MADAGASCAR.

R epoet of th e S ub-C o m m itte e .

D urin g the past year the circumstances surround­ ing the Madagascar Mission have been somewhat of an unfavourable character. A severe epidemic prevailed for several months and carried off many thousands of the people. In each of our Mission families illness either of children or adults has been a not unfrequent source of anxiety. The labourers have been few, and overworked, the pressure upon them at times having been great. But the work of the Mission has been carried on as usual, nor has it, we believe, materially suffered in any of its departments. W e feel that in this there is special cause for encouragement, and for devout thank­ fulness to our Heavenly Father. Both our large Schools in the Capital continue to prosper. The work of enlarging and repairing the one for boys at Ambohijatovo, for which Friends subscribed so liberally last year, is steadily pro­ gressing under the careful supervision of William Johnson, who hopes to complete it this year. The inconvenience to teachers and scholars, necessarily attending these building operations, has not been allowed to interrupt the regular holding of the school, and the attendance was never better than at present. William Wilson’s time is mainly de­ voted to the superintendence of the adult students 6 at the Training School, who are chiefly from the country, and his services are highly appreciated. The number of cottages for accommodating these country students has been more than doubled during the past year, and are a great boon to them. Frank's house is on the same plot of ground; he and the students meet together for the evening reading, and he maintains a good Christian influence over them. A year ago the large Girls School at Faravohitra, under the care of Helen Gilpin, was a source of much anxiety. Sarah T. Street was about to leave the island. H. Gilpin’s state of health was such as to render her quite unequal to the whole burden of the work, and it was hard to see whence relief should come. Our committee in Madagascar, however, have been able to secure the effective assistance of Elizabeth H. Brockway, whose father, one of the L.M.S. missionaries, is now labouring among the Betsileo. H. Gilpin has thus been relieved from many duties which she could not have left to native teachers; her own health has been decidedly better, and the school has been more efficiently carried on than for some time past. The Committee have also to add that Annie Pumphrey, of Birmingham, has offered herself for missionary work, mainly in connection with this school. They have thankfully accepted her services, and it is arranged that she shall accompany H. E. and R. M. Clark on their return to Madagascar this summer. The paucity of labourers has been very apparent in the country work. Here, too, the influences arising from the fatal epidemic of 1878, were most keenly felt, and yet, even in this department, there has been little cause for discouragement. If there has 7 not been much progress to record, we believe no ground has been lost. As our Missionaries say, “ It has rather been a time of watering the weak plants than of rejoicing in a shew of fruit.” The hold which Christianity has already gained over the minds of the people has been maintained. Invete­ rate superstition, with occasional panics, have again and again tested its strength, but they have also proved its reality; and each year steadily, though it may be almost imperceptibly, adds to its stability. Meanwhile the educational work in our district continues to improve ; a few fresh schools have been opened (the total number o f Schools is now 85, with 2,860 scholars); and the efficiency of the native teachers is increasing. The Printing department has been seriously af­ fected by the lessened number of our Missionaries, and, consequently, by the smaller amount of time at their disposal for the work of the press. In addition to this, the demand for books has been less than in some previous years. A few years ago, when the Malagasy were just beginning to see the value of reading, it was impossible to meet the yearly increasing demand. This led, not only to the establishment of our Printing Office, but also to the great enlargement of that of the London Missionary Society, and thus the wants of the people have been in large measure supplied. Money has always been scarce in Madagascar, and several causes have combined to make this scarcity more than usually felt of late. W e fear that these and other causes will seriously curtail the work at our Printing Office for some years. More than a year ago, Abraham Kingdon obtained permission from the Committee to visit England this summer, on account of his own and his wife’s health. Since 8 then he has written candidly and generously to them, expressing his views as to the present con­ dition of this department of our work, and suggesting that as his time was not likely to be fully occupied in the Printing Office, it might be for the best interests of the Mission that a member of our Society, who should give part of his time to other work, should supply his place. After care­ fully considering this suggestion in all its bearings, the Committee has reluctantly come to the con­ clusion that it will be right, as far as they are able, to comply with it. Arrangements have been made for the temporary oversight of the native printers, &c. The work will still be carried on in the Office, though probably for some time on a somewhat smaller scale than heretofore, and A. Kingdon is not expected to resume his post in the Mission. The Committee feel bound to take this opportunity of expressing their high estimate of the value of A . Kingdon’s services in Madagascar in connection with the multitudinous work of the Printing Office. In other ways also, specially in the establishment and management of the large Sunday School carried on at Ambohijitovo, he has been a very useful mem­ ber of the Mission. The Committee deeply regret to have to add, that, owing to frequent illness, and great delicacy of health, Lucy Johnson has been advised to return to England as the only means of recruiting her strength. She is expected to return with her children in company with A . Kingdon and his family, leaving her husband to pursue his work in the Island alone. W e feel sure that all our friends will deeply sympathise with them both in this great trial. H. E. and R M. Clark expect to resume their 9 work in Madagascar this autumn ; they hope to leave England early in the 7th Month, taking only two of their children with them. H. E. Clark has been most devotedly and usefully occupied during his stay in England in holding missionary meetings throughout the Kingdom. He has ex­ pressed to the Committee his deep sense of the rind way in which he has everywhere been received, eaving upon his mind the impression that the interest of Friends in foreign mission work is both real and deep. He wishes also that grateful ac­ knowledgment should be made for the many useful presents he has received for the advancement of the work, especially in the way of school prizes and other aids to education. May the interest which has thus been excited lead to increased earnestness in prayer for him and his companions, and for the people among whom they are labouring. The work yet to be done is very great. God has plainly opened the door for us to enter and take part in it. Some of those now in the Island will soon have to return, at least for a season. The work must not be allowed to stand still. Who are prepared, in Christ’s name, to de­ vote themselves to it ?

INDIA.

R eport o f th e S u b-C o m m ittee.

I m portant changes have taken place in connection with our Indian Mission during the past year. Our friend Charles Gayford, who has been engaged in 10 the work for the last six years, has returned to England with his wife Harriet J. Gayford, in order that he may obtain three or four years’ medical study. Samuel Baker and John and Effie Williams have taken charge of the Mission, and are now residing at the Mission Bungalow at Hoshangabad. Thus the work has not been suffered to flag, and we earnestly trust that the blessing that has rested upon it, will continue to rest on those who have now given themselves to it. Rachel Metcalfe is now a. confirmed invalid. W e feel very much for her in her present position. Signed on behalf of the Sub-Committee, HENRY HIPSLEY.

Annual Report from Hoshangabad, Oentral Provinces, for the year 1879.

T h e departure of our friends C. and H. J. Gayford, on Jan. 1st, caused us some anxiety as to how we should get along with the various new duties devolving upon us, but we feel now that all was ordered for the best. Our hands have been full from that time. The work seems to be increasing, and our interest in it also increases.

M e e t i n g s f o r W o k s h i p .

T h e usual Meetings, on Sunday and Wednesday evenings, are regularly held week by week. This branch of our work affords us great cause for thankfulness. The attendance on Sunday keeps up steadily, the average at each being about twenty-six; on Wednesday evenings the attendance is about twenty-three. These figures simply represent our regular attendance, and do not include the occasional visitors. Sometimes five or six in an evening drop 11 in and spend a good part of an hour with us. During the cool weather the hours of meeting are as follows :— Sunday morning... .9 a.m. | Sunday evening.. . .5 p.m. Wednesday evening.. . .5 p.m. During the hot weather we have made a change in this respect— meeting one hour earlier on Sunday mornings, and one hour later for each of our evening meetings. The natives who take an active part in these meetings are,— David (our Colporteur), Bal Mukand, Devi Dyal (Schoolmaster of Balagunje Boys’ School), and Ali Bakhsh, the Bible reader. The solemn air of earnest attention which marks our native brethren during the time of meeting, is very encouraging to see ; and, though we are but a little band, we often feel we are a highly privileged one. Our church has been greatly rejoiced of late by an addition to its numbers in Lakshman Parshad, a younger brother of Bal Mukand, some account of whom has recently been sent home. Lakshman seems a steady, promising young man. He has fairly settled down among us, and appears happier in mind, now that the excitement is passing away which was at first created by the very decided step he has taken for Christ. We feel thankful that we have thus early been permitted to see fruit, and we accept it as an encouragement from our Heavenly Father, for us to work on, and pray on, in faith, believing that He will, in due time, lead others within the shelter of His own fold.

