AMOY Educational Girls? School—Miss Duryee reports: Although we are over fifty years old we are still growing. The number of pupils has increased, the fees received have been more than ever before, the expenses have been greater. We are sure you will rejoice in our growth even if we cost you more. We were very happy to have Miss Beekman back in October. She received a most hearty welcome. The graduation exercises this year were held in the Chinese Church on Kolongsu. A class of three were graduated from the *

* On furlough, 1923-24. J London, Eng. t Retired Middle School and thirty-five from the Higher Primary. The audience filled the large church. A day or so before an exhibition of Physical Drill was held in the Drill Court of the school. I t went off very well and was greatly enjoyed by a large and appreciative audience of specially invited guests. Of the three High School graduates two are now teaching in our own school and one is studying in the Government Teachers’ College in Peking. One of the day pupils from a non-Christian home died at her home in Kolongsu. She was eleven years old. When we went to see the mother after her death she told us how “White Jade” always refused to have anything to do with idolatry and how she read the Bible at home. Hearing this made one rejoice to believe that the teaching she had received at school had not been in vain. We rejoice in the hope held out to us by the Woman’s Board of Foreign Missions that the Middle School Department may have a separate plant of its own in the not too distant future. When the appeal comes to you, dear readers, we trust it may meet with a generous response, for we sorely need better accommodation for the school. ' In conclusion we quote from some letters received from old school­ girls. The first is from a former graduate who is now teaching in a non-Christian school in a village on the far side of Amoy Island. She asked for some Sunday school Bible pictures, which were sent her. “I am very happy and very grateful because of your kindness to this school, in being so good as to send the pictures to us. I ask you to pray for this school. This village has never had a Christian in it. They all worship idols. The teachers in the Boys’ School also do not know the Lord; only I and “White Jade” (another girl teacher). The church is a long distance away. The pupils here are glad to hear about the Lord. Last term I told them the life of our Lord with his miracles. They wanted me to tell more but as I was very afraid the heads of the school would hinder I did not dare to take a special day to speak, but we prayed the Lord to open the way. This term we have courageously opened a Sunday school, where we can tell Bible stories on Sunday. Alas, there are very few scholars. I hope that when you are praying for us you will remember this school that it may be established and be useful.” The next letter is from a girl, an earnest Christian herself, whose relatives are not Christian though they do not oppose Christianity. “I do not know when God will open the hearts of my relatives. My heart is very troubled about them. Sometimes I lose courage and become cold-hearted myself but God loves me very much and calls me back again. He has never forsaken me but shows me what I should do. But I am very timid and sometimes do not dare to witness of the love of the Lord Jesus before my brothers. I hope you will always pray for me. Pray that the Lord will help me to be courageous that I may be a bright light to lead ray relations and others who do not know the Lord to Him. All my life long I very much want to work for the Lord. I hope God will use me to be His instrument.” The last letter is from a girl of fifteen now in school. She lives in a small city about two hours by boat from Amoy. At last China New Year vacation she borrowed some large Bible pictures to use in telling the life of Christ. “The six pictures that I borrowed from you have been of the greatest use to me in telling about the Lord. People wanted very much to hear and I trusted to the Lord for strength and courageously told them. Once when I went out to speak, about ten persons came to listen, men and women, old and young. Some persons wanted to keep me from preaching because on New Year’s Day a great many people came to our house and my heart was very earnest about speaking. When I heard the word of hindrance my heart was very troubled but I prayed the Lord to help me, and trusting in Him, in the end I preached. This truly was the love of God. I did not use everything. I told about the death of Jesus on the cross, His Resurrection and Ascension, and the healing of the paralytic man by Jesus. I hope you will earnestly pray to God for me that I may be very courageous and not ashamed, and that our God will help me to do much work to please the Lord.” Charlotte Duryee Bible School—WLiss K. M. Talmage reports: This year the school has had more pupils than ever before, over sixty in the spring term and seventy in the autumn term. More than one hundred have been in the school during the year. The daily morning prayers and Bible lessons have been used of the Spirit to lead many to Christ. We feel very thankful to God for His goodness. He is constantly showing His power in the changed lives of many of these women. Our oldest pupil is a woman of seventy. When asked to receive her we at first refused, fearing she was too old to study. She has proved a very happy, interested, grateful pupil. She has already read through the character hymn book though she only entered the school in October. One day, reading in the hymn book of the lost condition of the sinner, she said, “That is very true: X was lost and would not have been saved if I had not come to the school and learned of the Saviour.” Our youngest pupil is a girl of ten who came for the first time a year ago for only two months. She came with her mother and sister. They came from a town where there were no Christians and when they left we were afraid that the temptations to go back to idol worship would be too strong for them. What was our joy when they came back this autumn, all able to read their New Testaments, saying they had attended a chapel about a mile away from their home! The daughter of sixteen, named Jewel, seems like a little Christian. One day when reading with her class of the sufferings of Christ she burst into tears to the surprise of the class. The mother and little Bright Flower were sent for to return home six weeks before school closed. When learing, the woman asked for prayers for her husband that he too might become a Christian. We have had some women from richer families. Such usually do not wish to come to study, as they are used to luxury and find school discipline irksome. One of these, named Ice, fifty years of age, came with only enough money for one month, fearing she would not be able to stand the school discipline, for at home she was waited upon and did as she pleased. Her family and friends told her that she would be back in a short time. On the conti’ary she has become much interested in Christianity and can now read. The school had a holiday at Christmas, and Sister Ice went home. Her friends said, “We knew you would not stay till the end.” She answered, “I am only home for a few days; I am going back to stay till the school closes.” It is a great joy to us to have these women, though they cannot have the comforts of home, yet so interested in their study that they are happy to stay. Some of the pupils, too shy to express their feelings, write little notes. A girl of 17 writes: “I have received great kindness since t coming to study. You have taught me of the great love of the Lord Jesus. My father and mother do not believe in the Gospel, and I too did not know of Jesus till I came to the school. Please pray for my father and mother.” Another writes: “I am so thankful that I came to study; my lips cannot tell it, my pen cannot write it, I am so happy.” The third is from a woman we hope may become a Bible woman. Going home for the holidays about Christmas time, she wrote: “Do pray earnestly for me that I may lead others to God’s house that they may know the Lord and be saved. While I am home I am going to try and tell others of the great love of God in sending His Son into the world to save sinners.” This autumn a class was formed for the more advanced pupils to give special training for Christian work. Miss Ovenden of the London Mission was very anxious to teach.such a class, and has been a great help in the work. The class had ten pupils. We have no printed curriculum, but teach the women as much as we can in the time they are with us. They learn first to read and write. The books we teach are “A Condensed History of the Old and New Testaments,” “Pilgrim’s Progress,” “How to Spread the Word,” “The Threefold Secret of the Holy Spirit,” Meyer’s “Elijah,” Stalker’s “Trial and Death of our Lord,” “The Way of Salvation and Holiness,” also many portions of the Old and New Testaments. Some “ of the women also learn some of the Chinese character books and some Arithmetic. Children’s Home—Miss M. E. Talmage: During the year two mem­ bers have been added to the Home family. One is a little girl named “Heart’s-Love.” Her mother is a working woman, whose husband has forsaken wife and child and gone abroad. The mother has developed leprosy, and has asked the Home to take her four year old little girl. The other child is ten or twelve years old. When a baby she was adopted by a Christian woman who had no children. Later when her own children came she gave thist adopted child to an ■ elderly woman, a Christian, who loved the child and named her “Grandmother’s-Love.” When this woman died, the child became the property of the daughter-in-law, who has since gone back to heathenism, and she, to earn a little money, let the child out to work for heathen neighbors. When we received her she was working for a sorceress. Surrounded with all her idols and incantations the child would early learn to be an idolater. There was an opportunity to redeem her for $130 and so ah interested friend redeemed her and put her in the Home. Besides “Heart's-Love” and “Grandmother’s-Love,” the institution also added two “outside” children. The mother of these lately died. She had been a Christian for years. The preacher’s wife, a former pupil of our girls’ school, often visited the sick woman, who made her promise to see to it the children were not given or sold to heathen neighbors. The Home gives a certain amount each month to help them. Besides these two, the Home has continued to support the four other “outside” children reported last year. “Beautiful-Jade” left to marry a young school teacher, and has since been helping in his school. “Bestow,” “Precious-Ornament,” and “Precious-Pearl” also left to teach in different Mission schools. “Precious-Ornament” assists in a school taught by “Flower,” who was once a member of the Home and is now the mother of five children and also an active helpful preacher’s wife. “Flower” had been visiting in the Home during the summer holidays and telling her need of an assistant teacher; so “Precious-Ornament” was sent to help, rather unwillingly on her part. After she arrived she wrote: “We had heavy rains along the road, and we had constantly to take refuge in doonvays of. houses on the way. I prayed three times in my sedan chair that we might arrive in peace. God heard, the rain gradually stopped, the sun came out, and we had clear weather. They gave us a welcome when we arrived. I t is a very pretty country with trees, flowers, mountains and streams. There is a brook at the north, where we wash our clothes. There is a church here with a bell-tower, very pretty. Sister Flower’s children are very good. They are all very kind to me. When I got here I thanked God and prayed that He would help me in my work here, first to please Him, and also to please the people. I am sure you remember to pray for me that I may glorify God, which is my heart’s wish. “There is one thing I want to ask of you. The pupils here like to hear stories. They do not care to come to church, say they have no time. They do not know how to pray. I want you to pray for them, and wish you would send me some good stories to read to them. They are very friendly with me, come to ray room to talk, and I want much to use this time to help them. I shall be glad if you can send me any hook to help me. . . . I often think of little “Precious-Jade” (the little blind child in the Home, who used to be under her care). There is not a day when I forget to pray for her. Is she stronger? Are all the Home children well?” In that region there were disturbances from bandits and soldiers, who are mostly bandits, and houses were plundered and burned. “Precious-Ornament” wrote again: “The affairs here make the tears run and make one’s heart very sore. We are helpless but God is all powerful. Please pray very earnestly for this place. No one can send letters from here, but Mr. Seng is going, so I quickly write to send by him. We here are much afraid; each day is worse than the last. The soldiers go back and forth, and are very fierce, they seize women and girls, and many have run away. The soldiers kill people as they would kill animals. This morning they seized a woman pass­ ing this house, and they have burned over one hundred homes.” ‘ “Flower” also wrote: “Our disturbed district is meeting with great trouble. Two weeks ago the Northern and Southern soldiers fought here, and some of the village people joined the Northern side and defeated the South. Then rumors came that the Northern Gov­ ernor of Fukien had run away from Amoy and from the province, so the Northern soldiers here ran away too. The Southern soldiers then returned and burned and destroyed much property. Every one was in great danger and much afraid.!; Many ran here to our church for protection, asking Ngo Sian-si (The Preacher) to protect them. Ngo S. S. told them in this matter ino person could protect them, their only protector was God. ‘You must pray to Him, and ask Him to turn the hearts of these evil people.’ They were glad to hear his words, and entered the church to pray together, and then they con­ sidered what steps to take, and for a week Ngo S.S. was very busy indeed trying to comfort and direct the village people. We as a family prayed day and night, and God heard our prayers, and affairs have become more settled and the people are more quiet. This great unrest and danger we have gone through have opened opportunities for preaching the Gospel, and we are hoping many hearts will be awakened to believe in the Lord. When you pray I hope you will pray for our district. • ‘Precious-Ornament’ is well, and very happy with her pupils.” When you pray please remember the Home, both the children who belong to it now and the many who have gone out from it, that all may be made blessings in the world. We thank our Heavenly Father for all His wonderful goodness to us, and we thank all who have helped us through their prayers and gifts.

Educational SIO-KHE Girls> School—Miss Vander Linden reports: The Sio-khe school has passed through trouble and sorrow, but there are many things which fill our hearts with praise and gratitude. During the year sev­ eral girls were called home on account of illness and death in their families, which made it impossible for some of them to return to school. In the summer, only a few days after school had closed, one of our most promising pupils died suddenly from plague. She came from a non-Christian home several miles from here and had been in school only two years. Though quiet and modest, she was a bright child and deeply interested in her Bible lessons and wanted to be a Christian. We count it a privilege to have had her under Christian influence and instruction. The work of the second semester has been rather hindered by a succession of epidemics. We have had our full share of malaria, mumps, measles, itch, chicken-pox, ear-trouble, and pink-eye. Among the boarders there were no severe cases, but one of the little day pupils was very ill with typhoid meningitis and died three weeks ago. Her mother, a Christian, had had fond hopes that her little girl might become a Christian teacher, and the child, though only eight years old, showed aptitude in that work, for it was her habit every evening to teach her little brother to pray, trying to explain the difference between praying to God and bowing before the idols as he frequently saw his uncle do. Last June six more girls finished the first year of upper Primary work, and all but one are continuing their studies either in Chiang- chiu or in Amoy. It was a joy to welcome two of our own girls back as teachers this fall. They made good records in Amoy and were eager to begin service in their own school. One of these two and one of the older girls were recently received into the church. Mrs. Ang Chheng-gi, who is giving her fourth year of splendid service, introduced her little son at the beginning of the term. He is a splendid object lesson for the girls, for he is being trained along modern methods. Instead of bging in arms all day long, as are all Chinese babies, he sleeps comfortably in his little crib on the upper veranda, and sometimes after school he is on exhibition—a dear, sweet, clean, healthy, happy baby. Miss Bruce has been helping the assistant teachers with their Arithmetic classes, giving them better teaching methods. She has also had the supervision of the physical drill since September. The girls are divided into three classes for their calisthenics and taught by the Chinese teachers. A chart of pictures for hygiene and health talks was obtained last summer, and Mrs. Chu of the hospital staff is using them for the women as well as the girls. Mr. Li, the pastor of the chitrch, has given two mornings a week for chapel talks with the women and girls, and he is also giving the girls lessons in Chinese Composition. The Christmas entertainment given in the church was greatly enjoyed and appreciated by a large audience. The girls gave a can­ tata, “Love, the Conqueror,” after which the pastor took the occa­ sion to praise the work done in the school, adding that there were teachers and pupils quite capable of speaking in public, but because the customs in inland places had not “opened” (changed) as they had in Amoy, Shanghai and other sea ports, they did not appear in public as lecturers, but he hoped the time was not far distant when our fine-spirited, well-trained women would have the freedom of the platform! The record shows that more than one hundred girls were in school during the year. We again express our heartfelt thanks to the Woman’s Board and to all who support the school with their gifts of money and prayers. Women's School—Auntie Horn continues as teacher and matron of the Sio-khe Women’s School, but in September when school opened she was very ill in the hospital and one of the Bible Women filled her place as best she could during the weeks before she was able to return to work. The enrollment this year has been almost the same as last year, twenty-eight in the Spring, twenty-four during 16 Woman's Board of Foreign Missions.

