♦Fiscal year only eleven months. FORTIETH ANNUAL MEETING

Held in Chicago, Illinois, April 25-27, 1911.

The fortieth annual meeting was held where the Board was organized in 1870, in the Second Presbyterian Church, Chicago. Tuesday was Westminster Guild Day and over 140 delegates from 8 different states, 49 cities and 66 chap­ ters assembled for the morning meeting. The session opened with the singing of a hymn and prayer by Mrs. Shaw. Mrs. Tyler gave a greeting and Miss Julia Johnston was introduced as the author of a song dedicated to the Guild. Mrs. D. E. Waid gave a survey of the work of the Home Board and spoke of the relation of the Guild to the growing needs at Haynes, Alaska. An outline of the life and work of Miss Ward, Miss McCune and Miss Ducret, Westminster Guild missionaries, was given by Miss De- Nise, and a conference led by Miss Rumsey closed the session. In the afternoon Mrs. Hardin talked helpfully of “ Things Most Worth While.” Messages from the field were given by Miss Julia Leavitt of Japan, Mrs. W- C. Johnston of Africa, Mrs. E. T. Allen, returning to Persia after an ab­ sence of fourteen years, and Mrs. Murray of Japan. Mrs. Grace Glenn Fox pictured the world without Christ and Robert E. Speer gave an uplifting address on “ The Great Thing Needful.” A “ Quiet Hour,” lead by Mrs. Charlotte Vickers, closed the Westminster Guild meeting. The feature of the evening session which opened the reg­ ular meeting of the Board and was presided over by Dr. John Balcom Shaw, was the address of Mr. Speer on “The Sufficiency of God for thu Missionary Enterprise,” an in­ spiration for all that followed. Mrs. Hardin led the devotional service Wednesday morn­ ing. Mrs. Forsyth, President Emeritus, greeted the dele­ gates and Mrs. W. E. Parsons responded. The report of the Nominating Committee was read by Mrs. Robinson and 10 Mrs. Coy introduced the new President, Mrs. John Balcom Shaw, who accepted the office in a few earnest words. The anniversary character of the meeting was brought out in a delightful paper by Mrs. William Blair and by the introduc­ tion of eight of those present at the first annual meeting, including the first missionary sent out by the Board, Miss Jennie Dean of Persia. The Treasurer, Mrs. Bradley, reported the receipts of the year, 12^ months, $143,066.96, a gain of $21,000 over last year. Since 1870 the receipts have been $2,851,901.00. The progress of the Jubilee movement, its climax in New York, our aim and the anticipated effects, were forcefully brought out by Mrs. King, Mrs. Silverthorn, Mrs. Campbell and Mrs. Tyler. Brief reports were given by the home secretaries and two telling addresses were made by Mrs. Van Hook of Persia and Mrs. Johnston of Africa, the one finding hope in the new desire of the Mohammedans for education, the other fearing the influence of Moslem teach­ ing if more Christian reinforcements are not sent soon. A spirited conference was led by Mrs. Campbell and encour­ aging reports were given by synodical secretaries. At the evening session Rev. A. J. McCartney presided and introduced the two missionary speakers, Rev. W. G. McClure of Siam and Rev. Chas. Clark of Korea, who spoke of recent progress in the two countries, the latter dwelling on the development of Christian character among the Koreans. On Thursday morning, after the devotional hour led by Mrs. Silverthorn, the foreign secretaries gave the most im­ portant news from their countries; the new Field Secretary, Mrs. Engstrom, offered her help to the societies, and Mrs. Clarke told of the work done in the office. Mrs. Murray of Japan pointed out the favorable and unfavorable conditions in that country, and Mr. Millikin presented the principles of Mission Study. In the afternoon the Young People’s Hour, led by. Miss Coulter, was divided between Baby Bands, Children’s So- cities, Christian Endeavor and Westminster Guild, leaders of each giving practical talks. The missionary address was given by Mrs. Swallen of Korea, who spoke especially of the Bible classes for women and the blessings of the “ mil­ lion campaign.” 11 “ Our Missionaries and Candidates” were tenderly greet­ ed and bidden Godspeed by Mrs. Tyler. Nine missionaries responded and five candidates out of the 26 appointed and 12 accepted by the Board this year. The former were Miss Dean, Persia; Miss Leavitt, Japan; Mrs. Johns,ton, Africa; Mrs. Hayes, China; Mrs. Murray, Japan; Mrs. Swallen, Korea; Mrs. Allen, Mrs. Van Hook and Mrs. Oldfather, Persia; the latter were Miss Roberta Brown, Mrs. McClanahan, Mrs. Wyckoff, Miss Peters and Miss Keach. The meeting closed with a communion service conducted by Dr. Shaw.

13 REPORT OF FOREIGN SECRETARIES*

AFRICA. The cry for more workers reaches us in more and more insistent tones and its pathos must disturb any one who hears it. The great Bulu tribe and their kindred, the Bene, press upon our missionaries with questionings, confessions, and professions of faith at every moment of the day; they crowd our schools and throng the churches. Between three and four hundred persons at a time inquire into the way of life after the Sunday services. They stop travellers and beg for the Word. Caravans halt their march to hear preaching and chiefs send for teachers for their villages. To meet this demand we have only one man at Elat, where the congregation runs regularly into thousands, and no white woman. At Efulen Miss Mackenzie was the only woman, and to make it possible for her to stay there Mrs. Schwab and Mrs. Lehman had to take turns leaving their husbands for three months at a time to stay with Miss Mackenzie. As there were only three doctors on the field for the six stations, Dr. Eva Hansen had to leave her work in Elat to go to Benito to care for Mrs. Ford, where there was no physician. Benito is in Spanish territory, and our school has been closed because we were unable to furnish a Span­ ish speaking teacher as the government requires, Dr. Pin: ney, the only member of our force who speaks Spanish, be­ ing on furlough. While the school was closed Dr. Eva Han­ sen and her husband, also a doctor, filled the boys’ dormi­ tory and the new hospital building with patients, paying special attention to surgery. Although many cases were in an advanced stage owing to neglect, the doctors treated them with great success. This new missionary has won the ad­ miration and love of her associates by the manner in which she has faced the difficulties of entirely new situations. Dr. Hansen reports an average of a thousand treatments a

♦Names of the Missionaries of Northwest Board are italicized. 13 month. Dr. Hansen and Dr. Eva Hansen expected to return to Elat the first of February. The Fang tribe are located about Benito and have been slow to respond to the missionaries’ efforts, but now they are waking up and are very eager to be taught. W e must have a Spanish speaking teacher. When Dr. Pirrney is there he is needed for medical work. Mr. and Mrs. Schwab were appointed to McLean for this year, but as has been said, Mrs. Schwab was obliged to be away for three months. Between the last of August and the twenty-third of November Mrs. Schwab travelled 160 miles on foot or bicycle through “ the bush.” She attended the Bible conference for native workers at Elat in October, the first ever held in Africa. Thus, although we have only had two missionaries to represent the Northwest Board in Africa, we have carried on work in four stations. W e may well be proud of our missionaries, but can hardly congratulate ourselves on the subject, as making one missionary do the work of two is neither according to the Golden Rule nor good policy. Several young women of great promise expect to go to Africa soon, but no physician has been found and we need three at once, also four ministers, and two men to teach industrial work. Our prayers for Africa should be of praise and thanks­ giving, our efforts should be given heart and soul to find­ ing these missionaries.

CHINA. Dr. Martin in the report of the Peking Station for 1910 says: “ To those who seek to plant the gospel in a country like China every movement of the great body must be a mat­ ter of deep concern. Thankful we ought to be that the spirit of reform is still dominant in the councils of the nation. The educational movement grows steadily in force and includes the emancipation of women, a measure which no social innovation ever dared to propose in ages past.” All the work of our own group of devoted missionaries is so associated with these great movements that to justly measure their work we must set it against its proper back­ ground, the changing national ideals of the people which 14 under God’s hand they have so largely been instrumental in bringing about;

NORTH CHINA MISSION. Miss Bessie McCoy is returning the last PEKING. of May to Peking* to again take up the work in the Kindergarten and Training school which have been so blessed by her faithful and devoted service during these nine years. Mrs. E. L. Johnson has another good year’s work to her credit. She has continued the children’s services on Sunday mornings and afternoons, the attendance Often reaching 150, and has carried on an evening class for women in the Harmony of the Gospels with the hope that these women may all in time become Bible workers. She has this year made a special effort to get into touch with the Chinese ladies of the official circle, and has opened her home to them on certain days of the week. She says, “Beside the regular routine of woman’s study classes, and calling in the homes, we have added a new feature to our work this year. The ladies of the churches are giving lectures for women only, on subjects that women of all lands are interested in, such as ‘Hygiene/ ‘Care of Children,’ ‘Enemies of the Home.’ We hope by these lectures to not only diffuse practical knowledge, but to break down conservatism and get an opening into the homes of the upper classes that we may ultimately get them interested in higher things.” Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Cunningham re- PAOTING-FU. turned to Peking after their furlough last May and were welcomed with such genuine expressions of love by their church members and the boys of Truth Hall that it was indeed a home coming to their hearts. For eight years they have had charge of Truth Hall but upon their return, Dr. Lowrie, who has been pastor of the Paoting-fu Memorial Church, having been called to a general oversight of all China stations, it was decided that Mr, Cunningham was most needed to fill that important post and consequently they have spent the year in charge of the church and out-stations of Paoting-fu. Mrs. Cunningham returned just in time to feel the “wave of new blessing and consecration and power of the Spirit” which was then beginning to sweep over China, as the result of the labors of Pastor Ding 15 Lee May, a graduate of the Presbyterian College at Wei- Hsien, the “ first Chinese evangelist to the unsaved.” Mrs. Cunningham has devoted herself with generous service to the interests of the women and children. There has been a special burden on her heart in regard to the older women, those to whom they must look for Bible women and in her classes for them through the year she has very deeply felt the need of some special place in which they may receive adequate training. While it is hard for us who have so long associated her with Truth Hall, to think of her in another field we re­ joice that these too, in that vast needy district are to have the inspiration of her love. After telling of the extreme poverty of the people and their willingness to endure hard conditions she says, “ God bless the China­ man ! He’s bound to win out in the end, and don’t for­ get the Chinawoman who is going to come to the front one of these days in a way that will astonish the world.” i EAST SHANTUNG MISSION. Mrs. W. C. Booth sends a most full and CHEFOO. interesting account of the ideals to which she and her husband have set themselves in the conduct of the Anglo-Chinese School, at Temple Hill. She says: “The chief purpose of the school, stated in a few words, is to prepare young men for college or business, giving them a first- class modern high school education, and seeking daily to present to them by teaching and by example a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.” Some of the results so far attained may be shown by the following facts: “Our graduates, the large majority of whom are Christians, occupy positions of trust in most of the Chefoo business firms, some are studying in colleges in Peking, Tientsin, Shanghai Nan­ king, and Canton, at least three in America and one in Scotland. As officials one has attained the rank of Chi-hien (county magis­ trate). The owner of one of the largest banks in Chefoo was also a- student in our school, though not a graduate. Another student spent three years in South Africa as preacher among the coolies tnat were in the gold mines.” ■ She tells of the quickened spiritual life which has come 'to the school as the result of Mr. Goforth’s meetings. Just now school and church are closed because of the plague 16 and after speaking of its dreadful ravages and of the very strict isolation they were observing Mrs. Booth, with that supreme faith which has carried our missionaries through so many ordeals, says: “ We are hoping and praying that God, who is all powerful, will stay this terrible plague and spare us all.” From Tsing-tau where Mr. .and. Mrs. TSING-TAU. Chas. E. Scott have labored so faithfully since 1906, there still come to us wonder­ ful stories of the growth and power of the native church, and individual instances of conversion and devotion to Christ which would set a new standard in many a home church. This rapidly growing German city with its mod­ ern equipment, pure water and attractive situation upon a great harbor is drawing to itself large numbers of the choice young men o f China, many of them graduates of Christian colleges, who are more and more controlling the business interests of the city. These men are becoming the lead­ ers in the religious life of Tsing-tau, and its out-stations and are developing a most remarkable system of churches and Christian schools. In all this devoted service Mrs. Scott bears no small part. During her husband’s long absences she carries his burden of responsibility, is at the head of the primary department of the Sunday school, teaches two women’s classes through the week and in their pleasant new home, does the manifold things which fall to mothers and home-makers. The Master must have a peculiar ten­ derness for these young mothers, maintaining the loveli­ ness of a Christian home in a far corner of His vineyard, rearing their little children and yielding themselves in gen­ erous service to the needs of its people.

WEST SHANTUNG MISSION. Miss Emma S. Boehne tells of a six TSINAN-FU. weeks’ itinerating tour in which, although classes were small because of late crops and cold weather, the women showed so great eagerness to hear and to understand that she is able to say, “each year there is much less opposition, and a growing desire to know more about the Jesus doctrine.” She sends us this story as but one instance of what God is doing. 17 “Several years ago the wife of one of our helpers had sore eyes. She was not a believer, but was told by an ignorant Christian to go to the foreigner and her eyes could be cured. But she found she had been deceived and the foreigner could not heal her, as he was not a doctor. She was very angry and became more hostile than before. Last autumn the Bible woman helper and I visited her village just long enough to hold a service which she permitted to be in her coUrt-yard. She had never seen a foreign woman and her curiosity overcame her prejudice. The helper spoke well, and she became so interested that she has attended services several times since at a village four miles from her home. December 18 was a cold Sunday, but she walked on her little bound feet all the distance to service so she could see us. Next spring she and another old lady, who has also been hostile, want to come to a class to be held near them. Can you realize what an encourage­ ment this is to us and also the influence these two old women may exert over others who are prejudiced?” Truly the barriers are breaking down. • Mrs. C. F. Johnson is still in this country educating her children. As president of a local society, with a Bible class of young women, and going as occasion offers to speak on China, before different groups of people Mrs. Johnston's heart and interest are still in that land where her husband’s work lies. Mrs. Calvin Mateer sailed in December WEI-HSIEN. on her return to Wei-Hsien and has there resumed the literary work which has made her so valuable a member of the station. Just before sail­ ing Mrs. Mateer spoke to us and we rejoiced to hear her tell of the power of the written word over Chinese minds. Christian newspapers, magazines, and books, what may they not do in bringing light and leading to this wonderful peo­ ple! Mrs. Robert M. Mateer M. D., returning from her fur­ lough last year, was again laid low for some weeks upon a bed of suffering, the result of “too ambitious a desire to get back into the traces again.” But even in her suffering she sees the privilege of life among her dear Chinese. She says, after speaking of the tender care and solicitude that followed her, “ Oh, there are many compensations of which our home friends know nothing! Give me China when I am well, give me China when I am ill, and give me China when I die!” Surely the supreme requisite to missionary success must be a love like that. 18 With her returned strength she has been engaged in oversight of the girls’ schools of the out-stations. She speaks of reopening one school that had been closed and of another, specially for the wives of the theological students and Bible women, whose fame has spread so far that peo­ ple come from all over north China to secure its workers. But upon this station, too, has fallen the awful shadow of the pneumonic plague and she writes of quarantine, no one being allowed to come into the compound who has not been isolated for five days, she says, writing March 4, “ The plague is gradually closing in upon us, getting nearer and nearer. We are told that the bright sunshine and warm weather will kill it naturally, though, of course, it is pos­ sible that the bubonic variety will follow the coming of the fleas.” The burden of our prayers for China just now must surely be that God may stay the ravages of this awful plague and turn even its. desolation into good. Mrs. Paul Bergen is in this country with her son at New Haven and has therefore no report to make. Mrs. Paul P. Faris is on furlough in this ICHQU-FU. country and though she has no report to make we have rejoiced to hear her voice in our meeting telling again the wonderful story of the miracles God has wrought in this difficult station, of nearly 2,000 men and women, many of them from the proud and haughty gentry, who under the impulse of Pastor Ding’s appeals have pledged themselves to study the word of God and learn the Christian way of life. The great need now in Ichou-fu is for schools in which these eager people may be trained in Christian knowledge and conduct. Miss Susan F. Eames, our missionary TSINING-CHOU. who went out under this Board last year to work among women and children, tells of the cordial welcome she received from those she has gone to serve. These new missionaries are the heirs of those who have prepared the way and Miss Eames can write, “the women all seem exceedingly friendly and the girls and children as lovable as home children, and I am eager for the time to come when I can be one with them.’’ This first year of language study, of quiet waiting and learning, is one of great value to a new missionary and Miss 19 Eames, anxious as she was to begin her work, says,, “ It is well I am forced to be an onlooker for a time, until I have learned to know them and their ways.” One’s thoughts and prayers follow these new recruits in the King’s army with peculiar tenderness.

