NOTICE IN REFERENCE TO BEQUESTS.

As the kind intentions of some of the deceased friends of the Society have been rcnderep abortive for want of correct knowledge of the law, the Committee call special attention to the following directions:—

R e q u i s i t e s s o b V a l i d i t y o p W i l l . —It should ba remembered in the first place that (a) A will must be in writing, and signed at the foot or end thereof by the Testator or by some other person in his presence and by hi« direction; (6) Such signature must be made or acknowledged by the Testator in the presence of two Witnesses, who must be present at the same time, and (c) Such Witnesses must attest and subscribe the will in the presence o f the Testator.

Gifts by W ol to 0habitable Ixstitutioits.— Gifts by will to the Baptist Missionary Society and other Charitable Institutions were formerly subject to restrictions stated in the “ Notice in Reference to Bequests” contained in previous reports. But the effect of the Mortmain and Charitable Uses Act, 1891 (54 and 55 Viet. c. 73), Secs. 3 and 5 and 9, is that no gift in favour of a Charitable Institution, made by the will of a Testator dying after August 5th, 1891, can be void by reason of the subject matter of the gift beiug land or an interest in land. The distinction formerly drawn between personal property which is an interest in land (that is, in any way secured upon or payable out of land) and pure personalty is abolished, and even land may now be lawfully given by will to a Charitable Institution. But lands so given must be sold within one year from the Testator’s death, or such extended period as may be determined by the Court or the Charity Commissioners, and if not sold within such period it will vest in the official Trustee of Charity Lands, and the Charity Commissioners will order it to be sold, and the net proceeds of sale to be paid to the official Trustees of Charity Funds in trust for the Charity in favour of whioh the land has been given (8ec. 6).

1 .—B e q u e s t o f a it O e d i k a b y P e c u n i a r y L e g a c y t o t h e S o c i e t y .—I n this case there is no need for the provision formerly inserted in wills directing the legacy to be paid exclusively out of such parts of the Testator’s estate an might lawfully be disposed of for charitable purposes. The bequest may be in the following form

“ I give to the Treasurer or Treasurers for the time being of the Baptist Missionary Society the sum of £ , free of duty, for the general purposes of the said Society ” (or, if so desired, “ for the Translation Fund of the said Society,” or “ for the School Fond of the said Society

2.—Bequest to the Society o f a. Pecuhiaey Legacy made Payable out of the Pboceeds o f Sale awd the Cohveosioit o f thb Testatob’s R eal asd Peusow al Estate, o b O f x Shaeb of such Pbocebds.— Very frequently a Testator gives his real and personal estate or his residuary estate to Trustees on trust to sell, and out of the proceeds of sale to pay the legacies previously bequeathed, which may include a legacy to the Society. And a Testator may now bequeath a share of such proceeds to the Society. In these cases, although perhaps not essential, it is considered prudent, at all events until the interpretation of the above* mentioned Act has been settled by judicial decision, to add to the gift of the pecuniary legacy or share to the Society the following direction

“ And I direct that in case all the real and leasehold bstats comprised in the devise and bequest in trust for sale herein contained shall not be sold within one. year from my de ath then the said legacy (or share) herein bequeathed to the said Treasurer or Treasurers for the time being of the Baptist Missionary Society, and the duty thereon shall be paid out of the proceeds of sale and conversion of my personal estate and the proceeds of Bale of such of my real and leasehold estate aB shall be sold within one year after my deith in priority to all other legacies tor shares) payable thereout.” 1896.] ONE HUNDKED AND FOURTH HEPOET. •v

3 .—G i f t b y W i l l o f L a n d to the Society. —If land or a house of any tenure or a free lrold or leasehold ground-rent is intended to be given to the Society, it should be given to a Trustee or Trustees on trust to sell within one year after the Testator’s death if practicable, and to receive the net purchase money and pay it to the Treasurer or Treasurers for the time being of the Society. The Testator will probably desire that the Succession Duty on the gift and also the cost of any application which may be necessary to extend the period of one year within which the sale must be made under the above-mentioned Act shall be paid out of his general estate. A gift by will of freehold land or a freehold house or a freehold ground-rent f o r the benefit of the Society may be made in the following form :—

“ I give unto and to the use of (names of Trustees), their heirs and assigns, my freehold (description of land or house or ground-rent) upon trust to sell the same if practicable within one year from my death, and to receive the proceeds of sale thereof and thereout, and out of the rents and profits until sale to pay the expenses of such sale and all necessary outgoings, and to pay the residue of such proceeds and rents and profits to the Treasurer or Treasurers for the time being of the Baptist Missionary Society for the general purposes of the said Society. And I direct that the Succession Duty payable in respect of the above gift and also the costs of any application to extend the period for sale under the Mortmain and Charitable Uses Act, 1891, shall be paid out of my general estate.”

A gift by will of leasehold land or a leasehold house or a leasehold ground-rent for the benefit of the Society may be made in the following form :—

“ I give to (names of Trustees), their executors, administrators, and assigns, my leasehold (description of land or house or ground-rent) upon trust to sell the same if practicable within one year from my death, and tc receive the proceeds of sale thereof and thereout, and out of the rents and profits until sale to pay the expenses of such sale and the rent reserved by the lease under which the same premises are held and all other necessary outgoings, and to pay the residue of such proceeds and rents and profits to the Treasurer or Treasurers for the time being of the Baptist Missionary Society for the general purposes of the said Society. And I direct that the Succession Duty payable in respect of the above gift and also the costs of any application to extend the period for sale under the Mortmain and Charitable Uses Act, 1891, shall be paid out of my general estate.” v i ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT.

METHODS FOR FREQUENT AND REGULAR GIVING.

T he following are some of the methods now in operation, with a detailed description :— THE ENVELOPE SYSTEM.

A Missionary Treasurer and Secretary having been appointed, the chapel is divided^ into sections, more or less according to size. Each section is placed under the super­ intendence of a collector, chosen, if possible, from those sitting in the section itself. The collectors are provided with books, in which are entered the numbers of the pews, the name and address of each seat-holder and of other attendants, according to their respective divisions. These books also contain columns ruled for each month in the year. The contributions are collected by means of small envelopes. Monthly giving being desired, these envelopes are placed in the pews on a certain Sunday in each month. Should there be any individuals who prefer to give less frequently, their envelopes are supplied at the appropriate intervals. The contributors, having enclosed their subscriptions, deposit their envelopes in the weekly offering boxes (should any be in use) or return them to the collector. Once or twice a month, as may be thought well, the Secretary meets the collectors at the close of a week-evening service, handing over the envelopes unopened for them to enter the sums they contain in their books. The money may be paid in by the collectors monthly or quarterly, their books being initialed whenever payments are made. The Treasurer remits to the Mission House four times in the year. In some instances receipts are given month by month to every subscriber, these being enclosed in the new envelopes ; in others receipts are given once a quarter, with a reminder of arrears, should there be any; whilst in other cases receipts are deemed unnecessary. In adopting this method the distribution of a circular, signed by the pastor and officers, explaining and commending it has been found of great service. With these circulars slips are issued, upon which subscribers may enter the sum they propose to give, and state how frequently—whether monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or annually —they would prefer to give it.

THE DISTRICT METHOD. This method divides the congregations, not into sections according to the seats occu­ pied in the chapel, but into districts according to residence. One collector or, as may be preferred, two collectors are appointed to each district. After a circular, signed by the pastor and officers, has been distributed, and a statement has been made from the pulpit, a general canvass is made to secure promises of help; the collectors then call for the contributions monthly, or less frequently, as the subscribers may choose. If thought desirable, the small cash envelopes may be also used in working this plan. At least once in three months the collectors should hand over their money to the secretary, so that as often it may be forwarded to the Mission House. If this scheme, or the one already described, is to prove successful, the smaller sums as well as the larger should be sought. To those who may resolve to attempt this method of securing frequent and regular giving books will be forwarded on application to the Secretaries of the- Society. 1896.] ONE HUNDRED AND FOUBTH REPORT. xiii

Another plan to which attention may be called consists in the general circulation of

MISSIONARY BOXES. The plan adopted by some churches is as follows: — 1. The boxes are definitely family boxea, and not intended to supersede or interfere with any existing annual subscriptions or any public collections at the chapel. 2. The boxes are numbered consecutively, and have on one side a short address to stimulate missionary zeal, and the suggestion that the boxes should, be placed on the breakfast table every Lord's-day morning to receive the family offerings for the work of G-od among the heathen (in accordance with 1 Cor. xvi. 2). This is a cardinal feature of the plan. 3. The boxes are called for quarterly at the houses of those who have taken them (unless they prefer to bring them to the chapel) by collectors appointed for that purpose, as soon after each quarter as possible, who give receipts for the amounts received. 4. The collectors hand in the total amount received from the boxes in their districts to the Mission-box Secretary, who initials their receipt-book counterfoils, and gives out the names of any new families to be called upon with the view of getting more boxes taken. Boxes can be forwarded from the Mission House for this us,e in Christian families.

THE PENNY-A-WEEK SYSTEM. As the first step in the adoption of this, as of every other method, let the church appoint its own Missionary Secretary. Then let this officer select as many collectors as may be required to collect the pennies from an aggregate of eleven—not more than eleven—subscribers, which sum, with the penny of the collector, will amount to a shilling. These pennies might be obtained at the chapel services or at the home. They should be paid in monthly to the secretary, who should remit quarterly to Furaival Street. This method is equally adapted for the gathering in of larger weekly sums than a penny. The apparatus for putting this plan into operation will be readily supplied from the Mission House. This system is commended as being especially suited to Christian Endeavour Societies.

A PRAYER UNION has recently been instituted, of which full particulars may be obtained. As the circumstances of churches vary, it is necessary to be prepared with a variety of methods. It is hoped that in one or other of the above, every church will find a plan of regular and frequent giving suited to its own particular requirement. xiv ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. [1896.

6. The Meeting closed with the Doxology and Benediction.

THE ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT.

W ith feelings of devout thankfulness the Committee report that the work of the past year has been marked by signal blessing and success. The figures given show a large number of conversions, a considerable increase in the number of children attending Day and Sunday schools, and the establishment of numerous societies of Christian Endeavour. New fields of work have been opened up in the “ Regions beyond,” and fields long occupied by the Society have been handed over to the care and support of the native Christian churches, the members having willingly undertaken this responsibility. The native churches in this and many other ways exhibit a cheering growth, not only in spirituality and force, but in independence and aggressive activity. True it is that the progress of the Kingdom of G-od on the earth cannot be accurately summed up in mere figures, or set forth in printed paragraphs. “ The Kingdom of God cometh not with observation,” in part only can it be seen, in part it must be felt. Some of its indications are clear and obvious, others are but promises and prophecies, perceived only by the careful watcher, and which can only be interpreted by faith and spiritual insight. Tabulated statistics at the best can never represent the whole o f the results; yet having regard to the severe cost so often involved in a Christian profession and practice in the midst of heathen communities, the number of converts already gained, as set forth in figures, cannot but be stimulating to faith. Everywhere the call— loud and urgent— is for larger reinforcements. There is scarcely a field where the converts are not multiplying and inquirers increasing. 4 ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. [1896.

In some parts the people are breaking away in numbers from their debasing idolatries, and turning to the liviDg God. In many directions the season of seed sowing is ushering in the time of hardest, and nothing seems in the way of a rapid conquest of the world for Christ but the coldness and indifference of many of the churches at home. To-day, as never before, the Lord of the harvest appears to be calling to His Church to be up and doing. “ There is a great shaking of the old religions. Men are looking this way and that for some new thing—some rest for the soul, some Messiah of light and hope ; altars to the UNKNOWN GOD smoke everywhere. What is needed is the Christian evangelist to take his stand in the wide ecumenical thoroughfare and cry: ‘ Whom ye ignorantly worship, HIM declare I unto you.’ ”

D. Brown, have been compelled to relinquish missionary work on the Congo; the former on account of the health of Mrs. Harrison; the latter owing to his inability to endure the African climate; and Mr. J. A. A. Fuller, of Bolobo, has resigned his connection with the Society. 1896.] ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. 5

GONE HOME.

During the past year many missionary veterans have been called home. Mrs. Buckley, of Cuttack, Orissa, entered into rest in April, 1895. She began her missionary life at Berhampur, Ganjam, in December, 1841. She was married to Dr. Buckley in 1844, and she removed with him to Cuttack in 1847, where she continued to labour until her death. While at Berhampur she had charge of rescued Meriah children, sent by the Government from the Khond Hills, and while in Cuttack she was Superintendent of the Female Orphanage. During and for some time after the Orissa famine of thirty years ago she had some five or six hundred female children to care for. Though her husband died in 1886, she continued to superintend the orphanage until the day of her death. To hundreds of poor orphan children she was more than a mother. All who have experienced her kindness— and they are many—know how willing she was at all times, often at great trouble and inconvenience, to render help to whomsoever she could. Her name will long be a household word in the Christian villages of Orissa. The Rev. Alexander McKenna, of Soory, passed away in September. He laboured in India for more than forty years, and was for some time en­ gaged in city mission work in Calcutta. In 1856 he was accepted for mission service by the Baptist Missionary Society, and continued in it until his death. At different times he was stationed at Serampore, Dinagepur, Chittagong,} Barisal, Dacca, and Soory. He was always a conscientious Christian worker. One of his most prominent characteristics was the kindliness of feeling which always led him to sympathise with his Bengali brethren and [sisters, to look rather upon their good points than upon the defects of their character, and to do all he could to promote their welfare. The Rev. D. P. Broadway, of Patna, Bankipore, died at MoDghyr, in October. He was born at Chunar, and in very early life he was engaged in Joy Narain’s College, Benares, as a teacher, where he attained remark­ 1896.J ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT 7 able success in imparting the elements of Sanskrit. While still a young man Mr. Broadway embraced scriptural views on the subject of baptism and became a member of the B.M.S. staff. As a missionary, .Mr. Broad­ way, during his long course, worked chiefly at Monghyr, Delhi, Agra, Patna, and Bankipore. Among soldiers and civilians at these various canton­ ments he was diligent in preaching in English and in visiting the sick in hospitals ; but it was in preaching in Urdu and Hindi, and in meeting the objections of Hindus and Mussulmans, that he did his most effective work. Possessing a singularly comprehensive knowledge of the vernacular, and a rare acquaintance with native modes of thought and feeling, com­ bined with a thoroughly evangelical faith, his power as a preacher was felt and confessed again and again. Having a considerable knowledge of valuable native medicines and great skill in administering them, and keep­ ing his door always open to all comers, he won in a conspicuous degree the affections of the people, especially at Patna City, where even Mohamme­ dans would sometimes embrace him in the public streets. Amidst great bodily weakness he nevertheless abounded in the work of the Lord, and at the large mela of Sonepur, although one of the oldest of the missionaries, he was for many years one of the most laborious workers. He rests from his labours and his works do follow him. Mrs. Cowen, widow of the Rev. G. Cowen, formerly of Trinidad, at a very advanced age, and Mrs. Grieffe, widow of the late Rev. J. E. Grieffe, formerly of Gya, have also died during the past year. In association with the Congo Mission, the names of Dr. Sidney Webb, and the Rev. Philip Davies, B.A., both of Wathen Station, Lower Congo River, cannot be forgotten— “ To live in hearts is not to die ” — and in the words of one of the Congo peoples : “ We cannot forget either Dr. Webb or Mr. Davies, for they only lived to do us good.” Well might one of their colleagues write : “ With whole-hearted devotion both these brethren gave themselves to the best interests of the Congo Mission, and they have left cherished memories in the love of the natives living in the Wathen district.” At home, two devoted and faithful missionary workers have been summoned to the higher service. Mrs. John Pinnock, wife of the Rev. John Pinnock, of Underhill Station, Lower Congo, while on furlough, was smitten down by typhoid fever, and passed away at Eastbourne, in Septem­ ber ; while Mrs. Collier, wife of the Rev. A. E. Collier, of Bankipore, was suddenly called home upon the very threshold of her missionary life, reach­ ing her father’s house in* Ipswich only a few hours before she passed in ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. [1896.

through the gates into the city—“ Absent from the body, she is present with the Lord.” ‘Of generous and attached friends of the mission who have passed from us 'during the past year should be recorded the names of Mr. Joseph Gould, of Bristol; Mr. Henry Keen, of Camden Town; Mr. T. Radford Hope, J.P., of Redhill; Dr. Gethin Davies, of Bangor Baptist College; Mr. J. M. Bell, of Crouch H ill; and the Revs. J. M. Stephens, B.A., and W. H. McMechan. By their removal to the Father’s House, “ Earth all the poorer seems, while heaven the richer grows.” From their vacant places comes the message to those who remain : “ Work while it is called to-day, for the night cometh. Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might.”

THE YOUNG MEN’S MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION.

The Committee are glad to report that the Rev. W. J. Price, of 'Bankipore, N.W.P., who has been compelled, by the sad condition of his wife’s health, to relinquish work in India, has consented to undertake the duties of secretary of the Young Men’s Missionary Association for a tenta­ tive term of twelve months, and he expects to take up his new post early in May. Mr. Price will work in conference with the Committee and officers of the parent society, and it is hoped that under the new regulations recently adopted with regard to the secretariat, the Young Men’s Association may be brought into closer union with the parent committee, and so be better able to carry on its valuable efforts amongst Sunday-schools, Societies of ■Christian Endeavour, Juvenile Auxiliaries, and the young people of our •churches and congregations throughout the Metropolitan district. The Committee are glad to bear testimony to the great benefits the Mission has derived from the labours of this association in past years, and they •confidently anticipate that, as the result of the acceptance by Mr. Price of the secretariat, the work of the association in the future will be greatly •enlarged, the numerous societies of Christian Endeavour presenting very promising openings for the development and extension of missionary interest and enthusiasm amongst the young. 1896.J ONE HUNDRED AND P0URTa REPORT. 9

COLONIAL MISSIONARY SOCIETIES.

As the Committee have not received, up to the date of going to press* the necessary returns from the Colonial Missionary Societies, they are com­ pelled to content themselves with recording the names and officers of the six Colonial Societies at present engaged in Mission work in Eastern Bengal, viz. :—

The N ew South W ales M issionary Society, in the South Tipperah District : Treasurer, Mr. W . H. Burton ; Secretary, Rev. F. Hibberd.

The V ictorian M issionary Society, in the Maimensing District : Treasurer, Mr. D. C. Rees, Prahran, Melbourne ; Secretary, Rev. A. W» Webb, Geelong.

The South A ustralian M issionary Society, in the Furreedpore and Pubna Districts : Secretary, Rev. R. McCullough, Parkside.

The Queensland M issionary Society, in the Noakhali District : Treasurer, Mr. W. R. Smith ; Secretary, Rev. A. G. Weller, Toowong.

The N ew Z ealand M issionary Society, in the North Tipperah District : Treasurer, Mr. S. G.JÆartin, Wellington ; Secretary, Rev. H. H. Driver, Dunedin.

The Tasmanian M issionary Society (in connection with the South Australian Mission), in the Furreedpore and Pubna Districts : Treasurer, Mr. D. Smart, Perth ; Secretary, Miss Dowling, Perth. In the absence of definite figures, the Colonial Receipts and Expenditure for the past year are left out of the Parent Society’s Cash Statement, as it evidently would not be just to the Colonial churches to print only partial returns and imperfect statistics. The Committee rejoice in the growing zeal and liberality of the Colonial churches, and that, notwithstanding a commercial crisis of almost unex­ ampled magnitude and severity, the contributions have not only been maintained, but in some cases considerably increased. The Committee trust that a still larger success may follow the labours of devoted missionaries in the various districts occupied by the Colonial Churches in Eastern Bengal. 10 ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT, [1896.

Reviewing the present condition of India, after a long life of service as a Christian missionary in that land, Dr. Scott writes :—

“ In my judgment there never was a time in the history of missions in India when the outlook was so favourable as at the present moment. There are tokens of good on every hand. The watchman, as in olden times, cries across these densely peopled plains * the morning cometh.’ “ Caste is breaking down.—There are a thousand evidences of that on every hand. It is seen in the way people eat and drink, dress and work, and ‘ go out and come in.’ It is seen in the way people travel; it is seen in the schools, on the crowded trains, on steamships, in the mills. Schools, rail-roads, mills, water-works, competition, missionaries, and a hundred and one other influences are doing it slowly, but surely. “ The Poor are coming up—up out of the degradation in which they have lived for ages ; up out of the dark into the light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The coming man in India is the converted sweeper. Already there is the sound of a going in the mulberry trees. “ The People are "broadening out.—Even the National Congress, the Sooial Congress, the newspapers, the patronage of Western science, the study of law, medicine, and engineering indicate that. As the people travel more, read more, and think more, 1896.] ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. 11 they see further and concede more, and are more liberal and less prejudiced and bigoted. “ Christ is honoured more.—That is a sure sign. There are many now among all classes who look upon Him with favour. Brahmos, Brahmins, Mohammedans often «peak highly of the Founder of Christianity. As Buddha was incorporated, into the Pantheon as the ninth incarnation of Vishnu, so they are willing that Christ should be received as the eleventh. “ Christian Missions are succeeding.—It is folly to say they are not. And there never was a time in the history of India—or, for that matter, of any country—when they were succeeding so well and rapidly as now. The workers were never so numerous, the schools never so efficient and Christian, the methods never so good, the fraternity and unity never so strong, the converts never so numerous, the Church never so spirtual as now. “ The native Church is taking hold.—In many places it is rapidly becoming self- supporting in spite of the exceeding poverty of the people. The people are beginning to appreciate their own pastors. Strong men are being raised up. Soon the mind of India will be in the native Church. This is a devout, praying, thinking, serious people, which is destined to lead the world in religion. “ All feel it is worth the effort.—Here are 282,000,000 of people, and the finest people of the world. All they need is the Gospel of Jesus Christ; and it is being given to them on every side. • Has it ever failed anywhere 1 Can it, then, fail here ? 1 have never yet met the missionary who labours as though he thought it would.”

And a perusal of the reports of our missionaries in India for the past year will confirm this striking testimony.

THE WORK OF THE PAST YEAR.

The Rev. George Kerry, of Calcutta, the Indian Financial Secretary of the Society, reporting on the work of the year, writes :—

“ The reports of the work in India are a faithful record of work done patiently and steadily in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in obedience to His command to preach His Gospel to the nations, and to teach those who believe to observe whatsoever He has commanded. “ Vernacular preaching in towns and villages, as in all preceding years, has the first place in our Mission. Then there is the persistent endeavour to provide the most accurate translation of the Scriptures in the Bengali and Oriya languages, at the same time making the rendering as simple and easily intelligible as possible- Dr. Rouse and Mr. Bailey, with their Christian assistants, have long been labouring in this direction, and do something further to supply Christian literature for the people. Again, there is the work of training chosen men for Christian duty as pastors, evangelists, and school teachers, carried on at the three training institutions at Serampore, Cuttack, and Delhi. Specially qualified men are giving themselves largely to efforts among the educated Hindus and Mohammedan^, who can be reached through the English language as well as the vernacular. Mr. Jordan and Mr. Anderson in Calcutta, Mr. Wright Hay at Dacca, and Mr. Carey at Barisal, give special attention to this department of labour. Whilst the Mission does little in the way of higher 12 ONE HUNDRED AND FuURTH REPORT. [ 1 896.

secular education for the non-Christian natives, it has of late years ■widely extended its efforts for the elementary education of the children of converts, chiefly by means o f Christian day-schools. There are also boys’ boarding-schools at Serampore, Bishtopore, Cuttack, Bankipur, and Delhi. “ During the past few years there has also been a remarkable increase of native Sunday-schools, and these might be still further promoted if there were more persons able and willing to help in this work. The importance of gaining the hearts of the children for Christ is much felt by missionaries everywhere, and they are filled with wonder and thanksgiving to God for His gracious power working so manifestly in these days, so that Hindu children are willing, and in some cases even eager, to attend Sunday-schools, where the story of Jesus and His love is told simply and illustrated by pictures, and is further stamped on the memory by the singing of hymns.”

During the past year there have been 655 additions to the native Christian Church. In order to estimate thetrue value of these additions it should be remembered that they consist not of infants, nor of the unintelligent, nor of merely nominal professors of Chris­ tianity. In every case the missionaries have anxiously sought to ascertain the presence of a work of grace in the individual heart. Each convert can tell of the workings of the Divine Spirit leading, by prayerful steps, to a full and open confession of repentance towards God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. It is surely well that friends of the Society at home should clearly apprehend this fact.

YERNACULAR PREACHING.

Without question, preaching the Gospel should be deemed the p r im a r y work of the Christian missionary. The commission of our L o r d to

His Apostles was “ to p r e a c h the Gospel to every creature.” Other forms of missionary toil, while undoubtedly auxiliary, are more or less subordinate. Preaching not only to the crowd in the thronging Mêlas, but in quiet conversation with the shopkeeper in his leisure moments, with the boatman by the River Ghat, the restless, unsatisfied pilgrim in the Temple Court, the ryot in the field or by the roadside, the traveller by the highways and hedges, in the city bazaar and in the village rest-house, in public conveyances and private houses—contact with the individual is of the first importance— and as in times past so to-day, thiB widespread preaching of the Gospel has been everywhere followed by Divine success. Mr. Romanath Ray Chowdhry, of Calcutta, calls special attention to 1896.] ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. lifc

the many indirect indications of the spread and influence of the Gospelt message upon the people. He writes :—

“ Without doubt, the preaching of the blessed G-ospel of the Grace of God is very perceptibly making its progress among the people, and the Spirit of the Lord ia. manifestly doing His work in their hearts to the overthrow of the kingdom of Satan in this land. Again, if the preacher of the Gospel visit the houses of the people, he will, to his great surprise, find in many of them, not only a copy of Christian scrip­ ture lying on the table, but he will also find several scripture pictures, including- that of Christ, hanging on the wall of the sitting or reception room. Thus the- pictures of the Hindu gods and goddesses are giving way to the pictures of the Bible, and to that of Christ Himself, in proof of the former being rejected and cast to moles and bats in a very short time. But the people do not keep all these pictures as a mere show, the preacher will certainly be able to know, if he converse but for a short time with the master of the house on Christianity. In this way I came to. know a gentleman who is not only a great admirer of Jesus Christ, but he is truly a, believer in Him. This gentleman is by profession a physician. He received a good deal of Biblical education from a European gentleman of the same profession. In a. way of testimony he himself observed to me that he reads the Word of God every day, offers his prayers, and finds unspeakable peace in Christ throughout the day.. He has not yet been baptized because he has not courage enough to dissolve his- connection with his many relatives. The same remark was made by a Mohammedan, who is continually attending our preaching at Wellington Square. This sort of' people is continually increasing, and the time for them to enter into the Church is. drawing nigh day by day. “ There is no agency so powerful in my judgment and experience,” writes Mr. Chowdhry, ‘‘ as preaching the Gospel. Wherever the Word is faithfully preached results follow most surely. “ In preaching the Gospel to the people in distant villages the preachers are also- greatly encouraged. The villagers do not hate the preachers as they used to do. They gladly give to them a comfortable place to remain as long as they wish, and sometimes entertain them with food, if they like to take it. As for me, whenever I go to the villages, the villagers not only give me a room in their house, but they feedi me as long as I remain with them. Thus I preach the Gospel to the villagers with­ out any cost to the Missionary Society. This simply shows how easy it would have- been for me to preach the Gospel without pay, had I been unmarried. In the: villages the people themselves come to the preacher, sit around him, and ask him. various questions about Christ and Him crucified. But among these people, if there be some who had been brought up in a Christian mission school, they will certainly come to the preacher and help him in preaching Christianity to the people. The= preacher, lest he become a burden to him in whose house he remains, is, by turn,, invited by other people. These are the wonderful changes which the preaching of the Gospel has wrought among the people of this country. Does not all this plainly show that the people of this country are not far from the Kingdom of Heaven, but they are nearer to it, and the time for them to enter into it is at hand 1 ”

From Monghyr, the Rev. Benjamin Evans sends an incident exhibiting^ the persecution following on a desire to publicly confess Christ. H& writes :—

“ Of the difficulties the people have to overcome to make an open profession of“ 14 ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. [1896.

