NOTICE IN REFERENCE TO BEQUESTS.
As the kind intentions of some of the deceased friends of the Society have been rendered abortive for want of correct knowledge of the law relating to Charitable Bequests, the Committee call special attention to the following directions :— By Statute 6 G eo. II. cap. 36, commonly called the Mortmain Act, it is enacted, Section 1, that after the 24th June, 1736, “ no manors,lands, tenements, rents, advowsons, or other hereditaments, cor poreal or incorporeal, whatsoever; nor any sum or sums of money, goods, chattels, stocks in the public funds, securities for money, or any other personal estate whatsoever, to be laid out or disposed of in the purchase of any lands, tenements, or hereditaments, shall be given, granted, alienated, limited, released, transferred, assigned, or appointed, or any ways conveyed or settled to, or upon, any person or persons, bodies politic or corporate, or otherwise, for any estate or interest whatsoever, or any ways charged or incumbered by any person or persons whatsoever in trust, or for the benefit of any charitable uses whatsoever, u n l e s s such gift, conveyance, appointment, or settlement of any such lands, tenements, or hereditaments, sum or rams of money, or personal estates (other than stocks in the public funds) be, and be made by d e e d , indented, sealed and delivered, in the presence of two or more credible witnesses, twelve calendar months at least b e f o b e t h e d e a t h of such donor or grantor (including the days of the execution and death), and he enrolled in Sis Majesty’s High Court of Chancery, within six calendar months next after the execution thereof; a n d u n l e s s such s t o c k s be transferred in the public books usually keptforthe transfer of stock, six calendar months at least before the death of such donor or grantor (including the days of the transfer and death), a n d u n l e s s the same be made to take effect in p o s s e s s i o n for the charitable uses intended immediately from the making thereof; a n d b e w i t h o u t any power of revocation, reservation, trust, condition, limitation clause or agreement whatsoever, for the benefit of the donor or grantor, or any person or persons claiming under ?tim.” The third section of the statute enacts “ That all gifts, grants, conveyances, appointment?, assurance* transfers, and settlements whatsoever, of any lands, tenements, or other hereditaments, or of any estate or interest therein, or of any charge or incumbrance affecting or to affect any lands, tenements, or hereditaments, or of any stock, money, goods, chattels, or other personal estate, or securities for money to be laid out or disposed of in the purchase of any lands, tenements, or hereditaments, or of any estate or interest therein, or of any charge or incumbrance affecting, or to affect, the same to, or in trust for, any charitable uses whatsoever, which shall at any time from and after the 24th June, 1736, be made in any other form than by this Act is directed and appointed, shall be absolutely, and to all intents ami purposes, n u ll and void.” Upon these enactments it may be observed:— 1st. That the Baptist Missionary society isa Charitable Institution, within the meaning of this Act. 2ndly. Land, money arising out of land, or money secured on land wholly or partly, and whether freehold or leasehold, can be given to a charity only by deed in manner directed by the statute. 3rdly. Not only cannot a will pass to a charity any property of the above description, but no money- .legacy given to a charity can be satisfied out of such property. If, therefore, a testator has only land, mortgages, rent-charges, debentures, or securities on land, the legacy will fail altogether; if his estate be mixed it will fail to the extent of the proportion of this property to pure personalty. If A. having £1,500; namely, £500 at his bankers, and £1,000 on mortgage, gives £100 to a charity, 'the bequest will only be worth £33 6s. 8d. liuilway and canal shares are pure personalty, and may be •-used to satisfy a charitable lcgacy, but not railway debentures. By 1 Vic. cap. 20, sec. 9, it is further enacted, “ That no will shall be valid, unless it shall be in ■ writing, and executed in manner hereinafter mentioned (that is to say): it shall be signed at the foot or end thereof by the Testator, or by some other person in his presence or by his direction: and such signa- 'ture shall be made or acknowledged by the Testator in the presence of two or more Witnesses present at FORM OF BEQUEST. I give to the Treasurer or Treasurers, for the time Icing, of the Baptist Missionary Society, the sum o f£ sterling, tv he paid exclusively out of such parts of my personal estate, not'jpecificaUy bequeathed, as may lawfully be given by will to charity, and not to abate unless there should be no other fund for the payment in full of my other legacies, and in such case only rateably with my other pecuniary or general legacies. If any friends wish to bequeath property for Translations or Schools, it is only necessary to say instead of the General Fund, the Translation Fund, or the School Fund. It is proper to observe that the above restrictive statute does not extend to Scotland, Ireland, or the Colonies. 1879.] EIGHTY-SEVENTH REPORT.

At the same time, this meeting deBires to express its anxiety that other portions of the Society’s sphere of labour should be as liberally supported, and that India and China should also receive more labourers to meet their urgent need. 7. The Meeting was closed with the Doxology and Benediction. EIQHTY-SEVENTH REPORT. A MIDST much, distress and anxiety, both at home and abroad, your Committee have endeavoured, during the past year, to carry on the great work entrusted to their care. At home, the depression which has existed in every department of business has affected the funds of the Society, and limited the means at their disposal to meet the importunate demands of every mission-field. Epidemic diseases, famine, and scarcity of employment have been sorely felt in the vast regions of India and China ; while for India especially, the Committee have been unable to obtain the services of well-qualified brethren to fill up the places rendered vacant by disease, and by retirement from the work through feebleness of health and bodily infirmity. Still the work, in itself, is one of unabated interest, and in its results, through the blessing of God, there is an ample reward. INDIA. It is unnecessary to describe the various features of the work in which the Society’s missionaries are engaged in India. This has often been done in the Annual Reports. As in years past, the one great distinguishing characteristic is the steady, resolute persistence of the brethren in sowing broadcast, by the written word or by oral utterance, the seed of eternal life. On the highways, in the streets of the cities, in bazaars, and village market-places, the preacher of the Gospel has steadily continued to present to the teeming multitudes the knowledge of salvation. Not without some immediate result. At almost every station a few, more or less, have given in their allegiance to Christ. But the vast masses of the population still remain outside the 'Kingdom of God. Beyond doubt, impres 1 2 EIGHTY-SEVENTH JIEPOE.T. [1 8 7 9 . sion lias been made. In some degree the confidence of great numbers of the people in their gcds has been shaken; and indications not a few have come to light that many individuals are in secret seeking after God. The large accessions recently made to various Christian churches in Southern India— accessions equalling those recorded of Pentecostal days— warrant the anticipation that in due time every part of India shall bring its tribute of grateful worshippers to the feet of the Lord of all. The slow rate of progress hitherto secured does, however, give importance and interest to every method of attracting attention and of reaching the hearts of the people ; especially to such methods as may bear the mark of novelty. Of this nature is the plan pursued by our native missionary, the Rev. G. C. Dutt, in the district of Jessore. The Rev. George Rouse, in speaking of his purpose to introduce the plan into the district to the south of Calcutta, where the Romanists have of late years intruded their presence, thus describes some of its effects. Mr. Dutt, he states, has succeeded “ in not only developing a spirit of liberality among his people, who make regular collections in all their churches, but he has almost driven the Romanists from the field. Bengali hymns have proved more attrac tive and powerful than all the rupees and sophistries of the priests. At Khoolnea, all that remains to them is a solitary adherent (whose