The General Missionary Committee shall meet annually in the city of New York, at such time, in the month of November, as shall be determined by the Corresponding Secretaries and Treasurer. The Bishops shall, also, be duly notified to attend the meetings of the General Missionary Committee, to advise with them in respect of any matters before them. Said General Missionary Committee, with the concurrence of the Board of Managers, and with the concurrence of a majority of the Bishops pres­ ent, shall determine what fields shall be occupied as foreign missions, the number of persons to be employed on said missions, and the amount necessary for the support of each mission. Said General Missionary Com­ mittee, with the concurrence of the Board and Bishqps, as aforesaid, shall also determine the amount for which each Bishop may draw for the domestic missions of the conferences over which he shall preside, and the Bishop shall not draw on the Treasurer for more than said amount. Nevertheless, in the intervals between the meetings of the General Mission­ ary Committee, the Board of Managers, with the concurrence of the Bishop -who has charge, or is to have charge of the work proposed, may, if they CONSTITUTION. 19 shall deem it important, adopt a new foreign mission field; the Board may also provide for any unforeseen emergency that may arise in any of our missions. To meet such demands, the Board may expend any additional amount not exceeding twenty-five thousand dollars. Should any member of the General Missionary Committee appointed by the bishops go out of office by death, resignation, or otherwise, the Bishops shall appoint another to fill the vacancy. The General Missionary Committee shall be amenable to the General Conference, to which it shall make full report of its doings. Any expenses incurred in the discharge of its duties shall be met by the Treasurer of the Society.

SUPPORT OF SUPERANNUATED AND OTHER MISSIONARIES. The Board may provide for the support of superannuated missionaries, widows and orphans of missionaries, who may not be provided for by their annual conferences respectively, it being understood that they shall not receive more than is usually allowed to other superannuated ministers, their widows and orphans. The amount allowed for the support of a missionary shall not exceed the usual allowance of other itinerant preachers; and in the case of do­ mestic missions, the Bishop or president of the conference shall draw for the same in quarterly installments, and shall always promptly notify the Treasurer of all drafts made by him. The administration of appropria­ tions to foreign missions shall be under the direction of the Board of Managers. No one shall be acknowledged as a missionary, or receive support as such from the funds of this Society, who has not some definite field as­ signed to him in the service of the Society, or who could not be an effect­ ive laborer on a circuit, except as above provided.

FIFTY-SECOND ANNIVERSARY.

Sabbath Morning, November 20,1870.

T h e services connected with the observance of the Fifty-second Anniversary of the Missionary Society of the Methodist Episco­ pal Church commenced in our churches in New York and its vicinity on Sabbath morning, November 20, 1870. The Board of Managers, through the Secretaries, had requested the Pastors to call the attention of their people to the Missionary cause, setting forth its present prosperous condition and its cheering future, as indicated by the large advance in the ap­ propriations made by the General Missionary Committee for the coming year. Sabbath Afternoon. A general meeting was held in the afternoon in St. John’s Church, Brooklyn. The Hon. G-e o r g e G . R e y n o l d s , of Brooklyn, presided. The service was commenced by the con­ gregation uniting in singing the 195th Hymn,

" 0 Spirit of the living God; ” after which the Rev. W i l l i a m M ’D o n a l d , of Brooklyn, read Psalm lxvii, and the Rev. A l b e r t D. V a i l , of New York, offered prayer. Addresses were then delivered by the Rev. C h a r l e s W . J u d d and the Rev. J a m e s D. B r o w n , both members of our India Mission Conference.

Sabbath Evening. A large congregation assembled in the same church in the evening. The Rev. Dr. H a r r i s , one of the Secretaries of the Society, presided. After the congregation had sung the 999th Hymn, “ Jesus shall reign where’er the sun,” the Rev. W . H. Oldt, of Binghamton, offered prayer. 30 FIFTY-SECOND ANNIVERSARY.

The Rev. S t e p h e n L. B a l d w i n , of the Foochow Mission in China, delivered an address on Missions in China; at the conclusion of which he introduced L i n g C h a C h a , a China­ man, who accompanied Brother Baldwin to this country, and who had been converted since his arrival. This converted Chinaman delivered a brief address in Chinese, which was in­ terpreted by Brother Baldwin.

Monday Evening, November 21, 1870. The services of the Fifty-second Anniversary of the Mis­ sionary Society were resumed in St. John’s Church, Brooklyn, on Monday evening. The spacious and beautiful edifice was thronged in every part by the ministry and laity of our own Church, and by a very liberal attendance of the members of other denominations^ E. L. F a n c h e r , LL.D., of N e w York, presided. After an anthem by the choir, under the leadership of Pro­ fessor Fox, the organist of the Church, the congregation united in singing,

“ From all that dwell below the skies, Let the Creator’s praise arise!”

The Rev. S. L. B a l d w i n , of the Foochow Mission, read Rev. xiv, 6-12 ; after which the Rev. A. M’K e o w n , of Boston, offered prayer. The President then delivered a very appropriate and interest­ ing opening address, which was followed by a statement from the Secretaries setting forth very briefly the operations of the Society for the year which is past, and its plans for the year which is to come.

Rev. Dr. H a r r is made the subjoined statement: On behalf of the Secretaries, I may say in relationto the year just closing: 1. The year has been replete with spiritual prosperity in all our Missionary fields. The Churches have been built up in the faith and hope of the Gospel, and sinners have been awakened and converted to God. FIFTY-SECOND ANNIVERSARY. 31

2. When Bishop Kingsley was in China he organized our Missions in that land into three distinct superintendencies, with their respective centers at Foochow, Kiu-Kiang, and Peking. He called earnestly for re-in^orcements, and the Board and Bishops responded by sending out the Rev. Franklin Ohlinger and the Rev. Nathan J. Plumb to Foochow, the Rev. John Ing and wife and the Rev. Henry H. Hall to Kiu-Kiang, and the Rev. George R. Davis and the Rev. Leander W. Pilcher to Peking. The Rev. E. W. Parker and wife, of the India Mission, after spending a season in this country on account of impaired health, have returned to the Mission during the year, accom­ panied by the Rev. Thomas Craven and wile, the Rev. John T. M’Mahon and wife, and the Rev. Philo M. Buck, who are just entering this service. 3. The gross income of the Society for the year which closed October 31, 1870, fell below that of the preceding year to the amount of $8*77 45. The statement of receipts shows, however, that the two items of legacies and sundries fell off in the sum of |22,358 43, thus indicating an advance in the regular contribu­ tions of the Church this year over last of $21,480 98. I may not detain you with the recital of our plans for the future further than to say : 1. The General Committee has forecast for the enlargement of our work during the coming year both at home and abroad. Provision has been made to send out two additional families to India and two to Bulgaria. The General Com­ mittee also made the necessary appropriations to increase the number of our foreign fields by opening Missions in both Mexico and Italy. 2. The plans of the General Committee require the expenditure during the coming year of $671,181 05, being in excess of the receipt of the past year $59,331 79. 3. With this scheme of Missionary labor demanding this out­ lay we go to the Church with confidence, trusting in God and in the people that the work shall go forward.

Very able addresses were then delivered by the Rev. H e n r y W . W a r r e n , of Charlestown, Mass.; by the Rev. J o s e p h T. D u r y e a , D .D ., Pastor of the Classon Avenue Presbyterian Church, Brooklyn ; by the Rev. M a r t i n C. B r ig g s , D .D ., of Cincinnati; and by the Rev. B is h o p S im p s o n . The exercises were brought to a close at half past ten o’clock 32 FIFTY-SECOND ANNIVERSARY. with the singing of the long meter doxology, and the benedic­ tion by Rev. Pr. D u r b i n . The addresses of Sabbath afternoon and evening, and of Monday evening, are published complete in the December number of the Missionary Advocate, of which more than two hundred and fifty thousand copies have been distributed to the Church. FIFTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT.

Commenced in 1832.

BISHOP ROBERTS, Resident in Africa , h a s E p is c o p a l

S u p e r v is io n .

The general condition of the work is more satisfactory than for several years past. The working force of the Mission has increased somewhat both in number and efficiency: the body of members is larger, and, perhaps, more pious and devoted. The following list of appointments will exhibit the force in the field:

M onrovia District, P. Gross, P. E. Monrovia, H. E. Fuller, J. S. Payne, H. H. Whitfield, sups. Robertsport, Daniel Ware. St. Paul River Circuit, to be supplied. O. Richards, sup. Mills- burgh and West Plains Circuit, P. Gross, L. R. Roberts. Ca- reysburg Circuit, S. J. Campbell. Queah Mission, to be supplied. Heddington Mission, Hardy Ryan.

B a s s a D is t r i c t , J. R. Moore, P. E. Buchanan Circuit, to be supplied. Bexley Circuit, James R. Moore, W. P. Kennedy, Sen., sup. Edina Circuit, to be supplied. Durbinville Mission, W. P. Kennedy, Jun. Mount Olive and Marshall Circuit, J. H. Deputie, one to be supplied. Ammons Station, to be supplied. Grand Currah Mission, to be supplied. Beah Mission, (New Hope,) to be supplied.

S inott D is t r i c t , C. A. Pitman, P. E. Greenville Circuit, C. A. Pitman. Louisiana and Sinou Mission, J. M. Montgomery, J. G. Thompson, sup.

C a p e P a l m a s D i s t r i c t . J. M. Moore, P . E. Mount Scott Church and Tubmantown, J. M. Moore. Grebo Mission, J. C. Lowrie. Sarracca, to be supplied. The supervision of the work has been more efficient we judge upon reading the following lengthy report from Bishop Roberts, dated August, 1870. He says: 3 34 m i s s i o n a r y r e p o r t . [1870.

I made allusion in my last to a visit I had made a short time previously to one of the leeward districts. In the month of May I visited our steveral points of operations on the Bassa District, namely, Marshall, Mount Olive, Durbinville, Edina, Bexley, and Buchanan, via Ammons (native) station. Brother Deputie being up and returning, accompanied me. Our route was mainly inland, and traveling by canoe, riding, and walking, for much distance, is rather fatiguing, even under the most favorable circumstances. To sit in a “ dug-out,” (canoe,) twenty inches wide, four or five days successively, propelled by hand-paddles at the rate of three or four miles an hour, and then change to walking over prairie lands and the heavy sands of a sea-beach, unfavorably com­ pares with the ease and comfort of steamboat and railway loco­ motion. Our first Sabbath after leaving Ammons station—which is not, aside from the existence of a small society of native members, very inviting—we spent at Mount Olive, a native station. At 11 o’clock A. M. a full congregation assembled, natives mainly, for religious worship, whom I addressed, and my remarks were translated by a native Local Preacher into their native tongue. During the services there was an exhibition of a lively faith in the “ one living and true God.” The presence of an old man of seventy summers was particularly attracting. He came forward after service, shook hands, and said he came to the Christian station to better enjoy and learn more about his newly-found re­ ligion. This old man is in a leading position ampng his people, and of the Beah tribe, some seventy-five miles in the interior. He heard for the first time the Gospel preached in his country by the native Local Preacher mentioned above some two years ago, and was soon convinced his way was “ dark ” and led to “ death,” and Boon was brought to the light of truth. Sabbath afternoons are devoted to the interests of the Sunday-school, of which there is one well conducted. In this capacity I met some thirty-nine youths of both sexes, besides several adults., The scene was very interesting. Our hopes in several beat high for future usefulness to thousands in the surrounding country. Several of these youths are members of the Church, and one an exhorter. The new house for divine worship, of which mention was made in a previous letter, approaches completion slowly. Its external appearance adds much to the view of the station. It is of native 'construction, with doors and window« of frame-work. When finished, and a bell (which I hope some kind friend of missions AFRICA. 35 will soon furnish) hanging in the cupola, it will be the best chapel of the kind I have seen, and ample for the purposes intended. To promote the interests of this point in its various departments Brother Deputie is zealously engaged, and its advancement is visible. From Mount Olive we returned to Marshall. At 7 P. M., ac­ cording to notice, we met a congregation in the little church, to whom I preached, after which I ordained to the order of Deacon W. H. Davis, Local Preacher, as ordered by our late Annual Conference. The society in Marshall is numerically small, but a rising spiritual state is apparent. Leaving Marshall very early next day, we ascended the Bar- gua River about eight miles to Rev. Mr. Herndon’s mission sta­ tion, and thence proceeded to Durbinville mission station, distant about thirty miles. The mission house at this point is now un­ dergoing some repairs, which must of necessity be very limited, and not at all equal to the demands. The disbursements by the Conference of the amount appropriated by the General Mis­ sionary Committee for the support of this mission this year, were made to the best advantage. Still it was found necessary to sus­ pend operations, for a time at least, at two points until an advance can be given us, which we hope the Committee in November will see reasons to do. At this station there is a well-organized and prosperous Sabbath-school of thirty-two scholars, twenty of whom are natives. During our visit Brother Pitman informed us he had suspended his day-school in order to give attention to the repairs of his house. At the time of our visit there was no house for reg­ ular religious services except the mission house. Brother Ken­ nedy subsequently, in a letter, says, “ At present we have no house dedicated to the Lord.” W e left for Edina, twelve miles distant, and safely arrived, and met a welcome reception from Brother I. R. Moore, Presiding Elder, whose guests we were during our stay. Edina has much improved within a few years in buildings and commercial opera­ tions. On Sabbath I preached to a very respectable and attentive congregation—evidence of a healthy spiritual state. Brother Russ, Local Preacher, now in charge of the circuit, is fully at home in his duties, and zealously prosecuting them. Our day- school, under the direction of W. H. Jacobs, teacher, is doing well. Twenty-three were present when I made a call, which number is about two thirds of the entire school according to its roll. 36 MISSIONARY REPORT.

Our next visit was to Bexley, about nine miles up the St. John River. I spent a very pleasant and, I trust, profitable Sabbath here, and preached to a crowded congregation and wakeful hear­ ers in a large room in the receptacle building, which is now used instead of a church edifice. After services, Brother Moore re­ ceived twelve persons into the Church. The work on this circuit increases, and demands additional laborers, which we cannot for want of means well supply. We left, after spending several days in Bexley, for Buchanan. This city is the most important in this region, and steadily rising. It is the center of commercial operations, in which several foreign houses are prosecuting ex­ tensive business. I spent a Sabbath at this place, and preached to the people. We have an inviting membership, to which some of the most important families belong. A few of the members and others have contributed toward their Pastor’s salary during the last three years. Our Sunday-school I found advancing in in­ terest. The efficiency of the officers and teachers has given an impulse to this department of the work which if persevered in must be of incalculable benefit to the Church. We have also an excellent teacher in Brother B. J. Forbes for our day-school. I met in this department twenty-seven scholars. The teacher took the opportunity to examine several classes in practical arithmetic on blackboard, geography, and English grammar. The exami­ nation was very satisfactory. The number of scholars in attend­ ance was much below the roll of the school, as you will discover in reports of said school furnished subsequently by the teacher, which accompanies this. The day and Sunday-school depart­ ments of our general work are very important to us here as else­ where. I may say a Church without its schools must materially wane, if not entirely lose influence, in the midst of others who cherish their schools. I purpose reverting again to this subject in another communication soon. Our work extends, and urgently demands increased labors. I may truly say, “ The harvest is great, but the laborers are few.” The means to send them out is needed. We have encouraging reports from every quarter of the state of the work, and from some points, of its progress and advancement of the kingdom of Christ. Brother Ware having recovered from a recent severe illness, from which he barely escaped, writes June 1 : “ Our quarterly meeting has just closed, and O what a precious season we had! God was specially present. We are protracting, for the signs of AFRICA. 37 the times bid fair for a general and gracious shower.” In an­ other letter he writes: “ Several young men of much promise have obtained the peace of God.” Brother N. D. Russ writes: “ I have been steadily laboring to promote the work, and am glad to say, not in vain. Our last quarterly meeting was attended with much interest to the re­ building of Zion and the ingathering of souls. Praise the Lord ! ” Rev. L. R. Roberts, at Robertsport, writes: “ We have an interesting protracted meeting in progress. Among those seeking the salvation of their souls are several natives, apparently deeply concerned; and up to this time some thirty have professed to enjoy peace through the merits of Christ.” In connection with other duties I continue to direct the special work on this St. Paul River Circuit, supplying the charge when distant. The last six months have devolved on me much labor to meet the regular appointments. Through the mercies of God my strength has been equal to my duty, and the charge is in a peaceful condition. Some weeks ago I visited Chase’s Town, Congo, five miles distant interiorward, at which place we have a growing society of native members, for the purpose of dedicating a small chapel to the worship of God. The larger portion of those assembled were compelled, for want of room inside, to find seats outside. W e had a precious season. I returned home not over­ fatigued after walking ten miles. In June I attended quarterly meeting in Monrovia and took part in the religious services, and enjoyed a profitable season. The love-feast and administration of the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper were seasons of much spiritual refreshing. It was truly gratifying to see so many of the number who were brought into the fold of Christ last October continuing in the faith, and pro­ fessing a good profession before many witnesses in love-feast. The introduction of an excellent organ into the church at Mon­ rovia is an improvement. In July we had the pleasure of dedicating a house for worship, 35 by 20 feet, in Upper Caldwell. 38 MISSIONARY REPORT. [1870.

SOUTH AMERICA.

i Commenced in 1836. BISHOP CLARK h a s E p i s c o p a l S u p e r v i s i o n .