the fall and winter term. Some of these could not stay until the end of the term, but all except one old woman learned to read the hymn book, the New Testament, and stories on the Life of Christ; and all heard the Way of Life explained and the Truth made plain, and all expressed their belief in Jesus as their Saviour and their desire and purpose to worship Him and witness for Him. Three women were received into the church. On one Sunday when two of them received baptism, their husbands were also admitted into the church. A special drive was made to get higher fees, but although some progress was made, we fear that next year there may be a falling off in the enrollment. Some of the women who come are poor, many of them widows who can earn only enough to buy bare necessities, or can raise barely enough rice and vegetables to feed themselves. The fees were raised from $5 to $6 a term, a tremendous amount for women who never see so much “hard cash” from one year to the next. Poor old Hong-ko had attended the Lam-sin church for years but had never been taught to read; neither did she know much about the Gospel. In September she came, happy that she could come to school, but alas, her son had given her only one dollar to pay the school, and then she learned that the fee was $6! A few days later her son came to Sio-khe, and she told him he must provide more money. He crossly gave her 15 lui, (coppers). This was soon spent for soap, hair-oil and medicine. One day she brought her dollar carefully wrapped in red paper, saying she could not pay more but that she would go back home as soon as she had finished the primer. She had no hii to buy more books, but if she could only finish the primer, she hoped she could somehow be able to teach herself while herding the water-buffalo and minding the grandchildren. Needless to say she was allowed to stay, and her gratitude for the help was pathetic. Iris and the woman who was formerly a sorceress are still in school, making good progress. One bright young woman is now in the training class for workers in the Amoy Woman’s School and we have four others who we hope may in time be trained for work. One of the new women, a sweet Christian and church member, has suffered very cruel treatment in her husband’s family. One day, after a severe beating and threats that they would kill her, she left the house and took refuge in the home of a friend. She was safely transferred to the church where she remained until the consistory had met to discuss her case. She was permitted to come to the Women’s School and she is so grateful for the opportunity to study the Bible that she says she can give thanks even for the cruel treat­ ment because of the great blessings that have come since. The forty women on the roll this year come from thirty-one dif­ ferent villages. There are still hundreds, yes, thousands of villages where the Light has not yet penetrated. Imagine if you can, what it means for these women to return to their homes, many of them the only ones who know anything about the-Light that came into this dark world nearly 2,000 years ago. How strong their light must be not to be extinguished by the forces that work to smother it! Every woman will have to be more than a candle—she will have to be a bright clean lamp, well filled with oil—the Holy Spirit. They are all so anxious to let their lights shine in their own villages, but they frequently speak of the fight it means, for they have so little help from others, except through prayer. They all promise to remember each other in prayer, and when any is passing through temptation or trouble she is reminded of the friends who are praying for her, and is thus greatly strengthened and encouraged to he and to do what she knows Jesus wants her to be and to do. Dear friends in America, you can help. Are you doing all that you can? Evangelistic The extensive work among the women and children of the district has been carried on chiefly by the two Bible Women, who have been most faithful in going out daily to proclaim the message in hundreds of homes. In September one of them was ill and unable to do any visiting work, but while in hospital she taught the patients in her ward. At this time the other Bible Woman was needed as teacher in the school because Auntie Horn was also ill. In April the Rev. T. S. Li was ordained pastor of the Sio-khe church. It was a happy occasion, for the church had not a pastor for nearly 18 years. Mrs. Li is a welcome addition to our staff of workers; taking a part in the children’s meetings as well as in visiting and in regular meetings for women. The Thursday prayer meeting for the Sio-khe women was reorganized this fall and, with Mrs. Li as the leader, it is becoming one of the powers in the church. It was a time of real rejoicing when recently thirteen new mem­ bers were received into the local church. Seven of these were women, two of whom are Khe-chiu women who received most of their instruc­ tion at the weekly meeting held in their village. The other women had all studied either in the girls’ or the women’s school. Plans to make trips to the out-stations throughout the district failed again and again, sometimes because of heavy rains, sometimes because of rumors of fighting and political trouble, at other times because of illness or the pressure of station work. In November the two Bible Women went together to Poa-a, where they spent two weeks visiting the homes of women connected with the church and preaching wherever there were women and children willing to hear. There are many eager to hear the Gospel story, and women who never leave their homes gladly welcome the messenger who will sit down to teach them hymns and tell them .about the “True Doctrine.” But it takes many visits and much patient teaching before they can understand and believe it. Old customs, superstition and heathenism are stronger than iron bars, but thanks be to God who giveth us the victory, He that is with us is greater than they who are against us, and He is able to save! , CHIANG-CHIU Educational Girls’ School—The work of the school has been carried on under difficulties the past year as it was necessary to vacate the school building while the work of enlargement was going on. The new kindergarten, which was just ready for occupancy, provided several classrooms and sleeping quarters for half the boarding pupils. The remainder of the boarders were housed in what was formerly the “Mission Book-room” house. In this house also were the kitchen and dining room; so the girls who lived in the kindergarten had to go back and forth for meals while those in the “Book-room” house had to go over to the kindergarten building for classes. The Chinese house loaned by the church for kindergarten purposes also had two class-rooms for the girls’ school as well as bedroom for teachers. While this arrangement has added to the work of supervision and in some respects been inconvenient, yet we were very thankful to be able so to arrange, for all three buildings have an entrance into the Mission house garden and the girls have been able to go from one building to another without leaving the compound. The work of enlarging the school was not begun until nearly June instead of in March as planned, but the builder promises that everything will be completed by the end of the Chinese year which occurs the middle of February; so we shall be able to move in and re-open after the Chinese New Year holidays in the enlarged and improved building. Our most grateful thanks arc given the Woman’s Board of Foreign Missions, through whose efforts we are to enjoy the larger school building. The number of pupils enrolled during the year was one hundred and sixty and, as usual, more than half have been day pupils, which has relieved the situation in regard to sleeping and eating room. Nearly all the boarders are from Christian homes, but of the day pupils nearly half come from non-Christian homes. Their parents, although having no interest in Christianity, are willing to pay the tuition fee we require rather than send the girls to free government schools, because they know the girls in the Mission school are under good influence and also receive much better instruction than is given in the free city schools. < Last June there was a small graduating class, but in June, 1923, we expect to graduate more than ten girls and at least four of these are planning to continue their studies in the Amoy Middle School. The Christian Endeavor Society has received a number of new members and we believe some of the girls are really trying to be active workers for Jesus Christ among their companions as well as in the Sunday school. At Christmas time about twenty of the girls had a little Christmas play called “Love, the Conqueror,” which was much enjoyed by all the school. As we were not able to invite any to come to the entertainment, owing to want of room, we hope to repeat it later on, inviting the church women and women who are new hearers to come. Our greatest desire in connection with the school is that every girl enrolled as pupil and every teacher may become a faithful fol­ lower of Jesus Christ, daily confessing Him by word and deed as her Lord and Master. Will not each one who reads this' help by earnest prayer to bring these girls to love and serve our Saviotirf Kindergarten—The new building, for which we have waited so long, is finally completed. The beginning of the spring term, 1923, will -find the kindergarten established in the large, sunny, pleasant rooms which will be so much enjoyed by both children and teachers. There is enough ground around the building to make a fine play­ ground for the children, which they have lacked before. Owing in part to the fact that three or four free kindergartens (so called) have been' opened in the neighborhood, the attendance has been somewhat smaller this past year but when we re-open after the Chinese New Year holidays, we expect a large number of new pupils. Several very small children, some not yet four years old, were entered on the kindergarten roll when we opened in October but they were too young to be happy and all with one or two excep­ tions dropped out to come again next year. Although the number of children has been smaller, they have been a very happy little company and have been regular in attendance both during the week and at the Sunday-school session. They know many children’s hymns and songs and sing them heartily if not always perfectly in tune, and greatly enjoy the musical drills, play-songs and various occu­ pations. Evangelistic , Bible Women—Miss Morrison reports: With the oversight of a girls’ boarding school and kindergarten, and other work, the single woman missionary in Chiang-chiu is not able to give much time to visiting among the families of the church and the new hearers, so we are thankful to have such a faithful and consecrated worker as the woman who has acted as city Bible Woman for ten years past. Although she has a family to care for, she is often out to begin her daily visiting and teaching before nine o’clock and not infrequently is away until nearly dark, taking her noon meal at some home where she has gone to teach. Her love for her Bible is proved by her con­ stant study of God’s Word and the “word in season” she is always ready and able to give. Many look to her as the one who has lovingly and patiently taught them to read God’s Word for themselves and encouraged them to put their trust in Him and bravely come out to church. The two other Bible Women have divided their time between city and village work, spending two or three weeks at a time at one of the two outstations of the Chiang-chiu church and visiting many vil­ lages within a few miles’ distance. One of these two women, who was a pupil in the girls’ school here years ago and later at the Sio-khe Women’s School, has spent several months at Thian-po, Soa- sia and Leng-soa, teaching and visiting the women, and in each place the pastor or preacher has expressed his appreciation of her work and asked that she might come again for a longer stay. Church Work—The church work has gone on as usual during the year. On Sunday, before the church service, a Sunday school is held, those who attend being gathered into the different classes, some study­ ing the regular Sunday school Scripture lesson, some learning to read the Romanized colloquial, still others reading hymns. Sometimes several heathen women come to “look-see” and these are grouped together to hear a simple Gospel message. There have been a few additions to church membership from among the women and girls the past year, three of our pupils being among those received, also one woman who was a pupil for one term nearly twenty years ago but who has never until now come out as a confessed Christian although coming sometimes to church. This church has a larger membership than many others and more educated persons than some churches have, but many seem satisfied with having their names on the church roll and do not realize their high calling in Christ Jesus and that they are saved to serve. We long to see them witnesses of the power of Jesus Christ living ,in them and working through them by His Holy Spirit. In closing this report we would, ask your prayers that this year may see a true revival among all the church members, that each one may become truly and fully consecrated. TONG-AN No Report. Educational NORTH RIVER Girls’ Schools—Miss Green reports: The girls' schools of the North River have been much neglected and without well-prepared teachers, so that the work which they were accustomed to do was not up to grade in quantity and of very poor quality. This unfortunate inefficiency wasted an immense amount of time, and even bright girls make a poor showing when compared with the students of the girls' schools of our other districts. It has been impossible because of the scarcity of good teachers to supply the urgent demands of the schools at Chiang-peng, Hoa- hong, and Eng-hok, and they have perforce gone along in their ordi­ nary slipshod fashion. During the summer at Eng-hok Miss Green spent considerable time in coaching the school girls, who were very grateful for the help. The Leng-na school has done a splendid bit of work this year. The ruling spirit in our teaching staff is Mrs. Naw-chick Tan, the wife of the hospital assistant. We owe an inestimable debt to her for her efficiency and devotion, and believe our success in establishing an up-to-date school is due largely to her. The school is housed in a rented ancestral hall, which for the first half year was used in conjunction with the hospital. When the autumn term opened, however, we found ourselves able to spread out, and now our quarters, although inconvenient in some ways, are still ample for our needs. One wonders what the spirits whose ancestral shrine occupies one side of our “chapel,” would say to the preaching which is daily “heard” by their tablets. We were happy this year in gathering from the highest classes of the Chiang-peng and Eng-hok schools girls who were eager to study further. We have had five girls who had studied at Chiang- peng and six girls from Eng-hok, four for the whole year but the rest for only the latter term. The enrollment for the school has been between fifty and sixty each term. One of the Eng-hok girls, who has studied a little while in the Amoy girls' school, is here for special tutoring this term and is to take charge of the Eng-hok school at the opening of the new year. Most of these girls in the highest class are very bright and are working tremendously hard, and their development has been surpris­ ing. Several of them are hoping to study further in Amoy and later to become teachers of our Higher Primary here at Leng-na. Others will have only the opportunity offered by our Leng-na school. Both terms this year we have had with us two women studying to become Bible Women. One of the women already doing the Lord’s work joined them in study and the three have been very happy in their re-vision of their Lord and the methods of working for Him. During the spring term we were seriously handicapped by a lack of teachers for the school, so that a number of the older girls assisted in teaching some of the beginners, but for the second term we have been well supplied. We have secured the services of a man highly versed in the Chinese Classics and in the intricate laws of Chinese composition. Although we cannot criticize his learning we wish, sometimes, that he were more eager for the rapid advancement of the pupils. Two young women, formerly pupils in Tong-an and later graduates from the Higher Primary in Amoy, have also been teaching here and have shown a fine spirit and example to the girls of the highest class, many of whom are fully as old as they. Thus we look back over a year of advance and blessing and give thanks and take courage. • ' M arie L ouise E dwards, Secretary for China.

The year 1922 will go down in the history of the Arcot Mission as the one when a great forward step was taken—hesitatingly perhaps —but taken in prayer and with faith in God and in the Indian Church. For the first time in its seventy years of existence affairs of the Mission were discussed and planned in Conference of Missionaries and Indians together. Members of the Indian Church, both men and women, formed, with the missionaries, the Arcot Assembly, and sent *

* On furlough, in India, 1923-24. home to the Boards in America the request that hereafter all legis­ lation and execution of work be carried on in this joint assembly. This step shows the great advance the Indian Church has made, and when we find among the names of delegates to this gathering in January 1923 those of many women, married, and unmarried, our Woman’s Board must look on in deep thankfulness and rejoice that Indian women are coming forward as workers in His Church. Mrs. John Scudder, Dr. Hart, Miss Charlotte Wyckoff, as well as Dr. Ida Scudder and Miss Gertrude Dodd of the Medical School, have been on furlough this year and have been of great service in our Churches at home. Mrs. L. R. Scudder has returned to India and as this is being written Mrs. W. T. Scudder, M.D., with little Frances, is nearing India’s shores.

VELLORE

Evangelistic Miss Hancock reports: The Evangelistic Work for and among the Hindu women of Vellore is done in the homes, in the hospital, in the two dispensaries and in the surrounding villages. This work is carried on by eleven Bible Women. Besides this there is the work for the women prisoners in the Central Jail, of which Mrs. Cornelius writes, and that of the Women’s Social Service Society, in which some of our Christian women of the church, also, do voluntary work. Though again I can report no gain in regular pupils, the society is becoming more and more a centre of attraction and interest and, we trust, of Christian influence to the Hindu women, as well as a meeting place for the Christian women, a place where we can all get together and plan for the best good of the society. All our lec­ tures and meetings are well attended. It is a real joy and pleasure that our Hindu sisters are so friendly, so responsive to all our advances. May the spirit of Christ Himself direct and lead us in all our “goings in and out” among them. Zenana Work—Mrs. Peter writes: “There are eleven Bible Women working in as many different parts of the town of Vellore, each having an average of 40 houses, making a total of 440 homes in which they visit. Their reports tell of many instances of quiet, faith­ ful work and of giving help and comfort in many ways in the Hindu home. “One tells of a woman who fully believes in prayer. When she was very ill she called upon Jesus Christ for help. ‘What!’ said the women around her in surprise, ‘she does not call on our gods, but calls on the god of the Christians for help!’ When she got well she promised on her return to her husband’s house to pay her offer­ ing to the Church of Christ.” Bible Women—The Bible Women pursue a course of study on Christ’s life, and a monthly model lesson is given before it is taught in the homes. At our meeting, such questions as are connected with their work are discussed, and suggestions are given as to how the Hindu women should be approached. This has been found to be of great value, and its result has been seen in the homes. Women’s Social Service Society—The year began with a social entertainment for the Hindu women at the Mission compound, where our Superintendent, Miss Hancock, lives. It was a day long to be remembered when these inmates of zenana had this rare chance to get a motor car ride. For as the Mission compound is a long distance from the town the ambulance car of the Medical School brought most of the women, and some came in their own carriage, jutka or bullock bandy. Miss Hancock pleased the women very much by wearing the Indian dress, and as soon as she appeared in their midst they began to take off their own jewels and bangles and adorned her with them. The gramaphone greeted them with its English and Tamil tunes; they played several games, and for a time forgot all cares and worries and were jolly and happy. Refreshments of coffee and Indian cakes were offered from a Brahmin hotel, and a widowed Brahmin girl, a student of the Society, helped to serve the guests. It was a very happy time and all hoped they could come again. Central Jail—Mrs. Cornelius writes: “This jail is at Thorapadi, three miles away from our Vellore town. It has a very big com­ pound. The front part is occupied by the officers and other workers at that place. There are 1,767 men and 127 women at present in the prison. “To work among these women prisoners, the Lord has chosen both Miss Hancock and myself. We visit them once a week and give them spiritual lectures both from Old and New Testament stories. “We pray that the Lord will bless our work among these women and bring them within His fold some day, and we thank Him for giving us health and strength and specially His holy spirit to do this blessed work. We want you all to pray for our work.” Medical Miss Houghton reports of Schell Hospital: I f it is true that variety is the spice of life, surely Schell Hospital has been well spiced this year. We have had six changes in the staff of Doctors, three nursing superintendents, additions and alterations to the Hos­ pital building to provide more accommodation in the shape of a maternity ward and private rooms, and two new dispensaries estab­ lished—one in the town and the other twelve miles distant. Schell Hospital, the Children’s Home, Gudiyattam and Pallikonda weekly dispensaries, the town dispensary—thus is the medical work extending. In the Medical Work three needs are revealed: (1) the need for more village work; (2) the need for a leper asylum; (3) the need for a school for the blind in Vellore district. Schell 'Hospital Nurses? Training School—Our Nursing Depart­ ment is as much as ever a vital part of our hospital. Not only do we train the girls to enable them to earn a living but above all to help their poor suffering sisters. In return for the valuable training they receive here they give us their service, and the care of the patients and the general work of the hospital is being carried on to a large extent by them. Only the other day a high tribute was paid to two of the nurses who had been out nursing a little boy ill with pneumonia in the home of one of the lawyers here in the town. The doctor' had advised that the little chap needed skillful nursing and suggested that two nurses, one for day and one for night, might be had from the hospital. This he readily agreed to and the other day when the little lad did not need their service any more the father did not hesitate to say “if it had not been for the good care of your nurses my boy would not have gotten well.” Hospital Babies’ Home—The Children's Home is growing and will soon be too large for the present restricted quarters—a couple of out­ buildings back of the bungalow once used for medical students. We received into the home this year several children, one of whom came from the Vellore jail. I received a letter from the Superintendent of the jail, asking me if we could take into the home a four months' old baby whose mother had died in the jail. I went myself to get it, taking with me one of the little flannel frocks and flannel baby blankets such as come to us from our friends at home, as it was a cool morning. On reaching the jail we were taken into the women's department and found the wee mite in the arms of a wicked looking woman who refused to give it up. The matron said the child had been abandoned by his father and neglected by everybody until they heard some one was coming from the Mission Home to take it, when this woman developed a sudden fondness for it. She was not a relative and as this was the twelfth time she was serving a sentence, I felt we should be better guardians of the babe than she would. A daily visit to the home keeps me in touch with their welfare. The matron is one of our own nurses and a mother herself; so she knows how to look after them and she does it—looks after their spiritual as well as their bodily welfare. They are well-behaved children, naughty at times—our greatest care and far more our greatest joy. CHITTOOR Evangelistic Miss Conklin reports: A great many features mark this year as very different from other years—differences that reveal growth and development rather than mechanical alterations. The faithful, effec­ tive and quiet work of many years is expressing itself now in greater response among the Hindus and more enthusiastic responsibility among the Christian community. The frank friendliness we con­ stantly meet among the Hindu leaders here is but the outgrowth of many earnest conversations which Mr. Beattie and other former Chittoor missionaries had with officials, which Mr. Beattie used whimsically to call his “Zenana Work.” Not only by the attendance at our meetings, but by frequent visits to our compound have we felt the ever-growing friendship with the Hindu ladies. Old friends bring new ones and ask if they may show “our bungalow and our school” to the newcomers. This increas­ ing friendliness is the natural outgrowth of the enthusiastic and enterprising Home Education carried on by our Zenana Teachers. This year, instead of teaching the same Bible Story in all the homes, we have been trying a series of lessons especially adapted to the respective length of time each student has been studying. For the beginners, from fifteen to fifty, we adapt the story of Christ’s life, including three miracles and three parables, especially stressing our common search for God; following this, Christ’s life is again taught, with three more miracles and three more parables, emphasizing God’s search for us; to those who have studied two years, still the life of Christ, with three more miracles and three more parables and in addition three of Christ’s conversations with those who sought Him or whom He sought, centralizing the thought on the personal response to Him; and for those of the longest acquaintance with us, Christ’s life, with, besides the additional miracles, parables and conversations, three of Christ’s prayers, all suggesting our responsibility for others. We find much longer passages eagerly memorized, and much more intelligent and earnest response to His appeal. Because of the abundant rains this year, on every side the land­ scape is glistening with the glaze of water standing in the newly ploughed rice-fields, or with the gleam of tiny green rice-shoots all auguring a bumper crop. So, pray that this may be a symbol of His Harvest here, and if we as His reservoirs or rivers have served Him, it is because, “somewhere in the mountains, it’s been raining at the fountains.” And whether the mountains be near or far, prayer there has been the secret of the blessing released. And to you Over There may we voice our appreciation, in a slightly altered quotation: “You do come over, for your hearts are here, and thus more than you know, your works appear.” For where your treasure is there will your hearts be, also, and, by the same authority, where your hearts are, there will also your treasure be. Educational Though we closed both our free elementary schools in the town, the response-friendly from the Hindus to our educational overtures has been very gratifying. To meet the apparent need for a “Sixth Grade,” or First Form for Hindu girls, we re-opened Gridley School as such and asked fees. Much to our surprise, since there are other elementary schools for girls very near our school, we were asked again and again to open the lower classes to fee-paying girls. From eight First Form girls at the beginning we have grown to a school of over fifty girls, and all even more enthusiastic than those of last year when it was a free school! We are hoping this school will not only prove a feeder to our Girls’ High School which is, we hope, soon to move over here, but will also provide more “Hearth-Fire” training for the older girls who so soon will be at the head of homes of their own. . The Story of the Year—India