KIANG-AN MISSION. This station can truly be said to be one NANKING. of the headquarters for union work. A Union University, a Union Theological Seminary and now a Union Bible Training School for Chris­ tian workers is contemplated, modeled on the plan of Dr. W. W. White’s. During the past year one of the early workers in this station received the call “Well done, good and faithful serv­ ant; enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.” The gentle ministry and loving Christian spirit of this beloved woman is felt to have been a very potent element in preserving harmony among all the mission workers in Nanking and in this sense Mrs. Leaman'belonged to all of the Boards repre­ sented there and has been a powerful factor in making this union work so easily possible. Miss Ellen Dresser’s desire to be back where all her days “ will be full of work” has been more than realized thjs year, for in addition to the work that she has always carried, has been added superintending the erection of a beautiful new building for her Bible Training School for women. She is most happy in the prospect of enlarged opportunity, for this school is for all classes of women “ who wish to take such a training, theological and medical students’ wives, Bible women, teachers and all who care to come.” Mrs. A. V. Gray has been teaching in the Union Univer­ sity of Nanking, making the “third Presbyterian man” in the faculty. This with many visits and much writing makes a very busy woman of Mrs. Gray, who has unusual facility for “ writing up” incidents so that they awaken interest in the homeland. CENTRAL CHINA MISSION. Mrs. Hayes having started on furlough SOOCHOW. last March, her report covers the trip by way of Europe to the homeland, where there ha? been a glad family reunion and we trust a time 20 of much needed rest. The two daughters must be left in school when Mr. and Mrs. Hayes return to China this time. These necessary separations are the bitter part of the mis­ sionary parent’s life. Mr. and Mrs. Throop, who in January had passed their second examination in the Chinese language, begin to feel truly in touch with the work because they can understand, to some extent, what is being said and the ability to express themselves will follow more rapidly. Mrs. Throop finds her­ self enjoying “ housekeeping in China,” and has had charge of a Sunday School which has grown from 16 to 50 in at­ tendance. Dr. and Mrs. Farnham, who have spent SHANGHAI. over fifty years in China as missionaries, still have charge of the correspondence and oversight of the office and editorial work of the Chinese Tract Society. This society during the last year issued over 14,000.000 pages. For a lady of over 77 years this seems valiant work. A well attended meeting of the Christian Endeavor So­ ciety is held every Sunday morning at the home of Mrs. Farnham. Miss Emma Silver started for home bv way of Europe last June, for a very much needed furlough. A part of the rest time most unfortunately must be spent in a sanatorium. One of the features in her evangelistic work was the gradua­ tion of five women from the Bible Training School. These women had been studying for the past three years under Miss Silver, and it was a great joy to her when these pre­ pared, Christian, workers received their diplomas. Mr. and Mrs. Mattox, after a pleasant HANGCHOW. furlough, part of which was spent in In­ dia, returned to Hangchow in time to open Hangchow College in the beautiful new buildings at the close of Chinese New Year in February. Their one child, Luverne, remains in this country at Northfield and the parents carry lonely hearts, but many duties attendant upon the enlarged college will keep their days very busy. Miss Ricketts has had charge of the Girls’ School Since last June and at the same time has been busy with planning for the Union Girls’ School which is to occupy the build­ 21 ing deserted by the Hangchow College boys. In November Dr. Ding Lee May, the wonderful Chinese evangelist, held meetings in Hangchow and thirty of the college boys, “the very cream of the school,” dedicated their lives to the Gos­ pel ministry and twenty of the school girls publicly prom­ ised to consecrate themselves as they might have oppor­ tunity, to the spread of the “ good news.” Miss Duncan3s eighth year in China is just N IN G P O . drawing to a close and her long needed furlough will begin when she sails for home early in July. The Girls’ Boarding School has been full to overflowing, and there have been none but native helpers to assist Miss Duncan in her all too heavy task. Her last letter was written on a sick bed, but her spirit is un­ daunted. Ten girls from the higher course and two from the intermediate finish in June. The rush of the examina­ tions, graduating exercises, packing up and leave-taking, all occur in the last week of June, and Miss Duncan asks prayers that she may be “ spared illness, especially malaria, and be given strength, common sense, and wisdom.” Something over a year ago Mr. and Mrs. Y U -Y I A O . Shoemaker moved into their new house and are thoroughly enjoying it. On the day of the “housewarming service,” Christians, inquirers, and neighbors, to the number of 150, came to rejoice with them. Not a little time in a missionary’s life is spent in the grace of hospitality which cannot always be catalogued in “the day’s work,” but which counts in the final reckoning. Mrs. Shoemaker has had her. school work added to many other duties and her furlough beginning in July will be wel­ come. SOUTH CHINA MISSION. Mrs. Fulton writes: CANTON. "AM of our birdlings have flown from the home nest, the youngest boy having gone north to school, leaving us lonely, but leaving me with much time on my hands which I am trying to use to good advantage. I have a girls’ day school where I spend two or three hours of three days each week, teaching and examining in Bible work. Two days each week I give at least four hours visiting with the Bible woman. Twice a week I visit in the wards of our hospital and two days have women’s meetings. I am most glad to say that even the most ignorant and ghfinking of the Christian 2? women are now voluntarily taking part in prayer. Beside this I am doing some translation.” Mrs. Fulton has written this by request that we might pray intelligently for her and her work. Let us not forget her needs. In August the rioting of an infuriated LIENCHOW. mob began in and near Lienchow and con­ tinued practically until Chinese New Year. The trouble was entirely between the Chinese and their of­ ficials, but fearing danger to the members of the mission Dr. Ross brought his wife and babies and Miss Patterson down the river to Canton where Mrs. Ross stayed with the little ones until in January, when they started back again feeling safe “ in the guidance of God.” No word has been received from them since, but in all such cases we feel that “ no news is good news.” Mrs. Ross has been called upon to endure very heavy physical and nervous strain and suf­ fering and our prayers will follow her in her great trials.

HUNAN MISSION. Since sending thfcir two daughters to SIANGTAN. school in Shanghai, Mr. and Mrs. Lingle have been living in the Boys’ School ' building, thus keeping in close touch with the students all of the time and finding hard work but great profit and some fun in this close contact. Chinese boys are very like Amer­ ican boys, and it was a real trial when the last bladder for the football burst and the game must wait until a new blad­ der could be procured from Shanghai. The “gymnasium” in which the boys play on rainy days is only a bare, empty room, still waiting for the equipment which we hope will come soon. Mrs. Lingle’s prayer is for means to care for more boys, especially from the Christian families that a company of helpers and evangelists may be in training. Mrs. Gelwicks writes of her busy days, HENGCHOW. visiting in the homes of the women, con­ ducting classes and trying to impress upon the mothers something of a Christian mother’s privileges, as well as responsibilities. Not the least of her duties is the care and training of her own two boys, for there is no school yejt for them in Hunan province. 23 Miss Newman became Mrs. Berst on May CHENCHOW. 13 on her way from Chenchow to Ruling, when the missionaries of Hunan province were obliged to obey a “ hurry call” to leave their stations because of riots in Changsha. Her year has been a very happy and busy one. In addition to her study and work she has the care of two of Mr. Locke’s children. It will be remembered that Mrs. Locke died last year in Hong­ kong. Mrs. Berst is greatly rejoiced that the money for the girls’ school has been given and feels that it came in answer to the prayers and intense faith of Mrs. Locke who had said “the money will come this year” ; and she is very thankful that her lot has fallen in Chenchow. “the prettiest o f all our stations.” Miss Minta Ellington is one of the lat- CHANGTEH. est representatives of our Board and Changteh is a new station on our rec­ ords but we can justly be proud of both. Miss Elling­ ton’s first letter gives glowing accounts of her station both as to beauty of location and surroundings and of the prospect of opportunity for work when she shall have learned more of the language than “ just enough to ask for the necessities of life and to find the hymns in a religious meeting.”

HAINAN MISSION. Miss Schaeffer has spent a very stren- KACHEK. uous year, although it is the last year before her furlough and she will be in the homeland before this is in print, To enumerate her many activities would be practically impossible but with all of her work and discouragements her sense of humor and bright spirit have kept her steadfast and happy- hearted. She'made a short trip to Hongkong last August taking with her two Hainanese women whose introduc­ tion to the outside world was a revelation to them. For the first time they saw an ocean steamer, electric cars and lights, ice and eat ice cream, and their remarks were most illuminating. Such glimpses of the busy world must bring a vision to these souls of the loving self- sacrifice of our missionary workers. 24 Mrs. Melrose returns on the same ship NODOA. with Miss Schaeffer, but only for a short summer vacation: Her year’s report tells of crowded rooms at each Communion serv­ ice, of testimony from heathen women to the changed dispositions and lives of their neighbors who have be­ come Christian, of the crowded condition of the girls’ school, more coming than ever before, and of long and most encouraging trips made into many villages. The return of the old pastor, who had gone to China for a few years, has gladdened the hearts of missionaries and people alike. GUATEMALA. rxTATi?MAT a These are all busy days in Guatemala. GUATEMALA . g 0 much tQ d0, f/ w t0 dQ it, But it is not at all discouraging, for never before has there been as much interest here at home in the missionary work in Guatemala as there is right now. The Messenger, a little monthly paper which the Pres­ byterian missionaries publish there, has been the means of enlightening many in this land as to the need of work and the Spanish edition which is circulated there has opened up more opportunities. Mrs. Allison says: “ This publishing work is being run as economically as possible so that means that, be­ side my woman’s classes and young people’s classes, I must help in the printing office. There is always proof to be read, or folding to be done, or the mailing list to be gone over. W e are just finishing our third hymn book which is a tremendous job. I have just returned from my first itinerating trip alone. I went down to­ ward the Pacific coast.” During the year Mrs. Allison prepared a leafllet entitled, “ Guatemala in Transition” for our Board. W e are grateful indeed for this addition to our literature. It has been an especially hard year for Mrs. Allison because she had to part temporarily with her son and daughter who are now in this country at school. W e have eyery reason to be rejoiced at the present outlook of our medical work in Guatemala. The hospital which Dt. Mary Gregg needs so sorely is much nearer 25 being a reality than it was one year ago for the ground has been secured and the plans are being made for it and we hope also for a training school for nurses. Some generous special gifts have been made for it through our Board and it is our great desire to have, before the end of the coming year, a hospital which shall be under the special care of this Board. One of thé greatest needs of the work is a young woman with a nurse’s training to go now and b§ learn­ ing the language so that she will be ready when the hos­ pital is completed. There is a demand for trained nurses but no place in all of Central America where they can be trained. W e want to take advantage of this opportunity to train Christian young women for a Christ-like service. Dr. Gregg has had all she could do this year and the re­ port for the year shows unmistakable progress.

r INDIA. PUNJAB MISSION. The work at this station has developed AMBALA. greatly during the year. Our two mis­ sionaries have had a large share in its success. Their lives have now diverged for a season. Mr. and Mrs. McCuskey have returned home, their fur­ lough being due, while Miss Pratt remains at her post, having rounded out thirty-eight years of missionary work in India. Throughout the year she has been look­ ing forward to the completion of the school building that will be the consummation of her hopes and prayers for the young womanhood of this vicinity.- It will give to Ambala a Middle School and will be a connecting link between the Primary at Jagraon and the High School at Dehra. The work among the women has gone DEHRA. on regularly here. Mrs. Kelso, another veteran in the King’s service, reports increasing interest in zenanas, with many pupils and hearers. The great need is a larger corps of helpers. Medical assistance is sadly in demand. The missionaries do all they can do in relieving physical suffering, but they cannot give experienced help. More single women 26 are .needed in the schools, women like Miss Donaldson, Miss Wherry and Miss Pratt, who have rendered such signal service to India. The efficient native pastor at Dehra is doing much to help the people. A former student of the Theological Seminary at Saharanpur, trained under Mr. Kelso, his ministry is characterized by wisdom, tact and devotion to his Master. The sending of Dr. and Mrs. Chatterjee HOSHYARPUR. to Edinburgh to represent India at the World’s Conference on Missions brought honor to this station, as they have long been identified with the work here. Miss Downs and Miss Given have divided their time between this place and Saharanpur. They were needed at Saharanpur as they were short of workers there on account of furloughs fall­ ing due, so were sent by the Punjab Mission to take charge of the school for the wives of the students in the Village Pastors’ class during the summer months. The report of Dr. Wherry does justice to the excellence of the work done in this school. He says: “The thoroughness of the work done was seen in the keen intelli­ gence of the answers given by the Christian women, most of whom have the care of little children while reciting their lessons. The thorough analysis of such books as Judges, Ruth, Isaiah, the Gos­ pels and Paul's Epistles to the Romans and Corinthians would do credit to any training school.” Miss Downs and Miss Given are back again at Hosh- yarpur. They are hoping to do a work in that district similar to what they did at Saharanpur in the villages surrounding the station. They have had many helpful and blessed experiences inspiring them to renewed effort in reaching the people. Miss Edith Jenks, formerly at Jagraon, FEROZEPUR. is now stationed at this place. Upon. her return to India after her furlough she was sent here to work among the village women. This is the largest of the mission districts, although not the most densely populated. There are about four hun­ dred Christians in the district, more than half of whom have been baptized within the last year, most of them belonging to the lowest caste. 27 In the city church there are Christians from all castes, many occupying government positions. Miss Jenks is associated with Miss Clark, who has been stationed here five years. They have divided the work between them, one taking the school for Mohammedan children, the other the school for the wives of the men in the train­ ing class, and the zenana work. They will go out to­ gether for village meetings. The work of the past year at this sta- KASUR. tion has been of two distinct kinds, the medical and district work. During the hot season more personal attention has been given to the dispensary and the near villages, while the winter months were devoted to the outlying villages with their clusters of Christian communities. The district work demands much time and care, and Dr. and Mrs. Forman are un­ tiring in the whole-hearted service they give to it. It is carried on through as many centers as possible by placing in each one a preacher and his wife to teach and help the people around them. Mrs. Forman writes: “W e have just returned from one of these centers -where we spent a week in tents. We had our living tent and a large preaching tent. During the day my husband and some volun­ tary workers visited the villages near at hand, and at night held services in the large tent. These were always well at­ tended. On Sunday night the meeting was unusually good and at the close seventy were baptized, including men. women and children. Four hundred and fifty have been baptized in six months. More workers are needed to place among these com­ munities of Christians.” The Mission High School at this sta- LAHORE. tion, in charge of Mr. and Mrs. Clark, is becoming more and more a power for righteousness. The year has been marked by a large increase in the attendance. A new and larger building is very much needed. Sanitary improvements must soon be made or the health of the boys will be affected. Mrs. Clark reports the mission compound a veritable hive of activity. Many workers are giving time, thought and energy to the problems before them and yet more are needed. It is indeed a strenuous life. So many boys to be looked after properly and trained up to a noble man­ 28 hood must inspire the best effort on their behalf, and the results show it is worth while. The work among the women is also exacting. The quiet, steady service at the Delhi Gate Dispensary has gone on as usual under the care of its faithful, efficient helpers. Mrs. Clark says of this refuge for suffering wom en: “All the women have this year listened more eagerly than ever before, and we have a much larger number of new patients from the villages, who have probably never heard the gospel before. Many of them are secret believers.” Mrs. Fleming in co-operation with the professors of Forman Christian College, of whom Mr. Fleming is one, is finding increased opportunities for usefulness in in­ fluencing the large student body by which she is sur­ rounded. The college, indeed the entire mission, is re­ joicing in the restoration to health of Dr. and Mrs. J. C. R. Ewing. NORTH INDIA MISSION. After forty years of missionary work ALLAHABAD. in India Mrs. Lucas writes from a full heart of the wonderful way in which she and Dr. Lucas have been led, and of the many bless­ ings that have crowned their days. She sees in the awakened interest in the education of women hope for India, especially when this interest is shown in a prac­ tical way by women of high rank whose influence must be felt. She writes lovingly of the success of the Mary Wanamaker High School whose growth she has watched from its small beginnings so many years ago. As usual we have had a fine report of this noble insti­ tution from its efficient principal, Miss Forman. Our missionary, Mrs. Weld, is associated with Miss Forman and Miss Tracy in the training of the young women assembled here. It would be a satisfaction to claim the three as our very own, but one must not be selfish. Miss Robinson was here for a time, but has been transferred to another station. No report has been received from her. Mr. and Mrs. McGaw, and three conse- ETAH. crated women are responsible for this district which numbers over 300,000 29 souls. The village people are nearly all from the lower castes. Hundreds of these have been baptized and the need is great for more workers to teach and train these babes in Christ. The work among the famine orphans is especially near Mrs. McGanfs heart. These have been gathered into schools which have been carried on largely by faith and the self-denying efforts of the missionaries who have made every sacrifice to keep from closing them. In the division of work here the boys’ schools have fallen to Mrs. McGaw and the girls to Miss Morrow, who has eight teachers under her direct supervision. Miss Ruchti, who upon her arrival in India last fall was as­ signed to this station, brings to the work the freshness and enthusiasm of youth. Her heart is greatly stirred by the tremendous need of the people. She writes: “The work here is tremendous.,._,In the villages round about us the people are opening their hearts to Christianity, and the children are sent to Etah to be housed, clothed, fed and edu­ cated. In the schools there is an enrollment of about one hun­ dred and fifty. More keep coming in and to provide for so many is no small task.” Mr. and Mrs. Bandy are as efficient as FATEHGARH. ever in the work here, which is largely among the lower castes. Their cam­ paign has always been an energetic one. Thirty-four churches and seven thousand Christians in this district testify to the faithfulness with which the good seed has been sown. In the fall, revival meetings were held in these churches with gratifying results. Mrs. Bandy writes of the great interest shown by the members of the women’s society here. They have planned to do something for the people in the district. They wished to take turns itinerating during the cold season so as to visit the new village Christians and help them. This campaign was doubtless carried out and many encouraged in their new life. Reports of the medical work at this station are as usual intensely interesting and show splendid results, but the missionaries who are carrying it on so thoroughly are handicapped by the lack of suitable equipment. Dr. Fullerton in her reiport calls the attention of the mission to its failure to make use. of this agency as should have been done. She says: 3a “Except for the hospital at Miraj we have no thoroughly equipped medical work in India. I do not refer to buildings, because these do not need to be fine, but to the staff equipment necessary for good work.” Should the church at home allow its missionaries to continue trying to make bricks without straw? This Station has been greatly bereaved FATEHPUR. by the death of Mr. Enders and the return of Mrs. Enders and her children to America. “Large hopes for Fatehpur were identified with Mr. Enders. His remarkable work in the Etawah district led the mission to assign him to this important post and he took hold of the work with characteristic thoroughness.” But he was already ripening for his heaventy home, and in a few months was gone.

