AMOY Educational Work Girls’ High School.—Miss Duryee reports: There are two special events which make the year 1925 important in the history of the school. One is the special revival meetings held by Mr. John Wang in the spring which resulted in a number of the girls deciding to become Christians, and the quickening of many others who were already Christians to a new spiritual life. Mr. Wang is a young Chinaman who left a good position in the navy to become an evangelist. He speaks very simply but in the * On furlough, 1926. t In America. power of the Holy Spirit. There was confession of sin, a number united with the church and a Y. W. C. A. was started in the school as a result of the meetings. In the fall term meetings were also held by Miss Dora Yu another Spirit-filled Chinese. The other great event was the moving of the school to the building given to us by the Woman’s Board of Foreign Missions in commemoration of their Jubilee; and formerly used by Talmage College. After Talmage went to Chiang-chiu we worked very hard getting masons and carpenters to do the most necessary repairs so that we could move in for the new term in February. After the repairs were finished some old furniture left by Talmage had to be moved out and our own school furniture moved in. Many hands helped and at last the deed was done and we were very happy to be in a proper school building of our own. The new dormitory was not begun until October but at the time of writing it is going up rapidly, and promises to be a most commodious and comfortable building. We are now using the second story of the class room building for sleeping quarters and shall greatly appreciate it when we can have a proper dormitory. We send our most grateful thanks to the Woman’s Board and to all the friends at home who made this school plant possible for us. The first term opened with seventy-eight pupils and the same staff of teachers as the year before. Mr. Ko was obliged to give up his work because of illness shortly after school opened and died in the summer. Mr. Ko was a young man, a brilliant Chinese scholar and an excellent teacher. He never openly confessed himself a Chris­ tian but he knew the truth and attended a weekly Bible class regu­ larly, and we cherish the hope that he will be found among the great multitude who will one day gather around the throne of the Lamb. Miss Chang, our Pekinese teacher, is now Mrs. Lim as she was mar­ ried in the summer to Dr. Lim, a brother of the principal of the school. Shortly before her marriage she united with the church. We changed matrons at the time of moving to the new building. Mrs. Chu our present matron is a very earnest Christian, and very well fitted for her position. Eight girls were graduated in June. Of these, three taught in our own Primary School, one in the Tong-an Girls’ School and two in non-Christian girls’ schools. Of our total of twenty-five graduates in the autumn ten were teaching in Mission schools, four in other schools, eight were continuing their studies in different institutions. One of them was studying in the Bible Training School in Nanking and we hope there many others will join her. Three Vacation Bible Schools were held, one in the school building in Kolongsu, one in Amoy, and one in the island of Quemoy., In conclusion let me quote from some letters received from a few of the' girls: ■ - From a graduate who is teaching, “I have received the grace of the Lord more than I could have dreamed of, such exceeding grace. My heart is constantly filled with gratitude. Now I am taking a little of my* first salary and beg of you to use it for some poor person, or to buy books for some girl in our school who has no money to buy them, for I do not know how to do it myself.” From a graduate studying in a normal school for physical train­ ing in Shanghai, a non-Christian school, “Among the forty girls in the school I alone come from Fukien and am a Christian. But though I am staying in this anti-Christian school I can say that I have not missed reading the Bible and communing with God a single morning. I ask a blessing before every meal. The others thought it very strange and asked me what I was doing with my eyes closed and I told them I was praying. Now the whole school know that I am a Christian and there is nothing strange. Sometimes before eating, my companions at the same table tell me to hurry and pray so I can eat. I hope very much that I can lead them to Christ but this strength is not in myself. I hope that all of my teachers will help me by prayer that I may have this strength.” From a graduate in the Bible Teachers’ Training School in Nanking, “On coming here every day the lessons are very interesting. I wish to hear and to practice; the more I study the more interesting and wonderful it is.” Amoy Girls’ Primary School.—Miss Beekman reports: The Amoy Girls’ Primary School had an enrollment of 444 pupils (120 board­ ing and 324 day) for the spring term of 1925, and 412 pupils (98 boarding and 314 day) for the fall term. The seven grades were divided into eighteen classes, and there were twenty-eight teachers on the staff, giving full or part time. During the spring term there were several events of outstanding interest. On the evening of April 2nd the teachers of the four Christian girls’ schools on Kolongsu gathered for a “get-acquainted meeting” at which there was a program of music, speeches, and refreshments. On May 5th the pupils of the same schools, of the highest year Elementary, High School and Normal grades, about two hundred in all, also had a “get-acquainted” gathering, an after­ noon of games and races. On April-11th, the girls of the graduating class had their outing, a picnic to Amoy Island, visiting the seven mountain shrines. May 30th, there was a “Mothers’ Meeting,” when the mothers and aunts and big sisters of the pupils were invited to visit the school. After they had looked around awhile, there was a meeting in the chapel and then tea and an exhibition of games and drill and folk dances in the drill court, each class taking part. At the end of April there was a series of meetings held in the schools by Mr. John Wong, a Chinese evangelist of Foochow. His quiet, forceful message brought many of the girls, who had already learned much of the way of salvation, to a decision and strengthened the resolve of others to lead more consecrated lives of service. Fifty- six girls attended a class with the pastor of the Second Church of Amoy, to prepare for church membership. The first Sunday in June • twenty-nine girls from the Primary School united with the Second Church and on November 29th nine others united with the First Church. Others are to unite with their own churches in the country and some are still in preparatory classes. On June 23rd a class of fifty-five was graduated from the Primary School. The graduation exercises were held in conjunction with those of the High School in the Chinese church. Twenty-two of these graduates entered our High School in the fall. Fifty-three girls also received certificates for having completed the Lower Primary course. Fortunately the anti-forejgn and anti-Christian feeling following the Shanghai affair of May 30th did not affect our schools and the work was carried on as usual. During the spring term two of the school children died. They were both from heathen homes. Just as school opened in the fall, one of the teachers was taken to the hospital with typhoid fever. For some time she hung between life and death, but before the end of the term she was able to be back in the school, though not yet able to carry full work. One of the teachers left in the fall to study in the Bible Training School in Nanking, and another to go to Ginling College. We have been fortunate in having seven of our High School graduates teaching in the school. During the summer months thirty-nine of the girls conducted 14 Vacation Bible Schools, reaching over four hundred children who would otherwise have had no opportunity. The outstanding holidays during the fall term were October 10th, when the schools met in the market place for the .salute to the flag and then marched along the streets; October 30th, a play time. at the beach for the children of the first three grades of the English Presbyterian school and ours; November 6th, the picnic of the highest class to Amoy; and November 27th, an afternoon of games for the girls of the 4th, 5th and 6th grades of the schools of the two Missions. • At Christmas time the girls, as in previous years, helped poor people. The girls of the Higher Primary contributed $82.25 with which they bought cloth to give to fifty women and seventy-five chil­ dren in Amoy. The children also received cakes and candy. Tickets were given to the Bible Women of four churches in Amoy, to be distributed to really poor people. One hundred and fifty girls went over to the Second Church, Amoy, on Christmas day for a meeting with these poor people, after which the gifts were distributed. The children of the Lower Primary contributed $58.15, with which they helped in the same way thirty-seven women and seventy-six children on Kolongsu the day after Christmas. On Christmas evening they had their own little celebration in the school. Two Sunday Schools have been held throughout the year, one for the older girls after morning church, taught by the teachers, and one in the afternoon for the younger children, taught by the High School girls. The attendance at both Sunday School and church has been very good, many classes having perfect attendance each Sunday. Through the Sunday School lessons and the Bible lessons in the regular curriculum, the Gospel message is being brought to all the pupils, to those from heathen homes as well as to the Christians, and we are rejoiced to see signs of the growing of the seed planted in these hearts. But there is little in the home life of many of them to help them in their growth, and so we ask your prayers for them and for us, that.the seed may be fruitful. Charlotte Duryee Bible School.—Miss K. M. Talmage reports: The number of those who have the opportunity to hear the Gospel, is growing constantly. Although many could not return, many new women have come. Some who cannot study long often' surprise us with the knowledge they have received of the truth that has entered into their hearts, and we feel thankful. During the spring term there were between sixty and seventy pupils. ■ This last term there have been only about fifty who have been with us long enough to learn much. The unsettled state of the country and the long con­ tinued drought have made expenses rise and many women have been prevented from coming to study. Many of the new pupils both terms have made very good progress and can read, and some can also write. ‘ , This term the amount of fees has been less and some have been able to pay but a few dollars. The expenses have been greater as everything has gone up in price, and besides we have engaged a teacher who this spring graduated from the Bible Training School at Nanking. We felt that ■with her help the women would have better opportunity to study the Bible. Before she went to Nanking she was the Chinese principal of a girls’ school so we knew she was a woman of experience. She teaches Bible classes and has personal talks with the women to find out their difficulties and to help their spiritual life. Next year she may give part of her time to Bible Woman’s work in connection with the church on this island. Last June several women were given diplomas as they had studied several years in a special class to prepare for work as Bible Women or to work in the churches where they are members. Of those who graduated, one is doing excellent work in Leng-na, one is working in Sio-khe, one is assisting in our Women’s School, one is a matron in a girls’ school, one of the younger women is teaching in a day school, and one, marrying soon after graduation, is a blessing to the home that she has entered. This year we have some very promising women, whom I am sure will be a blessing wherever they go after they leave the school. One of the women who was in the school a year or more ago, is now living at her home in one of the villages on Amoy Island. The family is well off, and she has children and grandchildren. Some are now abroad in business. This woman, Mrs. Pomelo, seems a very earnest Christian. This year she wanted to do some Christian work, but did not know just what to do. Then someone in her village suggested that she try to help her own village women, most of whom are heathen. So she tried opening a little school for women and girls, to teach them the Romanized and hymns. This she did to keep the women from gambling and gossip. Very many of the women in these villages have husbands and sons abroad who send them money, for their support, and the women spend their time in gambling and other useless ways. She persuaded a number of the women to come to her house and has prayer each morning with them trying to tell 14 Woman's Board of Foreign Missions them of Christ, and then for an hour or two in the morning and an hour in the afternoon she and her daughter teach them. Pray that the Lord may own her efforts for these heathen neighbors.

Evangelistic Work Bible Women, Amoy District, 1925.—Miss K. M. Talmage re­ ports: There are eleven Bible Women working in the churches of the Amoy District, of whom five are supported by our Mission. The others are employed by the Chinese churches. Of our five, one is working among the villages on a small island called “Snail Island,”' between the islands of Quemoy and Amoy, one is at a small village chapel about eight miles from the city of Amoy, a third is working in connection with the Third Church in the city, and the other two are in villages across the bay on the main land. The First and Second Churches in Amoy each have Bible women whom they are employing. The First Church has only one, but there are two other women who spend a good deal of time visiting among the women, giving voluntary service. The Second Church is employing three women, and there also are women giving volun­ tary service. Besides this, the two churches together are employing a Bible Woman to work at their Mission station on Amoy Island. The Chinese Home Missionary Society also supports a Bible Woman at Quemoy. One of the women is seventy-five years old. She is still quite vigorous and able to go about among the villages, calling the women to come to church and teaching them on Sundays. She is in a little village near the sea, where the people are very poor and spend part of each year digging oysters and opening them for market. Last summer, two of the women from our Women’s School spend two months of their vacation at this village. They were a great help to this Bible Woman, and on Sundays took some of the services. With pictures and charts they interested the women and taught them texts. During the week they went to many of the vil­ lages to tell the Gospel story. The weather was very hot, but they were very faithful in their work. Another Bible Woman is in a village where there is no church, but she and her family give a room for a chapel and try to get the neighbors to come on Sundays. She visits the homes and tries to get children to attend Sunday School. During Christmas week she decorated the little chapel room and had a Christmas service to interest the people. She asked some Christians from other villages to come and assist in the services. The women are a great help in the church work and several are very efficient. They teach the women, and hold meetings, some­ times in the homes and sometimes in the churches. Most of these Bible Women have been pupils in our Women’s School for a longer or shorter period. Pity Little Children’s Some.—“Precious” was married in June to an employee in a cloth shop in Amoy. In July, “Love” was married to a school teacher in Chioh-be. Both of these girls seem happily married. They have continued their school teaching again this autumn, one in the Kolongsu Girls’ School and one in the -Tong-an Girls’ School. The little girl who two years ago with another child planned to run away from the Home, and as a punishment was sent away for a time to Sio-khe, begged so hard to be allowed to return, promising to be very good and obedient, that she was permitted to return at the beginning of the summer vacation. No complaints have been made of her since. Good reports have come from the Blind School in Foochow con­ cerning the little blind child, “Precious Jade,” sent there a year and a half ago, when about five or six years old. The Missionary in charge of the school writes: “Precious Jade is a very dear little girl. She is good and she is clever. She learns easily and the older girls like to teach her. She can read the Bible in Braile. She is not very strong, so I try to keep her from being over-pressed in any way, and from being taught too much while she is still young. She has the best voice of any of the little ones and sings a little English song prettily. She learned the Foochow dialect very quickly and is perfectly happy. A most satisfactory child.” It may be remembered that this little blind baby, in 1919, was left in our garden grass, forsaken by her parents (who are unknown) because she was blind. The former member of the Home, “Water,” who was two years in our Kolongsu Hospital with tuberculosis, was called to her Heavenly Home in the spring. Her two children, whom she com­ mitted to the Home while she was ill, were taken out of the Home after their mother’s death by their grandmother and are living with her in Sio-khe. Their mother was an exceptionally bright, earnest, happy, patient Christian. The Committee became much attached not only to her, but also to her two children in the Home and was sorry to see them leave. An earnest Christian painter, connected with the Tong-an church, died during the year with tuberculosis, leaving a wife and four chil­ dren, one born after his death. He was only just able to support his family by his work, so could leave them nothing whatever towards their support, but he felt that the Lord would care for them after he was gone. The Home Committee agreed to send a small sum each month, enough to feed the children, leaving them in their mother’s care. A former member of the Home was left a widow during the summer. Her husband, a teacher earning a comfortable support for his family, died of quick tuberculosis and left his wife and two bright little boys with no means of support. The Home Committee agreed to give a small sum each month to help them. The young mother may be able to teach school somewhere, which is her desire. These make six more children added this year to the nine so-called “outside” children the Home was already supporting. Of these nine, two are children of a blind -widow, one an orphan given by her dying mother to the charge of a Bible Woman who has several chil­ dren of her own, two are partly supported, living with their widowed mother on Kolongsu, one is teaching school, one studying nursing, one in the Foochow Blind School, and one living with an earnest Chris­ tian widow who is very fond of her and doing much in training her. All these make a total of fifteen “outside” children, and added to the fourteen living in the Home make a final total of twenty-nine children cared for by the Home this past year. The dolls, ribbons, and toys, sent to them from home missionary societies, were distributed at Christmas time .and much appreciated. Each child was also given fifty cents for spending money. The Com­ mittee thanks all friends for all they have done in behalf of these children, making the workings of this Home possible. Our con­ tinued request is, “Please do not forget to pray earnestly for them and for those who have gone out from the Home.” We know that all our blessings have come from our Heavenly Father’s hand, and our thanksgiving and praise go up to Him.

Medical Work Hope and Wilhelmina Hospitals. Nwsing Report for 1925 — Miss Mathiesen reports: The year of 1925 has been a very busy one in Hope Hospital. More than 2,000 in-patients mean work for everybody, many clothes to wash, many mouths to feed, much care to be given during both day and night. During the summer, the nurses and workers took turns in having two weeks’ vacation and although the number of patients was not any smaller than usual, and the heat sometimes was very intense, all were happy to do their share of the work for those who were missing. The maternity cases are gradually increasing. Once we had ten babies at the same time, but that is something unusual. The nurses love to take care of the babies, especially do they shorten the long nights for the nurses on night duty. Our nurses’ school is now registered in the Nurses’ Association of China and that means that we have to get up to the standard with schools at home, in both practice and theory. This must come gradually, and I am sorry to say that since Miss Nienhuis left on furlough leaving me alone it has been going very slowly. But I could not at the same time work with the boys and girls and besides that see that all went smoothly in the operating room. I have tried to do as little as possible in the latter, and trained in some of the students to prepare and assist at operations. They seem quite interested in that part of the work. Just recently a trained nurse from Canton has joined us, and although she could not speak our Amoy dialect right away she took up the work on the women’s side and works with the girls. When Miss Nienhuis was here, we usually went after supper (she to the men’s side and I to the women’s) to turn off the lights and to talk to the patients. It used to be our happiest time of the day, because we would always find some patients who were willing to listen to us when we told them about our great Comforter and Physician. These evening rounds I have had to give up, because when my work day starts at seven, by eight o’clock in the evening I am usually ready for bed. I hope to take this work up again soon, and another thing I would like to do is to take the nurses out in “follow up” work, but so far I have done very little visiting, although many a patient goes away with a half promise that I will come and “sit with them.” I felt quite relieved when, a short time ago, I took my second year’s language examination, but still the Amoy dialect is not suffi­ cient here, because more than half of the men patients are Mandarin speaking people. Later, when I get time, I must take up some Mandarin. Fortunately most of our doctors and nurses are able to speak Mandarin. I have counted up that we are able to entertain patients in twelve different languages. Some women doctors and the nurse were trained in Canton and speak Cantonese, one has been an interne in Foochow, and speaks that dialect, one is from Swatow, another doctor was trained in Shanghai, another trained in America married a Chinese girl from the Philippines who speaks two of those dialects. Besides that, we have Amoy, English, Danish, German and Dutch. All these languages and dialects are useful in a large port like Amoy. In a short time I expect to go the Nurses’ Conference in Nanking, and through seeing other hospitals I hope to be greatly inspired and come home with new ideas for our work here.

CHIANG-CHIU Educational Work Girls’ School.—Miss Margaret Morrison reports: During the year 1925, the work of the school has gone on satisfactorily and without interruption of any kind. We have cause for gratitude that although there have been many serious disturbances in other places, this, city has been quiet and only a few rumors have slightly dis­ turbed the peace for a brief time. We are also thankful that the health of the teachers and pupils has been good throughout the year, and it has not been necessary to call a doctor, as the few slight cases of illness have been cured by the medicines always kept on hand. The second term two new teachers, both graduates of the Amoy School, were engaged to take the places of two who had married and gone with their husbands to other places. One of the two married a graduate of the Theological Seminary and is teaching in the school connected with the Chioh-be Church while her husband is assistant pastor there. The second teacher who married had been with us many years, first as pupil, then as teacher. She had been a faithful student, bright and interested in her studies, and as a teacher she was capa­ ble and interested in her work, and best of all was an earnest Chris­ tian. Since her marriage she had assisted in the Sunday School work of her home church, and we had hoped she would be a great help in the church and village, but although we are saddened by her early death a few weeks ago we know she is promoted to service in the Home beyond. The Pastor has been holding a class for Christian instruction with a view to church membership which has been attended by about twenty girls. He has said that the girls are so well grounded in Bible truths that they usually need little more instruction. We hope many of them will soon be professed followers of their Saviour. Among the class of twenty girls who are to graduate next June, are several from non-Christian homes, whose indifference to Christian influence greatly saddens us, for these girls special prayer is being offered that before leaving our school they may all become true Christians, and each go out as a witness for Jesus Christ. This is our highest desire for them and all who come to our school. We have enrolled 178 pupils the past year—this includes the kindergarten class which numbered 27 children for the year. Eleven girls were graduated last June, nearly all of them have gone to High School. This autumn, as the woman missionary was obliged to occupy part of the kindergarten usually used by classes from the Girls’ School, thus making it necessary to use kindergarten rooms, the opening of the kindergarten class had to be deferred while the ex­ tensive repairs were being made to the Mission house, and it was not until the middle of November that kindergarten work was begun, many parents on that account did not send their children for the shortened term. Although the attendance has been small, the children have enjoyed their work and play, and also the Sunday School class to which some bring still smaller brothers or sisters. The pennies they give each Sunday have amounted to several dollars for the year. At Christmas time the girls and teachers had a “Self-denial Week,” the result of which gives us twenty dollars to be used “for Jesus’ sake,” to help some who have not been blessed as greatly as those who make the. gift. Half the amount is to be sent to the “Door of Hope” work in Shanghai, and half will be given to some very poor old women of the church here. • Besides their Christmas offerings, the teachers and pupils have several times made special offerings towards the building of the church lately dedicated, and towards the new parsonage, besides other objects. We are-glad to have the girls learn the joy of giving, as well as the joy of receiving. The past two terms the girls have planted and cared for a vegetable garden, and from the vegetables raised, have saved several dollars a term on school expenses, besides giving healthful exercise. Each also has a certain part of the flower garden under her care, and there is considerable rivalry as to which class shows the prettiest flowers. The past term Mrs. Day has given music lessons, both vocal and instrumental, and her services have been much appreciated. The singing of the girls has much improved because of her capable in­ struction. Several times the school choir has sung on special occasions in the church or schools, and has done very well. Five of our teachers sing in the church choir also. Women’s Work Miss Morrison reports: The past year, instead of holding the weekly prayer-meeting for women, there has been an effort to do direct evangelistic work. “The faithful few,” including the active wife of the Pastor, and the Bible Women, and when possible the missionary, have gone regularly to villages, and different parts of the city, where they have preached Jesus Christ and His salvation; sometimes in the villages large numbers of women and also men have gathered to listen. Prom many who have heard, a number are now coming to church, some of them very regularly and are learn­ ing to read the colloquial and hymns. Monthly meetings for non-Christians and new hearers have also been held in the city alternating in different churches. At these meet­ ings Gospel talks, also talks on hygiene, the value of education, and the care and training of children in the home are given. We hope to continue these two methods of evangelistic work during 1926, and in addition to have cottage meetings in the homes of Christian women or hearers, who will call in their non-Christian neighbors. Our faith­ ful city Bible Woman who has for so long done such consecrated and successful work, was very ill and for some months unable to be out, but she was restored to health, and although not strong, is daily visit­ ing and teaching in many homes. Another Bible Woman, owing to her inability to travel to the farther stations of the district, who is not dependent oh her salary, has expressed her intention to continue to do what work she can in the nearer villages. A stronger and younger woman, educated in the Sio-khe Bible School for Women, has been tranferred from Sio-khe to the district where she will work in connection with the more distant churches, including her own home village where she formerly lived as a heathen, uneducated and not caring for anything different. To women such as she was, she will bring the glad tidings of salvation through the Saviour who has saved her. With much joy and thanksgiving, we record the coming of Miss van der Linden to share in the work for girls and women in Chiang- chiu city and district. Miss van der Linden returned from furlough this autumn and after a short stay at Sio-khe came to Chiang-chiu where she received a warm welcome. For so long there has been but one woman missionary in the station that much work has necessarily been left undone, but with another worker here, it is hoped that much more can be accomplished, and with thankful hearts for the many mercies the past year has brought, we go to the work of the coming year with renewed strength and confidence. It is to be hoped that a Bible School for women may be opened next term; we have long looked forward to this. In closing this report, we would again thank the Woman’s Board of Foreign Missions for its generous gift which made possible the re­ pairing and improving of their missionaries’ house, which is now much more comfortable and convenient than formerly.