wife has joined the Baptists), and a tenantless priest’s house, which I passed this morning on my way to preach in our chapel to a crowded and most attentive audience.” In carrying out his ideas, Mr. Dutt specially relies on the power of “ sacred song,” and on the strong influence it exercises on the native mind. lie has formed among his people a society for the cultivation of sacred music, both choral and instrumental, and, at convenient times, a portion of this choir accompanies him and the evangelists to the villages selected for a preaching tour. The music forms an unfailing source of interest and attraction. Here is an illustration drawn from a village called Mazingatti. A Hindoo gentleman had made preparations to observe a festival in honour of the idol Hari (a form of Krishna), and had collected a band of singers to chant hymns in honour of the god. “ When the man,” writes Mr. Dutt, “ saw my boat, and found that we had come to the village to preach the Gospel, he invited us to hold 1 8 7 9 .] EIGHTY-SEVENTH EEP0ET. 3 an ‘ evangelistic meeting ’ in his house. We accepted the invitation, and preached the Gospel and sang our Christian hymns till two o’clock in the night. The Hindoo singers kept silent all the time, and, at last, unceremoniously left the place. The sweetmeats provided for them were distributed among the people assembled, and no offering was made to the god.” After a similar meeting at Booridunga, a Hindoo gentleman insisted on presenting to the missionary a suit of clothes. No less successfully has Mr. Dutt applied his knowledge of native customs to raise funds for the support of two preachers, a Bible-woman, and the repair of the chapels. “ Remembering,” he says, “ what was done by my heathen relatives for the maintenance of the service of the gods, I instituted the following custom :— Every morning and evening, when setting aside the rice for the family meals, a handful is set aside for the service of God. At the end of the month the rice is collected from the different families, and the proceeds [of its sale] go in support of the preachers above mentioned. Our people have also learnt to give a part of their first crop, as first-fruits, for the service of God. I have by these means succeeded, to a great extent, in developing in our people a spirit of generosity.” In Madras, the native missionary, the Rev. S. J. Cliowrryappah, has pursued a somewhat similar course, and with the like effect. Thus he says—“ The evangelistic work in Madras (that is, preaching in the streets and byways) is carried out every day successfully, and thousands hear about the blood ‘ that speaketh better things than the blood of Abel.’ We collect a crowd in the usual way. My brother Kiernan and myself sing out one or two Christian lyrics. In less than five or ten minutes there is a large gathering of the people. We preach alternately, singing a verse or two between each preaching, so as to prevent the people from breaking up. Even when some of the baser sort are very noisy, we generally override their noise by singing in a loud tone of voice. When the desired end is secured, and all is quiet and orderly, we again run up the flag, and cry, * None but Je3us! none but Jesus! can do helpless sinners good! ’ ” In these exercises the missionary is often assisted by a gentleman of the city, and also by the missionaries of other Societies, who avail them selves of the opportunity to address the assembled crowds. I* 4 EIGHTY- SEVENTH EEPOHT. [ 1 8 7 9 - CHANGES REQUIRED. That there should arise differences of opinion on the wisdom of abandoning the methods of earlier days, and of substituting others of more recent origin, can be no matter of surprise. The change need not involve any reflection on the sagacity of our predecessors. India itself, especially since the great Mutiny of 1857, has undergone vast changes, and with them the circumstances of the people have greatly altered. In the early period of missions in India, a convert became literally an outcast. Forsaken by parents and by every friend, he knew no refuge but the home of the missionary, and could find no employment or support but in the charity of the Christian brother hood. Hence sprang the Christian village, the hamlets of the few converts built in the missionary’s compound, and other forms of dependence and protection under the shield of Christian love. It is obvious that relations of this kind, however necessary and justifiable at the time, could not be conducive to the growth of manly character, while the poverty and dependence of the converts obstructed the manifestation of a generous spirit. As time proceeded, these defects have become increasingly evident, and among our missionaries no one has more earnestly pointed them out, or more strenuously en deavoured to substitute healthier conditions of Christian diseipleship, than the Rev. James Smith, of Delhi. For some years past his plans have been brought under constant criticism, and their success has been exposed to frequent question. On more than one occasion the Committee have caused his methods to be inquired into, and have seen no reason to limit that liberty of action which they have ever felt it right to grant to all their missionary brethren. Assured of their integrity, and of their entire consecration to the service of Christ, the Committee have been glad to leave to every one of them the fullest scope for his exertions, and have been content for those on the spot to judge of the propriety of the plans they pursue. The Committee were confident that in every case their missionary brethren would strive to lead the perishing to the Saviour, and would labour to bring to all within their reach the knowledge of redeeming love. 1879.] EIGHTY-SEVENTH K E P O R r. 5 THE DEPUTATION. From circumstances arising out of the action of the Committee last year, the character and quality of the work in Delhi was again, in the early part of the year, pressed upon their attention by several •brethren in the North-west Provinces. Combined with the statements made by them, were others of a more directly personal nature. The Committee therefore felt it to be their duty, once for all, anew to in vestigate the various questions that had been mooted, and, if possible, remove from every mind the misunderstandings which had arisen. For these purposes they invited the Rev. John Aldis and the Rev. W . Sampson to proceed to India. These highly-esteemed brethren most readily acceded to the Committee’s request, and by their labours and •disinterested devotion have laid the Society and the Indian Mission under the greatest obligation. The Committee regret to state that they have not been able to approve of the manner and spirit in which many of the objections were urged; but, on the other hand, they rejoice, on the evidence furnished by the deputation, to express their entire confidence “ in the value and genuineness of the work carried on in and around Delhi, and that the present condition of the Mission is one of great promise.,, The investigation has, in fact, resulted in the complete vindication of the brethren on whose labours the painful Animadversions referred to have been cast. It is due to the brethren of the deputation, who have with so much thoroughness and ability investigated the subject, as well as to the missionaries whose plans and principles of action have been impugned, •that the Committee should state briefly the main features of the work in Delhi, and especially call attention to those points on which more particularly the Delhi brethren have diverged from the methods usually pursued. The following extracts from the report of the ■deputation will place the subject in the clearest light:— The field of labour in Delhi is large. The greatest part of the work lies in the city and its suburbs. But the stations extend widely, one4 ■being distant fifty miles. The whole extent of the ground covered is as large as an English county, in which there are several places with a •population of from 7,000 to 10,000. In all the country stations the same 6 EIGHTY-SEVENTH REPORT. [1 8 7 9 1 methods are employed as in Delhi, with the addition of itinerant preaching. The objects of these labours are amongst the lowest of the population.. A very few, by thrift and diligence, have risen to be employers of labour; a few have small pensions, or are in positions of trust in the municipality. Some are servants, porters, masons, carpenters; more are weavers; but the majority are shoemakers, Delhi being the Northampton of India. Thus- they are amongst the poorest and most despised; but this will not diminish the value of the work in the esteem of those who are the followers of Him who put it amongst the miraculous proofs of His mission