WESTERN INDIA MISSION. There is no part of our mission field in KOLHAPUR. India where the work is more splen­ didly done than in this region, but some­ how we do not have full reports of it. This year the information is very meager. Beyond the announcement of the arrival of Miss Patton at Kolhapur we have had nothing from that station. W e know Miss Seiler was there to welcome her and we know how efficiently the work must have been carried on by the two, Miss Patton reinforced in health and strength by her furlough in the home land, and Miss Seiler, with her knowledge of India, where she was born, but we have not had it reported. This station has sustained a great loss KODOLI. in the return home of Dr. and Mrs. Wil­ son, on account of the breaking down of his health. The annual report of the Kodoli station pays a beautiful tribute to their character and influence. After commendation of the services of Dr. Wilson it says: says: “Mrs. Wilson was an ideal home maker, with all her cares managing to get in regular daily lessons for four children. Her work among the Christian women held them together and made them love the Word. Her sweet patience was a marvel to us all.” 31 Miss Patterson tells of a very interest- MIRAJ. ing experience in caring for a little orphaned baby of high rank. By desire of the Maharajah of Kolhapur, who wished the European nurse at Miraj to take charge of him temporarily, she went for the child and brought him back in great state with mounted police, outriders and attendants number­ ing in all thirty-five. Of her work in the hospital she says:

“The past year has been a very happy one. Perhaps having more nurses and more time, I am able to enter more into the lives of the people. W e have had some very dear little women in the wards lately. One of them is the dearest, sweetest In­ dian woman I have ever met.”

JAPAN. The changes taking place in Japan since the Russian war are reflected in our missionary work. The educated, city- bred Japanese have been taught much about Christianity, and need time to think and study the questions and decide which way they will turn, or if mere culture and morality is sufficient. Our girls’ schools are doing a fine work. Men recognize that the graduates make good wives and mothers. Our missionaries have generously met the spirit of inde­ pendence in the native churches, and at mission meeting held this year at Gotemba our people decided to do more work in the outsiations and to carry the Gospel into the villages and far-away places and to the islands that crowd the sea. Eighty per cent of the population of Japan live in villages and on farms. The watchword has gone out, Evangelization! This year’s mission meeting was historical, as it was there decided to unite the West and East Presby­ terian Missions into one body. The difficulties of travel are disappearing, and the union of interest and work will make a strong combination. A committee was formed also to request of ithe Board a shorter term of service, six years for maiden and seven for married women. The peril of life and property at Karuizawa in September, when the tiny mountain stream turned into a raging torrent, carrying de­ struction before it, has been a thrilling story. The experi­ ence was bravely met, and perhaps the saddest of all to our 32 missionaries was the journey home when tfheroads were \ open, to see the condition of the lowlands; farms ruined, and poverty and disease threatened in „the'adjacent cities. Our missionaries here .‘are Mrs. A. K. TOKYO. Reischauer, Miss Lila M. Halsey and Miss Isabella Mae Ward. Mrs. Reischauer’s life this year has been one of experi­ ence. In June she wrote that she would be late in getting to the mountains unless too ill to endure the heat. Later she wrote of their experience during the flood in Karui- zawa, and in October a card came from her husband an­ nouncing the birth of Edwin Oldfather Reischauer. Mrs. Reischauer calls this a rather “ shut-in” year for her, but reports many unexpected opportunities for work. She has been able to act on committees and entertain in her own home. The missionaries’ home life is a telling object lesson in foreign lands. Miss Halsey has been very keenly anxious to remain in Japan during her full term, but it has been decided that she should come home this summer when six years are com­ pleted. She feels this to be a critical and experimental time in Japan; personal work is what counts, she writes, and she comforts herself in her longing to make haste with the words of Moses in Deuteronomy that “the Lord will drive out the tribes little by little.” Miss Ward was ill for several months early in the year owing to an accident, and so unable to do the visiting she longed to do, but kept up her Sunday school and class work. The latter consists of twenty-five hours a week 'of regular school work, beside prayer meetings. She wrote last year of a campaign that was taken lip enthusiastically to put a Gospel, a tract, and an invitation to attend church in the home of every woman in Tokyo. It was carried out and resulted for a time in much interest and large audiences. A vast rally of 2,000 children was held in the National Wrestling Hall in Tokyo, a most inspiring and interesting circumstance. Miss Ward reports the school girls working well in Sun­ day school; that the Christian Endeavor is alive in both Junior and Intermediate departments; and the Y. M. C. A. is doing good work in the upper school. In spite of broken 33 roads and prophesied illness following the floods, the Joshi Gakuin opened school with 250 girls. The teachers are hoping for new science rooms and apparatus this year. The purpose of the Joshi Gakuin is to give an advanced liberal education, fitting girls for all phases of Christian life and usefulness. Miss Ward’s experience with young girls led to her support being taken up this year by our Westminster Guild. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson still live in the lit- SAPPORO. tie old house just back of the school. The house and lawn are kept so beautifully that a casual observer might not realize the disadvantages of a Japanese house grown very old. We hope a new house may be their portion this coming year. The serious illness of Mrs. Johnson’s seven-year-old son, Warren, has inter­ fered with her regular missionary work, much to Mrs. Johnson’s grief. In June she wrote of being well after an illness and that she was again making herself useful at mil­ linery and dressmaking; also teaching the women to make children’s clothing. She had entertained several mission­ aries and ministers, and finally delegates to a Nondenom- inational Women’s Convention, a gathering from churches of the interior as well as Sapporo and vicinity. The con­ vention closed with a reception and bazaar which brought the women particularly near and gave them new ideas of church work. The Sapporo church membership is nearly 500 and 80 are being prepared for baptism. The Hokusei Jo Gakko opened with only two missionary teachers, 'Miss Monk and Miss Smith, the principal. Mrs. Monk, who went out to visit her daughter last May, kindly allowed herself to be pressed into service, and one or two classes had to be omitted for a time. There were fewer pupils than last year, but 130 is a large number to manage, and there was no one left for the much needed evangelistic work. Miss Monk was looking longingly to us for a new lady missionary. Her hopes have not been realized, 'and the school has been helped on by graduates from Joshi Gakuin and three men teachers. On the second day of school a thanksgiving meeting was held for the gift of an addition to the school building. This addition is of untold advan­ tage, giving three good sized rooms for classes and sew­ 34 ing; also room under the roof which may be used when money is found for a floor, partitions, and a door on the stairs. One room has a closet with sink and is to have one or two cases of chemicals and physical apparatus furnished by alumnae, “beginnings of a laboratory.” There were twenty girls graduated last year, all but two professed Chris­ tians. Ten yen were sent to the flood sufferers by the C. E. in the school. Mrs. Hail’s last report was sent from OSAKA. Karuizawa, where she and her daughter were recovering from the excitement of the flood. She reports attendance through the year at meet­ ings, church, and Sunday School, as less fluctuating, and more interest shown in the Bible study and religious sub­ jects. Two new meetings have been started. The women in one of the churches have earned 500 yen in sewing and in other ways for a new church fund. Her Sunday School, known as the “Flower Loving Sunday School,” because com­ posed largely of children tempted by Mrs. Hail’s garden to become “ flower stealers,” meets in a beautified cow shed. The shed was made light and clean by windows and matting, and with flowers everywhere is a very chapel. She has a class of boys from ten to fourteen years of age organized with a temperance league. They have largely stopped smok­ ing cigarettes and drinking saki, but Mrs. Hail tells of a horrible falling from grace at the Spring Festival of the Fox, when they came to her door driving a big cart, beating a great drum, and declaring noisily that they were drunk with the saki given them by their fathers in honor of the household gods. Mrs. Hail has two flourishing cooking classes and has done some “inevitable” English teaching. Miss Hail leads a busy life working in the usual mission­ ary channels. She has a personality which cheers and com­ forts. Several pictures of the Wilmina School building sent by Miss Hail show them to be very attractive and comfort­ able, with tennis and lawns. A Japanese lady, a graduate af the school, who recently died, left fifty yen to the alumnae association, which was organized a few years ago. Mrs. Murray is at home on furlough. Her short year is nearly over. She has been in Ottumwa until the last month, where she has been making frequent missionary addresses. 35 We hope the change has been of benefit enough to recom­ pense her for the two long journeys with her active little children.

Mrs. J. B. Ayres writes that the school YAMAGUCHI. occupies very shabby old buildings and that they need new ones very much. The Ko Jo Jo Gakko is not a large school, but the pupils are much in earnest and have shown a fine spirit of self sacri­ fice in raising money for the flood sufferers. They have a King’s Daughters Society, and during the summer, while their teachers are absent, taught in the Sunday School them­ selves. The Ayres were sufferers in the disasters at Karui- zawa. Mr. Ayres, although threatened with a fever, waded in water up to his knees all one night, moving his household goods and aiding others worse off than himself. The Christmas festivities at Yamaguchi were followed by a week of prayer, after which the meetings continued for a month. Five girls and one married woman from Mrs. Ayres’ Bible class joined the church in January. Special interest is shown in the evangelistic work, and a new pastor of fine spirit and purpose has come to the church. This is a matter of great rejoicing. Mr. and Mrs. Ayres made a short trip to Korea and were much cheered and interested by the work there. Dorothea Ayres goes out in June for her year’s visit to her parents. This will be a happy reunion. Mrs. Thomas C. Winn reports a year of DAIREN. growth. The young church is growing and there is an increase in the inquirers in the outstations. She has had an experienced Bible woman who is peculiarly successful among old women and has opened a meeting for them. The oldest among them is seventy-eight years old, sister to a court lady of the Em­ press. She is very deaf, but comes regularly to church, usu­ ally leading an old lady who is nearly blind. It is touching to see these women profess their faith who recently wor­ shiped false gods. Several young girls united with the church at the same time. The Women’s Church Society numbers over sixty. Many of these are cultivated women and like real sisters to Mrs. Winn. A class for fancy work and sew- 36 mg meets once a month, and in Mrs. Winn’s absence they conduct it themselves. The church Sunday school has an attendance of 150 children. Mrs. Winn has opened a meet­ ing for women in a suburb near the wharf. The owner of the place of meeting, who noisily opposed Christianity, was suddenly removed from his high office, and at once the way was made ready for a long desired work. Mr. and Mrs. Winn have tried hard to influence young men working in the offices, but although they come to English classes and Bible study, they cannot do as much for them as for men and women of middle age. A number of formerly dissi­ pated men have confessed their faith this year. The changed expression of their faces proves their sincerity. The Christians seem to have grown in the grace of giving. From the first the Dairen Christians have been strong tem­ perance workers. She tells of three men who were re­ formed, one a head of police, and a police sergeant, and one a station master, who pledged themselves to urge all men under them to follow their example. The Winns spend a third of their time on the South Man­ churian Railroad visiting at twelve stations, holding meet­ ings in the waiting rooms or any convenient place. Her re­ port ends: “ We thank God for this past year of service, and take courage for the next.” Miss Julia Leavitt* left Japan last August TANABE. for her year’s furlough. She wrote that it was a heart-breaking task to leave the people gathered around trying to “help,” loading her with gifts and expressions of affection until she was exhausted with her struggle for self-control. One frail old woman eighty years of age prayed to die before Miss Leavitt left her. Her prayer was answered and she passed peacefully away with her friend by her side. The report from Tanabe is one of constant ministering. The church has declared it­ self self-supporting, the members cheerfully giving double to meet expenses. The kindergarten is flourishing, with the pastor as superintendent and the teachers all Christians. There are Sunday schools in many places, all cared for by Miss Leavitt in part or whole. Each evening is given to classes. She visits in Tanabe and in the villages and out- stations. 37 Mrs. John C. Worley, our missionary here, MATZUYAMA. was late in returning from the mountains, as she had been ill for several months last spring and early summer from the extreme heat of Matzuy- ama. She is now quite well. “ No more ice for my head/’ she writes. With the addition of a class of young girls her work is the same as last year. She is greatly interested in the church and its Sunday school and societies, has meet­ ings for women, and classes, besides visits and work in the outstations. The people about Matzuyama seem more ready to understand, more sympathetic than others. This is no­ ticeable in all the more rural Japan. In her last letter she has given an account of a tour taken into the country for a few days with her husband, a trip of forty miles or so. They travel early and late in conveyances of every kind, all full of discomfort, in rain and wind, but all taken in a spirit of enthusiasm and tenderest love. Mrs. Worley says they take this trip once a month and “ always have such a welcome.” Miss Mary Belle Sherman sailed for TSU. home on furlough the seventeenth of De­ cember via Suez. She hoped to see something of mission work in India, and make a long-de­ sired visit to Palestine, reaching New York this spring. She leaves her work very reluctantly. One woman’s good-bye was, “We will be waiting.” Her helper this year has been a good one and everything has worked smoothly. Miss Sherman has had a class of nine students—a departure from her usual work. Recently she was given permission to speak half an hour a week in a large cotton factory where 2,000 girls, are employed. Friends spring up all about Miss Sherman; the people come to her very familiarly. Just before leaving Japan she wrote: “There are a few more baptisms before I go, then I must try to be trustful about the home journey. I have planned: Miss A. E. Garvin has had charge of this HIROSHIMA. station. KOREA. Travelers in writing of the Koreans have been severe in their criticism, but Dr. Brown assures us “ They are 38 mentally quite the equals of the Chinese and Japanese and develop quickly under education.” Like Palestine, Korea is a passageway, and through this little country, travelers and soldiers pass back and forth from China to Japan. Many of the Korean Christians feel they have been chosen to carry the gospel to some of the more powerful nations and take advantage of every oppor­ tunity which offers. They have sent out missionaries from their own number to the Island of Quelpart, to Manchuria, and Siberia, and a graduate pastor to work among their countrymen in Tokyo. Great advance is being made in educational lines, there being now more than 10,900 boys and 2,500 girls in the primary schools. Dr. Lillias Underwood has had a pro- SEOUL prolonged interruption in her active service. For three months she was con­ fined to her bed, and during much of this time her hus­ band, Dr. Horace Underwood, was suffering from the effects of a severe accident. Mrs. Underwood, with a faith which cannot be shaken, writes: “ It seems hard, ■ but we know it is all right.” She tells with thankfulness of the joy of being again able to meet with the women in the Bible Classes and to know of their increasing in­ terest. In addition to Mrs. Underwood’s evangelistic work, she continues to edit “The Korean Field,” a little magazine whose monthly visits cannot fail to stimulate interest. Dr. Eva Pieters has two small sons, who are active enough to absorb much of their mother’s time, but like other missionary mothers she has learned, while home making is her first interest, it is only a part of her life work. One of Mr. Pieters’ duties has been publishing and distributing the “ Korean Hymn Books.” Mrs. Pieters has devoted much time to proof reading. Her advanced arithmetic has been revised and is ready for use in the schools. She has also lectured on physiology in the medical school connected with the Severance Hospital. In a recent letter, Mrs. Pieters writes: “ The past week we have had no lessons, as the entire school asked per­ 39 mission to join in the evangelistic campaign. All the denominations in Seoul have united in the effort to reach the people of the city.” Mr. and Mrs. Pieters expect to arrive in America in July for their furlough. Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Miller returned to Korea in time to take an active part in the preparations for the evange­ listic campaign whose watchword has been “ A million souls for Christ.” Mrs. Miller is in charge of the Girls’ Academy. She is assisted by Mrs. Genso and Miss Lewis. The word comes: “We have won a good name throughout the city and land for our girls’ school. It has had a year of excellent class work, good order and rich blessing.” Because the girls could not go out and preach publicly, they gave their pin money for the support of an evangelist. For the second time the)’- prepared a Christmas box and sent to a poor church, praying that it might carry a blessing as well as gladness; and $10,000 has been contributed for a new building for the school. The work grows constantly. There are now six Pres­ byterian churches in the city and four outside of the walls. 1 Tw o of our young missionaries have been married dur­ ing the past year. Miss RcMgers in marrying Mr. Genso has established another Christian home in Seoul. She continues educational and evangelistic work. With re­ gret we were obliged to relinquish Miss Taylor, as she married Mr. Billings of the Methodist Board. W e are fortunate in having a new missionary in Seoul, Miss Lewis, who has already won the affection of the missionaries and made herself valuable in the school. For the present her most important work must be lan­ guage study. Rev. and Mrs. Chas. A. Clark are spending their fur­ lough in the home land. Mr. Clark has been called to speak so constantly, that it might be said he had only changed his field for itinerating. The rest has established Mrs. Clark’s health and she is looking forward with happy anticipations to her return to the work in Korea. Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Winn, who were rapidly becoming identified with the various branches of work in Fusan, have recently been transferred to Seoul.