Christ as their Saviour, we have just had another illustration: A young man connected with one of the temples in Monghyr had for some time been a constant attendant at one of our preaching places, as well as a regular attendant at our Mon­ day afternoon prayer-meeting; he had expressed a desire to be baptized and arrange­ ments were made for his baptism. It became known ; the result was that he was locked up and safely guarded in the temple, and is so still—the only communication we have had was a slip of paper in which he told us of his sad condition, but he •said, ‘ My faith is still firm in Jesus ; He is near, and He will help me.’ ”

The Rev. J. Stubbs, of Patna City, pictures some of the difficulties incidental to vernacular preaching in the following report :—

il From Gulzarbagh, as a centre, I have preached regularly both morning and -evening, during the greater part of the year, at the following preaching-places : Dargah, Alamganj, Qazibagh, Kamalganj, Tulsimandi, Sadipur, Pachchhim Darwaze, Mogulpura, Khojah Kalan, SakrigaK, the Chauk, Begumpur, and Marufganj. In some of these places only a score or two have gathered to listen, while in others hundreds of hearers have thronged around. We have had, of course, in such a centre of fanaticism as Patna City, plenty of interruptions. A mad, burly, almost naked Faqir yelled like a wild beast at me one evening in the Chauk, and, if the 3jord had not restrained him, would have attacked me, but invisible cords held him iback. Several times, during the month of the Muharram, elephants were led ^through the crowd to disperse it. For months past, a dumb girl, almost a young woman, with putrid sores over her face, has been most persistent in following us about, and standing close to us while we have been preaching, and had I possessed the miraculous powers of the apostle Paul I should certainly have dealt with her as he dealt with the damsel filled with the spirit of divination, who troubled him in the bazaars of Philippi. But many adversaries have not been able to close the _great and effectual door for testimony which has been opened before us by Him who •openeth and no man shutteth. This oral daily, morning and evening, preaching of .the Gospel in the city bazaars has been our chief work through the year. Following f the method of the Acts of the Apostles, I think that every other form of missionary work should be made subordinate to it. It has been my delight and privilege often to do the work of a colporteur, and to sell many portions of the Scriptures and of -Christian books ; but I think that the imparting of the message of salvation with the living voice is the more pressing duty. When eye meets eye, and the mind of an .objector is confronted by a living, loving personality, he must receive a deeper impression of religious truth than he can ever get even from the leisurely perusal of £, printed book. This communication of the Gospel through ear-gate has not been in vain. One young, intelligent Muhammadan student whose conscience was convinced, and whose heart was reached through what he had heard in the bazaar, visited me as an enquirer, and greatly desired to put on Christ in baptism. The evening of the day when he informed me of this desire, he went with me to the bazaar, and stood by my side while I preached. As I was returning home, alone, a band of some twenty men, all greatly excited, met me, and one of them angrily asked me what I had done with his brother. On learning from me that he had not been baptized they all, immediately and rapidly, went off in search of him. The next day I received a somewhat obscure message, from which I gathered that the young man was kept in confinement, and was not able to come to me. May the Lord keep him faithful, even unto death I There will probably be many such cases before Christ’s kingdom comes in power in Patna.” 1896-] ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT, 15 • - 3 i In connection with the work at Baraut, in the Delhi district, the Rev. Herbert Thomas, alluding to the illness of three native evangelists in succession at this station, writes :—

“ This year we have yet sadder news to give. In answer as we fully believe to _ prayer, God sent us an earnest preacher, S. P. Jacob, who as a boy was formerly con­ nected with our Mission, and whose brother Joshua is at present our evangelist in Palwal. He and his wife entered very heartily into the work at Baraut. The little Christian company soon plucked up heart. Every evening they met for worship, and others began to j oin them. Villages around were visited, and the seed sown in previous years being thus again watered by faithful service began to show itself in many places. But the Lord had other work for our dear brother to do. To our grief we received a telegram announcing his serious illness. His brother Joshua, who has had a medical training, went to him im m ediatelybut pneumonia is a deadly thing; and two days later he sorrowfully bade his brother good-bye. Then it was we learned how greatly Jacob had won the respect of all classes in Baraut. A crowd, of Hindus, Mussulmans, and Chamars joined the little group of Christians. who followed their good teacher to his resting-place in the cemetery. I went out as soon as I could a,fter the news reached me ; and with mingled gladness and sorrow heard Hindu Banias and Mohammedan shopkeepers speak of him as fa good man.’ One Hindu-gentleman said to me, ‘ Padri Sahib, if you have another man like him, send him here to teach your religion.’ The next week I had the joy of baptizing a mn,Ti and his wife from Dhikana, the fir§t fruits of that place, with two more from Baraut itself. A month or two earlier the first two from Darishpur had been baptized. This is, I am certain, but the beginning of the harvest for which Jacob and his wife Susan, entering on the labours of their predecessors, so faithfully worked. The whole district is waking up. In Barauli, Hilwari, Barka, and Khanpur^ besides thq above-mentioned Darishpur and Dhikana, there are many enquirers asking for baptism, and under instruction, and in aome cases the entire Chamar community is debating whether to become Christian or not. In fact some, scarcely knowing what they are really asking for, have deoided to become Christian.”

THE NATIYE CHRISTIAN CHURCHES. The reports from the native Christian churches for the past year are dis­ tinctly cheering, indicating a deeper spiritual life and experience* a dearer apprehension of individual responsibility and stewardship, and a more intel­ ligent determination to undertake the support of their own pastors and the expenses incidental feo their public worship and church life. One of the pastors writes :— *......

“ A delightful spirit of love and unity has been manifested, and the Spirit of God has stirred the hearts and changed the lives of many belonging to the Christian community.” ' . , The Rev. Robert Spurgeon, reporting on -the native churcheg in the Backergunge district, writes :—

“ Many people find fault with our reports of native churches, aind think we write 16 ONE HUNDRED A.ND FOURTH REPORT. [1896.

too glowingly of our brethren. But I imagine that Paul would be led to write the same did he know what we know about the native churches. ‘ Paul’s thankfulness for what he heard about the faith and religious life of the Ephesian Christians is one of the many proofs that his nature was singularly ardent, generous, and sanguine,’ says Dr. Dale. ‘ He knew there were many of them who were emerging only very slowly from the vices of their old heathen days, else he would not have thought it necessary to write what he has written in the latter pages of that epistle, about the most elementary moral duties. But it was his habit to think of all that was fairest in the lives of Christian people.’ Is not the great apostle in this respect an example to us ? Governed by another and contrary spirit, can work be done at all among native churches in India ? We watch for signs of progress among our people as the natives of Egypt anxiously watch for the rising of the Nile : but we cannot announce as they do in the streets of Cairo the precise amount of progress made. We have no unerring gauge for the purpose. ‘ Signs of the times ’ alone can be recorded, and this is all we attempt. “ Among encouraging signs I recoid the following: At Indurkhani a good corrugated iron chapel has been erected. In March last it was opened with a series of special services, at which Mr. Donald assisted me. The building cost Rs. 348-13-6, of which sum the people raised nearly Rs. 100. Friends at Leytonstone, Woodford, and Devonshire Square supplied the remainder. These friends have often stretched out a helping hand, and our gratitude is hereby recorded. At almost every station there have been members added by baptism, the total being eighty. The Bagdha Church has resolved to arise and build. Their old place of worship being rotten throughout, they desire to erect a corrugated iron one like that at Indurkh&ni, and have guaranteed Rs. 100 from among themselves. The total cost is estimated at Rs. 350, so that help is earnestly entreated on their behalf. The Church at Chhabikhapir has elected from its own members a brother who is worthy, and who cheerfully accepts the honorary office. On February 24th, we held a special prayer- meeting at Barisal to plead with God to regard the financial difficulties of our Mission. The letter from our treasurer was translated, and, without any appeal being made, the modest sum of Rs. 20 was raised and sent to our Indian Secretary. Throughout the district a spirit of gratitude and liberality was displayed in January and August. Every Church gave. The harvest festivals at the beginning of the year realised over Rs. 70 for the fund of the Backergunge Baptist Union; and during the month of August our cup of joy was often running over. Many chapels were specially decorated for the occasion; and after addresses on gratitude to God, receiving of offerings, and baptizing of candidates, we usually closed with the Communion service. It is probable that this festival will become an annual one in memory of the famine of two years ago. Other sources of encouragement are found in the restoration of some who had backslidden; the fewness of recent cases of discipline; the enthusiasm evinced at our annual gatherings at Suagram; the addition here and there of some from among the heathen ; the readiness with which the majority can pray, when asked ; and the frequent sale of Bibles.” Amongst the other discouragements under which our missionaries in Bengal have laboured, our Barisal brethren have been greatly distressed by the action of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel. On the invitation of native agents of our Society who had been dismissed from our service,, the representatives of the S.P.G. visited Barisal, pro­ 1896.] ONE HUNDBED AND FOUBTH EEPOBT. 17

fessedly to arrange for the religious instruction of members of their own communion in that district. But the effect of their intrnsion into this field of labour has been most unfortunate. The promise of haviDg chapels bailt and pastors supported for them has beguiled some of those who were beginning worthily to accept the responsibility of maintaining their own worship and work. Church discipline has been rendered much more difficult. Discord and division have been introduced to the detriment of the work of God in the district, and by the injudicious employment of money a blow has been struck to the godliness, the generosity, and the enterprise of oonverts. We must deeply regret that the Bishop of Calcutta supports and defends these proceedings. It is, we think, to be deplored that, while the principle of the Apostle Paul of not building on another man’s foundation is accepted by all the evangelical societies of this country, to the great advantage of missionary work, the Propagation Society should still decline to have its action limited by this Catholic and Apostolic rule. The Rev. W. R. James, of Madaripore, reporting on the influence exerted by native Christians in that district, writes :—

“ A great change for the better is certainly coming over the non-Christian population where most of our Christians live, and in the parts where the late famine distress was most severe. “ ‘ When Thy judgments are abroad, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.’ We noticed again and again that the Hindoos Bhowed much more eagerness to listen to the Gospel than heretofore; and there can be no doubt that prejudice has greatly abated in consequence of the sympathy shown, and the help vouchsafed by Christians during the distress of 1894 and 1895. In the evenings after dusk, when the homes of the Hindoos were visited, hundreds would congregate to hear the message of salvation. The attention with which they listened was very marked ; and there can be no doubt that Hinduism has lost much of its hold on the people during the last three years in this district.’1

Referring to the efforts of the native church in chapel building Mr. James writes :—

“ In the Spring I set my heart upon building three new chapels. Two of them were to be memorial chapels—one to the memory of the late John Chamberlain Page, and the other to the memory of the late Mr. Sale, of Barisal, both of whom had laboured hard and very successfully for many years in the district, and whose memory is held in sweet and loving remembrance by the Christians of Backergunge and Furreedpore. “ The one in memory of Mr. Page was built at Suagram. The old chapel was put up by Mr. Page himself, and the new building stands exactly where the old fabric Btood. It is also of the same plan, only much larger and of better material than was 18 ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. [1896.

■used in the old. This'was opened last September. The oost was about 540 rupees, and before everything is finished will probably require another 50 or 60 rupees. “ The chapel which is to be ereoted in memory of Mr. Sale, we determined to build in the village of Nobogram. Although we left the district before building could be commenced, yet we left 388 rupees in the hands of Mr. John Kerry to be used for this purpose. Of this sum the people themselves contributed nearly a hundred rupees, and they promised seventeen rupees more, in order to make it four hundred. A friend has also promised me 100 rupees towards this new building, if necessary. He has already contributed 100 rupees towards this object. With the above help, it is to be hoped that our successor will be able to build a substantial and lasting edifice. It was my intention to have brick walls with a corrugated iron roof. It was not very long ago that the Nobogram people erected a little thatched chapel ; and that without our knowledge, till it was finished, and without asking for any outside help whatever. Now they have fully set their heart on having a pueca building, and I have no doubt that their wish will be gratified before the next dry season is over. “ The third chapel is to be erected in the village of Ramshil. To help this work I left 150 rupees in the hands of Mr. John Kerry. The people themselves have promised to give the rest.”

The Rev. T. R. Edwards, referring to the losses the Soory Church has sustained by so many of its members being drawn away by other missionary organisations, writes :— “ Like other stations of our Society in Bengal, the Church at Soory has suffered greatly by the drain which has been made upon her by the several adjoining missions. Mention might be made, in particular, of the Church Missionary Society, the Wesleyan Missionary Society, and the American Episcopal Methodist Society. Thé consequence is that the Church at Soory has not on her rolls all who belong to her; and she has not profited to the extent she might have done by the children she has brought forth. While we re j ci ce that these sons and daughters of the Soory Church are labouring for Christ, though it is as agents of other societies, we still regret that they could not have been engaged in pushing the Kingdom of Christ in the district of Birbhum, and under the auspices of our own Society, Supporters of the Baptist Missionary Society at home have to bear this in mind as an explanation of the somewhat meagre statistics presented by several of our churches. During recent years there has been such a rapid extension of mission work by different Societies that the demand for mission agents has far exceeded the. supply. And as we were .first in the field, and the first to gather in considerable numbers of converts from the heathen, the drain has fallen heaviest on our churches. Indeed, it is possible to point out many places which have been almost entirely provided with workers by our Native Christian community in Bengal.”

Reporting upon the Church at Dinagepore, the Rev. W. Bowen James writes :—

“ Thirty-four persons have during the year publicly confessed Christ, and have- been baptized in His name—fourteen at Noyapara, six at Mukrampur, four at; Pagoldewan, three at Sadamahal, two at Raygunge, and five in the town of Dinagepur. Of these thirty-four persons, six are converts from among the Hindus,, one iE a convert from among the Mohammedans, and the others are members ofi OitE tfUNDBEl) AND I'OTJHtlt BEPOBt. 1&

Christian families. The Mohammedan convert had been an inquirer for almost a year. He often came to me for religious instruction during my visits to Dinagepur, and he sometimes attended the public services at the chapel. He could not, at first, fully accept the doctrine of the Divinity of our Lord. The difficulty over which so many Mohammedan inquirers stumble was felt by him also. Gradually the difficulty was removed, and he unreservedly and publicly professed his faith in Christ as the only begotten Son of God, and the Saviour of the world.”

The Church at Cuttack, in Orissa, rejoices over the addition of an u n u s u a lly large number of young people during the past year. The total number of members is now 681, comprised of 619 Oriyas, 18 Telugus, and 44 Europeans. , The Native Pastor of the Piplee Church reports :—

. “ Our members are showing cheering signs of aggressive life ; several of thexd. preach with us to the heathen, and we can say with Paul, ‘ Many of the brethren waxed bold to speak the Word without fear.’ ”

The reports from the native churches in the North-West Provinces also indicate a deepening sense of personal responsibility to spread the G-ospel, and a growing spirit of self-sacrifice and consecration. Reporting upon the native church work in Simla, our veteran brother) the Rev. James Smith, writes :—

“ Numbers have come to Simla and been baptized and gone down to the plains, and we have no further trace of them. The Bengalese come with their drinking, habits, oontracted in Calcutta, and the whole native community, with some exceptions, has become tainted. Spiritual results, with men in the daily habit of imbibing rum in smaller or larger quantities, appear impossible. It is not opium (as used in the provinces) we dread, but intoxicating liquor. Natives once coming under the power of liquor are, as a rule, lost, and every well-wisher of the native races of India should unite in trying to banish the curse of strong drink from the land. Tem­ perance work has not been successful for the want of workers of the right kind, but we hope to persevere, and we trust for more success in the future.”

From Khoolna, the Rev. Grogon Chunder Dutt reports :—

“ In the beginning of the year I have had the privilege to open four new chutcheB in the Soonderbuns without any cost to the Society. In these stations our. people elect and support their own pastors and adopt means to propagate the Gospel by singing Christian hymns, and preaching the Gospel among the Christians and non-Christians. I attended many of their meetings, and my heart melted with gratitude seeing the Christian zeal and earnestness of our people in serving Christ in their own way, and entirely at their own charges.” 20 ONE HTTNDBED AND FOTJETH REPORT. [1896.

NATIYE CHRISTIAN TRAINING INSTITUTIONS AND SCHOOLS. SERAMPORE. Reviewing the work in the College during the past year, the Principal, the Rev. E. S. Summers, M.A., reports :— “ The work has been carried on through the year regularly, and, as judged by the fesult of the examinations, satisfactorily. It seems fitting here to refer to the departure of Mr. Edwards, who goes to Soory to fill the post left vacant by the lamented death of Mr. McKenna. Mr. Edwards has been connected at intervals with the College for many years, and now leaves finally at his own desire to take up purely Evangelistic work in the district of Birbhoom. I wish to express here my sense of the services that he has rendered in the College, and of the assistance personally given to myself during all these years by his practical advice and hearty co-operation. And outside the College, whatever has been done in evangelising the district of late years is owing entirely to his energy and zeal. We feel grateful to the Committee for the appointment of Mr. Wilson, who by the success that he obtained in his own College studies appears well fitted for the important work of the College, that is growing more important with every year. The importance of the College work is, we think, augmented by the aggressive action of the Church of England, as represented by the Bishop of Calcutta and the Oxford Mission. Every form of attack, including appeals to improper motives and unhesitating misrepresentation of the teaching and aims of Baptists, is being employed by some of their agents, and we cannot expect our Bengali Christian community to be proof against these seductive influences, unless they are spiritually prepared to resist improper motives, and intelligent enough to see through the fallacies and false teachings of those who have intruded in so wanton a manner upon a district where evangelisation owes nothing to the labours of any but Baptists. It is a contest between sacerdotalism of the old unspiritualising type, and the teaching of the Bible, and we can only hope for success on the right side if those who stand for Scripture truth are indeed trained men and able to wield the sword of the Spirit. The whole work of the College during the past year has been devoted to making the issues of this contest quite clear to the students; and we feel that while doing our utmost to infuse a godly denominational feeling into the hearts of the students, we have really taught the Gospel to them in a fuller and richer degree. We desire in an emphatic sense and strive that they may be men of the Bible, nourished upon its teachings, faithful to its principles, and loyal not to man-made organisations or creeds, but personally to Jesus Christ alone.

“ I. T h e T h e o l o g ic a l Cla sse s. “ 1. The English Theological Class. “ The same five young men that had been studying during 1893 and 1S94, have continued their studies with unabated interest and zeal during another year. “ The course of study this year has been as follows :—

I.—A p o l o g e t ic s. Row’s Evidences (second half). Blltler’s Analogy (first six chapters). lli— StstEMATic T h e o l o g y . Hodge—Introductory chapters, the arguments for the existence of God and the Trinity (in part)> 1896.] ONEHtTNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. 21

III.—Biblical Theology. * The Mosaic Law in the Old and New Testaments. IV.—Philosophy. Sully’s Psychology (Introduction and General view, first 100 pages). V.—L it e r a t u r e a n d L a n g u a g e . Greek—The Verbs in Principia Grseca. Roman History—Creighton’s Primer. Milton’s Paradise Lost, Book II. VI.—R e p e t i t i o n —(the Revised Version). Epistle of James, Epistle to the Colossians. VII.—Examinations —in Luke, Exodus, Nehemiah, and Esther.

“ 2. The Vernacular Theological Class. “ We began the year with thirteen students, three of whom were entering upori their third year, and ten were entering upon their second. Of these, however, one, Rojoni K. Dawe, has been absent the whole year through illness, and another, Priyanath Sarkar, from the same cause, was absent six months, and has had to take his place with the first-year students. The new entries were nine in number, seven of whom were from Backergunge, and two were old schoolboys belonging to the College, who had been teaching for some time as schoolmasters in Backergunge. “ Three students go forth this year at the conclusion of their three years’ course. Koilash Ch. Behara, from Pabna, has been supported \by the S. Australian mission - and returns to Pabna to work in connection with that society. “ The following is a list of subjects studied :— “A.—Books of the Bible : Genesis, Isaiah (i.—xix.), Matthew and Romans (with Dr. Wenger’s Com­ mentary). “ B.— T h e o l o g ic a l B ooks : Baptism, Church Government, by R. Spurgeon, Mr. Rouse’s Examination of Roman Catholicism, Mizan-Ul-Huq, a translation in Bengali of Pfander’s Controversial Discussion of Mohammedanism. “ C.—R e p e t i t i o n —2 Timothy, Titus and James. “ D.—Bible Subject —The subject of Messianic Prophecy in the Old Testament was dealt with pretty fully. “ 3. The Normal Class. “ There were fifteen students in the Normal Class at the beginning of the year. During the year fifteen entered. Among those who were received was a young nfon named Jogot Sing, who had been baptized by Mr. W. B. James of Julpaiguri. He belongs to the Mech tribe, an ‘ aboriginal people of the Doars, and is the first convert belonging to his race. He is an earnest Christian man, full of zeal for preaching, but very backward in knowledge. He is an illustration, however, of the kind of man whom, for the sake of the Mission work, it seems desirable to teach, because though he will not himself make much progress, yet relatively what he does acquire will be a great advance upon anything known among them; and as the district iD which he lives is very unhealthy and unfit for Bengalis from other districts, tlie training of such men is exceedingly desirable for the Mission work, but at the same time it lowers the intellectual standardof our Normal Class. “ 4. The Boarding School. " The number of boys has varied from sixty to sixty-three during the year. The work in the eafly part of the year was very much injured by an outbreak of chicken, pox, whioh swept through the school at the time that small-pox was rampant in ON JE HTJNDBED AND FOOETfi BEPO&T. [1896.

Calcutta. The whole school was vaccinated for fear of infection, but we were happily preserved from a single case of small-pox, though two or three severe and peculiar cases of chicken-pox alarmed us for a time, lest small-pox had really broken out among us. Brojo Behari Kobiraj passed the Entrance Examination from the school last year, and we are hoping that one or two will pass the examination^ that are soon coming on. Two of the old boys belonging to the school, Charles Christian and Button Chandra Chose, after working for á while successfully as teachers, have returned to us for a period of study in the Theological Class. They are naturally among the best in their year. As regards special religious instruction, the lbwer classes learn the Catechism (Dr. Wenger’s) and Bible Lessons, while the higher classes are encouraged to study for the Scripture Examination of the Bengali Christian Conference in Calcutta. The success achieved during the year in this examination has been considerable. Twelve boys went up for the examination of the Second Grade, eight passed, of whom four were , in the first division, and two gained respectively the second and third places in the examination. We hope that, as in the past so in the future, this boarding school will continue to be the nursery of the church. • “ Every Sunday there is a Sunday-school composed of the boys of the school and, the students of the Normal Class. “ 5. English and Vernacular Preaching. “ There is not very much of a striking character to record in connection with this department of our work. In the spring Mr. Davies came to Serampore and began to work with great energy, both in the town and in the district. But he had to leave in May for England, as the fever from which he had been suffering all the time gained such power that the doctors ordered him home as the only chance for recovery. Preaching has been carried on as usual at the different mélas, and by the students in the town. They have gone out for the usual cold weather itinerations. In connec­ tion with the English chapel there is not very much to say.”

ORISSA NATIYE CHRISTIAN TRAINING INSTITUTION. CUTTACK. With regard to the Cuttack Training Institution, the Principal, the Rev. Thomas Bailey, reports:— “ Seven young men, all candidates for the ministry, have studied in this institution during the year. Work has proceeded regularly, and there have been few interrup­ tions from sickness or other causes. A few days’ vacation were given, as usual, at the time of the Jagannath Car Festival, when the young men accompanied the missionaries and evangelists, some to Pooree and others to other centres of the poojah. All have taken their turns at the different preaching stands in the town, and have engaged in other evangelistic work, and the seniors have occasionally occupied the pulpit at the Sunday services in the Mission chapel. All have studied with me Butler’s ‘ Analogy,’ first two chapters; ‘ Church History, from Christ to Constantine,’ fifty pages ; and ‘ Genesis,’ by Marcus Dods, introduction and first three chapters. The whole of the instruction is communicated in the vernacular, and our object has been to do well what we professed, rather than to cover a large amount of ground. No pains have been spared in explaining the meaning and in eliciting the extent to which it has been understood. The young men have at all times been encouraged to state their views in their own way, and some of the points raised have led to interesting discussions. The attention they have bestowed upon the lessons 1896.] ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. has been very commendable, and if the habits of study formed in the college are carried by them into their future labours as evangelists and pastors, we are confident of the best results. “ My colleague, the Rev. Shem Sahu, has begun a course of lectures on ‘ Theology, embracing the principal doctrines of the faith, and has led the young men through the brief introductions to the books of the Bible in Angus’ ‘ Bible Hand Book,’ Part II., also through parts of Dr. Mitchel’s ‘ Lectures on Hinduism,’ 1 Cambridge Bible Epistle to the Romans,’ and a selection of the late Dr. Buckley’s lectures. The Rev. Niladri Naik has, as usual, rendered valuable assistance in exercising a general supervision. - “ A sermon class has been regularly held on the Saturday morning, when a skeleton sermon by one of the young men, and a sermon by another, have been submitted for criticism. The quality of these productions has varied greatly, but on the whole they have shown a firm grasp of evangelical truth, and some have indicated special facility and power in presenting and applying it. “ The senior student has completed four years of study, and I warmly recommend him to be received as an evangelist on the usual probation. “ There are six new applicants for the privileges of the institution. We recommend that two of these, Satyanand Sahu and Simeon Sahu, be received on the usual proba­ tion. Both are members of the Cuttack church and have made themselves useful in Christian w ork; they have also satisfactorily passed the prescribed preliminary tests.” THE NORTH-WEST NATIYE CHRISTIAN TRAINING INSTITUTION- DELHI. The Principal of the North-West Training Institution at Delhi, the Rer. Stephen S. Thomas, reports :— “ I returned from England in February, having been absent from India on furlough less than eleven months. On taking over charge from Mr. Dann, the first important thing that demanded attention was the removal of the Training Institution from its oH and extremely unsatisfactory premises in the city to our present most commodious and healthy quarters outside in the Civil Lines. We got actual possession of our new place m April. The classes are held in a part of the dwelling-house, and the outbuildings, which were fitted up moBtly at the landlady’s expense, were found sufficiently habitable for the boys, thus obviating the necessity for further building. The cost of this change of premises has been very slight, whilst the advantage I beli ve to be great and lasting. “B o a r d in g Sc h o o l . “ The number at present in the school is for by-two. The boys of the Upper Primary and Middle Classes have attended the St. Stephen’s High School. Bible, classes have been held regularly, those for the small boys by Mr. Hasler, and for the bigger ones by myself. Two of the elder boys are asking for baptism, and I am hopeful that others will soon follow their example. Several of the boys are Christians. It was particularly cheering a little time ago, to be asked to allow them to have a meeting of their own on Saturday evening, for prayer and study of the Scriptures. It is this spontaneous, independent interest and effort, in respect of spiritual things that we so much desire to see increased and strengthened. May it grow in the school and out of it in the whole Christian oommunity. ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. [1896.

“E v a n g e l is t s a n d P r e a c h e r s ’ Cl a s s. “ I hope to re-open this class early in the New Tear, and I would very earnestly ask the prayers of the Churches on its behalf. What I have said in previous reports I repeat with increased conviction, that India must be evangelised by Indians ; but they must be God-given men, and they will be all the better fitted for their work because they will be in closer touch with the people if they keep free of English starch and dress. “ B a z a a r P r e a c h in g . “ All the hot season I was able to carry on this work more regularly than ever before. During1 the ten years I have been in Delhi, I have never seen the opposition to the Gospel so keen, organised, persistent, strong. Anti-Christian literature is on the increase, and the evangelist is attacked in every possible way and on almost every occasion. The excitement last year was often intense, and the danger to the public peace was sometimes great. The strain which this work puts on the worker is very great, but it brings great joy also. I have already written about Abdullah, his wife, and brother, in the Herald, and need not repeat their story here. Another Mohammedan young fellow, the son of a doctor, came across me in the bazaar preaching in September, and in November I baptized him. I have come into closer touch with the people during the year than ever before, and have had more to visit me at my house for religious conversation. With the opening of the Preachers’ Class I shall have less time to devote to this work, but Mr. Hasler will be able to give it all his strength.” CHRISTIAN ELEMENTARY DAY SCHOOLS. At the close of last year, in regular attendance in the Christian elementary day schools, there were 0 ) 7 8 3 children, and 254 native Christian teachers, these figures exhibiting a considerable advance upon those of the year before. B ish to pore B oarding School. In reporting on the work of this school during the past year, the Rev. Kristanga Biswas, writes :— “ I am glad to say that many of the students who have studied both at Bishtopore and Serampore are to-day engaged in our Lord’s work, and Bome have been appointed as school teachers, and some are still preparing at Serampore for future work. It is my earnest prayer to God that the boys of the South Village Churches may be the pillar of She Church of Christ in future. There are twenty-eight boys who have been regularly taught in the boarding school. Among them nineteen are supported by the Birmingham Young Men’s Mission Funds and nine others are day scholars. In the beginning of the year I also admitted a few new boys from different churches, among whom three toys left school after the summer vacation. The boys are divided into three classes. Eight boys read in the first class, three boys in the Becond, and the rest are in the third class. The boys are regularly taught both in the morning and in the day time. But all the boys are instructed in Scripture in the same class, and they learn other subjects also regularly. The boys are examined by me as before. In the beginning of the year three boys were sent up to Serampore boarding school.” 1896.] ONE HUND&ED AND FOURTH BEPO&t. ¿ 0

From Calcutta, the Rev. C. Jordan reports that although last year no bap­ tisms took place from amongst the] scholars, yet “ many boys have confessed their faith in Christ, and some also have spoken of their joy in the Lord.” From Magoora, in the Jessore District, Mr. Satsaron Mookerjee, writes :— “ Our village day schools supply us with good opportunities for preaching the Gospel to the people. “ The boys in these schools are taught to sing, and very pleasant is it to hear Christian and heathen boys sing hymns to the praise of the Lord Christ. Several of these boys are quite near to the Kingdom of Grod, I am confident.” The Rev. A. H. Young, B.A., Head Master of the Cuttack High School, reports:— “ This year the number of pupils has been greater than during any former year of the school’s existence, rising, one month, to 197. At the close of the year the number of pupils on the roll was 180. One of the pupils passed the Matriculation Examina­ tion of the Calcutta University in the second division. Two of our former scholars are now studying in the Ravenshaw College for the F. A. Examination, and the present Head Master, a Christian graduate, is one of the old boys of the school. “ Normal School. “ Last December two of the students passed the Guru Examination in the second division, and are now engaged in two of our schools. A third student passed the same examination in June of this year in the first division, and has gone to be teacher in another of our country village schools. One of the first pupils, after teaching for about a year, joined the Mission College. Eight new scholars were admitted in February, and two of these were, after a time, sent home as unfitted for the work.

“ Protestant European High School. “ This school, though not originated by the Mission, has always had the cordial Bupport of the missionaries. Mr. John Young, the Head Master, has given the following report:— “ ‘ This Institution is doing a useful and important work among the European and Eurasian community here. In November, 1894, seven of its pupils were sent up for the Primary Scholarship Examination for European Schools, and four for the Middle. They all passed, and held a high position in the order of merit, one having gained a scholarship. Another of its pupils appeared at the recent Matriculation Examination of the Calcutta University, and passed' in the first division, obtaining a scholarship. She is now studying for the First Arts Examination of the same University. She was at the head of the list of the successful candidates in Orissa, and was the first girl presented belonging to this Province. “ The number of scholars in attendance at the end of September of this year was sixty.”