Rev. H e n r y G. J a c k s o n , Superintendent, reports as follows for the year ending December 31, 1870, namely:

B u e n o s A y b e s .—We have in Buenos Ayres and its environs two English speaking congregations, with weekly prayer meetings and class-meetings, one English Sunday-school, two Spanish con­ gregations, and three Spanish Sunday-schools ; also a weekly meeting of the teachers of the English Sunday-school, and a weekly Bible class in Spanish. The English charge has been attended with its usual prosperity. The congregations are good; the prayer-meeting has an average attendance of forty or forty-five persons, and several have been re­ ceived into the Church during the year. The Sunday-school is in a prosperous condition, and is in many respects a model school. The average attendance is about one hundred and forty-five. Rev. Dexter E. Clapp, U. S. Consul, is the Superintendent. In connection with the Sunday-school there is a well-sustained teachers’ meeting. The other English service is held in Barraccas. The attendance is small, not averaging Inore than ten or twelve adults and chil­ dren. Rev. E. G. Wesley, to whom our Quarterly Conference granted license to preach, has had charge of that service up to the present. He intends, however, to depart soon for the United States in order to prepare himself more thoroughly for the work of the ministry. In connection with our Church we have organized a “ Young Men’s Christian Association.” It holds two sessions each month, one being a religious and the other a literary meeting. The old church in Calle Cangallo has been sold, and we are now building in Calle Corrientes. The new site is pleasant and com­ modious, and the church when finished will be the finest Prot­ estant Church in the city, if not, indeed, in South America. The church proper is fifty by eighty feet, of Gothic architecture, with a tower and spire on the north-west corner one hundred and 1870.1 SOUTH AMEBICA. 39 twenty feet high. In the rear of the church is a lecture-room thirty-four by fifty-five feet, an infant class-room opening into the lecture-room by folding-doors, and several other rooms for Bible classes, library, etc. Over the lecture and other rooms the par­ sonage is to be built. The building is progressing rapidly, and we expect to occupy thé lecture-room in the course of two months. Spanish Work.—In arranging the work at the beginning of the year it was thought best that Brother Thomson should reside in Montevideo and devote most of his time to that city, making a yisit to Buenos Ayres twice each quarter; a Spanish priest, Brother Rial, who has been converted and has united with us, preaching to the Spanish congregation here during the interval of Brother Thomson’s visits. By this arrangement the interest here has been maintained, and the mission in Montevideo has been made a success. The Spanish congregations are large, and appear to be deeply interested. A number have united with the Church on probation, and others, having served out their probation, have been admitted to full membership. At the last sacramental service there were not less than sixty communicants. In our quarterly love-feasts we unite the English and Spanish charges, and give permission to each one to speak in whatever language he chooses. The speaking is principally in English and Spanish, though now and then an experience is related in French or Italian. The singing is in English and Spanish. This mingling of tongues produces no distraction or confusion, but rather reminds one of the day of Pentecost, when each one heard the Gospel in the tongue wherein he was born. These meetings have proved exceedingly pleasant and profitable to us all. In connection with the Spanish charge is a Sabbath-school with an average attendance of about sixty, about half of whom are adults. Brother Alfred White is the superintendent. At the Boca the day-school and Sabbath-school continue as usual. The New Testament and catechism are taught daily, and our Spanish hymns are sung. Dona Fermina de Aldelier has charge of the day-school, and Brother Charles Brill of the Sunday-school. The former has about fifty pupils; the latter averages forty. At Barraccas al Norte Brother Rial preaches on Sabbath morn­ ings at eight o’clock to as large a congregation as the room will hold, and Brother José Cordozo, one of the first converts of the 40 MISSIONARY REPORT. [mo. Spanish Mission, conducts a Sabbath-school. This school has an average attendance of twenty-five. > Brother Rial has started a subscription for the building of a little chapel at Barraccas, and about $750 (gold) have been col­ lected, with which we have purchased and deeded to the Mission­ ary Society a lot suitable for a building site. M o n t e v i d e o .—Brother Thomson has labored in Montevideo under many discouragements, but with success. A revolution has been in progress in Uruguay almost since we began our work in Montevideo. Business has been paralyzed, the banks closed, and, at last, the city is closely besieged by the revolution­ ary party, so that, in addition to the excitement and distraction attendant upon such a state of affairs, many of the people are in actual distress for lack of the necessaries of life. There has been but little rain lately and the cisterns are dry, and water is, be­ cause of its scarcity, sold at an exorbitant price. This state of affairs has been unfavorable to our work, especially in a financial point of view. The English charge has a membership of eighteen/persons, among whom are some very excellent and zealous Christian work­ ers. The English congregation averages about forty, and the weekly prayer-meeting about twenty-five. The English Sunday- school numbers from thirty to forty-five. Some hopeful conver­ sions have occurred during the year. Spanish Work.—The congregation at the Spanish service in the evening numbers from two hundred and fifty to three hundred, though at times there have been as many as four hundred present. Many of those who have been in the habit of attending are now compelled to be in the trenches, defending the city. The mem­ bership consists of thirty-five probationers. Some of these cannot be relied upon, perhaps, while there are others among the number who are substantial and intelligent persons. The Spanish Sabbath- school, recently begun, numbered last Sabbath seventy children. A Bible class is held on Thursday evenings, and is attended by thirty adults. Our friends in Montevideo are much encouraged. Our Church building has been renovated, repapered and painted, so that we now have a respectable place in which to worship and encouraging prospects before us. R o s a b io .—Brother Wood has been in Rosario six months. He has been carrying on the English work, and at the same time ap­ plying himself with diligence to the study of the Spanish language. There are but few English-speaking people in Rosario, and there being an English clergyman there we cannot look for much 1870.] SOUTH AMERICA. 41 encouragement outside of the Spanish work. However, Brother Wood has not labored in vain, and his Sabbath-school, especially, is an important and interesting branch of the work. The follow­ ing is Brother Wood’s report of the work under his charge :

I have been on this ground now exactly six months, having arrived May 1st, 1870. During this time I have been engaged in two things: First, To carry on the English work; and, secondly, To learn the language, necessities, and accessibility of the Span­ ish-speaking people, so as to start a work among them. I report the English work as first, not because it has been my chief work—on the contrary, the study of Spanish and the Spaniards has occupied by far the greater part of my attention—but because I found it on my hands when I arrived, and I have done my best to carry it on, especially planning to make it a preliminary and auxiliary work to the other. 1. The membership is exactly the same as at my coming, except­ ing the addition of the name of Mrs. Wood to the list of members in full connection. The numbers are: Members, males, 5 ; females, 5. Probationers, males, 2 ; females, 3. Total members and pro­ bationers, 15. 2. The congregation increased steadily up to a few weeks ago, since which the public works in the street leading to our church have made it so nearly untraversable as to deter the people from coming, so that this, with the sudden setting in of the hot weather, has somewhat diminished the actual numbers; yet from the steady interest of those who persist in coming, I regard the substantial increase as still going on. The numbers vary from thirty-five to fifty-five on ordinary occasions, and from sixty to ninety on the last Sunday of each month, when Rev. Mr. Combe (the English cler­ gyman) is out of the city, and some of his hearers come to our service. Of the number usually present, from one fourth to one third are children. The most of those who attend regularly attend by families. 3. The Sabbath-school is the most encouraging part of the English work. It has increased more than fivefold in the six months. It includes every American,, child in the city that we know of, besides English, Scotch, Irish, French, and German chil­ dren. The numbers are as follows: May 1st, 1870, boys, 4 ; girls, 4 ; teachers, 1; total, 9. November 1st, boys, 15 ; girls, 19; teachers, 3 ; Bible-class, 12; total, 49. Average attendance: May, 1870, boys, 3 ; girls, 2 ; teachers, 1 ; Bible-class, 0; total, 6. Octo* 42 MISSIONARY REPORT. [18i0. ber, boys, 10; girls, 10; teachers, 3; Bible-class, 6; visitors, 2; total, 31. The gain in the six months being forty-four in the members enrolled, and twenty-five in the average attendance. The Spanish work cannot be reported statistically. It has con­ sisted thus far in my efforts to prepare for it. As to my progress in Spanish, I hope now to be able to begin to preach in it by the time the work in the street is finished so as to make our church accessible. Our location in the English part of the city is no advantage for the native work. But I have recently received con­ siderable encouragement from a very intelligent native lawyer, who confirms my opinion that Rosario is among the least fanatical and priest-ridden of all the Argentine cities, and that the prospects are good for a peaceable and prosperous work here. And facts are constantly coming to my attention which prove that a work begun here is begun in all the upper provinces. Rosario is the key to all the country north and west of this province.

In conclusion, I will say that we are encouraged not only by the measure of success that has attended the mission, but also by the sure indications of greater success in the future. The more intel­ ligent native people are disgusted with the absurd pretensions and ridiculous superstitions of the Church of Rome. And though for the most part indifferent to personal religion, or skeptical with regard to it, they nevertheless favor Protestantism because they believe it beneficial to the masses, and to the general interests of the country. The people are accessible, they are willing to hear; and with the blessing of God, and faithful effort on the part of the laborers, the country will be evangelized.

Baltimore Female Seminary, N. Sites. The Rev. Dr. Maclay, Superintendent of the Foochow Mission in China, reports as follows, namely: A t the annual meeting of the Foochow Mission, held in No­ vember, 1869, the lamented Bishop Kingsley arranged our work in three districts, to each of which he appointed a missionary as Presiding Elder. In January, 1870, Brother Baldwin, in conse­ 46 MISSIONARY REPORT. [1870.

quence of the serious illness of Mrs. Baldwin, was compelled to start with his family for the United States. The work comprised in Brother Baldwin’s district was then divided between Brother Sites and myself; Brother Sites taking charge of the entire field­ work of the district, while the Mission Press came under my care. In consequence of this arrangement about two thirds of our native preachers, members, probationers, etc., etc., were under Brother Sites’s care during the greater part of the year; and it is due to Brother Sites to state that our success as a Mission during the past twelve months has been mainly in connection with the work under his care. During the past year there have been 402 adults and 82 children baptized, making a total of 484 baptisms. We now have 931 members, 969 probationers, and 239 baptized chil­ dren, making a total of 2,139. Our Societies have contributed $537 50 toward the support of the Gospel among them. Brother Sites presents the following very satisfactory and encouraging report of the work under his care: I. F oo chow C it y , (w it h in t h e w a l l s .)—From the days of Brothers Collins and White to the present, over twenty years, successive missionaries have preached the Gospel within the walls of this great city of over a quarter of a million residents. We have one fine Church building, in which many thousands an­ nually hear the preaching of the Gospel, and whence many Chris­ tian books and tracts have been sent forth to various parts of the province. Yet, as to local results, it is our painful duty to state that we have less than twenty converts resident within these city walls. Two other denominations, with five preaching places, would doubtless make no better report as to this city. Who will supplicate and intercede with God earnestly in behalf of Foochow city? XL H o k ch iang D istrict (or C o u n t y ) lies directly south-east of Foochow, twenty miles to its nearest boundary. This district extends some forty miles along the sea-coast from north to south, and some fitly miles east and west. There are many populous islands within its jurisdiction. The population may be estimated at about 300,000, that is, four or five times as great as the popu­ lation of the entire group of the Sandwich Islands; and what a glorious mission-field these islands have been, but how much more glorious may be this one county of the sixty-two of the Fookien province! The first convert from this district was Mr. Ling Ching Ting, baptized at Foochow February 8, 1863, by the Rev. S. L. Binkley. He also baptized other members of the family Novem­ 1870.1 CHINA. 47 ber 22 of the same year. Soon after this Brother Ling Ching Ting was sent to preach, rent a chapel, and thus open the work in the Hokch’iang district city, where the first converts were baptized by Rev. Q. Gibson November 6, 1864. Now, November, 1870, the membership is 395 adults, 80 baptized children, and 479 in­ quirers, a total of 954, in .39 classes or preaching places. During the past year the native ordained men have baptized 201 adults and 47 children in this district. The classes have also contributed some $183 for Church purposes during the year, and have sub­ scribed nearly $200, or one fifth of the whole, toward the support of their preachers next year, besides chapel rents, schools, etc., etc. Where is there a Methodist who will not pray for Hokch’iang this year ? Since Brother Baldwin’s return to America last spring the work in this district has been practically under the constant care of a native elder, Sia Sek Ong, whose labors “ have been greatly blessed to the people.” The Gospel net has been spread forth here for these six years, and the past year over forty names have been cut off from the old list, which leaves the net increase much less than the number of baptisms. The Island op Lamyit is one hundred miles south-east of Foochow. Here, .also, the cutting-off process has been going on, making the numbers thirty less than last year, chiefly among probationers. We trust that this once fruitful branch, by being pruned, may speedily “ bring forth more fruit.” Hingwa prefecture, sixty miles south of Foochow. This prefecture consists of two districts, namely, Pwotieng and Sienyu, on the sea-coast south of Hokc’hiang. There are now 221 members, 31 children, and 442 probationers, total, 694, where two years ago there was only 11 members and 29 probationers. During the past year they have paid $206 for the support of preachers and other church purposes. In the two dis­ tricts there are now 26 preaching places or classes. From the turbulent nature of the people in this (Hingwa) prefecture, and the cruel oppression of the tax-gatherers, serious distractions have many times threatened to arrest the work there. But the Lord has graciously made the wrath of man to praise him, and the remainder of wrath he has restrained. I n c i d e n t s . —1. Brother Tin Kau Se, a helper, was falsely ac­ cused, arrested, beaten, and then led to prison, where he remained some days.' But the magistrate, on hearing the true state of the case from Elder Ling Ching Ting, at once had Brother Kau Se released, and his accusers fined and punished, and all this satis­ 48 MISSIONARY REPORT. [1870. factorily arranged before the Mission had any knowledge of the difficulty. 2. Brother Ting Kie Hwi, a helper near Sienyu city, twenty- five miles south-west from Kingwa city, was arrested on false pretense, taken to the city jail, and there, in presence of the sheriff, was severely beaten, without judge or jury, and cast into prison. Some of our heroic brethren at once reported his case to the mag­ istrate, who summoned Brother Kie Hwi into his judgment-hall, and there the magistrate examined his five wounds, then sent him away in peace to his chapel, and ordered his accusers to be se­ verely punished. The provincial and local authorities have manifested much willingness during the year to carry out the treaty stipulations in regard to the protection of native converts, and to our work in general. Our most southern station is now one hundred miles south, where we meet our Amoy brethren, ninety miles north of Amoy. W e are also now moving the southern wing of our army west­ ward, already thirty-five miles on the way at Sienyu city, and by the new plan of appointments the advanced guard take up their quarters fifteen miles further westward this year. This is along our southern line, eighty to one hundred miles south of Foochow. Our ablest and most successful pioneers, Elder Ling Ching Ting, Song Sa Ch’wang, the first converts in the Hokch’iang district, are, we trust, God’s chosen instruments now leading on this van­ guard of the southern army of the Methodist division of Im­ manuel’s grand army in the Fookien province. “ T h e B altim ore F e m a l e A c a d e m y , instituted by the Misses Woolston at Foochow over ten years ago, now numbers thirty- two ^pupils. Twenty of these have been transferred to the school from the Foundling Asylum, seven are from Christian homes, and five from heathen families. The “ Ladies’ China Missionary So­ ciety of Baltimore” has entirely supported this school for years, and continues to manifest a deep, abiding, and prayerful interest in the school and its pupils. W ould that their devoted zeal for the womon of China could be rewarded with more encouraging re­ sults ! ” Having given the foregoing report from Brother Sites with re­ gard to the work under his care, I now proceed to notice the in­ terests of which I have had charge.

This department of our operations was suspended shortly after our last annual meeting held in November, 1869. The following unanimous action of the Mission, taken December 31, 1869, as­ signs the reasons for this step : “ Whereas, our working force of missionaries is greatly re­ duced, at the same time that our work is rapidly extending, so that no missionary can give the amount of time to the Training School that it requires; and “ Whereas, the rapid extension of the work providentially calls for all the young men qualified to preach to serve at once in the field ; and “ Whereas, we believe that such young preachers can be in­ structed by the helpers in charge of the various circuits better than they can be under present circumstances in the school; therefore, “ Resolved, That, in our opinion, Providence indicates that the school should be suspended for the present. “ Resolved, That the money contributed by friends at home to support pupils in the school be applied to the support of student helpers in our work. “ Resolved, That each missionary give annually to each patron of a student helper under his care, an account of the conduct and labors of said student helper during the year.”

Re-enforcement. Since the date of our last Annual Report it has been our priv­ ilege to welcome to our Mission the Rev. Franklin Ohlinger, of the Central German Conference, and the Rev. Nathan J. Plumb, of the North Ohio Conference. They reached Foochow in good health, on the 14th of October, 1870, and have already entered upon their work as« missionaries to the Chinese. We are much encouraged by the Board’s promptness in sending forward this greatly needed re-enforcement; and we trust the Church will pray earnestly for these young brethren, who now find themselves confronted by one of the oldest forms of heathenism in the world. During 1871 we hope to welcome the return of the Misses Wool- ston to their former position in this Mission; and in due time we expect that Brother and Sister Baldwin, with restored health, will resume their labors here. In conclusion, we solicit for ourselves and the holy cause in which we are engaged an abiding interest in the prayers of the Church. 52 MISSIONARY REPORT. [1870.