that “ the poor have the Gospel preached to them.” We can only repeat what Mr. Lewis has already stated:—“ The distinguishing features of our Delhi Mission are, its open-air (or basti) meetings and its ragged schools. These two are intimately allied to each other. The courtyard before the school-house is, in some cases, the place of meeting. Meetings are arranged for, and regularly proceed, without any dependence upon the missionary; but he attends one or other of them every night.” These places of meeting are for the most part hired; but some have been built and are owned by the people. The whole space is included within mud walls, and contains one or more houses, with a covered place which constitutes the school and the chapel, where the children are taught, and children and women sit at seasons of wor ship. These schools were originated by Mr. Smith. Mr. Lewis reported the existence of thirteen ; but there are now thirty-five. The cost of maintenance in 1872 was Rs.948 per annum; the present cost is Bs.4,869, towards which the G-ovemment and municipality supply Bs.1,330, leaving Bs.3,539 to be supplied by Christian generosity. Of these schools we visited nineteen. The instruction is very elementary, the main object being to teach the pupils to read, especially the gospels. Of course in many cases the education is carried much farther. Besides the children, many adults are also taught to read out of school-hours. And so the thousands of readers have been produced of which Mr. Smith speaks. These schools are in small part subsidized by the Government and municipality, and of course are subjected to inspection. The inspector writes:—“ These schools are doing a very good work in teaching those whom the Government schools do not reach, and are deserving of more support than they at present receive from the Government.” This affords another illustration of the faot that the poor amongst the heathen have no uniform and reliable friend but the missionary and the Gospel he brings, for lavish provision is made by the Government for the education of the higher castes. We will next refer to the open-air or has meetings. Of these, there are twenty, eight, at each of which, from two to seven services are held every week. The meetings, as already intimated, are gathered in the- 1 8 7 9 .J EIGHTY-SEVENTH EEPOKT. 1 inclosure hired or built for the school. These must be distinguished from what is called bazaar preaching, which has bo long and deservedly held a high place among evangelistic methods in India. Bazaar preaching is street preaching, near the shops or in the markets, and amidst the crowd and bustle of traffic and of passengers. It mainly consists in a discourse, which is sometimes controversial and sometimes simply evangelistic, and can rarely be accompanied by prayer and singing. Basti meetings are in the open air, but amongst the dwellings of the poor, and though in densely crowded districts, yet each meeting is in comparative seclusion and quiet. The congregations gather early, for they are not convened till the day’s work is done, and after the evening meal. The people all squat in native fashion on mats spread on the ground, and continue there to the close of the service. It is rarely that any one goes away, but they listen with great attention and apparent interest. The most important and marvellous thing is, and which we were not prepared to expect, that the majority are heathen or Mohammedan, drawn together by curiosity or the charm of the service, or at the invitation of their Christian neighbours. Thus a wide field of labour is secured, where the members can be instructed and edified, and inquirers can be brought forward and directed and encouraged. Of these meetings we attended about sixteen; the attendance ranged from forty to a hundred and forty, and we had no reason to believe that it was greater than usual. In this way thousands cf persons are regularly brought under the sound of the Gospel. Mr. Smith or Mr. Guyton gave an address. Here, also, the discourse occupies less space than in bazaar preaching, but it is more various, instructive, and pastoral. A considerable part of the service is occupied in praying, which exercises the gifts and promotes the devotion of the native Christians, several of whom engage at each service. Not a little time is occupied in singing. To make this effective is a difficult part of the missionary’s work, as he has often to lead, and must always control it. A fine voice is a great help, and in this Mr. Evans, of Monghyr, stands unrivalled; but we were surprised to find how generally and how well our missionaries discharge this duty. This service of song is not the least attractive and influential to outsiders. Sometimes it is accom panied by instrumental music—the cithara, and the tabret, and the cymbal. The tunes are native, but consecrated by this use; generally wild and weird, but often pathetic; there is only the melody, not the least attempt at harmony is made. The singing is, as a rule, loud, sometimes boisterous, and accompanied by much bodily exercise, yet some of the musical conceptions are ex tremely beautiful. One introduction, repeating the words, “ The Lord is coming,” we thought in taste and exquisite modulation of tone, equal to anything we had ever heard. The best of all is that the hymns are thoroughly Evangelical. In them the name of Jesus is the most familiar strain; being simple, they are easily understood; being largely repeated 8 EIGHTY-SEVENTH EEPoET. [1 8 7 9 . in the chorus, even those who cannot read, learn and remember them. Thus their “minds are stored with elementary, but essential truth. Some of the greatest favourites were composed by Chamberlain, that prince of evangelists; and hence, though his own voice has long been silent on earth, yet, in hymns composed and sung by him, that Lord is still praised whom he loved so truly, and by the race of people he served so well. These meetings are the glory of Delhi. Our best cottage-meetings most nearly resemble them, but fall far behind them in extent and power. We could hardly suppose it possible that such meetings could be found in India. As night after night we sat in the moonlight or in the gloom, scarcely broken by one or two lighted wicks floating in oil, and as we saw Mr. Smith or Mr. Gay ton preaching the Word of light and comfort to these poor, squalid, despised, and neglected ones, while Mrs. Smith, or Mrs. Guyton, or Miss Thome, or Miss Kemp sat by the women, who were thus emboldened to attend a public service with the men, we thanked God that this sad earth is not yet bereft of all the results of our Lord’s mission, or of the grace of His spirit who “ humbled Himself, and made Himself of no reputation.” The whole number of church members, after careful revision, is reported at 465. Of these, 224 are at Delhi and the suburbs, and the remainder at stations more or less distant. In conformity with native habit, the church-meeting is called a “ panchayat,” and each smaller division in the stations is also so called. The desire and aim of our missionary brethren is to devolve on the natives the oversight and dis cipline of each other. We now come to speak of the effect produced by the efforts made to promote liberality and self-support. We confess that here, if there be not much to discourage, there is but little over which to exult. The progress made in this direction is small and slow. Two things, however, must be borne in mind. The people are amongst the poorest of the poor. The wages of a day-labourer may be threepence or fourpence a day. This is barely sufficient to procure the absolute necessaries of life. The two mites which make a farthing, and which attracted the regard of our Lord, implied no worse circumstances than these. Moreover, in the North-west provisions are at famine prices. Not a few have been starved to death, and multitudes of the survivors have been smitten down by fever. Still, in contrast with the dependence and cupidity prevailing in some stations, and in comparison with the barrenness in Delhi during past years, much has been accomplished. At Delhi, the subscrip tions and collections during the last four years amounted to Rs.1,023. During the last year Rs.lO| were raised at Puranakilla, Rs.17 at Shahdura, and Rs.l5f at Subzi Mandi. This does not include the gratuitous labour, which had been considerable, in repairing mission hapels and schools. Besides this, during the last few years the people 1 8 7 9 .] EIGHTY-SEVENTII REPORT. 