From the Jessore District the Rev. T. W. Norledge reports :—

“ Our Day School work has received especial attention, and the boys have daily instruction in Biblical truths. At the present time over one thousand scholars are being taught every day the facts and doctrines of the Bible. They have studied success­ fully an Elementary Catechism, a Life of Jesus, and a History of the Old Testament. When I visited the schools in the autumn to conduct the annual examination, I found in one school alone ten boys able to pass a fair examination in the Life of Christ. I 26 ONE HTTNDEED AND FOTJE±H EEiOEt. [1&96.

question if the elder boys of some of the English Sunday-schools would have been able to compete successfully with these ten lads.” The Rev. J. G. Potter, of Agra, referring to the results of the teaching in these Elementary Christian Vernacular Schools, writes :— “ In addition to the Agra Central School, six regular day schools have been carried on for the greater part of the year, in which between 200 and 300 boys have had regular secular and religious instruction. “ Having lived for nearly fourteen years in Agra, I have seen the boys of our schools grow up to manhood. Last year I reported having met many of the old boys in positions of trust in railway and other work. This year I am glad to give still more cheering news about the old boys. About two months ago one of them, now assistant station-master on the railway, came to see me. He told me—as often before —that he was at heart a Christian. He further told me that by his father’s death he had inherited a number of idols. Having learned, whilst with us, not to worship idols, he said he did not wish the idols to remain in the house, lest his wife or mother should worship them. He therefore sent me the idols, so that I might send them to England to show the people there the need of sending out more missionaries to India. I have, therefore, the four well-carved idols now in my possesssion. Another old boy from the same school came lately to see me. I remember him well as a bright Mohammedan boy who always took an interest in his Bible lessons and obtained many prizes for learning Scripture-texts and hymns. For years I had lost sight of him ; now, as a married man, he comes to me asking for baptism. He has had a fairly good education, and is quite able to support himself without any help from the Mission. He seems also to have carefully read the Bible, and only after careful thought to have decided for Christ. We trust, therefore, that he will prove a very bright and earnest follower of the Lord Jesus. “ He further tells us that there are several Mohammedan young men who, with himself, have hired a room, where they meet for religious discussion ; that most of these young men are Christians at heart, but being of good family they fear the consequences of a public confession of Christ. For these young men I ask the prayers, of all who may read these lines. It is cheering to the Mohammedan converts from Delhi who are now settled in Agra to hear of others coming forward to confess Christ. Should several families become Christians they would prove a great help and comfort to each other.” •

Prom Delhi, the Rev. Herbert Thomas reports :— “ In addition to the boarding school we have fourteen Low Caste boys’ schools. A new one has been started in the village of Binthala; but as we were obliged to send Loka out to his old post in Chhaprauli, and could find no one to take his place in Pahar Gang, the school re-opened there last year had to be again closed. But even during its short life of but seven months, it brought two or three young men into contact with Christian teaching, with the happy result that one of them has been since baptized, and is now reading in the training class. Two more young men who have been attending an evening class in Shahdara, and two who were taught as boys in our Chhaprauli school and have been ever since more or less under the influence of our teacher there, and similarly two in Faridabad, have been added to the Church as fruits gathered from our Low Caste schools. The present number on the rolls of these schools, exclusive of the boarding school is 365- The annual examination by the Government Inspector again showed an increase in the amount of grant-in-aid earned by the boys." :n 1896.] ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. 27 SUNDAY SCHOOLS AND SOCIETIES OF CHRISTIAN ENDEAYOUR. During the past year no branch of Mission work has been more largely developed than Sunday-school effort, and no branch of the work has been more manifestly successful. The totals of regular scholars for the past year are :—4,746 boys and 2,672 girls—a total of 7,418 children—with 492 Christian teachers. TheBe totals showing an increase, as compared with those for the previous year, of 2,105 scholars and 179 teachers. The Rev. William Carey, of Barisal, writes :— “ No present means of making the truth tell winningly in the homes of the people seems to me quite b o mighty as the Sunday-school. It is steadily enlisting all the best sympathies of the children on the side of Christ. I visited this morning a city Sunday-school for Hindu girls. There were eighty-four present—from the tiny toddler to the young lady of eleven dolls ready to be carried ofE as a bride. (The girls in these schools receive an annual gift of a doll, which is locked up in a cupboard at home beside those given in former years; they are sometimes counted to tell the age of the child). They sang; they repeated passages of Scripture, till I had to tell them to stop ; they answered questions on the Life of Abraham and the Life of P aul; they joined me audibly in prayer, and one of them prayed alone;—all in the happiest and most intelligent manner. At the close they streamed out of school through the black gully, in their gay garments of green and pink and yellow, skipping off down the bazaar with tinkling anklets and arch looks that said, as plain as speech, ‘ We are coming back again—never fear 1 ’ Does that mean little for the future, when these shall have homes and children of their own 1 It means, at any rate, that they will never be against Christ. Their hearts have been won for TTim now, and He will hold His own. Similarly, in the villages, and especially in Mofussil centres, where there are students, the opportunity of gaining the boys waits to be seized, and it is the greatest opportunity of our time—not yet realised.” “ A great deal has been done during the past year, and better done, perhaps, than ever before, though we have still much to learn. It is soul-stirring to think of fifteen hundred Christian and over a thousand non-Christian children gathered in our own Bengal schools, and singing Sunday after Sunday the song of the Lamb. God give them all the new heart, that they may walk with loving feet in the new Way ? “ Beautiful is it, besides, to remember the 200 teachers—of whom nearly half are women—who, tired out with the week’s teaching, and paid for that only, come with a willing heart to work again in the Sunday-school. The Lord give them great joy in thus spending their overtime 1 ” The Rev. Arthur Jewson, of Calcutta, reports :— “ This is the fourth year I have been Secretary of the Bengal Sunday-school Union. I have had to arrange for meetings in great variety, for teachers’ reading circles and scholars’ examinations. I have also had a greatly increased amount of inter­ denominational work of various kinds. It was in this department of my work that I most felt the loss of my tried friend, and true yoke-fellow, Dr. J. L. Phillips, Secretary of the I. S. S. Union. 28 ONE HTTNDBED AND FOUBTII BEP0BT. [1896.

In my last report I recorded having written twenty-six of a series of fifty-two lessons on the ‘ Life of Christ.’ My leisure this year has been occupied in completing the series of fifty-two. They are now being translated at Bombay into Gujarati and Maharati. “ Eleven new Sunday-schools have been established in the South Village churches.’’

The Rev. John Stubbs, of Gabrarbagh, Patna City, writes :—

“ I reported last year the beginning of a Sunday-school in the stable sheds attached to our house. When we began we had to contend with many difficulties. We were opposed, both openly and indirectly. But, through God’s enabling grace, we have lived this down, and have, I trust, secured the confidence and friendship of the parents, so that now we have about 100 children, regularly, every Sunday, learning the Scriptures, Catechism, and Gospel Hymns. Very few of them are able to read, and we have to teach them by making them repeat the words after u s; but they have learned so well that nearly all of them know several of the hymns, and the larger portion of the Catechism, and some of them can say, without a mistake, the greater part, of the 53rd and 55th chapters of Isaiah, and other selected portions of Scripture. We have had a quarterly week-evening examination for testing their proficiency, which haB been attended by some of our European friends, and great has been the surprise expressed at the readiness with which the children have answered the questions put to them, and the accuracy with which some of them have repeated long passages from God’s Word. This gratifying result has been attained by the simple plan of teaching, and making the children thoroughly understand, every Sunday, a fresh verse of Scripture and answer from the Catechism, and every month a fresh Gospel hymn. " We have every reason to believe that the Holy Spirit is working in the hearts of some of the children. Some of the boys, whose wickedness and wildness caused us much sorrow when we began, have during the past year been completely changed. With all my heart I believe in the utility of seeking to win the children of India for Christ. It is my firm conviction that, provided there can be adequate continuity in this form of work, it will yield, ultimately, a surprising harvest.”

From Cuttack, in Orissa, Mr. Bond, Superintendent of the European Sunday-school, writes :— “ That the number of scholars at the close of the year was forty-four ; that the average attendance w aB twenty-seven ; that, since some of the scholars, having made profession of their faith and hope, have joined the church during the year, the teachers would thankfully acknowledge the blessing of God on their work, and on that of the kindred institution, the Children’s Christian Endeavour Society.”

Babu A. C. Das, Superintendent of the Oriya Sunday-sohool, writes

“ This institution has been maintained with continued interest and vigour throughout another year, and is now in the twenty-second year of its existence. On September 30th last there were 388 scholars on the roll—221 boys and 117 girls—and twenty-three teachers, whose valuable services we gratefully acknowledge. There are twenty-two classes—thirteen for boys and nine for girls. The year under review has also been one of steady progress. Several of our senior scholars have been received into the fellowship of the church by baptism. The attendance has been very satisfactory. The senior scholars, we are thankful to acknowledge, have ever been ready and willing to render us timely assistance in carrying on our work.” 1896.] ONE HTTNDBEB AND FOTTBTH BEPOBT. 29

The Superintendent of the Berhampore Sunday-school, Babu Daniel Mahanty, reports :— “ The result of the school during the year is both encouraging and gratifying. Four girls and four boys were baptized and received into the fellowship of the Church, and five girls and two boys are in the Inquirers’ Class. Of the four boys who were baptized, one was a Hindu boy named Rama Bramham, who is reading in the local College for the F. A. Examination. He was admitted into the Sunday-school some years back, and the instruction he received in it is believed to have led him to Jesus. His father’s threats to dissuade him were of no avail, and he was most firmly resolved to undergo even death for the Bake of Christ.” There are at present seventeen Sunday-schools connected with the work of the Mission in Orissa, with 114 teachers and 1,216 children.

SOCIETIES OF CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOUR. We are thankful to report growing progress in the Christian Endeavour movement. There are at present in the Backergunge and Madaripore Districts alone associated with the Mission 35 Societies, with a member­ ship of 335, and the Secretary of the Endeavour Union—the Rev. W. Carey, of BarisE\l—writes :—

“ A Union of Bengali Societies of Christian Endeavour for Bakharganj and Faridpur was formed on the 5th September at Suagram during the Association meetings. “ The Christian Endeavour idea was adopted by the Bakharganj churches two years ago, and the first meeting held in Askar, August 8th, 1893. No separate societies were formed, but a roll of members was kept, and these met together once in three months. The pledge taken was somewhat different from the regular C.E. pledge. “ Now, however, a number of separate societies have been formed, both in Bakharganj and Madaripur, as well as in the neighbouring field, Grop&lganj. The Model Constitution has been adopted, and the regular pledge taken by all the members. Thus reorganised, the weekly Prayer Meetings and monthly Consecration Meetings have been provided for, and in addition the Union is to hold a Quarterly Rally and an Annual Convention. The movement is spreading, and I believe it will be found admirably adapted to develop the spiritual life of our village churches. “ The first Quarterly Rally took place at Dighaliya on the 10th October, and was marked by a spirit of prayerful enthusiasm most refreshing to see. “ The first Annual Convention is timed to be held on Christian Endeavour Day (February 2nd), 1896. “ I hope to report more in detail next year as the work of the Union grows.” Referring to the Endeavour work connected with the Intally native Christian church in Calcutta, the Rev. Arthur Jewson writes :— “ The attendance of the Young Men’s Christian Endeavour Society has been as high as 35. There are 20 Active, 5 Associate, and 4 Honorary members. There are two other Christian Endeavour Societies—one for women and one for girls. These Societies are thriving under the care of the lady missionaries.” 30 ONE HTTNDBED AND FOURTH BEPOBT. [1896.

There is also a most active society in connection with the Cuttack G-irls’ Orphanage, which is referred to by Miss Leigh in her report. The Committee rejoice in the growth of these societies, and look forward to a wide extension of this valuable agency—furnishing, as it does, active Christian work for the young people of the native Christian community, many of whom have by this means been led to engage in aggressive evangelistic work in their own immediate districts.

ORPHANAGES. CUTTACK, ORISSA.

Since the death of the venerable Mrs. Buckley, Miss Leigh has had the heavy burden of the conduct and teaching of the ninety girls at present in the Orphanage. She reports :—

“ With feelings of gratitude for renewed health and strength I resumed my work in the Orphanage, and took charge from Miss Gleazer in December, 1894. I found many new faces in the school, the elder girls having le ft; their places were filled by a number of very young pupils. “ During the past nine months the work in the school has made steady progress, but as the majority of the pupils are so young, the number presented for the Govern­ ment Examination this year is less than usual. Seven went up, but the results áre not yet known. Nine of the pupils reading in the school hold scholarships, some having come from other sohools to join the Middle English Classj this class has eight pupils. “ A part of each day is given to Bible reading in English, and it is very gratifying to see their interest in this Bible lesson. The other pupils have a Bible lesson in the early morning, and at ten o’clock assemble for worship in the schoolroom, which Mr. Vaughan conducts. A Society of Christian Endeavour has been formed among the boarders. Nabakumari, the teacher, has zealously entered into this movement, and the elder girls also take an active part and prepare papers. On the roll-call are forty names; the class is a means of spiritual help and refreshment, An Inquirers’ Class meets every Sunday morning in my house after the Sunday* school. Twenty-one of the orphans are members of the church, and four are desiring to be admitted to this privilege. On the day-school register there are eighty-one names; fourteen pupils come from the Christian villages. To the friends at Hall Park, Westboume Park Working Party, Caversham, the Y.P.C.E. Society at Commercial Road East, Worcester (per Miss Manning), and many others, our warmest thanks are due for the support of special orphans, clothing, gifts of books, toys, and rewards. The conduct of the girls has been satisfactory; some who gave cause for anxiety have improved, and our hearts are cheered by the tokens of God’s blessing on our work.”

The Committee have resolved to send put at the earliest date practicable a qualified helper to assist Miss Leigh in the education of the girls under her charge, as it is quite evident that the responsibilities of the entire work at present are too heavy for a single worker. 1896.] ONE HUNDRED AND iOtTETfi EEPOEI. 3l

THE BOYS’ ORPHANAGE, CUTTACK- The Rev. Thomas Bailey, reporting on the Boys’ Orphanage, writes :— “ Considerable changes have taken place during the year. On my taking charge in December, 1894, there were twenty-eight boys on the premises and eight others receiving allowances from the funds. Of the former, nine have been dismissed, being able in every case to earn their own living ; one has absconded ; and one, a pensioner, has died. Four have been received as inmates, all from the nominal Christian com­ munity. There are at present twenty-two boys on the premises, and seven receiving help while living with their friends. “ The day-school has been brought into line with the Government system of education, and is regularly inspected by a Government officer. The teacher is one of the new men trained in the Normal School under Mr. Young, and is competent and attentive to his duties. The number on the roll of the day-Bchool is twenty-one. “ The Young People’s Association in connection with the institution has been maintained during the year, and the annual meeting was well attended and in­ teresting. One of the boys is a candidate for baptism and Church-fellowship. Their general behaviour has been excellent, but ‘ boys will be boys ’ and often get into trouble, so that careful and judicious management is at all times needful."

SPECIAL WORK AMONGST ENGLISH-SPEAKING N ATI YE STUDENTS. A Christian traveller, who recently visited India, wrote

“ There is, I am confident, to-day in all the large centres and cities of India a remarkably promising and important opening for special missionary work in the English language amongst the tens of thousands of native students in Government, native, and other colleges, high schools, and educational institutions. “ Large numbers of these native students reside together in ‘ hostels ’ or ‘ chummeries,’ and after cdilege hours are most willing to receive visits from Christian missionaries, and converse on Christian subjects. “ I found that in many such centres the agents of the Bramha and Ayria Somajis were at work just in this way, and there is no difficulty whatever in the- Christian missionary gaining access to thousands of these young men, the future leaders of India, and preaching Christ to them by personal intercourse and affectionate pleading.” This special method of work has been earnestly carried on by several missionaries of the Society during the last few years, more particularly in Calcutta, Dacca, and Barisal, with very encouraging results. The Eev. R. Wright Hay, of Dacca, writes :—

“ The difficulties of the work have considerably increased since I entered upon it eight years ago. The so-called revival of Hindooism, with its subtle stimulation of a pseudo­ patriotism, has developed among many a disposition, not so much to oppose, as simply to hold themselves aloof from the means of graoe by which we seek to win them to the knowledge and to the acknowledgment of Christ. The conversions that have taken place have made the parents and guardi&ns of the lads and young men, in many oases, apprehensive that their ooming under the influence of the mission may mean 4 ONE HTJNDBEi) AND F O U K lS BEPOfcfc.

the bringing' into play sentiments and impulses that will lead to a renunciation of caste, and the consequent severing of the closest and tenderest domestic ties. “ And, be it said sorrowfully, the moral deterioration only too painfully manifest in young India operates, perhaps even more powerfully and more widely than either of the above-mentioned influences, in disinclining men to give heed to the call of Chriat, which is the call to holiness of heart and life, because the call to Himself. “ But when all this has been said the fact remains, to which we would joyfully bear witness, that we have never had granted to us clearer evidences of the working of God’s Spirit and power through the Gospel than during the months under review. “ I have had the earnest co-operation throughout of our brother Bimal Anonda Nag, himself one of the fruits of our mission to the educated class in Dacca, and my gratitude to God is greater than ever that He has called into His service one bo well fitted by His grace for the work in which we together find a steadily-deepening delight. “ Methods of Work.

“ We have sought to reach the students by the following means: (1) Informal Gospel Meetings held five evenings a week in the hall which the generosity of friends in Newport, Mon., enabled us to erect seven years ago ; (2) a Bible-class held twice a week for the consecutive study of one of the Gospels ; (3) a Sunday evening service in which those who attend are made familiar with the simplest mode of Christian worship, as well as with the Gospel, which is calculated to make them worshippers ; (4) personal intercourse by visitation of, and (in my own case this almost exclu. sively) by encouraging visits from, those interested in the Truth ; (5) the circulation of a little monthly paper, The Evangelist, specially issued for students and educated men ; (6) the judicious distribution of tracts and booklets, and New Testaments and Scriptures (many of them ‘ marked supplied by friends in England, whose interest in the work is all the more valuable because it insures to us the prayers of some whose connection with our Society and its world-wide work has been of the closest kind; (7) correspondence with those who have left Dacca, but whose remem­ brance of what they have heard and whose study of the Word of God may, we hope, be stimulated by occasional letters proving our remembrance of them and our interest in them; (8) a lending library which supplies wholesome and helpful read­ ing to a large number of young men, and which serves the double purpose of counteracting, to some extent, the prevailing propensity to read pernicious books, and of introducing books that not only in themselves are good, but that direct the reader to, because they have themselves grown out of, the best of books—the Book ; (0) the Students’ Welfare Association, which exists to promote the moral and general welfare of the thousands of lads and young men attending the schools and colleges in Dacca, and on the Committee of which Brahmos and liberal Hindus work with us. “ Conversions. “ I have baptized four converts during the year—two Mohammedans, one Brahmin, and an Eurasian. The joy of ingathering met us two days after our return to Dacca, and we welcomed and now recall the incident as an earnest of the blessing' which it is the purpose of God to bestow on the work undertaken in His name^ “ There are many in whom it is evident that the Holy Spirit is working, and no Small part of our work consists in a ‘ labouring in prayer ’ for these. We have twice during the year devoted a whole day* to waiting upon God in the spirit of conse­ cration and supplication, and as the year draws to a close the predominant feeling —- ' w/ / ( d a y M iS?!0-.v '

The Rev. William Carey, of Barisal, writes the following graphic account of his work amongst the student class :—-

“ We returned to Barisal on the night of February 5th, 1895. Since then excursions into the district have consumed thirty-two days, including three Sundays. For the rest, Station work has been steadily done. “ My diary tells me that eighteen Sunday mornings have been spent in the visita­ tion of college students and babus, and three more in receiving such visits. “ The value of visitation is great. It brings you into close contact with individual minds ; enabling you to grip them, and them to grip you. These are the battle­ fields of the Faith. Though, at first, the politeness which fits a Bengali like his skin makes all he says smooth and sweet, he will by-and-by tell you what he feels, and that is another story. “ Visitation draws. It is the beginning of many an acquaintance which afterwards ripens into love for Christ. The students like to be visited. They like you to come and sit down in the miserable grass-hut which they proudly call their ‘ mess.’ It may be bounded on the north by the municipal drain, and on the south by the private gutter, and on the east and west by puddles of filth; but, all the same, they give it a grand name— Elysium ’ or the ‘ Cottage of Peace ’—(pasted in coloured inks over the door), and welcome you in as if to a palace of marble. It is good to be with them. Many a time have they sent me away with a cheer, and I know of no better sauce for appetite, in spite of the smells 1 “ There are always some ill— (do you wonder ?)—and these visibly brighten when you pay them a visit. I once found nineteen lads down with fever in one basa at onoe. When Examinations are near at hand a little sickness will rob them of all their hope. I always carry used Christmas cards with me, as well as Mr. Spurgeon’s sermons, and they are much appreciated. Our stook of them was large until lately, when, in one week, the white-ants spoilt a box full, weighing forty pounds! “ Many students are shy. They want you, but are waiting to be sought. Some even bring letters from other missionaries with your name on the cover, and keep them till you pass their way. One Sunday morning in April I was much impressed by the earnest face of a Btudent in one of the basis. I had never seen him before, and I do not remember that I said anything specially to him then. But at one o’clock he came to my house, having walked a mile in the heat of the day. We talked together for two hours, and then prayed. He was only seventeen, but his account of himself was of more than ordinary interest. Born of well-to-do Brahmo parents, he had known from a nhilri the story of Jesus, and loved him as good. At an early age he was sent to live with his uncle, at Bankipur, and put to an English school. Two years ago this school was closed for three months, ohiefiy on account of the Opium Commission. During the three months N. bought a copy of the English- Bible and read it through. When he had finished the book his mind was made He intended to be a Christian. But observe, he did not seek out the missionaries on 4* 34 ONE HtTNDEED AND F0T7ETH BEPOBT. [1896. the spot. He kept his resolve hidden till, in February last, two men of the Oxford Mission visited Bankipur and lectured to the students on the Life of Christ. N. was there. At the close of the last lecture he declared himself to the speaker and sought his advice. They met again next morning by appointment on the platform of the railway station, and N. was taken to Calcutta. On arrival there his new-found friends telegraphed to Bankipur, and a week later his guardian came to take him away. There was no anger and no upbraiding :—only this insistance, that he should not make public his faith in Christ while tinder age. And then, with a view to quenching the memory of the past, he was B e n t to study in Barisal. He might never have come to me if I had not turned him up by accident, so to speak, in my morning rounds. N. has visited me almost daily since. The very next evening he told his story in his new lodging, and other students have heard it from his own lips fiinoe. Few have been more regular at the Bible school and the weekly lecture. On Sunday evening, September 1st, the subject was 1 Nothing but Leaves ’—and N. was moved to declare his intention of being baptized immediately if he could gain his mother’s consent. He believed she would give it, and wrote begging her to do so, but her answer chilled his heart. He feels himself bound now till he comes of age, and then he will be baptized. There are others like him. Four in one fortnight came secretly to tell me of their trust in Christ. At the close of a lecture on “ The only Saviour,” L. M. R. came to tell me that he had taken the Saviour to be his own. He had read the Bible for three months with a missionary in Faridpur, and she had advised him to come to me on reaching Barisal. He was glad to have confessed his faith to his father before he died. A brother in Burmah supports him now, to whom I urged him to write at once for permission to be baptized. “ With the willing help of my colleagues, the Sunday evening lectures in the preaching hall have been well maintained, and on the whole well attended. During the holidays we gathered the few students left to hear us in the open air at the steamer ghat.”

MISSION MEDICAL WORK- Many of the reports for the past year bear Btriking testimony to the welcome given to the medical missionary. The Rev. G-ogon Chunder Dutt says :— “ The more experience I have the more assured am I of the wonderful power and infiuenoe springing from a wise use of medical skill and remedies. While I was preaching recently on my way to Bagirhaut, I was invited to visit a Mohammedan family down with malarious fever. The head man of the family had fever, and taking poisonous drugs he got rid of the fever but his hands and feet were quite paralysed. When by the application of electricity the man began to walk, the

gratitude of the whole family was b o intense that I could not refrain myself from shedding tears, and his recovery produced quite a reaction in favour of the Gospel message.” From Delhi, the Rev. H. E. Orudgington writes :— “ I send the figures of our dispensary where I know much good work has been done, and where I have myself, as constantly as possible, given short addresses to the patients, and had talks which I hope will not have been in vain, when 4 a great mul­ titude which no man can number, of all nations and kindreds and people and tongues, stand before the throne and before the Lamb clothed with white robee and 1896.] ONK HTTNDBED A.ND POTJBTH BEP0BT. 35 palms in their hands ; and cry, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.’ “ Patients treated in the dispensary from 1st October, 1894, to 30th September, 1895 :— Old cases. New cases. Total. 10,202 6,044 16,246 Village patients suffering from Quartan fever, 402. Written prescriptions given to those able to pay for their own medicines, 528.” In the Kalka and Kharrar districts the Rev. G-. Anstie Smith has been greatly cheered by the arrival of Dr. Vincent Thomas, who already has endeared himself to the people of the district by his evangelistic zeal and medical skill. Mr. Smith writes :— “ On February 8th, Rev. F. V. Thomas, B.A., M.B., arrived in the district and broke the seclusion, as regards my own countrymen, in which I have passed the last five years. And now our people have the inestimable gift of affectionate care in sickness, together with skilful medical treatment. Already Dr. Thomas’ name has gone abroad far and wide, and many are thankful for his ready help in time of need. “ Eighty-eight baptisms have taken plaae during the year, some of which have been most interesting.” TRANSLATION AND LITERARY WORK. THE CALCUTTA AND CUTTACK MISSION PRESSES. CALCUTTA PRESS. The Rev. G. H. Rouse, M.A., D.D., sends the following report of Trans­ lation and Literary Work during the past year :— “ The revision and printing of the Bengali Bible has occupied most of my time during the year. We are now in the Psalms, and we are pressing on with the printing so that the new edition may be ready by the close of next year. “ Almost the whole of the poetical parts have been prepared in parallelistic form, and a tentative edition of the Psalms was issued, in order to elicit opinions and criticism before the text was finally settled. But few opinions have been received, and they are all, on the whole, favourable ; a few friendly criticisms will be acted upon as far as we feel we can do so. I have gone over the whole of the Bible now for a first draft of revision. “ A year ago I thought that, possibly, when we reached the end of the historical books, our experience would render necessary several more changes in the earlier books in the next edition. But, now that we have gone all through all these books, I do not think there will be much that we shall need to alter. “ We have not found the difficulty, which we had feared, in regard to the use of the honorific form of the third person. In some cases, of course, there has been difficulty, but, on the whole, we have found it easy to settle which form it would be best to use. “ The printing of the Commentary on Genesis ia just completed. During the year I wrote a new Mussulman-Bengali tract on Prayer (JVamdz). I hope to write some more M.-B. tracts next year. At the beginning of the year the Khristiya Bandhab Wap piatfe & definitely Baptist periodical, in order that we may be free to fully 8 6 ONE HUNDEED AND FOTJETH BEPOBT. [1896.

express and enforce those views which we believe to be based on the Word of G-od. In connection with the aggression of the High Church party in Backergunge, a tract pn Confirmation was distributed. To this I wrote a reply, which appeared in the Bandhah, and was also reprinted for general circulation. This led to some criticism in a Church of England Bengali Magazine, to which I replied, and the result was the writing of a series of articles in the Bandhab on the principles and practices of the Church of England. I am very thankful to learn from our brethren that these papers have been useful, in Backergunge and elsewhere, and I hope to continue them. They may, perhaps, form the basis of a small book to be issued hereafter. Thus far the subjects taken up have been the authority of the Church, laying on of hands, and baptism. In one or two articles I showed how the definition of a ‘ Churoh ’ in Article xix. would prove that the Church of England is not, on its own showing, a Church at a ll; and also how the definition of Sacrament and Baptism, in Article xxv. and xxvii., is applicable only to the baptism of believers, while the sponsorial system, by which the Church of England endeavours to reconcile its teaohing on baptism with the baptism of infants, is a man-made device, contrary alike to Scripture, reason, and truthfulness. As I thought these subjects are as important for our English-speaking members as for Bengalis, I am publishing the papers, somewhat modified, in the Baptist Chronicle, a Magazine which was started in India hist year. Other articles have also appeared in the Bandhab on Baptist principles. I have no doubt the present aggression of the High Church party will, with all its evil effects, have one good result in making our church members, who remain loyal, more firmly grounded as Christians, and in diffusing among our people a better knowledge of the great principles which we believe to be in accordance with the teaching of God’s Word. “ We are bringing out a series of three or four practical tracts, written by Babu R, C. Ghose, of Khoolna, on ‘ Christian Teaching and Life.’ ” The Rev. C. Jordan, of Calcutta, reports :— “ In the early part of the year some work was done by me in relation to the revision of our Baptist Urdu New Testament. I was on the Committee appointed for the revision, and the results of our examination of our own version are now before the Committee of the Bible Translation Society. “ I have also taken part with Mr. M. Nath and Dr. Rouse in the revision of the Bengali Bible, and since the departure of Mr.H. Anderson have taken up his work of proof-reading of the Bengali Scriptures.

CUTTACK The Rev. Thos. Bailey reports as follows as to progress with the revision of the Oriya Scriptures:— “ Work on the revision of the Oriya Old Testament, in connection with my colleagues, the Rev. Shem Sahu and Pundit Soda Sebo Praharaj, commenced on January 21st, and has continued throughout the year very harmoniously; and when the nature of the work is taken into consideration, progress has been as rapid as could be expected. ‘ Copy’ had been prepared to the end of II. Samuel, and printing had proceeded to I. Samuel xx. 9. Copy is now pre­ pared to II. Chronicles ii. 10, and the printing has proceeded to I. Chronicles xxvi. 28. The separate edition has also been printed to the end of II. Kings. As the Books of Chronieles are not included in the list supplied by the British and Foreign Bible Society for this purpose, no separate edition of these Books is being published. Mr. Vaughan has, as in former cases, carefully examined each proof as it has passed through the Press, and has made many helpful suggestions. The managers of the Press have also given us every facility, and have bestowed great pains upon their part of the work. The paper is of superior quality, and the printing all that can be desired. Probably no more valuable work has been done in connection with the Mission in Orissa since the first edition of the Oriya Bible was published. A sense of its importance grows upon us as we proceed; and with enlarged practice and increased facilities we are also making more rapid progress. “ Our special acknowledgments are due to Dr. Rouse for his kindness in sending the proofs in advance of his new revision of the Bengali Bible. We have found them very Useful. Our grateful thanks are also due to Professor T. W. Davies, B.A., of the Midland Baptist College, Nottingham, for his kindness in selecting an assortment of critical and exegetieal works ; and to our beloved Missionary Society for a free grant of the same. We find them of very great value in this and also in other departments of our work. “ The whole cost of the printing, and a substantial part of the other expenses connected with the revision, are borne by the British and Foreign Bible Society.”

CDTTACE PRESS.

Owing to the continued illness of Mr. Hill’s daughter, and his own ill-health, Mr. Hill resigned early in 1895, and Messrs. Vaughan and Young took charge of the Press pro tem. They report:—

“ During the year, 6,000 Scripture portions, 3,000 Proverbs in verse, and 35,100 tracts and Christian books have been printed. The latter include two new books translated from Bengalee; viz., 1 Sumoti,’ pp. 47, and * Maloti and Bhagyaboti, pp. 172; also a second edition of ‘ Daybreak in Britain,’ pp. 102. In addition to the above, 47 pages of the Life of Christ in prose, 3,000 copies; and 177 pages of Church History, 1,000 copies, have been printed to complete the books. The Gospel of Mark, 24 pages, 5,000 copies, and 22 pages of Hymns, Pt. II., 5,000 copies, have also been printed. I. Samuel, 3,000 copies, has been completed from xx. 8; and the Revised Edition of the Oriya Old Testament has been printed from I. Samuel xx. 8, page 320, to I. Ohron, x. 11, page 488.