Kiukiang. The Rev. V i r g - i l C. H a r t , Superintendent o f the Mission at Kiukiang, China, reports as follows :

1. The excitement consequent to the outbreak in the north of China, has not been productive of good feeling toward missionaries or their work. Probably no city south of Tien-tsin, the place of the tragedies of 21st of June of the present year, has been sub­ ject to more ill feeling toward foreigners than Kiukiang. We are very thankful for the improved condition affairs have at length assumed. Notwithstanding the difficulties that have surrounded us, the work of the mission has been faithfully attended to. The preaching of the Word has been uninterrupted, and, we may hope, not without success. The native helper, Sin Tru Tsai, one of the fruits of this mission, stood up daily with great boldness to preach Christ, while the mission and its members were threatened with destruction by the people. Much temerity is still manifest upon the part of the natives. Many who under ordinary circumstances would visit the chapel keep aloof, fearing the consequences of in any way giving counte­ nance to foreign teachings. The chapel services have not been con­ fined in their influences to this city ; many from adjoining provinces have found the chapel, and heard the Gospel for days in succession. May we not hope that such instruction, followed by fervent prayer, will eventually prepare the way for the introduction of the truth into those distant places ? 2. The Boys’ School, commenced at the beginning of the year, has been nearly self-supporting, so far as the Society is concerned. The native who had charge was untiring in his devotions to the schol­ ars. The subject of Schools has been one of interest to the writer dur­ ing the past year, and it is his firm conviction that as a Church we should do more through the agency of schools. The present Gov­ ernment of China is kept intact by her schools. Withdraw this sup­ port, and China would at once sink into the lowest barbarism. Would it not be well, as a friendly feeling springs up toward us, to interest the people more directly in our system of education? Ought we not at our great mission centers establish schools of a high grade, that will attract the attention of the higher classes, that we may gain the intellect of the land ? Such schools for the first few years must to a great extent be supported by foreign aid. The expense of educating a boy per annum at this place is about $25. Are there not those sufficiently interested in the education 1870.1 CHINA. 53 of China, to step forward and supply the needed funds to commence a school at this place, that shall be an honor to our Church, and have power to break up the present corrupt and debasing systems which hold sway? W e want a school with a hundred scholars. A site can be procured, and buildings put up by foreign aid at this place. I 3. Kiukiang is to most of the Church a new place. Its position upon “ the great river ” makes it not only a natural commercial cen­ ter, but a great missionary center. The legitimate field of the mis­ sion cannot be determined by languages— distance alone defines our working boundary. The same dialect is spoken here as at Nan­ kin, the ancient capital of China, and westwai’d of us for fifteen hundred miles. North to the present capital of China we call it Mandarin. So far, then, as communication is concerned, more than two thirds of the population of China is open to the mission. Prac­ tically, not a tenth of this vast field can be worked from a common center such as we occupy. Within a decade, our Church should have two or three missions to the west of us in the provinces of Hoonan, Sz Chuen, and Wha Chau. To open such missions to the best advantage trained men are needed, men who have had actual experience in mission work. Then, in forecasting for the interests of the Church in this country, will it not be wise to have several young men at this place acquiring the language, and studying the character of the people, so that when the time for advance comes we may seize the earliest opportunity of planting the Cross of Christ in the far west of China ? 4. W e have had great pleasure in welcoming the new re-enforce­ ment, namely, Rev. John Ing and wife, and the Rev. Henry H. Hall. They come to us in the spirit of their Master, full of zeal for the work before them. They are actively engaged studying the language. 5. The excellent church built by the foreign community of Kiu­ kiang has been lately turned over to our control, and now Meth­ odist service in English is conducted each Sabbath. W e have great reason to rejoice in this matter. 6. The past year has not been a fruitless one, though none have been added to the Church. A knowledge of the doctrines has beeu gradually diffused among the people. Our own hearts have been enlarged by the love of God dwelling in us. Our faith has been strengthened in the final conquest of the truth. 7. The present strength of the mission is as follows: Missionaries: Revs. V. C. Hart, John Ing, Henry H. HalL 54 MISSIONARY REPORT.

'Peking. The Rev. L. N. W h e e l e r , Superintendent of the Mission at Peking, China, the capital of that vast empire, in submit­ ting the annual report of that mission writes as follows: In making up the usual annual Report, it becomes us to grate­ fully acknowledge the goodness of our heavenly Father in the preservation of every member of our missions from fatal sickness, and other perils, during the past year. Some of us, indeed, have not entirely escaped the effects of disease incurred in a southern climate; yet health in a great measure has been restored in each instance. A massacre at the port of Tien-tsin, eighty miles from Peking, in which about one hundred native Roman Catholics and several Protestants perished, and twenty-two foreigners were killed, under circumstances of the most horrible cruelty and out­ rage, rendered the position of missionaries in North China one of extreme danger. Fears of mob violence in the capital itself were at one time entertained ; and the peril of the situation was by no means decreased when the fact transpired that leading officials either connived at, or openly countenanced, the terrible occurrences of the 21st of June. There was, moreover, every reason to believe that but for a wonderful interposition of Providence the foreign community of Tient-sin, without reference to nationality or religion, would have been exterminated, which event would almost certainly have involved our destruction in Peking. Dur­ ing the excitement and uncertainty of the past few months we have been sustained and comforted by the assurance that we were at our post of duty, under the all-powerful protection of Him who, with our commission to preach the Gospel in “ regions beyond,” gave us the promise, “ Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.” We have succeeded, not without patient investigation and great expense of time, in purchasing a favorable site for our mission compound in the Northern, or Tartar City. Two comfortable dwelling-houses have been erected, and other necessary improve* ments completed. We have also fitted up a small domestic chapel, 1870.] CHINA. 55 in which, with the assistance of a native catechist, public religious services have been regularly maintained for some months past. The times have been somewhat unfavorable for missionary enter­ prise; still, there is no occasion for discouragement. We are in the midst of a vast, inviting field of labor, and multitudes around us are more than willing to hear the Gospel. Our great want is the means' for building or renting chapels. We have reason to believe that the high Mandarins are opposed to our preaching on the gtreets and in the market-places, but do not object to a less public method of teaching Christianity. We are anxiously looking for an appropriation from the Board to enable us to secure preach­ ing places, without which we feel that we cannot effectively pros­ ecute our work. We have accomplished something in the direction of creating a Chinese Methodist literature in the Court Dialect, the greater part of our Church ritual having been translated, and the preparation of a hymn-book commenced. Our hearts have been cheered by the timely arrival of the new missionaries, Rev. G. R. Davis and Rev. L. W. Pilcher. While we gladly welcome these dear brethren, we cannot repress the hope that the Church meditates still greater things for us, that more laborers will speedily be sent out. Providential openings already invite us to occupy new territory and assume grave responsibilities; but this we cannot safely do without a material increase of our present working force. Brother Lowry’s Report is herewith submitted:

S o u th e r n C it y Circuit.— 1. This circuit consists of a large and populous district in south-east Chihli. Some of the largest cities in the province are included within its bounds, besides a part of the Chinese or Southern City, from which it receives its name. The Southern City contains about one third the entire population of Peking, and in some respects is the most interesting portion of the city. A majority of the inhabitants are native Chinamen, and fewer are met of those indolent classes which abound in the Tar­ tar City, who eke out a miserable existence on the pittance received from the government. • Here is the business, active element of Peking. Here are the large hongs, stores, and markets; club­ houses, theaters, and inns. Here are met the traders from all parts of North China, by whom we hope often to be able to send the Gospel far into the interior, where the missionary seldom travels. Here, too, is sin with all its depraving influences, and vice in forms most abominable. 56 MISSIONARY REPORT. [18*70.

2. What has been attempted.—The burden of our report this year must be of what remains to be done—the opportunities for work in the future. Our principal employment has been studying the dialect; but persevering efforts have been made during the'' year to secure a chapel in the Southern City, but with little encour­ agement. It will not be surprising that we have failed 'when it is known that older and more experienced missionaries of other Societies have not been successful in efforts which have been directed through four or five years. The chief difficulty seeqjs to be the determination of the wealthy merchants and literati to compel missionaries to confine their labor to the Tartar City. Not­ withstanding we cannot report the complete success of our plans, our experience has proved their practicability. A good site has just been offered, but want of funds compelled us to decline it for the present. We hope next year’s appropriations will aid us in the solution of our difficulties. 3.v T\hat is needed.—To enable us to make an impression on some among the five million within the limits of the circuit, we need, first, a substantial and commodious chapel in the Southern City. Thus provided, many thousands would be brought under the sound of the Gospel in the course of a single year. Secondly, we need a corps of native preachers. The great evangelizing agency in China must ever be looked for in the native ministry. With a few well-equipped workers, we might anticipate rapid acquisitions to Immanuel’s army. But to secure such helpers the Gospel must first be preached by the foreigner. “ How shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard ? and how shall they hear without a preacher ? ” Hence, a large foreign force is a greater desideratum in the beginning of the work than after it is more fully organized. More than all, we need the baptism o f fire. This may be sent by the effectual, fervent prayers of the righteous. Trusting to the Master, we hope for a successful future.

68 MISSIONARY REPORT. [1870.

GERMANY. Commenced in 1849. •

BISHOP SIMPSON has Episcopal Supervision. Brother Doering advises us that the war between France and Prussia has done our work much harm. It has called away our young men, and reduced the means of the members, so that their financial affairs press heavily upon them, and yet hopes and confidence prevail. The following remarks on each Circuit or Station in the District are made by Brother Doering.

WTJRTEMBURGH DISTRICT, C. H. D o e r in g , P. E.

H e ilb r o n n D istrict is yet under the charge of C. H . Doering, with two assistants. It has twenty-eight appointments. In one part of the Circuit we had quite a revival; some fifty to sixty pro­ fessed to have found peace with God. 314 members, 185 on probation, 12 Sunday-schools, 25 teachers, 376 scholars. M arbach Circuit is yet under the charge of Brother Goss, with one assistant. It has twenty-one appointments. They held on this Circuit, during the' summer, several wood-meetings, (not camp-meetings,) which were very well attended, by which two new appointments were opened, with very good prospects for the fixture. By a donation of 800 florins, which a sister made, the debts on their chapels have been somewhat reduced. They have three chapels on this Circuit. 365 members, 35 on probation, 1 Sunday-schools, and 250 children. L udwigsburgh Circuit is under the charge of Brother Gisler, with one assistant. It numbers nineteen appointments. Plienin- gen, a new appointment taken up the last year, is yet very prom­ ising. Brother Gisler introduced among his members little Mis- sionary-boxes. They have brought him already 300 florins, which money is used for the payment of our debts on our chapels. Also for this purpose he received a legacy of 500 florins, made by a visitor. These little boxes are introduced among the members nearly on the whole district, and for the same purpose. As soon as the debts on our chapels ai-e paid we may entertain hope for our self-support. 268 members, 50 probationers, 8 Sunday-schools, 400 children. 1870.] GERMANY. 59

V a ih in g e n C ircuit, under the charge of Brother Prante, with one assistant. Twenty appointments. This Circuit has no chapel yet. A lot has been bought in Vaihingen for this purpose, and the members are contributing according to their means to collect a iund to begin as soon as possible. 229 members, 93 probation­ ers, 6 Sunday-schools, and 150 children. C a l w C ircuit is under the charge of Brother Searle, with one assistant. It has twenty-one appointments. During the past year a neat chapel has been built in Calw, and dedicated to the service of the Lord. It costs about 11,00(f) florins, of which only 2,000 florins had been paid. The members are continuing to give their weekly contributions to reduce the debt as fast as pos­ sible. 300 members, 20 probationers, 4 Sunday-schools, and 200 children. H e r r e n b e r g Circuit is under the charge of Brother Staiger, with one assistant, who is now in the army. It numbers sixteen appointments. This is still a promising field oT labor. In Herr­ enberg the members are making every effort to obtain a place wherein to worship God. In Ilaidterbach, a sister who died willed us her house, where the congregation now meets. 77 members, 149 probationers, 5 Sunday-schools, and 200 children. F reudenstadt Circuit is under the charge of Brother Vollmer, and is situated in the Black Forest. It has eleven appointments. A promising field of labor, mostly new'. 20 members, 44 proba­ tioners, 4 Sunday-schools, and 100 children. The assistants are all supported by the Circuits themselves, with the exception of Freudenstadt, where only the half of the salary is made up by the congregation. If our debts on our chapels were paid, the time would not be far distant when this District would be self-supporting.

BASEL DISTRICT, H. N u e l s e n , P. E. In making my yearly report of the Basel District, I thank God for being able to say that we are doing very well as to the spiritual matters. Of course our financial affairs in some places are in great embarrassment. This is particularly the case in Basel, where a debt of 60,000 francs rests heavily on our chapel. It is not possible for us to pay the interest, besides our other expenses, this year. I. On Basel Circuit we, have six appointments, 270 members, 35 probationers, and about 1,000 hearers; 5 Sunday-schools, with 60 MISSIONARY REPORT. [1870.

600 children. We have had some conversions since Conference, and have fair prospects of good times, H. Nuelsen being preacher in charge, and J. Breiter, assistant. II. B e r n C ircuit.— J. Messmer has charge. Four preaching places, 80 members, and 30 probationers; hearers from 3 to 4,000. As Bern is the capital of the Swiss Confederation, the place is of importance, and the Mission ought to be well supported. The Mis­ sion is doing well. Brother Schwarz, from Paris, lives here for the time being, and his help is greatly blessed. The meetings in Bern are crowded, and I hope they will be a great blessing for our work there. , III. B ie l M issio n , G. Bruns, P. E. Five appointments; 145 members, and. 30 probationers; about 300 hearers. This field is doing well as to the support of the work, but they need a good revival very much. *

IV. S chaffhausen , H. Gerdes, P. E. Nine appointments; 202 members, 42 probationers; hearers, about 1,000. Brother Gerdes has some locai help., The work of the Lord seems to flourish in this field. Meetings are well attended. V . X a u s a n n e , F. Deppeler, P. E. Four appointments; 52 members, 17 probationers; about 200 attendance. This mission, in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, has been very useful, and pot very expensive to the Board. The German population here is mostly transient, as in Paris before the war. VI. P aris M ission, W. Schwartz, P . E. His report will, doubt­ less, be welcome to you.

R eport fr o m R e v . W . S c h w a r t z. It is with feelings of sadness that I send you this report on the mission among the Germans in Paris. It was commenced four years ago, and has been a success beyond the most sanguine expectations of its friends, in reference to the spiritual good accomplished and the good influence exercised by its fruits. At our last Conference it reported in all 77 members, but its important fruits cannot be estimated merely by the small number of its membership. We had the privilege of presenting the Gospel to thousands, which, on aceount of the ever-changing condition of the Germans in that city, especially the young people, it was not ¡always possible to gather the fruits of our labors. We are, how­ ever, happy to know that the good is not lost, for all over Ger­ many and Switzerland, and even America, you may meet converts from Paris in connection with our societies. 1870.] GERMANY. 61

We had two preaching places in different quarters of Paris. We hired the chapels of our English and French brethren for our services, and in both places we had, especially in the winter, a good attendance. Congregations.—Many a young man has been rescued from the evil way, and many a young woman preserved in the way of virtue, and been won for Christ and his service. ' All this blessed work has been broken up, and the members of this Mission are at present scattered in every direction by this dread­ ful and bloody war. It was August 28 when we held our services for the last time, for it was that very Sabbath when the French government ordered the expulsion of all the Germans out of Paris within three days. I considered then my labors ended, as I could be of no further service in Paris. I left, therefore, with my family for Switzerland, hoping, however,' to be able to return and resume my labors after a short time. The situation was already such that it was impossible to take any thing along besides our most necessary clothing, leaving the apartments with the Mission furniture, and my private property, under the protection of the American flag, and declaration from our embassy that it is Ameri­ can property. Whether the mission to the Germans in Paris might be resumed after the war has to be left to Providence. The hatred of the French against the Germans may be for some time such as to pre­ vent their return in such numbers as before. It is already three months since I came into Switzerland, assisting the brethren in their labors, and awaiting anxiously the first opportunity to return to Paris, in order to look at least after your and my own property, and to go to any other appointment to which you may decide to send me. In this trying position it is very cheering to me to receive so many letters from the members of my scattered congre­ gation in Paris, informing me that they have joined our societies wherever they could find any, in Germany, England, and Switzer­ land, and that they are keeping faithful in the service of God wherever they are.

BERLIN DISTRICT, L. S. J ac o b y, Presiding Elder.

B e r l in , G. Hauser, Missionary. This society is united, and most of the members are faithful. The meetings, and especially on Sunday evenings, are well attended, and several persons have been converted since Conference and joined the society. The work is progressing. 62 MISSIONARY REPORT. [1870.

ISTetj R uppin, H. Mann, Missionary. This Mission was com­ menced about one and a half years ago by Brother Mann, and has been carried on with success. In the place itself he has a small interesting society, and four preaching places outside. C olberg a n d G r e if e n b e r g , A Leuring, H. Steinbrenner, Missionaries. This Mission lies in the east of Pomerania, near the Baltic. We have a beautiful chapel in Colberg, which was dedicated in August, and which is now, especially on Sunday evening, very well attended. The work is progressing. W altersdorf a n d Z w ic k a u , F . Wunderlich and — Zum- mer, Missionaries. Waltersdorf is the place where we former­ ly suffered much persecution; but the members were faithful, and with the help of the brethren in America we have been able to build a beautiful church with a steeple. And yet we have not had the success we expected. Two new preaching places in the kingdom of Saxony, Elsterberg and Plauen, have been com­ menced with great success. D o r ten dor f, J. Locher, Missionary. This is a part of the former Saxony Mission that suffered so much persecution. We still suffer some persecution there. The circuit is a very large one. Our mem­ bers are very faithful, and souls are converted to God. Brother Locher writes in his last letter: “ W e rejoice and thank God, who has blessed our feeble labor; and though we have paid our principal attention to the existing societies, we have been permitted to re­ ceive, since we labored here, ninety-eight persons on trial, of which fifty-eight members have been received into full connection.” H am burg, H . Schlaphof, Missionary. After many years we have now a small, but a very neat hall for our meetings, in a very suitable part of the city. W e hope for better success.

Brother Wisch- husen was called to the navy to Kiel at the commencement of the war, and I sent Brother J. Sporri, a young local preacher in Bremen, to travel the circuit.

Book Concern, l . s. J a c o b y , Agent. We have been more occupied in all branches of the Concern this year than any year before; but not that we sold as much, but because we were very busy to provide the soldiers of the army with New Testaments and good publications. The report will be sent to the Tract Society, but I wish to remark that the London Religious Tract Society has supported us in this good work with £250 the past year, for which help we are under great obligations to them. We fear that our Book Concern will suffer loss in the balance of account of 1870, for we have sold less, and our freight account has been considerable; for, by reason of the war, the railroads were much occupied by the army, and we had to send our boxes either by express or by mail. I have always regarded our work in Germany as a very im­ portant one; but since this war has made the Germans not only a great but also a united nation* our work has gained in impor­ tance, for “ righteousness exalteth a nation,” and the Lord has appointed Methodism as “ Christianity in earnest ” to lead the nations to righteousness. 64 MISSIONARY REPORT.