40 Mrs. F. S. Miller’s many activities have CHONG JU. been in a measure interrupted by her severe illness, but we rejoice that her strength is returning and she will soon be able to resume her work. Mrs. Oand and Elder Pak’s wife have been of invaluable assistance to the missionaries. The W om ­ an’s Bible class has nearly doubled in number each year. Five years ago the Woman’s Sabbath school consisted of one woman and her little daughter, now the average attendance is 150. The distribution of literature on the market days continues an important adjunct to the work. On one day the Chong Ju Christians distributed 10,000 leaflets. Mr. W . L. Swallen and his son Wilbur PYENG YANG, left Korea the last of January to return to America by the way of Asia and Eu­ rope. A little later Mrs. Swallen and her three little daughters took the shorter -trip across the Pacific and arrived in San Francisco in March. The furloughs of our missionaries, coming only once in eight years, afford a much needed change. Mrs. Swallen in preparing for her absence has had, if possible, during the past few months, a busier life than usual. In writing about the two classes she was about to hold in the country, she says: “ Mrs. Blair will take care of my children and then I will take care of hers while she goes.” This same spirit of interchange of helpfulness extends to the work in the different stations whenever an emergency arises. Mr. and Mrs. Graham Lee and their family are greatly missed in Pyeng Yang. Since their return to America, Mrs. Lee’s mother has been ill. Mr. Lee’s health is improv­ ing, but it is impossible at present to set a definite date for their return to Korea. Miss Velma Snook of our Board and Miss Haynes of the Methodist Mission are at the head of the academy for girls. This school during the past year has had a total enrollment of 164. In school as in evangelistic work the union of the two denominations is becoming more complete, and the importance of the dividing line is rap­ idly disappearing. It is a cause for gratitude that Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Davis have made it possible to erect the new school buildings, which were sorely needed. 41 There has been an attendance of 100 men and 43 women at the Normal Schools this year. Miss Snook is one of the teachers in charge. She has also worked with the women of the South Gate Church and when needed has assisted in the Bible classes of other stations. In a recent letter Mrs. Mowry writes: “The Lord has been very good in allowing us to lay hold of the work as soon as we have. W e cannot be of very great usefulness yet, on account of language difficulties, but one by one the opportunities are opening before us. This whole year has seemed one of beginnings, last year it was all prepara­ tion. One appreciates the privilege of service much more keenly after waiting for it.” During the past year 4,548 girls and women have studied the Bible in the different classes of this station. The North Church, which was started five years ago, is having its fourth addition. The number of Christians in that neighborhood has increased from 85 to 500. Mrs. Cyrus. McCormick has contributed $5,000 for the college dormitories and has also given a main building and dor­ mitory for the Theological Seminary. The work in Syen Chun is making won- SYEN CHUN. derful progress. It is difficult to find accommodations and a sufficient num­ ber of instructors for the large' Bible classes. It has caused deep regret to the members of the station that owing to ill health Miss Chase was obliged temporarily to give up her work and to come to America. The change has proved beneficial but it is impossible to state definitely when she will be able to return to Korea. Mrs. Cyril Ross has given the women lessons in Hy­ giene and Physiology and taught in the academy. She has the class for baptized women Sabbath mornings, when the Bible is studied by 950 women and girls. Vis­ iting in the homes has created a strong bond of sym­ pathy between our missionaries and the Korean women. This spring Mrs. Ross assisted in the Women’s Class at Chai Ryong. Mrs. Toms has continued her classes in TAIKU drawing and music and as she has be­ come more proficient in the language has 42 assumed additional duties, teaching the two Bible classes and making trips in the country. The Girls’ School has had a prosperous year notwithstanding its inadequate equipment. Last spring there were 560 women in attend­ ance upon the Woman’s Bible class. It is too early to have a report from the class held this year. Kang Kai from its inception has been KANG KAI. blest with warm and generous friends. As the town is 200 miles in the interior it has been a tedious task to erect the needed buildings. The Albert Keep Memorial Home and the Kate Gamble Cottage are two of the three new missionary homes. The money for the hospital was the gift of Mr. John S. Ken­ nedy. Mrs. Ralph Mills is the only missionary of our Board at this station. She visits in the homes, itinerates and assists her husband in his medical work. Mrs. Mills has been ill and obliged to spend some time at the hos­ pital in Seoul. Dr. Mills has been appointed to do re­ search work in connection with the Severance Hospital, and will move to Seoul as soon as a physician can be found for Kang Kai.

MEXICO. AGUAS Mr. and Mrs. Newell J. Elliott have - a, TTnvT'nrc been here unt^ Just recently when they moved to San Luis Potosi to take up the work of Mr. and Mrs. C. Scott Williams, who are in Mexico City. Mrs. Elliott has taken a three weeks’ trip through the San Luis district, holding meetings and conferences in many places. She says the people showed a fine spirit for work and that the meetings were very helpful. We had a brief verbal report from Mrs. COYOACAN. William Wallace when she and her two small daughters came into Room 48 one Friday morning last August. She was passing through Chicago on her return to Mexico after her de­ lightful furlough with Dr. Wallace in Europe. They attended the Edinburgh conference. They were back in their Coyoacan home in September and into work im­ mediately. The college and seminary -at Coyoacan had 43 a successful year and to help supply the “material needs” has taken much of Mrs. Wallace’s time and wisdom and there yet remain many needs for the equipment that any modern school requires, and there is no fund from which to draw for these things. A new name in our list! For no more SAN ANGEL. is there a Normal School for girls in Mexico City but instead it now occu­ pies a beautiful site in this charming suburb and is only about a mile and a half from Coyoacan. Miss Rena Cathcart is the principal of the school and we congratu­ late her and the women of the Philadelphia Board, whose special charge the school is, upon having obtained so suitable and beautiful a location and building. The build­ ing is probably a hundred years old, but that’s not old for Mexico, and it has been sufficiently remodeled to make it convenient for school purposes. It has a lovely, immense garden and there is plenty of room for every­ body and everything pertaining to the school, a state­ ment scarcely appreciated by those who never saw how the interior of the old building was always protruding through its exterior because of the tremendous pressure from within! W e shall expect to hear of even better work in the future than the good past records have shown. No changes have occurred in our work SALTILLO. here this year, Miss Jennie Wheeler and Mrs. Charles Petr an being our rep­ resentatives. But we record with sorrow the death of Dr. Thomas Wallace, who for so many years has had such a vital interest in our girls in the Saltillo school, and who kept us in touch by his frequent visits at Room 48. As 1910 was the centennial year of Mexico’s indepen­ dence, patriotism ran riot in all of the essays of the grad­ uating class of thirteen attractive young women. The school year has been somewhat changed and corresponds to the government schools in which 52 of our Saltillo graduates are now teaching, only 27 being in mission schools. But as government schools increase, mission schools grow fewer. It is a hopeful sign of the advance­ 44 ment of Mexico that she is becoming more equal to her educational task. W e are glad indeed to have our girls hold these positions of influence and opportunity. Of the 137 graduates of this school, only four were not church members. Two of the graduates in a town where they are the only Protestants are trying to start a Sun­ day school, and in several other places, although em­ ployed in public schools, the teachers are trying to do Christian work. Although 85 girls applied for places as boarders last year, only 72 could be admitted. There were 10 day pupils, making a total of 82, and of these 50 were mem­ bers of the church, several others wished to unite but could not obtain their parents’ consent. The financial condition of the school was better than last year but the increased cost of living is adding new problems. There are some needs of the school which seem imper­ ative. First, an associate teacher, for Miss Wheeler has endured the strain alone too long; second, repairs on the building, as stairway, corridor, roof and one wall are on the point of falling and other parts of the building while not in actual decay will soon need attention; third, a new piano is greatly needed. The school was the recipient of a much appreciated gift from two sons of Dr. Wallace in memory of their father. It is to be used for tuition for some girl. Miss Wheeler says: “ Saltillo school does not need the gift of money whereby to remember Dr. Wallace. Remem­ brance of him is ever present, yet we deeply appreciate such a gift in his name and are glad the school and the girls seem worthy of such a kindly remembrance.”

PERSIA. The gradual disappearance of many of the traditions of the people is giving opportunity for progressive work, and Persia, as never before, is looking to us as a Christian na­ tion, for a way out of her difficulties. Our missionaries re­ port progress in all-phases of their work. The hospitals, always a very direct means of touching lives, are doing a noble work and, as along educational lines, the possibilities are limited only by lack of equipment. The churches ar« 45 filling with young people from our schools and the mis­ sionary receives a cordial welcome everywhere.

EASTERN MISSION. Dr. Mary J. Smith, who is in charge of TEHERAN. the Women’s Department of the Ameri­ can Presbyterian Hospital, writes: “ God has blessed the work, and the results have been excellent.” Fifty-one patients, ranging in age from four to seventy were cared for. Many have been the expressions of grati­ tude from these as well as from those who received help at the crowded dispensaries, where the work continued throughout the year. Assistants have been faithful and con­ stant in their service. Dr. Smith writes: . “We wish we could say, many have been brought to Christ, but we do^ know, many have come to feel they would like to become Christians, but are not strong enough to come out from their own religion. The seed sown in the hearts, we believe, has fallen on ground which will bring forth fruit sometime, even though we are not permitted to know and see it.” Although other hospitals have been opened, and there is an increase of foreign doctors, there was no decrease in the patients in the Men’s Hospital. O f the 234 admitted, over half were surgical cases, that tried the skill of the surgeon to the utmost. Many times grateful patients returned to see Dr. Wishard, and were greatly disappointed to find him gone. Dr. Smith refers to his leaving as “a great sorrow to us all, and the loss to the work seems almost irreparable. His long years of faithful service and untiring efforts to make the hospital and medical work one of the highest standard, telling for the cause of Christ, has been crowned with success.” Prayers are earnestly asked for, that just the right one may soon be found to take up this important work. Also that the long needed nurse be found to assist Dr. Smith. Miss Bessie Allen, from Galesburg, Illi- IRAN BETHEL, nois, was appointed to this school last year, and in her first letter recently re­ ceived, gives some of her first impressions; one being that it is a very needy field. So many .bright, pretty faces among the 250 girls in the school surprised her. O f these, 115 are Persian. Miss Allen is finding considerable inter­ 46 est and pleasure in the language study, devoting the morn­ ings to this and afternoons to teaching. Another year we hope to have a full report of the work in this school. Dr. and Mrs. Funk, after a year’s fur- HAMADAN. lough, returned to Hamadan in October. A most enthusiastic welcome awaited them. The Lily Reid Holt Memorial Hospital, which had been closed during their absence, was soon ready for occupancy. The winter was so cold and fuel so scarce, won­ der was expressed that patients could be kept warm. “ Slow old Hamadan” impressed Mrs. Funk more than ever. She says: “W e have found changes in Hamadan, but not the changes we hear of in other cities. The women are just the same and are not crying for an education, nor for freedom from the veil; neither are they longing for the gospel and the freedom it brings them. In fact, we see little or no improvement in the people of Hamadan. All this makes us feel we must try harder to help them, but it is hard to know just how to do it.” Mr. and Mrs. Stead, M. D., returned to Hamadan early in the fall, after a year spent at home. It was late in No­ vember when they arrived in Kermanshah. Several dis­ couraging reports had reached them about the work, so they were surprised and pleased to find a good attendance at the Sunday service. An infant was baptized, making a Christian family of father, mother and two children. At Sahnak, where the “good tidings” had not been heard more than twice in two years, but where a native preacher had previously lived, the converts are known all over the vil­ lage as Christians and respected. Mrs. Stead, M. D., says: “After this visit there is no doubt in our minds that the way to work the villages is to put in native workers. The people thus become accustomed to thinking of it as a possi­ ble thing to become Christians, bigotry is overcome, and in­ quirers grow up.” The natives take all kinds of questions to the missionaries to solve. The various duties of home­ maker, physician, teacher, make great demands on Dr. Stead’s time and strength. An encouraging note, was the request which came to Mr. and Mrs. Stead, from the Chief Moslems of a village, to start a school which they promised would be self-supporting, depositing $800.00 in bank at their disposal. 47 WEST PERSIA MISSION. Miss Bcaber's letters indicate an unprece- TABRIZ. dented desire for education. She writes : “ The political progress in Persia has opened the doors wide for the admission of Mohammedan girls to our Christian schools.” Of the thirty-three Moslems in the school last year, twenty-two were boarders. These girls paying to eat the “unclean” bread of Christians, in order to gain an education, demonstrates that the Moslem department is no “ fantastic prospect.” The school, which stands first and foremost for religious instruction, was more than filled to its capacity; the work limited only by lack of facilities, due to insufficient appropriaton. We are glad to report funds have been given to enlarge the equipment. In response to the demand for French, a teacher was secured, who was also expected to teach sewing. She has relieved Miss Beaber in various ways. At the closing exercises held the last week in June, the principal of the Rakhim School for Persian girls, told us her own hope was, “to make the school equal to ours.” Miss Grove is rejoicing in the “ fetters of speech,” being so removed that she can now take an active part in the teaching, her “ happiness growing apace.” The two years spent as teacher of the missionaries’ children, Miss Grove considers a most valuable experience. Referring to some of the difficulties under which the school work is done, she writes: “But no matter under what difficulties it must be done, I feel more and more that educational work is a great opportunity, though I trust I may always see as I do now, the splendid op­ portunities in the other departments. I wish you might come into the prayers for the Mohammedan girls some morning. Miss Beaber is at present coaducting them. Often some girl will break right in to offer some suggestion, as, for instance, when she was trying to explain the passage: ‘For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.’ A girl whose family has been known to the missionaries for some years, sai'd: ‘Why, yes; that is easy to understand, that is why you left your home to come out and teach us.’ ” Mr. and Mrs. Pittman returned to Tabriz August 6th, after a year’s furlough. Annual meeting began a week later, and in October they started for a tour to Maragha. 48 Mrs. Pittman writes: “W e need your special prayers for this New Year that we may not miss the opportunities which come to us and that physical strength be given us to do all that we see to do, and above all, pray God will send reinforcements to us; just those He can use here.” Miss Holliday, accompanied by a native Christian woman, the evangelist, and a cook, spent over half the year in tour­ ing. Many Kurdish villages were visited, twenty being away up in the mountains. To some the gospel message had never been carried, but “ there was little opposition and no red unfriendliness manifested.” Miss Holliday was appointed delegate to the Second Gen­ eral Conference on Missions to Moslems, held in Lucknow, India, the last week in January. She was one of three who gave a paper on Reform Movements. The Indian Witness, in reporting the conference, says: “ These papers are in­ valuable to all who are seeking to understand the situation, and will be awaited with interest in the Report of the Con­ ference.” Mrs. Samuel G. Wilson reports progress in every phase of the work. During the year visits had been made in 100 homes, in most of them repeatedly. At betrothals, in time of bereavement, and when helping the physical needs, the door is opened many times to the spiritual. During annual meeting, as at many other times, many enjoyed the hospi­ tality of Dr. and Mrs. Wilson’s home, sometimes called a “caravanserai.” Until the illness of Mrs. Wilson’s two children (the only ones left in the station), she taught them four hours daily. A weekly meeting for Moslem women numbering from twelve to thirty, a Sabbath school class of 22 Moslem boys, and various other gatherings consumed much time and ener­ gy. Many were the calls for help during the long and cold winter, and the “ relief fund” was inadequate. In connec­ tion with the Memorial School, Mrs. Wilson identified her­ self with its varied interests, bringing much of the school life into her home. The boarding department numbered twenty-seven, nineteen Armenian, eight Moslem. The kin­ dergarten department is taught bv two “Sisters, graduates of the Girls’ School. Dr. and Mrs. Wilson are.happy in the restored health of their children and very grateful to 49 Dr. Cora Carpenter, whose services were “ devoted and un­ tiring.” Mrs. Van Hook left Tabriz last year in time to reach Edinburgh for the great Conference, arriving in this country during the summer. Many have heard of the work and its needs during her furlough, and she expects to return to the field of her labors in the early summer. Dr. Edna Louise Orcutt, recently appointed to this Mis­ sion, sailed in April and will probably take up the medical work in Tabriz, where there is the greatest need for re­ enforcements. We regret to report there is still no phy- ' URUMIA. sician appointed by this Board to assist in the medical work of this station, where Dr. Packard’s services are so overtaxed.