CIRCULAR ROAD, CALCUTTA. The year 1895 commenced in gloom for the Circular Road Church. A dark shadow had only one short week before fallen on the home and heart of the pastor, whose little one was taken to the arms of Jesus two days after Christmas, and it very soon became apparent that Mrs. Julian would not be able to staDd another hot season in India. Medical advice urged her immediate departure, and on the 20th February Mr. and Mrs. Julian, with their elder daughter, sailed for England in the s.s. Simla, followed by the prayers, not alone of the members of the church, but of all who knew Mr. Julian and had learnt to love him. Hopes and fears alternated, as letters, received from the various ports on the way, brought fluctuating news of the health of Mrs. Julian ; but none were surprised, though all were deeply affected, when news reached Calcutta that Mrs. Julian had passed away as the vessel steamed into the harbour of Marseilles, leaving the bereaved husband to complete the voyage alone. 40 ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. [1 8 9 6 .

Deep sympathy was felt for Mr. Julian in his great sorrow and found expression in a letter of condolence sent to him by the church. A period of anxiety for both the pastor and the church followed, owing to causes that need not be detailed here. A letter was dispatched from the church, assuring Mr. Julian of the sympathy and esteem of the church, and expressing a hope that he would see his way to returning ; but before this letter reached England he had decided to return, and had taken his passage in s.s. Malta. He arrived in Calcutta on the 26th November, much invigorated by the change and rest. Five new members have been received by baptism, and six have bean received from other churches, eleven in all.

LAL BAZAAR CHURCH, CALCUTTA. The Rev. G. H. Hook, the pastor, reports :— “ The great work with us this year has been the repairing of the church premises. To that we have devoted all our energies, and now it is finished. The cost has been very great for tus—five thousand rupees. But we have paid off three thousand rupees, and shall now have to bend all our energies to the paying off of the rest. God h»« been very good to us in giving us money for this, and He will give us all we need. So surely then it is still true, ‘ My God shall supply all your need acccording to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.’ “ In the year we have had ten added to the churoh, and we have baptized seven.”

AGRA, N.W.P. The report of the Havelock Baptist Church for last year is as follows :—: “ Our Sunday services commence with the parade service for Nonconformist troops (of whom there are about one hundred and forty) in the garrison with Sunday- school after, both being fairly well attended. During the absence of the pastor for a few weeks in the hot weather, the Revs. F. W. Hale and J. G. Potter, B.M.S., kindly conducted the services. On Wednesday evenings the ‘ Young ’ People’s Society for Christian Endeavour have held their meetings regularly. These meetings are undoubtedly a force in our midst, and have been instrumental not only in the conversion of unbelievers, but in edifying, instructing, and aiding our workers in their Christian life. The attendance at these meetings has averaged about thirty, but we are having an attendance of about forty at present. “ The ‘ Gospel Temperance Association ’ meetings are held on Fridays, and it is a very encouraging work. The soldiers assemble in numbers, and several civilian friends help us. “ Saturday evening is occupied by our devotional meeting, when we enjoy the blessing of the Master’s presence with us in prayer. “ The membership numbers thirty-seven. The finances of the church are satis­ factory, there being a good balance in our bank. We have, indeed, great cause for grateful hearts.” The Rev. G. R. M. Roche having left Agra, the church has invited the Rev. W. Cullen to succeed him in the pastorate, and Mr. Cullen has already Commenced his ministry amid signs of much blessing, 1896.] ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. 41

ALLAHABAD, N.W.p. We have received no report for the past year from Oannington Baptist Chapel, Allahabad, and are consequently unable to give details as to the prosperity of the church. The Rev. T. R. Hewison resigned the pastorate in the early part of last year, to the great regret of all. Quite recently the Rev. J. O’Brien has accepted the vacant post.

DINAPORE, N.W.P. After a season of furlough in England, the Rev. S. J. Jones has resumed the pastorate of the Dinapore Baptist Church. During his absence the services have been carried on by missionary brethren of the Baptist Mis­ sionary Society, from Patna City and Bankipore.

BOMBAY CITY. After a brief visit to England, consequent upon great and crushing sorrow in the loss of his wife, the Rev. H. E. Barrell resumed his ministerial work in Bombay at the close of September, and was wftrmly welcomed back by the church and congregation of Bellasis Road Baptist Chapel at a special thanksgiving service held early in October.

THE CEYLON MISSION, COLOMBO DISTRICT. PRINCIPAL STATIONS Colombo, Kandy, and Ratnapnra. STATIONS...... 98 Missionaries ...... 4 Natiye Evangelists ...... 26 Female Missionary ...... 1 The Rev. F. D. "Waldock, of Colombo, reviewing the work of the past year, reports with regard to the churches in the Colombo district:— “ Our total church membership at present is 901, and there have been thirty baptized during the year. In our day-schools we have 2,403 children—1,556 boys and 847 girls. In our Sunday-schools we have 1,050 scholars— 577 boys and 473 girls, with 83 teachers. “ Recently earnest efforts have been put forth to render the religious teaching in our day-schools more systematic and thorough, and considerable improvement has taken place in consequence. “ The revision of the New Testament in Cinghalese, the commencement 9f 42 OKS HUNDRED AND FOURTH BEPOZT. [1896. which was mentioned in the Report for 1894, is still proceeding, and con­ siderable progress has been made in this important work. “ Mr, A. McCallum, M.A., B.D., is giving most of his time to the study of the Cinghalese language, with a view to pass his final examination.”

COLOMBO NATIYE CHRISTIAN GIRLS’ BOARDING SCHOOL. Mrs. Waldook, reporting on the work of the Boarding School, writes :— “ The past year has been one of some difficulty to myself, as during' its later months, through ill-health, I was unable to attend efficiently to the duties of the gohool. “ There has been a slight falling off in numbers, and only one has been added to the church by baptism. The Government Examination was more satisfactory than last year, especially in the higher standards. “ We have felt somewhat discouraged by several of the children of Buddhist parents, who were inquirers, being removed from the school, evidently in fear lest they should become Christians. We earnestly desire a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit amongst the teachers, and those of the elder scholars who have made a profession of Christianity. “ My health has failed so much that I feel it impossible to continue to take an active part in the teaching, and the Committee have kindly promised to send out a young lady from England as soon as a suitable person can be found, so we trust that in the future, as in the past, the school may be a source of blessing to the women of Ceylon.” The Committee are taking active steps to send out at the earliest practicable date, a properly qualified assistant for the Boarding School, as it is abundantly clear that long years of faithful work are telling considerably upon the health and strength of Mrs. Waldock.

CINNAJWON GARDENS ENGLISH BAPTIST CHURCH-

The pastor of this church, the Rev. T. J. Stockley, furnishes the fol­ lowing record of the year’s work :— “ The chief items of interest in our work of the past year are found without rather than within the Colombo Church. In Colombo itself the work continues to suffer from an unparalleled number of European helpers leaving the island, and the membership of the church is kept small from the fact that it is not regarded to be an aristocratic thing to become a Baptist in this city. However, there have been a few additions to the church roll, and for these we are grateful to God. There are also indications of real delight in the Word of God, and of a deepened Christian experience in the lives of some of the church and congregation. These thingB have little significance to those who look only for the romantic and sensational, but still they count something in the reckoning of the Great Master. “ During the year, the church has undertaken a bit of definite missionary work. In conjunction with the Y.W.C.A. we have stwted a mission in a neglected village 1 $ 9 6 .] OtfE HTJNDEED AND EOTTRfH EEPOET. 4S callod Mabodella, about thirty miles from Colombo ; and two trained, earnest English workers have been set apart for it. These are Miss Boorman and Miss Hucksted. Miss Boorman—who is, of course, a Baptist—is entirely supported through the efforts (nobly responded to by some home friends) of the Cinnamon Gardens Church, while Miss Hucksted is entirely supported by Young Women’s Christian Associations. We are also supporting a Bible-woman, who has been appointed to assist these young ladies.”

Under the pastorate of the Rev. J. S. Perera, the self-supporting native ohurch at Grand Pass, Colombo, has enjoyed a year of great blessing. Cottage services, outdoor services, tract and Scripture distribution, and Sunday-school work have been earnestly carried on. This church has, however, sustained a great loss by the death of two most active and faithful members— one a member of long standing, who contributed one-fourth of the pastor’s stipend; the other, his son, Mr. W. C. Perera, who held the offices of deacon, superintendent of the Sunday-school, and. church treasurer. He was assistant engineer at the Government factory, and by his strict integrity and devotion to duty commanded the greatest respect both from his superiors and those under him. He bore grand testimony during his last hours to hi9 trustful, unwavering faith in Christ, exhorting many Buddhists who came to see him to trust in the Saviour he was going to meet. In the words of one who attended his funeral, “ He was preaching Christ all his life, by his life.” DISTRICT STATIONS. Mr. Waldock also reports encouragingly on the work at the twenty- four District stations under his superintendence. There is evidently an increase of spiritual life and a growth of evangelistic zeal. New chapels and schoolrooms are being built and paid for by local contributions, and Sunday-school work is being carried on with unceasing earnestness and success. A full list of the various District stations occupied by our Society, with details as to schools (day and Sunday) and church membership, together with a list of native pastors and evangelists, will be given in the large Annual Report, to be issued shortly.

SABARAGAMUWA DISTRICT. RATNAPURA. By the end of last May, 1895, the Rev. "W". D. Hankinson, having passed through his probationary course with great distinction, was appointed by the Committee to take charge of the work in the Sabaragamuwa district. 4 4 ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. [ 1 8 9 6 .

and undertake also evangelistic labours and the visitation of churches and schools in the Low Country district. Reporting on the work at Ratnapura and in the surrounding villages, Mr. Hankinson writes :—

“ The most encouraging part of the work has been the open-air preaching. Large and attentive crowds have gathered round us, and there has been little opposition. My native colleague, Mr. S. B,. Perera, is well fitted for this work. He presents the Gospel with clearness, and with an evident appreciation of the religious condition of the people. The people often ask questions, and these we try to meet with quiet and kindly answers, and with a sympathetic regard for all sincere inquiry. Mr. Perera holds a weekly Singhalese service in the church, and a Bible-class for the teachers. He also regularly visits the schools in the district, so his time is very fully taken up. When I am in Ratnapura we work together, and, as opportunities occur, visit the villages which lie further away from the town. Often on Sabbath evening I conduct an English service, and I have reason to know that God’s blessing has rested on some of these services. I am arranging, also, for occasional lectures on the Sabbath evening. In this way I hope to reach more than by ordinary services, and it is possible for a lecture to be just as full of the Gospel as a sermon. My first attempt encourages me to continue, for quite a number of educated men came to the church and heard the truth with evident interest.”

Reporting on school work, Mr. Hankinson writes :— “ Of my visits to the Low Country districts I oould write much. I have not yet visited all the schools, but nearly all. In doing so, I seek chiefly the spiritual welfare of the children, and try to encourage the teachers to realise that it is the most important part of their work. The Gospel of Luke is being taught regularly in nearly all the schools, and the children are getting a good knowledge of the facts of Christ’s life. But we want the teacher to earnestly seek to lead the children to Christ as their Saviour, and so I feel that this visitation of the schools is very important.”

Referring to the steps taken three years ago by the Committee, with a view to develop the resources of the native Christian churches, and make them independent and self-supporting, Mr. Hankinson writes “ It is cause for thankfulness to know that our churches have been sustained thiough these three years of testing. Some of them are weak ; but most of them are stronger, and doing better work than when they were dependent on the Home Society. They realize their responsibility, and I believe their present condition fully justifies the step which has been taken in making them self-supporting.’’

Mr. Hankinson clo3es his review of the year’s work as follows :— “ Of results in the shape of definite conversion there may not be mu eh. to report from these districts during the past year. But if the workers on the field are not discouraged, friends at home ought not to be. Face to face though we are with stubborn resistance, and a still more painful indifference, we are not discouraged. It has become more and more plain to me that the Gospel of Christ is the only message fitted to meet the needs of these people. We must not murmur at slow progress. God is working among these nations in a way we know not. Only let us be in a line with His purposes ; then neither we nor our friends at home need be discouraged." 1 8 9 6 .] ONE HtTNDBED AND I'OUBiH KEtOfcl. 4S

THE KANDY DISTRICT.

The stations in the Kandy and Matale districts are under the oversight of the Eev. H. A. Lapham, who resides in Matale. The. native churches in both these centres are self-supporting, and render encouraging reports for the past year. The members of the Church Committee in Kandy report “ that there has been a great increase in the number of Sunday scholars, and in general evangelistic labours ; the Young Men’s Gospel Band have carried on aggressive work by street preaching village preaching, hospital visitations, tract distribution, and college meet­ ings,” and in reference to the policy of the Home Committee in developing their self-support and independence they write :—

“ This policy of the Mission Committee in throwing us upon our own local re­ sources will undoubtedly tend to promote and develop that self-reliance and independence which are the glory of the Free Christian Churches.”

With regard to Matale, Mr. Lapham writes :—

“ Here, in Matale, we seem, by God’s blessing, to have begun to reap after many years of sowing without any signs of good being done. Five young people, of special: intelligence and earnestness, were baptized last year, and now five more—young people belonging to the most respected and trusted families in the place; and they are manifesting a keen and deep interest in all work for Christ. Indeed, the past year has been signalised by a very manifest awakening to a sense of their vocation on the part of all the churches throughout the district.”

DISTRICT STATIONS AND SCHOOLS.

Mr. Lapham also reports encouragingly of school work.

“ We have been strengthening our schools in the centres where our churches are. Wherever we have churches we surely should have schools, so that the members’ children may obtain education at our hands. “ One Matale school during the past year has supplied us with good young men of intelligence as new church members, and there are evidently others who will soon follow their example. At Kalugastota School we have quite a large number of apparently very earnest applicants for baptism. I have been carefully preparing notes on Scripture Lessons with the help of my valued fellow-workers, Brethren Abayaratur and Aponso, and supplying them to the school teachers of the district.”

Mr. Lapham also states that a four page-sheet in "Singhalese has been published monthly, entitled The Baptist Intelligencer, under the manage­ ment of Messrs. Lapham, S. de Saram, and S. B* Perera, receiving a very warm welcome from the native Christians. 46 ONE ItUNDBED AND t'OtJStH BEPOBT.

TRAINING QF STUDENTS. Mr. Lapham also reports upon the three young native Christian students under his tuition, as follows :— “ Messrs. J. A. Markus and W. A. Peris, in July last, successfully passed their first year’s examination, held by Mr. McCailum, M.A., and have since been steadily applying- themselves to second year work. They are both very earnest in Christian work, as well as in study, and as the result of the good use they (especially Mr. Markus) have made of their Church History studies, a teacher in the Roman Catholic School here, a young man of keen intelligence, is now a candidate for baptism, having left the Church of Rome. In September, Mr. A. R. Gunesekera began his studies, and has been a very intelligent and, hardworking student. They have all had a good deal of practice in evangelistic work Bide by side with their studies.”

SHANTUNG PROVINCE. TSING CHU FU.

T h e N a t iv e Ch r is t ia n C h u r c h . The Rev. J. Percy Bruce, B.A., sends the following report of the Tsing Chu Fu native Christian chultih :— “ As was the case last year, the work in this district shows a general and gradual advance. In each of the six pastors’ circuits into which the district is divided there is a net increase in the membership. In all 128 have been baptized ; twenty who for several years have ceased to worship with us, have now rejoined us and, after probation, been restored to fellowship; while six others have been received by transfer from other churches. The net increase for the whole district is 104, making the membership at the close of the year 1,443. “ Early in the year, Pastor Sun, of the Lin C’hu circuit, resigned his office, and in his place two students were elected as student-elders to take the joint oversight of the churches until such time as a pastor can be elected. Li Tien Ying has also resigned his position as pastor of the N.-E. Circuit, the cause of which step is a terrible affliction which haB befallen him, calling for the deepest heartfelt sympathy from us all. Towards the latter part of the year what proved to be leprosy began to appear on his face. He is now under medical treatment, and our hope and prayer is that, by the blessing of the Great Physician, the disease, taken at its earliest stage, may be arrested. 1 8 9 6 .] ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. 4 7

“ Both these circuits can ill afford to be without direct pastoral oversight; but they both belong1 to the fold of the Great Shepherd of the sheep, and we cannot but believe that He will raise up those who are called and trained by Himself to tend His sheep. “ There is one new feature introduced this year which I should mention. Hitherto a conference of delegates from all the stations throughout the six pastors’ circuits has been held three times a year in the city. This time the Spring meeting was discontinued, and instead a meeting open to all was held in each circuit. There was a service in the morning, and in the afternoon a public meeting. In this way the women and a larger number of men were able to share in the stimulus of the large gathering. Our hope is that one result will be a growing feeling in the various circuits that they are not only parts of one whole, but that they each have an individuality of their own ; and that, on the one hand, they will have a deepened sense of comradeship, and on the other realise their responsibility, as a local com­ munity, to the thousands at the doors still in the darkness of heathen superstition. I am glad to say that there are signs of a fresh access of the evangelistic spirit ; new efforts are being made to break down the indifference, which is now the greatest obstacle to the truth against whcih we have to contend. “ The various means adopted for the instruction of the converts and their growth in spiritual life have been maintained, as in previous yeaxs. In the Pastors’ Monthly Conference and Bible-class we have continued the study of the Epistle to the Romans to the eighth chapter. In the women’s classes the study of Old Testament history was continued with Mrs. Whitewright; of the Resurrection, and the early chapters in the Acts of the Apostles, with Mrs. Bruce; and of the Gospel of Luke with Miss Shalders. Conferences of forty or fifty Christian workers have been held at intervals, which we trust have proved helpful to them in their inner life as well as in their work for Christ.

THE GOTCH-ROBINSON NATIYE CHRISTIAN TRAINING INSTITUTION IN TSING CHU FU.

The Rev. J. S. Whitewright, the principal of the Gotch-Robinson Institution, sends the following report for the past year

“ With regard to the work of the students during the past year, I am glad to be able to state that it has gone on satisfactorily. “ We have been specially glad to note increased efforts and a more earnest spirit in their evangelistic work. The examinations for native degrees fell this year during out summer vacation, and gave opportunity for special work among the students, who come from all over the Prefecture. Great numbers of them visited the museum, and preaching was carried on in the ohapel during the whole day by some of our best men. The examinations lasted over two months, during which time, I find on referring to the record, the visits amounted to 26,350. It is a matter for great thankfulness that we were able to reach so many of the class which is, as a rule, so hostile to us. “ The Sunday evangelistio work of the students during the session has baen carried on with more vigour and system than we were able to give last year. There are ten small market towns, or villages, where markets are held several times in the month,- within a radius of seven miles of the city; and, whenever the markets fall on ,u* Siinday, they are visited by two or more students, who preach and distribute suitable, tracts, &c. 4 8 ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. [ 1 8 9 6 .

“ Evangelistic work in the eity itself has been systematically carried on. On Sundays, fourteen of the men specially selected for that work go two and two into different districts of the city, the same men keeping to the same district so as to get well known. They visit a good deal from shop to shop, but have also in some cases gained access to the homes of some of the more wealthy. On the whole they have been well received,and greater willingness has been shown to listen to ‘ the doctrine’ than we have hitherto experienced. “ On Sunday evenings, we have occasionally used the magic-lantem in the chapel for evangelistic work. We have been unable to carry it on Sunday after Sunday without a break, as on its getting to be widely known we have had to turn away hundreds of people. The students take special invitations to people whom we are anxious to reach, and we have been able by this means to bring about us shopkeepers, secretaries in the Yamens, and others for whom it is not easy to come to us during the day. The attention given to addresses on pictures illustrating the Life of Christ, &c., has been encouraging, and I am glad to say that the students have thrown themselves into this branch of their efforts very heartily. “ The application to their studies, which have been carried on according to the usual course, and the progress made have been very satisfactory. We have at present forty-eight students, half of whom are taking the full course, and half the ‘ Lay Preachers’,’ or shorter course of three years. Eight men have just been selected from Chou Ping district, and eight also from this district, which will bring us up to our full number of sixty-four men in all. We regret that Mr. Bruce’s furlough to England will deprive us of his help in teaching, which has been regularly carried on as in the last year, but we are looking forward to Mr. Jones’ help during this year. “ The ‘ Leader Classes ’ were held in the spring and autumn, and we find ourselves able to carry on this branch of the work with more effect as time goes on. The men attending these classes show their appreciation of the help afforded them during these short periods of instruction. “ With regard to the work in connection with the museum, we are very thankful that it has succeeded beyond anything that it ever entered into our minds to hope for, and this has specially been so during the last two years. Our only regret has been to have to turn many away, especially during the examinations above referred to. I find that the number of visits paid during the year amounted to 76,660, of whom 6,740 were women. As it would not be according to Chinese ideas of propriety for men and women to be in the musuem at the same time, the women are shown over separately, and enter and leave by a different door to the men. They are first shown into the ‘ women’s guest room,’ where they are met by Mrs. Whitewright’s Bible-woman, who takes the opportunity of conversing with them on religious matters. Many hundreds of the women pilgrims who come to visit the temples on the hills near the city, and perform their vows, have been thus reached, and have had a better way pointed out to them. In a short report it is only possible to very briefly touch on these various efforts, and, I am afraid, only give a very inadequate idea of them. It would take too long to attempt to describe them in full. “ We look forward to the time when, with the blessing of God, a great haxveBt will be reaped as the result of all this seed-sowing.”

In pursuance of the earnest desire of his colleagues and the Home Committee, the Rev A. G. Jones has consented to remove from Chouping to Tsing Chu Fu, with a view to assist Mr. Whitewright in the work of the Training Institution. 1 8 9 6 .] ONE HTTNDBED AND FOURTH BEPOBT. 4 9

THE NATIYE CHRISTIAN BOYS’ HIGH SCHOOL, TSING CHU FU, AND YILLAGE DAY SCHOOLS. The Rev. Samuel Couling, the Superintendent of the Tsing Chu Fu High School, repjrts with regard to educational work as follows :— “ In the city boarding school or high school (Kuang-te Shu-Yuan) we began the year with fifty-six boys, of whom several have dropped out during the year through ill-health. The simplest way to show the amount of work done is to give, as I did last year, the number of certificates granted after examinations; they are as follows :—G-eography, 15 ; General History, 23 ; Arithmetic I., 19 ; Arithmetic II., 5 ; Algebra, 2 ; Euclid Br. VI., 2 ; Trigonometry, 2 ; Chemistry, 3 ; Temperance Physiology, 26 ; and in Scripture—Life of Christ, 14 ; Life of Paul, 15 ; Life of David, 12 ; Old Testament History, 10 ; in all, 148 certificates. Other examinations will be held shortly, but must be included in next year’s report. A class of the elder boys has read through, with me, Mackenzie’s ‘ Nineteenth Century,’ lately translated by Mr. Richard. The examinations have been conducted by Revs. J. P. Bruce, B.A., E. W. Burt, B.A., J. S. Whitewright, and R. C. Forsyth, of our own Mission ; and Rev. F. Chalfant, of the American Presbyterian Mission. “ The enlarged school is so new, most of the boys being in their first or second years of attendance, that it is full early to look for any marked success ; but I am confident that the value of the training the boys receive will be seen by all the Church in years to come. “ I may say that the subscriptions for food during the year have been about the same as last year, amounting to half the actual cost. “ With regard to the V i l l a g e S c h o o l s , they have been fewer in number, partly owing to the disturbed condition of the country at the beginning of the year. There were in all twenty-two schools in this district, with 257 scholars; and the work done in spite of many difficulties has been as satisfactory as in most years.”

CHOUPING. THE REV. ALFRED G. JONES. The following report from the Rev. Alfred Gr. Jones tells the story of his unflagging exertions to teach the Chinese by practical experience the great advantages to be derived from Western invention and machinery in the process of manufacture, all the outlay involved, including his own family expenses, having been met entirely from Mr. Jones’s private resources. “ Except for those duties of Mr. Forsyth, whioh devolved on me during his absence in ~Rng1and on furlough, my time has been a l m o s t wholly devoted to the industrial project I have in hand, the course of which ran anything but smoothly—in fact, the history of these two years is a catalogue of difficulties. “ My aim has been to teach my pupils to be able to construct machinery, out of native materials, as far as may be, that will enable them to carry on the manufacture of native cotton in a way far, far in advance of their present methods; and in order to do that it was necessary to show them the construction of a complete set. That undertaking and aim, involving their learning the use and care of Western machine- jfcools, has been pushed forward as steadily as I could do it during this entire period, tuid, though it is even still in what may be called the period of inoubation, is coming 50 ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. [1896. rapidly to the close of it. Of all difficulties, I suppose the chief is working out here in the middle of a Chinese province surrounded by appliances that no one except the initiated understand, and so, in the very nature of the case, cut off from all possible help of every kind. The amount of actual difficulty in manipulation, the trouble arising from the natural uncultured intellect and hand, as well as from the natural man in general, have been more than I ever faced before ; but, to my mind, whatever may be the particular result, my men will certainly have attained the knowledge and the power to overcome difficult matters with limited means such as their country provides ; the seeds of advance, and of mechanical dominion over the conditions around them will have been, and are now, practically sown in this interior district, and that as indigenously as I can hope for it to be done at the present stage. “ The number of pupils, or apprentices, I have is properly eight. Those who entered first can now do pretty good work, that is, for China, and for men such as they are; the last-entered men have made very fair progress by this, too ; and all would make far greater progress if I had strength anything equal to my desires and ideas. “ I am, however, now on the eve of completing my set, having only one more machine to do, and then the issue will soon be seen. “ The pains, worry, and expense have far exceeded what I originally expected, but these things are, of course, the inevitable accompaniments of serious effort. “ In addition to the mechanical part of my work, I have kept on foot some efforts for the amelioration of distress among our agricultural people, which, though as slow as the mechanical, promise well—namely, the introduction of superior cotton seed, and improved methods of cultivating it. There is no doubt this will succeed, and grow to large dimensions. Mr. Herring and Mr. League, of the American Southern Baptist Gospel Mission, having been themselves cotton-growers, have aided me much in this ; and Mr. Forsyth is now getting printed for me a treatise on cotton culture. Thus some have helped me by their advice, some by their assistance, and all by their forbearance, when, in a very undermanned work, I was forced by health and the necessities of my pursuit to deny my friends the aid they might so justly expect if it were not so. “ I am looking forward to gradually withdrawing from actual contact with mechanical and manufacturing after I go to Tsing Chu Fu, and hope, then, to be helping Mr. Whitewright to sow those seeds in human hearts without which all other progress is only seeming and deceptive.”

