Chapter 1: Introduction

1.15 The equation represents simple harmonic motion

1.16 (a) X is the amplitude of motion; (b) ߱ is the frequency at which the motion occurs
(c) ߶ is the phase between the motion and a pure sinusoid.
1.17 The phase angle is positive for simply harmonic motion. Thus the response lags a
pure sinusoid.
1.18 A particle has mass that is concentrated at a point. A rigid body has a distribution of
mass about the mass center.
1.19 A rigid body undergoes planar motion if (1) the path of its mass center lies in a plane
and (2) rotation occurs only about an axis perpendicular to the plane of motion of the mass
center.
1.20 The acceleration of a particle traveling in a circular path has a tangential component
that is the radius of the circle times the angular acceleration of the particle and a centripetal
acceleration which is directed toward the center of the circle which is the radius time the
square of the angular velocity.
1.21 An observer fixed at A observes, instantaneously that particle B is moving in a
circular path of radius ห‫ܚ‬஻/஻ ห about A.

1.22 It is applied to the FBD of the particle.

1.23 The effective forces for a rigid body undergoing planar motion are a force applied at the
mass center equal to ‫܉‬ത and a moment equal to ߙ‫ܫ‬.
1.24 The two terms of the kinetic energy of a rigid body undergoing planar motion are
ଵ ଵ
ଶ
‫ݒ‬ଶ , the translational kinetic energy, and ଶ߱‫ܫ‬ଶ , the rotational kinetic energy.

1.25 The principle of impulse and momentum states that a body’s momentum (linear or
angular) momentum at ‫ݐ‬ଵ plus the external impulses applied to the body (linear or angular)
between ‫ݐ‬ଵ and ‫ݐ‬ଶ is equal to the system’s momentum (linear or angular) at ‫ݐ‬ଶ .
1.26 One, let ߠ be the angular rotation of the bar, measured positive counterclockwise,
from the system’s equilibrium position.

1.27 Four, let ‫ݔ‬ଵ be the absolute displacement of the cart, ‫ݔ‬ଶ the displacement of the
leftmost block relative to the cart, ‫ݔ‬ଷ the displacement of the rightmost block away from
the cart and ߠ the counterclockwise angular rotation of the bar.

1.28 Four, let ‫ݔ‬ଵ represent the displacement of the center of the disk to the right, ‫ݔ‬ଶ the
downward displacement of the hanging mass, ‫ݔ‬ଷ the displacement of the sliding mass to
the left and ߠ the counterclockwise angular rotation of the rightmost pulley.

1.29 Two, let ߠ be clockwise the angular displacement of the bar and x the downward
displacement of the hanging mass.

1.30 Three, let x be the downward displacement of the middle of the upper bar, ߠ its
clockwise angular rotation and ߶ the clockwise angular rotation of the lower bar.

1.31 Three, let ߠ represent the clockwise angular rotation of the leftmost disk, ߶ the
clockwise angular rotation of the rightmost disk and x the upward displacement of the
leftmost hanging mass.
1.32 Infinite, let x be a coordinate measured along the neutral axis of the beam measured
for the fixed support. Then the displacement is a continuous function of x and t, w(x,t).

1.33 Three, let ‫ݔ‬ଵ be the downward displacement of the hand, ‫ݔ‬ଶ the downward
displacement of the palm and ‫ݔ‬ଷ the displacement of the fingers.

1.3 At the instant shown in Figure P1.3, the slender

rod has a clockwise angular velocity of 5 rad/sec and a
counterclockwise angular acceleration of 14 rad/sec2.
At the instant shown, determine (a) the velocity of point

Given: ω = 5 rad/sec, α = 14 rad/sec2, θ = 10°

Find: ‫ݒ‬஻ , aP

Solution: The particle at the pin support, call it O, is fixed. Hence its velocity and acceleration
are zero. Using the relative velocity and acceleration equations between two particles on a rigid

Alternate solution: The bar is rotating about a fixed point. Thus any point on the bar moves on
a circular arc about the point of support. The particle P has two components of acceleration,
one directed between P and O (the normal acceleration), and one tangent to the path of P whose
direction is determined using the right hand rule (the tangential component).