PALMANER Evangelistic Miss J. C. Scudder reports: An uneventful year, and as one looks back on it there seems nothing of importance or worthy of note to record. And yet there is growth, slowly to be sure, but surely growth. It is just tending the sick, helping the poor, en­ couraging the discouraged, teaching the ignorant and careless, trying to arouse interest in those who are satisfied with their aimless, selfish lives. Industrial The Parry property was recently purchased by the Mission for the occupancy of the Women’s Industrial Home and we have great need to rejoice and be thankful over this. The property is a fine site where there is ample room to develop all the various lines of industry that have long been in contemplation but were never brought into existence for want of space. Here there will be room for agriculture and poultry raising. Educational The Palmaner Hindu Girls’ School has increased in strength and has much improved under the energetic activities of the Head Mistress, Mrs. Jones. The Inspectress spoke well of it. The Elementary School has also gained largely and the two teachers do well. Our eyes almost fail for watching for the day when all shall know the Lord, but though our women are dull and ignorant they do possess some zeal in prayer and in working for the Kingdom.

PUNGANUR No Report. MADANAPALLE Medical Miss Josephine TeWinkel reports of Mary Lott Lyles Hospital: If 1921 was a short year 1922 has been still shorter. It was necessary for me to leave early in the year (February) to conduct nurses' examinations in some of our Telugu hospitals. Directly after this I went on to Kodaikanal, remaining there during March and April. When I returned early in May the other missionaries had flown to cooler climes. Dr. Hart had started on her furlough, and it was none too early for her. The first of June our new apothecary, Miss Stevens, from the Medical School at Vellore, arrived to take up work and she is gradually becoming more and more a part of our institution. Dr. Chorley, who has been with us for the past three years, still con­ tinues her visits (fortnightly) to the Criminal Settlement at Bhumina- godda, while she has also opened a dispensary every Friday afternoon at the “Baby Welcome” in the town. Since the Indian .doctor in 28 Woman's Board of Foreign Missions charge of the Punganur dispensary left in August this institution has also fallen to the supervision of Mary Lott Lyles Hospital staff. In response to Miss Coburn’s earnest solicitations the two doctors and I have again been giving brief weekly talks to the boarding- school girls during the year. Occasionally we have demonstrations at hospital for them on the care of patients, children, etc. • Our Madanapalle “Baby Welcome,” a Government institution, is in charge of two of our trained nurses, although one of them is but partially trained owing to the fact that she was married before she finished. Here mothers may go to consult the nurses for minor ailments for themselves and their children. Simple treatments are given there by the nurse in charge and for more serious matters they are recommended to the hospital. Recently a “creche” has been started in connection with this institution, and here little children of working mothers are cared for during the day. They are bathed upon arrival and put into clean clothing for the day, while their own dirty garments are washed and dried and put on them again when they leave at night. They are provided with a bowl of ragi gruel and milk for their noon meal. It is hard to get the people to understand at first that these institutions are for their benefit. They are always a little suspicious of such efforts for their good. During the year it has again been frequently necessary for our nurses to come to the aid of the Tuberculosis Sanitarium. Their large work continues to grow and they feel more than ever their lack of suitable nurses. We have had one or two nurses there almost con­ stantly for a few months at a time and they have begun to consider it a part of their training. Without at least some mention of the hospital orphans this report would not be complete. Their number has varied during the year. The little ones have suffered the usual ups and downs of childhood during the year. There have been times of illness and times of health. Early in the year “the little sand-burr” as my sister dubbed her, because her mother buried her in the sand to die, came to us. She was originally born here and her mother, a beggar woman, wanted us to take her from the beginning, but we felt that for many reasons it was the duty of the mother to keep her and to care for her own child. She was a half-witted woman, however, and neglected the poor little mite woefully. When she finally buried her alive with her head above ground, another woman unearthed her and brought her to us, and then we could not refuse to give her a chance. Today she is a darling, curly-headed baby, the hospital joy. She seems bright and intelligent and Dr. Chorley declares that she is going to be “a clever child.” In little Kamala’s case, also, I trust that as the years roll on we shall only marvel the more at “what God hath wrought.” , Our hearts are filled with gratitude and praise for all His good­ ness to us. That our eyes may be open to the needs of those about us so that we may so minister unto them that they may learn to know the true source of all joy and blessing is our prayer. Evangelistic Miss Sarella TeWinkel reports: “We have not wings, we cannot soar, But we have feet to scale and climb, By slow degrees, by more and more, The cloudy summits of our time.” It is November; so we have almost reached the “cloudy summits” of 1922. Before the final scramble we sit down to get our breath and look back along the path we have traveled. There have been dark valleys of depression and other times when we have been almost overwhelmed by the deadly miasma of sin and impurity all around us. Sometimes the path has been hard to find or rough and thorny; but on the whole it has been a pleasant journey. On all sides of the road we have traveled there are villages so well camouflaged with their mud walls and thatched roofs that one not familiar with an Indian landscape would miss seeing them. Five such villages near Madanapalle have had weekly visits from the Madanapalle Bible Women. Others more distant we have visited less often. To visit such villages we have taken two tours, the first lasting ten days. The second was taken during monsoon weather and the rains turned us back after we had been out only three days. On another occasion two of the Bible Women went with me to the town of Filer, where we camped for three days in the Traveler's Bungalow, doing Evangelistic work in Filer and in villages round about. Each day had its share of unique experiences and there are signs that God was pleased to use us there for a special work of grace. An important part of our Evangelistic work is the selling of Scripture portions. To be sure, not many in the villages can read but we have sold a number of these little books even to illiterate listeners. And so all along the way we have tried to scatter the good seed. We have found the soil the same as always, here the highway, there the rock, yonder the thorns, and some that has seemed good. Educational Miss Coburn reports of the Girls’ Secondary School: Teachers, 10; Boarders, 85; Non-Christian Day Scholars, 32; Christian Day Scholars, 25; Total, 142. For a woman to be wise and at the same time womanly is to wield a tremendous influence which may be felt for good in the lives of generations to come. Is our Madanapalle School trying to train our girls to be wise and womanly? Yes, at least we try to employ such a staff as will draw the best to the surface and to so regulate the teaching and the Hostel life as to call forth courage, initiative and love. Our ambi­ tions have not been yet attained. We have only gone up one or two rounds of the ladder. We have had less sickness this year at this particular time than in any previous year. Perhaps the Blanket Fund has helped us through 30 Woman’s Board of Foreign Missions this dangerous season. I was able to supply each orphan and every child whose parents were too poor to purchase a blanket with one of! the country blankets. Seventy blankets were given and we were able to do this only by carefully washing, darning and packing away the blankets purchased last year and by buying a few more this year. One is hardly enough for the cool rainy nights, but it is better than none or one for two. Next year if we are vigilant we may be able to purchase more. The girls have been doing all their own cooking for the last two months and great improvement has been made in the cleanliness of preparing the food. They, too, with the help of the teachers, have been governing themselves. Now just a word about the day scholars. We have more Hindi? girls than ever before. To be sure some have been married; some dropped out because the parents would not pay fees and others because they realized they had not the gift for study. Many of the girls who formerly went to our Hindu Girls7 School came to our secondary school. For this we are thankful, for now they still come in contact with Christian taching. We pray that these girls will be forces for good through living clean earnest lives for Jesus and that they will wield a tremendous influence which may be felt for good in the lives of generations to come. . RANIPETTAI Educational Mrs. Van Vranken reports of the Arcot, -Walajah and Kaveripak Hindu Girls7 Schools: Mrs. Honegger handed over to me the charge of these three schools the first .part of the year. • I have tried to create even more enthusiasm among the teachers by reviving a Teachers7 Association, which is held monthly at the bungalow. We have drawn up a program for all of next year. At each meeting a model lesson will be given. Eiich teacher is to bring prepared notes on the lesson and may lie called on to teach it. The greatest discouragement and complaint is that the girls do not come to school regularly. Festivals and Hindu ceremonies take first place and attending school second. Hindu parents do not care if their daughters are not educated; so why send them? In this land it is the teacher’s business to go to the homes and advertise the good points of the school to the parents and thus induce them to send their children. Every day they must be gathered and brought in. According to Christian custom Sunday school classes are held every Sabbath. The picture cards are a big help in bringing the girls every Sunday. Collections are taken with which we buy clothes for some poor women at Christmas. Thus we instill into these little hearts Christian principles and higher ideals. , Ranipet G iry High School is with every succeeding year settling down to a firmer grip of its problems and increasing stability of work. The return of the Principal, Miss Alice Wan Doren, was the most joyous event of the new year. For three months the three Americans in charge—Miss Van Doren, Miss Wyckoff and Miss Ruth Scudder—worked together until at the close of the school year, Miss Wyckoff departed on furlough, leaving the other two to shoulder her work in addition to their own. The Indian staff this year has been better qualified than ever before. One of the new teachers is Miss Grace Savarirayan, who is the first Arcot Mission girl to receive her B. A. degree. In the public examinations one girl qualified for college and four others entered Normal Schools. One of our previous graduates, after teaching for a time, entered the Vellore Medical College where she stands at the head of her class. Our High School classes are still very small because we make a very careful selection after Eighth Grade and permit only the best qualified to continue. There has been a sweet Christian spirit of service and co­ operation in the school this year. We pray that every girl may go forth finally as a “living epistle” of Christ to her appointed corner of India. Evangelistic Zenana Work—Mrs. Honegger reports: Weeks and.months pass with little apparent change, but there is the wearing away, the breaking down of the old and the building up of the new within the Zenana walls. Repeatedly throughout the year two hundred and sixty women and girls have been offered the water of eternal life, but marked changes come very slowly. • There are many secret followers of our dear Lord, waiting and longing for the day when they may openly confess Him whom they love. Regularly the preaching bands go out carrying the message of salvation to the villages round about. We are constantly meeting with those who are seeking the way of truth. Industrial'Home for Women—Miss Maude Scudder reports: As the Lace Class is more than a Lace Class these days, we have changed its name to the Industrial Home for Women, and when we move into our new abode in Palmaner we fully expect to live up to our name. It is with great satisfaction that we look forward to starting the new year in a place really our own, removed from the proximity of the Boarding School, and big enough for us to carry out our ideas and our ideals and in every way to give to our village girls the training which will make them better wives and mothers. Our work continues much the same as in the past: sewing classes, gardening, Bible classes, and “reading, writing and ’rithmetic” classes. We have had to turn girls away, but those days will soon be past. The future holds much in store for us. May we be true to our ideals and may the Industrial Home for Women be of real worth and value to our Mission girls. Social Center—Mrs. Honegger gives us a peep in at the Ranipet Social Center through an Indian woman’s eyes: “I was returning home from a street Drama in which I had sat from 9 :30 P. M. until 5 :45 A. M.,” writes an Indian friend, “when I noticed the busy folk at the Centre were up; so I availed myself of the opportunity to get some cough-mixture, as they administer very simple remedies to the afflicted. “There I found a number of others waiting with various requests. There were big people, little people and wee little people coming to the Mother for help. “These numerous wants were scarcely met before the school children began to arrive from caste homes of the town. About one hundred and twenty joined in the opening exercises. Songs, Bible verses and stories formed an important part of these. In the Reading Room just without the Compound wall the fond parent may be seen reading and also listening as he catches the voice of his little'daughter in' some sweet melody. “The 8:30 o’clock bells bid the inmates of the Centre to be out upon their respective duties. The Home Department worker seeks out the maidens who wish instruction in the home, while another seeks out the sick and suffering and strives to minister to their needsj while still another reminds the men in the bazaar that there are some new and interesting books and magazines to be found in the reading room, or urges upon the business men to be more upright in their dealings with men. . “The recreation hour also has its place in the life of the Centre. The children have their organized play and story hour once a week, while their seniors enjoy badminton on the newly made court. * “The evenings bring the husbands and fathers to either a fort­ nightly lecture in the open air lecture hall or to the Reading Room to read the daily paper or to enjoy the deeper books and periodicals from America, England and India. “Sunday brings another form of instruction. In the evening the Bible is taught for an hour in the Reading Room while in the social hall we find a magic lantern lecture or a children’s service or some form of a religious service for the Hindu women and children.”

TINDIVANAM Evangelistic The Zenana work has been carired on by our two Bible Women most faithfully during the past year. Instruction is given in seventy homes among nine different castes. Medical . Miss Noordyk reports of the Tindivanam Dispensary: During the continued absence of Mrs. W. T. Scudder the dispensary has again been carried on by Danibagijam, Nurse and trained Midwife. Many, many times she has been called upon to’ treat cases which were beyond her skill and experience, and how gladly we shall welcome back Mrs. Scudder it is needless to say. Part of the nurse’s time was given to treating simple cases in the dispensary and part of her time she devoted to visiting in the homes of those whom she had treated and acquainting the women with the Great Physician. Her untiring efforts have given her the confidence and friendship of many people and their .homes are always open to us. I had a most touching experience the last time I was at the dis­ pensary. A poor woman well on in years came bringing a basket of peanuts which she had earned that day by working in the fields. I did not remember having seen her before and thought she was offering them for sale. When I spoke to her she said she had brought the peanuts as a present for having been cured of a sore foot some three years ago. I remembered her then as the woman with the badly in­ fected foot, who spent several weeks in our dispensary and who had never expected to be able to use her foot again. I was deeply touched by this poor woman’s gratitude. She is of low caste and hardly knows what it is to have enough to eat. Yet she brought all her day’s earning to show her gratitude even though it was three years since she was cured.