DISTRICT WORK. The following reports from the Revs. E. W. Burt and P. Harmon indicate how sorely these brethren have been pressed by the absence on furlough in England of their colleagues—Brethren Wills, Nickalls, Drake, and Smyth. Mr. Wills is now again in China, and Mr. and Mrs. Nickalls will be returning shortly, bub in the meanwhile the strain upon the workers on the field is dangerously severe. Mr. Burt writes :— “ The year opened gloomily, amid war and rumours of war. On February 18tH We bade sorrowful farewell to wives and children, not without anxious forebodings as to what might befall them on their long journey northward, over the cheerless frozen plain. But, by the great mercy of God, both tho»e who went and those who remained behind were kept in perfect safety, and, what is more, the work here went 1396.] ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPOET. 51

oil without break in all its branches ; evangelists came in for their monthly classes ; Mr. Harmon and I journeyed all over the district just as usual, and after exactly three months’ separation, we welcomed home the fugitives on May 18th. “ This year has been for me one of unceasing activity and growing responsibility, for have had to share with Mr. Harmon the whole burden of the church and evangelistic Work in this immense district. The strain has been so severe, owing to the absence of three such active and experienced workers as brethren Wills, Drake, and Nickalls. I hoped to have finished the prescribed course of study by the end of this year, but I soon found that, in the interest of the shepherdless flock and in common justice to my solitary colleague, all thought of systematic study had to be sacrificed to the more pressing claims around me. It is an unspeakable joy that I have a sufficient working knowledge of the language to do some little service. On Sundays I have taken my turn at the preaching service in the city chapel, and each time I have felt greater freedom in speech, and, consequently, have had a closer grip on my hearers. The churches under my care have received frequent visits, when the Communion has been administered, schools have been examined, and patients attended to. In the spring I examined a large number of candidates for baptism, and in July had the joy of baptizing fifty-five men and women. I also assisted Mr. Harmon in some of his baptisms, and the total number baptized this summer in this district was 329. I sub­ join brief reports of the districts under my sole charge : “ 1. Chih-Ch’uan sends one student to the Institute and four boys to the high school. Despite the persecution that broke out last year the work in this mining county is encouraging, and the members hold well together. For instance, I recently held a Communion service at the village, in the very heart of the disturbed area, when not one member was absent. How many home churches could show as good a record There are four branch churches, with total membership of 100. Attached to each of these is a day-sohool, where the sons of our members receive an elementary Christian education. Baptisms this year, eleven. “ 2. Po-shan sends two boys to the high school. I wish I could report favourably of the work in this county, but I cannot. It has always been the hardest to evangelise, and we have been unfortunate in our native helpers. The city members number twenty-five, all very poor; of these one-half are women, and they are more earnest and intelligent than the men, and responded warmly to my wife’s efforts in the summer. At Hsi-ho, a large village, seven miles off, there is another little church of nine members. Baptisms, none. “ 3. Chou-ts’un sends one student to the Institute. This large city of 80,000 in­ habitants has only been under my care since Mr. Smyth’s departure in September, It is visited three times a month by our medical helper, and I take a service there now and then. Pending Mr. Wills’ return, no candidates were examined for baptism this year. The work is in a healthy and promising condition. Better premises are urgently needed in this very important centre. Members, fourteen. “ 4, Cha’ng-shan sends one student to the Institute, and two boys to the school; has three branch churches, with total membership of 100, where Communion is ad­ ministered ; and some seven or eight other villages where worship is conducted. Also has two day-schools. Baptisms, twenty. “ 5. Hsin-ch’eng membership has inoreased this year from fifteen to thirty-nine There are Christian communities in seven villages. Of the leaders, who come in for classes, none are more painstaking than these Hsin-oh’£ng men, two of the most promising of whom have just been accepted for entrance at the Training Institute. “ In addition to the above, I have rendered all the assistance time and strength would permit to Mr. Harmon. In October, I visited, for the first time, our far northern district, near the fatal Yellow River. The only way to reach the people 52 ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. [1896. was by boat over a vast inland sea, dotted with innumerable islands, on which most of the houses had been destroyed by the angry floods, leaving the poor folk to live as best they could in miserable little huts raised on long bamboo poles. Thousands are homeless; multitudes have tramped off to distant parts to seek a living ; and many of these outcasts are wintering in caves dug in the high banks of the river. I had quite a little adventure in re-crossing the flood on my way home. At noon I administered the Communion to some seventy Christians, and immediately after went on board the punt which was waiting for me. In all, we were five men and one donkey, and it was thought we should easily make Kao-yiian city before sunset. But the wind was contrary, and the crew did not seem very sure of the route, and the shadows deepened, and by-and-by the moon and stars shone down on us—and still no land. At midnight we struck on a mud-bank, and the crew stripped and tugged and strained for an hour; then they took a nap, till we roused them, and on we toiled. Neither we nor the donkey had anything to eat for eighteen hours 1 We reached Kao-yiian at eight next morning, cold and hungry. My only fear was that the animal would become restive and upset our frail craft. “ These brief sentences give no adequate idea of the work itself with its absorbing interest and immense possibilities, and changing lights and shades. During the war our hearts trembled for the ark of God, but God has once more proved greater than our hearts, for not only has seed-sowing gone on vigorously without let or hindrance, but there has also been gathered an abundant harvest. “ In all cares and toils there stands by my side a true helpmate, who doubles my joys and halves my griefs. She—my wife—has just passed her first year’s examination, taking ninety-four out of a total of 100 marks. While the leaders are in, she takes the women for an hour daily in the Catechism, and conducts a singing class with the men. With a growing mastery of the language, and with a continuance of health and strength, she hopes to do more and more missionary work.” The Rev. Frank Harmon reports :— “ The evangelistic work connected with this Mission has not been interfered with to an appreciable extent by the crises through which the Empire, as a whole, has passed j if, indeed, we may consider them passed—which is somewhat doubtful. * “ The only hindrances to the spread and consolidation of our work are the familiar ones of an insufficiency of missionaries and our own deficiencies. All through our Mission district there is the promise of good things. The people are friendly in manner, except in one or two neighbourhoods in which we have no time to make ourselves and our objects known. There has been all through the year a practical absence of real persecution, in spite of rumours wild and manifold. The Christians have kept well together, except tn the counties of Po Hsing and the Kao Yuan, where they share in the terrible havoc and distress wrought by an outbreak of the Yellow River, and which has scattered scores of our church members in search of the means of sustenance, and, as you will see from the statistics report, the numbers added to the church are in excess of any former year. “ In the absence of so many of our number in England, there has, of course, been no breaking of fresh gro.und ; very little has been done either in the way of new departures in the districts already, occupied. . “ Personally, I was heavily handicapped during the earlier part of the year by in­ different health, and the extreme inclemency of the . weather prevented as much travelling and visitation of stations as was necessary for taking the oversight of other men’s work and picking up the connections of both old and new work in my own circuit. 1896.] ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. 53

“ To this day very few stations in either Kao Yuan or Po Using have been visited : the floods rendering travelling almost impossible within the limits of time available for that purpose, and in places dangerous, owing to the rapidity of the current and dépth of water. “ Perhaps the most satisfactory way of reporting on the year’s work will be to take the counties in order, and note anything worthy of remark in connection with each. “ Chou P’ing, the home county, calls for little remark ; it has been fairly visited, ancl-has, I think, about held its own. • “ In the city itself we about maintain our position, and it is satisfactory to recall that through the whole of the unsettled spring-time, when the tide of war threatened to roll this way, many thousands of troops passed through our streets ; no disturbance worthy of mention occurred, and the friendly disposition of both officials and people continued unaltered. We were all devoutly thankful that we had no necessity to leave our posts during the war, though we thought it wise to send the ladies and children to Tientsin. “ There has been an increase in the number of stations; the baptisms number 33, the bulk of them coming from the older and larger stations. “ Chi Tung has been badly treated in the matter of visitation, and in consequence I have little to report. It has had fair attention from the evangelists, and they report some movement in the county, but I have not sufficient personal knowledge to be able to form an opinion on the work done. There are two new stations reported, and the baptisms for the year number twenty. “ Ch’ing Ch’eng is the next county in order ; only a few short months back one of the richest counties in our Mission district, now a barren waste. The Yellow River outbreak referred to above occurred at the junction of Chi Tung and Ch’ing Ch’eng ; but, while the former county escaped with comparatively little damage, Ch’ing Ch’eng bore the first onset of the liberated waters, and out of some 300 villages only five succeeded in escaping destruction. “ There are estimates of considerable loss of life varying from 600 to 30, but I believe the latter figure to be nearest the truth. “ The outlook for this winter and the succeeding spring is very gloomy ; how the people, thousands of women and young children among them, will bear the bitingly cold winds which sweep across the great plain from Mongolia or from the Gulf of Pechili, it is hard to imagine ; but it is certain that, with such insufficient nourishment and poor shelter as they have, the mortality amongst them will be very great. “ I estimate the number of people on the river-bank in mud huts, mat shanties, and pits dug in the bank side, at about 12,000. “ We feel devoutly thankful that our only station outside the city walls was preserved from the common lot. It was one of the five villages which the water was prevented from entering, and the people are not unthankful for their mercies. “ New stations, tw o; but it is not wise to count on sincerity of profession at such a time of destitution. The baptisms number fifteen. “ P’u Tai is at present one of the most promising of our counties, and this is owing principally to the efforts of an unpaid elder, Wang Kung Chen by ñame. He is most earnest and unremitting in his efforts to spread the Gospel, and he has been the means of opening quite a group of new stations in the north-east corner of the county. The elder, Li Hsi K’ung, towards whose expenses the Christians contribute $7.50, has also done well, but his work is of inferior quality. The church has more than held its own, as you will see from the number of new stations (eight) and baptisms (sixty-six). “ Pin Chou did very well in Mr. Niokall’s hands in my absence, and has made progress this year also. Quite a number of new centres for worship have been 54 ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. [1896.

formed in the central district of the three into which this county has been divided, and the movement still continues. # “ An official visiting- the county on official relief work in the winter, threatened some of our people, and seizing the books in the schoolroom, ordered the teacher to be beaten, and declared that any man with a literary degree who shall dare to join us should be disgraced and deprived of his degree. Happily, however, the resident magistrate was acquainted with us, the authorities in the provincial capital were not pleased to have any disturbance, and just then the tide was turned in our favour by the arrival of a new official who knew us and was kindly disposed towards us. Baptisms, sixty-two. New stations, nine. “ I confess that I am an optimist regarding the work of Christianising the Chinese. The condition of our numerous stations, while leaving still a great deal to be desired, is yet not unsatisfactory at this stage of the young church’s life and development. Something is being done preparatory, I hope, to a native paid pastorate, and in several of the counties referred to above there is considerable movement towards righteousness and God. May He make us faithful, and fill us with that spirit of confidence in Himself and love for the people, here, as elsewhere, so essential for success in the work of spreading His Kingdom upon earth.”

MEDICAL MISSION WORK. TSING CHIT FU. During the past year, in the absence of Dr. and Mrs. Russell Watson on furlough in England, the medical mission work in Tsing Chu Fu city has been superintended by Dr. Paterson, who sends the following statistics of the hospital and dispensary work in that important centre:— Hospital in-patients :— Men ...... • ...... 185 W o m e n ...... 46 231 Dispensary out-patients:— Men ...... 9,267 W o m e n ...... 3,830 - 13,097 Poisoning cases treated ...... 59 Special visits made to patients at a distance ... 54

Smyth sends the following report of the Chouping hospital and dispensary work during the past year :— “ I am sorry to report a decrease in the number of patients, but this was unavoid­ able owing to the many rumours concerning our movements. Some were afraid to visit us at such a critical time, especially as the English were supposed to be helping the Japanese, and others believed the report that we had all left for Tientsin. At one time we did expect to leave our station, as many things were against us. The Consul ordering us to Tientsin, the fear of a return of defeated troops, and a rising amongst the people all had to be seriously considered. We are devoutly thankful to 1896.] ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. 55

Almighty God for permitting us to remain at our station amongst the people \ we love and experience His wonderful keeping power. Our action was warmly appreciated by our fellow-Christians and neighbours, as it gave them assurance and confidence in us and our work. Before leaving for England on furlough the Christians and non-Christians presented us with a handsome silk scroll in which they thank us for Btaying with them during their time of suspense and anxiety. “ I am glad to say that we have evidence of our medical work helping on the higher and more glorious work of healing the soul. Some years ago one of the evangelists told me of a certain wealthy anti-foreign village in which he was not allowed to preach and distribute books. He suggested a visit from me with drugs to break down the opposition and bad feeling. I promised to go and have a look round, and on the afternoon of my visit I accidentally met an old patient who had been visiting a sick man in this very village. “ In the course of a few days the old patient brought his sick friend for treatment. Having suffered many things at the hands of native doctors to no purpose, he was persuaded to come and see me. I treated him successfully, and after a few weeks he went home, and gave us such a good character that the whole village welcomed the evangelist and his books. To-day there is a station with several baptized Christians and inquirers. “ Whilst with us, all the in-patients are conversed with and urged to accept Jesus Christ as their Saviour, and on recovery they are followed to their homes by the evangelist in charge of the district. We consider it very important to follow up any good impressions made during their stay with us. “ The evangelistic work in the out-patient department has been carried on as usual. The Gospel is preached, and books are distributed and explained by the evangelist. ■ “ During my furlough in England I hope to lay before the Society the great and pressing need for erecting suitable buildings for carrying on the work in a more efficient manner. “ We are all very glad to hear that Dr. Paterson, who has been in charge of the Tsing Chu Fu hospital during Dr. Watson’s visit to England, will take charge of the medical work in Chouping.”

CHOU TS’UN AND CHANG CHIN AND LI CHANG. Mr. E. C. Smyth also reports on :—- “ CHOU TS’UN. “ During1 Mr. Wills’ absence in England I have had charge of the medical and evangelistic work in this large and important trading centre. “ This year I have not had to dispense to more than half the usual number of patients, so have used the opportunity of putting more time into the evangelistic part of the work. I have spent many Sundays with the Christians, and urged them to greater consecration and zeal for the Master. I am glad to report an increase of zeal, and the addition of several inquirers who are waiting for examination and baptism on Mr. Wills’ return to China, “ The work in this centre is a very important one and well worthy of support. I have much pleasure in bearing witness to the sincerity and heartiness of the Christians, and trust much blessing may rest on all future efforts.

“ CHANG CHIN AND LI CHANG (South-West of Chou Ping). “ In addition to the work in Chou Ping and Chou Ts'un, I have been able to visit the stations in the above districts. In the beginning of the autumn we held a united service at Meng Chia Chuang, when I had the pleasure of receiving three Christians into the church by baptism. We had a good gathering of Christians and. friends, and all seemed refreshed and strengthened by the fellowship thus afforded. “ One incident may help to prove the sincerity of some who cast away their idols and profess their love and attachment to the Saviour. I called in at a station to hold a service and have a chat with the people. After all the people had gone home, Mrs. Chang (my hostess) came forward and said, in the presence of her four sons, ‘ We hear you are going to England to talk about us and the work, so will you take these five gods, and show the people what we have worshipped for five generations, and tell them we are now worshipping the Lord Jesus Christ.’ I had decided not to take any idols to England, for there are impressions abroad that they are wanted for their intrinsic worth, but with such a history I gladly accepted them, and shall have pleasure in showing them wherever I go. I wonder how many will stop and con­ sider the amount of self-denial required to part with such heir-looms. “ It is wonderful what we can sacrifice when the Saviour takes possession of the heart.” SHANSI PROYINCE. TAI TUAN FU. Once again it has to be recorded with deep regret that during the past year no reinforcements have been sent to Shansi. By the arrival in Eng­ land, on furlough, of Mr. and Mrs. G. B. Farthing, the missionary staff in

this most important province has been reduced to t w o missionaries, the Revs. A. Sowerby, at Tai Yuan Fu, and Herbert Dixon, at Hsin Cheo. For months past the Committee have been hoping that the Rev. J. J. Turner would be able to make such arrangements as would admit of his return to Shansi. This hope has now, however, to be relinquished, as, to the intense sorrow of Mr. and Mrs. Turner, their leaving England, at any 1 8 9 6 .] ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. 57 rate for some considerable time, seems quite impracticable. One new missionary, however, during the last month, has been accepted for work in this long-neglected field, and the Committee hope that, early in Sep­ tember, Mr. McCurrach, of Rawdon College, will leave England for Shansi, and others may speedily follow. The following report is from the Rev. Arthur Sowerby, of Tai Yuan Fu :—

“ Mr. Farthing’s return to England in the spring left the full management of everything in my hands, and it was not without some anxiety as to the results that I took over the control of affairs. It is now my privilege and duty to express my deepest thankfulness to our ever-present God for His gracious help, while I am able to record steady and satisfactory progress. I must also acknowledge the loyal help that has been afforded me by our Chinese brethren. One evening, a few days after Mr. Farthing’s departure, Mr. Han, of Chiao Cheng, was with us, and as we parted for the night he said to the brethren standing round, ‘ Mr. Farthing has now left for England, Mr. Sowerby will have much work and many cares, I want to impress on you three things : First, we must all work loyally and faithfully for our Lord Jesus ; secondly, we must do everything in our power to assist Mr. Sowerby ; and lastly, we must see to it that we keep right in our own heart.’ It was beautiful advice, and it has been nobly acted upon, and the kindliness and faithfulness of our Chinese brethren has relieved me from much anxiety, and lightened many cares. “ T ai Tuan Fu.—The station work has gone on as usual. The shop preaching has been well sustained by Mr. Wu, although it has only been at irregular intervals that I could help him, and we have sold a large number of books and tracts. The Sunday services havo been regularly attended, as well as the evening Bible-class. At the present time our chapel is full every Sunday, and often thirty or more are present at the evening class. “ The Opium Refuge for the spring months was crowded, but during the summer months I was obliged to close it to give me some chance of visiting the out-stations. Now we have re-opened it and more patients have come than I can possibly accom­ modate. Indeed, I have had to Beek the kind assistance of Mr. Edwards, who has generously helped me by receiving those for whom I had no room. “ Our Bible colporteurs, Wang and Yang, have done well, and there is promise of distinct work in various places along the road northward, leading on to Mr. Dixon’s district. Through Mr. Wang’s work to the south of the city we have been able to arrange for definite services at a place called Lou Pu, where Mr. Yung has abandoned his idols, and is an earnest learner of the truth. Every other Sabbath one or other of our church members from T’ai Yuan Fu conducts services at Lou Pu, and the T’ai Yuan Fu Church allows a small sum for expenses. It is my earnest hope to be able before long to arrange for more of such centres. By this method the Society does not «spend a single cash, and each place will bear all the expenses connected with finding a place of worship from the commencement, while a door is opened for the energies and Christian love of our T’ai Yuan Fu brethren. “ School.—1 determined this year to try a new experiment, and arrange for a central school for the children of Christian parents. On the whole, I am much pleased with, the result. We have had five boys from Shih T’ieh, and one from Chiao Cheng. Our teacher, Mr. Yang, has been resident on the place, and lately-his lad has come to stay with us also; and one of the servants, a man who has served missionaries for ten years, has his lad in the school too. Then, a.t the pressing 58 ONE HUNDBED AND FOUET H BEPOBT. [1896.

request of our Shih 171611 members, for two mouths we had two little girls here as well. This is the commencement of what I trust will grow to a flourishing school for the children of our church members. On Sundays, I have a Bible-class with the pupils, and I also explain to them the Christian books they learn to recite.

“H s ia o T ie n T z u . “ Hsiao Tien Tzu, to begin with, our oldest station. The members here have made a distinct step forward in the matter of self-support, to my great joy. Our mission premises have been given up, and the Christians rent their own place of worship. Services are regularly conducted by the elder Mrs. Chang, or by one of our oldest members, Mr. Chao. “ Sh ih T ’ie h . “ Evangelistic work has been carried on by Mr. Hu and another church member of the same name. At the villages Chang Chi P’o and Lien Hwa Ch’ih the Christians are doing their best; they have helped some to break off opium, and are anxious to start work in a neighbouring market town. We have several women candidates for baptism. “ Ch ia o C h e n g . “ Our evangelist, Mr. Pei, to our grief, died a few days after Mr. Farthing’s departure. Since then Mr. Han has taken his place. Mr. Han is in many respects one of the finest Christians I have known. An earnest and able preacher, and a thoroughly manly type of man, far as possible removed from the conventional deas of a Chinaman. He holds the work well in hand, and the church members could not find a better instructor. Associated with him are a band of intelligent, fairly well-educated men, so the Chiao Cheng Church is one of great promise. Mr. Han does not take so readily to opium refuge work as Mr. P e i; but he will put forth more vigorous efforts in other ways that will, I trust, prove not less productive. In connection with the opium refuge there is one very interesting fact. A native of Shensi, residing in Chiao Cheng, gave up opium in our refuge, and afterwards, return­ ing home, spread abroad the fame of the Chiao Cheng work. Since then Mr. Han has received patients from Shensi, who have tramped over a thousand li (more than three hundred miles) to break off their opium in the Chiao Cheng refuge. “ At Chiao Cheng we are again having to battle with persecution, and many of the members are having a hard time of it.

“P in g T ’on. “ Mr. Lin, the evangelist here, who is supported by our friends at Harrogate Sun­ day-school, has done steady work, and the number of inquirers is increasing. There has been sharp persecution here during the year. Owing to exaggerated and false rumours connected with the Japanese war, much hatred to foreigners and opposition to the Gospel has been experienced in all this district, and the violence and threats ' used against our converts at Ping T’on compelled us to appeal to the Phon Yang r magistrate for protection. This worthy made matters worse, but an appeal to the Governor, Chang Hsw, led to a very satisfactory conclusion. We were also kindly helped by H. M. Bristowe, Esq., Her Majesty’s Consul at Tientsin. “ One event of the year must not be overlooked, and that was a very satisfactory conference of the leading Christians at the commencement of the autumn. The organisation at each Btation was not altered, but, as this is to become an annual institution, the various churches will be more in touch with one another. “ Literary Work.—I have this year issued a small pamphlet on the Chronology of the Gospels. It is entitled ‘ Yeh Su Nien Kao.’ I have other work in hand, but my time for this is necessarily very limited. 1 8 9 6 .] ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. 59

“ When are the promised helpers coming ? “ At Chiao Cheng1, a woman ill of consumption is studying a Christian primer. She cannot move from her bed, and yet she gathers the other women round and teaches them, ‘ Only,’ she told me, ‘ it made me cough so much.’ Does not this appeal to any Christian young lady at home ? This woman’s husband is a B.A. (Siu k ’ai degree), but was baptized this year. He would like to ¡keep his degree, if possible, but, if he must lose it, he considers it a greater honour to follow Jesus Christ. What do our Christian graduates say to this 1 ”

HSIN CHEO. This station is the centre of a considerable number of outside village stations, in which encouraging work has been carried on. The Rev. Herbert Dixon sends the following cheering report for the past year “ The year has been a trying one in more ways than one, but, as it closes, our mouths are filled with praise to God, for without exception all branches of our work show healthy progress, both materially and spiritually. In the early part of the year the war with Japan, and later on the many false rumours as to foreign complications, led to much hostile feeling; still it has stirred the people up, and induced a spirit of dissatisfaction which promises much for the future. “ Chi Tsun out-station, which disappointed us so last year, has developed an uncommon zeal in prayer and preaching. The congregation, which had dwindled to twenty or thirty, has gone up to 120, so that our room is too small to seat the people. Every evening twenty or thirty men gather for prayer and study of the Scriptures. Two members have been specially under conviction of their duty to devote more time to preaching in the villages, and all are planning how more effectually to bring the Gospel home to their neighbours. “ Tai Chou is hampered for want of suitable premises. At present we have only a shop and back room, and find it very inconvenient for conducting services. Still it is so well situated, on the main market street, that we are loath to give it up, for many of the farmers are attracted to it on market days. Our work there has had a splendid advertisement. One day in November our evangelist, Mr. Wen, was preaching outside the Yamen (official residence) when the policeman on duty attacked him and knocked him down. Mr. Wen at once entered the Yamen to complain of the man, when the official’s eldest son came out, and began abusing him as being a “ foreign devil,” and ordered all the underlings to beat and kick him. [He was at once knocked down «.Tiri kicked all over, being finally dragged along by the heels and thrown into the road. Such treatment of a man created great excitement, and many exclaimed against it. The evangelist is a man of grit, for he jumped up, and at once began to explain to the hundreds of people around what doctrine it was for which he was thus maltreated. Meanwhile the news spread into the villages around, and, I am glad to say, all our converts at once came into the city to comfort their evangelist, and stand by him in his hour of trial. “ On hearing of the matter, I decided to give the official an opportunity of apologising for his son’s and servants’ oonduct before reporting the matter to the Governor of the province. It turned out that the official had been told that our evangelist had got drunk and created a disturbance. On hearing our account he at once offered all the repaxation in his power, invited the evangelist to the Yamen ‘ to drink t?a,’ publicly apologised for his son’s conduct, dismissed the original offender, and issued a stringent proclamation in our favour. He inquired much about outj aims and methods, confessed he had been sadly misinformed concerning us, publicly 60 ONE HUNDBED AND FOUBTH BEPOBT. [1896.

expressed the wish that we might become speedily a power for good in the district, and said he would be our life-long friend. This action on his part is chiefly accounted for by the fact that the Imperial decree degrading for life the Viceroy of Tzech’uan had reached Tai Chou a day or two previously, ‘ and,’ said the official, ‘ if a Yiceroy is degraded for not protecting Christians, what may not happen to a poor Prefect like me ? ’ “ This affair has advertised our work splendidly, and has given me a much deeper confidence in our evangelist and converts. “ Kwo Hsien, which is twenty miles this side of Tai Chou, has been opened thiB year, thanks to the generosity of Mr. C. F. Foster, of Cambridge. It is of course quite a new work there, but I think that at least four of our inquirers are really converted ; one convert especially has realised the power of prayer, has given up his opium by prayer without medicines, and is constantly praying with the sick amongst his friends and neighbours. Our landlord has so changed his opinion of us that he is now as anxious to keep us for tenants as he was before to get rid of us. “ Tso mo Chen is our least prosperous out-station. It is paid for by native sub­ scriptions, the Mission only finding a caretaker. I urged that it should be given up, but our church will not hear of such a thing, and have made arrangements to economise in minor points and to increase their subscriptions so that an evangelist may be kept there permanently. Again I am thankful to find so much spirit in our converts. We baptized one man from there this year. “ In Mein Chon itself we have much progress to report. Our services are well maintained, and lately our hall has been well filled on Sundays. Our book-shop has been redecorated, and made more attractive, and during the winter has been daily filled with listeners. Medical work has not been, and cannot be, pressed, with so much other work on hand, but it has not been neglected, and several have been converted through its instrumentality. Whenever reinforcements arrive it will be capable of immense expansion. In a large village, eight miles north, and in another seven miles south, our people are desirous of starting public services, as the distance makes it impossible for manyi to attend the city services. They are arranging to provide a room and furniture entirely at their own expense. “ Our schools have doubled in number of scholars, and their influence iB invaluable. The scholars soon learn the true value of idolatry, and many of them are bold in testifying against it. One boy was reprimanded for singing ‘ foreign songs ’ on the village street. ‘ No,’ replied the boy, ‘ it is no foreign song ; it is praising God in our own tongue.’ The school-house, which is provided by the people, becomes a centre at which inquirers and converts gather in the evenings for singing and prayer. We hope, this coming year, to see another established about four miles from Chi Ysun.” '

SHENSI PROVINCE.

The Committee anticipate that by this date, after many distressing delays, consequent upon the revolution in Khensu, the Rev. Evan and Mrs. Morgan will have reached Shensi, and have liberated the Rev. A. G. Shorrock, B.A., for his start homewards on his much-needed furlough. Mr. Shorrock sends the following review of the work of the past year« “ It has been our lot during the four years we have been working in this province to pass through continuously troublous times. Immediately after our settlement feere there came famine, which continued for over two years; this was scarcely over 1896.] ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. 61 before war broke out with Japan; then came news of the demolition of Mission property in the adjoining province of Tsu cho’ non’, and the murder of missionaries in Fuchien ; and lastly, a most serious rebellion has broken out in the neighbouring province of Kantu, causing panic in the entire province of Shensi. “ Through all these troublous times we have not once felt that preaching operations should be suspended, and, in spite of wars and rumours of wars, we have been able to go on with our work without serious molestation. We are confident, too, that these things will rather turn out for the furtherance of the Gospel, by arousing from lethargy and giving rise to an inquiring spirit.

H E vangelistic W o r k . “ Evangelistic work has been carried on during the year in nine counties, and systematic work has also been done in the two crowded cities of Hsi-an-fu and San Yuan Hsien. Our methods of operation have been various. “ Fair preaching has proved a very successful means of removing prejudice and stimulating inquiry. In two large fairs, lasting half a month each, and in many smaller ones we and our helpers have preached the Word, and in this way rich and poor, learned and ignorant, have alike had opportunity of hearing our message without incurring the odium of visiting us. ‘ I heard you at such-and-such a place ’ is a greeting we often have from men who after casually hearing us in the fair have ventured to pay us a friendly visit of inquiry. “ School visitation we have also found a useful and necessary work. If only we can get the teacher of a Confucian school to regard our teaching favourably, readier access is found to the ears of the people about him. The teachers of the schools visited almost invariably gave me a respectful reception and hearing. The work of the school was usually suspended during these visits, and the scholars allowed to listen to the strange message of the foreigner. I know of strong Confucianists having been influenced in this way and much inquiry stimulated among the young. “ Lantern exhibitions in our large cities have been a great success. The Life and Teaching of our Lord thus illustrated have been expounded to all classes, including graduates of the first and higher grades, merchants and gentry. Many have come again and again, and it is certain that in no other way could such audiences be brought together, and such close and respectful attention secured. ‘ I did not know that the religion of Jesus was anything like that,’ is a remark we sometimes hear after a lantern lecture. Thus ignorance is dispelled and false notions corrected, and the light of Life disseminated in high places and low. “ Lending libraries are a great boon to all the reading classes, and we have begun on a HTnn.11 scale the lending out of good books. The books chiefly lent are such as Faber’s ‘ Civilization,’ which shows that the spring of all true philanthropy and goodness is found in the doctrines of Jesus alone, or Dr. Williams’s ‘ L ifeof Christ, which sets forth in fine literary style the claims of Christ to universal belief, or gome scientific book which dispels superstitious notions, and undermines the belief of the Confucianist in the infallibility of his former guides. The lending of these books is much appreciated, and many intelligent men have been thus brought into sympathy with us. “ Essay writing for prizes has been tried during the year with good results. I was able from a special fund to offer'prizes amounting to £2 10s. in all for best answers to questions relating to the personality of God, the reasonableness of belief in Christ, &c. Much inquiry was thus stimulated among the graduates and under­ graduates gathered in San Yuan for examination from several counties, and about thirty essays were sent in of very various merit. Most essayists were agreed that God is the supreme and personal ruler of the universe, but they displayed much 62 ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. [1896. ignorance in dealing with the religion of Christ. Inquiry was fostered, however, and we may be thankful for anything that rouses from self-complacency and fatal lethargy. “ Our Evangelistic Association, which pledges the members to prosecute a regular course of study, and to engage in voluntary practising work, is still a most useful organization. The money contributed during the year amounts to £4, which has been spent in sending out a number of men for various lengths of time, whose com­ bined labours amount to 361 days. These contributions are entirely native, and when it is remembered that the people are all extremely poor, it will be seen that such results involve no small amount of zeal and self-denial. The course of study prescribed for the members of this Association embraces Christian evidences, the Gospel of Mark, and the Book of Acts, in all of which they are examined every three months. “ Special instruction classes have been twice conducted during the year for the benefit of our leaders and teachers. On the last occasion lectures were given on the Teaching of Christ, by Mr. Duncan; on Romans xii.-xvi. by myself; on Early Church History and on John xiv.-xvii., by our two helpers, Mr. Lin and Mr. Sun. These classes were attended by fifty men, and of their value there can be no doubt. Only by committing the truth to those who shall be able to teach others also can the Church be firmly rooted and self-expanding. Careful instruction in Biblical truth is the only effectual way of preventing fanciful interpretation and of resisting the insidious attacks of Roman Catholicism, which has been established in this neigh­ bourhood for many years, and is now seeking by bribes of various kinds to win over adherents. In addition to these special classes, I have had for the last two years a class of thirty men and youths, who have met on an average twice a month for study of the Old Testament. We have now been through selected portions from Genesis to II. Samuel. The lessons taken from these books are of special practical utility to the Chinese; the national life depicted therein being much analagouB to theirs.

“ S c h o o l s . “ By the establishment of schools, we have sought to provide for the spiritual welfare of the young. It is our aim to make our schools evangelistic agencies, and we estimate their success not merely by examination results, but by their influence in securing obedience to Christ. This year’s results have encouraged us greatly. In our boys’ schools we have had this year 235 scholars distributed over eighteen schools. The schools are constantly visited and examined, and we seek to secure efficiency by appointing as teachers only men in sympathy with us, ■whom we submit to regular examination. These schools are carried on at a very small cost, the amount paid by the Mission to the teacher amounting to only a little over £2 a year, the rest being paid by the parents of the children. The school­ room, which serves as chapel also, is erected by the people, the Mission only making a small contribution (about 10s., as a rule) towards the woodwork, the furniture and all other requisites being also provided by them. “ Our Christmas gathering of 200 scholars was really an inspiring sight, and spoke of great possibilities of work among the young. “ So, in spite of the great commotion that is now taking place in this land, threatening even to annihilate China as a kingdom, there is surely being raised up &- kingdom that shall never be shaken. For the Word of G-od is mighty to-day, and the living Christ is with us still.” HSI-AN-FU. The Rev. Moir B. Dunoan, M.A., writes:— “ The Mohammedan rebellion, though'-centred in Kan-Su, has been near enough td 1 8 9 6 .] ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. 6 8 disturb our work and distraot the people. Indeed, for a short time there was real panic, the villagers left their homes and fled to the cities for safety, and terror prevailed. We had no authentic information, only the most extraordinary canards. These were published as the 1 latest news,’ and, in consequence, Mr. Morgan was refused a pass­ port and we were asked to leave ; but we all felt that flight would be a very ignoble furlough. And, besides, the events of the year—Japanese war, Mohammedan rebellion, political bankruptcy, riots, massacres—have another meaning. They may be but the dreadful, yet drastic, preliminaries to the conversion of China ; for there are now but two alternatives—reformation or death. Thus, on the threshold of another year, we see supreme opportunities for showing how the religion of Jesus <3hrist stands out the centre of divine and regenerating ideas ; the source of those great splendid beliefs which can inspire men, create justice, ennoble government, civilise as well as save this land. The longer one resides in the interior the more sublime does the Gospel of Christ appear, and the more immense the task of herald­ ing the Way, the Truth, and the Light of Men.