Chapter 1: Introduction

Problem 1.3 illustrates the use of the relative acceleration equation of rigid body kinetics.

1.4 At t = 0, a particle of mass 1.2 kg is traveling with a speed of 10 m/s that is increasing
at a rate of 0.5 m/s2. The local radius of curvature at this instant is 50 m. After the particle
travels 100 m, the radius of curvature of the particle's path is 50 m.
(a) What is the speed of the particle after it travels 100 m?
(b) What is the magnitude of the particle’s acceleration after it travels 100 m?
(c) How long does it take the particle to travel 100 m?
(d) What is the external force acting on the particle after it travels 100 m?

Given: m = 1.2 kg, v(t=0) = 10 m/s, dv/dt= 0.5 m/s2, and r = 25 m when s = 100 m
Find: (a) v when s = 100 m, (b) a when s = 3 m, (c) t when s = 3 m
Solution: Let s(t) be the displacement of the particle, measured from t = 0. The particle’s
velocity is
t
dv
t
v(t) = ∫ dt + v(0) = ∫ 0.5 dt = 0.5t +10
0 dt
0

By definition v=ds/dt. Thus the displacement of the particle is obtained as

t t
s(t) = ∫ v dt + s(0) = ∫ (0.5t +10) dt = 0.25t 2 +10t
0 0
When s = 100 m,

100 m = 0.25t 2 +10t ⇒ t = 8.28 s

(a) The velocity when s = 100 m is
v = 0.5(8.28) +10 = 14.14
m/s

(b) Since the particle is traveling along a curved path, its acceleration has two components:
a tangential component equal to the rate of change of the velocity

and a normal component directed toward the center of curvature

rotating component is as shown at t = 0. Determine the vertical
component of the acceleration of the rotating component.

Given: e, ω, x (t)
Find: ay
Solution: The particle of interest is on a component that moves
relative to the machine. From the relative acceleration equation,

aG = a M + aG M
where

a M = − &x&(t ) j

and

a G M = eω 2 (− cos θi − sin θj)

Since the angular velocity of the rotating component is constant and θ = 0 when t = 0,
θ =ωt

Hence the vertical acceleration of the center of mass of the rotating component is

Problem 1.5 illustrates application of the relative acceleration equation. Vibrations of

machines subject to a rotating unbalance are considered in Chapter 4.

1.6 The rotor of Figure P1.6 consists of a disk mounted

on a shaft. Unfortunately, the disk is unbalanced, and
the center of mass is a distance e from the center of the
shaft. As the disk rotates, this causes a phenomena
called “whirl”, where the disk bows. Let r be the
instantaneous distance from the center of the shaft to
the original axis of the shaft and ߠ be the angle made
by a given radius with the horizontal. Determine the
acceleration of the mass center of the disk.
Given: e, r

Find:

Solution: The position vector from the origin to the center of the disk is ‫ݎ‬஻ where r varies
with time. The mass center moves in a circular path about the center of the disk. The
relative acceleration equation gives

1.8 The contour of a bumpy road is approximated by y(x) = 0.03 sin(0.125x) m. What is the
amplitude of the vertical acceleration of the wheels of an automobile as it travels over this
road at a constant horizontal speed of 40 m/s?

Chapter 1: Introduction

Given: y(x) = 0.03sin(0.125x) m, v = 40 m/s

Find: A
Solution: Since the vehicle is traveling at a constant horizontal speed its horizontal distance
traveled in a time t is x = vt. Thus the vertical displacement of the vehicle is

y(t) = 0.03sin [0.125(40t)] = 0.03sin(5t) m

The vertical velocity and acceleration of the vehicle are calculated as

v(t) = 0.03(5) cos(5t) = 0.15cos(5t) m/s

a(t) = −0.15(5)sin(5t) = −0.75sin(5t) m/s 2

Thus the amplitude of acceleration is A=0.75 m/s2.