The work is growing, the harvest is great, and our prayers must be more constant than ever that the Lord will send forth not only laborers to the fields, but laborers in the home churches, without whom the harvest cannot be gathered. ‘ M argaret B. S cudder, Secretary for India.

YOKOHAMA Educational . Ferris Seminary—The year 1922 in Ferris Seminary has been one of marked changes. There were the usual changes in the student body attendant upon the closing of one school year and opening of the following. Forty-four students were graduated in April and 185 new stu­ dents enrolled, which brought the total enrollment up to 639. In April, Miss Janet Oltmans, having served her first full mis­ sionary term, went home for a well-deserved furlough. In April also the school lost the valuable services of Miss May Demarest through her marriage to Mr. Kuyper of Oita.*

* On FurlouRh. 1923-24. t Language School Students. Miss Noordhoff of Sturges Seminary and Miss Teets, at the sacri­ fice of her language study, were assigned to supply these vacancies. On May 25th, the school sustained a great loss in the death of Miss Julia Moulton. Miss Moulton had been associated with the school as teacher of both vocal and instrumental music for over 33 years and had during that period won for the school in its musical depart­ ment a high reputation and for herself the deep respect and love of all associated with her. Nothing could have been more impressive than the sad yet beau­ tiful and harmonious closing of Miss Moulton’s long period of service of song. It was while she was playing an accompaniment for her pupils that the call came—the music ceased—and Miss Moulton was no more. Temporary provision was made for Miss Moulton’s work by the appointment of Miss Hildreth, who, as short term teacher, came out in September. Further great changes took place when in September, Dr. Booth, after having served forty years as Principal, retired from active service in that capacity. Dr. Booth’s long career as Principal had been one of marked success, during which he was the recipient of various honors bestowed upon him by the Government Educational Department of Japan in recognition of his valuable contribution to the cause of education. The school with its present enrollment of over 600 girls stands as a monument to Dr. Booth’s far-sighted policy and untiring efforts for its expansion. Full and well-deserved recognition of the closing of this remark­ able career was taken by the school in two farewell meetings held in his honor—one for the pupils and one for the Alumnae and friends. At the latter, where over 500 guests were present, the Alumnae, teachers and pupils expressed their appreciation to Dr. Booth by a handsome gift of Yen 5,000. Miss Kuyper, who had been appointed to succeed Dr. Booth, took charge in September. Only very minor changes have taken place in the personnel of the Japanese faculty. At this time of change important questions in regard to the future policy of the school are being carefully weighed. It is recog­ nized that the school, with its present limited working force and inadequate equipment, must consider the question of greater limita­ tion in its enrollment in order to do its most effective work. How the school can be served most faithfully in its highest interests, religious, educational, and social, is the question which will determine expansion or limitation in its numbers as its future policy. The deep spiritual needs of our school, its many perplexing prob­ lems at this difficult transition period in its history are a challenge to faith. But with the church at home uniting with us on the field in earnest, effectual prayer, the future of the school may become as bright as the promises of God are sure. 36 Womans Board of Foreign Missions

NAGASAKI Evangelistic Miss Couch reports: House hunting, moving and settling have taken a good deal of precious time and strength since our return from vacation in September. We spread out the settling considerably so that it would interfere with regular work as little as possible and will have to carry over a little into the new year. Our present house has some strikingly good points and some just as strikingly incon­ venient, but a light sunny study and a separate room for meetings are two of our blessings. Another blessing has been a willing and faithful little helper, Miss Tachio, who had so far developed that when I was ill or absent she could be trusted to go alone to the children’s meetings and was able to attend to the folding and mailing of our monthly paper, besides saving our time and strength in many other ways. But with the end of the year she leaves us to get married, and we have no one in sight to fill her place. We deeply regret that she is to marry a man who is not a Christian and that she does not seem to realize the danger of such a marriage. The two children’s meetings, the Friday school and the Saturday school, have been on the whole encouraging. In the former two little girls were present at every session, and in that school it is seldom that a child fails to repeat the memory verse; even some who cannot yet speak plainly lisp it. At this school over twenty were present at the Christmas celebration, and all had a happy time. The Room in which our Saturday school is held is so unsuitable • for festivities that we had the children come to this house and, although" it is more than a half hour’s walk, over thirty were present and enjoyed the tree, the exercises, the evangelist’s talk and the little gifts. Both schools are small, but a large number could not be very advantageously managed, as we have but one room and one class in each place. The “Ochibo,” our little paper, has been as usual sent out eleven months of the twelve. We have now 1,150 copies printed each month, and it is sent not only to many places in Japan, from Kagoshima in the south to the Hokkaido in the north, but goes also to Formosa, Korea, Manchuria, Shanghai and Bombay, and even as far as America. The cost of publishing for the year was Yen, 445.81 or $222.90 and the income from Japanese sources, Yen 225.53 or $112.76, just a little more than half. This is the largest amount and the greatest propor­ tion that has as yet been given. We have continued this year the “Ochibo Fund,” which we began in September of last year, for the greatly needed new church in Nagasaki. As a good many of our scattered readers were formerly members or attendants of the Nagasaki church, we felt they could be reached more easily in this way than in any other. Many of the contributions have been small, but the total amount at the end of the year, Yen 722.04 or $361.02, represents the interest of more than one hundred and fifty people. ' During the eight years and a half since we began our city work the opportunities have never been greater than this year. Through the Christian wife of the former Superintendent of Cus­ toms, Miss Tomegawa was invited to teach knitting to a small class of women whose husbands hold quite high positions. She consented only on condition that she be allowed to teach the Bible also. The class was held weekly, and so much interest developed that when she was away in the summer they kept up the meeting, reading the Bible without a teacher. A non-Christian doctor who lives near our former home was con­ siderably troubled about the behavior of his nurses, and Miss Tome­ gawa was asked by a Christian relative of the doctor’s to hold a meeting there. She was greatly pleased to find an audience of about twenty-five as they had, like Cornelius, invited the relatives, as well as the inmates of the house. And from that meeting developed one very earnest inquirer, whom Miss Tomegawa now instructs weekly, and who attends church and our women’s meetings. This little woman has a rich but dissolute husband from whom she has had very much to bear. She has a Christian sister who has given her a Bible and urged her to study Christianity to get help and comfort, but until she heard the talk at the doctor’s home she had no inclination to follow the advice. Recently we have noticed so many instances of trouble or sorrow leading women to seek help from our religion. Just before summer we called on a woman whose husband had been baptized at a distant outstation. She had attended Sunday school as a child, had lived in an evangelist’s family, had had every opportunity to become a Christian, but seemed to have no desire to do so. While we were away her only little girl died, and through that sorrow God spoke to her. Almost immediately she was baptized and seems such a happy Christian. I go weekly across the bay to instruct a young mother of three children, who was led to study the Bible because her life with her husband was so unhappy that had it not been for the children she would probably have been divorced. I fear the fault was not entirely on his side, but now she seems happier and says that things look so different since she has heard the teaching. Recently a neighbor of hers came to listen; her story is a far sadder one, but it is doubt­ less the heavy heart that makes her willing to come. The home Bible classes and the calling in many homes have been continued; the latter only time and strength, not opportunity, limits. Early in the year Rev. Paul Kanamori held evangelistic services in connection with our church. His simple, earnest message was gladly listened to, but very few definite inquirers developed among the women as a result. The last two months of the year found me in much better health than for some time previous, so it is with great gratitude and with much hope that I look forward to the work of the new year. Please pray that God may be fully glorified in us. 38 Woman’s Board of Foreign Missiens

SHIMONOSEKI Educational Sturges Seminary, Baiko Jo Gakuin—Sturges Seminary has pro­ gressed in many ways during the year. Two new buildings, a dormi­ tory that will house fifty girls and a residence for the Principal, have been erected. An electrical pumping apparatus that will liber­ ally supply the campus with city water, adequate fire protection, a new tennis court, seven new teachers (all but one filling vacancies) including a matron for the dormitory, and ninety new pupils have been added to the sum of its equipment. There are now seven build­ ings, twenty-one teachers, and two hundred and sixty-six pupils. Twenty of the teachers and sixty of the pupils are baptized Chris­ tians. On March 22, 1922, there were forty-four girls graduated, sixteen more than the previous year. Of these, four, are in active Christian service, six went to colleges, and others are scattered, throughout Japan, Korea and Formosa, making the forces of Christ's army stronger by so much Christian womanhood, for more than two-thirds of the graduates became professing Christians while in Sturges Semi­ nary. For the first time in its history a graduate of Sturges passed the entrance examination for the Nara Higher Normal. The scholastic standards of this Higher Normal are higher than those of any other school in all Japan. The entrance class, limited to twenty, was picked from every part of the Empire. While character stands with us higher than scholarship, our ideal is to develop them side by side and each instance of success is noted with pleasure. “We have,” writes Miss Jennie Pieters, “three classes of gradu­ ates: those who return to their homes to walk much the same path that their grandmothers did, those who take the leap in the dark and grasp a dangerous emancipation, and those who take the golden middle way and with strength and force of leadership form a force that purifies the nation. The year 1922 has added many to the num­ ber of girls who, going out from Sturges, “Make bright our way and light our dreams, Turning to scorn with lips divine The falsehood of extremes.” And for that we are thankful. • These graduates and those of previous years, as well as friends of the school, show an increasing interest in it financially. Gifts from Japanese sources this year were more than one thousand Yen. This is a time of economic difficulty and high prices; so this speaks seven times more eloquently of love and loyalty to the school. At Christmas time a hundred Yen was given for the Russian sufferers. Christianity has at least partially leavened the lump. On October 30th, the anniversary of the Public School System of Japan, exercises were held in every school in the Empire, Sturges included. Four of the teachers who have been with the school the longest (Miss Pieters being one) were presented with tokens of appreciation by the teachers and pupils. A gathering in the after­ noon for the teachers of Shimonoseki was held at the Club Gardens. Standards and ideas are advancing rapidly in Japan, and our schools, Sturges included, need strong Faculties, stronger than we have so far, to face the issues and determine the direction those standards shall take. The strength of the Faculty determines the strength of the school’s graduates, and in the standards of its gradu­ ates lies either its success or its failure.

SAGA Evangelistic Miss Hospers reports: “Everything changes” can be said about many things in this world, but about my work there seems to have been hardly any change until September when I moved out of the Manse, which had been my home for so many years, into this new place and began a new center of work. This is a fine old Japanese house, exceptionally well adapted to a single lady missionary and two Bible women. Three days a week the girls from the three Saga Girls’ Schools come for singing and a Bible discussion. About fifteen to twenty of each school come. These classes are in charge of a faithful Sunday school helper, Miss Nagata, who graduated from Sturges Seminary last spring. This same girl has charge of three Sunday schools. The one at the Manse is held on Sunday and therefore the attendance has been badly diminished, for it seems that all public baseball games, picnics, parties and field-meets are always held on Sunday afternoon. I have been thinking that perhaps a Sunday afternoon Sunday school is going to be almost an impossible thing. One other Sunday school is held on Saturday and is very small. A third and much larger one is held farther out of the town. On Wednesday afternoons we still visit the hospital, though not weekly as last year, because the funds available were little more than half of last year’s amount and sufficient newspapers, tracts and magazines could not be ordered. This year we gave Kanamori’s little book, “The Way to Faith,” as a Christmas present to over two hundred and fifty sick people. Owing to opposition the fine class of high school girls at Yana- gawa had to be discontinued for two months. It has been rumored that the principal was the cause of it, but that he will lift the ban. Miss Sato, the regular Bible woman, is a graduate of the Bible school in Yokohama. Through her morning classes and the influence of her personal work three women received baptism the Sunday before Christmas. She also conducts a girls’ class at Takeo. Perhaps the most interesting bit of work has been the trip to Kitogata, the mining town near here. The Sunday school there has a membership which practically changes every time of meeting. There are never less than two hundred during the three meetings in one afternoon. We dismiss one roomful to make place for the next. Our methods, the order of the children, and the harmony of the songs would be the despair of any sane, orthodox, Christian Sunday school superintendent. These children are dear, dirty little folk who are brought up on the regular Japanese system. Last week on a bitterly cold day, the children came in with bare feet, and hands chapped and blue with the cold, and I said, “It' is cold, isn't it?” “No,” they answered. Thinking that they did not understand X said again: “You are cold, aren't you?” And once more they replied too readily and too emphatically: “No.” Then I said, “Did your teacher tell you to say that?” “Yes.” Sunday school certainly breaks down all self repression. Some­ times I wish they would have a little more of it when they are in class. After the Sunday school classes we began a singing class for the older girls. About thirty always attend. One special thing happened this year which we have never done before. Japan is strong on festivals. Saga has two, one in the spring and one in the fall, large Buddhist festivals. For a number of years Mr. Yan Bronkhorst has had a stand where he first sold Bibles and later on added commentaries and other books. Men, women and children gather around and in the afternoon, after school is out, children especially are in evidence. An idea was conceived: Why not have an open air children’s meeting and get a good speaker and teach the children a song? This fall we did it. Every afternoon for three days during the festival a new story and a new song were taught to big crowds. Mr. Van Bronkhorst evolved the brilliant idea of tying up five or six tracts and putting an old used American post-card on top and selling the package for one sen. The unbeliev­ able thing is that they sold like “hot cakes,” especially those with the prettiest postals. MORAL: Don't throw away any of your post cards. Send them all to me, I can use them.

KAGOSHIMA Evangelistic In addition to her home duties, Mrs. Hoekje’s activities throughout the year have been limited chiefly to assistance of the local church Ladies' Society, and a weekly hymn singing class at the church. Miss Kuyper's transfer to Ferris Seminary has meant the tempo­ rary loss of all women workers and abandonment of a large part of the work conducted by them. With her two helpers, in addition to eleven weekly classes in Bible and English for small groups of girls, Miss Kuyper had four weekly children's meetings, with an average total attendance of 170, one weekly meeting for nurses at the Pre- fectural hospital, with about twenty in attendance, and one monthly meeting in a factory dormitory, with over a hundred in attendance. One young lady was influenced to enter a Bible woman's Training School, and two or three others were hindered from doing so only by ill health or family circumstances. In June, when Miss Kuyper moved to Yokohama, one of the two helpers accompanied her and has shown sterling qualities as general assistant. The other helper was prevented by ill health from returning. Thus crippled for the first time in years, the station's woman's work during the closing months of the year was limited to the maintenance of a Sunday school in the special rooms at the missionary home, with about thirty in attendance. In March, 1923, the monthly factory meeting was resumed, with hope of being continued. ^ .. FUKUOKA Evangelistic Miss Harriet Lansing has been ill most of the year, though re­ covered sufficiently to work during the summer. Since early Novem­ ber she has been ill with a mild form of pleuro-pneumonia and, though gaining, will obviously call for a long period of convalescence. Such trials interrupt the work sadly. <* The Bible Women have done excellent work. Miss Uchida is a graduate of Sturges Seminary and the Bible Women’s Training School in Yokohama and is one of the most experienced and de­ pendable workers. Miss Tanaka is a graduate of Ferris Seminary of the class of 1921; without technical training she is developing into a fine worker. One of the young women recently baptized was the first fruit of her labors in soul-winning. The Bible Women teach in the church Sunday school and in addi­ tion conduct three other small schools, one at the Missionary’s resi­ dence on Sunday afternoon, one on Tuesdays in Sumiyoshi and one on Fridays at Minoshima. _ OITA Evangelistic Mrs. Hubert Kuyper reports: Sunday Schools—From the time that Mrs. Pieters left Oita until last May, when the Mission appointed a Baiko graduate of that year to assist in the work for children, no “woman’s work” has been done in Oita. That work now consists of three Sunday-schools. The church Sunday-school in which she is assisted by one of the church women has grown from twenty to forty as an average attendance. In the home of one of the Christians a school was opened with an attendance of thirty-four, which soon grew to about 140 little ones who came regularly each Thursday afternoon. This drew the attention and opposition of the priests of a large Buddhist temple nearby who at first started a rival school and later forbade the children to come, telling them that each must pay a large sum if he did. However, the attendance continued to be about fifty in spite of their efforts, so that they then worked through the landlord and had the family ejected. So ended that effort. In about a week we started another in the house of a Christian who owned his house and met opposition from the same priests, although the children reached were an entirely different group. That one started with about eighteen and grew to thirty, when suddenly it dropped to five or six each week. We finally found out that the priests were telling the children and their parents that all who attended had to pay Yen 6, later reduced to Yen 3, if they came. Moreover, the reason the teacher wrote the names in a book and called them each week was that she might send them all to 0 Jigoku (Hell). It worked for a while but gradually the children began to come back and the average attendance is now thirty-four. The third is in the home of another Christian and meets each Saturday. This was the largest from the beginning (30) and this too has grown till we have an average of sixty-five in attendance. So far there has been no opposition, as it is in the precinct of a large Shinto shrine and, moreover, both the priests and the people are sworn enemies of the Buddhist temple and the people of the other neighbor­ hood, which is after all but a stone’s throw away. So long as the Buddhist opposition continued they told us there wouldv probably be none from the Shinto priests and it seems to be true as we have worked in quiet and peace for nearly a year. This is the most suc­ cessful, too, in that the children listen more attentively and remember well. They love the story of Moses and at song time nearly raise the roof in their enthusiasm. Sewing School.—Besides the Sunday-school work we go every week to a small sewing-school to teach hymns and find the girls very quick to learn and very ready also to listen to any little explanation of the message that the morning’s singing may bring. Occasionally they meet at the house here and seem to enjoy the novelty of that. Two groups of higher school girls come for English and several are being instructed regularly also in the Bible in Japanese. In the Church Ladies’ Aid a group of twelve have become interested and have become members of the National Mothers’ Association, which sends out each month leaflets on various subjects relating to home life. This is a Movement having as its president Mrs. Draper of the M. E. Mission and as contributing writers various missionaries and Christian Japanese women who are interested in raising the standard of home life. Elise w H ilLj Secretary for Japan.