9 hare wholly provided a school or chapel in three places. In four others, they have provided everything except the straw and bamboo for the roof. In one, they have helped much by giving labour; in another they have purchased ground at a cost of Rs.25 ; while at Subzi Mandi, the place now used was purchased at a cost, by the people, of Rs.115. They have now in hand Rs.83 towards building a chapel. We accept, with thanks to God, these first-fruits of Christian willinghood, and earnestly wish our brethren God-speed in the further pursuit of a richer harvest. Besides the departments of missionary labour described in the above extracts, a most efficient and extensive Medical Mission is carried on by Dr. Carey, while numerous Zenanas are daily visited by the large staff of ladies supported in the main from the funds of the Ladies’ Association. This important work, say the deputation, “ appears to be sustained with singular ability and devotedness, and is equal in fruitfulness to the other departments of Christian work in Delhi.” As the result of this investigation, it is the hope of the Committee that the brethren in Delhi will be permitted to continue their devoted services for many years, unimpeded by the obstacles they have until now had to surmount, and with the cordial support of those brethren who may not hitherto have agreed with them. CEYLON. The new field lately occupied by the Rev. R. Pigott presents many features of interest. It is the stronghold of Buddhism in Ceylon. Many of the villages visited lie near the base of Adam's Peak, on the summit of which is the so-called footprint of Buddha. Thousands of pilgrims, from all parts of the island, visit it annually, and present a wide field for the missionary’s toil. A large part of the land in the district is the property of numerous Buddhist and Demon temples; and the agricultural population are kept in a state of serfdom by the priests whose lands they occupy. The people are more ignorant and degraded than in any other part of the island, while the bondage in which they are held creates a powerful obstacle to the confession of Christ. Until the temple lands are secularized, and the cultivation is relieved from the barbarous and debasing tenures under which they are held, education, or any other improving influence, can make but little 10 EIGHTY-SEVENTH REPORT. [1 8 7 9 . progress among them. The population is also somewhat scattered, so that it is difficult to assemble any considerable number in one spot. The head-quarters of the Mission is in the city of Ratmpura, which has a population of 3,500 souls, and the missionary has some 200 villages within easy reach. One or two stations have been formed and oc cupied. The work in the Colombo district presents the same features as in former years. Some twenty persons have been baptized into Christ. The missionary and his coadjutors assiduously labour, and the churches are making steady progress and from time to time enlarge their borders. The Rev. F. Waldock particularly mentions the completion and occupation of the new mission-house, towards the erection of which many of our friends very liberally subscribed. In Kandy, Mr. Carter reports his steady progress in the revision of the New Testament, which he hopes to have ready for press by the end of the year. CHINA. In the early part of the year information reached the Committee that, owing to the drought which had prevailed in the Northern Provinces of China for several years in. succession, there had resulted a famine of an intensity and extent hitherto unheard of. The sufferers could be counted by millions. Official statements reported that the Chinese peasantry actually used the corpses of the dead for food, and when this source of supply was exhausted they killed the living for the same dreadful purpose. The long continuance of the famine affected the well-to-do and the wealthy; and they in turn were dying off, or, when practicable, emigrating to less miserable districts. History, it is said, contains no record of so terrible and distressing a state of things. Local resources were exhausted, the granaries were emptied of their contents, the treasuries were drained dry, and all classes— even the richest— were impoverished. The Chinese papers give the number of five millions as the lowest computation of the multitudes who perished. The following picture of the state of things is from the pen of our missionary, Mr. Richard:— Yesterday I saw a family of four—one a pitiable little skeleton of six or seven years old—ravenously eating while assorting the “ greens”" 1 8 7 9 .] EIGHTY-SEVENTH KErOET. 11 ready for boiling. Three of this family had already died, or gone off to try and live by begging. Perhaps the most pitiable of all the sights one sees in going among these famine-stricken villages is that of a child of two or three years old, bright-faced, notwithstanding its dirt and emaci ation, leaning against a dish of boiled weeds, to which there may have been added a handful of millet-chaff, and picking out with its bony little fingers one leaf or one stalk after another, as if even this effort was beyond its strength. It is only when they can manage to get a faw cash (copper money) that even chaff can be had to mix with their weeds. All the elm-trees about many of the villages are stripped of their bark as high as the starving people can manage to get; they would peel them to the top, but haven’t the strength. A special appeal was made to the churches in the mouth of August, and by collections and donations the sum of £2,666 3s. Id. was realized. From time to time these moneys were remitted through the hands of the missionary brethren, Mr. Richard and Mr. Jones, to this dreadful scene of suffering and misery. It is impossible to describe the blessed results, both in the saving of life and in other respects, of this kind in tervention on the part of the Christian churches of this country. As the missionaries of all the denominations labouring in China were the chief actors in the relief, there has been brought about a state of mutual good-will and affection between foreigners and natives which was scarcely known before. Mr. Richard, with another missionary, was himself invited to an interview with the Viceroy of Chihli, the Foreign Minister, who thanked them most warmly for their efforts to alleviate the sufferings of his poor countrymen. With regard to direct missionary work the brethren report most hopefully. The trials of this period of famine have developed much mutual affection and helpfulness among the converts. Here and there native Christians voluntarily proclaim the truth, and, in one instance, with such power from on high as to make the hearers weep. Two- women are reported to have prayed for forty days and nigbts for the conversion of the son of one of them, and their prayers were heard by Him who ever heareth the prayers of the humble and lowly hearted. Other women go even a distance of twenty miles to tell their friends of the Saviour they have found, and in at least twelve places the people of their own accord assemble on the Sabbath for the worship of God. Never, indeed, have the people of China exhibited so much readiness to hear and receive the Gospel. “ For all this,” say the missionaries, “ we thauk God most sincerely, and pray Him to continue 1 2 EIGHTY-SEVENTH REPORT. [1 8 7 9 . His blessing, so that all may grow in knowledge and in tlie fruits of the Holy Ghost.” The Committee are happy to add that they have accepted the services of Mr. J. T. Kitts, of Eawdon College, for this promising field. He will go out to join our two brethren in July of this year. AFRICA. In the last Report, the resolution of the Committee to prosecute a Mission oil the Congo River, and the countries adjacent, was announced, and that Messrs. Grenfell and Comber had set out on a preliminary visit to the mouth of the river, to ascertain the conditions under which a more thorough exploration could be made. They returned to the Cameroons in the month of February. Meantime, the -arrangements for the expedition were forwarded by the Committee, so that in the month of June, the most favourable period of the year for an expedition, they were able to start. The party consisted, in the iirst instance, of the two missionaries, two native preachers, and twelve helpers, drawn from the Cameroons Mission and the Kroo boys on the coast. The presumed dangers before them scared some of the native helpers, and they left, so that the party nn reaching the Congo num- ■bered only ten persons. A passage of eight days brought them to the Dutch settlement at Banana, where they met a kind reception, and -obtained storage for their goods. A short delay, and the party set off, early in the month of August, for the kingdom of Congo, and, without meeting any incidents of importance, in eight days they reached San Salvador, the capital of the Congo country, and received -a hearty welcome from the king. After a stay of three