Problem 1.8 illustrates the relationship between displacement, velocity, and acceleration
for the motion of a particle.

1.9 The helicopter of Figure P1.9 has a horizontal speed of 110 ft/s and a horizontal
acceleration of 3.1 ft/s2. The main blades rotate at a constant speed of 135 rpm. At the instant
shown, determine the velocity and acceleration of particle A.

Given: vh = 110 ft/s, ah=3ft/s2, ω = 135 rpm = 14.1 rad/s, r = 2.1 ft

Find: vA, aA

Solution: Construct a x-y coordinate system in the horizontal plane

As illustrated. Using this coordinate system
v = −110i ft/s, a = −3i ft/s 2

The position vector of A relative to the helicopter at this instant is

rA / h = r [cos(π / 4)i − sin(π / 4)j] = 1.48i − 1.48j

The relative velocity equation is used to determine the velocity of particle A as

v A = v h + ωk × rA / h
v A = −110i +14.1k × (1.48i −1.48j)
v A = −89.1i + 20.9j ft/s

The relative acceleration equation is used to determine the acceleration of particle A as

a A = −3.1i + 14.1k × (20.87i + 20.87j)
a A = −297.4i + 294.6j ft/s 2

Problem 1.9 illustrates the use of the relative velocity and relative acceleration equations.

 SALUTATIONS.
We extend to our friends the salutations of the season, and rejoice
that we can do it with more of gratitude and hopefulness than we
have been privileged to do for many years. Like Bunyan’s Pilgrim, we
have passed through the Slough of Despond, and the heavy load of
Debt has fallen from our shoulders; but, as in the case of the
Pilgrim, this is no signal to us, or our friends, for rest in the Arbor,
but for addressing ourselves to the real Christian life-work before us.
1. In this we have many things to encourage us:
(1.) The renewed prosperity of the country puts it into the hands of
our friends to aid us in the needed enlargement of the work before
us. We are grateful for the help given in the dark days of business
stagnation, and we hope that with the reviving industry and
commercial activity, gratitude to God and love for His cause will
stimulate the friends of the poor to increased liberality.
(2.) There is a more full realization of the importance of our work.
Never before since the war has the North so well understood that
the only real solution of the Southern problem is in the intelligence
and real piety of the Freedmen. Every day’s developments make this
the more plain. In like manner the rights and wrongs of the Indian
never forced him upon public attention with a more imperative
demand for answer. So, too, the right of the Chinaman to a home and
legal protection on the Pacific coast, has never become more clearly
defined or more intelligently recognized. Constitutional enactments
and hoodlum mobs have only set forth his wrongs more sharply and
made our duty more plain. Africa looms up with more distinctness as
a field of Christian labor. Not only triumphant exploration and
crowding missionary enterprises stir the Christian heart, but the very
difficulties and disasters arouse new zeal. Our hopeful endeavors to
introduce the colored man of America as a missionary to the land of
his fathers adds a new element of hope and activity.
(3.) The most encouraging outlook before us, however, is in the
deeper spiritual and prayerful interest which our work awakens.
Among other signs of this fact are the aroused attention of the
praying women of the North to the woes and wants of the colored
women and girls in the South, the increasing volume of prayer going
up from the churches of the North for Africa, and the prayer and
consecration awakened in its behalf among the colored people of the
South. But above all, we believe that the followers of Christ are
coming to realize that in this whole range of work it is only in the
Divine arm that effectual help can be found.
2. We have a great work before us.
(1.) In our own special field we have the urgent call to make the
repairs and improvements which we were compelled to refuse when
in our great struggle for the payment of the debt. These can no
longer be denied, in some cases, without sacrificing the health of the
missionaries and teachers, as well as the progress of the work.
(2.) The call for enlargement confronts us on all sides. We cannot
meet the demand in the public mind at the North if we stand still,
and still less can we meet that of overcrowded schools and for new
churches in the South. We refer our readers to the following article
for some stirring details on this subject.
(3.) Our friends need to be on their guard against one incidental
drawback. The Presidential election occurs this year, and the
experience of this, and all other missionary societies, shows that
such years mark diminished receipts. We can only say to our friends:
Do your duty at the ballot-box, but do not forget the contribution-
box and the prayer for missions!
 OUR ENLARGED WORK.
We have been saying for a long time, when we are free from debt
we will do more work, and now that we are free, we have felt
constrained at once to begin the fulfillment of that promise. The
great question is to find the just mean between cowardice and
rashness. No organization like ours can say, we will never spend a
cent that we have not in our treasury, for we have to make
engagements amounting to many times the sum at our present
command. We must follow the leadings of Providence not only, but
its indications, and rely on God’s people to sustain us in our
anticipations of what they will do.
In our Salutation to our friends, we spoke of the call for the
enlargement of our work that confronts us on all sides. During the
struggle of the past few years for the payment of our debt, we could
have but one answer for the pressing appeals that came to us for
more room and better accommodations—an answer which was hard
to give and hard to receive, for those who saw so clearly the great
good that would result from a comparatively slight expenditure of
money.
But now that the debt is paid, our friends must tell us whether we
can venture to make a different and more cheering answer to our
appeals. These appeals are coming to us from Mississippi, Louisiana,
Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, &c., as may be seen by noticing
the “Items from the Field,” in this number of the Missionary. These
items were taken without any special reference to this article, and
surprise us, as we glance over them, by the needs which they
disclose.
In addition to these, we give just here a few extracts from letters
not quoted in our “Items.”
One teacher writes:
 “Our school opened with a rush. It reminded me of the time
when I used to attend lectures at L—. A crowd would assemble,
and as soon as the doors were opened they would press in,
each intent on the best seat. So it was in my schoolroom, each
parent striving to get the first chance to enter his child or
children; and ever since the opening, I have had to turn away
applicants, though they begged with tears to be admitted.”