SIO-KHE Educational Work The Sio-khe Girls’ School.—Miss Bruce reports: The Sio-khe Girls’ School had a very successful happy year in spite of soldiers and rumors of war. We feel gratified that the people of the church appreciate the school, as evidenced by the fact that 75 per cent, of our pupils are from church homes. Although there has been no marked increase in enrollment, we feel that we have progressed along other lines. A new matron has been engaged who does the work not only of matron but that of School Mother as well. We have also been able to engage a teacher with part High School training. Another High School student volunteered to teach English in the Sio-khe Girls’ School. We are now in line with the other schools of our Mission. We have tried to improve both the school building and its sur­ roundings. The inside of the school has been repainted and the play­ ground has also been improved. A new croquet set gives pleasure to teachers as well as pupils. Unfortunately, there is no room for a garden but we have put up two swings and a flag pole. A new record chart hangs in the Assembly Hall recording the earnestness and the deportment' of each student. Each of the ten girls who had perfect records were given a gift from the Guild Box (a tablet and pencil), and prizes were also given to those who stood at the head of the class in scholarship (a doll). The students enjoyed several picnics during the year, but the greatest treat was when Dr. Hofstra invited the women and girls to the hospital to see pictures of the life of Christ. It was an hour never to be forgotten by teachers and pupils alike. This year the school marched in the big patriotic parade held on China’s fourth of July. It was a fine advertisement for our school. In these days of political unrest we are trying more than ever to arouse public interest and love of country.

Women’s School Miss Bruce reports: In an uncertain time like ours nothing is safer “than to stick to the Word and train ourselves in prayer,” so wrote Bengel the great missionary. Our Women’s Schools are train­ ing schools for this very purpose, to help the women of China to know and trust in the word of God and to deepen their prayer life. Aunty Horn, old as she is, continues to teach in our Sio-khe school, for how could we do without her? During the past year she has taught still another group to read the hymns and the Bible stories. We have had some very interesting women with us this past year. One woman from our Lam-sin church was a patient in the hospital last year. This year she returned to study at our school and brought her daughter, a girl of seventeen, with her. Both have made splendid progress. Another old woman who has been a hearer for several years finally received permission from her son, a boy of about twenty, to come to school this term. She studied very hard and learned how to read the Romanized Bible, so we feel even her short visit was worthwhile. Mrs. Rain, an earnest Christian, has been anxious to come to our school for some years, but she has always been prevented by her heathen relatives. Last year, during the Chinese New Year celebra­ tion when she again refused to worship the idols and the spirit of her dead mother-in-law, she was beaten and driven out of the house. We were glad to take her in and she was more than happy for the oppor­ tunity to study. This fall, when we needed a matron and “mother’' for our Girls’ School we knew Mrs. Rain was the very one for the position. We are thankful for the few months’ training in keeping accounts and in the Bible study that she received in the Women’s School. A woman of the better class came from a village about twenty- six miles away. Her daughter studies in our Girls’ School and the grandmother, an educated woman of the old school, is coming next term to learn to read and study. Our senior class have greatly enjoyed studying Miss M. E. Talmage’s next text book on the Acts of the Apostles. The women have received much help and inspiration in their study of the work­ ings of the Holy Spirit. Of all the books they have studied I feel this has been the most needed and helpful. Some improvements have been made. The outside of the school is being painted and the rooms have already been done. Part of the front school yard has been turned into a vegetable garden. The women do the work after school hours and they take pride in helping the school earn this in this way. We have to thank Mrs. Pearl, the doctor’s wife, for coming each week to teach Physiology, and Mrs. Lee, the pastor’s wife, for teach­ ing Chinese character. The pastor and Mrs. Voskuil have been faith­ ful in giving a chapel talk once a week, all of which has been much appreciated. Pray that we may be a help to all those who come to us and that we may together with them, “Stick to the Word and train ourselves in prayer.” Evangelistic Work Miss Bruce reports: “How shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?” “How shall they hear without a preacher?” This year five Bible Women have been busy in the Sio-khe“distriet preach­ ing to those who have not heard. They have gone for weeks at a time to out-stations and have done good work. One Bible Woman gives full time in the Poa-a district and is a great help to Pastor Mark. Another has been appointed to the Lam-sin Church, and when there was the question as to whether the church would be able to pay her salary, the pastor’s wife said, “Oh! if the church cannot afford to pay her, we will pay her out of our own salary, for we do need her so badly.” Our two nearest cbapels have young preachers, who have just graduated from the Theological Seminary; as they are both unmarried their work is handicapped and difficult. A preacher’s wife has un­ limited field of usefulness in an out-station charge. The Bible Women go often to these two places to work among the Church “sisters,” teaching them the hymns and how to read the Bible. Their daily note books record many an interesting story in a few words, and often they write, “Had a good opportunity today.” “Big crowd came to hear.” “Sister X. not interested, her heart is cold to the Gospel.” “Read the catechism with Mrs. B.” “Taught the Lord’s Prayer to several women.” Owing to the illness of Miss Borgman, it was impossible for me to leave home and visit the farthest stations. However, eight trips were made to the chapels within a radius of ten miles. One very happy day was spent at Ho-Chung. In that one family group, twenty-six are church members. They meet every night at the home of Mrs. 0., a preacher’s widow, to hold their evening prayers. Mrs. 0. has taught many to read and pray. It was a joy to see the work that she is doing in her quiet way right in her own family circle. As a result of this visit one of the women from that group came to the Women’s School this term. Each Sunday morning during the regular church service time, Mrs. Voskuil conducts a children’s service at the Girls’ School. As many as seventy children attend. The pastor’s wife, Mrs. Lee, continued her weekly children’s meeting in the market place, at the home of a church member. It is gratifying to see the large number of womeh who attend, and it is very encouraging to see that the same ones come week after week. A hearty invitation is always given to them for the following meeting. Each Thursday the weekly prayer meeting is held at the church. A number of women have conducted it this past term for the first time. TONG-AN Educational Work Miss Broekema reports: Miss Holkeboer went home on furlough this past summer and this term we have been trying to carry on as best we could. Because of my inability to speak the language, Miss Zwemer has been taking charge and speaking for me. Conditions in Tong-an were peaceful this year, so that we have not had to close school, nor has it given us cause to worry. Except at present the pupils from the An-khoe region cannot return home during vacation unless the roads become safer. Because of bandits, one never knows, when the roads will be safe. This year we have added a grade to the school, which gives the girls another year before going to Amoy to finish. All the girls of the highest class returned, which pleased us very much. In all we have had about eighty girls this year. They come from various homes, some Christian, some where parents do not care what they believe, and others from purely heathen surroundings. A number of girls this year were deeply touched by revival meetings that were held in Tong-an, and they expressed their desire to become followers of Christ. Some of them are really trying to be His followers and are striving to lead Christian lives. Although the school has not been bothered with thieves, still one of the girls met with a great sorrow in her home. Thieves entered the home one night, bound her father, carried him off for ransom, and shot her mother before her eyes. The rest of the night the girl, about sixteen years of age, and her brother, not much older, were left alone with their dead mother. The poor girl was sick from fright. The parents are heathen, but they have always allowed the girl to come to our school. We were pleased to hear her grandmother say that during these trying times this girl prayed every day. We trust and pray that she may be able to be a witness in her home and that it may be the means of strengthening her faith. One of the little girl’s mother was talking about the Christians being persecuted in Canton. She said how terrible it would be if the persecution spread. Quickly came the reply from the little girl who has been in school only two years, “Oh, why should we care? We don’t need to worry. Why, Mother, if they kill us we will go right to Heaven. We won’t have any more of the misery of this world. We’ll be in Heaven with God. He will care for us.” Wasn’t that showing a beautiful, child-like trust? Closing day in the spring and Christmas are the big days in the school calendar for the girls. They all love excitement and enter­ tainments to display their talents of speaking, singing, or acting. Although they cannot act as well as the boys, inasmuch as the girls are still shy in expressing emotion of any kind, still they did well in their entertainments this year. I know that it will amuse you, as it did us, that in the Story of Joseph, Jacob in having morning prayers with the family read from Romans and repeated the Lord’s Prayer. Joseph while in prison preached to the butler and baker about Peter and Paul being let out of prison! It all seemed perfectly possible to them, and they did keep a good spirit throughout the program, which was very essential. Because of lack of funds we were unable to repair the roof of the dormitory this summer. During the winter, one of the heavy beams fell on a bed. Thank God it was in the daytime and no one was hurt, for if it had happened at night surely a child would have been killed. The carpenters think the other beams will last till sum­ mer. What then? Can we put girls in a building where their lives are in danger? And as yet there are no funds to repair it. We trust that in the coming year our school may grow in num­ bers, but also that each girl may grow in the knowledge and grace of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Evangelistic Work Miss Nellie Zwemer reports: During the first week of the Chinese New Year there are always special opportunities and special efforts made for evangelism. ' Here and at various stations meetings were held each forenoon and in the afternoon many of the women of the church went two by two to scores of homes and villages to explain the way of' salvation as best they could. This work was kept up by the missionaries, Bible Women, and the more advanced pupils of the Women’ School. As a result several new hearers attend services and more women and girls attend our schools. Others, who are not yet ready to come to public services, are glad to receive regular instruction in their homes and pray to God instead of to idols. One old blind widow, who has never entered a church, rejoices in forgiveness of sins, and the hope of heaven where she shall “see and hear and know, all she desired and missed below.” It is pathetic to hear her ask again and again, “Shall I be able to see in that better world and never be hungry any more?” The Women’s School has had an enrollment of forty-two the first term and thirty-four the second. One woman who finished the course last June now spends her afternoons in teaching women in their homes. Another will be matron in our Girls’ School. The Sunday School continues to give all the women and children of the church regular instruction suited to their various stages of advancement. The morning service for children is now entirely in charge of Miss Broekema and a very capable Chinese teacher, and is perhaps the most progressive and attractive piece of work in our district. Out-stations.—In the spring Miss Holkeboer with Miss Nienhuis visited four of our distant An-khoe stations. Last November Miss Broekema and Miss Zwemer visited four of the Hongsan stations. Those belonging to Tong-an have been visited at least once during the year, but since Miss Holkeboer left and Miss Broekema is still busy with language study Miss Zwemer could not do justice to this neces­ sary part of our work. Every Thursday afternoon the women meet for prayer at Tong-an and at An-ho-a, and once a month we have a mission meeting. Dear friends of missions as you meet in your different societies will you not each month pray definitely for each phase of our and your work in Tong-an? We need the help your prayers can bring. .

1* - 1 LENG-NA # Leng-na Girls’ Boarding School.—Katharine R. Green reports: This has been a year of note in the annals of the Leng-na Girls’ School for, in June for the first time in the history of the school, we graduated students from the full course of the Higher Primary. Two girls received from us their diplomas and are now in the High School at Amoy doing excellent work. In order to arouse zeal for the full course, we made quite an event of the graduating exercises. The school assembly room was vividly decorated with festoons of flags and ropes of entwined sprays of evergreen. Various classes sang appro­ priate original songs and the president of the junior class made a farewell speech. Both of the graduates, there were only two, gave addresses, one in the local Leng-na dialect and one in Mandarin, and they also sang a duet in English. Of course their English was not perfect but still they did very well. Upon the other ninety pupils in the school, the influence of this display of learning and the honors bestowed upon the two graduates was immediately manifest. There seemed to be a tightening up of purposes and a quickening of determination that others should seize for themselves, these “high honors.” There has, therefore, been a more purposeful spirit among the girls of the higher classes this fall and the reports from the teachers have been more satisfactory. There was a slight falling off in the number of pupils this fall. We had eighty instead of ninety but there has been an increase of zeal on the part of these who have studied with us, In the middle of the fall term we had a serious scare when one of our pupils, a little charity child, came down with plague. We dis­ missed the school for a few days and were all inoculated, hut when no other case developed, and when it was evident that, owing to the loving, faithful care of the Bible Woman who lives at the Girls’ School, that the patient would recover, we reopened our doors and i continued, on our usual schedule of work. We are more and more drawing girls from a distance to our higher classes. In the spring term we had thirty-one boarders and in the fall thirty-two.. Two of these girls came a three-days journey on foot and have 'stayed the entire year with us. Of course we are de­ lighted to broadcast the educational and evangelistic influence of the school thus widely but it does, nevertheless, make difficulties in the curriculum for one always finds that these advanced pupils are de­ ficient in various subjects, notably in Bible instruction and in mathe­ matics, and this means extra work in tutoring them to bring them up to grade. The school has had a fine group of teachers. In spite_ of the en­ forced absence of Miss Green during a considerable portion of the fall term, they “carried on” without a break and without there arising any of the squalls which so frequently ruffle the Chinese educational waters at present. , Leng-na Woman’s School.—The Woman’s School of Leng-na has now past the experimental stage. It has had three terms of success­ ful work which has fully justified its existence. Not only has it grown in numbers and efficiency but its fame has spread so that for the fall term of this year, three of its pupils came from a distance. One of these women is the wife of a young preacher and the other the wife of a teacher in one of our schools. We had, even much to our amuse­ ment, an application for entrance from a man. He was home on a visit from abroad and was so much pleased with the progress which his wife had made in the school that he himself wished to enroll in order to learn the Romanized. For the first year of its life, the school was housed in an ancestral hall, very near the Girls’ School, but after Mrs. Holleman’s departure for furlough, it was tranferred to a section of the hospital so that Mrs. Tan, the wife of Dr. Holleman’s assistant, who has been its faithful teacher, would have it more conveniently placed for her. The school, therefore, has occupied during the fall term, a portion of the woman’s side of the hospital. There were ten pupils for the spring term and fourteen for the fall, and their industry and progress have been encouraging. Not only have they mastered the Romanized so that half a dozen of them can read their Bibles fluently, but they have also had teaching in Chinese character. They are even beginning to learn some of the simpler rules of the art of writing in Chinese character. The pupils in the school pay entirely for the boarding department and most of them pay tuition as well. They are all young women and therefore better able to concentrate on books, and their friends and relatives have been very proud of their fine progress. INDIA

Her many friends in India and America thank God for her long life of loving service and consecra­ tion.

* On furlough, 1926. . t Union Missionary Medical School. MADANAPALLE Evangelistic Work Miss Sarella TeWinkel reports: The arranging and announcing of the various items of the program month by month have been my part, but the credit for what has actually been done should go to my Bible Women who have for the most part shown the spirit of faithful stewardesses, carrying cheerfully their share of the extra responsi­ bilities of the past year—extra because I myself have been playing foster mother to the Girls’ Boarding School since Miss Coburn went on furlough, and consequently my own particular child, the Bible Women’s Work, has been left more or less to fend for itself. My gratitude is due also to Dr. Hart and her assistants who have often gone when we have made our regular one-day trips once, twice, or thrice a month to the centers outside Madanapalle. Thus the injunction’ of our Lord to go out “healing the sick and preaching the Gospel” has, during the past year, been carried out more fully than before in at least some of the villages. “The kingdom cometh not with observation”—at least as far as baptisms are concerned—and we sometimes wonder if we, like Paul, have been sent “not to baptize but to preach the Gospel.” However, here and there, now and then, our workers are encouraged as all unsolicited, some simple but spiritually minded woman who has been a regular listener for many months testifies to her faith in our doc­ trine and her confidence in the God we preach. For the mothers who mourn the loss of little ones there seems to be no comfort apart from the hope which is theirs if they will but believe in Jesus, the Friend of little children, that Good Shepherd who carries the lambs in His bosom. To the old and feeble we speak of the joys that await those who trust not in their own merits but in the merits of Jesus, who gave His life a ransom for many that we might have life more abundant. Christ crucified, the old, old message of salvation is still our message for India.

Medical Work Dr. Louisa H. Hart reports that the past year has been full of changes at the Mary Lott Lyles Hospital. Our beloved Dr. Chorley took a furlough after five years with us and went to visit her parents who are missionaries to their own people in the Mauritius Islands. We could not afford to pay her salary any of this time, so she was without pay during her eight months away. This enabled us to employ others in her place, and the first we had was here for four months and then she married our Pastor’s son and left. Then we got one who had completed her term of three years at Schell Hospital and she stayed with us five months and then married. Then our faithful Dr. Chorley returned. Both of these young ladies who came to us were graduates of the new Medical School at Vellore, and they were a great help and were liked and appreciated by our people here so that the work went on as usual. So much so that our work con­ tinued to increase rather than to decrease, as is frequently the case when changes in the staff take place. I believe that if Christ’s Spirit truly inspires each one of us and our co-workers from the top to the bottom, we can truly make a report similar to that which Our Lord sent to John the Baptist. If we can in a small measure make such a report then I believe our med­ ical work is as truly an evangelistic agency as that which is specially labelled “Evangelistic” work. We are anxious that our whole work here on the Plateau shall be as evangelistic as Our Lord would have it. My special opportunities come in the private consulting rooms where people unburden their hearts and want just the consolation and encouragement that can be given by a Christian. It is marvelous how many times this oppor­ tunity comes, and because of this somewhat non-medical part of the consultation I seem to get through with so little work in a day. The Bible Woman visits daily at the bedsides and prays with those who desire to be prayed with. We also do bedside work as opportunity offers. In the evening the nurses and women servants gather and pray in the ward, and at that time those of the orphans who are with us gather and offer their evening.prayers as children in a home do and are put to bed. During the year I was able to visit six medical camps in distant villages with my touring outfit.' Many people availed themselves of the opportunity of receiving help. It is just a simple matter of, with the Grace that is given us, as far as in us lie, living our lives, doing the work we are called to do, in the best way possible, using all the advantages we can have from modern science and equipment, and proving to the people that we really do care for them and love them. Miss Josephine Y. TeWinkel, the Nursing Superintendent, reports that among the nurses there was but one Senior graduate this year and three Juniors, all of whom creditably1 passed their examina­ tions. Two of our alumnae now at work in Arabia, Nurse Mary from Muscat, and Nurse Ruvamonie from Kuwait, returned to India for the summer and paid us welcome visits. They are received with interest by the church and hospital people, for are they not—in a way— Madanapalle’s missionaries in Arabia? Early in July the Governor and Lady Willingdon from Madras visited the Hospital. They seemed so interested in everything, and asked many questions regarding the work that it was a pleasure taking them about. The Governor inscribed complimentary remarks in the Visitor’s Book. v- ! There has been the usual number of patients at the hospital and dispensary, a few more than last year. The nurses have as a rule been interested in, and attentive to the patients and to the little ones en­ trusted to their care. All studied for the yearly Bible examinations and as many as could be spared',.from the hospital on that day appeared for them. i!’ Efforts are now being made through a special committee ap­ pointed by the South India Medical Conference to arrange a course of instruction in Bible for all the nurses in our hospitals. This course is destined to give not only a knowledge of the Scriptures but also a knowledge of Hindu religions and customs, with special instructions to the nurses as to how they may tactfully and wisely introduce such subjects to the patients in their daily dealings with them. The nurse has many opportunities for evangelistic work, and the patients are not averse to being approached on religious subjects as a general thing, but for really efficient work in this line the nurses require special instruction which should be given to them in connection with their hospital training. As for the patients, they have come and gone, the rich and the poor, of which the latter seem to predominate so largely, and they, indeed, are ever with us. To all, the hospital has tried to minister both physically and spiritually. Each day is begun and ended with prayer and thanksgiving to the Eather of all. Each day sees the Bible women faithfully at work in dispensary and in the wards, ever ready to sympathize and explain, and the doctors and nurses also strive to bring courage and faith to those struggling with darkness and unbelief. Thus the year has passed, with a little of brightness, a little of sorrow, a little of toil, a little of rest, but through it all the silver cord of the Father’s love and care in abundant measure.