“H s i -a n -f u . 11 In this great city there has been much aggressive endeavour, but, as yet, little actual results. “ A dispensary has been open, and somewhat regular medical work attempted. By this agency access has been gained to the homes of some of the leading families —Chinese, Mohammedan, and Tartar. This work has a limitless promise, and has had a liberal support. We have simply created a demand we cannot meet, and a responsibility which only a qualified doctor can discharge. We can neither close nor continue this work. “ The book-shop has again sold a large supply of literature— £101 odd in the twelve months. It has been continued without any expense to the Society. It has again proved an unquestionable influence with our most inveterate opponents, and been a centre of communication with the officials and higher classes. “ A day-school for boys was begun early in the year. Only nine scholars, out of a large number who enrolled, dared attend, because vile placards scattered pen-poison and stirred up hate. The school obtained an undeserved reputation through the success of one of the scholars—a B.A.—who passed First Class in Arithmetic in the Prefectural Examination. The Literary Chancellor gave an unmerited commenda­ tion for a thesis which could not have been written without the aid obtained in the school. Two of the scholars applied for baptism, showing that there has been spiritual as well as intellectual influence. “ Preaching has been continued daily at the house, and open-air work frequently during the year. Tent work has reached multitudes, and been the means of broadcast Bowing—let us hope of deathless seed. “ Lectures, illustrated by lantern views, were given during the spring and autumn to large audiences in various places. This has been an effectual way of preaching the Truth. This plan will be more largely used in the future, as its efficiency is beyond question. “ At intervals during the year a short paper was issued dealing with important religious questions apologetically and current topics. We hope this effort may develop into a regular periodical and messenger of Truth. By such means we have been attempting to break down prejudice, overcome race hatred, heal the sick, teach the ignorant, uphold the Truth, and circulate light. There are a few who already know and believe the Gospel, but are bound by fetters of adamantine strength and hindered by implacable hate—e.g., one exceptionally able graduate, who has regularly attended the services, has been watched, threatened, and falsely accused. Another, 6 64 ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. [1896.

alao a B.A., was publicly beaten by his father and dismissed from his situation because he dared attend worship. Another, a doctor, was ostracised because he had broken off opium on our premises. Another, the son of an official of high rank, and who also broke off his opium with us, had the opium smoke exhaled into his nostrils while asleep, that he might be compelled to renounce the foreigners doctrine. Thus this report but records— “ ‘ One death-grapple in the darkness ’twixt false systems and the Word, Truth for ever on the scaffold, wrong for ever on the throne, Yet that scaffold sways the future . . for evil’B triumphs are but her endless loss. “ Medical Work.—In addition to the dispensary in Hsi-An regular medieal work has been carried on in the city of San Yuan and in the village centre of Ta Ch’ing Chen. About 2,000 have been helped. Their gratitude and generous gifts show the ease with which a thoroughly self-supporting medical work could be established, and prove how great is the opportunity still unembraced. So long as we manifest supineness in this imperative work of mercy so long shall our Mission be robbed of half its testimony and power.

T h e N a t i v e C h r i s t i a n C h u e c h . “ Increase.—Thirty-seven were baptized during the year; 10 otherwise received— an increase of 47. Had we been less anxious as to quality, we could easily have doubled that number. This year we have added the first fruits from amongst the native population—the 108 members being mostly immigrants. “ Self-supporting Efforts,—(1) The problem of self-support must remain unsolved b o long as pitiless penury prevails. Still, the principle has been unflinchingly upheld. The cultivation scheme again failed, for only some 17s. 6d. were realised from over 40 acres of land. Immediately before a promising harvest a heavy hailstorm battered down the wheat, and so our ‘ glebe land ’ sadly failed. Another plan was started— the distribution of collecting boxes. At the dedication service on Christmas morning these boxes were opened, and the sum of £2 9s. 9d. handed to the church—making a total of £5 5s. lid . for the year. (2) Two new stations have been opened, and two new chapels built. The Christians contributed towards these buildings, in labour and material, the equivalent of £4 10s. 7d. There are now twelve such ‘ mud-battened ’ bethels, that possess a peculiar significance, although unconspicuous. “ Self-government.—(1) Appointment of a native pastor, in November, was a de­ cided step towards that autonomy so essential to vitality. Sun-Han-C’hing is a man of exceptional and John-like character, one well fitted to lead the people who have selected him to be gladly and honourably supported by themselves. (2) The appoint­ ment of four elders to supervise the little groups of Christians in the various districts was another step toward strengthening the Belf-autonomy of the'church, developing the resources of the Christians in the service of Christ. WOKK AMONGST WOMEN AND GIRLS. Mrs. Moir Duncan reports :— “ Girls' Boarding School.—Last year I mentioned how three of the senior girls, when conferring with each other on how to get their unconverted school-fellows to come out for Christ, determined to set apart more time for special prayer on t.hia behalf. They have been abundantly answered. In June last, at the close of a special evangelistic meeting, one of the senior girls was spoken to, and professed conversion. She had often wept over her sins, and prayed for forgiveness, but not till the day in question could she find peace. This happened during the summer vacation, so, when her school-fellows returned, they soon saw a great change in Miss Cheng, for her one- 1896.] ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. 65 time sad face beamed, and her hitherto obstinate tongue was unloosed, and employed in proclaiming the new-found joy of her heart. Her fellow-Christians rejoiced and took courage, and many of their companions became anxious about their salva­ tion. Special prayer-meetings were held after school hours, when various little groups could be seen here and there pleading in'tears for forgiveness. And God heard them. Miss Yen, their pupil-teacher, was wonderfully used in speaking with them and leading them into the Light. I will not venture to number the converts, sufficient to say that six months have gone, and still many give evidence of an abiding peace and a marked change of heart. Eleven of these school-girls have applied for baptism ; three have been received, the others having been asked to wait in order that they may be further tested. Another of the .fruits of this revival is the formation of a ‘ Christian Endeavour.’ The girls first arranged amongst them­ selves (unknown to us) to form a ‘ One Accord Association,’ which name was after­ wards changed. A Sunday-school has been formed, too, with senior scholars for teachers, and juniors and outsiders for scholars. , “ To their studies they still give satisfactory diligence, and show a higher average in their examinations than most of our boys’ schools. Many of the forty-six have now been nearly four years in attendance, and the fact that the parents of most of them are Willing to send them for another term or more is a pleasing testimony to the influence of Christianity, for be it remembered that these girls are badly missed from their spinning-wheels. “ The Women.—The women we still seek - to reach through the three avenues mentioned last year—viz., weekly Bible-classes ; bi-monthly conferences ; and special classes for promising women. “ 1. Weekly Bible-classes.—Last year these classes were held in two centres, and * had a united roll of fifty-eight; this year another centre has been added, and now the names number seventy-five. In two of these places the women have read and heard explained the "whole of Matthew s Gospel (excepting the genealogical table in Chapter I.), and have commenced the Gospel of John. “ One fruit of this work is seen in the look of intelligence which distinguishes the women of this district from their less favoured neighbours. And I trust, too, that the hearts of some of them have been changed, though I have not yet seen the harvest I long and pray for. Five of their number have been baptized during the year. “ 2. Bi-monthly Conferences.—These have been continued, as last year, at several centres. The women here and in the distant stations are asked to prepare as much as they can of a given curriculum, including reading and repetition of Scripture, hymns, and catechism. Once in two months I endeavour to visit the different centres, and examine as well as teach them. In this branch of the work I see much to encourage me, and meet with constant evidence that the good seed so faithfully sown between times by our good Pastor Sun is bringing forth fruit. At present 147 women in all are reading more or less with fair regularity, •.others by fits and starts. “ 3. Special Classes.—This year thirty-four women accepted our invitation to attend a week’s class for special instruction. Mr. Morgan, my husband, Sun, »Lin, and our girls’ pupil-teacher all helped me. The women were happy, attentive, and appreciative, and I think greatly benefited by their lessons on the Life of Christ, Parables, Old Testament History, and important doctrinal subjects—principally regeneration. “ B a p tis m s During the year sixteen women and three school-girls have been baptized, one of them the first female convert from among the natives of this province. Many are interesting cases but space forbids details. r 6 * GG OliE HUNDRED AND .FOURTH REPORT. [1896.

SHANGHAI. CHRISTIAN LITERATURE FOR CHINA.

The following report from the Rev. Timothy Richard, written from Peking, gives a graphic account of the object of his visit to the capital. With regard to the Missionary Memorial for presentation to the Emperor, it may be well to explain its inception, nature, and object. In the year 1890, a general conference pf all the Protestant mission­ aries in China was held in Shanghai. . Preparations for this meeting had been made during several years previous, and when the time arrived 446 out of t%ie whole number of missionaries, scattered in all parts of China, were able to assemble in this city. The meetings continued twelve * days. Many important subjects came up for discussion and action. Among these was the preparation of a memorial to the throne, explaining the nature of Christian missions and their relation to the Chinese Government. After discussion it was finally resolved that:— “ Whereas the late republication, and the wide distribution, of grave charges against Christian missions, tending to arouse dangerous riotB, have been brought to the notice of the Conference, and : Whereas some of the chief authorities of the Empire have expressed a desire to be more fully informed of our aims and purposes, we recommend that a committee* consisting of seven persons, be appointed by this Conference to prepare! an address for presentation to the Chinese Government to the following effect:— “ I. To thank the Government for the protection it has given us in the. past. “ II. To lay before the Government the false charges made against us* pokting ont the danger of serious consequences unlesB their circulation be. prohibited. III. To pray the Government to take effective measures to check the circulation of these false charges, and to make known throughout tha Empire the truth in the case. 1896.] ONE HUNDBED AND FOURTH BEPOBT. 67

“ IY. To state what we do believe and teach, showing that everywhere we incolcate loyalty, peace, and charity; and that in all our work we seek nothing but the best interests of China and the Chinese.” In pursuance of this design of the Conference, the committee appointed prepared a statement, which they have presented to the high officers of the Central Government in Peking, praying them in turn to Bubmit it to His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of China, with the request that he will instruct the governors and high officials of the provinces to issue through their subordinate magistrates suitable proclamations, so that the literary classes and all intelligent men who are able to read, and com­ petent to form a judgment on such matters, may clearly understand the truthfulness and beneficent nature of the doctrines of Christianity, and their tendency to conserve the best interests of the Chinese nation. The report of Mr. Richard is as follows :— “ I had fully intended to have left China in the beginning of 1895, but finding that the Chinese were utterly unable to cope with the Japanese, I was drawn into correspondence and interviews with the two great viceroys, Li Hung Chang and Chang Chih Tung, and the peace envoy Chang Yin Hwan, and I felt it was my duty to stay on and give what help I could to China. “ But my chief work was the extension of the work of the Society for the Diffu­ sion of Christian and General Knowledge among the Chinese. “ So long ago as 1890, the General Conference of Missionaries held in Shanghai declared that unless something was done to remove the cause of Mission troubles we would be certain to have serious massacres. In consequence of this a Committee was appointed to draw up an apologia for the Chinese Government. I was one of the men elected on that committee. This year another shorter memorial was drawn up by twenty of the senior missionaries of the leading missionary societies. The Rev. John Wherry, D.D., and myself were empowered to present these documents to the Chinese Government. So I proceeded to Peking for this object. “ The British and American Ministers introduced us to the Chinese Foreign Office, when we presented the documents to the Chinese Ministers. An edict (a private one) was issued authorising the Chinese ministers of this Foreign Office to negotiate with us about means by which future Mission troubles may be avoided. We had four public interviews with the Foreign Office, and the Chinese ministers, we are thankful to report, were very reasonable and anxious to meet our wishes. The Manchus were the chief obstructors. However, it was understood that the Foreign Office had decided to ask the Emperor to grant our memorial’s request, and we had several congratulations from those in the Government, but for some unaccountable reason the edict which was to grant our request did not appear. “ After that we learnt that the cause of its non-appearance was the French minister. He interviewed them on the subject for five weary hours, till the Chinese ministers were dead tired and had to lie down on their couches for a long time after the interview to recover their strength. The technical ground of opposition was that the proper persons to deal with such questions were the Foreign ministers, and not the missionaries. If our plan were granted Mission troubles would cease, and French power in China would vanish as the Pope desired it ten years ago I The last sentence, of course, he did not say; but my informants tell me that such was the drift of the opposition. 68 ONE HUNDRED AXD TOUliTH REPORT. [1 8 9 6 ;

4i Since then we have been in the Foreign Office, and the Chinese continued to show t’leir real friendliness. At the interview they asked an important question, and requested that we should put in writing1 what we said to them, as they considered our answers important and wished to keep on record. In these papers we enter into the principle cf religious liberty and its results, as shown historically among various nations. That is how far our negotiations have proceeded as yet. We have much cause of gratitude to God for this open mind which several of the high ministers have. May the good prevail. “ Meanwhile, less important personages have given me a very kind welcome to Peking—giving more than one public dinner. One of the Secretaries of the Privy Council has rendered very valuable voluntary services in drawing up the State documents. The ‘ young China ’ of Peking has started a public paper of its own—a thing- unheard of before in all the long annals of China. All former Chinese papers were in foreign concessions. This is on Chinese soil and in the very capital. The Rev. Gilbert Reid and myself were among the guests on the opening day. The editor is a religious reformer, strongly sympathizing with Christian work. He often comes to me to talk over his plans. “ Not only the young people of China, even the old have been friendly also. Weng Tun Ho, the Prime Minister (practically) of China, asked me to draw up what I would consider the proper reform scheme for China. This I did. It is now printed and in circulation among the high ministers. The Viceroy, Li Hung Chang, I often see. The Emperor’s present tutor, Sun Kia Nai, who is between sixty and seventy years of age, is reading one of my books daily with the Emperor. During the last few months here I have availed myself of the acquaintance of these high mandarins, and sent them from time to time some of our best Christian books so as to keep Christianity in their minds. “ The Reform Club here ordered some hundreds of the publications of our Society for the Diffusion of Christian and General Knowledge, so as to have them on sale at their book depot. This is also an unheard-of thing before in China, to have Chinese mandarins—for most of them are mandarins—selling Christian Chinese literature. It is the Lord’s doing, for which we give thanks, and hope for still more progress.” It is anticipated that Mr. Richard will arrive in England not later than July next, and we trust that while at home he will visit a large number of our churches, and do much to increase and deepen the interest of our churches and congregations in the marvellous work being carried on in China to-day, especially in connection with the preparation and circulation of Chinese Christian literature.

Last week they were marched through the city, crying out, ‘ Death to the Christians,’ and stones were thrown at the chapel and school. The state of the country is such that I cannot go about without being molested myself.” The school work, however, has been carried on all through the year, and the attendance of the children, notwithstanding the very unsettled and excited condition of the city, has been remarkably good and regular. The mothers’ meeting conducted by Mrs. El Karey has also been well attended, the mothers evidently gratefully appreciating the labours of both Mr. and Mrs. El Karey.

The following reports of the work of the past year indicate real progress, and cannot fail to inspire the churches at home with a deeper interest in this noble enterprise. A growing appreciation of the value of education, a deeper sense of individual responsibility for the spread of the Truth on the part of native Christians, and enlarged liberality in meeting the expenses of native pastoral and evangelistic labour— surely all these experiences call for devout thankfulness for the present, and glad expectancy for the future. In July last the General Secretary had the honour, at a special audience, to present to His Majesty King Leopold, Sovereign of the Congo Free State, the first copy of Mr. Holman Bentley’s Appendix to the Congo Grammar and Vocabulary, which His Majesty very graciously received, and subsequently acknowledged by a special letter expressive of his high appreciation of the valuable services rendered by Mr. Bentley to the Congo State. The Secretary also, at the same interview, received from the King for the Rev. George Grenfell, the Patent of Mr. Grenfell’s appointment as a Chevalier Knight of the Order of the Golden Lion, and the insignia of the Order set in brilliants, with the request that he would forward the same to Mr. Grenfell, in recognition of the valuable services rendered by Mr. Grenfell in connection with the Delimitation of the Southern Frontier of the Congo Kingdom. The past yearJIwill also be memorable as the year of the selection and foundation of the new fo r w ar d statio n at Tukusu, or Lindi Mouth, the details of which will be found a few pages further on, by the establishment of which the chain of Mission stations from the Atlantic to the interior has been completed. 1896.] " ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. 71 LOWER CONGO RIYER,

UNDERHILL STATION. During the past year the work at Underhill Station has been more than usually heavy and exacting, and the absence in England of Mr. Pinnock and Mr. Pople has greatly increased the burden resting upon Mr. Lawson Forfeitt and his colleague, Mr. Stephens. Mr. Bell, who remained a few days at Underhill, before starting for Wathen Station, wrote :— “ I do not think our friends at home have any true idea of the very arduous and often most depressing' nature of the work to be done at Underhill. There is one continual round of unloading steamers, loading and unloading caravans, and nursing missionaries on their way home—who seem invariably to have a fever when they reach here—from early mom till late at night. There are manifestly not the encouragements which other missionaries have—bales and books are not very responsive. Still, I must say our friends here do not grumble; they know their work is by no means the least important in the Mission, and that work which is done so much in secret, ‘ the Father, who seeth in secret, shall reward openly.’ I have no doubt, however, it would be a source of great stimulus if they knew more definitely their work was being specially remembered in the public and private prayers of those at home.” One satisfactory feature of the past year has been the progress made with the Congo railway from Matadi to Stanley Pool. The Rev. J. R. M. Stephens writes :— “ To obtain carriers has always been an anxiety, but this is a difficulty which, we trust will become less and less. The railway is now open for passenger and goods traffic as far as the Luvu—fifty miles from Matadi—thus saving between two and three days’ arduous road travelling. “ Negotiations have now been concluded whereby all our up-country goods are conveyed from the steamer direct to the Luvu, and stores have been erected there for warehousing. “ These arrangements, it is hoped, will facilitate our transport work greatly, and enable loads to be got through more rapidly to the Pool. “ It is expected that the line will be in good working order as far as Kimpese by May, 1896, a distance of one hundred miles, and the entire distance to Stanley Pool will be completed within three years from this date. When this is done, the condi­ tions of our work here will be revolutionised. Goods and missionaries will be conveyed by railway from here to Stanley Pool in three or four days, saving three or four weeks—which is now done on foot—to say nothing of the long delays in waiting before we can get carriers, with Berious risk to person and health. Financially it will probably be no saving : the tariff will be £40 per ton from Matadi to Stanley Pool, and passenger fare £20. The Luva River is thirty-six miles from Underhill, over an exceedingly bad road; in fact, by far the worst between here and Stanley Pool. The railway authorities have undertaken to carry our loads to the Luva River, and provide a shed capable of holding 1,000 loads, and to take it down and re-erect it as the railway proceeds from stage to stage, and this will mean the carriers will presently not come here for loads at all, but take them from the Luva 72 ONE Ht-NDBED AND IOURTH BEPOET. [1896;

Eiver, and so a new scale of pay and rations will have to be drawn up. Nlemvo is coming down here from Wathen to give out loads, and I shall have to organise matters and put tbem on right lines to begin with.”

Until the return of Mr. Pinnock Mr. Stephens 'will take up the work at Kimpese, receiving goods from the railway, and organising arrange­ ments for carriers in view of the altered conditions ; and in this work Mr. Beedham will probably be associated with Mr. Stephens. Notwithstanding heavy responsibility and specially hard work, we are thankful to report that Mr. and Mrs. Lawson Forfeitt and Mr. Stephens have maintained good health. Encouraging reports reach us as to the daily evangelistic services, the school carried on by Mrs. Forfeitt, and the Sunday services and Sunday- school. Referring to the great need for reinforcements, Mr. Stephens writes :—

“ Doors are open and the paths have been made, stations are built, the steamers are running, and much of the machinery for different work has been found, and the necessary system for the conduct of the Mission developed, and now the great need certainly is men, more men. “ Our present machinery and system would stand the strain of an increase of thrice the staff. “ I am struck by the fact that the number of the missionaries on the roll to-day shows no increase over three years ago. “ To remain as we are is a waste of power. We must go forward. O h ! that more young men would volunteer for this glorious cause ! “ Sometimes, as I have stood in the little graveyard and marked the resting-places of those who have passed on before, who have laid down their lives in this service, I feel as if I wanted a clarion tongue to call the young men at home to consecrate—to dedicate the mselves to the advancement of this noble enterprise in this dark land.”

SAN SALYADOR STATION-

At this station there is an evident work of grace in the hearts of numbers of the people, specially in the outlying villages and towns. The Rev. H. Ross Phillips writes :—

“ You will, I know, rejoice with us when I tell you that recently I had the joy of baptizing thirteen candidates, all of whom have given very satisfactory evidence of the genuineness of their professions. And what is to us still more encouraging is the largely increasing desire in the towns visited by the church members every Sunday to know more of the GospeL The numbers of those coming to inquire is rapidly on the increase. Only last week two women came from a town in which nothing more than a general and superficial interest has been taken in the instruction of the native Christians who visit the town. I have only just returned from an itineration in the Mackinlay district, and the people everywhere received me heartily—not so much the welcome given to the white man, or curiosity concerning him, but there was evident pleasure evinced at my coming to teach them the GospeL 1896.J ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. 73

In the last town I visited before returning to San Salvador the people came in the morning and said, ‘ Now you have come here to-day, won’t you send us some one every Sunday to teach us ? ’ I said I would give the matter consideration, and ask the Christians about it. I brought it up the same evening at my class for the native evangelists visiting the towns ; and we are now arranging for some one to visit them every Sunday. “ This town was visited in years gone by by Messrs. Comber, Weeks, and others ; and one of the church members told me that he had been, but the people said they did not want him, as they wanted to follow their country customs and have witch palavers. It is, therefore, all the more encouraging that now they desire so earnestly to be taught the G-ospel. The church member who went yesterday said he had a splendid welcome and a large crowd to the service. I cannot help feeling that we are going to see shortly a very widespread movement in these outlying towns. “ May I give the churches one fact which should inspire them with greater energy and fill their hearts with abundant thanksgiving ? I can hardly believe it as I write i t ; and yet, despite discouragements and some who have gone back and are no longer numbered with us, we have not only completed the first hundred members but have now actually commenced the second hundred. There are now exactly 101 members in full fellowship here. It is but just eight years since we com­ menced. “ There were several items of interest in connection with the thirteen I recently baptized which I should like to mention. “ With one exception, all the candidates in this town are able to read for them­ selves the Word of God, and have had more or less instruction in the school. “ One girl—Keluve, a daughter of the king—gave such a bright testimony as to what she did endure for Christ. Her father, in two instances, tried to get her to become the wife of polygamists, but in both instances she positively refused, saying^ ‘ I cannot give up Jesus, father. I must obey Him ; and He teaches me that it will be wrong to do this thing.1 The king was very angry, and told her to go, and her mother, out of his lumbra, and pay back all the money that he, the king, had received in the palaver. It happened that just then, in consequence of another matter which the king did not want us to take to the Resident but settle quietly, we were enabled to intercede successfully for the girl and her mother. But we were very glad to see the determined stand that the girl took, that, come what would, she was going to obey Jesus rather than men. “ Four years ago I baptized the first convert from any of the surrounding towns— a young man from Tekunda. He has been a very consistent and earnest Christian, and we now rejoice with him over the first-fruits of his work for the Master. I baptized two women from Tekunda, who were brought to Jesus through his labours. “ Two more of the candidates are the first-fruits from Kimpese, where we have one of our institutions. One of them is the chief of the town, Nelongalasia Sengele For a long time past he has given evidence that the Gospel had taken root in hi; heart, and in a quiet and unobtrusive way has done much to commend the Gospel to the people of his town. All his influence has been given to help on the work. I expect very shortly that Mr. Graham will have to baptize several more from the town. The last candidate, Mbundu, is from Kialundwa—a boy who was for a long time with us ; I took him into the lumbra about the year 1888, and while he was

with u b he was supported by the young friends in Todmorden Sunday-school, York­ shire. The great feature of interest in his case is that the people of his own town have spontaneously agreed to support him as their school teacher, and he is now engaged in the work. I feel sure that Todmorden friends will be glad to hear that 74 ONE HUNDBED AND FOURTH BEPOBT. [1896.

their labours have at last borne fruit—seed sown seen after many days. I hope, too, it will encourage the fainting hearts of many who get discouraged so soon—as letters to us testify—if they do not see immediate fruit to their efforts.” In July next we hope the Rev. Thos. and Mrs. Lewis will be returning to San Salvador; and their presence and help will be most timely and welcome, and enable the work in this district, now so full of promise, to be extended still further afield.

WATHEN, OR NGOMBE, STATION- The following report, from the Rev. W. Holman Bentley, indicates steady growth and a large measure of success :—

“ The year 1895 has been marked by good progress, and most interesting develop­ ments of the w ork; but while we have cause for joy and thankfulness on this account, we have also had our sorrows. We have lost two of the staff of the station by death. “ Dr. Webb left Wathen in the early part of the year in better health than he had known for years, but was stricken down with fever on his homeward journey, near to Matadi, and died at sea. On the 4th of December, Philip Davies, B.A., passed away after a few days of fever. His health had been far from good ever since his return to the Congo in M ay; he had not been able to shake off a very severe attack of influenza contracted in England a few months before coming out. “ Mr. John Bell, A.T.S., has come to take the place rendered vacant by the death of Dr. Webb, arriving at the end of October. We look anxiously and earnestly for a brother to take up the work of Mr. Davies.

“N a t i v e C h u e c h . ‘ During the year eighteen have joined the church by baptism, one member has died, and one has been transferred to the church at San Salvador. The church-roll numbers forty-nine. “E vangelistic W o r k . “ The greater part of the evangelistic work has been done by the church members themselves, and by the evangelists supported by the church. E v e b y c h u b c h m e m b e r is e x p e c t e d t o e n g a o e i n C h b i s t i a n w o r k . The growth of the church has enabled us to widen and extend this activity. The native Christians visit the district to a distance of two or three hours from the station every Sunday morning, starting at sunrise ; from time to time more extended tours are taken. “ The most Encouraging and interesting work done by native Christians is that associated with the name of Bukusu, of Tungwa. Returning to his town after three and a-half years in our school at Wathen, he commenced to hold a Bervice every evening in his house and a small school. Prom this humble begixming the work has grown, until last August I baptized five in the Tungwa River, in the presence of a large crowd. Of those baptized, four could read their New Testament intelligently. This is all the outcome of Bukusu’s work. He is now assisted in evangelistic work by these new members, and they have at present sixty scholars in their school. At the time of writing this I am preparing for another visit to Tungwa to baptize oth All this work is absolutely voluntary, and no pay of any sort is received i > , i Mission or the church. “ Another of our boys, encouraged by the blessing on Bukusu’s work, co > • > 1896.] ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPOST. 75 to do the same in his own town, and already interest has been awakened in the hearts of some. Another, in a small town, has a little school of ten, and is letting his light shine. We are now beginning to see the results of our work.