weeks, they resolved on an excursion to the north-east, in the direction of the ■Congo above the falls. The journey was somewhat hindered by the iear3 of the chiefs through whose countries they passed on their way. At length, having overcome every obstacle, they were admitted to the neat and well-built; town of Tungwa, the chief town of the king «of the Makuta country. Four days were spent in pleasant intercourse with the chief and his people, from whom they received a grand reception, the more remarkable as it was the first visit of a white man to their town. It was, however, in vain that they sought to obtain permission to go forward to the upper reaches of the river. The .responsibility, the king affirmed, was too great for him to bear. 1 8 7 9 .] EIGHTY-SEVENTH EEPOET. Drought, pestilence, and other dreadful evils it was supposed would follow such a step. With great reluctance the explorers yielded to necessity and returned to San Salvador. The country was found to- be well cultivated, somewhat populous, and the climate salubrious. The missionaries met with every encouragement they could desire to- establish a mission in the country, making San Salvador the base, from whence they hope, as the people become acquainted with their peaceful object, to form a succession of stations till they reach Stanley- Pool on the Congo above the falls. Thence, assisted by a small steamer as suggested by Mr. Arthington, they hope to be able, by the finest waterway in the world, in a course of twelve hundred miles, to reach the numerous tribes that dwell upon its shores. Having accomplished the object of their journey, the expedition- returned to the Cameroons. The Committee have since enjoyed the opportunity of personal conference with Mr. Comber, and of arranging" with him the details of the important enterprise they are about to undertake— the introduction of the Gospel from the Western side to- the Central portion of the “ Dark Continent.” It is their pleasure, as it is their duty, to express their thanks to their brethren and their warm appreciation of the skill, ability, and judgment with which Messrs. Grenfell and Comber carried through their arduous and difficult expedition. Mr. Comber is accompanied on his return by- three young brethren who have given themselves to Christ for this work, and he will obtain the aid of a few native assistants selected from among the converts of our Mission at the Cameroons. It is needless to ask for them the sympathies and prayers of the churches. The interest awakened in this new Mission has already displayed itself in many forms— in large gifts of money, and in the contribution of many useful articles. A spirit of earnest and importunate prayer has been manifested, and already indications have appeared of the Divine- sanction and approval. But while this new enterprise has engaged the attention of the missionaries of the Cameroons, the work of God has been steadily pursued there. Mr. Johnson and his companions have arrived at Victoria, and will either fill up the vacancies occasioned by the drafts for the Oongo Mission, or proceed to some new town among those discovered during the explorations of Mr. Thomson and Mr. Comber around the base of .the Cameroons Mountains. Mr. Fuller reports- 1 4 EIQHTY-SETENin BEPOKT. [1 8 7 9 . that the conflict with the barbarism and superstition around him is proceeding successfully, human life has more than once been saved, -and a few persons have been brought into the Kingdom of righteous ness and peace. As in multitudes of instances, the Gospel is here seen to prepare the way for civilization and the arts of social life. BRITTANY. The change of Government in France has given renewed hope to all engaged in evangelistic labour. But in no part of the country is the beneficial effect of it more felt than in Brittany, where the priest-spirit has long held sway. The principles of the Syllabus were there zealously propagated by the temporal authority of the maires and préfets, and it was at all times difficult to move without police supervision or control. The conflict is now over, and, at least for a time, the fear of interruption can be laid aside. The messengers of grace can now labour in peace. “ We Christians,” says Mr. Lecoat, “ see the loving hand of God in it all, and are thankful, not only for freedom of worship, but for freedom of preaching the good news proclaimed by the Gospel of Christ.” The Breton people have always been regarded as especially imbued with a religious spirit. In the season of pilgrimage, long journeys are taken by both the rich and poor to the temple of some favourite saint. With the deepest devotion they perambulate on their knees the sacred spot where the images or the holy relics are enshrined. Superstition holds the people in slavish bonds. The liberty now enjoyed has enabled the .missionaries to spread their exertions over a wider extent of country, and many new villages have been visited by them and their colporteurs. At Brest a service has been commenced in conjunction with Mr. Lecoat, under the care of an excellent brother of the name of Caradec. Two persons were baptized last year, and eleven others have given indications of a new life in Christ Jesus. At Morlaix, Tremel, Pont Menou, St. Brieuc, and other places, all departments of Christian work have been carried on with increased zeal, and with hopes of success brighter than at any former period. The Committee cannot, however, pass from this field of labour without referring to the great loss the Mission has sustained by the decease of Madame Bouhon. Her bright spirit gave happiness to her own home 1 8 7 9 .] EIGHTY-SEVENTH REPOBT. 15 and to the homes of many others. In her last moments she joyfully experienced the fulfilment of the Divine words that were then present to her thoughts, “ I 'am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest.” NORWAY. The continuous growth and enlargement of the Mission in this interesting country led the Committee, in the autumn of last year, to consider the advisability of making some change in the method of ■conducting it. Dr. Underhill was requested to visit Norway that he might confer with the brethren on the subject, at a Conference about to be held in Bergen. This was accordingly done ; and the following extract from Dr. Underhill’s report to the Committee will explain the arrangements which they have sanctioned, and which will come into operation with the new financial year:— The chief feature of the plan is the formation of a Union to be calledt: The Union of the Norwegian Baptists,” to consist of churches with their pastors united by faith in Christ, and practising the immersion of believers. The great object of the Union is defined to be the promotion of the kingdom of Christ in Norway, by the personal efforts of its members, or by the churches, separately or united, together with the aid of the Baptist Missionary Society. At the same time it is declared that the Union shall not interfere with the duties and privileges of the individual churches, in the election and support of their ministers and pastors, each church being subject only to Christ as its Head. The remaining rules have reference to the election of the committee of management and the officers of the Union, to the annual and other meetings of the Union and its committees, and to the mode of admission to its fellowship. The regulations adopted have two important arrangements in view. The first, and the principal one, is the management in future of the Norwegian Mission by the brethren at present employed in it, and by such other brethren as may hereafter join them. The second, is the release of the Rev. CL Hubert from pastoral service in Bergen, and the devotion of his whole time to evangelistic work under the direction of the Home Committee. These arrangements involve the cessation of the direct dependence of the missionaries, with the exception of Mr. Hubert, on the funds of the Society. The sums now granted to these brethren, with such additions as the' Home Committee may from time to time see fit to make, will be paid to the treasurer of the Union. The Union will -determine the appropriation of these funds, with such other funds afl it may obtain, to the exigencies of the work. The Society in England will, however, retain a general control over the funds supplied from its EIGHTY-SEVENTH REPOET. [ 1 8 7 9 , own resources. This plan has been found to work with great success in Germany and Sweden, under the direction of our friends in the United States. It will encourage local activity, a greater liberality on the part of the Norwegian churches, a more just provision for the supply of the needs of the pastors and evangelists, and relieve the Home