T h e B ib l e C l a s s f o b M e n .

T h i s class is held on Sunday mornings, at seven o’clock, and has an average attendance of seven or eight. At first the class was conducted by Bal Mukand, but now that S. Baker has become familiar with the language, he conducts it himself. At present, we are going through the First Epistle to the Corinthians. No outsiders attend, except an old army pensioner, who comes very regularly to meeting.

T h e G ir l s ’ S u n d a y S c h o o l .

T h i s School is under the superintendence of Effie Williams, assisted by Sughra and Ruth, and has an average attendance of sixteen. The attendance has been regular, the girls attentive, and apparently anxious to learn. They know by heart the abridged form of the Ten Commandments, and the Lord’s Prayer, and translations of some of the hymns so familiar to children at home, such as,— “ Here we suffer grief and pain ; ” “ .There is a 12 happy land“ I think when I read the sweet story of old ; n &c. The lessons have been taken from the beginning of the Gospel of Matthew.

B o y s ’ S u n d a y S c h o o l . Under the superintendence o f J. H. Williams, assisted by Bal Mukand. T he hour for School is seven o’clock in the morning. The frequent Hindu and Mahommedan Festivals, unfortunately, affect our numbers considerably at times; still, on the whole, the boys come with regularity. The average attendance during the past quarter has been twenty-two. On the second Sunday in March,—owing to the celebration of the great Hindu “ Holi ” Festival—there were only three present. The majority of the boys attending the First-Day School, are also scholars at our Balagunje School. Their ages range from four to thirteen years. Some of them are sharp intelligent lads, and they are chiefly from families in very humble circumstances. The only book at present in use in the School, is the New Testament. We are now going through the Gospel of Matthew, studying the life of our Saviour. Our plan is, to read a few verses of the chapter, then to explain ; and, in order to make the lesson more interesting, and impress it more deeply upon the minds of the boys, we make frequent use of the small Scripture Prints recently sent out. We find this works w ell; and the answers given during the progress of the lesson, prove that the pictures are serving a good purpose. Bal Mukand makes a good teacher, he is painstaking and patient with the children. We have had one or two cases of small-pox among the boys, but on the whole, the health of the School children continues good. T h e B o y s ’ S c h o o l , B a l a g u n j e . T he average attendance at this School has been twenty-four. Devi Dyal is the teacher, and we think he deserves great credit for the way he has worked, and the interest he takes in the School. It is a purely elementary School: reading,— including spelling,— writing, and arithmetic. The reading-book is the New Testament.

W o m e n ’s W o r k C l a s s .

A l t h o u g h this class has not been regularly held at the Bunga­ low, Effie Williams and R. Metcalfe have kept the women well supplied with work.

O u t - d o o b W o r k .—P r e a c h in g T o u r s . As already reported, S. Baker, accompanied by Bal Mukand and Ali Bakhsh, visited some of the villages near Hoshangabad, during i3 the latter part of January and beginning of February. Fourteen villages and Itarsi bazaar were visited during^ the tour; and in many of these the magic lantern was exhibited—some of the slides creating a good deal of interest. There are a great many low-caste Hindus and Gonds in the district, who heard willingly, of the love of God in sending His Son into the world. In one place the men were saying among themselves : “ Why is it we do not accept these things ? Because the people around us belong to our religion; if they will accept, so will we.” And then, turning to Bal Mukand, who was speaking to them, they said : “ These things cannot all be done at once—a tree is not felled by one stroke ; but you must come again and again, and teach us, and then we will accept.” During the month of March, Bal Mukand and Ali Bakhsh went into the Bhopal State preaching. Mahommedanism is the pre­ vailing religion,— the Begum and her husband belonging to that faith. Our little party went right through the State, as far as Sihore, visiting on the way, Bhopal City, and eighteen villages. They met with many eager listeners; and one old moulvic (doctor of the Koran) kept them till nearly midnight conversing on matters of religion. A company of sweepers in Sihore—the lowest caste of all—asked that a School might be established amongst them for the children, as, being considered unclean by both Hindus and Mussulmans, they are debarred the privilege of attending the High School. Returning from Bhopal, Bal Mukand visited a few villages some twelve miles to the south of us, and was listened to with eagerness. We have much hope in this district work. The people are simple- minded, and apparently trustful; and if the work is well followed up, we have reason to expect much fruit.

B a z a a r P r e a c h in g

Has been regularly kept up, except during the preaching tours. Tuesdays and Fridays are the days for Bazaar preaching. We generally have a good company* who listen attentively to what is said. At first, there was a good deal of interruption, especially from the Mussulmans; but now we are seldom troubled, except, perhaps, by an occasional one, who, on being told not to hinder us, generally goes quietly away. A hymn is sung; then Ali Bakhsh reads a portion from the New Testament, followed by an address from Bal Mukand, and sometimes another hymn. Besides this, there are several shopkeepers, who gladly allow Bal Mukand to sit down at their shops, and hold a religious conversation. 14

T h e M e d ic a l D e p a r t m e n t Has been an interesting and successful feature of our recent work, and one which we think will give us great influence with the people. Though we are out of the city, many gladly come to the bungalow for medicine, rather than go to the hospital.

R e p a ir b .

T h e repairs sanctioned by the Committee to the Christian houses on the Mission Compound, are now rapidly approaching com­ pletion. The alterations will be a great improvement, and will add much to the comfort of our members.

COLPORTAGE.

D a v i d , our Colporteur, takes a lively interest in his work. He has made two journeys into Bhopal State, as far as Sihore, and two journeys as far as Sohagpur, besides selling Scriptures in the city. Signed on behalf of the Hoshangabad Committee, SAMUEL BAKER.

T h e Girls’ School does not progress so satisfactorily as we could wish. The attendance is fluctuating, there being considerable opposition in-some quarters, so that girls are often kept away days together, the reason given, lest they should become Chris­ tians. Another frequent excuse is, sending them into the jungle to bring in a load of wood on their heads ; as they are very poor, and provisions high, we can quite understand that a few pice saved is so much gained. The average attendance for the first quarter this year, has been fourteen. The older girls have advanced in their studies, and take pleasure in their sewing. My own state of health, and other circumstances, have pre­ vented the plan concerning Ruth and Sugrah pursuing their studies being carried out. RACHEL METCALFE. 25th April, 1879.

£4027 16 2 ANNUAL MEETING.

T h e Annual Meeting of the Friends’ Foreign Mission Association was held in Devonshire House, London, on Monday evening, May 26th, at 6-30. There was a large attendance.

