The American Missionary -- Volume 32 No. 10 October 1878

This issue of The American Missionary continues to report on the American Missionary Associations (AMA) work in education evangelism and social upliftment particularly among African Americans in the South and Native American communities. Reports from mission schools emphasize the importance of education in fostering self-reliance with teachers detailing both the successes and struggles of their students. Financial hardships and resistance from segments of society remain significant obstacles but the resilience of educators and missionaries is evident throughout their accounts. The publication also explores the role of the church in addressing moral and social issues advocating for Christian values as a means of strengthening communities. Beyond education the issue discusses the broader challenges of racial discrimination economic instability and the slow progress of Reconstruction-era reforms. Firsthand testimonies illustrate the courage of both missionaries and the individuals they serve highlighting the transformative power of faith and knowledge. Editorials urge readers to support the AMAs mission through donations advocacy and personal involvement reinforcing the belief that social progress depends on a collective effort rooted in Christian duty. This issue serves as both an update on ongoing work and a passionate call for continued engagement in the fight for justice and equality.