PUNGANUR . Woman’s Work Mrs. Henry J. Scudder reports: As we look back over the year 1925 we cannot help but ask ourselves—is Punganur any better for our being here another year? What have we done? Results are hard to tabulate; we have received only a few new additions to our Chris­ , tian community from Hinduism. No children in our Hindu Girls’ School have come and confessed their belief in Christ. No startling events stand out as we look back; and yet, we do believe we have more friends in this conservative town than we had a year ago. Sev­ eral times at our special invitation Hindu and Mohammedan women have come shyly to our Mission Bungalow for a social afternoon. Those who have not come before, look with eagerness into every room while those who have been to the Bungalow, point out with smiling superiority, this or that, which the puzzled newcomer may have missed. How queer we are in their eyes! So much furniture and so few clothes! The Hindu woman feels the American hardily knows the proper proportion between the two! In the Hindu homes I am always welcomed with warm courtesy. I cannot recall one house where I have felt unwelcome, and my hope and prayer is, by my friendliness to win friends for my Lord. The two Bible Women who work in town have between forty and forty-five homes where they visit regularly,' and a good number of new pupils have been gained this year, as old ones move away. The Bible Woman in Choudepalle, ten miles away, is in a lonely spot, but always seems cheery and sweet when I visit her. Her husband being the teacher in charge of the village school a half-mile distant, they are together trying to influence both caste and outcaste people. With one, some­ times both, my Punganur Bible Women, I have gone with the car to nearby villages to do some seed sowing; they are greatly interested in this, and eagerly agree when I ask if they will go with me on a certain day. If only the old question of lack of funds did not exist, we would do this village preaching every week. But petrol costs money (three times what it does in America), and so do tires; so we have to count the cost, and go as often as our appropriations permit. The Hindu Girls’ School is thriving. We have a varyng num­ ber on the roll, sometimes as high as 125, and then it goes down to 116 or 118. Officials are transferred and their daughters go too; girls are married (before they are marriageable) and must go to their mothers-in-law, and so our membership (and our attendance) varies. Hindu festivals, weddings, deaths follow on, and for each one there are many absentees. But our little girls are bright and dear and one cannot help loving them. We keep on our music teacher, who is a great attraction to our school; he teaches singing and Indian instrumental music. For this we get fees, but for nothing else. We are happy over the fact that one of our cleverest little girls has gone to Madras for study and training to be a teacher. She had been in our highest class two years, and we wanted her to go on. We pressed Sherman High School very warmly, but caste was too strong in her old grandmother; she could not let her child go and eat with girls “not of our caste,” so we had to give up the thought of keeping her in Chittoor’s beautiful influence, and rejoice that she could go to Madras, and her path to higher education was not blocked. A good deal of camp life has been my lot during the latter half of this year. In Mysore, in the Tamil country, and to many places on our own Telugu Plateau I have accompanied my husband. The oppor­ tunities have been almost unlimited. I wish I knew to how many people I have spoken during these trips. But it is discoimaging that I still speak so haltingly that an interpreter is necessary, if I am to make any impression. Our Punganur Pastor, Kev. J. Bushanam, and Rev. S. Cornelius have been my great help and comfort, both trans­ lating for me so easily and well, that I can speak with no thought of choosing my words. It is a wonderful privilege to be allowed to tell the great news of Jesus to people who have never heard. But when one realizes how little they grasp in one telling and that we ought to go again and again to the same places, our hearts sink at what seems an impossible task. However, we are only to sow the seed. God giveth the increase. I cannot close this report of 1925 without a reference to our Jubilee celebrations. For months beforehand, in Punganur, as in all other stations, interest was growing, and when January 21st came, we were ready for an enthusiastic meeting, with women doing all the planning and all the executing. It was essentially a woman’s day, and one long to be remembered. The offerings were a tangible result, but we feel a more abiding result of our Jubilee celebration has been a drawing together of the Indian Church and those whose love and prayers make our work here possible. Indian women and American women rejoiced together over 50 years of service for our Lord and Saviour. India for Christ has bound and will bind in the years to come all those to whom Christ and India are dear. Medical Work Dr. Louisa H. Hart reports that the Punganur Dispensary was visited once a week from Madanapalle with the help of our well behaved Ford. Then we see all who come to us and scarcely a week passes but some one with a serious condition comes to us from some nearby or far-away village that makes us glad we have been able to come even if we saw only this one case. Usually we see between thirty and forty patients, all needing special care. The nurse is an intelligent woman and is able to care for a few of these people during the week. To some we give seven days’ medi­ cine and to others we give one or two days’ medicine only, as they might let the baby play with it, or put it where the cat would knock it over or on the floor where anyone might kick it over, or they might take it all within a day or so to save it. For such as these we leave what they need with the nurse and they come every day for it. There is much of trachoma and‘running ears, and the nurse car­ ries on the treatment of these conditions and is also able to do all other dressings and treatments. Those cases which are beyond her skill and need more medical attendance are asked to go to 'Madanapalle to the hospital, and we sometimes taken them along with us in the car. There is a good bus service also, so that sick people do not need to be bumped along in a jutka when they have to travel. • Pray that the nurse may be given health and strength and spir­ itual growth for the life of wide influence and opportunity as a ministering spirit among the women and children of Punganur which is so very backward in many ways. Pray for us who have the management of this work that we may be guided so that whatever we do may be for the fulfilment of our true mission here. PALMANER Educational Work Industrial School.—Miss Alice S. Smallegan reports: In the year 1925 we have done nothing at the Palmaner Industrial School which is very new or particularly interesting perhaps, but we have plodded along. We have had a garden with some success, but the monkeys have beeu troublesome. It has all meant hard work. At times we have worked for quality in our sewing, embroidery, and lace making. At times we have stressed speed. It has been the routine of ordinary, simple Indian living. . For beautiful embroidery and for good work there is always a market. The advanced worker easily earns a good living by sales of her finished work. For her we have no concern, as her future will be determined wholly by her faithfulness. We are ever striving with girls who need protection yet fail to make good their opportunity. It has been decided that the future school should be first an Indus­ trial School, its standards to be those required by government. All the girls admitted into the school are not fitted for the work prescribed by government. There are always those whose fingers are all thumbs, girls who do poorly in a Domestic Arts course. These girls need protection, they need to be helped, so we are planning for a second department, best termed a Home Department. For these girls we wish honest toil, and the doing of gardening, poultry raising, laundry, leaf-plate making, and other simple native industries should make her suited for the life of her village as she returns to take up home duties. In our Christian villages there are women who have been at some time in the past in the Lace Class, as it was then called. The girls of the school will be going back, and for these and others there does arise a sense of responsibility. An Extension Department of the Industrial School, will, we believe meet the need, so the plan of the Future School looks eagerly for the day of the truly working Exten­ sion Department. In all of this we hope we have made a plan for the teaching and helping of the women of India, for whom there has been no other form of training. To these women who have long been left in their poverty and hardships, this school in its larger scheme should ever be reaching out, and .should be an aid to better Christian living. Zenana Work.—If only we were as tireless as the drummer who beats his drum so continuously in the streets of Palmaner, wonders would happen and things would change. From January to June our Zenana Bible Woman was in poor health, and we did our work listlessly and did not arouse our women with life interest. The missionary in charge wholly depends upon the Bible Woman, for in these homes only Telugu is spoken. We are left to watch and pray that a long vacation may prove best, for the Bible Woman has been in Bombay with her son since June, and we have no one suitable to take up her work. . Hindu Girls’ School.—The Palmaner Hindu Girls’ School has had a very acceptable report from Government this past year, and pleas­ ure was expressed at the exchange made in our Palmaner day schools so as to make possible a second trained teacher in the school. For several years we have had our goal set, but each new term we needed to satisfy ourselves with a substitute teacher. ' The school keeps its average attendance, and through the lives of these little Hindu girls the teachings of Christ are finding entrance into a very lowly class of Hindu homes.

ARNI Evangelistic Work Miss Julia C. Scudder writes o f E vangelistic T o d r in g : One year of this work has been carried on by one Bible Woman and myself in the Arni and Chittoor fields. From seven centers, thirty-three Chris­ tian villages have been reached and th§ effort made to revive, encour­ age and help them, also suggestions made for improvement on various lines, such as having cleaner houses, streets, etc. Three of the villages visited are dead, so to speak, and there are only one or two Christian families in each and the teacher has in consequence been removed. We meet discouraging situations and see the appalling nature and power of human sin and its consequences, the unwillingness even to wish for a better life. The future of the Church is in the youth of the villages, and they need to be taught active, personal Christianity. To have merely a service on the Sabbath and a conference occasion­ ally helps, but does not meet the need as the daily life is not reached or influenced much. The villagers are not capable of applying what they hear. They should be taught personal prayer and the power of God to overcome sin in their daily life. We have faith in a power­ ful God and that is confidence of victory in spite of the power of evil. We see advance in higher things also. We found the Arni villages in advance of those in Chittoor, in the fact that they could con­ duct and carry on their meetings in the absence of the Catechist. In many villages the services are stopped when the Catechist is absent but in one village the Catechist’s wife held a prayer meeting that was sparcely attended. The dire need in the villages before the rains came was heart­ rending. Having only one cooked meal in two days and being obliged to live on a mixture of green leaves, crushed tamarind seeds and Palmyra and cactus fruits, and to be clothed in rags is not altogether conducive to spiritual growth. We held services, prayer meetings, Sunday Schools, sewing and instruction classes; and in villages that we could only visit once, exhorted by talk and song to a better life. In one village a non-Christian man who attended the meetings, made a decision for Christ and requested baptism. He was referred to the Chittoor pastor, who examined him, and, finding his faith satis­ factory, baptized him on October 18th. Oh, that we could have more triumphant, contagious personalities who would consecrate themselves to the building up of the Church in the villages. It truly® is most important. RANIPETTAI Evangelistic Work Zenana Work.—Mrs. Henry Honegger reports: The Zenana work of the Eastern Circle is carried on in eight centres. Instruction is given to over 200 pupils in the homes. This work is systematically carried on under the direct supervision of the missionary and an assis­ tant. Usually our message is received with open hearts and there are those under our training who desire to confess Christ but their family ties make it impossible at present for them to come out openly for Christ. Some of the seed sown has taken root and an example or two will prove the faith of these, simple folk. One of our women was under­ going a very serious illness in the Vellore Hospital. She never at any time lifted her heart to the Hindu deities but always called upon Jesus Christ to help her. When asked about her faith in Christ she said she had come to love and trust in the true God because the Zenana ladies had shown her the way. The second incident is a quotation from a post card written by a pupil of the home class, a Hindu as the world would say, “I am stricken with grief, my second son is dead, but according to Matt. 7:7 I asked and received him from the Lord. I wept and begged of the Lord to spare him but He has taken my child, ‘The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord.’ ” The Zenana pupils are constantly asking us for little gifts, dolls, small trays, work-bags, etc. We cannot respond to these requests be­ cause our closets are empty. Will you dear fellow-workers help us to meet this need? Social Centre.—Mrs. Henry Honegger reports: The year opened with a retreat for all the fellow-workers at the Centre and the four Hindu Girls’ Schools of the Eastern Circle. The retreat began with a devotional meeting Saturday morning, the day’s program concluded with a wonderful sunset meeting on the river-bed when we seemed to come so near to God and to each other. For two days thirty of us played, ate and prayed together as one great family, and it was indeed a mountain-top experience. From time to time there have been lectures for the men and for the women. Musical entertainments have been given and greatly enjoyed. The International Fellowship meetings have given us a better understanding of Hindu religious manners and customs. The purpose of the Fellowship is to promote good-will and harmony among people belonging to different nations, religions and castes by affording them a common meeting place and opportunity to understand one another’s ideas, by a frank interchange of views. Classes have been conducted in English, sewing, embroidery, knit­ ting, and crochet for those who are home-makers. There have been the usual demands for the personal touch and the warmth of friend­ ship. The Reading Room continues to be a useful centre of knowledge and we thank all who have contributed to it. Perhaps the Boy’s Club has been the greatest centre of hilarity. Daily, with the exception of Sunday, the badminton courts have echoed with mirth and laughter from 5.30 to 6.30 P. M. Sunday afternoons from 4 to 6 P. M. is the story hour and quiet reading time. Their highest ideal at present is to become the trusty servants of their beloved country. They have begun to render such scouting service to the town as has never been attempted by high caste boys. These forty lads will shortly become the leaders of the commun­ ity so we believe the seed sown will one day bring forth fruit. Thus it is that this Community House reaches out to touch and help the country as a whole.

Educational Work Central Hindu Girls’ School.—This year we have been granted the seventh standard and our first Hindu girls entered the Hindu Hostel at Sherman Memorial in Chittoor. Among the most recent activities of the school are the organiza­ tion of the “Blue Birds” and the “Guides.” The training which the Scout movement is giving to India is greatly needed by boys and jgirls alike. The religious instruction, both in school and Sunday School is regularly and faithfully given, and we find a ready response in many cases. We feel our greatest privilege and duty is to train the youth of India, for India’s future lies within the hands of these little ones. Higher Elementary Girls’ School.—Mrs. Galen F. Scudder writes: Work at school goes on as usual and we are kept busy which likewise keeps us happy. There are 136 girls and a very fine staff of nine teachers, and boarding school work is ever so interesting. One finds that girls are the same the world over, they are interested and so ap­ preciative of everything one does for them that doing is a pleasure. The staff is truly wonderful, and carries on as only people can who are interested in their work and pupils. We boast a literary society for the “betterment of our Tamil,” a Christian Endeavor So­ ciety, Girl Guides, a badminton club, a system of self-government and over all a spirit of good-will and desire to help all with whom we come in contact. Miss Caroline L. Ingham has been in charge of the school after she passed her first Tamil examination with high honors. Miss Ingham writes: “Our school is going forward with great enthusiasm and looking toward continued progress. It is the only Tamil elementary school and hence fills a very large need in the Chris­ tian community. We want it equipped in the best way possible. We are absorbed in preparation for examinations and for our Christmas play and tree and all the excitement that goes with it. After that vacation, which will please everyone, though lots of the children are happier and better off here at school than at home. .

VELLORE Educational Work Hindu Girls’ School.—Mrs. John J. DeBoer writes: The schools are doing well, there are more girls than last year in the sixth stand­ ard in the Arasamaram School, and the Eddai Street School which went only to the fifth standard, now has a sixth standard well at­ tended. ■ The Velappadi School has been closed for lack of funds, and the other two are running on the strictest economy. ' Central Jail.—The jail work has been well kept up during the hot season by Mrs. Cornelius. She is splendid at teaching simple lessons with the aid of the Sunday School picture rolls, and the women like her very much. Social Center.—Mrs. Mason Olcott writes: The Mission has asked me to relieve Mrs. DeBoer of the work of the Social Center. It needs terribly some one to spin it along and make it amount to something. How wonderful it will be when a new missionary is found to take charge of that work. • I have given them a talk on social service work in America, and they enjoyed hearing about it, and took away some new ideas as to what must be done here. Since I have been in Vellore I have been in the Child Welfare Work, and have come to know a great many of the Hindu ladies of the town. They are the people who ought to help with the Social Center, and I am hoping that will be an opening wedge.

OHITTOOE Educational Work CHITTOOR SCHOOLS.—Miss Charlotte C. Wyekoff reports for the five in name, but one in purpose of trying to do their part in laying the foundations of God’s Kingdom in India: 1. Sherman Memorial Girls’ High School.—This is our second year in the “Promised Land.” Piles of brick and mortar are replaced by new gardens; vines and shrubs are springing up to soften the out­ lines of our too glaringly new buildings. The cottage courtyards have flowers and fruit trees, and four cottages are raising vegetables, each girl having a four-foot plot, and the fifth house is raising white leghorns in a poultry yard fenced in by wire netting. The new gray wind mill, towering above the well, sends water into the cottages and science laboratory at the caprice of the wind. The cottages are already full, though built for future expansion, all but the Hindu cottage, which has yet only seven boarders. To have seven Hindu girls is quite an achievement, however, for a Chris­ tian school in a country district. Many more Hindu girls come as day scholars from the town, filling our Preparatory Class so full that we have had to divide it in two. Little by little we see evidences that the town is beginning to take a proprietary interest in us, to speak of “our Sherman School,” and to invite us to take an active part in all educational meetings and organizations of the town and district. Of last year’s Sixth Form, three are at College in Madras, one in Vellore Medical School, one training to be a nurse, one to be a Kindergarten teacher and one an Upper-Grade teacher, while two have already plunged into teaching to earn money for further study. In days when not only the Government but our Mission are stressing elementary rather than secondary education, we look to these old girls of ours to prove that the money and effort spent on them will bear fruit in active Christian leadership in different spheres of life. With this in view we try to make their school life while here, as rich and varied as possible. The matron and teachers are trying to train them to be efficient house-keepers, to spend wisely their weekly income, plan and prepare meals, chase dirt, take the responsibility of their own study-hours and rest-hours, and judge slackers and law-breakers with justice in their Court. Morning chapel, cottage prayers in the evening, the older girls’ Y. W. C. A. and younger girls’ Christian Endeavor, regular Bible classes for teachers as well as girls, and Sunday evangelistic work in nearby villages, are some of the outward expressions of the religious life of the school. 2. Beattie Memorial Training School.—Year by year this Train­ ing School staff works to convert more or less unpromising, unde­ veloped girls of fifteen to eighteen years of age, into skilled and trust­ worthy teachers, reaching out through them to hundreds of little ones who are the real hope of a new India. The primary teacher, low-paid and little educated as she is, stands in a strategic position in these days when municipalities are multiplying schools in the hope of enforcing compulsory education. Since our Mission has had to close many of its elementary day-schools for lack of funds, more and more of our Christian teachers are seeking employment in municipal schools, where surroundings are often • sordid and the work very hard, but where there is boundless opportunity for' demonstrating Christian standards of service through character if not through words. In the course of time they all marry, many going to work for the rest of their lives as wives of village teachers and pastors, thus affecting the life of whole communities. With a deep sense of the burden that lies upon us at the Training School, to prepare these girls adequately to meet the life that is ahead of them, we do what we can to develop every physical, social, intellec­ tual and spiritual resource which they can draw upon in the isolated and difficult years to come. The study and teaching of religion is made as important a sub­ ject as any other, and practise is given in the Model School, Sunday Schools and Village Evangelistic work. It is wonderful to see how the students grow in dignity, in power to think for themselves, and ability to handle a class, in their two short years of training. If only they may be helped to hold fast to their highest principles in tne years to come, they may become a great power in the establishment of the Kingdom of God. 3. The Model School.—The first five classes (grades), containing in all nearly a hundred children, now forms a separate institution which tries to live up to its name of being a “Model” school. The American term “practicing school,” perhaps puts less of a strain upon our sincerity. Eighty-three of the children are boarders, living together with their teachers and matron in the old hostel where their grandmothers were before them. Year by year the fifth class moves on—some to the High School preparatory department, some to Ranipet Vernacular School—and new little children come in to fill their places. This last year, because of lack of funds, we were able to admit only three new village children from the long list of candidates who passed the intelligence test, filling other vacancies with children of parents who can pay the full cost of their board and tuition. The latter could go to any boarding school, while the former have no chance of an education but at this school. We cannot but think of the little “left outs” when we see our eighty-three romping on the play ground, watering their gardens, and studying busily together in their classes. 4. Gridley Hindu Girls’ School.—Since the Mission withdrew its support of this old day-school in the middle of the town, it has con­ tinued under private support, still drawing a good grant from Gov­ ernment. Since a rival Hindu school a few doors below, draws the greatest quantity of pupils, we have tried to specialize on quality. One of our High School graduates, after finishing her training in Madras, came to us this year to start special English classes at Grid- ley, as a preparation for Hindu girls who wish to continue their course in the High School later. While they are little children it is hard for them to come a mile to the Model School. “Gridley” is therefore filling a real need as a sort of stepping-stone to High School, by providing as thorough a foundation course as the Model School, in a place easily accessible to town children. Though there are only about sixty children on the roll, the school does very thorough work. The Inspectress seemed delighted to find such modem methods as those labelled “Montessori” and “Project” an every di v matter at this little town school. The training students who come down regularly for observation and practice become acquainted with little caste girls of the same sort as those whom they may be teaching later. We hope that the little girls who so eagerly sing our Christmas songs in both English and Telugu may come really to know the message of Christ­ mas for each one of them. 5. Reedpet Kindergarten. — Just back of the Sherman High School is a little village of poor Christian families, whose swarm of unclad, untaught children has been on our mind ever since we came to Chittoor, because their parents were not able to pay even the low tuition fees at the Model School. This year we have, with private funds, opened a little school in the “Beattie Memorial Prayer Hall” of Keedpet, putting our best trained Montessori-teacher in charge, and giving her a free hand to make a “model village school” at minimum expense. The experiment is proving a great success. Even the wildest and dirtiest of the lot has learned to wash his face and hands, comb his hair, blow his nose and take his part in the various absorbing occupations of the class. The training-students, by their frequent visits here, are learning how to manage children of this sort and are seeing what can be done in any village school at little expense. 0 _ 1 Evangelistic Work Zenana Work.—Miss Julia C. Scudder reports: This branch of the Station activities does not have very much supervision as I am most of the time in the villages and only spend a quarter of the time in town. But it speaks well for the five Bible Women who are carrying on this work, that they have been found faithfully visiting the houses and teaching the pupils the memory versesj catechism, songs and to read from Primary books. Some pupils read very well and enjoy having magazines given to them. Most of the scholars are girls who have not attended any school, but who are anxious not to be behind those who have had this privilege. One Bible Woman is working in a new center that has been opened recently, and she reports that she has twenty pupils under regular instruction. “The entrance of Thy word giveth light” and we know that the steady daily teaching of the Scriptures is having its silent effect for good and the advancement of Christ’s kingdom.