A r t h u r P e a s e , of Darlington, presided. The meeting having been opened with prayer, the Chairman said:— “ We have with us this evening representatives of three of the mission stations in connection with Friends. The principal portion of this evening will therefore be devoted to addresses from them. The sympa­ thies of the Christian man are not confined to any one nation, but his desire is that justice may be done, and that the rights of other nations may be protected, and that they should be treated as we desire to be treated ourselves. And with regard to things which are spiritual,— we know that in the individual soul of man the first interest excited is on behalf of his own soul, and then his interest gradually expands to the interests of the souls of those about him ; and as in the bosom of each one there is more and more of the spirit that was in Christ Jesus, that interest becomes world-wide, and an earnest desire is raised that all over the world the blessings we have received through Christ Jesus our Lord may be known to all people. We know that while God has not left himself without a witness, even among the heathen, He has committed to His people, the Christian church—the telling of that life and salvation which have come to us through Jesus Christ. How shall they hear without a preacher ? Life and immortality were brought to light by the Gospel, and unless those who have received the blessings of that Gospel—those who know that our Lord Jesus Christ came down upon earth and died a sacrifice for sin and injustice, to bring us to God— unless those who have received this blessed truth go abroad and tell it to the nations that are sitting in darkness, they know it not. I have often thought how strange it is that so many, for eighteen hundred years, have known these blessed truths, and still so few, com­ paratively, have gone forth to tell them. We know that where one earnest Christian man has gone to speak the word of the Lord, the word of the Lord has not returned in vain, but it has accom­ plished that for which it was sent. We know that the dark places 20 of the earth are full of cruelty, and we know that the messengers of Jesus Christ have gone to do away with that cruelty, suffering, and evil. And I think, my sisters, when we look over the history of heathen nations, and you see your sisters degraded in all those nations which we should call savage, and also in India and China, where there is a large amount of knowledge and intelligence,—do you not feel a responsibility resting upon you, so far as it is in your power, to send forth these glorious truths, and spread them as far as possible ? In the sight of God it is not male and female, but all are one in Christ Jesus our Lord. And I rejoice that in the Society of Friends in these days there is a greater awakening and enlarging of all our sympathies, than there was some years ago. The last quarter of a century has seen a great change. Our dear friend, George Richardson, of Newcastle, desired that the Society of Friends should take part in the missionary enterprises of this country. We may often feel how little has been done, and yet we rejoice together with confidence, that the Lord has blessed the efforts we have made.” The names of the Committee for the coming year were then read and unanimously approved.

H e n r y S t a n l e y N e w m a n gave a short digest of the Treasurer’s account, in the absence of James Hack Tuke, thanking the subscribers throughout the country for their subscriptions and donations.

J o s e p h S t ic k n e y S e w e l l read the Report of the Madagascar Mission for the year. (See pages 31 and following.)

G e o r g e S atterthwaite , who had just returned with Henry Newman from a visit to the Friends’ Missions in Palestine and Syria, said:— “ Our first visit was to the Mission Station at Ramallah, about three hours’ ride north of Jerusalem. When we were about two miles from the place, we found a large number of the inhabitants of the village waiting to receive us. We had no idea of having such a public reception. We found in actual attendance there, in our various Schools, about 225 boys, and rather more than 100 girls. We gave prominence in our exam­ inations, to the girls’ Schools, as the idea of the female character in the East is that women should be kept in a state of ignorance and degradation; and we were happy in finding that female education is being carefully attended to. In the village a meeting for women is held three times a week, where they are not only taught sewing, but the teacher reads and explains to them the Holy Scriptures. The influence of Jacob Hishmeh, in and around 21 Ramallah, extends not only to the children but to the grown­ up people. Every night in the week, without exception, we found an audience of men, from thirty to fifty in number, gathered in what was called the ‘ meeting-room ’— which was used in the daytime as the School-room—seated in turbans and a variety of costumes, cross-legged—for there are no chairs there— listening to an exposition of the Scriptures from Jacob Hishmeh. He appears to have a special gift for this work, and after asking for Divine help, he night after night reads a portion of Scripture, and explains the simple truths to men of attentive and reverent countenances. Many of them are brought from various motives at first, but now, we find on enquiry, that many of them are converted. In addition to the work in Ramallah itself, Jacob Hishmeh has an assistant, a man in the prime of life, named Maalim Isaac, who has been appointed Scripture-reader. This man pays periodical visits to villages where Schools are situated. On our way to Brumana, a similar reception to the one I have described at Ramallah, awaited us. When we approached the heights of Lebanon, we saw a large number of people, first at one of the villages, a short distance from Brumana. They came to testify their love and gratitude to us as representatives of their kind friends in England. A lovely situation has been selected for the Training Home. There is a view of the Mediterranean and its indented bays, with the mountains extending upwards and upwards behind us ; but that which attracted us still more, was the union of spirit which exist amongst those who are working there. We also visited Dr. Bshara, who has charge of our Medical Mission, which is a moBt important branch, and one that is exercising a most excellent influence. Dr. Bshara is a man of skill and modesty, and with a spirit of self-sacrifice, and one who looks after the souls as well as the bodies of those who come to him in such numbers. On the two First-days that we spent there, there might perhaps have been about 130 people at the meeting in the morning; and when we looked round and saw the variety of costume, the difference of complexion, and the differences of habit and education in those with whom we were met for worship, and yet recollected that there was the same Lord over all, our deeper sympathies were stirred within us. In the afternoon a Sabbath School is held for boys and girls, and there are a few women under instruction. It is the Lord’s work, and He has put it into the hearts of the dear friends there thus to labour, and He has blessed their labours.”