THE PHILIPPINES. The fourth year of work in the Ellinwood MANILA. School for Girls has been carried along lines developed in preceding years, six months of actual school work and six months of provincial work. Most of the girls have done excellent work among the children in their home towns. The difference between the girls who have been in the schools even for a short time and other girls of the same town is most apparent. The work in the school has gone on quietly and regularly and “there is great cause for gratitude in the evidence of the Spirit of God in the daily lives of the girls. In their earnestness and devo­ tion to study and work, in the spirit of helpfulness to each other and to the teachers, in the practical application of the commands of Christ to the little problems and questions that arise from day to day, in all these evidences of the deepening and developing of their spiritual lives, this is the best year that the school has known.” Institutes have been held in the Provinces and some of the classes have been specially encouraging, both from the intelligence of the women attending and from the unusual opportunity of training these women to teach the children. At one place three women walked fifty miles to attend the class. Mrs. Roy Brown reports a busy but prof- ALBAY.' itable year and the joyful prospect of a new house. After enumerating various 50 lines of work that have been carried on almost constantly, she writes, “ these things have served to keep me busy and meek.” SIAM. The sudden death of King Chulalongkom, Oct. 22, 1910, was a severe loss to the nation, and all festivities came to an end for three months or more, while our advanced schools omitted the usual entertainments given at the end of the school year. Memorial services were held in various churches which drew together many classes of people who had never worshipped before in a Christian church. We still number six missionaries in our five stations, announcing with deep regret the resignation of Mrs. E. S. Conybeare at Bangkok. Rev. and Mrs. H. W. Stewart, who arrived in November, have been assigned to Pitsanuloke as soon as a suitable resi­ dence can be secured. The Christian Boys’ High School began BANGKOK. this year to make monthly reports to the Government Educational Department. This secures government certificates which are of great value to the boys. Miss Annabel Galt writes that it has been a good year in many ways. If the number of pupils has diminished, it is because of the conscription of young men for the army. We hear the new king will put more stress on education. Three of the graduates this year have taken eleven years of continuous study. “ Edu­ cated men are more and more in demand for government service.” A new site has been secured for the Third Church of Bangkok and twenty-seven patients, from the hospital under Dr. Walker, have united with this same church, mak­ ing in all 56 new members this year. The Boon Itt Memorial Institute reports a hundred mem­ bers and much activity along lines of language study, illus­ trated lectures and concerts and devotional meetings for young men. We regret that Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Conybeare have felt obliged to resign,' as they have done much good work for the permanent welfare of this institution. The reading room needs good literature and especially illustrated magazines, of a scientific value to young men, who are eager for this kind of information. 51 The First Church of Bangkok, which was built in 1860, and located at Sumray, has torn down its old structure and rebuilt for itself a beautiful little church in truly Siamese style at a cost of 7,000 ticals. As no missionary lives at Sumray and only Siamese Christians have engaged in this work it is highly encouraging to their pastor Kroo Yuen, who deserves to see results. Mrs. J. A. Eakin writes that Dr. Eakin is PETCHABURI. starting on his last tour by ox cart, as the new railroad will soon open up all that country. A great change has come to Petchaburi. Four hundred believers have been gathered in during the last four years and the number is constantly increasing. Dr. and Mrs. Eakin feel a burden of prayer for all this num­ ber that “ they may be kept from the evil” and “ that they all may be one in Christ Jesus.” As they are about to come home on furlough, the work is left to Mr. and Mrs. Post. Miss Bruner, who has been a power for good in all that region, is to change her residence and become the wife of Dr. L. C. Bulkley at Tap Teang, our new station on the Malay Peninsula. Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Cooper have been RAJABURI alone at Rajaburi for a number o f years, sustaining two day schools, preaching services and Sunday School work, so that the labors of Mrs. A. W- Cooper have been varied and heavy. She has taught in both day schools and managed the affairs of the mission whenever Mr. Cooper was called elsewhere on dif­ ferent committees. She writes that just when she was in great need of a rest, friends in America have made possible a trip to the sea coast and a rest at Koh Lak. M Mrs. Chas. E. Eckels writes that Prince 5rttam at?at Naret, the brother-of the late king, has recently made a visit to Nakawn and given 200 ticals to the mission hospital, but he condemned our school accommodations, which was quite right. The spe­ cial needs of this mission are a school building, as well as a new church, which is already commenced. Since the new year came in, nine adult members have been received into the church; one of these was a strong Buddhist and quite in­ 52 firm, but after receiving baptism she knelt down and prayed audibly that she might be faithful. Many women are eager to read the Bible for themselves during Church service and three of these women sat up till early morning studying over one book for this purpose. Mrs. Carl J. Shellmam attends chapel serv- PITSANULOKE. ice every morning at the hospital where Dr. Shellman has 119 in-patients this year and 5,064 out-patients who have received medical at­ tention. There is a boys’ school of seventy-three, but no girls’ school as yet in Pitsanuloke. The total membership of the church is twenty-four and might be increased if they were nearer to the city itself. A new site for a residence across the river is very much desired on this account, espe­ cially as Rev. and Mrs. H. W. Stewart are expected to labor here. Recent tours show the vast amount of superstition and dense ignorance which prevails in this region, especially toward the east. Our missionary has many callers at all hours of the day, so that she is never without opportunities to do personal work. They were the only missionaries here till the arrival of Rev. and Mrs. R. C. Jones. Our location here is only five minutes TAP TEANG. walk from the new railroad which is being built across the Peninsula. Dr. and Mrs. E. P. Dunlap and Dr. L. C. Bulkley have been here since last November. They report a fine hospital building 133 feet long with wide verandas on four sides. The new residence, however, had only three rooms without any verandas, but the High Commissioner promises financial help and has ap­ pointed Dr. Dunlap a member of the School Board, while Dr. Bulkley has been appointed the Surgeon for one district of the railroad. LAOS. The past year in the Laos Mission has been one of great activity, whether it be in medical, educational or evangelistic work. Dr. McGilvary reports a great change in the willing­ ness of the Laos people to receive books and tracts. After full three months spent in out village work, he writes: “ Not since the work was new have I seen more wonderful re­ sults.” The number of Christians now numbers 3,821, of ff whom 397 were added last year. All of our eight mission­ aries are now in the field except Mrs. J. W. McKean of Chieng Mai, who is still detained in this country until fully restored to health. One more has left us for the South­ west Board, as the First Church at Kansas City have asked that Dr. and Mrs. Chas. H. Crooks might both be their for­ eign representatives. Miss Mabel Gilson, of Chieng Mai Girls’ School, is now Mrs. Edwin C. Cart of Lakawn, while the Mission is strengthened by the arrival of Rev. and Mrs. D. M. MacCluer, Miss Daisy P. Campbell and Miss Marie Collins. As Miss Gilson left the Chieng Mai Girls’ CHIENG MAI. School in January for a six months’ fur­ lough, Miss Edith M. Buck has had entire charge of the school during the present year, having the assistance of Miss Lucy Starling, one Siamese teacher, three native teachers and one matron. The school numbers 122 pupils and 77 of these are boarders. Seventy of the pupils are packed into one sleeping room “ so tight there is not room to think.” The call is very insistent for enlarged quarters, as soon as the arrangements can be made. Eight girls united with the church on Sunday, October 9, and on November 15 the school closed with a ribbon drill on the lawn by twelve girls, a wand drill by forty pupils, followed by songs and recitations. An old man visitor was heard to exclaim: “ Mother Teacher, I have never heard anything like this before. The Christian’s God certainly helps these children to learn so rapidly.” In this same school Mrs. Claude W. Mason gives instruction in lace making for two hours daily, having 18 looms in all, and the orders come in faster than they can be filled. She also helps Dr. Mason in the hospital, where systematic teaching has been carried out with the hospital patients in their rooms. Dr. Mason has also had charge of the Mission Press this year and re­ ports a million and a quarter pages printed for purely evan­ gelistic purposes, also 3,268 portions of the Scriptures which have been sold this last year. A prince remarked to Dr. Mason: “ You Christians have all the brains!” Dr. and Mrs. Chas. H. Crooks left the LAKAWN. Lakawn Hospital, Aug. 20th, for their well earned furlough. They have had 54 charge of the Sunday school and two Teachers’ Training classes, as well as the hospital with its 14,500 patients who received medical attention this last year. Rev. and Mrs. H. S. Vincent returned from their fur­ lough late in the fall and resumed their work in the Ken­ neth MacKenzie Memorial School for Boys. The new building is completed and 44 boys are enrolled. Mean­ while Dr. and Mrs. E. C. Cort have charge of the hospital and dispensary and Mrs. Cort is teaching from 8 to 12 every day with the assistance, of Miss Marie Collins, as Miss Van Vranken was needed to open a school at Nan. She writes: “ Lakawn has always been a hard field, but the tide is turn­ ing.” Hospital patients as well as the village people are confessing Christ. The news from this far away station is CHIENG RAI. very cheering. Mrs.. W. A. Briggs is doing a wonderful work for women hold­ ing classes in the' new Overbrook Hall every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, also a women’s prayer meeting in the homes every Friday. The church membership has ad­ vanced to 175 this year with a Sunday school of 170 schol­ ars. Mrs. Briggs also teaches music every day in the Boys’ School, which has 53 pupils, and oversees the Sunday school with an elder as superintendent. She reports a six weeks’ tour to the north villages with Clark Briggs (five years old) as her constant support, teaching sometimes in places where the girls would follow her from village to village. This is the largest province in northern NAN. Siam and the river is now navigable for large freight boats. For the first time in fifteen years there have been three men with their families fully equipped for work. Mrs. S. C. Peoples reports a trip to the Yows, of whom there are 5,000 in Nan province. The English Press at Swatow furnishes books in the Yow dialect. Ray Peoples visited his parents in October and remained over Christmas. The total membership of the Nan church is 221,.. with six outstations and 33 additions this last year. Mrs. Hugh Taylor reports a flourishing school for 50 bright mischievous boys under Mr. Palmer’s efficient fe2dpr.sh.ip 3jj.d a long itinerating trip over three 55 ranges of mountains to the northwest by Dr. Taylor, who has six men in the Evangelists’ Training class. Children’s Day in June was a beautiful occasion, with 150 children to take part in song and recitation while forty boys marched in procession singing as they entered the Hyde Park Me­ morial chapel, which was a bower of roses and lilies. It was the best day in the history of the church. Mrs. Taylor has just reached America, beginning her year’s furlough. The annual meeting held at Praa this PRAA. year was a real spiritual uplift. Mr. and Mrs. Callender and Mr. Yates have been assigned to this work with headquarters at Lakawn. They have spent much time in itineration and report thirty-nine accessions to the church. This is not an independent station, but KENG TUNG. we have a good evangelist, and work is carried on through the 'guidance of mis­ sionaries who visit the native Laos Christians. BRAZIL. It is with sincere regret we record thé resignation dur­ ing the year of Miss Anna Bell McPherson, who went to Brazil in 1901. Miss McPherson had been but a short time in Brazil after her furlough when, on account of her mother’s illness, she found it necessary to return to her home. We gratefully acknowledge her years of faithful service. W e have added two names to the list of missionaries in Brazil. Mrs. Harold C. Anderson, who is now on the field, being stationed in Estancia in the state of Sergipe ; Miss Mary R. Thompson, of Jacksonville, 111., is under appointment and expects to leave after the conference in June. CHILL There has been no change in our mis- CONCEPCION. sionary force here this year. Mrs. Boomer, our South American veteran missionary, has put in another year of difficult service in Concepcion. It takes years to overcome the disas­ trous results of serious church schism such as our work 56 here has been plunged into during the last two years. Much of the work seems to be but a beginning anew where there ought to be a flourishing maturity, but the outlook is brighter than it was a few years ago. Reduc­ tion of appropriation has added to the difficult problems. There is no place in Chili that calls to us more plead­ ingly for earnest prayer than does Concepcion. Mrs. Jesse S. Smith writes that last COPIAPO. year has been one of the pleasantest they have spent in Chili. Copiapo has a healthful climate, and although there has been no rain there for two years, irrigation from a small river whose source is in the Andes, has kept it a green spot. This place was a prosperous mining town but on account of t-he increased cost of bringing coal and the great cost of shipping the ores many of the mines have been shut down and the people moved away. Although there are not many English families left a service is held every Sunday that Mr. Smith is at home. The Spanish speaking congregation is composed largely of young people, many of whom are members of the church, and although from the poorest class of people they do wonders in helping on the work. The C. E. society has promised a regular sum to help carry on work in the port and during the year their tract com­ mittee has carried literature to other towns in the valley and held services at one of the mines. On Monday afternoon Mrs. Smith meets with the sewing society of the Spanish church and has a half-hour of Bible study; she has an interesting class of girls in the Sunday school and on Saturday holds another Bible class and on Friday evenings conducts the teacher’s meeting in her husband’s absence. Mr. Smith has charge of all the Presbyterian work in Chili north of Valparaiso, and his work among the nitrate miners is most interesting. From their whole field they report steady growth in numbers and spiritual life and great need of native workers. Mrs. Spining finds the work as absorb- VALPARAISO. ing as ever. Early in the year she wrote: “ We have just been holding a 57 week of special meetings and so great was tfie interest that they were continued the following week. To our great joy 120 new people expressed themselves as de­ sirous of entering a catechumen class. Does not that show a radical change on the part of the people toward our work ? What a magnificent opportunity for our work this year!” COLOMBIA. We are glad to report our two Colombia missionaries, Mrs. Charles Spencer Williams and Mrs. Charles E. War­ ren (Miss Mary Freeman), again on the field. Mr. and Mrs. Warren are to take BARRANQUILLA. charge of the boys’ school very soon, and in the meantime Mrs. Warren is much interested in a little school for poor children, and goes on Friday afternoons to teach the Bible lessons. Her hands have been full with care of her own baby, who has always had to make a struggle for life. Mrs. Williams and her little son returned BOGOTA to Colombia early last fall much improved in health. Her enthusiastic letters have been full of plans for new work, for which there seems to be unlimited opportunity. The college for boys has been in good condition and able to pay off a debt of nearly $100 and have on hand a similar sum, which they hope to be able to use for a Bible depository and reading room. A plan they have long cherished is that of conducting a school for the poor boys that crowd the streets and who have no chance for an education. She says: “ We can, by using sev­ eral boys of the church an hour or so daily, manage most of the-hours without expense, as we ourselves will also teach some and thus will only have to pay for two hours’ teaching each day. The men of this ward are willi»g to buy books for the boys, and the church members have of­ fered to,help. We had enough benches and by much schem­ ing and a little carpentry work, Mr. Williams has at last arranged the room. No mission money will be spent, and the Bible will be taught these boys every day.” Another new line of work she has taken up is providing good substantial breakfasts for ill-fed boys who come long 58 distances to the regular school. The cost is five cents for each boy, and she says the result is already apparent. This necessitates Mrs. Williams’ spending much time in the kitchen, but as an offset to this kind of work she teaches the New Testament class in the theological seminary of three students which Mr. Williams and Mr. Candor are holding, and she is superintendent of the Sunday school and conducts a teachers’ training class. She writes recently: “ There never before was so great an interest in things spir­ itual nor so many seeking the Bible and instruction. Many come to the house for Bibles and tracts. Sometimes they are traveling men and gladly distribute the literature though they are scarcely Christians. Mr. Williams and Mr. Candor have a class of over twenty young men who are studying to fit themselves for church membership.”

SYRIA. The people of Syria and the missionary force there suf­ fered many severe losses this past year in the passing of true and tried workers into the glories of eternal life. None strikes us more keenly than the death of Miss Emily Bird, whose beautiful life and work were the joy of all who knew her. Her mother, who has been beloved and reverenced by us all for the fifty-eight years she has labored in Syria, leaned on this last member of her family, in her home, to such an extent that we have been uplifted by the faith that has carried this stricken mother through this deep grief. Miss Bird died on August 14 last, after an illness of five months with Malta fever. Mrs. Bird spent the winter with friends in Beirut. Mrs. Doolittle in Sidon continues with unflagging ear­ nestness and perseverance to carry on all her varied labors in the Master’s service. Sidon Seminary began the year with a full corps of native teachers, all graduates of the school, Miss Brown being in charge, assisted by a Scotch lady during Miss Law’s absence on furlough. In December one of the teachers died, the first death in the school since it was established in 1860. She was a faithful, conscientious teacher, whose place it was impossible to fill, but a recent graduate came to teach by the day, and the others willingly took up extra burdens of teaching and responsibility. While 59 the religious tone of the school was not as high as in other years, the missionary society had pleasant and profitable meetings. At the close of the school year the society had nearly $65 in the treasury, part of which was sent to Mr. Edward Ford for work in Africa. Mrs. Doolittle sends a most interesting report of a new hymnal, which will be in general use among missionaries working for Arabic­ speaking people, the Church Missionary Society uniting with others in its preparation. Miss Hunting has been assisted, in Miss LaGrange’s ab­ sence, first by Mrs. Potter, whose little son died at Christ­ mas time, which was a great grief to all the school, and since then by Miss Eddy. Several Moslems were among the 191 girls under instruction in this school. While there were numbers of evidences of spiritual life, there was no general awakening. At the opening of school last fall most precious were the testimonials of light carried by the pupils during vacation. Miss Hunting will not be connected with Tripoli School next year, but has been assigned by the mission to evan­ gelistic work of a personal nature with women and girls. Mrs. Nicol writes that the health of this family has been excellent and that they are extremely happy in the work, and find much that is lovable in the people among whom they work. The first converts from the Meena, the part of the city in which the Nicols lived when they first went to Syria, were received during the year. The people of that vicinity are very difficult to reach, and even Syrian mission­ aries who keep their courage under such trying circum­ stances almost despaired of these people. Mrs. Bird writes of Mrs. N icol: “ She is a devoted mother and home-maker, a stimulating example to Syrian women who have so much to learn in that line. The dear children are helpers, too, in showing what tender care and Christian training can do for even little girls.” MISSIONARIES SUPPORTED BY THE YOUNG PEOPLE AND CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR SOCIETIES.