TINDIVANAM Evangelistic Work Mrs. Walter T. Scudder, M.D., writes of the work in and near Tindivanam: , Perhaps some who have read “Magic and Mary Rose” will agree that though we cannot report magical results we are trying to do our daily work with the loving interest that brought about Mary Rose’s “Magic.” Other people’s burdens were her’s so in mentioning the “burden” of our work, I may persuade you that there is unseen magic resulting from the carrying on of Evangelistic Work. ' Two smiling girls just came to the door, having come for a little visit after the morning session of our Hindu Girls’ School. Smiles were exchanged. Magic! In spite of fatigue from a morning Dis­ pensary, friendships must be availed of. At seven o’clock this morning, the death of a young woman in the Dispensary brought the chance of a different kind of magio—a sympathizing tear and com­ forting word to the caste relatives. Though reports of results are meagre, we see the grateful look and the expression in deeds from time to time which are the criterion. Then monthly visits, made with the Bible Women to the homes where the Christian story and songs have been taught, carry their own particular magic. The steady numbers of attendance in all departments of our work give no thrill. That we have added a Bible Woman for Village Women would give a thrill to those who know how such work is needed there. The humdrum life of a village woman, where gossip is the only recreation, where life is at a low ebb because of the daily grind that does not bring sufficient wage for an overflowing “bread basket,” needs to be supplemented by teachings that appeal to the “ear” of the soul. That is what is being done in five different places outside of Tindivanam. The town work means a good deal too. For example, we know that it strengthened one widow who had to go through her son’s trying attack of typhoid fever alone in her home, who finally was taken down with the same disease. At night, when they needed water, she said that she prayed and Jesus stood beside her. The Bible Woman told some neighbors about the woman and they helped a little. The son, after recovery, resumed his work in our Elementary School. He really knows quite a little of the Bible which he repeats with pride. Many of the Hostel boys received real spiritual help in the visit of the Frank Buchmann Band, who gave us several days which meant meetings and many personal interviews. This heart reaching time brought riches untold. So we feel that we may pronounce the magic word “Progress” for the work undertaken among all classes in the southern part of the Arcot Field. JAPAN

YOKOHAMA Educational Work Ferris Seminary.—We have much cause for thanksgiving to God for the way He has led us in the past year. The classes have been faithfully carried on, the teachers have been faithful in every task assigned to them, the student body have been kept in health, and they have advanced in their studies and progressed in formation of character. The year opened with a slightly larger enrollment than that with which it closed, but the falling off is for no reason of failure in the school work—it is rather because of financial stress in the home, or because the standard of the work is being raised and some have found it impossible to continue. The personnel of the faculty is very little changed. Rev. L. J. Shafer is Principal, and the Misses Noordhoff, Oltmans, Buss, and * On furlough, 1926. t In America. Eringa are the other Mission members of the staff. Mr. Shafer left for furlough in July, leaving Miss Noordhoff in charge as Acting Principal, but owing to the hearty co-operation of the entire faculty this change has caused very little interruption in the school work. Because Miss Noordhoff had to take the work of Acting Princi­ pal, someone had to be found to take her work. Naturally, a woman teacher was sought to fill the place, but no one being secured, Mr. Fred Steely, a graduate of Denver University, a young man who had done graduate work at Columbia University, was accepted for the place. Though it is most unusual to find a foreign man teaching in a girls’ Mission school, Mr. Steely has adapted himself very well to the circumstances, and he has done his best to meet the needs of the work and to uphold the aims of the school. Our temporary buildings are being kept in the best possible repair by careful oversight but it is only natural that they should be an item of expense and trouble because of the fact that after all they are mere shacks—barracks. Three times during the past year generous portions of the tin roof have been taken off by high winds, so it is not necessary in this report to point out the urgent need of expedition in erecting a permanent building. Ferris Seminary had a bit of special jollification when the news came of the generous gift for the new site, and our joy was .indeed great when were able to secure No. 37, a beautiful garden spot on the Bluff, all unhurt by fire and -within sight of the old location. This is to be used for homes for the Principal and the foreign missionaries, a dormitory for students and two tennis courts for the use of the school. The purchase.of this lot so near the old location makes it possible to retain the old site for the school proper. Our buildings are temporary but our work is not. During the year the equipment has been increased as funds would allow, always keeping in mind the future school as well as the present needs. The library was wonderfully helped by a gift of books from the Misses Baucus and Dickinson, whose lot was purchased for the school. Though many of these books were soiled by having lain under the ruins of their home, yet by good stout brushing in some cases, and by paper covers in others, they have been made fit for use in the work of the school. Other books have been added by gifts from friends, and girls’ clubs at home, and by purchases from school funds. The organization of the Ferris Students Association was com­ pleted during the year, and in its work through its four departments —Literary, Athletics, Grounds, and Library—bids fair to be a real help to the school in the years to come. A very interesting society developed during the last month of the year and gives a fine idea of the unity we find in the student body at times. One can hardly explain it without seeing conditions^ because the need for it arises in the very fact of conditions as we have them. Imagine over four hundred girls in the chapel—really a gymnasium—a shed where basketball and other games are played until the very moment the bell rings for chapel. Then imagine those same 425 girls quieting down immediately. It cannot be done—but it was done! A request from one of the teachers set the older girls thinking. They in turn asked a teacher to help, and the result was a “mugon kwai”—a “Not-a-word Society.” When the bell rings, there is no sound except the voice of the person in charge of the exercises. Japan has special holidays and special days, until even the best informed can scarcely name the days to be observed as holidays and special days. One recently introduced has been the observance of Thrift Week. At Ferris Seminary we had a five minute speech each day of Thrift Week by members of the upper classes, and they were practical talks that ought to have saved the nation many a yen. Another special day was the day we planted the memorial trees for the new Princess born to the Prince Regent and Crown Princess on December 6th. All the girls met on the lawn at the front of the building. Representatives of the faculty and the student body planted two small pines, after which the entire school was led in cheers of “Banzai” to their Majesties, the Emperor and Empress, their Highnesses, the Prince Regent and Crown Princess, and Her Highness, the little Princess. ■ During the year the students of the music department have given regular recitals which show the improvement in the work of that part 'of the school very well indeed. The courses have been revised and strengthened; and in every way possible the students are given such work in music that they may be able to use it easily and readily wherever they go. The religious work of the school is carried on by regular Bible instruction in all classes, by Y. W. C. A., Sunday School and personal work. The Bible course was regulated and revised the past year, and the work is being greatly improved. A special Normal Teachers’ Bible class is held every week; and a teachers’ prayer meeting is held every Monday morning before the opening of school, at which time the Christian students are also holding a session of prayer for the school in one of the class rooms. The Y. W. C. A. is a real power in the school and carries out its weekly classes as well as special services when speakers from outside address the student body. The school Sunday School is carried on by the Misses Hayashi, Watanabe and Buss, and the street Sunday School is in the care of the Misses Oltmans and Eringa, who are helped by members of the Y. W. C. A., which society pays the cost of both schools. During the year there have been 16 baptisms, and there are a much larger number who have begun to follow their Lord. Many of these have not received permission from their parents to be baptized. The Christmas entertainment took the form of the White Christ­ mas with the play, “Gifts to the King,” the key to the spirit of the occasion. By means of chapel and Y. W. C. A. talks, and by posters, the spirit of giving to those in need was emphasized, and when representatives of the various classes brought forward their white gifts for the King, the boxes were found to contain over yen 220. We hope this spirit of doing for others may be carried through the year, bringing the spirit of Christ into our very midst. There are so many things we wish to do, so many opportunities we wish we might be able to accept. Very often we are limited in our ability to help because of lack of time. If some of the mis­ sionary teachers could have fewer hours of teaching, it would mean that we could visit in the homes and make more intimate contacts. How little we are often able to accomplish because we cannot follow up the opportunities we see, owing to a multiplicity of other tasks! But we do not despair. We know the seed is being planted and we pray for its increase and growth. We are thankful for all the opportunities we have and the blessings we have received from the hand of God throughout the year. His promise is sure, who said His word shall not return to Him void—“So we leave it with Him, for He cares—.” SHIMONOSEKI Educational Work Sturges Seminary.—The year of 1925 has been one of steady plodding and, we hope, of steady progress. One of the great events of the year was the completion of the Sage Memorial Chapel. It was dedicated on May 20th. The main auditorium seats our approximately 350 girls, and by throwing in adjoining rooms and using the gallery, we can by scientific seating comfortably accommodate 450 more. This makes it the largest audi­ torium in the city with the exception of the theaters. It is the in­ tention of the authorities of the school to make it not only a place where our girls may gather for morning worship and other regular and special religious meetings, but also a place where Christians may hold large meetings which shall benefit the community. One of the most impressive services held here this past year, was the funeral of a little second year girl. Although she had not been baptized, she was a Christian, and her parents, although not them­ selves Christian, requested Christian burial. The principal of the school was asked to take charge of the service. Since the father of the child was at the head of all government communications in Shimonoseki, there were present at that funeral about three hundred and fifty people outside of the girls of the school. To many of them it was their first connection with Christianity, and it left a deep impression upon many a life. We hope that this building dedicated to His work, may be used of God for many another opportunity for sowing the seed. At the end of the school year in' March, forty girls were graduated from the Main Course, and fourteen from the Higher Course. One hundred sixty-seven girls took the examinations for entrance, and eighty-four of these were admitted. Twenty-five were enrolled in the post-graduate course. At the end of 1925, the total number of students was three hundred and thirty-six. One of the novel innovations at Sturges has been a baby clinic. Because of the high rate of infant mortality in Japan, and especially in the province in which Shimonoseki is located, it was decided to begin a clinic in celebration of the marrage of the Prince Begent and Crown Princess. The beginnings were small, but at a clinic held in the spring, eighty-eight babies of less than a year old were weighed and measured by the girls of the higher course, and examined by two children’s specialists who gave their services free of charge. To each mother of the ten prize babies was given a book on the care of children. The doctors also gave lectures on the care-of children. Another such clinic was held in the fall. During the summer the principal, Mr. Hirotsu, made a trip to Formosa, partly to help conduct some special evangelistic meetings, and partly to advertise the school. As a result of his efforts, one girl, a native Formosan, the daughter of a pastor, came and entered the second year class. Other people have promised to send girls later. This makes Sturges a place where different peoples meet in the bonds of Christian fellowship; for, besides this Formosan girl, and many Japanese girls, there are eight Korean girls in the school. People in Korea do not, as yet, have as great educational advantages as do the people of Japan; and since*we are but a night’s journey from Korea by boat, Sturges is the logical place for them to send their girls. We welcome the opportunity because we believe that thus we may promote a better understanding between the people of Korea and Japan, and in a small way may work for international brother­ hood. . The school bazaar held in November, to which four thousand people paid admission, was very successful from a financial point of view. From the admission fees, the sale of knitted goods, foreign clothing, toys,, etc., and the sale of doughnuts, coffee, cake, “osushi,” etc., we realized the sum of about nine hundred yen. About one hundred yen was given to the Y. W. C. A. to send delegates to the summer conference and the Baby Bureau, and the remaining eight hundred yen was put into the Piano Fund for a new piano for the chapel. Besides being a gain financially, a bazaar like this helps the girls, training them to work together for a common cause, and helping them to carry responsibility. There was, however, too much of a tendency to slight school lessons under the excuse that they were working for the bazaar. We hope to get ahead of such ill effects the next time. , The feeling that many of the people have toward the school was well shown last spring, when we arranged to have a violinist come and give a concert. Most of the tickets had already been sold, when the night before the concert was to be given, a message came that the man would not appear. Since people could not be notified, an impromptu concert was arranged for, given largely by the music students at the school. Mr. Hirotsu tried to find the musician and bring him to Shimonoseki, but to no avail. When he returned during the program, and went to the platform, a loud spontaneous applause from the audience greeted him. At the end we offered to refund the money for the tickets, but explained that if they did not ask to have them redeemed, the money would be sent to the sufferers in the recent earthquake at Kinosaki. A great many people showed their approval of what we had done by turning in their tickets with­ out being reimbursed. • While the foregoing may be interesting and rightly belongs in a report of all phases of the school work, it is not, on the whole, the thing in which we are the most deeply interested, the main reason for our being. We come now to the religious work of the school. All of the six men on our faculty are Christians, and all but two of the eleven women. These two also seem interested, and we hope that they, too, will soon join the ranks of Christ’s followers. Great joy should be taken in the active Christian work done by many of our teachers even outside of the school. The principal is often called on to supply the pulpits of churches far and near. Four of the other men often preach in various places where there is no pastor or where the pastor is absent, sometimes even being privileged to help the churches of sister denominations. One of these teachers (none of these men are ordained) preaches in a nearby town every Sunday. One of our lady teachers acts as organist in the local church, and another goes to Moji to help with the music of a Lutheran Church there. ' At the school much is done to make the religious meetings as helpful as possible to the girls. Besides the morning chapel, and the classes in Bible twice a week, we also have a weekly prayer meeting. This year we are trying a new plan for this meeting. Instead of having all the girls together, with a teacher or other speaker to lead the meeting, we divide the girls into class groups with one of their own number to lead. In this smaller group, the girls feel more free to take part. It also gives us a chance to adapt the meetings to the needs of the different classes. We here in Sturges are very fortunate in being able to have very good speakers give talks to the girls from time to time. Some of the prominent speakers this past year have been Dr. Tagawa, and Prof. Sasao. Prof. Sasao gave a very telling talk about the neces­ sity of a personal relation to Christ. While the number of baptisms is not an absolutely correct index of the results of our labors for. Christ, it does give us some idea of what the Lord has privileged us to do. There are some girls who would like to be baptized but cannot because of opposition on the part of members of the family. However, during the past year, there have been thirty-six girls who have professed Christ. Two older people, the mother and grandmother of the second year child who died, have also been brought to Him directly through the school. There are now 103 Christian girls in the school. Of these fifty-one are in the dormitories. When we consider that there are but seventy- one girls in the dormitories, we see how great is the influence of the constant Christian atmosphere under which they live. We may thank God for the strong Christian characters of the women who are matrons. A thing that encourages us greatly is the number of baptisms of girls in our post-graduate course. There are in the second year now eighteen girls and of these sixteen are Christian. Of this class nine came from other schools, seven of whom have found Christ during their two years with us. We feel that this post-graduate department is a great evangelistic agency, for it brings girls to us at just the age when they are open to the truth and ready to make decisions. Besides the direct influence upon the girls themselves, there is the indirect influence through the girls, for all of these girls are specializing in music or English and most of them intend to become teachers. Through them Christian hymns and, many times, the Christian message will be spread to the little towns to which they go. May God continue to bless us and with us all other Christian schools whose longing is to bring Japanese womanhood to Christ.

KAGOSHIMA Evangelistic Work Miss Evelyn Oltmans was transferred from Kagoshima to Tokyo during the year. She has to make, therefore, a double report to cover her work at the two stations. Concerning the earlier part of it, she writes: When I left Kagoshima in September, the work there was well carried on by the efficient Bible Woman who remained under the supervision of Mrs. 'Ter Borg. The two weekday Bible story hours, held in the homes of friends, and the one held in our home on Sunday afternoons, were well attended throughout the year. The numbers increased most appreciably at Christmas time, as is always the case. The seed of the Word sown in these tender, little hearts in many cases lies dormant for a number of years; then, when in later years trials and sorrows overwhelm these lives, it proves to be not dead after all, but develops and grows and transforms and gives peace and joy. Sunday School work brings the Word into many homes, and opens the door into heathen hearts, hitherto indifferent or unfriendly to Christianity. It explains to many wondering people why these foreigners and these native helpers are doing this sort of work. The literature distribution at the two government hospitals meant scattering the Word in many hundreds of homes. It also meant cheer and comfort to many, sad and lonely hearts. Two pa­ tients at the tuberculosis hospital confessed faith in Christ before they died. And one man, who recovered and left the hospital, began coming to our church and later joined it on confession of faith. Work of this sort among sick folk who have leisure for meditation and who suffer in body, has been blessed to the changing of many a heart. At a large spinning factory that employs a thousand girls, we were given the opportunity of holding weekly meetings. These were held in the evening after the girls had' finished work, had had their baths and their suppers. Of course, attendance at our services was voluntary, and as all the girls were either Buddhist or Shinto in their religion, we did not expect a large attendance. However, we had an average attendance of three or four hundred; and on two occasions, when we gave the girls a magic lantern exhibition and some special singing we had crowded rooms with girls overflowing into the corridors. I NAGASAKI Evangelistic Work Writing from Battle Creek Sanitarium, where she is regaining her health, Miss Couch sends a report of her work up to October, when she left for America: One of the events of the year in Nagasaki was the completion of the new church building, which was occupied ^September 20th and dedicated October 24th. Although for several years the church has been independent, our Mission members are in close touch with it. The women missionaries in Nagasaki belong to its Women’s Society, which for several years has been doing its bit to raise funds for the building. Some American friends may remember purchasing dolls dressed by the women for that purpose. The Society, which formerly met in different homes, now has a room of its own in the new church. The Ochibo, our monthly publication, has carried its message to an increasing number of people; and its readers cannot be reckoned by the number of copies sent out, for those who read it often pass it on to others. Miss Tomegawa’s work until the end of October was much the same as hitherto—Bible classes, calling, preparing Ochibo copy, teaching two Sunday School classes, etc. At Easter time she wrote an article on the meaning of Easter, and we inserted it in two daily papers. When I left in October, she went to spend the remainder of the year in Tokyo, where she still prepares copy for the Ochibo, and is trying to help spiritually her many friends, some of whom are graduates of our schools. Miss Otsuka, who came fresh from Baiko in April, 1924, helped us throughout all this year. Until October three children’s schools were maintained; but the one in my home was necessarily closed when I gave up the house on my return to America. However, I had the pleasure of taking several of the children to the Sunday School at our preaching place, which is quite near. Miss Otsuka, under the supervision of Rev. Mr. Hoekje, carries on the two children’s schools, attends to sending out the Ochibo, which is still printed in Nagasaki, and helps Miss Darrow somewhat with the Japanese language. As I close may I add a personal word telling you all how thankful I am for gains iri health already made, and asking your prayers for still better health and a speedy return to my adopted land, if our Father so wills. '

OITA Evangelistic Work Mrs. Kuyper reports: After a year and a half without a helper, we are glad to report the re-opening of work for women and children once more. During June we were indeed fortunate in getting as helper a young woman graduated from the Bible Training School of Yokohama who, after graduation, worked with the Mission for two years. Then she left us to fulfill a “vow” taken when in school that she would go as a missionary to the women of Korea. So zealous 48 Woman’s Board of Foreign Missions