T heopheltxs W a u j u e i e k : “ Dear friends, I want to tell you something about your Mission on Mount Lebanon. I say your 22 Mission, and I will tell you why I call it ‘ your Mission.’ First of all, you bought the land upon this goodly mountain for the Society of Friends, and the house has also been built with your money. A much stronger reason that the Mission on Mount Lebanon is your Mission, is because your religious principles —founded upon Gospel truth—are taught, preached, explained, and practically applied by those who constitute the Mission there. It is certainly not an easy work, to propagate the spiritual truths of the Society of Friends in such a country, where superstition and fanaticism prevail; but it is the Lord’s doing—not mine nor yours. It is our Heavenly Father’s doing, and just as He called the early Friends to witness for the truth, under most trying circumstances, just so did He, the Head of the church, call Friends to establish this Mission. According to my twenty years’ experience of Mission-field work, in Abysinnia and Syria, I believe that there is no better medicine against the ritualistic church system— a system without life, and depending only on forms and ceremonies— than the propagation of the principles of the Friends, because it strikes at the root of priestcraft, which has exalted itself and taken the place of Christ, and assumes the glory which really belongs to our crucified Saviour, Jesus Christ. It was not a little thing to begin the Mission upon those mountains. In the beginning, we had to endure much opposition, and as soon as the priests perceived that we were going to teach the Gospel to those poor, ignorant, superstitious people, they tried to oppose us by every possible means. But the people liked to come to us, and many came, like Nicodemus, asking for light. The priests excommunicated them, and very often accused them at the law court. They said to those who came into communication with us,— ‘ Cursed be you if you look at this English missionary, because he is not sent from God, he is sent by the Devil,’ and they wrote hundreds of papers in Ajabic, saying, ‘ Waldmeier is a Devil; he is sent from Hell, to lead you astray from your faith, and cursed be everyone who goes to him, and who hears him. We don’t give you permission to look at him. When you see him on the road, you must look to the other side, because his countenance is so powerful and fascinating, that you may be poisoned "by a simple look.’ I remember that a number of priests and monks were standing just before the very plot that belongs to the Society of Friends, where we have built the Training Home, and they were cursing the place, and saying, ‘ Let no grass grow upon it, nor flower blossom upon i t ; let no tree grow on this cursed place— cursed for eternity, because it belongs to the English people.’ But in spite of their excommunication, the grass is growing, the flowers are blooming, and the trees are getting on so beautifully. The 23 people come, notwithstanding the excommunication. We opened a School in a village called Shurah, which we call Richard Allen’s School, because It. Allen kindly supports it. I remember the day that four or five priests came from a near convent, in a fury, to attack the poor little School in the very beginning. They drove the teacher and the children away, and said to the owner of the house, ‘ We curse you, and your house, and your relations ; and if you again allow the children to enter into the School, you shall have the deepest place in Hell.’ But after the priests had left, the teacher and the children came back and learned as before. In the beginning, the poor children trembled when we gave them the Gospel in their hands, and when we asked them why they were afraid, they said, ‘ Because the priests told us it came from the Devil, and we are afraid to touch it.’ Now they are reading the Bible and learning its truths. We have the Training Home upon the top of the mountain, and about ten minutes from that there is the village of Brum ana, where we have girls’ and boys’ Schools. Then we have a school in the village called Neb ay, and down near Beyrout, in a village called Mansurieh we had two Schools, one for boys and the other for girls, but we were obliged to close the School for boys, on account of the very strong opposition on the part of the Greek Bishop, in Bey­ rout ; but we hope to open it again soon. With reference to one of the Schools, the Maronite Bishop took his beard in his hand, and said, ‘ The English School or my beard must be rooted out; ’ but neither would give way, and instead of closing the boys’ School, we have kept it open, and opened a girls’ School as well. We have placed a Bible-woman in that superstitious village, who is doing a very great work; and I am very glad to say that there is also a School where both the Maronite and Greek children come, and have the Gospel explained to them in all its sim­ plicity. A little further up, at the village of Roomey, we have a School which suffered in the beginning, on account of the opposition of the Maronite Bishop, but in spite of that, the School has prospered. Then, a little further up, we have the School of Industry, the first story of which is the Dispensary. In the middle of all these is the Training Home, from which we can overlook all the villages. We have a very compact Mission-field, and we can reach the farthest School in an hour-and-a-half, so that if any opposition or persecution is started, we may visit the Schools at once. In all these Schools we have about 350 or 400 children. Certainly they are not instructed in very great or high learning, and they do not need to be, for they are in humble circumstances, but they are taught the Gospel, and by this means the Gospel light has been brought into many a dark home on Mount Lebanon, 24 Many of the parents are glad to hear the precious truths which their boys and girls read to them in the evening, and I very often hear from old men and women, with tears in their eyes, ‘ Oh ! we are so glad we have found our Saviour, Jesus Christ, through our own children, because the priests did not come to our houses, and they quite forgot us/ I have said to them, ‘ You do not need any priest, Jesus Christ is your Priest and your Saviour, and He will lead you safely home.’ And I know that many have died in full faith and confidence in the Salvation of Jesus Christ. I should like to allude a little to the medical branch of our Mission, which is a most interesting and very powerful agency. Early in the morning, especially at this time of the year, when the heat begins to be very great, and sickness among the people increases, the people come to the Friends’ Medical Mission. Sometimes it is very touching to see the people coming from far and near, carried on donkeys or mules, and some who are very weak are carried on a bed by four persons, to be brought to Dr. Bshara. When we enter into the waiting-room of the Dispensary, we see so many people of all kinds—Maronites, Greek Orthodox, Greek Ca­ tholics, &c.— all waiting for medical help. Perhaps in one corner we may see a Maronite, perhaps the very same priest who has perse­ cuted and opposed us—causing us many and many a tear. One of these priests stood up and greeted me very sweetly, seeming ashamed for all that he had done against us, and he said, ‘ I am so pleased and thankful that here we have medical help and assist­ ance.’ Perhaps in another place there is a Greek priest sitting—for the Greek priests have no fellowship with the Maronite priests. I can easily begin with him and talk about the Bible, and Salvation in Jesus Christ. Some of those who came down to excommunicate Richard Allen’s School have come for medical help, softened in their hearts, and ashamed for all they have done— we speak to them and their hearts are ready to receive instruction. Among many poor ragged people who are prostrated on the ground, with perhaps not enough clothes to cover their bodies, we may see a princess from the royal family of Mount Lebanon. She is dressed in beautiful silk, with diamonds glistening in the light, and she is also waiting for medical help. She enters the consultation room, with her servants, and is attended to, and with her we converse about the Gospel, as well as with the poor ragged people. Dr. Bshara has to attend to all these people one by one, sixty, seventy, or perhaps ninety in a day. They are very grateful for all his kindnesses, and for the benefits conferred by this branch of the Mission. Not long ago, a prince from Mount Lebanon— a de­ scendant of those princes who expelled the American Missionaries and burned their Bibles—came and said : ‘ The Society of Friends 25 is doing a very great and very good work here, and we are very thankful for it. Fou are teaching the ignorant—you open Schools in every part of the country, and you preach the Gospel to those who do not know Jesus Christ, and who used to think that their salvation existed only in the absolution of the priests. It is exceedingly good of you, and when you go to your friends in England, give our very kindest regards to the Society of Friends, and thank them for what they have done, and for having thus, Christ-like, healed the broken-hearted and the suffering.’ And he said,— ‘ We cannot but ask that our Heavenly Father may bless your Society abundantly, as well as yourself. Your reward will not be in this world, but in another and a better one.’ This in­ dicates the daybreak of a better time for Syria, and therefore, dear friends, let us work as much as we can and as long as we can— ‘ Work while it is day, for the night cometh when no man can work.’ ”

C h a r l e s G a y f o r d (who has been working at Hoshangabad, India, during the last six years) said:— “ Your work in India, is very different in many respects from that to which you have just listened. In India we meet with a large population, dwelling in villages and towns of various sizes, engaged in work of various kinds. Many in our district are engaged in agricultural pursuits —among whom are men of considerable culture and acuteness—a people who possess a civilization which dates back hundreds of years prior to that of our Christianity. Government Schools are in full operation, vernacular Schools, Anglo-vernacular Schools, and English Schools, so that the people even in the remote villages of India can get a cheap, good, plain education, almost for nothing. There is not therefore the same need for educational work, that there was in the early time when missionaries first laboured in India, seventy or eighty years ago. Your work in the central provinces of India, is of a different order. The government education preceded us there, and we have not found the same need existing for the primary education of the people among whom our lot is cast. At Hoshangabad we have however a small girls’ School which has been in existence since 1874, and we have also an elementary School for boys in Balagunge. I may briefly state the origin of this School. We were in the habit of going to Balagunge fre­ quently, for the purpose of reading to these poor people and ex­ pounding to them the truth as it is in Christ. We found them exceedingly simple and they were quite glad when we visited them. They would cluster round us in groups of fifty or sixty, and listen with the greatest attention while we read and expounded to them the truths of Jesus Christ, the parables of our Lord, His 26 miracles of healing; and His declarations of love and mercy. On one occasion when we were there, they said to me, ‘ we wish very much you would establish a School for our children here.’ I said, ‘ Are there not already government Schools in existence?’ ‘ Yes that is true,’ they replied, ‘ but our children would not be admitted into those Schools, we being of low caste. We know very well that in the eyes of the law there is no difference, but there are social restrictions and bonds over which we cannot step, we therefore wish very much you would establish a School for our boys.’ That led to the establishment of our Balagunge boys’ School. Another department of our work is in connection with the circulation of the Scriptures. The Bible Society have made us a grant of the colporteur’s salary and a suitable supply of books. The colporteur has gradually and successfully worked through the whole of the outlying districts, north, south, east and west, taking with him copies of the Gospels in Hindi and Oordoo together with translations of the Old Testament, and Christian books, tracts, and pamphlets. He goes into the villages and towns, the bazaars, and annual fairs, and has sold many books to the people. The Bible Society has fixed a nominal price upon them, in place of the original plan of free distribution. They charge two pies (equal to three farthings) for each Gospel; six annas (equal to ninepence) for the New Testament in Hindi; and four annas (equal to six­ pence) for an Oordoo New Testament, and at these prices the Scriptures are being sold throughout the district. We read portions of the Scriptures in Bazaars and places of public resort, and tell the people of the doctrines of Christianity and of Christ of whom they have, many of them, never heard. The question constantly has been: ‘ Who is Jesus Christ?’ We meet many people who have never heard of Christ, nor of Salvation, nor of God’s love for man. There is a great opening for the declaration of the sacred truths of Christianity; and we rejoice to tell you, that through your liberality, the Gospel has been proclaimed throughout the length and breadth of that district. In the Hoshangabad District alone we have a population of nearly half a million. We are the only European Missionaries at work in that district. The next Mission Station to the eastward, is Jabal- pore— 160 miles—and the nearest Mission to the southward, is Chindwara, 100 miles off. Then we have to the westward, Kandwah, 128 miles; and to the north-west, Indore, 150 miles; so that the whole of the inner circle radiating from Hoshangabad is unoccupied ground. Then there is the Zenana work— that is, visiting ladies at the invitation of gentlemen, at their houses, for the purpose of teaching them the true faith. The importance of this work can scarcely be overrated. Prejudice is very strong and very 27 deeply rooted, and this branch of the work has been steadily and persistently opposed. Soon after we settled in Hoshangabad, my wife sent out invitations to the native gentlemen, asking to be allowed to visit their houses at certain hours, once or twice a week, for the purpose of teaching their women; and she hoped they would place no obstacle in the way of her going; but although thirty or forty of these letters were sent out, yet only two opened their houses to the visits of my wife, both of them were men who had been educated and taken degrees at the Calcutta University. These two* houses have been regularly visited. We have received seven adult converts from heathenism, and four others who were formerly Christians residing in another district, making eleven native members. The method adopted by us for receiving members has been thus:—First an application for membership is made on the part of the convert wishing to join us, and we then institute strict enquiries respecting the applicant. It is necessary in India to exercise the greatest caution in this matter. We have been desirous that nothing should be allowed to rest in the minds and actuate those who have come forward, except living faith in Christ as the Saviour of the sinner. We ask friends to pray that the Mission-work in Hoshangabad— which is only in its infancy—may grow in strength. The standard of God’s truth has been unfurled in the Central Provinces of India; through your instrumentality a little band of Christians has been gathered. They need help; they need encouragement; they need teaching and guidance. This burden rests upon you, as well as the burden of extending that work. We are conscious of short­ comings, yet we have been constantly upheld and encouraged by the thought that God has wrought with us. We desire, whatever good has been accomplished, to render the praise unto God, the author of all good. It has been a greater privilege than I can tell you, to be able to take ever so small a part in this work, and I would commend it cordially to your sympathies, your interest, and your prayers.”