Another:

“If our number increases this year in the same proportion as

two years ago, in February we shall have 121 boarders; if the
same proportion as last year, we shall have 134. We can not
find room for any such number. From present prospects we shall
reach that number. If anything is going to be done by way of
enlarging this year, we ought to order lumber immediately.”

And in a subsequent letter:

“We have more young women boarding than we have had at

any time before since I have been here, and several others have
engaged rooms. Every room in the Ladies’ Hall is filled. Two
rooms have four in them. Miss E. expects to arrange beds in the
sitting-room. We cannot put four into our 10 x 14 rooms. The
new scholars this fall have mostly come from schools that have
been taught by our pupils, and have been able to go into the
Preparatory Department.”

Still another:

“Something must be done for our relief at once. We are

overrunning full.”

From another the story is:

“I wonder if all your stations have such increasing wants as this

one has! We trust that our request for another teacher is
 honored by an appointment. We intimated that our wants would
still increase. This is verified. The question now before us is this:
How much enlargement of this work can you make? Are your
means equal to the demand? Now, we wish that our building
were larger by two rooms; especially so, since many tell us that
a large number are planning to begin school after Christmas.
We submit very earnestly the proposal that we be authorized to
rent a building that is contiguous to our grounds, and that you
send a sixth teacher to occupy it. If we do thorough work this
year, the demand another year will require a permanent
enlargement of room. We unite in the most earnest wish that
you not only send us the fifth teacher, but also the sixth.”

