Overview

"The American Missionary — Volume 32, No. 05, May, 1878" by Various is a periodical publication and religious journal written in the late 19th century. This issue focuses on the work of the American Missionary Association (AMA), detailing their efforts towards the education and upliftment of marginalized communities, particularly freedmen, Native Americans, and Chinese immigrants in America. The content provides insights on various educational and missionary initiatives undertaken by the association and the significant challenges they face. The opening of this volume sets the stage for discussions relevant to the AMA's ongoing efforts, including requests for more female missionaries to assist in the South, reports on finances, updates from various mission fields, and calls for aid in supporting education for marginalized groups. It highlights the work being done in schools and churches, such as Tougaloo University and the church initiatives in Virginia and Georgia. Additionally, it touches on the broader social issues present in these communities, including poverty, the need for moral education, and the vital role of temperance initiatives. This establishes the magazine as an informative and advocacy platform for social reform and missionary outreach during this time. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