]l was she in becoming one of them that she can still show her Korean clothes and tell of strange food eaten with the girls of the school where she became a teacher. The entire change of customs, dress and food soon wrought havoc with her health, and she was obliged to return home after a year “abroad.” With health fully restored and a spirit still desirous of devoting herself to Christian work, we found her glad to become our helper when we went to interview her at the home of her father now a doctor in Oita. The hot season was well here by the time she began her work, so we limited ourselves to calling Son the Christian women of the church and the inquirers with whom we had had connection at one time or another, leaving the more aggressive work to be started in the fall. This kept us busy till the time came for mission meeting and the summer rest. J We have found doors open to us everywhere, more than we could enter, and in each home a great liking* for and desire to learn to sing the Christian hymns, and are hoping that these women too, as many others before them have done, may | come to a knowledge of '' the truth through their love of singing. Certain homes are regularly visited week by week for Bible instruction J and hymn singing, and others have come to the house for instruction. As our helper is specially gifted along the line of Bible instruction, we are making that our specialty. As the result of the ’friendly visiting in the homes of the Christians, the attendance of women at the church services has increased markedly, and a morej cordial spirit is evident among the members and, also, towards the ones who come but in -. frequently. The Ladies Aid, too, has taken a new lease of life with a leader who is able to give helpful Bible talks at the meetings; and the church Sunday School is prospering, specially toward Christmas time. ! For the children we have held three Sunday Schools each week and find in each much of interest. The Friday School in the out­ skirts of Oita meets in a rented room over a sake (beer) shop; and when we arrived the second time we found four men feasting down­ stairs. So, while we were teaching the ctiildren Christian hymns and Bible stories, sounds of convivial hilarity] rose from below accom­ panied by the strains of the samisen played |by a professional enter­ tainer. The incongruity did not appear to the children, so accustomed are they to that sort of good times. To the Friday School come boys and girls ranging from the baby on the back to a girl of sixteen who was a pupil in one of our schools three years ago. Here, too, we find both Koreans and Japanese; all are rough and poor, yet they listen with absolute politeness and sing as lustily as the more favored pupils of the Tuesday School. These boys and girls meet in the home of a Christian whose husband is employed in the Prefectural Office. Their homes are in a little village, so to speak, of houses built by this Office for its employees; and the fathers all work there. As one might suppose, they come with countenances well scrubbed, hair well combed and clothes d la mode. They, too, listen attentively, and are much more attractive to look at than the little street youngsters of the Friday School; but they remember no better and sing not so •well. The third Sunday School is still different, though that, too, is held in the home of a Christian, living an hour by train from Oita. We go there Sunday afternoon, and at the station find waiting for us a bunch of rosy cheeked, round faced farmers’ children who listen and sing and afterwards likewise play in the garden with the vigor of abounding life. They are .typical country children and a joy to look upon. The Sunday morning church school is made up of neighborhood children and are the most unruly and the least attentive of all. As the children in our schools are of such different types and degrees of intelligence, so are the women whose homes we enter day by day; and we can but give thanks that we have had the opportunity of sowing the seed, content to know that it is God that giveth the increase and that He will watch over and care for each of these, His children. . TOKYO Evangelistic Work The new school, which Miss Lansing describes, is given a full and enthusiastic description in the Christian Movement in Japan for 1925. Her . present address is Kinuta Mura, Tokyo, Fuka, Japan, care of Seijo Gakuin. She says: Seijo Mura is a new place, a suburb of Tokyo, but out in the country. One year ago there were no buildings on this plot of -350 acres, save a small office. Now there is a school, and some twenty buildings, mostly dwellings. This plot of ground was bought by a syndicate for an educational village. The schools are run on the Dalton Plan, and it remains to be seen with what success. There is a Kindergarten, Primary School, High School, and now they are building a College Building. A University College it is to be. There are hoys and girls in the Primary Depart­ ment, and from next year girls will be admitted to the High School, and it will be a co-ed institution. We are more than two miles from the trolley, and some six auto buses carry the students to and from the school. A new trolley line is being built which will connect us with the main line, and then it will be more convenient here. There is no church here, but as the place grows, I hope a church will come. In one way this is pioneer work; in another way it is not. Many of the people living here are professing Christians, and seem to have wandered away from the Lord. They are too far from Tokyo to attend church. At least, they think so, and are gradually drifting away from it. My Bible Woman who was with me for four years in Fukuoka is here with me, and together we are trying to lead the people of the villages to the Lord. Three afternoons a week some of the students are coming for Bible study, and to sing the Gospel songs. One evening a week some of the girls in a nearby village come to the home for Bible study. Then the maids of the place meet with them, and once a month we have a social evening of it. Every other week we have a Woman’s Meeting, and it is attended by nearly all the women. Saturday the children come. Then we tried to get the children of a nearby village to come on Sundays, but we haven’t succeeded as yet. The first time eight came, but when the parents found it was the “Yasokyo” religion, Christianity, they were hearing about, only four turned up the next time. This spring a number of new dwellings will be built, and soon we shall be a city. Pray for us. May we be a blessing to many. Miss Evelyn Oltmans writes: Since starting the work for women and children in Tokyo this autumn, we have opened two week-day Bible story classes. One of these is held in the home of a woman who has had rather unfortunate experiences. Her trying times have made her outlook on life in general most bitter—for with six children she has had to struggle to keep the wolf from the door. We are hoping that the Bible class in her home may help her as well as train the little children in the true Way. Mrs. Peeke has started a Sunday School on the Meiji Gakuin campus for the children of the neighborhood. It has had an average attendance of sixty, since its beginning in April. Mrs. Peeke and I and three Japanese helpers try every Sunday afternoon to plant in these youthful hearts seed that shall some day bring forth good fruit. This is the first work of the sort done on the campus, and we hope that it is .going to be a blessing to the homes of the neighborhood. In Tokyo we have gotten into a private hospital where we distribute literature. Already we have made some contacts among the patients that we hope will lead to the opening of these hearts to Christ. Near the southern suburbs of the city where we work, there is a large sewing school. One day five of the girls from this school came to our little church saying that they wanted to hear about Chris­ tianity. We gladly welcomed them and fonned a Bible class that has been attended most regularly. Once a week the girls come to our home, where we have a class in foreign cooking, followed by a short Bible talk and singing.- The girls have all bought Bibles and hymn books. These girls come from all parts of the empire and we pray that they may receive Christ into their lives, and go back to their home truly Lightbearers. • ARABIA

MUSCAT Evangelistic—Miss Lutton. x Medical—Mrs. Van Peursem and Dr. Hosmon (on return from furlough). Miss Lutton writes: “ Always there.” .“Though we may not compel the breathless homage of an as­ sembly, but if always there, steady and reliable, wise in counsel, gra­ cious in intention, loyal in performance, our necessary place—this is our task.” . The daily task of evangelistic work among the women and chil­ dren may not appear startling from a written report. But in look­ ing on the past year’s work one is led to thank God and take courage; for being allowed to give the Gospel message in this Moslem land is not always easy with the women, because of their ignorance, fanati­ cism and colossal superstition which always plays the greatest part in their daily existence. In daily visitation in their homes these con­ ditions make it very hard and one needs constantly to have wisdom and love from above and the daily infilling of God’s Spirit. For the women and children who come to the house there is the definite opportunity. Every Sunday the women have attended a ser­ vice held specially for them at the close of the public Arabic service in the church. Except for the fast-month of Ramathan and for the * On furlough, 1926. t In America. exit from the heat, there is a good attendance and the majority do not openly resent the message given. I sometimes hear muttered dissent and imprecations but only from the minority, while others, judging by their expressions, are interested and assent very freely. The confession of one woman, who has been so interested and friendly for years and more especially after she has listened to the testimony and prayers of the convert Marash, was very pathetic when she said: “I am two-faced; one when with you people, and another face when with my people. The gun is loaded and ready for me the day I embrace Christianity and leave Islam. My brother would not delay for a moment to shoot me. I believe in my heart that Christ is the Good Shepherd, but when with my people I am like them.” The Sunday School attendance rises and falls, and fluctuates like the daily exchange in the market. It varies from sixty-six and over to fifteen, th e majority are Beluchis, but there has been a steady increase of Arabs. I often fear the chief interest and attend­ ance of the Baluchi children is due to the Christmas gift and picture cards, which latter are given to them each Sunday. When at school their behavior is very good indeed; but I am unable to manage the crowd after they leave the class. On the way to their homes they are most unruly. It seems as if they had bottled up all steam while in the class. Their war-whoops, after they have retired, show they are at liberty once more and enjoy the freedom of the way-side with­ out receiving any rebuke from wayfarers. The two pupils in the Palace have two mornings weekly given to them. One of them is very dull and has made very little progress; but, because I am able to have- a definite time reading the Gospel at each lesson, I continue to go to them. Because they are of .the royal family, they think they have a royal road to learning and therefore do not study and imagine they will be proficient without strenuous work. _ Again I would thank all who have a share in this work. I am grateful for all who intercede, and give of their means, and who have love and sympathize in the work of Christ among the Moslems. • “1 realize that the intercessory missionary at home is quite as necessary as the working missionary in the far-off field."

BASRAH Educational—Miss Charlotte B. Kellien and Miss Rachel Jackson. Evangelistic—Miss Ruth Jackson and Mrs. Bilkert. Miss Rachel Jackson writes: During the past year no unusual problems have confronted us. The Basrah School has weathered the trying time of government school opposition, and though small in numbers, continues to hold the girls that stayed even though urged to attend the government school. Among the forty-one pupils on roll the number of Moslems averaged 60 per cent. As most of the Moslems in school are from high class families they are quite likely to continue until graduation. It is on these girls we expect to have most influence, so this gives us a greater opportunity for personal work and we hope and pray that the Bible they are studying daily will open up the only True Way. In the spring we had the oppor­ tunity of getting the larger house adjoining our school, so we moved into the new quarters looking to the future of a boarding school. After Annual Meeting Miss Kellien plans to move into Basrah and begin a boarding school.® This will be a chance to try it out and see whether the parents who have always said “If only you had a boarding school” will send their children to us. This will be a help in making our plans for the new Basrah School when we have a building on property of our own. Last May we had the Commencement exercises of both schools together as there were two Christian graduates from each school. In spite of the trying heat, there were a good many guests and the receiving of the diplomas made quite an impression. One graduate is teaching in the Ashar school, one in the Basrah govern­ ment school, another in the Jewish school and the fourth is at home. The Ashar school, which has had an average of sixty-three on roll, had 55 per cent. Moslems. There we had no competition as it was the only girls’ school in Ashar. Our difficulties were in keeping the number of Christians down, as we had an insufficient staff. This year one of the Basrah teachers has moved to Ashar and with the new graduate we are better staffed than before—with three and a half teachers, for we continue to share one teacher with Basrah. This year the schools are to have Miss Kellien for full time in Basrah and myself in Ashar. We hope with the single responsibility that we can the better watch and direct our teachers in their work. The Ashar school has ahead of it the siege that the Basrah one has been through, for the government has opened a school for girls very near our own. We have lost at least ten girls to it and prob­ ably more will follow. The parents are visited and remonstrated .with on terms of religion and some fall easily when taunted with being “poor Moslems” if they send their children to a Christian school. The father of three of our older Moslem girls had been visited and urged to send his girls to the government school and he weakened and was ready to accede. However, the girls objected strenuously and reminded him that he had seen one of their Moslem teachers standing boldly in the window of the government school and assured him that our school was purdah and no man ever saw the girls. They are still with us and as long as we have them we will keep a good many, but if they were to leave a large number would follow in their wake. As the oldest girl may graduate within the next two years, they are anxious for her to remain to receive her diploma. With my program arranged so that I can be free at 3:10 P. M., I hope to be able to keep in contact with their homes and feel that by calling I can establish a friendliness and interest in the girls that will be mutually helpful. It was with great joy and thankfulness that we received the cable that our share of the Jubilee fund was to be $30,000. The * This was impossible, because of lack of appropriations. hunt for property still continues but the sites that we have wanted have been either too far beyond our means or else the land was owned jointly and one owner refused to sell. , We only hope and pray that the right land will soon be available as we are anxious to have our own school plant which must include' the school, boarding school and residence for lady workers. Then too we look forward to a garden large enough for a playground, as that would tend to the full development of the children. Miss Ruth Jackson writes: “ As thou goest, step by step, I will open up the way before thee.”—Proverbs 4:12. (Heb. Trans.) So it has been in our evangelistic work throughout the year, step by step the way has been opened up before us, not through green pastures nor up to mountain tops, not to eager enquirers for the Way of Life, nor to new converts consecrated to Him, but, step by step, along the common path of helpful ministry and friendship He has opened up the way to give His message to increasing numbers of women and children in Basrah. We have been able to do more intensive work this year in the villages of mat huts around us. There are numberless such villages, not only in the palm gardens but in the heart of the city, varying in size from half a dozen huts to a hundred or more. Many of these people live in comparative comfort but a large number live in real poverty. Nearly all welcome not only our visits but our Christian message as well. From this group come most of those who attend our weekly prayer meetings for Moslems. These meetings are very informal, conducted in much the same manner as the native “qariya” and held at Zahara’s where the woman feel perfectly at home. In good weather the hut or yard is nearly filled but during the summer only eight or ten of the immediate .neighbors can be counted upon. These same ones also faithfully attended the women’s Sunday School class. Last winter Mrs. Bilkert had prayer meetings at Makinat el Sus. Her help to a mother of small twins was followed by the offer of her compound as a regular meeting place and eight or ten women gathered there weekly to listen to the reading and talk. However, this village has now been broken up and the people scattered. That is a noticeable feature among this class of families. They are continually shifting and so our contact with individuals among them is often of very limited duration. From the mat villages, also, I draw practically all of the Sunday School children. This work is very encouraging. The numbers have increased to an unusual attendance of about forty and even in Ramadhan there was only a small decrease while last year only four or five came during the fast month. The children have shown a marked improvement in their ability to understand and repeat the stories, especially those whose attendance has now continued over some period of time. The carrying of eye medicine has been started this year. Dr. McRitchie of the Civil Hospital suggested our attempting this service and gave advice in regard to the medicine used. It has brought much relief among the poorer people where there is an astonishing ¥

The Story of the Year—Arabia 55 amount of suffering from bad eyes. It has also brought many ■women and children to the house for daily treatments. I am now planning to fix up the back store room as a women’s mejlis in order to have a place for this work and likewise hoping thereby to attract more callers. Early in the year a fire at night in a district of mat huts left one hundred and twenty-five families homeless and all their posses­ sions gone. Mrs. Van Ess instigated the organizing of community relief and then the work of investigation and supervision of relief was put into our hands. This summer several other fires have left many people destitute. Besides this, a large number of up-country Arabs, starving because of failure of crops, have come down here to seek in vain for work or help. Their condition is pitiable in the extreme, but the people of Basrah are feeling the pinch of hard times too much to have great pity for others. In all these cases of extreme need we have helped as much as possible with medicine, food and clothing. The poverty here presents a real problem, not only in regard to giving aid but also in our evangelistic work. If offers many opportunities for presenting the Gospel and a practical illustration of its effect, but it also teaches people to look for material help, to deceive in order to obtain it and to turn from us in disgust when it is not forthcoming. Nevertheless we can but accept the suffering and desperate need as a call to help and trust our Guide to use this ministry to the honor of His name. The visiting in the better class of houses has continued as before, and I have been glad to gradually get into a new circle of acquaint­ ances who have no other mission contact. Many of these in the past have been friends of Mrs. Bennett or Mrs. Cantine of whom they have spoken most gratefully and lovingly. I am able to find many more opportunities to read the Bible to them, than I could last year, but it was probably my newness to the work and language that hindered me then. In some cases our work overlaps that of our two Bible Women, and in all these homes we find that the Bible Women are considered close friends and are using their friendship to the best advantage as faithful and earnest Christian workers. Our general policy has been for ourselves and our Bible Women to call separately, as that gives an opportunity for more personal work and makes it possible to reach many more families. To let either of our Bible Women go would cause a real loss to the work. Yet the appropria­ tions now come far short of meeting even their monthly salaries. Through the help of friends at home we were able to send Muallima Saidi to her son in Egypt for the summer. Since she came to us from Mardin thirteen years ago she had only been out of Basrah once, and her poor health made a vacation away from here advisable. She has returned much strengthened in health and spirit to take up the new year’s work. ■ During the winter a Persian Turkish woman, married to an Indian, came regularly for English and Bible lessons but stopped when they moved to Magil. Zahara is now having daily reading and Bible lessons. Her generous gift of time and energy in visiting the poor,, alone as well as with us, her faithfulness in hunting up old friends who have moved and in urging women to come to the prayer meetings in her compound has been increasingly an incalculable help. But in spite of her freely confessed faith in Christ as her Saviour and her really earnest service for Him, she is not willing to make the break with Islam and be baptized. In fact it seems to us that she is not quite honest even with herself in considering the matter of full allegiance to one Master. We ask yowr earnest prayers on her be­ half. She seems so near the Kingdom at times. May she not at the very threshold hesitate and fail to enter in to her full inheritance! In all this work made up of small daily duties it is hard to see what we may have accomplished for Christ’s Kingdom, but He who bade us feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and preach the Gospel, has led us in these paths so we leave the results with Him and seek new grace to follow more closely in His steps the coming year. BAHRAIN Evangelistic—Mrs. Pennings. Educational—Mrs. Hakken. Medical—Miss Dalenberg and Mrs. Harrison. ^ During the year 1925, Mrs. Hakken has had charge of the evan­ gelistic work, but now that Mrs. Pennings has returned from her fur­ lough, she will resume the evangelistic work, and Mrs. Hakken will take Mrs. Dame’s school, during the latter’s coming furlough. Mrs. Hakken writes as follows: The year 1924-25 has been one of keenest disappointment and greatest testing of our faith because our hopes and plans for our first year of work after language study could not be carried out on account of serious illness. We took our second examination when we were both feeling far from well, and after Annual Meeting the medical staff performed a very successful operation upon me. I am glad to say that since con­ valescence I feel better than at any time since my arrival in Arabia. Just as I took up my duties in the evangelistic work, Mr. Hakken became ill and it was impossible for me to carry on my work without interruption. The plans I had made and the visions I saw never ma­ terialized because of the above reason, but I am glad to say that with the splendid co-operation and spirit for which Bahrain station is famous, we were able to hold the line even if we did not go forward. Our Woman’s Prayer Meeting every Tuesday and our day “At Home” on Thursdays were well attended. We called on old friends of the Mission most of whom welcomed readings but seemed no nearer the Kingdom than before. Many who have heard the Word over and over and who thoroughly understand what we believe to be the Way of Salvation, listened with interest, but if they believe secretly we are not aware of it. What they would have to endure if they did come out openly alone without their families was aptly expressed by one woman who has confessed secretly to her belief in Christ and His salvation to us and has gone so far as to tell her husband, who is very bigoted. She said, “For years since my husband has known I am a Christian I have lived in my own home with my children and with him who is dear to me, as a stranger. I eat and sleep there as a guest but have nothing to say in regard to managing the house. My son and, of course, my husband, have more control over my little daughter and her future than I have and my daughter-in-law is head of my house. If I ask my husband for a few pennies I am told to go to the Mission, for he will not give them to me. I have only my God to help me and I pray for patience and He never fails me.” I thought she was very fortunate, because many women would be cast out completely if they confessed as much to their husbands. But I feel that God is taking care of her in a wonderful way by keeping her husband from casting her out. We can never realize what it means to the women to come out for Christ. We have seen the in­ sidious workings of the devil in those who have come out for Him in our women converts as well as the men, and yet we have only a slight conception of the price of their confession. Through the hospital and talking with strangers on the streets, we • have made new friends whom we hope to follow up later. I felt freest to testify in the hospital. I felt, shy about doing it in some of the houses where they only listened to be polite. I never failed to impress upon them that the hospital was the House of Christ and all the good, kind, patient work of the doctor and the nurses was done in His name. I enjoyed the hospital cUnic talks immensely and counted it a privilege to go there. So many women come with the patients from out of town and they enjoy seeing a bit of the place and are always glad to have a look into our houses. They exclaim that they have never seen a kaffir before, and we and our homes are a never- ending source of wonder and delight. I feel that the hospital is one of the greatest places for evangelistic work as well as a splendid source for connecting up with new people in and out of town. They come to us so sick and leave us feeling so well that if they could go away with a belief in a loving Father it would be such a great comfort to them in their narrow lives. I hope some day in the near future that our finances will allow us to do a great deal of touring about the islands. There are so many small villages still almost entirely untouched by us, and I had hopes of doing some touring alone with Miss Dalenberg so that we could get in touch with some of the women who cannot come to us in Menoma. There is a great deal to do among the women in Bahrain. So many, many poor people need help and need it, oh so badly. But we cannot scatter it promiscuously, and where to begin and how to begin is indeed a big problem that would take a wiser head than mine to solve. With the unusual rains and terrific winds the poor people in their mat huts have suffered more than usual. We helped those who came directly to us for help, hut many more would have been helped if we had had the money. We trust that through the coming years we may be more fit for the work that lies before us and that the women of Arabia may always be as dear to us as they are now. /

Mrs. Dame writes: "The Bahrain Girls’ School opened on October 1, 1924, and closed for the summer vacation June 25, 1925. The records show a small but steady growth from year to year. This year we had an enrollment of 45 including 1 Christian, 12 Jewesses, and 32 Moslems. The Moslems were divided among 17 Arabs, 8 Persians, 3 Negroes and 4 Indians. The one Christian made a record of 98 per cent, in attendance, the 12 Jewesses 57 per cent., and the 32 Moslems 19 per cent. Of the latter group, the Arabs came the most irregularly, although one little Arab girl made a record of 60 per cent, attendance. The average membership for the year was 19.25, and the aver­ age attendance 14.08. This year was the first time that we had an assistant to help the missionary in charge. Khanimy, widow of Simaan, was engaged and conducted classes in Arabic reading and sewing downstairs, while 1 had the other subjects upstairs, namely, in Arabic-Bible, arithmetic, , geography, and writing; and in English we had reading, conversation and music. Our Friday program of Arts and Crafts was continued as in the previous two years. We made paper chains for the Christmas tree, Christmas cards, scrap books, valentines, Easter lilies, Easter cards, May baskets, paper and yam weaving, and the older girls finished the year by making woven bead necklaces which they had designed them­ selves. Besides designing we had drawing, free-hand cutting, etc. The program also included story-telling and dramatization and in this period we worked out our special day programs. In the first part of December an epidemic of dengue fever broke out and nearly all the school girls had it. The teacher and her assis­ tant succumbed as well, so that school had to be closed for a week. We also lost a couple of days during the worst rain that Bahrain has had for many years, and later two more days when the builders came to repair, the damages. However, on one of these days the girls all gathered at the teacher’s home and we had an all-day Sewing Bee, which was both pleasurable and profitable. We had our regular Christmas party on December 26th, and on the program was a dramatization of the Christmas story featuring the Angels, Shepherds and Wise Men. This program was repeated on January 20th in honor of our visitors from America, Mrs. E. E. Olcott, our Secretary for Arabia, and her daughter, Miss Katherine Olcott) and friend, Miss Anne Rea. We introduced a new feature this year by having an outdoor Sports Day on February 14th. The “field” was the tennis court on the west side of the big Mission compound, and we had benches lined up on three sides of the court, with the veranda of the Mission house spread with rugs and cushions for those who wished to sit native style. The events consisted of running races for both the big and the little girls, relay races with the school divided into two teams, long toss, high jump and a "flag race. The tug-of-war had to be omitted for lack of time. We had a big crowd of spectators. Interest was very keen and the day was a huge success—so much so that the girls \

wanted to have one every month! But I persuaded them that once a year would do, and they are already looking forward to our next Field Day. .Our annual reception was postponed until after Ramadhan, and took place April 29th. We had open house, inviting our friends to come in and see the school and the exhibit of handwork, drawing, sewing and writing which was on display. W e had 46 visitors that day. Our last day program was held in the men’s mejlis on June 24th. In spite of warm weather and sickness we had 35 guests. The year closed with a party at the missionary’s home on June 25th. I had intended to treat the girls to ice cream, but the one ice machine in town broke down and that plan had to be given up. However, they seemed very happy with tea, sherbets and other things. Since this will be my last report before going on furlough, I have made the following observations from the statistics of the last three years: . Nine girls came during the first year only, that is who did not return the second year. Of these, 3 left town, 1 was married, and 3 died leaving a net loss to the school in possibilities for the second year of only 2. Those who attended the first and second years only are 5. Of these 1 left town and 1 married, making a net loss of 3. There were 12 who came only during the second year. Of these 2 left town and 1 was married, making a net loss of 9. I may say these were mostly Arab girls who had reached the “helaywa” stage where their parents objected to their going out on the streets. (Getting them ready for marriage, in other words.) Sixteen girls have attended during all the three years, 9 girls have attended both the second and third years, and 16 have come for the first time during this year. • Using the percentage of loss in the first three items as given, and applying to the last three, it gives us say, twenty girls who can be expected to continue with their studies without counting new enroll­ ments, who will no doubt come in. Four times as many Moslems came this year as came the first year. The problem is to get them to come regularly. They seem to have no sense of stick-to-it-iveness. Even the best of them are absent twice or more a week with no reason at all. The Persians and Indians are much better than the Arabs in this regard. 1 ask your prayers that God will put it into the hearts of more Moslems to come, and that they will come day after day that the seed may he sown where it will have a chance to take root and grow.