Four of the missionaries supported by the Young People and Christian Endeavor societies have been at home on furlough this year. Dr. Alexander S. Wilson, of Kodoli, India, had to return to America during the past summer because of illness. He is recovering rapidly in Colorado. Rev. Charles F. Bernheisel and Rev. Charles Clark, both of Korea, are at home after ten and eight years, respectively, of service in the foreign field. Rev. W. G. McClure, of Bangkok, Siam, is ready now to return to that distant land where he has served for twenty-five years. He has been at home for a year. These four missionaries have been, and are, spending their rest period in visiting societies and churches in our territory to stimulate them to greater in­ terest and inspire them to do more than they have ever done for the cause they so much love. Surely no estimate can be made of the amount of good that is thus being done. Dr. James McKean returned to his beloved Laos in Sep­ tember, leaving Mrs. McKean in this country. He is back at work in Chieng Mai, where he is so much interested in the vaccination of the people. This year 8,000 vaccinations are reported. He also inaugurated the work that is being done for the lepers, and is now building cottages for them to live in on the island which has been given him for a ...-per hospital. In Chili we have Rev. James F. Garvin, who is touring the small towns and villages, circulating and selling reli­ gious literature. This year $2,000 worth has been sold. While Mr. Garvin is doing this very necessary itinerating work, Rev. James H. McLean has had charge of all the mission work in the great city of Santiago, including the oversight of the Avenida Matta Church. They are at present experiencing a veritable revival among the native Christians of that city. Rev. Wm. Booth, of Chefoo, China, is in the midst of the plague district. They have had to close the schools and send the children to their homes. In spite of all the un­ easiness incident to the danger they are in, he reports that 61 the young people about them are in a very healthy religious condition, and they are therefore much encouraged. The danger of infection is, of course, exceedingly great, al­ though they are taking all precautions possible. Rev. A. G. McGaw, of Etah, India, is in an almost over­ whelming position because of the masses which are coming in to them to learn of the new religion. They feel their inability to cope with the amount of work to be done in the station, and in itinerating the surrounding country. May the young people in our societies hold up the hands of our own missionaries, this year as never before, by ear­ nest prayer and generous gifts.

62 REPORT OF HOME SECRETARIES

Like those before whom serried columns have passed in martial review, we have been watching the soldiers from the outposts that encircle this earth of ours. Each country in its turn has shown us Christ’s love and power to save. Our hearts have burned within us, and we have exclaimed, “ Truly, this is the Son of God!” During the past year the meetings at Room 48 have been most helpful, the speakers spiritual and inspiring, and we have been kept in close touch with the various stations by hearing, by word of mouth from many who came direct from their various fields. To an increasing number, Friday morning means Room 48 with all its uplifting power. After a service of two years our Field Secretary, Miss Myers, felt it necessary to lay down the duties of her office. While with us she made a large number of friends who re­ gretted her decision to resign. Mrs. Engstrom, our new Field Secretary, has already shown her ability, even in the short time she has been with us, and we feel confident will duplicate throughout our entire territory the wonderful suc­ cess she has had in Iowa. During the past year God has dealt kindly with the mem­ bers of our Board. Only one of our number was and is not, because God took her into that upper and better King­ dom where she now sees Him face to face. Mrs. F. G. Farmer was active and helpful as a manager of the Board of the Northwest, and her place will be hard to fill. Colo­ rado will greatly miss Mrs. Farmer’s faithful and effective work.

SYNODICAL As the year closes with reports from CORRESPOND- synodical societies that form the con- ENCE stituency of our Board, we are filled with gratitude for results attained. There has been an in­ creasingly large amount of correspondence required during these months, with some changes in the officers of several 63 societies and each new leader very much in earnest about being fully informed in all details of her field. The sugges­ tion of the Golden Jubilee of Missions found our women ready to respond to the plan of Jubilee meetings that should present the cause of missions in a new and forcible way across the whole continent, and leave no corner of the country unenlightened or unapproached. The synodical letters and reports are a Jubilate, and every State in accord gives out the message that never has the interest been so deep, the gifts so increased. It has been a year of rare opportunity for united service, and the various synodical societies have gladly shared each other’s problems and sought together their solution. These synodical secretaries, in order to be of mutual help, insti­ tuted a Round Robin letter, which received a welcome as it grew and progressed, and counsel was gained, methods dis­ cussed, and views advanced on lines of work in which all were alike interested. The Emergency Fund, for missionaries on furlough, was presented to the societies early in the year, and we hope the ingathering of the funds will prove the hearty co-operation in the plan. As last year had an excess of mission- VISITATION aries on furlough in this territory, so this year there has been a scarcity, and the secretary of visitation has been compelled to say, “ There is no one available” to many requests for a speaker. The resignation of Miss Myers as our Field Secretary in De­ cember made the work more difficult, but since Mrs. J. P. Engstrom has been engaged to take the place her time and strength have been taxed to the utmost. Many Jubilee meet­ ings in Iowa and presbyterial meetings in Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois have had the help of our new Field Secretary. Miss Grace Enright of India and under the Philadelphia Board, but studying at Moody Institute, Dr. Charles Clark of Korea, Miss McCoy of China, and Mrs. Van Hook of Persia have responded most graciously to the appeals of the societies. Our President, Mrs. Shaw, Mrs. Campbell and Miss Coulter of the Board and Mrs. Clarke o f the office have visited presbyterial meetings in Michigan and Wiscon­ 64 sin and most sincere thanks are extended to all these work­ ers who have given of their time and strength so willingly. LETTERS AND Work, effective work, cannot be ade- INFORMATION quately stated in mere figures. Imagine defining a life as representing so many heart beats. Living accomplishment, true worth, God com­ muning power, these are not to be reckoned in numerals. The mere statement that 4,010 letters have been distributed means incalculably more than the numbers indicate. These figures do not include the number of pages mimeographed or type-written. These letters have annihilated space and have brought the societies receiving them into actual vision of the fields already white to the harvest. By means of these messages from the front, those destined to stay at home have seen the mission work as though present. During the past year I have had personal CANDIDATES interviews and correspondence with 72 young women about entering upon for­ eign mission work. Since the beginning of this year five have already gone to their new homes ; Miss Lena B. Ruchti, of Wheaton, 111., to India; Miss Alma Dodds, a nurse, of Wheaton, Minn., to China ; Miss Bessie Allen, of Galesburg, 111., to Pèrsia ; Miss Eunice Kingsbury, of Stillman Valley, 111., to Africa, as the wife of Mr. Herbert Hoisington; Miss Evelyn Dose, of Davenport, Iowa, to Brazil, as the wife of Rev. Harold Anderson. Under appointment are Mrs. Jane Corbett Goheen, of Franklin, Ind., to India ; Dr. Edna Orcutt, o f . Colorado Springs, Colo., to Persia; Miss Mary McDonald, of Wa- verly, Iowa, to Japan ; Miss Elizabeth Christie, of Villisca, Iowa, and Miss Verna Eick of South Dakota, to Africa; Miss Mary R. Thompson, of Jacksonville, 111., to Brazil, as the wife of Rev. Charles Carrier ; Miss Jessie Kennedy, of Craig, Neb., to Guatemala, as the wife of Rev. L. P. Sullen- berger; Miss Mary Woodsmall, of Colorado Springs, Colo., to India, as the wife of Mr. Mark Eldridge; Miss Bernice Archer, of Hanover, Ind., to China, as the wife of Mr. Kenneth Thompson ; Miss Helen Strange, of Grand Lodge, Mich., to China, as the wife of Rev. Paul Allured; Miss Ruby C. Cook, of Rushville, Neb., to the Philippines, as the wife of Mr. James Eskridge; Mrs. E. R. DeWitt, of Chi­ 65 cago, 111., to Persia; Miss Harriet Pollard, of Pueblo, Colo., and Miss Blanche Stevens, of Casselton, N. D., to Korea; Miss Mildred Hartwig, a nurse, of Chicago, 111., to Africa; Miss Elizabeth M. Evans, Huron, S. D., to India; Miss Louise Keach, of Dallas, Texas, to Africa; Miss Roberta Brown, of Waukesha, Wis., to Africa; Mrs. Abbie Miller Ogilvie, Oak Park, 111., to China; Miss Alice Ellinwood, Madison, Wis., to Siam. Twelve others are awaiting ap­ pointment. This has surely been a jubilee in the number of mission­ aries sent out under this Board.

ADOPTION AND The year of April, 1910, to April, 1911, SUPPORT OF has not marked as many new adoptions MISSIONARIES as we should like to record. This is due in large measure to the fact that all extra effort this year has been expended on the special Jubilee fund. The year has been marked, also, by apparent back-sliding among the C. E. pledges. This seeming backsliding is due to the fact that many C. E. Societies have assumed pledges larger than they have been able to carry, a condition which we have tried to remedy this year. A few of the C. E. missionaries have been dropped from the list in order that the societies may concentrate on a smaller number and make a cleaner record. The brighter side, which cannot appear on the books, is seen in the fact that many C. E. societies are mak­ ing very special efforts to fill pledges heretofore unfilled, rather than give up the‘missionaries under their care. During the year the salary of Mrs. W. Ernest Weld, of Allahabad, has been assumed by the First Presbyterian Church, of Aurora, 111.; Mrs, E. L. Johnson, of Peking, has been adopted by the Young People of North Dakota, in the place of Mr. Jones, who was compelled to give up his work on account of ill-health; one-half of the salary of Mrs. Weston Johnson, of Sapporo, has been assumed by the Muncie Presbyterial Society; Miss Margo Lee .Lewis, of Korea, who was adopted last year by the Madison Pres­ byterial Society, was transferred to the Stewart Fund, and the Madison Society takes Mrs. Charles Williams, of Bogo­ ta, in her place; the half of the salary of Mrs. Alex. Pie­ ters, of Seoul, has been taken by the Petoskey Presbyterial Society; the Montana Synodical Society has assumed the 66 salary of Miss Lena B. Ruchti, just gone to India; Mrs. John Genso, formerly Miss Rittgers, has been re-adopted by the Board of the Northwest; Miss Isabelle Ward, of Japan, has become a Westminster Guild missionary; Mrs. Charles Crooks, of Siam, was given up by the C. E.’s of the Rushville Presbyterial Society to a Kansas City church, which wished to support both Dr. and Mrs. Crooks, and Miss Elizabeth Allen, just arrived in Teheran, was taken by the Rushville societies. Miss Sherman of Japan, Dr. Gregg of Guatemala, and Dr. Wallace of Mexico, have been given up by the C. E. societies which were not meeting their pledges. The Board has also assumed the support of some twenty missionaries, newly appointed to the work, whose names will be found in the report of the Secretary for Candidates.

SPECIAL Station plan of giving, when ex- OBTECTS plained to societies and individuals de­ siring to designate gifts during the past year, gained some friends, while others could not get be­ yond their own original point of view. The wisdom of the plan was conceded by many and several went so far as to say, they deplored any designated gifts, since they felt that the Board and the missionaries on the field know best how the money should be spent. However, to meet the demand for specified gifts the Station plan was adopted some time ago by the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church in U. S. A. and the mission stations, though every missionary may not be convinced of its wisdom, because of the desire for special gifts to be used in individual work. The testimony of a missionary in China who received a special gift for his work, which gift he was asked by the Board to apply on the regular budget of his station, rather than to some object outside of the budget, looks at the matter from all sides, hence is illuminating. “ My wife and I concur .heartily in the Board’s plan. It is sometimes disappointing to the plans of the indi­ vidual missionary, but it conserves the general good. We agree with your viewpoint. The supporting of in­ dividual mission pupils and Bible women and evange­ lists by Sunday schools and individuals is a sort of 67 coddling and coaxing makeshift plan for people who have not risen to realize the privilege of duty for its own sake, loving people out of sight, or realizing their worth because of the infinite inherent value with which the sacrifice of Christ has sealed their souls.” While the Station Plan does away with the supporting of special pupils, Bible women, or evangelists, it per­ mits the money to go to the work of a specified station in such a manner that every pupil, every Bible woman and every evangelist receives aid. The secretary wishes to thank the presbyterial treas­ urers who responded to her appeal for help in eliminating mistakes from the “Pledges to Special Objects,” as pub­ lished in the Annual Report of the Board. Early last fall the Jubilee anniversary spirit and pur­ pose began to sweep over the country. Our Board joined in the effort, and promised to try to raise $50,000 as our proportion of the $1,000,000 asked. The eleven synodical societies endeavored to raise the following amounts: Colorado ...... $ 2,500 Montana ...... 500 Illinois ...... 20,500 Nebraska ...... , 2,500 Indiana ...... 900 Iowa ...... 1,000 Michigan ...... 2,500 Minnesota , , ...... 5,500 The year will not close until January 1, 1912, and we have more than $20,000 of the desired amount contributed and more than half of our year left. W e cannot refrain from speaking the appreciation we feel for the splendid work of our synodical officers.

MISSION °utl0°k for the future of mission STUDY study is very bright. Never has there been such a widespread interest in this deeper study of the field as there is today. More and more are we realizing the inadequacy of our former methods of study and are striving after a higher educa­ tional standard as applied to the study of missions. The mission study department of our Board through synodical and presbyterial secretaries has been working 68 toward this end during the past year. It has kept in constant touch with the educational department of the Assembly’s Board, and can report an advance in number of classes and we believe in the efficiency of the class workers. Enrollment cards have been issued this year offer­ ing to provide free helps for study classes using the United Study textbooks in class work, the educational department in New York having for a number of years furnished such helps for all Young People’s Missionary Movement textbooks. Through the use of these cards, the files in New York, and the blanks sent out in March, we are able to report the following classes, which is an advance in all but two states: Colorado, 20; Illi­ nois, 124; Indiana, 56; Iowa, 65 ; Michigan, 39; Minne­ sota, 25; Montana, 4; Nebraska, 31; North Dakota, 8; South Dakota, 1; Wisconsin, 26, making a total of 399 classes, exclusive of Westminster Guild classes, as against 266 of last year, a gain of 133 in one year. In October Mr. B. Carter Millikin conducted a series of normal classes in Chicago and suburbs, creating much enthusiasm and giving great help to the work. “ Western Women in Eastern Lands” has been used almost exclusively as a text-book this year, being the most popular book of the united study series. The sales have amounted to: Western Women in Eastern Lands, 3,000; other text-books, including young people’s books, 1,319; children’s text-books, 283; total, 4,692.

The year has been one of progress in LITERATURE the literature department. The inter­ est and enthusiasm is steadily increas­ ing along all lines. The leaflet subscription plan is largely used, and we would urge each society to try this excellent method for securing the latest information from our mission fields. At the public meetings held throughout our territory much free literature was dis­ tributed, and judging from many letters received, it was greatly appreciated. The largest numbers of subscribers to our different publications reported in any one society are as follows: W oman’s W ork, 140; Over Sea and. Land, 92; The Year Book of Prayer* 110. allsappa-eraarte the’dose relationship between knowledge and effort:- May the standard reached above appeal to each one of us. Let us not rest until we have aroused all the women in our churches to realize the honor put upon them in being helpers in winning the world for Christ. Our Leaflet Committee has been active PUBLICATIONS this year, publishing 24 leaflets, three of these being reprints. The titles of these follow: “ Guatemala in Transition,” by Mrs. W- B. Allison; “Program for Women’s Societies,” (Syria), by Mrs. N. D. Pratt; “Program for Women’s Socie­ ties,” (China), by Mrs. Samuel Dickey; “ Wonder Stories,” (Syria), by Mrs. N. D. Pratt; “Wonder Stories,” (China), by Mrs. J. M. Coulter; “Wonder Stories,” (Af­ rica), by Mrs. C. W. Egan; “Wonder Stories,” (India), by Miss M. P. Halsey; “Systematic Giving,” by Mrs. F. R. Granger; “The Story of One Afternoon,” by Mrs. Minnie M. Gray; “Eleanor Chesnut,” by Robert !E. Speer, D. D .; “ Presbyterian Women in Eastern Lands,” by Mrs. M. D. Hardin; “ Olir Stewardship of Person­ ality,” by Mrs. M. M. Kingery; “As I Have, Loved You,” (reprint) ; “A Board Catechism,” (reprint) ; “How Is Our Money Expended,” (reprint); “Christian En­ deavor Program,” (April to November); “The Bible Conception of Missions,” and “Our Opportunity,” the last two being Westminster Guild programs. To this list may be added a leaflet printed for W est­ minster Guild Circles, and the following free leaflets: “For Remembrance” (a jubilee leaflet); “Foreign Mis­ sion Study for Children,” and a “ Foreign Missions Ex­ tension Department” leaflet, slips sent by our Field Sec­ retary and our “Catalogue of Literature.” Besides the foregoing, we have published a set of “posters,” picturing medical and educational work in Syria, and have added to the titles in our catalogue the names of 59 leaflets bought from other Boards. Ten of these latter are free leaflets. We have used a larger number of Year Books than before, but are not yet satisfied with their sale. Surely, in ‘our large territory, more than 2,800 shpuld be sold 70 in a year. W ill not the secretaries of literature make a special effort this year to see that the sale of this little pamphlet is more nearly commensurate with its value? Many of our constituents are disappointed that the reports from Room 48, which occupied a full p^-ge in the Interior and gave our missionaries on the field, as well as readers of the paper throughout the Northwest, a feeling of familiarity with the workings of our Board, are now so much abbreviated-. W e regret this change deeply but can appreciate the reason for it. The In­ terior is now merged with The Westminster into The Continent, and the scope of the paper being enlarged, it is thought by the editors that one Board is not en­ titled to so much space in the new journal. Miss Mc- Calla continues to supply important items to its mis­ sionary page. Our financial year occupied a year and two weeks, ending March 15, 1911, and we have a creditable balance on the right side to report. Our total receipts during this period for study literature, leaflets, Year Books, and all, have been $3,450.62. Disbursements have been $3,259.68, leaving a balance of $190.94. This is not a large profit, but the object of our Publication Department is not to make money, but to disseminate a knowledge of missions.