T h e C h a i r m a n said: “ Although Charles Gayford and his wife have returned to this country, there are four Friends still working out in India,— Samuel Baker and John and Effie Williams, who went out last year, and Rachel Metcalfe, who has been in the field so long. The first few years are always times of difficulty; but a small nucleus having now been formed, the work will, we hope,

* Soon afterwards an Extra Assistant Commissioner called on us and asked Mrs. Gk to go and teach his wife; and another Brahmin Munshi also made the same request. Thus, in all, four houses were open to receive her visits.—C.<3h 28 proceed more rapidly ; and we trnst friends will cheerfully accept the responsibility which rests upon them of exercising a Christian influence among a population of two millions of people, which the province of Hoshangabad and the outlying districts contain.”

H e n r y E c r o y d C l a b k said :—“ I feel it a great privilege to be here this evening and along with my friend whom I may call the most excellent Theophilus from Syria, and Charles Gayford from India, to take part in this meeting, and I cannot help asking why there should be two Societies, when we are thus so united. Many friends are asking this question, and I have not been able to give a good answer. A year ago I had abundant opportunity of speak­ ing on Madagascar, I have also during the last year and a half visited many parts of England giving information about the mission there, so that there are only one or two questions connected with the Madagascar mission that I wish to allude to now. I have frequently spoken of the kind and cordial feeling existing between the London Missionary Society and ourselves, I am then very glad to quote the following extract from the report of their missionaries in Madagascar, shewing their appreciation of the work of friends. “ The work of the Friends’ Foreign Mission Association has, from the first, been regarded as one with our own. The Friends hare never recognized any difference or distinotion, except such as is absolutely necessary to the manage­ ment of two independent societies—independent, we mean, in regard to support and internal arrangement. In all important public business we are united as one society, and appear as such in the eyes of the natives. Their joys and trials are ours, and ours are theirs. Meeting together, as we do, in our weekly prayer meeting, and in all our social gatherings, we cannot think of each other but as brethren united in one common work. The town church at Ambohi- tantely, and the country district of which the Friends have charge, are worked on the same general principles as those under the care of our own missionaries, and are united with us in our ‘ Congregational Union,’ ‘ The Native Missionary Society,1 and in all common work. The Boys’ School at Ambohijatovo, and the Girls’ School at Faravohitra, we regard with much the same interest as that with which we regard our own, and rejoice equally with the Friends in the prosperity of these valuable institutions. The Medical Mission work is also theirs as well as ours. The funds for repairing the Hospital have been pro­ vided chiefly by the Friends, and the repairs, though involving a considerable amount of extra labour, are being kindly superintended by Mr. Johnson, of the Friends’ Society.” “ A year ago I cannot but remember that we were presided over by our late dear friend Edward Backhouse, and I shall never forget my interview with him at his own house at Sunderland, when in the kindest way he gave me ¿£100, which gave a start to the fund raised last year for the rebuilding of the boys’ school at Antanan­ arivo. And now in saying farewell, I know the many possibilities that may prevent our return to England, and our attendance at any 29 future annual meeting of this Association. But I do not anticipate disaster and I desire that my last words shall be words of hope and cheer. I believe that the prospect of our mission in Madagascar was never brighter than at the present time. It is true that our staff in the island is at present small, but I believe that before long other labourers will enter that great harvest field. The question of money does not trouble me ; if there are those properly qualified to go out to the work the money will be forth­ coming ; it always has, and I believe it always will. I am anxious that the Society of Friends should take its proper share in this great and glorious work. A recent writer, says: ‘ The duty of the Church is to purify itself within and extend itself without’ and the ages are given for its fulfilment Much has been said during this Yearly Meeting of friends being faithful in their day and generation. May they who are called to service in Madagascar be thus faithful. Ours is no hard service but a high privilege and thus we feel it to be. And in leaving this country again, one thing only do we desire, that God’s will may be done, and that in the future yet more than in the past, we may be supported by your prayers, that our way may be made clear and plain, no doubts and no fears, and that we may see more and more, men and women bom again in Christ Jesus, and that the little children also may be brought into the Saviour’s fold; that the wilderness and the desert may blossom as the rose, and that God in all things may be glorified. And whether we meet again on earth or not, may we all through the mercy of God in Christ Jesus, in the end be permitted to have a place, if but in the very outermost circle of that vast crowd of redeemed ones, from every nation and people who for ever and ever, shall surround the throne of God and for ever and for evermore join in the great song of praise— ‘ Salvation to our God who sitteth on the throne and unto the Lamb.’

I s a a c B r o w n said: I wish just to s a y , that up to the end o f 1877, before the Training Home on Mount Lebanon was established, the operations of the Syrian Committee were very much more limited than they are at present. We had an income that was ample; and, as more money was not needed, no exertions were made to increase the number of subscribers. At the end of 1878, however, we found ourselves £300 over-drawn. Then we want at least ¿£300 or ¿£400 more annually, so as not to diminish our operations. Unless the subscriptions come in the work must be in some way curtailed, and that would be a thing which we should all deeply regret.”

