"The American Missionary — Volume 34, No. 1, January, 1880" by Various is a historical publication written in the late 19th century. This volume is a periodical produced by the American Missionary Association, focusing on the missionary efforts and educational initiatives aimed at various racial and ethnic groups in the United States, including Freedmen, Native Americans, and Chinese immigrants. It highlights the challenges, successes, and ongoing needs within these communities. The opening of this volume sets the stage with a message of optimism and renewal following a period of financial struggle for the Association. It discusses the importance of supporting educational efforts for Freedmen and the need for enlargement in missionary work to accommodate the increasing demand for education and church facilities. The text emphasizes calls for contributions and outlines specific examples of successful educational initiatives, such as the reports from various schools and the personal narratives of students and teachers dedicated to uplifting their communities. Overall, the beginning presents a compelling picture of the intersection of education, faith, and social progress during a crucial period in American history.