MASKAT Medical—Dr. Hosmon in charge. Medical Mrs. Van Peursem left for Kodai Kanal, India, in the spring of 1922 and, because of poor health, was unable to return to Arabia in the fall but went to Fribourg, Switzerland, to visit a sister before returning to America for the balance of her furlough. Miss Lutton did not return to Maskat from Australia till August, 1922; consequently, the only report for the whole year comes from Dr. Hosmon, and will be given largely in her own words, as follows: “In our medical work in Maskat this year we have received many blessings, for which we thank God. After having been really cramped for the past eight years, you can imagine how glad and relieved I am to have plenty of space in which to develop the Hospital work.

On furlough, 1923*24. So I thank God for stirring the hearts of the influential Arabs to give me the lot which adjoined the dispensary. It was a delight to see how thoroughly the in-patients enjoyed having an open secluded place to spend their afternoons. “I am most grateful to the Hindu who built such a splendid high stone wall around the new lot and repaired one of the old rooms that was given to us. It was a tonic to see the interest he and other Hindus have shown in the medical work. I also thank Khan Bahadur Naseeb for the gift of the new bathrooms and the nurses’ kitchen and for repairing the second old room that came with the lot. I thank Mr. Chootalal for his interest and gift of two hundred fifty flag stones, with Portland cement for a new floor in the drug room. One morning when I was busy in the dispensary a servant came with a note which read, ‘Please accept the enclosed money for your work.' It contained one hundred fifty Rupees from some prominent Hindus. Another morning a gift of forty Rupees was sent from the Date Packing Company. Just after I returned from India a servant called from this same Company to welcome me back and give me a hundred-Rupee note. Muscat is not rich. It is, I believe, the poorest and the smallest station in the Arabian Mission. But these are examples of the appreciation the few wealthy ones have shown in the medical work. I thank Mr. Van Peursem for looking after the build­ ing work during the past year. “There were three epidemics last year. The first was cholera. It was impossible to get vaccines from India within five weeks, which was too late to combat the epidemic, but a few mild cases we were able to save by medical means. In the middle of the year there was a widespread epidemic of measles throughout the Province. The Arab women think they know how to treat their own cases of measles by giving patients cold baths, keeping them very scantily covered, and feeding them cucumbers and buttermilk. Most of them developed pneumonia and died. In March, smallpox broke out in the coast towns, causing many deaths. But it is interesting to note that Muscat was largely protected by the vaccinations by Mrs. Van Peursem and Miss Lutton during 1918-1922. “In the devotional side of my work, I have used only one Gospel talk all the year, so that by constant repetition the women would remember what was told them. I have tried to be faithful in giving the Gospel to the in-patients. My nurses and I have kept at our Bible studies in the Old Testament every Sunday afternoon, and during the week we spent extra hours at prayer for a deep spiritual awakening in all our stations in Arabia. “I had two definite invitations for touring, but my health did not permit me to go. Now that we have more room for in-patients we expect a better record this year. We had more of them this past year than ever. Among them were a few from the interior of the Province. The total number for the last year was forty-two. For the whole eight and a half months’ work, there were fourteen opera­ tions, one hundred forty professional calls, 1,914 new patients, 3,913 old patients; total attendance of 5,129.” BASRA EducationcUr-Miss Charlotte B. Kellien in charge, aided by Mrs. Barny. Evangelistic—Mrs. Van Ess in charge, and the ever faithful Bible Women, Saidi Dosha and Saidi Hanna. Medical—Hospital still rented to the Government and no Mission doctors! Educational Mrs. Thoms was in charge of the Girls1 Schools at Basra and Ashar until she left for her furlough in May, when Miss Kellien re­ sumed charge after her furlough. The two Armenian girls who were graduated from the School last November after taking the full eight years’ course have been teaching this past year in their Alma Mater, and this year another Armenian girl will have completed the course. , Miss Kellien writes: “We are looking forward to next autumn, when a Moslem girl will receive her diploma, provided her father allows her to stay with us. He threatened to keep her at home this year because she has reached the advanced age of thirteen, but she and her sister, realizing the efficacy of feminine tears, cried and pleaded with him throughout the holidays; so he finally gave her per­ mission to come back for one more year. Mrs. Thoms felt that the graduating exercises had a good effect in interesting outsiders and in making the mothers want to have their daughters participate in similar exercises. The women dearly love a display of any sort, and it is probable that the distinction of having their children occupy the first place before their relatives and friends means more than the attainment of knowledge which the diploma is supposed to represent, but whatever their ambition may be, we are glad for every term that is added to the school life of our girls. “In Basra we still continue to have a number of Armenians and Syrians and a couple of Jewesses on the roll, and of Moslem pupils there is only a small majority, while in Ashar three-fourths of the pupils are Moslems. The total enrollment in Basra was between sixty and seventy and the average attendance, forty-four; in Ashar the enrollment was about fifty and the average attendance thirty-five. The difference between the enrollment and the attendance is a trial to all the teachers, but until fevers, sore eyes and long periods of mourning, to say nothing of various feast days, are banished from Basra, we shall have to accept irregular attendance with as good grace as possible. A widespread epidemic of measles and whooping- cough in Basra City in May and June sadly depleted our ranks, although the children themselves were eager to continue to come, bringing their diseases with them! The pupils’ love for the school is one of the most heartening features of the work, and that love is working many changes in their outlook and ideals, although as yet it has not led them to a realization and appropriation of the saving love of Christ. A Jewish girl, who has been a pupil for some years, seems to have a clearer perception of the spiritual truths of the New Testament than even the Christian girls in the same class and 46 IVOman’s Board of Foreign Missions admits that she believes in Christ as the Gospel presents Him, but she says she cannot forsake the religion of her fathers. Among the Moslem girls there is a general testimony to the excellencies of Chris­ tianity as manifested in the lives of Christians and a condemnation of Mohammedans for their lack of similar virtues because of their failure to bring forth good fruit. All the pupils need your prayers that the daily Bible lesson may carry conviction and the courage of that conviction to many hearts. There should be more time given to personal work, for it is only in conversation with individuals that one can measure the interest which they are too shy or too fearful to express before their schoolmates j but as long as the missionary’s day must be full of class-room duties, this side of the work and the calling in the homes cannot be given all the attention they deserve. “A government school for girls has been opened this autumn and, with instruction in the Koran occupying so prominent a place in the curriculum, one cannot wonder that many parents prefer to send their daughters _ where there is no fear of their being influenced to leave the Islamic fold. A Moslem girl, who has been acting as a pupil-teacher in our school for six years, left us suddenly to accept a position in the government school at a much larger salary, and with her went twenty of our most promising Moslem girls. The news­ papers have made much of the new venture and, since instruction in English is not considered so essential ,for girls as for boys, it is hard for us to compete with this combination of Church and State. The effect of government schools on our teachers is another problem to be faced. While our Armenian teachers are very loath to teach on Sundays and would much prefer to stay with us, the large salaries offered by the Government are a temptation to them, and we are conscious of their dissatisfaction. Educational work in Mesopotamia is an expensive undertaking, and would be even more so if we spent what we really should for equipment and a more competent teaching staff. A boarding school should also be included in our plans for the near future, and with the missionary in charge living in the building, there is increasing probability that such a venture would prove a success.” Evangelistic Mrs. Van Ess continues to find the two Bible Women most help­ ful and spiritual in all their contacts with their country women and winning the respect of even fanatical Moslem teachers. With their help, the weekly Christian prayer meetings have been held regularly in different Christian homes, and Mrs. Van Ess has herself conducted the Moslem prayer meetings, which have met in Moslem huts and have meant much to the women. The women of her Bible Class are a “joy to teach,” though progress is slow because they cannot read. Mrs. Van Ess writes: “One of our friends, first known to us in hospital days and a devoted friend to all the missionary circle in Ba§ra, went on the pilgrimage to Mecca during the past year and her reaction to it has been a most interesting one. She has always been fanatical and has a Mullaya sister who is even more fanatical than herself, and we wondered what the result of her journey would i be. Curiously enough, she has come back far more approachable and much less cocksure than before and her unquestioned faith in her own religion has been greatly shaken by seeing the fanatics and the / treatment of Moslems by fellow-Moslems when on pilgrimage. As ' i a Hajjia she is a much less dauntless opponent in controversy than r' she was before she became one. ’ ‘ “A former school girl, Persian in origin and one of the cleverest ‘ and most unusual girls we have ever had in school (as well as the naughtiest!) told one of the Bible Women last winter that she thor­ oughly believed in Christianity and that she wished to become a Christian. She declared that she fully realized the seriousness of j the step and was prepared for it—did not care if her father killed : her, nor if he turned her out of the house—that she would earn her / living for herself, even as a dancing girl, if necessary! I do not know how much of her declaration is pure bravado, nor how much is the desire to escape from a circumscribed life of circumstances peculiarly galling to a high-spirited girl. However, if our faith is great enough we may see her and many others begin to turn the tide ‘ of Moslem women to Christ. “Work for women is in a way far more discouraging than school work because there is nothing to show for it, visibly and outwardly. ‘But while the tired waves, vainly breaking, Seem here no painful inch to gain, Far back, through creeks and inlets making, Comes silent, flooding in, the main. . ‘And not by eastern windows only, ( When daylight comes, comes in the light; , In front the sun climbs slow, how slowly, j But westward, look, the land is bright!’ ” 1 BAHREIN Evangelistic—Mrs. Gerrit J. Pennings in charge. Educational—Mrs. Louis P. Dame in charge. . Evangelistic At the end of her third year of work in Bahrein Mrs. Pennings feels that she is just beginning to know the work and its problems and how to handle them. Prayers with the out-patients have been i continued and talks with the in-patients. Nurse Sundri has taken ; some of the Clinic services, as has the wife of the Colporteur, Hanna, who has been taken on as a Bible Woman and has won the friend- i ship of her neighbors by her friendly, helpful and sincere spirit and I has been a real comfort and source of sympathy in their times of sor­ row. Encouraging interest has been taken in the prayer meetings , and Sunday school class. Frequent visits have been made to Mo- harrek, where pleasant days were enjoyed with the Sheikha and other friends and opportunities used for reading or singing the Gospel message. Bedaia was visited by the language students and the Bible 1 Women, who reported a cordial reception and a great eagerness to I hear the foreign ladies. The weekly receptions offered opportunities to help those who came to call on the missionaries. Mrs. Pennings writes: “In submitting this brief report, it is with the prayer that both our helpers, and we ourselves may increasingly learn to work not only for Christ but also with Him, and hence in His power. May God water the seed sown, especially that which is germinating, and cause it in His good time to bring forth fruit to His glory.” Educational Mrs. Dame opened the Bahrein Girls’ School on April 17th with twelve girls, and the total enrollment reached nineteen—including two native Christians, eight Moslems and nine Jewesses. The subjects covered were: Bible, arithmetic, reading and writing in Arabic, with a little hygiene and hand-work, and English reading, writing and con­ versation, with music and physical exercises. The children loved the school and made rapid progress, especially in arithmetic, English conversation and music. Before the school closed on July 26th for the summer vacation there were two gala days, one an Exhibition of the work done, the other a picnic by “jolly boat” -to Jezira. The mothers of the children were tremendously pleased with the results of the first term of work, and several Arab mothers have promised to send their girls to Mrs. Dame after they have finished the reading of the Koran in their own schools. The Board has been asked to furnish $5,000 for a much needed school building in Bahrein, as it is most difficult to find suitable quarters for renting.

KUWEIT Medical—Miss Van Pelt in charge. Evangelistic—Miss Grace 0. Strang and Miss Van Pelt. Medical There has been no woman doctor in Kuweit since Mrs. Calverley left in the Spring of 1922 for her furlough, and Miss Van Pelt’s health has suffered from overwork in trying to do double duty as nurse and doctor. Dr. and Mrs. Mylrea received a warm welcome from their many friends in Kuweit on their arrival there a few days before Christmas and were given a beautiful Arab horse by the Sheikh, besides a goat and other presents from admiring friends and “grateful patients.” Miss Van Pelt’s furlough is due in the Spring of 1923, and that will leave Kuweit without even a woman doctor or a trained nurse. Mrs. Mylrea has been appointed to the medical work to fill the gap as best she may, for she has had some experience in helping her husband in his medical and surgical work, but oh! that some im­ mediately available and strong Evangelical doctors might be found for the neglected women of “Neglected Arabia” ! Evangelistic | • Miss Grace 0. Strang joined the Mission in February and has helped in every possible way, though still a language student.

j AMARA Evangelistic—Mrs. Dykstra in charge. Evangelistic Mr. and Mrs. Dykstra arrived in Amara on March 1, 1922, and were heartily 'welcomed by Mr. and Mrs. Bilkert, who helped them to become acquainted with their new field before they left for Bagdad. Mrs. Dykstra had made about two hundred calls in Amara. The very first one proved to be one of the most difficult she had ever made, for the woman fairly raved against the Gospel and the idea of Jesus ChristJs being the Son of God. Later she had the grace to apologize and asked Mrs. Dykstra to spend the day with her. The need for a Girls’ School, constantly expressed, presents a great opportunity to the Mission. Mrs. Dykstra has written a very interesting account of conditions and people in Amara and of the contrasts she finds between Bahrein and Amara, but lack of space prevents inserting that, as our readers will want to know more particularly of the newly started River Work, made possible by the gift through Mr. W. E. Blackstone of the motor boat, “Milton Stewart.” Mrs. Dykstra writes: “The launch not being ready until the hot weather was upon us, our trips were confined to the rivers and most of our work was done on the way to and from Basra. I was* glad to have Miss Kellien with me several times in those strange places and stranger experiences. In Medina on the Euphrates and in Jillat Salih we had very encouraging receptions. In Jillat this is largely the result of work of other missionaries in the past, both of our own Mission and of the C. M. S. Very few of the women in Medina had ever seen white women and so they crowded around us, intensely curious, and had we not been in the house of the Sheikh it might have been less pleasant. All were very friendly and urged us to come again. “Wherever we have gone we have found the needy ones, ‘dead in trespasses and sins/ ‘strangers from the covenants of promise/ ‘having no hope.’ Some are altogether indifferent and superior to any overtures we make. Others are afraid and cautious towards these foreigners. Some are boldly curious and, having learned to look upon the ‘Anglaise’ as the source of ‘baksheesh’ and gain, crowd around us on the launch and our greatest present task is to restrain, yet not to repel, their advances, making acquaintance with us so desirable that they will want us to come again even with no ‘baksheesh’ in sight. There are a large number who are curious to hear what our message is and crowd around to listen in much the same spirit as the men of Athens crowded around Paul, to hear ‘what this babbler hath to say/ as the following incident shows. “On one visit there were three of us present. We sat in a row and two of us at either end were near the women that crowded around. We did our very best to become acquainted, but with very indifferent success. Towards the close of the visit one of the women, pointing to the third party in the middle who had been silent through 50 Womans Board of Foreign Missions it. all, said, . ‘That one is wise \ and understanding; r she says nothing but just looks on and observes.’ “But all are not like thefee. There generally are some present of the type of Lydia, and when we see them we recall the lines: ‘Down in the human heart, crushed by the tempter, Feelings lie buried! that grace can restore. Touched by a lovingj heart, wakened by kindness, Chords that were broken will vibrate once more.’