WOMAN’S Our magazine this year has had those WORK. crisp editorial notes which keep us abreast of the times the world over, and the brighest and most inti­ mate of missionary letters, also wonderful accounts of the World’s Conference at Edinburgh, and of the National Woman’s Jubilee in America. W e have published a map showing the geographical boundaries in the United States of the six W omen’s Boards of Foreign Missions. Our beloved editor has this year rounded out twenty- five years of devoted and most acceptable service for W oman’s Work. There has been a steady increase in the subscriptions, and during those 25 years the list has doubled. W e have increased this year by 477, the total subscriptions this year being 24,192, the total from the Northwest Board 6,161. We have been able to pay all Tl expenses and have a small surplus in the treasury, which will grow smaller in the summer months. It seems almost incredible that any woman can feel informed about the work of women for foreign missions in our own church without reading- Woman’s W ork for Woman. OVER SEA editorial committee of Over Sea iH n _ and Land reports active effort in its behalf. -New and attráctive methods have been used to make the magazine helpful and inter­ esting. The limited means at the disposal of the com­ mittee handicaps the work. In the annual report of 1910, it was urged that we definitely set ourselves to the task of raising the sub­ scription list of this monthly periodical for our children. The year has passed and 1911 is here. Would that we could report an increase, but the falling oif continues. As a Board we make ample provision for all other de­ partments of our organized work. Do we not owe it to our children, to the editorial staff and committee of this magazine, and to our church and Lord, to sustain more efficiently this work to which we are pledged? m s llO N S What has the Foreign Missions Extension EXTENSION Department to show for its first year’s DEPARTMENT, work? Its report is the record of be­ ginnings; the preparing of a leaflet explaining the work, and its distribution with an explanatory letter to all the synodical presidents and secretaries and local societies in our territory, together with the getting ready of the four booklets to be used by members of the department. Although there were difficulties in the way of pushing the new department as much as it deserves, nevertheless there have been requests for samples and whole sets of lit­ erature from all the states in our territory with the excep­ tion of Montana and the two Dakotas. To be sure, in two instances only one society in the state sent for the litera­ ture, yet to have secured a hearing merely is the seed sown, and we are hoping for a rich harvest in the coming year. CHILDREN’S The work of the children’s and young BANDS AND women’s societies has gone on quietly Y. W. S. during the past year. The young women 72 of our church are finding the Westminster Guild organiza­ tion more and more attractive and many are adopting its plans. A few societies, however, find the regular mission­ ary meeting best suited to their needs. The principal aim in planning for the children’s work this year has been to prepare a program for mission study and to select an object for the gifts which might be adapted to all children’s societies aside from the Junior Endeavorers, the purpose in view being to unite these organizations and to provide a simple method for conducting the meetings and for the use of inexperienced leaders. In July, the programs and helps arranged in envelopes for monthly meetings, were ready for distribution. A copy of the pro­ gram was then sent to all synodical and presbyterial presi­ dents, as well as the synodical young people’s secretaries that they might be familiar with the plan and aid in intro­ ducing it. In the packages of leaflets sent freon headquar­ ters o f the Board, copies were enclosed and in every way possible they were scattered broadcast over our territory. A special system was suggested for the offerings, whereby individual members or societies might have a share in the mission station assigned to the children’s work. Many in­ quiries have come to the office and to the Band secretary, for literature suitable for children’s meetings. These spe­ cial programs have always been recommended, but it is yet to be ascertained whether this effort to get the children in line in a united movement is “ love’s labor lost,” or whether the suggestions are being tried and are proving helpful. Perhaps it is too soon to expect results. It is certain, however, that at present the Bands in ex­ istence are not in close touch with the regularly appointed overseers through whom alone it is possible for the Board secretary to know them. Within the past two months let­ ters have been sent to all the presbyterial young people’s secretaries, asking if the Bands were under their care. There seems to be a different arrangement of work in the different presbyterial societies, which complicates the search for information. Therefore the question was asked: “ Are the Bands under your care and how many are there in your presbytery ?” A few have answered that this is not their work, but that they thought there were very few Bands in their presbytery. The majority of replies have disclosed 73 that this is the case in many presbyteries. In the fall one secretary reported 8 new Bands and a promise of two more. In last year’s report we find that 200 societies had sent con­ tributions to the Board. We trust the summing up this year will reveal an increase of these organizations. Many attractive helps for interesting the little ones may be found at headquarters and definite plans and suggestions will soon be ready for the coming year.

While there has been no marked increase Y. P. S. C. E. in the amount of gifts or the number of of societies this year, there is much of encouragement and promise in the work among young peo­ ple. The enthusiasm and devotion of the secretaries is at high tide, and their faithful promptness in reporting has been most helpful. Colorado has aimed “to place every C. E. society in the Synod in touch with our organization.” An admirable card giving the “ missionary standard for young people” has been circulated and practically all societies now give through denominational channels. New work has been started in Cheyenne Presbytery and there is hope of a Y. P. secre­ tary there soon. Dr. Wilson, whose health is much im­ proved, is now visiting among the societies. Illinois shows encouraging conditions. Monthly mission­ ary meetings are the rule in all societies, some dividing their members into groups for study during these meetings, and 35 mission study classes are reported. Rev. Chas. Clark, home on furlough, has spoken in many places stimulating the young people. Rushville Presbytery members have adopted Miss Bessie Allen, Persia, as their missionary. Indiana rejoices in a greater interest in Junior work, with its promise for the future. It regrets the diversion of much C. E. money to C. E. rather than Presbyterian missionary work. Pastors «often seem ignorant of the rela­ tion of the young people to our Board. Iowa has no study classes reported, but mentions five stu­ dent volunteers. Rev. W- G. McClure made helpful visits to three presbyteries this year while on his furlough. Michigan has had an earnest year’s work, supporting and becoming acquainted with Mr. and Mrs. Booth. A Presbyterian C. E. Union in Detroit Presbytery has been 74 a source of strength and earnestness of several new sec­ retaries gives promise of greater things in the future. Minnesota continues strongly interested in Tokyo, and mission study classes flourish. Montana has taken a step forward by deciding to assist the Synodical Society in the support of Miss Riichti, recently sent to India. Nebraska is working for denominational rallies at C. E. conventions, finding that they furnish the best opportunity for instructing the young people in regard to their rela­ tion to the Board and their missionary obligations. South Dakota feels the effect financially of the recent failure of crops, but the earnest secretary is working hope­ fully to develop the missionary spirit in all the societies of her wide territory. Wisconsin has a new Y. P. secretary who is carrying on a vigorous campaign to secure co-operation among the presbyterial secretaries, the adoption of definite pledges by societies, and intimate acquaintance with their mis­ sionaries and their work. The common needs in all synods are leaders, the co-oper- ation of pastors, and the intelligent sympathy of the women’s societies. Can we not at least pledge them the latter this year ? wTTSTMmsTFT? After four >rears of organized activity, WESTMiNSTliK Westminster Guild is abie to report a reg- GULLD. istered total of 206 Chapters and Circles. While this means a gain of 52 during the past year, it also means, unfortunately, a loss of a number of our old organi­ zations from various causes. Some have been combined with other societies, some have disbanded because of lack of leadership, while others have literally moved away. Pledges toward the support of our Home and Foreign work have been received from 134 Chapters and Circles, while 40 have made contributions without the pledge. Other large amounts have been contributed by individual organiza­ tions for special objects, such as their Church Parish Abroad, missionaries personally known to the girls, pledges assumed before becoming Chapters of the Guild, and local home mission work, but it is impossible to estimate the amounts accurately from our meager information. According to the plan accepted last year by the National 75 Westminster Guild Council, three young women in fotfeign lands have been adopted as Westminster Guild missionaries, to be supported by the gifts from all the Chapters. Our own Board supplied the first one, Miss Isabella Mae Ward, of Tokyo; Philadelphia Society gave the second, Miss Cath­ arine McCune, of Korea; and the third, Miss Myrtle Ducret, of India, came from the Southwest Board. Our Chapters and Circles have contributed $1,818.82 of the salaries of these missionaries. During the year general letters from or about these missionaries have been prepared by the Phil­ adelphia member of the Council for distribution by the Boards among their Chapters. They have all been full of interest, but the last one was found to be so incapable of condensation to mimeograph requirements, that it is to be printed in leaflet form. The girls are becoming greatly in­ terested in these young women as well as in those for whom they are working. At Christmas time post card greetings were sent to them by many Chapters, and preparations are being made to send boxes this summer for the next Christ^ mas celebrations. Four new programs have been offered this year. “ Our Opportunity,” based on Mrs. Montgomery’s book; ‘‘West­ ern Women in Eastern Lands,” written by Mrs. A. L. Berry; “ Cuba and Porto Rico” ; “ The Bible Conception of Missions” ; and for Circles an especially fine outline for the study of India, by Mrs. Samuel Dickey. Altho our ideals are still far beyond our achievements we believe that real advance has been made, and that more and more Westminster Guild is coming to stand for the all around development of our splendid Presbyterian young women, broadening their horizon through the study o f Foreign Missions, making them better and more intelli­ gent citizens through its courses on Home Missions, deep­ ening their spiritual life by means of the Bible studies, and giving many opportunities for the expression and enjoyr ment of the social side of life.

The last fiscal year began March 1, 1910, OFFICE anC* cl° set* March 15, 1911, thus giving us a working year of twelve and a half months. During that year mail was received in the Office as follows: Letters, 8,095; post cards, 1,372. This mail 76 comes from all parts of our own land and from many for­ eign countries. Some of it is mailed out again without being opened, to members of the Board or other persons whose mail may be sent under our care, but by far the greater part of it is opened in the office and receives atten­ tion there. We sent out 3,500 letters. 3,521 post cards and 13,344 packages of literature. This latter item includes 2,984 An­ nual Reports sent at one time to all Synodical and Presby- terial officers, secretaries of local societies, life members and missionaries. In addition we have forwarded 275 sub­ scriptions to “Woman’s Work,” 25 to “ Over Sea and Land,” 11 to “ Missionary Review” and 46 to “ Everyland.” In addition to regular correspondence, many missionary letters have been copied and sent out, also several hun­ dreds of circular letters and 1,548 pages of circulars and missionary letters have been typewritten, 9,432 pages mimeographed and 5,760 letters and circulars have been distributed. Several months ago the Board decided to make all former life members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Board of Missions who dwell within the territory of the Board of the Northwest life members of this board. It was found that 56 of these life members are within our territory and certificates and badges were sent to them and their names were enrolled with the other life members of the Board of the Northwest. We trust that we missed no one on whom this honor should be conferred, but if we did we will be glad to know it and the certificates can yet be sent. Six thousand miles traveled, 250 ad- dresses made since Jan. 15, does not in . * in any manner describe the work of the Field Secretary. Presbyterial societies visited, five in Min­ nesota, two in Illinois, one each in Indiana and Iowa, besides a two months’ tour of four other presbyterial societies, gives but a faint idea of the large numbers of Presbyterian women reached by the Jubilee note of 1911. The future shows large fields of usefulness; pray that strength and wisdom may be given for service.

77 REPORT OF SYNOD!CAL SECRETARIES

COLORADO.

M r s . M a r y B. S t o n e . In reviewing the year just closed the Synodical Society of Colorado realizes that God’s blessing has rested upon it specially in rare privileges enjoyed and new opportunities of service presented. Our Synodical meeting was inspiring, the devotional fea­ ture being conducted throughout by Mrs. J. W. Homer of Denver, who used as her theme “ Knowledge, the Keystone of Service.” It is impossible at this time to procure satisfactory re­ ports from our presbyterial societies, but the membership campaign is being pushed with vigor and it is hoped also that the ten per cent advance can be realized. An encour­ aging feature of the work in our synod is that done by the Westminster Guild. We have now 21 chapters in active operation. The “ News Letter,” so ably edited, is also an. aggressive feature of our work. Our synodical officers have set the women of Colorado a high standard in the policy presented and adopted by our Synodical Society. A few leading principles of this policy are as follows: Motto: Every church a missionary society; e^ery woman an active member. .Aim: To realize the personal responsibility of every member toward this end. Budget : That we endeavor to increase our offerings ten percent. Prayer: That the power of definite and persistent prayer be deeply impressed upon the women of the churches. School of Missions: That every local society be urged to send a representative delegation to the school of mis­ sions. 78 Information: That no woman can rightfully discharge her individual responsibility in the great mission work com­ mitted to the Presbyterian church who does not keep her­ self informed of the needs and the progress of her own denomination, and she cannot do this unless she reads and studies the current literature provided. We cannot close this report without mentioning the splen­ did Jubilee meeting held in Denver in October. We were specially honored in having our president, Mrs. Silverthom, chosen by the Board to represent the Jubilee meetings held in its territory. The women of our Synodical Society were also pleased in having a part in sending Mrs. Silverthorn, as the Presbyterian representative from Colorado, to the Jubilee meeting in New York. W e feel that new life and inspiration has come to our society and that our women are catching a clearer vision of the bigness and dignity of our work.

ILLINOIS.

M r s . S. O. Loughridge. Jubilee notes from the various organizations are making a jubilant chime, the melody of which must carry to the Board of the Northwest our warm congratulations for the mercies of the past, the gladness of the present, with a hint of goodly courage for the future. Every one of the twelve presbyterial societies of Illinois has made an advance in gifts this year. Jubilee meetings have been many among the various auxiliaries, Jubilee ses­ sions have been the'feature of most of the presbyterial gatherings, Jubilee offerings have helped to swell this beau­ tiful total. The whole amount given by Illinois women and young people amounts to $55,622, a gain of $9,136. The list of missionaries and special speakers who have aided by visiting the various auxiliaries and presbyteries is too long to enumerate, but it, must be a great joy to them to know of the successful achievement to which they had so generously contributed. ' Nine, new organizations are added to our list, and twenty- three societies claim a place on our Roll of Honor, every woman communicant in her church being a contributing 79 member of the Missionary Society. This is our aim for Illinois; may it come in this day and generation. “ The young people have not been weary in well doing,” so their secretary writes. “ It has been proven that they are eager and willing to do when they know; and the wom­ en’s societies in various Presbyteries are actively interested in assisting them to work intelligently.” The total of their gifts reached the cheering sum of $6,227, an advance of $931 over last year. The Secretary of Literature sounds a minor note, a loss in subscriptions to “ Woman’s Work,” and to “ Over Sea and Land,” but the “Year Books of Prayer” show about the same figures as those of last year, while a greater interest is taken in the study books and leaflets. Peoria had the great privilege of entertaining the Synod- ical Society. The watchword, “ Fellowship,” was empha­ sized in the devotional services, both by Mrs. Bangs of Chicago, w%ose theme was “ Fellowship with the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost,” and by Mrs. B. Y. George of Elmwood in the “ Fellowship of Service and Joy.” These with the Open Parliament, the Notes of the Edinburg Con­ ference, and the two addresses of Miss Bertha Johnson, were all most satisfying and stimulating. Two of our most efficient officers have been called higher during the year. Mrs. Handwerk, president of Ottawa Presbyterial Society was one with a talent for leadership that made her an untold blessing; Mrs. Mills, president emeritus of Rock River Society, has had a long life of usefulness, her presence and prayers being a benediction and a power. The Illinois Synodical Society is thirty years young. It is grateful for the privilege of work accomplished; the out­ look spurs it on, that much yet to be possessed may be se­ cured, a triumph for our King.