Committee from the difficulty so often felt as to the respective claims of individuals and churches on their funds. In the separation of Mr. Hubert from pastoral duties, the Committee secure the continuation of those evan gelistic labours for which Mr. Hubert is so well fitted, and in which he has been so much blessed. At the same time he will remain in full fellowship with the brethren of the Union, by appearing among them as the Society’s representative, and will continue to hold the position he has so long worthily filled as the agent of the Home Committee. Dr. Underhill closes his report with the gratifying statement:— The results of the labours of the Society in Norway are numerous and important, more than sufficient to compensate the moderate cost at which they have been won. God has blessed Mr. Hubert and his coadjutors. They have accomplished much in the way of breaking into that dead formalism arid apathy to Christian truth which for so many years have characterized the Established Church of the country. They have led many souls to Christ, and are unwearied in their endeavours to give the Bread of Life to the perishing. ITALY. Several interesting events have marked the progress of the evangel istic work in which the missionaries of the Society are engaged in Italy. Among these may be more particularly noticed the opening of a new chapel in Borne, built under the auspices of the General Baptist Mission, but resulting from the combined labours of the Rev. J. Wall and the Rev. Chevalier Grassi; the acquisition of new premises in Trastevere, near the Bridge of San Sisto, springing from the devoted exertions of Mrs. Wall among the beggars of Rome; the opening of a new station in Tivoli, in a deserted Catholic church; and the exten sion of the Mission in the hands of the two brothers, William and John Landels, in Sicily, Naples, and Genoa. During the year twenty- one converts have been added to the church in Rome by baptism, and others have joined our communion in other cities. The printing office has turned but thousands of small tracts, hymns, handbills, and some large type texts of Scripture for the walls of rooms and houses. The circulation of the Scriptures is most encouraging. During the 1879.] EIGHTY-SEVENTH EEFORT. 17 last three years more than five and twenty thousand copies of the New Testament have been sold by the evangelists, or distributed among those too poor to purchase. It is no wonder that these well- directed efforts, united with those of other Evangelical churches should awaken the fears of the Papal party. “ The new Pope,” says Mr. Wall, “ has inaugurated a secret, subtle, worrying policy towards our members. They have been visited by persons of influence, tempted by offers of help, menaced by threats of persecution. Several who were in great distress, or under church discipline, yielded, and went over to the Roman Catholic Church. They soon, however, returned to ask for re-admission, or fell back into carelessness or indifference.” It is from no spirit of toleration in the Papacy that our brethren can, unmolested, themselves pursue their work. An allocution of the Pope, lately published, shows him in an attitude of wrath because he is not at liberty, within the walls of the Eternal City, to crush the preachers of the Gospel. He loudly laments the ample liberty enjoyed by the propagators of so-called error. He mourns over the boys and girls whose tender minds are being imbued, in Protestant schools, “ with wicked doctrines in conformity with the heterodox spirit of those who teach them.” And he grieves at the impunity enjoyed, so that “ the seat of the Vicar of Christ is con taminated with heresy, and has become, as in pagan times, the receptacle of errors and the asylum of the sects.” His distress culminates in the painful fact that the public laws do not permit him “ to use efficacious means to silence ” his foes. Happily it is so, and, after ages of Papal persecution, freedom of worship and liberty of conscience are the right of every Roman citizen, and of every inhabitant of the States but lately oppressed by the Pope of Rome. “ Therefore,” to use the words of Mr. Wall, “ let the press labour, let the evangelist go forth, let the Bible be circulated, let churcheB arise, and then, through all our mediums, may the Spirit of Life flow forth upon the land! ” WEST INDIES. T r i n i d a d . The Mission in this island has been steadily advancing during the year, but the churches have suffered considerably in numbers from the 2 18 EIGHTY-SEVENTH BEPOKT. [1 8 7 9 . inroads of disease and death. Several of the native pastors have, through sickness, been laid aside from their daily duties, and though some additions to the churches have taken place by baptism, they have scarcely filled the gaps made by death. Among those called to the Master’s presence was the excellent deacon of the church in Port o f Spain, a relative of the Rev.W. II. Gamble, Mr. J. P. Tuttleby, who for twenty-nine years served his generation according to the will of God with fidelity and zeal. His beloved partner in life and in the faith preceded him only a few weeks. He has left some property to the Mission as a memorial of his love to the Society and its work. J a m a i c a . The Committee are happy to learn, from the Report of the Jamaica Baptist Union, that the year has been one of gratifying increase and prosperity. Upwards of 1,800 persons have been baptized in the ninety- eight churches that have made returns, and the net increase in their numbers, after the necessary deductions for deaths, exclusions, erasures, See., is 1,095. But the churches have had to endure many trials, arising chiefly from the state of the island. The general depression of trade has not failed to affect these remote dependencies of the empire. There has been a partial failure in the crops, and an in adequate supply of the ordinary staples of life. The seasons have been of unexampled severity, interfering with the operations of in dustry, causing much sickness, postponing courts of justice, interrupt ing markets, and for weeks closing places of worship in the more exposed districts of the island. Notwithstanding these adverse cir cumstances, a large proportion of the church reports speak of peacc and harmony as prevailing amongst them, of the holy activity of officers and members, of building operations carried on with energy, chapels made fit for use, growing purity of members, improved finances, earnestness of young members, and of blessing on the preached word to good congregations. By the help of the Committee, the Rev. S. V. Robinson, of Regent’s Park College, has assumed the pastorate of Port Maria and Oracabessa churches, and the Rev. C. B. Berry, of Cullingworth, has become pastor of the church in Spanish Town and its allied stations, formerly the scene of the labours of our vener able missionary, the Rev. J. M. Phillippo. One native pastor has 1 8 7 9 .] EIGHTY-SEVENTH REPOST. 19 been called away to his reward, and also the Eev. James Eeid, of Montego Bay, one of the oldest brethren connected with the Society, after a long life of service in the cause of our Lord. C a l a b a e C o l l e g e . The work of the College has proceeded happily th roughout the year and without interruption. The year has been chiefly remarkable for the number of students who have completed their course, and have left the College to enter on Christian service as ministers or teachers. Three students have commenced their work as preachers of the Gospel, one of them as a missionary in Hayti, and ten have left the Normal School for situations in various parts of the island. During the session of 1878 twenty-five young men were in residence— nine in the Theolo gical department and sixteen in the Normal School. Six new students have been accepted for the current year, and others are expected; but their number, it is feared, must be limited, from the want of sufficient funds for their support. The tutors report that the conduct of the students has been exemplary; their studies have in most cases been prosecuted with diligence, and their deportment as Christians has been consistently maintained. They ask, and they deserve to enjoy, the confidence of the Jamaica churches and the Committee, and to be sustained by their sympathy, liberality, and prayers. The College will thus doubtless be favoured with the Divine blessing, and become an increasing power for good. THE MISSIONARY STAFF. Besides the changes already indicated in this Report, the Committee have had to mourn the decease of their esteemed friend and brother the Eev. John Eobinson, of Calcutta. The son of one of the earliest missionaries of the Society, he became in the spring-time of his life the pupil of Mack