We have already appropriated several thousand dollars more than in

previous years upon the Southern field, and that mainly in the work
of Christian education. If our readers only knew the many things we
have not done, they would count the expansion to be very little.
Among other things, as was indicated in the Annual Report, and as is
set forth more explicitly elsewhere, we have enlarged our Indian
work, not in the far West, but in Virginia. We have allowed
something more for the foreign field, and added a few hundred
dollars for the Chinese Mission in California.
Our friends will have the satisfaction this year of knowing that their
gifts all go to do the work which presses now; no more is needed to
fill up the hollows of the land through which we travelled long ago.
They must not fail us, then, who have helped us in our distress; but
much more, stand by us, now that they have enabled us to give
ourselves wholly to the wants to be met and to the work in hand.
 PROFESSOR CHASE IN AFRICA.
It has for some months seemed desirable to the Executive
Committee that an experienced man, in the carefulness of whose
inspection and the calmness of whose judgment they might fully
rely, should go to see for them, with his own eyes, the field on the
West Coast of Africa, the missionary band, and the work it is doing.
The great difficulty has been to lay hands upon a man who should
unite with the qualifications required the willingness and the ability
to go. That obstacle has given way at last, and an embassy is on the
way.
Prof. Thomas N. Chase had been detailed from his duties as an
instructor in Greek at Atlanta, where his eminent abilities have been
most fully proved by the annual examinations of his classes, and
where his presence has been valued for his manifold service, for
special duties in superintending the plans and erection of buildings in
the Southern field. Some important preliminary work had been
accomplished in that direction, when it was found that the money
which was anticipated for this purpose would not be at the disposal
of the Association for some months. Prof. Chase being thus open to
our call, and being the man of all men we should have chosen for
this post, the proposal was made to him that he should take this trip
to the Mendi Mission, and inspect the work. After some hesitation,
but with much less than was anticipated, and regarding the
circumstances and the call as of the Lord, he consented, with the full
agreement in his decision of his excellent and devoted wife.
On the sixth of December he sailed from New York for Liverpool,
expecting to take the steamer thence to Freetown on the twentieth
of December, and to be in the field at Good Hope by the middle of
January. He is accompanied by the Rev. Joseph E. Smith, a graduate
of Atlanta, who has been for three years in charge of important
churches in the South, and in whom we have every reason to place
the highest confidence. Mr. Smith will, we hope, conclude to remain
with the mission, although that matter is left to his decision. We
believe that he will do what he thinks the Master wishes. Meanwhile
he will do good service as a companion of Prof. Chase, to care for
him and aid him in the accomplishment of his work.
Important questions as to the permanent location of the stations,
the distribution of the work among the missionaries, and their more
complete equipment will be decided, and with the Lord’s blessing on
them we hope for results of lasting value from this embassy.
It is just the time of the year when such a mission can most safely
and effectively be prosecuted. They will reach the country and have
three mouths of the dry season, if so long a time shall be needed,
before it will be necessary that they should come away. They realize,
as we do, that there is always some peril in going to the West Coast,
especially for a white man; but the professor is in his prime, of
sound health, and we believe will be so prudent in all matters of
exposure and of living that we have no great fears for him. And yet,
when we remember those who have fallen, we pray the Lord, and
beg all the friends of Africa to join with us in the prayer, that He will
keep these His servants from harm, will prosper them in their
mission and bring them back in health.
 OUR INDIAN BOYS AT HAMPTON.
The Association has, after conference with General Armstrong,
decided to make appropriations to aid the Indian work at Hampton
as follows: (1.) It agrees to pay the salary of a teacher, whose time
is wholly devoted to this work, and whose enthusiasm and success
in it no one who attended the last commencement can have failed to
remember. (2.) It will support these three boys: James Murie, a
Pawnee from the Indian Territory, a bright boy, who is now in the
Preparatory Department, and will be able to enter the Junior Class
next year; Jonathan Heustice, a Pawnee with some colored blood,
apparently a very good boy; and Alexander Peters, a Menomonee
from Wisconsin, who comes well recommended by his teachers, and
is proving an interesting scholar. (3.) It will clothe the eight boys
from Fort Berthold Agency, sent by the Government last year, and for
whose support it is mainly responsible. The total expense will be
$1,450. We shall be very glad to receive contributions to this work,
or for any of these boys in particular, from those who are specially
interested in this new work of educating Indian boys in our colored
schools. The success of the effort has been so marked, that we no
longer look on it as an experiment. It is the application to this class
of the same principle on which we believe the solution of the great
problem of negro citizenship depends. Let us educate the teachers
and the leaders for these races, keeping them constantly surrounded
by the most elevating Christian influences, and they will have great
power in lifting up the masses, who must be taught and
Christianized at home.