INDIANA. Miss E m m a A. D o n n e l l . The inspiring synodical meeting at Terre Haute in Octo­ ber impressed the fact that we are but stewards, and “Ye are stewards and not your own” was the thought in devo­ tional services and addresses, and the same topic of stew­ 80 ardship has had an important place on every presbyterial program this spring. This realization o f being stewards only has no doubt had much to do with the success in se­ curing the Jubilee offering. Our Jubilee apportionment seemed very large and looked almost impossible at first, but the task was accepted as a labor of love and God is making “ the impossible possible.” One presbyterial society has already paid more than its apportionment, another has pledges to complete its amount and most of the others are well on their way toward the desired totals. One presbyterial society is to have Jubilee day on May 7, when pastors are to preach on the subject, and they hope in this whirlwind cam­ paign to raise their full amount. Indiana has already paid more than half her apportionment and expects to have all by next October. The work has not been easy, but it has aroused interest, brought new mem­ bers, and strengthened our faith in God and in ourselves as co-laborers with Him. We are glad to say that our gifts to regular work in the past quarter, during this Jubilee campaign, are the largest we have ever had, and our total for the year (not including Jubilee offering) is more than $3,500 increase over the total for the previous year. Helping things this year are the study classes, which are becoming more of a feature each year, and the splendid Summer School of Missions at Winona Lake, which our women are finding so beneficial in every way. Four of our presbyterial societies have county meet­ ings in their territory, Miss McCoy of Peking being the speaker in several of these. The usual plan is to have an all day session, each woman bringing her own lunch, the entertaining church providing coffee. By this arrangement any church, no matter how small, can have a meeting. These meetings are a stimulus to societies that are-not represented in the larger gatherings, and cannot be commended too highly.

IOWA. M r s . W. W. H a l e . “ In the morning sow thy seed and in the evening with­ hold not thine hand.” The vision of the task before us and 81 the individual and united responsibility toward it have, dur­ ing the past year, drawn synodical and presbyterial officers unusually close together in perfect harmony and oneness of purpose, so that the reports of our year’s endeavor have been awaited with great interest, and we are glad to say the results have not been disappointing. It is true that Des Moines, the city whose slogan is, “ Des Moines does things,” dropped out of the circuit of Jubilee meetings, but it was done because through a perfect knowledge of the situation, it was the thing to do, and all are heartily glad that “ Little Lincoln” saw her opportunity and benefited by it. As “ through a knothole can be seen the marching of the stars,” so through this brief report we hope it can be seen that Iowa’s zeal for her Master’s cause and devo­ tion to her leaders were not lacking, and we hope it may be seen that, although we cannot report one large enthusi­ astic Jubilee meeting, nevertheless the Jubilee spirit has swept through the Iowa Synodical Society with perhaps a wider influence in each society than would have been at­ tained by one central meeting. Iowa’s synodical officers re­ alized the. loss to our vital work in the loss of the Jubilee meeting at Des Moines, so at our synodical meeting plans were made and adopted for holding Jubilee meetings in all our presbyterial societies in January, and a committee of three was appointed to direct the work. This committee met early in December in Des Moines, our synodical president and half of our presbyterial presidents meeting with us. After a helpful conference' an informal reception was held by the ladies of the various missionary societies for the visiting officers and Mrs. Van Hook of Persia, who was passing through the city. In December thousands of bulle­ tins announcing the coming meetings, with plans and Jubi­ lee literature, were sent by our presbyterial presidents to every local society, together with, an “ Appeal for the Jubi­ lee Gift” written by our president, Mrs. Parsons, and a paper by our secretary of Literature, Mrs. Miller, on the “ Need for the Uplift of the Women in Non-Christian Lands.” As a result 104 meetings were held, in the larger towns all presbyterial societies uniting in one meeting. Even Des Moines had one, with Mrs. D. B. Wells for our speaker; outside speakers addressed many of these meetings, Mrs. Engstrom speaking at thirty of them, and other societies 82 which could not arrange for a meeting sent an offering; a Jubilee gift of $2,374 had been paid in by April 1st and mord is to follow. Such meetings cannot fail to have one other result, that of an awakened and increased interest, and we are glad that our presbyterial reports show it. There is an unusual inquiry concerning “ways and means and pledges,” “more of the spirit of prayer for missions,” more societies increasing their gifts, a number doubling their pledges and eight new societies have been organized, seven of our ten presbyterial societies have reported an increase in gifts to our regular objects, one, Ft. Dodge, gained $325 and Sioux City $278. Every presbytery made a Jubilee of­ fering, Iowa’s being the largest—$425, Corning coming next with $369. One of the uninterested women in Iowa presbytery gave $25, saying she did not wish to miss the opportunity, as she would never have the chance again. Sev­ eral presbyteries have been greatly benefited through tours made by Mrs. Engstrom, and wherever she has spoken the interest is quickened and resolves for better service made. As another evidence of increasing interest our secretary of literature reports an increase of subscriptions to “ Wom­ an’s Work” in every presbytery. The Synodical Society of Iowa stands second in copies of “Woman’s Work” taken and Fairfield Society, the home of our president, stands third among all the societies under the Board of the North­ west in “ Woman’s Work” subscriptions. Through the so­ licitous interest of Mrs. Parsons in the welfare and happi­ ness of our missionaries at home on furlough, Rest Haven has been established in the past year. To make this haven of rest possible Dr. and Mrs. Parsons gave the ground, which is beautifully situated at Fairfield adjoining the cam­ pus of Parsons College. Residences are to be built and fur­ nished through memorial and other gifts, for the use of mis­ sionaries at a nominal sum while at home resting. The first residence built is Lee Cottage and is now occupied by Rev. Graham Lee and family.- Rest Haven is of special interest to those under the Board of the Northwest, since it is the only place of residence for missionaries within its territory. In thus looking through the past year we feel that God has given the increase promised and we are ready to go forward attempting greater things for Him.

83 MICHIGAN.

Mrs. W . W . Wetmore. An inclination to gain more knowledge of missions, to learn more about the workers on the field and when this is possible to come into closer contact with them, seems to be a feature of the record of the past year. The mis­ sionary spirit is growing among the presbyterian women of Michigan and also among our young people. Our synodical meeting was held in Bay City last Oc­ tober, with a good attendance and much interest. Rev. and Mrs. J. N. Hayes o f Soochow were there and told of their work in an interesting way and Miss Bertha Johnson gave a stirring address upon work in India. We accepted the recommendations of the Board and pledged our best endeavors to raise the $4,000 for a gen­ eral fund in addition to the pledged salaries of our mis­ sionaries. Miss Annie Graves Adams, secretary of W est­ minster Guild, has done a good work in organizing chap­ ters, and Mrs. Fred B. Kitch is interesting the young people in Mr. and Mrs. W m. C. Booth of China, who have recently been adopted by the young people’s socie­ ties of our state. We have 17 missionaries that are supported wholly or in part by our woman’s societies, nine of whom are support­ ed by Detroit Presbyterial Society. Mrs. Calvin Mateer was able to be with us the latter part of the year, and her presence and loving words won all hearts, and our prayers went with her as she returned to her work in China. May our prayers also ascend for Miss Silver, who is now at a sanitarium, that she may soon recover health and strength. Miss Chase of Korea we hope to see while she is at home on furlough. We are also look­ ing forward with pleasure to the home-coming of Miss Emma Boehne, and of Mr. and Mrs. Booth. Our presbyterial records show that Detroit is doing fine work, all pledges having been met, the synodical apportionment raised and systematic and business meth­ ods used. The mid-winter meeting is an inspiration to all that attend and the annual meeting in April was hon­ ored by the presence and helpful words of the president. 84 of the Board, Mrs. John Balcom Shaw. Our sisters farthest away, in Lake Superior Presbyterial Society, send a most encouraging report. When we think of the great dis­ tances that they must travel to meet in a presbyterial gathering, often amid snow and ice, their growth and enthusiasm seem remarkable. Flint, Grand Rapids, Sag­ inaw, Lansing, Monroe and Petoskey, are all doing good work. Wherever the Jubilee has been celebrated, there have been large gatherings and much interest has been taken. W e look for good results through the Missionary Extension Department, in helping to interest the unin­ terested. It is quite evident that through faithful effort, prayer­ ful consecration of time and strength, and self-forgetful- ness on the part of individuals and societies, more has been accomplished than in previous years.

MINNESOTA. Mrs. F. A. McFarland. Each presbyterial society reports a gain in contribu­ tions, and together they have raised $1,823.24 toward the Jubilee fund. Throughout the state mission study classes have been formed, and there is a bright outlook for many more the coming year. The visit of Mrs. E. P. Engstrom to five of our pres­ byterial annual meetings aroused great interest in mis­ sions and the study of missions. Another inspiration to prayer and study was the address given by Mrsi. Mont­ gomery at the time of the Jubilee meeting in Minne­ apolis. Most encouraging reports have been received from all of the eight presbyterial societies, telling of increase in contributions, in number of societies, in interest and in Westminster Guild chapters and mission study classes. In one local society the members had increased their gifts five-fold and in another the gift of the year was doubled. That the coming year may be an educational as well as a giving and devotional one is the earnest intention of the Synodical Society of Minnesota, 85 ■^¿MONTANA, Mrs. 'C h as. S. Passmore. — All presbyterial societies show a large gain in gifts, a gain of 40 per cent for thé state, which is very encour­ aging. Three, of the presbyterial societies will hold spring meetings, a . step forward in which we should all rejoice, as these meetings mean a great deal. Another stride forward is that we have undertaken with the young people, to support a missionary in India, Miss Lena Ruchti, who sailed last fall and is now studying the language. W e watch eagerly for letters telling us of her work and our prayers and thoughts daily follow her. This means a large increase in gifts, but we must not fail, for it is God’s work. On account of great distances our synodical meetings are not as well attended as we wish they might be, but they are very helpful and a blessing. The Westminster Guild reports show some progress and we look for great things from them later, for they are interesting young women in missions that were uninterested before, from lack of knowledge. Many of our societies are adopting the pledge system with great success. Some of our faithful workers of the past have dropped out, but the work is being carried on very successfully under the leadership of our new presi­ dent, Mrs. H. S. Buell of Bozeman, who is very competent and we look for a prosperous year under her guidance. W e feel thankful that more of our women are becom­ ing interested in mission study classes, as it is surely good training, and if every church had one there would be more women alive and awake in mission work.

NEBRASKA. Mrs. W . V- A. Dodds. Another year has been crowned with His loving kind­ ness and tender mercies. Great things were wrought last year, whereof we were glad, but we stop, lost in wonder, when we begin to re­ count the things accomplished through His power in the year now closing. The numerous men’s meetings, missionary, brother­ hood, Y. M. C. A., all contributed to general awakening and uplift. And how was manifested the goodness of God in putting into the hearts of some of His hand­ maidens the idea of the Jubilee meetings, in helping them to develop and materialize plans, until from the Pacific to the Atlantic, throughout the length and breadth of the land, the meetings went on from victory to victory till the final climax in New York. The effort to gather a given number of dollars to make definite increase in the work on the foreign field was good and helpful in every way and many an auxiliary and presbyterial society that thought they were giving to the limit found new possibilities and rejoiced. But the impetus given to the work through quickened consciences, through the in­ spiration of great gatherings, contact with consecrated and enthusiastic leaders-, will be unending. In our own Synod steady progress has attended the work. At our Synodical meeting which immediately pre­ ceded the Jubilee in Omaha, there was good attendance and interest. Mrs. Mattox of China, Miss Upham of the Home Board, Miss Moore of Goodwill, S. D., Mr. and Mrs. Beith and Miss Chapin of Omaha Reservation were with us for our help. W e were forced to part with some of our faithful workers. Mrs. Stone, our President, re­ moved to another state. Mrs. J. B. Butter, for eight years Synodical President in Montana, was elected in her stead. Mrs. Butter is a sister of V. G. Gamble, formerly missionary on St. Lawrence Island and who with his wife and little daughter was drowned on their return in 1898 after furlough. With the true missionary instinct, large experience and many qualifications, we look for great progress in our Society in the near future under the direction of Mrs. Butter. Mrs. J. A. Elliott, after serving as Synodical Secre­ tary of Literature for twelve years, was obliged .on ac­ count of poor health to resign the office she had filled long, faithfully, and well. And so we go on, hoping, praying, achieving, for the Master, till He comes, acknowledging all His help 87 in the past, all the blessings of the present, full of as­ surance that His mercies shall endure..

NORTH DAKOTA. Mrs. A. J. Goodall. Although not able to report a financial increase this year, we can still rejoice that along many other lines we have made an advance, such as in interest, new societies, in study classes, and in the number of magazine subscrip­ tions. W e have met our pledge of salary and outfit ex­ pense, but not our synodical allotment. In our western presbyteries the little churches and out-stations are manned largely by student preachers, who remain only during the summer, 40 students and 24 graduates coming to the synod this spring. It is very difficult to establish societies in these new parts and under these conditions. Bismarck Presbytery is one of these and is in an immense country consisting of 15 counties, many points being 30 miles from a railroad. The presbyterial society is now organized and the secre­ tary is making brave efforts to reach every point where we have preaching, with literature and correspondence, and reports two new societies and more on the way and an advance in gifts. Although conditions are so trying and at times dis­ couraging, yet there seems to have been a real advance in all of the presbyterial societies, in auxiliaries and grow­ ing interest and one society reports a “candidate for Korea.” Our synodical society met in the “magic city” of Minot last October, where we had a good meeting, although no representative from either Board was present. Dr. Bradt and the President of Jamestown College each gave us a fine address and of our own honorable women not a few took part. At the meeting we decided to send our Pres­ ident to the annual meeting of the Board and to keep on sending a delegate each year. Our President has done faithful work in touring and has organized several socie­ ties and Westminster Guild chapters and prepared the way for others, Our missionary, Miss Monk, was cheered at Christ­ mas by a “ wonder bag,” to which many of our women in all parts of the state contributed some little gift which served to increase their interest and to assure Miss Monk of our love and prayers.

SOUTH DAKOTA. Mrs. H. P. Carson. We cannot report any decided gain for missions, if that gain is to be measured by dollars and cents, but we are thankful for the same steady, faithful effort on the part of our officers and our constituency, the same untiring seed-sowing that will give us the harvest of the future. The women’s societies are more active in mission study, and are making greater efforts to educate their member­ ship along all lines of missionary activity. These con­ ditions have been brought about largely through the un­ tiring efforts of our Secretary of Literature, who presents the educational side of all this work at the synodical meetings each year, having the very best helps and leaf­ lets to be obtained and sowing them broadcast. Young people’s work is active, perhaps not quite up to the standard owing to frequent changes of officers. The loss of gifts in two presbyterial societies is offset by gains in two others, one of which almost doubled its contribution. The Synodical meeting held in Aberdeen was marked by an unusual interest along all lines of work. The presence of our beloved Miss Chase was greatly appre­ ciated, her stirring talks on Korea revealing the miracles of grace wrought there, and the enormous responsibility that is ours with respect to that field. The presbyterial meetings during the year were well attended by women anxious to learn at the Master’s feet, the devotional services being specially tender and precious. Perhaps there may have been some discourag­ ing conditions, but we have counted it “ all joy” to serve and that we, His handmaidens, are “laborers together with Him,” WISCONSIN. Mrs. Edward T. Fairchild. We of Wisconsin would again express our joy in the privilege of having had the Board’s previous meeting in Milwaukee, particularly as we remember the extreme satisfaction and pleasure it afforded Mrs. Vedder, that devoted and beloved president of our synodical society who left us for higher work a little more than a year ago. It has been for us a sad year, a year of groping effort, the sadness softened by touching tributes and me­ morials from far and near. Yet it has been also perhaps a glad year in the thorough determination to put shoul­ der to wheel with which the remaining workers have ral­ lied about our new president, whose wisdom, patience, and willingness to assume the responsibilities and to. fol­ low the high precedents of her predecessor have helped to keep our standards high. In memory of her whose time, whose energy, whose purse were at the disposal of the society, all effort has been made to give substantial form to one of Mrs. Ved- der’s cherished desires, in establishment of a contingent fund with permanent financial basis. W e seek so to give at least one visible sign of the many ways in which we feel that she “ being dead yet speaketh.” Reports from presbyterial societies are.full of encour­ agement and hope. Jubilee meetings in Milwaukee and throughout the state have, given an unaccustomed in­ spiration, and have suggested methods of work that are fruitful in interest and in gifts. In four of the presby­ teries, though small increase in membership is noted, increase in gifts is marked, Madison’s advance being sev­ eral hundred dollars, while LaCrosse doubles its pre­ vious contributions. Besides the inspiration gained from the strenuous de­ votion and powerful personality of Dr. Mary Noble, and from the consecration of all of those whose names in connection with Jubilee work are too well known to need further mention here, additional influences have been felt. Impetus to the work has been given by an address at the annual meeting at Eau Claire by Mrs. L. C. Van 90 Hook of Persia, by a talk at the December quarterly meeting by Miss McCoy of China, and by the occasional presence of members of the Board, whose delegates al­ ways bring helpfulness; Mrs. N. D. Pratt came to mourn with us, Mrs. Dee F. Clarke to inspire the Presbytery of La- Crosse, Mrs. Shaw, Mrs. Tyler and Miss Rumsey to advance the work of the Westminster Guild. Interest in the local societies as working bodies, en­ thusiasm in study classes, enjoyment of missionary liter­ ature, are fundamental features reported from nearly all quarters. Indeed, a marked degree of interest manifest in the study of world conditions, and an endeavor for earnest work, seem to be the touchstones of the times. The outlook is bright with courage, hope, and a strong determination to do the things most worth while.