BREMEN DISTRICT, E. G e b h a b d t , Presiding Elder. A t the last Conference this District was considerably enlarged by the addition of a part of the Oldenburgh District. B r e m e n , E. Gebhardt, Missionary.— This circuit includes six preaching places and five Sunday-schools. Our congregations are formed of faithful members, anxious to save their own souls and the souls of others. Methodism is well planted here. Y e g e s a c k , C. Weiss, Missionary.— To this place belong four other preaching places, and four Sunday-schools. The mem­ bers are faithful and united, yet but little progress has been made in the last few years. Brother Weiss lives in Bremen, and spends a great part of his time in attending to the affairs of the Book Concern. Brem erhaven, J. Spille, Missionary.—This circuit has three preaching places and one Sunday-school. Our brother labors faith­ fully and with success among the inhabitants, the sailors, and emigrants. The Sunday-school is in a good and prosperous state. Delm enhorst and N eerstedt, C. Raith, Missionary, assisted by two Local Preachers.— The preacher attends indefatigably on foot to his wide-spread stations. The members are good Method­ ists. Five Sunday-schools belong to this work. Oldenburgh, J. Yon Oehsen, Missionary.— This work has seven preaching places and three Sunday-schools. The meetings here are well attended, and our mission is very hopeful. E d e w e c h t and W esterstede, B. Shroeder, Missionary.— This circuit is also very large, but our brother does not fear hardship, and the work is attended by the blessing of the Lord. He serves with his Local Preachers and Exhorters seven preaching places every week, and controls six Sunday-schools. The congregation prospers in spiritual life. Members are Methodists with all their hearts. A u r i c h , F. Cramer, Missionary.— Our brother had scarcely been one day at his new appointment when he received orders to join the army. A t Metz he fell sick, and remained for a time in the hospital; upon recovering he profited by the occasion to bring to the suffering and dying soldiers the comforts of the Gospel. Now he is stationed with a reserve corps at Bremen, waiting fuller orders. In the meantime, one of our Local Preachers, Brother Feldtmann, attends to the Mission. The Lord has blessed his labors, and the Church has grown in grace and numbers. There is a great desire for the bread of life, and we are sorry that we are not able to reach all the places which are anxious to receive us. 1870.1 GERMANY. 65

Netischoo, F. Kluesner and P. Pritzlaf, Missionaries.— This cir­ cuit was at last Conference separated from Aurieh Mission, and has been so largely extended by powerful revivals that we were obliged to give to the preacher one of our students from Frankfort as helper, who resides at Ackummersiel, a little port on the shore of the North Sea. There our Church suffered many persecutions, but had, nevertheless, many conversions. These missions in “ Ostfries- land” are of great importance, counting among their members many respected families which have entirely separated from the State Church, and love the Methodist Church as their mother. A young brother came from this circuit to the Mission House in Frankfort-on-the-Main. Another promising brother was called to the army, and ended his young life in one of the battles; but we are comforted to know that he was also a good soldier under the banner of Jesus Christ, and that he ended his course with joy.

FRANKFORT DISTRICT, Rev. L. N ip p e r t , P. E. Although this District lies in that section of Germany where we had comparatively not so much success as in other parts, yet the work progresses steadily and promises a grand result. At C a s s e l (a city of 40,000 inhabitants) and in its vicinity we opened a Mission a year ago. A small society and an interesting Sabbath-school have been organized. DnxENBUKG M ission, with a very neat chapel, 6 appoint­ ments, 60 members, with 55 children in Sabbath-school, has gained a respectable position, and our prospects for the'future is fair. Brother Hempel, the Missionary, is encouraged. Frankfort-on-the-M atn. — W e count 2 0 0 members, 8 Sabbath- Bchools, 16 appointments, which are supplied with the help of the 66 MISSIONARY REPORT. [1870, students in the Martin Mission Institute. In June we dedicated a very neat and suitable chapel at.Friedrichsdorf It continues to be well filled with respectable and earnest hearers. It was built at an expense of about $2,000, one third of which has been paicf by the members, and two thirds borrowed at 4 i per cent. The English service has been conducted by Rev. Dr. Hurst, Pro­ fessor in the Martin Mission Institute, and is well attended. M a r t in M ission I nstitu te .— W e have this term not more than nine students. The number would be larger if it were not for the war. The place of Brother Paulus in the Institute has been supplied by Dr. Sulzberger, an able teacher. H e id e lb e b g and M a n n h e im , Brother Girtanner, Missionary.— This Mission counts 74 members, 4 appointments, and 2 Sabbath- BGhools. Dr. Vail, American Consul at Mannheim, takes a lively, interest in its prosperity. C a e x s k u h e and P ik m asen s, Brother Rodemeyer, Missionary.— The services in the city, as well as on the different appointments in the country, are well attended, and the membership is increas­ ing. The statistics show 150 members, 3 Sabbath-schools, and 5 appointments. Rev. Mr. Young, from Ohio, American Consul at Carlsruhe, as well as Mrs. Young and Miss Young, are mem­ bers of our society, and take a hearty interest in the mission. P f o r zh e im , Brother Schneebeli, Missionary, has 10 appoint­ ments, 270 members, 4 Sabbath-schools, and a large chapel; it is in every respect in a prosperous condition. L a h r and A lsace, partly the battle-field of the two armies, have suffered greatly; but, as the latter is now under the control of the Germans, we are again permitted to enter Alsace. Our young* missionary, Brother Zipperer, is now residing at Strasbourg, and we hope to extend our work all over that part of the country, arid especially if Brother Schwarz is also sent to Strasbourg, as we hope he will be, to take charge of that promising field. 1870.] DENMARK. 67

W e can say, to the glory of God, that the past year has been one of the most successful in this Mission since its commencement, and the prospect before us is tolerably good if it be carefully man­ aged. Our churches and meeting-houses in nearly every place are too small for the congregations gathering to hear the word of life. Many precious souls have been, converted to God, and not a few have joined the Church. I shall now proceed to give you a short account of each Mission under my care. C h r ist ia n a .— Brother M. Hansen, Preacher in charge. He labors faithfully, and with good success. I am more and more con­ vinced that much good could be done in this city if we only had a suitable place of worship. The poor society in this city have for the present done more than they are really able to do. W e have taken up a subscription amounting to a little over $1,000 in gold, besides securing the lot. The hall in which we now wor­ ship is so crowded from time to time that every foot of room is occupied, and many have to go away on Sundays because there is no room. W e have also preaching in private houses in several 6 8 MISSIONARY REPORT. [1870. parts of the city and neighborhood, besides class-meetings and prayer-meetings which are well attended. H o r ten .— Brother S. A. Stensen is the Pastor, and labors dili­ gently in the cause. He has much opposition from the Lutheran clergy, (and this we have eveiy-where,) still the work is advanc­ ing slowly. W e have in Hprten a rented hall that will seat about four hundred persons. It was well filled last Sunday at our quar­ terly meeting with attentive hearers, and we had a good time, thank God! A small Sunday-school is kept up, and the society is also struggling to keep up a day-school for their children. P oksgrund.— Brother C. P. Rund, Missionary. H e is laboring to the best of his ability, and a few have been converted, and some have joined the Church, but there is not much increase of members because of removals. They have a small church on which there remains some debt, which they are trying to pay off. The religious opposition in this place is not very open, but yet strong. During the last year we have had good attendance. A r e n d a i.— Brother A. Olsen,is the Preacher. He is laboring with success, and is well thought of. W e need a church very much in this city, but the society is too poor, and dare not under­ take to build. W e have a good hall rented, but at times it is too small. Brother Olsen is preaching round in private houses. A t Arendal we have an excellent spiritual society. I have never seen a people more faithful to attend the means of grace. I think, dear brother, that it would do your heart good if you could have the privilege to hear and see them. W e have a small but good Sunday-school in Arendal. Several of the children have been converted to God, and there is a won­ derful religious movement among them. The children are sober, and yet very happy; they have their speaking meetings and prayer- meetings, and some of the children are powerful in prayer. Odaxen.— Brother L. Doblong is the Missionary. I have not been there this quarter, and I have had no report. W e have two churches in Odalen, a few miles apart, on which there remains a small debt. Most of the members have emigrated to America, so that there is only a few left. I think, however, that something can yet be done in this field, because the people will come out to hear the word; but I do not know of any who have joined the Church this quarter. H o land.-—Here we have a small church, but no preacher for the present. • Several of the members from this place have also gone to America, so that but few are left, and they are very poor. 18?0.] NOEWAY. 69

Saepsboeg.— Brother P. Olsen is the Missionary. He came here last spring, and has found favor with the people. Most of the old members have moved away from this place, and those that remain are poor, and live far apart round in the country. I have concluded, the Lord willing, to spend Christmas with them. W e have for the present an interesting Sunday-school in Sarps- borg. When Brother Olsen camie to the place he found only 25 children in the Sunday-schooL During the summer he gathered into the school 108 children. The Society at Sarpsborg is also trying hard to keep up a day- school for their children, but it is almost more than they are able to do at present, together with other current Church expenses. Feedeeekstadt.— Brother B. Johansen is the preacher in charge. He is a young and laborious man, and the Lord has blessed his labor during the year. There is a good deal of debt on the church, but they are trying to pay it off as fast as they can. I have lately beein in Frederikstadt to the quarterly meet­ ing. I stayed there one week, and preached every evening to large and attentive congregations, although the evenings were dark and rainy. On Sunday the church was over filled. The children are attended to, and two Sunday-schools are in operation. Fbedeeikshald.—Brother E. Meissen, Missionary. He is a young man, lately married. The city of Frederikshald has been blessed with a revival part of the year; but here, as well as in other places, not the half of the fruit has come into our Church: ]. Because it is yet quite a cross to become a Methodist in this country. 2. Because it is quite a trouble to get their certificates from the State-Church preacher that they have left that Church; otherwise they cannot join our Church, and much of our fruit is lost. The Board of Trustees at Frederikshald has bought a house in a neighboring village, where several persons were converted last winter, and fitted it up for a chapel, where there is now regular preaching. In Frederikshald we have a Sunday-school, and a day-school for the children, and a good society. You will see from this imperfect report that God is with us; and from the statistics you will see that we have a good increase of members, although many have moved away, some been cut off, and others died during the year. All things considered, we have had a good year, thanks be to God! The figures showing the money raised by the people for Church purposes are all in gold, and thereby you will see that this poor people are trying to do something to help themselves. Please pray for us. Statistics o f Missions o f the M. E. Church in the Kingdom o f Norway for 1870.

BISHOP SIMPSON h as E piscopal S u p e r v isio n .

Y. W i t t i n g , Superintendent. Brother Witting has sent us a lengthy report, covering his whole work. W e have read it with great satisfaction and con­ fidence. The piety and devotion of the brethren breathe through all their work, and the body of members receive the same. The growth of the mission is wonderful, and it is work­ ing its way up to the middle class of society, and', in some instances, to the upper walks of life. This advance is bringing within their reach the means of building churches, and during the last year they have done wonders in this line. Six years ago we had neither preacher nor people in Sweden; now our membership is over 2,000, and our corps of preachers in the field exceeds 22. But we are keeping the reader from the pleasure of perusing this report.

G ottenbu rg, J. Kihlstrom and E. Stenholm, Missionaries.— These two brethren have labored efficiently during the past year, and they have had the great joy to see the work prosper in their hands. The great event of the year was the dedication of our new and comfortable halL Ever since then, but especially during the Christmas holidays, we have had glorious times. Many souls have been converted to God, and our work is gaining in influence and respect. W e preach at three different places in the city at the same hours, the local preachers and exhorters assisting when I am not at home, and every place is well filled with attentive hearers. The members are true and faithful, and the social meetings are well attended. The society counts now 268 members, and the number is constantly increasing. Our Sunday-school here is blessed with prosperity. It has steadily increased dui’ing the year, and the prospects for the future are very fair. It consists now of 20 officers and teachers, and 282 children. W a x d a , J. Nilsson Missionary.— On this circuit Brother Nilsson, assisted by. a local preacher, has labored. They have worked 72 MISSIONARY REPORT. [1870.

faithfully, and they have had cause for rejoicing, for they have witnessed the conversion of many souls. There are six regular Sunday appointments on the circuit, but they preach during the week days in many different places. They are building a chapel in one of the appointments, and they hope to have it ready for dedication early in the summer. There are two Societies in this work, with 2 Sunday-schools and 30 scholars, and 92 members. Wenebsbobg.— On account of local difficulties that could not be overcome for the present this place was dropped as a regular station, but will be served by local preachers. W e have a small society of 15 members, and they are faithful and true. O b e b b o , N . J. Nilsson, Missionary.— A continuous revival has been going on in this mission during the whole year, and the Lord has manifested his willingness and power to save in a wonderful manner. The hall in the city is continually crowded, and the people have long felt the need of a more convenient place of wor­ ship. They have now purchased a suitable lot, and are making arrangements for building a large and commodious chapel during the coming summer. The poor people have subscribed and given liberally out of their scanty means, and being Methodists in spirit and in truth they will surely succeed. There are in all four so­ cieties in this mission: one in the city and three in the country, and the blessed fire is spreading in every direction. N y s u n d .— J. Th. Kjellstrand, Missionary. This society was organized in last July, with 31 members, and now Brother Kjell­ strand reports a membership of 59. Brother Kjellstrand has labored there all last year without salary and without fee, and has been very faithful to his God and Master, and the Lord has re­ warded him with many souls; and this fact has awakened our enemies, who have done all in their power to stop the work, but have hitherto signally failed. S t o c k h o lm .— J. P. Larson, Missionary. Brother Larson, assisted by Brother Liljigren, has labored in this city during the past year until the 1st of October, when Brother Liljigren was sent to take charge of the work in Sigtuna. God has been with his servants in Stockholm, and a good and glorious work has been carried on. W e have only one hall there, but preaching is kept up in private houses in different parts of the city. The work has prospered during the year, and scores of souls have been soundly converted to God and added to the Church. Our society in Stockholm is in good condition, peace and love reign among the members, sinners are converted at almost every meeting, and many are living wit­ 1870.] SWEDEN. 78 nesses to the glorious truth of full salvation. The membership is 251. W e have also a good Sunday-school in successful operation, with 12 officers and teachers and 65 scholars, and several of the children live in the enjoyment of sins forgiven. Sig t u k a .— N. Liljegren, Missionary. This work formerly be­ longed to Stockholm, but was cut off from that city in October last, and Brother Liljegren was sent to reside in the work. He has labored faithfully during these three months; has organized a society of 35 members, has 4 regular appointments, and 2 Sunday- schools with 25 children. G e f l e .— A local preacher from Stockholm removed to this city in the beginning of last year, and he commenced immediately to preach, and God blessed his labor by the conversion of several souls. He has labored there all the year without fee or reward, and is much beloved. A society was organized in last September, when I visited the place. This city is, according to its size, the most important and, wealthy commercial place in this country. W in g a k e r .— F. O. B. W allin, Missionary. The Lord has done wonderful things on this mission during the past year. It is a country circuit, with plenty of hard work. The first society was organized on the 23d of March last, and now we have two societies, six appointments, and 85 members, 1 Sunday-school, and 24 scholars. A r b o g a . — J. Hanson, Missionary. The work on this mission has not prospered as we could have desired, but the reason for this is mainly the difficulty of getting a suitable place of worship. This, I hope, will be overcome this year, and we may then hope to see more success. Brother Hanson preaches regularly in the town of Arboga and in the adjoining country, and the congregations are large. The society in Arboga numbers 30 members, and there is also a good Sunday-school with 3 officers and teachers, and 30 scholars. W axdemarswik. — A . Palm, Missionary. This mission was commenced in October last. Brother Palm succeeded in hiring the only suitable hall in the place, some of the principal citizens going security for the payment of the rent. In the country around the prospects are also very good, and we are gaining the confidence and respect of the community generally. A society was organized in December numbering 20 members, and a Sunday-school is com­ menced with 2 teachers and 19 children. M oen stero se.— C. Wallenius, Missionary. Here we have a good society of 45 living members, and the work of the 74 MISSIONARY REPORT. [1870. * Lord is progressing in all its branches. Many souls have found the Saviour during the year, and the members are very lively. Brother Wallenius preaches regularly in the town and in the adjoining country, and has large copgregations every-where. A very rich gentleman, who owns a large farm in the immediate neighborhood of the town, has opened his mansion for preaching, and there is regular preaching every Sunday morning, and a good Sunday-school has also been started. At our last quarterly meeting both the above gentleman and his lady partook with us of the Lord’s Supper. A chapel will no doubt be built in this town dur­ ing the coming summer. There are three appointments on this mission, 2 Sunday-schools, with 6 teachers and 30 children. Calmar.—D. T. Torlin, Missionary. When I think upon this place, and what the Lord has wrought here, I cannot but exclaim, Truly, a great work is done, and it is marvelous in our eyes! W e have had opposition, but now we have peace. We have a good and commodious chapel here which is always well filled. One of our sisters who is one of the first converts, Anna Wigren, bought the chapel in her own name, and she has bequeathed it to the Methodist Episcopal Church at Calmar. JRyssby, a village about sixteen English miles from Calmar, belongs also to this mis­ sion, and we have a small but good society there. The member­ ship on the mission is 140, and there are 2 Sunday-schools, with 13 teachers and 115 children. Caelskrona.—B. A. Carlson, Missionary. In this city the Lord has done wonders during the year past. In the beginning of February we dedicated our chapel, the first Methodist Episcopal Church ever built in Sweden, and ever since then the Lord’s bless­ ing has been with us there. W e had a heavy debt on it, and I feared very much that we would not be able to pay as it became due; but the Lord was much better than our fears, and there is no danger now on that account. The friends have strong faith and much love, and where these are, things that otherwise would be impossible will easily be overcome. So it has been in Carlskrona, and I thank God for it. In the latter part of July we had our annual preachers’ meeting here, and it was truly a time of refresh­ ing from the Lord both to the assembled preachers and to the people generally. One influential man in the city, a heavy mer­ chant and large manufacturer, was converted early in the year, and he has so far been a great blessing to God’s cause in the place. He has given abundantly of his means for the pay­ ing of the chapel debt and for the support of the Gospel generally, 1870-] SWEDEN. 75 and coming out squarely and openly on the Lord’s side, he has exerted a great influence for good among all classes. He has a large woolen manufactoiy, and every morning and evening he conducts family-prayer with all his hands, one hundred and twenty in num­ ber, in a large hall which he has fitted up for the pui’pose, and every Saturday evening at six o’clock he preaches to them him­ self, thus preparing for the Sabbath. About eighty of the one hundred and twenty hands in the factory are either converted or awakened, and the rest are so far under the restraining influence of God’s holy spirit that not an oath, nor an unkind or harsh word, is ever heard among them. It is a Christian factory in its truest and noblest sense. At our last quarterly meeting he and his most excellent lady joined the Church, and ever since then they have taken a yet more active part in every thing pertaining to. the welfare of our Church. But the work is not confined to the city. God has given us several efficient local preachers, and they are regularly employed every Lord’s day in the adjoining towns and villages, and classes are organized in several places. The whole country hereabouts is open to us, and we have earnest calls from many places, “ Come over and help us.” The Society in Carlskrona numbers 245 members, and there are 3 Sunday-schools on the missions, numbering together 24 officers and teachers, and 250 scholars. W i s b y .—A H. Berg, Missionary. Brother Berg is an inde­ fatigable laborer, and has built a chapel in Wisby on which there is now only a small debt, and, considering the deep poverty of the people, it is truly a wonderful work. He has kept up preaching for a long time twice every day, in the morning in private houses here and there in the city, and in the evenings in the chapel, and as a fruit of such labors many precious souls have been converted and added to the Church. Several of the so-called better classes have lately been converted, and our cause and work have gained the respect of all that part of the community which is not bound up in prejudices and religious intolerance. But not only in the city, but also in the country around, is the blessed fire spreading, and classes and societies are arising in many places. When our chapel in Wisby was dedicated last September I had the honor, by her special invitation, to preach before Her Royal Highness, the Princess Eugenie, at her summer palace, “ Fridhem,” about five miles from the city, and I have reason to believe it was not in vain. The services were held in one of her drawing-rooms, and many of the neighboring gentry and people were present, with 76 MISSIONARY REPORT. [1870 her whole court, the Princess herself playing on the cabinet-organ during the singing. This had a good influence upon the com­ munity, and our cause has steadily gained ever since. The membership is 260, being an increase of 142 during the year. The Sunday-school is flourishing, and numbers 17 teachers and 198 children. O estergabn.—J. P. Danielson, Missionary. This is a country circuit on the island of Gothland, and was last year cut off from Wisby and made a separate mission. Brother Danielson has a large circuit, many appointments, and hard work; butthe Lord blesses his labors, and he has had the joy to see the Lord’s arm made bare in the salvation of sinners. Oestergarn, where he lives, is a sea-port on the Baltic, and there the Society has made the necessary arrangements for building a good chapel during this season. The work is in good condition, the members are lively and faithful, and the prospects for the future are indeed very fair. The membership is 112. P h i l i p s t a d .—G. Fredengren, Missionary. This is a hard field, hard almost as the mountains that surround it, but the Lord is quarrying out some precious stones there. In the town of Philipstad we have made but little progress, but some souls have been saved, and Brother Fredengren writes now that the pros­ pects are brightening. S chools.—But what we much need, in order to give our Church stability and influence in this country, are schools for our children. The children are constantly exposed to violent and petty perse­ cutions because their parents are Methodists, and I wish to God they could be spared these inconveniences. And then the moral influence which is brought to bear upon them in the public schools is not good, and the Church ought to do all in her power to save them from it. An appropriation annually of a thousand dollars would enable us to have schools of all our own in most of our Socie­ ties, and I do wish that the Missionary Board would grant it. It will be as bread cast upon the waters, but it will come back in abundance after (not) many days. Books and Tbacts.— Our monthly paper, “ Lilia Sandebudet,” is doing a silent but a good work. It has fully paid its way during the past year, and its subscription list will be much in­ creased this year. By the generous aid of the Trafct Society of $280 in gold, we have been enabled to publish a few tracts and a new singing book for our Sunday-schools, and we have some tracts now under publication. We need very much a Sunday- 1870.] SWEDEN. 77 school paper for our children, and if the Tract Society -will con­ tinue its aid, we will have one started this spring. Our publica­ tions thus far have done a good work in the spreading of scriptural holiness over this land, and I am personally acquainted with several cases who have been brought to a saving knowledge of Christ through their instrumentality.