and the associate of the Serampore brethren. He eventually succeeded the late Mr. J. C. Marshman as Bengali translator to the Government. Throughout his career he was the earnest and devoted missionary, and spent his later years in the service of the church in Lai Bazaar, of which his venerable father was at one time the pastor. After a short illness he entered into the rest of the Lord. 2* 2 0 EIGHTY-SEVENTH KEPOItT. [ 1 8 7 9 . Sickness in their own persons, or in that of other members of their families, has occasioned the temporary absence from their work of the Revs. G. Kerry, W. Etherington, Joseph Thomas, R. E. Gammon, and E. Hallam. On the other hand, the staff of the Mission has been strengthened by the addition of Mr. James, who has proceeded to India; by Mr. Kitts, who will soon sail for China; by Rev. D. Wilshere, who has occupied the post so long filled by the Rev. J. Davey at Nassau, Bahamas; and by the three young brethren, Crudgington, Hartland, and Bentley, who even now are on their way to the Congo, to which Mission they have consecrated their lives. Nor should omission be made of the very valuable services rendered to the Mission in India by Captain Passingham, but the record of which will best be given on his return in the summer of the present year. While grateful for these accessions to their staff, the Committee have to mourn that the work in India languishes for want of men. “ Truly the harvest is great,” but the labourers are sadly too few. Both India and China have yet to receive the fourteen or fifteen men it was desired last year to send, and so greatly needed. Let prayer ascend to the Lord of the Harvest that He may thrust forth into this vast field men every way qualified for the arduous task. THE SECRETARIES. On the 18th December last, the Committee were called to surrender to the requirement of the Master their beloved friend and colleague the Rev. Clement Bailhache. Though for some time labouring under the disease which brought him to the grave, the effects of which were too painfully apparent in his last, but admirable and effective, address to the churches at the Union Meeting in Leedp, in October, he was laid aside only for a few weeks. Throughout his illness, which involved much suffering, his mind was kept in perfect peace, and with cheerful resignation he submitted himself, and all dear to him, into the hands of his heavenly Father. The following resolution expresses the sorrow and the sense of loss felt by the Committee:— In recording the decease of their esteemed colleague and friend the Rev. Clement Bailhache (one of the Secretaries of this Society), the Committee desire to express their high esteem for his character, both as a man and as a Christian. In the fulfilment of the duties of his office they ever found him diligent, zealous, self-sacrifioing, and devoted to the highest 1 8 7 9 .] EIGHTY-SEVENTH DEPORT. 21 interests of the Mission, and wisely energetic in sustaining its operations both at home and abroad. By his genial manners, bis gentleness, his warmth of affection and devout spirit, he drew to himself the confidence and attachment of all who were brought into close relations with him. He fully appreciated the greatness of the work in which he was engaged, and gave to it themo3t conscientious and earnest attention; and in every thing he laboured as under the eye of Him who, though invisible, sees the works of faith and the labours of love of His people. For six years he acted as Association Secretary, and, on the retirement of Dr. TJnderhill in the spring of 1876, the Committee invited him to become co-Secretary and colleague with Mr. A. H. Baynes. They feel that his departure has created a serious blank in the Society, and one it will not be easy to fill; but he has left many warm and grateful memories of his devoted services. Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord. He rests from his labours, but his works will follow him. To his bereaved widow and family the Committee tender their respect ful and most affectionate sympathy. In the loving Saviour will they find the true consolation and peace they have for a while been called to lose. The Committee commend them to the Divine care and to the grace of Him who liveth for ever, the Eedeemer of all who put their trust in Him. The vacancy thus occasioned has been partially filled by the appointment of Mr. A. H. Baynes to discharge the full duties of the Secretaryship. His long connection with the affairs of the Mission, his distinguished ability, and his zealous and conscientious devotion to the work of Christ, fully entitle him to the position to which the Committee have invited him. To their request, they are happy to report, he has kindly and heartily acceded. As early as practicable the Committee hope to secure the services of a gentleman to whose care they may confide the duties connected with the Association and Deputation department of the Society’s affairs. FINANCES. “ Love and sacrifice, prayer and effort, to be really operative, must ever be inseparable,” wrote Henry Martyn when near the close of his devoted life. And in recording the history of the past year in con nection with the financial position of the Mission, the Committee feel that, in a most marked degree, the friends and supporters of the Society in all parts of the world, at home and abroad, have exhibited, in many cases under most painful and distressing circumstances, this blessed combination of loving sacrifice and prayerful effort. 22 EIGHTY-SEVENTH REP0KT. [1 8 7 9 . Many instances of touching interest could be reported, exhibiting a spirit of rare consecration and real self-denial. From all parts of the country— manufacturing, mineral, and agricultural— come tiding3 of severe poverty and painful pressure, and, in not a few cases, of actual want. A much respected minister, writing from South Wales, and at the same time remitting contributions only a little less than last year, says The real distress in my district is so great that many of my own church and congregation are at times in need of bread to eat, and during most of the winter have been almost at starvation point; yet they say they must do something for the Mission, They must have a hand in sending the brethren to the Congo. Another writes:— £1 of the sum I send you herewith is from two sisters, who get their living by needlework, and who entirely maintain their blind mother and bed-ridden father by their daily toil; being deeply interested in the Mission, they have saved this sum by working on into the night, so that this amount might be raised. I could mention two or three other cases of almost similar devotion. From one of the agricultural counties a minister writes :— The distress here is heart-breaking. I have never known, during a life of thirty years of experience in agricultural districts, the state of things so bad—the people without work, and many of them needing bread. An auxiliary Treasurer in one of the manufacturing centres says :— Trade here is in a terribly low state. Men who, a few years ago, had plenty are now needing bread to eat. No enterprize, no confidence, scarcely any hope for the future; a certain undefined apprehension of even worse things to come; and the political outlook and atmosphere seem to kill confidence as soon as it springs up. Amid all this, how ever, it does my heart good to see what a hold the great missionary enterprize of the Christian Church h.as upon our people. I believe many of them follow the new departure in Africa with as keen an interest as if their own tons were at work in connection with it. Disastrous bank failures; stagnation of trade; want of con fidence, resulting in almost a paralysis of manufacture; in the great centres of iron and coal, furnaces put out or only worked half 1 8 7 9 .] EIGHTY-SEVENTH REPOET. 