Miss Dalenberg gives the Keport of the Women’s Medical Work, Bahrain: A review of the past year’s work shows that the opportuni- tms for medical work are growing steadily and that the present quarters are far too small.' It justifies Bahrain’s request for a new hospital for women and children, which resulted in the Mission’s unanimous support of the project two years ago, and the Board’s sanction a year later. • Ghmc attendance is growing. The number of women and children treated this year exceeds that of last year by 3,500. Reasons for this increase may be due in part to taxi service, which-has become enormously popular m Bahrain. As was pointed out last year, this has been the means of bringing to us a larger number of the better class Arab women and children, as well as Persian. And more and’ more frequently we have groups coming from Moharrek, and occa­ sionally from the more distant places on this island. Moharrek people who come to Menameh for the summer swells our numbers during those months. The most needy and the most appreciative class of the P°0r fr0m the villaSes like Jeberabad, where most ® ..71® Person coolies and day-laborers live. They an also the most faithful in returning for daily treatments, therefor/ we often see better results among them than we do among the beier classes who are less patient and who have the means to buy bazaar remedies which they use themseives rather than come to the hospital every day. Would that results could also be seen in their hearts as they come day after day and hear the message of Christ! The Persians, of course, do not understand much of what is read or spoken, but manv of them know enough Arabic to get a few ideas. Nurse Sundri. often pves a Scripture talk in Persian as well as in Arabic, and I hope to be able to do the same in the not very distant future. The number of in-patients is also larger this year than last. Last year we had 40, this year 62. Most of them have been surgical cases. About half of them were local people, that is, from Menameh, Mohar­ rek and Hudd. Others came from Demam, Katif, Bushire, Linga Muscat, Sumail, Shargeh and Dubai. In January the same ship that brought Mrs. Olcott’s party brought in a group of patients from Dubai, including women from the Sheikh’s house. One was Nura widow of Sheikh Ahmed, nephew of the Sheikh of Dubai. She was a very interesting woman, and interested in all that went on about her. Her operation was a slight one and she and her companions were able to visit with us and the other hospital patients a great deal. They were interested in the Gospel talks and often asked for them. Before Nura left, she said she would send a number of her friends who were ill or. who needed operations, to Bahrain. True to her word, she ad­ vertised the hospital well, and in September another group of Omanis came, bringing women friends of Nura’s. There was a group from Sumail by the ssme steamer, among them a woman with a 45 pound cyst. The highest number of in-patients we had at any one time was 12. This was in the beginning of October. The ward would have taken care of them perhaps, with the verandah, but mos't of them were outsiders with families, and men among them, so they wanted private rooms.- As a result we filled up the new isolation rooms, and even the room that was formerly Saalam’s was brought into use. The new private rooms are the greatest improvement in Bahrain medical work since the hospital itself was built. They are constantly in demand. People come and ask for rooms or a place in the hospital. We show them a place in the ward. No, they want a place by themselves. Then we show them the new rooms if there are any vacant, .telling them they must pay if they stay here. But there is no hesitation when they see the rooms. I wish we had six more like them on the other side. Out-calls have been less than last year. The Ford has done noble work until the last few months. Saalam, the chauffeur, obtained a driver’s license during the summer and has been most useful in tak­ ing the nurses out on their calls. Not having the Ford these last weeks has made us realize what a valuable asset it has been to our work. The majority of our calls were on obstetrical cases where we continue to call on one case nine or ten days. When the Ford was. not available, people sent taxis for us. But that means an added expense for them which makes it more difficult to ask the usual fee for the hospital. And the taxi is often sent at a most inopportune time; in the midst of a morning clinic, perhaps. True enough in former days there was only one nurse here, and no Ford but a donkey, hut how often did crowds have to wait and go home in the burning noon-day sun, because the nurse was called away! Our calls this year have introduced us into a few new homes, though not so many as last year when plague was raging and inocu­ lations were the order of the day. However, calls into known homes tend to establish and strengthen friendships and make openings for evangelistic work. The evangelistic- and medical workers had planned to co-operate and increase the circle of friends in Bahrain by com­ bining medical and visiting calls, as well as to make island tours to­ gether, but because of illness, Mrs. Hakken and I were not able to carry out these plans to any extent, but we hope to develop that this coming year. The Men’s Medical Department shared with the Women’s in island touring this year. The program of weekly tours which we had hoped to carry out was not possible when hospital work became too heavy, but we managed to visit several villages where both men and women were treated, and one tour was made for women only. The first of such visits to a new place brings out mostly chronic eye cases, etc., but repeated and regular visits ought to he the means of bringing these far-away women real, much-needed medical help, and the evangelistic opportunities are great. Obstetrical work has an encouraging out-look this year in that the number of normal cases for which we were called was almost double' that of last year. The abnormal cases, on the other hand, some of them unspeakably horrible because we were called too late, present a discouraging outlook and make us realize more deeply than ever that the condition of Arab women in Bahrain is such that something must he done. The number of women who die in childbirth is appall­ ing, even to the Arabs. We had hoped that we might be able to encourage the women to come to the hospital for obstetrical care, which would go a long way toward solving the problem. But there were only three cases delivered in the hospital this year. In Feb­ ruary our staff was privileged to take care of the first Britisher born on Bahrain islands, Wm. Alexander Hendry. Last April we were asked by the Sheikh, through the Political Agent, for the loan of Nurse Sundri to accompany the royal party on their trip to England. She acted as interpreter for them, and companion. Her knowledge of Hindustani, Arabic and English, as well as her personal friendship with the Sheikh’s family, made her particularly well qualified to serve in this capacity, a fact which both the Sheikh and the Political Agent recognized when they asked for- her. She filled the place as none other could quite have done, and they were pleased with her service and grateful to the Mission for lending her. During her absence and mine to India, Nurse Mary carried all the work alone and was very faithful and efficient. Bahrain medical work has again received several gifts in the way of supplies and money. The Bed Cross and friends in West­ field, New Jersey, gave a generous donation of surgical supplies and blankets; there was a large box of supplies from Trinity Church, Holland, Mich., and there are two boxes on the way 'from South Holland, Illinois. A local European, upon being sent one of our 1924 Reports, responded by sending RS 10 per month towards the support of Habeeb, our orphan. Two gifts of $100 each were received 'from friends at home and will be used to buy equipment for the new hospital. It was with great rejoicing that we received a cablegram from the Board in March telling of the gift of the much-desired appropria­ tion of $10,000 from legacy funds for the new hospital in Bahrain. Immediately the soliciting of local subscriptions was begun. A re­ quest for aid was sent to the Bahrain government. Sheikh Hamed formed the petition and headed the list with his name and a gift of RS. 5,000. Our aim was to get RS. 25,000 locally. If we had been able to start early in spring and if this had been a good year for pearls instead of a very bad one, we might have been able to report “over the top.” As it is, the task has not yet been completed, and only the one who has been soliciting, with unfailing energy and un­ daunted courage meeting disappointments, could tell you what a diffi­ cult task it is. In the meantime there has been almost no delay in getting materials for the new building. The compound wall is finished, steel beams have arrived, and piles of stone lie waiting for operations to begin. We are looking forward to seeing the building completed within the next year. Then if Bahrain is fortunate enough to get a woman doctor, the hopes of year*, will be fulfilled. May the Lord send the much-needed worker for this place in His harvest-field!

Medical—Mrs. Calverley, M.D., and Miss Yan Pelt. During Miss Scardefield’s long and very serious illness, the other missionaries were most devoted in earing for her, and when she was well enough to be moved, Mrs. Mylrea brought her to America, entail­ ing an absence from Kuwait on the part of Mrs. Mylrea of five months, which accounts for there being no report of the evangelistic work for the past year. Miss Strang resigned from the Arabian Mission in June because of ill health, after a short term of devoted service. Mrs. Calverley writes: “ The year has been a hopeful one for the women’s medical work. It was very fortunate that Miss Van Pelt was appointed to Kuwait, for no sooner had she arrived than Miss Scardefield became desperately ill and needed expert nursing, such as no one could better give than Miss Van Pelt. It was well too, that Miss Scardefield’s illness, as well as that of those in our own house­ hold occurred during the cold, rainy season when clinics were not large and the. demand on one’s strength not so great as during the long, busy days of the hot season. Miss Van Pelt devoted her whole time and strength to the care of Miss Scardefield until the latter left for America in June; then, just as we too were leaving, for our holi­ day in India, Miss Van Pelt was released to take charge of the women’s medical work during our absence. And so we realized afresh that we need not be afraid to face the unknown future, no matter what it may bring to us of the unexpected, for His grace .will be as it always has been—sufficient. A report of Miss Van Pelt’s work for the year: first seven months of untiring devotion to Miss Scardefield and then three and a half months in charge of the hospital, meeting all demands, with Dr. Mylrea’s help, would be very interesting. For us the work has very much resembled that of other years. We have not been aware of any opposition to the hospital. Friendli­ ness has increased, and there are encouraging new “breaks in the ice” in the direction of obstetrical work. A few rather dramatic cases have served as an advertisement. In our last report we mentioned our concern about the vacancy that would be created by Nurse Ravamoney’s retirement from our Mis­ sion at the time of her summer holiday. All efforts to find a substitute for her were without success. That trouble was one of the kind that “never happened.” Ravamoney is back with us, quite happy in the prospect of two more years in Kuwait. During her vacation this summer, Muscat station kindly lent us Nurse Mary to help Miss Van Pelt in Kuwait. Not only has our Indian nurse returned to us but we have a new assistant, Lucia, a promising young Syrian girl of our Colporteur’s household, who is doing very well in her effort to learn English and nursing. She lives with the Indian nurse, thus helping to keep the latter from loneliness. Since our return from India about the first of October, the hospital staff has been abundant for all purposes. Nurse Mary will be here until after Annual Meeting, and with three intelligent helpers besides Miss Van Pelt and myself, the work has been easy. Soihe may remember that we mentioned in our last report the difficulty of controlling the mob of women when the number awaiting dispensary treatments is great. Our illiterate Persian door-keeper was quite unable to cope with the situation and many of the most courteous patients had to wait until the last because they would not fight to enter before the others. We had considered a system of numbered v tickets to be given out to the patients in the order of their arrival, but our door-keeper could not read numbers. Now that Miss Van Pelt has taken the situation in hand, we are able to use such tickets and to keep the waiting crowd, for the most part, orderly and quiet. We realize that most of our troubles of last year were due to an inade- • quate staff of helpers. During the summer months Miss Van Pelt preached daily to the dispensary patients. She also has initiated the custom of singing a hymn to the women as a solo, in Arabic, after her talk. The women like to hear the music and seem to understand the words better when there is but one singer. Before Miss Van Pelt began to work in the dispensaiy, Mrs. Mylrea and I shared the responsibility of conducting the services. A frequent and interested listener is a teacher of a girls’ Koran school. Her attitude never seems antagonistic, nor have we seen such an attitude in other patients. At last it seems that there has been some tangible fruit of the many years of work for the women of Kuwait. Black Saida, a freed slave, and for many years door keeper in the dispensary, came into the hospital as a patient dying of tuberculosis. She knew she was dying but showed no fear of death, confessing faith in Christ before other patients who were Moslems. A few hours before her death her husband wanted to take.her home, for Moslems prefer not to die in the Christian hospital and are often carried away just before they draw the last breath. But Saida refused to be taken away, saying that she would die just where she was. We believe her spirit has gone to be with Christ. Miss Scardefield and several others have labored to teach her the way, and, so far as we know, she is the first woman in Kuwait who has died a Christian. ' One young girl who was an in-patient this year is able to' read Arabic with ease. She finished book after book which we gave her. Finally she bought a hymn book that she might sit and sing the words to tunes improvised by herself. "She reads your books day and night” her sister told us recently. No one could see her joy on the rare occasions when she obtains permission to come to services ,or her eagerness to learn more and more without feeling that her heart has been touched by the Spirit. The women are learning that it is possible for them to come to church in our drawing room on Sunday morning. We have a screen placed in the rear of the room and sometimes women patients and friends from the hospital, behind the screen, number eight or ten. They can come to a service in this way without attracting notice. Some of them can read enough to follow the Scripture reading and the hymn. Perhaps this is one of the most valuable of our opportunities. May it be the means of helping other women to follow the example of our black Saida in accepting Christ as Saviour! Sta tistics Total Dispensary treatments: 11,236 (over a thousand more than last year). New Cases: 3,068; Operations: 224; In-patients, 55; Days spent in hospital: 771; Outcalls: 230. AMARAH Evangelistic—Mrs. Dykstra. Medical—Mrs. Moerdyk and Mrs. Dykstra. Mrs. Dykstra writes of Women’s Evangelistic Work in Amarah: One of the reports of last year ended with the exhortation to remem­ ber to praise while we are marching around our Jericho. It reminded me of another exhortation not to forget to praise the Lord while we prayed for needed blessings, and to remember that praise is a condition to expected answer to prayer. Perhaps our reports too often sound the note of need and too little the note of praise. It may be well then to call attention to some of the blessings that have been ours during the year. There is, first of all, the blessing of health which gives us the capacity to enjoy the work. There are also the individual spiritual blessings that the Lord has bestowed, His presence, His help, His answer to our prayers for wisdom and guidance. Without these nothing could have been accomplished. As we review the work of the year special praise and thanksgiv­ ing fill our hearts that one of the pupils of the past two years has come to the decision to make confession of his faith in Christ. It is three years this summer that Naeema first began to show a lively interest in our services. .He became ill the same fall and has ever since had to cope with a weak body and with a disease that may some day cut short his earthly life. This weakness and the precarious physical condition in which he was for several months no doubt did much to clear the way and to prepare his heart for the work of the Holy Spirit. Being unfit for any labor, reading lessons were given to him and this was the beginning of spiritual lessons as well. His heart was virgin soil in that he knew practically nothing of Islam and had not been hardened against Christianity. He himself has come to see that this is one of the reasons why he was ready to believe what the Gospel says. He has had his ups and downs, his temptations by the world the flesh and the devil, but today we can thank God for what he has wrought of faith and love in his heart. (Naeema died a few weeks after this report was written, after an open confession of his faith in Jesus Christ.) Another of the pupils, the little helper with the women, has expressed her faith in Christ and her intention to live according to the teachings of the Gospel. She is only a child of twelve and humanly speaking has insurmountable obstacles to overcome toward the completion of her decision. The afternoon that she gave expres­ sion to this confession was after our weekly meeting where the topic for discussion had been, “Confessing Christ.” On the way home she said “I have had something in my heart for a long time which I was going to keep to myself and I did not mean to speak of it now, but somehow I cannot keep still after today’s lesson. I love Jesus and I want to live by the Gospel, but I do not dare to have any one know about it. My brother and father would kill me outright, and I think even my mother would.” While this confession lacks elements that are essential to full discipleship, yet it also fills us with much joy and praise, while it leads us anew to pray with David: “Forsake not the work of thine own hands,” and then with Paul to say, “Being confident of this very thing that He who hath begun a good work in you, will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.” “They that seek me early shall find me.” Another subject for thanksgiving is the growing interest on the part of another of our servants. He has for a long time shown a timid, fluctuating desire to learn to hear. At the same time he had many serious faults and failings with which to contend, but the best proof of the work of the Spirit in his heart is the increasing evidence that he is trying to overcome his faults, and that he is gaining in courage. He had begun to take reading lessons b u t. discontinued these when he thought it was becoming known. Later he asked for lessons and is now receiving them daily, and also daily lessons from the Gospels. Still another bright spot in the year’s work has been the recep­ tion that the message received, some of the mornings, when the women gathered at the house for treatment. I do not want to convey the idea that these women were holding out eager arms to receive the Gospel. There have been too many times when it has seemed like ploughing on rocks, and when the seed sown seemed to fall every­ where except on the good soil, to allow such an impression to be made. But there have been several times when the attention given and the interest shown betokened that the Holy Spirit was present, and there was power in the Word. One of these mornings the portion of Scripture read was Isaiah 59, and sin and separation from God was the subject of our talk. Many of the women asked questions which helped me in understanding their thoughts. Two of the ques­ tions occur to me just now, and are an involuntary confession of their manner of living. The one was whether the sin of murder could be forgiven, and the other whether it was possible to hide our sins. Another morning when there seemed to be particular interest, the message given was based on two verses: Acts 4:12, “No other name given,” and John 3:31, “He that cometh from above is above all.” The morning of the feast of “Dhaheeya” I read several verses from Hebrews 9 and 10. We began our talk by my asking them if they believed that I had “dhaheeya” as well as they. At first there was no reply; then some one said, “But you are a Kafir.” After this remark others took part and it became easy to tell them about Jesus and His love, that He is a Saviour of all that believe, my Saviour, that He can and will be their Saviour too. One woman said, “Why did you not tell us these things long ago when we were young and could understand?” Still another morning our lesson was about the Healing of the Lame Man, and in connection with this Acts 4:12. I cannot recall any time when I have felt more definitely helped in giving the message, or when it seemed to find such a response in the hearts of the hearers. There happened to be a very large number present and those that sat o£E at a distance stood up to listen, and they themselves sent out those that were attempting to hush crying babies. It was a great contrast to what we so often hear, “Yes, yes, go on, finish, hurry, we want to get home.” We ask our friends at home to pray for us, and they do. Surely we may believe that it is in moments like these that these prayers are being answered. In giving thanks to God for His help and blessings during the year, let us not forget to thank Him for the loyal supporters in the homeland. During the year the Sunday School class has grown, especially during the vacation months when a large number of Sabean children were present. These attend the government schools which are in session on Sunday and this makes it difficult for them to attend during the school year. Two or three of them get permission to be absent for a couple of hours but naturally the teachers are not very ready to excuse the pupils. The enrollment has reached 22 for the morning class, the average attendance for nine months is 9, and besides these there are the women who attend the morning service. A system of rewards has been established in which the children are keenly interested. A second class was begun, which meets in the afternoon. To this were invited the older boys and those of our servants who care to come. For some time there were four regular members, now there are three. In this class we study Old Testament history. In both classes we memorize Scripture verses. The pupils seem to enjoy the Sunday School—the teacher certainly does. There are five or six women who attend our Sunday services, more or less regularly. One of them comes from some distance, all of thirty minutes’ walk. For these women there is also a mid-week meeting at Ali’s house, and to it are invited any who may wish to come. The attendance usually is not. large but those that attend are quite regular. It is our women’s Sunday School class for which there is no time on Sunday. Seven pupils received reading lessons throughout the year. As in previous years, the main purpose was to give them Bible History and to familiarize them with Bible verses and hymns. The minds of old and young are so filled with what is undesirable that it calls for every effort to plant there something new and pure and uplifting. Two of the pupils have about mastered the art of reading and can enjoy doing so. The others are in various stages of progress. The major part of every morning for most of the year was given to treating sick women and children. The number that came varied between thirty and seventy daily. It was quite a task to take care of such numbers. The qualifications, accommodations, and supplies were as limited as in previous years. Of course the treatments given were for the most part very simple, or this number could not have been cared for under existing conditions. There was one advantage this year over last in that Dr. Moerdyk was near to give counsel and advice. And it was a great help indeed. Women.of the upper class came in increasing numbers while the doctor was in the station. Being able to pay for their treatments, these women receive attention accordingly in the government hospital and have not come to me often since I was alone. The poorer women are very loathe to go to the hospital, where they received scant courtesy. All agree that the personal attention and examination by the doctor or assistant is rare and the treatment given by the servants is in direct ratio to the financial standing and personal or family influence of each individual. There were some thirty requests to call on sick cases in their homes. As was stated before, the numbers that came for treatment when so little of real assistance can be-given is eloquent of the need and the opportunity for medical work. Physical help is the only kind that most of them understand or appreciate and the bulk of the people in all this country are of that type. Calling on women in their homes was sandwiched in between the other work as opportunity offered. The total number of visits made was 166, and the visitors at the house numbered 133. The lessons given to the Sabean girl was the means of increasing my acquaintance with a larger number of Sabean families. Sometimes one feels very much closer to them than to the Moslems, as if they care more for us and our message, while at other times they seem very distant and hard to reach. The Iraq Government seems to proselytize among them by giving them Mohammedan .names when they are registered. Also these children when attending school find it difficult to be excused on Sunday, which is the Sabean day of rest. Strong drink is prevalent among them and brandy is the favorite soothing syrup used by the Sabean mothers for their sick babies. The impression that we received the first year abides that the majority of the women are too preoccupied tto have much time for the message. In this country, where mostly the women do the work, those of the poorer class have very little time to sit around, while those of the upper class are at present too much interested in what is the “Moda,” and in their schools, their government and their nation,, to have a mind for what we would give them, and too satisfied with their own ideas of progress to feel much need for anything else. All this talk of Iraq having a place among the nations of the world finds its reflection in the women in their homes. An illustration of their good opinion of themselves is the following: While I was entertaining some women the conversation happened to be about the Armenians. I chanced to remark that they were a very clever race. A school teacher at once replied, “When it comes to intelligence none can overtake the Arabs; all we need is opportunity.” On another occasion when several ladies were entertained by Mrs. Moerdyk, the acting principal of the Girls’ School entertained the guests by reading selections from a magazine. It shows how far these women have travelled since 10, 15, or 20 years ago. It brought to my mind a visit in Bahrain during my first year on the field. When we asked if it was convenient to have us call the reply was, “It is always con­ venient, you are an amusement to us, we have no other.” Now, in Amarah, some of the younger women play card games when they visit, and it is reported that some also indulge in strong drink. Also, there seems to be a growing sentiment to live and let live. While this may to a certain degree create opportunities for speaking to them about the Gospel, in actual fact it makes these women indiffer­ ent to an appeal to the things that are spiritual. The one Wahabi neighbor we have is very intolerant and uncompromising when religious questions are discussed, but her evident sincerity and faith in her own religion acts as a tonic. It has often surprised me how this Nejdeeya commands the attention of the other women when they together speak about things Moslem, while in all social matters she is far from being the leader. The Sunni women of Amarah make the pilgrimages to the Shiah shrines, but at the same time, if it is possible to do so, they like to be associated with the Moslems of Zobeir and Nejd. The past year has been a very severe one. The Muttasarrif stated that in some districts almost famine conditions prevailed. Sometimes, to be well fed and well clothed seemed to mock these poor people in their poverty, and to constrain one to share their distress and misery. Some such thought about the inequality of things must have been in the mind of a woman I met while out calling. After listening to the reading she said to' me: “I would like to ask you a question. How is it that some days we have food and some other days we go to sleep with stomachs that have been empty from morning till night? Sometimes we have our one garment, and sometimes we do not, and we are Moslems, while you people are kaffirs and have all you need, and are well fed. Why is it, and how can it be right?” This great poverty has made it a difficult matter to sift the wheat from the chaff. To be so poor that one must beg need not be a proof of insincerity when this type of people seems to listen well or to be interested. And yet experience proves that their need and their interest are in direct ratio to each other. The great need in all our evangelistic work is the old, old problem, that they may learn to know and to confess that they are sinners. Our touring was largely limited to the main rivers owing to the low water all year. Consequently many places that we had planned to visit had to be passed by. Several times during the year I have met women in Amarah who live outside in villages where we have been in the past, and it was encouraging to hear them say, “You used to come and visit us, why don’t you come now?” It shows that some small foothold has been secured in the outlying district. We are hoping for higher water this year so' that we can get into these branch streams. Great poverty and distress were particularly noticeable when we were out among the people in the district. Where two years ago there was always the Arab welcome and hospitality, 'this year it seemed lacking. It did not take us long to-realize that poverty was the reason. Therefore we arranged our visits so as to meet this situation. We planned to arrive at a place soon after meal time, make a short call, and then spend the rest of the time reaching the next encampment at a similar opportune time. In this way we saved the people from embarrassment, and were able to stop at a goodly number of places. But the work was depressing. Wherever we visited, the one topic of conversation was the, hard times, the lack of rain, and poverty. It was very difficult to get any one interested in any other subject, and often I have felt embarrassed and hindered because! I was so much better fed and better dressed, and as if I had to shed these comforts and share their burdens with them if they were to understand anything at all of what I was trying to tell. It is so easy to speak of God’s love and care when-we lack nothing, on the other hand it is hard to believe that God is love when hunger and nakedness is one’s daily portion. ' During the summer a young orphan girl came to our house as a “dakheela” (refugee). I was alone at the time and greatly perplexed in deciding what to do. After much thought I consulted the Mutta­ sarrif. He knew the man who was oppressing the girl. He said that the man should be behind the bars, and that if the girl wanted to stay with me and I was willing to help her, that no one could interfere. I hope that it may be possible to pass her on to the ladies in Busrah and see her placed in school there. There are many needs of the work in this station that might be mentioned, some similar and some dissimilar to those of other stations. The call for medical work has already been presented in previous reports and in this year’s circular letter. There are four women for tohom I ask your special prayers that they may be brought closer to Christ: One of them has asked for baptism. There comes again the call to prayer for Moslems that there may be a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit and that, as at Pentecost, they may be moved to ask,