May the whole Church pray for her Missions in Sweden, and for me, the most unworthy of all her servants! 00

N o t e .— The Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, recently organized, has also sent two ladies to our mission-field in India: Miss Clara Swain, who has a thorough medical education, and is engaged in the practice of medicine among the women of India, Miss Isabella Thoburn, sister of the Rev. J. M. Thoburn of that mission, and Miss Fannie J. Sparks, who are employed in the zenana work.

BAR EILLY DISTRICT, Rev. T. J. S c o t t , Presiding Elder. The Presiding Elder says: This Presiding Elder’s district includes the civil districts of Bareilly, Budaon, and Shajehanpore, and part of the mountain province of Kumaon. The entire population of the district is about 3,765,580. Each district and the Kumaon work has its station, on which we report briefly. 1870.] INDIA. 81

1. Bareilly District. — The work is in the hands of Brother Thomas and myself. Brother Thomas has charge of the Girls’ Orplianange and the Mission Industrial Institution. The native Church connected with Bareilly Station, apart from the Orphanage, now numbers fifty-five. I can confidently say that these Chris­ tians are much improved since last year. Many of them came to us from different parts of the country where they were gleaning a precarious subsistence, and were inaccessible to proper pastoral care. They now have fixed homes and regular employment and are under constant pastoral oversight, so that they are much im­ proved temporally and spiritually. So far we have had no chapel or regular place of worship in Bareilly for the general con­ gregation. W e are about to erect a Church building suitable to our wants, but regret that so far we have not been able to secure sufficient money to finish it properly. This Church has been a pressing want. W e have now five out-stations connected with this station, namely, Pilibheet, Khera-Bajera, Aligunge, Futhagunge, and Fareedpore. A t three of these we have good houses for the native helpers ; in the other two the houses are rented. In three of them schools are kept up. So far there has been no considerable awakening. However, the usual evangelistic appliances are kept regularly at work with marked good impressions. These out- stations are located with a view to becoming centers of influence, and effort kept up in them persistently for some time must be pro­ ductive of good results.

Girls’ Orphanage and Industrial Institution. Brother Thomas, in charge, writes that “ the condition and in­ terest of the Orphanage remain about the same.” The statistics of the Orphanage are : Number of orphans, 138; marriages during the year, 15; deaths, 4; received, 23; increase, 2. I may say that this Orphanage was never in a more prosperous condition. It is undoubtedly a useful institution in our district. Numbers of girls are saved through it from lives of unutterable shame in this world and from eternal ruin. These girls as a rule make the best native Christian wives and nlothers in our mission, and, as may be seen above, a good number of them go out annually. The Industrial Institution built up by Brother Thomas con­ tinues to flourish. This institution was mentioned last year as 6 82 MISSIONARY REPORT. [1870. hrving been established for the relief of poor Christians. A village of forty families has grown up in connection with it. Sixty-three Christian men and forty Christian women find employment here. They are engaged in making cabinet furniture; in working in iron and brass; in weaving carpets, cotton cloth,towels, etc. Manu­ factures to the amount of $8,556 were turned out of this establish­ ment last year. As an experiment it is fully self-supporting. It must not be thought that there is something in all this tending to the error of communism. Our rule is to leave the Christians among their own people and at the work in which they are found. This Industrial establishment is simply to afford relief to Chris­ tians who lose their means of livelihood on professing Christianity, or whose support has become in some way precarious by this pro­ fession. It does thus often happen. Those employed in the institution receive wages simply for the work they do, and no idle­ ness is encouraged. Medical Work in Bareilly.— It is in place here to say that Miss Swain’s work as a Medical Missionary has more than met all we had hoped for during the past year. She has been able to treat hundreds of cases, and has been called to the best families in the city and surrounding country. Attention has been arrested and a good deal of interest awakened by this phase of Mission work. Important opportunities of recommending Christianity are afforded. Such are the social prejudices of the country that the higher class of women are almost entirely without medical treatment, and are inaccessible to any but the nearest relatives. Miss Swain has been able to go freely every-where. Blessings to this people must result from her work. BuDAOisr D istrict. — The work under Brother Haskins in this district has been very encouraging during the past year. It is chiefly among people of low caste, but who are intelligent and thrifty, and bid fail* to rise rapidly in importance as a native Church. Brother Haskin’s report is here inserted. “ I feel very happy in being able to report to you so many sub­ stantial tangible results of missionary labor during the past year. Forty-one persons have been baptized, who with scarce an excep­ tion are an honor to Christianity, and live among their kindred, Belf-supporting and zealous for Christ. "We have been graciously visited with an outpouring of the Holy Spirit, whereby many have been brought to consider about things eternal and cast in their lot with ns. A t Mundea, four miles from Bisowli, there are twenty probationers who have been nnder instruction preparatory 1870.] INDIA. 83 to baptism for several months. At Keturah more than double that number are on trial six or seven months, and they have given us every satisfaction up to this time. A t Islamnuggar we sta­ tioned a helper in March and baptized two brick-makers. The people are very favorable, and give good evidence of a desire to flee the wrath to come. At Bisowli we opened a small school with a Christian teacher in February, and two months ago eight of the best men of the village presented themselves for baptisp; but they were requested to wait until the time of the protracted meeting at their village in order that they might bring their families with them. W e opened another out-station, Kakrallah, where there are four Christian families, but have not sent any helper because of lack of a house for him to live in. The work at Saheswan has greatly improved during the past three months, chiefly because I was enabled to secure the services of Munshi Behari Lai, who was bap­ tized by you two years ago. I believe he will become one of our most efficient and reliable preachers. Bilsi, which was opened in February, bids fair to become one of our most fruitful centers of Christian labor. The twenty baptized, with the forty non­ baptized probationers, attend the daily and Sabbath services, and give earnest heed to the word spoken. I hope to erect a small substantial building here, and also one at Bisowli that shall answer the threefold purpose of church, school-house, and lodging- house for the Missionary. At present the work is greatly cramped from lack of such a building, and regular visitation by the Mis­ sionary is impossible half the year. The work among the Thakurs is greatly on the increase. Narayan Sing has devoted himself entirely to the work of the ministry and gives good evi­ dence of being called of God. Three young men of the first class in our Anglo-vernacular school are hopeful inquirers, one of whom has asked to be bap­ tized next month. Our new school-house is nearly completed, is well situated, and finely adapted to our needs. W e have seven schools for Christians, containing about one hundred and twenty- five scholars, and one Anglo-vernacular school in Budaon city for all classes containing about 60 scholars. 3. Shajehanpore D istrict. — I can do nothing better than insert Dr. Johnson’s report of his work in this district. Only in this way can the reader of the annual report get a complete view of our work in this Mission. “ The Church here is divided into two congregations: one in 8 4 MISSIONARY REPORT. [1870. connection with the Orphanage, numbering 180; the other, at Panahpore, the new Christian village, numbering 110. The aggre­ gate number of communicants is 123; 36 adults and 48 children have been baptized during the year. “ Constant effort has been and is being put forth to instruct the native Church in the great necessity of a thorough change of heart, wrought by the immediate agency of the Holy Ghost. While there is some encouragement, it is evident that degrada­ tion and ignorance prevail to such an extent as to cause this higher spiritual work to progress very slowly. But as the foundations of Christ’s Church cannot be laid, nor the superstructure erected without this heart-purifying work, this. is evidently the first and most important work of the Christian Missionary. “ Bazaar and V illage Preaching. — Preaching in the bazaar has been earned on much as usual, while more systematic efforts have been put forth in the village work. Brother Sunder Lai, the native Missionary, in company with a colporteur, guided by a map of the civil divisions of the district, has undertaken to visit and preach, and leave a portion of God’s word, where it can be read, in every village of the district. In the city a substantial chapel of good size, with a book-store on one side and a veranda in front of both, has been erected within the year, and as soon as the seats, which are being made, are ready, divine service will be commenced and regularly kept up there. The chapel is so constructed that Hindoos and Mohammedans, both rich and poor, can find no objection to attending. The cost, including the pur­ chase of the land, will be about 1,500 rupees, most of which will be provided from local funds. The collector of the district and other gentlemen have shown great kindness in helping forward the enterprise. “ Panahpore Christian V illage. — There are now thirty-four Christian families, containing one hundred and ten souls, in the village. A good chapel and school-house, also the native Pastor’s house, and twenty-four houses for the families, have been erected at a cost of 2,408 rupees. The families have had to be furnished with money to live upon while clearing the land to the amount of more than 2,000 rupees, and still some of them need help; while several other families have had to be refused and turned away, because of inability to assume further responsibility in this direc­ tion. An appeal has been made through the press for donations for a loan-fund of 5,000 rupees for the assistance of such families as might want to settle in the village; in response to which about 1870 3 INDIA. 85 1,000 rupees have been received. This fund is a pressing want. The health of the villagers remains good ; they are working well, "being much encouraged by the good crops raised upon their little fields, which they have already cleared. The establishing of a permanent Christian community here must do very much toward the planting of Christ’s kingdom in this part of India, which is the sole object of the enterprise, and to this end assistance is asked. Our thanks are due to the Oudh government for 350 rupees, “ building grant ” for the school-house, and 25 rupees per mensem grant in aid toward the school. Boys’ Oephanage.— There are 141 boys in the Orphanage and 7 boarders, making the present number in the Institution 148. Three of the larger boys have gone out, under appointment, within the year, and four little famine-stricken boys, received last year, have died. There are a number of lads who are old enough to leave the Institution and earn their own livelihood as soon as the way may open lor them to do so. The school has attracted the attention of many natives in the city, and from 20 to 30 day- Bcholars, Hindoos and Mohammedans, attend and recite with the orphan boys. The mechanical department continues to increase in interest, and most of the boys who are large enough are learn­ ing trades by which, if necessary, they can in after life earn their livelihood; but this is not allowed to interfere with their studies. B i g boys are more restless and more difficult to manage than little ones; hence, as more of the boys become nearly grown, greater attention has to be paid to discipline. But in general the deportment has been good, and I trust that the examination will show good progress in study. The care of so many boys, day and night, year after year, is often very wearisome ; but the hope that a goodly number of them will become useful members of society, and some of them preachers of the Gospel to their perishing countrymen, gives encouragement in this great work. Let God’s people continue to pray for this Institution ! The city and Tilhur schools are both progressing finely. The school at Purwayen is increasing in interest, and the two girls’ schools in the city are doing good work. The Panahpore school, composed of both boys and girls, has recently been commenced, hut will do a good work for this new Christian community. The work of dispensing medicine has so increased as to necessi­ tate the employment of a native doctor. From four to five hun­ dred patients a month receive treatment. Government has been asked by the District Dispensary Com­ 8 6 MISSIONARY REPORT. [1870. mittee to supply the medicine, and give a monthly grant of 25 rupees toward the current expenses of the Dispensary. In reality a medical mission has quietly opened up without any effort to establish such. Another year’s work— trying, anxious work— is done. 0 may it be owned by the Master! 4. The Mountain Province of Kumaon.—-Dr. Humphrey’s report is not long, and it presents an excellent view of what is being done in his field. Our work in this station presents no especially new feature at the present time. The year has been one of toil and some pros­ perity. The public services, Hindustani and English, have been regularly sustained, and with encouraging results. Our two Sunday-schools, in connection with the above services, have been attended with considerable interest. During the last cold season we had ten schools for boys and three for girls in operation at different points in the Bhaber. There were about 500 pupils in the former and 50 in the latter. Some of these schopls were closed during the hot season, and others were opened at different points in the Hills. The boys’ school in Nynee Tal itself has been more largely attended this year than ever before, and quite a number of the boys have attended the Hindustani Sunday-school. A girls’ school was opened in the bazaar in the early pa'rt of the season, and for a few months there were 20 girls in attendance, but latterly the attendance has fallen off. Last cold season, at Haldwani, one of the women of the medical class was called to a family to treat a sick woman. This led to a very pleasing opening for zenana work. Several women have learned to read fluently, and they are eager for Christian books, and a great change is being made in these families. In the early part of the season a man of importance (a Zaminder, land-owner) was baptized. He has been able to hold his position in his village, and we have just learned that his wife also desires baptism ; and there are others in his village that seem disposed toward Christianity. The medical class ha» just been closed for the season. There have been nine females and five males under instruction from April 1 up to October 15. Four of the women and one young man have just been passed by a medical committee, and have received certificates as native doctors. One of the women will leave in a few days for Lucknow, to be associated with Miss 1870.1 INDIA. 87

Thoburn. 'In that large city I trust her knowledge of medicine will make her a very useful helper. Another was sent to the class by the Propagation Society Mission in Delhi, and will return in a few days to be the assistant of a lady medical missionary expected from England to join that mission. , Dr. Clark, Inspector-General of Hospitals in the north-west provinces, and chairman of the medical committee before men­ tioned, says in a note just received, which was accompanied with a present of |8 for one of the women as a prize for skill in bandaging, “ We are very much pleased with our visit to your medical school. The progress your pupils have made does you the greatest credit, and I am sure they will remember your care and kindness as long as they live.” Some funds have been raised by a friend to enable me to build an addition to our medical building for hospital accommodar tions. We have suffered great inconvenience by not having such accommodation this season. Several surgical cases have pre­ sented themselves, but we could not take them. Our out-door patients at our dispensary here have averaged two and three hundred during each month. Among our patients we have had some of the most difficult and dangerous in parturition. This work is constantly growing in our hands. The better families are beginning to engage the attendance of one of our female doctors in advance in cases of parturition, which is an indication full of encouragement, as hitherto aid has not usually been sought from us until the patient has been brought to the very point of death. The Turai, with one of the purgunahs of the Moradabad dis­ tricts, has been recently to Kumaon. I have been requested to take charge of the Dispensary at Kashipore. I am also requested to superintend a number of schools, and to arrange for opening others. This is a large and important opening, such a one as is seldom presented. All these schools are opened entirely under our control. We can preach in them and direct them for evan­ gelistic purposes without the least restraint, and their expenses are entirely met by government. So of the Dispensaries; they may be used as freely for doing good as though they belonged to the mission. This work has opened upon me here unexpectedly, and I think providentially. I think it may be readily seen that I cannot do all the work of JSTynee Tal station, and this large amount of school and medical work also. I think I ought to be relieved of the English preaching and supervision of the school in Nynee Tal 8 8 MISSION-AEY REPORT. [1870. another year, and thus be left free to carry out my plans as a medical missionary. I cannot better close this report than by calling attention to the fact that 110 adults were baptized in this district-during the year. At this early stage in the history of this mission this indi­ cates a gracious work of the Lord in our field. Let it be noticed, too, that 693 “ non-communicant adherents ” are recorded. These are adults and children in some way identified with us as mis­ sionaries, and are coming forward for admission into the Church. They are the visible evidences o f a ripening harvest, and show that a large native Church will in time be founded here. It remains only to say that Bishop Kingsley’s presence refreshed us greatly; and in lamenting his death we grieve, too, that he did not live to represent our work, in which he showed so much interest while here.