The news of the destruction of Academic Hall at Hampton, has

reached the friends of that Institution long ere this. The origin of the
fire is unknown; it was discovered in the attic, and was already
beyond control. In a couple of hours all was over. An insurance
amounting to about three-quarters of the expense incurred in
building will, in the lower prices now prevailing, replace it to a great
extent. Still it is a severe loss.
The value of the excellent organization of the school was made
apparent in the perfect order which prevailed. The honesty and
loyalty of the students were thoroughly tested and triumphantly
proved. Only a single day of school work was lost. About $3,000 will
replace the loss on apparatus, furniture, library, &c. The students
lost about $1,200 of personal property. We trust that the friends of
Hampton—and they are many—will come generously and promptly
to its relief.

Our Sunday-schools are in great need of special helps for their work,
and that of all sorts: books for the library and for the service of
song; Sunday-school banners, maps and every thing of the kind. Are
there not Sunday-schools who have such material they have
outgrown or laid aside, and which they can send to us for the dark-
skinned children of the South?
 SATISFIED.
He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied.—There
are many motives which combine to urge the disciples of Christ to
energy and fidelity in the missionary work: the wretchedness of
those who lie in the darkness of heathendom, and especially in the
black night of savage superstition; the wrongs and crimes which the
introduction of a Christian civilization would in time efface; our sad
anticipations for those on whom we must believe the Lord will look
with merciful and just consideration, and yet who are surely not fit
for the kingdom of God. The fact of the command of Christ were
enough, and especially that this was His last and parting charge.
But, amid all these, is there a motive so sweet and still so energizing
as that which we have written above—that in the contemplation of
His salvation accomplished among men, the joy of our Lord shall be
full, the purpose of His love attained, and He content to have
endured the flesh and the cross? If we love Him because He first
loved us, let us remember that His love was not a sentiment, but a
sacrifice; that it was measured by what He did for us, and for our
salvation; and that it is the sacred claim of His love upon ours, that
what sacrifice by us of time, or strength, or means, or life itself, may
contribute to the fullness of His joy, to the completeness of His
satisfaction, we should give with cheerful and continuous readiness.
Other motives may bear upon us with now greater and now less
force; special calls may be heard with more or less distinctness;
unusual disclosures of need may make us eager to relieve; but
through all, and under all, and greater than all, is this, that we may
please our Lord, and contribute somewhat to the completeness of
His redemption, and to His satisfaction in the result of all that He has
borne and done for sinful men.
 ITEMS FROM THE FIELD.
Talladega, Ala.—The Southern Industrial Association held its second
annual fair at Talladega, Ala., November 11-14. This Association is
officered in part and largely helped by Talladega College, and its
object is to promote the industry and physical good of the
Freedmen. The weather was favorable, the attendance was large,
many coming quite a distance, and the display of articles was
unusually good. In agricultural and garden products, in fancy
articles, in needlework, both plain and ornamental, and in the
culinary department, especial excellence was shown. The exhibition
of stock was meagre, with the exception of fowls, which were
numerous and remarkably fine. Some blacksmith’s hammers, tables,
and an upholstered chair, would compare well with similar
productions from the best Northern workmen. More than seven
hundred entries were made, and the premiums awarded were worth
about three hundred dollars. The fair stimulates industry, and marks
a real advance in the condition of the people. Many of our white
friends paid well-deserved praise, and one late slaveholder, said to
have owned nearly a hundred negroes, was so pleased as to make a
cash contribution to the treasury, and offered to double it should
there be a deficit. On the last evening, the College chapel was full to
overflowing, while Rev. C. L. Harris, of Selma, gave a very bold and
moving and powerful address of more than an hour in length, on the
African in America. The address showed what an African can do, and
it pointed out what an African should become. Take it all in all, the
Fair marks a good step upward and gives fresh hope for the future.