“What% must we do to be saved?” There is one need I would like to emphasize more particularly. It is the call to serve the many little children in the Amarah district. Only two weeks ago a little girl of nine was ordered to be sold for debt, i The government schools are caring for some of the many children around us but not those of the poor. We as a Mission spend! large sums annually to evangelize older people. Why can we not dp at least something for the children? Through some sort ot practical work, something that would give immediate returns, these many ! children could be interested and influenced. The very poverty of the people is an opening. The parents will not allow us to have their [children to train them unless they see opportunity for financial gain, land if we can make use of this state of mind and combine work and education we will be sowing seed in soil that is more promising than ithe hearts of their parents. If .some missionary could be set apart to do children’s work, just as we appoint others to medical and evangelistic work, we will be making a beginning in this field so full of opportunities. Under the present conditions of lack of workers and of necessary funds to carry on existing work, it may seem, futile to suggest anything new or any broadening out of our present efforts, but may we not keep this need definitely before us, praying that the Lord may make possible, in His own good time, some special effort for the children, that they may learn to know and love the Good Shepherd, As we pray for pardon for all past mistakes and failures and sins .there comes encouragement from Paul’s words, “Forgetting the things that are behind and reaching forth < unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” \

V *» • } Annual Reports for the Year Ending May, 1926

, RESUME OP THE YEAR At the request of our President, the following resume of the year has been prepared in the absence of the Corresponding Secre­ tary who has been visiting India and Arabia. In the afterglow of the Jubilee an outstanding realization has been that the many women who have used “First of All,” are praying as never before for the coming of His Kingdom. It was much appreciated by the women who still love “their mother tongue,” that this was published in the Holland language, as has” also the leaflet by Dr. Ida Scudder “The Parable of the Water Jars.” The Anniversary at Paterson with its fine attendance and spirit sent us to our respective churches conscious that ours is “no common task” to help win the world to Christ. ' The Fall conferences in the West were specially favored in having our President, Mrs. DeWitt Knox, who expressed for the Board and the Missions the gratitude and appreciation for their Jubilee gifts. ■ Missionaries and members of the Board were busy all the Fall and Spring attending conferences and auxiliary meetings. Miss Clara Cobum received a warm welcome from her Classis of Rochester, and Dr. Sarah Hosmon was welcomed by the Classes of Albany and Newark and elsewhere. Mrs. and Miss Conklin and Miss- Ruth Scudder have devoted much time to speaking and with great accept­ ance, also Mrs. J. H. Wamshuis, M.D. We have been grateful for ' the cordial co-operation of the Board of Foreign Missions as from time to time our societies have been able to hear Dr. Cantine, Mr. • Shafer, Mr. J. H. Potter, Mr. Wamshuis, and Mr. F. M. Potter. • We have also shared in the blessing of Rev. Simeon Cornelius’ visit to our churches. The shadow of June caused by the sudden Home Going of Mias Mildred Lang found a rainbow of hope in September with the com­ ing of Miss Evelyn Zwemer, who has taken up the duties in the' Young Woman’s work with consecration and high hopes The following are the changes in the personnel of the Board: Owing to a transfer in denominational affiliation we have regret­ fully accepted the resignation of Mrs. Hamilton Y. Meeks, for many years a loyal member of the Board. From the circle of our Honorary Vice-Presidents the call to our Fathers’ Home came to Mrs. J. J. Janeway of New Branswick, N. J., in the Autumn. ‘Though on account of failing health Mrs. Janeway was not able to attend the meetings, yet we were assured by her gifts of her interest and prayers. On May 4th Mrs. D. B. Yan Houten, a member of the Board from 1892, after a long illness “entered into the rest that remaineth.” 71 - 1| / We cannot but recall how in the days of the Jubilee rush Mrs., Van Houten more than once came to lend a helping hand. Changes in the Classical Committees: , Albany—Mrs. John H. Selfridge succeeds Mrs. E. J. van Slyke, whose 1 devoted service in her Classis only ceased when she received the call to enter into Life Eternal. ^ Dakota—Mrs. C. Vander Schoor succeeds Mrs. A. Rozendal, who removed from the Classis. Greene—A vacancy has just arisen owing to the death of Mrs. T. C. Perry. Muskegon—Mrs. J. Te Grootenhuis is in place of Mrs. Danhoff, resigned. ‘ Philadelphia—Miss Etta Suckow fills the vacancy caused by the death of Mrs. W. H. Williamson. Two lives have been called from the foreign service to that of Our Father. In June Cynthia Borgman of the Amoy Mission after a brief illness and just as she was prepared to take up her life work; and at dawn on August 30th, at the sunset of life, Mrs. John Scudder, full of years and good works. Miss Agnes Buikema has joined the Amoy Mission where Miss Vander Linden received a loving welcome on her return. Miss Henrietta Keizer, a short term teacher, is busy at Sturges Seminary, Shimonoseki, Japan, and Miss Cornelia Willimina Jongewaard since her arrival in India has been devoting herself to language study. | Ranipettai Hospital has been gladdened by the return of Miss Noordyk. ' Home Base Activities in Room Ten under the efficient direction of Miss Martha Andersen have left no idle moments. Orders for, leaflets, pageants, plays, costumes, curios, mite boxes have been promptly filled; 237 copies of “Fifty Years in Foreign Fields” have been ordered, some of them the generous gift of one of our Vice­ Presidents. Conference packages have been prepared and mailed, also the 1,900 sets of Missionary Home Department material which is sent out jointly with the Women’s Board of Domestic Missions. Leaflets published during the year have been: Breaking the Pots My Happiest Hour I Want It, Too ‘ China, Yesterday and Today. Also the special series supplementing the study of “Prayer and Missions,” which were: Village on the Rock Esther’s Cure Prayer of Faith 1 Beng-to Knew Blind Grandmother’s Prayer , , Seedtime and Harvest The Open Way , Whose Prayer Was Answered. . The leaflet for Foreign. Missions Sunday was “The Little Red Hen and Krishna.” To Mrs. John W. Conklin we are indebted for her exquisite tribute to Mrs. John Scudder entitled “A Missionary Mother.” A brief History of The Pity Little Children Home by .Miss M. E. Talmage has been printed for use by the Baby Roll Secretary. Other missionaries at home on furlough are the Misses Pieters, Couch, Holkeboer and Nienhuis. The former is studying music at Downer College while the other three on account of ill health have been at Battle Creek Sanitarium. He who sits over against the Treasury has marked the conse­ cration, the judicious handling, meticulous care and wise investments of our Treasurer, Miss Yan Nest, whose statement follows: “The gifts of the year have been $183,850.08 which have enabled the Woman’s Board to meet all the obligations of the year, but to undertake no new work, and to begin the year with only a working balance of $800. “Of special gifts two have been given to endow beds in the Mary Taber Schell Hospital, one in memory of the Rev. John Scudder by the will of his sainted wife. Annuity gifts to the amount of $3,500.00 have been received. The Young Women have more than met their budget of $10,000.00. “The Matt Rens fund has been established by which the Girls’ Boarding School at Madanapalle is assured for years to come of a payment of $250.00 to admit girls to the school who otherwise could not be provided for through the regular funds. “Legacies have provided greatly needed additions to school build- ,ings in China and India. The Reconstruction of Ferris Seminary is proceeding rapidly through funds received a year ago and since, $35,000.00. The Hospital for women and children at Bahrain will soon be in existence because women of the church have remembered the needs of the Woman’s Board of Foreign Missions in their wills. The Board being the custodian of funds for Ferris Seminary had the privilege of receiving the legacy of Miss Julia Moulton who through this gift will have a lasting memorial in the Seminary she served so faithfully in life. Of the Jubilee Funds the appropriation for houses for teachers, of $21,500.00, has been forwarded; $10,000.00 has been sent to complete the»Girls’ High School in Amoy and later a grant of $1,200.00 was sent for equipment and $2,000.00 of the young people’s offering for the ‘Pity Little Children Home, Amoy, China.’ ” In this after the Jubilee year we are thankful for the churches, societies and individuals who have made it possible for all the Board’s obligations to be met. Ferris Seminary has rejoiced over Mrs. William Bancroft Hill’s gift of a much desired piano. The Board has been represented at the Annual Meetings of the' Federation of the Woman’s Boards of North America, the Foreign Missions conference and the Conference of the Presbyterian and Re­ formed Boards of Foreign Missions. Such contacts strengthen one’s mental vigor and give fresh enthusiasm and inspiration in helping to meet the “Unfinished Task.” Week by week we have given to the church glimpses “through the windows of the world” in pen pictures by our missionaries. As education is one of the biggest factors in human progress, so the missionary text books (375 copies of “Prayer and Missions” have been sold by the Board of Publication) and leaflets are aiding us in our re-thinking of living and giving for those to whom the story of Christ is not known. Pacing the future, confident that “The King Eternal leads on,” we know that “If on our daily course our mind Be set to hallow all we find New treasures still of countless price” await us. ■ t .

FIELD SECRETARY FOR YOUNG WOMEN’S WORK The report of the Field Secretary for Young Women must needs be limited to the work accomplished during the last eight months of .our Church year. Early in June of 1925, the Young Women’s Department lost its devoted and consecrated Secretary, Miss R. Mildred Lang. The May Anniversary Meeting of the Board was the occasion of Miss Lang’s last public address, and those who heard her then will never forget the inspiring challenge she gave them. Our young women have indeed lost a great leader and advisor. The work of the summer conference at Northfield, Mass., was taken over and completed by the Camp Leader, Miss Prances V. K. Voorhees. Ninety-six girls were enrolled as members of Camp Eendracht, and they were happy to have Miss Noordyk, of India, as their Camp Guest. Mrs. D. V. B. Hegeman lovingly assisted as Camp Advisor. The activities of the new Field Secretary,, beginning last Septem­ ber and during these eight months past, were necessarily first directed toward learning the field, the various avenues of work, and bringing to completion the plans already made for the year. Then there were contacts with the various groups of girls and organizations to be made, and an adequate knowledge of conditions and problems to be gained. All the regular functions of the office and field work, which had been temporarily suspended, were resumed. As much new work was undertaken as could be done efficiently. The first young women’s gathering of importance, after the fall work had begun, was the Conference for Leaders of Young Women’s Work, held on October 24 and 25, 1925, in the Marble Collegiate Church, New York City. In spite of very unfavorable weather condi­ ’ tions, the delegates gathered about two hundred strong for the open­ ing session. The girls were enthusiastic and willing to participate in the conference. Coming as it did almost at the end of the twenty- fifth year of the organization of the young women’s work, this Report of the Field Secretary for Young Women’s Work 75

Leader’s Conference was, in a measure, a celebration of the Twenty- fifth Anniversary. At the opening session of the conference, we were privileged to have present with us the first Chairman of Young Women’s Work, and the first Field Secretary of the Department. After a time of earnest discussion on a practical questionnaire, to which the girls responded enthusiastically and whole-heartedly, the delegates were entertained at a reception in the Church House. There followed discussion groups on various topics, and a beautifully effec­ tive pageant, “The Road to Happiness.” The closing session of the conference was the Vesper Service on Sunday afternoon. «■ A number of young women’s group conferences have been held during the year. The Missionary Conference supper for young women in Grand Rapids, Michigan, last October, with Mr. Ohori as speaker, was very inspiring. An unusually successful Community League Rally was held in Holland, Michigan, in March, upon which occasion, Mrs. John Van Ess gave the girls assembled a sympathetic portrayal of the Arabian girl’s life, as she had learned to know it. The young women of the East Sioux Classis had their share in the Classical Conference at Newkirk, Iowa, in October, 1925, under the able leadership of our Classical Representative of Young Yemen’s Work. The Young Women’s Missionary Classical Union of New Brunswick held its annual Conference on the evening of April 28th, in Highland Park, N. J. The other young women’s Classical Con­ ferences which have been reported, are the one at Three Bridges, N. J., for the Classis of Philadelphia, and one at Yonkers, N. Y., for the Classis of Westchester. There were two other group confer­ ences which were not strictly Classical conferences; one at Schenec­ tady, N. Y., for the Leagues in that vicinity, and one at Montgomery, N. Y., for the three Leagues of Walden, Pine Bush, and Montgomery. The work of our young women has also been presented at a number of the Women’s Missionary Classical Union Conferences. The annual Camp Eendracht Northfield Reunion was held on April 17th, in the St. Nicholas Collegiate Church of New York. After short messages . of greeting from representatives of both Women’s Boards, Dr. John McDowell, Secretary of the Board of National Missions of the Presbyterian Church, gave the girls an in­ spiring message which thrilled them with new Northfield enthusiasm. After the program a delicious supper was served. The Northfield “stunts” which some of the girls had prepared, the Camp songs and cheers, showed how well the girls had caught the Northfield spirit. Camp Eendracht Northfield announcements have been printed and distributed, and we are looking forward to two splendid weeks of conference and the best year ever in Camp Eendracht. That part of the eight months’ work which we feel to be most effective, and from which we can hope to reap the most abundant harvest, is the work that has been done in the individual League groups. This included the work of organizing new Leagues, renew­ ing interest and missionary zeal in groups already formed, directing the trend of missionary study and endeavor, and assisting the girls to solve some of the problems of their individual societies. Sometimes this was accomplished by short talks, sometimes by the question and answer method. An important and by no means insignificant part of the work has been our correspondence with organizations too far distant for personal visits. We trust that the missionary plays and pageants, the study and reference books, and supplementary literature we could send them along with the answers to their questions and problems, have been of some assistance to them in their work. We are happy to report twenty new organizations of young women and girls during the last eight months. Three societies have been disbanded during the year: two others have been reorganized. One of our Leagues decided to accept the responsibilities of full Board affiliations. The young women’s column of the Intelligencer and Mission Field has been supplied with letters and news from our young women’s missionaries, descriptions o f. their work in various fields, notices and reports of conferences, a service for the Installation of New Officers, and other items and suggestions. The Church League for Service Hand Book has been revised and printed. ° The Young Women’s Budget for the past year was again set at $10,000 for the work in the foreign fields. Not only has every item in the Budget been more than met, but the books also show a number of gifts given for purposes not specified in the Young Women’s Budget. The gifts of the young women received by the Board for all purposes, those specified in our Budget, and those outside of our appropriations, amount to $11,902.50. In our work with the girls we have tried to emphasize the importance of giving toward mission­ ary work, giving not only of money but of thought, of time, of service, and above all—of self. Such are the outstanding features of the work that has been begun during the past eight months among the girls and younger women. The opportunities and possibilities of the work are limitless; we feel that we have made only a beginning. There remains much to do to attain the fulfillment of our purpose, that of giving to the girls and younger women of our churches a fuller “knowledge of Christ and the power of His new life” as it is revealed in our mis­ sionary work.

COMMITTEE ON YOUNG WOMEN’S WORK We report six meetings of the Committee on Young Women’s Work of our Board, and seven joint meetings, when in conference with the Committee of the Home Board, we formulated plans for our Young Women’s Conference in the autumn and a Northfield Reunion this spring. The death of our former Field Secretary, Miss R. Mildren Lang, occurred very suddenly on June 7th, and our Young Women’s Com­ mittee voiced their sorrow in appropriate minutes, which were printed in the Christian Intelligencer and a copy sent to the sorrowing family. Report of the Committee on Young Women’s Work 77

Miss Evelyn Zwemer of Holland, Mich., was invited to take the position of Field Secretary, and came to us in September. We have given to her a loving welcome and she has given to us and to the work the unassuming capability, which her nature evinces. The year of beginnings and adjustments is nearly ended and oui; earnest young Secretary has secured a splendid grasp of the broad .'field which her work covers. We met our Budget, $10,000. Over and above that amount came a gift of $1,000 from a friend of Miss Zwemer, definitely given to work on the Foreign Field. We ask your prayers that our young women may be cheered on to great endeavor. o Young people like independence of thought and action—but even more than liberty of self expression do they appreciate loving sym­ pathy and co-operation from their older sisters. L ouise de M und H egeman, Chairman.