B is h o p I I i l l e r t , a coloured missionary from San Francisco 30 said:—I need not tell you, dear friends, that we have a nation five millions strong in the United States, a nation of Freedmen which is down, almost at the base of manhood, clad in the habiliments of ignorance and degradation, a nation which under God is just beginning to struggle into life and light and liberty. For that people I come pleading to England. We are struggling to have our little coloured boys and girls taught to read, and our older boys and girls to think of Heaven and love the name of Jesus. Ever since I was nineteen years of age I have been trying, by the grace of God, with my limited ability, to elevate my people in the United States—my life is on the altar for them— I consecrate my all to God and the interest of my people. Some of you may have thought, ‘ What does that black man want? He says he is a missionary,’ and so I am. It is a black blot on the fair escutcheon of the American people—that with but few exceptions coloured people are not allowed to worship in the same place of worship as white people. We are made to feel—‘ You are black; please get over there.’ Hence the necessity for our own efforts. It is true that through the liberality of many kind friends we have had schools and universities established for us in the large centres at Washington, and Nashville, Tennessee ; but in the outlying districts in the far west, on the Pacific coast, there are 30,000 people with no Seminary, College, School or Church, except such as by our hard labours and personal sacrifices we have gathered together for coloured people. I have to preside over the coloured Churches within an area of some 2,500 miles, and yet within the whole of that district we have but four places of worship.”

T h e C h a ir m a n :— “ I hope after the proceedings of this evening we shall go away afresh stimulated with interest in this mission work in various lands. Our late dear friend Edward Backhouse, who presided at the Annual Meeting of this Association last year, has gone into the presence of the King, while we are left for a while longer here to spread the knowledge of that King; and I hope this meeting will have had its influence in giving us an earnest desire to promote the eternal welfare of the people of all lands.”

The Meeting closed with prayer. MADAGASCAR REPORTS.

No. 1. WILLIAM JOHNSON’S REPORT.

In the midst o f incessant occupation the rapid flight of time is scarcely noticed, and it requires some thought to recal the details o f the work which has been done during the past year. Thanks to the very kind and hearty response with which the appeal for the enlargement of Ambohijatovo was met, we were able to begin work last dry season. Owing, however, to difficulties in the site we have made but slow progress; the walls at the east end of the building are some 12ft. out of the ground, and now all is covered in till after the rains. When the dry weather again sets in, nothing should prevent our getting on rapidly and finishing off that end within the year. Meanwhile we are in such a state of dust and heat, with every available square yard occupied with piles of wood or bricks, both within and without, that there is little fear of unnecessary delay being incurred. The teachers look forward to being so comfortably housed that they make light of present inconvenience. The School continues to be very full— about 250 on the books. There is a growing desire among youths in the country to get the advantage of a year or two’s training in town. Some 50 of the above are from our district, and, with a dozen from other places, form the men’s branch of the school at present under the care of William Wilson. Several of the men have been settled in our district as teachers, and 32 a number from the boys’ school have gone to other districts in a similar capacity; one has gone to study medicine under the Norwegian doctor, four have become teachers in the school itself, and several have become Government writers. Country work has engaged a good deal of my time during the past year. We have, among us, endeavoured to maintain a regular monthly visitation of the whole district, except that to the extreme west. My own particular share of this work lies at the south corner of the district, and has been visited monthly with but slight exception, and every alternate month I have been able, generally, to pass across to meet the teachers under H. E. Clark’s care. In my district there are thirteen congregations, and three others, several hours to the west, dependent on them. Among them all, there are nine teachers at work. The schools are yet but small, those at Tsirangaina, Ankeribe, and Ambohimandry being the most successful. There is a great deal of prejudice and indifference on the part of the parents of the children ; they do not see the use of education, and feel suspicious that it has some connection with government service, and is to be disliked and shirked as such. When once the children have got a little hold of reading, &c., they enjoy learning and are desirous to improve. Some effort has been made to induce the grown up people to learn to read, thanks to Andrianony interesting himself in the matter. But they find it slow up-hill work, and few have perseverance to make much out at it. We use a f preacher’s plan’ among these congregations, in order that a certain amount of regular teaching may be enjoyed by them. Many of the preachers are very diligent in going to distant places week after week, and in doing what in them lies to help others. The half-yearly meetings at Tsirangaina have been regularly held. They maintain their popular character, and become increasingly a power in the district. The chapel in which these meetings are held has been enlarged for their accommodation. The work was carried out by the people at Tsirangaina with help in the form of money contributions from several of the other congregations. There are some 400 church members in this district most of whom were received in 1870 and 1871, after the burning of the idols. During the past year only 23 have been received, 9 have been disowned, & 20 have left the neighbourhood or have died. The people as yet do but little to support their teachers. In some cases they collect rice sufficient for their use but often the quantity falls short of their needs. Of money they have so little that we hesitate in the present weak state of the churches to press them to do more than help in kind. They make a small annual collection for the native Missionary Society, and for the very poor, the sick, and the bereaved. Several youths from this district come up to town to learn at Ambohijatovo, in fact the difficulty is to keep down the number within reasonable limits. One of them now in the first class has been employing his holiday this Christmas in collecting and drying wild flowers, of which he has brought, in competition for Isaac Brown’s prize, 153 varieties, each with its Malagasy name. We have no time to go into Botany or other sciences at the school; perhaps when a few more friends come out and relieve the pressure of necessary work, we may find a little time for such things, an interest in which would greatly help our young men by giving them employ­ ment for their abundant leisure. The mother of the youth mentioned above is a great strength to the church where she lives, and often helps me by her advice and information on matters relating to the people there. She is one whose light bums brightly, whose good works are seen of men, and whose name is, I trust, written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. My work in H. E. Clark’s district has consisted in meeting the teachers, paying their salaries, doing a few hours teaching, selling books, slates, etc., and advising in the hundred difficulties which are brought for solution. Very pleasant 34 work it is, for many of these men are in real earnest to improve themselves, and to know more and more of the things of the kingdom of our Saviour. They walk over from places distant from two to ten miles to some central village previously agreed upon, and are ready to begin work the moment I get out of my palanquin. The draw-back to my pleasure in visiting them is the thought that my class at Ambohijatovo is in the meantime losing two days’ teaching. Wm. JOHNSON.

SAMUEL CLEMES’ REPOET.

