TWELFTH ANNUAL REPORT. 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.

  • Patterns of Membership and Participation Among British Quakers, 1823 – 2012

The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract During the 1850s there was rising concern in the Society of Friends about declining membership. From the 1840s attempts were made to obtain hard statistics on adherence and in the late 20th century another decline again reduced numbers to the level of the 1850s and 1860s. This thesis reviews and analyses data from the middle of the 19th century to 2012, illuminating variation in both membership and participation in church worship and governance. It presents new data on participation in meeting for worship and provides geographical and socio- metric data on the origins of enquiries about Quakerism, providing both a research tool for further work by bringing large volumes of information together and illuminating the ways in which the size and the social structure of the Society of Friends has varied with time.

    25 QUAKER MISSIONARY WORK IN GERMANY FROM 1790 until 1899. LIST OF ALL ANGLO-AMERICAN VISITORS. he first and only Quaker settlement in continental Europe was founded in 1792, when Duke Frederick of Pyrmont T(1743-1812) permitted a group of Pietists to found "Friedensthal" (Peace Valley) near Pyrmont in the very heart of Germany.1 The settlement consisted of several modern communal houses and workshops. Ludwig Seebohm (1757-1835), the master mind of early German Quakerism, operated a printing press and a paper factory, David Frank manufactured knives and Theodor Marschhausen directed the first German Quaker school. The significance of the prospering settlement lay in modern educational endeavours, such as liberal pedagogy, new Quaker literature, and the founding of a girl's boarding school by Judith Bawier. The spacious meeting house was build in 1800, the second one in Germany after Friedrichstadt (1678). Visitors to Friedensthal, who included poet Matthias Claudius (1740-1815), Princess Luise of Prussia and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, who however, did not ultimately become a Quaker. The settlement maintained close contact with various Anglo- American Friends, who usually were appointed by their local meetings for travelling in the ministry. Over the nineteenth century, a constant growing number of visitors also came as tourists, without any certificate from their home meetings. The more prominent visitors included Thomas Shillitoe, Benjamin Seebohm, Stephen Grellet and Elizabeth Fry. Nearly all important Quakers of the nineteenth century come to Germany, some of them frequently. More than once you will find clerks among them or other important representatives of the Society of Friends.