2 3 time; collieries closed or abandoned; the increasing gulf between capital and labour, employer and employed, resulting in strikes and contentions— all this has rendered the past year a most trying and •distressing one. Yet, so far as the Missionary Society is concerned, the Committee feel that the retrospect cannot fail to call forth devout feelings of thankfulness and hope. Love and sacrifice, prayer and effort, have most truly characterized the history of the year. A spirit of earnest and importunate supplication has been manifested on all hands, and it is abundantly clear that the confidence of the churches in the work of the Society was never stronger or more deeply seated than it is now, while it is not less evident that the gracious Lord of the Harvest has very specially disposed the hearts of His servants to self-denial and consecration at this important juncture of the great missionary enterprize. From a small hamlet in the extreme north of Cornwall come the tidings. For some months past we, a small handful of poor Cornish folk, have met in an old barn to pray for the Congo Mission. Our prayer has been for men and means, more of both. Our meetings have indeed been seasons of blessing to us, and, while praying for God’s work in far-off Africa, two young men, quite unconcerned about their own salvation when they first came, have since given themselves to the Saviour. Dear Mr. Baynes, do urge more prayer in connection with this most blessed mission-work. We send £2 for the Congo Mission. From a letter dated from a quiet valley in South Wales we extract the following:— We are two farm labourers. For the last four months we have met in each other’s cottages once a week for prayer for the Congo Mission. We long to see Africa won for Christ. A few of our neighbours join us, and we have a Congo Mission Box. Times are very sadly with us just now, but we send ten shillings, the result of our little meetings. The dear Lord, we hope, will accept it. An old supporter of the Mission, who for many years past has annually contributed £20 under an anonymous initial, writes :— I have sent to the treasurer of our auxiliary £40 for our beloved Mission. I have had a year of most heavy trial in business, and have lost more than half of the capital I began the year with. Yet, while cutting down all my personal expenses to the lowest point, I have felt it •would not be right to withhold what I have been accustomed to put on 2 4 EIGHTY-SEVENTH KEPORT. [1879*. one side for the Lord’s work abroad. His cause must not suffer ; and by giving up all my personal luxuries, I have been enabled, to add £20 to my usual annual gift of the same sum. It has been, I can most truly say, a great joy to me to do this ; and I would, from experience, recommend all who have been tried as I have been in business, by losses and anxieties, to adopt the same plan. How little we know of giving up to the actual point of self-denial, and yet what joy it brings when we do. For the nine months ending December last tbe contributions to the mission fairly equalled those of tbe year before. During January, however, it was evident that a falling off had taken place, and the receipt of most distressing reports from several important districts visited by deputations made it clear that it would be impossible to maintain the gifts of former years. By the middle of March the receipts were many thousands of pounds in arrear, and grave fears were entertained that thè deficiency at the close of the financial year would exceed £6,000 ; the Committee are thankful, however, to report that the actual debt is only £3,364 4s. (entirely due to an increase in the expenditure of £3,823 11s. 2d.) and that the ordinary receipts of the Society for the year just closed are, excluding legacies, only £27 3s. 6d. less than those of the pre vious year, viz., £36,306 12s. 2d., as compared with £36,333 15s. 3d. The total receipts of the past year, as compared with the year before, are as follows :— 1878-9. 1877-8. General Account...... £36,306 11 9 £36,333 15 3 Legacies ...... 2,026 4 5 5,920 16 9 Widows and Orphans’ Account . 2,111 1 6 2,535 16 6 Special Funds Account 5,648 9 10 5,278 9 4L £46,092 7 6 £50,068 17 10 Excluding Legacies, this shows a decrease of only £81 18s. in the gross receipts, as compared with the receipts of 1877-8. An examination of the details of the General Account shows that the Church Contributions are £1,659 2s. 3d. less than in the previous year; while the advances by the Calcutta Press are £1,183 15s. 3d. more (this increase being principally due to the large profits on the current rates of Indian exchange); and this sum, with an increase of £353 in the amount credited to the account 1 8 7 9 .] EIGHTY-SEVENTH REPORT. 25- for legacies, nearly balances the decrease in Church Contribution?. Nor should it be forgotten that in 1877-8, in consequence of special efforts, the Church Contributions were nearly £5,000 in excess of the year before, and that during the year just closed, notwithstand ing the commercial distress, they have been considerably more than £3,000 in advance of 1876-7. The decrease in the receipts of the Widows and Orphan^* Fund is due mainly to the absence of a sum of £300 received the year before as the assurance on the life of a deceased missionary. In the Special Funds Account? the large sum of' £2,143 7s. 6d. has been received specially for the Congo Mission, in addition to the balance of £1,376 14s. 8d. brought forward from the year before, making a total of £3,520 2s. 2d., £2,319 16s. 8d. of which is still in hand to meet the heavy claims in connection with the departure of the four missionary brethren on the point o f sailing for Africa; £2,666 3s. Id. has been received on the China Famine Fund Account; and £261 11s. 6d. towards the cost of new mission premises in Rome for the work of Mr?. Wall. In explana tion of the large balances in hand on the Madras and China Famine Funds, it should be stated that bills for heavy amounts have been accepted which will absorb almost the whole of these sums. Turning to the expenditure side of the account, it will be seen that it has exceeded that of the year previous by the sum of £3,823 11s. 2d.; and but for this the accounts of the year would have closed with a small balance in hand. This increased expenditure is mainly due first to a considerable extension of missionary agency in various fields, and secondly to certain special and unusual payments. Under the first, the new Mission in Japan, enlarged agency in the South Indian, China, Ceylon, and Bahamas Missions, and a consider, able increase under various heads of mission expenditure in India may be mentioned ; and under the second, special advances on account o f the Bergen Chapel and Mrs. Wall’s new mission premises in Home (ren dered absolutely necessary to save the Norway property from enforced sale by the mortgagee, and to secure in Rome the purchase of most eligible premises), the expense of special deputation to the North-West Provinces of India, the evangelistic tour of Captain Passingham, and one or two other items of unusual expenditure. 26 EIGHTY-SEVENTH HEP OUT. [ I 8 7 9 . Ifc will be seen at once that a considerable proportion of the increase is not likely to be permanent, and tbe Committee cannot but hope that, with a general improvement in the financial condition of the country, the c ontributions during the coming year will not only be sufficient to meet the claims of the year, but to clear off also the pre sent deficiency. On all hands the cry is for e x tG n s io n , and it is almost impossible to exaggerate the pressing and immediate need for a large increase of missionary agency. What h a s been done should surely only be regarded as an earnest of what s t il l r e m a i n s to be done. Persia, Arabia, and other lands, still venerate the impostor of Mecca; the vast solitudes of Central Africa are now found to be peopled with a teeming multitude; in China, countless millions seem waiting for the Gospel; while in India the toilers are so few that vast masses of the native population have never yefc beheld the face of a Christian missionary. What should we think of half a million of people placed under the care of one pastor ? What if Scotland had but three ministers instead of two thousand four hundred; what if Yorkshire had but two— if Wales had but one—if London had but five ? Yet this is in excess of the pastoral missionary provision for India at the present moment. Territories equal in popu lation to that of England and Wales are without a missionary, and the country may be crossed five hundred, six hundred, seven hundred miles without touching a missionary station! Surely these facts present to the Christian Church a loud and urgent appeal for more largely increased missionary zeal and still greater sacrifices, so that the labourers may be multiplied a thousand-fold. The great object of the missionary enterprize— the evangelization o f the world—is a work of such vast magnitude that it might well appal us, were it not for our faith in HIM who has committed to us, with loving lips, the great commission, “ Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every c r e a t u r e and who, to nerve, quicken, and sustain all His faithful servants, has added the all-conquering assurance, “ Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world” With this commission and this promise we may well be courageous, for the result is certain, the consummation assured; for is it not written, “ He silall have dominion from sea to sea, and from THE RIVER TO THE UTTERMOST PARTS OP THE EARTH ” ? 27 REPORTS FROM THE STATION'S.