McLeansville, N. C.—Our school is growing larger—double what it was

at the corresponding time last year. Many expect to come after
Christmas from abroad. Must enlarge our accommodations.
Tougaloo, Miss.—We now have seventy-nine boarders, and have had
to go into the barracks again. A prospect of increased attendance,
and what to do with the students we can none of us imagine. We
ought to enlarge our accommodations immediately.

Mobile, Ala.—School overflowing. If we have room and teaching

force enough, we shall have three hundred in attendance by
February 1st. Without increased room and help we shall be obliged
to turn away many that would enter the intermediate and normal
departments. We have already begun this at the primary door.

Atlanta, Ga.—Mr. A. W. Farnham, late principal of Avery Institute, has

become principal of the Normal department of the University, to
assist in making the best teachers possible for that region.

Fisk University.—The number of pupils is rapidly increasing, and there

is a prospect that the students will be too many or the
accommodations too few.

Woodville, Ga.—Our school is crowded. If you had not built the

parsonage, the pupils could not have been accommodated. You have
done a great deal of good for the people at this place. Almost every
day, children are refused admittance, because we are so full. The
only hope of our church, so far as I can see, is in the children
educated in our schools.

New Orleans, La.—“I wish you could have heard some of the
expressions of gratitude to the A. M. A. in our services during your
Annual Meeting in Chicago. The church observed the day by
remembering the Association in their Tuesday evening prayer
meeting.”
Marion, Ala.—In one envelope yesterday, the collection being for the
A. M. A., was $5 from a hard-working man, this being one-tenth of
the man’s crop—one bale of cotton, which brought $30—showing
that your work for this people is not wholly unappreciated. We made
the A. M. A. a special subject of prayer at our church meeting last
week. Sixty-three at Sunday-school yesterday. Boys’ meeting at the
Home fully attended. We have had a “reception” at the Home—all
our people, men, women and children, including babies. We only
want the special influences of the Holy Spirit.

Florence, Ala.—On the Sabbath, November 23d, a new church edifice

was dedicated at this place. Pastor Wm. H. Ash was assisted by Field
Superintendent Roy; by student Anderson, from Fisk University, who
had preached for the church the year before Mr. Ash came; by the
Presbyterian pastor, who offered the prayer of dedication; and by the
M. E. South Presiding Elder. Fifty of the best white citizens of the
place were present; among them, besides the ministers named, two
other Methodist preachers, ex-Governor Patton and four lawyers.
These friends contributed freely to the balance needed ($70) to put
in the pulpit and pews, which had not yet been secured. It was all
raised in a few minutes after the sermon. The house is spoken of by
the citizens as the only modern church in the place. It is indeed a
gem. It is twenty-five by forty feet, with a brick foundation, a steep
roof and a little belfry. It is well painted on the outside, and on the
inside ceiled in varnished yellow pine. The total cost was $950. It
was built with great economy under the supervision of Mr. Ash.
“Howard,” of Boston, is a man who knows how to make fine
investments in this line, as several of his ventures of this kind have
proved. To his $300, the Central Congregational Church, of
Providence, R. I., to which Mr. Ash belongs, added $100. One year
ago, more than twenty of the influential and well-to-do members of
this church removed to Kansas, else so much of aid would not have
been needed. We learn that those people are highly respected in the
communities where they have settled. Pastor Ash and his educated
