothers are the negroes who live in all the South, the yellow are the Chinese in California, the red are the Indians in the Territories, in the schools of Hampton, and the whites are in the mountains of Kentucky and Tennessee. All these little books that I will show you tell about these brothers and sisters. Now read the card. Read it all. THE A.M.A. "TRUE BLUE" CARD. SPACED FOR COLLECTING FIVE CENTS. For each five cents collected, prick a hole with a pin in one of the squares below--each space representing that sum. Letters from the "Children's Missionary" will be sent to each collector upon returning the card with amount of collection--not less than Five Dollars. Six of these cards will entitle the collector to a Life Membership in _The American Missionary Association_. "GATHER UP THE FRAGMENTS, THAT NOTHING BE LOST." [Following this is a large square containing one hundred small squares, which are the ones to be pricked.] |