“It is our earnest prayer and hope that the Milton Stewart may be the harbinger of good tilings to many of these neglected women, our sisters in spite of theii'j filth and their ignorance. A long time has passed since Harry Wiersum wrote his last letter for publication, which appeared in print after the news of his death had reached the churches. But his plea for^ someone to come to the rescue of these needy women and children 'of this.river country is beginning to be answered. And it was not only he who pled for them. Many prayers have been offered up for this particular opportunity. We pray for grace, wisdom and faithfulness to meet these opportunities in the spirit of the Master,, ‘who, when He saw the multitudes, had compassion on them.’ ” f A full account of the Women’s Evangelistic Work in Amara as well as of Men’s Evangelistic Work there by Mr. and Mrs. Dykstra will be found in “Neglected Arabia” for the months of January, February and March, 1923 (No. 124). BAGDAD Evangelistic—Mrs. Bilkert in charge. Evangelistic j Last year quite a full report of the work in Bagdad was given by Mrs. Cantine, and readers of the Year Book are referred to that for further details than thise given below in the report from Mrs. Bilkert for 1922. | Mrs. Bilkert writes: “W^e have been in Bagdad only half a year; so we have had only a peejp into the life of this crowded city. It would be hard to describe this Oriental capital. It is baffling with its confusion of tongues and races, its endless network of narrow streets and alleys and its queer mixture of the new and old. Through the vicissitudes of war, Bagdad has become the refuge center for Assy­ rians, Armenians and Russians. An English lady is no longer a novelty; in fact this old cijty of ‘Arabian Nights’ has become quite accustomed to Western modes and manners. “A few only of the Moslem women in Bagdad have kept pace with the times. . I went to call in a wealthy home, where the hostess, in short'skirts and French heels, served us with English cake and tea. She spoke her few words |of English, having learned them at the request of her husband. She showed us the pictures of her brothers, who were studying in Paris, and seemed proud and interested in what they were to become. “But for the most: part, the women of Bagdad have not changed. Our house is on the river bank and all day long the women come down to fill their water jars and wash their clothes. Little interests them but the price of mutton and the neighborhood scandals. These whom poverty forces into the outdoor duties of carrying water and market­ ing in the bazaar are careless about veiling and go about freely on the streets. They have much more real freedom than their rich, secluded sisters, who very seldom go outside the walls of their own houses and, when they do, are veiled so heavily in their black satin abbas that they look like so many shrouded mummies! “When we moved here, I knew only one woman on this side of the river, but it does not take long to get acquainted in the East. People are not afraid of strangers as we are apt to be in the West. There is no privacy with the Arabs and it is always proper to accept any invitation to enter their homes. Walking along one of the little narrow streets one day, I passed a group of children playing in the dirt. As usual, there were sore eyes among them, and I offered them some drops from the bottle of eye medicine in my bag. Medicine always makes a hit in the Orient. It is generally needed, to be sure. It makes no difference what kind it is or where it is to be applied; that does not matter—just so it is medicine! These children took me into their homes to doctor the eyes of their baby sisters and mothers or anybody else that wanted it. Swelling with pride, they declared I had medicine that would cure not only eyes but everything else! Soon the courtyard was filled with curious, yelling, demanding women and children. But they have been my friends ever since. As soon as I go into their alley they tag after me, pulling open their eye-lids and yelling for medicine. Their homes are always open to me now; their mothers or grandmothers greet me with friendly smiles and that means a lot in missionary work. My little bottle of eye medicine has been the wedge, as it were, to open their hearts and homes. Some come to the house each day for medicine, for sore eyes are very common here. “The women are better educated here than the women down the Persian Gulf. In one home the mother and her two grown daughters can read while the husband can not. In talking of it, the mother said, ‘Yes, I love to read and when my girls were young I told them if they did not learn to read, I would kill them F Now, her daughters, being divorced, live at home and earn their living by teaching young boys and girls to read the Koran. They squat on the ground, teacher and pupil facing each other, with the Koran in between. The teacher swaying back and forth sings off the lines in a monotonous droning voice, and the children repeat them after her, keeping about two words behind. The words mean nothing to the children and it is just a thing to be learned by heart. When they are able to recite it in parrot fashion, they are considered educated and are dismissed. For many this is the limit of education. To the Arab the Koran contains all that one need know both for this world and the next. I have often listened to the children repeating their meaningless phrases under persuasion of a rod and compared them in my mind with our happy little American kindergartners playing about their pic­ tures aqd sapd tables. A. few women can pick up any book and 52 bVoman’s Board of Foreign Missions attempt to read it intelligently. And those few have readily accepted portions of our Bible such as the Psalms and Gospels. One old Mulla (teacher) comes -every morning for medicine and sits down on the door-step for a chat. She never fails to deplore the wickedness of the times and the unbelief of today. She realizes that Moslems are not observing their rites as they used to and knows it is a sign of weakness. Her own life is made up of keeping the many observances in Islam. She would sooner die than break one of them. I have given her the Gospel of John and have talked with her many times. But to her salvation is only gained by fulfilling all requirements and by honoring the long list of Moslem saints. She has believed this so long that now her heart seems absolutely satisfied with it. It is ter­ rible to see how trustfully she believes in that which is only an untruth. If she had heard the sweet story of Jesus and of His love for the lost when she was a little girl and before her heart had become tainted with false beliefs, how easy it would have been to accept it! Now she cannot. Islam blinds and stunts the heart and mind. Seeing this one old woman has made me think more than ever that we must strive to get the children. We must teach- them before their minds become'calloused and their hearts bad. Our hope is in the unspoiled, untaught children. j “One of the bright spots in the year has been in the life of our one converted Moslem woman. She heard the Gospel read in Basra by Mrs. Cantine and was so impressed by it that she went again and again to listen and soon declared her intention of becoming a Chris­ tian. A few years ago she came to Bagdad. Since Mrs. Cantine left she has been coming here for lessons with me. One day she said, (Will God forgive a sin that was committed long ago in one’s youth?’ Then she went on to tell of a sin she could not forget. She belonged to a rich and hot-tempered family. One day she quarreled with her younger sister and, being almost crazed with anger, when her brother returned home, she pointed to her sister and said, *See your sister; she has been going secretly out of the house and has committed evil.’ The brother, believing the lie, rushed at the sister and stabbed her to death with his knife, then wrapped her in his abba and carried her to the river. The people of the town heard of the outrage but were so afraid of the hot-headed brother that no one dared to punish him. When this woman heard the Gospel read by Mrs. Cantine, it was the first time she had ever heard anything good and out of her sin and misery she responded to it. What a joy to'know her sin is forgiven! Since she has become a Christian her husband has become almost blind and they have become poorer than beggars. Letters come i;rom her brother offering help and money if she will only become a Moslem again. Through all this she has kept the Faith and witnessed a good witness. Her life is very hard and she has temptations we cannot appreciate. Fray for her that her faith may grow and that her wit­ ness may bring others to Christ. “One does not see much of the thousands of Moslem women here in Bagdad. They are behind the doors. They are nursing sickly babies, rocking cradles, cooking meals, and talking scandal. They welcome the missionary and listen to her, but oh it is so hard to grasp what she says! They would like to understand but their hearts are so used to the had, and there has seemed no other way. Oh if we had only come to these women years ago when they were little children, then it would have been easy for them. Bagdad’s streets are full of children, friendly children, idle little children. And they will. take us into their homes and to their mothers. Tomorrow those mothers will be gone and these children will be in their places. Must we let them go untaught? May our prayers and intercessions for this great city increase that we may reach them before it be too late!

There is a very urgent need for homes for our single women mis­ sionaries in Basra and Kuweit, but especially in Basra. If that could be included in a school building, at least .$25,000 would be needed. A small beginning has been made towards this sum, and further gifts are most earnestly desired. Who will be the first to respond?

K a te V. S. O lcott, Secretary for Arabia.

REPORT OF THE CORRESPONDING SECRETARY In the interest of brevity there will be omitted from this report many customary details: the names of newly organized societies, changes in the personnel of the Board and its Classical Committees, mention of mission study text books and missionary periodicals, and reference to interdenominational conferences and committees in which members of the Board have participated. These may be found else­ where in the Year Book. Young Women’s Work ' We can make no further allusion to the Young Women’s De­ partment than to congratulate the Young Women’s Committee upon its conduct of the work allotted to it. That there has been growth in the number of societies during the interval when no Young Women’s Secretary has been in the field is evidence of life inherent in the Young Women’s organization and a promise of much greater things now that intensive cultivation is made possible by the appoint­ ment of a Field Secretary. We congratulate ourselves upon the coming of Miss R. Mildred Lang to the office of Field Secretary for Young Women’s Work and we congratulate Miss Lang upon the wide service that lies open to her. To Miss Gwladys Clarke we would express heartfelt appreciation of her invaluable service in keeping the office of the Young Women’s Committee running smoothly while the search for the new Secretary was on. That the increase in Young Women’s Societies should greatly outnumber the increase in adult Societies is natural, since this is the newer field, in which the work of organization is but just begun. The next development we hope for is the organization of the girls in the early “teen age” and below. Report from Synod of Iowa The organization of a Classical Missionary Union in the Classis of Pleasant Prairie is too significant to be omitted. It is recorded in the Report of Mrs. H. W. Pietenpol, Vice-President for the Synod of Iowa, which follows: “Increased interest in the work of God’s Kingdom has again been manifested by the organization of a new Missionary Confer­ ence, which is to be known as ‘The Central Illinois Missionary Con­ ference.’ It is to be hoped that this organization may inspire other groups of churches to organize for the same purpose. “The visit of Miss Dodd of India and Miss Oltmans of Japan during the fall conferences has been greatly appreciated and has emphasized the need for greater zeal in the work for the down-trodden sisters in other lands. Report of the Corresponding Secretary 55

“The various churches and societies in Dakota Classis have been visited during the year, most of which are not frequently visited by missionaries or speakers from the Board. The desire was expressed for more information concerning the work and for greater effort and consecration in the future. “Life Memberships are being taken by individuals and also by societies, in this way honoring some member for special services performed.” Meetings and Conferences Two hundred and sixty-five visits made by missionaries and Board members to Churches, Sunday schools and Societies during the year, exclusive of July and August, the usual round of spring and fall conferences, and speaking tours in some of the Classes have strengthened the friendly relations between the auxiliaries and the Board. Few Board members have been regularly available for these visits, but Dr. Hart, Miss Wyckoff, Miss Dodd, Miss Boynton, Mrs. Bosch, Mrs. De Free, the Misses Oltmans, Dr. Calverley, Miss Scarde- field and Mrs. Thoms have given the message direct from the field which the societies most desire to hear. Dr. Oltmans, Dr. Cantine, Dr. Harrison, Dr. Booth and Dr. Bosch, too, have helped, both in Auxiliary meetings and in Conferences. It has been a disappointment to the Board and to the societies that Dr. Ida Scudder was too deeply involved in the drive for the Union Colleges and Dr. Cal­ verley in her work at the Kennedy School of Missions to accept the many invitations sent to them, but Dr. Scudder, at the end of her busy furlough, was able to address some of the spring conferences and Dr. Calverley is to give a week later in the spring to a number of societies. At the Birthday Anniversary in February Dr. Scudder, Dr. Harrison and Dr. Zwemer spoke to an audience that filled to over­ flowing, both afternoon and evening, the auditorium of the Marble Collegiate Church, New York City. New features of the Birthday Celebration were the Young Women’s Supper and Northfield Rally, attended by over 350 young women, and the pageant “Lighted to Lighten” given under the skilled management of Mrs. Edgar Romig. It was a rare privilege to have upon the platform Mrs. John Scudder, for over 60 years a missionary in the Arcot Mission. Good reports have come from the Classes, speaking of the fine spiritual tone of their conferences and of the satisfaction felt by the Auxiliaries in a year’s work squarely done. Miss Dodd, visiting the Western Conferences after an interval of eight years, was astonished at their remarkable growth in attendance and in interest. In June the Secretary, en route to the Silver Bay Missionary Education Conference made a tour of Schoharie Classis. In October a tour of Poughkeepsie Classis was personally conducted by our Classical Committee, Mrs. Brinckerhoff. In connection with the Schenectady Conference Mrs. Hondelink visited a number of churches in that Classis. Miss Oltmans toured Rochester Classis in the same manner in connection with the Conference there. Miss Lawrence covered many of the churches of Albany and Newark Classes in the 56 Woman's Board of Foreign Missions interest of Dr. Hosmon’s work. Mrs. Henry J. Scudder kindled missionary fires in Rensselaer and Montgomery Classes in the biting winds of November and the snowdrifts of February and Mrs. Pieten­ pol refreshed the spirits of the women of Dakota in the sultry heat of July. Thus, in season and out of season we have tried to keep before the imagination of the women in the churches the need of a world of women for their interest and help. Special recognition is due Dr. Hart for six weeks spent in tell­ ing the churches about medical work in India and to Miss Charlotte Wyckoff who, while carrying a heavy course at Columbia University to equip herself more fully for her educational work in India, gave evenings and week-ends, and even “cut” some precious classes to make the Indian girls and women real to women and girls at home. Miss WyckofTs visit to the West in the particular interest of Young Women’s Work for Ranipettai School gave fresh enthusiasm to both Women’s and Young Women’s organizations. Mrs. Wayer wrote of her afterwards: “Her contact with the college girls is sure to bring results. Her happy, wholesome personality must bring cheer wherever she goes.” * Dr. Hart’s friends in the Madison Avenue Church of Albany manifested their confidence in her work, the loyalty of their co-opera­ tion and their personal affection by the gift of an ambulance and touring outfit which will make possible a wide extension of her influ­ ence in the region around the Mary Lott Lyles Hospital. Miss Wyckoff’s sponsors in the West End 'Avenue Collegiate Church of New York City made her glad with a gift of the physical training and domestic science equipment that the Ranipettai School so greatly needs. Sunday Schools - Dr. Hart, Miss Wyckoff and Miss Dodd have been very helpful in informing the Sunday schools about the Village Schools in India, supplementing the somewhat meager reports received from the field. In behalf of this work a valuable bit of propaganda literature was circulated on Foreign Missions Sunday, “The Brown Lamb’s Gift,” written by Miss Ruth Scudder in India and illustrated by Miss Katharine Van Brunt in America—a real instance of international co-operation. The result of the distribution of nearly 15,000 copies of this exquisite “human interest story” in the 260 Bible Schools that applied for them is recognizable in the receipt from Sunday schools in the two subsequent months of $1,913.57 applicable to the Villages. The village children are captivating the imagination of the Sunday school boys and girls. Thirty-five unpronounceable villages have now been adopted at amounts varying from $60 to $100 a year. Plans are under way for a better system of reporting, which we hope will establish closer relations between the schools supported and their supporters. An attractive certificate naming the Village is sent to every school that accepts the responsibility of annual maintenance. Encouraged by the growing enthusiasm for this work, resulting in nearly $3,500 total gifts for this object, the Woman’s Board has recently voted to take over from Synod’s Board the entire appropria­ tion for Village Schools in the Arcot Mission. (( The Treasury In a Foreword to the Annual Reports of the Foreign Secretaries last year attention was called to the appeals of the missionaries for more workers and more money. In the face of these appeals the Woman’s Board could not bring itself to make the 20 per cent, cut in its appropriations which Synod’s Board was forced to do. Relying on the women of the church to sustain us we set our goal at ten per cent, advance over the appropriations of the preceding year. The Treasurer reports today that we have not quite attained that goal. Total receipts for the year...... $162,877.08 Included in these receipts were Legacies Estate E. Noteboom...... $100.00 Estate Mary G. Brodhead...... 50.00 Estate Frances M. Beekman ...... 475.00 Endowed beds— Mary Taber Schell Hospital Delia Rospas (Legacy) ...... 1,142.29 In memory of “Elsie,” by Primary Department S. S. West End Collegiate Church, New York.. 1,000.00 Mary Lott Lyles Hospital In memory of Mrs. Isaac W. Gowen, by the Classis of Palisades—Missionary Union ...... 1,000.00 Hospital, Kuweit, Arabia Margaret Logan Tunnard ...... 1,000.00 Annuity Gifts Miss Sue Vandevelde ...... 300.00 Mrs. Margaret G. Zoller ...... 500.00 Life Membership Fund...... 1,400.00 Memorial Membership Fund...... 500.00 Not included in the above total were also Gifts for Oriental Colleges passed through the Treasury 3,506.98 A special gift to apply on the year 1923-4...... 8,000.00 To the appeal of the missionaries for better housing and better equipment, the Church has not been indifferent. The dormitory at Sturges Seminary, given by a friend of the Board and the Mission has been completed. The necessary furnishings were provided by the Birthday offering of $2,269.25. A start has been made towards procuring funds for a suitable home for the educational missionaries at Basra. The Teachers’ Bungalow at Chittoor, India, has- become a reality. A site has been purchased at Palmaner for the Women’s Indus­ trial Home, and the “Home,” formerly the “Lace Class,” has been transferred there from Ranipettai. The relief and gratitude of the missionaries at this provision for urgent need is expressed in the reports of the Foreign Secretaries. ‘ 58 IVoman’s Board of Foreign Missions