“ E vangelistic O u t p o s t s o f t h e C h u e c h . “ it is clearly understood that all expenses incurred in evangelistic work on the part of the natives is to be met by the native church; it is in no way chargeable to the Mission. It follows, then, that no native pastors or evangelists are paid by the Mission. “ Four outposts have been supported by the church during the year. The evan­ gelists in charge visit the towns round them, and do what they can in school work, as well as the dispensing of a few simple medicines. The church buys the medicine from the Mission, and the evangelists are instructed to charge for their medicine and to hand the fees over to the church treasury. In this way one of the evangelists has returned to the church more than his allowance as an evangelist, and his outpost is more than self-supporting. At each of the outposts there is a box to receive contri­ butions from those who wish to give to God’s work, or to show their appreciation of the teaching imparted. “ We are thus running things on a sound financial basis, and in this way we are rendering possible a large extension of the work as soon as the teachers are sufficiently trained. “ The expenses of the church have been heavy this year, and, when making up the accounts a few days ago, we expected to find that the church had drawn heavily upon its reserve fund, but instead, to our surprise, a balance was found in favour of the church to the extent of 146 brass rods (Frs. 14*60). The reserve fund now stands at £37 7s. 6d., a nice little sum out here. It emboldens all to undertake new w ork; we purpose doing so at once. “ One most encouraging feature of these outposts and voluntary work is the large numbers who will gather night by night to the services after the evening meal has been eaten. In some places from 50 to 100 people will gather for a simple service held by the evangelist or Christian worker—singing, prayer, reading of Scripture, and an address, so that often in our district 150 to 200 will be listening to the Gospel at eight o’clook in the evening (if it is fine). In this way, also, a really good work is being done. “ We are hoping to baptize several candidates at three of these outposts very shortly. “S c h o o l W o e k . “ We have had an average of 150 scholars at the station school; of these, nine are girls. In 1895, nine out of the eighteen baptized are scholars; we are looking to them to supply us with teachers for several new outposts. “ Bukusu and his assistants, in their voluntary school at Tungwa, have sixty scholars; I examined over forty, one by one, last August. Ponde, another young man of Tungwa, is evangelist at Mbanza Makuta. He has twenty-eight scholars. Ten scholars in another voluntary school, and twenty-five at two outposts, complete the list.

evening, and the work is carried on with spirit and interest. It is much liked, and attended by all the station folk, as well as by some people from the neighbouring towns. “ S e r v i c e s . “ A daily service is held every day at eight o’clook in the morning, conducted by the missionary staff, and once a week by one of the church members. “ On Sunday morning, the missionaries and church members are away in the towns, and the morning service is conducted by Mrs. Bentley. In the afternoon there is an address and prayer-meeting, which constitutes the service of the day. The Sunday- school follows a little later. Mrs. Bentley conducts a class for Bible study on Wednesday evening, and church members conduct services three times a week among the boys on their own account. “ P r e s s . “ When our printers came back from their work at the Antwerp Exhibition, the press was arranged and the new type distributed. We have printed an appendix to our hymn-book, church rules, &c., beside sundry small work ; and we are now busy with a large edition (2,000) of our revised hymn-book, the preparation of which has taken a great deal of time. We axe also setting-up Mrs. Bentley’s ‘ Vocabulary and Conversation Book ’ in Kongo, French, Portuguese, and Dutch, which should be ready shortly. ' ~ “ S c h o o l -h o u s e . “ After many delays, through the difficulties of transport, we were able to com­ mence the construction of the school-house and dormitory, which was given to us by the late Sir Charles Wathen. It is now complete, with the exception of the lining of the roof and some fittings for the beds. These will be very soon set right. -It .was opened last June. We are indeed thankful to have such a commodious building after the great inconveniences of the crowded dining-room which had so long to Berve for school and chapel. “ The work is full of interest and hope ; we worked hard and long, with very little to see for i t ; but now comes the time of the fruit-bearing, and the joy of harvest has succeeded to the long slow processes of the growing season. We invite our friends to share our joy.” The names of Dr. Webb and the Rev. Philip Davies, B.A., will long linger in the hearts of the people in the Wathen district. “ They were both,” writes a Congo missionary, “ able, devoted, and godly men. They lived Christ— they were unselfish, self-denying men. Their removal is a supreme mystery— but it must be well—and what we know not now we shall know in the hereafter.” Mr. Bell, of Regent’s Park College, was sent out to fill the vacancy caused, by Dr. Webb’s removal; and Mr. Frame, of Brighton Grove College, Manchester, will be leaving in May to occupy the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Davies. TH E UPPER CONGO R IY E R . STANLEY POOL STATION. From this station, which may be called the gate of the Upper Congo, the following report from the Rev. J. L. Roger has been received :—. X 8 9 6 .] ONE HTTNDBED AND FOURTH BEPOBT. 77

“ During the year we have been busy both with, spiritual and secular work. “ Building.—We have been very active in making bricks, and in building. 70,000 bricks have been turned out by the school lads. By selling part o f these, we have nearly cleared the working expenses of tbis station for the year. A large brick house has been built; others have been finished. “ School.—The school work has been carried on by Mrs. Roger and myself; the lads have made good progress in reading, writing, and arithmetic; many of the boys show great ability in learning, and seem anxious to know more of the Book. Since Mr. and Mrs. Gordon’s arrival, he has taken over school work. “ Spiritual work.—The services on Sundays and during the week have been well attended, and many have shown good signs that they are seeking to find out more of God’s love. My weekly Bible-class of Christians has increased from ten to fifteen; the young lads show great interest in the lessons, and their wise questions are a proof they are understanding the doctrines they are taught. We have had the pleasure of baptizing two native converts during the year, Batoba and Mazazi, two very bright Christian lads. A good deal of evangelistic work has been done in the district. The church members and other Christians go out two and two to the near towns to preach the Gospel. We have not seen much result yet; but who can tell what these young heralds of the Cross, whose hearts are full of love and enthusiasm for Christ, will do in this part of the dark, dark continent ? It is for us to prepare the soil and sow the good seed in faith and hope, and the Lord will give the increase. Having been here alone during Mr. Gordon’s furlough, I have not been able myself to visit the towns in the back as often as I should have liked; but once, as a missionary was passing through,, we were enabled to go away back for a few days, and the people received us very heartily. “ I must tell you of the great encouragement we have had in the Sunday collec­ tions during the year. We have collected 5,501 brass rods—£5 14s. 7d. The amount of self-denial the lads have manifested has been something marvellous ; often they give their ration money on a Sunday evening, and then go without meat during the week. Here, at Stanley Pool, where food is so scarce, it is really wonderful how faithful our boys keep to us—not one has left. “ As this is principally a transport station, much of our time has been taken up with the business of receiving and shipping goods, beside much correspondence with the Congo Free State Government oflicials.” The Rev. S. C. and Mrs. Gordon have returned to Stanley Pool, and resumed work there, much to the joy of Mr. and Mrs. Roger.

BOLOBO STATION.

HARBOUR FOR MISSION STEAMERS “PEACE” AND “GOODWILL.”

Daring the past year Mr. and Mrs. Scrivener have removed from Lukolela to this station, where they will be joined by Mr. Clark on the conclusion of his furlough. Miss de Hailes is also stationed here. Bolobo has been well described as “ the dockyard of the Cqngo Mission,” for here the Peace and Goodwill steamers find a convenient harbour. Brethren G$g. Grenfell and S. N• Field have charge of the Mission Fleet, 78 ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. [1896. and during the current year will be assisted by Mr. John Howell, who takes the place formerly occupied by Mr. Harrison. Mr. Glennie is also working at this station. Mr. Scrivener writes :—

“ Morning school is conducted under Mr. Glennie's supervision by Ntoni, a San Salvador lad, once the personal attendant of the late Mr. Silvey; and Miss de Hailes has commenced school-work in one or two centres in the villages adjoining the station, going every morning in a boat for that purpose. In the afternoon she conducts a school for the girls living on the station, a much-needed work. Every evening but Tuesday a service is conducted in my dining-room for the boys and girls and youths of the station, which I hope will be fruitful of good results. Occasionally we have an evening with the magic-lantem, which is deservedly very popular, and never fails to draw a large audience. Perhaps the most important meeting of the week is that of the service on Sunday mornings. A large number of men engaged here are generally present. These men come from Bopoto, Monsembi Bonginda, Lulanga, Equator, and Lukolela, and speak a variety of languages, but all understand some Bobangi, and thus are able to profit, we hope, by the ‘ hear­ ing of the Word,’ and learn to love that which now they have heard. We have recently had laxge crowds in the towns at the services, which have been re-started, and which we hope soon to make much more effective. On Sunday afternoons a Sunday-school is conducted, like the morning service, alternately by Mr. Glennie and myself. For the past few weeks Mr. Field has conducted the evening service on Sunday, but all the other meetings are conducted by Mr. Glennie or myself. “ Miss de Hailes being able to give her whole attention to Mission work, I am very hopeful that soon we shall have a better hold on the people.”

The opening of the new brick-built school-house, erected under the superintendence of Mr. John Howell, has been the occasion of much joy to the workers at this station. In the words of Mr. Grenfell: “ Bolobo is a splendid centre for missionary work, and we are anticipating that school and training work will be more systematically pursued now that our staff of workers has been reinforced.” The past year has been a very busy one for the two steamers, Peace and Goodwill, and Mr. Grenfell and Mr. Field have been constantly on the move. The prospecting for a suitable site for the new “ Sargent Station ” has been brought to a satisfactory conclusion, and there is a good prospect that the position decided upon will prove a valuable base for farther and future work towards the interior.

LUKOLELA STATION.

In consequence of the repressive measures adopted by the officials of the Congo Government, %nd the consequent alarm created in the minds of the Lukolela peoples, nearly the whole of the population in the town and immediate district crossed over to the North Bank of the Congo River 1896] ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT« 79 into Frenoh territory, leaving Lukolela almost deserted. Under these circumstances, it appeared the wisest course to the brethren in council for Messrs. Scrivener, Clark, and Whitehead to remove from Lukolela, leaving it in charge of Lusala, a native Christian evangelist. The Rev. George Grenfell writes :— “ When it was decided by us that Lukolela was no longer a suitable place for a station, in consequence of the flight of the population, Mr. Scrivener thought of many other places as possible fields for his future work; but as every alternative was away from the direct line of steamer communication, it was felt that no other position better than Bolobo was available for the TTan-na.li Wade printing press, and the printing press being Mr. Scrivener’s special work, his destination seemed to be settled at the same time. It certainly does not seem suitable to have the printing press up some by-creek or channel, inaccessible except by some special journey. The Goodwill has already brought down two loads of stores of building material from Lukolela to Bolobo, and Mr. Scrivener is putting up a building to serve—ultimately as a printing office—until a more suitable one can be secured as a dwelling-house. It has been arranged that Mr. Clark should join us here, and our station staff will then be three—Mr. Scrivener, Mr. Clark, and Mr. Glennie, and being experienced men, and experts at the language, I am very sanguine that the splendid opportunities furnished by Bolobo may ere long be more adequately responded to than has been possible in the past. I am hoping also that the Committee will give their consent to Mr. Whitehead joining Mr. White in the founding of the new ‘ Sargent Station.’ ” The evacuation of Lukolela has been to the brethren associated in work there a bitter disappointment, but, under the circumstances, it appeared quite unavoidable. The Eev. John Whitehead, who remains at Lukolela until he has completed his dictionary and grammar of the Bobangi language, thus refers to the work of the past year :—

“ It is difficult to report concerning Lukolela without strong feelings of sorrow and pain. Our oldest station beyond Stanley Pool is to be evacuated. It is a beautiful Btation, planted in a forest clearing on the banks of the river. The fruit treeB—mangos, guavas, maracujas, limes, oranges, citrons, soursops, palms, pawpaws, lilacs, acacias, pineapples, plantains—planted by Mr. Scrivener, are to be left. Five years ago there were 2,000 people here; now it would be difficult to count 200 all told. Their belief in ghoBts and witches and charms fetter every possibility of their emanci­ pation from sin and death. Look at the last bit of superstition. A man, whose name was 1 Giant ’—and he was a very big fellow, indeed—traded largely in food stuffs. He took cold, and he was seized with rigors. They applied their medicines and methods; the wim died. A person, of no significance whatever, had a dream, which explained the death to have been caused by ghosts, which were angry with Giant for selling things dearly. A law was made, and immediately food, which had come down to skeleton rations, became cheaper ; loaves of cassava bread became at once double in size. The effect of the ghosts on the price of food still continues. One day I spoke so one of our workmen, who was sitting in the cold wind on a rainy day. I advised his going home and changing his wet cloth for a dry one, but he said : ‘ There’s no palaver; people don’t die because of a cold wind.’ ‘ But where do people get coughs from ? ’ ‘ Oh,’ said he, ‘ they get them by being bewitched by some witch.’ “ After the press is removed to Bolobo, where it will be under Mr. Scrivener’s care, | may remain at Lukolela a little while to finish my literary work, and after that it 7 80 ONE HUNDRED A>’D FOURTH BErOBT. [1896.

is intended to leave the station for a time in charge of Lusala Kavundi, who has made himself a most useful assistant to us.” Notwithstanding the special difficulties of Lukolela and the gross super­ stition of the people, there has been some success in the work. Mr. White­ head writes:— “ Among the lads we have had fru it; five were baptized during the year, and just recently the first woman stood up and publicly confessed her faith in the Saviour. She is the widow of a very promising young printer, who was killed by a huge crocodile. She gives us great satisfaction by her consistent conduct.”

THE HANNAH WADE PRINTING PRESS. This printing press, which has been of the utmost service to the Congo Mission, is now being erected at Bolobo Station, and will be again under the superintendence of Mr. Scrivener. Reporting upon the work turned out by the press during the past year, Mr. Whitehead reports “ Our boys in the printing office have been fairly well kept in work during the year. All sorts of odd work has been done for traders and others They have bound very creditably about 120 books of magazines and other kinds for our brethren. “ The list of books printed and bound for use by the natives iB as follows :— “ In Bobangi: 450 ‘ Njembo li bonyambe’ (sacred songs), 123 hymns, &c., 100 pp.) crown 8vo. “ 200 ‘ Njembo ’ (for Bolobo), 4 pp., crown 8vo. “ 250 ‘ Ncango ndamo lisonibwi na Malako ’ (Gospel by Mark), 60 pp., crown 8vo. “ 450 ‘ Montana mo boso mo tanga ’ (first reading bcok), 66 pp., demy 8vo. “ In Bonsembi: written by Messrs. Weeks and Stapleton :— “ 60 ‘ Nsangu Yandau ya Jizu Masiya yakomaka Matai1 (Gospel by Matthew), 84 pp., crown 8vo. This had a little appendix, explanatory of references to Jewish customs, &c. “ 60 ‘ Yoko mpo ya Libanza mpe ya Jizu Masiya7 (stories of God and Jesus Christ), 3G pp., demy 8vo. “ 60 ‘ Mpo ya Abalayama, Ysaka, Yakoba, Yosepa’ (stories of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph), 60 pp., crown 8vo. “ For the Congo Balolo Mission :— ' “ 400 ‘ Nsango Yandoci yo kotamaki la Luka ’ (Gospel by Luke), 90 pp., crown 8vo, “ 100 ‘ Monkanda mwa itangi mwa mibale ’ (second book _ to read), 34 pp. crown 8vo. “ For the American Presbyterian Congo Mission in the Kasai:— “ 100 ‘ Kikete Primer,’ 20 pp. demy 16mo. “ We have five young men in the office : one in his fourth, two in their third, and two in their second years of apprenticeship. Our office, which was stocked by Josiah Wade, Esq., Halifax, in the first instance, has been enriched by the gift of stereotype plant by J. J. Colman, Esq., M.P., of Norwich. Our thanks are heartily tendered to him for his useful gift. “ We trust the future of the press at Bolobo will be a great one for the Master’s glory.” The cash receipts for work done by the preBS during the past year have been quite sufficient to pay for labour, materials, and all outlay incidental tg the work carried on. 1896.] ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. 81

JKONSEMBI STATION. This station, in the midst of the fierce and fighting Bangalas, was only founded in 1890, yet already good progress has been made, and the outlook for the future is hopeful. By this date Messrs. Stapleton and Stonelake will have welcomed Mr. Dodds from Bawdon College, who is to be associated with them in work at this station. Mr. Stapleton writes:— “ The year 1895 commences a new volume in the history of Monsembi. The first began when our Society opened work amongst the Bangala tribe by the founding of the station in August, 1890. The succeeding years have been spent in winning the confidence of a new people in ourselves as God’s ambassadors, in the learning of the language as the vehicle for the delivery of His message, in reducing the language to writing' in order to the translation of the Scriptures, and in the founding of a school to teach the coming generation to read these Scriptures in their own tongue. Together with the building necessary to house ourselves and our school, these years have been full of essential preparatory work. “ This year we reap the first-fruits of our labour. We have baptized our first con­ verts, and put the first translation of a Gospel into the hands of Bengala boys, who can read it perfectly. These two events make the year 1895 memorable. “ We are never likely to forget the baptismal service on the first Sunday of the year, when Salamo—a girl from a district up the Lomanie River—and three Bangala lads made public profession of their faith ; nor the first Communion service, when wfi met together with the first members of two new tribes in fellowship with our one •Lord. It was a hallowed time, full of present joy, and pregnant with hope for the future. Do you wonder that we saw in these lads the unconscious prophecy of a glad day when a host of Bangala people shall gather with the multitude no man can number and fall in-grateful worship at the feet of the all-conquering Lamb ? “ And Salamo—much didVe joy over her 1 The first of her tribe to hear the joyful sound, was she not a pledge that God would visit with His salvation that great district south of the Congo through which the Lomanie flows, as yet untouched by missionary effort ? “ One heart, we know, often re-echoes the words of the Apostle : ‘ How shall they hear without a preacher ? ’ ; and one voice is raised in eloquent and instant pleading that the preacher may be sent. Poor girl 1 in her earnestness she has often asked that, if the white man could not go, the steamer should take her up and leave her there, that at least she might tell her friends of the Saviour’s love. But, under Arab domination, most of her relatives are doubtless dead or scattered. But who will join in her plea that this great district may soon be entered by the messengers of peace ? “ Salamo’s life has been a chequered one. Some five or six years ago the Arabs made a raid on her village, firing the houses, killing the men, and capturing the women and children as they attempted to escape. She was given by the Arabs to a trader, who in turn handed her to the State officer at Stanley Falls. He gave her to Mrs. Darby, and Mrs. Darby kindly gave her to my wife. Now, when she thinks of the past, she says to us : 1 Don’t give me to anybody else; you be mother and father to me always.’ Knowing her past career, many in the town think of her as a slave still

• b o I led Salamo into the water first as a sign not only of the honourable place Christianity gives to women, but also that in Christ there is neither bond nor free. 82 ONE HUNDBED AND FOTJBTH BEPOET. [1896.

“ Salamo is a bright Christian, and a most earnest evangelist. Almost every Sunday she would marshal the boys for a service in the town, and often of an even­ ing we would hear the house-boys singing in the kitchen and Salamo pleading with them to give their hearts to the Saviour, or her voice raised in prayer on their behalf. At other times Salamo would be found B i t t in g on the verandah with some of the wild town girls, with whom she is a great favourite, telling them the old, old story. Largely to her effort, and the influence of the consistent lives of the three lads who are church members, do we gladly ascribe the fact that we have four lads meeting every Wednesday night in a special class of instruction in Christian faith and practice preparatory to baptism. “ The general work of the year may be thus summarised :— “ 1. Preaohing services.—Three preaching services have been steadily maintained all the year—one on Sunday, - another on Tuesday, and on Thursday evenings. Attendance varies considerably according to season and the state of town politics. “ 2. School work.—There are fifty names on the book, with an attendance of thirty. Considering that some of these are married women who have farms of their own to cultivate, to provide their lazy husbands with cassava, and that all the others are daughters or sisters of women who have to do the same, this attendance is exceedingly good. Mr. Stonelake and I are taking the girls’ school alternate months, until the return of one of the ladies. “ 3. Literary work.—Before going home, Mr. Weeks translated and saw through the press, at Lukolela, Matthew’s Gospel, also a small book of Scripture stories. I have written and had printed the ‘ Lives of the Patriarchs,’ and have translated the Gospel by Mark, which awaits the convenience of our printing friends. “ We have not been outside the near towns much this year, our hands having been otherwise full. However, we have succeeded in reaching for the first time the Lofembi towns in the forest, at the back of the station. Some women came in one day, and Mrs. Stapleton, in the course of a talk with them, said she would like to return their visit but that the road was too bad. They gave her a cordial invitation, and the men readily promised to put sticks over all the swampy places. Having

spent several days in the task, the men came in high glee to inform u b that the road was quite passable. “ Mrs. Stapleton could not go that day, so Mr. Stonelake and 1 paid them a visit. A few days after, my wife, accompanied by a score or so of her school-girls, went out for the whole day, having some singing and talks with the women, and hugely delighting them by eating some plantain which they cooked for her. This is but the first step, however, towards the people in the unknown territory behind us. “ Our relations with the people have been exceedingly cordial all the year. We were a good deal disturbed when, in May last, the State fought this district. Every house in Monsembi was burnt, and it was only by the most strenuous exertions that we saved some of the station buildings. Most of the people fled to the bush, and so escaped, but our house-boys found in the town, after the soldiers had gone, the right hands of two of our school-girls, which had been cut off at the wrist. For a long time the people were very unsettled. Only a few of the houses are rebuilt yet, though all the people are back, and more appear to be settling here than before. As a proof of the hold the school has on the children, the fact may be noted that—the schools were held immediately after the fight—quite a number of Mrs. Stapleton's girls came panting in every afternoon from the Lofembi towns whither they had fled for shelter. “ Our health has been splendid. I have not had a ghost of a fever this year, and Mr. Stonelake has had perfect health since a very slight attack of fever in the first month of the year. 1896.] ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. 83

“ I close this report with an expression of .thanks to friends at Derby, and at Park Chapel, Yarmouth, for definite gifts to the station this year,”

B0 P0 T0 STATION. “ Sunshine and shadow— expectation, hope, waiting, and disappoint­ ment,” wrote T. J. Comber. “ Congo missionaries know all these experiences ; but we stand by the unfailing promise—our sheet-anchor in this blessed enterprise— i My word shall not return unto Me void.’ ” The following report from the Rev. W. L. Forfeitt speaks of like experience:— “ I send you a brief report of our work at this station during the past year. Friends may perhaps remember the very encouraging tone of my letter last year concerning the hopeful signs of blessing amongst our senior lads, and I then greatly anticipated the joy of being able to report in this year’s letter several baptisms and the formation of the Bopoto Church. But, so far, it has not been granted to us to realise this long-cherished hope. The enemy has been busy, and some of our lads have yielded to sore temptation, which I fear will delay for some time the formation of a church. However, we are not utterly cast down, for our hope still centres in the promise, specially dear to every pioneer missionary : ‘ My word shall not return unto Me void,’ &c. The sowing time seems long, and is frequently attended with disappointment, but when we remember the degraded condition of the people, it is not surprising that the change is slow to come. Yet I feel firmly convinced that when the blessing does come we shall have no cause to regret the delay. In the meantime we are endeavouring to lay a good foundation, and, in so doing, our work is by no means destitute of encouragement. Could you visit us in one of our services. I think you would indeed be struck with the quiet and evident attention and interest of the people. It is the invariable remark of all visitors to our services : ‘ You have a very attentive audience,’ so that it is a real pleasure to address them, and not infrequently questions are asked relative to what has been said. “ The number of children, too, attending Sunday afternoon school is increasing. Our day-schools, both boys’ and girls’, are rejoioing in the prospect of Christmas festivities, which we hope to hold on the 26th inst., when we have again the responsibility of satisfying the appetites of some seventy children, who have qualified themselves by fairly regular attendance throughout the year. Since Mrs. Forfeitt has opened her school, a little healthy rivalry has been created between the boys and girls, and I heard the boys deploring the other day that they were being beaten in singing! Some of the boys get on well in reading, writing, and arithmetic, &c., and can work sums in simple multiplication, subtraction, division, and add up four rows of figures the whole depth of the slate. “ Of some of these lads we sometimes are led to hope great things and at others are disappointed, but perhaps we are apt to expect too great things of them. No doubt some of them have received serious impressions, which we endeavour to foster, and continue to pray that they may know ‘ His salvation.1 “ Our work has been necessarily hindered through the frequent changes in our staff during the past two years, in consequence of which evangelistic and translation work have been greatly retarded. I am still engaged on the Gospel of Luke, but hope early in the new year to complete it for the press. “ A great change has been effected in the comfort of our home during the year, by its enlargement and the addition of a verandah to three sides of it. This work my 84 ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. [1896, colleague* Mr. Kirkland, undertook, and he is now busily engaged completing his own house prior to his departure to the homeland, which he hopes to make early in the coming year.”

By this date, Mr. Kenred Smith, of Bristol College, we trust, will have reached Bopoto, to carry on the work Mr. G. D. Brown has been compelled to relinquish and to set free Mr. Kirkland for much-needed furlough in England.

THE NEW STATION AT LINDI MOUTH OR YUKUSU.

In consequence of the flight of the native population, owing to the action of the officials of the Congo Free State, it was deemed unwise to proceed further with the establishment of the Mojembo Station, at the mouth of the Mobangi River, and later, when it was proposed to open a station at Mondangn, on the Itimbiri River, the Congo Government stopped the navigation on account of the great hostility of the natives, and it still remains closed. It was then resolved to make a careful re-examination of the entire district, with a view to discover the best position, for the proposed new station, and Brethren Grenfell and White, in the Goodwill, devoted them­ selves specially to this quest. In October last, Mr. Grenfell reported : —

“ The site we have chosen, and for which we have received provisional right tQ occupy, is at the confluence of the Lindi with the Congo, some ten miles west of Stanley Falls. The Lindi is the river previously .known as the Mbura. Lindi Mouth is within an hour or so at the extreme limit of steam navigation in the direction of Lake Albert, and not only is it farther east than Yambuya on the Aruwimi, but the Lindi valley is much more fertile and thickly peopled than that of the Aruwimi, though at some points of its course it is only separated by a narrow belt of some thirty miles or so. The Lindi has a much more easterly course than is shown on the maps, and, judging from the reports and the itineraries of an officer who has just returned from the Upper Lindi, the line over the greater part of the distance towardB the lake is occupied by friendly people, and it is freely dotted with State posts. “ We left Mr. White at Lindi Mouth with a boat's crew of volunteers from among his old school-boys at Bopoto, and after a few weeks spent in cementing friendship with the people, acquiring a vocabulary (it is quite a distinct language from anything we have touched as yet), and in gaining general information, he will come down river and see to the shipment of the portable house he has already pre­ pared with a view to going forward. We are hoping that either the Peace or the Goodwill may instal him at Lindi Mouth early in 1896, together with a colleague. As we spent the first Sunday of the month at Lindi Mouth, we held a Communion service, and Imd a very happy time. Very heartily did we praise God that He had allowed us to see the Kingdom of His dear Son march so far as inland, and our hearts were full of hope that He would speedily open the doors for His messengers to take the joyful news still farther afield.” 1896.] ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. 85

The Rev. W. H. White, writing from Lindi Mouth soon after Mr. Grenfell left, reported :—

“ I may say that I have learnt since the departure of the Goodwill several facts that make this spot much more eligible than Mr. Grenfell and the brethren who left me could know it to be. “ It is the nearest point to Stanley Falls, which promises to be the capital of Central Africa in the future, that we can occupy, being ten or twelve miles below the cataracts, and just clear of that one dangerous reach of the Upper Congo immediately below the Falls. “ On the opposite bank I found a settlement of the forest tribe that reaches down beyond the Lomami at ten minutes inland. “ I find that this language is practically one with that spoken by the, great riverine tribes called Lokele, which occupies both banks with numerous settlements nearly as far as the Aruwimi, this Tukusu clan, with its three settlements—this and one on either hand at some five miles—being undoubtedly of the same origin as that having the larger congeries of settlements. “ Lindi, with its feeder, the Chopa, which comes out a mile above this, gives us access to the outposts of two other important tribes whose affinities are apparently to be sought, north-east and south-east, the Wamauga occupying the country between the Lindi and the Aruwimi, and the Bakunu, stretching towards Nyangwe, in the forest country of the east bank of the Lualaba. These two languages I find vary from this much more markedly than this and the three dialects extending down river vary from the principal riverine dialects. One knowing a Bopoto or Bangala dialect has but few changes to make to be understood here.” “ Nowhere on the Congo are there folk who have been so steadily friendly and peaceably disposed. These are tribes of gentler manners we have got amongst. May they prove the sooner accessible to the gracious influence of the Holy Spirit that is waiting the opening of our mouths, longing, waiting, only to hear your missionaries form sentences in the new languages to begin His blessed wojk of enlightening these long darkened hearts ! ”

The stores and materials for the founding of this station have been on the Congo for a long time past waiting employment, the generous gift of E. G. Sargent, Esq., of Bristol, and the new station will be named Yukusu, or Sargent Station. As Mr. G. D. Brown has been compelled by failure of health to relinquish the hope of returning to Africa, the Committee have designated Mi*. Wherrett, of Bristol College, for association with Mr. White, and it is hoped that shortly Mr. Whitehead, from Lukolela Station, will also be able to remove to Yukusu. In the words of Mr. W hite: “ By the planting of this station the whole of the great main Congo highway will be occupied in the name of Christ. If only dear Tom Comber could see this line of Mission stations how the sight would thrill his soul— and who shall say he does not ? ” 86 ONE H U N D R ED AND FOURTH RErORT. [1896.

THE BAHAMAS MISSION-

NASSAU AND OUT ISLANDS. The Rev. C. A. Dann, of Nassau, reports “ Zion Chv/rch, Nassau.—This, the mother church of our Mission, has made marked progress during the past year. Our numbers have grown, our congregations have increased, and there never has been more life in our meetings since I have known the church. Our only regret, as a church, is that the falling off of receipts, consequent on terrible trade depression, has rendered absolutely needful the small amount the Committee have granted for the coming year. During the year, the Sunday-school has suffered somewhat through the illness of Miss Dann, its superintendent; but, nevertheless, it has shown its vigour by keeping up a good average attendance, and by introducing some of its older members to church-fellowship.”

Mayaguana, Acklins Island, Crooked Island, Fortune Island, Long Island, and Rum Cay. Out-of-the-way Mayaguana was last visited by one of our missionaries eighteen years ago ; and the Crooked Island people, owing to their inaccessibility, have been left alone for a longer time even than that. New chapels have been opened at Watlings Island (United States), Mayaguana (Abraham Bay), and Crooked Island (Landrail Point)—the last named having been built mainly through the generosity of our loved and lamented friend, the late H. W. Whitfield, Esq., a local Presbyterian. The building of several new chapels was begun last year. Most of the native pastors report numerical growth, with the result that the membership for the whole Mission (including Zion) gives a net increase of eighty-three—the total number baptized having been 199. By the wish of the people at Rum Cay and Watlings Island, I have set apart Mr. W. D. Strachan as their native pastor. The churches now under him are showing signs of revived activity.” During the past year Mr. Dann has suffered from severe illness. He is now, however, we are thankful to report, thoroughly restored to health, and able to undertake full work. The Committee are thankful to learn that the prospect of the self« support of the Bahamas churches is encouraging, abundantly justifying the policy adopted, by the Committee in relation to this important question. TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS AND SAN DOMINGO. The Eev. J. H. Pusey, reporting from G-rand Turk, writes :— “ During the past year we have had two baptisms at Grand Turk, numbering thirty-nine souls, nearly all of whom are fruits from the Sunday-school, and not­ withstanding continued drought on the Caicos Islands bringing the people to the verge of starvation, and commercial depression at Turks Islands and in the Republic of Santo Domingo, we rejoice to be able to report progressive Christian work. “ The work at East Harbour is a drawback for want of a suitable place of worship, but the people are busy preparing materials. “ We once more regret to report serious losses by death of useful Christian workers. Our presiding elder of the Caicos churches and his wife and daughter have gone to their rest and reward—the one after a brief illness, and the other two being drowned in our channel during bad weather. Our eyes are up to heaven for guidance to supply their vacant places. “ We review the year’s work with thankfulness, and take courage for the future.”

TRINIDAD. PORT OF SPAIN. The Rev. R. E. Gammon sends the following report on the work of the Port of Spain church, and the Southern or San Fernando district:— “ There has been nothing of striking importance to relate. The chief features of our work, as a whole, during 1894, seems to have been rather in the gathering back of wanderers from the fold, than in adding really new members.

sliders is, of course, an important duty, but I should have been glad if I could have told of more than forty-nine baptized for the year. “ The usual work has been done in Port of Spain—and at the Mission conducted by Mr. Gamble at Belmont (a suburb of the city)—and sixteen were baptized. “ At Chaguauas the services have been conducted by our members from town— viz., Messrs. Gamble, W. Cook, J. Elcock, W. Sealey, and R. F. Greenidge. Four from this station were baptized.”