THE SEWING GUILD In presenting the twenty-ninth annual report of the Serving Guild it is very gratifying to report growth in its work. In most undertakings the interest is apt to be spasmodic, with periods of retrogression as well as advancement, but in our endeavor there has been no lessening of interest nor swerving of purpose and this, in any enterprise, shows genuine growth. Our success is due largely to the fact that we have specific aims and a band of consecrated workers. How satisfactory to know that back of the missionaries who are working so splendidly to wipe out the fears of superstition and cut the bands of heathenism, are the members of the Sewing Guild— every-ready, eager-to-help women, girls and boys in the homeland with their hands full of gifts to supply the material heeds which in so many instances prepare the way for spiritual help. Such messages as these tend to emphasize the value of our support. From Arabia. “I certainly do appreciate receiving the Guild Box, and have found abundant use for the warm clothing. I cannot begin to give you an adequate picture of the extreme conditions existing here. There,has been no rain at all last year, and it has meant almost famine conditions. We are feeding a half a dozen women daily. Among so many needy ones it is hard to decide who is most needy, but in general we help only old women and very young mothers with babies. No one who could see these half-naked women -and children would ever regret helping to cloth them. Most of these poor people have no more covering at night than that which they wear during the day. Anything that you feel you can send next year, in the line of clothing, will be more than welcome—we do need so much. When I see all the poor I cannot help but beg as they beg. We never have enough dolls. It is hard to turn away the girls with their eager, imploring faces, but we have to be firm in order to have dolls to give to the suffering ones to comfort them in their pain, and to win their confidence so that we can treat them. What we would have done this Christmas without the Sewing Guild boxes I do not know. How to scrape up presents enough for all the Christian cbm- munity and the Mission helpers who come to our Christmas party, is always a problem.” Another worker in Arabia writes: “How I wish it were possible V for me to tell you of the help your box gives to us all. When we opened it how we did rejoice, and our hearts sang for joy at the sight of the things which mean so much to us. The quilts, blankets, sheets, cases, towels, gloves, gauze, caps aprons, etc., etc. Many blessings on the heads of all the dear givers. The picture cards are very useful , to us. You would smile if you could see us sorting over the cards to pick out the unused Christmas, Birthday and Easter cards to give to our friends. We can’t run around the comer to buy a card when we need it here. You would be surprised how many perfectly new cards come in the boxes. We do feel your keen interest in our work, and your willingness to help is a great encouragement to the mission­ aries.” , i From China we have an account of the pleasure derived from the things sent there. “Thank you for all you are doing for us. I know it is not an easy task, but if you could know how much joy it gives to us who play ‘Lady Bountiful,’ and to the women and children who receive the gifts, you would feel well repaid. The poverty of the people in this war-stricken land is appalling. The nice quilt that was in the box we gave as a wedding present to a girl last week. She is a true Christian and was in our school for years, and still in school last term. She was so happy to have the quilt. So . you see the box is a constant joy to us as well as a great help in time of need. We think often of the love that comes with the boxes, • and the hours of labor it took to prepare them.” “I ’m near bubbling over with joy!” writes another. “What a lovely surprise box you sent. The dolls are fine; black hair too! They detest white hair or red like mine. (I’m out of luck.) There will be enough for my highest class. How anxiously I searched to see if there would be enough of the big size for each of the big girls— 'and there were. My heart jumped fifty bounds at every new find. I am so delighted with the pink and blue baby coverlets. Pink is the one color in all the world to the Chinese; white they do not like, and really white does not look well next to the baby’s yellow skin.” The following expresses the joy of one of the teachers. “You certainly did send me the peach of a Guild Box. It arrived here Friday afternoon just as I was starting down to the beach with the girls. Because of the British boycott, it had stayed in Hong Kong some time, so we were very glad to see it arrive. I just couldn’t wait till the next day to open it, so I cut the girls’ beach-party short, and so got time to open the box before supper. And such a lot of nice things were in it, I found just what I wanted. Some of the baby dresses, blankets, etc., I made up into bundles for new little arrivals in some of our preachers’ and teachers’ families. You certainly are a great packer. Everything was in fine condition, so neatly packed.” And here as Chairman of the Sewing Guild Committee it is a pleasure to speak in words of deepest appreciation of the work done by the mem­ bers of that Committee upon whom fell the burden of unpacking, assorting and dividing these thousands of gifts. And then packing the boxes for their long journey. Amid favorable surroundings the task would have been difficult, but under conditions that exist in our over-crowded basement the accomplishment of the work would have been impossible to others, than women who count not hard work done for “His sake.” Supplies were sent as usual to the hospitals, schools, and evan­ gelistic workers in India. They were very welcome as the following quotations show. “The box was such a nice one and we are more than grateful, indeed, to the interested people across the seas who have given of their abundance so that some of India’s very poor might have a cloth to cover themselves, and the children might know the joy of having a doll or some toy of their own. We wish that you who have given could see the. happiness and gratefulness of these little ones when a doll, some toy, or even just a pencil is given. Their Salaams or thank you, are from the heart. “The other day while I was visiting my Hindu girls’ school, I found several girls, who because of lack of clothing, were not fit to be in school. All they possessed was a small dirty rag to cover their naked bodies. What a joy it was to have the garments from the boxes to give them. We are so happy when the parents of these Hindu girls are willing, to send their children to school, and we would not want to turn any away because they do not have clothes to wear. Yes, somebody’s gift of a petticoat and jacket is keeping these girls in our school who otherwise would have to be sent home, and who would be denied at least a little education.” The head of another school writes “that the new clothes were given out at once to the raggedest of the children and they all wore them to church the next day looking very pleased with themselves. The training students are doing a little social service by making up some of the remnants into pretty Christmas clothes for our family of orphans. We always want them to have something for Christmas a little different from the usual jackets and petticoats from the boxes which they wear all the rest of the year. Our accounts for the year are closing with a deficit in spite of all our efforts, and we did not know where to find the money to buy cloth for the orphans. So we fell upon these remnants with great joy. They make such pretty dresses for the little ones, with black feather stitching, and the edging that came in some of the sewing bags. The children will be so happy when they receive them Christmas Eve. The sheets, pillow cases, and nightgowns were sent to the ‘Hospital Cottage,’ where every sick child is put to bed between sheets in a real hospital bed covered by one of the pretty Sewing Guild quilts.” From one of the hospitals in India comes this appreciative ac­ knowledgment. “Thanks many and most hearty for the wonder- boxes containing such splendid supplies for another year. You have dealt generously -with us dear mother Sevang Guild and we are truly grateful. So imagine if you can what a big, big Christmas joy you are giving to many; not alone that, but all the days of the year we will be blessing you for the sheets and towels, baby blankets and slips, and the nice warm soft quilts, and the toys, oh my! such dollies! The mere sight of one is enough to put a wee orphan on her good behavior perchance, the joy of having one might fall to her. How I did bless you for the wonderful lot of gauze. With grateful hearts we behold our replenished shelves and pray for Heaven’s richest blessings on the donors.” Another writes: “The boxes arrived and I assure you I appre­ ciate your kindness for we needed the supplies badly. It seems I have done nothing but give out sheets, pillow cases and jackets and petticoats, to say nothing of the baby clothes, since I arrived home, and while I am happy to be able to supply the present need I am wondering how we will hold out until the boxes arrive next fall. We are hoping to be able to' move into the new Scudder Memorial this year and my ambition is to have two sheets for all our beds. At present we can only supply two to the women, and the men must be content with one.' But, of course, our new building will he so much finer and we would like to have our equipment correspond to the building. The boxes were a real treat this year, so many lovely things and just what we needed. We thank you for all the time and work you put upon them; but we do so appreciate it all at this end of the line. The satisfaction and delight it affords the Missionaries to have these articles at hand to distribute is very apparent.” Another writes that she “has her almirahs so nicely filled that it is a pleasure to peek in and see all the lovely things with which to make others happy. Now to tell you how some of the things were used! Of course, there have been the usual number of babies, and all have had a blanket and a slip. Two of our women had their babies arrive in the middle of the monsoon, not a heavy one, but so raw and damp. The babies were cosy and comfy with their blankets, but the first poor woman said to me ‘Ammah, my legs are so cold, have you a flannel petticoat.’ I hadn’t—and wished for one hard. Then my brain worked, and after it my fingers, and behold, a lovely petticoat out of three baby blankets, so warm and full, and how that cold woman enjoyed it! Of course, after one had had a flannel petticoat the second had to have one too. Now that the sun is shining, and no more rain, they don’t ask for the petticoats, but the babies are still getting their blankets. I thought you would like to know how they can serve two purposes or more. “We had six Christmas treats this year. First, at our Colony Village, then two more in other villages, and one in a new caste village where five or six families had become Christians, and we have started a school. In each of these, petticoats were given to needy women— towels, dolls, workbags and pencils were eagerly received. Those music boxes were such a delight, and also the horns to the small children. I saw many big ones borrowing them, too, and the air resounded with the sounds each produced. I suppose the two days before Christmas, when we had five Christmas treats, saw more joy in the hearts of 'those poor men, women and children than all the 363 other days of the year. But I must tell you of our tree here, in our bungalow on Christmas afternoon for our Christian children. We had fifty chil­ dren and over 150 adults, and everyone got a present! The men got pencils and pads and rulers; each woman a wash cloth and two papers of safety pins and a crochet hook! And the boys got balls, pencils, horns, music boxes and crayons. The big girls each had one of the mirrors which came in the box. Some had pretty strings of beads, some skipping ropes. Of course, some had dolls and some toys. Everybody was so happy. We found the children just aching to blow horns and wind up the music boxes, so my husband sug­ gested we give them all two minutes .to make all the noise they wanted! And bedlam ensued, I assure you! We had to stop it sharp in the two minutes or our heads would have suffered. As they all dispersed of course they gave a cheer for us—then for the pastor; and then the pastor said, ‘now three cheers for the American ladies who send us so many nice things,’ and the air rang with the hearty hurrah and clapping of hands; we can hardly tell you and the women who make the boxes possible, what joy they give to so many of us out here. The joy of giving out is equal.to the joy of receiving, I feel sure. Just a line to thank you for the cards and picture rolls. The pic­ ture cards are always in demand for Sunday School attendance, and I was delighted to receive the new picture rolls. I have been taking out suitable pictures from the rolls and pasting them on cloth, so they keep better. The Bible Women use them at the daily morning pray­ ers at the hospitals. The new ones were most timely. The pictures that are not needed for this week I give to the chapels or to some family which has given up idols to put on the walls in their homes. Probably no gift has a more beautiful mission than the picture roll. What a privilege to put into the place where an idol once stood a picture of the living Christ.” It is very gratifying to present a field of work so great and so varied that all ages can find in it something to do. And we deeply appreciate the work of the Home Department, Women’s Societies, Church Leagues for Service, Mission Bands, and to all who have helped make the work of another year possible. Prom each comes the one testimony of joy in the service done in our Master’s name. Let us enter into the new year of service with increased faith. Let us have faith in each other and faith in God; such faith as will bum its way through any darkness and make our hearts ready and our feet swift for the service of our King. “To honor God, to benefit mankind, To serve with lowly gifts the lowly needs Of the poor race for whom the God Man died, And do it all for Love—oh, this is great! And he who does this will achieve a name Not only great, but good.”

THE BABY BOLL Although our enrollment has been much smaller than usual this year, only 419, it is a peculiar pleasure to include in this number the first missionary twins, Virginia and Barbara Bilkert, born in Basrah, Arabia, the youngest of our Mission Fields. To the treasury of the Woman’s Board of Foreign Missions $475.73 has been sent from the Baby Roll. It is the hope of the Secretary that the new leaflet by Miss Mary E. Talmage—a brief history of “the Pity Little Children Home”—will enlist the co-opera­ tion of many more societies in these dear little ones, remembering that when Our Master was on the earth He took the little children in His arms and blessed them. “When He cometh to make up His jewels” may there _ be many from China and India because of this work, which must be very dear to the heart of our Blessed Lord. Will not all the mothers in our churches help to bring more of these little ones into His fold? . Caroline R aven M acL ea n, ______Secretary. LIFE AND MEMORIAL MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE At the close of another twelvemonth we find the number of Life ’ Memberships has increased by twenty, over our last year’s report, making a total of sixty-one. It is a joy to your committee to report this increase, but our joy can in no way equal the joy of the faithful workers in our Girls’ High School in Amoy, where the Life Member­ ship gifts, $1,525.00, have done much to aid in carrying on a work which far outgrows the provision which the Board is able to make for it. Your Chairman would recommend that at beginning of each year the Auxiliary Presidents inform themselves and their members as to which Station and what work the gifts are to be sent, so that there may be interested and intelligent knowledge in the minds of those desiring to bestow the honor of a Life Membership on a co­ worker; surely, the gift will mean vastly more if one can “watch the money work,” and at the same time heed Paul’s injunction, “pray without ceasing.” During 1926-1927 our gifts will help sup­ port the work of the faithful “Bible Women” in India, who go in and out of the homes where others may not enter—talking and read­ ing the Scriptures to the women who so eagerly listen. We trust Life Memberships may have a large part in this worthwhile endeavor during the coming year. “In the morning, sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand.” The names of six followers of the “Great Physician,” whose work on earth has ended, has been placed on thei Memorial Membership Roll—thus their memories will live, through the touch of healing to bodies and souls in the ancient land of China—China which has so long struggled in darkness and superstition. Would that our Medical Work could be greatly enlarged and strengthened! Did not Christ heal first the bodies, then the souls of those with whom he came in contact? A daline W. S tillw ell, Chairman. The Fifty-second Anniversary The first full year of the second half century of the Woman’s Board of Foreign Missions has ended, and the many women who gathered in response to the cordial invitation of the Church at Flush­ ing, N. Y., for the. Anniversary meeting on Tuesday, May 25, 1&26, to hear of the progress of their work in Asia, united with the Board in giving thanks to God for blessing the efforts of the loyal women of the Church, enabling their representatives to carry on. Very fitting, on a day of dazzling sunshine and brilliant blue sky, was the opening hymn, “Hail to the Brightness of Zion’s Glad Morn­ ing,” and that note of JOY was called the keynote of the day by the presiding officer, Mrs. DeWitt Knox. The devotional service was held by Kev. T. H. Mackenzie, D.D., pastor of the church, and Mrs. H. H. Wright, President of the Missionary Society, welcomed the guests to the church that had been built in faith, that, “If we undertake this work for God, He will help us.” Mrs. Wright expressed in words the warm welcome that the visitors had experienced from the moment of their arrival in Flushing. Mrs. DeWitt Knox responded to the friendly greeting, and then referred to several items connected with the Board personnel and work. During the year there have been called to the higher service from Board membership, Mrs. David B. Van Houten and Mrs. J. J. Jane­ way, an Honorary Vice-President; from the missionary force, Miss Cynthia Borgman, Amoy Mission, barely two years on the field, and Mrs. John Scudder, Arcot Mission, a veteran of sixty-four years’ service; and Miss Ruth Mildred Lang, Field Secretary for Young Women’s Work. The Board has accepted with very great reluctance the resignation of Miss Katharine Van Nest as Treasurer, to which office she has devoted ten years of loving, consecrated service. Miss Anna F. Bacon has been elected Treasurer, and Miss Elizabeth R. Van Brunt Candidate Secretary, succeeding Mrs. E. F. Romig, who has filled that office very faithfully. Mrs. Knox urged all to lift Christ up as never before, by love, by prayer, by gifts. It was a pleasure to look into the faces of a number of mission­ aries and to hear messages from them. Mrs. J. W. Conklin, an honored member of the Board as well as an Associate Missionary, first went to India 45 years ago; she believes that missionaries were never so much needed in India as now. Miss Clara Coburn, head of the Girls’ Board­ ing School, Madanapalle, spoke of her girls, one of whom wished to come with her to America, “where there are so many friends who all love God.” Mrs. Mason Olcott told of a little jungle girl who re­ mained in school only long enough to learn two hymns, two prayers and seven Bible verses. Sometime after workers visited the remote village where she lived and found that she had taught the village chil­ dren everything she had learned. Mrs. Olcott said that her feeling was expressed by Rev. Stanley Jones, who first went to India out of pity, and returned out of respect. Miss Ruth Scudder, who has been connected' with the Sherman Memorial High School, Chittoor, con- trasted the Indian woman searching something with a little flickering lamp—typical of the life of the women—with the girls going out from the High School, their bright lamps beacon lights in hospital, schools, villages. Miss Alice Smallegan, just arrived in America, has had charge of the Women’s Industrial Home at Palmaner and brought greetings from her pupils. Dr. Sarah L. Hosmon, Arabian Mission, spoke of the towns in Arabia, walled against the Gospel, which are opening and inviting the doctor to enter, and the walled hearts which can be broken into by personal friendship; she asked that prayers for Arabia be continued. The hymn that followed was peculiarly ap­ propriate : “Lift up your heads, Ye gates of brass, Ye bars of iron, yield.” Miss Elisabeth W. Conklin told of the women of India as they are taking their place in the life of the nation. Last year a woman was chosen President of the National Council. In the Arcot Mission there is the.Woman’s Gospel Extension Society, in which all women are on the same basis, without classs or caste distinction. The tempta­ tions in conducting Christian work are those which Christ overcame: I. To make all stones into bread, devoting the time to the material help which is so much needed. 2. To rely on organization, on the backing of a Christian Government and a strong army. 3. To make religious compromises. The truth in other religions must be recog­ nized, but where to meet and where to diverge, is the question. There is a universal search for God in India. Their systems of philosophy do not meet a real need. It is Christ, the personal Saviour, that India longs for. ‘ , Mrs. L. J. Shafer, Japan Mission, gave a graphic picture of the present plant of Ferris Seminary. “Nowhere have I seen buildings for cattle equalled by those.” Why do the girls continue to attend? Let them answer—“Where shall we go to hear about Christ?” “What we have in Ferris is the living water.” , The offering for the rebuilding of Ferris Seminary was taken, and dedicated in a prayer by Eev. M. E. Flipse. The last address in the morning session was by Miss Ruth K. Y. Cheng, a graduate of Yenching College, Peking, on “Women of China, Without Christianity, With Christianity.” The woman of yes­ terday was uneducated in the sense of school education, her feet were bound as well as her mind. The women and girls of today are de­ manding educational and social privileges. It is due to Christianity that non-Christians share in these privileges. ' The women of today are working for the betterment of society and the nation, along patrir otic and Christian lines, refusing to accept privileges without taking responsibility. Rev. and Mrs. J. W. L. Hofmeyr, Secretaries of Dutch Re­ formed Missionary Boards of South Africa, were introduced and told of their 350 congregations supporting 400 missionaries in Central and South Africa by annual contributions of $400,000. T

The Fifty-second Anniversary - 85

After the benediction was pronounced by Rev. J. B. Hunter, a most generous luncheon was enjoyed, and opportunity given to greet friends, always one of the pleasures of the Anniversary. ■ The afternoon session was opened with a hymn and prayer offered by Rev. Robert K. Wick. The Treasurer’s Statement was given by Miss Anna F. Bacon, who reported payments during the year from the Jubilee Fund, and then the receipts for the year from all sources—$183,858.08—which has made it possible for the Board to meet its obligations. The appro-. priations have been figured down to the irreducible minimum to main­ tain the present work. Shall the aim be only to maintain, or to ad­ vance as the Master leads? Miss Evelyn Zwemer, Field Secretary for Young Women’s Work, asked for sympathetic co-operation from the women of the Church in the two-fold program of the department—to give the young women a knowledge of Christ and His Kingdom; to study the efforts on mission fields to hasten the coming of that Kingdom. It was a privilege to have at the Anniversary Miss Eleanor Mac- Dougall, President of the Woman’s Union Christian College, Madras, in which the Woman’s Board has a share. Miss MacDougall spoke in appreciation of the service rendered to the College by members of the Arcot Mission—Miss Henrietta Drury, Miss Charlotte C. Wyckoff, Miss A. B. Van Doren. “That there may never be lacking a supply of persons duly qualified to serve God in Church and State,” may be said to be the purpose of the College. The coming democracy of India will need Christian principles and ideals, and the College is preparing such citizens. Consciously or unconsciously, India looks to the Church for leadership, and the College is training Christian leaders. Rev. Luman J. Shafer, Principal of Ferris Seminary, Yokohama, as a mouthpiece for the girls brought these messages—You have given us Joy. You have given us Hope. You have given us a Knowledge of Home, for which there is no word in the Japanese language. You have given us an understanding of Love. When will you help us to our physical plant? And he will take back the message, When, I cannot say, but you are going to get it. Mrs. Knox asked each one not only to give, but to be a collector for the new Ferris. (To help build the pathway of God, thinking of the girls of Japan who will walk up that pathway.) ' Rev. D. E. Lyon offered the prayer dedicating the gifts of the afternoon. Hearty thanks of all present to those who had contributed to make the day one of joy and inspiration, were voiced by. Mrs. J. G. Fagg, and adopted by a rising vote—to the minister and members of the Flushing Church, who had received their guests with true hospi­ tality, to those who gave of their musical talent, the organist and soloists, Mrs. Porteous and Mrs. Schom, to those who had provided the bountiful luncheon, and to the speakers. The Corresponding Secretary of the Board, Miss Eliza P. Cobb, who has been absent seven months visiting India, Arabia, Palestine and Egypt, brought loving greetings to the women of the Reformed Church from various groups in India—groups of Christian women, of children in the schools, from the Arcot Assembly in which women, be­ cause of the education received in Mission schools are able to stand up and express their point of view clearly; from the Women’s Evan­ gelistic Board; from congregations and from Hindu women. Also from the group of Christian women in Busrah who generously sent a gift last year to the Jubilee Fund, and from individual women in •> Arabia, who, loving Christ in their hearts, sent thanks for the message of His love. Miss Cobb reported that she had pledged to them, for the women of the Church, that support of the efforts to bring their people and lands to Christ would be continued, by way of the throne of God and by gifts of increasing bounty. Mrs. Katherine Eddy made the closing address, dealing with some reasons why the note of joy that had, sounded through the day is not ringing as one would wish through America, and the world. Power is being lost because of friction. Friction in spiritual life, in­ difference to others—to the foreigner in the land, the foreign student who longs for friendliness, but has no opportunity to touch the heart of America. Friction caused by race prejudice. Japan, deeply touched by the generous sympathy shown after the earthquake, was cut to the quick by the Exclusion Clause passed by Congress a few months later —an act based on race prejudice. They are still patiently waiting for justice. At the foundation of all such friction is lack of love of God. The day has come when His followers must take time, be still, and know that He is God. After singing “Jesus Shall Beign,” the benediction was pro­ nounced by Dr. Wm. T. Chamberlain. With the note of joy another thought ran through the messages of the day, suggested by several of the speakers—that of the lifted Christ. “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.” It is His program for the extension of His Kingdom. Are His followers, women of the Reformed Church, willing to enter more fully into His labors, length­ ening cords and strengthening stakes, that He may be lifted up, ex­ alted among the nations? • Sarah A.