Union Colleges Reformed Church women have been delighted to have so large a share in the campaign which has procured $3,000,000 for the Women’s Union Christian Colleges in the Orient, and rejoice with their sisters of othe;/1 denominations in the completion of the fund. We have taken another step in the united movement for the educa­ tion of the East by entering into a new union institution, the Women’s Training College at [Madras, not only with financial support, but by a loan of Miss Alice Van Doren to be its Principal for the first year. The school will open in July with three staff members, one American, one British, one Indian. It wTas a pleasure to have the British member, Miss Brockway, present at our Board Meeting on the day before her sailing and to send by her our greetings to our American member, of whom we are justifiably proud. New Missionaries The appeal of the missionaries for more workers has become a cry of distress,—an S. O. S. call,—for even our younger women, for lack of reinforcements, are breaking under too heavy burdens. The call becomes louder and more insistent as the work grows and un­ precedented opportunities open on every hand. We thank God for the new workers He has thrust into the ripening harvest in Japan— Miss Florence C. Walvoord, Miss Dora Eringa, Miss Flora Darrow, Miss Florence Buss, and for a short term, shorter than we anticipated, Miss Gladys W. Hildreth. We thank Him for those now ready to go, Miss Harriet Bmmler to India, Miss Cynthia Borgman and Miss Alma Mathiesen to China and for those who are completing their preparation in training school and college and medical school. We entreat Him still for those others who seem indispensable to the ongoing of the work, the doctors for India, the Evangelistic and Educational Workers for China, the nurses, doctors, evangelistic mis­ sionaries and educational workers for whom the Arabian Mission signals in distress. Changes on the Mission Field The return to the field after furlough of Dr. and Mrs. Mylrea, so narrowdy escaping sudden death on their journey, of Miss Nellie Zwemer, Miss Edna Beekman and Mr. and Mrs. Day, of Dr. and Mrs. L. R. Scudder, Mrs. Walter T. Scudder, M.D., and Miss Charlotte Wyckoff, and of others who will sail during the summer and fall will give new heart to those who have been bearing the burden of their absence, but new gaps are created by the departure of those who must take their necessary rest this year and of some who will not return. Miss Maude Norling has resigned from the Amoy Mission and will return home this summer. Dr. Booth has retired from the Principalship of Ferris Seminary and is making his home in America. Forty years Dr. Booth has devoted to Christian education in Japan. Under his charge the school enrollment has grown from twenty pupils to COO. The School and its Principal have won high honors from the government and Report of the Corresponding Secretary 59 golden opinions from the Japanese people. Hundreds of Japanese women exerting a Christian influence in the life of Japan are his living and lasting memorial. Ferris Seminary is fortunate in securing Miss Jennie M. Kuy- per as Dr. Booth’s successor, though her transfer to Yokohama de­ prives the isolated station of Kagoshima of its only evangelistic woman missionary. Miss Kuyper’s educational experience, her under­ standing of Japanese girls and genuine interest in them, her strong Christian character, her poise and good judgment, above all, her acknowledged dependence on a Power beyond her own are the guaran­ tees that the future of our Seminary is secure. Our good wishes and our prayers are with Miss Kuyper in the untried way and our deep sympathy in the sorrow that has clouded this first year because of the death of her revered father. Since her accession to the Princi­ palship of the Seminary, Miss Kuyper has been appointed to the Board of Trustees of the Women’s Christian College of Tokyo. Through the Valley Other members of our missionary family have passed through the deep waters of sorrow. Miss Dalenberg in Arabia has received word of the death of her mother so far away in America. To Miss Matilda Berg in India the same sad message has been sent. Mrs. Pennings has lost a child at birth. Mrs. Vandeweg is bravely carry­ ing alone the work in the Elisabeth Blauvelt Memorial Hospital, which she and Dr. Vandeweg so happily began together. Mrs. Peeke and Mrs. Pieters have had heavy burdens in the illness of their children. These all are winning a good report through faith and are proving God’s faithfulness to His eternal promise: “When thou passest through the waters I will be with thee.” On May 25, 1922, Miss Julia Moulton, after thirty-one years of service in Japan, during which she had built up in Ferris Semi­ nary a department of music known far and wide for its high excel­ lence, suddenly, while playing an accompaniment for her pupils at a social gathering, was called away Home. She had walked with God all her days and she “was not, for God took her.” At the Memorial Service the Mission, recording their appreciation of her character and of the value of her work, expressed deep sorrow at the loss of a dear friend and valued colleague, and a deep sense of grati­ tude to God “for the life she lived, for the work she did, and for the gracious kindness of the manner in which He took her to Him­ self.” Their sentiment is echoed in our hearts. Though not strictly within the province of our report we would pause a moment to remember those heroes of the faith who served the cause of Missions, not in the far fields, but with equal ardor here among us, Dr. J. Preston Searle, and Dr. A. DeWitt Mason. There is not space to pay the tribute due, but we can take to our­ selves anew in this hour the exhortation of the writer to the Hebrews: “Remember your leaders, the men who spoke the word of God to you; look back upon the close of their career, and copy their faith.” Mrs. James F. Zwemer, since 1894 an Honorary Vice-President of the Board, after long illness was called Home. Dr. Zwemer had 60 Woman’s Board of Foreign Missions so recently preceded her it seemed he could not be in Heaven and leave her behind. He had gone in and left the gate open for her. Last week, on one of the loveliest days of May, we were called to say farewell to our friend, Mrs. Philip Van Alstine, twenty-four years a member of the Board and five years one of its Vice-Presi­ dents, for twenty-five years Classical Committee for the Classis of Paramus. We had just received her letter, rejoicing in the enthusi­ astic Conference of Paramus Missionary Union held in her church at Spring Valley on April 19th, and it was hard to realize that her activity had so suddenly ceased. Later we learned that she had been occupied in the work of her Master literally until He came, for, though suffering acutely and knowing that the time of her departure was at hand, she spent her last hours preparing a program for use in the Missionary Meeting to be held that afternoon. Hers was an unpretentious but effective life. She was a friend who will be sorely missed by her fellow-workers in the Church, the Classis and the Board, and by a host of friends on both sides of the world.

Anniversaries As we recognize the many special anniversaries of our mission­ aries in every field except China, we thank God for His protecting care and for “hearts made steadfast through God’s grace.” Mrs. L. R. Scudder- has completed thirty-five years in India, Mrs. Peeke thirty years in Japan, Mrs. Farrar and Mrs. H. J. Scudder twenty- five years in India, Mrs. Barny twenty-five years in Arabia, Mrs. Cantine and Miss Scardefield each twenty years in Arabia and Miss Van Doren twenty years in India. It gives us pause to think how many lives have been touched and transformed as God has worked with these missionaries, oft-times even in their weakness, confirming their word with signs following.

Our Golden Jubilee The mention of Anniversaries turns our thought to the approach­ ing half-centenary of the Board—our Golden Jubilee. The Jubilee Committee have been busy devising plans for a worthy celebration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Board in 1925. They have set before us four objectives: the enlargement of our mis­ sionary forces in the field, the improvement of our equipment through gifts to a Jubilee fund, the augmenting of our working forces at the home base by addition of new members and new societies, the increase of power through increase of prayer. These plans will be communicated to the Church during the coming year. Meantime, the Committee urges the Auxiliaries to be much in prayer that the ap­ proaching Jubilee celebration may bring to our entire denomination a deepening sense of co-operation with our Master in His work, which shall result in rich spiritual blessing to every congregation and family and individual. , We would not forget the things that are behind while we reach toward those that are before. Rather would we hold in remembrance the way in which our God has led us through the years and ac­ knowledge with reverent gratitude what the women of the Reformed Church have accomplished in His Name. We would use the experi­ ence of the past as stepping stones to higher things and climbing, lift the womanhood and childhood of the world nearer to God. E liza P. Cobb, Corresponding Secretary.

For the following poem by George A. Warburton, we are in­ debted to the Young Men's Christian Association. When Doubt lays chilly hand Upon Endeavor, ' . And holds before our eyes Some barrier in the mist, Let us remember, ’Spite of gloom, and feeble pulse, And ghosts of fear pointing dead fingers At our impotence, That God is still our Sun and Shield To warm and shelter us, = And our Power to drive us on. Let us up and at our tasks, To find again, as men have always found, His energy omnipotent;— So let us show to men In these good dags, The adequacy of God. . REPORT OF EDITORIAL AND EDUCATIONAL SECRETARY The weekly visits of the “Christian Intelligencer and Mission Field” with its missionary education, information and illustration has taken to over ten thousand homes the work of the Woman’s Board and the missionaries. Two hundred and thirty-two responded to the request for maga­ zines to be mailed to our missionaries and the recipients are most grateful and in turn pass on the reading matter to various organi­ zations even to seamen on outgoing ships. “Lighted to Lighten” received a cordial welcome but as many purchased the book elsewhere we can report only 400 copies sold. In connection with the books on India the following series of leaflets was published by the Woman’s Board: My Doctor Missie. In Prison, and Ye Came. One Sunday Evening in Chittoor. A Rembrandt Picture. Into the World of Friendship. My First Love. Three Panels. . Through study knowledge, interest and service have been in­ creased. Lives have been enriched as we have endeavored to share the outlook of the Christ. Because of the popularity of “The Brown Lamb’s Gift,” the leaflet issued for Foreign Missions Sunday, we needed a larger edition than usual; the Methodist Episcopal Board has asked the privilege of re­ printing it in an early issue of their “Missionary Education.” It was necessary to have a reprint of “Unwelcome” by Miss K. M. Talmage to fill an order for 2,500 copies for a Board in St. Louis. “The Light of the World,” the beautiful service prepared by Mrs. DeWitt Knox for the Day of Prayer has been reprinted not only by our own Board but also the Presbyterian Board. Other leaflets issued during the year have been: A Program for Sunday Schools. Diving for Pearls. . Developing Character School for Girls. The usual supplementary material for the text books on Japan is in course of preparation. Owing to the generosity of the World’s Sunday School Asso­ ciation we were given the privilege of having two missionaries attend the Summer School of Methods in Religious Education, which im­ mediately followed the Foreign Missions Conference at Northfield. The same favor has been extended this year and we hope two of our young women may arrange to attend. Through the printed page and spoken word we take as our motto Dr. Speer’s term, “Amplius”, no contraction, but a widening of our task to meet the challenge of the world today.

Olivia H . L awrence, Editorial and Educational Secretary. REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON YOUNG WOMEN’S WORK One year ago the Committee on Young Women's Work came into existence, but many weeks elapsed before we were organized for active work. 4A meeting held once each month from October to May, excepting February, has proved the faithfulness and earnest­ ness of the members, while results can only be viewed in anticipation. The first essential on our program was to find a Field Secretary and during the summer months letters were written urging our Western members, as well as those near at home, to pray without ceasing for this very important factor of our work. Somewhere we knew a soul was waiting for the call to this wonderful field of service for the Master and we believed that only through the communion of earnest prayer could a person so consecrated be found. The answer to these outpourings of faithful hearts has come to us‘in the person of Miss R. Mildred Lang. It was the wish of the Committees of both Boards that the subject of the Young Women’s Work should be presented at the Conferences by one speaker for the field at home and abroad. From our Committee Miss Ruth Hawley has been very gladly received whenever able to speak. Foreign Mission Week at Northfield last July reported capacity attendance at Camp Eendraeht, numbering eighty, with Mrs. Henry J. Scudder again Camp Leader and Mrs. A. Van Westenburg, Associate Leader; Miss Charlotte C. Wyckoff, Camp Guest. For the summer of 1923, July 13-21, our camp leader will be Mrs. J. Glen Sanders (Pearl Green) and her associate, Miss Frances Voorhees; our camp guest, Miss Katherine Green. On the evening of January 22nd, the Birthday celebration of the Woman’s Board of Foreign Missions provided an opportunity for a supper and Northfield Rally for about 350 young women of our churchesi Short talks from our missionaries were interspersed while the supper was in progress. Mrs. Henry J. Scudder, Dr. Calverley, Miss Janet Oltmans, Miss Evelyn Oltmans, Miss Charlotte Wyckoff, all spoke with such compelling interest that time passed all too quickly and we were soon hurrying into the Church to enjoy the beauty and inspiration of the pageant under the direction of Mrs. Romig, and the speakers of the evening’s program. Miss Van Brunt, but just returned from India, Miss Marion Benedict, Miss Martha s Robertson and Miss Charlotte Woods assisted in making the Rally a joyous occasion. Reports from our Synodical Representatives, while not as full as we would hope, show effort and are encouraging. Mrs. Glen Sanders, Particular Synod of Albany, writes of the Young Women’s Conference held at the Mt. Pleasant Reformed Church of Schenectady. A supper preceded the speaking. One hundred and thirty attended the Conference, which was addressed by Dr. Ida Scudder and Mrs. Graham. Much interest was aroused and we are assured that our Representative will not allow that interest to wane. Miss Jeanette Westveer reports for the Particular Synod of Chicago splendid financial returns with not all the Classes heard from. The Young Women’s Committee held their meeting at Grand Rapids, April 6th. Miss Agnes Buikema, delegate to Winona, gave a brief report and a stirring message from the State Student Volunteer Convention. All the societies felt that they had been greatly privileged in having Miss Charlotte Wyckoff with them in group conference at Muskegon, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Holland and Chicago and that they will be more deeply interested in their work for India since her earnest talks. On her part Charlotte Wyckoff wrote while on her Western trip: “I am just awfully glad I came. I shall always appreciate my Michigan friends in India better than I did now that I have seen their homes and people and understand their attitude toward things.” Dear Charlotte! What a joy it has been to know her and we who have read “The Jungle Child” will never again look up to the “spangled sky” on starry nights without breathing a prayer to the dear Father who sees both India and America that He will bless and guard her always. From the Particular Synod of Iowa Miss Dorothy Wormhoudt sends a report of 547 members and $990 with the added complaint from one Classis, that some societies are so neglectful of written requests for reports and prompt return of report blanks. We add here, in parenthesis, that this symptom is not distinctive of any one Classis or Society in this great Mission problem. The best report from the Particular Synod of New Brunswick is Miss Mabel Littell’s improved health and we look forward to having her more actively with us next year. Miss Florence Geer, Particular Synod of New York, has reported personally at meetings and evinced her readiness to serve. The Chairman of this Committee may feel incompetent, but she can never feel discouraged when the Office Secretary is always ready with data and required information. I offer deepest gratitude to Miss Gwladys Clarke who has helped me so kindly through my difficulties in this honored position. Her report follows in her own words: “We cannot always measure progress by figures, but we often can discover in them indication of a healthy condition of growth. There have been nineteen new societies of Young Women and Girls reported to us this year. They are: . First Astoria, L. I. Central Ave., Jersey City, N. J. Metuchen, N. J.