LUCKNOW DISTRICT.

Rev. J. M. T h obu rn , the Presiding Elder of Lucknow Dis­ trict, writes as follows: The progress of our work in this district during the past year have been for the most part satisfactory, although we have met with no special success. Owing to the reduced number of mis­ sionaries in the field, three of the stations have been unoccupied during the year, and two of these vacant stations report a decrease in membership. The remaining appointments report a slight in­ crease. W e hope to re-occupy two of these stations when our ex­ pected re-enforcement arrives, and we have good reason to hope for much better success next year than we are able to report at present. L u c k n o w . Brother Messmore, who resides in a western suburb of the city called Hosainabad, has charge of the work in the great­ er part of the old city, embracing most of our city schools. Brother M. has assisted regularly in the English work in East Lucknow, and has also preached in the bazaar as far as able; but his chief work has been in connection with our schools. He re­ ports a year of great discouragement. The best school building we had was destroyed by a flood some months ago, and he is at present unable to find a building for the school in a suitable part of the city. The attendance at the central school has fallen off, and he entertains little hope of improvement until a proper build­ ing can. be procured. One of the branch schools has improved very much during the year, but the others have not done so well. Two new girls’ schools have been opened, and are doing well. Brother Messmore maintains a Hindustani service and Sabbath- school, but owing to the want of a suitable place of worship, as well as to the remote position of the mission house, the attendance is small. We are all convinced that our location in Hosainabad is very unfavorable to our work, and the Board has already been asked to authorize us to sell our property there, with a view to moving to a more central position. E a s t L u c k n o w . Dr. Waugh writes: “ The work in East Lucknow consists of bazaar preaching, the Mission Press, one boys’ school, three girls’ schools, and chapel services in Hindustani and English. Both the Hindustani and English services have greatly increased in numbers and interest, the latter having about doubled. In this service Brothers Thobum and Messmore have assisted reg­ ularly. A good chapel for both the Hindustani and English serv­ 1870.] INDIA. 91 ices is greatly needed, to take the place of the room now occupied in the mission house, and it would, perhaps, be good policy for the Board to send a man for the special work of laboring among the poorer English-speaking classes around us.” S e e t a p o r e a n d Lttckimpoee. Brother Knowles writes: “ A Sabbath service in the vernacular in the morning, and one in En­ glish in the evening, have been kept up regularly throughout the year. The attendance at the former has been about 30; at the latter the chapel is usually quite full. Class meeting is held once, and prayer meeting twice every week in tlie vernacular. An English preaching service is also held on Wednesday evening. Bazaar preaching has been carried on regularly. “ Two Sunday-schools are carried on, one at Seetapore, and one at Khairabad. The former contains 14 children and 20 adults; the latter 15 boys, all pupils of the day-school. “ The Khairabad school has numbered a daily average of about 50, with 80 names on the roll. From the Government examina­ tions just taken we learn that the pupils have made very fair prog­ ress, but the attendance is not as large as it should be. “ One woman and six children have been baptized, and two per­ sons admitted into the Church. At present there are 28 mem­ bers and 7 probationers connected with the station and its out- stations.” G on d ah . Brother Weatherby was transferred from Bahraich to this station at our last conference, but subsequéntly the Bah- raich work was attached to Gondah, thus giving him control of both stations. He has opened a new boys’ school during the year, and has about completed arrangements for two new girls’ schools at one of the out-stations. One adult has been baptized during the year. Gondah is the central station of a very populous and important district, and affords us a very promising field for our work. Next year, when a missionary is located at Bahraich, we hope to carry on our work more efficiently, and we trust that the day is not far distant when we shall gain' a firm foothold in that part of Oudh. I have nothing to add about our stations at Roy Bareilly and Nawabgunge, save that the former has suffered much on account of the absence of a missionary. It is a most important point, the center of a population as large as that of Pennsylvania, and we sacrifice both duty and interest when we leave it unsupplied with an efficient resident missionary. . 92 MISSIONARY REPORT. [1870.

THE MISSION PRESS. Brother Waugh, who has had charge of our Press since its first establishment in 1860, furnishes the following statement: “ During the past year there have been sixteen different books, large and small, issued from the Mission Press. The three largest and most important among these have been: An edition of ,the larger portion of our Hindustani hymn-book, in the Nagari char­ acter, for such as cannot read the Roman. Three thousand copies of a book in lithographed Urdu, 476 pages, entitled “ Scripture Selections,” consisting of those portions of the Old and New Tes­ taments best suited for school-children and those not far advanced, to read and understand. It has been well received, and already a large number are in use. A second edition of our Roman Urdu hymn-boo'k, revised and improved, having been called for, is now passing through the press, and is nearly ready. “ The whole number of pages of books, tracts, etc., issued du­ ring the past year is 3,490,000. The present number of books tracts, tract volumes, Sunday-school, controversial, and other relig­ ious books, is sixty-four. Year by year our little catalogue grows. Some of these books have gone through their first and second editions, and others are called for. Nearly all of them are gold, many, however, at nominal prices. “ The number of workmen employed in the Press is : Typo­ graphic department, 12 ; lithographic department, 15; book- bindery, 7. Total, 34. “ The two papers, the “ Christian Star ” and the “ Sun,” are both highly appreciated, and their influence, already felt for good, is steadily extending. The former paper is intended more especially for native Christians, while the latter is for more general circulation among all classes. The circulation of these two papers is far beyond that of any similar papers in India, and the result is to give life and interest to our work, as well as to spread light and truth through the provinces where their pages are read.” I rise from writing this report to start immediately for Cawn- pore to meet our missionary re-enforcement. Ten days later we hope to meet Rev. Wm. Taylor, the well-known Evangelist. Thus strengthened, we propose to make an earnest effort for a re­ vival in Lucknow, to be followed by similar efforts at other points. God is showing us tokens for good, and we hope for glorious vic­ tories before the close of another year. Numerical Statistics o f Lucknow District, India Mission Conference.

MORADABAD DISTRICT.

Rev. H. M a n s e ll, the Presiding Elder of Moradabad Dis­ trict, writes as follows:

In giving the Annual Report of the Moradabad District, I may say that only three fourths of the year’s work on the district is mine, as three months of the Conference year yet remain, and only three rounds of quarterly meetings have been held. The change of elders, however, though giving less work to the dis­ trict, has not brought in any new plans, so the work has gone on much as usual, though receiving valuable help from Brother Wilson, who was stationed here to relieve me for the district work; yet the building, etc., have kept me closer here than is.for the good of the whole work. There are five principal and fifteen sub-stations in the district, and as the latter are all in the care of native brethren, there is work- enough to occupy the whole time of a Presiding Elder. I confidently hope our present re-en­ forcements will enable us to so arrange the work that one man’s time can be given to the district. The statistics are for the whole year, and show satisfactory re­ sults. It might be asked, W hy should not the increase of agents show a corresponding increase in membership and baptisms ? I remark: 1. The Presiding Elder last year lived in a central place, and could readily aid any point needing help. 2. W e have more agents, but four new and important sub-stations having been oc­ cupied, the force has really been weaker. 3. The decrease in members is partly owing to removals in search of employment. The probationers are increased, so the total communicants are the same as last year. 4. The falling off in the number of bap­ tisms may be partly accounted for by the fact, that as Christianity becomes more fully understood, a higher standard of preparation for it is required. There are also many reported as waiting till some one may come and administer the ordinance. 5. The in­ crease in schools and scholars shows that the school work is still pressing upon us. - Moradabad and Chandusi.—Until Brother Elliott was able to take fall charge of the city schools, Brother Wheeler did almost three men’s work; in fact, all the year he has done more than any one man ever ought to have pressed upon him; yet he has steadily and systematically kept pushing every thing forward. An appointment in English has been kept up during most of the 1870.] INDIA. 95 year, and a congregation of about seventy English and English- speaking natives attend. The local preachers, exhorters, and colporteurs have been kept regularly at work preaching in the bazaars and villages and distributing the word of life. The Sun­ day-school and daily prayers have been kept up steadily, and as a result the native Church is in a better moral and spiritual con­ dition than ever before, and there are manifestations of good all over the circuit. One man of ninety years has just been baptized. The Christians at Kashipore and Chandusi have been persecuted, and efforts made to keep them from the wells. The school-work has prospered. Sambhal and Hassanpore.—This circuit was placed in charge of Rev. James David, native missionary, who was ordained deacon by Bishop Kingsley. He began the year’s labor fairly, but soon a system of persecutions against him was begun by one Matthew Brown, a native school-teacher, who had been dismissed, and who falsely thought James David had been the cause of his dismissal. His efforts at scandal and litigation were so persistent and multi­ farious that it was feared James David had fallen into the sin of bribery, falsehood, etc., to save himself. I called a committee on his case, and they thought best to suspend him, and I fear he may be expelled at our next Conference. The Church under his care has dwindled to almost nothing, which accounts for much of the falling off in our statistics; and he was so engaged with his troubles and lawsuits as to almost neglect bazaar preaching. The schools have increased. A site for the new school-house has not yet been secured. Amroha and JBdbukhera.—Rev. Zahur-ul-Huqq, native mis­ sionary in charge, was ordained deacon and elder by Bishop Kingsley at our last Conference. He has attended to all the du­ ties of his charge with humility and zeal. All the means of evan­ gelization have been faithfully plied by him. He has schools, as well as preachers and exhorters, under him, and his pastoral duties are never neglected. He has a boarding-school for native Chris­ tian boys at Babukhera, and one for girls at Amroha, where he lives. He has lately obtained from Government a handsome prop­ erty for this girls’ school, which is really a model native school. A lot of ground has also been secured for a grave-yard. The cheapness with which mission work can be carried on by purely native agency is clearly seen in the success of Brother Zahur-ul-Huqq. O that God may multiply such helpers ! A t Bashta, where Prem Das, local preacher, was stationed, and in 9 6 MISSIONARY REPORT. [1870. and near where about one hundred Christians and “ non-commu­ nicant adherents” lived, a storm of persecution arose, scattered the flock, and intimidated others favorably disposed. Brother Prem Das was ejected from the village, and the combination was so strong that he could not obtain a house within ten miles of the place. He visits them still. Pray for this flock. Many baptisms reported lsat year were at Bashta. All our efforts to obtain land to build, or in any way to get a foothold near the place, have failed. JSijpour.— Brother Jackson and Ambica Churn Paul were placed in charge at last Conference. Brother J. has wrought very hard, and I think has every reason to be encouraged by his work. He is a most indefatigable missionary, and perhaps the best bazaar preacher in our mission. He reports as follows : In Bijnour bazaar preaching has been kept up by Brother Thomson, Kanhai, and myself. W e have preached most of the year three times a week, and met no settled opposition, but usually found good congregations. The Church-membership is the same as at the commencement of the year. W e have had a Sabbath morning service, Sabbath-school in the afternoon, and prayer-meeting hi the evening. On Thursday evenings we meet for class-meeting. The male members have met every evening for prayer at the Mission hoixse, and after the devotions those who could not read were instructed. Two of their number have made good progress. The school has fallen off since my coming. I found a number of boys receiving scholarships, but as the funds of the school will not admit of the outlay I was obliged to discon­ tinue them, and lost many of the pupils in consequence. The average attendance has been 45. In Nujeebabad Brother Paul has preached regularly in the city bazaars and streets. He has also held Sabbath morning serv­ ice at his house. Usually ten or fifteen attend. All who could at­ tend have been present at evening prayers at his house. While Brother Kanhai remained there he visited the lower classes of the people, and opened a school for their children. The boys’ school has made very fair progress. The attendance has been good; average over 50. The girls’ schools are small as yet. The girls are taught to read and write. A few have shown a degree of aptitude which is very encouraging. In Nugeena Brothers Bannerji and Kallu have preached two or three times a week, but report nothing special in that work. Brother B. has faithfully endeavored to collect the few proba­ 1870.] INDIA. 97 tioners for Sabbath morning service, but has found it difficult to induce them to attend. They are now improving, and we trust they may ere long learn to say, “ I was glad when they said unto me let us go up to the house of the Lord.” Two have been dropped for immoral conduct. The school has met with some re­ verses. The course of study in Persian and Urdu was changed, and one of the teachers was thus relieved of his duties, and when he was dismissed a number of the boys left with him. A t Mandawar Brother Kanhai has spent several weeks at different times with the probationers. He has formed a class for their children, and talks and prays with the inquirers. A t Nehtaur Brother Kallu spent two months with the inquirers. He reports very unfavorably of them. He has been obliged to return to Nugeena, as the owner of the house he occupies, a bigoted Mohammedan, turned him out. At Chandpore the school was closed for two months, but is again opened. Not much has been accomplished there yet. Several short tours for preaching was made .at the beginning of the year. I visited several of the large towns and villages, staying several days in two of them and preaching in the bazaars. I am convinced that a regular system of visitation of the various schools on the circuit would do much to keep up the interest. Could the missionary keep two houses at the expense of the school fund he might visit all the school* monthly, and be absent but a few days of each month from his special duties. I intend in December (D. V.) to form a Teachers’ Convention, and try if pos­ sible to make the teachers feel they are working together and for an object beyond their pay. On the whole we are discouraged by the results of the past year. W e have not been ;as devoted and earnest as we should have been, and our unfaithfulness must have had much to do with the small lack of success. I assure Brother J. the circuit is better than he found it ; but 0 how we do desire more fruit! Gurhwal, (Paori.) Revs. H. Mansell and P. T. Wilson are in charge. Paori is the principal station and the seat of Government forthe province of Gurhwal. The Church has increased in numbers, and very much improved in moral and spiritual life. Most of those who were helped in our little revival last year are growing in grace. They know what experimental religion is. The at­ tendance at daily prayers is good, and about thirty persons are able to read the lessons in Hindu. The-Sunday-school, with its more than one hundred persons in twelve classes, is one of the 7 98 MISSIONARY REPORT. [1870.

most delightful services I haVe ever witnessed. I have seen several heathen boys stand up Sunday after Sunday and recite one hundred or two hundred verses without stopping. Dare any one say that this word of the Lord will return unto him void ? The new grant of Sunday-school books sent by Dr. Wise has just reached us, and he has hundreds of thanks for them from these ends of the earth. The boarding-school, as was expected, is larger than ever before. It has reached one hundred and ten boys on the roll, and is thoroughly a mission school. The boys all like the Bible lessons, and nearly all attend Sunday-school and preach­ ing. The local Government pays for eleven scholarships in the school. Sister Wilson has had most of the care of the orphan girls’ school here, and it has improved much this year. There has been a fair amount of preaching to the heathen this year, though, without a supply of mountaineers to go from village to village, this work is sufficient except in court months. We have a colporteur paid by the North India Bible Society, who is selling Bibles and Tracts throughout the province. At Sreenuggar Brother Thomas Gowan, local preacher, and J. O. Rouser. exhorter, are boys from the Orphanage at Shahjehanpore. They are doing a good work. They have one boys’ school and two girls’ schools in their care ; the latter are doing well, and the former is in excellent order. It is thoroughly a mission school. The Bible is taught and prayer offered daily, and all the boys, as well as thirty girls from the girls’ schools, attend Sunday-school. This Sunday-school is just as interesting, though not quite so large, as the one here in Paori. The brethren have preached almost daily to the heathen, and during several months have preached more than once a day to crowds of pilgrims on their way to the shrines of Badrinath and Kidarnath. The sub-station at Bangar, thirty miles from here, is in charge of Harkna Wilson, who has preached faithfully in the villages adjacent, and started a little school which both boys and girls at­ tend. His wife teaches while he is out preaching. They have taught those villagers much of the Bible and Catechism, and in­ duced them to learn to sing many of our hymns. It is a new but promising work. The new Mission house here in Paori is well under way, and we shall soon begin the new school-house and chapel, which we hope to see under roof before the next rains. Then a small outlay will turn the old school-house into a comfortable residence for a 1870.3 INDIA. 99 second missionary, and we shall not need to build, here any more until Guhrwal is connected with this appointment. We are disappointed that the medical lady appropriated, for by the Womans’ Missionary Society did not come this fall. We need medical aid here all the time. There is not even a native doctor near. I might have mentioned many more interesting matters both here and in other parts of the district, but enough is said to show you that we are all hard at work and seeing some fruit of our labors. To God be all the praise ! Pray for these perishing millions! Numerical Statistics o f Moradabad District, India Mission Conference.