As my own department of the work has undergone little, if any, change since the last Report was written, I thought it would be acceptable, as a variety, to set down pretty concisely a few particulars that will help friends at home to appreciate the magnitude of the labours that are carried on in their name in Madagascar. With the state of the district when it was first taken in hand, the Reports sent home by J. S. Sewell and others have already made you acquainted. The low standard of Christian life, the paucity of Schools, the dense ignorance and blind superstition of the natives in our district have been sufficiently dwelt upon. But it will be well to keep these things in mind while dwelling upon the results that have actually been attained. When I was about leaving England, six years ago, I remember well that many excellent people dissuaded me on the ground that the natives of Mad­ agascar were all, or almost all, Christians already, and that no further teaching was wanted, and no great work remained to be done. I need hardly say that these prognostications were not fulfilled, and there will be plenty of hard work and 35 diligent prayer needed before this country can be safely left to its own course of development. From the very beginning we have not judged it our duty to raise up separate churches, or introduce new forms of discipline or of faith. We have always tried to help forward, on their own lines, those Malagasy Christians with whom we have been associated. And with regard to the L.M.S. Missionaries, with whom we are so closely related, both socially and in our work, we can sincerely echo their words about us: “ In all important public business, we are united as one Society, and appear as such in the eyes of the natives. In all social matters we know no difference. Their joys and trials are ours, and ours are theirs. Meeting together, as we do in our weekly prayer meeting, and in all our social gatherings, we cannot think of each other but as brethren united in one common work.” Nevertheless, it was judged expedient that, for purposes of efficiency, simply, we should take charge of a separate district The district we have charge of is one-sixth of Imerina, and reaches as far south as to the borders of the Betsileo, and, on the west to the Sakalava. Its extreme length is about 70 miles, and its greatest breadth about 35 miles. That is roughly, I suppose, a district about the size of Cumberland. And when it is added that all the religious and educational work in that district is either in our hands or under our direction, it will be easily seen that we have undertaken on your behalf a very serious and wide-reaching responsibility. Of course it is perfectly understood that there are no roads worthy of the name in all the district, and no means of getting from place to place but the palanquin. Hence a journey that with a railway would be only a question of two or three hours, becomes a serious affair, consuming two or three days. These facts being kept well in mind, I may go on to give a few statistics shewing the present state of the district under our care. Besides the congregation at Ambohitantely, of 36 which mention will be made farther on, we have now 108 congregations in the country. There are only 18 native pastors regularly appointed, but at the majority of these places there is some one responsible in charge, who acts as pastor to the best of his ability. There are 21 evangelists paid by us, who constantly refer difficult cases for our consideration and advice. There are 241 native preachers regularly accredited as such, but the freedom from form enjoyed by the Malagasy church allows almost anyone, who has a gift for exhortation, to use it for the edification of his brethren. There are 2880 in our district recognized by their companions as members of the church, and those who seek admission are and have for some time been subject to a fairly complete scrutiny as to conduct, and some sufficiently difficult tests of mental capacity and actual understanding of what church membership means and implies. The attend­ ance at these country chapels is reckoned at upwards of 26,000, and this necessarily ensures that they shall hear, more or less clearly, at least some of the leading truths of Christianity. Out of that number there are 1108 adults able to read, although some of these, it must be confessed, are but stumbling readers. This number will seem small to those who do not remember that it is barely seventy years ago since books and reading were introduced into this country, and it is only in the last few years that they have become at all common. There are 1900 Bibles or Testaments known to be in the possession of these country congregations, and there must be many more belonging to our scholars and others, not included in that number. We have 84 village schools under our charge, and most of the teachers are supported by us. At some of the places a small payment of rice is made by the church, and we are doing our utmost to extend this custom, as a means of leading the people to support their own teachers. The number of scholars in regular attendance at these 84 schools is 2761, and 1751 of them are able to read. These scholars are our hope for the 37 future, and our great trouble is that toe are too few to attend properly to the wants of these country schools. The numbers in attendance, and the attainments of the scholars, would be capablo of almost indefinite improvement, were we able to devote more time to them. In addition to all this scattered work, there is plenty here in town to occupy our time and energies. The church at Ambohitantely has grown steadily but surely ever since

HELEN GILPIN’S REPORT. In reviewing another year’s work, we find it bearing very much of the same character as the years preceding, except, 40 perhaps, more discipline has been needed and received from the loving hand of our Heavenly Father. During the early months of the year our friend S. T. Street most kindly took upon herself a very large share of the work, and not only so, but prepared a quantity of sewing to help us on during the half-year following her departure from us. We opened school on the 5th of 2nd month, 1878, with 173 present, and our dear friend not only had the school to attend to, but was most kind to me during many hours of weakness and suffering, for in the 4th month I was laid aside from active labour for three weeks, from the 8th to the 28th, when I was again able to resume my classes as usual. We broke up our school for our winter holidays on the 31st of 5th month, when Samuel Clemes gave our girls a thorough examination, which shewed that they were making real progress. Sarah Street left us on the 2nd of 7th month, and I went with her as far as Isoavina, where I stayed a fortnight with our kind friends Mr. and Mrs. Peake, hoping to lay up a store of strength for the following half-year’s work. We re-opened school on the 22nd of 7th month, with 177 present, and kept on without interruption until the 28th of 8th month, when I was completely laid aside for two months, the longest time I have been unable to teach ever since I came to Madagascar, in 1869. E. H. Brockway, who had come from the Betsileo mission to our assistance, not being well at the time, we sorrowfully dismissed our scholars. Of course this irregularity had its effect on our schools, and we re-opened on the 28th of 10th month, with only 124 present. Although the attendance at the end of the year was further interrupted by the yearly feast of the nation, and the depar­ ture of the Queen to Ambohimanga, our average attendance steadily increased from week to week, and when we closed school on the 29th of 11th month for our summer holidays, it was 158. S. Clemes again most kindly undertook the 41 examinations, and gave a most stirring and suitable address to our young teachers. E. H. Brockway is a great help, she takes the oversight of the school, gives Bible lessons to the four junior classes, and teaches the English classes, geogra­ phy, &c., so we are beginning this year with feelings of encouragement ; but as seven of our good teachers have left us, from one cause or another, we shall be only too thankful to have some extra permanent help, and to welcome our friend Annie Pumphrey, for the oversight needed by the young inexperienced teachers we have now, is more than we are able to give, when the size and importance of the first and second classes are considered. We are thankful to have Frank’s wife again amongst us,— given us truly in our time of need. She is one of our mainstays in the upper school, and is always willing to give assistance to our younger helpers from time to time. We have also cause for gratitude in the return of our head teacher, Ramatoa, who has been kept away for some time by the illness of her only son. The influence exercised by this truly Christian woman, upon our large and interesting women’s class, cannot be too highly appreciated; and the manner in which she teaches them aud really gets them on, is admi­ rable. This class is now in a very satisfactory condition as to numbers, owing to W . Wilson’s persevering efforts in persuading his country students to send their wives to school. That these poor women come to us extremely ignorant, may be seen from the answers they give to the questions we ask them. Now they are so numerous we have given them a class-room all to themselves, and I give them a Bible lesson by themselves also. I asked them one day to tell me some of the things God had made, and one, looking very bright, as if a happy thought had struck her, answered— “ The desks! ” Many of them have no idea how to hold their needles, or how to put on their thimbles. When asked by one of the teachers, “ Why do you not put on your thimble ? ” one of them replied, u We do not want to break 42 the English needles.” My own work now consists of lessons in Bible History, and the sewing department. These are no small items ; the former, because of its importance ; the latter, because it never seems to be finished, and I greatly lack the skill of our friend S. Street, who has had this department under her care so long. It is a cheering sight to see our school-room so well filled, but as it involves a great amount of responsibility, we will conclude with our usual request of “ Brethren pray for us.” HELEN GILPIN.

SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE F. F. M. A. PRINTING OFFICE. The past year has been to us rather a dull one, when com­ pared with 1877; for while in 1877 the sales amounted to 67,310 copies, in 1878 not more than 53,229 were effected. In 1877 the money value of books and school materials was £1,140, while in 1878 it was only £870. To people living here the causes for this falling off are obvious; but for the information of friends at home, it will be necessary to state that the past year has been one of great commercial depression. Then, too, the people have not been very diligent to place their children in the Schools ; and con­ sequently the demand for school-books and materials has not been akin to that of 1877, when such great numbers were received into them. Then, too, it must not be forgotten that the F. F. M. A. office was set on foot for the purpose of assisting in supplying long-felt needs, and that when those needs were supplied, the office work and income must become somewhat normal. Indeed, it would be impossible to 43 go on at that high-pressure rate at which we worked during the first five years of the existence of the establishment ; and some of us here have had to learn that human energy and will, however highly tempered have their limits. Perhaps it is a good thing in many ways that such is the present condi­ tion of affairs. However, it may with safety be said that the office has covered its own expenses during the past year, with the ex­ ception of the printer’s salary. But of course, the first con­ sideration in our work is no mercenary one, but as to how we can best and most successfully use the means at our disposal for the circulation of such books as shall benefit these people, both in a spiritual and a temporal sense. The accom­ panying tabular statement, descriptive of the books issued, will enable our friends to judge of the measure of our success or otherwise. Of all the books ever issued in Madagascar certainly the most popular one is “ Ny Sakaizan’ny Ankizy Madinika,” or 11 The Children’s Friend.” People are delighted with “ What we saw across the Seas,” by Rasoa and Frank, which is published in this Magazine month by month. To Rasoa and Frank we are indebted for much other help in this publication, and but for their constant assistance we should be badly off. The only European who contributes any articles (with the exception of the Editor) is Mr. Smith, of the S. P. Gr., who, in a conversational style, writes chapters on u The History of England,” which seem to excite general interest. We cannot be too warm in our thanks to the scholars in Friends’ schools, who have, at the instigation of Isaac Sharp, so generously subscribed for the engravings of this magazine. One of the most important books issued during the year is, “ Lessons rrom the Old Testament,” by our friend S. Clemes. It was prepared for the use of preachers and teachers, &c. Scarcely less in importance, are the translations of Mac- lear’s “ Old and New Testament Histories ; ” the former by Frank, and the latter by Rasoa. 44 An adaptation of Dr. Green’s “ Lectures on the Bible ’’ has also been made. In the Good Samaritan line we have issued a valuable little book, after the style of u Until the Doctor comes.” This book has had much care and thought bestowed upon its preparation by S. Clemes, Frank, and others ; and so good and useful is it that I imagine it will be long before anything better of the kind can be brought out. Though the circula­ tion has not been large, yet those sent out are principally in the hands of evangelists, pastors, and teachers, who use it to assist them in their efforts to alleviate the sufferings of those by whom they are surrounded. In the secular education line, we have issued the “ Mala­ gasy Annual,” which is freely illustrated with lithographs. Also Mr. Johnson’s revised and greatly-improved “ Lessons in English ” have been printed, as well as his new (i Little Geography ; ” and a new edition of “ Fractions ; ” while Mr. Thorne has prepared a nice little “ Mental Arithmetic ” for the use of teachers. Mr. Toy’s “ Physical Geography ” is also a most sub­ stantial and valuable book, and such as will serve its purpose for many years to come. I cannot close this brief report without saying how much we are indebted to Frank for all the assistance he has given us during the past year. In fact he has been our right hand ; and but for his diligence and willingness we should have been in difficulties. Rasoa would be equally willing to assist us in like manner ; but since he has been chosen a private secretary to the Queen, he is very fully occupied in the palace. I feel bound to mention these facts for the en­ couragement of those friends who are specially interested in Frank and Rasoa. In the work turned out there is certainly very great im­ provement ; and it is quite evident that the Malagasy only want continuous perseverance, in order to make clever workmen. 45

We all find our literary work much lightened by the aid which we receive from our thoroughly good native readers, Andriankola and Rajafetra, two old scholars of Mr. Sewell’s. In the lithographic line we have not done much during the past year, but what little work we have turned out shows a vast improvement upon all our previous productions ; the most notable being a school wall-map of the world, and a title-page and frontispiece for “ The Children’s Friend.” Let those who are assisting in this work be encouraged by knowing that the things which we are printing and cir­ culating are of lasting benefit, which shall live and flourish and bear a rich and an abundant harvest, when we frail and imperfect stumbling workers shall have passed away, “ Where is the seed we scatter, With weak and trembling hand, Beside the gloomy waters, Or on the arid land ? Not lost! for after many days Our prayer and toil shall turn to praise.” A. KINGDON.

No. 5. WILLIAM WILSON’S REPORT OF THE MEN’S SCHOOL, AMBOHIJATOYO.

Since my last report was written, in Dec., 1877, I have had charge of the Men’s School, and on looking back upon the work of the past year, we cannot but feel thankful for the prosperous and peaceful time we have all been enjoying. A week or two after the admission of the new students, in January, 1878, I found myself with a school of 55 men, who all seemed anxious to set to work at once and make the most of their time. With these numbers it was found 46 necessary to form a fourth class of some five or six who could do next to nothing in either ciphering or writing, and very little reading. This class has, I believe, been a benefit, both to the scholars who were first placed in it, and also to the third class. Two months had scarcely elapsed, however, before our numbers became very much less, some ten or twelve having dropped off, owing, no doubt, to their finding the regular discipline of everyday school too severe a strain upon them, after having always lived a life of ease and indolence in the country. One student was also appointed to a country school about this time. Again, within less than another month, on account of the severe fever prevalent at the time, our numbers were again reduced, so that from 30 to 35 was our usual daily attendance, until just before the ex­ amination, when 44 regularly appeared to the end of the half-year. Of this examination I shall say but little, as mere results in figures mean nothing, without also a knowledge of the questions by which those results were obtained. Suffice it to say, that the answers displayed, in most cases, the evidence of careful and steady persevering work having gone on week by week; and with the exception of a few students in the second class, all appeared to have made good progress during this unsettled time. One result of my daily round of the classes was, that I was able now and then to give the teachers a few useful hints ; and in a short time I plainly saw at what lessons my presence was most needed. It was thus I became firmly convinced of the thorough incompetency of the teacher of the first class. Poor fellow, he was never very bright, but owing to the fewness of teachers of any sort, when the school was first started, he had obtained a position where the standard was continually advancing, while he alone seemed to remain stationary. No wonder then that he had to leave. William Johnson kindly 47 offered to let me have one of his teachers— a young fellow with good abilities, and apparently well fitted for such a post, Rakotomanga by name— whom I gladly accepted; and now, after a six months’ trial, I think I can safely say that it was a change for the better, not affecting the first class only, but giving to the whole school a somewhat higher tone than it before possessed. The increasing demand made on our limited accommoda­ tion led me to institute a simple examination, which should be passed by those wishing to enter. Simple addition was practically all that was required, if done with tolerable accuracy, yet even this was sufficient to baffle three appli­ cants, but the rest, twenty-two in number, were admitted, making a total of fifty-seven to begin another session with. The removal of the room on the east side of the premises, on account of the alterations now in process, made a fresh arrangement of classes necessary in order to continue the boys’ Scriptural instruction. Three days a week the students go to Samuel Clemes (at his house) for lessons in physical geography, school management, and in the proper method of imparting religious instruction; the latter two, especially, being a source of great pleasure and enjoyment to the older ones, several of whom are pastors of country congregations. For Scripture, the school is divided into two— the lower half being taken by Rakotomanga (the first class teacher), and the upper by myself. Two classes of boys also come to me for Scripture lessons during the absence of the men from Ambohijatovo, when attending Samuel Clemes’s lectures mentioned above. The regularity of attendance during this half-year was decidedly good. The number of students at the examination was fifty-one, being only six short of the number we started with, and one of those, I am sorry to say, died after a two- days’ illness whilst on a visit to his friend at Mahatsinjo. When examining the attendance for the half-year, it was 48 extremely gratifying to find that no less than twelve students had been regularly at school morning and after­ noon, never having been absent once during school hours; upon which William Johnson remarked that he never re­ membered more than four to have been thus regular during a half-year since the commencement of the school. During the past year, nine have left us to take charge of schools in various parts of our district, and one also has returned to the church of which he is pastor. I cannot close this report without thanking friends for the hearty manner in which they granted our request to build a few more dwelling-houses for our scholars from the country. They are now nearly completed, making with the six former ones, a total of fifteen, which will accommodate more than that number of students comfortably. There is such a demand for them now, that if an occupant goes into the country to attend a monthly meeting, and perchance stays away an extra day or so, I am nearly sure to have some one come to me begging to be allowed to take pos­ session, as he confidently assures me the house is empty. It has often been a serious question with us when bring­ ing unmarried students from the country, as to where they could live; for if they were to be simply left to dwell in the midst of all the temptation and wickedness of a large and crowded town, the remedy seemed worse than the disease ; and we had better leave them to learn as much as they could in their native place, and be satisfied with that, than take upon ourselves such serious responsibilities. However, these houses are here, at Faravohitra, and, I firmly believe, cannot fail to be productive of much good; and being airy, substantial dwellings, they must promote a far healthier state of both mind and body, than the miserable hovels they would be otherwise existing in.