“In addition to these there are a number of societies, not new, but hitherto unreported, that have been brought to light through the following up of all clues presented. We are at this time, moreover, looking hopefully to other groups that have been interested to the extent of meeting to consider the matter of organizing permanently. “All this would seem to indicate that the Young Women’s Work is not standing still, but is exceedingly active and continually growing in strength. With this year’s increase the number of young women’s and girls’ organizations now approximates 375. A large part of the Secretary’s time has been devoted to the records of these societies in an effort to have them up-to-date, that the Com­ mittees may keep constantly in touch with them all “Whenever there has been special correspondence during the year—the answering of questions or the offering of suggestions—it has been a great satisfaction to feel that personal contact which counts for so much. This applies also to the interviews in the office which have been an encouragement to the Secretary and, we trust, of some help to the societies interested. “Most of the publication effort this winter has been centered upon the new hand-book, which contains much valuable material in the line of both information and suggestion. These hand-books have appeared at the spring conferences and are being sent now to all societies, in many of which there are new secretaries who will doubtless find them of great help. The Camp Eendraeht flier has been prepared and is already making its appeal, calling our girls to the inspiration and the happiness of a season at Northfield. “The need for a Field Secretary to devote all her time and energy to the cultivation of this big department of the Church has been felt so keenly throughout the year that it is with thankfulness we welcome her who has been called to the task, looking for and expecting great blessing upon the Young Women’s Work under her leadership.” A happy meeting of the Committees of both Boards was held April 27th—luncheon at one o’clock in the assembly room when we were greeted by our respective Presidents, Mrs. DeWitt Knox and Mrs. Bussing, also our Board Secretaries, Mrs. Allen and Miss Cobb who voiced the inspiration of the meeting by saying we were “welcoming the coming and speeding the parting guest”—Miss R. Mildred Lang and Miss Charlotte Wyckoff who sailed the following day. Our year of beginnings is ended. Will you help us with your prayers toward a year of glorious fruition? The words of Dr. Yan Dyke express our hope. “The glory of our life below comes not from what we do, nor what we know, but from what we are.” L ouise de M und H egeman, Chairman. REPORT OF SEWING GUILD In presenting the twenty-seventh annual report of the Sewing Guild, our thoughts are first drawn to the home side of the work. In reading the letters which accompany the boxes as they come from the Auxiliaries, I have been deeply impressed with the spirit in which the work has evidently been accomplished. Many letters bear witness to the joy, pleasure and blessing which have come while having a share in this noble work. Interest is awakened by the visit of missionaries to the societies, and the result—several young people’s societies have sent their first contributions to the Guild- work, and many have asked the question, “What can I do for the little Hindu kiddies?” We find among the children some of our most enthusi­ astic workers. From the Junior Christian Endeavor Societies, the Sunday schools and Mission Bands come splendid reports of work done, and much valuable material lias been sent. From a member of an Auxiliary we hear the story of the dolls, which is most interesting and may prove an incentive for others: “Early in the year, with the thought of the Sewing Guild and the need of dolls in mind, we started a 'Doll Contest’ between the ‘Torch Trimmers,’ a children’s society, and the ‘Far and Near Club,’ a young women’s organization. It’s been most interesting and suc­ cessful. Last week when the count was made the Torch Trimmers had the joy of knowing they had won, to the tune of 154 to 114. The dolls were all on exhibit, and were much admired.” From the Young Women’s Church League for Service and the Women’s Socie­ ties comes the one testimony of joy in the service done in our Master’s name. We will let our missionaries tell the story of the gifts when they have reached our mission stations. One of our young mission­ aries, whose heart is full of thanks for articles received, and who sends a list of the things she needs for her kindergarten, adds: “I am awfully pleased with my work, and I wish you could see my youngsters. They are the cutest things imaginable, and I could squeeze them. They have such big black eyes and look so serious at times.” From Arabia come so many beautiful messages of appreciation. One missionary writes: “I unpacked that lovely box just before Christmas. I wish I could tell how much we really do appreciate and use the things you work so hard to send. It’s thankfulness expressed in the thousand joys of having what one needs, when one is doing the work of five (as 1 was just today as everyone else was ill). We truly thank you for sending us such an abundance of valu­ able material, and those who packed them so carefully need much praise. The quilts, .blankets, soap, bandages, gauze and medical supplies are such a help.” Another writes: “You can never imagine what joy the boxes have given from the day when we unpacked them on the back veranda of our home just after last annual meeting in October, right up to the present date. We hadn’t had any dolls to distribute here in Basrah for such a long time, and this has certainly been a ‘feast after a famine.’ Dolls seem so little an object for missionary work, but they and the picture books and cards give us good bait to win the children. Probably you have heard of the prominent part which some of the large dolls took in the school entertainment. A class of cute youngsters sang that lovely lullaby, ‘Sleep, baby, sleep; Thy father is watching the sheep/ and each held a doll tenderly and patted it to sleep so realistically! A bisque doll that closes its eyes, dressed in the red checkered zephyr, with the Scotch soldier, I keep for any sick children who have to stay in the hospital. Just now an Omani boy is having much pleasure with them as he spends his long hours in bed. When he first arrived, he used to sing the verses of the Koran, but now I do not hear him do it. Instead, I hear him chanting, ‘Come unto me oil ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest’; ‘For the Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost.’ Is it not worth while?” From a school in China this word comes: “Some time ago I received a large box containing unusually nice and valuable things for ray schools. The contents of that box have made so many people happy, and will still make others happy.* The school supplies were just what I needed so much. The wrist warmers and mufflers con­ tinue to give pleasure and comfort. Many babies are warmer and more ‘comfy’ because of the nice warm blankets.” Another writes: “Please accept my hearty thanks. I never had a better box, and we are so happy. We had a Christmas tree for both schools and put some of the dolls and smaller presents and pretty cards on the tree. I gave the little boys in the kindergarten their choice of a doll or a ball, and without one exception they took dolls. The teachers each had a nice cake of soap with a washcloth. Thank you for the beau­ tiful pictures for the kindergarten walls. The picture rolls and cards have been a great comfort, and the children like them so much.” From one of the hospitals in India comes this appreciative ac­ knowledgment: “The boxes were so generous, and it was such a pleas­ ure to receive them, and such a joy to see so many nice sheets at one time, and the towels, pillow slips, bandages, dressings, hot water bottles, safety pins, baby slips and blankets, all the articles are so welcome! Never have I appreciated the work of the Sewing Guild as much as now.” “Your kind letter and the Guild box have been received, and both gave me great pleasure,” writes another. “It was a joy to unpack the box, and in some instances to find even a few more articles than I asked for. Every article will be used, and will give help and pleasure to some poor needy person. Many a little Hindu kiddie was made happy with a doll.” From “Ye Open Arms” comes this message: “The very evening I arrived from a wonderful High School- Teachers’ Conference down at the seashore, though I was bursting to tell about the conference, I was greeted with ‘The Box has come!’ and all else went to the wall until by jogging Boy’s elbow and replacing roving hammer-heads, we got the box open. Then what fun and hopes!! What a joy and present help are these jackets and petticoats!! And inside each jacket and some of the petticoats was a doll. Christ says, ‘The poor ye have always with you/ and in India this is certainly true. The children are* so poor. Then, too, we have orphans, who are dependent upon the school for everything. They were Utentfly in rags and tatters when the box came, and I immediately gave out clothes to fifty children, and on Sunday it was a pleasure to go to church and see them looking so clean and happy.” From a nurse in India: “The Sewing Guild boxes arrived last week. When they came we were quite excited. It was ’ rather late in the evening, too late to unpack them, so we just took off the cover of one of them and had a peek at the inside. The next day we unpacked them. All the articles were most welcome.” Another grateful nurse writes: “The boxes, of course, filled our hearts with joy and gladness. I had mine opened at the end of a particularly trying day for some of us, as I wanted my sister and Miss C. to be there to enjoy them with me. I was certain that they would prove a wonderful panacea in driving away all petty troubles, and in this I was not mistaken. It was such a joy to see the beautiful sheets and pillow slips. They are simply priceless, as well as the other things. It was also a joy to find in the box simple little frocks. Little Joy and Harriet are still wearing the little new ginghams I put on them last Sunday morning, and this is Tuesday and they still look quite respectable. They were delighted with them and they are taking good care of them. I came in during rest-hour yesterday and found them both asleep in their little cots in. their little under­ drawers and vests, and the dresses hanging carefully, one at the head of each bed. Since they are only four years old apiece, that might be an example to their older sisters. Indeed, our hearts are grateful to you and dear Mother Sewing Guild. What would we do .without her?” Our gifts that we send with so much thought and love call forth the question, “Why do the people so far away do so much for us?” And when answering, the missionary takes the opportunity to tell them the story of love, and of Jesus and His love. And so, dear friends, may we all press forward to the work of the coming year with a prayer in our hearts and a song on our lips, and do “whatsoever our hand findeth to do.” The opportunity is so wonderful and the need so plain.

REPORT OF THE BABY ROLL A feeling of gratitude to our Heavenly Father is the first thought in reviewing the work of the past year, for not one of the little ones in “Pity Little Children Hall” at Amoy was injured by tbe fire which occurred during the winter. Additions to the Baby Roll have been 550, an increase of only fifty over last year, but twenty-two churches have been added to our list, and probably more will respond to the recent appeal to * those societies not represented on the Baby Roll. Christmas cards were sent again this year to those who had been made members. A total amount of $699.87 has been paid to the Treasurer of the Woman’s Board of Foreign Missions, $30 of which was given in memory of Charles H. Barnes of Raritan, Illinois. May we suggest that a Baby Roll Secretary be appointed in each missionary society, to whom leaflets will be sent upon request. “Up to us sweet childhood looketh, Heart and mind and soul awake. Teach us of Thy ways, 0 Father, Teach us for sweet childhood’s sake. In their young hearts, soft and tender, Guide our hands, good seed to sow, That its blossoming may praise Thee— Praise Thee, wheresoe’er they go.”

Caroline R aven M acL ean, Secretary. REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON LIFE MEMBERSHIPS The Committee on Life and Memorial memberships reports a total of fifty-seven admitted to our “Family’' from May, 1922, to April, 1923. Our circle is growing, likewise the school in Arabia, to which the gifts for these memberships, during the past year, have been devoted. Each gift means an increase in efficiency in the school work, but the farther reaching benefit which is being felt by our splendid “Soldiers of the Cross” in the “front line trenches,” in China, Japan, India and Arabia is too great to be measured. By means of having a missionary for a praying mate our Life Members certainly have a very vital part in the work in certain specified portions of our Mission Fields. Your committee proposes that each year the day of special prayer for Missions, occurring in February,* be the time when our Life Members in each Classis make an effort to meet together for prayer and conference, con­ cerning our missionaries and their work. Your committee also has in mind plans, of which due notice will be given, whereby each Life Member may have a material part in the Jubilee of the Woman’s Board of Foreign Missions, which will occur in 1925. During the year six names have been inscribed upon the “Memorial Membership” Roll, through gifts of relatives or friends of those so honored. A beautiful way to keep green the life and works of those who have passed on, is by alleviation of suffering, in this instance through medical work in China. Miss Kate Frelinghuysen, of Somerville, New Jersey, was for many years an Honorary Vice-President of the Woman’s Board of Foreign Missions, and through her generosity and love of service a large number of women in the Second Church, of which she was a devoted member, were made Life Members of the Woman’s Board of Foreign Missions. I t was a fitting and loving thought which prompted the women of her Auxiliary to place the name of Miss Frelinghuysen upon the Memorial Membership Roll. We trust that many others during the coming year may be moved to consider this method of “loving remembrance.”

A daline W. S tillw ell, Chairman. The Forty-Ninth Anniversary Though May 10, 1923, was reported to be the' coldest May 10th on record, the very cordial welcome of the women of the First Reformed Church, Passaic, N. J., quickly warmed the hearts of the friends who gathered there to celebrate the Anniversary of the Woman’s Board of Foreign Missions—^gathered in such numbers that the church auditorium was soon filled to capacity. As Psalms 86 and 87 were read, led by Dr. Ame Vennema, resolution was renewed to hasten the day foretold when “All nations whom Thou hast made shall come and worship before Thee, 0 Lord, and shall glorify Thy name.” Rev. Edward Dawson, pastor of the Church, led in prayer, promising greater consecration *and determination to love more and to serve better. Mr. Dawson welcomed the Woman’s Board of Foreign Missions and friends to the Old First Church which has been used of God in Passaic for over two hundred years, a church which has a warm place in its heart for all missionary activity and has two representatives on the list of missionaries of the Woman’s Board. In responding, Mrs. De Witt Knox, President of the Board, reminded those present that the Woman’s Board could not live without them and their support. In announcing the Golden Jubilee of the Board in 1925, Mrs. Knox asked for the co-operation of every woman in each church, for her love and prayers. With these, the Jubilee gifts will be assured. The Treasurer, Miss Katharine Van Nest, reported receipts for the work of 1922-23 of $162,878.02, of which amount the young women’s societies contributed more than $9,984. A number of missionaries were present. It was a privilege to greet Mrs. John Scudder, a missionary in In d ia, for sixty-two years, and to hear a few word^ from her. Miss Gertrude Dodd, a member of the Board who has also been an associate missionary in India for five and a half years, told of the joy of helping there, and of the fresh courage given to those on the field by the thought of loving hearts in the home-land praying for them. Mrs. Henry J. Scudder, who expects to sail for India in August, asked that friends would follow her and surround her children in America with their prayers. Miss Evelyn Oltmans asked to be considered a delegate from the Sunday-school children of the Japan Mission bringing their message, “Thank you.” Miss Janet Oltmans, who has taught in Sturges and Ferris Seminaries, Japan, spoke of the privilege it had been to visit some of the churches and Uomes while on furlough. Dr. E. S. Booth brought greetings from the staff and seven hundred students in Ferris Seminary. Dr. Booth thanked the Board for its fine support since he had been connected with the Seminary, in 1883. A. message was brought by Miss Edith Boynton, Amoy Mission, one of the missionaries of the Passaic Church. Two missionary nurses were introduced, Miss Harriet Brumler, under appointment to the Arcot Mission, and Miss Alma Mathiesen, under appointment to the Amoy Mission. Miss Jennie Scardefield brought a message from the women of Kuweit, “Thank them one thousand times for their love for us, it is all the love we know.” Miss Scardefield made a plea for the house in Busrah, the object of the offering. With a wonderful opportunity to train from sixty to one hundred girls in a Christian school, there is no safe building in which it can be held, nor a place for those in charge to live. Rev. E. F. Romig led in prayer consecrating the offering. A duet, “Out of the Ivory Palaces,” was sung very effectively. The final address of the morning session was delivered by Dr. Taeke Bosch, Amoy Mission, on Answered Prayers. God has answered prayers for an open door in China. He has put down obstacles so that the Amoy Mission now has 12,000 pupils in its schools. In some of the churches it is necessary to hold two services Sunday mornings to accommodate the people who attend. The Neerboseh Hospital, Sio-Khe, was founded and has been continued in prayer. Hostility has been overcome, and last year 16,000 patients were treated there, everyone receiving an adequate explanation of salvation through Christ. Prayer for a united church has been answered, and the South Fukien United Church consists of two hundred and twenty churches. Let the church at home now pray for ability to go through the open doors, to seize the opportunity to go forward instead of barely holding what has been taken. “The effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man (and woman) availeth much.” Prayer and benediction by Rev. James L. Amerman, D.D., veteran missionary to Japan, brought the program of the morning to a close, and a bountiful luncheon provided by the efficient women of the Church was enjoyed. At two o’clock a still larger audience joined in the opening hymn and prayer, led by Dr. E. S. Booth. Mrs. D. V. B. Hegeman, Chairman of the Committee on Young Women’s Work, introducing Miss R. Mildred Lang, testified to the fact that God answers prayers, for He had answered the prayers of members of both of the Women’s Boards for a Field Secretary for Young Women’s Work. Miss Lang’s statements that she considered it a privilege to serve the Church we all love, and that she relied on the women to stand back of her in her work as Field Secretary touched a responsive chord in those who listened to her. The Committee on Resolutions extended hearty thanks to all who had contributed to the pleasure of the day—the women of the Church, the pastor, the organist, the soloists and the ushers. The next speaker, Dr. Paul W. Harrison of the Arabian Mission, reminded his audience that the success of missionaries depends, not on what they carry out with them, but on the support they leave behind. The foundation principle of missionary enterprise is that people need something, and in Arabia the problem often met is that people do not want that something. By graphic illustrations, Dr. Harrison showed that the women and children in Arabia are in need— their need is' greater than that of famine-stricken people in Europe. We have something that will satisfy their need. Missionaries are sent to supply it, to put Christ in their lives, but they will not accomplish it alone. St. Paul, the greatest missionary, wrote, 74 IVoman’s Board of Foreign Missions

“Brethren, pray for us,, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you.” Missionaries today must have the same support. Very appropriate was the offertory that followed, beautifully sung by Miss Eleanor Stanley White: “Be strong! “We are not here to play, to dream, to drift. “We have hard work to do, and loads to lift.” Prayer dedicating the offering was made by Dr. Harrison. It was a great pleasure to listen to Dr. Ida S. Scudder once more before she sailed on her return to India. Dr. Scudder repeated a dream of one of the students at the Medical College, Vellore, that, seeing a wilted flower garden, she had taken a small jar to water it; one flower, badly faded, whispered, “It is too late,” and she found that her jar was empty—she had chosen too small a jar. By many touching and compelling illustrations Dr. Scudder caused her audience to see vividly the need of those in darkness in India, and begged that the largest jar possible be chosen to carry the living water to them, that, through alleviation of suffering and education, India may be lifted nearer to the feet of Christ. “Lovest thou me? Feed my sheep. Feed my lambs.” While the hymn “0 Zion Haste” was sung, the platform was quickly made ready for the pageant presented by the young women of the church. “The Search for The Light,” published by the Woman’s Board of the Lutheran Church, was admirably produced, an excellent chorus choir interpreting the scenes with fine missionary hymns. The First Church of Passaic is to be congratulated on its young women and their readiness to use their time and talents in the interest of the Kingdom. As a majority of the young women had been unable to attend the earlier sessions, an after-meeting was held, when Northfield songs were sung with Miss Eleanor White as leader. Miss Lang spoke briefly, and Dr. Scudder, whom the girls love so well, gave them a final message, an inspiration to greater consecration and service. The keynote, struck again and again throughout the day’s program, was the place and power of prayer in missionary endeavor. Knowing the value of this instrument that has been put in our hands, God forbid that we should sin against our representatives at the front, against those dwelling in darkness feeling for the light, against the Master of us all, by neglecting to use it. “Pray without ceasing.” Sarah A.