SOUTHERN DISTRICT. “ In the Southern district twenty-nine were baptized from nine of the different country churches. Seven of the churches show a net increase, and seven of them a decrease, and five remain the same so far as membership is concerned. “ For the Mission, as a whole, there is a net increase of twenty-three members a9 compared with the returns for 1894. We are earnestly looking and praying for better things during 1896. “ In addition to my ordinary work (since the beginning of October), I have taken a class at the Royal College in the Old Testament, on Friday mornings, along with our Presbyterian brethren, with seventeen boys in the class.” JAMAICA- CALABAR COLLEGE, KINGSTON. The Committee are glad to report that the question, involving much correspondence and negotiation, of the repair and reconstruction of the Calabar College premises has now been finally

The Committee of the Union say :— “ The circumstances of the past year have not proved favourable to Christian work in this land. From all parts of the country the reports of the churches speak of the financial pressure as having hindered their work. In one case the report says that the difficulty referred to has had the happy effect of leading ‘ many nearer to Jesus.’ This is as it should be, troubles thus proving blessings in disguise. But, in almost all other cases where the strain was felt, contrary effects were produced. A few churches speak in happier tones, and tell of continued good congregations, of much earnest spiritual activity displayed by officers and members, and especially by Christian women, and thankfully rejoice in considerable accessions to their member­ ship. So that in striking a balance between the gains and the losses, we are again in a position to report a clear increase, though this increase is below the average of past years. “ Summarising the statistical information furnished, we arrive at the following results:— Baptized ...... 1,914 Restored 1,133 Received 379 = 3,426 Died 628 Excluded 1,384 Dismissed 317 Withdrawn 64 Erased ... 838 = 3,231

Clear increase 195 “ To this increase must be added 119—the number of members dismissed within the year to form the new churches at Wakefield and Salt Spring. This makes the net gain 314, a result—considering the circumstances of the period reviewed—that may well fill our hearts with thankfulness and tune our lips to praise. “ The following general statistics will show the numerical strength of "the churches in the Union:— Chapel accommodation 85,914 Out-stations 45 Class houses 459 Members 36,308 Inquirers...... 4,502 Local Preachers 414 Deacons and Leaders 1,533

The Rev. Alfred L. Jenkins sends the following report on the work of the past year :—

“ In Morlaix, and in the suburb of La Madeleine, the work has been continued without interruption, and, as usual, in the two languages, so that all have had the opportunity of hearing the Gospel preached in their own tongue. The meetings we held for some time in a quarter of the town called Troudoustin have been transferred to our own house, and with better success. In connection with the French work, I may say that I was in the course of the year asked by an inspector of primary schools to undertake the religious instruction of his son, who was a pupil in our Morlaix College. Both he and his wife were nominally Roman Catholics, but they wished their child to be brought up as a Protestant, the reason being, that having been brought into contact with Protestants, they had become convinced of the superiority of Protestantism. “ At Roscoff, where our Society has established a Sailors’ Rest, under the care of Mr. Messervy, the work has been encouraging. From the account kept daily by our friend, I find that the attendance at the reading-room and at the meetings, from July to December, has been 840. Each time I have been there for the week-night service I have met from twenty to thirty bright-looking French and Jersey sailors, whom it was a pleasure to speak to, and who evidently enjoyed the meetings. The friendly manner in which one is greeted in the streets of Roscoff shows that one is no more a stranger there, and the influence for good which has been exerted by the Sailors’ Rest. Mr. Davies, of Bangor College, who is studying the language at Roscoff, has held English services on the Sabbath at the Sailors’ Rest, whenever that has been practicable, and these services have proved most welcome to the English families who happened to be there during the summer. “ Primel.—There has been no break in the work at this second little seaport. The meetings have been held regularly every Sabbath, either by myself or Mr. Lohon, our evangelist there, and the attendance has been good, the Mission-hall being generally well filled. The Misses Jenkins, who reside there, have continued their good services to the cause, and have done much to draw the people by visiting them and tending their sick ones, as well as by teaching the children in the Sunday-school. “ Larmeanou.—The large district of which this small village is the centre has been perseveringly visited and re-visited by our evangelist, Collobert, during the year, and he has made use •of every opportunity of preaching wherever a door has been opened to him. He has done a great work by tending the sick who come to his house daily for advice and help, and in this manner his influenoe among the people has continued to extend. “ The Guilly.—We have not yet succeeded in collecting the necessary funds to build the school at this small hamlet, but I trust that, with God’s help, we shall be able to have the school and to open it this year. “ Cartraix.—We have here a few good friends, one of them, our colporteur, Hervet, who is a resident in the town. The opposition at Cartraix is very great, and consequently the attendance at the meetings is small, but Cartraix is important as a centre, as five railway lines will soon meet here, putting all the towns and villages in interior of the Breton Peninsular within easy reach of a missionary agent at Cartraix. '•'■La FeuilUe.—We have made some effort to open another district of which this village is the centre, and four hamlets in its neighbourhood have been visited by myself and our friend Collobert, and that with' encouraging signis. My intention is to turn my attention in that direction this year. “ Itinerant preaching is the thiiig needed at present in Brittany. The difficulty in 1896] ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. 91

NORTHERN DISTRICT. TURIN. With regard to the growing work in the North of Italy, the Rev. W. K. Landels reports:— “ The year 1895 has seen some great changes in the conduct of the work in Piemont. The movement in the Susa district had become so important, and so many doors seemed to be opening for the preaching of the Gospel, that we felt an evangelist ought to be stationed there permanently. The question to be solved was how to arrange for this without any increase in expenditure. The only plan, as far as we could see, was for me to assume the entire burden of the work in Turin, and thus to leave Sig. Jahier free to take charge of the new field. After much prayer this was decided on. In the month of July my colleague left Turin and took up his abode in Susa, and since then I have been alone. “ This change has necessitated the closing of our locale in Via Saluzzo. The work is now confined to the large hall in Via Maria Vittoria, and to a village station in Via Frejus. “ Self-support.—To the development of a spirit of liberality and independence we have been giving our most earnest attention, and we are glad to be able to report some progress in this-respect. I would draw the attention of our friends in England to the following fact. We have, in connection with the work in the North, six mission-halls. Four of these are entirely self-supporting—that is to say, all expenses o f rent, furnishing, lighting, heating, and cleaning are met by the people themselves. 92 ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. [ 1 8 9 6 ,

We have thus, I think, taken an important step towards solving the problem of how we are to extend the work without making further calls on our friends at home. May God in His goodness raise up in our churches lay preachers who will be able efficiently to carry on the work in thess places. “ Summary of Statistics.—Missionary, 1; evangelists, 2 ; stations and Bub-stations, 6 ; baptized during the year, 27 ; received otherwise, 14 ; losses by death and other­ wise, 17; nett gain in membership, 24; total number of members, 227—and a considerable number of Sunday scholars.

Seven new members were added to the roll, six names were taken off, our membership at the end of the year standing at sixty-three. Of these, fifty-five are effective members, six are residing out of Turin, and two are unsatisfactory. We have began the new year hopefully, four new members having been received in the month of January. “ The Services and ..Classes, fa., held in connection with our work in this city numbered 590, the attendance being well sustained throughout the year. “ The English Service, with an average attendance of sixteen, has been regularly carried on once a fortnight, and has, I think, proved a real blessing to the people They are now taking a practical interest in our work, especially in that connected with our hall in Via Frejus. Seven of their children regularly attend our Sunday- school there. ' “ Our Sunday-schools.-rThe work among .the children is always fraught with immense difficulties. The power of the priest over the women is as great as ever it was ; and while the men have, for the most part, emancipated themselves from the thraldom of sacerdotalism, the women are still the slaves of their confessors, and through them the priest is, therefore, able to snatch the children from our influence. “ We have in Turin two schools with between seventy and eighty scholars. “ The second of these was opened-in the Via Frejus in the month of October last. At the beginning our success was greater than we could have hoped. For about! two months the average attendance was thirty. “ Printing and Tract Work.—Oxix press has been as useful to us as ever. Over 50.000 notices, hand-bills, hymn-sheets, &c., to the value of about £16 16s., were turned out in the course of the year, and that at the cost of less than £3. Some 80.000 tracts were distributed in Turin and province, the expenses being met by our kind friend, Miss K. Emery. “ Finances.—Our local balance-sheet shows that the spirit of liberality and independence is growing from year to year in our people. For general purposes we raised Lire 786,21, and for evangelistic work, Lire 726,50; in all, Lire 1512,71, or £60 10s. 2d. nominal. This is £14 9s. 3Jd. better than last year. Of this total £6 10s. 6d. was a balance from last year’s account, £4 was contributed by an English lady for the poor, the remaining £50 being raised during the year by the people in connection with the work.”

SUSA AND DISTRICT. Signor Jahier*writes:—

“ A large number of our friends in Susa, Meana, and Mompantero having B e n t a

petition to Signor Landels, asking that I should b e sent to reside in S u b b , i n order t o carry on that work more vigorously, I went there towards the end of July last. 1898.] ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. 93

“ Susa,—On the 15th of August a new hall was opened just outside Susa, capable of holding about 150 persons. On the same day ten new converts, eight from Meana and two from Mompantero, were baptized in a neighbouring mill-stream. In the month of October, other five converts, three from Meana and two from Mom­ pantero, were immersed in a baptistery that had been sent from Turin, and placed in our hall in Susa. At the same time, the church of Susa, which includes the brethren from Mompantero, was constituted, with thirteen members. At the first Communion the brethren from Meana came down to take part. “ Our members in Susa are full of love for the Lord and of zeal for His cause They, themselves, pay the rent and all the incidental expenses connected with the hall, and also contribute generously for other purposes. They often work day and night at their occupation, and sometimes twenty-four hours at a stretch, in order to be able to attend the services, and, not content with those in Susa, do all they can to accompany me to Meana and Gravere,* having to walk a distance of some eight kilometres. “ Meana.—A Christian evangelical church has also been formed in Meana, and now numbers thirteen members. The meetings have all along been well attended, averaging for the whole year about sixty-five persons. Of late the numbers have greatly increased, there often being over a hundred hearers present. Here, as in Susa, the people pay the rent of the hall and meet all incidental expenses. There can be no doubt that the Gospel has taken a strong hold on the greater part of the population. “ Gravere.—In this parish the Gospel had never been preached until Signor Landels and I, last spring, went to hold occasional services in a hay-loft, bam, or anywhere we could get the people together. We have now taken a hall in a central position and established regular services.. These are well attended, notwithstanding bhe violent opposition of the priest. “ Sunday-school Work,—Our Sunday-school in Susa was opened in September, and now has fifteen children in regular attendance. The school in Meana was begun about the same time, and hag an average attendance of thirty-five. These children are all learning verses of Scripture by heart, and are being taught to sing our hymns. “ We are also attempting to form a school in Gravere, and are hoping to gather together some thirty children there, although the opposition is very great. “ The future in all this district is full of hope. It is impossible for me to overtake all the work that lies before me. A spirit of inquiry is abroad, and new doors are continually opening before us. The distances are great, and the mountain roads being often covered deep with snow, it is difficult to get from place to place. Not­ withstanding this, the following meetings are regularly held :— “ Sunday.-—In Susa, Sunday-school at 9 o’clock, worship at 10, evangelisation at 7.30. In Meana, worship at 3, Sunday-school at 4.15. Tuesday, evangelisation in Gravere, at 7.30. Thursday, evangelisation in Susa, at 7.30. Friday, evangelisation in Meana, at 7.30.” GENOA. Signor Nardi Greco reports :— “ During the year 1895 the church has enjoyed great blessing from God, but at the same time has had to pass through trial and Persecution. “ We have had the joy of receiving fifteen new members, of whom eight have borne witness for Christ in baptism. “ During the year three of our oldest members were called away by death. “ Other seven of our members have gone abroad, so that the church now numbers J32. Some of thoss who have left keep up a regular correspondence with us. 94 ONE HTJNDBED AND FOURTH BEPOBT. [1896.

“ Our Sunday-school has not increased; it is, however, full of life and hope. In a short time four of the scholars will be baptized and admitted into the church. Three were baptized last year, and are now at Massanah (Africa). “ Our hall has been somewhat enlarged and generally improved. The meetings continue to be as crowded as ever. At every meeting for the preaching of the Gospel we see a number of new people, who listen with attention and interest to the Word of Eternal Life. “ The contributions of the brethren during the year amounted to 800 francs (£32); 700 (£28) were spent in helping the poor, and in meeting the other expenses in connection with the work.” THE TUSCAN DISTRICT. FLORENCE. The Rev. N. H. Shaw reports on work in the Tuscan district, and, writing specially as to the City of Florence, says :— “ The event of the year has been the change of our Mission-hall. Our locale was a very unsuitable one, especially for a city like Florence, and all attempts to induce any but the poor and destitute to attend it could never have succeeded. For nearly three years we searched in vain for a suitable place, but at last have found and been permitted to open one, which, if not all we could desire, is certainly a great improve­ ment on the old one. It is large—larger than we should have desired for the present —situated in a well-frequented street, and is comfortable and attractive. “ We are very grateful to the kind friends who have with their gifts and words helped us to secure this Mission-hall, and especially to one (who prefers to be unnamed) who has borne all the expenses of fitting up, &c.—over £60—so that the Society’s funds might not be burdened. The inauguration drew together a large concourse of people, mostly sympathisers with our object, and congratulations and hopes were freely expressed on all sides. “ Since the opening, nearly three months ago, notwithstanding some exceptional hindrances, we have always had a few more people than we were accustomed to having in the old locale, and very often double and treble that number. Experience makes it impossible for us to be blind to the immense difficulties which our work here must encounter for years to come, but we can now labour hopefully, and there are not wanting signs that our hopes will not be vain ones. “ Members of the Church.—We have suffered heavy losses in membership, having had to exclude six members, and part with three others who have gone to strengthen other churches, and, therefore, are not lost to the cause, though we are deprived of their help, while one aged brother, who was in the poor-house, has been called to the mansions above. Five have been added, and others are seeking membership. Happily, our usefulness is not fully measured by the number of those who are gathered into the church. Besides the many who have listened to and been more or less enlightened by the preaching, I have a list before me while I am writing of about twenty persons with whom we have had serious conversation. Some have evidently received the grace of God, but have been hindered by circumstances, which I cannot here explain, from uniting with the church; and some of the others will in all probability be given to us by-and-by. “ Offerings and Persecution.—It is satisfactory to know that, in spite of the poverty alluded to above, the offerings of the church for all purposes have been not less, but several pounds more, than in 1894 ; and, to anyone who knows the condition 1 8 9 6 .^ ONE HtTliDKED ANl) t’OTJBTH: BfcPOBT. 95 of the brethren, the sum of over £34 is an offering full of hope. Not a few who come to a knowledge of the Truth have to suffer persecution. They are exhorted and conjured to withdraw from us, and failing these means, they are cursed and told that they are damned, and sometimes deprived of their means of living. A youth, With whom I have had frequent conversations lately, has been beaten, pulled by the hair of his head, turned out of doors for one whole night, his tracts which I had given him being thrown into the fire, and such expressions hurled at him as ‘ Cursed be He that made thee'—all this inspired by a priest who is a relative of the family. “ In conclusion, notwithstanding all hindrances, the outlook at Florence has greatly improved, and fills us with sober hopefulness. Signor Allegri has shown himself an earnest evangelist worthy of our sympathy and love ; very many visits have been paid to people in their houses ; large numbers of tracts have been dis­ tributed, and portions of Scripture have been sold here and there ; the Sunday-school has greatly improved; and, as we face the future, we * thank God and take courage.’ ”

LEGHORN* “ Our brother, Signor Baratti, has had much to try him at Leghorn. One false brother has tried to work mischief, and four of the members, who existed in the most abject poverty, have yielded to the emissaries of the priests, who promised them pecuniary help if they would withdraw from the evangelical meetings. One of these, a poor blind woman, and absolutely dependent on others, has been carried away to a convent by her sister, who is a nun. She protests to Signor Baratti that she has undergone no change in conviction, but must stay where she is in order to have bread to eat. Thus the ohurch is smaller, but I am hopeful that it may be purer and therefore stronger for the losses sustained. “ Signor Baratti has paid visits to Fatilia, Viareggio, and other places, where he has Bold copies of the Scriptures, distributed tracts, sometimes held meetings in which there has been considerable enthusiasm, and had conversations with many indi­ viduals.” PRATO. “ The locale at Prato being ill-adapted to our work and situated in a back street, where the public would not come, I gave it up ; and, as we have not yet been able to obtain another, we hold a meeting every Sunday evening in a private house. Lately several persons have joined these meetings, who, by their earnest demeanour and questions, have given us reason to hope for their conversion.” CENTRAL, OR ROMAN, DISTRICT. Reporting upon the work in Rome, the Rev. James Wall writes:— “ The year 1895, being the Jubilee of Roman deliverance from the temporal government of the Popes, great festivities were held in the eternal city, and thousands flocked to it from all parts of Italy. During these feasts the enthusiasm of the masses was very great, and the priests seemed to recognise that all hope of return to temporal dominion was gone. “ The year of Roman Jubilee was also the year of Jubilee of the Baptist Mission in Rome. This foot has not passed unnoticed by the Vatican, That a Baptist heretic should be allowed to come and remain in the eternal city for a period not granted to any Pope for eighteen centuries seemed to be very perplexing, and all the more so because the Mission, so humble in its commencement, has not only withstood the shocks of opposition, but has quietly lengthened its cords and strengthened its stakes in many parts of Rome, 8 96 ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT, [1896 :

“ A perusal of tlie following statistics for 1895 will, I presume, show that. the. whole Latin land is open to the spread of the Gospel, and should be possessed for Christ; and that if our progress is slow, this must be attributed not to the strength of Popery, or the bigotry of the people, but to our own weak faith, littleness of mind, and inability to attempt and grasp great things for God. The foundation of this Mission is Christ—Divine, present, ruling, as set forth in TTis own Word—and on this foundation a superstructure is slowly rising which defies the wrath of men and the gates of hell.”

YIA URBANA, ROME.

The Eev. J. Campbell Wall, who has charge of the work in the Yia Urbana, writes :— “ The results of work during 1895 in connection with the Via Urbana branch of the Roman Mission may not be what we would wish, but at present a constant and unfluctuating increase can hardly be expected. Italy is weighed down with a struggle for material existence, and the wealth and influence of the Church of Rome can only form a terrible contrast to the poverty and depression of this people. Moreover, there has hitherto been no attempt to solve the problem of Church and State, indifference and infidelity being only productive of apathy, and those who are politically most opposed to the Pope regarding the religion they personally despise as good enough for the ‘ common herd.’ We believe in the power of the Truth, and trust that the foundations which are being secretly laid will soon be recognised and appreciated. “ Preaching is still the greatest power at our disposal, the press and educa­ tional institutes being beyond our grasp. Our hall in Via Urbana is frequently crowded with attentive listeners, and the number of occasional visitors constantly increases. The Sunday-school has inoreased, and the teachers, who are all voluntary workers, have shown considerable interest and ability. Private and publio dis­ cussions have been held whenever opportunities offered, a Dorcas meeting has been organised among our female members, and a sewing-class for girls in the Sunday-. Bchool is held weekly. English classes, and special efforts to reach the young men of Rome, have met with considerable Buccess, being in connection with the Y.M.Q.A.,, which was constituted at the close of 1894* Signor Petocchi, our evangelist, has, ONE HUNDBED AND I'OTJBTH BEPOBT. 97

worked constantly in the neighbourhood of Via degli Equi. That district is probably thé poorest in Rome, and is noted for immorality and bloodshed. It is also a stronghold of a fanatical friar, who holds an almost undisputed sway over that stricken and ignorant population. Hence persecutions and vehement opposition are the order of the day. Our Sunday-school has been repeatedly destroyed, and there are at present small hopes of re-organising it. The Gospel servie^ however, have an average attendance of nearly thirty. “ Remits : Ten baptisms have taken place daring 1895. “ The attendances have been registered as follows :— In Yia Urbana...... 17,602 In Yia Equi ...... 6,351

WORK IN THE PROVINCES. The Rev. Jas. Wall writes :—

“ While our work in Rome has gradually become a (My Mission, it has so extended in the province as to be a Town and Country Mission. We have divided the province into districts, into which we send tracts, Gospels, New Testaments, and Bibles. We also send evangelists, and many interesting cases of conversion have come to hand. Several churches exist, and during the past year twenty-nine believers have been baptized in connection with these churches. These little assemblies of immersed be­ lievers are the outposts of the advancing Gospel Army. Exposed often to the most violent persecutions, their existence proves the triumphing virtue of faith in the Risen Lord. They are not encouraged to lean on us in Rome, but to look entirely to their great Bishop, Christ, in whom they live, and move, and have their being. “ However limited these results may seem, to me they are greatly encouraging. For many years much work has been done in these parts, and large numbers of Scriptures disseminated. Now the fruit is appearing in increasing ratio, and there is ground to hope that this will continue, and will indeed increase in proportion to the Scriptural information communicated to this district. “ The churches of the district are Tivoli, San Benedetto, Civita Vecchia, Orbetello, Viterbo, Assisi, Faleria, Orvieto. The number of members in all these places in seventy-five.” THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT. NAPLES. The Rev. Robert Walker reports :— “ The year 1895 waa, on the whole, an encouraging one for our Mission in Naples. I have not considered it advisable to propose for membership any of the Catechumens, who have attended with more or less regularity during the year. I am convinced that only harm and trouble can result from reoeiving members too hastily here. The general financial condition of the country presses very heavily on the poor, and many of these are led to seek admission to the church in the hope of getting help. There is a very Widespread notion, created and kept up by the priests and their friends, that all who come to our meetings are paid ; and many would gladly sell themselves for a very low price. Knowing how small our méetings are, comparatively, it is sur­ prising that the people still allow this idea to subsist. At the beginning of last year we 98 ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REI>ORT. [1896.

admitted fourteen new converts, and four by transfer. Most of these new members have been satisfactory, and a great deal of our effort has been directed to developing them and educating them. We can see decided progress in some of them, and hope to get help in the work from several. Amidst immense difficulties, we work on and rejoice when we Bee some token of the Lord’s presence and blessing on our labours. Several of our young men are really helpful, and give us cause for gratitude. They bring their friends, who often become our friends, and we hope, friends of our Saviour. “ I count on getting a good deal of help from some of them when the impending changes take place. Next May, Signor Libonati leaves Avellino to resume the work he left in Caserta over eight years ago. The changes he refers to in his letter, and the state of his health, make this change advisable. Signor Tummolo, my assistant in Naples, will go to Avellino, and I shall remain alone here. Then I hope to get real help from all the capable members of the church, and especially from the young men. Signor Besesti, who writes for Signor Barone as well as himself, will probably come down from Trevico to some place near Naples, and I hope to be able to give a good account of him in future reports. “ We shall, as a first result of these changes, have one station more than at present, and I hope each one will be greatly benefited by the changes. We had a time of trouble and anxiety in April and May at Trevico, but since then we have not been molested, and I think the lesson the authorities of the place needed has been given ; so, as Trevico is only a small village, and there is no indication of a general desire for our work, I have decided to bring Signor Besesti nearer Naples, where perhaps I can help him more than I can so far away, and get help from him when needed in Naples.” AYELLINO. Signor Libonati writes :—

“ Avellino still continues a very hard field to work in, and success in reaching the hearts of the people very limited; nevertheless, there are some cases of the Word taking root and bringing forth good fruit. “ My visits to the various villages have been made regularly, and afford me good opportunities of talking with the people by the way. Recently I met the family of a man whom I visited on his death-bed, and who professed to accept the Saviour in his last moments. I had not seen the family since, and was very glad to find that the good impression made on that sad occasion had not worn off. They were delighted to meet me again, and I was glad of the opportunity of confirming the testimony I had given in their house. Thus we scatter the seed, and are grateful when the Lord of the Harvest allows us to see that our labour is not all in vain.”

CALITRI AND TREYICO. Signor Francesco Besesti writes :—

“ It ifl very comforting to see in a small town like Calitri a meeting of about forty Christians, and to think that only a few years ago all of them were either Roman Catholics or infidels. Anyone who knows the difficulties every Protestant convert has to face in a small place will appreciate the work done here. To come out of the Church of Rome in a city is difficult for anyone who is known, but in a small town, where everybody knows everybody else, the difficulty is much greater. Yet here are forty converts from the Church of Rome who meet regularly to worship God, and most of them have their families with them. All the members of the church are baptized. 1896.] ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. 99

“ There has not been such a response to the G-ospel appeal in Trevico as was made in Calitri; yet, even there there are several, both men and women, who seem to have opened their hearts to the Word. Last April, when Signor Barone came to visit me, and we decided to open our new locale with special services in reply to the special mission against us which the arch-priest had got up, the priests got a number of families together, and, headed by the mayor of the village, they besieged my house, and threatened to bum it and us if we did not leave the place ! We were obliged to go at once, and were hooted and even stoned for some distance beyond the village precincts. It was nearly a fortnight before we were able to return, under police protection. This event frightened several of our half-hearted friends, and probably prevented others from openly taking our side. We have not seen our way clear to baptize any of them as yet, but hope that ere long there will be a flourishing 1 btle ohurch also in Trevico.”

THE CENTENARY FUND. The Centenary Fund Balance Sheet for 1894-5 exhibited a balance in hand of— (see page clxi. 1895 Report)— £51,317 9 0 During the past year the Treasurer has received :— Promised Contributions paid ... £1,233 0 0 Interest on Investment ...... 1,066 7 6 ------£2,299 7 6

Making a total of ...... £53,616 16 6 The Expenditure for the past year has been :— Debt Liquidation ...... ¿£15,803 15 10 New Missionaries ...... 1,000 0 0 Agency ...... 81 2 8 ------£16,884 18 6

Leaving a sum in hand of ...... £36,731 18 0 This Balance has been already allocated in the following manner—in pursuance of the Centenary Appeal—viz.:— Additional Missionaries’ Fund...... £26,000 0 0 Buildings at various Stations—nearly the whole of which has been already voted away ...... 7,249 9 8 Training and Equipment of Native Agents and Scripture Translation ...... 3,390 16 2

£36,640 5 10

There are still some £ 9 0 0 in promised contributions outstanding, the larger part of which sum, it is anticipated, will be received to the crcdit of the Centenary Fund during the new year. 100 ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. [1896.

FINANCE. The Financial Statement for the year ending the 31st of March last palls for special thankfulness. The large Debt on the General Account of £33,593 168. Id., with which the year commenced, is now extinguished. This has been effected by the transfer of £15,803 158. lOd. un. i] propriated balance from the Centenary Fund by the receipt of £3,390 138. 9d. Special Debt Liquidation Contributions, and of £ 3 , 4 9 9 6 d M the generous gift of the executors of the late Sir Charles Wathen, of Bristol. It is specially gratifying that this heavy Debt has been paid without having resort to the recommendation of the Annual Members’ Meeting that, should any Balance remain, it should be met by a payment from the Legacy Reserve Fund. The Total Gross Receipts for the past year have been £74,816 38. 6d. the largest Income the Society lias ever received, excluding the Centenary Fund. As indicating the growth of the missionary spirit in the ohurches, it is specially encouraging to note that their contributions exhibit an increase of £1,333 08. Od. as compared with their gifts for the previous year, the contributions for the Widows and Orphans’ Fund also exhibiting an increase of £83 78. 8d. The main increase, however, in the Gross Receipts arises from excep­ tionally large Legacies, £10,895 38. lid. having been received from this source during the year, £9,370 198. 4d. of this sum having been carried into the General Account; £953 98. lOd. specially reserved for Calabar and Serampore, in pursuance of the definite directions of the Legatee; and £071 138. 9d. added to the Legacy Reserve Fund. The Debt of £360 98. 5d. on the Widows and Orphans’ Fund has also been extinguished, and the year closes with a Balance in Hand upon that Fund of £333 88« 5d. : Turning to the Expenditure, the total payments for the past year exhibit 1896.] ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT, 1 0 1

a decrease as compared with the previous year (deducting Colonial Mission Expenditure) of $3,045 17s. 6d. mainly due to reduced outlay on the Congo Mission. The Balance-sheet for the year there­ fore closes without jDeht. It should, however, be clearly understood that this welcome fact Is entirely due to the large Legacy Receipts taken into the Account, amounting, to some £0,000 Os. Od. in excess of the usual average. There is still needed a further increase in the ordinary annual income or at least £6,000 to meet present annual expenditure, and a still larger increase to provide for advance and extension to meet the urgent appeals for reinforce­ ments from brethren in the grreat mission fields of India, China, and Africa. We are thankful to see signs, unmistakable, of reviving commercial prosperity, leading to the confident anticipation of “ better times ” than for some years past, and to the hope that our churches will be better prepared to give a ready and hearty response to the urgent calls from all the fields of the Society’s work for large reinforcements and immediate extension. To-day, more than half the human race have not even heard the Divine message of light and love, and yet for more than eighteen hundred years the Christian Church has been commissioned to preach this evangel throughout the whole world. To-day, less than a one hundred and twentieth part of the sum annually spent in this country on alcoholic drink is contributed for carrying the waters of eternal life to the parched plains of heathenism; and yet millions in this highly-favoured land are in their daily prayers expressing as their first desire : “ Thy Kingdom come ”—before they ask even for their own daily bread; and to hasten the coming of that Kingdom in heathen lands, they contribute but a' bare fraction of the sum which they annually spend upon articles of luxury only. “ ‘ Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature; and, lo ! I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world ’—by these 1 0 2 ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REPORT. [1896. words,” wrote Dean Alford, “ the missionary office is bound upon the Christian Church through all ages, till every part of the earth shall have been evangelised. It is a commission to the whole Christian Church— as a Church. Missionary work is not a voluntary supererogatory work of a few specially devoted souls ; it is a charge which is given to us all as Christians; it is a oommand binding upon^tll members of Christ’s Church —Christ’s great parting charge. The work of Foreign Missions is not the self-chosen work of a few apostolic enthusiasts, it is the work of the whole Christian Church as a Church.” If only the Christian Church should adequately realise her opportunity and responsibility, her privilege and peril, and her absolute dependence upon the effectual grace and working of the Holy Spirit, how glorious the blessings we may expect immediately to reap, and how speedily the prophecy would be fulfilled :— “ The earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.” If Omnipotence be on our side, how can we fail ? 1896.] APPENDIX I.