DENMARK. .Rev. 0. Willerup is Superintendent of this work, and it is •under the Episcopal Supervision of Bishop Simpson. Brother Willerup’s report for 1870 says :

As another year of labor and toil has ended, I herewith send you my report. It has also been a year of trials to me in more than one respect, and a year of varied events and feelings. But I must also say, to the praise of God, that we have had prosperity on our missions generally. Gracious visitations from above have cheered and refreshed us, for sinners, old and young, have been truly converted to God and are now rejoicing ; more are awakened, and we hope that soon they also will give their hearts to God, and go with us to the land of which the Lord said, “ I will give it you.” Many of our members are pressing toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus, and give glory to God. They are very punctual in using the means of grace, and are exerting themselves to get others to hear with them the preaching of the word. I shall now give you the translation of the reports which I have just received from the missionaries. V e il e .— Brother B. Smith, Missionary, and Brother I. Christen­ sen, Assistant. Brother Smith writes, under January. 18, “ When I look at the spiritual condition of our Society, the labor of love of many of our members, and the interest they manifest in behalf of the cause of God, I feel very happy and grateful to God for hiß dealings with us. The Lord has been with us through the past year; our prayer-meetings and class-meetings have been very encouraging, and blessed times for us. W e have always gone from these meetings happy and rejoicing in the Lord. Many of our members have a longing desire for a deeper work of grace in their hearts, that they may show forth the praises of Him who hath called them out of darkness into his marvelous light. Not only in Veile, but on all our appointments, we have large and attentive congregations. In Veile this is especially the case on Sunday evenings. I would not forget to mention our quarterly meetings ; they are especially days of feasting with us. As soon as the quarterly meeting is past the people begin to long for the next one to come. On these occasions people are streaming out, many coming several miles to hear the word. From the commencement we have on record 114 members; moved to America and other places, 13 ; withdrawn and expelled, 1870.] DENMARK. 1 0 8

W e have also 2 very flourishing Sunday-schools, 178 children, and 10 teachers. The childi’en love the Sunday-school, and many of them have got their parents out to our public meetings. One of our older scholars has lately joined our Society, and we hope that more will follow his example. Brother Christensen and myself are working early and late, but we are rejoicing to know that our labor is not in vain in the Lord. Pray for us, etc. Svendborg, Trolleborg, and Langelant».— Brother Niels son, Missionary. He writes under December 31, “ The Lord has graciously blessed us during the past year, souls have been con­ verted, and some others have been awakened and brought to see the necessity of giving their hearts to God. The Lord has done much to encourage us, which has also strengthened the brethren. On Langeland we have also found hearts and doors open, and . preached to large congregations, who are longing from time to time to hear the word again; but we have here also much oppo­ sition from the ministers of the State Church, who cannot endure this disturbance, as they call it, and they do all that they can to keep the people from coming out. Then there are the home mis­ sionaries, who unite with the State ministers in opposing us; yet God is with us, and is pleased to bless our labors. W e have many friends who are constant attendants; they have not yet joined our Church, but we have good hopes that some of them will soon unite with us. The spiritual condition of the Mission under my care is encour­ aging ; the members are endeavoring to walk the narrow way to God, and we have had many blessed times when we have met to­ gether in the house of God. On Christmas-day one of our good sisters, eighty-seven years old, died happy in her Saviour, and is now forever with the Lord. The book of record shows the members from the commence­ ment to be 81, of which 19 have joined during the past year; 22 have moved to America and other places ; withdrawn and ex­ pelled 9 ; and 4 have died; which leaves 46 members now in the Society and 29 children. W e have 1 local preacher, 1 exhorter, 1 class leader, and 8 regular appointments. W e have also 2 flourishing Sunday-schools with 85 children and 4 teachers. Pray for us that God may pour his blessing upon us and crown our en- endeavors with much sxiccesB, to the honor and glory of his holy name, etc. 104 MISSIONARY REPORT. [1870.

Copenhagen. Brother Sorensen, Missionary.— The report at our last Quarterly Conference, which was held a few days ago, is as follows: Members in Society since the commencement, 275 ; during the same time moved to America and other places, 75; withdrawn and expelled, 69; and 15 have died: a total of 159, which leaves members now in Society, 116. During the last year 28 persons have united with us, 6 have removed, 5 withdrawn, and 2 have died. Our meetings have been well attended, and besides those who in the past year have united with us, there are several others who have been converted to God among us, which shows that the grace of God has been working on the hearts of the people under the preaching of the word. The spiritual con­ dition of the Society is encouraging, and I believe that the most of our members are growing in grace and in knowledge. Our prayer-meetings have also been well attended, and the Lord has greatly blessed our souls. Several of our regular attendants are with us in heart and life, and will no doubt now unite with us in Church-fellowship. May the good Lord continue to bless us and crown our efforts with success! W e have a very good Sunday-school o£ 175 children,' with 22 in the Bible class, and 13 teachers. The average attendance during the last quarter has been 176. The children show much zeal and diligence, and it is truly encouraging and rejoicing to witness the readiness with which they answer the questions given to them. Some of our former children have now joined the Bible class, and two are very successful teachers in the infant classes. On our second Christmas- day our superintendent preached a very impressive sermon to the children, and we had a very large congregation on the oc­ casion. After the service we had our usual festival, in which about 250 children, teachers, and others participated. W e all rejoice to see the joy and the happiness of the dear children. May God bless our Sunday schools! Statistics.

The following report is from Brother L ong, Superintendent: The year which has just closed has been marked by several events of great importance to our mission. The sudden and lamented death of our beloved Bishop Kingsley just as he had en­ gaged his passage from Beyroot for Constantinople and was ex­ pecting in a few days to be with us, the removal of Brother Flocken from Tultcha to Rustchuk,and the interview of the Superintendent of the Mission with Bishop Simpson at the German Conference, may be mentioned especially as having a great in­ fluence upon our work. In accordance with the plan proposed the previous year, Brother Flocken removed with his family, in June, from Tultcha to Rust­ chuk, leaving the interesting and increasing work among the Russian Lipovans there to the care of a faithful and earnest Russian brother, Dimitry Petroif, to be superintended and directed by occasional visitation and general supervision from Rustchuk. That brother has not disappointed us, but appears to be doing well. The Society there numbers twenty members in full connec­ tion and three probationers, and it is hoped that other members of the Lipovan community, as well as from the other Russian communities, are coming under the power of God’s truth, and we are well convinced that an evangelical influence is being exerted from Tultcha which is being felt in remote portions of the vast Empire of Russia. The arrival of Brother Flocken at Rustchuk was the signal for renewed and determined opposition upon the part of the leading 1 0 6 MISSIONARY REPORT. [1870.

Bulgarians there, in concert with measures adopted also by the same party in Constantinople, and a systematic and well-drawn line of defense was adopted. The young men who had shown an interest in the truth and a seriousness in regard to their souls were called up, threatened, and admonished to keep away from the Protestant services. These rigorous measures have succeeded in keeping most of those interested in the truth away from our serv­ ices, and the effect would naturally be very disheartening did we not know that it is God’s truth which we preach, and that no devices of wicked men can finally triumph against it. Brother Flocken devotes much of his time to the instruction of two young Bulgarian brethren from Sistof, whom we trust God has called to engage in the great work of preaching Christ to their countrymen. They have made good progress during the time they have been under his charge, and our prayer is that they may be kept by the grace of God faithful under the many and peculiar trials and temptations to which they are exposed. Brother Wanless is continuing his work of preparation in the Bulgarian language, but is much impeded in his studies and work by the continued ill health of Sister W. The work in Sistof continues to present many features of in­ terest. While our brethren there have had also their share of trials, and some of them have been made the special objects of attack from the enemies of the truth, Brother Gabriel Elief reports to me his conviction that a decided advance has been gained. Upon a recent tour made by him to Tirnova and other places, he was every-where well received; and he reports with gratitude to God the increasing interest which he found in all the places visited, in many of which the Lord is raising up witnesses to the power of the Gospel. So soon as the long-expected re-enforcements from America arrive, if not sooner, it is contemplated for Brother Gabriel Elief to occupy some one of those points, leaving the work at Sistof under other hands. In regard to the work in the great capital, Constantinople, I wish that I were able to report better things. But when one looks at this vast population of a million of souls, and at the allurements and enticing vices of a city just breaking away from oriental barbarism and plunging headlong into European license and vice under the flattering name of civilization, and reflects that the greater part of the Bulgarian element of the population consist of young men from the country, and business men away from their families, and remembers how hard it is for our Pastors in cities like New York to keep track of such young men from 18*0.] BULGARIA. 107 the country who have even been favored with a religious training at home, and bring them under the restraining influence of pious associations, he will realize some of the peculiar difficulties with which I have to contend in Constantinople. My congregations, though never large, are varied in character, and sometimes when I least expect it I am gratified at meeting a number of intelligent and appreciative hearers, who, by their earnest attention, greatly rejoice my heart. Our little periodical, the Zornitza, (Day-Star,) continues to be received with favor and very widely read, and I have by this means an opportunity of preaching every month to about three thousand souls, for each issue is read by at least that number of persons. During the past year three books have been published against the Protestant Missionaries and their teachings. The most scurril­ ous and abusive of all has been published at Rustchuk by a monk, and is exceedingly violent in its language. These works are in­ tended to frighten the uneducated people, who may be religiously inclined, from having anything to do with us; while for the more enlightened persons who really are desirous of seeing their Church reformed, another line of tactics is employed. They are told that when the new and independent Church organization is effected all these reforms will be introduced, and the Church will be­ come thoroughly evangelical, only, for the sake of preserving their influence over the people, they must have no direct connection with the missionaries. This policy, from its plausibility, has done more harm than open opposition and persecution. Our hearts are very greatly rejoiced by the action of the Mis­ sionary Committee in providing for the sending out of two additional missionaries. Recording with unfeigned gratitude the goodness of God in the preservation of the life of each member of the mission, and in the sustaining power of his grace amid many conflicts and discourag­ ing circumstances, we commend for another year the Bulgarian Mission to the prayers and sympathies of the Church. 108 MISSIONARY REPORT.

DOMESTIC MISSIONS.

AMERICAN DOMESTIC MISSIONS.

Commenced in 1812.

It continues a matter of regret that, far lack of attention to the requirements of the General Conference, the Church must remain but impartially informed of this important department o f our work, upon which is expended the greater part of our missionary receipts.- The provision of the General Conference referred to is in the following words: “ 1. Each Superintendent of Missions, and, where there is no Superintendent, each Missionary, shall make a Quarterly Re­ port to the Corresponding Secretary at New York, giving information of the state and prospects of the several missions under his care. “ 2. Each Missionary shall report to his Superintendent once a quarter, in writing, the state and prospects of the special work in which he is engaged.” A list of th e A m erican D omestic M issions in the various Annual Conferences, with the missionary money appropriated to each mission, follows. I f any mission is omitted, it is be­ cause no report has been received.

“ T h e I n d i a n p o l ic y ” of the government has attracted much and deserved attention. Good fruit has already ap­ peared, and there is promise of much more. Our own Church has had a .voice in common with other Christian, communions in the selection of agents among these dependents of the nation, and we look forward to the results of the newty begun year with the liveliest concern and expectation of greater good than has for many years been known among the Indians. P in e E i y e e - I n d ia n M is s io n . This is in Michigan-Con­ ference, and has this good report: 198 members and 34 probationers. These are divided into four Societies; and Superintendent Camburn says, “ These Indians have made advancement in civilization, and are well spoken of by their white neighbors, are prospering, and amply repaying the Church and missionary authorities for the money and labor expended upon them.” 120 MISSIONARY REPORT.

WELSH MISSIONS. Commenced in 1828. Thé Welsh emigration to this country has never been a considerable element on account of its numbers, but for its moral character it has always been desirable. It has been readily incorporated into our political and religious life, and has contributed its full measure toward all that is of good report in our land. Our missions amon^ them have almost entirely ceased. Such numbers of these people are already to be found in the Churches that new-comers, whether electing association with Christian professors or not, are quickly found out and cared for. Statistics.

GERMAN DOMESTIC. Commenced in 1836. The total number of German emigrants landing at the single port of New York, commencing with 1847 and ending with December 31, 1869, was one million six hundred and sixty- fo u r thousand and nine / The lowest number of any one year was in 1861, when they fell off to 27,139. The greatest number was 176,986 in 1854. The report for 1870 not printed. Our missions among these people, now employing, as will be seen by the following table, 307 regular Pastors and 327 local preachers, seem destined to keep pace with the in­ flowing tide of population. W e have good reason to cherish these missions—for, conceived in the primitive spirit of Wes­ leyan Methodism, they have justified their lineage by the mon­ uments which they have erected along the path of their progress. Here you see them spreading in bands* increasing their preaching-places, churches, colleges, and orphanages; and there a theological school and printing-presses. Every inter­ est pertaining to the edification of the Church of Christ is taken in hand, and pushed forward by them. Last year an error of statement occurred about the de­ crease in the estimated value of their church property. This was founded in a typographical error, which will be detected by turning to the figures in the statistical table of these mis­ sions in the year 1868. (See report for that year.) They advanced in 1869. They have done still better in the year just closed. The whole Church will unite with them in as­ cribing u Glory to God in the highest! ” Statistics.

W e hail the coming of such a race with supreme satisfaction. Our figures do not reveal the fact that we have already a Tutor or Professor in our North-western University for the benefit of Scandinavian youth. Neither from them would we learn of the Biblical School founded, but feebly to be sure, by themselves in the West, (Galesburgh, Illinois,) and under the care of Rev. N. O. Westergren, one of our missionaries. The current history of this department of our work, as of every other field either at home or abroad, must be looked for in the “ Missionary Ad­ vocate.” Statistics. t s | § "to . £ 2« =* . '3.

CHINESE DOMESTIC. Commenced in 18G7. During some twenty-three yeaxs or more last past but four hundred and fourteen Chinese have come into the port of New York, and, being scattered in various obscure localities of the great metropolis, have received but comparatively, little notice except from our city missionaries and occasional visits from Rev. 124 MISSIONARY REPORT. [1870.

M. C. White, whose old love for these people impels to their abodes whether “ naked, sick, or in prison,” for in all these con­ ditions he has sought and found them in his visits to New York. California is the field of our actual Church mission-work to these people. In the city of San Francisco, according to latest statistics, there are between eleven and twelve thousand of them. For the purpose of effectually prosecuting our work ’ in that city an edifice is now completed of which we insert a cut, and also a description from Rev. O. Gibson, missionary. This building is intended to be a center and home for the mission. According to the rule for administering Domestic Missions, it will be under the care of the California Confer­ ence, within whose bounds it lies. The eyes of the different Churches in America are turned toward these strange people — still more strange in our land than in their own— and there is a strong spontaneous movement toward sending Christian mis-, sions to them. Our Church has made a well-directed beginning, as will be seen above. This new missionary movement ought to increase the missionary spirit of our Churches, and increase also the contributions to our missionary treasury. Brother Gibson's original plan was: 1. To organize every-where Sunday and evening schools for gratuitous instruction in the English language. 2. To open a central school in San Francisco, in which the Chinese can secure a complete English education under positive religious influence. 3. The engraving represents “ The Chinese Mission Insti­ tute,” for the use of our mission in San Francisco, on Washing- ton-street, between Stockton and Powell. The building is fifty-six feet front on Washington-street, seventy feet deep, and three stories high above the basement. The basement will be for rental purposes. On the main floor there are three school­ rooms, nineteen by thirty-five feet, with folding-doors between, so that when desirable they can all be thrown into one room for general school exercises or religious services. On the second floor there are two school-rooms, with folding- doors between, a long corridor, rooms for the family of the native assistant, and a library. The third floor .is designed for a female department. There are also a parsonage for the family of the superintendent, and

1870.] CHINESE DOMESTIC. 127 rooms for the assistant teachers. The lot is fifty-six by one hundred and thirty-seven and a half feet, and has a narrow street on either side, running through to Jackson-street. The location is favorable for the work designed. Our friends have noticed that one of our native preachers has been transferred from the Chinese work at Foochow to minister to his countrymen under the supervision of Brother Gibson. He arrived in San Francisco on the 16th day of January, 1871. On the 2d day of January, 1871, Brother Gibson opened a school in the new building, and wrote us under date of the 19th of the same month: Up to this time our numbers have been small, but a consider­ able interest is awakened in the public sentiment, and, after the Chinese New Year, we hope to have an increased number of scholars.

In his Annual Report Brother Gibson says: The various Sunday-schools for Chinese have been prosecuted with more or less vigor, and with encouraging results. Many of the scholars are now able to read portions of the Bible, hymns, etc. Some of them repeat in English the Lord’s Prayer, Ten Commandments, Apostles’ Creed, and portions of the Scriptures. This branch of labor suffers for want of regular, devoted teachers. Carrying out Bishop Kingsley’s plan, the native preacher, Hu Sing Mi, transferred to this work by Bishop Ames, has arrived, and entered upon his work. We hope that his wife may be of some service among the Chinese women of this country. [Brother Gibson makes a tender allusion to the removal of a lamb— “ Eddie” —from his flock by the Good Shepherd. W e sigh with him.] The report goes on to say: We hope to make the schools a great power, but these must be developed from small and slow beginnings. With regard to the school enterprise, Dr. H. M. Scudder, at the late session of the Presbyterian Synod in San Francisco, said: “ We Presbyterians ought at once to have a Chinese school or college in this city costing not less than $50,000. Tht Methodists, with Rev. O. Gibson as missionary and agent, have set us a good example, &nd I rejoice in their prosperity and in his success.” I ask the prayers of the Church for the special outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon this mission during the year. 128 MISSIONARY REPORT.

MISSIONS IN TERRITORIES.

MISSIONS IN TERRITORIES OF THE UNITED STATES, TO BE AD­ MINISTERED AS FOREIGN MISSIONS.

Utah. Rev. G. M. Pierce, our Superintendent, in his Annual Re­ port says: “ The mission work was formally opened by our arrival May 8, 1870.” O f the pastoral preaching and teaching force of his work he gives the following account: 1. Resident Ministerial Force.—Rev. GL M. Pierce, Superintendent of Mission and Pastor of Salt Lake City. Rev. N. Reasoner, Agent of the American Bible Society. Rev. W. C. Damon, Pastor of Corine and Principal of Corinne Semi­ nary. Rev. A. M. Donelly, Pastor at Ogden. Rev. E. Smith, Principal of Salt Lake City Seminary. Rev. C. C. Nichols, Salt Lake City. 2. Classes and Members.— Salt Lake City, formed May 20. (Corinne set off from Salt Lake City October 4. Ogden set off from Salt Lake City October 5.) Aggregate member­ ship, 40. 3. Sunday-schools and their Membership.— Salt Lake City, organized June 12, 140 members. Corinne, organized September 25, 60 members. Ogden, organized October 2, 60 members. 4. Appointments—Regular.— Salt Lake City twice every Sabbath. Corinne twice every Sabbath. Ogden once every Sabbath. Wasatch and Evanston once in every two weeks. Echo and Uintah occasionally. 5. S c h o o ls .—Salt Lake City Seminary, commenced Sep­ tember 12, 3 teachers, 90 1,Indents. Corinne Seminary, started October 10, 2 teachers, 60 students. 6. Church Property.— Corinne Church and furniture used for school, $5,500. Salt Lake City—The furniture for place of worship and for the Parsonage, $1,500. mo.j CHINESE DOMESTIC. 129 Brother Pierce gives the following prospective view : From Kansas to California no State or Territory for two thou­ sand miles has the population of TJtah, with its homogeneous population on the borders of Idaho, Wyoming, and Nevada embracing not less than one hundred thousand people. Its relig­ iously elastic state, and its changing civil state just now, will make the year to come the formative of “ New Utah” civilly and religiously. I believe in another year the whole of Utah, from Bear Lake Valley, one hundred and fifty miles north, to St. George, three hundred and fifty miles south, will be open to missionary labor. There are at least forty villages of respectable size in the Territory. The cries of Brother Pierce for men and means to occupy the open and yet opening field before him are as earnest as they might be expected to be from any pure-minded citizen and embassador of Jesus Christ. Sum m ary.— Appropriated for Missions in Utah for 1870, $2,000. Ministerial force, 6, of whom two are Principals of Seminaries. Church-members, 40. Sunday-school scholars and teachers, 260. Secular scholars, 150, with 5 teachers. Church property and furniture, $7,000.

Montana Territory. In 1864 Rev. A. M. Hough was appointed to the superin- ^ tendency of missions in this Territory. The first and only Church in the Territory was dedicated in Virginia City in November of the same year. The concluding paragraph of Brother Hough’s report well illustrates our beginnings in all the mining regions of our country : The charge in Virginia City is as prosperous as can be expected under the circumstances. The membership, which one year ago numbered one hundred, is now about twenty-five, dozens of other mining camps having been found as good as it, and so the people are scattered. Rev. S. G. Lathrop, our Superintendent, in his late annual report wrote us thus: Our field most certainly demands additional laborers. Lewis and Clark County, the one in which Helena is located, contains 9 130 MISSIONARY REPORT. [1870.

1,336 families and 4,236 -white inhabitants. An Episcopal min­ ister and myself are the only Protestant ministers in the county. S c h o o l . —It is a serious loss to our interests here that I was not able to continue the school established here last fall. There was an excellent opening for the establishment of a Seminary that would have been a credit to our Church, and a power for good not easily over-estimated. Abandoning it left our children and youth to the tender mercies of Jesuits and nuns. Madison and Beaver Head Counties—the former embracing Virginia City, the latter Bannock, and together comprising the field occupied by Brother Van Ande—contain 1,388 families with 3,062 white inhabitants. In this field there is one Episcopal min­ ister and Brother Van Anda, and one local preacher. Deer Lodge County, now occupied by Brother Comfort, con­ tains 1,752 families with 3,505 white inhabitants. Brother Comfort is the only Protestant minister in the county, and when he leaves the county will be destitute. Gallatin County has 383 families, with a white population of 1,562. At Bozeman, in that county, we have two local preachers who sustain Sabbath services at that place, and also a Sabbath-school. Three miles from Bozeman is Fort Ellis, where there are two to five companies of soldiers with no religious services of any kind. No other minister in the county. Jefferson County has 920 families, 1,306 white inhabitants. Meagher County has 680 families, 1,346 inhabitants. No minister. Missoula County has 721 families, 2,117 white population. No minister. Brother Comfort has spent one Sabbath in this county; found several Methodist families and an inviting field. The figures I send are from late census returns, and it is believed that these returns are rather below than above what the facts warrant. There are three other counties in the Territory whose population is small and scattered. To fully meet the demand of this field there should be seven men. Our membership is not large, and is very unsettled. Afew over fifty will comprise our present membership, but this is far below the Methodist population. Very many of our people come here intending to remain a few months only, and do not bring their certificates of membership with them. They are with us in our 1870.] CHINESE DOMESTIC. 131 congregations, and class and prayer-meetings, but do not appear on our records. Our Sunday-schools are prosperous. W e have now 11 schools with a membership of not less than 400. Our local preachers, three in number, are good men, and willing to labor so far as their circumstances will allow; but they all have families dependent upon them, and our fields are so re­ mote from each other that they are not able to perform much work without interfering with their business.

Sum m aries.—Missionaries in the field, 3, and 3 local preachers ; membership, 50 ; Sunday-schools, 11, with 400 scholars and teachers. Appropriated for Montana by the General Missionary Committee, $7,000. 132 MISSIONARY REPORT. [1870.

I f we look only “ at tlie things which are Been,” the year past has been one of disaster. But it is not with* spiritual as with earthly voyagers; the storms which arise wreck the one and hasten h om e the others. W e enter on our record the names of Rev. Bishop Edward Thomson, D.D., seventh Vice- President, and Rev. Calvin Kingsley, D.D., eighth Vice-President. The sighing of a bereaved Church is not yet hushed in the land, and we may not add to her grief by an increase of words. The labors of these leaders of our Missionary hosts form an imperishable chapter in the history of the Church. John Raynor, who departed this life February 15, 1871, became a member of • our Board of Managers in 1843, and so continued until' 1864, when he removed from the city of ISTew York to Poughkeepsie. A more faithful or interested member o f the Missionary Board, or one more thoroughly conversant with its history, we have not known. For at least ten years he was a member o f the Legacy Committee, and it is presumed there will' be found in his library as complete a set of our Annual Reports and of the “ Missionary Advocate ” as in any other private library in the country. After his removal from the city we were frequently favored with his pres­ ence in our office, and were cheered with the lively in­ terest he always evinced in the kingdom of our Lord and Saviour.

The Book Concern and the Missionary Society may re­ spectively occupy such other portions -of the Buildings in addi­ tion to, or instead of, those parts specified in the foregoing items, as may be mutually agreed upon from time to time by the parties. d. Such portions of the Buildings as may not be occupied by either the Book Concern or the Missionary Society shall be rented to other parties on the most favorable terms, as oppor­ tunity may offer. e. The annual rental value of such portions of the Buildings as may be occupied by the Book Concern, and of such portions as may be occupied by the Missionary Society, shall be deter­ mined from time to time by such method as shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties in interest; and to facilitate this purpose William W. Cornell, Enoch L. Eancher, and Isaac Odell, of this Committee, and Alfred C. Hoe, a builder, were appointed a Sub-Committee, to estimate the rental value of the portions o f the Buildings now occupied by the Book Concern and the Missionary Society respectively, and to report their estimates to this Committee for its action. f The Book Concern and the Missionary Society shall each account quarterly to a common fund for the quarterly rental value of such portions of the Buildings ks each may respectively occupy; and the income arising from rents received from other parties, and the rental value accounted for, as above, by the Book Concern and the Missionary Society, shall constitute a common fund belonging to these two Corporations, on account of the Methodist Publishing and Mission Buildings, from which common fund all legitimate charges against the said property shall be paid; and the remainder of said common fund, after the payment of said charges, shall be divided to the parties in interest in the proportion of their respective interests; that is to say, three fourths to the Book Concern, and one fou rth to the Missionary Society.

4. The Sub-Committee appointed to estimate the rental value of the portions of the buildings occupied by the Book Concern and the Missionary Society respectively, reported as follows, namely: “ The Sub-Committee appointed by the Joint Committee having charge of the Methodist Publishing and Mission Build­ ings, to estimate the annual rental value of the several por­ tions of the new Publishing and Mission Buildings occupied by the Book Concern and the- Missionary Society, respectfully report: “ That our late lamented associate, Brother William W. Cor­ nell, after the appointment of the Sub-Committee of which he was the Chairman, caused to be prepared accurate drawings, showing the precise dimensions of the several stories of the entire buildings, and of every division and room in the several stories. By the aid of these drawings, by personal inspection of the premises, and by the reliable judgment of the builder, our associate in the Sub-Committee, Mr. Alfred C. Hoe, we have arrived at the following estimate of the annual rental value of the said several portions of the Buildings, to wit:

“ F ir s t . “ Portions occupied by the Methodist Book Concern: “ 1. Wholesale Department in the basement and retail store on the street floor...... $10,000 00 ' t “ 2. Offices and appurtenances in the second story ...... 1,000 00 “ 3. Editors’ offices and library in the third story...... 4,000 00

“ Making a total rental value of the portions occupied by the Book Concern, of...... $21,000 00

“ S e c o n d . “ Portions occupied by the Missionary Society: “ 1. Offices and appurtenances: Board Room, Museum, etc., in the third story...... $6,650 00 “ 2. An additional room in the third story adjoining the Museum, and-a room for storage and packing in the basement...... 350 00

“ Making the total annual rental value of the portions occupied by the Missionary Society...... $1,000 00

“ The additional room in the third story it was agreed should be included in the portions assigned to the Missionary Society, and is a room suitable for a private office or committee room. u The Sub-Committee therefore report, that, according to their 160 METHODIST PUBLISHING- AND MISSION BUILDINGS. judgment, the annual value of said several portions of said buildings is in all t w e n t y -e ig h t t h o u s a n d d o l l a r s , as above particularly specified; and that the relative annual values of the respective portions occupied as aforesaid are three fourths of the whole for the parts occupied by the Book Concern, and one fourth of the whole for the parts occupied by the Missionary Society. “ All which is respectfully submitted.

“ E. L. F a n c h e r , “ I s a a c O d e l l , “ A. 0. H oe, a 8ub-Co7nmittee. “New York, April 2, 18V0.” f After careful consideration the foregoing report was unani­ mously adopted by the Joint Committee. 5. The annual income from rents received from parties other than the owners, according to the present rent-roll, amounts to sixty-nine thousand six hundred and eighty-three dollars and thirty-three cents / of which sum sixty-seven thousa/nd three hundred and fifty dollars are derived from leases running to May 1, 1874, and two thousand three hundred and thirty-three dollars cmd thirty-three cents from leases expiring May 1,1871. 6. There remains a large room on the second floor, Eleventh- street front, still-unrented, whose annual rental value the Com­ mittee estimates to be about four thousand dollars. 7. From the gross income from rents, as set forth in item 5 of this report, there is to be paid on account of current expenses as follows : (1) For taxes,' ten thousand and forty-three dollars a/nd forty-five cents / (2) For insurance, one thouscmd one hun­ dred and twenty-five dollars ; (3) For expenses of heating the entire building by steam, running the freight elevator, water- tax, etc., five thousa/nd dollars / in all, sixteen thousand one hundred and sixty-eight dollars and eighty-eight cents. . 8. Deducting the gross annual expenses as above from the gross annual income, there remains a net annual income of fifty-three thousa/nd five hundred and fourteen dollars and eighty-eight cents ; of which one fou rth part, or the sum of th ir­ teen thousand three hundred a/nd seventy-eight dollars and seventy-two cents belongs to the Missionary Society. 9. This statement of income makes no account of the rental METHODIST PUBLISHING AND MISSION BUILDINGS. 161

value of the portions of the Buildings occupied by the Book Concern and by the Missionary Society; that is to say, the said income is over and above the rental value o f the portions thus occupied.' A statement taking this into the account would give the following: (1) Rents from outside parties as above, sixty-nine thousand six hundred and eighty-three dollars and thirty-three cents; (2) Rental value of portions occupied by the Book Concern, twenty-one thousand dollars; (3) Rental value of portions occupied by the Missionary Society, seven thousand dollars ; making a total of ninety-seven thousand six hundred and eighty-three, dollars and thirty-three cents ; from which, deducting for current expenses sixteen thousand one hun­ dred and sixty-eight dollars cmd forty-jive cents, and there remains as net proceeds of rent the sum of eighty-one thousand five hundred amd fourteen dollars and eighty-eight cents / of which one fo u rth part, or twenty thousand three hundred amd seventy-eight dollars and seventy-two cents belong to the Mission­ ary Society; from which, deducting the annual rental value of the portions of the buildings occupied by the Society, and there remains, as a net annual income to the Society, thirteen thousand three hundred and seventy-eight dollars and seventy- two cents. 10. A statement which includes the estimated rental value of the large room on the second floor, now unrented, would show the annual rental value of the Buildings to be one hundred amd one thousand six hundred and eighty-three dollars and thirty- three cents, the net proceeds of which would be eighty-five thou­ sand five hundred and fourteen dollars cmd eighty-eight cents, one fou rth part of which, or twenty-one thousand three hundred and seventy-eight dollars and seventy-two cents, belong to the Missionary Society ; which, after deducting the rental value of the premises of the Society, gives, a net income to our Treasury of fourteen thousand three hundred and seventy-eight dollars cmd seventy-two cents. 11. In this statement no account has been taken, thus far, of the income to the Society of six humdreddollars a year from the rent of two rooms on the third floor, which rooms are included in the portions assigned to the Missionary Society. It is supposed' by your Committee that this six humdred dollars will be more than sufficient to meet the expenses of general 11 162 METHODIST PUBLISHING AND MISSION BUILDINGS. repairs on the property, in the proportion in which the Society must pay for such repairs. I f this sum were added, the Mis­ sionary Society would then have the portions of the Buildings which it now occupies rent free j and, after paying its due pro­ portion of the expenses of heating the entire Building, and its proportion of water rates, and its proportion of taxes and in­ surance, but paying nothing for general repairs, the Society would still have a net income arising from its investment in the Methodist Publishing and Mission Buildings of fou rteen thousand nine hundred and seventy-eight dollars and seventy- two cents. 12. A ll the foregoing statements are based on the income from rents at present rates, and on expenses as they have been the current year. 13. The funds available for the purchase, fitting up, and fur­ nishing the new Mission House were as follows: (1) Perma­ nent Fund, forty-two thousand nine hundred and sixty-one dollars and six cents. (2.) Reserved Fund, twenty thousand dollars. (3.) Premium on sale of stocks, eight thousand and thirty-three dollars and ninety-six cents. (4.) Balance of pro­ ceeds of sale of old Mission House in Mulberry-street, thirty thousand, eight hundred and seventy dollars and sixty-five cent». (5.)' Contributions of the Ladies’ Centenary Association, nine­ teen thousand one Ivumdred and seventy-three dollars amd seventy- two cents. (6.) General Centenary contributions, eighteen thou­ sand one hundred and twenty-eight dollars and fifty-one cents. (7.) Jubilee contributions, fourteen thousand' one hundred amd thirty-nine dollars and eighty-six cents. (8.) One fo u rth part of the income from rents from the time of purchase to No­ vember 30, 1870, twenty-one thousand one hundred and nine dollars and seventy-two cents ; in all, one hundred and seventy- four thousand four hundred and seventeen dollars and forty- eight cents. 14. These funds have been applied as follows: (1.) Paid on the property at the time of purchase, one hundred and .seventeen thousand two hundred amd eighty-six dollars. (2.) Paid on the principal of the bond to the Book Concern since the time of purchase, twenty-seven thousand eight hundred and seventy-two dollars amd sixty-eight cents. (3.) Paid interest on bond to the Book Concern to November 30,1870, eleven thou­ METHODIST PUBLISHING ÄND MISSION BUILDINGS. 163 sand nine hundred and thirty-eight dollars and thirty cents. (4.) Paid one fou rth part cost of general improvements on the property, three hundred and s&venty-three dollars and fifty-seven cents. (5.) Paid one fou rth part cost of insurance, five hundred and eighty-one dollars and seventy-four cents. (6.) Paid one fo u rth part of taxes on the property since its purchase, fo u r thousand one hundred and sixty-eight dollars and eleven cents. (7.) Paid for permanent improvements and fixtures in the Mis­ sion Rooms, seven thousand fou r hundred and fifty-two dollars and forty-nine cents. (8.) Paid for furniture, carpets, shades, blinds, awnings, etc., for Mission Rooms, three thousand'seven hundred and seventy-six dollars and ninety-two cents. (9.) Paid for internal revenue-stamps for deed, two hundred and twenty- five dollars. (10.) Paid for incidental expenses of the Jubilee, expenses of moving, etc., seven hundred and forty-two dollars and sixty-seven cents / giving a total outlay of one hundred and seventy-four thousand fou r hundred and seventeen dollars and forty-eight cents. 15. From the foregoing statement the Committee concludes that the sum actually invested in the Buildings and property by the Missionary Society may be stated thus: (1.) Amount paid for original purchase, as per agreement of the Board, two hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars. (2.) For one fo u rth part of cost of general improvements, three hundred and seventy-three dollars and fifty-seven cents. (3.) For per­ manent improvements and fixtures in the Mission Rooms, seven thousand four hundred and fifty-two dollars and forty- nine cents: in all, two hundred amd thirty-two thousand eight hundred and twenty-six dollars and six cents. 16. There is still due on the bond of the Society to the Book Concern on account of purchase the sum of seventy-nine thousand eight hundred and forty-one dollars and thirty-two pents; and there are assets in the hands of the Treasurer which, when converted into cash and applied to this purpose, will reduce the bond to about seventy-five thousand dollars. 17. It is the opinion of the Committee that it will be well for the Board to direct the Treasurer to apply the net income to the Missionary Society from rents, first to the payment of the interest, as it falls due, on the bond of the Society to the Book Concern ; and, second, the surplus of said income, after 164 METHODIST PUBLISHING AND MISSION BUILDINGS. paying the interest, to the reduction of the principal of said bond. By this course, under all ordinary circumstances, the whole indebtedness of the Society on account of the purchase o f this property may be paid within seven or eight years, with­ out having recourse to any other sources of revenue. 18. In the settlement of our affairs with the Agents of the Book Concern, your Committee ascertained the following facts in relation to payments made by them, and amounts still due on the original purchase; and as the Missionary Society holds its title from the Book Concern, it becomes matter of interest to know to what extent payments have been made by the Agents, and what incumbrances are yet on the property. The Agents paid at the time o f purchase two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. They have since paid the mortgage to parties of whom the purchase was made, of three hundred and twelve thou- sandfour hundred dollars, making an aggregate of payments up to this time of five hundred and sixteen thousand fou r him- dred dollars, leaving still due on account of purchase three hundred and thirty-seven thousand six hundred dollars. To secure the payment of the sum thus due, there are four several mortgages on the property which have been assumed by the Book Concern as follows: (1) One for one hundred and two thousand six hundred dollars due June 1, 1871 ; (2) One for seventy-five thousand dollars due June 1,1873; (3) One for sixty thousand dollars due December 1, 1873 ; (4) And one for one hundred thousand dollars due January 1, 1875. The Agents will be prepared, as your Committee was informed, to ¡pay off the greater portion, and perhaps all of this indebtedness in the early spring, in case the Missionary Society should make an arrangement to pay the balance still due on the bond, and also to pay back the money loaned by the Book Concern to .the Society on account of current expenses. All of which is respectfully submitted. [Signed,] E. L. F a n c h e r , I s a a c O d e l l , A. V. S t o u t , J. P. D u r b in , W . L . H a r r is , Committee.
